train and many treated on the scene, grateful to have escaped from a frightening accident underground. now i've traveled on that moscow subway, many of those tunnels are a long way down, which must make the rescue effort more difficult. and the numbers seem to climb every hour. officials are saying, matt and savannah, they do not believe this was terrorism. it does appear to be an accident. >> keir simmons, breaking news out of moscow this morning, thank you. here at home, they call it the polar invasion, millions in the midwest with some much cooler temperatures. across the east, heavy rains and flooding have led to rescues and a lot of traffic problems. nbc's ron mott is in minneapolis. ron, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, matt, good morning. they call these guys the boys of summer, but tonight when they hit the field, it's going to feel like the fall classic, october, the world series. that's how chilly it is, relatively speaking in minneapolis. take a look at last night, the home run derby, and people in

the stands were absolutely bundled up. they were surprised by how cool it got here last night. they set a record here last night, the high temperature, 66 degrees yesterday. that's the lowest high temperature in minneapolis on july 14th since 1884. that's 130 years. now today we're expecting temperatures to warm up to about 70. the game time temperature is going to be about 66 degrees or so. we're still 15 to 20 degrees below normal here. and of course, we are expecting this cooldown to last for a few more days and then warm right back up into the upper 80s or low 90s next week. that's the latest. back to you. >> ron mott in minneapolis, thank you very much. >> is that hot flashes or does that sound good right now? >> tmi. >> hormones, my dear. >> cold air caused massive thunderstorms last night. take a look at this picture right now. this was last night, that lightning bolt hitting the freedom tower. wow. i mean, lighting up the sky. and this cold polar air plunge

is going to be part of the problem. why we're going to be looking at more severe weather. 60 million americans going to be affected by this, as this warm, moist air mass meets this cooler, drier air mass. you're going to see severe storms, and so we've got a risk of severe weather. the rockies also here in the east from new england down into the carolinas, isolated tornadoes, dangerous wind, damaging hail and heavy rain. in fact, as this system pushes to the east, look for the rain to start firing up the heavy thunderstorms later this afternoon on into tonight and lasting possibly on into tomorrow morning. there's a lot of wet weather with this. of in fact, some areas 3 to 6 inches up through new england, generally, though, 1 to 2 inches along the eastern seaboard. and this polar invasion coming in. so right now, as ron mott told you, 55 in minneapolis. des moines, 55. chicago, 55 degrees. indianapolis, 56. high temperatures today are going to be anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees below normal. chicago will only get to 68.

proposal, and the rocketfire from gaza does not cease, and that appears to be the case now, we are prepared to continue and intensify our operation to protect our people. >> reporter: and hamas did reject it. they released a statement, calling it unacceptable. hamas' military wing warned its attacks will increase in verify rossty and intensity. overnight, two rockets hit israel's red sea resort, wounding four people. while troops pounded targets in gaza, killing two, bringing the total of palestinian dead to 194, most of them civilians. this morning in gaza, residents picked their way through the ruins. israel has destroyed more than 1,000 buildings, targeting, it says, hamas locations like rocket launching sites, secret tunnels and the homes of militant leaders. but they have been in hiding, below ground and unhurt.

and according to their spokesman this morning, ready to fight. hamas fired 58 rockets at israel after the cease fire should have started at 9:00 a.m. local time. israel took up to six hours before hitting back with what the army calls full force. now it does appear that the cease fire is over before it began. matt? savannah? >> martin fletcher, thank you very much. >> meantime, army sergeant bowe bergdahl now back on active duty, just over a month after his return to the united states. and for the first time, army investigators will be able to question him about his disappearance five years ago, and his years as a taliban captive. nbc's gabe gutierrez is at ft. sam houston this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. like any other soldier, sergeant bergdahl will be allowed to carry a weapon, although he won't likely need it in his new job. he'll be living in army barracks, among other soldiers. the army now calling him a regular soldier. but in the eyes of the public, he's anything but.

