injury. >> after a freak landing versus duke, the reaction on the court was immediate. teammates falling to their knees. tears from fans and from head coach rick pitino. >> i don't know that in basketball i've ever seen one like that. joe these tweeted my heart goes out to him. >> i told him he will be fine. he chanted just win the game. just win the game. >> the cardinals did just that. overwhelming duke en route to a 22-point victory and holding his jersey during a subdued post-game celebration. the coach talked about what his injury meant to the team. >> we had to gather ourselves. we couldn't lose this game for him. we just couldn't.

>> overnight, he underwent two hours of successful surgery, repairing a broken bone, a rod inserted in to his leg. his basketball future uncertain. >> right now it looks like the worst of times but if anyone can bounce back i would put my money on kevin. >> look at the love for this fallen teammate. he hopes to join the team in atlanta in the where the final four moves. ware is from atlanta and would be nice homecoming to get back. >> i had just left the room and my son came to the kitchen. he is 11-year-old sports nut and he was visibly shaken, tears in his eyes and said he never seen anything like it. >> it took a couple of moments. i remember the moment i saul saw and realized what i seen. all let out a collective gasp because it is so terrible. >> first indication was from the duke player who made the shot. they showed a shot of him and he

was grabbing his chest and i thought he was injured and realized it was ware on the ground. obviously places like you tube. if you are faint of heart this is not the thing you should be watching today. we want you to be warned about that. we have information on the manhunt for a kill who are gunned down a district attorney and his wife in their texas home. is that crime connected to the murder of his top assistant recently? gabe gutierrez is in kaufman, texas this morning. gabe, good morning to you. there is stepped up security today here at the courthouse. the entire community is on high alert. today, local police and the fbi are frantically trying to solve a murder mystery. >> unnerving to the law enforcement community. >> reporter: on saturday, police found the bodies of kaufman

county d.a. mike mclel land and his wife cynthia. mclelland shot multiple times and his wife shot once. >> they were deeply, deeply in love and so attached to each other. >> reporter: the murders are two months after the county's assistant prosecutor was gunned down on his way to work at the courthouse. authorities are looking for a link between the crime. right after the shooting in january, mcleelland spoke directly to the killer. >> i hope the people who did this are watching we are confident we will find you. >> investigators had been looking in to whether the assistant d.a.'s murder was connected to the killing of tom clements. a suspect in that case killed in a police shootout in north texas was part of a white supremacist group. months before the texas

department of public safety warned the aryan brotherhood of texas was planning retaliation against law enforcement officials, but so far federal authorities say pete williams says they haven't found any solid connection among the murders. >> everyone is walking on eggs. afraid to go to the public, especially the courthouse. >> reporter: a courthouse that had never seen prayers quite like this on easter sunday. county officials just told reporters they plan to contact the governor today who under state law must appoint a new district attorney. >> gabe, thank you very much. another big story we covering this morning the escalating tensions between north korea and the rest of the world. the u.s. is sending stealth fighter jets to take part in military exercises there. richard is in seoul. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt.

most people here in seoul think the north is bluffing. if it is, it is playing a dangerous game of brinksmanship. on state tv in north korea, the only option there it looks like the country is at war. or gears up for one. constant imanls of the army bombarding south korea. north korea's absolute leader kim jong un has put his missiles at the ready, called his nuclear weapons the nation's life and appeared in front of a map labelled plans to attack the american mainland. the united states is taking it seriously. it's annual military drills with south korea are now far more tense. the u.s. last week flew b-2 stealth bombers over south korea and b-52s, capable of carrying american nuclears.

that apparently really upset the north koreans who put out animations of the planes being shot down and unleashing nuclear disaster. but in the capital seoul you would never know any of this. the mood is relaxed, even blase. >> inside i think we want it over because we don't want war. >> reporter: while south koreans take it in stride, there's a risk of a miscalculation. if the north fired missiles at the south it would take a few minutes for the south to see them and fire back. now the north has cut off its emergency military communications, those red phones between the two leaders have been unplugged so an escalation could be hard to contain. analysts say kim jong-un is trying to solidify his leadership at home by manufacturing a crisis so he can look like a hero ito his people.

>> thank you very much. this morning, weather is being blamed for a deadly pileup in virginia. natalie is here with details. good morning, everyone. three people are dead this morning in virginia after the massive pileup on easter sunday involving nearly 100 cars. >> you could just hear all of the cars hitting one after the other. >> reporter: authorities are blaming thick fog on the initial crash that set off a domino affect of a dozen other crashes on easter sunday on the brder of virginia and north carolina, resulting in a massive pileup of nearly 100 vehicles. the wreckage, crumpled cars and tractor-trailers toppled on their sides was scattered along interstate 77, stopping traffic for hours. >> all of a sudden the ups truck came alongside us and sideswiped our car. >> reporter: police say the crash killed at least three people and sent 25 others to

hospitals in two states. the area is known for fog banks and accidents, despite signs warning drivers of the danger. >> it's up to the driver behind the wheel ito take responsibility and adjust his speed to the conditions. >> right here, the honda. >> reporter: some trucks veered to a ramp to avoid being part of the pileup. >> to think we missed it by seconds. this truck ramp saved our lives. this is unbelievable. this beats any movie i could have imagined in my entire life. now the rest of your headlines. a california man is in custody after officials say he intentionally plowed his car in to a wal-mart and began to attack shoppers with a blunt object. the vehicle made it 10 to 20 feet in the store on sunday m n morn. four people were injured. one seriously. officials believe all three people on board an alaska state trooper helicopter have died in a crash. the chopper went down after

rescuing a snowmobiler. now head to wall street. courtney reagan is at the knock stock exchange. >> stocks beegan the first day of the second quarter with the dow and s&p 500 at record highs. it's widely believed that stocks will pull back after months of gains. separately exxon mobil is working to clean up ousands of barrels of oil in arkansas after a pipeline carrying crude oil ruptured. exxon mobil shut down the pipeline as soon as they learned of the leak and the pipeline carries oil from illinois to texas. >> thank you. well, it can be a tough call choosing between your pants and your dignity. watch what happens after danish golfer bails his ball out of a near miss with a water hazard. he walks back on the green, but you see he is missing something. he didn't want to wet his pants apparently, or didn't want his pants to get wet --

