Small furry animal. His reaction today, friday, october 4th, 2013. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie. Live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today on a friday morning. Im Savannah Guthrie. Im willie geist along with al roker and Natalie Morales. Matt has the morning off. Al has a busy morning, Severe Weather across the country and a lot of people asking why would the woman killed outside the capitol do what she did yesterday. A lot of questions being asked. Thats the top story this morning. The investigation into what caused a woman to ram a barrier and speed off toward the capitol before being killed by police in front of hundreds of bystanders and tourists and her little girl. Pete williams is on capitol hill with new details on the investigation. Pete, good morning to you. Savannah, good morning. Police say the woman at the center of all of this was well knife known in connecticut with a history of Mental Illness. They discovered indications that she believed she was being stalked by president obama. Reporter police and federal agents began their search for answers at the stamford, connecticut home of the woman driving the car. 34yearold miriam carey, a dental hygienist. She drove into a security barrier at the white house and then took off after striking a secret Service Officer with her car. There was a guy in front of her that did stop it and she hit him and he flew over the hood. Reporter from there she sped up pennsylvania avenue toward the u. S. Capitol about a mile and a half away doing 80 Miles Per Hour at one point. Police and secret Service Officers stopped her car at the foot of the capitol but she jammed it into reverse and took off again as they opened fire. She again led them on a chase around the perimeter of the grounds. Police put the capitol on lock down and rushed to get visitors safely away as the chaos swirls around them. I hear boom, boom, boom as the gunfire is unloaded. Reporter a few minutes later carey crashed her car outside the u. S. Capitol center. She died a short time later. A u. S. Capitol Police Officer was hurt as he was speeding to confront her and hit a barrier in the street. Afterward they discovered her very young daughter was in the car. There was a 1yearold child in the car. One of our officers initially rescued the child and took the child to medical care in the vicinity here. Reporter police and members of congress defended the use of deadly force given she ignored repeated commands to stop. She had delusions. There was some sort of Mental Health issue. All of the Police Officers and secret Service Officers who responded were exempt from the Government Shutdown and required to be on duty, including the two that were injured but because of the shutdown, theyre not being paid. Pete, before i let you go, do you know the whereabouts or the condition of the little girl that was in the car . She was taken to, initially, some medical Treatment Center here and then to a local hospital and examined. They say she was not injured and now she is in social Service Protection and i assume at some point will go back to the family. Pete williams at the capitol this morning. Thank you. Were joined now by two eyewitnesses of the chase. Jennifer and tim arnold. You both from louisville, kentucky. Good morning to you. Good morning. Thank you. So much was shutdown. You went to the capitol. The one place that was open. What did you see . What did you hear . Jennifer, ill start with you. We just gotten off the pedicab and we were paying the gentleman and thats when we saw the black car speeding down pennsylvania avenue and the chase. Shortly thereafter we heard the gunfire and could smell the smoke from it. And tim, you had your two little girls with you. Did you immediately just by instinct, go to the ground or did you hear Police Telling people to get down . Well, when i heard the gunshots i knew what it was, obviously, its pretty distinct and i said get on the ground. Get on the ground and they jumped over a barrier that was there and got in the bushes and i got down on the stairs there. We see a picture of you actually once you were down trying to capture it on your camera. Did you capture anything . You know, i caught the aftermath. You know, funny thing was i had my camera out on the pedicab and i put it away just seconds before all of this happened. Well, jennifer, it must have been absolutely terrifying, especially because you had your two little ones with you. Absolutely. They were crying and shaking and we didnt know if there was a shooter. The police did the shooting. But at some point we were told to get up and run south by various agents. They were about two blocks ahead of us and i was calling my daughter on her cell phone to make sure she had her little sister and we finally did get reunited. Were so glad it turned out okay for you jennifer and tim arnold and sorry your trip to washington didnt turn out too well this week. We wish our best to you. Thank you. As Pete Williams reported a moment ago, federal agents searched the connecticut home of the woman killed outside the capitol. Katy tur is in stamford with more on what were learning about her this morning. Will willie, good morning. There are still some police here, but the major presence is gone. This after 16 hours where this entire area was taped off. One of the buildings was on complete lockdown as federal investigators were inside Miriam Careys apartment trying to figure out what was going on with the mother of a 1yearold girl. Reporter this sprawling 200 unit apartment complex in stamford, connecticut became the focus of a federal investigation. At about 3 30 thursday afternoon 50 residents were evacuated as the fbis bomb squad and hazmat teams descended on miriam car careys home but as of 11 00 p. M. , they still hadnt entered the apartment waiting on a search warrant from d. C. It was the fbi bomb squad, you have ten minutes