back with more on this friday morning, the 4th day of may, 2012. on behalf of all these fun people, despite rain in the forecast today, the sun is expected to peek out a little bit later on. and i'm outside alongside david gregory in for matt this morning. we've got al roker and by the way, not only is matt off but also savannah guthrie so tamron hall is here. great to have you, tamron. coming up in this half hour we're talking about home remedies. >> that's right. the old expression a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. you know that one?

>> we watched mary poppins, too. >> apparently some of these things do work and are being accepted into the pantheon of actual remedies. >> the pantheon. it's the hall of fame. all right. also ahead, busted! that's right jeff rossen is back with his roundup of internet capers caught on tape. teens out for a joy ride to a dramatic police chase to a heartless purse snatcher, jeff rossen has it all. >> okay. and fashionistas like ann are always looking forward, but these days it's about you know what? the past. when old is new again, is that what they say? >> check the pantheon. >> okay, oh, those pants she has on are inspired by the '60s and '70s. >> oh, look at her. >> we're going to take a look at it and have the latest styles. >> looks amazing. >> not everybody can wear those pants. >> david can wear them. >> i think david could wear

them. >> just putting that out there. >> let's go inside now and get a check of the top stories from natalie at the news desk. >> good morning to you guys. in the news this morning, we begin with the latest jobs report out this morning, as the unemployment rate falls to its lowest level since january of 2009. dropping down to 8.1%. but hiring did slow in april. the economy added 115,000 jobs. that's down from 154,000 jobs added back in march. secretary of state hillary clinton is expressing optimism this morning over the fate of a blind chinese activist, clearing the way for chen guangcheng to travel to the u.s. as a student after escaping from house arrest in china. >> over the course of the day, progress has been made to help him have the future that he wants, and we will be staying in touch with him as this process moves forward. we have been very clear, and

very committed, to honoring both his choices, and our values. >> the u.s. state department said chen had been offered a fellowship at an american university where he can be accompanied by his wife and two children. the standoff has overshadowed clinton's visit to china for high-level talks on economic and security issues. violence overseas this morning as two coalition soldiers are killed in southern afghanistan today. meantime, in neighboring pakistan, a bomb has killed at least 20 people. these attacks come just a day after documents seized in last year's raid on osama bin laden's hideout revealed he was still set on killing americans, putting president obama and general david petraeus at the top of his list. defense secretary leon panetta's reminding u.s. troops today to maintain high standards of conduct. leaders of the armed services are putting a renewed focus on discipline following the leaks of photos showing american soldiers in afghanistan posing

with dead enemy fighters. the accused mastermind of the september 11th attacks and four co-defendants will be arraigned before a military tribunal like guantanamo bay tomorrow. the gas had been on hold for more than three years while the obama administration tried unsuccessfully to move it to a civil court and close the guantanamo prison. and a 400 pound ostrich gave drivers a run for their money in saudi arabia. he apparently escaped from a farm before hitting the road along a busy highway. and while some cars swerved to avoid hitting the bird other drivers hit the gas so they could catch up and take cell phone videos. but check it out, in the end, the ostrich wins. you can place your bets on the ostrich at the kentucky derby. let's go back out to al with a check of your weather. >> "today's weather" is brought to you by eucerin, over 100 years of skin care expertise. >> man, i thought the road runner was fast. that's amazing.

wait a minute. aren't you supposed to be at a seminar or something? >> we finished yesterday. we're leaving today. >> leaving today. okay. gotcha. let's see what we've got as far as your weather is concerned. three areas of severe weather down in texas along this dry line, looking at storms firing up so we have a risk of strong storms from del rio up into wach tao falls and central oklahoma. then as you make your way into the midwest, breaking front coming into some warm, moist air from wichita, indianapolis, we've got storms. north platte, sioux falls, indianapolis, louisville and then as we move make our way to the east that same front will be dropping down into this warm, moist air bringing more showers and thunderstorms along there from richmond all the way up to new york city, and eastern pennsylvania. that's what's going on around >> good morning. we will start out with dry conditions and maybe some and drizzle. we have the possibility of some strong thunderstorms this afternoon. warm and humid.

>> that's your latest weather. natalie? >> al, thank you. this morning on "today's health," home remedies. how many times have you had a strong headache or maybe muscle pain and you have nothing in your medicine cabinet to help? well the remedy may actually be in your kitchen. internist and women's health contributor dr. care ye peterson is here to reveal some home remedies. >> good morning. >> good to have you in. >> thank you. >> let's get started with the first common ailment and that is a headache. sometimes people don't really want to take a pill or medicine or maybe they don't have something on hand. what can help in this situation that may be not in your medicine cab hit? >> try ginger. the sfies ginger actually has been found to be effective in reducing the number of headaches

