Once there was a time when the experience par excellence of Jewish authenticity was a visit to Israel. In the 50's and 60's, rabbis and campaign chairmen, teachers and even youth group members could inspire their communities with their moving accounts of visits to pioneering kibbutzim, reclaimed desert, precarious border outposts. College students found models of Jewish authenticity in idealist socialist farmers; teenage girls were swept off their feet by cute soldiers, bringing home bullets as souvenirs; and middle aged couples came home full of anecdotes about their dear, dear friend, their salt-of-the-earth tour guide.
But then, after 1967, Israel lost its romance for us. The embattled underdog became a powerful conqueror, and the image of moral perfection that had held us for twenty years began to show signs of tarnish and doubt. Black and white began to fade to gray, and alas, complexity and ambivalence dont inspire commitment the way simplicity does.
And so, we turned our communal focus in another direction. Jewish history provided us with an alternative source of Jewish authenticity, unity, and inspiration: the refuseniks. In the 70's and 80's the movement to support the refuseniks grew from an outsider cause championed by rebellious students against the Jewish establishment, to the mainstream main interest. Speakers at brotherhood brunches and campaign dinners told not of their Israel adventures, but of exciting clandestine study sessions and holiday meals with their dear, dear friends in Moscow. Soviet Jewry was a cause no one could question. It linked all of our American and Jewish values, it enabled us to unite despite ideological and religious differences, it was clear cut, black and white, a good old-fashioned struggle.
But then, thank God, there was no more Soviet Union, and the issue turned to more mundane and complex questions of where to send the emigrants and how to pay for their integration - and what to do about the non-Jewish ones, and how much to invest in preserving Jewish life in the FSU.
Meanwhile, in the late 80's, a new educational wave began, offering an alternative source of authentic experience: the Holocaust, and especially tourism to the Holocaust monuments of Europe. Emotionally powerful, clearly black and white, the Holocaust and its remembrance became a powerful communal unifier (which, ironically, it hadnt been in the 40's in the American Jewish community), fundraising lever, and educational tool. And the wave continues, with Holocaust museums and memorials everywhere, the the March of the Living an established part of the educational life of many communities (as are Poland pilgrimages for Israeli 11th grade classes).
The trouble with the Holocaust education industry is that lends itself all to easily to trivialization and distortion, perhaps because its primary focus is not on idealism or on struggle but on death; perhaps because too many people use it instrumentally, as a tool, a technique, to create emotional involvement, or to justify political or ideological agendas. Once I was asked to do a one-shot study session on the Holocaust for small group of eleventh graders in Chicago, preparing to come on an Israel experience program. One of them, who had dropped out after his bar mitzvah, commented: all the years in Hebrew school, it seems like all they ever talked about was the Holocaust; the way I see it, if that is the meaining of being Jewish, then it would be better not to be Jewish; who needs it? So, while the Holocaust has a certain power to suppress rebellion and to put us in a place of clear moral high ground, it is not foolproof, and has its limits educationally.
Here in Israel, the Holocaust is even more problematic, as its study and commemoration are fraught with tensions, religious, ideological, ethnic, and political. And yet, analysis and cynical questions aside, when the siren sounds at 10 am on Yom Hashoah, everything stops, everything goes silent, and the sound comes from every direction, with an eerie power that resonates all the way to the bone.

