I am interested in this group of Acadians because I'm descended from Joseph Richard, who died in December 1757 with three of his children, and Madeleine Leblanc. His two older children lived and later married in the Nicolet area, but I don't know if they were in Quebec then or if they were with other family members somewhere else. I don't believe this family was on the Pembroke, they were from Beaubassin.

Hi Caroline,
The parents of Joseph (dit Canadian) Richard were exiled to Massachusetts as were some of his siblings. In fact, a couple of them died while in exile.
In Joseph's case, he had obviously escaped to Quebec early on given his death on 13 December 1757. His wife Madeleine LeBlanc dued 01 June 1788 at Bécancour. After the death of her husband she married a second time to Joseph (Prince) Leprince on 26 October 1761 at Ste-Croix, Lotbinière, Quebec.
Interestingly enough, Madeleine's parents had also been exiled to Massachusetts and made their way to Quebec post exile where they both died.
I hope this information is helpful.

Hi Lucie: I've seen your name everywhere on the internet... I've completed a novel that doesn't only give the history - but tells the story of how the history actually affected the people.
I hope as many people as possible read it - not to make money for me - but to get the story out.
Would you consider providing a link to my website?
Regards, Brian Lloyd French

Hi Genevie! Thank you for your post. All of the Acadians on the Pembroke did not die of smallpox once in Quebec.
- 2:37 PM, June 17, 2014
I'm researching the same line as Caroline, Joseph Richard (d.1757) and Madeleine LeBlanc (d. 1788). I'm trying to correctly follow this line and find out what happened to each of his children and not just my direct line.
Where can I research information on the deportations, and more about all of them as individuals?
Thank you so much!

Donald Wegel, Lead Engineer, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD
Scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt Maryland are in the early stages of designing a sample-collecting comet harpoon. NASA Goddard's Donald Wegel, lead engineer on the project, will work with researchers to send a spacecraft to rendezvous with the comet, and then fire a harpoon to acquire samples from specific locations.
NASA Tech Briefs: Why sample comets? What can we learn from comets?
Don Wegel: Comets are early remnants of the solar system's formation and might give us clues to the possible origins of life on Earth. They have some of the building blocks of life and could contain the primordial ooze of where we came from. Also, comets and asteroids are potential threats for the Earth, so to understand them better may help us find the best solution to avoid their impact.
NTB: So what is the comet harpoon, and how is it designed?
Wegel: The comet harpoon is much like it sounds — a core-sampling harpoon that is fired into a comet's surface and designed to take subsurface samples. It will hopefully penetrate anywhere from a meter to several meters deep, depending on the density. There is an inner sample cartridge, which has mechanisms that capture the sample, remove it from the comet, put it into a spacecraft, and send it home for extensive study.
NTB: Can you walk me through how a mission with the comet harpoon would work, from penetrating the surface, to collecting it, and then bringing back the data?
Wegel: A spacecraft will rendezvous with the comet and spend several months studying it. Then we'll pick an interesting spot, maybe a crevasse or a vent that's outgassing, and then fire sample-collecting harpoons into the target. As the harpoon penetrates the comet, a sample cartridge, which is located inside the harpoon sheath, will fill with material. Next, the sample-closure system engages and shuts a garage-door-like mechanism that captures the sample. The sample cartridge is then pulled out from the back of the harpoon and into the spacecraft, then transferred to a return capsule. Finally, the return capsule is sent back to Earth, most likely landing in the Utah desert or some large unpopulated area, and then we go pick it up.
NTB: What were the previous ways of collecting samples from a comet?
Wegel: So far it's never actually been done, but traditional samples are collected on earth and other bodies using a scoop, drill, or shovel. The problem is that on comets and asteroids there is so little gravity that any of these methods would require some other form of grappling to the surface; if you try to employ your drill on the surface, you'll push yourself back off. And the same with a shovel or scoop. So what's conceptually done is firing some sort of grappler, or basically a harpoon, to grapple to a surface. Then you use your drill, scoop, or shovel. Joseph Nuth, the scientist on this project, has proposed that we get rid of the drill, scoop, or shovel, and just use the harpoons themselves to not only grapple, but penetrate and collect the sample themselves.
NTB: Because of what this comet harpoon has to do, how has that created design challenges along the way?
Wegel: One of the trickiest parts of the design is packaging all the mechanisms that allow the sample capture into a very small cross-section. The thicker the walls of your harpoon are, the less it will penetrate, and the more energy it will require to break through any surface. But the thinner and smaller you make these mechanisms, the more likely they are to yield and/or break. So you need to have the mechanisms robust enough, but also small enough to fit in the available real estate.
We've also decided that it's too much of a risk, depending on the shape of the comet, to come in close with such enormous solar panels. So we decided to shoot from a little bit further away, up to about ten meters. Maintaining the stability of any projectile in free flight is a challenge, especially when it's attached to a tether. Also, as it hits the surface, you want to keep it upright, rather than tipping over, to maximize the depth it will collect samples from. Another huge challenge is physically getting the sample cartridge back to the spacecraft. It's difficult to simulate and test in our terrestrial laboratory, especially when trying to account for such low gravity conditions.

Savage: "Hillary Clinton, the most Godless woman in the Senate"
On his June 7 radio show, Savage Nation, host Michael Savage called Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) "the most Godless woman in the Senate" and mocked her for speaking at the June 4 National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast: saying "[S]o as all politicians, suddenly she [Clinton] becomes religious."
From the June 7 broadcast of Savage Nation:
SAVAGE: Then you have Hillary Clinton, the most Godless woman in the Senate, right out of the Marxist playbook, speaking at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast, so as all politicians, suddenly she becomes religious. And here she is opening up her speech to the Hispanics who actually believe in God -- you gotta hear clip 9 again, you won't believe this. Play clip 9.
HILLARY CLINTON: [audio clip of Clinton speaking at National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast] "Good morning. This is a day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it, and I am so..."
SAVAGE: Oh God, how do they get away with this?
Contrary to Savage's assertion that Clinton is "Godless" and has "suddenly" become religious, she expressed her long-standing religious convictions in a 1996 address to the United Methodist General Conference. "Methodism has been important to me for as long as I can remember," Clinton stated. "The Church was a critical part of my growing up, and in preparing for this event, I almost couldn't even list all the ways it influenced me, and helped me develop as a person, not only on my own faith journey, but with a sense of obligations to others."

