From TODAY correspondent Jill Rappaport From Bow to Wow . This time I wanted to focus on BIG dogs, since their size does present a challenge when it comes to adoption.Animal Care and Control of New York City , we found four true beauties, all in desperate need of a loving home, and this was their lucky day! Starting with the females first, we found Sonya -- a gorgeous flat-haired retriever mix, who was sadly left tied to a pole, but she is so sweet and affectionate that she would be a gift for anyone. Next, there is Phoebe, a stunning Australian cattle dog with a heart of gold and eyes that will melt your heart.
Each of these dogs is so filled with love, and just waiting to share it with you. As the owner of four dogs (two females, two males), three BIG ones and one small one with a very BIG personality like Jack the Jack Russell, when I look at this group, I feel like I am in my own backyard! If you have been looking for a BIG dog to share your life with, I hope you will consider one of these precious pooches. They have so much love to give, and because of their size, there is that much more to hug and cuddle with!Dear viewers: If you're interested in finding information on how to adopt the dogs seen on TODAY, please visit the Animal Care & Control of New York City's site at nycacc.org . here .
On Monday, July 6th TODAY will be ambushing three lucky dogs on Rockefeller Plaza with a doggie makeover!

How much do you think you can say in 140 characters or less?! Twitter has been an instrumental new tool in the world of social networking. Some people tweet on the latest news & happenings in Iran. Others ... simply to tell you they just finished their grilled cheese sandwich from last night.
Regardless of content, tweeting or twittering or whatever you choose to call these 140-character messages ... they're taking the news world by storm. Even our family here at TODAY has taken part in the twitterific fun! Let's take a look at what some of our TODAY tweeters have recently been up to...
@Ann Curry often tweets poignant quotes like this one from Sunday evening..."Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm."-Sir Winston Churchill
@Studio1A keeps you informed on all the latest fun down on our plaza, including TODAY Throws a Wedding...from 6:27 PM on June 9th...The @todayshow wedding couples are now on #Twitter @porshaandchris @alyssaandgary @lamarandemily @nickandleigh
@AlRoker offers his followers on Twitter their very own "Tweather" updates in 140 characters or less...take this tweet: Another upper low anchors over the NE creating another lousy wx pattern after Wednesday. 3rd wettest/4th coldest June on record in NYC
@TodayShow keeps you informed on all things TODAY and offers you links to many of the interviews that air on TODAY like this tweet from Monday morning...Matt's exclusive interview with the Jackson family attorney. Video: http://tr.im/q93q
@HodaKotb likes to suggest her followers some of her favorite music choices -- here's a suggestion from Friday, June 19th: Summer tune--toes in the sand....sooo good: "Can't stop" by ozo Xoxoxo
@SaraHaines will keep Kathie Lee & Hoda's fans constantly updated as Sara will tweet throughout the show and even post pictures like this one from Thursday...Abigail Breslin on set waiting for KLG and @hodakotb on @todayshow http://twitpic.com/8dfz2
So, that should give you a taste of the variety of TODAY tweets...which also prompted this Tuesday's "Getting to Know TODAY" question. Today, we ask the TODAY family: Which TODAY anchor do you think would garner the most followers on Twitter?

TODAY producers MaryAnn Zoellner and Alicia Ybarbo have been 'Tagged!"
The two appear in today's episode of "Barnes & Noble Tagged! with Molly Pesce".
Moms, producers and co-authors, in the clip below MaryAnn and Alicia talk about their new book:"Today's Moms: Essentials for Surviving Baby's First Year".
Kathie Lee and Hoda have been named to
Entertainment Weekly's Must List 2009 as the "must-watch awesomely crazy morning TV personalities":
The View slipped into a more snoozy cadence, a funny thing
happened: The fourth hour of NBC's Today show swooped in as the go-to
place for morning-TV insanity. We'd call sparring, madcap hosts Gifford and Kotb
a guilty pleasure, but we don't even feel guilty about it." Check out the full list at EW.com .

