The big reveal. We will show you what it took to put together. Now hoda is shining a light on remarkable kids today, thursday, september 25th, 2014. From nbc news, this is today with matt lauer, and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Welcome to today on a thursday morning. Im matt lauer with with hoda kotb. Natalie morales and al roker here as well. People have heard little portions of the song that youre putting together and have put together on the network overnight. Its been sneak iing on ther. Its all for pediatric cancer. What warmed my heart, i looked outside my heart today, its ra raining, icky outside. The plaza is packed with supporters supporting pediatric cancer, so thank you to everybody that came out to support it. Terrific. Maybe we can get it on itunes. That would be great. We will have the premiere of that video in a little while. Lets get to our top story, a busy morning for you, al, widespread flooding in the south and soaking rains in the east. Thats for sure. We will start in texas, where yesterday they had their sixth heaviest day of rain ever. Upwards of seven to eight inches of rain, swamping roads, causing high water rescues as people were rescued from their cars. The good news is the rain is letting up there. They will have more showers, boy, nothing like they had yesterday. As we look here in the northeast, we are watching rain watching rain up from the south making its way up from the south from cape may, new jersey on up into times square, heavy rain making its way. It will continue. This is a weak noreaster. If this was late november, wed be talking snowstorms instead of rain. We have low flood flashes making its way into parts of new england. The heaviest will be in parts of new jersey, parts of long island, on into parts of new england, coastal gales. I think the good news is they will get the yankee game in. Could be some delays. Yankee fans love you. It will be good. All right, al, thanks, so much. Now to the fight to bring down isis, new airstrikes were launched in syria by the u. S. And its arab allies. This just hours of problem addressed the u. N. And call again what he called the network of death. Nbc correspondent Richard Engel has the latest. Reporter the u. S. Is expanding its military campaign against isis, in syria and iraq. The president said this is just the beginning. These terrorists believe our countries will be unable stop them. The safety of our citizens demand that we do. Reporter but isis now has capecots. In algeria, a militant said it beheaded a french hostage as a threat from isis. The threats arent slowing down the u. S. Led air war against isis and Al Qaedalinked groups, including a little known cell u. S. Intelligence call the Khorasan Group that was allegedly planning attacks on u. S. Airliners. U. S. Officials say they are increasingly convinced the groups leader, a 23yearold kuwaiti, an aid to Osama Bin Laden was killed in a raid monday night. But there are many more fighters in syria, controlling dozens of towns and cities. The biggest one is ra ka, the isis capital in syria. French Television Broadcast a woman with a hidden camera, risking her life to take these images. It shows armed men on checkpoints, armed women, too. All the women fully veiled. Suddenly the women filming is spotted by Morality Police and questioned about her veil. They tell her to cover up even more, they can see her face, they say. She apologizes as they move on. But a city run according to isis moral code. Like with all of these internet videos, we cant independently verify. Matt. We are now right on the border in southeast turkey with syria. There is. All of these young men behind me are syria refugees who have been living in turkey, and the reason they are here is they want to cross this border. They want to go inside syria and fight isis. Now that the u. S. Is launching air strike, these men decided it has time to go into syria and fight isis on the ground. Richard in turkey this morning, thank you very much. Samantha powers, u. S. Ambassador to the united nations, joining us exclusively, thank you for being here. Great to be here. During his presidency, the president said the tide of war is receding. He said we are shifting away from a war footing, but yesterday, he talk about the fight against isis and said the only language understood by killers like isis is the language of force. Are we headed back to a perpetual footing of war . No. But what we are doing is engaged in a campaign to degrade and ultimately destroy this monstrous group. To the extent weve been at war with al qaeda over the many years, thats the effort well see. Are we at war with isis . At war with a group of isil, yeah. One thing was missing from the speech yesterday, he did not directly criticize bashar a aal a, al assad as he has in the past. Hes remained silent. Is that an acknowledgement on both sides that