their emotional reunion today, monday, july 7th, 2014. from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. morning, everyone. happy monday and welcome to "today." matt's off this week. we have willie here. dylan is in for al. and natalie is back. she's still got world cup fever. >> i'm wearing the green. >> and we've had some crazy headed to the midwest today. >> always in the midwest. they cannot catch a break between the flooding and tornadoes. look at this captured on camera. it was wild yesterday. >> oh, my gosh. >> a lot of people traveling back today. i think 40 million people will face severe weather at some point this week. we'll talk about this in a minute.

but let's get to today's top story. that's passengers faces scrutiny at overseas airports. this comes on the heels that indicate bombmakers may try to use new use new techniques to take down planes. let's get to tom costello at reagan national airport this morning. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. homeland security stresses it is unlikely that u.s. airports will be affected, but if you or someone you know is going to be returning to the u.s. in the days, weeks, perhaps months, it's likely your electronics will get a much closer look. across europe and the middle east, a sudden stepped up security presence for all u.s.-bound flights after american intelligence warned of a possible new terror threat. a welcomed response for americans headed home. >> it makes sense to have that security. it makes me feel safe. >> reporter: the new regulations require passengers to power on their electronic devices before boarding including phones,

tablets, computers, and ipods. if they don't power up, they're not allowed on the plane and the passenger could be subject to secondary screening. the concern? that al qaeda terrorist groups are working on a way to put an explosive inside a battery powered device to take down a plane. airlines and airports are ramping up security on direct flights to the u.s. the homeland security secretary of "meet the press." >> i directed we step up our aviation security at last point departure airports coming into the united states. this is not something to over-react to or over-speculate about, but we felt it was necessary. >> reporter: for years the peninsula has been fixated on bringing down though u.s. the american government now believes they're intent on getting around security check

point technology. >> the bad guys have not lost their interest in commercial aviation. they're working very hard at it. day in and day out. >> reporter: as we reported last week, there is real concern these yemeni bomb makers may have teamed up with extremists in syria. among them westerners, europeans and americans, who hold passports and might be able to get on a plane to the u.s. much more easily than someone from the middle east. >> tom costello and reagan national airport, thank you. meanwhile, another terror concern being watched this morning is the new violence in iraq. a new video putting the leader behind it in the spotlight. keir simmons is in baghdad this morning. >> reporter: good morning. western intelligence sources tell me they are deeply worried about the threat of terrorism coming from this region. we ourselves were questioned by security officials in london before we could fly here to baghdad. and the leader of one of the

most ruthless groups is now emerging from the shadow. he is one of the world's most wanted terrorists. $10 million the state department would reward for his capture. his followers say this is him fearlessly preaching in public. i am the leader of all muslims. >> i have no doubt this video is authentic. >> reporter: there had only been grainy photos before. this shows growing confidence. >> the new islamic leader of the empire and that's how he addresses it. the way he presents himself is more like a statesman rather than a fighter. >> reporter: but he also styles himself to osama bin laden despite cbecoming so ruthless that al qaeda has distanced from

him. his group, i.s.i.s., stormed across iraq this past month. but in the future they vowed to turn their guns on new targets. >> i.s.i.s. has made no bones they want to target the united states. >> reporter: he is rejected by the vast majority of muslims. he's even been ridiculed for wearing an apparently expensive watch and some in iraq question whether it's really him. but a decade after the war on terror, america now faces a double threat. from al qaeda and his increasing power. iraqi officials say they are studying the video to confirm that it is him. assuming it is, it is stunning because one of his predecessors was killed back in 2006 p effectively by appearing in public like this, he's saying

you can't get me. >> $10 million bounty on his head. thanks, keir. here at home, a rash of tornadoes made it a rough end of a holiday weekend across the midwest. dylan, that is not the only concern. they're just getting started there. >> unfortunately this week is not off to a good start. 15 tornadoes reported yesterday. all of those in iowa. there were also several rivers flooding their banks of the mississippi. more severe weather and flooding is expected in the midwest this week. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: storm chasers caught this tornado on camera in trae, iowa, sunday. >> go, go, go, go. >> reporter: just outside of rhinebeck, iowa, another captured on cell phone video. there were no reports of serious injuries or death, only minor damage. meanwhile, residents across the midwest are bracing for heavy rains and flooding. >> get my clothes, get my

