power. that's the real focus. >> right. there's so much talk of stability and that we'll see more of it. will it be a reality? >> well, i mean, you always want to hope so. i think this was a real moment in the country and certainly in washington in terms of political discourse and the demonization of the other in politics. it has to be a lesson taken to heart here. no matter if we are talking about a traffic did in tucson that appears to be the works of a mentally ill person. nevertheless, the health care debate this week reflected a tapping down of that tone. and i think you'll see the president do what he did in tucson, which is try to carry that message forward and try to set a different tone for how they are going to work with each other, thou white house will work with republicans in the house and in the senate. >> yeah, i think the nation has a whole would love to see it, the united states once again. david, thanks so much. >> thank you. the time is 5:25.

moderate breakfast that will work better for you. german researchers followed 400 people for two weeks and found that those who ate a really big breakfast, a high-calorie breakfast, tended to eat other high-calorie meals, lunch and dinner all put together, not a good way to lose or maintain weight. but people who ate a small to moderate breakfast, it was a trend or habit they also tend to eat a small dinner. therefore they end up staying within their weight goal. breakfast dictates the size of your other meals as well, at least in this german study. now, here in the united states, the problem is a lot of us skip breakfast. about a quarter of us are keating eating breakfast three times a week or less. and we are sort of wolfing it down as they say eating breakfast in 15 minutes. men and young adults are more likely to skip breakfast which is dangerous because a statistic shows people who don't eat

breakfast are four times more likely to become obese. eat your breakfast, just make it a moderate one. >> pancakes, double stack -- >> reporter: yeah, that's not moderate. >> right. 5:44 right now. president obama goes to new york today to talk about jobs and getting americans back to work as well as beginning to work on his re-election campaign. the president will visit general electric's headquarters and will name the ceo of ge as part of his office. right now he is dealing with a lot of issues at home with republicans and the abortion issue. >> tax-payer funding of electable abortions will not be the policy of this government.

"today in the bay's" bob rezell is live outside district court this morning where the defense will try to get key evidence thrown out. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. the federal prosecutor is trying to prove that when barry bonds appeared before a grand jury investigating pro sports he lied about his own steroid abuls. and to help make their case, the prosecution needs to present testimony from bonds' former teammates, players said to have taken steroids by his trainer,

greg anderson. anderson is willing to go back to jail on charges of contempt. so today bonds' lawyer will try to have the testimonies thrown out arguing they would be mute without anderson's testimony as well. the judge this this case has thrown out documents seized from his house since anderson won't testify about the authenticity of the documents. today the prosecution will ask her to re-evaluate that decision. the case is scheduled to go to trail in late march. bonds said in the past he never knowingly took performance-enhancing drugs. reporting live outside federal court in san francisco, bob redell, "today in the bay." thank you, bob. >> all right.

the northeast at 15 miles per hour at this time. and that kept things more mild. there's a lack of downsloping winds. chilly conditions in the north bay right now where we are in the 30s. 36 degrees in novato. 36 in fairfield. a little more mild in haywood at 44 degrees. and 41 in santa cruz. as that sun comes up it will warm up rapidly. we are talking about temperatures at 57 degrees by noon. 62 in sunnyvale at noon. and then daytime highs max out near 6 degrees. 6 degrees. 67 degrees. once that sun goes down, temperatures drop light like a rocket. 65 degrees for your forecasted high for friday. comfortable afternoon. so you want to tee off, afternoon tee times are ideal. 63 on saturday with a little bit more wind. and 62 on sunday. laura, you have been noun to swing the club around, huh?

>> give me a few mull begans and we'll call it a game. many of us have gone through the agony of losing our credit or debit cards, but this new dynamic system has a solution for when that happens. they have created credit card with a smart chip inside. jeff mullins is the creator. >> reporter: in order to turn the card on, enter an unlocking code that only you know. if you don't enter the unlock code, then your number isn't displayed. if you do, then your number is displayed for the transaction. >> when you are not using the card that display turns off and so that stripe is just completely erased. so if the card is lost or stolen it is just a dead piece of plastic. the cards are not in circulation yet. however, a lot of credit card companies are testing that technology. if you are nervous about taking that next test you may want to write about it.

