>> sometimes things need to be explained. too early. we'll seep you in 25 minutes. >> we're going to send you to the bullpen. good morning. digging in. new jersey governor chris christie not backing down on his decision to quarantine people returning from africa at high risk for ebola. this, after a nurse complained of inhumane treatment while being kept in a tent for three days before she was sent home. this morning, governor christie speaks out in an exclusive live interview. unstoppable, the slow and menacing advance of lava on hawaii's big island now within a few yards of several homes. can anything be done to save them? mile-high mystery. a father heads off to get food during a denver broncos game and hasn't been seen since. the four-day-old search that has his family and police baffled.

and loads of laughter. what happens when two of the funniest people on earth join us in studio 1a? you're about to find out because amy poehler and jim carrey are here, "today," tuesday, october 28th, 2014. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and good morning. welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. i'm matt lauer, along with hoda kotb, al roker and josh elliott. >> who? >> hey, now! >> we'll have more on that in a second. savannah continues on maternity leave with baby vale. natalie is on assignment. we have amy poehler and jim carrey. all i'm going to say is last time he was here, i rode him like a pony. enough of that. >> and that wasn't even on the show. >> absolutely. >> your turn, young man.

>> i brought my own saddle. >> good to have you here. >> a man out taking a walk in midtown predawn and sees the lights, next thing you know, here i am. >> good to have you here. let's stop on a tuesday morning with our top story. the mounting questions and concerns over what to do with people returning from the front lines of the fight against ebola. this, in the wake of the controversial quarantine of a nurse in new jersey. we'll talk to that state's governor, chris christie, in an exclusive live interview in a moment. first, national correspondent kate snow has the latest. kate, good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. after arriving back in her home state of maine, there's now disagreement about whether or how long the nurse has to remain in isolation in her home in that state. what should happen when health care workers return from africa, after treating ebola patients? should they be quarantined in a hospital if they arrive at a u.s. airport with a fever? she found herself dueling with governor chris christie over this national debate.

>> she comes back to the united states and they treat her as if she's a criminal. >> my job is not to represent her. it's to represent the people of new jersey. >> reporter: hitchcock did register a fever but says she was just flustered. she was released monday after 24 hours symptom free. >> to the extent governor christie made this a political act so that he could show he was in charge in protecting the people of new jersey, i think he picked the wrong individual with kaci hickox. >> no one likes being in the hospital. no one likes being in the hospital. the fact is this woman presented, after directly in contact with folks having ebola. >> reporter: on monday with so many states doing their own thing, the centers for disease cell issued new guidelines, suggesting four categories for people entering the u.s. from ebola outbreak countries, those with high risk would stay home and stay in contact with health

departments. the states are trying to sort all this out by themselves. what took so long? why did the federal government not give anybody guidance? >> the whole evolution of this ebola epidemic in africa and now the importation here is really an evolving, moving target in which you have to rely on new experiences. >> don't take anything off. >> reporter: hospitals across the country, like the mayo clinic, are doing drills, trying to make sure they're ready if someone comes in with ebola. as for u.s. military personnel serving in west africa, the government said monday all soldiers will be quarantined on a military base in italy for 2 21 days before returning home. soldiers will be restricted to a complex with barracks, dining facility and gym. the head of the nih told me it was easier to make a blanket rule for the military because they're used to being on a base or confined to barracks. the bigger challenge has been how to handle civilians. matt, a little bit of good news. the nurse, amber vinson from dallas, treated at emory university in atlanta, is

expected to be released today. >> that is good news. thanks, kate. new jersey's governor chris christie is here with us exclusively. good morning, governor. how are you? >> i'm well, matt. thank you. along comes kaci hickox. she complained loudly about the treatment she received. did you get more than you bargained for with miss hickox? >> matt, i can't imagine that anyone would find it an experience they were looking for, to have to spend three days in a hospital. i understand that. but the fact is, matt, that she presented at the airport as someone who had contact, direct contact with folks infected with the ebola virus and then she became symptomatic. the fact is that person has to go to the hospital, has to be treated. cdc ordered her to be tested for the ebola virus based upon her symptoms. when she was no longer symptomatic and the tests came back negative, she was released to continue her quarantine at home.

