Heroes Renewed for a Fourth Season, Glee to Premiere in May After American Idol
TV News: More (But Less) Heroes, and Glee Gets a Tryout
A couple of TV news tidbits worth noting today:
- Maybe you heard about the Greg Grunberg Twitter update that got people all worried that Heroes wouldn't be back for a fourth season (even though he clarified immediately) — or maybe you've just been following the show's sinking ratings and wondering if it might not return to NBC's lineup in the Fall. Well, no worries: NBC plans to order up another season of Heroes — albeit a slightly shorter one. The network will probably ask for 18 to 20 episodes of the series this time around (the first season had 23, the current season 25). The post-apocalyptic pilot Day One is one candidate to fill the time slot when Heroes isn't airing.
- Fox's Glee — which just yesterday added Kristin Chenoweth and Victor Garber in recurring roles — is getting itself a pretty high-profile tryout on Fox's schedule, but then it'll go back on the shelf for several months. The show's first episode will air after the final American Idol performance show on May 19, but then the rest of the episodes won't air till Fall. It's definitely an unusual way to roll out a series, but maybe it'll keep people talking about Glee all Summer long the way I've been since I saw the pilot in January. I just hope people don't forget about it in the intervening months!
- Shonda Rhimes's Inside the Box pilot has found its star: British actress Indira Varma will play the show's lead, the "fast-talking, whip-smart and wound a little too tight for her own good" Catherine. She previously appeared in HBO's Rome.

The only ways to get a stranger to hold your hand for an hour are to schedule a manicure or to exploit a crossing guard's sense of duty. This Groupon is an opportunity for human contact.
Choose from Three Options
- $35 for one spa mani-pedi with a cup of tea (an $85 value)
- $29 for one traditional mani-pedi with OPI polish (a $60 value)
- $54 for two traditional mani-pedis with OPI polish (a $120 value)

During the traditional mani-pedi, technicians groom nails and cuticles before exfoliating skin, massaging hands and feet, and applying OPI polish. The spa mani-pedi takes pampering a step further with a warm mask treatment and aromatic paraffin-wax dip.

BeauOne Salon
The technicians at BeauOne Salon strive to honor the most hardworking parts of the body with hand and foot therapies that are both cosmetic and curative. They augment mani-pedis with frills such as paraffin wax and warm, exfoliating masks, using multivitamins and aromatherapy to soften rough skin. The offerings range from utilitarian—the Rugged Man treatment simply prunes nails and massages limbs—to playfully artsy, with animal prints and polka dots of polish decorating big toes. Hairstylists also helm stations between the salon's pale-blue walls. They trim, highlight, and color locks with the aid of organic products, and they compose special updos for weddings or the annual Sack of Rome.

PARRAMATTA produced one of the most inept performances in the NRL club's proud history as local rivals Penrith embarrassed the Eels on their home turf with a 39-6 thumping last night.
Without a win in 2012, the Eels were booed from the field as they headed to the half-time break down 23-0, the only thing saving them from similar treatment at full-time being the fact most fans had already departed.
And it was one of their own that did most of the damage, former Eel Etu Uaisele scoring a hat-trick in the seven-tries-to-one rout.
The nature of the defeat is sure to increase pressure on coach Stephen Kearney, with Panthers playmaker Luke Walsh having a field day against an Eels defence that resembled a rabble for much of the contest.
The Panthers - themselves embarrassed at home by South Sydney last week - were clinical, though it was hard to judge just how good they were against a team that barely looked up to NRL standards.
Parramatta enjoyed the better of the opening 10 minutes, thanks to a series of penalties piggybacking them out of their own half. But when Uaisele scored his first of the night with Penrith's first crack at the opposition line, the writing was on the wall.
Four tries came in just 13 minutes as Penrith kept attacking the youthful Eels' right-edge defence, Michael Jennings crossing before Uaisele went over again.
Parramatta knew it wasn't its night when Nathan Hindmarsh was brushed off by Walsh, who passed for Lachlan Coote to make it 22-0 after 26 minutes.
The razzing by the home fans after Travis Burns had added an uncontested field goal on the half-time hooter didn't have the desired affect, with Walsh setting up Brad Tighe for a try seven minutes after the restart.
Parramatta's only joy came when Reni Maitua went over under the posts 11 minutes from time.

