thank god. now women s groups are giving him a big dressing down today, friday, october 7th, 2011. captions paid for by nbc-universal television good morning. welcome to today on a friday morning. i m matt lauer. and i m ann curry. good morning, everybody. we expect the parents of a missing baby to do everything they can to help find their child which is why it s so surprising police in kansas city, missouri, say the parents in this case stopped talking to them. they made that statement in a news conference last night and the irwin family was watching leading them to release a statement saying they have cooperative since day one. let s get right to nbc s peter alexander, in kansas city for the latest on the investigation. peter, good morning. reporter: matt, good morning to you. it is day four of this investigation and a lot has changed as you noted overnight. police now say that the parents of little lisa irwin are no longer cooperating with authorities, but the parents say they are cooperating, that they are available to talk with police, but they say authorities told lisa s mom that she failed a polygraph test, that police are trying to pit mother and father against one another and even accuse lisa s mother of trying to kill her daughter. just hours after lisa irwin s parents made yet another desperate plea for their daughter s safe return please bring her home. we need her. we are not a family without her. she s everything to us. reporter: this announcement from kansas city police. they ve been cooperating, its eight been very helpful. tonight they decided to stop talking to detectives and i don t have to illustrate how that, you know, affects the investigation. it speaks for itself. reporter: police would not offer details but now say lisa s parents, jeremy irwin and deborah bradley, are no longer working with investigators. they were maybe one of our best bets to help find this child, so yeah, our door is open and it doesn t help the investigation. reporter: but hours after the police announcement, jeremy s sister, baby lisa s aunt, spoke publicly on behalf of the family, denying they are not cooperating. we want the public to know we have never stopped cooperating with the police. we ve been cooperative from day one, and we continue to assist the police with the investigation. reporter: when we spoke to the couple thursday morning they were still searching for answers. the only thing i can think of is maybe somebody wanted a baby and she i hope that s what it is. reporter: lisa s parents also reveal new details about what they say happened early tuesday morning when jeremy says he returned from an overnight shift at 4:00 a.m. and first discovered his daughter missing. they say the front door was unlocked, a window open and the lights in the house were on. the parents also say three cell phones were gone, as was their 10-month-old daughter. it s like they just walked in and just disappeared. reporter: who would kidnap a baby? the national str fcenter for mi & exploited children say baby abductions are rare. normally it s taken from the hospital infant or passed off by its own. reporter: could the kidnaper have climbed into the house through the only window without a screen, walking down the hall, snatching baby lisa from her crib and slipping out, or did the intruder slip through the front door? investigators continue their frantic search thursday lifting manhole covers and returning to this deadly wooded area near the home to make sure they didn t miss any possible evidence. early i asked whether they had any involvement in their baby s disappearance. did you do anything with your daughter? god, no. reporter: jeremy? no. no. just need her back. please bring her home. reporter: police insist there are still no suspects in this case, that it is an active investigation, but matt, they took down the crime scene tape around the family s home late yesterday and also shut down their mobile command center that was only a short distance away. matt? peter alexander, thank you. lisa s parents, deborah bailey and jeremy irwin, are with us now. good morning to both of you. good morning. good morning. i have to say that unfortunately i have covered way too many of these cases over the years of missing children, abducted children, children who have gone missing for one reason or another and i have rarely seen the police come out and make a statement like the one they made yesterday, saying the parents have stopped cooperating, without having a reason to do so. so why do you think they ve made this statement? we were at the station yesterday, being interviewed again, and i just had reached my, i just had reached my boiling point and i asked them, i said, guys, i can t do this anymore today. i need a break. i can t answer any more questions. then we asked to leave, and then the next thing we knew, it was the press conference yesterday evening, so it was well talk to completely let s back up an hour. how would you describe the demeanor of the police prior to you reaching your breaking point and boiling point, was it an aggressive questioning? was there cooperation prior to that point? how were they treating you? how were you responding to them? yesterday, the gentleman that was interviewing me was very nice and once i expressed to him several times that i wanted to leave, he went ahead and let me go. the other day it was a little bit different story, but just, we just want to make sure that we tell everybody that we re, you know, we re still cooperating, we re still talking to the police. we re doing everything we can to try to find lisa and bring her back home. debby our number one focus is her above all else no matter what it s her. what was your experience with the police? what kind of questions were they asking you and what was the level of aggressiveness of those questions? they, the same thing, with jeremy, they were really nice yesterday, and but it wasn t like that the first time, and we understand that, we don t have any hard feelings. we re not mad. we know that this is what they have to do, so we totally understand. do you feel that in some ways by making this statement publicly, calling you out in some ways publicly, they are trying to pit one of you against the other? possibly. it doesn t we don t care. we don t care what anybody says or thinks or, we don t care what they think. i mean, our concern is to find lisa. to find our lisa and bring her home, because that s what we want, and i don t care what we have to go tlou ghrough to get . a couple other direct questions. have both of you taken lie detector