this morning, sergeant bowe bergdahl is back on active duty here in texas, about to settle into a new desk job. >> he's going to be immersed in a military population. it remains to be seen how receptive they will be to him and vice versa. >> military officials won't say exactly what bergdahl will be doing day to day, but they tell jim miklaszewski that for the first time investigators will question bergdahl directly over claims he deserted his outpost in afghanistan in 2009. >> we don't know what subsequently happened to him or what his intention was when he abandoned his combat unit. >> reporter: sandra andrews believes her son, second lieutenant darren andrews, was killed while searching for bergdahl. though military officials have said they have no evidence that anyone died specifically looking for him. >> he should not be free. he should not be resuming a normal military life after what he has done. >> reporter: after spending

nearly five years in captivity, bergdahl's release in exchange for five taliban militants from guantanamo bay triggered a wave of controversy. now for the first time since then, bergdahl will be free to leave the base when off duty, without a military or medical escort. >> now he's going to be able to walk out into the hot texas san antonio sun and do what he wants to do. and that is both incredibly liberating and incredibly scary. >> reporter: sergeant bergdahl would be eligible for back pay and leave, but since the army investigation is still under way, those benefits are on hold. matt and savannah, a pentagon source says that as far as military officials can tell, bergdahl still has not met with his parents. >> gabe gutierrez with an update this morning. thank you very much. >> natalie here with new developments tied to the heated immigration crisis. >> that's right. good morning to you guys. a group of honduran children is back home this morning after

throughout the day. all of these clouds will start to clear. we'll see plenty of mid-level clouds lingering, though, as we head throughout the afternoon, showers subside, clouds linger, humidity stays, but overall, your temperatures dropping by about 10 degrees from yesterday. that's 85 degrees for today in the south bay. >> and that's your latest weather. >> thank you, mr. roker. coming up, howard stern hosts matt and savannah live in his studio. get ready for that one, guys. but first this is "today" on nbc.

back at 8:35. he's known as one of the great spy novelists of our time. now best selling author daniel silva is heating up the summer with "the heist." it takes readers into the under

world of trafficking and espionage. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> i don't know how you turn these books -- how do you keep it fresh every time? >> i think that gabriel's very unique personality and skillset that he's an intelligence officer but he's also an art restorer. it allows me to take on very different types of material. so in this book, the last book he was trying to find the kidnapped mistress of the british prime minister. and in the next book, i'm able to do a plot where he's searching for one of the most iconic missing paintings in the world. the nativity. >> which this is actually true crime. it disappeared back in 1969. nobody knows whatever happened to it. >> a small chapel in palermo in sicily. no one but the thieves have seen it since. if you look at the fbi's list of most wanted missing paintings,

there's the nativity right at the top. i've always wanted to write about it. >> interesting. >> this book gives me the chance to do that. >> do you have any theories of where it may be? >> i believe it was probably stolen by a sicilian mafia. that it is probably still in sicily somewhere, but it's also possible that it leaked out and is in the hands of a collector some place. >> it is fascinating. what i love about your books and this book captures it as well, even though it is work of your imagination, there are some, you know, elements in it that are in the news today. so you really keep it current. >> gabriel follows the clues that lead him to a collector in the middle east and eventually into the heart of one of the most dangerous conflicts in the world. and that is the civil war in syria. and the link between the two is money. and i think that money has a great deal of sense to do with

what's going on in syria right now. >> given how popular the series is, i am surprised they're not movies yet. is that by your doing? >> probably. >> you're not ready to make it that movie? >> i've had many offers. i've actually sold a couple of the books a couple of times. but i'm really picky. this is something that i've been working on for 14 years. i have some great offers on the table. i wish i could speak more about them, but i can't. and i am confident that at some point soon there's going to be a very good gabriel movie. but he's my baby. >> it's hard to let go. >> it is. >> all right. well, i know that you love to give back and you like to share the spotlight a little bit as well. >> i love to. >> so you're going to help select great summer reads as well. you have three authors you picked. tell us about them. >> one is a nonfiction book. it is ben mcintyre's "a spy among friends."

then "terminal city" by linda fursteen. and then one by steven carter. going to be a great book. >> are you going to write all summer? >> i'm going to tour all summer. and then about mid-august i'll get to work on the next book. >> you keep churning them out. i don't know how you do it. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. the book is called "the heist." coming up next, buckle up because howard and savannah are sitting down with howard stern from his sirius xm studio. first this is "today" on nbc.

