each cup forms an almost unbreakable seal on doug's head and mask. once the sucker fastens on, it's almost impossible to pry off. my mask was coming off. my regulator was coming out and the fight was on. i'm at a great disadvantage when i'm under water, because this is the octopus' territory. that's where the octopus lives. i don't live there. the octopus doesn't need air to breathe. i do. the octopus has eight arms. i only have two. you're at the octopus' mercy. >> the regulator is slipping out of his mouth. time is up. it's do or die. >> i'm trying with one hand to put my regulator back on my mouth and trying with one hand to put my mask back on and with anything that's remaining i'm trying to peel the arms of the octopus off my mask. >> one by one, he peels off every vacuum-like sucker and each overpowering tentacle. >> it was all of doug's strength just to get one arm off, and he had three or four of them all over his head. >> i'd peel one arm off and two more arms would stick to me. i'd peel those off and two more would stick over on this side.

but for doug click, the story doesn't end there. his bravery and quick action captures the media's attention. >> doug click, good morning. >> good morning. >> man, what a morning you had. >> it's been a heck of a 24 hours. >> but for the son of a police chief and brother of four police officers, doug's response, he says, was nothing more than being brought up with that old-fashioned sense of responsibility. >> i remember back when i was a kid, you know, if anybody had done anything like that, the dads would have definitely stood up and stopped the guy. he wouldn't have gotten anywhere. the police are the cleanup crew. they're not there when the crimes are going on. if you can stop the people from doing crimes, you try to stop them as best you can. >>> another terrifying crime on the road. this one on a public bus. a man boards a bus in broad daylight and immediately begins pummeling the driver, taking him and the passengers on a wild ride to remember. may 2008, in milwaukee, wisconsin. and a masked man reportedly asks, do you rememb

doug is standing by. you going to get to go inside and watch some baseball tonight, doug? >> reporter: what we're going to do, each time you come live to me, i'm going to be about 50 feet closer to the stadium. so i'm hoping by the time we get to about 6:00, 6:15, that will put me inside. i haven't done the math yet, but i'm hoping that's how it works. a lot of people already starting to get in there. the game starting at 7:05 this evening. temperatures really could not be any better. as a matter of fact, i want to show you a shot, a brand-new camera that we have here at nbc 4 from the gaylord national hotel. take a look at this shot. this is just a gorgeous shot. first off, you just saw the stadium. but now take a look at that shot, down there towards national harbor. a beautiful afternoon. a few clouds out there. you can see the boats in the foreground as a result of the beautiful potomac river, too. this is going to be a shot we use a lot across the area. let's look at the temperatures out there. temperatures right now sitting at 74 degrees. winds out of the south at 7

doug is in storm cent er 4 with what the weather is going to do for us, hey, doug? >> can you hear me now? here we go, okay. it's amazing what you do when you have a microphone. 80 degrees the current temperature out there right now. that was the temperature earlier this afternoon. temperatures now? not nearly as cool. take a look at these numbers, right now, sitting at 69 degrees where last night we were well into the slower 60s out there. tonight, as i mentioned, a little bit warmer. here's the current temperatures right now over in towards winchester. 70 degrees in leesburg. over towar towards easton. we're not going to see any rain tonight or during the early part of tomorrow. look out tthe west. here's where the showers and the thunderstorms are in through ohio, illinois and indiana. some strong storms here, but not a severe outbreak. and i don't expect that here around our area. i do expect a few storms notice where it is and where it isn't. it is not in virginia. it is not in west virginia. it is only in the eastern portions of maryland including the southern

daniel ford and doug williams. one of the things we're talking about avoiding sequestration and about getting funding for n.i.h. in general is getting some kind of accountability, some measures that congress and the public can know that if you put 10% more in, you're going to get x or you put 20% more in, you're going to get x? any comments on that, doug? >> it's a complex program. publicly funded science is so broad. there are metrics that we typically use in a corporate environment, a number of patents that are filed, technology licenses that are executed. those are really the commercialization faitz of the signs that's -- phase of the science that's been done. you can do some look-back and look at the public funded scientific initiatives done over the years. what was done for h.i.v. about $10 billion spent in the overall scheme of really turning that into a chronic disease now. avoiding about a trillion dollars worth of costs. so there's definitely a return on investment. there's a variety of different ways of c

charles: for someone like doug to come in and talk about it is important. polls seem to be the number one issue and are swaying the election. stuart: what we should do, you can't ban polls as unconstitutional. you can't do that, understood. we should ignore them, what we're saying. >> we should focus on the ideas and issues that are important in an election, not who is ahead and who is behind. >> your position, you agree with it. the story i'm told gripped the rest of the world all week, the nfl referees, their strike, they'll return to the field tonight ravens against baltimore. and refs make 205,000 a year by 2019. remind you for a half year's work, along with a pay raise, the refs also get guaranteed pension benefits. hall of fame quarterback fran tarkenton joins us now from atlanta. fran, question number one, is looks to me like the refs won hands down. do you agree? >> no question about it. as that play at midnight monday night that went seattle's way, it was no controversy if they stole a victory away from the packers and after that, the referees won.

