>> it was complex, but we had some very talented people and very brave people down there. >> one of those talented people re showed us the -- >> with dozens of lives at stake, everyone involved knew the plan had to be exactly right. >> we had 33 people down there, living, asking for help, trusting in us. we have those families there, asking for help also. so it's not a technical thing, it's a human thing. it all led to this, a group photo many thought might never happen. 33 miners rescued after two months in an underground prison,

now their lives begin again. and the miners did in fact say before leaving the mine they formed a pact that they will tell their story, there's already been talk about movies and book deals, they're going to tell their story only as a group, they do however expect to be paid somewhere in the millions. ann? >> natalee morales this morning, thanks. sharon angle told harry reid to, quote, man up. reid called his important extreme and an ally of special interests. meantime the government confirmed there would be no cost of living increase this year for retire rooes and disabled americans because inflation is low. a break through this morning in the swiss alps where a giant drill chewed through a rockwall to create the world's longest

house, you just want to know you're going to get in there and be happy. this is 30 minutes from omaha. this is an old house that sits on the crest of the hill, surrounded by gardens and open fields, this is a house that was going to be torn down by developers, but the neighbors rallied around it and saved the house and aim glad they did. it's got a treasure trove of details in all of the rooms, those nice bay windows, stained glass. wood beam ceiling, that staircase is hand crafted. what's charming on to up of that staircase is a little bench to sit around. >> victorians hard to maintain. >> they're more expensive to maintain because they've got a lot of wood trim on the outside so it costs more just to keep it pretty. >> in wasilla, alaska, the home of sarah palin, this is a spacious shall lay. >> it's a popular style out there in alaska, it's on 1.4 wooded acres on a beautiful lake

called cotton wood. the owner honestly on this one, i can't believe they took the pictures in the dead of winter. that should be totally different if it was taken in the summer or the spring. there it is, you get a sense of the size of the house and the guest cottage to the right end. this is one of the biggest fresh water fishing lakes, it's been named the best in the world and that's your own dock, it's not just for a boat, but your own sea plane if you want to throw that into the mix. inside the so different than the outside. i love the spaciousness of all the rooms. this is a totally open floor plan. there's a kitchen, a little mundane. it should be jazzed up a little bit. it needs a shot of color. the bmpl has those oversized windows. the windows everywhere. and views from every single window. you don't have any neighbors. you should shout forever and nobody's going to hear you on this house. >> that is beautiful. >> let's head to the windy city, chicago, $495,000.

>> a lot of people love chicago and here's a house you could get comfortable in. it's actually in the neighborhood that's famous for being the home to eli's cheese cake factory. it looks like a mid sized house, but wait until you see the inside. it's new on the inside and extremely spacious. see how it has oversized wind windows, there's light in every single room here. it's very well merchandised, this house, they don't have too much furniture, they don't have too little furniture. they really went whole hog in that kitchen. you could just invite the whole neighborhood and have a good time there. there's a fireplace, there's two laundry rooms, there's bay windows in three of the rooms and that's a wood burning fireplace. >> let's go to nevada city, california. this house is on sale for $489,000 and again more great

views. >> it's in an old gold rush town, 60 miles from sample, but it's right at the foothills of the sierra nevada foothills. that's your backyard. how many people can say they live in a place with a backyard like that. the living room inside, when we get in there, you'll see every window has a breathtaking view much like this one. there's the family room, a wood burning fireplace. there's the trim on the fireplace. kind of sweet for a house like this. that's the breakfast area, there's also a dining area you can see off the left side. it's a pretty house. i feel like i have said that about every house. but they're all pretty. >> and you love the staging room house. >> this is a great example of some people can really design a house to make it sell, and other people, the great majority cannot. this was done by the owner, but you can do this for a house and you can sell it for so much more, yet many people put quartered houses on the market and don't know how to

merchandise. >> now let's finish up in indianapolis, indiana. another lakefront property. >> another lakefront and i'm trying to put the emphasis there because i'm already missing the summer. this house you would swear was in florida but it's in indiana. what's interesting is it's a flat roofed house and a lot of people get turned off by flat roofs, but look at the spaciousness of the house, the neatness of the house, it's clean as a whils inside and out. that's the backyard, total privacy, i think the inside of this house is just welcoming. every single room is welcoming, downstairs, upstairs, it's all beautiful. it has three cozy fireplaces, two balconies and of course remember, in this house, you go out the backdoor and you're looking at the lake. >> a lot of lakefront. >> i'm going to sell you something one of these days. >> whatever you're selling, i'm buying.

