If youre hoping to hike the iconic half dome any time soon, youre going to have to wait. Matt, meredith . Thank you very much. Lets talk now about the growing threat from isis militants and how the u. S. Is going to handle that situation. In an exclusive interview on meet the press, president obama said he will lay out his plan a little later this week. Nbc chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel is in northern iraq. Richard, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. The president said there is no indication of any imminent isis threat to the u. S. But that the threat is growing and must be addressed. The u. S. Military has carried out nearly 150 air strikes in iraq, dropped food and helped refugees, but this morning, isis remains strong and savagely brutal. The Group Released new video of its men, humiliating and executing roughly 200 syrian troops. The next phase is now to start going on some offense. Reporter the president told meet the press he now has a strategy. What i want people to understand, though, is that over the course of months, we are going to be able to not just blunt the momentum of isil reporter he will outline his full plan in a speech on wednesday. On sunday, he gave chuck todd a preview. We are going to systematically degrade their capabilities, were going to shrink the territory that they control. And ultimately were going to defeat them. Reporter thats easier said than done. The plan is to rebuild the iraqi army, which has mostly collapsed even though the u. S. Spent a decade training it. And back ethnic kurdish militias, which the iraqi army doesnt trust. The u. S. Will also try to form a coalition with neighboring Muslim States and breathe life into the moderate opposition in syria, which the administration has largely ignored for years. They plan to do all of this from afar. The notion that the United States should be putting boots on the ground, i think, would be a profound mistake. Reporter u. S. Officials have suggested the plan to defeat isis in syria and iraq could take three years. There are those who say it could take a lot longer. The president keeps talking about pakistan as a model, how u. S. Air strikes and drone strikes in the tribal areas have weakened al qaeda there. But the u. S. Has been doing that in the tribal areas of pakistan for nearly a decade. It seems the u. S. Has become the air force for failed states. Matt . Richard engel in iraq this morning. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press. Chuck, good morning to you. Good morning. The president says no boots on the ground. He does say were going to systematically degrade their capabilities, shrink the territory that they control and ultimately defeat them. How specific is he going to get in terms of his plan on wednesday . I think he wants to get fairly specific. He has to get buyin from congress. He meets with congressional leaders tomorrow. While he claims he doesnt need a full operation to expand for his plan, for his strategy to deal with isis, he does have enough that he wants them to have an up or down vote on it, have a debate on it. I think he will get somewhat specific because he needs boots on the ground, matt. Theyre not going to be american boots, as he pledged on the interview with me. He does need some boots on the ground. Will they be Saudi Arabian boots, kurdish boots . Thats the job of secretary of state john kerry right now. Isis is a sunni Extremist Group that only pose a threat to syria and iraq, but many nations in the middle east. How much help do you think the administration will get . They think theyre going to get a lot of help. Of course, there is a little bit of a credibility issue. Saudis and jordanians have not been happy with this administration. At this point, it does look as if the president s pledges that hes going to do these air strikes, what he has already done in iraq is going to turn the tide a little bit and perhaps the jordanians and saudis, in particular, will come into this coalition. Their goal, matt, is to make this coalition against isis, make it look like the coalition that george h. W. Bush, back in 1990 and 91, the one he put together to go after saddam hussein. They dont want a Small Coalition of two or three nations where its just the United States and a couple of symbolic countries. Chuck todd, thank you very much.

Search teams have spent months searching for that plane. So far, they havent found a single trace of it or the 239 people on board. Nbcs tom costello has been on this story from the very beginning. Tom, good morning to you. A new search off the coast of australia, after spending months thoroughly mapping the ocean floor. This comes down to hard science and a certain amount of guess work. Its a mystery that, for six months, has held the world in spence. No word what went wrong. No word on the lives of the 239 souls on board. Malaysia Airports Holding still no closer to knowing what actually happened. Reporter this morning, theres still frustratingly little to go on for the search of Malaysia Flight 370 and the 239 people on board. For the families, agony. Sarah bajcs partner is still missing. I miss his daily presence. I still feel him in my heart because that will never go away. Reporter disappeared from kuala lumpur to beijing on march 8th. The last communication sounded routine. Malaysian 370, contact ho chi minh. Good night, malaysian 370. Soon after, they stopped their data transmissions and investigators soon discovered evidence that someone turned the plane around and drove it into the remote indian ocean. Suspicion has focused on the captain. Engineers attempt at Satellite Communications or handshakes with the plane believe it went down here somewhere in this arc. But where . Its 23,000 square miles and the ocean is vast and deep. On the air, surface and under water, unmanned submarine found nothing. Now theyve refined the search area again and a new phase of the search is about to begin. We will not give up until we have found whats left of flight mh 370. Reporter for months, dutch and chinese ships have been mapping the oceans floor. Soon theyll be using advanced deep sea Sonar Technology and special sniffers that can detect traces of oil or jet fuel. Aviation experts cant understand why, six months later, not a single piece of wreckage has washed ashore. Its one of the largest mysteries to me. There are so many light objects in the airplane, styrofoam cups, seat cushions themselves. Those things float for a very, very long time. And nothing has washed ashore. The indian ocean is deep, Something Like three miles deep in places. If they ever do find the plane and recover the black boxes, the data on these boxes should still be good and that will hopefully help them solve the mystery of flight 370. Matt .

He took a couple of steps and punched me in the nose and down i went. Reporter the attacker did tied her up and ransacked her home.

