In the meantime the nfls deflategate scandal appears headed to federal court after tom bradys fourgame suspension was upheld by the nfl commissioner Roger Goodell. The ruling containing a bomb shell that tom brady had his cell phone destroyed before he met with fwrartinvestigators. Peter alexander has the latest on this. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Get ready for a court battle. Its not the crime but the cover up. Much of goodells 20page decision focuses on the fact that tom brady deliberately destroyed the cell phone he used throughout the scandal and the league admitted that was tampering with evidence. They call the entire appeals process a sham. The nfls biggest quarterback playing defense. Tom brady teeing off on the leagues decision to uphold his suspension over dfgeflategate calling it disappointing. But brady had the sim card and cell phone destroyed. Ordering his personal assistant to do so on or about march 6, 2015 the very day brady was interviewed by fwrart sinvestigators. That kept Text Messages away from the investigators. The league saying the electronic data could no longer be recovered. Goodell wrote rather than failing to cooperate mr. Brady made a deliberate effort to under mine the investigation and conceal evidence. Bradys camp insists tom was transparent. The Players Union said the league based the suspension on a smoke screen of irrelevant Text Messages instead of admitting that they have all the phone records they asked for. They plan to appeal in federal court on bray tis behalf. Brady maintained his innocence at news conferences. Is tom brady a cheater . I dont believe so. Reporter and in high profile interviews. The facts will come out after the super bowl. How will the facts come out . That will be news to me as well. Reporter the revelation could be tarnish on his golden boy reputation. The people who were already inclined to be against tom brady to presume he was guilty. They have more ammunition. The people on the other side of the coin dont know what to say. Some of his patriots rivals are piling on with opinions. Torrey smith tweeting well you cant say cheaters never win. Bradys next stop likely to be in federal court. The league filed a suit to confirm bradys suspension. Yes, they did. Bob costas of football night in america joins us. Good to see you. Well get into the details but youre a Life Long Football fan. You wake up this morning, do you feel better or worse about the integrity of the game. Depends where you are waking up. Im talking about you. I think they turned a misdemeanor into a federal case. There is no question consciousness of guilt in his press conference destroying the cell phone. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck but guilty of what. This seems like watering down the infield of the Playing Field to slow town a speedy opponent or pine tar on a bat. Its gamesmanship. Its not awful. It became awful because of the way the league over reacted and brady didnt say what he could have said. If you read the 19page report and i know you have i thought this isnt about deflating football. This is about a coverup someone who didnt cooperate, someone who destroyed evidence. Its always the coverup rather than the crime. Why didnt he say, look the equipment people knew i wanted the footballs as at the lowest permissible end of inflation. If they went beyond that i take responsibility for it. I have communicated my preference and i didnt order them to do it. The league fwaif him an out on the Text Messages and emails. They said your lawyer can go through them and hand over to us the ones that are pertinent. The notion that he was toing what would be understandable trying to protect private information, that doesnt apply here. What was the next step . Its going to federal court. If he applies for an injunction fine. The case goes forward. He can play the first four games. If he ultimately loses he could face suspension in the middle of the season. The legal experts i have read weighing in on this say generally speaking a court wont grant an injunction unless they believe you have a good chance to win after its reheard. He has to make the case. What it hinges on isnt whether the evidence would stand up in criminal court. Its whether under article 46 of the agreement between the players and the League Goodell has the right to do it. Whether its the right decision is separate from whether he can uphold the penalty and hear the appeal. Its about process, not merit. And people are comparing it to the Dallas Cowboys and domestic violence. He got four games. Are these comparable . Not even remotely. But the league can say he sat out all but one game last year and was paid. This year it was ten games and an arbitrator reduced it to four. They say it is consistent with penalties for using performance enhancing drugs on the first offense. Stay in new york. Well need you. Ill go to the cot in the back room. We have to start at 7 00 a. M. Unfortunately. Unfortunately yes. Now to natalie with the headlines. A florida man is in custody charged with plotting to set off a backpack bomb at a beach.

And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. New lipton sparkling iced tea. Refreshing tea infused with light, crisp, tiny bubbles.

So you dont have to look much further than her twitter handle to see where she stands on this. Her handle is queen feminist. While the exact shorts arent on jcpenneys website under the career wear there are shorts they sell under career fashion. Jcpenney responded saying jpss tresz code policy for store associates prohibits the wearing of shorts of any length. This applies to both male and female associates. She was in violation of the rules. The rule doesnt target one gender. But it did kick off a huge conversation. We posed the question to you.

