About details for the first time of her daughters death and the questions she still wrestles with every day. A candid conversation with Cissy Houston today, monday, january 28th, 2013. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today on a monday morning. Im matt lauer. Good morning, everyone. Im Savannah Guthrie. Just a terrible story out of brazil. That country is declaring three days of National Mourning now for the victims of that deadly nightclub fire as the investigation gets under way. Its a huge tragedy. Consider the loss of life. It was apparently started, that fire, by some kind of an onstage stunt. Some kind of pyrotechnic device, many victims under the age of 206789 this morning we have new details on that tragedy, including reports that the bar was well above its legal capacity at the time of the fire. Well get a live report on that, straight ahead. Also ahead, a cia officer se celebrated for helping to bring down one of the worlds most dangerous terrorists. Now he has been sentenced to 30 months in jail for leaking classified information. Is he a hero or did he betray his colleagues . He is with us for an exclusive interview. Also new information in the Jonbenet Ramsey case. Reports that a grand jury actually indicted john and patsy ramsey in connection with the death. Why did the prosecutor decline to try that case . We begin with that tragic nightclub fire in brazil. Mike taibbi has the latest. Mike, good morning. Good morning, savannah. It has been a dead lly combinatn in the past, a nightclub filled with revelers and pyrotechnics and few too ways to escape led to panic. In santa maria, it was packed with its usual saturday nightclub when, at 2 00 in the morning, disaster. A swiftmoving fire filled the Groundfloor Club with thick smoke. Witnesses said Club Security initially blocked several emergency exits, thinking p patrons were leaving without paying and that left only a few ways out. In the ensuing panic, some victims were trampled. Most died of smoke inhalation. Many witnesses told police this fire was triggered by the use of some incindiery device on stage. The band used fireworks and as we heard it was usual for this presentation but the ceiling was too short. Reporter some club goers who did make it out joined firemen and onlookers in their attempt to open new exits using sledge hammers and axes. Victims were carried to ambulances and other vehicles and were quickly moved to the trauma center. Scattered around the hospital. Those waiting outside are desperate. Reporter desperate, too, were those waiting for the worst news, the numbers of the dead rising so quickly. They were moved to a school gymnasium. We had themd laying side by side. Reporter a packed club, too few escape routes and a fire from an onstage fireworks display brought to mind other similarities. But as brazils president , dilma rouseff, con consoled victims here, getting ready to host the olympics. Well above its legal capacity. One witness said the tragedy unfolded in seconds. The fire and the panic spreading equally quickly. Savannah . Mike taibbi, thank you very much. Mike mentioned the warwick, rhode island, tragedy in 2003. 100 people died there. People in the new york area remember one further back, 1974. Unfortunately i lived right up the hill from gullivers nightclub. 200 and so people died in that. The formula seems to be the same, too many people, not enough exits, not a plan of what to do when something goes wrong. And utter chaos and confusion when people are trying to figure out what is going on. Its a terrible story. Here at home a lot of people are talking about that interview with president obama and Hillary Clinton as the secretary of state enters her final week on the job. What does it mean . White house correspondent Peter Alexander has details on that. Good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning to you. The president simply wants to thank Hillary Clinton for being what he called one of the finest secretaries of state weve ever had. The mutual gushing didnt end there. They were side by side, at times finishing each sentences. A joint interview, their first together that even clinton acknowledged in 2008 would have seemed improbable. What a difference five years makes. I consider hillary a friend. I mean, very warm, close i think theres a sense of understanding. Sometimes it doesnt even take words, because we have similar views. Reporter on 60 minutes sunday, bitter rivals turned partners show how far their relationship has evolved. Stamina and thoughtfulness. Friendships involve a sense of trust, being in the fox hole together and that emerged during the course of months when we were making some very tough decisions. Reporter the secretary of state will officially step down friday, dismiss the 2008 Campaign Battle as ancient history. Despite our hardfought primary, we had such agreement on what needed to be done for our country. Made for tough debates, by the way. It did. We could never figure out what we differed on. We worked at that pretty hard. Reporter clinton wearing glasses, instead of contact lenses, says she now empathizes with athletes and those who suffer from concussions. Unleashed speculation, as whether viewers should see it as an endorsement for 2016, especially when reports are that Vice President joe biden is intoxica intoxicated with the idea. You guys in the press are incorigable. I was literally inaugurated four d days ago and youre talking about four years from now. Reporter still she left the door open for a president ial run. I dont think either he or i can make predictions about whats going to happen tomorrow or the next year. Reporter as if to emphasize how quickly their nasty campaign, old feelings had evap rised, they quickly agreed it had a much bigger effect on their spouses than it did them. Making people wonder if theres any expiration on this endorsement. Chuck todd, good morning to you. Good morning. Since we are incorrigible, lets take it one step further. What did we watch last night, an incoming president give a warm farewell to an outgoing secretary of state or did we watch a president pass the baton now . Reporter had Hillary Clinton not taken his invitation, the possibility of a Democratic Party that was split in two, senator Hillary Clinton sort of being the arbiter of any policy proposal the president was going to put out there, it would have been reminiscent, negatively in Democratic Party circles of the jimmy carter, ted kennedy years, which hurt the party for nearly a decade. This really was a thank you. Because getting her to come in and the fact that she was such a team player once she went in, this was really the president doing that. Im with you, matt. I think the picture speaks louder than any words can say and there is this running joke of whether joe biden is still being peeled off the ceiling when he found out about this interview. No major headline coming out of the interview. However, headlines were made about the time we were watching that interview by a Bipartisan Group of senators who put together an immigration reform. This ahead of the president s plan that he will lay out. Its an agreement in principle. The players are just as interesting as the proposal itself. Republicans that are coming to this agreement are john mccain, marco rubio, jeff flake, lindsey graham, the democrats, chuck schumer, dick durbin, michael benn bennet, robert menendez. Probably the most controversial part will be all of these folks here in this country