top to bottom. police say this family was out in their van for a drive on what was a beautiful sunny day. the roads were dry yesterday here in new york. they were headed to a family reunion of all things. for some reason the van lost control, it flipped over a curb and over a guard rail on the bronx river parkway and plunged deep inside the bronx zoo behind me. this morning the entire family is gone. the final moments inside this family van are unimaginable. the driver maria gonzalez an her 10-year-old daughter jocelyn, both killed, along with jocelyn's cousins, just 3 and 7 years old. her aunt, and grandparents. police say they all died at the scene. relatives cried in the streets sunday. >> it's hard. she worked hard for us. >> reporter: police say the family was speeding down the bronx river parkway in the left lane, going 70.

they hit the median, crossing three lanes of traffic, hitting the curb and going airborne over the guard rail, dropping 60 feet into the bronx zoo. upside down. >> the injuries are quite horrific in 30 years i've seen something like this once or twice. everybody was taken back by it. because everybody has a relative. everybody knows a child. everybody has a grandparent. and you can see the emotion on everybody. it's very upsetting. >> reporter: the van landed in heavy brush in a remote section of the bronx zoo. away from animals and visitors. >> our accident investigation squad obviously has been engaged in doing an examination. all of the victims here were apparently wearing seat belts. >> reporter: but even seat belts couldn't save them. the focus now on the highway itself. this is the second accident here in less than a year. last june an suv plunged off the road near the same area, after hitting a divider.

two people were injured. but nothing as sudden, nothing as tragic, as this. >> -- this saturday. >> reporter: one man who lost his wife and daughter in the accident just gave a heartbreaking quote to a local newspaper. he said, i lost my family. what can i say? i don't want to be here. i just want to die. natalie, city officials will now look at this stretch of parkway to see if they need to make any safety changes. >> all right. just such a sad story. jeff rossen in the bronx, thank you. the u.s. and china are pushing to reach an agreement on the fate of a blind chinese dissident. the fate of chen gung chang has long been a sticking point between the two nations. chen spled house arrest, and officials are hoping to win him asylum here in the united states. but the clock is ticking. officials want to resolve the

issue before high-level diplomatic talks between the u.s. and china begin thursday. the new tower under construction at one world trade center is rising from the ashes of ground zero and it's set to surpass the empire state building, becoming the city's tallest building today. the landmark comes just ahead of the one-year anniversary of the raid that killed al qaeda chief osama bin laden. but analysts warn that al qaeda is not yet defeated and is, in fact, strengthening its reach, particularly in yemen, and in tribal areas of pakistan. the wife of former john edwards aide andrew young is expected back on the stand today at edwards' corruption trial. cheri and andrew young are central to the prosecution's claim that edwards used nearly $1 million in illegal contributions to hide his pregnant mistress during the 2008 campaign. andrew young acknowledged last week that he kept about 80% of that money, and spent it on his dream home. the relationship comedy "think like a man" was tops at the u.s. box office for the second straight weekend.

rain. that's why we've got flood watches in effect. we've also got the risk of strong storms from wichita falls, also paducah, kentucky into western p.a., including pittsburgh, cleveland and columbus. you can see the rain now firing up between tulsa and dallas, stretching all the way to cleveland. rainfall amounts going to be looking at anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain in that area. >> good morning. the temperatures will be slightly below average. we will make it into the mid 60's. the clouds will thicken >> and that's your latest weather. savannah? >> al, thank you.

this morning on "today's health," breast care 101. it's not just about breast cancer. women can experience many different issues, obviously from bra dilemmas to soreness and sagging. so here to explain some of the most common breast complaints is dr. roshini raj, a "today" contributor and medical contributor to "health" magazine. good morning. good to see you. >> you, too. >> so we're doing breast health 101. we have to start with the anatomy. there's six different parts to the breast that are important. >> there are. when we talk about breasts, it's not all about breast cancer. so at health magazine we wanted to break down the most common complaints. let's start with a little tutorial. you're starting first with the fat content. about one-third of our breast is consisting of fat that can change depending on when you gain or lose weight or also what age you're at. as we tend to get older we have more fat in our breasts. >> and we have connective tissue. >> exactly. this is the stronger, denser tissue that gives firmness to the breast and that does tend to decrease a little bit as we age.

