culpeper and 54 here in d.c. we're going into the 60s. 60ish up in hagueerstown. 64 leesburg and 65 easton. monika samtani, 6:00 a.m., how are the roads looking? >> es i hate so say they're looking great because i feel like i'm tempting something but they look great. if you're planning to head around town, i'm happy to say that all you have is that volume. we can deal with that as long as there are no major incidents to report. you see all that yellow on 270 and orange. so that means it's slowing down basically out of frederick. all of you trying to get through clarksburg before the pace improves. beyond that you'll be okay. let's show what you it looks like once you're on the beltway at river road. you've got traffic moving well all the way the american legion bridge and into tysons corner. back over to the maps this time out west. no problems 066. it's just -- on 66. it's just the long slow lineup. if you're planning to head to the roosevelt bridge, lanes are open into downtown.

i'll be back with more traffic at 6:11. back to you. at 6:00 a.m. we start with some good news this morning. the two hikers from virginia who went missing in montana have been found alive and well. >> this is exactly what we want to be reporting. neal peckens of herndon and jason hiser of richmond were found late yesterday afternoon alive. kristin fisher joins us live from the tellite center with more on their rescue. good morning, kristin. >> reporter: good morning. what a relief. you know, these two men had been missing in the back country of glacier national park for four days. and anybody who has been hiking knows that so much can go wrong when you're out in the back country. hypothermia, grizzly bears, getting lost. we still don't know exactly what happened to these to men but that really doesn't matter for this family because all they care about is that their loved ones are coming home safe and sound. now, i want to show you a picture. here we go. this is a picture of one of the men, jason hiser from richmond right after he was rescued around 4:30 yesterday

afternoon. this image was posted on a facebook page dedicated to finding him. you can see he looks great. big smile, no injuries. here's a shot of him with his friend and hiking part near neal peckens from herndon. that's neal on the left. jason on the right. the two mehad met at the virginia-maryland regional college of veterinary medicine. over the years they've taken several hiking trips together. so these guys were relatively experienced hikers but they were reported missing on friday when they failed to catch their flight home. and here they are with their rescue teams that spent days looking for them. about 50 people searched for them in terrible weather, high winds, limited visibility. nearly two feet of snow on the trails. here's glacier national park spokeswoman. >> it's high fives and goose bumps down the arms. it's just -- it's so wonderful to know they're fine and doing well. >> reporter: the big question this morning is still what happened? did they get lost? how and where were they found?

so far the national park service has not released that information but again doesn't matter much to family and friends. all they care about is that their loved ones have been found and are no longer missing, especially since jason's wife is eight months pregnant. can you imagine what a scare this has been for her. jessica, andrea? >> can't even imagine, chris continue. kristin fisher live in the satellite center with really fantastic news. later today, the woman at the heart of the debate over same-sex marriage on gallaudet's campus plans to speak out. angela mccomes skill was placed on leave after -- mccaskill was placed on leave after signing a petition to get the question on the ballot. she felt it was an issue that should be decided by the democratic process. secretary of state hillary clinton takes full responsibility for any security lapses that contributed to the death of ambassador to libya christopher stevens and three

other americans. they were killed last month during an attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi. republicans on capitol hill have been criticizing the white house for its handling of the security at the consulate. secretary clinton addressed the criticism saying the president and vice president are not involved in those security decisions. tonight president obama and mitt romney square off for the second of three debates. romney's performance in the first debate helped him surge in the polls. this time president obama is promising a more spirited role. round two of the debates is a town hall format. it will take place at hofstra university. students are excited about the chance to get to ask the president and the republican nominee some questions. mitt romney won the coin toss so he's going to get the first question of the night. andrea? >> jessica, the swing states continue to be the focus of both candidates. the latest "u.s.a.

