Hes wanted on serious charges in sweden and earlier this morning he announced hes finally preparing to leave. Kelly, good morning. Reporter good morning, tamron nop sign of Julian Assange so far this morning. But earlier today he did tell a group of reporters inside that he was going to leave soon. He wouldnt say when or why. Hes locked himself away in this embassy for the past two years to avoid extradition to sweden where hes wanted on a pair of Sexual Assault cases and he could face 35 years in a u. S. Prison as well. Assange said again today he was innocent. He says the cases in sweden is part of a politically driven u. S. Plot against him. He also said questions about his health or issues that potentially he had heart and lung problems, he said those are not the reasons for him deciding to leave. He says theres been a change in british law which may affect his case. And, of course, on his defense team is amal almudin. If he steps outside of that embassy, he will be arrested. Thank you.

The longestserving governor in niervegtzs focused on 2016 recently revamping his image trading in his cowboy boots for stylish glasses. All to help erase embarrassing moments from a 2012 campaign. I cant. Im sorry. Oops. Reporter but that faces a new obstacle. Perry blasting his indictment as outrageous. This is not the way we settle political differences in this country. You dont do it with indictments. We settle our political differences at the ballot box. Reporter a texas grand jury indicted him for two charges of abuse of power. Youve been arrested for dwi. Reporter perry threatened to use his veto power to withhold funds from her agency. When lundberg didnt step down, he vetoed. This amounts to nothing more than abuse of power and i cannot and i will not allow that to happen. Reporter perry spent last week reintroducing him in iowa and others. His indictment does raise another issue for republicans. Another 2016 contender with a blemish on his resume.

Kristen da krist Kristen Dahlgren has this this morning. Reporter youve probably seen spot in the movies. Now its at the center of this controversy. It is one of the worlds most Famous Hotels with an almost mythical history. The glamour of the great gatsby. Kate hudson and Anne Hathaway fought over a dream wedding here. And little elouise lived her storybook life in one of its rooms. But now human activists are outraged the hotel could belong to the sultan of brunei. The leader of a small oilrich country that was recently condemned by the United Nations for its penal code for muslims including death by stoning for homosexuals and adulterers.

So why and how . Take a look. Not too hot and not too muggy. I like it hotter. Reporter these are the dog days of summer, right . Well, that depends on where you call home.

Plus januvia, by itself, is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar hypoglycemia . Januvia should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Tell your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis. Serious side effects can happen, including pancreatitis which may be severe and lead to death. Stop taking januvia and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area which may be pancreatitis. Tell your doctor right away and stop taking januvia if you have an allergic reaction that causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or affects your breathing or causes rash or hives. Kidney problems sometimes requiring dialysis have been reported. Using januvia and a sulfonylurea or insulin together may cause low blood sugar. To reduce the risk, your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of the sulfonylurea or insulin. Your doctor may perform blood tests before and during treatment to check your kidneys.

Reporter there was this video of someone rifling through the shelves. Then a blue came to this reporter from someone claiming to be the thief. Every single item that she had is fake. Reporter apparently using a burner phone with a new york city area code disguising his or her voice. His sort of demeanor seemed like someone who felt like they were wronged. Reporter the caller said he contacted romer asking for more than half a Million Dollars to return the stolen items and not disclose his claim that theyre fake. But the deal didnt go through, so he called the paper. If you give me an address, i will send you samples of items of hers. Reporter they received a brown envelope containing a dozen things to be Costume Jewelry and a keepsake locket. They said the locket appeared to be hers. She never pretended that everything in her closet was high priced but says she has receipts to back up her claims. Everything was turned over to the sheriffs office. So hopefully this will help. Reporter and romer also told the website that she believes because her story got so much publicity that he was unable to sell any of this stuff. Thats when he tried to extort her. The Sheriffs Department is still investigating. I think well hear more on this one. Its hard to get me to feel sorry for a burglar, but i dont know. This may be one of those cases.