>> either way. >> what? >> he took them off. >> was it written that way or did you naess up. >> it's written that way. >> natalie, welcome back. >> not that we had to welcome you with that green room prank. >> nothing like a prank to welcome you on april fools. >> mr. roker is not here because he's on the road -- pardon me at the white house. good morning to you. >> reporter: that's right. the foggy white house, guys. it is 135th white house easter egg roll. we pan out and pull out and you can see how foggy it is here. the white house has clear skies overhead. but at reagan less than a tenth of a mile visibility. the theme this year be healthy, be active, be you. the largest public event at the white house. we have official easter bunny and mrs. bunny and the official easter egg. let's show you what we have going on right now.

cold air in the northeast. and the great lakes. we are looking at temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below average. warmer to the south and southwest. we are still talking about lake effect snow. cold winds coming across the lake. you can see the snows from the eastern great likes. snowfall amounts three to six inches from houghton, marquette, cadillac, oswego, new york over the next 72 hours. the local forecast in a moment but first this message.

and making news for the age of the accused. two boys just 10 and 11 years old now ordered to stand trial. kristin dahlgren has details on that. good morning. >> reporter: a prosecutor said it well when he called it mind boggling. court documents included a handwritten note with seven steps to commit mass murder. in washington state if you are under 12 it is preassumed that you are not capable of committing a crime but in this case the judge thought the should stand trial. in court the testimony was chilling. >> i asked are you going to do this? were you really going to kill her and he said yes, he was. >> two boys 10 and 11, so young we can't show their faces accused of bringing a knife and semiautomatic handgun to their elementary school in a lot to harm seven classmates.

>> step four we both run outside and kill her. >> the boys plan to isolate a girl who they told investigators was rude and made fun of them. prosecutors say one boy would hold the other while the other raped and stabbed her. they planned to lure six of her friends toward harm. >> it is mind boggling that you look at two essentially 10 and 11-year-old kids that in their minds they have these life problems they can't fix any other way other than killing people. >> the plan was foiled when a student saw the knife and turned them in to the teacher. >> he pulled out the gun and showed me and i was very shocked. i said is there anything else? and unzipped another pocket and they pulled out the clip. and i went -- >> reporter: they said the 11-year-old did not show emotion or remorse. in the end the judge ruled they knew right from wrong and should

face the justice system. >> we don't think of children as being capable of such things but these boys thought about it and were going to carry this out. >> reporter: it is important to note that both pleaded not guilty. their attorneys dekleined our offer comment. both are held on 100,000 bail and will be in court a week from today. >> thank you very much. . for the first time this morning, we are hearing from the young hiker who spent six days stranded on oregon's mount hood. >> i'm glad to be alive. mary owen is not only glad but lucky to be alive. the 23-year-old hiker went on what was supposed to be a day hike on mount hood but weather turned to whiteout conditions as she was about 1,000 feet from the summit. >> i couldn't really see anything. it was dark. that was where i got discome boblated and went down the wrong side of the mountain and funneled in to a canyon.

>> things went from bad to worse for owen after taking a 40-foot fall her first night on the mountain in the morning i looked at my leg and it was torn up and i couldn't lift it. >> reporter: the next four day while search teams covered the mountain from the ground and air, owen kept dry in a hallowed out tree. eating nutrition bars and using her wilderness skills to stay warm. >> nutrigrain bars make nice kindling so i put together a good fire. >> a rescue helicopter located owen. she was taken to the hospital where she is being treated for frostbite and leg injury. pretty amazing. >> hiking alone is hard. i'm not sure that is advisable but happy she se okay. coming up, it is hard to believe but it has been ten

years since the capture and jess c -- rescue of jessica lynch in iraq. and remember the adorable baby giraffe we met last week? she is finally getting a name thanks to you. we will reveal it live but first this is "today" on nbc.

it's super delicious! back now at 8:10, chris brown burst onto the music scene about eight years ago at the tender age of 16. he's gone on to sell millions of albums and win grammys and also made headlines for a lot of the wrong reasons. we'll talk to chris about that in a moment but first we have the premiere of the video fwor his new single. this one's called "fine china."

♪ it's all right, i'm not dangerous ♪ ♪ when you're mine, i'll be generous ♪ ♪ you are irreplaceable, a collectible ♪ ♪ just like fine china >> as i mentioned chris is joining us live in the studio. welcome back. >> good to see you too, man. >> i was reading about this album. this is "fine china." the album will come out sometime this summer. you wanted to take the quincy jones approach to this. i'm not exactly sure what that means. >> when we composed the album and put it together i wanted to put a lot of producers and a lot of writers in the same place and have like a camp, so there's a camaraderie and chemistry with everybody. it naturally flows easier in the studio like that, and everybody's energy, they can kind of be more creative. so i wanted to kind of take that approach. >> you're 23 years old. you came out with your first music when you were 16, you were discovered at 13 i think it was. >> yes. >> when you look at your music today versus the music you were putting out at 16 and 17 years

old, what's the biggest difference in it? >> the biggest difference i would say me being older now as far as when i first started the subject matter might have still been a little bit, you know in my age bracket. >> a little more immature? >> yeah. now my music is maturing, trials and tribulations, me as a young 23-year-old man. so i think that in a nutshell can sum it up for how mature the album can get there. >> you've been here several times over the last few years. the biggest difference i would tell our viewers, you are agreeing to sit down and talk about things that you haven't talked about over the last three years. >> yes. >> the incident in 2009 with rihanna, you were charged with a felony and convicted of a felony in that. >> absolutely. >> you've said in the interviews i've read over the last couple of days that you are a changed man. how are you different? >> for me i've been humbled by the whole experience from me losing everything, you know, to me having to regain public

