reid: back now with tonight's 5 for good is about nourishing the bodies and minds of kids in need. nichole: newscenter 5's erika tarantal shows us one local boy's effort to bring a popular workout to homeless children.

ellis is he's been doing 10. crossfit since he was 7. >> it makes me feel more confident and i kind of like it. erika: he is kind of good at it, too, winning competitions. he can lift but his strength of , heart is most outstanding. he's the number 1 fundraiser for an organization called kettlebells 4 kids. >> there's a lot of non-profits out there that support shelters, food, clothing, even early education for homeless kids but there's really no non-profit that's out there that's bringing active play and fitness into shelter. erika: a huge missing piece, says founder amie owens. since 2014 her organization has been supporting shelters with play equipment and spaces. this spring they start a pilot program in the boston area bringing their own workouts into shelters. we're working with crossfit and crossfit kids to take the curriculum and then adapt it a bit to really be able to work on the emotional and social issues that homeless kids face. this is something shelters need. erika: dr. carmela decandia, the

center on family homelessness, has been consulting on the program. >> four kids movement is , critical for young children in particular, when you move it's actually tied to your brain development. erika: it was a sad statistic that sparked shiloh's passion. >> the reality is the average age of a homeless person is 9-years-old in our country. erika: see he was 9 when he first met amie. >> a kind of hit me -- well why , shouhe some $20,000 for kettlebells 4 kids. talk about a champion for a cause that plans to change so many lives. >> if we support childrens' development now and help develop them for the future we are literally changing the course of -- and saving generations for years to come. erika: born in mass, kettlebells 4 kids is expanding nationally, already in about 2 dozen states. find out how to support the effort on wcvb.com. wcvb newscenter 5. nichole: what a great kid.

>> this is an editorial by wcvb channel president and general manager bill fine. mr. fine: the traditional benchmark for evaluating a new president is after their first 100 days in office. but with donald trump, we've already learned old rules don't apply. the clock is running right now on his new administration. his choices will draw extra scrutiny, with no past track record to weigh. will president-elect trump surround hlf traditional confidantes in the mold of his new chief of staff reince priebus, former rnc chief, or lean more towards political operatives like breitbart boss steve bannon, his new chief strategist? it is unclear. the transition team itself is already in transition, but we should know soon. what is clear? trump is reaffirming some of his campaign promises and already softening others. reflecting consistency with his campaign pledges he'll put

while the first amendment may be jeopardy. but the wall, he says now, might actually be a fence in sections and impractical to build in others. instead of deporting all illegal immigrants, he'll target what he calls the criminal element. and block any incoming syrian refugees. he may not try to throw his defeated opponent, hillary clinton, in jail. will he drain the swamp? or simply restock it? depends on your definition and poof and instead of throwing out all of obamacare, he's opened the door to reform, rather than repeal and replace. both his supporters and detractors are not quite sure what president trump will do. rethinking and/or moderating a large number of his campaign promises, however, would be a welcome start in his first 100 days. >> from boston's news leader, this is wcvb newscenter 5 at 5:30.

nichole: take a live look over i think the numbers fell for everyone, mike, because of the wind. mike: the wind, the cold, we just suddenly went to winter. remember a week ago monday, it was 66 degrees. here is where the snow has been falling out to the west. we are seeing some totals ranging from two inches in barrington, but a few places

speaking of worcester, a few reports of light snow mixing in the air. we could see some of that accumulate on the grassy areas. the accumulating snow well -- will pass to the west. once you get beyond 495, a better opportunity we are seeing on snow and grassy areas. even toward nashua we are seeing a little mix going on, but it's what is going to happen as far as snowfall totals are concerned? this one has a very good handle. this is what it looks like. i have one computer model that was just all over the board and it is kind of showing that again, but it's more in line with the other computer models. i look at this, i say, ok, there

squeeze into this area. that is where we see additional snowfall as you look all the way up into the green mountains. here is the story. the wind at the southwest at 21. the windchill index is 30 degrees. that is why there is a wind advisory all the way until 7:00 tomorrow night. we will see these westerly winds tonight, tomorrow, with occasional gusts up around 50 miles per hour. that means tomorrow mng a high-impact weather day. you'll notice the wind chill index in the morning, some places in the west will be in the single digits. as the day goes on, the windchill will improve, but not that much. this is a big change from the last few days. breezy conditions on tuesday. a big travel day. keep in mind, there may be delays in st. louis, chicago,

that will try to track eastward and as it does that, it gives us the opportunity for seeing snow or mix. a slight chance of a light mix, early football games. rain showers on and off. does not look like a big system. i just want to give you a heads up. the wind will not be back on things giving day. i think saturday is the best opportunity to see some rain. eventually it does clear out board, temperatures in the 40's. say goodbye to those 50's and 60's. >> now here is mike lynch, with sportscenter 5, powered by extremity. -- xfinity. mike lynch: patriots and 49ers well underway out in santa clara without rob gronkowski who didn't make the trip. homecoming for tom brady who grew up in san mateo and it's

the pre-nine in the san francisco area. even robert caskey missed his extra point of the year. taking it down into the heart of texas, the cowboys and the ravens. baltimore on the board first. 18 yards out, 7-0, ravens. all boys after that. prescott, three custom passes. ties the game at 7 tony romo and he's not giving that job back. that one put dallas up17-10. second half, prescott, dallas has won a franchise pick, 9 in a row.

he made 44 straight field goals. he went wide right with this 42 yarder, ending the longest streak in nfl history. that is quite the accomplishment the colts are now 5-5 on the season. the great saturday night for the boys of winter. the celtics won in michigan while the bruins pasted the jets at the garden, while the bruins on lot it -- unloaded thirtyish a they are on their way. more than enough. he wins again. third period power-play, patrice bergeron. the bruins 3-0. winnipeg would get one.

pretty good idea of the value of al horford and jae crowder last night in all hills, michigan. both returned from injuries and were part of the celtics' 2- point win last night. the story was al horford, 5 assists and 3 blocked shots. he infused all a big play at the end of the game asal horford with a great, great -- horford would score and put the celtics up. what's the defensive play at the other e. he gets a piece of it, and the celticswin it 94-92.

coming up in our show is coming together, 7:30 and 11:30, i will be wearing goodies from four different schools. our man cave is being worked on. but we have sportscenter ot tonight. we have patriots highlights from san francisco and locker room reaction. we have chris cap are. and high 5 -- running for themselves, but more important, their latco tonight's cutting edge improving how objects absorb impact. nichole: the local work that this year, i want the best bird for my family and my wallet. nature's promise fresh turkey is only 99 cents per pound with no antibiotics ever.

i want to go really big with my appetizers. we can do it without blowing our budget. oh yeah, this is great!

reid: tonight's cutting edge -- everything from sneakers to helmets and electronics contain a material that absorbs energy from an impact. nichole: and now, work by researchers at mit is changing the way that material works. it's something you really have to see to understand. mike wankum has tonight's cutting edge. mike: this is not your average researchers at mit testing visco-elastic material, material that is essentially a shock absorber, found inside all sorts of products. >> they are in your shoes. they are in protective equipment. they are in components to protect electronics, like, say, your cell phone. mike: robert maccurdy at mit's computer science and artificial