This morning on rossen reports, the dangers you might face on the water. This comes a a teenage girl was killed in a tragic tubing accident in connecticut just this month. Today jeff rossen is here with more on that. Reporter important story for all of us. Good morning, guys. Im sure a lot of you were out on the water this weekend. It was beautiful. Some of you even tubing. It is fun, no question about that. And more popular than ever. But deadly accidents keep on happening. The tubes flip over at high speeds dumping you into the water. Then people make split second decisions that can end in death. There are simple tips to keep you safe. This morning im jumping in to show you what to do when you flip. Its a great way to beat the heat. Zipping behind a boat. Sweeping across the sea. And while it looks like harmless fun, youtube is full of extreme wipeouts. There he goes. Oh hes gone. When youre out there tubing, youre going 18 to 25 miles an hour. When you fall off it can almost feel like hitting concrete. Reporter last year alone, there were more than 4,000 boating accidents resulting in 560 deaths. Many from water sports. The latest just two weeks ago when this 16yearold girl from connecticut fell off her tube. When the boat turned around to pick her up, emily was struck and killed by the churning propeller. Shes gone, and so its just, its crazy to think it could happen to anyone. Reporter now the largest Boat Association is issuing a new warning. Are y are you ready to go . Reporter ready. Putting me on a tube to demonstrate tips. On this turn as i hit the boats wake, i wipe out. The tube flying in the air. My body slamming into the water. Okay, so when you fall off the tube, your immediate instinct is going to be to swim back to the boat. Dont do that. You want to stay exactly where you are and tread water. Wearing a lifeboat is mandatory so its easy. Look around for other boats. Make sure you wont get hit. Youre just a tiny little dot in the middle of this giant sea. They can barely see you. Then give the okay sign to your boat make eye contact and wait for them to come get you. And what the Boat Operator does next is just as critical. Jeff, im coming to you, stay where you are. Grab the towline. With the motor off, theres no chance of you getting hurt by the propeller. Reporter thats the biggest tip. Cut the engine. When the boat gets close, i grab the line. So the engine is off so this is safe. There you go. Reporter and now were safe on the boat, no chance for propeller collision. You can have a great time and still be safe. Reporter by the way, all those tips also apply to all water sports like wake boarding and water skiing. Some other important things to remember, always make sure there are at least two people on the boat. Someone to drive and also a spotter so when youre dumped off they can see you and make eye contact with you. Experts say you should also be wearing a life jacket. Seems obvious, but believe it or not, most of the people who die every year are not wearing them. Great information. Jeff, thank you. Appreciate it. Well, coming up on trending, wish your kids would stop ignoring your phone calls . Now theres an app for that. And next an issue of who to root for thats come up on a derek jeter farewell tour.

Yesterday in tampa, st. Petersburg to be exact, jeter comes to the plate, he gets an ovation. But in the ninth inning he hits the goahead single. Okay . Brings in a run. The yankees take the lead. Huge cheers from the crowd for that. That didnt sit well with joe maddon. He said i understand that people like derek jeter. But you have to come out and root for the rays too. Im not going to sit here and defend all that noise in yankees favor in our ballpark. What hasnt been said is theres an awful lot of yankee fans down there. New yorkers retire down there, theyre transplanted. On a regular day, yankee fans fill up that stadium as well. Nancy is a sox fan. Im supposed to hate the yankees but jooet ser a class act. I love baseball enough to acknowledge the end of a great career. And this, by the way, this is in new jersey. This is a tribute of jeter. Want to hear what you think about all this. The bottom line was joe maddon was upset because of the second round of cheers that led the yankees to beat the team. Didnt somebody say there are still three more games in tampa for the yankees so you could cheer then. But the people in those stands might not have the tickets to those future games. This might be their last chance to salute jeter. Also they dont get big crowds there. But hes frustrated they dont get more fans on a daily basis. Great for baseball to have jeter there.

