Who treated prince in the days before he died. His onetime Medical Center saying he is no longer an employee. As Police Return to paisley park in search of more clues. And the rock. Surrounded by sharkinfested waters, alcatraz was once an island prison thought to be escape proof. One man has managed his way out, and hes on the loose today. Wednesday, may 11th, 2016. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. Al roker continues this tour of our National Parks. Exactly. Hes been to wte sands, now were sending him to prison. Hes in front of alcatraz this morning. Hey, al. Hey, guys. Thats right, one of the most feared prisons in the world, from 1934 to 1963. Alcatraz federal penitentiary. Ten years later, 1973, becomes a National Park. Now, its just unbelievable to see how popular it is. Well have a complete tour coming up a little later. Guys . Al, see you in a little bit. We want to start with our top story. The breaking news in massachusetts, where authorities are investigating a stabbing rampage at a mall and a home near boston. Nbcs joe fryer has the latest on all this. Joe, what happened . Reporter good morning, matt. Police are trying to figure out what drove a man to go on this wild stabbing spree. It started at a nearby home and ended here at the mall. In all, three people are dead, including the attacker. Reporter inside this shopping mall, a grizzly scene. Two people viciously stabbed, the attacker brought down by a bullet from an off duty sheriff deputys gun. If it hadnt have been for his heroic actions, there could have been more loss of life this evening. Reporter police say the suspect, arthur derosa, rammed a car into the Macys Department store before running into the Silver City Galleria maul, in tautton, massachusetts, creating total chaos. After assaulting several people, he made his way to bertuccis. Grabbing a knife, derosa stabbed two victims, killing a 56yearold man. Witnesses ran for their lives. I was shopping. I didnt know what was going on, so everybody started running, including the macys employees. We started running. Reporter the attack, with no clear motive, began after derosa crashed a different car near a home a few miles from the mall. 270 myrick street and birch avenue for multiple stab victims. Reporter investigators say he stabbed two people inside the home. One of the victims, an 80yearold woman, later died from her wounds. Officials say the attack doesnt appear to be terror related. This morning, there are new questions about the suspects mental health. In a statement to nbc news, darosas cousin said he was feeling suicidal and admitted to a local hospital but released tuesday morning. The says they stated he was fine, but obviously wasnt. I believe if he was better evaluated, the situation may not have happened. The surviving victims were all taken to a hospital. Their conditions have not been released. Authorities did say one of the stabbing victims suffered lifethreatening injuries. So far, officials havent identified the hero officer. Joe fryer, thank you so much. Joe, thanks so much. To the president race. Bernie sanders says he is in it to win it after defeating clinton by double digits in West Virginias primary. But that victory did little to dent clintons nearly insurmountable lead in the delegate count. With no more challengers in his way, Presumptive Republican nominee, donald trump rolled to victories in West Virginia and nebraska, setting to stage for a key meeting on capitol hill tomorrow. In a moment, well talk to senator marco rubio, trumps former rival. Lets begin with hallie jackson. Good morning to you. Good morning. Donald trump is acknowledging those wins in West Virginia and nebraska, but he is already looking ahead. Not just to tomorrows key meetings here on the hill, but to who he may pick as his running mate. Trump now insisting he wont announce his pick until the convention in july. Reporter usually quick with an insult calling him lying ted. Little marco. Crooked hillary. Reporter donald trump has only praise for paul ryan hes a good man, wants whats good for the party. I think well have very positive results. Reporter the candidate is complimentary now trying to smooth the path ahead of tomorrows meetings on capitol hill. Dont expect a kumbaya moment. Sources close to the House Speaker caution itll be a process. Telling nbc ryan wants to see trump commit to con sempbtive principles and to bringing republicans together. It was a very, very bitter, divisive primary. Itll take more than a week just to repair and unify this party. Reporter ryan down playing expectations, returning to capitol hill. So is ted cruz for the First Time Since dropping out. Ruling out a thirdparty run, but keeping his options open. If circumstances change, we will always assess changed circumstances. Reporter and withholding an endorsement of trump. There will be plenty of time for voters to make the determination who theyre going to support. Reporter despite big differences on policy, another former rival, marco rubio, says he will back trump. Seemingly begrudgingly. I dont want Hillary Clinton to win. As i said, i want to be supportive of the republican nominee. I signed a pledge saying i would do so. Reporter rubio dismissed talk of the vp job. Trump narrows his list of potential running mates, including allies, chris christie. I like chris a lot. Im not going to say ruling in or not. I would say that i have in mind five different people. I think theyre excellent. Reporter looking to november, Hillary Clinton clearly ready to take trump on. I am looking forward to debating donald trump come the fall. Reporter clinton now getting her strongest show of support yet from the white house. Vice President Joe Biden stopping short of an endorsement, but just barely. I feel confident that hillary will be the nominee, and i feel confident shell be the next president. From the white house now to capitol hill, where we expect to hear from speaker ryan later today, ahead of those meetings with trump. And trump finds himself in a new controversy. While his Campaign Says it tried to get a prominent White Nationalist off its list of potential delegates in california, the secretary of States Office tells us, it is too late to do that. Savannah . Hallie jackson on the hill for us, thank you. As we said, senator marco rubio joins us exclusively. Senator, nice to see you. Good morning. Morning. Let me see if i can clear something up. You have said youre going to uphold your pledge, the pledge you signed to support the eventual nominee of the republican party. That appears to be donald trump. But when pressed on one question, would you vote for donald trump, you didnt seem to be able to make yourself say yes, ill vote for him. Will you say that now . Well, i mean, obviously, this is the quandary everybody finds themselves in. At least