Court's decision on Obamacare will have little effect on the inevitable march of socialism in America
The Damage Already Done By Obamacare
By J.D. Longstreet (Bio and Archives) Friday, June 15, 2012 Comments at bottom of page | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us |
What a mess!
Get used to those three words. We are going to hear them rather a great deal in coming months and even years—that is, of course, if the US Supreme Court overturns Obamacare (The so-called Affordable Care Act).
Even if "The Court," in its undefinable depth of wisdom, should manage to scrape up enough courage to overturn only the Health Insurance Mandate for all Americans, the damage already done to America and Americans, is going to be a heck of a surprise to a great deal of taxpayers and, uh, sick people—not to mention the elderly.
Maybe its my built-in paranoia but I suspect the law itself was written with just such a circumstance in mind. See, I believe the blow-back is supposed to hit those tampering with Obamacare right in the face. And, rest assured—it WILL.
Even those of us who scorned Obamacare, right from the beginning, and even BEFORE Obamacare when the Clintons tried to give Americans the bum's rush with "Hillarycare" had little idea of the built-in contempt the authors had for anyone having the temerity to touch their socialist dream of Utopian health care.
The thing (Obamacare) is a booby-trap! Actually, I find the word "Frankenstein" rather more appropriate to describe Obamacare. It actually IS as a monster, which will turn on its creator(s).
The nation's government, your state's government, and YOU personally, are going to be adversely impacted by an overturned Obamacare.
Some private citizens will see an increase in their taxes, if Obamacare is overturned. How?
Well, let me stir you to an article by RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR at Yahoo.health. In the article the author says: "Partially overturning the law could leave hospitals, insurers and other service providers on the hook for tax increases and spending cuts without the law's promise of more paying customers to offset losses." SOURCE:
But how about you, in particular? Well, if you happen to need insurance for a young adult "child" you will still be able to get it—but it is going to cost you. Mr. Alonso-Zaldivar says: "Even if the Supreme Court overturns President Barack Obama's health care law, employers can keep offering popular coverage for the young adult children of their workers.
But here's the catch: The parents' taxes would go up." SOURCE:
Scary? It gets worse.
Here we are in the middle of June 2012 and the US Supreme Court has said it will hand down its ruling on Obamacare sometime this month. It could come at any day now.
So what if the Supreme Court upholds Obamacare? It's not going to be pretty. To simply say "it's complicated" seems like a world class understatement.
Continuing the same article Mr. Alonso-Zaldivar writes: "The nation is so divided that states led by Republicans are largely unprepared to carry out critical requirements such as creating insurance markets. Things may not settle down."
What a mess! (Told you!)
Nobody really knows how our Supreme Court will rule. Many have speculated, based on the testimony before the court, that a ruling against Obamacare and a shutdown of the mandate that individual Americans have health insurance of their own or be fined by the government is the most likely outcome.
I, on the other hand, am not so sure. In fact, if I were a betting man, I'd bet that the Court allows Obamacare to stand—just as it is.
We have a court divided. By that I mean we have a court which has, too often, been described as a "conservative court." It is anything BUT a conservative court. The Justices are split right down the middle with a lone Justice deciding a HUGE percentage of the cases. For evidence consider all the five to four decisions in recent years.
No, I think the court will consider that the US stands practically alone on earth—among the developed countries, at least, as a country not providing a form of national health care to its citizens and they will decide to change that by finding Obamacare, in its entirety, constitutional.
It will make me, personally, very unhappy if they do, but hey—there it is.
I am not a fan of anything that smacks of socialism and Obamacare is a sparkling diamond tiara sitting atop a mound of rotting socialist agenda corpses. Plainly put—I hate socialized medicine. I hate the very idea of it.
Obamacare is a symptom of just how low America has sunk. Since the days of the FDR Administration, Americans have been indoctrinated in favor of socialism. Our youth have been taught to "settle," or "compromise," and choose something less that the best. Individualism has been shamed out of the last two American generations and they have been molded, formed, into the apparatchiks of the state in much the same way the communist countries of Europe and Asia did it to their young—incrementally—a tiny bit at the time over decades.
It worked. And they are not done yet.