doug, good to talk to you as always. karen, i'm wondering if you would be on that trade as well. >> i don't own avon. i think cody's gone. >> oh, so it's gone. >> if goes up, it's based on its own fundamentals. >> i think so. >> and there's a lot of folks that have just been losing their shirts being short not just the market but if you're betting on, for instance, vicks going up because obviously if the market melts down, you'd expect the vxk to go to the upside. people have been slaughtered being along the vix. it was down, what, 12% today. breaking down to 1550 or so. >> all right. we've been tracking gold as well. breaking above the $1700 level today. should you buy the gold run? we will trade it right after this. we're sitting on a bunch of shale gas. there's natural gas under my town. it's a game changer. ♪ it means cleaner, cheaper american-made energy. but we've got to be careful how we get it. design the wells to be safe. thousands of jobs. use the most advanced technology to protect our water. billions in the

get out and enjoy the night. >> thanks, doug. northern virginia drivers are weighing in on a plan to raise rates on the dulles toll road. the additional money would help pay for the silver like project. julie caries is live where the public hearing is under way. >> as you can see with all the maps and charts, it's more of an open hours and public hearing. the testimony coming in from commuters is already pretty predictable. the proposed fee hikes are simply too much to ask. >> it's a price tag that's scheduled to double by 2015. the skyrocketing costs already have residents who live along the corridor looking for alternatives. >> i tried personally to cut down on the amount i use the toll road, but at the same time in the morning there's no real option to get to work on time. >> am-wa is having a series of hearings. by 2015, the current way doubles to already 4.50 one way or $9 for round trip. this member of the reston citizens board says the current plan puts an unfair burden on toll road commuters. they'll urge more pressure on

chief meteorologist doug kammerer is tracking the radar. doug, what's going on? >> we're watching the severe storms just off to the west now, entering portions of fauquier county and close to loudoun county. one down to shenandoah county, frederick county, virginia, very close to the winchester area, and this storm coming through front royal right now, a lot of lightning, and one more storm up here just to the north. this storm we're going to watch very closely. northern fauquier county right now. it's about to enter loudoun county. i wouldn't be surprised if there's a severe thunderstorm warning put in with that county, too. it goes until 6:30 this evening. we continue to watch for these storms. more showers and a few thunderstorms up into portions of the panhandle of west virginia and also through frederick county, maryland. watch what happens when we widen out. this is part of a bigger storm system that is spinning here and will continue to spin through the region. so i think just about everybody is going to see a pretty good chance for some strong to potentia

we've got to turn that off, doug. >> turn it off? tomorrow a little humid, saturday a little humid, then you know what? it is off for a while. not only off, we were talking about some fall-like temperatures trying to move in. people will be able to open their windows, maybe turn off the ac for a little bit. let's not go crazy. it's not going to be that cool, but it will be nice out there. >> a very nice afternoon, very nice evening, but definitely on the humid side. you can see a lot of clouds, low-level clouds marking the moisture that's in the atmosphere. currently 82 degrees, but with the dew point at 70, yes time you get over 70, you know you're talking about humidity. here's the temperatures around the region -- now, not a lot going on anymore. we saw most of the rain exit the area. there are still a few storms to the north right not north of rockville, came through lleytonsville arier, but started to die out. maybe rockville pike. this is right over portion of the mountains, and right over -- if you're driving up 13, you may ru

my name is doug johnson. i'm a senior planner at the metropolitan transportation commission overseeing our programs in land use and social equity. i'm also very fortunate to be a member of the transatlantic cities network, which is a project of the german marshall fund you'll be hearing from ellen. it is a network of 25 cities, 12 in the u.s., 13 in europe, and oakland is one of those cities, but i, of course, wearing my regional hat, have looked to expand what i have been learning through the network and the opportunities that present themselves to the network and to expand that. and where better to bring a cycling delegation than to the city of san francisco, a city very much on the verge of, i think, turning the tide in favor of cycling where there are 40-some-odd, 43-plus projects waiting in the wings for the environmental lawsuits to come to a close. so it is very exciting to have the opportunity for the delegation to come here, and i think the timely honkly, could not be -- honestly, could not be better

