>> last time, you know, around last year we saw a city burn. we are not going to see it again. i'm taking every measure possible to avoid that scenario. >> overnight, no shootings reported nor property destroyed. authorities warning they have not ruled out imposing a curfew to keep people off the street ifs the threat of violence continues. matt, savannah? >> ron allen, thank you. new fallout from donald trump's post debate comments about fox news anchor megyn kelly. we are hearing from her as hillary clinton also weighs in. nbc's kristen welker traveling with her campaign in new hampshire. good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. hillary clinton kicks off a second day of campaigning in new hampshire, rolling out her plan to make college more affordable. it is donald trump who continues to dominate the conversation. for the first time since coming under fire from donald trump for

her sharp questions during the gop debate, fox news anchor megyn kelly weighed in monday night. >> trump, who was the frontrunner will not apologize and i will not apologize for doing good journalism. >> reporter: kelly's comments come after many thought trump suggested she was hormonal as she moderated the debate. >> mr. trump did interviews that attacked me personally. i have decided not to respond. >> reporter: the frontrunner will appear on fox news for the first time since the kelly controversy. he remains defiant. >> she should be apologizing to me, you want to know the truth. >> reporter: his former top adviser, roger stone, is speaking out. trump said he fired stone, but stone says he quit underscoring internal strife. >> i was frustrated. i think trump is much better than this. i remain a strong supporter. >> reporter: as the trump saga heats up some of his republican rivals are vowing to stop him. >> if no one stands up to a

bully, a bully will keep doing what they are doing. >> reporter: hillary clinton seized the opportunity to slam trump for his controversial rhetoric to women. >> he went way over board, offensive, outrageous. >> reporter: while managing to lump in the rest of the gop field, calling them out of touch on women's issues, singling out marco rubio who said he opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest. >> what marco rubio said has as much of an impact in terms of where the republican party is today as anybody else on that stage. >> reporter: marco rubio firing back. hillary clinton holds radical views on abortion that we look forward to exposing in the months to come. this morning there is breaking news from the campaign of rick perry. sources telling nbc news perry has stopped paying all of his campaign staff. while some staffers are still volunteering, it is an indication the republican

candidate who struggled to catch on could be in real trouble. matt? >> all right. kristen welker, thank you very much. roger stone, mr. trump's top adviser, joins us now live. >> great to be here. >> does megyn kelly owe donald trump an apology? >> no. this is politics. it's rough and tumble. presidential politics should be about bigger issues, sweeping themes and memorable phrases, not bickering between media personalities and candidates. >> is that why you are no longer with the trump campaign? did you quit? were you fired? just for the record. >> sure. i did quit. i consulted five colleagues and shared my letter in advance, told them. they confirmed it for the new york sometimes and politico that i, in fact, resigned. >> there is a conversation with donald trump post debate. you said basically your comments about megyn kelly were crazy and they are killing us. he responded, no, in fact, i won the debate in part because i took her on.

close to the truth? >> i'm not going to characterize my personal conversations with donald trump. those are between us during the time i was under his employ. two things drove me from the campaign. one, someone on his staff leaked the fact that he had a private phone conversation with former president clinton. that was not helpful to his campaign effort. somebody did it to suck up to a washington post reporter. >> that happens in campaigns all the time. >> no. republican primary voters are saying why is donald trump speaking to bill clinton? it hurt trump. someone disserved him. secondarily, the trump campaign has been historically successful. he zoomed to the front place by speaking about the economy, jobs. >> you say it but the "wall street journal" says, where is the platform? where are the details? has he given a detail about building a wall and having mexico pay, negotiating tougher deals with adversaries, lower taxes and reduce the national debt, provide an alternative to

obamacare. does he have real plans? >> yes. >> when is he going to articulate them? >> that's what the campaign is about. there is time but not if you squabble with media personalities at fox. that's why i went rogue to lay out a path. they need to get back to the big picture issues. trump has very specific ideas. lay them out. >> donald trump likes to say, look, i'm so rich i can't be bought. in effect, i am my own political donor. in your opinion, is donald trump prepared to spend the kind of cash it will take to run an aggressive campaign coast to coast? >> that's the single most important thing about the candidacy. i was on eight presidential campaigns. i spent years in the corroded rectum of the two-party system. >> quote of the day. >> our system is broken. >> only gump has the independence to fix it. >> will he spend the money? >> according to his financial statement he has $350 million in

