[00:08.440 --> 00:11.040] Long, this is corn for the news. [00:11.040 --> 00:12.440] At eight. [00:12.440 --> 00:14.280] A water main break in Hercules is [00:14.280 --> 00:15.840] causing a massive leak. [00:15.840 --> 00:17.440] Their cronfor's dial-in shows us [00:17.440 --> 00:18.920] the work being done to fix the [00:18.920 --> 00:20.280] break. [00:20.280 --> 00:22.080] A large water line that broke here [00:22.080 --> 00:23.520] in the town of Roe Dale is causing [00:23.520 --> 00:25.200] problems for some East Bay mud [00:25.200 --> 00:26.160] customers. [00:26.160 --> 00:27.800] A spokeswoman for the water company [00:27.800 --> 00:29.320] says shortly after three o'clock [00:29.320 --> 00:30.880] today, they received a lot of [00:30.880 --> 00:32.560] calls from customers in Roe Dale [00:32.560 --> 00:34.480] in Hercules, reporting a drop in [00:34.480 --> 00:36.520] water pressure after sending a [00:36.520 --> 00:38.120] crew out here near the intersection [00:38.120 --> 00:39.720] of Willow Avenue and Hoffman [00:39.720 --> 00:40.600] Drive. [00:40.600 --> 00:42.360] They found a large water line about [00:42.360 --> 00:45.560] 24 inches in diameter have burst. [00:45.560 --> 00:47.800] Aside from a drop in water pressure, [00:47.800 --> 00:49.480] a couple of East Bay mud customers [00:49.480 --> 00:51.560] also reported getting dirty water. [00:51.560 --> 00:53.400] An East Bay mud spokeswoman says the [00:53.400 --> 00:55.400] rupture is also affecting a nearby [00:55.400 --> 00:57.320] Conoco Philips refinery and [00:57.320 --> 01:00.080] CNH sugar crews have shut off at [01:00.080 --> 01:02.360] 24 inch line and the water is now [01:02.360 --> 01:04.080] leaking into Roe Dale Creek. [01:04.080 --> 01:05.360] Many residents say the water [01:05.360 --> 01:08.120] pressure is slowly returning to normal. [01:08.120 --> 01:09.120] Really? [01:09.120 --> 01:12.120] Yeah, because we need to work at the [01:12.120 --> 01:13.560] you know, cooking until it's [01:13.560 --> 01:14.760] out where I'm now. [01:14.760 --> 01:15.880] But I just need to be creating [01:15.880 --> 01:17.240] normal, you know, we have water [01:17.240 --> 01:20.040] we have electricity everything. [01:20.040 --> 01:21.480] East Bay mud is trying to find out [01:21.480 --> 01:23.240] what caused that line to rupture [01:23.240 --> 01:25.000] and they're not exactly sure when [01:25.000 --> 01:26.760] they'll have that line replaced or [01:26.760 --> 01:28.760] fixed in Roe Dale. [01:28.760 --> 01:31.160] I'm Da-len, Cronfoy News. [01:31.160 --> 01:32.920] Ainovato Man is in jail after an [01:32.920 --> 01:35.240] early morning DUI crash sent a teenager [01:35.240 --> 01:36.040] to the hospital. [01:36.040 --> 01:37.800] Cronfoy is Marine Kelly explains [01:37.800 --> 01:39.480] what happened. [01:39.480 --> 01:41.320] Here you can see the driver stumbling [01:41.320 --> 01:43.560] during his field sobriety test [01:43.560 --> 01:45.560] conducted just minutes after police [01:45.560 --> 01:48.520] say he crashed his car into a 15-year-old boy. [01:48.520 --> 01:50.920] The point one five he was almost double [01:50.920 --> 01:51.720] the legal limit. [01:51.720 --> 01:52.920] That's extremely drunk. [01:52.920 --> 01:54.600] You're not able to really function. [01:54.600 --> 01:56.520] The unidentified teenager who was [01:56.520 --> 01:58.280] struck had been walking with a group of [01:58.280 --> 02:00.280] four other kids as they attempted to [02:00.280 --> 02:02.520] cross this intersection of East Washington [02:02.520 --> 02:05.480] and Edith at 12.38 this morning. [02:05.480 --> 02:07.960] The 15-year-old was the first one to try and [02:07.960 --> 02:10.600] cross this orange X you see on the ground [02:10.600 --> 02:13.320] is where he was walking when the car hit him. [02:13.320 --> 02:15.560] There are no stop lights or stop signs [02:15.560 --> 02:17.800] here at this busy intersection but police say [02:17.800 --> 02:20.600] cars in three of the four lanes on this street [02:20.600 --> 02:22.440] stop to let the group cross. [02:22.440 --> 02:24.760] But the suspect driving here in this [02:24.760 --> 02:27.720] four lane apparently didn't see the teenagers [02:27.720 --> 02:31.320] or the other stop traffic and kept on driving. [02:31.320 --> 02:33.320] Here you can see where the victim smashed against [02:33.320 --> 02:35.560] the suspect vehicles front windshield. [02:35.560 --> 02:38.840] The boy was transported by ambulance with a broken leg. [02:38.840 --> 02:40.840] Police say the suspect 20-year-old [02:40.840 --> 02:43.400] Wesley Pickford had a clean driving record [02:43.400 --> 02:44.520] up to this point. [02:44.520 --> 02:46.440] He was booked into the Sonoma County Jail [02:46.440 --> 02:47.880] for felony DUI. [02:47.880 --> 02:50.280] It's a charge which could result in very serious [02:50.280 --> 02:52.120] and expensive consequences. [02:52.120 --> 02:54.920] You know DUI's can run anywhere from [02:54.920 --> 02:58.120] in a legal defense for $10,000 in any time you're talking [02:58.120 --> 03:00.120] about felonies there's a possibility of going to [03:00.120 --> 03:01.320] state prison. [03:01.320 --> 03:03.080] Moreen Kelly, front born news. [03:03.080 --> 03:05.720] A stocked woman is in jail accused of driving [03:05.720 --> 03:08.200] drunk and hitting and killing a pedestrian while [03:08.200 --> 03:10.280] her four children were in the car with her. [03:10.280 --> 03:13.720] Police say the 29-year-old hit the man just outside his home [03:13.720 --> 03:16.280] on New Year's Eve the suspect faces charges of [03:16.280 --> 03:19.000] vehicular manslaughter, felony drunk driving [03:19.000 --> 03:21.080] and endangering her children. [03:21.080 --> 03:23.880] A new law that went into affected a target's repeat [03:23.880 --> 03:27.080] drunk drivers and a California who is convicted of a DUI [03:27.080 --> 03:29.080] three or more times could have their license [03:29.080 --> 03:30.760] suspended for up to 10 years. [03:30.760 --> 03:33.880] That law was created after a San Mateo man was arrested for [03:33.880 --> 03:37.080] his ninth DUI one of the bill's authors in San Mateo [03:37.080 --> 03:39.160] Assemblyman Jerry Hill. [03:39.160 --> 03:41.880] Another new law in San Jose Bands plastic bags [03:41.880 --> 03:45.160] from all stores Craig Sklar shows us what that means [03:45.160 --> 03:49.160] to the average grocery shopper. [03:49.160 --> 03:53.720] No more paper or plastic now it's paper or bring your own. [03:53.720 --> 03:57.160] This saved March story San Jose was ready offering free reusable [03:57.160 --> 04:00.040] canvas bags for early customers to use from now on. [04:00.040 --> 04:01.880] After that you'll have to buy them yourself. [04:01.880 --> 04:04.040] So plastic bags are out, see your choices? [04:04.040 --> 04:06.680] Well you can go paper bags which you got to pay a dime every time you [04:06.680 --> 04:09.880] use one or reusable canvas bag but you got to remember to bring [04:09.880 --> 04:12.520] you with you to the store every time. [04:12.520 --> 04:15.080] Most customers are saying they accept the change in the name of [04:15.080 --> 04:17.640] protecting the environment and the landfills from endless [04:17.640 --> 04:19.400] discarded