OKAY! So, I’m anemic. What do I do for B-12? It’s one of the factors keeping me from being raw.

Everyone says it’s in dirt and stuff, but I’m really not down with not scrubbing my vegetables that aren’t even organic.

So do any raw supplements exist?

Thanks!

Did you know that every 20 minutes another child is diagnosed with autism? This has occurred in my family.

I am walking in the fight against autism at Walk Now for Autism, joining tens of thousands of other people united by a single cause and dedicated to raising money to find a cure for autism.  The money raised at Walk Now for Autism supports Autism Speaks mission to finding the causes, effective treatments and a cure for autism through funding essential biomedical research.  One in every 150 children is diagnosed with autism. Autism Speaks directs 75¢ out of every dollar raised to autism research, awareness and outreach.

My personal fundraising goal is $1000.00. I am well on my way. Please help me reach my goal by making a donation. You can make a donation online using the link below or visit www.walknowforautism.org and enter my name.  You can also use the donation form located on my page to mail a check; please make checks payable to Autism Speaks and mail to:

For $1 billion over the next 40 years, the U.S. could develop 100 gigawatts (a gigawatt equals one billion watts) of electricity generation that emits no air pollution and pumps out power to the grid even more reliably than coal-fired power plants, according to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Now Google.org--the charitable wing of the search engine giant--has chipped in nearly $11 million for this renewable resource: so-called geothermal power, or tapping the Earth's heat to make electricity.

Mice, and most likely humans, have the ability to taste calcium--and most do not like it, according to new research presented today at the American Chemical Society's semiannual national meeting, held this week in Philadelphia. Scientists say the findings could explain why, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 80 percent of Americans do not get enough calcium when it is so important for our health. [More]

The already parched U.S. Southwest is drying up even more, at least in early spring, because of climate change. A new study in Geophysical Research Letters shows that since 1978, the jet stream that brings rainstorms from the Pacific over the western U.S. has been shifting northward--and so has the rain and snow.

You're just about ready to buy a pair of tickets on Ticketmaster, but before you can take the next step, an annoying box with wavy letters and numbers shows up on your screen. You dutifully enter in what you see--and what a bot presumably can't--in the name of security.

But what you may not know is that you also have helped archivists decipher distorted characters in old books and newspapers so that they can be posted on the Web.
