as penn state students head back to class this morning, this tight-knit community is still reeling from horrific charges of child sexual abuse, and an alleged university coverup. late sunday night, president obama spoke out from hawaii. >> what happened at penn state indicates that at a certain point, folks start thinking about systems and institutions and don't think about individuals. evil can thrive in the world just by good people standing by and doing nothing. >> reporter: these are the penn state locker room showers where then graduate assistant mike mcqueary told a grand jury he witnessed former defensive coordinator jerry sandusky sexually abusing a boy in 2002. pennsylvania governor tom corbett, attorney general in 2009, began an investigation into sandusky. said on "meet the press" sunday mcqueary should have done more.

>> met the minimum obligation of reporting it up but did not, in my opinion, mete a moral obligation that all of us would have. >> reporter: prosecutors want san cuss dito have bail at half a million but his attornthe jud volunteer for sandusky's children's charity, the second mile. saturday's football game, the first since 1965, without lunlg end dear coach joe paterno at the helm was at times some per. nearly 100,000 fans fell sigh tloent honor the victims of sexual abuse. players taking a knee before the game began. before the heartbreaking loss the emotional message from his son, jay on espn. >> dad, i wish you were here. we love you. ♪

>> reporter: all weekend the penn state faithful paid visit to paterno's state college home, leaving mind mementos for the man to stepped out of the public eye. nbc news attempted to contact judge dutchcot but she's been unavailable for comment. former vice president gary schultz and former athletic director tim curley are scheduled to make their first appearances in court thursday. they all deny the allegations against them. >> peter alexander, thank you very much. nbc news uncovered some videotape of jerry khan dusky talking about his relationship with children and given the charges against him, it's rather startling. nbc's national investigative correspondent michael isikoff has more on this. michael, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, matt. years before he was charged with sex abuse, jerry sandusky talked

about his great passion with children. they're words that take on a very different meaning today. >> how did it all start? basically because i'm a frustrated playground director i guess. >> that's jerry sandusky in an nbc news interview in 1987. in light of the sex abuse charges filed against him it's a disturbing look at the man at the center of the penn state scandal. >> i enjoy their enthusiasm and have a good time with them. >> reporter: at the time of the profile, sandusky was a pioneering defensive coach under the legendary joe paterno. he turned down head coaching jobs with other schools to continue his work with the second mile to continue with his charity to help troubled kids. >> sometimes they don't understand what you want to do.

>> reporter: now sandusky is charged with 40 counts of sex abuse over a 13-year period, out on a $100,000 bond and denies any wrongdoing. >> it isn't what happens to you that's important, it's how you react to it. >> reporter: a decade after the nbc news profile, police first investigated sandusky for allegedly showering with and touching a young boy in the penn state locker room. a grand jury report says that investigators from local and university police listened in as the boy's mother confronted him. >> "i was wrong" sandusky told her, "i wish i were dead," but no charges were filed. a year later sandusky at age 55 announced he was retiring from coaching to work more on the second mile charity. lou prado, a penn state sports historian who has known sandusky for years thought that was strange. >> surprised, everybody was surprised but it seemed natural he'd want to spend more time with the kids because he had

this great camp, wanted to expand it and raise more money. >> one of the things would be the trust that would be developed. what we're trying to be is what we think to be is a true friend. >> reporter: but now the charges he sexually abused eight young boys, all of whom he met through the second mile charity, there is outrage over the damage sandusky is is alleged to have done to the children and penn state university. >> what i think of him now? i can't tell you what i'd like to do to him, if i could get him. he's ruined penn state. >> reporter: the circumstances surrounding sandusky's retirement and what penn state officials may have known about his conduct over the years is now a central focus of the investigation. snan. >> ann? >> ikele isikoff, thank you. >> ben andreozzi reptsz one of the victims and jeff deon, one

of the representatives for the national center for victims. >> good morning, ann. >> what can you tell us about him in terms of how old your client is and what his story is? >> ann, i can't release personal information that would actually give the public an opportunity to identify who he is, but i can tell you the emotions and give you an idea of what he's going through right now. and i think it's important to understand that him, and i assume as well as many of the other victims, they've got a real complex emotional response to what's going on right now. it's important to understand that these folks were involved in the penn state football community. they were on the sidelines of football games. they were spending significant amounts of time traveling with the team and/or in the locker room with the team and getting to know members of that football team, so to say that he's torn apart, i think would be an emotion that would explain where he's at right now. >> what are his emotions then watching these allegations

devastating penn state. are you suggesting that, because he's tied in to having watched and being connected to the football program through these experiences that he has a deeper level of emotions that may be hard for us to fathom? >> ann, that's exactly what i'm saying. i think the general public may think that an abused victim in his position would automatically have feelings of negative towards the university and while i think he's very disappointed in the way that members of the university community handled his situation, or the situation involving the coverup, it's not -- its it's a complex issue. we need to understand he's got a variety of thoughts that are going through his head right now, in light of the situation. he was interwoven into this penn state football community. >> are you suggesting he feels not only the pain of this, but also some guilt? >> i think that's fair to say, ann. if you look at sexual assault

victims, it's very difficult for them to come forward and i think it's fair to say that the victims could be thinking to themselves right now, as a result of myself coming forward, look at what's happened to this football program. >> is he at all comforted by the fact that the nation is so outraged that he and other boys were not protected, at least according to these allegations? >> ann, i think it's fair to say that sexual assault victims in general are comforted by the movement that we've seen. i can tell you right now, ann, though, there are negative responses as well, so it's really a complicated issue. i know that he does appreciate the fact that the general public is concerned for him. >> jeff, does this case, as you look at it, fit the pattern of a predator, as has been alleged in the case of jerry sandusky? >> absolutely, ann. predators often seek out and

sometimes create organizations that will give them access to children, particularly children that would be vulnerable to specialized attention from an adult that they look up to, and that's why organizations need to be absolutely vigilant about who is in their midst. >> do we have any sense that all of these boys, ben, have access now to counseling or is that still -- and have they been able to get together and would that possibly help their healing? >> you know, ann, i don't think that i can speak for all the victims, but i can say that the people that have come forward to me, that we have been strongly recommending that they get in some trauma therapy, and that's encouraged, that they do that, you know, immediately, and fortunately there have been organizations throughout the country who have reached out and agreed to provide free counseling for these victims. >> well, that's indicative of how many americans feel, ben, that they want these kids to be

