dreyer is. let's start with our top story, that new message from isis militants overnight as two countries try to free hostages the terror group is threatening to kill. nbc's katie tur has the latest on this. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. the japanese say they believe the voice on this latest recording is that of kenji goto, asking for his life and the life of a pilot in exchange for a would be suicide bomber. the deadline is right about now. >> i am kenji goto. this is a voice message i have been told to send to you. >> reporter: isis claims this is the voice of kenji goto explaining the recent demands. the lives of isis captives, a jordanian military pilot. for the release of would be

suicide bomber on death row in jordan and if it ises not met, they say they will kill him immediately. in japan, vigils, while japanese prime minister shinzo abe responded angrily, saying, these lowly acts of terror are something we cannot forgive. speaking to reporters, goto's mother says the prime minister is doing everything he can to bring her son home. as for jordan, they have agreed to release an iraqi woman in prison for trying to blow herself up at an amman hotel for their fighter pilot but made no mention of goto. they claim they have beheaded the other hostage on saturday after initially demanding a $200 million ransom. the japanese government says they have been in close contact with the jordanian government but won't specify what moves they may make. right now, japanese journalists

are lined up at the turkey border hoping to see their colleague again. matt, even if the prisoner release goes as planned, it is unclear whether goto or the jordanian pilot will be released as well, only that they won't be executed. >> katie, such a disturbing story. thank you very much. closer to home the wig story remains the weather, the impact of tuesday's weather across the northeast. today dylan dreyer has made her way to nantucket. first al has his eyes on two new systems is that could bring more snow. >> it's a one-two punch. nobody wants to hear. i hate to be the one to tell you about it. already, look at this, we got winter storm warnings up already from maine, freezing rain added advisories all the way back into the ohio river valley. this weak area of lp lp comes out. are already seeing frozen precip by thursday afternoon. it makes its way into the east.

so by early tomorrow morning, we got snow here in the northeast. we are looking at maybe one to two, possibly three inches of snow. it means heavy snow for maine right now. we are talking 9 to 12 inches for maine. if that second low strengthens, we could see some of the heavier snow slip down towards new york city. we are watching that. now, here's the other storm we are watching. sunday morning, this storm developed in texas. it's going to be the one that brings rain into the southwest. the track of the storm still uncertain. you look at the main models, the european model. the track is further to the south. it's mostly dry in the northeast. more of a mid-atlantic, southeastern atlantic coast. the american model, which did better in this last storm, had the trap further to the north. that means the heavier snow in the mid-atlantic into the east.

an icy mix. we have to watch. we have a few days out. we will be watching these models closely. first, i forgot. i have to go talk to dylan dreyer. i like being with you guys. i have to see dylan dreyer. she was on the first ferry in nantucket after they got cut off from this big storm. >> reporter: al the last thing everyone wants to hear about right now is more bad weather, considering we are just finishing up digging out from the first storm. so here in nantucket, the quintessential new england town completely cut off and in the dark during the storm is finally getting back up and running. power is restored, schools are open today. the ferries are running. this whole community is ready to move on. a summertime get away, nantucket is encased in snow and ice. >> it started out a plain old winter storm. then it has become an ice storm,

then a hurricane, then a flood. >> reporter: the first ferries are back up and running but much of the space has been reserved for power crew ss. those as far away as canada. things are ripping off your house, what is that sounding like as the storm is happening? >> it sounds like a train is coming through your living room. >> reporter: they say people in nantucket stick together during a storm. >> it's such a big community when storms happen that people tend to almost embrace them. >> you definitely feel like a community thing that you can just go to a neighbor's house >> reporter: look at this. a photo of what some faced on tuesday, walls of waves crashing ashore. that's the sound of the ocean being chipped away in marshfield, nearly everything was doused, the water freezing in place. >> the upstairs i think is okay, but the downstairs clear through.