Were back at 8 13 with whats trending today. Lets give it a shot right now. On a monday, our first question to consider when youre planning your family meal today, is it more trouble than its worth . We have talked a lot in the past about the benefits of sitting down for a family dinner. We do it in my house. We love it. Its a ritual. Romanticized in shows dating all the way back to leave it to beaver. What about decision advantages . These days, a new study taking a closer look at the stress it places on moms in particular. Some of the pressures may sound familiar. Trying to save time, trying to save money, trying to coordinate everyones schedules and satisfy picky eaters. Researchers saying trying to live up to all those expectations may cause more harm than good when it comes to moms. Last night, i spent all my afternoon cooking up a great meal and luke turns to me, mom, this is yucky. Wasnt it some weird chicken thing . It was good. You bring the family together, in this day and age, everyone is going different ways, its worth it. It may not be easy, but its worth it. We had that with my family growing up. I cherish it. A lot of people feel they have pressure to do it seven days aweek. Sundays are my big cooking days. The problem is all your healthy stuff. You got to start throwing in junk food. Chicken nuggets, you can only do them so much. Moving on, parents will do anything for their kids, whether its planning a family dinner or braving tweens at a concert. Look at the dads in the crowd. A picture really is worth a thousand words. Looking dazed and confused. Some of their images captured. Guessing what these dads are thinking, everything from thinking, this concert is how long . Which one is harry . Or louie. Have you ever done that, taken your kids . I took lela to a drake concert last year. You sent out a great picture. This was the vine. Thats fantastic. I just got my hearing back. So i know youre a huge fan of the boston red sox, right . Major. One of the young fans winning praise this morning for a random act of kindness. 12yearold ryan gets a foul ball. So what does he do with it . He immediately turns around and gives it to the little girl behind him. Shes happy to get the ball. Take a look at her moms priceless reaction, somebody so nice to do that. So sweet. Later a reporter asked ryan why he gave away his big catch. Here is what ryan said . Ive seen people do it before and i thought its a nice thing. Its good thing to make people happy. In return, the tv station broadcasting the game, they gave ryan, not one, but two baseballs. Very cool. So sweet. His strategy worked. Only two . Two for the price of one. Thats whats trending today. Now to a man who is always trending, one of the busiest guys in hollywood, steve harvey. A bestselling author, comedian, radio personality and the host of his own emmy winning talk show returning for season three. Lets say things appear to be heating up. I put a lot of women with men on this show. Weve got four marriages out of this show. I really specialize. But just about dating, man, where are you at with the dating scene . You should know my slogan. Single, bilingual and ready to mingle. [ cheers and applause ] i love this dude right here. If you could have seen the little jockeying for chairs here. Im surprised nobody got hurt. How are you, mr. Harvey . How are you . You call most got knocked to the floor. So back for another season. Excited, and ive got a leadin. Yes, you do. Good luck to you. I need you like a squirrel need nuts right now. Ive got to tell you. Can you believe when you started out this is your third season. Did you ever think you would be here with the emmy and the whole thing . Not really. I didnt never think i would be on daytime tv to begin with. I thought i was going to get one of them late night slots. Im glad i didnt. But that was my ultimate dream. Its a blessing to be here in year three. A lot of shows dont get through the clutter. Im very, very blessed to be one of them. Today, season three is going to be a big one in chicago on the rooftop. Taking the show on the road. Shows like this have to evolve. Do you like that . Do you like the energy when youre on the road . I thought it was hot. You get a superstar like pit bull come on the show, its pretty good. His followers are gorgeous. Its like watching telemundo. Youre also getting more personal, revealing more about your family. Marjory is going to be on on a regular basis. Bringing the cameras to my house which is how i know now that keeping up with the harveys will never happen. Me on camera live at home, not a good look. Uncensored . Very much. Any rules of engagement when your wife starts telling stories about what happens at the house . Have you talked to her and said this is okay, this is not okay. Ive done all that. You cant tell your wife anything. What good does it do . I told her whatnot to say. She goes, yeah, and she says it anyway one of the things youre famous for is offering advice on love and life. It comes very natural to you. Can i ask you to offer a little advice to our friend meredith who starts her first daytime talk show today . Meredith, if shes just meredith, honest and candid. Open it up and just do you. People love you. People dont stop loving you unless you give them a reason. Do you, be candid, honest, open and throw a couple jokes in there and youve got a hit. Thats all it takes, really . Thats all it takes. Youre an author as well. Your new book act like a success, think like a success. What does that mean to you, when you say act like a success, think like a success . For me the whole book is a chance for me to return the favor. Ive scooped a lot of stuff off the ground so you dont have to slide in it. I tell that to my kids that all the time. I scooped enough of this crap off the ground to keep you from sliding in it. I put all this in the book to return to people what theyve given me over my career. Some of these people didnt grow up with parents that sat them at the dining room table and talked about success. I put it all in an easy read book, common, Simple Practice of how to become successful, not just principles, but the howto. All about finding your gift . Youve got to locate that gift. You do your gift every day. I do my gift. But gifts are not just run and jump and sing and dance. Gifts are a lot of other things. When people discover their gift, they discover their purpose. Once you get into your purpose, your life becomes a lot richer, whatever that is. I remember having you on here, steve, before your first season. I said its hard to do a daytime talk show, do you think youll be good at it . You said, i truly believe im going to bring Something Different to the party. Youve lived up to that promise. Thank you, matt. Congratulations on the emmy. You can catch mr. Harveys show weekdays, check your local listings. Lets go meredith. Meredith vieira today. Putting the dogs to the test live on the plaza. Thats coming up. Danielle fishel stole our hearts and now shes shattering myths about life as a celebrity in her new memoir normally this would be cause for concern tales of calamity and relentless