Record books. After losing 26 games in a row, the 76ers managed to pull off a win and avoid a loss that would have given them a dubious place. Today march 30th, 2014. And welcome to today on this sunday morning. Im erica hill. Im lester holt. Congratulations to the 76ers. You would have thought they won a championship. They simply won the right to say theyre not the worst didnt have the worst losing streak in nba history. But what about the other team . How do you lose to the worst team . And a dubious honor. You didnt quite win. You didnt quite lose. It could be worse. It could always be worse. So you guys go. Take the day off. Exactly. Well you ponder that. We want to get on a serious note to the top story. That is a frustrating search by air and water for any clue as to what may have happened to that malaysian jetliner. It is possible the plane could be lost deep below the ocean surface, of course. And could it be there longer than anyone imagined . Kerry sanders is joining us with more. Reporter now a u. S. Navy official involved in the search going on basically in this area is saying publicly what a lot of people have been saying privately since then search began. Lacking evidence its possible the search for flight 370 could take quote, an intenable amount of time. With aircraft back in the search zone today, a race against time. The planes black boxes will likely only keep pinging for another week. The u. S. Navys pinger locater is now headed to the search zone. Once we do get a position with the locater, we will deploy this underwater vehicle here. Reporter back in kuala lumpur emotions boiled over. We want evidence chanted those relatives of the passengers. You must return our relatives no Strings Attached and hand us the murderer. The new search zone is about the size of new mexico. Where waves and currents are less severe than the previous search area. Even if debris is eventually located, 23 days into this mystery, tracing back the spot where the plane may have gone it has endless variables. We dont even know did it sink right away, did it float on the surface for awhile. Reporter the flight went into the ocean and a submarine like the abyss were to find it experts Say International maritime law does not apply. Aviation law established in 1944 determines which country is ultimately in charge of the investigation. If the airplane crashes on the high seas, the jurisdiction is with the state of registry of the aircraft nap is malaysia in this case. Reporter as costs mount, the question, when does this end . Theyll have to reevaluate the assets theyre using and what theyre doing in the next week or two. They cant allow this to go on because it will get so costly. Reporter the pingers on these socalled black boxes which are orange have seven or eight days left with this pinger. Interestingly the new regulations Going Forward next year will require batteries that last for 90 days which, of course would be useful now. Kerry sanders this morning. Thank you. More rain in the forecast today in Washington State which will not help the crews looking to recover victims from the debris of that massive mudslide. But there has been welcomed news as the days drag on. Miguel almaguer has been covering this since it happened. Whats the latest . Good morning. After learning the death toll has risen to 18 authorities discovered another body and not yet identified it. Finally good news here. The number of missing has dropped from 90 to 30. I want to show you what rescue teams have on the ground. They have been searching the debris field for more than a week now. Some 400 First Responders where these homes used to be looking for signs of any victims for any possible survivors which rescue teams now concede will be nearly impossible. Yesterday at 10 37 a. M. A very poignant moment in the search zone. First responders paused for a moment of silence to remember the victims and to remember those that survived this deadly mudslide. Its been a difficult time not just for those First Responders but for the volunteers who have also joined them in the debris field. This is a very emotional event for a lot of these people. We have family members digging for their loved ones alongside us. Reporter its been difficult for so many people not just in the search zone but also in the small communities up and down the area. There will be Church Services held today to remember the victims. Certainly another sad day here near oso, washington. Thank you very much. Could there possibly be a breakthrough when it comes to the crisis in ukraine . John kerry will meet with his russian counterpart. He was on his way home from saudi arabia when he redirected his plane hoping to find a solution to the crisis. Chuck todd joins us from meet the press. Good morning to you, erica. There are eyes around the world looking at this meeting set to happen. What is the thinking though . What is the hope of what can realistically come out of this . Well i guess the best that can be hoped for and the United States will never say this publicly, they let putin lock in his games here in crimea in exchange for him backing his troops off of the border of ukraine. That seems to be the back and forth here. There is some good news. President obama and putin seem to have a decent enough conversation that it led to this idea that kerry could change his plans, go to paris rather than come back to washington and meet with lavrov and see if they can come up with a diplomatic solution. Weve been down this road before. Right before the crimean referendum. Then in that phone call it was like two steps forward but three steps back because you had putin talk about moldova and making the same claims as in crimea. That he needs to protect russian citizens. Well see what happens today. Theres an inkling of hope something can happen today, but im not of mystic. Lets turn now domestically to obamacare the Affordable Care act. Monday is the deadline now essentially. Sort of. There are a few caveats there. Lets go with that to make life easy this morning. 