illegally under this proposal, should it pass, would not be asked to leave the country. They would have a path to citizenship, a path to being legal and that, of course, the devil is going to be in the details on this. But that is going to be the test, whether conservative republicans who have been against this for a long time, whether they can sign on to it. Well get a chance to listen to what the president has to say on this, as i mentioned, tomorrow in las vegas. Chuck todd in washington. Thank you very much. You got it. Lets check in with Natalie Morales with the days top stories. Good morning, savannah and matt. Violence raging on the streets of cairo for the fifth straight day this morning. Eamon. Reporter clashes taking place between protesters and police, as you mention ed, for the fifth straight day. All weekend long, intense fighting in the city of alexandria. That led president Mohamed Morsi to issue a stern warning last night in addition to declaring a state of emergency, imposing a curfew on those cities and, more importantly, giving the countrys powerful military the authority to arrest civilians. That has triggered condemnation from the opposition here, refusing an invitation from president morsi to meet later today to try to resolve this crisis politically. Natalie . Thank you very much. Turkish airline jet struck by lightning. The strike caused the plane to catch fire and flames can be seen shooting past the passengers windows as the cabin lig lights flickered on and off. The fire could even be spotted from the ground. The plane landed safely, fortunately. No one on board was hurt. Small plane crash in the d hudson river has ended with a rescue. Both people on board that single engine plane were plucked from the water wearing lifevests. Theyre in stable condition and treated for hypothermia. Incredible stunt at the x games almost had disastrous resu results. Snowmobile spun out of control during a black flip. He managed to fall away from the vehicle, but the snowmobile sped off into the crowd. One boy was thrown out of the path of the snowmobile by his father. He was checked out and is okay apparently. Top honor of the evening went to ben affleck for his cia thriller argo, which won for best ensemble cast in a movie. Daniel day lewis won for best actor in lincoln and Silver Linings playbook. What may or may not have been a wardrobe malfunction. Did her Christian Dior gown tear and reveal the sheer mesh . No. For a moment it was visible as she climbed the stairs to the stage. If we could do that replay one more time, matt and al are wondering. Soma ward shows now. Finally, this one has managed to distinguish itself from the others. You have a pair of pant that is do that. Tear away pants. Thank you, natalie. Mr. Roker . We have a mess in the northeast starting from washington, making its way into boston next 12 hours. Its going to be a real mess. Weve got winter storm real mess. We have winter storm watches, Winter Weather advisories and freezing rain advisories from virginia up into the northeast. We have snow up in new england and upstate new york. Icy conditions through the ohio river valley on down into parts of the northeast. We are looking for about a tenth to a quarter inch of ice in central pennsylvania and new york state. Up to three to six inches of snow in northern new england. But the icy conditions will make for a mess on the roads and making their way into the airports. Well get to your local forecast after these messages. Good morning. Im tom kierein. Storm team 4 radar. We are getting freezing rain. Rain thats falling and freezing on elevated surfaces west and north of washington. Areas in green are zones getting rain in washington, points south and east where its above freezing. Well get icing west of 95 for another two, three hours getting and thats your latest weather. Savannah . Al, thank you. Sarah palin says the door is wide open when it comes to her longterm plans after parting ways from fox news. Does the former Vice President ial candidate already have her next move mapped out . Kelly odonnell takes a look at that for us. Good morning. Sarah palin has people guessing this morning again. Its not about will she or wont she run for office, but what will she do next . After a breakup that seemed unlikely between the conservaticonservformer governor and her conservative home at fox. In the four years and five months since sarah palin jolted the political world, she konked out at an unusual space, at the corner of politics only dead fish go with the flow. Reporter celebrity and pop culture. The only poll i care about is the north pole and that is melting. Shes doing her home tls work. Reporter even husband, todd, is on the current cover of alaska magazine, but her main gig is over. She now wants to be more of an outsider. She wants to pose as someone different than fox. Fox says we have thoroughly enjoyed our association with governor palin and wish her the best. Palin turned to the conservative website to hint at her future saying i know the country need morse truth telling in the media and im willing to do that. So, we shall see. While some Tea Party Candidates palin championed won in 2012, like senator ted cruise and fisher, many say palin and the Tea Party Movement have lost interest. New gop stars are on the rise and more visible. On meet the press, palins successor as vp candidate paul ryan on his 2016 prospects. I think its just premature. Reporter the Republican Party has its own job, trying to retool its brand and broaden its appeal. With a place for palin unclear. Sarah palin had so much star power, its possible that she can be at least part of the conversation, if not a dominant figure in the Republican Party. We know sarah palin has both loyal supporters and very vocal critics. Sources close to her say fox did offer a contract. Obviously they didnt come to terms and she does plan to stay part of the national conversation. With this move she says shes taking her own advice by, quote, jumping out of the comfort zone. Savannah . Kelly odonnell in washington, thank you. Now heres matt. Savannah, thank you. New information is coming to light in the Jonbenet Ramsey case, more than six years after her death. In 1999, the District Attorney announced there wasnt sufficient evidence to file charges against anyone. Evidently a grand jury had a different opinion. Erica hill is here with the story. Good morning to you, matt. A grand jury voted to indict john and patsy ramsey, jonbenets parents. Nbc news spoke to them that they remain anonymous. A little girls body was found in the basement. Reporter john and patsy ramsey pleaded to find their daughters killer. They even offered a reward. Yet from the beginning investigators focused on jonbenets parents. They do remain under an umbrella of suspicion. Reporter the 6yearold beauty queens parents were never charged in connection with their daughters death and strongly deny any suggestion they were somehow involved. I did not kill my daughter, jonbenet. I did not have anything to do with it. Reporter in september 1998, the case was brought to a boulder grand jury. More than a year later on the day they concluded, alex hunter, then boulder d. A. , addressed the public. I and my Prosecution Task force believe we do not have sufficient evidence to warrant the filing of charges. Reporter now more than 13 years later, were learning the grand jury didnt agree. According to the boulder daily camera, which spoke with members of the grand jury