to get yourself and get out because you probably wont be able to get in for the next nine hours. Reporter neighbors, many that say they didnt know her well describe the mother as normal. Someone youd see in the laundry room. Employed for a year as a dental hygienist. Her former boss said she was an average employee but notice she seemed increasingly stressed over what he calls her unplanned pregnancy. We had a lot of complaints about her from her patients. That shes a dental hygienist and rough. We needed to make a change and let her go. Reporter relatives say carey fell a few years ago and began to suffer mental problems. Other relatives also described postpartum depression after her baby girl was born. According to Law Enforcement sources, some of the relatives live in brooklyn. Careys sister is a retired nypd sergeant. Were told her relatives are cooperating with investigators. They expect to release a statement sometime later today. Katy, thanks. She mentioned a 1yearold involved in all of this. Well talk about the possibility that postpartum depression may have played a role in the case. Thats in the next half hour. A busy day in the weather. Several storm systems youre tracking this morning. Thats right. Four big storms to talk about. Its crazy out here. In our todays top weather, we have winter storm, Tropical Storm karen, Severe Weather in the midwest and crazy heat in the east with santa ana winds in the west. Well go to wyoming where mike seidel has been in the middle of all of this. In casper, they had 10 inches of snow. They usually get 7. 5 in october. They had five last week. It does snow this early in the season. They have plowed and treated the roads. The boulevard is in good shape, but you have to slow down because it is snowing at a good clip. The temperatures are staying below freezing all day long. The Emergency Management office has issued a code red because of the risk of power outages. Trees down on power lines. A heavy and wet snow will cause more power outages. Part of i90 and i25 are shutdown because of wind and winddriven snow. The snow wraps up tonight. Sunshine and back to 60 on monday. Thank you. We are covering Tropical Storm karen. You can see in pensacola, florida, not much going on. We have good news about karen. It is starting to weaken. Lets go back to the big winter storm out west as we go back to the maps and the weather computer. We can show you we are looking at the storm system getting itself together and pushing east. It will intensify. The heavy snow banked around the black hills. Ahead of the system, we will look at Severe Weather. As far as today is concerned, we have winter storm watches and winter storm warnings and blizzard warnings from casper to alliance. Snowfall amounts from 18 to 24 inches of snow right around the black hills. We are also talking about karen. The good news is karen is starting to weaken. We are getting dry air thats being pulled in to karen. What that means is it is 295 miles south of the mouth of the mississippi, 60mileanhour winds and moving northwest at 10. It will move toward the coast and we will see some weakening. Right now, we dont see it becoming a hurricane. That is going to be good news. We will continue to track that. We have two other stories. The crazy heat and Severe Weather in the midwest. Guys . You are busy this morning. It is hot in washington and there is the Government Shutdown. Lots to report on that. The president is saying he will stay in washington instead of traveling to asia next week. President obama canceled the trip because of the partial shutdown that furloughed 800,000 federal workers. We have Nbcs Chuck Todd with the latest this morning. Good morning, natalie. Third time in three years that caused the president to cancel the trip to indonesia. When indonesia is on the itinerary, expect the president to cancel. He did not want to be out of the country while the government is shutdown. Using Government Resources overseas is not a smart move political. Never mind House Republicans are meeting today, perhaps they will come up with a new strategy or tactics to try to end this now or focus on what to do with the debt ceiling. We will see yesterday after the shooting and after prayers were said and congratulations to the Capitol Police were said, both Political Parties went back to the critique and strategies. It looks like today, day four of the shutdown with no end in sight. We will see. Thank you, chuck todd. This sunday on meet the press jack lew and savannah is filling in for david gregory. A jam packed sunday on meet the press. We are getting a look at dash cam video of Police Shootout on the oregon highway. The august incident left the father of three dead and the officer injured. This video is disturbing. We have nbcs Miguel Almaguer with the story. Reporter it started as a routine traffic stop in oregon, but in seconds sir, get back in the car for me. Reporter the exchange became deadly. Investigators say john allen ii opened fire on the state trooper for no apparent reason. Sir there were words exchanged on the side of the freeway. It happened very quickly. Reporter dressed in fatigues, said to be in the army, allen appears to empty his clip. The state trooper, who survived, was amazingly just shot once. Allen took a bullet to the chest, but stayed on his feet. 5326, shots fired. I have been hit in the side. Im okay. Suspect left. Reporter allen was found slumped over his car a half mile away. Also in the vehicle, allens children, 10, 13 and 15, who were not injured. It is upsetting because he was trying to take his children on a road trip. Reporter the case in the dramatic shooting is now closed, but what triggered the gunman may never been known. For today, Miguel Almaguer, nbc news, los angeles. We have Mary Thompson with the latest on the news. Twitter is yet to turn a profit, but it has over 200 million users who send over 500 million tweets a day.

