And the king is dead. Blues icon bb king dies overnight. Well remember the man and his music today friday may 15, 2015. From nbc news this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1 a. Good morning. Welcome to today on a friday morning. For music fans around the world it is a sad friday morning. Bb king was a legend and he has passed. All of us saying he contributed so much to the world of music. I looked at my phone and my library of music. I have 63 bb king songs on there. We will talk more about his life and music coming up. We want to start with this breaking news. U. S. Marine chopper missing for three days has been found in pieces in the mountains of nepal. What can you tell us . Just moments ago in kathmandu lieutenant marine corps general john wiszler declared it is unlikely there were survivors in the Helicopter Crash and all eight passengers on board were killed. The u. S. Military is no longer calling this a search and rescue operation but a recovery operation. The helicopter on tuesday night slammed into the side of a mountain at 11,000 feet. It took more than three days of searching to find that helicopter in this wreckage. With the six u. S. Marines and two soldiers that were on board. The recovery operation, however, has been suspended until tomorrow because of the altitude at 11,000 feet there are violent thunderstorms and rain in the area which endangered the rescue crews. That helicopter, those six marines were carrying relief goods to those earthquake victims in that region there at the foothills of the hemimalayas. Thank you very much. In other news investigators could interview the engineer from the amtrak accident that killed eight people and injured more than 200 others. The investigation now focusing on the trains sudden acceleration in its final minute. Tom costello is in philadelphia. What is the latest . Reporter a couple of key developments. We know there was an older automatic braking system in place for the southbound tracks but not the northbound tracks. This automatic braking system might have prevented the accident. Police have a search warrant for brandon bostians cell phone records. He was active complaining about safety lapses. This morning the ntsb says it is eager to talk to engineer brandon bostian. The first lawsuit against amtrak alleges gross reckless conduct filed by an injured offduty employee who claims he was violently hurled inside the rail car. The train was accelerating for a final minute before derailment, 43 seconds before the crash, 80 Miles Per Hour. 31 seconds before the crash, 90. 16 seconds before the crash more than 100 Miles Per Hour. I dont think any common sense rational person would think it was okay to travel at that level of speed. Reporter the question, did engineer bostian notice he was speeding. His attorney insists he turned the cell phone off and put it in his bag but doesnt remember the accident. An investigation that bostian warned about Railroad Safety saying the possibility of human error is frightening. In a statement amtrak ceo says amtrak takes full responsibility and deeply apologizes for our role in this tragic event. What is amtraks policy about distractions in the cab . We try to minimize distractions. They are not allowed to have cell phones. They cant use them. Reporter the ntsb is hoping to interview survivors about where they sat on the train and how they managed to escape. We want to find out where they were seated and their injury patterns so that we can start correlating their seating with the injury siesnjuries. Reporter meanwhile, the ntsb says positive train control, this new technology would have prevented this accident. The trouble is because of the slow down in getting an upgrade on the radio frequencies for the track it hadnt been in place yet and should be in place by the end of the year. Positive control was not yet activated in the area is there anything else in the engine that would alert the engineer to the fact that he or she is going too fast . Reporter i have seen engineers when they sit there as they accelerate there is an automatic Warning System checking to make sure that the engineer is still there and alive and doesnt have a medical issue. He has to push a button. It increases in frequency as the speed increases. He should have had alarms and warning bells going off and should have been hitting the button. A lot of people are asking about the experience level that is required for an engineer to travel a certain route. What do we know about what amtrak requires in that area . You get three months of training to become an engineer and then two years on the job training. Engineers are certified for their route. He should have known his route very well. In other words, he cant take an engineer from buffalo and put him on this route as a subunless he knew the route. Real quickly, that question you raised, what lessons from this crash in terms of where you are on a train and what impact it has on your ability to survive a crash . Its a little bit the luck of the draw because most crashes, of course, either occur if you are going and hit something or if something hits you from the rear. Because of that experts say the best course is usually to pick a middle car and pick an aisle seat as opposed to a window seat. Thats the best chance you have of surviving. Tom, thank you very much. We are going to hear from one of brandon bostians friends coming up. A rocky week but all but jeb bush as he grapples with the shadows of his brothers iraq war policy. He clarified his position for the fourth time this week on the question would he have taken the country to war. Knowing what we know now what would you have done . I would have not gone into iraq. Lets go to carl rove known as the architect of both of his president ial victories and now a fox news contributor. Good morning to you. Four answers, four days. Do you think jeb bush blew it on this question . Well, i wouldnt say blew it, but on tuesday he was asked a question would you have done Something Different and he said yes. Wednesday he said yes there were mistakes. You dont go to war without the right intel. This is the kind of question where people like you and people who are political junkies need to hear the words would not have gone in. And so the good news for him is he has had a bad week and he has 36 more weeks until we start voting in iowa and 250 days. He is a smart guy and lessons learned, say it with clarity. If you need to clean it up, clean it up fast. Part of his argument to republican primary voters is that he is a competent candidate. This is the single most predictable question he could have gotten. Were you surprised that he struggled with it . That it took him four days to come up with the answer. 3 c3 carrera estuviste antes, que tan who made the mistakes won. We will see from here on out. He is a very smart guy. He is not a guy who needs to have a lesson taught to him twice. Do you think part of this is his feeling of loyalty to his brother . He said im my own man but its hard to disagree in public with his own brother. What he ought to do is realize and i think he does, he is his own man. Say what you believe. I think this is more the mistake i think was made here was one of thinking that when asked would you have made a different decision and he says yes that that was the answer. And then when he says you have to go in only on the basis of the best intelligence and that wasnt done here, mistakes were made with that, that people would draw inference that he would not have gone in. Would you have gone in if you knew what you know now . You need to have the answer would not have gone in and he gave it. Issue over. Well see if the issue is repeated again. Something tells me he is going to recognize that little different than when he last ran for office and the timeframe for which you need to clarify and clean up. 3 c3 ¿planeas apoyarlo . Well, no im not planning to endorse anybody. I want to win. I have a long friendship with the family and a long friendship with jeb. Im like a lot of people sitting on the sidelines watching and waiting. I want everybody to get in as a candidate and start showing up what they have and how they show up on the campaign trail and how they show up in the debate. Im months away from making my own decision. Appreciate it. As expected super bowl mvp tom brady is appealing the four game suspension over deflate gate.

