One is nearing the end of his career, already has an Olympic medal and is eyeing another. The other is a decade younger, an up-and-comer who has enjoyed some success but is aiming for her first medal at the Games.
Ariel "Arik" Ze'evi, 35, and Alice Schlesinger, 24, are standouts on the Israeli Olympic judo team and two of their nation's best medal hopes at the London Games that begin later this month.
Ze'evi won bronze eight years ago in Athens and expects to win a medal this year after faltering in Beijing in 2008.
Holding a camera while the Israeli media photographed him on Sunday, Ze'evi sounded like a soon-to-be retiree going on vacation. He talked about "enjoying the experience" and "staying calm."
Beneath the relaxed air, however, was a determined and optimistic veteran. Ze'evi won the gold medal at the European Judo Championships in April, and as the 38-person Israeli Olympic delegation's senior member, he has emerged as one of its leaders.
"I'm very calm, but there's still time" before the Olympics, he said. "We don't prepare for failure. We don't set up scenarios where we don't succeed. It's better to have positive thoughts."
Ze'evi says he is "sure" that these are his last Olympics. If he were to participate in Rio de Janiero four years from now, at age 39, he would "compete with little kids," he said.
Another bronze-winning Israel judoka is heading to London: Oren Smadja is one of the five-person judo team's coaches. Smadja, 42, believes that the medal he won in 1992 paved the way for more recent Israeli successes in judo, like Ze'evi's bronze in Athens.
"[My] medal led to people practicing," said Smadja, who acknowledged that he prefers competing to coaching. "I don't remember a delegation this strong. Some of [this year's] team didn't think they could get into the Olympics. With my dedication and desire, I think I was" one of the impetuses for the team's strong performance.

Welcome To Keepers Pier
From the 1950s to present day, Keepers Pier has always been revered as one of the best and most productive fishing piers on the entire US Gulf Coast. It's location, water depth, and abundance of fish species can make for an outstanding fishing experience that will leave you with memories for years to come.
The record fish for the pier is a 13'7", yes that's 13 Feet, 7 inch Tiger Shark. That was caught back in the 60s, but the most recent record was an 11' 7" Tiger Shark caught on Memorial Day 2003. Back in the old days, they used to catch sawfish and huge numbers of Tarpon.

Ocean's little fish are a big deal (+video)
Small 'forage fish' are a crucial source for larger animals in the ocean ecosystem. Without little fish, there can be no big fish. Pacific coast fishing leaders should thus adopt safeguards to prohibit fishing of saury until it can be shown that this would not adversely impact the ecosystem.
Portland, Ore.
When people think of a healthy ocean, the first thing that comes to mind is usually a large iconic animal, perhaps a humpback whale leaping majestically out of the water or a pelican swooping low across the ocean surface. In my case, I'm hooked by the thrill of a big salmon as it pulls the line off my reel.
All of these animals dine on vast schools of tightly packed prey fish, commonly referred to as forage fish. Scientists and fishermen are becoming increasingly aware of their singular importance as the fuel that drives productive coastal ecosystems. At the same time, global demand is growing to catch forage fish for secondary purposes such as chicken feed, fertilizer, and bait for industrial longline fishing overseas.
But catching too many of these forage fish can severely disrupt the ocean life that they sustain. A lack of forage fish can have serious repercussions – especially for the fishing industry. Without little fish, there can be no big fish.
That's why many fishing and conservation organizations – including The Pew Charitable Trusts – are rightly advocating for new measures to safeguard forage fish. The Pacific Fishery Management Council, which is responsible for managing marine fish on the West Coast, will have the opportunity to adopt some of these safeguards as it meets in Garden Grove, Calif., this week.