okay. ben andreozzi and jeff deon thank you for being with us this morning. tonight on "rock center" brian williams will be speaking with bob kostis about the scandal. herman cain's wife is leaping to his defense. kelly o'donnell has that story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, matt. it's been two weeks since herman cain's presidential campaign has been rocked by those allegations of sexual harassment, going back to the 1990s and for two weeks, cain has been fighting back on his own, insisting he's done nothing wrong and now for the first time, cain's wife, gloria, is fighting back by his side. >> this is my family. >> gloria cain has been nearly invisible during her husband's run for the white house. >> because this thing is going to move so fast, you may not see

her much so you better look quick. >> reporter: mentioned on the trail. >> i can tell you one thing about my wife of 43 years, she is 200% behind me. >> reporter: but unlike other candidates' wives -- >> she's going to serve, i'm going to shake wives. >> reporter: gloria cain has not been stumping for her husband. >> my wife and i, we have a family life, and she is maintaining the calmness and the tranquility of that family life, so when i do get a day off of the campaign trail, i can go home and enjoy my family. >> reporter: the reluctant campaigner is now stepping forward to defend her husband against sexual harassment allegations. in an interview with greta van sustern will air. >> to hear such graphic allegations. >> he put his hand on my leg. >> and know that that would have been something that was totally disrespectful of her as a woman, and i know that's not the person he is.

he totally respects women. >> reporter: two other women filed claims and received cash settlements, from the national restaurant association where cain served as president. gloria says the claims do not match the husband she knows. "i'm thinking he would have to have a split personality to do the things that were said." cain has repeatedly denied any inappropriate behavior. >> the charges and the accusations ari absolutely reje. >> reporter: fighting back yet acknowledging the strain on gloria. >> she can get angry like anybody else. >> reporter: is she angry about this. >> oh, yes. she'll tell you right now she's angry about it. >> reporter: the family still finds time to laugh at themselv themselves. your mother said your father talks too much. >> a lot, per se. >> we're immune to it.

that's what it is. >> and long before cain's campaign was hit by these allegations, he had said he was running an unconventional campaign, so despite the fact we're accustomed to getting to know candidates' families throughout the process he says it was always his plan to keep his family having private lives and rarely appearing on the campaign trail. gloria is doing something important for cain, acting as a character witness. >> kelly o'donnell in washington this morning, thank you very much. let's get a check of the rest of the morning's top stories with natalie morales. >> good morning, ann, welcome back, matt. good morning, everyone. several major world leaders are supporting a u.s.-backed plan to create a pacific free trade bloc. from the apec summit in hawaii, president obama said no option was off the table in preventing iran from building a nuclear weapon but the president had harsh words for china as well

saying the nation must grow up when it comes to trade and currency practices. following the gop presidential debate this weekend, president obama denounced waterboarding as torture. herman cain and michele bachmann said they'd reinstate the controversial practice to interrogate terror suspects. trouble for anti-wall street protesters in several u.s. cities this morning, in portland, oregon, police drove hundreds of demonstrators from their encampments and arrested dozens of others. in oakland, california, authorities are warning protesters a similar crackdown will come soon. in denver, officers and protesters sparred on sunday, prompting arrests and several minor injuries. some important health news for you this morning. the number of adults with diabetes worldwide has doubled since 1980 and now the international diabetes federation is forecasting that the number will double again by 2030, meaning that one in ten adults would be struggling with diabetes and most would have type ii, which is the kind linked to weight gain and a

sedentary lifestyle. some amazing pictures to show you from the snowy steps of kazhakstan where a team of american and russian astronauts blasted off on a mission to the international space station. the nasa astronauts hitched a ride on the russian soyuz space capsule and the first trip to the station in the post space shuttle era. justin timberlake promised to take chelsea desantis to the marine ball, backed by buff marines asking justin timberlake to be their date. there they are, the singer and actor posted he was proud to be there and enjoyed the chance to be among his heroes or as one marine who attended the ball put it "we all brought sexy back." justin timberlake is the lucky one there. he said he was so moved by the experience. very cool. >> good for her. that's a nice story.

natalie, thank you very much. mr. roker is here, a little warmer. >> natalie didn't you want to finish your second day guess? >> i'm going with -- >> she was still talking over the weekend. i got texts about it. >> madrid. how's that? >> longest guess in the history. >> i worked out every detail of that clue. you got to give me credit. >> and yet still wrong. >> so close, but yet so far. >> anyway, good to see you, my friend. a great job. a great job. we've got a frontal system that stretches from canada all the way to texas. there's rain all along this system. warm air ahead of it, cold air behind it. we're starting to see the rain starting to fire up in west texas. rainfall amounts from about half an inch to an inch. as we travel along the front, heavier rain into little rock. also indianapolis, cleveland, pittsburgh, risk of strong storms there and moving all the way up into maine from a quarter to a half inch of rain before it's all over. that's what's going on around the country. here is what's happening in your neck of the woods.

started out selling vacuum cleaners and as a cruise ship crooner. but the man from milan struck his fortune founding a media empire and now worth about $9 billion. colorful, and vain, he wore a bandana to cover new hair plugs, he's seen to many italians to have a midas touch and a controversial playboy spirit. >> translator: sometimes i see a beautiful girl, i say better to like girls than to be gay. >> reporter: berlusconi is to have hosted bunga bunga sex parties, a phrase he borrowed from moammar gadhafi. with each scandal, italian politics became more of a laughing stock to other european leaders. >> berlusconi was money, sex,

showing off. people are tired of this. >> reporter: what brought berlusconi down wasn't his scandals, it was the economy. italy's slow growth, huge debt and at times ridiculous politics spooked international creditors. interest rates for italy to borrow money soared to unsustainable levels last week. so italians said arriverderci, silvio. thousands toasted with spumanti, calling berlusconi a baffoon. the new prime minister designate couldn't be more different, march yoe monti, a sober economist with gray hair, his own. >> a man very restrained, very shy, economy, with wife been together for all-time. >> reporter: monti promised to end the economic crisis with urgency and scruples.

