christie smith is live in san francisco this morning with more on today's announcement. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. he certainly has a long history with the san francisco police department starting with a patrol cop 30 years ago moving all the way up to the head of field operations. his name is captain greg suhr. he will be chief. he's got a lot of support from the rank and file officers, the police officers association and state attorney general, kamala harris. but his ride is certain low not without some controversy. but first more on his background. suhr is 52 years old, most recently in command of the city's high crime bayview district where homicides have dropped dramatically while he was in charge. he's worked in narcotics. he's a graduate of st. ignatius high school and usf. mayor ed lee saying it's a good choice and we definitely have a leader in him. now back to the other side. when he was deputy chief, the

"chronicle" reporting he was part of the command staff that was indicted in 2003 for allegedly conspiring to obstruct the investigation into fajita-gate, who can forget that, where off-duty officers allegedly beat up a man for his food, two men. a judge dropped that, though, as baseless. he was also reprimanded by a former chief for not following department rules in reporting a domestic violence incident, though the woman was apparently his friend and said that he had actually saved her life. he's dealing with a number of issues, though. budget cuts, also allegations of improper drug searches, but he's expected to be sworn in this morning at 11:00 a.m. right here at city hall. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> we'll see how he does in his new role now, thank you very much. this morning a man suspected of killing four women decades ago could super a plea today. 77-year-old joseph naso is accused of killing two women in the late '70s, two more in the

late '90s. all four women had the same first and last names that started with the same letters. the bay area news group reports investigators fanning out across the country to see if naso had anything to do with other cold cases involving missing women. he was arrested at his home in reno earlier this month. attorneys will meet today to talk about a possible retrail in the sanity phase of alexander u shock. he walked into a campus in 2010 armed with ten pipe bombs, a chain saw and a sword. he tried to kill a former teacher, detonated a couple of bombs before he was subdued. jurors were unable to decide if he was sane at the time but the district attorney will now have to decide if he wants a new trial to determine his sanity. livermore police are warning female joggers to be extra careful this morning. since 2007 there have been six reports of a man who approached

runners from behind and then pulled down their pants before taking off. the attacks happened at different times on various days at patterson pass road and holmes street. in most cases the women were listening to music so were taken off guard by the man. investigators do not have a detailed description of the suspect because of the fact he surprises his victims and then runs away. the driver responsible for a deadly pileup outside a high school is entering a plea deal. lawyers for the 42-year-old say he was in the middle of a manic bipolar episode when you crashed into a row of cars in lafayette back in 2007. he killed a 55-year-old man. prosecutors say he was going between 50 and 70 miles an hour, did not attempt to swerve or stop. he initially pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but now is pleading no contest. he faces a year in county jail plus two years are probation. it is the only mile-long

sex rather than rape. 5:06 right now. one of the two men on trial for a triple murder will be under scrutiny when testimony resumes this morning. he confronted the judge yesterday. he was upset on the ruling of the admissibility of part of a taped statement his former girlfriend gave. in it she seems to confirm bay wanted chauncey bailey dead and it was also revealed the co-defendant was found at the scene of another murder. bay and mackey face murder charges in connection with the deaths of bailey and two other men back in 2007. san jose is about to lose dozens of police officers all because of budget cuts. the city says it needs to layoff 100 police officers and demote 20 others to help balance the budget. the officers are part of more

than 600 city kbhemployees whos jobs are in jeopardy. if the union agrees to a 10% pay cut some of the jobs could be saved. the firefighters union has agreed to a similar pay cut and still stands to lose 20 firefighters. big area for bay area sports. the a's and the raiders are getting a brand new stadium name. bob redell is live near the soon to be named overstock coliseum. >> reporter: overstaock.com colise coliseum. this new name is expected to be approved today. if so, it's a $1.2 million annual commitment from the online retailer, half of it going to the raiders, the other half going to the stadium authority. the oakland alameda county stadium as it's known right now, you could say it's been going through an identity crisis the past several years. used to be network associates,

then it was the mcafee stadium. we were just driving up 880 and mcafee is still on the highway signs. i'm sure caltran got sick and tired of changing the name. and now it's the oakland alameda county coliseum. the good news is at least we're not -- here's other names of other stadiums. we're not jobing.com arena in phoenix. bagley field at dowdy-ficklen stadium in south carolina. superpages.com center in dallas, national car rental center in florida, amway center in oar land owe. can i ask you a quick question. you know the oakland coliseum. they're talking about renaming it to the overstock.com coliseum. what do you think? >> that's pretty good. >> reporter: it kind of rolls off the tongue. >> yeah, it does. it just makes you think. >> reporter: do you get tired of

