David Hammer / Eyewitness News
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @davidhammerWWL
NEW ORLEANS -- Another city contractor is ready to testify that he paid then-Mayor Ray Nagin $50,000 in order to get millions of dollars in no-bid city work and a purported piece of Nagin's granite countertop business, sources tell Eyewitness News.
It's been the best kept secret of the feds' investigation of Nagin, until now. Our sources say that Rodney W. Williams, former president of Three Fold Consultants LLC, paid Nagin the $50,000 and was immediately rewarded with a city contract.
If Williams pleads guilty, that could sew up the wide-ranging probe of the former mayor, who has not been charged with any crime but has been implicated by some other contractors who have pleaded guilty in federal court.
The alleged $50,000 apparently helped launch Three Fold as a go-to construction design firm in Nagin's City Hall. The only city records available from that time cover the last two years of Nagin's second term. But in that time Three Fold collected more than $3 million to design and manage street and sidewalk repairs, downtown bike racks, NORD playground projects, fire houses and more.
Three Fold and Williams appear to have little, if anything, to do with the other people the feds have lined up to testify against Nagin: former aides Greg Meffert and Anthony Jones and contractors Mark St. Pierre, Aaron Bennett and Frank Fradella.
Nagin was expected to fight those allegations by contending he did nothing special for those contractors, even if they did give him exotic vacations or other freebies. For instance, with St. Pierre who paid for Nagin vacations and campaign parties through Meffert Nagin always contended that he thought Meffert had paid, not a vendor.
Or with Fradella -- who pleaded guilty in June to funneling $50,000 to Nagin and sending him truckloads of free granite for the Nagin family countertop firm Nagin could argue that Fradella's company got its city work through open bidding.
But a plea deal from Williams could undercut that defense because of how Three Fold got its city contracts.
'In the Fradella case and the St. Pierre case, there wasn't really a quid pro quo,' said WWL-TV legal analyst Donald'Chick' Foret. 'There was some mechanism set up it appears where there were some third parties involved.... In this case it looks like contracts were given out perhaps in return for perhaps $50,000 in bribes that were sent toward the mayor, C. Ray Nagin.'
The mayor fought a challenge from the City Council and used an executive order so he would have the power to award consulting and management contracts to whomever he wanted, no matter how they measured up against other contractors.
Our sources say that Rodney Williams paid Nagin $50,000 while Three Fold was pursuing a city contract and Nagin turned right around and used the closed door process he'd set up to select Three Fold, even though the company scored so poorly in a review of contract proposals that it was considered unqualified for the job.
The allegations are similar in a couple of ways to those lodged by Fradella when he pleaded guilty in June to conspiring to bribe a public official known to be Nagin. Fradella admitted to funneling $50,000 to Nagin in June 2008, through someone else at his company. Sources have confirmed that person was Michael McGrath, the former chairman of Fradella's company Home Solutions of America -- a man who is now serving time for federal mortgage fraud. Our sources said Nagin gave McGrath documents purporting to transfer to him ownership in Stone Age LLC the granite countertop business Nagin owned with his sons, Jeremy and Jarin. No such ownership transfer was ever reported to the Secretary of State, however.
Similarly, our sources say that Williams got similar documents supposedly giving him a share of Stone Age in exchange for the $50,000 payment. Again, no such transfer was reported publicly before Stone Age went out of business in 2009.
In the case of Williams' alleged arrangement with Stone Age, our sources tell us that Nagin's sons Jeremy and Jarin were also in on the discussions. Given that Nagin's sons were subpoenaed before the grand jury just a few weeks ago, some wonder if they could have some exposure as well.
'If indeed the evidence leads towards the children of Mayor Nagin, then he may be put in a situation where he has to discuss more seriously the possibility of resolving the charges against him so that his children are not charged,'Foret said.
U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office has been known to use such leverage against family members. Prosecutors initially charged Meffert's wife, Linda, with participating in a bribery conspiracy with her husband and St. Pierre, but essentially let her walk when Greg Meffert testified against St. Pierre.
