1:53 am
called mediterranean diet which contains a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains plus beans and nuts. the last two are protein sources that help keep blood sugar more steady after a meal. dr. barber says mediterranean cuisine relies more on heart healthy olive oil instead of butter, fish, high in omega fatty 3 acids play a role instead of red meat and dr. barber says the slower pace at which meals are consumed is healthier than our grab & go lifestyle. >> we know the slower you eat, the less you eat, because it takes probably about 20 minutes to 30 minutes for your stomach to realize that you're full. >> so let's talk about the take home message. we need to slowdown. we need to avoid foods that cause a rush in blood sugar like this doughnut and stick to stuff that takes longer to dye guest. here are three more things that research shows help with this process. what i've got here is vinegar, which you can mix with olive oil and that's the traditional
1:54 am
dressing in mediterranean food and the vinegar helps people feel full longer. fish oil tablets. if you take this before a big meal, it helps stabilize fat and sure res in the bloodstream ahead of a big meal and even this little cinnamon, that helps too. >> everybody always giving the glazed doughnut a tough time. >> [laughter]. tonight, we mark a milestone in space exploration. it was 50 years ago that john glenn became the first american to orbit the earth. glenn actually circled the globe three times in his tiny capsule called friend sip 7. today glenn marked that moment at a forum in nasa's future and during that forum, glenn spoke with the crew of the international space station. >> that's neat. >> very cool. i was into space stuff when i was a kid. >> me too, man. >> i got autographs and pictures . good stuff. 50s good stuff.
1:55 am
we'll take that, right? >> yes. >> this time next week our average high is 50. >> wow. already? >> we're getting to that place. >> does that mean winter is over? >> not necessarily but it does not have a pulse right now. >> [laughter]. >> i barely do. let's look outside. here is a live shot with our live weather cam. we're looking at clear skies and it's kind of deceiving because temperature at national is 40 kind of like that heat island effect. winds are calm, pressure is rising, but most everyone else is already in the 30s. satellite picture radar combined. there is a little system in the midwest that is going to roll through here tomorrow. that's why we're seeing a few clouds come in in the afternoon, and now pretty good line of thunderstorms from kansas city almost to little rock. most of the energy and moisture peels to the north of us shooting up toward detroit and pittsburgh so for the most part we'll be in good shape tomorrow and even a little bit milder if those winds pick up out of the
1:56 am
southwest. so a cold start tomorrow, can't emphasize that enough but we'll have a pretty mild finish. you need coat and sunglasses and bundle the kids up at the bus stop but milder on wednesday. well notice a real big change on wednesday and then by thursday, it's going to be almost warm. temperatures on thursday should nudge over 60 degrees. overnight, clear skies cold, one to two blanket night, lows 25-35, winds pretty much diminished now and then for tomorrow morning, mostly sunny with a cold start. i would grab a winter coat. 20s and 30s, winds southeast at 10, and then by afternoon, not a bad day. partly cloudy, breezy and milder. some clouds come in late ahead of that system but highs 50-55 and wins increase southwest 10- 15. that's a warm wind. that's actually a good thing so high temperatures on tuesday, everybody should make it over 50 and if you're in arlington, springfield we're talking 53 downtown and college park, up through 70 probably 51 or 52 in
1:57 am
sterling and 51 or 52 in leesburg, but still a little bit above average and we will take it. we'll break it down. to start 26-36 and then by noon, breezy but 48-53 and then by evening, some clouds come in and high temperatures 50-55 so breezy and just a bit milder. now the next three days, temperatures keep going up. look at wednesday. breezy and 57, thursday with showers in the morning but temperatures should make it to 60 by thursday so we'll call that warm and why wouldn't we? next seven days. friday we'll pay the piper, rain and showers, still mild. temperatures in the mid 50s. it will get cold over the weekend but just for a day. it goes back into the low 40s, mountain snow showers and then back in the 50s as we get into sunday and my goodness back up to around 60 by next monday, so we're almost out of february by next monday obviously. >> okay, thank you so much. so we've been having a pretty good time teasing you a little bit about the snowstorm that wasn't this past weekend but
1:58 am
derek says don't hate, appreciate. >> anita, you know we tend to take it all for granted but predicting the weather is so dang hard than an mit genius named edward lawrence invented chaos theory that says yes, a butterfly flapping its wings in brazil might set off a tornado in texas, so that's why even with his computer models and satellite pictures, topper shutt knows breaking it out a couple more than a couple days of advance in a storm is a dicey day at best but who needs science? when we've got phil the groundhog to see his shadow which predicts six more weeks of winter which would be more incredible if the six weeks before felt like winter and then there's the farmers almanac which predicted this year, "near normal temperatures but above normal snowfall. the snowiest periods will be in mid december, mid and late january and late february."

now, the only consistency the capitols have found since the all-star break is that of losing games. its been over a month since the caps have been able to muster a winning streak, dropping seven of their last 10 and a look on dale hunter's face speaks volumes. tonight, carolina scoring within the first three and a half minutes and moments later, johansson turns the piceance over and they get the pass and then in the second, back to dennis weidman, can't stay on his feet, eric stall goes one on one and look at that. he had two goals tonight and look at your captain.
2:02 am
this sums it up right here. awful, awful performance by the caps and they get shut out 5-0. >> wizards wrapping up their road trip out westin phoenix, randy whitman and gang looking to end a two game skid looking it up third quarter, back to trevor booker slamming it down but the suns go on a 31-6 runs in the third quarter and beat the wizards 104-88. >> as the nationals pitchers and catchers get in their first spring practice and as media flock to space coast stadium, it's hard to ignore the aura surrounding the team, but with the return of healthy jordan zimmerman and steven strossberg saying his arm feels better than it ever has it's hard not to be excited and add in gonzalez and jackson, the nationals have a pretty solid pitching rotation. now some position players reported already and even
2:03 am
though they aren't due until this weekend, anxious to get in that extra work and we'll get our first glimpse when they play georgetown university on march 2nd. >> over the past year, university of maryland athletic director kevin anderson has been trying without much progress to reestablish games between the terms and georgetown's mens basketball teams basically saying if the men don't play each other neither will any of our other sports teams. mark said today it's now up to the coaches. >> jt and i will handle that differently than its being handled right now, but i hope there's a game between us in the future and we get a little bit better and i think it would be great for everybody, but john thompson and i've got to be on the same page for that to happen. >> hoyas coach responded with saying i find it extremely odd that a competent athletic director would choose that method to try to schedule a game. war of words now. >> finally tonight on president's day, those big old
