estate prices are hitting rock bottom in places. what can you get for your money? we'll tour homes from washington state to south carolina to see what's out there if you are ready to buy or what you can get if you are ready to sell. >> we'll throw it inside to ann curry with a look at the headlines. ann? >> good morning, everybody. the new jobs report is out today. it is disappointing. it says in may employers added just 54,000 new jobs. that's the lowest increase the market has seen in eight months. that takes the unemployment rate up to 9.1%. assisted suicide activist dr. jack kevorkian died in michigan where he was being treated for pneumonia and kidney problems. he claimed to have helped with at least 130 suicides of the elderly and infirm. he served eight years in prison from one case. he was 83 years old. new concerns as scientists probe the deadliest e. coli

she is coping with life without kyron. >> it's been a long, hard year. my husband and i were talking just last night. where we have been, where we are now and everything that's happened. i remember the first night this happened and just feeling like i was in a dream, a nightmare really. that i might wake up one of these days. but it's been very difficult for us. >> she also said she believed there was, quote, overwhelming evidence against kyron's step-mother in the case and she expects to see her charged soon. turning now to can you spell cymotrichous. >> c-h-o-u-s.

[ applause ] >> congratulations to the 8th grader from pennsylvania. she takes home the trophy and $8,000 in cash and prizes. she said she enjoyed her time on stage and admits to reading the dictionary once or twice. and the word means having wavy hair. they say laughter is the best medicine and these californians are getting a healthy dose at yoga class. [ laughter ] >> it's called laughing yoga and it's the latest wellness trend. these funny folks say it looks weirder than it feels. it looks like it feels good. let's go back outside to matt. >> all right, ann. thank you very much. we could all use a good laugh. mr. roker, a check of the

weather. >> we have the nkotbsbbyb doing the autograph signing. talking to fans. let's check your weather. we have heat to talk about. that's the big story. big area of high pressure. that's just pumping up the heat continuing to bring temperatures up. record-setting temperatures. we are getting temperatures well into the mid to upper 90s. factor in the humidity, the heat index is well over 100 today. that's going to go right into the weekend. >> sun is out and a big area of high pressure will give us another great day. low humidity. low humidity. around baltimore,

and that's your latest weather. natalie? >> announcer: today's daily dose is brought to you by nature valley, irresistible by nature valley. >> this morning on today's daily dose, the not so fun part of summer -- sweating. usually perspiration isn't a bad thing but it can be embarrassing and inconvenient and that's enough reason to do something about it. dr. nancy snyderman is here to help us understand why we sweat and what to do if it gets out of control. we put the viewer questions out there. had people call in and we got tons. from rob in chicago, illinois, he asks, my hands and feet sweat profusely all year. they are usually cold to touch. my doctor says, oh, you have

hyperhidrosis and doesn't prescribe anything. >> this is excess sweating. we all sweat. that's your body's natural air conditioning. >> cooling mechanism. >> when you sweat and you're outside you can keep your body temperature in a normal range. over 176 million people in this country sweat excessively. that's the clammy hands or you can see people perspiring when they are anxious. >> stains under the shirt. >> so for this group of people, this is a time you want to say to your doctor, i know i'm not normal. what are things you can do for me? these are people who will sweat through anti-per sprants and deodorants. >> is there something they can do? >> there are several different things. anti-perspirants block the glands from sweating. deodorants keep the sweat from turning into bacteria which causes odor. first of all, get a good

anti-perspirant and putting it on at night helps because the chemical can be absorbed into your body. some people use it on their hands. >> not good for sensitive areas. >> most doctors say not for the face because you may break out. >> let's get to a skype from lori in georgia. what's your question for dr. nancy? >> good morning. the aluminum ingredient in conventional deodorants may be harmful. is this true? i have tried using natural deodorants but they don't work as well. >> this is something that's been out there for 20 years or so as to whether aluminum causes alzheimer's or cancer. there is no evidence that it does. but what it does is help block the glands from sweating. so they work better than the all natural ones. people will be up in arms

saying, but i like my all natural. do what's right for you. the all natural stuff works. it just doesn't work as well. again, remember the anti-perspirant is different from deodorant. sweat doesn't smell. it's the bacteria on your body that gets to be a problem. for some people, taking a few showers a day during this time of year may help. again, remember, if you're concerned and you want to use all natural stuff, put it on at night. >> on the phone now we have kelsey in rhode island. dpro good morning. what's your question? >> good morning. i find it hard to sleep at night because i am so hot, even with a fan on. how do you stop yourself from sweating at night and is there a reason i sweat more at night than during the day? >> our body temperatures fluctuate a lot at night. you're very young. wait until you hit your 40s. then you will really find out what it's like.