Spyderco is a Golden, Colorado, U.S.A. based cutlery company that produces knives and knife sharpeners. Spyderco pioneered many features that are now common in folding knives, including the pocket clip, serrations, and the opening hole. Spyderco has collaborated with 30 custom knife makers, athletes, and self-defense instructors for designs and innovated the usage of 20 different blade materials.
Spyderco was founded by Sal Glesser. The first product Spyderco produced was the Portable Hand in 1976, this "spider-shaped device", which gave the company its name, was a series of angles, ball joints and alligator clips that helped people such as jewelers and hobbyists to work with small parts. Spyderco's Founder, Sal Glesser, and his wife Gail, converted an old bread delivery truck into a motor-home and traveled to shows. As they became more successful, they graduated from the bread truck to a truck and trailer. They settled in Golden in November 1978. Spyderco began producing knife sharpeners in 1978 and produced their first folding knife, the C01 Worker, in 1981.[1][2] This knife was the first to feature a round hole in the blade designed for fast, one-handed and ambidextrous opening, which is now the company's trademark.[3] Additionally, the company claims that this was the first knife to feature a pocket clip on the right side of the handle.[4][5][6][7]
Most knives produced by Spyderco are folding knives of various designs, blade steels, handle materials, and locking mechanisms (including two patented proprietary locks); however, they have also produced fixed-blade knives for various purposes.[8][9]
Spyderco's knives are made with a plain edge, a partially serrated edge, or a fully serrated "Spyder Edge" configuration.[10] Their most common handle material is FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) and G10, although they make knives with steel handles as well as some limited editions with handles from various other materials.[11]
A large part of Spyderco knife production is outsourced to foreign contractors in countries such as Japan, Taiwan, Italy, and China.[12] Knives made with CPM S30V steel were previously all made in Golden, Colorado, USA, however Spyderco has recently begun shipping CPM-S30V to Taiwan to have knives produced there using this steel.
Spyderco knives are respected for their simplicity, reliability, good ergonomics and functional aesthetics. They are popular with many markets including law enforcement officers, fire and rescue personnel, and private citizens.[10]
For his many influences in tactical knife design (most notably the pocket clip, serrations, and opening hole) and many collaborations with custom knife makers, Spyderco's President, Sal Glesser, was inducted into the Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall of Fame at the 2000 Blade Show in Atlanta, Georgia.[13]
Spyderco has experimented with new blade steels over the years.[14] In 1994, Spyderco was the first company to use powder metallurgy in a production knife (in the form of Crucible's S60V tool steel), and the first knife company to use H-1 steel in a folding knife.[15] The blade steel used by Spyderco over the years include:
52100, a ball bearing steel used in the first run of the Mule project.
154CM an American stainless premium cutlery steel
8Cr13MoV, a Chinese stainless steel tempered at the RC56 to RC58 range and used in the Tenacious, Persistence, Ambitious, Resilience, Grasshopper, Kiwi3 and Byrd lines of knives. Often compared to AUS-8, but with slightly more Carbon.
9Cr18Mo a higher level Chinese stainless steel used mostly in high-end barbering scissors and surgical tools.
440C, a stainless steel, known for corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening.
Aogami Super,(青紙スーパー) a Japanese exotic, high-end steel made by Hitachi. The "Blue" refers not to the color of the steel itself, but the color of the paper in which the raw steel comes wrapped.
ATS-55, a performance stainless steel similar to ATS-34 with the molybdenum reduced, used only by Spyderco for knife steels until the early 2000s [16]
AUS-6, similar in quality to 440a, used as a "budget" steel in early Spyderco models.
AUS-8, a frequently used Japanese steel, which is known for taking a very fine edge, due to the inclusion of vanadium. Sharpens easily, and has moderate edge holding and corrosion resistance.
AUS-10, a Japanese stainless steel series made by Aichi with the same carbon content as 440C but with slightly less Chromium.
BG-42, a high performance stainless steel formulated for ball bearings, similar to ATS-34 (same composition, but with added Vanadium), which has similar properties.
CTS-XHP, made by Carpenter Technology. Often referred to as a stainless version of D2, which has similar properties.
CTS-20CP, Carpenter Technology's version of S90V, with slightly reduced Chromium. Features incredible wear-resistance and edge-holding, hardened to about 60 RC.
CTS-BD1, Carpenter's versions of Gin-1 with improved chemistry. Originally feature in a Mule Team fixed blade.
D2, a high performance tool steel that has 1 percent less Chromium than required to classify as stainless steel. Spyderco uses Crucible's version of D2, which is a particle metallurgy ("powdered") version, not wrought. CPM-D2 is found in a sprint run version of the Military model.
G2, aka GIN-1. (銀紙1号)A Hitachi-made low cost stainless steel comparable to, but softer than, AUS-8. Generally hardened in the mid to high RC 50s. A tough, corrosion-resistant steel.
H-1, is ideal for marine applications, because it substitutes nitrogen for carbon and thus is nearly rust-proof in any normal environment such as salt water exposure though can still oxidize if exposed to extreme heat and chemical attack. It grinds, scratches and has edge retention similar to the low carbide steels such as AUS-6. It is a precipitation hardening steel, which is a particular type of heat treating where the hardness and microstructure is formed through an extended soak.
MBS-26: A Japanese [stainless] steel, very fine grained with high corrosion resistance used in the Catcherman and in most kitchen knives by Spyderco.
N690CO, an Austrian stainless steel hardened to the high RC50 range. Currently found in the Squeak and previously used in Spydercos manufactured by Fox Cutlery.
CPM-M4 [aka AISI M4] - Has a usual RC of 62-65, used in special purposes, high-speed steel with combination of high Carbon, Molybdenum, Vanadium, and Tungsten for excellent wear resistance and toughness; a powder-metal, non-stainless steel.
CPM S30V steel an American powder-metallurgy, high-carbide steel developed for the cutlery market.[17]
CPM-S60V, (aka 440V, aka CPMT440V) A modern American super-steel that is wear resistant, but difficult to sharpen. Unfortunately the low level of toughness means that it can only be hardened to around 56 RC, causing the edge-holding performance to be diminished.
CPM-S90V (aka 420V), similar to Crucible's S60V but designed to be more wear resistant with a very high carbide volume and high vanadium content. Appreciated for extreme edge-holding. S90V was featured in a sprint run of Spyderco's Military in 2008. Since then it has been used in several sprint runs in knives like the Manix 2 and Paramilitary 2. While S90V holds an edge significantly better than S30V, both are usually hardened to about 59-61 RC.
VG-10,(V金10号)[18] a Japanese steel developed for the horticulture industry by Takefu, often hardened around the RC60 range. Reported to have better corrosion resistance but slightly less edge retention than S30V. Appreciated for taking an extremely fine edge, and being extremely easy to sharpen, while still holding an edge well. Used in most of Spyderco's Japanese-made knives.
ZDP-189, a premium Japanese powdered super-steel made by Hitachi, hardened to RC 62-67, with very high carbide volume. Along with S90V, it boasts some of the best edge-holding of any steel on the market.
Through the years, Spyderco has collaborated with numerous custom knife makers in the design of various models.[11]
Spyderco often produces limited edition models, referred to as sprint runs. These limited runs are generally versions of discontinued models with different blade and handle materials, though some are completely new models, such as the Kopa; a "dress knife" with several variants, each with a different handle material such as micarta, evrina, and tiger coral.
Spyderco designs and produces knives under the Byrd brand. These knives use high quality materials and are manufactured in China, allowing much lower prices while retaining most of Spyderco's quality.[41] To differentiate the brands, Byrd knives have a "comet" shaped opening hole in the blade, rather than the trademark round hole found on Spyderco models.
To date, Byrd knives have featured 8Cr13MoV as their blade steel except for the byrd Catbyrd titanium which uses 9Cr18Mo steel.[41] Early Byrd knives were marked 440C, but tests found that the steel was something entirely different from American 440C. This steel was closer to AUS-8 than American 440C, and also went by the name 8Cr13MoV.[41]
The first Byrd models, the Cara Cara, Meadowlark, Flight, Pelican, and Crossbill, initially featured stainless steel handles. This is likely because company owner Sal Glesser believes that "'basic stainless' is the best way to test a 'pattern design'. Function and ergonomics are easily determined without the 'influence' of material." Newer Byrds have featured aluminum, fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN), and G10 handles.[41]

