tested for ebola. we're expected to have the results within the next 12 hours. robin? >> he could be released later today. thank you very much. dr. richard besser is here. this is such a hot topic. these restrictions. what this nurse is facing. your take? >> i think it's unnecessary. i've been texting with kaci. there have been hundreds of health care workers who have gone and taken care of patients. and there's never been one, not one, who spread it to anyone when they returned. that's because they know how to take their temperature. i worry this will discourage people from going over there to work to knock out ebola. that's what will make it safer here. we need these people to do this work. >> you say that. people in new york city see the bowling alley where the doctor was, shut down. the meatball shop where he was, shut down. and people are saying, if there's no fear, why are these steps being taken? >> i think that's a good question. they are mixed messages. you can't say dr. spencer posed no risk and treat every place

he's been to like it's risky. because it wasn't risky. you hear the politicians saying we're doing this out of an abundance of caution, when do you that, you notify hundreds of people on an airplane, or a cruise ship, or meatball shop, it scares people. it doesn't reassure them because those settings were not risky and you have to treat them that way. >> politicians and medical experts are not on the same page at all. the cdc is now, and constantly changing the guidelines. they're saying there will be daily monitoring of anyone coming back from west africa. >> i think this is a middle ground. it will reassure people to know that every day, these people will be in touch with someone from public health, checking their temperature. if they have an elevated temperature, they can be taken in and tested and evaluated. that way, again, they can't spread it at that point. it will keep people safe. hopefully, they'll sleep better. >> i know. there's still so many question and you can understand the public being concerned. you'll be on twitter, dr. richard besser, taking questions right now. all right. let's take this to the white house. president obama meeting with his

especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures.

those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. if we focusede nice less on the number and more on how the fit makes us feel? start your day bursting with real berries. and slip into size sassy. with special k. i thought "so what?", but now "cai can't stop playing.rst that's not how it works. i mean it's so simple. it's like my car insurance. i saved 15% in fifteen minutes. well esurance could have saved you money in half that time. three in a row! sweet! 15 minutes for a quote isn't so sweet. level 2! start with a quote from esurance and you could save money on car insurance in half the time. welcome to the modern world. esurance, backed by allstate. click or call.

can self-quarantine at home. and after the attack on parliament. new questions about security. what happen happened. a man ran up to the prime minister and collided with him on a sidewalk. turns out he was just a jogger and there's no threat. he has now been released. and a second teen victim has guyed after the shooting in washington state. the family of gia soriano, died from her injuries overnight. beginning today, millions of americans can use an at-home test to screen for colon cancer. the new test is less expensive and less invasive than a colonoscopy. some people will need the colonoscopy if the results come back positive. colin cancer, by the way, is a second leading cause of cancer death in the united states. the actress best known for playing the wife on "welcome back kotter" has died. marcia strassman recently appeared with us right here on "gma" during a cast reunion. she'll be remembered as rick

moranis' wife in "honey i shrunk the kids." she died after a long battle with breast cancer. marcia strassman was only 66. a close call for a kayaker in north carolina. he flipped over in a river, and his head became lodged between two rocks with the water flowing on to his face. other kayakers sprang into action, quickly dislodging his head, pulled him to safety before he browned. and finally, some tourists on safari in africa got a lesson they will never forget. don't get in the way of a thirsty elephant. yes, that woman is screaming at the top of her lungs. as i would have been doing as well. the elephant charged the jeep after it blocked its watering hole. one of the women screaming. luckily, the elephant gave up the chase. before anyone got hurt. looks like that jeep went a little faster than the elephant could run. >> that elephant was pretty fast. >> pretty fast. >> thanks, amy. we have some health news