on condition of anonymity, they voted to indict both ramseys on charges of child abuse that resulted in the death of jonbenet. We dont see this scenario, grand juries wanted to indict and prosecutors saying no. Reporter confirms the grand jury voted to indict the ramseys. He believes hunters decision not to prosecute was courageous. There just simply was a lack of evidence. Reporter one juror, who spoke with the daily camera told the paper, quote, we didnt know who did what, but we felt the adults in the house may have done something, or they certainly could have prevented or helped her and they didnt. In a 2001 interview, hunter told nbc he had no regrets about his decisions in the case. I have enough people that i respect that have said to me, you know, you made a tough call. You made a call that the public didnt like, but you were true to the law. You were a good prosecutor. And thats plenty for me. In a statement, john ramseys attorney told nbc the dna tests performed after the time of the boulder grand jury not only prove the ramseys to be innocent and the grand jury wrong they also make d. A. Alex hunter a hero who wisely avoided a miscarriage of justice. This is going to open up a whole new round of conversations. Yes. About this 16yearold case. Erica, thank you very much.

Tomorrow here on today, former Vice President al gore will be here live to talk about politics, business and some of his predictions for the future. Then on wednesday another rare interview, billionaire philanthropist bill gates will join us live in our studio. We want to start off this half hour with a former cia officer sentenced to 30 months in jail, the first former cia officer to be sentenced to jail for leaking classified documents. First his backstory with andrea mitchell. Reporter John Kiriakou is enjoying family time. His last few weeks before going to jail. The first cia officer to be impris imprisoned for disclosing classified information to a reporter. I want to say i came out of court positive, confident and optimist optimistic. Reporter kiriakou plead guilty to revealing the ooit identity of a convert cia officer involved in interrogating al qaeda terrorists, an officer whose own family didnt know he worked for the cia. His identity later became public, after turning up in a defense motion for guantanamo detainees. It led investigators to mr. Kiriakou who admitted in court that he knowingly intentionally outed the identity of this agent. Reporter identifying himself as a whistleblower for leaking the waterboarding techniques. In your opinion, torture or not torture . Yes, torture. Im not saying it wasnt necessary at the time. Ill let the lawyers decide whether it was legal, but at the time i think it was necessary to disrupt terrorist attacks. Reporter playing a key role in capturing Al Qaeda Leaders but prosecutors say he is no hero. Initially they charge him with leaking other names but dropped those charges when he agreed to plead guilty. He revealed other classified information to other reporters and this was really just the tip of the iceberg. Reporter in court friday, federal judge leoni brinkama called the sentence, frankly, way too light. Signed a letter urging president obama to commute the sentence. It is terribly ironic that in an administration that outlawed the use of torture for interrogating detainees, the only person going to prison is the person who spoke out against torture. Reporter joining others who say kiriakou is being used as an example for an administration determined to crack down on leaks. Andrea mitchell, nbc, washington. John kiria kchkou is joining. Good morning. Good to see you. Thank you for having me. Some say you betrayed your former colleagues in order to sell books and get a Consulting Firm going. Others say you were wrongly convicted. I wear this conviction as a badge of honor because its not about leaking. This case was about torture from the very beginning. If every cia officer or former cia officer was prosecuted for referring a reporter to a former colleague for an interview, prisons would be bursting with cia agents. Let me stop you right there. You acknowledged, you pleaded guilty and you admitted you identified a cia officer who was, in fact, convert. Thats against the law. You dont disagree with that . No. I never should have done that. That was a terrible mistake. Do you think prosecutors should have let this slide . I think there are administrative matters that certainly could have been taken. When this happen with his current cia officers, you get a letter of reprimand in your file, two weeks without pay. There are other laws or other government regulations that can be used to take care of Something Like this but to pursue me for the intelligence identities protections act was heavy handed. In fact, the author of the intelligence identities protections act volunteered to testify at my trial because he said thats not why the law was written. I have come to learn that most whistleblowers dont believe theyre whistleblowers in the beginning. I do meet the Legal Definition of whistleblowing, bringing forward waste, fraud or illegality. And thats what i did. Youre saying that the government started targeting you after you spoke out first in 2007, a time when you said these practices, in your view, were torture. You said that officials high in the government authorized them. You also said they worked. In fact, in 2007, you told msnbc you were coming forward then because you thought that the agency had gotten, quote, a bum rap on waterboarding. Thats someone who is defending these practices not yes, i did defend them. Because i was relying on what officers told me in the building, these methods were effective. That turned out to be a lie. Fair enough. How does that make you a whistleblower . In that first interview in 2007 i said it was torture and it was official u. S. Government policy. If your purpose was to blow the whistle by talking to these reporters you admitted not just to the leaking of one name but you also acknowledge giving classified information to yet a second reporter. Did you ask these journalists, hey, what are you going to do with this information . Let me correct you on one thing. This is something that the prosecution has been saying from the very beginning. They actually charged me with espionage for, quote, unquote, leaking a namative former colleague to a New York Times reporter. The colleague was never undercover. I did not leak the name. The reporter came to me with a name. You disclosed the connection of that officer to a classified operation. Thats what you acknowledge in your statement of fact. The classified operation being the rendition, interrogation program. It was no secret that the cia in 2008, 2009 was seeking to capture and detain Al Qaeda Leaders. Lets try to clear something up. In a recent New York Times article you express remorse about disclosing this mans identity. You said if id known the guy was still undercover i would never have mentioned him. You said in an interview, he was always undercover, how the heck did they get him . In connection with this guilty plea you said, yes, i knew he was undercover. Yeah. Which is it . I knew he was undercover during the course of his career. I also heard he retired and was living somewhere in northern virginia. I didnt realize he retired undercover. Thats not an excuse or a defense. Its an explanation. Are you hoping that president obama will commute your sentence . You have many supporters who think that