Its been making those since last september. In a statement, the federal open Market Committee said its waiting for evidence that progress will be sustained before adjusting the wais of its purchases. The stimulus has pumped cash into the mortgage and bond markets, keeping Mortgage Rates and borrowing costs low. That has fueled the red hot Housing Market and spurred stocks to a 20 gain over the past year. Many investors expect stocks to go higher. Good news for 401 k s but only half the country is invested in stocks. There are fewer people working but fewer people who are looking for work and so that meant that the Unemployment Rate came down but for the wrong reasons. Reporter companies are used to getting by with fewer workers since the recession. That and slow Economic Growth but ben bernanke and whoever succeeds him in a tough spot. Goldman sachs saying the next potential window for this tapering of the fed might be the december fed reserve meeting. Stay tuned. There is a meeting in object, too. If were going to ride a wave, hopefully were all on it. What does this mean for the regular family. The most important thing here is the fed is trying to create jobs, create an economic environment where we can have jobs. I was at a Conference Last Week for the working poor. Progressive economists, concerned about the fed pulling back too soon. They said it would be people on the margins who would feel it first. The first beneficiaries, you could argue, wall street, the people making a lot of money. The first to get hurt, progressive economists say, the working people. While the stock market is soaring, the u. S. Government is moving one day closer to a shutdown. The president accusing republicans of engaging in an allout civil war, blasting Speaker John Boehner for buckling to conservatives by trying to defund the president S Health Care law as part of keeping the government funded. Jim acosta is live at the white house with much more on this. Jim, seems as senator john mccain told us last week, weve seen this movie before. Thats right, kate. President obama said he is taking a stand against what he called an apocalypse every three months. Check the battery on your washington crisis countdown clock because here they go again. Its 11 days to a possible Government Shutdown and this latest budget battle pitting republicans in congress against president obama is becoming the symptoming aturning sequel to the sequel. What i will not do is to create a habit, a pattern, whereby the full faith and credit of the United States ends up being a bargaining chip to set policy. Reporter this time, the threat is all too real. Not only does the government run out of money october 1st, the nation is set to hit a deet ceiling and go into fall midoctober, teague up a washington dysfunction double whammy, the likes of which american has never seen before. Are we looking at a gridlocked nato . If Congress Fails to act, yes, its possible. Im not sure about the nato part of it. Reporter for now, republicans in congress say they will only vote on a spending bill that defunds obama care. We are going to do everything we can to repeal the president s failed health care law. Reporter but thats not going to go anywhere, its likely. A Government Shutdown has loomed four times since 2011 but each time, a deal was struck to avert disaster. Some republicans say this is one rerun they dont want to watch. We cant let the government shut down. We can be kamikazes and general custer. Reporter and the white house may be watching some of this battle from the sidelines as republicans are going after each other, after texas senator ted cruz said that the senate may not have the votes to defund obama care. House republicans went ballistic. One house republican, shawn duffy from wisconsin accused crews of waving the white flag of surrender. So this is starting to get interesting as we head into the next 11 days before the government shuts down. Chris . Jim, thank you very much. Hopefully they come up with a better solution than punishing everybody else. We want to give you new details about the washington yard shooting.

The latest in the Washington Navy yard shooting. Were learning about significant damage to building 197 where the rampage took place and making matters worse, there are questions now surrounding the Police Response to the shooting. With the latest this morning, lets go to cnns pamela brown live in washington. Good morning, pamela. Reporter good morning to you, kate. Thats right. Theres new information suggesting the rampage could have been contained more quickly if an elite Tactical Team hadnt been turned away in the moments after that shooting. At this point, as this investigation continues, we still dont have Officials Say they still dont have a moti motive. Theres questions as to whether well have a clearcut answer as to what was going through aaron alexiss mind during that shooting. As investigators sift through the evidence in the navy yard killings, odd details are emerging. A federal Law Enforcement source tells cnn alexis made unexplained etchings into the shotgun he used in the attack. The etchings read, better off this way and my elf weapon. Investigators dont know what the sayings are supposed to mean. Questions remain about whether the rampage could have been prevented. Navy officials in rhode island never passed along Police Reports about alexis erratic behavior, claiming he was hearing voices. Where there are gaps, we will close them. Where there are inadequacies, we will address them. And where there are failures, we will correct them. We owe the victims, their families and all our people nothing less. Reporter new details have emerged suggesting authorities might have been able to contain the gunman more quickly. A Government Official tells cnn when the first radio call came in about a shooting at the navy yard, highly trained tactical capitol Police Officers attempting to help stop the rampage were told by a watch commander to stand down. The Capitol Police chief has ordered an independent review of their response and the critical first moments after the shooting was reported. Fbi. Reporter investigators still dont know why.

To the families of the victims, i am so, so very sorry that this has happened. My heart is broken. Reporter new details are emerging, painting a picture of the damage inside building 197. As sources told our Barbara Starr, blood everywhere, damage everywhere, damage so extensive the building may not be reopened for several weeks. Meantime, we are still waiting for autopsy results, toxicology results for aaron alexis, medical Examiners Office still hasnt released that information. This sunday, president obama is expected to attend a Memorial Service for the victims of mondays tragedy. Back to you. Pamela, thank you very much. The biggest questions go to whether or not this could have been prevented. Joining us now is rear admiral john kirby. Admiral kirby, thank you for joining us. Appreciate it this morning. Thanks for having me. Lets begin with the main proposition. Do you recognize that this man should not have had military clearance . Thats what were looking at right now, chris, to be honest with you. Secretary mavis ordered three rapid reviews last night. One of the three is to take a close look at the forensics of mr. Alexiss naval career to see if there were things we should have picked up on. It seems like an easy question to answer, though, doesnt it, admiral . You know the Rhode Island Police reached out recently in august, told the navy he said he was hearing voices pumped by men with microwaves. You know he was telling this to coworkers. Right. You know he went to the hospital about it. Isnt that enough to say he should have had his clearance pulled pending an investigation . Its certainly enough to get us to take a hard look at this. Thats what were going to do. We dont have indications that the reports from the Newport Police went any higher than the localbased Security Officers at newport. Were taking a hard look at that as well. And its just when you say taking a hard look, it suggests a process rather than conclusion. But wouldnt you agree, the information, if true, should have been enough to have the clearance pulled . I think its very easy to do this in hindsight, when you look back and the aggregate of this young mans naval career, trouble with the law, its easy to draw the conclusion, yes, probably something should have been done or said differently. When