Next, I applaud those companies for that. It's a great thing and I bet those employees are elated to get some relief however slight from DOMA. That's the next thing to go down after Prop 8!

Today's Health - Wellness / Exercise / Reflections: 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. Consider joining: Take Action: And Now, Model Wars!

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.
