>> welcome back, everyone. some encouraging news this morning about what california kids are eating. the state crackdown on junk food at school is apparently having a positive effect. capital correspondent nannette miranda has the story from sacramento. >> reporter: a new university of illinois study is suggesting california's policies that ban junk food in school cafeteria's is influencing teenagers eating habits. it's been five years since the crackdown, and researchers found high school students are eating an average of 160 fewer calories a day than kids in other states. a trend that could help reverse obesity trends. they are also consuming less fat and sugar. >> studies show to stop the obesity level, it's leveling off and hope any they are taking a stronger interest in their health. >> and they don't sell sodas, unhealthy snacks and fried foods. you will find fruit and vegetables, french fries baked and whole-grain. they have gotten rid of salt packages.
6:32 am
>> at first i was upset because i like salt, but it's helping me eat a lot better and that's what i actually want to do. >> alexander believes he will be heavier today if junk food was readily available at school. >> this would be a larger size. these shorts, this shirt, i do feel like, yeah, i would be heavier. >> 160 fewer calories a day may not be much. it's like a small bag of chips, but researchers say most children could prevent significant long-term weight gain by cutting out 100 to 200 calories a day. but students do bring junk food from home and they consume only 25% of their calories at school. assemblyman richard pan, who is also a pediatrician, said more needs to be done. >> we've shown in the school we created an environment kids take fewer calories. we can now use this information to talk to parents about how do
6:33 am
we create an environment at home? >> the study's author also noted the findings are encouraging for the hispanic community considering the high level of obesity among latino youths. in sacramento, nannette miranda, abc7 news. the professional business women of california's young women's summit is a conference within a conference. it's held in conjunction with pbwc which is the largest women's business conference in northern california. high school seniors and college age women get to meet and learn and successful professional women. cheryl jennings spoke with tracy curtis, san francisco regional president of wells fargo and major sponsor of the young women's summit and pbwc. >> i know that wells fargo is a big sponsor of the young women's summit so let's start with that. why is it so born? >> a couple reasons. the young women's summit, we know they are our next generation of leaders. and without having something like this the young women to go to, we wouldn't be able to find mentors, network, find applicants, especially at the businesses of that historically been underserved by women.
6:34 am
>> when you started a while ago it was a part-time job, right? >> a part-time job 24 years ago when i first moved from england. i certainly didn't have this wonderful conference to go to back then and only had people within wells fargo to turn to to what you need to do to advance. so i'm hoping that for the women that attend this conference will find lot of benefit in it because it's been difficult at times over 24 years, especially, you know, in banking, predominantly a male company back then or a male industry. and now two-thirds of our team members are women. and many in very, very executive positions. >> and for other women, not necessarily the younger women, but women of a certain age who may want to network, may want to gain new skills? >> absolutely. a great place for them to do that, especially if you want to look in industries that you are not already in. there are not many lays us can -- places where you can
6:35 am
find mentors or networks or network with women across industries and this is going to be, 3,000 women will be there at least. what a great opportunity to have 3,000 women to listen to and to network with. >> i find it very empowering and energizing to be there. >> you walk away, you know you are going to conquer the world, that's for sure. that's what we hope everybody walks away with on may 15th. >> carolyn: the professional business women of california's conference and young women's summit is happening this coming tuesday, may 15th at mascone center west in san francisco. cheryl jennings will be there as well emceeing the opening keynote session. if you would like more information on the event, we have a link on our website, abc7news.com under "see it on tv." lisa argen is spendinger mother's day here with us and she has a accuweather forecast. >> winds are increasing and the cool marine air and making its
6:36 am
way all the way to the delta. this is a view from mount tam. a very pretty shot. we will see it mix out for a sunny but a much cooler afternoon for the next couple days. the outlook is next. >> carolyn: also next we will show utility sensors that are now floating, even swimming in the delta. a realtime early warning system.
6:37 am
6:38 am
6:39 am
>> carolyn: engineers at u. c. berkeley invented floating robots. it may help california in a number of scenarios. the researchers spent time last week depositing some of them in the delta. abc7 news reporter laura anthony has the story from walnut grove. >> go bears! >> researchers from u. c. berkeley spent the day tossing dozens of high-tech cylinders into the delta waters at walnut grove. the sensors are equipped with gps receivers and cell phone technology that provide data showing their exact movements in the waterway in realtime. they can also deliver information on pollution, salinity and other variables. >> the goal here is to be able to show the currents at a scale that was previously unknown so we can understand better how the delta works. >> inside we have some ballests and a smartphone. each of the 100 sensors contains a consumer cell phone or its components and a signal to a computer.
6:40 am
ice a tracker of sorts. it knows where it is and what it is doing. and because it's floating with the water what it's doing is what the water it doing. >> the green dot shows where each device is at the moment. the sensors with the red tops are passive, meaning they just float. those with the yellow cap are active and equipped with propellers that allow them to move in the water. >> the robotic sensors we build have a capability that hasn't been exploited before, which is the ability for the sensor to keep itself safe, to move into the center of the channel to avoid obstacles. >> with the realtime data and the mobility of the sensors, researchers say there's a variety of real world applications. >> we hope to be able to provide authorities with a technology that can be on demand in realtime to any event that would happen that is unanticipated like levy breach, oil spill or any other problem in the water. >> in an emergency like a levy break they could be dropped from a helicopter and if a cell signal is unavailable they can communicate via two-way radio. in walnut grove, laura anthony, abc7 news.