One father learned the hard way at a game on saturday. Nice seats. Dad catches the ball and look immediately gives it to his young son. A nice moment. And the boy chucks it back on the field. The most perfect souvenir from the game. So dad almost loses it. But lucky for him he gets the ball back and the game is saved. No harm, no foul. Nice for the player or coach to throw it back. Usually when it comes from the stands, thats not what happens. You teach your kids when you get something, give it back. Not a foul ball. Thats whats trending today. Up next tamron shines a all right. Were back now with more of our yearlong series to give back. Its called shine a light. Weve seen natalie run the Boston Marathon to honor victims there. Carson raising awareness about hunger and obesity. Now its tamrons . I chose to shine a light on Domestic Violence. I met with seven women who were beautiful, strong, and brave enough to share their story. They are all survivors. You have young ones in the room, this issue is important, but you may want to ask them to step out during this segment t. I think i was sort of the classic example of where you think it cant happen. I felt like it was okay for a guy to hit you. I grew up in a very small, Southern Community where you should stay with someone unless they physically beat you up or make a scene. It starts in small steps. Starting off we would talk about it and it was calm. Then it just started escalating into more of us physically. And the physical altercations. Controlling behavior. Telling me what i can wear, who i can hang out with. You cant wear shorts. He wanted me to wear bigger clothes than my natural size. At the time i just felt, oh, hes just you know, he doesnt want any other men looking at me. A lot of young ladies mistake jealousy over someone caring for you. It gives you a sense of importance. Like im important to this person. Its also the main reason why its so hard to get out of it. Because this person brings down the moon and hands it to you in a gold. Plate and this same person uses that same love to, like destroy you. Do you remember the first time you were hit . Yes. We were arguing and he threw me on the bed and duct taped me. My mouth, my eyes, my arms, and my legs. What were you thinking when that was happening . I thought i was going to die. I thought he was going to kill me. Whyd you go back . I loved him. When you heard im sorry, did you believe it . Yes. You think its something thats going to pass. Like it wasnt me. So you kind of believe that. Because youre like i dont love that crazy person i had to deal with for five or ten minutes, i love you. I remember going to the emergency room because i had a black eye. I didnt have the courage to just come forward and say my eye is black because of this. I felt like if a nurse or a doctor or the person on the floor would have asked me what happened to my eye, i could have got some kind of help. And no one ever asked me. When my daughter was born, thats when i told him, i dont care what you say and what you think in your wicked mind. Im not with you. Whatever i do from this point on is for my daughter and myself. Theres no way in hell that im ever going to stay with you because what you did is wrong to me. I was tired. I didnt want to fight anymore. I didnt want to argue anymore. I just remember him running towards me holding my neck against the wall and just looking at me and saying, you know, talk back to me. I couldnt talk back. I could barely breathe. He then grabbed my daughters thigh and just squeezed it with the same pressure he was screaming my neck. My daughter was screaming. Her leg was purple. I was like, you can hurt me, you can slam me, you can do whatever you want to, but you will not touch my daughter. And thats when i was like, i have to get out of this house. I had to get out when he dragged me down to the basement. He beat me with a vacuum cleaner. He told me that i wasnt nothing. He was going to knock all my teeth out so dont nobody have me. When someone tells you youre nothing, how does that feel . When he told you you were nothing . I didnt believe it. Part of my guilt ive shared is that when i was in the presence of Domestic Violence involving my sister, i got frustrated because i felt like she wasnt listening. And i carry that guilt with me every day that as a Family Member i didnt know what to do. So how do you think we can save a life . No one teaches us how to love ourselves. If i loved myself enough not to allow someone to do that to me. If my mother had that talk with me, after we talk sex were going to sit and talk about what a man can do to you. I think educating people is never that easy. I dont think one woman would sit here and share that story where it happened once and i left. Because no one asked you out on a first date and said im going to hit you in six months. You fall in love with this person. How do we save a life . Let them know theyre not alone. Dont give up. Theres help. Because at the end of the day you will get through it. And when you get through it, youll be stronger than you ever would be. So if you want to help end Domestic Violence im sorry please go to crowd rise. Com tamron and you can donate and all proceeds go to the nonprofit day one. Its an amazing story. It comes from a place in your heart. How did these women get to a place in their lives where they could speak about it. There had to be a long time they couldnt talk about it. Absolutely. Through counseling. Through support. A number of organizations. These wonderful, brave women are from all over. Many of them philadelphia, new york area. But there are programs that extend coast to coast. They didnt do it alone. They found support. And part of what we want to do in our goal to save a life is to show people that theres someone out there. Many of them felt alone. And it takes my breath away to see people survive so much and they did it for their children in some cases. But they are survivors. We resist from calling them victims. They are survivors. And i cry of course when you hear these details, but my tears are also inspirational. Because they are there. They are fighters and they now which is a blessing in all of this want to help someone else. And they are. A couple of things jump out when you hear those women talk. One is that i loved him, so i didnt leave. And somebody said nobody when you start dating someone and the courtship is going, by the way im going to start beating you in six months. So they fall deeply into the relationships and then the problem starts. By that time they feel too far into the relationship. And what we want to do with this campaign also is bring attention to girls who are suffering under the impact of violence. The girls are younger and younger. We talk about social media and bullying. Social media has now lent its hand to abusers who now want your passwords and let me control your facebook. This is inspirational. I hope you can join me in this challenge. Ive been open about my sister. I talked to her children and they are joining the campaign now with me. Thats my beautiful sister and my family is in on this. Im sorry to be crying. But this is about inspiration. And courage. A lot of courage of those women. And how do they take that first step . One of the organizations is day one. You do have to look for those resources, but youre not alone. There are people there and we are part of those there now. Thanks for bringing that. Were back after your local news.

Nick also models and probably didnt have to get his hands dirty, but a few years ago he came captivated by fashioning hats. I always loved them and the history of them.