all these stadiums getting all these dot-com names or bizarre names? >> not really if you're used to it. >> reporter: obviously this is something you've been losing sleep over. >> yeah. well, i don't think so. >> reporter: i know. take it easy. thanks for talking with us. you know, the overstock.com name is going to change because overstock.com wants to gave their name to o.co. >> the o.co stadium. >> reporter: yeah. >> it's kind of got a ring to it. >> at least the giants never change the name of their stadium. oh, wait, yes, they do, all the time. bob, go in and buy that guy his coffee. put it on your corporate card irks yeah, i will. i'll take care of him. >> bob redell from oakland where there apparently are jazz musicians and people buying coffee. 5:10 now.

>> good morning, christina. >> yeah, he's brave. i wouldn't get between a man and his coffee at 5:10 in the morning. clear conditions out there, grab a jacket on your way out the front door. high pressure is moving in today but we do have a little bit of a change on the way for your thursday. we've got this little area of low pressure just to our north. it is going to sag to the south just enough for us to see a tight pressure gradient and windy conditions as we head through your thursday, especially through the east bay hills and wind-prone areas across the bay. we're looking at 49 right now in san francisco and 45 up in santa rosa. turning over to the upper 60s by noon and then we'll end up in the mid-70s in some cities today. 72 for santa rosa later on. i've got your extended forecast. the numbers are going to climb, especially tomorrow and then this weekend looks phenomenal so stay tuned for that. but right now maybe you've got to get to starbucks to pick up your frappuccino. >> many options on you on 580 and these numbers are going to

go down as far as the commute goes because the speeds are going to come down as more folks hit the roadway. right now just a 13-minute drive. so the slowdown has cleared out and likely just a number of cars changing the average this early morning. highway 4 and -- we do have construction at summersville. that is the off-ramp so we'll consider the commute pretty clear right now. we have an accident clearing at love ridge as well. here's a live look at the north bay. we see 101 over on the right side of your screen, southbound with the taillights. northbound side moving smoothly as well. a clear view right before you get to lincoln. further south we're looking back to the east bay. it's moving smoothly on the nimitz freeway. further south there's debris southbound 880 at 92 and also reports that maybe it was royal airline linen. royal wedding coming up.

>> in the road? >> in the roadway, yeah. of course that's what the airport uses as well. but i'm going to hold on that it might be something wedding related. it is 5:12. all eyes on washington this morning where the federal reserve is getting ready to talk interest rates. we'll look at what's coming up in a live report.

good morning. it's 5:15 now. san francisco is giving people a chance to voice their concerns over the budget. mayor ed lee and supervisor eric mahr will host a district one town hall meeting at 6:30 tonight. they'll answer questions about the city's budget deficit and how to fix things. tonight's meeting will be held at the richmond recreation center and streamed live on s o

sfgovtv.org. a south bay school district is holding a public meeting tonight to talk about its budget issues. the san jose unified school district is talking about taking five furlough days next year to help balance the budget. concerned parents, if you'd like to attend, be at hoover middle school for the meeting tonight starting at 7:00. this is the last of three community meetings. 5:16 now. we'll find out today if interest rates are going up, and federal reserve chief will give his first-ever scheduled news conference. today in the bay's nicole lapin is live at cnbc headquarters. this is historic, nicole. >> reporter: this is very historic. we are very excited about this. we'll be watching very closely. futures are flat, slightly higher, as investors don't want to seem to take major positions ahead of that fed decision this afternoon. that comes at 12:30 our time, 9:30 your time. the fed is widely expected to leave interest rates on hold and stick to plans to continue to buy billions in government bonds through june.

wendy's and burger king to become the nation's third largest restaurant chain in terms of sales behind mickey d's and subway. one of the keys to starbucks' recent success is this ongoing shift in what you guys know, customers define as healthy food. they have oatmeal and stuff, granola bars and fruit and all that is really helping, not to mention like a $6 latte. >> at 8:18 in the morning your time, your freudian slip is you're thinking of subway and not starbucks? >> reporter: it's lunchtime, my friend. this is what happens when you get to work at 3:00 in the morning. >> nicole, thank you much. people living in marin county could soon be paying more for water. the city's municipal water district board of sdrerkof direl meet to vote on a 4% rate increase. if passed the measure will take effect july 1st.

