"Once we get all the information out, we will solicit comments and the public will be free to provide comments," Sundlof says. "Once we do that, we will go out with a final risk-assessment document. This will say, 'Based on the risks we have identified, here is how we would consider managing any of those risks.' It may be same as traditional foods, or it may be greater if we determine there are hazards that require regulatory oversight."
Will Clone for Food
Today's method of animal cloning has only been around since 1996. It involves a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer, in which genetic information from one animal is inserted into an egg that has had its nucleus removed. The resulting embryo is implanted into a surrogate mother, which carries the fetus to birth. Dolly the sheep -- who passed away in February 2003 -- was created in 1996 using this technology.
In the U.S., several hundred cattle have been cloned, says rancher and veterinarian Donald Coover, DVM, of Galesburg, Kan. Cloned pigs, goats, and sheep may join them some day on America's dinner table.
Five of the cattle clones were described as "normal and healthy as any calves I've ever raised," says Coover in an FDA news release. The calves, born in 2001, will soon be ready to propagate herds of high-quality beef cattle.
"Clones are biological copies of normal animals," Larisa Rudenko, PhD, a molecular biologist and risk assessor in the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, says in a news release. "In theory, they're pretty close to identical twins of an adult animal."
Indeed, over the last two years, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has found that food products derived from animal clones and their offspring are likely to be as safe as food from their nonclone counterparts.
The NAS found that healthy adult animal clones are virtually indistinguishable from "normal" animals, based on the evidence available.
It's unlikely that you will eat a cloned animal anytime soon. At a cost of $20,000 each to produce, clones are used for breeding -- not for food. But some scientists and farmers are looking at the descendants of cloned cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep as potential sources for food and clothing, if the FDA gives the OK.

Splash launches 'Eye on Design' – its largest proposition ever!
Splash launches 'Eye on Design' – its largest proposition ever!
Find out why it's more than a campaign tagline
Autumn Winter 2008 (AW08) marks a significant leap in Splash's brand story. It is the season when Splash is set to make its largest proposition with a campaign that is sure to invite opinion and grab eyeballs: Eye on Design. Incidentally, it is a statement that brings with it an evolution in the business' entire philosophy and a promise that Splash is geared to live up to.
Splash's new campaign has images of the model, dressed in 'fashion forward' creations from Splash's AW08 Collection, and a Splash Barcode Bag on the head. The campaign associates Splash directly with design, with the bag concealing the model's head to ensure that it doesn't distract the viewer from the design of the garment. It also challenges the notion that fashion brands need a celebrity endorser to establish credibility and top of mind recall. Splash will reinforce its symbolic barcode pneumonic in future communication to create recall for the brand.
This AW08 collection was put together over several months, with painstaking attention paid towards details. Raza Beig, the CEO-Splash traveled to all major fashion weeks with the team of designers, stylists and buyers to map dominant trends for the season. The team's observations were backed by further research to create mood-boards reflecting benchmarks on the key 'looks' for the season. The mood-boards in turn guided the designers in creating a collection that is specific to the GCC region. The result is a collection with pieces that reflect global fashion trends. The garments resemble 'couture' pieces which will be retailed out of Splash stores, at a steal.
Speaking about the evolving product Raza Beig said, "The GCC has matured as a region, and the shoppers are increasingly fashion savvy. Spending patterns in the region and consumer behaviour show that shoppers want to buy trendy merchandize at value. Recognizing this pattern Splash is focused on creating collections with more pieces that have a higher style quotient, while keeping its merchandize affordable for the masses through an import model, and thus delivering true value."
With growing disposable income the mid-segment of the market couture brands are also making a conscious effort to create high-street sub-brands that cater to the masses. This marks an extension of brands which cater to the top of the pyramid to the mid-segment.
While talking about the Creative Director of the creator's of the campaign, The Classic Partnership Advertising, John Mani explained, "The "Eye on Design" campaign symbolizes what the new vision of Splash for the future is.
The striking visual of the model's face being covered depicts a change
in focus to design. Emphasis on detail and styles will be the highlight of this new attitude. Splash yet again will set the trend for fashion in the region."
In a bid to cater to this section of the mid-segment which aspires to be fashion forward, but seeks value for money, Splash has defined a progression towards 'designed' pieces which take after 'looks' showcased across global runways. Splash will continue to stock its staples which its customers have grown to love, and spice up its collections to keep them coming back to grab fresh fashion at throw away prices!

