And double standard . An revealing social experiment. He attacks her, then she attacks him. I wasnt cheating on you. You wont believe how differently witnesses reacted today, friday, october 3, 2014. Announcer from nbc news this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Welcome to today on a friday morning. Tamron is here while savannah is on maternity leave. Als making his way back from afghanistan. Seems every day we had some new development in this ebola story. Absolutely. Well get to our top story. Its touched our extended family a. Photo journalist working with dr. Nanscy snyderman and her tem in liberia tested positive for eba la. Dr. Nancy is with us by phone from monrovia. Good morning to you. How is this young man ashoka mukpo doing . Matt, he sounded well. Its been quite a lot the last 48 hours. When he realized he had a fever and feeling achy in this environment the word ebola pops to the top of everyones mind. He selfquarantined, got his test. It turned out to be positive. At that point it was all a matter of logistics, stabilizing him. He is with Doctors Without Borders and will be air lifted to a center in the United States. Hes good. The amount of virus in his body is low and he should have a good prognosis. Theres a larger team there in liberia, nancy, with you. So the question is, how long had you been working with him and how close was the contact between you and the other members of the team with him once he became symptomatic . Well, once he became symptomatic we only spent a few hours. He and i were working in a work space when he told me he wasnt feeling well. He joined us 72 hours earlier as an independent journalist and had been in the hospital in the country two weeks prior to that. So, my suspicion is that he was infected before we met him and then he became symptomatic once we met him. We shared a work space, we shared vehicles, shared equipment. Everyone here is hyper alert. We have not been in close proximity, no one shakes hands, there is no hugging. So i do believe that our team, while we are being hyper vigil lent were at very, very low risk for becoming ill. And yet youre going to fly out today, youre monitoring your temperature quite a few times during the day. From my understanding once you get back to the United States, youre going to selfquarantine up to 21 days. Yes. Were taking this very, very, very approaching this very cautiously and probably more judiciously than other people because we want to send the right message that we will self quarantine on our own, take our temperature twice a day. If we have a fever we will then obviously get tested. But the norm is, because you must come into contact with bodily fluids, vomit, diarrhea, blood, urine or sweat directly, that because we have not had that kind of exposure, even though i was in ebola Isolation Unit i was wearing protective gear, i disrobed according to protocol. We had recognized and observed universal precautions here. And were going to extend that for for 21 days out of courtesy respect to our colleagues and the United States. That certainly is making sense. By the way, wish ashoka mukpo our best. The reason were doing a phone interview with nancy is because all of the camera gear that they have been using to bring the story to the United States is now being disinfected. Our best to you and your team. Thank you. Ashoka mukpos parents are with us now. Good morning to both of you. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. Good morning, tamron. Thanks for having us. Dr. Levy, let me start with you. You spoke with your son on the phone. What can you tell us about his spirits and what hes told you regarding his condition . I just talked to him earlier this morning and his spirits seem better today. I think obviously hes scared and worried. Hes been filming whats happening in liberia for two weeks and seeing the death and tragedies. And now its really hit home for him. But his spirits are better, he knows he goesing to come home. He has a couple more days and also his symptoms still are fairly mild, just a mild fever. So i was happy to hear how hes doing, Walking Around and definitely more cheerful, tender but cheerful. Request i know as a mother you are pleased to hear he is cheerful but we cannot imagine the worry and the stress you are experiencing. What more did he tell you regarding the conditions there and the care he specifically is receiving as he await as trip back to the u. S. . Hes receiving the best care possible that they can offer him. The Doctors Without Borders in monrovia. Still, it cant possibly because of the lack of resources compare to what is going to be available to him when he gets home to the United States. I think the enormous anxiety that i have as a mother or that we share as parents is the delay between now and him leaving on sunday. The state department has been fantastic, they have been compassionate. I cannot say how much i appreciate how wonderful the government has been and i believe they are doing things as quickly as they can but that doesnt take away from the fact we know he is still going to be in liberia until sunday and i really can only hope and pray his symptoms dont worsen. Dr. Levy, when you spoke with your son you told him how proud you are of him and that he returned to that country to expose what was happening, the plight of the thousands who have died. And the social situation on the ground there. Yes. He spent two years in monrovia working with a Nongovernment Organization and made a strong connection to the liberian people. And he felt strongly when he started to hear what was going on that he wanted to go back. And almost to make a difference, and i was obviously concerned as a parent but proud that he has the integrity and desire to do something good and so went back to monrovia. So im happy that he had that integrity and concerned that he put himself in harms way to do that. Thank you so much for your time under these circumstances. Thank you. They must be so worried. By the way, Nancy Writebol one of the First Americans to contract the virus in liberia, brought back to Emory University where she was cured sent me an email. I wanted to drop awe note to let you know how sorry to hear of the news of the camera man that tested positive for ebola. Please know well be praying for all of you. So obviously this news spreading quickly. In the meantime, were learning more about why Thomas Duncan, the first person diagnosed here in the u. S. Was allowed back into the community after going to the hospital with symptoms of that virus. And some of the people who had contact with duncan now quarantined as a precaution, are speaking out. Nbc National Correspondent kate snow is in dallas. Good morning. Reporter good morning. At that apartment where the residents are where duncan used to live, they are starting to complain saying why are we inside this apartment the same place where the man got so desperately ill . This morning cleaners are expected to arrive to sanitize that apartment. Meantime, the hospital late last night clarifying what happened one week ago today when duncan went to an e. R. And was sent back home. New information this morning the hospital says when Thomas Eric Duncan came he had a fever and symptoms that could have been caused by many things. A key point when asked he told the nurse he had not been around any one ill. He said the same thing before boarding a plane to leave liberia, duncan did tell a nurse he had been in africa in the last four weeks but due to what the hospital call as flaw only nurses could see his travel history on a patient record doctors did not. And he was released. Now, disease detectives are on a frantic search to track down any one who had contact with him monitoring those at high risk. These people will be called once a day, visited once a day, take their temperature, look for symptoms. Reporter the people who live in the apartment where duncan got sick are being closely watched. Im worried. Im worried. Reporter oliver speak nbc news from inside the apartment four days after duncan left in an ambulance, his dirty bed sheets still inside. Why do we have us quarantined in an apartment thats highly contaminated that has such high risk to contract the virus. Reporter thursday a cleaning team arrived, city officials arranged for the specially trained cleaners to canofsanitize the place. Its unclear if the cleaning has happened yet. A food bank sent in a threeday supply of meals leaving the boxes outside the door. Down the street also quarantined, the daughter of duncans girlfriend, her husband and four kids, ages 2 to 11. They say they are going stir crazy, i spoke her, her kids spent a lot of time near duncan last weekend. Hugging him, we pray to be okay with us. Reporter duncan is in isolati isolation. His mom recorded this video message for her son. I want for you to hug me for all to see each other. He needs help. He is suffering. But this is not the way any one would want to go down in history. Reporter the president has called the mayor of dallas to make sure they have everything they need here to deal with this crisis. Meantime, in liberia the government there says they will prosecute duncan for lying on the questionnaire when he was leaving liberia. He said on that he had not had any contact with any one who had ebola. Back to you in new york. Matt. Kate snow in dallas, thank you very much. Earlier this morning we talked to dr. Tom frieden and i asked him why the apartment that Thomas Duncan was staying in wasnt immediately cord onned off and cleaned. This is the first time weve ever had a case of ebola in the u. S. And there are issues to make sure that when things are removed, its done safely, its not going to be disposed of in any way that would abrisk. We have to check with the people in dallas. But this was a week. And obviously as a head of the centers for Disease Control so concerned about the spread of this virus, is it acceptable that an apartment would be in that condition, a hot zone basically, for a week after that patient left that building . We have had our staff working with the local authorities who i understand that bleach has been used and this is something that we expect to get resolved today. Seemed like it took a lot of time to have that taken care of. Yes. It does seem that way. Well have more throughout the morning.