Even if Obamacare is overturned by the Supreme Court the overall socialist agenda for America will be only slightly slowed. Its mat-like tentacles are woven deep into the fabric of America's youth. For them, socialism is preferable to capitalism and democracy—and FREEDOM. They have been indoctrinated in America's pubic education system that socialism IS the American Way.
For their generation the end has already been written. They lose. Everything.
Looking at America today, we are only getting a taste of what awaits us in the near future. Believe me, Obamacare is only a tiny, tiny, portion of the
government takeover of the American citizen's life.
In the long run, the Court's decision on Obamacare will have little effect on the inevitable march of socialism in America.

There're a few threads where people say that inspite of priorities issues or longiness of the lists their @Work lists at least beeing done. But their @Home lists are usually stuck. I think I know why it happens.
We usually put different projects on our lists. These projects are assosiated with work. Work - something that one is doing, making, or performing, especially as an occupation or undertaking; a duty or task. On the other hand when we get home we are supposed to have rest. Rest - relaxation from exertion or labour. What happens when we open our action list at home is our brain assumes we continue to work when we supposed to relax. Is there a way out?
A few ways I think could work:
1. Set aside a time for working your @Home action lists (working time);
2. or Set aside time for relaxing when you do not open your @Home action lists.
Any ideas?

Results-Oriented Cultures:
Creating a Clear Linkage between Individual Performance and Organizational Success
GAO-03-488, Mar 14, 2003

The federal government is in a period of profound transition and faces an array of challenges and opportunities to enhance performance, ensure accountability, and position the nation for the future. High-performing organizations have found that to successfully transform themselves, they must often fundamentally change their cultures so that they are more results-oriented, customer-focused, and collaborative in nature. To foster such cultures, these organizations recognize that an effective performance management system can be a strategic tool to drive internal change and achieve desired results. Based on previously issued reports on public sector organizations' approaches to reinforce individual accountability for results, GAO identified key practices that federal agencies can consider as they develop modern, effective, and credible performance management systems.
Public sector organizations both in the United States and abroad have implemented a selected, generally consistent set of key practices for effective performance management that collectively create a clear linkage--"line of sight"--between individual performance and organizational success. These key practices include the following. (1) Align individual performance expectations with organizational goals: An explicit alignment helps individuals see the connection between their daily activities and organizational goals; (2) Connect performance expectations to cross-cutting goals: Placing an emphasis on collaboration, interaction, and teamwork across organizational boundaries helps strengthen accountability for results; (3) Provide and routinely use performance information to track: organizational priorities. Individuals use performance information to manage during the year, identify performance gaps, and pinpoint improvement opportunities; (4) Require follow-up actions to address organizational priorities: By requiring and tracking follow-up actions on performance gaps, organizations underscore the importance of holding individuals accountable for making progress on their priorities; (5) Use competencies to provide a fuller assessment of performance: Competencies define the skills and supporting behaviors that individuals need to effectively contribute to organizational results; (6) Link pay to individual and organizational performance: Pay, incentive, and reward systems that link employee knowledge, skills, and contributions to organizational results are based on valid, reliable, and transparent performance management systems with adequate safeguards; (7) Make meaningful distinctions in performance: Effective performance management systems strive to provide candid and constructive feedback and the necessary objective information and documentation to reward top performers and deal with poor performers; (8) Involve employees and stakeholders to gain ownership of performance management systems: Early and direct involvement helps increase employees' and stakeholders' understanding and ownership of the system and belief in its fairness; and (9) Maintain continuity during transitions: Because cultural transformations take time, performance management systems reinforce accountability for change management and other organizational goals.

One thing that stuck from college was one of my professors tips: Every once in a while draw with only ink, skip the penciling so you can see your mistakes. …
Er something along those lines anyway. So yeah, I figured I should practice drawing people so I did 2 ladies and a dude. Derp, I think the first thing I notice is that I have a bad habit of making people way too skinny. I dunno, I did the girl on the left first and the lady on the right last, I tried telling myself to not make her too skinny but I don't think she came out that much thicker. Maybe a little. Also I have no idea what she is doing with that weapon but once the ink is down you just have to work with what you got or find some creative way to hide it. The guy's sword for example wasn't really even going to be there if it wasn't for a stray line that I had to incorporate.