June 4, 2013
By Edwin J. Feulner, Ph.D.
When you hear that Congress has taken up the "farm bill," what images come to mind? Farmers in overalls, driving beat-up tractors, trying to scratch out a living from the soil? A lot of politicians are counting on that.
But while this "Grapes of Wrath" scenario may be handy when it comes time to drum up support for the bill, it doesn't begin to match reality. Consider these more typical recipients of federal farm subsidies (i.e., your tax dollars):
Carter's Farms Inc., of Plains, Ga.: The farm owned by former President Jimmy Carter and his family collected $272,288 from 1995 through 2012.
Agriculture Secretary Thomas J. Vilsack: During that same period, he received $82,874 for his 592-acre farm in Davis County, Iowa.
Manhattan residents: There are no farms in one of the most urban areas on earth, but residents there have collected subsidies totaling nearly $9 million in the past seven years.
The Rockefeller family: John D. Rockefeller may have started the family fortune by founding Standard Oil in 1870, but Mark F. Rockefeller and David Rockefeller added to the coffers with $356,018 and $591,057, respectively, during the past seven years.
Sen. Chuck Grassley: The family farm of the Iowa Republican has collected $955,192 in taxpayer subsidies from 1995 through 2012.
Mary Ann Mobley: Miss America of 1959 got $142,933 for a farm in Madison County, Miss.
The top recipient of subsidies is Riceland Foods Inc., which calls itself "the world's largest miller and marketer of rice." Its haul between 1995 and 2012: $554,343,039. This is a company that reported sales of $1.16 billion during 2011-12, its fifth consecutive year of billion-plus revenues. Why are they on the dole?
You might think these are some high-profile exceptions to the norm, but that's not the case. According to the Agriculture Department's own Economic Research Service, two out of every three farms with incomes exceeding $1 million annually received an average of $54,745 in government payments in 2011.
Here's the real irony: These subsidies represent a serious threat to the farmers we all tend to picture when we think of the farm bill.
"The subsidies collected by large enterprises make it more difficult for small farms to stay in business," Heritage Foundation research fellow Diane Katz writes. "The flow of free dollars to big farms increases demand for farmland, which, in turn, raises the price of property. Smaller players and newcomers are priced out or left to compete in niche markets."
These ludicrous payments are only part of the problem, believe it or not. Consider what makes up 80 percent of the farm bill: food stamps. Yes, you read that right.
Why are they there? Sen. Thad Cochran, Mississippi Republican and ranking member of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, acknowledges that it's "purely from a political perspective. It helps get the farm bill passed."
Worse, the Agriculture Department has been pushing to get more people on food stamps. The rationale is that it stimulates states' economies, and states have been responding.
"Rhode Island hosts SNAP-themed bingo games for the elderly," The Washington Post reports. "Alabama hands out fliers that read: 'Be a patriot. Bring your food-stamp money home.' Three states in the Midwest throw food-stamp parties, where new recipients sign up en masse."
Small wonder that food-stamp enrollment has doubled under this administration. Deliberately encouraging dependency is a far cry from providing temporary help to the truly needy.
Plus, there's another benefit, from a legislative perspective. It's easier to hide pork-barrel spending in a large bill. Better to sneak in money for a special-interest project when it's embedded in a bill few people are likely to read, including lawmakers.
Will we finally shoo the rich and famous away from the federal trough, and make other changes to our nation's outdated farm policy? Or will we bring another bumper crop of subsidies to market?

Real time monitoring and planning for the weaving mill
Real time weaving monitoring and production reporting is still one of the primary functions of a MES system (Manufacturing Execution System) for a textile plant. WeaveMaster is a loom monitoring system.
Through a Graphical User Interface (GUI), WeaveMaster users are constantly informed about the actual situation in the weave room resulting in faster reactions to problems and an increased efficiency.
Powerful analysis tools allow quick identification of poor performing machines and bottlenecks in planning, resulting in an optimal usage of production capacities.
With today's small order quantities and short delivery times, scheduling has become a critical function for the textile mill. WeaveMaster offers the planning department an interactive tool allowing them to optimize loom loading based on real time information.
The Planboard is based on the production recorded by the weaving monitoring. For each of the weaving machines production orders, warp orders and pieces can be planned. Yarn requirement calculations can be linked with the logistics module for a better yarn inventory management.
The perfect integration of the Loom Monitoring and the Planboard with your ERP system is one of the strong points of WeaveMaster.

