7:29 am
right now with a gps monitor. she was followed by plenty of cameras and reporters and chose to say not a word. she's the so-called affluenza mom who the sheriff says has been complaining about her accommodations behind bars. this texas judge reducing her bond from a whopping $1 million to $75,000 after she pleaded nolt. >> we're talking about a third degree felony here. we're not talking about capital murder. >> i got to make my decisions based upon the law and that alone. >> reporter: the judge pointing out tonya couch is accused of a nonviolent crime. hindering the apprehension of a fugitive. namely her son ethan. the duo disappeared last month after video was posted online of ethan at a party where others were seen playing beer pong. that's a violation of his probation for killing four people in this 2013 drunk driving crash. his attorneys arguing the teen suffered from affluenza, that he was too spoiled to know right from wrong. the mother's arrest warrant says
7:30 am
tonya withdrew $30,000 cash and told her estranged husband he would never see them again. >> how much money is in that account if she were to have access to it? >> last time i saw it was negative $99 billion. >> reporter: couch's older son, ethan's half brother, told the judge authorities have frozen his mother's bank accounts and that she owns no property. that it all belongs to her soon-to-be ex-husband. he says, if released, his mom will live with him. the judge ordering she'll have to stay at his house, exfoept meet with lawyers and doctors, wear an ankle bracelet, and pay back the more than $3,000 it cost to fly her back to texas. her son, ethan, is in mexico, fighting extradition. next week there will be a hearing here. whether he's here or not, to determine if his case will finally be moved to adult court. george? >> okay, ryan. let's talk to dan abrams about all this.
7:31 am
somebody from running away. she's proven she can run away. why the huge reduction in bail? >> this isn't a million-dollar bail case. these two, ethan and her mother are two of the most hated people in america. although he's in mexico. that doesn't mean that you change the rules because you want to get them. the purpose of bail is not to punish. it's to make sure she shows up. she will be under 24-hour home confinement. she's going to have to wear an ankle bracelet. those are two incredibly restrictive requirements to ensure she's not going anywhere. to be honest this makes a lot of sense that it's much more realistic at there are 75,000. >> shouldn't have been a million >> i don't think so, no. >> meanwhile, you've been scratching your head over this there in mexico and fight >> i have no idea what he's doing there. i mean, he's in a detention center in mexico, not serving possibly get here in the united states. now, is it possible a judge will give him credit for that?

if a judge doesn't you have to ask yourself, what the heck is he doing? he's going to get extradited here. so it's just a matter of when. >> meanwhile, you've got tonya's lawyer seeming to plant the possible seeds of an insanity mental health defense. >> the judge ordering a mental health evaluation and everyone immediately will say she better not get off on a mental health defense. the reality is all the judge is doing is making sure she's competent to stand trial. meaning can she understand the proceedings against her and assist in her defense, et cetera. that's a very, very low standard. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. all right, george to that aspiring model accused in a string of jewelry store robberies in the south. abigail lee kemp facing a judge for the first time on monday breaking down in court as we learn more about her alleged accomplice. abc's steve osunsami has the story. >> reporter: looking much less sure of herself than the young woman on video staring into security cameras, the 24-year-old who police have now charged with robbing a string of

i got to get it back by wednesday. but, look, the numbers are so large they're hard to compute but people have done the calculations, and have come up with a way to use the money to end poverty. and also a way to guarantee a win. million-dollar jackpots? that's so 2015. 2016 has brought a new frenzy over a big number. 1.4 billion. remember, this jackpot started at $40 million just two months ago. was at $300 million on new year's eve. but just because nobody has hit the big jackpot the past 19 drawings doesn't mean nobody's been getting rich. at least 67 tickets worth a million dollars or more have been sold in that time. >> big smile. >> reporter: in iowa, joel dominguez was one of those $1 million winners. >> i don't win anything. ever. i feel very lucky. >> reporter: everybody seems to have powerball fever but the biggest players are in the smallest state. the folks in rhode island are

than any other state. almost 3 1/2 per person. >> you can't win if you don't play it. >> reporter: but in the midst of the madness an idea emerged. this facebook post suggesting the billion-dollar jackpot be divided evenly among all americans to end poverty. $4 million for each of us. the original post shared over a million times. one problem with that idea, math. we'd all get about $4 apiece. not $4 million. all right. i know you're skeptical. there's a way to guarantee a win. you say, well, t.j., why wouldn't somebody do it already? >> yeah, yeah. >> reporter: and, plus, there are 292 million combinations out there. why not buy them all? here we go. if you bought every scenario, that's 292 million tickets at $2 a ticket, you're out $584 million. the jackpot $1.4 billion. after taxes, you get $524 million. that's a little short.

