And fangate. We have an extremely peculiar situation right now. Floridas governor refuses to take the stage in a debate because of the electric fan under his opponents podium. An awkward moment thats blowing up online today thursday october 16th, 2014. Good morning, withal come to today on a thursday morning. Savannah remains on maternity leave. Al is on the road and also in a little while well talk to a nurse who works at Texas Health Presbyterian hospital and she is now you could accurately a say whistleblower, talking about the lack of planning there, a lack of training, a lack of protocol and contradictions in procedure procedures that put peoples lives and health at risk. She speaks about the hospital she loves and works so hard for. Really courageous. Lets get the latest develop developments. Amber vinson is being treated at emorry university hospital, that of course is in atlanta. Hearings on capitol hill feature dr. Frieden and anthony fauchie, a lot of questions why the cdc knew vinson had a low grade fever but didnt stop her before boarding a commercial flight. Cleveland schools are closed today because a staffer may have traveled on the same plane as that nurse and president obama is weighing in saying moving forward the see dk will spend Rapid Response teams to any site where cases are discovered. Kate snow is in dallas for us once again. Kate, good morning to you. The second nurse waking up at Emory University hospital in atlanta where they have a specialized ebola team. Meantime a lot of questions being raised about what she did in the hours just before she got tick and checked into this hospital. 2yearold amber vinson walking onto the tarmac Late Wednesday night in atlanta. Motorcade of ambulances heading for emroary university hospital. Earlier, wearing yellow protective gear, vinson was able to walk on to the Medical Transport plane in dallas. But its another flight the nurse took just days ago that has many concerned. This past friday she flew from dallas to cleveland to visit her family and ian say in akron to plan her upcoming wedding. On monday she boarded a Frontier Airlines flight with 132 passengers on board for the flight back to dallas even though she had a temperature of 99. 5. On wednesday the director of the cdc first said she should have never taken that flight. At that point she was in a group of individuals known to have exposure to ebola. She should not have traveled on a commercial airline. Wednesday night the see dk said someone on his staff gotten a call monday. She told him she had a fever and asked if it was time to fly. The see dk considered Health Care Workers that had worn protective gear to be at lower risk but government officials said based on see dk guidelines vinson was never told not to take the flight. Frontier was notified yesterday by the see dk vinson may have been symptomatic earlier than initially suspected including the possibility of possessing symptoms while on board the flight. Well worry whose fault later. Lets move forward and keep this community safe. Reporter 75 hospital workers, being closely monitored. The see dk director confirming there was no consistent protocol at the hospital in terms of what protective gear to wear. Some wore layers of gloves. The risk of contamination during the process of taking these gloves off gets much higher. Reporter the mayor isnt very happy. Is it human error . I think its human beings coming together on the first time on a tough subject and this is a hard disease when you are perfect and when you only get 80 on the grade, thats not acceptable. Reporter president obama canceled fundraising trips planned for today as his administration deals with the deadly virus. We are monitoring, service supervising, overseeing in a much more aggressive way in dallas initially and making sure the Lessons Learned are transmitted to hospitals and clinics all across the crown. The country. Reporter on capitol hill later today, there will be a hearing at which officials will hear that their overall care and training was adequate. Advanced copy dr. Daniel vargas says unfortunately in our initial treatment of mr. Duncan despite our best intentions and highly Skilled Medical Team we made mistakes. We are deeply sorry. This morning the Dallas County executive tells nbc news he thinks this hospital should only be treating one ebola patient at a time. Back to you. Earlier this morning i spoke with Breanna Aguirre and her attorney bob kelly. Earlier she spoke about their lack of planning protocol and precautions. I would imagine when you have a possible ebola patient walking into an emergency room given all the attention paid to the crisis in west africa and the fear of it coming to the United States it would be some code red. That there be a lock down, that emergency protocols would be put immediately into place. Is that what you experienced . Well, first, i think we all have been watching too much tv. Because we never talked about ebola and we probably should have. I mean you never talked about it prior to mr. Duncan arriving . No. We never had a discussion. They gave us an optional seminar to go to, just informational. Not hands on and it was, it wasnt even suggested that we go. It wasnt, you know, something, that they say you really should try to make it. I believe it was only offered once, if not twice. We were never told what to look for. I dont think that any facility in the country is prepared for that at this time. So when mr. Duncan came to the emergency room a possible ebola patient, where was he placed . What kind of procedures immediately kicked into gear, if any . First let me say, i was not a nurse that cared for him and so i only know what my coworkers, people in care of him, handling his lab specimens. I was setting next to the doctor who was in charge of his care that day, and all i know for sure without any speculation, without any, you know, without being here misleading here at all is that he was put into an area where there are up to seven other patients. We took probably around three hours to make our First Contact with the cdc to even let them know that what we had is our suspicion. You know, there was no special precautions other than what we know in the medical industry to be basic contact precautions and droplet precautions, no special gear. We were unprepared in the sense that we didnt know what to do with his lab specimens. They were mishandled, and thats what the Lab Technician told me. It was a chaotic scene. Our Infectious Department was contacted to ask what is the protocol and their answer was we dont know. Well have to call you back. I want to talk to you about the protective gear that you initially wore. You did care for my nina pham, contracted the virus while she cared