Why in the world have I waited till the day your Libra gets its nihil obstat from Christopher Lemondrop* to send you a note.
Illa arcem Belinam, hc altera arcem Thetin ex mercenari pecuni, nihil enim gratuito faciebant, dificandam curavit.
But if hostilities are happily averted, with what propriety can it be said that nihil fit?
nihil necesse est mihi de me ipso dicere, quamquam est id quidem senile aetatique nostrae conceditur.
nihil humanum a me alienum puto; I am curious about even John Smith.
Caesar dando, sublevando, ignoscendo, Cato nihil largiundo gloriam adeptus est.
nihil humani a me alienum puto has been his own as well as his hospital's motto.
Their warmth of human sympathy, their "nihil alienum" attitude; nay!
On the other hand, the nihil privativum and ens imaginarium are empty data for conceptions.
nihil tetigit quod non ornavit, and the scent of the Lang y Lang, is over all periodical literature generally.
Latin, literally "nothing" (see nil). Phrase nihil obstat "nothing stands in the way" printed on first pages of a Catholic work indicates its official approval.

… and what does it mean?
When one of our nutrition experts recently spoke about a child being "constitutionally thin", I figured this must be nutritionist speak, as I had never heard the term. Given how many of our readers write in with questions and concerns about their skinny kids, I know parents are curious to know more. So, I sat down with ZisBoomBah's own Lisa Lanzano, MS, RD to dig deeper. Constitutional thinness is an actual clinical condition. Learn more about the diagnosis from our expert.
A child who is constitutionally thin usually has a low but stable (not fluctuating) body mass index (BMI) without any hormonal abnormality, malnutrition or other health concerns that would explain her low weight. (To learn what is a healthy BMI for your child, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.) Though constitutional thinness is very different from anorexia nervosa, the condition is not without risk (e.g., low bone mineral density could be a concern). What's more, it is important for your pediatrician to skillfully distinguish between your child being constitutionally thin and being at risk for developing an eating disorder.
Read: Picky Eating or Eating Disorder? Know the difference and when to get help
Essentially, constitutional thinness is a clinical diagnosis, after all other issues appear normal, including your child's psychological profile. "Look for an obvious genetic link," Lisa advised parents who may be concerned. Genetic predisposition, however, may not be immediately obvious. Look beyond the parents and at your extended family; a skinny uncle your haven't heard from in a decade?
After you have ruled out any health issues with your constitutionally thin child and you still need your skinny kid to put on a few pounds, Lisa has great tips on healthy weight gain.