plastic bags. [04:19.400 --> 04:21.640] That's why San Jose passed a law in the first place. [04:21.640 --> 04:22.760] It's nothing new to me. [04:22.760 --> 04:24.760] I've been using these for a couple of years now. [04:24.760 --> 04:26.760] So snow really biggie to me. [04:26.760 --> 04:29.400] It's better than having those plastic bags [04:29.400 --> 04:33.800] and just going to the creeks in our apartment. [04:33.800 --> 04:35.800] So this is a good way to go. [04:35.800 --> 04:37.000] Some of them are irritated. [04:37.000 --> 04:39.000] They like the convenience of plastic. [04:39.000 --> 04:41.480] They're more handy to me they are a lot of people hate them. [04:41.480 --> 04:42.840] But I don't like that. [04:42.840 --> 04:44.040] I enjoy the best of the best. [04:44.040 --> 04:47.160] Critics say the largest ads cost the businesses and hardship [04:47.160 --> 04:50.520] for customers but some avail and moderate will be joining San Jose [04:50.520 --> 04:53.640] in San Francisco with bands going into effect later this year. [04:53.640 --> 04:55.480] So remember to bring your reusable bag. [04:55.480 --> 04:58.440] It's likely to become a regular part of your shopping life. [04:58.440 --> 05:00.680] In San Jose, Creek Spark run for news. [05:00.680 --> 05:04.600] But Anna Sam the monkey is back home tonight at the San Francisco Zoo [05:04.600 --> 05:06.600] after he was stolen two days ago. [05:06.600 --> 05:10.200] Police say the 17 year old squirrel monkey was found by a man [05:10.200 --> 05:11.160] out in nearby park. [05:11.160 --> 05:14.440] The man lured the pocket size primate into his backpack. [05:14.440 --> 05:16.680] Police are not sure exactly who took the monkey [05:16.680 --> 05:18.840] however the zoo has increased security because [05:18.840 --> 05:21.400] vandals cut two holes in the mesh of the monkey exhibit [05:21.400 --> 05:23.400] to get that monkey out. [05:24.440 --> 05:26.920] He was trembling and hungry last night but I'm [05:26.920 --> 05:30.760] pleased to report that he is in good health and calm today. [05:30.760 --> 05:32.040] He's eating well. [05:32.040 --> 05:32.920] The stool is fine. [05:32.920 --> 05:34.280] He looks to be in great health. [05:34.280 --> 05:37.160] We received a call from the police last night that someone had [05:37.160 --> 05:40.920] called into them and had been able to lure a squirrel monkey back into an [05:40.920 --> 05:42.120] app sack. [05:42.120 --> 05:44.280] Police are still investigating the matter. [05:44.280 --> 05:46.440] All I know is that the call was made from [05:46.440 --> 05:47.560] stern grove. [05:47.560 --> 05:50.840] So allegedly the monkey was found in stern grove. [05:50.840 --> 05:52.760] We were very fearful but we're grateful. [05:52.760 --> 05:54.040] He seems to be in good shape. [05:54.040 --> 05:58.200] He unfortunately is on his own right now as we examine him and we hope we can return [05:58.200 --> 06:01.000] him back to his fellow colleagues here at the exhibit. [06:01.000 --> 06:03.160] How long will he be in quarantine? [06:03.160 --> 06:06.200] You know, to be anywhere up to 30 days depending on how we [06:06.200 --> 06:09.880] response to medical tests we hope it's sooner than that of course though. [06:09.880 --> 06:13.640] Back in 2000, another animal that's stolen from the San Francisco Zoo, [06:13.640 --> 06:17.960] a mother Koala and her baby were taken from their enclosure in 2000. [06:17.960 --> 06:20.120] They were later found in the San Francisco home. [06:20.120 --> 06:21.160] They were okay but hungry. [06:21.160 --> 06:24.360] They had been taken by two teenagers who wanted to give them to their [06:24.360 --> 06:25.880] girlfriend for Christmas. [06:29.480 --> 06:33.560] Or just whether for this first day of 2012 we had mostly sunny skies [06:33.560 --> 06:36.120] and some warm temperatures that made it up into the [06:36.120 --> 06:41.160] 60s and a lot of locations, upper 60s, even 70 degrees for mountain [06:41.160 --> 06:45.800] due today. These readings running about 10 degrees above normal in a lot of [06:45.800 --> 06:50.120] spots around the Bay Area and it's going to remain on the warm side [06:50.120 --> 06:53.480] through this coming week the first week of 2012. [06:53.480 --> 06:56.280] The mild temperatures continue into this evening right now. [06:56.280 --> 06:58.760] Lots of spots checking in in the 50s. [06:58.760 --> 07:00.920] It's 54 degrees in San Francisco as well. [07:00.920 --> 07:06.120] Mountain View San Jose right now 53 and the overnight lows for tonight and [07:06.120 --> 07:09.480] into tomorrow morning will be relatively mild as well. [07:09.480 --> 07:13.080] We're going to see increasing low clouds as we go into tonight [07:13.080 --> 07:16.760] and some valley fog developing for the north bay valleys, [07:16.760 --> 07:20.600] Santa Rosa and Fairfield could see some low visibility for tomorrow morning. [07:20.600 --> 07:24.760] Temperatures not as cold as what we've seen mid 40s, San Francisco and Oakland [07:24.760 --> 07:27.640] cool spots in the north bay into the mid 30s. [07:27.640 --> 07:31.880] Now going through the day we're going to see some high clouds. [07:31.880 --> 07:34.920] Sunshine mixed with the clouds through the day as a weather system [07:34.920 --> 07:36.280] makes us way through the Bay Area. [07:36.280 --> 07:39.000] Any chance for wet weather though is going to stay [07:39.000 --> 07:39.960] two hour north. [07:39.960 --> 07:42.920] Look for high temperatures not quite as warm as what we've seen. [07:42.920 --> 07:46.360] What's still pretty nice upper 50s and low 60s. [07:46.360 --> 07:49.320] I'll talk more about the weather for this first week of 2012. [07:49.320 --> 07:50.360] Coming up, Vicki. [07:50.360 --> 07:53.880] Well, the Oakland Raiders needed a wind today for a chance to get into the [07:53.880 --> 07:55.560] playoffs despite a late push. [07:55.560 --> 07:56.920] They just couldn't get it done. [07:56.920 --> 08:02.280] San Diego charges defeating the Raiders 38 to 26 49ers are already in the [08:02.280 --> 08:03.080] playoffs today. [08:03.080 --> 08:06.920] They played to keep their second seed which means a buy in the first round of the [08:06.920 --> 08:10.040] playoffs, the Niners defeated the St. Louis Rams today. [08:10.040 --> 08:14.200] They will play Saturday, January 14th against either the Falcons, [08:14.200 --> 08:18.280] Giants or Cowboys coming up on front for news at eight. [08:18.280 --> 08:21.480] We look at who the top contenders are to win the Iowa caucus. [08:22.520 --> 08:27.080] San Francisco Skyline will soon change once SF MoMA opens up its new [08:27.080 --> 08:29.720] museum in this location coming up. [08:29.720 --> 08:31.080] We'll show you what it will look like. [08:32.120 --> 08:35.000] And we'll tell you how to get cash from any gift cards you [08:35.000 --> 08:37.000] received this holiday season. [08:37.000 --> 08:39.000] Start your day and four. [08:39.000 --> 08:41.160] Start with us on the platform warning news. [08:43.960 --> 08:47.640] This holiday treats yourself to the gift of driving from Mazda, [08:47.640 --> 08:49.400] a company obsessed with it. [08:49.400 --> 08:53.720] Like the 2012 Mazda 3 with revolutionary sky-active technology, [08:53.720 --> 08:57.400] combining 40 Mazda and highway with uncompromised performance. [08:57.400 --> 09:01.240] We've wrapped up the 2012 Mazda 3 with 1.9% APR for 60 [09:01.240 --> 09:04.280] months for snow payments for 90 days, but only for Giants or a third. [09:04.280 --> 09:07.240] If it's not worth driving, it's not worth building. [09:07.240 --> 09:09.240] We build Mazda's. [09:09.240 --> 09:36.600] What are you driving? [09:36.600 --> 09:41.000] Hurry into the BMW mission to drive sales of it for an up to $2,500 credit for [09:41.000 --> 09:43.400] a new BMW. [09:43.400 --> 09:46.440] I fix up cars to sell them, but make up paints them first. [09:46.440 --> 09:47.640] It increases their value. [09:47.640 --> 09:51.480] Hmm, maybe I should go to makeo instead of trading in my old SUV. [09:51.480 --> 09:53.160] They were great after my accident. [09:53.160 --> 09:55.960] Yes, makeo restores the color and the shine. [09:55.960 --> 09:56.920] It'll look almost new. [09:56.920 --> 09:59.880] So I went to makeo and sold my car for top dollar. [09:59.880 --> 10:00.680] Naturally. [10:00.680 --> 10:02.600] Act now and you can save too. [10:02.600 --> 10:06.680] Makeos most popular paint services now have price, that's right, have price, [10:06.680 --> 10:08.200] now only $2.99. [10:08.200 --> 10:10.680] Come in today, you don't want to miss our half price sale, [10:10.680 --> 10:12.600] whatever your uh oh, better get makeo. [10:15.000 --> 10:18.440] I'm a way on a movie shoot and it hasn't been going exactly as planned. [10:19.160 --> 10:20.440] Shot shot. [10:20.440 --> 10:22.600] I thought we'd be on location for three days. [10:22.600 --> 10:24.040] It's been three weeks. [10:24.040 --> 10:26.120] So I had to pick up some more things. [10:26.120 --> 10:28.360] Good thing I've got the city simplicity car. [10:28.360 --> 10:30.840] I don't get hit with a fee if I'm late with a payment. [10:30.840 --> 10:32.600] Which is good because on this job. [10:34.200 --> 10:36.200] No, bigger. [10:36.200 --> 10:37.960] I am happy home for a while. [10:37.960 --> 10:41.800] The new city simplicity card, no late fees, no penalty rate, no worries. [10:46.360 --> 10:50.440] Now to decision 2012, a final push from the Republican presidential candidates [10:50.440 --> 10:53.320] before the Iowa caucus and was only two days to go. [10:53.320 --> 10:56.280] A new poll suggests wrongly and wrongly. [10:56.280 --> 10:58.840] And Ron Paul will battle it out for the top spot. [10:58.840 --> 11:01.400] Barbara Hall shows us where the candidates are stumping today. [11:03.160 --> 11:08.760] A political fight to the finish line before the first real voting of the 2012 presidential race. [11:08.760 --> 11:12.760] The latest Des Moines Register poll shows Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, [11:12.760 --> 11:16.600] Neck and Neck. Paul says his campaign is picking up momentum. [11:16.600 --> 11:21.800] We're doing very, very well and uh people should just uh be a little bit patient. [11:21.800 --> 11:25.160] You know, in Tuesday we're going to find out a lot more about the future of this election. [11:25.160 --> 11:28.840] Rival Mitt Romney is narrowly leading among caucus goers. [11:28.840 --> 11:33.880] On Sunday he picked up another endorsement from Iowa newspaper The Quad City Times. [11:33.880 --> 11:38.840] Former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania rounded out the top three in the poll. [11:38.840 --> 11:41.160] My surge is going to come on January 3nd. [11:41.160 --> 11:45.480] After the people of Iowa do what they do, which is actually analyze the candidates, [11:45.480 --> 11:50.040] figure out where their positions are, find out who's the right leader, who's got the [11:50.040 --> 11:53.320] what it takes to defeat Barack Obama and to lead this country. [11:53.320 --> 11:55.480] Iowa's governor seems to agree. [11:55.480 --> 11:57.160] My goal is as governor. [11:57.160 --> 12:03.080] United the Republican Party attract the independence and defeat Obama. [12:03.080 --> 12:04.840] We launched him, we want to thank him. [12:04.840 --> 12:08.920] Also on the campaign trail Sunday, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and Michelle Bachman's [12:08.920 --> 12:12.840] Stumping in Iowa, while John Huntsman focuses on New Hampshire, [12:12.840 --> 12:15.880] which votes a week after the Iowa caucus. [12:15.880 --> 12:18.600] Barbara Hall, Kron 4 News. [12:18.600 --> 12:21.080] The rush to tie the knot in paradise. [12:21.080 --> 12:25.720] Coming up, we'll show you the first same-sex civil unions now official in Hawaii. [12:26.520 --> 12:28.840] A storm system offshore for tonight. [12:28.840 --> 12:30.200] It's headed toward the West Coast. [12:30.200 --> 12:52.120] We've got lots of great deals on a new set of wheels, so let the saving begin. [13:00.200 --> 13:12.520] One day for sale of the year. [13:12.520 --> 13:15.240] Secondhand smoke affects everyone's health. [13:15.240 --> 13:16.440] It's not just irritating. [13:18.680 --> 13:20.680] It can cause heart disease and even death. [13:24.040 --> 13:26.440] Speak up about secondhand smoke. [13:26.440 --> 13:46.680] Your health and the health of your family depend on it. [13:48.040 --> 13:51.160] The 2012 Chevy crews with the no-one gets left behind feature, [13:51.160 --> 13:58.680] or as it's more formerly known, voluntary space than Civic or Corolla. [13:58.680 --> 14:00.520] The 2012 Chevy crews are very well qualified to assist in signing drive a 2012 cruise LS for around [14:00.520 --> 14:01.880] $199 a month. [14:01.880 --> 14:03.560] Hurry, offerings January 3rd. [14:08.120 --> 14:10.520] It's called The Munchy Mobile. [14:10.520 --> 14:14.040] I built it to give people a taste of my newly revamped classics. [14:14.040 --> 14:17.000] I've got a hundred percent beef patty that's seasoned well with cooks. [14:17.000 --> 14:20.920] It makes my jumbo jack ultimate cheeseburger and sourdough jack better than it. [14:20.920 --> 14:22.440] Real tasty. [14:22.440 --> 14:24.200] Pretty easy good and sane. [14:24.200 --> 14:24.840] It's good. [14:24.840 --> 14:27.000] Really, really good. [14:27.000 --> 14:29.000] Juicy is a f**k. [14:34.600 --> 14:38.920] If a new Honda isn't sitting in your driveway by now, then perhaps I failed to convey the proper [14:38.920 --> 14:41.320] sense of urgency, huge dramatic music. [14:41.320 --> 14:43.720] In a short time, happy Honda days will be over, [14:43.720 --> 14:46.440] more dramatic, taking with it your chance to get one of the most [14:46.440 --> 14:52.520] equitable deals all year on a Honda. [14:52.520 --> 14:56.280] They're still time, but it's running out. [14:56.280 --> 14:58.280] Show off a card. [14:58.280 --> 14:59.880] Quit reading the fine friend. [14:59.880 --> 15:00.680] It's a great deal. [15:00.680 --> 15:02.360] Get your Honda deal wrong. [15:04.760 --> 15:08.360] History was made in Hawaii today after the stroke of midnight. [15:08.360 --> 15:13.000] Several same-sex couples took advantage of a new law that allows civil unions. [15:13.000 --> 15:14.920] Dick Algire was there for the celebration. [15:14.920 --> 15:21.800] We now pronounce that you are nearly as partners in life. [15:25.800 --> 15:32.840] After midnight, in the opening moments