gotten together to do the oath of office. you might recall that four years ago during president obama's inauguration. chief justice flubbed the words of the inauguration so out of an abundance of caution the two men got together to resay it. that was the private ceremony with just the president's family there. there will be a public swearing in tomorrow on the national mall where they are expecting a crowd that will be smaller that they had four years ago where nearly 2 million people showed up. they are expecting maybe 800,000 people to be out here. there will being the traditional parade and two inaugural balls. security is extremely tight with 13,000 military and law enforcement people who will be in the crowd. but it will be scaled back but it will still be majestic with all the pomp we are used to seeing in an inauguration. abc7 news. carolyn. >> thank you very much. our coverage of the inauguration begins tomorrow at 4:00 a.m. with a special edition of good morning america. we will also have live streaming

>> schu will continue to follow the excitement in atlanta. he will have a live report tonight after the game on abc7 news at five and six. new details this morning in the police investigation of 49er's wide receiver michael crabtree. our sister network espn reporting that one well-placed 49er source said he, quote, highly, highly doubts crabtree will be charged. a second female interest has backed up crabtree's version of events to police. according to the source there's a feeling in the organization that these events will not develop into anything more than they already have. we are, of course, talking about a woman who claims crabtree assaulted her last sunday, just hours after the niners' divisional playoff win over the green bay packers. crabtree has not been arrested or detained. the 49ers say the issue will not be a distraction in this afternoon's nfc championship game. this morning we have the

newest twist to the already tangled story about a college football player and a dead girlfriend who never existed. while manti te'o tries to salvage his dignity, his reputation and his hopes of an nfl career, more questions are being asked about the person or people behind this elaborate hoax that apparently expand several years. here's abc's matt gutman with the latest. >> this morning new details about the alleged catfish maestro orchestrating the elaborate hoax spanning manti te'o's entire college career. in his interview with espn, he said this man called him on wednesday to confess the woman te'o called the love of his life was a figure meant of this man's imagination. in december, three months after the man had killed off the character, he, and the woman who spent countless hours on the phone with te'o, acting as

linnea, called te'o. the jig was up. >> she said it's linnea and we carried on that conversation and i just got mad. and i just went on a rampage. >> linnea was imaginary, but the alleged script for his fictional character who suffered a coma in a car crash and then died of leukemia mirrored his own reality. one eerie example, his father posted on facebook that his son and his band survived a horrific car accident last month. and about the same sometime the fake girlfriend was diagnosed with leukemia, his real life cousin, jasmine, also in her cousin, was diagnosed with the disease. >> he had a knack at tugging at heart strings. during an addition for a singing competition "the voice" he reportedly came one a similar sob story about a fear fatal

crash that left another cousin nearly brain dead. last night we tried to catch up with the man's neighbors, still reeling from the scandal. >> i'm so surprised. out of all the people in the world they would not be the people i would assume caused it. >> abc news, miami. >> today maybe 49er fans have to move the tv outside. it will be nice. >> not a bad idea. and with this weather you don't want to miss it. we have a couple more days of fair skies, mild temperatures. right now san francisco gorgeous. we have 60 at the coast, 20 to the north. mid-40s here. i'll let you know when the rain is coming back next. >> thank you, lisa. also next the warriors try to get back to winning against the hornets with the return of steph curry. highlights plus the 49 ehrhoff's championship game preview coming up in sports.

>> welcome back, everyone. it is 9:18 on this sunday morning. thanks for joining us. you are seeing right now a live look from sky 7hd over the mavericks big sur of competition near half moon bay. it was expected to get underway around 8:00 this morning. so far, though, the big wave surfers are just hanging out waiting for a monster wave to come their way. waves about 20 feet high are expected today for this competition. lisa, there was a high surf advisory in effect until around 4:00 this afternoon. is that still out there? >> that's right. they will sit and hang out there until they see a big one and then go after it. yeah, looks beautiful out there. and temperatures are nice and

mild. mildest there at our coast, near 60. right now mt. tam, a beautiful shot. but it has been cold. once again, a little frost on the windshield with numbers below freezing north and east bay valleys we done with that yet? not quite. as soon as that is done we will increase theecloud cover and we will pay the price with some incoming weather systems. that will happen. it will take some time, though. live doppler 7hd now looking at the sweep on top of mount saint helena. very quiet. 33 santa rosa, all the way up to 42 right now in napa. 59 half moon bay. 37 livermore. just within the half-hour numbers have come up significantly. monterey 59 degrees. a couple 70s down there this afternoon. so 24 hours ago we were a little bit cooler. this morning we are warmer so the atmosphere getting into that mixing right now. bringing some of the warmer air are the upper levels down to the surface. of course, we have the warm air

