RANDI KAYE, CNN ANCHOR: A killer on the loose in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Four shootings that left three dead may be connected and now the FBI is involved.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The whole thing was in flames, the whole backyard.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KAYE: A fighter jet turns a Virginia apartment building into a ball of fire. What was behind this fiery crash?
And a quarter past the hour we put the jobs report in focus.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We've got a lot more work to do.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KAYE: Its impact on the election and the new normal for unemployment.
And later, are you ready for a computer display that gets up close and personal? Google's new invention wants to get inside your head. CNN SATURDAY MORNING starts right now.
Good morning, everyone. It is 8:00 a.m. on the East Coast. I'm Randi Kaye. Let's get right to the manhunt in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Three people are dead. Police, the FBI and the U.S. marshals are all on the case looking for what they think is a lone shooter. We're hearing that the suspect drove up to people on the street to ask directions and then he started shooting. There have been four incidents. It started Friday morning with the first shooting in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. The first person shot later died.
Just about three minutes later another shooting a short drive away and two men were shot in that incident. Both survived and may be helping the police investigation. About 50 minutes after the first shooting, we had our second death. Fifty-four-year-old Bobby Clark was shot. He died at the hospital and finally, more than seven hours after the first killing, we have the fourth and hopefully last. Thirty-one-year- old William Allen was shot in the chest.
Joining me now on the phone is Tulsa city Councilman Jack Henderson. Good morning Mr. Henderson. Can you tell us the very latest there in terms of where the shootings were taking place? These were all in a predominantly black neighborhood, correct?
JACK HENDERSON, TULSA, OKLAHOMA CITY COUNCIL (via telephone): Correct.
KAYE: And the shooter is a white male from what we understand. Is this being looked at as a late crime?
HENDERSON: Well, the Tulsa branch of the NAACP - that's what they're calling it. I am calling it a hate crime simply because it was a predominantly Afro-American community and a white shooter and only people that had been shot thus far is Afro-Americans, so as a past president of the NAACP for seven years, I wouldn't know nothing else to call it other than that.
KAYE: From what we understand, this suspect would ask somebody for directions and then open fire. Is that what those who survived this are saying?
HENDERSON: One of the incidents, for sure, a statement was made that this person drove up to them in a white truck and asked them for information and directions and they proceeded to tell him they didn't really know but maybe it's down the street a little farther and as they were walking away, opened fire on them.
KAYE: Did he say anything besides asking for directions, has anybody said?
HENDERSON: I haven't gotten any of that information yet. I do know that the Tulsa police department had a large amount of men and women working on this case and they have committed to 24/7, whatever it takes, to find this perpetrator and that's a good thing.
KAYE: Are there any leads at all? We know the U.S. marshals are involved, the FBI, any leads at all on who this person might be or a vehicle tag, plate number or anything?
HENDERSON: No. Thus far there is going to be some meetings today that I'm going to be involved in with the police department as well as the mayor and more information probably is to come, an update on what's going on and things like that. I do know that the main concern that I had as a councilman for this district is to try to set peoples' minds at ease that we do have police that are checking out every lead possible, but I also need people to work with the police. I need them to tell anything that they know. We have a segment of this community that has not in the past not wanting to work with the police and I don't know for what reason, but we need to put that behind us and we need to give any information we have, anything we have seen, heard or even thought you might have heard. Call the police, tell them what we know so we can help bring this person to justice.
KAYE: Councilman Henderson, appreciate your time and do keep us up to date there if you will. Thank you.
HENDERSON: I most certainly will and I will be talking to the mayor and I can give you a number that you can reach him off line.
KAYE: OK. We'll do that. Thank you.
A grand jury is expected to convene next week to take up the Trayvon Martin case. The 17-year-old was shot and killed by a neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman. Zimmerman said it was self-defense. Protesters have criticized the Sanford, Florida police who did the investigation.
CNN's Ashley Banfield talked with one witness about the investigation and we altered the witness' voice to protect their identity.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ASHLEY BANFIELD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: What kind of questions did they ask you?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Just what I saw, what I heard.
BANFIELD: Did they seem interested? Were they in depth in their questioning of you?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I am not sure if I would say in-depth, just that I kind of told what I saw and heard. I did offer to show them where I did see the incident and they said, we don't need to see it.