opinion or whatever it is, but most importantly, you know, knowing that what i did was totally wrong, you know, and having to deal with myself and forgive myself in the same breath and you know, being able to apologize to rihanna and being able to be that man that can be a man. >> and yet you know there are cynics out there, there are skeptics out there who are going to say he's a changed man because he's out there selling a new album and image is important if he wants to sell that album. i was looking back over the last year, even the last several months there was the fight with frank ocean. there was the fight with drake. i looked at instagram pictures you posted in december, they weren't the most wholesome pictures. you understand where people might say i'm not sure he's changed yet. i'm going to wait and see. let's see what he's like six months after this album comes out. >> i mean, i think everybody's entitled to their opinion. for me it's just a learning process. i have to take it one day at a time. i can't make everybody like me. i think for my album and what i'm promoting about the single

is about me being positive and everything i'm doing is hopefully to inspire people, to inspire the world that hopefully have been in my situation or even anybody that's trying to learn from it. >> i was reading headlines over the weekend online that said you were either off with rihanna or still on with rihanna. first of all, clear it up for me, what is the status? >> absolutely. we're fine. i think in the actual interview that they tried to depict that, they missed, they got it wrong. i think they interviewed for me "o" interview that was a year prior. >> so you're together as a couple right now? >> yes, everything is fine. >> you know when that was announced the reaction was strong from a lot of people. >> as always, that's old news. >> but there were strong emotions. a lot of people worried, i think, about her and the choices she was making, and they thought this is going to end baddy. how do you respond to that? >> well, i think it's just me proving myself once again and also me being a man and knowing that what i did was wrong and

never doing it again. so as far as me and her are concerned, she knows my heart, and i know her heart. i'm not really focused on the negative. everything about it is positive for me. i did my 52 weeks of counseling and learned that it was absolutely wrong, you know, and -- >> did you go through therapy? or was it just counseling? >> it was counseling, domestic violence counseling, 52-week program every monday in virginia. i remember going and just sitting in there and just like why did i do what i did? and really wanted to just get help. >> are you sure it will never happen again. >> absolutely. >> here's what rihanna said "i thought i hated chris and i realized it was love that was tarnished. it looked like hate because it was ugly, it was angry, it was inflamed, it was tainted. i realized that what it was is i have to forgive him because i cared about him still and the minute i let go of that i started living again." you understand that if you behave badly again, you're going to damage not only your relationship but her reputation as well. >> absolutely. absolutely.

so that's why i'm moving forward, positive. >> people in this country it seems love to build someone up. >> and bring them down. >> they enjoy standing on the sidelines and watching if someone goes down -- >> it's america. >> but it's also been said people like comeback stories. >> absolutely. >> do you think the people who have been your harshest critics have it in their hearts to give you a chance at a comeback? >> for me it's about proving myself to my fans and my fans have been the number one support for me. so i think the naysayers are going to have their opinions. anything i do, whether it be walking down the street, i might say something to somebody. it's not going to be always, "chris is the greatest." so i'm not going to focus my life on pleasing those people. only thing i can do is please my family, please myself, and please her, and my fans. >> chris, thank you. >> you're my man, thank you, brother. >> check out chris's new video in its entirety on today.com. it will be up there this morning.

>> matt, thank you very much. we have a new series all about getting closer to the people around you, parents and adult kids, calling it "on the brink." susan and her son christopher endured nearly four painful years without any communication. they shared their story in their own words. >> the relationship changed when christopher was about 18 or 19 years old. his dad and i had very different parenting styles. i tried to set parameters and set rules, and that very much annoyed my son, and at the same time he was trying to exert his independence and find his way, as many young people do, in life, and that caused a lot of friction in our relationship. there was a disagreement on behavior. he and i had a big falling out over it. >> at this one point in time, she wasn't there to help me in the situation that i needed her.

>> that's where the communication totally stopped. >> i really felt like this is just how normal relationships work, that's what i thought, it was just everyone has this little breakup. >> it was about 3 1/2 years that he did not speak to me, and not having communication with my son or seeing him was probably the most painful thing i have ever experienced. >> probably a year after we stopped talking to each other, i felt like empty almost. >> i did make a real point of sending cards and gifts for holidays, with even small notes on them. i sent him a text message, and i will say, to my wonderful surprise, he responded back fairly quickly, and wrote, "i love you. i miss you. i'm so sorry for everything that happened between us."

as you can imagine, that was very emotional. >> i tried to not be there for her, and that made me feel really bad, and now i feel like it's not an opportune time but a time nonetheless to try and reconcile things. >> reconnection, like any relationship, rebuilding, it's definitely a work in progress. i don't have any false expectations. i'm very cautious. we're finding our new normal. >> let's get some advice from joshua coleman, psychologist of "when parents hurt: compassionate strategies when you and your grown child don't get along." good morning to you, doctor. good to have you here. that seems dramatic to me. four years without speaking to one another. how common is it for parents and adult children to have that kind of a rift? >> it's sadly very common. i work with parents in my practice who have had

estrangements for ten years, permanent estrangements. i think it's a silent epidemic. it's a silent epidemic because parents feel ashamed and humiliated and the kids as well they don't want to talk about it either. nobody wants to admit it. it's a huge problem in our culture. >> what is the root cause? we saw there a divorce was the catalyst in that situation. do you find that commonly? >> divorce is the single most common cause i see. there's a number of reasons for that. one is that when parents get divorced, the kids may see the parents as being winners and losers, somebody got hurt more, somebody got left, highly individualistic culture. divorce can make children see their parents more as individuals with the relative strengths and weaknesses rather than the family unit of which they're a part. it can open the door for parental alienation where one parent can negatively influence the child against the other parent, cause them to hate the other parent, feel contemptius of them.