>> let me make sure i understand that. was she september back to maine because she no longer had a fever, any symptoms or was she sent back to maine because she went out and hired a talented lawyer like norm siegel and was throat threatening legal action against the state? >> you used the word talented, matt, not me. and no, that's been the policy all along. if she never presented with any symptoms, our policy would have been to send her back to maine and ask her to quarantine at home in maine. it's because she presented with symptoms and was tested, and that testing was ordered with the cdc in conjunction with the state of new jersey. >> the policy remains in effect, right? i want to read to you what the doctor from nih said yesterday. he called the mappedtory quarantine of all health care workers who come in contact with ebola patients in west africa and then return draconian, that you and governor cuomo got it wrong. the doctor said this. quote, christie and cuomo are both really smart guys, yet they've decided to ignore

science, evidence and decades of careful observations made by those brave enough to have gone to africa to assist in the control of these epidemics. how do you respond to that? >> well, i'll respond to it this way, matt. first off, now six other states have joined us as well, both republican and democratic governors, as has the united states military. as has dr. bruce bugler, who is a nobel prize winning physician who says he favors our policy. the fact is that the cdc has been incremental. this newest guidance, from my perspective, is incredibly confusing. by the way, what's the difference when someone is considered to be high risk? you don't want them on public transportation, you don't want them at public gatherings and you want them to work from home. that sounds like quarantine to me, matt and, listen -- >> is it possible that you're on the wrong side of science here but the right side of public opinion? >> no, i'm going to be on the right side of both, ultimately, matt. i understand that the cdc has been behind on this. folks got infected in texas

because they were behind and we're not going to have folks being infected in new jersey and other states in this country. governors ultimately have the responsibility to protect the public health and public safety of the people within their borders when folks come in with this problem. let's be clear, matt. all we're talking about is folks who have been directly in contact, as health care workers, with folks who are actively infected with the virus. not all travelers -- the reporting has been very sloppy on this, matt. >> and yet a lot of people i've talked to, health care experts, say this. the best way to prevent new cases from ebola from coming to the united states is to stop the outbreak in west africa. you start attaching 21 days to the commitment of any health care worker who wants to go there and help the crisis there, isn't that going to have a chilling effect? >> no, it's not, matt. these folks go over there because they want to help and make a difference. and we applaud them. but by the same token, when they're in direct contact with people actively with the ebola

virus, asking them to quarantine at home for 21 days, unless they're symptomatic, i don't think, is draconian and i think the doctor is responding, unfortunately, as are many people from the cdc, in a hyperbolic way because they've been wrong before and now are incrementally taking steps to the policy we put in effect in new jersey and six other states have put in effect and the joint chiefs of staff have put in effect. we're all wrong and they're right, matt? we're trying to be careful here. this is common sense. the members of the american public believe it is common sense and we are not moving an inch. our policy hasn't changed and our policy will not change. >> real, real quickly, all this takes place about a week from the mid term elections. a lot of people would like to infuse this situation with politics. will you say to me right now that there is no political blame to be assessed for what has happened with ebola in this country at this point? >> matt, i'm not here to discuss political blame. and when you look at what has happened here in the different states that have adopted this,

you've had both republican and democratic governors adopting this. governor dayton in minnesota, governor cuomo in new york with me in new jersey, governor scott, a republican in florida. democratic governors in virginia and maryland where i'm sitting this morning. the fact is you've got more democratic governors doing this than republican governors. this is a nonpartisan issue, matt. here is the bottom line as governor. my first responsibility is to protect the public health and safety of the people of new jersey. and i will not submit to any political pressure in doing anything less than i believe is necessary. we're now backed up by the american military and a nobel prize-winning doctor. so, i understand there's all kind of protestations from the cdc but we want stricter things than what they have been willing to impose and now they're incrementally, matt, moving toward our position. what's the difference of telling someone who has been a health care worker at high risk that they can't go in public places, public transportation and we want them to work from home, what's the difference between that and a quarantine?

