sooner than expected thanks in small part to 9news now. organizers at the action in community said they had a 50% increase in demand overnight. they could not keep up with it. they were going to be closed until november 1st. but thanks to a flood of donations, they will reopen next tuesday afternoon. 9news now has been covering their struggle to fill the shelves and the stroll tiers and workers say it -- volunteers and workers say it made an impact in people coming in to help. >> with the news coverage it's been incredible. i was on my way last night with 7:30 and a woman drove up with her two boys in the car and she said please don't leave. she said i know you're on the way home but the boys made me go through the grocery store right now. they knew they had friends in school that were hungry so we had to bring you food so they could feed their friends. >> the food pantry is also

paraded through the streets. the u.s. and other nato countries say they'll new work with libyans to promote a stable government there. in the wake of gadhafi's death, some foes are given the president credit for doing the right thing when it came to libya. that's because they know the voters don't really care. derek. >> well, anita, it wasn't always this way. remember the hillary clinton add from 2008. the campaign the phone rings in the twhiet house at 3:00 a.m. -- white house at 3:00 a.m. something is happening out in the world. who do you want answering the phone. with the help of the loyal secretary of state hillary clinton, the current guy is taking okay taking the international crises calls 3:00 a.m. or otherwise. gadhafi out of power not dead. not one american life dead. osama bin laden dead. and, of course, you have the plot to assassinate the saudi ambassador right here in this country.

foiled. now, it's a tough situation in the wars in iraq and afghanistan, but those wars are now winding down. the problem is right now that the president is having a lot of success fighting al qaeda. but the fact is nobody really cares. and the president knows the economy is the thing this time. and in this stupid economy, taking down the evil doers will earn the president a few flattering headlines. but as bush learned in an economy like this one, it's hard to earn him money votes. >> all right, derek. have you seen the new barbie? plenty of tude and plenty of tats. the barbie has pink hair, sky high stilettos and look at the tattoos on her shoulder. this ink is permanent. some folks say got to have it. others say you have to be kidding. >> i don't think it's appropriate for the girls to be having barbies with tattoos all

over. >> i think it sends all the wrong signals for the young girls. >> now we're being told that barbie is being marketed online. it's aimed at collectors, not kids. the price, a collectable 50 bucks. some websites have already sold out. with that kind of demand, don't be surprised if you see this lady popping up at a toy shelf near you, especially in time for christmas. oh, how great. >> yes. well, ttion the fall. and that means two things if you're a high school student. football and homecoming. and tonight urbana high school had their big game and the focus was not on the players. >> as kurt brooks shows us, all eyes were on tonight's homecoming king. >> number 90. >> reporter: at urbana high school in urbana maryland, it's homecoming time. what is so special about that? meet kevin shomers, homecoming king. how does it make you feel? >> it feels good. >> it's very cool. i think that our student population has chosen a worthy

king. somebody that embodies our school spirit and has probably the most school spirit in the school. what do you think? >> yes. >> yes. >> reporter: kevin has downs syndrome. >> i think we have a student body that is able to see past differences and see the true good in people. and they were able to see that kevin is the obvious choiz for king. right? -- choice for king. right? >> yes. >> here we go, here we go. >> it means everything to us because the kid just deserves it. 100%. we all love him. >> my heart is about to burst. i'm so happy for him. >> reporter: in the end, don't know whether the hawks won or lost. don't even know the score. but we do know a winner. >> kevin. >> reporter: in urbana, kurt brooks, 9news now. >> he is beaming ear to ear. good kids out there. >> we like that kind of stuff. >> let's face it, not a lot of that going on around here lately. >> no.

but that really shows a lot. winds dying down. it's going to be a little cool. i know you folks are thinking it's too cold. >> it was. >> it was. it was freezing. >> my hair was really taking a beating out there. [ laughing ]. >> your hair taking a beating. i heard that. let's talk about the temperatures because this is kind of cool. it's 55 at national but it's 36 in oakland. we pointed this out earlier this evening. it's only 170 miles and look at the difference in climate. most of the burbs in the 50s. satellite picture radar combined, one storm lagged behind and right now it's sitting over michigan. it's going to stay there and slowly drift northward. the good news is it's weak enough and far enough north and west of us where it's actually going to dry some dryer air in here overnight. in fact, we're going to see skies return partly cloudy. most of the clouds will be confined to pennsylvania border and northward through the night. here is the deal. we're actually in pretty good shape. breezy friday morning but not