awkwardness. Great to have you here. The title rolls right off the tongue, doesnt it . It sure does. Thats how you live your life. Theres been a little bit of awkwardness, some moments that you havent been proud of. I guess what i got, reading the book, is that in some ways stars are just like us. Is that what you wanted people to get . Absolutely. I wanted to dispel the myth that actors or celebrities in general always have it together and tend to put out this image were perfect and leave the house looking great all the time. At least in my case that couldnt be further from the truth. A couple of moments of klutziness in the book that you write about. Speaking of which, i have a new one. What happened . I broke my pinky six weeks ago, running up my stairs, jammed my pinky and now i have this very cute little thing. Looks like a paper clip. This is to hold it straight and i bought pink tape so i could be kind of cute. This is sort of an ongoing theme with you, isnt it . Yeah. I keep wearing heels. Im not sure why. If theres something to trip over, i will trip on it. If theres nothing to trip over, i will still trip. Theres a College Presentation you thought you aced. You walk away from it, you get home and you look in the mirror. What did you see . I had a few minutes before my class started and decided to take a quick power nap in the car and then woke up, didnt even bother to look in the mirror, got up did a presentation in front of my class, went home. My neighbor said, have you been crying . I was like, no, i just had a Great College day and i looked in the mirror and i had mascara all down my face, and pancake syrup in my hair and on my dress. Yes. Just like me. I do that all the time. You hear people call out topanga, having played her in boy meets world now the spinoff Girl Meets World. You felt like she sort of empowered you. Absolutely. As a character goes, i couldnt be more proud to be associated with. Incredibly strong, very, very smart. Seeing her as a mother and getting to play her as a mother is very fun for me. Now in the spinoff Girl Meets World. Yes. Im really excited about it. Theres lessons in life that you feel the show teaches. What does it mean to have such loyal viewers that 15 years later are back to see the show . When boy meets world ended, we had absolutely no idea the impact it would have on fans, and so to see them come out and support Girl Meets World in such droves is great to see. Im very proud of our show. The first day on set did not go as you thought it did. You ended up thinking you were going to be fired. On boy meets world. After i got the role of topanga, it was my first day. I was excited. I thought i was doing a great job. At run through i found out i had a little bit more work to be done. I worked hard and thankfully, it turned out well in the end. You learned the lesson of hard work. Absolutely. And thankfully, my mom helped me. Danielle fisher, normally this would be cause for concern. Major announcement for one a very good morning to you. Its 8 26. State regulators holding a public hearing in san jose today to get input on upcoming pg e rate hikes.

Gas of a different kind being used out there on the bay area roadways. How are we looking . Looks like a lot of folks are using that gasoline. Idling in some spots. Where we had a slow drive westbound. Now, things are a little bit smoother. Look at that. The low clouds and the haze in the area. Not a problem for visibility for drivers. We cant see the bridge itself. It is moving, though. Over in oakland, the slowdown down through downtown.

Off the sidelines pulling back the curtain on the challenges she faced as only the sixth woman to give birth while serving in congress. Revealing the comments made to her by several male colleagues. Senator, good to see you. Good morning, matt. Because of some of what youve written about your colleagues and their comments to you during and after your pregnancy. Some examples, one house member said good thing youre working out because you wouldnt want to get porky. Another colleague had the audacity to say youre even pretty when youre fat and a senator acres guy you admire, squeezed your waist from behind and told you not to lose too much weight because he likes his girls chubby. And you didnt name names. Why . Because its about these challenges we all face. I use these illustrations to show these are challenges women face in the workplace in every career, in every profession. And i want to create a conversation with women about the issues they care about. But you write in the book when you heard these comments you wanted to explode. And you would have liked to have thrown some expletives out. You also write in the book comments about appearance belittle women professionally. We need to start to change it by calling out undercutting remarks and educating our peers. Why didnt you call them out . When youre pregnant, matt, out to here and someone says youre even pretty when youre fat, its crazy for someone to equate pregnancy with being fat. And it was outrageous, but those comments werent the worst. The worst were after i had the baby. The worst were when im just being appointed to be senator and im told by labor leaders and advisers that i cant win a statewide race being heavy. I was literally told you need to be beautiful again to win a statewide race. If you had named names, do you fear a backlash . Not at all. You know how things work in washington and in politics, that you would have been cut off at the knees . Its not about the specifics of any one insult throughout my career. Its about elevating the conversation so women can understand, these are challenges theyre facing in the workplace that are real. We have to be able to talk about it, to have a National Conversation about how women are treated and whether theyre supported in the workplace. Can i say in reading sections of this book, i dont remember a member of congress or the senate, a woman being so candid about some of the things you write in this book. You really pull no punches. You talk a lot about work life balance. You doesnt like the question about can women have it all. Yep. You prefer can they do it all. Yeah. You admit in this book that at times in your life with your marriage and your kids its been really hard. Its hard for everybody, matt. You know, my struggle i have it easy compared to a lot of working moms. You know, my struggles are real. And so just getting the breakfast fed to the kids, making their lunch, getting them out the door on time, getting them to school, picking them up. I was about to go on a National Fox News interview and get a call from the school. It. Heo cant breathe. As a mom, you just drop everything and you race to meet the needs. Imagine the woman who has no flexibility in her job. Imagine the woman stuck on a work site or a woman cleaning these beautiful sets tonight. She has no flexibility. And so my stories, while they are universal and really do share the commonality of our struggles, i have such a different life than a lot of folks because i have some flexibility. What the book is about is asking women to fight for the things that would