>> new this morning, a community prepares to say goodbye to the youngest victim of the arizona mass shooting and people at home people are placing blame. the new anti-palin posters you might see on the way to work the results are out for 2010. california doing a little better, but will it last? what it means for future of the bay area and all over california in a live report. >> you heard of the easy rider. how about the drunken rider? the police shot you have to see to believe and there is more a live look outside the bay bridge toll plaza. folks are already out and about. 5:00 on thursday, january 13th, this is today in the bay.

>> good morning. thanks for joining us. >> we want to get you started with a look at the traffic and weather. we start off with christina loren. is it true? is it going to be balmy? >> i don't think balmy is the proper word, but i was right about the 63 yesterday. i'm glad i amped up the temperatures. it was a mild day. places near santa cruz ended up at 68 degrees. we had 63 in san jose and morgan hill was 63 and 65 was the big winner for the bay area in saratoga. we start out mild, not as mild as it was yesterday. temperature-wise towards the low 60s and a few showers to the north. we will let you know if you can expect that coming up.

>> the showers may affect the drive. things tend to slow down. what we are looking at right now, an accident that took place overnight, but there might be activity. chp is on scene a car went into a ditch by san bruno avenue. you might see flashing lights and a distraction. keep that in mind. the travel on 101 moving smoothly into the city and north of 92. north and southbound 101 on a normal schedule. we will slow around 7:00 or 7:30, we will see good slowing starting early. over to you. >> it's 5:02 and a funeral will be held for the youngest version of the arizona rampage. christina taylor green will be laid to rest. she was born on september 11th, 2001. a flag that survived the

collapse of the twin towers will be displayed at the funeral. she went to the gathering in hopes of meeting the congresswoman. >> days after being shot in the head, the congresswoman opened one eye. her other eye was damage and remains bandaged. two of her closest friends when giffords squeezed one hand and opened her eye. one woman said she felt like she was watching a miracle. >> sar palin is getting a lot of attention for the shooting. some say her rhetoric is partly had to blame for the violence. anti-palin posters are popping up in san francisco. as you can see, they have words saying enrage them with fear until they feel justified with their violence. while the anti-palin sentiment

is out there, new polls show not a majority of people blame palin and others for the violence. a gallup poll released found 53% of people think that politicians are actually using the tragedy to make conservatives look bad. 35% do think what happened shows how dangerous language can be. the poll also asked people if skrikter gun control measures are needed and 20% said yes, they would want those things and could have prevented the shooting. 72% said in this situation, tighter controls would not have made a difference >> a teen girl is in the hospital and a suspect is on the loose. the 15-year-old was walking home near the intersection after 1:00 saturday morning when she was hit by a car. we have video that was rolling at the time of the accident. it's hard to make out, but you can just make out people nearby running to help the girl who was

rushed to the hospital. she in critical condition. police need help identifying the car and the driver. if you have information, call the police department. >> mixed news on the housing front. foreclosures fell in 2010, but the new numbers may not tell the complete story. marla tellez joins us to make sense of it all >> the number of homes that were in some stage of foreclosure fell by almost 5%. that was good news released today. this was a missed mexage for two reasons much of what happens depends on the trend of unemployment. the thought is more people go to work and more people stay in their homes. they don't factor in a backlog of homes or are already foreclose and just not lifted yet. regardless realty track reports

shows over 51,000 homes were in a stage of foreclosure and 2010 is a 4.7% decrease from 2009. for the month of december, about 61 human human homes were in foreclosure, a 25.5% drop from december of '09. a 9% increase from the month before in november. nationally it's a different story. a record number of homes are in a stage of foreclosure compared to a year ago, 2.9 million homes. encouraging news, you but 1 in 25 homes in the state is currently in foreclosure. that is the stark reality. coming up in the 6:00 hour, i will break down the new numbers county by county and get a sense of what's happening in your neighborhood >> good to note. a tour bus carrying japanese business men burst into flame,

causing the closure of san antonio road in palo alto. it start ntd imagine com part and spread up the rear of the bus and into the cabin the driver said he heard a loud bang from the back of the bus followed by smoke from the engine. all 35 passengers were evacuated and most of the luggage made it off the bus. there were no reported injuries. san francisco police could have a new chief and a new weapon in the fight against crime. ed lee will make a final decision on the next police chief. stun guns could be introduced as soon as next month. the police commission will meet on february 9th to debate the plan on vote on the issue. one of the largest cruise ships in the world is setting course for san francisco. the carnival splandor is set to drop anchor at pier 70.