our actions in syria are helping . President obama made clear in every speech given on the effort against isil that syria is not a reliable partner on this. They let isil establish safe havens, most strikes against civilian neighborhoods and moderate opposition groups. They have not been serious in the effort which is why in the defense of iraq, there was no way to defend the country of iraq, the people of iraq are interest in the region, going into syria. When you warn the atracks are about to happen, does he express approval or outrage . They came out, we want to coordinate, this is what we said all long, but they commit terror against your people using chemical weapons, barrel bombs, et cetera. We didnt offer a notification, just did it. We have the offshoot of al qaeda and assad forces. The expression of the enemy of my enemy is my friend does not seem to fit the bill here anymore. Have we got ourselves in a situationism possible to untangle. It is complicated. People have a hard time tracking who is what, but we know the vast majority of syria wants the war to end for a very long time. They cant tolerate a government using chemical weapons against their children, nor can they tolerate rule so brutal they have to go around fully vailed, people get hands chopped up, public behead,ings, et cetera, et cetera. I want to end on ebola. Its a global threat. Yet heres what one worker for the World Health Organization in liberia said. Ive worked in many crisis for more than 20 years, and its the first time i see a situation that nobody mewants to come. People are afraid to come. Thats it. Talking to the counterparts at the u. N. , are you confident they will send the people to the region to stop this outbreak . You put your finger on the issue. People want to check the box, we gave it the office, you wrote a check. We need doctors. We need nurses. We need engineers. President obamas leadership on this as with isil has been key. Other countries following . Last week we had a his toric emergency session, 134 cosponsors of the resolution, and we are now calling on those 134 countries to cough up more than checking a box and cosponsors a resolution but a willingness to join us. The fact theres an american foothold there, more than 3,000 troops setting up the joint task force gave countries more confidence. Well bring in liaisons and translate into commitments over time. We dont have time to wait. Thank you so much for joining us in the studio today. Thank you, matt. All right, hoda . Thanks. The man charged with the abduction of a university of virginia student is behind bars this morning. Jesse matthews jr. Was captured in texas last night, 1300 miles away where he was originally seen with hannah. Reporter that suspect is in jail behind me, and investigators from virginia are now on their way here to texas to question him. The mystery remains, where is Hannah Graham . You have the right to remain silent. Reporter this morning, the man accused of abducting Hannah Graham went before a judge after a nationwide man hunt. Were here to announce because of the collaborative efforts of the federal Bureau Investigation and state and local Law Enforcement across this nation, matthew is in jail. Reporter arrested some 1300 miles from where he was seen on video with graham the night she disappeared. The hero of today is a deputy with the police department. Reporter they found the man who pitched a tent on the beach. The deputy questioned hint and ran the plates on his car. Police in virginia were looking for the vehicle thinking matthew could use it, and sure enough, he was, taken into custody without incident. Students at uva reacted with relief. Im really glad hes been found. I think thats a relief for all of us, still all supporting hannah. Reporter while the suspect has been found, theres no sign of Hannah Graham. Asking every person within the sound of my voice to help us find Hannah Graham. Reporter charged with intention to defile, giving false information to a police officer, and hes not entered a plea. Hoda . Thank you so much. Timothy longo joining us now. Good morning to you. Good morning. You found your suspect a thousand miles away. How did you track him down . Wont go into the details, but had a tremendous amount of support from the fbi and certainly other state and local agencies. The fbi was hugely important with respect to helping to track the movement of mr. Matthew, and, certainly, the Galveston County police office, the attention to detail was one of the aspects that brought mr. Matthew in custody. Were not going into specifics how it occurred. Its early on in the investigation, but is he cooperating at all with authorities to lead you to where Hannah Graham may be . At this point, i dont have enough information to really respond to the question. As you know, our last interaction with mr. Matthew last saturday, he invoked right to