And the engineer of the amtrak train has now agreed to an indepth interview with investigators from the ntsb. One question they would like answered why did that train accelerate from 70 Miles Per Hour to over 100 Miles Per Hour in the final minute before that derailment. So many questions. Were now hearing from friends of the engineer for the first time. Stephanie gosk has that story. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, savannah. So much of the attention has been on brandon bostian. We know hes been an engineer for more than four years. A conductor before that. People who know him say he is fascinated by training and this is a job he loves. And now friends are coming out in support of him online. Phi hours after the deadly crash, the engineer of amtrak 188 changed his profile picture to black. Brandon bostian hasnt posted since, but comments from friends and family are flooding in. Stay strong. Supporting you, brandon. Youre in my thoughts brandon. I know how dedicated you are to your job. There is a common thread. Bostian loves train. Ryan smith met him at the university of missouri where they belonged to the same church. I was shocked considering what kind of person he is. He wasnt just doing this as a job, like yeah i got to pay the bills so im going to take this job. It was like this is what i love to do. Reporter the 32yearold engineer grew up in memphis. He wrote transportation stories for the local people. As a College Student he worked as a cashier for target. His first job with amtrak was in San Francisco working on the commuter line cal train. Bostian was promoted to engineer in 2010. To be promoted he would have had to pass a course like the one offered at Modoc Railroad academy. Candidates have to be licensed conductors and pass a truck test. Hours are spent in a simulator like this one which demonstrate the importance of maintaining safe speed. If we were to take this curve at 30 miles an hour even at 30 miles an hour it would roll the train over. Reporter modocs president believes the job is so demanding there should always be more than one engineer driving the train. Were just tired. Thats what theyre not saying. These guys are exhausted. Theyre overworked and the job is too much for one guy. Reporter bostian has agreed to an interview with the ntsb. Among the topics will be his physical state at the moment of the crash. But it wont be the only fact that theyre considering. Back to you. Just the perspective to get. Thank you very much. On a much different story, weve got new developments this morning on that International Incident that was triggered by johnny depp and his dogs. After being threatened with euthanasia in australia those dogs are back on a plane to the united states. Heres nbcs joe fryer. Reporter australian tv reports that the dogs have left australia. A convoy carrying johnny depps fatherinlaw and reportedly the yorkshire terriers was just seen arriving at the airport. That plane has now taken off. Its time that pistol and boo go back to the united states. Reporter the reason for their mad dash from down underer . The agricultural minister threatened to euthanize the dogs. He accused the actor of smuggling the pets into the country without permits. Theres quite a few hurdles to go to australia. Reporter at global animal transport in Southern California susan foley helps families take their dogs to australia legally. The reason they take it so seriously is that australia is a rabiesfree country and they dont want animals entering their country that have disease to spread. Reporter other rabiesfree countries include japan. Hawaii also has no trace of the virus. As for depp when he returns to the u. S. , hell need proof the yorkies have been vaccinated. They may require the dogs be quarantined until he can provide that. Everyone stay calm. We are taking over the ship. Reporter depp went to australia to film the latest chapter of pirates of the caribbean. They had to import monkeys so depp should have known the rules. Social media has dubbed it the war on terriers. With thousands signing a petition to save the dogs. One calling it an uncaring government. I cant believe that two little terriers occupying time after 23 million australians need the cabinet working for them. Reporter and for depp mans best friend have now become australias unwanted guests. For today, joe fryer, nbc news. Well. I guess i understand animal lovers signing onto these petitions but the fact is if youre a real animal lover, you support the law thats designed to protect animals in australia from diseases like rabies. Thats the whole point. Right. Anyway. Lets get a check of the weather from al. Thats right. Weve got more rain to talk about. Its kind of ironic. You talk about a drought in Southern California and yet look at what happened in san diego. Theyve had their third wettest may ever. Record rainfall in los angeles, also in san diego. And its going to continue again today. Look at what were talking about. Again, so this is the Drought Monitor on may 5th a week ago. Weve had all this heavy rain in texas. Look what happens. Almost all the drought in gone in texas. But look how much exceptional drought there is still left over in california. And you can see more rain just off shore. Its going to be a rough morning commute for folks in california from los angeles to san diego. Rainfall amounts, another inch but locally could be up to 2 to 3 more inches especially south of san diego as well. 7 37. Thank you, al. Happy friday to you at home. We do have some clouds lingering out there. Temps are going to be comfortable today. Into the mid 60s. On the peninsula. Same for us in the south bay.