UCA awards first round of honorary degrees
The University for the Creative Arts awarded honorary degrees to Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, ceramicist Edmund de Waal and industrial designer Pradyumna Vyas at Guildford Cathedral on 29 June 2010.
During UCA Epsom's graduation ceremony, British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman OBE received a Master of Arts for her contribution to the magazine industry.
Alexandra has been editor of Vogue since April 1992. Since her arrival, the magazine's readership has risen to over a million readers thanks to creative collector's issues and big-name cover stars.
Alexandra has won numerous awards, for herself and the magazine, but arguably her biggest honour was receiving an OBE in the 2005 New Years Honours List.
Alexandra Shulman said: "It is an honour to receive this recognition from the University for the Creative Arts.
"The creative industries are increasingly recognised for the essential and humanising contribution they make to our culture and society and the breadth of subjects at UCA can only encourage new and vital talent."
World-renowned ceramicist and author Edmund de Waal was honoured at UCA Farnham's graduation ceremony for his contribution to the creative arts.
Edmund de Waal's instantly recognisable work is widely exhibited and currently sits in 30 collections around the world.
Considered one of the finest potters of his generation, he was awarded the silver medal at the World Ceramics Exposition in Korea in 2003.
His most recent installation, Signs & Wonders, was commissioned by the Victoria and Albert Museum to commemorate the opening of the new Ceramics Galleries.
Professor Pradyumna Vyas received an honorary degree for his services to Design and Higher Education during the same ceremony.
Prof Vyas is the director of the National Institute of Design of India (NID). His 25 years of professional and teaching experience in different spheres of design made him the prime candidate for the vacant role in April 2009.
He is Member Secretary to the India Design Council which is part of the Indian Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
Prof Vyas said: "I am extremely honoured to receive this award and to be recognised by the University for the Creative Arts at a time when India is set to celebrate 50 years of formal design education at NID.
"This is a great encouragement to take forward collaborative research, bringing global perspective in design for inclusive and sustainable growth."
The University for the Creative Arts has 7,000 students, studying at campuses in Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone and Rochester.
Broadcaster and humanitarian, Bob Geldof KBE, will receive his award at UCA Canterbury's graduation ceremony on Thursday 22 July 2010 at the city's Shirley Hall.
Filmmaker Parminder Vir OBE will be presented with her degree on Friday 9 July at All Saints Church in Maidstone.

Articles: GnuPG 2.0 - IDEA support
Added: 2006-11-15 17:08:57 - Modified: 2007-06-23 12:02:31 - Level: Advanced
Recommend this article to a friend.
International Data Encryption Algorithm
IDEA is short for International Data Encryption Algorithm. The cipher was designed under a research contract with the Hasler Foundation, which became part of Ascom-Tech AG. The cipher is patented in a number of countries but is freely available for non-commercial use. The name "IDEA" is also a trademark. The patents will expire in 2010 - 2011. Today, IDEA is licensed worldwide by MediaCrypt.
IDEA was used in Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) V2.0, and was incorporated after the original cipher used in v1.0 ("Bass-O-Matic") was found to be insecure. It is an optional algorithm in OpenPGP.
IDEA is patented in at least Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The UK and The US.
What is this?
This is a package to add IDEA support to GnuPG 2.0 / libgcrypt in order to be backwards compatible with e.g PGP 2.0
I threw this together in a couple of hours one evening when I was bored, so it is bound to have some errors in it, but I got to decrypt the emails I wanted to, so I'm happy with it. If you find any obvious oddity, however, don't hesitate to contact me
The .tar.bz2 file contains three files, the idea.c file that is to be placed in libgrypt's cipher directory and the gcrypt.diff that contains some instructions on a couple of files to alter. Run a ./configure on the libgcrypt package, apply the necessary changes, and do a make && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig, and it should show up when doing gpg2 --version as: Cipher: IDEA, 3DES, CAST5, BLOWFISH, AES, AES192, AES256, TWOFISH
The file gnupg.diff is to be executed as "patch < gnupg.diff" from within the GnuPG 2.0.x g10 directory, that is, this file is not related to libgcrypt.
Updated: 2007-06-23:
Alon Bar-Lev has cleaned up the patch some and merged it all into a single diff file that can be downloaded here [sig]. GnuPG also needs this patch [sig] by Alon. It might be easier to get working than the original version. Gentoo users should be able to emerge libgcrypt with the idea USE-flag
Old files
Download gcrypt.tar.bz2 [OpenPGP Signature]
The idea.c file is based on the idea.c file used for gnupg version 1., which again is based on an implementation from Bruce Schneier: Applied Cryptography. John Wiley & Sons, 1996. ISBN 0-471-11709-9.