counsel, asked for an attorney, common law supported him such, and we have not had any conversation with him since. When we are conducting a search of a residence, in this case, a vehicle, we are sending evidence off to the laboratory, awaiting results. We have gotten the results back. Its because of that that we got to the probable cause level now. One of the reasons we are so cautious, we are awaiting additional evidence from the lab we hope to get later this week to further advance this investigation and support that charge. Hannah grahams parents awaiting any information on their daughter. Where is the search focusing, chief . The search is daybyday the Virginia Department of management is working hard with their search and rescue efforts category over probably close to 90 of the city has been searched and outlying areas, marlboro county, we will continue to very aggressively search for the rural and wooded areas around the city in an effort to try to find lana. We are hopeful that we will find hannah and return her to her parents, hopefully. We will continue to have that hope until such time that we have evidence to the contrary. Thank you so much, chief. Thank you, maam. Natalie is here now with new developments in the case of tony stewart. No criminal charges will be filed against pass the car star tony stewart in the death of track driver kevin ward. That is a decision by the new york state grand jury looking into the august 9th accident. The 20yearold ward was hit and killed when he got out of his car on the track to talk to him. A test came back positive for marijuana at the time of the accident. Ward is still cleared, by he could face a civil lawsuit. Police in pennsylvania believe they have spotted a suspect wanted in the death of ap tryer. Eric greene was seen in the distance, rugged terrain that separated them gave frein the ability to disappear. Sfrn accused of killing two Pennsylvania State troopers, one trooper died. The other was wounded. A woman seen on tape being punched by a california Highway Patrol officer has reached a millionandahalf settlement.

And terrifying moments caught on wednesday when a los angeles woman hid on the roof of her house to avoid an intruder, take a look, she is crouching down near a window on the roof.

Still to come this morning, eye opening new research on the relationship between your waist size and your risk of Breast Cancer. But lets begin this half hour with an eye opening and Disturbing Police video of a shooting. A state trooper was fired after he shot a driver during a routine traffic stop. Now he is facing criminal charges in this case. Kristen dahlgren is here with more. Reporter good morning. Shawn gruber was fired after Police Released that video. Wednesday the former trooper was arrested and charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. The shocking video caught on the Police Officers dash cam shows state trooper shawn gruber stopping lavar jones in South Carolina. Jones was standing outside of his suv in a gas station parking lot when gruber asked for his drivers license. Can i have your license please . Reporter when he turned to reach in his vehicle he yelled at him to get out of the vehicle and then fired his weapon at him. Get out of the car get on the ground get on the ground reporter jones is heard asking gruber why he shot him. I just got my license. Put your hands behind your back. What did i do, sir . Are you hit . I think so. I cant feel my leg. I dont know what happened. I just grabbed my license. Why did you shoot me . Well, you dove head first back into your car . Im sorry. Im sorry. I didnt hear two words. You had a seat belt violation, sir. I just undid it at the corner to pull in the gas station. Reporter jones who was unarmed was shot in the hip and treated at a hospital. He released a statement saying hi recovery is coming along well and i hope this situation can make a change not just here at home in South Carolina but coast to coast. Gruber was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature which could carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. He was fired on friday. Police released a statement saying in part, the facts of this case are disturbing to me, but i believe this case was an isolated incident in which mr. Groubert reacted to a perceived threat where there was none. His defense attorney said there is more than one way to interpret the video. He says his client is not guilty. She scheduled to be back in court next month. Kristen dahlgren, thank you. The video is disturbing. The conversation after. Saying i was sorry i was going for my wallet. Its hard to know what was going through that officers mind. You know he wishes he had that moment back. Lets turn to politics now. An unconventional campaign. Mcallister was caught on camera kissing a top aide. Now he and his wife are asking vote toers forgive and