It was one of those moments when cynicism about Hollywood fades, outshone by the light in a young woman’s eyes.
Within moments, Samantha found herself in Studio 1A, where LaBeouf was talking to Meredith Vieira. Vieira yielded her seat to Samantha, who suddenly found herself face-to-face with one of the most popular young leading men in Hollywood.
“I’ve been planning this all week,” exclaimed Samantha. Animated valentine hearts were almost visibly dancing around her as she pointed to her cheerful floral skirt. “I bought this... I can’t believe this!”
“You look great,” LaBeouf said gallantly.
“All kinds,” LaBeouf replied suavely. “What are you doing the rest of the day? My day is boring."
Here is a beautiful shot taken by TODAY's Al Roker of Galveston Bay, Texas. Help4Galveston was the charity featured this morning on the third day of Lend a Hand 2009 .
UPDATE : The Fray concert has been postponed. Will keep you posted on when it will be rescheduled.
If you haven't already seen it, take 6:00 minutes and watch the video below. Tomorrow (Wednesday) on the show we will talk to Matt and Ginny Mooney to hear their family's story.
Baseball season may be fully underway but did you know that TODAY competes in a little softball league of its own? Although the weather here in NYC has not been cooperating, we've been training and gearing up for Opening Day in Central Park . When the rain finally stops and our team is ready to take the field, we mean business.
While many of our producers, researchers and other colleagues behind the scenes are TODAY softball all-stars, I couldn't help but wonder which TODAY anchor would be the most reliable to go the distance and bring us home the big "W."
In this week's "Getting to Know TODAY," we ask the TODAY family: In order for the TODAY softball team to remain undefeated, which anchor would you put on the mound?
Be sure to post your pitcher of choice below -- would you fear a nasty curveball from Lester? Do you really think Ann could psych you out? Don't forget to add your ideas for future "Getting to Know TODAY" questions as well. Hopefully we'll pick yours.
As always, check the allDAY blog every Tuesday to learn the latest answers to all your burning questions about the TODAY family!
In the meantime, have a great week and hey, watch some baseball!

From Kerry Byrnes, TODAY producer This morning, astronaut
Buzz Aldrin (video) talked about his new book, "
Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home From The Moon." The book details his amazing journey to the lunar surface, and his battle with depression and alcoholism after his return.
In the 40 years since he walked on the moon, Buzz Aldrin has continued his interest in the space program focusing on space tourism.
In addition, he recently teamed up with the folks from
Funny Or Die.com and made a hip-hop music video with Snoop Dogg. We didn't get a chance to get the video during
his segment due to
breaking news , but it's definitely worth a look!
No, you haven’t died and gone to style heaven. This is actually happening. Jimmy Choo will be providing top-quality, high-end designer shoes and bags at bargain prices. And let me just say, they happen to be one of the few brands that do not send out freebies to celebs or VIPs, so even Carrie Bradshaw will be on line on November 14, 2009 when the Brit brand's coveted accessories hit 250 H&M locations across the country.

Today was the first day of Al Roker's annual Lend a Hand charity and my first time working on this incredible part of our show.

From TODAY producer Lauren Ina
Scott Chandler surfs big waves for a living – BIG waves – the kind that look like the mouth of a giant whale about to swallow the pipsqueak human beneath the curl. “Whenever I surf those 65-foot waves, I risk my life – so I get some press and my picture gets around,” he said.
True to her terrier breed, Zoey also digs in the sand and chases squirrels. But what can we say: This dog loves to surf! Riding the waves in tandem with Chandler and his daughter, Zoey does it all. This week she won first place at the Loews Coronado Dog Surf Contest in San Diego.
About 1,000 people attended the event despite the fact that it was cold and drizzling (after all, this is California – 65 degrees is freezing !). And I have to say it was one of the nicest crowds I have ever encountered at any event. No one was rowdy, drinking too much, or obnoxious. And with so many dogs around having a good time, it was impossible not to smile.
The event was also an excuse for people to showcase their incredible devotion to their dogs. There was lots of doggie talk, doggie sponsors, and wacky dog costumes.