you look at it in time as it happened, none of these incidents on their own, individually would lead anybody to indicate that he was going to be a threat to himself or others. Well, the defense secretary, chuck hagel says something went wrong. There were red flags. Is he right . Absolutely hes right. Clearly something went wrong and there were red flags. Looking back on it, its easy to see that now. Its harder when youre in the moment, at the time. Well do a careful review. Nobody is more transparent or more accountable than the United States navy. We take great pride in that. To the degree we miss things, well take account for that. You know that suspicion goes oned this particular shooter. You have the audit that says whether it was cost cutting or whatever that people of suspicious backgrounds got access. Theres concern as to whether or not there could be more people like this shooter within the ranks of the navy or getting clearance to sensitive areas. How do you deal with that . Were looking at that dogig report right now. The system is studied is not the same system mr. Alexis was registered in. Sadly would not have prevented the tragedy on monday. Were grateful for the ig for taking a look at that. Well implement whatever recommendations we deem appropriate. Fair point. Do you know anything about this Tactical Team being pulled off the scene and why that would have happened . I dont, chris. Thats really a 4r5u6789 Law Enforcement issue. Its a terrible scene inside building 197. What are the plans of Going Forward . Is there an idea of preparing something for those who were hurt and lost their lives there . Theres a lot to your question. We have two Emergency Family Assistance Centers set up. One is at the navy yard, one is at joint base bowling across the anacostia river. There are Mental Health providers, chaplains, standing by. There are people being seen. The building is still a crime scene. The fbi still has perview over that building. The navy yard is beginning to open. I think youve covered that. 197 will stay closed for at least a few more days. Then it will probably be some time even after that before the building is really ready to get back into business. Nobodys going to be rushed back to work here. Well make sure that the people that work there certainly the people that witnessed this tragic attack get all the care and attention they need. If they need more time before they come back to work, well certainly give them that. On the primary objective, as you know, well stay on this. People need to have confidence that the people who get clearance for sensitive areas are stable, obviously. We look forward to checking in with you, admiral, on this. Happy to do that, chris. Thanks very much. Thank you for joining us, sir. Kate, over to you. If you have a 401 k , chances are its looking better this morning. Thank ben bernanke for that. The fed chairmans decision to keep pumping money into the economy triggered record closes for the dow and the s p 500. Christine romans is here to take a look at what this means, not only now but Going Forward. Its good news. But how long can it last . Its good news and it cant last forever. The big question is the fed has a lot of cash. It can keep pumping it in there. There may come a time when too much cash becomes a problem. That day hasnt come yet, at least not yesterday. Stocks surged to record highs wednesday, a sizzling rally set off by ben bernanke doing, well, nothing. Well, i dont recall stating that we would do any particular thing in this meeting. Reporter investors thought the Federal Reserve might pull back on the 85 billion a month in bond purchases it had been making since last september. But in a statement, the federal open Market Committee said it is waiting for evidence that, quote, progress will be sustained before adjusting the pace of its purchases. The stimulus has pumped cash into the mortgage and bond markets, keeping Mortgage Rates and borrowing costs low. Thats fueled the red hot Housing Market and spurred stocks to a 20 gain over the past year. Many investors expect stocks to go even higher this year. Great news for those with 401 k s but only half the country is invested in stocks. The feds bigger problem has been slow job growth. There are actually fewer people working but fewer people who are looking for work and so that meant that the Unemployment Rate came down but for the wrong reasons. Reporter companies are used to getting by with fewer workers since the recession. That and slow Economic Growth put ben bernanke and whoever succeeds him in a tough spot. Goldman sachs said this morning it expects the next window of opportunity for the fed to be the december meeting. The fed wants to see more data before it makes a decision to begin turning off that spigot of money. Its a spigot of money. Think of ben bernanke with a fire hose, spewing 85 billion a month into the economy. That continues full blast for now. Talk about unsustainable when you describe it that way. Mortgages are something that everyone can relate to, even if theyre not necessarily in the market, in wall street. What does this mean for Mortgage Rates . Yesterday i would have told you youll see Mortgage Rates at 5 , 6 next year because the feld will be pulling back. The fed is not pulling back yet. 4. 57 is the 30year fixed rate right now. A lot of people are saying its a new window of opportunity for home buyers and refinancers here. You might not see the spike up many people have thought. Good news for home owners. It really is. By way of segue we have the government on the one hand juicing the markets and putting as much money in as they can to keep things stable and on the other side, we have lawmakers thinking about shutting it all down. Thats right. Ben bernanke was slamming congress because of just that. Ben bernanke is the only one working in congress some would say in washington rather. Congress is not working, the fed is doing all the work. We have a solution. Were going to shut government down. Yes, lawmakers are considering doing it again. Why . Because they cant find a way to compromise. Whom did they decide to punish . You. Not even republicans can agree amongst themselves on what to do and why. The white house is accusing them of engaging in their own civil war. The question is will the white house have a bet every solution . Lets go live to Cnns Jim Acosta at the white house. What a mess and its barely started. Only in washington. Thats right, chris. President obama says he is taking a stand against what he calls an apocalypse every three months. So check the battery in your washington crisis countdown clock, because here they go again. Its 11 days to a possible Government Shutdown and this latest budget battle pitting republicans in congress against president obama is becoming the stomachturning sequel to the sequel. What i will not do is to create a habit, a pattern, whereby the full faith and credit of the United States ends up being a bargaining chip to set policy. Reporter this time, the threat is all too real. Not only does the government run out of money october 1st, the nation is set to hit the debt ceiling and go into default midoctober, teeing up a washington dysfunction double whammy, the likes of which american has never seen before. Are we looking at a gridlocked nato . If Congress Fails to act, yes, its possible. Im not sure about the nato part of it. Reporter for now, republicans in congress say they will only vote on a spending bill that defunds obama care. We are going to do everything we can to repeal the president s failed health care law. Reporter but thats not expected to go anywhere in the democratcontrolled senate, ramaling up the likelihood of a shutdown at the end of the month. Weve been here before. A Government Shutdown has loomed four times since 2011 but each time, a deal was struck to avert disaster. Some republicans say this is one rerun they dont want to watch. We cant let the government shut down. We cant be kamikazes and we cant be general custer. Reporter and the white house may be watching some of this battle from the sidelines as House Republicans are furious with senator ted cruz, who said the senate may not have the votes on the republican side to defund obama care. Shawn duffy accused cruz of waving the white flag of surrender. Republicans may be getting on the same page later today. Just this morning, house Speaker John Boehner released a new web video attacking the president for being willing to negotiate with Vladimir Putin but not with them. It is already getting nasty. Thats right. Thank you very much for the reporting. Appreciate it. Jims getting it right but nobody else is down there. Carnie said the nato part, i dont know about. Obviously a conference to sharknado. Whats sharknado . I think thats how i would describe the situation. John mccain did tell us hes seen the movie before. Maybe he was referencing sharknado. A lot of news developing at this hour. Good morning. A check on things happening in colorado. 