the cal bears go duck hunting. was it enough to upset the number one team in the country? >> good morning, everyone. maybe jim harbau and his cardinals were on to something this week when they refused to look ahead any further than yesterday and arizona state even though stanford boasted an offense that averaged over 42 points per game and the sun devils were sputtering around with a sub .500 record. the cardinals were prepared for fight and is that what the home team gave them.

a low scoring affair as well. first quarter no score to the plunge, one yard strike. 7-0, cardinal on top. fourth quarter now 13-10, asu not going going for andrew luck and company. they orchestrated this drive which ended with another one-yard score. stanford does survive 17-13 the final. and speaking of upsets bid, the cal bears are all about it. the crew tried to knock off the number one team in the land, oregon at strawberry canyon yesterday. third quarter, 15-7, ducks. oregon deep in its territory and derrick hill has the ball swatted away by darren thomas, going to recover it in the end zone. touchdown, cal. the two-point attempt no good. 15-13. later in the fourth the bears the chance to take the lead. 24-yard field goal is good. not so fast. that's a penalty. illegal motion on the kicker. five yards and a rekick. the 29-yard attempt it's no

good. the first miss under 30 yards in his career. pretty bad timing. bears, the heartbreaker, as they fall 15-13. well the warriors new ownership group is wasting no time. yesterday the team announced that all remaining tickets from monday night's game against the pistons at oracle are 50% off as will be all concessions that night. as for last night, golden state wrapping up a five-game road trip with a visit to milwaukee where the bucks jumped out to a big lead early in the fourth quarter. the warriors have cut it to three. john salmon, yes, taking care of that. the dribble drive and fade away. it falls. the bucks go up 77-72. they put it away. warriors lose 79-72. out at the tank the sharks trying to put out the flames and snap a streak for one of their top scorers. second period, the streak was over, first shots are going to be stopped, but pavelski hammers

home the rebound. 3-1 sharks. third period they need a little bit of insurance, it's 3-2. taking care of that. sixth goal of the year proves to be the game winner. sharks get the win 4-3. they were a feel-good story in the mls postseason but the underdog earthquake wanted more than that. after kicking -- knocking off the top seed in the last round, the eighth seed quake had their eye on a championship. to get there, though, they would have to take care of business in eastern conference finals. last night in very chilly colorado, the winner would advance to the mls cup. no score until the 42nd minute. the first strike. proves to be the only one, unfortunately, for san jose, he played for the rapids. the quakes fall, their season is over. the rapids move on to the championship game. and talk about drama last night. as manny pacquiao talk on antonio magarito. first pacquiao's camp accused

facebook and google which might have to reassess their business practices, hire new supervisors to stick to the laws. the companies have no one to blame but themselves. facebook is in the news for the appearance of privacy violations if not actual legal violations and google as we reported many times has been in a huge legal bog over its street mapping car. wolf blitzer will be at stanford university to talk to the fifth annual daniel pearl memorial lecture. while working for "the wall street journal" he was taken into custody and later killed by insurge insurgents. the lecture series was founded in pearl's memory and celebrates his life's work of connecting people through words and music. the event is free and open to the public. you saw a sneak peek of that video. here's what it's about.

the country getting ready for snow and we get this today. time to pick up the phone and do bragging. even healthy food can make you fat a surprising conclusion from scientists this morning. public health nurses weighed and measured more than 900 fourth graders in norway. they found that by and large, overweight kids tended to eat more fruits, vegetables and brown bread which means it has less to do with the food served and how much of that they are eating. scientists say that overweight kids are more likely to get less exercise and to have overweight parents. some time after the age of 13 somewhere between the low fat and nonfat food seems to have lost its flavor. now with the holiday season approaching we can break the cycle of yo-yo dieting with the help of jennifer. she reports that the answer could be as simple as eat what you love and love what you eat. >> reporter: so much food looks so good, but do you look at this and think, wow, i would love to eat this but i can't be bad.

love to eat. but they don't eat in a way that shows they love to eat. if you love something you slow down, you taste it, you savor it, you notice it. >> the signature dish. >> reporter: we get the specialty like a thanksgiving banquet on a plate. >> if i ate this whole thing i would want to sleep the rest of the day and regret it a little bit. >> if you have a little bit half or a quarter or however much, then you'll get to enjoy it and you'll still feel good. that's the best of both worlds. >> reporter: she recommends speed bumps like this to slow you down, even putting the amount you think you should eat on a separate plate. >> you're not eating what goes up. you are eating what you think will close the gap between how hungry you are and feel when you are finished. >> i could eat about this much without feeling uncomfortable. >> exactly. >> reporter: still room for cake but maybe a few bites. >> it's going to be the most

what a pretty day to get out and enjoy the sites whether in the city, anywhere around the city, no rain, little breeze but good reason to wear a nice hat. california is $25 billion in the hole and governor schwarzenegger is pointing fingers at the legislatures and at us at the voters. nbc political analyst larry gur ston joins us. start with how we can be in a hole this big just after we got a budget. >> let me tell you one thing first he needs to point a finger at himself as well. he is culpable like everybody else and all gets back to the one simple thing, why are we in the hole? because we never got out of the hole. that is why. anybody who's been watching this budget over the last few weeks knew that the budget passed was a fraud. that's all there was to it. full of inflated expectations. full of inflated assumptions