Golf Capsules
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) Matt Kuchar overcame a four-stroke deficit to finally finish on top, his stunning chip-in on the 18th hole giving him a 64 and a victory at the RBC Heritage on Sunday.
Kuchar was four shots behind Luke Donald at the start but had seven birdies on his first 10 holes. He had a birdie putt of less than 8 feet at the par-3 17th, but three-putted for bogey to fall into a tie for first.
Kuchar was in more trouble in a bunker at Harbour Town Golf Links' closing lighthouse hole. That's when he blasted out and watched the ball rattle in for birdie. Kuchar punched the air and raised his arms in celebration of what would be his seventh career PGA Tour win.
Donald had two holes to catch Kuchar after the chip but couldn't do it. He missed a 28-foot birdie putt at the 17th, then saw his own try at a chip-in birdie slide past the cup at the last.
Kuchar finished at 11-under 273 to win $1.044 million and his first trophy since the Memorial last June.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) – Lee Westwood ended a two-year winless drought with a seven-shot victory at the Malaysian Open.
After a four-hour delay due to the threat of lightning in the middle of the final round, Westwood went on to shoot a 4-under par 68 to complete an 18-under 270 at the Kuala Lumpur Country Club course for his 36th career victory.
Westwood led from start to finish in the co-sanctioned European and Asian Tour event that he also won in 1997.
South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen (68), the 2012 champion, along with Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts (70) and Austria's Bernd Wiesberger (67) shared a distant second place at 11 under.
The win will improve Westwood's ranking and help him move up from 20th place in the European Ryder Cup standings.
DULUTH, Ga. (AP) – Miguel Angel Jimenez held off Bernhard Langer to win the Greater Gwinnett Championship, becoming only the third player to lead from start to finish in his Champions Tour debut.
Jimenez was coming off a fourth-place finish in the Masters and closed with a 67 to finish two strokes ahead of Langer. Jimenez finished the tournament with 32 consecutive holes without a bogey at TPC Sugarloaf.
Langer, the defending champion, shot his third-straight 68. Jimenez and Langer were tied at 10 under before a two-shot swing on No. 8. Jimenez needed only a short putt for a birdie, and Langer fell two strokes behind with his bogey.
Jay Haas shot 67 and was third, four shots off the lead. Fred Couples shot 70 and was fourth.
TOKYO (AP) – Japanese 15-year-old Minami Katsu became the youngest winner in the history of the Japan LPGA Tour by shooting a 4-under 68 to capture the Vantelin Ladies Open.
The amateur had five birdies against a lone bogey at Kumamoto Airport Country Club to finish at 11-under 205, one stroke ahead of South Korean Lee Bo-mee.

Calado dominates for sprint victory
Briton cruises to emphatic win
James Calado put on a crushing display of speed and racecraft to lead from lights to flag for a dominant victory in this morning's sprint race in Hockenheim, easing away lap after lap to roll home eight seconds ahead of Giedo van der Garde and Felipe Nasr.
The win was set up when the lights went out, as Calado stormed off the line as Nigel Melker stuttered behind him, bunching up much of the field. When front row starter Luiz Razia went wide at turn one Nasr slid past van der Garde at the next corner, with Leimer joining the pair to run 3 wide at the hairpin, leaving Razia nowhere to go but into a spin.
Max Chilton and Tom Dillmann were trapped behind the Brazilian and came together on the apex of the hairpin, prompting a safety car period to remove the stricken vehicles. The delay lasted only one lap and Calado was soon easing away from van der Garde, who had found a way back past his Brazilian rival, once again.
Esteban Gutiérrez was on a charge, and quickly disposed of Josef Kral, who was in the points after an amazing start, and Melker as he looked to salvage some points from his weekend in Germany. His job was made easier as Nasr was unable to stay with the lead pair and was bunching up the field behind him.
Johnny Cecotto was his next target, and the Venezuelan's pace was no match for his rival's: the Mexican was through on lap ten. Further back and Melker was struggling too, baulking his rivals as they tripped over each other in the closing laps of the race, with a huge train of cars squabbling for lap after lap.
But back at the front Calado serenely closed out the race ahead of van der Garde, with Nasr finishing third, ten seconds behind the Dutchman.
Leimer held on from immense pressure from Gutiérrez to close out in fourth place, while Cecotto had a lonely race until Jolyon Palmer got by Melker with a few laps to go, and crossed the line on the Venezuelan's rear wing. Stefano Coletti was the last man to grab a point, a just reward for a battling drive all race long.
Razia's disappointment will be mitigated by his maintenance of the championship lead over Davide Valsecchi, 171 points to 159, with Gutierrez closing the gap with 129 points, ahead of van der Garde on 119, while Calado's win puts him on 116 points, ahead of Leimer and Chilton on 95. Lotus will be delighted to head to Budapest on 245 points, ahead of their local rivals DAMS on 227, Arden on 175, with Racing Engineering on 136 points and Caterham on 125.

Free Play part II
- by Ty
Every parents wants there child to have a good time and learn. I always take advantage of activities that are low cost or free. I find that children like things simple. They can get overloaded and over stimulated easily. I have came up with a couple more FREE ideas to share !
- Nature Walks
Let you and your child/children take a small walk through your neighborhood, creek, or even community trails. There are so many types of species to look for anywhere you live. Bring along your camera phone, camcorder, or any recording device to let them pretend the are explorers or biologist. Make sure to pack your Eco friendly water containers to stay hydrated. Also bring a first aid kit and small backpack for other basic essentials. This activity can be done with one child or many. You can even include friends, because this activity is totally free.
- BYOB Lego Parties
Invite a small group of friends and family over. Have them bring a bag lunch and there favorite Lego's. Give the children a room or space where they can spread out all of the pieces. This will give them hours of imagination play along with engineering and hand and eye coordination play. This can also be done with K'Nex's, Playmobile, or whatever building toys your kids are into at the time.