belongings the best i could. put everything in my house up on tables. and prepare to leave. >> reporter: in the small town of clarksville, missouri, the river is expected to crest nine feet above flood stage by wednesday with the town out of money for flood protection residents are taking matters into their own hands. thomas bankhead says his family is spending $10,000 to build a wall. >> the water went above the windows. and it took five years to get it back. and i don't think i want to do that again. >> reporter: and in illinois residents spent the weekend filling almost a thousand bags determined to hold back the water. >> no matter how many times mother nature tries to wash us away, we're still standing. >> and we have a very large risk of severe storms today from new york all the way back into illinois and including iowa and

missouri. damaging winds are likely. we'll also see some hail. but with these storms we'll see torrential down pours. we already have the risk of flooding right along the banks of the mississippi. the diamonds here we have flooding concerns. major flooding is happening where water is overflowing the banks of the mississippi. a couple inches possible over the next 24 hours. yellow another inch, and in orange we could end up with another two inches. it's just relentless. the rain is not letting up. any additional rain will just lead to more flooding. >> thank you very much. natalie's got an update on the story in israel right now. >> hamas is now vowing revenge for the deaths of seven of its members. israel says it carried out air strikes on 14 so-called terror

strikes. >> reporter: the israeli prime minister called the family of a palestinian teen murdered last week to offer his condolences. it may not be enough to calm the anger of palestinians. but it's the tensions in gaza that could lead to all-out conflict. in gaza it was a chaotic night. doctors worked to save the injured from an explosion that left seven fighters dead. they did launch air strikes into gaza. in east jerusalem, workers began cleaning up the aftermath of a week of violent clashes triggered by the brutal murder of a teenager burned alive in a revenge attack for the death of three teens. today in the spot his son was kidnapped, this father says he wants the maximum punishment for

the arrests. and there's now outrage of the video of a beating of an american teenager in the hands of israeli police. >> i remember them punching me. after a couple of punches i went unconscious. >> reporter: today he's home hurt but happy to be alive. the u.s. state department said it is profoundly troubled by reports that thought he was beaten inside the israeli custody. they're going to laurge an investigation into reports of police brutality. for the time being the family is focused on getting the proper medical care before they return to the united states next week and p

>> it was not a public relations event. if you see the person that come out of the meeting with the pope, you understand that it was not the public relation event. >> he has set up a committee to tackle exploitation by priests. the first trial connected to the boston marathon bombings is getting underway this morning. 20-year-old azamat tazhayakov is charged with obstruction of justice. he's accused of taking items from dzhokhar tsarnaev's dorm room after the bombing. he and a friend took his backpack containing fireworks after realizing he was a suspect. neither man was accused of having anything to do with the actual bombing.

a close call on barcelona's camera. a russian airliner coming in for a landing, but a plane taxis in the runway in the path. the russian plane pulled up and performed a go around. the plane landed safely moments later. and some plane enthusiasts in britain getting a closer look at a fighter jet than they would have imagined. it buzzes by just a few feet over their heads. that was a turkish team performing at an air show in waddington. i don't think you want to be in those seats right there. >> they're not quiet either. >> no. >> we all remember the epic scene from "top gun." remember when he flies back. >> exactly. >> negative, ghost rider. >> good one. >> natalie, thank you. dylan, busy weekend. >> today we could see the strong storms anywhere from new england all the way back through the midwest, an area that has

already been hard hit especially over the fourth of july weekend. we also have monsoon season kicking in in the southwest. scattered showers and storms could lead to flash flooding in the southwest. that's a look at the weather across the country, your local forecast coming up in 30 seconds. with one small catch. no mirrors. everyday they wash with dove beauty bar but can only feel what's happening. on the seventh day beautiful skin is revealed. dove is different. with one quarter moisturizing cream it helps skin feel more firm and elastic. really want to feel the difference? take the dove 7 day test. 7:14, good monday morning to you, i'm christina loren, taking a live look at san jose, pretty start here. mostly clear to kick off dmat pacifica. although behind the coastal