today" gallop poll of swing states shows governor romney has a slight lead over president obama among all likely voters. among registered voters in swing states, the president still has the edge. and when it comes to likely women voters, president obama has a very slight lead but it's governor romney the lead whether it comes to likely male voters. the margin of error is plus or minus 4% so this is still a statistical tie. as we've been saying, there is a lot at stake with this second debate. joining me this morning all the way from iowa is political columnist kathy from the des moines register, our gannett- owned sister paper. the format as we said, ceapt, is a town hall de-- kathy, is a town hall debate with the voters. we're having some mike problems. howard is going to help us out. thank you very much. howard. it's town hall format so we have the voters asking some questions but it's really only 11 people who are going to get

to ask questions. usually the voters have totally different issues on their mind than what the media and political analysts have. so does this debate favor one candidate over the other? >> it makes it a little harder to predict. one thing about this town hall format is that i think it's going to make it a little more challenging for barack obama to come back and be more aggressive than he was in the first debate. he was criticized for being too passive, didn't go after mitt romney enough. in the town hall format, that can be tough because you have actual voters who are asking those questions. if you brush aside the question and go after your opponent, you might be seen as disrespecting this person who asked the question. so i think it's going to be kind of a tightrope for barack obama in particular to be a lot more aggressive. >> you talked in the column about he cannot be a cold fish showing up a second time. how much did that first debate really hurt the president?

>> we see the numbers closing together. ohio changed almost overnight getting better for governor romney. >> well, i do think it got better for governor romney. there was a definite -- people were just pretty much unanimous that the president lost this debate. and so if it had been more of a draw, i think it wouldn't have had a big effect. in iowa barack obama was holding on to a very slim lead of four percentage points, a big battleground state. the candidates are there all the time. but most candidates -- but most had already made up their mind. early voting is going on. you need to have decided voters at this point. what this did was throw a big pail of cold water on democrats. it made it harder for them to generate the enthusiasm, to get friends, neighbors, everybody on your social need came list to get out and vote.

>> any down side for governor romney in the town hall format or keeping the momentum going? >> you know, one of the challenges for governor romney is to show that he can emphasize with voters, that he cares about people like me from the voters' perspective. in iowa he didn't do well in our poll when it comes to caring about people like me. he needs to show empathy with the voters. the town hall format allows him the opportunity to do that. we know president obama is good at that. he may not have to work very hard to show romney up at being warm and empathetic to voters. >> we do have to go but second chances, the second presidential debate, is it possible to do a doover? you have seen that in the past where a candidate fared worst in the beginning and came back? >> oh, yeah. i think that a lot of times sitting presidents don't do that well in the first debate. they don't spend as much time in preparation. they maybe think well, i know the issues. i don't have to practice as

much. that lack of preparation clearly hurt president obama and a lot of it was performance stuff that's easy to fix. i do expect he will give a much better showing tonight. >> we'll be watching. thank you very much for coming in from des moines and talking with us. again 9news now is teaming up with our other sister paper "u.s.a. today" for tonight's debate beginning at 9:00 p.m. "u.s.a. today" reporters will be live blogging about what the candidates say. and you can see that live via our website wusa9.com. make sure your television is tuned to channel 9 to watch the debate. also starting at 9:00. and log on to wusa9.com to take part in the conversation online. then anita and derek will be back for 11:00 as they fact check what the candidates say with the "u.s.a. today" fact checking team and we will of course have more analysis tomorrow morning on 9news now. right now we'll be back with more weather and traffic after this.

welcome back. your weather first. it's cool out there. we've got some 40s out there. a little brisk. it's going to be a sunny day. 53 by 9:00. noon 60. be back in just a few minutes with the seven-day. here's monika right now with timesaver traffic. thank you so much. if you're planning to head on the northbound side of i-95, we're just getting word of an accident at the prince william parkway along the left side of

the road. northbound 95 is going to slow down in that area. then beyond that here, it still looks good as you head through woodbridge. i'll be back with more coming up in a few minutes. it's 6:13. i am watching your money. looking to make some extra cash during the holidays? this could be the ticket. several big companies are hiring. am disonl.com says it's -- amazon.com says it's hiring 50,000 work e. they expect thousands it hires to actually stay on full-time. full-time workers will get stock grants and benefits. the company says its full-time employees make 30% more than traditional retail employees. macy's if it is meantime is planning -- in the meantime is planning to hire 80,000 seasonal workers. wal-mart will add 50,000 new jobs for the holidays and to us are us are hiring 45,000 seasonal workers this year. the nation's third largest cell phone company is about to make a major move. that could improve service for subscribers. sprint nextel has agreed to a

