A few bumps and bruises, but not much changed. Considering its a 50yearold car and its been gone for 30 years. You have no idea where its been.

So what happened . Abc 7 News Reporter has an update live from berkeley. Reporter well, one year has gone by, and nobody really knows how this will be funded. The federal government will not set aside any money for this, and many believe the private sector needs to get involved. Hopefully soon, since im standing right above the hayward fault. Had bart been running when the napa earthquake hit at 3 20 on a sunday morning, all trains would have automatically slowed down. We had a 10second warning associated with that.

However, the public did not get a warning. Reporter a year ago, lawmakers in sacramento voted to design a system for the entire state. State senator alex perdia of Southern California authored the bill. I have no doubt that given the various funding, that a final Funding Panel will come together sooner rather than later. We gave the secretary of Emergency Services two years in which to do that. Im confident it will be finish in much less time. Reporter it will cost close to 100 million to have it up and running for five years. A more realistic plan would include the private sector. There will be a plethora of apps, devices you can install on the wall of your house. Surgeons will have devices in the operating theater. Reporter right now, the Early Warning system has about 300 underground sensors in california, oregon, and washington. That information is sent into networks and transmitted just seconds before its felt in other nearby cities. Mexico and japan have had this system in place for several years now. It works well. And it issues a warning about 15 seconds before. But it is not perfect. So we have some problem. We need to improve our system. Reporter if california can come up with the funding, the system could be up and running in two years. At uc berkeley, abc 7 news.

Our objective is clear, and that is to degrade and destroy isil. We will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice. Reporter lawmakers back home applauded the administrations tough talk. I have no doubt well either fight them now or well fight them later. Reporter but exactly how or what the u. S. Military will do against isis, on that, president obama was vague. This is not going to be a oneweek or a onemonth or sixmonth proposition. Reporter isis is believed to be holding at least two more american hostages. And investigators are scrambling to try and identify the man seen in these two videos that show the executions of american journalist Steven Sotloff and james foley. U. S. Officials said it appears to be the same executioner. And before killing sotloff, he has this message. And sotloff sent a message of his own. He was no war junkie. He did not want to be a modern day lawrence of arabia. He merely wanted to give voice to those who had none. Reporter chuck hagel said today that the president s team is providing mr. Obama with options to destroy isis, and thats the objective, not options to contain isis. Abc news, washington.

First question from jose c, who emails, how much am i paying for a cable box that stays on even after you turn it off . That is a fabulous question. This has been a very big deal for a couple of years now. The report was just issued earlier this week about this exact subject. Here is the deal. Those boxes on your tv or sitting next to your tv now generally use a lot of electricity. So they have been replacing them slowly. So the ones this year use 5 less than the ones the year before, and the year before that its about 13 , 14 different. But whats the dollar amount . 50 is what youre paying to run that thing. Some refrigerators only cost 50. So now the government and activists are getting on cable companies. For you, ask your cable company, is this the most Energy Efficient one you have available . Youre looking for energy star 4. 1. Thats the new rating. Thats the one you want. 50 per per year, just to run the cable box. Ok. All right. The electricity. Val z asks via facebook, is there any way to stop companies sending me applications for credit cards . There is, and its funny. Its a twotier thing. Actually, threetier. You can do nothing and just get them in the mail all the time. Or you can opt out for five years or opt out for life. Theres actually a system for this. Those are called prescreened offers. If you go to a website, ill post something there to tell you exactly where you need to go. Theres a phone numberer a website, and you can quit having them arrive. And douglas g emailed, why do we have earthquake insurance outside of a typical homeowners policy . Because we have a complete mess of a situation here. Heres the deal. The majority of californians used to actually carry or at least half of us carried earthquake insurance. It was another 100, 200 on a policy. Everything was going along fine. Then the north ridge quake hit, and more money was spent fixing the homes in north ridge than they had collected forever in earthquake payments. So the Insurance Company said, look, weve got to get out of this. Were not going to do it. State said you have to do it. They said ok, were not going to sell insurance at all. And thats when the state set up the california earthquake authority, and thats why we have this system today. And thats why the rates are prohibitively high. So few people do it. As a matter of fact, its somewhere between 5 and 10 . And a lot of activists dont believe its even that high.

Last week, the band continued a 20year tradition with the San Francisco giants by playing the star spangled banner before a home game. It had been a fine performance. Then the trouble. Before taking their seats, the band went back to store their instruments in their bus in the parking lot. While doing so, they left one bin on the ground. Only later, after returning to their own parking lot, did the band realize the unthinkable had happened. Somebody took our bin of flutes and clarinets. Reporter 14 instruments owned by both the program and the students worth 8,000. But the monetary value is the least of it. The more you play it, the more you love it. Kind of like a friend.
