back now more of "today" on a friday morning, 14th day of october, 2011. we've got a nice crowd of people out here on the plaza on what is turning into a nasty day in new york city. i' matt lauer along with savannah guthrie and al roker. ann had to take off a little bitterly this morning. coming up, more information and more desperation it seems in the search for baby lisa irwin out in kansas city. the 10-month-old baby has been missing for almost two weeks

now, and her family has released some home videos taken of her in the time period before she disappeared, this as authorities searched a rock quarry near her home. we'll have the latest on that investigation coming up. >> they say timing is everything and it turns out that's especially true when it comes to your health, where when to take your birth control pill to heart medication, even when you should fill your prescriptions. we'll tell you why timing can matter so much. and what matters when you head to the store is all the stuff that they do to entice you to buy, you go in to buy one thing and come out with an armload, whether it's groceries or clothes. these retailers know how to lure you in using music, food displays, yummy scents to make you spend more of your dollars and cents. works like a charm. how to avoid the retail traps in "today's consumer. ". natalie is at the news desk with the headlines. >> good morning, matt, savannah and al. tension and arreststs at the

occupy wall street protests this morning. mara, good morning. >> reporter: several several arrests and clashes with police during an impromptu celebration march, a victory against the owners of zucotti park where they've been camped out for a month, word came they would not have to evict the park for a cleaning. the park's owners would postpone the scheduled cleaning because they hoped to come to an agreement directly with the protesters. before that announcement was made this morning, up to 1,000 protesters gathered in zucotti park for an early morning rally, an attempt at eviction and attempt to silence them. the occupy wall street protesters have been camped out for a month. the city originally told them they could stay indefinitely then said they'd have to leave temporarily for a park cleaning which they said was an attempt to force them out. they were prepared to stay here in an act of what they called

non-violent civil disobedience setting up the potential for a showdown and clashes with police. word came they were allowed to stay it was at that point they began the celebratory marches, mine orscuffles and arrests with police. >> mara schiavocampo, thank you. the family of missing infant lisa irwin released new video in hopes of sparking new leads for the case. peter alexander in kansas city, missouri, with the latest. >> are good morning to you. these new videos show baby lisa when she is just 2 and 3 months old. she already appears to have a personality in these tapes, as you will see. this as investigators 11 days in appear to be stumped. >> reporter: >> hi, pumpkin pie. >> reporter: they are cherished

home videos of little lisa irwin. >> drink your baba. >> reporter: cooing at her mother, smiling, making precious baby talk. >> what are you doing? >> reporter: in this youtube clip seen with the words "daddy loves me" on her bib. these just released videos are all taken between january and march of this year show an adorable little girl who turned 11 months old this week. but is still the focus of an exhaustive 11-day search. teams of investigators once again hiked through a heavily wooded area, roughly a half mile from the irwin family home thursday. another painstaking hunt for clues in the increasingly mysterious disappearance of baby lisa. an fbi evidence truck was seen leaving the site of a nearby rock quarry, unclear if it contains anything significant. authorities admit heading into the second weekend they have no suspects and no strong leads. the latest searches come as kansas city, the nation's 37th largest city, swore in a new police chief.

to the people of kansas city that are worried right now someone is out there taking babies, what do you say to them? >> kansas city is a safe place to live. >> reporter: not to worry? >> don't worry at all. >> reporter: experts tell us authorities likely aren't sharing everything. >> whoever is responsible for the disappearance of this little girl is watching the media every day, so it's always incumbent upon the police and fbi to hold back information. >> reporter: lisa's parents, jeremy irwin and deborah bradley were seen thursday picking up mail from their now empty home. they haven't spoken publicly in exactly one week. >> look at that messy baby. >> reporter: the irwin family hopes sharing the new videos will return the spotlight to their infant daughter and help bring her home. investigators tell us they have received more than 500 tips, checked out almost all of them and natalie so far, still no solid leads. >> heartbreaking to see that new video.