♪ we're at the headquarters of sirius xm radio and we're in howard stern's studio live. we've got the whole gang here. >> you know, matt, you have been brave enough to come on the show many times and we've had many good times. but savannah, to see you here -- >> i know. i've been afraid. i'll be honest. >> why the fear? i'm so lovable. i'm adorable on "america's got talent." >> you are adorable and i've always been attracted to you. >> shocking. >> here's the thing. matt says it's very crass. and i don't know if he's told you, but i'm kind of -- >> it's the opposite of what i've said. >> what do you imagine would be

your worst nightmare being here? >> you could be talking about all kinds of things that -- >> sexual things? >> definitely. frankly, anything related to the bathroom. bathroom humor. >> matt loves that. >> i know. what other kind of humor is there? >> if i say how many times you go to a bathroom a day, that would send you into a tizzy. >> yes. >> i'm interested in savannah because of your brain. i was just telling robin that you -- i didn't know this. she graduated number one from what college did you go to? where'd you get your law degree? >> my law degree, georgetown university law center. but i was not number one. >> weren't you the number one person to pass the bar. you got the highest grade on the bar in arizona? >> i did. >> you know one of the first days we worked together was the day of that historic supreme court decision on obamacare and remember how confusing it was? savannah sitting next to me? she looked at me and said i think really what's happening here is and then went out and

laid it out. i thought this is going to go well. >> truth me told, i know matt from the old days. he was the voiceover guy on hbo. he pretends to be smart, but you're actually smart. am i correct? >> i don't know. i don't know what to say. maybe we should talk about bathroom humor. it would be less uncomfortable. >> were you always the most brilliant in your school? >> no. i was quite the high school slacker. >> do you believe that, matt? >> she's the smartest one in the makeup room every morning. >> she's intimidatingly intelligent. >> i agree. >> with your pregnancy, when are you due? >> in mid-august. >> we all know pregnancy and morning television equals ratings. i think joan london was pregnant for six years. she just wanted to win. >> that was with one child. >> but do you worry? because we know and matt knows that everyone in television knows this, when you take a long vacation, anything can go wrong. you can lose your job. >> thank you. >> no seriously. do you worry about leaving the

"today" show? how long do you plan for maternity leave? would you take an hour, half a day? >> you know what? i've got plans. i'll be gone a couple months. >> months? oh! >> i think the show is going to be in great hands. >> you better warm up that law degree. who is taking over for you? >> i'm hoping to bond with our viewers before we go. i think the way to do that is to do a live birth on the "today" show. matt and i have been going to a lamaz classes. >> so everybody's going to coach you through this? >> yeah. we think set up the delivery room with gopros. >> i can't imagine a bigger nightmare than having matt and al in the delivery roonl. >> al would be inappropriate cracking jokes. >> she wants to bond with the viewers. i think the idea is to bond with the baby. >> yeah. you know what? i admire her. seriously. who is going to come in and replace you for a couple of

months do we have katie couric perhaps coming? she said there's no discussion about her replacing you for a couple months. you never know at nbc because they're tricky. they could bring her in. >> i think we may have a few surprises, but honestly natalie, hoda, tamron will primarily. >> who was the last one? tan mom? >> she's not going to fill in. >> i thought you said tan mom. that was something i'd watch. but there is paranoia in television. i would never go on vacation when i was on radio because i knew they could replace me at any minute. you don't worry about it? >> i don't. and i'm wishing we could have more awkward conversation about the bathroom and other things. i honestly don't. i feel the show is going to be in great hands. but the most important thing is i'm going to hold a new baby. >> will you be watching the

show? >> i don't know. i might be. >> of course she will. she's going to ruin the whole baby experience. sitting there pulling her hair out of her head. >> saying wow that girl's good. >> it would be great if you had the baby and then postpartum depression. a lot of women would relate to that. you could talk to all the experts. it would help you. >> this is the part i warned you about. >> savannah has the gorgeous, healthy baby. >> i'm there. >> you're all there. >> he's crashing the birth like crashing katie couric's wedding. >> savannah then has postpartum depression, comes back to the "today" show, kills matt on camera. >> with you so far. >> wouldn't that be amazing? >> it would be. you should program the "today" show. >> first of all, i want to welcome you to sirius xm radio. >> that's why you're here, yes. >> the best we could find is this is a twisted peppermint