>> reporter: high tide smashed through this home sending debris into his face. >> if i got knocked out, i probably would be kill. >> reporter: he survived but his home is an icy ruin. the scope of the storm brought into focus by a satellite photo showing a blanket of snow across the northeast. in portland, maine, people on sidewalks are shielded by snow banks. it's taking a toll on snow blowers. business is booming at this repair shop. >> belts are going, people are pushing the machines a little too hard. >> reporter: there is plenty to do. and with snow in the forecast, perhaps more to come. everyone is trying to do their part. there is one shoveler who is getting a lot of attention. this boston man was anonymously shoveling and clearing away the snow from the finish line at the boston marathon. obviously, an important symbol

in the wake of the boston marathon bombing. and guess what? we found him. we will talk to him in a bit. >> i saw that picture online, i started to choke up. there is something so wonderful and kind about that gesture. dylan, thank you very much. the fbi is intensifying its search for the person or persons behind a series of threatening tweets aimed at commercial planes in the u.s. made in the name of isis, that mentioned spes specific flights. >> reporter: hi, matt, good morning. what makes it so concerning, it's happened so many times in the past two weeks, more than 20 sometimes times since saturday. often they are coming while the plane is still in the air. the radio traffic between the tower and pilots, anything but usual. >> this is fbi just doing a check. how's conditions on board? flight deck secured? over. >> the flight deck is secure.

passengers are pretty well behaved, starting to get a little bit antsy. >> reporter: it's happened nearly two times, bomb threats posted on twitter by someone claiming to represent isis. on january 17th, delta flight 1803 atlanta to raleigh. >> there were dogs sniffing us on and off the plane. yeah, it was a little crazy. >> reporter: on sunday jetblue 1006 long beach to seattle, and phoenix to seattle and delta 1061 los angeles to orlando diverted to dallas after someone tweeted we are isis, we are here. onboard sarah saw the tweet while in the air. >> so to see that and say we are isis, we are here, we're on the plane, i mean, that was absolutely terrifying. because you don't know what you are looking for. you don't know if someone looks suspicious or not. >> reporter: once on the ground the plane and passengers isolated and searched. >> everyone's going to have to

be cleared. the entire aircraft is going to have to be cleared due to the possible credibility of a threat. >> reporter: law enforcement say it's the work of pranksters and copycat, not terrorists. penalty if caught, up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. the fbi is an leading the twitter feeds looking for the foot prints that could lead them to a suspect. >> every time it's creating a little profile. that gives authorities more information so they can make better decisions. >> reporter: for passengers, of course, it's a huge inconvenience, missed connections, missed appointments, but for the airlines, we are talking tens of thousands of dollars per flight. this is very expensive. so as you might expect, the fbi is being very aggressive on this. back to you. >> tom costello at reagan national. meantime, there is new concern on that measles traced to disney parks in california. the number of confirmed cases is now approaching 100. hundreds more are warned to watch for signs of the virus. halle jackson has the story in

mesa, arizona, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah, arizona health officials say a thousand people may have been exposed in this state from the seven patients that had the virus here, including one woman that visited this children's clinic where signs warn about the symptoms of measles. because the virus is so contagious, it can survive a couple hours in the air or on surfaces. that one case may have put exponentially more people at risk. this morning, some 200 people who may have been exposed to measles are monitoring children and themselves, after people are visiting health care centers in california and in arizona where they live. >> i have been informed it was an adult woman unvaccinated who exposed my child at a facility that's for high risk children. it's sad because this was preventible. >> reporter: it's not just

unvaccinated adults who could be spreading the highly contagious virus. a california man told health officials he thinks he was immunized when he was younger, but he became infected with the virus anyway. a single measles shot can be 95% effective. two can boost it to 99%. >> the measles outbreak is a concern for everyone, adults and children, because it's galloping from state to state. if are you not vaccinated or not sure if you had the infection, play it safe and get the vaccination. >> reporter: even if you were immunized as a child, you may want to consider a booster. >> as we get older, our immune systems aren't as strong, that makes everybody a little more vulnerable. >> reporter: it's why adam winetraub visited his doctor for a shot. >> i am 37 years old, and the last time i had a measles shot i was 13. when the doctor recommended it, i said, yeah, this is a good idea.

