>> this is the book that a lot of celebrities would like to write but have no guts to do it. new unrest and chaos in the missouri city once again sparked by the police shooting of michael brown. for the first time police were backed up by members of missouri's national guard. but the troops kept their distance from the protesters. this as attorney general eric holder prepares to travel to ferguson to meet with investigators and community leaders. we'll talk to michael brown's parents in a moment. but first nbc's ron allen is in ferguson. good morning to you. >> good morning to you, matt. yes, police say they were targeted by a small criminal element using the protest as cover. they made 31 arrests. there is that new twist. many were from out of town, they say, from as far away as california and new york. police rush in. a strong show of force. firing tear gas to disburse a

huge crowd. making dozens of arrests. police track down, they say, when their units came under attack. >> i listened under the radio and heard the officers who were under gunfire. we can't have this. >> police tried yet another tactic. with the national guard as backup. curfew. more officers on foot, trying to give the protesters a designated space. >> these are the rules. you can march a quarter mile in that direction, a quarter mile in that direction. this is the stretch of road where some of the worst violence has happened in the past few days. the protesters's loudest demand, arrest under darren wilson who shot and killed brown. >> why hasn't he been processed like anybody else? like anybody else. that's all we're asking, man. if he is so innocent, what do he have to be afraid of the law for? he is the law. >> earlier brown's family released reports of an autopsy they commissioned. graphic details. six gunshot wounds, two to the

head. >> all of these gunshot wounds were survivable except for the one in the top of the head when it went through the brain. >> while brown's family claims he was surrendering, police insist he physically assaulted the officer. it may take months to decide whether to charge the officer. >> we want to do it as expeditiously as possible, but we don't want to do it quickly. we want it to be very thorough. >> now offering support to the brown family is the mother of trayvon martin writing, i wish i had a word of automatic comfort, but i don't. police in ferguson fight an uphill battle to keep the peace. and police seem very focused on as much intelligence as they can about the protest. one reason they may have arrested so many people. names, addresses and phone numbers to follow up on. matt? >> ron allen, thank you very much. michael brown's parents joining

us with their attorney. good morning to all of you. mr. brown and ms. mcspadden, my condolences on the loss of your son. >> thank you. >> a 10th straight night of violence in ferguson. the national guard is there. still the violence ended just hours ago. what will bring peace to the streets of ferguson? >> justice. justice will bring peace, i believe. >> only if that justice results in the arrest or charges being filed against officer wilson? is that what it's going to take? >> yes. him being arrested, charges being filed, and a prosecution. him being held accountable for what he did. >> mr. brown, do you have faith in the system in this matter? >> yes, i do. >> do you think it's worked so far? >> no.

>> so what gives you the faith that it will work eventually? >> eventually justice will prevail. >> i want to ask you about the autopsy that was conducted on behalf of your family by the doctor. i don't want to go into great detail. but we do know he was shot six times. did you learn what you think you needed to know from that autopsy that gives you a clearer picture of what happened to your son that night? >> no. >> what more do you need to know? >> why? >> why? >> why? what was the cause for that? >> excessive force. >> the excessive force. >> unnecessary. >> i want to ask you -- >> nobody deserves that. >> let me ask you about that force. ben, let me bring you in on this one. the st. louis county prosecutor

said police shootings are different from other shootings because officers by law are authorized to use force. and he said you have to determine whether the level of force in each case was appropriate or excessive. ben, based on what you saw in that autopsy performed by dr. bodden, are you confident that this was excessive force? >> i think clearly this was excessive force, matt. in fact, you look at the autopsy and the witness accounts, when he put his hand up and surrendered. and all the witnesses say police continued to shoot, it's going to be an issue that comes before this prosecution, praying that he is arrested, matt. the jury is going to have to decide what is the amount of necessary force to use. because all the witnesses said it seemed like an execution-style murder. and that's why there is so much unrest, to say you can't do this to our children in broad

daylight. >> ms. mcspad spadden and mr. brown, you say you were looking for justice for your son. do you think this continuing violence in the streets of ferguson night after night runs the risk of overshadowing that search for justice. in some ways, does it detract from justice for your son? >> no. no. >> i think that it does somewhat. because it is a distraction. but we won't lit it distract us. we have to remain focused and strong and the violence needs to stop. maybe they will remain the locals. >> we need to keep the focus on michael brown jr. that's what we need to keep the focus on, michael brown jr.