tests, polygraphs, as part of this investigation. i have. i volunteered. what were the results of that? i have not. they said that i failed, and i continued to say that s not possible. because i don t know where she s at. i did not do this, and did they say specifically what question you may failed on? i don t remember which one it was, but they just kept saying i failed, i failed and i said that s not possible, and i mean, what do you say when someone tells you that and you know you didn t do anything. jeremy you have not taken a polygraph? what could i say? no. i have not. have you been asked to? would you be willing to? i have not been asked to. i d be willing to do whatever it takes to bring my daughter, lisa, home, where she belongs, if that s what it takes, that s what we can do. but we re still looking for her. let me ask you one blunt question, jeremy, when you look at debby, do you have any suspicions there s anything she s not telling you relating to the disappearance of lisa? none whatsoever. none whatsoever. we ve been asked that millions of times, and there s no doubt in my mind that she had anything there s no way she could have had anything at all. and debby, the same question for you on jeremy, do you have any doubt in your mind that he hasn t told you something? no. he s a good father, and he s good to me, and he loves her, and everybody loves her, but, no. there s no way. we don t know, which is why we need everybody to continue to look for her, and help us in any way that they can, and because she s, we want her home. we can t do this alone. we need everybody s help. and we appreciate everything that the police department has done. we appreciate everything that everybody has done. this is not, we are not angry. we are not we, we just want our daughter home. that is the only thing that we care about. i don t care what is said. that s all we want done, and we want to thank everybody who has helped us so far, and the fbi, the kansas city police department, all of the search and rescue, the center for missing children. there s been some amazing people that have just come out of nowhere and put time in looking for her. right. we are extremely grateful, and we just ask that everybody please continue to look for her, and pray for her safe return. i just want to say in closing that i know it s a difficult time and as a parent i apologize for having to ask some of the questions that we ask, but as you know, that s part of a situation when a child goes missing, and we hope the best for lisa s speedy return. deborah and jeremy, thank you very much. thank you for having us. thank you. and now here s ann. all right, matt, thank you so much. now let s make a turn to politics and president obama s full court press to build support for his jobs plan. this as the protest that started on wall street over corporate greed are spreading from new york to cities all across this country. chuck todd is nbc s chief white house correspondent. good morning. reporter: good morning, ann. the president has been pulling out all the stops, done speeches in swing states, news conferences and later today he s enlisting secretary of state hillary clinton. in his latest attempt to create a sense of urgency that will urge congress to pass i had jobs bill the president tried another tactic, a white house news conference. what i ve tried to do is say here are the best ideas i ve heard, not just from partisans, but from independent economists. these are the ideas most likely to create jobs now and strengthen the economy right now. pass the bill. reporter: the president has tried a number of ways to rally public support for his $450 billion jobs bill. debate this bill, pass it, get it to my desk. reporter: polls show he s still struggling. there s nothing radical in this proposal. there may be some skepticism that i personally can persuade republicans to take actions in the interests of the american people. that s exactly why i need the american people to try to put some pressure on them. reporter: but the pressure was applied to him as well thursday, when the wall street protest came to washington. where are the jobs? reporter: but he tried to empathize with them. i think people are frustrated and you know the protesters are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration about how our financial system works. reporter: the vice president compared this protest movement to the tea party. the tea party started why? t.a.r.p. they thought it was unfair, we re bailing out the big guys. what are the people up there on the other end of the political spectrum, saying the same thing. reporter: he said that could translate at the polls next year. the american people are dissatisfied for the state of the nation at the moment. that all by itself is enough to make you the underdog. is it strong enough of a republican party for its nominee to beat this president. ? oh, absolutely, absolutely, it s strong enough to beat both of us. reporter: more on this hillary clinton event, there is a jobs council meeting that s something that the president usually chairs, well, secretary of state hillary clinton is chairing it today, the topic how to get more foreign investment into the united states so that s the hook to include who is now the very popular secretary of state. ann? chuck todd, thank you. david gregory, moderate of meet the press. good morning. good morning. i don t think anybody s trying to sugar coat how vulnerable the president is because of this economy. it is what it is. the historical headwinds for this president and vice president as they position themselves for re-election, they say we have a better approach in a difficult economy, a better approach than the republicans who as the vice president noted would still be strong enough to defeat the president under the circumstances. the vice president used underdog. is it possible this is part of an administration strategy to mobilize its base? i think it is. there s no question they re trying to communicate as chuck just mentioned the urgency of getting out and mobilizing the vote. they know that they need young people, minority voters, they need the key elements of their base to come out strong and latino voters, they have to rely on the elements of the base when they know there s a lot of middle of the road voters who are not going to vote for this president perhaps just because of the economy, and if there s no movement, the president doesn t really expect that he s going to get this full jobs bill through. so there s not a lot of movement. they at least have to rely on the idea