Huffington Post: Zach Tahir, 5-Year-Old Who Has Pica, Eats Window Blinds, Thread And Wall Plaster

Posted: 24 May 2012 10:27 AM PDT

Rachel Horn, a mom from the United Kingdom, has to be creative to get her 5-year-old son Zach Tahir to eat food, but not for reasons you might expect.

The Manchester Evening News reported that Horn has to rip up celery and sprinkle nuts on the carpet in order to get her son to eat them -- and to encourage him to not eat window blinds, thread and wall plaster.

That's because Zach, who has autism, also has a disorder called pica, which is when a person has the urge to eat non-edible items. The pica is thought to be linked to his autism, the Manchester Evening News reported.

Huffington Post: Raise Minimum Wage, NY Business Leaders Urge Cuomo, GOP

Posted: 24 May 2012 10:31 AM PDT

As lawmakers in Albany, N.Y., contemplate a boost to the state's minimum wage, a group of business leaders came out Thursday in support of hiking the wage floor from $7.25 to $8.50, putting unusual pressure on state Republicans and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to shepherd the raise into law.

It's typically low-wage worker advocates and labor unions urging lawmakers to raise the minimum wage. So the statements made Thursday by business figures, including the head of the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce and an executive of big-box wholesaler Costco, undermine the stated concerns of some GOP lawmakers and industry lobbies that a $1.25 raise to the minimum wage would be an unfair burden on state businesses.

"We need to urge our legislators to vote on this bill. If they don't get it done this year, it's not going away," Mark Jaffe, president of the Greater New York Chamber, said on a conference call with reporters. "Of course retailers and fast food [companies] with big powerful lobbyists want us to think this will chase business out of the state. But that's not what we [heard] back from our membership."