forget. Reporter congressman Vance Mcallister is hardly the first scandal scarred politician to ask voters for a second chance. But few have done it like this. Launching a new ad touting the support of the woman he cheated on, his wife. Im Vance Mcallister. And im kelly mcallister. Reporter its not the kind of campaign ad any politician wants to make. One side by side with his wife explaining he should be reelected despite getting caught kissing a woman who was definitely not his wife. Life is filled with ups and downs. But a mans character is based on how many times he gets back up and stands again. Reporter this is likely the last time most people saw the socalled kisses congressman. Vance mcallister caught on camera locking lips with a top aide. He promised not to run for reelection. He broke that because now he is trying to turn his other broken vow into a virtue. Im lucky to have been blessed with a great family and a wonderful christian wife. And im be essed to have a husband who owns up to his mistakes. Always fighting for those of louisiana. Reporter up against max dasher. Im voting for zach, my neph nephew. Hes been officially and thoroughly vetted by the robinson clan. Reporter that was Phil Robertson who finally has all his ducks in a row. Last election they backed mcallister. It worked for South Carolinas mark sanford who got reelected after a very public affair. Analysts say these ads can cut both ways. Voters are very judgmental and consider moral values very seriously in a district like this. But voters are also very forgiving. We approve this message because some things are just worth fighting for. Reporter of course mark sanford made that reelection run without his wife who divorced him. Mcallister faces a pretty big field in the primary set for november 4th. If no candidate wins at least 50 of the vote, the top two will faceoff in a runoff election. We may see this ad for a little while still. All right. Pete for, thank you very much. Lets get a check of the weather from al. Its a third day of fall, right . So you expect really chilly temperatures. Kind of brisk. Especially as you get up into the plains. Around this High Pressure system, weve got a warm i mean a really warm flow of air.

Im going to stop it and show you doppler radar. The trivalley getting hit pretty hard but were seeing clearing in San Francisco where we accumulated over a half an inch of rain. At this point the sky is opening up. Todays temperatures mostly in the 70s and 78 degrees in the south bay. And thats your latest weather. Its going to be like its 7 05 here in new york city tonight. I think there could be a little drizzle but i think theyll play through it. For derek jeters last home game ive been reading, tickets going for upwards of 900. We wish them well. Hopefully the weather cooperates. By the way, we got to talk to jeter about his retirement and water next for him. Take a look. Reporter how does life begin anew for you . Well, first and foremost, i want to rest. I dont want to have a schedule. I have been doing this professionally for 23 years. I have been playing baseball sense i was four or five.

So we knew that obesity plays a factor in Breast Cancer. Were talking about a specific type of weight gain around the middle. This is sort of cool because you and i talked about weight, obesity. What women want to know, some ways are practically talk to me. So this is in a british medical journal. They looked at over 93,000 women, women particularly if they put on weight between their 20s and 50s were more susceptible to Breast Cancer postmenopausally. If they changed from one waist size to another in skirts. So an 8 to a 10 to a 12. An 8 to a 10 could increase their postmenopausal cancer by 31 . You have to say why. Probably because the way we distribute the weight. We talked about abdominal fat. Estrogen can fuel some cancers. It is toxic fat. It releases other chemicals like cortisol. Even the Breast Cancer experts we rolled this by said independent of bmi. Were not talking obesity. This is interesting. There are so many things you cant control, genetics. This is one of those things you can control, right . While you and i talk about genetics a lot. Genetics accounts for 5 to 8 of Breast Cancers in this country. So what causes Breast Cancer, we dont know. We sure talk about environment a lot. Increasingly, we are linking increased weight to all kind of things, including cancer. So if you went up a skirt size in ten years, between, by the time at the end of the study after the age of 48, your chance of Breast Cancer went up 31 , if you went up two skirt sizes, it went up 71 . So a real take home. Simple things in life, tape measure, know your waist size, watch it. If you dont like scales, if your clothes dont feel right, guess right, get back into them and modify how you modify your life. In your 20s, 30s, 40s, you dont pay the price after 50.