The Burdekin Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a State and Local Government Partnership in regional arts and cultural development.
Closing dates
There are two funding rounds each year which are advertised in the local newspaper.
Round 1 – May – for projects commencing after 1 August
Round 2 – November – for projects commencing after 1 February
What is RADF
The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) supports arts and cultural development at the local level through regional Queensland. RADF is a partnership between participating local councils and the Queensland Government, improving the quality of life and generating a potent force for regional renewal.
How does RADF work?
Each year Burdekin Shire Council lodges a bid for funding with Arts Queensland. If approved, Arts Queensland provides 60% of the bid, and Council 40%. RADF invites grant applications from the community twice annually – in May and November.
RADF Committee members assess the grant applications according to RADF guidelines and the Council's art and cultural development policy and recommend which applicants they consider should receive funding and how much. The RADF Liaison Officer presents their recommendations to Council. Council ratifies the committee decisions and the funds are distributed.
Applications for funding must be made to Council on the appropriate RADF form.
Categories of RADF Funding
Developing Regional Skills
For individual professional artists and artsworkers living in regional Queensland to attend professional development seminars or activities; master-classes; mentorships with recognised arts and cultural peers; and placements with recognised arts and cultural organisations.
- RADF grants will support intrastate and interstate activities only.
- Arts Queensland's Individual Professional Development grants support international activities.
- Assistance is available for up to 65 per cent of the total costs to a maximum of $1000 for Queensland travel and $2000 for national travel.
Councils may also support Quick-Response Grants under this category for:
- opportunities for professional development that unexpectedly become available out of the normal local RADF rounds
- applications usually up to six weeks before the event/activity.
Building Community Cultural Capacity
For community groups to engage a professional artist or artsworker to work with them on developing their arts practice or to run arts development workshops or community projects.
- RADF grants will support travel, accommodation and fees associated with employing professional artists or artsworkers to work on community projects or workshops in the local community.
- Assistance is available for up to 65 per cent of the total costs of the project or workshop.
- This category is also open to councils that wish to assume a co-ordination role for projects.
Interest Free Art Loans
For arts activities that will generate an income greater than the amount of the loan, and where no other funding source is available.
- RADF Interest-free Arts Loans will support activities that can demonstrate a prior commitment from a distributor or producer, e.g. a publisher, gallery or venue that can confirm and substantiate revenue forecasts.
- The total amount of the loan must be paid back at the conclusion of the activity.
Cultural Tourism
For projects and activities that focus on communities' locally distinct arts, culture and heritage both for members of that community and for visitors. RADF grants can support initiatives and activities that focus on:
- product development by professional artists, either as individuals or in partnership with individual community members or community groups marketing of professional artistic product.
Contemporary Collections/Stories
To preserve and provide access to locally held collections of significance, and collect and tell local stories from the past and the present that can demonstrate state and/or local significance. The priorities for this category are proposals for post-1960 heritage and Indigenous stories that can demonstrate strong community participation and ownership.
- RADF grants can support:
- Documentation, preservation, interpretation projects and collection management training through community-based workshops community stories, which can be documented in a variety of forms and mediums, including plays, videos, artwork, digital exhibitions, education programs, oral histories and publications.
- Community organisations such as historical societies, museums, libraries, archives, galleries, Indigenous and migrant community groups which collect and provide public access to their cultural heritage collections are eligible to apply.