NEW YORK (AP) Shoppers persevered at the nation's stores and malls in August, buying skinny jeans and other back-to-school fashions and giving many retailers solid sales for the month. The outlook for the rest of the year nonetheless remained unclear amid higher energy costs and interest rates and a deteriorating housing market.
As merchants reported their results Thursday, the winners included Wal-Mart (WMT), Federated Department Stores (FD), Limited Brands (LTD), as well as teen retailers Bebe (BEBE) and Wet Seal (WTSLA), J.C. Penney (JCP) was among the big disappointments and Gap (GPS) again struggled with its fashions.
Overall, "the early signs are that back-to-school is doing better than expected," said Jharonne Martis, an analyst at Thomson Financial. "Parents have budgeted for back-to-school. There is no stopping the consumer."
According to Thomson Financial, of the 40 retailers that have reported same-store results so far, 21 beat estimates, while 19 missed. Same-store sales are sales at stores open at least a year and are considered a key measure of a retailer's health.
The solid performance in August — a time when stores aim to do the bulk of their back-to-school business — is comforting as many analysts expect a consumer spending slowdown in the second half; their concerns were heightened after June's sales stalled but business rebounded in July, helped by clearance sales of summer goods. After a slow start, business in August gained momentum even as concerns increased about the consumer's resilience.
Last week, the Commerce Department reported that sales of new homes dropped in July by the largest amount since February while the inventory of unsold homes climbed to a record high.
According to the latest snapshot of the job market, hiring slowed in July as employers added just 113,000 jobs. That pushed the unemployment rate to a five-month high of 4.8% and provided more evidence that companies are growing more cautious amid high energy prices, though they have retreated recently.
Such bad news about the economy, particularly the job market, weighed on consumers in August, causing their confidence to tumble even more than expected to its lowest level in nine months, according to the Conference Board.
Wal-Mart, which benefited from a more focused back-to-school advertising campaign aimed directly at teens, had a 2.7% gain in same-store sales. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expected a 2. 5% gain.
"We saw sales momentum for the August period build throughout the month. Our customers focused spending on food, consumables and items for back to school," said Tom Schoewe, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Wal-Mart.
Penney posted a 0.5% decline in same-store sales in its department store business, below the 1.8% increase analysts had expected.
Women's accessories were among Penney's best-performing women's categories. The company, however, had weaker sales of big ticket items, particularly furniture, which was up against stronger sales gains a year ago.
Federated, which acquired May Department Stores, last year, had a 3.8% gain in same-store sales, slightly better than the 4.0% Wall Street expected. Same-store sales include only Macy's and Bloomingdale's. On Sept. 9, Federated will be converting most former May Department Stores locations to the Macy's brand.
Nordstrom (JWN) said its same-store sales rose 7.1%; analysts expected a 3.3% gain.
Limited had a 9% gain in same-store sales, better than the 6.2% estimate from analysts.
Gap, dragged down by business at its namesake stores and Old Navy, had a 2% decline in same-store sales, though that was better than the 3.4% decline analysts had expected.
"While we were pleased by our progress at Banana Republic and by total company merchandise margins that were above last year, August results at Gap and Old Navy were disappointing," said Sabrina Simmon, senior vice president, treasury and investor relations at Gap in a statement.
Teen retailers generally had a good performance. Bebe had a 12.5% gain in same-store sales, better than the 11.4% analysts projected.
Wet Seal, which operates stores under both Wet Seal and Arden B., had a 8.7% gain in same-store sales in August, better than the 7.0% forecast. But teen retailer Pacific Sunwear of California (PSUN) struggled with a 9.4% drop in same-store sales, worse than the 4.6% decline Wall Street estimated.
On Wednesday, Costco (COST) reported a 5% increase in same-store sales, missing the 5.7% estimate. The wholesale club operator issued the sales report as it warned that fourth-quarter profit would be below analysts' estimates, as sales on items like jewelry and furniture slowed and the company struggled with higher gas prices.

