thursday morning. i m ann curry and as you just heard, matt has made his way to the frozen tundra of lambeau field. hey, matt, good morning. frozen at about 50 degrees, but it s not so bad. but, yeah, if you re a football fan, this is a shrine. this is cathedral in title town usa, home to the green bay packers. take a look at how empty it looks now. when 70,000 fans pack the stadium, some of them are joining us here this morning since 8:00 last night. we ve got the saints and the packers tonight, the last two super bowl champions and it should be a great game. we ll give you a preview of it. also there s more than just sports in this town. there s history and culture and we ll be telling you about that as well, ann. back to you. you re making a lot of noise. also ahead this morning, here in new york, there are new questions in a serious topic in the deaths of russell armstrong, the the cast member of the real house wives of beverly hills. they called it a suicide, but armstrong s sister is speaking out for the first time about why she believes her brother did not take his own life. we ll hear from her. let s begin with the threat of record flooding and the emergency evacuations ordered overnight in new york state. the weather channel s chris warren is in binghamton, new york, with more on the story. chris, good morning. reporter: good morning to you, ann. here in binghamton, in this county, thousands of people have been evacuated or ordered to evacuate. in pennsylvania more than 100,000 people ordered to evacuate because of the flood g flooding. here in downtown binghamton, look at this. the flood wall is holding back the water, but only by inches right now. you can see it is just a few inches away from flooding downtown binghamton, and i talked to longtime locals who say they have never seen flooding downtown here. now that goes with the fact that five years ago there was record flooding. expecting here to be even higher and that s become this afternoon and we can see downtown binghamton flooded. that would be history. back to you, ann. chris warren, thank you so much. it s not good to see those images. let s bring in al for more on the flooding and what we can expect today. al, tell us some good news. we don t have any and this flooding is from the mid atlantic states all of the way to the northeast. let s start in capital heights, maryland, a suburb of washington, d.c. they picked up about six inches of rain over the last 24 hours and it continues to rain. we see more flooding there. in fact, the state closed nearly a dozen roads because of high water. pennsylvania, lebanon county officials declared a state of emergency. county commissioners saying they re looking for flooding to continue. the susquehanna river will be flooded as well. look at some of these rainfall amounts we picked up in the last 24 hours. some areas picking up a foot of rain. baltimore, six inches and d.c. over five. central park, over four and a half, hassburg, pa, 12 1/3 inches of rain. on the radar, low pressure and the upper level low, and the remnants of lee and nothing to kick it out and so the rain comes from the mid atlantic and all of the way up into new england. we have flash flood warnings and flood watches and flood warnings in effect stretching from part of the delmarva peninsula to upstate new york and parts of new england. we re expecting more rain to come down and we re looking at anywhere from three to five inches of rain throughout central pennsylvania, new jersey, new york and on into new england. so the flooding will continue for at least another 72 hours and those flood levels are going continue to rise on those rivers. matt? all right, al. thank you very much. let s turn to politics. the president addresses congress and the nation tonight talking about creating jobs this as the gop presidential hopefuls took shots at the president and each other in a heated debate last night. nbc s political director and chief white house correspondent chuck todd is in los angeles. good morning to you. good morning, matt. just like with the nfl and the republican primary race, the pre-season is over. rick perry and mitt romney used their first debate clash of the campaign to fight and trade barbs over job creation and healthcare, but it was one issue that no republican six months ago thought would become divisive that did, social security. all of us are committed as a team. whoever the nominee is, we are all for defeating barack obama. reporter: there was no question about the goal, but inside the ronald reagan presidential library with nancy reagan looking on, the former president s 11th commandment to never speak ill of a fellow republican was quickly thrown aside by the two leading candidates. newcomer rick perry and front-runner mitt romney disagreed on who created more jobs. michael dukakis created jobs three times faster than you did, mitt. well, as a matter of fact, george bush and his predecessor created jobs at a faster rate than you did, governor. that s not correct. yeah, it is correct. the issue that s more likely to separate the two for this phase of the campaign, social security. perry maintained the view expressed in his book fed up that it s a ponzi scheme. it is a ponzi scheme to tell our kids that are 25 or 30 years old today you re paying into a program that s going to be there. anybody that s for the status quo with social security today is involved with a monstrous lie to our kids. and it s not right. in the book fed up governor, by any measure social security is a failure. you can t say this to tens of millions of americans who live on social security and those who have lived on it. our nominee has to be someone who has to be committed to abolishing social security, but committed to saving social security. romney s massachusetts health care plan which he had previously called a great opportunity for the country. it was a great opportunity for us as a people to see what will not work and that is an individual mandate in this country. i understand health care pretty darn well having been through what i went through as governor. michele bachmann whose standing in the polls has suffered since perry s entry rarely chose to engage two and stuck to familiar talking points. if we fail to repeal obama care in 2012 it will be with us forever and it will be socialized medicine. john huntsman who has yet to catch fire in the polls tried to insert himself aggressively, challenging the conservative candidates on climate change and evolution. all i am saying is that in order for the republican party to win we can t run from science. reporter: perry disagreed with huntsman, but did offer up a surprising pat on the back to the president. the one thing that i want to say that he did do that i agree with is he maintained the chase and we took out a very bad man in the form of bin laden. i might add that he kept get m gitmo open against the will of his base and i m glad he did that. america s safer for it. reporter: one more point on the economy, we already knew that rick perry was no fan of ben bernanke, but mitt romney and a couple of other candidates also agreed that in 2014 if any of them become president they will not ask ben bernanke to stick around, matt. all right. chuck todd, thank you very much. the president, of course, will address a joint session of congress tonight and unveil his new jobs plan for the nation. bill daly is the president s chief of staff. mr. daly, good morning. good morning, matt. so let s talk about what is new in this jobs proposal tonight. what will the president say that he hasn t said in the years past or he could haven t proposed in the last year or so as unemployment was hovering at 9.1%. matt, the president tonight will announce very innovative programs both for job creation and a way to grow the economy. the american job act which will be introduced next week which the president will speak to tonight are a series of innovative ideas that have shown almost all of them have bipartisan support. many of these programs, matt, are innovative, creative, new ideas put together at a time when the american people believe something must be done by congress. these ideas, some people might say e oh, these ideas some of them have been thought about, talked about, but they are as a package, as an act, a way if congress will act