america's election headquarters is next with doug mcelway. it starts now. >> do we want the craitdz-to-grave life of julia obamacare, we'll take care of you from preschool to death america? or do we want a return to... you know, opportunity, liberty, freedom. >> middle class families as a result of the promises that mitt romney has made, will have their dax taxes go up and taxes will go down for people like him. >> massachusetts governor mitt romney will hit the first of several battleground states today, starting in colorado tonight, ramping up the emphasis on the swing states and the all-important dedate baits, the first of which is 10 day, way. we begin america's news headquarters with campaign carl cameron. last week has been described, according to the mainstream narrative, as mitt romney's roughest week of the entire campaign. what is he going to do to fix that, if anything? >> well, push through. one of the things that the romney campaign has been criticized and praised for is its discipline in adversity. have you to face tough times a

[laughter] >> doug? >> stuart, this may be medically necessary, but it's a completely absurd and ridiculous result, that i hope is never replicated. stuart: but it is according to the law. the law says you need it you get it. you're federal prisoner, you need it, you get it. >> called gender-- >> it's absurd. >> yes. stuart: i think we're agreed at this. new at ten, stunning new messages out of the democratic national convention, first, a video played in the convention hall that says we all belong to government. we'll show it to you and here is the other stunner, the democrats removed several key pro israel lines from the party platform, why that? lots of talk, democrat supporters are trying to get to the bottom of this. will this cost the obama campaign politically and financially? we'll have some answers for you in a moment. >> announcer: meet tom, a proud dad whose online friends all "like" the photos he's posting. oscar likes tom's photos, but he loves the access to tom's personal information. oscar'

talk about what you're going to do and doug, he should not blame president bush. he has to take responsibility and that's what-- that's what presents true leadership. when you take responsibility for what you've done, you can only blame the former administration so much and the bottom line is this: nan nancy pelosi passed all of obama's policies, and she was the best speaker for the policies and doug, we're in a worse place than we were back then when we passed both pieces of legislation. the bottom line, obama needs to talk about solutions, stop with the race baiting, stop with the division, stop with the class war fathre, people are sick and tired of that. >> and what's more persuasive that your policies and records have not worked or promises from the president that things will change? >> i mean, honestly, people want a definitive plan and they want action. >> well, jammy, i agree with you, they want plans and they want action, but a lot of cynicism as angela told us about president obama and his record and we certainly heard that from president obama and paul

they're like, dad, stop. >> thanks, david. >>> doug, how about our weekend weather? so much going on this weekend. >> there are a ton of events this weekend. obviously for the sporting enthusiasts, nats in the play-off hunt now. talking about today's game, tomorrow's game, sunday's game and the redskins playing on sunday, too. out there right now, plenty of sunshine. that's what we'll continue to see across our area throughout the next 40 minutes before the sun goes down. i want to show you a great shot down there from national harbor. over towards the potomac in the woodrow wilson bridge. got up to 80 degrees today. 78 the average high. fall officially begins tomorrow at 10:49. and tomorrow's going to feel more like summer. but fall's coming quick. 77 as far as the temperature is right now. winds out of the south about 12 miles per hour. temperatures around the region. 73 in winchester. 76 in martinsburg. 74 down towards the pax river. no matter what you have planned tonight, don't worry about any chances for rain. don't even worry about the cool temperatures. it's

doug kammerer down at nationals park enjoying it all. doug? >> that's why they call them the boys of fall. out here right now, a beautiful, beautiful night for baseball. we're talking about temperatures in the low 70s. getting into the upper 60s, probably during the game tonight. it will be a little bit of a chill. once again, as it has been the last couple of days. as you look at temperatures, we're currently sitting at the 74-degree mark. that's where we're going to be for the next hour or so. temperatures slowly falling into the upper 60s. winds right now out of the southeast at about 9 miles an hour. the temperatures around the rest of the region, currently sitting in the 70s across much of the area. we're starting to see some areas get down into the upper 60s. temperatures 72 at gaithersburg. through the rest of tonight and early tomorrow, to southeast d.c., looking at temperatures falling down to about 65 at 11:00. temperatures tomorrow morning about 59 degrees. yes, the cool air is here. and so are we. we'll be here throughout the game.