This is a warning for single moms and the impact that could have on your well being. Erica hill has more on this. Erica, good morning. Reporter it is a sobering headline. Single mothers at risk for poor health later in life. A Study Suggests that women here in the u. S. Are particularly vulnerable. The question, does being a single mother impact the Womans Health . For the answer, researchers poured over surveys. Results of 20,000 women in the u. S. And europe found parenting alone takes a major toll. The women most impacted are the ones who have children before the age of 18, if theyre a single parent for more than eight years. If they had two or more children. Reporter it compared surveys from england, u. S. , and other european countries. Its not the first to make a link. Single mothers have increased health risks. We know from Previous Research that women who are Single Parents can have a greater risk in their lifetime of overall mortality, cardiovascular disease, and Mental Health issues. Reporter while this study didnt look at why single mothers experience more health issues, one major factor could be stress. I never get a break. Reporter sarah mays has spent eight years as a single parent. And she feels it. If my kids social life, the cat, the house and then somewhere down here is me. Reporter but its not too late to make a difference. Doctors suggests something as simple as scheduling time in that busy family calendar for moms checkup and even blocking out some down time can have an impact. A good reminder for the more than 9 million single moms in this country to try to take a break. So one thing that was pointed out in a number of these studies, they havent looked on a broad scale at the direct medical correlation, but a lot of it does. People say it comes down to stress. It has to. Yeah. Its an incredibly difficult job. I think parenting is like a fiveperson job. People doing it by themselves is stressful. Erica, thank you.