In addition to its spiritual uses, self-starvation was a form of a freak-show brand of entertainment at the turn of the Twentieth Century. Fasting men had shows where they'd sit on a stage and... well, not eat, sometimes for as many as 40 days. One of the most famous of these men was Claude Seurat, a Frenchman who allegedly weighed 72 pounds, about what Krasnow weighed during his final years, but Krasnow was three inches taller.
In 1922 Franz Kafka wrote a story called "A Hunger Artist," about a fasting performer who starves himself to death in a cage at a circus. The character's last words -- which have prompted some historical scholars to posit that Kafka, who was notedly thin and obsessed with food himself, was really writing about anorexia: "You shouldn't admire [my fasting].... Because I have to fast, I can't help it."
In 1860 a French doctor named Louis-Victor Marce published a tract on patients who refused to eat. "If the food refusal continues, the physician should employ intimidation and even force," he wrote, adding that, when necessary, the mouth should be pried opened violently.
If Krasnow's experiences are any indication, the philosophy behind the treatment of anorexics hasn't essentially changed much since then. Psychiatrists and medical doctors often make demands on their patients to reach certain weights in a certain number of days, using forced feedings as a final resort. Krasnow complains in his book that doctors seemed more interested in breaking him than in fixing him.
In his very first stay in a psychiatric ward in July 1983, he was told, after those initial eight days of fasting, that either he eat 500 calories, or he'd be sent to a hospital for a forced feeding. "I ate that morning. I really tried," he wrote. But he managed to ingest only 400 calories and was shipped to the hospital. "To this day, I don't know why [the doctor] was not satisfied. Perhaps he wanted to immediately impress upon me that he was in control."
That first fast, that first skirmish with doctors, gave young Krasnow a sense of control, too: "I had the willpower to diet. I was the all-powerful Michael."
When a doctor first told him he had symptoms of anorexia nervosa, "I automatically labeled myself an anorexic," he wrote. "It's hard to explain, but it almost seemed 'glamorous' to me... I was special. The anorexia gave me an identity."
Though Krasnow embraced his disorder, he also wrote that he wanted to get better and believed doctors to be "miracle workers." He began seeing a psychiatrist who, in his book, is referred to as "Dr. P." (The publishing house refused to publish the doctor's name, and Michael's mother refused to name him, fearing Dr. P would sue.) The mysterious Dr. P had an opportunity to work with Krasnow while he was still young and malleable.
Dr. P, who is the star of a chapter titled "The Silent Psychiatrist," was chronically late, and once he arrived, the real insanity began:
A typical session would start with each of us saying hello. Then we would sit down and look at each other. After doing this for 50 minutes, he would tell me that my time was up, and I would leave. This is the truth. I'm serious. He was getting paid around 60 dollars per hour, and we were staring at each other. That's all. No talking.
His mother still fumes at that chapter, which came as a revelation to her. Michael complained at the time, but she and her husband were told by other doctors that the psychiatrist had a wonderful reputation. She was afraid if she took Dr. P out of the picture, her son might get even worse. "I didn't know where else to go." She now knows it was a mistake to keep him going to Dr. P for nearly three years, after which, Krasnow wrote, his "depression increased to the point where it could not get any worse. It never let up. I just wanted to die."
Compounding this failure was the fact that anorexia in males is an ignored or hidden malady, while the mainstream media trumpets the disorder as a female problem. Males do comprise only a tiny percentage of anorexics, but experts in the field universally believe many more male anorexics are out there, yet to be diagnosed. For diagnosed males, there are only a few residential treatment centers in the country for them, none in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, or Broward counties. The Renfrew, Fort Lauderdale's only residential treatment center for those suffering with eating disorders, is exclusively for females, though it recently began treating males on an outpatient basis.
Krasnow managed to maintain a weight of between 110 to 120 pounds through the end of high school, terribly thin but not life-threateningly so. It was his father's life that was threatened: During Krasnow's senior year, his father was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, an incurable and fatal form of muscular dystrophy. The grim truth was that his father would die, maybe in a year, maybe in a decade.
When Michael started commuting from his parents' house to a nearby college in the fall of 1987, he dropped breakfast from his diet, causing his weight to plummet to 96 pounds. His parents committed him to the psychiatric ward at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts. He was told he could leave if he got his weight back up to 100 pounds. Instead he decided to kill himself. "Now I was (and still am) too much of a coward to shoot or stab myself or anything like that. The only way I would commit suicide is to fast and starve myself to death," he wrote.