BANFIELD: They weren't interested in you taking them to that location?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, they were not.
BANFIELD: Why do you suppose they weren't interested?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You'd have to ask them that.
BANFIELD: Were you surprised?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't know how investigators think.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KAYE: That witness also talked about hearing cries for help from Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman's attorneys dispute that account.
Your tax dollars at work this morning, you're not going to be very happy. There is new video now of skits played at a government agency gathering that has lawmakers asking new questions about government spending. This one is called angry office clown.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Dreams, dreams are like rainbow. Only idiots chase them and government. You think the problems we create are bad. Just wait until you see our solutions.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KAYE: The Huffington Post posted videos of the skits on the website and these are members of the government's General Services Administration. The GSA came under fire for a merely $1 million convention in Las Vegas paid for by you, the taxpayer. Also on your bill is about half a million dollars in employee gifts like iPods.
Last week's massive mega millions jackpot winner has come forward but wants to remain anonymous so lottery officials presented the big check to a cardboard poster figure in Kansas. There is also a woman in Maryland who says she won, but she can't find her ticket. Someone bought the other winning ticket in Illinois. The winners are each getting around $218 million before taxes.
New unemployment numbers released show hiring rates for businesses slowed dramatically in March and that means getting a job is becoming more competitive. Coming up, how to make sure your resume sets you apart from the rest of the field.
Plus, tired of carrying around all your gadgets? How about this, a smart phone in the form of glasses. Google unveiled this video and it's got a whole lot of people talking including us. We'll take a closer look at the technology and how it soon might be available to you.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(JOINED IN PROGRESS)
KAYE: ... calling for it to be closed for good. The plant shut down in January after a small radioactive leak. There was a problem with pipes in one of the generators. The pipes are fixed, but the plant will stay closed until they figure out why the pipes leaked. The plant powers around 1.5 million homes near San Clemente.
Almost 13 million Americans are unemployed and many of them are flooding the job market with resumes. What can you do to set your resume apart? We're asking the president of JB Training Solutions next.
And once your resume is in shape, you want to make sure you look and feel your best for that big interview. So coming up, I will talk with a nutritionist that says you should cut back on the sugar if you want to stay in top shape.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KAYE: Just about 20 minutes from now we should get a briefing on that mechanical failure being blamed for a Navy fighter jet crash into an apartment building in Virginia Beach. Our Sandra Endo is back with us. She is live in Virginia Beach. Sandra, what can you tell us? What's the latest?
SANDRA ENDO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Randi, a remarkable new development this morning as emergency crews have been working over night looking through the destructed five buildings behind me in this apartment complex. The jet crashed down affecting 40 units here of this senior citizens' apartment complex and we caught up with the fire battalion chief earlier this morning and here is what he says is the very latest.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The very latest we have accounted for everybody in the apartment manifest and now we can't give it 100 percent all clear because we don't know if there were guests in the area, family members, because it is a holiday weekend but we've searched all buildings, primary and secondary search and even in the collapsed building got down to the slab and we're quite confident that we're happy to report up to this time that there is no fatalities.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ENDO: Extraordinary news that there are no fatalities so far. Everyone has been accounted for. They are not searching for anyone missing or unaccounted for. So that certainly new developments over night. In total, seven people were injured from this crash including the two pilots who ejected moments before the jet touched down. Randi.
KAYE: And Sandra, how are those pilots doing today?
ENDO: Well, incredibly, the pilot is actually, one of them, is actually still in the hospital and we know from hospital officials this morning that that pilot is in good condition this morning. All other injuries, they were treated and released. That's including the second pilot that was on board and who ejected as well, so seven people in total taken to the hospital, six treated and released. One pilot is still in the hospital but in good condition.
KAYE: Sandra Endo, thank you very much. Appreciate the update.
This morning we're putting the new jobs report in focus. Here are the numbers most of you might have already seen, 120,000 jobs added, 8.2 unemployment rate. The new report of course is a disappointment for experts who expected more new jobs. Here is where the jobs are. In case you're looking, the leisure and hospitality industry added the most, 39,000, then came manufacturing with 37,000 and 26,000 in health care. The biggest job losses came in retail.
So this hour, our focus is building your resume, rebooting it. People are getting creative with more competition out there, of course. How do you get your foot in the door without having to send your resume attached to a shoe?