Stephanie, thank you very much. Hot button issue of Domestic Violence. How would you react if you witnessed it . Jeff rossen is here with a real eye opener. Jeff, good morning. Tamron, good morning to you. This is such an important topic. So many people, men and women, victims of Domestic Violence, one in four women suffering through it, one in seven men are abused by a partner. What if you were walking down the street and saw it happening right in front of you . Would you step in if a man was assaulting a woman . What if it was the other way around, a woman beating up the man . This morning youre about to see a stunning social experiment. A warning here, some of the video is disturbing. You could tell me the truth. Why you talking to that guy last night . A boyfriend and girlfriend arguing on the street and it t gets violent. Listen the crowd speaking up. What they dont know, this boyfriend and girlfriend are just actors with the improv group octv, setting up a social experiment to test reactions. Its ripped from the headlines, tmz sports video of ray rice hitting his wife in the video, causing worldwide outrage but when Solange Knowles hit jayz, people laughed. Even comedy spoofs on tv. Let me tell you once and for all what i think of this man. Reporter so these actors hit the streets and posted their video online. Were doing a Domestic Violence experiment. Im going to be abusing him, hes going to be abusing me and well see who gets more attention. Listen. Listen. Reporter first the guy abusing the girl. Wait. Look at me. Look at me. Im talking to you. Reporter watch how people spring into action. This woman, jumping over bushes to pull them apart. Stop, stop. You dont talk to him. Im not playing. Reporter this man literally tackling the guy on the street. Were filming. Are you all right . Were filming a social experiment. Were just raising awareness. Reporter every time they ran the scenario, bystanders ran over to help. Then you switched it up and you were assaulting him . Yes. Reporter were you surprised by the reaction . Astounded. Reporter shes going to town on him. Watch acres very different reaction. This guy in the red hat is taking video. Some are even laughing. This guy walks over and joins in, slapping the man. Im getting goosebumps watching it. Reporter we showed the video to katie ray jones, ceo of the national Domestic Violence hotline. Its really heartbreaking to see that there could be a man on the street suffering and no one offers to help. Reporter we do have ta double standard in society, right . We see a woman in help, we want to jump in and help her. When men reach out to us, they often say they tried to reach out to someone or coworkers knew and they were told to put their wife in check. No matter who the victim is, Domestic Violence is not okay. Amazing video. Experts say many victims, men and women, suffer in silence. We have more information about what to do if you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship. Go to today. Com. We also have the phone number for the Domestic Abuse hotline. Somewhere around 20 of Domestic Abuse victims are men. And that number certainly is growing, even in middle and high schools, boys are victims as well. Some of the inaction was disturbing. You like to see that people are willing to put themselves on the line. And the woman who jumped over the fence. A lot of women jumped in, too. That was impressive. Jeff, thank you very much. Lets get a check of the weather now from dylan. Announcer todays sunday night football weather is brought to you by nfl mobile. Exclusively from verizon. You guys ready for the weekend . Yes its going to be a hot one in california and very cold one through the middle of the country where this dip in the jaem jet stream is creating freeze warnings. Fire danger season has been relentless out there. And with more heat in the forecast, heat advisories in effect in San Francisco and san diego, we also have some red flag warnings because of the hot, dry wind and that could, of course, fuel any fire that develops and perhaps make it spread. Take a look at our temperatures. Were running 15 to nearly 20 degrees above average for highs. San jose today should top out around 97 degrees. Saturday, temperatures will be even hotter. It looks like saturday will be the hottest day. L. A. , 97 degrees. Thats 17 degrees above average. And then on sunday, we will start to see some improvements, especially right along the immediate coastline, San Francisco will be a little cooler. L. A. Will drop to 92 degrees. Still extremely hot. San francisco, we look to top downtown San Francisco, highs well into the low to mid 90s around san jose, upper 90s south of downtown. Pacifica, all the way down to santa cruz and San Francisco. Now as the sea breeze does pick up on sunday, well see some heat relief around the coast and bay but likely taking at least one more day before that cooling reaches some of our inland valleys to wrap up the weekend. Just a couple of nights away. Sunday night is football night in america. The bengals are taking on the patriots. Can the patriots redeem themselves or will the bengals defense be too much . It will be a perfect night for football. 51 degrees, mostly clear and cool. A lot of people, especially in the eastern half of the country, will feel like the temperatures will finally be spot on for football. All right. Sounds good, as a patriots fan, i know, you said that very well. Im hoping theyll redeem themselves. Fingers crossed. Dare devil nik wallenda has braved the grand canyon.