he should. Ive been very fortunate. There are many prominent americans from the left, from the right and from the center who are asking the president to commute my sentence. I hope that he does, of course. I have believed in president obama, i still do. I voted for president obama. And i know that in his heart hes antitorture. This case is about torture. And i would hate for there to be only one person going to prison related to the torture program and it being me when the torturers are walking free and those who conceived of the torture are free, those who destroyed evidence of the torture are free and even the attorneys who papered over the torture are free. Does that absolve you of your wrongdoing in this case . No, no, and i accept responsibility for my wrongdoing. You disclosed the name of this officer to the journalist, who in turn passed it to a defense investigator, a picture of this officer ended up in the jail cell of a terror suspect. Uhhuh. How do you feel about that . I feel awful. And i wonder why the Justice Department didnt investigate the journalist. Because he really wasnt a journalist. He was working for the defense. John kiriakou, thank you very much. Good to have you here. Thanks for having me. We want to go outside and have a check of the weather from al. Thanks, savannah. Northern australia is getting huge amounts of rain, causing massive flooding. Check it out as this car tries to pass the bus, seafoam covering the car. It distracts the officers.

Now her mom is out with a new book about her life. Well talk to Cissy Houston in a moment. First the highlights of whitneys incredible career. One moment in time she was called, quite simply, the voice. When im race iing with desti with her vast arsenal of soulful ballads. Where do broken hearts go and top hits. Theres a boy i know its easy to understand why Whitney Houston was the most honored female artist of all time. At the pinnacle of her career, she also starred in box office hits. Will always love you i didnt we almost have it all but behind all that profound talent there was a troubled marriage to singer bobby brown and drug abuse. Her musical legacy will not soon be forgotten. Cissy houstons new book is called remembering whitney a mothers story of life, loss and the night the music stopped. I see you smile when you look at those images. I have a lot of smiles for her. Shes great. So many people loved your daughter from afar. But she was your little girl. Not as much as i did. How has this last year been for you . How are you feeling . Im all right. Im getting through it, hopefully. You write of terrible grief in this book. You write i would be sitting in a chair crushed under a burden of grief and suddenly i would hear someone screaming and then i would realize those screams were coming from me. Yeah. How did you want to tell this story . Because they have it all wrong about her and our relationship. We had no troubled relationship. We had a great relationship. Just because kids, when they get to a certain age, they want to do and dont want their mothers to know. I think people just make up thing things, you know. And its not like that at all. She and i were very, very close. She knew i loved her and i knew she loved me. There were troubled times with her husband. I think other things troubled her so much, you know. The last time you saw her, i think, was at christmas, right before she passed away in february. Right. It sounds like there were some tender moments. Very tender. What do you remember . I remember coming there, i was kind of angry, because they didnt come for dinner and all that kind of stuff. But i went some place else. And i was kind of punishing them. But they called me and said, mom, were here. Are you going to come . I said, yes, i will, after i come back from where im coming. The next day i did. Christmas day i went to new york and i met my children, all of them. And i was so glad to see her. I didnt see her that much but we always communicated in some manner. Then you got that terrible news in february. The l. A. Coroners report ultimately concluded that she passed of a combination of a heart condition but also the use of cocaine. There were many other drugs found in her system. And this was a lifelong struggle, it would seem, with drugs. Were you surprised at that point . Did you think she was doing better at that point . I did think she was doing better. And drugs stay in your system a long time. She didnt have to do that that day, you know what im saying . It could be a week ago or whatever, what i know about it. I dont really know much about it. This is a very honest book. You ask yourself some tough questions. You write, should i have done things differently . Was i a good mother . Was i too hard on her . And the worst one of all, could i have saved her somehow . I think good mothers, good fathers, good families dont always have great children. Bad people have good children. Its all their responsibility when they get to a certain age to choose their way. She was taught, she knew the way. Was there a moment when you knew, i have lost her to this illness, to drug addiction . Yeah. But when i did that, i went and got her. Is that when you went yes. What did you see when you walked into that house . She told on oprah what i saw, you know what im saying . Its not the way she had been brought up and lived and all that kind of business. Things that she didnt do, but things that i thought her husband did, you know. Let me ask you about bobby brown. I dont know too much about bobby brown. I dont want to talk about bobby brown. You are very restrained in the book. You say you dont blame him but youre not sure he helped her. I know he didnt help her. I dont blame him. Everybody is responsible for their own actions up to a point, you know. And i think that she was raised, she knew better. And whatever took her to that position, i really dont know. You write about a woman in the book, somebody that you didnt care for all that much. You say they were very good friends. They were. Lived together for a time. You say there were rumors that swirled around that relationship. You come to the conclusion you dont honestly know what that relationship was about. In your heart of hearts, what do you think that relationship with that woman was about . That they were good friends. Like raquel welsh, she had a lot of women around her. They thought the same thing about her. She was living her life the way she wanted to do it. You must miss her terribly. I miss her so much, i cant even express it. Theres so much heartbreak in this book. You talk about times when you feel like she wasnt in touch as much. No. Well, when children, i think, are doing what they want to do, they dont always call their parents, you know. Or whatever. They seem to stay away. A lot of people come up to you now and say, whitney, she was taken too soon. And you write in the book, youre not sure about that. You have a different perspective on that. Well, i trust in god. And we never know what his his ways are not our ways so we have to go with that. And theres nothing i can do about it. I loved her. She was wonderful. Im very proud of her accomplishments. And i was very proud of her, and i still am. Cissy houston, such a delight to talk to you. I know its not easy, but we appreciate you being here. Well talk to you more in our next hour. We look forward to that. Thank you. The book is called remembering whitney. You can read an excerpt on today. Com. Well be back after this.