now, a way to help people. that s what the president s committed to do if congress will act. you you have just thrown out and the president has said in the last couple of days these are ideas with a history of bipartisan support and yet mitch mcconnell said in the last day or so that while they will listen politely they don t want to hear idea from the past and they don t want more spending and more borrowing. so it doesn t sound like we re on the verge bipartisan support. matt, no one s talking about borrowing. these will all be paid for and the president will state right up front that these will all be paid for. this is not about creating more debt and those of us like you and i who have done quite well over the economy in the last couple of years ought to pay a little more, but the american people are tired of the rhetoric down here. they re tired of the inaction. congress has been gone now for five weeks. it s time to get back to work for the american people and not just continue this sort of political rhetoric that we hear too often from the american people and they re sick and tired of them. the president will i m sure will continue to be in action now. i sat down with him at the white house. we talked about jobs and the economy. at that time unemployment was 8.9%. right. i want you to listen to what he had to say and i ll get your reaction on the other side. at some point will you say wait a minute, we ve spent this amount of money. we re not seeing the results. we ve got to change course dramatically. look, i m at the start of my administration. one nice thing about the situation i find myself in is that i will be held accountable. i ve got four years. even though how people feel about what happened. a year from now people will see that we re starting to make progress, but there will still be pain throughout. if i don t have this done in three years then it will be a one-term proposition. 8.1% unemployment when he said those words. it s 9.1% now. are those words going to prove prophetic? every person in government has a responsibility and they will be held accountable. the president said it and he knows it every day. no one at the time of the interview had any idea of the economic crisis we would stumble into. we had lost 400 jobs before he became president of the united states. that s not an excuse for anyone. that s not an excuse for congress. it s time for action. this american jobs act that the president will introduce next week will speak to tonight can help the american people if congress acts. they have to do that for the american people, not for the politics that is going in america today. white house chief of staff bill daly. mr. daldaley, thank you so much. we have joe scar borough, the host of nbc s morning joe. hi, joe. good morning. what can the president possibly say to turn around the country and the direction of the country and the poll numbers. the president is in a very difficult spot. people have heard job speeches before, but most americans don t think the president and the republicans are focused on it it. the first two years was a huge debate about health care. this past year we were talking about the deficit. this president will have to say something that jolts america into action and jolts congress into action and he will have to be strong. this is a president whose own base believes is far too weak. he was preempted by the republican debate last night and preempted by the packers tonight. because of that, this is going to be showing at 4:00 on the west coast. meantime, no matter what he says, at least three republicans will not be in the audience including jim demint. right. and one of the republicans say he will opt to hold a twitter town hall during the speech is this disrespectful to the office president, joe? i don t think it s disrespectful. i don t think it s very smart. it s not like the president has gained much traction with the speeches. i think the republicans just like the president have the american people waiting for them to work together. you look at poll after poll after poll, americans have lost confidence in the president. they ve lost confidence republican and congress and they may want to see them working together. that may not excite the base, but that s where middle america is. let s talk about what happened at the gop debate. did rick perry say what he needed to say to maintain his momentum as he is now the leading current candidate. i don t think so. the leading problem will be the social security issue. he keeps calling it a ponzi scheme. if you want to say social security is a ponzi scheme and this is what we need to do to fix it, that s fine, but he doesn t do that. he said it s a ponzi scheme. it s a lie. it does violence to american values. i don t care what primary you re running in, i don t care how powerful the tea party is, that s going to spell problems throughout this election. it is clear that mitt romney is making hay of thattal sxred he was doing it last night. what about the other candidates? to be honest with you so many of the focus was really on these two and on twitter, romney and perry were the trending topic. is this a two-man race at this point? well, it s a two-man race right now, but remember, just a few weeks ago michele bachmann was a hot candidate. early this spring, remember who was at the top of the list? trump and then apprentice comes along. it was sarah palin. there s always mitt romney and somebody is else. the question is does rick perry survive a month or two? i don t think he does. i think mitt romney s people are very happy with where they are. you have a very personal project you re working on involving 9/11. our show, like every show, how will we remember what happened on 9/11. i wrote a song ten years ago. we decided to finish it up and put it to video and it s called reason to believe, and it s hopefully it s moving. we re working with willie geist and operation men to try to help some soldiers coming home. personal project. thank you very much for putting your heart into it. all right. and of course, you can watch president obama s address to congress tonight at 7:00 p.m. eastern here on nbc. and now that deadly shooting at an ihop restaurant in nevada. authorities have released the chilling 911 calls. kristin dahlgren is in carson city this morning. good morning. reporter: good morning, ann. this morning we still don t know a lot about this gunman, what he did in the hours leading up to the shooting how someone with a history of mental problems could have gotten his hands on two assault rifles. we are, however, learning more about his victims. the nevada national guard lost troops here as it did in iraq and afghanistan and today we re learning a lot more about incredible stories of heroism. there s a shooting going on! reporter: days after the deadly shooting, new details that almost take us there. sounds captured in chilling 911 calls. he s shooting at us now! reporter: images of some who died. three national guard troops trying to defend our country, gunned down having breakfast near home. they leave behind families, coworkers and questions. authorities still have no idea why 32-year-old eduardo sencion went on this rampage. i ve known him to be a gentle, kind, giving person. unfortunately it involved military during 9/11 which is very unfortunate timing, but we re all scratching our head. reporter: whatever the motive, it turns out the moments that unveiled such evil, in others inspired incredible acts. it s guns. reporter: the cheney family was just a few feet from the shooting until a good samaritan showed them a way out. how can you thank somebody for saving your children s lives? reporter: quick-thinking kevin carrick insists he did nothing out of the ordinary. no. i don t know what i to me a hero is somebody that can, you know, repel bulleters on jump over tall buildings. reporter: or perhaps stay calm, keeping a family away from a gunman. the humble hero who survived a massacre still left wishing he could have done more. that s what hurts the most. for goodness and kindness to show up in such an evil act. reporter: some other bright spots, three of the seven wounded have now been released from the hospital including one of the other national guard members who was shot and ann, she is expected to make a full recovery. at least