body lotion. we have a half a bottle. that's for you. this is an autographed copy from gary delabote. you don't want that. and i'm going to autograph a picture of myself. >> meanwhile, i heard all kinds of whining and complaining about this challenge for charity. right? you know about this. either just pour the bucket of water -- first of all, i'm looking at the hair. i'm not sure i want to see that wet. i may actually challenge you, robin. >> i want to ask a serious question. what happened to morning television? i mean, matt loves -- i am friends with matt. we love to discuss politics. we love to talk about what's going on in the world. and now for crass ratings, matt's going to be doused in cold water. >> it already happened. >> oh, it did happen? >> yeah. >> it sounds horrible. >> it's part of the 8:00 hour. in the 7:00 hour we still do cover the news of the day, international, national, we do whatever we can. but there was the scene a few minutes ago. >> matt, does it bother you when you go home at night and you say

to your wife, you know what they did to me? they made me get doused in cold water. you know, i got to tell you something. it is such a shock to the nervous system to be doused in cold water. if that happened to me, i would behead them on live television. i would do that. that would be the end. >> are you saying you're turning down the challenge which means you have to make a donation to hospice of palm beach county. >> listen. i give to charity, but i am not getting sucked into your nightmare shore. >> it's going around. i got sucked into this, too, by greg norman, the famous golfer. >> i don't have to do anything. >> i'm going to force you to do this. >> so let's recap so we know where we're at. >> savannah's pregnant. >> about to get fired. >> do we know what we're having? >> no. we're keeping it a surprise. we do not know. >> you do know. >> i know. >> what are you having? >> i'm keeping it from savannah.

>> how would you know? >> her nurse called me. >> is your husband excited? >> yes. >> your first baby? >> and a natural childbirth? >> you know, i'd like to. if you're saying without pain medicine, no way. >> she won't even do the show without pain medicine. >> come on. >> i hope to god you already found a nanny so you are not really that involved. have you? >> i found someone to help out in the first couple months and i had a good friend give me a good recommendation. >> will you -- will the woman you hire be an illegal immigrant or -- >> absolutely not. by the book, howard. >> you will do it by the book? >> i got an "a" in tax. i can't mess with that. >> you will now be a mother that writes a book to say how difficult it is to have a baby and work. >> no. she's going to make it look easy and make everyone upset. >> one last question. do you secretly hope that when you are maternity leave the

ratings go down without you? >> we got to go. >> spoken like a lawyer. >> next time you're out to dinner, douse him in the water. >> then have a waiter do it. >> thank you for coming to sirius xm. excited to have you here. andy the way, savannah's water just broke. >> i'll deliver the baby. >> matt, let's deliver. get the cold water.

back now at almost 8:53 to do some cooking with giada. the five key items you should stock up on that could be lifesavers making meals. always good to see you. >> hi. did i trip you up, al? >> no. i'm always so nervous around you. the five items we should always have. >> to be a successful cook, you have to stock your pantry and your fridge. parmesan cheese, a must for me. lemons which you said you always have lemons and limes. chicken broth. it brings everything together and adds flavor. beans. i use cantalini beans. it doesn't matter. pick the beans your family likes. and olive oil. >> does it matter if it's extra virgin or all that stuff? >> well, i like extra virgin. does it really matter? to me it does for my taste buds. it's up to you and what you

like. all these five ingredients are in every one of these dishes. starting with the lemon pesto shrimp. i've got some extra large shrimp. what i like to do with them is make a poaching broth. chicken broth, there you go, white wine which i'm sure you have or at least you can borrow it from kathie lee, olive oil, t tarrag tarragon, and salt. poaching i think actually keep this fish very moist and flavorful. what i want you to do is take the shrimp and put it in there. bring all the ingredients up to a boil. add the shrimp right in there. make sure they're covered completely. this is how it's going to cook. then you turn off the heat. there we go. put the lid on. and you can take this off the burner if you want and let it sit eight to ten minutes. it seals in the flavor and keeps them moist. while that cools, you make the pesto. the basil, parsley, everything in here. you can add it all in there. parmesan cheese, lemon zest and

