>> why do i have to be half naked to swim? to enjoy my time with my kids? >> commerce city says she was turned away not for religious reasons but clearly stated safety and hygiene concerns. >> the city routinely turns away people who don't have appropriate swimwear. jeans shorts or sports shorts or don't have swim diapers or don't have the appropriate attire. we turn all of those individuals away because the number one focus for us is safety. >> the city now says it will adjust its rules to include birkinis, loose fitting full body swimsuits with a hood made for islamic women. hard to believe it's been a generation since an earthquake changed the bay area. this saturday on abc 7 we will take a look back at the chilling 15 seconds in october of 1989 when a 6.9 earthquake ripped through the bay area, leaving behind chaos, destruction, death and incredible moments of heroism.

the mayor of san francisco at the time remembers the world was watching as the bay area proved its resilience. >> we saw san francisco people as diverse and as kooky as sometimes we can be pulling together like all americans to help each other get through this crisis. >> this saturday on abc 7, we will also look forward to see how the loma prieta earthquake taught us to be ready for what's next in the bay area. abc 7 presents 15 seconds, 25 years later, this saturday at 9:30 p.m. on abc 7. americans are living longer than ever. a new report on mortality by the cdc and national center for health statistics says the life expectancy in the u.s. is now nearly 79 years. that's an increase of about a month since the 2011 study. women are expected to live more than 81 years. for men, 76 years. no real explanation for the life

expectancy differences between men and women but scientists suspect behavior may play a role with men being bigger risk takers. if you bought a red bull in the past 12 years, and yes, 12 years, you are eligible to get some money back. the company that makes red bull has agreed to pay out $13 million to settle a class action lawsuit. that lawsuit said red bull misled consumers with its slogan red bull gives you wings as well as claims that the energy drink could increase athletic performance, concentration and reaction speed. we posted a link on abc7news.com with more information on how you can get reimbursed. 7 on your side's michael finney is here answering questions sent to him by facebook, twitter and e-mail. our first question is can a company charge off a loan without notice. >> yeah, actually they can, in the state of california. they don't have to tell you when they are sending it on to a collection agency, but there is

one exception to that rule. that is health spas. that's exactly how it's written, because the law was passed so long ago, we had so many problems with health clubs and gyms and such, they've got a whole other set of rules. so a gym has to tell you. no one else does. >> a twitter user asks what is the name of that free credit counseling service? >> okay. the one that i refer people to and i always say you got to check it out, read the fine print, but it is consumer credit counseling. it was for a very long time the only guys out there. there are many many out there now. many of them are good. many of them are not. you need to check very carefully. the ccc is the one i tell people to start with. >> and how can a car dealership sell a used car as new? >> okay. larry, you think you know. >> i thought i knew in the break, then you kind of made a face so i don't want to -- i want to hear the real explanation. >> you were pretty close.

there is actually a mileage amount, 7500 miles, it can be considered a new car if it has never been transferred into anyone else's name. if the company owns it and use it as a loaner car, what we are seeing right now is electric cars, because people aren't sure they want one so the companies say take one home for a weekend, check it out, take it for a day. some of those will rack up miles. just because they call it new doesn't mean you have to pay the full price. when you see a 7500 miles or something like that, what you ought to do is say give me a break on the car. >> what i was thinking is often you will have the head of the dealership will drive the car for awhile because they flip-flop vehicles and get a feel for them. it's still a new vehicle even though the guy may have driven it a few thousand miles. >> exactly because it hasn't been transferred into anyone else's name and by law it's under 7500 miles. >> 7500. that's not nearly new. not that nearly new. thank you,

michael. i was right, actually. >> larry wants to point out he was right. >> no, no, no. i was afraid and turned out to be right. up next, a teacher crisis. why recruiting them will be even more difficult for one bay area city in the next few years. i'm cheryl jennings. coming up at 5:00, dire words from the head of google. where eric schmitz says the government is teetering on the edge of online catastrophe. a spin on being taken to the cleaners. how one shipping company will no longer leave you waiting at home, next.

trying to mislead you about the effects of proposition 46. well here's the truth: 46 will save lives. it will save money too. i'm bob pack, and i'm fighting for prop 46 because i lost my two children to preventable medical errors and i don't want anyone else to lose theirs. the three provisions in 46 will reduce medical errors and protect patients. save money and save lives. yes on 46.

francisco but it's getting harder for many to stay. the teachers union says half of the teachers in san francisco leave after five years but it's not only because they can't afford to live here. >> our profession is one of the hardest and biggest turn-around. >> reporter: that's something that occurs throughout the country. school districts in california are also predicting a shortage of credentialed teachers. the state budget cuts we saw which resulted in thousands of layoff notices will have a lasting effect in the classroom. >> the signal that sent across california really is that teaching may not actually be a secure profession to go into. >> reporter: san francisco unified is already issuing more emergency credentials to those working on getting their certifications. the challenge for the city now is to come up with ways to help teachers stay in the communities they serve. in san francisco, lyanne