A rare export from Vietnam, The Lady Assassin is a classic martial arts romp in the old Shaw Brothers vein. Employing a simple plot and serviceable martial arts, Nguyen Quang Dung's romantic fantasy is buoyed up by an eye-popping cast of gorgeous performers.
It is a rare treat when a film from Vietnam breaks free of its domestic shackles and heads out into international waters. Earlier this month we heard that the eagerly anticipated Cho Lon from ScreenAnarchy favourite Johnny Nguyen had failed to pass the local censorship board, and as a result was forbidden from being screened either on home turf or overseas. No such problems for Nguyen Quang Dung's The Lady Assassin (aka My Nhan Ke), however, which broke box office records when it opened over the Tet (Lunar New Year) Holiday back in February.
In the remote, shoreline Duong Son Tavern, the beautiful landlady Kieu Thi (Thanh Hang) lures weary travellers, bandits and officials into her establishment with the help of her three stunning hostesses. But rather than sell themselves, the girls rob and murder their guests, hording a growing pile of gold for a rainy day.
In their latest haul, however, the women discover the bound and desperate Linh Lan (Tang Thanh Ha) hidden in a coffin. She begs them to spare her life and train her in martial arts, so she can kill evil general Quan Du, who murdered her family. Kieu Thi agrees, and takes Linh Lan under her wing, but it soon transpires not everyone is who they originally claimed to be.
The plot of The Lady Assassin is pretty by-the-numbers, yet also effective, setting up a quintet of feisty independent women, evil outlaws, corrupt officials and plenty of dark secrets, which all come to a head in the film's tragic climax. Along the way there are petty rivalries between the girls, misunderstandings, communal bath times and numerous training sequences as Linh Lan hones her martial arts skills, while simultaneously learning the trade of being a sexy seductress. There's even time amidst all this for a brief musical number.
While a Shaw Brothers film from the 1980s would have been packed full of memorable wuxia action, director Nguyen duly embraces the limitations of his cast, while fully cashing in on their more bankable qualities. The Lady Assassin, as its title might suggest, does include plenty of action in its brisk 90-odd minutes, but its fight scenes are largely assisted by wirework and CGI, and can't be praised as anything more than adequate.
Where The Lady Assassin excels however, is in just how damn beautiful it is. The film is slickly put together, but all five of its central femmes fatales are drop dead gorgeous, and actively looking to accentuate that fact whenever they are on screen - which fortunately, is pretty much the entire film. It is disconcerting just how attractive these women are, and as a result, seeing them seduce dangerous bandits, perform acrobatic feats of athleticism and wield swords with a deadly purpose for so much of the film's runtime, doesn't avail much opportunity for criticism.
While this marks the first time Vietnam has released a 3D wuxia film (the first 3D release being 2011's The High School Ghosts), I saw the film in 2D so cannot comment on that particular aspect of the production. That aside, The Lady Assassin is a simple, unremarkable, yet wholly appreciable piece of work, albeit one that's never going to be labelled a genre classic. However, The Lady Assassin is more than comparable to plenty of Hong Kong and China's recent output, and there is a proven audience for seeing beautiful women give evil men a good arse-kicking, and in that regard, The Lady Assassin is entirely successful.
The Lady Assassin 3D opens at the Regal Garden Grove 16 Theater in Garden Grove, California on 28 June.

Another Health Care Delay
"The administration has quietly announced that it was delaying through October 2016 the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate for millions of Americans who have lost their healthcare coverage… Political consultant Dick Morris says the effect of this announcement with all the other Obamacare delays means that the act has now effectively been repealed." – Newsmax 3-13-2014
Americans Have Been Hurt
Many Americans have lost the good insurance policies they had and are having trouble getting coverage that is even remotely comparable.
"State insurance commissioners and insurance companies must decide whether to offer plans that have already been canceled — and many have objected to the latest extension.
Also, many Americans have since been forced to find new policies, often facing higher premiums and deductibles or reduced coverage." – Newsmax 3-13-14
Obamacare has cost America a lot. The incompetence of this president and this administration is "coming home to roost." We are getting what we voted for. Our hope for the future is that the voters will learn their lesson. They better research their presidential candidates better the next time they vote.

The Obama Lies Told
This administration is telling us lies. Just look at the job numbers. Every week they forge the numbers a little bit to make things look better then they truly are.
The Labor Department has now revised upward its first estimate of seasonally adjusted claims in 56 of the past 57 weeks, a Dow Jones analysis of claims reports found. Revisions to government data occur on a regular basis but it is uncommon for numbers to nearly always be restated in the same direction.
– Wall Street Journal – 16 April 2012
When the "revisions" are made, it doesn't make the press. So the public does not know the whole story.
Fewer Jobs
"The economy has 5.2 million fewer jobs now than it did four years ago, even as the population has grown." – Wall Street Journal, March 9, 2012

You didn't build that!
Barack Obama, in his July 13th, 2012 speech, told business owners that they are not the people responsible for building their businesses. Eight out of ten businesses in the United States are small businesses. And they have succeeded in spite of government, NOT as a result of government.
Our under educated president needs to understand a very important point. Government is here as a result of the people. Government is here as a result of businesses. Neither are here as a result of government.
Barack Obama has never built anything. He is a destroyer of hopes and dreams.

