influence than others. nasdaq decided apple is too big. now shares of apple count for more than 1/5 of the index. it's going to change apple's influence and make it smaller. why do you care? fund managers have to change their funds based on how they are weighted on the nasdaq. that will temporarily cause volatility. >> thank you. san francisco police are still looking for suspects after a string of violent attacks over the weekend. >> reporter: the reward is growing for a man violently attacked during a dodgers game. this as a local business steps up to help him out with medical bills. the stadium is not built but santa clara is talking naming rights for a new home for the 49ers. take a look at the south bay
