>> i'd like to tuck in with a pot roast right now. >> i feel like ice cream is the answer. >> to everything, i know the secret to life. before we get to that, we'll now talk about the news and natalie is at the news desk for all of that. hey, natalie. >> good morning again, ann, all and savannah. good morning, everyone. a penn state coach at the center of the football sex abuse scandal will skip saturday's final home game because of threats. nbc's ron mott has the latest now from state college, pennsylvania. ron, good morning. >> reporter: hey, natley, good morning to you. assistant coach mike mcqueary is a key witness in this case against a former assistant, and because emotions are raw and potentially volatile, the university is keeping him away from tomorrow's big game. right now mike mcqueary is in the eye of the storm. the penn state scandal has cost football coaching legend joe paterno his job and several other high profile university officials theirs. mcqueary still holds one but he's been sidelined this weekend. in a statement thursday night

the university said "due to multiple threats made against assistant coach mike mcqueary the university decided it would be in the best interests of all for mcqueary not to be in attendance at saturday's nebraska game." mcqueary saw former assistant jerry sandusky allegedly assault a young boy in a campus shower a decade ago. mcqueary told paterno who notified his boss, the athletic director. paterno hasn't been charged but his boss and another school official have been charged with failing to report the crime and perjury, both along with sandusky, deny the allegations against them. >> beat the best! >> reporter: paterno has reportedly contacted a prominent criminal defense attorney. governor tom corbett, the state's attorney general in 2009, when the current investigation into sandusky's alleged abuses began said there's plenty of regret to go around. >> every pennsylvanian who has any knowledge of this case feels a sense of regret and a sorrow

to also see careers end, but we must keep in mind that when it comes to the safety of children, there can be no margin for error, no hesitation to act. >> reporter: in contrast to some of the rowdiness we saw on campus wednesday night, students organized a prayer vigil and candlelight vigil for tonight, trying to shift some of the focus back on to the victims of the sexual abuse. >> ron mott, thank you. last night on the eve of this veterans day the senate unanimously passed the first small piece of president obama's jobs package. it gives tax credits to companies that hire disabled veterans and improves counseling and training programs for veterans and troops about to leave the military. dr. conrad murray is in a los angeles county jail this morning awaiting sentencing after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of michael jackson. before that verdict murray made a key admission in an exclusive

interview with savannah guthrie telling her he stepped away from a sleeping michael jackson just before he died and was gone for far longer than he had previously acknowledged. >> how could you really be monitoring michael jackson at the same time you're making calls, you're texting, you're e-mailing. were you distracted? >> no, i was not. when i looked at a man who was all night deprived of sleep, he was so desperate for sleep, and finally is getting some sleep, am i going to set over him, sit around him, tug on his feet, do anything unusual to wake him up? no. >> so you walked out of the room to talk on the phone? >> absolutely. i wanted him to rest. >> you said you were talking on the phone but you could see him? >> i could not see him from where i was talking. >> but you could hear him in. >> i would think if he got up and he called for me, i would hear him. >> if he stopped breathing, could you hear that? >> no, i cannot but he was not on an infusion that would cause him to stop breathing and that's the reason they talk about i was not supposed to be monitoring

him at that time because there was no need for monitoring. >> you don't regret leaving the room? >> i regret that michael has passed. >> do you feel guilty that he died? >> i don't feel guilty, because i did not do anything wrong. i am very, very sorry for the loss of michael. michael is a personal friend. it's heartfelt. it's been painful. >> and you can catch our exclusive look inside michael jackson's bedroom monday on "today" and also see more about dr. murray on a special documentary tonight at 10:00 eastern on msnbc. our next story can be difficult to look at, but also shows what a little help can do. three months ago, this infant boy became the face of the famine in somalia. at 7 months old he weighed just seven pounds. now thanks to the international rescue committee he's been taken from his refugee camp to neighboring kenya, where with