they don't want to admit that we're right and they were wrong. i'm sorry about that. >> questions that will continue to be asked. governor, i really appreciate your time this morning. thank you so much. >> matt, thank you very much. >> all right. imagine this. imagine knowing your home was going to be destroyed and all you could do was watch it happen. that's what dozens of homeowners in hawaii are going through this morning as the lava flow slowly advances. nbc's hallie jackson has the latest on that. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. the local elementary school here will be closed indefinitely, starting tomorrow, because it's in the path of this lava flow. as are a number of homes, some of them on the street behind me. officials say they will let the people watch the lava burn their home, if they want, part of what they call the grieving process here. you can hear it burning, crackling. methane explosions on the lava's leading edge, shaking the ground underneath, red hot river wider

than a football field, moving in on the town of pahoa, melting hundreds of yards over the last 24 hours. >> up until now there's always been hope that it would stop, change direction. the minute it affects the first structure or home, this is real. >> reporter: the lees know it's real. their home could be next. where is the lava flow from here? >> right over there. >> reporter: that's where we went. the lava just past the tree line near property that's been in this family five generations. in the backyard, a bulldozer building a berm. what's it for? >> to help maybe divert the lava around and go downhill. >> reporter: you think it will work? >> it might. we're hoping. >> reporter: for weeks this flow has been making its way toward pahoa after a volcanic eruption in june. it crossed a local road and then a cemetery on the edge of town, reality check for people here. some already packing up and

leaving. >> it could eventually get the whole town of pahoa. >> you deal with so much different types of stress, you know, with this whole lava situation, yeah. and, first of all, it's now coming to take your home that you worked so hard for all these years. we don't know what we're going to do but we just take it day by day. >> reporter: day by day and, really, hour by hour at this point. officials say it's tricky to predict when this lava flow, this river of lava might cross the main highway here because it's speeding up and slowing down depending on terrain. people here say they're ready. >> hallie jackson, thank you. matt, you know about that area. >> we have experience with kilauea and her lava flow. back in had 2000 we did the show from that lava flow. we wept out ant out and didrogr and by the time we went back to get our cars and our trucks and the lava flow had cut off the road and we

had to walk an extra mile around to get back to our vehicle. it's very unpredictable. >> then the lava flow stole your cars. >> right. she's a mean volcano, kilauea. as we mentioned, josh elliott is in for natalie this morning. we're happy about that. but you start with troubling news. >> we do. isis has gained access to chemical weapons and is using them against kurdish fighters in syria. u.s. secretary of state john kerry says the reports are now under investigation. meantime, isis on monday released another propaganda video, featuring british hostage john cantley, photographer kidnapped in 2012. in the video, cantley indicates that isis controls large sectors of that border town of kobani. u.s. counterterrorism officials say that assertion is false. and the rob ford era is over in toronto. john it tori, a moderate conservative, was elected as

mayor, taking 40% of the vote on a promise to unite a city in scandal and turmoil. he beat out rob ford's brother, doug, who ran the city while his brother battled cancer. rob ford will, in fact, return to city council where he once served. and mexican authorities searching for 43 missing college students have found human remains. testing is under way to see if they belonged to the young men last seen in police custody a month ago. authorities have announced they arrested four probable gang members in connection with their disappearance. they say one of the suspects gave them a new search location where their remains could be found. and a former georgia investment adviser who vanished after losing millions of clients dollars is now facing up to 30 years in prison. aubrey lee price, 48-year-old former fugitive pled guilty in june to three counts of fraud. price left letters actually

hinting at his suicide. florida judge ultimately, in fact, declared him dead. last december, he was captured very much alive in a routine traffic stop. take a look at this, pickup truck plows through a neighborhood cavern, all caught on a police dash cam. it happened near cleveland late last week. police just released the video. you can see it there. they say the truck was stolen. officers put down stop sticks in the road that worked to a degree. the suspect ran over them, veering left, taking out the bar. 12 people inside the tavern were hurt, none serious, as is the driver who now faces a lengthy list of charges. and a very costly celebration for a table tennis champion. j.k. zheng pulls off an upset, winning the 2014 men's cup in germany. instead of a conventional celebration or really any celebration whatsoever, he goes