$20.1 billion deal with japan's soft bank. the company will gift sprint an immediate infusion of cash and that will help it continue to modernize its network, improve 3g coverage and fund the rollout of 4g service. all of that could be a significant benefit to sprint subscribers. and good news for some amazon and apple customers. you could soon get your money back for inflated e-book prices. these refunds are part of a september settlement with three major book publishers. the lawsuit claims those companies colluded with apple to race the price of downloadable books. apple is appealing the lawsuit so it isn't part of the settlement for now e-book retailers are trying to figure out who should get the refunds. eligible customers were e- mailed and they could be getting 32 cents per $1.32 per book. i know somebody who got one of these e-mails. >> i got the e-mail the other day and i was thinking wow, what am i going to do that. it goes into my amazon account. the next time i buy a book, 32

to $1.32 off. >> it doesn't sound like a lot of money. >> but when you add up the amount of books you bought in the time frame, it could be a nice little-- >> sometimes the refunds are 5 cents on the dollar so this is actually quite significant. >> it wasn't something i was counting on. >> found money. we have a good day today weather wise. sunshine. it's going to be on the cool side but we had heavy rain in spots. that's long gone. starting out the day with a look at the bus stop forecast. i think you need a jacket this morning. been on the weather terrace this morning and certainly it is a little brink out there. temperatures in some spots down in the mid-40s. the warm spot by the bay 55. most of us are really closer to that 50-degree mark. sunrise 7:19. setting just after 6:30. we're going to see sunshine today and 60 degrees by lunch time. highs will make it into the mid- 60s. 64 by 4:00 with an 8:00 reading back down to 58 degrees. we don't have this much color yet on the tidal basin.

it's coming. north and west of town seeing some really nice color. if you have a great shot, e- mail it to me and i'll share it with anybody on air. gaithersburg 46 right now. they're getting on the chilly side with centreville at 47. off to the south fort belvoir calm winds, 46. that's certainly one of our cooler locations with bowie at 48. 52 over at andrews. college park this morning 48 degrees. outside on our michael & son weather camera, we still have an hour plus to go till sunrise. not even seeing the light on the horizon yet with temperatures of 54. reporting a few clouds at reagan national. checking outside here in northwest, we're clear. winds northwest at 10 with the humidity at 64%. so we've seen some drier air move in. some cooler air -- it's really cooled down in chicago and detroit in the lower 40s. one thing you're not seeing, you're not seeing a big cold outbreak. all the cold is being bottled up thanks to the jet stream moving west to east across the

country keeping the storms well to the north of us. they'll continue to ride basically due east. for us a couple of shower chances by the time we get into thursday and friday but the weekend should look pretty good. today 66. dan we'll be in the 40s in town with upper 30s in the coldest spots with light winds. nice tomorrow, about 70 with a mix of sun and clouds. for thursday shower could be here before the day is over, especially out west. 72 degrees. friday also a shower threat about 70. then the weekend, you've got plans, going to hit one of the walks, i'll be downtown with kristen berset at the breast cancer walk. monika, jess and andrea at the diabetes walk. the terps game, 64. got the als walk on sunday. then monday 75. so pretty nice seven-day. it's 6:17. here comes monika with timesaver traffic. not so nice traffic wise unfortunately. we've got quite a few incidents to tell you about. >> you jinxed it. >> i think i jirntioned it according to -- jinxed it according to howard.