at the coast. that mixing is improving the air quality. not a spare-the-air day. we had chilly temperatures this morning. still cool. looking for the high surf advisory through the afternoon and the mild weather continues through tuscaloosa. right now current wave heights about 7 feet right off the coast here. but in the deeper waters we are looking near 20 feet. could get bigger than that. very dangerous out there. looking at the parking lot at half moon bay, it is a very busy place. with the beautiful day, lots of folks will be enjoying the weather the next couple days and this is why. high pressure continues to hold on. it will linger keeping the storm track to the north and west of us. that will allow for the light offshore flow to continue. we've had a little fog in the morning hours. overall it's the surface high that weakens. once that does we will be looking for a couple incoming weather systems to visit us. first it will bring higher clouds come tuesday and into wednesday. maybe a slight chance of showers. but everyone will really notice

the cooler temperatures. that's going to overspread the area come wednesday into thursday. and right on into the rest of the week. thursday looks dry. partly cloudy. but by the end of the work week we could see more rain. it could be a wet setup for next weekend. high temperatures today, though, check it out. 80 degrees in los angeles. 75 in palm springs. low 60s sacramento. so, boy, what a gorgious day. 51 in the southern sierra, and back home the numbers continue to be quite mild. we should see mid-and upper 50s in parts of the north bay. about five, six degrees above that today. 65 in oakland with 64 in fremont. mid-60s for you in the south bay. here we have the 70s continuing for saw lean mass and santa cruz today. so if you like this kind of weather, we have a couple more days like. this then it is going to start to begin to feel more like the season. by wednesday the cooler air, maybe a shower. thursday partly cloudy and the next system, it could bring some

pretty good rain with cooler temperatures by the end of the week. so we will be ready. >> yeah. and january is typically our rainiest month. >> it is. but we have the midwinter dry spell which is not unusual either. >> thank you, lisa. let's check out sports. this afternoon the san jose sharks finally open their season in calgary. the puck drops at 3:00 this afternoon. but as you know, all eyes are going to be on atlanta as the 49ers try to advance to super bowl xlvii in new orleans. they need a win today over the falcons. here's collin resch with a look at the team's preparations before today's game. >> good morning. >> no more talk, no more practice, it's game time. who wants it more? who can execute better? who can win the turnover battle. the 49ers and falcons are ready for the nfc championship game. winner, on to new orleans and super bowl. the niners enter today's game as four point favorites. coaches and players alike with one thought, don't leave the georgia dome feeling like they

welcome back, everyone.

we are giving you another live look as we wait for some of the top international surfers to take part in the maverick surf contest off half moon bay. the contest was expected to get underway at 8:00, but, of course, they have to wait for some of those killer waves. so that is what they are doing right now. waves are expected to be about 20 feet high later today. this is the first time we've had mavericks here in the bay area since 2010 because, as i said, they have to wait for huge waves. 2010 was also the last time the crowd was allowed to be down there on the beach or on the bluffs. they will not be allowed to do that this year because back then one of those huge monster waves crashed into the crowd, injuring several of the spectators. again, here they are, off pillar point, waiting to begin. >> this morning investigators continue the search for suspects after one person was fatally

shot, another injured near an east bay bart station. it happened shortly after noon yesterday. people scattering in panic when shots were fired at a bus stop in front of the bay fair station in san leandro. a 40-year-old man was killed. a teenage girl also shot, but she is expected to be okay. investigators shut down the station for about six hours, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. a teenage boy is under arrest, but police are still looking for at least three others. >> you know that bart has an extensive video camera system, as does a.c. transit. we will be looking at whether or not there will be any useful video. >> so far investigators don't have a motive in the shooting. san francisco police are investigating the city's second homicide of the year. a 26-year-old man was shot and killed last night as he was driving near japan town. police say the victim crashed his black mercedes into a parked

car at fillmore and post streets around 5:30 p.m.. he died at the hospital. witnesses say the shooter got into a white or silver car and took off. >> the lake county shear i was office released video of a man they believed killed the employee of a convenience store. it happened on main street in kelseyville. the man on the tape was later seen running through a nearby field. a $10,000 reward is being offered. new details are emerging from that her hostage crisis in algeria. it ended with the algerian government launching an assault. yesterday morning. dozens are left dead. brian ross has the details. the algerian army's third

the final assault came after four days. bp ran the facility. over the course of the siege, 23 hostages died. >> for our people in algeria, for their family and their friends, it has been and continues to be a distressing and horrific time. >> two americans remain unaccounted for and a third has been identified as killed. 58-year-old fred of katie, texas. survivors said the attackers focused only on americans and westerners. including a large british contingent. >> we believe that there are three british nationals dead and others are dead. >> the good news was most of the approximately 100 western workers were freed or escaped. algerian tv aired what had said was home video taken by one hostage as a group made their

escape across the desert, often past bodies. the algerians said they killed at least 32 of the terrorists. their bodies displayed on algerian tv. they were heavily armed with heavy weapons and explosive-pack suicide belts and were preparing to blow up the natural gas facility. >> that's abc's brian ross reporting. >> president obama will be sworn in tomorrow. mark matthews spoke with the world's foremost authority on dr. king. the question is if they could have met, what would the leader of the civil rights movement who was murphyed in memphis, what would he have to say to president obama about guns and violence in our society? >> claiborne carson was just 19 years old when he stood on the washington mall on a hot august afternoon and listened to martin luther king describe his dream for america.