>> it means there is another italy, which is not just an italy with prostitutes, money, corruption and lack of international credibility. >> reporter: berlusconi is not done with politics efforts but will double his efforts to reform the italian political system. >> richard engel, thanks. coming up an an exclusive tour inside michael jackson's home including the motivational messages he wrote to himself on his private bedroom mirror and what his kids wrote for him but first this is "today" on nbc.

washington, where sky metalwala vanished, just as baffling is his mother's story and lack of frustration. she told detectives when her car ran out of gas she left sky behind asleep inside the unlocked car as she and her 4-year-old daughter went looking for help. she says when she returned an hour later, sky was gone. but investigators seized her car and said her story doesn't add up. >> we test drove it, the vehicle operated just fine. >> reporter: sky's mother is in the middle of divorcing sky's father, solomon metalwala, who is actively involved in sky's search, blamed his estranged wife even though police have not named her as a suspect. >> i do believe julia is responsible. if she can cooperate we can find where is our son. >> reporter: her lawyer tells

nbc news she won't comment on the active investigation but the mother could now face criminal charges for leaving her son behind. >> that's certainly something we're considering but strategically that's not a decision that we've made yet. >> reporter: yet another bizarre twist in this case, bellevue police say they're intrigued by an episode of "law & order svu" that aired before sky vanished. in the drama, a mother tries to cover up her baby's death by saying her son was stolen from her car. >> that is julia's favorite show. >> reporter: police have now scoured her pardon me, a park where sky often played, even a city dump nearby, but today there is no sign of the little boy, only suspicion over his disappearance. police say so far sky's mother refused to take a polygraph test and that her story is "falling apart." again she has not been named a suspect. multiple agencies, including the fbi, are working this case,

captured everything from his inner sanctum, literally offlimits to everyone but him, to love notes from michael's children. welcome to 100 north carolwood in the heart of los angeles, where michael jackson spent his final months, and in true jackson style, the grounds are gorgeous, eclipsed only by the beauty inside. >> how are you, welcome? >> good to see you. thank you for having me. >> come on in. >> reporter: showing us around, darren julian and martin nolan from the auction house preparing to sell everything in here. the decor is majestic. michael lived in this mansion. ♪ why, why >> reporter: as he was rehearsing for his upcoming tour and as you look around, michael's fingerprints are everywhere. as soon as you got to the top of the stairs you're greeted in this beautiful, giant foyer, with high ceilings and of course a piano. michael loved his music. he has a huge collection of pianos here and at neverland.

but the real interesting section of this house right through these doors, this is michael jackson's private bedroom, and when i say private, i mean ultraprivate. michael's children weren't even allowed here, not his assistants, not his security guards, no one. this was for michael only. this was his bed and michael jackson didn't enjoy sleeping in a king. this is a california queen. something else that jumped out at me, a sittingia irin the bedroom and for somebody huge in the entertainment industry, no huge glad screen tv for michael jackson. this was his television set, a fairly standard model. but the real prize in the auction, when they started selling off michael's items, may be this armoire. you can see that michael actually hand wrote something on the mirror, so every time he looked at himself, he would see this. train, perfection, march-april, full out, underlined, may, and a little stick figure that he drew on the bottom.

michael was so desperate for this comeback and tour he wanted to see that motivational message every time he looked at the mirror. how much money would the mirror go for? >> we estimate it $6,000 to $8,000 if you owned it. because it's michael jackson's and because of what he wrote here he desperately wanted to make a comeback this was a constant reminder to him. >> how much will it go for then in. >> $40,000, $50,000. >> that's part of the point, this is michael's inner sanctum. >> anything in here will sell for more money because these were a part of his private life no one else got to see. >> how much of this is for sale? >> everything in the house movable is for sale. >> reporter: right through here is michael's personal bathroom, part of the master suite that is so private only michael was allowed in here, so big it can fit a tub and a chaise lounge in the middle. something interesting through here in his shower by the way is

enclosed in double sided glass is this shower bench. if you look up close, michael drew these stick figures on every piece of wood on the shower bench and this is for sale, too. right through here, as you go out the other side, this is michael's, well i guess this would be his closet. it would be an apartment in new york city for most people and we're told in his final days, this room was literally stacked with his belongings, every closet was filled, every taetop was filled with stuff. michael loved accumulating stuff, and he kept a lot of it right in here. of all the rooms in the house, this one has the most meaning. it's been called the medication room. this is where michael jackson intent his final moments, in fact, it's in this very bed where michael jackson spent his final moments and this bed is going up for auction soon. this is how we're used to seeing the medication room from crime scene photos.

pillows everywhere, pillows thrown around, there's even a doll in the middle of the bed. dr. conrad murray administered the propofol right here at michael's bedside. of course this say piece of history now. >> like his inner sanctum anything in the room is going to have nor value but the bed we estimate 3,000 to 5,000, what the value is with the bed and it's historical significance in this room, it's going to be far greater. >> reporter: do you expect to get perhaps the most money of this particular item? >> we anticipate it being one of the top selling items. >> just down the hall more bedrooms, lavish and spacious. it's believed michael's children, prince, paris and blanket, slept here. in fact you can see the kids everywhere, prince carved his name into this candle. and this is the kitchen, where the family spent much of their time during the day. >> a kitchen that's very similar to what they lived in at neverland, a home that was filled with love, and that's

represented here on the chalkboard. "i love daddy. smile, it's free." >> the kids wrote that. the chalkboard is up for auction, too. also downstairs a living room, a formal dining room and just like neverland ranch, this mansion has a fully functional movie theater complete with velvet seats. michael didn't own this home. he rented it, fully furnished. the homeowner, no relation to the jackson family, wants to remain anonymous. she and the auction house will share profits when the items sell. when you step outside it is beautiful here. >> michael liked private surroundings that are immaculate. >> reporter: this is immaculate, his own private oasis, greenery his protection from the outside, the pool, the poolhouse all part of michael's life in the final months but even this mansion suited for a king couldn't cure this king's pain. ♪ gonna make a change for once in my life ♪

kids, home schooling her kids so a lot of mothers who are out in the workforce are not spending that much time with their kids and she seems to have it all together. >> there's one daughter, 17-year-old ginger duggar, said that a lot of times people think we don't have enough time alone with our parents but our parents take time to spend with each one of us individually. is there any research that indicates whether it is possible to actually be enough of a parent to, when there are so many siblings? >> right. one of the myths about parenting now is that we have to devote our whole lives around our kids, right? and so we only have one or two and we're supposed to post every facebook photo or every note they play on their piano recital. they can't do and that's good for our kids. it doesn't give them the impression the world revolves around them. they act self-centered and narcissistic.

