student loans is a big piece of business. >> it is. a huge piece of business. kids come out of school with $37,000 in debt. >> you'll walk us through it before and after you borrow. what do we need to know? >> you have to act sooner than last year. the free application for federal student aid is coming out october 1st. "the new york times" is reporting that some schools may move up their aid deadlines. whether they do or not, get on it asap. because some aid once it's gone, it's gone. >> and what else? >> once you know that you are going to be borrowing, you want that's just because the interest rates on federal loans are generally lower and once you are going into repayment, there are a lot of programs that can make your life a lot easier. >> if you can borrow all federal, you should. >> absolutely. >> then check out commercial loans. >> if you're going commercial, there are new discounts to be aware of. wells fargo teamed up with amazon, giving half an interest point reduction. discover is giving a 1% rebate

sally mae is giving you a discount if you pay interest while in school but with private loans you may need a co-signer. >> potentially your parents. >> right. >> your next tip is get help before you borrow. >> if you're not sure and you're listening to this and i don't know what i should be doing, there's a website called nextgenvest.com. it hooks you been through it as a money mentor. this girl from the university of michigan. it's free. and it's available in 20 states. really nice way to go. >> it's actually better to talk to someone who has been through it as opposed to someone that speaks your financial language, no offense to you. okay. fast forward. now it's after you borrow. >> after you borrow, know what's the cheapest, fastest way for me to pay back this money. gratify is a tool we like. you input your loan information, what you borrowed both federal and private. it tells you whether you should

refinance, if you decide you're going to refinance your loans, you want to make sure you do your research. there are a lot of options out there. >> okay. finally, you want to make sure that you pick the right job or employer. >> does that mean the one that pays you the most? >> that certainly helps. there are some employers now like pwc and fidelity and common bond that have made student loan repayment an employee benefit. they're helping you b more employers will get into this in the coming years. that's something to look for. also, a quarter of kids in this country work in jobs where they qualify for public loan forgiveness. essentially this means you do this kind of a job for ten years, the rest of your loans will be wiped away. these are only federal loans. you want to make sure that if you're in this, you are registered. >> would it have to be ten consecutive years usually? >> it doesn't. it doesn't.

is an amazing thing. >> you say don't defer life even if you have that student loan debt. what do you mean? >> make sure you put money into your 401(k) and pay down high interest rate credit card debt. return on your money you get from doing these things rather than rushing to pay off student loans faster is better. >> pay off credit card debt because interest rates are so much higher, right? >> exactly. the 401(k) you get the match. >> pay the commercial loans first. >> highest interest rate first. >> okay. thank you so muc you can find all of jean's advice on today.com and we'll head outside to al. >> thank you so much, savannah. you know, we got our garden on the go. we'll put the fruits of our labor onto the plaza and cook up a fantastic meal for you. it's all coming up. first, your local news and weather.

hairs, eyelashes. apply it in one swipe and you don't get clumps and dreaded clumps you get separated, lengthened and beautiful lashes and that works really well. people think it's a great mascara. >> i'm both intrigued and intimidated by this. this is at home filler. >> that sounds extreme. if you are maybe not ready to use a filler, you don't necessarily have to go to a doctor's office for it. this is it's a syringe. it's not going to do anything that you would do with a needle. it's a syringe and two-step process. fill it into lines and you use the film to seal it in. and then you apply it to lines and adds fullness and volume. >> sounds like you should know what you're doing if you're going to use this. >> it's tricky. that's what testers felt. it will help you in between

it, you need to get used to it. >> i'll try it. it's more expensive i would say. more of an investment. tell me about this dirt toothpaste here. >> you wouldn't think dirt could get you clean but actually this is a green product that's meant to -- organic clay toothbrushing powder. you dip it in powder. it's meant to not kill that harms enamel when you brush your teeth. there's baking soda in here for stains. cinnamon for that minty feel. none of the bad chemicals. our dentist expert thought that it's fine but you should probably keep going to the dentist to make sure that you're not having bad effects from not having fluoride. >> last but certainly not least, a gorgeous model.