months, guys, so finally the warm conditions are back and they're going to hang out for a while. by noon we'll bow in the 60s and 78 by friday. next week even warmer, the 80s. maybe even touching on the 90s in some of the warmer spots across the bay so get ready for the hot stuff. enjoy the mild conditions we have for you this week. back to you, scott and marla. >> good time for ice cream. baskin robbins wants to support firefighters by having a scoop of ice cream for just 31 cents. it's the fifth annual 31-cent scoop night. starts this afternoon at 5:00. the nationwide effort held in support of the national fallen firefighters federation. baskin robbins will make a donation of $100,000. this will not last long. it's only between 5:00 and 10:00. >> i'll take mint chocolate chip, thanks. >> fair enough, i like the cookie dough. san francisco supervisors oppose the city's proposed leash laws, but it doesn't matter. we'll explain next. and we will take a look at

the situation behind playstation. the hackers have got your personal data coming up. and some folks accuse me of playing with video games with my job but we have a nice easy drive. 24 off of the wall net creek interchange, we've seen some slowing. i've got my eyes on your morning commute. details coming up.

welcome back. it is 5:23 now. san francisco's board of supervisors has officially opposed a plan to leash dogs in part of the golden gate bridge national recreation area. of course it doesn't make a difference, though. they do not have the final say in the matter, the park service department does. the board hopes opposition will bring the department to the table to talk about the issue. the park service says with so many people in the park, leashes are needed. they will make a final decision

after the public comment period ends on may 30th. now we'll check your morning commute. mike, how are the roads looking. >> the south bay, 6:30 is when we see the slowdowns really form. right now southbound 17 at 85, you see the little yellow there but no major issues. we shouldn't have a problem. coming down the peninsula or up the peninsula, 1010 -- there was a report of linens in the roadway. i told you about the earlier one 880 at 92 across the bay. chp said they might both be related. the company label on there was royal airline linens and that's simply a company that a lot of the airlines use but i thought it was interesting because we have the royal wedding coming up. that's clearing and let's show you the toll plaza. a nice easy drive off of the east shore freeway and no major problems coming out of the maze. another live look at another bridge, the golden gate bridge

where we're looking at a smooth drive. no slowing through san rafael all the way across into the city via 101. >> mike, there's a royal wedding coming up? i haven't heard about that. well, state employees may want to check with their bosses to find out if their travel plans are allowed. governor jerry brown signed an executive order yesterday banning all non-essential travel for state workers. this is part of his plan to save $413 million in state operations for the year. all in-state travel must be approved by agency secretaries or department directors and all out of state travel must be approved by the governor's office. well, sony is sending out e-mails this morning warning a staggering 70 million people their personal information may have been exposed to hackers. that is not good pr for sony. scott mcgrew joins us now. scott, what secrets were given away? >> it's not completely clear, marla, not even to sony but it could be names and e-mails,

possibly credit card numbers. this all comes as sony's playstation network enters its eighth day of outages. sony says it's the victim of a hacker attack. it's knocked games offline but also people who use the sony network to watch movies or listen to music. the company still has not been able to secure this network and will keep it offline until it can. now, sony's service is generally free, so there are fewer credit cards in that system than there are in, say, xbox live network or apple itunes, but it is a good reminder while you can secure your own computer, your personal information is mostly contained outside your own personal sphere on netflix and amazon.com. speaking of paid services, reports say youtube will expand its offering of rental movies. this is a look at the current offerings. youtube has signed a deal with universal, which is part of this tv station's parent company,

along with sony and warner brothers to put more movies on youtube. more choices for you. >> i didn't know that existed. >> most people don't. >> interesting. learn something new every day. thank you, scott. it is 5:26. a bay area hospital hoping you can identify one of its patients. and then one county says it owes 1300 people thousands of dollars and time is running out for them to collect. >> reporter: and what's in a name? well, apparently no longer oakland coliseum. i'm bob redell. l utfii'nd o what you think about the change in the name of the venue for the a's and raiders. that story coming up.