turned into a tv show. it began simply enough with a home video. >> oh, okay. >> don't let him bite you. george, give me your glove. dude! >> we hear the stories, oh, you're just talking and that never could have happened. you didn't catch that. i started carrying a camera with me to take proof that it actually happened. >> reporter: the newest battle these days? >> this is the one i dug out from under the shed. a tegu lizard, like the monitor lizard of central south america. >> reporter: it's presumed a one-time owner set two free and now the tegu population has multiplied beyond anyone's expectation. lieutenant lisa woods knows all too well these lizards like to hide. >> belly crawl through here. >> reporter: this encounter -- >> ooh, i see him. >> reporter: under a home. you're not afraid as you're calling under there? >> no.

i was afraid he would get away. that's what i was afraid of. >> reporter: but the rest of america was afraid watching you in there. >> apparently so. i get a lot of comments about that. >> reporter: tegu captures to date, 119. and then there are the snakes, diamond head rattlers. where did you find him to begin with? >> in somebody's yard. >> reporter: burmese pythons like the tegus, were pets released into the wild, that are now an epidemic. >> not too big. >> reporter: the miami-dade fire department now houses the largest anti-venom bank in the world. >> north american bit by water moccasins, copperheads, black widows, scorpions, king cobra, malaysi malaysian, australian, french, peruvian, kocosta ricans, we ha the world covered. more than 1,000 calls a year for life-saving anti-venom. >> it's liquid gold. >> reporter: the best advice?

>> the main thing we like to say is don't do what we do. >> reporter: but with their supervision. >> go for it. >> can't be hesitant. he who hesitates is lost. >> reporter: i gave "swamp wars" a try. got it. and you can see the snake there did not like being captured, snapping at the camera. this is that seven-foot python here which appears menacing until you look at this. this is a 16-foot python that was captured out here in the last month inside a 76-bound deer. so one of the stars of "swamp wars" lieutenant scott mullen does that mean people should be afraid especially for children in. >> no, they're not a primary food source for the animals, not something we look at. >> reporter: matt, clearly they're on to something and i don't know, theals are looking pretty safe right now. >> that's crazy. kerry, thank you very much. be careful over there. the new season of "swamp wars" can be seen on animal planet sunday night at 9:00, 8:00

central. tomorrow kerry goes behind "storage wars" about people who battle over abandoned storage units trying to find hidden treasure. up next, another battle, trying to raise a teenager.

this morning on "parenting today," raising teenagers. how do you let them grow up and find their way in life? keeping them safe, all at the same time. we asked a group of teens how they thought their parents were doing. >> my mom says her top three fears are me learning to drive, choking and me being abducted and somehow, she ties everything into those three issues. >> sometimes they'll be really strict, don't want me driving. >> my mom doesn't let me drive

and i'm not going to like go drive to like some desolate location and hang out there by myself. i'm going to go see my friends. i have to do the check-in constantly. >> my parents are like oh, call me when you get here or text me once you see this. >> i was recently at a dance and i forgot to call my parents, i turned around and my dad was standing behind me. i was mortified. >> whenever i want to sleep over a friend's house they have to speak with those parents first, which as a 16-year-old, it kind of feels like they should be doing that to my 13-year-old brother and not me. >> my mom still likes to think i'm her little kid. she wants me to text her when i get to school. one day i didn't text her, she calls the school going crazy making sure i got there. >> i understand it's for safety but i feel they should trust me enough that i say i'm going over this person's house, that i'm actually going to do it.

>> when parents say they understand or they know where you're coming from, i don't believe it. >> my parents want me to talk to them like they're my friends but you can't because they won't take it and don't want to hear it. >> parents need to realize while they were teens once, they're not now, so their situations and our situations are not direct comparisons. >> as much as parents think they're helping us, sometimes they're really not. sometimes they make it worse, and they don't really realize. i think sometimes backing off is the best thing. >> wendy mogul is a psychologist and author of "the blessing of a b minus" using jewish teachings to raise resilient teenagers. good morning to you. >> good morning. my daughter turned 13, can i go to the store by myself? when can i do it? i said kind of never. you tell me what's wrong with what those parents have been saying to their kids? >> if you never let her go to the store by herself, when she

goes off to college she's going to be dazzled and dazed because the only person in charge of her will be the 19-year-old resident adviser in the dorm and that's kind of scary. so we want them to get a little experience with independence. >> okay, point well taken and that actually is the practical advice but what is the dynamic that makes this so difficult between teenagers and their parents. >> one is that we feel a tiny bit betrayed. >> as parents. >> because they were so loving and tender. >> and cute. >> and looked great because we picked out all the outfits, and then they get just bigger and lumpier, and they're not quite as forthcoming as they were earlier. >> they get cranky. >> they get cranky, as they should. >> as they should. >> because we are getting on their nerves, because they believe that they should be in charge of everything, and we kind of believe they should be in charge of nothing. >> you actually add to that a very interesting point. you say that teens actually