Cloudera CEO Building '$20 Billion Company'
NEW YORK -- Fresh off raising $160 million from T. Rowe Price and three other unnamed investors, CEO Tom Reilly says his goal is to turn Cloudera Inc. into "a $20 billion company." He says the company will expand beyond its current business, which is selling services around a popular analytic framework, and become a platform company that accommodates software and services that are critical to large companies.
He also said the capital can allow the company to go public when it chooses, rather than because it needs to raise more money. He acknowledged that the company will go public eventually, because "in the enterprise software space it reassures the customer."
Cloudera has thus far raised $300 million, demonstrating the intense interest in the use of analytics to help solve business problems. Mr. Reilly, who met with CIO Journal Thursday at the Gigaom Structure Data conference in New York, acknowledges that he faces significant competition, but believes the capital will enable the company to expand geographically, continue developing the company's proprietary offerings, develop closer integration with other application vendors, and fund training for software engineers capable of working with the complex framework.
Hadoop, an open source analytic framework, is attractive to businesses because it can allow them to analyze very large amounts of data efficiently, and it is free to download. But it is also complex to install within corporate data centers, and not designed to be used by non-technical staff. That's where Cloudera, and other startups, such as Hortonworks Inc. and MapR Technologies Inc., come in; they sell standard processes for implementing the system, help companies integrate it with other applications that generate data, and teach IT staff how to use it. A number of established vendors, including such unlikely names as Intel Corp., are also offering Hadoop as part of their offerings in the hopes of capitalizing on this wave.
Mr. Reilly acknowledges that the money raised puts a target on his company's back, but also helps reassure potential customers that the company is here to stay. He said the company would stay humble despite the big funding round. "It's not game over, it's game on," he said. He also said he welcomes the competition from established companies because it "validates this vision."
He said he expects the company "to be a $20 billion revenue business, or bigger. We are a platform that can do that," he said.
He said Cloudera is developing a platform for the modern era as large established platform vendors did in the previous one. "We're creating a platform on a new model." But unlike those other companies, Cloudera will not build its own applications on top of its database, but will rely on an ecosystem of application vendors to do it. More than 200 technology services companies are using the platform as part of their offering.
He said Cloudera would become "the platform most enterprises will make the center of their businesses. This is how we see ourselves becoming a really large company."
Mr. Reilly said the company is focused on building out its management team and putting in place proper corporate governance processes before becoming a public company.
In addition to the thousands of free downloads of the Cloudera version of the software, Cloudera has 300 paying business customers for its full-service Enterprise Data Hub, which it introduced last October. It costs between $5,000 and $7,000 per node per year, and includes around-the-clock customer service.
Cloudera is offering Hadoop training through 19 universities, as well as through online learning site Udacity, according to Mr. Reilly. He said the company has helped train more than 50,000 engineers around the world on the software. He says it has 84% market share in global Hadoop training. Eight thousand of those are certified Cloudera engineers. "We're working hard to solve the data skills problem for our customers," he said.
Edd Dumbill, vice president of strategy for Silicon Valley Data Science, a Big Data consulting company based in Sunnyvale, Calif., said data is a good starting point for becoming a platform company. "Data attracts data, data makes data – and that's great for platform companies," he said.

Had a nice day out with Carol on Sunday, nothing too strenuous but it was certainly challenging up on the tops. We parked at Clapham and took the nature trail through the estate and up onto the moors, the weather was mixed with sunshine and snow flurries on and off all day.
Clapham Folly
Interesting masonary, apparently it had no religious use it was just built to look good next to the lake
The nature trails leads you through a real mix of vegetation from all over the world, sadly most of it still in winter mode, the himalayan rhododendrons looked impressive though. The trail emerges near Ingleborough Cave and then winds up through Trow Gill.
After climbing out of the gully you emerge on the open moorland, first sight of Ingleborough ahead, looks a bit snowy
As we were passing I took Carol over to see Gaping Gill
Halfway up Little Ingleborough, looking back
Carol swears she enjoyed it
Up the eastern flank of Ingleborough, looking back
Typically when we reached the plateau it was blowing a hoolie with frozen rain and snow, almost a white out at times, we headed for the cross shelter but we didn't hang around for long
Ribblehead Viaduct just right of centre
We dropped down off the plateau and headed for Sulber, the descent was pretty dodgy on the frozen snow and ice, I did a good section of it on my backside, looking back up to Little Ingelborough
Limestone pavement
Long Lane, they weren't kidding either
A right nice day on moors, grand

Senator Don Farrell backs down on move to SA politics after Premier Jay Weatherill threatens to quit
Labor senator Don Farrell has pulled out of the preselection race for a safe state seat after South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill threatened to quit.
''I think the best interests of the Labor party are best served by me withdrawing,'' Senator Farrell told reporters in Adelaide.
The Labor Party's bitter internal divisions became public on Friday morning when Mr Weatherill accused his federal colleague of being partly responsible for the destruction of the federal Labor Party.
Nor was Senator Farrell welcome in South Australian Labor politics, despite having apparently stitched up a deal to replace retiring State Finance Minister Michael O'Brien in the seat of Napier, Mr Weatherill said.
"For better or for worse Don represents some of the divisions and disunity that comes from federal politics and we don't want that playing into the state parliament," Mr Weatherill said on ABC radio.
"We certainly don't want it in the state Labor Party."
Asked whether he would resign before the March election if Senator Farrell was preselected, Mr Weatherill replied: "Absolutely".
After hearing the Premier's attack on his character and motives, Senator Farrell insisted he would still run for preselection in the seat of Napier after he lost his Senate position in last year's federal election.
However, hours later he called a press conference to announce he would withdraw from the preselection race and retire from politics when his Senate term ends on July 1.
The Labor Party will now have to select another candidate for the seat of Napier with Mr O'Brien also confirming that he would not recontest the seat in the upcoming state election.
Senator Farrell is a former state secretary and national president of South Australia's most powerful union, the Shop Distributive and Allied Employees' Association.
Known as the 'Godfather' of South Australia's Labor Party, Senator Farrell has been a powerbroker in state preselections and was instrumental in the axing of then prime minister Kevin Rudd in 2010.
Senator Farrell's factional support secured him the top spot on South Australia's Senate ticket for the 2013 election. A factional revolt lead by the Left faction's Anthony Albanese ended with Senator Farrell surrendering his number one position to Penny Wong.
Labor MP for Adelaide, Kate Ellis, a factional ally of Senator Farrell's, had praised her colleague, saying she would ''be very surprised if there is a better candidate than Don'' for the state seat of Napier.
But Ms Ellis admitted Friday morning's ''unusual'' outburst by Mr Weatherill would not help Labor's chances in the South Australian election.

