at the international long shore and warehouse hall near oakland's international airport. "the chronicle" and "mercury news" report he's in the running to be the chief police in san jose which is a surprise considering he hasn't been oakland's police chief for that long of a time. he arrived just over a year ago from long beach with a couple years left on his contract. and over the short time he's been here he has seen the crime rate in this city drop, though it is still high compared to other cities nationwide. so the question is why leave? one report suggests he's very frustrated with the limited resources at his disposal. you may recall last july the department had to lay off 80 police officers stretching the force even thinner than it was before. the president of the oakland police officers association telling the mark he feels defeated. taking on san jose's top job would be a challenge as they are demoralized of accusations of discrimination from people in

the vietnamese and hispanic communities. there's another person in the running for the top job in san jose, and that's chris moore. he's currently the acting police chief. bob redell for "today in the bay." thank you, bob. 6:03 right now. we are learning more about a double shooting in san jose this weekend. police say it has ties to an almost decade-old missing persons case. police arrived at the saratoga shopping center to find maurice nasmeh shot to death and wayne sanchez had a self-inflicted gunshot wound. jeanine harms was last seen in 2001. nasmeh was released for her murder but later let go because the case against him was dropped. we are told the two men had a confrontation earlier that night. >> we are trying to paint the picture by investigating but ultimately we may never know

what exactly was said in that conversation and how much of this was planned or if it was just a heat of passion type crime. >> police are looking into revenge as the motive. nasmeh was the last known person to see harms alive. the family of the missing woman and of the suspect in saturday night's shooting spoke exclusively to nbc bay area. the parents of jeanine harms and wayne sanchez are too devastated to speak this morning. they asked for privacy over the next few days. however, "today in the bay's" dame yap trujillo talked to sanchez's daughters who said they don't know all the facts but know their father cared about his family. >> reporter: this is how his daughters remember wayne sanchez, a smiling caring father. now even they have many unanswered questions. >> we are devastated, but at the momt we don't know all the details because it is still under investigation. and we are just trying to be strong. >> christine sanchez is 18. her sister nicole is 20.

>> we are devastated by the loss of our father. he was a great dad and grandpa. and we just don't know all the details of the situation. and we just hope for us all to be strong and be positive through all this. >> reporter: the daughters spoke to nbc bay area in the same living room where their frustrated grandparents sat last may asking why the person responsible for their daughter's disappearance wasn't behind bars. >> we are going to be dead by then. i'm only -- you know how old i am. very frustrating, it meant waiting and waiting and waiting. and that's what we have been doing. >> reporter: now jesse and georgette sanchez have lost a daughter and a son. >> my girlfriends are really devastated at the loss of their son and daughter. and this is just a really hard situation for all of us, especially for my grandparents. >> reporter: jeanine harms has been missing since nicole awas 0

years old. now their father is also gone. it is 6:05. santa clara squares off against major drug companies in the u.s. supreme court this week. the issue is whether provisions in the federal medicaid program can block legal action against the pharmaceutical industry. santa clara county is forcing nearly a dozen drug lawmakers to reimburse governments across the country for overcharging prescription drug prices. it could be an uphill battle. the obama administration is backing drug companies because they are concerned the lawsuits would clutter federal medicaid oversight with legislation. two years before the deadly pipeline explosion in san bruno last september pg&e was temporarily increasing pressure on that transition line and on others. experts tell "the chronicle" the intentional surges could have weakened the pipe in san bruno. pg&e and the state public

utilities commission say it is not unsafe to increase the pipe's pressure to the legal limit. assuming that limit is set correctly. pg&e's records are being looked at to justify the pressure limits. pg&e pressure tested it between 2003 and 2008. last week pg&e officials say the utility has stopped running pressure in its pipes at the maximum operating limits. newly eight businesses along san francisco's waterfront could be forced to permanent he relocate to make way for the premier event of america's cup 23420, in 2013. the port of san francisco has given notices to businesses at pier 29 that relocated them will be necessary to make room for the spectator area for the salem competition on piers 27 and 29.