"kick at authority unconsciously trying to make parents less attractive so it will be easier to leave them." there is a sense that they know something that we don't know, which is that they need to get ready and getting rid of us to some degree is part of that process. >> and we are in the habit of trying to keep them alive. so take the example of driving, where the parent sits in the car and we're just constantly trying to hit that imaginary brake. we are thinking about when they were toddlers and we didn't want them to run out into the street. >> but there's all kinds of statistics, webbndy, stats that told us kids until they're 21 don't really have the reaction times as adults, so that is why driving is actually more dangerous. you get all these statistics about child abductions, and what happens to our young people when they don't have, you know, parental advice, so, guidance, so of course we're going to be more nervous. shouldn't we be? >> what's happened to parents is that our intelligence and our creative imagination have turned

into paranoia, because news like abductions are national news in seconds. so we imagine these children in peril the minute they're out of our sight. >> the bottom line is, if you want to have a resilient child, what do you do then when you're in that panic mode, about something they're about to do? what's your best advice to parents? >> so, for example, the only way they can learn to drive is by practicing a lot, and you kind of use a barometer and judge them, instance by instance, to see if they're home when they said they would be home, if they remember to fill up the car with gas. >> and praise them when they do that? >> and praise them and appreciate it and put the oxygen mask on yourself before you put it on the child. >> oh, wendy mogul you let me have a big breath and a lot of parents i think as well. thank you so much. >> thank you so much, ann. >> great advice. coming up next, sandra lee, she's in the house with some great ideas for throwing an easy and affordable cocktail party.

are about the most flavorful part of the chicken. >> and least expensive as well. so skin on, bone in, you saute onions with garlic, drop them skin side down. this is about 30% the cost of breasts, bone in and skin on. then just some herbs going there, a half a cup of water in there, simmer this for an hour, you pull it. >> which is investing your time, takes a little extra time to do that. >> pulled pork sliders. here is the deal with this. >> pulled chicken sliders. >> sorry. there is your mayonnaise. this is a head of cabbage. one cup chicken tacos with cucumber salsa. in a bowl you'll add a little bit of vinegar. i like apple vinegar, a little bit of sugar and some crushed red pepper, whiz that together, you want this to combine, and then you drizzle that over the top. >> that's the whole sauce for

the coleslaw? >> toss it and that's it. >> from here to here we spent about $6. >> mmm. great. >> and this is a whole meal. >> behind us i want to show some of these guys. >> hello, glad to see you. come on, let's go eat something. look at these! >> i'll eat myself there. >> how come you always show up for the cocktails? >> we're not dumb. >> cucumber cups stuffed with shrimp cocktail. you have a little bit of cilantro, shrimp and lemon juice, $1.25 per person, a sparkling spritzer bar with have nail lavodka you made yourself, a little bit of sparkling water, some persecco or sparkling white wine. these are simple syrups, three cups of water, three cups of sugar, simmer it down. in each one is a separate combination of flavor. >> i got soaked by that. we're back after your local news. sandra, thank you. combination .

we're back with more of "today" on a monday morning. it is the 14th day of november, 2011. when we first came outside about an hour and a half ago, the clouds had rolled in. now it's a beautiful sunny day here in new york city. temperatures still in the 50s so not too bad. out on the plaza, i'm matt lauer along with ann curry, al roker and savannah guthrie. >> hi. >> last we saw savannah at least i did. >> we were in africa. >> having dinner in a french restaurant, don't get the wrong impression, in namibia. it was good to have you on that trip. >> it was fun to be there. >> it was good. it was fun. coming up in half hour, more on the sexual abuse scandal at penn state university. we're going to hear from jerry sandusky, the former coach at penn state, in his own words. this is a tape taken about ten years ago, and recorded about ten years ago, talking about his relationship with children. we're going to hear more about

that, even as one of the alleged victims in this scandal prepares to sue the college. so we're going to be talking more about that. a little bit later on we're going to take a look inside the home that michael jackson spent his final days in. we were granted exclusive access inside the rented mansion. we'll show you what inspirational messages he wrote to himself on his mirror and show you the message his kids left for him. also ahead millions of americans we know are under severe financial stress and a new polls finds that more than half of americans are dipping into their retirement savings, their college savings just to pay the bills. we'll have some advice coming up on how you can cut down on some of the financial anxiety and also good tips. >> on that point with thanksgiving coming up, how do you make sure you save some money as you throw a batch for your family, want to have friends over, we have advice from party planner colin cowell, he has ideas and obviously using

some ideas to create a more modern table setting in some cases so we'll look at that. >> lots to get to. let's go inside, natalie morales with a look at the headlines. >> good morning, once against. nbc has uncovered video of the coach at the center of the penn state child sex abuse accusations at the time that he was working with kids at the second mile program he founded. nbc's national investigative correspondent michael isikoff has more. good morning, michael. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. years before he was charged with sex abuse, jerry sandusky spoke with great passion about his work with children. they're words that take on a very different meaning today. >> how did it all senator basically because i'm a frustrated playground director i guess. >> reporter: that's jerry sandussky in an nbc news interview in 1987. in light of the sex abuse charges filed against him it's a disturbing look at the man at

the center of the penn state scandal. >> i enjoy being around children. i enjoy their enthusiasm and i just have a good time with them. >> reporter: at the time of the nbc news profile, sandusky was a pioneering defensive coach under the legendary joe paterno. he turned down head coaching jobs with other schools to continue his work with the second mile to continue with his charity to help troubled kids. >> everybody needs people to care for them. sometimes they don't want it. sometimes they don't understand what you're trying to do but they want to be disciplined. kids are growing up awfully fast today. >> reporter: now sandusky is charged with 40 counts of sex abuse over a 13-year period, out on a $100,000 bond and denies any wrongdoing. >> it isn't what happens to you that's important, it's how you react to it. >> reporter: a decade after the nbc news profile, police first investigated sandusky for allegedly showering with and touching a young boy in the penn state locker room. a grand jury report says that investigators from local and

university police listened in as the boy's mother confronted him. >> "i was wrong" sandusky told her, "i wish i were dead," but no charges were filed. a year later sandusky at age 55 announced he was retiring from coaching to work more on the second mile charity. lou prado, a penn state sports historian who has known sandusky for years thought that was strange. >> surprised, everybody was surprised but it seemed natural he'd want to spend more time with the kids because he had this great camp, wanted to expand it and raise more money. >> one of the biggest things would be the trust that would be developed. what we're trying to be is what we think to be is a true friend. >> reporter: but now the charges he sexually abused eight young boys, all of whom he met through the second mile charity, there is outrage over the damage sandusky is alleged to have done to the children and penn state university. >> what i think of him now?

