3 if you don't register that drone you might have to write uncle sam a big check. here's your c - net tech update. 3 marty mcfly never had to worry about exploding hoverboards. i'm bridget carey, this is your cnet update.this year's hot holiday gift is just way too hot for some companies to touch. and by hot, i mean fire and explosion go boom hot. you may know it as a hoverboard or balance board, but there are now some safety concerns with this mix between a skateboard and segway. in some models,

the lithium ion batteries are catching fire, and it could be because some are poorly made. overstock is no longer selling hoverboards, and it appears that amazon is pulling some of these hoverboard products until the sellers can provide documents proving they meet safety standards. one popular brand, swagway, shared a statement with a few media outlets about this,swagways cost around $400, and are cheaper than most high-end brands that can go for around $15-hundred dollars. but there are even some knockoffs being sold for $300 or $200 dollars, and you need to stay away from those. the government is now getting involved. the united states consumer product safety commission is currently investigating these products after reports of hoverboard fires. and several major us airlines are also banning it from carry-on or checked baggage, in fear of them catching fire. if you want to be safe, remember that a price that's too good to be true usually is. and you may want to buy directly from the manufacturer's website to check that it meets safety standards and if there's a warranty - the higher quality brands that go through safety checks do offer that. also watch the weight limits and don't ride if you weigh more than the limit. and if you do get one for a gift, take a slow, please.(source video: needs more practice. and there's another big tech gift

expected to cause some drama this year -- drones. if you get a drone as a gift, you'll now need to register it with the government -- and this is not just for new drones - it applies to anyone who already owns one. the federal aviation administration said that us residents must register drones online, and you can start as early as next week monday. it's free if you register by january 20th, but after that there's a $5 fee. failure to register a drone can result in a fine - even if it's a small quad-copter you only fly in the backyard. it applies to anything weighing about half a pound to 55 pounds. there are fines if you don't register. a civil penality could be as high as $27 thousnad $500 dollars. and there's a time limit. for anything purchased this week or earlier, you have until febuary 19th. and you have to renew the registration every three years - and yes, that's another $5 fee each time. the faa is doing this to keep a tighter watch on how people are using the airspace. this year, the faa had more than 11-hundred reports of potentially unsafe drone use. that's it for this tech news update, and there's more at cnet.com. from our studios in

building for bryant elementary school was the subject of a special hearing last night. the board ultimately voted to approve almost four million dollars worth of projects related to the construction. part of the project includes a 1 point 2 million dollar reimbursement from the city of sioux city for work done to 31st... jones... and jennings streets during construction. last night's approval means now the district can means now the approval last night's construction. streets during and jennings jones... to 31st... for work done of sioux city for work done to 31st... jones... and jennings streets during construction. last night's approval means now the district can get bids on those projects. 3 a native american tribe in siouxland is giving us more of its plans for a couple of sioux city now.yesterday at the cardinal conference center... the c - e - o of ho - chunk, incorporated... lance morgan... talked about plans for the 75 million dollar "flatwater crossing." it's a master planned community to be built along the missouri river. it's

urban neighborhood with a network of trails... greenspaces... and river views. morgan says it'll have a mix of apartments... townhomes... standard homes... and a village center for a restaurant and office space. morgan hopes to start work this spring on the project... it could take 10 years to finish. morgan also says there are plans to develop the former atokad park race track. the tribe wants to turn it into a casino... and he's asking folks in nebraska to sign three petitions that would ultimately let people approve of almost *all* forms of gambling in the state. 3 now the department of homeland security is being critisized for pulling the plug on two federal programs set up to track terrorists on american soil. as our national correspondent kristine frazao shows us... two former employees have stepped forward say how worried they are about the government's approach to

3 [sot philip haney/former dhs employee]"we hear of the "see something, say something" and i did say something."in 2012, philip haney was a highly specialized counter terrorism expert within the department of homeland security.haney says after he connected dots to a fundamentalist islamic group in california he told his bosses at d-h-s. california terrorist syed farook would go on to have ties to the same group haney had on his radar years earlier. [haney]"they closed the case down because of civil rights and civil liberties." haney says his findings could have potentially put farook on a no fly list and the visa farook's wife, tashfeen malik was given to come to the u.s. in 2014 could have been denied had d-h-s and the u.s. department of justice not pulled the plug on haney's investigation. the department of homeland security responded to haney's allegations with this statement -- saying in part the office for "civil rights, civil liberties reviews allegations of civil rights violations and makes policy recommendations to ensure the department upholds the constitution and our laws." dhs added personnel are not

permitted to independently create terrorist related lookouts in a database. but haney is not the only one going public in recent days to talk about questionable federal policies. john cohen, a former acting under- secretary at d-h-s told abc news, homeland security barred immigration experts from reviewing social media messages of all foreigners applying for u.s. visas. preventing experts from seeking out malik's online messages in support of terror groups.cohen told abc it was "primarily a question of optics. there were concerns from a privacy and civil liberties perspective." clifford may is with the foundation for defense of democracies.[sot clifford may/foundation for the defense of democracies]"we are being very politically correct and we are sacraficing the ability to learn about people coming to this country because of that kind of reticencein clifford may's mind, there's little doubt islamist groups will continue to exploit weaknesses in america's policies. i'm kristine frazao