Watch This: To a Computer Program, Your Heartbeat is Visible in the Color of Your Face
Did you know your face actually turns slightly red each time your heart beats, when fresh blood pumps through it? Neither did I, and that's because it's so slight that our visual perception system doesn't pick up on it. Ah, but what if you could use a computer program to magnify the changes so they become visible? That's just what computer scientists at MIT did, and the result is fascinating: watch the video above (starting at 1:25) and see how with every heartbeat, a man's face turns tomato red, then fades to a pallid yellow. The program is so precise that it can accurately calculate a person's heart rate from the color changes.

Political Standoff Over U.S. Debt Ceiling Begins: "National Debt Is A Moral Threat to the U.S.," Say Christian Leaders
President Barack Obama has invited congressional Republicans to the White House for negotiations Wednesday following the defeat of a bill to raise the U.S. debt ceiling. While the House will likely raise the government's borrowing ability sooner or later, it may not come without deep spending cuts and budget revisions.
Strangely, but not surprisingly, Tuesday's bill seeking a raise in the debt limit by $2.4 trillion was sponsored by the Republicans who have a majority in the House. The bill's chief sponsor, Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, was quoted by the media as saying, "This vote, a vote based on legislation I have introduced, will and must fail." It failed on a vote of 318 to 97 – far below the two-thirds majority required for passage.
The vote was held to tell Obama that the House will not increase the debt limit unconditionally. Representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, senior Democrat on the Budget Committee, termed the move as a "political stunt," The New York Times reported. Other Congressional Democrats warned this could rattle financial markets at home and abroad.
Soon after the government hit the $14.29 trillion debt ceiling on May 16, Politico suggested that Congressional Republicans were planning to use the debt limit as a "negotiating chip to extract deeper spending cuts and long-term fiscal reforms" from the White House.
While Republicans want the government to slash its spending before seeking to raise the borrowing limit, Democrats intend to hike tax, especially for wealthier Americans, to shield funding entitlements such as Medicare or Social Security. But the timing of the crisis is in Republicans' favor, as the strain on the U.S. Treasury – due to the war against terror and the depression – reached a saturation point during Obama's presidency.
The face-off may continue well into the summer, thinks New York Times reporter Jackie Calmes. Consequences will be for both parties and, potentially, for the economy and Wall Street, where the bond market in particular is watching the standoff closely, she said in an article Tuesday.
But Calmes played down the possibility of a major crisis coming out of it. "Yet for all the talk of crisis should Congress fail to raise the debt ceiling by Aug. 2, when the Treasury Department says it will run out of room to meet all the government's obligations without further borrowing, the financial markets are likely to yawn at yesterday's proceedings."
However, some analysts are worried. JPMorgan Chase head Jamie Dimon fears a delay in raising the debt limit could do a significant harm to the U.S. economy leading to uncertainty in the bond market and hike interest rates, according to The Wall Street Journal. It could raise capital costs for struggling U.S. businesses and cash-strapped homebuyers and rising interest rates might divert future taxpayer money away from much-needed capital investments such as infrastructure, education and healthcare, according to Jonathan Masters at Council on Foreign Relations.
Earlier this year, a group of Christian leaders echoed what House Speaker John Boehner has said – that the national debt is a moral threat to the U.S. and that fixing it is a moral priority.
The group, which includes leaders such as Fuller Theological Seminary President Richard Mouw, Sojourners' Jim Wallis and Northland Church pastor the Rev. Joel Hunter, offered a Christian proposal to take on the federal debt while being mindful of the poor. They called for cuts to wasteful corporate and agricultural subsidies, the defense budget and salary increases to federal employees. They also called for reforms to social security and for lawmakers to control health care-related expenses rather than just trimming government budgets.

Participants to study with top humanities scholars at leading academic institutions
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) today announced its schedule of summer seminars and institutes in separate programs for K-12 teachers and college and university faculty. NEH seminars and institutes provide the nation's teachers with summer opportunities for study with top humanities scholars on a wide range of specific topics in history, literature, and other humanities disciplines.
"For more than 30 years, NEH summer programs have provided almost 50,000 teachers with opportunities to become students again for a few weeks and to pursue their intellectual interests with some of the nation's finest humanities scholars," said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole. "Teachers selected to participate in 2005 seminars or institutes will find the experience both rigorous and rewarding."
For elementary and secondary school teachers from public, charter, private, parochial, and home schools, each seminar enables 15 participants to explore a topic or set of readings with a scholar having special interest and expertise in the field. The principal goal of the seminar is to engage teachers in the scholarly enterprise and to expand and deepen their understanding of the humanities, through reading, discussion, writing, and reflection. The 14 upcoming summer summers will examine topics that include Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, "Reading Don Quixote," and "Legacies of World War II in France" (in Paris and Caen, France).
An institute for school teachers, typically led by a team of core faculty and visiting scholars, is designed to present the best available scholarship on important humanities issues and works taught in the nation's schools. The 25 to 35 participating teachers compare and synthesize the various perspectives offered by the faculty, make connections between the institute content and classroom applications, and often develop improved teaching materials for their classrooms. The 14 institute topics this year include "Teaching Jazz as American Culture," "Mozart's Worlds" (in Vienna, Austria), "The Coming of the U.S. Civil War," and "George Washington and His Legacy."
Each of the 20 seminars for college and university teachers includes 15 participants working in collaboration with one or two leading scholars. Participants have access to a major library collection, with time reserved to pursue individual research and study projects. This year's seminar topics include "Early American Microhistories," "Joseph Smith and the Origins of Mormonism," and "The Early American Republic and the Problem of Governance." This year's 12 institutes for college and university teachers, which provide intensive, collaborative study of texts, topics, and ideas central to undergraduate teaching in the humanities, will examine topics that include "Rethinking America in Global Perspective," "Nationhood and Healing in the Post-Civil War American West," and "Latin American Philosophy."
A complete list of 2005 NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes, with contact information for individual directors, can be found on NEH's website. The list is also available as a PDF, located in the above box. Applications must be submitted to the appropriate project director by March 1, 2005. Teachers selected to participate in a seminar or institute will receive stipends of $1,800 to $4,200 (determined by the length of the program, from two to six weeks) to help cover travel costs, books and other research expenses, and living expenses. In late January, NEH will announce its 2005 "Landmarks of American History" workshops, a separate program of one-week workshops for school teachers and community college teachers.