A new blood test that reveals the gender of the baby and much more at an earlier stage than before. Well tell you more about that. But first this is today on nbc. Announcer todays health is brought to you by alkaseltzer plus, available in a liquid gel. Were back at 8 37 with todays health. This morning a new genetic testing for expectant moms. In a couple of moments well meet a couple who just tried it and are about to learn the sex of their baby live. First here is janet shamlian. Dont you love that one . Reporter expecting their first baby together this summer. Go back to the planning and just be as prepared as you can for your child coming into the world. Reporter at almost 35, shes at a higher risk than younger mothers for delivering a baby with genetic abnormalities, like down syndrome. To screen for those, doctors would use tests like amniocentesis, which are invasive and can give false positive results. Doctors suggest something relatively new and different. Its the best test that we have thats noninvasive today. Reporter a simple blood draw as early as the tenth week of pregnancy, allowing some of the fetus dna to be extracted and tested. According to robins doctor, now using the test in her practice. Youre buying that patient an extra either month or even two that they can opt to do other testing, see a specialist and things like that. Reporter it costs about the same as amniocentesis, around 2,000. Results come back in a week. The manufacturer claims an accuracy rate of 99 . The advantage is that theres no risk to the test, no invasive testing. Reporter it can lessen the chance of miscarriage. Experts caution it does have limits. You can do, for instance, the test were discussing right now and you will know about trisomes. That doesnt guarantee that there couldnt be some other problem with the baby. Reporter robin and her husband, getting an earlier answer on potential jeannetgene issues was important. One less thing for us to worry about, being 35 and older at delivery. Reporter thats not the reason for the test but it is a benefit for some, it will reveal early on the babys gender. That would work. Reporter for today, janet shamlian, nbc news. And robin and Jason Vossler are with us now along with nbcs chief medical editor, dr. Nancy snyderman. Hey, matt. Good morning to all of you. I hate to gv a womans age on the air. You had the test a week ago. Youll be 35 when you give birth. Is that the reason you decided to have this test because youre in that highrisk category . Yes. First doctors appointment, the doctor sat us down and said we would be considered advanced maternal age at delivery and went over the precautionary tests they want you to take and checking for down syndrome is one they begin at 35. You took the test about a week ago. You just received the results from this test. Yes. And those results told you what . The test came back negative. They check for three different kinds of down syndrome. It just meant that that chromosome wasnt showing. So the baby does not have down syndrome. Had the test come back in another way, would you have gone off for other testing, gone to see a specialist . What would the course of action have been . I think for us it would have been what is the next step . Do we need to see another doctor, are there precautionary tests . This is less invasive than amniocentesis where they put a needle into the uterus. Are you in favor of this . Its not that im in favor of it. Its the next scientific step. For a couple to say, look, its not a gender issue. If we want to rule out some problems that are incompatible with life, and yes, we want to know about down syndrome. This is a way to find out early and then abort because we want the perfect baby, critics will say. Exactly. Voslers have said its not about that for them. Its about being able to plan. We talked about this. They said no, were going to go ahead with the pregnancy but we would line up specialists, talk to pediatricians, plan for extra daycare. And i think in that regard, it allows people to really think, okay, whats the realistic expectation of this pregnancy and what is my life like with this new baby . Its going to be an individual choice . Very individual and it allows you to plan three to four weeks earlier than amniocentesis. I did mention that theres another side benefit.

