[00:14.720 --> 00:20.640]  a massive leak there. Cronford's dial in shows us the work being done to fix the break. A large
[00:20.640 --> 00:26.000]  water line that broke here in the town of Rodale is causing problems for some East Bay Mud customers.
[00:26.000 --> 00:29.840]  A spokeswoman for the water company says shortly after three o'clock today,
[00:29.840 --> 00:34.960]  they received a lot of calls from customers in Rodale and Hercules reporting a drop in water
[00:34.960 --> 00:40.480]  pressure. After sending a crew out here near the intersection of Willow Avenue and Hawthorne Drive,
[00:40.480 --> 00:47.040]  they found a large water line about 24 inches in diameter had burst. Aside from a drop in water
[00:47.040 --> 00:52.320]  pressure, a couple of East Bay Mud customers also reported getting dirty water. An East Bay Mud
[00:52.320 --> 00:58.000]  spokeswoman says the rupture is also affecting the nearby Conoco Phillips refinery and CNH
[00:58.000 --> 01:04.000]  sugar. Crews have shut off that 24-inch line and the water is now leaking into Rodale Creek.
[01:04.000 --> 01:10.400]  Many residents say the water pressure is slowly returning to normal. Relieved? Yeah, because
[01:10.400 --> 01:18.000]  we need the water to, you know, cooking and take a shower and, you know, we have water, we have
[01:18.000 --> 01:23.280]  electricity, everything. East Bay Mud is trying to find out what caused that line to rupture
[01:23.280 --> 01:28.960]  and they're not exactly sure when they'll have that line replaced or fixed. In Rodale, I'm
[01:28.960 --> 01:35.200]  Dalen, Cronfort News. A new auto man is in jail after an early morning DUI crash sent a teenager
[01:35.200 --> 01:40.640]  to the hospital. Cronfort's Marine Kelly explains what happened. Here you can see the driver
[01:40.640 --> 01:46.880]  stumbling during his field sobriety test conducted just minutes after police say he crashed his car
[01:46.880 --> 01:52.880]  into a 15-year-old boy. The.15, he was almost double the legal limit. That's extremely drunk.
[01:52.880 --> 01:57.280]  You're not able to really function. The unidentified teenager who was struck had been
[01:57.280 --> 02:01.920]  walking with a group of four other kids as they attempted to cross this intersection of East
[02:01.920 --> 02:08.720]  Washington and Edith at 12.38 this morning. The 15-year-old was the first one to try and cross.
[02:08.720 --> 02:13.840]  This orange X you see on the ground is where he was walking when the car hit him. There are no
[02:13.840 --> 02:19.200]  stop lights or stop signs here at this busy intersection but police say cars in three of the
[02:19.200 --> 02:25.200]  four lanes on this street stopped to let the group cross but the suspect driving here in this fourth
[02:25.200 --> 02:31.280]  lane apparently didn't see the teenagers or the other stopped traffic and kept on driving.
[02:31.280 --> 02:35.600]  Here you can see where the victim smashed against the suspect vehicle's front windshield.
[02:35.600 --> 02:40.800]  The boy was transported by ambulance with a broken leg. Police say the suspect 20-year-old
[02:40.800 --> 02:46.160]  Wesley Pickford had a clean driving record up to this point. He was booked into the Sonoma County
[02:46.160 --> 02:52.240]  jail for felony DUI. It's a charge which could result in very serious and expensive consequences.
[02:52.240 --> 02:57.760]  You know DUIs can run anywhere from like in a legal defense for $10,000 and any time you're
[02:57.760 --> 03:03.040]  talking about felonies there's the possibility of going to state prison. Maureen Kelly Cronford News.
[03:03.040 --> 03:08.240]  A Stockton woman is in jail accused of driving drunk then hitting and killing a pedestrian while
[03:08.240 --> 03:12.960]  her four children were in the car with her. Police say the 29-year-old hit the man just
[03:12.960 --> 03:18.480]  outside his home on New Year's Eve. The suspect faces charges of vehicular manslaughter, felony drunk
[03:18.480 --> 03:24.160]  driving and endangering her children. A new law that went into effect today targets repeat drunk
[03:24.160 --> 03:28.960]  drivers. Any Californian who is convicted of a DUI three or more times could have their license
[03:28.960 --> 03:34.640]  suspended for up to 10 years. That law was created after a San Mateo man was arrested for his ninth
[03:34.640 --> 03:40.400]  DUI. One of the bill's authors is San Mateo Assemblyman Jerry Hill. Another new law in San
[03:40.400 --> 03:46.400]  Jose band's plastic bags from all stores. Craig Sklar shows us what that means to the average grocery
[03:46.400 --> 03:54.960]  shopper. No more paper or plastic. Now it's paper or bring your own. This Save Mart store in East
[03:54.960 --> 04:00.080]  San Jose was ready offering free reusable canvas bags for early customers to use from now on.
[04:00.080 --> 04:03.920]  After that you'll have to buy them yourself. So plastic bags are out. So your choices?
[04:03.920 --> 04:08.560]  Well you can go paper bags which you got to pay a dime every time you use one or a reusable canvas
[04:08.560 --> 04:13.600]  bag but you got to remember to bring it with you to the store every time. Most customers are saying
[04:13.600 --> 04:17.600]  they accept the change in the name of protecting the environment and the landfills from endless
[04:17.600 --> 04:22.480]  discarded plastic bags. That's why San Jose passed the law in the first place. It's nothing new to
[04:22.480 --> 04:26.800]  me. I mean I've been using these for a couple years now so it's no really biggie to me. It's
[04:26.800 --> 04:34.080]  better than having those plastic bags and just going in the creeks in a hurt environment so this
[04:34.080 --> 04:39.200]  is a good way to go. Some though are irritated. They like the convenience of plastic. They're
[04:39.200 --> 04:44.320]  more handy. To me they are. A lot of people hate them but I don't. I enjoy the plastic bags. Critics
[04:44.320 --> 04:49.280]  say the largest adds cost to businesses and hardship for customers but Sunnyvale and Monterey
[04:49.280 --> 04:54.000]  will be joining San Jose in San Francisco with bands going into effect later this year. So remember
[04:54.000 --> 04:59.040]  to bring your reusable bag. It's likely to become a regular part of your shopping life in San Jose.