The attorney for Nagin's sons, Clarence Roby Jr., said he could not comment without knowing if the government is pursuing any charges against his clients.
Three Fold managed to fly under the radar for years while landing big money contracts from city hall. Right after Katrina, it served as a subcontractor under two major government contractors, Shaw and MWH Americas.
But it managed to stay out of the limelight when it became a prime contractor itself, even when the state legislative auditor questioned the way Three Fold landed another rich deal from Nagin in 2008. In that particular case, the original contract was a relatively small $79,631 deal to manage lighting repairs at just four city playgrounds. But then the legislative auditor found out that Three Fold was actually getting paid for federally funded work at 23 playgrounds, all under the same contract.
In 2009, Nagin amended the original contract to include an unlimited number of projects.
Just before Nagin left office in 2010, the legislative auditor reported that he couldn't even tell how many jobs Three Fold was working on or how much public money it was taking in.
Meanwhile, Williams and Three Fold backed Nagin with public donations to his election campaigns. Rodney Williams, another former Three Fold official named Charlene Williams and the company itself combined to donate more than $13,000 to Nagin's campaigns.
Reached by cell phone Monday, Williams declined to comment for our story. Nagin's defense attorney, Robert Jenkins, did not respond to requests for comment.
The timing of a possible plea deal with Williams could be important for prosecutors' efforts in other parts of the case. If a deal comes through in short order, sources say the feds will be able to include a charge against Nagin for allegedly getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in free granite from Fradella. The delivery of that granite to Stone Age happened in late 2007, almost five years ago, and there's a statute of limitations of five years for the feds to charge overt acts of fraud. They have at most six weeks to do that for the granite deliveries, and they face other imminent deadlines too, our sources say.
'It looks like there are serious plea bargain discussions that are taking place and I think that if the government is going to make a deal, if the defendant is going to make a deal, now is the time, because the potential charges may well be getting ready to prescribe -- the statute of limitations may be up soon -- and if two parties are going to make a deal, now is the time,' Foret said.
We should also point out that last month Three Fold removed Williams as an officer of the company in secretary of state records.
The company's website does not mention Williams, and Three Fold's managing partners are not believed to be involved in the alleged scheme.

Groovy supports multiple ways to generate text dynamically including GStrings,
printf if you are using Java 5, and MarkupBuilder just to name a few. In addition to these, there is a dedicated template framework which is well-suited to applications where the text to be generated follows the form of a static template.
Template framework
The template framework in Groovy consists of a
TemplateEngine abstract base class that engines must implement and a
Template interface that the resulting templates they generate must implement.
Included with Groovy are several template engines:
SimpleTemplateEngine– for basic templates
GStringTemplateEngine– stores the template as writable closures (useful for streaming scenarios)
XmlTemplateEngine– works well when the template and output are valid XML
Shown here is the
SimpleTemplateEngine that allows you to use JSP-like scriptlets (see example below), script, and EL expressions in your template in order to generate parameterized text. Here is an example of using the system:
While it is generally not deemed good practice to mix processing logic in your template (or view), sometimes very simple logic can be useful. E.g. in the example above, we could change this:
to this (assuming we have set up a static import for capitalize):
or this:
to this:
Advanced Usage Note
If you happen to be embedding your template directly in your script (as we did above) you have to be careful about backslash escaping. Because the template string itself will be parsed by Groovy before it is passed to the the templating framework, you have to escape any backslashes inside GString expressions or scriptlet 'code' that are entered as part of a Groovy program. E.g. if we wanted quotes around The Big Apple above, we would use:
Similarly, if we wanted a newline, we would use:
in any GString expression or scriptlet 'code' that appears inside a Groovy script. A normal "
\n" is fine within the static template text itself or if the entire template itself is in an external template file. Similarly, to represent an actual backslash in your text you would need {{
}} in an external file or {{\\\\}} in any GString expression or scriptlet 'code'. (Note: the necessity to have this extra slash may go away in a future version of Groovy if we can find an easy way to support such a change.)
