an historic day, may 10th, 2013. from nbc news, this is a special edition of "today." with matt lauer. live from one world trade center and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning, everyone. welcome to this special edition of "today" on a friday morning and wow. take a look at the view from a crane about 105 stories up on the top of one world trade center. a building that is so significant to the people here in new york and all across the country. and savannah, it is a stunning, stunning morning. i'm 1500 feet in the air and you are at sea level. savannah, good morning to you. >> i hope you are not afraid of heights. sometimes you have to go to great lengths to witness history and you are going to see

something -- we are all going to see something really momentous in this hour. >> we are. we have been given unprecedented access by the port authority of new york and new jersey and in a couple of minutes i get to give a signal and history will take place. the workers here on the crane are going to lift the final two sections of the spire. sections 17 and 18. they will lift it to the top of what has already been constructed 1701 feet in the air and gently place the sections down, 75 feet of sections, and this building will soar to a height of 1776 feet. so symbolic. so significant and as i said it will become the tallest building in the western hemisphere. savannah, i don't know how you feel about heights, but i want to say, i want to give you a sense of where i'm standing. i'm on a platform right on the edge and take a look down. 105 stories down.

if you don't like heights, this isn't the place to be this morning, but we will have some amazing sights and sounds for you coming up. >> if my stomach is doing somersaults i don't know what yours is doing. no, put your hand on the railing, please. we will check back with you in a moment and witness history. incredible moment. we will begin with the top of the news. braesking story out of bangladesh right now. saur viefr pulla survivor pullee after become trapped in the debris for two weeks. jim, good morning to you. >> reporter: they are calling this woman a miracle survivor. this morning, recovery workers say they saw her wave her hand at them, at the scene. officially immediately called for a work stoppage as workers were seen frantically trying to cut through debris with saws and equipment and anything they

could get their hands on. there are reports she was pulled from the debris alive and rushed to the hospital. this would mean that someone has survived 17 days after the collapse and ten days since this rescue operation became a full-blown recovery operation. only today the death toll from this disaster soared past the 1,000 mark. there's still hundreds of bodies believed to be buried under that rubble from this form per garment factory. now we have a survivor and that will change the complexion of this ongoing operation. back to you. >> incredible news out of bangladesh this morning. jim maceda, thank you. new developments on the kidnapping case in cleveland and what the suspect is telling police about those abductions. jeff rosten is in cleveland again for us this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning to you,

savannah. ariel castro is waking up behind bars here at the cleveland county jail. he's in isolation. that means no contact with other inmates. he's also on suicide watch, but sources say he's talking to police. and overnight, we got the details of his chilling confession. >> ariel castro. >> reporter:. >> reporter: ariel castro. >> in his interrogation he talked about himself, three girls he's accused of kidnapping, raping and who he blames for it. law enforcement sources tell our affiliate wkyc castro describes himself as cold blooded and addicted to sex. that he couldn't control his impulses. the sources say that castro gave investigators exacting detail about the abductions down to what michelle, amanda and gina were wearing when he took them. castro appeared docky during

questioning the sources say, showing no remorse saying he expected to be caught because he had no commit plan. prosecutors now considering going for the death penalty. >> based on the facts, i totally intend to seek charges for each and every act of sexual violence, all of his attempted murders and each act of aggravated murder he committed by terminating pregnancies. >> reporter: police sources say that castro wrote a suicide note in 2004 saying he endured physical abuse as a child. in that same note, he blamed the girls for their own abductions. that they were the ones who got in his car in the first place. castro's mother speaking out on thursday. >> translator: i have a son who's sick, she said. i ask for forgiveness. relatives still can't believe it. neither can castro's friend ricky who even visited the house. you have been in the house several times. >> yep. >> reporter: have you ever heard

indication that girls were there? >> nothing. >> reporter: he said the front door was heavily secure canned with five to six locks. >> when you tried to leave the house? >> i couldn't get out. he had to do it himself. >> reporter: now ariel castro is locked up, held on $8 million bond. this morning, we are getting new information about the victims, all three girls keeping a low profile which is to be expected. they haven't come outside. michelle is still recovering in the hospital. amanda and gina back home with their families, sleeping in their own beds and in their own homes for the first time in a decade and we're told at gina's house all she wanted was pizza and who can blame her? >> thank you. let's turn to lisa bloom, the legal analyst. good morning to you. >> good morning. let's talk about this potential offing aing vated murder charges, presumably for the unborn fetus or fetuses of michelle knight. ohio is a state that does apply fetal homicide to the earliest