i should do it. >> reporter: he lives in southern california, where half of measles cases, 61%, affect adults and every reported measles cases in nearby orange county is over the age of 18. experts are bracing for more measles cases, but some states hope to stop them in their tracks. one high school, for example, sent home more than 60 students who haven't been immunized for up to a week. one dad wants his son's school to ban any kids who don't have the vaccine. matt, savannah. >> astonishing how quickly it can spread. thank you. >> natalie is here with news on the air asia disaster. >> we have new information this morning on the crash of airasia flight 8501 officials say it was under the control of the first officer and not the captain when it climbed about 3,000 feet in 30 seconds before crashing. it is believed, though, the captain took over control of the aircraft as it began to descend sharply.

it went down in the java sea killing all 162 people on board. meantime, the disappearance of malaysia flight 370 has been officially declared an accident. in a statement this morning released, officials say all 239 people on board are presumed dead. the search for the wreckage in the southern indian ocean will go on. secretary of defense chuck hagel said farewell to the troops as he begins to leave his post. president obama praised hagel as a true patriot in virginia. hagel resigned in november. the president has named ashton carter to replace hagel, but he'll remain at his post until a successor is confirmed. future presidents of the united states will take off in a brand-new air force one. the pentagon announced on wednesday the current fleet of two presidential aircraft will be replaced by boeing 7478s. the planes should be ready by 2017 but will need another five years of testing after that.

but the way it comes down seems like an extension of victim blaming mentality. >> reporter: in a statement to nbc news, the university of virginia said the mandate is quote a matter between the national organizations and their local chapters. while the national conference which represents sororities but did not issue the mandate, says it supports alternative options on saturday as a matter of safety. an approach that didn't sit well with jalen ross, especially in light of the new safety standards his fraternity helped create. >> we are throwing it out and assuming it's as dangerous as it has ever been. >> reporter: now the student council has reached out to the national leaders of all 16 sororities and asked him to come here to campus to have a discussion on friday and hopefully some sort of a resolution. the chairman told me he's heard from one of those organizations, but is confident they will hear from more before tomorrow. i do want to update you as well, savannah. we just heard further reaction this morning from the university of virginia. they are now saying they resist

by monday with heavier rain on the way. you were actually warmer when you were in iceland? did you have a good time? >> amazing. >> there you go. that's all that matters. let's go back inside to natalie. right, thanks so much al. now to our "start today" series to help you begin your year on the right foot. "today" financial editor jean chatzky is back to tell you how to earn extra cash and she even had me open up my storage unit. harriet, jean welcome to my storage wars. >> reporter: six years ago my family moved into a smaller place, and my stuff moved to a storage unit. but it was time to purge. >> let's see what we have. >> reporter: guiding me our own jean chatzky and harriet rowan from consignment shop state treasures. >> i think this would do a lot of good for other people. i'm hoping we can all go through it all together. >> it has a beautiful cushion on that. >> what's this?

>> reporter: i even managed to find treasures among my treasures. our little boy photo album. oh, my gosh i think this is my husband's. a lock of his hair. this is my son's knit cap when he was born. >> oh, geez. >> this is when i got married. a lot of these are my kids' toys, but they've definitely outgrown these. >> oh, my heavens. >> sand from your vacation in the bucket? >> reporter: harriet took my bigger pieces. >> i love this trunk. and it would be fabulous as a coffee table. >> this is an antique chest. if you run your hand over you'll see how uneven it is. that means that it's been done all by hand. >> antiques are 100. >> 100 years old. i love the accessories. these are figurines, very, very collectible. >> excellent. we did a lot of work today. i'm tired. >> reporter: and jean took items for online tag sales. >> you should understand we're not going to get top dollar for this. we're going to price it to sell.

