The u. S. More american aid workers being pulled out of western africa where officials call this a Public Health emergency. This morning dr. Nancy snyderman is answering your questions. Ending the itching, the app that promises to keep the mosquitos away. Well find out how well it really works today, thursday, july 31st, 2013. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning everyone. Nice to have you along on a thursday morning on today. We have another busy news day today. Thats right. The crisis in the middle east continues. There are new signs this will not be coming to an end any time soon. The Israeli Military is calling up another 16,000 reservists, that brings the total to about 86,000. The death toll in the threeweekold fighting is huge. More than 1,300 palestinians, 50 israelis, 50 soldiers. This morning, israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is vowing to destroy the tunnels with or without a ceasefire. Well talk to the israeli ambassador to the u. S. In a moment. Lets get right to nbcs chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel in gaza city. Good morning. Reporter good morning. That death toll you mentioned includes at least three Israeli Soldiers and five palestinians killed overnight. Prime minister netanyahu said there will be no ceasefire until hamas tunnels are, quote, neutralized. Israeli troops push deeper into gaza searching house to house, and now reinforce. S are coming. Israel called up an additional 16,000 reservists for the mission to disarm hamas and destroy its tunnels. Israel says it doesnt target civilians but in crowded penned in Gaza Civilians are being killed every day in strikes like this one. A cameraman was filming as ambulances rushed to a blast in gaza city when suddenly the camera for a pro hamas Media Company kept rolling as 11 rounds rained down. At least 16 were killed. And anger is growing after another 15 people were killed in at least a sixth un school being used as a shelter. Its spokesman unable to contain his emotions in a live interview. Most israelis still support the offensive. Many want it to go further to stop hamas attacks once and for all. Israels image abroad is being tarnished. And worse, in europe, especially france and germany, attacks on synagogues and jewishowned businesses are on the rise, reviving painful memories for jewish communities around the world. Prime minister netanyahu says the Israeli Offensive wont be over until the tunnels are destroyed. The language here, matt, is quite important because Israeli Military sources are telling us that the specific tunnel mission could be completed by Israeli Forces within the next four to five days. So there might be an end in sight. Richard engel on the story for us. Thank you very much. Lets turn to ron dermer, israels ambassador to the United States. Again and again they say they dont target civilians, they go above and beyond to minimize civilian casualties. Yet we continue to see civilians die. The death toll is up to a thousand. We saw the strike on the un school. How would you grade Israeli Forces in terms of its stated mission of minimizing civilian casualties. You have to put it in context. What do you think United States would do if you had 200 million americans in bombshell terse, 3,000 rockets fired at you by an terrorist organization committed to your production, using your own people as shields, using schools, using mosques, using tunnels into israel. Given all those facts israel has taken great care to avoid civilian casualties. Were fighting an enemy that hides behind their civilians. That is the problem. It is the problem. I guess that raises the question then why play into hamas hands. Israeli Officials Say this is a strategy by hamas, to rack up the civilian death toll and get the tim sympathy of the world. If that is working, why play into it . What would you have us do . Youre sitting in new york right now. Would you allow you, in this case f you were the citizen in the country, allow you to sit in a bomb shelter for three or four weeks, or would you want your government or military to defend you . They are firing 100 rockets at our citizens every day. No country should have to live that way. Weve seen some anti israeli protests around, some turning antisemitic in nature. How concerned are you about that . Do you ask yourselves, we may be winning militarily but are we losing the larger battle, the p battle, perhaps minting the next generation of terrorists. Antisemitism has been a problem for a few thousand years. There was a hope in the wake of the holocaust that it would end and the establishment of israel would bring it to an end. What happened is that the brief period after the holocaust made it politically incorrect to make it antisemitic. Now you have antisemitism coming to the surface again. Now its happening again. I think the world should be outraged by it, take the stand against it. The birth of the state of israel didnt end hatred to the you wish people, it gave jewish people the ability to defend itself. Israeli ambassador ron dermer, we appreciate your time, thank you. A tragic scene in san diego where a small plane crashed into a busy parking lot killing its lone passenger. Nbcs Hallie Jackson has the story. Good morning. Good morning. Officials say its miraculous more people werent killed when the plane crashed. The burned out wreckage of a small plane sits in a parking lot steps from two of the san diego areas busiest stores, cosco and target. The crash happened at the peak of rush hour wednesday evening. Frantic communication between the pilot and the control tower shortly before the crash. Oh my god, im not getting any altitude now. Full throttle. Im full throttle. Turn back to the field. Im going down the plane clipped the roof of the target store, taking out a nearby light pole before slamming down between the two stores and bursting into flames. While the 52yearold pilot survived, sadly, her only passenger was killed. Police say it was a miracle there were no other fatalities on the ground. We were very lucky it came down where it came down. Obviously it was low enough that at least one person survived the crash. Witnesses say problems with the fixed wing single engine plane began seconds after taking off. Chopper pilot vince carter was flying in the area and heard the distress call. She came up on her takeoff and lost power. Reporter people on the ground raced to the scene, some with fire extinguishers to help the victim. Several of the rescuers who pulled the people from the plane pulled received minor injuries and burns. Reporter the pilot is in a local hospital with severe injuries. At this point its not clear why the plane crashed. The ntsb is investigating. Typically, matt, the agencys preliminary report would come out within a week or two. It could take months for the final assessment. Hallie jackson, thank you very much. Meantime there are no concerns that the largest Ebola Outbreak in history is about to get worse. The medical charity, Doctors Without Borders calls this crisis unprecedented while the peace corps is removing its workers from the region. We have nbcs Stephanie Gosk in charlotte, north carolina. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. The cdc is asking u. S. Officials to be vigilant looking for signs of ebola. When a patient walked into this emergency room here at this hospital and triggered red flags including telling nurses he had recently traveled to africa, they isolated him and cordoned off a section of the er. For seven hours Charlotte Medical Center was concerned one of the patients had ebola. It turned out to be a false alarm. Dr. Katy pacioretty says the hospitals response was the right call. Its either back off and mez v put measures into place later down the road. Reporter balancing trying not to alarm the public is tricky. In sierra leone aid workers san jose they believe this is the tip of the outbreak iceberg. They are scared, if you look over and look at the patients and you know their chances are very small. Its horrible. Reporter the peace corps announced it is temporarily removing 340 volunteers from the region while american aid workers nancy writebol. They prayed for their recovery and spoke by phone with her husband who says his wifes condition is improving. She was sitting up and talking with us and shes able to move about, but she still has a long way to go. Shes still very ill. With cases mounting, containment gets harder and harder. The big concern is air travel. Direct flights out of the affected region reached 35 countries. But officials and medical experts in this country are asking americans to take a collective inhale and not panic. We havent had any cases in the United States today. And i think there are the infrastructure in place in hospitals to try to prevent any potential threat to patients or Health Care Workers. Reporter officials here at this hospital stress that the best way to narrow this gap between the publics perception of the threat and the actual threat is to educate. So much of this fear comes from a lack of information. Matt and savannah . Stephanie, thank you so much. It goes without saying this crisis has a lot of people talking. Dr. Nancy is in the orange room all morning long, shell answer the questions coming in. Well check with her later. First tamron is here fortunately, more on the Immigration Crisis this morning. Today the border crisis is getting a lot of attention on capitol hill, where the house plans to vote on a 659 million immigration bill, much smaller than the package president wants. It would send money to the border and help speed up the return of unaccompanied children from south america. House republicans are pressing ahead with a lawsuit against president obama. On wednesday lawmakers voted along party lines to move forward with a lawsuit accusing the president of exceeding his authority in implementing the health care law. The president calls it a stunt that will cost taxpayers. That massive Water Pipeline break at ucla finally stopped leaking during the night, but not before spewing more than 20 million gallons of water. Six facilities were damaged, almost 1,000 vehicles were trapped in garages, many below waters. Repairs could take days, even weeks. The legal team of Michael Skakel is following a victory wednesday. Last year a judge overturned sakals murder connection in the 1975 death of neighbor martha moxley. Now a battle over evidence, more from nbcs ron mott. Reporter Michael Skakel was the focus of cameras as he arrived at court. How are you . How are you. How are you enjoying your time out . I wouldnt say enjoying. Spending time with your family. As much as i can. Reporter inside the courtroom, arguments centered on evidence including two hairs from unknown individuals found near Martha Moxleys body the night she was murdered. The defense believes they could tie other people to the crime scene and want them saved for dna testing. We want to make sure the state preserves that type of evidence so in the future there would be testing that would be able to be present for. Reporter prosecutors are appealing the decision that granted skakel a new trial and argued it was too soon to argue about evidence while the appeal was pending. The judge ordered all evidence, including those hairs, be preserved. Im going to order the state to preserve all items of evidence. Reporter skakel left court saying he was happy. Very. First and foremost, we couldnt be happier about the way the proceedings went today. Reporter still unclear is whether the state will be able to use a key piece of evidence, an audio recording of skakel discussing the night of the murder. The defense agreed to put off the fight to keep them out of the retrial. Absolutely. That evidence was seized without a warrant, no doubt in my mind. Reporter for today, ron mott, stamford, connecticut. A girl in california was climbing in eaton canyon when she slid down the side of a cliff and was saved, thats the description, by a tree. The slide caught on someones cell phone. Rescuers were able to bring her down. That hirking trail is being closed tomorrow. A surprise president ial farewell for derek jeter as the yankee captain. Jeter played his final game in texas. Former president george w. Bush gave jeter a signed picture of the two of them taken soon after 9 11, the night after the former president threw out the first pitch in game three of the 2001 world series. Back then jeter told him not to bounce it or the crowd will boo. Jeter said not many people can say theyve had the president come out and honor them. Pretty cool there. 7 15. Jeter gave two pieces of advice in that game. Pitch it from the mound, otherwise theyll boo you and dont bounce it, or theyll boo you. And he threw a strike, the former president. Mr. Roker .

