If that dress looks familiar, it is. Why kate proved once more you can wear it again. Time for taylor . What about putin or protesters. Weve shown you the short list and were about to reveal time magazines pick for person of the year exclusively. Today, wednesday, december 10th, 201 2014. From nbc news, this is today. With matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Today is a wednesday morning. Have you cast your vote for person of the year . Or persons. Thats right. Never know. We will find out exclusively who that will be a little later in the show. Then we will unleash the debate to talk about who wasnt chosen. Well get to that in a little while. To the top story, that damning Senate Report in the wake of 9 11. The program went much farther than any knew. That report laying it out in explicit detail. This morning, a lot of people are appalled. Nbcs chief Foreign Affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell has the latest on this. Good morning to you. Good morning to you. The debate continues to rage on that the cia tortured detainees for years at secret prisons around the world. The cia is fighting back arguing the twin towers were still smoldering when the agency was ordered to take on al qaeda, an agency told to do whatever it takes. People at the cia who worked with this program know it worked. How do you think we captured all these terrorists . But the report written by Senate Democrats says it overstated its successes and reduced its horrors. Krarcontractors paid 80 mil at interrogation and techniques were brutal. In afghanistan a veritable dungeon called the salt pits, one sfrtripped naked. Died of hypothermia. And Khalid Shaikh mohammed nearly drowned three times and started making up stories. A fake Nuclear Suitcase bomb and that they were recruit iing africanamerican muslims in montana. And this man blindfolded threatened with a gun and cordless power drill. The court found the harsh practices not limited to waterboarding went far beyond what president bush acknowledged to matt in 2010. We used this technique on three people. Captured a lot of people and used it on three. We gained valuable information to protect a country. It was the right thing to do as far as im concerned. With the report sparking headlines around the world today, president obama supported its release, telling telemun telemundo one thing that sets us apart from other countries, when we make mistakes we admit them. For all of the outrage over the reports revelations the Justice Department has stoppfiv years ago decided not to prosecute any of those involved. And the cia director from the Bush Administration from 2006 on, i should say most of the conduct that we heard about took place before you were cia director. We heard about waterboarding and near drowning and one near naked nearly died and not pleasant to talk about. Rectal rehydration medically unnecessary. I know you dont believe this meets the Legal Definition of torture. Does it sit right with you. Do americans have the right to be appalled . I dont know if they have the right to be appalled. Its probably a good thing americans get to know with some accuracy about what the Central Intelligence agency did on their behalf. I dont know that the report that was released yesterday is that historically accurate report. It reads like a prosecutorial screen rather than historical document. Do you disagree with anything just recited by Andrea Mitchell or anything talked about here . I disagree with the facts youre claiming it to be news. These topics are all out there. The rockman death was widely known, death of another detainee just given to us in iraq from special force. Also known. By the way, savannah, neither of those deaths were in this program, the program were talking about of high value detainees president bush was talking about in that film clip you just saw. Youre saying its not news. In essence, it says that it was acknowledged about waterboarding went much farther for example we knew there had been waterboarding we didnt know it was described by cia officers who saw it as escalating into a series of Near Drownings that sleep deprivation went on up to seven days. It is more layered in thedy tail, isnt it . It may be more slightly layered in the details. Everyone knows what waterboarding does. It prompts the antidrowning reflex in an individual. Im sure its horrible but it was also horrible for tens of thousands of american airmen whom we used it against for their training. The report singles you out in particular a 38 page appendix where it lays out testimony you gave to congress and where the report alleges there were inconsistenci inconsistencies. Right. Do you feel youve been accused here of lying and Misleading Congress and whats your response to it . My response is i didnt lie and i didnt mislead congress. Savannah, give me a minute here. I know you have a lot of questions. Lets describe this spring of 2007 conversation i had with both chambers, with both the house and the senate. I was the first director of cia to go down and actually convince the white house that we needed to expand knowledge of this Program Beyond the narrow gang of four or gang of eight. I actually argued within the administration that we needed to tell all of the members of the committee. That Going Forward, we needed to device devise a plan that wasnt based on strictly raw president ial authority but hat Political Support from the other Political Branch so Going Forward this would no longer be identified as george bushs program but americas program. My plan was to put my arms around the other Political Branch and find a way straightforward. I was straightforward and gave information as i knew it to be and the agency knew it to be. Savannah, the agencys rebuttal to this report broadly supports the outlines and testimony i gave in 2007. Look, my objective here was to get these people to be part of the game. They spent most of the time yelling at me, so it was a real opportunity lost. And very quickly, i heard you say in the interview a few minutes ago, when cia officers were conducting these techniques listed in the report they felt they were doing the nations will . Absolutely. Look, the way the nation speaks to us is the president authorizes something, we inform the congress, the attorney general says its legal and the director of cia says, i think this is going to be effective, its worth the gamble. At that point, you think you have a social contract with the American People, not with a particular administration. So whats happening now, these folks having the rug pulled out from under them, people who thought they were doing what we wanted them to do, thats unprecedented. Former cia director general