Welcome to today on a beautiful monday morning here in new york city. Its august 18th, 2014. Look whos back with us. Tamron hall. We missed you. I missed you guys too. I had an amazing week. Was that oprah . Yeah, you did. I wasnt with oprah. I was with friends. And we hung out. It was fan its a pick. Just relaxed . Yeah. It was my first vacation without my nieces and nephew. Thats why shes like it was great. Sorry, kids. You had an adult vacation. I had a grown folks vacation. I took my food and wine magazine. I practiced cooking. I cooked almost every day like some challenging things. I swam across the pool. I just learned to swim a couple years ago. Made it across the whole pool. Eight feet. Probably wont do it again. I went to the deep end. Good for you. You passed. I passed my first deep water test. I missed you guys. We missed you. Glad youre back. Al is going to be back on wednesday. Its the big 60. So were excited. Hes an incredible 60, isnt he . The energy and life. All the things planned for him and things that have popped up in corn fields. Right. The corn maze to celebrate roker. We celebrate roker year round. This is true. Al will be back later this week to celebrate. Weve got chocolate on the table. Well explain why in just a moment. First thing were talking about is the weather. Because its been a cool summer here in the northeast. New york and boston by the way usually get 90 degrees about 15 times a year. 90 or higher. This day only four days. Portland, oregon, is already triple that with 12. Dallas didnt hit triple digits until july 13th. That is late. What do you guys think . I feel like i missed summer because i was away for a lot like in july. I was covering the world cup. You were in rio. But i missed it here. I missed being out with the kids in the pool somewhere. Out on a beach. But, yeah, i feel like i missed summer. I feel like a lot of people are i think its great. I dont like air conditioning. I dont like it. I dont like the feel of it. I dont have there in my house i dont turn it on here unless its excruciating with humidity. If we could get a nice few days of 90 without humidity. I admit, i miss just a little summer heat wave. Just one. Yeah. Without humidity. Kiss of heat. No humidity. Dylan called us goldilocks earlier. Dont you think this is nice . Its 82, theres a little breeze. You know whos loving this . Retailers with their fall stuff. Im tempted even though im not breaking my 30day no shopping rule. Im tempted to go by cashmere sweaters and just wrap myself up. Starbucks is in on this. Their famous Pumpkin Spice latte which has its own twiddle handle. Im going to follow. Theyre bumping up release date. Last year there was a pumpkin shortage because of some kind of bug that went through pumpkin crops. Now were starting early. That was just a bump for this year. Good job. Heres a question. I think we need a body language expert like Janine Roberts on the show. But time. Com has a really good article online right now called how important is your body language . 55 of what you convey comes from your body language. I think we all know that, right . Youre shutting me out right now. Thats what that says. Giving me the cold shoulder. Or he wants a back rub. You know me too well. Heres interesting. When youre speaking about something emotional, only 7 of what the other person hears really has to do with the words that youre using. Theyre really analyzing the emotions that are coming through. In five minutes they say you can often elevator people and with approximately 70 accuracy. You can pretty much judge somebody in five minutes. I dont know if thats really saying a lot about a person. That doesnt tell their lifes story. Heres another question. Youre in a business meeting or job interview, what do cross legs mean . You have a skirt on. Thats what i say. If youre a woman, its what you do. When youre negotiating, it could have a devastating effect. Come on. I think if youre a guy, perhaps. So they want you to go in as a woman and not cross your lelgs. Thats a different kind of negotiating. Thats a basic instinct thing. I think you have to be ladylike. Janine has the palms down indicates power. If youre on the table. Palms up shows submission. She tells us this all the time. So i dont have to worry about crossing my legs. I walk in stand the whole time, and slam down. Look at me, this is whats going to happen. Or else. In that accent . Yeah. Works every time. Ill take you in when i buy a car. I think the rules are different with men and women on that one . A woman has to cross her legs when wearing a skirt. Otherwise its inappropriate. Show time. This is the best ever. It reaches all of us. A researcher for a ph. D. Of chocolate in the department of Chemical Engineering and biotechnology. Yes. You at home, you can become a doctor of chocolate. Isnt that fabulous . The challenge would be to stop chocolate melting in warm climates by studying the fundamentals of heatstable chocolate. Apply by august 29th. So i think you have to be a Chemical Engineering ph. D. Right . Or just a connoisseur of clock lat. Thats going to cost you five bucks on your detox. Is that worth it she gave up sweets. I gave up sweets which is detox challenge. I think i was set up to fail. Because i owe 170. I was at the Womens Health party over the weekend. And this stranger, woman, lovely lady came over and said you know thats going to cost you. Because they had a when jerrys stand. 175. Go ahead. 180. Its not per bite. Its per instance. Well give you a 5minute. Im turning in my chip tomorrow. I cant do it anymore. Youre out . Im out. You have 13 days. Im out. I broke down once. You did break down. But you said youve been eyeballing and putting things to the side. So is that fair . Well, i have them in my mind ive been saying i want to get that on september 1st. You will. Thats cheating. Thinking is cheating. Theyve been added to your cart, you just havent hit purchase. That counts. How are you doing . Im good. Its easier than i thought it would be. And you lost a couple of pounds. Im just not having a sandwich. Im not going to pizza or pasta. Chicken, vegetables, fruits. So no carbs. My kids each goldfish crackers. I didnt count that as a violation. Because its not a bread. Or a pasta. They are bread. Those crispy goldfish. Misery loves company. Thank you. 180. Are we still reading this one . Okay. Im so rude. Heres an interesting thing. When you get married, there are obviously great traditions. Remember this moment from Steve Martins film father of the bride . I love this movie. Okay so, of course, the father walk this bride down the aisle. Question is, is it becoming Old Fashioned . More and more you hear about now both parents walking the bride down the aisle. In fact, the website distractify looks at the outdated traditions like giving away the bride. Others they say are the garter toss, bouquet toss. Not seeing each other before the wedding. I love these. Smashing the cake in each others face. I dont like that one. Thats aggressive. You did that. No. Our friend did that. Got drunk and smashed his face in the cake. Different story. Who walks you down the aisle, if you have just a mom or a brother. I went to a wedding recently, my friend her sons 20 now, he walked her down the aisle. It accommodates the modern family and your story. I love the whole idea of somebody giving away the bride though. I think theres something timeless. I do see a way of people seeing it as you own me and youre giving me away. But i get it. Did you ask for their hand in marriage. Whether youre asking the mother of father. I think its sweet. Its a sign of respect. But there is a line that people have as far as modern way of looking at life. I agree. My cup of tea, im more traditional. But i get it. And people dont have to do any of these things. Yeah. All right, dylan dreyer. Whats happening with the weather . Its freezing. I didnt have a wedding cake at our wedding. We had apple crisp instead. I love that. Speaking of the perfect month, october, feeling more like october around here. And we also have a cold front thats trying to move through thats going to stall out back through here. And were going to see these waves along this front. Weve got a pocket of heavier down pours in arkansas. One through tends and northern georgia. Then well see showers and storms begin to move into parts of the southeast. Now, some of these storms could produce heavier rain and we could end up with isolated amounts as much as 3 to 5 inches. Possible in just a threehour time period. We could see some of those heavier pockets of rain that could lead good morning, im first alert meteorologist Brittney Shipp. As we head to the start of your workweek, plenty of sunshine expected and nice condition and temperatures range between 81 and 84 degrees and our wind direction will shift out of the southwest five to ten miles per hour. Your sevenday forecast shows a chance of showers and an increase in clouds as we head into tuesday. 82 degrees and our humidity continues to build throughout the rest of our week and also see a chance of storms wednesday, thursday, friday clearing up by next weekend.

