>> reporter: god willing the american people will wake up he said and realize it's better to stand with 350 million americans than continue to support israel. >> quite an answer clarissa. i have to ask you, what was it like being a female american journalist in that room and what about his response? >> reporter: well it was certainly intimidating norah. i was the only american in the room and, as you can see, had to shout to be heard. his aides pointed at me and said you are a hunter. so i would take that as a compliment, but make no mistake, it is not the palestinian's responsibility, he said, to instigate peace but israel as the aggressor to take the first step. >> great original reporting. clarissa ward thank you very much. when the president returns to washington, he will have to focus on the economy and the looming fiscal cliff. wall street is already focused on those talks. ce ceo of goldman sachs, lloyd blankfein said that a budget deal would be a challenge to average americans. >> we're going to have to undoubtedly do something to lower people's expectations, the entitlements and what people think they are going to get, because they're not going to get it. >> social security medicare medicaid? >> you could go back and look at the history of these things. social security wasn't devised to be a system that supported you for a 30-year retirement after a 25-year career. there will be things that the retirement age has to be changed, maybe some of the inflation adjustments have to be revised but in general entitlements have to be slowed down and contained. >> because we can't afford them going forward? >> because we can't afford them. >> with us now, national journal white house correspondent major garrett. good morning. congratulations as well. welcome to cbs. >> thank you. >> let me ask you, there's some indication of some progress on this. what progress have they made? >> first of all, they are talking and exploring ideas. right now this week on capitol hill it's sort of like you would prepare for thanksgiving meal. staff on the finance committee budget committee on the house ways and means are preparing the recipe, the numbers behind them things you can tax, how they add up in various different ways to put together a deal. the data will all be the same for everyone to look at once the lawmakers, decision makers reengage after the thanksgiving holiday. everyone is in the kitchen, looking at their recipes but we have to wait for the cooks to see what the meal will look like. >> that's an interesting metaphor, because a lot of people can get recipes but a lot of people can't cook very well. what ends up in this final meal if you will in the fiscal cliff? how are they going to do? ? i hear they will do it in two stages. >> the middle class tax cuts under the bush code passed in 2001. no tax increase there. that's the politically popular thing to do. then you take that and maybe throw in a debt ceiling there. you have the other issues. defense spending cuts domestic discretionary cuts tax reform entitlement reforms and put that off until later next year. the idea of having a bridge over the cliff to something that's a bigger resolution. that's one way of doing it. i will tell you this you'll never get more attentiveness, more public hisysteria than in december and never get a time where there will be more ability than cut a deal and have everyone celebrate the fact that we didn't have to go over the cliff. if you're a politician who wants to generate a sense of unease and capitalize on it now is the time to cut the deal. one other thing is every other interest group in this town, if you wait six months, will have six months to pick that deal apart. >> yep. >> if you do a big deal now, you can do it now before they can mobilize against you. that's another political incentive to act now and bigger now than later. >> major, are there different mind-sets today than there were in previous times that they had a debt ceiling negotiation, more inclined to want to make concession, more inclined to want to reach out to the other side and reach out to business and labor leaders? >> look, business has been contacting the president. rahm emanual, mayor of chicago, former chief of staff, has been very helpful. deal with the white house on this to improve those sort of torn relationships from the first term. labor and progressives are ten telling the president you don't have to go down the lloyd blankfe. n's entitlements. you can do this another way. however, the president's polling for a moderate democrat group came out with polling numbers this morning that the majority of the president's coalition is open to the concept, at least theoretically, of entitlement reforms, make them less generous. that polling data from his own pollster saying there might be a path there. what it's going to require is what it's always required people willing to take tough votes, look at each other and trust each other. >> maybe there will be a spirit of giving on both sides this holiday season. we'll see. major garrett, thank you so much. charlie? who edited the talking points given to the united nation's ambassador susan rice before she spoke about the attack that killed the ambassador to libya? margaret brennan has the details in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, charlie. specific references of al qaeda and terrorism were cut by the director of national intelligence the agreement of the cia and the fbi. the white house and state department did not make those changes. rice used the talking points in tv appearances shortly after the attack and republicans accused her of making misleading statement business referring to the assault as a spontaneous demonstration by extremists, suggesting she did it for political reasons. the intelligence source says that the links to al qaeda were deemed too tenuous to make public. however, cia director david petraeus told congress he had agreed to release that information in early draft. it was passed along to dni. then the fbi, which made more. head of dni is james clapford who did reopen the case but who suggested the final edit which were then signed off on again, by all intelligence agencies is not known. charlie? new hope for some of america's most beloved snacks. rebecca jarvis is here with that story. so the story is not over? >> it's not over. if you ran out and bought a $30 box of twinkies hopefully you didn't throw way the reseat. hostess has been trying to liquidate. they start this had process in court yesterday. but then the judge came out and said why don't you try one last ditch effort to make a deal with the bakers union? this is the union that has been on strike since november 9th. the judge came out and said let's go behind closed doors and see if we can work something out so that hostess can continue to exist as the company it is today. >> what might that something look like? >> it will very likely if they come to any kind of concession they will very likely look similar to what was on the table leading into this. the bakers union was asked to take an 8% pay cut. in order to move forward as a company, hostess management is saying the only way that we can continue to exist and be financially viable is if your union takes some kind of cut in pay. so they more than likely will have to do something along those lines. the company has now said look, we've lost $ million of business for every day you've been on strike. we may not be able to continue to exist as the company we were and may have to shut some other plants. >> what do you say to the cynics that this company intended this result all along? >> very likely. there's a huge chance. i've talked to a number of attorneys and say strategically speaking, that would be the right thing to do for hostess. >> good to see you, thank you. norah? the pacific northwest is getting a taste of extreme weather with two days till thanksgiving. one meteorologist calls the amount of rainfall there truly extraordinary. >> reporter: we are drying out in seattle for now. heavy rain and high winds more than 100 miles an hour in some places. rain was the big story, though. you have to go back more than two years to find a wetter day in seattle. wild weather pummeled the pacific northwest on monday as 70-mile-per-hour winds, heavy rain and downed trees knocked out power to thousands, already making this holiday week a traveler's nightmare. >> this is horrible. >> chuck jones works in a northwest washington office now surrounded by rushing water. >> all of a sudden you slam into a horrible lake in the road. dangerous. go slow. stay home. >> reporter: further south a mudslide thrust a tree straight into a state trooper's car, causing it and another vehicle to burst into flames. miraculously, no one was hurt. >> lot of wind. i hope it calms down. >> reporter: having to lend a hand in seaside, oregon. a fire crew clearing a fallen tree leading to major traffic delays. >> hopefully we'll have our thanksgiving. >> reporter: a property owner in port orchard, washington. >> i understand when the weather is bad and there's a high tide this is going to happen. i'm not sure what else to do. >> reporter: other local residents are bracing for more heavy weather, which could mean major flight delays for air travelers. we're just a couple of hours away from round two. not expecting nearly as much rain today as we had yesterday. you can bet a lot of people are making alternate plans for thanksgiving with the threat of more flooding and power outages. for "cbs this morning," i'm jeff dubois, seattle. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. indianapolis star says officials now believe a deadly explosion was now intentional. no suspects have been named. officials are looking for a white van that was seen in the neighborhood. l.a. times reports four california men are being held in an alleged terror plot. officials say the men arranged to join al qaeda and the taliban when they allegedly planned to use explosives to kill americans in afghanistan. mcafee says he is still in belize but will not say where and denies he is mentally unstable. police consider him a person of interest in the murder. government health panel is recommending hiv testing for all americans age 15 to 65. an estimated 200,000 people in the u.s. are infected with hiv and don't realize it. we are starting out with light showers around the bay area out the door today. grab that umbrella. you may just need it. it's got a lot of clouds making their way onshore outside. couple of breaks there in the skies, but still plenty of clouds to come throughout the day today. in fact, toward the afternoon, chance. >> reporter: rain is on the increase. hi-def doppler showing some of those light showers. further to the south, more rain expected cold front arriving later in the day, drying out for the holiday. >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by target. dream big. save bigger. david petraeus used to be one of the most admired americans. now he is out of a job and his reputation is damaged. how does he turn that around?

we're going to ask a top pr strategist who used to work for the clintons. that is ahead on "cbs this morning." your local news is next. 8x>88x>8>8>88x>88÷>8>8>88x>8>8>8>8>88x>8>8>8>88÷>8>8>8>8>8>8>88÷>8>8>8>8>8>8>88x>88x oakland this morning. >> your realtime captioner: linda marie macdonald. good morning, everyone. it's 7:26. i'm frank mallicoat. strikers are stopping work at the port of oakland this morning. with more on that, cbs 5 reporter elissa harrington joins us with an update. what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, basically what they are trying to do is block all of the harbor entrances and they are succeeding at this. you can see all of these truck drivers waiting to get in to make their daily hauls but they haven't been able to do that this morning. the port of oakland loads about 10,000 trucks per day. and many of the drivers i talked to say they are getting ready to go home. this is one of the busiest ports in the country union workers with the service employees international union asking for a fair contract saying executives haven't been bargaining in good faith. they are trying to reach out to the executives and getk this back to the bargaining table and try to get what they want. there will be a rally at 9:00 and another at noon and there's also a second picket line over at oakland international airport. in oakland, elissa harrington, cbs 5. >> thank you. we have traffic and weather coming right up. good morning. chopper 5 is continuing to follow these major caltrains delays. if you are just waking up, caltrains has single tracks right now around the palo alto station. they have reopened the southbound tracks after a fatal accident involving a pedestrian early this morning near palo alto. so bus bridge is no longer necessary but expect delays in both directions throughout the morning commute. that is traffic. here's lawrence. >> we are seeing some showers around the bay area. high-def doppler radar picking up on that right now. we have had to tweak it down with low-level moisture but taking you to oakland you can see some scattered showers showing up there right now. more of that on the way throughout the day. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com you hear about this? i don't even know what to think about this. you have general petraeus, four-star general. he's running the cia. and then all kind of trouble happens. and there's a woman involved who was writing his biography. the biographer the woman involved in the affair, guess who she hired for this. that's right monica lewinsky's -- [ laughter ] monica lewinsky's crisis manager. and i said whew! that is a genius move because that guy really kept the lid on things. if you think about it -- welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm norah o'donnell in washington. charlie rose is in new york. good morning charlie. >> you're in washington because you're getting one more award, so congratulations to you for that. >> oh, thank you, charlie. and in just one week, the key players in the david petraeus scandal have become famous so they've hired, as dave mentioned, some well-known lawyers and other representatives to do damage control. top washington attorney bob barnett is now working for the former cia director. petraeus's biographer and mistress paula broadwell has now hired the pr firm for former white house press secretary dee dee myers works, and jill kelley, who made the complaint that uncovered the whole affair has teamed up with abbe lowell and judy smith, and not to leave anybody out, kelley's twin sister has now been represented and retained the attorney gloria allred. that's a lot. chip reid is here with a look at petraeus's next step. chip, good morning. a lot of people are asking what does someone like general petraeus do now? >> well that's a really good question. he was not long ago one of the most admired men in america. the question now is whether he can regain that elevated status and if so how? by any measure, david petraeus's record of accomplishment is extraordinary. a four-star general, he led the surges in iraq and afghanistan. he was director of the cia, and while he denied any interest in politics, some top strategists had them on their short list for president. >> this personal failing will be a blip on the historical record. >> reporter: peter mansoor was a top petraeus aide in iraq. >> if we made adultery a disqualification for public office, i think about half of washington would be out of a job. so i think you could very well see david petraeus back in washington in a position a public position at some point. >> reporter: but getting there will take time and a plan according to crisis communications expert richard levic, who has helped a who's who during times. >> reporter: what does general petraeus need to do right now? >> general petraeus needs to do two things. first, disappear. it's the holiday season. he can spend time with his wife trying to mend that relationship. >> reporter: levic says that strategy worked for bill clinton after the monica lewinsky scandal, and for former new york governor eliot spitzer after he was caught with a prostitute. >> he had to set his own personal life in order first, and just like bill clinton, if the spouse forgives you, then who are we to judge? >> reporter: levic has the same advice for petraeus's alleged former mistress paula broadwell. disappear. avoid those photo ones that keep the story in the news. but becoming invisible might not be easy for someone as ambitious as broadwell. >> my long-term goal would be to become national security adviser. >> reporter: according to "time" magazine she was even tempted with no political experience to run for the u.s. senate in north carolina. so if disappearing is step one, what is step two? >> step two is the resurrection. we're in the holiday season. it is the resurrection. >> reporter: beginning early next year, petraeus should give an interview to a top policy oriented print journalist. avoid tv interviews, and do a speaking tour in europe where they'll care more about policy than adultery. then, come back home and start rebuilding his career. and the story gets even stranger norah. the "new york daily news" is reporting that the e-mails that broadwell sent to socialite jill kelley, the e-mails that really got this whole story going, were so menacing that they were described as the rantings of someone who was clearly unhinged and they say that kelley actually feared for her life. a source close to paula broadwell tells cbs news that that characterization is inconsistent with everything we know about paula broadwell, but this is obviously a story that is going to develop as the day goes on. >> exactly. chip reid, thank you very much. charlie? with us now is public relations strategist matthew hiltzik. welcome. >> good morning, charlie. >> henry kissinger after watergate said this what will come out eventually must come out immediately is. that a good rule to live by in a circumstance like this? >> i think it's a good thing to hope for. unfortunately, things aren't solely in your control, it becomes a little more difficult to know where it's going to go. i think that the general did what he could to make sure that everything would come out right away by acknowledging the affair and by stepping down. >> unlike say, john edwards. >> right, exactly. the opposite of john edwards, where i think this was a man who was straight forward. he acknowledged it and essentially paying the price by stepping down all in one news cycle, whereas john edwards extended it out over a lengthy period of time. >> how do you make the judgment as to whether you should do interviews orntd? >> i think one of the key issues is how many of the facts are yet to come out? i think in this case, there's not control of the information because there are these two or three other parties involved and it's unclear about what their intentions are or what their actions have been or what else may arise. i think he needs to wait quite a while because you don't want to be caught in the situation of answering once and then having to answer again. >> that's what criminal defense attorneys always say to me. make sure you know the facts before you make any presentation. paula broadwell, what would you say to her at this moment? >> i think the first issue is it seems like there might be some legal trouble for her. the first thing you want to do is make sure that you -- >> have a good lawyer. >> yes. you also want to make sure that you are not in further criminal jeopardy. you want to make sure that before you start blazing a trail for a new career that you're sure that you're not going to be indicted for anything. >> and for jill kelley? >> well i think she probably wants to clear her name in some way, but i think it's not clear based on her sister having a press conference today, i'm not quite sure where that goes. and i think that sort of leads us to have to wait a little while to see how it plays out. >> why do we always see the same people gathering around these scandals? >> some of them because they're very good at helping to solve the problems. >> and what do they know? >> well, it depends. that depends totally on the situation. there's some people who are very straight forward and acknowledge how they may have screwed up what their end game is and the others who are in total denial about it. >> and some with lawyers like gloria allred. >> yes. it's always interesting around her. i think that regardless of the merits of the particular case, she's certainly someone who knows how to get attention for it. >> matthew, thank you very much. police in california shock a female driver with a taser and her heart stops beating, and it's all recorded on video. we'll show you how it's raising new concerns about the weapons carried by thousands of cops. that's next on "cbs this morning."

[ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

>> yes. yes, washington is playing with fire and you don't get -- it's not like a football game where you get the two-minute warning. they don't tell you when you have -- you only get one more chance. >> the voters have returned the same politicians to washington that got us in this fiscal mess to begin with. why would you imagine that things would be different now? >> there's a lot -- there's a lot of circumstances that got together to get us into this fiscal mess. also people draw lessons from it. it's not the same people. even the same people are not the same people. anybody who has lived through a big trauma and has had that experience, if anything is resolved to make sure that doesn't happen again. i think this group of legislators has as good a chance of getting to a fair result as any new group of regulators coming in. i think whatever you gain in perspective you get compensated for in experience. >> charlie and gayle, it's interesting to hear how the business leaders are putting a lot of pressure, not just on the president, but also lawmakers to get this thing done right. what's happening is they're weighing in on all sectors of society to say we have got to do something now that circumstances no longer allow us to simply kick the can down the road. >> now maybe more people seem to be open to let's try something different. what we did in the past was not working. >> exactly. tonight scott pelley will talk with the ceo of honeywell about the fiscal cliff and what to do about it tonight on the "cbs evening news." now to a business story that could impact a ton of consumers this busy shopping week. more protests planned outside the walmart stores. some employees are giving up work as the holiday shopping season gets under way. they say it's all about low wages and a lack of respect. >> reporter: these protesters in a maryland walmart are demanding better pay and better treatment. >> they want us to be silent. in being silent they don't have to hear what changes need to be made in the store. >> reporter: across the country some walmart employees are planning to walk off the job on the biggest shopping day of the year. >> are you scheduled to work on black friday?

before you pick up that phone, here's dr. holly phillips. >> reporter: good morning. today on "health watch" when to call out sick. flu and cold season is here and inevitably some of us are going to wake up feeling lousy faced with the decision of whether to call out sick to work. here are some simple rules to when to pull up the covers. if you've got a fever, especially one over 102, accompanied by aches and pains, that could be a sign that you've got the flu. a sure choice for staying home. now, a milder fever with a sore throat and white patches on your tonsils suggests strep throat. in that case stay home and visit your doctor. you may need antibiotics. a mild cough, nasal congestion and low-grade fever may just be the common cold. if you feel up to it you can go into work but be kind to your co-workers and wash your hands before touching shared computers or appliances and cough into your elbow. researchers have put the cost of the common cold at $25 billion. of that $8 billion was from people calling out sick and $17 billion was from employees who couldn't be as productive. so if you're just not sure err on the side of caution and stay home. no matter what you decide your employer will pay the price, and as we say in medicine health is always more valuable than wealth. i'm dr. holly phillips.

>> that works. >> reporter: pumpkin pie and then the turkey. why is it called butterball again? >> a lot of people ask that question. >> reporter: actually, when the first butterball came out in the 1950s, it was simply plumper than its competitors. so it's a fat turkey. >> it's moist, juicy and tender. >> i am a turkey talk line expert. >> reporter: nicole johnson has been a butterballer for 11 years. if i worked here, i would always be hungry. >> the smell of turkey. >> reporter: is it difficult to resist this?