terror at me. a bomb is going to go off. something is happening. didn't immediately think gunshots. i'm asking everybody and this woman says someone has a gun. i turned around. i ran right back into that restaurant. i went straight back into their kitchen. there's a woman holding her baby. there's people in tears. shear panic. and then they come over the overhead and we find out that -- we found there was not actually a shooter. they had a guy dressed as zoro that they apprehended but he was just a wacky guy. >> lester holt was there as well. he was landing. >> how long did this go on, billy? >> it went on for hours. they had to take everybody, every passenger had to be emptied out of the terminals and then they had to go through tsa screening again. at that point i said it doesn't matter. i'll never make it to the show

in bed with my wife and my little one who has her first day of school today. >> worked out anyway. >> i understand you got a tattoo. >> i did. this is controversial parenting here. i'll have to -- tamron you told me that -- >> i have tattoos. yeah. >> my daughter, josie, turned 18 on friday. why i came back to l.a. she said, look, i want to get a tattoo. what ? little cross. the beautiful part, you, me and mom, that's the little cross. very small. this is the most painful process in the world. >> that's one of the most -- that wrist area and your ankle are two of the roughest spots that you can get as well. you have some other ones but those are on the list. so the whole crew got it.

you know me. you were out at adventure land with me. >> it was not on a tennis court. >> andy murray is the sweetest guy. i was out friday. they work hard to bring tennis to girls. the numbers are still very low when it comes to girls being exposed to tennis programs. they invited me out. why are you laughing, billy? >> our wardrobe department -- it had a nike logo. so they covered it "today" show logo because we can't endorse. andy was so sweet. he brought out two kids. we played partners. so my partner, this really sweet boy. i turned to him and said are you excited that i'm your partner?

look of fear like why did i get you and not andy murray? i tried my best. i can at least say that. >> that's all that matters. >> as two dads, i would think that certainly that's the advice you give the girls, right? try your best. >> do your best. that's why we're so excited about the success of the roker burger. shake shack and i did our best. we did our best. and in fact, all across the country the roker burger sold out. they ran out of roker >> i single handedly shut down the one in battery park. i shutdown one location. >> we're thrilled. it helped no kid hungry, which is great charity that helps fight childhood hunger. the folks at shake shack could not have been nicer and folks tweeting that they ran out were very understanding and some folks said they drove 25 miles to get their roker burger and they couldn't get it. >> any chance this can come back

it's like the mcrib. if the demand is high, can't we do that? >> that's a good idea. >> this is funny i'm looking back at you, without your man spread i feel like i'm half you. >> very much alive but in hiding. >> it's much more comfortable here. >> i got to tell you, i like waist up. >> i think we send top half of you back here and leave bottom half back in l.a. >> you're like that character you're all head. >> leave the man spread at home. the genius of the roker burger often times is a terrible tossup for me whether i want to have pulled barbecue or if i want to have a burger. the fact that you combined the two for an ingenious creation for a fabulous cause means it must come back. i searched in the airport for it. i'm one of the people that did not get a roker burger. it needs to come back.

like a backyard barbecue in your mouth. you have the grill. you have the hamburger. barbecue. pulled pork. everything. cheese. >> the cheese was amazing. but bottom line is, billy, you're right we need to campaign. shake shack has been so wonderful and thrilled to team up with you. >> we'll find out how many we sold. >> we had one serious night last night, guys, at the vmas. i know we all watched. lots to talk about coming up from beyonce's ensemble. i wonder if tamron will agree about if britney spears delivered. >> what about dr. oz? we have dr. oz. >> dr. oz will be making a house call. >> he's going to take our waist see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have.

heart rate. more concerning, 50 or 90? >> 90. >> 50. >> it's 90, tamron. you have heart beats in your life. michael phelps is probably 10. more of an athlete, lower you are. >> we'll have more with dr. oz including three vital health checks. you've got questions. remember these five words. put them up here. face. velvet. church. daisy. red. when we come back, we'll ask you to come back up with them and if you don't have the ability, it concerns me. >> dr. oz with the stuff you need to know to make sure you start off the school year with

hi there. i'm dana wagner. 9:26. hopefully the kiddos are safely in their classrooms on this back to school monday. more than 300,000 students from the morning to get the all important forecast, we head over to the weather center right now with kelly curran. >> what great weather we're having for first day back to school temperatures. a little on the rise, above normal in las vegas today 100, top out at 103. pahrump 104. boulder city topping out at 100 this afternoon. lots of sunshine, dryer air moved in for today and tomorrow. tomorrow's high 105.

