player is charged with murder in the death after woman s lacrosse player. nbc s norah o donnell is in charlottesville, virginia with more on this story. norah, good morning. reporter: good morning, ann. this is a tragic story. two senior star players on their lacrosse teams just weeks away from graduating with bright futures ahead of them, and now one is dead and the other is behind bars. yeardley love was just 22 years old. beautiful, smart, and a star lacrosse player. the police say she was murdered by her former boyfriend, george huguely, a dashing midfielder on the number one-ranked men s lacrosse team. today is a tragic set of circumstances for two young people who i think literally stand on the threshold of their lives. reporter: love s roommate called police around 2:15 a.m. monday morning concerned that love may have been suffering from alcohol poisoning. patrol officers arrived on the scene. it was quickly apparent to them that this young lady was the victim of something far worse. there were obvious physical injuries to her body. reporter: police say huguely quickly became the focus of the investigation and he was arrested just hours later. he has since been charged with first degree murder. reporter: the entire community at the prestigious university of virginia known for top scholarship and southern charm is shocked and saddened. but that shock and disappointment and concern, of course, is magnify by the fact that she was murdered by one of our own. reporter: huguely, now behind the goal, beats donovan up the right pipe, man open, shot score. reporter: huguely was set to compete in the ncaa tournament with his team later this month. he hails from the wealthy d.c. suburb of chevy chase and was an honor student at the very same prep school where several of the so-called duke lacrosse players went. during that scandal in 2006, the players were falsely accused of rape and huguely told the washington post, i sympathize for the team. they they ve been scrutinized so hard and no one knows what has happened yet. i think that we re lucky to have a strong xunt here to get us through it. reporter: many, too, at this university are also in mourning for the death of one of their own, described by friends as an angel. how could this happen to such a wonderful person, a person that was described as an angel but teammates and friends. reporter: yeardley s high school lacrosse coach said she was always our laughter of good soul. contributor in every imagine imaginable. great athlete and a great team player. reporter: police say an autopsy will begin today. as for the suspect, george huguely, he s going to have a bond hearing later this morning. ann? norah o donnell this morning, thank you. flights to and from ireland were

panhandle of florida into central georgia. heavy rain gaulg thefalling the. moisture coming into the pacific northwest with some rain. we expect afternoon thunderstorms move through the northeast. a little disturbance comes on-board. expect to see slight risk of strong storms throughout central wisconsin today with showers through the northern plains. beautiful weather from texas on good morning, everyone, and i am tony. we are off to a quiet start, but a front will come through this afternoon. afternoon. now joy s diet s.o.s. nutritionest and today contributor joy bauer is here answering your questions. let s go to skype. danya in bethesda, maryland has a question about petie i eatinga workout. my question for you is when is the best time to work out after a meal? i ve heard four hours is best because then you have nothing in your system so that you can immediately start burning off the fat in your system but i ve heard that s actually pretty bad. from the weight loss perspective the timing of your meals and when you exercise does not make a difference. in terms of weight loss, all that matters is the total amount of calories that you are consuming through food, and the total amount of calories that you re burning via your daily activities and your planned exercise. but when it comes to the comfortability of eating and then exercising, that definitely matters. i say that in terms of your big meal, a breakfast, a lunch or a dinner, make sure that you eat that at least three hours prior to hitting the gym. but whether it comes to a small snack, you want something with carbohydrate. that can be eaten within an hour of working out. a piece of fruit, or a non-fat yogurt. make sure you hydrate, too. hydrate something even more important than what you re eating. so you definitely want to be drinking a decent amount of water. that s going to be your best beverage. enjoy the workout, danya. thank you. next an e-mail from pauline in toronto, canada. could you give me a daily meal plan example for lowering blood pressure? yes. this is a great question. the first thing is obvious. you want to mindfully watch the amount of salt and sodium that you re taking in. most of the sodium nowadays is found in processed, packaged foods. the good news is, when you eat clean wholesome foods, you are lowering your sodium intake and you re taking in the nutrients that help you to manage your blood pressure. first thing are going to be fruits, vegetables and legumes. second thing are whole grains over refined grains. low-fat and nonfat dairy, two to three servings a day, whether the calcium, vitamin d or milk proteins, we know it helps manage blood pressure. lean proteins, skinless poultry, fish, keep your overall heart and blood vessels healthy. last thing, nuts and seeds. a quick meal plan for a whole day. oatmeal in the morning made with skim milk and topped with some fresh fruit. for lunch, she can have whole wheat bread with sliced chicken and some crunchy vegetables on the side. a great afternoon snack would be unsalted sunflower seeds and some nonfat yogurt. for dinner, broiled salmon, just don t want to use salt to season it. sauteed kale with olive oil, a half of a baked potato. the dessert of choice is dark chocolate. if you don t like dark chocolate, juicy cantaloupe. because it is loaded in potassium which we know helps manage blood pressure. out to the plaza, amy from atlanta, georgia has a question. good morning. i m having my first baby the end of july. i wondered what s the best way to lose that extra baby weight different from other diets. congratulations! yay! that s terrific. you know what? there s really not a different way to lose weight after you have your baby than the general rules that we know. eat less, move more. but if you re planning on nursing, you don t want to dip below 1,600 calories because you don t want to compromise your milk production. the other thing to be aware of, after you give birth you re going to be very tired. you are going to be up round the clock. so just don t eat, you know, in and out of the kitchen when you re up for those feedings. be very mindful over what not to grab and what to grab. and it s going to come off. be forgiving because everybody s body reacts differently. it took nine months to put it on. it could take up to nine months to take it off but it s coming off. great. thank you so much. congratulations. that s fantastic. all right, joy, thank you so much. coming up, sprucing up your garden and pad yo. which quick fixes can you do for under $75. up next, it is called the

there are certain things that work. this menu in particular works because basically you can take the dates, fill the dates with the cheese, then wrap them about an hour before you actually eat. you call this cheese-stuffed dates with prosciutto. it is a perfect combination of sweet, creamy and salty. little goat cheese, mascarpone to sweeten it up. and some basil. all that? yeah. you like spices. you like herbs. yes. because i think fresh heshs arb a lot of flavor. then have you tro take the pit out of the dates. you don t want to break their teeth. slice them, they come right out. great thing about dates, they re super sweet, chewy and easy to fill. you got a little baggy, cut out a little corner. it is easy to put in there. or use a spoon. pretty. right? then take a piece of the prosciutto. okay? and you just wrap the date. you folded it a little bit. just so i could see the filling. but you don t have to. i take a little skewer. how much ahead can you make that? this can be done day before. pop them in the fridge. bring them out to room temperature. wrap them in prosciutto on about an hour before. that and glass of wine, crisp white wine, you re good. garbanzo beans and risotto. so a little bit of garlic, i take it out because i don t want to eat it. i don t actually want to bite into it. you kind of smell after a while. i like it but you re right, if you re serving other people. if you like it, chop it finely and leave it in. this is the way i grew up. add a few mustard greens in here. this isn t something people often cook with. it s not. i use swiss chard or muss tar greens. it is great way to get people to eat their greens. they can sit, they re hearty. make this the morning of or day before. then i add baby spinach. this is your kind of food. i love this kind of food. olive oil. saute that until they wilt. i add a little bit of salt. cook this, dump into the spinach and swiss chard. how much ahead can you make this meal?