there are great fabrics out there now. all the athletic fabrics are being turned into sleepwear. get a fabric that wicks moisture away. layer the bed so you can throw off a cover or grab it back at night. you may be a person who fluctuates. i always get hot around 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning and i'm cool later. it's all normal. don't worry about it. just dress appropriately. have layered bedding. >> thank you. >> thank you, kelsey. we have time for one more. we have an e-mail for you, nancy. this is from alex in washington, d.c. hi, dr. nancy, is botox a good option for excessive sweating, particularly on my scalp? what are the side effects? would it cause the problem to move to a different part of my body? >> now botox is approved for sweating in the armpits. botox is approved. certain surgery -- laser surgery

primarily and then oral medications you can talk to your doctor about. botox has been a big breakthrough. for people who can't wear sandals through this summer, we haven't really talked about feet much. i'm a big believer in wool socks in the summer ch. there is a brand called smart wool which wicks the moisture away. for people -- if you can't -- if it's not a problem that requires medical treatment, be smart about the clothing you wear. there are cool fabrics out there now that can take away the problem. >> the wicking fabrics. >> from head to toe. >> dr. nancy snyderman, thank you so much. coming up next, switching gears here. thinking of buying or selling your home, how much house you can get for just under $300,000 or less. later, excess baggage. we show you how to pack efficiently so you don't have to pay the hefty airline fees. first, these messages. announcer ] it's 2011. wonder where the durango's been for the last two years?

this morning on "today's relationships" reigniting the fire in your marriage. a recent study found 51% of couples wish they were having more sex. one woman thinks she has a way to help. the book is called "40 beads." one bead says you're in the mood and your spouse has 24 hours to respond. we spoke to two couples who tested the method. >> you haven't done it since we started the 40 beads. >> reporter: carla and chad have been happily married for ten years. each with busy lives they often hit the same wall during an argument, not enough sex. >> you get into a vicious cycle of, you know, he wants it, she doesn't want it, she rejects him, he feels dejected so he doesn't treat her nice. so the 40-bead method reverses it and takes the vicious cycle and turns it into a delicious

cycle. >> reporter: the method -- a husband gets 40 beads. he drops one into his wife's bead catcher and within 24 hours the bead is redeemed. >> this was a game of commitment. just like marriage. >> reporter: although skeptical at first carla quickly saw the benefit. >> i think the 40 beads helps find common ground so that two different lib i irks brkibidos common range. >> reporter: for ashley and russ their decision to use the method stemmed from a different desire. >> we were just looking for something different, exciting. >> reporter: with five children, all under the age of 8, maintaining a physical connection was critical. >> i think the hard part is you can lose a little bit of yourself just because you're busy. >> i put a bead in there. maybe i'm thinking about it during the day where normally maybe i wasn't. >> i think you're definitely in a position where you are

struggling. you should be willing to try. i think it's an easy way without having to communicate. you have the beads, you know, to talk for you. >> reporter: having finished the first cycle, ashley and russ are recycling the bead. >> it's keeping it fun and exciting. now we have decided i'll be the bead giver. >> reporter: car line evans is the author of "forty beads." you came up with this idea. you stumbled on it for your husband's 40th birthday. how has it changed your relationship? >> it changed everything. it takes sex off of the bicker block. there is nothing to fight about when everybody's happy with their sexual situation. when sex isn't a problem it creates space for other things to talk about. >> when you talk to couples and help counsel them, one of the big complaints is a lack of sex. >> absolutely. >> how can this help? >> it helps to prioritize

intimacy. you can be married for 20 years and talking about sex is still an awkward conversation. having the beads, i think, can eliminate some of the awkward conversation. it's funny. caroline gave me a bead catcher. so i will bring it home. >> that being the little bowl. >> i will bring it home and put a bead in there. i know my wife will be like, all right, you better be on your best behavior though. >> you have 24 hours. >> i think the one thing is it's great to prioritize intimacy, by bu it should also inspire you to be a great couple outside the bedroom. >> you say it's important to work on the issues outside of that as well. caroline, how can this start that? >> the 40 beads. you know, 40 is a lot. it creates a sense of abundance around sex. that sense of abundance permeates the relationship. it's magical how it happens. but there is a little quantum

mechanics involved. when the husband drops the bead into the bead catcher he's filled with love and gratitude and anticipation and positive energy toward his wife. >> there are people who may question, is this giving the man too much control over when he wants sex? what about the woman saying this? you have nudge cards so women can say they are in the mood, too. >> there are nudge cards so she can say "bead me" on his dresser. >> bottom line, it encourages play. >> and creativity. there are a lot of men out there experiencing low desire. i'm sure there are women who would also like to put a bead in the jar for their guys. >> car line and ian, great to be here. the book is called the 40 beads. read an excerpt at today.com. up next, the secrets to smart packing for your next getaway after these messages. come back jogging stroller.