michael hayden, thank you for your time this morning. Appreciate it. Lets move on to a different story, potent problems on both coasts, snow leading to flooding in the northeast. Out in california, theyre beginning to feel the effects of a powerful system there this morning. Al, good morning to you. Thanks so much. We are watching two storms, two coasts. We have low pressure developing. Theres a lot of warm moist air coming out. Big slug of moisture coming here and along the backside of that low we have colder air and thats where were seeing the snow. This is going to be another 24 hours where we will be dealing with snow in upstate new york, parts of pennsylvania, the rain starts to die down. Look how the snow spins around and comes around that low pressure system. We are talking generally 69 inches of snow, some areas up to a foot and a half to 2 feet of snow. And we find dylan dreyer where its coming down pretty good right now in new york. Reporter it certainly is. We drove through nothing but rain until we started climbing the mountain. Today, we are cold enough for snow all throughout new york state after an independent elevation snowstorm. It was the wind and ice that created problems creating spinouts and even a deadly accident in sullivan, new york, early tuesday morning. It was heavy rain that created problems and delays on the roads and airport. Along the coast, beaches were battered in new jersey by huge ocean waves and rough surf and wind gusts up to 60 miles an hour brought flooding on the coast of massachusetts. Now, as this snowstorm starts to slowly pull away, we will see the snow linger across parts of new york all the way through thursday and maybe a foot of snow. We shift to the Pacific Northwest. Big storm system there and this will bring in not only a lot of rain but a lot of wind. We are talking windgusts along the oregon coast up to 100 miles an hour. That will cause big problems and this system pushes south. By friday morning we have rain down to Southern California where they need it. Generally speaking were talking anywhere from 5 to 10 inches of rain in Northern California and southern oregon. As we move to the south, were talking anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain in Southern California as well, again, they just got pounded last week with heavy rain and mudslides and probably seeing a repeat of that in the next 48 hours or so. Thank you so much. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Right now the dutch achess and duck of cambridge are back home. Right now, international correspondent, kate snow has the info. I have it for you. This is the moment youve been waiting for. The du duke and duchess all decked out. A glamorous end to a worldwind trip. The duke and duchess didnt disappoint. Walking up the steps past an honor guard of st. Andrews, a place they love. Kate wore a jenny pa krrckam dr she has worn before. Almost 20 of its students are american and the duke braising its alma mater and poking fun at its reputation. [ inaudible ] [ laughter ] reporter it was the final event of a trip that took william to the white house and brought the royal couple face to face with a kind of american royalty. There were flowers left on the 9 11 memorial leaving a handwritten note in sorrowful memory of 9 11 and the courage to rebuild signed simply. Kathryn and williams. Touring the museum, pausing to ask questions. Like any parents away from the kids, they talked about their 1yearold a lot. With digital innovation, Prince William said his son, george, has been plays ipad games and loves them. And a must see for any at the apple. The duke took time to look from the empire state building. It was this scene with city kids that the prince said he enjoyed the most. The duke of cam bridge saying he was nearly moved to tears by steven prescotts a monologue about turning his life around. He gave him his contact and says he wants to help the 22yearold bring the show to a bigger stage. A successful visit leaving people wanting more. You can see her hand right there on the royal baby bump in that picture. You can see it, right . You can see that. Shes due in april. How impressive is it that shes wearing that dress . Its a repeat. Shes worn it before but shes five months pregnant, you can barely even tell. Its not a maternity dress. I love she repeetats her dresses. Most human beings do. Shes brought. Give the girl a break. Not many things fit you at that point in time. Natalie is here and has a dramatic rescue at sea. Thats right. The reason you never give up. A happy sailor missing since thanksgiving. The coast guard had all but given up on the search until one more distress call nearly two weeks later brought them to his rescue. It was a miracle on the high seas. Anybody picking this up . The dress call the coast guard wasnt expecting to hear from 67yearold ron ingram 12 days after he went missing. Ingram and experienced fisherman was sailing from molokai, hawaii to the island of lanai, when his sailboat started taking on water. He sent out two mayday calls before losing all contact. The coast guard and navy conducted an extensive search before calling it off on december 1st. I say, i dont think you should call off the search because i dont think hes gone. Almost two weeks later the coast guard picked up the disdistress call 80 miles from his last location and nearly 80 miles from the nearest ship. Great job to hear it and recognize it. He was found within a half hour dehydrated and hungry but ininjured. They said, we found your dad. Hes alive and well on his boat. For him to be live is awesome. I cant believe it. A rule that prosecutors can appeal oscar pistoriuss murder charges. He was convicted in the lesser charge of homicide in the death of his girlfriend. Prosecutors argue the judge misinterpreted that he did not intentionally shoot steenkamp. It will now go before south africas court of appeal. Protests shift today to california where protesters want to shut down a Federal Building in response to Police Killing of black men. They took to berkeley, california for the fourth straight night. Hundreds marched through downtown streets, briefly blocking a state highway and delaying train service. Breathtaking video you have to see from slovakia, where two hikers discovered a frozen lake so Crystal Clear it appears they were walking on water. Isnt that amazing . You can see the rocks down below. Turns out snowy conditions fa s forced the hikers to abandon their plans in the mountains and instead went to the stunning lake below. That is a detour worth taking there. You have to have a lot of confidence in that ice to walk on that. Slowly. You can see everything. Theres my contact lens. Thanks. Mr. Roker. All right.