A cut-off low located over southern Oregon will continue to influence our weather for the next several days. We'll see temperatures 10-20 degrees below normal across the area today and scattered showers and thunderstorms today and tomorrow. The best instability for thunderstorms to form on the west side of the mountains will be this afternoon and decrease through the evening while best chance east of the mountains will be this evening.
East of the mountains will have drier thunderstorms with windier conditions, optimal for fire weather. A red flag warning is in affect east of the Cascades through Thursday morning due to the potential for lightening strikes to reach outside the rainfall and spark fires that can grow quickly.
For now it looks like we'll be dry on Friday, but if the cut-off low lingers for a couple more days we may keep rain in the forecast longer. The weekend is looking to be much hotter and drier than this week.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Susan to the Rescue: Caring for Your Cast-Iron Skillet
Susan shares her cast-iron care tips
Hi, this is Susan Westmoreland in the Good Housekeeping kitchen. And tonight, we've just made lemon chicken. Delicious. Very simple saute. Children love lemon chicken. I don't know. There's something about the tartness of lemons that just really brings kids to the table. My son still eats chunks of lemons on his own, but never mind. Oh, anyway, we're gonna talk about cleaning this cast iron skillet, which has some burnt on flour and oil. And I'm just gonna take it here and run it under some warm water. And with a stick bristle brush, you can see it's still a little bit hot. I'm just gonna really scrub it out. And some people never put soap in their cast iron skillet. I don't really abide with that. I usually use a little bit of soap because depending on the flavors that you're using, you may need some soap to get that out. I'm just gonna throw a little soap on here and do that. But once we get it cleaned out, I wanna do-- I have a cast iron skillet that I've had for over 20 years and I know that my mother has one that my grandmother has, so they can last a lifetime and beyond if they're well taken cared of. And this one is now rinsed out, washed, cleaned. I'm gonna take it back to the burner and just put it on for literally maybe 30 seconds to dry it a little bit. And then once it's dry, you'll see that the water will start to sizzle. I just apply a little bit of vegetable oil to seal it and then you can store it in the cabinet either with a clean paper towel on it or put a paper plate in it to protect it and then we're really basically reseasoning it and creating a nonstick finish without any of those nonstick finish worries. So, I think cast iron is wonderful. It just conducts the heat so beautifully. Really, really simple. See here it is. It's starting to do its thing. So, I'm just gonna-- Here's what-- So, I'm just gonna turn off the-- turn off the heat and you'll see that I'm just gonna wipe it out. I mean we're not using tons of oil here. We're just putting a little bit on the skillet. And you'll see that it does come up the color, but that's not food dirt. That's just the iron. There, maybe like a teaspoon of oil. I'll just rub and rub up the sides too because obviously those are part of your cooking surface. And there you go. And I just put it over to cool. And when it's cool, you can either get a clean paper towel or just stick a paper plate in there to keep the surface and absorb some moisture. Really easy. Enjoy the chicken. Take care of your pan. Susan Westmoreland helping you take back dinnertime.