juice, and one garlic clove. and we are going to blend this all together just like that. and pulse it and then add the olive oil. a third of a cup of olive oil. i add it later just to bind everything together. using these ingredients. then you have a nice pesto that looks just like that. >> lovely. >> this is a great dish because you can make all the components ahead of time. what you can do, i'm going to put you to work. >> i love it. >> add it to the shrimp that were cooked and cooled. beans, celery, celery leaves, and a bit of parsley. there we go. these are great for the summer, i think. and you don't have to turn on your grill. then i take a ciabatta. you can use olive oil or butter.

take that and the shrimp and add it in there. hi guys. then have the parmesan cheese and lemon on the crust here. we have the bean topped with a little salad. and here salmon with the same mash. bean gives a great mash. >> thank you so mu good morning, everyone. 8:56. i'm scott mcgrew. a new chapter for the super hero, bat kid. a documentary called bat kid begins. filmmakers have launched a kickstarter fund to make a movie about it. "batkid begins" gives you a behind the scenes look at how san francisco made the little boy's wish come true. let's check your weather this morning with christina. >> we've got showers on the radar.

scott, take a look at this! steadily streaming in from the southeast, pushing to the northwest. and as we head throughout the day, we will lose this opportunity by around lunchtime. but you can see, just some light cells at this point, mostly in the south bay. as we get into your afternoon, temperatures are going to be more comfortable than yesterday, dropping those numbers by about 5 to 10 degrees from yesterday ice high of 85 in the south bay.

from nbc news this is "today's take" with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning, july 15th, 2014. good looking crowd on our plaza. i'm willie along with al, natalie, and tamron. it's soupy here today -- >> not in our studio. she has goose bumps right there. >> yes. freezing. >> we had a temperature sweet spot where we were all happy. and that doesn't happen often. men are usually wanting it more cold, women a little warmer

generalizing. and we hit this family sweet spot. then something happened. >> who are we to complain? because they're really complaining. >> that's right. because we've got all kinds of crazy weather. >> lightning and everything. >> the polar invasion, which to me, you envision a group of polar bears with ski masks and guns coming in like a james bond movie. >> we should make that graphic. >> temperatures dropped anywhere from 10 to 25 degrees below normal. you got the all-star game going on in minneapolis and folks were like, they're bundled up. they're wearing hoodies and sweatshirts. look at this. >> they refuse to buy the $180 hoodie that mlb is selling. these are it having people. they're like, what? >> it's crazy. so you got all that. and there was a rain delay during the home run derby. so check this out. this rainbow over target field.

>> that's fantastic. >> then you go out to colorado, about 50 miles north of denver, a massive hailstorm. >> isn't that crazy? >> i'm telling you, this is nuts. >> amazing that car gets through that without broken windshields. >> it's smaller hail. just so much of it. last night on the east coast, tremendous thunderstorms. check out this picture at 1 world trade center. >> wow. >> gorgeous to look at. don't want to be near it. >> as long as you're not up top changing the bulb. >> the taste of chicago was canceled for one day. they had flash flooding there. this is something we're going to be dealing with for a few more days. >> at least one more day. there was a music festival up in new york where woodstock '94 was. hundreds of cars literally got stuck in the mud.

they can't get out because of the cars. >> that's when the party starts. >> all right. >> i know what you meant. i know what you meant. >> thank you. >> i'm not sure. >> help me out here. i love this photograph. did you see this? showing al in new light last night. >> yes, we need the sound effect. >> this is a screen grab from one frame when they took you on "nightly news" with brian williams. a halo over your head. >> i think we should have that permanent effect around your head. >> i got a call from pope francis. >> the energy. >> and you performed a miracle. >> yes, i have. i've been right. >> a couple times. >> speaking of great photographs, this one's going viral. 16-year-old kid tom white in nebraska showing him, look at the background there. warren buffett and sir paul

