The day. We start with the search for answers in the Fatal Shooting of three Law Enforcement officers in baton rouge, louisiana. Three other officers were also wounded yesterday in that same incident. This happened less than a mile from police headquarters. Authorities have identified the gunman as gavin eugene long. He is a former marine who police say carried out the attack on his 29th birthday. He was later killed in a gunfight with police. The motive is still unclear, but investigators say they believe he acted alone. We believe that the person that shot and killed our officers, that he is a person that was shot and killed at the scene. So thats what we know right now. We do not believe or do we have any other shooter held up in any other area. Baton rouge police have identified two of the officers killed in the attack as Montrell Jackson and matthew gerald. The third is sheriffs deputy brad garafola. Officer jackson had just posted on facebook how philly physically and emotionally drained he was after the july 5th killing of alton sterile by police. He said these are trying times. Dont let hate infect your heart. I am working these streets, so any protesters, officers, friends, family or whoever, if you see me and need a hug or want to say a prayer, i got you. This deadly shooting hits close to home for Community Leaders and bay area police. Tensions were high following the shootings in dallas that left five officers dead. Alex savidge is live outside in oakland where he spoke with a department representative. Reporter yeah, we did. Good morning to you guys. Certainly the killing of those three Police Officers this weekend in baton rouge is once again taking a toll on local officers here. I did just speak briefly with a couple of officers here heading out on patrol this morning here in oakland. They told me they are just trying to keep their heads up at this point after what has taken place over the last couple of weeks. We should point out safety a big priority, especially for the Oakland Police department and other local departments. Officers here in this city, they are continuing to ride two officers to a squad car. That was a safety measure that was put in place following the ambush killing of those five Police Officers in dallas earlier this month, and now im told it will continue given what happened in baton rouge. Now, doubling up means there will be fewer patrol cars here on the streets of oakland. But the same number of officers on patrol. Im also told the Oakland Police departments Intelligence Unit is constantly gathering information coming in from across the country to keep an eye out for any potential threats to officers here locally. A spokesperson for the Department Tells me this is certainly a challenging time. We always remain vigilant. We are always aware and we have to assess. Now during these last several incidents it obviously heightens. We remain vigilant. We remain aware. At the same time we realize we have a service to provide. So our chief is ensuring that were safe by twoperson cars. Reporter now, local Police Officers certainly are saddened by the loss of life in baton rouge, but there is also calls here for change as well. Let me show you part of a statement from the san jose Police Officers association that was put out in response to the baton rouge case. It reads, it is pastime for our political leaders to step up and support Law Enforcement with the necessary staffing and equipment to keep our neighborhoods safe. We dont need any more statements of condemnation of these heinous acts or pledging of remorse for these latest murders. We need action. Thats a statement from the san jose Police Officers association. And again the doubling up, the two officers per squad car, thats happening here in oakland. That was put in place after dallas. They are also doing the same thing down in san jose, and thats always been the policy for the Francisco Police department. In oakland they will keep double up the officers for the foreseeable future. Alex savidge live there in oakland. Thank you. As he just mentioned, the san jose poa is asking works for more resources to keep thundershower officers safe as tensions between the community and police are at an alltime high. We are joined by the mayor of san jose, sam liccardo. Good morning to you. Good morning. So do you agree with the Police Officers association there in san jose that more resources from washington is the answer, at least part of the answer . Certainly more resources can always help. But we need to continue to do more local level to prepare. We are taking a lot of proactive action here in san jose both to ensure that our officers have the tools they need. Everything from the protective plates, the vests, and certainly the Communications Equipment they need. We have been making Big Investments there. And really strengthening the relationships with the community. Our chief and our department, our union has been doing a great job with that. Certainly, we are deploying our bodyworn cameras this month on every patrol officer. We have got a proactive effort on training for violence de escalation. We have got these coffee with a cop sessions that the chief has been leading. Its encouraging more conversation with the community. So there is both an issue of tools and resources as well as relationships. And we need to work on both. Mr. Mayor, as you talk to people in san jose, what do you think the relationship is between san jose and its Police Officers . I think the relationship has really been strengthening in recent months and years. The leadership of eddie garland as chief has done a lot to strengthen that relationship. We are working with our police union. I think thats been very helpful as well. Our