to bring along my very own teacher, sharing their secrets to living healthier and happier. we're putting you on the path to feeling better starting now. and it's one pretty little morning. the all-star cast of the one of the biggest hits on tv is here live. get ready for the "pretty little liars" as we say -- >> all: good morning, america. i know that amy's daughters are very excited. >> they're not excited because i didn't let them come to work with me today. >> oh! the excitement is about "pretty little liars." the cast of the hit show is here live opening up about the big winter premiere tonight. you're a good mama. >> the girls cannot get enough of it. >> no. they are so excited about tonight. ava has been talking about it for like a week now. >> our house, too. also this morning, the big, new headline about multivitamins.
7:58 am
we have some surprising new research coming up. also, if you're one of the millions who shop online for groceries, we'll tell you which delivery service is the best value for you. and how all the prices stack up. we'll have that coming up. okay, that's coming up. now amy working her way to the desk and she has the morning rundown. >> i am. good morning, everyone. the big story, a deadly bombing at one of europe's most popular tourist destinations. at least ten people have been killed after an explosion ripped through an historic area of istanbul, turkey, not far from the iconic blue mosque. most of the victims are german tourists. authorities say the suicide bomber was a syrian national with ties to isis. back here at home, hillary clinton is breaking ranks with president obama on immigration. clinton's reaction was at first reserved when the obama administration began rounding up illegal immigrants for deportation. but she came out against the raids last night during a forum in iowa. bernie sanders immediately denounced those raids when they first began. well, donald trump took

7:59 am
last night, asking how she could be in such a close race with bernie sanders who isn't even a democrat? trump claimed he, quote, hasn't even started going after clinton. for now trump has his own challenge, though, in iowa where polls show him neck and neck with ted cruz. well, lawyers for bill cosby have filed a motion to dismiss the indecent assault charges against him in pennsylvania. they claim the prosecutor is violating a 10-year-old agreement not to bring criminal charges against cosby if he testified in the civil case involving the same accuser. cosby is due in court again early next month. and in medical news, there are new doubts about the effectiveness of multivitamins. a study conducted by consumerlab.com found nearly 1 out of 3 multivitamins failed to live up to the claims on their labels. and while some of the supplements were lacking in
8:00 am
exceeded the levels tolerable for the body. a new warning from the american heart association. it says drinking just one sugary soft drink each day can add to your belly fat even if it doesn't increase your overall weight. that fat is the most dangerous because it wraps around internal organs and raises the risk of heart attack and stroke. and finally imagine parking your car without even being in the driver's seat. apparently it's now possible. a software upgrade now allows tesla cars to park and unpark themselves. not only can the car pull itself into your garage at the push of a button, it can also parallel park by itself, and perhaps the best part, it can drive right up to you in a parking lot. it's kind of like a valet parking without having to tip the valet. the future is here, robin. >> it is, thank you, amy. and i know you have a lot of interest in this next story, as well, because there is a big headline about mammogram recommendations. new advice from a major group of experts that could affect when women in their 40s begin getting screened. we have abc's chief women's health correspondent dr. jen ashton here to explain. so, what is different today? >> so, robin, we're seeing the final guidelines. this is just by one group.
8:01 am
and they will be weighing in again. but the big change here from the u.s. preventive service task force is really a softening up for recommendations in their 40s. what they're saying is for women with average risks, start screening at 50. screen every other year. and that screening really isn't recommended for most women over the age of 74. this is exactly what they said in 2009. the difference here is more a woman's choice in the 40 to 49-year-old age group and shared decision-making between that woman and her health care provider or doctor. >> every woman has to make the decision that's best for her, and men are diagnosed with breast cancer, as well. >> absolutely. >> can you understand the frustration that why can't the experts be in agreement? >> absolutely, and i share that frustration as a woman and as a physician, but this is a very complex issue because there are a lot of specialists that need to weigh in here. and there are not just medical and scientific issues but there are ethical and social and political and economic issues. and the goal here is trying to find that sweet spot, robin,
8:02 am
just in saving lives but in improving women's quality of life, as well. >> how about health insurance coverage and the mammogram -- and this new guideline? is this going to -- this is going to complicate things. >> i think so. only time will tell how that will bear out. i will tell you ironically women who have insurance because i have patients with insurance and without insurance -- often have less choice in making decisions about whether or not something will be covered. the one issue here is that congress did pass a bill with a rider that extends coverage through the year 2017. what happens after that, we'll have to wait and see. >> give us your bottom line. >> you owe, i'm a board certified ob/gyn. and i follow the acog recommendations. start at 40. but what i worry about is this term, average risk.
8:03 am
breast cancer is diagnosed in women who were average until they get that phone call. so while it's important to crunch numbers and analyze statistics, there are actual women's lives that i am responsible for and that will always come first for me. >> i know that it will, jen. thank you so much. you know, once again, people are going to be peppering you with questions and you'll be on twitter and take your questions throughout the morning, you can tweet her @drjashton or go to "gma's" facebook page. lara? >> thank you so much, robin. here's what's coming up on our "gma morning menu." country star blake shelton taking a little heat for his romance with gwen stefani. what he has to say about that. then we have a parenting alert for you about teens who try too hard to fit in and what you can do about it. plus, we're going inside the meditation craze. deepak chopra is with us sharing all that and a very exciting morning. the cast of "pretty little liars" is with us live. i'm heading out to them right now. hi, ladies. hi, everybody.