One of our favourite things here at MOO HQ is getting to hear all your fantastic stories and seeing how passionate you all are about your amazing businesses. You've always got a little story to share with us, or an anecdote about how impressed your new contacts were with your shiny new Business Cards.
It turns out you guys aren't just great at creating great businesses; you're also passionate about getting out there and telling people all about them. In other words – you just love to network!
The first few months of the year are always very exciting, businesses big and small are busy making lots of exciting plans for the year ahead, planning to reach new customers, partnering with new contacts. So conferences are often a great way to start turning those plans into reality.
Without any further ado, it's time to kick off Networking Week! We've dedicated the whole of this week to talking about all things networking. Watch out for some cool stories that we'll be sharing on our Facebook and Twitter.
During this week, look out for tips and advice from some of our friends (and the MOO Crew too), infographics to swot up on and tips to share with friends.

We'll also be showcasing some of the clever things you're up to, sharing stories from MOO customers who've been out there 'on the front line'; representing and promoting their businesses.
Of course, networking doesn't stop here. We hope we all get inspired to be better networkers and continue to share success stories!

While the bathing suit looked like good quality the sizes run WAY TOO SMALL. My daughter is an average size 4 month old who just started wearing 3-6 months clothes and the same size bathing suit looks like it's a newborn size. Had to pay to ship back.

Quality, adorable suit purchased for my grand daughter
After shopping around for a diaper swim suit I came across this web site. The suit fit very well and is of high quality material and absolutely adorable. The built in diaper works well for our 7 month old granddaughter while enjoying time in the pool. Will order again in the future as she ages. Delivery was as scheduled

Burndown and Burnup Charts
From AgileBok.org
Burndown chart is the most important tracking tool for Agile projects. ScrumPad provides both Burndown and Burnup charts. You can see burndown chart in either remaining hours/days (a.k.a., track remaining), if you are tracking actual time, or in remaining points (a.k.a, track done), if you are only tracking points.
Burn-down charts
A burn-down chart tracks how much work remains on your project and whether you'll hit your deadline. The vertical axis measures work remaining. The horizontal axis marks your iterations, and you should mark which iteration is your target end date for the project. After each iteration you mark your progress on the chart and you can project forward to see whether or not you'll hit your target end date.
In the 'Burn-Down Chart' diagram above we've gone four iterations, and the dotted line (the projection) suggests we've fallen quite badly behind schedule. After the first iteration you can see we were making good progress, but things changed in the second iteration and alarm bells should have sounded. The project manager should have started doing something then.
Burn-up charts
A burn-up chart tracks how much work is done. But it shows more information than a burn-down chart because it also has a line showing how much work is in the project as whole (the scope as workload), and this can change. On the burn-down chart it is harder to show a changing goal.
In the 'Burn-Up Chart' the bottom line is the work done and the top line is the total scope. Dotted lines show projections. We can see that the scope remained steady for the first few iterations, and we would have expected to make the deadline. But scope increased around the fifth iteration. Even this wouldn't have been too bad if that had been the end of it, but it continued to increase after that. The projections show that we won't make the target deadline at our current rate of scope creep. In fact we probably won't even make it if the scope remains steady.

