Add CommentDear colleagues & friends,
the First World Congress on Ultrasound in Medical Education sponsored by The Society of Ultrasound in Medical Education and WINFOCUS is being hosted by the University of South Carolina School of Medicine April 29 –May 1, 2011 at the Columbia Convention. This is also a Congress to introduce the novice to ultrasound and serve as their starting point to future utilization. The Congress program will include state-of-the-art plenary sessions, concurrent sessions, expert panel presentations, abstract and poster presentations, hands-on ultrasound workshops, industry exhibits, AMA PRA Category 1 Credits and social activities/networking.
Within the frame of the Winfocus UNITED & ILC global initiatives, the congress will be also a milestone for clinical ultrasound history, aiming to address worldwide consensus, evidences, best practices, and standards in education, by the establishment of the “International Liaison Committee on UltraSound in Medical Education” (ILC USMED). By the next 2 years such a committee, seeking partnership with the major International & National universities, institutions, societies, hospitals, services, departments committed to education in ultrasound and health care, will develop the “First International Consensus Conference on UltraSound in Medical Education“. Results will be integrated and harmonized with those ones coming by other International committes, for a comprehensive empowerment of technical, clinical, educational and organizational ultrasound standards [see “Development of evidence-based clinical recommendations and consensus statements in critical ultrasound field: why and how?“].

Please join us for what could become an historic event for medical education and the role ultrasound will play in medical education and the practice of medicine.

Winfocus, Elected PresidentFielding A Moral Dilemma: Jewish Values and the 2008 Farm Bill
From FoFPL Melissa Boteach at Jewish Council for Public Affairs:
Last week, both the House and Senate passed the 2008 Farm Bill by veto-proof majorities. Although a procedural kink will delay votes to override the President’s veto until early June, passage seems within reach for a bill that has caused anti-hunger advocates their share of headaches over the past year-and-a-half.
However, apart from legislation-induced migraines, domestic anti-hunger advocates have much to smile about. After 18 months of organizing, advocating and mobilizing on behalf of nutrition programs, the bill that passed both chambers last week includes a robust nutrition title with significant improvements to Food Stamp funding and access, emergency food assistance, and other anti-hunger programs.
The Farm Bill is admittedly imperfect. At a time when food prices are skyrocketing, it continues a system of payments to American farmers that distort world trade, contribute to global poverty, and frankly, just don’t make much policy sense. In a year that many faith advocates hoped would be a turning point in reforming our nation’s agriculture policy, the Farm Bill’s commodity subsidies did not undergo substantial change.
The same, however, cannot be said of the Jewish community. The activism on behalf of the 2008 Farm Bill can be seen as a transformative moment in Jewish communal efforts on hunger and poverty, a spark that kicked into gear a powerful movement to “Speak up, judge righteously, champion the poor and the needy” (Proverbs 31:9).
In a year when critics are slamming the Farm Bill for its deference to corporate special interests, little has been written of the massive grassroots mobilization effort by the Jewish community to advocate, agitate and educate on the inadequacy of the Food Stamp Benefit and the need for increased emergency food assistance.
Last September, The Jewish Council for Public Affairs led hundreds of Jews in over 30 communities nationwide in taking the “Food Stamp Challenge”, where participants lived on $1/meal for a week to show the inadequacy of the Food Stamp program and prove the nutritional deficiencies of such a diet. Jewish agencies and communities built interfaith coalitions and recruited faith, civic and political leaders to take the Food Stamp Challenge with them. We were joined by four members of Congress from different faiths, including Representatives Keith Ellison, Raul Grijalva, Chris Van Hollen and Jim Cooper. Participants forged new partnerships and created new mobilizing structures that ultimately secured the strongest possible nutrition title in a tight budget year.
Many of our friends in the faith community could not join us in supporting this bill. I agree that more could have been done to reform subsidies to large farming interests that constitute a hefty part of the Farm Bill’s spending, and I am certainly not writing to issue a blanket endorsement of every provision in the bill. However, I respectfully depart from many of my colleagues on the need to speak out in favor of the bill, despite its flaws.
When 73 percent of the bill’s total funding and almost all of the new money invested in the legislation is directed toward nutrition programs, I must conclude that the benefits in this complex and morally awkward legislation far outweigh the costs.
couldn't have been put better. I'm ecstatic to see the Jewish community engaging in these national anti-poverty initiatives. Way to step up to the plate.

Lending Limits
According to Fannie Mae, an investor is allowed to take only up to 10 loans once. So, working with the right lender should be your priority as he will help you make the best out of your 10-loan limit. It's worth noting that bigger banks or financing institutions will allow only up to four business loans for rental property. Do extensive research to reach a lender that can support 10-loan limit.
Investor-Friendly Lender
Buying a rental home is a long-term investment and your lender is a BIG part of the entire scenario. Make sure you team up with a strong and reliable lender who understands the real estate landscape. Work with a direct lender if you are planning to build a strong portfolio of rental properties. The one primary difference between a broker and a lender is that a broker will shop around to get you the best deal, whereas a lender is the institution from where you will get the loan. Don't hesitate to ask your prospective lender about his current active investors and how many business loans for rental property can he offer and more.
Credit Requirements
Since, there is a 10-loan limit, there is different credit qualification guidelines. For properties 1-4, your credit score should be around 630 and for properties 5-10 at least 720 credit score is required.
Cash Reserves
Besides down payment, make sure you have enough cash reserves that can match at least six months of mortgage payments of your business loans for rental property. Once you know the cost estimate of the rental, get a monthly payment estimate from your lender so that you can manage your expenditures and savings accordingly.
Down Payment
Just like there are two sets of credit score guidelines, for down payments you need to follow different guidelines. If you acquire business loans for rental property 1-4 for single family you are liable to pay 20% as down payment, for loans 5-10, it would be 25% and for loans