200 people remain unaccounted for after last weeks historic flooding in colorado. Boulder, saw 9 inches of rain last thursday. Thats almost half its annual rainfall. Communities are now faced with the question of how to provide Emergency Services and repairs. The concern is now expanding to nebraska where runoff water is posing a threat of flooding into the weekend. Meanwhile, flash flooding being blamed for the death of a sewer worker in chicago. A Fire Department Spokesman Says contractors were doing maintenance when a surge of water swept one of the workers away. Helicopter and marine units, even robotic cameras were used in the effort to find the man. He just removed a harness to access a confined space. A blistering oped by republican senator john mccain accusing russian president Vladimir Putin of bigotry, selfserving rule and cozying up to tyrants like Syrias Bashar Al Assad. He goes on to say hes made her a friend to tyrants and enemy to the oppressed and untrusted by nations that seek to build a safer, more peaceful and prosperous world. Residents of a Washington Township in toledo, ohio say officer eric hart when too far when he pulled over cassandra meyers, wound up ordering her entire family, including her 14yearold son to lay on the ground at gunpoint. A neighbor videotaped part of the encounter. After it went viral. Officer hart was placed on paid administrative leave. The bbc reporting that former british Prime Minister tony blairs daughter was held at gunpoint, during an attempted robbery wednesday night in central london. 25yearold Katherine Blair was threatened by two suspects with a gun. Police say the firearm was seen but not used. Nobody was injured and nothing was stolen. So far, no arrests have been made in that case. A Tennessee Appeals Court ruling in favor of parents that wanted to name their baby messiah. She was told that was a title reserved for jesus christ and she was ordered to change her babys name to martin. A judge wednesday overturned that decision. Saying the lower court had acted unconstitutionally. Look at that little face. We agree on where we stand on that name fight. Cutest baby in the world. Remember i said i was completely distracted. So cute. He was gorgeous and very well behave had. He was. At least they can move forward. Lets get the forecast from indra. Good morning. Its a little bit misleading. It looks like its good. Were warming up, going towards the weekend. Were loving this and then you find out, wait, wait, there is rain coming our way. What is going on . Well, the teasers we saw in chicago, that warm front cruised through. Lets start with the warm front and the fact that temperatures will be warming up. Look at this. 10, 15 degrees above normal, st. Louis seeing 90s, kansas city, 90s and notice the cold front. We remember cold front brings cold air. Look at the difference as this slides through first, into the midwest overnight tonight. Well talk about temperatures dropping by tomorrow. First, we are looking for Severe Weather anywhere from wisconsin down through kansas. Even a tornado is possible. Thats what happens when you get warm air next to the cold air. Looking for that threat. Here we go again. Still the same cold front making its way towards the northeast for the weekend. We will be talking about the beautiful pressure we have disappearing and temperatures going back down. Why not throw in a little rain. A little onetwo punch. Were you watching the powerball action . Turns out we have a winner. Yes, one person will take home 400 million. No splits, no multiple winners, nothing to muck it up. One person. That single winning Powerball Lottery ticket was sold in lexington, South Carolina. The jackpot is the fifth largest lottery prize in u. S. History. The question is, when do we get to meet the winner . The answer maybe never. Cnns sara ganim is live in lexington, South Carolina. Thats true, right, sara . Yes, it is. Somebody walked into this Murphy Express yesterday afternoon and bought a winning powerball ticket. If you walk in there today, a clerk will ask you, did you buy a lotto ticket here . If you did, double check the numbers. It is a majorly big jackpot. 400 million and youre right, all to one single ticket. Heres the thing, though, one single ticket doesnt necessarily mean it was one person. Weve seen in the past where people pooled together, office pools, they buy a ticket and share that money. Lexington, South Carolina, we are about 100 yards from a highway that goes east and west across the entire United States. This gas station does get a lot of local customers but they also get a lot of people who are from out of town. The good news is the person who won have 180 days to come back here and claim their prize. But they have to come back to South Carolina to get it. Now, the catch, like you said, we may never know who this person is. South carolina law allows for them to remain anonymous. We may never know that winner. Chris . Its a good law. The mystery continues. Its a good law. Too many bad stories when people become public after these as weve all heard before. Sara ganim, thank you very much for the reporting. Appreciate it. Coming up next on new day, a 14yearold georgia girl finally back with her family after being abducted during a violent Home Invasion. The police are looking for more suspects in this case.

Tears of joy as a georgia teen abducted at gunpoint reunited with her family wednesday. The 14yearold was kidnapped from her own house during a violent Home Invasion. Now, two suspects are in custody. Police say more are on the run. Martin savage is at the cnn center with the latest. Good morning. Youre absolutely right. A happy ending like this is seldom. There are two suspects at least that are out there, theyre considered armed and dangerous. Were learning more about a potential motive and the news is troubling. There. Reporter two signs that ayvani perez was safely back where they belonged, the police cars guarding the street where they lives and big bunch of welcome home balloons. Neighbors caught a quick glimpse and heard from the young victim. She looked pretty good, didnt look scared or having gone through that ordeal, shaken. She came out and was very good, pleasant. Reporter Officials Say perez was found safe in a residence 25 miles from her home and that she had never left the Metro Atlanta area. She was kidnapped during a violent Home Invasion early tuesday and found 34 hours later after an intense Law Enforcement effort involving 150 local, state and federal officers. This is a good day. Reporter authorities had good news but few details about what led to the teens freedom. We currently have two suspects in custody. Were looking at some other suspects. Reporter among those still at large, the man thought to have carried out the brazen kidnapping. We believe those suspects are still at large. Reporter the men burst into the home, terrorizing the mother and two children, demanding money and jewelry. When they didnt get it, they stole something far more precious, 14yearold ayvani. At decisional suspects suggest more than a random breakin. There may be a link between the victims family and the suspects. The ordeal of a young girl may be over but the investigation into why she was taken seems far from it. There is new information thats coming to light. The mother of that 14yearold was arrested as part of a drug raid last year in georgia. Another person that was also arrested is one of those suspects. Now in custody in connection with her daughters kidnapping. There does appear to be a link here and that would mean this crime apparently was not so random. Chris and kate. So horrible no matter what that that young girl got caught up in the middle of all of this. Right. Martin, thank you so much. The head of starbucks, making headlines with his new stance on guns in his stores. Its getting, probably, not surprisingly, strong reaction from both sides of the gun debate.