6 Million People have now signed up. Public opinion is changing slightly. The numbers improving in terms of americans who approve of the Affordable Care act. Whats behind that change . Well i think its a slight sort of maybe some of its fatigue. I talked to some democrats. They think fatigue, debate fatigue about health care oddly helps them a little bit. While still the Republican Base gets so fired up about trying to get rid of health care trying to repeal it the fatigue on swing voters saying lets fix it we dont need to repeal it. But its not a galvanizing message for democrats. All is on the republican side. Its whats firing up their voters for the midterms. And thats whats frustrating the white house. Youre right. Theres a slight change in poll numbers, but its more of just passive acceptance. Its not enthusiastic. Chuck, nice to see you this morning. Well check with you later on to see whats coming up on meet the press. Sounds good. Lets get a check of top stories with jenna. We begin in california after a 4. 1 magnitude aftershock rattled the Los Angeles Area on saturday. It came after a 5. 1 magnitude earthquake shook the region friday night. The u. S. Geological survey said there had been more than 140 aftershocks and they may be felt for weeks to come. A big ncaa upset made for a hostile night on the university of arizona campus. 15 people arrested after arizonas 6463 overtime loss to wisconsin. They began throwing beer cans and fire crackers at officers. Officers fired pepper balls at the crowd. There were no serious injuries. Theres a new royal family photo captivating the world this morning. It features a rare glimpse of 8. 5monthold prince george. I bet that was one take. The duke and duchess of cambridge wanted to release the photo before their trip to australia. Cities across the globe dimmed lights to raise awareness about energy conservation. Chicago unrecognizable with its iconic willis tower in the dark. And here in new york city the bright lights of broadway were dimmed along with many of times squares big billboards. And they are the biggest losers no more. Saturday night the philadelphia 76ers snapped their 26game losing streak. If youre going to win, win big. They led by double digits in the first quarter. They put up 70 points by halftime. And eventually beat the detroit pistons. That means they are still tied with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the longest losing streak in nba history. This is what we talked about. I dont know whats worse. Not quite winners enough to brag or not quite losers enough to hold a record. Theyre sort of just tires, i guess. So the big question is congrats maybe . The win comes when we get to the draft, right . Yes. They will have the biggest chance to draft a great player for next year. Last night they celebrated as they should. Thanks. In health news Important Information for the millions of people who consume diet beverages. Researchers say older women who drink two or more a day are more likely to develop Heart Disease. Its important to know it may not be a direct cause and effect. In other words, the drinks themselves may not be killers. Perhaps theyre drinking diet sodas to balance out other unhealthy habits. But the results are worth noting. Reporter on any given day, one in five americans will down a diet drink. But a new study says the women who drink the most may be more likely to develop Heart Disease, even die from it. Consumption of two or more diet drinks per day was associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. Reporter the Womens Health Initiative Study looked at 60,000 postmenopausal women over a time frame of nine years. Women who consumed more than two diet drinks a day were 30 more likely to experience a cardiovascular event.

She was even at friday nights ncaa game when the team was sent to the elite 8. Lacey is her with her parents. Thanks for coming on. Lacey, great to have you here. Tell me all about the game on friday. It was fun. It was fun. When they won, what did you do . I was really happy. Did you get to see adreian down on the court . Yeah. Whats your prediction for the next game . Were going to put you on the spot here. Do you think theyre going to win . Yes. Tell me about adreian, what makes him so special in your life . Hes just a really nice person and he loves me and he gives me hugs he picks me up. Hes just like a big brother. Thats such a sgrat story. He called you, right . Sometimes he picks up the phone and gives you a call at home . Uhhuh. Does that make you feel better . Yeah. Let me turn to mom and dad. Matt not all medicine comes in a bottle. Its been great for the whole family, for lacey, just to give her a smile on her face which most of the time she has. Its helped her perk up on days when shes feeling down. Its been great for the whole family to focus on things going on outside of the hospital and treatments and things like that. This all originated because adreian and the team came by and visited the hospital and people do nice things like that and they mean it. But they have busy lives. Heather, were you surprised when he picked up the phone and called and called again . We were a little surprised. He asked if he could have our number so he could check up on her. We think he is just meaning well and probably wont hear from him again, but he did. He texts her and she texts him back. Its kind of evolved from there. Lacey, anything special you do on the day of the game . Do you text him some important advice about the game . I always tell him good luck. Do you give any real advice . Are you a big basketball fan or just an adreian fan . Mostly adreian, but i still like Michigan State. All right. I think theyre going to do well because they eve got a good luck charm in you. Thanks for coming on, and thanks to your mom and dad as well. Thank you for having us. Well send things over to jenna now in the orange room. Shes with todays plaza fan of the day.