stages of pregnancy, is that correct? >> that's right. so the prosecution would have to show this was an unwanted termination of the pregnancy against the mother's consent. that is aggravated murder and potentially stoubt the death penalty in ohio. >> does this complicate the prosecution of the case? we know there are rape and kidnapping charges, the evidence, the testimony of three surviving witnesses, these women. does a murder charge make it more challenging for the prosecutor? >> it does because the kidnapping and rape charges are pretty clear. this is something that could be litigated. he could say he didn't do it. there may not be a lot of medical evidence to show the forced terminations because they could have happened years ago. >> there are reports that castro is talking to investigators or did and is perhaps worried about a suicide note that makes some admissions. are there any circumstances, in your mind, in which prosecutors

might offer or accept some kind of a plea deal? >> the only situation i can think of, is the three victims say we want to be done with him. give him life in prison without the possibility of parole. we want to restart our lives. i can see the prosecutor saying we will give you a plea deal to be done with this. >> thank you very much. we are following trouble on the international space station overnight. natalie is here and has details on. that. >> good morning. that's right. there's a leak on the international space station. some 200 miles above the earth. nasa says the radiator leak on the space station's power system is serious, but not life-threatening. engineers are working to reroute electronics to avoid the leak and officials say they will know more today. as of now, there are no emergency plans to evacuate the crew of six, which includes two american astronauts. a $45 million bank heist all perpetrated by hackers using

atms. seven people are in custody here in the u.s. this morning after an international bank robbery stealing some $45 million in just hours. federal prrs say it appears no individual card holders lost any money but the actual funds were taken from banks that back up pre-paid debit cards. new concerns this morning that warning signs went unheeded in the lead up to the boston marathon bombing. the nation's capitol, davis testified before congress that the fbi did not tell boston police they had received warnings about tamerlan in 2011. whole foods says that labels were reversed on chicken salad and a vegan version sold in the northeast. thin correctly marked salads were sold on tuesday and wednesday in 15 stores.

the fda says the vegan salad contains soy and the chicken salad contains egg which could trigger reactions for those allergic to those ingredients. randy jackson is calling it a day on "american idol." he released a statement that reads, yo, yo, yo, to put all the speculation to rest. after 12 years of judging on "american idol" i have decided it is time to leave after this season. a lot of fans will be sad to see the dawg go. i like him and sorry to see him go. >> it is the final day of the "wake up with al" tour across the country and today he is in silver spring, moaryland. >> reporter: we are at forest knolls elementary. all of these kids and we don't hear anything. go ahead and make some noise. there you go. we will meet the young lady who

got us to come here in a bit. but first show you what is going on as far as our weather. we have severe weather to talk about. two areas. one in pittsburgh in the upper alleghenys and the ohio river valley but the bigger area stretching from texas in to mississippi. first of all n the northeast, from ohio up to hagerstown, pittsburgh, a line of showers and thunderstorms. you can see them developing already. they are causing big problems. the bigger storm system where we were yesterday, from louisiana all the way down in to texas. rainfall amounts, anywhere from two to three inches of rain. that's what's going on. we will get the local weather in just a moment but first this message.

it's 7:13 now. you made it to friday. the clouds have made it all the way inland. ñ what's happening in san francisco.)a' o you can see, thick, low clouds this morning. we do have the flight delays at an hour and 15 minutes. we are going to hit the 70s and 80s. 78, livermore, 64, san francisco. 70s, straight up in oakland. good-looking conditions for your mother's day weekend. 86 degrees for your mom. savannah? weather. savannah? >> thank you so much. minister of turkey.

good morning to you, ann. >> reporter: all right. good morning, everyone. paving the way for his meeting with president obama next week, turkey's influential prime minister said that syria crossed the president's red line on chemical weapons a long time ago. >> translator: it is clear the regime has used chemical weapons, missiles. >> reporter: can you tell us what kinds of weapons have been used, how dangerous they have been to civilian populations? >> translator: different kinds of missiles and then there are death caused by these missiles and there are burns, serious burns and chemical reactions. >> reporter: so has president bashar al-assad crossed president obama's red line? >> translator: long time ago. my question is, the united

nations, the u.n. security council, are you doing what you are supposed to do? why do you exist in the first place? what is your job? is there a deadline like they are not going to move until one million people were killed? >> reporter: do you encourage president obama to get involved directly in the situation in syria? >> translator: we want the united states to assume more responsibilities and take further steps. >> what is the just punishment for mr. assad in your view? what is your message to him at this moment in history. >> i'm saying that he should leave syria. that sooner or later the opposition are going to get him. and i hope that his end does not be like gadhafi's.