there will be an alternative. meantime, newt gingrich earlier this week described this anti-wall street movement, this occupy wall street movement, suggests it should be seen as a black mark on president obama s record. is there a lesson for the democrats for the president in how the republicans dealt with the tea party in terms of how the president could maybe mobilize these anti-wall street demonstrators? well, you raise a key point. how does the president try to harness this anger, this sense of unfairness about the economy, about income and equality in this country, about the middle class, stagnating for the past years. it manifests what people are anxious and angry about but at the same time it allows the president to drive a populous message. the vice president, too, talking about banks being part of the problem, complaining about the fees that bank of america is charging on atm use. here the president wants to say look, i m on the side of the middle class here. i want more fairness in our country. the republicans want to take you backward. fresh from your interview with the vice president, good one by the way, you ll be in chicago and i understand you ve got some special guests there? we ll be talking about the economy with rahm emanuel, former chief of staff of the president and now mayor of chicago, also paul ryan. a special edition from chicago sunday. meet the press david gregory thank you so much. let s swing over to the news desk. savannah is in one more time for natalie with the headlines. good morning again, everybody. wall street all eyes on the new unemployment numbers out today. mandy drury is at the new york stock exchange this morning. good morning. good morning and happy friday. yes, the september jobs report is the biggest focus here on the home front, as it sheds light on just how strong all week the labor market is right now and remember, back in august, there was zero net new jobs created. as for what s happening on the stock market, well we ve had a pretty good rally over the past three days and the s&p index returned to 6% so we wonder, can we stretch it to four days?

absolutely. gary has been consistent and truthful from the very beginning, and he s going to continue to be truthful and he s doing his best to get through this. it s a nightmare. it s a complete and total nightmare. reporter: investigators say the re-enactment confirms their belief that gary giordano is not telling the truth. gary, over here! reporter: giordano s lawyer believes his client is being punished because police in aruba never solved the mystery of natalie holloway. she s the alabama teenager who came here to aruba on a high school graduation trip in 2005 and never returned. the case made international headlines. no one was ever charged, and her body was never found. gary is not joran van der sloot, and robyn gardner is not natalee holloway. these are different people with different situations and gary should not have to pay for what law enforcement or the government did here or did not do in another case. reporter: now one more thing we ve learned here, the prosecutor s office tells me evidence teches have processed the rental car that giordano and gardner used during their time in aruba. unfortunately they weren t able to get to the car before it had been turned back into the rental car agency, which means the car had been cleaned before techs went over. it is difficult to get blood stains out of anything. luminol was used and the word from the prosecutors said there was no blood detected in the car. gary giordano continues to say there was no crime, there is nothing wrong. the investigation continues. thank you so much. a programming note to tell you on dateline a young woman s strange disappearance with a train. now to a senate battle in massachusetts that s turning personal and the controversy stems from the incumbent s nude photo spret nearly 30 years ago. nbc s capitol hill correspondent kelly o donnell has the details on this. kelly, good morning. reporter: good morning, matt. not every senate race gets this kind of national attention but consider that scott brown has often been named the most popular elected official in massachusetts, according to polls, so it was only a matter of time before that centerfold from way back when would become an issue and a punchline in 2012. well, it started, the insults have begun in massachusetts. rarely do two simple words cause such an uproar. thank god. reporter: was that just a snappy comeback or a personal insult from republican senator scott brown aimed as potential democratic challenger elizabeth warren. it all goes back to this in 1982 brown bared it all for cosmopolitan magazine. he said he needed the money for tuition. you were a cosmo guy. i ll never confess, a photo that won t ever go away. this week in a democrat s debate that nude centerfold was mentioned in a question to warren. to help pay for his law school education, scott brown posed for cosmo. how did you pay for your college education? i kept my clothes on. reporter: brown s campaign says warren s answer was offensive and an insult. on a bozston radio show wednesday the senator jabbed back. have you officially responded to elizabeth warren s comment about how she didn t take her clothes off? thank god. reporter: some democrats and women s groups angrily said the comment was more suited to a frat house and a dig at warren s appearance. a race getting personal. i m not sure that elizabeth warren s remark was entirely innocent but there s been a real towel snapping to scott brown s campaign so far. reporter: brown s upset victory to succeed ted kennedy stunned democrats who want desperately to knock him out in 2012. warren, who worked for the obama administration as a consumer watch dog, has never run for office before. i m going to do this. i m going to run for the united states senate. reporter: brown s campaign labeled warren elitist. he defended his 8 80s centerfied in the interview. let them throw stones. reporter: thursday warren brushed it off. you don t care to dive into the waters? i ll survive. she says i ll survive. there are six democrats trying to win the nomination to challenge scott brown and elizabeth warren is just one of those. there were a couple of women in the senate republicans who did back up scott brown. kelly ayott of new hampshire and susan collins of maine said no one should make fun of how he had to pay for school because he had a humble background. kelly, thank you very much. let s get a check of the weather from al. beautiful morning. 37 and 33rd birthday, where is mom?