mccartney just chilling on a bench in the dundee neighborhood of omaha. >> he's the coolest kid with this picture. >> mccartney in the area for a concert called up his friend for some dinner. we asked how that photo op came to be. >> so i posed, put my thumb up and he took the picture. it's been really crazy. had to keep scrolling. just notifications on twitter, instagram, facebook. i knew he was going to be in town. i knew the tickets were a lot of money so i put it out of my head. i'd rather have this photo than be at the show. >> he and his buddies dressed up as the beatles for halloween one year. he went out and followed the trail of social media. >> he's a social media detective. >> yeah. >> it's a completely different generation, still connected to the beatles and that music.

that's pretty cool. >> i love his advice. he's 15 and learned from this, just go for it. okay, 15-year-old taking risks and it paid off. >> i want to know what they had, what they were eating. i guess vanilla bean for sir paul and root beer float for warren buffett. >> classic. love it. >> it fits them. >> i haven't had a root beer float in years. >> now you're going to want one. >> we need a root beer float. >> we do. even though i've given up sweets for jill martin. >> that starts the first. >> let's get this planned. >> or we can make it with vinegar. i'm sorry. >> no. let's just do it before the first. okay. some great news for our buddy tracy morgan. new pictures of tracy now that he's out of rehab finally a month after that horrific car crash left him critically injured. his leg was broken, other severe injuries. but this is our first glimpse of our buddy.

this video was obtained exclusively by entertainment tonight. tracy was in good spirits outside of his home in new jersey. >> how you feeling? >> you look great. >> i feel strong. i love you. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> he's such a great guy. he's been on the show before. he's always sweet, always lovable. new dad. i mean, so much going on in his life when this accident happened. but it's great to see him flashing that smile and the peace sign. >> when the accident happened, he was in critical condition and then we kind of went dark on news about him for awhile. made you worry what was going on there. and he looks relatively good. >> his friend lost his life. when you hear the calls and all that, it's absolutely horrible. but when you see him there, we can't wait to see him back at the building and maybe sharing the story. >> other good news to report,

some uplifting news. remember boston bombing survivor and hero jeff baumann? he lost both of his legs in disaster. he has welcomed a baby girl. nora gayle baumann was born on sunday. he wrote everyone is happy and healthy. she looks just like the picture of perfection. >> so cute. >> and you know she's going to be so loved. what a miracle. >> congratulations to them. all right, al. let's get a look of the weather. what's going on? >> we're going to take a little more of an in-depth look. show you what's happening as far as this severe weather is concerned. first of all, we've got that cold plunge of polar air coming out from canada. but we've also got this warm moist flow. that's why it's so humid in the northeast and mid-atlantic states and all along that line we're going to see severe storms developing during the late morning, early afternoon hours. we've got severe storms out around denver.

also from boston all the way down into the carolinas, risk of damaging winds, hail, heavy rain. as this system pushes in. this cold front, this is the reinforcing cool air that's already invaded the midwest. it comes east late today on into tonight. more heavy thunderstorms by tomorrow. so with all this rain, we've got flash flood watching up and down the eastern see board. two to six inches of rain depending where you are. plus this cooler air. this is that polar invasion coming in. right now it's 60 in minneapolis, 59 in des moines. 52 marquette. indianapolis, 60 degrees. highs today are still only going to be anywhere from 10 to 25 degrees below normal. chicago struggling good morning to you. the time now, 9:08. showers continue to stream up from the south, pushing to the north. at this point, though, a lot of that activity is winding down. you can see just a few flashes

of green here. overall, cloudy sky for most of the bay area, but temperatures, because of those clouds, are going to end up about 10 degrees cooler for today. the showers will subside, but those clouds are going to linger for the most part all day long. 81 in the north bay, 85 for the south bay, 83 on the peninsula. the hot spot, out in the tri-valley for today, 91 degrees. >> and that's your latest weather. >> thanks a lot. coming up next, a couple of fashion gurus who know how to make it work. heidi klum and tim gunn from "project runway." i hear we have a challenge from them. >> make it work? >> who's got a hot glue gun!