As an example of using the
GStringTemplateEngine, here is the example above done again (with a few changes to show some other options). First we will store the template in a file this time:
Note that we used
out instead of
GStringTemplateEngine. Because we have the template in a separate file, there is no need to escape the backslashes. Here is how we call it:
and here is the output:
You can also plug in other templating solutions, e.g. GFreeMarker, Velocity, StringTemplate, Canvas and others.
If you wish to combine templating with Ant processing, consider Gpp.
Using TemplateServlet to serve single JSP-like HTML files
Here is a simple example helloworld.html file which is not validating and does not have a
head element. But it demonstrates, how to let Groovy compile and serve your HTML files to web clients. The tag syntax close to JSP and should be easy to read:
The first Groovy block - a for loop - spans the
HelloWorld! text. Guess what happens? And the second Groovy statement prints the servlet's session id - if there is a session avaiable. The variable
session is one of some default bound keys. More details reveals the documentation of
Here is some sample code using http://jetty.mortbay.orgs servlet container. With jetty6.0, copy jetty-6.1.3.jar and jetty-util-6.1.3.jar into $HOME/.groovy/lib, create a tiny web server with the following. To test it, add your above helloworld.html file into your current directory and browse http://localhost:1234/helloworld.html
Here is a similiar web.xml example.

Alert: The following services will be unavailable on Saturday, January 5, 2013 from 12 a.m. (midnight) to 6 a.m. CST due to system maintenance.
Drowsy driving
Stay awake, alive and alert on the road.
Follow these suggestions to help stay alert on the road:
- Get a good night's sleep before long trips.
- If experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness, see a physician.
- On long trips, drive with a companion (who should remain awake) and stop for a break every two hours or 100 miles.
- Avoid alcohol and medications that may affect performance.
- Stay off the road between midnight and 7 a.m., a period when the body's "biological clock" makes virtually everyone feel sleepy.
- Be aware of signs of fatigue: lane drifting, repeated yawning, inability to remember driving the last few miles, difficulty keeping eyes open. If these occur, pull over as soon as possible into a safe area, lock vehicle doors, and take a brief nap. Opening the window and turning on the radio are NOT effective ways to stay awake.
- Drink coffee or another source of caffeine (allow about 30 minutes for the caffeine to take effect).

AKRON, Ohio -- Senior Mac Thoreson struck out a career-high 11 batters, while an unearned run in the seventh inning was the difference in a 2-1 Miami victory over Akron Saturday afternoon at Lee Jackson Field.
With the win -- the third straight in MAC play and the 12th in 18 games since a 2-6 start -- the RedHawks improve to 14-12 overall and 7-1 in the league. Miami is now two games above .500 for the first time this season.
Ryan Elble had a hand in both runs, finishing the day 2-for-3 with a run scored. In the decisive frame, he led off with a single through the left side, took second on a sacrifice by Dan Walsh and came home on a two-out error by the Akron first baseman.
Akron (5-23, 2-6) had taken a 1-0 lead in the third when a leadoff triple was followed by an RBI groundout. The RedHawks (14-12, 7-1) pulled even in the fifth. Elble led off with a bunt single, but a fielder's choice put Walsh at first. Max Andresen singled and Matt Honchel walked to load the bases, setting Alex Johnson up for a sacrifice fly.
Thorseon (3-3) allowed five hits while walking two in his first complete game of the season. John Valek (2-5) took the loss despite a complete-game effort in which he allowed only six hits.
Honchel extended his hitting streak to 11 games by opening the contest with an infield single. Walsh and Chad Sedio had the other RedHawk hits.
The final game of the series is slated for Sunday at 1 p.m.

Drew Michaels
Chief Meteorologist
Drew's fascination with weather and television started at a very early age in the Midwest. Drew was born in Green Bay, Wis., before migrating south toward Northern Illinois.
"Living in the suburbs of Chicago gave me the opportunity to experience some extreme weather conditions. When the weather turned nasty, I loved to watch the great television personalities in Chicago tell me the story," Michaels said. "I was fortunate to discover what I wanted to do since middle school, so I was able to prepare myself for a career in television at a very young age."