Alkaseltzer plus cold and cough fights your worst cold symptoms plus your runny nose. Oh, what a relief it is. Thats the way i look at life. Looking for something better. Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Very good wednesday morning to you. 7 26. Im laura garciacannon.

Dont miss our supersized holiday steals and deals especially if you know a kid who wants an American Girl doll for christmas. Hold me, matt. All right. We begin this half hour with nfl commissioner Roger Goodell speak out after our exclusive interview with ray and janay rice. Stephanie gosk is here with more. Roger goodell will announce the longawaited personal conduct policy. Getting exclusive insight on how he intends to reshape the leagues handling of Domestic Violence and the criticism that surrounded his decision making. I dont know what my legacy will be. Im not concerned about it. What im concerned about is doing the right things and continuing to make the nfl more popular. Reporter unprecedented access to the nfl commissioner, following the most trying ordeal in the leagues history. Ill let other people worry about legacies when im done. Reporter the wall street journals monica langley, following Roger Goodell for four weeks, as he works on reshaping how the league handles cases of Domestic Violence abuse. He knew very little about the issues. I have to say now hes about to put in place one of the toughest personal conduct policies for Domestic Violence in corporate america. Reporter from 2000 to 2013, there were 135 allegations of Domestic Violence against its players, toughest suspension amounting to one game. In some cases, no punishment at all. That changes today. Goodell is set to announce a sweeping new policy that includes putting accused players on immediate paid leave while the league conducts an independent investigation. Its an issue that made headlines after the february assault of janay rice by her husband, then ravens running back ray rice. She recently criticized goodell in an interview with matt. When the commissioner, Roger Goodell, says ray was ambiguous, and the nfl says it was a starkly different sequence of events, is the commissioner lying . I cant say hes telling the truth, you know. I know for a fact that he told that ray told the honest truth that he has been telling from february. Reporter the journal asked goodell for his reaction. I dont take those things personally and i wish janay well. We understand and we may have different views about what happened, but i certainly dont have any reaction to that. Goodell is presenting that new conduct policy in front of team owners today. The league has an uphill battle getting the players onboard. Nfl Players Association said the demands for the policy have been largely ignored in that goodell has less of a role in disciplining players. Lets get a check of the weather with mr. Roker. We have storms on both coasts. And in between, dallas and parts of central and northern texas, theyll have more fog again this morning. Probably decent airport delays, as they did yesterday as it burns off. Temperatures in the low 60s. Big ridge of high pressure. Lot of moisture. Thats whats been causing that fog.

So i finally made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. Humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults with moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis saw 75 skin clearance on humira. And the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Set a new goal today. Ask your dermatologist about humira. Because with humira clearer skin is possible. Has the power to captivate.

[ chuckles ] vote for this years holiday greeting at oceanspray. Com. Were back now at 7 40. Weve been preparing you all week long. This morning its time to reveal time magazines person of the year. Joining us monday with a short list of the magazine. Shes back now to announce the selection. Nancy, good to see you. Nice to be here. Since you announced the short list, have people been bending your ear all week long am. Everyone has a point of view, everyone has an argument to make. We took our short list to our viewers and theyve been voting. We saw their selection earlier. Well find out if theyre right in a second. Why dont we do it this way . Start now and you can counterus down from position five to position one. Well hold before we reveal the person youve chosen. But at number five . Jack ma, ceo and founder of ali babba. Number four . The president of iraqi kurdistan. Number three youre very good at this, by the way. Vladimir putin, russian president. A lot of people may have made the case for number one for mr. Putin. Number two . The Ferguson Protesters and all those who followed after ferguson. And that leaves us with number one. And we should have a drum roll. Who is time magazines person or persons of the year . The ebola fighters. Tell us why you made that choice. This was the worst outbreak in history. While officials were in denial and very slow to respond, these men and women did the hard and dangerous work of treating patients and protecting the rest of us. Its an exceptionally great amount of courage and kindness and bravery thats required for them to do what they did. Youve chosen five different covers. These are fighters who are operating in different parts of the world, most in west africa. I think the most recognizable figure for americans will be this gentleman right here, dr. Kent brantley. He was in liberia, treating ebola patients, Good Samaritan first, and then contracted ebola himself. Three of the five are survivors, two are doctors, one a nurse, one an ambulance driver, one a health care worker. They represent hundreds and hundreds of other whose also ran into the fire, as they say, and really did this to protect their communities and to protect everyone else from this spreading even further. With dr. Brantley, after he recovered from the virus, he donated his plasma to help other ebola paeshs get better. He found out about this news just a day or so ago. Im happy to say that dr. Kent brantley joins us on the phone now. Dr. Brantley, its a huge honor. Good morning. Good morning, matt. How do you feel about it . Matt, this is a huge honor. Its an incredible honor to be part of the group thats being recognized as time magazines person of the year. I think its fitting that most ebola fighters and those who paid the highest price for their service are, themselves, west african. Its an honor for me to be considered part of that group. While youre honored im sure theres mixed emotions in this, too, kent. You know, there are, because this is not simply an historic event that were looking back on, but its still happening right now. Ebola fighters are not just people who did something brave and courageous. They are still in the trenches, fighting that war, as we speak. And these fighters, ebola fighters operated under incredible odds. I think you told me when i first met you several months ago that when the outbreak came to your clinic, of the first 16 or 17 patients that you saw, all but one died. Resources were tight. How did you and the team, and how do others continue the fight under those circumstances . Its a very challenging situation, but there is no choice but to continue the fight. It is a battle for life and death. And you cant give up. And i know you also probably want to recognize the people at Emory University hospital in atlanta. Thats where you were brought, along with Nancy Writebol and others. Thats where you were treated. They share in this honor as well. Absolutely. The people at emery in nebraska, in dallas, in maryland. Theyre all part of this group. Well, dr. Kent brantley, congratulations. Its kind of an odd thing to say, congratulations. But it is a huge honor. Thank you for joining us on the phone this morning. Thank you, matt. And i think this is also an important selection, nancy, because this storys not over. Its not. And to the extent this was a test of our ability to fight a global pandemic, it didnt go well. And if we dont learn lessons from what these men and women can teach us, we will have missed a huge opportunity and at the cost of a great many lives. Nancy gibbs, thank you. Times person of the year actually, persons of the year, the ebola fighters. Thank you for sharing with our viewers. Thank you, matt. We appreciate it. The issue hits newsstands friday.