make their lives better so we can see their full potential in the workplace. People think this book is a way of reintroducing yourself to the public in preparation for a run for the white house. You leave the door open to that . No. Im supporting hillary clinton, 2016. I think shes going to be a great candidate. I really admire her. As i tell in the book, hillary was one of my role models. When i saw her give that speech in china and said womens rights are human rights, i thought im not doing anything. Im pushing paper in a big law firm. Im not fighting for others or making a difference. I remember going to my First Political meeting, standing in the back of the room, shes talking to a roomful of women and said if youre not participating in politics decisions are going to be made every day and if youre not part of those decisions you may not like what they decide. She said your heart had to be in it also. I wasnt referring to 2016, senator. I was referring beyond 2016. No. I feel so blessed to get the job i get to do. I can take on this issue of Sexual Assault in the military or fight for our 9 11 heroes. Create a national debate. Were talking about Sexual Assault on College Campuses right now. Womens voices need to be heard. If i could be part of that, if i could be part of telling their stories, i could change outcomes. The book is all about asking women to be heard because we only have 20 women in the senate, 18 in the house. Whether youre talking about pta meeting or your local community, when women express how they feel about things, when they tell their personal views, it changes the outcomes.

Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a monday morning. Its september 8th, 2014. Im willie geist, along with al roker, natalie morales, tamron hall and a goodlooking crowd outside on the plaza. Good looking and good looking dogs earlier with the agility. How did you guy s fare at the end . Mine gets too crazy. Over the jump and that was about it. Pepper went through the that was a facebook chat. Not to brag. First time on facebook, too. No, no. It was my first facebook chat. What were you chatting about . All kinds of stuff. All kinds of dirt. Strangest question was when will you be replaced . Not. Really . No. But it came from joe scarborough. It was my wife, actually. It was my wife. No, its fun over there. People are really nice. They have all kinds of deep questions. Are you still answering questions . Yes. Im going to try to focus on this show right now. That would be nice. To be continued. We might as well say goodbye to natalie. Pack my bags . Yeah. Because of the royal baby . The royal baby. Part deux. Expecting a second child. Prince george is going to be a big brother. This is exasperating. She does have nine months. This is a brand new situation . Yes. Theyre telling people early . Yes. My guess is springtime in london, that would be great, unless its raining. The palace says the duchess has acute morning sickness, just like in her first pregnancy. Being treated by doctors at kensington palace. The baby is now the fourth in line to the throne after charles, william and george. Where does that leave harry . Hes down to fifth. Got knocked down. Thats what happens. Just relax. I think harry love that is. I do, too. Pressure is off. He can just have fun. Exactly. How fun would it be if he was the king . I think hes okay. Turning 30 this week. Harry is . Yes. Or william . William is. No. Who is turning 30 . Which one . Harry. This is depressing, when i know that yeah. Vat of information this morning. How old is baby george now . One. This dont make no sense. Another one . Got to work fast, you know. Not quite two years apart. Thats right. Thats a good window. Its kind of like women and harr william and harry. Theyre sort of that same age. That little baby cseptor. They need to make a line of baby ceptors. I dont think the duchess has anything to worry about. There is a story this morning called the motherhood penalty versus the fatherhood bonus and it argues its one of the worst career moves a woman can make is to apparently have children. Mothers are less likely to be hired for jobs. Moms also less likely to be paid as much as their male colleagues with the same qualifications. Mens earnings increase more than 6 when they have children while women, however, their earnings go down about 4 each child that they have. So, fathers also more likely to be hired more so than childless men. Is this like that sexist kind of thing, the father is the bredwbre bread winner . Fatherhood maybe grounds some people, makes them work harder ambition, i suppose. I was really surprised by this. If were going to operate under stereotypes, a woman, a mom, more reliable. Right. More consistent versus a guy without kids who might, you know again, if were operating in stereotypes, would be preoccupied with climbing up the corporate ladder. Why are you looking at me when you say all of this . Because youre a dad and youre reliable and all of those things. Dont go there. I will say, christina went in for a job at a major ill just say it, johnson johnson. She was pregnant. She got the job. She was worried about it going in. Are they going to discriminate against me and they said the opposite. She was working on childrens brands. That was a unique case. Its great. We know youre going to be gone for a while in a few months. We respect your time away. In that case, it was an asset. In other companies, different situation. It depends on the company. More companies are providing daycare facilities, flex time for moms. Obviously its on a case by case basis. But a lot of companies dont want to pay for a lot, including maternity leave, you name it. I dont think you can really broad stroke it. I do think there is a situation where you see probably a lot of that in the workplace. Unfortunate. This is interesting. In a lot of the cities, people will be paying attention to this, because theyre busy roadways. Ft. Lauderdale is asking pedestrians to safely cross the road. Step into the crosswalk, make eye contact with the oncoming driver. Then you wave a neon flag. They say this is the safest way to do this. The city put out buckets at one intersection last month. Miami herald reporting, a lot of pedestrians ignored the flags and press the button to turn on flashing lights to stop the drivers. Other cities have tried it, like seattle. They said people were stealing the flags. Kind of odd. Yeah. Dont you just have the little man that turns on when you can walk and when you cant . On street sign. Yeah. I dont know. But a lot of places dont have that, especially smaller towns. Youre supposed to, say up in new york state and massachusetts, people in the crosswalk, drivers are supposed to stop. How safe do you feel . Im going to walk out with a flag. Wait, wait, wait. Eye contact. Eye contact. And the flag. In the air. Thats craze. I they said something about the drivers in ft. Lauderdale, that they had to go this far that theyre not watching and paying close enough attention. With texting and driving, in order to get people to look up and Pay Attention sometimes air horns. Yeah. Im walking out