Lol also that first chick's face came out really messed up, especially the eyes. Ooops. Dunno how I could of fixed that, maybe I could have just given her sun glasses or an eyepatch (maybe I'm crazy but I think she kind of came out looking like Selena Gomez). Also legs, need to work on legs. Oh and yes, I have the fashion sense of a senile dog.
Oh well enough of that, I'm not supposed to beat myself up over art. Yes. Indeed, its actually pretty okay considering it was done without penciling. Yup. Yes. I think. Possibly.

Infographics: Nursing Your Lungs
This special infographic was sent from Sarah Wenger and I would like to share to you, my readers.
If you are a smoker, you know that Ramadhan is exciting our every cell right now and i think it's time for us to take the best out of it — by quit smoking. Yes, I know it's hard.
It's so hard.
It changes everything.
When I mean everything, it means everything.
It changes the way you smell, the way you talk, the way you speak, the way you drive your behavior, the way you breathe the air.
It changes your fundamental values, your principles, and your philosophy.
It changes your money wise, your expenses, and your contribution to the economy.
It changes your community interaction, since you don't want to get along with smokers that always have upper hands to fail your mission to quit.
You feel frustrated because, the only social skill you are good at, is when you 're getting smoke outside building and interact with the people around you.
It may takes a while to gain a new social skill.
You will some of lose your old smoking friends' closeness as you gain new social friends that you may not even like their jokes, their too-good behaviors, their goals in life, their principles, and the way they're thinking.
It changes the way you see people, the way you see the world.
You feel frustrated and resigned.
The only way to get away with all of this — is by getting a cigarette.
When you reached at this point, you know you are failed.
Back to square one. But don't give up. It may take 100 times of trials before you permanently stop smoking.
Change is a revolution. I know this is insignificant to some other people. But to us, it's a revolution.
This revolution needs a million of changes,
…needs a thousand times failure,
…and one success.
Alright, enough talking. Enjoy the infographic.

Scientists Discover That Mars is Full of Water
Despite claims in the 1890s that Mars was filled with canals teeming with water, research over the past several decades has suggested that in fact, Mars has only a tiny amount of water, mostly near its surface. Then, during the 1970s, as part of NASA's Mariner space orbiter program, dry river beds and canyons on Mars were discovered—the first indications that surface water may have once existed there. The Viking program subsequently found enormous river valleys on the planet, and in 2003 it was announced that the Mars Odyssey spacecraft had actually detected minute quantities of liquid water on and just below the surface, which was later confirmed by the Phoenix lander.
Now, according to an article published yesterday in the journal Geology, there is evidence that Mars is home to vast reservoirs of water in its interior as well. The finding has weighty implications for our understanding of the geology of Mars, for hopes that the planet may have at some point in the past been home to extraterrestrial life and for the long-term prospects of human colonization there.
"There has been substantial evidence for the presence of liquid water at the Martian surface for some time," said Erik Hauri, one of the study's authors. "So it's been puzzling why previous estimates for the planet's interior have been so dry. This new research makes sense."
The research team, led by led by University of New Mexico scientist Francis McCubbin, didn't even have to go all the way to Mars to find the water—they just closely looked at a pair of meteorites we've already had for some time. The Shergotty meteorite, which crashed in Bihar, India in 1865, and the Queen Alexandria Range 94201 meteorite, which landed in Antarctica and was discovered in 1994, were both ejected from Mars roughly 2.5 million years ago. Because they formed due to volcanic activity, when molten Martian mantle was brought to the surface and crystallized, they can tell us a great deal about the planet's insides.
"We analyzed two meteorites that had very different processing histories," Hauri said. "One had undergone considerable mixing with other elements during its formation, while the other had not." For both of the meteorites, the team looked specifically at the amount of water molecules locked inside crystals of the mineral apatite and used this as a proxy for how much water was contained in the original rock on Mars that produced the meteorites. To determine the precise amount of water, they used a technology called secondary ion mass spectrometry, which shoots a focused beam of ions at the sample and measures the amount of ions that bounce off of the surface.
