bridge, it is slow as well. be careful for the winds. if you drive a high-profile vehicle you need to be extra careful. here's a live look out there -- we don't have that. oh, there it is. no shaking to the camera here. there's the sign of the amber alert. brent, off to you with that story. thank you, mike. a 4-year-old boy is still missing and the search for him continues across the state this morning. he was allegedly taken from his grandmother's arms by his mother's ex-boyfriend. marla tellez is live in san jose where investigators thought they had a lead in this case, but now they are back to square one. >> reporter: that's right. good morning to you, brent. the suspect's mother is said to live here in san jose, but because she has family all throughout california the amber alert is still a statewide

search. this morning investigators will once again focus on the delta mandova canal. someone saw a car go into the canal. officials searched it yesterday. they did find a car, but late last night the sheriff confirmed it is not the suspect's car. the search for 4-year-old giuliani cardinas started in the city of paterson on tuesday afternoon when his mother's ex-boyfriend, 27-year-old so cy esteban rodriguez grabbed him from his grandmother's arms and took off with him in a silver toyota corolla. he has a criminal past including a 1999 manslaughter conviction. still giuliani's mother and grandmother are optimistic. >> i want my grandson safe. i want my grandson back. >> he had a good relationship with my son.

i mean, i don't ever think he would hurt him, when is a really good thing. that's keeping my hopes up, too, that my son will come home safe. >> reporter: tabitha cardinas is eight months pregnant with the suspect's baby. the investigators will search a different part of the canal looking for any sign of the suspect and 4-year-old giuliani. in the meantime drivers are asked to keep an eye out for the silver toyota corolla with a license plate of6hbw445. if you see that car or know anything about this case, you are asked to call 911 immediately. live in san jose this morning, marla tellez, "today in the bay." it is 6:04 right now. a rash of armed robberies in one of the safest communities in the peninsula has police and residents alarmed.

community residents informed them of the spree of robberies in the neighborhood. there have been more than 20 robberies in the past few months and most involved a gun. they are urging people to cooperate if they become a victim. 74-year-old louis herndan was burglarized in front of her home. >> i heard a number of bad works coming from this guy. he told me and my husband he would kill us and blow our heads off. >> the police say it is difficult to know where to send the extra patrols because this has happened all over the city. the department is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to additional arrests and convictions. it has been three years since a manager at a popular restaurant chain was killed in san mateo. this morning investigators still don't know who did it. so they are offering a reward hoping somebody steps forward

with more information. the manager was found dead by a coworker when he arrived for work this week back in 2008. investigators say that coste will, will, o died from head injuries. a $40,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest is still being offered. a deadly fire at a long-term care facility is increasing concerns about patients smoking in the building without supervision. two days before christmas a patient allegedly dropped the cigarette lighting his own gown on fire at the burlinggame care facility. back in 2004 a patient flicked her cigarette into a vacant lot below and it started a fire. the county tells the examiner a plan of correction is still in place but would not discuss the december 23rd fire citing patient confidentiality rules. a peninsula substance abuse treatment program is going to celebrate its anniversary and

the life of its founder who was gunned down last year. the free at last program in east palo alto will toast an open house and a 12-step meeting to market its 17th anniversary today. the event will also pay tribute to david lewis, the co-founder of the program. he was shot and killed on june 9th this past year in the hillsdale parking lot in san mateo. the suspect in the shooting is one of lewis' childhood friends who entered a not guilty plea. employees are celebrating a federal judge's ruling regarding long-term health care. u.s. district judge oakland ruled that state employees can sue for discrimination over the government's exclusion of their same sex spouses from the long-term program. the ruling goes against a request from the obama administration to dismiss the suit. three usf employees sued in april to overturn that law.

uc regents will wrap up their southern california meeting today. so far they say the news is not good. the president says it looks like 20,000 to 30,000 qualified students will be turned away in the next school term. he also says the uc system will have to lay off employees with a projected $1 billion shortfall. the state plans to cut uc funding by $500 million next year. they are also dealing with expenses such as higher salaries, rising energy and pension costs. and lieutenant gavin newsom will be at today's meeting. child's play is coming with warnings this morning. scott mcgrew is here with this story. >> reporter: good morning. nintendo is showing off its latest device with a couple of warnings. probably the company being ultra cautious. the union new nintendo 3sd shouldn't be played by children