if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, whichcould get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you haveheart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side effect is nausea. life as a non-smoker is a whole lotta fun.

hey hey i'm getting some advice here. but we're also back with blake shelton. the country music star sending a message to online critics of his relationship with gwen stefani. reena ninan here with the details. >> good morning to you. you know, he has never been shy about turning to social media to take on the tabloids or even negative comments online, and once again blake shelton is standing his ground. >> blake. >> reporter: country music star blake shelton breaking out with an aggressive tweet monday to his over 15 million followers. hey, haters, i'm having an incredible 2016 so far. then just minutes later, yee haww. life is short, friends and if you only learn one thing from me, let it be this. take no [ bleep ]. so what's happening with blake? >> it's very obvious that blake
8:09 am
he's really proud of his new relationship. and he's been flaunting it. both by being seen in public and all over social media. >> reporter: after his divorce from country music star miranda lambert last july, he's been called out for supposedly going hollywood by his country fans. "you used to be such a good hollywood hit you and, man, it leaves some disappointed. that's all." his hilarious response, "just sitting here in a tree thinking about the fact that i've gone hollywood". >> blake is kind of saying it's my life and i'm happy. >> reporter: yet life seems to be very good for the 6'5" country superstar. his new relationship with rock star gwen stefani has been very public since they announced it in november. and even sending each other flirty tweets like, "blake shelton, you're so funny and cute." this weekend he and stefani were spotted in nashville at a wedding for shelton's hairstylist. and just last week after he won a people's choice award stefani tweeted, wow,
8:10 am
meanwhile, his ex-wife miranda is basking in her new romance and rang in the new year with with southern soul singer anderson east. >> miranda, blake and all the partners have seemed to move on. it's just the fans, they really liked blake and miranda as a couple. and it's going to take them some time to accept blake and gwen as a couple. >> reporter: and no matter what happens this year, we all know that when the drama of heartbreak comes fantastic songs. and blake shelton starts his concert tour next month. and gwen tweeting out just a few days ago, #writingasongaboutacowboy. take that. >> reena, good to see you. buying your groceries online and skipping the store is on the rise. sales expected to top more than $13 billion for 2015. with so many companies fighting for your dollar, even big players like amazon are jumping in the online grocery game. we wanted to see how their
8:11 am
your price check. >> reporter: it's breakfast time at my house, and the deliveries are coming in. thank you. to see how different online grocery services stack up, we placed orders for the exact same breakfast items from four different companies at the exact same time. peapod, freshdirect, amazon fresh, the market leaders and start-up instacart. consumer expert lisa lee freeman with me to break down our buys. you can really compare prices with these sites. >> you can very easily find out who's got the best deals. >> reporter: check it out. on this particular day we find four different prices for the same box of cheerios. amazonfresh, $3.54. peapod, $4.79. instacart, $5.49.
8:12 am
between the lowest and highest price, and for these paper towels, a difference of nearly $4 between the lowest and highest price. on our particular shopping day, the prices on most of our choices at amazonfresh were generally the lowest and freshdirect's generally the highest. freshdirect told us "our focus is on high-quality fresh food and solutions. and we offer approximately 500 grocery deals per week." but with online grocery shopping, you pay for more than just the cost of the items. >> with amazon you're going to pay a $299 annual membership fee. now, that includes your prime, but you really got to think about whether you're going to use the service enough to make it worthwhile. >> reporter: while the other services don't require a membership like amazon, they do charge delivery fees. lisa also points out with online services, you may not be able to get the in-store sale price. instacart charged us $4.49 for this loaf of bread. but when we checked in the store, the price was $2.99. instacart told us retailers may
8:13 am
and others only on instacart. >> it's going to be different for everyone's shopping list. >> reporter: freeman says, to save money, compare prices to your local grocery store. and try a free trial of the service. that's what we did with amazonfresh. for "good morning america," rebecca jarvis, abc news, new york. >> and as you can see, we had a delivery during the piece. prices and delivery fees vary around the country, so you need to do your homework to make sure it's worth your while. here are a few things to remember. having your grocery list stored online helps you save time, and since you're not shopping in the store, you won't be making those expensive impulsive buys. that checkout counter -- >> i don't know. pretty impulsive to just click the button. >> i know. >> because i need a candy bar right now. >> you said you would never? >> no, i've never, ever, ever ordered online before, because i think it's peaceful to walk through a supermarket. i like looking -- >> peaceful? that's not how i would describe shopping. >> the gender thing. >> i love shopping too but