I had a predecessor on this show who had a very simple question, bryant gumbel. Why . Why are you doing this . Its my passion. Chicago, the windy city, very alluring to me. A lot of people would think the wire walker doesnt want to go to the windy city. I enjoy the challenges. I enjoy challenging myself. Ive done it since 2 years old. Ive done it since before i was born i mean, before my mom was born. The part of the stunt that willie and i are like, really . Youre going to do this . Two things im adding to up the stakes, walking from one building over 500 foot high across the river to a building thats 650 foot high. So youre going up hill . A 15degree incline. Challenges of weather. Cold quite possibly. My feet slipping. Were working on a special coating on the cable. And then get to the punch line. Then im going to cross over marina city towers and im going to do it blindfolded. Why . You know, again, its about challenging myself. And, hopefully, through challenging myself, inspiring other people to challenge themselves. Not like that. Have you tried this before . Have you walked blindfolded . Ive trained a lot, intensively, actually, but never performed blindfolded. If something goes wrong, do you have to rip that off quickly . I want to make sure that people realize its real. I dont want the magic feel to it, which is my concern on doing this, to be honest, from the beginning. I thought about doing duct tape over my eyes first, theres no way to see.

An american freelance cameraman working with nbc news in liberia has been diagnosed with ebola. Ashoka mukpo began working with dr. Nancy snyderman on tuesday hen area team covering the ebola outbreak. He will be airlifted to the u. S. For treatment. We spoke by phone with dr. Nancy earlier this morning. We shared a work space, vehicles, equipment. But everyone here is hyper alert. We have not been in close proximity. No one shakes hands. Theres no hugging. So i do believe that our team, while we are being hyper vigilant, we are at very, very, very low risk. And dr. Nancy and her team will be selfquarantined once they return to the u. S. For 21 days out of an abundance of caution. In the United States, the first person diagnosed with ebola in this country remains in serious condition. The hospital treating Thomas Eric Duncan now says he was first sent home with just antibiotics last week because his symptoms could have been caused by a number of things besides ebola and he did not reveal he had been working with an ebola patient in liberia. This morning, matt asked the head of the centers for Disease Control if those who had contact with duncan should be publicly identified. Will you release the names of the people who have been identified by those contact tracers . Absolutely not. We release information to protect the public. At times, we release patient names or other things if we have to tell people they may have been in contact. But none of these contacts are sick. None of them are a risk to anyone else. Meantime, family members and others who had close contact with duncan are quarantined in their apartments. Its being called one of the largest corporate Cyber Attacks ever discovered at a financial institution.

Jm Jpmorgan Chase says only Contact Information was compromised and theres no evidence that customers account numbers, passwords or Social Security numbers were stolen.