How to build your nachos with the perfect balance of toppings for super bowl sunday. First this is today on nbc. Todays american story with bob dotson comes from colorado where one family reminds us that work and life are not the same words. Good morning to you. Good morning, savannah. On vacation last summer, and born that simple truth. Now theyre doing something that most of us only dream. The kids love kayaking so much, they found water cold enough to slide on. So no one was really surprised when they set out this winter on a much bigger adventure. Traveling the unknown. Now weve got the entire country as our backyard. Reporter theyre giving up this childhood eden to get rid of the mortgage, the car payments and breathe. What time is it, daddy . Reporter dan and Susie Kellogg plan to live full time in this rv. With enough kids to field a football team. Carrie. Brody. Kylie. Mattie. Thats 11. Dan thought our family was complete. Then this little bench warmer, cody, was born last october. I think everybody already looks at us and says my gosh, 12 kids. How on earth do you cope . Living so close together. It could be like putting kittens in a sack. Reporter how do you handle the chaos of 14 kids and adults on the road . We do try to lead and not bar bark. Reporter to ease overcrowding, kids camp outside when they can. Cutting Edge Technology make this is pioneer lifestyle possible. Dan doesnt need an office to be a software engineer. The internet links them to the necessities of everyday life. This is the kind of family that would have been first in line on the oregon trail. They would have fit right in with those folks in covered wagons. The ankkelloggs set off for the same reason as pioneers, freedom from ordinary lives. This is what freedom is when you go after it. Reporter we do not always travel words of wisdom. Say them and rewrite them. Reporter kelloggs home school their kids each morning. Afternoons are set aside for exploring. How am i going to get down . I want them to live life in the moment and not living for tomorrow. Every single day is a weekend. Reporter such freedom is tough. To survive will take grit and a pioneers optimism. There are times where its hard, of course. Life is hard. If you have faith and you just keep forging ahead, it works out always, always. Reporter at first their oldest daughter, carrie, wasnt on board zblie thought going in an rv wasnt normal and it was weird. Reporter but she quickly realized. We could do anything we want now, anything, and nothing is holding us back. Reporter the 19yearold passed up college to start her own company, creating art for clients on the internet. All but the youngest kellogg kids have a job to do. If it doesnt get done, we dont get going. I really want our family to stay this close forever. Reporter even when life twists and turns and pulls them apart. I have no clue how this is all going to work out. Reporter but susie and dan dont dwell on the uncertainty ahead, just possibilities. They are teaching their kids the glorious feeling of starting every day new. Yeah. What an adventure, an education. But only one bathroom on that rv, right, bob . I learned that the hard way. Were all thinking it. Thanks so much. Great story. The art of making perfect nachos for your super bowl party. No naked chips. First this is today on nbc. This morning on todays kitchen, were giving you some help with your super bowl spread. Were talking about stepbystep information that could help you build the perfect nacho. How do we make sure that every chip is treated with tender loving care . Our nacho guru, Adam Rappaport is here to tell us. First of all, i was told we were going to be doing this outside in new orleans. My people lied to me. How do you make sure you dont get the dreaded naked chip . First of all, think of it this way. Were not making nachos. Were building nacho. You start with a good sheet tray. You need the sides. You dont want cheese oozing everywhere. You need the good chips. You need to support everything thats going on there. Start layer of chips. Cheese, meat, beans. Can we stop . Oh, boy. Cheese. Never, ever the stuff thats the liquid goop. If you have to pump it, you dont want it. Thats not cheese. We like a mix of sharp cheddar and monterey jack. Yes. Use a lot. When it bakes it sort of cooks down. Its like a bag of spinach. Where did it all go . Be generous. Be liberal with it. A lot of cheese. If you want meat, we love pulled pork. We have a great recipe on bon appetit. Com. You sort of sprinkle that on as well. Is there going to be another layer on top of this . There will be three to four layers. Come on, matt. Last you all four quarters. Black beans, canned is fine. Rinse them before you put them on. To reduce the soginess . Yes. First of all, nachos are a personal experience. Beyond the cheese its kind of up to you. All right. Another layer. Youre going to layer them and layer them. As i said, go for it. Get on that cheese. My pork is frozen over here. Yes, natalie. Theres the all the cold stuff goes on after it comes out of the oven. When youre done layering, you have a mountain of nachos. That is a mountain of nachos. You want ten pounds. This will feed an army. How long will you have to cook that to make sure they get done all the way through . 20, 30 minutes, around 350 degrees. You dont want to scorch them. You want them to cook through. You want that nice, melty, molten mound of nachos. When the cheese is melted . Theyre done. Magic of television, weve got our nachos. Here they come. Nice. You want them hot. Be careful with the tray. The tray will be hot, obviously. Thank you. I put radishes on nachos. Al, come on. No. You have avocado, radishes, salsa. Youre missing my favorite nacho topping. Which is what . Taco sauce . Sour cream. There you go. Some people like im an avocado guy. You have nice crispness with the radishes. You can put fresh cilantro on there. No technique. No. And you can kind of, you know there you go. Were just going to eat . Dig in there. Thats the point. Get them while theyre hot. Have a big tray. People can customize their own. Adam nacho rappaport. Were back after this. Hot out of the oven. Were back after. 8 56 is your time on monday, january 28, 2013. Good morning to you. We continue tracking the impact this winter storm is having on our area. We received more than 300 school and government closings and delays. Things continue to run smoothly at local airports. We just checked. There are no reports of major delays at reagan national, dulles or marshall. Amtrak is reporting no major delays at union station. Lets check in with tom kierein. Most roadways, treated surfaces are wet. We have had steady rain falling for the last several hours into air thats at or below freezing. The areas in pink. North and west of washington with. Thats where we are getting icing on elevated surfaces. That will continue for another couple of hours. Then warming up this afternoon. Much warmer tomorrow and on wednesday. Tom, thanks. Slow westbound at the belt way. Back now with more of today on this monday morning, the 28th day of january, 2013. Weather outside for the folks right now okay. But some rain on its way. Im willie geist along with Natalie Morales, al roker and tamron hall. We want to get straight to todays take three. From friend to foes. If you were watching 60 minutes last night you saw the interview of president obama and secretary of state clinton. They talked about the evolution of their relationship from rivals five years ago during the president ial campaign to friends and colleagues now. When hillary joined the administration i felt very confident and comfortable in our working relationship. I think what did evolve was a friendship as opposed to just a professional relationship. Friendships involve a sense of trust and being in the fox hole together. President obama was asked by steve croft, who did the interview, why . Why did you request this interview . And he said frachingly i just want to thank her for her service and i am going to miss her. Some people wonder if Something Else is at work, especially followers of Vice President biden. You could hear him in the back knocking on the door. Let me in. You might think that Vice President joe biden might be interested in a little