leanna harris stares quietly after the series much bombshells. >> evidence has shown us he has this whole second life he's living with alternate personalities and alternate personas. >> reporter: that her husband ross was allegedly sexting with up to six women even as cooper was struggling to escape from a stifling suv. >> there were abrasions to the back of the child's head. >> reporter: prosecutors say hararis was upset with his marriage and wanted a child-free life. >> are you finished with the examination of the computer? >> we just scratched the surface. >> he was very family oriented, nice, genuinely great guy. >> reporter: but now questions are being raised about his wife. police say she was calm when she went to pick up cooper from day care the day he died and was told he'd never been dropped off. >> in front of witnesses she states, ross must have left him

in the car. >> reporter: when told cooper died -- >> did she ask to see her son? >> no. >> who did she ask to see? >> her husband. >> reporter: then during a police interview when husband and wife were left together. >> she looks at him and says did you say too much. >> reporter: police have not called leanna harris a suspect. she has not been charged with any crime. >> this was not an ordinary marriage. there's probably a lot more going on that we just don't know about. >> reporter: at cooper's funeral leanna harris stood by her husband calling him a wonderful father. she has not commented publicly since then. ross harris has pleaded not guilty to charge of murder and child cruelty. his lawyer claims it is all a tragic accident. >> gabe gutierrez on a story that makes you sick to your stomach, thanks to much. let's go to washington where president obama and congress

face tough questions as they return from fourth of july break. none more pressing than the immigrant families clogging the u.s. border after fleeing their countries. nbc's miguel almaguer has been following this story. good morning to you. >> good morning. as most americans celebrated independence day, thousands of undocumented immigrants find themselves in the middle of a raging debate with an uncertain future inside holding facilities like this one all across the southwest. a show of support for central american immigrants in san diego. 60 miles away in murrieta, five protesters arrested during the demonstration against those same immigrants. a microcosm of the heated emotions swirling round the immigration of tens of thousands of central american families. this woman and her 6-year-old son edwin fled el salvador traveling 17 days by foot and bus before reaching the texas border. i just prayed and prayed the whole way, she says, that god

morning to you. his physical disability, his unstable for him to walk. we've never seen him try to walk without his legs until now. this morning for the first time you're about to see video of oscar pistorius re-enacting the actual shooting. and it is chilling. at one point he holds his hands out in front of him like he has a gun. this could turn the trial upside down. it is oscar pistorius like we've never seen him before. the olympic blade runner at his most vulnerable. without his blades, without his legs. walking, even turning around with ease. this video was prepared by his team for trial but it was leaked and broadcast on australia's network. >> i came around the wall.

>> reporter: pistorius re-enacts the entire shooting. when he killed his model girlfriend reeva steenkamp in the bathroom. he says he thought she was an intruder. in the video pistorius even pretends to hold a gun. arm extended, he's still able to walk and balance without his legs. here even walking backwards. and showing how he crouched behind the wall. >> i heard the noise and i fired four shots. >> reporter: it was reeva in that bathroom shot. then he shows how quickly he could put on his legs in just over 25 seconds and how he found reeva's body inside the bathroom. >> and the head was down. >> reporter: pistorius then dragged reeva out of the bathroom and carried her down the stairs. in the video, pistorius' sister playing the role of reeva. in court today the prosecutor

hinted at the video while cross examining his doctor. >> was it demonstrated to you that mr. pistorius was able to walk backwards? on his stumps. >> it was never demonstrated to me. >> reporter: is this damaging to the pistorius defense? >> well, on the face of it, definitely. it does look damaging. it completely contradicts what they've said in court that he struggles to walk. in the video you see he can walk, hold a gun, and turn around and walk back again. yes, it is damaging. >> reporter: the pistorius defense team angry this video came out calling the leak illegal. since they didn't show it in court, they say it's a violation of attorney/client privilege, also an invasion of oscar pistorius' privacy. for their part, the network said they obtained the video legally. that's why they aired it. meanwhile we have new developments from the courtroom. the defense says they are likely

to wrap up their case tomorrow. >> all right, jeff rossen at the courthouse. thank you. let's get another check of the weather from dylan. >> "today's" weather is brought to you by nexium 24 hour. now available without a prescription. >> and temperatures are heating back up across the country. we are looking at triple digit temperatures in parts of the plains states through oklahoma into kansas. even up into southwestern nebraska. we should top out in the triple digits. even 100s out in california. but in the northeast after a comfortable past couple of days we'll feel the heat come back in. even in new york city, 90 degrees. that's 6 degrees above average. as the humidity builds, it is going to get more and more uncomfortable. we have a slight risk of strong storms from central new england right back into the ohio river valley and stretching back into the midwest and the plains. it's a wide area.