>> about a hundred passengers who survived trip. one child born on the trip named oceanis. >> and when did they begin celebrating thanksgiving? >> well what we think of as the first thanksgiving this is where the legend and the myth gets layered on. october 16th is the first harvest. thanksgiving would have meant a day of fasting. >> what did they serve? >> they did have turkey but wild turkey. not the butterball we're talking about right now. but a lot more seafood obviously. they were camped out next to the atlantic ocean, so there was cod. there was eel. eel was a great protein. >> i love eel don't you? >> no. not even kind of. >> and squanto, this famous indian that could speak english, taught them how to catch. >> he could speak english? >> that's right. when the pilgrims arrived in 1620, they were there for a few months, and one day somebody walk into their camp a bedraggled native american and speaks english and he comes back a few days later and brings another man named -- we call him squanto. that was probably not his real name. he could speak english. they had met european sailors english sailors for many years. this is part of the myth also. sailors had been up and down these coasts for a long time looking for cod. and squanto had actually been taken prisoner onboard a ship, been forced into slavelyry, first in spain and then in england. >> there are a lot of myths and misconceptions. including we think about what they wear. black clothes, black hats silver buckles on their shoes. you're saying even that's not true. >> that's not true. >> you're just here to break myths this morning. >> i'm bursting all those thanksgiving day stories this morning. the picture with the black and the black hats is really an idealized vision of the puritans who come a little bit later. that's a 19th century victorian america idealized vision. they tote their guns and go off to church. thanksgiving would have meant probably three hours in church. those puritans were festive people. >> seven presidents go back to the may flower, right? >> seven or aircraft including the adams. >> and what's lincoln's connection? >> he creates the first thanksgiving presidential proclamation placing thanksgiving on the last thursday in november. and it had nothing to do with the puritans or the pilgrims. he had very little to be thankful for. >> and roosevelt? >> roosevelt moved the traditional thanksgiving date in 1939 because of the depression. retailers said move it up a week. we need more time for shopping. that was happening back then. there was a lot of controversy over it. they called it franksgiving. 1941 congress sets the date as the fourth thursday in november which is where it is today. >> thanks. >> as long as i can eat turkey and wear pajamas most of the day, i'm good. >> pajamas on thanksgiving? >> i try to. but this thanksgiving, i'll be with you. we'll be right here. no pajamas, i promise. >> you're bringing the turkey are you? >> yeah that, too. ken's book, by the way, is called "don't know much about the american presidents" is on sale now. millions of us will be traveling for thanksgiving, and don't forget about christmas. >> not o cf1 o >> not us. we'll be here. we're not complaining either really. we're thrilled to be here. peter greenberg will show us how to analysts say the airports will be extremely busy this week for the thanksgiving holiday, as always. and the prices are only going up. so this means finding the best holiday travel deals will be tougher than ever. cbs news travel editor peter greenberg is here to show us how to navigate that travel maze. what would be great if you could just say guess what the holiday fares are going down! you never say that. >> no, you never say that. especially this year. 24 million people traveling competing for a fewer number of seats. they have nowhere to go but up but there is some hope. >> because you're saying we should pay attention to the websites. >> some websites. >> i still like picking up the phone and talking to somebody. >> i'm a big fan of the conversation. you should still do it. you can always go to the websites afterwards. have the conversation first because once you book a fare you still have 24 hours to purchase it. let's talk about some upside. there's one i like called hipmunk. it not only tracks the air fares for for you're welcome it tracks the agony factor. they give you readings you would never expect. over thanksgiving, how about new york to london? you know what it came up with? new york to london via istanbul. but it gave you a 15-hour layover. so if you plan it right, you get to tour the city and then go to london. >> yeah, but 15-hour layover. >> 15 hours in istanbul. >> no no, 15 hours in istanbul. and kayak, one most people don't know about is momondo. they're based in scandinavia. they scour about 700 other websites you've never heard of overseas. so if you're planning european travel, that's where to go. >> what happens if i just want to go to d.c.? >> it's called amtrak. there's a website called cruisecompete.com, sort of like the lending tree where they send you quotes. they all compete to see who's going to get you the lowest quote in. the cruise industry, an unsold cruise is inventory they'll never recoup once that cruise sales. these travel agencies may have preferred supplier relationships with the cruise lines or have unpublished deals that are not necessarily on other websites. >> you always say it's good to bundle your travel. >> what it means is as opposed to buying your hotel here your airline over here, you bundle it, even the you don't necessarily need the hotel because sometimes they've got to get rid of this inventory. new york to l.a.x., you can bundle something for $1,400 that's airfare and hotel. but if you bought it a la carte, it's $1,800. even if you don't stay at the hotel, it could be cheaper. >> you say it's better to get a hotel that you do not need? >> if it's cheaper than buying the airfare alone, you bet. >> it's sort of like buying a round trip ticket and you know you won't use the other part. >> it's the airfare that's going to kill you half the time, so if you can get a cheaper airfare because they blocked up the seats, who cares about the hotel. get on the plane. >> so we are in striking distance of thanksgiving but you say we should pay attention to dead weeks. this ain't a dead week. >> no, but the dead week is coming. it's the week immediately following thanksgiving. and the week immediately following new year's. those are the two weeks of the year that nobody goes anywhere and if you can actually delay your holiday by that one week take the kids out of school you own that destination just about anywhere in the world. the two dead weeks immediately following thanksgiving and immediately following new year's. you own it. >> and i never think it's bad to travel on thanksgiving day. there's nobody at the airport and you can get a really good flight. >> and then you come back on the friday when everybody's stuck in the mall. that's another day nobody flies. >> i've done that, too. thank you, peter greenberg. good to see you. mailing cards and invinations can be a real pain. we'll meet a brother and a sister who say their digital cards are easier and just as classy. paperless post is the name of their company. they're coming up next to tell us about it coming up next. look at this display of the power of the sun. two mass i haveive solar flares shot into space on friday. this eruption was so big, nasa's cameras could not capture it all. scientists say these flares were directed away from the earth, so they won't give us any problems. people sure like getting invitations, but they don't always like sending them. but james and alexa hirschfeld said you can fix that. they're brother and sister and they co-founded paperless post. their website allows you to send your own eecards. welcome you two. james, i hear this was your bright idea. you were 21 at harvard university and you're thinking what? >> i had just had a party for my 21st birthday and i realized there was no way to send an invitation online that reflected how much care and thought had gone into the event. the only way was to send it through a service like evite. i thought there matt schaub way to combine the beauty and customization of paper stationary with the efficiency of online communication. i sort of had the idea. >> so what did you then do when you had the idea? >> i called my sister. >> yeah. >> and sister said? >> yeah so actually he talked -- he told me about this idea. and i listened. he's not the one that normally gets excited about ideas. he's actually much more cynical and much more -- but i imagine the service where you can see it really looks like paper stationary. you see the grain of the paper and the font of the colors, but it's delivered all online. i think people would use it. i think they'd love it. >> and the thing about your site, your invitations are so beautiful. right now, as it turns out, working on the "cbs this morning" christmas party, do you think maybe we should use paperless posts? >> i don't see why you wouldn't. >> you make it so interactive. there's a very cool thing. it's like it comes to life on the screen. was that your idea, alexa? >> it was my idea. because basically we wanted people to be able to remark and say oh the one that looks like paper, it comes out of an envelope. >> i'm intrigued by the two of you. tell me how you assess each other. >> we've obviously known each other a long period of time. there was a lot of data to go on. but basically i always wanted to work with alexa. i always felt if i thought of a product she could manage a team for, we could do a good job. >> so you come up with an idea and she does the work. >> he also is a really great designer and artist and always has been. he used to paint and sculpt and do all the photographs. and i remember everybody would see his work and they would love it. they're like he's amazing. >> so who's the entrepreneur? >> i think we both are. >> and whose decision was it to charge for all of this? >> both of ours. >> depends who you ask. >> i got this morning from linkedin, that harvard was ranked number three the most entrepreneurial colleges. but harvard has produced ten self-made billionaires more than any other school. so is that sort of your goal? >> and all of them dropped out before they got a degree. >> did you think we could make a lot of money doing this? were you thinking that? >> i think that harvard -- the best thing about it isn't that -- maybe it's not the classes that you take but the people that you're there with so it was really inspiring to see people friends of ours, or people that were older than us who had created things from nothing, and that was an inspiring thing. >> so your parents, what do they say about all of this? way to go? >> they're pretty supportive. they're just designing their holiday cards right now. >> i wonder who they'll use? >> exactly. >> do your parents get a discount? >> having this success where do you go from here? >> well we just launched paper, which is ironic. >> isn't that a contradiction to what you do? launching a paper line? >> you would think so but people love us for the ability to -- it's not just that they send it online. it's that they can design it themselves, which is a new thing. before they had to go to the stationary store and talk to somebody. people love our design and their ability to design something. >> what we found is that our users have been saying over and over again we love paperless posts, but we also sometimes need to send paper invitations. >> as i mentioned, we're doing the holiday card here. you said friends and family discount. my name is gayle, his name is charlie. we are your friends. >> no, we're family. >> thank you, guys. >> thank you. >> much success to both of you, our continued stouz edd success to both of you. we'll watch and see what happens. that does it for us. up next, your local news. we'll see you tomorrow right here on "cbs this morning," as we make our way to thanksgiving. >> your realtime captioner: linda marie macdonald. good morning, everyone. it's 8:55 i'm michelle griego with your cbs 5 headlines. streaking workers are hoping to disrupt operations at the port of oakland. striking maintenance staff and janitors are staking a one-day strike. they are without a contract for 16 months and turned down the latest management offer. nurses are on strike at 10 bay area hospitals. the walkout is happening for two days at eight sutter hospitals and for today only at two san jose hospitals run by hospital corporation of america. key issues include staffing levels and sick leave, replacement workers have been hired for five days. voters in berkeley have rejected a so-called sit-lie ban that was aimed at the homeless. measure s would have banned sitting and lying on commercial sidewalks between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. but lost by 4%. here's lawrence with the forecast. >> we have seen a few showers early on in the bay area, still a chance of scattered showers so grab the umbrella if you are heading out the door. looking toward russian hill and the golden gate bridge, cloudy skies right now. hi-def doppler has them picking up a couple of raindrops outside so be prepared. most of the focus is in the north bay although some of that is sagging further to the south. we are going to see the cold front moving in later on. it's going to be a slow mover. looks like late in the day in the north bay and overnight for the rest of the bay area. then maybe a little unsettled early tomorrow morning but most of wednesday a big travel day should be dry. thanksgiving looking nice and sunny and warmer. warmer into the weekend. we are going to check out your "timesaver traffic" coming up next. good morning. an accident southbound 880 in oakland is cleared but look what it's done to the northbound ride. it's still really jammed up past the coliseum. unfortunately it looks like this towards downtown. drive time in the red almost 40 minutes between 238 and the maze. new accident just coming in, in san jose. northbound 101 approaching story road. and caltrain even though both tracks are now open, there was an earlier fatal accident on the tracks. still seeing major delays both directions of up to an hour northbound and southbound. have a great day. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com >> today ... >> someone's in the kitchen with zooey. >> there's a new girl in my kitchen, baking up a holiday classic in time for thanksgiving. >> i always wanted to cook on television.
on the plane. there were no injuries. damage was relatively light. the airplane hit the fence. but the fence can be repaired. the airplane looks like it can be repaired. the liquid that you spoke of turned out to be the hydraulic fluid which is why the brakes failed. >> any danger of fire at any time? >> no danger of fire. the leak itself was actually quite small. but brakes are a high pressure system and just a little bit of a leak and you completely lose braking. >> mr. peterson, this is ken bastida. i go back, you know, to the late '80s, early '90s where there were a whole slew of problems with this airport. this is right in the middle of a residential area. it's got streets around it. there have been incidents where aircraft have gone into homes. we're going back a few years, granted. but how has the airport been able to coexist with so many people living around it? well? >> i think the pilot community has been cautious in how they operate out of the airport. >> and by that, what do you mean? >> well, this is not an area that has lots of high risk takers. the people who operate here are cognizant of the fact that we're in the middle of a neighborhood and behave accordingly. >> okay. general aviation airport and a lot of small planes, private own, things like that. just stuck in an area of a lot of homes. is it something that pilots take extra precaution ongoing in and out? >> certainly in my conversations with the pilot community at this location, they do take extra precautions. like i said, we just don't have the risk takers that you sometimes see at other locations. >> all right. eric peterson at reid-hillview. again, two people walk away from a rough landing at the airport. it's on the eastern side of san jose. the plane stopped by an airport fence. and we heard that no one was hurt on the ground and the plane winds up being towed back to the hangar. also in the news tonight, a blast of winter finally smacking the sierra but far from enough to put a dent in our drought. kpix 5's andria borba joins us now live from donner summit, where, yeah, it ha been snowing. >> reporter: all day we have been getting snow on the summit. but take a look at the donner summit sign behind me. on the typical year, you wouldn't see the sign at all from this rest area or interstate 80. this is yuba began on january 30 at 5500 feet when there's barely enough snow on the ground to resemble a frosted oatmeal cookie you don't need official measurements to know how bad the drought is. all along 80 snowplows roamed with their blades up not enough snow to scrape off the asphalt. today, word from the state department of water resources the 8" of snow last night on donner summit is historically bad. >> that was not nearly enough to make a dent in the drought. >> reporter: the official snow survey happens this afternoon along highway 50 in el dorado county. the statewide snowpack a mere 12% of normal. >> the next worst winter snow measurement at this date was 21%. and that was back in 1991 to 1963. >> reporter: the river should be raging but instead the water is moving along at typical july levels. >> these first storms are just being absorbed into the dry ground. and the runoff isn't happening. >> reporter: now, speaking with state climatologists they tell kpix 5 it would take storm after storm after storm like the one we had up here last night, the one we're expecting, a little bit of snow from up here tonight, to get us anywhere near average normal levels for snowfall for the state of california. they say that the snow survey they are going to take in april will be the true test of how bad things are going to get here in the golden state. live on donner summit, andria borba, kpix 5. >> thank you. the streets got soggy in san jose overnight. the splash of rain providing some much-needed moisture in the parched bay area. san jose recording about .10" today. paul deanno is with other mobile weather in san anselmo. we are hoping to squeeze a little more rain out of this system. right? >> reporter: man, i know a lot of folks woke up this morning looked outside and the sun was already out. they said that's it?! that's all we're getting? and the answer temporarily was yes. on average, about .10" of rainfall although, thankfully, in place like san anselmo, marin county, we are seeing the next low pressure system moving through. we are not done with the showers yet. there will be some showers moving through especially in the north bay this evening but not enough to stop from us having the driest january ever. with the lack of rainfall in san francisco overnight only .03" for the whole month, .06" of rainfall will beat the record set back in 1920 right after the end of world war i where we had .26" rainfall. the driest year on record last year, driest january on record this january and the drought mess is worse. we are in the worst stage of drought an exceptional drought in portions of southern santa clara county and also santa cruz county so the drought is getting worse despite the rain this morning. more rain coming up in the seven-day forecast. we we'll talk about that coming up. our drought is so severe right now that several bay area community are actually at risk of running out of water in two to three months. didn't take long, did it? state officials are now making plans if in fact that does happen, allen martin is here to explain the governor's strategy to help communities that could run dry. it just to be a few months. >> reporter: could is the operative board. the governor met with water managers in southern california today discussing solutions to help the struggling northern california. in an urgent meeting governor brown discussed an unprecedented statewide concern. water. the lack of it. >> make no mistake, this drought is a big wake-up call and a reminder that we do depend on natural systems. >> reporter: more than a dozen southern california water officials met with the governor to talk about a drought problem so critical, it could require federal assistance. >> i spoke to president obama yesterday by telephone. he pledged his support to help california. >> reporter: in a statement, the white house says the president, quote, reinforced his commitment to providing the necessary federal support to the state and local efforts. the governor says, don't brush your teeth more than you have to. don't flush more than you have to. and turn the water off when you're shaving or brushing your teeth. the metropolitan water district of southern california is declaring a regional water supply alert asking all californians to voluntarily reduce water use by 20%. >> we need water. we are going to have to get water. and the first source is to not waste it. >> reporter: the governor also discussed with the board doubling its already $20 million conservation rebate to $40 million furthering incentives for water reduction. while northern california is starting to see the first signs of wet weather, the governor says it's still the part of the state that's hurting the most. and if necessary, he says he is considering transferring water from southern california. >> we have a problem. as governor, i'm responsible for the whole state. so i'm going to do my best to unite the state. >> reporter: it might seem odd that southern california doesn't see the need to impose water cutbacks just yet. apparently, years of conservation and its ability to get water from the colorado river as well as northern california has been able to boost reserves down there but if things continue to look bad here less likely anybody is going to want to export water down south. >> that would take another hour to discuss north and the water wars in this state. i'm looking at 17 communities statewide that could run out of water in the next few months. >> reporter: most of those are smaller communities. but certainly the water officials in the state say if the drought continues, we don't conserve more water on a bigger scale, that list could definitely grow meaning more and more people will be impact in the state. >> short showers, don't water the grass. don't flush. >> we have done it before. we can do it again. >> thank you, allen. this week's weather did nothing for the reservoirs. check out just how long they have

other internet cafes will get the message. >> eventually i hope that it's going to discontinue in the whole city. it's not something that should be happening. gambling should be in the casino, not in your neighborhood. >> reporter: there's another internet cafe about four blocks down that way. neighbors are hoping the city will now go after those guys. live in san francisco, i'm da lin, kpix 5. >>

base their rates on three factors, your driving record, the number of miles you drive and your years of driving experience. should you get a special price break because you belong to a professional organization? a consumer group is asking the state insurance commissioner to answer no. >> he must act -- >> reporter: consumer watchdog founder harvey rosenfield is calling on the state insurance commissioner to bar auto insurance companies from providing price breaks to people because they belong to professional organizations or to other so-called elite memberships referred to as affinity

reporter: rosenfield says consumers who don't belong to these affinity groups are charged more for their car insurance in order to make up the difference. >> so as it turns out, it's middle income and low income people who don't have fancy jobs or didn't get a fancy education who end up subsidizing the rich folks who get these special breaks. and that is illegal in california. >> reporter: insurance commissioner dave jones is responding today with a written statement which says in part, the department will consider the petition when received. >> if he reject this petition and refuses to take action our only other option is to sue the commissioner. >> the commissioner has 30 days to respond to the petition. let's check in with paul deanno out there who is doing his little rain dance

cbs 5 political reporter grace lee on why the ag has a problem with the feds. grace. >> reporter: she says the intent was good but the execution is overly brought meaning i.c.e. is deporting too many people. according to her research, about a third of the 28,000 people deported were not even criminals and -- 82,000 people deported were not even criminals and she issued the policy change today. >> that's been some confusion and we have been approached by law enforcement up and down the state asking for clarity. >> reporter: she issued a bulletin to all law enforcement agencies in california. if i.c.e. asks someone to detail someone they don't have to. she believes the program called security community or s-com is voluntary, not mandatory under the law. currently it requires a police send fingerprints to the department of homeland security whenever they arrest someone. the change now is that if i.c.e. wants to detain them, local law enforcement does not have to keep them in custody. >> i want that rape victim to be sure in knowing if she waves down a police officer in a car that's driving by, she will be protected. >> i think it is a great step. but i'm not sure how quickly the message will be dispersed in the community. >> reporter: jackie gonzalez says she has dozens of bay area clients on the verge of being deported and they are victims. she says this change in policy could have helped a 16 victim she calls ava. >> and once they determined who was the victim and who was the aggressor, if it didn't exist, she wouldn't have been in immigration custody and proceedings. it would mean she wouldn't be facing deportation today. so it would have been huge she wouldn't be facing deportation. >> we spoke with the spokesman for i.c.e. said: "the federal government alone sets these priorities and places detainers to ensure that dangerous criminal aliens are not released from prisons and jails into our communities." in california, i.c.e. has deported 82,000 illegal immigrants under s-com. a spokesman says three-quarters had already been removed before and didn't elaborate on the attorney general's decision today. 62,000 of those had convictions but they were trivial and some were detained for running stop signs or a broken taillight. >> i'm wondering if money plays into this at all. >> well, right now the way it stands is that if a local municipality holds someone for 48 hours, the feds don't reimburse them the money so the local people are the ones footing the bill for i.c.e. at this point. >> all right. thank you. mini spy planes could soon what patrol the skies over alameda county. the sheriff's office says it needs the remote-controlled drones for emergencies and deputy safety. but cbs 5 reporter ann notarangelo says