there's an accident at the prince william parkway. it's in the left lane. i'll show what you it looks like from our sky 9. here's the activity right here at the prince william parkway. the left lane is blocked and police equipment as well on the right shoulder. of course that's going to slow you down right through woodbridge early this morning on the northbound side of i-95. then beyond that after lorton, there is some accident activity as well on the shoulder. so a couple of incidents here on 95. we'll take a look live a little further north at the 14th street bridge where it's just bunching up across the bridge span. 595 so far -- 395 so far is incident free. this time all the way to 95 coming in from baltimore no problems laurel, bw parkway, columbia, route 32 and 29 both of those are good heading southbound toward the beltway. we'll take a live look at 270 where there had been a dear struck on the northbound side of 270 near route 109. watch out for that activity southbound side slows down as well. i'll be back with more traffic

at 6:25. you're watching 9news now. stay with us.

welcome back. 6:22. your weather first. we've dried out a lot from yesterday afternoon when we had heavy showers around. then we've cooled down. we've got some 40s out there. you may need a jacket if you wait for the bus a while. quite a bit of sunshine with temperatures warming slowly into the upper 50s by 11:00. perhaps the low 60s by 1:00 p.m. with a high in mid-60s and drive home temperature of 64 degrees. good morning, everybody. the argument is still ongoing. should rg3 have played sunday against the vikings one week after suffering a concussion? former running back tiki barber id in his "u.s.a.

today" column that rg3 set a bad example by playing. whether yoagree with that or not, there no question his performance sunday was electrifying. president obama even commented on how remarkable he was and that he helped boost the city's spirits after that nats loss on friday. rg3 hasn't thrown too many touchdowns this season, just five in six weeks or in six games, but what he can do with his legs just adds to his versatility making it hard for opponents to game plan. >> any time you have a quarterback that has a threat of making a play with his legs, a lot of time you'll have defenses spying the quarterback. you know, they want to play man coverage but they don't want to rush everybody because they've got to count for the quarterback just like we saw yesterday. >> up 95 in charm city, to major injuries leaves the big boys in an already struggling baltimore ravens defense. cornerback ladarius webb,

arguably baltimore's most valuable defender out but the biggest loss is ray lewis with a torn try sep. although -- triaccept. -- tricep. although not as good as he once was, he's valuable. >> i could see it when i walked on the field on his face, you know, he kind of knew because he's been through it before. ray in the locker room afterwards, you know, we didn't know but he was worried about it. your heart goes out to those guys. >> that's a quick look at your sports this morning. i'm kristen berset. have a great tuesday. thank so you much. here's a live look on the northbound side of i-95 from our sky 9. an accident right at the prince william parkway. you can see the activity in the left lane and on the right shoulder. delays as you head up to this point building quickly. i'll have more details on this and an accident in arlington on lee highway at north harrison street. we'll be back with more news,

weather and traffic. stay with us. you're watching 9news now.

we're back at 6:29. this is always the place to get your weather first. >> leer is a live look at the -- here is a live look at the jefferson memorial. it's beautiful outside. 54 degrees. still dark but not for long. thank you for starting your day with us.

i'm andrea roane. i'm jessica doyle in for mike hydeck. meteorologist howard bernstein is live on the weather terrace with our forecast. he does have the jacket on. >> a definite chill out here this morning. we're barely in the low 50s here in northwest. it's 54 national. some mid-40s in some of the suburbs. consider that when you get ready to step out this morning. the day planner, we're looking to the east on our weather camera in tysons corner. just starting to see a little glow in the eastern sky. sunrise not till 7:19. so 50 minutes until that happens. going to be a nice sunny start with 60 by noon. 64 at 5:00. i think we'll manage to get up to 66 for that high today in between hours. but with the northwest wind at 10, you probably will need a light jacket or sweat shirt if you're going to be out. as far as yesterday, we had a cold front which went through helping to kick off the showers we had. the heavy weather stayed well south and east. behind the front the drier, cooler hair has moved in making for a nice morning here with a few clouds in the mountains.