biggest threat will be for damaging wind gusts, torrential down pours which can lead to 7:36, good monday morning to you, i'm meteorologist christina loren, looking life at some high and midlevel clouds in san jose. meanwhile, we are just about cloud-free entirely in antioch. one little patch left, that's it. and in san francisco, a full deck of low clouds overhead. even moisture accumulating here on our land. and that's because we have drizzle out there. what's happening is your marine layer is get come prezzed, that's going to bring temperatures in the upper 80s, the east shore's at 80 degrees. tri-valley at 95. forecast. >> thanks a lot. washington becomes the second state to allow the recreational sale of marijuana. many there embracing for a pot shortage. joe, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, willie. this store, cannabis city, plans

to open to the public tomorrow, but looking around here, you'll notice something is missing from these glass cases. marijuana. their star product won't arrive here until tomorrow thanks to washington's strict regulations. there's not a spot of pot inside cannabis city right now, but tomorrow this will likely be the only shop in seattle and one of just a handful in the state selling rack rational marijuana. >> i think this is going to be an event for seattle history. >> reporter: othe owner says one he gets his license from the state today, he can officially order marijuana from his grower. but under the law that company must quarantine the product for 24 hours before delivering it. and even then cannabis city will only receive ten pounds total. >> we supplier we have, he sold everything he has. >> reporter: for washington this is a gradual rollout. as many as 20 shops will get

licenses to sell today even though 70,000 have been applied. and only 79 people allowed to grow out of 2600 applicants. >> we're going to do this right. we're going to take the time it takes. i'm sure like colorado there will be fewer stores and i suppose they'll run out of product. >> i'm guessing it's going to be until the later part of this year you're going to be able to get a reliable supply of cannabis. >> reporter: with long lines and short supply, cannabis city plans to sell out quickly even if pry prices are high. >> if we don't have product, we may have to close the doors for a short time. if we do, we will open as soon as we can. >> reporter: but one critic says the problem isn't that marijuana is going to be available to too few people up here. it's that a dangerous drug will be readily accessible for far too many including children. unlike colorado, washington is not allowing the sale of edibles at least for now. this morning cannabis city has already received its license via

e-mail and placed its order for marijuana which should arrive early tomorrow. the store says that it plans to open tomorrow at high noon. >> oh. >> thank you. >> you had to sneak that in there. >> that and weedless in seattle. >> pretty good. joe, thank you. >> we know you'll be on this story for a long time to come. coming up on "trending," would you turn down a raise if it meant you could work with people you don't like? the eye opening results of the new survey. then up next, eyeball to eyeball with a great white. we have the survivor of the attack speaking out. right after this. huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what...? jesse don't go! jesse...no! i'm sorry daisy, but i'm a loner.

to pull it off of me. >> reporter: he was left with gashes to his chest and arm. >> a lot of screaming and yelling. it was horrible. i wouldn't catch it. >> reporter: while juvenile great whites are uncommon near the beach, attacks off southern california are very rare. fishermen on the nearby pier were chumming the water to attract fish. then fought the shark for 40 minutes. >> they try to bite the hook off all the time. >> reporter: fishermen insists they weren't trying to land the shark. in many places great whites are protected and those conservation efforts have ended in a surge in their numbers. >> get back, get back. >> reporter: this one was spotted off new jersey last month. this one off brooklyn. in the atlantic, the great white population is up 42% since 1997. they are also increasing in the northern pacific.

