out a very different person four years ago, she was somewhat reluctant, accepted this, talking about her hesitation about the white house. this was a confident woman who strode onto that set podium

we're not voting for a first lady but you're voting for a situation that says to america, this is my vision and this is my partner. >> that's not the woman. >> this is -- >> i disagree with you. i think people do vote for the partnership, whether you want to intellectualize it or not. if you believe there's pillow osmosis, and i believe there is pillow osmosis, people, they talk. >> on both

boy said he was going to bring it up and said i'm glad you've got your clothes on, prince harry, he offsided them. >> there's no way for these young men to act like young men and be rabble-rousers.

our society, bonnie and clyde. it happens in real life. obviously it's wrong. i'm not surprised though. >> the rules are the rules. the rules say this is a take home test. you may look at anything you want but you may not collaborate with someone else. what part of that did you not get? >> cheating didn't start yesterday. people used to write answers on their home. >> take home test. >> you're asking to cheat. >> there are codes of ethics, honor codes these kids have to sign. i think the really interesting thing is what does harvard do with 125 kids who may have cheated. do you send them home? do you want to keep the tuition, yes. >> one-year sprenuspension. >> not going to happen. >> speaking of harvard, mark zuckerberg screwed his partner, cheated him out of it and he's the

>> yeah. my husband works as a contractor and he doesn't have options currently for a 401(k). i was wondering what is the best way to capitalize on the little bit of money we have in an i.r.a. >> david, how do you build on that. >> because he's a contractor, what i would recommend is instead of an ira, open up a self-employed retirement account, accept i.r.a. he's self-employed, a huge advantage being a contractor. he can put up to $50,000 away tax deductible. with i.r.a., only $5,000 tax deductible. as jean said, 10% of his gross in corks upwards of 25%. i would roll over i.r.a. to accept, put more than $5,000 away. >> thanks for the question, tiffany. we're going to the phone lines now, beverly checking in. she's calling out west from california. hi, beverly. >> hi, how are you? >> i'm going great. how are you and what's your question? >> as a retired senior i'm looking for a legitimate online business or part-time job that can be done outside of the home. what resources or companies can you recommend? >> this is a really popular question. we get this all the time on financially fit. did you know people over the age of 65, one in five are either work are or looking for work. she is like many americans right now. legitimate websites i think you should check out, one is retirementjobs.com. beverly, this is a site that's constantly updating its database for senior friendly companies and postings there. also depending on what you want to do, be a little entrepreneurial, a great site is tutor.com. if you want to tutor people on your own time, video chats, make between $10 and $14 at home. run tasks for your neighbors, as you're running around doing tasks for yourself. task.com pays $40 to $50 per task. if you want something more technical at home at the computer, data entry, fact checking, elance.com is a great source as well for finding pay, great paying jobs from the convenience of your home. i think it's great that's where you are mind-set is at. let's face it, when you're in your 60s you're not ready to throw in the towel and you need money. >> and you've got to stay active. back to the phones. sharita calling in from binghamton new york. hi, sharita. >> hi, al, good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm from new york and want to know what independent retirement savings plan should i invest in for future security since i do not work a traditional job. >> all right, sharita, david talked about the accept i.r.a. the other one to look at is a solo 401(k). again, unlike a roth i.r.a. or traditional i.r.a., these allow you to put away more money than you can put into those accounts. the difference is if you have employees or if you don't have employees. so if you don't have employees, then you want to look at the solo 401(k). if you do the accept i.r.a. get going so it will add up and work for you. >> thanks so much. thanks to everybody. for those of you on the east coast. she's sticking around for a live web chat on today.com. up this morning on "today's" beauty, this year's best products for your hair, "prevention" magazine has done the legwork for you annual beauty awards. prevention beauty director, jennifer, good morning. >> good morning. >> time to whip our hair back and forth. i love it. you went through 1700 products and six were standouts. that's a long list to go through. >> we narrowed down finalists with chemists, dermatologists and sent some of these products to independent testing labs where they put them on the hair, showers and combing to see which ones really help keep your hair healthy as well as beautiful. >> what they promised. let's start out with the best hairspray. why is this the best? >> l'oreal ever style is neat because it doesn't have alcohol. a lot have alcohol so it's drying. the more you use it, the frizzier it gets, ends dried out. this is moisturizing. we sent this to prevention readers at home. they use it in the morning and lasted all day. stayed put. >> keep spritzing through the day. love that. next up, shampoo, this says super shiny. that is the case? >> yes, it will make your hair super shiny. the key is it doesn't have sulfates. you probably hear a lot about sulfates. surfactants that cleanse hair but make color fade. it's without those, helps keep it moisturized. also mango nut oil. >> what does that do. >> shiny, moisturized, hydrated. all natural. >> still smell good. >> a fruit scent but from natural sources. >> citrus clean. very nice. moving on to conditioners. why did this one stand out? >> this clear scalp and hair therapy conditioner is neat. a zink complex. this the kind of conditioner you put throughout, massage your scalp and make it healthier. >> a treatment with that in it makes it grow as well. >> promotes scalp health, sunflower oil. put it through the lab, a comb through it 100 times to see how it does, makes combing hair four to five times easier, that means no shedding, hair loss. >> home color, a real pain if you don't get the right thing. >> there's lots of things to choose from with couture colors. ammonia-free, great for allergies. an oil from the brazilian rain forest helps the color last longer, wraps around the hair strands. it had 45% less color loss than other dyes. the more you wash your hair, the color will stay. >> which is the hard thing. you wish it, two washings later you're doomed. volumizer. >> this is great. a lot of old mousses were crunchy and had alcohol. this one is like -- squirt it and see how it goes. like a whipped cream, a creamy fixture, polymers that wrap around strands and makes them thicker. builds at the root, lots of volume. >> working for you. i like it. >> porcupine. moving on my sticking up hair to smooth it out. >> that's the thing, volume or smooth. for the women with frizzies, want to smooth, this nexus is great. what it does, wraps around the ends and seals split ends together. 86% of split end. somebody counted, i met him, i know. >> what would you use it for specifically. >> put this on damp hair, smooth it out so before you below dry it won't frizz. if you have split ends they can look fried. this smooth them down so it's shiny. >> thank you. got music ending the show. just ahead kathie lee and hoda cook up some $10.