8:14 am
>> you pay for convenience. >> certain items like i don't know about -- >> staples like that but meat and vegetables, i sort of want to see them. >> lara. >> thank you, guys. we're going to move on to a parenting alert about a phenomenon that's called camouflaging. it's where teens try too hard to fit in and they lose themselves in the process. it's a story we first saw in "teen vogue." take a look. >> why do i even bother telling you anything? >> reporter: sometimes teenage girls just need to be heard. >> you're ruining my life! >> reporter: but this morning, it's what they aren't saying that's getting the attention. camouflaging, as it's known, was coined by psychologist dr. joann deak and featured in february's issue of "teen vogue." it's when young girls go to extremes, changing or downplaying how they express themselves in order to fit in. >> it specifically refers to when young women sort of shed some of their individuality, could be in their looks, behavior, words, actions so that they blend in more with their
8:15 am
>> reporter: it's an issue many tween and teen girls are facing, like 12-year-old amanda, from pennsylvania. >> i wanted to say something, and then i didn't say it because i felt like everyone was just going to judge me. >> reporter: also, 17-year-old mireya from chicago. >> i found myself either dumbing myself down, demoting my intelligence or how i spoke to other people to fit in. >> over time someone who camouflages a lot can lose sight of their authentic self. >> reporter: and now mireya amanda say instead of blending in, they're working hard to stand out. hoping other girls will do the same. >> and today, i'm confident. today i'm brave. and i say those things. and just saying those things make you realize that you are confident. that you are brave. >> reporter: so here now with how you can help your teens, vanessa schenck, founder of the tia girls club. and we both said, vanessa. we did it. it didn't have a name, but i think it's a phenomenon that's been going on for a long time. how can parents tell if their daughters are camouflaging?
8:16 am
what it sounds like, so it's hiding who you are to blend in with those around you. so, if your daughter is doing anything that is out of character, you know, if she is -- >> if she's embarrassed to be smart. >> if she's embarrassed to be smart. if she wears glasses and she walked into a classroom and takes the glasses off because none of her friends are wearing glasses. or the friends that she wants to be friends with aren't wearing glasses and she puts them in her pocket and can't see the board. >> that's a minor example but a good thing for parents to keep a watch. >> yes. >> so, what do you want to say to parents and what do you want to say to young girls or, you know, women out of college who still might be doing it? >> you know, everybody does it to some extent, but it's about keeping your voice alive and keeping your authentic self alive, and your self-esteem high. so it's just really about being who you are and being proud of that person. >> yeah, because it's a bad habit. if you start to camouflage then and then how do -- where does the line separate from who i was
8:17 am
>> well, when you start to camouflage you have a loss of self-esteem, and when you have a loss of self-esteem, you feel unworthy, and so a lot of things happen where, you know, you enter into self-destructive behavior. and that can be anything from dating the wrong type of boys, to eating disorders, to cutting. so it's really important that you keep your self-esteem in a healthy place. >> i'm glad you put a name to it and that we're talking about it. it is really important. >> yes. >> we got to just embrace the person that we are. >> yes. >> vanessa, thank you very much. and you can check out the article, "teen vogue's" february issue is on the newsstands right now. we do want to head outside right now for sam and a look at the weather. >> hey, laura, we're embracing because it's cold out here. from atlanta, all the way to -- am i right, wisconsin? >> yes. >> tell me your name. >> judy. >> who do you want to say hi to? >> i want to say hi to my husband rick. >> hi, rick. >> and other family in wisconsin. triplets back there watching. >> i know they're inside because it is cold in wisconsin.
8:18 am
coast this morning right now. so, l.a., all the way from san diego, surf's up, boys and girls. get out there. it's about eight to ten feet. but a little bit north of that, notice we're talking the rain. san francisco, you're in for about a half an inch, medford, you're the bull's-eye. it will come in with a whole lot of rain. it'll be a player moving across the country, could bring ice thursday night chicagoland, detroit. start thinking about that. as we watch these systems move in from the west. cool in nashville this morning.