Coming up in the show, it is not just about coffee and croissants anymore. Starbucks leaps into the nations red hot debate over gun control. The companys ceo says he is being forced to use Starbucks Stores as a soap box. We have the reaction this morning to his announcement. Plus, well call it the wheel of misfortune. Contestant Paul Atkinson is here, he got this close to snagging a 1 million prize. He put the emphasis on the wrong syllable and the judges say no way. Lets first get to michaela for the headlines this morning. I would not have on cue done the syllable. I have a lot of practice, getting things wrong. It will come in time. Youll see. The headlines at this hour, 33 minutes after the hour. A growing controversy in the aftermath of mondays deadly shooting rampage at the d. C. Navy yard, a Government Official telling cnn tactical officers with the u. S. Capitol police tried to stop the tragedy but were ordered by a watch commander to return to their positions at the capitol. All this when the officers were 30 seconds from the base. The feds decision not to dial back economic stimulus, giving investors reason to celebrate, the dow jones and the s p 500 hitting alltime highs. The nasdaq climbing to a 13year high. Many expected the announcement to cut back stimulus. Markets in asia and europe also climbed today. Ken norton has died, former boxing champion. He was the only heavyweight champion not aachieve his title in the ring. He won it on a technicality. Hes best known for three memorable fights with muhammad ali. He won the first, lost the other two. Ken norton was 70 years old. Infomercial king and convicted fraudster, kevin trudeau. His lawyer claims hes on the brink of bankruptcy but the u. S. Government says hes no popper, citing two recent 180 haircuts, a 900 cigar bill and 800 whole foods bill. This is something i wish i hadnt missed. Bryant park invaded by a flashmob. They gathered with cutlery, tables and chairs. Its been a regular event in paris since 1988. My whites were at the cleaners. Thats my excuse. I cant mobilize in 30 minutes. Your whites were at the cleaners. That would have been fun but i had such anxiety. Do you want to do it today, just you and me . If you plan it in advance it is not a flashmob. Youre not invited. All right. I dont want to be at your french party. Lets move now to the reaction over starbucks leap into the gun control debate. The companys ceo asked cuffs to leave their guns at home but stopped short of banning them. We first told you about this in a cnn exclusive interview yesterday. Howard schultz is reelaborating in an open letter in newspapers nationwide. Poppy harlow is here to talk about it. We knew there would be. It was an announcement that ignited debate the minute the news broke. One of the worlds biggest companies, one of the worlds most recognizable brand says they want your business but nothing to do with your guns. Starbucks this morning hearing views from all sides all across the country. I dont think they should allow people to come in with guns at all. I tend to respect their wishes. I wont be taking my business to starbucks. Reporter the coffee giant feeling the heat and garnering praise after making its mark in the gun debate. Starbucks is not a policymaker. And in fact were not pro or antigun. Reporter starbucks Ceo Howard Schultz penned this open letter in newspapers nationwide, requesting customers no longer bring guns into their stores. Weve seen advocates an both sides of this debate. To use starbucks as a staging ground for their own motivations. A number of episodes in which people have walked into our Stores Carrying a gun, customers have felt significantly uncomfortable, children have felt uncomfortable. Reporter just last month, a group of newtown residents sent schultz this letter, asking starbucks to ban guns. We would have preferred an outright ban. I think its a step in the right direction. It sent a clear message. Reporter its not a ban, which schultz could have done but guns no longer welcome still sparked debate on the street and online. I think its great. Im glad he did something. I hope people take it to heart. I dont think it oversteps bounds at all. Were a country that prides themselves for corporate independence. They can do what they want. Reporter ryan and bill carry their guns in public, generally concealed. In a free society like america where were supposed to honor equality, tolerance and each others rights here we have a company saying we dont want that right in our store. I think thats unfortunate. I dont own a gun. It wont affect me one way or the other. But i believe that someone feels like they have a need to carry a gun, i think they have every right. Reporter whether starbucks business takes a hit or feels the love is yet to be seen. I asked starbucks what they think so far in the last 24 hours about the reaction to this news since we told you about it yesterday morning. They said they recognize theres always deep passion on both sides but they said this in a statement, in making this respectful request we did not expect to satisfy everyone on both sides of this debate, however, we believe the majority of our customers agree this is a reasonable approach. I think the question is, do people abide by it or does this incite them to bring guns into starbucks. Will he have to go further with this . Hell have to respect the law. Its interesting. You have a right to bear arms. Not an unlimited right. Thats why we have the laws. I think he put himself in a box as i said yesterday. Companies can ban them. Disney theme parks, petes coffee, a m movie theaters. Gets a lot of attention. Yes. Coming up on new day, you know one of the inhouse battles where the food has gone bad and we rely on Expiration Dates.

The intelligently designed, responsibly built, completely restyled Subaru Forester. Love. Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. Welcome back to new day. So, the question of the day, are you wasting food every week because you think youre just being safe . A new study says yes, its about those labels on your food that says sell by or best by. We all live by it, i would argue. One poll shows 91 of consumers says they have thrown out food past its sell by date. They might not need to be doing that. Lets bring in the director of the harvard law schools food law and policy clinic and coarthur of a new study that brings this to light. Whats the big takeaway. The big takeaway from our study is these dates are not regulated and most people think they have meaning but in fact at the federal level the only food that has rules about date labels is infant formula. Everything else is made up by states and by companies. Theres completely no inconsistent and no Legal Definition around them. So the sell by the sell by, used by, best by date is fiction . Yes, for the most part. Manufacturers are doing an estimate of what they think the best quality will be but theyre trying to be protective of their brands. They were intended from the beginning to be about freshness. People forgot that and they think theyre about safety. Im all about trashing the Expiration Dates. They have to put some date with some rationale behind it. They should know their product. What is the line in terms of how much faith you put in the date . Well, i think really its up to consumers to, you know, look at the food and smell the milk. Common sense . Yes, common sense. Theres no Science Behind it that youre aware of just from observation . Yes. They mainly do tests with consumers and say when the most people still think it tastes very good, we are going to put the date then. People shouldnt eat something that tastes bad but you shouldnt throw it away, clear everything out on the fridge on the date that passes. Does there need to be oversight to rework how this labeling is even working . Maybe put an invisible, something thats not obvious to our the consumers eye . Is there a way to regulate it . Better . Yes. Thats what were trying to say in this report, is just that really two main things. First is that the dates should be coherent, reliable and consistent so that it has a meaning to consumers. We should be standardizing them and have one label that means quality. Everyone knows this means quality. For the handful of foods where there might be a safety issue, lets be clear. We dont need to hide the ball and put a million different labels on thing and sell by dates which are an indicator for stores, take them off the packages. Consumers dont need to have that information. Lets stick with the labels men the for consumers. How much food did you find is wasted by consumers throwing out food prematurely . We dont have great numbers in the u. S. About 40 of the food in the u. S. Goes uneaten. Thats a lot. Thats almost half of our food. Thats a horrible number. I know. In the United Kingdom they found that 20 of their waste was because of confusion over dates. I think its probably higher here. Wow. Something to think about. You know that brick of cheese you have in the fridge, give it a second look. Cut that green part off of it, put it back in the fridge. Thats old school. Thats what we used to do. You remember. Cut off the bad part. Cheese for everybody. It goes without saying, the study is endorsing the thought of, does this smell bad . You smell great. Thank you. Thank you. Youre still good. That date, ill erase it. Erase my sell by date. Thank you. Fascinating story. Cant wait to get home today to get to that fridge. Coming up on new day, france is banning child beauty pageants. Why .