bit. He might be . He ran across pennsylvania avenue to say hello to al. Got the roker vote. If that doesnt say 2016 i dont know what does. That might have torpedoed the campaign. No, no, no. But some saw this as a vast endorsement of Hillary Clinton. I was looking at the body language a lot, rather than the words. They leaned in together. Having been on air with coanchors, you can tell if people like each other and they were both leaning in like ive got your back and ill be voting for you. They have a very warm friendship now. I think it is revealing, looking at the body language. As chuck todd pointed out earlier, that picture kind of, certainly, is something that the picture says more than sometimes the words. Also i love the fact that they revealed the tough campaign in 2008 was harder on their spouses which then made me want to see Michelle Obama and bill clinton. In the same room. I love that. A lot of people surprised when he tapped her to be secretary of state given the nature of that campaign. Hillary talked last night about the decision to accept that job. If the roles had been reversed and i had ended up winning, i would have desperately wanted him to be in my cabinet. So if im saying i would have wanted him to say yes to me, how am i going to justify saying no to my president . And it was a great decision, despite my hesitancy about it. She says she couldnt say no. Just to take you back, and remember how far weve come oh, boy. To have the two of them seated next to each other, talking cordially, whether you buy it or not, this was almost five years ago during the campaign in ohio. Shame on you, barack obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public. Thats what i expect from you. Wow up to last night, sitting together. And one of the debates when he said hillary is likeable enough. Do you remember that famous line . Said it right to her. Thats right. Its great when rivals can go to mending their fences and be good friends. Bitter rivals. And the discourse up higher, to a higher level. 3 00 am calls. Ironically. Take two, new meaning to selling yourself. Weve all prepared a resume, trying to get a job. In a tough economy, people have to get a little bit creative to sell themselves. Here is how one guy did it. He is from paris, a web product manager. He built an online resume. It looks like a page from amazon. Com except he is selling himself. His product dimensions as 186 ceimeters, very important there. This item available for shipping anywhere in the world. Only one left in stock, order soon. What if you have to return it . Well nice. Good question. You cant even keep the receipt on this one. Average Customer Review apparently is five stars. You have to make yourself stand out. You have to be creative. Web stiern so extra bonus points for creativity on that one. First looking for a job out of college and they would tell you to put your resume in a pizza box, all these catchy things to do. Did you do that . Of course i didnt. Sent out about 100 resumes. Have to do something with this pizza. I didnt have the money to send out that many pizza boxes. This ones going to santa fe. You paid for it. Roadway. You recovered well. Maybe something to think about. There you go. Our take three, we absolutely love this story. New york times has a whole wedding section. They do wedding announcements and one particular one jumped out at us and a lot of people. 97yearold ada lori bryant and 86yearold Robert Mitchell hair married this weekend. Its an incredible, beautiful love story. They both lost their spouse, widow and widower. 97yearold bride points out she will be keeping her name. They dont look anything near their age. I know. They look great. They look amazing. She turned him originally down, his original proposal. She thought he was ten years older and maybe he should go for a younger shes a cougar. She wanted to give him a chance to find a younger woman. Ive never been married. Shes 97. Can you find love at any age, tamron. Ive found plenty of love. Its the husband. Thats more than we need to know. We could have stopped ten seconds before how about sending out a pizza box . Look at her amazon page. Im out of pizza boxes. Getting worse. Whats wrong with you . Can i read the sweetest part of this . Please. Yes, please. Lets get you away from this, tamron. Mr. Hair, a hobbyist poet slipped a sonnet vowing friendship and affection under her door at the Retirement Community where they both live. He was afraid to give it to her in person.

With a collection of mega hits it was easy to understand why Whitney Houston was the most honored female artist of all time. Its been almost a year since her death. Her mother, Cissy Houston, has written a book remembering whitney my love, loss and you say people say all the time whitney died before her time. You say not necessarily so. Not necessarily so is right. Gods time is not our time. His ways are not our ways. He knows what hes doing. Talk about knowing what somebody is doing, you write that you never really understood how whitney fell into this life of drugs. And you think about what could you have done. And i think any parent can put themselves in your place. What would you have done differently . Could you have saved her . Do you think about that . Well, i think every mother that loses children, as someone does. I dont know if i could have or not. I tried, you just wasnt in the, i guess. Did you think were you hopeful that she could be saved or of course. Was there something in the back of your mind . I miss my daughter now. I would give anything to have her back right now. You talk about in the book, you didnt realize how deep the drug addiction went, that this goes back into no, i didnt. You know, your kids stay away from you when theyre doing wrong or if you would disagree with them. She wasnt any different than anyone. She was a loving, giving person who didnt like confusion and all that. When people ruled her or said you know, things like that early on, they called her whitey and names like that. It disturbed her. Bobby brown, a lot of people pointed the finger at bobby brown about this, but you dont necessarily do that . Well, i could point my finger, but. What did you think of him . I dont even think of him. I think youre responsible for yourself. And thats what i do. Im responsible for what i do. But do you think he helped her or hurt her . No. I think he did hurt her in a lot of ways. How . How . Just feelings. She was in love, i guess. She said she was. And its the way he treat people, you know. You talk about love. You write in the book, you say in your darkest moments you wonder if whitney really loved you. I knew my tower loved me. You know, we sit and think of all kinds of things. We were very close. We didnt see each other that often. But thats what happened. She was on the road all the time and i was home. So you talk about home. You provided her a good, stable home life. Even though a lot of people thought she grew up on the streets or the projects. And thats nothing further from the truth. Further from the truth, absolutely. She went to catholic school. Yes, she did. All my children went there. What was she like as a little girl . Huh . What was she like as a little girl . She was a wonderful little girl, same as she was as an adult. She was a beautiful child. She was bright, very bright. She liked people. She was giving and loving and just didnt like confusion. She turned away from that as much as she could. You believe thats what led to her drug use . I really do. Things wouldnt work for her, in her marriage thats what she really wanted. My husband and i had a solid, great marriage for years and years and years. And when it was over, it was over. But thats what happens. Didnt last forever. When you started to hear her voice go due to the drug use and the abuse, what were you thinking . Is it something you could say, something you could do to try to bring her back . I did and said everything that i could. Drugs people dont realize, thats the worst thing in the world that anybody can do, do to themselves or anybody can do to yo you. Thats a cautionary tale, maybe learned from this. I hope. Cissy houston, thank you so much. Thank you, al. Much. [ male announcer ] this one goes out to all the allergy muddlers.