What sort of con stirn in general do people have . People want to know is it coming to United States, what are the symptoms, where did it come from and how do we keep ourselves safe. Christopher ask what are symptoms of ebola. The early symptoms are very vague, almost flulike, nausea, vomiting, headache, high fever i. Mean 104, 105. Its in the early stages when someone needs to get medical attention because you dont want the kidneys to shut down. People die because they start to hemorrhage. We know the two americans right now who are fighting for their lives got early aggressive treatment and thats probably why they are still alive. Is the virus airborne . It is not airborne. You get it through direct contact with an infected person, usually through vomit, saliva, feces. It really is when someone is actively transmitting the virus. Amanda asks why hasnt there been a virus created . There are vaccines in the pipeline. What always happens, these Ebola Outbreaks come, they burn out fast. The populations are small.

We have a rossen reports investigation on a Marketing Campaign sweeping college campuses. An Energy Drink Company targeting students with practices that are raising concerns. Today National Investigative correspondent jeff rossen and his team went under cover to check it out. Think back to being in college. Someone walks up to you and says, you can be a millionaire fast, drive fast cars, even fly in private jets. All you have to do is sell an energy drink and get your friends to sell it, too. You may have been excited. This morning some universities are issuing warnings telling students to be careful of a company doing just that, targeting naive college students. The recruitment videos are flashy. I would have never thought it was possible at 20 years old to be financially free. Reporter its the opportunity of a lifetime called vemma, a health and Wellness Company banking on young dreams, sell its energy drink verve and you can be a millionaire. Just ask the ceo. 5,000 a month, even 50,000 a month or more. Reporter the online videos feature heavy jets and fancy cars. College students are buying in and signing up. They promised you you could have a bmw or mercedes. They promised you the world and back. Reporter Payton Carlucci says after joining vemma he lost money and more. Did you get the private jet . I did not. Did you get the nice car . I did not. Did you get rich . No. I did the opposite, became broke. Reporter vemma operates around the world. In the United States the federal trade commission has already received 170 complaints against the company. There are classic signs that they could be a pyramid scheme, primarily their reliance on recruitment. Reporter to check out how they recruit, we went under cover, wearing hidden cameras, our young producer met with j. D. Park, a top salesman. What are the opportunities available for me . Reporter sounds incredible. Documents show less than 1 of vemma salespeople made that last year. Then he explains how aspects of the business work. You sign up three friends. You and i help them sign up their free three friends. They help those people sign up their friends. Everyone gets their money back. Reporter what about those bmws or mercedes in the videos . We want to give you a car pretty early. The cars come into play maybe six months in. Reporter jeff rossen from nbc news. I caught up with j. D. Outside about accusations that could be a pyramid scheme. The way you were describing it, you werent telling her to go sell a drink, you were telling her to sign up friends and make money and they make money by signing up friends. Its not an illegal pyramid scene. Is it shaped like a pyramid . Yes. Youre saying its not an illegal pyramid scheme . Reporter when we shared j. D. s sales pitch with vemma corporate, the company suspended him, telling nbc news his statements were inaccurate and not representative of the company. Vemma says it recently started to overhaul and improve its compliance program. Vemma calls itself an Affiliate Marketing Company that sells high quality products with a number of products that distinguish our model from that of a pyramid scheme. They say affiliates are not rewarded for recruitment and only for products sold, plus offer a 30day money back guarantee. As for payton, vemma says his accusations are not true, but are sorry to hear he wasnt successful. If the executives of that company are watching right now, and i assume they are, what is your message to them . Stop, stop enticing these college kids. The ftc wont say if theyre launching a formal investigation into vemma but told us theyre aware of the complaints. They continue to grow, a big company, making 221 million in revenue last year alone. Meanwhile, since these kids are in college, maybe also a good time to teach them a lesson, that if it sounds so good, maybe too good to be true. A good lesson.

And lemon. My phone has never smelled better. Lets start trending. I think this is a concept we would all be in support of at least initially, a threeday weekend. Championed by carlos slim of mexico. Research shows productivity tends to go down when working too many hours. Here is the catch of the threeday workweek. Work days would be 11 hours long. This also assumes that you will work until your mid 70s. There will also be fewer paid hours in a week. If youre relying on an income from a 40hour workweek, it could make life more difficult. That being said, would you go for it . A threeday workweek . I do think americans in general tend to not take enough time off. The minute you go to europe and you come back youre like, what are we doing over here . The numbers support that we dont. This would not apply to a school week. My kids arent off the hook on this, sflit. Why . Because you dont want to be at home. Completely unfair that you only get two days off and have to go to school five days. Do you stagger the three days or group it . Group it. Tuesday, wednesday, thursday. You have a weekday to take care of business, so tuesday, wednesday, thursday. Thats good. How about this .

Reporter south floridas everglades, home to billions of mosquitos. No matter where you live, just one can drive you crazy. But what if there were an app for that . I dont know. It sounds kind of far fetched. Reporter well, there is an app, the anti mosquito sonic repeller. Do you feel mosquitos, buddy . No. Maybe its working. Reporter Scientists Say theres a theory thats worked before, emitting a highend frequency that developers of the app say the mosquitoes find distasteful. Putting out a frequency thats supposed to imitate the male wing beat frequency and deter females because its the female that bites. Reporter we asked tyrone to download the app. He listened to the frequency and so do i. You cant hear it unless you put it up against youre. Reporter opinion among the swatting public is mixed. One says, impressed, after 20 minutes not one mosquito. Another found this app will have no effect whatsoever on any species of mosquito. The company that makes the app, pico brothers, says on its website, its not 100 cover, but it will ease the pain of mosquitos biting you. More skeptical. Can i tell you . A mosquito is right here. Its not working. Reporter ouch. This does hurt. Im going to activate the app oh reporter im waiting for this app to work and im waiting. You guys make me give blood on these stories literally.

That was an experiment that went wrong. We may have another sign in the offing, the latest internet craze, a Youtube Channel, well see if the toddlers buy it. Here is the story with nbcs kristen dahlgren. Reporter if you always thought the biggest youtube stars are celebrities or maybe that water skiing squirrel, meet disney collector b. R. She is absolutely enormous. Theres no way to overstate the size of her audience. A mystery womans voice and an anonymous pair of manicured hands showing off childrens toys. Thats it. Somehow causing a frenzy on social media. Toddlers, not known for long Attention Spans cant get enough. Disney collectors most Popular Video has over 91 million views. During the week of july 4th, disney collector was the most watched Youtube Channel in the country. Business insider ranked it the third most profitable, pulling in around 5 million a year. Some estimates put earnings at more than double that. Who is she . Outside of youtube, shes not talking. Some say her husband has a similar channel. Welcome to local action. God bless them. Theyre doing it anonymously, that kind of money stuffed under their mattress and nobody knows, thats fantastic. Reporter David Williams isnt just an industry expert. My kids got into it probably around 2 1 2 years old. Its absolutely mind blowing. Its kind of the magic of digital media. Reporter we put it to the test with a little focus group of our own. All three toddlers mesmerized. It was shocking to me. I was bored after about ten seconds and they sat there for however long the video is. Reporter perhaps its because every video is a little like christmas morning. Now lets see what we have in the box. Reporter maybe its the mystery of the woman behind the voice. Then again, maybe youre just wondering why didnt i think of that. For today, kristen dahlgren, nbc news, new york. By the way, we did manage to reach the woman behind disney collector, she declined our interview request and wants to remain anonymous. We have three toddlers here, stella, jeb and jayden. Do you see whats on tv . What is that . Good morning to you. Its 8 26. Im kris sanchez. The city of san jose is trying to do something about a burned out restaurant along a busy street. The city now considers this flames restaurant in hillsdale a blight, according to the mercury news. The charredout remains are behind a chained link fence, but some of its covered in graffiti and theres trash all around as well. The city is now telling the Property Owners to do something or face fines. Back in january, a kitchen fire caused more than 1 million in damage to that diner. And now lets take a look at your traffic situation. Hopefully its not a disaster. You know, not a disaster, but it was very, very slow, kris. You know, there was no damage reported by this, but glass reported all over lanes at 23rd, downtown oakland. Now, look at the volume of traffic here past the coliseum. Both sides are very filled with traffic now, much different than a half hour ago. Traffic recovering after they had finally cleared the glass debris. Southbound 880 jammed before you get to 7th. Also, southbound 980 or westbound coming off of 580. That is jammed as well. All lanes have cleared, northbound recovering faster than the southbound side. Now, slow across the dumbarton bridge, but the san mateo bridge is moving nicely and so is the northbound commute with the south bay. All right, thank you very much, mike.