proper nutrition his weight has doubled and he's even started crawling. but as unicef reminds us, more than 2 million somalis still don't have access to food and they need your help. he's done it before and he's doing it again, billy crystal will host this season's academy awards, it will be his ninth time taking the stage. the 63-year-old comedian is stepping in, now that eddie murphy has stepped out, following the ouster of his producer brett ratner. crystal said he's doing it again so "the young woman in the pharmacy" will stop asking his name when he picks up prescriptions. it is 9:08. let's go back outside to al with a check of your weather. >> actually i came back in. >> oh, inside. >> that's all right, getting ready for barbara cork ran. what's happening as far as today is concerned, we got a big storm system coming in to the west coast, a lot of subtropical moisture wrapping around that. we're looking at a lot of rain from central into southern california, talking about anywhere from one to two inches

improve that kitchen. let's move out of the kitchen to the rest of the house which is a knockout. the dining room is beautiful with wood floors and a semicircle of arched windows, also three big bedrooms that come with this house and one, the master bedroom, comes complete with its own separate sitting area, so it's a nice size house with a good price of only $350,000. >> let's go southwestern, head to a one-bedroom cottage. >> so different out there. >> one-bedroom coming in santa fe with a hot tub. >> perfect for an artist or writer that doesn't need a lot of space, it's a tiny house. if you love southwestern style you're going to love this house. take a look inside, the houses there are like nowhere else on earth. that is actually called an outdoor living room, and there's three of them there, so there's lovely alcoves where you can sit outside. it's not so much about the inside of the house, it's as much about the outside of the house. it's an adobe home with three courtyards and gardens.

the yellow windowed kitchen has a big old chopping block, feels friendly like i could make myself at home there. the knobby walls is siptal. the ceiling reads like a short ceiling. it's not, it's because the style of the ceiling brings it down with the beams there. the living room has old-fashioned windows, traditional beehive fire plapla in the corner, beautiful tile work on the front typical of the area and the cozy bedroom has vega ceilings and its own beehive fireplace in the corner of the room. the gardens are filled with native plants and of course a funky old hot tub that's plunked down in the middle of the backyard. >> get in the hot tub. if you want to, first of all to new hampshire, francestown, historic home for $375,000.

>> storybook cape. it looks like you're supposed to be happily ever after there. the kitchen and opening dining room, wait until you see this, has a knockout sigh cathedral ceiling with exposed beams. giant fireplace with original cooking arm, the friendliest kitchen. i love a kitchen like that. soap stone counters and cabinets hand made by a local artist. beautiful, and comfortable kitchen. the living room has hardwood floors, six over six windows, built-in book shelves and look at the detail in the fire place, distinguished for a house that reads informally. you can also see the extra wide floorboards in the parlor, throughout the house, a good shot of it right there. many of the windows have still their original panes from way back when. there's another elaborate fireplace in the parlor with the original tin ceiling above it, you have to peek under it a little bit but the house is charming end to end. >> one last stop, the

adirondacks, one-bedroom house in ohio, new york. >> ohio, new york, kind of a whacky name but listen to the name of the street, called teacup street. that sounds friendly. this house you have to appreciate comes with 100 acres of land, with streams and woodlands and animals crawling around, all that kind of good stuff. so you get not only a gorgeous house but you get that, too. it's solar powered and has lots of outbuildings. the inside of the house is entirely knotty pine and i just love this full length sun porch that runs the whole length of the hous just feels so peaceful. i think you have to live out there every day of the week. the distinguished windowed kitchen has wood counters and painted cabinets, small but workable and also a little bit sophisticated. there's a simple open dining area adjacent to the kitchen and just about the right size, like an alcove, feels like a private restaurant. i love it. i can just imagine curling up with a good book next to an old-fashioned stove. why wouldn't you hang out there and the 100 acres come with

reclaimed pasture wetland, two streams populated by native brook trout if you like to fish. >> or gal. barbara, thanks so much. >> thank you so much, al. >> you have a great weekend. coming up, from a crowded plane to your co-workers' offending you on facebook we have advice on minding your ps and qs in awkward situations. later, how to tell if you're hungry or bored or it's all in your head. we've got the answer for you but first these messages. why se ttle for a why se one-note cereal? ♪ more, more, more...