who holds my perspective. On the one hand, the party nominated someone ill have strong differences with, both on policy and deep reservations on the way hes conducted his campaign. On the other hand, the only other choice on the ballot is someone i have more policy disagreements with. And reservations about. As a candidate, i signed a pledge to support our nominee, thats what i intend to do. What does support mean . Give me a definition. Will you stand on a tv show like this and say, im keeping my pledge, or does it mean youll go to the convention and speak on his behalf, or go in the booth and vote for him . Well, first of all, obviously as a voter in florida, support would mean the ultimate way for the primary way people support candidates in this country is to vote for them. In terms of what i intend to do throughout the campaign, i would just say i think donald trump would be best served by having people working on his behalf, that agree with him on these Public Policies and that are enthusiastic about his campaign and enthusiastic to support the things he stood for. My reservations about him have been clearly stated and they remain unchanged. You were explicit during your campaign about some of your concerns. You said he was an embarrassment. You were fearful at the prospect of his hand on the nuclear codes. You said he wasnt a republican, not a conservative, that hed lose to Hillary Clinton. I know you want to stick by your pledge, but are you exalting that piece of paper over these fears you say you still have for the country with donald trump as the nominee . Sure. The only other choice then would be to vote for Hillary Clinton or abstain, both supportive of her. I have more policy differences with her and am more scared of her being in control of the u. S. Government and continuing the status quo of barak obamas policies. I think its clear, that this is the position obviously, i didnt want us to be in. Donald trump wasnt my first choice. I ran for president and did the best i could. It didnt work out, and Republican Voters chose a different direction. I have to respect the result, even if im not the even though it is not necessarily the one i wanted. I think, clearly, youre describing here the quandary, choice, that millions of republicans not just me but millions of republicans across the country are trying to grapple with. But for you it seems like youre being loyal and you should be applauded for that that youre sticking to this pledge, but youre going to be leaving the senate. You say you dont want to run for governor in florida in two years. So its possible for you to put politics aside right now and take some kind of a principled stand and say, no, everything i said during the campaign i still believe. I can not support this guy. First of all, everything i said during the campaign, i still believe. But what youre leaving out of that is, you have to make a choice. You dont have a choice anymore between 17 people or even 5. For voters in florida in november, the choice is going to be, if you want to legitimately vote to elect a president , itll be between Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Or abstaining. If i as a republican abstain or vote for Hillary Clinton, thats support for her. I am not going to support Hillary Clinton. To put it bluntly, senator rubio, do you want donald trump to win . Do you hope in your heart of hearts that he wins and assumes the presidency . Look, again, all of the policy differences i have with him remain. All of the reservations i have about his campaign remain. I clearly didnt want us to be in the position we are today. I was a candidate for president who tried to be the nominee myself. It didnt work out. I dont want Hillary Clinton to win. Donald trump is the only other choice on the ballot. I recognize that. I have a pledge to support the nominee on top of it. I intend to keep it. What i dont intend to do is spend the next six months taking shots at donald. Whether we like it or not, hes earned the right to make his case to the american people. He earned it at the ballot box, and ill respect that. Senator marco rubio, nice to spend time with us this morning. We appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. Tomorrow on today, former Vice President dan quayle speaks out about this race for the first time when he joins us in studio 1a for a live interview. Another round of tornadoes. On tuesday. This one causing significant damage in mayfield, kentucky. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is following it all. He is in oklahoma this morning. Gabe, good morning. Reporter savannah, good morning. The cleanup effort here in oklahoma is in full swing. This as the states governor declared states of emergency in 15 counties. All this as millions more throughout the country are preparing for yet another round of potentially severe thunderstorms later today. Reporter this morning, western kentucky is cleaning up after two tornadoes touched down. One of them sending residents in mayfield running for cover. We heard loud noises and the glass crashing. We dove into the washroom and stayed there until the noises stopped. Reporter homes leveled, trees toppled, lives shattered. You could hear it. It sounded like it was right over the building. Reporter today, seven states are on high alert for more potential Severe Weather, after this weeks string of ferocious tornadoes. Oh, god look out. Reporter oklahomas governor declaring a state of emergency in 15 counties. Two people were killed. Please dont hit that barn. Oh, my god.

Now today, a lot of people are bracing for the potential of Severe Weather. The swath of the country extends from north texas up through the midwest. Right now, there are reports of flooding underway in tennessee, just north of nashville. Matt and savannah . Tough times there. Gabe gutierrez, thank you. Some of the video out of that region the last couple days is horrifying, and our thoughts are with the people there. Several new twists in the investigation into princes death. Authorities were back at his home in minnesota last night and a minnesota doctor who wrote prescriptions for the pop star has now been identified. Nbcs Stephanie Gosk has the latest on all that. Hi. Good morning. Good morning. It had been quiet here the last couple weeks at paisley park, until late yesterday when a line of police vehicles, about a dozen or so investigators, entered the compound. It happened after a warrant for princes medical records was released publicly, showing that the pop star had been getting medical treatment here in minnesota from a local doctor. Up until the day before he died. Reporter according to a search warrant, a minneapolis area doctor was at princes home to deliver test results the morning he died. The document indicates dr. Michael todd schulenberg, seen in this