i've moved stuff in an hour. we'll put pictures online. people come and they'll pick it up, which is terrific. >> reporter: off they went to harriet's tent sale. and jean got busy selling online. >> it's been 15 minutes, and i already have three people who want the storage bin. this is an adrenaline rush. this is, like shopping at a sale except in reverse. >> oh my gosh, jean, i'm so excited! how did we do with the sales? >> we did great. i have an envelope of cash for you. $870 just the stuff that i sold. harriet made more than $1,100, she donated her commission by the way. more than $2,000 for save the children in connecticut. >> a great organization. let's first about consignment shops. i think a lot of people think when they have bigger pieces that's a good place to offload, but we also had small figurines and little things she was able to sell as well. >> right. and consignment is generally best for your higher-end items. >> right.

>> the nice thing about it is they're going to do the work. but you want to understand what kind of a split you're going to get on the proceeds. often consignment shops will pay 60%. >> keep that in mind. >> that's important to keep in mind. >> okay. but you can do facebook groups which is something you did, right? selling online? >> there are all these facebook groups that have sprung up. the best way to find one in your area just type in where you live and the word "sale," and generally they'll pop up. what i like about them is they're a closed group. you usually have to apply to get in, and they're very local. so you don't have to worry as much about who you're dealing with. >> and people showing up at your house to pick some of the stuff up. >> you may want to meet in a third-party location anyway. and if you've got gadgets, you probably don't want the facebook group. you want to go to amazon or to next worth or sites that specialize in getting rid of gadgets. >> i know they send a lot of them to the armed services as

well. and they fix them for them. >> right. so they donate them in most cases. and that's the next category that we're talking about. there's a group called cell phones for soldiers that was started by a couple of kids a couple years ago. they'll use the phones for parts even if they're not working and they'll donate them. when you're donating, it is all about the tax deductions. so salvation army, goodwill both on their websites have guidelines for how much the tax deduction you can actually take. but i like this app called it's deductible. you can use it for iphone and for android. it will track what you give away during the year. so it's really easy. paper trail. >> and we also not only donated to save the children but also to women shelters in connecticut as well. great job, jean. and thanks to harriet as well. >> thank you. >> this is going right to the charity, jean. thank you. we're going to wrap up our "start today" month tomorrow with a final facebook chat in january with our four days. be sure to get in on your questions. but coming up next what a

pleasure kevin costner live in studio 1a. but first, this is "today" on nbc. us in studio 1a. first, this is "today" on nbc.

. >> we are back now, we are with oscar winner kevin costner. his new movie is called "black or white." he is in a custody battle over his granddaughter. >> i told them you are all welcome to come visit. >> i'm thinking things the way they are, that's the hand we have been dealt. she's been dealt. we need to start talking about a shared custody. >> not going to happen. >> no? >>. like i say, you are all welcome to come visit. >> you don't want her down here do you, elliot down here with the black folks? >> you don't want to start with that? >> we have a little black math tutor, is that going to do it? >> no. >> take care of 245 whole half of her soul. >> what is it with you?

why do you always go there? >> it's that you don't admit there is a there there. >> that is the great octavia spencer, i must be naive about hollywood, i would figure if you pick up the phone and say something to somebody in the producing and directing end, i want to make a movie, the funding for that movie pours in yet you had to work to get the made? >> the phone call will get picked up it is being made. there is nobody that read "black or white" that said it was bad. they said it was great. it didn't fit. i read it because i thought, oh my god, we have a real big secret with this movie. the same thing with "field of dreams." a simple moichl when i readmple a simple movie. when i read it i thought if we pull this off, it could make it. my friend and i paid for it all. i think it has a chance to stand the test of time.

