Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's liver and fatty tissues. Vitamin D acts as both a vitamin and a hormone.
Vitamin D is found in some foods, but the main sources are vitamin D-fortified milk and sunlight. The ultraviolet rays of the sun react with cholesterol present in the skin and create previtamin D3. This compound goes through a series of reactions in the kidneys and the liver, and the final product is vitamin D.
Vitamin D's functions:
- Plays a crucial role in the growth and maintenance of strong, healthy bones
- Maintains normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus
In children with low vitamin D levels, supplementation can improve bone mineral density. While the evidence does not give a clear answer, it has also been suggested that vitamin D supplementation may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer.
Vitamin D has also been found to improve pain symptoms in patients with low vitamin D levels.
Recommended Intake
Here are the guidelines for vitamin D intake:
IU: international units
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends supplementation for all children who do not receive at least 400 IU of vitamin D daily. Breastfed babies may require a supplement within the first few days of life. Bottle-fed babies who do not consume enough vitamin-D fortified formula may also need the supplement, as well as any child who does not get plenty of vitamin D in their diet.
As seen above, requirements for pregnant women are the same as for healthy adults, though some believe that pregnant mothers should take more vitamin D than recommended. Furthermore, some experts believe that people at highest risk for vitamin D deficiency, such as older adults or those with limited sun exposure during the winter months, should take 1,000 IU or more daily. However, since the risk of vitamin D toxicity increases with higher doses, such recommendations ought to be discussed individually with your doctor.
Vitamin D Deficiency
Symptoms of overt vitamin D deficiency are rare today, but can include the following:
- Rickets—in children, a disease in which the bones become soft and weak
- Osteomalacia—in adults, a disease in which the bones become soft and weak
- Muscle weakness
More mild vitamin D deficiency is thought to be relatively common, especially in higher latitudes, and may lead to increased risk of osteoporosis.
Vitamin D Toxicity
Since vitamin D is stored in the body and not excreted in the urine like most water-soluble vitamins, it is possible for it to accumulate and reach toxic levels. Here are safe upper level intakes for vitamin D:
Symptoms of toxicity:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Weakness
- Weight loss
- Heart rhythm abnormalities
- Deposits of calcium in soft tissues, like the kidney, heart, and lungs due to raised levels of calcium in the blood
It is unlikely for sunlight and diet to cause vitamin D toxicity.
If you have problems with any symptoms related to vitamin D toxicity, take less vitamin D supplements.
Major Food Sources
Fortified foods provide the most vitamin D. Examples of foods that may be fortified with vitamin D are:
- Milk
- Cereal
- Orange juice
- Yogurt
- Margarine
- Soy beverages
There are not many foods that are natural sources of vitamin D. Of those foods that have vitamin D naturally are (most to least):
- Fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel
- Beef liver
- Cheese
- Egg yolks
- Mushrooms
A relatively small amount of sun exposure can provide adequate vitamin D. In a study of naval personnel in submarines, 6 days of sun exposure proved capable of supplying enough vitamin D for 49 sunless days. However, the actual synthesis of vitamin D through sunlight is affected by season, latitude, time of day, cloud cover, smog, use of sunblock, and skin pigmentation.
Health Implications
Populations at Risk for Vitamin D Deficiency
The following populations may be at risk for vitamin D deficiency and may require a supplement:
- Breastfed babies—Human milk does not have enough vitamin D. Breastfed babies should receive a 400 IU vitamin supplement each day to make up for this.
- Older adults—Studies suggest that adults over age 65 have less ability to synthesize vitamin D through sunlight exposure than adults aged 20-30. They are also likely to spend less time out in the sun.
- Locales with limited sun exposure—People who live above latitudes of approximately 40°N and below latitudes of approximately 40°S are at risk for deficiency during most of the winter months.
- People with dark skin—Those with darker skin are less able to make vitamin D from the sun.
- People who are obese —Body fat can bind to some vitamin D preventing it from getting into the blood where it can be used by the body.
- People with a reduced ability to absorb dietary fat—Because vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, fat is required for its absorption from foods. Some conditions that can cause fat malabsorption include Crohn's disease, cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, pancreatic enzyme deficiency, and liver disease.
Tips For Increasing Your Vitamin D Intake
Here are tips to help increase your intake of vitamin D:
- If you take a vitamin supplement, make sure it contains vitamin D.
- Drink vitamin D-fortified milk.
- Get sun exposure, but be careful to watch for sunburn. Sunlight is a major cause of skin cancer.