for mr. Duncan. You described there was a shield and a mask and a gown that covered your arms. You wore gloves and booties over your shoes, but there was a glaring difficulty or problem. There was a gap in your protective gear at your neck of several inches where your skin was exposed. Is that true . Just to clarify this very complicated story, initially, we were advised to wear a gown, front and back. By the time that i even partook in the ebola situation in my hospital, we were already wearing what i guess would be hazmat suits. They were tyvek suits. They were dupont suits, and it was basically, you know, just like you would have in a snowsuit or any hoodie, it would zip up to about here and then from there go into a hood up around my face, like this, around my whole face. On top of that was a mask in front of me that would go under my chin to here. So from here to here was uncovered. And that concerned you and you complained about it or you at least asked the officials at the hospital why that was being allowed to happen, correct . In fact, ill just be honest, i threw a fit. I just, i couldnt believe it. You know, in the second week of the ebola crisis at my hospital, the only gore theyre offering us at that time and up until that time is gear is that is allowing our necks to be uncovered and i just spot out asked several Infectious Disease nurses, i asked the cdc, why would i be wearing two pairs of gloves, three pairs of booties, a plastic suit covering my entire body and leave my neck hanging out this much so that it can, somebody can potentially go close to my mouth or nose . There are a lot of other hospitals in the dallas area. Texas Health Presbyterian could have put a call out to other hospitals saying do you have the suits that protect the entire body . Why dont you think they did that . Im in no, im not in administration and i would only be speculating. Im someone that i guess you would say is at the bottom of the totem pole here. I only know what information trickles down to me, but i actually posed that same question to someone who identified himself as the Vice President of our organization. I asked him, then good, youre the Vice President. You can go and ask for these supplies that we need. And he advised me, he would call me back. I asked him for a contact phone number so we can call someone more at the top of the totem pole and ask them for direct things that we need. Because its not just that that we were missing. He said he will call me back with a phone number that i can reach help with and he had never called me back. You, i mentioned, worked at this hospital and have worked there for three years. You love your job. You are not a union member. In dallas there, there isnt that nurses union. You are now saying things are going to make a lot of people at that hospital look very, very bad. Are you worried about the fallout here . For you, personally . I want to say that im sorry, for my coworkers, i know a lot of people will be proud of me right now. Im sorry for those who are not. What im doing here is not wrong and i dont believe anyone can argue that. And im very concerned about losing my job. Its the best job i ever had. I travel a great distance to work there. I dont live close to that hospital. I am the bread winner of my family and im terrified. Im like the majority of the middle class working class people, just a couple paychecks away from not being able to pay my mortgage, and im terrified about that. And i dont know about my future there at that hospital or at any hospital. Bob, does she have any protection . Well, matt, as you know, we are doing everything we can to protect her. Shes what is commonly known as a whistleblower and we have a history in these companies, when somebody comes out like this and blows the whistle of whats going on of retaliating against them. So shes got a 7yearold daughter, a 10yearold daughter, shes the bread winner in her family. Our law firm is doing everything we can to protect her at this point. Its my hope after the American People hear today whats going on at that hospital, that the country will come behind and support her. Brianna, finally for you, you are in that 21day period where you are monitoring your temperature a couple times a day. Although as i mentioned, there are no restrictions placed on you moving around right now. But if, and i dont this is hypothetical. If you were to start to experience symptoms of ebola, Texas Health Presbyterian hospital would be the recommended hospital for you to go to for treatment. How would you feel about that . You know, i have played that situation out in my head and knowing what i know, i would try anything and everything to refuse to go there to be treated. I would feel at risk by going there. If i dont actually have ebola, i may contract it there is how i actually feel. I would do anything to refuse to go there. Breanna aguirre and bob kely, thank you both very much. I appreciate your time this morning. Thank you. Thank you, matt. Let me say off the bat, it was difficult for her to come forward. She said it over and over, she loves that job. She posted on facebook a while ago she was so proud of her hospital that if ebola had come to her area she thought her hospital would be best prepared to handle it. That all changed when mr. Duncan walked through that door. This is a level 1 trauma center. Everybody looking around is going to be asking the questions, if thats happening at one of the top hospitals in the country, what is happening at my hospital . Thats right. We are going to hear more of that interview coming up. And dr. Mehmet oz will be here with reaction. You can see the entire interview on today. Com.

But in a good way the price of gas taking a certified nose dive. A gallon of regular 3 nationwide. Gasoline is now its lowest price in four years. What do you think this is saving you on gas . Like about 100 a week. So thats pretty good for right now. Reporter since the start of the month, prices have dropped 15 cents. About 50 cents since the end of june, and hang on. Analysts say it could drop another 20 cents. The real reason the gas prices are falling right now at steeper rates than we have seen in years is due to the freefall in crude oil prices. Reporter after hitting a peak of 104 over the summer, oil dipped to as low as 80 on wednesday. Prices havent been this cheap in years. Its a blessing and a saving at the same time. A double whammy. Reporter for many, saving even a few bucks makes a big difference. During the summer it cost me 35 just to fill up. Now it only costs me 15 bucks. Reporter thats a big difference. Thats a very big difference. Reporter consumers pocketing the difference as gas prices fall. For today Janet Shamlian, nbc news, baytown, texas.