under 6. nintendo is always cautious. this debates back to the old pokemon videos that caused epileptic fits in a tiny fraction of players. the company showed this off last night. the new ds 3-d that comes out in march. it looks pretty cool. speaking of kids, you may hear a study today saying more young kids know how to play angry birds on the iphone than how to ride a bike. the study in europe looked at kids aged 2 to 5 were more confident with technology of using a smartphone than a computer mouse than bike riding or swimming. it was conducted by avg. personally, i don't know any 2-year-old that can ride a bike, but a few of them do play angry birds. they are pretty good at that. >> i don't know what you are stalking about. 6:09. pet store owners mark their territory with a community meeting in san francisco

tonight. a number of mom and pop pet stores in richmond are opposing the opening of a petco chain store on their street. they are holding a meeting tonight at 6:30. petco representatives will be there. local pet shops are upset because there are four local pet shops within 12 balk blocks of each other. they fear petco could drive them out of business. 6:10. let's check the morning commute with mike i nou keeping his eye on 280 this morning. >> we'll take you to the south bay. i told you about 280 at wolf road with reports of metal debris in the road. that's the scene of an accident because the debris was not all out of the roadway. the accident is now moving to the shoulder. no major injuries, but a little slowing at the scene. that's it for the 280 slowing. 101 there with 42 on the right side of the screen, that's where we typically see an early start to the slowing. also the blips on southbound 87 will shake out over the next couple of minutes, but we'll see the northbound side slowing you

downtown. that's the golden gate bridge heading up the peninsula. you could see gusty winds there. now back to you. a pretty nice clear morning out there. >> we are having a nice run of things the last few days. >> yes, we have been in an obscure pattern this time of the year, but it is really nice. it is benefiting those who enjoy the sunshine. 57 degrees is your forecasted high in san mateo. you take your lunch break this morning, we are already starting out in the 50s. it is mild. you'll need a jacket this morning, but you'll want to dress in layers because as you make your way home from work we are talking about temperatures close to 70 degrees. 66 degrees today in san jose. 70 in santa cruz. this is not the warmest day of the week. as we head into tomorrow it is going to be even warmer. so we'll talk about that coming up here. your forecast is on the way. we are going to enjoy the weather this weekend. back to you. thank you so much.

>> 6:11. still to come on "today in the bay," a bay area museum has a new exhibit. we'll whack you through the history of computing coming up. george low cast is fighting rumor that is he thinks all our days are numbered. guess who started that rumor coming up. the house voting to repeal the health care law. we'll have more on that coming up next. and a live look at the beautiful bay bridge this morning. see how clear it is. what we are talking about could lead to great temperatures across the bay area. stay with us, 6:12 right now.

good morning, everybody. welcome back. it is 6:14. a live look at the south bay this morning. speaking of the south bay, a lot of these companies are located there throughout the bay area. for the fortune magazine's top 500 companies, we have google and cisco located here. the battle of the health reform law is heating up in washington. democrats vow to stop any legislation that would repeal it. house republicans followed through on their election promise to vote to repeal the law. the final vote was evenly divided bipartisan lines, but the house vote was largely symbolic. democrats still hold control of the senate and won't reveal the health act. >> this is not symbolic, this is why we were sent here. and we will not stop until we repeal. >> it isn't symbolic to the 149

million americans with health conditions who now are locked out or priced out of the market. >> the republican leaders are now taking a different approach. instead of everyone buying health insurance they are looking at having the sickest americans buy insurance as a group. apple is the apple of wall street this morning, meaning fewer investors are kind of gaga over google. we'll go to scott mcgrew. does this mean google is falling out of favor? >> reporter: well, it has a little bit, hasn't it? it certainly fell out of the news cycle. apple reporting record profits and facebook which doesn't say much about its finances has made a lot of news lately. what about google? the mountain view company reports profits this afternoon. the experts such as they are expect a revenue jump of 22%. now, that would get you salesman of the year in most companies, but compared to apple's increase of 70% all of a sudden that doesn't sound like so much. the other thing to watch for this afternoon, google's costs. it has been hiring like mad

lately. that takes a chunk out of the bottom line. just for fun, a look at the google home page this morning with a nod to the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of john kennedy. the letters of google made up a famous coat from the president. the computer history museum recently renovated and expanded. bob redell is here with the old new stuff or the old new stuff. one of the two. >> reporter: it is called revolution, the first 2,000 years computing at the history museum. they have basically more than doubled their exhibition space. i'm looking at that tall stack of computers behind you. i have heard of google, what started this all? >> this is one of the google server racks from 1999. it is a pc hardware -- if you are a pc geek, you may recognize the components as something you could buy in the shop back in