some good news in all of this. kristen dahlgren, thank you so much. now a check of the other top stories savannah in. one of the most destructive wildfires in texas history. firefighters say flames are at least 30% contained now after three days of uncontrolled burning. the fire has destroyed nearly 800 homes and left at least two people dead. more than 170 other fires have broken out in texas in the last week, making this the state s costliest wildfire season on record. overseas, tomed libyan leader moammar gadhafi is speaking out from hiding. a new audio message purported to be gadhafi was released this morning. in it he denies reports that he fled to neighboring niger and claims to still be in libya. gadhafi s actual whereabouts remain unknown. gary giordano, the maryland businessman suspected in the disappearance of robyn gardner in aruba will remain in jail through the end of his 60-day detention period. a court rejected his appeal of the detention order. his lawyer spoke outside court saying that giordano is, quote, disappointed and sad. let s get to wall street. cnbc s mandy drury at the new york stock exchange this morning. good morning to you. good morning, savannah. the market had its biggest jump in two weeks yesterday, but today there are some who are taking a wait-and-see approach ahead of the central bank chairman s speech in just how this economy is doing and whether or not they need to be more stimulated and then, you have the big speech tonight by the proz hesident and how he wi give people more jobs. well, they re still a little higher than they were this time last week. back over to you. mandy drury, thank you. oscar-winning

here on a thursday morning in green bay to join us at lambeau field. i m matt lauer out in green bay, wisconsin. ann curry back in studio 1a in new york city. ann, good morning again. good morning once again to you, matt. that s right, a ticket to lambeau field is one of the hardest to get in all of sports so you must be thrilled this morning. let me tell you right now, you talk about tough tickets, this stadium holds about 73,000. but there are 89,000 people on the waiting list for tickets. as a matter of fact, around here when people have a baby, the first call they make is not to their relatives, it s to the packers to get that baby on the waiting list for season tickets. and when you go to a game here by the way, it s only about 50 degrees right now, so not so bad, but this place is known for some severe temperatures. as a matter of fact, the coldest game in nfl history was here on new year s eve back in 1967, the nfl championship. it was dubbed the ice balowl. the temperature minus 13, the windchill minus 48. and by the way, who won? the packers won in dramatic fashion with time running out. what s still considered one of greatest games ever played. we ll have much more on the packers and the love of football here in green bay in a little while. we ll look forward to all of that, matt. thanks so much. and also this morning, we ll have all the noises that bother us, we all have that, but what if there are some sounds that actually annoy you so much they make you fly into a rage? coming up, we ll hear from people who claim to suffer from a mysterious disorder that calls almost every aspect of their lives. we ll begin with the death of the husband of real housewives beverly hills star taylor armstrong. the death was ruled a suicide, but now russell armstrong s sister is claiming her brother did not kill himself. miguel almaguer is in los angeles with the latest on this story. reporter: betwegood morning. while his newly released autopsy declares his death a suicide, his sister says there is no doubt her brother was murdered. i m married to russell armstrong. he s a venture capitalist and investment banker. what s the latest with your little company? reporter: on real housewives of beverly hills, their marriage was seen crumbling. russell and i are so disconnected lately. reporter: reality stars russell and taylor armstrong were in the middle of a divorce when last month his body was found hanging inside this hollywood hills home. russell s wife was there during the 911 call. it s all right, it s all right. it s not all right. oh, my god. reporter: his death would be ruled a suicide. it was his choice. reporter: but russell s sister says it was murder. from the minute i got the call, i knew that it was not suicide. reporter: lori kelso was planning to visit her brother in the days before he died. i wished i had gone, but reporter: she says he would have never left his children behind despite any trouble he may have been in. i don t know if it was something within the marriage. i don t know if it was business. or the show. who knows. reporter: russell was said to be in deep debt before he died. the couple s glitzy glamorous lifestyle, more show than reality. i would say our marriage is about 80% business and 20% romance. reporter: according to an autopsy report released wednesday, russell was depressed due to financial and relationship problems. the coroner s report says there was no sign of foul play. and orange extension cord was found wrapped twice between his neck, his bruised legs between a bench. the founder of the website called the fix says he was trying to broker a deal with his company just days before he tied. that s not the attitude of a man who is thinking of killing himself in a week. reporter: today for russell armstrong s family, shock and grief have turned it questions. they say if the death wasn t suicide, it must have been murder. this morning the lapd says they have no new information that would make them reopen this case, but that s exactly what russell armstrong s family wants. they say they ll hire a private detective to help dig up new information about what they call, quote, the truth behind his death. sounds like a story that will continue. thank you so much. meantime, in italy, amanda knox has scored another key victory in her quest to overturn her murder conviction. lester holt is in perugia this morning. good morning to you. reporter: good morning, ann. this appeals trial has been going on about ten months, but there have been key victories along the way. the next time we see amanda knox in court will be two weeks from tomorrow. her lawyers are hoping the scientific evidence they were able to challenge will carry the day. her composure in court this week hasn t revealed any sense that amanda knox sees freedom is near. but after three days of scientific testimony, much of it poking holes in the process caution s case and a key ruling in her favor, her family is beginning to see the end in sight. there s a number of people that want to be here when the decision is actually rendered, the verdict is rendered. so there will be some plane tickets being purchased today and the rest of the family will be coming over towards the middle of the month. reporter: with its case severely weakened by experts who testified to sloppy evidence collection and who discredited the dna evidence, the prosecution made a bold and last minute request for a new independent analysis. the judge said no. and when we caught up with him later, he said the case is nearly over. we should be finished by the end of september, early october he said. this is the apartment that amanda knox shared with three other room hates and it was from here police found some of the most compelling evidence in the case. evidence that now may be working against the prosecution. after wednesday s ruling, the prosecutor acknowledged she ll have to live with the existing expert finding. but she was much more candid about the state of her case with british journalist nick piza. she said to me that an ill wind was blowing in the case and i certainly got the impression that she thinks she ll be acquitted. reporter: trial watchers brief it is looking better for knox and her former boyfriend. but the knox family is holding its breath. two times we have been hopeful pretrial and the first trial. and both of those we got kicked in the teeth as a result of it. reporter: did you get a chance to talk to amanda? very shortly. i told her that we re hopefully almost there. and to say strong and we ll see her on friday when we get to visit her. reporter: amanda s dad told me he fully expects his daughter to make a declaration to the court when it resumes, a declaration is the right of any defendant under the system here to speak their mind. and he says she s got plenty to say. i bet she does. lester, thank you so much. now let s get a check of the weather from al in green bay. that s right, with some of the packer fans hanging out. you can t argue with that. what s with the belt is this. the championship belt from the super bowl. very nice. let s check your weather and see what s going on. as we look at some of those temperatures and show you what s happen, we have chilly conditions in the new england area. 60s and 70s there. 80s as you get