Corner curio cabinet. Yeah, thats it. What . Thats not right. What . Poor guy. Will you show atkinson for a second. He was watching that. He couldnt even believe it. I watch it hundreds of times. You land on the elusive Million Dollar wedge. This is the dream. You nail the tough part of it. Youre ready to solve. Youve got the bow tie on and what did you say . I said corno curio cabinet. I thought you mispronounced curio. That was the issue is i had never seen that word before. Id never heard it, id never seen it written down so i was so stressed out about pronouncing curio, making sure you pronounce that right so i was staring at that word when i said corner and i cut the o at the end and it came out corno. Its not the world that solved the puzzle. I mispronounced the word that was spelled. Were you just livid . Only to myself. Honestly, no. The people that the wheel of fortune, they were so nice. Pat sajak came up to me at the commercial break and said dont worry, it happens hundreds of times and far worse than you have ever done. He actually said im going to go talk to the producers and see what we can do and he came back he came back with a case of spam. You didnt use the actual word, paul. Are you a firefighter . I am a firefighter. In oregon. Yeah. Hello, everyone. Im sure all of your guys and gals were watching. What did they say . Despite my best efforts to hide it, word got out and my phone, i put it on vibrate during my parents viewing party. It was just a constant, constant vibrate, like for 30 minutes straight. Everybody watches the wheel, baby. Oh, yeah. Im a wheel watcher. Are you watching the wheel anymore now after that . That was like the second time i watched it in like a month and a half when it was taped. Because whenever i would hear the music, i would just be sick to my stomach. Oh, it was terrible. So the guy that won, he kind of benefitted from your misstep. But you dont feel bad . No. The guy that won, lewis, i only knew the guy for eight hours. The nicest guy ive ever met in eight hours. Honestly, such a cool guy. Its not about lewis anyway. You are the nicest guy ever. I know you hit that bar hard, though, in vegas after this happened. You say you took it but you needed to go get a little quiet time for a while. My best friend in the world, alan perry, came with me. And i was so upset with myself that we took off from the venue and we got to the first bar and he said we need some tequila over here. But he helped me out, we got through it and some tequila and a 5 craps table in vegas helped out. And you won, right . I won like 2,000. A silver lining. But two things. First of all, the wheel of fortune does have a rule, you have to pronounce things. And it wasnt like if you got that right, you got the million. It just put you in the process to get the million. It would have been a five or sixstep process to get the Million Dollars. I messed up step two. So it would have had a lot of other things would have had to happen to win that Million Dollars. Do you find youre overpronouncing things now to be very, very clear . Listen to my words . No, no. Do you at least now know what a corner curio cabinet is . I received lots of picture messages of what a corner curio cabinet is. Lots of firefighters. Theres one in the mail for you right now. Im sure it is. You got to relive it all over again. Youre getting attention, though. Something good is going to come out of this for you. Your attitude. Look, hes a great guy. Hes a firefighter, hes trying to save lives. This didnt go your way. Although, ive got to tell you, you lost me when it was corner that you mispronounced and not curio. The word that was spelled out. It sounds like my name. Nobody gets my name right. I understand. But corner . You should make fun of us because youve probably been watching the show and see what we mispronounce. You guys are the pros. Thank you very much. Good luck Going Forward. Thanks, guys. Thanks for having me. Coming up next on new day, down in mexico, acapulco sounds very nice for a vacation but this is not the vacation folks had in mind. Thousands of tourists stranded with dozens of storms flooding the airport. Well show you how people are coping coming up. Well head back to washington. Some tough questions mounting about the navy yard shooting. Under the microscope, the response. Were tactical officers told to wait . If so, why . I dbefore i dosearch any projects on my home. I love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angies list for bringing us together. Find out why more than two million members count on angies list. Angies list reviews you can trust. Always go the extra mile. To treat my low testosterone, i did my research. My doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. Axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. Axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. Women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. Report these symptoms to your doctor. Tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. Serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer; worsening prostate symptoms; decreased sperm count; ankle, feet or body swelling; enlarged or painful breasts; problems breathing while sleeping; and blood clots in the legs. Common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa.

This as the secretary of the navy orders three separate reviews of the shooting. Lets bring in pamela brown, shes tracking the latest developments live from the navy yard. Good morning, pamela. Reporter good morning to you, chris. Thats right, there is new information suggesting the rampage could have been contained more quickly if an elite Tactical Team hadnt been told to stand down. As this investigation continues, still no word on a motive and officials are questioning whether well ever have a clearcut answer of why aaron alexis went on that deadly shooting rampage. As investigators sift through the evidence in the navy yard killings, odd details are emerging. A federal Law Enforcement source tells cnn alexis made unexplained etchings into the shotgun he used in the attack. The etchings read better off this way and my elf weapon. Investigators dont know what the sayings are supposed to mean, so questions remain about whether the rampage could have been prevented. Maybe officials in rhode island never passed on Police Reports about alexis erratic behavior, claiming he was hearing voices. Where there are gaps, we will close them. Where they are inadequacies, we will address them. And where there are failures, we will correct them. We owe the victims, their families and all our people nothing less. Reporter new details have emerged suggesting authorities might have been able to contain the gunman more quickly. A Government Official tells cnn when the first radio call came in about a shooting at the navy yard, highly trained tactical capitol Police Officers attempting to help stop the rampage were told by a watch commander to stand down. The Capitol Police chief has ordered an independent fact review of their response in the critical first moments after the shooting was reported. Investigators still dont know why. Law enforcement sources say nothing points to a specific motive for the rampage ooerchgs after the seizure of aaron alexis computer and other possessions and interviews with the social contacts for clues. The mother of the gunman apologizing wednesday to the families of the victims. I dont know why he did what he did and ill never be able to ask him why. Aaron is now in a place where he can no longer do harm to anyone, and for that i am glad. To the families of the victims, i am so, so very sorry that this has happened. My heart is broken. Reporter new details are emerging painting a picture of the extent of damage inside building 197. Sources tell our Barbara Starr theres blood everywhere, damage everywhere, it could take weeks before the building is repaired and opened. Meantime, were still waiting for autopsy results, toxicology results from the medical Examiners Office. Also, this sunday president obama will be attending a Memorial Service for the victims of mondays tragedy. Kate and chris. All right, pamela, thank you so much for that. Looking at stocks this morning, after record closing numbers wednesday on wall street, Global Markets are responding positively well to the news from fed chairman ben bernanke that stimulus will continue. Major european and asian stocks were up over 1 in morning trading, so what does this mean for you . For that we of course turn to christine romans. So what does it all mean . It means if stock futures of any indication this morning youll see another winning day on wall street. But you can never tell whether investors will wake up and decide they partied too hard yesterday and that was wow, that was some party. Stocks