the day, but the software makes it. >> reporter: scott, i want to show you something. you are familiar with one of these, they are only a few pounds with quite a bit of processing power. and maybe you remember this -- this is from 1981. 24 pounds. this is one of the first laptop computers. this is 1,000 times -- remember that? you remember this ibm pc. they have a ton of old pcs on display. that's one thing that strikes me most. you come to the museum to see things pre-data. here these are things we remember growing up. >> it is temporary technology. it is a real challenge to collect these things now, things we don't necessarily consider to be historic items, but the general public may still have them in air their attic. we have to preserve them for

future generations. >> reporter: i know we talked earlier about pong. this is the original pong, is that correct? >> this is the 1972 pong prototype given to us for this exhibition by the guy who designed pong. this was put out for people to use in sunnyvale. people couldn't figure out what it was. >> reporter: come over here, scott. take a look at this prototype. this was on display. it was very confusing at the time you are saying. >> yes, people couldn't make sense of it at the time. they started to play with it. at the end of the night, a lot of people played with the exit data. there was a line out of door, people wanted to play for days. they got a call saying it was broken. too many people wanted to play it. >> reporter: there you go. computer history in two minutes. the first 2,000 years of computer history on display here at the museum. they have over 1,100 artifacts. this is just a sampling.

>> i know when we walk in there it is fun to see the stuff. as bob mentioned, did he say i remember this? it is fun to see the stuff you thought was state of the art back in 1985. >> i don't know what you are talking about. >> right. >> thank you. it is really interesting. well, how about this one? star wars' george lucas thinks the world will end next year. the actor got the rumor mill turning when he told the newspapers that he met with lucas. and they claimed lucas spent 25 minutes talking about the myan prophesy that the world will end in december of 2012. a representative for lucas says he's not serious when he tries to talk about that. in fact n a sarcastic release, she says, quote, lucas is an adamant believer that the sun revolves around the earth. these are subjects he discusses

at length. >> these are things we talk about with mike all the time. especially the thing about being flat. you go out there too far -- >> you go right off the edge, exactly. we'll keep you close to home. livermore you don't have to go far for the slowing. you see it right out of the altamonte pass with speeds near 50 miles per hour. this is pretty typical for us. it is slowing right there as you get towards the 580/680 interchange. smooth down the cartinas bridge. through berkeley north of the cartinas bridge you are seeing gusty winds. closer to home, look at the toll plaza. a few folks are lining up now coming off the 880 overcrossing. that's a new line forming in a couple of minutes. the metering lights will turn on in a minute. the metering lights keep things moving smoothly. over the next half hour we'll see this less likely because of

the backup at the toll plaza. we'll see will the a lot of sun out there, too. >> yes, all because of the wind shaking that camera a bit. we have offshore winds rights now down-sloping winds warming us up pushing from land to sea. that's the case for today. we have stubborn high pressure not going anywhere for the next six or seven days. we are talking be about temperatures almost 15 degrees above average as you head into tomorrow. probably 10 degrees above average for today. temperaturewise we are looking at 67 degrees in fairfield. 64 for livermore. 61 in oakland. and the temperatures are going to hold strong warming up by tomorrow. 69 degrees is your forecasted high. lows in the 40s. it is a mild start this morning. and we'll see a lot of sunshine this afternoon. a great way to kickoff the weekend on friday with a 69-degree temperature. now, as you know, we are constructing a new set next door.

look at that! who is that? is it brent cannon? is it laura garcia-cannon? no, it is the product of the two, the triplets. they came in and had a great time on our new set. we want to show you all of the pictures. just log on to facebook and search for nbc "today in the bay." you can find our page. i have to tell you, those are three of the cutest kids i have seen in my life. >> it was just a little mind the scenes thing getting the new studio ready. the kids took over. >> they didn't have anybody to watch them. so they had to come. >> i was just hoping they didn't wreck it. >> they didn't, so that's good. your commute around the bay area is not as bad as it once was. find out who says so in a live report. plus, the super bowl is always a tough ticket to get. next, find out how to spend $200 in b a theam gige.ll n t et toin bheam g

good morning, everybody. time now is 6:25. a live look outside across the golden gate bridge. traffic is moving along pretty well right now. not a lot of fog. we have a bit of a breeze. and i think that's helping as well. mild temperatures that christina will update you on in a bit. if you wanted to go to the super bowl without really going to the super bowl, this is your lucky day. the big game is at cowboys stadium next month. and for 200 dollars you can get a standing room ticket to allow you to watch the game on a big screen video outside the stadium. you are not in it, you are near it. a reminder, you can watch it for free at home. for $10 you can come to my house. seats outside the stadium will count towards this year's attendance. gary jones says he wants to set a new attendance record. if you come to my house, it will

not count on the record. president obama may be going to the super bowl. he's a bears fan. if the bears go he is, too. no sitting president has attended the super bowl. you can bet he won't be watching it on the big screen if he goes. he'll be inside in the luxury box, i'll assume. >> if you come to our house, we'll provide chips. 6:27 right now. the gang from "grease" is stopping by our studio later this morning. congresswoman gabrielle giffords could be leaving the hospital as early as tomorrow. we'll have thees her health coming up. rocket scientists!