Lets start by taking a look at some of the headlines. The explosive allegations made by briana aguirre. She says the hospital was unprepared, no training in place, and ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan was cared for in a room close to seven other patients, and nurses treating him had areas of their skin exposed. Were going to hear much more from briana coming up. Meanwhile, the second dallas nurse infected with ebola is being treated at Emory University hospital in atlanta. Amber vinson arrived last night, leaving a Medical Transport plane under her own power. Earlier this week, vinson flew on a Frontier Airlines flight from cleveland to dallas, even though she had a lowgrade fever. Prior to boarding, she reached out to the cdc, but nbc news has learned she was never told not to fly. In a Statement Released overnight, the airline says it was notified of vinsons condition and has taken the plane out of service. Coming up, dr. Ozs take on the ebola crisis. Does he think the cdc is doing enough, and are hospitals prepared . Lets begin this half hour with a new investigation open into former 7th heaven star stephen collins. Hes already facing child molestation allegations, but now another alleged victim has reached out to police. Nbcs Holly Jackson has the latest. Reporter stephen collins, back in the headlines, the subject of a new investigation, this time by the l. A. County Sheriffs Department after a woman came forward telling police the actor exposed himself to her in 1983 when she was 13. Tmz claims in an audio recording, not verified by nbc news, collins confessed during a 2012 therapy session to molesting three young girls years ago. His estranged wife turned the tape over to police in 2012. She was 11, and then 12 and 13. Is this victim who came forward somebody who was referred to on this recording . I dont know yet. Theres a possibility, but at this point we dont know for sure. Reporter the Sheriffs Department says collins is being investigated for misdemeanors, but because of the length of time thats passed, its not clear whether the actor will be prosecuted if detectives determine the allegations are true. The nypd is conducting a separate investigation. Collins is best known for playing a reverend on the show 7th heaven, but its a more recent religious role thats causing controversy. Collins plays a priest who molested children, con fronted by a man he once abused. Some day, it will be forgotten. So wrong, father. Reporter at least two Film Festivals have decided not to screen the movie, which was shot last year before the allegations against collins became public. Needless to say, i was shocked. Reporter the films director plans to do night to an organization that helps children. Abuse doesnt go away, that you can move on, it affects everything in your world after that point. Reporter collins lawyer did not respond to our requests for comment. For now, the Police Investigations go on. For today, Holly Jackson, nbc news, los angeles. All right, lets get another check of the weather from al. He is on the road at his college stomping grounds. Al, good morning again. Hey, good morning, natalie.

Weve got a lot of moisture, in fact, moisture from gonzalo will be making its way up along this system and into new england.

Want to show you what it looks like over tiburon. Really pretty start to the day. Sun comes up and you can see gorgeous high and midlevel clouds. Temperatures will be comfortable today.

Fresh is happening now. Nurse who was at the center of that dallas hospital crisis. Dr. Emmett oz is here. Im glad you are here as i play you a little more of our exclusive conversation with brianna aguirre. As more and more patients who are coming in suspected of possibly having ebola, that a member of the Infectious Disease staff told a doctor that it would be okay to go from one room of one patient wage to another room of another patient, without disinfecting herself. Is that correct . Yes. Im sorry to say, yes. And i mean, im just embarrassed for my hospital to even say that because i expected more out of us. Also rules that were kriblthd overnight. At one case a patient with a preliminary negative test for ebola, the nurses wanted to move that patient out of the room. They were told under no circumstances should that patient be moved until a final determination of whether that patient had ebola. Then the very next day, several other patient was had preliminary negative tests were treated very differently. Thats right. Like youre saying, i worked two consecutive days in a row. The first day we called and said this patient preliminarily came back negative. Can we move him out . We posed the question if it was early enough to say you dont have it and you can now come out of isolation. They said, no, he must be maintained under isolation until the final results come back and say they are negative. And the very next day, we had two preliminary results that said these two patients were negative. They told us to move them out of isolation, because we had other patients coming in. And i stood with two other nurses at my signed we said, no, we refuse. We were just told Something Else the day before, how could it be a different story now. We said, we refuse. We said if you want them moved out of strict isolation, you can gown up and put on whatever suit and can you come in here and mover them, yourself. They did not do. That they told us that we didnt feed to wear the full suit with them anymore him they were negative. They told us we now only had to wear our gown and gloves. I asked them, why would i need to were anything if they have been proved to be negative. You told me there were waste receptacles in hallways outside of rooms where patients were treated and the materials were placed in those receptacles, people walked past them hour after hour. Thats correct. Those garbage containers pence the rooms, outside the rooms. We as nurses had said, you know, there are dirty items up and down this hallway. You know, no one can come in and out of here and the cdc, our Infectious Disease control nurses. They had been up and down that hallway where there was garbage piled to the ceiling without so much as even gloves on so much as having tear feet covered. And then just walking into other general areas that are supposed to be clean and there was no one to peck up our garbage for the two days that i was there pence there. They had no one to pick up the garbage. It was literally piling high to the creeling. Thats after we already filled up the room that they had designated as the garbage room. It was full. That again is brianna aguirre, she says she hates to say these things about the hospital she loves, no planning. They waited three hours to contact the cdc once they get mr. Duncan. They are shockingacys, but the reality is we are in the middle of one massive live experiment in america. Try to take care of ebola training, it changes the equation. Now you have to protect yourself from getting infected. Its like trying to teach someone how to deploy a parachute after they jump out of the plane. There is no room for error. People are trembling because they are humbled about the reality. Just to give you an idea. One droplet of ebola blood and one droplet of hiv. I did this back tablation, one drop of ebola blood is probably 60 liters of hiv blood. Its a much different pathogen. It lives for days or weeks in gi fluid or in blood. Even when we conduct interviews, i want to be cautious as to not create widespread panic out there. What is the most Important Message we send to our viewers even as we learn about more missteps that were taken at that hospital and the whole procedure. Matt, every time i am asked about this i am asked not to panic people. I want to be humble and calm. The people that know how to do this, people in west africa struggling with doctors without borders. Theyre say wack we have been doing to today has not been enough. We will be camping up. I dont think the issue is flying on planes him Health Care Workers have to be supported. It will take weeks for us to train hospitals. The biggest message, one thing for me today, every hospital in america should not be gearing up. Lets pick a couple centers of excellence, in major areas, not just four, we feed more. Get them up and running. There will be more coming in. Regional na fit u silts. Thanks, for your input. You can see the full interview on our website at today. Com. Coming up on trending.