Some interesting views of the concert this morning. It might have been one of our biggest crowds ever.
From Ann Curry, TODAY Life can be a whiplash. While
Twittering from DC this morning, I suddenly got a call asking me to host a big deal
UNHCR World Refugees Day event starting in an hour because CNN's Anderson Cooper's plane couldn't land in the rain.
UNHCR helps millions of refugees all over the world, so "no" was not an option.

From CNBC anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera
Family and sacrifice – these are the dominant themes you hear over and over again from the five women we profiled today. The importance of family is the cornerstone of Hispanic culture and with that comes sacrifice. The parents of these women braved hardships and gave up niceties (never mind luxuries!) to make sure their children had the tools they needed to succeed in America – education and a belief that hard work will get you where you want to go.

Monday, June 22, marks the start of TODAY's special Lend a Hand series with Al Roker. Al is traveling the country to surprise five exceptional charities with truckloads of donations. We're excited to share their stories and show how they're restoring hope and opportunity in their respective communities.
The Lend a Hand team has been working nonstop for months in preparation for this upcoming week. We've been fundraising like crazy to exceed anyone's wildest dreams. In the midst of an ugly recession, and with corporate giving down, this hasn't been an easy task. But we've taken a page from David Copperfield's book of tricks -- and performed magic! Our Penske trucks are filled with computers, clothing, cars and kayaks -- and we're ready to deliver.

Taken from Al's Twitter feed , below are some recent photos of Meredith, Jim Cramer and Jimmy Fallon at a promo shoot for Al's new show on the Weather Channel, "Wake Up With Al." The show will air from 6 to 7 a.m. starting on July 20.
From NBC correspondent Miguel Almaguer
What's best for Latino students who struggle with English? Should they be taught through bilingual education or are English-only programs the way to go? The answer for a school district in Charlotte, N.C., seems to be a strong combination of both. At the Collinswood Language Academy (kindergarten through sixth grade) students spend half their day learning subjects like math and science in Spanish and the other half being taught history and social studies in English.

From TODAY producer Vivian Fel
I am a first generation American. A Hispanic-American if you will.
Notice the hyphen.all that I am. And I do know who I am in terms of my values and what is important to me. It is this life on the hyphen, this grey yet colorful place between the Hispanic and the American that can be a little harder to define.

From NBC News correspondent Kerry Sanders Hip is something I’m not.Ozomatli .
Their music is now on my iPod, but we’ll get to that in a moment.
Some of my Latino friends joke that I’m an “honorary Hispanic" -- that makes me smile.
Growing up in Peru It may be because as a teenager (mid 1970s), I lived in Lima, Peru.
My American mother grew up in Lima, and it only seemed natural to her that I’d one day know what her upbringing was like.
I attended high school there (and you thought chemistry was difficult in English!), played futbol and most importantly, jumped with two feet into the rhythms of a different culture.
had to learn to dance. Not only to fit in, but to make the evening fun. Evening parties were very long affairs.
We danced toque to toque. The party would end with the curfew, shortly after sunrise.

Summer officially begins on Sunday, and with the weather warming up and vacation on everyone's mind, some parents may be gearing up for a little getaway. But what does that mean for your kids? It's never an easy task to leave your little ones with just anyone ... even a TODAY Show anchor.
Inspired by the success of the recently published "TODAY'S Moms" book, we decided to go straight to our TODAY show moms and dads (here's lookin' at you, Al) to see who among our TODAY family would be recruited for babysitting duties.
In this week's "Getting to Know TODAY," we ask the TODAY family: If you had to trust your kids with another TODAY anchor to babysit, who would you choose and why?
Be sure to post your babysitter choice below -- would you place Matt on diaper duty? Do you really think Kathie Lee would get the kids to bed on time? Don't forget to add your ideas for future "Getting to Know TODAY" questions as well. Hopefully we'll pick yours.