Brad Harsh is the president of JP Training Solutions. He's giving us some good tips this morning.
Brad, good morning to you. Are resumes still the best way to stand out of a crowd?
BRAD HARSH, AUTHOR, "CONFESSIONS OF A RECRUITING DIRECTOR": You know, believe it or not they still are. There are a lot of other techniques, but ultimately as a recruiting director and I used to be one, you need to get a snapshot of a candidate in some way, shape or form in an effort to figure out if they're going to be the right person for the job. So that one or two sheets of paper that comprises the resume still the best way to go.
KAYE: I know you have shared with us some common mistakes that people make when writing that resume. The first you say is that people write job description resumes as opposed to accomplishment resumes. What do you mean?
HARSH: Basically what most people do and I am telling you I've read 10,000 resumes so I've seen it all. Most people describe what they have done as well as what anyone has ever done in the history of the job. They merely describe their position, so if they're a sales associate they will put a bullet point that says sold merchandise to customers.
I'd argue that every sales associate in the history of the world has ever done that and what people need to do is write what I call accomplishment resumes. What did they do that was specific? What did they do that was different, that was unique? What is quantifiable about what they actually accomplished?
KAYE: Another mistake that you say some people make is writing resumes that are too long, too detailed, maybe too personal, but how do you fit 20 plus years of experience if you have it into one or two pages?
HARSH: That's a great point. What I advise people to do is really focus on what you have been doing most recently and what's most relevant to the next job that you're going into. So even if you have 20 years of job experience, the fact of the matter is right now I don't care what you did as an intern in 1995. That's going to be less relevant to me. So you can still list those jobs on your resume but don't give me a lot of bullets points again about accomplishments on how you helped launch the new C plus program that is no longer relevant in the world today. Focus on what you did most recently.
KAYE: You say to avoid language like hard working and great leader. I would think some people would think that's a good idea. So why should we avoid that?
HARSH: I call those self-ascribed attributes. Anyone in the world can write on their resume that they're hard working, that they have great communication skills, that they're a wonderful leader. There is no test or law that you have to pass to show that you can do that. So as a recruiting director reading thousands of resumes, you tend to get very skeptical.
I always say it this way. If you weren't hard working would you right moderately hard worker with so-so communication skills? So anyone can write that stuff. I don't believe it. I want to see it proven. What I tell people is, if you're a great communicator, write great communication skills having delivered more than 60 presentations to audiences as large as 1,000 people. You can put those on there. Just prove it to me.
KAYE: Got it. Now, LinkedIn published a list of the most over-used resume words. The top five are creative; also, organizational, effective, extensive experience, track record.
Do recruiters look out for these words? Do they look out for things that might grab their attention?
HARSH: They do look for things that grab their attention, but as you just heard, those are so over used that they no longer have much application or interest for recruiting director.
So, again, you can put those things on there, but then show me in the context of the resume, show me in your bullet points, show me perhaps in your summary why you have those skills, what you're proven track record is. Don't just write proven track record of success. That means nothing. Those become vapid words with no meaning.
KAYE: Brad, thank you very much. Listen, I hope anybody watching today was taking good notes there for all of your tips and hopefully they'll find themselves a job. Thank you.
HARSH: Thank you.
KAYE: Here is a question. Can wearing glasses make you smarter? Google is developing a new product that puts your smart phone right in front of your face. You're watching CNN SATURDAY MORNING where news doesn't take the weekend off.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KAYE: So are your hands too busy to deal with the smart phone? Google wants to put your phone into something that actually looks like a pair of glasses. The company released this video of the concept on YouTube.
All right. I don't know about you, but that is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. As you can see, these various icons pop up on your personal head's up display. Are we ready for a computer experience that really kind of gets inside our head? HLN digital lifestyle expert Mario Armstrong joining me now from Baltimore. Mario, this is just amazing to watch. How does this work?
MARIO ARMSTRONG, DIGITAL LIFESTYLE EXPERT: I know.
KAYE: It is incredible. You look outside and you look at the window and it pops up the temperature. It's incredible.
ARMSTRONG: Yeah, this is real technology. This exists today. It is called augmented reality.
KAYE: So is this something that would actually replace the smart phone?
