(loud engine sounds!) what! how's it going? heard you need a ride to school. oh, that's pretty cool! big day at school? i know just the thing to help you get going. power up with new cheerios protein. disgraced los angeles clippers owner donald sterling could face serious financial troubles if the sale of his nba team is blocked. that was the testimony from the chief financial officer of sterling's beverly hills properties. sterling's estranged wife is asking a probate court to let her sell the clippers for $2 billion. sterling's financial adviser says the clippers owner would have to get rid of much of his real estate assets to pay off debt. we're talking about $500 million worth of real estate. sterling was banned from the nba for making racist comments. a miss america contestant is getting a lot of attention on social media by asking people to, quote, show me yours. this is sierra ann sanderson in the miss idaho competition. she's wearing a black bikini with an insulin pump clipped to the side. you can see that on the side of your screen there. she said she didn't wear it just to get publicity. the picture shows her wearing the pump during the interview portion as well. >> it's not just me saying, oh, look, i wear my pump so you can wear yours. wearing my pump and getting all this feedback has shown me that you guys agree that you can be beautiful with an insulin pump. >> she is asking people to show off pictures of themselves wearing insulin pumps on social media using the hash tag show me your pump. it certainly wasn't traditional but one bride had a very special guest walk her down the aisle. listen to the crowd there. that is miami hurricanes mascot sebastian doing the honors. jennifer sullivan's father had passed away nearly two years ago. she wanted to make her entrance special. sullivan is a die hard miami hurricanes fan and met her now-husband at miami law school. she wore a jersey with her dad's nickname on the back, big walt. >> that's very cool. 7 on your side's michael finney is here to answer some questions sent by facebook, twitter and e-mail. jolene e-mailed my credit card has fees and interest for a late payment. what's the rule? >> there are very, very specific rules about this now finally. it's only been a factor about two years which says, first of all, the due date, some squirrely banks used to say the due date, 8:00 a.m. on that day so they would not have to accept any checks. now the rule is by law the due date time has to be 5:00 p.m. or later. so basically if the check got there any time that day, it's good. also, if the due date falls on a weekend, basically a sunday or a holiday, then the due date automatically moves to the next day, the next business day, so generally a monday or a tuesday, depending. so you're okay there if it arrived during that time. where you may have been messed up is if you do it electronically, none of those rules apply. it is when you actually send it. so you don't have any of those grace periods if you pay electronically. >> wow, all right. good to know. >> yeah. >> that's crushing because that's part of the benefit of paying electronically. but anyway. the next question, do cops need to abide by the same no sale calls law? >> when they're on duty and in an official emergency vehicle, so a police cruiser, it goes for firefighters as well, actually it goes for bus drivers, believe it or not. and you're actually allowed to use your phone when driving if you're in the middle of an emergency situation and you're calling an emergency agency. so sheriffs, police or fire department then you can do it too. basically if you see a police officer on the phone talking in the cruiser, he's allowed to do that. >> a twitter user asks why are airlines not liable for items stolen out of luggage? >> oh, no, they're liable. they're liable up to $3300 worth. how they get to that $3300 is a whole different thing, but because they figure if you've owned something for a couple of weeks, it's not worth nearly as much as if it were new. they don't do jewelry, money or electronics. if you notice anything missing, you have to tell them within 24 hours. you don't have to but it's best to tell them within 24 hours. also report it to the tsa because now the tsa goes into 1% of the baggage. so they'll track it too and they'll probably both point a finger at each other, but you need to tell them both and fight it out. >> michael, good to know. thank you. coming up, those wearable gadgets are so popular, but how accurate are they?