surged to record highs wednesday, a sizzling rally set off by fed chairman ben bernanke doing, well, nothing. Well, i dont recall stating that we would do any particular thing in this meeting. Investors thought the Federal Reserve might pull back on the 85 billion a month in bond purchases it had been making since last september. But in a statement the federal open Market Committee said it is waiting that progress will be sustained before adjusting the pace of its purchases. The stimulus has pumped cash into the mortgage and bond market keeping Mortgage Rates and borrowing costs low. Thats fueled the redhot Housing Market and spurred stocks to a 20 gain over the past year. Many investors expect stocks to go even higher this year. Great news for those with 401 k s, but only half the country is invested in stocks. The feds bigger problem has been slow job growth. There are fewer people working but even fewer people looking for work, so that meant that the Unemployment Rate came down, but for the wrong reasons. Reporter companies are used to getting by with fewer workers since the recession. That and slow Economic Growth put ben bernanke and whoever succeeds him in a tough spot. And so now the speculation rampant about when the fed will take the training wheels off the economy. Ubs says it thinks the fed will hold off on tapering until late january. By then economists thinks there will be enough data that prove that they can take these crutches away and the economy can stand on its own two feet. And is that why folks should be worried . Even though were talking about good news in the markets today. Yay, stocks are at record highs, Interest Rates are coming down and its good for your mortgage, but the reason is because the market, the economy, is underlying weakness is what ben bernanke is worried about. He smacked congress again yesterday. Hes worried about a Government Shutdown. Hes worried about drama, manufactured crises over the debt ceiling. The fed is worried about congress and whats happening in congress and worried that job creation is too weak to let it stand on its own. On the fact we cant plan more than four or six months ahead because thats the only Funding Congress puts together. In the meantime you can look at your 401 k today and say yes. Take the wins when you can get them. Thanks, christine. We are just 11 days away from a Government Shutdown, again. If this sounds familiar, its because it is. Lawmakers unable to compromise are holding your government, your services hostage. Whom does that hurt . Well, you. Cnns jim acosta is live at the white house. Good morning, jim. Reporter good morning, chris. President obama later this morning will be meeting with his export council to talk about the economy. Well see if he talks about this prospect of a Government Shutdown. But just down pennsylvania avenue you can hear the ticking of washingtons crisis countdown clock because, yes, here they go again. Its 11 days to a possible Government Shutdown, and this latest budget battle pitting republicans in congress against president obama is becoming the stomachturning sequel to the sequel. What i will not do is to create a habit, a pattern whereby the full faith and credit of the United States ends up being a bargaining chip to set policy. Reporter this time the threat is all too real. Not only does the government run out of money on october 1st, the nation is set to hit the debt ceiling and go into default starting in midoctober, teeing up a washington double dysfunction whammy the likes americans have never seen before. Are we looking at a gridlock nato. If Congress Fails to act, yes. Its possible. Im not sure about the nato part of it. Reporter for now, republicans in congress say they will only vote on a spending bill that defunds obama care. Were going to continue to do everything we can to repeal the president s failed health care law. Reporter but thats not expected to go anywhere in the democratic controlled senate, ramping up the likelihood of a shutdown at the end of the month. Weve been here before. A Government Shutdown has lomed at least four times since 2011, but each time a deal was struck to avert disaster. Some republicans say this is one rerun they dont want to watch. We cant let the government shut down. We cant be kamikazes and we cant be general custer. Reporter now, the white house is watching some of this battle from the sidelines. Thats because republicans are going after each other after texas senator ted cruz said that republicans in the senate might not have the votes to defund obama care. House republicans went ballistic. One accused cruz of waving the white flag of surrender but republicans may be getting back on the same page. John boehner put out a web video earlier this morning saying that president obama is willing to negotiate with Vladimir Putin but not with them. Chris and kate. Its getting nasty. All right, jim, thank you so much. We have new details on the kidnapping and dramatic rescue of that abducted georgia teenager. The 14yearold was found safe wednesday, thankfully, nearly 30 hours after being abducted at gunpoint from her home. Two men are now in custody. Police say there are other suspects still at large theyre looking for. Martin savidge is at the cnn center in atlanta with the very latest. Reporter good morning, kate. When this crime first happened, people were terrified because of the randomness of it, but now as the investigation moves forward, it appears it may not have been so random. But lets start with the good news. There were two signs that bonnie perez was safely back where she se longed. The police cars guarding the street where she lives and a big bunch of welcome home balloons. She looked pretty good to me. She didnt look scared or having gone through that ordeal, you know, shaken. She came out and was very good, very pleasant. Reporter Officials Say perez was found safe in a residence 25 miles from her home and she had never left the Metro Atlanta area. She was kidnapped during a violent Home Invasion early tuesday and found 34 hours later after an intense Law Enforcement effort involving 150 local, state and federal officers. This is a good day. Reporter authorities had good news, but few details about what led to the teens freedom. We currently have two suspects in custody. Were looking at some other suspects. Reporter among those still at large, the men thought to have carried out the brazen kidnapping. We believe those two suspects in the drawings are still at large. Reporter the men burst into the home terrorizing the mother and her two children. They demanded money and jewelry and when they didnt get it, they stole something far more precious, the 14yearold. But the additional suspects suggest something more than a random breakin. Is it possible that theres some link between the victims family and the suspects . We have not determined the relationship between those individuals at this particular point in time. Reporter the ordeal of a young girl may be over, but the investigation into why she was taken seems far from it. It turns out now that there is a connection between the mother of the 14yearold and one of those in custody for her daughters kidnapping. The way it goes is last year the mother was arrested during a drug raid. Charges against her were later dropped but another person who was picked up in that same raid, one of those in jail right now. Trying to figure all of this out is what authorities are doing today, chris. Wherever it leads, whatever was involved, at least the girl is home. Thanks for the reporting this morning. Appreciate it. Moving on to a different story now, dozens confirmed dead in mexico. Officials fear that number only going to rise. A pair of massive storms tore through the resort town of acapulco. Now a strengthening hurricane once again threatening the region. Shasta darlington is in acapulco with the very latest. Good morning, shasta. Reporter good morning. Theres just no end in sight. With the main highways still cut off, the airports flooded, so many people feel like theyre never going to get out of what should be paradise. Chaos in the beach resort of acapulco. Three days after manuel made landfall, the citys International Airport submerged in waistdeep floodwaters. Some 40,000 tourists struggling to get out after the worst storm damage to hit mexico in years. Here outside the air force base, there are hundreds and hundreds of people in line, really as far as you can see. Many of them have been waiting all day, and some even spent the night here. Most of the tourists are mexican, but we also find a medical student from los angeles. We tried to leave on monday and so we all got together in the car to go and the road was blocked. We didnt get further than a mile. Reporter she spent 12 hours in this line