I remember going to lees funeral and his brother lamar was here. Who would have thought two weeks later he would have his own funeral. Reporter its really difficult. How that mother is going on, is beyond me. Thank you. And yesterday evening about this time, we showed you those protesters blocking westbound traffic and that backed up traffic well on to interstate 880 in hayward. Ktvus ken wayne is at the bridge now. Looks like those charges will be a slap in the wrist really. Thats how its looking right now. The protesters apparently got what they wanted. They shut down the bridge. They stopped traffic. And they got a lot of attention. The prosecutors says its not likely that theyll pay a very high price for their action. About 100,000 vehicles a day cross the san mateo bridge. You may think that causes a major disruption in one of the busiest traffic arteries could be a big crime. Not really. At worse the 68 people arrested for causing this traffic headache will likely receive small fines. Not only did they stop traffic, they caused a number of accidents as vehicles tried to stop to avoid the protesters. We had several collisions involving Property Damage and minor injury as a result of the protest. Reporter the Highway Patrol is still investigating the incident and says more arrests are possible. The chp found one of the vehicles used to let protesters out on the bridge. We were able to find that vehicle thanks to the publics help then take those protesters in custody. That vehicle was later impounded. Reporter the San Mateo County d. A. Says that courts often show leniency for protesters. But for multiple offenders that may not be the case. We may not be able to get to emergencies. Thats what were worried about. Reporter students had mixed reactions. I do support the movement. And i think its in keeping with the spirit of Martin Luther king jr. Day. My heart goes out to people who were frustrated by the commute. Reporter the Highway Patrol says its still putting together its cases on the 58 other protesters who were arrested and will forward those cases to the d. A. And gasia, all of those people could be in court for an arraignment at the end of january. Well see what happens. Thank you ken. New developments tonight involving that mysterious gray goo thats killing bird along the shoreline and the east bay. The area where those birds are being found is expanding. Sick birds were discovered today in foster city. They hadn t been found there before. Sick and dead bird have already been found in alameda, san leandro and hayward. Ktvus Noelle Walker is live with the effort to try to figure out what this gray goo is. Reporter today the department of animal and wildlife started doing necropsies at their lab in san leandro. What theyre trying to do is figure out what this goo is. Once they if i can once they figure out what it is, then they will work on trapping down the source. Bath time runs day and night at International Bird rescue. Use a lot of soap to get that out. Reporter its a spa treatment, from wash to rinse cycle trying to get the sticky goo off the bird. The bird who are heavily contaminated its hard to work it off of their feathers. Its very much an emergency. Reporter meaning the number of words in this makeshift ward continues to grow. On one hand i would love to know what the product is. On the other, we kind of need to just move the animals through and worry about the words. Theyre dehydrated. You know some of them are quite thin. And they are not one more. Not happy about being here. Reporter california if california fish and wildlife are starting the necropsies today trying to figure out what is behind the contamination. We followed them as they netted birds, now three have been found on the other side of the bay in foster city. They all end up here. You want to make sure the guys arent freezing and dying and you want to make sure these guys righthand turn heating up. Theyre not very appreciative of our efforts. Reporter they will fly the coop in a couple of weeks. They do not say thank you when they leave. Reporter that volunteer vet we talked to is feeding the birds says she hopes once theyre released some where that they will forget all about this traumatic experience. She likened it to the alien abduction theory of wildlife rehab. Even though these birds have died. How come the state isnt paying for any of the rescue operations . Yeah, frank thats an interesting point. Because if this had been an oil spill, then the state would have stepped in and they would have run things. They would have charged the responsible party and all these volunteers kind of would have stepped in line along with the state. Instead, because its not an oil spill, and that is a good thing. But because its not an oil spill, there is no defined way to handle this. That means the volunteer organization stepped in firsthand and now theyre spending tens of thousands of dollars and that does not include the volunteer time because those people arent paid to try and cope with all of this. Just one last question here. The one that everyone is curious about. I know they dont know what this goo is. But do they have any guesses . No, they dont. And thats what is so puzzling to a lot of people who deal with this. It truly is a mystery. The only thing they know for certain is that it is not oil. And we mentioned earlier that it was found on the other side of the bay. Well, that doesnt mean that whatever it is has drifted over to the peninsula side of the bay. Its possible that the three birds that were found over there were well enough to be able to fly over there to where they thought it was safer. All right, noell walker in san leandro tonight. Noelle, thank you. Closing argumenting were heard today in a corruption casing involving two police officers. Shay and radick are accused of stealing property in raids. Theyre out there, theyre doing their best with what they have. Theyre not trying to violate anybodys rights but mistakes can be made and that doesnt mean a federal crime has been committed. Reporter you will remember last month the federal jury convicted officers Edmond Robles and ferminger of wire fraud and conspiracy as part of that same case. The highly publicized case of britney manerd and her decision to end her life in oregon may lead to changes in california. Manerd was termly ill with brain cancer and ended uptaking her life last november was terminally ill with brain cancer. About 750 people have used the law to end their lives. Thats about one in every 500 deaths in that state. Most of the people had cancer and the average age was 71. In less than an hour from now, president obama will deliver his sixth state of the Union Address and itll be the first time hes done so with republicans controlling both the house and the senate. Joe walton with the preview now of what the president plans to say. Reporter tonight in the state of the Union Address, president obama will lay out many of his policies and priorities. Dont expect a divided government to act on much of what is being proposed. President obamas prime time address an opportunity for him to highlight his agenda. Hes expected to play offense as show downs looming congress. Where theres some areas they will disagree they are welcomed to do so. The president will urge congress to provide credit and cut taxes for the middle class while getting rid of tax breaks. His version of tax reform is not likely to go far. A tax in any form eventually the poor end up paying for it with their jobs. So we have to ask ourselves, do these policies actually help hard working americans . Reporter republicans are opposed to the plan which also levies fees on big banks to pay for the nearly 225 million package. Another deeply divided issue, normalizing relations with cuba and the president is expected to touch upon terrorism threats at home and abroad. But in an unconventional approach to the state of union, this year president obama began rolling out his economic policies weeks ago. Leaving little surprises for this address. A tone he strikes, and the issues he highlights will tell us a lot about what to expect in his presidencys final act. Reporter the first ladys box will be a mix of people the president is speaking to. They will include students, and even a Fallen Soldiers wife. And our coverage will begin at six clock.

It doesnt help the centers for disease control, reports flu shots are not as effective this season.

I think a lot of people want to suppress a cough and they feel this Prescription Medication is the best thing. Reporter dr. Berka isnt surprised about the shortage.