Really important. It lit a fire underneath me and pushed me to do better each week. And i feel like ive grown a lot. Im really excited. Until last night, team adam was intact. This is a lot about him as a coach. Whats his style been like for you . He is such an amazing coach. Honestly, he knows how to keep it light and keep it fun. Hes so talented. The number one thing with adam, its all about the music. Thats what i love most about him. Were going to bring our wild card winner out here in a minute but Craig William boyd as of right now, you represent team blake. Thats a lot of pressure there. How has blake been . He is what you see on camera is what you get behind the scenes. Thats what ive loved about him. Are you ready for this . We have never done this before. An eliminated artist on the show has the chance to come back and are you ready to meet your wildcard finalist . Absolutely. Will you reveal yourself . Damian. Team adam is intact. Wow. Congratulations, damian. My goodness. This is the first time we will ever have a final on the voice with one coachs entire team intact. What a roller coaster. About 12 hours ago, and we started last nights show and you were eliminated, and you sang and now you are back on. How do you feel . I feel incredible.

You are one of the more emotional performers, and i think america gets that from you. You could still win this thing . It means the world to me. This is one of the things that i said i wanted to make it to, the top four, in the very beginning and i am very excited. We have blake versus adam in a showdown. Its a little david and goliath, perhaps. You used to be on gwens team. Yeah, thats right. Its going to be an awesome show. Carson, you didnt even know, you seemed like, who the wildcard was going to be . I wanted it to be a surprise. The surprise is going to be for adam when he wakes up. Surprised and excited. Good luck to you, and as carson said, the live finale begins on monday here on nbc. Coming up, sir Paul Mccartney joins us to tell us about something new he is trying. vo nourished. Rescued.

And this time ben stiller has a counterpart, rebel wilsons. They let you travel . This is unusual. They let me travel. You know where . No. Home, here. Home, back here. Off to the toot, toot, fiveminute maximum. Thats not even a little bit true. Rebel welcome back. Its good to have you here. This is like a billiondollar Freight Train motoring down the track, and as the newbie was it hard to catch up with this . Yeah, its an amazing cast for night at the museum. I just felt, and of course, the late and great robin williams. Just to join that ensemble is so much fun. Its not like you have tackled high profile things in the past. What was different about this . It was so set budget, one set alone was 180,000, and i never have been on a set like that, and all the special effects, its really cool. They call it cgi. You have done it before where you are reacting to nothing . Not to this extent. A monkey that was in the scene, it was a tennis ball and a head. You have to be funny with a tennis ball . Yeah, trying to interact with it, you feel a little silly. In watching the clips, it seems like it was written with you in mind. I dont know whether you just do such a great job with the script, or it was all there on the page . I think sean levy who directed the whole trilogy, he has quite a few of teenage daughters who had seen me in Pitch Perfect, and bridesmaids, and they said they wanted me in the movie. I thanked them a lot. This is not a spoiler alert. I will not give anything away. Its set in a museum. What . I am going to get busted for that. It seems to me the way it ends that you possibly had been handed the torch for future night at the museum movies. Is that fair . Maybe they could have a fourth one. You have been signed up for a fourth one . If i see the money truck, maybe. I love being in there, where can you be funny and have so much action and great special effects. Always great to talk to an actress who is in it for the art and the money truck. Yes. You mentioned earlier in the interview, Pitch Perfect 2, the pitchers are back, as we like to say. That was a crazy amount of fun. Night at the museum, it was filmed in freezing temperatures, and then Pitch Perfect 2, it was in the middle of the summer, so went from two extremes back to back. Your director from bridesmaids, is setting out to do an allfemale remake of ghost busters. I already know the song. I am ready. Are you going to be a female ghost buster . I have had a meeting, but who knows. Who knows . They have to look at the script, when its finished. Did they back the money truck up . I would do that without the money truck, because, like, the giant marshmallow man, if thats going to be in i would do that for free. I probably should not say that live on tv. Rebel wilson, good to see you. Happy holidays, everybody. Up next, tricks of the trade. The secrets are actually shared later, but first this is today on nbc. As a toddler, i enjoy three activities. Breaking things. Spilling things. And just general destruction, in the abstract sense. So i, for one, am not a big fan of nest. You see, the dropcam is always watching. Even when my folks are in another room. I rue the day that this product was invented. But im not 100 sure what rue means. Nest dropcam. Welcome to a more thoughtful well, this holiday season, of course, is a magical time. And todays jenna wolf sat down with guys that make magic all year round. Its so easy to get swept up in the history with the empire state building, and as i recently found out, sometimes the citys treasures are not so obvious. I recently discovered a little known icon of new york, a social club of sorts for some of the masters of mystery. They let anybody in this place. I started a diet yesterday. Thank god, thats over with. You may not realize at first glance, but this group of old friends, they take a part in history that can only be described as magical. Welcome to magic table. A loosely organized gathering of fellow ma phaeupblgtions that break bread, and have a few laughs and trade tricks, and then share tricks of the trade. No judgment, but a lot of love. New york has long been a mecca for magic. Where mackage table has had one or another for several decades. The tradition goes back long before tv and film when Live Entertainment ruled supreme. In fact, houdini and his pal gathered in midtown too as they perfected their craft amid a secrecy. Its not the general public. Big names like David Copperfield have all come to the table over the years. Hi, guys. And for one afternoon thats all i got. Even i was allowed in. And the thumb is back. Its not so cool. Reporter some make a living performing magic, and others from ages 48 to 92 have spent a life in love with illusions. A lot of magicians, they will i believe in unlimited credit. Reporter why did you want to come . I was passional about magic as a child and i lost touch with it and now that i have a son of my own, i got him into it. Reporter what is considered a successful lunch . Roast beef. Somebody is working on something, you have to figure out how to make it better. You get feedback without people really saying anything sometimes, just from how they react or where they look. Some of these guys are legends and have been doing it forever. Reporter some say they are custodians of a dying art, but these entertainers know better. People are interested in miracles. You want to see good fortune. They will do that. Reporter you would think i would walk away from the lunch with a deeper appreciation of tricks but, nothing. You have to be a master of the craft. You have to be part of this group, and not necessarily the group, but the world of ma tkpwfrpblgt aoeufrpblgtc. They are going to find another place to meet, and they have been doing it for all these years. So thats a great idea. Yeah, exchange tricks. Thank you. Up next, sir Paul Mccartney. First this is today on nbc. We are back now at 8 52. Sir Paul Mccartney is one of the biggest rock stars of all time. Just wrapped up an 18month world tour. He is out this week with a new single and individuvideo. Its interesting. Called hope for the future. It gives us a look at sir paul like weve never seen him before, within the world of a video game. In the dark where nothing is ever seen finding undiscovered places no ones ever been were joined now by sir Paul Mccartney. I say good morning. Happy holidays. And ive known you for a while, sir paul. And i Never Associated you with video games. What got you into this project . Grandchildren has got me into this project. You figure they would look at you and say, wow, hes with it . Hes with the new generation . Absolutely, yeah. I got asked to do the game halo and i didnt know what halo was. I asked the kids and they said, wow, cool. Very interesting, fun to do. Its nice to do something refreshing and new. Is writing a song for video game different for, i dont know, writing a song for the beatles . Basically, its the same. But because its a video game, these things are blockbusters. Its like a big movie. So, its epic. So the nearest thing ive done to that was the sound track for the James Bond Film live and let die. I used that as kind of a guide. But basically when it comes down to it, its the same thing. Youve got to have an idea. It ought to be good and it ought to be memorable. And it ought to mean something. So, thats kind of the same as what i normally try to you dont seem like a guy who likes to sit still very much. You came off an 18monthlong tour, it was eight legs. What is touring like for you these days compared to earlier days when, as savannah mentioned, you were touring with the beatles or with wings . Its really great. Its funny. For me, it seems to improve. What i will do when im going on tour with a promoteer, ill say put one show on sale and see how it goes. Hopefully, youll bring me back and say sao pallo just sold out 45,000 seats in ten minutes. Ill say, okay, this feels good. When i go on stage, i know all those people really want to see me. So its a party. You know, we just have a lot of fun. Ive got a grad great band. We play a lot of songs they want to hear. We have a lot of fun. Speaking of that, i know you love those songs. But if you could, is there any song from your repertoire that if you never had to sing it again, that would be okay with you . You know, people think that and i kind of think that that ought to happen but it doesnt. You know, ive got songs that if people were going to guess, it might be, come on, youve sung let it be a million times, probably sung hey jude a million times. But, actually, every time i do them, the warmth of the audience is so great. And theyre all holding up they dont hold cigarette lighters up anymore. Its the youre watching today in the bay.