But at least six hours. Can you smell that, right . We get a dutch oven. The nice thing is to get a sear. It caramelizes the flavor. After about ten or 15 minutes each side, we take it out. Look someone was hungry. We take it out. We will rest these. Look at the color of the shank. We are moving over. Enjoy the meal. We start with cooking our chicken in beer. Its been shredded.

So i kept dozing off, i would hit the screen to see if anything changed. Goes off, hit the screen, nothing. So this morning i said, somebody have an iphone . They said not to update. I do the news. I dont see it. But i didnt send it to me. I guess im not on the alist. So i saw our executive producer. Bring a hammer out, im fully prepared to go crazy. I cant call anyone. I call my mother every morning at the same to say good morning. I cant call her. I recall a couple weeks ago talking about people not getting rid of their land line. I know. Heres the other thing i learned. How many phone numbers do you know by memory now . Maybe one. Maybe mine. I dont know, i couldnt call you. But your phone didnt work, so you couldnt call anyway. So apple is saying 8. 01 update after lots of users complained. Having hot flashes. A lot of people are experiencing the same. They western able to use the touch i. D. As well. Apple says, by the way, we have a work around for you. If you have an iphone, if you lost service and functionality today after updating to 8. 01. Can reinstall ios 8 on itunes. Get this ready, tamron in the next few days. I was sent the instructions on what to do. I tried. I went through the list. I did everything that i could and it doesnt, come here, children come here, children, come here, come on up. Here, merry christmas. Theyre in our studio. Merry christmas. Wow, thanks for the dead phone. Nobody loves you like our tamron. See you later, byebye, thank you. If someone calls, tell them im not home. Griffin, yes, thats all i got. I got two laptops upstairs, can you have them. You might want to do the white thing. Oh, griffin, those pictures are not tam ron or me. What pictures . Thats what celebrities always say, its not me. Its not just you. A lot of people, trending. I would prefer my phone to bent. Bending. What does it say about apple . This whole new product was supposed to be the big comeback to snuff out the buzz around galaxy and android. What do you think . I think its the hardware. Its a problem with the hardware. Not the software. Almost everybody sent out a new ios, whether you are android. There will always be buds. I wont complain too much. Surely, there is light at the end of the tunnel. There is. Ive learned something. What have you learned . Go old schoolful old school is new school. I need a land line and a paper notebook to write down phone numbers. Keep a rolodex. Al has a rolodex. I love old school. I like new school, too. They can exist together, friend. They can be together. Ebony and ivory. Lets go on. Its good the hear al sing, im happy. A big story, this has gone viral almost overnight, espn suspended bill simmons, he weighs in and gives much opinion all the time on sports and pop culture. Espn decided to suspend him when he blasted Roger Goodell accusing him of lying, basically saying how come you didnt see those ray rice tapes and threatened espn to take action. Good move. Take a listen. Goodell, if he didnt know what was on that tape, hes ra liar. Im saying that dude is lying. Few put him up on a lie detector test, that guy would fail. I hope somebody calls me an emails me and says im in trouble. If one person says that to me, im going public. Leave me alone. Hes a liar, i will talk about that on my podcast, please, call me, say im in trouble. I dare. You dared them and they did. Espn not only suspended him for three weeks, which is one more than ray rice was suspended for in the domestic abuse, espn said those engaged in our editorial operations must operate within sze spns journalistic standards. As a result, we have suspended him for three weeks. Willie, you have more knowledge, pence knowledge. Not necessarily pence knowledge, it was not he criticized the nfl. If you watched outside the lines or keith oberman, they have been going hard on goodell. Its not the criticism towards the nfl. I think he calls him explicitly a liar without having evidence. A lot of people think she a liar. To say that crossed the line. They didnt care about the language, thats his podcast, thats what he does. The other part is basically baiting the executives. We cant have a guy with such a high profile, it sets a bad example. They sat down. Of course, hell probably come back bigger tan ever. Thats the thing. Hes mart terred now, the free simmons hashtag was Number One World wide. Hes a smart guy, a talented guy. Espn felt. That they felt he crossed the line. Do you think he being as smart and media savvy as he is, he purposely did this, taunting espn knowing they would probably take action and then he comes off as the hero and, bam hes bigger than ever . I dont have insight into his thinking. I do know hes been suspended before and it doesnt hurt. If you are suspended with pay, thats a threeweek vacation. Then you come back, you are more popular than ever . It only helps. I dare you, i dare you okay. Of course, our good pal ellen always had a running joke with requested modern family eric stonetree, she scares him, of course, he knows this. Check this out. We are talking as sophia, watch modern family whatever you want. Watch requested mot earn family. Oh my god because my dog is scared of going up and down the stairs.