temperatures will be mild. we expect >> and that's your latest weather. natalie? ♪ al, thank you, this morninging on "today's health" time something everything. may mean the difference between getting sick and staying healthy. dr. holly phillips, medical contributor to "prevention" magazine. a lot of great tips for our viewers. when it comes to timing, birth control and heart pills better to take them before bedtime. why is that? >> that's right, natalie. this is most important with high blood pressure medicine. you know as it turns out, if you take your medicine overnight it's most likely to be at its peak potential in the morning, and that's when you're twice as

likely to have a heart attack or stroke. also with high cholesterol, if you take the medicine at night, it's most effective because the body actually makes cholesterol overnight, and birth control pills cause a lot of women to experience nausea. if you're asleep you can't experience it. >> okay, very good. a lot of us may not realize that we should be swallowing multivitamins during a meal. why is that? why are they most effective that way? >> one of the things we like to emphasize you should get most of your vitamins from food but if you are going to take a vitamin pick it with your food because it helps the body to absorb the nutrients better and also will prevent nausea. vitamins are very, very common medications that cause nausea and vomiting. >> best for the absorption. next you say we should be filling out prescriptions mid month. why is that? >> this is very interesting. pharmacies are most busy at the beginning of the month, that's because when public assistance and social security checks are likely to clear.

so that ends up causing 25% more medication errors at pharmacies because they're really, really overloaded with prescription refills. >> stressed. >> it's best to wait until the middle of the month and you can skip the line that way, too. >> okay, we always like to skip the line. next when we do our head to toe exams, best times in december or january during the winter months because of the pigmentation of your skin. >> unless you're lucky to run off to a tropical place over the holidays most of us are pale during december and january. that makes it easier to spot problem molds or early skin cancers. >> cholesterol important to test once in the summer and once in the winter. why is that twice a year? >> cholesterols in the winter tend to be higher because we carry a few extra pounds during the cold weather. the variance can be about four points which is actually enough to influence whether or not your doctor will start you on medication. so it's good to be able to

compare the two, try it once in the summer and once in the winter. >> here ladies, pap tests, once a year visit to your gynecologist, best time to go is the week before or after ovulation. why is that? >> this has to do with the cervix. thor hae er havcervix is more o mucus thinner, more likely we'll find cancerous cells and less likely that we'll find cells that are confusing, which will cause further testing. those are really the best times to go. >> okay, and then lastly as far as mammograms go, best to plan for the week after your period. >> right. >> this has to do with sensitivity? >> very much to. all of my patients complain mammograms are painful and i agree with them. the time when it's least likely to be painful is a week after your period when the breasts are less tender and it may even be more accurate. >> i was going to ask you, you can get a clearer image. >> right, in the first half of your cycle the images are clearer than in the second half so you should go right after your period. >> dr. holly phillips, great

segment with lots of good information. thank you as always. >> sure. she was 34 and pregnant when she was diagnosed with breast cancer but she fought it and that baby is now 13 years old. amazing survival story coming up. but up next from music to scents, how retailers get you to spend more without you even knowing it. that's right after this. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] the peace of mind of owning a 2011 iihs top safety pick.

>> very sneaky. >> why do we get so distracted? i go in with a list, all set. >> we let our emotions get to the best of us, shop when we're tired, angry, happy, shop for a variety of different reasons. one thing you want to avoid off the top the large shopping carts. >> you can put a family of four in these things. >> and because it looks empty you put another family of four in there so it adds up. people who use these large shopping carts spend 37% more. >> what do you do? >> have your list and stick to it or use one of the smaller hand held carts if they're available. unfortunately becoming a little more difficult to find. >> or you can look like my mom pushing one of the carts you bring from home the folding cart. >> that might work, too. >> also they play on our senses. >> yes. >> especially if you smell something enjoyable. how many times you been in an airport and smell that cinnabon. >> there you go. cinnamon in general is a holiday like scent, a lot of retailers use it around the holidays, vanilla is popular, chocolate if

it's used subtly. >> bacon. >> bacon would work for but. >> yes. >> definitely. because it appeals to your emotions, it entices to you actually spend and retail sales actually can increase by as much as 50%. >> how do you avoid the smells? >> you can't avoid the smells. if you're smelling nostalgic like baked goods you'll probably go for it. the smell comes from the product itself like the baked goods or the stores have the units hidden in their store where they've got various arrow mass, potpourri, floral scents. >> interesting. music also. >> music also so the retailers work with music providers to come up with the play lists that would appeal to their target audience so in the woman's department store for example you're going to have sort of instrumental music, in the teenage department store you'll have more foreground music supplemented maybe with videos. the music selection, the sound quality, the decibel levels, we like the music, we spend more