While in Michigan on December 10, 2012, Barack Obama spoke out against the Michigan right to work law. He said "These so-called right-to-work laws, they don't have anything to do with economics; they have everything to do with politics."
" What they're really talking about is giving you the right to work for less money." (BBC News 12/12012)
This is further proof that Obama has no concept how the economy works, no concept of supply and demand, and no concept of people will to give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.
Detroit is paying a price for charging all of us too much for our vehicles for several decades. With their current unemployment rate at 18.1% (after almost 4 years of the Obama presidency) they are getting what they deserve.

Obama's Leadership
Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
Barack Obama is not capable of leading a small business or a small organization. If you have doubts about that then simply look at Obama's resume. This man has no experience leading people. That's not exaggerated. It's a simple fact.
He purchased his presidency by making promises to the poor he hasn't kept. Now they have been devastated. He has purchased votes for the coming election by buying the auto manufacturers in Detroit and gaining full backing of the labor unions. How many times can the American public fall for this man's lies?

Do we really know what the unemployment rate is? Week after week the estimate made by the White House is getting revised upwards. The unemployment rate is worse then they say it is. The Obama administration is not telling us the truth.
They Don't Know What An "Estimate" Is
When a true estimate is made on anything, the final results will are as likely to show the revision go up as they are likely to show the revision go down. With revisions made to Obama's estimates, the revisions have shown a worse rate than the one estimated by the administration in 60 of the last 61 weeks. This is statistically impossible. Obama and his administration is lying to us every day.

The American public has started the shouting from their windows, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it any more!" (The movie "Nework" – 1976). And the loudest call yet has come from Wisconsin. In that state Scott Walker became the first to governor in US history to survive a recall election. The conservative won by a greater margin then he enjoyed in the initial election in 2010. By then, Americans were aware that they had made a big mistake by embracing "hope and change" policies. With support of the press and weeks of massive protests at the Statehouse, the liberals still suffered an historic defeat.
Mitt Romney was quoted as saying "Governor Walker has demonstrated over the past year what sound fiscal policies can do to turn an economy around, and I believe that in November voters across the country will demonstrate that they want the same in Washington". The key question here is: Will Romney remember this after he is elected?
The conservatives have spoken and shown their strength in Wisconsin. They have spoken out against unions. They have spoken out against excess government spending. They have spoken out for conservative fiscal policies. They have spoken out for America!
Next stop…. Obama!

In his seminal work, Nichomachean Ethics, the philosopher Aristotle begins his meditation on the subject of morality and the ultimate end of human life with an observation that certain first principles of ethics are self-evident to a person who has been raised up in a virtuous manner. A good man simply "knows" certain things to be good and others evil. A person raised up in vice, however, has a distorted sense of the good. He is incapable of reasoning towards ethical ends because his moral foundation is corrupted.

For people of faith in America, the Obama administration's birth control mandate represents an unprecedented assault on religious conscience. It seems that the President and his surrogates have little appreciation for the role that faith plays in the lives of many Americans, and even less respect for the Constitution's protection of religious liberty.