ARMSTRONG: You know, not right away, but eventually absolutely. It could replace the smart phone. I don't think it's going to replace it within the next few years. But certainly there will be no reason to carry the smart phone around with you if your glasses can do everything that your phone can do. These glasses are being controlled by voice. There is even a part of the clip where in the Google glasses, they actually show a video called it is taking place. So it is definitely something that they're seeing is merging their Android operating system which is on their smart phones into a pair of glasses.
KAYE: Yeah. It is really wild. It is incredible to have that conversation. I saw that where the woman actually jumps into the glasses and has that conversation.
ARMSTRONG: Right.
KAYE: How would this work? I can't imagine people in New York City or LA walking around and wouldn't they be bumping into everything so focused on all those icons?
ARMSTRONG: No. I hear you. I hear you. So the glasses only cover one eye. They go over one eye and they really don't cover the whole eye and it is transparent so that you can see right through that. This is interesting, though. I actually personally experienced what this would kind of be like almost 10 years ago, Randi. There was a company called Cybernaut and they were producing wearable computers and so I actually was wearing - I think we have an image of me wearing a computer that hangs over my eye and I was actually navigating around in grocery stores and every day life. It was connected to a computer pack that was on my waist.
KAYE: I can only imagine what you looked like.
ARMSTRONG: That was part of the reason of doing it to get other peoples' reactions as well as to see, can I actually maintain a sense of my awareness and not walk into things around me.
KAYE: How did it go?
ARMSTRONG: I found that it took a second to get used to it but you yes, can absolutely do it. People were definitely like what is wrong with this dude?
KAYE: I am sure. How close is the project glass that Google has and how close is it to becoming reality? When can we get this?
ARMSTRONG: If you look at their history of the projects which comes out of their lab called Google X labs - it's very highly secretive lab of theirs. They have other projects some of which are out like the driverless car, at least out to the fact that we can see that it really worked. Then they have other things that they're working on like space elevators. This particular project, though, I can see this happening within the next 12 to 24 months. We don't know. We don't have an official word from Google as to when these glasses would be out. We do know they want them out in the wild over the next few months to get feedback and get some tests back from the engineers and others. So I do believe because, look, they're in the search engine business and they're in the ad sales business. There is no reason why if you're wearing these glasses and you look at a car dealership, you can get a competing ad from a nearby car dealership in your lenses. Why not?
KAYE: So is anybody else working on anything like this or just them?
ARMSTRONG: This is really a great question you ask. I think there is a lot of promise in augmented reality in medical field and also tourism. We have a photo of an entrepreneur named Jacob Goswell (ph) who is from a company called Juxtopoia (ph). Now his goggles are a little bit bigger, but the technology is the same. Really it is being utilized right now for people in health care so that a surgeon can be able to operate on a particular individual and get other data while they're doing it. There are other apps that consumers now use. There is a subway app in New York. If you're in New York, you take your phone's camera, scan the area that you're in and it will show you on the physical image it will show you digital data of where the nearest subway is to you.
KAYE: Wow.
ARMSTRONG: Even one called spot crime too that can actually do this for a crime mapping. How cool is this Randi? You're in a neighborhood or you're moving to a neighborhood and you're thinking about buying a house. You take your phone's camera. You use the spot crime app and you will see the actual homes and you'll see images of different crime alerts within that image and then you can click on the crime alert to see what type of crime activity happened in that neighborhood.
KAYE: Looks like the bad guys in that app.
ARMSTRONG: That's right.
KAYE: Mario, very cool stuff. This is really fun. I look forward to it. Thank you.
ARMSTRONG: The future is not too far away. You will be wearing a pair of these soon.
KAYE: A nice pink stylish pair, I hope.
ARMSTRONG: Yeah. We'll have them in a variety of colors.
KAYE: And of course you can join us every Saturday at this time as Mario Armstrong gives us the scoop on the latest cool technology.
A moment on the lips and a lifetime not just on your hips but also maybe on your heart. Why some people say sugar could be toxic.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KAYE: It is half past the hour. Welcome back. I am Randi Kaye. Thanks for starting your day with us.
We expect a news briefing to start at any moment now into yesterday's Navy fighter jet crash. The aircraft crashed into several apartment buildings in Virginia Beach. The Navy is blaming it on a catastrophic mechanical malfunction. Seven people were injured including the two pilots and three still unaccounted for.