that people have and the intensity of headaches that people have to the point where it's even endorsed by some neurologists, actually. and the way that it works is it has anti-inflammatory properties. and it's inflammation that's thought to mediate headache pain. when a vessel in the brain gets inflamed it presses on the nerves around it and that causes pain. so if you can reduce that, you stop the headaches. but one note, not everyone can take ginger. if you have gallstones or you're on blood thinners you should avoid it. >> some people do not like the taste of ginger or may not be able to eat a whole thing of ginger, can they take some other candies or teas? >> i would not recommend biting ginger whole. grind it up and put it in your food or comes in a tea or crystallized, candied or even as a supplement. >> some thing a lot of people are embarrassed by and that is foot odor. so what is the remedy that you're suggesting? >> foot odor, very embarrassing. great remedy is apple cider vinegar. >> really? >> most people have it in their

refrigerator but apple cider vinegar works very, very well. foot odor is caused by bacteria that live on the skin. it's not the sweat. when you release sweat it has no odor but when it mixes with the bacteria. the bacteria create these substances that are very foul smelling. when you put the vinegar on the skin the acidic nature of it lowers the ph of the skin and the bacteria cannot thrive in that environment. it's what kills them. so what we recommend at women's health is just add a cup into a little basin and soak your feet once a day for about ten minutes and it can help kill that bacteria. when you get out, dry them very well because moisture will also allow the bacteria to thrive. >> you also said you could use this for body odors? >> especially for women in the arm pits. if you take cotton balls, dip it in the apple cider. let it dry on the arm pit and then use your deodorant it works much better. >> won't you end up smelling like vinegar? >> you don't. >> good to know. >> all right. next muscle aches. and what home remedy can

alleviate that? >> this is an old school home remedy. good old epsom salts. really cheap in the drugfor. works very well. the fancy term for epsom salts is magnesium sulfate. when you soak in it, it absorbs through the skin and that magnesium has wonderful properties. it eases muscle pain, improves circulation, even helps nerve function and the sulfates can help to improve your joint proteins. if you put two cups in a tub and soak a few times a week it can be helpful. >> next embarrassing issue, bad breath. so there's something as well in your refrigerator that can help you. >> there is, very simple. parsley. we see it on ganaches, particularly in italian restaurants, we have these garlicy meals. it can really have a nice little side effect of freshening your breath. parsley contains color fill and that is a natural deodorizer, if you chew on a sprig after food, it takes away that bad odor. >> eat your side of parsley.

and finally hiccups. some people think if you hold your breath or if you're scared or hop on one leg. you hear all the old wive's tales. what's actually something that can help? >> what i like is a teaspoon of sugar. dry, granulated sugar. a hiccup is caused by a spasm of the diagraphragdiaphragm. the diaphragm controls breathing. the mechanism of action for aborting hiccups is to stimulate the very back of the throat way up high. when you eat a teaspoon of dry, granulated sugar it does that naturally. stimulates that back of the palate and stops the hiccups. >> there is something to that spoonful of sugar after all. always great information. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> still to come this morning, don't forget mom. we've got some great mother's day gifts at affordable prices. but up next, if you're the star of one of these videos, well then you have just been busted. jeff rossen brings us some not so savory behavior caught on

caught on tape. here is jeff rossen. >> i love that shot of you right in the lens. you are right in there. says a lot, doesn't it? >> yes, it does. >> this is all about caught on camera moments, cameras rolling. obviously all the people we're about to show you, innocent until proven guilty. but we want to start in florida at a public supermarket, two elderly sisters, actually, 84 and 96 years old, coming out of the supermarket, waiting for the bus, so what do they do? the bus opens up, the handicap little ramp comes down, looks like this guy is going to help them, right? of course he is. but no, he grabs and snatches the purse from the 84-year-old. look, you can see him. here's the interesting part of this story. his father -- >> the lady falls. that's horrible. >> luckily the women are okay. this was aired on the local news and this boy's father turned him in. >> all right! >> recognized his son and turned him in. he's now sitting in jail on charges awaiting his next hearing. but you know, real scary situation. >> okay we got some teens now

going for an illegal joy ride in albuquerque, new mexico. >> what happens is police set up these bait cars. a bait car is they put a car with the keys, the car unlocked, the keys sitting in the front seat in random parking lots seeing if anyone will steal it. they got lucky when these kids jumped in, four teenagers. >> oh, boy. >> who break into this car and go for a joy ride. and they are excited. they're loving this. talking the entire time. listen to some of the things they're saying as they're joy riding in a stolen car. >> -- a stolen car. >> i know. >> oh, my god, isn't it the craziest thing we've ever done. >> oh, this is -- >> yeah, it's not a video game. >> no this is not the video game grand theft auto. police have the tape for evidence. they're busted. they were arrested and charged. they were handled in you've very, so their cases are sealed but can you see their hands are up and they were arrested. >> let's head back to the sunshine state. a young woman deciding to -- to instigate some offices which is not a good thing?