Thats the hardest thing, kate, to be honest with you. I brought all my stuff here. But what . Its just that i cant really work if theres someone else around. I cant concentrate. You know . And marisa tomei and director ira sachs are joining us this morning. Good morning. Its a beautifully told movie. Its a beautiful story. A lot of buzz already. Perhaps even oscar buzz on your performance. So what drew you to the role . I just wanted to work with ira, actually. I was doing another film that has the same producer in common. And they kind of dangled that bait. Were doing ira sachs next movie. So i was like i want to be in it. Im actor bait. Without having read the script is what i mean. I think the script is you know, john lithgow was already in and people respond z to the story about love which is from three different perspectives. From this older couple, then marisa in the middle, then a young boy asking questions about love for the first time. So i think its a human film. So it was the director but also the story and the issues it grapples with. I know theyre important to you not just in this film but life as well. Yes. Well, i mean, it celebrates and talks about love in a very how have you been saying it . Its human. I think to me theres issues around samesex marriage, but thats the starting point. It is hard to articulate it. It is about samesex marriage but really about love. Its a couple thats been together for 39 years. Its just in the subtleties of that relationship you see how deeply they know each other so well. I think whats rare for these actors is to actually be the lead in a story about an older couple. Samesex or not, theres not that many films out there where theyre given the opportunity. I had the advantage of working with these incredible comic actors. I couldnt have imagined we could turn this film with a lot of dramatic situations into also a comedy. But if youve got marisa tomei, yeah. How was that with john and alfred . The dynamic there had to be incredible. I felt so lucky. Id worked with alfred many years ago, so it was a sweet reunion. And john is just the most generous, easy to fall into any scene with. Hes a great actor. You want to be up there at their level and play with them. And our young gentleman, charlie, is also fantastic. Ira, what do you hope people take away from this movie when they see it . I hope they connect to it in a really personal way. That seems to be whats happening in the movie. People feel it reflects part of their own lives. That can be from a variety of positions and experiences. When my mother and stepfather say thats our story, i feel ive honored them. Its beautiful, the longterm love, that intimacy. Knowing someone so well and having those shared jokes over so long and every the way that those two alfred and john know each other is so beautiful. And then my relationship with my husband isnt as happy. I have a lot of sour face going on. But everybody can connect. Yeah. And i think on a level in terms of the changing notion of the times, i think this film is for a lot of people an introduction to a samesex couple they havent had before. And i think people leave the film knowing that theyre part of their own family. And i think thats significant. We are in a new time and this film reflects that. Congratulations on the film. Its a really sweet, lovely story. Thank you for bringing it to us. Love is strange opens in select theaters this friday. Coming up next, ill give you all the news you need before you walk out the door this morning. And later, she plays the gorgeous Love Interest on entourage. Now shes coming to talk. Shell talk about her new show i and i wondered what it was. Pain, everywhere. My doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic, widespread pain. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. I learned lyrica can provide significant relief from fibromyalgia pain. And less pain means i can do more with the ones i love. Lyrica is not for everyone. It may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, changes in eyesight including blurry vision, muscle pain with fever, or tired feeling. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. I found answers about fibromyalgia. Then i found lyrica. Ask your doctor about lyrica today. Mom usually throws a gogurt in there. Well moms not here today so were doing things dads way. Which means i get.