8:20 am

8:27 am
now to our -- time for our we boot camp and clearing away mental roadblocks that could stop you from having your best 2016. it's been a big part of my life and have to thank you, george. you introduced to our teacher. >> helps so much and it has been life-changing. >> relax, take a deep breath. and scream. [ screaming ] >> yes, screaming or releasing frustration is actually preparation for this class at l.a.'s unplugged medication studio. this prep work is part of a long list of modern meditation techniques that are widely popular around the world. >> just all these incredible trends from sound vibrations, sound healing, crystal healing. aromatherapy meditation. >> group classes have become the latest after work hot spot. offering up a different kind of happy hour and if you don't have
8:28 am
is an app for that. hundreds of meditation apps offer guided sessions that you can do any time anywhere. today, 18 million americans meditate. everyone from athletes to politician, marines, even children are on a quest for clarity and calmness and corporations like google, target and general mills are all bringing mindfulness to the workplace. so why all the hype? research proves it doesn't just relax you, it can physically change your brain for the better. >> there's this interesting and growing body of science which suggests that meditation can lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system, reduce the release of stress hormones in your brain. >> reporter: dan harris wrote a book about it. >> everybody's life is a mix of good and bad and what meditation has helped me do and i think can it help a lot of people do is be

8:29 am
and less overwhelmed with the bad. >> reporter: so i got to thinking about my own journey with meditation and caught up with my teacher bob roth. the first time i remember doing it with you, oh, i felt the full experience. the colors and i'm like, oh, my god, fantastic. then you send me on my way and i'm doing it at home and it's not working or i feel it's not working. come back to you for a refresher and i'll never forget what you shared with me to help me understand, share that with us now. >> it's a beautiful thing. a physicist in india who caught me to teach i was one time with a reporter and the reporter said, some meditations are more on the surface and some meditations seem deeper. are the deeper ones better, he said, no, they're both equally good and the reporter said how is that possible. ma ha-- there's no perfect meditation. it is what it is and sometimes we settle and sometimes we're
8:30 am
>> i have found i am more aware of those stressful moments that are still going to happen even after meditation, but my reaction to them, i recognize them and i just am at a peaceful state. >> what was your worry or what were you thinking before you started? >> i think like a lot of people, bob, that i'm not going to be able to do it. i can't quiet my mind of the you said to me, of course, you can't. >> nobody can. >> once you say that and you realize recognize the thought and push it out and if it comes back in -- >> let it go. >> right. >> let it go. yes. i feel so at peace right now and in part because guru meditator deepak chopra, he is here with us in our studio, sam. he has a new book out called "super genes" and a man who many see as the first to introduce them to meditating. deepak, thanks for being here.
8:31 am
people that just say, you know, it's elusive, i can't do this. how do you make them understand the benefits of it and that they can? >> as we show in "super genes" meditations changes the gene expression. so within one week of meditation you see a 40% increase in the enzyme call enzyme that is an anti-aging enzyme. all those that are responsible for healing go up sometimes 17-fold. all the genes responsible for inflammation go down, inflammation is associated with many diseases. this is at the genetic level but besides that, it helps you sleep better, improves your relationships, gets rid of stress. >> anti-aging just did it for me. i'll see you tomorrow. so, but most people when they hear your name they think of you as being this guru but take us back to a time before this and then tell me how that changed
8:32 am
>> well, i'm 69 now and never been sick, taken medication, been in the hospital but when i was 30 i was a burned out resident in medical institution, i was smoking cigarettes, occasionally getting sloshed and totally stressed and stressing out my patients. when i started meditation i started to lose my cravings and i settled down and i decided i was going to teach it. >> and you have and you've been teaching today. you've been live streaming on our facebook page and we have some questions for you. kelsey, do you have a question? >> yeah, so i was meditating earlier this morning. such a beautiful experience. my question for you is how do i quiet all the thoughts that come into my mind from my daily stress that's going on? >> okay, so you don't, okay. you don't worry about that because trying to quiet the thought is a thought in itself. now, we think as long as we are
8:33 am