>> you probably shouldn't do that. instigate al roker, don't instigate police officers. we have video to prove it that al just mentioned. this woman rams her car right in to a police car. >> oh, man! >> and the police dash cam video is rolling. she backs up and does it again as you can see. >> what? >> there she goes. the cop was in the car at the time. he injured his knee. they start chasing her down the street, so what does she do next? she runs into another police car. >> geez. >> why not. so they eventually, she goes on to a horse farm and throws her hands in the air. turns herself in. she's in jail for facing multiple charges including dui and evading police. >> there she is. >> that's a good one. all right. let's go to santa fe, new mexico. some folks -- another person taking their frustration out on the police. >> no one likes getting a speeding ticket. you have a glove compartment full of them. >> how'd you know? >> well, no one really likes getting that. this guy took it to an all-new extreme. he shows up in a night gown,

again police dash cam video rolling and starts shooting. that's a real gun. shooting at a policeman. no one was inside the van at the time. this is a police speeding car that was just parked on the side of the road. no one was in it luckily but he opens fire on this van, he was arrested two weeks later. the s.w.a.t. team actually had to come in and get him. we have his mug shot here for you as well. he pled not guilty but he is in jail. his lawyer is trying to get him a psych and medical evaluation. >> yeah. >> but the evidence is right there. >> and finally we got some police dash cam video that's remarkable but you might not expect it in this way. >> wanted to end on a nice note. this isn't exactly a busted. it's kind of the opposite of that. police never really know what they're going to find on the side of the road. they get a car in distress. you can see he's off to the side. they walk up, this guy was having a heart attack. >> oh, no. >> so the police officers pull this man out of the car, you can see they start doing chest compressions. they even pull out a defib machine, a defibrillator and they save his life. >> oh, my gosh. >> we're happy to report this

man is out of the hospital and doing well. but once again another example of police never know what they're going to find when they walk up to a scene, where they're going to bust somebody or find a situation like this where they help somebody. >> jeff rossen, great stuff. thanks so much. and still ahead, a blast from the past.

this morning in "today's kitchen," celebrating cinco de mayo. it actually happens tomorrow but we want to get the party started early here at studio 1a. chrissy, nice to see you. >> nice to see you, thank you. >> tostadas, is this something you would traditionally have on cinco de mayo? >> definitely. it's a nice thing to have for a

party. do you want to go ahead and start? >> let's get started. >> first we'll take our corn tortilla. >> which is great because they're gluten free. >> exactly. >> and we're going to fry it up. it's super easy. just takes about maybe several minutes to get nice and colden and brown. and then you'll drain it on, you know, paper towels. >> so you start off with this. >> then we'll move over here and a good trick that we use is we have refried beans and we add ground churries and that adds amazing flavor to the bean mixture. >> you can go crazy and add some bacon, too. >> all right so another trick is to add about a tablespoon of beans on the plate first. >> so it doesn't move? >> exactly. >> like glue. >> yes, because the flying tost aud today. >> and then we'll put the

tostada directly down on it and you can create your own tostada. i'm going to add more of these bean mixture. and we'll just spread it in the middle. spread it all around. good. >> maybe that's a little too much. >> it looks good. >> okay. and then from here we can add our different toppings. so we have -- i'm going to add a little shredded lettuce which another trick is to toss it in a very robust vinaigrette which is really, really nice with the beans. nice combination. >> cooked beans? >> why not? and we have some beets that i'll throw on. you could do roasted chicken. a little tomato. and i'm going to finish off with a little grated parmesan cheese. >> oh. see and it's really fun. at parties it could be a tostada bar. >> let's head back here. >> back here, we have corn alotes. >> i've seen this. >> great. >> what is this? how does this work? >> it's a mexican term for corn

on the cob. you can have the whole corn but we've cut it into threes to make it a little more fun like a lollipop. first we'll start by mixing up the crema. we have sour cream and we'll throw in some heavy cream. a little bit of salt. and pepper. to give it some flavor. mix it up real quick. and then, you do a good job of that. so for these we're going to cover the elote with a crema, just really, easy, nice, quick. this is great for kids to do. >> mm-hmm. >> and then you're going to roll it. >> oh, jackson. how are you, bud? this is your son. >> my jackson. >> so we rolled it, and to finish it off you could do a little bit of chili powder, or i like to put hot sauce. it's a little messy but it's so delicious. >> nice. >> and then you can serve this as appetizer, side dish or even dessert. >> and then to finish off? >> we brought our koeg nut

margaritas. >> one for the kid, nonalcoholic. >> exactly. >> you want to put it in a different glass from the adults to pick anybody from picking up the wrong one. >> thank you. >> here we go. >> excellent. >> chrissy thank you so much. happy cinco de mayo. >> thank you. >> happy cinco de mayo. >> coming up with hoda and kathie lee, drinks on a diet. >> first your local news and weather. take the gamble out of stain removal.