that you had a hand in helping them get there. >> well, for me to be perfectly honest, i'm barely witness to this great talent. and that's what my sense of pride happens to be. i don't today any credit for any of their success. just as i don't take credit for any of their failures. they really are a talented group. >> 13 seasons is a long time for any tv show, but for a reality group, this gets better. >> and we still have our fans of the show. we try to make it exciting for everyone. coming up with great challenges, great twists. tim said already this morning when we're done here he has to go back to the work room and give them a twist. and they're not going to like it. >> oh. >> they're not going to like it. >> what's it going to involve? >> more work for them. no more time and no more budget. i tell them every day. >> where's that come from? we love your catch phrase.

>> it's what i used to say to my students when they felt they were stuck. i would say make it work. you have to. take the existing conditions and turn them around. >> so that's kind of what's going to happen to us today? we have to make it work in a challenge. is that what it is? >> make it work. >> do we get all the details of it? >> we're pairing off. you and al against me and natalie. we're going to walk over here and tim's going to give us instruction. >> you don't have a lot of time. >> what are we creating? >> it's a secret. >> let's see what you can do. >> so we have craft store goodies. >> we don't even know where we're going. >> what are we doing? we have to make this look like an outfit? >> it should be whatever you want to make. your point of view as to designers. it's a collaboration effort. >> here we go. are we good?

>> go. >> we need a hot glue gun. >> we want to create a structure. >> give me a belt. >> structure. maybe off the shoulder. >> then remember the idea here. >> you want those on the front? >> got back. >> oh, that's nice. >> we need a glue gun that works. >> are you sure? >> yes. >> don't make it look like a bra. >> how do you do that? >> there you go. make your belt. >> maybe we mix our metals. >> maybe. >> these scissors are bum. >> this is not good. >> this one. >> okay. >> three, two, one.

>> this is your golden globe outfit, heidi. >> i have to say it's better than what i expected. for one minute, you guys are pretty good. i don't know if i can pick a winner here. >> oh, wow. >> because they're both so bad. >> yeah. there are no oners. >> the bow on the back. >> it's lovely. >> you we want for metallics as a theme. >> uh-huh. that's it? >> yeah. >> that's all you got? >> i'm impressed with the draping. i really am. >> i think for a minute you guys did a pretty good job. >> she gave us the stock suburban answer. we're all winners. thank you heidi and tim. thank you. by the way, new season of "project runway" is on -- >> did we win? >> we won. >> tim likes the draping. >> what? >> it's a combination of

probiotics has far outshown the legs we have to put things on. you'll see claims for helping you lose weight or helping you fight cancer. we don't have enough information for that kind of thing yet. but the number one thing to remember when it comes to probiotics is there are many strains of them. you want to take the strain that helps what you're trying to target. >> and it's in foods as well. we've got samples here. there are wades to add the foods in not necessarily taking a supplement. are you getting enough? >> exactly. so the easiest -- one of the easiest and quickest ways is always taking a supplement or pill for something. but there are foods that you can take. there are dairy products that you can take like yogurt is something. it's the number one thing that comes to people's minds. scientists found that dairy and probiotics work together well in your system. >> greek yogurt, right? >> you can have the greek yogurt, that's fantastic. that's great for people that are

lactose intolerant. but you can also look for pickled foods, fermented foods. we have an example there. sauerkraut, kimchi, miso. one thing you want to keep in mind is you're not adding heat to these things. we don't want to kill them. we need them live in our bodies. you want to be mindful of that when eating these foods. >> what am i looking for on the label? what do i want? >> even if yogurt has probiotic, if it's not alive, it's not going to give you that benefit. so you are looking for that word live and active cultures. you want to make sure it's added after pasturization. because that's the only way for it to survive. >> are there any concerns?

>> we're look at individuals with a compromised immune system, premature babies. talk with your physician before you actually are going to start taking a probiotic supplement. other than that, we should all be including these in our diet. they happen to be in healthy foods. >> thank you, ladies, so much. good information. we're back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.