liquid cash or cash assets. he's got the money. the question is will he spend it. >> you have known him for a long time. does he want to be president? >> he wants to save the country. he's upset. he has a great life. doesn't have to do this. he doesn't want to be president -- >> really? >> he does want to save the united states. >> he said it's leverage for him. do you think he really wants to mount a third-party run if the republican establishment doesn't treat him appropriately? >> that's very smart. we know at least three of the other candidates talked aboutway boycott it is fist debate if he was in it. in 15 state it is republican bosses can keep him off the ballot. why throw away that option until you see if the republican party will give you a fair shake, an even shot. >> couple of things said about donald trump recently from candidates on both sides. he's been called a jack ass, bully, empty suit. hillary clinton called him an entertainer having the time of his life on stage.

is it possible this is some kind of grand reality show for donald trump? >> absolutely not. i think he is deeply concerned about the direction of the country. those same people saying that said he would never run. then they said he would never file financial disclosures, then would fall on his face in the polls. they have been wrong, wrong, wrong. the conventional wisdom doesn't apply to donald trump. he is a larger than life figure. i want him to be more like reagan. give us a big picture vision. he has the independent from the lobbyists, the koch brothers, the billionaires. we need somebody to stand up to the system. >> you sound like somebody who could go back to the trump campaign. >> i have no plans. i am very strongly for trump. >> roger stone, thanks for your time. >> great to be here. >> savannah. >> officials monitoring the toxic spill that turned a colorado river bright orange is more than three times larger than estimated.

it has people in several states unsure about the safety of drinking water. miguel almaguer is there for us. >> reporter: farmers use this water to irrigate crops. the city shut down the intake valves. if you stir the riverbed you will see the pollute ants rise to the top. it has many here worried. this morning change is in the water. just below the slow clearing surface, a toxic blum has left behind sludge on the river bed, the reason for the state of emergency. >> the danger of the plume is really the heavy metals, the ph levels. >> reporter: last wednesday that mustard glow, 3 million gallons of sludge began spouting from an abandoned mine in colorado. the epa, tasked with protecting the environment triggered the

operation. for more than a hundred miles, ribbons of yellow, a toxic soup of lead, arsenic and dangerous metals winding its way to lake powell in arizona, creeping closer to the grand canyon. >> it makes me want to cry. this is a huge disaster. i don't know. again. >> reporter: the epa testing the water every day. now so are residents. many desperate to know what's pouring out of their tap. >> i can't do my dishes, my laundry. can't even drink our water. >> reporter: today, no one allowed in or on the water but the animas is showing signs of life. fish still alive, for now. >> we are concerned about the long-term or chronic impacts to the fish in the animas river. >> reporter: the epa concedes only time will tell how bad the environmental damage will be. for now, reason to worry as pollutants sink out of sight but not out of mind.

the epa says the water quality tests up and down the river continue to show high heavy metals in some areas. no doubt the river will be shut down for at least another week. wiet possibly longer. savannah and matt? >> miguel, thank you so much. now a surprise move by google getting a lot of attention in the corporate world. they announced the formation of a new parent company called alphabet, a move supposed to streamline the corporate structure by separating the core web advertising business with new projects like driverless cars. while google stock converts to alphabet shares it won't affect our searches or gmail. >> if you are about to jump on a plane you may find the next story troubling. the associated press has released stunning details from a final draft of a study commissioned by the f.a.a. it found air traffic controllers' work schedules lead to chronic fatigue, leaving them

less alert and potentially endangering the safety of air travellers. according to the study controllers were getting less than six hours of sleep a night. two of ten reported making significant mistakes while on the job like letting planes get too close on runways. half blame mistakes on fatigue citing too little sleep and too few hours between shifts. before it was obtained by the a.p., the f.a.a. was sitting on the report more than three years. since it was written changes have been made to scheduling including nine hours between shifts for controllers and limited consecutive midnight shifts. >> all right. let's turn to natalie with the other headlines of the morning including new fire concerns out west. >> that's right. good morning. another wildfire is raging through northern california just north of napa valley. the jerusalem fire grew to 6,000 acres in less than 24 hours and forced mandatory evacuations for 150 residents in the area. authorities say a man was

morning of september of 2013. the judge called their actions selfish and reckless. a dashboard camera captured dramatic moments when a tornado swept through taiwan over the weekend picking up a car off of its wheels. debris is flying through the air. incredible video. suddenly the tornado whips out in front of the dash cam. the white car tossed around like a toy. seemingly disappears into the twister. moments later a woman appears on the side of the road. the tornado was spawned from the typhoon which killed at least 21 people in china and taiwan. >> unbelievable. a cycling accident caught on camera in utah over the weekend on a hairpin tour during the tour of utah. you can see a cyclist come barrelling down the hill and slam into a support vehicle. he suffered rib and pelvic fractures. he'll be okay.