She raised concerns taking a commercial flight one day before she was diagnosed. There are claims this morning the texas hospital at the heart of the ebola crisis mishandled the situation from the start. Nbc National Correspondent kate snow is in dallas. Good morning. Reporter good morning. A lot of questions raised about this hospital, texas presbyterian in dallas. This morning on today you heard from a nurse that works at the hospital. Matt asked her why shes changed her opinion of her own hospital since the crisis began. Heres what she had to say. I believe they should have known that they were not handling this well, this ebola crisis. They should have known that it was getting out of hand. They should have called in more help, even to make a public plea and say help us. You know, help us get the supplies we need. Help us get the nurses the education and training they need. Anyone. Were not handling it well, and i watched them violate basic principles of nursing care of medical care. Reporter in reaction to breannas statements, the hospital referred us to an earlier statement they made this morning responding to anonymous nurses with statement as similar to breannas. In that they said duncan was moved to a private room and placed in isolation. They said the thd staff at the hospital wore the personal protective equipment as recommended by the cdc at the time. They said nurses at no known risk were allowed to treat other patients per cdc guidelines. On the Hazardous Waste question, the hospital says it went above and beyond cdc recommendations to keep it contained. Today a hospital official along with other authorities including the cdc will be testifying at a hearing on capitol hill. We can expect lawmakers to have a lot of questions about the protocols in dallas. Thank you very much.

We will from this moment toward insure no other individual whos being monitored for exposure undergoes travel. When mile starting today, four more airports are joining jfk in screening arriving passengers from west africa for symptoms of ebola. On capitol hill and among health care professional, a growing call to impose a travel ban on passengers from the region.

It reads, unfortunately Navarro College is not accepting International Students from countries affected. In the statement the college refused to say if it has or had a policy to reject students based on the ebola outbreak. It did say unfortunately some students received Incorrect Information regarding their applications to the institution. The college also noting its currently has 100 students from africa on the campus. If that is correct and thats what the reason was for rejection, thats a big, big problem. It owes students who got the letter an explanation. Hes hosted the emmys and to tonys but now hes going to have a date with oscar. Im in. Nice. Need we say more .

Back now with an essay that touched a nerve. Emily had a double mastectomy at the age of 32, which left her unable to breastfeed her son. To much dismay, she faced criticism when she formula fed him. Some of the comments she good, you know, breastfeeding is optimal. Breast is best. So youre not breastfeeding. Its better, you know. She decided to write a column, why i do not breastfeed, if you must know. How are you doing health wise, first . Great. Great. Things very really good. Okay, for all cancer survivors, it hangs in the background. Right now, im enjoying this little guy. Things have been great. He is almost seven months old now . Almost eight. Your essay touched quite a nerve. A lot of people responded to this. Were you amazed by the responses that you got . It was great. I think it touched a lot of women who wanted to talk about being judged for doing natural child birth, being judged for not doing natural child birth. Being judged for so many things from youre too big during pregnancy. Are you too small. So it really struck people beyond the cancer survivor community. Its okay. You know, as i was reading it. What really struck me is how hard it was for you to get pregnant. You had to wait many, many years. You talk about this is your little miracle and to be judged so harshly. Not just by women, but even some men judged you. How painful was that for you and why did you feel like you had to explain, i didnt breastfeed because i had Breast Cancer . Well, i didnt always explain. I endured dirty looks, but within i did explain, i really felt like there were so many cancer survivors. Women are surviveing it. Its going. I think there is a story to be told. I really wanted to tell it before in this context. It brings up the bigger issue in society on women, how we judge each other. You raise those important questions and points. Yeah. Carson is in the orange. Reporter you know you have the results of some surveys as well . I do. Im here with a psychology. Let me show you interesting data. When asked, do you think people judge pots was dont breastfeed . 86 say yes. Going on, if are you a mom that didnt breastfeed, do you think people judge you. Does this surprise you . No, it didnt surprise me. We are judging each other, based on what we see other people doing. In popular culture, breastfeeding is best. If we look at the research, more of the medical research, research is coming out saying, you know, be there for your kid. Provide them sustenance and safety. Its a cham why we judge instead of empower . We are social beings. Women look at the social relationships they have. We always compare ourselves. Are we doing as well as this one. Do i look as good as that one . We are constantly in that mode. Often we are looking and judging and our own insecurities we put on people comes back to us. If we could lift each other up, how much better it could be. Natalie, back to you. You know, emily, final message here, if you want women to take away from what you wrote. What is the larger issue here and the pont you can make. You need to run your own race in lie and know whats in your heart and what you want to do. And forget about the haters. Good for you.

Hello. Al roker. How are you . Nice to see you. This is where i used to live when i went to this school. Was in this room right here. This was mine. This side. I was on this side. All right. Ah, look at this, you guy versus tv. You brought it in, yourself. And the women are stronger today. Wow. We didnt have selfies back in the day. We had save drawings. That was it. This is where i spent most of my College Career public radio for central new york. Not only did i earn a clap, i earned hard earned cash running the board during the watergate hearings. Back when i was here in school, you feed sustenance to maintain the brain power to make sure you were a good student. Thats where the oswego subshop came in. Hi, how are you . Hi, how are you .