Back to you. Mary thompson, thanks so much. Things got a little squirrely at a golf event in ohio on thursday as the competition was winding down at the president s cup. Lindsey vonn borrowed a squirrel from davis love iii. She put the critter on the back of tiger woods shoulder. He did not seem too amused. He wasnt playing clearly. He did not look too happy.

Lets begin with more on thursdays chaotic scene at the nations capitol and the connecticut mother behind it. Katy tur is with us from stamford once again. Good morning. Good morning. Details are trickling out about her mental state. We can tell you that she suffered a fall years ago. One that precipitated her mental issues. Others relatives, including her mother added that she suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of her 1yearold girl. Police say that 1yearold was found in the back of her car after the melee in d. C. Also her former employer said she became increasingly stressed out over what he calls her unplanned pregnancy, willie. Katie, thanks. We want to get more on all of this with psychologist jennifer hartstien. Jennifer, good morning to you. Good morning. First of all, these are just reports. We dont know what caused this young mother to act this way. Her mother is quoted as saying she was suffering postpartum depression which raises the question would it ever lead to Something Like this. We know its all speculation. Were trying to put pieces together and it could in some cases postpartum depression led mothers to kill their children and do really difficult cull challenging awful things so it does challenge their judgment. He owe in some people. So we have to be aware that that could be an explanation but we dont know. The other report out there, relatives saying she suffered a fall a couple of years ago and started changing after that. What do you make of that . Head trauma does cause brain damage. Especially if its never been treated. We dont know. Did it damage the functioning part, the front part of her brain that might have caused her to have less judgment, more impulsiveness. Have a difficult time making decisions. Did it create other psychological problems. It also could be a reason. Speculation. She was in her early 30s. Were used to seeing situations of young males in their early 20s start to grapple with Mental Illness. Is it possible that theres a kind of Mental Illness that could come on at this particular age. Generally we see signs of it earlier based on conversations had with the family members. That hasnt been the case. Again, who knows . Theyll have to do a psychological autopsy into her past and think about what might have led to this and what signs might have been there. Before i let you go i think everybodys heart is with this 1yearold child. What can be done for her now . What kind of trauma must she have suffered . Shell have the trauma of the chase and losing her mother. Shell need to be surrounded by family and people and rebuild attachment to those people. She has the benefit of age. Shes so young, hopefully that will help her down the road. Jennifer, always good to get your perspective. Thank you. As you both point out were in the early stages of this investigation. We dont know what went wrong. Thank you, jennifer. Lets get a check of the weather from al and the weekend outlook.

Back now at 7 40, Elizabeth Smarts kidnapping ordeal captivated the country more than a decade ago and now she is opening up about the experience and just how she survived. Her new book is called my story. Meredith vieira talked to her exclusively. Nice to see you. You too, willie. Elizabeth smart was 14 years old when she was taken at knife point from her bedroom in utah. Her kidnapper forced her to climb up the mountainside behind her home for hours before leading her into a remote camp and tent. What happened next would shatter a young girls innocent world. Oh my gosh. This is it. This is it. What was here when you got here . Right where were standing there were tarps laid out on the ground and then right here would have been where the tent was set up. What was this place . Elizabeths first chilling clue came from behind the trees. And out of this area walked a woman. She had on long linen robes. Reporter then the strange woman lead her into a tent ordering her to undress. Im begging and crying and just so scared. Reporter elizabeth knew something awful was about to happen. And then he came into the tent. Yes. Reporter as elizabeth sobbed her kidnapper began performing some kind of marriage ceremony. I remember thinking i know what comes after a wedding and that cannot happen to me. That cannot happen. Reporter it didnt seem real. Just a few hours earlier she had been home, safe in her bed. Now, after a climb at knife point, she was trapped somewhere high on a mountain. I remember him forcing me on to the ground, fighting the whole way. And when he was finished, he stood up and i was left alone feeling absolutely broken, absolutely shattered. I was broken beyond repair. You were worthless. I was going to be thrown away. Reporter later he chained her to a tree like a wild animal. Days, weeks, then months of abuse followed. Was there a point, elizabeth, where you shutdown your emotions. There was a point that i stopped crying and its not because i didnt feel pain anymore. Not because i didnt feel sorrow. It was just to keep going. It was just to survive. To live. Reporter she was only 14. But somehow, she summoned a remarkable determination to survive turning terror into triumph and even finding the courage to outwit her captors. You learn to be maybe at the feet of those masters, devious. It was a means to an end. I felt that that was my greatest chance i had at getting home, at being rescued. And as youll see in the special, she figured out the one way to outwit this man by appealing to his ego. Which struck watching her about her strength and poise, even as she returns to this place of horror. I know it was difficult for you to be up there. How does she keep it together. Once you go up there you see how remote it is and the underbrush is so thick. Theres not a chance she could have escaped from that camp site but i was getting emotional. I said does this give you the creeps being back here . She said it doesnt because this place didnt hurt me, Brian David Mitchell hurt me. And i dont think she wants to show emotion particularly crying at this point because it was just it would make him feel that he still has some control over her. She never sheds a tear at all. The only time she gets agitated is if you ask her you had the opportunities to escape, why didnt you . And you went up there and you now you understand why that wasnt a possibility. Totally understand. She say remarkable young woman. Great to see you. You can see elizabeths story here on nbc and Elizabeth Smart will be with us for a live interview on monday. Thank you, willie. What will she do next . The woman that quit her job in spectacular style is with carson in the orange room, right after this. As a working mom of two young boys life could be hectic.