Can You Take the God Out of Yoga? ~ Sarah Hannah
Did you know, yoga is criminal?!
Every couple of weeks we read a story about the next lawsuit that, in some form or another, takes issue with yoga's so-perceived inherently religious connotations which are argued to infringe on individual freedoms.
Most recently in Encinitas, California, a family is suing the school district for civil rights violations resulting from its inherently and pervasively religious Ashtanga yoga program.
All of these lawsuits ultimately rub up against one question: Can you take God out of yoga?
In the East, yoga was once practiced in the temples in order to facilitate the body with the strength and capacity to spend hours and hours in meditation and stillness. What we have come to know as the final resting pose of our practice, Savasana, was once upon a time its culmination.
Today, we spend 70 minutes in movement and five minutes in rest. We forget that at one time a single hour of yoga preceded eight hours in meditation. Yoga has the capacity to create space in the body, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, for the divine.
Yoga is in an interesting time. Those that practice traditionally in India are up in arms about what we have done with yoga in the West and, undoubtedly, there are times when I think Krishnamacharya would be turning in his grave right about now. On the other hand, here in the West, yoga is evolving further and being molded into ever new forms to reach people it previously couldn't (i.e. yoga for children, depression, veterans, big bodies, addiction treatment, wheel chairs, etc).
The old yoga is rejecting the new and the new yoga is continuing to reject its traditional and rigid temple roots. Regardless of form or flavor, yoga's popularity continues to skyrocket, and it doesn't seem that any number of lawsuits will be able to stop its rise.
Now that yoga has arrived in the West, with its pastel colors, slammin' bodies, white tube tops, and mats in any color to match your mood, some get scared, or even angry, when they get a little more than the glamorized sequence of orderly stretches they had bargained for.
So, then, can it be done, can we practice yoga without the Divine?
My big box gym employer, where I teach to a room of 50 people certainly seems to think so. I am given only few rules for instructing: no use of walls, no plow poses, no wheels, no incense, and, oh, no Ohms. Done and dusted. Corporate feels that that should pretty much keep me from rubbing up against anyone's religious beliefs.
As long as we don't Ohm we're good, right? Or are we?
While I think it is sort of delusional to assume that just because one cuts the mane of a lion, one ends up with a kitty, my answer to this is, it depends. It depends not so much on yoga, but rather on you. While the teacher, the environment and the type of yoga most certainly factor into the experience, the question of whether you are just stretching or doing yoga is ultimately one that is decided by you on your mat.
You see, if in fact there is absolutely nothing miraculous about the breath to you, you are safe. If you are not moved by the fact that you breathe your entire existence without needing to think about it and that if you did have to remind yourself to breathe you would have stopped ages ago, you are safe.
If you have no association with the idea that breath and life go hand in hand, and that your every breath is a miracle and gift to you to experience life itself and feel and fumble and laugh and smell stinky cheese and wipe tears away and reach and grow and fall and do it again, then you are safe. If on that mat, you feel nothing, and you are stretching a hip flexor in order to run better, you are safe.
But, if you happened to find yourself celebrating the gift of life itself, which fully includes your Divine and wanting to create space within yourself to experience it more fully, deeply and committedly while you are here, then you are in trouble. Then you are not stretching, you are doing yoga.
In other words, yoga celebrates life itself. Only as long as life is not sacred to you, can you bypass the spiritual notions of yoga unscathed.
Whether rosary or mala beads, whether Amen or Namaste, whether mantra or prayer, is it not God that precedes and predates religion and dogma?
God didn't need dogma. We did. And once I truly understand this, then any room, any song, and any breath is a pure and utter celebration of my very personal definition of God. I get to celebrate God anywhere, everywhere, all the time.
I admit, I do struggle when I am accused of advocating devotional practices to a false God. It's not easy.
But sometimes I am taken aside after my class by someone who would love to try yoga and I am gifted the opportunity to play a role in making true yoga available to someone who wants to feel uncompromising of their personal beliefs.
Sometimes I get to gift yoga to someone who can experience it as a platform to delve deeper into their very own beliefs. Not mine. That is my greatest honor.