it can bring in stepchildren who compete with the child for resources. so divorce is a very common cause of estrangement. >> let's get right to your tips. the first tip is, for the parent, accept responsibility. do you mean take the blame? >> i wouldn't say take the blame but if your child has been estranged from you there's something wrong there and they're very upset about so you have to start from the perspective of trying to understand and making yourself vulnerable and showing that you care about it. typically in our children's complaints there's a kernel of truth, just like in our relationships, there's a kernel of truth so you want to go to that. >> the second tip is don't defend yourself, which i think is a corollary to the first bit. do you mean, don't relitigate or relive the old fights, try to move forward? >> yes. it's about your kid, it's not about you. if you defend yourself, you get into the right and wrong it's going to escalate. good principle to remember is there's separate realities in every family. you could be a good parent and feel like you did everything right, and your kid could feel

like you missed something important about them. you were too preoccupied, too focused on your new marriage or partner or other things. >> you say empathize and understand and don't give up. we have ten seconds but you think parents should keep at it even if there's estrangement that goes on for years. >> some parents should unless you get restraining orders or kids sending back gifts then i don't think you should. >> dr. joshua coleman, great to have your perspective. thank you. >> thanks for having me. tomorrow how to cope when you become estranged from your siblings. it's april fool's day when people like to bring out their inner jokester. there are some things you consider. we've been having fun with people around here this morning. illusionist rich ferguson disguised himself as a chair in our green room and kind of caught some people by surprise. good morning, nice to see you. pranks are fun. pranks can also cross a line. what is the definition of a good prank? >> a good prank is definitely something that's creative, leaves people wanting to do it to someone else versus wanting to sue you.

>> or punch you, as i almost did. >> or shove me down the stairs, shouldn't be assaulting someone or destructing someone's property. >> shouldn't embarrass someone to the point where they're angry afterward. >> not to that degree, but maybe if you've got to get back at someone. >> i got a little angry at you, rich. sorry. >> you want to do it to your friends, you want to see it be done. >> there was a whole mastery going on how they duped me into sitting on the chair. the executive producers told me sit on the chair, try it out. i do what i'm told. >> he welcomed her back from vacation and that was matt in the cushion there. >> no. that was not. thanks for your help, savannah. let's move on to some other pranks that people can do that are pretty harmless. >> this one is very harmless. basically toilet paper roll, and they pull and a spider comes running and the thing that's cool it's not just a spider stuck to a toilet seat. the illusion is it's going in motion because you're pulling the tie let paper roll.

it adds to your brain a lot. >> the image of someone running with their pants down around their ankles out of the bathroom is something you have to get hold of. >> this gets someone in a vulnerable position which you want to do in a prank. >> true. >> we like the way you think. okay, what's with the water? >> this is a great one at bars and parties. we have a straw in a cup. no big deal. people can drink out of it. you take another straw, you tie it in a knot and when your friend looks away, you swap out the straw and then you have fun the next five minutes watching them try to suck. >> helps if it's not a clear liquid. >> you wouldn't notice that in a million years, definitely not. >> okay and finally? >> this one's pretty fun because today is monday and it's an office day. a lot of people at work. thought we'd throw in a prank for the office. you take a paper clip, put it on the copy machine, leave it on the machine and take the paper you used, put it in the machine, orientate it, they assume they

made a copy with the paper clip, of course they do. then they remove the paper clip and do it again and again, and they're frustrated for the next ten minutes, and you're sitting over there laughing your butt off. >> you just wasted a lot of paper in our office here. >> did you have any friends as a kid? >> come on! >> no, these are cute, harmless and innocent. rich, thank you very much. still ahead, martha stewart's go to work week menu. after your local news. good morning to you. it is 8:26. i'm marla tellez. one moment he was fighting a fire. the next he was fighting for his

new parents are told to enjoy e new parents are always told to enjoy every moment because the time passes by so fast. the mother of three loves her kids, but she does not enjoy everything that goes into raising them. now glennon is out with her first book, "carry on. warrior thoughts on a life unarmed." good morning. great to see you.

the essay was called "do not carpe diem. . what was the message? >> mothering is the most important thing i do, but it's also a really difficult job. i don't know other difficult jobs where people are expected doing that job to enjoy every second of it. >> and not to acknowledge the difficulty. i used to worry not only was i failing to do a good enough job at parenting, but i wasn't enjoying it. double failure because i wasn't in parental he can ecstasy every moment of every day, and i wasn't making the most of every moment like the mamas in the parenting magazines seemed to be doing. you're talking about problems where older women come up, aren't these kids precious? aren't you enjoying this moment? when the kid is having a melttown in target. >> that's when it is. they're melting down, and you're trying to get through the time so fast, and someone says, isn't it going by so fast? no, it's not.

often with my kids, i can't even carpe 15 minutes in a row not much an entire diem. in our blog, we talk about grabbing a couple of great moments a day and calling that a success and not worrying about a great day. >> one of the reasons your blog has gotten a lot of attention is because you're so honest, not only about the travails of your own past. you write about being a bulimic, struggling with alcohol, and then you had a turning point. tell me about that. >> i think the turning point came when my addiction, just like any other hiding place, perfection, overworking, really is a hiding place. and hiding places aren't safe because we're wired to connect with each other. i think my turning point came when i just decided to come out into the world and say, here i am just the way i am, and tell people what it's really like to be me and come out of hiding. >> you write about a moment that you found out you were pregnant and unmarried, i take it, at the time. >> yes. >> and kind of faced with a decision about what to do.

>> that's right. i just tried to show up and do the next great thing. >> this is not a book about giving advice. you don't really believe in giving advice. >> i think that everyone really has the answers inside of her. she really just needs a safe place to think, think it through and whenever anyone does ask me parenting advice, which doesn't happen often since i don't offer it. i just try to change the parenting advice into advice about myself. if someone says, how do i help my daughter accept her body? i just it into how do i accept my body? if someone asks me how do i help my son become kinder? i think about how i become kinder and hope my children are watching me and there learn from my actions. >> you said when people are asking for advice you think they're asking just to be loved. >> absolutely.

if people are given enough time and space in a nonjudgmental space, they will find the answers themselves. >> you talked about your relationship, i know it's had its ups and downs and you've been very honest about that, too. how are you guys doing at this moment? >> we are doing really well. we're together. we are showing up for each other. we are taking it one day at a time. we're grabbing a couple great moments a day and we're doing it together. >> glennon doyle melton, thank you for being here. you have a distinct voice and it's great to have you here. the book is called "carry on, warrior." coming up next, ten things you should try in april. but first this is "today" on nbc.