[04:59.040 --> 05:04.560]  Craig Spark on four news. Banana Sam the monkey is back home tonight at the San Francisco Zoo
[05:04.560 --> 05:10.160]  after he was stolen two days ago. Police say the 17 year old squirrel monkey was found by a man
[05:10.160 --> 05:15.520]  at a nearby park. The man lured the pocket size primate into his backpack. Police are not sure
[05:15.520 --> 05:20.080]  exactly who took the monkey. However the zoo has increased security because vandals cut two holes
[05:20.080 --> 05:26.480]  in the mesh of the monkey exhibit to get that monkey out. He was trembling and hungry last night
[05:26.480 --> 05:32.560]  but I'm pleased to report that he is in good health and calm today. He's eating well. His stool is
[05:32.560 --> 05:36.880]  fine. He looks to be in great health. We received a call from the police last night that someone
[05:36.880 --> 05:42.400]  had called into them and had been able to lure a squirrel monkey back into a knapsack. The police
[05:42.400 --> 05:47.920]  are still investigating the matter. All I know is that the call was made from stern groves so
[05:47.920 --> 05:53.040]  allegedly the monkey was found in stern grove. We were very fearful but we're grateful. He seems
[05:53.040 --> 05:57.760]  to be in good shape. He unfortunately is on his own right now as we examine him and we hope we can
[05:57.760 --> 06:03.120]  return him back to his fellow colleagues here at the exhibit. How long will he be in quarantine?
[06:03.120 --> 06:07.680]  You know can be anywhere up to 30 days depending on how we respond to medical tests. We hope it's
[06:07.680 --> 06:13.040]  sooner than that of course though. Back in 2000 another animal was stolen from the San Francisco
[06:13.040 --> 06:19.040]  Zoo. A mother koala and her baby were taken from their enclosure in 2000. They were later found
[06:19.040 --> 06:23.200]  in the San Francisco home. They were okay but hungry. They had been taken by two teenagers who
[06:23.200 --> 06:25.840]  wanted to give them to their girlfriends for Christmas.
[06:29.440 --> 06:35.040]  Gorgeous weather for this first day of 2012. We had mostly sunny skies and some warm temperatures
[06:35.040 --> 06:41.680]  that made it up into the 60s in a lot of locations. Upper 60s even 70 degrees for Mountain View today.
[06:41.680 --> 06:47.680]  These readings running about 10 degrees above normal in a lot of spots around the Bay Area.
[06:47.680 --> 06:53.600]  And it's going to remain on the warm side through this coming week, the first week of 2012. The
[06:53.600 --> 06:58.880]  mild temperatures continue into this evening right now. Lots of spots checking in in the 50s. It's
[06:58.880 --> 07:05.280]  54 degrees in San Francisco as well as Mountain View San Jose right now 53 and the overnight lows
[07:05.280 --> 07:10.080]  for tonight and into tomorrow morning will be relatively mild as well. We're going to see
[07:10.080 --> 07:15.920]  increasing low clouds as we go into tonight and some valley fog developing for the North Bay
[07:15.920 --> 07:20.560]  Valleys. Santa Rosa and Fairfield could see some low visibility for tomorrow morning.
[07:20.560 --> 07:24.720]  Temperatures not as cold as what we've seen. Mid 40s San Francisco and Oakland,
[07:24.720 --> 07:30.080]  coolest spots in the North Bay into the mid 30s. Now going through the day we're going to see some
[07:30.720 --> 07:35.520]  high clouds sunshine mixed with the clouds through the day as a weather system makes its way through
[07:35.520 --> 07:40.400]  the Bay Area. Any chance for wet weather though is going to stay to our North. Look for high
[07:40.400 --> 07:46.240]  temperatures not quite as warm as what we've seen but still pretty nice upper 50s and low 60s.
[07:46.240 --> 07:51.440]  I'll talk more about the weather for this first week of 2012. Coming up Vicki. Well the Oakland
[07:51.440 --> 07:55.760]  Raiders needed a win today for a chance to get into the playoffs. Despite a late push they
[07:55.760 --> 08:02.080]  just couldn't get it done. San Diego Chargers defeating the Raiders 38 to 26. 49ers are already
[08:02.080 --> 08:06.720]  in the playoffs today. They played to keep their second seed which means a buy in the first round
[08:06.720 --> 08:11.520]  of the playoffs. The Niners defeated the St. Louis Rams today. They will play Saturday,
[08:11.520 --> 08:18.400]  January 14th against either the Falcons, Giants or Cowboys. Coming up on Cronfort News at 8 we
[08:18.400 --> 08:24.720]  look at who the top contenders are to win the Iowa Caucus. San Francisco skyline will soon change
[08:24.720 --> 08:30.560]  once SF MoMA opens up its new museum in this location. Coming up we'll show you what it will
[08:30.560 --> 08:36.560]  look like. And we'll tell you how to get cash from any gift cards you received this holiday season.
[08:38.080 --> 08:41.200]  Start your day in four. Start with us on the clock for morning news.
[08:44.000 --> 08:49.440]  This holiday treat yourself to the gift of driving from Mazda, the company obsessed with it,
[08:49.440 --> 08:55.120]  like the 2012 Mazda 3 with revolutionary sky active technology combining 40 miles per gallon
[08:55.120 --> 09:01.120]  highway with uncompromised performance. We've wrapped up the 2012 Mazda 3 with 1.9% APR for 60
[09:01.120 --> 09:05.760]  months plus no payments for 90 days, but only through January 3rd. If it's not worth driving,
[09:05.760 --> 09:26.000]  it's not worth building. We build Mazdas. What do you try? Soap sound.
[09:36.640 --> 09:41.840]  Hurry into the BMW mission to drive sales event for an up to $2,500 credit toward a new BMW.
[09:43.520 --> 09:47.520]  I fix up cars to sell them, but Mako paints them first. It increases their value.
[09:48.320 --> 09:53.120]  Maybe I should go to Mako instead of trading in my old SUV. They were great after my accident.