Hope you have a great day. Got all our friends down here getting some love. Want to show them off a little bit. Now lets head back inside to savannah. All right, al. Thank you so much. Now to a story i am definitely interested in. What are babe reese doing and actually learning in those nine months before meeting mom and dad, when theyre in hotel uterus. More and more studies are giving us a peek at their secret lives. Even the tiniest babies know how to cry, sleep and they sure can eat. Have you ever wondered how they spend their time while hanging out in moms belly . I would sing to my daughter you are my sunshine is our song. Sometimes i read and ill put headphones on my tummy just to have him hear some music. I read books to them all the time. Every day theres more and more evidence that these moms are on to something. New results from a university of florida Study Suggests little ones might recognize Nursery Rhymes even before theyre born. I read the same nursery rhyme to her over and over. In utero the babys heart rate slowed when the rhyme was read by mom and continue to lower even when a different voice took over story time a few weeks later. I didnt think before a baby was even born, they could actually show signs of learning. Thats exactly what some researchers say is happening, and it might only be the tip of the iceberg. Everything that a newborn baby does, a fetus has pretty much done already. Dr. Bill pfeiffer, a leading expert has gathered some of the most Cutting Edge Research about life in the womb. Its much busier in there than you might expect. A babys first milestone, touching, maybe even sucking his or her own thumb around the fourmonth mark. Theyre exquisitely able to sense information overall parts of their body, although some are more sensitive than others, like around the mouth, around the feet, around the hands. Experts say movements like kicking can be a reaction to mom eating or changing positions or they might occur just because the baby feels like moving around a bit. Certain motions in the womb may also be a response to moms emotions. One recent study shows a baby is more likely to use his or her left hand to touch the face if mom is stressed. Ears are fully formed about halfway through pregnancy early enough that children may know moms voice by the time theyre born. Dr. Christine moon studies Voice Recognition by giving an hoursold newborn a pacifier to suck on. If the baby hears a recording of his mothers choice, he or she will suck faster. Pre natly its got this extra boost by the fact that its coming in through the whole body movement. Around the 20th week of pregnancy, sensory systems for taste and sound develop, allowing the baby to enjoy moms cravings and maybe leading to future favorite foods. For example, researchers found that mothers who consistently ate carrots during the end of pregnancy had babies who enjoyed the taste more than babies whose mothers hadnt shared the same diet. Next, a similar study about Green Vegetables like broccoli. The last sense to mature is sight. That mostly happens after birth. But some new evidence suggests babies are able to differentiate between light and dark in utero. Should eager parents provide bright lights or soothing sounds to encourage their future Baby Einstein . Dr. Pfeiffer says no. Nature provides pretty much all the source of stimulation that that baby is going to need. Stimulation that makes for a busy baby life even before you meet them. Ah little baby boy or bibby girl here probably has a real hankering for junk food and sweets based on your diet. Mine it would be like, at 20 weeks your baby likes indian food with beef jerky. A great baby that knows how to read a prompter. A little sugar addict. My husband, one of the first things he said to the baby was you will be an eagles fan. Good luck with that. Our fresh cook live chef shows us how to take seafood to a new level on the grill. The urban jungle comes to studio 1a. Well meet animals that could be sharing space in your neighborhood. First this is today on nbc. Whether you live in the big city or suburbtion, there are fascinating creatures all around. What you may not realize is there is a hidden world where animals have us figured out. Boone smith is the star of wild series. What you went to look at is interactions between animals and humans in urban, suburban and rural settings. The whole urban jungle concept with nat geo wild, where we interact. Thats what we found. This animals exist in amazing forms and fashions, sometimes right underneath our noses. For example, this burmese python. Tell me about this guy. These guys are incredible because they dont taunt us. Thats not what theyre about. In the cities and places we created all these different habitats for different animals, like rats. These guys end upcoming into the cities to hunt and then they end up in our houses, bathrooms, sinks and toilet. Theyre not there for us. Theyre there to hunt on an animal that weve created a perfect habitat for. If he decided to have some fun, youd be in trouble. Hes trying to find a spot to be. Shy of ten feet long. Hes a pretty big guy. He hasnt spotted this guy in the age here . No. Were keeping him pointed the other way. How much does he weigh . Surprisingly a lot. Well over 50 pounds. Weve got a rat in here. This is the kind of rat that a lot of people just cringe at seeing. Theyre in cities, suburban areas, rural areas. How have they adapted to humans . These guys are probably the most Invasive Species on the planet. Famous in new york in the sewers and things like that. Despite the fact that we often dont want them here, weve created the perfect environment for them in the sewers. We provide a regular daily food source of the garbage thats there. People estimate there might be as many as one rat per person in new york city. Eight or nine million rats. Exactly. They make up a huge pray base. Different than the ones you see on the streets. This is this is a friendly guy. They can get big and are prolific breeders. Obviously millions and millions. Weve got this next. The turkey vulture. Where would you find them . Typically we think of the guys in the western scene where theyre circling the desert, something thats dead out here. Theyre found all over the place. Theyre really, really common. Theyve evolved to live in a lot of different habitats. We create road systems. We want to go a to b. Thats what were all about. We create the highways and put them through wild places. We have road kill. All of a sudden we have a dinner table. These guys live off dead things. They have an incredible sense of smell. Along the roadways weve learned to figure out if they will stay along these places, dinner is always coming up. Lets end with this kangaroo. We think about them roaming the australian out back. More and more making their way into the suburbs and cities. These guys were unique. When we trapped them in urban jungle, we ended up on the golf courses. Here is a constant source of food, the green grass. Theres water hazards which we all play in. Everything they need is right there. These kangaroos have figured out through drought seasons and times like that, they come in, they basically take up residents on the golf courses and literally hundreds of them will live there on the golf courses. So weve created the perfect environment for kangaroos, not intentionally. But thats the result of it. So really its the adaptnt of the animals thats just incredible. Very, very interesting. Boone smith, thank you. You can catch the threehour premier of urban jungle sunday night on nat geo wild. Coming up, checking in with carson and todays fresh cooks live. First this is today on nbc. Dont forget fresh cooks Live Streaming right now on today. Com. Well check in with them in a moment. As we take you to the waters auft the coast of florida, a family of Treasure Hunters hit another jackpot, more gold. This time an unexpected piece of history. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez joined them on their hunt. Reporter as the sun rises off the florida coast, the schmitt family is on the move. This is their 17th year in the diving salvage business. Pretty unusual to be a modern day treasure hunter. Most people dont think thats exactly normal. It is. I guess some of us were born with a little pirate in our blood. Reporter last year one haul alone netted 64 feet of gold chains and several gold coins. The extremely rare discovery worth more than 300,000.

Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today, thursday morning, the last day of july, july 31st, 2014. Can you believe that . The last of july . Only 31 in july. We wanted 32. It goes so fast. Summer is almost over. I know. Thank you, kill joy. You have a month think about it. Youre going to be shopping for new school stuff for the kids theyre already out. The ads are already out now. For some kids, they start that last week of august. Thats right. Thanks, pal. Im thinking of groundhogs day. Im surprised youre here today. The calls you have been fielding from hollywood agents after your performance last night. Begging me to never, ever get on camera again. This is billed as a cameo by al roker. That was a starring role by al roker and matt lauer. Talking about sharknado 2, the second one. Al and matt stole the film. Thats what critics are saying this morning. Tia tweeted she wants every movie ever to cut to matt lauer and al roker every 20 minutes. Flawless. How about people magazine, if this movie has proven anything, its that al roker is a national treasure. I should be buried. Actors and actresses spend their whole careers hoping to be mentioned by people magazine. Did you see the movie . Dont downplay it. Its fun, firmly tongue in cheap. It is meant to be this cheesefest. You think you have to explain that . Kraft mac and cheese should have sponsored it. There were big actors in it. You stole it, you owned it. I had a good coach, mr. Lawyer. Right before we went on, whats our motivation here . Whats our motivation . To completely trash whatever credibility we might have. I think you were thinking denzel washington, the greats. Tamron, the only cameo i may have liked better was bismarck vinnie the pizza guy. How random. Robert hayes as the airplane pilot. Are you ready for 3 . Did they give you a followup role . Theyve already green lit the third. I dont know where its taking place. It doesnt matter where it takes place. You must be in it. You guys are stars. Whether new york, l. A. Or anywhere in between. You are everything. You are the movie. You are sharknado. You were awesome. Weve seen many great sitcoms and they get rid of the main character and the show goes caput. They must put you back in. The review from one lela roker was oh, come on. I was at home and i was fast forwarding. Shes like, dad, youre just watching your part. I said, yes, and . Thats the best part. We loved it. Nicely done. Cant wait to see the numbers, too. It felt like everybody was watching. Lets turn to real serious news around the world here. We start with the Ebola Outbreak, growing fear. This is spreading across west africa. American aid workers nancy wrightbol and dr. Kent bratly are in a life and death struggle in liberia. Peace corps removed volunteers from the region for fear of contamination. On the home front, cdc is telling Health Care Workers to be vigilant. Last night an ebola scare closed a charlotte, north carolina, emergency room for seven hours. A man told nurses he had recently traveled to africa. The staff removed him from other patients, cordoned him often in a section of the er. Thank god it turned out to be a false alarm. When you get that kind of alarm in the United States, big concern is air travel. Travellers arriving from africa are asked how they are feeling. Taking a closer look at them. What about flans to go to europe, they say london or paris, a lot of those are big transit points for people coming in from africa. I have to admit, i was one of those people in the beginning, i read the book hot zone, one of the most terrifying books i read. When this latest scare happened, i thought, really . Are we putting it in perspective, fear versus knowledge. Then you see the hospital on alert, aid workers told not to go into certain regions. I dont like using the word fear, but it certainly brings the awareness to reality considering how much we travel this time of the year. Im not saying run out and be terrified. But dr. Nancy snyderman and others are doing a great job in providing balanced information to i guess address our legitimate questions, if im saying that right. Whats going on here. How brave are these doctors to go in and treat the patients. Theres a huge risk of you catching it yourself. Incredible what theyre doing. Well keep a close eye on that one. Here is an interesting survey about people truthtelling. For example your truthiness. When you are in with your doctor, how truthful are you . I tell my doctor everything because i want to be cured if something is wrong. Im truthful that day. When they ask the past history, have you ever . What does that mean . Have you ever done this, have you ever done that . What are you not wanting to tell . Im not going to tell you. Ever had five drinks in a night . Yes, stuff like that, drinking. Now that willie has brought this up sorry. Lets refocus. 38 of us lie to our doctors. I dont understand that. Whats the point of that . Youre there to get better. If you dont tell your doctor whats going on. I guess you dont want to be judged. Youre there to be judged by definition. Youre giving blood. Theyll know everything. Moving off of doctors. Top two lies we tell, how much money we spend and sexual experiences. Why are you looking at me . You just started to laugh. Your doctor asks about that . No. No. Different question. If he does, you should alert authorities. You should call 911 on my doctor. So, tell me more results. Were most likely to lie to our parents, a spouse or significant other while we are least likely to lie to a sibling. Okay. Im sure sister or brother. Were in this together. Youre usually coconspirators. The top lies you tell your spouse, your eating habits, your physical health, alcohol use like theyre not going to know and exercise habits. Those are all things that a significant other or spouse would probably stay on you about. What did you eat for lunch . You really did have a big mac. No, i didnt. You lazy, fat, drunken slob. Top lies to siblings, you lie about income and salary. I dont think theyre lying to you probably dont want it to be their business. What sibling says, hey, man, how much money do you make . Does that happen . Not to me. They want a number . In case they need a loan. The top lies we tell to our best friends are sexual experiences, income, salary and political opinions. Thats what you lie to your best friend about . Thats your best friend thats just an associate. The doctor lies was exercise and health habits. That sounds about right. Your doctor says how often are you working out . Im eating nothing but salads. And the results come back and they say, no, youre not doing that and the blood doesnt lie. Did you see this picture, unimaginable situation, a couple on i95 in massachusetts. Look at that, in their windshield. Thats an ax. Crazy. There was a landscaping truck in front of them. Look how close that is to her. The landscaping truck in front of them, this ax obviously flies into their windshield. The driver of the other truck was cited failure to secure cargo. I think it should be something other than that, fined 200. There you are driveing, lying about how much you exercise to your spouse. What is that . This is christina, her greatest fear. She was driving ten years ago. Ladder flies out of the truck. She got out of the way. Now if were behind any vehicle with something on the roof, she makes me get in the other lane. I get that. Understand it. Those poles and you think, if this just comes out a splitting headache. Boom. This is amazing. Some people are calling it a catch. I dont think so. This is yesterdays piratesgiants game. A woman sitting in the bleachers. Thats not a catch. Thats not a catch. Right through the cup. She sees it coming. I think she lost it in the sun. Its a home run ball. Maybe she thinks the kid is ing to catch it. How about a little effort, kid. Stick the glove out. She loses her 8. 00 beer. I didnt know beer was 8. 00 at the game. Oh, my god. So you got a very strange promotional gift promoting depends undergarments. You know how we get these things in the mail. We didnt get anything like this. What are you pulling from behind your depends. Imagine my surprise, no previous relationship with depend undergarments other than theyre a fine company. This shows up on my desk. Who is that . Thats a bobblehead of me, if you can widen a little bit, wearing the depend undergarment. What does it say on the front . It says drop your wants for underwearness. People think of depend and think of grandma and grandpa. They want you to know theres 60 Million People that suffer from it. Look how tight the glutes are. Is that a real mockup, did you send a sketch of yourself. Let me just say they were very generous to me. This reminds me of, the potato goes in front. I love those. Theyve got you in your little white sneakers and gray socks. Thats how i parade around the house. Can you strike the pose . Im going to leave my pants on. No, dont do that. But first this. I cant wait. Announcer todays weather is brought to you by yoplait greek 1006789 america has volted and four out of five people prefer the taste of yoplait 100 strawberry over chobani 100 strawberry.