When youre a kid in sool whats one of the first things you learn about fish . Theyre scaly. They travel in schools. Theyre coldblooded. Thats right.

Its an outfit by outfit decision. Its short shorts its not about being cool. Its often a conversation about girls and women. My daughter came home from school shes 11, and one of the principals told the girls that its appropriate if they stand up that their shorts cannot be shorter of where their wrists hit their legs. But to tell them youre going to make the boys thats the problem. Can i request you dont wear shorts any higher than that. No complaints. We know babies have particular tastes. One infant had no problem showing her disgust during a feeding. This is autumn. Check out her look getting avocado for the first time. Not a fan. I dont think she likes it. So hold the guacamole.

No no no no, no, no, no. Is this something left over from the bachelor days . Dave is great. Yeah. And the funny thing is theres probably a whole generation that doesnt realize he was first at nbc. He started with a daytime show and then moved tonights. And his studio was across from our local news studio wnbc when we do live at 5 00. And he would bust in on our show. I think weve got some tape of it. During a live newscast. If anything goes wrong, its your show. Okay . Okay. Ill be right back. Have you done the weather yet, al . I want to do the weather.

Gator just casually walks onto your yard. What would you do . Yikes this is the cutest thing. Tonya from South Carolina took photos of her young kids watching. A tenfoot gator just walked across their lawn yesterday morning. They first apparently thought it was a giant turtle. No. That could kill you. Lila and james, thats not a turtle. They ran inside when they saw the gator start moving. Good idea. Police also took this picture of the gator strolling down a sidewalk nearby. But look, they are in awe. It could be a raptor walking across your front lawn. My favorite part if you go back to the first picture of them in e the window my favorite part of this picture if we can pull it up i know that might be difficult. Im sorry. Look at his diaper.

Insects will not bite through the fabric. However, if there are a lot of them and a lot of competition and they are desperate they could find spots of skin that are not covered.

I havent been to her place lately. I do want to go see her in vegas. I think she is working really hard and i think people are being really mean to her on social media. Not just because i consider her someone i love. But shes going through it. And shes trying to bring it. She really is. Its hard. Women, aging, diva all of those things i think it comes into play. She also has one of those voices you have to take care of. That huge instrument. It goes down it doesnt work. I wish i had something happy to end on for you guys. Thats it . Thats it.

If youre looking to make meals that will keep you full without packing on calories and youre cutting back on red meat protein. These are high in lean protein. Im going to share some of what i make for my family. And i know there were some skeptics about this. Willie . One bite changed everything. Yeah. He was worried because it looked too healthy. Which is not a bad thing. Tuna and quinoa salad. You can amp up the protein by adding quinoa which is a grain but still with protein. Drain off the water and oil off the tuna. Water is lower in calories. Going to boil some hard boiled eggs. Then youre going to get some great vegetables. Blanch some asparagus, string beans, potatoes. Make your quinoa. And youre going to add what youd like to some you could either do iceberg lettuce or romaine or arugula. I like that you build your own too. You put everything in. Put your tomatoes in chop them up smaller if you want. What about the dressing . We made a nice lemon vinaigrette. Good. Really nice. Now, snacks. Again, you want to try to keep your kids and yourself low on carbs, higher on protein. You get tom sweetness and sugar from things like the dried apricot, cranberries, raisins, or dates. These are basically like a little seeds. And you toast yours . I like to toast them. If youve ever had your papapita toasted that was a setup for you. Then you put them in snack bags like this. Like your own trail mix. Super cool. Last thing i love to make is kind of a Roasted Sweet Potato brown bean burrito. Youre going to dice up your Sweet Potatoes put them in the oven for about 30 minutes until they get just a little caramelized and soft. And then youre going to take this and pour that in here. Put that in. And then youre going to take some tomato sauce, some stewed toematoes and add whatever you like. Sometimes i add onion and garlic. Sometimes i add corn and a little diced pepper. And then i like to put in some chili, smoked paprika. Then youll put a little olive oil. Youre going to make all of this together. You come up with a nice little melange like that. Put it in your whole wheat burrito. Absolutely delicious. I love a chicken burrito. Im not even missing it here. It was really good. And i was prepared not to be impressed. I make that once a week for the kids. Do you really . Yeah. And the recipe is online . Yes. Everything is on today. Com. Best food section online. Up next willie tamron and i sing a cappella.