garrett county, oakland down to 39. by the way skiers, some of the spots like arapahoe basin are opening today out in colorado. so they're getting ready for the -- to start their ski season. we're 54 with gaithersburg 49 and the same in la plata. i'll be back in a few minutes talking about the rest of the week into the weekend. medical emergency on the northbound side of the fairfax county parkway between popes head road. watch out for that activity. the beltway is doing fine. northbound 95 not so good. there's an accident at the prince william parkway. there's only one vehicle involved as far as they can see but take a look at the activity live from sky 9 right side of the road and left side of the road there affected and thre le solid backup right now as you head northbound on 95. you can see the authorities trying to move around at the incident scene as well. so a tough situation here. right now all traffic is stopped as you can see as the accident vehicles are moved

from the roadway. so again watch out for that. it looks like traffic is now being set free but again 3 to four-mile, damage is done, northbound 95. we'll go further north on our vdot camera and show you what it looks like if you're planning to head across the 14th street bridge. no problems here but if you're  planning to head across the bridge span, it's just going to be heavy across the potomac river. i'll be back with more information on that accident coming up in my next report at 6:43. back to you. >> thank you, monika. cbs this morning is 30 minutes away. we can guess what they're talking about this morning. >> norah o'donnell joins us from new york with a preview. good morning, norah. >> good morning. we're looking at what it will take to win tonight's town hall debate. plus, why are both sides concerned about the format and the moderator. also secretary of state hillary clinton is now accepting blame for security lapses at the u.s. consulate that was attacked in libya. margaret brennan asks her to explain the different stories coming from the obama administration.

we've got lots of news this morning when we see you right at 7:00. >> we'll be interested in seeing that interview as well. thank you, norah. those two hikers from virginia who went missing this montana have been found alive and they're heading home this morning. >> neal peckens of herndon and jason hiser of richmond were found late yesterday. kristin fisher joins us live from the satellite center with more on their rescue. good morning, kristin. >> reporter: good morning. we still don't know exactly what happened to these two men that had been missing since friday, but, you know, that information is expected to come out a little bit later this morning from the national park service. but the good news here, whatever happened all that friends and family really care about is that they will be coming home safe and sound most likely just a little bit later today. these two men were reported missing on friday by their family when they failed to take -- when they failed to board their flight home on friday. and that sent off a several day

long search. about 50 people spent three days searching for these men in just terrible weather. there was intense winds, lots of snow, about 18 inches of snow on the ground. here is glacier national park spokeswoman denise. >> it's a great feeling to know they're out of the back country, they're safe and with their families. >> reporter: check out this picture. it is a picture of -- well, not that picture. let's jump one picture forward. do we have it? no. that's not it either. there it is. these are the two missing men right here on the left is the hiker that was missing -- this is -- excuse me. he's from herndon on the right. jason hiser from richmond. they met at the regional college of veterinary medicine. over the years they've taken several hiking trims together. these guys were relatively experienced hikers but again something, we don't know what

yet, something went wrong. here they are with the rescue team that spent days looking for them. about 50 people in total. again we still don't know exactly where they were found, how they were found, were they missing. we just don't know but the national park service on their website says they will be releasing some of that information a little bit later today. i tell you what. if you are the wives of these two men because they're both married, 32 years old, if you're the wives of these two men, i don't know, are you going to let them go hiking again and if you do, i bet they'll be strapping gps devices on their body or in their backpacks. andrea, jessica, perfect christmas present for these two men. >> exactly. starting with thanksgiving giving thanks for their safe return. unbelievable. >> i'm a little too co- dependent to let them go for that long. >> i'm figuring the wives are probably into hiking as well so that's probably why they're still together. we have a developing story we want to bring you now. a rape suspect is in custody in