trend we'll see on our model kaitlin. >> pastel colors are coming on strong. we love an aqua eye and a peachy lip, it's a really great look for spring. >> a fresh look. >> like the no makeup makeup look. >> i like that, something colorful for the hair? >> it's a great way to add a little color to your updo, these bright bobby pins from remington, they're $5 for a set and just a fun way to add a little vibe rance. >> two for $5. colorful sneaks. >> they're from the gap, a little commemoration for the gap, celebrating their launch in '69, so these are cvs, the laid back california style in an array of colors. limited edition, if you want them, go now. >> who does not love something free especially when talking about free ice cream. >> april 9th you can get a free ice cream cone at ben & jerry's from participating stores. >> set it on the calendar.

april 9th a great read. >> meg politzer, an interesting story about six friends and coming of age story but great read for now or into the summer. >> portable music, got to take it with you. >> these are super fun and great for your home or for your office, they're from ihome, blue tooth speakers. >> you can plug anything in them. >> exactly. >> easy to go. do-it-yourself kits. >> these are diy, you can subscribe and get a new kit once a month, everything from feather earrings to make your own beach tote but if you have the time. >> you have to have the time exactly. >> it's fun. >> brand new, designer, actually jewelry for all. >> this is such a cool idea, this is from shopbevel.com. designers have an online community that votes and

shopbevel will produce the winner of the contest. you get an original look which is really fun. >> bracelet is cool. >> not something everybody has. >> to the definer collaboration from target. >> this is super fun, so kate young, who is a hot celebrity stylist works with michelle williams and natalie portman, did a red carpet in time for prom and weddings and fun summer nights. this is a great dress for less than $60, her bag and her shoes are also from target, from the kate young collection but super fun and comes out april 14th. >> april 14th, okay, going to be a rush to target. >> exactly. >> april 22nd is earth day. >> exactly. >> great day to ride your bicyc bicycle. i love the color theme. yellow everywhere. >> you guys are doing a nice little setup there. >> exactly. >> what a great way to commemorate earth day, ride your bike to work or to the park. this bike is also from target, it's $129 from schwinn and it's

your families will love. >> martha stewart with the menu from digital everyday food. >> i just finished easter and now cooking for the entire week. >> we'll have a fairly small shopping list, you'll reuse a couple of items and starting out monday with roasted tomato pasta. >> eight pounds of delicious plum tomatoes, it will cost you about $15, sprinkle them with good olive oil, some thyme and salt and pepper. you can do that, put all the thyme and salt and pepper on and they roast at 475 for approximately 45 minutes and look how they look. that's enough for two whole meals for a family of six. >> what do you do with them after you roasted them? >> first you have this delicious shell pasta, any pasta will do, two cups of the roasted tomatoes and add that to olive oil and more garlic, saute that and here

you can stir around. i'll turn that down a little bit so you don't get splatted on your beautiful suit. >> all right. >> here you have your pasta already cooked, fresh basil, and those can get thrown right in here and sploshed around and here is what it looks like and garnish it with freshly grated parmesan cheese. >> start to finish a 20-minute meal. >> so easy. >> great. >> now this is for the meat of the week, and this is i think these pork tenderloins are delicious and also on special at the grocery store. ooh, you're standing there watching those burn. >> i'm working on it, martha. >> she's still traumatized from the april fool's joke. >> you love fennel. this is a bowl of fennel, people pass it up because they don't know what to do with it. slice it, ten garlic cloves and

one head of fennel, and put that in the oven at 475 for ten minutes. add your fillets of pork and put that back in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, and these come out looking so beautiful, and so tasty, and the first night you serve the roasted fennel and the pork and with a little bit of dill as a garnish, that is a delectable dinner. >> we're saving some of the pork? >> two of those for tacos later in the week. >> we'll tune in later for that. here's how we're going to use the rest of the tomatoes so onions and garlic and add your roasted tomatoes, cook those with two cups of water, add the coriander. >> you don't need to mush the tomatoes? >> they'll mush up.

some cumin and sugar. sugar is important, a half a teaspoon, no thet a lot and the coriander. >> spicy. >> here we have it already cooked and put it in your blender and you blend this and you have a spicy tomato soup that is so good, with toasted bread and a salad. you can add more, hamburger if you want or something, but that is, don't forget red hot. er in a grilled cheese sandwich. >> you have 12 ingredients so far and three meals which is pretty good. >> here is the fourth. this one gets a little bit more fancy because you have guacamole which i love making and avocados are one of the best foods. they're $1.59 and at some places five for $1, in season. make yourself fresh guacamole, white onion, san leandro to rci

and pepper, onion. make yourself a taco. this one is started, a piece of lime, cilantro and give two, maybe three to the hungry people in your family and you have again a delicious dinner. i think this is so nice. >> martha thank you so much. download the recipes and shopping list on today.com. just ahead martha's sticking around for today's take three. we have much more ahead but first your local news.

welcome to "today" on this monday morning, april 1st, 2013. yes, it is april fool's day, inside studio 1a, i'm willie geist along with natalie morales. al is down in washington at the white house for the big easter egg roll and sticking around for the ride is the great martha stewart. >> thank you. >> martha, what is easter like at your house? are there peeps? do we have all the things? >> all the accoutrements were at the house. >> grandkids? >> all the kids, lots of people, a sit-down lunch and so much food, but i baked and baked and baked and cooked and cooked and cooked. it was really nice and the weather held. we didn't have any rain. it started to spit rain at like 5:00 so everybody was gone by then. >> i would imagine at your house is a little bit like the white house. >> probably even nicer. >> oh! >> i was going to say that. she said it herself. let's ask about that, al is down

there for the white house easter egg roll. what would you take, the white house or martha stewart's house? >> for the cooking i'd have to go with martha's house. >> definitely. for the history, you can't -- i mean, this is a pretty good lawn. of course i've also got the presidents, the four presidents from the washington nationals here. don't you have opening day coming up? get going! get going! you got to get to the national stadium. look at this. they actually listened. i love that. it's great. the 135th white house easter egg roll. all kinds of stars are going to be here. i'm going to get to help the first lady and chef ann borrell do some cooking a little bit later. this is such great tradition. it started way back in the 1800 s on the grounds of the capitol and eventually moved here to the white house, and it's really one -- 30,000 folks will go through this before it's all over later this afternoon.