>> gadhafi was killed by his own people. the prime minister didn't reveal what kind of weapons they report finding but said his government is sharing the intelligence. the white house responded to his interview with us saying it does not yet have the evidence to say for certain whether the red line on chemical weapons has been crossed. now back to you, savannah. >> thank you. let us take a turn and go back to matt who's high atop one world trade center. the view is looking pretty good. >> it's not bad, savannah. you can see lady liberty in the harbor. to the right is ellis island on a spectacular friday morning here in the new york area. now back to tell you where i am. i am walking on what feels to me to be a precarious cat walk. i'm on one of the two cranes on top of one world trade center. to my right is the second crane. that one is a little taller. it has to be because just in a few minutes, as i give the signal, the crane will lift the

final two sections of the spire. those sections are just alongside me right now. they are 75 feet in length. the top is the beacon that will be able to be seen by about 50 miles in any direction on a clear day. what will happen is they will lift that section 0 up or those sections up and they will lower them down to those ironworkers on the top there. 1701 feet above sea level. how about those guys from local 40? they will guide it in to place and then bolt it together so it doesn't go anywhere. below me here, you can see some members of the trade, some union members here who have been so much a part, savannah, of this building process over the last six and a half years. there will be applause and tears shed when that moment is reached in a little while. meanwhile, it has been a very long journey since nooimpb 9/11, through a lot of the controversy over the project. to fill us in on that anne thompson is across the way and

she is over in new jersey. anne? >> reporter: good morning, matt. no matter where you stand, whether you are in the tower, as you are or you are beneath it or across the river like i am, this is a spectacular sight. it means something to every american from the daily commuter to the workers who built the buildings to the victims' families. from this tragedy and the rubble of that horrible september day has risen a new beginning. we got an up close and personal look at the tow area year and a half ago, when it was only 76 floors high, beams still being hoisted and the blow torches fuelled by the air of the open sky. >> wow. >> many workers have been here since the tower fell and for them this became a personal crusade. >> you have a little bit of your life and soul embedded in to that building up there. >> reporter: for the victims'

families whose hearts remain here, it is a mix of emotion. jim riches was a new york city fire chief on 9/11 and among his fellow firefighters lost that day was his own son jimmy. >> for us there will never be closure. my son will never walk in that door. this is the place where he died. >> reporter: her husband kevin was in the south tower when it collapsed. >> my husbands remains were never found. so this is where he's buried. this is his final resting place. the building is a symbol of a coming back. >> reporter: it's also a coming back for mcmillan the last survivor pulled from the rubble. >> maybe it is a little bittersweet but what they have done is rebuild the building. i think it is great. >> reporter: she told her kids about what happened to her and so many others that day and hopes to eventually take them to visit. >> they understand.

they understand. they keep ask canning me we should go back one day and walk by and i want it to be all done and then i will take them there. >> reporter: i drove in from the airport and looked at the lower manhattan skyline and smiled the first time since 9/11 because the tower was lit up and the gaping hole we had come to expect was no longer there. it's not the same. it will never be the same, but matt it is progress. >> it certainly is. anne thompson in liberty national state park this morning. thank you very much. coming up, i will give the signal and a crane will lift the final sections of the spire. the crowning achievement on this symbol of renewal and hope. and we will watch it live. but first, this is "today" on nbc. crash dating!