critical need is to get more officers on board. We are going to the ballot in november with a pension reform settlement thats going to be critical to get approved so we can be aggressive in hiring and retaining officers. Mayor liccardo, if you are having a hard time finding enough officers to patrol san jose, is doubling up your officers taking a resource off the street and is it worth that balance . Reporter i didnt hear the end of the question about what is what were taking off the streets . If you are doubling up your Police Officers as other cities are, is that potentially taking another patrol car off the streets and shorting the Community Resources . Well, actually, there are tradeoffs in doubling up. Its not always the case that you make officers less effective. In many cases, its more effective to have two officers on the scene when we first arrive. We are not currently doubling up. We are leaving that to the discretion of the officers. We are changing that Program Based on the intelligence that our department is getting. We are vigilant about following those social media and what were hearing from washington, d. C. But right at this moment we are not doubling up. We may go back to doubling up as we continue to hear more information. And mayor, have you recently spoken to the police chief since the shootings yesterday . Yes. We communicated yesterday. I know that he and his entire team are being very vigilant. Certainly we need to do all we can to protect our protectors. They recognize their first duty is to protect us. We need to look out for one another. Did he have a sense of concern for his officers . Certainly. The chief was concerned, as i think every major city chief is right now. At the same time, im confident that weve got a team in place that is going to be prepared. And thats not to say that horrible violent acts cannot happen regardless of how prepared you are. But i think they are doing what they need to do to be prepared. San jose mayor sam liccardo, thanks so much for joining us on the 9 this morning. Thank you. Coming up on mornings on 2 the 9, the Republican Convention kicks off in just less than an hour. And ktvus ross polumbo is heading over. We will check in with him next. We are live with a security expert about how the safety concerns are on everyones minds. Lifes sharing a meal. And a kitchen with room for everyone. Spend 4000 or more on a new kitchen and get 15 back at the ikea kitchen event. Honey, is the internet back yet . Yes i need to let her know that i like this i like, like, like, like. I havent seen a movie based on a comic book in so long. I know. Were over here internet people get high Speed Internet from at t. With over 99 reliability. At an everyday price with no extra monthly fees. Keep calm, you internets on. Lifes sharing a meal. And a kitchen with room for everyone. Spend 4000 or more on a new kitchen and get 15 back at the ikea kitchen event. All right. The Republican Convention gets underway today. They are calling to make america safe again. Thats the theme today. There is a different theme every day. Im interested in the role the california delegates will play not just today, but through the week. A lot of people will be hearing from Melania Trump for the first time today. Donald trump is going to introduce her. Governor rick perry and scott baio speaking today. I am interested to see how mike pence will be received by the crowd. You can tell how enthusiastic people are by the way that people clap for certain individuals. So ill be watching that. Of course, the security as well. Ross polumbo is in cleveland. We are going to join him live in a few minutes. First, for more on what is going into really securing an event like the Gop Convention we are joined on the phone by Brian Michael jenkins. Director of the National Transportation safety and security for mineta Transportation Safety institute. What would be your first on the list in regards to securing the convention this week . Well, you know, we have been working to secure conventions for a long time. So there is a lot of experience here. And usually there are concentric rings of security beginning with the innermost important ring, and that is those who can ultimately get onto the convention floor. And those are, in order to get that far, one passes through a series of security checks. Then beyond that there is a broader ring that restricts people. Beyond that there is a broad erring broader ring that restricts traffic. Public events like this is where federal, state and local resources come together. Some people are calling for a suspension of the open carry law. Would you support that, or would you think there is security set in place to prevent a tragedy . You know, those who are charged with security, especially given recent events, are certainly justified in raising that issue that they dont want to see people carrying weapons. They dont want to be able to have to make those kinds of judgments. Is this person simply carrying a weapon . Is this person a threat to something that they are responsible for securing . And so it is understandable. Obviously, in this society its highly debatable. I can sympathize with those who have responsibilities for protecting Something Like this. Michael, this event was already going to sorry, brian. This event is was already going to be heavily secured. Now, with recent events is there any way that they can ratchet up something that was already super tight to begin with . You know, its certainly the planning, as you correctly pointed out, has gone on months, even years in advance. This is the National Security event. And they would have patterned the security in this one upon the security of previous events. And, look, we have had political