Drew graduated from Northern Illinois University with a degree in meteorology and a minor in journalism. While in college, Drew worked as a reporter and meteorologist for CNN Local Headline news in DeKalb, Ill.
Drew joined the 40/29 Super Doppler Weather Team as weekend meteorologist. In 2003 Drew was named Meteorologist for 40/29 Sunrise, and he earned the AMS seal of approval. In 2006 Drew was promoted to Chief Meteorologist for 40/29.
"I'm looking forward to the opportunity to do what I love in tornado alley," Drew said.
One of Drew's most recent memories that molded his interest in weather was the 1990 Plainfield, Ill., tornado that struck about 10 miles from his home.
"That tornado was one of the worst in our history. Many people lost their lives in that storm, so if I can help the public prepare for the weather, I'll be doing my job."
Drew is an active snow skier and has a strong love for the Green Bay Packers. "I have always supported my beloved green and gold, and being born in Green Bay it is a part of me, just like the weather is."
Drew and his wife, Adrienne, welcomed a son, Brett, in 2008, and daughter, Reese, in 2012. They live in Northwest Arkansas, near Rogers.

Latest from all the library blogs.
When we think of December, we think of it as the holiday season. Though most Americans are familiar with Christmas, there are several other holidays that take place in this winter month. Read on for links to learn more about them.
Teens can look forward to several programs this month to celebrate the holidays at the library!
It is November; a time to reflect on things that we are thankful for.
Some folks take it day by day throughout the month, and count their blessings one by one. I've been thinking about all I am thankful for, and, of course I am thankful for family, friends, food on my table, a warm, cozy home and all of the things that most people would consider blessings.
Thousands of books are published every year, and of those, some are judged to be better than the rest in one category or another.
Learn how we made our giant Mockingjay wall pin, and how you can make one too!
Have you heard of the Pickle Principle? At JCPL, the Pickle Principle has become a daily way of making sure that everybody who visits us "gets the pickle!"
The Pickle Principle was hatched by Bob Farrell, an entrepreneur who personally received a letter from a disgruntled customer whose waitress wanted to charge him for an extra slice of pickle on his hamburger.
Tuesday morning as East Coast residents woke to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the pleas were already being made for blood donations, funds donations, and other ways for those of us who can to help our fellow Americans.
Aviation History Month
With only two weeks to go before the general election on Nov. 6, most voters are already secure in their picks for the main races. But the races at the state and community level may still hold some questions for local voters.
Moby Dick is one of those books you might have been required to read in high school or college, and afterward you scrape yourself off the deck, count yourself lucky to have survived, and like its narrator, Ishmael, you attempt to move on.

June 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part I)
Update 07/05/2012: June 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part II)
A (first half of the) month living dangerously…
June has come and strongly confirms that Summer is the preferred month for Cybercrookers: just look back at June 2011 and you will probably remember the days of Lulz of the infamous LulzSec Collective (which curiously seems to be reborn!).
June 2012 has shown a remarkable number of incidents and is proving to be a mensis horribilis (horrible month) for Social Networks and Online Services in general, due to the high profile breaches of LinkedIn, Last.Fm, eHarmony and the online game League of Legends.
On a geographic scale, looks like China is becoming another important source of Cyber incidents, having been targeted from #TeamGhostShell, who claim, inside their #ProjectDragonFly, to have obtained up to 800,000 accounts from different sources.
Hacktivism-led actions seem (apparently) to decline, whilst, on the Cyber Crime front, a new collective, UGNazi, is taking the scene, having confirmed, in the first part of June, the wake of cyber attacks, we have become familiar with for some time.
Another Infosec Summer promising to be very hot!
If you want to have an idea of how fragile our data are inside the cyberspace, have a look at the timelines of the main Cyber Attacks in 2011 and 2012 (regularly updated), and follow @paulsparrows on Twitter for the latest updates.
Also, feel free to submit remarkable incidents that in your opinion deserve to be included in the timeline.