When their sun burns became progressively worse and their skin began to blister, she took them to a hospital for treatment. They were air lifted to Shriners Hospital in galveston, texas. Knowing thats pretty serious. It was very upsetting. Reporter its raising questions about who, if anyone is at fault. The mother believes the Day Care Center is responsible.

The Oklahoma Department of Human Services is also conducting an investigation into the incident.

People believe servers take home pay should not depend on peoples moods or generosity. So they are going to abolish tipping and raise the wages of the servers instead. Is this a good idea . I think so. I waited tables 11 days. The only job i ever quit. Hardest job of my life. You have to divide your tips between other staffers. To me it incentivized me to be the best server. To me the tipping made me work harder. What about the kitchen workers . I think the menu prices go up. Its nice if servers had more certainty. I work this many hours, i get this salary. On the other hand, will the salary be as generous as a good night would be . I assume they will put something on the menu saying we pay a higher wage and we encourage you not to tip. If you are still happy with the service, you can tip, i would imagine. Our viewers chimed in. We asked if restaurants should pavers more and abolish tipping. 65 of people said yes, do that. 35 no.

Adding weights for a more well rounded work out and camaraderie for a psychological boost. It is appealing to multiple senses increasing intensity to push individuals to their limits.

Peloton and flyle wheel you will see how well you are doing. So you can compare. Lets move it to home and talk about options there.

Thank you. Time to be honest. How often do we look in the closet and its stuffed with stuff, but nothing to wear . Which clothes ever make it off the hanger . Apparently 20 according to a recent wall street journal article. We are exploring a downsizing trend. Its taking fashion blogs by storm. Its called ap sul wardrobe capsule wardrobes. Good morning. Good morning. I like it in theory. How does it work . This is a process of editing the clothes into a small specific collection that fit you currently, that are appropriate for the season and that are really versatile. Versatility is the most important part. I heard you say small amount of clothing. Lets get to it. How many items . The number isnt necessarily important. Its more about the functionality of the number. We picked 30. You could do 15 50. Lets say 30. There are some items that dont count. Exactly. Things that make the cut are tops bottoms, shoes. No accessories count which is awesome. You can have fun with the accessories. Outer wear and special occasion opportunity count. Give me the ground rules. How to i go about downsizing . First you need to decide what works for your life. What are the pieces that are versatile. Pick a number. 30 works for a lot of women. Pare down the closet. Your closet could probably fit in all the cases. You can donate it sell it and you will have a closet that works for you. What do you think is a smart choice. I have a lot of stuff and emotional attachments. But i might wear it or that was expensive. You have to be cut throat. If you havent worn it in a season or a season before its got to go. You might be attached and this is the hardest part. You cannot shop during that entire season. Whats a season . Fall Spring Summer and winter. Three months no shopping. You are committing to your 30 pieces. I know it sounds crazy. Look how messy this is. You end up with a gorgeous collection of clothes that you are actually going to wear. This is the payoff. You can look. You know everything in the closet is something you like. Saves you time and money. Thats something all women are looking for. I will put you to the test. How can you mix and match. We have three gorgeous models here. The models are in looks exclusively made up of the items here on this table and here on the rack. Three very cute outfits. Well turn them into different outfits. We have a very fun, playful professional look. Well show you how to take it into the weekend. First swap out the shoes. Lose the pumps. Instead opt for ale chael see booty. Comfortable. Versatile. Do my shoes count . Yes. Our break down is ten tops five bottoms, two dresses, five jackets and eight pairs of shoes. Well throw this on her and all of the sudden shes weekend, downtown edgy and cool. Looks adorable. Thank you. Next is kimberly in a pastel preppy look. We want it to go long after labor day. Lose the sandals. We have heels so she looks dressier. Shell give me this sweater which you can repurpose a million ways. And we have a piece every woman should have which is a jean jacket. The shoes are kind of fallish. Exactly. You can wear them with tights. More fashion forward. You will see underneath she has a great played shirt which is essential for fall. Perfect. We are going to drape the jacket. Pass me the sweater. Very cute for fall. Last but not least. Come on down. Here we have rachel. Casual in jeans and a tshirt. Glam shoes with a detail.

