came out. and i'm looking at all of these things saying how can i work around these defects. and then that machine came out and there it was all the features i needed. no manual. i picked it up. it was obvious how to run it. simplicity of function and getting it right and getting it exactly the way people need it. >> so what happens to apple now now that their guru is gone? >> that's tough. i don't know how good a manager he was and how good a structure he was able to build up. certainly apple has the resources. and they've hired the best. and they should be able to go on. there is many years of product in the pipeline that they'll be developing. so we really won't know for a few years. >> but there is only one steve jobs. >> unfortunately, yes. when people say is the ceo of the company worth anything? why are they paying the

tremendous salaries? i don't see why. but with this guy, it was obvious. >> thank you tonight. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. news of job's death spread like wildfire across facebook and twitter. on our wusa9.com facebook page, more than 100 people posted condolences. now, twitter nearly shut down with all of the tweeting of the news at one point. time magazine tweeted out bill gates as saying i will miss steve immensely. president obama posted this. rest in peace, steve jobs. from all of us, thank you for the work you made possible every day, including ours. and talk show hostess ellen degeneres tweeted this out, i just finished my show and i have --. you can share your thoughts at our website or go to our facebook page and click there as well. and tonight we go to prince george's county where police are warning women who walk to the

do. travel together. >> i'm shocked. that's something you don't think about when you're going to work that you're going to get mugged or sexually assault. you're just not prepared for that. >> reporter: are you going to act differently now? >> well, luckily we're walking together. and that's what we normally try to do. walk in groups. and just be aware of your surroundings. >> i'm always on guard. i don't trust anyone. especially with the time changing. it gets dark earlier. i always watch my surroundings. >> reporter: smart stay police. and if you have to be alone. >> be on the phone talking to someone who can respond if you need help. >> reporter: police are not completely convinced it's the same attacker, but in each case he's described as a darkly compleks black male between 5'5" and 5'6". police say if you know anything call them. and they urge pedestrians here to be careful. derek and anita >> always a good warning. tomorrow the jury reconvenes in the trial of a woman charged with throwing her 2-year-old

manet few hours later. -- a man a few hours later. it is possible. >> the prince george's county police department says the case is under investigation. walker is being held without bond charged with first degree murder. you've heard of folks defending their home with a variety of weapons, but what about a musical instrument? this is what went down last weekend in manassas. shawn now being hailed as a guitar hero after he fought off a drunk home invader with an acoustic guitar. but why the choice of weapon? >> it was the first thing i picked up because it was right next to my chair. i pishd him out the door -- pushed him out the door. >> i thought it was pretty funny. >> i would have picked a bat. that's just me. >> well, the bat sounds better, i guess, in a way. but the guitar did just fine. 32-year-old john mayhew was arrested and taken to the hospital with his wounds. he's facing a whole slew the charges.

. even as i filed this report, i can see it in our newsroom where journalists will tell you it changes depending on the time of the day. >> and we're not alone. it seems every industry has its stressful crunch time. for us it's deadline. for the restaurant industry, it's dinner. >> we're running back and forth. sometimes forgetting an order you meant to send earlier. so all hell breaks loose. >> reporter: six years of serving tables will give you this stress level. >> between 1 and 10 probably like a 15. >> reporter: and speaking of numbers, i get a lot of them when i pass out mayo clinic's stress test. the final result. stress is close to a high level. in here not much better. and here we actually see the lowest stress numbers or maybe says one surgeon and father that's for a good reason. >> you have to realize there are some people who are going to kind of downplay the degree of their stress, especially if it's on camera and broadcast to the world. >> reporter:

that's right. ♪ under pressure ♪ >> reporter: brittany morehouse, 9news now. >> cool in front of the camera. now, the report lists the most common causes of stress is an excessive workload, the management style of a boss and restructuring in the workplace. that stresses people out. problems at home rank fourth on this list. topper. well, we have stress-free weather. at least for a little while. we'll show you the wakeup weather. very nice. by tomorrow morning, upper 40s to low 50s. in the 50s by 9:00. cool but pretty much pure sunshine. we'll come back and talk about what a back door cold front means to thursday, friday and the weekend. still ahead tonight, caught on tape. a collision that redefines the phrase hang on to your seat. plus a last resort for those hoping for a few more good days. a

do, this one really is using the tools of the patient's own immune system to actually fight and kill the cancer cells. >> the therapy is a three-part process and right now patients only get one shot at it. >> the immune cells are collected, you go to the laboratory where they're activated against a certain protein produced by the cancer cell fused to another protein that helps to activate the immune system. this then activates the immune cells that we've delivered to the laboratory. they're now activated against prostate cancer. we then infuse them back into the patient within a couple of days. >> phil has finished up the third infusion with few side effects. he'll now continue to be monitor and hope it will help his own body keep the cancer from spreading. >> that's the whole ball game here. slow the time bomb down. >> and just keep going. it costs almost $95,000 for that entire cycle you saw there. but it is often covered by