One of the highest Army posts in the world is slammed with an avalanche and now one 100 Pakistani soldiers are trapped. A rescue operation is under way. Pakistani military officials say no deaths have been confirmed.
And take a good look at these idyllic paintings. Because the popular painter behind them, Thomas Kinkade has died. Kinkade was only 54. His family says that he passed away from natural causes at his California home yesterday. Kinkade who called himself The Painter of Light completed more than 1,000 paintings.
Now to a manhunt in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the gunman who killed three people. Police, the FBI and the U.S. Marshal Service are all on the case looking for what they think is a lone shooter. We're hearing that the suspect drove up to people on the street, asked directions and then opened fire.
There have been four incidents. It all started Friday morning with the first shooting in a predominantly African-American neighborhood the first person shot later died. Just about three minutes after that another shooting a short drive away, two men were shot in that incident and both survived and may actually be helping in the investigation.
About 50 minutes after the first shooting we had a second death. 54 year-old Bobby Clark was shot and died at the hospital and finally, more than seven hours after the first killing a fourth and hopefully last, 31-year-old William Allen was shot in the chest.
I talked with Tulsa City Councilman Jack Henderson this morning about these shootings.
(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)
HENDERSON (via telephone): What we were trying to do was to assure the citizens that we don't need anybody to go and take matters into their own hands. We want to give the police department an opportunity and to support them in trying to apprehend this person.
We need to cooperate with the police I know that there is pockets of people that have not traditionally done that, but this is a crisis situation and a lot of people are afraid for their lives, afraid for their children, afraid for their loved ones. And if you can't walk outside or walk down the street of the city that you live in, then that's definitely a problem.
(END AUDIO CLIP)
KAYE: Tulsa police formed a joint task force with the local FBI office as well as the U.S. Marshal Service to help the investigation in case these do turn out to be hate crimes.
All right, before you add another spoon full of sugar to your morning coffee, well, you might want to listen to what my next guest has to say. Your health could depend on it.
But first, "Travel Insider"; as CNN reporters and producers, we often have the inside scoop on great places to visit and relax. CNN Associate producer Nesta Distin takes a look at an all day Korean sauna.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
NESTA DISTIN, CNN ASSOCIATE PRODUCER: I'm Nesta Distin in Duluth, Georgia at one of my favorite places to relax. The Jeju Sauna is modeled after traditional Korean spas that are popular in Korea. They're affordable and a common getaway for families.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It is very relaxing here.
DISTIN: A family band (ph) on tour from Philadelphia decided to come here and take a break.
DIVER WAXING, SPA VISITOR: My favorite part was swimming in the pool.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The pool feels like silk when you are swimming in it.
DISTIN: The swimming pool and the floors are made of jade and tiles. In Korean culture, jade is used to bring calm and balance to the body. Like spas in Korea, Jeju has multiple hot and cold saunas. There are seven.
Each has walls lined with natural elements like gold, charcoal and salt, with temperatures ranging from 120 degrees to 140 degrees. The ice room is much cooler. Owners say it's the largest of its kind in Georgia.
The Jeju Spa just outside of Atlanta, I love coming here to relax.

KAYE: Here is a quick look at some entertainment news creating a whole lot of buzz this morning.
It is official. After seven years of marriage, Heidi Klum has officially filed for divorce from pop star Seal. They were known for their PDA, including several renewals of their wedding vows. The couple who has four children separated in January.

KAYE: And drama seems to be brewing off screen. "Hunger Games" director Gary Ross told CNN last month he was on board for the sequel "Catching Fire" but new reports now say Ross may be out. Money, schedules and timing were reportedly the big issue. Lion's Gate isn't confirming, denying or commenting.
And forget about those Ryan Seacrest rumors because Matt Lauer is sticking around "The Today Show". The long time co-host made the announcement Friday after months of speculation that he was not going to renew his contract. Lauer has reportedly signed a quote "long-term deal with NBC".
Let's talk about your health now -- heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, three different diseases. But they share one common link, too much sugar. And now recent studies suggest that sugar may actually be toxic.
Joining me is nutritionist Rovenia Brock, she's the author of "Dr. Ro's 10 Secrets to Living Healthy". Welcome to you Dr. Ro.
ROVENIA BROCK, NUTRITIONIST: It's a pleasure to be with you.