video made for a local university, examined prince twice. Once on april 7th, before princes plane made an Emergency Landing in illinois. Whats the nature of the emergency . Whats the nature of the medical condition . Unresponsive passenger. Reporter and again on april 20th, the day before he died. According to the warrant, dr. Schulenberg told police he prescribed medications for prince, and the unspecified prescriptions were filled at a walgreens. Investigators interviewed dr. Schulenberg and sought records related to prince from an area Medical Centers. Schulenberg says he works with north memorial clinic. He is a family physician. That hospital says he is no longer an employee there. Schulenbergs lawyer is not commenting. Late tuesday, police were seen at princes paisley park home. The Carver County sheriff tweeting detectives were revisiting the scene as a component of a complete investigation. Offering no further details. The warrant does not say what the medications were that prince was prescribed or whether he took them. The toxicology report could shed some light on that. Its still not complete, and theres still no official cause of death. Stephanie, thank you very much. First test of Futuristic Technology that could revolutionize transportation is happening in nevada. Dubbed the hyperloop. This was proposed by elon musk. Nbcs Gadi Schwartz is in las vegas. This is the first public test of the technology. Good morning, savannah. Thats right. This right here is Hyperloop One. The idea eventually is to put people, to put cargo, in specialized pods, and then put them in airtight tubes like this and shoot them for hundreds of miles, all at the speed of sound. To put this in perspective, l. A. To San Francisco takes six to seven hours. This would take 30 minutes. Reporter faster than a speeding bullet train. More powerful than an airplane. Thats what elon musk was hoping for when he unveiled his idea for the hyperloop in 2014, 2013. Sparking a Competition Among rival if i recalls to build the first working model. Later this morning, one of the companies will unveil its version in the las vegas desert and demonstrate how it works. Hyperloop is immediate, safe, efficient and sustainable. Reporter it is presenting a 10foot long sled, reaching 250 350 Miles Per Hour in just two seconds they say. Well do this well and take the design, build two kilometers worth of it, put it inside of a tube and accelerate a vehicle thats about ten times heavier to a speed thats about twice as high. By the end of the year, well hit our kitty hawk moment and hit the fullscale test. Itll handle a cargo of people. Reporter some skeptics call it impractical. In terms of moving people over Long Distances. Elon musk isnt associated with any specific company, but he has a contest among College Students to design and build a hyperloop pod. Other competitors are working on their own prototypes, all players in a race to zoom us into the future of travel. If this test is successful, Hyperloop One might be in the lead. We believe were the one company that is actually building this, not just talking about it. Were showing it today with the live test of our propulsion system. In a few hours, Hyperloop One promising to unveil the Technology Thatll make all of this work. There is a lot of excitement. Still a lot of skepticism. One big question, what to do in an earthquake. Matt and savannah, back to you. Thats a good question. We have so many questions, gadi, but its exciting to see. Thank you. Let us head back to al in San Francisco for a check of the weather before his big tour of the National Parks. Al . Thats right, guys. Weve got a lot of Severe Weather going on.

Januvia sitagliptin is a oncedaily pill that, along with diet and exercise, helps lower blood sugar. Januvia works when your blood sugar is high and works less when your blood sugar is low, because it works by enhancing your bodys own ability to lower blood sugar. Plus januvia, by itself, is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar hypoglycemia . Januvia should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Tell your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis. Serious side effects can happen, including pancreatitis which may be severe and lead to death. Stop taking januvia and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area which may be pancreatitis. Tell your doctor right away and stop taking januvia if you have an allergic reaction that causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or affects your breathing or causes rash or hives. Kidney problems sometimes requiring dialysis have been reported. Some people may develop severe joint pain. Call your doctor if this happens. Using januvia with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. To reduce the risk, your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of the sulfonylurea or insulin. Your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment to check your kidneys. If you have kidney problems a lower dose may be prescribed. Side effects may include upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, and headache. For help lowering your blood sugar talk to your doctor about januvia.

Investigators are trying to figure out why a man went on a stabbing spree that ended in chaos in a massachusetts mall. The 28yearold, arthur darosa, began his rampage by crashing a car and then forcing his way into a house, stabbing two people, killing an elderly woman. Next, he drove to a mall, crashed into a store and stabbed several more people, one fatally. He was shot and killed by an off duty deputy. A cousin said darosa had been feeling suicidal and had sought medical treatment. A week after suspending his campaign for president , ted cruz returned to his job in the senate but appeared to keep his options open on tuesday, saying hed assess the situation if circumstances changed. Cruz also withheld an endorsement of donald trump as the republican nominee. Trump meanwhile is preparing to meet with House Speaker paul ryan, also refusing to endorse him at this time. Earlier on today, former trump rival senator marco rubio said he had differences with trump but he stands by his pledge to support the partys choice. What i dont intend to do is spend the next six months, by the way, taking shots at donald. Whether we like it or not, he earned his opportunity to make his case to the american people. They said it at the box, and ill respect it. Hes more afraid of clinton being in control. Surveillance video shows a worker fall more than three stories in philadelphia.

My dentist has told me your enamel is wearing away, and that sounded really scary to me, and i was like well can you fix it, can you paint it back on, and he explained that it was not something that grows back, its kind of a onetime shot and you have to care for it.