conventions in the direct shadow of 9 11. So this is not new territory. Now, again, given recent headlines, i suppose everyone leans a bit more forward in the foxhole. But i dont know that there is a set of new measures that they can add on to those that are already planned. I was reading a little history on conventions, specifically one in the city of denver. City officials after that convention had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars after losing lawsuits because of wrongful arrests. Do you think making a bad arrest is on the minds of the thousands of officers there in cleveland . And if you were able to talk to them, what would you tell them about the type of arrests they should or should not make . You know, again you depend on the judgment of people who are hopefully well trained to make these kinds of judgments. I would say that my advice to those on the scene is do what you think you have to do at the time. Well sort out the litigation later. And it is not that unusual in the wake of an event like this for there to be, you know, some litigation regarding wrongful arrests. But the greater threat really is the threat possibly to the convention. The threat of something, you know, some tragedy taking place, and so this is not saying that people are going to be foolish or stupid or do absolutely wrong things, but youre making judgment calls. And in this particular circumstance youre going to be fairly aggressive about those judgment calls. Brian michael jenkins, thanks for joining us this morning. Ross polumbo is at the convention. He just arrived there. All right, ross, here we are talking about security. What is your First Impression of, i guess, the fortress around the convention . Reporter well, it is quite a fortress as you say. We just got here moments ago. We are about to go through security for the first time to get into the media center. Take a look at the security we have to pass through. This is just for the worlds media to come in. They search your bags, obviously. The metal detectors that you see in the airports. We understand that there are dogs on scene as well. Take a look to the right. This is the Convention Center. The Huntington Convention center. 15,000 members of the media from around the globe will be packing in here to begin covering the convention. The gavel falls now in less than an hour. They are all set and ready to go. Just to give you an idea of the perspective where we are right now, we are actually right near the river. If we walk down here, youre gonna see something that i think just about everyone in the world knows. Just beyond this fence over here im going to try to run. If you see this structure right back over there, that is the rock and roll hall of fame. So the media Staging Center is right near the river here. There is actually a big event at the rock and roll hall of fame last night. Everything regarding the security is extremely tight here. Its not just this fence you see here. This is actually just a construction fence. There is a 12foot high fence around the entire hard zone. Thats what this is the beginning of. It stretches from the Convention Center to the q where all of the events are going to happen. That is about a mile away from where i am standing right now. 2,500 officers from around the country are here. 500 of those are from Cleveland Police department. But the rest are volunteers from around the country. We even have the chp out here in order to help, of course. The secret service is here. The fbi is here. This is governed by the secret service. Once you are in the hard zone, this is the tightest security of all. There has been a lot of talk about this open gun law here in this state. Protesters or anyone outside the hard zone can carry their weapons. But inside the hard zone you cannot have a weapon. The security there a little tighter. We are about to go in. The gavel falls in less than an hour. We will have all the details all day long for you. Ross, the security thats in place this morning, even before the convention starts, will it increase as the week goes on, or is what we have today going to be the standard for the rest of the week . Reporter no. The security thats been in place now for more than a week preceding today is the security that is in place. You know, the protests have been starting already. Last night at around 6 00 local time here, 3 00 on the west coast, there was an impromptu march. There was only one protester arrested in that march. You may have seen video this morning thats already circulating around the internet in the soft zone, in this part going outward where you can carry a gun. There were a few people that were Walking Around with assault rifles and that sort of thing. So there is still a move on this morning to try to change that law temporarily so people cant carry openly, even in the soft zone. But the governor, john kasich, himself saying that he does not have the authority to make that happen. Even in the light of this most recent unfortunate shooting this baton rouge, it looks like that open carry law will be in effect. But inside, again, the hard zone. No guns. Ross, real quick, who is speaking today . And today is the day when its just kind of like the opening act, right . The heavy hitters are saved for later in the week . Reporter well, perhaps the most interesting speaker today will be Melania Trump. You know, she is always with donald trump. I have met her several times along the campaign trail. She is very nice. But usually very quiet. Today will be really our first chance to hear her speak in her own words and get to learn a little bit more about her. As you all probably know, she is a model. She spent most of her career as an International Model in new