Just ahead, weve made it through our 30 day to a better you challenge. Ill tell you how to maintain what weve started. First, these messages. Its a growing trend in business do more with less with less energy. Hp is helping ups do just that. Soon, the worlds most intelligent servers, designed by hp, will give ups over twice the performance using forty percent less energy. Multiply that across over a thousand locations and theyll provide the same benefit to the environment as over 60,000 trees. Thats a trend we can all get behind. Your allergies bring more than sneezing and itchy eyes. They also bring tough nasal congestion. So you need claritind. It combines the leading nondrowsy antihistamine with a powerful decongestant all in one pill. So blow away nasal congestion fast with claritind. Little things like that turn me on i love the way that she smiles when she laughs for awhile and thats our house band for the morning. Bobby mcgrath and the brothers. We continue our sunday brunch this morning with fresh cooks live. Meantime it is the final day of our 30 days to a better you challenge. You made all the small changes to your daytoday routine. Small changes that hopefully youve seen can make a big difference. So heres the deal. Were wrapping this up today. I didnt ask you to do too much at one time. Thats the point of this. I did ask for an open mind from you and just a little bit of sweat. Up, up. Reporter it all started with my challenge to you back on day one. You put effort into your job, into raising your kids. Put a little effort into your health and fitness. More than 140,000 of you met that challenge and so we got to work. Helping you make little tweaks to your diet and exercise routine. We tackled how to clean out your refrigerator. Most of the time the biggest problems are the sodas and fruit juices. Reporter and how to choose healthy snacks while at work. We even turned to the pros and learned how to make Delicious Food with a fraction of the calories. On an unrelated note im a terrible cook. It smells amazing. It smells better than the microwave. Reporter i did this. And of course we exercised a lot. From the plaza to the dance studio. News flash, i cant really dance either. Is this anything . I feel like its something. Okay. So that whole experience was either a highlight or a total embarrassment depending on how you look at it. I challenge you to waum 10,000 steps a day. If you hit that mark every day this month, youve logged 150 miles. 150. Enough to walk across the state of indiana. Along the way we met you and got to know you. I got this right. Nobody can tell you no. Im getting chills. Reporter and hopefully after 30 days you learned something from us as well. Dont stop just yet. While this 30 days is over, your next 30 is about to begin. And its been fun hearing your stories the last three days. We had a good time. Fun to look back. And the good news is its not really over. Heres the deal. Now all you have to do is maintain. So the first thing i tell people to do go back and take a look at your food diary. Reflect on the 30 days youve written down. See what you can do better. Maybe youve been snacking too much at night or mindlessly eating at work. Theres always room to improve. Next thing i would say, celebrate. Sleep in go pamper yourself at the spa, splurge on a pair of running shoes, whatever it is. Theres a way to celebrate without yanking yourself off course. Our 30 days together may be over but we dont want this path to a better you to stop there. Were going to be checking in once a month to see how its going. Send us your questions and ideas so we can get a better sense of how youre doing with all this. We didnt want to just do this we throw out and then leave. This is something weve all done. We wanted you guys to do that. Im not done. Ive got to get over that silly wall we had on the Obstacle Course yesterday. Ive been scaling that wall i didnt think that was silly. Ive been scaling that wall in my brain for the last 24 hours. You can make it happen. All right. Just ahead, dylan is putting the finishing touches on that yummy sunday brunch.