We move on to more of our special series, celebrating 100 years of the National Park series. Al is there in San Francisco bay, where he visited one of americas most popular National Parks, alcatraz island. Hey, al. Hey, guys. How you doing . Right there, you can see the city of San Francisco. A mile and a half away is alcatraz. This prison was feared not just in this country but all around the world. People said if you broke the rules, you went to prison. If you break the rules in prison, you end up in alcatraz. Reporter its a place as mysterious today as it was 50 years ago. Alcatraz, a federal prison from 1934 to 1963. Locking away some of the countrys most notorious criminals. Al capone was here. He played the banjo in the prison band. James Whitey Bulger ent three years here when he was 30. Just about the same time as the infamous bird man of alcatraz, robert stroud. Alcatraz, still escape proof. Reporter promising to be inescapable. Who are the prisoners that came to alcatraz . People at alcatraz got in trouble at other prisons. Reporter hes been a park ranger for more than 20 years. What was it about this place that made it so escapeproof . For one thing, you have water, cold water surrounding this island. Strong current . Thats right. You had one guard to every three con vicks here on the island. Reporter most inmates lived on what they called broadway. Is this the infamous broadway. This is the infamous broadway. If you were a prisoner on the island this is where your first home would be. Reporter Haunting Images often seen in movies, even today. Hollywood, helping build the mystique about alcatraz. Welcome to alcatraz. Reporter escape from alcatraz was based on the reallife escape of three inmates in 1962. They got through the utility corridor. How do they cut through . We believe they used spoons. They got from the mess hall and they also used a drill they made from a vacuum cleaner motor. Their bodies never found. Questions even today. Was it the perfect escape . Bill baker served time here in his 20s for cashing fraudulent checks. Today hes an author and celebrity on the rock. You think they made it to the mainland . I keened of think they did. Reporter potentially escaping both the prison and its hardened inmates. Everybody who came here with the exception of a few came here for breaking rules. We had already been in the hole maybe a dozen times, broke a lot of rules. We were a bunch of hardheaded convicts before we got here. Reporter baker served time at the rock with another legend of alcatraz, robert stroud, the bird man, kept in solitary. I got to know him very well. He was a sociopath, i would say. Reporter george spent nearly a decade as a gafford at the rock, watching over the bird man. I would put a little table about two or three feet high, and a checker board on top. I put a chair in front of it and robin and i used to play checkers, one or two hours at the most. Im not proud to admit it, but i did do that. Reporter ranger bennie took me to the d block where the bird man spent a lot of time. This is the hole where you were locked in that cell. One of these cells here, up to 19 days. Not a place youd want to be. Reporter as brutal as alcatraz was known to be, some inmates actually requested it. Why . You got your own cell. Whitey bulger reportedly was a fan. He may have come back as a tourist while on the run from the fbi. This photo surfacing of him and his girlfriend, believed to be from the 1990s. There was a rumor in the 90s, he came back for a visit as a tourist. Do you think he would have done Something Like that . Absolutely. Reporter really . Oh, yeah. Reporter if bulger did come back, it was easy to slip in. Thats because since opening in 1973, alcatraz has become one of the most popular National Parks with more than a million visitors each year. Sure, they come to hear about the legends of the rock, but also the incredible history, as well. It was occupied by native american protesters in the 1970s before becoming a National Park. Now, its a bird sanctuary, too. Home to more than 10,000 sea birds. The birdman of alcatraz himself just may have approved. We were really thrilled to get a little behind the scenes here at alcatraz. In fact, so much so, i almost ended up spending the night. They took my mug shot and were prepared to book me. Thats not a good look. By the way, guys, there is a little today show connection to alcatraz. You see the building there, right by the light house . Thats the wardens quarters. Back in the 50s, the warden was interviewed live on the today show by Dave Garraway at that building. Wow. Its kind of a neat little bit of history with the today show and alcatraz. Very, very cool. Al, while youre there, can we ask you to do double duty . How about a check of the weather . Absolutely. I had to be here anyway. Lets show you what we have got going on. Again, were talking about heavy rain, thunderstorms, isolated tornadoes possible, stretching from the plains all the way back into the Mississippi River valley. We do have a risk of severe storms, including an enhanced risk from abilene to fort smith. 23 Million People at risk for strong storms. And weve got a lot of dense fog in the Mississippi River valley, chicago right now, ground stop at ohare. Thats whats going on around we are still looking at some low clouds and fog. Starting out this morning in parts of the bay area. A live look now at the golden gate bridge. We will have some low visibility in spots for a little while longer, but then the skies will quickly clear. Were now in the mid50s all across the bay and looking at 84 degrees in los gatos today as well as gilroy. 73 degrees in redwood city, while we have some upper 60s on the embarcadero. 87 degrees in fairfield, hayward 77 and dublin today a high of 83 degrees. Guys, in the next half hour, we continue our celebration of the National Parks. Leila, my 17yearold, and i did a little camping trip to sequoia, not far from here. Well show you that coming up. Looking forward to that. Thank you very much. Look whos here, Meredith Vieira. Shes spent a lot of time with chimp attack survivor charla nash. Ive seen her several times over the years. I absolutely love her. Shes probably the most inspirational person i ever met. She had numerous surgeries and the Ground Breaking face transplant. Just recently, charla was back in the hospital when her body began to reject that transplant. Im so excited to see you again. Me, too. Reporter to see her progress close up is truly remarkable. I cant tell you sitting across from you how dramatic the difference is. Ive come a long way. Reporter she sure has. If you know charla nash, youd expect nothing less, despite a recent setback. Doctors discovered your body seemed to be rejecting the face transplant. Can you tell us what happened . Well, this one biopsy said a slight rejection. Reporter the rejection came after charlas participation in a military funded study. The purpose was to wean you off medication because of the side effects. Your dad was in the air force. Why was it important for you to be a part of the study . Well, it would help all the servicemen and women. But the study is not a failure. Its a success. Weve learned so much from all my testing. Reporter luckily, charlas face will be fine, relying on the treatment of medication she took before. Its been a long road for charla nash since the attack seven years ago. Hes killing my friend. Who is killing your friend . The chimpanzee. Reporter her nose, mouth, eyelids were ripped off by the 200pound pet chimpanzee. The vicious mauling left charla nash permanently blind. We first met a month after the attacks. Her face was destroyed but not her resilience. I just want to get better. Reporter following countless medical procedures, doctors at bostons brigham and Womens Hospital performed the first ever double hand and face transplant. The hands failed to thrive but her face was a success. Can you touch your face your thumb . Do you ever do that, just to feel it . I can touch it. I am touching my skin. Reporter today the results were profound. Did you believe back then youd ever reach this point . I never thought id do it like this. Reporter fiercely independent, charla lives on her own. I know you have somebody coming in monday through friday to help out and aid. Saturday