Whereas conventional medical treatments today tend to focus on the former goal of treating or controlling symptoms, various natural therapeutics primarily attend to the latter goal of augmenting the person's own inherent defenses. Although the direct treatment of symptoms often has immediate effects, its benefits tend to be short-term. Because such therapeutic interventions do not usually strengthen the person's own defenses, the individual remains prone to recurrence of their problem.
In contrast, therapeutic methods that strengthen a person's immune and defense system has longer term benefit and can prevent recurrence, but the benefit is sometimes achieved more slowly.
These generalizations about therapeutic methods are, however, just that, generalizations. There are plenty of exceptions, but these generalizations create a useful framework from which to evaluate the benefits and limitations of various therapeutic approaches.
Homeopathy and Immune Response
Homeopathy obviously fits into the class of therapeutic methods that augment the body's own defenses. The basis of homeopathy, called the principle of similars, suggests that a microdose of a substance will heal whatever pattern of symptoms this substances causes in large dose. This principle is also observed in the use of vaccinations and allergy treatments, though homeopathic medicines are both considerably smaller and safer in dose and more individualized to the person they are being used to treat.
Although homeopathic medicines are thought to stimulate the body's own defenses, how they do so remains a mystery. One study published in the European Journal of Pharmacology1 showed that a homeopathic medicine, Silicea, stimulated macrophages (macrophages are a part of the body's immune system which engulf bacteria and foreign substances). How or why Silicea was able to have this action or why exceedingly small doses of it are so active is unknown. In the same way that physicians and pharmacologists do not understand how many drugs work, we do not understand how homeopathic medicine actually work.
Homeopathic medicine do not simply stimulate the body's immune system to treat ill people, for they can also calm it when this is necessary for the healing of the individual. An example of this latter effect was observed in a study of the homeopathic treatment of people with rheumatoid arthritis, a condition which is considered an autoimmune illness. People with auto-immune ailments suffer because their body's immune system is over-active and it attacks the person's own cells, not just bacteria, viruses, or foreign substances.
This study on 46 people with rheumatoid arthritis showed that those given an individualized choice of homeopathic medicine got considerably more relief than those given a placebo.2 A total of 82% of those people given a homeopathic medicine experienced relief of pain, while only 21% of those given a placebo got a similar degree of relief.
Homeopathy and Infectious Diseases
Toward the end of Louis Pasteur's life, he had come to realize that germs may not be the cause of disease afterall, but instead are probably the results of disease. In other words, various bacteria and other infective organisms may be present when there is some type of disease, but infection tends to establish itself primarily when a person's own defenses are compromised sufficiently to make him susceptible to the infection.

Women make gains in Democratic Senate, House stays Republican
The election will bring a host of fresh faces to Congress, but the control of the two chambers will remain the same: Republicans keep a majority in the House of Representatives, and Democrats hold onto control of the Senate.
Democrats swept some of the most attention-grabbing Senate contests, including the faceoff between incumbent Republican Sen. Scott Brown and Democrat and consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren. Democrats are expected to retain their 53-47 edge, counting the Senate's two independents as part of their total.
In Wisconsin, Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin bested popular Republican former Gov. Tommy Thompson, becoming the first openly gay member of the Senate on a night when two states, Maine and Maryland, passed marriage equality measures. Baldwin won the seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Sen. Herb Kohl. With their victories and the apparent win in North Dakota by Democrat Heidi Heitkamp, a former state attorney general, a record number of women joined the male-dominated Senate.
They also include Hawaii Democrat Mazie Hirono and Republican Deb Fischer, a state senator who thwarted former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey's quest to regain his seat.
In Ohio, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown sailed to re-election, and in a closely watched race in Indiana, Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly defeated Republican state Treasurer Richard Mourdock for the seat being vacated by Sen. Richard Lugar. Mourdock, a tea party favorite who defeated Lugar in the Republican primary, slipped dramatically in the polls after he said that "even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that is something that God intended to happen."
Similarly, in Missouri, Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, long thought to be one of the most vulnerable incumbents, defeated Republican Rep. Todd Akin, who created a controversy this summer when he said that women rarely got pregnant in case of "legitimate rape." A lot of mainline Republican support deserted him as a result.
Democrats also retained Virginia's Senate seat, as Tim Kaine defeated Republican George Allen, a former senator, in the battle of former Old Dominion governors. Kaine will fill the seat of retiring Democratic Sen. Jim Webb.
Republicans kept the Arizona seat opened by the impending retirement of Sen. Jon Kyl after Rep. Jeff Flake defeated former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona.
In Montana, Sen. Jon Tester, a Democrat, was expected to narrowly hold the seat in the face of a challenge from U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg. In Nevada, Republican Sen. Dean Heller defeated Democratic challenger Rep. Shelley Berkley.
Declaring victory, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid urged Senate Democrats and Republicans to work together in the closing days of the current Congress and in the 113th Congress beginning in January.
"The strategy of obstruction, gridlock and delay was soundly rejected by the American people. Now, they are looking to us for solutions," Reid said in a statement. "This is no time for putting things off until later. We can achieve things when we work together. And the middle class is counting on us to achieve big things in the months ahead."
In the House, Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, will continue to wield the gavel. Democrats had hoped to make a dent at least in the Republican majority, and they unseated 12 Republican incumbents. But Republicans continue to hold the House, which they took over in 2010.
On the Senate side, Democratic incumbents racked up early wins, dashing Republican dreams of picking up four seats and becoming the majority party. Sens. Bill Nelson of Florida, Joe Manchin of West Virginia – a coal country lawmaker who often broke with President Barack Obama on environmental and regulatory issues – Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Thomas Carper of Delaware and Benjamin Cardin of Maryland won easily.
Their sixth win was a marquee match in New England, where Democratic Rep. Christopher Murphy defeated Republican challenger Linda McMahon, a former wrestling executive who spent more than $42 million of her own money on her campaign, for the open Connecticut Senate seat created by the retirement of independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, who caucused with the Democrats.
Two New England independents, incumbent Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine, won their contests. Sanders, a fierce liberal, caucuses and often votes with the Democrats. King, who defeated Democratic challenger Cynthia Dill and Republican Charlie Summers for the seat being vacated by moderate Republican Olympia Snowe, hasn't indicated which party he'll caucus with, but criticized outside groups with Republican ties that attacked his campaign.
Among Republicans, Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee handily won re-election. In Texas, tea party-powered Republican candidate Ted Cruz won the Senate seat opened by the retirement of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
In the Massachusetts race, Brown was running for his first full term against Warren, a Harvard University professor who was Obama's choice to head the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, before Senate Republicans blocked her nomination. Scott won a special election in 2010 to fill the late Sen. Edward Kennedy's seat.
The Brown-Warren race was one of the most-watched Senate races – and one of the most expensive. Brown and Warren agreed to refuse outside money from so-called super PACS – political action committees – or other third-party groups. Still, the two combined spent $68 million. Also expensive: the Montana Senate race, where outside groups pumped $30 million into the contest and the campaigns themselves spent an estimated $18 million to win in a state with just under 1 million people.
While Democrats and Republicans jousted for control of the Senate, there was no doubt that Republicans would continue to control the House.
Democrats would have needed a net gain of 25 seats to recapture control, a tall order, largely because redistricting in several Republican-controlled states helped secure incumbents and created friendlier terrain for Republican challengers.
While control of the House didn't change, the chamber won't be the same after Tuesday. The combination of open seats and incumbent losses will bring in another huge freshman class, perhaps larger than the 93-member contingent in 2010. The House also might be more politically polarized next year with the exodus of some of its dwindling collection of moderates in both parties.
Some of the more high-profile House races included nine-term California Republican Rep. Dan Lungren's bid to beat back a serious challenge by Democrat Ami Bera for a Sacramento-area seat, a contest in which more than $6 million worth of outside money flowed in. Bera Wednesday morning was leading the race by 184 votes.
In Palm Springs, Democrat Raul Ruiz defeated California Republican Rep. Mary Bono Mack, whose husband, Rep. Connie Mack, also lost his bid for U.S. Senate in Florida.
The tea party lost one of its more high-profile members in Republican Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois. The House freshman lost to Tammy Duckworth, a double amputee Iraq War veteran who spoke at the Democratic National Convention. Chicago-area voters also re-elected absentee Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., who was gone from Capitol Hill for months after being diagnosed and treated for a bipolar disorder. He hasn't been seen publicly since early this summer.
In Florida, Rep. Allen West, a tea party favorite and one of two black Republicans in the House, appears to have lost his bid for a second term against Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy. Embattled Miami Rep. David Rivera, a Republican who faced criminal and ethical probes when he took office two years ago, lost to Democrat Rep. Joe Garcia.
In Utah, Saratoga Springs Mayor Mia Love lost to incumbent Rep. Jim Matheson, a member of the House's conservative Blue Dog Democratic caucus.
The Blue Dogs were once a powerful 54-member moderate force in the House. But their membership was halved after losses to Republican candidates in the 2010 elections. Blue Dog membership is expected to be down to the teens after Tuesday's results.
Among the early House results, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and Republican Rep. Hal Rogers of Kentucky, a 32-year veteran who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, cruised to re-election victories. In Kentucky, Republican challenger Andy Barr unseated incumbent Democratic Rep. Ben Chandler.