[09:53.120 --> 09:58.000]  Yes, Mako restores the color and the shine. It'll look almost new. So I went to Mako and
[09:58.000 --> 10:03.920]  sold my car for top dollar. Naturally, act now and you can save too. Mako's most popular paint
[10:03.920 --> 10:09.200]  service is now half price. That's right. Half price. Now only $2.99. Come in today. You don't
[10:09.200 --> 10:15.600]  want to miss our half price sale. Whatever your uh oh, better get Mako. I'm away on a
[10:15.600 --> 10:22.000]  movie shoot and it hasn't been going exactly as planned. I thought we'd be on location for three
[10:22.000 --> 10:27.360]  days. It's been three weeks, so I had to pick up some more things. Good thing I've got the city
[10:27.360 --> 10:32.320]  simplicity card. I don't get hit with a fee if I'm late with a payment, which is good because on this
[10:32.320 --> 10:40.480]  job. No, bigger. I may not be home for a while. The new city simplicity card, no late fees, no
[10:40.480 --> 10:49.920]  penalty rate, no worries. Now to decision 2012, a final push from the Republican presidential
[10:49.920 --> 10:56.720]  candidates before the Iowa caucus and with only two days to go, a new poll suggests Romney and
[10:56.720 --> 11:00.720]  Ron Paul will battle it out for the top spot. Barbara Hall shows us where the candidates are
[11:00.720 --> 11:07.440]  stomping today. A political fight to the finish line before the first real voting of the 2012
[11:07.440 --> 11:13.840]  presidential race. The latest Des Moines Register poll shows Mitt Romney and Ron Paul neck and neck.
[11:13.840 --> 11:20.400]  Paul says his campaign is picking up momentum. We're doing very, very well and uh people should
[11:20.400 --> 11:24.000]  just be a little bit patient. You know, on Tuesday we're going to find out a lot more about the
[11:24.000 --> 11:29.440]  future of this election. Rival Mitt Romney is narrowly leading among caucus goers. On Sunday,
[11:29.440 --> 11:34.640]  he picked up another endorsement from Iowa newspaper, The Quad City Times. Former Senator
[11:34.640 --> 11:40.000]  Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania rounded out the top three in the poll. My surge is going to come on
[11:40.000 --> 11:45.520]  January 3rd. After the people of Iowa do what they do, which is actually analyze the candidates,
[11:45.520 --> 11:50.000]  figure out where their positions are, find out who's the who's the right leader, who's got the
[11:50.000 --> 11:55.440]  what it takes to defeat Barack Obama and to to lead this country. Iowa's governor seems to agree.
[11:55.440 --> 12:02.400]  My goal is as governor, unite the Republican party, attract the independence and defeat
[12:02.400 --> 12:07.280]  Obama. We launched him, we want to sink him. Also on the campaign trail Sunday, Newt Gingrich,
[12:07.280 --> 12:12.880]  Rick Perry and Michelle Bachman stumping in Iowa, while John Huntsman focuses on New Hampshire,

[14:18.240 --> 14:23.360]  ultimate cheeseburger and sourdough jack better than ever. Real tasty. Pretty easy good.

[14:34.640 --> 14:38.640]  If a new Honda isn't sitting in your driveway by now, then perhaps I failed to convey the
[14:38.640 --> 14:43.680]  proper sense of urgency. Cute, dramatic music. In a short time, happy Honda days will be over.
[14:43.680 --> 14:48.240]  More dramatic. Taking with it, your chance to get one of the most incredible deals all year on a

[15:04.800 --> 15:08.400]  History was made in Hawaii today after the stroke of midnight.
[15:08.400 --> 15:12.960]  Several same sex couples took advantage of a new law that allows civil unions.
[15:12.960 --> 15:20.000]  Dick Alguyer was there for the celebration. We now pronounce that you are legally joined
[15:20.000 --> 15:30.640]  as partners in life. After midnight in the opening moments of 2012, the first civil unions
[15:30.640 --> 15:36.560]  became official in Honolulu. The event was held at a beautiful private home in Aina Hina. It was
[15:36.560 --> 15:42.160]  organized by a number of gay, lesbian and transgender activists and support groups.
[15:42.160 --> 15:46.880]  The celebration began on New Year's Eve. There was a party, a recognition ceremony,
[15:46.880 --> 15:52.640]  to honor those who have fought for civil unions for so many years and then the unions.
[15:52.640 --> 15:56.000]  Without beginning or end, they symbolize eternity.
[15:56.800 --> 16:01.760]  Reverence from local churches presided over the civil unions. The couple said they wanted
[16:01.760 --> 16:07.520]  their unions to become official as soon as possible. We really don't want to wait any longer because
[16:07.520 --> 16:17.200]  we have been together for 33 years waiting for our opportunity and our rights and everything
[16:17.200 --> 16:25.280]  that goes with it. So why wait? The historic part of it for me is that to be one of the firsts to
[16:25.280 --> 16:30.560]  open that door so that the rest of them after us, you know, there's others out there that want to
[16:30.560 --> 16:35.520]  do this and they can show them, you know, we can show them, you know, hey, you love somebody,
[16:35.520 --> 16:40.720]  you have the right to be with them the rest of your life also. They say the official recognition
[16:40.720 --> 16:48.080]  is important. It means that our state supports us and that's a really good feeling after all this
[16:48.080 --> 16:55.600]  time and it'll be that much easier for those who come after us. And they have a message to other
[16:55.600 --> 17:02.880]  same-sex couples. Our message is go for the gustos. Like they say in Hawaii, go for broke.
[17:02.880 --> 17:11.600]  Don't be ashamed. Hawaii is not the only state allowing same-sex unions. Delaware saw 400 people
[17:11.600 --> 17:20.400]  tie the knot today. Thanks to their new law. Well, here's the view from Twin Peaks this afternoon
[17:20.400 --> 17:26.400]  for San Francisco this January 1st, 2012. A beautiful day, mostly sunny skies in the temperature
[17:26.400 --> 17:34.000]  in San Francisco up to 61 degrees. So we're starting off dry and warm and that's the way it's been
[17:34.000 --> 17:38.080]  lately around here right now live San Francisco looking at the Embarcadero. And by the way,
[17:38.720 --> 17:44.720]  this very shot last night on Cronford Midnight. A beautiful fireworks display over the city
[17:44.720 --> 17:49.200]  and we have some more nice weather to talk about for tonight. Temperatures in the 50s right now.