Buying a Nikon TC-1.4 II w/o a U.S. Warranty ?

Buying a Nikon TC-1.4 II w/o a U.S. Warranty ?
I was going to buy the Nikon 1.4TC and saw that a reputable store has the imported version for $100 less than the one with the U.S. warranty. While I would never buy a regular lens or a camera w/o the U.S. warranty, I would think that at TC is much simpler and more reliable. Also Nikon only offers a 1 year warranty on the TC's.
Any thoughts?

Michele Bachmann used Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac for her home loan
Bachmann says one thing in public in, and does another in private.
Michele Bachmann used federally backed home loans from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac just weeks before she denounced those programs and called for them to be dismantled, according to the Washington Post.
Experts who reviewed the home loans filed by Michele and Marcus Bachmann in 2008 on their gigantic new $760,000 home told the Post they are confident the Bachmanns' move came from the exact same programs she wanted shut down.
The $417,000 loan, which was the exact maximum offered by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at the time, would've come with lower interest rates because those loans are ostensibly backed-up by the government.
In a 2008 House Financial Services Committee hearing, Bachmann pushed a Republican proposal that "breaks up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- who are, after all, at the heart of all of this."
According to the Post, the Bachmanns' new home is a lavish spot that they scooped up on the cheap after a former pro football player joined millions of Americans in foreclosure.
Their golf-course home was custom built with a panelled library, spa, and wine cellar for former NFL player Ross Verba in 2005. Verba faced foreclosure after sinking more than $2 million into the property, court and mortgage records show. He originally listed the home for $1.75 million in 2007.
Instead, Bachmann -- who lists her assets at less than $2 million -- got the house for the bargain-basement price of $760,000, financing $699,000 of it. The Bachmanns signed papers to purchase the home on August 29, 2008.
On September 24, 2008, as the housing market crashed all around her and the banks went belly up, Bachmann offered yet another great moment in hypocrisy, announcing her support for a GOP plan:
"It breaks up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- who are, after all, at the heart of all of this -- so that the encumbered taxpayer no longer backs them -- implicitly or explicitly -- and so that they do not artificially grow larger than the market will allow."
That's not the only time she's hammered at the two loan-backers. In February 2010, Bachmann was a cosponsor of the "Accurate Accounting of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Act," which called for increased transparency in the loan agencies.
"The Accurate Accounting of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Act is a much needed remedy for a Washington that needs to come to terms with their spending addiction. One thing we know about Fannie and Freddie is that they cost the already overburdened and financially strapped taxpayer a pretty penny.
"Why should Fannie and Freddie be able to run up these numbers without the President having to reflect this risk in his budget? It just doesn't make sense, and we owe it to the taxpayers to be transparent and forthcoming on the commitments we're making with their credit card."
We've got your increased transparency right here, Michele. It looks like some of the "strapped taxpayers" pretty penny helped Michele and Marcus enjoy the golf course, the spa, and the wine cellar.
This news means Bachmann officially does everything she hates.
She's against government subsidy, but takes it at her farmland and her husband's clinic; she's against Fannie and Freddie, but uses them to finance her own home loan; she's against homosexuality, but she's married to -- well, you get the point.

Asylum seekers in the United Kingdom can search for a legal aid solicitor on the Law Society's website.
You can check your eligibility for legal aid here.
Click here to see the numbers and origins of refugees hosted by United Kingdom.
As UNHCR statistics generally rely on data from host countries, statistics on refugees alone can give an insufficient account of refugee numbers, as some host countries will not grant refugee status to certain groups. Including statistics for individuals in refugee-like situations is an attempt to account for unrecognised refugees and does not include internally displaced persons. Statistics for stateless refugees are included if available.
Legal aid is available for legal advice to anyone living in the UK or abroad who qualifies financially. For representation in court, legal aid is more restricted and is granted only if a case has more than a 50% chance of success.
The legal adviser will provide the applicant with a form to be completed and will carry out a detailed assessment of his means. The only documents required are the applicant's most recent bank statement and payslip.
If these are unavailable, a letter from the person who is supporting the applicant and stating his monthly income is sufficient. In exceptional circumstances, it is possible to grant legal aid even in absence of evidence of income (for example if a refugee is employed but paid in cash and has no bank account, or if he is in immigration detention). The applicant will also need to return the original signed form to the lawyer.