David Fishman may only be 12 years old but his food reviews have already been published in "GQ" and "Time Out for Kids." David recently paid a visit to Studio 1A where we put his taste buds to the test. After trying Hoda, Kathie Lee and Sara's favorite recipes, he whipped up this review below !

It was a dark rainy day when I awoke to the usual sound of my mother telling me to get up. School was over for the year. This is an OUTRAGE. Something was different about today though. Oh yeah... I was headed to the TODAY show.
A large black car with comfortable leather seats and bottled water in the cup holders sat waiting to leave with it’s passengers: my mom and me. We were whisked through the city and arrived at 15 Rock just on time: 9:20AM. I walked into a medium sized room called the“green room” and sat down along with about 6 other people waiting to be on the famous TODAY Show. Seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours (meaning time dragged on for awhile before I was asked to sit down for the teaser).

From TODAY correspondent Jill Rappaport
In the luxurious land of the Hamptons in eastern Long Island is a private sanctuary dedicated to taking care of horses left at death's door. The Sagaponack, N.Y., farm is called Amaryllis Farm Equine Rescue . It's run by a local woman named Christine Distefano, who has loved horses her whole life and wanted to make a difference in their lives.
And boy has she ever! In just four short years, she has rescued 88 horses, and has gotten 44 of them adopted. Many are retired racehorses, some former show horses, or lesson horses with one thing in common: Once they were no longer money makers, they were given up to die! That is, until Christine was notified and literally pulled them off the truck when they were on their way to slaughter. Her farm survives solely on donations and the kindness of others who have opened up their hearts and wallets to help this wonderful place.
As a horse lover/owner I am so fortunate to know firsthand what wonderful majestic creatures they are, and just because their careers may be over, that should not mean their lives are! Thanks to Amaryllis Farm, they're not.
Find out more about Amaryllis Equine Rescue and how to help the horses here.
From CNBC anchor Carl Quintanilla No matter what your views are regarding immigration laws in this country, it's tough to watch the story we have for you Tuesday morning on TODAY.
It's about what they call "mixed-status families" -- families made up of both legal and illegal residents who are trying to stay together despite being separated by immigration laws that they have violated.
Take Jose Zaragoza, a legal resident since 1987. He met Ana, the woman he wanted to marry, while visiting Mexico. They married, then waited and waited to get legal papers to bring her into the country. When their patience ran out, Ana came into the U.S. illegally to join her husband, and they had two children, Daniel and Steven.
But Ana eventually paid the price for sneaking into the country. She was deported and now lives in Mexico, away from her kids, who -- because they were born in the U.S. -- are automatically American citizens. They see each other maybe every six months. They must choose between staying in the U.S., where they can build on what their father has done for the past 30 years, without their mother, or they can move to Mexico to live as a family, forfeiting the life in America they legally deserve.

Here are some Twitpics from Monday's show.
From Natalie Morales I’m often asked what it mean to be a Hispanic American, and I’ve even been told "you don't look Hispanic." I always reply, "Funny, what does a Hispanic look like?" With more than 20 Hispanic nations, we are all so different, and there is no standard for what a Hispanic looks like. We are blond, brunette, redheads, blue eyed, green eyed, and brown eyed. But for the most part, our culture, our language, and our passions define us.
We hope to explore these defining parts of culture, as well as the wide-ranging issues facing the Hispanic community, in next week’s series called “We the People.” Why cover these issues now? Because we recognize the profile of who we are as America is vastly changing. The Hispanic population is booming in just about every region of the country; the Census Bureau is predicting the Hispanic population will triple by the year 2050. It is the fastest-growing minority group. Hispanics are breaking ground in just about every way -- in government, business, sports and entertainment. We may soon have the first Hispanic Justice in the Supreme Court.
On Monday we begin the first installment of "We The People" with a preview of the 2010 census.