and sunday youre on your own. Why was that so important in terms of your recovery . Ive always been independent. As far as the help, i have just what i need. Reporter she even gets out and about, using a transport service for the disabled. What does that mean to you, because you could have just decided im going to stay in my house, wait for the aide to come every day. I dont want to go out. You feel like youre almost normal. You feel like youre a person again. Reporter a person who loves a bargain. And charla took me to one of her favorite shopping destinations. They all know her at sabres and love her, too. You want to start at jewelry . Yes. Come on over here. Reporter she cant see, charlas sense of style is as strong as ever. Ill try this one. Reporter so is her generosity. I bought this for you. You bought the star for you. Youre my star today. Reporter charla, youre my star. Thank you. Reporter shes grateful for everything but struggles with expenses. I wish i had more care but im thankful for what i do have. Reporter youre stubborn, independent. Youre strongminded and you have a great sense of humor. Am i right on all of those . Yes. And im ready. I want to ride horses again. Reporter do you think you will . I will. Reporter despite unimaginable challenges, charlas spirit is unbreakable. And she finds joy at every turn. Whats your favorite time of day . Morning, i think. Reporter why is that . I hear the birds singing. I can feel the sun. Another good day. Lets get started. Charla is learning to use a new robotic arm which will help her manage every day tasks. Shes considering to moving back to connecticut where she can be close to her beloved daughter. She just got her masters degree, which sin credible. I know charla is watching. Thank you for my star. I told you id wear it. I did. Ive known you a long time and ive never seen you react to someone the way you reacted to charla. Well, look what happened to her. And the courage shes displayed over these seven years and the determination to just stick with it and every day is a new day for her and i dont know, ive never met somebody like that. Its impressive. She has a great sense of humor when people say to her, you look great. Her normal response is, ive had im. Topvo crews are making progress t a very good morning to you. 8 26. Im laura garciacannon. Crews making progress today on a busy San Francisco street that closed yesterday from a sinkhole. Within the last few minutes, we learned one lane is now open in each direction along Mission Street at new montgomery. Thats where that sinkhole opened up yesterday and damaged a rideshare suv that got snagged. The family inside the car had been on the way to the airport. Luckily, they were removed. No one was injured. City workers think it opened after lines ruptured. Muni lines are also rerouted through the area. Lets look at the morning commute with mike. Good morning, laura. The south bay shows progression through the bay moving better, but dumbarton bridge extra slow right now getting towards the facebook site. Westbound jammed up. There was a slowmoving vehicle trying to clear the bridge. I think it has. Prepare for delays there. And in San Francisco, as you said, one lane in each direction of mission has reopened. Still, avoid the area of new montgomery and second. This will affect much of the market area. B. A. R. T. Will take you underneath a lot of the surface street congestion. And even though there is one lane open in each direction, theyre still rerouted. Back to you, laura. Thank you very much. Another local news update in a half hour. Hope you have a great morning. Dont you just love it we dont wanna go home 8 30 now on this wednesday morning, the 11th of may, 2016. Just doing a little meet and greet here on the plaza. Say hello to the folks standing by. University of arizona sweatshirt. Nice to have you along. Coming up, were going to talk love and friendship with Kate Beckinsale. You love jane sus taustin. Brandnew movie, all about the jane austin experience for you. I think this was a story written early in her career. Shes going to tell us all about it. Not as wellknown as some of the others, like pride and prejudice. Plus, jill martin has new steals and deals, all about accessories. Thatll be ahead. Lets first go out to al in San Francisco for a check of the weather. Guys, thanks so much. Lets look at today. We do have a risk of strong storms stretching from texas into the Mississippi River valley, with an enhanced risk in a closer area. 23 Million People at risk for that. Beautiful weather along the west coast. We expect sunshine, warmer conditions through the southeast, as well. Tomorrow, that sunshine continues through the southeast, gulf coast. We are looking though at storms continuing from texas on and moving east into the ohio river valley, as well. The sunshine continues along the west coast, as well there. Thats whats going on aro were in for some sunshine later on today, but now we still have these low clouds that have yet to clear out. And temperatures now in the low to mid50s. Still a cool start but warming up today up to 82 degrees in the south bay as well as the north bay up to 80 degrees. The east bay 75, and the trivalley 85 degrees. A wide range in temperatures as High Pressure remains in control. Heating up our inland temperatures into the 80s today. But over the next few days well have some fog returning and cooling us down. Thats your latest weather. Get your weather any time you need it. Go to Weather Channel on cable. Weather. Com online. Matt . Al, thank you very much. Kate beckinsale stars in the new movie love and friendshi friendship, based on a short story by jane austin. She plays the lady susan vernon, who earned a scandalous reputation in proper 18th century society. After attracting the attention of a married man. Lady susan vernon. How dare you address me, sir. Lady susan. Be gone, sir. Ill have you whipped. Outray jo outrageo outrageous. Do you know him . Ive met him. Id never speak to a stranger like this. Seems harsh. This was a short story early in jane austins career. Yeah, it wasnt until 40 or 50 years later that her nephew published it. We use the word proper when we think of jane austin, but the director of this movie went out of his way to say, you know what, this is a movie and story that emphasizes the humor of jane austin. Right. I think thats what has been surprising to people. I think we have an expectation of what a jane austin period movie is like. Its been fun, being in screenings and seeing people belly laughing, and laughing all the way through. Its great. Is it also fun to play a character described this way, in various publications . Irresistibly devious. Diabolically selfinterested. Uncharacteristically viperous. She is a nightmare. Id go on vacation with her. You like her . I do like her, yeah. I wouldnt want her to be a member of my family, but it was fun playing her for a couple months. It brings together a team that worked very successfully on the movie, the last days of disco, which was 1998 . Long ago. The director in that. Was it fun to recreate it . Did you get lightning in a bottle again . When we did the first movie, it was precell phones and internet. There was this period of time we would see each other at events, stay in touch. But everybody had so much life and stuff happen to them. It was a very similar vibe. Everybody is a little bit of an odd ball, and it works. Im glad you said that. When you look back at the first movie versus now, how have you changed as an actress and a person . As a person, im levery. Anything but. As an actress, i dont know. You have an overconfidence when youre really young. I think as you get better at what youre doing, it seems weird, you get slightly less pleased with yourself. You know what i mean . We notice our flaws more. You see how much you have to go with anything. You have a daughter, 17, and she wants to be an actress, or is an actress. Yeah. Do you offer advice . Do you say, sweetheart, ill tell you about the ups and the downs and the pitfalls of the business . I had a Good Parenting moment when she asked if she could have a nose ring. I said, no, if youre going to be in a jane austin movie, you dont want hole in your nose. Very good. Love and friendship opens in theaters on friday.