>> i think the guy went way overboard, offensive, outrageous, pick your adjective. >> mrs. clinton said other republicans on the debate stage also made offensive remarks about women's health issues. earlier on "today" roger stone said he believes trump wants to become president to change the country's direction and told matt those who have doubted trump so far have been wrong. >> the conventional wisdom doesn't apply to donald trump because he is a larger than life figure. i want him to be more like reagan. give us the big picture vision to save this country. >> meanwhile, stone said he quit the campaign because trump's provocative fights with the media detracted from his core message of restoring pride and jobs in america. >> the toxic spill polluting a colorado river is much larger than first reported. the epa says more than 3 million gallons of toxic yellow sludge

guidines some question whether that advice is still sound. to skip or not to skip? >> skipping breakfast is the number one no-no. >> the most important trick is not skipping breakfast. >> has that advice lost its sizzle? the government's current guidelines say beginning your day with breakfast gives you the fuel you need and can help shrink your waistline. now the washington post points out that old advice may be toast. another study out last year found skipping breakfast for four weeks helped over it is weight people shed pounds. >> the science is really still out in terms of skipping versus eating breakfast and obesity and body weight. >> as government health officials prepare to roll out new 2015 dietary recommendations, will it remake our morning routine or just add more to our plate? >> there were many factors that impact weight gain. maybe skipping breakfast or eating breakfast is one of them,

but not the only one. >> here to weigh in on the great debate is registered dietitian and nutritionist kerry glassman. good morning. >> good morning. >> i was told it was the most important meal of the day because it revs the metabolism and helps you lose weight. why is that wrong? >> i don't think it's wrong actually. you have to remember nutrition is a new science. you have to really look at the old research. the new research. and lifestyle. i have to say when i look at all of the information and even take into account anecdotal evidence from working with thousands of clients for over a decade i'm breakfast. go for breakfast. >> the to be real the reason the study is getting attention they had three groups. people who ate a healthy breakfast, a little something and nothing. those who ate nothing lost more weight. people think should they skip breakfast? >> i don't think so. that was one study. many short studies, there are always different problems.

much of the debate is the other studies promoting breakfast were observational. a lot of studies show breakfast is better for us. >> as a registered dietitian woul you suggest people try it for a few weeks eating breakfast and for a few weeks without? >> i think you know if it did you want work were you. i wouldn't say there is a large group that i would say go ahead and try skipping it. for the majority of the people out there, i still think it does so many good things for you. there are so many benefits that i would recommend eating breakfast. the bigger issue is getting people to change from poor quality breakfast to high quality breakfast. tossing the pastries for the oatmeal and almonds. that's what we need to focus on. the other research is inconclusive. >> another issue about metabolism. if you get up very early, say 4:00 in the morning. should you eat breakfast right

away or wait? i know it starts your metabolism but if you start eating really early you will eat more throughout the day. >> just eat consistently. i recommend people eat within an hour to an hour and a half max of rising. your body is sort of powered down at night. when you eat something, you are breaking the fast. it tells your body to rev up again. just eat the right foods to keep you full and satisfied. >> kerry, thank you. appreciate it. did you get the answer you were looking for? >> i did. thank you very much. >> up next, david beckham going after critics after his 4-year-old daughter is photographed using a pacifier. >> and on pop it is start, howard stern spills the beans on jennifer aniston's surprise wedding. dylan? >> we are per scoping and on tv at the same time. it's a packed house in the orange room. howie mandel is here. >> with bethany. we are going live tonight. >> we have a sneak peek of the real housewives imagine - she won't have to remember passwords.

in any foods. never thought about the coffee i was drinking having acids. it never dawned on me that it could hurt your teeth. my dentist has told me your enamel is wearing away, and that sounded really scary to me, and i was like well can you fix it, can you paint it back on, and he explained that it was not something that grows back, it's kind of a one-time shot and you have to care for it. he told me to use pronamel. it's gonna help protect the enamel in your teeth. it allows me to continue to drink my coffee and to eat healthier, r and it was a real easy tswitch to make. i'm feeling lucky. today is the day. i knew it! (robot voice) activate probe. no way! three rye chips and a breadstick! i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my family?