Theres no sign that it wont be just as frustrating and ugly Going Forward but for a brief time everyone here took a serious jolt that halted when this u. S. Complex became a crime scene. Drawn weapons and a frantic foot race away from the danger. We heard the pop, pop, just four or five real quick ones. Chaos swept over the Capitol Grounds where tourists usually roam. Four or five gunshots and then the whole swarm of Police Officer cars came. Reporter blaring like an indoor siren, an emergency order to lock down the capitol and shelter in place. Theres an ambulance that has now responded. Reporter senators not giving speeches but firsthand accounts. They said get down. Get behind this car.

New british investigators on the case arent certain but they do have new leads saying there is new information not previously presented. Fresh substantive material on which to make an appeal. Its substantially different. Its not just a bland can you help us appeal, theres some different material and different understanding. And making that Public Appeal for more information would be the mccanns themselves who made the first appeal six years ago.

And now are examining every single cell phone number that was present in that area of maddies disappearance during that time. Police know what calls were made to what other numbers and where those cell phones travelled and say anyone who was in that area may just be getting a call from police. You can look at this in different ways. Wow, its great they have new information. Then again, what theyre doing is asking the public for help.

St. Francis was a rich young man who 800 years ago renounced his worldly possessions and catholics believe responded to gods call to rebuild his church. Today, pope francis is trying to do that very same thing with the modern church warning it today that it must strip away its worldliness, its greatest threat. Now, pope francis this week met with a group of 8 cardinals and decided that he is going to overhaul the vatican to try and make it more responsive to the 1. 2 million catholics as opposed to being so vatican centric as he calls it.

Do you know what that refers to . 150 Million People use instagram every month around the world. Very good. 55 million photos uploaded daily. 1. 2 billion. Likes every single day. 3. 3 . Age of instagram. 29 age of you. Do you ever sit back and say i cant believe this happened . Every single day. Its really inspiring because we set out to create an app that would make people love sharing their photos with other people and it turned into something much larger than we could have expected. Theres a graveyard of start ups that fizzled and died. Why do you think it worked . What we wanted to focus on solving peoples problems. They wanted to share their photos quickly and they wanted them to be beautiful and we focused on those things and it went well. A lot of people talk about Mark Zuckerberg when they talk about you.

We have also seen with instagram it become part of the news. Documenting the news. Sometimes making news. We saw syrias president joined instagram in the heat of everything going on there. A couple of weeks ago rihanna took a picture with exotic animals. Two people ended up getting arrested. Was it your hope and ambition that it would shape world events and become part of world events . The first day we launched instagram 25,000 people signed up and i said i think weve created something bigger than we think and its been amazing to watch the ride because, like you said, these things start happening and you realize it has a lot more impact. Do you have in your mind what the next big thing is. The next big thing for instagram is discovering exploration. We have 55 million photos added daily and i want to make sure you can discover the photos most relevant to you and your interests. You have accomplished so much.

This comes to us all the way from south korea where an unconventional kind of daycare maybe the norm here. Reporter like many working moms juggling a million and one things.

Once the stuff of Science Fiction theyre in the beta testing phases in korea where the cost of daycare is third highest in the world. It plays, reads and can warn parents with a text if the kids are up to no good. Its the creation of an engineerer who believes it may one day eliminate the need for traditional daycare.

We already use robots in every day life and this is the next thing. Is it far fetched . Als story number one. Savannah, what do you think . Quick thoughts . I feel this one is real. I want one. Im saying its real. Im talking to matt who is watching and we have our decision. All right. Well keep that in mind. Al, story number two. Its a look at an Unusual Company started by three women who wanted to deal with the art of grieving. Reporter robert burch has been creating glass sculptors for years.