i like that. Something else we like, this is an incredible story, act of kindness from one of the best nfl teams out there these days. Defensive tackle so he can pay for his 4yearold daughters cancer treatment. This story went viral earlier in the month. Bengals told him that he wasnt going to make the squad. But they since resigned him to the practice squad so he can continue to use the nfls Health Insurance policy. He said its like a blessing in disguise for me. As of last week, his daughter, l leyla, had her fourth cancer treatment. Thats phenomenal. Nfl taking a lot of heat lately, rightfully so. But this team has put their best foot forward to. He is on the practice squad. Its a good situation. He doesnt have to travel with the team. He can be in cincinnati with his daughter by her side while she gets this care and hopes to make the full roster as soon as she gets well. Shes adorable. Cutie. Absolutely. Cincinnati bengals jersey now. Go team bengals after that. There you go. Whats going on outside this morning . Well get to this in a second. Breaking situation in phoenix. There are literally dozens of cars swamped. Well show you this in just a second. Dozens of cars swamped out in phoenix. Theyre getting massive rain right now and, as you can see, theyre looking at a live picture from our station in phoenix. People stuck in cars right now. They have a heavy rain situation. These cars kind of came in and you see the reporter doing a live shot right now. Very dangerous situation. Flash flooding has been a big problem there. So, as you can see, Flash Flood Warnings in effect for phoenix right now. And theyre going to continue today because of the heavy showers and thunderstorms that are going on. Weve had monsoonal moisture plus norbert off the pacific coast. Some areas will pick up three inches. Because the ground is already saturated were talking about massive flooding. In fact, you can see right now live on the radar heavy, heavy thunderstorms just sitting right on top of phoenix. This is a very dangerous situation going on. Were going to continue to track this, as this rain just continues to stream up. So, this will be going on all day today. Please, whatever you do, turn around, dont drown. You see high water, do not drive into it. Odds are, you are not going to ma 9 09, good monday morning to you. Im christina lauren. I wanted to show you the radar which is lit up like a krachriss tree. All this activity well out of the bay area as we have a strong westerly flow. And thats going to keep all the thunderstorms out of our area and keep our temperatures nice. As we head throughout the day today, this is what you can expect. Were going to get that sunshine between 10 00 a. M. And noon, then that breeze will build. Your sun will set at about 7 27 this evening. Temperatures comfortable, 76 degrees on the peninsula today. And thats your latest weather. Willie . Doesnt make sense. Al has been waiting all morning to put on that mask because were hanging out with the star of the much anticipated series gotham. Donal logue joins us in a moment. Get away from me to the finish line. In life, its how you get there that matters most. Its important to know the difference. 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. And that i had to take action. So he talked to me about xarelto®. [ male announcer ] 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. [ brian ] 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. You made great time. I found another way. [ male announcer ] 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 xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

Its always tough to watch your kids go off to the first day of school but even more worrisome if they have Food Allergies. A concern for parents and teachers, with the number of children suffering from allergies on the rise. Every three minutes a food allergy sends someone to the emergency room. Its a growing epidemic. Doctors say theres no clear answer as to why. According to the cdc, the number of kids with Food Allergies went up 50 from 1997 to 2011. 15 million americans have Food Allergies. Thats roughly two kids in every classroom. Although your body can have a reaction to almost any food, the biggest culprits are peanuts, tree nuts, almonds and walnuts, dairy, seafood and soy. The risk of death is low but every year 200 people die from allergic reactions from food found in most family kitchens. How do you keep your children safe at school . Madelyn fernstrom is a nutritionist. Were seeing more of these Food Allergies, obviously. If youre sending them off to school, dr. Pyen, what can we do to be prepared . As parents you should definitely be in contact with the school and develop a team that can help to care for your child, talking to the teachers, talking to the School Cafeteria manager to see what menu options may be safe and talking to the nurse to come up with an allergy plan and having epinephrine injections available. You dont want everybody staring at you, looking at you. What things do you have here that can alert others in a subtle way that you have an allergy . Really cool things like bracelets and necklaces and even some temporary tattoos that are fun for kids that dont scare other people. Here behind us, stickers. Theyre really cute. They can be like dog tags for boys and for girls. Interactive medical record can be engraved on some of these that you can set up that in cases of emergency all the medical information will be there. The pin number and login is there. Somebody on facebook, sarah writes to us, my kid sits at the no peanut table almost every day. He is a very social kid. He is getting depressed about it. How can we fix this . Kids are very self conscious about it. This is a no peanut table not a no friend table. This is so easy to fix. Mom can get ahold of any of the playmates and plan a lunch for two or speak to the mom of the nonallergic kids and say here are the things to have. You need to be social. Its really important. People dont know a lot about Food Allergies. Pointing this out and having that child be social is really important. No nuts just means the food, not the socializing. Dr. Pyen, what about other parents, kids that dont have the allergies, what responsibility do they have as they pack their own kids lunch . Its a controversial point. Definitely you want to be aware, especially at play dates when you have other children who may be allergic to foods, finding out what those allergies rrks and what to do in case of an emergency. One of the big issues comes to like birthday parties and cupcakes and stuff. Im bringing cupcakes for my sons birthday tomorrow. What Food Allergies . Should we reach out to other pare parents and find out and just make sure its okay but also the parents that have child who has a food allergy, they have a responsibility as well. Right. I think it would be definitely progressive and aware thing to do if you have a nonallergic child. But definitely as a parent of an allergic child it behooves you to let others know so they can take actions and be safe for everyone. Madelyn fernstrom and dr. Pyen, thank you very much.