The amount of water in the meteorites suggested that the Martian mantle contains somewhere between 70 and 300 parts per million of water—an amount strikingly similar to Earth's own mantle. Because both the samples contained roughly the same water content despite their different geological histories on Mars, the researchers believe that the planet incorporated this water long ago, during the early stages of its formation. The paper also provides us with an answer for how underground water may have made its way to the Martian surface: volcanic activity.
Earlier this week, we discussed how solar radiation is among the many problems that face potential human colonization of Mars, but finding a huge underground store of water inside the planet would still go a long way towards making settlement a legitimate possibility. In the long-term, drilling for underground water may be cheaper and easier than, say, trying to melt surface ice, or subsisting off the tiny amount of surface water that we know is present.
Additionally, the finding is getting an entire separate crowd excited: those who are hoping to find fossil or other evidence that Mars once supported life. The fact that water has apparently existed on the planet for such a long time makes the odds of life originating there just a little less scant.
All this from a pair of meteorites that crashed on our planet over a century ago. Just imagine what we might learn during future missions to Mars, such as NASA's unmanned space laboratory, Curiosity, which will land on Mars on August 5th.
Still, it won't be easy. Watch this NASA video to learn about the riskiest part of the whole mission—the seven minutes between when the rover hits the top of the Martian atmosphere and when it touches down.

That NASA video is very smartly produced and directed, and the music builds a level of excitement that draws the listener/viewer in. I now feel emotionally invested in the success of this upcoming mission, eventhough it will be unmanned.
I have have a few questions.
Who edits your articles?
Two mistakes in the first two paragraphs?
The smithsonian? You guys aren't involved in those seven minutes are you?
Thank you for your time.
P.S I grew up in a third world country. I never finished high school. You may not take your jobs seriously but I do. Clear and concise language matters when attempting to communicate ideas.
P.P.S Apologies if I was rude.
Also in oppening line: …research over the past several decades has suggest that
Change "has suggest" to either "suggest" or "has suggested". -
I repeat – Oppening sentence reads: Despite claims in the 1890s that Mars with filled with canals teeming with water, [...]
Please change "with filled with canals" to "was filled with canals". -
Ooooops for the third time!
In second paragraph: The finding has weighty implications for our understanding of the geology of Mars, for hopes that the planet may have at some point in the past was home to extraterrestrial life, [...]
You forgot the period after "S" in BOTH "P.S" and in "P.P.S" on your comment. You may not take comments seriously but I find the omission of initialization periods confusing and detracting.
Clear, concise AND correctly punctuated language matters when attempting to communicate ideas. Omission of the period tends to make the "S" appear as part of the text. -
"…mostly near its surface.Then, during…" is missing a space after the period.
"…home to extraterrestrial life, and for the long-term prospects…" probably shouldn't have that comma for a dependent clause.
"…mineral apatite, and used this…" same as above.
"The fact that water has apparently existed on the planet for such a long time makes the odds of life originating there just a little less scarce scant." scarce or scant, pick one.
Mars… Dune… desert planet.
Why doesn't everybody worry less about the grammar and focus on adding quality content to the comments. It is apparent that no one here gives a damn about the fine men and women who have made this journey even possible. If you want to correct peoples grammar then BE an editor, no one wants to hear you correct others. I personally liked the article and I actually learned something about Ion Mass spectrometry and the 2 old meteorites. I will Def. be watching to see if the probe can safely land and give us some more great data.
I believe you are missing the point of the article. The article was NOT written as an english proofreading exercise. The grammar and spelling errors did not make the article unreadable nor did it invalidate any of the information presented. Water in Mars are awesome me like. Suck it. -
Dear God. What a grammatical/spelling mess.
Nobody noticed the title of the article?
"Scientists Discover That Mars is Full of Water"
The words "Discover" "That" "Full" and 'Water" should not start with a capital letter. -
Golly, seeing all these errors gives me hope that I can find work writing for a website.
Wow. That video makes landing on Mars seem impossible…
This is a warning- don't touch the water. -
I thought also, that the music was comming from the space! I'm sure that in the future we' ll get water and electr. power from other planets …so keep on working. Thank you.