So well go up and take up the new orders. Reporter with their individualized glass art pieces. Now, were really 50 50. 50 human, 50 pets, dogs, cats, chimpanzees. Reporter instead of merely storing remains, a loved one can reflect the sun and hold a martini or dangle in a tasteful piece of jewelry. Every other bead has a little bit of my mom and dad together. People will come up to me and ask me who am i wearing . Reporter selling the idea was a challenge. Our kids would laugh. I have it in writing that in the event of my demise my mom is only allowed to turn me into one piece rather than a bunch. Clients embraced it immediately. When my dog died my heart was broken and i wanted something i could have to carey with me or hold on to. Reporter she had two pieces made from the remains of her dog molly. First a blue paperweight. It was beautiful and clear. Reporter then a purple one. I talked to an animal communiqcommun communicator who said her favorite color was purple. Turning grief into beauty. Were all stuck. Voting right now . I think i might change my vote. Were changing votes. I found the testimonials very convincing. Either amazing actresses or thats real. All right. Lets turn to the plaza. You saw both stories. I want you to hold up the sign you think is the story of fiction. Which one do you not believe . The robot nanny . Nobody believes thats a real story. Wow. Okay.

Check out all the designers maxxinistas are scoring. T. J. Maxx. Back now at 8 50 with todays home. An inside look at a mexican getaway for the stars. Its shared by George Clooney and George Gerber and cindy crawford. Good morning. Good to see you. Good morning. Explain this to me a little bit. Theyre the best of friends and have been for many years and they built a compound together, essentially. They did. They decided at first to build one house and then decided that maybe they needed two houses but theyre two sister houses. Very similar, not exactly alike. Lets take a look first at George Clooneys side of the compound. Whats the vibe of the place . Its very clubby and masculine. The lanterns are magical when lit. Each of the two houses has a courtyard and beautiful terrace opening on to a pool overlooking the sea. Were looking at a shot that many people have dreamed of seeing, George Clooneys bedroom. The one right before that. What were we seeing there . That is George Clooneys bedroom with an amazing view of the ocean. Its very masculine and warm and very sophisticated. This is essentially this say party house as you said . Hes a guys guy. He can have his friends come over and stay with him for weeks. He can. Theyre all about family and friends and fun. They go down there to entertain, to bring their friends down. Its a real sanctuary. And randy gerber is the design genius behind it. He is. He likes design and did a terrific job with the houses. Lets look at the randy and cindy side of the place. They talk about feeling in harmony with the setting. I think i know what theyre talking about. Its a marvelous room. It opens to the outside. Almost every room in the house opens to the outside. Theres a courtyard and more color and more family friendly. White fabrics. Built in furniture. Theres Outdoor Dining there. Youve got the pool. You have a beautiful pool and then all you see is ocean. Ocean and palm trees. Its really beautiful. Now, what are the differences, then, if you had to point out a couple between the two sides . Do they have different taste and design. They do. Each house has its own personality. They were designed by a phenomenal mexican architect and it was important to them that they were architecturally important but that the design was different. So georges has a more masculine vibe. Theres a more family vibe in the two atriums. Theres more color in cindy and randys house. A lot of people fantasizing about a weekend at that compound. I had a weekend at that compound and it was fun. You got to go. Was george there. George was not there but cindy and randy were there. Cool photographs. Nice to see you. Nice to see you willie. Lets go over to savannah. Thanks. Thats fun looking at those. Amazing. Why be in the Movie Theater when you have that view. Yeah sometimes it rains. You have a busy weekend in the weather.

He surprised his girlfriend with her dream pinterest wedding. He snuck on to the site and used his girlfriends dream wedding pin board to create the big day. It started when rye i dont know overheard amanda telling a friend they look like models. Amazing couple. Thats a handsome couple. He overheard she wanted to get engaged and married on the same day. He plans the wedding. Uses 200 or so imagines to put it together. Chose the flowers, the decorations, even her dress. Thats gutsy. For a year. But if its on her pinterest. And theres that wanting to get in shape for your wedding too. Yeah, she looks really out of shape. The two of them are really slackers. Okay. So part of what ive gotten to two it twice so i had fun planning two weddings. But you digress. I digress. Your husband is sitting at home going, okay. Part of the fun is the planning of it but because it was all on her pinterest i think its amazing. She planned it. How confident he must be. Well, they seem very happy. I could never pull that off. In june they flew from dallas to miami. He told her they were helping a friend move. Didnt you stop that in college . But that sets up the moment anymore. Moving a friend to getting married. Amazing. Well done, were impressed. Tiger woods was less impressed by his girlfriend lindsey vonn. Why he has a squirrel in his pocket we may never know. Hey, look at my squirrel. Oh she pulls the squirrel out of the pocket. Watch how mad he gets. Tiger doesnt love that. Look at the focus, though, he hardly even looks at it. Get the rat off me. I love how mad he gets at her and then he realizes later hes on camera and hes like oh, cute. Its a squirrel. Oh, were so playful. I love it. Could you find a lemur. I love that theres a squirrel on the golf course. In his panlts. There were moments before. There was cuddling going on. With the squirrel . Well have to find out whats happening on the pga.