ever seen. so we know she ll come through with flying colors. we ve heard it s been caught early and her prognosis is terrific. in fact we wanted to let people hear from andrea herself how she made this announcement on her msnbc show that she has wres cancer. let s take a look. i had planned to be hiking in wyoming last week, but instead discovered that i am now among the 1 in 8 women in this country incredibly 1 in 8 who have had breast cancer. mine was discovered during my am screening just a short time ago. luckily for me, i m one of the fortunate ones who discovered it in the earliest stage. it had not ved. and i m already back at work with a terrific prognosis. it s really a moment of great courage for her to say that, guys. she also said for you women out there and for the men who love you, screening matters. do it. and you know, you guys, there are a lot of comments on twitter as a result from people from all different kinds of networks, including from susan at cbs who said andrea mitchell is a hero for her work ethic and drive. cancer should be afraid of her. it s met its match. i think that s pretty much the feeling we all have. absolutely. absolutely true. and

[ male announcer ] each of these photos was taken by someone on the first morning of their retirement. it s the first of more than 6,000 sunrises the average retiree will see. as we re living longer than ever before, prudential s challenge is to help everyone have the retirement income they ll need to enjoy every one of their days. prudential. bring your challenges. back at 8:12. we all have certain things that drive us up a wall, 2000 some, the sleetest noise can cause major anxiety and a lifetime of isolation. they suffer from a mysterious condition that was profiled in this week s new york times. reporter: listen to this. a leaky faucet. ticking clock. hungry dog. every day sounds that most people can i go authorize. but for people who suffer from misophonia, subtle sounds trigger intense rage and nerve-racking anxiety that is hard to dial down. the fear is that i won t control the rage. it s huge, it s physical, it s everything i have turns this to a boiling pot of rage. and i have to talk myself down because this isn t the way you re supposed to live. reporter: for ada, it all started at the dinner table when she was a girl. the sound of her family eating would trigger very adult anger. when i was nine, i remember i wanted so desperately to be close with my mother. but i couldn t stand to be near her physically. because of the sounds that she made. reporter: no matter how loud ada s hatred for certain noises expanded. few in the medical community recognize the condition outright and doctors thought she had post-traumatic stress disorder. she spent years in therapy. what they experience is a mount saint helen eruption of emotions and feelings associated with these sounds. reporter: dr. johnson is an audiologist will portland. she runs and online support forum for i m who think they have misophonia. nearly 2,000 have joined. many of them self diagnosed. when they go around the communities looking for help, they re turned down left and right by the medical providers. they ve never seen anything case like this, they don t know what to make of it. reporter: ada found her best treatment is on which avoidance, eating continuener a separate room from her husband, or making her own noise and screaming to release tension. as more people hear about this little studied condition, ada hopes her story will let others with similar experiences know that they are not crazy. it s almost like the underground is coming out. the community is growing. the truth is i didn t choose this. i can t think my way out of it. and we need help. and it s happening. heidi says she suffers from misophonia and dr. raj is a today contributor. good morning to both of you. your condition you say is when you hear someone chewing, it just causes what in you? it s ban panic, it s rage. you really just want the person to stop. and it s not just chewing, it s loud mouth, open mouth, chewing, chomping, slurping. gum chewing is really difficult. snap, crackle, pop, popcorn, going to a movie theater. but what happens is you just want to stop and you really get an instantaneous fight or flight. so either you want to knock the person s teeth out so they can t chew anymore, which is pretty intense, or run. run as fast as you can. i don t know which has been worse for you, the pain of this, the struggle with this, or the idea that people thought you were crazy. so how relieved are people when they finally realize that there is a family for this, it s a condition, you re not alone? it s just a weight is lifted off you you. because i ve had this since i was about eight or ten. most people get it when they re between 8 and 13. and we ve lived our lives completely isolated believing we re the only person with this issue and not knowing that other people have had it. thank goodness for the enter threat. but just the feeling that, my god, i m crazy, why complaint i be like everybody else, why can t i brush it off. it s really trouble zchl. how can people know that they are 00 not just being annoyed by sounds, but actually have this condition? and what can they do about it? we have toic matt distinction. as understand, just getting slightly distracted or annoyed by a noise which can happen to many of us is different. what heidi is feeling is a really visceral, really strong physical revulsion from a noise where she wants to run away, she might feel rage or anger. and we don t know exactly what s causing it, but there s probably something going on in the way the brain is processing the sound that s affecting the emotional system in our brain. what with k. they can they do, , we don t have a lot of treatments. we re learning who are about every day, but someone needs to study the patients and find out what s going on. and there have been generations of women who have had this. there probably is a genetic component to it. the first step is knowing there are other people that have this, there are support groups on line. heidi has talked about coping strategies that she s employed. it s really about learnin how t live with the disease. i think this is just the beginning on reporting on this. thank you so much for your information. coming up next, we ll head back to green bay and matt will talk about vince lombardi junior. i m phil mickelson, pro golfer. if you have painful, swollen joints, i ve been in your shoes. one day i m on p of the world. the next i m saying. i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i m surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you ve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don t start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you re prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. good job girls. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. that comes from a leaf sweet surprise rue love it s natural, guilt-free no artificiality it won t land on my hips or my thighs [ announcer ] truvia. honestly sweet. let s design a vacation on a bumake it work.edia. see what anandra did? booking her flight and hotel at the same time is a serious money-saving maneuver. book it! major wow factor! where you book matters. expedia. reduces the visible signs of aging. minimizes the look of wrinkles. hydrates. renews. seems like an amazing moisturizer? actually. it s an amazing makeup. introducing revlon age defying with dna advantage. its powerful skincare ingredients and spf 20 help protect skin s dna. 96% of women saw flawless, younger-looking skin in just 2 weeks. new revlon age defying with dna advantage cream makeup. age. defy it! achoo!