Sometimes I'm reminded how much better and simpler someone can say something, heck, maybe every time I turn around. So many of us out here, and it's good to see the trails of ideas blazing their paths through us heedless of science and its belief we are not connected to one another on the inside in the willy-wiff of some spiritual oneness. This timely idea of the divine in yoga Sarah you have spoken so well. I say it in a different way in my post on elephant put up yesterday: Winged Information. A Peer into the Mountaintop. It's better probably not to rank yours above mine, but mine takes some work to get to, but I guess that isn't always a bad thing. I'm a poet and write like one. I can't do anything about it. I've had it all my life. At any rate, thank you especially for the sweetness I sensed.
This piece!! http://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/03/winged-inf… So beautiful! You've had it all your life?!? Really?? What a gift!!! What blessing to be able to dance a poetic dance with life! Thank you truly and sincerely for your kind words. In gratitude.
Man's biggest illusion is thinking the creator is separate from the creation.
Satya. Namaste.
None of the yoga scriptures talk about GOD…… Yoga is all about body, breath and above all MIND…..
As a kids yoga teacher in schools, I've taken the "God" out of yoga. It has been surprisingly liberating. The relief of not trying to please a benevolent dictator is appreciated by all ages. It has deepened my practice too, by leading me to the core of what God represents, so I can explain it to a 4 year old.
How come it is possible to take god out of
something.which is a part of the universe.
I can not forget myself and yet be aware of
my presence.
I will go for yoga of my own where both mind
and body in tune with lows of nature and law
of hygiene and I am truly within- in and without
myself to be useful to myself and the society
I belong and owe my gratitude………….regards.
The meaning of the word "god" is not universal, but highly contextual to our different cultures. NAGRAJ hit the nail on the head – god is not mentioned in the Yoga Sutras. I just learned that recently by starting to study the Yoga Sutras. As an agnostic westerner I think trying to find "god" is a waste of precious time. Trying to please "god" is a waste of precious time. But to experience the spiritual spark inside me is the best use of my time in this incarnation.

Mobile game publisher Gameloft appears set to make available for download on mobile devices a new title developed in collaboration with Marvel, namely Iron Man 3, and might release it as soon as tomorrow, new reports on the matter suggest.
The company hasn't made an official announcement on this, but it has already published a teaser for the game, suggesting that this might indeed happen.
The game is being teased on a tablet, with no specific details on it unveiled, yet the glowing eyes and the March 27, 2013 date listed there can suggest only that Iron Man 3 is coming to mobiles, BGR India notes.
What remains to be seen is whether the game will be launched on both Android and iOS devices, just as Gameloft usually does with its new titles. Keep an eye on this space for updates.

Drachman is an active solo and chamber music performer. He is founder and artistic director of the Piatigorsky Foundation and he has become one of the most respected authorities on the presentation of live classical music for diverse audiences.
In 1999, Drachman recorded his first CD, A Frog He Went a Courting, with Dowling. Following this success, Drachman and Dowling released two more recordings, Infinity in 2004 and Romance and Revelation in 2007. Drachman has appeared regularly as soloist with orchestras and in recitals and chamber music performances across the United States, Europe and Asia. Drachman studied at the Peabody Conservatory, the New England Conservatory, and the Curtis Institute of Music. He has spent his summers performing at music festivals in the United States and abroad.
Hailed by the New York Times as "an especially impressive fine young pianist," Dowling appears regularly across the United States in solo recitals and concerts with orchestras. Dowling's career highlights include a sold-out New York orchestral debut at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall and a solo recital at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall in New York. He has performed in the Far East, Australia, Africa and Europe.
In 2001, Dowling released a compact disc Sweet and Low-Down containing virtually all of the solo piano works by George Gershwin on the Klavier Records label. World's Greatest Rags, a disc of Dowling playing a collection of his favorite American ragtime piano repertoire, was released in 2004. He has also recorded two CDs of Chopin, three CDs of cello and piano works with Drachman and a three-CD set of pop songs A Perfect Moment. His most recent recording, Music of Old New York, features songs and piano rags inspired by The Big Apple at the turn of the century. Dowling studied at Yale University and The University of Texas, where he earned a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in piano performance.
Drachman established The Piatigorsky Foundation in 1990 in honor of his grandfather Gregor Piatigorsky. Piatigorsky deeply believed in the healing and inspiration power of classical music. He once said, "Music makes life better. Music is a necessity. It is rich. It is imaginative. It is magnificent. And it is for everyone." The Piatigorsky Foundation is committed to carrying on Piatigorsky's mission by evoking cultural curiosity through educational and accessible live performances. Last season, the Foundation presented a series of concerts throughout south Louisiana.