Vodafone dials up Telstra rivalry
PUBLISHED: 31 Jul 2012 00:04:00 | UPDATED: 31 Jul 2012 04:43:58PUBLISHED: 31 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 31 Jul 2012"The last time I looked the mobile industry was not regulated,and long may it continue," said David Thodey, Telstra chief executive, on Monday. Photo: Rob Homer

"Without careful attention, Telstra's market dominance could continue after the migration to the NBN," said Vodafone Hutchison Australia chief executive Bill Morrow. Photo: Penny Bradfield
One of Telstra's biggest rivals has called for an urgent rethink on regulation in the converging telecommunications sector, claiming the carrier's fixed-line dominance is stifling competition in mobiles and undermining structural reforms associated with the NBN.
Telstra's strong competitive position was illustrated by the rise in its share price to $4 yesterday for the first time since December 2008. The monolith telco, whose share price is up more than 30 per cent over the past year, is expected to next week deliver $10.4 billion in full-year earnings.
But Vodafone Hutchison Australia chief executive Bill Morrow has called for regulators to more closely scrutinise Telstra, arguing its fixed line dominance could entrench "serious imbalances" under the NBN if it remains unchecked.
In an opinion piece published in today's Australian Financial Review Mr Morrow calls for regulators to no longer treat fixed and mobile telecommunications markets in isolation, as wireless and fixed networks increasingly complement each other to cope with rapid growth in smart devices.
Telstra has seen most of its fixed- line monopoly privileges stripped away as part of its $11 billion deal to shut down its copper network and transfer customers to the NBN.
In contrast, mobile communications remain relatively unregulated, with the three main carriers operating their own networks and largely owning their own infrastructure.
Telstra CEO David Thodey said yesterday he hoped it remained that way, after delivering a speech in Sydney to the American Chamber of Commerce. "The last time I looked . . . the mobile industry was not regulated, and long may it continue," he told the Financial Review.
On Friday, Telstra raised prices on some landline calls for the first time in nine years.
Australia's incumbent telco has a 71 per cent share of the retail, fixed- line phone market, compared to 45 per cent of fixed-line broadband and 46 per cent of the mobile market, CBA analyst Alice Bennett says.
Mr Morrow, who joined VHA in March, described Telstra as the most vertically integrated telco in the world. "No other jurisdiction allowed a company to have Telstra's level of market dominance in fixed, mobile, and cable network infrastructure and to own half of the largest pay TV company," he said.
His comments signal a more forthright approach from the No. 3 operator on the regulatory front. Last week, VHA reported it lost 178,000 customers in the June half. The carrier – a joint venture between UK mobile giant Vodafone and Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa – lost up to $260 million over the period.
"We need an urgent reassessment of the regulatory approach to the telecommunications industry," Mr Morrow said. "Without careful attention, [Telstra's] disproportionate market dominance could continue after the migration to the NBN."

School Briefs - Deep Run High School
Come Nov. 16, when the Deep Run High School boys' basketball team opens its 2012-2013 season against Thomas Dale High School, 270 days will have passed since head coach Curt Kassab and his Wildcats have taken the floor. And coming off a stingy loss to Highland Springs in the Wildcats' first playoff appearance under Kassab, this year's squad will be hungrier than ever. Deep Run will be looking to build off last year's 16-9 season – the school's first winning season since Kassab took over as head coach two seasons ago. Last season also marked the first District and Regional tournament appearances in the Kassab era. "Our goal every year is to compete for a district title and a birth in the Regional Tournament," Kassab said. Repeating last year's success will be no easy task, however, as Deep Run heads into the 2012-2013 season losing 10 players to graduation; most notably first-team All-District guard Parker Hull and second-team All-District center Lucas Dyer. This leaves a mere four returning varsity players for Kassab and company, and only one, junior guard Tim Branin, with extensive varsity game experience. These key departures mean new faces will have to step up and lead this year's team, a challenge that senior guard Nick Butz welcomes. "I'm looking forward to being a leader of the team," Butz said, "I expect our team to be tough and have a great year." While most are ready to write them off, Kassab sees this team with loads of untapped potential. "We have some talented young players and it's important that we develop these young kids," Kassab said. "I think that is critical in building a good basketball program." With three-fourths of last year's team gone, Deep Run will have to rely heavily on its renowned student section, the "Wildcat Wackos." The Deep Run basketball program has tons of momentum after last year's playoff run; however, with the large amount of turnover, repeating last year's success will be an immense challenge for coach Kassab and the Wildcats. |