search-and- rescue and searching search warrants in high risk areas where deputies are concerned about armed suspects. >> having a device like this that we could look into that area prior to serving

them for surveillance on ordinary americans. >> reporter: some believe the sheriff is not being honest. >> documents that the aclu obtained along with documents that ess obtained showed his true plan is to use a drone for spying for surveillance intelligence gathering. this is spying. >> the sheriff clearly is working to secretly unleash a drone on alameda county. >> reporter: although the sheriff's office had agreed to wait until a hearing before the public protection committee to decide this issue, it suddenly ended up on the county board of supervisors agenda for approval. the undersheriff says it was a clerical error and the item was pull. -- was pulled. as for how the drone will be used, the undersheriff admits it's a gray area. >> there are no hard and fast rules. in fact, currently, the faa hasn't even issued their final rules on using these. >> reporter: it's not just privacy advocates who are cautious. there's a bill in sacramento that would establish regulations on drones to protect people's privacy. there is a call to have enforceable safeguards in place. what sort of guarantees can you give them? >> you know, it's a matter of trust. and i know that there are some individuals who don't trust government who don't trust law enforcement. and i don't know how we can ever convince them. >> reporter: the public protection committee is expected to hold a public hearing sometime in january to take up the issue of drones. if the committee approved the drones it would go back to the board of supervisors for final approval. in berkeley, ann

will miss st. helena by about 5 miles to your north and west. so why is this just rain and not a storm? that bears explaining. i'm going to do that now. northern california is going to get some rainfall. two things have changed. first, the atmosphere isn't as juicy. there's a certain water content that we can measure in the atmosphere and this particular system doesn't have as much as the past three that you endured over five days. so not as much juice in the atmosphere and notice everything is lifting to our north and west because that's where the focus of the jet stream energy is. it's been pushed a little to the north because of high pressure building in off the southern california coastline. so that near miss as opposed it a direct hit with less moisture means you're only going to get some rainfall so it will be slick and tough driving at times tomorrow but it won't be an all-day washout and won't be a concern like over the weekend. now, beyond tomorrow, it's all about high pressure and after a very cloudy pattern over the past several weeks we'll have high pressure building in and we'll have a dry chilly sunny northwest flow of air. we'll have highs only around 60 over the weekend with overnight lows in the 30s but you will get some sunshine. mother nature is going to pay us back. it's been cloudy recently. showers coming from the north and then showers all

(blowing sound) ask your doctor about spiriva. follow developments in a dey shooting at an oregon mall. outh of more on our top story tonight. we continue to follow developments in a deadly shooting at an oregon mall. police in clackamas south of portland say at least three people are now dead including the gunman. a fourth person was badly hurt. this is live pictures from the scene. it all started near the clackamas town center food court around 3:30 this afternoon. witnesses described people running, screaming and trying to hide. >> a lot of people diving. i'm hoping that they weren't getting shot. but there was a lot of people falling and hiding, hiding behind things and so -- a lot of people running, a lot of screaming. we actually hid behind a garbage can, me and my three friends, and then they -- two of them were saying that we should stay because they didn't know where they were firing. but i just stood there and started running so... >> again, at least three people now reported killed at a mall shooting in oregon. another victim taken to the hospital with what's described as traumatic injuries. police teams are sweeping the mall checking for other victims. we're following this story and we'll keep you updated as new information comes in. the single most important measure ever passed by california voters, to some it is sacrosanct. but others say it is time to revisit prop 13. at 34 years old it holds property taxes in place making it harder for legislators to raise other taxes and in a state notorious for high taxes, a lot of people like that. but as cbs 5 political reporter grace lee explains, more and more californians think the aging law needs some work. grace. >> reporter: you know, there are billions of dollars at stake here so a lot of people are weighing in on this including tom ammiano. he wants to change the law to bring in more money for schools and public safety. but already, he is getting flak for it. in california, residential and commercial owners are supposed to be treated equally under proposition 13, which passed by voters in 1978. for homeowners, it's straightforward. when you buy a house, your property taxes are based on your purchasing price. your property tax does not change until it's sold to the next owner. a transfer. commercial properties, it was designed to be the same but instead business don't transfer land. they transfer stock which excludes them from getting reassessed so some businesses get to pay a lower property tax. >> so some of them are still being assessed say from 1990 evaluations and their property taxes haven't gone up and it costs the state millions. >> this is the most dramatic view of it. in 1978, 60% of all property taxes in the state were paid by commercial property owner. 40% by residential. it's now flipped. we residential own railroads paying 60% and the commercial 40. and so we're subsidizing very large corporations who are not paying their fair share. >> reporter: assemblyman ammiano tried to close this loophole for commercial properties last year and failed. this year, he thinks he has a better shot because the democrats have a supermajority. but now the fight has become personal even amongst fellow democrats. in a recent "san francisco chronicle" article, former mayor and speaker of the house willie brown said, quote, if i were in charge, i wouldn't have ammiano or anyone else with a long history of supporting tax hikes carry the bill. i'd pick the most conservative democrat i could find and have him do the job." >> i challenge willie brown to -- i don't think he ever got over that. so i found the remark to be a little snide. >> reporter: you might remember those two men they ran against each other for mayor of san francisco in 1999. clearly, they are still working it out. so what are businesses at? a group that opposes new taxes says businesses are already paying their fair share and he said, unless businesses are trying to hide a change of ownership, they believe the law should stay as it is. we're going to be watching this closely because a lot of people are concerned if they change anything with prop 13. >> it is going to be a fight. thank you, grace. and then there are california state workers. a new report details just who makes what. cbs news reporter randy paige takes a look at the numbers. >> reporter: california's been described as the golden state particularly for some state employees. according to this bloomberg news story which compares compensation for california state employees to their counterparts in the nation's 12 most populous states california ranks number one with the average pay for state workers at more than $60,000 a year. new york ranks number 2 at $56,000. and new jersey right behind at $54,000. then there are the extreme examples. bloomberg reports one prison psychiatrist made more than $800,000 last year and a chp division chief retired with more than $483,000 with salary, pension and other exceptions. >> that's a lot. >> reporter: reaction on the street today was unanimous. >> definitely something should be done about that. >> even if those examples are not representative of the broader state employee population, it's the kind of thing that leaves a mark and resonates with the voters. >> reporter: at usc's unruh institute of politics, a professor points out this story comes just one month after california voters were convinced the state was so broke, that a tax increase was necessary to pay for the beleaguered public school system. >> next time there's an initiative on the ballot here in los angeles or statewide, or the next time a viewer sees a story on your station about public employee benefits, they are going to remember this story. that's going to make them that much angrier. >> reporter: he says that can be translated into votes in next year's elections. >> in the next year or two you will see ballot initiatives local here in los angeles and on a statewide ballot designed to change the way public employee benefits and public employee pensions are done. >> reporter: which means, next year, voters will likely hear less about how poor the state is and more about how it got that way. at usc, randy paige, cbs 2 news. we have all heard the expression a penny for your thoughts? one state worker got a lot more than that and it came out of your pocket. a recent audit revealed the unnamed department of education employee spend the bulk of his time posting comments on the "sacramento bee"'s website. he posted nearly 5,000 of them in a year all during business hours. >> he is, you know, using the taxpayer's time to basically voice his opinions on, you know, whatever it was that he, you know, struck his fancy. >> when questioned, the worker claimed that he didn't have enough to do during the day to stay busy. he was never formally disciplined and continued to post until he eventually quit. the department has now installed software to restrict unauthorized employee activity on social media websites. a tumultuous day in michigan as the state's governor signed bills making it the nation's 24th "right to work" state. cbs reporter randall pinkston was in lansing as tens of thousands of union supporters protested at the state capital. >> reporter: police clashed with union supporters who are angry over new legislation that makes michigan a "right to work" state. >> one of them grabbed me by the head and another sprayed me in the face. >> reporter: from the floor to the rafters inside the capital building, protestors shouted, shame on you, as michigan's republican-controlled house passed the bill. >> this is what democracy looks like! >> reporter: union members fear it will hurt wages and benefits and set a resident nationwide. >> cheap labor not even a living wage i'm sure. can you live on $10 an hour? >> reporter: the new law means public and private sector workers don't have to pay union dues, while getting union representation. backers say it creates more jobs and gives workers more freedom. >> it is the principle that people should not be forced to join a union or any organization if they do not wish to. >> reporter: the demonstration did not die down even after lawmakers passed the legislation. [ screaming ] >> reporter: protestors swarmed rick snyder's office building tuesday demanding that he veto the bill. but the republican governor signed them into law. randall pinkston, cbs news, lansing, michigan. it's something we have heard again and again over the past four years. there just aren't enough job openings out there. >> i'm just floored that we're not deluged with people. >> why this job fair complete with the dancing bear may not be enough to staff one single bay area restaurant. >> and a sweet deal for anyone looking for holiday dungeness. who won and who lost in the great crab price dispute of 2012. [ laughter ] [ girl ] wow, you guys have it easy. i wish i had u-verse when i was your age. in my day, we didn't have these fancy wireless receivers. blah blah blah. if i had a sleepover, i couldn't just move the tv into the playroom. no. we had to watch movies in the den because that's where the tv outlet was. and if dad was snoring on the couch, we muscled through it. is she for real? your generation has it made.

burning here at the base of the rancho cucamonga area mountains. the fire is still burning. firefighters still trying to get a handle on this. it has been very difficult. the good news is no homes have been damaged in the fire as erratic and as difficult as this was to battle, firefighters managed to protect all of them. we had wind gusts out here between 60 and 80 miles per hour according to the u.s. forest service. so they were definitely having to contend with some conditions that are not typical here except for during the fall. right now, they are continuing to try to get a containment line around this fire. but it is very hard as the conditions out here remain a little gusty at times. so firefighters taking their time as they cannot use any aircraft because of the gusty winds, they

dissipate. but as kids began arriving at school, a decision was made. >> leaders made a decision that the smell was strong enough and the respiratory problems big enough that we closed school. >>

people are being hounded by debt collectors and most of those debts aren't even owed. it starts when collectors buy up old debt from a bank with little or inaccurate documentation. the center says debt collectors often make harassing phone cause and threat using abusive language and when those illegal tactics don't work they file a lawsuit legally. now, consumers often don't show up in court because they never got a notice or can't afford representation. so the debt collectors win the judgment and can legally free the bank account garnish wages or report to a credit agency. the center for

[ laughter ] >> there are two other game 7s tonight in the nhl. first flyers and the rangers. daniel car sill low who was a healthy scratch in game 6 gets new york on the board and they beat the flyers 2-1 to advance to the second round where they will face the penguins. to the nba now. the warriors hope to play in game 7 of their own this weekend but first they will need to take care of game 6. the clippers beat the warriors last night to take a 3-2 series lead. and nobody had a bigger bounce- back game than deandre jordan. the l.a. center who was scoreless in game 4's blowout loss set a new play-off career high with 25 points and 18 rebounds. >> he called me or text me right after, you know, we got back to l.a. and said that that wasn't me and i will be back. and i didn't know he meant "that." but, uhm, i'm going to make sure he texts me tonight. you know, that would be great. >> i look at it if we tighten up the mistakes that we made, uhm, and we like the clippers we are one, one game away, one win away from forcing game 7. to the diamond. a's pitcher aj griffin will miss the rest of the year after tommy john surgery earlier today. griffin has been sidelined since the end of spring training and joins derek parker on the shelf with season ending injuries. now, an odd story for this wednesday. florida state quarterback james winston was caught stealing crab legs from a store. he also plays baseball from the seminoles. he is suspended indefinitely from the team. the jersey may be different but the name on the back is still the same for donte whitner the former 49er safety who signed with the browns in off season has decided against legally changing his name to donte hitner. >> i didn't want to go through changing like credit cards and mortgages and cars and -- they want me to do all this stuff. i can't sign all this paperwork again. >> but you considered it. i considered it until he told me i had to go through so many documents and sign all these papers and change everything off for one letter change, rather not. >> it's easier to stay as whitner. a historical note for you. it was 20 years ago today that jamie baker scored the game winning goal for the sharks in game 7 against the detroit red wings and so in this case, the sharks are hoping that history repeats itself again this time against the l.a. kings. reporting live at the s.a.p. center, andrea nakano, back to you. >> all right. very important game. >> one of those games where a win erases everything bad instantly. >> got to the do it. sending good vibes. for news throughout the evening the latest news and weather are always on our website, kpix.com. and on our facebook page. >> our next newscast at 10:00 on the cw, cw 44/cable 12. check us out there. and you can see us right back here on kpix 5 at 11:00. facebook anytime. you can tweet us anytime. we'll tweet you back. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com i was told there would be cake. get a free quote at progressive.com.