now. it will make some chocolate lovers happy. a compound in chocolate can help reverse memory loss in older adults. dr. richard besser is back to talk about this. this is the first study. we should say it's funded by mars in part. they, of course, make chocolate bar, but there's some promise here. >> it's interest. it's promising. i'm a big chocolate eater. i love it. >> that much? >> we'll get to that. but, they've been looking for years for ways to reverse or prevent the age-associated decline in memory. we all have that. we forget things. they found in animals, this flavonol, this compound in chocolate, can increase the blood flow to the part of the brain that's related to memory. in animals it was effective. they tried it in small groups of people and found people who had high dietary intake of flavonos remembered more and the brain activity increased. >> how much chocolate are we talking about? >> every night, i have a little

piece of dark chocolate. you would have to have 20 chocolate bars a day. a day to take in enough flavonols as they have in the study. it's not the milk chocolate that so many people like. that would hit the waistline. that would hit diabetes and other things. >> there's no flavonol in the milk chocolate? >> there is. but just a little. you want the level above 85%. yeah, so it's a lot. >> what if we don't want to enjoy the dark chocolate. not a fan, but want those flavonols, what can we eat? all of these foods, onion, apple, red grapes. they all have flavonols. if you want to get them in your diet. they are all good foods for you anyway. again, there's a lot more work. this was to set up a bigger study. they want to see, can this work. you could take out the flavonols and give it in a capsule form. but for now, dark chocolate is still a wonderful thing. not this much. >> if it could come in a capsule form. like fish oil. you could get it that way. >> i'm going to save this for later. >> how do people maintain

doing so well. it's number one on itunes. but first we have -- >> we do have "pop news," don't we? yay. monday edition. and we begin with this. l'oreal paris is deemed fit for a queen. as in an actress queen. helen mirren one of the new faces for the beauty brand. she got the gig after serious testing. l'oreal executives found she ranked number one in several surveys. age, people, just a number, so clearly. women consumers found her most appealing. participants saying her looks only seem to improve with the passing of time. in a statement about the new gig, she said she hoped to inspire women to be confident about their natural looks. she said putting on the corporate hat, we're all worth it. >> she does wear that gray hair so beautifully. so elegant. >> her aura is delicious. >> she carries herself. >> that's what it's all about.

i think it's a great choice, l'oreal, for whatever that's worth. puppies with a serious purpose. the nonprofit group, the canine war -- warrior canine connection held the graduation ceremony in maryland over the weekend. just love this group. they celebrate the placement of six more dogs into the work force, ready to serve their duty, helping injured combat veterans. the class of 2014, all of them golden retrievers and labs, will assist their human partners, many of them suffer from ptsd. and would not be able to leave the house if it were not for their dog. they help others that have lost a limb, fetch medicines for them, assist in daily life. the other thing is a potential career path for the veterans who will become service dog trainers. congratulations to the veterans and to the dogs. >> cannot say enough about that program.

>> good one. >> you can learn a lot from youtube, as we do, i feel, every day. this morning, epic examples of fishing dos and don'ts. first, here's what happens on a beautiful weekend like we just had. you want to get outside. perhaps you want to fish, you don't have the equipment. so you use a makeshift thing. see, sir, that is why a longer pole is essential. >> what? >> let it go! >> that's not what you do. here's what you do do. please, switch the video quickly. >> that can't be real. >> it's very real. now, this, sir, is what i recommend you do. this bird has a piece of bread and he just very slowly -- he puts it out there -- and, voila! >> that is a really smart bird. >> if you watch the video, it took him about ten minutes. he would put the bread out, not let the fish get the bait. until the fish got closer and closer. patiently waiting like a little wiley rascal. and, voila. that was my lesson for today.