Because -- -- what you wish for because in his next video Alan Simpson's taking his clothes off.
Are not I've gotten your attention allow the former debt commission co -- to -- congress' attention.
Alan you're not exactly dancing around Washington's latest us spending to -- and not have do what you're hearing -- Zain.
Look you play that -- -- more drama gonna come up -- -- -- your I think.
I'd love that I I think -- that's -- no well did we wish we wish more young people of that thing and if we've gone around the country in the body -- -- -- -- could live through that.
PMI you know it is it's very popular and what's -- young -- -- particularly by right about that.
But it's like congress ignored it completely and -- its latest.
-- -- whatever you wanna call -- -- disproportionately.
Woefully so.
-- -- over cuts I gotta wonder whether the lever they get the backbone to cut.
I don't think so.
It is miniscule what they did -- into it but they got their wish the popular.
They said the poll shows 75% of the people want to tax the rich that's fine I don't have a problem that frankly.
Then it but they forgot the one -- 75% of people say they wanna cut spending where where is that happy band and made didn't do lick of that.
You know what I wonder about human you know James -- in the South Carolina democratic congress was with me earlier of -- lovely gentleman a good person.
And we -- put him and we were doing our -- development worries me is you know he cited all the problems -- spending and abuse is gone back to the bush years and -- -- -- I would agree with I think we go back to -- -- -- -- Centex.
But the time is now did the debt is real and we're -- -- fault that is we got a dissolving about a but he wouldn't offer may elect a stuff to cut.
And and that's it worries me it's almost as it back to this.
Argument here in the White House where are reportedly the president's own John Boehner we don't have a spending brown well therein lies the -- we can't address the problem with nobody even acknowledges there is -- Well actually saddest thing of all is that no one gets specific except leave what you would divide the group -- Became emotional when another five Pam -- by the -- independent China non and we were very specific well we did.
These guys all say -- we love attempt play it.
We love they have proposal the planned.
It's all there and they don't wanna touch with a stick to -- -- view riled up the mortgage guy you riled up the insurance and.
-- all jump off the cliff Saddam by that you know there's there's comfort -- in and in company right.
-- you all said look we like what Alan did we like what Erskine did why -- -- all hands.
And and why don't we just hold our nose with the other hand and just say we like this and and we're gonna risk everything subordinates and following miss.
Well that takes that takes guts and during our little tour the camp push for almost -- -- we would run and the guys should I didn't know who they were -- -- -- -- in the house because they had the button.
And they've come up in Russia and they'd say save us from ourselves and they weren't kidding yeah they were last -- it was a jocular reference but they were actually serious save us from our shelves these guys.
Can't tell that they have they have if the classic should promote people -- -- campaign contributions.
Good -- -- actually -- some of that.
I mean there's another hard core issue.
In another couple 34 terms of president will have by -- president -- from some -- I'll be able to put up twenty million.
And normal saying he's saying this is what's madness these guys are terrified by the -- let's take.
Kennedy didn't take a deal.
Where we were on the brain and we're gonna have this cliff disaster.
And they still produce something that was at that's.
The suspicious.
Then Willoughby.
Lieu of the eight week postponement of these secrets basic cuts and then they have to decide will be the debt ceiling -- which might come at the very same moment right.
Well as they stumble around them that there's this evil force out there that nobody seems to understand but the money guys do to ensure understood -- he knows this game.
That is the market shall get tired of all the fun game -- small little funny -- Normally -- got tired yet if or how little this they're running up like yeah.
Guys listen disagree here.
If that but the real point is is that that kind of stuff -- -- term for that in the money guys -- can happen in two years ago -- too much could have meant for the day is.
And that's when the markets hit it may -- -- inflation will go -- them and the trade show go up and everybody we won't disappear.
But we won't be number one MML -- -- did this and they look around find the churkin their district was -- like who wouldn't cut a nickel.
Wouldn't raise it actually see you -- you late edition -- this them and year out that's your only hope for democracy right now.
Now I'm still waiting still -- and Alan Simpson thank you very much.
Crusher fingers ceremony will thank you served -- even now you're here to do answered by the -- I -- I would spend they've got -- traction Korea should've known of -- the.