>> four years ago he was back on cold to watch barack obama take the oath of office. like many who were involved in what carson calls the movement, he wondered what now? >> now that he has the power of the presidency, what is he going to do to bring king's dream into reality? >> carson believes dr. king would urge the president to take on the harder, more complex issues underlying gun violence. >> the problem with violence is not simply a problem of availability of guns. it's a climate. it's a culture. >> for king it was an issue of social justice. >> you know, i think what he would point out is that people don't kill other people when they have hope. >> king would certainly call for gun control, said carson, but he also called on all americans to see themselves as part of one community. >> when do white americans care as much about the death of a black child as a white child?

you know, would the response of the nation been the same if that had happened at a black school? i would hope so. but as we know, the death of black children on a daily, weekly basis, doesn't seem to garner the same kind of attention. >> look no further than oakland, said carson. and he points to dr. king's message that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. >> he was saying that 50 years ago, but now we have to believe that. because injustice in one place can lead to terrorism in another place. >> these are the things that have to concern us for our own future, said carson. his latest book is "martin's dream." he held an open house at the mlk institute on stanford's campus, but their website says they welcome visitors to see their collection of documents and photographs located in cyprus hall. in the newsroom, abc7 news.

>> new this morning the group "save pete's harbor" holds a fundraiser today in their ongoing effort to find new homes for evicted boat tenants. the so-called live-a boards were displaced to make room for a new development and find themselves with no place to go. to help them, a fundraiser is being held today at the wood side historic pioneer saloon. it will feature a band named "eviction notice." and the 49ers game will be on the big screen tv since the fundraiser is scheduled from noon to three this afternoon. >> also new this morning as 49er fever builds and the team once again becomes one of the hottest franchise necessary the nfl, their stewed stadium in santa clara could open without a naming rights deal. today san francisco chronicle quotes team spokesman, mr. lang, the team doesn't have anything in the pipeline yet, but adds

other stadiums have opened without a naming rights deal so it is not considered a necessity. a naming rights deal would pay a big chunk of the $1.2 billion stadium project that is said to open in time for the 2014 season. coming up next, monitoring the flu. we will show you a new way to watch the spread of the nationwide outbreak. now you can find out when it arrives in your neighborhood. >> and here's a live look from our east bay cam showing you emeryville, looking back toward the city. mild temperatures continue across the bay today, but get ready for a return to rain. lisa argen will have your forecast in just a few minutes.

>> last week beat writer christina farr called in sick and she began wondering who got her sick? turns out there's an app for that. a facebook app called, help, my friend gave me the flu. >> it will scrape data from your social networks and look for the tell-tale signs, search terms like sneeze, cold, flu. >> in a few seconds she got a list of four likely suspects who posted about being sick. >> sorry guys, i'm going to be avoiding you the next couple weeks. >> calling facebook and twitter for posts about feeling ill, another app, germ tracker, plots likely flu victims on a map. >> and people do say things on facebook and especially twitter to say i'm feeling miserable and mentioning they might be working from home. these apps can pick up on that. >> another app called flu near you relies on 40,000 volunteers to report every week if they have the flu. just click on any city. >> it will show you whether the flu risk is high or not and

how many people around you are sick. >> the favorite comes from google. it shows who is searching for flu symptoms or remedies. >> people are asking how do i get a fever down or what kind of medications should i take for the flu and google is updated every day. >> each paint a slightly different picture, but together they form a big picture that public health officials say can be just as valuable as the cdc's official numbers. >> increasingly we are recognizing in public health that you need everything. we need to be able to triangulate what the numbers actually are and that takes a combination of traditional methods as well as the newer crowd sourcing methods. >> but they said there's one thing the numbers don't change as the flu epidemic across the country, the best way to fight it is a flu shot. >> for those of us living in california, there is still plenty of time to get a flu vaccine and i would urge everyone to do that. >> in san francisco, jonathan bloom, abc7 news. >> we've been fortunate so far. if i come down with anything

tomorrow, i'll blame it on you. >> with all the sunshine hopefully you are getting out and enjoying the beautiful weather. we have a couple more pretty mild days ahead. right now as we head outside looking out over the east bay, you still see all the sunshine. some haze out there. numbers of climbing in the 50s in parts of the city. we are talking about still 60s in the forecast for the first half of the work week. the second half looking cooler and maybe rainy. i'll explain next. >> thank you,