i can't tell you what i'd like to do to him, if i could get him. he's ruined penn state. >> reporter: the circumstances surrounding sandusky's surprise retirement and what penn state officials may have known about his alleged conduct, is now a central focus of the investigation. natley? >> still much more to the story. michael isikoff thanks so much outside penn state, thanks. president obama is attending a campaign fund-raiser in hawaii tonight. on sunday at an asia-pacific economic sumity he urged members of a congressional super committee to leave their opinions deadlocked on deficit cutting and said it may took a new congress to pass his $450 billion jobs bill. the wife of gop presidential hopeful herman cain is speaking out for the first time after several women have come forward accusing him of sexual harassment. gloria cain says she doesn't believe the allegations against her husband and said he "totally respects women." some important health news

"money" magazine covers the topic in its current issue and donna rosatta say senior writer

and gail saltz, an nbc contributor. people are under tremendous strain and stress about their finances. >> i see it in my practice and people talking to me in life. everybody is really worried about money and it's interesting, people who are really struggling and have serious concerns, they're worried about are they going to be able to afford health insurance. will they have a job in will they have, really it's about loss, the life that they expected to have, the way they expected to be able to raise their family, what they expected to provide for the next generation. it may not be there and they're really feeling it, even people who have money are anxious, that it will disappear. >> leads me to donna. underscoring all of this is uncertainty. people aren't wrong. that's what i made the point about the recession being technically over, for so many people it does not feel that way. >> mun magazine did a survey with "time" magazine. more than half people feel like the recession is still going on,

even though it ended and almost half of people feel like their personal financial security is worse today than it was in 2008, in the height of the recession. >> we'll get to the tips in a minute. gail, i imagine this can lead to real depression. >> it can lead to depression and anxiety and also lead to health problems, because when you are constantly stressed or what we call chronic stress, your body and your brain are bathed in cortisol, which is the hormone released when you're stressed and it can raise your blood pressure. it has effects on your immune system, on your whole cardiovascular system so it can be a real problem. >> let's focus on things people can do and alleviate some anxiety. the first one, focus on automatic savings. explain. >> that's right. we're saying stop budgeting and that might seem counter intuitive. financial experts say you really need to know what's going on with your money. it's stressful to do a detailed budget. focus on how much you need to save, take that money out of your paycheck directly or from your bank account and whatever is left over is yours to spend.

>> you're saying don't do the line by line budget because that exacerbates the anxiety. that's pretty controversial. >> i would play devil's advocate. it's fine to automatically take out the money you need for bills but you shhave regular meetings with your partner. because it would be easy to stick your head in the sand and not look to what do we need to do in terms of next week and the future with our money. >> but that's kind of generalized angst that i think everyone is worried about here. i love your next tip, donna, worry on purpose. >> that's right. as gail was saying we're not saying you shouldn't be spending any time on your finances, but you need to, everyone is so worried it can lead to insomnia. >> constantly worried like this dull anxiety. >> exactly. set a schedule, set aside some time every day to worry about your finances. >> i love that. >> sit down, whether it's with your spouse or your family and put down a to do list, what are your biggest concerns. if you address that, you can move on and won't wake up at 3:00 in the morning.

>> that's a cognitive behavioral technique used in therapy in other arenas. when you make that list over and over again and specify, you actually diminish, you would find week to week you diminish your anxiety about it. >> time to get to the last two tips, give to others. seems paradoxical but it creates a good feeling. >> it's true. if you don't have a big paycheck to give to somebody else, give your time and that takes the focus off yourself and you also understand that a lot of people are in the same situation or perhaps worse off and you're going to feel better. >> we're out of time. the last one, communicate with your spouse. >> couple, the number one source for arguing, have a weekly meeting, not in the bed room. >> good advice. gail and donna, thank you so much. appreciate it. coming up next, jeff rossen takes us on an exclusive never before seen tour inside the home where michael jackson spent his final moments. later, your body after babies. some advice to help you get back in shape and more of your questions answered in our diet sos, coming up after this.

[ rv guy ] enbrel may not work for everyone -- and may not clear you completely, but for many, it gets skin clearer fast, within 2 months, and keeps it clearer up to 9 months. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers,

and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. if you've had enough, ask your dermatologist about enbrel. it's been more than two years since michael jackson's death and now for the first time we're getting a glimpse inside his rented loss an less mansion where he spent his final days. nbc's jeff rossen was allowed exclusive access. good to see you. >> good morning. really a fascinating behind the scenes look of how michael jackson lived. we've seen the crime scene photos, snapshots of michael's final moments but that's it, until now. this morning you're about to see what no one has ever seen

before. i got full access to michael's mansion and there are cameras captured everything from his inner sanctum, literally offlimits to everyone but him, to love notes from michael's children. welcome to 100 north carolwood in the heart of los angeles, where michael jackson spent his final months, and in true jackson style, the grounds are gorgeous, eclipsed only by the beauty inside. >> how are you, welcome? >> good to see you. zblood to. >> good to see you as well. >> reporter: thank you for having me. >> come on in. >> reporter: showing us around, darren julian and martin nolan from the auction house preparing to sell everything in here. the decor is majestic. michael lived in this mansion. ♪ why, why >> reporter: as he was rehearsing for his upcoming tour and as you look around, michael's fingerprints are everywhere. as soon as you got to the top of the stairs you're greeted in this beautiful, giant foyer, with high ceilings and of course a piano.