This is Tropical Storm karen. 275 miles South Southwest mouth of the mississippi. Were looking at dry air starting to get into this thing so it may not be the big problem that we see but were going to continue to watch this make land fall sunday morning and makes its way into the southeast. But this path could be changing so check of course at the weather channel, weather. Com. You can see rainfall amounts could be up to 8 inch of rain and then weve got a big, big winter storm to talk about thats pushing in ahead of it. Weve got a risk of Severe Weather later today. Behind the system, were talking about anywhere from 12 to 18 inches of snow and the black hills 9 10 on the nose. Good morning. Im meteorologist christina loren. Want to show you live pictures from our chopper. Right now you can see Crystal Clear conditions along the east shore. Part of the reason why its so clear is because it is so windy out there. Weve had wind gusts in excess of 54 miles an hour, so some of the higher elevations, 64 miles an hour strongest gust. That was in richmond. 84 in san jose. Winds will continue to drop off through the afternoon and into the overnight hours. Warmer tomorrow with less wind. Youre going to want to stick around for these. Really . I dont know.

Weve been talking about miley cyrus lately, how about britney spears. Okay. Just a change of tune. She claims she had to tone down her latest video because people around the shoot wanted her to be too sexy and she said no way. This is toned down, i guess. Thats really toned down. It aired on thursday on bostons 103. 3. Britney admits while the final version of the video is sexy she demanded that some of the early footage be cut out. Thats what she said. We showed way more skin and did way more stuff for the video than what is actually there. I cut out half the video because i am a mother and i have children and its hard to play sexy mom while youre being a pop star as well. So in some sense are they pushing you further than you want to go and you sit in the editing room and you say that has to go. Thats how its all lined up. Yes. Yes. Okay. I think part of what she is saying there is now that shes a mom she feels differently about video shoots. Instant mom. Did a little stork drop a baby . She also did in this interview which i appreciated, im glad she said it, she said she does wish for the way it used to be when you wore one outfit and you danced the whole video and theres was some kind of for britney to then want to go to a pure time, you know what i mean i think to a certain extent also that everything has become so overproduced and pushed, the envelope keeps getting pushed. I mean sounds like she wants it both ways. Shes a young mom. I mean, those babies are so young. We do have a statement, britneys father and her manager said britney is never pressured into anything. She reviews all creative and for her work b word video. I like that there. Video she is being a mom. She says theres a lot of sex put into what we do in music videos. Its not like the finished product is not sexy. Theres a lot going on there. Dont you feel like nowadays, as we see with miley cyrus and the wrecking ball stuff, this generation of kids they feel they have to push that envelope in order to be relevant or to appeal to this generation . I dont know. No. Everybody is always trying to keep up. Think of madonna with all of her videos in the past. They were pretty out there. I think there is you know, theyre just able to go farther and farther and its i mean, i get it. Its been going on for a long time. Yesterday we said theres going to be a day where right around the corner somebody is going to be naked in their video. Its happening already. And asleep.

So when i have this stuck in my teeth will somebody tell me. How do these work . Im using a spoon. I eat my lunch and then what if you want to clean it, you dont have a cap for your pen.

Theyre saying summer of 2015. Summer of 2015. Well wait for that one. Lets get to our photo of the week. Gwyneth paltrow joined instag m instagram. She has a picture of her and jason wu. Over 6,000 followers already. People love to see her. Shes a beautiful woman and she loves social media. She doesnt tweet as much but maybe shell instagram. Shell probably instagram a lot more. Do you do a lot of selfies . No, im not a selfie. No selfie . No. Some privately maybe. My husband. But im not going to put them on twitter. Really . Wow. We broke through something. This is new territory. Theres so much you dont know about me. Do you have instagram . I dont. I have twitter. Well, i have them all but im nervous about getting called out on twitter. I keep it monitored. Nice on twitter . Not nice. Just careful. We got to get an instagram. Well talk later. Moving on. Lets get to this miley sinead back and forth. She says dont let the music business prostitute you. Those are her words and miley tweets back and says lets talk. Is that what she said . Well, she tweets back. Miley responded to sinead saying she is busy hosting snl and then she tweeted again and said i dont have time to write you an open miley basically said that she is busy doing snl and then she wrote another tweet saying if youd like to sit down and talk, let me know in another open letter. Kind of jabbing at her even though she did a video kind of giving paying respect to sinead oconnor. Nobody was talking about her before but now she is getting in a few but i think sinead is just saying a lot of what everybody is feeling. They want her to tone down. They want miley to calm down a little bit. Everybody is tired of it. You wonder why she has taken an interest in this to write open letters about it. Its that thing. If you really do want to have an impact on someone personally just call them yourself. If its a letter, send it to them. Exactly. But put her into the limelight and i think miley is aware of that so she is jabbing at her a little bit. And shes going to be on snl so now she can mess with her on snl. Miley is on snl saturday and here monday and interview with a concert with us. Thank you a. J. Great to see you. We need to break so we can check out the photos she is talking about.