Justice First Limited was established in 2006 to work with people in the Tees Valley who are seeking asylum. Our core activity is to assist people whose appeals have been rejected to re-engage with the legal system and to avoid destitution. When an appeal is turned down financial support is withdrawn and the asylum seeker is faced with the bleak alternatives of accepting deportation or 'going underground.' Justice First seeks to help people remain within the legal framework of our country and to advise on the further options available. It also seeks to provide for the needs of our clients by offering social, emotional and practical support and to use our experience and accumulated knowledge to influence and recommend improvements in the asylum system, locally, regionally and nationally. Most recently, we have recognised the need to compile information about those returned to danger and our report, 'Unsafe Return' documents the experiences of returnees to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This can be found on our website. We also aim to raise awareness of the plight of those seeking asylum by visits to schools, churches and community organisations.

Medical Justice works predominantly with people being held in detention. They challenge instances of medical evidence produced by qualified medics being ignored by the UK Home office and immigration courts; challenge instances of medical findings by unqualified Home Office officials and immigration judges; and write medical legal reports. Referrals generally come to Medical Justice when all else has failed; the detainee's legal representative cannot get legal aid funding to progress a case or finance a medical report, or has simply not attempted to get a medical report. They deal with medical abuse in detention, including denial of medication and treatment, access to hospital, testing and test results. They assess detainees' injuries after an assault by guards in the detention centre, or in transit to other places of detention, or an airport.
Medical Justice challenges the almost inevitable and detrimental gap between the negotiated policy change and how immigration detainees are actually treated in practice. The bulk of Medical Justice's work is getting the Home Office to implement its own policies. They have groups in Oxford, London and Kent.