immoral or wrong or unethical protected. >> reporter: senator leland yee was the only public official arrested. he was indicted on charges including firearms trafficking and wire fraud. the government used wiretap body wires and surveillance cameras to gather thousands of hours of evidence against yee, chow and 25 other defendants. government prosecutors asked for the protective order to protect the undercover agents and also said evidence improperly disclosed could be used to besmirch otherwise innocent individuals. the judge agreed and his gag order wrote, such disclosure risks not only bodily harm to undercover agents but reputational harm to individuals who would be collateral damage. in the case of public officials, there is also a risk of unfairly undermining their abilities to govern. >> so what is there? i mean, we have a right the -- public has a right to know who did what, which political officials did what, before they get elected in november whether it rose to the level of criminal activity or not, why shouldn't the public know who was trying to make deals behind the scenes? who was trying to do things under the table? >> reporter: ciao remains in federal custody tonight. his attorneys say they will appeal to the courts for a bail hearing in the coming weeks. reporting live in san francisco, linda yee, kpix 5. >> the u.s. attorney's office will not comment on the accusations or the case. traffic tonight absolutely crawling out of the east bay. this backup has been going on for hours along the eastshore freeway on all routes leading toward the macarthur maze and the gridlock seems to stretch on for miles. there are really a couple of things going on here. the first problem happened this morning. a glitch in the software that controls the metering lights of the bay bridge. caltrans traced that problem to the control cabinet that relays signals to its management center. that was fixed by lunchtime but the damage to the commute had already been done. traffic has not been able to recover. >> awful. about an hour longer than usual. >> what do you think it's caused way? >> three-day weekend and idiots. >> there was a problem in the controller cabinet and normally what happens is that the metering lights for the carpool lane aren't active during commute hours. today for some reason, they came on during commute hours. >> the second issue tonight is the closure of a stretch of southbound 280 in san francisco. we have been talking about that for a couple of days. here's the results of that. you can see from chopper 5 traffic backed up on san francisco streets. drivers trying to find a way to southbound 101 so they can get out of san francisco. >> here's the overview of the 280 closure. three of the downtown on-ramps closed, the southbound lanes of the freeway shut down to the pennsylvania on-ramp. kpix 5's da lin is in the middle of it. there are some very frustrated drivers. >> reporter: indeed. a lot of frustrated drivers. we're near -- we're standing near the entrance of southbound 280 which is of course closed and that's why these cars are being detoured to other parts of the city and that's creating quite a bit of traffic problems for the city of san francisco. we're standing near the -- at the corner of 4th and king streets. that's at at&t park. those cars that you see back there, they stretch all the way back into the financial district. driving in san francisco is a challenge on any day. but when you close down a major freeway, this is the result. [ beep beep ] >> traffic has been horrible all day. >> it was overwhelming, stressful. >> i'm always frustrated in traffic. so this isn't helping. >> i saw a guy get out of his car and go up to the window of another driver and start tapping his window like he wanted to fight him. >> reporter: many drivers say it would have been faster to just walk. >> 6th street just to come over to 10th took me 30 minutes. 30 minutes for four blocks. >> reporter: a caltrans spokesman says about 140,000 cars use highway 280 on a typical weekday. detouring all those cars means everybody suffers. >> traffic was terrible. >> reporter: terrible. >> terrible! i mean, i almost ran out of gas! >> reporter: caltrans is sympathetic but says they need to shut down a stretch of the southbound lanes so they can make the freeway seismically safe. >> there's no good time to shut down the freeway, obviously? >> so all you can do is look for the least bad time. >> reporter: caltrans admits this is not the best weekend either. you got the giants baseball game happening tonight at at&t park. and two more games this weekend. here's a look at 4th street and, in fact, they have some officers around here to make sure things are in order at this point. live in san francisco, i'm da lin, kpix 5. we brought in the big gun tonight. elizabeth wenger is tracking the gridlock. elizabeth, get us home. >> i have to say though eastbound traffic, northbound 101, some of those areas have cleared up. but let's go to the problem spot. chopper 5 continues to fly over berkeley and the eastshore freeway jammed solid from cutting all the way straight down the macarthur maze. you can see those speeds are really slow. i looked at the drive times about 15 minutes on westbound 80 from the carquinez bridge to the maze, 50 minutes. let's go to the maps and show you what he is going on on the road sensors. it's jammed up on the westbound 580 approach to the bay bridge. looks solid from at least grand avenue. here's a little bit of clearing, a little bit of a bright spot. at the bay bridge toll plaza, fastrak lanes have cleared up but heavy across the span kind of from end to end. southbound 280 is shut down from king to mariposa closed for the long holiday weekend. use the cesar chavez on-ramp to get to 280. a lot of city streets south of market, sixth, bird, brannon, all those city streets in san francisco are tied up as well for drivers trying to get on 101 instead. a quick look at the south bay another problem spot, southbound 17 heading to the santa cruz mountains, extra slow because of an accident. eastbound highway 4 still a mess in antioch. use bart. everything is on time. that's the also from the "kcbs traffic" center. back to you. >> thank you. now for a live look at the golden gate bridge where come next year, things will look a whole lot different. the bridge's district board just gave contractors the green light to install a $30 million steel and concrete barrier in the median. the movable barrier will replace the yellow pylons that currently divide traffic on the bridge. it's designed to prevent head- on collisions. crews will close the bridge and install the barrier during a slow weekend in january. >> it will be much better situation and give driver better confidence while driving across the bridge to have a physical division between two bounds of traffic. so it's basically safety movement. >> meanwhile bridge directors are also moving forward with a plan to install a suicide barrier on the bridge. the net would be located about 20 feet below the sidewalk and wouldn't be too noticeable. the district hopes to get all funding in place by next month. some surprising new results in an exclusive kpix 5/surveyusa poll. we took a look at the hotly contested race for congress in the 17th district and found ro khanna has a lot of catching up to do if he wants to beat the incumbent mike honda. our len ramirez has more on the poll results from the south bay. >> reporter: these are the silicon valley neighborhoods where this battle is being fought. and as you mentioned, it is a very tough battle. a very expensive battle, as well. ro khanna has already spent $2.7 million that is twice what mr. honda has spent so far. mr. honda still has a lead over all of his challengers including mr. khanna. congressional canada ro khanna campaigned in sunnyvale today knocking on the doors of likely silicon valley voters. >> hi, i'm ro khanna running to represent you in the united states congress. >> reporter: taking on a seven- term incumbent like mike honda was never going to be easy. now he knows how hard. our exclusive poll shows mike honda in a commanding position. he has a 40% to 21% advantage over khanna. his biggest challenger and a fellow democrat. republicans are 8 and 6% about your 24% of the voters polled are still undecided. >> anyone who knows this will tell you that with many undecided an incumbent well below 50% he is vulnerable and that's why he is one of the ten most likely incumbent to lose on roll call and when you go on the doors you see it. people want change. >> reporter: congressman honda was flying back from washington and not available for comment. but at a news conference last month, honda looked and sounded confident. >> i have been working. campaigning and working. mostly working. >> okay. >> that's what i'm in congress for, right? >> reporter: his campaign seems even more confident releasing a statement saying, this poll shows that voters overwhelmingly prefer congressman honda and want him to continue his record of delivering for the district. mike honda has a strong 40% in a four-way primary race while ro khanna has squandered what was once a 1.3 million advantage last year to barely get half the support that congressman honda has." khanna says he hasn't squandered anything building up from just 3% a year ago. >> it's more spin from -- instead of being willing to offer a concrete vision on the economy and i spent my time talking about here's my jobs plan, they are running a campaign run by political operatives from d.c. not debating, not engaging in the issues. >> reporter: late this afternoon, the top republican in this race, dr. vanilla singh disputed the poll saying it doesn't reflect their campaign polls and says they continuing to build momentum. she will have to build it fast because only two candidates are going to advance to the runoff in november and it looks like it will be honda and khanna according to our poll. reporting live in sunnyvale, len ramirez, kpix 5. >> we'll find out who is right. the primary election is coming up on june 3. he was involved in a deathly shooting after the boston marathon bombings. tonight why that fbi agent is now at the center of a bay area investigation. >> why twitter is sending people on a scavenger hunt around the bay area today. >> it is warm in danville. it's cloudy at the coast. i know temperatures are much cooler in the city. but warm inland. will this beautiful warm weather stick around for the entire holiday weekend? i'll have the answer coming up next. >> and tonight some sour news about cherries. ,, female narrator: through monday, get 36 months through monday, get 36 months interest-free financing and save up to $400 on beautyrest and posturepedic. even get three years interest-free financing on serta icomfort and tempur-pedic, but this special financing offer ends memorial day at sleep train. a santa clar a notorious serial rapist is going to be released. a santa clara county judge ruled today christopher hubbard can live in a los angeles county suburb. as we found, neighbors are angry and scared. >> i heard the news. i broke down crying and shaking and i'm still shaking. >> reporter: cheryl lived just five miles from convicted serial rapist christopher hubbard's new home. a santa clara judge announced this morning that hubbard, who has admitted to raping more than 40 women, will be released in the next 45 days. >> very concerned and worried because this evil man, the judge wouldn't listen to us when we went to san jose. >> reporter: hubbard served multiple sentences for heinous crimes against women. he was paroled in 1990 but arrested just two months later after attacking yet another victim. after his sentence ran out in 1996, hubbard was placed in a state mental hospital. mental health officials have now deemed the 63-year-old fit for release. news that doesn't sit well with women in the neighborhood. >> no one is going to be able to sleep. no one is going to be able to live comfortably anymore because of this. >> reporter: the ladies of lake l.a. have been fighting for months to keep him away just 17 miles from town. local and state officials have expressed extreme concern over hubbard's release but only two sheriffs patrolling lake los angeles during the day, the d.a. says other security measures like 24-hour gps monitoring and private security guards will be implemented to keep the community as safe as possible. but it's not enough for the women who live just miles from someone they say can only be described as a monster. >> he will attack again. and he is not going to leave any witnesses behind next time. >> reporter: hubbard is set to move into this neighborhood in the next 45 days. but residents here say they will continue to fight this judge's decision and they say they are prepared to take their security into their own hands if need be. reporting near palmdale, adriana weingold, kpix 5. >> hub bashed's last conviction was in santa clara county. that's why a judge there is overseeing the decision to release hubbard. an ex-bay area cop turned fbi agent is under investigation tonight. a boston newspaper just uncovered aaron mcfarland has checked more than a half million dollars -- checked more than a half million dollars in disability from the city of oakland breaking his ankle on the job 10 years ago. oakland city leaders say fraud is difficult to enforce. he left oakland with a violent track record and was sued for abuse twice! no word on how he even got hired by the fbi. >> why the fbi as the premiere law enforcement agent in the country has to reach that low into the barrel for recruits among probably a lot of qualified applicants. >> just last week, mcfarland was identified as the agent who shot and killed a friend of the boston bombing suspects in florida last may. bart is going digital. the transit agency will start converting dozens of posters ads in three downtown san francisco stations into 17 digital screens. they will show a mix of ads, news, weather and bart-related messages. this comes after a successful pilot program at the montgomery station that kicked off last month. look for new screens starting in december at the montgomery powell street and embarcadero stations. it's a sweet time of the year in the bay area. cherry season has arrived. don't blink. you might miss it. >> these cherries here look fantastic. >> reporter: chuck and sandy schultz were hard at work on the opening day of cherry season. >> they're huge. >> reporter: but this visit was a preemptive strike. >> it will probably be gone after the weekend. >> reporter: because this year, it's not a question of quality. >> they're delicious! >> reporter: it's a crisis of quantity. >> cherries are great. >> reporter: just not many of them. >> not many of 'em. >> reporter: this man's family has been in the cherry business since the 1950s. but the past two years have been a struggle at seiko ranch. >> the trees didn't -- at seko ranch. >> the trees didn't produce because of rain and cold. we had no fog which keeps the trees moist. >> reporter: little rain, no fog and a brutally warm stretch in january. >> they should have had full leaves. >> reporter: jump on one of the ladders and you can see the extent of the damage. >> these should have been cherries or leaves and the sun just burned them. >> reporter: add it all up and the toll is a costly one. >> i had an appraiser out here the other day. he picked eight trees and averaged 5 pounds a tree and they should average couple of hundred. >> reporter: there are so few cherries on these trees that it wasn't even worth the labor cost of commercial picking. >> oh, almost. >> reporter: so what is here is yours for the taking. >> we'll be open at 8 a.m. >> reporter: just don't expect it to last long. >> well, as you might expect prices run as well but more importantly, the short supply means some farms are not even opening this year. so before you put the kids in the car, call ahead. our mobile weather lab and paul deanno are out in danville tonight kicking off what's going to be a gorgeous holiday weekend. >> reporter: this weekend is perfect because you're going to be able to pick your climate. you want it cool and cloudy, go to the beach. warmer come inland. right in the middle head to oakland, hayward,

system. the similar windmill sits below a bird's normal flight path. the new devices hyenas be easier for the birds to see compared to the blades on the existing turbines. >> get really going, they spin fast. and birds don't see that because they are diving in or flying by. and they just don't see the area of the turbine and smack into it. >> an independent researcher will track the number of bird deaths for at least a year to see if the design does in fact decrease bird deaths. a twitter account is creating a buzz tonight sending people on a scavenger hunt for money. cold, hard cash.