i couldn't do it in just one moment. so all my ideas were over the whole thing. that was the ah-ha moment. you get to see the family grow up. >> just for people tuning into this right now, you filmed 12 years consecutively. you checked in with each other during the summertime, i guess. what was the pitch like to ethan for this film? >> well, what are you going to be doing 12 years from now? still going to be acting? going to be alive? no, it's just a new way to tell a story. you remember it. >> it made sense at the time because we'd been talking about doing a sequel to "before sunrise." and so we were kind of interested in the idea of revisiting characters over time. and the beautiful thing is being able to -- you know, families -- most movies have to condense it to some tiny moment that is an example of everything. in this movie we get to really

use the whole experience. >> you're cast when you're seven years old? what was it like for you -- at six and then became seven. what is it like for you to sit and watch this movie and watch yourself grow up on film? >> it's incredible. i mean, it's kind of like nothing else. it's a very strange part of yourself. it's really hard to see kind of the way you change over time. it's kind of -- i don't know. it's flooring. >> rick, how do you go about casting this part? you're looking for a 6 or 7-year-old kid. where do you begin? >> i think it's the biggest decision i've made artistically in my life. i was staring at him thinking who are you going to be? one of those cool teenagers or one of those jerks? >> it's hard to project at 6 years old. >> he was the most interesting of all the kids. the way he thought, his taste, things he talked about. went with the interesting mysterious kid. >> you play mason sr., ethan. talk about your character is little bit.

>> i don't know what to say. his character is growi ining upa divorced family. so he's seeing his father every other weekend. and what's interesting is, you know, kids don't really think that much about their parents. they experience them, but, you know, i talk to my kids and they don't really know what their friends' parents do. what does your dad do? he goes to work. you know? and so we had to create a character as seen through the eyes of a 7, 8, 9, and 10-year-old. so you watch patricia arquette who plays the mother, and you watch our characters change just through their eyes. >> i heard this described as sort of like going to camp. you would get together each summer and check in. what was that experience like getting to know these guys over the course of 12 years? you can be honest here. >> no, i mean, it was kind of an art camp. i didn't have a lot of commitments growing up, so it was like something to go back to

and kind of be invested in indefinitely. kind of set a pace to get to work with these guys. they have quite a method. >> there's a little story about the title of the movie. it's called "boyhood." you originally wanted to call it "12 years." turns out there was another film that sort of borrowed your phrase. >> yeah. late last year we were like "12 years" is a good title. then we were looking it up. there's a film coming out called "12 years a slave." i was like really? 12? so we'll come up with something. >> it is such a cool movie. it's really fun. and it is like nothing i've ever seen before in a movie. congratulations to all of you. >> good talking to you. >> "boyhood" opens in select theaters this friday and theaters nationwide on july 18th. coming up, natalie visits the set of "pitch perfect 2." and coming up, the only chicken

refrigerator for a few hours or you can do it overnight. >> okay. i'm going to wash my hands while you do that. >> while you do that, i'm going to put together my bleu cheese dressing. you're starting with your favorite hot sauce, we're making a bleu cheese dressing to go with it. i'm making it homemade because it's worth it. i'll go the extra step. here i've got mayo, sour cream, white wine vinegar, lots of chives, worcestershire sauce, and cream to thin this out. and then i am just going to season this with some salt and pepper. if you want to whisk this together for me, you can. >> absolutely. >> go ahead. i'm going to switch back to the wings. and basically you put them in a singer layer on your baking sheet. you let them dry out. after a few hours or so, they're nice and dry, you get your oven preheated to 450. the reason i do that is we're making plain buffalo wings. you can make so many different varieties. we've got tons of different spices, jerk seasoning, barbecue, you name it. >> these are so good.

>> they're sampling downstairs. i don't think i have to ask. >> how do you like it? >> love it. >> i can't believe they're crispy. >> aren't they amazing? >> it's bad we have our elbows on the table. >> we love the sauce. what's in the sauce? >> the sauce is amazing. >> the sauce is fantastic. >> four thumbs up from the panel. excellent. >> we added the bleu cheese and this is what they look like. they're crispy and gorgeous. >> beautiful. excellent. thank you so much. they're great. panel, you agree, right? >> bravo! >> very good. >> we want more. >> look at that. >> we'll bring the rest down to you. tomorrow a tasty new twist on barbecue chicken. don't forget to head to today.com for all seven days of our recipes to cook along with us. then share photos of the finished meals on facebook and twitter with the #supersimplechicken. lau laura, thanks again. >> thanks for having me. coming up next, get ready to sing. natalie ehind the scenes of "pitch perfect 2." but first this is "today" on