That is 13 degrees below average. Even up into virginia. 51 degrees. New york starts off the day at 49 on sunday. Today, looking for scattered showers and storms. Nothing severe. They could be very strong storms, especially down through the southeast, stretching all the way north, up into the great lakes. That will spread east as we go into tomorrow. Its that cold front that will start to cool down our temperatures. Thats a look at the weather still seeing some Cool Temperatures for now, at least in the north bay. 54 degrees. That will not be the case heading into the afternoon. Heat advisory for the bay area. Hottest temperatures from noon to about 7 00. Mostly 90s, even around the coast in San Francisco today. Look at these temperatures. Upper 80s to low 90s in San Francisco. Low to mid 90s in downtown san jose.

An attorney who has acted on behalf of jennifer lawrence, kate upton and Kirsten Dunst has taken a major stance. He is threatening google with a 100 million lawsuit. He says google didnt act fast enough to pull the pictures from its websites. Google is responding saying it quickly removed tens of thousands of pictures and closed hundreds of accounts. The company adding this note. The internet is used for many good things. Stealing peoples private photos is not one of them. This is going to get a lot of attention, you Start Talking about 100 million. It might prompt people to take action and prompt celebrities to think twice. In uk theres a law that people who dont want pictures on the internet the right to have them pulled. The fact of the matter is this is stealing, plain and simple. Its an invasion of privacy. Its absolutely outrageous. So, is subway, the sandwich chain, sending women the wrong message about their bodies . Check out their new halloween commercial and then you decide.

Up next, joan lunden and the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin. Were back in 30 seconds. 8 16. Were 8 16. Were wrapping up our pink power series. Weve been very happy to have joan lunden serve as our special correspondent this week. Shes been very candid about her ongoing battle against Breast Cancer. She joins us again on this friday morning. This time with a little twist to answer your questions. Carson is in the orange room with radiologist, dr. Sue an drasman to help us back. Welcome, joan. Thank you. Good to be here. Weve got a lot of questions. Weve been inundated with people sending in questions. A lot of people ask the same question. Elizabeth from facebook asks, you mentioned that you had a normal mammogram and the problem developed in an ultrasound. Why did you have the ultrasound . Should i ask my doctor to do this as a followup . This is the resounding question. I had the new 3d mammogram, which theyre great if you have whats called fatty tissue in your breast. But if you have dense fibrous tissue, then you need to probably seek out an ultrasound. We have a radiologist with us this morning. Hes in the orange room. Or she, sorry. I was talking to her about this. I asked about it so much. She said if its more than 50 dense, you really need that ultrasound. Because they cant read she gave me a great analogy, she said in a snowstorm you cant see the snowball. If the snowball is a tumor and in the midst of the dense tissue, its literally impossible to see in a mammogram. Thats the analogy. Do you have a followup . Mammography is the most widely used screening tool for early detection. But it doesnt do the whole job. Mammography is wonderful in fatty breasts but falls short in dense breasts, as you have experienced. Women with dense breasts, need to be their own advocates. They need to ask for a breast ultrasound. Most radiologists will bring that up. But if they dont, patients need to say, are my breasts dense . If thats the case, ultrasound should be our next modality that is used. Carson, youre getting other questions. Let me jump right in. This is from our chicago affiliate. Do you have any advice for women recently, they get the diagno s diagnosis. How do you get them from the initial shock and fear to ready to fight . Well, Breast Cancer is a team approach. Theres a radiologist that often makes the diagnosis initially and then a breast surgeon gets involved and in some cases a medical oncologist and a radiation oncologist. But the most important thing is that patients need to be their own advocates and do research. Breast cancers are all very different. Breast cancers are not created equal. One persons treatment may be very different from another persons treatment. Be your own advocate. Thats really what makes this such a challenging journey for women. Because youre almost like shot at meteoric speed from the radiologist to a Breast Cancer doctor. If you have triple negative like me where there are no markers, you have to do chemotherapy. Then youre sent to the oncologist. Im telling you, you can go to three different doctors, you can get three different opinions and then youre left to make to be your own patient advocate. But youre making these decisions and you feel like im not the medical professional. By the way, its a diagnosis not only for the patient but for a family. An entire family. I know youve had a lot of support. We have a question to read to you. Kimberly says im nine years old and my older sister got her ears pierced. Dont you think its fair that i get it done too. Do you know who kimberly is . Yes. Thats my daughter kimberly and her older sister kate got her earsed pierced. I mentioned families going through this. Look at this over here . Oh, my gosh. We have your kids. Hi guys. This is kate and max are here as well. Lets put the twins together. Look who else is here. Your son evan and new granddaughter. This is team hundrlunden in ways. And sara who works with me and lindsey who works with me. Shes on maternity leave. They just had little parker who is onemonthold. Front and center. Jamie, lindsey and sara, they grew up with me in the land of television. Now were all this is the joy. You got to you have to live in the moment and you cant be afraid of what youre going through. You cant forget to enjoy the joy thats happening in your life. Sara, mom is going through this not only as a personal diagnosis, but in a public way. Shes a public figure. Has that changed the way you as a family have dealt with this . Yeah. Weve all grown up with our mom in the public eye. And to see her go through this with such strength and bravery, i think that we can all learn something from that and take a page from her book as we fight our own battles in life. Were so thrilled to have all of you here. Youre waiting a few years for your pierced ears, sweetheart. Thats the bad news. Even though hers are very pretty. Thanks for your grace, joan and your candor this whole week. Jeff thank you very much. Good to see you guys. Team lunden, we appreciate it. Lets go to tamron. This time with a cover of adelles rolling in the deep. The song is on a new album. Aretha franklin singes the great diva classics. With us the queen of soul. Good morning to you. Let me read a few things that people have said. Mtv says the rolling in the deep cover demands your respeesp t respect. She says her cover is the rare remake giving the original a run for its money. Even the most protective adele fans wont mind once they hear it. Wow. Listen, you are the queen. We call you that for a reason. Did you ever expect the reaction to that cover that you received . I really did not. The reaction has been phenomenal. I must tell you. I love the original. I actually enjoyed adele and i was watching one of her promos, the kids on the school bus were having a wild time with, we could have had it all going wild. I could have fun and have a good time with that tune. I love the song. Shes a terrific artist. A wonderful writer. Very, very heavy writer. Im sure shes flattered and blown away by what youve done with the song. Youre teaming up with alicia keys as well. Covering classics from keys, etta james, barbra streisand. We see people try to sing an Aretha Franklin song, even the president do his respeespe. When Aretha Franklin covers your song, what do you think goes through the mind of the best artist . Wow. Aretha is going to own my song . Hmm. Just do a good job. Just do a good job. Its amazing. Songs are made to be enjoyed and more than one person can sing them. Do you feel that way when people cover your songs . Yeah, sure. Especially if i wrote it and i published it. Yeah. I love it. You said in an interview that this album, i think that you have not felt this good about an album since 1980s. What was missing in between . I havent been as excited about a cd since jump to it. The first time i heard my music on the radio, i felt the same kind of excitement. Really . Here you are in your chanel shoes, your handbag over there. Its adorable. Thank you. Whats keeping you so young . I know you had health delays with this album. Whats keeping you so young and fresh . I think the love of the business. The industry. And getting my rest.