- 3% cash back on gasoline at at US gas stations and at select US department stores
- and 1% cash back on other purchases.
The card has a $75 annual fee, but keep in mind that spending $25 per week at supermarkets, that 6% back can earn over $75 Reward Dollars per year ($78) to pay for the annual fee by itself. If you spend $500 a month at supermarkets, that would net you $360 cash back in a year. The Blue Cash Preferred also has 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months. After that, your APR will be a rate of 12.99% to 21.99% Variable based on on your creditworthiness.
The regular Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express gives you 50 reward dollars AND a one year membership to Amazon Prime (for new Amazon Prime members ONLY) after spending $1,000 in eligible purchases in the first 3 months. Earn Cash Back: 3% at US supermarkets, up to $6,000 per year in purchases, 2% at US gas stations & select US dept stores, 1% on other purchases. Terms and limitations apply. Also the card does not have an annual fee.
If you spend less than a combination of $175 per month on groceries and $100 on gas per month, then the Blue Cash Everyday would give you more money back overall. Otherwise, the Preferred above works out better. Both cards offer the simplicity of cash back on the major "need" categories of groceries and gas, great for those that don't like dealing with rotating categories or don't travel very much.

Los Angeles-based Fresh Brothers grabbed media attention when it thought of an idea to make a nutritional pizza for children. The "Fresh Kids Special" is a pizza with five fresh veggies finely ground into the sauce. Adam Goldberg, founder and CEO of Fresh Brothers, said the idea was a "no-brainer." "It's not a trend to feed kids vegetables, it's a way of life" he said. Fresh Brothers also offers an entire gluten-free menu, including a vegan cheese option.

When we went to Israel this spring we did not want to pay for checking an extra bag to bring home souveniers. Instead, we packed old, worn clothing, especially underwear and undershirts, and threw them away after wearing. This freed up space in our bag for souveniers. While the rest of our group was scrambling to purchase bags at gift shops and paying extra fees to check them, we had our purchases packed and ready to go. We have done this on numerous trips. Don't throw out that undershirt with a hole under the arm just yet. Save it to take on your next trip! report a problem

Ghobadi switches to fast-cut music video montages as they audition musicians. Each genre matches up with a different side of life in Tehran: When the heavy metal sounds, we see breakneck traffic. Blues rock depicts refugee children sleeping on the streets. Yet Tehran's indie rock scene looks a lot like ours. Take It Easy Hospital exchanges secret copies of British music magazine NME with other bands, the musicians wear CBGB T-shirts alongside women in burqas, and at one point, Askhan says his greatest wish is to go to Iceland to see the band Sigur Rós play.
The film, with its MTV-style music video montages and pop culture references, runs the risk of feeling like a lighthearted documentary. But in the final ten minutes, the tour through Iranian rock makes an abrupt and disturbing turn. The film, which won the Special Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes, was co-written by Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi, who was sentenced to eight years in jail in 2008 after the Iranian government deemed her a spy. Amanda McCorquodale March 8 at 9:30 p.m., Regal Cinemas South Beach; March 12 at 7:15 p.m., Tower Theater, 1508 SW Eighth St., Miami; 305-642-1264

Blood and Rain
A few hours after midnight, a man and a woman meet randomly on the cold, wet streets of Bogotá. He's Jorge (Quique Mendoza), a taxi driver whose brother was mysteriously murdered. She's Angela (Gloria Montoya), a sexy but emotionally damaged party girl with out-of-control coke and liquor habits. Gradually, as chance events and targeted violence bring the pair closer, a strange but undeniable attraction develops.
In his first feature, director Jorge Navas leads the characters (and viewers) on a slow, methodical descent into the Colombian underworld, from after-hours clubs and strip joints to killing fields. Blood and Rain depicts a dark sphere of existence, where chaos reigns, outbursts of brutal violence are common, deeply irrational behavior is the norm, and drugs are eaten to erase bad memories.
But it's not bleak. One of the reasons is the luridly bright nightscape photography of Juan Carlos Gil, who soaks the streets of Bogotá in saturated blacks and warm yellows that make abandoned lots and trash-filled alleys seem beautiful. Then there's the acting: Both Mendoza and Montoya deliver human performances that redeem profoundly fucked-up characters. And finally, consider Navas's clarity of vision. At only 36 years old, he's a mature filmmaker with enough perspective to tackle the inexplicable. S. Pajot March 7 at 7 p.m., Tower Theater; March 10 at 9:15 p.m., Regal Cinemas South Beach
City Island
The Rizzos are an average family — two parents, two kids — who make their home on City Island, an old fishing town in the Bronx. The patriarch, Vince (Andy Garcia), is a New York State corrections officer with dreams of being an actor. His wife, Joyce (Julianna Margulies), is a beautiful but aging housewife and mother who laments the education she lost when she became pregnant with her daughter, Vivian (Dominik García-Lorido), now college age. And then there's Vinnie (Ezra Miller), a skinny 15-year-old master of the smart-ass remark.
The Rizzos live together, eat together, and bicker like hell about everything. Plus they're all intensely secretive. Each and every member of the family smokes cigarettes but lies about it. Vinnie hides his love of fat girls, otherwise known as BBWs, and his fantasies about feeding them massive quantities of food. His older sister, Vivian, doesn't spend her days studying as Mom and Dad assume; she strips for dollar bills at a low-rent nudie bar. Joyce, meanwhile, suspects her husband of cheating but won't confront him. And Vince takes acting classes while telling his wife he's out playing poker with the boys. That's not all, though. Vince is keeping something from his family. He calls it his secret of secrets.
City Island is not one of those no-laughs, black-to-the-bone family comedies like Noah Baumbach's Margot at the Wedding. This movie actually plays toxic dysfunction for quick and easy giggles. When City Island works, it's thanks to the strong ensemble cast and writer/director Raymond De Felitta's nice, light touch. But Felitta, the 45-year-old, NYC-born filmmaker who also helmed 2005's The Thing About My Folks, glosses over some of the deep hurt that should be part of the story. And so, ultimately, City Island is a charming, if not entirely realistic, movie about a big, messed-up modern family. S. Pajot March 12 at 7 p.m., Gusman Center
The Wind Journeys
This is the story of a man's road trip across northern Colombia to return an evil accordion to its master. That's all you really need to know, though you might like to be informed that the wife of the protagonist, Ignacio (Marciano Martínez), has just died, so he no longer wishes to play the instrument.
Along Ignacio's journey, we meet long-lost brothers, hoodlums, and former lovers who all remind him that he can never leave his instrument behind. There are also piquerías, basically the accordionist's version of a rap battle, in which Ignacio lays the squeeze box down on others. If the rhymed quatrains and solos don't send you over the edge smiling, there are also sorcerer/accordionists dueling it out against our exorcising hero for the love and adoration of the local townspeople.