FESTIVALS: MIPDOC where TV Documentaries and Mimosas Mix
by Michael Lee
A week of Moet mimosas, free French food, stacks of business cards, always in sight of the beach but seldom actually on it. . .
484 booths, 2,389 exhibiting companies, 2,649 buyers, from 97 countries, and a total of almost 11,000 participants, and above all, a price tag of more than $2,000 per company (up to 3 people) for attendance -- the printout stats I'm reading on the Friday evening flight from Prague to Cannes make me salivate and panic all at once.
MIPTV (which runs April 12-16) is maybe the biggest TV conference in the world, certainly the biggest in Europe. The immense numbers almost disguise the true nature of this convention -- it could be a gathering for makers of paper products.
But it's not. Nearly every TV station and distributor in the world is coming -- their buyers, and main development execs, no longer locked in high offices defended by assistants who route all calls and e-mail. Here they will be, raw, naked, available, walking and talking and who knows what else right in front of me.
I'm registered as press. But my real concern is finding backing for my doc-in-progress. Luckily, this is also my indieWIRE assignment: to explore the feasibility of working MIP as an extreme independent, a total outsider.
How extreme? I'm working on my first full-length doc, about poor Zulu musicians in a squat in Durban, South Africa, which is being renovated to become a functioning black cultural center. The renovations began in January, and I was forced to start shooting on DV without backing, scrambling for donations of equipment, phones, etc. Still unfunded, I need to go back this summer to shoot more. In a world of year-long turnovers, the position's untenable. Worse, I live in Prague, not exactly the center of financial coproduction. And my company, trafika films, has been officially founded just for this trip -- e-mail address signed up on Yahoo yesterday morning, business cards and letterhead printed today at Copy General just hours before this flight. No office, no staff, no bank account. . . but it does have US non-profit status.
I don't know or like business; I'm a novice waiting to happen. Call me a moron, but I didn't KNOW you were supposed to set up your meetings months beforehand, and since I didn't even know MIP existed until late March, it wouldn't have mattered if I did. Anyway, I just got back from Africa a few weeks ago and am still sorting through the tapes, so I've scrapped my old proposals and haven't managed new ones yet, much less selection of sample clips and music. After the biz cards, I spend my last couple hours in Prague taking snapshots of frames off the television.
No money. I wouldn't even be able to stay here where closet-size rooms cost nearly a hundred dollars a night, if I didn't have a friend with a hotel room. Pretty much, I have nothing backing me. Except: my story. I think it's a good one, and others have agreed. And I hear it repeatedly over the next few days, shockingly, more here in the heart of the biz than I've ever heard it before: "This is an IDEA business. Presentation, background, finance matter. But the MAIN thing is your story." It helps that it's a doc. Someone slogging fiction would be totally sunk in my position.
MIPDOC didn't exist at all two years ago. Docs were lumped in to drown along with everything else. Now they're the launching pad, the whole opening weekend. I'll be here five days in all, the two of MIPDOC, the first three out of five of MIPTV. In my bag is Guy Debord's "Society of the Spectacle," the basic French situationist text, my own private joke, my talisman against the media monster.
When we arrive, it's still quiet around the Croisette. A glance through the windows of the Palais des Festivals reveals a corporatescape that looks more like the aftermath of a manic conference than one about to start: half-built walls, broken boxes, piles of wrappers. . . . Despite the enormous Warner Bros banner over the exterior staircases, MIP seems almost as badly prepared as I am.
Here's why: the Palais doesn't open til Monday. MIPDOC is held entirely in the Hotel Martinez, a ten minute beachfront walk away.
The Martinez is a wasteland. MIPDOC is mainly a screening program for buyers -- several rooms of video booths exclusively for them. Polite MIP officials keep track of each doc checked out so sellers can efficiently, scientifically follow up. Press is, sorry, not permitted.
I check in: they take my photo, give me a badge and a canvas shoulderbag stuffed with MIPDOC info. For the extreme independent, the thick MIPDOC guide is alone worth the trip. It lists every participant -- meaning nearly every TV station in the world, and hundreds of other important outlets which show, buy, sell, produce, finance, etc, docs, along with the names of key acquisitions and co-production execs, and their contacts at home and here, in many cases even listing their hotel. In the hundreds of full-color pages that follow, every doc on offer is described, so I can even see what distributors might be interested in my project.
Today there is one worthwhile event: the "Channels Speak Out" symposium, in which several heads of non-fic programming give a rundown on what they're buying. It's very specific to these four stations: History UK prefers 3 or 5 part series, WGBH one-offs, etc. None want my kind of project. The clearest unified message is: it's best to get support up front: Finland's TV station, YLE, for instance, will co-produce for a third of the total budget, but none of the participating buyers pays more than $5,000 an hour for a finished doc.