Highs mid 90s, upper 90s around saratoga. Pacifica, mid 90s in the inland valley, a trend continuing into tomorrow. Notice sunday, San Francisco some cooling and the sea breeze comes back and we cool off early next week. And thats your latest forecast. Tamron . Now to our special series, our long series were doing the entire nfl season called together we make football. Nbcs josh elliott is traveling the country to see how football has changed the lives of so many people. Good to see you, buddy. Good to see you, tamron. This is a remarkable story, truly remark yab. Its about a young mother named beth steele who, last year at a new England Patriots game in cincinnati had something happen that would change the course of her life. Patriots bengals in town october 6th. Tj invited his best friend to come out. And bought a ticket for him. Due to commitments on his end, getting engaged, change of plans on his side. I was able to step in. So the ticket didnt go to waste. Going to that game ended up being what saved my life. Last october, beth steele was settling in for a day of football with her husband when a certain color caught her eye. We went into the game. Noticed the pink sneakers, noticed the pink quarterback towel. I thought of that as a marketing scheme, but something about all the pink, it did make me go home that night and do a self breast exam. Found a lump. So at the ripe old age of 36 i went in for my first mammogram. The radiologist said, you have massive and aggressive Breast Cancer. You need to be seen immediately. I didnt even check out with the nursing staff. I just walked out, down three flights of stairs where tj was sitting in the minivan, walked around the car so the kids couldnt see me and literally laid on the ground and started sobbing. The surgeon found three tumors and two different types of Breast Cancer. While her life changed in an instant, beth resolved to keep her childrens routines the same. We decided that cancer was not the kids fault. They would not be negatively affect bid this as much as possible. Tumbling has been an important. Make moms do the makeup. It was a way for me to disguise i was not feeling well, showing up at the competition. They would always come up with silly questions about hair loss, how did they glue your boob back on . Appropriate things that were going on in our lives. Beths prognosis is now excellent. And she and her husband returned to boston for the wedding of someone very important to their story. Tjs best friend is getting married. He is the guy who blew us off and let us go to the bengals game. Your story is so inspirational to us, youre going to be the team captain. I never saw myself as a Breast Cancer advocate. Thank you, sir. After what youve already been through, nothing i have also been given an opportunity to educate women of any age that they have a risk. Had the patriots been in town any other month that year i wouldnt have found my Breast Cancer. I wouldnt have survived. Beth is here with tj and her two children. Adelaide and liam. You look like you had a blast at the game. How are you doing now . You look great. Feeling great. Powering through. Almost the end of this battle. Its just wonderful to have you here, to be able to hear this story. You know, i know nfl teams like to give game balls for the big stars of the game. I think its fair to say, youre as big a star as weve got. Tj, i want to let you then do the honors here. Something very special. Yes. Youre mvp. Thank you for making it through this with us. We love you. Thank you. Please thank your friend for bailing on you again. Wonderful thing. Something very special. The little one we saw tumbling through the piece has a Little Something for her mother as well. So, this is a very special surprise that shes going to read. Dear mommy, for the past year, youve carried us, our whole life, family. So the pate res want you to come to the game sunday night and lead the way in front of more than 150 women who survived Breast Cancer. They are going to form a pink ribbon and you will carry their banner, just like you carried us. Thank you for being strong for us. I love you. Very good. Thank you. Mommy loves you.