Were all marveling at the fact that Kate Beckinsale has a 17yearold daughter. So beautiful. Unbelievable. Anyway, 27 National Parks in the state of california. Some, like alcatraz and death valley, are on the mustsee list. There are also some lesser known gems, like sequoia National Park. It is considered a wellkept secret. They call it the hidden park. Al was lucky enough to find some good company, too. Hey, al. Thats right. In fact, whats so amazing is just really a three plus hour drive north of here is sequoia National Park. Located in the southern sierra nevada. Its a gem not a lot of people go to, but all need to make the trip. I took my 17yearold daughter leila with me to check it out. It was so aweinspiring, it knocked her socks off. Map at the ready . Yeah. Here we go. Look at that engine purr, bade addy. Lets drive nice and slow. Im stunned that when i asked leila if she wanted to come on the trip, she said yes. Im still surprised im here. Im a city kid, so camping, im not good at that. There is a stop sign, so you should stop. I will. Reporter leila heads to college in a year, so im thankful shes riding shotgun as we attempt our first ever camping trip. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

There are animals and trees everywhere. I really dont like birds because im afraid one will poop on my head. One hasnt pooped on your head. Yeah, twice. Thats right. General sherman tree, is that where were going . Yup. This is pretty cool. One of these sequoisequoias fed they put a walkway through it. Reporter this giant forest has the largest concentration of sequoia trees in the world, and the granddaddy of them all, general sherman. His trunk alone weighs 1,400 tons, equal to 25 army tanks. Each year, general sherman grows enough wood around the trunk that would equal a large tree. Its still growing . Its still growing. Reporter yup, still growing at 2,000 years old. We are looking at the largest tree on earth. Wow. Yeah. Reporter struck by their greatness, everyone seems to whisper down below until oh, my gosh, its a bird. A big one. Its a raven. Its not like youre going to be able to avoid them. Were good. Oh, my gosh. You do know were in the forest. Oh, my gosh. Its right there. Its right over your head. Save yourself. Reporter perhaps less intimidating for leila, the park also home to american black bears. Just waking up from their winter naps. Oh, my gosh. Is that it . I see it. I see it. Wow. I can see her face. A giant sequoia, a bear, a thunderstorm and sleet. Quite the camping experience. It is. So youre right wait, say that again. Like, youre correct. Say that again. No. Youre right. Say that again. No, what i meant was like, bear left. Bear right, your right. I dont think i ever have really roughed it before. We camped out once in our backyard. Yeah. We didnt last the night.

You see smoky the bear. Hes looking at you, pointing at you. Dont do it. That is a fire. What do you say . Our next vacation, you, me, your brother and your sister and mom, go camping. For now, i shouldnt push it, but its not a no. Ill take that as a maybe. So ive got to tell ya, it is one of the most aweinspiring sights. You cannot even as great as the video was, and our camera guy did a great job, it doesnt do it justice on tv. Guys, you have to see it in person. The most amazing part to me, al, was leila is going to college next year. Oh, my goodness. I know. I know. It really is amazing.

If you have questions, head to today. Com. Have an hour a day, a weekend to spare . Kevin oconnors weekend project fits any schedule. First, this is today on nbc. Announcer design your life on today is sponsored by ford. We go further so you can. All right. Were back with more of our special series, design your life, where were exploring diy projects so easy, youll actually try them. Kevin oconnor, host of the emmywinning this old house. Hes here with ideas that will take an hour, a day and a weekend. Good to see you. Good to see you again. Why do i get the feeling the one thats supposed to take an hour will still take me a weekend . We tested this. Youll be able to do it in an hour. First thing, were fixing the annoying, squeeaky floor. If the plywood isnt properly connected to the joist, the separation moves when you step on it and causes a squeak. What is the fix . Skew it back in. You have carpet down. Now weve got this contraction. 20 at the home center. Comes with a screw thatll automatically snap off. Put the screw here. Set this above the joist, which weve identified. Keep screwing. Cant go too far. It stops itself. Thats a problem. You can trip on that. Here, you have a little attachment. You can actually go into the screw, wiggle it back and forth, left and right, and itll snap off. Now thats not good. That should have gone down, matt. You have to put a little muscle with it. Itll go below the sub floor. 20 stops the squeaking. You got it. Thats an hour . Thats an hour. Now, if we have a day . This is a day. So this is a bookcase right here. This is kind of cool. Were using steel pipe as sort of an industrial look. For 100 of wood, you dont have to do fancy joints. You can build this itll take me longer than a day. With these parts here. Take the butcher block, and you need a circular saw and drill. Put the holes in the four corners. Youll actually put this on to the threaded pipe. Itll slide through. Put a couple of those on and screw them on. These couplings wont only join pieces of pipe to raise this up, but its going to hold this shelf in place. Now, you can put the second shelf on that. Itll go right on top. The next repeat the process . You can do this how many shelves . Four, five or six. Not too high. 30 of wood and 30 of pipe. Now, were building a raised garden box. What wood are you using . Not pressure twepressure twr. 2 by 10. We screwed it together. These are small. Starters, you can do it, no problem. You didnt do fancy joints, you went end to end. Screwed them to the ends like this. Perfectly fine. You can control your soil. You can put in great pots soil. Make them as long as you want. I wouldnt make them too wide because you have to weed them. This will hold up year after year with the moisture . This is going to be great outside. It will not last forever, it is wood, but itll last a long time. How much will that cost us as a diy project . About 100, most, for all of the wood and the plants. Specifically, whatever you want. You can put in vegetables, your flowers. How do you attach the trellis . Goes in the back. Great for climbers. We have tomatoes. Any vine you