frederick of police say he was beaten by the victim's friends. police say upon trel -- montrel lieu we raped a whip sunday. he grabbed the woman as she was getting out of her car, raped her and forced her back into her car and drove to another part of town. the victim was able to jump out of the moving car and she ran for help. friends of the woman found out what happened. not only did they help police develop a profile of the suspect. they found him and they chased him down. the suspect was stabbed, beaten and held until police arrived. bowie is facing a list of charges including rape, carjacking, and kidnapping. the pakistani girl who captured the spirit of women around the world is now in a british hospital. malala yousafzai was shot in the head by the taliban because she encouraged girls to get an education. a crew wheeled the 14-year-old into britain's queen elizabeth hospital a week after she was

attacked. the pakistani teen will be seeing the same doctors who treat british soldiers injured fighting the taliban. >> we are receiving all the british battle casualties. we have unfortunately extensive experience dealing with this injury. >> malala became a local celebrity in pakistan for standing up for girl's education. she was on a school bus last week when a taliban gunman shot her at point blank range in the head. the taliban has vowed to target her again if she recovers because she promotes, quote, western thinking. the time right now is 6:36. in this your money report, a tribute to the person who signs your paychecks. in case you didn't realize, today is national bosses day. this is a day that was started as a pseudo holiday all the way back in 1958. some are calling it a hallmark holiday nowadays but nevertheless, we are marking the occasion with a -- some

insight into your boss. here's the scenario. you're walking down the hall. you see the boss and he or she smiles at you. is that a good thing? maybe. maybe not. a recent study says researchers from the university of california found people who feel powerful tend not to smile back at important people. instead they're saving their smiles for people lower down on the pecking order and their smiles were bigger. one researcher said smiles can be akin to throwing a bone to a low status person. the researchers believe the people who feel powerful trial to exert their dominance by not appearing friendly to those who might be perceived as a threat. people who feel like they have no power at all smiled at everybody. but we can't help but smiling at our own bosses, can we? >> we're very grateful for our bosses. >> they're wonderful. >> we're not smiling. thank you mark. thank you, fred. >> you're both intelligent and handsome men.

>> don't smile. >> we'll smile. our time right now is coming up on 6:38 when the news continues. just about every woman loves to shop. next, find out how a weekend of shopping at one major department store could be the key to curing breast cancer. >> and if you're in the market for a watch, looking to inflate your -- insulate your home or dire need of a night out on the town, you'll want to stick around for my daily deals when we come back.

it is 6:42. 54 degrees. women come back. monika -- welcome back. monika here with timesaver traffic. lots of information, emily for you virginia drivers. first of all, there had been a problem with a motorcycle accident on lee highway at north harrison street in arlington, but most importantly, an accident on the northbound side of i-95 at the prince william parkway. although it was moved out of the road, there's about a five- mile backup on the northbound side of i-95. then another one. let's take a live look from our sky 9. it's in lorton in the hov lanes blocking the left lane. this was a motorcycle and

passenger vehicle. the motorcyclist is complaining of some wrist pain so therefore emergency medical emergency equipment has arrived on the scene. you can see the right lane squeezing by in the hov lanes so that's going to slow down as well. so now you've got two separate very long backups as you can see on the northbound side of i- 95. over to the northbound side of 395 on our vdot camera, here's what it looks like across the 14th street bridge. this is incident free but slow traffic here and we'll take a look at our maps again, this time all the way on to 270. look at all the red. it's normal. there's nothing stopped in the road except for the car in front of you. air going to go about 16 miles an hour on the southbound side leaving frederick most of the way toward 109 and 121 before the pace picks up. one more last live look outside if you're planning to head here. this is what it looks like at route 109. as i said slow and heavy but the lanes are open. i'll be back with a look at the big picture at 6:58. >> thank you, monika. it is coming up on 6:44.

howard is here with the forecast. a big improvement over yesterday. >> yes. drier air has moved in. cooler, drier air has moved in. i think my mike slipped down somewhere. i'm so sorry. you awake now? did that noise wake you up? it woke everybody else. we're g. let's get moving to the bus stop forecast now that everything is in order and where it should be with temperatures this morning which certainly have cooled off. we're down in the 40s and 50s so definitely a brisk, chilly start to the morning. sunrise not until 7:19. we have a great shot coming out of the traffic cameras or the michael & son camera right now. this is the capitol dome. a little bit of the glow in the sky here. about a half-hour before the sunrise. temperatures today will be around 60 by noon. 5:00 64. we'll probably get to about 66 or so for the high. but with a little bit of a breeze northwest at 10, you'll need the light jacket, sweat shirt if you're going to be outside. this morning we're down to 47 in baltimore.