I had to change, because my day is not over. Im really sorry. No you are not. You know you will do it again. Oh. Meanwhile, can we take, tamron, you are featured in closure magazine. They feature people about the best day of their life. My best day was after my dad came. He was christmas, the holiday dad. I got my family together, his wife, his kids, we took a vacation to prooum puerto rico over labor day and talked about this new Family Tradition in his memory we created. I got to sake a second and think about your life. What has been the best day of your life . You had a cool day yesterday. I got to hang out with Debra Messing and josh. I did mysteries of youre watching today in the bay. Good thursday morning to you. Its 9 56. Im sam brock. Happening right now, the rain is still coming down all across the bay area. It started as a drizzle overnight, quickly turned into a down pour in many areas by the morning commute. Crashes have been reported all over the region. Well be checking in with mike on that. Lets take a live look right now as the system continues to make its way on through. Palo alto, San Francisco, san jose, all areas experiencing some rainfall. Despite the inconvenience to drivers, christina, this is a good thing for rain totals, for sure. It is. [ inaudible ] all right. Lets take a look out here where we have our camera in san jose. We are showing a slower drive northbound 101. Did have a trip through the area, repairing a light in the area, so a lot of work after the rain traveled through. Looking at the map, talking about a slow northbound drive, still need fixing over here throughout the south bay, but not so bad now that the crashes and the flooding of 280 87 cleared up by now. Slower drive many spots, friends coming into the station said it took about five times as long as it typically takes. Over here, recovering after one lane blocked towards vargas. May have moved that, but we had two crashes, tough drive this morning. 880 southbound towards fremont out of the hayward area, still very slow. Down towards mission boulevard and westbound 237, slow corridor. A lot of rain coming through, but things calming down. North 880, as well as 580, cleared. Back to you. Toughed it out. Nice job. Of course, we exercise caution, see you again in 25 minutes. From nbc news, this is today with Kathie Lee Gifford and hoda kotb, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Hey, everybody. It is a little damp, thirsty thursday, september 25th here in new york. We want to wish a very happy new year to all of our jewish viewers out there. We have a nice show today. We certainly do. Big and rich are here. We love when they come here. They were already tweeting this morning about how we had trouble in store. Uhoh. I think they have something planned. Saturday night live keenan thompson, we adore him. And im thrilled to announce that hodas shine a light program, the song, the mashup between these two great artists, you call truly brave, has already raised over 60,000 for pediatric cancer. You guys, thank you. Hoda, you worked so hard on this and everybody in the makeup room, when watching, it came on earlier this morning, i mean, sobbing. Wait until you see, if you missed it. It will break your heart and give you such hope too at the same time. People are giving on crowd rise, which i didnt even know what that website was. But it is crowdrise. Com, thank you, kath. Thank you, guys. Get kleenex, actually a towel. Have a towel close by. You wonder why we have bras here. Well, we can. We can have bras here. Were following up to actually jerry likes to carry them around. So i dont know what jerry does with them, when the show is over, but i dont want to know. Heres the thing. Yesterday we had a debate about how often you should wash your bras. You, kathie lee, the clean queen, washes hers almost every time. I try to, yeah. I disagree because i dont. And sometimes you know what, because i feel like you can wear it and it is not really youre not exercising, it is nothing is happening. Do you wash your sports bras . Yes. But in those i really sweat. I noticed that. Im icky. We asked our viewers. Heres what they said. 12 said yes, i wash my bra after every wear. And 88 said no, they dont. I never, ever it is the right answer. 