reporter: the consummate teacher, he produce the out tbrt in his player, solidifying his ledggend in a town that bleeds football. bart starr playing under lombardi. i learned a tremendous amount about leadership, about demanding more of yourself than you probably ever had done before in your lives because could you sense it, feel it, know it. that s what he was pushing for. and so as a result, i was able to go a great deal. reporter: i owe almost everything to football, lombardi once said. every year the sport he loved so dearly awards the winner of the super bowl the aptly named vince lombardi trophy. we re only hear because we want to win. and when we lose, we re gone.he want to win. and when we lose, we re gone. reporter: dan lauria played the larger than life lombardi so broadway. if we were successful with the play, it would be if the audience left wanting to be better at whatever endeavor in life they were pursuing. reporter: single handedly, coach lombardi changed the world of sports forever. his spirit continues to motivate a new generation. it is a great game. it s a game of leaders. really is amazing to look back. we re joined by vince lombardi are jr. and dan loria. good to see you guys. for all that s been said about your dad, you knew him as a father and you saw the family side of him. a little more complicated. yes, it was. my dad had great qualities to be a coach. he was a perfectionist and he had a temper. great qualities for a coach. not so great as a father. you actually say you were happy you were away at college when he was really building the legendary status. you didn t have to be around it every day. i think it would be tough to keep your feet on the ground with all the hoopla and success. and again, i was pleased to watch it from afar. did you see the show on broadway? oh, yes. did a great job. my dad did other things besides yell, but, no, dan did a great i don t think. and what kind of pressure is that as an actor recreating somebody who everybody knows or at least thinks they have a pretty good idea who he he is? i d like to give you one of those actor answers about how hard it was, but this was one of the ease yers roles for two reasons. one, the nfl, roger goodell was so generous with all the information we needed and actual footage. and the players. all the players. especially big dave robin so that son. they had great stories and wanted to talk about it. this is not typical broadway fare and it was a huge hit. we ran nine months and it was the pipe s play. the best thing for me was about 0% of the people we played for had never seen a play. as a matter of fact, the miami dolphins came and no one told them it was assigned seat and they all sat in the first three rows and nobody wanted to tell them to move. got the packers and saints tonight. might sound like a weird question, about you who are you rooting for?

not really. i don t have memories of him either. i just kind of know him by like pictures and videos. is that hard? yeah. it s kind of hard because they always tell like stories and i don t have stories like that. reporter: their mom, stacey, was skeptical about sending her children away that first summer after their father s death. caitlin wanted to stay home, caitlin wanted to stay close it me. reporter: but caitlin s hesitation and fear didn t last long. you got off the bus and your counselors immediately swooped you you up and said come on, let s go have fun. that was the first time in a really long time that i actually felt comfortable, my local body got warm chills. that was the first week that i don t remember crying. reporter: a relief from the tears as these lost children met others just like them. they were not just the 9/11 kid. they were all the 9/11 kids. so they stood together as a group. brittany when she was seven cried and said but seven year olds aren t supposed to lose their daddy. and she s right. but there were meaplenty of oth at this camp who also lost their daddy. reporter: a decade later, a place rooted in fun has led to a new kind of family. to see campers our very first summer, they were angry, terrified to be living home. but to see the kids just lighting up an just grow and n. to these unbelievable adults who are caring and loving and passionate and all they want to do now is help other kids. reporter: 60 of the original campers are now counselors and mentors. you can really relate to them. my camper s are like us when i first came here, so it s looking at them, seeing how brave and strong that they are. reporter: labeled the kids of 9/11, they are so much more. and they carry on their parents legacy with the hope of making the world a better place. i truly have no idea where i would be without it because you re forced to grow up so fast and you get to come here and you get to kind of let loose. and you don t have to be uptight and you don t have to shut the world out. america s camp was a gift they were given sorry. as a parent, you want to fix everything. and there were so many aspects of 9/11 that i couldn t fix. reporter: tile by tile, they re rebuilding. with loss and hope, together forming a bond for brighter days ahead. like friends until the end. from something bad came something great. and we should mention that the america s camp foundation is a legacy much the twin towers fund. many of the kids are now in college or have graduated and have jobs. so the camp has decided that with the ten year anniversary, its doors will be closing. the kids say they have bitter sweet feeling, but they will of course always stay close like a family. the camp has done its job and these kids can now go on and the relationships will likely last a long time to come. thanks so much, jenna. coming up, much more, but first, this is today on nbc. the toyota concert series on today brought to you by toyota. he is best known for his golden globe winning performance as the angst ridden and obnoxious d. gregory house, and now hugh laurie is showing a different side of himself with the release of his debut blues album called let them talk. good morning to you. very good to be here. great to have you. where does this can team passion for jazz come from? i can t really explain it. it s been with me all my life. i was about ten years old, i had blues on the radio and it was like a thunderbolt. i knew that this music would be with me all my life. but i can t explain it what it is about this music. i know that i come from thousands of miles away, a whole other time, a whole other musical tradition. all kinds of traditions. it s not my music. and yet the first time i heard it, i knew that it was for me. it just spoke to me. it s often jazz comes out of suffering and freedom, the idea of freedom. so something that resonates between all kinds of people. but people sort of resist seeing an artist who is established in one art form move into another. and yet your album has debuted at number two. is it? wow. yes, in britain. are you pinching yourself? i m on another plan either. i m playing with these wonderful musicians who live and breathe this stuff. if me, i m on another planet. i can t believe it s happening. i