Trying to understand whether it increases mood, improves mood, libido, muscle mass. This is the drive that people have. Unfortunately a lot of these people have other issues as well like obesity, not exercising. How do you balance all those things . Thats the challenge. Thats the question. How do i know its right for me. We know testosterone decreases 1 every year after the age of 30. How do you know if youre a candidate . The symptoms we talked about. Then you have to take a blood test. Part of the problem is a lot of different types of blood tests, so we dont know what the best blood test is. The second problem is unlike thyroid, another commonly used hormone. We know its whats too low, we know whats too high and we know whats right. With testosterone we kind of know whats low, but we dont know what too high is and we dont know the sweet spot. Siobhan, whats driving this .

The libido will improve, if they exercise. Thats so important. This works better when they exercise, theyll get more muscle mass and also dietary things will change, their mood will change. Its the combination of that overall, i do feel somewhat better if its in the right person. Are there downsides to this . Thats part of the problem. Talk of cardiovascular risk, good data, bat dated that. The consent is we dont know. Thats the issue we need to convey to our patients. Siobhan, where is the fda on this .

A terminal at the International Airport offering exercise equipment for passengers who want a little light workout. In late june the airport became the first in the u. S. To provide the service free of charge, 30 exercise bikes youll find there. Also four ellipticals and a popup gym that moves between the airport terminals. After the summer theyll decide whether to make it permanent. Tamron hall, your thoughts . Where do i start . Where is the shower . Okay. Im sitting there in the middle seat, what did you do while we were delayed . I hit the gym. Oh, i know. And you were at cinnabon. A little crumbs on my face. You come over smelling like the gym. But perhaps you dont have to do a full allout workout. Lets do nothing. You do a little light pedalling so youre moving. Walk. You can get funky walking, too. I then went to the conversation of not judging, so dont tweet me, because i will delete it. Too late. I will delete it and block you.