88 of the people chose it. We also got hundreds of comments like deborah said, did hoda really just say she wears a bra for a week before washing it. I cant believe that. Thats a little judgmental, dont you think . She only has three bras and washes them every one to two weeks. Thats a long time. And carol gave us another idea, she said, i dont wear one. Kudos to barbra streisand. She just made music history. Frozen is not in the top ten, went down to 13. She, at 72 years old, it was her new cd partners, entered the billboard 200 chard at number one for her tenth number one album and first artist in all time to have a number one album for in one of every six consecutive decades. Oh, my gosh. Thats unbelievable. Yes, yes, yes, yes. It is unbelievable. The duets can we crank her for a second . Here she is singing with josh groban. Theres a place for us a place for us okay. I asked for the big thing at the end, but i never get what i want around here. Thats beautiful. Two gorgeous thats one of my all time beautiful. Here it is. Some day some day somewhere somewhere beautiful. Oh, my gosh. Gorgeous. Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim when he was like 22 years old. Guess who wrote the music . Who . Leonard bernstein. Thats a classic. Yes. West side story. This is interesting. Yes. Other disney news. Frozen, a huge hit, everything about it is huge, you cant find any of the swag you need anymore. A woman out here is suing disney for 250 million claiming froz frozen is based on her life story. Isabella who also goes by elle amy gonzalez. She filed a complaint in federal court. This is what she claims. It is based on her 2010 autobiography called living in my truth. Living my truth. Exactly. Where she writes about growing up i dont want her to sue you. In the mountains of peru. Where snow apparently just went through her hands and out through her fingertips. It could happen to anybody. The Court Document cites 18 examples that parallel her life. Image of the hands to the sky. It is public domain, which means they can do it for free and not pay. We at nbc news, we reached out to walt disney for comment and we havent heard back yet. They said no. I think maybe she wants people to read her book, which whoever has heard of it, until right now. Theres an idea. Exactly. Okay. Heres something hoda has known for a long time. Okay. This is a sex study, but it basically says that men who are chubbier, more portly excess body fat. More around the middle. Excess body fat. They experience increased sexual performance as compared to men who have washboard abs. We got a whole bunch of happy men here. All right. I dont even want to read this. You guys, if im reading it, please dont move it. Please. Every year men could last an average of 7. 3 minutes. Yeah. And men who are fit last 108 seconds, which is a minute and some extra. Okay. 48. Whatever. Heres the thing. If youre with the wrong guy, it is too long no matter what. Way too long. Okay. That is there is an official reason for are it. Scientific. I dont want to hear it.

And keenan tehompson gets to the bottom of the a body at rest tends to stay at rest. While a body in motion tends to stay in motion. Staying active can ease arthritis symptoms but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. Prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, so your body can stay in motion. Because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. Plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. And its not a narcotic. You and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. All prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. They all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. This chance increases if you have Heart Disease or risk factors such as high Blood Pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. Nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. Patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. Dont take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. Get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. Tell your doctor your medical history. And ask your doctor about celebrex. For a body in motion.

In life, its how you get there that matters most. Like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. My doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. So he talked to me about xarelto®. Xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. For a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time. While i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didnt have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. Ask your doctor about xarelto® today. Sure wish youactually. Bring layaway back. That way i could split the payments into little bitesize chunks. I mean you feel me right . Yeah uh, sir. Oh layaway is back, with no opening fee. Backed by savings catcher. Walmart. Apthai shrimp salad,bos now with crisp greens,w juicy shrimp, and sliced almonds.