Data Collection
Adult Cardiac Surgery Data Collection
Procedure Identification v2.73
The STS has changed the algorithm it uses to determine the procedure type (ProcID) for the cases in the Adult Cardiac Surgery Database. This change will allow the Database to more accurately categorize unplanned procedures, canceled cases, and transcatheter valve procedures. We expect this change to affect less than one percent of all cases.
The updated version of the flowchart to determine the procedure type is provided below. A web-based utility that follows the algorithm defined in the flowchart will also be available in the coming weeks. This utility can be used by data managers to determine the procedure type for individual cases.
It is optional for the Certified Software Vendors to incorporate this change into their software. Vendors who choose to make these changes will need to go through a verification process with the Data Warehouse. As a result of this, there is not enough time for the vendors to get the changes completed in time for the 2012 Harvest 4 that is currently in progress. Please contact your Clinical Data Specialist if you have any questions.

Four U.P. student teams win in MDOT's Michigan Design & Build Bridge Challenge
Contact: James Lake, MDOT Office of Communications,email@example.com
906-786-1830, ext. 311Agency: Transportation
Fast Facts:
- Four U.P student teams among 12 winning teams in statewide bridge building competition.
- The winning teams come from Negaunee and Escanaba high schools.
- Two U.P. teams selected to participate in the national bridge competition May 18 in Traverse City.
May 10, 2012 -- Four teams from Upper Peninsula schools were among 12 winning teams statewide in the 4th Annual Michigan Design & Build Bridge Challenge held in Lansing on April 30.
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) organizes the competition as part of Michigan's Transportation and Civil Engineering (TRAC) program. MDOT offers the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) TRAC program, designed to interest students in careers in civil engineering and transportation, to schools in Michigan. Federal funds, designated for student outreach, were used to fund the bridge competition.
The 80 participating teams designed and built one of three kinds of bridges for the competition: 7th and 8th graders built truss bridges; 9th and 10th graders built drawbridges; and 11th and 12th graders built cable-stayed bridges.
The winning teams from the U.P. are:
- Spencer Leivo, Steven Olson and Cody McGrath from Negaunee High School, led by adviser Kevin Bell, won 1st place in the 11th and 12th grade category.
- Nickolas Kill, Austin Rice and Cody Erickson from Negaunee High School, led by adviser Kevin Bell, won 2nd place in the 11th and 12th grade category.
- Wade Saari, Eric Benkarski and Derek Scott from Negaunee High School, led by adviser Kevin Bell, won 3rd place in the 11th and 12th grade category.
- Jordyn Van Portfliet, Samantha Connor and Brittany Levesque from Escanaba High School, led by adviser Tammy Connor, won 3rd place in the 9th and 10th grade category.
Teams were judged by MDOT engineers on their bridge's specification measurements, the strength-to-weight ratio, and a PowerPoint presentation.
Two 11th and 12th grade teams from Negaunee, the "Negaunee Bridge Builders" (Spencer Leivo, Steven Olson and Cody McGrath) and the "Negaunee Civil Constructors" (Derek Hicks, Adam Wainio and Lydia Jarvi), also were selected to be among nine teams to compete in the national AASHTO bridge challenge. That competition will take place Friday, May 18, in Traverse City as part of AASHTO's 2012 Spring Meeting.

Advanced Study Grants
university fellowships committee
Recipients |
The Boston College Advanced Study Grants were established to encourage, support, and give visible recognition to undergraduates who have that special spark of scholarly initiative and imagination. Students with these qualities should also be thinking of themselves as prospective candidates for national fellowships, such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, Goldwater, or Truman. An Advanced Study Grant for a summer project can be an important step along the way.
Advanced Study Grants are for student-designed projects. They are not awarded for projects in which a student proposes to work with a faculty member on the faculty member's research. For such faculty-designed projects, Boston College has Undergraduate Research Fellowships.
Advanced Study Grants are available for the following purposes:
Advanced Study Grants for Freshmen and Sophomores: These are awarded for summer research or "skill acquisition" projects that promise to accelerate dramatically the applicant's progress in the major field of study. The intent of this program is to encourage undergraduates to acquire skills that will make more sophisticated research and study possible during their Junior and Senior years. "Skill acquisition" is broadly defined. It might mean, for example, improving language competence, mastering information technology applications, or improving proficiency in lab techniques—or it might mean becoming knowledgeable about methodologies within, or across, academic disciplines.