half hour. i will make sure it clears and if there problems. there goes a to truck. we are okay heading across the bridge. back to the maps and see what's going on. more debris reported there. right around the almaden expressway. metal or wood in the roadway. another crew will head out. watch when you see a slowing. very light volumes heading into san francisco and it will be light the last couple of days. right about 6:30. back to you. >> a pretty shot and nice day yesterday. >> yeah. >> the south bay was in for a treat yesterday. this morning we have widespread cloud cover. keeping things mild and mostly cloudy skies unfortunately and temperatures won't be as warm as where they ended up yesterday. we have a significant warm up in time for the weekend.

he told the family he was sorry for not telling them he was going to commute the sentence of esteban nunez who was involved in santos's murder and was the son of fabian nunez. they said the apology is insigne seer and the result of bad publicity. >> we said we hadn't heard from him and now he wrote us. i think it's just to shut them up, let's drop the letter and send it out. >> they believe commuting the sentence is nothing more than a political favor. they are planning legal action against the state. >> my stays was a hot commodity, but how much is it really worth? that's one of the things we have to look at. they were the hot thing and facebook took their spot. >> it's interesting to see the switch over. scott joins us now with more

day at school. it's not just the fried stuff, the proposed rule wants to limit starchy veggies and corn cutting back on lowering the calorie count overall and milk that is 1% or fat free. this is signed by president obama just a few weeks ago. the ag department still asking for public comments. if you want to talk about it, you can. the challenge for schools is for food service departments to make sure they can do this because the fresh fruit will cost them more. schools who meet the standards will get more to help pay for it. this does not apply to what sold in vending machines or at school stores. live in pleasanton, christie smith, today in the bay. >> thanks for the update. >> the vallejo shooting suspects are behind bars. four suspects in the vallejo

musician is in jail. tucker was on the way to church when he was fatally shot in the car on westbound highway 80. he was apparently killed in a case of mistaken identity. they believe the suspects mistook tucker for a member of a rival gang and shot him. they have been booked into the sonoma jail for changes of experience to commit murder use of a firearm that resulted in the death. police say one of the men charged in the deadly shoot suggest accused of another murder in sonoma county. the district attorney said raul vega murdered 20-year-old man over the weekend in a dispute between rival gangs. vega allegedly stabbed a man and they linked vega to the murder. in richmond, police are biz ingest vating two shootings that

and won't repair it for several days. until then, the pipeline cannot function fully. to help you save, we have a look at the cheapest gas prices in the bay area. according to gas buddy.com, the valero on san pablo avenue has gas for 3.17 a gallon. the arco on willow pass and one on monument boulevard are charging 3.17. in san francisco, the cheapest gas is redwood city. the costco on middlefield charges $3.21. it's 33.19 on mo's top and at the gas and shop as well. now the lovely laura garcia canyon. >> i remember when i used to wash your windows. >> major slow downs throughout one city. a series of planned power outages in fremont and they will affect key routes through the

680 over by fry's and the mall. pacific commons, those will be affected 8:00 to 9:00 and 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. it will not likely affect the morning or the evening, if you beat the commutes, you will have a delay as it's treated as a four-way stop. we sorted it out and freeways moving through the area. union city with a fun zone. updates for the treadmill on the roadway approaching the toll plaza cleared by the bridge crew, a smooth flow, but the volume is picking up. no delays here. we have delays through antioch. spees close to 20 miles per hour as you hit leverage. we will send it over to the bay bridge. the flow is smooth through here. back to you. >> time is coming occupy 5:40. honoring the victims of the arizona mass shooting. what's in store for today in

i had no choice. i wanted to do something bigger than myself. that 3-day gave me that opportunity. and i can actually do something to help. i think it's a very bold thing to do. 60 miles in 3 days-- i can do that. i'm sure if it was 100 miles, we'd still walk it. it was a big statement for me of... (voice breaks) i'm alive. we can do this. we can do this. we can rid the world of this terrible disease... so that no mother... granddaughter... sister... daughter... mother... go through what my wife had to go through. this is more than just three days. this is a lifetime. (man) register today for the... and receive $25 off your registration fee. because everyone deserves a lifetime. the arizona shooting rampage