for the big sweeping kick to the advertisement board because something is their fault and into the crowd goes the jersey. none of that apparently was okay. officials would later fine him $45,000, which just so happens to be the same amount he just earned for pulling the upset and winning that championship. >> hello. >> congratulations, question mark. >> $44,000 for taking the shirt o off. $1,000 for wrecking the advertising sign. >> you squeaked a little sports in. there you go. >> i tried my best. >> mr. roker is here. look at all the yellow and red in the middle of the country. >> it is a rough one all along a frontal system that will be bringing temperature changes. meantime it is bringing showers and thunderstorms, especially right now to indianapolis. you can see the rain on the camera. and it's going to finally clear up by the afternoon. high of about 61 degrees. meantime, we have a risk of strong storms as this system

makes its way east. from western p.a. on into eastern ohio, down into west virginia, we've got the risk of damaging winds and hail. this makes its way to the east, pushing showers and thunderstorms on into tonight and early tomorrow morning as it gets to the east coast. things dry out rather nicely. rest of the country, beautiful day up and down the east coast. temperatures anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees above average. behind the front, clearing skies. look at those temperatures. they drop anywhere from 10 to 15 degrees below average. that's what's going on. we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. so there's questions about the world that all of us have, especially about money and finance. the goal of khan academy and better money habits and the partnership we're doing with bank of america is to give people the tools they need to empower themselves.

7:18. good monday morning to you. 40s and 50s across the board. 21 degrees this morning. that is cold enough for making snow. s as we get into the next couple of days, we're actually going to warm you up. we bring in rain to the bay area and snow for tahoe. 77 in the north bay, 71 for the east shore today. that rain arrives late week. >> al, thank you very much. tamron is covering for carson in the orange room. a little controversy involving walmart. what is going on? >> this is unbelievable if you've been on twitter, facebook, instagram, facing criticism after labeling its adult plus sized halloween outfits on its website, quote,

fat girl costume. >> no. >> people online began noticing this so-called fat girl costumes heading into early last week. but walmart did not respond, guys, or fix the mistake until monday afternoon. so, walmart removed its original posting and redirected customers to the, quote, plus-sized halloween costumes. fat girl costumes was the top trending topic on twitter monday and people were discussing this all over social media. norma, one of our friends wrote to us. you should be ashamed of the costume section online called fat girl costumes. pathetic. on to katie, highly, highly offended by @walmart's latest marketing strategy concerning plus-sized costumes and walmart issued a statement, guys. this should have never been on our site and we apologize. we quickly removed it and made sure to not let it happen again. the key word for me here, if i could circle it, quickly.

it stayed up several days after people noted it online. i'm not going to ask you to tell us what you think. because i believe 99% of you are going, what are you thinking? you can join the conversation, #orange room. i'll make the case. why don't they just say halloween costumes and lose the plus? adult costumes. why do you have to differentiate in size? we know our size. you can click on it. >> how do they get on the website? >> is this a case of sabotage? did someone do this -- >> no, no, this has happened before, guys. a lot of the retailers will say third party post. walmart has not said they've been hacked, sabotaged, anything like that. if they do, i will update you. right now that's not what's being said. >> fat boy costumes would be good, too. coming up, mile high mystery, where is a father who vanished at a denver stadium during the middle of the game? his family is speaking out.

better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don't start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take.

one pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. ask about xeljanz. you're watching "today in the bay." >> a very good tuesday morning to you. 7:26 now. i'm laura garcia-cannon. san jose state students are remembering one of their classmates killed by a car in front of his fraternity house. dozens of fraternity members held a memorial. earlier this morning ventura county sheriff's deputy was hit and killed by a hit and run driver. the deputy was doing a traffic stop on northbound 101 when he was hit by a car. the car sped away but crashed a short distance away. the driver was taken into custody. the driver has not been identified but he was an 11-year

west africa and quarantined in new jersey despite a negative ebola test has returned home to maine. she will remained quarantined for 21 days. the woman's lawyer says he will ask health officials to only require his client to be monitored. a lava flow from hawaii's kilauea volcano is creeping slowly but surely to dozens of homes on the big island. it's expected to reach some of those homes as early as this morning. searching for a new car? "consumer reports" is out with its annual car reliability survey. for the second year in a row, toyota and lexus topped the list. buick was the only american brand in the top ten while fiat ranked the lowest. >> there's always next year. >> uh-huh. there is. have you used this yet? apple claims its new apple pay system will revolutionize the way we make purchases. why then are some major

retailers already punt iing on ? we'll dive into this. >> have you used it? >> since they can hack into anything, i would be afraid someone would have my thumbprint and forever it would be out there. that's a big no. >> i still use pocket change. >> i haven't used it yet. but if you have little ones at home there's a major recall about baby wipes you're going to want to know about. we'll tell you about that coming up. we have a lot coming up. let's start this half hour with a mysterious disappearance of a father missing for four days after he vanished during the middle of thursday night's nfl game being played in denver. janet shamlian is at the stadium this morning. what can you tell us? >> reporter: more than 75,000 people were packed into this stadium for denver's last game. among them a colorado dad attend ing his first broncos game, and he seems to have simply vanished without a trace. this morning, there are no clues

and his friends and family are appealing for help. missing at mile high, a colorado dad, paul kitterman, gone without a trace from a stadium packed with tens of thousands of fans. it happened as the broncos played the chargers thursday night. >> somebody you can count on to do whatever you need. and if he knows we're waiting for him, he'll be there. >> reporter: but paul kitterman wasn't there for his stepson jared, who was left there waiting as the game ended and the crowd emptied. this photo was taken just before half time, the last time the group saw kitterman. >> just a perfect day, perfect situation. there was really nothing to be wrong. >> reporter: it was a big night for the 53-year-old colorado rancher, his first broncos game. as excited as he was, he never returned to his seat during the second half, or the group's meeting place. >> we figured we would run into him. maybe he went to the truck. we would still find him outside, sitting on a bench outside the

stadium. >> reporter: kitterman didn't have a cell phone or any credit cards on him, says jared, and he was only carrying about $50 in cash. denver police say there's no evidence of a crime. >> we're looking at tapes and things like that to determine where he might have gone. obviously, it's a mystery and we're not sure. >> reporter: those who know kitterman say he's a stand-up kind of guy, a hard worker, with no known alcohol or drug problems. >> looking at the stadium tapes might tell us something. >> reporter: this morning, his friends and his son are desperate for answers. >> i want him to know that we're worried about him and for whatever reason he's gone, just to let us know that he's okay. that's all. >> reporter: there are a lot of cameras in this stadium and those recordings have now been turned over to the denver police department. they say they're reviewing them for clues. right now, they have very little to go on in this case.

back to you. >> janet, thank you very much. imagine the feeling of being the last one waiting in that stadium. >> right. >> and he still hasn't come back, the panic that would set in. >> an amazing story. new, chilling information on that deadly school shooting near seattle. investigators now saying the young gunman targeted his victims by inviting them to lunch. nbc's joe friar has more on that story. joe, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. investigators say that the gunman sent text messages to the victims, asking them to join him for lunch. witnesses say he then shot five students before taking his own life. investigators say they still don't know why jaylen fryberg shot five of his closest friends, including two cousins at marysville pilchuk high school but now believe it was planned. >> the information we've got is that five people that were targeted were invited to the table. it's our understanding he did so via texting. >> nate heckendorf says he saw fryberg invite another student to lunch. before the shooting on friday morning.