Philadelphia taney dragons are moving on in the Little League world series. This one to short, fielded cleanly to first. That was the game winner last night as taney taked down texas 76. Im chris cato. Welcome back to today. Its monday morning, august 18th, 2014. Im will with natalie and tamron. Al will be back later in the week. Weve been highlighting issues important to our hearts in our shine a light series. Im going to later this year help renovate a homeless shelter for children. Natalie ran the Boston Marathon. Earlier today we got to see tamrons shine a light. Shes shining a light on Domestic Violence and met with seven women who were strong and brave enough to share their experiences. Heres one of those stories. I was just tired. I didnt want to fight anymore. I didnt want to argue anymore. And i remember him just running towards me holding my neck against the wall and just looking at me and saying, you know, talk back to me. I couldnt talk back. I could barely breathe. He then grabbed my daughters thigh and just squeezed it with the same pressure he was squeezing my neck. My daughter was screaming hysterically. Her leg was purple. I was, like, you can hurt me. You can slam, you can do whatever you want to me but you will not touch my daughter. And thats when i was like, i have to get out of this house. Stories like those brought to you by tamron have so far raised just since we heard the story a couple hours ago, 6600 to help fight Domestic Violence. You can see here. You can go to crowd rise. Com tamron if you want to chip in and help out. Tamron, obviously people who know you know how personal this is for you. Yes. My sister was a victim of Domestic Violence for many years of her life. She passed away a few years ago. That is renada. She has two amazing sons who have been supportive of this who are both watching. And, you know, this is about inspiring people to open their eyes and to make a change. The women that i had a chance to meet, a couple of them were victims when they were 12, 13 years old. And so people often believe that this is a problem in your 30s or 20s. But its growing. Social media is playing a role. We talk about social media and bullying. When someone says give me your pass code or let me check your voice mail. Theyre using technology to control you. Thats a new aspect of it. But these women are brave. Day one is an organization, it was the first group that allowed me to open up and tell my sisters story. They do great work. They talk to boys about what love is. I keep telling myself, today, not tomorrow. And were doing this today not tomorrow. I have an Incredible Team of friends and family and i consider you both family who are supporting me but most important are those women. Were here for you. And were going to do this. Absolutely. And tamron has done a lot of work in her life on this issue. This is just you seeing it out in the daylight. Thank you so much. Lets get a check of the weather now from dylan. Thanks, guys.

A lot of kids across the country already back in school. Others starting in the next few days. For parents and School Supplies, its long and expensive. Whether or not you have a kindergartner or college freshman, jean chatzky has some tips. The expenses really add up and the lists have gotten longer. The average family spends about 670 on back to school shopping. That is a lot. And you can save yourself a ton of money by starting to shop at home. Lets start with the clothes. And you say its a great place to start. Look in your closet. Absolutely. It is still summer. You dont need fall clothes at this point. You also probably have a lot of School Supplies that can be recycled. So go through the notebooks, pull out the used pages and use them again. Wash the backpacks. You dont need new ones. Another one is Taxfree Shopping days. What are they . Some are right now. Connecticut right now. But a lot of states have them. You can save a ton of money. Connecticut estimates they lose about 7 million to 10 million in taxes. That adds up in your pocket. The back to school rush tends to be more expensive. Now is the expensive time to buy the fall clothes. Midseptember is better. It means we start sports again, band, whatever you do. That gets expensive. Really expensive. Turbo tax found the average family spends about 700, about 20 of parents spend over a thousand dollars on all of these activities. It doesnt always have to be new equipment. No. Shop used. Play it again sports has locations around the country. You can save 50 on whatever youre buying. Or go online. Go on facebook and google the name of your town and sale. And there are all of these tag sales that run all the time where you can buy a lot of great stuff. Or trade with your neighbors. I know thats something we do. Hockey equipment. We pass it around which is good. Another thing you say, you want to make sure your child is go i think to stick with whatever hobby they have signed up for. Rent before you buy for a season so you know its going to stick. You might have to pay for things that once were free. Hidden costs you might not see coming. There are a lot of School Districts that are under pressure these days and they started to load expenses onto parents. Small things like kleenex but big things like fees for being in the marching band or taking a. T. Courses. You want to know whats coming down the pipe for the year to budget for it now. Just raise your hand and ask about expenses coming your way. Real quick, for the older college kids, ways to save, meal plans and textbooks. Meal plan, dont buy every single meal. Make sure theyre going to use them. If you bout a meal plan, you can usually reduce it. Textbooks, rent, dont buy. Always. Great info, jean. Thank you. Most wonderful time.

