valley creek. they don't want a densely populated neighborhood. summer hill homes tells the county times that their company will try to work with the community on this. they are not surprised that there is opposition to this plan. they say sometimes folks look at open ranch land and think it's going to be like that. it's hard to see it as private land. the planning commission meets and it will be an opportunity for the public to comment. it will be an environmental impact report that's normal in a situation like that. they are saying that could take nine months to a year. this is months out if they were to get approved where they are putting a shovel into the ground. bob redell, today in the east bay. >> fremont neighbors will say goodbye to a barnes and noble store and hope a whole foods will move in by the end of december. a spokes person would only say

they did most of the offensive work, running the opening kickoff for a touchdown and catching a td pass. but the dolphin diagnosis their best work in the second half. the final score is 33-17 and dominated possessions. the raiders fall below 500. the former raider jerry rice was inducted into the football hall of fame and already we are talking about next year's class. the semi finalists were named yesterday and the bay area is well-represented. 26 people among them including 49er owner. he ran the team during the montana-rice era. three former 49ers and three former raiders. of the raiders, roger craig, charles hayley who has a couple of rings of his own and for the raiders, tim brown is leading the way. lester hayes and ray guy.

time is 4:44 and a look outside the oracle arena. want to be inside as cold as it is. trying to limit the damage of the release of classified documents by the whistle blowing website wiki leaks. they reveal the private thoughts of diplomats from simple gossip to negotiations. as brian moore tells us it reveal what is some see as questionable acts by the u.s.

government. the united states was not just spying on top diplomats by the secretary bond. we wanted everything from the dmna to frequent flyer numbers. that is one of untold thousands of revelations in the quarter million classified do you means now spreading over the airwaves and in newspapers around the globe. >> you will see the actual opinion that our ambassadors are seeing overseas of their counterparts. it's not going to be pretty. >> there intimate revelations with pakistan and claims the saudi king pushed for a u.s. attack on the nuclear capabilities and even gossip about the royal family. the founder said the state department wants to stop the leaks for good reason. >> not seeing anything at all would be not seeing the abuses

by that organization. >> the white house don e condemned the leaks as reckless and dangerous. >> the people at wikileaks could have blood on their hands. >> wikileaks said there more leaks on the way. brian moore, nbc news, washington. >> 4:46 and we want to check in with mike with the latest on the morning commute. >> we showed you showing going northbound. the sensors have smoothed out out of sunol and into pleasanton. one of the reasons we might get patchy slowing with light traffic. you can't see the incline. visibility might be an issue around the golf course. we will take you out to the san mateo bridge. hayward with a smooth drive. no major construction block the roadways. it's chilly out there as you know. >> speaking of chilly, a nice

bowlful would be good. it is downright cold out there. >> it is. you saw the bridge with the temperatures near the water and the upper 30s. oakland 35 closing in on a record low which is 34. we will see if you get that at 5 miles per hour. concord is 33. down to 31 degrees and the wind is light in the 20s and 30s likely across the trivalley. nothing showing up in terms of rain. most of the clouds off to the north despite the chilly start. a nice afternoon. you won't need the umbrella, but keep it on stand by. highs pretty much no matter where you go from the coast to the east bay. mainly mid 50s. 20s and 30s to start and mid 50s later. tomorrow morning not quite as cold. still patchy frost. wednesday we will see the clouds filling in and a good bet of rain off and on. showers to kickoff the upcoming

weekend. >> congress returns to work extending tax cuts and funding the government to avoid a shut down. both will impact how investors act as we head into december. we turn to courtney reagan live at cnbc world headquarters. hope huh a great thanksgiving. >> it was a nice thanksgiving, but definitely back to work. it will be busy on wall street. we lost steam and there is some relief. $113 billion bailout for ireland and we are keeping an eye on the korean peninsula and that is making markets nervous around the world. no economic data today, but we get news on home prices, consumer confidence, auto sales, manufacturing and productivity and jobs reports. trade will begin at 11,092.

