his phone began to give off what he says an amber alert like alarm. the volunteer emt ran to the store where a clerk had called 911. a 1-month-old boy named nolan had suddenly stopped breathing. >> i asked -- the lady was standing outside. i said, is there a medical emergency here? she said, yes, it's an infant. he's blue. and i said, you know, you just kind of suck it up a little bit. >> and this guy came out of nowhere. and just scooped the baby up and really knew what he was doing, which was just such a blessing to all of us. >> the app, called pulse point, used the gps on olson's phone to identify him as within a two-block radius and thus able to help. nolan is the first person saved since the spokane fire department connected pulse point to its dispatch center. >> that's incredible. michael finny is here to answer questions.

first question from jose c, who emails, how much am i paying for a cable box that stays on even after you turn it off? >> that is a fabulous question. this has been a very big deal for a couple of years now. the report was just issued earlier this week about this exact subject. here is the deal. those boxes on your tv or sitting next to your tv now generally use a lot of electricity. so they have been replacing them slowly. so the ones this year use 5% less than the ones the year before, and the year before that it's about 13%, 14% different. but what's the dollar amount? $50 is what you're paying to run that thing. some refrigerators only cost $50. so now the government and activists are getting on cable companies. for you, ask your cable company, is this the most energy efficient one you have available? you're looking for energy star 4.1. that's the new rating.

that's the one you want. >> $50 per -- >> per year, just to run the cable box. >> ok. all right. >> the electricity. >> val z asks via facebook, is there any way to stop companies sending me applications for credit cards? >> there is, and it's funny. it's a two-tier thing. actually, three-tier. you can do nothing and just get them in the mail all the time. or you can opt out for five years or opt out for life. there's actually a system for this. those are called pre-screened offers. if you go to a website, i'll post something there to tell you exactly where you need to go. there's a phone numberer a website, and you can quit having them arrive. and douglas g emailed, why do we have earthquake insurance outside of a typical homeowners policy? >> because we have a complete mess of a situation here. here's the deal. the majority of californians used to actually carry -- or at least half of us carried earthquake insurance. it was another $100, $200 on a

policy. everything was going along fine. then the north ridge quake hit, and more money was spent fixing the homes in north ridge than they had collected forever in earthquake payments. so the insurance company said, look, we've got to get out of this. we're not going to do it. state said you have to do it. they said ok, we're not going to sell insurance at all. and that's when the state set up the california earthquake authority, and that's why we have this system today. >> and that's why the rates are prohibitively high. >> so few people do it. as a matter of fact, it's somewhere between 5% and 10%. and a lot of activists don't believe it's even that high. up next, the big disappointment for a bay area high school band and what you can do to help. i'm dan ashley in the newsroom. coming up new at 5:00, if you've noticed more branches falling in your neighborhood, you're not alone. why the bay area is living in limbo. and cracking the code on price tags. 7 on your side's michael finny is back on how to unlock hidden discounts at your favorite stores. those stories and more on abc