[17:49.200 --> 17:55.760]  It is mild ocean beach 53 degrees Berkeley at 54. Pittsburgh and Petaluma cooler but still
[17:55.760 --> 18:02.080]  not too bad in the mid 40s. Here's the satellite view and we have a weather system offshore for
[18:02.080 --> 18:08.640]  tonight. This system, though, like we've seen so much of lately is going to stay to the north.
[18:08.640 --> 18:13.280]  That's where all the rain is going to be. We're going to see some cloudiness out of this for
[18:13.280 --> 18:17.920]  tomorrow. So as we go through the night tonight, look for the clouds to increase. We'll wake up
[18:17.920 --> 18:23.920]  to mostly cloudy skies for tomorrow morning and then look for partly sunny skies in the afternoon.
[18:23.920 --> 18:29.120]  So it'll be a mixture of sunshine and high thin clouds and this dry weather we've seen is going
[18:29.120 --> 18:36.560]  to stick around at least through next weekend. So no relief in sight from this spell of rain free
[18:36.560 --> 18:41.520]  days. Here's future cast midnight tonight and we'll watch the clouds increase as we go through
[18:41.520 --> 18:47.440]  the overnight hours. There it comes. All the rain up here around Eureka to the north of Ucaia.
[18:47.440 --> 18:52.080]  There originally was a chance for showers around Santa Rosa, but that is now out of the forecast.
[18:52.080 --> 18:57.200]  Look for clouds in the morning, partly sunny afternoon, and then the clouds will clear out for
[18:57.200 --> 19:02.080]  tomorrow night. And as far as the rainfall totals go for December, one of the driest
[19:02.080 --> 19:07.440]  December's on record. Oakland, San Jose and Santa Rosa picking up less than a tenth of an inch
[19:07.440 --> 19:12.960]  for the entire month. Typically we see much more than that and a lot of locations around the Bay
[19:12.960 --> 19:18.240]  area. It was the second driest December on record. Now for tomorrow morning, cloudy skies,
[19:18.240 --> 19:22.560]  mostly cloudy. Could see some fog here in the North Bay Valley's Fairfield, Santa Rosa, mid to
[19:22.560 --> 19:27.680]  upper thirties, low to mid forties by the bay with highs in the afternoon, not quite as warm
[19:27.680 --> 19:34.560]  because of the cloud cover upper fifties and low sixties and looking ahead at the next seven days
[19:34.560 --> 19:41.440]  this first week of 2012. Well, it's looking pretty nice. We're going to see dry conditions once again
[19:41.440 --> 19:46.800]  and morning fog afternoon sunshine through much of this week and continued warm temperatures
[19:46.800 --> 19:51.760]  mid to upper sixties for Tuesday and Wednesday. There's a system coming by for Thursday.
[19:51.760 --> 19:56.640]  All the rain stays to the north with that one as well and dry weather through next weekend. Vicki
[19:57.360 --> 20:01.360]  make them and break them seems to be the theme for many of us who make promises for the new
[20:01.360 --> 20:06.400]  year only to stumble weeks later. But as Karen Kafa tells us in this week's clicked in,
[20:06.400 --> 20:09.360]  your smartphone could be your resolution solution.
[20:09.360 --> 20:22.080]  Out with old habits in with the new. I'm going to join a gym and become more active. I'm going to
[20:22.080 --> 20:27.920]  try to drink more water because I drink too much diet soda. New year's resolutions are easy to make
[20:27.920 --> 20:32.720]  and even easier to break. Have you guys ever had a resolution that you didn't quite stick with?
[20:32.720 --> 20:38.160]  Yes. What was that? Going to diet. It was a stop biting my nails but then never worked out.
[20:38.160 --> 20:43.680]  So what if you had a reminder in your pocket every day? That's the goal of smartphone apps like
[20:43.680 --> 20:50.480]  resolutions 2012, which lets users choose goals, identify habits they need to change to meet them
[20:50.480 --> 20:56.240]  and track progress. Weight loss is a popular resolution each year. The daily burn app for
[20:56.240 --> 21:01.520]  iPhone manages workouts and calorie counts. The new weight loss app for Android gives
[21:01.520 --> 21:06.720]  day by day tips on eating, working out and slimming down. The My Quick Coach app from
[21:06.720 --> 21:12.000]  Livestrong is for those who want to kick butts in 2012. The app presents daily guidelines for
[21:12.000 --> 21:18.000]  quitting smoking gradually over time or helping you go cold turkey. The quitter app for iPhone
[21:18.000 --> 21:23.200]  tallies how much money you've saved since putting down your last cigarette and keeping the resolution
[21:23.200 --> 21:29.120]  can require a support system. I want to try to eat healthier. We got to be a role model and show
[21:29.120 --> 21:35.600]  that more how to eat healthy. Try posting your goal on social media so connections can cheer you on.
[21:35.600 --> 21:42.080]  I'm Karen Keitha and you're now clicked in. Making more room for art in the city. Coming up,
[21:42.080 --> 22:08.080]  we're going to show you the bigger, better, brand new redesign for SF MoMA.

[23:09.840 --> 23:15.760]  like the spacious Mazda six sports sedan, the five passenger Mazda CX seven and the seven
[23:15.760 --> 23:21.840]  passenger Mazda CX nine. We've wrapped up these mazes with 0% APR for 60 months for snow payments
[23:21.840 --> 23:27.600]  for 90 days, but only through January 3rd. If it's not worth driving, it's not worth building.
[23:27.600 --> 23:36.400]  We build Mazdas. What do you drive? I'd like to think I'm a smart guy and can handle any situation,
[23:36.400 --> 23:40.880]  but when a drunk driver told him my motorcycle, my friend insisted that I call attorney Neil
[23:40.880 --> 23:46.880]  Kovara first before I called my insurance company because even your own insurance company can and
[23:46.880 --> 23:52.640]  will use what you tell them against you. Neil Kovara's 35 plus years of experience paid off.