First this is today on nbc. We want to cut your cooking time in half, pay attention. New york times columnist mark bittman is out with a new cookbook how to cook everything fast. He is here to share his speedy recipes. This is a serious book, by the way. This is real good. Were going to get at it. If youre coming into the kitchen, set yourself up for speed. The book is set up that way. This is recipes the way they were meant to be written. And they are written so that even people who dont know how to cook can get into the kitchen and start cooking. And some very basic stuff. You have your work surface clean, except for the stuff you are usually going to use, oil, salt and peppers. Spoons, knives. Those are things you should always stock up on . A kitchen that has a good pantry, the kind of things you need, stock and grains and so on. But this is really a revolutionary way to cook. Were going to look at this here. Were going to do chicken parm, one of my favorites, eggplant parm, in about half the time it would take normally. Where do we get started . If you would slice some of that egg plant. What were doing here actually, im sorry. Were going to this is one of the basic rules which, of course, ive forgotten. Were going to put some oil in our pans and heat them while we get the food ready. So these go in the oven now . Yep. By the time were ready, were ready to cook because the pans will be hot. We cut eggplant and chicken . Im going to cut this chicken in half because, of course, smaller pieces of things cook more quickly. Thats a principle of fast cooking. Ive sliced some eggplant. Ive sliced some chicken. Weve got sliced tomato. Parmesan, bread crumbs. You can mix those together. Ill get our now hot pans out of the oven. Fine. How are we doing . Doing okay. So weve got our mixture. Put that one here. Do we do layers . We stack the chicken and tomato. You do not put the tomato on the eggplant yet. It takes tlorng cook. Something like this. And then back in the oven. Salt and pepper naturally. We can skip that. Right. Back in the oven. And then five minutes later, lets say, it looks Something Like this. Ill grab yours. Got that . Yes. There you go. And now this is pretty much cooked and we put on our mixture of bread crumbs and cheese. Right on top . Right on top. And some fresh basil. Okay. And then we pop that back in the oven . Just until that browns. And this is what it looks like when its done. How long, start to finish . 20, 25 minutes. And im not kidding excuse me. And its fresh. The bread crumbs are crisp. The tomatoes are not saucy. Theyre beautiful, fresh tomatoes. You can do a cubano type sandwich with this. And the book is filled with all these fast recipes that are delicious. Mark bittman, as always, youve done it. Thank you very much. Thanks, matt. We appreciate it. Aretha franklin performing an incredible cover of rolling in the deep. First this is today on nbc.

Good morning to you. 8 56 on your friday. Im sam brock. Happening today, state Health Leaders will be meeting to discuss the current status of the event row virus in california.