If youre finding your way to local orchard, great recipes for you to try. A chef here in new york city. Good morning. How are you . Were great. Did you the dirty work, picked apples for us. Thats the first sign of fall, always better than pork chops and applesauce . Nothing. Pork chops, homemade apple sauce, little apple crisp at the end. What kind of apples do you like . Granmy smith is my favorite. Substitute is honey crisp. Theyre hard, hold their structure better and give a little more of a punch. Start by peeling an apple. Mr. Roker. After that apple is peeled, just there you go. After that is peeled, you will end up with this. Take out the core. Use the melon baller. Right. Okay. Use your muscle. You have to get in there. Joe, dont heckle. Wow whats next . After that, youre going to chop the apple and you end up with this, okay . Thank you. The power of tv magic. We have chopped apples, okay . Add some brown sugar. Now you have to do the work. The whole thing . Cinnamon sticks. Stir it up. You can do that. I can do that. Youre going to simmer this a little while, actually, a long while, half hour. You dont add any liquid . The apples will create the liquid themselves. You have this final product here. When its done mash it . Little bit of mash, okay. And you will reserve and have some apple sauce for later. Love it. Quick, quick pork chop recipe. Its baked pork chop. Spray it with pam and what were going to do is coat it with bread crumbs. Bread crumb mixture is a variety of stuff, paprika, lemon zest, chopped herbs. You dont have to make your own bread crumbs. You can do store bought bread crumbs and doctor it up a little bit. Nice. I like that. Dredge the pork chops right in here. Why do we love the combo of pork chop and apple so much . The nice earthiness of the pork and sweetness of the apple go hand in hand. How long do you bake this . 375 degrees in the oven for 45 minutes. You have your apple sauce here and baked pork chops and then were going to basically just spoon it over. Could you do a bonein pork chop . You could. Dont go too thick with the bonein pork chops. Theyll dry out because they take longer to cook. Quick apple crisp. The same cooking method as the apple sauce. Just not cooked as long. A nice dutch crumble, oats, sugar, little bit of spice. A quick tip is buy some cookie dough. Put it on top and bake it. What . You have an amazing apple crisp. That sounds heavenly. When youre all done and the apple crisp is baked, what better than Vanilla Ice Cream . Could you make the apple crisp without the apple .

It is fun day monday, september 8th. We hope you had a good weekend. We had a busy one, didnt we, hoda . Yes, we did. We fimd lmed we taped special in honor of joan rivers, something that so many of you seemed to enjoy on friday night. We went to her service yesterday at Temple Emanuel and it was quite the tribute to lady joan. You saw a lot of new york luminaries there. There was tons of press. So many people just came out, they were across the street behind barricades watching to see, you know, joans daughter, and grandson. It is nice to see just the outpouring of people who just wanted to say hi or give a flower to her daughter, things like that. There was melissa and cooper. And it was, you know, you wonder what kind of funeral it was going to be. You heard all the things she wanted. She wanted to have all the she wanted to be a big hollywood affair. And it had a lot of really great new yorkers there. What did you think of the service . When i was leaving and tweeting about it, i said i think it was the perfect combination between the profane and the sacred, because joan was like that. We all know the profane part of joan, but there was a sacred there were things that were sacred to her. The person that surprised me the most was howard stern. We didnt know it was announced he was going to be a speaker. He was one of the first ones and he was hysterically funny, but very, very touching too, because he was deeply loved joan. Apparently she had been very, very instrumental in his early success here in new york. And then at the end, one of my favorite parts was hugh jackman can just walk in a room and make me happy he was just perfect. He said, joan, this is for you. You already know that because you asked for it. And he sang a great peter alan song called quiet, please, there is a lady on stage, he sang many, many times. It ended in a standing ovation for joan, in the temple. Put your hands together. And no one wanted to stop clapping. Like the song was over and everyone was still giving her a standing o. The bagpipers came out. The bagpipers. The new York City Police department bagpipers. They were great too. She had a best friend who came up named margy and she got up there with glasses on and she said, joan and i used to try to outfunny each other and here is a couple of examples. I thought this is going to be interesting. I broke my hip and i was on clutches. We went to a broadway show. When we left, i was on clutched and joan was saying, drop your crutches and yell, its a miracle. So i did. And you totally understood why those two were great, great friends. I love the other one. What we shouldnt say. Yeah, no. But it was funny too. And cindy adams was very funny. Everybody was terrific. And totally their own personality. When cindy adams got up there and said a few things that brought down the house, you knew why they were friends too. Yeah. Im just it has been tough months, hasnt it, losing Robin Williams and losing sweet joan. There is a lot less laughter in the world. She would want us to move on and find the humor in the ridiculous. So this is not ridiculous, but this is lovely news. Great