students were given ten minutes to write about their anxieties before taking an exam and it significantly improved their grade. researchers say the exercise allowed students to unload their fears so they could better concentrate on the test itself. maybe you can use it on other things like your first date. >> maybe. >> write down your anxieties. the king of fantasy football is not a sports analyst or a guy coaching for several years. instead, the king of fantasy football is actually a homeless man who does not own a computer. >> out of 3 million people who play fantasy football on espn.com this year, nathan harris beat them all. the 33-year-old massachusetts man used his mother's computer, one at the library and wherever else he could find one to set up his fantasy lineup. >> his score beat everyone else. he lost his job and home after a 2009 car accident left him with nerve damage. he said playing fantasy football was a way to get through the

tough times. pretty cool. >> good for him. it is friday. scott mcgrew is here with a gadget. we have a little something here -- it looks to me like the top of a hairspray can. >> oh, darn, you guessed it. that's a receiver you have in your hand that goes on the entertainment center. it helps to turn your ipad or iphone into a remote control. take a look. you have your iphone controlling your tv and your surround sound system. really just about any sort of device that has a remote. it is called the unity remote from a company called gear4u. you need the ipod and this device. the app is free, the thing will cost you $99. the idea here is that phones and whatnot don't have the rf emitter you need. so they send the blue tooth signal they handle to the little emitter. the emitter sends the remote signal to the vel television. this is marketed as a solution

for those with a million remotes. you turn on the tv and then the surround sound. you route it to the tv and turn on the satellite. you can do that all with one button push on your iphone. if you are like me, i can never find my phone, so you can call the home phone to find out where your tv remotes are. >> i usually find it in jack's hand. there it is. >> that's pretty cool. thank you. >> thanks, scott. oakland's hunger program is going green. people taking part in the program will now need to bring a reusable bag to receive free groceries. that will start today. the hunger program passes out 3,500 bags of free groceries several times a day to those living in oakland at community locations. the giveaway at local churches and food pantries such as peter's rock church and the elmhurst pantry. big waves off the coast of hawaii today. check them out. 20-footers are coming in, which is great for surfing, but it is kind of -- they have a little

bit of a situation. they are fantastic for recreational surfers. maybe a little more than i can handle, but they are not good enough for the pros. right now the pros are on oahu's north shore waiting for the start of the surf invitational. they are watching the waves saying, they are pretty big, but they are not big enough for their event. so it is good surfing if you are probably an event surfing. >> you went surfing, how hard is it? >> if you have a board the size of a door and the waves are about this high, they are pretty good. i'm a pretty good surfer. you get anything smaller than that and a huge wave, i'm in trouble. >> surfing on a door. there you have it. >> he is trying to impress you, isn't he? >> now you know how he got me. we are looking good right now. we have a mile and a half of visibility up in santa rosa. clear conditions along the peninsula. and hazy in the east bay with a little more fog formation this

morning than yesterday. we have lost the sustained winds out of the northeast. that's also making for a cooler start in the north bay where temperatures are just above freezing right now. 36 degrees in novato. 49 in san francisco. we have a really nice start in san francisco. we'll see temperatures in the city today approaching 64 diagnoses degrees. a beautiful day on tap for us. 63 in redwood city. 65 degrees in gilroy. as you head outdoors for this weekend, i think you'll enjoy what the weather has to provide. 63 for saturday. perfect for shopping. 67 on sunday. perfect for surfing with the wetsuit because it is cold in the water around here. back to you guys. this weekend a few celebrities will use their star power to knock "the green hornet" off the top spot at the box office. >> natalie portman, ashton kutcher, ben affleck and tommy

lee jones. >> yes, ben affleck, you are fired. he is in "the company man." tommy lee jones and chris cooper also hit the skids in the state of the economy film. "the company man" opens in select theaters this weekend and rated "r." >> prisoners escape from siberia, but the escape could be worse than prison. "the way back" is rated "pg-13." >> ashton touch kutcher and natalie portman are friend with benefits. they make a pact not to ruin their friendship. "no strings attached" is rated "r." while the newest batman film features one of the best known villains, catwoman, it will also star a nemesis you have never heard of named appropriately

enough vain. >> who is vain? in the comics vain is born in a prison to build up his muscles that eventually help him break back batman's back. >> catwoman will be played by anne hathaway. it is 5:56. we'll be back in a couple of minutes.