Top 16 Reader's Choice Moto Songs
Don't Miss Stories on Motorcycle.com
Julian Cope – East Easy Rider
Returning for the final song of the evening is fastfreddie and his request for Julian Cope's, East Easy Rider. Not nearly as thrash as his earlier Motorhead suggestion, but easily more esoteric and equally British. At least this song is about motorcycling. However, both songs are more lyrically shallow than the wheels on the bus going round and round. In fact, East Easy Rider is basically composed of four repeated lines (but we still like the song):
"Well it's a bruising shattering ride
But I cannot deny myself this luxury
East easy rider
Easy ride inside of you"

Handgun Shooting Position and Grip
Use eye and ear protection. Assume a stable position. Grip the handgun with both hands. Do not cross the thumb of the supporting hand behind the slide of a semi-automatic.
- Body position and grip are vital to hitting the target. The hand position on the grip of a handgun is especially critical. Although the grip configuration of the revolver and semi-automatic are different, the gripping procedure is the same.
- Hold the handgun high on the grip so that the recoil is directed back to the hand and arm in a straight line. This allows better repeat shots and more accurate shooting. Use a two-handed hold whenever possible, applying pressure from front to rear.
- When hunting, use a tree trunk, steady limb, or other stable object as a rest. Placing some padding, such as a hat or a jacket, on top of a hard rest helps with your aim.

Vermont lawmakers face debates on taxes, death and pot
MONTPELIER -- Vermont lawmakers will return to Montpelier a bit later than usual this year but are expected to face a full agenda including projected shortfalls in the general and transportation funds, as well as social issues ranging from physician-assisted death to decriminalization of marijuana.
Lawmakers usually start their sessions a few days after New Year's, but the lay of the 2013 calendar, combined with a state law saying they start on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in January, will push this year's start to Jan. 9.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and the leaders of the House and Senate have been saying they don't want to raise taxes. Shumlin focuses his negative answers to that question to "broad-based taxes," including those on incomes, sales, meals and lodging. Smith says he would consider tax increases only after scouring the budget for possible cuts or funding shifts to make up a general fund budget shortfall projected at $50 to $70 million.
The picture is even bleaker in the transportation fund, where a special study committee reported recently the state is expected to run $250 million short a year for the next several years. Lawmakers are expected to be considering options including increasing Vermont's 20-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax and a new property tax based on miles traveled instead of vehicle value.
One area in which lawmakers won't be asked to take definitive action is in the state's ongoing push to create a single-payer health care system by 2017. When they passed a law putting Vermont on that path in 2011, they had expected to see a funding proposal during the 2013 session. Now that's seen as unlikely.
Now administration officials say they want to focus first on setting up the health care exchange called for by 2014 under the federal Affordable Care Act. The Vermont plan is to use the exchange later as a springboard to single payer. Robin Lunge, director of health care reform for the administration, said it's best to tackle one thing at a time.
"I don't think you can talk about Thanksgiving and Christmas at the same time and have people understand whether they're eating or opening presents," she said.
Two social issues that have been debated in recent years are expected to reappear on legislative calendars in 2013.
Shumlin said during his campaign that he wants to see Vermont change from criminal penalties for possession of even small amounts of marijuana to civil fines, akin to a traffic ticket. He argues that young Vermonters shouldn't face a lifelong criminal record for dabbling with marijuana.
House Speaker Shap Smith has been a stumbling block in the past, saying he worries about the message that softening the state's anti-pot stance will send to young people. But he said in an interview that he would not try to block the issue from coming to the House floor for a debate.
The other recurring issue Shumlin said he hopes will pass this year is a law that would allow doctors under certain conditions to help terminally ill patients end their lives.
Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell, D-Windsor, said he continues to take a dim view of that idea, both because of his religious convictions -- he's Roman Catholic -- and because he believes it will get the government too involved in difficult decisions better left to physicians, patients and families.
"The bill has far-reaching implications in the area of doctor-patient relationships," he said.
Both Campbell and Smith said they're interested in -- but have yet to define in concrete terms -- legislation that would aim ease the path from school to work. They said many Vermont employers are looking to hire people but can't find employees in the state with the technical skills they need.