both in terms of anticipated income and help from the federal government. they simply papered over that $5 billion difference between real income and anticipated expenditures. so going into a heated election, no, no, no, let's not deal with reality. democrats didn't want to make these draconian cuts in public education and health services for the elderly and republicans just held firm about raising taxes. they basically fudged the budget. they kicked the can down the road. there is no other way to explain it. >> where does he get off blaming the voters? i speak for the voters, i think, when i say we sat at home watching for 100 days as they went late and it's my fault? >> in fairness the voters are culpable too, not alone, but too, because we passed a couple propositions that make it difficult now for the legislature to raise funds. the proposition 21 which is the one that went ahead -- 22, which went ahead and keeps $5 billion

of the state level instead of returning it to the local governments and also that proposition 26. we have made it harder. there's no question about that. but the legislature and governor knew it was going on and they absolutely just ignored reality. >> so sounds like they asked the boss for a raise and then they spent the money before they got the raise, basically. >> pretty much. >> pretty much. >> so the governor's calling a special session for december 6th and the question that i have is how is that different from a session they already had where they came up with this budget that was a sham? >> he's calling a special session because, you know, the fact of the matter is, without a special session, there's no hope whatsoever. here's the deal. in special sessions you only work on the issue before you. that's all. that's the wonderful thing about a special session. you can't deal with any other bills. so the governor hopes that this new legislature, different composition slightly at least, who will be more open to solving the budget problem. fine. the fact of the matter is, the budget -- as we know they took

100 days to come up with a last one and there's nothing really changed, nothing changed whatsoever. >> 100 days plus because they had the time they had before it was overdue for 100 days. it was 100 days overdue. the question is, how are they going to manage to fix it in this special session. when they want to get home for holiday break and what not? >> the governor is going to say look we have this now $6 billion, 17th special saegs, by the way, that it's called, 16 others didn't prove much good either. this $6 billion gap. we have to fix it. rarely have the special sessions in the past done anything. if they haven't done it before they're not likely to do it now. many of these legislatures will wait for the new governor jerry brown to see what he has to say. some people say well maybe because now it's easier to pass a budget with the majority vote, simple majority vote instead of the two-thirds vote, maybe that will be the break through. what they failed to remember is

it still takes that two-thirds vote to raise taxes. so for many the special session will be a little more, little more i should say, than a photo op. that's about it. a glorified photo op. >> we talk about the fact that the composition is different but it's not really that different, right? >> no. >> we have a new governor elect. how does it play in? >> that's going to be interesting. because down the road, what happens is, the governor, new governor jerry brown, does have one thing going. he's a new leader freshgs leader no question about it. he's going to have to try to convince the legislature to work out a combination of cuts and revenue increases. there's no other way. here's the hitch here. this is a soap opera. always a hitch. the hitch is that brown promised in his campaign not to raise taxes without a vote of the people. if he holds to that promise, chris, we have to expect some sort of special election early next year and why? because we are just running out.

thank you very much. >> we have your blog up on-line, prop 0. along the top the prop 0 tab click on that and get a wealth of knowledge. thank you. >> okay. >> we'll be back with your detailed forecast. plus, while dad was doing special mission training in iraq, wife and daughter were doing a special mission of their own. you have to see this story just ahead.

fremont saw gusts closer to 20 and 25 miles per hour. the wind at 3 to 5 miles per hour, sustained winds. some of the gusts that will come through this afternoon will be 20 to 30. that's not always a windy day around the bay area. once we get into the 50 mile per hour gusts those are gusty wind for us. today we will see closer to 20 and 30. wind advisory for the north bay hills, deebts blo range through monday all in response to a ridge of high pressure off to the west which is taking the storm track up and over us into the pacific northwest. that's where the rain stays at least for this week. next weekend it all changes for us. so the wind in place will notice that wind coming out of the north and northeast. it's a drier wind. the relative humidity comes down a bit. also a warmer wind. we see the numbers back in the mid and some cases upper 70s around the bay area today. state wide gorgeous as well. los angeles, 79. you have 70s for the central valley over to the central beaches and central coast as well. nice 60s to near 70.

guess who was standing there waiting to greet him. mom took 2-year-old savannah to therapists for over a year but kept savannah's progress a secret. when he got a look at his girl it was clear her hard work paid off. >> it's all i could ask for. my daughter can walk. >> savannah was diagnosed with spina bifida da, a problem with fluid that brings nutrients to the brain. because of that she would never walk again but there she goes. did you cry? craig did. we did. all right. so we have a windy forecast on tap. that's a good thing because i know you said you cried a little bit. >> great story. >> we have wind in place today and then some sunshine, so some 70s next weekend, though, if you got something you want to get done this weekend, a bike ride