news for kate middleton. We have another baby. The spare is on its way. The spare. Theyre expecting their second child. It has been confirmed. The reason it is confirmed is because kate was experiencing morning sickness as she did she had severe. It is called hyper something harry potter would say. Doesnt it . Shes being treated by doctors at kensington palace. Shes home. We wish her shes probably watching right now. We wish her kate, hey she watches us. We wish you all the best. So that would be the fourth in the line. Harry moved harry keeps getting bum pd do down. I dont think harry cares. George is now 13 months old. Hell have to learn how to share. I wish we had more pictures of him. I know. Theyll be less than two years apart. My sister and i were 20 months apart. And you and your sister about three years, yeah. We decided to look into the pros of a small age gap. Sometimes, you know, depending on the gap. So the good things are kids will play well together. Theyre usually more patient. And selfreliant, you have to share more. To this day, the closest person in my life is my best friend is my sister. And my mom used to say to me when she was pregnant, our babys coming pretty soon, our baby. And when the baby came, she would go, lets watch our baby. And she made me such a part of it that i felt like she was also my child too. And the only trouble we ever had was in high school when i was a senior and my sister was a sophomore, and she looked at me one time and the only fight we ever had and she goes, i have a mother, thank you. Yeah. But other than that, it is just amazing, i felt like she was my baby. I think it is important to have someone who can protect you and look out for you. My sister is a few years older than me. I always felt protected in high school when kids picked on me, she always rescued me. Do not mess with that one. Thank god. My brother was like that too. Blessed. Our good friend Meredith Vieira who is on the cover of usa today, the life section, shes starting her new show today and i know that shes got butterflies, first day of school jitters. Shes such a pro. Just going to be just great. She hosted with matt this morning, guys, and in typical Meredith Vieira fashion, this is how the show began. 4 30 this morning, walked in, meredith was already in and in my room, on my table was this wonderful little note that said, hey, censored, your Worst Nightmare is back. We needed to put that little censored on there. She does have a little mouth on her. Yes. Were happy for her. The reason shes so nervous about it, i believe whether it is hugely successful or not, meredith will be the same person afterwards. She just is. She knows who she is. And she doesnt want to let so many people down whose livelihoods depend on meredith is one of those few people in this business, i dont know no matter what your age, no matter what, you want to watch her. I think it will be fun to watch her show today and shes got great guests, shes got a lot of fun. We wish her obviously all the best. Were a little part of that. We shot some stuff for her. Youll see us soon. Yes. You were busy sunday morning before joans service. Yes. The susan g. Komen race in central park, grand marshal of that, and 13,000 people came out. There is team nbc. They were out in full force. Linda, youll see the picture coming up, linda, the ceo of komen, and that is nancy brinkers son there as well. And a bunch of fun people, people always dress all crazy. The next picture shows how crazy. Okay. You understand. So, first of all, i was tolding do something on ohio state, the band, the halftime show. I thought, ohio state, because virginia tech, not rated, played ohio state and won. Is that what you mean . Look what the band did. Lets watch. Theyre doing a tribute to television, right . Yeah, tv. Unbelievable. Oh, my miami vice. No, hawaii 50. Are you kidding . That is really unbelievable. We sped it up, we got to tell you, because it was but thats still very impressive. That was amazing. Have tech won the game. My alma matemater, i want to po out, it is a big win. And now everyone is showing the band. All right. Thats the way it goes. This monday, it is time for favorite things. Mine is a book. A new book. A book called hope for the caregiver by peter rosenberg. Peters wife gracie was one of our early everyone has a story. I think we have broll of it. And she was shes just been through so many operations and peter is her caregiver and shes well, it was actually very funny interview because they were talking about never mind, you can go back and look at it, but dear, dear people. This book, you dont realize how many people out there have completely dedicated their own lives to the care of somebody in their life, that they love. And no greater love is there than you lay down your life for your friends. I really, really recommend this book. It is hope for the caregiver. It is really, really inspirational. How about you, baby . I was watching joan rivers documentary that we both have seen called a piece of work. I decided to watch it again. It is my favorite thing. It tells you everything you want to know about joan. If you have a couple of hours, this beginning scene is so astonishing. Shes taking off her makeup. And putting it on. It is not a scene she cared about in the documentary, but if you have a free couple of hours, download it, watch it, a piece of work. Look at where she is, going into a that says so much about joan too. She just wanted to work. She just you look at her schedule, if you think your schedule is hard, and you take a look at her schedule and what she was able to fit into a day, youll feel incredibly lazy. Yeah. At the age of 81.