[23:52.640 --> 23:56.800]  I didn't know I'm a cent till he settled my case and he got me a lot more money than the
[23:56.800 --> 24:01.440]  insurance company offered. Calling attorney Neil Kovara was definitely the smart choice.
[24:03.040 --> 24:13.440]  Let's go to Vegas. Let's go to Vegas. Maybe we should head back to the dealership first.

[24:36.880 --> 24:44.080]  in the Bay Area. From people you know, people you trust, relentless coverage during breaking news.
[24:44.080 --> 24:52.960]  Korn 4 is the Bay Area's news station. Now, time for the Korn 4 Tech Report with Gabe Slate.
[24:52.960 --> 24:58.800]  I'm at SFO. I've been talking to travelers about this issue. Most people I talked to were
[24:58.800 --> 25:04.080]  unaware of it, but they did have a reaction to that more on that later. First, here's what's
[25:04.080 --> 25:10.080]  going on. Google has launched an online flight fair finder service. You can find it at google.com
[25:10.080 --> 25:16.160]  backslash flights. It's their version of Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity, or Kayak. You just put in
[25:16.160 --> 25:21.360]  the cities you want to fly to and from, and Google lists out the prices of that flight.
[25:21.360 --> 25:25.840]  They compare the airlines to find you the cheapest ticket. If you click on those ticket prices,
[25:25.840 --> 25:30.720]  you are taken directly to the airline's website to purchase the tickets. I thought the service was
[25:30.720 --> 25:35.520]  great. I found it really fast and easy to use. But here's the problem. Now that Google has an
[25:35.520 --> 25:40.640]  online travel service, it puts Google in direct competition with sites like Expedia, Hotwire,
[25:40.640 --> 25:46.000]  Travelocity, Orbitz, Kayak, and Priceline. And those websites are claiming that when you do a
[25:46.000 --> 25:51.840]  basic search for travel on Google.com, something like flights from San Francisco to New York,
[25:51.840 --> 25:58.640]  Google puts its flights fair service higher within the results than the other online travel websites.
[25:58.640 --> 26:03.040]  Before Google offered their new service, sites like Orbitz and Expedia would be up at the top of
[26:03.040 --> 26:08.720]  the results. These middlemen online travel sites depend on some of their traffic coming from generic
[26:08.720 --> 26:14.160]  travel searches through Google's search site. So they're upset and feel it's unfair that they
[26:14.160 --> 26:19.520]  have been pushed down in the list of results. In a statement Google sent to me, they said this,
[26:19.520 --> 26:24.560]  like any other partner, Google needs to honor the airline's distribution decisions with the flight
[26:24.560 --> 26:30.400]  search feature. That means we currently can only show airlines in the booking links. We're exploring
[26:30.400 --> 26:35.840]  advertising opportunities within the page to showcase other partners. So it sounds like Google
[26:35.840 --> 26:40.320]  will try to make it a little more fair for their competitors in the near future. This could turn
[26:40.320 --> 26:45.200]  into a Department of Justice antitrust issue. There could be a big lawn and drawn out lawsuit.
[26:45.200 --> 26:49.680]  We'll have to wait and see how this shakes out. Here at SFO I talk to travelers about all of this
[26:49.680 --> 26:54.880]  and several people brought up a good point. People who use Kayak Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity,
[26:54.880 --> 27:00.000]  these types of sites often, they just go to those websites to do their travel shopping.
[27:00.000 --> 27:04.720]  They don't find those sites through a Google search. So they'll just keep doing what they're doing
[27:04.720 --> 27:11.440]  unaffected. Google Fairfinders just now another of the dozen online travel tools that they can use.
[27:11.440 --> 27:16.320]  Gabe Slate, Cron For News. Could this Sacramento Delta be another Katrina-like
[27:16.320 --> 27:20.240]  flood in the making coming up for you to see why experts are worried about a possible breach in

[30:02.400 --> 30:06.160]  Federal authorities say they sent fighter jets to check out a plane headed to the
[30:06.160 --> 30:10.960]  Bay Area this morning. That flight was going to Oakland from Santa Monica. The FAA says that
[30:10.960 --> 30:16.640]  air traffic controllers lost radio contact with the plane near Ventura. They sent the jets as a
[30:16.640 --> 30:20.720]  precaution. Air traffic controllers eventually got into contact with the plane and the jets were
[30:20.720 --> 30:25.760]  called off. That plane landed in Oakland without incident. Oakland police are still searching for
[30:25.760 --> 30:30.160]  the person who shot and killed a five year old Friday night. Now they're offering a reward.
[30:30.160 --> 30:35.440]  Gabriel Martinez Jr. was with his family at the taco truck that they own on International Boulevard.
[30:35.440 --> 30:40.000]  Police say that the suspect ordered a taco, started eating, then just started shooting.
[30:40.000 --> 30:43.680]  Gabriel was hit in the stomach. Police do not know why the man opened fire there,
[30:43.680 --> 30:49.920]  teaming up with prime stoppers to offer a $25,000 reward for his arrest. There are several
[30:49.920 --> 30:54.400]  new laws that go into effect today. Crown Forest Alejandra Sarabal tells us what to expect.