with a tornado in the background. and they're just kind of strolling down the road. >> it is real. photographer said she just happened to be in the right place at the right time. and said we were a long way away from the tornado, so we weren't frightened or anything. it wasn't heading in our direction. >> it didn't look like a long way away. >> and they move. >> look at the pictures. you see the tornado move from the first image when they're kissing and then the next image -- >> see it's down the road a little bit. >> wow. what do you think of that? that's amazing. >> i think it could be real. it didn't look powerful, but even as a meteorologist, i don't need tornadoes in the background of a wedding picture i think. >> it's not a good luck thing. >> i guess if it rains it's good luck, so tornado could be more luck. we've got rain right now in las vegas. we are looking at warm temperatures. we're zoomed in, i'm assuming

this is man-made in vegas. zoomed in on a water fall there. we are looking at 85 degrees today. not too part. by 3:00, 98 degrees. then storms developing. it's getting into monsoon season in the southwest. we do have a couple of scattered showers we could end up with a half inch of rain. we are looking at the chance of scattered showers. also a slight risk from the plains through the ohio river valley. 9:32. good monday morning. i'm meteorologist christina loren. coastal clouds and drizzle. you'll see plenty of clouds out there, mid-level clouds. all of this subtropical moisture is surging in from the south. it's going to feel kind of sticky out there as a result. we will see lingering clouds throughout the evening. but temperatures will be the warmest. warmest day of the week.

87 for the south. 88 degrees in the north bay. we'll have your seven-day forecast in a few moments. >> and that's your latest forecast. >> thanks a lot. the the bank of mom and dad is open in your house, you're in good company. 50% of parents are in the boat you're in. >> parents are footing the bill from six months to five years after college graduation. take a listen to this mom's story. >> i have a 22-year-old son that just moved back after living off campus for the past four years. and my 27-year-old daughter has lived at home since she graduated. she has a job and she's paying off student loans and a new car and can't afford rent. all her friends still live at home too. hi husband and i pay their cell phone bills, my son's gas and credit cards and all household

expenses. the kids have their meals cooked, clothes washed. why would they leave? we feel we'll never save for our retirement. we're getting too old for this. >> well, rosemary is here with her husband, son, and daughter along with jean chatzky who had great advice for the family. good morning to all of you. you're a beautiful family. this is a gorgeous family. now that we've gotten that out of the way, jeff, you were in the hot seat first. you're 27. you have a job but you're still living at home. >> i am. >> how does that make you feel? >> it's a little embarrassing. i'm 27 and i do have a full-time job, but i don't make enough money right now to live on my own. >> and you're certainly not alone. there are a lot of people right now that can't do that. >> all my friends. >> jean, you say there's a problem here. that jess may be taking advantage of her parents. >> let me just say i totally disagree. i think you do make enough money

to live on your own. she's earning $38,000 a year which is a significant amount of money. and your priorities are a little out of whack. they're out of whack because in part your parents have allowed them to become out of whack. rent needs to come before things like going out to eat and getting your nails done. >> yeah. that is true. >> so how does she do that? obviously that's a no brainer. you need to pay your bills before you get your nails done, but she's young and wants to enjoy life. >> absolutely. the problem at home has been that expectations have been set but they haven't been met. so jess has been asked to pay for things like her own cell phone, like the dvr, and the bills come in and she doesn't pay them. so the question is, why is that? >> we're too lenient with her. we just keep letting her get away with it month after month. but she needs to get on a schedule and -- >> i mean, i do pay my college

loans which my dad said as long as you keep paying your college loans i'll help you out. >> that's the deal they offered. >> that's the deal they offered initially. then she said she would pay $50 a month for the cell phone and $20 a month for the dvr. the bills come in and nothing happens. that's the problem. when you set expectations as a parent, tough treat it like it's real life. you don't pay the cell phone bill, the cell phone gets turned off. if you don't pay for the dvr, it goes back. >> is this creating stress in the house right now? >> yes, it is. a lot of stress in the home. and jess knows i'm a softy. but she needs to step it up and help us out with these bills. >> what do you say to her when she says i can't pay the bills this month. what's the conversation? >> then i'm going to shut her cell phone off and there's a lot of yelling and screaming that goes on. >> i guess i do take advantage that i know he won't shut my