Before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic ask if xeljanz is right for you. Xeljanz is a small pill, not an injection or infusion for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. Xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms and help stop further joint damage. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. Dont start xeljanz if you have any infection unless ok with your doctor. Tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. Your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. Tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. One pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage even without methotrexate. Ask your rheumatologist about xeljanz. Youre not going to believe this. It was 30 years ago when we first fell in love with this adorable kid named Matthew Broderick. Yes.

And im arnold palmer, professional golfer. Know what we have in common . We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. Thats why i took xarelto®, too. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. I took xarelto® for afib. An irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. Hey, well im glad we got together. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. I tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. Tell me about it. Lets see, golf clinic, or blood clinic . Ooh, thats a tough one. Not this time. Not with xarelto®. Anything else . Ill have another arnold palmer. Ok. Make mine a kevin nealon. Really, brian . Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u. S. And that numbers growing. Like your guys scores. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. You may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. At chase, we celebrate Small Businesses every day through programs like mission main street grants.

If youre the type that likes to buy prewashed lettuce or the precut veggies because theyre a time saver, you probably know youre paying more for that convenience. But in some cases, youre paying achz as 300 to 400 more. So the question is, is it worth it . Here to help you figure it all out, how to get the better buys at the Grocery Stores is shopsmart lisa lee freeman. Okay. So as much as such a shocker. We actually priced out dozens of Convenience Foods and some of them actually dont come in a high premium. The markups on other ones are huge. Because its labor intensive. Onions. The onions is the biggest. Had the biggest markup. Because the eyes. It makes you cry to cut them up. You should cut your own. Because how much more . 70 markup on this versus this. Can i tell you, we take this. Put that in your basket. Nobrainer nobrainer. Just because i like its really hard for me. Can you put a lemon on something . I dont know. Anyway. What is this . Butternut squash. This markup on this is pretty big, too. And it is kind of unwielding to bring home this thing. Its costs twice the price to buy them cut up. But we had a quick trick that makes it easy to cut up. What . Put them in the microwave. Put it in the microwave for five minutes. It softens it up. You can chop it up easily. This is so convenient. Im going to say throw this in your cart. The markup on this get the chopped up in. The markup is only 50 . And you dont have to buy all the different vegetables. There is not a lot of waste. This is a kneelmeal in a bag. Okay. There is important. Kale. Okay. I dont want gourd. Kale is so good for you but such pain in the butt. It is unwieldy. So its much better to buy the cutup stuff. Get the cutup. But it costs over 300 more. Okay. So i prefer to buy it cut up. You know if it makes you eat more of this stuff, if it gets you to eat more of it. My gosh give me that gourd. Lets go to the deli. All right. Meat counter. Its a real pain to make your own patties. You get your hands greasey. The markup is only about 16 . You may as well go with the patty. We have another minute. Okay. Miss bossy pants. Fresh versus prepackaged. Yes. Believe it or not fresh is cheaper. For ham, cheese. We found it costs less to get it hand sliced. It does taste different. It does taste better. Should you fwhi bulk when it comes to catchup and cereal . Yes. Pay attention to the unit prices. The bigger always pays. You want to pay attention. Catchup can save 42 over the small. This can save 37 . These are the biggest savings. And what about the ziploc stuff . 30 cheaper. Bad for them. Thank you lisa.