michael loved his music. he has a huge collection of pianos here and at neverland. but the real interesting section of this house right through these doors, this is michael jackson's private bedroom, and when i say private, i mean ultraprivate. michael's children weren't even allowed here, not his assistants, not his security guards, no one. this was for michael only. this was his bed and michael jackson didn't enjoy sleeping in a king. this is a california queen. something else that jumped out at me, he has a sitting area in the bedroom as well, and for somebody who was so huge in the entertainment industry, no huge flat screen tv for michael jackson. this was his television set, a fairly standard model. but the real prize in the auction, when they started selling off michael's items, may be this armoire. you can see that michael actually hand wrote something on the mirror, so every time he looked at himself, he would see this. train, perfection, march-april, full out, underlined, may, and a

little stick figure that he drew on the bottom. michael was so desperate for this comeback and tour he wanted to see that motivational message every time he looked at the mirror. how much money would the mirror go for? >> we estimate it $6,000 to $8,000 if you owned it. because it's michael jackson's and because of what he wrote here he desperately wanted to make a comeback this was a constant reminder to him. >> how much will it go for then in. >> $40,000, $50,000. >> that's part of the point, this is michael's inner sanctum. everything goes for for money? >> that's exactly right. anything in here will sell for more money because these were a part of his private life no one else got to see. >> how much of this is for sale? >> everything in the house movable is for sale. >> reporter: right through here is michael's personal bathroom, and again, this is all part of the master suite that is so private only michael was allowed in here, so big it can fit a tub and a chaise lounge in the middle. something interesting through here in his shower by the way is

enclosed in double sided glass is this shower bench. if you look up close, michael drew these stick figures on every piece of wood on the shower bench and this is for sale, too. right through here, as you go out the other side, this is michael's, well i guess this would be his closet. it would be an apartment in new york city for most people and we're told in his final days, this room was literally stacked with his belongings, every closet was filled, every tabletop was filled with stuff. michael loved accumulating stuff, and he kept a lot of it right in here. of all the rooms in the house, this one has the most meaning. it's been called the medication room. this is where michael jackson intent his final moments, in fact, it's in this very bed where michael jackson spent his final moments and this bed is going up for auction soon. this is how we're used to seeing the medication room from crime

red flag is 45 degrees fahrenheit or above. that's the point you unfortunately start tossing things that have potentially spoiled. the freezer is a better story, if it's packed and you keep the door closed it will last for about two days. if it's half filled it lasts for about one day. i realize this is a lot of information to memorize. a great website, homefoodsafety.org, it's smart, user friendly and answers all of the questions. >> if the food starts to fight you, you know it's time to throw it out. >> when in doubt, throw it out. >> throw it out. brandy in jackson, michigan, joining us via the phone. good morning. >> caller: good morning, al. hi joy. my question is, i just had a baby girl five months ago, and she's going to be the last one. i wanted to know how to get back into shape without looking like a body builder. >> so brandi, you really don't have to be overly concerned about becoming too bulky and that's because as women, we produce way less of the hormone

testosterone and testosterone is responsible for really making men bulky, so unless you're going out of your way to deliberately become a body builder, just by doing 10 to 15 minutes a day of a strength training exercise and only three to four times a week, you are going to develop tone, taut, fabulous muscles. i can relate, i did exactly the same thing, started after my third child, and i definitely feel the difference. you could pick up a dvd, or you could peruse the website and find an all over body workout. i'll toss out mine on twitter and facebook. you have a ton of options. >> brandi, congratulations. >> caller: thank you. >> adam from peoria, illinois, are crackers with sea salt healthier than ones with regular salt? >> no. not necessarily, and i love this question, because companies now are putting sea salt in a lot of their products because they tend to have a healthier more natural reputation, but it's the amount of salt you need to worry about,

not the type of salt, because all salt, sea salt, kosher salt and regular, all table salt has stowed yum and sodium is the culprit for driving up our blood pressure and making us feel bloated and heavy and bleh. pick up the box of crackers or chips or any other snack food, look at the sodium, and the one with the least amount wins. and generally you want 180 milligrams or less. >> joy bauer thanks so much. >> thank you, al. coming up next, colin cowey, three different looks for your thanksgiving table, right after these messages. of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis... ...could mean living with joint damage. help stop the damage before it stops you... ...with humira. for many adults with moderate to severe ra,... ...humira's proven to help relieve pain and stop joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis.

dedicated. you could see quickly after that that if she wanted to do it professionally, this is something she could do. >> we loved you in "the help" and loved you in "50/50." and when there was another film, i didn't realize you were behind the scenes directing. >> i directed a short film five years ago called "orchids" also when i was pregnant. i guess this is the thing that i do. >> it's when you can't act. >> exactly. >> you find a way to still be creative. want to kale chips? >> i didn't know in 20 minutes i could feel that many emotions. i was sitting on my couch watching it on the computer with tears coming down. you felt this movie. >> there was a contest. it was a really interesting creative idea. it was sort of an exercise. it was a way to engage the consumer base in a way. over 96,000 people submitted photographs for eight different story categories. like setting and theme and

character, things like that. i was then to choose one. we got it narrowed down from other people. i was to choose one from each category. from that we were going to build a short film. what is interesting about it is that the exercise, i think, worked. and the film bryce made is very personal. it's magical, but it's so visual. i think that's largely inspired by how unique and remarkably these photographs were. i'd say as a creative exercise it was a success. >> it was amazing. typically it takes a long time to develop an idea and develop a project. the contest took place in late may. it's been pretty fast. i think the reason why it's worked out, fingers crossed it worked out, why the story worked out is because we had these photographs and because we were so inspired by these collaborators, who we haven't met yet. >> how can people see this film?

all i could think of while i was watching it. >> we are premiering it tomorrow. >> natural history tv. >> then it will go into a theater for a little bit. then online for a brief period in december. >> to be oscar-worthy something. it could be. >> brian is going to be producing now. that guy cannot stay out of trouble. >> to be honest, he's been asked if he wanted that job before. it's a huge responsibility. he's never felt like he wanted to make that kind of commitment. under these circumstances, he was really compelled. he's getting all kinds of support. he is going to do a great job. ryan is going to do a great show. >> great to see you both both. >> good luck with everything.

we are back with more of "today" on this monday november 14th. we are taking you back to 1971 when women could barely get a credit card without a man's signature and jobs listing were s separated by what sex you were. >> listen to what some say feminine means to them. >> feminism means you're an independent woman who can take care of yourself. >> demanding equal rights in the work place or in everyday life. >> the definition of feminism is men and women have equal rights. >> i don't see feminism as really strong movement today. >> it's not even totally meaningful to me in the sense that i take it for granted equal rights of women.