7:30 now on a friday morning, a picture perfect day in lower manhattan and we are just moments away from watching history live on our air, the one world trade center spire will be lowered into place, 1,776 feet in the air, a number loaded with symbolism and meaning for this country, and matt is 104 floors up or so and he will have the honor of kicking off what has to be an incredibly delicate operation, matt, and loaded with meaning for all americans. >> sarvannahsavannah, imagine t members of those who lost their lives on 9/11, not only the people who worked at the world trade center but the heroic

first responders who rushed into danger and lost their lives because of what happened here and over the last oh 11 years or so or 12 years, they've watched what's happened at this site. sometimes it's been painfully slow but over the last six plus years it's moved at quite a pace and so many people have put their heart and their soul into this progress or this process, and they're going to get to see the crowning achievement in a couple of minutes. by the way the guy who gets to have the honor of lowering the final two sections of the spire into place he's up in the crane just above me here, he's with the operating engineers local 14, that's john schaffner in the cab, and it's a delicate process. he'll pick this 75-foot piece of spire up, lift it above what's already in place and gently, ever so gently lower it to those ironworkers from local 40 up on the crow's nest, and they will then bolt it into place. now, guys like that have a tough commute to work every morning.

they get up very early and boy, it is not easy to get here. i found that out firsthand just a couple of hours ago, savannah. got it, thank you. there was no napping on my way to work this morning. i caught an express elevator to the roof and i was lucky. usually the tower crew has to take three elevators to the top, a 30 to 45-minute commute just inside the building. needless to say, these days, they brown bag lunch. at the top, my workout begins, i have to climb nine ladders, about 20 stories, to reach my post on the crane platform. if you don't like ladders, you can't come here. over 1,500 feet off the ground. i can't imagine doing this every day, though for the crane operators, the view from their corner office is priceless. okay, we've made it to the top,

just in time for sunrise. where is the starbucks? it really is an incredible journey, it's harrowing at times. i'm not afraid of heights but i found my knees knocking at times. this is scott reckler, chairman of the port authority. talk to me about the significance of today. >> this is a symbolic moment, the building represents the resiliency of the country, the thousands of men and women who worked here tirelessly have done it a passionate tribute for the terrorists on 9/11 led on this site. >> folks had the 9/11 stickers on their helmet and waiting for this moment for 12 years but certainly the last six and a half they've been building this building. scott, can we do this? >> let's do it. >> john schaffner, if he's ready and if these guys down below are ready, let's have the crowning achievement.

[ horn ] now what will happen is john will start to lift this 75-foot-long section, two sections actually of the spire. these two sections combined, savannah, weigh about 40 tons. you can see, i think, as this section starts to lift you can see the beacon, which is right here in the center. [ cheers and applause ] that's a very technically advanced beacon that, when it's in place and operating can be seen for 50 miles in any direction, savannah, on a clear day. >> i think i heard applause from some of the workers, people who have poured their hearts into this project and as we watch this moment unfold, matt, i have to tell you it is impossible not to have a lump in your throat right now. >> a lot of the folks on the platform below us, again we are above the roof on a platform part of the crane above the roof of one world trade center. these people just wanted to be

here this morning and i would imagine down on the ground there are a lot of other trade members, union members who have had some role in the construction of this building, they are probably gathered down there and there will be a huge piece of applause when this thing is finally lowered into place. they tell me because it is such a delicate operation -- i have to tell you weather was important. if you get a 40 on it section of spire swinging because of the wind, that is a very bad situation. they're going to lift it straight up. then they do they'll get it above the 1,701 foot section in place, lower it down to the ironworkers and they'll bolt it into place and that's when you'll hear the applause, savannah and natalie, when these people will let some of their emotions go. >> it is a moment loaded with emotion and matt, forgive me if you mentioned this already but how long do we think this

process will take? >> it's about a 10 to 15-minute process. they have to do this carefully. they'll take about six or seven, eight minutes to get this above what's there are there, then they have to make sure it's lined up exactly right. by the way as the bottom of these sections pass us right now, i can tell you what they did initially is they lifted it up off the platform here and they checked it very carefully to make sure there was no debris, nothing extra stuck to that mounting bracket area so there would be anything less than a perfect fit and they put those 60 bolts in and tightened them. they're heavy. i actually held one of them in my hands a short time ago and they'll make sure that thing is absolutely secure, savannah. >> we will wait and watch. you stay right there, i know you're not going anywhere, matt, we'll check in with you in a moment. for now we check in with al in maryland with another check of the weather. >> that is a stunning sight so

gorgeous. we have the same kind of blue skies here in silver spring from the forest knowles elementary school, and genevieve wrote a wonderful essay, 250-word essay. look at all the kids who have come down, parents and teachers, and they're all here for you, genevie genevieve. >> thank you so much. >> you went to this school. >> i went to this school. >> when did you graduate? >> 2000. >> you're a teacher's aide, working the lunchroom. what's it like? do you see teachers who taught you? >> i actually do. >> you worked with them? >> art teacher, the p.e. teacher, my fourth grade teacher, it's crazy, mrs. michaels is here and i've known her for years. >> you're still in college. what do you want to do when you graduate? >> communications, i'd love to work in the music industry one day. >> you have al on a stick here, part of your al-a-cart. what do you think of miss genevieve?