probably for chris to pick up his clothes off the floor, like your typical issues. you didn t know that before you got married he was a guy who was going to throw his dirty underpants in the corner? i think he was acting like he was such a clean, neat person and i was acting like oh i ll clean up if you leave it on the floor, don t worry, i ll fold it. now it s like all bets are off, guard is down. yes. but he s treating you withal in a month and a half?

just that he s such a good person, and you know, we re just having a really good time. i mean i think our adjustment to living, we never lived together before we got married, so we learned a lot about each other. what is he learning about you? probably that i am so ocd, like a neat freak that it s probably so annoying. you ve mentioned swomewhere, if you marry you, you marry the whole kardashian family. its eight a nice family, you g guys have been here all week long but it s not that easy for an outsider. we are filming kourtney and kim take new york and living in one sweet with kourtney, scott and mason. we have the whole upstairs to ourselves but it s definitely probably not your ideal living situation for newlyweds. he s a real hero. yes. baaing to tck to the wedding reports that mason, who is kourtney s son. my nephew, yes. stole the show. he absolutely did. he is so cute and i didn t know this but when kourtney was walking down the aisle she tripped and she grabbed him and mason took the willow, ran to kourtney and then ran back to scott. as she was walking back down she tripped down the aisle and everyone went oh! so cute this little kid. every wedding there s one guest where the morning after the wedding the husband and wife wake up and say why did we invite that person?

reporter: josey ratley is alive today is perhaps a miracle. she was 15 years old when wayne tracy viciously beat her senseless, repeatedly kicking her in the head with steel towed boots. josey was left brain damaged. i only wanted to yell at her and when i saw her everything just reporter: wayne admitted his actions and when left alone in the interrogation rooms he scolded himself in the person. you re stupid and you re going to hell. it s your fault. reporter: he s charged with attempted murder in the first degree and faces 30 years in prison. until now the only story that s been told is wayne was home sick getting text messages from someone at school he had never met. wayne had shown up at the end of the school day in a rage to exact revenge for what was in the messages. his close friend, kayla manson, 13 years old pointed out her best friend, josey. kayla denies she did anything criminal. documents from the investigation revealed the full exchange of text messages, for two hours 15 minutes the back and forth, josie why do you like little girls, rapist? wayne, i will mess you up. you will regret crossing me. josie, ha, ha, i bet you don t know. when josie texted just go visit your dead brother. it s a bullying situation? who is the bully? who started the nasty e-mails? i believe josie bullied wayne. she s the bully? i believe she did. this week, wayne s lawyer filed an insanity defense, and the prosecutor stunned the courtroom when she said josie s condition had improved to the point she now has the ability to answer lawyers questions in a deposition. she is not 100%, i don t think josie will ever be 100% but she is doing amazingly well. reporter: and now there s this revealing fact that we found buried in court documents, the steel towed boots wayne wore that day, the shorts, pants and jewelry he put on, all of it belonged to his dead mother, michael, who had committed suicide. wayne discovered his brother, his idol, hanging from a tree just five months before this text message attack. he ran over to her, and like all noise stopped. he just did not know what he was doing at that time and became very angry and it just escalated and built upon itself. reporter: if those text messages are the trigger, are you blaming the victim? when the bully becomes the victim the bully disappears. reporter: wayne s stepfather and mother it hurts. reporter: say but for that text message visiting his dead brother none of this would have happened. in