>> mr. brown, ms. mcspadden, ben, thank you so much for your time this morning. i appreciate it. >> thank you, matt. >> a dangerous new wildfire is raging in california near yosemite. the flames burning near a propane company leading to the evacuation of 13,000 homes and businesses. >> it's not a lot of great news. there's no relief in sight. we have more rain to talk about. we'll show you what we're looking at. just to the east we have monsoonal moisture making its way into the southwest. that's not getting into where they need the help the most. we have a high fire danger in central and southern california. and adding to that, we have extreme to exceptional drought for the entire state of california. there's no relief in sight.

the jet stream is up to the north. so that's not helping. and the other big story we're watching in the southeast, this upper level high pressure going to be watching temperatures rising up into the upper 90s from oklahoma city, st. louis, thursday, 95 in atlanta. 92 in houston and atlanta. with humidity levels that are going to bring the heat indexes well into 100. it will top out by friday. a lot of dangerous heat, especially for the elderly and the young throughout a good portion of the southeast and the plains.

rockets. but it was won, too, from the air. u.s. air strikes near the mosul dam. more than 30 times in recent days. >> with our support, iraqi and kurdish forces took a major step by recapturing the dam near mosul. if that dam was breached, it could have been catastrophic. >> reporter: refugees deeply grateful the u.s. and kurdish troops are forcing isis back. the militants killed this little girl's sister. without america, says her father, we'd never have pushed them away. the president saying there it could have been catastrophic had isis kept control of the dam. that's because there was a fear that they might blow it up sending a system of water cascading towards baghdad and threatening the lives of tens of thousands. it's now out of their hands. the big question is will this

turn the tide against isis or was this one isolated victory? >> bill neeley in iraq, thank you. fighting between israel and hamas fighters in gaza. the new violence flared just after they said to extend another day. a southern california community is on edge after police say they uncovered a mass shooting spot at a high school. south pasadena police arrested two teenagers monday who they say planned to kill three staff members and gun down as many students as possible. the suspects did not have any weapons, but police say they were trying to get them. a school staffer noticed something suspicious and that's when he called police. school is scheduled to resume on thursday. a frightening scene in los angeles monday night when an suv plowed through a crowded pizza shop. this happened at a little cesars

>> let's do it! >> reporter: you'll excuse alaskans this summer if they're seeing double. but it's not the normal double talk from politicians. meet dan sullivan. >> i am the original dan sullivan. >> reporter: popular anchorage mayor and shoe in for lieutenant governor. the only problem, sullivan's name appears on the ballot below dan sullivan. alaska's former attorney general now running for senate. >> my first fund raiser when i introduced him there said it's great to have the mayor. he said wait a minute, i thought this was my fund raiser. then he went for the bowl of checks. >> reporter: still some voters are having trouble keeping track. >> one's old and has a combover. he's the governor one, i think. >> newer guy is running for senate, right? >> exactly. >> one of my employees the other day said i heard you on the debates last night. i'm not in any debate. >> reporter: as for differentiating the dans. >> i hope they have pictures on the ballot.

>> maybe call one daniel. >> stick a middle initial in there. >> reporter: both candidates passed on that option. the key letters here may not be "a" and "s" but "r" and "d" since the balance of power in the senate may rest on dan sullivan's face-off with mark begich this november. so is america's state big enough for two dan sullivans? >> absolutely. >> reporter: we did send the other dan sullivan campaign an invoice for $100,000 for using my name for campaign purposes. haven't seen a check yet, but we're hoping. >> we might have an invoice that's a lot larger for him just because of all the advertising that's gone into the senate race. >> reporter: these dan sullivans are pretty good sports. we had to ask could they actually be related. it turns out the mayor dan sullivan, a popular irish pub owner in anchorage is actually into genealogy and he offered to go back to ireland and do research, as he put it, pub by pub. other dan sullivan may take him up on that.