of 2012, the first civil unions became official in Honolulu. [15:32.840 --> 15:36.120] The event was held at a beautiful private home in Ainahina. [15:36.120 --> 15:42.120] It was organized by a number of gay, lesbian, and transgender activists and support groups. [15:42.120 --> 15:44.520] The celebration began on New Year's Eve. [15:44.520 --> 15:48.200] There was a party, a recognition ceremony to honor those who have fought [15:48.200 --> 15:52.360] for civil unions for so many years and then the union. [15:52.360 --> 15:56.520] Without beginning or end, they civilized eternity. [15:56.520 --> 16:00.280] Reversed from local churches presided over the civil unions. [16:00.280 --> 16:05.160] The couple said they wanted their unions to become official as soon as possible. [16:05.160 --> 16:10.440] We really don't want to wait any longer because we have been together for 33 years, [16:10.440 --> 16:18.040] waiting for the opportunity and our rights and everything that goes with them. [16:20.040 --> 16:27.080] The historic part of it for me is that to be one of the first to open that door so that the rest [16:27.080 --> 16:32.200] of them after us, you know, there's others out there that want to do this and they can show them, [16:32.200 --> 16:36.920] you know, we can show them, you know, hey, you love somebody, you have the right to be with them [16:36.920 --> 16:41.960] in the rest of your life or so. They say the official recognition is important. [16:41.960 --> 16:48.760] It means that our state supports us and that's a really good feeling after all this time [16:48.760 --> 16:53.080] and it'll be that much easier for those to come after us. [16:53.960 --> 16:57.240] And they have a message to other same-sex couples. [16:57.240 --> 17:03.000] Our message is, um, both for the gusto, like they say in Hawaii, go for broke. [17:03.000 --> 17:09.800] Um, don't be ashamed. Hawaii is not the only state allowing same-sex unions, [17:09.800 --> 17:13.480] Delaware, saw 400 people tie the knot today. Thanks to there, you know. [17:18.280 --> 17:21.560] Well, here's the view from Twin Peaks this afternoon for San Francisco. [17:21.560 --> 17:27.320] This January 1st, 2012, a beautiful day, mostly sunny skies in the temperature in San Francisco, [17:27.320 --> 17:34.760] up to 61 degrees. So we're starting off dry and warm. And that's the way it's been lately around [17:34.760 --> 17:38.040] here right now. Live San Francisco, looking at the embarqueter on, by the way. [17:38.760 --> 17:44.760] This very shot last night on Cronford, been night of beautiful fireworks display over the city. [17:44.760 --> 17:47.160] And we have some more nice weather to talk about for tonight. [17:47.160 --> 17:53.160] Temperatures in the 50s right now. It is mild ocean beach 53 degrees, Berkeley at 54. [17:53.160 --> 17:58.600] Pittsburgh and Petaluma cooler, but still not too bad in the mid-40s. Here's the Santa [17:58.600 --> 18:05.000] Lightview. And we have a weather system offshore for tonight. This system though, like, we've [18:05.000 --> 18:10.120] seen so much of lately is going to stay to the north. That's where all of the rain is going to be. [18:10.120 --> 18:15.240] We're going to see some cloudiness out of this for tomorrow. So as we go through the night tonight, [18:15.240 --> 18:20.440] look for the clouds to increase. We'll wake up to mostly cloudy skies for tomorrow morning. [18:20.440 --> 18:25.720] And then look for partly sunny skies in the afternoon. So it'll be a mixture of sunshine [18:25.720 --> 18:30.680] and high thin clouds in this dry weather. We've seen it's going to stick around at least [18:30.680 --> 18:37.080] through next weekend. So no relief inside from this spell of rain free days. [18:37.080 --> 18:41.560] Here's future cast midnight tonight. And we'll watch the clouds increase as we go through [18:41.560 --> 18:46.520] the overnight hours. There it comes. All of the rain up here around Eureka to the north of [18:46.520 --> 18:51.480] Yukaya. There originally was a chance for showers around Santa Rosa. But that is now out of the [18:51.480 --> 18:55.880] forecast. Look for clouds in the morning, partly sunny afternoon. And then the clouds will [18:55.880 --> 19:01.480] clear out for tomorrow night. And as far as the rainfall totals go for December, one of the [19:01.480 --> 19:06.840] dryest December's on record Oakland, San Jose and Santa Rosa picking up less than a tenth of an [19:06.840 --> 19:12.680] inch for the entire month. Typically, we see much more than that. And a lot of locations around the [19:12.680 --> 19:18.200] Bay Area. It was the second dryest December on record. Now for tomorrow morning, cloudy skies, [19:18.200 --> 19:22.920] mostly cloudy could see some fog here in the north Bay Valley's Fairfield Santa Rosa mid to upper [19:22.920 --> 19:28.520] 30s, low to mid 40s by the bay with highs in the afternoon, not quite as warm because of the cloud [19:28.520 --> 19:36.920] cover of her 50s and low 60s. And looking ahead at the next seven days, this first week of 2012. [19:36.920 --> 19:42.280] Well, it's looking pretty nice. We're going to see dry conditions once again. And morning [19:42.280 --> 19:46.840] fog afternoon, sunshine through much of this week. And continued warm temperatures, [19:46.840 --> 19:52.280] mid to upper 60s for Tuesday and Wednesday. There's a system coming by for Thursday. All the rain [19:52.280 --> 19:56.280] stays to the north with that one as well. And dry weather through next weekend. [19:56.280 --> 20:00.920] Okay. Make them and break them. Seems to be the theme for many of us who make promises [20:00.920 --> 20:05.320] for the new year, only to stumble weeks later. But as Karen Cape tells us in this week's [20:05.320 --> 20:15.880] clicked in, your smartphone could be your resolution solution. Out with old habits in with the new. [20:15.880 --> 20:23.720] I'm going to join a gym and become more active. I'm going to try to drink more water because [20:23.720 --> 20:30.280] I drink too much diet soda. New years resolutions are easy to make and even easier to break. Have [20:30.280 --> 20:34.600] you guys ever had a resolution that you didn't quite stick with. Yes. Oh, what was that? Going to die. [20:35.720 --> 20:39.640] It was a stop fighting when else. But then they're worked out. So what if you had a reminder [20:39.640 --> 20:45.480] in your pocket every day? That's the goal of smartphone apps like Resolutions 2012, [20:45.480 --> 20:51.080] which lets users choose goals. Identify habits they need to change to meet them and track [20:51.080 --> 20:56.760] progress. Weight loss is a popular resolution each year. The daily burn app for iPhone [20:56.760 --> 21:02.520] manages workouts and calorie counts. The new weight loss app for Android gives day-by-day tips [21:02.520 --> 21:07.800] on eating, working out, and slimming down. The My Quick Coach app from Liv Strong is for those [21:07.800 --> 21:12.760] who want to kick butts in 2012. The app presents daily guidelines for quitting smoking [21:12.760 --> 21:18.760] gradually over time or helping you go cold turkey. The Quitter app for iPhone tallies how much [21:18.760 --> 21:24.120] money you've saved since putting down your last cigarette. And keeping a resolution can