And School Nights turn into grands mini pizza nights. Pillsbury grands biscuits. Make dinner pop if youre in the market for a new home theres a lot of myths and misconceptions when it comes to buying. We called in the experts to help you out. Shes the personal finance contributor for the street. Com and jay is a real estate agent. Youll read a statement and well guess if its a buy meaning its fact or bust because its fiction. Go ahead. The first we have, your credit score is the single most important factor when applying for a mortgage. Im staying there on bust. Im saying buy. Oh, good. Well, so its actually a bust. There are lots of different factors that go into determining whether or not you get a mortgage. Your credit score is important but so is how much cash in the bank, what your income is. The type of property youre buying. It is true that your credit score is the biggest factor when it comes to your interest rate. That makes sense. Okay. Theres a highlight that our american heros, our vets can get 100 financing with a 620 credit score. Oh, okay. Whos next. When buying a house, the number one rule is location, location, location . Buy or bust . Im saying thats an old myth. Im saying thats a buy. Im sticking here. Right and wrong. Come on. More right. Yes its a buy. You lost willie. You lost willie. So heres the real life scenario. I have a house for sell, 10. 7 million. Beautiful architect and builder built the thing right but you take the house in alpine and put it anywhere else in new jersey its not 10. 7 million anymore. Location, location, location drives up the premium. All right. I guess youre going to sell that house then now. I hope so. All right. Okay, you should never make an offer below more than 10 of asking price. Im keeping this guy right here on the bust. Bust. Youre right. When youre making an offer, take two things into consideration. The fair market value of the home and what you can afford. The seller might have priced the home high emotionally because they might be attached to the house. You can come in low but be prepared to justify your price. You dont want to offend the seller. The best time to shop for a house is during the winter months. Buy or bust. Bust. I just dont want to move my thing. So, willie, the theory behind that is that 365, any day of the year say great time to buy a house if its your dream home. Never be the person trying to play the market wanting to move in the summer months and you miss out on what could have been. Dont you get better deals during the winter months . You may. Because theres less activity. It say little true but never pass up on your dream home. Not that im keeping score but i think i won. I think you win. Im okay with that. Im not done yet. Were out of time. Sorry. So willie wins. Lauren and jay, thank you. Thank you.

You could use roasted red peppers if you want to put theyre spanish. Im trying to keep the spanish theme. And also we talked about crunch and contrast of texture.

They might as well have been married if they were brother and sister. And it was the three of them that created the empire. The mother was a seamstress and made beautiful dresses. It was a close knit family. And she was kind of her own person and johnny basically pulled her in and then when he went, everyones looking at her. And she never really ran the company.