Advanced Study Grants in the Arts: These are to encourage and support Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors who show initiative and imagination in the performing, literary, and visual arts. These grants are awarded for summer "skill acquisition" projects that promise to accelerate significantly the applicant's progress in the major field of study. Grants could be awarded, for example, to allow study in a medium not available at Boston College, such as printmaking or sound art. Other possible projects might be for a photographic survey of pilgrimage sites in Spain, a documentary on a volunteer project in Latin America, or a script-writing or creative writing project.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Advanced Study Grants: These grants are funded by the Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee at Boston College, and they are offered to Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors for summer projects that embody the philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and advance non-violent initiatives in civil rights, equal rights, and economic and social justice. For example, grants could support acquisition of skills in working with disenfranchised individuals or groups within the United States, visiting specialized libraries or archives, or advancing language skills to enhance a service or research trip to under-served areas within the United States or abroad. Proposals, particularly those for projects in another country, should clearly note the relevance of the project to the works and goals pursued by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Institute on Aging Advanced Study Grants: These grants are funded by the Boston College Institute on Aging, and they are offered to Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors for summer projects that explore the spiritual, physical, social, financial, and emotional dimensions of well-being of older adults and their families. For example, grants could support acquisition of skills in working with older adults, or research into policies and practices — including policies and practices in other countries — that might enhance the quality of life, quality of care, and vitality among America's aging population and their families.
ACC-IAC Grants for Thesis Research: These grants are for Juniors only, and are supported by special funding through the ACC-IAC Creativity and Innovation Program of the Atlantic Coast Conference. They are awarded for skill acquisition or preliminary research conducted during the summer before Senior year, to make possible more creative and ambitious Senior projects. These grants might be used, for example, to visit and exploit archives and special collections, to acquire advanced skills in data collection or analysis, to conduct interviews, or to improve language fluency — anything that promises to enhance dramatically what the applicant will be able to achieve in a Senior Thesis or Scholar of the College project. The grant activity must be carried out during the summer prior to Senior year, not during Senior year.
Advanced Study Grants have funded a wide array of summer projects during the past few years, but these grants have certain features in common. In every case, the project built upon the student's past academic accomplishments and laid the foundation for things that the student had in mind for the future, such as study abroad or a potential senior project. In many cases, successful proposals had more than one dimension. For instance, a proposal that combined intensive foreign-language study with a research project, or with an internship, or with community service in that language was more likely to succeed than one that proposed only foreign-language study. Winning proposals also showed sparks of originality and prudent ambition.
In sum, what succeeds are imaginative, unusual, and yet feasible proposals. Students are encouraged to discuss potential project ideas with a faculty mentor. Copies of the winning proposals for Advanced Study Grants in past years are available for review at the University Fellowships Committee office. Students applying for an Advanced Study Grant may find it helpful to read several of these prior winning proposals. See the links above—Recipients—for descriptions of project proposals that received funding in past years.
The University Fellowships Committee makes every effort to provide partial or full funding to as many worthwhile projects as it can. In previous years, grants have typically been in the range of $500 to $2,000, and roughly one out of every four nominated applicants has been awarded a grant.
Students considering the Advanced Study Grant should read the encouragement and advice from prior student winners, in their own words: Maureen Olsen and Pasha Mirazimi.

dotTech Advice
Wondershare Video Converter Platinum, a similar (but different!) title, was reviewed on dotTech just over two years ago. The final verdict illustrates how Ashraf felt about the program:
Wondershare Video Converter Platinum is an excellent program; it supports many input and output formats, allows users to perform basic edits on input files, works quickly, and converts with terrific quality. I give Wondershare Video Converter Platinum a thumbs up! [...]
[...]If you are looking for a shareware video converter, Wondershare Video Converter Platinum is one of the best; highly recommended.[...]