york. She is involved with some charity groups. But most people dont know much more about her after that. It will be interesting to hear more about who she is and what her political views are. We also have some elected officials. Senator joni ernst from iowa will be speaking. She is a military vet of more than 20 years. She is an upandcomer in the republican party. So since the first day is about security, it will be really interesting to hear what she has to say as we well. Those are the highlights from today. One final point. This whole stop Trump Movement that we have been talking about, that we believe is mostly over, well, when the gavel falls in less than an hour at the convention, this will be the last gas of that movement. This will be their last chance to try to push through a measure that could once again unseat the delegates. It is a very, very, very long shot. Were talking less than 1 . If anything is going to happen any more on that front, we are going to hear that in the first few hours today. Thats another thing that were looking at. It is very unlikely. Of course, if it does happen, we will get it right out to you. Make america safe again. That is the theme of the convention on this monday. Ross polumbo, have a great day in there. We will see you in later newscasts on ktvu. So many people say they already know who they are voting for president. As the gop Convention Kicks off this morning we are asking you are you watching the convention for the substance or perhaps the spectacle . That means for the soon to begin Republican Convention and the upcoming democratic convention. A number of responses. Luis says for the substance of course. I wont watch the democratic one though. Kevin tweets neither. I am not watching. My mind is made up for my vote. Hashtag hurry up november. Robert says you know scott baio will be bringing the substance. [ laughter ] another sarcastic one. Cleveland. Could the republicans have picked a more boring city . I am not watching. Of course, thank you for your responses. You can reach us about anything with the hashtag ktvuthe9. We will check more responses later in the newscast. Coming up on mornings on 2 the 9, putting a stop to the revolving door mentality in some San Francisco neighborhoods. Up next were live with a representative from the citys teacher Residency Program. Last monday we spoke about the need fill dozens of teaching positions in San Francisco and how the district is offering incentives to draw people in city classrooms. This morning we are talking about San Francisco teacher residency. A program that was created in response to low teacher supported for success. They are getting the most affordable route to getting a teaching credential and a masters degree, and making sure that those barriers of entry into the profession are also. Is designed after if you want to be a doctor . Exactly. How does it work . Why should doctors be the only ones who have to go through a Residency Program . We have built a model where we have teachers each year that do a oneyear apprenticeship and training program. When they go into the Public Schools they are set up for success and they have the hands on training to succeed in Public Schools. Like when you go to the doctor. Its not enough that your doctor, she got an a in chemistry or an a in biology. You want to know she is going to be a effective doctor for the community. Likewise with teachers. What do you think its going to take other than more money to get teachers into the profession . Increasing occupational prestige . Telling people how important teachers are . I think people who get into teaching understand how important it is and the sort of nobility of being a teacher. Going back to the first part, it is building the brand. Expanding the brand. Not so much as pushing teaching as this is sort of like servitude or you have to take a vow of poverty to get into it, but that you really care about the community that you are going to be working in and you have a support system to make sure that youre successful because we know that if the teachers are successful, then the children are going to be successful. I am curious about who is taking part in the program over the years. Sometimes we have conversations around the dinner table that in San Francisco it takes a san franciscan sometimes to teach San Francisco students. But are you getting people from outside of even the bay area now . We are. I travel across state of colorado to get folks to be a part of our program, to come and teach here. People from southern california, the bay area, San Francisco and all across the United States are part of our program and interested in teaching in the city of San Francisco. And its the model that we have built is something extraordinary because you dont see models like this. Its a publicprivate partnership. We have four partners. The San Francisco unified school district. The teachers union. Then stanford and the university of San Francisco with an all hands on deck approach to making sure that teachers are not only recruited. The part we dont talk about is the retention of quality teachers. Whats the average time in teaching for a teacher . So usually they are revolving doors. One to two years. Wow in San Francisco . In San Francisco. Its about, i believe, 50 of the teachers, there is a revolving door. Thats why our program was started. We have about an 89 retention rate for the students that come through the San Francisco teacher residency. Great numbers. All right. San francisco teacher residency. If someone wants more information . Go to our website www. Sfteacherresidency. Org. Thank you. Coming up on mornings on 2 the 9, its a program that takes Police Officers and children away from city streets.