it's 45 culpeper, luray is 46. winchester at 50. the warm spot right here in town still holding on to 54 degrees. our michael & son weather camera one more time. beautiful looking morning out there, 54. reagan national reporting partly cloudy skies that you can see on our camera. we've got clear skies here. north and west of town a few clouds are mixing in. northwest winds at 10 and humidity 64%. we've got cooler air behind the front. the front went through yesterday afternoon with the showers that we had coming to an end but kentucky, lexington 38. it's 42 indianapolis. center and western ohio into the 30s this morning. so that cooler, drier air continues to move our way. with high pressure building in, we should have some nice, quiet weather today and tomorrow. it's going to be late thursday that we'll have a chance for a shower. until now and then, generally clear, sunny skies today. clear to partly cloudy and chilly tonight with a high expected around 66. tonight upper 40s in d.c. but upper 30s in the cold spots. a nice day.

some clouds will mix in. we'll call it sun and clouds, high around 70. by thursday a late afternoon shower, especially west of town, 72. still a threat for a shower on friday, 70 but the weekend, i know a lot of things are going on this weekend, walks, the terps game. saturday 64. sunday looks good at 70. monday still looking nice at 75. andrea? >> all right, howard, thank you. an event to raise breast cancer awareness kicks off tonight. key to the cure is the shopping event at sks and chevy -- saks and chevy chase. the director with suburban hospital and carey of saks5th avenue is here. it's nationwide raising money for women's cancers. this is as important weekend for women and their health. >> we did. at saks 5th avenue we've been doing n. this is our tenth year

benefits suburban hospital. we are super excited that tomorrow night's kickoff event is completely sold out and we expect it will kick off a great shopping weekend to benefit sur about burr ban hospital. >> what's key is the women behind this not just saks but suburban and the co-chairs are here showing off and honoring your survivors. >> we choose survivors to honor. we have a beautiful photo of them all wearing our commemorative t-shirt. the proceeds of those t-shirts all go 100 percent to subburr ban. we encourage everyone to come out and wear the gorgeous t- shirt. >> who are our co-chairs? >> nina and marty who have done a fantastic job this year. we couldn't be more excited and we thank you them for all their hard work. >> this is a beautiful t-shirt. 100% goes to suburban. dr. alley, how important is an event like this to what you're

doing in the breast center? >> it's really key because there are a number of breast cancer fund-raisers that raise money for research. but this really raises money for the community. and it supports the patient navigator program which offers services to all women with cancer that are treated at suburban in terms of paying for chemotherapy, treatments that they can't afford them or helping them with transportation. what the patients start with is a book, a notebook that has information on the different programs, the telephone number for the patient navigator. it has a place for them to keep track of their appointments and really get information on things. this is one of the little parts of it. the real important part is that patients have a resource

because sometimes doctors don't seem to have time for patients and families take on a big load. so that's what the program is about. >> the event at chevy chase is sold out, but what's really important is that people shop this entire weekend. >> absolutely. we've got things going on the entire weekend from our vendor partners. we've got a jewelry designer coming in on friday. and again all of the shopping weekend, a percentage will go to suburban hospital. we encourage everyone to get out there, do their holiday shopping early. >> we do have to go but i just want to say that i'm going to try and be everywhere tonight. i'm going to stop by chevy chase as i've been sponsoring and supporting chevy chase for many, many weeks. monika and i will be at saks tysons corner and the proceeds from that benefit will benefit inova life with cancer center. so it's a wonderful excuse to go shopping, to do something in your life for the women you care about and yourself.