TRAINING: A typical day of training varies from day to day but it always involves a minimum of 2 workouts and a run in between. Monday is 3 workouts: MMA sparring, a run, conditioning, and kickboxing class. After all that comes work at the UFC GYM..... The rest of the week is very similar to Monday schedule wise, but I have many different things I do for training.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started doing Toughman contests at the age of 19, but training was not a part of the game plan then. (Laughs) It was about going in and trying to hit the guy more than they hit me. When I was 21 I decided to give MMA a go, and a few months later I watched the premiere of the original TUF Series. Who would have thought all those years ago that I would get to see how they felt first hand.
What ranks and titles have you held? Absolutely none... I've never done any official training to acquire a Belt or Rank with a Martial Arts Academy
Do you have any heroes? There are many people I would consider influential to my life, and in a way they are all heroes to me. From sports icons, training partners, coaches, and friends, to my family who has always had my back through thick and thin. I love you all.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It's the accomplishment I've been looking to achieving from the first day I started training in this sport. I have sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears for all of this and now I get to show everyone that with hard work and dedication, ALL dreams are possible.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I attended Vernon College in Wichita Falls, Tx for 2 years and studied Aircraft Mechanics
What was your job before you started fighting? I was at every small crap job you could imagine before I started fighting, but my job of choice over the years has been Security/Bouncer since I was about 19 years old.
Specific accomplishments in pro competition? I consider my entire career an accomplishment. I have overcome many different obstacles and am still pushing forward and creating new goals for myself to accomplish. I want to be a role model for all that want to pursue this great sport that I love so much.
Favorite grappling technique: Any that helps me win
Favorite Striking technique: A spinning elbow learned via Jon Jones

Public Opinion Strategies helped us to clarify what we wanted to learn and then conducted research and analysis that shed light even beyond the questions we set out to ask. They were very receptive to our suggestions, responsive to our queries, and flexible when we needed them to be.
Public Opinion Strategies has consistently offered unparalleled advice and spot-on polling that has shaped how and where we spent money and deploy key resources. Additionally, they have always been an excellent steward of limited campaign resources, ensuring we spend wisely and not a dollar more than necessary in order to get the information we need.
Robert Blizzard and Public Opinion Strategies did a great job for us throughout our successful campaign for Congress. Robert gave us accurate data, spot on analysis, and professional advice, all of which were essential to our victory.
Public Opinion Strategies is one of our go-to pollsters when it comes to testing public support for bond ballot measures and other initiative proposals. They are available to provide ongoing consultation with regard to crafting of ballot questions, public outreach messaging, and related efforts.
ACLI has worked with Public Opinion Strategies for decades, through several tough industry battles—often ones in which public opinion does not naturally fall on the side of insurers. Yet Bill and his team consistently provide invaluable strategic advice by refining our messages and helping us frame our issues in a way that makes them understandable and persuasive.
The data from Public Opinion Strategies provided important insight and informed our public awareness campaign. We sincerely appreciate their professionalism and expertise in this arena.
Nicole McCleskey and the team at Public Opinion Strategies have been invaluable to me, both during my campaigns and as Governor of the State of New Mexico. It's not just the accuracy of their numbers, but guiding the overall strategy that makes them so valuable.
Public Opinion Strategies has been a part of our team in Missouri for more than a decade. With their data and guidance, Republicans here were able to attain a majority in the House in 2002 for the first time in fifty years, and we have been able to grow that majority to the point that we now have a record, veto-proof majority.
In my tenure at two leading business associations, facing huge and complex consumer issues, I have benefitted enormously from the objective advisory skills of Bill and his team. They do their homework, they are rigorous, dispassionate and thoughtful. Turning questions into answers is a clever tag, but it's also an apt description of the professional talents of the firm.
I consider Public Opinion Strategies to be a part of our team. That is the way we have always worked. They have helped us to understand our needs and fashioned research solutions to meet those needs. They have helped us to meet killer deadlines by being flexible, executing rapidly, and insuring quality. Teamwork is the best way to describe it.
Accuracy, speed, and deep knowledge of key issues and public sentiment are the hallmarks of quality opinion research, and on these measures Public Opinion Strategies consistently delivers. I have had the pleasure of working with Public Opinion Strategies for more than 15 years on dozens of issues, and they are undoubtedly the gold standard.
Public Opinion Strategies' track record of success and wealth of experience in political campaigns and issue advocacy are why they are one of the most trusted and well respected public opinion firms in Washington, D.C. Their insights and perspectives have helped to inform a wide array of public affairs activities across multiple industries.

Automation Saves Pool and Spa Owners Time, Money
(NewsUSA) - No one would purchase a television without a remote, yet many people install pools without bothering to get them automated -- a move that can cost pool owners thousands of dollars and hours in routine pool maintenance a year. The luxury of pool and spa automation is now available to the millions of pool owners who thought it was unaffordable.