We are checking twitter this morning and our question was, do you plan to watch the Republican National convention which begins tonight for the substance, hear some policy questions, or do you just watch it because it is a spectacle . We are getting a lot of kind of funny responses, i guess. Ill be drinking heavily. I am embarrassed by the spectacle our country has become. I guess thats a no. Simply put, for the spectacle. There you go. All right. We will talk about it through the day. Our weather is going to be cool. This is july. It looks like its take a look the that. About a week from now it will be opposite.

French president Francios Hollande joined thousands of people gathered in nice, france this morning for a moment of silence to remember the victims of last thursdays attack. 84 people were killed by a man who drove a truck into a crowd of people gathered for bastille day celebrations. More than 80 people remain hospitalized. Meanwhile, two more people were detained in france yesterday in connection to that deadly attack. An official says a man and woman were detained in nice suspected of helping the attacker obtain a pistol. That bridges the total brings the total to six now. There is no evidence that the driver was connected to terror network. A uc Berkeley Student was killed in that deadly attack. 20yearold Nicolas Leslie was taking part in a study abroad problem in nice, france. Brian flores is live on the cal campus with the details of the vigil. Reporter good morning, guys. I want to show you the front page of the daily californian, which is the studentrun newspaper here. It reads mourning death of student in france attack. There is a vigil planned at 4 30 on the campus of uc berkeley. Organizers say this is a time for the people that knew the student to heal and to remember his life. Now, the fbi confirmed to uc berkeley officials yesterday that indeed 20yearold necklace leslie was among the 84 killed in nice, france on bastille day last thursday. Leslie was 20 years old. He was studying abroad as part of an Entrepreneurship Program with the university. He was set to begin studies at the haas school of business in the fall. Nicholas was a graduate of torrey pines high school. Other students injured. 23yearold vladyslav kostiuk had a broken leg. 20yearold diane huang had a broken foot. Both of those people were released from the hospital. 21yearold daryus madora has broken leg as well and remains hospitalized. Reaction coming through social media. This was on the uc Berkeley Facebook page where one person wrote, hope this madness stops and we dont see young and promising lives cut short so abruptly. Rip Nicolas Leslie and our prayers to family, friends, and the uc berkeley community. We spoke with students this morning who are heartbroken over whats happening in the world. Its pretty stressful. I mean, i have a lot of friends abroad, like from other countries and also from here abroad. Its a scary feeling that we are not safe at home or out there. My heart hurts for those in danger. Reporter now, just two weeks ago another cal student 18yearold sophomore tarishi johnja in was killed. Counselors have been sent to france to help the 60 Berkeley Students who are part of this program. Some of the students have decided to return home. Others remain in france. But this memorial, this vigil scheduled for 4 30 this afternoon on the campus of uc berkeley. Following deadly attacks in airports in belgium and turkey, looking to israel as a guide. It is known for having extremely tight security. Aviation experts say americans might object to some of the security measures used in israel. For example, travelers are stopped more than a mile away from the airport itself and their cars are inspected for bombs and other weapons. Security agents patrol the airport and the terminals. They have the authority to stop and question any passenger and demand to see identification and other documents. Amid tensions in the bay area and around the country between police and some members of the Community One program in the east bay is working