Hannah and maimai are two of his daughters. I want to talk to you. I cant wait for this. I want to ask you how your day is doing. Nasty rumors over the weekend he was if bad health. How is he doing . He is doing really good, actually. We call him in the morning. He enjoys being muhammad ali. He is not in pain. Unfortunately, certain family members that dont understand parkinsons might misspeak, they think he is doing worse than he s. He is fine, people, dont be worried. Thats fuse can i hear. So much is written about your dad or recorded. This was really supposed to take a different look. You wanted to show a different side. What does it show . It shows him as a human being i think, a father, a friend. It gets into the essence of who he is. The spirit he is. People know this big personality, dynamic out of the box personality. Was he like that at home like a dad . You know, he was leak that. He was pretty much the same he had an intimate softer side. Hed banish us to the kid room. He wanted us involved if his decisionmaking. He wanted to know from us, what do you want in life . He engaged that conversation. Do you think in some ways he didnt want the public to see that quiet, softer side that he always liked the public to see that larger than life side of himself . I dont know for us, he was larger than life around the house. He would help you around the house and go i am the greatest . Hed chase us with halloween masks, playing jokes and magic tricks. He had a spiritual side around the house that was profound t. Spirituality he wanted for us to exercise that so we can have major coping skills in life. I said a bunch of times, i never got to sit down with him and have that talk that interview and ask all the questions i had formulated since i was a 7yearold boy because his voice was taken by parkinsons. You can communicate with him much better than most people. But has it been frustrating to see him lose that ability to communicate in that way. For me, its frustrating. My father Still Community indicates. We are lucky to be able to talk to him and see him more often than most people. You know, we still get it. Its just a softer voice. Now we have the blessing of his audio recordings. I have some. We talked a lot about everything. We really did. I can tell on film the kind of conversations. So it was a quality of conversations. So, you know, we handled this with stride. This is destiny. Your dad always likes to look to the future. So this future generation coming up. He never had the privilege of watching him in the ring, what do you want them to take away from watching this documentary . Its interesting you say that. A lot of journalists say we talked to him. I talked to people 30 and under. They dont know his history. I want them to take way. Be free who you are and there is a lot of discrimination and everyone is equal. Py father not for that equality.

When love, life and loss intersect when you leechl expect it. Take a look. Why are you laughing . I dont know, i guess i miss this. I miss you getting all mad at me. I know. Be a little pushy. Im not pushy. You just care so much. Juju cant help yourself. Welcome back. Good to see you. They gave me a screener. They said bring me a kleenex. I made a vow to myself i would not cry. Thats presumptuous. This movie is well crafted. Thank you very much. Had you read the book . I did read the book. It wasnt the director said, look, this will be different than the book. Most of it is pretty much the same. He said, we will follow the script. It will be our blue print. Read it if you want to. I think he was concerned sometimes actors get ideas. Nicholas sparks has this ability to bring emotions right to the surface without making it seem obvious or schmalcy he gets you every time. The character, dawson coal, how would you describe him . I said rough around the edges, is that fair . I think he has an abusive father, hes an introvert. He meets this young woman. Shes a beacon of light, opens him up. For the first time, experiences real love or someone showing love to him. He wants to stay in her field of gravity. The movie takes you back and forth between 20 years ago and the characters in high school and the present day. To me its about what ifs. Do you know what i mean by that . We all, its easy to romanticize who we would be or how would it be different if we stayed with the person in high school, if we sikhed instead of zagged, youd nerve know, would i be more happier, more content . In this case, this was the one for him. 20 years later, shes moved on with her life when hes trying desperately to get her back. They go back to high school. Its tough for someone as young as you are. Take me back to your high school. No. Just for a second. No thanks. Arent you also working on a project with jack black about High School Days . Yes, i did a film with jack, its a samberg about a high school reunion, a 20 Year High School reunion. The producers desperately wanted to see a pick of you in high school. I was like the cool guy if high school. Jack was the little nerd. Nice. Technically a mullet in. I dont know, i dont know what the health ca heck it is. I think that was 1989. Weve all been there. Yeah. We all have those. What are you working on next . I just finished the pilot for west world with jonah nolan. Its an hbo highlight. We finished that with Anthony Hopkins and harrison, so fingers crossed for that. The jack black movie is coming up after this. Thats the last time we will ever share the high school photo. I promise you. Thats all right. I get more mileage out of that. The best of me opens tomorrow. You are great in this movie. We will talk to his costar in our next half hour. First, did you see this, the gymnast scared off the medal podium by a bee . She is one of the great future stars in that sport. First, this is today on nbc. Only one place helps you maximize everything in your life, everyday. The place where you always get more than you pay for. T. J. Maxx. Brands you love, prices that work for you. This fall, shop smarter. Maxx first doesnt everyone deserve a maxx life . T. J. Maxx. Well, the u. S. Womens gym fastics team competed over the weekend and landed on the on the of the leader board. She led with four golds, one silver, a lot of respect for bees. Cy simone, good morning. Good morning. We are looking at your impressive harvard work. That is amazing. You are quite the star. I think what a lot of people are also talking about, not just the medal count but the little incident with the bee on the podium. Yes. What happened there . It was in the flower. Marissa pointed it out to me. I tried not to freak out. I freaked out. I dont blame you. I dont like bees. You kept your smile the entire time. Get rid of the flowers, finally. In addition to all this stuff, there is so much in the way of expectations on you as we head into the next olympic cycle. Are you feeling it . Yes, kind of. Still leving it off a little bit. Does it bother you at all . It doesnt bother me. It actually excites me. I try not to think about it. Does it motivate you . Yes. Very. Did you hear what olympic Mary Lou Retton said, she called you unbeatable. She said you are the most talented gymnast she has ever seen. Yes. Thats Pretty Amazing hearing that from Mary Lou Retton. Give it to the bee. Thanks for letting us keep this. Your work paid off for youre watching today in the