"the mercury news" and "the chronicle" report anthony bass is a finalist for the top cop job in san jose. we'll learn more from him when he speaks later at an mlk day event near oakland international. this would be a surprise because bass just arrived from long beach to lead oakland's police

department just over a year ago. he still has a couple years left on his contract even though the crime rate in oakland is still high it has dropped during his short time here. so the question is why would he leave? one report suggests that he's very frustrated with the limited resources at his disposal. last july the department had to lay off 80 police officers stretching the force thinner than it was before. the president of the oakland police officers association told "the mercury news" he, quote, thinks he feels defeated. taking on san jose's top job would also be a challenge. that department has been demoralized by budget cuts and accusations of discrimination from some people in the hispanic and vietnamese community. the other person in the running for the top job in san jose is chris moore. he's a veteran police officer with san jose. he's also the acting police chief, has been ever since long-time chief rob davis left late past year. reporting live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." thank you, bob.

by riding the freedom train from san jose to san francisco. we have video from a couple years ago. the annual ride is a symbolic celebration of dr. king's legacy, the 51-mile trip is the same distance at the same montgomery march that king led in 1965. the freedom train leaves san jose's station at 9:30 this morning making stops for more riders in sunnyvale, palo alto and san mateo before arriving in san francisco. riders in recent years have said the trip was not just about a civil rights legacy but about the dawn of a new day. many people will be volunteering their time in honor of martin luther king jr. today. the mlk day of service is part of united we serve. that is president obama's national call to serve initiative calling for americans to work together to aid the nation's most pressing problems. last year the president and first lady spent the day helping the homeless and poor enjoy a good meal. the president passed out the

now with a reduced visibility across the board. if you have to head out right now, take it easy out there. make sure you are alert once you hit the highway, in particular, up in the south bay. we are seeing some pretty heavy fog from san jose up through the east bay, livermore now reporting a quarter of a mile visibility. concord, some areas are down to feet of visibility. so it is really, really thick out there this morning. and that's going to be the case probably tomorrow morning as well. not as widespread, and more towards the east. this is what's happening. high pressure is in firm control of our weather pattern. we do have a pretty good deck of clouds overhead. we are starting out mild, 49 in san jose. as high pressure amplifies, 62 for fremont. 62 for redwood city. 59 in san francisco. a little more mild in santa cruz. we'll see a lot of sunshine just like we did yesterday, but we have to get through the fog first. a big event today. if you have not made the outdoor plans just yet, and you have bay area pride, we would love you to

and as we head through the next hour, it will be the most dangerous as the sun comes up. so you want to take it easy the next hour. we'll keep ju updated throughout the morning. 48 in santaville. high pressure is in control of the forecast taking the storm track well off to the north creating pretty dangerous conditions in the pacific northwest. a lot of rain is coming down up there. but for us this week high pressure will be in control. and that means we'll start out with a little bit of fog, especially today and tomorrow. and then we are going to see really beautiful afternoons each and every day this week. low 60s for today. mostly sunny afternoon. that will probably be the case as around 1:00 or 2:00. high pressure is in control here for tomorrow as well. but what's going to happen is it will drift off just a little bit. and what will happen then is we are only going to see the dense fog along the san joaquin valley, maybe the east bay filtering through the delta, but

it won't be as bad as it is today. that's the news as a lot of people get back to work, and the kids get back to school tomorrow. 63 in oakland. 64 in los gatos. 63 in santa cruz. we are looking good heading throughout the remainder of the week. 62 by wednesday. tomorrow is the warmest day of the week. 68 degrees. ladies, it is like split pea soup out there, it is so thick. we want to remind you to take it easy. thank you very much. we have heard breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but when you eat may be as important as what you eat. a new study from belgium followed two groups of young men for six weeks. one group ate a cash-heavy breakfast then worked out. the other group worked out an an empty stomach and then had the same carb-packed meal. the first group gained about three pounds. the second gained almost no weight. >> wisdom says and research has shown that within 30 to 45 minutes of a workout is when

your body will most effectively take in the protein. >> researchers say to wait to eat until after you workout. you may need a little something to push you on as you exercise, so eating something light will give you the energy you need to complete that workout. 6:43 right now. coming up, some politicians are trying to put differences aside. see how next in a live report. and taking a live look outside, this is the dense fog we are talking about. a live look out at the golden gate bridge. it is really foggy around most of the bay area bridges this morning. we'll keepou th g posteat'sd when that's going to lift. 6:43 right now. feed me! saving you money -- now, that's progressive. call or click today. so he chose a university where the faculty average over 14 years of experience in their fields to help him turn a thesis into a business plan and accelerate the path between ideas...
