Problem:UV material shows up black in 3d view

:confused:
So as i’m working on UV textures in the Image Editor the mesh in the 3d-view all of a sudden turned black on me. I am looking at it in the textured mode and my default material color is even white. Can someone explain why the mesh seems to be receiving no light or showing up black. its really irritating having to flip back between texturing and rendering