a letter he writes i hate that i did that to someone, especially a girl. i would want her to say to wayne i m sorry. do you have any sympathy for josie and her condition in. i know she ll get better by god. i believe that. reporter: we couldn t interview wayne tracy because he s in jail, but in that letter to nbc news he does write if my brother hadn t killed himself and i hadn t seen him like that, i wouldn t be in jail right now. more importantly, josie wouldn t be hurt. we reached out to josie s attorney, who issued a statement which said in part, this is a classic blame the victim situation. ann? kerry sanders, thank you so much. wayne tracy s mother, donna powers is joining us exclusively along with her son s defense attorney russell williams. go morning to both of you. good morning. it was hard for you to watch that tape. yes, it is. you are here to fight for your son, wayne? absolutely. even though it s a tough time. it s very tough. his 17th birthday is tomorrow, he s going to spend it in solitary confinement and also monday is the anniversary of your other son s suicide. yes, it is. yet here you are and i wonder if you could tell us about this letter that we ve been hearing about, that wayne sent to one of our producers. he expressed regret for what he did to josie but he said my brother was the father figure in my life. i took his suicide a lot harder than i thought. i thought i could suppress it and move on and not deal with it. the image of him is still with me. i think about it every day. do you believe that he was in such a state of rage that you can understand to some degree the intensity of his emotions that day? give me a minute here to get it together. he was in a state where the wayne tracy that donna as a mother knew wasn t him. it was not wayne tracy at the time. it was somebody else. he wasn t in his right mind. see, michael was his best friend. wayne, it was like a mentor to wayne. and now we were hurting, we were both hurting. i didn t realize now today how much it had affected him. you say that while you feel sorry for what s happened to josie, you also feel that she bullied wayne. it s very horrible what they went through, and it s horrible where my son and what he s going through. i don t know josie. i don t know her family, and to say she s a bully may not be the correct words, you know? i just feel when this texting was going on, she knew what happened to michael and for them to text and wayne asked her stop, please don t go this way, to send such cruel messages, it s mean. it s horrible. i don t know if that s a bully. maybe she antagonized him for edged him on. i don t know the right word there. the attorney representing the family is saying this is a classic blame the victim kind of scenario, and in this position you re taking, russell, that this was an act of insanity, and as a result wayne should be innocent, isn t an insanity defense dependent upon having something happen like this? this attack happened four hours after this text message, and also on top of that, he had told his friends what he was going to do. that s a part of the associative disorder that the doctor has, the experts have talked about, and based upon the disassociation disorder, that s what basically occurred, lack disorder, that s what basically occurred, lack of memory, awareness, identity perception. saury we re out of time. this was a news4 news break. good morning to you. i am eun yang. let s go to our meteorologist, veronica johnson with the forecast. i think we will like it. we are continuing with the unbelievable nice stretch of weather. we have not had anything like this since mid-summer. we are in the 50s right now. and calm wind outside and for today we will warm up fast, probably about 60 some degrees by noon, and then going for a high of 75. look at the weekend. this weekend, 78 to 80 degrees. nice and toasty. good morning. traveling 395 north in the hov lanes, as you pass seminary road you will see a disabled vehicle in the right lane, and seeing contestion on the 14th bridge. for now, back to the today show after this short break. we will see 8:30 now on a friday morning, tgif, everybody, the seventh day of october, 2011, and guess what?