today, but seems to accept she may not get on a flight. You know, were a lot better off than a lot of people. Reporter more than 10,000 tourists have been airlifted out, many of them abandoning cars and belongings in their desperation to get home. The air force is also carrying supplies to towns and neighborhoods that have been completely cut off by washed out bridges and roads. Electricity and phone lines were down for two days and Running Water wont be restored to many homes for another 20 days. At least 80 people have been killed and a Million People affected across the country by the onslaught of three different tropical storms. As you can see right behind me, people are still lining up trying to get out of here. In fact commercial airlines have set up their checkin counters on the sidewalk at this convention center. Kate, chris. All right, shasta, thanks so much. Lets get a look at the forecast and whats happening at the moment. Whats so unique is they had two named storms in mexico within a 24hour period. That has not happened since the 50s. We had manuel, we had ingrid, they both went onshore and brought from 5 to 10 inches of rain but thats not where it stops. They have mountainous terrain so the heavy rain came down and created mud slides and all that flooding theyre currently dealing with. Unfortunately were still dealing with manuel. It has reformed. So another resort town fearing they could see heavy rain in the forecast, considering it is moving so slow. So with that even more rain expected in the region. 5 to 10 inches of rain still possible. Same thing with the mountainous terrain, we could see mud slides come down the hillsides in the region. Once again in the gulf, another storm system developing. A 70 chance this does develop into the next tropical system. Acapulco still dealing with everything going on, more rain in their forecast as well. All that moisture is just south of us so several inches of rain still possible in through texas. Its good, theres a drought there, they need the rain, but not so much so fast. 70 chance of another storm building up, not what they need. Theres a lot of other news so lets get right to michaela. Well checkup where indra left off with colorado. The Emergency Response to the flooding there now winding down with the focus shifting to longer term recovery and repairs. People are slowly being located after the massive flooding there in that state. About 100 have been found in the last 24 hours. 200 people, though, remain unaccounted for. Theres new concern in nebraska where runoff water is posing the threat of flooding into the weekend. A blistering oped by republican senator john mccain accusing russian president Vladimir Putin of bigotry, selfserving rule and cozying up to tyrants like Syrias Bashar Al Assad writing he is not enhancing russias global reputation, he is destroying it. He has made a friend to tyrants and an enemy to the owe pressed. The u. S. Military could be increasing its role in the syrian conflict. The pentagon has a proposal for forces to train and equip moderate rebels in the opposition to president bashar al assad. This training would take place in a country near syria. The idea has been under consideration since last months chemical weapons attack.

Now, its a single ticket, doesnt necessarily guarantee one person bought it but were less than 100 yards from a major highway that runs across the country. This is anybodys game. Theres a possibility someone from across the country could have bought this while passing through lexington, South Carolina. Now, they do have to come back to South Carolina to claim that prize.

From the brand doctors recommend most. Welcome back to new day everyone. One country is considering putting an end to child beauty pageants. Frances senate has voted to ban all for kids under 16. Many in the u. S. Are asking if this country should follow suit. Newly crowned miss america, nina davuluri, is here and will be talking about her big win but first lets talk to cnns Kelly Wallace to set the scene. Reporter this topic is certainly generating a sharp debate online. Critics argue these pageants exploit girls at the youngest ages and wish theyd go away while supporters say these contests lead to higher confidence and selfesteem, skills that will benefit girls for a lifetime. Little girls in makeup and heels going head to head in pageants. Its been reality tv ratings gold here in the u. S. But if lawmakers in france get their way, there will be no french honey boo boo. The countrys senate voted to ban pageants for kids under 16. The measure will now go to the lower house for a vote. The antichild pageant momentum in france was partly fueled by this Controversial Photo spread in french vogue. I then 10yearold model in heavy makeup and sexy clothing. Critics argue these competitions sexualize girls at too young an age. Youre basically telling a young girl that her visual, her physical self is far more important than her Emotional Intelligence or intellectual intelligence. Reporter but anna berry says her 13yearold daughter, ashley, overcame extreme shyness competing in pageants and now ashley gives speeches around the country talking about her experience with bullying. Berry tells cnn i know without a doubt that my 13yearold can outinterview anyone and speak more confidently than most adults. Some psychologists are concerned about normalizing behavior for young girls that would have once been considered extreme. Now it seems okay for a little girl, a 6yearold to be walking in thighhigh boots and short booty shorts and smacking her butt while shes dancing down a runway . Come on, thats what a stripper does. Reporter we asked people on facebook what they thought. While the majority of opinions was critical of pageants, there was also the sent meant who said she thinks outlawing pageants is a slippery slope where the government starts saying what parents can and cannot do for children. Some thinks dancing and Gymnastics Program sexualize young girls. It should come as no surprise that people are talking about it. Whenever pageants come up, people have strong opinions. Kelly, thank you so much. The perfect person to talk about all of this would be the new miss america, nina davuluri. Great to have you here. Thank you for having me. We want to talk about the moment when you won but i want to get your take on the proposed ban on pageants for young girls. What do you think of it . I started in the miss americas outstanding teen program. I started when i was 16. Through the program i gained 25,000 in scholarship money. With that and the help of my parents, i was able to graduate debtfree from the university of michigan. And right now im currently in the process of applying to medical school. And i just won 50,000 in scholarship money as miss america and then even as miss new york i won an additional 10,000. So i now have 60,000 in scholarship money to put towards my education. Thats what really sets apart the Miss America Organization from any other system because its so focused on scholarship and service. And you were the age of 16 when you started as well. Correct. You never did package ants when you were younger . I did not, yes. Do you feel strongly about that . They were little bitty children, like 3, 4, 5 and 6yearold girls. You say you started at 16 for a reason, right . I started at 16, yes. I definitely do think a maturity level has to be there before you can begin. I made the conscious decision on my own because i knew that i had to pay for some of my education and this was a great avenue. But yeah, there definitely does have to be a maturity level to be able to handle everything that comes with the pageant world. A lot of pressure, right . And you are a great example of all the good things that come from a pageant. Thank you. Your education, your scholarship and your poise is all in this amazing package. Take a look at that moment right there when you found out that you won. I mean that in and of itself is quite a moment but then theres also an additional significance being the first miss america of indian descent. Did you know when you were approaching the competition that you carried that mantle as well . Absolutely. Thats a large part of the reason why i wanted to be the first indian miss america. Ive been promoting my personal platform, celebrating diversity through cultural competency for three years now and its something ive been working very hard towards. So ive always viewed miss america as the girl next door. Thats the brand, thats the image. But the girl next door is evolving as the diversity in america evolves. Shes not going to be the same person ten years down the road. So to be that new symbol and hope for a younger demographic and let children know that you can be anything that you want to be, not only miss