[ cheers and applause ] thanks so much. that's what's going on in the 7:38 now. you made it to friday. i'm meteorologist, christina loren. a live look at downtown san jose. plenty of low cloud cover. no fog at the immediate surface. san francisco, still dealing with the one-hour flight delays due to thick, low ceilings. that should probably clear up by the time we hit noon. watch for delays in chicago if you are trying to visit mom, 78, livermore, 64, san francisco. right here in san jose, we will hit about 76 degrees. weekend, a major warmup headed our way. savannah, i'm told, is it pizza for lunch today? pizza for lunch! >> what kind of pizza? just kidding, al. >> i don't know! >> i know. all right. thank you so much. we'll check back in with you. let's check in with matt who is down at one world trade

center site witnessing history. what do you see, matt? >> it's going great here, savannah. these two sections of the spire are now probably a couple hundred feet above us, going straight up. there was a moment, i will tell you, about five seconds ago where it looked like it was starting to swing a little bit. talk about the skill and precision a guy like john schaffner in that cab has to employ at this time. it has to be so steady. you can't get that moving in any bad direction. you don't want it to knick slightly the existing structure. it's probably getting 20, 30 feet from where the ironworkers are from local 40, it will be raised above them, the crane will swing a little bit, check it one last time and john schaffner will slowly begin to lower it. it has a square mounting bracket at the bottom with lots of holes for the bolts. they'll slide that perfectly into place and quickly begin to

bolt it into place and it will be the crowning achievement of this project, savannah, that's taken so long, the planning and there were so many disagreements here after 9/11 what should be done with this site, should it remain a memorial, should there be any buildings here, who would finance it? what was the design? should there be two towers or one? all that was put aside. the rebuilding began and everybody came together especially these people here who have made this possible, savannah. >> it's going to mean so much to so many people, not least of whom those who are a part of this process of placing that spire there, this delicate work as you've described it. this is a job that is not for the feint of heart, matt. how is it they're the ones chosen to do this task? >> john schaffner luck of the draw, he's the operator of this crane. the crane i think i'm on is the one that actually lifted these two sections from the ground. imagine that trip, bringing it

up 105 stories, and then setting it here on the roof, but john schaffner is the guy who operates that crane so he gets the honor. by the way, i was told something i thought was really poignant, earlier, a lot of the guys are the trades men and women who built this building, their fathers built the original trade center and some of their grandfathers had been in this business for a long time, they may have actually built the empire state building, you know, blocks to our north here. this is in their dna. it runs in their families. >> and this is hallowed ground for this country, of course, needless to say. matt, as you're watching -- >> look at what's happening, savannah, yes. they've got that thing, they have swung it directly over the existing structure so again 75 feet, two sections of the spire about to be lowered down directly. it will attach to the 1,701 feet already in place and that's when this building becomes 1,776 feet

tall, so symbolic, the year the 13 colonies declared their independence but so significant because so many people said you could never build a building like this in lower manhattan again, and you know what? these folks have proved everybody wrong. >> no question about it. >> i think we'll get some of a signal from those ironworkers when they feel they've got this in place, and then you'll hear some clapping from my level and the level below us, and as i said, if we had a camera down there, we've only got our camera here, but if you could be down there i imagine you see a lot of tears in the eyes of those brave men and women. >> i think we'll hear some applause again as this moment in history unfolds right here live, and matt, if people are just tuning in, take us through it one more time, this is a spire, you mentioned the symbolic 1,7 6

feet. what will this spire do? it's a broadcast antenna as i understand it. >> not only is it an architecture feature, i have kevin murphy, one of the key figures in all of this and it's important for broadcast operations, kevin. >> this is a broadcast antenna as well. >> this is a great day for all of us here today. the guys couldn't be any more pride, excited about what's going on, all the years of planning, coming right now. these guys are doing a heck of a job, couldn't ask for a better day. >> when those buildings went down back on september 11th and 2001, savannah, remember the antenna on the top that serviced so many broadcast outlets and facilities here in the area went down as well so this is a chance to get back in business when it comes to broadcasting from lower manhatt manhattan. it's not only architectural it's extremely functional.