to this day. >> it's shame and remorse. we still talk every day. we're raising a son together. but you're not yourself when you're at that stage of alcoholism. your brain is telling you to do something you don't really want to do. >> you write you dedicate this book to shawn your son, i think he's 27 now. to shawn, this is who your daddy is. managed to be a good father, you think? >> i'm a great father. and you know that. so are you. we talk about fatherhood a lot. my dad when he was drinking -- in fact, he was always drinking. he would take me to the bars and i would go with him. and one day he came to me and said this is who your daddy is. he was a great story teller. but shawn knows who his daddy is. he knows i'm sober and great now. >> it's good to see you back. >> thank you, matt. >> again, the book is "i'll be back right after this." you can read an excerpt on today.com.

now to a controversy in one school district in california pitting parents including supermodel cindy crawford against the government. maria shriver has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morni . >> good morning to you. cindy crawford's first job is being a mom to her teenage kids. when their school found dangerous chemicals inside a classroom, it started a debate around the country. what's the best way to keep students safe? do you feel it's unhealthy to be in this school? >> i don't feel 100% safe. >> reporter: it's the first day of school at malibu public high. but supermodel cindy crawford is keeping her kids home worried about a potential health threat inside the classrooms. >> i'm frustrated and disappointed at the way this has been handled. >> reporter: it started when routine soil tests at the school

found elevated levels of pcb, toxic chemicals often used in the window caulking of older schools. it can leech into dirt, dust, and air and can over time can cause cancer and immune system problems. >> pcb disrupted the function of hormones in our bodies. especially thyroid hormones. they can cause inability for children to perform well in school. >> reporter: when malibu teachers had worries about their health, they tested in ten random classrooms. four came back over the federal limit for pcbs. did you just assume the district and/or your school would say let us get right on that, we want to clear it up. don't worry. >> absolutely. >> reporter: and the district says it is. the school is planning to remove the caulking in those four

rooms. and do periodic monitoring of air and dust for pcbs in every classroom. it says so far tests show no elevated levels. but many parents feel that's not enough. >> the problem is for me is that they haven't tested the source. >> reporter: so the malibu school district says we did test the air and the dust in the other classrooms and we're good. we're going to take out the caulking in the four. everything else is safe. let's go to school. >> right. and i think that air testing is a great piece of the puzzle. unless they're testing every day, how do i know every day it's safe for my kid? >> reporter: some experts say while air and dust testing is a good way to determine pcb exposure, levels can vary week to week depending on conditions. >> in the short-term it may be appropriate to do monitoring, but in the long-term, schools need to eradicate the pcbs from these building materials. >> reporter: and it's not just in malibu.

how to handle pcbs has become a national controversy for schools. under federal law, they're not required to test for pcbs at all. >> why wasn't there follow-up testing done -- >> reporter: at a rally last week crawford offered to pay herself for all the caulk testing at malibu high. >> i look ten years down the line. what if my kid, god forbid, had a problem? how could i live with myself if i knew that it was a possibility and i still sent them to school there? >> reporter: in a statement the school says ensuring our students are safe and healthy is the first priority. and using federal epa standards, our schools are safe for students and employees. and the epa agreed. saying the district's plan address this human exposure pathway of greatest concern. namely air, dust, and soil. and until those tests show a problem, epa does not recommend additional testing of caulk.

you have as of this morning decided to take your kids out. are you out of this fight? >> absolutely not. this is not a malibu issue. this is really an issue in a lot of older schools. i just think the laws need to be changed. >> reporter: well, crawford and hundreds of other parents want congress to require all schools built from the '50s through the '70s to test for pcb. how they fix the problem is still up to debate. malibu schools says they will continue to monitor for pcbs and will take action if they find any problems come up. this story is far from over. >> thank you very much, maria. important story. >> no question about it. coming up, you're going to love her. jennifer hudson live in concert saying hi to her fans and getting ready to j