it's also hormone sensitive. during parts of your cycle you may feel more tender because of that tissue. >> the specific connective tissue called cooper's ligaments? >> think of these as the ropes holding your breasts in place. kind of like an internal bra. it's a dense, elastic type of tissue and it's keeping things firmed up. >> lobbials? >> these are the small sections of the breast that contain the milk producing ducts. we all have the capacity to produce milk even if we're not pregnant or having a baby. >> you mention the ducts. that's another key part. >> right. the tiny little tubes, the milk will travel through the ducts to the last part we're going to talk about which is the nipples and air yo la. >> i'm glad you said it. >> this is the pigmented darker area. right on the outside where the milk comes out of. there's also some muscular tissue in the nipple which can contract and become stiff with stimulation or cold temperatures. >> let's talk about some common

concerns that some women have with their breasts. the first one, tenderness or pain. many people experience that. >> it can be very common. and often this could just be a fact that you're having hormonal fluctuations due to your menstrual cycle or because you're taking a birth control pill. with mopause or premenopause women experience this. sometimes it's something as simple as a muscle strain. we have muscles behind our breast that can become strained. it could be a sign of a cyst or a lump. it absolutely should be checked out by your doctor but often is totally benign condition. >> discharge? is that something you think people should go to the doctor? >> it's common to have a little bit of fluid leaking out because we do in those ducts have protein and liquid that can sometimes leak out. however if there's any blood tingeing that discharge it should be investigated. that could be a sign of cancer. >> next one, a lot of people complain about sagging breasts. >> yes. >> tell us if there's a cure for that. >> i wish i could. you know, as we age those ligaments that i talked about do tend to become overstretched, and we get more sagging breasts.

also, the fat content increases, and the muscular content decreases. fat tends to sag more. if you gain a lot of weight and lose it that could lead to sagging breasts. if you're overweight that could lead to more sagging. is there a cure? not really. but if you do strengthen your pectoralis muscles it could improve the appearance. >> that's where a bra comes in. >> exactly. >> we talk about it a lot but lumps. if you find a lump what do you do and should you be really concerned? >> i should say that many lumps are benign. it could be cysts, which are filled with fluids and not cancer. however, you cannot tell the difference yourself. absolutely see your doctor. get it investigated. most likely you'll get a mammogram and an ultrasound which can determine what is causing this lump. you may need some further tests. you should always take it seriously. but most lumps are benign. >> and some women have, for lack of a better term, lumpy breasts, right? >> absolutely. it's called fibrocystic disease of the breast, very common especially in younger women. and often those women need an ultrasound or even an mri

because the lamb grams are not as good for the lumpy breasts. >> is it okay to do self-breast exams? >> there's a lot of controversy. it hasn't really been shown to save lives. as an individual i think it's still a good idea to get to know your breasts, if you notice any changes. i think it could only help. >> okay. we'll spend the last minute or so on bra issues. how important is it to get fit for a bra? certainly for comfort but is there a medical reason? >> the thing is that your bra size will change over time. with weight gain, even a weight gain of five pounds could change your bra size. so go once a year, get a fit. it will make you more comfortable. it can help with back issues, appearance will certain i be better. yes, make sure you're getting the right size. >> do you have a medical opinion about what bra to wear to a gym? >> we're talking about sagging. the more your breasts move while you're exercising the more they can sag. definitely have a very supportive, containing bra when you're exercising. >> and last thing, how many bras you think a woman should own at a minimum? >> at least three. so you want to -- you don't want

to wear the same bra every day. the elasticity in the bra needs some time to get back to the right shape, so rotate. >> we know everything. i hope there's not a quiz. dr. roshini rog', you'd be fine. thank you, coming up next, they've lost the weight and they're feeling great, looking great, too. amazing success stories from joy fit club members. we're going to show you how to make their slimdown secrets work for you. and later on, kate middleton makes her mark on fashion. we've got kate-inspired looks for less. but first these messages. i brought champagne. oh wow! best in the world.