windy. grab a jacket and sunglasses. that is going to be required for tomorrow. great for high school football weather tomorrow night. i mean, temps in the 50s. not much wind. crisp and very, very nice. and it looks like third in a row. our third nice weekend in a row. temps keep falling each weekend but we're working our way through october. that's okay. overnight partly could breezy and chilly. winds out of the southwest at 10-15. now, tomorrow morning partly cloudy, breezy and chilly. leave your sunglasses. o 40s and 50s to start and a little breezy in the morning. southwesterly at 10-15. that's a far cry from winds today that gusted over 30 miles an hour. by afternoon partly cloudy and cool. perfectly night. high temperatures 60 and winds out of the northwest at ten. so not breezy or warm at all in the afternoon. day planner 40s to start, though a chilly start at 7:00. 55-60 by noon but sunshine. and then 58-63 by evening with partly cloudy skies. yes, kind of cool but perfectly nice. and we're not going to have the cloud cover tomorrow afternoon

that we had this afternoon. the next three days, just gets better really. saturday 62 with sunshine. hope to see you on the mall. nine and madison for autism speaks walk. great on sunday. even milder on sunday. sunshine and temperatures in the mid 60s. the next seven days, we're in pretty good shape through the weekend. monday a weak system approaches so we'll put clouds in and maybe a shower. i think we're going to make it into the 70s wednesday and thursday. maybe a couple of sprinkles on wednesday, but i think with temps in the 70s, we can endure a couple sprinkles. >> oh, yes. >> maybe that will be warm enough for you guys. >> not if it's sprinkling. no, no. >> not if it's sprinkling. >>. [ laughing ] >> no. >> no. all right. undefeated. that's what we like to hear. >> that is the capitals. red hot to start. the caps ovechkin hasn't been as red hot as the rest of his team. he has just one goal in the

first five games but it was a matter of time before he got things going. caps fan remember this guy hosting alex ovechkin and the caps. backstrom gets it to ov. he goes behind the back. in the third, the flood gates open. ov again with this high shot on the power play. two for him tonight. caps go up 4-1. they capsize the flyers 5-2. they're 6-0. bad news for basketball fans, though. after three more days of meetings, talks between the two sides are going nowhere. wizards guard john wall lashed out today saying i think he's trying to take advantage of us. i think we're doing a great job but not biting what he wants you us to do. no future talks have been scheduled. game two of the world series between the cardinals and the rangers. this one close to the very last out. game tied at 1. the top of the 9th that's young. brings in andrews from third which proved to be the game winner. rangers tie up the series.

they come back to win 2-1. time to reveal our high school game of the week. the big winner. jefferson at marschall. highlights will lead off tomorrow's toyota game night report at 11:00. redskins travel to charlotte sunday to face the fighting cam newton. we'll break down the game in our redskins pregame pick. that is coming up next aft

welcome back, everything. i'm joined by our redskins insider david eltson. we got predictions. first the big news of the week. mike shanahan naming john beck as the start. shanahan said he was pretty impressed. you've been in the locker room all week long. now that he's been named the starter, do they still have the same feeling that things aim towards beck. >> i think santana moss still thinks rex grossman should be.

i don't know if the receivers necessarily feel that way, but erik cook the new center has been practicing with beck all along. i think some feel bad for rex and he had one bad game and he's out. >> you mentioned erik cook the new center. he's one of a few new players/positions on the offensive line. they lost trent williams this past week. but having all of these new players shuffled around, what kind of effect does that have? >> definitely a negative effect. both guys are gone over there. carolina is not the best defense in the league. if you were playing the ravens, it would be a problem. it's good to get a break from an inferior defense and see what happens down the road. >> carolina has been setting records left and right and they're still 1-5. what kind of threat is he to the redskins defense? what kind of threat does he pose? >> he's a little bit different

than michael vick. he's a two-way threat but he's 6-foot 5, 250. this guy will run over people. apparently tech has been passing off this guy. he has a cannon of an arm. d smith the receiver is really good. carolina has been scoring points. so the redskins have a little challenge this week. >> now it's time for our redskins pre game pick. we'll start with offense. >> d'angelo williams, we talked about smith, cam newton, they have a tight end. some guys redskins fans may win. hands down carolina. >> all right. smith agrees. surprise, surprise. what about the defense? >> thomas davis is out for the season. they have charles johnson going against locklear but the redskins have a better chance. >> all right. going with redskins too. on that one last poaching. >> shanahan has won two super bowls. hands down. >> and for our final game

predictions, i'm being the optimist. i want the redskins to come back and john beck being a real game. i'm going carolina 7-10. who do you think is going to win? >> this is the first one i've been torn on this year but i think with beck with the offensive line issues, carolina is at home, panthers 23-20. some come sunday evening, we'll see which, if any of us, are right. that will do it for this