We recreate culinary hybrids in trends and foods we see on our Facebook Page and instagram. This is awesome. The best of both worlds. It is a funnel cake and Ice Cream Sandwich. All in one. We have the taste testers down stairs. Delayed gratification. Too late. Its over keep eating. Talk about the ingredients. For the ice cream you need heavy cream, vanilla ice cream, strawberry preserves. For the funnel cakes, egg, sugar, milk baking soda salt powdered sugar. Flavor the ice cream. You are using fresh fruit. This is behind the idea that when you get a funnel cake at the carnival or fair you get slices of strawberries. You can have fun with the fillins. Use blackberry blueberry, nutella, cookie butter. You get a little bit of that and its reminiscent of the funnel cakes on the board walk. Is it hot out there, guys . So hot. They look comfortable. I took an extra one. m sitting on it. To the ice cream i will foldle in heavy whipping cream. This is how i get my baby guns. Dont show off. I whip all day long. You will add ice cream to this one. After a few minutes you will have stiff peeks. It keeps its shape. I will help you out. Because you work so hard to fold in all of the whipping cream gently fold it into the kries cream. Why be gentle . Whats the big deal . The idea is the ice cream consistency is nice and creamy. Sometimes Ice Cream Sandwiches the ice cream is hard. So you take a bite and the ice cream squirts out the side. You will pour it into a freezer safe dish like this. Lined with saran wrap. That will help us later when we cut out the sandwiches. You can help me. Youre going to pop this in the freezer. Overnight. I will neat you around. You can grab the finished one. Put this here. Out comes the finished one. How are you going to cut them . Let it hang out for a minute. Its probably too cold. This is the best part. We are going to make funnel cakes. Ever made one . No. What kind of oil . Hot oil, 350 degrees. If you could help me by adding a little bit of funnel cake batter. The way it works, i dont know if anyone knows it you hold a funnel close it with your finger at the bottom. To help the batter move along, spray it with nonstick cooking spray and carefully drop the batter into the oil. This takes time but you can play with the shape of the funnel. Im going back and forth. You made the batter from scratch. You can also buy batter. Yes. Funnel cake batter is easy. But you can buy it already made at the store which i have no problem with. Then you can get to the fun stuff. If you have kids at home be careful with this part. Exactly. This is what they look like. This is the first part of the funnel cake Ice Cream Sandwich. What dow do in terms of getting the ice cream . Take a biscuit cutter. You can go ahead on that side. Press it downment. This is a perfect carnival treat. My favorite. Use the plastic to help you along. Pop it out. Thats fantastic. Right . You can grab two funnel cakes. Down here. Put that on top. Ice cream top it. And the finishing touch is powdered sugar.

We go back and watch again. Megman trainor is singing one of the songs on the album. When you would get the cartoon section as a kid, smash down your playdoh. It used to come from Long Island Press here in new york. I would out them out and paste them in a loose leaf binder. I discovered they actually sold little collections. Oh my god. Where has this been all my life. You love charles schultz. One of the last interviews he did was with you. What a wonderful man. Love all the likes. Good stuff. All right. Its no secret i did gastric bypass to lose weight. There is a new fda approved medical procedure that uses balloons to help with weight loss. Opportunity require surgery. Lets bring in dr. Azar to explain. Hi guys. How does it work . Like this. This is the stomach. These are two balloons placed in the stomach. How does it work . Its a minimally invasive procedure. They stick a tube into the stomach, inflate two medical air inside . No. Its saline. Sterile saline. They inflate the balloons. It doesnt approximate how closely the balloons take up much more of the volume of the stomach than whats demonstrated here. But the idea is you put something in the stomach, youre taking the place where food normally would be. We are putting in these donut doughnuts doughnuts. Basically its a simple concept. If you have something in your stomach in place of food you will feel fuller and you wont eat as much. Thats the theory. Not to give mixed messages we are using doughnuts as an example. Al said itsle eess also a lifestyle change. The makers of the device make no secret that these people are counseled and its in line with appropriate nutritional counseling and hit. What kind of weight loss are we talk about and who should have this. Who is it for. The people who this is for, adults who have a bmi between 30 and 40. Other procedures like gastric bypass require the bma to be much higher over 40. We capture a few more people like this who have one comorbidity for heart disease. They have to have high cholesterol, diabetes or high blood pressure. Those are candidates for a procedure like this. The procedure doesnt take long. Minimally invasive. They keep it in for six months and take it out. How much weight do they lose . Its a nominal amount. The people who got them lost about 6. 8 of body weight. The control group lost about 3 . Once the balloons come out . Not everybody keeps it off. A fair number of subjects did. This is something in addition to nutritional counseling and things like that. What are the side effects . Common but not life threatening, nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea. The longer the balloons are in could include perforation, ulcers and obstruction. Compared to gastric bypass which is real abdominal surgery, much more significant risk. How does it compare to the lap band . Its a similar idea. The lapband places a band around the top of the stomach creating an illusion of fullness because you cant get as much food in. The similarities are the lapband is also done minimally invasive. Both are reversible. They can be taken out. 25 to 40 failure rate. Its partly because when its loosened or removed people revert back to habits. How much does it cost . Good question. I dont know. In all likelihood if you meet the rite i cant your Insurance Company will probably approve it. Thank you very much. You can leave the doughnuts. We just had funnel cakes. Fascinating. Thank you. I love this story. I saw it this morning and it made me feel good. I thought i would share it with you. There is a great postman in salt lake city. He was out delivering the mail.