KAYE: Well good. Well nice -- we're so happy to have you here because sugar is getting a lot of attention.
BROCK: It is.
KAYE: And you know a lot of people who might be watching are wondering is it good, is it bad, how much should I be having? So what exactly does excess sugar do to your body?
BROCK: Well, it can potentially overload your liver you know and cause hypertension because of it. Overload your kidneys, also related to the hypertension. It can cause belly fat. You know the liver's job is to clear toxins out of the body.
I'm not calling sugar a toxin. I'm not so sure that it is toxic but it can and sugar substitutes together can have toxic effects on the body.
KAYE: Like inflammation which is also really bad.
BROCK: Inflammation, arthritis, swelling, weight gain, belly fat which also exacerbates an overarching health problem or cluster of health problems like hypertension and type 2 diabetes, heart disease and the like.
KAYE: So what does it do? It just clogs your arteries and things?
BROCK: No sugar doesn't clog your arteries but it can produce, it can cause your body to produce more cholesterol, so it can increase LDL, the bad cholesterol levels and that can lead to heart disease.
KAYE: Americans should eat, from what I understand, about 150 calories of sugar, the equivalent of that or I guess one can of soda, it would be each day. But we're eating apparently three times that amount.
BROCK: Yes easily.
KAYE: And it's not -- right. And it's not just what's your candy or -- or cookies. There are -- there are hidden sugars you say as well. BROCK: Yes you know actually, Randi about 35 percent of the sugars that Americans consume come from beverages. So we're talking sports drinks, energy drinks, some protein shakes that are supposed to be good for you, protein bars, but we're also talking about salad dressings and ketchup and, you know, breads and cereals and crackers and the list goes on and on even to beef and turkey jerky.
KAYE: Wow and it's not even always listed as sugar, right?
BROCK: No.
KAYE: It's all under other names that we have no idea what they mean so we don't even know if sugar is on the label.
BROCK: Yes, high fructose corn syrup happens to be another one or corn sugar. But anything with sugar in it, the name sugar in it, is definitely going to indicate it.
KAYE: Got it. Two steps that you have to reduce the amount of sugar we eat. What are they?
BROCK: Yes well you know, we, first we have sugar, we eat -- I want you to get rid of white sugar. That's the first thing, ok.
KAYE: That's the bad stuff.
BROCK: Yes that's the bad stuff. It's going to lead to all of these diseases we talked about. And then I want you to incorporate you know if you -- because we're talking added sugar, right? So take a teaspoon of raw sugar and replace that, the white sugar with that. The other thing is many people are trying to cut sugar by adding zero calorie sweeteners which can have a toxic effect on your body.
(CROSSTALK)
KAYE: Right.
BROCK: And cause you to crave more sugar and so you eat more. So here is what I want you to do. If you're hooked on zero-calorie sweeteners, take one teaspoon of your sweetener maybe it's one and add a teaspoon of raw sugar to cut down the amount of each right?
KAYE: Right.
BROCK: To wean yourself off. The other thing is you can replace sugar with two other things, either organic agave nectar which has a low glycemic index so leaves the blood -- the blood -- the blood stream and takes slower time to leave the blood stream.
The other thing is my personal favorite, coconut fat sugar. Only 10 calories per tea spoon compared to 16 empty calories in sugar and loaded with b vitamins and minerals like potassium and magnesium and amino acids.
KAYE: You know I have used the agave. And it's so sweet so you really don't need that much of it. BROCK: Yes.
KAYE: Actually, which goes a long way.
BROCK: Yes.
KAYE: For overall health what types of foods do you recommend?
BROCK: You know, you really need to eat copious amounts of colorful vegetables and fruit. I can't say this enough. Because the chemical compounds found in the pigments of those colors go a long way to protect from you these diseases chronic diseases that we talked about earlier.
So lots of vegetables and fruit and let's get away from that brown and beige, meat and potatoes American diet they got us this fixing the first place.
KAYE: Yes somebody once said to me don't eat anything if you have to unwrap it.
BROCK: Good, good point.
(CROSSTALK)
KAYE: And it stuck with me.
BROCK: Yes which leads me to the other point and that is about cutting out processed foods. You want to eat more natural. Eat whole foods. Ok so when it comes to grains, you want sprouted grains, think (inaudible) bread and cereals.