the easter eggs are wooden, it's a collector's set you can get online but they're these wooden eggs. they're really cool. they've got the president's signature and mrs. oem, and there's even one -- let me see if i can find it, that has beau the dog. here it is. everybody wants beau. pretty cool. >> i'm glad there's wooden eggs. i was worried somebody was spending that much time dyeing 20,000 eggs. >> they used to be real eggs but then i think during the bush years they came up with the wooden egg. >> how do you roll them, with your fingers or -- >> no, no, they have little spatulas, little spoons, these long, kind of basically kitchen spoons and off they go, and the kids are rolling them. andy, can you -- let me move this monitor for you, and i think you can see. there you go.

there they are. they keep going through, going through, going through. it will be a fabulous day. >> by the way i couldn't tell because of the puppet hands but i think abe lincoln just flipped you off behind you. >> yeah, you know, abe and i, it's going to be on. >> go ahead, al. get him back. >> we'll let you sort that out. we'll check on the waert in just a second. all right, al. thanks. let's get to our take two, this basketball injury yesterday everybody was talking about this morning, whether you're a fan of sports or not people glued to the final. louisville guard kevin ware, has had successful surgery on broken right leg, broke it in two places, recovering in indianapolis hospital where the game versus duke took place yesterday. horrifying doesn't do it justice. cbs sports spared us most of the replay. >> did you see the bone sticking

out? >> just for a moment. the bone came through the skin as coach rick pitino described later, he said the first time he saw it he almost reflectively vomited. apparently some of the players did and it was the reactions of the other players that blew me away, having watched sports their whole lives, they fell to their knees. >> seeing them crying. >> they won in his honor especially. >> the fact they sent him the trophy at the hospital bed there's a picture of him this morning with the trophy. >> like i say, i have not seen a reaction like that from teammates and opposing players. and coach mike krzyzewski's players were stunned, on the ground weeping. >> he just went for a typical jump and i don't know how he came down but i don't know if there was a fracture there already, perhaps a hairline fracture or something. >> it wasn't his day. >> no. >> nobody hit him, it just happened. >> he had the surgery. it will take about a year or so to recover. he'll probably red shirt and come back in a couple of years.

as martha said, louisville won the game, and they move on to the final four. take three, let's have fun with april fool's day, two truths and a lie, maybe you've played it before. each of us will say three things, the other two have to determine which -- >> usually there are drinks involved in this game, right? isn't this kind of boring take on it. >> natalie, let's start with you, and we'll try to figure out what's a lie? >> i made my television debut doing commercials. i sang bet midler's "the rose." and number three, i don't like spicy foods. >> you know her better than i do. >> we'll say i don't like spicy

foods. >> no. come on, have you heard me sing? >> that's what i was going to say. >> it was close. let me just remind you, do we have the tape? can we queue the tape? i'll embarrass myself. ♪ take me out to the ball game, take me out to the crowd ♪ >> wow. >> i was at the white house as well, they never invited me back after that. >> well, your lie was so elaborate i thought it had to be true. >> what's even worse, as matt pointed out at the time, i had to look down at the words. >> doubly terrible. let's go to martha's. >> okay, well now i am friends with snoop dogg. >> of course you are. >> i do yoga every day. and i am a terrible, mean boss. >> is this a trick question? >> number three is quite obviously a terrible lie. >> a terrible lie. >> you think so? >> i think so. >> defamatory. >> you're right. >> how did i know? >> we know how you and the snoop are tight. >> do you hang out a lot? >> yeah, right, i hang out with

>> glad to know that. shall we get to our news? >> let's do a few headlines. a manhunt is under way after the murder of a texas prosecutor and his wife. kaufman county district attorney mike mclelland and his wife cynthia were gunned down in their home saturday two months after one of his deputy prosecutors was murdered. police are checking on a possible link between that killing and the death of a colorado prison chief and threats from a white supremacist group, but so far, there is no solid connection. new tension this morning on the korean peninsula, the u.s. is moving stealth fighter jets from japan to south korea for a joint exercise with seoul, this after north korea announced they plan to move forward with building nuclear weapons. the south declared that it will strike back quickly if the north attacks them. three people are dead and more than 20 injured in the 95-car pile-up chain reaction crash. police say it started with one multicar crash in foggy

here. why is it important to get our youth moving around and showing them it's okay to be active? >> it's very important especially with our young generation to get those kids used to eating healthy, being more active and getting outside of the house and just being active is really helpful in their daily life. >> nothing wrong with a video game or two but a real game is the thing that keeps you healthy and moving. >> exactly, and so i feel like it's very important with the first lady doing with the let's move initiative to get kids, you know, more aware and adults more aware, because i remember when i was 13, 14, i wasn't inside playing on my console, i was moving around. i can see now where it helped me. >> it worked out okay for you? >> pretty good. >> who do you have here? >> adrian jr., my little man. >> he's busy looking at the easter bunny and nelson over here. >> nelson jr., my little brother's. >> adrian pet

making financial decisions, as "market watch" reported last week, sometimes they're making decisions with that impairment. >> right, what we know is as we get older we lose our ability to make good financial decisions, but we get more confident in our ability to make financial decisions, so we're more confident about making what turns out often to be bad decisions. >> you say there's research that shows, even if your parent doesn't have dementia or some other inability, you say that their financial smarts pale as they do age. >> that's right, this is one of the things that we know goes first. so it's very important that you're looking, not just listening, but you're looking for the signs that things are starting to go awry. >> let's talk about some of the signs. what are some things that you can observe in how they're handling things. >> you want to look at how bill payment is being handled so when you go into the house or a neighbor goes into the house and sees piles of unopened bills or unopened mail, that's a trouble sign. also, if you're with them in a restaurant and they seem to