require [21:24.120 --> 21:29.320] a support system. I want to try to eat healthier. We got to be a role model and show them [21:29.320 --> 21:34.760] warm. How to eat healthy. Try posting your goal on social media so connections can share [21:34.760 --> 21:41.640] you on. I'm Karen Ketha and you're now clicked in. Making more room for art in the city. [21:41.640 --> 21:58.840] Coming up, we're going to show you the bigger better brand new redesign for SFOMA. [22:11.640 --> 22:41.480] It's the perfect time to find great deals on the 4G LTE devices you love. [22:41.640 --> 22:44.840] Like the Joyed Bionic by Motorola for $1.9999. [22:49.400 --> 22:55.800] Or the PanTech breakout for $49.99, our lowest price ever. Get the technology you love on the [22:55.800 --> 23:01.800] network you deserve. And for limited time, get twice the data for the same low price. Various. [23:04.040 --> 23:09.800] This holiday treats yourself to the gift of driving from Mazda, a company obsessed with it, [23:09.800 --> 23:17.640] like the spacious Mazda 6 sports sedan. The 5 passenger Mazda CX7 and the 7 passenger Mazda CX9. [23:17.640 --> 23:22.760] We've wrapped up these Mazda's with 0% APR for 60 months, but snow payments for 90 days, [23:22.760 --> 23:29.240] but only through January 3. If it's not worth driving, it's not worth building. We build Mazda's. [23:29.240 --> 23:36.440] What do you drive? It's not sound sound. I'd like to think I'm a smart guy and can handle any situation. [23:36.440 --> 23:40.600] But when a drunk driver told him my motorcycle, my friend insisted that I call attorney [23:40.600 --> 23:46.680] Nilkavara first before I called my insurance company. Because even your own insurance company can [23:46.680 --> 23:52.600] and will use what you tell them against you. Nilkavara's 35 plus years of experience paid off. [23:52.600 --> 23:57.160] I didn't know him as sent till he settled my case and he got me a lot more money than the insurance [23:57.160 --> 24:10.120] company offered. Calling attorney Nilkavara was definitely the smart choice. [24:10.120 --> 24:17.400] Maybe we should head back to the dealership first. [24:17.400 --> 24:21.400] This is a test drive. It's practically yours, but we still need your signature. [24:21.400 --> 24:25.640] Volkswagen signed and drive is back and it's never been easier to get a jet. That's the power [24:25.640 --> 24:30.120] of German engineer. It's 0-first-month payment, 0-down, 0-secreted deposit, and 0-due signing [24:30.120 --> 24:42.760] on any new Volkswagen. Visit www.vgdlid.com for news, your source for the most local news in the Bay Area. From people you know, people you trust, relentless coverage during [24:42.760 --> 24:47.160] breaking news. The report is the Bay Area's news station. [24:49.400 --> 24:53.240] Now, time for the call on Ford Tech Report with Gabe Slate. [24:53.240 --> 24:59.960] I'm Matt SFO. I've been talking to travelers about this issue. Most people I talk to were unaware of it. [24:59.960 --> 25:04.680] But they did have a reaction to that more on that later. First, here's what's going on. [25:04.680 --> 25:09.960] Google has launched an online flight fair-finder service. You can find it at google.com [25:09.960 --> 25:15.560] backslash flights. It's their version of Expedia, Orbits, Travelocity, or Kayak. [25:15.560 --> 25:21.400] You just put in the cities you want to fly to and from, and Google lists out the prices of that flight. [25:21.400 --> 25:25.800] They compare the airlines to find you the cheapest ticket. If you click on those ticket prices, [25:25.800 --> 25:30.760] you're taking directly to the airlines website to purchase the tickets. I thought the service was [25:30.760 --> 25:35.880] great. I found it really fast and easy to use. But here's the problem. Now, the Google has an online [25:35.880 --> 25:40.600] travel service. It puts Google in direct competition with sites like Expedia, Hotwire, [25:40.600 --> 25:45.960] Travelocity, Orbits, Kayak, and Priceline. And those websites are claiming that when you do a [25:45.960 --> 25:51.880] basic search for travel on google.com, something like flights from San Francisco to New York, [25:51.880 --> 25:58.680] Google puts its flights fair service higher within the results than the other online travel websites. [25:58.680 --> 26:03.160] Before Google offered their new service, sites like Orbits, and Expedia would be up at the top of the [26:03.160 --> 26:08.760] results. These middlemen online travel sites depend on some of their traffic coming from generic [26:08.760 --> 26:14.200] travel searches through Google's search site. So, they're upset and feel it's unfair that they [26:14.200 --> 26:19.480] have been pushed down in the list of results. In a statement, Google sent to me, they said this. [26:19.480 --> 26:24.600] Like any other partner, Google needs to honor the airline's distribution decisions with the flight [26:24.600 --> 26:30.360] search feature. That means we currently can only show airlines in the booking links. We're exploring [26:30.360 --> 26:35.960] advertising opportunities within the page to showcase other partners. So, it sounds like Google will [26:35.960 --> 26:40.520] try to make it a little more fair for their competitors in the near future. This could turn into [26:40.520 --> 26:45.240] a department of justice anti-trust issue. There could be a big lawn and drawn out lawsuit [26:45.240 --> 26:49.800] left away and see how this shakes out. Here at SFO, I talked to travelers about all of this and [26:49.800 --> 26:54.600] several people brought up a good point. People who use kayak orbits, expedient, travel [26:54.600 --> 27:00.040] acidity, these types of sites often, they just go to those websites to do their travel shopping. [27:00.040 --> 27:04.760] They don't find those sites through a Google search. So, they'll just keep doing what they're doing [27:04.760 --> 27:10.760] unaffected. Google fair finders just now, another of the dozen online travel tools that they can [27:10.760 --> 27:16.120] use, Gabe Slate, Cronford News. Could this agreement or Delta be another could treat a [27:16.120 --> 27:20.200] light flood in the making coming up for you to see why experts are worried about a possible breach [27:20.200 --> 27:25.320] in the Delta levies. Plus, we'll get a look at the new design for San Francisco's Modern Art Museum. [27:25.320 --> 27:32.040] Start your day and forth. Start with us on the Cloud Ball Morning News. [27:33.880 --> 27:41.800] Crews do whether a tort wrong. Again, and again, and again, [27:41.800 --> 27:52.040] extra time and television all we'll drive. Now, on 26 BMW models, including the 528-i [27:52.040 --> 27:59.560] X-rives sedan, hurry into the BMW mission drive salesman for an up to $2500 credit for the new [27:59.560 --> 28:06.360] BMW. If you think identity theft is scary, just wait until you try to fix it. [28:06.360 --> 28:12.840] Fifty-eight different individuals are using, absolutely using my old social security number. [28:13.560 --> 28:17.800] Identity theft has topped the federal government's list of consumer complaints for the last [28:17.800 --> 28:23.320] E-11 years. It's a serious problem with anyone with a social security number and it continues to [28:23.320 --> 28:28.760] get worse.