has many members fearing for their own safety. some lawmakers have to carry their own guns. live on a controversial new bill that could allow them to do just that. good morning, tracy. >> there is a republican from texas who is draffing legislation and said that would allow members of congress to carry their own firearms. there was a hand gun ban in place, but he said members need to be able to protect themselves like things we saw in arizona over the weekend. there have been lots of discussions here since last weekend about how members of congress can do that. they had a security briefing with the police and the fbi. they don't like this idea of members carrying weapons, but when they were in places like san jose, they may need to contact local offices when they are hosting the events to see if they can get local officers to

provide extra protection. they are still talking about whether the political climate here in washington might contribute to this. there is a lot of discussion and disagreements many democrats saying they need to tone back. many republicans saying it's inappropriate to assign that to this particular incident and it was a disturbed individual, a lone gunman who was responsible, but to put politics in it is not appropriate at this point. >> thank you very much, tracy. >> meantime the nation paused to remember the victims of the shooting. thousands packing the public arena the at university of arizona and tucson to honor the fallen, reflect, and to heal. president obama delivered the main address in a moving and uplifting service. 26,000 people attended the president paid tribute to the six kill and spoke at length about 9-year-old christine

taylor green. she had been just elected to student council at her elementary school when she was shot and killed. >> i want our democracy to be as good as christina imagined it. i want america to be as good as she imagined it. >> the president also honored the 13 wounded survivors. the crowd erupted into applause as he shared the latest on the congresswoman's condition he visited her moments before a 10ing the memorial and said while he was there, she opened her eye for the first time since being shot in the head. certainly a good sign. tucson is not only place where people are paying respects. people in the bay area are also remembering her last night. >> he came to this with a sense of commitment and a spirit to serve. that's the example that young people all over the country have witnessed and that's an example

that i believe young people are following. >> heavy weights like barbaraly and jean quan attended in oakland. there were dozens of young people and members of the young democrats. one people said giffords was the voice of the people and inspired her to inspire her career in politics. >> good morning and thanks for joining us. >> we will get through traffic and weather in about a minute. first we want to take a moment to congratulate the winner of the say cheese christmas photo contest. >> braid mcdonald is not so happy about meeting santa. 2 1/2-year-old brady with his mom won a trip to disneyland because of that photo. maybe that will make him happier to see santa next year. >> watch out for the disney characters though. he will be screaming again

5:46 and we want to check the commute with mike. >> out to antioch where i want to show folks a different flow. my maps stopped again. let me show you this. we have slow-moving chicklets. it was in the 20s until about two minutes ago. the maps will update slowly. out of the pass, speeds above 50. once you get into the heart of livermore, that's an unusual pattern. the travel times are normal, but you will be delayed to the west. now we will take you out to the roadways, things will not stutter here. you were right. the crews did move the cones. two northbound and the rest of soch traffic flowing out of the north bay. a clear view, but it might change. >> oh, yes. things are changing in the north

and east bays. today, the south bay you will enjoy living inland, places like san jose will reach 62 degrees and sunshine overcast conditions in the peninsula and the north bay. a few showers will see activity push onshore right now we have showers coming down this santa rosa. courtesy of a system bringing heavy rain to places like seattle, washington state. we are looking good all the way across the board if you are trying to get to southern california. no problems. here's where the showers are taking place they are starting to really amplify in places like santa rosa. that could slow the chute. you may count on giving yourself extra time. san jose, san francisco overall dry right now and the clouds are coming in as well. it's still going to be mild. 62 in gilroy and yesterday you

hit 63 in morgan hill. one or two degrees cooler a few light showers and all the activity will really start to diminish into tonight and by tomorrow, 63 degrees. sun and clouds to kickoff the weekend. back to you. >> you are making it up. it's going to feel good. san francisco giants could be hitting the airwaves with their own tv series. live now in san francisco with the details on what that's all about. >> a good morning to you. the san francisco giants did take over the airways for a short time last year during the world series. what the country got to see happened pretty much on the field. now there is a chance they might be able to get a behind the scenes play by play of what goes on off the field. entertainment weekly reporting that the network is featuring the team in a reality document series. no surprise considering the loveable cast of characters. brian wilson and tim lincecum