temperatures start going downward. we do expect dry weather in las vegas all week. we will see some showers and thunderstorms north and east of the las vegas valley. >> september arrives on thursday and then cooler temperatures for the weekend. so we'll, thank you very much for that. meanwhile, authorities still trying to figure out why a man was trying to cross interstate 15 over the weekend near flamingo. he was killed by a car that was driving on this busy stretch of freeway in our state. the the woman of the car that struck him was hospitalized with minor injuries. and nhp trying to figure out why he was on the busiest stretch of freeways in our state. we have new artist sketches. a proposed stadium that would be home to the raiders if they do move from oakland to here in las vegas. 65,000 proposed seat stadium. with hefty price tag of $1.9

it would be covered in glass, while it would be a dome stadium, you would be able to see the sky above las vegas. the folks over at the sands corporation waiting to see if and when governor brian sandoval

we are back with dr. oz who has his finger on the pulse of your health and ours as well. >> okay. you gave us three important tests. you already have one down here. >> blood pressure 120/80 or below. yours is high. only because i'm sitting next to you. white coat syndrome. in addition, busy work day. but you want it to be less than 120/80 if possible. do you have a pulse even? that's really low. >> my resting heart rate is about 65. >> people athletic have heart

your blood pressure checked? >> i've not been to the doctor in two years. okay. let's not judge. i'm going to be honest. i have insurance of course. i'm one of those people i made a point of going to get my annual female exam. i've not been to the doctor in two years. i know, i know, i know. >> easy to get at home these devices. simple. here's why it's so important. number one cause this is what your artery looks like. i want you to pretend for example that you have a little diabetes, which is like glass shards. scrape that. you start to actually dig gashes in there. you see that hole you made there. this is what happens. once you get cracks in there, the body gets upset and blood pressure is a hammer. take this hammer if you don't mind. hit it right about there.

if you hit it here, i guess not. i had this fixed up. there it is. there. it's really bad blood pressure. once you have a hole in your artery, you have to fix it. what's the best way to fix a hole? you use plaster. unfortunately the body's plaster is something called cholesterol. you take cholesterol and slather this on there and you get not appealing material and over time >> that's lining your blood vessel. >> we need to cut out salt. >> pressure, stress, number one problem we find in our surveys is probably the biggest driver. being short-term stressful environment like doing the show here or exercising raises your blood pressure but long-term stress you can't get away from it doesn't cause this plaque buildup. don't want that inside of you. >> waist line and why is waist measurement so important? >> the other way of dropping

your waist. hold on. there's a lot of stuff including squeezing of your kidneys which is responsible for regulating your blood pressure. your body will raise the blood pressure. men don't weigh themselves and women weigh too much. your waist size is the most accurate technique. everyone at home listen carefully. men over the age of 40, we take the belt and put it down there. >> still >> 28 over here, baby. >> the sweet spot is take a simple measuring tape around your hips. up to your belly button there. suck it in now. you're 27. 27 inches is the number you have to remember. it needs to be less than half your height. just to put numbers on it. for men it should be less than 40 inches. for women less than 35 inches. that's the rule of thumb.

it works for kids. for young women, they get caught up in weight. causing eating issues. use a measuring tape. >> next up -- >> please have a seat. >> the quiz is important here. i'm going to try to figure out whether you have something to worry about with your memory or not. you put five words up there before we went to break. you need to be able to remember those words for at least five to ten minutes. it's been about that long now. don't mind. i put a memory quiz here. there's your chalk. write down those five words. do not look at each other's cards. do it yourself. don't lock at what they're writing here. you should be able to remember those for that short period of time and recall them. if you can't get it right, i'll help you out by showing you a list of words which you should be able to recognize. we have face.