Traffic from the ramps will no longer cross and loop on the street, instead, making a lefthand turn through the intersection. See you in 25 minutes with more news, weather, and traffic. Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, Natalie Morales, willie geist and tamron hall live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a friday morning, october 3rd, 2014. Im willie geist, along with Natalie Morales and tamron hall. Our buddy, al, will be back from the big uso trip on monday. We cant wait to get him back. To see his routine and the big show. Were going to see that on tuesday. Yes. Good stuff. This is a huge morning here. Yes. The queen of soul. Amazing. Can you feel shes sticking around. Shes going to hang with us. I know. Were not worthy. We really arent. Were not. Its incredible. She is going to talk to us, sing another song for us. I love the concept on this album, by the way. Songs you already love with her voice put to them. Mixing them with some of her favorite songs. And her aretha flavor. We do have to im going to tell the story. She wont get mad at me. She hates it cold. Aretha franklin hates the cold. Not her thing. You cannot have cold air, nothing. Got to keep the voice thats why her voice is so beautiful after all these years. Finally, natalie and i are happy. Its tropical. Weve been begging for the ac to be turned off. Aretha franklin comes in, says turn off the air. She does a snap. Done. Its done. Feels like were in jamaica. Take your sleeves off, natalie. Were on vacation. Thank you, miss franklin. Well talk to aretha in a few minutes. We absolutely cannot wait for that. We start this morning with ebola. A freelance cameraman working for us at nbc news in liberia has become the latest american to become affected with ebola. Ashoka mukpo started with symptoms a day after he was hired. Dr. Nancy snyderman talks about how close she was working with the cameraman. Once he became symptomatic, we only spent two hours ago. We were working in a work space when he told me he wasnt feeling well. He joined us 72 hours earlier as an independent journalist and had been in the hospital had been in the country two weeks prior to that. So my suspicion is that he was infected before we met him. And then he became symptomatic once we met him. We shared a work space. We shared vehicles. We shared equipment. But everyone here is hyper alert. We have not been in close proximity. No one shakes hands. Theres no hugging. So, i do believe that our team, while we are being hyper vigilant, we are at very, very, very low risk. You know, nancy was on the phone there for that interview because their camera equipment is actually being completely disinfected. So they have no use of that equipment. Dr. Nancy and her team having their temperatures monitored. Theyll travel back to the u. S. Privately, not on a commercial plane. Theyll keep themselves together on a private plane and be under quarantine for 21 days. Out of abundance of caution. Although nancy pointing out theyve not had any symptoms of ebola virus. Thats right. Authorities plan to prosecute Thomas Eric Duncan, the liberia man diagnosed with ebola on dallas. He lied on a questionnaire he filled out before boarding a plane on his journey to texas. It asked if he had cared for any ebola patients or touched anyone who then died. He answered that question, no. When, in fact, he aided a pregnant woman and her family. Yes. She died. Her brother died. And he assisted them at some point in time. Yeah. We now know that. Thats right. So duncan, by the way, remains in serious condition this morning at the hospital in dallas. I was surprised to learn, though, apparently there is no law here in the u. S. Requiring people to report if they have had obviously, most people do it. Its sort of code of moral conduct. You expect if somebody asks you have you been sick, have you traveled to these countries with the whole foot and mouth disease in customs, they ask you. Youre hoping its the honor code that people are checking off that they legitimately are not come in contact with the virus or disease. I was thinking, though, yes, its an honor code. But if you believe youre dying, as was this case im not saying he did the right thing by no stretch of the imagination. You ask yourself here he has been exposed, trying to save someone elses life and is asked at that moment to tell the truth. In the back of his mind perhaps, we dont know, thinking the people that have been treated in the United States have lived. 3,000 people have died in west africa. I mean, is it even an honor code or are you trying to survive . And if youre a parent with children, youre going to want to get out of there as quickly as you can and get them to the right treatment. Its hard to know what you would do in that situation. You know, your heart goes out to his family, who, as well, have been suffering with this, knowing his condition is serious still. At least he has been upgraded somewhat. Theyre doing the best they can at those airports. Its pretty rudimentary to check the fever, ask somebody to check a box and you go on your way. Were going to switch gears. Little bit. Take quite a turn here. Have you had the rite of passage that every parent has experienced at some point in their lives yet, willie . You know what im talking about, right . Lice. Have they visited you . Its going to happen this year. I see it happening this year. It happened to us this last spring. Did you get it . My kids had it pretty bad and every day i came in like i never told our hair people. Im like, my kids have i never told laura. Critters all over your head. I think because when you have product in your hair sometimes they say it sort of protects you from it. Is that right . Anyway the reason we bring this up, Jennifer Garner was on jimmy fallon, guest on the tonight show. She told the cutest story and how ben begged her to go to a party after she put on that smelly, disgusting lice treatment. Take a listen. Your kids had lice . Yes, they did. And it spreads all over the place. Stars are just like us. Did you get lice . We all got lice. No its make meeg itchy just to talk about it. It was years ago. Im totally fine right now. They comb this oil it looks like you put crisco in your hair but you smell like sulphur and rosemary. The first person i see is George Clooney. Of all people. I never met George Clooney and i was kind of like, hes so handsome. Oh, my god so i see him and i walk up to him, chatting with him, trying to act like its cool. Eye chose, you know, whatever to grease my hair. I can see that he smells me, you know. No, this is awful but hes trying to be polite. So, anyway, people keep asking why we werent at georges wedding and we were both working, but i think he didnt want licey there. Shes great. I have to say, the whole interview was really funny. At one point she impersonates her own husband when he says lets go to this party and she does it in her really cute way as every woman likes to impersonate their husband. She said i do it with love. I do it with love. Worth watching if you havent seen it. Speaking of love, whoo, disney has a new wedding cake out. Okay. So, theyre taking wedding cakes to another level. Trust me on this one. The cake that disney has, by the way, theyre using projection mapping, lighting images are projected on to a White Wedding cake. Anything can be projected on to the cake, your face. You could do a love story, a poem, anything you want. And you say, really, anything . Wait until we tell you the price tag. Because you should be able to get anything you want for this. The technology for the cake does exist outside of disney. As we understand it, it starts at guess. Well, we know. I know. You know . 12,000. Its not just for the cake. Its the full disney wedding package. We dont know what that includes. Im sure its the whole experience. Spoon and ice cream. When you start bringing in projectors. Thats a big cake, though. Cakes are expensive, wedding cakes, especially. And thats like ten tiers. The package goes to the cake. They are so expensive. Didnt that mean like you ran out of time to decorate the cake . Its just a white cake at the end of the day. Its a projector. You could put a projector and put up tinkerbell. Magical. Its a long way to go. If you like it, good for you. How about this . Oh, gosh. October is Breast Cancer month. Yes. In honor of that, were launching a charity effort called pink or swim. This is good. Through next friday, october 10th, well have a dunk tank filled with pink water, teamed up with the av on foundation of women. Which of the four of us todays take anchors you want to see dunked. We get water balloons for whatever reason. Raise 10,000 by next friday, a week to do this, the anchor with the most votes gets dunked on Live National television. All the money will go to the avon foundation. Hands up, who here wants to get dunked . Really wants to . Are there people who want to get dunked . I dont mind. I thought you were dunking us already.

