the north out there. and north east out there. for the most part, they are out to the west. lyll see these, well, al increase coverage over the next six hours or so. and especially tomorrow morning. they have a little shower there. some showers down to the south at 66. headed towards the plane to put this in motion. everything is drifting very slowly off to the east. and back to the computer, i won't put this in motion. temperatures, well, 91 out there. that's kind of the false reading. 88 out here and 87 downtown. tomorrow morning, mostly cloudy showers and storms. and i'm going to have heavy rain. then more showers and storms in the afternoon. some heavy rains, high around 80. but the good news is, the heavy stuff, well, it's still set out there. and the heavier stuff, they hope they never become out there for quite a while. they should be over by the pregame show that starts at 7:30. then maybe a thunderstorm on saturday. leftover shower and sunny. not bad. much cooler next week. >> you can't wipe that out

altogether. >> i have worked pretty hard getting that out there. >> work a little hard, would you please? the pressure is on. >> speaking of pressure, and the influence for them, just a little on season two. >> i imagine that he is. people ask me that all the time. how do you like them? i like them a lot. i think that the bigger point is that it does not matter who likes them because as we all know, it's all about results. if they don't win this year, it's a good chance you'll like them somewhere else. they are here in washington with less than a football season more of a chinese fire drill getting hired in january and promoted out there, literally four months to put together a coaching staff to get ready for the season. this time around, well, no fire drill. i sad down with the head coach to discuss their second year including his curious relationship with his star runningback.

>> i don't want to say that it is bad, but they have had moments out there. and i want things one way and he did not see it that way. he wants them out there and i wanted to see it the other way. >> but it is not a problem for them because we worked it out. and i have tried not to have very many rules. i have tried not to create some sort of weird power play for them on guys. i'm just going about my business and he's going about his business. we all eventually come together. i think that we all know that the running waábg has a shelf like. >> what do you say, they played

ten years when he came out here, they had more out there, absolutely. were we shocked when he was in detroit quitting two days before then? yes, absolutely. he might have been able to play 14. i don't know. now that it is year two, how has your comfort level changed in terms of feeling like youing belong? i think what's going to happen is that they really needed to get it out there to help the young rookies out there improve quicker than we ever could have last year, just because of the veterans were learning, the coaches were learning. and we're going to be that much cooler ahead. >> the giants are just two years out there.

no one is going to get that out there. do you think that they are out there? they want us to fail. and we don't. so we're going to put all the care out there in the strain of being an excellent football team into being the preseason and the regular season and try to have an opportunity for them to earn the right to get in the playoffs to do something. >> i like his m titoy adbr m br the patriots tomorrow right here on wusa9. the game proceeded by ada redskins tailgate special, brian mitchell joining sarah and da and me from fedex field for a complete preview. the game at eight, right here at 9 and hopefully by the time we

start, the rain will be completed. my voice will be somewhere back where it belongs, but i doubt it. >> that's on both. >> right. >> a little hot seats, whatever. >> we'll hope for it. up next, a rub on vaccine to keep ear infections at bay. what parent wouldn't like that in our living well report? because they are making it happen. don't forget we're always online at wusa9.com. stay with us to make living well's segments yours next. b@ a

ear infections make kids and parents miserable. doctors are also worried about overusing antibiotics to treat them. now a researcher team is working on a vaccine to provide a pain-free solution. >> even when she is feeling well, she doesn't like getting her ears checked for good reason. only nine months old and has had eight ear infections. her mom will tell you that treating them is not easy. >> even the medicine alone, they don't like the flavor of it. at this stage, it's hard to sneak into anything. >> reporter: scientists at nationwide hospital are working on an alternative, involving a single drop of liquid, one that is not injected or even

swallowed, but simply rubbed on the outside ear. it's a vaccine, designed to stop the ear infections before they ever start. >> that is the best results i have seen in my career which is saying a lot. >> she says it works by activating the cells just underneath the surface of the skin. with when they touch the skin, it touches off the response throughout the body. they generate in a response for them to hammer that out there which you're doing all the time that is now directed towards the specific disease. >> and they said that they still need to be done before the vaccine is ready to test on kids. but they could help them around the world live carefree painful lives. >> they are also in the works. right now, ear infections, they are often treated by the antibiotics. but more and more are saying we need to wait and see that approach because eight out of ten cases do clear up on their

own. >> they suggest the pain relievers like all of that. and finally, kids, they should get a followup appointment to make sure that there is no fluid building up in the ears because that could affect a child's hearing. thank you for joining us nor fine news now at five. nine news now at six must start right now. we're live outside the kennedy center here, therefore for a public viewing. thousands lined the street -sz as they passed by. and some people, they have been waiting there since 6:00 this morning. thank you for joining us. >> at this very moment, they are remaining out there for ted kennedy. d