Shrinking helium reserves may threaten more than kids' play

The element that lifts things like balloons, spirits and voice ranges is being depleted so quickly that the world's largest reserve—in Texas—is expected to run out of it by 2015, scientists say. This would deflate more than the Goodyear blimp and party favors. Its larger impact is on science and technology, according to Lee Sobotka of Washington University in St. Louis. "helium's use in science is extremely broad, but its most important use is as a coolant,†said Sobotka, a specialist in nuclear chemistry and physics who collaborates with researchers at several national laboratories. Larger helium consumers, such as these, generally are equipped to recycle it, Sobotka said; not so for many smaller-scale users. Yet "helium is non-renewable and irreplaceable,†as it can't be manufactured in significant amounts, Sobotka said. "All should make better efforts to recycle it.†helium's applications, he added, include nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectroscopy, welding, fiber optics and computer microchip production. NASA uses large amounts to pressurize space shuttle fuel tanks. Drift away The helium on Earth has built up over billions of years from the decay, or disintegration, of the natural elements uranium and thorium, Sobotka said. The process occurs in super-slow motion, he added. For example, the uranium variant, or isotope, uranium-238 is particularly important for helium production. In Earth's entire life span, Sobotka said, only half of the uranium-238 atoms have decayed, each yielding eight helium atoms. As uranium and thorium decay, some of the helium is trapped along with natural gas deposits in certain geological formations, Sobotka said. Some of the produced helium seeps out of the Earth's mantle and drifts into the atmosphere, where there is about five parts per million of helium. This helium, along with any let into the atmosphere by users, drifts up and is eventually lost to Earth. "When we use what has been made over the approximate 4.5 billion of years the Earth has been around, we will run out,†Sobotka said . "We cannot get too significant quantities of helium from the sun — which can be viewed as a helium factory 93 million miles away — nor will we ever produce helium in anywhere near the quantities we need from Earth-bound factories.†Nuclear reactors can make some helium, but not nearly enough, he added. Unlike any other element, ordinary helium, which contains two protons and two neutrons, becomes a liquid below the temperature 4.2 Kelvin. That's just four celsius degrees above the lowest temperature possible, called absolute zero. When one puts an object next to liquid helium, energy is extracted from the object, making it colder. The energy extracted from the object vaporizes the helium. It is this helium vapor which, Sobotka claims, should always be recaptured, to be recycled for future use. Much of the world's helium supply lies in a reserve outside Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle. It's an area better known for the locales of Larry McMurtry's novels, such as "The Last Picture Show,†and "Texasville,†than as an elemental factory farm. Scientists haven't even approached mining helium out of the air because costs are too prohibitive, Sobotka said. A rebel, a loner Both hydrogen and helium, the first two elements on the Periodic Table of Elements, are abundant in the universe (about 92 percent and about 8 percent of the atoms, respectively). But helium is rare on Earth. That's because helium is a rebel, a loner that doesn't normally combine with other atoms, as hydrogen does, Sobotka said. "It's the most 'noble' of gases, meaning it's very stable and non-reactive for the most part,†Sobotka said. Elements combine by sharing electrons, the subatomic particles that carry electric charge. But helium is "a very tightly bound atom†that clings closely to its electrons, preventing such partnerships, he explained. In addition to the Texas panhandle, helium can be found in small regions of Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma, Sobotka said. It's marketed in Australia and Algeria. And Russia has the world's largest reserves of natural gas, where helium certainly exists. But there is no push to market it, as for the short term, supplies are adequate, though increasingly costly. Sobotka believes that Russia will be the world's major source in 30 years. Liquid helium costs about $5 per liter, having gone up more than 50 percent over the past year as demand gradually outstrips the supplies, he said. He cited the withdrawal of some companies from the marketplace, and the emergence of others not yet in production, as the driving force behind higher prices. Helium capture in the United States began after World War I, when the primary use of the gas was for dirigibles. Because helium is non-flammable, its use in balloons prevented a repeat of the 1937 Hindenburg tragedy, in which a German airship burst into flames. The U.S. government ran the helium industry for 70 years, but since the mid-90s it has been in the domain of the oil and natural gas industries. Tell it like it is "The government had the good vision to store helium, and the question now is: Will industry have the vision to capture it when extracting natural gas, and consumers the wisdom to capture and recycle?†Sobotka said. "This takes long-term vision because present market forces are not sufficient to compel prudent practice.†Helium plays second fiddle to marketing oil and natural gas, Sobotka continued: much of it is lost in a process that removes noncombustible nitrogen and helium from the product of prime interest. "When they stick that straw into the ground to suck out oil and gas, the helium comes out, and if it doesn't get captured it drifts into the atmosphere and is lost,†Sobotka said. "Helium production is a side industry to oil and natural gas, an endeavor that nobody wants to lose money on.†Laboratories worldwide could make better attempts at conserving helium, he said. They can either use costly machines called liquefiers that can capture, store and reliquefy helium on site, or researchers can take captured helium in gas form, return it to the company that originally sold it to them and receive a monetary return, just as in a deposit on a bottle. "We have to be thinking of these things,†he said. "Up to now, the issue often hasn't risen to the level that it's important. It's a problem for the next generation of scientists.â€