you're either comatose or dead so you don't try to get rid of thoughts. meditation is two aspects to it. the inward stroke where you go in the direction of your inner being and the outward stroke which is thought and bopping up and down. >> do we have a quick question? >> yes, i really enjoy meditating but i'm such a busy person. what's the best time and place and should you be sitting or lying down? >> sitting is best, if you're lying down you might fall asleep which means you need sleep anyway. but any time is good. any time. anywhere. even in a bus or a train or a plane. >> i have found that on a plane you don't have to be in a certain position. you don't have to -- >> just be comfortable. >> where is jennifer? you've been meditating for quite some time and have a question. >> so i do love meditation and i've been doing it for awhile but sometimes wonder what's next. what would i do? >> let me ask you a question. are you aware? >> i think so.
8:34 am
>> who did you consult? >> who did i consult? >> okay. so now i'm going to ask you the same question. i'm going to ask everybody the same question don't say yes. just wait till i do this and then say yes. are you aware? >> yes. >> so the question are you aware is a thought. the answer yes is a thought. in between is your inner being awareness so now i'll ask the same question are you aware, don't answer. just settle into being. are you aware. you feel presence? that's you. >> yes. >> i really felt -- >> you can live here. you don't have to live anywhere else in the center of your being and then no matter what the situation is, no matter how chaotic the world is you never
8:35 am
you are equanimity. you're grounded here. so try and live here. >> try to live here. those are words to live by. >> in the presence of your being. >> deepak, thank you very much. thank you for livestreaming and helping our viewers at home and here. >> it's been a joy. >> this is great meditation for me having sam filling in this week for ginger. another check of the weather. >> it's been nice here. show you what's going on. one or two things we wanted to point out this morning. i know it's hard to get -- it's hard to get that rhythm up after 20 seconds. i know, i'm peaceful. here's who is getting snow, chicagoland, you're done but now it starts to move in. icy road, louisville, cleveland, 123459ty. icy in these areas. this is a big town, big-time snow for eerie, you're getting it as well, quick look at the nation resettling in the cold air for the eastern half. real big push. tomorrow morning even into the deep south again. then another one by the time we get into the weekend, out west,

8:41 am
>> gees, i probably would say mrs. di lorentis. she is the sweetest person ever and such a good character on the show and amazing actress. i love her. >> i said my daughter could not be here, ava, 13. so i told her i would ask a question for her. she wants to know do you guys hang out when you're not on the set? just like she would. so cute. >> yeah, we do. it's kind of tough we spend so much time on set together so we do have our own groups of friends we need to come and see all the time, but, every once in a while we'll get together tore dinner. >> i'm sure she'll be happy to hear that. sasha, i know a lot of your fans feel strongly about which cups they'd like to see get back
8:42 am
45% want kayla and emily and alison, your character so what get back together? >> our creator, marlene, that we were talking about, she describes it really well. obviously she knows more than i do but she always says that emily and alison will always have some sort of flame. there will always be some sort of -- there's always a love there, a special bond. we don't know exactly where she's going to go with it but, you know, there's always hope for emmason. >> our character. >> there will always be something there and find alison with a new love interest and ends up being engaged and married so you kind of see the relationship between emily and alison change. but we always have something special there and i think the fans are still going to enjoy it. >> speaking of love congratulations on your engagement. >> thank you so much. >> beautiful pictures? we wish you the very best. where is that, by the way? it's gorgeous.

tomorrow.good morning. i'm amanda sanchez. i'm dave lawrence. it's 8:57. the powerball jackpot is now at 1-point-4 billion dollars. last year, the powerball gave nearly 150-million dollars to schools in california. nevada is one of only six states across the country that doesn't have a state lottery. since nevada's statehood, lawmakers have at times tried to bring the lottery here but with no luck. one of the biggest opponents: casinos who say bringing a lottery system to the state would mean more competition. most washoe county students are back in class, after a long holiday break. but students at pine middle school won't be able to go back for 2 more weeks. a pipe broke the day after christmas, and forced emergency repairs on the walls and floors. the damage pushed the school to the top of the list for improvements. but district officials say had money been put into the aging floor sooner, it would not be as big of an abatement