bay. A very good morning to you. It is 8 56. Im laura garciacannon. In just minutes, protesters will gather outside San Francisco city hall, upset over what they call the privatization of the mission playground. The protests stems from this video posted on youtube showing a group of neighborhood kids arguing with a group of dropbox employees over a soccer area at the playground. The employees have a permit to use the area, but the kids play pickup soccer there every night. The city allows the area to be reserved two nights a week. Today, protesters will ask the city to make the park 100 public. Since this video was posted, dropbox has apologized for the way its employees acted. They eventually worked it out and played. Thats good. Another update in half an hour. Decay. Its the opposite of evolution. The absence of improvement. And the enemy of perfection. Which is why you can never stop moving forward. Never stop inventing. Introducing the mercedesbenz gla. A breakthrough in design, aerodynamics and engineering. Because the only way to triumph over decay. Is to leave it in its own dust. This is todays take, live from studio 1a in rock ferl plaza. Well item to today on a drizzly, dreary thursday morning here in new york city. October 16th, 2014. Al is on the road at his alma mater, oswego, new york. Thats part of the University System here in new york. Al is distinguished alumni. Bmoc up there. Big man on campus. Were having a great time, were just down the hall from the al roker television studio, which gives you an idea really not much nobody of any note has graduated from here. They all went ahhh. It was a shameless attempt to get sympathy. Thank you so much. It works every time, though. All right, al, well check in with you in just a couple of minutes. How cool is that, you go to school and come back and two years later your name is up above. Thats so major, i love that. Thats what al roker does. Meanwhile the latest on this ebola story. Were talking with nurse briana aguir aguirre. Her colleagues treated Thomas Eric Duncan, the man who died last week. She did not. But she talked to matt earlier this morning and talking about some of the concerns that she and she says other Health Care Personnel have at that hospital, specifically about the protective gear theyre using or not using. And it was basically, you know, just like you would have in a snowsuit or any hoodie, it would zip up to about here. Then from there go into a hood up around my face, like this around my whole face. And then on top of that was a mask in front of me that would go under my chin to here. So from here to here was up covered. If you were to start to experience symptoms of ebola, Texas Health Presbyterian hospital would be the recommended hospital for you to go to for treatment. How would you feel about that . You know, i played that situation out in my head, and knowing what i know, i would try anything and everything to refuse to go there to be treated. I wolf at risk by going there. If i dont actually have ebola, i may contract it there. Wow, and thats coming from a nurse that works inside that hospital. And hospital officials, specifically daniel varga, will participate in this hearing later today on capitol hill. I cant wait to see if one of the lawmakers specifically cites this interview and rather than a written statement, rather than a statement that comes in the middle of the night on capitol hill respond to that specific allegation from that nurse. She goes on to recount, you know, more details about the night when Thomas Duncan presented himself to the hospital. All of the errors that were made since then and continue to be made there. In fact she says some of the nurses that she works with, shes on vacation right now but shes allowed to walk around freely. There is obviously shes checking herself regularly and doing all the things that shes supposed to be doing but the nurses that she works with, theyre going to work as well and theyre still encountering people who could potentially be cases of ebola. So a lot of questions that shes raising. I think a lot of Unanswered Questions and concerns. The other part from the cdc i think people are worried about today is amber vincent, the second nurse diagnosed with ebola, was allowed to get on a flight to cleveland, spend time with friends and family. She called and said should i travel and the cdc said yes. She said she had like a 99. 5. Which is below their threshold. Low grade, though. Thats amazing i think to a lot of people that that was allowed to go on. Meanwhile last night symbol survivor dr. Kent brantly speak to cnns anderson cooper. Still says he doesnt know how he got the disease. Do you know how you got it . Was there a moment that you look back on and say that was it, that was the moment . I am convinced that i did not get ebola in the isolation unit. Really . Our process there was safe. Every time i went into that unit full of ebola patients, i was fully suited up in the tvvex suit, mask. Every part of your skin was covered up. Every inch. Then im curious, how does he believe he got it . And all these months later he still doesnt know. And hes going through in his head, they followed every single protocol and procedure. So even having those protocols and procedures in place, mistakes happen. So what kind of a dad are you . When the baby is crying in the middle of the night do you get up and take care of them . Luckily they dont cry in the middle of the night too much. Ill be honest did you duck the night shift . Christina and i have an agreement that for me to get up for an hour or two in the morning wouldnt make a lot of sense. I would be there during the day and shed get up in the night. But the question here is do guys fake sleep when they hear the baby cry . Turns out they do. They do. There was a survey conducted. Apparently 56 of dads pretend to be asleep when their kids are crying in the night. They say the babies are crying for mom anyway, they dont want me half the time. We are the worst. I do have to say my husband i give all the credit in the world because we have that same deal. He knows im getting up at god awful hours in the morning, so he pretty much is the one who answers the call a lot. So pretty lucky in that sense. Its almost half and half. I was just trying to find a silver lining. Like 85 say i did not hear my own child scream. I do think and maybe even sympathize. There is a moment, like on a weekend when i do have to wake up and its the middle of the night and you hear the cry. You both lie there and see is the other one going to move or am i going to move . Theres that chess match that you play. Plus if you get up to comfort the child and it doesnt work. Youre like i got up. The list of excuses, the top five excuses, they say ive got to go work tomorrow. Like we dont have to . I did it last night. Theyre calling for you, not me, and then i just pretend to be asleep as we talked about. Youre better at dealing with it than i am. That doesnt work. Thats never the right answer. What could you say that would get you out of that . Nothing. We take turns. Thats the only way to handle it. Share responsibility. It took two to have that child. It takes two to take care of it. Something else we like, throwback thursday. We go online and spy on celebrities. I couldnt even get it out. To see what theyre posting on instagram. And madonna put up a picture and it says unconsciously transmitting ideas to the other m. C. Way back quantum. That is a picture of madonna in the early days. I dont know the year early 80s . Before borderline . That was the first hit. Well, no, she was blonde by then. Anyway, madonna, call us and let us. Was she channeling miley . Miley was channeling her perhaps back in the day. Oh, thats right. The chicken came before the egg. I was thinking how much madonna looks like her daughter, lordes, which you should because its your child, but its a really uncanny resemblance with lordes whos now in college. I read a story that she could have her own apartment, her moms super rich. Shes sharing a dorm room and shes at the university of michigan where her mom went to school. Lets get a check of weather with al again up in oswego. Todays weather is brought to you by progressoh light soups. 