oot he asked, hey, do you want to go to lun of with me? i have no one else to sit with and my friends looked at me and said no, i've got to go to fifth period. >> reporter: he said fortunately his friend was not in the cafeteria when the shooting happened but alan perez was there. he witnessed the tragedy and said fryberg's victims did not appear to be random. >> it seemed like he kind of came to the school with set targets on who he wanted to kill. and he didn't really shoot at anyone else. >> reporter: in the end, two victims were killed, zoe galasso and gia soriano, both 14 years old. shaylee chuckulnaskit and andrew fryberg are still in critical condition. nate hatch is awake and breathing on his own. he says, i love you and i forgive you, jaylen. rest in peace. detectives says the gun was

we're back at 7:43. we have a battle over the mobile payment systems. on one side you have apple and its new apple pay technology. on the other side, some of the nation's biggest retailers, including walmart, cvs and rite aid. tom costello has this story. good morning. >> matt, good morning. everyone who used it says the apple payment system is as simple as pointing your phone at the electronic reader at the checkout stand. apple insists it's secure and private but it's a bit too private for some retailers who want to know more about you, the shopper. if you believe the folks at apple, our entire shopping

experience is in for profound change with apple leading the way. >> we believe apple pay is going to be huge. it's going to change the way we pay for things. >> no more credit card swipes or pin codes. all you do is point your iphone and the credit card stored on your phone is automatically billed. already the three biggest bank cards have signed on. >> use mastercard with apple pay. you could get a surprise. >> reporter: if you have a new iphone 6 or 6 plus it's already at your fingertips. >> can i use apple pay today? >> reporter: buzz feed's tech editor loves it. >> i was struck by just how completely easy it was. i thought i was going to hold it up to the little sensor and there was going to be, you know, a wait time. it was instantaneous. >> reporter: but retailers, not so fast. so far, apple lists only 34 retailers who accept apple pay. over the weekend, rite aid and cvs both dropped out after a few days in nearly identical

statements both said we are in the process of evaluating mobile payment options. walmart and best buy also not buying in. why? analysts say it's because they're among a group of retailers backing a rival system that charges debit cards and giving something that apple isn't sharing. >> they tend to want more information about the customers, who they are, what their spending patterns are and anything else that they can put together with that. >> reporter: apple tells nbc news, we are working to get as many merchants as possible to support this convenient, secure and private payment option for consumers. of course, iphone isn't the only game in town. plenty of folks have different phones. it's entirely possible that retailers won't choose one or the other but instead to accommodate multiple mobile payment systems. guys, back to you. >> tom, thank you. >> i'm scared of it. >> yeah? >> i'm scared of it. >> no matter who does it, you're

not buying into it? >> it might be too good for us. >> i see. >> all righty then. to tease a guest coming up later. be afraid, very afraid. natalie and jenna go ghost hunting in one of the scariest places in the world. they have been everything from the dynamic duo to sigfreud and roy. what are your favorite matt and al costumes ever? >> i'm looking at j.lo. >> this is scary. costumes ever? we've heard that over 4 hundred million vacation days? go unused every year. that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard. they're paid vacation days. if you guys agreed to travel more we'll all do better in school. we'll have a better understanding of other cultures. i will learn to parler français.

from dallas infected after treating thomas eric duncan weeks ago. she is now ebola-free and heading home later today. she will be speaking to reporters. and the centers for disease control monday issuing new guidelines to try and tell the states what to do with medical workers returning to the u.s. from the front lines of ebola in west africa. that move coming after at least seven states had already enacted some kind of quarantine. nurse kaci hickox, who you mentioned was put in quarantine in that tent in new jersey for three days, well, she's now back in her home state of maine this morning, and her lawyer says they're now debating with maine officials about how long she needs to stay isolated at home. she, of course, had complained loudly about being mistreated and said the quarantine was unnecessary, josh. >> to that end, kate, earlier on today, new jersey governor chris christie defended his state's quarantine policy, which goes beyond the guidelines set by the centers for disease control. >> i understand that the cdc is behind on this. folks got infected in texas because they were behind, and we're not going to have folks