Automation can be added to any pool at any time. With an automated pool, owners can stop flipping switches to control pool functions, and they can skip scrubbing, vacuuming, and adding chlorine. Owners can control their pools' heaters, pumps, filters, chlorinators, spa jets, lighting, cleaners, solar heating and cooling automatically or via remote control.
According to Hayward Pool Products, which makes OnCommand, a small aftermarket controller that automates basic pool functions, automated pools save more than time. Automated pools can save up to 70 percent on pool operating costs every season -- savings that can add up to $1,200. The key is finding the right solution for every backyard. OnCommand is perfect for pool owners who are renovating.
Some products, such as LED lights, are simply more efficient. Others can be automated to find additional savings. For example, pool owners can save up to 90 percent in energy costs with a variable-speed pump. Pool owners can better manage the water temperature to save on heating bills, raising the temperature only when they know that the pool will be in use. It's the same principle as a digital home thermostat. Ever crank up your heater and forget to turn it down? Remember that month's energy bill?
Hayward offers a complete line of automation products that are suited for new pools, automation that can grow with the needs of the pool owner and changes in the backyard. The right combination of equipment can continuously balance pH and sanitize water. Some automated pools offer integrated salt chlorination, which makes chlorine from ordinary salt. Automating sanitation does more than take the hassles of water chemistry away, it eliminates red eyes, itchy skin and chemical odors. Water remains clean, clear and soft automatically.

Other Proposed Uses
Boldo ( Peumus boldus ) is an evergreen shrub native to South America. It grows about 6 to 20 feet high and has thick waxy leaves. Although boldo has a long history of use as a culinary spice and medicinal herb, and is still one of the most common medicinal plants used in Chile, it has only recently become the subject of scientific research.
The leaves of the boldo plant have traditionally been used as a treatment for liver and bladder disorders as well as rheumatism. They have also been used for a wide variety of other ailments, including headache, earache, congestion, menstrual pain, and syphilis. Recent research suggests boldo may protect the liver from toxins, stimulate the gallbladder, and reduce inflammation. 1–4
What Is Boldo Used for Today?
Germany's Commission E has approved boldo for "spastic gastrointestinal complaints and dyspepsia." 5Dyspepsia is a rather vague term that corresponds to the common word "indigestion," indicating a wide variety of digestive problems including stomach discomfort, lack of appetite, and nausea.
In Europe, dyspepsia is commonly attributed to inadequate flow of bile from the gallbladder. Although this connection has not been proven, boldo has been used as a treatment for dyspepsia based on how it affects the gallbladder. Boldo does not seem to increase bile production, but it may cause gallbladder contraction. 6,7,8
Boldo taken alone has not been well evaluated as a treatment for dyspepsia; however, a combination herbal treatment containing boldo (along with other herbs thought to stimulate the gallbladder) has been studied. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial , 60 people given either an artichoke leaf/boldo/celandine combination or placebo found improvements in symptoms of indigestion after 14 days of treatment. 9 How this combination might be effective for treating dyspepsia is unclear.
Note: Celandine may present significant risk of liver toxicity. 10,11,12
Studies on animals have found that boldo may have some ability to protect the liver from toxins, 13,14,15 perhaps due to the antioxidant effects of a boldo constituent called boldine. 16,17,18
Boldo also has anti-inflammatory properties, 19,20,21 and, in addition, may act as a laxative . 22 Finally the essential oils found in boldo have antimicrobial properties; 23 this is true of many essential oils, however, and does not indicate that boldo can act as an antibiotic.
Germany's Commission E recommends 3 g of the dried leaf or its equivalent per day for digestive complaints.
Safety Issues
Although comprehensive safety studies have not been completed, boldo leaf appears to be safe at normal doses. No side effects were reported in any of the animal studies . However, the plant's essential oils are very toxic and can cause kidney damage if taken in purified form, or if very large amounts of the leaf are ingested. The safety of long-term use is also questionable.
Individuals with gallstones should only take boldo under a physician's supervision due to the risk of gallstones being expelled and becoming lodged in a bile duct or the intestines. Those with obstruction of the bile ducts should not use boldo at all, due to the risk of rupture.
Warning: Animal studies suggest that boldo can cause birth defects and spontaneous abortion. For this reason, pregnant women should not use boldo. 24 Safety in nursing women, young children, and individuals with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

Hail to the R3D$K!N$?