can t believe i got to meet you and now we ll hear you sink. ladies and gentlemen, hugh laurie. walking down the levee with my head hanging low, looking for my mama, but she ain t here no more baby you don t know, you don t know my mind when you see me halving, laughing just to keep from crying she won t cook my dinner, won t wash my clothes, won t do nothing but walk the road baby, you don t know, you don t know my mind, when you see me laughing, laughing just to keep from crying my breakfast on on on the table, and my coffee getting cold, mama s in the kitchen getting sweet, baby, you don t know, you don t though my mind when you see my laughing, laughing just to keep from crying sometimes i think my baby s too good to die sometimesic she should be buried alive, baby, you don t though my mind when you see me laughing, laughing just to keep from crying my mind when you see me laughing, laughing just to keep from crying i wish i had a nickel, i wish i had a dime, i wish i hadn t given myself a bad old time baby you don t know, you don t know my mind, when you see my laughing, laughing just to keep from crying look at your mom madama, see you gotten dur, you took my money, know you broke and run, baby you don t know, you don t know my mind when you see me laughing, laughing just to keep from crying when you see me laughing, laughing just to keep from crying good morning. it s 8:56 right now. i m laura garcia-cannon. we continue to follow developing news this morning. fbi agents with warrants are searching solyndra headquarters in fremont. the fbi is teaming up with an inspector from the department of energy. they re reportedly searching an area of the plant that makes tubes and panels. the fbi says it does appear the search has something to do with the company s federal loan guarantees. solyndra was given $535 million in low cost federal loans. we have a crew on the scene. we ll bring you more information throughout morning the morni. ng right now, we re going to have a look at the forecast right after this. good morning to you. welcome back. well, we re already in the 50s and 60s now. our temperatures are starting to really climb under full sunshine sunshine in the east and south bay. 69 degrees as a result in san francisco today. 80 in redwood city. about 10 degrees cooler than where we ended up yesterday. you will notice that difference. we re going to warm up a tad as we head through your friday. up 087 by saturday. inland a few isolated that yours. thank you very much. it is 8:58 right now. we ll have another local news update for you in about half an hour. beth! hi. looking good! you ve lost some weight. thanks! you noticed! you know these clothes are too big now, so i m donating them. not going back there again. good for you! how d you do it?

great nudist weather, but tell her about the shrinkage! again, we re talking all about unfortunately the horrific flooding. look at these rainfall totals. so far a little bit more than a foot of rain in harrisburg, half a foot in baltimore, more than five inches in d.c. always built more than 4 1/2 inches in central park. the remnants of lee are spinning around, so the rain is just sitting on top training up and through eastern pennsylvania into interior new york and new england. we ve got flash flood watches, flood watches and warnings in effect stretching all the way from d.c. on up into new england. rainfall amounts one to three inches per hour where these bands just sit on top. we could be looking at anywhere from four is six inches more of rain from richmond, have a are a all the way up to just good morning to you. taking a live look at san francisco. you can see we still have a lot of fog hanging out over the city, but your future cast shows you as we head through 11:00 a.m., it will start 0 push back to sea. a nice second half of the day in the city. temperatures 69 in san francisco. 71 today in oakland. 81 in san jose and 80 up in santa rosa. friday, temperatures climb a touch. then we ll be up to 87 degrees inland on saturday, a much cooler day for outdoor plans inland on sunday, 78 degrees. your latest weather. savannah? today s money is brought to you by bank of america. this morning on today s money, a lesson in numbers. what should 0%, 5% or ev30% mea this your daily life? vera gibsons is here to help us. let s start with your few nums. with 0%, what should that number mean to us? this is the amount of your take home pay that you should ideally owe to your credit card numbers. so in other words, nothing. unfortunately, the amp household has about $16,000 in credit card debt right now. so you really want to make a concerted effort to try to pay that off. and you are not saying don t use your credit card, you re saying don t carry a balance. try not to carry a balance. the next number 5% would be the maximum amount of your take home pay that you should owe to the credit card companies. that s it. p so you really want to try to chip away at this can debt. 0% we should try not to owe, but 5% is the maximum amount you should owe. so there are a couple strategy, you can consolidate your debt, do a balance transfer, but you have to make sure that the balance transfer fee isn t too high and that the conditions are reasonable. our nest number to remember is 15%. and this has to do with our retirement savings? this is the minimumnumber tos 15%. and this has to do with our retirement savings? this is the minimum amount of your gross that you should be allocating specifically towards your retirement. and this is the minimum because it actually presumes that you re in your 30s or have been saving for retirement since the age of 25. so for most of us, that number is actually closer to 20%. if you didn t start until you were in your 30s. and some of us don t. you ll need to replace 100% of your reretirement income to live comfortably in retirement. so 15% about of your take home pay of your gross. goodness, this is difficult. next number, 25%. this has to do with your housing costs. 25% to 28%. the maximum amount that should be allocated to your housing which would be your mortgage, your insurance, your taxes. all of that. if you re above this mark, one way to reduce it would be to come up with a sizable down payment. with you regardless, you have to have good credit. an analysis found that if you have a score of under 620, you re unlikely to get a single loan quote even if you make that sizable down payment of 15% to 25%. so you want to make sure you hit these targets. if you re well above these, then you really need to make a concerted effort to bring that down. what about renters. can we spend more on our rent? i hope you ll say yes because here in new york city, it s a little much. some people spend up to 50% of income on rent. the average ballpark is about 30% of your rent. so $1800 a month in represent assuming you re making 40 times that, which would be $72,000. i m glad you re so between at math. thank you so much for the numbers that are easy to remember. appreciate it. and coming up next, you hear stick to go your diet is all about portion control, but how do you know what the right portion is?