>> i love your tweet. 1983 my first day on air, don pardo said my name in the live at five open and he came up and smiled and said i punched it for you. let's listen to it. we found it. >> from wnbc tv new york this is live at 5:00 with jack cafferty, susan and al roker with the weather. >> that was it. >> he was a consummate professional. >> i love that they had the announcer right there on set with you guys. >> the old rca microphone. he was a classic and would hang around. he used to bike to work every day. he was just -- this iconic character, but so low key and such a gentleman. >> he truly was such a gentleman. my story with don pardo, actually it was my husband's story. i had just gotten my job at msnbc and my husband happened to be riding the ferry with this older gentleman. i know this voice.

my husband mentioned we just moved here from connecticut. my wife just started msnbc. i work at nbc, what's your wife's name and they get into this whole conversation. you wife a wonderful life at nbc. my husband said what is your name? i know you. don pardo. he said your name in some way. >> you hear the big of stars in entertainment, the moment don pardo says your name and you walk out with snl was a career high for a lot of those people. >> really. >> we're thinking of don pardo today. >> thank you, don pardo. >> absolutely. last night i got to interview rory mcelroy, the -- >> late night. >> yeah. we were hanging out late. the biggest guy in golf. he's won three turn ams in the last month including two majors and the last one at the nothing championship and he's talked about his recent success. there's been talk. he was engaged to carolyn

wozniak and they broke up in may and there was some talk including from him at the pga where he said he's had more time, frankly to focus on his game and he wanted to clear that up last night. he said it was spun wrong by the media. here's what he said. >> that was taken out of context and spun by the media. what i was trying to say is it's not -- it's not directly related in any way. i may or may not have a little bit more time on my hands these days and that doesn't mean i'm playing great golf. you know, regardless of whether i'm in any sort of rpo not i feel i'm capable of this golf. >> what he said when he talked, he was sad and in his sorrow he found his peace at golf course and he went to the gym constantly and that's what he meant to say by that. >> gave him a refocus. >> i like that he cleared that up. >> did nike have anything to do with that? >> how did you know?

>> i'm not sure -- >> it's the the new vapor clubs from nike. >> you hung out with him. you got a chance to know him and he's a nice guy. >> he's a good guy and everyone he's the next tiger and what he said is there is no next tiger. what he did for the game of golf will never be there. >> people still say he could be the next. >> he's that good. >> absolutely. >> natalie and i were creeped out by this -- >> i think everybody was creeped out. >> we had especially vivid view of this in our head, not because we're women, but because we're chicken, i think. >> this guy is in boston. a woman's home and then she sees him. look at that. look at that. on surveillance tape. she's got one of these $150 little cameras that hooks up to your app --

>> i wish i'd known. they're asking folks in the boston area, do you know or recognize this individual whose face is so clear which is what in t natalie's point was earlier. >> you can freeze this frame and hope level they will identify him. apparently, a number of people have reported different incidents throughout the neighborhood. someone said he saw a guy that said he was looking for a dog or his puppy in a wooded area around his apartment. you can understand why women and men would be rattled by this. take a look at this. >> i saw that it was a face. it was instantly, i wanted to throw up. it was a moment of panic. this creep or this man took that from me. the sense of home that i had in my apartment. i don't know if i can get that feeling back, that sense of security. i do want to go home. i miss being home. i miss sleeping in my own bed. >> how would you be able to go

back home. she's now -- >> he's stolen her security. >> she felt -- you be you have that feeling that someone is over your shoulder that someone is watching you and you have that feeling and she finally took action and lo and behold caught him in the act. >> and the quality of the video adds to the creepiness. the ghostly look and the way he peeks in and he goes back and peeks in again. >> look at that picture. >> if he's smart he'll just turn himself in. >> here is a story of great inspiration. i think we all need uplift around here. the cumberland americans from rhode island ended their run, unfortunately, but their manager wouldn't let the loss get them down. instead he had these great words of inspiration and advice for his team. take a listen. >> everybody, head's up high. head's up high. let's talk for a moment. i've got to see your eyes, guys.