>> reporter: new this morning, the waiting is over. san francisco is finally getting a new police chief. he's got 30 years with the department, including some highs and lows. i'm christie smith. we'll have that story coming up. plus, the state is moving forward with plans to ban raves

at places like the cow palace. pg&e rechecking some of its pipelines after discovering some were not seamless. and a live look at the bay bridge on this very early wednesday morning. it is wednesday, april 27th. this is "today in the bay." well, good morning, everyone. thanks for joining us. i'm scott mcgrew. >> and i'm marla tellez in for brent and laura today. let's get you started with a look at your beautiful forecast. christina. >> good morning to you. yeah, it is going to be gorgeous today, especially this afternoon. it's a little chilly out there right now so grab a jacket. 45 in napa, 45 in novato and 45 degrees in sunnyvale, but we are headed towards the 70s. abundant sunshine today. i'll let you know what tomorrow provides. it looks like some changes are on the way. we'll get into detail about your entire forecast coming up, but let's get you to work right now

with mike inouye. >> tomorrow, there's always tomorrow. right now we're seeing slowing for highway 4. i have this construction sensor marked out here, this icon, because of the summersville off-ramp. but behind it we do see some averaging slowdowns here. we're looking at the specific sensor as 60 right around l street but we're seeing 50s coming across from the north bay no major issues. but i'll show you where there's some volume building in the east bay. back to you guys. this morning san francisco police reportedly ready to name a new chief known for cracking down on crime in the city's toughest district, but the chief's name is also linked to a few department scandals. christie smith is live in san francisco this morning with a look at the new chief and his rise to the top. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. his name is captain greg suhr and he started as a patrol cop in san francisco about 30 years ago. he's got some highs in his career, including running two of the toughest station houses in the city, but also some lows in

his career, including an indictment for allegedly conspiring to obstruct justice. now, mayor ed lee says suhr was the most popular choice at all the town hall meetings here in the city. rank and file officers like him, they respect him. he's got the backing of the police officers association and state attorney general kamala harris. homicides in the city's high-crime bayview district were cut in half while he was in charge there. he certainly knows the city. he's a graduate of st. ignatius and usf, but it wasn't all roses, certainly. as deputy chief the "chronicle" reports suhr was with the command staff that was indicted for allegedly conspiring to obstruct justice in fajita-gate. that story made headlines for months when off-duty officers allegedly beat up two men for their food. the former chief also demoted him for allegedly not filing a

domestic violence report in a timely manner. as chief he's going to be dealing with a number of big issues, including budget issues to start, but mayor ed lee says he's confident with him, he's vetted, he's a good choice. he thinks he's a good leader. he's expected to be sworn in here this morning at 11:00 a.m. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you. 5:33 right now. the city of palo alto says it plans to spend millions of dollars to search for potentially dangerous gas lines. in june, city staffers will ask the city council to sign off on spending $3.8 million to inspect thousands of pipes near homes and businesses. the city says it is concerned about cross bores, which are gas lines that intersect sewer lines. funding for the inspections will come out of the city's gas fund and customer rates won't be affected. pg&e has found 34 miles of pipeline that have been falsely reported as seamless.

false records are in the middle of the federal investigation of the deadly explosion in san bruno. pg&e records describe the pipeline that exploded as seamless, when it actually had a seam with welds. one of those welds was at the rupture point in the explosion. the 34 miles of pipeline are among 152 miles that will be tested over the next year with high pressure water to uncover weld problems. this morning lawmakers considering a law that would crack down on drug-fueled rave parties statewide. today assemblywoman mah will create the bill. the bill was written after several deaths and hospitalizations at raves last year, including at the cow palace in daly city. almost a year ago, two people died, five others rushed to the hospital after overdosing at that rave. the oakland coliseum is going through another identity crisis.