my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. pnot only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, t but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding v than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. pdon't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. peliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. pdon't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. pif you had a spinal injection while on eliquis pcall your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. pwhile taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... pand it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. pseek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. peliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. ptell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. v eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. v plus had less

major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. 8:14. here's trending. first up, david beckham not having it. he went on instagram to take on his critics. the daily mail published a photo of 4-year-old harper with a pacifier in her mouth.

the article said if she continues to use it she could end up with speech or dental issues. david went on instagram and really let them have it. he said, why do people feel they have the right to criticize a parent about their own children without having any facts? everybody who has children knows when they aren't feeling well or have a fever you do what comforts them best. most of the time it's a pacifier. think twice about what you say about other other people's children. you have no right to criticize me as a parent. so far no further comment from the daily mail. >> amen to that. >> hear, hear. unless the parent is doing something dangerous and it's caught on video or in a photo, leave parents alone. it's a hard enough job. >> step away. >> step off, yes. >> how about this question for the group -- who takes break-ups harder, women or men? >> women. >> well, that was the focus of a study in the uk. they surveyed 6,000 people.

would you say, give me the keys, take them away or, here, let me find you a ride home or walk away. he obviously put a hidden camera in and you have an actor playing the bartender and the guy drinking at the bar and the woman, too. role reversed here. he did gender to see how it would break down. look what happened. >> excuse me. can i get one more of these, please? >> one second. >> reporter: he's slamming back shots and the women are giving him dirty looks. >> can i get just one more round, please? >> don't do it. >> reporter: this woman calls over the bartender. >> next time he asks you, don't. >> reporter: tim is ready to go home. even dropping his keys. they watch him leave. an.d no one stops him. hi, ladies. jeff rossen from nbc. you saw he was drunk. he walked out of here. >> we just said we were going

out there. we knew he wasn't moving. >> reporter: you let him walk out the door. did you think to stop him? >> no. it's a good lesson. you hear too many stories about drunken drivers. i said let's get his license plate number but we didn't stop him which was a mistake. >> it's interesting. you saw clearly a lot of people saying he's had way too much. the bartender should stop serving him. but when it came to the man, nobody stopped him. now let's look -- same experiment experiment. this time it's a woman who is playing the drinking part. take a look and see how people responded. >> why don't you drink some water. >> reporter: this man is already concerned. he seems conflicted moth mouthing to himself, she's going to drive. he gets up, going after her, jumping inside her suv. >> i have a driver. he's my driver. can he drive you home?

i don't want you driving. it's not worth it. trust me. >> reporter: sir, sir. hi. jeff rossen with nbc the "today" show. this is a social experiment. she's an actress. >> can't let somebody kill themselves. god forbid she got into an accident jorks. >> reporter: you got in the car. >> more people do it we'll be okay. >> he did the right thing. what's interesting is jeff explained to us when it came to the men and women it was different, the reactions for the men for the most part everybody -- nobody stepped in. nobody did -- >> do you understand why? >> he said it is intimidating to go up to a man. >> he's belligerent. could be -- >> for the woman, people felt they should do something. >> these were older guys. a young woman. i think they felt a fatherly, paternal interest in making sure she was okay. i think it's sexist on a good level.

>> we're wired -- sexist or just we are wired maybe that way, protective. i was surprised and maybe jeff didn't show it. i would have called 911. i wouldn't have gotten involved but i would have called 911. >> by the time you call he's gone. >> i know. i'm conflicted but my reaction would have been not to go in front of the guy. i wouldn't have gotten into someone's car. >> you want to get the bartender to to something about it. >> it's hard for them. >> i have done it with friends but not with a stranger. >> with bartenders i was a reporter in dallas-ft. worth 15 years ago. there was a huge case where a bartender was accused of over serving someone and someone lost their life. there was ale legal battle over the responsibility of the bartender. the bar itself. and personal responsibility as well. there have been other lawsuits over the course of time. it's a huge legal battle involving that. >> more bartenders pay attention

and i think they definitely -- absolutely. they know if they are the ones pouring the alcohol. >> also sometimes you can't tell. it's easy to say in hindsight if those people are driving. drop the key, it could have been a house key. but the gentleman looked out, saw her going to the car and he took action. >> something else we have been talking about. jennifer aniston secretly got married friday to her long-time fiance, boyfriend. howard stern, leave it to our buddy howard -- i don't think he spilled the beans because there is no such thing. he's just telling all the business to his sirius xm listeners. he was a guest. he has a bromance crush on justin. said it was his dream guy. stern said they told him it was a birthday party for justin but he had advanced warning because he was invited to speak which is risky to ask howard stern to