storm team 4 meteorologist doug kammerer has more on what we can expect. hey, doug. >> hi, doreen. this evening you'll probably need a jacket as you step out, over the next couple of days, it may be the umbrellas you could be needing. 68 degrees right now, with winds out of the west at about 3 miles per hour. 64 in gaithersburg. 64 in winchester. still 70 in culpepper, the warm spot. temperatures today about as cool as they've been since late april. how about that. some very cool air. no rain out there right now. but that's going to be changing over the next couple of days. we're going to have a frontal boundary drape right across our region wednesday, thursday into friday, and i think we have a good chance of seeing rain just about all of the end of the week. this evening, thinking about heading out and about, maybe toward damascus into portions of montgomery county, looking very good for you folks. 63 degrees. sun going down just before 7:00. waking up to a very cool 42. get the jackets out and be ready. >>> coming up, a high school health scare. something a teacher brought to sc

i also think doug makes a very interesting point. we forget that president obama last october came before the congress with a jobs bill which the cbo said would have created somewhere between 1 million and 2 million new jobs, and that was a second stimulus, and it got turned down flat by the congress. the congress wouldn't even hear of it even though every component of that jobs bill had gotten republican votes separately in the past. so he did try for a second stimulus. he did care about the economy, and, look, there are individuals who are making less money than they made four years ago. there are individuals who were working four years ago, not employed now. but when you ask the question, are you better off, the key factor is what date are you talking about? are you better off now than the summer of '08? probably not if you have lost your job or if you're making less money. but are you better off than you were on january 20th of the new year 2009 when barack obama took office? of course you are. as you said, whether you're employe

doug, what do you make of this? do you think it will play a part, this birthism on the right that seems to have resonated with regular republicans? 35% believe he wasn't born in the country. >> well, chris, i grew up in ohio. i'm from perrysburg ohio, i went to ohio state university undergraduate and i just spent my summer up in putten bay and i have talked to a lot of people and i think obama is stronger than the polls or these sort of birther bits indicate. in a city like toledo, there would be no champion spark plug existing if general motors wasn't said. wherever the president goes along lake erie and cleveland and akron and these cities, that saving of the auto industry, what president would abandon one of our great cities like detroit. when you abandon detroit, you abandon cities like toledo and ohio. so i think the people of ohio are confused about obama. they don't really believe in the yes, we can. some of them are feeling that they're still struggling, but there's a general feeling that obama backed the au

i'm doug kammerer. it looks like at least one cloud that's now obscuring the city from the sun, but the sun will come out again over the next hour. so 86 degrees the kurpt temperature. dew point at 70, so our heat index still at 91. a very warm and humid atmosphere. mostly clear around our area, a few storms back to the west. that's where they will stay, but look what happens tomorrow. here's the frontal boundary. numerous thunderstorms back here. i do think we'll see a good chance of severe weather tomorrow. let's break it down for you, and taye you through tomorrow morning. no rain across or area, during the afternoon, around noon, storms will be to the west. it will be around 4:00, between 4:00 and 6:00, some of those storms will be strong. we'll continue to keep you updated. >>> dan, we're nearing the end. if you have tickets, you timed it. >> you've got to hurry. see theman while you can. he has 15 wins, trying for 16 tonight. just two more starts for strasburg this year. the final start in about 1

and dan bongino said it's up to sobhani to debate it. >>> doug? >> showers and thunderstorm activity out there just down to the south. you see most of it from washington down to the south. again, if you live south of 66 in virginia, or south of 50 in maryland, you have the best chances of seeing some rain. even the d.c. metro area seeing some of that rain right now. take a look at the numbers here. temperatures to the south of the front, 75 in washington, 79 in rich mobbmond but 63 in pittsbu. a sign of things to come for the weekend. much cooler weather going back to fall. >> all righty. >>> a national manhunt is under way for a virginia man who is suspected of killing a new york school superintendent. the suspect, a former marine, a sniper, who lives in woodbridge. news4's jackie bensen has more on where the suspect could be hiding. >> reporter: even as funeral services were being held in rural new york state for victim keith reed, police in prince william county, virginia, continued to search for his suspected killer. investigators believe 42-y