6:41 am
>> carolyn: with more and more of us turning to electric cars, the challenge is to get the vehicle charged up every day. if you are a homeowner you plug it in right in your garage. but 7 on your side's michael finney said for renters it may not be so easy. >> all i do is start it up. >> richard is happy with his new electric car. >> living in the bay area, you just feel like, you know, you have some obligation to be as green as you possibly can. >> richard hardly uses any gasoline anymore as long as he can keep his car charged up. and he figured that would be no problem. see, he lives in this san francisco high rise. when he parks in his assigned place there is an electric outlet right there. >> the car was designed to be convenient. that's the beauty of the volt, it has a 110 socket and you can plug it right in. >> the chevy vold needs only an ordinary socket like this one. the setup seemed ideal until i
6:42 am
told his landlord about it. >> the answer came back, we allow no alteration to our premises. >> he explained it required no alterations and he would pay for the extra costs of electricity. still his landlord gave him a flat no. richard could park here, but he could not plug his car into the socket three feet a away. >> i'm willing too reimburse you, please let me plug my car in. >> the manager e-mailed him said trinity management services does not approve such a request. now he has to drive to charging stations and wait hours for the battery to fill up. he contacted on your side and we tried to talk with the building owner and his company trinity properties located in this building. no one from the company returned our calls. we reached building manager brian shed. he said i am not allowed to comment on this. and we aren't going say anything. >> i think as we see electric vehicles becoming more popular,
6:43 am
that we will run into more situations where there's landlord-tenant disputes. >> as ted said of the san francisco tenant's union, he believes richard has every right to plug in his car. >> tenants have use of them in the past and they have use of them in the future. >> however an expert in landlord-tenant law disagrees. >> i don't see any reason in the law why the landlord would be obliged to make that socket available. >> a former superior court judge, david garcia, now mediates civil disputes. he said if the landlord lets one tenant plug in he may have to give the same deal to everybody else in the building, and since richard's lease doesn't give him specific rights to that socket, the landlord can say no. >> he didn't rent that socket. it's not part of the unit. it's part of a common area. >> he said just the opposite. he said if the lease doesn't prohibit use of the socket it's fair game. >> that means i have the right to use those outlets without restrictions. >> one thing everyone agrees on,
6:44 am
this conflict is bound to spread, especially in a city where half the residents of tenants and more are buying electric cars. >> if every landlord would take this position, then no tenant would be able to buy an electric vehicle. >> that's not fair because tenants have the right to have electric cars just like homeowners do, and i think all of us want to see more gas-guzzling vehicles taken off the road. >> he hopes some day charging station will be common and this dispute will seem silly. >> can you imagine ten years from now you go back and replay this entire video, people would smile and say how archaic were we back then, that we told people they couldn't plug their cars in. >> some cities are telling tenant to install charging stations at their buildings. other cities are doing the same thing. if you are having problems getting a landlord to let you charge up your car, let me know
6:45 am
about it. go to abc7news.com. i'm michael finney, 7 oven your side. >> carolyn: meteorologist lisa argen is here now. lisa, i know it's getting ath cooler s the win playing a factor? >> lisa: absolutely. we are looking at the delta breeze, the on shore flow making it all the way into our east bay valleys. the low clouds creating some airport delays out there. as we head outside here's look at the island princess cruising by and all the low cloudiness, even mist and drizzling closer to the coast. sun was up right after 6:00 and setting at 8:11 tonight. we are going to allow for the low cloudiness to cool us off today significantly in our inland valleys and not so much along the shoreline where we were just in the 60s yesterday. but as this little system moves on through tomorrow, it will work to further cool that deck of stratus and that should mix out the low clouds and fog but temperatures as a result definitely coming down. 50 napa, 51 in the city and 54
6:46 am
in san carlos. 52 half moon bay and the visibility is better this morning. we will look for the cloudiness to peel on back. we are talking about 10:00, 11:00, and we will get into some sunshine and hopefully those airport delays not stacking up too much with the low cloudiness this morning and reduced visibility. but by the afternoon we will look for the breezy conditions with that fog hanging close to the shoreline. so for today we will see a couple of 80s, but not many. in fact, it will be just in the lower 80s. and tomorrow lucky to hit about 80 degrees with a weak weather system head into northern california. look at our satellite and radar composite. we have some high and lid level clouds on the way but another system will move on through and produce perhaps measurable precipitation at the coast. it was 90 in livermore yesterday. forecasting a high of 83 today.

7 degrees of cooling from the east bay to the north day. san francisco, half moon bay, about the same as well. all the way down the coast through santa cruz and watsonville just a couple degrees of cooling. as we head into the next couple of days, it's low pressure that will head to the north and east of us. this upper level low allowing for perhaps some dry thunderstorm activity in northeastern california, northwestern nevada. but the fire danger not a problem here as these on shore winds continue to transport that cool air across the bay and even into portion of the sacramento valley by tomorrow. so later on today we will see a few mid- and high-level clouds. but then by monta the numbers cool further. today will be the last day we will see any 80s for the next day or so. so enjoy it out by concord and livermore taking the edge off the heed with 56 in oakland today. down by the monterey bay look for some late morning clearing there with 66 in watsonville. so a few 80s today and our