being infected in new jersey and in other states in this country. the man who murdered a pennsylvania state trooper has now eluded a massive police search for a month and a half. nbc's kristen dahlgren is in blooming grove, pennsylvania, this morning. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, josh. well, we're waiting for the results of dna tests to see if blood found in somebody's backyard could have been eric frein's. this has been going on for 46 days, but this morning, some police are hopeful that maybe that new lead, or perhaps some new technology, could finally put an end to this. this is the newest police weapon in the search for suspected cop killer eric frein, an experimental device similar to a weather balloon, outfitted with cameras designed for both day and night to search the dense woods for the survivalist who is believed to be hiding. the blimp is silent and apparently inexpensive. in a massive police effort that's currently costing an estimated $1 million per week. despite promising finds early by police in the manhunt, seven

weeks of hunting have yet to turn up the man who authorities say ambushed and killed state trooper bryon dickson on september 12th. the huge dragnet has kept local residents on edge for a month and a half. >> there's days when we are home, and then 30 to 100 guys just pile out of the woods around us and we don't even know they're there. >> reporter: local resident james telley says he's had enough of the manhunt, because he looks like frein and walks to work and says he's been stopped over 20 times by police with one experience particularly frightening. >> silver, unmarked suv pulls up. the driver jumps out, pointing a rifle at my head, ordering me down to the ground. >> reporter: a crowd-funding site has now raised over $22,000 to purchase a car for tully in hopes of avoiding those false alarms. >> i just want to get back to my normal life. >> reporter: now, eric frein is now on the fbi's ten most wanted list, but as you can imagine, nobody here is going to rest

easy until he is caught. and josh, in many towns here, they've actually canceled halloween for this week, just too concerned about having kids running around near these woods. >> certainly understandable. kristen dahlgren, thank you for that. and finally, what if you never had to argue again over who gets a window seat on an airplane? a question perhaps no longer rhetorical. this is the new design from the center for process innovation. it envisions, as you can see, a cabin that just has one long window on each side. the remaining walls would then serve as video displays for cameras mounted outside the aircraft. the overall effect, roughly akin to floating on air, which seems a bit redundant, since that's, in fact, what you're doing. i would prefer to just preserve the illusion as we defy physics and gravity and logic. it is now about 8:06 here. let's get another check of the weather with you, al. it's almost like flying in

wonder woman's invisible plane. i love that. here's a young man. he looks familiar. were you guys here before? >> yeah! >> when? >> monday or tuesday. >> monday? monday or tuesday. well, today's tuesday, right? >> last week? >> oh, last week. all right. where are you from? >> wisconsin. >> all right, just hanging out. who's this? >> this is william. >> william, nice to see you. a return -- yes, yes, he likes the mike. i love that smile. all right, let's take a look, show you what's going on as far as your weather's concerned. we've got more wet weather, unfortunately, in the pacific northwest. it has been coming down and continues to all day today. rain and wind going to be a real mess. in fact, rainfall amounts anywhere from 2 to locally some areas picking up up to 4 inches of rain. that's what's going 8:07 now. we have rain in the forecast, as well. i'm going to give you timing in just a moment.

for today, warm temperatures, three to five degrees warmer than yesterday. even warmer for your wednesday. a little bit of the 80 activity if you're in the valley spots. we're talking about 85 degrees tomorrow in the tri-valley. then your temperatures crash, as we head throughout halloween, we're talking about temperatures in the 60s and rainfall moving in about 5:00. clearing between 5:00 and 7:00, clearing completely overnight. your latest weather. >> excellent, al! >> all right, get ready to watch this. >> ready. coming up on "trending," an epic driving fail. wait until you see how many times this guy in the car hits the car next door. >> we're counting. plus, an all-star comedy lineup. amy poehler on her new book. >> oefld oh, my gosh! >> and jim carrey on his new movie. but first, these messages. >> excellent.

treat. the monkey on the left gets a cucumber. the monkey on the right started out getting a cucumber, too, and when both get the same treat, these things will do this 25 times in a row. >> okay. >> then what do they do? they give the monkey on the left a cucumber, but they give the monkey on the right a delicious grape. >> what happened? >> something more desirable. watch what happens. the monkey on the left throws the cucumber back at the researcher, all right? they do it again. he does it again. look at this. the reason here is this whole thing, just like humans, we always want what the other person has. >> who among us -- >> we've been that monkey. >> maybe the monkey just likes getting a laugh. >> let me explain that, this was shown during a class. >> oh, okay! a live studio audience. home videos. >> no. >> actually, i do like your pen better than my pen. i was looking at it.