[30:02.360 --> 30:06.840] Federal authorities say they sent fighter jets to check out a plane headed to the bay area this [30:06.840 --> 30:11.560] morning. That flight was going to Oakland from Santa Monica. The FAA says that air traffic [30:11.560 --> 30:17.560] controllers lost radio contact with the plane near Ventura. They sent the jets as a precaution. [30:17.560 --> 30:21.000] Air traffic controllers eventually got into contact with the plane and the jets were called [30:21.000 --> 30:25.960] off that plane landed in Oakland without incident. Oakland police are still searching for the [30:25.960 --> 30:30.200] person who shot and killed a five-year-old Friday night. Now they're offering a reward. [30:30.200 --> 30:35.000] Gabriel Martinez Jr. was with his family at the taco truck that they own on International [30:35.000 --> 30:39.960] Boulevard Police say that the suspect ordered a taco, started eating, then just started shooting. [30:39.960 --> 30:43.640] Gabriel was hit in the stomach. Police do not know why the man opened fire there, [30:43.640 --> 30:48.840] teaming up with the prime stoppers to offer a $25,000 reward for his arrest. [30:48.840 --> 30:53.240] There are several new laws that go into effect today, Crown 4's Alejandra Sarabal, [30:53.240 --> 30:58.840] tells us what to expect. California employers will no longer use the federal [30:58.840 --> 31:04.440] e-verify program to determine the eligibility of employees to work in the U.S. unless it's [31:04.440 --> 31:10.520] required by federal law. And employers will be banned from requesting consumer credit reports [31:10.520 --> 31:15.880] to evaluate employees unless the position they're applying for meets certain criteria. [31:15.880 --> 31:20.360] The students who enter the country illegally will be eligible to receive [31:20.360 --> 31:25.400] private financial aid at public colleges. Now when it comes to your car, [31:25.400 --> 31:31.240] it can't be impounded at a sobriety checkpoint if the only offense is not having a valid [31:31.240 --> 31:38.520] license. Now starting January 1st, you can register to vote online and it will be illegal to [31:38.520 --> 31:44.440] sell trade and distribute shark fins. Alejandra Sarabal, corn for news. [31:48.040 --> 31:54.200] Well, we have new laws for 2012 with the same weather pattern here as we had last year in 2011, [31:54.200 --> 31:59.240] very dry and sunny. Now for tonight, clear skies over the bay, but there are some clouds [31:59.240 --> 32:03.880] beginning to develop at the coast and those clouds are forecast to move into the bay overnight [32:03.880 --> 32:08.280] tonight. So for tomorrow morning, it's going to be a mostly cloudy start with some fog and [32:08.280 --> 32:13.080] to the north bay valleys visibility could be limited at times. As we go through the day, [32:13.080 --> 32:17.080] we're catching the tail end of a weather system. That's going to produce some clouds, [32:17.080 --> 32:21.080] but it'll be a mixture of sunshine and some high clouds for the afternoon, [32:21.080 --> 32:24.920] row rain expected from this weather system, at least not here in the bay area. [32:24.920 --> 32:30.680] Temperature wise, 6 a.m. 30's coolest valleys, north and east, 40's by the bay. [32:30.680 --> 32:34.760] And as we get into the afternoon, because of the cloud cover, the temperatures will not be [32:34.760 --> 32:40.520] quite as mild as what we had today. So look for highs in the offer 50's in blue and some [32:40.520 --> 32:45.240] lower 60's in the green for the south bay. In the Sierra today, here's Lake Tahoe. [32:45.240 --> 32:51.480] Heavenly lots of sunshine, temperatures here today in the mid 50's and we're going to see more [32:51.480 --> 32:56.680] warm weather continue for the next few days. It'll be cloudy for Monday, Tuesday, sunny, [32:56.680 --> 33:02.360] possibly some record highs in the mid 50's and the dry weather continues for this week. [33:02.360 --> 33:05.400] I'll talk more about the forecast coming up in a few minutes, speaking. [33:05.400 --> 33:09.720] All right, Brian. Well, with the winter rains yet to come. It's hard to imagine that this was the [33:09.720 --> 33:16.120] scene in the Delta just five years ago, 2006 came in with a huge storm that sent the [33:16.120 --> 33:21.000] Sacramento River, spilling its banks, flooding thousands of acres and hundreds of homes. [33:21.000 --> 33:25.240] Now state planners are warning that more than the levees are substandard. And without [33:25.240 --> 33:30.280] billions of dollars of repairs, they represent a danger to lives, agriculture, and drinking [33:30.280 --> 33:33.560] water supplies. Cronford's Catherine Heenan has details. [33:34.360 --> 33:38.920] The damage was easily visible from space. You can see the Sacramento River spread out [33:38.920 --> 33:43.160] over the surrounding countryside. The warnings have been coming in for years. [33:43.160 --> 33:46.600] There are two kinds of levees. Those that have failed, those that will fail. [33:46.600 --> 33:52.200] Now the state has released its first comprehensive plan for fixing the aging flood control system. [33:52.200 --> 33:56.520] There are about 1,500 miles of levees in the Sacramento River Basin, [33:56.520 --> 34:02.040] more than half are classified as higher concern. The report was commissioned after the hurricane [34:02.040 --> 34:07.000] Katrina disaster. It says that New Orleans is now protected from the kind of flood [34:07.000 --> 34:14.200] that could come once in 250 years. St. Louis is protected from a once in 500 years storm. [34:14.200 --> 34:20.760] For Sacramento, it's a once in 85-year storm. Fixing all of that will take money, of course. [34:20.760 --> 34:24.680] Five years ago, voters approved a $5 billion bond measure [34:24.680 --> 34:29.800] about half the money has been spent bringing the levees system into the 21st century. [34:29.800 --> 34:57.080] The latest estimate, another $12 billion will be needed to finish the job. The central valley flood protection board has until June to approve that plan. A Georgia woman says that her two brothers successfully escaped from Alcatraz years ago. Marie Anglin wideners says that her brothers are two of the three men credited with the only escape from Alcatraz. She says that they robbed in Alabama Bank with a toy gun back in 1958. They were captured. [34:57.080 --> 35:02.680] But kept trying to escape from prison, so they were sent to Alcatraz. She believes that there's still a live today. [35:03.880 --> 35:11.880] The only reason they put them in Alcatraz was because they could not keep them anywhere else to put them. They kept getting away. [35:11.880 --> 35:13.880] We're not there, okay? [35:13.880 --> 35:20.280] Why in your plans to come to San Francisco to mark the 50th anniversary of their escape this summer? [35:20.280 --> 35:24.520] The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is moving ahead with its expansion plans. [35:24.520 --> 35:28.520] Here is a picture of before and after the expansion. [35:28.520 --> 35:32.120] While the planning commission has already approved the environmental impact report, [35:32.120 --> 35:36.920] Cronford's Regicumar shows people the new face of downtown San Francisco. [35:36.920 --> 