[30:56.080 --> 31:01.760]  California employers will no longer use the federal e-verify program to determine the eligibility
[31:01.760 --> 31:07.520]  of employees to work in the U.S. unless it's required by federal law. And employers will be
[31:07.520 --> 31:13.440]  banned from requesting consumer credit reports to evaluate employees unless the position they're
[31:13.440 --> 31:19.440]  applying for meets certain criteria. Now students who enter the country illegally will be eligible
[31:19.440 --> 31:26.400]  to receive private financial aid at public colleges. Now when it comes to your car, it can't be
[31:26.400 --> 31:32.880]  impounded at a sobriety checkpoint if the only offense is not having a valid license. Now starting
[31:32.880 --> 31:41.200]  January 1st, you can register to vote online and it will be illegal to sell, trade, and distribute
[31:41.200 --> 31:50.960]  shark fins. Alejandra Sarabal, Kwan For News. Well we have new laws for 2012 with the same
[31:50.960 --> 31:57.760]  weather pattern here as we had last year in 2011. Very dry and sunny. Now for tonight, clear skies
[31:57.760 --> 32:01.840]  over the bay but there are some clouds beginning to develop at the coast and those clouds are
[32:01.840 --> 32:06.160]  forecast to move into the bay overnight tonight. So for tomorrow morning, it's going to be a mostly
[32:06.160 --> 32:12.400]  cloudy start with some fog into the north bay valley. Visibility could be limited at times. As we
[32:12.400 --> 32:16.400]  go through the day, we're catching the tail end of a weather system and that's going to produce
[32:16.400 --> 32:21.920]  some clouds but it'll be a mixture of sunshine and some high clouds for the afternoon. No rain
[32:21.920 --> 32:26.080]  expected from this weather system, at least not here in the bay area. Temperature wise,
[32:26.080 --> 32:31.600]  6 a.m. 30s, coolest valleys north and east, 40s by the bay and it's going to be getting to the
[32:31.600 --> 32:36.160]  afternoon. Because of the cloud cover, the temperatures will not be quite as mild as what
[32:36.160 --> 32:42.400]  we had today. So look for highs in the upper 50s in blue and some lower 60s in the green for the
[32:42.400 --> 32:48.080]  south bay. In the Sierra today, here's Lake Tahoe, heavenly, lots of sunshine, temperatures here
[32:48.080 --> 32:53.680]  today in the mid 50s and we're going to see more warm weather continue for the next few days. It'll
[32:53.680 --> 33:00.320]  be cloudy for Monday, Tuesday, sunny, possibly some record highs in the mid 50s and the dry
[33:00.320 --> 33:04.960]  weather continues for this week. I'll talk more about the forecast coming up in a few minutes.
[33:04.960 --> 33:09.680]  Vicki. Alright Brian, well with the winter rains yet to come, it's hard to imagine that this was the
[33:09.680 --> 33:16.720]  scene in the Delta just five years ago. 2006 came in with a huge storm that sent the Sacramento
[33:16.720 --> 33:22.000]  River spilling its banks, flooding thousands of acres and hundreds of homes. Now state planners
[33:22.000 --> 33:27.200]  are warning that more than the levees are substandard and without billions of dollars of repairs,
[33:27.200 --> 33:32.320]  they represent a danger to lives, agriculture and drinking water supplies. Crown First Catherine
[33:32.320 --> 33:38.320]  Heenan has details. The damage was easily visible from space. You can see the Sacramento River
[33:38.320 --> 33:43.120]  spread out over the surrounding countryside. The warnings have been coming in for years.
[33:43.120 --> 33:47.360]  There are two kinds of levees, those that have failed, those that will fail. Now the state has
[33:47.360 --> 33:52.800]  released its first comprehensive plan for fixing the aging flood control system. There are about
[33:52.800 --> 33:58.800]  1500 miles of levees in the Sacramento River basin. More than half are classified as higher
[33:58.800 --> 34:04.640]  concern. The report was commissioned after the Hurricane Katrina disaster. It says that New
[34:04.640 --> 34:11.040]  Orleans is now protected from the kind of flood that could come once in 250 years. St. Louis is
[34:11.040 --> 34:18.720]  protected from a once in 500 years storm. For Sacramento, it's a once in 85 year storm. Fixing
[34:18.720 --> 34:24.160]  all of that will take money, of course. Five years ago, voters approved a five billion dollar bond
[34:24.160 --> 34:29.840]  measure. About half the money has been spent bringing the levee system into the 21st century.
[34:29.840 --> 34:35.680]  The latest estimate, another 12 billion will be needed to finish the job. The Central Valley
[34:35.680 --> 34:41.280]  Flood Protection Board has until June to approve that plan. A Georgia woman says that her two
[34:41.280 --> 34:47.360]  brothers successfully escaped from Alcatraz years ago. Marie Anglin Weidner says that her brothers
[34:47.360 --> 34:52.560]  are two of the three men credited with the only escape from Alcatraz. She says that they robbed
[34:52.560 --> 34:58.880]  in Alabama Bank with a toy gun back in 1958. They were captured but kept trying to escape from prison,
[34:58.880 --> 35:05.120]  so they were sent to Alcatraz. She believes that they're still alive today. The only reason they
[35:05.120 --> 35:11.040]  put them in Alcatraz was because they could not keep them anywhere else they put them. They kept
[35:11.040 --> 35:18.160]  getting away. We know they're okay. Weidner plans to come to San Francisco to mark the 50th anniversary
[35:18.160 --> 35:23.360]  of their escape this summer. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is moving ahead with its
[35:23.360 --> 35:29.280]  expansion plans. Here is a picture of before and after the expansion. Well, the Planning
[35:29.280 --> 35:33.760]  Commission has already approved the environmental impact report. Cronfort's Reggie Kumar shows
[35:33.760 --> 35:39.920]  people the new face of downtown San Francisco. SF MoMA officials tell Cronfort when they first
[35:39.920 --> 35:46.080]  moved into the current facilities in 1995, the museum housed 12,000 works. Since then,
[35:46.080 --> 35:52.320]  the collection has doubled in size and attendance has tripled. That's why the new gallery is needed.
[35:52.320 --> 35:57.600]  It will be constructed between Mina and Howard Streets and connect to the rear of the museum.
[35:57.600 --> 36:03.040]  Officials say once the new buildings open, they will have 130,000 square feet of space
[36:03.040 --> 36:08.960]  to enhance exhibits and expand educational programs. One of the architects said the design
[36:08.960 --> 36:14.880]  responds to the unique physical and urban terrain of San Francisco. Some have mixed feelings about
[36:14.880 --> 36:40.480]  how it's going to look. It's not exactly the most beautiful building that I've ever seen,
[36:40.480 --> 36:45.040]  but San Francisco is known for stepping outside of the box a little bit, so I don't think it's a
[36:45.040 --> 36:50.400]  horrible addition. If all goes as planned, the new museum will open up behind the existing one in
[36:50.400 --> 36:58.560]  2016. The price tag $555 million. Nearly all of the funding is being raised through a private
[36:58.560 --> 37:05.680]  endowment. This is not a city or state funded project. In San Francisco, Reggie Kumar Cronfort
[37:05.680 --> 37:10.400]  News. Warning if you can't pay your creditors coming up, we're going to introduce you to one guy who
[37:10.400 --> 37:15.040]  ended up in jail. That is even after he worked out a payment plan with the bill collector.