From Alicia Ybarbo, TODAY producer & co-author, TODAY'S MOMS: Essentials for Surviving Baby's First Year Most people think that December is the busiest time of year. There are decorations to put up, gifts to buy, parties to attend, vacations to put in for, good will to spread. It's downright madness between Thanksgiving and New Year's, and you can't skip a beat, gain a pound or lose the meaning of it all as the days blur past.
But as the month of May slides into June, it signals the end of the school year, and all the hubbub surrounding it breezes in with the subtlety of a hurricane. My son Jack just graduated from Kindergarten - my little boy! - and my daughter Lucy graduated from nursery on her way to Pre-K. These past two weeks alone my husband and I have had to juggle a pajama breakfast, concerts, a tae kwon do promotion test, kindergarten graduation, parent reading day and picture day at gymnastics. And that's in addition to the birthday parties, half-days, dentist appointments and play dates that are already on the calendar.
It seems that no parent is immune from this pre-summer process. NBC’s Brian Williams recently sat down with the first lady, Michelle Obama, during his behind-the-scenes look at the Obama Administration. In "Inside the Obama White House" Michelle Obama shared, "This is one of those weeks where it's the end of the school year and there are concerts and potlucks and end of the year everything... and I think I've been at their school two or three times this week. But that is no different from what I did before all of this and it's no different from every parent that I know.”
The Black Eyed Peas will be on the Plaza tomorrow.
Below is the video for their song, "Boom Boom Pow".
Hope you can join us.
Charlie Todd, the founder of "Improv Everywhere" was on the show this morning .
Formed in August of 2001, the group is known for causing "scenes of chaos and joy in public places".
While Todd is now out with a book called, "Causing a Scene: Extraordinary Pranks in Ordinary Places," the group is probably best known for their "mission" called "Frozen in Grand Central". Since first being posted to Youtube it has been viewed over 17 million times.

From Jenna Wolfe Today is
Best Friends Day and while I’m not 7 (I’m...well... considerably older than that), I still honor and respect the gods of friendship who declared this a national (semi-celebrated) holiday. So in honor of BFF day, this morning
I interviewed psychologist Robi Ludwig about the health benefits of having a BFF, a best friend forever.
I honestly can't think of a better remedy for pain, heartbreak, loss, anguish...or a better sounding board for anger, jealousy, ire, fury....or a better cheerleader for happiness, success, love, and luck than a best friend. My best friend is Marni. Why? Well, do you have a couple hours?

This morning, Richard Sandomir and Mark Reiter were on the show to talk about their new book, "The Final Four of Everything".
The two write: "The bracket is a unique way of organzing information that dates back to rise of the knockout (or single elimination) tournament, perhaps in medieval times...You, of course, may be familiar with the bracket format via the NCAA basketball tournament pairings each March...We take the idea one step further and apply this knockout format to every category but basketball."
They built a site to accompany the release of the book where you can go and build your own brackets.
To have a little fun, we built the following bracket. Who is your pick to come out on top?
This morning the Dave Matthews Band performed live for the first time on morning television. Here is one of Al's twitpics of the band on stage.