america, regardless of your race, your socioeconomic status, your religion, because thats what the American Dream is and thats what im living right now. Ive got to say from one brown girl to another, i applaud you and say hurray. You had a chance to meet with somebody else who was a first in her own right, vanessa williams. Was she able to share with you some tips on how to theres been a backlash from a small minority on the ugly place that can be twitter. Absolutely. Did she help you figure out how to navigate that . Its so uncanny that this happened because both vanessa and i were both miss syracuse, miss new york and miss america 30 years ago on the same date. Its almost not fair. New york is known for having the most beautiful people. Miss america doesnt disagree. Thats all im saying. She is the authority on it. Okay. But she had the same similar response initially. And she said, you know what, you can talk to my mother and have your parents call her and she just offered herself on a very personal level and we were able to connect. It was just such 18 credible opportunity. But its got to hurt a little. That has got to be hard when you hear some of those things people say. Oh, definitely. Its got to be enragening too. Is that even a word . I think i made that up. Definitely. That was something i experienced to an extent as miss new york. I knew that should i win miss america, it was going to be on a much larger scale. But for one negative tweet remark, comment, ive received dozens of positive support and encouragement. Thats a perspective not a lot of people have. It allows something haters dont anticipate because they dont think before they speak. You are going to have an opportunity by example to show the difference between them and you. What you want to celebrate and they want to denigrate. You say everything you need to say, it doesnt matter where the hate comes from. And youre from new york. And you are making headlines for all the right reasons. Thank you. Great to meet you. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Have a fun year. Its going to be a whirlwind. I was going to do the whole bert parks. Do it. You want it, you brought it up for a reason. Im not going to do it. Here she comes, miss america ive been singing that to my daughters for years. Perfect, perfect, perfect. Maybe my next gig, you never know. Hes leaving us already. What do you mean . What do you mean . It would be horrible to watch actually. Thank you, nina. We also want to make sure you know you can find out about the ban in france on cnn. Com.

Reporter investigators can peel apart the metal of these cars with their bare hands as they look for clues.

Reporter debbie was 13 years old when her grandpa porter vanished. He was here one day and the next day he was gone. I mean no trace. No clue at all. I mean his bank account was there, his house was locked up, utilities were on. You know, he just walked away. Reporter debbie said she used to bring her young kids out to this lake to play. They would stand right there on the waters edge and skip rocks, right over where the cars were found. She cant believe that this whole time her grandfathers body might have been just feet away. Alvie porter as he was called performed in wild, wild west shows riding bulls around oklahoma. After investigators stopped looking for porter, his oldest son acted as his own detective, for years hunting down every clue he could. Hes now 85. You spent a lot of time looking for him . You betcha. Still looking for him. But this is going to help me a whole lot. Reporter it could take days, maybe even years to identify all six bodies. Investigators havent ruled out foul play yet, but they suspect the cars accidentally rolled into the water and the people were trapped inside. Ed lavandera, cnn, foss lake, oklahoma. What a story. I know. You cant stop talking about it. Couldnt find the cars, the families had been there all the time. They dont know if it was an accident. What a story.

We talked a lot about the fascination not just with the royal family, but in particular Dutchess Catherine. So why did you want to write this book . I wanted to really get into the heart of kate. I wanted to just uncover a lot of things i thought were coincidences, unanswered questions. I felt there was so much more to discover about this woman and her past and it was really important to me to get into the background. You know, her school years, those early years in georgia and her time at school. Of course wed all read the rumors about bullying the i wanted to know how bad it was. I wanted to know how popular she was. I wanted to know who her first boyfriend was. I wanted to really uncover her past. Hopefully ive done that. People love talking about it and Love Learning all the Little Things about Dutchess Catherine because theres a lot about her past not many people knew b you uncovered quite a few things in here, including that everyone thought that kate and william met at university, and you say that they met a couple of times before then. Thats right. I went and interviewed quite a few of her friends and this was interesting because a lot of them didnt want to go on the record. They were happy to talk, but it was under anonymity because i think there was a wall of silence that was very hard to penetrate, but i did. I found out that one of the things was that she actually met william they had some mutual friends in common and through these mutual friends they got to meet once or twice, according to kate. And i thought that was fascinating because to me that shed a new light on the love story. Like you and everyone else i thought they met at st. Andrews and they didnt, it was before. Also fascinating was this period everyone deemed kind of the waity katie period. She was waiting to find out where were they going to go. They did break up and ended up getting back together. But everyone thought she was just waiting around. There was a lot of criticism about that. You found out that it was something very different. She was called waity katie is how the British Press to her. Waity because she was waiting for an engagement but she also didnt seem to be doing much. I discovered that she was. She was carrying out secret charity visits to a local hospice near her family home, visiting sick children, taking time with them, taking presents to them. It was absolutely imperative to her that no one ever found out. Why is that . Youd think that shes doing a very good thing. I think she wanted it under the radar. I dont think she wanted it to be public at that point because i think she wanted to just keep below the surface. She didnt want to draw attention to herself but she wanted to do some good work. And the queen had quietly suggested to william that maybe she get involved with a charity and kate took that advice on board. Then i had a really newfound respect for her. I thought thats amazing to be doing that. Very interesting. So of course the question is whats next . What do you think is next for the future queen and what that means also, whats next . Whats the next book . Well, the next book . I just got this one out. Who knows. Maybe prince harry. But in terms of the next chapter for william and kate, this is for me where it gets really interesting. Theyre about to move into kensington palace, Williams Former childhood home. Thats going to be a fascinating move. Theyre leaving where they lived the last three years and they have had a lot of protection, theyve not been exposed. But now central london, william has given up his career with the military. I think were going to see a lot more of this couple, so i think its a very exciting juncture. And i think kate is going to come into her own so im going to watch with key interest. We both will. The book is called kate and the author is Katie Nicholl. It is time for the good stuff and todays edition bullying and a brothers love. A mom asked her 8yearolds ryan and amber, to write their letters early to santa this year. What her son ryan asked for really shocked her. His letter starts out dear santa, i wanted a Remote Control helicopter but i dont want that anymore. Kids at school are still picking on amber and its not fair. He adds, i prayed that they will stop but god is busy and needs your help. Mom, karen, was heart broken by the letter, of course. She knew that amber might get teased a little bit but never knew the full extent of it until ryans letter. Karen shared the letter with friends for advice and one of them shared it with us. Ryan had just one more request of santa. He writes, can you ask bigtime rush to come to ambers Birthday Party . It will make her so happy. Bigtime rush is a boy band for kids made popular by the nickelodeon tv series. Were not santa but we got to one of the stars of the show and this is what they say.