I can't tell you what the feelings of the people of Pakistan are todaySharif to boycott Pakistan elections Dec 27, 2007
Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif, (Punjabi, Urdu: میاں محمد نواز شریف) (born 25 December 1949) is a Pakistani politician who was Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1 November 1990 to 18 July 1993 and again from 17 February 1997 to 12 October 1999. He leads the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (Nawaz group), a political party. A wealthy businessman and a conservative politician, Sharif was Chief Minister of Punjab from 1985 to 1990 and was subsequently elected as Prime Minister. He notably ordered Pakistan's 1998 nuclear tests in response to India's nuclear tests and was ousted by Pervez Musharraf in an October 1999 military coup.
Mian Nawaz Sharif was born in Lahore, Pakistan on December 25, 1949, one year after the new nation's founding. He came from a family of scrap traders. His father and uncles had a small steel business named as 'Ittefaq' in Landa Bazar Lahore before the creation of Pakistan. Sharif attended St. Anthony's School Lahore. However, he along with his younger brother Shahbaz Sharif later on attended Pakistan Railway High School, Moghalpura, Lahore and both of them passed Matric from this school in 1964 and 1965 respectively. Nawaz Sharif got addmission in the Government College of Lahore. He obtained his B.A. degree after appearing in the supplementary examination. He claimed that he passed his Bachelor of Law degree from the Punjab University Law College, also in Lahore. He, however session he attended is unknown. Nawaz Sharif is a joint owner of Ittefaq Group. Ittefaq Group is one of the largest business conglomerates in Pakistan. He helped establish the Ittefaq Islamic Academy in Lahore, where students receive religious instruction in addition to their secular training. A practicing Moslem, Sharif comes from a religious family and has said he would make the teaching of the Quraan, the Muslim Holy Book, a compulsory subject up to the secondary level. Like studies, Sharif was also interested in cricket as well. He did appear in one 1st class match from Pakistan Railway against Karachi in 1974 where he scored a 'duck'.
Sharif and his male cousins expanded their family iron foundry only to lose it to a 1972 nationalization policy launched by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. It was re-established in 1977 as Ittefaq Industries in Lahore. The business was returned after Sharif developed political links with President Mohammad Zia ul-Haq. It was General Zia who brought down Bhutto in 1977, executing him two years later on charges of conspiracy. By 1990, Ittefaq Industries was one of Pakistan's most affluent conglomerates, with more than $450 million in annual revenues, up from about $16 million in 1981. It included the country's largest private steel mill, Ittefaq Foundries (Pvt) Ltd, eight sugar mills, and four textile factories. Sharif's net worth is around US$ 4 billion, considered as one of the wealthiest individual. With upwards of hundred thousand employees, Ittefaq has played a significant role in the development and growth of industry in Pakistan. It has likely influenced Sharif's political career and pro-business stance as well.

