the big game is hours away. there's a big change at yankee stadium. we have that and the hoops highlights. good morning, everyone. before the somewhat surprising start to the season, the team has not won in years. golden state had the opportunity to do something it hasn't done in decades, two decades to be exact. last night, warriors facing the nickelbackers. david lee without colliding. no trouble scoring. a huge error. flies in for the jam. he had the game by 40 points. warriors started down 14. here they come. a three-point barrage. the warriors down. on the other end, the knicks by

four. that would be the dagger. the knicks go on to win 125-119. the warriors take their first loss. fans of women's basketball team is ranked third in the nation. last night an undisclosed medical issue forced them to go with the big two. they had to step up as they head to salt lake city to face utah. hitting the three. she extends the lead. a high 19-point game. working inside, banks off the glass. the cardinal win, 62-53. well, there's no doubt about it. the standford football team has a target on its back. the one loss does keep them in

rose bowl contention. last week, arizona state pushed them to the edge and today, they hit them over. it's the annual big game. strawberry canyon is the place to be. the bears are just one win away from bowling themselves for more victory and they will be eligible. when that's on the rivalry game, nothing else matters. >> it's a good game. anything can happen in a year. you know, records don't really matter. for this game, i think they are looking at it as we are zero, zero. >> this is the last big game played at memorial stadium. the bears play football at at&t park. today, we are going to get a couple previews of what to expect. they are in yankees stadium in the ballpark. under the lights, they had to do something about all the dirt. crews working overtime to

>> classroom building, apartment building. i found a child care center on the list. >> reporter: among the buildings rated poor are davis hall. eight stories of halls, classes and laboratoryryes. the theater. 2111 bancroft, home to the career center. the universities own assessment in 1997 of the threat to that building finishing ominously. bolted angle connections will fail. this will likely lead to complete collapse of the building. still, a rheetro fit wasn't completed. none of it surprises the people in charge. >> i knew everything that was going to be there. >> ed denton is the vice president of facilities. in california, the public

university system is unique when it comes to seismic safety. there's little overright to itself for making improvement. something his school is doing as quickly as it can. >> we made progress. we completed upgrades on two buildings. one is the student union building. >> reporter: most dangers have been known for a decade. in that time, millions have been spent on new buildings while older ones remain unimproved. how can that be? the answer has to do with money or lack of it. new construction is often financed by private donors. >> at the buildings where the students reside for research are state-supported building. they won't give us money for an upgrade. >> reporter: with the budget situation looking like it does, he doesn't expect a flood of

money anytime soon. >> they will continue on at the current pace and hope it doesn't run out. a berkeley memorial stadium sits on top of the fault line. money for that came through a fund raising campaign, not from the state. abc and cbs are in the middle of a real-live fbi drama not made for tv. who sent a threatening letter to the mail room for "dancing with the stars". it's an abc show shot on the cbs lot. it shows the powder is talcum powder, baby powder, but sent to a lab for more testing. they have stirred up intense emotions after bristol palin made the show's finals and they feel she shouldn't have.

panic in a southern california city and the drinking water could be eliminated. everyone was rushing to get bottled water. it was triggered after news a chemical was found in drinking water. city police took over the distribution of water, handing out one bottle per car last night. it caused tensions to rise. >> i'm not arguing. i'm asking for more water. >> it's all we have. we can't have anymore. >> the chemical could change hormone levels. boiling, freezing or sitting letting it set out doesn't take the chemical out of the water. san francisco city college student steven lee was released

from a detention center where he was held two months. he was released after diane f e finestein stalled it. the dream act gives undocumented immigrant children citizenship if they came to the u.s. before the age of 15 and were attending college. lee came to the u.s. illegally with his parents when he was 12. he was studying to become a nurse. he did not know his illegal status. coming up today on the bay, pilots do not have to go through the pa itdt'meay it'ss double s that shouldn't be allowed.