this 14% rise in bankruptcies, what is your best advice, the first thing people should do is they're having trouble paying their bills. >> here's the thing, you have to be employed of course to pay off your bills and to do that you have to find the money, and that means cutting back on your budget or find a way to make more money to pay down this debt. but most importantly, you've got to make sure to not get any deeper into debt. >> don't get deeper into debt. >> right. >> but how do you dig yourself out of debt. we have many debts in our life. we have mortgage, car payments, credit cards. and credit cards are so important to pay off because they're so exopinionative. the average rate is close to 15%. you've got to pay off those debts as quick as you can. >> another great bit of advice is to seek something called a nonprofit credit counseling. there's a lot of ads out there, people are trying to get your money to help you deal with your debt.

that's a very dangerous thing. >> you see ads everywhere. you have to be very cautious about it. you see debt repair, debt settlement. what you mean is a nonprofit credit counselor. a nonprofit is not going to take your money to -- go to nfcc.org. the national federation of credit kouncounseling. it will cost $20 or $50 to sit down with them. >> nfcc.org. so that's where you go and there are people you can pretty much count on. so what is your priority then once you have this conversation about how to actually attack this debt. >> here's what they can do. they can help to see if they can lower any of your rates, maybe console late your rates. but there's also a debt management program. this is a formal term, it could be informal, you could say i'm going manage my own debt. but a debt management program is

where you pay them a lump sum every month and their job is to disburse and basically pay your creditor a and this is for people who have a lot of trouble keeping track of their debt and getting them paid all at the same time. >> you have to be very careful who you work with and go for a nonprofit credit counselor. >> what do you think about consolidating all your debts. >> people say why not take out a heloc out on my home? or take a lower interest rate. don't tie up your credit card debts to your secured loans, secured loans are like your house or your car, things that can be taken away from you if you can't pay your bill. you could take out a private loan with a lower interest rate to pay off the credit cards and just pay this fixed rate private loan, shop around really carefully for that. >> what i'm hearing you say is that when you pay off your debt you should be thinking about priorities about how to keep

your house, your car. >> what you should make sure that you every month is your mortgage, your car, the things you need to live the life that you live. in terms of your credit card debt, that's the thing that you should pay down first. you don't need to prepay your mortgage or prepay your auto loan if you have outstanding credit card debt. that's you priority in terms of paying it off. >> carmen wong trying to help us in the meantime. still ahead this morning a couple of lucky women from our crowd get instant makeovers and we're going to show you the results coming up after these messages. introducing anew platinum. an avon breakthrough. the first with paxillium technology. it's designed to help restore cell shape... skin looks more contoured...sculpted... re-defined. even your jaw line. anew platinum does it. and only avon has it... with a love it or return it guarantee.

"today," stress eating, it happens to everyone, whether you're crunching numbers at a desk all day, or you're waiting for a dig big date, eating soothes our anxiety. marilyn, tell me, how do we define stress eating? >> stress eating is 100% behavioral, it has nothing to do with being hungry, we eat to soothe, we eat because it tastes good, it feels good. so we have to recognize why we're doing it. >> it's not just negative stress. positive stress also causes stress eating, if you've gotten a new job, more responsibility, you're the head of the pta, there's a lot of pressure. so calming those nerves we always turn to food. >> the first one, identify and channel the source of your stress? >> see what you can control and what you can't.