>> interesting observations. here with us are gloria steinem and the author of "new york times" magazine cover story of founding of "ms." >> great to have all of you here today. >> 40 years. that was a stunner reading the note and realizing where "ms." magazine began. it was just sort of an insert, wasn't it? >> "new york" magazine. that sold out to everybody's shock, especially ours. >> what did you think the reaction was going to be? >> i think we were all very worried about damaging the huge women's movement by having an unsuccessful magazine. so the fact -- >> better than failure. >> we were just very nervous because we cared so much. >> we put everything in it. we thought we better put something in it about housewives, about welfare, marriage contracts, discrimination in the work

place. >> because you might not have another chance? >> it wasn't out there now you look at everything and you can't believe there was a time like that, right? >> one of these young ladies did say, i take it all for granted now. do you see that as a good thing or a bad thing? >> i think it's great to know your history. i didn't. gratitude never radicalized anybody. i did not walk around saying thank you for the vote. you get mad on your own behalf. if i had a choice, i would choose moving forward, not being grateful. >> abigail, must have been interesting writing this article and going back in time and bringing everything together. what did you learn from all of this? >> it was interesting because i was living it. i was one of the "ms." kids. i remember visiting gloria at her desk when i was 7 years old and my mom's milky way bars. those were the highlights. i was struck by how bad it was.

it's just what you were saying, hoda. i don't have the real recollection of how discrimination was so bald-faced and unapologetic in the sexism. reading the clips and looking at the media and the reaction and resistance for a magazine like this was an eye-opener for me. >> do you think there are big issues out there? i know there are. what would you say the number one, number two issues are out there for women? >> i think reproductive freedom is the number one reason. the desire to control reproduction. the ability to have or not have children without government interference to make that decision for ourselves is the biggest determinant of whether we are healthy or not, educated or not, whether we can work or not. that comes first in a big way. >> you are how old?

>> 31. >> you learned about the ms. movement in history. >> yes. i learned about it in modern history class and my life was forever changed. i understand feminism as an intergenerational movement that is thriving and in full force today. the trailblazers here paved the way for us to be more visible and powerful in the media and there is nothing we can't do together. >> what a wonderful spokeswoman you are for the new generation. >> you go, girl. >> feminism can have a positive feeling. some people think there is a negative tone to that word. >> it said do you know the women's movement doesn't have a sense of humor and the person said, no, but i can hum it. we do have a sense of houlor. >> there's been a huge effort to demonize. rush limbaugh calls me a feminazi.

more women consider themselves feminists than republicans despite all the demonizing. >> when you look back at the title, this cover, there is you with a cigarette. >> you were smoking a long time ago. >> even then i didn't inhale. >> oh, we heard that before. >> it made me feel like a writer to have a cigarette, puffing away and not inhaling, which made me sick. >> ladies, thanks so much for coming. happy birthday for the 40th anniversary. >> thank you so much. >> up next, how one woman's healthy habits kept her from dropping her excess weight. ♪ hey, uh what's up with your naked toilet paper? yeeaah, i noticed that, man. inappropriate. naked toilet paper? i don't know what you're... your cottonelle roll just sittin' out? seriously... it's primitive, man. yeah, you're taking it for granted. just cover it up. huh. a roll cover...fancy. that stuff will make your day. toilet paper that nice? deserves respect.

i am 43 years old. i was a healthy size as a child and didn't start gaining weight until college. i gained my freshman 15 and kept on going. by my senior year, i was about 50 pounds overweight. i simply didn't pay attention to my portion sizes. i always wanted to be a tv news reporter, but my professor told me my look wasn't professional enough for television. it was the first time i realized that my size could make my dreams impossible. i dropped out of college only six hours short of a degree and ate myself to 300 plus pounds through daily, unhealthy choices. my philosophy was always, tomorrow i start to diet. one weekend it became clear to me the man i married couldn't pretend to find me attractive any more. it was like my weight was a third person lying in our bed between us. i became a calorie detective. i read labels and pulled up online menus for restaurants

before going out to eat. my plan was a slow one and it required a lot of prayer. it took me 20 months to reach my weight loss goal of 145 pounds. there is no doubt our past struggles and failures have power. my advice for anyone struggling with obesity is to decide today what to do with that power. >> before we meet linda, joy bauer is here to tell us what kept linda from losing the weight. >> we say this every single week, this is one of the most unbelievable transformations you'll see. she is such a love. >> what a cruel thing. >> for that professor to say that. >> horrible. words are powerful. she wasn't new to dieting, but like a lot of people, she assumed certain words mean "diet friendly" and "healthy" like salad. one of the things she would regularly get at applebee's is

the oriental chicken salad. it is saturated with dressing and has the fried noodles. now she investigated. she used her smarts and resources and she orders the chicken caesar salad grilled and gets the dressing on the side and it's half the calories. wait until you see her. >> here is linda's before picture. all right, linda, let's see the in you. >> oh, my god! >> are you joking? are you kidding? >> wow! >> it's not the same person. >> your husband must be flipped out, right? >> he is. he's a big fan. >> it was about 20 months. a good week would maybe be a pound and a half, two pounds.

>> did you exercise or was it just portion sizes? >> in the beginning it was too overwhelming to do the food and exercise. after about three months when i was having success on the scale, i started to walk my dog around the neighborhood, started really slow. >> look at you. what are you doing? >> she doesn't need the kale chips. >> you look so amazing. congratulations. >> god bless. >> all right. guess what we are doing next? >> sandy lee is stirring up desserts. >> we just had a diet! >> it's the holidays. what makes a dollop of daisy so creamy and delicious? care and dedication. our family-owned company has focused on making... the best-tasting sour cream for over four generations. it's made with farm-fresh cream... that's 100% natural without any additives or preservatives. and no added hormones. so you can feel good knowing every creamy dollop...
