Hay dont come back to work until 2 00 this afternoon, leaving just ten hours to find a solution before the government partially shuts down. When they come down, all signs are that the senate will pass back to the house a government funding resolution without any of the addon that the house had. What happens next . Reporter there is one path out of this. That will go back to the house. The house would have to axwrgreo what the senate has said. They would be willing to fund the government partially. Nothing about obama care. That would require the speaker of the house to go against many of the conservatives in his party and say, enough is enough. Right now, no indication hell do that.

His wife is finally able to discuss it now, seven years later. The question people ask is why. I heard from charlie about the loss of our first daughter. In some way, he felt like he was getting back at the lord for the loss we sustain period. Reporter do you believe your husband was mentally ill . On that day, yes. Reporter he laned it out .

And her children are doing so well. Incredible. Thank you, that is some interview. Lets get the weather, sam. My mind is completely abso absorbed in the story. I think well start with the tropics. We have had kind of a less than average season. The total numbers, td11 now. It may seem about right. We have not seen the number of hurricanes we normally would have this season. Thats a good thing.

These days im living with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. At first, i took warfarin, but i wondered, could i up my game . My doctor told me about eliquis. And three Important Reasons to take eliquis instead. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three. Unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any 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. Ive got three Important Reasons to up my game with eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

[ cheers and applause ] great crowd on a monday morning. We have the heat index inside. Hottest stories trepds right now. The week kicking off with larry hackett, the editor of people magazine. The crowd goes wild. You have something to get wild about. The picture of zac efron. Up there many machu picchu. There we go. The end of a long journey for him. It is. We have a harrowing story in the magazine about the drug spiral he was on. The story opens up with a drug party in hollywood, him telling a young person he was up for four days. Going to vegas, not going to bed until 5 00 p. M. Taking adderall to stay awake for a press conference. Was this in the papers . It seems like a surprise. No. He partied secretly. He stayed at friends houses. No photographic evidence. No, no, no. A huge contrast to to the character he played. He was fantastic when he came to my office. Total pro. Real nice guy. Never eyerolling. Seemed completely into it. A close family. It was a shock. Hopefully, it was a short period of time that is now ending. It seems like it is behind him . Not in clubs in toronto. Looked fine. Keep our fingers crossed. Also, could it be back to the future for fergie and Prince Andrew . Is this happening . They have been very friendly since they split in 1996. They live in the same house, right . Its baig house. She speaks highly of him. Back in the summer time, she was unvited to the queens house for the first time in 18 years. This was seen as a signal that theyre taking her back in. When asked things like if theyre going the get married again, she says hes my andsome prince. Three years ago, she got in trouble for selling access to him. Thats right. Thats right. H she didnt go to the wedding. Hes put up with a lot of stuff. He says nothing bad about her. She sort of wink winks. Does he indicate theres a kind of the same. He doesnt throw cold water on it. I think its real romance. Another potential love story. Thank you, amy. Kate upton and maks . The west village late in the week, right . Thursday. One goodlooking couple. Is there anything more to say . They both said no, they were just friends, the first time they were ever shot. Is there more to it . Any reason for them to say theyre not going out . I dont think so. They wanted to see if it was going stick. People dont want to be seen as having a date or two and breaking up. They know what is going on. They know what is happening. They know were going to be here talking about. Sit a declaration of something. Hi, maks, hi, kate. Hints about the new season of glee and how theyll handle the death of cory monteith. The hardest word to say is goodbye. It is a tough one. If any show knows how the deal with this issue, they embrace emotion on this show, right . Singing songs. They know what theyre doing here. It will be, very moving. Theyll move on from there. But it looks like they may address it head on. Not try to sugarcoat it. We can see that coming forward. With all these shows. Zac efron, separating the character from the individual is hard. And the power of the message to the people who love the show. They have an opportunity to make a difference. And a group that is not immune from loss. This age group has to deal with this kind of things. The trick is to not exploit this young mans death to pro mote the show. Happier news. Husband alec baldwin, helping his wife with a little yoga video. You dont think of alec baldwin and yoga. Definitely not. Just kidding. She said, im a very bossy person. I made him do this.

He has calmed down. I like them very much. The yoga is good for him. So is married life. So are you for us. Thank you. Good to be here. Next up on the gma heat inde index. The new phenomenon. Does it make women pregnant . A sophisticated monitor that according to the manufacture picks out the best time to conceive a child with the greatest accuracy. Linsey davis explains how it works. Mostly the heart. Reporter 39yearold sharon is about to become a mom for the first time. She and her husband did it the Old Fashioned way. Kind of. We started trying. Not happening. First month, second, maybe next month. Maybe next month. When it doesnt happen, you get upset. We, i think, decided to get sort of ivf treatments by tend of the summer if it hadnt happened. Reporter but this doctor assured the couple there was nothing wrong with either of them and they should wait a bit longer for ivf. That was fine for sharon. Expensive. Invasive. You have to get shots every day. It takes over your life. I was getting scared about that. Um and one day, doctor morris said, hey, there is something new. Do you want to try it. Reporter the something new is a device called duofertility, recently approved by the fda. The sensor measures your bodys signs, sleep cycles, temperature. It is worn under the arm. It collects data while you sleep. Every couple of days, its uploaded to the company in england. Its analyzed and emailed. Its like a personal trainer with a temperature monitor. And your perm train ir is in england giving you emails and telling you what to do. Reporter it as a 38 success race compared to one cycle of ivf, with a 36 success rate. Dr. Moritz says hes given it to ten parkts, resulting in three pregnancies. Its not a substitute for ivf. Ivf is excellent for people with tubal problems. The tubes are blocked. You will not get pregnant if the tubes are blocked. Reporter it may take at least this part of the guess work out of parenthood. Our thanks to linsey. It costs 700. If it doesnt work after 12 months, it will give you your money back. I think were happier about it than you appear to be. Pros and kons here. Should couples having trouble conceiving get their hopes up with this . Heres what i like about it. This is the device. This little thing goes under your ar pit. And then this connects to your computer and downloads the information to the commuputer. Isnt that sexy . Its tracking biometrics. Your body temperature, behavior. Integrating it. Analyzing it. The british experts weighing in. I think most people know what to do to try to conceive. Think that can be very empowering for a couple who wants some sense of control over a process sthat not so easy to control. On the negative, it wont help male factor infertility. It wont help open blocked tubes. Talk about the placebo effect. 30 of the time. 30 of the time. The placebo effect refers to the fact that when youre given a sham treatment, or just salt water instead of a medication even with this . The mind. The mind. I tell my patients, when youre trying to conceive, you want to relax, do it the oldfashioned way, and try not to make it a science project until you absolutely need to. How closely does this tell you when row should go for it . To the day, to the hour . I like that phrase better. I dont think you have to run out of work. It pinpoints to it a period of several hours to days. And you know what . The bottom line is you want to try to relax. If youre able to get pregnant, your sex will probably not be the same again. You get your money back. The moral is, if you dont succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try again. Doctor, we thank you. Jen ashton.

The hope is fans will still love brinlt just the way she is. I like you very much. Just as you are. Now it is long believed her character is loosely based on fielding herself.

Thanks for getting the jump start with the pink. Looking good. I decided to get ahead of the game. A mammogram is scary for a lot of people. They say they dont have time or its going to hurt. Theyre afraid. Think of the painful things we do every day in the name of beauty. A mammogram . Nothing. Boobs. Breasts. The girls. We all have them. But do we take good care of them .