3 yesterday marked 104 - years since explorers first went to the south pole.here's a picture from that day on december 14 - th... 1911. leading the team of explorers was norwegian (rolled) roald (ah - mund - sen) amundsen. the team spent three days at the south pole... measuring and mapping their position. despite all their work... the pole that marks the south pole moves about 15 - feet every year with the ice. that means the marker has to be moved every year.the pole is still a harsh isolated environment... but more than 100 years later it's much more accessible through advancements in technology. so how cold does it get at the south pole in the winter? negative 76 - degrees fahrenheit.

3 one of the world's largest desalination plants is giving hundreds of thousands of people in southern california an unlimited source of drinking water... the pacific ocean. the plant... located north of san diego in carlsbad... will generate *millions* of gallons of freseswater a day as califofoia grapples with a historic drouout. c - b - s news correspondent chris martinez takes us inside the plant as officials celebrated its completion. 3 the largest desalination plant in the western hemisphere is turning the pacific ocean into *fresh* drinking water...it's expected to supply water to 400-thousand residents in the san diego region.((sot: mark weston/ san diego co. water authority board of directors, chair))"it's about 10-percent of our water supply. it's drought proof."(vid -- handout of time lapse aerial of construction)after 3 years of construction --(vid -- inside plant) the 1-billion dollar plant -- built by a private company -- houses an elaborate

filtration system.((sot: carlos riva/ poseidon water ceo))"the plant will produce 50-million gallons of pure potable water a day, and in order to do that we draw 100- million from the pacific ocean."((stand-up: chris martinez/ cbs news/ carlsbad, ca))"the seawater is sucked into a network of pipes, where reverse osmosis is used to strip salt from the water. the leftover saltwater is then pumped back into the ocean." critics say the process could harm marine life, and that the water will cost *twice* as much as other sources.but officials say this plant is just part of the solution to deal with drought.((sot: carlos riva/ poseidon water ceo))"large scale desalinatiti is a viable option n that can be part of a a portfolio of resources, along with a number of other things including conservation."the san diego water authority will buy all of the fresh water generated here for 30 years.commercial operations will begin in the next couple weeks.chris martinez, cbs news, carlsbad. 3 folks in san diego are expected to see a 5 - dollar

increase in their water bills to cover the cost of desalination. the plant struggled with more than a dozen lawsuits from opponents... and more than a decade of negotiaiaons before construction started in 20 - 12. 3 a sioux city hospital is doing what it can to protect people from the elements this winter.mercy medical center has set up a hat and mitten tree in the lobby of its downtown hospital. anyone who needs a warm winter hat or a pair of mittens can come in and take some from the tree... no questions asked. 3 "we feel that it's a way to give to the community and allow for those.. since we have a lot of people that walk through the skywalk here in the downtown areaeaa lot of people are coming in here .. a lot of people see them. i think it's perfectly located downtown for people to come and pick it up"mercy is also a drop - off location for siouxland news' 20 - 15 coats for kids caaign. you can drop of a new or gently - used winter coat for kids in need here in siouxland.

3 yesterday was traditionally the busiest day of the year for the u - s postal serviceand this year it was even busier here in sioux city. postmaster marcus schultze says people are sending more packages... package shipment has gone up twtwty percent. he says to make the process of shipping presents easier for everyone... there are a few things you should do before coming to the post office. 3 "t to have your packages already prepared before you get here. have the to and the from information on it so it's legible and it's ready to go. we have a lot of the packing supplies here but if you have everything ready to go before you get here then you only have to stand in line once "schultze recommends addressing your package by using black lettering in all capital letters... d most importanany... you should know *when* you want your package to arrive. 3 many regional airlines are struggling to find pilots... due in part to the high cost of flight school. now...