want. Done in a weekend . Great stuff. Kevin, good to see im. Our breaking news. Live and good morning at 8 56 on your wednesday. Im sam brock. Were following breaking news this morning. Two people are injured after Police Say Officers shot and wounded a man who was attacking his mother with an ax in san jose. This is a live look from one of our cameras right now on the scene. And as you can tell from that shot, theres still plenty of Police Activity there. Police say it all started unfolding within the last hour on lansing avenue and jarvis avenue. Thats right near the expressway. Police say officers were responding to a call about a traffic accident, but when they arrived, it turned out to be a much more volatile situation. Police tell us when the suspect refused to drop the ax and turned toward officers, they fired. Were told both the 26yearold suspect and his mother were alive when they were transported from the scene. Were going to bring you updates. But happening now, our crews gathering more information on what happened and the closures that are impacting that neighborhood. Were going to have a live report in our midday news cast at 11 00. We are also posting updates online. You can link to the very latest on our home page. Also in San Francisco, a sinkhole that opened yesterday on Mission Street continuing to cause disruptions this morning. A short time ago we did learn one lane in each direction has reopened. Well see you in 30 minutes. This morning on todays take, Meghan Trainor says no after a photoshop faux pas. We have her rereleased music video. Would you ride this . The doctor is in, or is he . Greys anatomy star jason george. All that and more coming up now. Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today. It is a beautiful wednesday morning in new york city. May 11th, 2016. Im willie alongside tamron. As you can see, beautiful in pink today. Thank you. Natalie is off. Al is at alcatraz in San Francisco for crimes he says he didnt commit. Well ask him about that. Hes there as part of our National Park series. Talk to me about the jam. Go ahead. Okay. W wham, everything she wants is my jam of the day. I was reflecting on my life. At a particular point in my life, i was living at home whether it was High School Ready to break thrfree. My dad, you know, very, very, you know, youre going to go to college but right now, we own you. Did you have the wham tshirt with the exclamation point . Yeah. Remember George Michaels hair . Man, he was so hot. Still is. Amazing. I was in the lounge chilling with friends and the song came on, and i love this song. Then he went solo and had the early 90s run, with freedom d. This is when your social life was based on mtv. All the models in videos and stuff. Remember . Freedom, mmhmm. Yeah. When i saw willie for the first time this morning, i said, willie is slowly morphing into leo dicaprio. Far from the truth but look at your hair. Same hair since 86. I knew you when it was lasagna. He has wavy, finger waves in his hair. The suit, the look. Tamron, i wear a suit to work every day. I feel like willie is morphing into leo. What do you want from me . Feels like youre setting me up to ask me for something. I dont want anything. I think we saw leo dicaprio name drop at the global citizens festival. Thats right. Huge summer festival to raise money for awareness and child poverty. Big event. The only person we wanted to see, lets be honest, was leo, and now youre leo. I sit next to leo. Thanks but i still want to know what you want out of me. Were also caught up in the moment of future and travel. We talked about this earlier. Its an airtight tube that would travel 750 Miles Per Hour. This is basically the future of transportation. A few companies are trying to launch the first ever they call it the super fast tube. Is that the official name . Hyperloop. I was going to say, tony stark from iron man would call it something cooler. Planning to unveil and test the first version of this in a nevada desert. They created a tenfoot long sled, they say, will reach 350 Miles Per Hour in two seconds. It would travel from l. A. To san fran in 30 minutes. That would usually take you six to seven hours. Twice as fast as a bullet train. To put it in context, boeing 747, top speed, 600 Miles Per Hour. The concord, remember that, it traveled at more than 1,300 Miles Per Hour. Do you want to go that fast . Yes, i do. I do not. Elon musk was working on this. This is not his though. Oh, its not . Its like it. This is a competitor. The way it was explained to me, this is the same, is you know the bank tubes . They get sucked up in the drive through . Its like that. But its your body. You wont notice. Youre reading the paper at 750 Miles Per Hour. Do you feel it in a plane . Good point. I dont feel it. Youre not in the air. Youre cruising on the track. Oh, man. You could leave new york and have lunch in l. A. You know what im saying . That would be amazing. Leave there in the morning and get there for lunch. We talk about infrastructure, and we live in new york. I grew up in texas. You get a car when youre born because we dont have Mass Transportation of a real kind there. We do need to focus more on this. Not just in the northeast corridor. We take the train a lot to d. C. Take the fast track, its 2 hours and 20 minutes. The high speed travel is almost exclusive to the northeast. Id love to have it in texas. Dallasft. Worth to san antonio in 30 minutes. Even by international standards, the high speed in the northeast is not high speed. The ones in japan, for instance, go twice as fast. This could take us to the next level. Als father used to drive a bus in new york city. Thats my transition to al. He has ties to transportation and all things wonderful when it comes to our National Parks. Youre hanging out. Like that transition . Score it. I did. It was amazing. Really, from a hyperloop to my dad driving a bus. He did, didnt he . He did. He drove the b35 on flatbush avenue. Thank you. It was kind of cool. In fact, right now, i am on the alcatraz flier, which is one of the ferries that shuttles between San Francisco, about a mile and a half that way, and alcatraz prison, which is one of the most popular National Parks in the system. 1. 5 Million People come here every year. Its really cool. I got a tour yesterday. Youve got to come out and see it. Have you been to alcatraz . Not since i broke out. Oh, im sorry i said that out loud. Were on tv. Hey. Yeah, i mean, it really is amazing. Theres so much history here. I actually got a little behind the scenes. They took a mug shot. I kind of got into the feeling of it. What crime did you commit . What did you do . Well, i was passing bad checks. Thats what it was. Actually interviewed a guy who was in prison for passing bad checks. He was how old was bill, kate . 