Kent brantley on the cover. They have multiple covers featuring different faces of the caregivers. So important because, obviously, the outbreak continues in west africa. 7,000 lives. Absolutely, 7,000 lives lost. An important reminder of its certainly well deserved. The efforts continue over there and they need to continue the ongoing fight. We did a survey on today. Com and asked our viewers who they think should win and overwhelmingly our viewers said the ebola fighters, their impact and even dr. Kent brantley was going further and donating plasma. Incredible effort by all of those. It impacts the world. Times editor earlier in the week said they choose this is something thats ongoing. a advance. Never, meaning the global community, weve never had an advancement like this as related to ebola. This is the worst outbreak of all times and theyve discovered Different Things aboutbsn the treatment which excludes, by the way, that serum we talked so much about. It was the fact that these caregivers in the United States were treated and survived and learned treatments whats great about this, i think, is usually the person of the year, theres some debate. People are arguing about i dont think anybody is really debating the appropriateness of that choice. Some people say it should be one person. In this case, i think this is the biggest Kent Brantley talked about how important it was to recognize all these different people. Im glad when its a positive person or persons rather than in the past you. G;apit was like, what . Did you guys just give up . Hey, lets do you. You. Did you find it flattering that you were the person of the year . I didnt really think that i was the person of the year. Rokerthon, you are the person of the year. No, no, no. This is an incredible story. It is about exactly that, never giving up. A man went missing since thanksgiving. He is a sailor. And he was finally found alive yesterday after 12 days at sea. His name is ron ingraham, 67 years old, experienced sailor. Aboard a i25foot sailing vesse traveling from molokai, hawaii, to lanai. Thats when his boat started to take on water. He did send out two mayday calls. Again, an experienced sailor. He then lost all contact. The coast guard and the navy called off the search december 1st. 12 days later they got this distress call. We got a mayday here. Mayday. This is the malia. Anybody picking this up . Amazing. Fortunately for him, the navy had a ship that was only three miles away. They were able to rescue him right away. He had enough food and water, i guess, to get through 12 days. Zr little dehydrated but alive, uninjured. Gives you hope. Absolutely. Another story thats incredible and certainly you dont see it every day, the woman on a plane gives birth. This is unbelievable story. Here is what happened. Southwest Airlines Flight takes v from San Francisco en route to phoenix. The plane was suddenly diverted to lax. You can imagine passengers were like, whats going they dont want to create a stir. Then here is what one paersseng had to say about it all. The pilot came on the speaker to say we were turning around, going back to l. A. They asked for scissors to cut the umbilical cord. Glad everything turned m out ok. It wasnt something you expect to see but it looks like a healthy baby. Did he say he cut the umbilical cord . They asked for scissors. Youre on the plane. Anybody have scissors . Which youre not supposed to have on board. Yeah, thats a good point. Excellent point. Im just saying. Knives would work. Surely the flight attendants have a first aid kit there, right . Dont call me vpshirley. I knew you were going to say it. Nurse and doctor on board. Airplane. Talking about an airplane. I think its perfectly logical to do that. Speaking of airplanes i have to give an update on the baby. Oh, im sorry, shirley. Thank you. The babys doing fine. Do we have a name . No, we dont have a name. Shirley. They dont have a name. They dont have a gender, but the baby is fine. The baby has a gender, we just dont know it. I said we dont know the gender. Dont you dare do that. Its an adorable story. Isnt it amazing how many times these stories have happy endings of police and firefighters delivering babies . Whats the rule for pregnancy when you fly . It depends on your doctor and it goes by the airlines. 36 . 38 weeks, according to southwest. Seven months, my doctor said, no more travel. I think i had a short flightyia boston l after that. Did it cross your mind . Theres good hospitals and good doctors on the other end of it. But in the middle but in the middle as youre onboard the flight, you just hope theres a doctor and nurse on board who know what to do. You cant even get nuts on the plane. Have a baby on the plane. Thatsut fantastic. Expedia airplane study, worst type of inflight annoyance besides me, rear seat kicker. I agree. The next one also is related, inattentive parents. Usually the rear seat kicker is the kid. Or annoyed passenger at the person who is reclining their seat into their space. Followed by the aromatic passenger. Does that mean smelly . Yes. Incensensitive pdlcpassenger insensitive passenger, headphones booming like crazy. Or no headphones. People do that now. Personally, you cant really hear anything. There is the boozer. These are the folks who have travelled with kathie lee. No judgment on that one. No judgment there. And chatty kathy. Oh, yeah. Thats a tough one. Sometimes ill put the headphones on because im going to listen to something and people are still chatting. Can you believe when a apparent doesnt stop a kid from kicking the seat . Were obsessed with our kids kicking the seat. Then the kid escalates to something far more disturbing than seat kicking. Its like crying and wailing. As long as you try. As long as the parent is trying. Agreed. Dont you think, though, theyre worried if i say, dont you kick, the kid will start tantruming . No. You try to put a stop to it. The guy who gets up to go to the bathroom and pulls the head of your seat and then lets go. And your head hits the seat in front of you. What is that . Theyre trying to leverage themselves up. Thats what the handles are for. You just have one. You have one. Youre defending that guy . Then youre like wiley coyote and hit that like a boulder. Youre in the middle seat not the middle seat. Window and you need to go to the restroom and they wont move and you have to climb over. Or theyre sleeping. And youre sometimes i sit there and go, hey, hey.