[ agent ] so your policy looks good, is there anything else? why did you buy my husband a falcon? thanks for the falcon. i didn t buy anyone a falcon. sure, you did. you saved us a lot of money on auto insurance. i used that money to buy a falcon. ergo, you bought me a falcon. i should ve got a falcon. most people who switch to state farm save on average about $480. what they do with it, well, that s their business. oh, that explains a lot, actually.

here s the deal, you get one entry per person. here s me all day long. let s see what happens here. look at that baby. come on! oh, look at that. here s the hard part. everybody in the world thinks their baby is the cutest baby in the world. look at that. stop it! that s one of those, remember ann geddes. look at jackson with his hat on. this is going to be very, very tough. you go to our facebook page. and there s an icon that says cutest babies. please click on that icon. right there, it s a circle and we made arrows so you can find it. it s facebook.com/klgandhoda. and follow the instructions. and one entry per family. apparently another survey is out. i sort of agree with this one. most people worry. apparently 85% of what we worry about, never happens anyway. so why do we worry in the first place? you worry because your child is not home and they re driving and that s a legitimate worry. but here s the thing you worry because there are actual facts that happen out there. really, remember three years ago when the kids got in the car crash. you picture it being your child or whatever the deal is. i think it s the difference between a worrier and being concerned. you know. what s the difference? well i think worry is a state of being. people, they re worriers, the minute they wake up until and people that are concerned are people more living in the moment. okay, ten minutes ago they should have been home, now i m concerned. but unfortunately it takes a huge toll on you stresswise and everything else. i don t worry about myself. if something is happening to a family member, close friend, i worry about that. but i don t worry about, i don t think anyone is going to come get me. i don t have that, you don t believe that? i pray. i m a huge believer in the power of prayer. and as a result you re not wasting your time. you re doing something positive. proactive as opposed to being reactive about the fears. be proactive about it. some fears are justified. reece witherspoon found that out. she was jogging along the side of a road in santa monica. and was crossing in one of those crosswalks and she got hit by a driver who was an 84-year-old woman. and she was cited for failing to yeed yield to a pedestrian. even though you re not supposed to jay walk in beverly hills, but you always have to give the pedestrian the right of way. 84 years old. one of the hardest things in the world is for an elderly person to give up their independence. and i remember one of the hardest days for my daddy was when we had to take the keys away from him. it s very difficult. perhaps you know, she s, her i m not sure what happened in that case. because it is weird. i ve been driving before and someone crosses and you re not used to seeing someone walk out in front of you. even though there s a crosswalk and you re supposed to yield. but sometimes that s not what you re thinking. apparently she was going very slowly. the worst is someone is parked right before the crosswalk, so you don t see anybody. and the person is in front of the car and it s too late. anyway, she s fine. we want everybody to know. i love her. i think she s one of those people that everybody likes. gwynneth paltrow and taylor swift. and reece nwitherspoon. and sandra bullock. and oh, by the way, i didn t know this. that s not true. i hope it isn t. not that they re going to have a baby. but that she s with ryan reynolds. i heard that she said both of those things were not true. the baby and ryan reynolds. i read it in another publication. we re going to believe this one. and i hope it s true. they seem like they would be a great match. gwynneth paltrow speaking out on marriage. she s been married to her husband, chris, the singer for eight years and who everybody knows. she released this comment which has raised some people s attention. it was part of an interview in a magazine. here it is life is complicated. wrong! complicated and long. would you read it? go, go. and i know people that i respect and admire and look up to who have had extra marital affairs. i m a great romantic. but i also think you can be a romantic and a raelist. it s like we re flawed. we re human beings and sometimes you make choices that other people are going to judge. which makes us look at her life far more close+gñ than e would have. if she just had said, life s good. i think what she s saying is drew, monogomy is not a natural state. you have to work at that. you said something that i agreed with a lot. you were saying like when you, when you make a choice to get married. you are choosing to have the discipline, and there s something right about having the discipline in your life. because if we all did exactly what we wanted right this second, who knows who would be we d all be that s exactly right. i agree with that every day. when you re 20, you think about how much you change from the time you re 18 to 20 and then think about how much you change from that to when you re 30. it better be somebody that you like very much and have the same values. because once the woops? is gone it will never happen with you. i like it and i want it to stick around. if you re trying to lose weight, breaking news for you. the one diet they said works above all others, it s not even a diet, it s a lifestyle. they said the number one choice here is weight watchers. they say that overweight parents, i mean overweight patients were told by their doctors, weight watchers is the most consistent way to lose weight. you have to answer, there s an authority that you have to go to all the time. there s a buddy system. you know, people and you have to get weighed in usually. you know what s not on the weight watchers diet? freddy bolts. i ve been trying to avoid freddy bolts my entire life. but apparently this is not what you want to avoid. freddy balls. please remember the snl spoof. there s an snl spoof my mother is horrified right now. with alec baldwin and the npr girl. schwetty can we show a little clip? no, we can t, even though it s our own network. anyway, i guess ben and jerry s made, they ve unveiled their snl schwetty balls. how are they? are they juicy? i can t have ice cream, so i can ask, what it tastes like. how are they? fudge-covered rum balls and milk chocolate milk balls, how do you think it tastes? go out and get your schwetty balls fast. it s delicious? radiccio. can we just have a little drink? we went to lambeau field and i understand, i didn t see any saints fans at all. world champions two years-, ago. no, no, no. so there. the new season, hoda, who knows what will happen. wow. you guys know how to mix a drink here. that s good. that s great. it is time for a little song, i think. it s hoda s ipod day. yes, it is. listen. it s the end of summer, and this is kind of a summer song. it s by lmsao. i can t even tell you what that stands for. because we would be bleeped off the air. wonderful. it s a good song. let s play it. wait, wait. shake that! do you feel that? no, i need to go to the ladies room. sorry. all