new this morning, if you're commute is getting much better, a new survey says bay area traffic is improving. i'm christie smith. the reasons behind all this may

surprise you though. we'll talk about that coming up in a live report. many cities are scrambling to keep governor brown from cutting off the cash. services might affect you like police, fire and trash are at stake. and now the governor has a new request. a live look outside of the beautiful bay bridge this morning. clear skies to start your day. warmer temperatures on the way. it is thursday, january 20th, "today in the bay." good morning, everybody. thank you for joining us. i'm brent cannon. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. we'll get things started with a look at the forecast. it should be nice today. >> it will be lovely today. we are starting out relatively mild. you'll probably need a jacket, but we are talk about short sleeves later on today in places like santa cruz where the forecasted high is 70 degrees. by noon as you take your lunch break, we are talking about temperatures already in the 60s. and temperaturewise tomorrow, even warmer.

we'll go into detail as to why and how long it is expected to last coming up. right now we'll get a check on the commute with mike. all righty. good morning. we'll take you right out there, christina, to the live shot of the bay bridge. the metering lights were just turned on after my last report. there's the backup quickly tomorrow forming there near the 880 crossing. just ten minutes for this to build to mid-parking lot on average over the next couple of minutes. the map will show you the approach moving slowly near the warren freeway and 580. no major issues. but at times near the berkeley city limits we'll see speeds near 50. a little slowing coming into the city. the tail end of 280 and 101 into the city near doyle drive as well. no big surprises for those coming into san francisco for their day. the peninsula moves smoothly so far with speed at 60 coming through san mateo. we'll see this bogged down near 7:30 when the sun will also hit you in the eyes.

keep that in mind and bring your sunglasses. back to you guys. in a new report out this morning concerning your commute, that may surprise you that the bay area commute is getting easier. christie smith is live with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. i guess if you have been ranked so bad for so long this is an improvement. the bay area traffic is no longer in the top five worst of the worst in the entire country. it is now slipping to number six, but the reasons behind this are sort of a mixed bag. and that according to the texas transportation institute which has studied this sort of thing for nearly 30 years. first the good news. one theory on the reduced congestion is it is all tied to the traffic improvement projects going on in the bay area like new meter lights, carpool lanes and highway extensions. for instance, new carpool lanes on interstate 80 in solano county or the opening of the highway 4 bypass in contra costa county all reducing the bottlenecks. that's one theory. the other theory is perhaps it

is tied to the slumping economy. maybe there are just fewer people out there driving to work. now, a spokesperson for the metropolitan transportation commission here locally thinks it is just a little bit of both. and researchers think we could enjoy it just while we can, we should, because as soon as california's economy comes back so will the traffic. but for the first time in 28 years the bay area is not in the top five worst of the worst. that's the latest from here. reporting live in livermore, christie smith, "today in the bay." governor jerry brown is asking city leaders to hear him out on his budget plans before dismissing or in some cases even fighting what he has to say. as we told you yesterday, cities all across the state are calling emergency meetings trying to keep the state from shutting down local redevelopment agencies. some cities are rushing to try to move that redevelopment money into funds that are shielded from state rates. brown wants to shift $5 million

redevelopment dollars to more pressing needs like education and public safety. a concord couple is planning to sue former governor arnold schwarzenegger. the santos family says they will file a lawsuit this afternoon accusing schwarzenegger of violating their constitutional rights. before leaving office schwarzenegger commuted the sentence of esteban nunez without notifying the santos family. nunez, the son of former assembly leader fabian nunez, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for his role in the murder of santos' son louis. he'll serve seven years under that commuted sentence. schwarzenegger has apologized to the santos family for not telling them in advance. the public defenders in san francisco are questioning whether a new district attorney and former police chief george gaskone can stay impartial in cases involving officers. a public defender may ask certain prosecutors to be removed from shooting cases because gaskone defended the

officer's actions as he was chief in the time. he shot a man in a wheelchair after he allegedly shot another officer. at the time gaskone was chief and told the reporters the shooting appeared to be appropriate and lawful. this morning the city manager is expected to announce his plan to balance the books and short start a new chapter for the bankrupt city. vallejo filed for bankruptcy back in 2008. then the city cut 65 police officers and shut down three fire stations. the city manager bill bachelor hopes to save the city millions by paying only 5% to 20% of the debt owed to creditors. they consistented mostly of city employees. people living in san mateo county have a new way to connect with important services. starting today call 211. it is a toll-free number that will connect you to non-profit agencies that provide resources for food, shelter, counseling, employment assistance and other