it's certainly an authentic look at where we are in this country with race today. what we wanted to happen did happen. >> the characters confront the issue of race head-on. before i ask you about the story line have you had an experience in your own life a personal experience where you witnessed racism unfolding in front of you, either overtly or suddenly that had an impact? >> i was born in compton, california 1955 i was there for seven, eight years. that word used to be lot. never to somebody's face i never saw it ever used in anger, it was used in words like joke and i'm around that and i hear that extended family. you can use that myself. it's not appropriate and so yeah i've seen it. i never, i've seen other ones for sure. >> in the movie, your character does use the "n" word at one

point. i know there were people in the project that were nervous. they urged you to shoot an alternate version of the screen. you stood your ground. >> there was talk about it. i funded it. there was no way, there is no point in dancing around this subject and the success of the movie is that the words do get said and in a normal break down of an argument you can walk away. people watch a two-hour movie they see this word if they hang another five minutes, something else happens, this movie really ends up being about a lot of things that people i think wish they'd be able to say. >> in the process of being able to go out and promoting this movie, you do a lot of interviews in the last week or so you have been asked about certain subjects and you made your comments about "american sniper" and michael moore. you weighed in on deflate-get a, without going into specific comments people can go online and find that. do you find the older you get

the more opinionated you are or you are willing to share those opinions? >> i think we will hear we will talk about black and white and someone will bring up michael moore or deflate-gate. i would talk about that when it comes to a movie that has a lot of value. as far as the football thing, it has no value to me i can have an opinion about it. michael moore i was point blank asked about it. i didn't say i didn't want to talk about it. i felt from my point of view those comments were wrong. >> what else are you doing for fun? >> well we were right on the ocean. so our background our back yard is the type rolls, they're out in it every day pulling something out of the hose trying to look at it. so my little girl is 4. she decided she's if ballet. i asked her, how she's doing? she said i'm the best. i said okay we're going to work on humble right after that. but, you know i have this movie life and then i have this ought

life. it dominos. >> i have known you a long time. it's nice to see you doing movies like this to be proud of a project. >> you get a chance ever once in a time to stand the test of time and travel and travel beyond it's opening weekend. >> come back soon "black or white" opens tomorrow we will talk to his co-star next on "today." next up our close look at some of the super bowl ads.

back now at 8:47. now we turn to the commercials that will catch your attention. matt miller is president and ceo of the independent commercial producers. good morning. >> good morning. >> my favorite part are the ads,

but this year we saw 50% of companies actually releasing or more than 50% releasing their ads online early. does this dilute the impact of the ads, do you think, during the super bowl or are you thinking advertisers will think that lightning may strike twice? >> it's a bit of a strategy but you know even the ones that blow up budweiser premiered yesterday, we premiered it here. about 5 million views already. but that's a minuscule piece of the audience. what you actually do is you bring people in and they're in a room of 30 people. they become the ambassadors. hey, everyone be quiet, watch the spot. we've seen this this is great. people see it. it can really be a big win for marketers who get it right. >> all right. a lot of teasers as well released online. quick little up?snippets, skelgtss and nissan. do you like this? >> it's that halfway. some of them put a piece up. some do something. >> i like this marshawn lynch. >> like marshawn lynch. this has nothing to do with the commercial, but he's known as a big skittles advocate.

he's an endorser of skittles. the irony that he'll do a skittles press conference but he won't do a regular one. >> that's the only way he'll answer the questions. >> it's fun. it gets the buzz about skittles. skittles, a first-time advertise they are year is going to get in front of the big game. we still don't know what that commercial will be. >> good. a lot less sexy this year what we're seeing but more of that going for the humor and the heart strings. we've got a really funny ad by snickers, i think. take a look. >> marsha, what happened? >> peter hit me in the nose with a football. i can't go to the dance like this. >> well i'm sure it was an accident sweetheart. >> an eye for an eye, that's what dad always said. >> i never said that, honey. >> shut up! time to teach peter a lesson. >> marsha, eat a snickers. >> why? >> you get a little hostile when you're hungry. better? >> better. >> marsha marsha marsha. >> jan, this isn't about you. >> it never is! ♪ >> oh what a cast of characters. that by the way, released to us

exclusively here on "today." steve buscemi as jan. is it a home run? >> it is. they've knocked it out of the park. they've taken this from betty white and abe vigoda. they brought a little bit of nostalgia and a lot of fun to it. it's almost like the classic real punchy comedic spot. >> et going back to that nostalgia which people always like. p&g going for the heart strings, continuing with its "like a girl" series. let's take a quick little look here. >> show me what it looks like to run like a girl. >> my hair. >> show me what it looks like to fight like a girl. now throw like a girl. >> oh. >> so do you think you just insulted your sister? >> no. i mean yeah insulted girls, but not my sister.