35:43.000] As of Momma officials tell Cronford when they first moved into the current facilities in 1995, [35:43.000 --> 35:50.200] the museum housed 12,000 works. Since then, the collection has doubled in size and attendance has tripled. [35:50.200 --> 35:55.240] That's why the new gallery is needed. It will be constructed between Minna and Howard Streets [35:55.240 --> 35:59.720] and connect to the rear of the museum. Officials say once the new buildings open, [35:59.720 --> 36:06.920] they will have 130,000 square feet of space to enhance exhibits and expand educational programs. [36:06.920 --> 36:13.320] One of the architects said the design response to the unique physical and urban terrain of San Francisco. [36:13.320 --> 36:16.200] Some have mixed feelings about how it's going to look. [36:16.200 --> 36:21.720] The first time I looked for the museum, I imagined it to be unique building. [36:21.720 --> 36:25.400] It didn't really stand out the first time. I had to ask people and they were like, [36:25.400 --> 36:28.600] oh, it's my idea across the street. I was like, oh, okay, really? [36:28.600 --> 36:33.240] So I think, as a tourist from far away, and I was seeing this building [36:33.240 --> 36:37.720] immediately, I thought you guys, oh, yeah, it's the museum for the modern arts. [36:37.720 --> 36:40.520] It's not exactly the most beautiful building, but I've ever seen, [36:40.520 --> 36:43.800] but San Francisco's known for stepping outside of the box a little bit. [36:43.800 --> 36:46.200] So I don't think it's a horrible addition. [36:46.200 --> 36:51.640] If all goes as planned, the new museum will open up behind the existing one in 2016. [36:51.640 --> 36:58.040] The price tag 555 million dollars, nearly all of the funding is being raised through a [36:58.040 --> 37:04.360] private endowment. This is not a city or state funded project in San Francisco, [37:04.360 --> 37:08.840] Regicum our Cron for News. Warning, if you can't put your creditors coming up, [37:08.840 --> 37:11.880] we're going to introduce you to one guy who ended up in jail. [37:11.880 --> 37:15.880] That is even after he worked out a payment plan with the bill collector, [37:15.880 --> 37:20.040] but if you're short on cash, we'll show you one way to pull money out of your unwanted gift cards.

[37:44.440 --> 37:51.720] Thousands of American workers are building the world's largest fleet of an amazing aircraft. [37:51.720 --> 38:02.600] The Emirates Boeing, Triple 7. It's the aircraft of tomorrow. Arriving slightly ahead of schedule. [38:06.040 --> 38:06.840] Fly Emirates. [38:08.440 --> 38:11.480] Now that Christmas is over, it's a great time to come by, [38:11.480 --> 38:14.920] because it's by one get one for you and everything in the store. [38:14.920 --> 38:20.440] Jeans, dress shirts, even suits, everything you want if a Christmas but didn't get. [38:20.440 --> 38:23.160] You don't like the way you look, I guarantee it. [38:23.800 --> 38:25.400] Holidays were meant for family. [38:26.600 --> 38:29.960] Jeep Grand Cherokee is the most awarded SUV ever. [38:31.160 --> 38:37.000] Jeep Compass hits up the 29 MPG highway and the Jeep Wrangler has an all-new power train [38:37.000 --> 38:39.640] with improved performance and fuel economy. [38:39.640 --> 38:42.440] Seasons greetings from our family to yours. [38:43.000 --> 38:46.280] Hurry in, the year's best deals and January 3rd.

[39:33.960 --> 39:38.840] The Kansas man is paying a stiff price for furniture he bought back in 2008. [39:38.840 --> 39:42.120] He didn't pay his credit card bills and wound up in jail. [39:42.120 --> 39:45.960] And now he's warning others to pay attention when creditors take legal action. [39:45.960 --> 39:47.080] Mary Snow has more. [39:48.680 --> 39:54.600] For 57-year-old James Davis of Kansas, using a credit card to buy this computer in some furniture, [39:54.600 --> 39:57.080] it's haunting him in ways he never imagined. [39:57.080 --> 40:02.680] In 2008, when the economy went south, Davis lost his job and fell behind on bills. [40:02.680 --> 40:07.880] The creditor took him to court. Davis admits he didn't show up and a bench warrant was issued. [40:07.880 --> 40:12.200] But he says he thought he rectified the situation by reaching a pay plan agreement, [40:12.200 --> 40:14.360] until he was arrested in January. [40:14.360 --> 40:17.400] I was confused. Of course, I was humiliated. [40:21.000 --> 40:24.120] Somewhat, uh, men on this road, I guess you could say. [40:24.760 --> 40:29.640] Davis spent several hours in jail before getting out on $250 bond. [40:29.640 --> 40:33.080] But he's now suing for unfair debt collection practices. [40:33.080 --> 40:37.080] The creditor refutes that in illegal response to the suit, writing, [40:37.080 --> 40:41.480] the bench warrant was not issued for failure to make payments on the payment plan, [40:41.480 --> 40:44.840] but was issued for civil contempt for disobeying court orders. [40:45.640 --> 40:49.800] Outside of this case, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says, [40:49.800 --> 40:54.760] there are others where people in debt are not aware that creditors are taking them to court [40:54.760 --> 40:57.560] and wind up arrested for not meeting a court date. [40:57.560 --> 41:01.400] It's a chain reaction that begins when they fail to pay their bills. [41:01.400 --> 41:05.080] You know, Illinois, and unfortunately, my understanding is in other states in this country. [41:05.080 --> 41:09.960] There are people who are being put into prison right now because they're poor, essentially. [41:09.960 --> 41:15.080] Madigan says there are no hard numbers, and these kinds of cases are on track nationwide. [41:15.080 --> 41:17.480] But she worries about complaint she's received. [41:17.480 --> 41:20.600] A lot of it, it stems from what's known as debt bind. [41:20.600 --> 41:24.200] So their debt buyers out there who are purchasing debt, [41:24.200 --> 41:29.320] and then again, they're using terribly aggressive and illegal, you know, tactics to collect it. [41:30.120 --> 41:33.000] But a trade group representing debt collectors says, [41:33.000 --> 41:36.040] going to court to collect debt is a last resort. [41:36.040 --> 41:40.440] And the spokesman disputes the claim that people are going to jail for their debt. [41:40.440 --> 41:43.080] Detters prisons are illegal in the United States. [41:43.080 --> 41:47.240] And so we're not seeing a return to debters prisons. [41:47.240 --> 41:50.520] What we are seeing is that somebody who owes a debt. [41:51.400 --> 41:55.240] And after many, many attempts to try to collect that debt, [41:55.240 --> 41:58.760] the creditor or the collector has taken the consumer to court. [41:58.760 --> 42:02.760] James Davis has a warning for others who have on paid bills. [42:02.760 --> 42:06.600] If you have proper notice from a creditor. [42:08.440 --> 42:15.720] And they are attempting to take you to court over that debt to pay very, very close attention to it. [42:15.720 --> 42:21.080] In response to complaints, the federal trade commission says it's been encouraging states [42:21.080 --> 42:26.120] to make sure that consumers are notified if they are supposed to appear in court. [42:26.680 --> 42:28.680] Mary Snow, CNN. New York.