as we head into our mother's as we head into our mother's day weekend, we're shining the light on our own moms and the amazing lessons they shared with us through the years. >> my mom was an adventurous mom. my mom was no nonsense. she's not one of those moms who coddles you or babies you, but she really believed in us. she's the one who made me feel

like i could do anything. >> even the most mild-mannered person i think becomes a lion or lioness if their child is threatened. i always remember in school, i went to a catholic school in queens and i know that the worst sight for any of those nuns of the principal of that school was sighing isabel roker coming up 120th avenue on her own because of some perceived sleight to one of her children. >> you learn to love people's idiosyncrasies. she was extraordinarily funny, and she still is. we call them joanieisms. she couldn't get anything right, and she still can't. it's always been adorable in her. >> she's very empathetic. she's very generous. she's full of charity. as much as through my life i want to be a rough, tough, rough guy i always hear my mother's voice telling me to think about that other person's feelings. >> my mom has, seems like an endless supply of patience. i don't know where she gets it from, but that is something that i always think of as the perfect trait.

>> my parents divorced when i was 8. my sister was 12 or 13, so i think my favorite memories of my mom after that time were about how she made sure we were okay. she made us feel secure and safe and sure of the future, and i thought that was an extraordinary gift she gave us. >> she was the one, the loudest one at every basketball game which was embarrassing but that's where she was. no matter what i did, it was like oh, yes! i played tennis. oh, she's good, she's the best! she was always there. i know for a fact, for a fact there is no way i would be working at 30 rockefeller plaza, there is no way i'd be sitting next to kathie lee, no way i'd be working here without her. >> my mother in particular was kind of like the instigator of family game night. on friday nights we always played what i like to call full contact scrabble. we played trouble, we played blackjack, we played all sorts

of games that kept us together as a family, and she was the main architect of that. >> when i was a little girl she used to pack my lunch for school and write a little note on a napkin and i treasured that. it would be like this little private moment i would have in the middle of the school day, but it meant so much to me to open it up and for her to say i'm so proud of you. >> she taught me algebra even though she's no mathematician, she taught me how to drive stick even though she's probably not the best driving instructor. but she was always there and willing to do the difficult things with me. >> i think the greatest lesson my mom ever taught me really is you know, being able to pick yourself up when things don't always go as planned. you know, you're going to make mistakes in life but it's how you get right back up and get back out there and show the world that you can do better. that's i think the greatest lesson there is. >> family is everything to her.

her faith, her family, that's her life and i inherited a great deal of that from her. >> one of the things about my mom that i always wanted to kind of bring into my own parenting my mom was one of these people who let us know on a daily basis that we were taken care of, so there was always that kind of norm, but then on a daily basis had funny moments, she'd be completely spontaneous and do things that were completely unexpected, and it would make us laugh and make us question reality. >> anything i wanted to be, she told me i could, and there's something magical about it, and it reminded me that sometimes you know, you don't need everyone to believe in you. you don't need everyone. you just need one. >> every day should be mother's day but we want to wish each and every mom from ours to yours a very happy mother's day. we're back after your local news but first to look back at how the week unfolded right here on

"today". >> officials in syria and iran are hinting at possible retaliations for those israeli air strikes. >> the strength and precision of these attacks leave little doubt. limousine carrying nine women out celebrating a wedding was engulfed in flames. among the dead, narissa fojas, the victims were celebrating her wedding. >> flames started bursting. we are following the breaking news, three women who each vanished in their teens and early 20s about a decade ago were freed from a home just miles from where their abductions took place. >> she comes out with a little girl and she says call 911, my name is amanda berry. >> i've been missing for ten years and i'm here, i'm free now. so far it's worked out pretty well. >> worked out pretty well, but you're doing match.com?