>> my name is dakota and i'm 10 years old. >> show me what it looks like to run like a girl. >> i think we get the idea here matt. really sweet, sort of a powerful message, girl power. it's not entirely new. they've done this ad campaign before. >> this is a piece of an online video that always put out last summer. you know putting it on this stage for this audience it really does say something. i mean look we understand that 50% of the audience are women. and also it says something really important so always procter&gamble has said you know what? let's put this on the big stage and get our message out there in a big way. >> real quick, godaddy, they pulled the lost puppy, their take on the budweiser ad. do you think they should have bowed to the social pressure? do you think it was the right thing to do to pull the ad or do you think this is part of their grand scheme? this was the plan all along? >> this wasn't the plan all along, no doubt. they put a lot into this ad.

they've always pushed the envelope. here they went for some real cutting-edge comedy. they've always been cutting edge. they've always been out there. you know what? this one didn't resonate. comedy's hard. sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't. and it obviously got something going. i actually say kudos to them for seeing what the social -- >> social reaction. >> -- and getting on it and saying you know what? we're going to react to that and we're going to work with our customers. >> got to go. matt miller thanks so much. you can see all the commercials right now on today.com. meanwhile, tomorrow a real treat. we're going to reveal our super bowl ad that we did. but up next giada's favorite finger foods to serve during the big game. first this is "today" on nbc. did.

. >> we are back with our special series game on. what to serve for the super bowl and contributor. giada laurentis is her with her ultimate finger food. >> hi good morning. >> i never think of chicken wings at home when i go to a party, i'm like a heat seeking missile. i love these things. >> we will do a third a cup of sherry vinegar, it's basically the balsamic vinegar in italy. in spain they love sherry vinegar, it's lightly sweet. we have this chili paste. go ahead.

you want to whole thing? >> no it's spicy. >> yes. >> that was really spicy. >> it's really spicy. red peppers. >> you put a lot in there. >> i did. basically, we will dissolve the sugar and let the whole thing come together. it looks like this attack the chicken wings. >> you break them apart? >> yes, that way you got those little wings and little two hours, put it in the zip back you let it marinate. quickly, we spray at the bottom of the pan so it don't stick. come back here. and we take them out of the oven you bake them for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees, don't be afraid. just pour right over the top. you take the rest of the marinade pour them over the top like that. >> you don't serve those with a dipping sauce? >> hold on one second. you put them under the broiler. that's the chick to getting the

crispiness on it. get it. get that one in there. under the broiler for three minutes. this is what they look like. >> all right. so that's them there. then you have these calzones. >> everything rosciutti, hot mari na ra. >> i want the wings. >> fantastic. >> giada, who are you pic all right. all that super bowl food looked pretty good. it's 8:56. as long as we're talking about football today may mark the beginning of the end for san francisco's fabled candlestick park. a spokesperson for the developer said demolition will start once the heavy equipment arrives and that could be as soon as today. the stadium will be torn down piece by piece and the process

what i thought was a big movement was hardly perceivable. i was like a ghost. i could hear and see everything. but it was like i wasn't there. i was invisible. >> his parents have spoken about this. and the moment that got me was when she said there was finally a time she went up and said to her son, she said essentially it's okay to die. it's time to die. not knowing he could process that, and he heard his mother say that to him. here's another sound bite from his mother. >> i said to him one day, i hope you die, and i had no idea that he understood that. i'm very, very sorry i said it. >> while i was very sad and upset by what she said, i understood where that was coming from. my mother often felt she wasn't a good mom and couldn't take care of me. one of the hardest things for me was i couldn't tell her that,