Free juice, croissants, and coffee before today's Bourse Aux Coproductions, in which producers of 5 very different docs and series pitch their projects to a panel of experts. Two of these experts dominate the talk: Anna Glogowsky, deputy head of docs at France's CANAL+, and Chris Haws of Discovery. I read about Haws last night, in one of my stacks of info. He recently spearheaded a project at Discovery to nurture first-time doc makers. The first cycle of that project focused on South Africa.
As soon as the panel is over, I'm up and by Haws. He asks about my story, then quickly cuts me off. "The person you should talk to is across the room." He stands and leads me to her, the new doc head of a private station in South Africa, and introduces me with the words: "Meet someone who'll be making one of your next shows." Thanks, Chris.
We exchange cards practically before handshakes -- a common practice here. She's friendly, but tired, asks what my doc is about but only half-listens. "I'm not in pitch mode," she says with a just-off-the airplane smile. We make plans to meet Tuesday at noon, at the coffee bar by the Channel 4 booth. She's a bit pessimistic; she doesn't like arts docs. But it helps that she knows my Associate Producer in South Africa. Later, I ask Haws quickly if I can drop off a page for him to look at and offer advice; he says he'd be glad to.
Then I'm standing by Glogowski, who's telling me about the doc she made in the 70's in a hospital in Mozambique. I'm fighting myself to listen and learn, not to play my cards too soon. To experience these people as people at the same time as you're doing business is a skill I'm not adept at yet.
I see Glogowski again at the CANAL+ press luncheon. The Carlton Hotel, they say, has the best food in Cannes, and we're served it seated, by waiters, in courses, separate wines for each, as the programming heads of CANAL+ stations in seven different countries outline the differences in their doc policies. Purchasing for each station is totally separate. There are a few similarities: no CANAL+ station buys series, programming must be exclusive in each territory, they show the director's edit, not their own, and only Italy buys shows with a host. This last is common practice in all of Europe, I soon learn: stations here scorn the US style of docs with hosts. Even onscreen interviews are becoming anathema in Europe, with most stations allowing no more than 10% of screentime for "talking heads."
I'm next to the head of programming of CANAL+ Spain and across from CANAL+ Nordic, who I just had a mimosa with, along with his friend Carole, the charming Belgian international programs buyer from the Paris branch. Also here is a publisher of a Spanish TV news journal, who by the end of the meal offers me a job as an editor in Madrid. And, most importantly, Marianne, organizer of the conferences within the conference (such as the Bourse this morning), who will turn out to be an excellent guide, advisor, and friend.
After lunch, I chat with Andrew Solomon, head of DOCSTAR, the international coproduction, financing, and distribution arm of CANAL+, the real money man. I describe my assignment: a filmmaker posing as a journalist in order to be a journalist posing as a filmmaker: my dual passport intrigues him, as it will others. He's heard of indieWIRE and wants its readers to feel free to approach DOCSTAR with their stories. "For coproduction, there are five main things we focus on. Natural history. People and animals. Biography. Long shelf life. International appeal." (Contact DOCSTAR by fax at 33 1 44 25 15 20).
To avoid tomorrow's crush, I go to sign up for MIP: another photo, badge, bag, catalogue, twice as thick but not as useful for my purposes; I end up barely opening it. This bag's also full of toys: playing cards, a yo yo, a Batman frisbee, a plastic skeleton. I give them away to street kids.
In case my head got too big at lunch, the night's MIPDOC closing party, sponsored by PBS, reminds me how small I am. Amid popping corks, flight paths of gourmet hors d'oeuvre trays, and spinning "MIPDOC" projections, the network premieres its upcoming EMPIRE series with a flashy Greece sequence that might have been shot for IMAX. Most of the conversation I have is flat and leads nowhere. From the badges, it's clear this is as much a pre-party for MIP as a closing of MIPDOC, and worse, that most of these hundreds of people already know each other. I just carry on with the mimosas.
I do manage to meet Bruce, a doc producer and distributor from Australia. With his lapel pins and bright ties and aggressive but stylish gluttony, Bruce has the enthusiasm of a parallel novice, but he's actually been coming here for years. I've found another ally: a real person with heart who loves the business as much as the art. He tells me about his recent projects in Russia and Romania as we adjourn to Vesuvio, his and maybe MIP's favorite Italian restaurant, packed to the rafters and owned by the same waiters serving you.
Back home, I type, fast. I have to finish my proposal.
They typed faster. Newsletter, MIPDOC: 347 buyers from 173 companies in 56 countries watched 1,087 programs from 217 companies in a total of 8,062 private screenings: an average of 23 per buyer. The two biggest watchers were from Discovery; both watched over 100 programs in the 20 hours the cabinets were open.
Said Rick Rodriguez, the second name on the list, to a friend of mine, "You have to remember, I have 8 screens in my office, running all the time." And I feel utterly tiny again.
Luckily, free press breakfasts have begun courtesy of the History Channel. Unfortunately, they've left out the mimosas.
[Part II of Michael Lee's adventures at MIP run tomorrow in indieWIRE where he enters MIPTV, meets with Dutch, French and South African broadcasters, and drinks more mimosas.]