Natalie has petitioned no, no, no. Im not petitioning. You just said i would love to do it. I was just saying im not going to say no. Youre up for it. Yeah. Its a great cause. We support the cause. She wants it. Thats not the point. Because tamron doesnt want to. Im using reverse psychology. The princess bride. I have a video for you to see. Everyone knows how long it takes me to get my hair straight. Dont do that to me. We know how cute it looks when its curly. Natalie, youre not helping. This is going to be a fun week.

You would create the biggest splash. Thats an insult. Thats a compliment. We have Something Else we want to tell you about. Its called facebook friday. Take a look at this.

Traffic from the ramps will no longer cross and move on to the street. Instead, theyll make a lefthand turn through a new intersection that has traffic lights. Were back in two minutes with a look at weather and traffic after this. Well, we are tracking a heat advisory for the bay area and you can clearly see why on the temperatures over my shoulder, from san jose in the low 90s, upper 80s and low 0s even out to the coast. San francisco seeing those highs also climbing into the near low 90s for highs. Mid 90s in the valleys of the north bay and east bay, a hot start to the weekend and then some cooling arriving as the sea breeze picks up sunday, heading into monday.

Im mindful of that. That Time Magazine at the end of the century had her with the beatles and sinatra among the 100 most important person tins century of the 20th century.

Trivalley, a hot start to the weekend, and then some cooling arriving as the sea breeze picks up sunday, heading into monday. Now for another check of your morning commute, heres mike. You know its friday, we still have backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. A look at the shot and lanes coming off the curb, those are jammed up, but fast track also still slow. We have a good amount of traffic heading into the north bay. In towards the city, well see that build over the next hour and a half and coming towards us, the westbound commute done for the morning getting out of town, scott. All right, mike. More local news coming up in the big show at 11 00. Kwooel see you then. Were back on friday with more of today. And we have our popcorn, you know what that means. Our real moms are back. Dara mcnamara is a mother of three, and and fan dango. Suzanne rusk, mother of two and lifestyle editor of Family Circle magazine. And liz stern has three little ones and is ceo of diva moms. Com. Lets get started. The box trolls open now what do we think . Well start with dara. I think it is a great daddy and me movie, has a lot of fatherhood topics in it. It is about this 11yearold raised by underground creatures. It is something that is really appealing to little kids. Like my 4yearold couldnt wait to see it. It is not it is too dark. You like it . For 4yearolds it is probably a little dark. It is darker, but my kids loved it. I think you can take an 8yearold, 7yearold. 7yearold and 10yearold, i recommend it. It is scary but the animation is superb. Lets talk about the Reese Witherspoon movie called the good lie. Thats getting a lot of great buzz. A great movie for adults. It is about four lost boys of sudan who relocate to the United States just before 9 11 and they see the employment counselor who tries to get them a job. It is a story we should all know, really uplifting. Based in truth . It is based on the events of the lost boys of sudan, but what is interesting about it for me is that even though it is a story we want kids to know, i have reservations about kids seeing it. There is the horrors of war but there is smoking of pot and adult stuff in it. It is what happened in that country. I think an older kid you share that with and expose them to what is going on. What other children had to go through. Having said that, i dont think it is for small kids. Getting great i took my 10yearold and it was a really great experience for the two of us to see this movie together, we talked a little bit before what we were going to see, what was going to happen, prewarn him, but at the end of the movie, so beautiful, it is about a family story, how family supports one another through everything, thick and thin. Educational. Really educational. At the end, my son had tears. We both had tears in our eyes. He said, mommy, it is such a good movie, thank you for taking me. It is important. I dont think a lot of movies have that message. Lets talk about the last one. Huge book. Yes. Alexander the terrible horrible no good day. It looks like it is a cute film. But it is a hilarious film. They made this not just about alexanders bad day, but the whole familys bad day. It was so relatable. My daughter and i laughed so hard. Everyone can go see this. I was with it is a great family film. Whole family will enjoy it. Not just kids have bad days. We all have bad days. I recommend it for everybody. Before we go no sex, no violence, totally clean. My life. Before we go, real quick, tell me if you were taking home this weekend, on demand, what movie would you watch . Chef. I go back to the oldie but goody, i like some like it hot and my kids love it. We cant get enough of frozen in my house. Frozen. From gone girl, actress carrie coon is here.

Did you know you were funny growing up . Yeah. A little bit like an amusement, not always a good thing. Like in school and stuff . Yeah. All the time. I would get report cards that would say, ana and her friend amy are like laurel and hardy. So i ended up after saturday night live i did quite a few broadway musicals, wicked. You know the soundtrack from wicked, thats one of the most demanding physically roles in the the gravity song. I think it sounds a lot like that, actually. It is incredibly demanding. It was very difficult. But it was fun, fun, fun. And such a great way to make up for lost time vocally and train. I had this jazz act, to wrap that up, like for a while now, for ten years. This has been kind of a dream. Were these songs played in your house when you were younger . A lot of them. This is real entertainment era, late 1950s, early 60s a lot of songs about a girl in front of a big band. As youre listening to the cd, i hope you all do, you can see how it would be in performance.