phone off. >> you say jessica should pay the parents 35% of her take home pay for rent. that's $336 a month. are you prepared to do that? better answer. >> but i also want to put money into my savings to get out of is the house. >> here's what i want you to do. i want you to pay your parents $630 a month. i want you to take that money and i want you to save it for her. and six months from now starting january 1st of next year, you're out of the house. you've got that to put first and last month's rent on an apartment. then you can start to live on your own. while she's in the home you have to help her develop a budget so she understands how to do it. >> joe, you're not getting off easy. you didn't just come in here to look good, my friend. you're 22 years old. you're looking for a job. what do you think is reasonable for you to be contributing in the household? you feel you should get a part-time job, for example,

while you're looking? >> it's just tough to get a part-time job right now because going to so many interviews, it's hard to balance my time and get a part-time job. so it would be difficult. >> jean's not buying it. >> not at all. you can interview in the morning and work in the afternoon. we're not saying you have to have a job that is going to take up 24 hours a day. work at night. go bar tend. go be a waiter and erarn a lot f money in tips and give some back to your parents so they don't have to pay for your phone. >> mom and dad, you like the sound of this? >> sounds great to me. >> he's going to give in. i can see it. we will follow up and see what happens. >> i think that's a good idea. >> come back in a few months and we'll check in. >> i hope i'm out of the house by then. >> all right. thank you very much. what had everyone looking up pink floyd this weekend? it happened -- it hasn't happened in 20 years. right? >> yeah. >> we'll tell you what it

invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how. the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing.

if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®.

hospital. i received about 100 stitches in my face and throat and bruises and lacerations all over my body. one year later i was still being treated for post traumatic stress disorder and depression. i wanted to make sure this didn't happen to anyone else. with the help of my mother and a school psychologist, i started giving dog bite prevention presentations. within a few years the nonprofit prevent a bite was formed. as a spokesperson for prevent the beat and dog bite prevention week, i traveled at length to raise awareness of the problem of dog bites to children. sometimes something bad has to happen in order for something good to happen. i still have scars, but i'm proud of what they represent. i recovered from my trauma, regained my love of dogs, and now keep other children safe from dog bites. i am a survivor. >> kelly is here along with dr. karen halligan, a chief vet. >> good for you turning something so negative into something so positive. that shows real character.

neutered. especially the male dogs. >> during mating season. >> yes. spay and neuter your pets. that's going to help prevent a lot of bites. loo. >> they can sense fear, and you're scared -- >> that's something you can't control is your fear. >> you have to be confident in what you are doing. i whn i walk into a friend's house, her dog is pretty scary, but i got to be confident in what i'ming to. show that dog that i'm not afraid. >> what's the mistake that you made? did you think that the dog was injured and you were trying to help it, or should you not have approached it at all? >> i should not have approached the dog. i went up on the dog's property and pet the dog, so the dog was just being protective of its owners and the house. >> what should -- if someone does get bitten, i mean, she was bitten severely, obviously, but if someone gets a nip or something, what is the right thing for a person to do? >> well, think of it like a car accident. i mean, you really need to document it. even if it doesn't seem that big of a deal, the next bite could be a big deal. you want to get the name, address, phone number of the person that has the dog, the

owner. take pictures. then you want to go down and file a report with the jurisdiction that does your animal control. that might be the humane society or police department. that needs to be reported and documented. that particular dog had already bitten three times. that could have been prevented. >> what about workmen that come to your house just to do -- >> you have to keep your dog away because he is doing what he is supposed to do. protect the yard. >> if i'm walking my dog, and someone bend down to pet him, and it's hard in that split second to say, oh, well, but that's what people do. they bend down. that's not the right thing to do, right? >> we teach responsible dog ownership along with canine body language and simple safety and canine techniques. a person when they approach a dog, we've come to follow the steps of wait. the w stands for wait. wait and see if the dog looks friendly. then ask the owner for permission to pet the dog. then we say curl up your hand in