Plaque shares girl's story, reminds others to be careful at ice caves
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
John Tam carries a cross bearing the name of his daughter, Grace, as he hikes to the Big Four Ice Caves on Thursday morning. Grace Tam, 11, died July 31, 2010, from internal injuries after she was struck by a piece of ice while visiting the site with her family.

John Tam (center) pauses at the plaque commemorating his daughter, Grace Tam. Grace�s mother, Tamami, is embraced by Paul Moe, a registered nurse who was hiking with his family that day four years ago and was the first medical professional to respond to Grace�s injuries. Nikolai Ferrell and Adrienne Hall, both with the Forest Service, joined the family Thursday to install a plaque informing visitors about Grace�s story and reminding them to be careful.

Grace Tam�s mother, Tamami, looks at a plaque bearing a picture of her deceased daughter and a message warning visitors to the Big Four Ice Caves to keep their distance.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
A plaque is installed at the site of the Big Four Ice Caves to remember Grace Tam, 11, who died at the site July 31, 2010, and to remind others to be careful.
Grace�s brother and mom leave blueberries and popcorn for her at the memorial.
She shares a smile that is neither mechanical nor obligatory.
The image, taken from a family photo and etched in metal, is of an 11-year-old Marysville girl on her first day of school entering the fifth grade.
Her parents chose this particular snapshot from hundreds of others. It conveys to them a daughter who is a little bit nervous to start another year, but quite self-assured.
Beside the picture are four paragraphs describing the tragic end to Grace Tam's life, and warning others of the dangers the postcard-worthy ice fields can inflict. In the summer, water cascades into avalanche-dumped snow to hollow out the caves, a popular hiking destination about 20 miles east of Granite Falls.
On the fourth anniversary of her death Thursday, Grace's family returned to a site not far from where a large chunk of ice broke free and crushed her. Grace died that afternoon.
Joining her parents and brother were workers from the U.S. Forest Service, an agency the family at one point sued in pursuit of safety reforms around the ice caves. They abandoned the case and chose a different path. On Thursday, the family worked side by side with a Forest Service crew, mixing epoxy to install the plaque and sharing hopes that it will make a difference.
As John Tam took a rag to polish his daughter's likeness to a gleaming shine, he reflected on its beauty but rued its necessity.
"I wish I'm not seeing the plaque," he said. "I appreciate the plaque. I wanted this plaque" but it simply can't replace the daughter he so adored. Grace was an energetic child who loved to write and dreamed of opening a shelter for mistreated pets.
To the Forest Service, the sign is an attempt to spare others from similar loss.
"This is not a memorial," said Adrienne Hall of the Forest Service's Darrington Ranger Station. "This is a safety message."
Officially, that might be the case, but the image of Grace's face makes it seem more than that. It packs more power than other warning signs carved into the nearby granite.
"With the Tams' help, hopefully we can save a life," Hall said.
Grace was sitting on a flat rock, well back from the ice, enjoying a family outing on July 31, 2010. With no warning, a chunk broke free and bounced into her, crushing her pelvis.
Grace remained conscious for more than an hour, but by the time medical help arrived, it was too late.
It is important to the Tam family that people understand Grace never went inside or on top of the caves. Although estimates vary, she was believed to be about 20 feet away from the ice.
The last paragraph on the plaque describes the truth of the seductive spot: "The Tam family wants you to be aware that this is a beautiful but always changing environment. They hope that you enjoy the ice caves and Big Four Mountain only from a distance."
Paul Moe, a registered nurse from south Snohomish County, knows firsthand that is the case. He was hiking with his family near the ice caves the day Grace died. He was there with them Thursday.
Moe has assisted in the operating room for countless brain and spinal surgeries for three decades at Swedish Hospital's First Hill campus in Seattle. He was in the Air Force Reserves for 22 years serving as a flight nurse. He never lost a patient.
On the day Grace died, he worked diligently to keep her alive, hoping that medical help would arrive in time. He gathered people's sweatshirts to make her a bed. He lifted her head onto some rocks to support her neck. He had others bring ice from the field to cool her body to slow the internal bleeding.
He had her family ask Grace questions to try to keep her from losing consciousness while others raced down the trail for help.