to face the pilot shortage. the airline is launching a program to recruit students with little or no experience... and train them to fly. air shows are another way to encourage aviation careers. the breitling jet team is on its first american tour right now. c - b - s news correspondent john blackstone climbed aboard and learned first t hand how w their r performances can inspire young people to become pilots. 3 ctm script: (natsot- cockpit audio) "we line up runway 2-1" "you still want to go?"(john) ha ha, i'll come with you. (narr 1) lifting off in formation, my life was in the hands of pilot gaston marchand. (gaston audio only) it's okay. i had my two coffees in the morning, i'm perfect. (narr 2) flying at speeds of up to 565 miles an hour...natsot...at times, just ten feet apart, the seven powerful l-39 albatross jets are a blend of asthetics, performance and precision. (natsot) marchand is a former french air force pilot who's flown with the team for 12 years. (sot patrick "gaston" marchand ) i began flying gliders when i was fifteen years old.(sot john) air shows helped inspiriryou to fly?(sot patrtrk "gaston"n"marchand ) yeah, i began to attend d r shows when i was a kid. (narr 3) with their brand prominently displayed, the company is spreading the word about its watches. but thierry pressert, president of breitling u.s.a., says there's

another mission here. (sot john )you also want them to discover aviation.(sot thierry prissert/ president of breitling u.s.a. ) that's actually probably our number one goal. (quick-natsot) and when you see these pilots flying those planes at air shows all around the country, you inspire people. (narr 4) and that inspiration could prove critical. some in the aviation industry are predicting a pilot shortage in america within the next ten years. so recruiting young people to the profession has become paramount.(sot thierry prissert ) we want momo pilots. we'd like the aviation to flourish. we'd like the world of aviation to be a little more popular. (narr 5) it's estimated some 21,000 pilots will be turning 65 and face mandatory retirement from the four major airlines. those jobs are often filled by military fliers or younger regional pilots moving up. but these days, fewer people are pursuing careers in the cockpit...in part because of the increasing costs of education and flight time...an investment of up to $200,000 to qualify to become a commercial pilot. cbs news aviation and safety expert, captain "sully" sullenberger, says what's really needed is raising pilot wages at regional airlines. (captain "sully" sullenberger/ cbs news aviation and safety expert) it really doesn't make sense for entry level jobs in aviation to sometimes pay less than $20,000 dollars a year, or just over $20,000 a year, when it requires a lot of trainingng i think that the major airlines must bear some responsibilitytyor this current situation. (narr 6) but at air shows, the challenges of the aviation industry gets lost in the clouds. what's on display here is the joy of flight. (natsot) (narr 7) thomas janke 17 and his 14 year old sister sydney have their hearts set on becoming pilots.(john ) is

this any part of what made you want to fly?(sot sydney/14 year old) yeah!quick natsot (thomas janke/ 17 year old) seeing them, maybe one day that could be me up there. (narr 8) and for one show at least i am part of the breitling jet team. surviving tight turns and loops. (john - great shot from his iso camera ) "we're all upside down together!" (narr 9) - discovering that pulling 4-5 g's causes the blood in your head to rush south. natsot(gaston audio only) "we are just ordinary people doing extraordinary things."

3 3 a new study today in jama pediatrics is raising concerns about expectant mothers taking anti - depressants. but doctors say there are a lot of factors to think here. c - b - s news correspondent (we - juh) weijia (jang) jiang has the story. 3 new data from researchers in canada suggests the risk of autism nearly *doubles* for children whose mothers take anti-depressants during pregnancy. (gfx) the findings show the risk shot up *87-percent* in pre-school children whose mothers took drugs such as prozoz.. or zoloft..in the second or third trimesterbut doctors warn *untreated depression* poses its own risks for baby.. and that the autism risk remains *very low* overall -- between one and two percent. (pipe 2 12.11.15 sot: dr. max wiznitzer/ child neurologist/ rainbow babies & children's hospital)2:21 ** that means that the chances of these woman *not* having a child with autism were about 97-98 percent.. dr. alan manevitz is a psychiatrist who looked at the study. 40:20 ** people should not panic. he says he will continue to prescribe anti-depressants to pregnant women who ((sot dr. alan manevitz, clinical psychiatrist, lenox hill hospital) 31:41) **over the years i've worked with many obstetricians and we have to

decide for each person what the risk/benefit ratio is. doctors emphasize the most important thing is to keep taking prescribed medications and consult your physician .. *not* stop abruptly..and they say talk-therapy and other non- drug options may be an alternative for certain patients. weijia jiang, cbs news, washington. 3 3 hoverboards areeoo hot to handle fororsome compmpies. we'll take a look next...

3 good morning, (ponca state

not just for new drones - it applies to anyone who already owns one. the federal aviation administration said that us residents must register drones online, and you can start as early as next week monday. it's free if you register by january 20th, but after that there's a $5 fee. failure to register a drone can result in a fine - even if it's a small quad-copter you only fly in the backyard. it applies to anything weighing about half a pound to 55 there are fines if you don't register. a civil penality couldlde as high as $27 thousnad $5050dollars. and there's a time limit. for ything purchased this week or earlier, you have until febuary 19th. and you have to renew the registration every three years - and yes, that's another $5 fee each time. the faa is doing this to keep a tiwatch on how people using the airspace. th year,had mo rreports of plyunsafe duse. that's it for this u athere's more at rom ourstudios in & new york, i'm brget carey. *