KAYE: Those are good.
BROCK: And they contain much more fiber and protein and so they do the job of also staying around in the blood stream and for the intended purpose and that is giving you energy and sustained energy.
KAYE: Sprouted bread is better than the flour.
BROCK: Yes, you definitely want to get rid of all white flour for sure.
KAYE: Yes, yes.
BROCK: But sprouted breads and cereals are whole grain that give you sustained and had lasting energy. They are the good kind of carbs that you want to eat.
KAYE: Well I'll tell you I can use some sustained lasting energy.
BROCK: I bet you could.
KAYE: I think we all could. That was great. Dr. Ro I appreciate it.
BROCK: It's always a pleasure. KAYE: Thank you.

KAYE: Good morning, Atlanta. It is Saturday, April 7th. Welcome back, everyone, to CNN SATURDAY MORNING.
Round three of the Masters Golf Tournament starts in just about 30 minutes. The first group is scheduled to tee off at 9:15 Eastern time. A couple of weeks ago Tiger Woods won his first PGA golf tournament in nearly three years and some expected him to make a run at another green jacket.
Joe carter is here now to talk about this. So, good morning to you.
JOE CARTER, HLN SPORT: Good morning to you as well.
KAYE: Things aren't going quite as planned for Tiger.
CARTER: Well, no, no. Not exactly. He was the odds-on favorite coming into the weekend to just take it away and win the Masters. But obviously it is not happening the way that a lot of people predict it would happen but Tiger has made up big deficits in the past so don't count him out yet.
KAYE: Ok.
CARTER: He's got a lot of work to do but barely made the cut yesterday, frustration all day, really on 16, if you see from the video, it was really sort of the boiling point for him. Coming on 16 here, his ball goes way right, drops the club and even kicks the club off to the side. It was an up and down day for him. It was his worst Friday ever at the Masters.
He starts today eight shots back of the co-leaders. So like I said, he's got a lot of work to do but don't count him out just yet.
The tournament could have gotten away from Phil Mickelson but he fought back late with a nice charged Friday and finished with four birdies including 1 and 18 that really fired up the crowd and Phil himself. He shot a 68, just what he said he needed to do to get back in the hunt. He starts today three shots behind the co-leaders.
And speaking of the co-leaders: one is Jason Dufner, the other is Freddie Couples --
KAYE: Wow.
CARTER: -- 52-year-old Freddie Couples --
KAYE: Amazing. CARTER: -- still in the spotlight at the Masters. He turned back the clock yesterday, shot a 67, ironically the same second round score he carded back in 1992, which was the one and only time he won the Masters. He is 52. And if he were to win this tournament, a lot of holes yet to be played, he would be the oldest by six years to win the green jacket. Of course, Jack Nicklaus, 46 at the time, is the oldest to ever to win the Masters.
KAYE: Well, as long we're on the subject of age, I understand one Major League Baseball player is making some pretty big headlines.
CARTER: You know, he is proving that like Freddie Couples age is just a number. Jamie Moyer is the starting pitcher tonight for the Colorado Rockies. He's 49 years old and if he beats the as Houston Astros tonight, he will be the oldest pitcher in Major League Baseball to win a game.
KAYE: Amazing.
CARTER: He was born in 1962 with some other big name athletes like Bo Jackson, Jerry Rice, Roger Clemens, Darryl Strawberry also born in 1962 and of course their athletic careers have come and gone but Moyer is still ticking and we'll see what happens tonight.
KAYE: We wish him luck. That's fantastic.
CARTER: It is a great story. It really is.
KAYE: Yes.
CARTER: A lot of people counted him out. He was out with injury last year, had Tommy John surgery. He's back so we'll see. It should be exciting.
KAYE: All right. Nice to see you, Joe.
CARTER: You, too.
KAYE: A new jobs report sheds light on the country's recovery. In the next hour, we'll put the number in focus and take a closer look at the new normal for unemployment rates.
Plus, Jewish people around the world celebrating Passover; do you know what the foods at the Seder meal symbolize? We'll give you a taste of this religious tradition.
But first a Colorado brewery is giving beer drinkers a whole new taste of the Rockies. It's also helping the environment in the process.
Reynolds Wolf has the story in the "Start Small, Think Big".