a business. so we create jobs and opportunity for all californians. what should we order? (announcer) alex padilla. secretary of state. i want you to know stuff i want you to be kind. i want you to be smart. super smart. i want one thing in a doctor. i want you to be handsome. i want you to be awesome. i don't want you to look at the chart before you say hi...david. i want you to return my emails. i want you to keep me doing this for another sixty years. at kaiser permanente, we want you to choose the doctor that's right for you. find your perfect match at kp.org and thrive. no matter how many times brs are cleaned up: the graffiti always seems to co back. but now: an intimidating new tactic, to battle t now at 6:30, no mattered how many times bridges are cleaned up the graffiti always seems to come back. now an intimidating new tactic to battle the taggers. tonight vandals in san jose are running into sharp opposition. here's kiet do in a story you'll only see on kpix 5. >> reporter: the bay area's ugliest bridge just got a face- lift with a fresh coat of paint. it looks decent for now. but graffiti is creeping in and taggers will be back with a vengeance. since we first reported on the train overcrossing at 13th street and 101 a year ago it's been the same thing: repaint, tag, repeat. but why? the answer may be here. at the cal freezing rain bridge above 280 -- tow caltrain bridge above 280 and bird avenue. last year the tag rip tommy stayed on the green bridge for months but now it's been a year and it is spotless. what's going on? of the 40-something bridges that caltrain owns, this one is the most secure and most fortified of them all making it the fort knox of railroad bridges. that's because there's not just one or two but three fences to climb each one riskier than the last. >> we're hoping that this is a significant disincentive for anyone who might be looking to become a graffiti artist. >> reporter: that beefy third fence is key in keeping taggers off the catwalk. compare it to the first bridge and you can see how taggers get around that short stubby fence with barbed wire. >> show you how to climb a barbed wire fence. >> reporter: youtube has dozens of videos to show you how easy it is to jump over barbed wire fences. but razor wire doesn't work like that. there's nowhere to grab. even if you do manage to do that, because the raiser wire -- because the razor wire is loose, it increases the risk of getting cut. perhaps most importantly, razor wire, it just looks scary! the 13th street bridge has no razor wire. while caltrain has doubled down. >> so far, it's been successful and we hope that it continues to be successful. >> reporter: caltrain says it's taken years of trial and error and more than $50,000. councilmember sam liccardo helped organize last year's clean-up of the ugliest bridge. do you support razor wire? [ laughter ] >> do i support --i support any solution that keeps, uhm, uhm, kids with too much testosterone off those bridges. >> reporter: kiet do, kpix 5. >> so why is it so complicated to clean up those bridges? kiet tells us it's because a lot of agencies are involved. you got caltrans, caltrain, you got the chp, you got the city of san jose. union pacific railroad. they are all looking at each other and no one is taking the leadership role. a major development in the donald sterling scandal. he has reportedly surrendered control of the l.a. clippers to his estranged wife. and cbs reporter randy paige says a sale is now in the works. >> reporter: according to a source familiar with the developments, donald sterling has agreed to sign over his interest in the team to his wife shelly. according to this source, shelly sterling will control the terms of a voluntary sale. the headline, it appears the sterlings are prepared to sell the los angeles clippers. >> i think it's a big day for the nba. obviously, they were facing the specter of a big legal battle by shelly sterling, donald sterling, over the control and sale of the team. now it looks like they got their move and they can facilitate a transfer, sale of the team much more efficiently. >> reporter: the sports law attorney and professor at southwestern university. >> the nba got what they wanted. first no one wins by a protracted legal battle. certainly the owners of the clippers don't win if there's force to sell the team after a long legal battle and they look even worse in public opinion. so the nba gets today a resolution. >> reporter: several experts we have consulted including the professor say donald sterling's decision to give his wife control over the sale of the team has little impact on the outcome. >> his decision to make shelly sterling to be the controlling partner is window dressing. >> reporter: saying he is trying to be less visible in the process of finding a buyer and selling his team. >> what he is doing is he is leaving himself out of the process so that no one will object to the -- to shelly sterling being involved in the sale because of donald sterling's statements. >> reporter: will his racist comments impact the amount of money the sale of the team will bring? >> no one is getting the clippers for a fire sale. >> reporter: the lawyer who represented professional teams and their owners says the sterlings stand to make a big profit on the sale considering they bought the team for $12 million. >> i think it's worth obviously north of $800 million. i mean, it even is exceeding $1 billion and over $1 billion would not surprise me. it's like anything. you know, getting an nba team to those who see the potential on marketing it and owning it for ego -- for even ego purposes can drive the value to unforeseen heights. >> reporter: and the nba responded to today's developments by saying it continues the process for termination of the current owners, the sterlings, and a hearing is set on the matter fo june 3. it has been double blow for drivers today for the getaway weekend. in the east bay we have been watching traffic crawl for several hours on the eastshore freeway and at the maze . it all started this morning with a metering lights problem at the bay bridge and the 280 closure in san francisco. drivers have been weaving through city streets as they try to find a way out south. highway 101 the only option for the next several days and it is still slow going. >> there's a look at what's closed on southbound 280. every on-ramp from king street to mariposa is shut down. the closure itself extending to pennsylvania avenue. the bay bridge toll plaza has been at the center of this mess. the metering lights problem i mentioned was fixed by noon but traffic has not let up. usually there would be a break during the day, but it has been jammed since this morning. >> elizabeth wenger is keeping an eye on several messes going on today. elizabeth? >> you mentioned that double blow? we have a triple blow about to begin. we have a giants game kicking off shortly after 7:00. so let's go out check out the city streets around san francisco. specifically by the ballpark at 4th and king. it is a mess. extra nasty right now and you can see traffic trying to detour around that 280 closure. so they are heading to 3rd, to 6th. it's pretty much backed up from the financial district and all around streets south of market trying to get on to the skyway and get on to southbound 101 from there. here's the culprit. it's all that roadwork that you just showed with the southbound 280 closure, closed from king down to mariposa. they are taking out the hinges to make them more safer for the -- safer for the next big earthquake. we can show you what it looks like now at the bay bridge. that other issue that we didn't anticipate, we knew about the 280 closure but never expected the metering lights to be busted this morning. we have seen the delays ever since never really quite let up. finally seeing some release at least in the fastrak -- some relief at least in the fastrak lanes. but the time is 52 minutes. here's a live look at some of the approaches on our sensors still really heavy from richmond down into berkeley. also 580 really kind of a mess right now in oakland trying to get on to the bay bridge. a bright spot, 880 the nimitz in oakland, actually surprisingly no delay right now southbound heading past the oaklan -- past the oakland coliseum. take mass transit or stay home.

obstructing the federal investigation into the deadly san bruno pipeline explosion. elizabeth cook standing by in the newsroom with all the details for us. >> reporter: the indictment also includes 27 counts of violating the natural gas pipeline safety act. it alleges that at the time of the blast, the utility was operating under an unapproved draft policy for addressing pipeline problems. and as a result, it failed to prioritize or properly assess many older high risk pipelines. the 2010 explosion killed 8 people and destroyed 38 homes. the indictment also accuses pg&e of failing to address recordkeeping problems despite knowing they were inaccurate or incomplete. each charge carries a minimum of $500,000 fines but those penalties could end up being substantially higher. now, in a statement, pg&e says it has not yet seen the indictment but said, quote, based on all of the evidence we have seen to date, we don't believe the charges are warranted. and that even where mistakes were made, employees were acting in good faith to provide customers with safe reliable energy. now, pg&e is scheduled to appear in court to answer to the charges on august 18. of course, we'll be

started around 3:30 this afternoon and it has been this powerful ever since. one of the biggest concerns here is the width of the sinkhole as the strong rush of water digs deeper underground. firefighters can barely stand up against the river of all of that water just pushing down the street. they have rescued at least three stranded drivers. pretty amazing because you can also see images of cars that are stuck in all of this water. several agencies are on the scene right now including the county swift-water rescue. the damage of this water main break is extensive. it has flooded much of the north part of the campus. you can see images right here. students have been wading through water that is knee deep and it is rising. like i said, just seconds ago, dozens of cars stranded, a bus stranded. most of this athletic field also covered by water. it's flooding a large underground parking structure on campus that you're looking at where cars there are presumably submerged. we are

the people that leave do not actually live in the community. and so those people left. >> reporter: it's an exodus of workers and more keep putting in notice. but emergency room nurse maria doesn't blame them. >> we all have to feed our family. >> reporter: instead, maria and her nurses union blame hospital administrators because the hospital runs on an $18 million deficit a year. she also blames politicians for not stepping in to fix it. maria says the workers left are digging in their heels. >> the nurses and the doctors are saying, look, administration, look, contra costa county, we are going to stay and you need to find a solution. >> reporter: local leaders are scrambling to save the hospital. one long shot idea the union is floating is to have chevron pay $27 million to keep the hospital alive as part of the richmond refinery's revitalization plan. >> so therefore richmond and the chevron workers should have a facility to come to might there be another explosion. >> reporter: these desperate times call for tough talk and last-ditch efforts. but hope and workers are dwindling by the day. if staff continues to leave at this pay, the emergency room might stop accepting ambulances as soon as next month. live in san pablo, i'm ryan takeo, kpix 5. >> also administrators say they are always in the red because 90% of their patients have no insurance or using

winemakers say they got lucky. >> but for this year we dodged a bullet. >> reporter: they say well timed spring rain means this will be an average or even above average season. >> grapevines can actually do very well even in very low water and you just have to give them the right amount of water at the right time. >> reporter: this year's harvest started today. that's earlier than normal. >> an average year would be mid- august for the first rains. >> reporter: the workers picked 15 tons of grapes this morning. what's on this conveyor belt will eventually become sparkling wine. not all varietals are ready. in mum's lab this machine tests the fruit's acidity. these chardonnay grapes won't be ready for a couple of weeks. >> you can't go forever if you never get water you end up in desert conditions. >> reporter: these same vines will have to yield grapes next year as well and growers might not be as lucky as this year. >> we need a rainy winter this year and for a few years in a row actually because in the long term we're still in a drought. >> reporter: of course, the big question, will we taste the difference? winemakers say no. of course they do. we won't be able to taste for ourselves, though, until 2 or 3 years when we'll be able to taste what they have picked today in bottles. live in napa valley, i'm ryan takeo, kpix 5. >> we'll wait and see. still ahead, it's where you stock up on toilet paper and other essentials. >> yeah. and the big box stores could soon be dinosaurs. the early warning signs and how the stores are trying to keep up. >> reporter: some of the best little league baseball teams on planet earth are converging on livermore. we'll talk about the intermediate little league world series and who is going to play later on tonight and i'll also have your weekend forecast coming up. >> and a thrill for bay area bird lovers. more than just a rare sighting. the species never-before-seen here in california until now. ,, woah, this kitchen is beautiful! give him the tour. let me show you! soft-close drawers, farm sink! where's my room?