right. here s the kind of music klg likes. and he s with us today, so we re really lucky. it s called talent. hugh laurie is here, he s not only a terrific actor, he s an amazing musician. he s a cutie. you don t expect this kind of bluesy country, coming out of him. but he sings it. he heard it the first time when he was 12 years old and he said it just got into his soul. it s one of the number one songs in the country. it happened. back to this magazine we love so much. we do. that you dised. i didn t diss it. dating more than one person at a time. there was one time in my life that i did that, and it was like, i m not made for that world. you know, it s just too, it s too complicated. is it okay to date more than one. you say dating is complicated enough without multiplying your potential disasters. that, by the way is a great answer. thank you, thank you. it s of course it s okay, as long as everyone involved knows. it depends on what dating is. if dating means being intimate, then you should not date multiple people at once. is dating is going out for dinner and meeting someone else, that s okay. but just be aware that it s going to complicate your life even more than most people s lives are already complicated. i agree with that. i want to give a lot of love to andrea mitchell. she announced she had breast cancer yesterday. instead i discovered that i am now among the one in eight women in this country this andrea mitchell, if you haven t met her, because most of us have seen her on tv. she is one of the kindest you adore her. any time you ask her how she s doing, she asks you how you re doing. i sent her an email and she wrote back, i didn t want to bother you. i m like, are you kidding me? she s one of the kindest, sweetest people. they caught it early. the prognosis is great. it didn t spread. so anyway. we send her our love. all right. one in eight now, isn t it? unbelievable. coming up next, now we re talking about how to stop needless worrying. we ll talk about that. plus, the video that scares me and we get a few laughs. u let s face it, we all, except for me, worry about some things that it s important to note. 85% of what we worry about, never happens, hoda. and those needless worries have a tremendous impact on our kids. what can we do to stop the insanity? author don joseph and nbc.com contributor, robbie ludwig are here with more. that stat, 85% is a shocker. i didn t realize that 85% of what we sweat out isn t really going to happen. it points to how we have a brain that can make up all sorts of stress events, purely in our head. and our imagination. our imagination, we work ourselves up. our brain works ourself up. we get wired to worry. 40% of americans are stressed and worried every day to the extreme. and that means the stress-response is activating nonstop. flooding our body and brains with stress hormones. people go on medication for it. what if you re hard-wired a certain way, robbie and that s just the way you think you are. what s the solution? you can certainly learn how to help yourself to worry less by being aware of what you re worrying about. whether it s based in reality or fantasy. are you responding to something that happened in the past? or your imagination? the news, or circumstances that are going on. and you can say, listen, am i really being realistic? and if not, maybe i need to shift the way i m thinking. and/or take action. that s the best antidote for worry. what can you do to take action? living from simple principles has been shown to rewire your brain. things like having faith. people who pray, wire their brain pretty well. willingness to be more peaceful inside. trusting the process. all of those, the whole set of different values that you begin to live from, begin to galvanize. if you could be more pragmatic. if you re worried about being stuck in traffic, then leave yourself more time. or do you there are things that you can control. and there are things that you have no control over and then you have to decide what kind of attitude are you going to have to help you get through your day. otherwise it robs you of your joy in life. there are people out there that are going, okay, so 85% it s that 15% that does come true. that s why i worry. that same study found that 79% of those people, the 15% that happen, 79% reported they handled it quite well. they resolved the issue. better than they thought. the point is, there s no percentage. there are no percentages in worrying. the reason we worry is we re locked into it. and when we worry chronically, we re flooding our body with these stress hormones. and they kill brain cells, they damage our immune system and they eventually kill us. isn t it also the people you hang around with?

beauty health director and she has some news for you that might gross you out. nice to see you. how are you? i am looking at this makeup bag here and i m kind of horrified already. whose makeup bag is this? mine. guilty. it s a zip-loc bag, there s nothing wrong with that. here s one, it looks sweet. i m almost scared to open this makeup bag. why? here s careful some of the things are open. i see a brush just hanging out in a grimy zip-loc bag. most women and most girls do not clean their makeup brushes. they let the makeup brushes hang out. and then you throw them away. some people do that. so i mean you didn t want to look inside this speck and span, but if you think about it, most women use their makeup brushes, they don t wash them. what should we wash them with? there s some brands that make special brush cleaners and you can use any kind of basic soap. baby sham pew is a popular one. you dip it in some water and dip it in soap and go like this and then you rinse it out. the key with makeup brushes, people put them in a big cup. and the water will drip down and separate your brush from your handle. or you go like this and you mess up your brush. leave it to dry on the side. how long do these things last? it varies, i women that women and girls change their eye makeup every season. just as you toss your toothbrush every season i don t do that. people people toss their toothbrush every season? yes. maybe think about it. if you had an eye infection or any eye issues, you are recontaminating yourself. what is it i heard the other day. who shall remain nameless. borrowed her eyeshadow. it s also important to remember tovmn take your makeupf there are days when women are not capable of doing that. myo[ philosophy is as long you re taking off, i don t care how you do it, make sure you do it. keep a pop near your bed or you re a little more advanced, using the clairifiance. at night? lips? lip products. you should again be tossing them every six months. ideally. if something smells, you should toss it. it s like milk. if it smells, it s ab. consisty changes it s separating, yucky, oozing something strange. look at this. clumpy, clumpy something like that i call it the milk rule. the same reasons you wouldn t drink milk goes to makeup. and then nail tools. the nail salon at home, you have to be so careful. if you get a fungi, it s something that takes three to six months to heal. they are nasty. i don t want to use the w word, wart word, you can get warts from contaminated tools. 85% of it won t happen! better safe than sorry. thank you, you re really sweet. nice to see you. miss perfect. up next, things that keep you from shaken salt. a real-life hugh laurie plays o.e piano and sings and plays w who knew?