What If I Can't See the Weight Loss?
One of the questions that we hear all the time is: "Where is the last place on my body that I will lose weight?" It's an interesting question with an even more interesting answer. Because the last part of your body to lose weight isn't going to be your upper arms or your thighs. It's not going to be your stomach. It's going to be your brain. It's not that there's actual fat in the brain to lose, but the brain is almost always the slowest part of the body … Continue reading

What's It Really Like to Have Bariatric Surgery?
For those of you who have recently joined us, it may interest you to know why we've included these patient journeys here on MyBrandNewLife.org. Our reasoning is pretty simple. We think it's important for everyone to recognize that when you have bariatric surgery, the before and after photos will never do your experience justice. As we know here at St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence—and as you're hopefully learning—bariatric surgery is a tool, not a quick fix.

Moët & Chandon unveils
Grand Vintage Rosé 2004
Moët & Chandon proudly presents Grand Vintage Rosé 2004: a modern vintage which superbly embodies the House's longstanding rosé heritage and represents an evolution in the House's vintage approach. Its different choice of assemblage and longer aging period have resulted in a luxuriantly mature champagne that marry traditional savoir-faire with a modern approach.
"GV Rose 2004, a voluptuous, playful, delicate champagne, tells the story of both the exceptional 2004 harvest and the House's more than two centuries of savoir-faire crafting rose champagne."
Benoît Gouez, Chef de Cave
Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2004 reveals a shimmering copper pink with glints of antique gold. It is a playful and voluptuous vintage champagne, medium-bodied and round yet delicate–a slightly tannic structure with a subtle tanginess. Notes of blackcurrant, black cherry and dried fig, and warm nuances of spice bread with a touch of liquorice and a hint of dark chocolate create a champagne of refined sensuality.

OUR WORLD: Power kick
There is a strange energy in the crowd at the Seminole Immokalee Casino. Many in the audience act as if they're not sure what to do. Some spectators, dressed for a night on the town, seem more interested in their cellphones and cocktails. Hip-hop music, mixed by a DJ in the distance, fills the air. It's almost enough to drown out the small conversations going on around the room. Almost.
All of this is happening in the shadows. There is only a small amount of light focused on the featured attraction, a multi-sided caged ring in the center of the large tent. This is the spot where the lackadaisical audience keeps glancing. Eventually, an announcer makes his way out and positions himself in the center of the ring. The King of the Casino starts.
Two fighters make their way to the ring followed by an entourage of supporters. Once given the OK by the officials and the cage doors are secure and locked, a bell sounds. That sound immediately turns the subdued crowd into a bedlam of screams and yells as the two fighters begin to grapple, punch and kick each other.
An exhibition round gets under way; it's the second fight of the evening. And although the main event is still four fights away, this is the one got everyone's attention.
Under the lights Scotty Matos, from American Top Team in Cape Coral, dukes it out with Angel Rivas, of Pitts Pen Submission School in Lehigh Acres. The match starts out like any other, but while many of the fights that evening will end with a submission hold, this one ends with an unexpected powerful blow — a knockout.
After the two fighters get off a couple of shots, Matos catches Rivas off-guard with a knee to the chin. It happens so fast that some of the spectators didn't see it. Rivas instantly falls backward to the mat. The referee rushes over to a stunned Rivas. He calls the fight. Matos wins.
The crowd cheers and other fighters with American Top Team roar with excitement for their fellow team member. Matos performs an acrobatic flip in the ring to celebrate his knockout victory.
The best fight on the card was over, but is enough to fuel the crowd till the very end.