pounds or more and kept it off. "today" nutritionist joy bauer celebrating the secrets of their success with a great new bag "the joy fit club: a collection of inspiring stories" and a nice picture of joy on the front. >> thank you, al. >> so let's get started. first of all, i mean these stories are really amazing, really inspirational. we'll start with kim. now here's a before look at kim. >> so kim here weighs 258 pounds and she tried every single quick-fix gimmick in the book and it wasn't until she realized that she maded to make this weight loss stick with realistic lifestyle changes. she lost 110 pounds. >> wow. it's like a different person. >> it's stunning. actually she's a personal trainer now and she had a lot of tips. but one of her most clever tips that we include in the book is to crush cravings with a bag of chips. literally. she has a brown paper bag filled with note cards and lists random activities. when she starts craving chocolate chip cookies, she reaches in the bag and it says

walk for ten minutes or call a friend or read a chapter of a book or polish your nails and by the time she's done with that distraction activity the craving is gone. >> she's moved on then. >> she's moved on. >> let's move on to cheri. this is another stunning transformation. there's her photo. >> i think a lot of people will relate to cheri in that she gained a tremendous amount of weight with each of her two pregnancies and she decided to really do it for her and her two boys. she lost half her weight in pounds. look at this. she is a bombshell. so she was 282 to start. she lost 2141 pounds by eating smart and by exercising. and her tip, which she still does -- >> of course now some of our -- our sponsors might not like this, but it's not a bad thing as long as you do it in front of the tv. >> so it's a great idea. she gets up during the commercial breaks of per favorite shows, like the "today" show, just saying, and she moves. she exercises. >> in front of the tv? >> in front of the tv.

she walks in place, does push-ups, crunches and burns about 20 calories per commercial. so if you're in to a one-hour show that's about 100 calories at the end of the show. if you have small kids it's fun to get them up and moving, too. a lot of hoopla in the living room. >> in the -- our television. >> right, right. >> let's take a look at april. >> okay. so april struggled with weight her entire life and it wasn't until she was taking care of her mom, who had a serious health condition, that she realized she needed to make her own health a priority. she lost 109 pounds. again, look at that. no pills, no potions. >> literally a transformation to completely different people. >> you can't even recognize that that's the same person. she is so filled with energy. and her big tip is just to jazz up your salads. because really that same old bed of greens gets so boring. >> you're bored. >> so you add on one or two tablespoons of nuts or seeds or fresh fruit like grapes or strawberries or mandolin

oranges. and she also uses flavored straight vinegars as a dressing like blueberry or raspberry vinegar. they even have fig infused vinegar. gives a robust flavor for very, very few calories. i love that tip. >> and now let's check out nicole. again, this is probably the most amazing. >> this is unbelievable. so, nicole describes high school as an emotional agony. she was teased and bullied by insensitive kids her entire life. >> let's look at her now. >> she lost 300 pounds. could you imagine, 300 pounds? >> she lost two people. >> again, just through eating the right foods and exercising. and her big strategy is creating comfort, slim-down versions of her favorite comfort foods like pizza. her and her husband were and are huge pizza holiks. now they make it on a whole wheat tortilla, reduced fat cheese, lean turkey sausage, vegetables, you name it. >> you have a challenge. >> in honor of the book we're having this big recipe challenge

for anybody who's lost weight, send us your slim down versions of your favorite comfort foods. macaroni and cheese, chocolate cake, and we'll feature them on today.com. >> all right, joy, thanks so much. >> i'm excited to hear them. >> i can't wait. the book is "joy fit club." we'll have more coming up later on. still to come, she turns heads with her elegant style wherever she goes. we're going to show you how to get kate's royal look for a fraction of the cost. ♪ [thor] who dare cross the avengers?