so-called back-burners, are through text messaging, facebook, social media. >> are these people you knew long ago? >> they're like backup plans. >> friends with benefits? oh, who wouldn't want to be called the backup plan? >> yeah, plan "b." whoo. >> i know, really. so that says social media is helping in that regard. >> good to know. and also in the news this morning, on the "heat index" george and amal clooney. still celebrating nearly a month after tying the knot. i mean, who can blame them. life is good. the bride's family hosted the post wedding party i told you all about in "pop news" last week. it happened this weekend outside london at a very fancy report. >> on the thames? >> yes. right on the thames. >> boy, look at that. >> it was a private residence now, it was a very fancy resort. the couple arrived together, amal wearing a gold metallic gown. with more than 200 guests

attending. apparently, not a lot of celebrities. it was mostly her side of the family, and personal friends from the other side of the pond. george played bartender. going from table to table to meet every person there and also fill up empty glasses. >> and probably passing out tequila, too. >> and i'm sure, selling casa miga. is that it? i don't know. every time i drink it, one glass and whoo. i don't think they were taking selfies there at that gathering. but this at&t commercial got us thinking. take a look. >> my selfie just hit 100 likes. 100! >> he does that. that brings us to "the morning stir." >> that's like my kids. >> a new social media obsession among teens. that's right, amy, called the 100 club. it's turning facebook and instagram into a competition and causing anxiety. abbie boudreau has the story. >> reporter: from the moment 14-year-old kayla snaps a selfie --

>> i just pick the best one. you can put filters on it. >> reporter: writes a cute caption. >> i'll put "good morning america" crew in selfie with abbie. >> reporter: and post it on instagram -- >> there's already one like. >> reporter: kayla's quest for 100 likes begins. it's called the 100 club. and teens are becoming obsessed. >> if you're more popular at school, you'll get more likes on the picture. >> reporter: the concept is simple. hitting 100 or more likes on a facebook or instagram post shows your friends how popular you are. anything less than 100 likes is considered a poor showing, even embarrassing. like this pic of the back of her head. it only got 70 likes. >> i'll delete the picture. >> reporter: why? why would you delete it? >> um, because, i guess the picture wasn't good enough. >> reporter: her friends are feeling the pressure, too. >> everyone in school gets 100 or more.

it gets us wanting to be in the 100s. >> i don't know. it's just not good to be the only person who doesn't have it. >> reporter: and all of this anxiety worries kayla's mom. >> if it comes up while we're together, i say, it doesn't matter. a picture of you doesn't need to validate you. that's not you. that's a picture of you. >> reporter: experts suggest limiting your teen's time online. but for kayla, that won't be so easy. she was relieved to report that her selfie with our "gma" crew got well over 100 likes. for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. >> good. joining us parenting expert dr. robyn silverman. what is your whole take on this? >> social media is the new extreme sport. we know that getting 100 likes has now created a competition, where the prize is that trophy of getting into that exclusive club where you can feel well-liked and popular.

and the problem is that teens want to feel included. this is a time in their life where they want to feel like they're doing something that their peers approve of. and not everybody can get into this club, of course. and we know that they feel like a slap in the face if they're not getting enough likes. >> what are your suggestions? we showed that clip, that commercial, and amy and george both chiming in that their daughters are part of that, wanting to be that. what are your suggestions to parents? >> when i'm speaking to teens and parents, i talk to them about breaking that like habit. so find out, is your teen posting photos just to get likes? because if they are, it's a really slippery slope. it's a self-esteem trap. make sure your child is out there getting involved, sports, drama clubs, meaningful things where they can create meaningful goals.

where they can be involved with real people and feel what real support is. also, we want our children to know that it's not about the likes that make them worthy. it's about who they are and the quality of life is not about quantity of likes. >> also, adults are guilty, too. we can't just put it on teens. >> they are. they are. >> we set an example sometimes. >> that's a tip i provide. make sure we have a good example. because teens know that adults can fall into that same trap. we're going through facebook and looking for the same kind of feeling of support. >> robyn, thank you. appreciate it very much. lara? it's amy, robin. we're mixing things up. >> it's both of us. quality over quantity. we were listening. many of you are probably getting ready for work as you're watching us. that process can feel like it takes forever. >> funny you mention that. this morning, we have the solution. time-saving beauty hacks that save precious minutes every day.