time in the store, we spend more money. more impulse buys. >> video displays are becoming a lot more prevalent. >> you're probably seeing more of those, they have video displays, free seminars, free workshops, free cooking segments, whatever the case may be, because retailers know that consumers like to learn something, and we also like to feel part of the community, and when everything works -- >> the longer we're at the store watching the videos -- >> that's right, some people feel so guilty they've been there a half hour, feel like they've got to spend money. >> how come the people never seem guilty in starbucks. >> the line goes out the door i know. >> when they offer you free food samples what's the deal there in. >> just say no, right? >> yep. >> there's a statistic out there that shows 40% of people who accept a free food sample end up buying food even though they had absolutely no intention of doing so. so don't shop on an empty stomach, right, al? >> that's right. unless you're looking to are a cheap meal and just keep

skimming the area. when you go to clothing, you try it on in the fitting room, lighting is a kind of lure. >> that's a big one. lighting at the entrance is nothing special, mirrors are nothing special. when you go into the dressment room some retailers manipulate the lighting and mirrors so you look good. >> not like the funhouse ones where you look thinner? >> you don't want to buy something and out to here. the purchasing decisions take place in the dressing room, where they're more inclined to manipulate the mirrors. >> surprise finds? >> all sorts of interesting things. retailers like to stock the shelves with things that get you browsing, you're spending more time. warehouse clothes are notorious for this at costco, everything from wedding dresses to travel packages to sunglasses. the idea is to make shopping more of an experience and less of just a simple transaction. it's like a virtual treasufresh

the beginning of film to have the new technology of 3-d being used to tell a story about the beginning of film is really, really special. >> that's pretty cool. let's get to your book "wonder struck." we have our book club kid questioners. >> did you know the stories of the main characters would be connected from the beginning or did you just make it up as you went along? >> the one thing that i knew about this book was the structure before i even had the story because the invention of hugo cabaret tells one story with words and pictures from beginning to end and i knew that i wanted to tell two stories, one with words and one with pictures and i knew they would eventually come together. the one thing i didn't know was how they were going to come together and what would happen when they joined up. i wanted them to eventually join up and they finally do. >> that's a great question. bridgette, what is your question for brian? >> what made you decide to write this book in this style, by this i mean one part of it in writing and the second part in

illustrations? >> because the invention of hugo cabaret was about the cinema i wanted to make that book feel like a movie. when i had the idea to tell the two separate stories i was trying to find out a reason to tell one story with words and one story with pictures. i saw a documentary "through deaf eyes" the history of deaf culture and deaf id kaegs and th education and talked about deaf people are the people of the eye because seeing is important. i thought i could tell the story of a deaf character with pictures so i thought that would work really, really well. >> really cool. mike what is your question? >>did you include the museum of natural history? were you interested in the museum? >> i've always loved the museum of natural history and i grew up in new jersey and my parents hated new york but the one time they would bring me to new york was to go to the museum of natural history and then a friend of mine used to work there and brought me behind the scenes to see all of the places where he worked and all the do not enter signs i got to go through those doors and see all

the shelves and storage areas and where they made everything and i knew that i wanted to set a book there. >> that had to be cool. >> out to denver, 9-year-old tripp on skype. what's your question? >> i was excited to read about rose and ben, who were deaf because my little cousin, hannah, is also hard of hearing, so i was wondering why did you choose to make your characters deaf? >> that's great. how old is hannah? >> she's 1 1/2. >> great and you're learning some sign language? >> yes, i am. >> that's great. when i was working on the book and saw that documentary "through deaf eyes" i realized i have friends who are deaf, my brother was born deaf in one ear and i wanted to write a story about characters finding their family, finding a community and i became interested in the idea of deaf culture and deaf education, and so i thought it would be really interesting to try to write a story about two deaf characters, where being deaf is just part of who they are and not just a separate issue or anything. it's really just a part of their story, a part of their life.