you go to a store like walmart or costco and buy a big bundle like this? that's so old school. >> i'm 31 years old. and i don't often go to big box stores. >> reporter: liz gaines is one of the reasons goldman sachs cut their rating of walmart. big box stores like walmart and target are in decline. target profits down 16%, walmart sales off too. >> what consumers say that they really want is what they want when they want it. >> reporter: and for younger people like liz, a writer at read code website that, doesn't mean getting in the car and driving somewhere. she phones it in. >> if you think of the phone as some people called it the remote control for the world, you summon whatever you want to get to you, summon toilet paper. >> reporter: amazon is the big boy $60 billion in web sales last year but liz today uses google shopping express which for the time being has free delivery. >> click on toilet paper, i have options of scott 1,000 bathroom tissue to unscented 20 rolls. >> reporter: it's rated 4.5 out of 5, good quality says a review, strong when wet, cheap as a big box. >> they can deliver it today anytime or i can say specifically i want it at a certain time like between -- after 6:00 i'm home from work. >> reporter: out of toothpaste for the morning? order it to be delivered before you brush again at night. >> walmart is still the biggest. they are absolutely satisfying consumer needs but looking forward you can see that amazon is much more in tune with what consumers are saying they want. >> reporter: walmart and other big boxes are slowly ramping up their online service wanting to avoid being wiped. mike sugerman, kpix 5. >> this is how big the gap s walmart did about $10 billion in online sales last year almost $60 billion less than amazon. could sacramento's summer heat be a boom for the the city of oakland? the oakland visitors bureau thinks yes, it could. their new campaign, summer is cool in oakland. it's aimed at valley residents suffering through 100-degree days. the bureau targeted sacramento after market research revealed that people might be willing to make the drive to cool off. an added draw? august and september are festival seasons in oakland. more proof that brown is the new green during this drought. the green roofs at the leland stanford mansion in sacramento isn't looking so vibrant these days. neither is the lawn. visitors say they don't mind if it means saving water. the mansion is just one of several federally owned buildings making that transition. new at 6:00 the gleneagles golf course in san francisco will stay open for another month while it negotiates a lease with the city. the golf course operator is expected to close up tomorrow if a deal wasn't reached but it looks like the lease will be extended until august 31. the san francisco recreation and parks department says it will allow for more time to reach an agreement. the beach at shadow cliffs park a mile from downtown pleasanton reopened today. it was closed nearly a week because of high levels of e. coli bacteria in the water. district officials say they will continue to test the water just to be safe. it's a hot ticket in livermore, arizona versus west virginia until the intermediate little league world series and paul deanno is live where some very excited kids are warming up and i do mean warming up. >> reporter: yeah. the warming up is not a hard thing to do out here with a high today of 99 in livermore. standing on the field we are in between baseball games. they have been playing four games a day game number 3 just wrapped up. puerto rico 17 and the czech republic only had 2 runs ending after 6 innings. so we are doing some field prep right here and that hose that water is the only water you will see anywhere anytime soon because we have dry conditions continuing but a great night for baseball albeit a little bit warm out here. the intermediate little league world series is one year older than the world series you see played in williamsport, pennsylvania. these kids are older and 70 feet between each base and kids are skilled. we are going to have a game coming up between west virginia and the nogales, arizona, at 7:00 tonight. high temperatures today we had a 40-degree temperature spread once again. brentwood 101. pacifica 62. file that one in the only in the bay area with a 40-degree temperature spread. fog coming in through the golden gate. san francisco 67. san rafael high today 84. livermore 99 degrees. kpix 5 hi-def doppler radar showing more thunderstorms over the sierra. we could use the rainfall there. not the best for folks vacationing up in tahoe but any rain is welcome rain. around. it is raining in the higher elevations. we have the sonoma county fair starting to. in santa rosa. should be sunny, wear a hat sunny all day long. 88 degrees. big ridge of high pressure in place blocking that tropical moisture from making it to the bay area. it is in nevada, arizona and new mexico. it will stay east of us. we keep the sunshine and wide temperature spread. 60s once again along the coast. 69 tomorrow in san francisco. but 90 for napa. livermore 98 and fairfield 96 degrees. we stay hot away from the water through saturday. since the heat wave has been about a week-long already, it will last three more days. near the bay cooler mid- to upper 70s with morning cloud cover and foggy at the coast with highs in the 60s. we'll see some relief for you folks living in inland locations beginning on sunday. and then upper 80s low 90s for the first half of next week. so 7:00 first pitch. we have arizona versus west virginia. kind of cool that the best 13- year-old baseball teams from around the entire world are here this week in the bay area in livermore playing some baseball and we do have a local team one from san ramon, they lost last night. they are still in it. but now they are in the losers bracket. we'll cheer them on tomorrow. live in livermore baseball time, paul deanno, back to you. >> fantastic. great little athletes. thanks, paul. a very strange sight in the skies over half moon bay. but it wasn't a ufo. kpix 5's don ford shows us it is just about as unusual. >> reporter: 25 miles off the coast of half moon bay, a group of birdwatchers aboard the vessel hooley cat discovered something that stunned the bird world. it isn't supposed to be here. this type of albatross has never been seen in california that we know of forever. it's from the southern hemisphere. >> reporter: adults can weigh up to 10 pounds and with a wingspan of over feet, it can travel great distance. hatching in new zealand, sometimes they cross the pacific ocean to the coast of south america. this one crossed the equator, too, and made it to california. >> and they're very excited, very excited bird. >> reporter: this gets you more excited?

repairs we need the water even more shut off. >> reporter: the general manager jim mcdaniel says crews are unable to make repairs as long as water continues to leak into the large crater left behind by yesterday's main line rupture. the reason? ancient pipes and valves. >> just like the pipe is 90- plus years old, the valves that shut off the pipe are also 90- plus years old. they don't always work as they are intended to. >> reporter: this is how it all started. it was 3:30 yesterday afternoon when a 30" pain line that was placed -- main line that was placed under what is now sunset boulevard in 1921 ruptured sending hundreds of thousands of gallons of water more than 30 feet in the air. it took 3 1/2 hours to turn the geyser into a trickle and in the meantime, drivers found their cars up to the wheel wells in water, four buildings at ucla taking the brunt of the flood. the hardwood floor at the pauley pavilion severely damaged. many cars in nearby parking structures soaked in floodwaters. one photographer captured this moment as a woman jumped to safety over rising floodwaters. and today, 24 hours later, water continued to flow into the massive hole left behind by the rupture. best case, another 48 hours before the rupture is repaired. >> wow. more than 7:00 cars some completely submerged in parking structures on ucla's campus. a majority of those will never

completely to the top. needless to say, the damage will be extensive. >> i ran outside and just saw the river of water just flowing down into the parking lot. >> this is a lot of damage to -- to our

challenges. california's health insurance exchange is celebrating some successes but it's also facing new challenges. kpix 5 consumerwatch reporter julie watts is here with a first-ever "covered california" report card. >> reporter: we have told you about problems with "covered california" policies but the headline for new reports is pretty positive. the number of californians without insurance is down dramatically. according to a study by the kaiser family foundation, nearly 60% of californians who did not have insurance before obamacare are now covered. and a vast majority of those people hadn't had coverage in two or more years. but the report did find a disconnect between what people expect insurance will cost and the actual price of the plans. it also predicts that getting those holdouts to sign up will remain a challenge. the next open enrollment period is november 15. and uber is fixing a loophole tonight that we exposed yesterday which allows some of the drivers to cheat others out of lucrative fares. uber drivers have been hacking the uber application to make it app their vehicles are closer to airports than other fares. the huge unfair advantage because uber automatically assigns fares to the car closest to a location. today uber said that any driver that manipulates the app to their advantage is history. it also says it will provide refunds to uber passengers picked up by uber drivers who cheated. and car issues are topping the list of consumer complaints in year. a new survey finds americans are fed up with everything from faulty repairs to misleading ads and towing. number 2 on the list, problems with home improvements and construction followed by credit and billing disputes. now, while those are the top three, the fastest growing category are complaints about telemarketing and violations of the do not call registry and no, we don't have a fix for that. if you have a consumer complaint, head to kpix.com or send us an email. you know, we get so many complaints about the "do not call" list, how are they still doing this? why aren't they cracking down? the honest answer is because most of these folks are overseas and the fbi, the irs, all the people who are being spoofed, they can't find them. >> was that a kpix 5 list you compiled or -- >> reporter: a consumerwatch watchdog group put that list together. >> thank you. here's a way to start your day. a french toast that packs almost 3,000 calories is offered by the cheesecake factory. it's called bruleed french toast and it weighs in at 2700 calories. a little

always a hot one. and first, let's look at the weather forecast and that is cool this morning. a live look from the roof cam, a bay bridge and a few clouds and this is not a spare the air day. 52 in san francisco; 36, santa rosa and we're going to see another warm day around the bay area and that pattern will continue into next week and then we have some changes. even the possibility of a rain shower and that is good news. we'll have more details in a few minutes. mark. anne, developing news in the south bay. police at san jose state are investigating two reported incidents of sexual battery on campus. in both cases, a man rode a bicycle behind the victims and touched them in an inappropriate way. the first happened at 6:55 last night in front of the evens and recreation center and the second occurred at 9:20 near the hoover hall dormitory. the suspect is between 20 and 30 years old and was wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt. oakland police are intensifying their search for a teen considered armed and dangerous. the reward for 14-year-old mario tolliver jr. is $10,000. he's accused of fatally shooting his 17-year-old sister in this oakland apartment. the surveillance video shows the boy running out of the apartment with a gun in his hand on thursday. the boy's described as armed and dangerous because police have not found the weapons. new this morning, bits and pieces of information continue to surface about hue a b.a.r.t. police officer fatally shot a colleague. the spokesperson for the agency leading the investigation held recent reports inaccurate. i spoke with alameda county spokesperson j.d. nelson this morning on the phone. he told me several news agencies have been releasing missed information. in today's edition of the san francisco chronicle, a report said the b.a.r.t. officer mistakenly thought a supervisor was an armed suspect before opening fire. the chronicle said that investigators did not consider the shooting of tommy smith to be the result of an accidental gun discharge. again, those reports refuted by the spokesperson for the lead agency. the officers were in plain clothes and they were searching the apartment of a robbery suspect who was already in custody. another senate hearing is scheduled for next month on what went wrong during the construction of the eastern span -- span of the bay bridge. >> in the first hearing, a whistleblower said that caltranstried to quiet safety concerns during the construction and on friday, mike morgan told state lawmakers his supervisors covered up structural problems. a project official told an engineer not to write document concerns but to voice them in caltranssaid it adds up to a difference of opinion and not a coverup. >> and after qualifications were discovered, it quickly became apparent to me that the problem was kept secret, ignored or covered up. >> i have no evidence or reason to believe there was any coercion or anything like that and bullying to make determinations. >> caltransclaimed the eastern response was structurally safe. coming up, we'll have our interview with state senator mark desonier, in charge of the committee who was leading the investigation. and he outright called them liars. >> and raised questions about the bridges he said cost runs could go up because of the questions of workmanship. we could be retrofitting that in a few years and spending more money. >> and that is not good. we'll have more later on in the broadcast. meantime, smith and wesson versus california. the major gun manufacturer is refusing to sell pistols in a state. nick james on what triggered the retreat. >> reporter: if you ask josh deser, california's too tough on guns already. >> this is smith and wesson mmp- 9. >> reporter: the sacramento gun shop owner said the newest regulation is more of the same. >> it creates problems for me and the manufacturer. >> reporter: smith and wesson announced it will stop selling new handgun models in california rather than comply with the new law. it requires new pistols to have a feature called microstamping. each time a gun is fired, it stamps a unique code on every bullet. in a news release, smith and wesson said a number of studies indicated that microstamping is unreliable, serves no safety purpose, cost prohibitive and is not proving to aid in preventing or solving crimes. >> responsible fire arms are not the problem. there being -- they're being constantly picked on because they don't like guns in california. >> reporter: on the other side of the debate, the law center to prevent gun violence, quote, smith and wesson creates the same hysterical reaction we come to expect from the gun lobbyef time a new safety standard is required by california law. it's not surprising the gun lobby is trying to use scare tactics to stop the implementation of the law, since they have done the same thing in the past. >> another large gun maker, ruger, will stop new sales to california. another group filed a lawsuit against the state over the microstamping law. safety adro sat -- advocates say the law will make the state safer. >> and that is always a big contentious debate on that in sacramento. interesting the governor didn't mention anything about gun safety in the state-of-the- state address. >> we have enough controversy to deal with. >> and this is a tough one. still a polarizing issue in california. coming up, recent fire, arson fires may lead to a new push to protect bay area communities. it starts with neighbors letting police where they couldn't go before. >> excitement building for tonight's grammy show live in l.a. and the bay area is home to some hopefuls. we'll tell you what to expect at the big show coming up. ,, ,, female announcer: it's