in some estimates as high as $40 billion. many cash-strapped states are anxious, but they contend various state and local tax codes make collecting sales tax very difficult. on black friday you may walk into a store and it's easy to tell the difference between a scam and a legitimate business. as nbc's bob hansonle tells us, when you go online, it could be harder to tell. >> they are always trying to scam money from people and information, but at this time of year, it increases. there is so much activity. >> with the virus protection company he said scam artists will try to make their illegal businesses look legit. don't you believe it. >> if you don't know that site, ask other people about it. if no one knows the site, seek

out a deal somewhere else. >> shop familiar websites. don't fall for deals from sites you never heard of. that including unsolicited e-mails. >> when someone gets an e-mail something to the effect of an i pad for free for filling out a survey, people need to think about that. nothing is really free. >> when you look through the e-mail, watch out for links with special offers, even if it claims to be from a name brand company. >> don't trust the link. go to the site manually and search. bypass the link. it's more time, but it can save you a ton of money and heartache. >> make sure it's a secure soit sight. look for the https on the address bar showing the site is protecting your transaction. finally when you pull out the plastic, it might be wise to have a credit or debit card just

for online shopping with a low credit limit. >> for the card is exposed, the criminal can't get away with much basically. >> whether or not you like it, it's time to do something with your thanksgiving leftovers. the usda said if you have not eaten leftovers by now, you either have to freeze them or toss them. if the turkey and other fixings have been refrigerated, they should be safe to freeze. smelling the food to make sure is fine, but never do a taste check. it's important to remember the old adage, when it doubt, throw it out. can't believe that. we have way too much stuff to freeze right now or throw away. we can go for months. a morning cup of joe may do you more than wake you up. researchers at brown university found people who drank a half cup of coffee or more had a 34%

decrease in the risk of a brain tumor called a gleoma. the effect is slitly stronger in men and only applies that gleoma. we turn to laura who is gleaming. >> that early in the morning on one cup of joe? good morning to you. i hope you had a great holiday. a fight could end with more than two million more eligible for green cards. we will tell you why. remember the stimulus spending? we now know where it was spent in the bay area. odds are, you are taking advantage of the products every day. we have the stories and it's that time of the year to choose your benefits. the trend that could have you saving more today and end up costing more in the end. stay with us later today in the

bay. >> have we done our benefits yet? i think she is working on that. leslie nielsen is dead from complications from pneumonia in florida. he was 84. he is best known for the roles in comedies including airplane, but his career started on a different note. on today in the east bay, we take a look back. >> goofball comedy was leslie nielsen's specialty. >> it's happening! you will never take me alive! >> playing a nit wit cop or any number of films that followed, leslie nielsen loved playing the clueless bumbler. >> great fun to watch. i laugh at things i do in the film. i like the dumb looks. >> for the first half of his career, he was almost exclusively a dramatic actor. the canadian's role came with

the sci-fi classic forbidden planet and among his 200 acting credits, the ill-fated captain in the 1972 disaster film the poseidon adventure. airplane changed everything for leslie nielsen. >> can you fly this plane and land it? >> surely you can't be serious. >> i am serious and don't call me shirley. >> a new career path was born. the naked gun capitalized on his bed pan humor to play a nit wit cop. >> the most wonderful thing that happened doing naked gun because the goel mold that has been set others and by myself crumbled. >> the naked ghun two sequels and his bumbling ways continued through numerous films over 20 years. even though his roots were in drama, he told an interviewer in

his native canada in 1991, he was comfortable with comedy being his lasting legacy. >> i think the epitaph should be let em rip. thank you. nbc news. are he is a classic. police issue a warning for women. a search for a man accused of trying to assault a woman near a popular shopping center. plus the spices for holiday baking could be a gateway drug for a life of addiction. the high that kids are trying to turn to. laueral be along with me in a couple of minutes. a live look outside. san jose and the bay area is waking up to a frosty chill. we will have a look at the forecast as well. at