100 calories per serving. Progress oh light supoups. I got to go to my dorm i stayed in here back in 1972. Anyone here from annendaga . The first year i went was the first year they had coed dorms here. It didnt really do me any good. And then the dining hall, of course. The food here is pretty good, isnt it . Back in the day i worked in the dining hall. They had salisbury steak and it was so bad everybody started sticking it onto the Bulletin Board with a fork. Youre all waving. Or do you have to go to the bathroom . All right, lets show you whats going on as far as your weather is concerned. We are watching two tropical entities, but of course weve also got this system along the eastern seaboard thats bringing heavy rain making its way into the northeast and into new england. And in fact some moisture from gonzalo which is going to hit bermuda on friday. That is going to rocket up the coast and enhance the moisture and the winds, so weve got a real mess thursday into friday, especially as you get into new england, anywhere from 1 to 2 inches of rain, but we could have some isolated areas of 4 inches of rain with torrential rain and strong wind gusts. Were going to be watching this over the next 24 hours. S. Thats whats hey, thank you. Gorgeous day coming your way. Mild temperatures, a mix of sun and clouds. 66 in San Francisco. 69 for the east shore, and 76 degrees in the south bay, with changes on the way. Today will be mild. By tomorrow youll need that umbrella, need your jacket. More rain on the way. Then for the weekend, temps stay cool. Weve got another system for monday, so well show you the timing for the next two systems today at 11 00. And thats your latest weather. Guys. All right, al, well see you in a couple of minutes. Coming up next, she won the hearts of millions of fans for her awardwinning role as ugly betty. She actually got her start by speaking into a certain audition years earlier. Good to see you. Good to see you here. Well talk to her right after this. Tv and film star America Ferrera got an emmy, golden globe and Screen Actors Guild award. Now shes hitting the stage in lips together, teeth apart. America is with us. Good morning, good to see you. Good morning. Just quickly looking back at the ugly betty years. A baby. I was. Not that youre older now. Well, i am older now. Older and looking good in that dress. Thank you. But when you look at that, does it seem like forever again . It kind of does. It kind of feels like a long time ago. I was a baby. I was 21 when i started that. What a journey, and now youre here with this new production. Its a heavy topic with a comedic air. Youre a pro so i wont ask you how you balance is because thats your job, but how do you decompress when youre dealing with buried secrets after you leave . You know, theater is interesting. I for some reason had this idea that id go and do my job for two and a half hours and have the rest of the day to myself. Theater really stays with you all day and kind of your entire day is about getting up on stage for those two and a half hours and giving the best performance you can for every person who buys a ticket to see you. But thats one of the reasons i moved to new york, live theater. I was born and raised in los angeles and we didnt have access to live theater the way you do here in new york. I moved here to watch live theater, but also as an actress to get to do live theater. So its a childhood dream for me to get on the subway and do a show every night on 43rd street. Its a question we ask a lot of tv and film actors when they go to the stage, but what is that difference for you . Obviously youve got the Immediate Reaction from the audience, but at the same time youre doing it eight nights a week and have to keep it fresh. Yeah, its a different muscle as an actor that you use than when youre doing television or film. And it requires a lot of discipline, which i love. It sort of brings me back to the bare bones of why i do what i do and trying to challenge myself as an actor and make sure i never get too comfortable doing, you know, one thing or the other. And theyre all challenging in their own way. But, you know, theres nothing like that live energy. Once you hear that audience, 300 people milling about waiting to see what you have to show them for the night, your energy and your heartbeat cant help but start lifting off. Well, you also have just completed a production, a film with your husband. Yeah. And i understand there was a certain sex scene in there that you had to warn the family about, right . What was the reaction . They were pretty great about it. This is our second feature film that weve done together, my husband and i, that he wrote and directed and i starred in and produced. We do the scene opens with a very intimate scene between the two of them so we did have to warn a few of our family members. His mother, who is very loving and supportive, asked very nicely, ryan, did you make a porno . And he said, no, mom, i didnt. Its not that bad, i promise. They were wonderful and supportive. But at least its with your spouse, right . Not some weird guy you just met. We premiered at the Film Festival here in new york and it was completely shot in new york city. So were committed to being new yorkers. We love to hear that. Glad to hear that. Youve got to tell us about this tweet i guess it was on instagr instagram, the sisterhood of the traveling bands. We know the script may be in the works. Whats the story here . The story here is just that we were having brunch. You know why im asking, america. We love each other. I mean its out there that the script is being written for a third film, which is based on a fifth book that the author put out, which picks up ten years after the last time you saw the girls. So theyre about 28, 29, which is around the age. I think thats a who knows, well see. One of the best places to dine in new york, well give you all of the new york secrets, where willie hangs, you live in new york near us. But in the meantime we cant ever go too long without seeing each other because we love each other. It is a sisterhood. America, so great to have you here. Thanks, america. Coming up next, two High School Sweethearts reunited after 20 years. Thats the premise of the new romantic drama, the best of me. Michelle mon han is one of the stars and shes got another talent that you may not know about, but you will, right after this. Taking a look at the headlines, another big recall, this one from chrysler. The company