speak at your wedding. that's a bold -- what? >> proceed at your own risk. >> i would kill to have him speak at my wedding. >> dark natalie, that's bold. >> bring him on, yes. >> that's a bold move. he said everything was kept under wraps. listen. >> they took your cell phone from you. >> right. that's a new thing. everybody turns in the cell phone. >> i said, look, i have things to say. first of all, why can't i have my [ bleep ] cell phone? then i said, in other words, no want to take a picture of you two. i really don't. i want my cell phone so after i make the speech i can call my car and [ bleep ] out of here. >> i love that. jimmy kimmel did a beautiful job officiating according to stern. the part people didn't know is cia performed the couple's first song. we don't know if it was "chandelier" or what song. or if she dressed like that.

like unusual bruising. peliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. ptell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. v eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. v plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. new infallible lipcolor from l'oreal. the new pro-look in longwear. one: l'oreal's intense color. two: l'oreal's conditioning pro-seal balm. intensify without the dry. lasts up to 24 hours. infallible from l'or\al makeup designer paris. i would kill for something sweet. wanna split that? no...soooo much fat... don't fight your instincts. with 150 calories each, try our new rich & creamy cheesecakes. fiber one. you know i tried one of those bargain paper towels. but i had to use so many sheets per spill, the roll just disappeared. i knew i should've

out that old advice may be toast. another study that was out last year found skipping breakfast for four weeks helped overweight people shed pounds. government health officials are prepared to roll out new 2015 dietary recommendations. we have to wait and see. science found a link between food and female desire. women who fasted for eight hours were shown a variety of images. their brain activity stayed the same whether they saw romantic pictures like couples holding hands or neutral pictures like a bowling ball. after they ate, the brains were much more responsive to the romantic images. the takeaway, when you are hungry, you are too focused on food to think about much else. usually true. let's get a check of the weather from al. >> i want to see the picture of the bowling ball. >> that bowling ball does nothing for me. >> we have amazing video to show you. this is from colorado springs. watch this. that dark car, there is somebody

in it. they get out in time. there was a retaining pond that broke free with too much rain. it flooded this neighborhood. look at the hail coming down. the roofs and lawns are covered. this is an unbelievable showing of what happens in that kind of weather. let's show you what's going on today. wet weather making its way from new england down into the gulf coast today. record highs continue through texas. gorgeous day through the upper midwest and the upper mississippi river valley. the warmth continues in the pacific northwest. portland getting up to a high of 91 degrees. heavy rain early on this morning working its way from west to east avoss the area. should wind down into early afternoon. the break period. running the risk of a gusty thunderstorm late in the afternoon towards evening. high to 80. tonight, thundershower south and east.

patchy fog forms overnight. outlook, temperatures milgds s s middle 80s tomorrow. upper 80s friday and nearing 90 from saturday into sunday. and that's your latest weather. >> as everyone knows, al has covered lots of the most intense storms in history over his long career whether it is a hurricane, tornado or blizzard. seems like al is in the thick of it. >> in his book "the storm of the century" al looks at the great gulf hurricane of 1900, america's deadliest natural disaster. >> believe it or not i wasn't around for that storm. there are major weather events that left a big impact on me over the years. >> what i love about being a weather man is every day is different. you can have a good time, send people on their way to work with a smile. >> here's what's happening in your neck of the woods! >> there is a certain sense of satisfaction that when weather

turns bad, you are helping them cope, survive. and they are trusting you to help them. that's a big responsibility. but you're honored by it. i think the one that probablile went the most viral, i was covering hurricane wilma. >> oh, my gosh. >> it was really the first hurricane i covered where i really lost a lot of weight. >> i can hear you now. >> the winds were 100 miles per hour. i had a camera guy who was actually holding my legs so i wouldn't fall or blow away. if you're standing in 100 miles per hour wind, eventually something's got to give. it was me. i went down. it was terrifying. jim cantore and i were covering a hurricane in new orleans. i was about a block away from him. it was raining hard. it wasn't that bad. he was in the middle of what looked like 200 miles per hour winds. could barely stand up.