Did you know that today is a holiday? Today is National Doughnut Day.
In honor of the occasion, Krispy Kreme is giving away free doughnuts to all customers.
The company says, "no purchase is necessary" and all participating stores will offer "one doughnut per customer."
What they call "Freeday" is part of a trend of companies giving away free stuff in hopes of getting some buzz online.
Here is a recent gallery of some of your favorite freebies .
allDay: Why did you decide to have free doughnut day? Chef Ron: Krispy Kreme has been celebrating National Doughnut Day for about one decade. This day ties in nicely with Krispy Kreme, especially since we're known for our melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts, particular the signature hot Original Glazed® doughnut. We wanted to show our appreciation to our customers and this annual observance by giving our guests one free doughnut of their choosing. This is another way for Krispy Kreme to say “Thank you” to our incredibly loyal customers across the country. allDay: Do people have a choice of what kind of free doughnut? Chef Ron: Of course! Customers who visit participating Krispy Kreme locations on Friday, June 5 can choose from any of our more than 15 delicious varieties of doughnuts for their one free treat. While there, I also encourage customers to try additional menu items, including one of our thirst-quenching iced beverages.
allDay: What is the most popular kind of doughnut?
Chef Ron: Hands down, Krispy Kreme’s most popular doughnut is our signature Original Glazed doughnut, which also happens to be my personal favorite. And now, you can also get the Original Glazed doughnut as a mini doughnut, which is about half the size of a traditional doughnut. And while our seasonal varieties, like this summer’s Fresh and Fruity doughnuts, are always a hit, for me when the “Hot Now” sign is on, it is nearly impossible to resist a hot, fresh Original Glazed doughnut!

Less than 24 hours until the Dave Matthews Band performs on our Plaza.
Hope you can come down and join us.
If you can, get here early (before 6am for best views of stage).
If you need directions to our studio (49th St. between 5th and 6th Ave.) you might try the "DMB GPS". See the video below from last night's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon".
If you’ve been around TODAY long enough, you know you can depend on
Style Editor Bobbie Thomas for the most envy-inducing beauty items. Her office is a Sephora-jacked Wonka factory in which you’re offered everything from hair extensions to rhinestone-studded lollipops to fashion tape – basically, anything you’d expect to spot in Christina Aguilera’s emergency bag. It’s like living next door to Santa. You find yourself looking for any reason to schedule a meeting (“Bobbie, can we discuss Kate Gosselin’s hairstyle?”).
So I was more than thrilled when Bobbie invited me to test-drive the latest celeb trend: Minx nails. Imagine metallic Lee Press-On Nails that can last roughly four weeks, but look more like grillz for your fingers.

In two days, the Dave Matthews Band will rock the Plaza. It will be the band's first live performance on morning television.
Below is video of their performance at the Beacon Theatre in New York on Monday night. It includes songs from their new album, "Big Whiskey and the GrooGux King".
What do you think they will play on our show?

This morning we played a clip of the very first open of "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien." While we didn't show the whole segment of Conan running across the country to his set in Los Angeles, if you missed the show you can watch below. It is a part of NBC history.
As Conan gets ready to host "The Tonight Show" tonight, here is a look at some of the funny moments that Matt, Meredith, Al and Ann have had with him over the years.
Looking forward to the show tonight and wish him the best of luck!
You can never be sure what’s going to happen when Will Ferrell visits TODAY, but even by his wacky standards, the staged appearance the comedian makes on the morning show with Matt Lauer in his newest movie, “Land of the Lost,” is off the charts.
“Stephen Hawking says, ‘This is nonsense.’ That’s his word,” Lauer tells Dr. Marshall.
“OK, you know what? This interview is over,” Ferrell says as he gets up and angrily pulls his lapel mike off his explorer’s vest.
“No it’s not. It’s a hatchet job,” Ferrell/Marshall says as he stalks off the set.
Unmoved, Lauer teases the next segment of the show: “When we come back: ‘Trampolines: Summer fun or silent killer?’ ”
As he’s finishing, Ferrell and another man crash back onstage and onto the couch, locked together in combat. Without saying a word, Lauer takes in the situation, grabs a fire extinguisher, and sprays them both down.
“Land of the Lost,” based on a popular 70s TV show, opens in theaters on Friday, June 5.
We are really excited to have the Dave Matthews Band perform on the Plaza this Friday.
It will be the band's first live performance on a morning show.
Hope you can come down to Plaza and join us.
Here is a spot from "CBS Sunday Morning" about the band and the new album which will be in stores on June 2nd.