The reason we had that early is because sarah is going to go outside in the snow. In the snow. Were starting something very exciting. We hope. I have my doubts. I do. Were doing a Spinning Wheel with games on it. Were going to get a couple of people who are just outside on the plaza. It may be one of them, but probably unlikely. Theyre going to spin a wheel and play a game with us during the last two minutes of the show, and its going to be fun. Its going to be a different game every day. Depending on who we pick. Were excited, and we cant wait to see who comes in. Okay. Super bowl is coming. It is. That means commercials are coming. And theyre, what, 4 million for a 30second spot. Is it . I think thats what it said. What it said. Heres the thing, what the smart people in advertising are doing . Theyre releasing commercials early, as you know, so we are online basically. Online or they get played in places like our show. Now, in one case a commercial is doing something with three different endings, and theyre letting you can you vote. The viewers c decide. Anyway, heres something. For an audi. Yeah, audi. Look at you. So dashing. Come on. Nowadays lots of people go by themselves. No, they dont. Yeah. Hey, son. Have fun tonight. Oh, thats cute. Yeah. Cute. Whats that . The prom picture of his mom and dad. Is that a prom picture of his mom and dad . I think its him. His mom and dad with doups like that. Thats our favorite, apparently. So you can go online and vote. That is our funny, i dont remember that moment. Its cute. It was cute. I like that idea. I thought he was going to come on to a girl and she wasnt going to go out with him until she saw that it was an audi and go, oh, in that case. Then you dont want her, do you . He doesnt want her for anything other than just the evening anyway, hoda. Hes 17. You know his frontal lobby will not even be finished until he is about 24. Thats sad. Heres something thats creepy. This is that marriage one. Remember this one . There is a girl out there who we want to know if you think this is okay. She doesnt have a boy fwrend or even a prospect of who she may marry, but shes decided plan her entire wedding now so that way it takes the headache often of it when it actually comes to fruition at the end. At least a decade before she meets someone. She has printed pictures of hairstyles, flower arrangements, rings, even looked up locations and found weird. Found a wedding planner. If you dont have a guy in mind, why are you planning . I just think i first of all, are you the same person you were a month ago much less five years ago . No. Yeah. Its an exercise in futility. Its very, very it reeks of desperation and its sad. She should go work in a Homeless Center or something and be with people that have real problems. Right. And stop picking out your flowers. She might meet a potential husband. You know what, get out of herself, and she will probably meet somebody. Thats a selfish selfabsorbed shes a lovely human being if we would meet her.

Have you many hats, dont you . We have two minutes per recipe. What are we making . Were doing an easy roast chicken. Its very efficient, and you have a lot of leftovers. What were going to do is pull back the skin because creeps me out a little bit. Embrace it, right . Were putting a little lemon rind, a little rosemary, fresh rosemary. A little garlic. A little fresh garlic there. A little salt and pepper. Smush it in there, and then finally were going to finish the little drizzle of olive oil. Just a tad. Like what you do with the turkey. That took you all of 15 seconds. Exactly. The thing is you want to get all that seasonings underneath the skin because thats what helps it stay extra juicy. You put it in a bag . Were going to marinate it in a zip lock baggie. Are you putting anything with it . You can put extra olive oil or lemon juice if you have it. Pop it in the frig for about half an hour. A couple of hours if you have the time, but most of us dont have a lot of time. What are we going to do . Youre going to pop it in the oven. What temp . 350 . No, no. Get your numbers right. What . To give it that crispy brown you need 450 to start. Really high heat. Do you cover it, debra . I dont. I do it just plain 450 to start for 20 minutes. Then youre going to take it down a notch to 400 and finish it off for another 20 minutes. Look how good this looks . Look whats happening. Wear going to pair that with familyfriendly roasted vegetables because, you know, its wintertime. We hear about parsnips and turnips and exotic roots. Instead you have broccoli, carrots and red roasted potato with olive oil rosemary. That broccoli is rocking. My 2yearold loves it. My kids love it. Kids will eat their vegetable ifs you do it that way. You can finish it off with a little lemon juice to cut that thats delicious. That is awesome. Kind of brightens it up. You never talked about the sauce that you cooked it in. You can do a couple of different kinds of marinades. We could do a terriyaki or jamaican jerk. Thats a part of the way you get a lot of different flavor varieties for your leftovers. Try this potato. One of the things can you do with your leftovers is do chicken pita pockets. Cut our whole wheat pita pockets. You can use sliced rosemary chicken. Have you lettuce. Theres a lot of color.