Welcome back to this today on friday. No matter our age, we need mentors to keep us on the straight and narrow. When youre a kid, that persons usually a parent or teacher. What about when youre an adult. Here to talk about the importance of a mentor is Jennifer Hartstein a psychologist and author of Strings Attached one tough teacher and the gift of expectations. Welcome. Thanks. Great to be here. We dont think of mentors i guess we get to a point in our lives where we know our job so we dont seek out somebody else to help us along the way. We know it all. You dont know it all. Theres always someone who is a few steps ahead of you. Even as adults, its important to take a step back and say what do i want to do next in this trajectory . Who might be able to provide guidance with a firm hand and figure out my next step to where i want to go. Is that not called a friend, joanne . Not necessarily. So our book Strings Attached is about the toughest teacher in the world, essentially. The guy we did not appreciate at the time. Definitely not our friend. And yet, many years later when this man passed away, hundreds, thousands students rallied and said this was the guy that really taught us things like resilience and perseverance. I think women watch, do i seek someone out and say, hey, can you help me. You can do both, i think. There are organizations out there where you can actually go put up a profile of what youre lookg for for a mentor. My fathers involved in Something Like this where he mentored young people starting businesses as he was an established business person and they kind of pair them up on this website so you can ask around, ask people you know, go seek someone. The reason a friend might not always be the best, theyre so emotionally invested in you they might not give you an honest opinion. Whereas a mentor, you want to build a relationship of respect. Is this a commercial venture . Do you have to pay for this . Is this all free on the internet somewhere . Its both. All the different levels. You can do both. You do have ways if you dont have them. Thats a tough love person you would try to avoid at all costs. You dont learn about it until later. Sometimes the best mentors are the ones tough on you. Its about tough love. What a great mentor is not the person who coddles you and pats you on the head and says youre so great. Theyre the person who is really honest with you who says, you know, work harder, who says, you know, the best teachers and end being. And if you think about your own best teachers, its probably not the one who let you get away with everything. It was probably the one who kicked your butt. I had one in sixth grade. No, tenth grade, no 11th grade said she was going to fail me if i didnt enter a certain pageant and it was a scholarship pageant kind of thing. I dont know if she wouldve but she scared me enough i did it. Its finding the balance between being able to say you have to do this. You can do better. And im telling you that because i know you can do better. And theyre pulling the best out of you. Its finding that fine line balance between driving you so hard it demoralizes you but driving you hard enough it lifts you. It could be anything. You might not know for me, it was a teacher in sixth grade who i loved. She had us doing all kinds of things and i never forgot it. But i think you get to a point in your life where you think, oh that person knows how to do it better than me. Should i ask for help or do my own thing . Its so true. It could be in the workplace, might be someone you really admire. Yeah. Say something. Who is a bunch of levels ahead of you. But theyve been where youve been and they can share with you that experience. Most are willing to also. Theyre flattered. They are flattered. And if we can learn from an intern. Sometimes an intern will say Something Like, oh, my god, thats genius, but you have to take a second and Pay Attention and realize you dont have to learn from people who are higher than you. The key is to learn something from everybody. You can ask to get to where you want to go. The person in the room nobody wants to be around is the person that thinks they know everything. Thats right. And i think the best leaders are the ones that do say they want to pay it forward. They want to talk to the young people. Thanks. They call themselves a hoda and kathie lee. Who do they think they are . Of late night. So who are we . Maybe were the mentors. I dont think so. Thats really sad. Its eb.

Please dont say six decades. Honestly. Six decades. You want to throw me into a bus. Decades. Say decades. Im an oldtimer. Im the oldest person at the today show. Live strong and well, willard. I want my own smuckers jar. All right. I would say thats probably my way of using humor to battle whats obvious. Has old become the new fat . Here to help us stop focusing on the negative is the editor in chief of self magazine. And coauthor with lucy of the nine rooms of happiness. Welcome, ladies. Thank you for having us. We make jokes about our age, we do it a lot and do it for fun and for laughs. But you guys say theres a line between doing it for the laugh and being exactly. Well, youre not old, youre awesome. And when we complain about our wrinkles and, you know, our gray hair, maybe its also a way of saying i wish i felt better but when you feel great, old is an attitude. Im just saying its all about how you feel and maybe its a signal if youre feeling old or you need to take a little better care of yourself. Not you, but some people. Everybody could take a little bit better care. Look at betty white, shes made old sexy. 91 years old. She has. And weve had people we had cher just on who looks awesome. Theres something different, i think, now that comes. Theres not such a stigma with age, is there . I think were taking better care of ourselves, living healthier, living longer and it shows. I think thats why you can be older and look younger. Sometimes i think when we put ourselves down, i dont think its because we hate ourselves. I think its because were like, oh, you too, i feel fat. Its like a bonding fun thing. That commiserating happens at every age. We saw Jennifer Lawrence and selena gomes doing it. And all these young people. You can only compare back, you cant compare forward. I think there was a line in a musical that said i dont want to be older, i want to be the old me. Its sort of like that. I want to be that girl what i want to point out. The opposite of old isnt new or young its healthy and energetic and your best self at every age and stage. Thats what im trying to promote. Right. I do think its funny when young, Beautiful People complain about their weight or age, it gets annoying. Oh, im turning 27. Smack them. Dont you . Is that a newer thing thats happening . Youre hearing it at younger ages, you know. And i think it is a problem if its too much. But i think a little bit motivates us to look our best and feel our best. But when youre doing it all the time and thats all youre hearing about, preoccupied with how you look, its not so good. Whats the take away, guys . What do you want i want people to understand you cant necessarily get a new vehicle, but you can take really good care of the one youve got. Get a lube job. Careful. Get exercising. This is permission to take better care of yourself, you know, like high octane fuel. Its going to benefit everybody around you. Youre right. Shiny new isnt real. Lets be the best we can be. And be kind to yourself. When we talk like this to ourselves, its not nice. And our kids are listening. Some people say it behind peoples backs, hoda. Why are you looking at me . I know you dont. Yes, they do. I dont think old should be bad, i think unhealthys the opposite. The opposite is not feeling healthy. Lets make healthy. All right, lucy. We got it. We got it . Thank you, ladies.