>> hi. how are you guys? >> good. thank you. how do we look? >> you look great. just great. how do i look? >> you look really great. a little fuzzy, but good. >> so this is super easy for anyone to do. everyone's got to have an account. you have to sign up for an account. you register your user name, password, and free skype-to-skype calls. if you want to call a land line, there's very competitive international fees. you can use it for regular phone calling as well. >> you look great. thank you. all right. so one thing i love because it's so easy on the iphone is facetime. you hit one button. >> that i can do. >> the person pops up. >> but they're not always available. >> yeah, sometimes. >> sometimes i'm not available either. >> like you choose not to be available. >> so your daughter is on facetime? >> yes. >> let's see her. hey! >> hi. >> how old are you? >> i'm 9.

>> oh, my gosh. >> is she in los angeles? >> no, she's in canada, up north with my parents. so this is, again, a free call only available for apple-to-apple devices. you have to have a current device with a camera. show them your cast. she just broke her arm. >> oh, no. are you all right, sweetheart? >> she's okay. >> what's great is i wanted to show a girlfriend a dress. you can go, my god, does this work, i don't know? >> you do that? >> yeah, because it helps. they go, no, that's the wrong color. you look terrible in that. >> you can show someone your screen so you can say, i'm having trouble with this on my computer. they can help you. >> we have to run, but gif. what is it? >> there's a raging debate about whether it's gif or jif. apparently the owner who invented it, it used to be the standard image for the internet. he says it's gif, graphics interchange format. what's cool about it, real

quick, we made a little video. >> we were dancing. >> there you are. what happens is you can animate it. it's an image -- >> why am i the only one? i can see your hands. >> it's five seconds. when you speed it up and make it loop back and forth, it does that. >> kyle does that on our show a lot, and we look really stupid. >> thanks a lot, kyle. >> all right. it's the appetizer everybody's going to want. >> we're making cheeseballs. you voted for them. first, this is today ted on nbc.

talk about cheesy. we're back in "today's" kitchen. we're making cheeseballs that will steal the show at your next party. >> don't worry if you don't eat dairy. we have recipes for you too. michelle is the author of "great balls of cheese." what did everyone vote on? >> everyone voted for the owl

and the cat. i think they were a close tie. we're going to start with the owl. we have some cream cheese in a bowl. it's softened so it makes it easier to stir. that's cheddar, shallots and salt. dump it all in there. stir it up. you can use white cheddar or orange. whatever you have. then that's some wore chester sauce and dijon mustard. you mix it all up. >> look what it comes out like. >> it goes quickly. once it's mixed up, you wrap it in plastic and shape it while it's in the plastic so you won't get too messy. for the owl, you want it to be a little bit of an egg shape. refrigerate it for about two hours or overnight. then we're going to decorate the owl. >> with the almonds? >> yes, with almonds. stick the almonds in for the feathers. some of them are added. it takes a few minutes to all them all. you want to add them all around. these are the eyes. to make the eyes, it's just an olive.

reserve a little bit of cream cheese mixture to use as a glue to stick the olive on a round cracker. they go right on there. >> very, very cute. >> the beak is just from carrots. so are the feet. those are the little ears. they stick right on top. just corn chips. >> i'm so into this right now. >> that owl is adorable. very cute. >> don't you want to bring that to a party? >> that's darling. >> so this is our cat. it looks like a cat, but it tastes -- it's nacho flavors. if you like taco dip or nachos, you'll love this. the cheese mixture has cumin and salt and cheese. the carrots are these carrots for the stripes. the eyes are already on there, but you make the mouth out of oliv olives. stick it on there. just make a little mouth. >> hoda! >> so how about whiskers? whiskers will be easier.

just stick them out the side. >> i apologize to the little whatever it was. >> i actually made this one. this is the one i made. >> here are the whiskers. the tail is the carrot. >> that's so cute. >> what's happening down here at the end? >> so i made some dairy-free cheeseballs just for you. >> wow. dairy free? okay. >> this one is made from cashews. you soak them for a couple hours or overnight. >> in water? >> just in water. drain them. it softens them up. you stick them in a blender. >> then what do you do with them after? >> add a little bit of wine. >> oh, good. >> of course. >> then we're going to have to run. just buput that in the blender, wrap it up. >> thank you for your cheeseballs. >> all the recipes