They worked on her in a corner of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest where cellphones are rendered useless by the rugged terrain.
What Moe lacked were the medical supplies to help Grace.
"It was very helpless compared to having a big hospital with everything you can dream of to help somebody," he said. "She passed away in my arms. I have been with the family since."
On Thursday, John Tam carried a white wooden cross over his right shoulder on the mile hike to the ice caves. He tried to auger it into the ground, but the rocky spot was too stubborn. He will return another day to finish the job.
The new cross with Grace's name on it will stand near a lavender one he installed on an earlier visit. His wife, Tamami Okauchi, brought lavender-hued roses in honor of Grace's favorite color. Grace's bedroom still is painted in that shade.
Grace's younger brother, William, and her dog, Sugar, joined the gathering on a sun-soaked morning.
John Tam hopes the plaque bearing his daughter's message will be heeded.
"In the end, I wish it would save a life, one at least," he said.

Summer's hot sun and long days beckon visitors to the water and great outdoors. But area officials say safety needs to be a part of the fun.
Pay attention at the pool
Jacksonville Fire Department Capt. Amy Procopio and her department's Water Rescue Team have a number of suggestions for citizens to enjoy the water, but stay secure.
Swimming pools, for instance, should include barriers to keep people safe from falling in on accident. The City's code 14-21 details required fencing for any pool deeper than 18 inches. For more details, visit www.ci.jacksonville.nc.us
The Water Rescue Team also suggests:
· Actively supervise children around water, even when lifeguards are present.
· Do not have children supervise another children in the water.
· Teach children to ask permission to go close to or in the water.
· Make sure everyone in the family can swim.
· Provide flotation devices, but do not rely solely on those devices.
Empty wading pools immediately after using them. Store upside down to avoid the risk of drowning.
Don't take a risk in the waves
When it comes to ocean waters, Carin Faulkner, town clerk and public information officer for the town of North Topsail Beach, said anyone who heads into the ocean should know how to swim and the dangers of riptides.
Faulkner warns swimmers that if they ever find themselves caught in a rip current to not fight it and let it carry them parallel to the shore until the current is weak enough for them to swim back.
And swimmers should never be in the water alone. Someone else should always know when a person is about to head out into the waves.
"Drowning does not look … the way it looks in movies," Faulkner said. "They can't yell. They're out of breath."
To help out those teams on the occasion of water rescues, Faulkner recommends swimmers to wear brightly colored swimsuits rather than dark ones, so rescuers can spot them more easily in the surf.
On the beach, Faulkner said children should be supervised at all times by an adult.
Make time in the woods safe
For those venturing into the woods rather than the surf, staying hydrated and coming prepared is paramount.
Carol Trott, assistant recreation supervisor for Onslow County Parks and Recreation, said water is always the best bet when participating in outdoor activities — better than sports drinks or any other liquids.
She said the department tells campers to pack bug spray (those that include the ingredient deet) and a first aid kit, as well.
When out in the parks, wear close-toed shoes rather than sandals to avoid injuries on tree roots or bug bites.
And always check for ticks.
"All parents should check their children at night when they come in from the outdoors in Onslow County," Trott said.
Parents should check the areas kids can't see themselves: the backs of their legs, arms, their necks and back.
Checking for ticks is vital because of the diseases they can carry.
Last, Trott said the Parks and Recreation Department always encourages its campers to eat breakfast every day.
A healthy breakfast will keep children and parents energized and feeling alert so they can accomplish everything they want while out exploring the great outdoors in summer.

Just about the time I get into the swing of vegan eating, I hear a well respected doctor talk about NOT eating vegetarian/vegan to lose weight. Their info claims that when we replace meat with carbs, we defeat our purpose - especially when low fat meat products help with weight loss. No, this statement was not from an Atkins hype doctor.
Many people (yes, doctors are people too) can have illadvised preconceived misconceptions about the health value of certain foods. Basically, weight loss occurs when we burn more calories than we take in. How healthfully we do that depends on what we eat. Think of it this way, at its most basic, protien and carbohydrates have 4 calories while fats have 7 calories. Looking at it that way, which food would be more beneficial to weight loss? And yes, protein is widely available in plant foods!