[45:27.560 --> 45:32.040] If you find yourself along Highway 17 in Las Gattas, there's a really cool, [45:32.040 --> 45:37.320] new, old roadhouse effect. It was a stage coach stop among other things. [45:37.320 --> 45:40.040] Follow me! I guess I could saddle up to the bar. [45:40.040 --> 45:44.520] Yes, he certainly could. Have yourself a wonderful beer, handcrafted. [45:44.520 --> 45:46.040] And just happening, we ready for me. [45:46.040 --> 45:51.720] So Mark Edwards, proprietor of cats, restaurant and tavern. [45:51.720 --> 45:53.640] Yes? What's old is new again? [45:53.640 --> 46:00.120] My goal really was to keep it simple yet have the best barbecue you could ever have. [46:00.120 --> 46:06.920] We have brought in a seven-time world champion BBQ chef, Paul Kirk. [46:06.920 --> 46:11.160] A lot of the chefs will say, Hickory calls of because it gives you that flavor. [46:11.160 --> 46:12.200] All right, let's check it out. [46:12.200 --> 46:16.680] And then we'll throw this piece of wood here in the fire box. [46:18.040 --> 46:20.040] And the smoking begins. [46:20.040 --> 46:21.080] That's quite a good idea. [46:21.080 --> 46:24.360] It gives you the flavor that you would not believe. [46:24.360 --> 46:30.200] That right in here is our upstairs banquet room featuring our 300-year-old bar. [46:30.200 --> 46:32.600] Wow, so what's up with all these guns here? [46:32.600 --> 46:37.640] Well, it is an old stage coach stop. So, you know, we thought how appropriate [46:37.640 --> 46:40.920] but for the cowboys to leave their guns here at the bar. [46:40.920 --> 46:45.640] Let the cowboy left this one. He'll be back in a week to pick it up. [46:47.000 --> 46:49.240] Is it true? This was once a cat house? [46:49.240 --> 46:54.920] So spoken, yes, I believe so. I've heard that from numerous sources. [46:54.920 --> 47:02.360] If these walls could talk, smoke chicken ribs or pulled pork all under $20 in Las Gattas, [47:02.360 --> 47:04.520] Ficcila Viacca's Cron for News. [47:08.520 --> 47:12.200] Well, apparently not just great food but great entertainment there as well. [47:12.200 --> 47:17.400] Hacy's skies from Twin Peaks today looking across San Francisco with temperatures [47:17.400 --> 47:21.080] made it up to the low 60s in Frank, our photographer, saying the most people [47:21.080 --> 47:25.560] he's ever seen up there at Twin Peaks enjoying the view today on this new year's day. [47:25.560 --> 47:27.400] Right now live Golden Gate Bridge. [47:27.400 --> 47:33.800] Temperatures still mild right now. Most places checking in in the 50s but it is a little bit cooler [47:33.800 --> 47:40.920] for Walnut Creek and Fairfield right now at 44 degrees. San Jose currently 53. [47:40.920 --> 47:45.400] Now, we do have a weather system that's rolling in for tonight. [47:45.400 --> 47:51.160] This should increase clouds for tomorrow. But once again, no chance for rain in the bay area. [47:51.160 --> 47:55.720] This pattern of dry weather will continue. All the way, it started in November, [47:55.720 --> 48:00.920] December, one of the dryest on record and we're starting out January looking very dry as well. [48:00.920 --> 48:06.120] So for tomorrow morning, look for areas of low clouds and fog for the North Bay valleys. [48:06.120 --> 48:10.680] We will see some coastal clouds move into the bay for tonight after midnight temperatures, [48:10.680 --> 48:16.840] mid 40s for tomorrow morning by the bay, mid to upper 30s for the inland valleys. [48:16.840 --> 48:20.920] And as we go through the day, we'll see things warm up into the upper 50s and low 60s. [48:20.920 --> 48:26.520] Here's future cast at midnight tonight mainly clear, but watch these clouds begin to fill [48:26.520 --> 48:30.840] into the bay during the overnight. So we've become mostly cloudy for tomorrow morning. [48:30.840 --> 48:35.960] There's the weather system up on the north coast producing rain shaded in green and yellow. [48:35.960 --> 48:40.120] But this will move inland and not impact the bay area, at least with any rain. [48:40.120 --> 48:44.040] We will see clouds through the day. We partly sunny for the afternoon, [48:44.040 --> 48:49.320] mixture of clouds and sunshine. The most clouds begin to clear as we get into the evening. [48:49.320 --> 48:54.840] High temperatures for the day, not quite as warm tomorrow as what we saw today because of the [48:54.840 --> 49:01.640] clouds. Still pretty nice though, low to mid 60s for the south bay, upper 50s, low 60s, inland valleys, [49:01.640 --> 49:08.040] conquered Martinez while the creek 59 degrees, look for highs in the upper 50s and low 60s for the [49:08.040 --> 49:13.720] east shore. We'll have the clouds in the morning. And then for the afternoon, a mixture of sunshine [49:13.720 --> 49:19.560] and high thin clouds, mid to upper 50s, San Francisco, Ocean Beach, Daily City, Pacifica, [49:19.560 --> 49:25.320] Redwood City up to 61 degrees could see some heavy fog here for the north bay valleys, at least [49:25.320 --> 49:31.960] early on patchy fog, Santa Rosa, Fairfield, upper 50s, low 60s here. Here's the seven day around the bay [49:31.960 --> 49:38.760] area. And more dry weather is the theme here as we go into 2012. For Tuesday and Wednesday, [49:38.760 --> 49:43.400] it's going to be nice though. Lots of sunshine, highs in the mid to upper 60s. There may be [49:43.400 --> 49:48.280] some low 70s around the bay area. For Thursday, there's another weather system, but like [49:48.280 --> 49:53.000] the one that's coming through tomorrow, this one too, all the rain to the north of the bay area. [49:53.000 --> 49:57.240] We'll see a few clouds and then mostly sunny into next weekend. Ficky.