control is the key issue because you want to learn to manage this. stay in control and find a solution. >> my grandma used to say idle hands are the devil's workshop. in this case it's food. you say keep your hands busy? >> your grandma was right because what's reaching for food is your hands. do something like knitting or crocheting, give yourself a manicure, do some scrapbooking or clean out a drawer, keep your hands busy. >> and you also say keep your mouth busy. >> it's that hand to mouth activity. if your mouth is busy, we have to keep that mouth going. try some sugar free mints, low calorie gum, anything to keep your mouth busy with no calories. >> you say think before your eat. >> think before your eat. it doesn't mean don't eat.

comes into play here. >> it really does. and exercise, picking something you like to do, not that you feel you should do. and it can be anything from taking a walk if you like to run, or something that mind-body experience, something like yoga or something that will help to soothe you, pick something you like, it doesn't have to be long or intense. look for greenery out in the park, whether it's at the park or trees and shrubs those can calm you. late afternoon, and late night. that says it all. >> what about the early morning? >> madeleine, thanks so much. great advice. now up next, now that you have figured out how to stop snacking, we want to get your butt in better shape. we have got five ways to do that. six stress relievers, five ways to get a better butt. we're counting them down right after this.

your ankles so you don't hurt yourself. >> keep yourself -- >> so many people do a step up, she's doing a step across. so she's moving laterally again because she's getting more glut and more butt involved. instead of stepping forward and back, that lateral movement is getting the hips and the butt involved. i would have her do 20 on one leg and 20 on the other leg, as you progress add a higher step or some weight. >> next we have jill. >> what jill's doing is a dead lift. i have shown this exercise before, it works the hamstrings, the muscles in the back of the thigh. you can have a couple of water bottles, you can have some hand weights. we went to a hardware store because we didn't have a bar here and i got a lead pipe. so she's lifting a 10-pound barbell. >> how do you portion your back? >> you want to keep your back

arched the whole time. if you're looking sideways, notice i push my hips back as far as i can, it's not how low you go, it's how far back your hips go. >> melanie, you're working up a sweat. >> i'm going to get you do to this one. notice there's a chair, all we need is a chair, everybody has a chair. she's standing up on one leg and sitting down on both legs. and what's great about this is everyone has a muscle imbalance. everyone has one leg that's stronger than the other. this is to ensure that the stronger leg doesn't overcompensate. >> she's got one leg going there. let's see you get in there. a single leg squat. those are really nice shoes by the way. >> they're uncomfortable. >> so you're sitting down, with both legs, sit down and stand

up. now sit down all the way. and this time you're going to take your right foot off the ground and stand up only on your left leg. >> ann curry is giving to the eye. >> that's great and anybody can do this at home. build your confidence, start off with one leg and then two legs. >> the last one here is called a double lunge, you don't have to go anywhere, you don't need a lot of space. there's no equipment. >> this is the way to go. and again, how far out do you lunge. >> she's lunging forward until there's a 90-degree angle on the front knee and lunging back to

where there's a 90-degree angle on the back leg. >> bring your front foot back behind you, exactly, double lunge and of course you would alternate legs eventually. how's everyone's butt feeling? >> thank you, harley, i appreciate it. i like this butt stuff. coming up, we'll have the results of our ambush makeovers. but first, this is "today" on nbc. imagine denying a pregnant woman the choice of health care providers. only one senator voted with big insurance over pregnant women: andy harris. protecting our bay? harris was the only one to vote against cleaning up toxic waste sites. he always sides with the polluters, one of the worst

environmental records in the senate. and harris was the only one to vote against extending education for special needs kids. no wonder his republican colleagues think he's too extreme. we can't afford his extreme ideas. i'm frank kratovil and i approve this message

>> cheryl heins is still here. >> and she is the greatest living soul singer in america.

storm, a little more friendly. clouds, sunshine, windy conditions. that will be the next during the day. maybe an isolated sprinkle or rainshowers. high temperatures today, 59 to 65 degrees. 65 degrees. for the