Posted in Issue 113 - May 2010 Perspective
Aleema Shivji*
The January 12 earthquake in Haiti left in its wake more than 300,000 persons with injuries, many of whom are now temporarily or permanently disabled. Combined with the estimated 800,000 persons living with disabilities before the earthquake, this results in a significant proportion of the population in a situation of extreme vulnerability.
People with disability and other vulnerable groups are always among the most seriously affected during and after crisis. They are often "invisible" to mainstream relief organizations and lack proper access to the relief activities deployed, therefore facing major challenges and protection issues. With the urgency to provide large-scale humanitarian relief to the Haitian population, many vulnerable people find themselves excluded from the relief efforts. Handicap International's strategy is thus two-fold: to provide specific support to persons with injuries and disabilities, and to ensure this population has equal access to all mainstream relief services.
Fractures account for the most frequent major injury following the earthquake in Haiti, followed by amputations, spinal cord injuries (SCI), burns, and head injuries. Some of the injured—such as those with amputations or spinal cord injuries—are immediately faced with disabling consequences and need specialized services and care to mitigate their disability. The earlier these services are started, the more impact they will have. Early rehabilitation can prevent potentially life-threatening pressure sores in a person with SCI and can ensure that a person with amputation can be fitted with a prosthesis at a later date.
A larger proportion of injured persons face a significant risk of becoming permanently disabled due to secondary complications from infected wounds and poorly managed fractures, including contractures, paralysis due to nerve lesions, or secondary amputations. Immediate implementation of rehabilitation services following the earthquake is vital—providing mobility devices to persons with fractures to restore movement and stimulate recovery, teaching exercises to prevent contractures, providing simple advice to families and caregivers, etc. Emphasis on regular wound care and appropriate hygiene is essential to prevent infection.
Starting on January 14, Handicap International (HI) and its partners immediately carried out rapid assessment of the situation and simultaneous provision of relief in hospitals and in the community. Essential services included: provision of post-surgical care and early rehabilitation at hospital level; setting up a link from hospitals to communities to guarantee continuity of care and assistance; and ensuring that vulnerable people had access to information on services available to assist them with basic and specific needs. In an emergency situation, HI's strategy comprises specialized services such as rehabilitation alongside general humanitarian assistance to ensure that specific and basic needs are covered both for persons with injuries and disabilities as well as the larger vulnerable population.
Actions in hospitals:
- Teams of Haitian and expatriate physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, and community workers have provided more than 11,000 rehabilitation sessions in 19 hospitals in the Port-au-Prince area since the earthquake.
- Assistive devices such as wheelchairs, mattresses, crutches, and walkers have been distributed, and education sessions provided to caregivers and family members.
- These activities are being implemented in collaboration with the Christian Blind Mission (CBM), an international NGO specializing in disability.
Actions in the community:
- Nine temporary assistance points (antennes handicap) have been set up at community level to provide information and services for persons with injuries and disabilities and to the elderly. To date, approximately 4,000 people have benefited from these services and more than 1,000 assistive devices have been provided.
- These antennes ensure the link from hospital to community and provide services such as wound care, rehabilitation, distribution of assistive devices, psychosocial support, provision of temporary shelter, information on humanitarian services, referral to other actors for specific or mainstream assistance (e.g., surgery, food distribution), etc. Mobile teams provide home-based services for people unable to reach the antenne sites.
- These antennes are implemented in partnership with the Haitian Secretary of State for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities and CBM.
Prosthetic and orthotic services:
- HI, with partner Healing Hands for Haiti, has opened a rehabilitation center in Port-au-Prince for fabrication and provision of prosthetics and orthotics, along with related rehabilitation and psychosocial services.
- The center provides prosthetic devices to persons with amputations, as well as orthotic devices for persons with spinal cord injuries and complications from fractures and for others requiring postural supports or splints.
- The center is currently following 150 patients and has a target of reaching 450 patients by the end of July.
In addition to the above specific services, HI has been distributing emergency humanitarian aid (food, temporary shelter, and non-food items) with a strategy to ensure appropriate inclusion of vulnerable persons.
To promote a coordinated response for persons with injuries and disabilities, an Injury, Rehabilitation and Disability Working Group has been set up under the UN Health Cluster. This working group is led by HI, CBM, the Haitian Secretary of State for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities, and the Ministry of Health.
It is evident that during the emergency response phase, actions targeting persons with injuries and disabilities are absolutely necessary to prevent or mitigate disability and to ensure access to all humanitarian assistance programs. Immediate activation of rehabilitation teams at hospitals and in communities can have a very strong impact on prevention of disability in injured persons and is an essential component of the emergency medical response. A coordinated response is crucial to maximize impact of rehabilitation and other services for persons with disabilities and injuries.

