by Carol Caldwell- photography by Hollis Bennett - From the moment we first met, Cano Ozgener put a spell on me. The man is a magus. Everything he touches turns to gold. CanoIn his first life, Cano turned himself from apprentice at his father’s business designing jewelry in Istanbul to a brilliant career in the New World at engineering research, and now, in Nashville to stay, he has a collection of Turkish meerschaum pipes unrivaled anywhere on earth. From this obsession must have stemmed his next manifestation as maker and purveyor of fine, handmade cigars. Cano, pronounced Johno, turned the profits from the sale of his cigar empire, CAO, into a sprawling, modern compound seated next to the landing strips at John Tune airport. This alchemist with the golden touch then tapped his magic wand and brought forth OZ Arts, a non-profit organization meant to foster the visual and performing arts in Middle Tennessee.

Both Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of the wildly popular The Dr. Oz Show and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach arrived in Israel from the US on Sunday together with their families, for a week-long visit. Boteach, dubbed “America’s rabbi” by the media, is hosting Oz – who is often called “America’s doctor” – and his family during their joint sojourn. The trip, Oz’s first to Israel, will include a panel discussion including Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky and moderated by The Jerusalem Post editor-in-chief Steve Linde at the Jerusalem Press Club on Monday evening.

Malware writers keep working to make their nasty products evade detection by popular antivirus tools, and the antivirus vendors naturally try to keep up, or even get ahead. Every couple of months, German independent antivirus lab AV-Test releases a report that lets the vendors (and users) know how they're doing in three areas: Protection, Performance, and Usability. In the latest test a few products stand out not specifically because of their scores, but because of how those scores have changed. The same was true in a recently-released test by Austrian lab AV-Comparatives.

Chobani Greek yogurt, with a new processing plant in Twin Falls, Idaho, has won a USDA contract to supply its product to the National School Lunch Program this fall.

On Friday, the agency announced that Chobani won the $279,720 contract to supply nearly 200,000 pounds of blueberry, strawberry, vanilla, and plain Greek yogurt from September through November to schools in Idaho, New York, Tennessee, and Arizona.