Are you fat? What kinds of diets have you been on during your lifetime? Have you ever been vegan before?
Take your time to think and get informed and try the vegan diet. It is the only way you will know what is best for you.
In addition, read "The China Study" and "Whole" in addition to the entire collection of Dr. Neal Barnard's books. You can also listen to these doctors on youtube as well as their colleague, Dr. John McDougall who has himself written dozen of books available on Amazon.com.
You won't live long enough learn everything, so do read what the best has learned thus far.
I think there there are two ways to respond to any body's advice about health:
1. What does the overwhelming amount of evidence (research) show? This helps filter out opinion and bias about nutrition.
2. What works for you?
I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't see the research all day every day showing how effective low-fat, vegan diets can be for health, both for prevention and treatment. I'm determined everyone be aware and try it for themselves!
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
It depends - are you replacing meat with processed carbs (like white flour) or are you replacing meat with things like fruit and veggies and legumes (which all have carbs)? It is possible to be an unhealthy veg*n by using lots of faux products and highly processed things.
Oh, goodness I can relate to this! I am always being told even, to be vegetarian is not wise, this is coming from so many people on the low-carb diets like Atkins or paleo. But they seem to really eat a lot of meat, and we cannot do that. Nor do we want to! I think it is possible to be a vegan, and not over-do it on the carbs. As long as we stick to the healthy grains - brown/wild rice, and many vegetables, i think even the ones that are quite sweet like carrot and beets, they will never make us fat. =)

Perhaps that is actually the problem here. Perhaps this doctor's eyesight just isn't that great. Why not check with him and get back to us.
Wash your back
Actually, this statement was made by Dr. Oz of which Dr. Bernard has been on his show many times. Oz is not only a respected heart surgeon but also has a team of experts who advise him of the latest findings. But I also find that a lot of the info he dishes out conflicts with his prior information.
Well this is embarrassing because not only do I have the greatest respect for Dr Oz, I'm actually also good friends with him. And if I'd known that's who we were talking about I certainly wouldn't've posted what I posted.
With regard to your comment about his "conflicting information", I think what you're seeing is simply a manifestation of his objectivity and sense of balance. His desire to put forward both sides of the argument.
Obviously there's a fine line between putting forward both sides of the argument and having a kind of Jeckyll and Hyde personality disorder, but as someone who's been friends with Dr Oz for many years I can assure you that there's a side to him that treads that line exceedingly well. You just don't often get to see that side of him when he's on the show.
My advice to you is really to try and focus on the show's strengths and ignore all the minor quirks and all the stupid rumours that are currently circulating about Dr Oz. Like the rumour that he's become so conflicted that he often refers his patients to himself for a second opinion. That's actually a bad example because it's semi-true. I've heard it with my own ears. But it's got nothing to do with being conflicted. It's simply a testament to the ambition he often expressed to me when he was starting out. The ambition to become a one-stop shop for people's medical needs. A one-stop shop that, innovatively enough, includes second opinions.
Whimsee, is this information helping at all ?
Kinda, sorta, Theodore! I believe Dr. Oz does a great job at "balance" on his show and I have the utmost respect for him! I get the feeling that he is truly trying to help people.
However, when he presents different subjects on his show, the general public gets the impression that he approves of the subject he's discussing. For instance, today's show was about Paleo Diets. If Dr. Oz said it's OK, everyone follows his advice!
I think we should take anything Dr. Oz presents on his show with a grain of salt. It's a mixed bag. He is trying to entertain America with lots of health information everyday of the week, after all. It's hard to keep it "shocking."
You guys can criticise all you like, but as someone who's been friends with Dr Oz for many years I can assure you that no-one is a harsher critic of Dr Oz than himself. No-one.