developing news in suburban baltimore. about an hour ago, the police identified a gunman in the deadly mall shooting as 19-year- old darian marcus aguilar. on saturday morning, shotgun blasts rang out on the upper level of the mall. officers arrived within two minutes of a 911 call and found three people dead, including aguilar. police say he shot a 25-year- old man and a 21-year-old womannality a skateboard shop and then killed himself. >> it was a really loud boom, boom. and then, then another, you know, boom, boom. >> i didn't want to get hurt. i didn't want to get shot, so i ran. >> some people ran out of the building while others hit an inventory room -- hid in inventory rooms or barricaded themselves behind locked doors. police are backing away from earlier reports that aguilar had explosives but they say he had a lot of ammunition. san jose police are crediting home surveillance videos for the capture of a convicted arsonist who terrorized the city's downtown strict this month. >> out of that ordeal is a new proposal to allow police to tap into the private security systems of residents if they allow it. >> and it could be the extra security that san jose's dwindling police force needs. but it's already raising privacy concerns. this is all the brain child of councilman sam who joining us now. how did you get into this? tapping into commercial and private security cameras around the city. >> phil, we had a lot of residents and business owners step forward during the time of the arson attacks to offer evident and to offer police identify and find the suspect and this is an opportunity used, simple technology to leverage that interest of residents to step forward to help make our city safer. >> and as it is, the police go and knock on doors and try to find cameras, especially in businesses. your proposal would allow home owners and businesses, what, to sign up free in advance with the police department to say we have this camera here and you can look at it when you want to? is that it? >> this is about creating a registry allowing the police to know where the cameras are. the police would still need to ask for permission to be able to utilize the videotape or the data and the important thing, they would have the information in advance, for instance, knowing if there was a robbery down the street and the suspect ran in front of the auto zone and they know how to get's hold of the auto zone manager for that tape. >> they would have a map saying there are six cameras in the area. go out there and so you wouldn't be wasting time. the other question becomes the cameras becoming more and more sophisticated and so is the technology around them. and would the police have the ability to tap in on them at live times? >> there is flow suggestion that we want police engaged in live surveillance. that is not what this is about. in every instance, it requires that there would be a crime that is committed or suspected crime. the police then reach out to a property owner and ask for permission in every instance. we're not altering the constitutional landscape of police access to this video. >> why the no? -- why not? right now, for example, in san francisco, the police chief said in big events or parades and emergency situations, he would love to have the ability to take an entire street and to watch it from one command center. you're not interested in doing that? >> that would save money as well. >> the reality is being able to monitor, even if you believe this is something you wanted in your community. monitoring a live feed requires a person as well and we're very short-staffed in our police department. and so dedicating police staff where even -- or even non-sworn staff to be monitoring folks is an expensive proposition, even if you believed it was something consistent with your views and liberties. >> okay, we have a question of whether we can afford to watch everyone all of the time and whether or not it's right to watch everyone all the time. where is your feeling on that? i mean if you have all of the cameras and we're being watched anyway, is it proper or improper for the police to be using them? >> fundamentally, we need to walk before we run and what this proposal is about is making it simpler for police to get critical evidence to identify suspects. not to engage in live surveillance. i think that is a battle we don't need to take on. we don't have the resources to engage in it anyway. >> okay, speaking of resources. philadelphia is using this and they have 600 cameras on file. they made 200 arrests as a result of this and you know, the public might sit there and skeptics my might say you get this and get the registries and everyone signed up. you get the feeling the cameras are out there and if the cops are not that to respond, it's like shop spotter or high-tech things we see that sound good, feel good, and don't necessarily work. >> and we're spending a lot of time knocking on doors trying to find folks with videotaped evidence when there is a crime nearby. as a former d.a., there are many cases where i have where the file lands on my desk three or four weeks when the crime is committed and we say is there any way to find videotape? there is a lot of time spent trying to go after the fact. >> there is a lot of juries in northern california say where is the video when there is a case that goes forward. or it can get people off because they, you're not on the video. >> and the csi affect on a lot of juries, they want technology. we should get out in front of this. >> all right, thank you for joining us this morning. back to you at the desk. and taking a look at the weather forecast 50 in san jose, 39 in fairfield and it's not a spare the air day, though. your highs today and we could see the possible records in places like san rafael, san jose and liver moore. we're going to see the warm pattern continue through the beginning of the workweek

four rotating stages. >> one. >> even after 34 years at the helm, executive producer ken earlick keeps fine tuning music's biggest night. >> what we really need to do is to continually re-invent ourselves to match what is going on in music. >> local group quartet san francisco has two compositions nominated for best instrumental tonight. one called california pictures, the other called funky diversion. >> i should play the lottery. what are the odds of pulling one grammy nomination. >> reporter: the odds are in their favor. winning is not as important as sharing the vibe. >> we really wanted to bring new music from the west coast to the rest of the world. >> reporter: laura sullivan from belmont is making a name for herself in the new age genre. her song "wishing from a dandelion" is from her grammy nominated album love's river. they produced the album from their home studio. >> this is my seventh album release and just thrilled to be honored with this nomination. it's very, very exciting. >> and just as excited as the artist, the fans. jane from alice radio can't wait for the big event. >> my favorite part, because i am such a fan at the heart of it all, is seeing the artists, people i love win, seeing them. and celebrate each other. it's cool to have them file in and one big room of all of the people you loved for see long. >> the grammies air tonight at 8:00 on

supercross tour and that is it. see you later. >> yeah. all right, spoiler alert if you have the australian open on your dvr and haven't watched it yet. there was an upset today. yrenka beat nadal in the final. six-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. and never even took a single set before from the top-ranked nadal. today, he attacked from the start. nadal hurt his back in the second set and continued playing after a medical tout. >> all right. -- medical timeout. and now to politics. the state-of-the-state address this week was clear. >> we're not out of the woods and we're not out of the drought. >> touching on the state's surplus, he reminded lawmakers it still owes over $100 billion for state worker pensions and healthcare. >> for many democrats and republicans, it was what he didn't talk about that got their attention. >> right, barely a mention of either high-speed rail or his plan to move our author irwater south. that is go we sat down with willie brown and carla from the san francisco -- and they said it could be a part of the governor's re-election strategy. >> jerry brown's done this speech more than any other governor in history now, and he's a guy who knows the tricks of the trade. give your message fiscal responsibility and stay away from all of the other things like new ideas and controversy that can muddle the message. >> carla, cabin nissom stole the show. >> imagine seven years ago, facebook didn't exist. twitter seven years ago was a sound. the cloud was in the sky. four-g was a parking space linked in i prison. big data was a rap star. pan pat -- apps were things you filled out to get into college and skype for most of us was a type-o. >> i can agree with you. >> literally, he was as glamorous as he can be and he was as witty and clever, and he was as relevant for the membership on the floor. and that is as jerwy was. back to the governor on his speech. it was interested and lawmakers noted what he didn't talk about, the high-speed rail or moving the water south. >> it was a campaign ruleout. he was saying experience matters, continuity matters, fiscal responsibility matters and let's not talk about the other stuff that can get in the way of my re-election. >> the kickoff campaign speech? >> of course, it was a kickoff campaign speech. by the way, he didn't have anything new to say about the two other subjects. the courts have nailed him on high-speed rail and the lord has taken water away from him, so he's in trouble. dialogue on those two, i don't blame him. i would have acted as if subject matters are done. >> and it's not what you're looking at going into a fourth on term. jerry brown wants that to be secure and he's -- why bring up high-speed rail when it looks like it's going to cost 10 times more. >> jerry brown is still seriously thinking about the presidency. >> wait a minute. he said it was not in the cards. >> well. are you kidding me? you don't believe him, do you? are you kidding me? he would run for the president tomorrow, if the opportunity presented itself and he's go going to position himself. so if the opportunity does present himself, he can do it. >> oh. >> always have to be thinking of the next set, right? >> i can't help it. i have the running joke with willie brown for months now. he insists and gets national attention every time he does it, that jerry brown is lining up to run for president. i can't help on to laugh at that. >> i can't imagine. as far as the gubernatorial run, that looks like a done deal. >> who was the last guy we had as governor? >> arnold schwarzenegger. >> i remember. i had a bet with my producer at the time. i said it was not going to happen. >> there we go. >> and we'll be right back. ,,,, i remember the moment clearly. -i'll never forget that moment. woman: as long as i live. man: i realized, at that moment, when we first saw the damage, these people really needed us and i was going to make a difference, right here in my community. together with local responders, we cleared trees and collapsed walls. we had to get to the family trapped beneath. as a citizen-soldier, i made a difference. announcer: be there for your community, at

>> i don't believe them. i think they're lying. >> it's simple as that? >> we're halfway through the investigation and we're going to bursue it. if you listen -- pursue it. if you listen to the testimony, three caltrans employees and one very well-respected expert from a contractor in charge of quality insurance. if you listen to the response from caltrans, it was pretty clear to me they were lying. >> this is about welds on the bridge. the bridge was fabricated in china. and going in from the onset, it was -- there was debates about the work being done. would you have had those specs written out in advance and said this is what we want up to this standard and no questions asked, instead of debating on what is good or not this big? >> they were. the head of the quality insurance, one of the most respected contract experts in welds told them you have a problem. don't accept them and they did anyway. he said the project manager told him not to put anything in writing. when he got up and spoke, he said i didn't tell them not to put anything in writing. i was trying to cover it up. i want them to be accurate. you have a person who is a lawyer telling an expert in the field what is accurate and what is not accurate. you tell me if that sounds fishy? >> okay. up there every other word out of people's mouths was it's okay. the bridge is safe. the bridge is safe. that it's not going to fall down. i didn't hear a lot about whether we got ourmon's worth, whether this is a $6 billion bridge that is going to need ongoing maintenance because of problems with the building. >> well, you hear a lot about it from me. my question has always been. three questions, why was it $5 billion over budget and by the way, it's going to be more over budget, why did it take 10 years longer than it was supposed to and what did we get for it? we were told we were going to get a world-class product. no one saw anything like it in terms of safety and they're equivocating and saying that our experts said you're going to have to spend money to retrofitting within five years and don't forget, there was a big issue on the bolts. we found out they were told not to accept the bolts. they overrode that and accepted the bolts and had them sit in water for five years. >> and so you think it's going to wind up having cost more than 6 billion? >> we still have to bring down the old bridge. so, that is going to be over budget, my belief, and you're immediately going to have to start retrofitting this. what does it mean for the average commuter? do you go across that five times a week to come into france, that is fen hundred dollars a day. these -- $1,500 a day. these folks act like it's nothing. >> these folks, how involved are they in high-speed rail and what does this say for that project? >> well, it's different. you have the high-speed rail authority. our experts at the last hearing said high-speed rail around the world is amongst the projects most overbudget. it's at 68 billion. i would expect if it's built -- built, and i don't think it will be under the current plan, it will be 350 bottom. >> back to the bridge, what is next?

>> to get fat and for winter. a lot of that comes from acorns. >> reporter: yosemite valley doesn't have more bears than usual but that most of them are still awake. the biologists are keeping track of them with radio collars. special homing antennas help locate them if the biologist needs to track down the special bear. >> each collar has its own frequency to differentiate between bears. >> they get special attention from radio repeaters that automatically detect them when they show up looking for food. >> they eat anything they can find. so. >> toothpaste? >> sure, toothpaste. >> campbell soup? -- soup? >> yes. >> acorns? >> dead animals. >> i bears are smart. this year, a new food locker is being used, a new am to keep them out. these kids from oakland are camping and they have plans if they see a bear. >> if i see a bear, i will probably freak out. >> reporter: he's in luck. radio trackers don't show any bears in the valley at the moment. yosemite wildlife biologists say they don't know when the bears will start hibernating. -- hibernating. unless it snows soon and covers up their food, they may not hibernate at all this year. >> the drought affects the bears, our politicians, the governor's main point of the state-of-the-state this week. >> it was interesting. he came out flat and said it, there is not a lot you can do about the weather. >> right. >> if you're governor of california, it's up there with forest fires as something you're going to have to deal with but you're waiting for the affects. already, we're rationing and there is a question not only about the drought this year but if this is part of a larger pattern that could last seven, 10 years. >> if that is a question, how is this going to affect the big projects like the delta water project? at what point would the environmentalists step aside and say, hey, the state has a real problem here. we are going to have to give up some of the safeguards. >> if anything, the environmentalists will step forward and say the lack of water shows you can't be messing around with it and shipping it down to swimming pools and golf courses and businesses in the south. we have to protect the delta, we have to protect what we have. you can't be doing that right now. i would suspect that the entire water plan for the state sort of moves back and everyone sits back and says not right now. people don't like to share what they don't have. >> i will second that. ,,,, ,,,,,, for the new mattress models but sleep train's huge year end clearance ,,,,,, is ending soon. for a short time, save hundreds on tempur-pedic mattresses. get the most highly-recommended bed in america at closeout prices. plus, get interest-free financing and free same-day delivery. why wait for the new models?

>> well, literally, it just wipes out any opportunity to execute power from the seat of the pro tem. he can play games with two people, one coming and one going. no power. >> and would willie brown, the speaker, think of running as controller at the same time? i don't think so. this is a chess game now and where they're thinking two or three steps ahead. >> how does that affect the law making? >> i think -- look. they have to be aware of everything going on in the state. and that is no longer a geographical thing. >> we lose in this deal because symbolically, the title is gone. can we get it back? i would seriously doubt it. >> and that does seem unfortunate we don't have representation at the top of the legislature. we do have the governor. >> you're telling me. something. >> wait a minute. wait a minute. because he lives lately with the governor? and mayor of oakland. remember, jerry brown's spent much of the time in los angeles and he's a governor for the entire state. >> and we don't know where his loyalties live? >> no, it's not necessarily in the governorship with the money and it's with the budget process. a lot of times it's in the committee hearings that decide whether or not ann or mark gets the new project going and green lighted first. >> right. >> it was in the halls where we have the power. interesting to see. >> yes. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,, (anchor does weather) "shiver me timbers" pirates tampa, florida! . welcome back, 9:27 and let's take a final look at the weather forecast. the highs are going to be warm. we could break records around the bay area in places like san rafael, san jose and in the liver moore valley. the warm pattern is going to continue through the first half of the workweek and then, believe it or not, there is some raindrops there in the graphics for thursday. there is a chance of rain. we are going to watch that, of course, says -- as the week progresses. we have been talking -- looking for some of the showers. >> and pirates are invading tampa, florida. actually, they're taking over, they take over the city every single year. the colorful historic event is called gasparilla, named after the pirate ship jose gasparilla. hundreds of thousands of floridians show up to defend the invasion. like a whole big thing. >> yeah. >> and to no avail, the pirates always win in the end. >> you know, the home of disney world. i'm not surprised to see that going on there. >> yeah. >> thank you for joining us this morning. ,,,, ,,,, >> the following is a paid presentation for the wen healthy hair care system brought to you by guthy-renker. >> people ask me all the time, "does wen really work?" i started using wen four years ago. so, you tell me. does wen really work?