[39:32.880 --> 39:39.680]  today. A Kansas man is paying a stiff price for furniture he bought back in 2008. He didn't pay
[39:39.680 --> 39:44.160]  his credit card bills and wound up in jail. And now he's warning others to pay attention when
[39:44.160 --> 39:51.440]  creditors take legal action. Mary Snow has more. For 57-year-old James Davis of Kansas,
[39:51.440 --> 39:56.240]  using a credit card to buy this computer and some furniture is haunting him in ways he never
[39:56.240 --> 40:02.640]  imagined. In 2008, when the economy went south, Davis lost his job and fell behind on bills.
[40:02.640 --> 40:07.920]  The creditor took him to court. Davis admits he didn't show up and a bench warrant was issued.
[40:07.920 --> 40:12.160]  But he says he thought he rectified the situation by reaching a pay plan agreement
[40:12.160 --> 40:17.440]  until he was arrested in January. I was confused. Of course, I was humiliated.
[40:20.960 --> 40:27.280]  Somewhat mental disorder, I guess you could say. Davis spent several hours in jail before getting
[40:27.280 --> 40:34.240]  out on $250 bond. But he's now suing for unfair debt collection practices. The creditor refutes
[40:34.240 --> 40:39.360]  that in a legal response to the suit, writing, the bench warrant was not issued for failure to
[40:39.360 --> 40:44.880]  make payments on the payment plan, but was issued for civil contempt for disobeying court orders.
[40:45.680 --> 40:51.200]  Outside of this case, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says there are others where people
[40:51.200 --> 40:56.480]  in debt are not aware that creditors are taking them to court and wind up arrested for not meeting
[40:56.480 --> 41:01.360]  a court date. It's a chain reaction that begins when they fail to pay their bills.
[41:01.360 --> 41:05.440]  In Illinois, and unfortunately, my understanding is in other states in this country, there are
[41:05.440 --> 41:10.720]  people who are being put into prison right now because they're poor, essentially. Madigan says
[41:10.720 --> 41:16.000]  there are no hard numbers and these kinds of cases are on track nationwide. But she worries
[41:16.000 --> 41:20.960]  about complaints she's receiving. A lot of it stems from what's known as debt buying. So there are
[41:20.960 --> 41:26.400]  debt buyers out there who are purchasing debt. And then again, they're using terribly aggressive
[41:26.400 --> 41:32.960]  and illegal, you know, tactics to collect it. But a trade group representing debt collectors says
[41:32.960 --> 41:38.400]  going to court to collect debt is a last resort. And a spokesman disputes the claim that people
[41:38.400 --> 41:44.400]  are going to jail for their debt. Dentist prisons are illegal in the United States. And so we're not
[41:44.400 --> 41:50.480]  seeing a return to debtor's prisons. What we are seeing is that somebody who owes a debt,
[41:50.480 --> 41:56.880]  and after many, many attempts to try to collect that debt, the creditor or the collector has
[41:56.880 --> 42:02.800]  taken the consumer to court. James Davis has a warning for others who have unpaid bills.
[42:02.800 --> 42:12.080]  If you have proper notice from a creditor and they are attempting to take you to court over
[42:12.080 --> 42:18.240]  that debt to pay very, very close attention to it. In response to complaints, the Federal Trade
[42:18.240 --> 42:24.720]  Commission says it's been encouraging states to make sure that consumers are notified if they are
[42:24.720 --> 42:32.240]  supposed to appear in court. Mary Snow, CNN, New York. First day of 2012, some gorgeous weather,

[44:44.080 --> 44:49.600]  This year, I decided to spare no expense for our holiday dinner. So I hired renowned chef
[44:49.600 --> 44:56.640]  Gordon Ramsay. Oh, come on. Disgusting. On you. What are you doing? It's raw, you idiot. Is this
[44:56.640 --> 45:02.000]  your first day? Congratulations. It's your last. Get out of here. At a time when it's easy to go
[45:02.000 --> 45:07.920]  overboard. Happy holidays. Acura invites you to be smarter and oversave during the season of

[45:20.080 --> 45:24.080]  Tavern opened last night just in time for New Year's Eve. Here's a look inside the colorful
[45:24.080 --> 45:30.640]  former stagecoach stop and Bordello. If you find yourself along Highway 17 in Las Gatis,
[45:30.640 --> 45:36.400]  there's a really cool new old roadhouse. In fact, it's so old. It was a stagecoach stop,
[45:36.400 --> 45:41.440]  among other things. Follow me. I guess I could saddle up to the bar. Yes, you certainly could.
[45:41.440 --> 45:46.960]  And have yourself a wonderful beer handcrafted. And just happen to be ready for me. So Mark Edwards,
[45:46.960 --> 45:55.440]  proprietor of Kath's Restaurant and Tavern. Yes. What's old is new again. My goal really was to
[45:55.440 --> 46:02.560]  keep it simple, yet have the best barbecue you could ever have. We have brought in a seven-time
[46:02.560 --> 46:10.000]  world champion barbecue chef, Paul Kirk. A lot of the chefs will say, Hickory calls them because
[46:10.000 --> 46:13.040]  it gives you that flavor. All right, let's check it out. And then we'll throw this
[46:13.840 --> 46:21.680]  piece of wood here in the fire box. And the smoking begins. That's quite a smoker. And it gives you
[46:21.680 --> 46:28.640]  the flavor that you would not believe. Right in here is our upstairs banquet room featuring our
[46:28.640 --> 46:34.880]  300-year-old bar. Wow. So what's up with all these guns here? Well, it is an old stagecoach stop.
[46:34.880 --> 46:40.880]  So, you know, we thought how appropriate, but for the cowboys to leave their guns here at the bar.
[46:40.880 --> 46:45.520]  The last cowboy left this one. He'll be back in a week to pick it up.