think they have more cash than they actually do, or getting forgetful about that, it's a sign, again, that they're not paying attention but also they might not be able to get to the bank or get to the atm. >> or maybe they want to you pay. >> that could be it as well, very crafty. >> exactly. and then are there other signs as well? you said you start noticing creditors calling them? >> if you get a look at the phone bill and notice that creditors have been calling or check out the caller i.d. on their phone, you can sometimes get a sense that that's been happening, another sign, and finally if they start to be more intense about purchasing expensive things, taking up an expensive hobby, you notice the house is filling up with stuff, memory loss or impaired judgment could be taking place. >> here is the trick, because this is sort of like taking the keys away from your parents. how do you, you know, handle that conversation with them? >> it's better off to have a conversation when things are fine. if you're watching and things

with your parents are fine although they're getting a little bit older, ask them how they'd like you to proceed if they start to seem to lose their judgment about these things. otherwise, sit down with your parents and perhaps with a third party and have a discussion. fidelity recently released a survey that said both parents and adult kids are more comfortable talking when there's a financial adviser in the room. so think about that. if you're operating from a distance, online banking can be a godsend. you get access, they get access so they don't feel like you're swooping in and taking complete control but everybody can see what's going on. if your parents are running out of resources, you can see that as well. >> that sort of power of attorney or not. >> that's not but power of attorney is really key because if your parents become fully incapacitated, you can start to take control, which is really, really important, and if you've got siblings, try to keep everybody in the loop so that nobody gets offended. >> jean chatzky, great information and advice. thanks so much. >> sure. still to come, spring and summer fashions for the man in

he throws down his fork and goes what, you want a bite? oh, sure i want a bite. come on, but i don't skae. i don't think it's good to ask. >> will you ever plate swap, you and chris you get a meal, you each eat half and switch plates at a restaurant? >> you order what you order. i think it's -- i'm not a plate swapper. are you a plate swapper? >> we do that sometimes. >> great equalizer with this, too, is french fries. communal food. it's a free-for-all. >> french fries always communal? >> dipping. >> that's incorrect you're reaching at least with silverware fencing you have a fork. >> you want one? >> not of yours. >> i'm reaching my dirty grubby hands god knows into your din per. >> don't double dip, nasty. >> we've got, asked for a little help on this one, the topic is kids and cell phones, we have jessica fox-rothwell from temecula, california on the line. thanks for being up with us early. what is your question? >> good morning, my question is

answer to all your problems. >> i didn't know. i'm so bored in here, what's there to do? watch another "law & order" episode. i cleaned. i got rid of books. now my bedroom is clean. >> what's it like at 4:15 in the morning when you're getting up with him and he wants to go potty. >> i pick him up like a football and run down the hall and in the elevator. we have a long hall to get to the elevator. you go down 11 floors and then i let him out. i run him to the door and let him out. i thought he was finished, he came back in the lobby and did a poo-poo, he left a special message in the lobby. i made eye contact with the nice maintenance guy who cleans in the morning. and i felt terrible and i scooped it up and i put it in a bag and tied it. >> you did the right thing. >> i love this dog, kathie, he's the absolute best dog ever. in the beginning i wasn't sure if it was the right thing for me just because i thought oh my god, how am i going to do it.

i have to tell you, i'm going to figure it out, deal with the dog walker, he texted me, he's not crying. >> you're a good parent and he changes your heart until you don't want to do anything on saturday night. you want to be home with blake. >> i did not leave my apartment on saturday. i had a couple of friends who called and i said i'm busy. not really busy, but the first time i felt chilled out in my environment. my own apartment. i love this guy. >> are you ready for the update on cinnamon lee? >> yes, what happened. >> remember last week when you got your beautiful, it was goldfish at the time -- >> blake. >> not all of these things end up -- >> no, that's, that's cinnamon lee, who didn't quite work out the way i was hoping. and at his family's house. >> where is he? >> cinnamon lee, that was when my friend karen was trying to bond with him. >> it didn't work out. her nieces or her daughter, you can see. didn't work out at all. >> so what happened. >> so cinnamon lee is now

cinnamon lee gifford. >> you adopted cinnamon lee, too. >> april fool's. >> gotcha. >> i hate april fool's jokes. wait, did you or didn't you. >> no, he's so happy with our friends. his name is cinnamon lee mcsullivan and he's so happy out on long island. >> i have a question about april fool's jokes. i always feel awful after them. i feel like oh, aren't i an amazing actress? come on, somebody hire me, please. >> yes, you are. >> we should point out there were other dogs we had on the show, cinnamon lee got adopted very quickly. so did orla. that was one of the other dogs. >> i'm a little surprised by that. but happy. >> and bobbie sue. >> wow. >> bobbie sue was a real bow wow. >> not a real looker. >> honey boo-boo got bobbie sue. >> of the ten we started with, there are only three left.

>> i'm surprised. they were all sweet. this was my second choice. >> nutmeg. >> nutmeg. a 10-week-old male shihtzu. >> did you say that right? >> i think so. >> he loves to cuddle, he sits quietly on your lap. >> he had little shoes on. >> and then -- >> he's precious. >> and then 10-week-old baker. a male dachshund terrier, he loves to be held. he may take a little time to come out of his shell. you can translate that to whatever you want. >> and finally, 5-month-old scotland, a poodle-terrier mix. she's energetic and full of life. which means she's energetic and full of life. >> so come on, you guys, let's make it a, not a trifecta -- >> there's three left. >> a deca -- just 10 for 10. >> what's the latin word for ten?