Signal compliance testing
congatec ready for 3rd Generation of High-Speed serial bus architectures
Introduction to signal compliance testing
It is nice to think of a PCB trace as simply the ideal route that a signal takes from a transmitter to a receiver and, at low data rates, this is a reasonable concept. At the data rates new-generation serial standards operate, additional physical phenomena are affecting signal integrity and need to be taken into account. All conductors in the signal path, including circuit board traces, vias, connectors and cabling, must be taken into account as transmission line effects can create return losses and reflections that degrade signal levels, introduce skew, and add noise.
Faster transition times, shorter unit intervals (UIs), impedance mismatches and noise sources in the frequency domain, contribute more to bit error rates which means a required change in one's view of "digital" design. Engineers need to take a fresh look at their strategies for connectivity, pattern generation, receiver-side testing, data acquisition, and analysis. Coupling these issues with evolving new standards and tighter compliance testing requirements creates a tougher job for companies to quickly get their products to market.
Across the electronics industry, serial bus standards for multiple purposes have been developed to address the needs of their markets and customers. A key objective of these standards is to enable interoperability with architectures across a wide range of products offered by a host of vendors.
Each specification defines attributes that products must comply with to meet the standard's requirements. The specification defines electrical and mechanical parameters that need to be fulfilled. Interconnects need to not only comply with time and voltage requirements in the time domain, but also to losses in the frequency domain. The governing body issues standardized tests that products must pass in order to comply with the standard.
Having access to compliance measurements is required for the designer of cutting-edge solutions. They help to address potential design issues early in the design cycle and give confidence in design margins relative to the required specifications. With each new standard, comes a set of new requirements. Historically a design was commonly verified by doing transmitter compliance tests under the assumption that the receiver signal path would show a similar behavior. For new interfaces, the specification explicitly asks for receiver tests as well. While transmit signal quality is a simple and straight forward process, the receiver tests require different hardware and new test concepts. In order to ensure full compatibility and to provide the best quality, congatec invested in hardware and software that performs receiver testing.

3* passages taken from Agilent Technologies White Paper:
'Crossing the Digital-Analog Divide'
congatec goes with Agilent Technologies
After a long and intensive selection process, congatec chose Agilent Technologies. Agilent Technologies' offering is the best in today's compliance measurement equipment.
Below are some of the reasons why:
- Agilent offers a fast and flexible solution for compliance test and characterization
The Agilent test automation software 'Valiframe' is a powerful platform for serial and multi-lane gigabit interface bus testing. It can operate in a simplified and intuitive 'Compliance Mode' or in 'Expert Mode', allowing manual parameter control which is important for characterization and debugging
- The hardware is used worldwide for reference measurement
Certified test labs, such as Allion, Granit River Labs, Testronic Lab, etc. are using Agilent's Transmitter Compliance Receiver and TDR test solutions. Agilent is offering test solutions that are certified for SATA-IO, PCIe SIG and USB IF and documented in Methods-of-Implementations (MOI)
- Complete jitter tolerance test for embedded and forwarded clock devices
The J-BERT N4903B is designed to match serial bus standards optimally with its differential I/Os, variable voltage levels on most outputs, built-in jitter and ISI, pattern sequencer, reference clock outputs, tunable CDR, pattern capture and bit recovery mode to analyze clock-less and non-deterministic patterns. SER/FER analysis allows jitter tolerance testing of devices using retimed loopback. A second data output with independent pattern memory and PRBS can be used as an aggressor channel for crosstalk tests, or when adding channels externally for OOB timing tests or emulation of 3-level signals or signal de-emphasis
- The industry's highest real-time scope measurement accuracy
When you're designing with faster signals, shrinking eyes and tighter jitter budgets mean that errors introduced by your oscilloscopes can seriously impact your measurement results. The Agilent Infiniium 90000 X-Series scopes deliver the highest measurement accuracy available by offering the following characteristics:
- True analog bandwidth to 33 GHz
- Lowest oscilloscope noise floor (2.25 mV at 50 mV/div,33 GHz)
- Lowest jitter measurement floor (100 fs)
Having the cleanest analog bandwidth and lowest noise floor available, results in better spectral analysis of transients and wide-bandwidth RF signals.
- Looking forward to 4th Generation of High-Speed serial bus architectures
The J-BERT N4903B and the DSA-X91604A are long-term investments which are configurable for today's test and budget requirements and allow for upgrades and retrofits of all options and full speed when test needs change. With this in mind, congatec is looking forward to next generation High-Speed serial bus interfaces like thunderbolt.
- congatec cooperates with EKH - EyeKnowHow as fast and flexible partner
Detailed know-how is required for a perfect implementation of "high speed serial interfaces". Each design is a new challenge because of higher speeds or different topologies to implement. Although following a design guide is good, it is not always possible. Sometimes it is difficult to judge where you can deviate from a design guide without generating functional issues in your design. Other times, you have to violate the design guide to be able to implement the design at all. In this case, you might want to gain back the lost margin in other areas of your design. And of course, if you have enough margins and know them, you can reduce cost/power or improve performance of your system with an optimized design implementation.
"EyeKnowHow" is a fast and flexible partner for congatec providing the know-how, simulation, and measurement resources as required.
congatec offers their know-how and equipment to customers
With the latest big investment in compliance measurements/testing, congatec offers its customers the ability to qualify their designs to meet the standard requirements of the following high-speed serial busses:

When asking for more information on a question or answer, it's not uncommon to see something along the lines of "Let me just use my crystal ball" or another such remark, to indicate that the person asking the question (which is the more common instance of this) or providing an answer needs to give more information or code because the question or answer simply does not give the information needed, probably skirting around important chunks of code.
Is there a better way to ask for more information? Perhaps a system could be implemented in which a viewing user can "request" more information, users who request more information are displayed on the question or answer as having done so and the user who asked or answered is notified. When the question or answer is updated, everyone who requested more information is notified as well.