Obama weighs in on controversy
By attorney Corey Donaldson, Special to THELAW.TV
When recently asked about the name "Redskins" used by the NFL franchise located in the Washington, D.C., area, President Barack Obama chose his words very carefully: "If I were the owner of the team and I knew that there was a name of my team -- even if it had a storied history -- that was offending a sizable group of people, I'd think about changing it." In response, Dan Snyder, the owner of the franchise, was much more direct: "We'll never change the name. It's that simple. NEVER -- you can use caps."
Although recently making headlines, the Redskins controversy has spanned decades. Pro Football, Inc., the owner of the "Redskins" trademarks, has federally registered six such marks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The first legal challenge of note to the trademarks occurred more than 20 years ago in 1992, when in Harjo v. Pro Football, Inc. a group of Native Americans filed an action with the USPTO to cancel the trademark registrations. Under Section 2(a) of the Lanham Act, the law governing federal registration of trademarks, a mark is unregistrable if it contains "matter which may disparage (persons) or bring them into contempt, or disrepute." The group of Native Americans was successful in its challenge before the USPTO, only to have a district court reverse the decision and allow the registrations to remain valid.
Now, two more challenges to the "Redskins" trademarks exist: one before the USPTO, and one before Congress:
Blackhorse v. Pro Football, Inc.
The plaintiffs in Blackhorse v. Pro Football, Inc. are seeking to cancel the "Redskins" registrations on essentially the same grounds as those presented in Harjo. Why might the plaintiffs here ultimately be more successful than those in Harjo? One ground upon which the district court based its decision was laches, essentially stating that the Harjo plaintiffs had waited too long after turning 18 to bring their claims. The Blackhorse plaintiffs were all between the ages of 18 and 24 upon filing, and thus the laches defense will likely not apply.
That does not, however, mean that the Blackhorse plaintiffs have an easy road ahead of them. In addition to the laches ruling, the district court also held that the evidence before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (the USPTO forum for cancellation proceedings) was insufficient. Further, acquiring enough evidence may be difficult since the Blackhorse plaintiffs must prove that the term "redskins" was disparaging to a "substantial composite" of Native Americans. Second, the "disparagement" section of the Lanham Act appears in Section 2(a) of the Act, which addresses registration, and not in Section 14, which addresses cancellation. While most grounds for cancellation under Section 14 address the meaning of a mark "at any time," cancellation based on disparagement under Section 2(a) requires proving disparagement at the time of registration -- or between 1967 and 1990. Finding and presenting enough evidence from over two decades ago may prove to be difficult.
The Non-Disparagement of Native American Persons or Peoples in Trademark Registration Act of 2013
The second challenge to the "Redskins" trademarks will require votes instead of evidence. Under the proposed Non-Disparagement of Native American Persons or Peoples in Trademark Registration Act of 2013, introduced on March 20, 2013, by Rep. Eni Faleomavaega (D – American Samoa), no mark containing the word "redskin" or any derivation thereof would be registrable under Section 2(a) if it is used in connection with Native Americans. Further, and perhaps more applicable to the current "Redskins" trademarks, such trademarks would be subject to cancellation if already registered. While the bill is still in its infancy, if passed in its current form the "Redskins" trademarks would presumably be canceled very soon thereafter.
No more 'Redskins' registrations – What next?
Even if the "Redskins" trademark registrations are eventually canceled through the USPTO, the courts, or Congress, significant questions would remain. Forbes recently valued the Redskins "brand" at $145 million, a significant part of which likely comes from its federally registered trademarks. Stripping these trademarks of their federal registration would likely severely diminish their value, as enforcement of the rights associated with the marks would become much more difficult. Would such a diminishment constitute a constitutional regulatory government taking, meaning that the NFL franchise would be entitled to just compensation? Whether or not intellectual property, and specifically trademarks, are covered under the Takings Clause of the Constitution is unclear. Another lingering issue: even if the federal registrations of the "Redskins" trademarks are canceled, under current jurisprudence the NFL franchise would still have common law trademark rights. Would courts continue to hold these trademarks to be enforceable? Alternatively, would courts begin to rule against enforcing these marks on public policy grounds, taking a hint from a TTAB or court ruling and/or the Non-Disparagement Act? That being said, these questions will remain moot unless the Blackhorse plaintiffs or Rep. Faleomavaega are successful, since Dan Snyder has already let everybody know when he will voluntarily change the "Redskins" name: N-E-V-E-R.