to build a Good Relationship between officers and children. A camp is set up high in the Oakland Hills where each summer the Oakland PoliceActivities League invites youth groups to camp out overnight. Officers and children Work Together in hopes of bridging gaps and build relationships. Some of the officers say with recent tensions, this kind of bonding seems even more important. This is something that every Department Needs to do, especially nowadays, just the way things are going on around the country. They are good people. Why . Because i know that im safe with them. They save peoples lives and they are fun. Feels great. Yeah, yeah. No. See these kids have a good time . Thats all the reward we need. All of the officers at the camp volunteer to participate to spend time with the kids. All right. Following some of the top stories out of San Francisco right now. Lets go to tara moriarty. She is live outside the hall of justice at our bureau. Whats the story about this new proposal . It could potentially withhold millions of dollars from san Francisco Police . Reporter yes. This is a touchy subject for officers. We know that acting chief Toney Chaplin sent a letter to supervisor avalos, who authored the proposal basically giving him a laundry list of reasons as to why this proposal simply doesnt work. Now, chaplin says that sfpd already provides quarterly reports to the board, but heres the snag. The Department Apparently missed its first deadline to file that report, which was due june 30th. Supervisor malia cohen had recent a law requiring police to report to the board. The break down of people stopped by race there. But that deadline came and went. So if avalos proposal passes, 15 million of the Police Departments budget would be placed on reserve. That money could be released if sfpd makes specific reforms like implementing a use of force policy that requires de escalation techniques. It says avalos proposal would tie up funds that could put the Public Safety in jeopardy. Avalos says that releasing the funds would merely require a report four times a year. Before we let you go, one more for you. Who is the supervisor, tara, taking charge when it comes to bike theft and closing down these chop shops . Reporter it should come as no surprise it is supervisor scott weiner. He is a bicycling enthusiasts. He is holding a meeting today at 1 30 this afternoon.

Just this past year those figures saw an increase of 20 . At the land use and Transportation Committee meet this Afternoon Police are going to be talking about the problems of chop shops, the number of arrests and strategies to curb the amount of threats. There you go. Tara moriarty live in San Francisco. Tara, thank you. Golden state warriors fans are remembering nate thurman this morning as one of the greatest players of all time. The hall of fame center died saturday after losing a battle with leukemia. Nate thumb, or or nate the great, was chosen by the warriors as the third overall draft pick back in 1963. He played 11 seasons of his 14 year career here before heading to chicago and cleveland. Thurman still holds the warriors record as alltime leading rebound. Nate thurman was 74. Many others are weighing in on twitter about the passing of thurman. Andre igodala tweeted a simple rest in place. Lebron james, a fellow akron, ohio, native, said he felt the impact he made on the community. And Magic Johnson called him one of the best thats ever played the game. Tenth all time in rebounds. Had the first quadruple double. I always wondered in the back of his mind, because he wasnt here when they won the championship in the 70s, he had all right departed, if he wishes he was here because he invested so many years and so much time with golden state. Well, i met him. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times. If it bothered him, he didnt let on. He was enthusiastic about the warriors. He was one of their best ambassadors. Real nice guy. He owned a barbecue joint. I went in there one time to see if he was there, and he was there, and i got to meet him. It was so cool.