I even recall one instance where he wrote a much-needed rebuttal to one of his own blog entries. A week later, he came back with a rebuttal to his rebuttal. Then the week after, he wrote an extremely pertinent (albeit quite insulting) counter-comeback. It was the perfect example of an honest free-thinking leader thrashing out the issues for the benefit of his knowledge-hungry fans. Unfortunately the exchange that continued between Dr Oz as blog author and Dr Oz as commenter became so heated that the moderators had to intervene and eventually ban him (as a commenter). So it turned out to be a somewhat bitter sweet affair, but still a very informative one, and one that really has to be seen to be believed. Ironically enough the moderators deleted the thread, so you can't see it.
Anyway, I guess my point is that criticising Dr Oz is really a futile and unnecessary exercise, because there isn't a criticism of Dr Oz on this earth that he hasn't already levelled against himself. Be it in his own name or under one of his recently created internet pseudonyms.
Theodore - Not criticizing - just saying. I think he does the general public a world of good and tries very hard to keep America informed.
I understand Lisa Oz is a vegetarian. Is Dr. Oz too? I know he loves Greek Yogurt and walnuts but what other things does he eat on a regular basis? He's always so full of energy!
Yeah he's basically vegetarian. He very occasionally eats fish when he's out of the house, but only for social reasons. And only if the fish is one of the non-ambitious varieties. He's not exactly the most sentimental guy I know, but nothing pains him more than the thought of eating an ambitious fish.
He's baaack!
Theodore, go straight to your room!
Whimzee - Theodore gets very hurt feelings if we don't take him seriously (because he's a very serious fellow, right, T?) , but honestly, he's pulling your leg.
If you want to watch interesting nutritional videos, check out the Youtubes of Dr. Joel Fuhrman doing his imitation of Julia Childs. Or is it a French chef? Hard to tell..
All we are saying is "Give Peas a Chance"
You been joshing us all this time Theodore? I'm crushed!!!
Thanks for the laugh, Mariberry. French Dr. Fuhrman was a hoot!
From what I understand Dr Oz's wife eats vegan. Without knowing what it was that he said that was contradictory, it's hard to advise on whether he's actually back peddling or has found some new evidence that we might not be aware of. Perhaps he's not back peddling at all but is just worried about the many people who become vegan and then STILL live on processed foods.
Just last month he posted about going vegan and notes the pitfalls that many people who become vegan do that are either dangerous or not optimal. Personally, I avoid soy. It's one of the top two GMO product in the country and science goes back and forth (almost daily) as to whether it's safe to eat or not.
I've been eating vegan for two months and feel AMAZING! I eat some processed foods, though they are fewer and farther between than before by at least 80%. I make my own hummus, and no longer use canned beans. I try to keep about 90% of my food whole and unprocessed. I do eat pita chips and lentil chips that I don't make myself but almost everything else is homemade from real, fresh ingredients and organic. I sleep like a dog now and before I was lucky to even sleep.
I guess my question is: what did he say that was contradictory? That might help figure out what he was talking about.
Well, for one thing, Dr. Oz doesn't seem to be in the carb loving group. Many times I've heard him say cut down on carb consumption (whether processed, refined or whole).
Then lately he's actually said that eating meat has the ability to help you lose weight. Both of these statements seem contradictory to a healthy vegan diet.
I wish Dr. Bernard would chime in with comments about these statements!

SNAP Feature: Men's Volleyball Set to Take On Div. 1 Ball State on Saturday (Story By: Charles Curcio)
January 27, 2012
Story By: Charles Curcio, Sports Editor, Stanly News and Press
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - This Saturday is a date for Pfeiffer athletics that has been circled on the calendar for a long time. The Pfeiffer men's volleyball squad opens its season with a home game against a true NCAA Division I opponent in Ball State. Saturday's game has been designated as a "blackout" day, with all Pfeiffer fans asked to wear black to both the men's volleyball game and the basketball games later in the day with Belmont Abbey.
Men's volleyball has only been a sport at Pfeiffer since 2010, and the conference itself has been adding programs as well, up to seven this coming season. The NCAA only plays men's volleyball in one division, which gives the Falcons the opportunity to play and recruit against teams that are among the biggest schools in the country.
"It proves that we are emerging in the sport and can compete with those higher levels," Pfeiffer head coach Steve Bintz said.