Not something we like to think about much, but threequarters of us will need longterm care some day. Not just for your parents but you need to start thinking about it for yourself. The author of planning for longterm care for dummyies, carol and jean chatzky. Good morning. Its not really your grandmothers longterm care. Its a far wider range of options. And it goes on for longer periods of time, involves many more choices. And i think its very exciting to have opportunities that are personcentered, not based on what institution need. But its also condition fusing and complicated. So you need to do your homework now. You need to do a lot of homework now. Its expensive, no question. If youre talking about bringing somebody in to your home to care for you, that can run 40,000 to 75,000 a year. Assisted living can be 40,000 a year, nursing hoenl can be 75 a year. Penal look at these numbers and think i cant do that so im not going to do anything which, as carol and i were talking about, thats a huge mistake. Who picks up that tab . Do Insurance Companies generally provide for that . Does medicaid cover all that have . Medicaid will step in, in certain cases. Often its the family taking time off work or stepping in to bring a Family Member in to your home and gets paid for in a piecemeal kind of way. Most of the longterm care in this country is provided by families, nearly 80 . Families dont get paid. Right. The other options where you do have to lay out money that are confusing. But thats at one end. Most of the care i did this for 17 years with my latehusband. So i know how hard it is. Starting from scratch, carolyn, whats a good place to start . A good place to start is where you are. I would say start today. Think about where you live, where your parent lives, what can you do to make that more comfortable, safer and more accessible. And those are modest expenses that can make a big difference, preventing falls, which is the reason most people wind up in Nursing Homes or other facilities. Right. What do i really want . Who are the important people in my life . How much of retirement should go toward longterm care and how much should you putting aside for it . Understand your retirement will fund your Long Term Care in a lot of ways. Even if you can just increase your contribution one or two percent a year until youre maxing out, that is a huge, huge deal.

Happening now, another morning of cleanup in the east bay after protests got out of hand again last night. Some demonstrators turned into looters targeting businesses along san pablo in emeryville, including a pack and save, liquor store, and cvs. We talked to police this morning, they told us they needed extra help to cover all that chaos. We were ready for it as best we could, were a small agency, only 13 officers on last night. But this is something that shouldnt happen in our city and its very frustrating for us. No word yet on the number of arrests. Protesters, of course, still angry over the grand jury decisions in ferguson and new york city. The bay area bracing for a huge storm tomorrow. Its being touted as the largest in years. Crews out clearing drains and lots of people sand bagging, as well. Lets check your weather right now. Hey, thanks. You know, upper 50s are bearable, not too cold out there, but this is our last day with temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. Tomorrow all these numbers crash, but before we get that cold air, weve got a lot of rain and wind to get through. This storm system is potent. Theres a Flash Flood Warning in place for the entire bay area tonight. All the way through tomorrow night. In addition to that, really fierce wind on the way to the bay area and potentially eight inches of rain in the high elevations, two to four in san jose. Latest today at 11 00. First, heres mike and your drive. Oakland, still slow, a lot of low clouds right here. Look at your maps, focus is on the bay bridge coming in, also in the north bay shows slowing south 101 from san rafael.