In the span of 20 minutes, radiologists can now treat some breast cancer patients more effectively than ever before.
Packing a fine beam of radiation at a specific spot in the breast, a new treatment has replaced what previously had taken six or seven weeks. Patients are spared weeks of pain, discomfort, burning and dead tissue.
Early results indicate it's working.
In March, Community Health Network became the first hospital in central Indiana to offer intraoperative radiation therapy for breast cancer patients. The new technique in treating the disease allows for a single dose of radiation to be given at the time of surgery, rather than for weeks afterward.
At a glance
What is intraoperative radiation therapy?
A radiation treatment that replaces the routine treatment, which requires up to six weeks of daily radiation for women with early detected breast cancer.
How does it work?
Patients receive a single 20- to 30-minute dose of targeted radiation after surgery directly in the area where their tumor was. Radiologists can position the beam while the surgical wound is open, meaning the radiation hits only the tissue where cancer cells still may be present.
Who is eligible to receive it?
Women who:
With 30 women treated so far, surgeons and radiologists are seeing faster healing times, no burns and a more effective treatment.
"It fits along with our goals to make all treatments more targeted, more specific," said Dr. Chace Lottich, a breast surgeon for Community Breast Care in Greenwood. "The goal at the end of treatment is to make the patient feel good enough to return to normal life. This speeds up that process."
Intraoperative radiation therapy works by sending a focused beam into the precise area cancer is removed. After a breast surgeon has cut out the tumor and surrounding tissue, the radiation applicator is set inside the breast.
A rim of tissue surrounds the applicator, meaning that the only tissue that receives radiation is that which was closest to the cancer, said Dr. Erin Zusan, a breast surgeon with Community Breast Care.
"There are fewer side effects because you're radiating less tissue," she said.
Traditional radiation treatment, in which machinery aims a wide beam of radioactive particles at the entire breast, can leave women with scarring, burns and nerve damage. While the cancerous cells are killed, healthy tissue also is damaged.
The particles can continue to kill breast tissue three years after treatment is done, Lottich said.
Traditional radiation also takes longer. Because it is not as targeted, patients are required to come for 30 to 35 sessions lasting almost two months.
"From a patient's perspective, (intraoperative radiation therapy) is more convenient. They don't have to keep coming back for treatment. Ideally, it's over in one session," Zusan said.
The method has been used in the United States since 2000. Community Health bought the intraoperative radiation therapy equipment late last year, and bioengineers have been assembling the components since.
Community's South, North and East hospitals all have been equipped to provide the therapy.
For the 30 central Indiana women who have had the procedure done as of the end of August, the results have been positive, Lottich said. All have recovered as quickly as women going through traditional surgery and radiation, and many have healed more quickly.
Donna Hacker was the third woman to have intraoperative radiation therapy with Community. Her surgery and radiation was in mid-March.
She opted for the new procedure because it was more convenient.
"I live in Franklin and work in Columbus, so going to radiation every day was going to be pretty hard to do. Of course, I wanted to save my life, and that's a lot to try and fit in," she said.
Four months after the treatment, Hacker was fully recovered and cancer-free. She never developed any kind of burns or rashes with the radiation. Her doctors have said that the tissue of her right breast is healthy, showing no further sign of damage.
"It was so much simpler than what I could have gone through. And I've been told the success rate is the same in the trials they've done, so that's encouraging," she said.
Research is ongoing to determine just how effective the procedure is on different types and sizes of cancer, Lottich said.
The clinical trials showed the therapy most effective on women who are older than 45 and who had tumors that are smaller than a paper clip. The cancer must be restricted to one spot in the breast and must be located in a breast duct, Lottich said.
But research from a worldwide study conducted in nine countries has shown that the therapy is as effective as traditional radiation, without some of the side effects, Lottich said.
More hospitals are using the technique as well, which will increase understanding of how well it works. Lottich and other Community surgeons have traveled to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., to teach doctors how to use the intraoperative radiation therapy equipment and might do the same for other hospitals in the Midwest.
Because the therapy is new, many women have never heard of it when they come for their initial surgical session, Lottich said. But as more and more people receive it locally, she expects more patients to be informed and choose it for themselves.
"We look forward to be able to offer this to more people as the indications and cell type are more applicable to them. That should only get better in time," Lottich said.

