>> you gave your life, i hear you. >> the event at the high school was the third tribute in less than a week for him. next week a procession and funeral are planned when his body returns back home. a man was struck and killed after he tried to run across interstate 880 in berkeley in an attempt to get away from police. the highway patrol says they spotted the man weaving in and out of traffic while driving eastbound on 80 just before 11:00 last night. the driver pulled off to the shoulder of the road and tried to run. he was struck by several cars and killed. police have yet to release his identity. >> a marine just home from iraq is in critical condition. police say he was intentionally run over in san francisco. according to investigators the

suspect is this man who got into a fight with the victim outside a restaurant on geary thursday morning. after the fight broke up the victim walked to a nearby gas station. the suspect got into this car, drove to the gas station, hit the victim and then sped away. the victim who is now working as a firefighter remains at san francisco general hospital. protestors plan to demonstrate at four u.c. campuses where regents are scheduled to meet by teleconference. monday's agenda expands the time for students to talk from the usual 20 minutes to an hour. students say they will complain about tuition hikes and express outrage over the videotaped pepper spraying by campus police. they plan to repeated their call for the dismissal of chancellor and attempt to shut down the

campus with a general strike. the protest locations include u.c. san francisco, u.c. davis, merced and ucla. >> numbers of occupy san francisco are promising this morning to retake their market street encampment. they indicate they are setting up in front of wells fargo bank near the federal reserve. there is a post on twitter they set up an information table this morning, but have not tried to put up any tents which you might recall police ordered removed last weekend. yesterday they joined forces with other groups marching for immigrant rights. >> the crowd marched from justin hermann plaza to 16th and mission street and up mission to 24th. that comes one day after dozens squared off with san francisco police while trying to discourage people from shopping near union square on black friday. occupy l.a. protestors say

they plan to ignore a monday morning deadline to leave their encampment. 485 tents have been on the lawn at city hall for more than 50 days. mayor antonio villaraigosa has told the campers to start packing up because the camp will be closed at 10:01 a.m. they have a choice to leave on their own or face arrests. yesterday dozens of protestors attended a teach-in. it was resistance training, how to stay safe in the face of tear gas and pepper spray. >> police clashes between protestors in oakland appears to be the motive behind an attack in seattle. police there say someone broke or shattered almost all the windows on a u.s. bank branch early in the morning. they left a message claiming it was in revenge for occupy oakland. the vandalism is said to be in the tens of thousands of

dollars. coming up next, with just six weeks until the important iowa caucuses, social conservatives scramble to find an alternative to mitt romney to avoid splitting the conservative vote. >> also in california a ban just months away. why are these protestors still outside bay area restaurants? the answer just ahead.

to presidential politics, an influential newspaper endorsement goes to newt gingrich in the gop race. it's a really setback for mitt romney. david curley reports from washington on the later sign, some conservatives are adopting an anybody but mitt stance. >> i actually gave my life to the lord. >> i truly gave my life to christ. >> these conservatives in the audience secretly, mitt romney is no show again hoping to stop him. >> i think this is social conservative that conservative voters can rally behind and from win the caucuses and deny any mitt romney any great momentum.

>> they tried to pick the anti-romney in iowa. vote for one conservative rather than splitting the voted which could end up giving a chance for romney to win iowa. newt gingrich the baggage of his life and work with government agencies. michele bachmann who has made serious flubs, perry with distrous debate performances, rick santorum has not gained any traction. iowa conservatives could not agree. they plan to meet again tomorrow to try to narrow the list. >> iowa has the first and one of the most powerful voices as to who our nominee will be. >> the worry for the conservatives is romney has a strong showing in iowa going into new hampshire where he is leading, he could be tough to beat. what is clear this is the month it will cut the republican field. we are now just a little more than a month away from the first

voters having their say in iowa. >> we're coming to clinch time. who do they like right now, but who do they want to be the president of united states and that is very different kind of decision. >> the social conservatives, most important paper in new hampshire has just endorsed newt gingrich, not romney who leads there. former secretary of state colin powell supported president obama's campaign is speaking out about the nation's need for leaders who can meet on middle ground. on this week he criticized congress for polarizing the nation. >> republicans and democrats are focusing more on extreme left and right. we have to come back to the center in order to compromise. story i like to tell our founding fathers were able to sit in philadelphia and make some of the greatest compromises

known to man, but they did it. why? because they were there to create a country. congress can't even pass an appropriations bill. >> it fuels political polarization because it makes for good trovl talk shows. here is a controversy. there is just seven months if you like that delicacy but protestors are not waiting until july 1st. members of the animal protection lead league rallied in front of a restaurant. the food comes from the liver of a especially fatened duck. protestors say it's animal torture. >> it's a totally unnecessary food item. >> a lot of people like that table treat.

last night, they featured a special menu an item that the chef and owner loves. >> create a product of this quality, this high level you have to think about how much care and love has to be given to these animals. the statewide ban forbids the forced feeding of animals to produce it as well as the sale of the product but many restaurant owners say they will keep serving it no matter what. the law goes into effect in july. >> lisa argen is here right now to talk about the end of the holiday weekend forecast. >> is it foggy out there. dense fog advisory for another hour or so. this is a view from sutro. you are looking at mount tamalpais. we have visibility less than a quarter of a mile to north. san jose half a mile. airport delays, any rain? i'll let you know coming up.