I have two 5yearolds and we just moved to new york city as my 5yearold says. I pulled these off of my iphone. I watched you do it this morning. One christmas i want everybody to have a holiday card from me and the kids. A little binky tell but that in a second. The other twin Claire Josephine we call her clara. Two of my new years resolution oh, there is my husband that is Denzel Washington kind of. He is handsome. My gosh who else thinks he looks like denzel . Really . Denzel . I didnt do so bad, had you .

We have a guy on today who tells the four main reasons why youre a lousy husband. Band. You cannot believe how honest this guy is. I think its good stuff to get into. I was going to forward that to my husband, but i didnt want him to get the wrong idea. Sounds like hes doing hes a good guy. You had your first night out last night knowing that you wouldnt be in for hoda. I never go out. Three kids under 5, as you can imagine. Last night im working on a story called eat with. You can sign up to have dinner with complete strangers. Which is my idea of hell. It was fantastic. I thought so, too. Let me tell you. The chefs are people who are not professional chefs, maybe an accountant by day but have a passion for cooking. Darn good chefs. Amazing. My dessert alone chai chocolate cheesecake.

You walk in, and you never know who youre going to meet. Say im a complete stranger. What would you do . The first thing you do is say hi. Nobody does match what do you do . Thats what i was going to ask you first. So far its a lousy party. Whats interesting, a lot of the people are single. But there was one girl i really admired, 24 years old, just moved to new york city. Doesnt know a lot of people. She signed up. You walk into a room, sit at a roundtable and theres a woman who is giving you her best. Amazing. Panoramic views of the city. It was my first night out. I ended up going to midnight. Four hours later, this is true, mommy, i cant find my pacy. Im holding my cell phone looking around the room for a pacy. Thats what we call a binky. Used to sanitize it. The dog has been sucking on it. So what. I dont even suck on it anymore. True story now. Give me like three weeks, im going to try to be pacy free. Ill tell you what worked for me. My daughter didnt want to have a pacifier. He was in love with his binky. Hes a gorgeous hunk now, but got him off at it. We threw it out. I blamed the garbage man. I said, cody, the garbage man took it. For the next year, every garbage truck he goes that guy took my binky. He had issues, needed therapy. It worked. You know what it is . Im afraid theres two of them at once. There have been times when we lose them and we say, were not going to buy anymore, dont you crack, dont you crack.

That feeling can leave some guys rattled, like this scene from the movie goodbye to all that. Youre getting divorced . How did you hear that . I didnt have told anybody. Thats horrible, horrible. You think of yourself as the biggest loser ever, right . Well, really i dont know whats happening. I muddle through my days. Im stunned. Well, musician dad and your tango writer serge bianca came to the realization he made four mig mistakes and blog about it in the post. And psychiatrist ish major is here. This is recent, not something you had years to think about. No. Its fairly sudden. I think with divorce, yes, i never dreamed that i would be married in the first place. I got married, had kids. And then i never dreamed i would be divorced. Im not sure which one im worse at. How old are your kids . My kids are 5, violet is 5, henry is 3 and charlie is nine months. Your divorce is almost final . Yes. Ish, is it healthy hes here writing this blog . I think its very cathartic. Hindsight is 20 20. Hes got laser vision for us now to share lessons that we can learn. Lets start with the four. Mistake number one, you said you got fat. What did you mean by that . Mostly i mean that metaphorically speaking, meaning i got lazy. I certainly did get fat. I drank too many beers just sitting on the couch. More than that, i stopped concentrating on the fact that theres someone else sharing my life with me. Equally important. Im sure she would probably Say Something to the same effect, that we both became lazy, concentrating on one another, thinking about our life together. Is that a matter of taking everybody for granted . Absolutely right. He touched on it. Continue to do the work, continue to date. Youve got to do the killer b, be kind, be compassionate, be flirty, be sexy. You have to continue to work. I was about to say, number two you said sex was all about you. Yes, it was. Im embarrassed to say that on national tv. Maybe it will help some people. I believe that sex should be fun, it should be awesome. For everybody. For everyone involved. We dont judge if theres five or six people there. It should be fun for everybody. Right. The communication part of it is such a huge thing im finding out after the fact. You should have talked through should she say this is not good for me . She did. She would tell me thinks in the bedroom. And you ignored her . I didnt ignore her. I would say why is she talking right now . Oh all the guys are going yeah, yeah. All the women are going oh ish, this is a common problem . A big problem because when you get married, you stop communicating. Here is what guys fail at foreplay. When she wakes up in the morning, say good morning, beautiful, how did you sleep . I would say good morning. Number three, you didnt help pay the bills. I helped pay the bills in the sense that i made money. I always had a job, didnt lay around playing video games. However, my wife was very good with finances, and i just allowed her to take over paying the bills. You were relieved probably. In a sense i would think, okay, i mow the lawn, you pay the bills. Looking back on it, if i had just made an effort and said, can i help, can i sit down with you once a week, once a month even and maybe help you. Figure this out. Even if i dont understand whats going on. Sometimes we dont want to handled everything, even if were capable. We want to feel like partners in things. Exactly. It would have gone a long way. The fourth one. Number four, you said things you can never take back. I certainly did. I think anybody that has ever been through a rough relationship, you have these habit energies that you might go to where you turn into someone that throws things or someone that gets angry. For me it was words. I used words as weapons. So painful. Its worse than anything i can imagine. Its a form of abuse in a sense. We have to go. We could talk to you all day long. Ish, is he on the road to having next relationship is going to be fabulous because youve learned the lessons and moved on and taking the time to heal. Thats the most important thing. Dont forget those kids in the process. You be a great daddy to them, too. Thanks. Thanks for having me. If you want to read the original blog posting go to klgandhoda. Com.