No. I feel bad theyre missing out. Come on out and play. Theyre going to go out and play. Here is my theory. I like to work out while im on vacation so it allows me to indulge a little bit. But you worked out for the vacation. Those five days wont set you back. Oh, yeah . Youre looking at a brother that can put ten pounds on in five days if he works at it. I bow down.

Well, if you arere getting ready to pack up your kids for college, you pay be thinking, hmm, what are we going to do with that empty room . What will we turn it into . Kind of like the family in the ikia commercial. Wow, this kitchen is beautiful. Its great. Let me show you, forced countertop itself, sink, under cabinet lighting. Look at the spice rack. Wheres my room . Right there where its always been. We had to take just a little bit for the kitchen. Just slide right in. Well, chip and joanne fa gains are parents of four and have a fixer upper where they transform an old property into a deem house. Its great to see you. Welcome. Lets start, tamron and i were talking, you go away to college, you come home, its gone. Is it an idea to pack everything up, make decisions before your son or daughter leaves . I think one of the things is getting behind the seasons our clients are in. The first thing is storage. Decluttering the rooms the best thing to do is sit with your children and sort through the stuff, organize it well, using great storage, open containers so you can see in them. Label them well. If you want to preserve and protect some things, clear containers, label. Thats work, too, when you put it in storage, you dont know. Whats in there, mom . One thing weve noticed is really incorporate the kids in the process. This is an emotional time for everybody, kids going on to school, parents empty nesters. Incorporate them so they can be a part of the decision. We will go to the big screen, look at the transformations you have done. You have the bug. It hopes to turn it into a master suite. You have already got this space in the house. So why not use this space in a new, functional way for your family . Obviously the kids arent making it into a him radioing peak eight guestbed bedroom, other options like expanding the master suite. Thats a huge expansion to the property. This is the bedroom. Its expanded basically, you know, it was a smaller master suite. They wanted to make it a bicker master suite. People finish out the attic spaces. They spent money all these years on their children and will create attic spaces. I hope you talked about old kid rooms into a work space, what about a hobby . One of the things, families take an entire bedroom, add into that master bathroom suite, the other half an office in the house. Its a nobrainer, whats funny, my folks. I felt like that kid on the i kea commercial, as soon as i got out, they were moving into a different direction. We have some Creative Ideas as well moving down on the wall here. What do you got . A lot of pictures, which you end up having a ton of. Condense them, new purpose, new season if life, max miedzing the space, letting kids know, this is home, its still reflective with you. Fresh up the paint. Few dont want to blow out the walls, a new duvet, few curtains, Something Like this, ten or 15 other favorite things, you can put it on the wall. Its not like you vanished. You still are there. These are great. If you want to do a memory wall. You have more space, change up the space, again, its a new season, make it work for what you got. These shelves come at any Home Improvement store, you tack them up on the wall. Theyre precut. All you need to have is a drill. Put some memorabilia. At least the space isnt completely a reminder of the kid is in the house. Very cool. Thanks so much. Can you catch fixer upper thursdays on hdtv. We are back in a moment. In is today on well, good morning, everyone. 9 56. Im scott mcgrew. Suspended state senator leland ye is back in court this morning. Last week, prosecutors filed new charges against ye in a farreaching corruption scandal. In addition to the original bribery, money laundering, and gunrunning charges, ye is also charged with racketeering. Ye and this man, chinatown gangster, Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow are central figures in the case. And a shocking trade for the as. Outfielder is headed to the red sox.

Lets check your weather with christina. Hey, thank you. 72 degrees in San Francisco for today. That fog will be burning off. As we head throughout the second half of the day, it is going to be hot. Major microclimate separation, though, out in the trivalley. 99 degrees for sunol, and of course, thats because were not getting any low clouds out there. 85 degrees for the peninsula. 90 on the north bay today. 72 degrees, San Francisco, and yeah, hitting the low 90s here in the south bay for one more day. Tomorrow, well boost your numbers up just a touch, and then well take them right back down for the weekend. Sunday in the south bay, 88 degrees. Heres mike and your drive. All right, christina. Were looking at fremont, 880 southbound through this area past the truck scales, were starting to see traffic move a little bit better. This is one of your last spots where traffic compresses coming from the south bay don the east pay. Looking at the map and we see that slower drive as youre getting in towards the area, this is not the right section of map. Ill tell you whats going on as we look at the south bay, the speed censors are turned off, i apologize, but the traffic flow is moving nicely past the san jose airport. A little slowing down through oakland, 880 southbound, as we recovered after an earlier big jamup with some glass debris. We finally see a better flow of traffic. And better news for the b. A. R. T. System as well, as we come back to the fremont area. The b. A. R. T. System has recovered through fremont into hayward, those trains are still going a little slow, though.