did you no he that? did not know that. we re shrinking as we stand here. we ll get to the bottom as to what is causing this and what we can do to stop it. gravity. i think yoga might help. it s the shrinkage, jerry. very cold out here. let s go inside to the studio where savannah guthrie filling in for natalie with the headlines. all eyes on the economy as the september unemployment report is released. the labor department says the u.s. economy added 103,000 jobs in september. however, that was not enough to lower the unemployment rate, which remains at 9.1%. and nearly half of those gains came from striking verizon workers returning to their jobs. the parents of a missing baby girl in missouri denied today that they have stopped cooperating with police. on thursday, kansas city investigators said jeremy irwin and deborah bradley refused to answer any more questions. nbc s peter alexander has more from kansas city this morning. peter, good morning. reporter: savannah, good morning to you. day four of this investigation to try to find this 10-month-old baby lisa irwin and a lot changed overnight. for one, police as you noted said that the parents of lisa are no longer cooperating with them but we spoke to the parents and they said they are, in fact, cooperating, and willing to again meet with police at some point. that hasn t happened yet. what they have taken issue with is the way the interrogations have gone so far. lisa s mother said police told here she failed a polygraph test. the parents said police have tried to pit mother against father and even accuse lisa s mother of having to do with the disappearance. here the crime scene tape is down at the family s home and police have shut down their mobile command center. they say the search process will continue but only as they follow leads, at this time, there s still no suspects. savannah? peter alexander on the story for us, thank you. earlier on today, matt asked the child s parents if they had any doubts about each other s involvement in the baby s disappearance. none whatsoever. on whatsoever. we ve been asked that mlsz of times and there s no doubt in my mind that she had anything, there s no way she couldn t have had anything at all. debby, the same question for you and jeremy. did you have any doubt in your mind that he hasn t told you something? no. he s a good father and he s good to me, and he loves her and everybody loves her, but no. there s no way. we don t know, which is why we need everybody to continue to look for her. police have not yet named a suspect in lisa s disappearance. today marks ten years since the start of the war in afghanistan, the longest war in u.s. history. to date more than 1,800 u.s. soldiers have died and more than 13,000 have been wounded. the war on the taliban and al qaeda cost american taxpayers more than $400 billion and afghan stability remains fragile. nato has plans to hand security control over to afghans is on track for the end of 2014. blood tests checking for prostate cancer will no longer be part of routine cancer screenings, the government panel said to recommend that next week, the same task force that took criticism back in 2009 for telling women in their 40s to forego annual mammograms. the report is set for release early this week. the routine prostate screenings do not protect the severity of a potential cancer and often lead to needless treatments that cause more harm. one in six men in the u.s. will eventually develop prostate cancer and more than 200,000 received that diagnosis last year alone. and finally, how do bears get ready to hibernate?

is there anything we can do about it? dr. rashini raj, why does this happen? a little bit of shrinking is a normal part of aging. three things, basically, one is thats with we age and the discs between our vertebrae tend to lose fluid and your vertebrae comes together. your arches of your feet tend to flatten and we lose muscle mass particularly in our abdomen, which leads to poorer posture. you say it s natural but how much is natural to lose? on average about a quarter to third of an inch per decade every decade about 40. for when 1.75 inches, for women two inches by the time they reach 70. sounds there are some things that exacerbate the losing of your height. what are they? sure, if you are losing more than that rate we just described it could be a sign of osteoporosis and this is the major fear here because this refers to very weak or brittle bones that make you more prone to fractures. if you re losing height more rapidly you should talk to your doctor about getting scanned. because if you get it, you can be treated for it so you don t develop a fracture which can be devastating. there are social habits that might contribute. what are some of those? smoking is probably the number one thing that s not good for your bones, excessive alcohol use, excessive caffeine, not exercises, these are all things which make you more prone to losing height and more prone for osteoporosis. how much of this are we talking about, how much caffeine to have an impact do we have any idea about that? for alcohol if you re drinking more than two drinks a day. smoking any amount of smoking is not good for your bones and caffeine it has to be excessive, so you know, five, six cups a day and also certain medications can make your bones weaker so taking steroids, certain anti-seizure medicines. be careful, talk to your doctor if you re on one of the medicines to be checked earlier. the losing of height happens to men and women. right. happens differently as you mentioned? exactly. for men it s less prominent, so for men because they tend to have more muscle mass and bones tend to be more general, it could be a sign of east yo pro sis and one study linked it to heart disease. men who notice they are getting shorter should be screened for heart disease as well as osteoporosis. there are some things you can do to stave them up, not so much da even if and alcohol, lay off the cigarettes. are there any good healthy habits you could introduce that might help so that we don t lose as much height? exercise is the number one and you really want to be exercising throughout your life but it s never too late to exercise and we re talking here about weight bearing exercises, jogging, running, because that will really help strengthen your bones and continue to keep them healthy as you age. the other thing is making sure your diet is very rich in vitamin d and calcium. calcium is not just in a lot of dairy products, it s in almonds, broccoli, kale. you want to get that into your diet and if you can t, you talk to your doctor about supplementation. this is something worth talking about. a lot of times people wonder if they re getting the same nutritional impact if they take a supplement versus naturally. you often absorb more if you get it through food but can take a supplement if you re not getting it through food. the other thing is maintaining a good posture can help keep your bones strong and healthy. make sure the belly is in, the chin is up and head is held high, that will keep your bones healthy and not put as much stress on your vertebrae. you mentioned the weight bearing exercises. you said your core strength is important but your legs, your arms, everything? yeah but mostly the legs and the hips in this scenario, so jogging, walking, anything that s putting stress, usually we don t want to stress our knees too much. you need to put a little stress on it to keep your bones strong. anybody ever get taller with age? i hope not myself but okay. all right, thank you so much. dr. raj, interesting information, appreciate it. sure. coming up, the must have wardrobe accessories for fall, and later, one young lady who always knows how to accessory, kim kardashian getting ared to co-host the next hour of the today show. go-gurt?

