Clearing up confusion about vitamin D intake
By Joe Graedon and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D. / Dec 11, 2010 / Seattle Times
 
Q: My doctor prescribed 50,000 IUs of vitamin D a week for about five weeks. After reading the recent news on vitamin D, I'm concerned that I am getting way too much.

A: A panel of experts recently modified its recommendation for daily intake of vitamin D from 200 International Units to 600 IUs. The Food and Nutrition Board suggested that most people do not need to take any extra vitamin D or calcium and should get their daily needs met through sun exposure or diet.

Your doctor is best able to determine if you are still deficient in this crucial nutrient. That is why he prescribed the large dose you have been taking.

The new guidelines suggest an upper limit of 4,000 IUs of vitamin D per day for healthy people. A weekly dose of 50,000 IUs exceeds that amount, but is prescribed for a limited time to correct a serious deficiency.

Facebook to Compensate Gay Employees for Benefit Disparity
by Mark Hefflinger on December 13, 2010 / DMW
 
Palo Alto, Calif. - Facebook has joined a growing list of companies that are compensating gay employees in domestic partnerships for the extra taxes they have to pay as a result of disadvantages written into federal law, The New York Times reported. On average, gay employees registered as domestic partners in states that recognize such civil relationships pay an average of around $1,069 more in taxes than a straight married employee with similar coverage, The Times noted, citing research from UCLA's Williams Institute.

Facebook joins Google (NASD: GOOG), Cisco (NASD: CSCO), the Gates Foundation, Kimpton Hotels, Bain & Company and others in offering to equalize the benefits they offer to all employees.

The additional compensation is also taxable, so Facebook said it will raise affected gay employees' salaries slightly -- to cover the extra cost -- while Bain said affected employees will receive a lump sum reimbursement at the end of each year to account for the cost.

The Times further notes that these companies are not offering the same benefit to heterosexual couples in domestic partnerships -- as they may choose to legally marry and receive full benefits.

Meanwhile, even gay couples legally married in some states do not receive federal recognition of their marriages, due to the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act.

URGENT:  Boycott Gold's Gym, Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations and to Proposition 8 (California) to prevent gay marriage. I would not purchase "Blood Diamonds," nor should a person / organization be contributing funds to both Hitler / Nazi's and the Jews at the same time!   Obviously giving money to the Jews and not Hitler/Nazi's was the right thing to do.   Hence, these companies violated my trust and well-being.   They gave money to my enemy who would terminate me from my job, deny me housing and send me to a Internment camp.  Therefore, goodbye Gold's Gym, Target and Best Buy!  The CEO's of these companies have been insensitive to our reaction and do not even comprehend their actions!  What takes so long to "fire" these Neanderthals?