becky worley, our girl, sharing the secrets. >> reporter: getting ready each morning is a race against the clock. so what if you could shave a few minutes off your hair, skin, makeup routines to claw back a few precious minutes? to start, drying your hair. it normally takes me just over five minutes. now i try with a new terry cloth brush and an infrared dryer. the water is definitely coming out into the brush. and while this makes it look, with the light, like it's really hot, it's actually cooler than my traditional hair dryer. 3:45. time saved each week, 6:25. next, lotion. it normally takes me a minute and a quarter to put it on. spray lotions, only 25 seconds. time saved per week, just under four minutes. next, weekly chores. nails. the real wait here is the drying.

i'll try this fast dry spray. i found it takes my drying time down by about 15 minutes. next, leg stubble and a fuzzy 'stache. yeah, i know. if i drive to the salon for a wax on that and my leg stubble, it will take me an hour minimum. so an at-home leg waxing kit -- yow! it really takes the hair off. oh! ah! and this new hair remover from bliss. the things i do for you, "gma." yeah. that is manageable. total time saved, about 30 minutes. i estimate these hacks could save you about 12 hours a year. over the span of your 40-year career, 480 hours. that's 12 weeks of your life back. working to make your life better. one leg hair at a time. for "good morning america," becky worry, abc news, oakland, california.

. it's already topping the charts. taylor, wonderful to have you back with us. >> great to be back. i'm so happy to talk to you again. >> the first time i interviewed, right over there, you were 14, 15 years old. >> you guys have been amazing. you talked to me when i was a kid, 14, before i had a record deal. it's so great to see this friendship keep going. >> we appreciate it very much. that's the kind of person you are. the reviews have been incredible. i mean, they cannot say the critics, your fans, enough good things about this. someone said it's a pop tour de force. >> that was so cool. i mean, reading that review where it was like, it's her best work. hearing that is the most insane thing because, you know, that's how i feel about this album. i feel so without a doubt this is the best thing i've done. so to have people able to timely have it now and have the fans understand what i've been working on for two years. the most amazing feeling.

it's electric. >> people talk about the pressure of making the next one better. no one puts more pressure -- i wouldn't say the word pressure. you expect so much of yourself. you have high expectations. you want the next one to be different and something else. you challenge yourself always. but you stay true to who you are. >> yeah, i think you have to stay true to who you are at the same time challenge who you are, too, explore the different aspects of what you can create. i think it's always important to remind your fans why they started listening to you in the first place. but, on a new album, give them something truly new. i could have made "red" twice. i could have done the same thing over again. instead, i decided to go in a completely different direction. and i'm so happy that i did. the fans will truly get a new album. >> i love how you said it, if you chase two rabbits, you'll lose both of them. >> exactly. in terms of genre. this is my first pop album.

i think that this felt like the most sonically cohesive thing to do. this felt like the most authentic thing for me to follow. i had been playing around with pop sensibilities with my writing the past couple years and i really wanted to go for it. >> and still, the lyrics. you have a way of really touching on the thing that so many -- so many of your france are going through. and you have been consistently so kind to them. i know you open your heart and your home. those secret sessions. there will be a special one tonight i hear with i heart radio here in new york city. >> absolutely. the 1989 secret sessions was something i decided to do. a secret gathering all over the country of fans in my living room, listening to the album and the coolest thing is, these fans heard the album a month ahead of time and they didn't leak anything. they didn't tell any secrets. it was so amazing. such a bonding experience. the secret session happening

with iheart radio tonight, is going to be a very special different twist on it, including fan, including new york, including the new music from the album and i'm so excited. you can hear it on the radio tonight or stream it live. >> on yahoo!. you trust your fans. and your fans trust you. it's a two-way street. when they're here, so kind, so thoughtful to everybody here. it's a reflection of what you're giving them and how they-ji?r giving it back. it has to be a wonderful feeling for you. >> i'm so proud of them. that pride is an amazing feeling. i trust them. i trust they're going to be good to each other. they're going to be positive. they're going to be, um, excited and enthusiastic but -- um, you know, they're -- i think they're good people. i think just as a group, it's really awesome. >> it's been awesome having you here in new york city. you have taken this city by storm. you've been here since may.