[ male announcer ] fiber beyond recognition. fiber one. this morning on bobbi s style buzz hot autumn accents. today style fashion contributor bobbie, good morning. good morning. i ve picked one up. yes the cape. i have to be honest i was going to avoid it because i thought all looked like i should pitch a tent in the backyard and stand there. how do you make it not tent like? there are so many different tapes. a tailored one like yours is helpful because you keep it sleek with the shoulders lean and something underneath that s belted. it shows off your shape. you re both wearing capes from new york and company and tamika has the shirt cape on it. it s over an everyday outfit just like the jacket and the belt anchoring her at the waist. the rouching. sorry, i didn t mean to poke you. you want details based on the body type. if you turn an it s really flattering, not a big tent. and i love on judy if you see something in a more casual cape, tends to look like a blanket but i am guilty of wearing a blanket like i told you. she, literally a blanket but that s another segment for another time. squjudy had a great cape. the trick, belt one side. that creates shape but lets you just let it lean off the shoulder and also won t fall off. if you want to take that cape off i can show you when people see these in a store they re not a scarf. they actually are sort of like a blanket with a notch in them. could you model, if you had a really big scarf? you could do it with what i m going to show you next, a snoog. what i like about this kind of cape is that you want to make sure anything with a pattern doesn t hit you at the widest part of your body. it s really great when it s lower, she has fantastic legs but keeps it lean and underneath make sure you keep your silhouette fitted. lean legs or tamika has a little leg showing. penciled leggings, skinny jeans and this is good to go. this is dkny cape dress. that s awesome. it s inspired by dkny. introduce us to the snood. this is something women in factories wouy sies would wear hair. they can be worn eight different ways. american apparel shows you on their website all of the ways. you can double it in a necklace or make it like a regular scarf, a hood, you could shimmy it down. you could belt it. and you want to get super creative make it like a dress. they sell over 40 colors for under $30, there are a bunch of styles and essentially you can look for eternity scarves or circle scarves. the next trend is sweater tights great for warmth. why do you like these? so many girls want to know how to transition their summer dresses. you into ed to add something that looks cozy, warmth and practical. i love hue, they have sophisticated not just teenager patterns but sophisticate patterns. and this is just a little sparkle or openness for the office and not too much of a wild pattern. about a minute left we have hiker booties. who would thought those two trends would go together. jennifer aniston and we also have julianne moore wearing these out and about in cool ways. it s a modern update. just like in the summer you look for your wedge, this is a comfortable way to wear this. all of these from piper line. if you want a flat you could go for a loafer. we have the lovely models here. barbara, in the courdes, you can wear this on the weekend, if you want to match the color to your pant leg, and on nancy you can wear this to work. this is a dreg, you can wear to the office, especially when it gets cooler and wear the heeled hiker boot, gives it more poll ishl and much more comfortable than stillettos. thank you so much. we have delicious appetizers from one of l.a. s best restaurants, but first, this is today on nbc.

what do we have over here? a little herb salad with chives and tarragon, celery, onions, great texture. salt. and the right flavors and here is my pesto. you add the pesto? actually the vinaigrette and pesto on the baratta. what is the difference between baratta and regular mozzarella? baratta is the strands of mozzarella and cream and a casing of mozzarella stretched over it. see that beautiful bright salad. you re going to put the pesto on top, right? no. not yet. baratta. i love pesto. if you can t find the baratta, you can use mozzarella. or you can lighten up some ricotta with olive oil. beautiful. love the color. what do we have next? here is my favorite salad of the pizzeria, called nancy s chopped salad. how fitting. iceberg, riticchione, cherry toe mate toes, pepper and cheese. supposed to taste like the antipasto platter. this is provolone and hard salami. when y cop it up the salad has more flavor because the sides melt together. we have this fantastic bread. toss it and it s good to go? and sprinkle a generous amount of fresh oregano on the top. what do we have here? this is the cover of my book, mozza capresce, you can eat all year round, the tomatoes are dried in the oven, very sweet. i serve fetuta, a slice of bread grilled and doused in olive oil. and you grill it and brush with olive oil, grill it, rub it with garlic and douse it in olive oil. a little bodouse?