[46:47.040 --> 46:54.320]  Is it true? This was once a cat house. So spoken. Yes, I believe so. I've heard that from numerous
[46:54.320 --> 47:01.440]  sources. If these walls could talk. Smoke chicken ribs or pulled pork all under $20.
[47:01.440 --> 47:07.040]  In Los Gatos, Vicki Leviakis, Cron for news.
[47:08.480 --> 47:11.680]  Well, apparently not just great food, but great entertainment there as well.
[47:12.320 --> 47:18.080]  Hazy skies from Twin Peaks today, looking across San Francisco with temperatures made it up to the
[47:18.080 --> 47:23.360]  low 60s. And Frank, our photographer, saying the most people he's ever seen up there at Twin Peaks,
[47:23.360 --> 47:27.360]  enjoying the view today on this New Year's Day. Right now, live Golden Gate Bridge,
[47:27.360 --> 47:32.960]  temperatures still mild right now. Most places checking in in the 50s, but it is a little bit
[47:32.960 --> 47:41.120]  cooler for Walnut Creek and Fairfield right now at 44 degrees. San Jose currently 53. Now,
[47:41.120 --> 47:47.920]  we do have a weather system that's rolling in for tonight. This should increase clouds for tomorrow,
[47:47.920 --> 47:53.920]  but once again, no chance for rain in the Bay Area. This pattern of dry weather will continue
[47:53.920 --> 47:58.560]  all the way. It started in November, December, one of the driest on record, and we're starting out
[47:58.560 --> 48:04.640]  January looking very dry as well. So for tomorrow morning, look for areas of low clouds and fog
[48:04.640 --> 48:09.280]  for the North Bay valleys. We will see some coastal clouds move into the bay for tonight
[48:09.280 --> 48:13.280]  after midnight temperatures mid 40s for tomorrow morning by the bay.
[48:14.160 --> 48:19.200]  Mid to upper 30s for the inland valleys. And as we go through the day, we'll see things warm up
[48:19.200 --> 48:25.280]  into the upper 50s and low 60s. Here's future cast at midnight tonight. Mainly clear, but watch
[48:25.280 --> 48:29.840]  these clouds begin to fill into the bay during the overnight. So we become mostly cloudy for
[48:29.840 --> 48:35.040]  tomorrow morning. There's the weather system up on the north coast, producing rain shaded in green
[48:35.040 --> 48:40.560]  and yellow, but this will move inland and not impact the Bay Area, at least with any rain. We
[48:40.560 --> 48:45.760]  will see clouds through the day. It'll be partly sunny for the afternoon, mixture of clouds and
[48:45.760 --> 48:50.400]  sunshine. Then those clouds begin to clear as we get into the evening. High temperatures for the
[48:50.400 --> 48:56.240]  day, not quite as warm tomorrow as what we saw today because of the clouds. Still pretty nice,
[48:56.240 --> 49:02.800]  though. Low to mid 60s for the South Bay. Upper 50s, low 60s inland valleys conquered Martinez,
[49:02.800 --> 49:08.480]  Walnut Creek 59 degrees. Look for highs in the upper 50s and low 60s for the east shore.
[49:09.360 --> 49:14.640]  We'll have the clouds in the morning and then for the afternoon, a mixture of sunshine and high thin
[49:14.640 --> 49:21.520]  clouds. Mid to upper 50s, San Francisco Ocean Beach Daily City Pacifica Redwood City up to 61 degrees,
[49:21.520 --> 49:27.760]  could see some heavy fog here for the North Bay valleys at least early on patchy fog. Santa Rosa
[49:27.760 --> 49:34.480]  Fairfield upper 50s, low 60s here. Here's the seven day around the bay and more dry weather is the
[49:34.480 --> 49:40.080]  theme here as we go into 2012 for Tuesday and Wednesday. It's going to be nice though. Lots
[49:40.080 --> 49:46.640]  of sunshine, highs in the mid to upper 60s. There may be some low 70s around the bay area. For Thursday
[49:46.640 --> 49:50.800]  there's another weather system, but like the one that's coming through tomorrow, this one too,
[49:50.800 --> 49:56.240]  all the rain to the north of the bay area. We'll see a few clouds and then mostly sunny into next
[49:56.240 --> 50:02.160]  weekend. Vicki Tom Cruise continues to draw moviegoers and Kirstie Alley wants you to resolve
[50:02.160 --> 50:10.560]  to dance in 2012. Michelle Wright has all your entertainment news in today's Hollywood Minute.
[50:10.560 --> 50:15.600]  Mission impossible ghost protocol was the top draw at the box office over the New Year's weekend.
[50:15.600 --> 50:20.080]  The film starring Tom Cruise held on to the number one spot for the second weekend in a row
[50:20.080 --> 50:26.320]  with an estimated $31.3 million in ticket sales. Sherlock Holmes, a game of shadows,
[50:26.320 --> 50:32.240]  stayed in second place, pulling in slightly more than $22 million. And Alvin and the Chipmunks,
[50:32.240 --> 50:38.640]  Chipwrecked, held steady in third with $18.3 million in ticket sales. Hollywood is most likely
[50:38.640 --> 50:44.400]  glad to bid farewell to 2011. Hollywood.com reports it was the slowest year at the box
[50:44.400 --> 50:51.520]  office since 1995, 16 years ago. If you've resolved to lose weight in 2012, Kirstie Alley
[50:51.520 --> 50:57.120]  wants to help you dance away the pounds. On New Year's Day, the actress launched 100 Days of Dance,
[50:57.120 --> 51:02.640]  a campaign to encourage Americans to dance for 100 consecutive days to lose weight and get
[51:02.640 --> 51:09.040]  healthy. Participants can sign up for free on 100daysofdance.com where Alley plans to upload
[51:09.040 --> 51:14.720]  videos of herself dancing every day. She tells people.com she wants everyone to have an experience
[51:14.720 --> 51:20.720]  like she did on Dancing with the Stars. Alley lost weight on the show and says she stays in shape by
[51:20.720 --> 51:26.640]  dancing an hour or two a day and following a diet plan. For Hollywood Minute, I'm Michelle Wright.