Freebie Details
Version being given out for free: v5.6.0
Free updates: probably
Supported OS: Windows NT4+
Download size:25.5MB
Giveaway time frame: unknown
First, download and install Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate's regular trial version–the software linked in the email is not the right program. Then, go to Wondershare's halloween themed giveaway page. (Is it left over from a past holiday season? Who knows.) From there, fill in a name and email.
I don't recommend using your primary emails, as what this also does is sign you up for a Wondershare Support Center account, and it also appears to be signing up for some sort of newsletter.
After entering your username and email, go to your inbox and open the email containing the code.
Copy and paste the registration code into the registration field, and be sure to use the same Licensed e-mail as the one listed in your email, not the one you registered with!
Voilà! You now have a fully licensed copy of Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate.

Thanks, Locutus, for the heads-up. Looks promising.
Just as a matter of interest, what's all this stuff about spamming?? 'False positives' flagged up by people who can't be bothered to research anythin g are as bad as sub-standard AVs.
Freemake has been around for some time and was reviewed favourably by CNet (not that a CNet review counts for much, I know, but even CNet isn't bonkers enough to review vaporware or malware):
If people are going to go to the trouble to post on here possible alternatives to software offers based on their own user experience, the least they deserve is not to be accused of 'spamming'. If 'Mr Pippers' has some kind of issue with Freemake, take it up with them.
26Thanks Locutus,
I've also registered – now done it twice. Still haven't received the email with the key code.
I've used your advice on not providing your primary email, however some companies will not accept hotmail, yahoo, gmail accounts etc. I've used my hotmail account.
Has anyone else had any luck receiving their key code by using their their free email account (i,e live, hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc)?
27When you install Freemake Video Decoder your browser is directed to the homepage of the company that makes the software, just like this program and many others do. When you get to the Freemake homepage you can download another good free program, Freeware Video Downloader. Some spam. Some scam.
Thanks, Locutus, for the tip on this software.
28Try using this site ( http://mailinator.com/index.jsp )to reate a temp e-mail box – that's what I did.
Thanks Tuiruru. I used mailinator and my key arrived within seconds. The Wondershare promo obviously doesn't like sending the key code to hotmail accounts.
Not that I mind providing my primary email addy in most cases. I have done so for other offers in past, such as Paragon Software, Easeus, Ashampoo, etc. I don't mind receiving emails on new offers, promo's, tips, relevant news, etc. Some of the promo's/offers can be pretty good and worth paying for depending on your needs. As long as its not too often (i.e. Ashampoo can be bit frequent). I just don't know much about Wondershare and decided to take Locutus's advice on not providing your primary email.
Many thanks,
32Glad it worked for you NickK.
I looked back thu' my GMail box and found I had had a reply from Wondershare when I applied for a reg Code when "Brothergiveaway" were promoting Wondershare Video Converter Platimum" back on 8 Jan
Funny old e-world :-)
33Did anyone download and install the executable that came in the email response after registering for key code?
It seems like its a different package to the regular trial version which is available from their web-site. The URL with the exectutable is called "DVD-converter-studio_full495″ and it is 20.8MB in size. The regular trial version is 24.5MB. When I looked at the properties of the 20.8MB file, its still called "Wondershare Video Converter version 5.4.4″. I'm guessing this version may not be updatable. But thats only a guess. I'd be interesting in knowing if anyone installed this package and what the difference might be.
Has everyone else installed the regular trial version available on the Wondershare web-site as suggested by Locutus's in the article above ? Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on which of these packages is best to install?
Many thanks,
34I already have version 5.4.2
Could I just get the registration code in that version and update to 5.6?
Should just uninstall the older version and start from scratch?
35Mumutu reported this tried to change some browser default setting, which i blocked. From the log:
"7/31/2011 12:05:13 AM 7024 C:\USERS\OWNER\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\IS-LBMMA.TMP\VIDEO-CONVERTER-ULTIMATE_FULL495.TMP Blocked by User Behavior.BrowsersettingsChange"36The screen capture is the only one I have seen that actually captures the sound directly. However, I found the screen capture only works if the application is run as an administrator
38It still work. After registration, the code is sent immediately, no need to wait an hour long.
40Downloaded, installed, updated perfectly today. on Win XP SP3.
Thx, Locutus.