New this morning, president obama honored a vietnam war veteran with the medal of honor nearly 50 years after his heroic act. Retired Lieutenant Colonel charles kettles landed his helicopter multiple times under heavy fire and is credited with saving the lives of 40 soldiers. It happened one day in 1967 when 80 soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division were trapped. He was one of several pilots who volunteered to fly a rescue mission. Last month he said this medal of honor is not just for him. The troops he rescued said during the last airlift the pilot radioed everyone had been brought out. Kettles received another car that eight soldiers remained behind. So he returned by himself without any guns to pick them up even though his helicopter was badly damaged and it almost could barely fly. A park ranger receives a new commemorative coin. The original one was stolen when she was attacked at her richmond home. She is 94 years old. She received that new coin at a ceremony marking the 72nd anniversary of the port chicago disaster. She also received a personal letter from president obama saying he was deeply saddened to hear everything she had been through recently. To get it back i dont know how i can tell you because that was the moment in my personal history that just stood out so much. This original coin was stolen along with other items from her home last month by an intruder who assaulted her. So far no one has been arrested. Switching gears here, in 2011 cards against humanity took off with people all over the world playing the often offensive and politically incorrect card game. Now the company that published that game is debuting a few more. I checked out some of the new games hitting stores with the ceo and founder of breaking games. Cherry spiro. What game is this and how do you play it . This is for the birds and you are attempting to get four birds in a row to win on the same branch. And the way thats done, its done with different dice. When you roll a combination of dice, in each case you have a choice of two. Can be 72 or 37, for example. And there are other cards and rule sets that make it very interesting. Are all these family games or more for adults . All the ones on the table are a combination. If you want me to show you individually, i will tell you what they are. How about this one . Letter tycoon is a family game. Its like monopoly and scrabble in that when you spell a words you gets points. You can buy auto letner that word and you can buy a letter than that game. If you play an a and i own it, the bank will pay me for it every time. I see how that works. What about the poop . Is it just called poop . Its called poop the game. It was invented by a father to teach his son math. You have a toilet card at the top and you want to play cards, but not exceed the toilet value. Oh. If you play three in a row, you can flush the toilet. Yet if you play more than 11, in this case, you would clog the toilet and you would have to pick up the whole row. That would work with kids. How about the game of 49 . The game of 49, in my opinion, is one of the most classic games to come along in 50 years. This game is so brilliantly designed. It was designed by a man who worked on it for eight years. The way you play that is you bid, you budget, you battle, and then you buy your way to four in a row. So each of these individual cards, like 33, the numbers on the board come up in a card. They come up for auction. And you bid on that number. If you win that space, you put your token down. There are payoff cards, wildcards that through the game will pay you 7 per token. Okay. Its a very difficult game to win, but you get a sense of accomplishment when you win. And if you lose, there is still a sense of camaraderie because you all play together at the end to keep someone from winning. Last but not least, this is called game of phones. Show the first photo in your camera roll and people will, you know, obviously maybe have some embarrassing moments. Whats that like . You are at a party. Say you have your phone and you really want to enjoy yourself with your friends, but you have never really been into card games. This is a great entry. You have your phone. The way it works is there is a judge every round and you execute whatever it is on the card and the judge chooses whoever has the best picture, the best emojis, the most amount of messages or the dumbest voicemail. Things like that. Thank you. You make me feel like playing a game. Thank you very much for joining us here on mornings on 2 the 9. Thank you. You like board games, mike . We were just talking.

This took an hour before they could get to the woman and the man. Firefighters say the two crawled into the storm drain trying to find a lost dog. This is early sunday morning.

Its a life sized bobblehead of donald trump. It was made by a 3d printing company. It was a collaboration between students, Youngstown University and that local manufacturing company. The Regional Chamber of commerce has also commissioned a Hillary Clinton bobblehead to go on display alongside trumps. The hope is that the bobbleheads will be good publicity for the states manufacturing businesses. All right. Paddleboarder had a Close Encounter with a whale off the san mateo coast. This is video shot by investigativeiana gusman in Half Moon Bay last week. She is a flutist and was playing her flute. She was playing it on her paddleboard when the humped back rumped into her. Another angle here of the encounter. Guzman was startled of course by the whale. Says she was also surprised that she managed to stay on her badle board through this entire encounter. That would be cool to be out there and see that as long as i stayed on the board. I wonder what song she was playing . Thats a good question. It worked. I am more content being on this side of the screen watching it happen to someone else. You said earlier you thought you might fall off . Yeah. Whale or not.