There are rules, according to the huffington post. On hugging in general. First of all, questions about hugging in the workplace. The rule one is it says its okay to hug your peers, but never hug people who supervise you. In other words, your boss. Why wouldnt you . Ive done it. Jerry and roper hugging right now. Its unseemly. Dont do that, guys. Really. First of all, i think hugging is hoda is a major, major hugger. Why are you offended by it . Why . I dont want to be hugged by just everybody or anybody. There are certain people that i enjoy a hug by, hug from, but other people im just a little uncomfortable. Okay. The worst kind of hug is a fake hug. Thats the one where you half dont even go in. Might as well just shake a hand. One of the worst things is somebody looks at you and goes, ah, you look like you need a hug. I hate that. That is the worst. You want to go and you look like you need a slap. I dont like that. But i think you can always tell. Sometimes im clear whether its okay to go in for the hug. If you open up your arms and you are like this, im here. Hoda goes like this. Come in here. I usually do. She tries to get this, but she does keep it right within the never hug from behind. Right. Dont surprise people that way. And then they say dont close your eyes or whisper when youre hugging somebody professionally. Professionally . Some of our guests i hug sfwloosh i think its a great compliment when someone tells you smell good. There are nothing sexier than someone whispering close to your ear when they are hugging you. Think about it. Everything works with you. Everything. Dont you think its such a great thing when someone says, like wow. I like it. A lot. If you are young enough to know what that is. They are talking about things that are currently cool according to teenagers. We want the parents to listen up because we want to know if you want to know if you are officially cool, this is what the answers are. Red it asks teens about social media. Teens said the cool things are snap chat, vine, and instagram. You know whats not cool . Theyre already over facebook. Twitter wasnt even mentioned. Facebook is you know what, i think its when the parents discover the thing, like as soon as a parent starts vining, the kids are going to be over it and theyll get the next thing. Stop trying to keep up with your kids. Stopped a long time ago. Beauty. Yes. Having pronounced eyebrows now and talking about them a lot. Thats with teens too. Your brows are so good. I like them. Oh, my god. Are you threading . Did you pluck . Thats what they do. They wax, pluck. Have you seen the threading . I got on the elevator the other day to go to my dentist, and this guy got on with these two huge bags, and i said hello. We were going to the same floor. He is right next door to dr. Larry rosenthal. I said what do you do . He goes im an eyebrow threader. Thats a big thing. He had greatlooking eyebrows. Its harder than you think. The men do he did his brows . Oh, no. Do you have a problem with that, hoed wra . I dont love that. I dont love it. Unless they say you smell good. Abercrombie fitch. I thought they were damaged. Theyre not damaged. Owning raybands. Theyve been around forever. Doc martins and converse sneakers. Nothing is new under the sun. Music and film, you know what they like . Electronic dance music and the disney frozen song. At least this is a song, but i dont want to hear the dance version. I dont like techno. Just the constant bang thats not for me. There are two things that have been combined, obviously. This is let it go and, finally this is a good sign. They think being smart is cool. Yeah. Thats good. That is good. Even though their frontal lobes are not even formed. This is a prankster decided they were going to have some fun with starbucks. They set up a rope line, and they pretended to be a bouncer so when people walked up, they would have to approach the rope line to buy the coffee. Starbucks knew nothing about it.

Oh, my god. You cant come in. Okay. You know what somewhere low tweeted us. She tweeted us after i love you poppy, i love, you love, you love you. She liked it. We did it. Okay. She loved it.

Nothing is funnier than hoda laughing, so im going to try a friday fun where i. Heres the thing. Honestly, i love dogs, and i didnt even think that was funny. Sometimes its like a funeral. I get weird. I dont mean it. It just happens. All right. Lets see what you think of this one. I wouldnt want to read your emails after this. Early one morning a mom went in to wake up her son. The son turned over and whined, why, mom, i dont want to go. The mom it is give me two reasons you dont want to go. The mom says, well, the kids hate me for one, and the teachers hate me too. Thats no reason not to go to school, said the mom. Come on now and get ready. She tried to pull him out of bed. Frustrated, the son quickly sat up in bed and yelled give me two reasons why i should go to school. The mom thought about it a second and said, well, for one, youre 52 years old, and for another, youre the principal. Oh, good. I like that one. That was good. All right.