Myths & Facts About Ringworm
In this article
When you hear the term "ringworm," do you imagine a collection of tiny worms slithering around on your skin? Then you may have fallen prey to one of the many misconceptions about this common skin condition. In reality, ringworm is far less creepy than the name suggests.
In this article, we'll clear up some of the myths that continue to circulate about ringworm.

Myth 1: Ringworm is caused by a worm
Probably the most pervasive ringworm myth, this one stems from the condition's name. Despite its creepy-crawly name, ringworm (also called tinea) is not caused by any worm. The culprit is actually a group of fungi called dermatophytes, which can cause skin infections. Ringworm gets its name from the distinctive ring-like pattern the red spots often form on the skin.
Myth 2: Ringworm only affects the skin
Although ringworm often does appear on the skin, it can also show up on the fingernails or toenails. Ringworm of the nails doesn't create a ring-like pattern. Instead, it turns the nails thick, yellow, and brittle.
Myth 3: Everyone with ringworm develops red rings on their skin
Some people who are infected do develop the scaly red ring that gives the condition its name -- but not everyone. If you get ringworm infection, you will probably see bumpy red patches around your skin, but they won't necessarily take the shape of rings. On your scalp, ringworm may look more like a flaky red pimple than a ring.
Myth 4: Only children get ringworm
Children are more likely to get certain types of ringworm, but you can get infected with the fungus at any age.
Myth 5: Ringworm isn't contagious
In fact, the opposite is true. Ringworm spreads easily from person to person, especially in communal areas like locker rooms and neighborhood pools. Ringworm is so contagious, in fact, that you don't even have to touch someone to get infected. The fungus can linger in places like locker room floors, as well as on hats, combs, and brushes.
If you share an infected brush or comb, you can develop ringworm of the scalp. The highly contagious nature of the condition is why doctors recommend staying away from anyone who is infected, as well as their personal items.

Estate Law
Estate Law Questions? Ask an Estate Lawyer.
Am I required to pay taxes on a trust fund disbursement that I received?
This can be a little tricky. If the disbursement is from principal, then you are not taxed on it. If it is from income, then you will likely need to pay income tax on it. Generally, when a trust is established for someone, they may be entitled to receive income and/or principal from the trust. The trust has to file a 1041 fiduciary income tax return that reports the distributions made from the trust. There should always be a K-1 from the trust to the beneficiaries reporting the distributions. You, as a beneficiary, use that K-1 when you file you individual 1040 income tax return. The K-1 will show income and/or principal distributed. If you did not get a K-1, then you need to contact the trustee to find out why not. This is critical for you when filing your taxes.So, you may be required to pay income taxes on any income distributions form the trust. If the trustee failed to provide you with a K-1, then you should him or her responsible for any interest or penalties you may incur. But, if the distribution was from trust principal, you should not have to pay any taxes on it.Hope this answers your question.

Gaza Doctor Who Lost Three Kids in IDF Op Tapped for Nobel Prize
Israel-trained doctor said he hoped for regional peace, after home shelled during IDF offensive earlier this year.
Palestinian Dr. Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish, whose three daughters were killed during Israel's offensive on the Gaza Strip earlier this year, has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, Army Radio reported on Monday.
The nomination was announced by Belgium's state secretary, who described al-Aish to the Arabic-language daily A-Sharq Al-Awsat as a "soldier of peace." The doctor has been awarded honorary Belgian citizenship "in recognition of his efforts in service of humanity," said the state secretary.
According to A-Sharq Al-Awsat, Minority Affairs Minister Professor Avishay Braverman has called Dr. Abu al-Aish to congratulate him, calling the nomination a victory for humanity.
Abu al-Aish, a father of eight who was trained in Israel, became one of the symbols of the Gaza offensive after he was broadcast on television immediately after an Israeli shell killed three of his daughters and his niece.
In a report drenched with sobs, al-Aish said he hoped his three daughters would be the last victims of the fighting in Gaza, and that their deaths would help bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
"I want to know why my daughters were harmed. This should haunt (Israeli Ehud Prime Minister) Olmert his entire life," Abu al-Aish said on Israel's Channel 10, speaking through a cell phone in Hebrew as he has throughout the war.
He added that his daughters were "armed only with love."
The IDF shelled the al-Aish home after troops reported having been fired upon by snipers situated in the house adjacent to theirs, according to an IDF investigation.
The troops identified suspicious figures in the upper levels of the doctor's building, and deduced that they were serving as observers, directing the sniper fire from their vantage point.
The Israeli commander on he ground decided to fire tank shells at the building, hitting al-Aish's home and killing three of his daughters.
Abu al-Aish had denied that there were any militants in the building at the time of the shelling, but thanked those responsible for investigating the incident by saying that "we all make mistakes, and we don't repeat them."
"I have two options - the path of darkness or the path of light. The path of darkness is like choosing all the complications with diseases and depression, but the path of light is to focus on the future and my children. This strengthened my conviction to continue on the same path and not to give up," al-Aish said after the release of the investigation's conclusions.
The 55-year-old gynecologist trained in Israeli hospitals and speaks Hebrew.