>> good morning. >> physical hunger, a lot of us grazing throughout the day probably not ever experiencing hunger like we think. what do we feel with physical hunger? >> biological hunger, true hunger is something you need for survival. we're hardwired to survive. we need calories and mostly this is protein, essential fats. it's not eating for pleasure. that's something that's learned. when you're biologically hungry we most often don't get to that point because we pre-eat, feeling fatigued, your stomach feels empty, growling, you feel a slight headache. i need to eat. these are brain signals sent to you for true hunger. we confuse the issue of i need to eat. that's biological. i want to eat is something else. >> the emotional hunger gets in the way a lot and a lot of us when it comes to struggling with diet, that is often what's happening there, we're reaching for food as a comfort. >> i would say pretty much that's almost always at least a piece of the case that

psychologically you're driven by your mood state. i feel sad. it makes me feel better and in the moment it does make you feel better. i feel anxious. i have to eat. i need to stay awake. i'm bored. i want to eat because i want to be part of socially what's going on. these are different emotional drivers of eating. they're legitimate in the moment but don't work long-term >> why does it feel when you eat something it does feel it is comforting but at the same time you feel like you're satiating some sort of hunger? >> because you are filling yourself of course. >> yes. >> and that just positively r l reinforces the idea the feel good that you get, brain chemistry is definitely involved but the satisfaction of an emotional need. now i just ate this chocolate in those ten minutes, boy, i felt less sad, i felt less anxious. >> food really does taste good when we feed that need, it is reinforcing. the problem on the back end there's guilt and shame with this eating. if you're eating for biology you eat and move on.

when you're eating to are emotional reasons you feel good in the moment and that turns into a lot of bad feelings, negative going why am i doing this? i'm a bad person and it fuels more overeating and that's a huge problem that has to stop. >> you came one strategies how to make sure you know which is which, emotional eating or because you are hungry. madelyn, keep a food and feelings journal. >> you need to connect what you're eating and when you're eating and why and connect your feelings with this because you have to take a step back and go, you know, am i upset, did i have a fight with someone? am i turning to food and just grabbing it mindlessly or has there been three or four hours between the times i'm eating and the only way you can do this is to be accountable to yourself and that's what a food log does. >> when you see it in writing and do it over a period of time you're able to see which emotion tends to trigger your eating the most, which is really helpful, because then you can cope with that, you can find other ways to cope with that emotion and you can say to yourself, oh, here i am anxious again, that's

probably going to make me feel like eating. i'm not really hungry. i'm anxious. >> part two, do a mood check, make sure you're assessing the mood at the time. >> for each people different things. if it turns out it's anxiety, you want to deal with anxiety. >> madelyn you say the thing is to avoid skipping a meal which can backfire when you skip a meal. >> right, because you need to create some structure, when you skip a meal, you send all of the biological signals awry, you don't know if you're hungry or fool. when you skip meals, food and mood are really tied so you have to do an assessment on both of these and not keep the food separately and not keep the moods separate. >> and assess if you're content. how does this help control your hunger? >> there's full like i'm overfull. there's i'm filled, and you have to sort of get in touch with that feeling, because that will help you from just going overboard all the time, and contentment of course is also about your mood state so as i

said, you want to, if you use this to fix your mood in the moment, and you've really got an ongoing mood issue, you haven't dealt with that at all. you can come up with coping skills, so maybe you're going to say when i feel anxious next time i'm going to take a bath, listen to a relaxing song, i'm going to take a walk, some other coping skills so that food doesn't have to be a reaction to that. >> find some other non-food activity. >> non-food activity but sometimes you can use food, but low calorie foods or things that satisfy that oral need, the hand-to-mouth. take a bagged salad and go hand to mouth instead of chips or herbal tea or sugarless gum. if you're an oral person you often turn to food and need to find low calorie activities to keep your mouth busy without a lot of extra calories. >> 100 to 150 calories. ladies, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> i am still hungry, though. coming up next, ice dancing olympians meryl davis and charlie white, with a live performance, after this.