okay. there's no disappointment -- okay? in your effort, okay? in the whole turn ournamenttour whole season. it's been an incredible season. look at the score, 8-7, 12-10 in hits and it came to the last hour and we didn't hit. that's us! boys, that's us! the only reason why, okay, i'll probably end up shedding a tear is this is the last time i'm going to end up coaching you guys, but i'm going bring back with me, and you guys are going to bring back something, okay, that no one seems to provide, but you guys and that's pride, okay? pride. >> that is so awesome. you all want to coach like that in your life and you want your kids to have coaches like that in your life. as you heard that, they lost. it was 8-7, and it was a valiant

effort. >> i have to admit these were the days when i wish they didn't take score. >> not everybody can win -- i have always been against that, come on someone's got to win. when i saw that, why do they have to score that? >> it's a life lesson. >> i know it is. >> there's so much to be learned in losing in life. >> try being a weatherman. you learn about that. almost every day. >> it's your birthday eve! >> something happens. you don't get it right, but the good news is nobody blames you. anyway, here's what we've got goinging on. look at this. we basically have this front that's pushing through a good portion of the upper midwest on into the midwest and so we're looking at showers and thunderstorms that have moved through chicago, kansas city, as well. we will see them redevelop in chicago later today. the temperatures getting into the 80s and kansas city, the

heat and humidity, big, big story and we'll be following that over the days and weeks to come. as this front pushes through. look at the thunderstorms firing up again today. detroit, chicago behind that. anywhere between 1 to an 1 1/2 of rain and detroit, they do not need more after the torrential downpours they 9:11. happy tuesday morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. and it is going to be spectacular. once we lose all this low cloud cover still situated over san francisco, we are losing it quickly here over the santa clara valley. just a little bit of fog lingering, burning off fast. as you know, that sun comes out, burns off the top, and it clears, really, really cool stuff there. 80 for the south bay. 76 on the peninsula today, and 74 for the east shore. temperatures a little on the cool side in san francisco, but 79 in wine country. hard to beat. br

back now with the results of a surprising poll. time magazine asked read toers weigh in on issues of life, work, and their definitions of success. >> here to tell us what they found out is "time" editor nancy gibbs and the editor at real simple. >> what are these issues that your readers kind of came together on in dealing with this? >> we wanted to explore not only how they defined success, but what qualities, what personal qualities contribute to it. most interestingly looking at whether it changes through people's lives with what you're caring about through age. >> how many women and men were

polled? >> a thousand women. the focus was really women. we decided to throw 300 men in the mix. >> i love that. just for good measure. >> sorry, al. to see if there were significant gender differences with the definitions. there were in a couple of places. >> success with age. what's interesting it seems like as you get older, the importance of success starts to dwindle a bit. >> it does. what's interesting is overall more women than men said success was important to them. but the definition changes. women in their 20s, it's more about their careers, doing well at work, financial stability. >> 73% say it's important. >> very important to them. that's right. as you get into your 30s and 40s, it starts to change, become more personal. and by the time women are in their 50s and 60s, they take much more about spirituality and their friendships. >> doesn't that make sense? >> it does. >> i like the fact that woman never gets out of the chair. the whole time. >> speaking of more things,

readers were asked do you want your boss' job. roughly three quarters of both men and women would not want their boss' job. but if offered, the men would take it anyway. fewer of the women would. >> yes. good news for bosses. many women when we looked at correlations between definitions of success and satisfaction, it seems to be more important to women than men they found value in their job, that they enjoyed what they were doing. whereas financial reward and stability was more important to men. which explains why more men would take the job. >> what i found interesting in the poll, success for women that the top three responses, accomplishing your goals and dreams, being at peace, and having financial stability. i would have thought family would fall in that top three. >> although having children is a very important part of it. what was striking was that for

women, it kept on coming back, this sense of purpose of having meaning in your life. if the single biggest gap was that, that did not rate as nearly high as it did for women. >> they rated financial stability number one, men did. >> you did ask women if it's more important to enjoy what they do or make more money which was along the lines what you said. >> it was interesting. in both cases, 2/3 of men and women all say enjoying your work is more important than making the most money you can. >> that's actually kind of gratifying in a sense. >> it is. >> people are smarter than we think they are. or wiser maybe. right? >> but it seems like -- my dad says -- just common sense. a lot of these are passed along and gender doesn't matter. i love reading this. i have something in common with all these people. >> thank you so much. >> and thank you for picking me