Palmistry is a science and a universal language. The hand tells a story about your talents, relationships, health, and how you feel about yourself. It reveals periods of ease or challenge in your life, and it speaks about your weaknesses and the traits you need to develop. As you change, so do your hands, reflecting the progress you have made.
In this comprehensive guide to hand reading, based on Ellen Goldberg's 40 years of teaching palmistry and the Western Mystery tradition, the authors make the powerful insights of the hand accessible in an inviting and user-friendly manner. The book presents the character traits and personality archetypes associated with each of the seven mounts of the palm and shows how to determine which are most influential in the nature of the individual. The mount archetypes reveal the lifestyle, love, sex, and marriage preferences; the best career choices; and the unique strengths and weaknesses for each person. The book also examines other factors that enhance the qualities revealed by the mount types, including the flexibility of the hand, texture of the skin, and the shapes of the fingers, fingertips and nails. The meaning of each major and minor line is described in detail as well as the influence the person's own mind has in healing defects and obstacles found on their lines. The authors also provide accurate timing guides for each line, making it possible to locate specific events and to see how your lines change over time.
Presenting the hand as a guide to self-fulfillment, The Art and Science of Hand Reading incorporates correspondences to other mystical sciences such as astrology, Kabbalah, the Hermetic teachings, and archetypal psychology.
It also includes practical examples and more than 600 illustrations to show how to integrate the meanings of each part of the hand to form a complete picture of your inner psychology and your ever-changing destiny. Ellen Goldberg, primary author, is an internationally renowned teacher of Tarot and Palmistry. She is the founder and director of the School of Oracles and has been on the faculty of the New York Open Center since 1986. She is also a psychotherapist and has maintained a private therapy practice in New York City for more than 30 years.
Dorian Bergen, assistant author, is the co-owner of ACA Galleries in New York City. A student and practitioner of Palmistry for more than 25 years, she has a special interest in documenting how children's hands change over time.

President Harris was dumped following debate in parliament over a pay dispute among Nauru's public service, as well as other financial problems.
Mr Dowiyogo, a veteran politician, was himself replaced by Mr Harris in March 2001 after six terms in power.
There was initial confusion over whether Australia would recognise the new leader.
Acting Prime Minister John Anderson said the situation was still fluid as Mr Harris examined his legal options.
But a spokesman for Australia's Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said Canberra would recognise Mr Dowiyogo, despite Mr Harris seeking advice from his lawyers.
"President Dowiyogo has just been sworn in and we're congratulating him," he said.
Labor foreign affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd said the dumping reflected tensions over the Pacific Solution.
"We need to be concerned as a nation if the political policies of this government are bringing about political instability within our neighbours in the south-west Pacific," he told ABC Radio.
But Mr Anderson said Australia would not be commenting on another country's internal affairs.
"The matter of the government of Nauru is for the people of Nauru, not for Australia," he said.
"We will obviously seek to work closely as we have in the past with those who head up that government."
Nauru's next three-yearly election is due in April.

Serious Safety Tips for Women
I'm not a paranoid traveler, but I do travel by myself often, and I take a lot of precautions. To travel without fear, we need to be savvy. I learned these tips from a woman who recently took a self-defense class. The instructor who taught her class interviewed a group of rapists in prison and learned what they look for when scoping out a woman. Here are some interesting facts:
Therefore, if you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming. These men said they will not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar objects in their hands that can be used from a distance. Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.
Several defense mechanisms
Of course the advice we always hear still applies. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

We construct classical systems that remain secure when exposed to such quantum queries. For signatures we construct two compilers that convert classically secure signatures into signatures secure in the quantum setting and apply these compilers to existing post-quantum signatures. We also show that standard constructions such as Lamport one-time signatures and Merkle signatures remain secure under quantum chosen message attacks, thus giving signatures whose quantum security is based on generic assumptions. For encryption, we define security under quantum chosen ciphertext attacks and present both public-key and symmetric-key constructions.