If you youve ever run into the supermarket to grab a couple of things and walked out with a cart full, heres why. The Grocery Store can be filled with sales tricks, traps to get you to Linger Longer and spend more money. So here are some smart shopping advice is the editor of all you magazine, we love her, nina willdorff. Theyre trying to trick us . So many ways so get you to spend more money. Were here today to talk about all the ways that you can be smarter in your Grocery Shopping and spend less money. Youre their Worst Nightmare. Before you leave the house there are two apps you should be using to find deals in your neighborhood store. The first one is called grocery pal. This works on android and apple. And the way it works is you type in your zip code, find all of your local stores, and then you just type, you know, click on the store you want to use, and then the type of item. Look, i found a great deal on greek yogurt, ten for 10, great thing about grocery pal, though, that i love is you can then compare to nearby stores and find out whether that deal is the best one, if youre the kind of person that likes to shop around. You can add it to your list and tv. Thats a great one. Great. The other one fovado. It is run by savings. Com. The cool thing about it is as you see here, you want to shop at cvs, you need some charmin ultra strong, anything with a paper clip next to it means that there are also coupons and so not only does it show you the sales price, it will show you the coupon and how you can stack them. You print out the coupon and youre good to go. Thank you. You said something very important, shopping cart strategy. Yes. So two things with your shopping cart. When you get to the store, start with the biggest items. People calculate to fill up your cart. Yes, people calculate the amount that theyre spending based on the fullness of the cart. So start with, like, your big canned good, Paper Products and then add your parierishables onp of it. Youll spend less money on that trip. The second thing is the more time you spend in the Grocery Store, the more you are going to spend, dollarwise. So Grocery Stores are really good at trying to slow you down. In places that are, like, high cost areas like gourmet aisles, cheese, youll find speed bumps you wont notice until like what do you mean . Like on the road. Youll slow down and people spend 17 more money in those areas. Be aware of what is happening. This next technique i like. When they have displays and pair things together. Like here, like is an example of a pyramid display. There are 73 different ways Grocery Stores use interesting displays. Like the end cap, which is the end of the aisle, where there are lots of special things and you think thats a deal, ill buy that extra stuff. The fact of the matter is only 50 of the time are those actual deals. You have to look at the unit price. And most group things together. Like avocado and lime. Youre, like, thats right, i want to make guacamole. In the produce aisle, have apples and caramel and you think what a great idea. The fact is this is a strategy to get you to buy things that you arent necessarily going to need. Be aware this is something they do it with everything. It is a convenience. I think it is too. Who wants to go driving all over the place. If you have the extra money for the caramel, youre good to go. Thank you, nina. All righty. If your phone is ringing, pick it up. Because it might be us. Yes. Were minutes away from surprising our fan of the week. And the education site that can help the students in your house. And you too right after this. And you too right after this.

New school year means new subjects for your children to learn and with that comes a lot of frustration, not only for the kid, but also for the parent. Wouldnt it be nice if you had a little extra help . Here with some of best educational websites and apps for all ages is today digital lifestyle contributor, mario armstrong. Hey, mario. Hey, family. How are you guys . Nice. There is an app for everything. Yes, there is. The first one is about literacy for the young ones. Were talking about ages 3 to 8. Really want to help them with their vocabulary, reading compensation, phonics, spelling, all that good stuff, this is Award Winning site, called learn with homer. It is a lot of fun. You can see here, the first level is going to start to teach me the letter a as in a, the sound. It will ask me to touch the alligator. I dont think we can hear the audio, but it is asking you to touch the alligator and we teach the sound. Thats cool. I can see why that would work. Youre the one doing it. What is cool about this app, they can record their own voice and hear it back too. So there is something called tool kit. Com. Yes. It is a parent tool kit. Lets bring that one up right quick here. I used this. This is something that was done by it is going to refresh and reload in a second here. This is something done by nbc, with pierson. This is a parent tool kit that will help you as a parent really understand all the things that your kids are going to be going through in certain grades. So from prek to high school, everything from nutrition as well as the academics, what they should be eating, what you can expect to get in terms of homework. For example, im in the math section for sixth grade. One of the things youll learn, you should learn there is understanding ratios. Im going to ask you two yes. What is the ratio of the red star to the green star. Three to one. Because it says it right there. I cant read that far. I cant read. I see now. We can also count. I had to pull out my ruler. Wanted to make sure. You get the idea. This is a lot of fun for you is this all standard, like standard throughout the country . Yes, it does match to the core standards and curriculum in school. What i like about it too is it also does health and wellness as well, about nutrition and what youre supposed to be hed ooea next one is cool if you like ice age, the movie. A great way for kids to learn fractions. Anything that is fun works great in this department. This is called splice fractions. You learn matching up shapes. So, the object is to get the mammoth in the lefthand corner to go across the screen. I have to make a way. The little block im going to slice through here for one to one. Ill splice this block one thats two for two. So im matching up the amount of shapes and blocks. You havent seen any fractions yet. No. You dont see fractions until way late ner into the game. The whole idea is to get you into matching up shapes and sizes and then it helps you comprehend better fractions later on. Later on it will show you that was twofourths that was onehalf or oneeighth. Like luminosity for little ones. Does this stuff work . Does this help kids get smarter . There is a lot of different studies that have been out that have been produced. Certain apps are doing a great job. Learn with homer is based on Harvard Research and as well as stanford research. They have taken it a step further. Some of the apps you have to watch. Some are just fun to play and you wonder if you get the educational value. It is not going to hurt you, though. Sometimes the kids come home with homework and, youre like, i dont know how to do it. You can go to tutor. Com. They have tutors Available Online 24 7, professional tutors. A human being . Youll get a human being. Algebra. Dont worry about it.