needs. the 211 number is used in 39 states already. san mateo county is the last of the bay area counties to join. 6:35 right now, a bay area position wants an apology from radio host rush limbaugh. we'll tell you what made leland yes so angry. how is california doing in its efforts to get smokers to quit? we'll look at the new report coming up. plus, an update on the search for a missing boy. a live report is coming up. grab your shades on the way out the door this morning. abundant sunshine for the bay area today. and you may need the short sleeves as well. we'll have your complete forecast on the way. hand sanitizers are essential, but the alcohol's drying. [ female announcer ] gold bond hand sanitizer kills germs without alcohol, then moisturizes.

the sunrise is just one hour away. you can fly out of san francisco or san jose, a lot of sunshine and snow. right now we are working with a ton of sunshine. we have some dry down-sloping winds. as a result this morning, we are starting out with temperatures in the 50s. and the warm air is going to continue to pump through the bay area as we head throughout this afternoon. we are talking about temperatures starting in the 50s

and ending up close to 70 degrees. 70 degrees is the forecasted high in santa cruz. 65 in gilroy. 66 in san jose. 63 degrees in fremont. as we head throughout the next few days, 69 degrees is if the forecasted high for tomorrow. 63 on sunday. so pretty much a really nice looking weekend on tap for us. okay. we have joni, how much snow is out there? >> reporter: good morning. on another beautiful day up here at mammoth mountain, we have a base of 9 to 15 feet. but boy, we have been enjoying a lovely january for skiing conditions. this after a very wet december. in fact, to celebrate this weekend, we are throwing a big snow bash. take a look at the big snow sculpture behind me. that's a 17 1/2 foot makings of a snowman. these are going to be popping up all over the mountain this weekend with a lot of greet

stuff to go on here this weekend. >> you have to wonder how they created such a giant snowman. we are talking about a lot of sunshine, 69 degrees. if you are trying to get over to mammoth, you have abun daunt transcendent sunshine and great skiing. always check ahead on the conditions right on our home page. back to you guys. it looks like fun. 6:41 right now. starting tonight "grease" hits your area. we have some of the cast members in our studio coming up.

on tuesday. she'll head to the he rehabilitation center in houston where the next stage of her recovery will take. the next stage is said to be a difficult one given what she has accomplished is already miraculous. the house majority leader john boehner and senate majority leader harry reid. it was an a-listed affair at the white house. the president and first lady hosted the state dinner. the menu was lobster, steak, a little apple pie. president obama is trying to balance challenging china on human rights while also trying to open business with the country. >> as china's per capita income rises that offers an opportunity for increased trade and commercial ties that benefit both countries. >> there were some celebrity guests at last night's dinner, including actor jackie khan and

singer barbara streisand. area state senators are going head-to-head with radio host rush limbaugh after he talked in chinese. qukt [ talking chinese. ] >> the rant was called a slap in the face to millions of americans who have struggled in this country from senator leland ye. he is upset about it and demands an apology. 6:46 right now. the nation rules california with how to put together a happy meal

to every other aspect of our lives. >> tracy potts is look at how the golden state is doing when it comes to quitting smoking. >> reporter: hey, brent and laura. not really leading the way on this one, at least not in a way that a lot of other states would like to follow. the american lung association's new report gives california a "d" overall. i'll get to the details in a second, but they also look at what this nation is doing overall to help people quit smoking. the united states gets a "c." the cost of smoking in this country is $192 billion with nearly 400,000 deaths related to smoking. now, in california, that economic impact is $18 billion. that's just in california alone with more than 36,000 deaths related to smoking last year. california gets an "f" when it comes to prevention and a "d" overall, which believe it or not, was a bit better than a lot of other states the in this

report. one of the big challenges for the state of colorado is prop 26, according to the lung association it would restrict city's ability to charge tobacco companies for cleanup and other initiatives. bottom line, a lot of room for improvement here. >> thank you for that report live from washington this morning, tracy. 6:48. we want to get you your time-saver traffic with mike inouye. >> good morning. we'll take you out there and take a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. the backup in the cash lanes has let up a bit. no major incidents here. this could have been an initial burst with folks hitting the roadways at 6:30. we see things calming down approaching the area. a major slowing through the east bay. you'll see the commute build on the toll plaza. the map shows slowing heading to the bay point. 580 is slowing now to 20