Now the north bay will likely feel it late tonight, maybe early tomorrow. A Flash Flood Warning tonight, as well, and theres a high wind and High Surf Advisory starting tonight, as well. Crews out in force, clearing the drains ahead of the storm. Pg e bracing for outages. Everybody should have nonperishable food in case your refrigerator goes out, flashlights, batteries, bottled water. Charge your cell phone now in case the power goes out later. Well have a look at weather and traffic coming up after the break. Welcome back now. Im meteorologist Christina Loren. The calm before the storm. Temps in the 50s and were going to end up in the 60s for today. So really kind of last day with actually mild temperatures out there. After this system moves in, its going to bring a lot of rain, wind, and cold air with it, as well. Its the rain and wind combined that were really concerned about. Were talking about frequent gusts to 50 Miles Per Hour, a saturated ground maybe up to eight inches of rain for parts of the bay area, so the storm reports are expected. Well get a little break over the weekend, then more rain on monday. Well have your full forecast tracking the storm hour by hour today at 11 00. First heres mike and your drive. Over towards berkley through the haze, see westbound still a little slow. Good congestion out there. Eastbound we had construction crews traveling north, as well. Theres the flashing lights north of university. Theres the slower drive, 580 recovering, but thats about it for the morning commute in the east bay. No problems 880, and 101 slow through san mateo, clear through san jose, but 237, delay. Thats about it for the south bay. Otherwise good. Back to you, scott. All right. Full storm preps at 11 00 next newscast. See you then. Were back with more of today on this wines day wednesday ready to play who knew. Im Shienelle Jones sitting in for hoda.

Here we have the resident language expert at buzzfeed, emmy. This is princess betsy from ithaca. Its your birthday. I hope you get what you want today, kathie lees signify. To signify something happens rarely, it is common to use the phrase once in a blue moon. According to nasa a blue moon occurs once every 2 1 2 years, 10 years or 100 years . A. Yeah. She got it. Im impressed. Its actually not as infrequent as you might think. A blue moon is defined as the second full moon in a calendar month. According to nasa it happens once every 2 1 2 years. Number two. This lovely girl is bundled up, shes from lakeland. In your phrase mind your ps and qs, does it stand for puppets and queens, puppets and pranksters or points and quarts . Im going to go with c. Genius. The most common theory is back in the day they used to serve beer in points and quarts. If a bar tended wanted to tell a patron they were getting out of hand, they would tell the person to mind their ps and qs. Now it means to we are on a roll i love thee. Ryan from lancaster. Pennsylvania barking up the wrong tree is believed to have been inspired by hunting dogs, kids climbing trees, tree bark. Hunting dogs. Wait a minute is it always this perfect . I dont know. I didnt know that either. Yeah. So. Back in the day dogs that were helping their hunters out, if they were literally barking up a wrong tree, if the prey in the tree and the prey would move to the wrong tree, they were barking up the wrong tree. It makes sense. Didnt know that. Were on a roll. The pressure is on. I dont like the roll. This lady is from tampa. In medieval england, hosts would serve a cold piece of meat to signify it was time to leave. What popular saving is this practice credited with inspiring, Cold Shoulder, cold turkey or humble pie. B, cold turkey. Finally whats the answer . The answer is Cold Shoulder. In medieval england, when a host would have a big feast, even though the Cold Shoulder now is considered something rude, it actually is derived from a polite gesture. When a feast was being given, the host would signify that it was time to leave by serving a cold peace of meat from the shoulder. A random piece of knowledge. Time for one more. Another lady from tampa. The saying more than you can shake a stick at is inspired by teachers and students, farmers and sheep, brothers and sisters . B. Yep. Youre supposed to be happy. Quickly, whats that one . Farmers control the direction their sheep were going by shaking a stick at them. If they had more sheep than they could actually control, it was thought to be more than you could shake a stick at. Amy, i feel a little smarter this morning. Thank you for coming in.

Theyll get even darker as the season goes on. Amazing. Amazing. I will be eating all day. Well use the zest of the lemon or the orange as well as the juice. We have to take the zest off first. What am i doing . In or dore get the zest off without getting too much of the white tip, very lightly scrape and keep rotating. The mang thing is to not press too hard. You make it look so easy. It gets easy. Keep your finger out of the way. Thats it. You want very pale there. Thats what you have left. Thats all you need. Were going to do four of them for the blood orange. First well make the crust. We have in here flower and confectioner sugar. Put that on and pulse it. Not until it makes a ball. You dont want a soufflet. Exactly. Ill dump this in. Use something flat. This is a little trick. Like like this . And press it down very lightly. What does that do . It helps keep it level and it bakes evenly. Who knew . We have nine yolks and three eggs h. Is the blood orange juice after you zest the orange. Its all so fresh. I think thats what you can taste. A beautiful color, too. And a little bit of lemon juice. You want a little tanginess in there. The eggs Work Together to thicken. Smell vision. Yes. Sugar . How much . Two cups. So you cook that until it thickens. Then it looks like this. See that texture . This is known as curd. The english love those words. Then you need to strain it because you want to strain out all the zest or it gets bitter. This is a very fine strainer. More butter. Of course. You put that through like this. The hot curds over the butter. That looks so yummy. Pre bake your crust halfway. When i was little, i would do that. You can find the recipes on our website.