Everybody knows that we have just welcomed you since the day you walked through these doors and you have become youre family to us. We want to come down and be family to you. When are we going to the ranch . What . Family is a twoway thing. You married henry. You sometimes go and visit henrys family. You did invite me to your beautiful home. You came. You invited me to your beautiful home. You have yet to invite me to your huge, beautiful, childhood home. Well, do you do crawford, texas, well . I would probably for a night. I was going to say i cant really imagine with the tumbleweed and cacti. You have no idea what i have done with a cacti or two. Thats why im scared to invite you to the ranch. It makes me happy to know that your mom and dad are happy to see you on nbc where we you can about sharknado instead of iraq. Did you see it . I watched 30 seconds of it. Why . How much did you watch . None. People were talking about it on tweeter. I was watching the yankees rangers game. I got to watch the baseball americas pastime. Are rangers having great year . Not great but they beat the yankees. That doesnt make you popular in new york. It doesnt. Derek jeter was there and whatever. He makes you popular in new york. I watched a couple minutes. It is crazy. Its crazy because its so ridiculous. Movie was packed with over 20 cameos including remember robert hayes, the pilot on the airplane movies. Billy ray cyrus and our own matt and al were in it. Hilarious. Here they are. Weve seen it about a thousand times. We thank you for watching the today show. We now resume our regularly scheduled program. The thing thats so ridiculous as they were as good of actors as anyone in the film. Thats saying nothing. How he kept his tongue firmly implanted in that cheek of his, i dont know. It will be interesting to see how it did in the ratings. I bet it did great. Were going to be snarknado here. My daughter is turning 21 this saturday. Your daughter is what 15 months. It goes like this. I was out to dinner with my daughter and her best friend since they were in kindergarten and her mom. Mother daughter dinner we thought would be there for an hour and a half. It was four hours. When people say just wait the best is always yet to come with your kids. Every day i hear something a 3yearold thinks and i cant wait until shes 3 but im trying to live in the moment. At 15 months shes a total nut. You were a twin and you were telling us stories you remind me of hoda. When im around you, the spirit of hoda is here because you leave everything everywhere. Your purse is a disaster. I appreciate that. Thank you. You forget things. Youre just like hoda which we love. You say youre the polar opposite of barbara, your twin. Not your grandmother. Im more like her. I have that wild mouth that you have. Thank you. So any way, my sister is different than i am. Were best friends. Is she patty perfect . Shes patty perfect but doesnt think that about herself. One thing you said was okay to share about the one thing your parents once said to you. I said thank goodness my parents didnt compare us because had they . I would have come out on the bottom. Lets just be honest. My sister is a genius. Never said anything. Never said anything. Jenna is funny. Jenny is very funny. Jenna is weird. She can ride her bike. Whatever talents i could possibly do, which i appreciate it. While shes shoving te i solvin problems. When they thought i was old enough to take it, we were applying to college, stanford has a twin policy. In one applies the other one automatically gets in. I didnt know that. They did back 15 years ago when they apply to college. They both get in or they both dont. She deserved to get in . Shes brilliant. Not that i didnt deserve. I said, yes, a twin policy. Im going to stanford. Im going to ride on barbaras coattails all the way to palo alto. My parents looked at me and said, no, do not ruin barbaras chances. Mom, do you remember that, lady . Because i do. Theres some issues in the bush family. There are no issues. There are issues still at the bachelorette. Weve been following it. Most everybody but me. So tell us what the latest is. I watched this because ill admit it. My husband was out of town. I had three remote controls all to myself. Thats a little bit of heaven. Heaven. The baby was asleep. I did miss henry but i could watch whatever i wanted without him making fun of me. I didnt mind nick. Im the only person in america. He came out and said something that was very below the belt. He revealed that they had slept together. That was bad form. You never kiss and tell. And you never boink and tell. He sat down with access hollywood and made a comment. To the other bush guy. If you werent in love with me, im not sure why you made love with me. Any regrets saying that . I was as surprised as anyone that it came out of my mouth i suppose. If i had anticipated it, maybe i could have been more delicate or wish i was. That was something that was weighing on my mind. A lot of people think that maybe what you said on the live show there kind of broke the code. It was something that meant a lot to me. Unfortunately it was my only opportunity to express that to her. I wish i would have had an opportunity in private. We were in an extraordinary situation. There is no privacy on the bachelorette what do you mean i wish i could have taken you aside after 20,000 hours of being in front of the cameras. He did try to meet her in mexico or Something Like that. Would you have any faith in a guy who would go on and show all his stuff on that type of show . I would not be the bachelorette type. I just like to meet people the Old Fashioned way in bars, you know what im saying . Or i did when i met my husband. I just met him in a bar. Was it the kind that had the bull . The bull bar . Why are you stereotyping me because im from texas . Again, no ranch for you, lady. Right after that. When hoda and i went down to san antonio, we rode the bulls, the mechanical ones. We did. Do you know theres a new beauty trend youre going to want to jump on. Most baby mothers want to do this. Does your butt need a facial . Its called a bacial. I just closed my eyes when you said that. Only joanne knows about things like that. Have you had butne before . Is that like acne . I dont think so. According to amanda and joanne who know all things in that world out there, celebrities are taking selfportraits of their butts. Which is disgusting. Theyre the ones that introduce this. They showed us. And so women are going in and spending tons and tons of money on butt facials and butt massages and they started laughing at us. Tammy did, our executive producer. Who would ever do that. Who gets bottom massages . Excuse me. Have you had syatica . I gave jenna a little that looks like a mom jump that youre massaging. I need to get to the gym asap. Look at your face. I ham it up a little bit. You hit that spot. When we get if we get a massage, we dont mind a butt massage. Not by a man. Have you had a man massage you . Yes. I like deep massage. You dont mind . No. Strip down and i dont mind a massage from a man. Im mature enough to know it doesnt mean anything to get these muscles to work. How do you know what it means to him . Believe me, when i just looked at my mom butt, im sure hes not that into it. If you ever had a butt massage whatever. Any of those treatments. Its gross. Can we talk about something more pleasant. Were on sirius radio. Some of you driving to work having danish listening to us talk about butt facials. I wish it was something deeper. They wont allow it around here. Guess who is here with me tomorrow . Regis philbin is coming back to cohost with me tomorrow. Hoda is taking a couple days off which she never does. I sat down in the wrong seat because weve never done this before. You were at my house for a podcast and we had a ball.

It was supposed took regis singing pennies from heaven. He loves that song. Hoda wouldnt approve. Lets put it that way. Is it okay to show skin at the airport. Probably hoda did on her way down. Heres what we had to say about it. I think theres a time and a place for everything and i just dont think airports are sexy. Heres my answer. No, its not okay.