Apple Shares Jump on Buyback Rumors: Winners & Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL - Get Report) shares reversed earlier losses, gaining 1.2% to $463.20, on speculation the company is accelerating its stock-buyback program.
Twitter was aflurry with the rumor making rounds that Apple, which announced a buyback program in early 2012, would be speeding it up. In March 2012, Apple said it would spend $10 billion on a share-repurchase program and initiate a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company said it expects to spend $45 billion over the next three years.
Apple couldn't immediately be reached for comment for this story.
Zynga (ZNGA - Get Report) shares moved higher, tacking on 8.9% to $2.98, after the social-gaming company reported fourth-quarter results that beat Wall Street estimates.
Excluding items, the San Francisco-based company earned 1 cent a share on $311.1 million in revenue. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were looking for a loss of 3 cents a share on $212.1 million in sales. For the first quarter of 2013, Zynga said it expects to generate sales between $255 million and $265 million, losing between 4 cents and 2 cents a share.3D Systems (DDD - Get Report) shares rose 4.8% to $65.56 after the 3D-printing company said it would split its stock 3-for-2. On Feb. 22, shareholders as of Feb. 15 will receive one additional share for every two they own. It will be paid in the form of a 50% dividend, and shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. The stock will start trading on a split-adjusted basis Feb. 25. "The stock split will increase the market liquidity and broaden our investor base. We are pleased by the confidence that our Board of Directors and shareholders have placed in our ability to provide superior returns and long-term value," CEO Avi Reichental said in a press release.
BlackBerry (BBRY) shares fell 1.1% to $15.85 on reports that initial sales of the BlackBerry Z10 aren't all they've been cracked up to be. BlackBerry has touted that the Z10 is seeing switches from other devices, but some analysts on Wall Street note stores are only being stocked with a handful of devices, as opposed to hundreds or thousands. Canaccord Genuity's Mike Walkley noted that most stores in the U.K., where the device was first launched, received less than 15 units, and were sold over a few days. "Our surveys revealed that while most sales representatives acknowledged the Z10 was a marked improvement versus older BB 7 devices, initial sales were driven by pent-up demand from loyal BlackBerry users," Walkley wrote in his note. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

Stream movies and TV shows to your iPhone or iPad with Netflix
Search and view your favorite entertainment while on the go, or just relaxing.
Netflix has been a popular platform for video streaming for many years now, and with support for many devices it continues to be a necessary app for many people. Netflix provides an online streaming source for movies and TV shows, and this release of the Netflix app is for iPhone and iPad. The app is available from iTunes and installs easily.
The Netflix app usually launches with a screen showing the latest editions for the Netflix service, and as long as you are a subscriber you can click on any screen image to launch streaming playback of the title. You can also search the Netflix library for your favorites. When you select a title, it streams to your device with decent quality (especially on smaller iDevice screens). There's some letterboxing on some titles, while others have been zoomed so you lose part of the frame, but these are minor quibbles. The biggest problem with Netflix is that the selection of movies and TV shows is different depending on which country you live in. In the U.S., for example, the selection is huge, but those living in Canada have to make do with a much smaller (and weaker) selection. Before subscribing, check the library of available titles in your area to minimize disappointments.
To use Netflix you need a monthly subscription (check your country's version of the Web site for rates), but once you're signed up you can stream videos wherever you go. Of course, there are data charges if you are not on Wi-Fi, which can add up, but Netflix provides a source of entertainment for commutes, as well as just lounging around anywhere you want.