♪ >> shoulder dance. come on. there you go. >> we're going to relive the '80s, very exciting. >> come back soon. >> will you hire me? >> i don't think we'll have to hire you. >> write that down. >> george lopez good to see you. >> there it is. >> come on, i'm not trying out for "the voice" or anything. >> jessica alba, the actress and entrepreneur. >> star trek's chris hines. >> got a big mouth, a big heart. because i said so. >> my people! my people! >> i don't think i would choose you. >> matt is 104 floors up or so. >> can we do this? let's do it.

we are back with more of "today." our special series drop ten pounds by memorial day to help you look your best before you head to the beach in your thong. >> one of the easiest ways to drop a pound a week is choosing wisely when it comes to carbs. we have the low down on carbs. everyone's achilles heel, most people i know. >> that's what people miss the most. >> bread. >> it doesn't mean calorie-free. bread is the big thing. there are great options. >> what are they? >> for about a hundred calories you can get two slices of bread -- light bread. what does that mean? it has air whipped into it and fiber. look at the fiber content. you can have a whole bagel. you can have a mini bagel, english muffin. these things are around a hundred calories. >> my favorite are the deli things. they're good. >> those flat ones. >> you feel like you're getting a sandwich. >> and not giving up everything. >> you can use a lettuce leave

for half the bread. >> put your tuna or chicken salad in that. >> you don't need any bread. >> pasta. this is a big problem for people. think whole wheat if you like it. size matters though. here's the problem. you can buy interesting little containers. >> what's that? >> it's a pasta server. tells you what a serving is. >> that's it? >> that's it. that's it for the uncooked. when you look at something, this is two ounces uncooked. it swells up to a cup. one cup of pasta doesn't mean the raw stuff. it doubles in volume. >> oh. >> this is your serving. >> it's not bad. >> it's fair. >> there are ways to plump it up. replace some of the lasagna noodles with zucchini or use spaghetti squash. >> i remember with the lasagna. >> it tastes like spaghetti. >> you can have twice as much

volume if that's what you are looking for. plump it up with vegetables. >> you plump it up. >> rice, quinoa. >> first look for brown rice. don't look for the serving size on a package that says a cup. this is half a cup. it's enough of a serving. when you have things like buckwheat or quinoa they have more fiber or protein. so a smaller serving fills you up. just because it has high fiber doesn't mean less calories. >> another minute back here. >> everybody loves potatoes. don't blame the potato because it's a carrier. >> it can't help it. >> it didn't mean it. >> think a small whole potato or go for a half. use salsa, chives, greek yogurt. >> this incredible microwave your own potato chips. taste it. this is one potato. >> one? >> this is one potato. it's sliced very thin. a hundred calories. >> i could eat those.

>> it has fiber, the whole potato. >> and you know what you're getting. >> you don't like the first but you like the second bite. >> and put a little salt on it as well. a lot of people like cereal and miss it. get skim milk and look for things that are low in sugar. don't be fooled by health foods because they can have a lot of calories like granola. buy little single serve boxes. have it as a snack. >> that's why we like you. thank you, darling. >> for tips on how you are dropping ten pounds tweet us, use the hash tag # drop 10 today. there is never a dull moment when betsy johnson teams up with her daughter lulu. >> we'll see what they have in store after this. i'll be right back. booop. hi, listen i think you could do better. oh no, he's a nice guy.

decision. i mean, it was something we had to go through. we were very young. there was a lot riding on that decision. you know, i was 21 or 22. chrissie was 18, 19. >> she was 18. why bring it up in the book? it was clearly something she wasn't comfortable talking about? >> it was part of my life. >> did you ask her, jimmy? that's what people are concerned about. this is a private thing for a woman. >> i understand that. >> did you ask her? >> i talked to her after. you know, when things were starting to come out. i didn't really talk to anybody to let them know what i was writing. >> her response. she wrote, in the book jimmy connors has written about a time in our relationship that was personal and emotionally painful. i'm extremely disappointed he used the book to misrespect a private matter and made it public without my knowledge. i hope you understand that i have no further comment. >> i can understand that. >> did she speak to you after. >> we spoke as the book was

coming out. i can understand her disappointment and the way she feels. but, you know, it was the way i saw things. and the way i was looking back. you know, i waited until i was 60 to write the book. i had a good view of what was in there. >> we should point out that is really a small part in a long life. >> one paragraph basically. >> i'm sure when you included it, you knew that was going to be the thing -- there is a whole other book, a ton of stuff you have been through. >> 400 more pages to the book. >> right. >> there is a lot about my life and the way i lived it. i had a great life. don't get me wrong. but i think a lot of people see the raising of the trophies and everything you go through. even though the life was great, it was hard-lived. you know, i'm happy to write about that. >> i sure watched you all those years. you and "nasty" as you call her and -- >> bjorn. >> you and john mcenroe. >> that was magic.