bob redell is live near the venue that is about to undergo another name change. bob, what's going on? >> reporter: good morning to you, marla. over the past several years, it started off as network associates coliseum, then went to mcafee coliseum, now it's just the oakland alameda county coliseum. well, at that it's expected to be changed or at least approval given to change the oakland coliseum to the overstock.com coliseum. so that would be the fourth name change for that venue since 1998. the online retailer apparently agreeing, according to the "bay citizen" to pay $1.2 million a year for that privilege. half of that money going to the oakland raiders, the other half going to the stadium authority. here we are talking about identity crisis. assuming the approval is given today, overstock.com coliseum could eventually change to the o.co coliseum. that's because the online retailer is actually in the process of trying to change its

own name to o.co. so a lot of change here for oakland a's and raiders fans. if you're not a big fan of the overstock.com coliseum name, at least oakland is not some of these names that are located in other venues throughout the country. let's see, in north carolina, the raleigh entertainment and sports arena. boy, that's not generic. energy solutions center in salt lake. quicken loans arena anin cleveland. how about the ipayone center and the jobing center arena on the outskirts of phoenix. you guys are obviously an a's fan. they're talking about the oakland coliseum, they're changing it to the overstock.com. >> i just heard that this morning. i don't know what's up with that but it ain't going to be the

same. >> reporter: it went from network associates to mcafee and then they'll change overstock to o.co. so what would be your favorite or do you care anymore? >> i really just like the a's, i really don't worry about it. i'm more concerned about them leaving than whatever they turn it into, you know. i can't keep up with it. i've been working here for like ten years so every time i turn around and go pick up my check, it's something else. i just go with the floerks man. >> reporter: hey, take it easy. >> you have a good day. >> reporter: enjoy your coffee. there you have it. approval expected sometime today. >> bob, what about the idea that i've purchased plenty of shoes on overstock.com. does that mean that i have some stock in the new coliseum name. >> reporter: i heard something, is that where you buy your shoes? is that what you said? >> they have good deals on there. >> reporter: i go there to get my wife jewelry.

>> see? >> reporter: i'm just kidding! she hasn't seen new jewelry since -- boy, what century are we in. >> all right, let's not talk personal stuff, bob, that's enough. 5:37 right now. a local hospital does need your help to figure out who one of its patients in. this man has been in san francisco general hospital for the past two weeks. he was found on april 11th on richland avenue near san jose avenue. he's in fair condition but unable to tell doctor what his name is. the patient is latino in his 40s with short, black hair, brown eyes. 5'4" tall, weighs about 150 pounds. if this seems familiar, if you know who this is, give the hospital a call there with the number on your screen. it is the closest thing to a giveaway. santa clara county is looking for more than 1300 families and businesses that have not claimed money owed to them. in some cases the money is in

the thousands. this family has $2400 waiting for them. their name was on a list of people and businesses who were owed restitution because they are victims of crime or the county is looking to give money back to them because of overpayments. families on the list have until may 27th to claim their money. after that, the money becomes the county's. 5:39 and let's check in now with meteorologist christina loren. >> good morning to you. everyone is going to get paid in sunshine today. we've got a lot of sunshine on the way this afternoon and each day this week we are looking good. 70-degree weather, no rain in the forecast. today mostly sunny and really nice this afternoon. each and every day as we head through this weekend. we are going to climb in temperature just a little bit. a gradual warm-up through thursday. and then by next week, 80-degree weather almost every sipping el day of the week so we could be hopping into the swimming pool in the next couple of weeks here in the bay area. it's a little chilly out there, grab a jacket, but high pressure will warm us up later on today.

by about noon you will be in the 60s. low pressure, though, just to our north will kind of sidle to the south tomorrow along the coastline. what that means for us is windy conditions, maybe a few more clouds but overall it's still going to be nice. 45 in livermore, 43 in gilroy. turning over to the 70s. 71 degrees today in napa and 69 degrees in san rafael. so if you are somebody who works outside, boy, oh boy, are you going to get a treat this week. maybe a little warm. you may have to break out that mister next week. >> it's a smooth drive through this area. slowdowns for 580. i showed you highway 4 already and coming out of the altamont pass, speeds dipping into the 50s westbound, that's your commute direction. heading over to 880, we'll see the volume increasing ot nimitz freeway past the coliseum and maybe o.co a little later on.

bob continues to give those updates and i'll watch the traffic on the nimitz. a live look shows you the san mateo bridge, a smooth drive off 880. getting more congested at the connector, but the connector is open. both directions of 880 over the 92, the camera moving just a bit but the wind not a factor over the san mateo or the dumbarton bridge. back to you. rumors flying the warriors will soon be looking for a new man to lead their team. the details next. >> reporter: from security to party plans to the nervous couple. good morning, i'm tracie potts in london with more on plans for the royal wedding now just two days away.