own treats. here's a great story involving a random act of kindness. a cabbie in new york was nearing the end of his shift when a man in a baseball cap flags him down. the driver was hesitant but picks up the guy anyway, and lucky he did. the guy in the cab turned out to be tom hanks. but hold on. the driver says he screamed out, "wilson!" like, that's my wilson! like "castaway," of course. and yes, he got a picture, which is what you do when you meet tom hanks. tom apparently called the guy mr. ferrari because the cabbie was wearing a ferrari hat and a shirt. follow me. there's more. the cabbie says he began telling everyone who got in the cab about tom hanks. well, it paid off, because one day, he got a random text message saying, "tom" -- yes, that tom -- was inviting him and his wife to tom's broadway show. the show is called "lucky guy." the driver says the title describes him perfectly. and tom hanks will play the cabbie in the next movie -- >> wait, there's more. >> what? >> you're not going to believe this. >> what? >> i got into that guy's cab.

>> really? >> no. >> he showed me the picture. he said, he called me mr. ferrari. he told me about the story about how he went to see "lucky guy" with his wife. it was like a whole situation. when we were doing the story, i said -- >> you tell us this now? >> i was saving it! it's a big deal. >> clearly, the cabbie unimpressed. he never posted the picture with you. >> oh! >> only posted the picture with tom hanks. but it's a small world. >> in new york city, with the kazillions of people -- >> what are the odds? >> i got into that guy's cab. isn't that crazy? >> wait, there's actually more -- [ laughter ] >> no. >> all right. >> all right, that is "what's trending today." and we're back with amy poehler in 30 seconds. amy poehler in 30 seconds.

a person who's lived a long life or just started out, so i was interested in the person feeling too busy to write a book. >> first of all, i like that it's not punch line after punch line in this book. >> no. >> serious subjects. one of the things you write about is hard work and the value of it. you obviously were instilled with a good work ethic. and i think when it comes to comedy, not many people realize how much hard work goes into it. >> yeah, people expect and assume that you just kind of wake up overnight and things happen. but the saying is true, it takes about ten years for something lucky to happen. so, i worked really hard for a long time, so i was happy to write about it. >> you also come from a funny family, because we know you're hysterical. we had your brother on. >> yes. >> he was hysterical, too. >> yes. >> was it something your parents had in the water at your house? >> well, when everyone tries to be funny, they're accidentally funny. but yeah, you know, wit was kind of important at our dinner table. you had to take good-natured teasing. it's a very boston thing to be able to play along and have a

good sense of humor about yourself. >> mm-hmm. >> you have a good grasp on the power of words. you write a little bit about divorce, which i don't really care about the actual divorce, but the way you described it, where you said it's like putting everything you care about on a blanket and tossing it up in the air. i thought that was very powerful imagery. >> thank you. >> i really did. >> thank you. yeah, i mean, i tried to write about my life in a way that felt comfortable for me. and it was interesting to figure out what i wanted to share and what i didn't. but like any experience, it's shared by so many other people, so you try to figure out what makes your stuff personal. >> i thought it was interesting, you said it wasn't so special, your being divorced, because there are so many people out there who are. >> that's right, so it's figuring out how to tell your story and how it relates to the people reading it. >> when you talk about "snl," you were talking about how in high school, you went and you took a tour of 30 rock and the whole bit. >> yes. i took a tour of this building and anthony michael hall and robert downey jr. were rehearsing, the "snl" alums. what you think of when you think

(vo) theraflu starts to get to work in your body in just 5 minutes. (vo) theraflu breaks you free from your worst cold and flu symptoms. (vo) theraflu. serious power. that's the way i look at life. looking for something better. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve

or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. yoplait light is now better than ever. it still melts in your mouth. with 90 calories. and is now aspartame free. yoplait light. it is so good; it's better than ever. >> announcer: the toyota concert series on "today" brought to you by toyota. >> british singer/songwriter