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
REYNOLDS WOLF, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): They say that Colorado's home to the Rocky Mountains, some amazing skiing and one very unique brew master. Chris Asher is giving the state a fresh new taste -- its first all-organic brewery.
CHRIS ASHER, ASHER BREWING: I've always wanted to own a brewery since college. I kind of saw this soft spot in the market and decided to make an organic IPA.
WOLF: All the ingredients in beer at Asher Brewing are organically grown and processed, allowing Chris to tap into a new section of the beer market.
(on camera): You guys are all really pioneers when it comes to this type of organic brewery, aren't you?
ASHER: Well, we seem to be the only people in Colorado who have done the all organic brewery and it is kind surprising that in the Boulder Market where there is all these other organic food companies that no one else has kind of tried what we're doing.
(voice-over): Word is spreading quickly.
ASHER: Restaurants started calling and saying you have organic beer? We'll put it on. They hadn't even tried it, yet.
WOLF (on camera): What matters most, the idea is they're coming through these doors because you have organic beer or just because you've got a great product?
ASHER: We have some of each. Some people come in just because we're organic, but other people come in and just want to try a new beer and they don't care that it is organic. They just care that it is good beer.
WOLF (voice-over): Reynolds Wolf, CNN.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KAYE: Jews around the world are marking the beginning of Passover. It began at sun down last night and it's one of the most important Jewish holidays.
Nadia Bilchik is here to share a little background on the holiday and the traditions for this "Morning's Passport".
Why is it called Passover? I learned this as a little girl very long ago. But help me remember.
NADIA BILCHIK, CNN EDITORIAL PRODUCER: So a good reminder that when the Jews were in Egypt, the Israelite slaves were in Egypt and Moses had asked God to let my people go -- Moses had asked Pharaoh to "Let my people go", and he hadn't. He then visited the plagues and there were ten plagues and the last plague was that he smites the first born child of all the Egyptians and he passed over those of the Israelite's children.
KAYE: So that's why it's called Passover. BILCHIK: That's Passover.
KAYE: And obviously what we have at every Passover dinner or Passover Seder as we call it is the Seder plate.
BILCHIK: Yes.
KAYE: But everything, you know, it is not just little items. Each one has its own significance here, right. Can you walk us through a few of them here?
BILCHIK: Well, We start with the horse radish here which is a bitter herb and that really symbolizes the bitterness of slavery and the bitterness of the experience of being enslaved.
KAYE: And the egg?
BILCHIK: And the egg is the symbol of life and continuity. Also, if you think about it, an egg actually hardens as you boil it, so as the Israelites suffered the adversity so as a people so they were strengthened.
KAYE: Very nice and what about the greens here?
BILCHIK: And the green is the parsley and that symbolizes spring and the awakening and new life and a beginning and you dip it in the salt water.
KAYE: Ok. And then it's all coming back to me now.
BILCHIK: The salt water being the tears.
KAYE: Right, right. And then this is a mix of apples and honey.
BILCHIK: Apples and nuts and honey. I made mine quite delicious. And this is to symbolize the mortar that made the bricks for the many, many storehouses that the Israelite slaves had to build under the hard iron rule of pharaoh
KAYE: And the shank bone.
BILCHIK: And the shank bone is the sacrificial lamb the night before the Israelites -- let's put it this way the night before the boys were passed over, they sacrificed a lamb and the blood from the lamb went on the doors of the boys who were passed over.
KAYE: Got it.
Now, very quickly here, we have the matan (ph), so we only eat unleavened bread, right?
BILCHIK: Because of the rush, the terrible rush the people were in so the bread wouldn't rise -- didn't have time to rise. But also interesting the Matan is very fragile. If you do that, look, it splinters and that is symbolic of life which is fragile and also splinters. KAYE: And we know we drink wine and we recline to relax.
BILCHIK: That's right. Lots of wine and lots of reclining because in slavery it was hard and very arduous so we do the opposite during the Passover Seder.
KAYE: All right. I'm going to have some of this because I'm a little hungry this morning. Nadya --
(CROSSTALK)
KAYE: I will, I will, thank you very much.
BILCHIK: Thank you.
KAYE: A new jobs report sheds light on the country's economic recovery. In the next hour of NEWSROOM we're breaking down the numbers and taking a closer look at which demographic is most likely to land a new job.