>>> doug, what you up to? >> doreen, my mom did that for me as a kid, too. >> that is scary enough for me. >> that was the best stuff. yeah, for sure. if that didn't get your appetite going, how about this. a great event coming up tomorrow. the fall bazaar down at the st. peters and paul at the potomac. the weather looking pretty good for that. great early, but afternoon storms from 11:00 to 9:00. it's also there today and sunday. tomorrow the only chance for storms, tonight's great, sunday, great, tomorrow, high around 85 degrees. saints peter and paul on the river road. this is what they brought us. so, you know, if just in case, you know, you're hungry, i just got some stuff here for you. spinach pie, and falafel. you want to get out tomorrow. this is what you'll see early tomorrow when you see jim out hosting the event. 79 degrees the current temperature. a very nice evening. that's exactly what we're going to see throughout the rest of the evening. 77 in gaithersburg. 76 in reston. no rain on the radar no

doug what is the latest? >> it is muggy. tropical outside. it will be friday before we actually have a dry day. this is just north of washington. this is outside of frederick. clouds all day sunshine in between. this is across most of the viewing area. there will be a chance of showers tonight and especially tomorrow. 85 in rockville 84 in the district 83 degrees in arlington, and with the dew point temperature in the 70's, it is very muggy and that is our story. 76 the morning low 9 degrees above average. on the storm scan, we are looking at doppler radar out of the carolinas, showers and thunderstorms, everything moving from southwest to northeast so isolated showers now probably a better chance late tonight, and tomorrow, a cold front will be entering the picture possibly a better chance of showers and storms and that will lead into thursday. only an isolated storm, friday the only day this week without rain in the forecast. temperatures out west are hot in the plains. 103 degrees in oklahoma city. 97 in omaha. even 90 in minneapolis. 90-d

>>doug: good morning. you can say this: there are probably some relieved people in the obama campaign this morning who did not know quite what to expect when president clinton took the stage last night. in the end, he offered the campaign exactly what they wanted. president obama even came out on stage at the very end to thank president clinton. through the speech, president clinton tried to answer a question that tripped up democrats. are you better off than you were four years ago? >> are we where we want to be today? no. is the president satisfied? of course not. but are you better off than you were four years ago? when president obama took office, the economy was in free fall, shrinking by 750,000 jobs a month. are we doing better than that today? the answer is, yes. >>doug: his approval rating according to a fox poll is about 65 percent, much higher than rebound who no doubt hopes that some of that clinton magic rubs off. >> we think the country works better with a strong middle class with real opport

doug? >> the areas up to the north and east, philadelphia, down to the to the south, as jim mentioned, parts of the carolinas. for us, 83 out there we have doned a little bit of a bullet out there on this labor day. heat index, 88, a very humid afternoon. going to continue to see that humidity up there the next couple of days. >> here is temperatures, 79, win chester, 80 in la plata, 77 in easton. where is the rain right now? most of the rain up toward baltimore, they have been dealing with flooding and flood warnings in that area. delmarva hit very, very hard. also some rain farther down to the south. as we widen out here hurricane the remnants of isaac making its presence felt all across the mid-atlantic and ohio river valley. look at all of this rain down to the south and west, all of that this going to try to push through our area overnight tonight into date tomorrow and then again into the day on wednesday. we have the potential to see a lot of rain the next couple of days, get out tho

doug brinkley is joining me now, doug, good to see you thank you for joining us. is this a do no harm debate in or does each candidate have something to prove on wednesday? >> barack obama he and hiss choice would haven't the debate. after all today's polls are up nine points in ohio. it looks like these debates are just the rapids the president has to go through. if he didn't have them, it would be fair sailing. so for mitt romney, these debates are essential. he's going to have to show that he's presidential. so far when he went to the olympic and maybe gaffed and he stumbled with that 44%. they're not sure they can live with the guy for four years so mitt romney has to really be the one that comes out the winner. he's got to score. >> there was a time between the famous kennedy-nixon tapes that there were no televised debates. why are they considered so vital now? >> well, the kennedy-nixon debates created so much attention in 1960. many people think that's why ted kennedy won. if you recall ford made famously the gap that -- and then certainly by 1980, ronald

joining us now from charlotte is doug luzader. hard time previewing that because no one knows what the former president could say. >> it is all guesswork right now which should make it something to watch tonight. we will see. there's a lot of talk around here about former president bill clinton who is going to take over this arena tonight. that stage belongs to the first lady. there is no question about her popularity. michelle obama walked on the stage last night she was very well received as you might image. they were painting a picture of the president in personal if not political terms. >> you have seen first hand being president doesn't change who you are. it reveals who you are. >> as the president and first daughters looked on from the white house michelle obama delivered her call for a second