is recalling more than 900,000 cars and suvs worldwide because of problems with altl the natures and power mirrors. Affected are green wrajeep wran mystery about that man with the clipboard when the second ebola patient was transferred wednesday. He is the medical safety coordinator for the flight and part of that teams protocol is to have one person not in a biohazard suit. A new study may contradict some of the weight loss wisdom that youve heard before. Researchers in australia found that gradual weight loss is no better than crash dieting for longterm weight control. In a study of 200 obese adults, more people in the crash dieting group were able to lose a significant amount of weight but after three years, both groups had put back about 70 of what they had lost. As always, its always best to check with your doctor. Today apple holds a big event in california. It is widely expected that they are going to be introducing the new ipads and computers, perhaps including macs with new High Resolution displays. Apple has also indicated a new mac operating system will soon be coming out. Phobia facebook is launchin tool for users to get word to friends that theyre safe after natural disasters. Its called safety check and it will be become to the 1. 3 billion users. People in areas affected by disasters will get a mess annual from safety check asking if theyre safe. If they answer yes, facebook will let their friends know that they are okay. An oregon man making good on his childhood promise to share the prize with his brother if he ever hit the lottery jackpot. Quinn hale thought his brother was joking when you called to say he finally won a Million Dollars. Each brother now pockets 335,000 after taxes. I think just an example of brotherly love there. Fantastic. Coming up, well tell you where you can find brad pitt this weekend, after your local news. Youre watching today in the bay. Good thursday morning. Its 9 26. Im sam brock. Investigators right now are looking for whoever is responsible for shooting a 12yearold boy in front of an east bay apartment. The shooting happened just before 9 00 last night in bay point. Deputies arrived, they found a 12 year old with a gunshot wound. A helicopter flew the boy to Childrens Hospital in oakland. No word on his condition. Bay area detectives are looking for a man who groped two young girls inside of a crowded store. The first victim was at a San Leandro Walmart store. The man grabbed her from behind monday night. 15 minutes later, the same thing happened to another girl at a target right down the street. Police believe the same man is responsible for both attacks. And this evening, the giants looking to advance to their third world series in five seasons if they can close the door. They are one win away from advancing. First pitch this evening is at 5 00. We are all very excited about that. A look at weather and traffic after the break. Welcome back. Im meteorologist christina loren. Weve got a great looking day. Kind of a transitional day between two storm systems. More rain on the way as we head throughout tomorrow. Were going to wait on that, though, until tomorrow afternoon. And temperatures are going to be really, really comfortable, both today and tomorrow. Were talking about the low 70s on the peninsula. Upper 60s on the east shore, and San Francisco, 66 degrees for the final day of the dream force conference. Biggest tech conference in the world. As we head throughout the next couple days, more change coming your way. Well time out the storm system today at 11 00. We are a very slow drive here in fremont.

And thats what she experiences 20 years later. Sort of two high school loves, an incredible powerful love story, but you hear, you see them as they are then 20 years later in their lives an reconnecting and having that sec chance as you said. So what was it that appealed to you about the role . Well, i loved the idea that this is life that people have lived. You know, 20 years and its confronting, you know, to look at your own life and its self reflection and getting back to when you were happy, perhaps. And i love that its self discovery and i love that its full of passion and heartache and love than loss and i just related to that as a woman, im a romantic.

Here are tips to help tame your kids emotions is child expert michelle borbar. It seems kid takes on. Emotions of their parents. Loud or not. That is something you can they model us, they come with video camera recorders implanted in their heads. Step one is realize your power and your influence because what you model will be mirrored back to your child. If you are really sad, thats normal. Be able to say, im sad because grandpa is sick, im going to go outside to get myself collected. Im angry, so im going to turn off to the side of the road to get myself back into shape. You say a timeout for parents. Exactly. But youre modeling through your child so he knows that moods are normal. You should show your child when youre sad, you should explain why youre sad . Plainly explain is what you really want to do. It depends, doesnt it . Sure. What it is, and you dont want to say im enraged, so here i go. All children are different to me, and at different ages, theyre certainly not ready for certain things. There are some kids who do throw crazy tantrums at times and what is the best way for a parent to sort of number one is if you look real carefully at your child, youll see a predictable pattern that happens seconds before the exorcism. Your goal is to realize the kid is always going like this you have seconds or his little feet are moving, thats when you can distract, you can use emotion coaching. You look really sad. You look mad. Or the seconds before can actually if you see your child punching up you know the bomb is about to blow you have seconds to distract him, tell him freeze. Look at the birdie over there. Lets go find that little hummingbird. Look at him go. Or freeze, dont move your feet. Take a big, big breath, dragon breath. That works for kids, the breathing . It does. The thing you have to remember is once the temper tantrum it starts, the more attention you give it, the longer it lasts. It is hard to ignore it. Cody, one and only one he had was in bloomingdales. Ill never forget it. I had to stand there and just wait for him to finish. A plus. You want to make a fool of yourself, you go, guy. You have props and stuff that you can help kids. What were trying to do is help your child learn a habit to manage the emotion when it gets too severe or too stressed. For instance, youre dealing with little kids, the coolest thing is actually bubble blowers. Why . Not during a time when theyre really angry, but time right before. They can learn you take a deep breath from here, then blow your away. Your child starts to feel it starts here. When your daughter is older, yoga is wonderful. Getting a slow deep breath into your brain, it is the fastest way to control yourself. What else . Foosballs are great. Go punch it out. Go punch it out. Walk it out. These ones are so fun too. Ready made ones that are filled. But you can have your child put different emotions on them as they build up. Play ddoh for some little guys that still works for me. Every mom should have playdoh in their bag. Or how tired they are boredom, hunger, all predictables. Just leave them at home. Dont go to bloomingdales.