83, he was 83. He was 83. He just went straight five years ago. He finally decided you ran into him on this trip . No, we actually did an interview. We set it up. We did an interview, and we talked to him. He was quite the character. He met and actually talked with the birdman from alcatraz. I mean, he was quite it was quite fascinating. Anyway, we also visited sequoia National Park with my daughter leila. We had a lot of fun. It is beautiful there. Did you discover a new thing about leila at all on this adventure . I know its to embrace the beauty of our National Parks, but it was a great bonding moment for you guys, too, right . Yeah, it was i didnt realize how afraid of birds and getting pooped on she is. Irrationally afraid. It was like a phobia. Yeah, i mean, like and we live in manhattan, where there are pigeons everywhere. Yes. She walks around normally. But wow, freaked me out. I liked, al, when youre putting the tent together and she said, how does this thing inflate . Its a great idea, by the way. I love that. You know, we actually have a tent at our house that you unzip and it kind of pops up. Its like a small, oneperson tent, you know. Right. Its not like this giant structure. It was funny. Fun watching you together. Al, stick right there. We want you to see something very important here. You are now the latest casualty in the Ellen Degeneres v matt lauer prank war. Earlier this week, ellen pranked matt at the met gala. Looks like shes ready to take this to the next level. Check this out. I find this to be a rather disturbing development. We had a well choreographed truce. Oh, wow. This blows it. The only thing that could have been worse is if shed done me. Im sorry, matt, and youre right. I should not have done that. But i dont think that was the full clip. Did we show the full clip . Theres more. Lets see the rest. If youre tweeting me now saying, why would you do that . I did not do that. Guys, i have a long flight home to think about something, but ill take any and all suggestions. Oh, my gosh. Well see you in a couple minutes. Wow. Wow. Tear away pants, al. Ellen has too much time on her hands. She she really needs to get a hobby. Al, do you feel a draft . Tell them about the shri shrinkage, gary. We have a wide shot on you, al. We pixelated you from the wide down. Want to see me step out of the pixelization . No its following you, like a video game. Phew. Al, in pixelation, can you do the weather that way . I can. For today, we have an enhanced risk of strong storms from abilene on into the mid plains. Were watching for the possibility of isolated thunderstorms. More likely, damaging winds and hail. Were also looking at a gorgeous day along the east coast. Temperatures will be nice and moderate. Were looking at beautiful weather out west. As we move into tomorrow, were going to see that Stormy Weather move east. Cooler weather starts to invade from the Northern Plains into the upper midwest. That is all heading to the east. Thats whats going we are still waiting on sunshine across the bay area. We are starting to see them in the north bay. Behind the clouds, we have a steady cloud cover for most of the bay area. Temperatures in the 50s and the upper 60s in San Francisco. 80 degrees in the north bay. A lot more sunshine there in the east bay. A high of 75 degrees while we see mid 80s in the trivalley. High pressure stays in control, but it cools in time for the weekend. That is your latest weather. Guys . Al, thank you very much. Talk to you again in a minute.

Is with us now, and we started our list, the best things to have for breakfast. Thats exactly what its all about. People have these lists in their head all the time. We were talking during the break of what your favorite pancakes were, favorite breakfast. These are the things that, i think, people have in their heads all day or friends want to see what their favorite restaurant is, books, or their thoughts on the subway. Theyre overheard at family thanksgiving dinner. This is a place where people can share more thoughtful, funny, authentic, off the top of your head stuff. How did you come up with the idea for the list . Were you at a party . Im one of these guys. I have lists in my head all the time, and i love to write things down. I have a pocket notebook where i keep them. Whenever anyone asked, whats your favorite this or that, i blanked, and wished i had kept it somewhere. I had an idea for a simple social media app where people could share and keep all these things. Its taken off not just for that, but creativity. Theres 250,000 lists already in the first six months. Theyre everything from, you know, memories of my childhood to the author of wild, who made a list called, objects found many my mothers car at the time of death. Very moving.

What do they find when they get in . Make a list or read a list first . We have a list of recommended people to follow. A lot of celebrities that are sharing more personal sides of themselves, publications, then people we just discovered who are doing these interesting, funny things. I think most people sign up, click around to see who to follow and read the lists that come in. Its an easy form to read. Often, when we see a news article online, we want to see the bullet points. This is a way to do that with peoples personal feelings. Just see the bullet points. Who is the number one choice on your list right now for us to look up on list . I recommend myself. I got you. I follow. Interesting people. There is a friend of mine, zoe did one, how to break a mans heart. It was a selfdeprecating idea about relationships shes had.

We have bad news for the bleebe beliebers. New instagram post, justin will no longer take photos with fans because, in his words, its gotten to the point that people wont recognize me as a human or say hi. I feel like a zoo animal. The singer wrote, just because someone had bought his album does not mean he owes them a picture. The news comes on the heels of justin cancelling meet and greets with fans at concerts. A better line maybe for justin is, listen, approach me in a nice way and well get a picture. Dont cut everyone off, justin. Fans love you. But they should respect you. Rob kardashian wants respect from his family. He has a lot of it from his fiance, black chi chyna. They are expecting a baby.