yes. how have you adjusted? are you spending more time together, you re living together and stuff. we are living together now for the first time. i don t know if it s the wisest choice to come up to new york and move in with kim khloe and kourtney and mason. could watch mason all day long. when you see images of yourself right before you get married, what do you think looking at these? i am such a perfectionist, i think i wish the runner was black with white trim so you could see how gorgeous that vera wang train was. you re ocd anal about details? i m so ocd crazy. how does kris handle that? it probably drives him crazy. i learned a lot about him moving in together. what have you learned? just, you know, i m such an ocd freak. seeing the piles of clothes everywhere, i freak out every morning. this is what a hamper is for. at the beginning, you used to fold it all for me. that was six weeks ago. the party s over. the party s over. before you got married you were living together getting in the groove. let s watch this. okay. you know what another one of my pet peeves are, someone who brushes their teeth so hard they make the entire mirror all was that me? no. that was the alien that came in. that is my side, but i ll give it to you. oh, my god. come on, boy. no. they cannot sleep on my bed. kris, they are not allowed in my bed. does the dog sleep in the bed? oh, yes. yes. you lost that fight? no i m so glad you re agreeing with me. that is my biggest argument. i m such a neat freak. how do you have two dogs, two, not one, two dogs sleep in the bed after they ve been running around licking and slurping and going to the bathroom and god only knows what, then come in the bed and try to sleep with us under the covers, snuggle with us? i love dogs. of course you do. but there is some kind of line. i lost it. before the wedding, i lost it. here is another thing. there was a big discussion about you changing your name. were you going to change it to humphries or keep kardashian. let s watch this one. i want you to sign right here and your maiden name. she doesn t want to change her name right now? a part of me thought kim was going to change her name for the marriage license. at this point, i feel like i m not even getting married and i just don t care. i have kardashian on all my kardashian stuff. stay kardashian. okay. wait. that was a big that was a decision i decided, a lot of my companies, like my sears kardashian collection, my kim kardashian, the name kardashian in a lot of my businesses, so i just felt like, you know and kim kardashian-humphries is really long. how did you know after only knowing him for such a short period of time he was the right guy to marry? you know when you i m the biggest hopeless romantic. there is a calmness i get from kris that i can trust him 100%. it s really hard to trust people. you just, when you know, you know. if you read any of these magazines, first of all, i don t know what you think every time you open one. let s set the record straight trivia game thing. first of all it says here, her sisters hate kris. do your carrs hate kris humphries? they do not hate kris. i have to admit there is a lot of tension there was before the wedding. khloe and kris went at it a little bit. they have the same personality. khloe is outspoken and she ll say something and kris is just as outspoken. he ll say something back. i think everyone gets offended because khloe is really sensitive even though she doesn t seem like she is. she seems like a tough girl, but she isn t. she is so not to the core. kris family hates kim. does his family like you or not like you? they do. we get along really well. they are sweechlt they are from minnesota. i don t get to see them all the time. how about this one, all the kardashian couples fight like crazy? no. wait a minute. khloe and mark don t. kourtney and scott have their fair share of arguments, but they have a good relationship. people see all the craze aniness and arguing. you ve been married five weeks. marriage in crisis. we don t wear our rings all the time. i think that is kris doesn t like to wear a ring and he hasn t gotten used to it. i m totally fine with that. i don t wear a ring when i go to the gym. is that the craziest thing? it s like my marriage is in crisis because i m not wearing my ring at the gym. this is the most important one at all. it s baby time. unfortunately, i am well, fortunately for us right now, we don t know where he is going to end up signing with another team. we just want to wait about a year before we start trying. you wouldn t move to would you move to, let s say, minnesota or somewhere like that, would you? you re going to live in l.a. i m going to mainly live in l.a. that s home for me. that s where i work. wherever he signs, i have to share my time there and be back and forth. we ll figure it all out. the reason by the way, this big fairy tale wedding is october 9th at 8:00 eastern. it s a two-day deal, isn t it? it s two parters. yeah. i m ashamed of myself and kim today. we were on the plaza earlier and there was a game where they had a beer stein holding contest. the first one to drop her beer mug, and this is five pounds, you had to hold it up straight was i thought it was nine pounds. that s what everybody says. and she is down. kim is down. i almost went down but i had to tough it out because i saw jana. i had to get out of that. i think we were up for 30 seconds. that was it. it s a lot harder than it looks, i have to say. it is. we ve been quizzing your mom, your sisters and bruce about kris humphries. yes. now we re going to quiz you. oh. ready?