also into the valleys with visibility reduced all morning long. we're talking less than a quarter of a mile where you would expect it by the delta down to nothing. look at here. around the airport, 47 minute delays, oakland, two and a half mile visibility with san jose only half mile visibility and hayward just over a mile. by 9:00 or 10:00, we erode that just a little bit. you see hazy sun and by afternoon we should see a decent day. 44 in redwood city with the warmer numbers at the coast. half moon bay leading the pack. monterey 61 degrees with a lot of sunshine along the central coast. we are looking the dense fog, partly cloudy the next few days. clouds and cooler temperatures by the end of the week. middle of the week, very gusty winds, above a thousand feet. we could see wind advisories posted into thursday.

here is a look what is going. on notice much more cloud cover this morning. the ridge is still with us. it's going to maintain dry weather all week long. another ridge will replace this one as it flies to the east. as it does it will allow for a weak frontal band to move in to the north of us. it's not going to disrupt the jetstream for anything from keeping us high and dry the next several days. we'll have the dry weather continue but subtle changes day to day. an extended period of dry weather. 56 in yosemite. look for 82 in los angeles. very warm weather right around california bucks for the bay area, about where you were yesterday. numbers should be in the mid-60s for above normal. 68 in campbell. 68 in palo alto. you should see 62. san francisco getting in sunshine at 63. in the north bay, tough to scour out these clouds, 60, 64 in petaluma. near east bay, very mild come

2:00, mid-60s in union city. monterey bay already sunny. that is why they're going to see numbers in the 70s today. for the look ahead, no raindrops at all. we are looking at pervasive fog. a mild tuesday, monday and then cooler, windy and right on into next week, it looks dry, as well. >> the computer models show it. thank you. >> check out sports. raiders are hosting the chicago bears this afternoon. last night stanford closed out regular season against notre dame. here is mike shumann with all the highlights in this morning's sports. >> it was senior day. last time they would play at stanford stadium. andrew luck and his teammates donning a new look and looking

very confident. he gets a put down, 7-0 lead. andrew gets help from the tight end. he takes robert plant with him in the end zone. it's now 14-0. stanford, five sacks, forced three turnovers. here is an interception, stanford gets the ball. luck wastes no time, to montgomery on the slant. three td passes before the half. we go to the fourth, 21-7. a wide open kobe, and senior walks off the farm a winner. 128-14 was the final. >> only thing i can say he is the best player in college football. he one of the best people on the planet. he carries himself as a stanford

man should. >> i'll be able to look down the road on that. his name is very special to me. i was more excited to get a win to be part of the team and finish out the regular season in the right way. >> stanford needed oregon state for any shot for pac-12 championship. 7-0 ducks. look at this. 58-yard touchdown, ducks strike back with 21 unanswered points. darren thomas to wide open paulson, it's now 14-7. thomas throws third touchdown of the game. oregon's offense racked up 394 yards. ducks win it and hosted ucla on friday. let's move over to the ice, sharks and canucks, two teams with history. they do not like each other.

winchester drops the gloves in the first, sharks down 1. great behind the back pass, murray slides it in. in the second, canucks lead on the power play. here is a shot and snaps a pass, 2-1 canucks and 50 seconds later snaps it in for another point. canucks win it 3-2. >> we may have basketball after all. n.b.a. players and owners have reached a tentative agreement to end the lockout pending approval from both sides of the table. two sides met for more than 15 hours on friday and announced they have agreed to a deal, but they aren't saying much about the specifics. good news for fans, both sides can get a majority vote in favor of the new deal, 66-game season will begin on christmas. the n.b.a. players need to drop

welcome back. these are tough times for neighborhood hardware stores, so many are being driven out of business by the big box giants. but a tiny san francisco store is bucking that trend. tuggies hardware opened in 1898 and still going strong. wayne freedman shows us what sets it apart. >> in a confusing maze like a city it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. where can you find an old fluorescent lighting fixture. >> i might have one. >> this is tuggies hardware in noe valley.

and might qualify as the latest incarnation that customers can see and hear and smell the timelessness. >> it's one of those businesses that truly reflects it's neighborhood, not just literally but also figure ra actively. this hardware store has been in noe valley since 1898. >> basically my dad used to describe it as warehouse for the neighborhood. >> then he begin working here at 12 years old, a continuity that explains the resilience in the competitive times. it's personal, advice comes free with every purchase. >> it's almost the same thing. it's a bonder. >> what i want is this. >> if you think about this, hardware store was a nuts and bolts solution of our world. >> when i was younger, i was a kid i used to think how to keep

where occupy san francisco has taken over. lisa, how was your thanksgiving? >> it was good, we got a lot of fog. dense fog advisories, it's going to take time to scour out. here is a look from the city. we have 47-minute delays at sfo. quarter mile visibility north and south of the bay and east wind blowing more fog into central valley. we'll let you know about the clearing and temperatures and outlook for rain coming up. also ahead, carolyn johnson's journey of hope to sierra leone. how family sponsors here in the bay area are [ woman ] hmm...game day party idea pillsbury crescent bacon cheddar pinwheels just unroll, add ingredients, roll and bake. and the crowd goes wild. crescent bacon cheddar pinwheels. game day ideas made easy. grands! and gravy. man, it's butter all the way.g? uncle ray, gravy or butter?