Well meet the gold family after this. Mary has atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. That puts her at a greater risk of stroke. Rome . Sure before xarelto®, mary took warfarin, which required monthly trips to get her blood tested. But thats history. Back to the museum . Not this time now that her doctor switched her to onceaday xarelto®, mary can leave those monthly trips behind. Domestic flight . Not today like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesnt require regular blood monitoring. So mary is free of that monitoring routine. For patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Spinach . Grazie plus, with no known dietary restrictions, mary can eat the Healthy Foods she likes. 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. Switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary.

He says im wrong, which is a lot. Its a lot of stuff, and its wrong, and then we have to try to get rid of it. Now, often when you think of wropt to generalize, but you think of pawn shops, you think, oh, my god, somebody stole something and took it to the pawn shop and tried to get quick cash for it.

Every person that comes in we take their id, take their thumbprint and send it to the police within 24 hours. Were very is that the law . Is that something you do . Its a highly regulated industry, so by and large thats what most pawn shops are supposed to do. Were very regulated.

A threedayold carton of leftovers, its got to be safe to eat if it smells okay. Maybe not. All those use by and sell by dates have you confisd, youre not alone. Dont worry. Diet editor Madeline Berg strom is here to help you spring clean that refrigerator. Theres so much food waste no nowadays. A couple of things you may not know, but all these labels sell by, use by are voluntarily. Theres nothing mandatory about this except for baby formula. The second is that a lot of this is for quality, not safety. When you see something that is a sell by date, that means thats the last day a supermarket or any retailer can sell something legally. Theyve got to take it off the shelves. Thats to rotate their stuff. The or more confusing use by, and most oftentimes this is for quality, not safety, but there are some limits. You cant keep stuff in your frig and freezer forever. If theres clunks at the bottom of your milk, youre going to be sick. There are limits. Thats what part of our game is today. Is it going to be lets play keep or toss. Now we have some eggs. This says use by today. Today. Use by today. Would you keep . Keep it, definitely. Would i definitely keep it. Youre going to keep it because it just means it will be fine for at least two or three weeks at proper temperature. Two or three weeks. Dont leave the eggs in the egg container, that cute thing thats on the side. Put it in the middle of the frinl. They need to remain cold. A lot of these regulations are all due to proper conditions for your frig. What about having a frig thermometer. Were going to have turkey. That starts to get gel on it. It was purchased six days ago. Definitely keep. I say toss. I have eaten mine six days. Put them over here. They are going to be in the toss. They get a gel on them. Another problem is that you have to ask the deli guy when did they open the big loaf. When you cut it, youll get four days out of it if its fresh. My head hurts. What else . Okay. Yogurt. Now were going to look at yogurt. This says sell by today. Sell by. Sell by toted. Thats a keep. Toss anything milk. Something no, no, no. You can keep it actually for about seven to ten days because it just it says its for optimal taste. That really would be fine. Yogurt. I dont know. Condiments. Take a look. Typically its ketchup. This says this label is to best if used by two months ago. Its just a month if its your pantry. Then its bad. Lets talk about typical leftovers. Chinese food or petitions pizza. This is first eaten four days ago. Im going to toss it. You know what you dont have to . You dont have to, but this is the last day. Three to four days. You know, use your judgment. Its got to have been in the frig. It cant be running around. If it smells, toss it. Thats amazing. If i bought chinese food on monday, i could eat it again on thursday. Up to up to four days. Depends who you bought it from. Thats the outside limit. You can keep this. Im going to put that right on the line. I think thats fair. Thats the last day of use. I know too much about this. Lets take a look. We all use this bagged lettuce. It says best by yesterday. Thats a keep. How long can you keep it . Two days. Two days. No, longer. If you dont mind having gnarly pieces or things might be a little wilted or not as fresh, something about its about quality, not about safety. Sfli used to work in a restaurant, and they would take vats of lettuce, and they would throw it into a vat of water with some kind of chemical, and it eats away the brown stuff, and then you served it. Thats what we did. Where was this restaurant . I cant tell, but thats what we did. That was my job. Quality issues. Not safety issues. Youre not going to get poison. It just looks really gross. Now we have something. We have some ground beef. This is sell by four days ago. Toss it. What does that mean . I dont trust any kind of raw meat. I say toss it. You can really only save this for a day or two. Its highly vulnerable to getting bacteria. Chuck this stuff or freeze it. Chuck the chuck. Now were going to go to the last one. Its on the line, hod. Frozen for six months. Keep it. That will be great. You know, stuff will lose freshness after a while. Freezer burn. Frozen for ten months. Can you keefe it . Ten months . Youre one to talk.