"today's health"ier you" is brought to you by walgreens. >> this morning on small steps to a healthier you, using technology to eat smarter. we offer you some motivation to get healthy, slim down, yahoo! editor is here with some cool tools to help us out at the grocery store or when we're dining out. >> good to see you. >> these apps are all kind of interesting. >> the first one is shopwell. you know, before we get into it, just real quick to note, one of the things you're seeing on yahoo is people are looking for heart healthy, gluten free. they want to know how to find these products. frankly reading labels is overwhelming. this first we're going to talk go is shop well. it's also an iphone app. you can use, it as a bar coder on it. it will give you information about the various products that you want to put in your cart.

basically what it does, if you personalize it for you and your family, so for example, i have 6-year-old twins. they're very active. when i'm shopping for them, maybe i don't want a lot of sugar, maybe i don't want a lot of fat so when i look up something like granola bars it will grade the various products that i'm interested in. so for example, i might like chewy granola bars and i may not realize quaker also makes a low-fat version. so it will tell me that. it will tell me whether it's a red, yellow or green food and give it a score so that i know without having to sit there and read the label. kids are putting stuff in the cart. and i can do it beforehand. it also has an iphone app that you can use in the store. >> is it best to do something like this before you get in the store? it seems like, you would be in the grocery store -- >> you can do it before. you can print up the list. but if you're in the store, can you use it on your phone and actually i think -- >> what's with the nutella? >> the nutella is actually the top searched food that people search on shop well. the second, our second are

energy bars and that's why we showed these, as well. what i wanted to say also with the app people are spending 25 minutes on shop well when they're in the store. so they actually are using it in the store. >> okay. >> which you probably wouldn't want to do it while you've got your kids there running around putting stuff in the cart. the next one we're going to talk about a game for kids to help them understand why we're not putting certain things in the cart. really fun ipad app called smash your food. it definitely appeals to the grossout factor that kids love. >> okay. >> and basically it's a quiz for the kids, and you get to move up levels based on how accurately they get how much sugar cubes, how many shakes of salt, and how many teaspoons of oil. so why don't we take the quiz. this is set for my son ian who is very active. so for him, per meal his max would be two cubes of sugar, two shakes of salt and three teaspoons of oil. what do you think? do you think that a can of cake would have more than two cubes of sugar? >> i think yes. >> what should we say? >> i say five cubes.

>> let's do five. how about salt? >> three shakers. >> and how about oil? >> no oil. >> okay. so let's do zero. and -- now we get to smash our food. now watch what happens. this is why kids love this. this, by the way, won the first lady's contest. >> very cool. >> for healthy apps for kids. >> isn't that fun? >> wow. >> so as you can through this game the kids are learning what they're actually putting in their bodies. >> i've seen this done at a frat house. >> exactly. so it's really fun. and as you move up, there are 40 different kinds of foods that can you smash. and they're just really crazy foods, too, like a stack of jelly doughnuts. >> what is out there for when you're dining out at restaurants? >> i know. that's always a real, i think, tough one for a lot of people. especially if you have allergies, as well. >> sure. >> so there's a website called healthydiningfinder.com. they also have an iphone app

called young power. you put in your zip code or the town that you're in and it tells you all of the healthy options that are within a five-mile radius. for example say we're in canton, ohio. we want to know what restaurants we should go to and order there. top on the list might be red lobster. it will tell me. this is based on registered dietitians who have partnered with the national retail -- the national restaurant association to come up with healthy meals for people. >> and chew your food? >> yes, chew your food. that's on the phone here. we didn't get to mention goji which is a fabulous one. >> we're going to put all of that on our website. >> thank you so much. >> robin, thank you so much. and still ahead the commander in chief turns comedian in chief for a night. this is "today" on nbc.