The mailman said there are libraries nearby. You can go to the library. He said, well my parents we dont have a car. Cant afford the bus. So i cant go to the library. The mailman was such a nice man. Put it out on facebook asking people to toe nate books saying most kids his age want electronics. You should have seen him beam when he said i can help. His request has gone viral. People from around the world including the uk, india, austria. Im trying to get the name of the mailman. Its ron lynch and the young boy is matthew flores. Sweet young man. A lot of people are sending him books from all over the world. And this story. This story, i cant stop watching the video. Okay. Have you ever caught a brides bouquet at the wedding . Yeah.

I thought did she forget she was holding the baby . I guess. How do you thats a child. Im perplexed by it. They posted the video. Thanks for that. Okay, mr. Roker. Thanks for posting that video. Wow.

Finding someone you trust to look after your kids or aging parents can be stressful. Where do you start . A professor at nyu school of medicine. Tammy gold is a therapist parenting expert and author of secrets of the nanny whiserror and Daya Patterson is a professional gerentologist. Thanks for being with us. We asked you the top qualifications for hiring a caregiver whether looking after young ones or older loves ones. You say confidence, professionalism and the ability to match family needs. This is tough for families. Whether its the little ones or the older ones, how do you find the confidence to say this is the person or the right situation for me . Its tough. You have to take a leap of faith either way. What you want is to feel safe and secure. You want the person to do their job but you want to know they are committed and motivated to do a great job. How do they interact with the family. You can look at that as well. You can ask them questions to see how they would handle a difficult situation. Lets get to specific questions you should be asking. I think you ask a question thats universally important whether it is a child or an older person that the caregiver is taking care of and what it should be. The most important question you can ask is tell me about a day in the life from the minute you start until the minute you end thats similar to our situation. That question will answer everything you need to know. Have they done the job . Do they have good experience . Are they acting in a way thats similar to how you want your family to be treated and you can ask direct specific questions based on the candidates answer. It gleans the Important Information on the howto of if they can really walk the walk and talk the talk. Absolutely. You say thats the way you help determine if that person is the right fit for your family right . You have to do your homework, research, background checks, look at the resume and make the phone calls. Thats right. Verify, verify. If you have done that then it comes down to personality and preference. Your older or much older atultdult knows the personalities they mesh with well. Also, everyone has preferences in life. When those are respected, that comes to the point of dignity andle real true care for the older atult. What about mistakes . Mistakes will happen on the job. How do you know if that person will be able to handle the situation. How important is it to say what would you do if something went wrong . I always ask that. I feel like maybe the person will try to minimize things a little bit. What you are worried about is they will put their job or pride above your loved one. If they say, i wouldnt make a mistake thats concerning. If they i say, say there was a fall or a child swallowed something they werent supposed to. You want that person to say, i will call 911, the doctor, you first. They will take responsibility. And critically important as an employee, you want to seeredirected. Do they take mistakes in stride have motivation to change . They will make mistakes during the trial. They dont know your family. Its how they respond to the error thatle tells you what kind of person they are. Quickly, sometimes there are warning signs of the situation if the fit isnt right for you. What should you look for . All right. Its easy to have a change in medical or health situation. Two of the warning signs are fearfulness and lethargy. Fearfulness could be abusive speech or treatment. Something like theres been a situation in the home they are not looking at. Lethargy can be from a medical condition, from mismanagement a prescription or overthecounter medication. It can be the wrong nutrition or lack of hydration. They are not getting the right care you willsee the signs. Very Important Information. Tomorrow well tell you how to shop for a contractor. Coming up next, a water melon cake and other fun, easy projects with one of youtubes biggest diy stars after this. I sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. What are we missing here, janet .