i joined him. we were literally holding onto each other for dear life. i think during super storm sandy there was a point i was standing on the dunes. my camera guy said, i don't think that's safe. you ought to come down. within 20 minutes the do you know was gone -- dune was gone. the street where we were was covered in three feet of sand. >> they can't get out. >> on the upside, the aftermath, the outpouring of people trying to help by giving of themselves, donating money was impressive to see. >> that's what's great about the weather. it really does bring people together. whether you are having a fun time with something like rokerthon or dealing with a superstorm sandy. i think weather is the one common denominator that doesn't care whether you are black or white, male or female, rich or poor, young or old. it affects everyone. >> you have been right in the

middle of all those storms. >> yeah. >> how did you choose the great hurricane of 1900 for the book? >> a year ago i started looking at getting ready for the 10th anniversary of hurricane katrina. you are looking at other storms to compare them to. everybody in meteorology knew about the great hurricane of 1900 before they named storms. eric larson wrote a terrific book "isaac storm" looking at the meteorologist at the center of this. i thought what a great story. i saw other amazing stories. i worked with a terrific researcher named bill hoglund who found wonderful stories, interesting facts. i was able to actually string it together and create a real amazing narrative, i think, about an amazing time and an amazing city. not only was it wiped off the face of the earth but it came back stronger than before. >> we showed the video of the

reservoir and water rushing with someone in the car. you give great advice on what people should do in a natural disaster. that incident you showed with the person in the car. what do you do if that happens? >> for example, the thing that kills most people in a hurricane is flooding. it's not wind. it's not the rain. it's the flooding. so when we tell people to get out. when we tell people not to drive-thru drive drive through standing water. flowing water can knock you off your feet and you can drown. people tape their windows. don't bother. you can see the damage. a little masking tape won't hold your window together. the last thing when we tell people to get out, get out. evacuate. in hurricane katrina, in sandy, in a number of those places where people didn't evacuate, those are the people who lost their lives. >> first responders put themselves at rick to get you out of there. >> the book is out today.

it's called "the storm of the century," nobody better to write it than our bud ty dy al roker. >> thanks, guys. >> imagine going to work and not having to report to a boss. that's busy day, huh? yup. our annual clearance event really brings 'em in. i can barely keep up by myself.

whatever you want. okay? and you can do what you want. as long as what you want to do intersects with the needs of the business. and also your skills. >> kelly has worked at zappo's for seven y ars. it's always been an un unconventional work place where streamers and stuffed animals are standard office decor. she never imagined this. no job title, no direct manager and if you drink the kool-aid, no limits. >> the biggest question or misconception, assumption people make is it's the wild west. we have no manager so what is it like. >> reporter: this spring ceo tony shay did away with the traditional corporate management structure making headl es by allowing workers to manage themselves, a system called polocracy. instead of a single job and a diwarect boss every employee is part of different circles depending on skills and interests. someone good at sales, event

planning or customer service could contribute to each of those circles and manage themsel heves. >>e, this system we are moming to does have com licated rules wd procedures. so it has been a big shift in and journey for us as a company. >> reporter: john bunch is part of the circle working out the kinks in the c transition. when zappos switched to self-management in march each employee whi offered three months severance pay. almost 15% of the staff, 210 workers decided to go. now for those who stayed one of the biggest questions is how to get a promotion and maybe more importantly, a raise. >> employees are given what we call badges >>based on the skills that they are using. ine their day to day work. as you acquire skills and use them at work, you get promoted. >> if the talk of ciasles and badges has you confused tiere is

a steep learning curve but say the switch is already streamlining how they work. >> the thing that's exciting is new initiatives. new ideas are getting off the ground faster than they used to. >> some compare it to learning a new game. >> it's been hard. it is true at some point the rkules disappear like learni how to play monopoly. there are complex rules but at some point you just play. >> in vegas, even the game of monopoly is a gamble and zappos is betting the house. >> interesting. zappos is trying to make it objective based on work performance and tangible results. less subjective tan promotions sometimes can be. the company says the concept is new and still a work in ogress.oalthough a worthwhile one, they said. >> pretty cool. i'd like to go to vegas. that's awesome. >> i didn't go to vegas. you would have seen me in t e piece if i were in vegas. >> youeren't within that circle. your talents are here but you

didn't have to be there. >> exactly. >> working magic here. up next, it's the tuesday trend. we are showing off a lit le mus mussel mussel. do you think they are divisive? we'll show you with one of my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis made a imple trip to the grocery store anything but simple. so finally, i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that in clinical trials, most adults saw 75% skin clearance. and the ma brity were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability including es fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; "g have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've bn to areas whfre certain fungal