Was Gameloft's The Amazing Spider-Man game too bright and cheery for you? Get ready to stalk villains from the shadows and do lots of brooding then, because there's a Batman in town. The Dark Knight Rises for Xbox Windows Phone 8 is here! Not surprisingly, it requires phones with 1 GB of RAM, so lower memory devices like the Lumia 620 will have to remain crime-ridden for the time being.
The Dark Knight Rises is based on the 2012 Christopher Nolan film that is so good, it's frankly unprofessional to criticize it (I kid). The masked mumbler known as Bane has taken Gotham City hostage, forcing Batman to come out of retirement.
Quick gameplay impressions
If you played Amazing Spider-Man a couple of weeks ago, you'll feel right at home with The Dark Knight Rises. Just like Gameloft's previous superhero game, this is an open-world adventure in which Batman can explore Gotham City at will, stopping random crimes in progress with his fists of justice.
Combat works as you'd expect – just mash on the attack button to pull off fancy moves. Batman does get a lot of wonderful toys to do battle with, such as batarangs, smoke grenades, and a grapnel gun. After completing a few story missions, Batman he even gains access to the Bat Pod motorcycle-thing so that he can travel the city in style. Considering the addictive nature of free-roaming games and the game's leveling system, it's safe to say that Batman fans should find a lot to enjoy here.
Time to clear some space
Like Gameloft's other graphically intensive games, The Dark Knight Rises is a large download. Thankfully it's not as large as the massive Android version as I feared. The Windows Phone 8 game is 774 MB, a fair bit larger than Amazing Spider-Man's 565 MB but not as hefty as the 878 MB Asphalt 7 download. You'll need about 5 GB of free space to install it due to Windows Phone restrictions.
The Dark Knight Rises costs $6.99, just like the iOS and Android versions. Console-like games such as this don't come cheap, but at least they offer lots of bang for your buck. Get it here at the Windows Phone Store.
Thanks to Rocket Riot and Mark Tepper for the tippage!

For the last few months, I have been embarking on an exercise routine. This routine is nothing rigorous, but it is enough to stay healthy and physically active. Want to know what I've noticed during this process? Nothing is more pleasant than a big breath of fresh air. Water of course is essential, and so is stretching beforehand, but a big breath of fresh air on a sunny, spring day? Yes, please! You see, each one of our cells needs a constant supply of oxygen in order to live. So what are some of the benefits of fresh air?
It's good for your digestive system
Have you heard anyone say that you should take a brisk walk after you eat? Fresh air helps you digest food more effectively. This is one of the best kept secrets when it comes to losing weight.
It improves your heart rate and blood pressure
If you are experiencing problems with blood pressure, try your best to avoid polluted environments by staying in surroundings that have a steady supply of fresh air. A dirty environment forces your body to work harder to get the amount of oxygen it requires.
It cleans your lungs
Fresh air improves the cleansing action of your lungs and helps your airways to dilate more fully. Every time you exhale through your lungs, you release airborne toxins from your body. Conversely, dirty air clogs your lungs with harmful airborne toxins which can lead to respiratory illnesses over time.
Fresh Air makes you happy
Serotonin can lighten your mood and promote a feeling of well-being and happiness. Few people know that the amount of serotonin is affected by the amount of oxygen you breathe in through your lungs. Fresh air leaves you feeling more relaxed and refreshed. Who couldn't use that?
My whole point in writing this blog is to say that everyone needs to breathe in more fresh air. Unfortunately, many live in areas where air pollution chokes the "freshness" out of what you're breathing. Before you know it, your lungs are covered in filth. That's not a pleasant image, but fresh air can be a reality in our lives, and it all starts in the home.
Regularly changing your home air filters is perhaps most important for greater home air quality. Furnace filters improve indoor air quality by removing the airborne contaminants that lessens air quality (such as pollen and dust mites). An air filter is a simple (yet undervalued) home appliance that can provide benefits to your respiratory health that you wouldn't believe. I'll put it to you this way: your health will be a lot better off with an air filter than without one. Browse through our complete collection of furnace filters, find your size and place your order. This is one of the most important steps for fresh indoor air.
What are some other ways for fresh air? An air purifier is a smart option, along with improving the ventilation in your home (open your windows regularly and avoid stuffy rooms). When you're outside, try to avoid car exhaust and high polluted areas. Fresh air is just what the doctor ordered.

BOULDER--E Source, a locally based firm that provides consulting services to utilities and large energy users, has started the build-out of its new headquarters facility in Boulder.
E Source is outfitting a 23,625-square-foot space at 1715 38th St. in central Boulder. The initial valuation of the construction contract is upward of $2 million, according to permits recently approved by the city of Boulder.
The impetus for E Source's planned move from a similarly sized office at 1965 N. 57th Court is so that the firm can "walk the talk," said Wendy Bloechle, spokeswoman.
"We specialize in energy-efficiency research ... we wanted a more efficient workspace," she said.
The move allows the privately held E Source to gut and renovate the new space to its liking, she said. This includes adding elements such as LED lighting, Solatubes to let in natural sunlight, variable-speed supply fans in the air-conditioning system and condensing instantaneous water heaters, Jay Stein, E Source's executive vice president, wrote last week on the company's blog.
"We're also expecting the open floor plan of our new space to foster more interaction and collaboration among staff and departments that currently are housed in separate wings of our current space," Stein wrote.
The roughly 75-person operation expects to move in February, Bloechle said.

A 'dark' shoujo manga like Heart no Kuni no Alice?
Hi all,
I almost never touch the shoujo/reverse harem genre, but I picked up Heart no Kuni no Alice and ended up really liking it. Unfortunately, it ended far too soon... so I'm wondering if there's anything else similar out there? It's hard to specify what I liked about it, but I'll try:
1) Although it was shoujo, it was also bloody and dark. People were trigger-happy, the setting was mysterious and Alice herself had an unhappy past.
2) Despite that, the characters still had lots of warm interactions which made me laugh, sort of like Ouran high school host club, another one I've really liked.
3) Alice wasn't the typical shoujo heroine - she spoke exactly what was on her mind, didn't cry too much, got mad and occasionally hit some of the guys. O_O
That's... really not much to go off, I know. And I know about Vampire Knight already - I've read most of it, but the story got too convoluted and I wanted to kill Yuuki by the end, so I've dropped it.
If anyone knows anything good, I'd be very grateful!!

Hmm... no, I'm not really into Sailor Moon-esque super girlyness. Revolutionary girl Utena looks sorta interesting...a maybe, but not exactly what I was after. I guess there's not much out there that meets such criteria in the shoujo genre? I think I was just hoping to find a female lead in a fantasy world for a change, as almost everything I read has a male lead. Maybe there's something out there in the manga-verse...?

Hmm... ok, Claymore looks interesting, definitely putting on my list. Thanks! I tried the first few chapters of Limit, too... but eh... too many girl issues and insecurities. I'm not identifying well with the main char, I would have just found a large stick and slapped the main antagonist right then and there. Violence solves everything! XD