>> let's make it a deca-fecta. yeah, you better run all the way back to princeton or wherever you went to school. >> all right. so there was an interesting event on the plaza today. out of nowhere popped a flash mob, and it was chris brown. >> a well-rehearsed flash mob. >> the 23-year-old and a whole bunch of people came out did a dance to a new song. >> they were great. >> he sat down, it was fun to watch. can we hear it. >> apparently not, that cost more money. >> just be grateful for what you have in life, hoda, okay? >> there's no audio. he sat down with matt to talk about some various things in his life. let's take a listen to that. >> knowing that what i did was totally wrong and having to kind of deal with myself and forgive myself in the same breath. you know being able to apologize to you know, rihanna and being able to be that man that can be

a man. >> so you're together as a couple? >> yeah, everything's good. >> a lot of people worry about her and the choices that she was making and they thought, this is going to end badly. how do you respond to that? >> i think it's just me proving myself once again and me being a man. and knowing that what i did was wrong and never doing it again. >> well i'm so happy to hear him say that. you can never get help until you realize, until you accept the fact that, accept responsibility for your actions and not blame it on other people. sounds like that's exactly what he needs to be doing. >> we'll see what happens. i think this is one of those things like show me, don't tell me. >> except he says that. he wants to prove it by the man he is. good for him. we wish him all the best. i hope he stays on this path. >> so if you guys were watching the ncaa tournament there was a moment in the game that was so horrifying i think for people to see who were watching it. a guy named kevin ware, a sophomore on the louisville

basketball team jumped up to block a shot, fell, went back down on his leg and his leg broke and these are just the reaction shots. because the actual accident itself was so horrific, his leg was broken and in fact six inches of bone was sticking out. it was really, really bad. and it was a horrible, horrible scene. and the coach was crying. and it was very, very close game at the time. but what's interesting was kevin was on the stretcher coming, you know coming out and he kept saying, just win the game, win the game. >> there were six minutes left in the game. >> yeah, six minutes left. they, it turned out being a blow-out after that. and they ended up -- >> they presented the trophy to kevin in the hospital. and i think now there's a question about you know, what's going to happen with him and with his career and how severe the injury was. and you know -- >> it was a real -- >> it was a very, very difficult time. so let's go to good news, if we can. >> lindsay lohan?

>> no, better! the baby giraffe. >> oh, the one that lives in my home town that i was hoping they would name bambina. the baby girl. >> this baby is huge already. >> she's so adorable. >> they did finally pick a name for this little baby and they called the baby -- sandy hope. this is -- >> because newtown's close by to greenwich and this little giraffe represents new birth and hope so sandy hope. >> how sweet. we watch a little giraffe look, how the rest of them are hanging out. >> she lives right near our old house in that whole area back there. i want to wish my friend eva moore happy birthday. we went to dinner with her on friday night. regis goes to anything i invite him to. only kidding, he's such good friends with all of us. we had a great time. you know who was there, paul schaeffer and his wife. kathy schaeffer was also celebrating her birthday. hi to her, she's so sweet. she never misses our show every morning.

and i think they were four chinese people, lovely, lovely chinese people were sitting, two couples having dinner behind us, directly behind rege. now very elegant, very, very well-mannered people. regis had to apologize to them i think five times -- >> because you guys were out of control? >> out of control. >> this is buzzing, my favorite thing is buzzing. >> we can't get to it yet, it has to sit. >> it must be my mother. or steven spielberg who just saw me act. and wants to hire me, i know i can't play mrs. lincoln. but i'm sure he's got something else down the pike. >> speaking of april fool's, these are some of the great april fool things that have happened around here lately. >> first of all we should point out that twitter did an april fool's joke where they said they were going to start charging for vowels. >> i thought they did, i didn't care. >> ha, ha. >> google added something called

a nose search engine. it says news, blogs, this one you're supposed to be able to click on nose and smell whatever it is. >> like it went through the machine. >> and they added april fool's to that, too. and youtube did something, too. >> how about we show what our sara did. >> let's skip to the video. >> well, hoda mentioned that she doesn't get a joy from the april fool's day because it's the pranker that does, not the prankee. my first victim? was you. so after you left your dressing room, we, well, a capable crew filled your dressing room to the brim with -- balloons. >> that was not cool. >> so when you came back from the morning meeting you were in for quite a surprise. >> lord -- are you kidding me? are you kidding me?

>> get -- >> you are kidding me. >> you're fine. who's getting dressed in here. >> we moved your clothes to another room. >> hey, nice balloons here. >> so clearly -- >> you didn't let go with an expletive like you normally do. >> she holds it back. our next victim was -- savannah and the classic snake in the potato chip can. she was a little hesitant at first, but she was rushing for a change, i stopped her in the middle of a hallway and she said, is there something in this. and i'm like no, silly. and she -- fell for it and it hit her in the face she threw the can at me. she was less than thrill and she will never fall for that trick again. >> she will never trust you again. >> buh-bye. >> and next on my list was

tameron hall she was filling in for natalie last week. there's nothing like a fake dock roach to put a little pep in your step. i hid one in the couch. so let's check out tameron's reaction. which was sitting under her script, no less. she also looked scared of me when i approached her. she told me that her attorney would be calling and i'm still waiting by the phone. >> carson was still tweeting. >> he's the sweetest thing, love him, love him. >> and kathie lee, you were my final target. >> go. >> my weapon was a foul-tasting chocolate chip cookie that i might have put a little too much salt in i gave some delicious versions to our producers and hoda. and -- i sold it to kathie. and i also mentioned it was my grandmother's recipe. and i knew you would tell me the

truth. >> that is so good. >> she'll be so happy. >> do you like them? >> i love you. >> you don't like it? >> you left out one thing. >> what? >> you didn't put the sugar in it. >> it's delicious, i'm teasing. >> i actually put a lot of salt in there. i'm trying to get into the early april fool's spirit. i knew that you would tell me the truth. >> you put salt in there. >> i put a lot of salt in there. >> see who you can trust always to tell the truth. >> i'm not going to ask hoda if i ever look fat. because she had a bad one and she went mmmm and handed it to someone else. >> it's called being polite. there's the truth and there's polite, okay? >> well is it time for my favorite things? >> of course. >> look at these adorable. something -- they're, this is kay unger and look -- this is by

phoebe couture and the glasses inside, matchie-poo. and your flip phone and your lipstick. look how cute these are i love them. i don't know where they would pass by where i could say get them. it's cassie, my daughter, wait, wait, hi, cass, how are you? i love you, you're on the air right now, say hello to america. what, honey? >> i wouldn't repeat that. >> can i call you after the show, i love you, just glad you made it home, okay? love you, peanut. >> that was worth it. >> that was peanut. >> we got to go. this is good if you're -- >> so sorry. >> if your dog makes a mess, spray this. >> we'll go to break, go!