medicare and most private insurance companies, though some patients have to advocate to get it. we also have a special programming note. this saturday at 9:00 p.m., we're airing a one hour health special cutting edge beating breast and prostate cancer to look at the newest ways to fight both of those diseases. caught on tape, a good reason to hang on tight. surveillance cameras captured the action from all angles when a light rail train collided with a dump truck. wow. that is downtown houston. look at the passenger. >> ou. >> oh, my goodness. they're just thrown all over the place. can you believe it? no serious injuries. investigators say the truckdriver is at fault. he ran a red light. >> wow. >> wow. talk about an impact. >> talk about caught on tape. >> yes. >> everything is on tape. >> these days it is. >> you better be careful. >> yes. you never know. all right. 74 today. average is 73. we finally got to average. we're going to try to keep it there for a while. let's start with temperature. it's cool but not crazy controlled.

i mean, low -- crazy cold. i mean low 60s. 55 in gaithersburg. leesburg. frederick checking in at 50. more like 52. 57 at andrews and 55 down in fredericksburg. so we're looking at really a nice stretch here. now, here is the deal. it will be cooler but nice tomorrow. back door front goes through tonight. it will turn milder very quickly on friday. it will be nice friday night and a spectacular weekend. i'm going to go ahead and on a wednesday go ahead and just say that. it's going to be a spectacular weekend. it will help us forget last weekend. as bad as last weekend was, that's how nice it's going to be this weekend. overnight clear skies. chilly. lows 46-54. winds will turn northeasterly at ten once the back door front goes through. now, tomorrow morning, sunny with a chilly start. grab your glasses, sunglasses that is. 40s and 50s. it will warm up to 50s and 60s after 9:00. fairly rapidly. winds northeasterly at ten. and then by afternoon, the winds

die down. sunny and pleasant. a little cooler. but still a pretty nice day. high temperatures 65-70. and with light winds, it's going to feel closer to 70. in some areas i think it actually will hit 70s. down towards arlington, springfield, fort belvoir probably 70. 68 in bowie. 69 at andrews. southern maryland down in charles county 70. but more than likely upper 60s in fairfax and reston. still a beautiful day. 67 in middleburg. so we'll break it down for you. you need a jacket to start. a light jacket. and then your shades. we're looking at temperatures mid 40s to mid 50s at 7:00. so the high schoolers have it kind of on the chilly side. nice by noon. temperatures in the 60s with sunshine and then 65-70. a little bit cooler than today. a little bit cooler than average. but still a fantastic day. now, the next three days, notice it gets milder on friday.

pure sun. 72. pure sun on saturday. we're going to be flirting with 80 degrees by saturday. next seven days, if we don't make 80 on saturday, we will on sunday. low 80s on sunday. low 80s for columbus day. and we're talking kind of in the weather hardly a cloud in the sky. on tuesday partly cloudy. temperatures still around 80. and then wednesday because it's so warm, a cold front will approach and that will trigger actually showers and perhaps some thunderstorms. we haven't talked about thunderstorms in a couple of weeks. and temperatures around 75. so that might make us forget last weekend. what do you think? >> let it go. >> off the hook. >> you got it. >> okay. brett haber is up

beef ribs are not as good as pork ribs, but beef ribs are still better than no ribs. [ laughing ] >> that's good. i'm glad we're clear on that. >> the easiest job in america has to be the pitching coach for phillies. you pretty much just give them the ball and drink coffee all

night. tonight it would be olswalls turn with just one loss. perhaps ribs were his pregame meal. a chance to clinch for the phillies but he was not his usual self. cards lead 3-2 in the 4th. then in the 6th it would be the same man. frees taking olswalls deep. two-run shot. there will be a game five on friday. switching gears, redskins are now off for the buy week, but you can't go a day anymore without a redskins line backer winning some kind of award. tiger woods isn't winning, but he is getting paid again. the former number one has signed his first major endorsement deal since the first scandal two years ago. he signed with rolex. it is believed to be lucrative and long-term. six years ago today a

20-year-old kid named alex ovechkin made his debut. he scored two goals tonight. no doubt a stanley cup would soon follow. the thing is, six years later it hasn't followed. caps have been good, for sure, winning their division a number of times. winning the president's trophy. but when it comes to the playoffs, like the fans in la, they exit early. they enter the season with the cup on their mind. >> i think expectations are big. but it's a good thing. we're going to rel itch that and do the -- relish that and do the little things right. >> all right. we hope so. time to cast your vote for -- it's dark. dr. fill is here phil is here.
