extremely high. >> reporter: many united continental passengers waiting to take off from san francisco international, didn't know why they were still on the ground. >> there's no information. none whatsoever. there's maybe now some sort of information about the system being down. >> she just graduated from her graduate program and this is supposed to be her gift. >> it's not happening. >> reporter: united sent out a statement saying the airlines experienced a computer outage interrupting the airlines flight departures, airport processing and reservation systems. our technology team is working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. >> anyone else with a boarding pass? >> reporter: those with a boarding pass were able to get through security. those who didn't, had to wait. >> been here for an hour and a half. my flight is not until midnight. >> we have several soldiers inconvenienced by this computer outage. >> i'm going to reno.

he settled in san jose until a change in the law required him to move to the east bay where he committed his last sexual offense. sexually assaulting a homeless man in a shelter. he agreed to chemical castration lived in his bay point home without incident until february of this year when he was sent back to a state hospital for concealing a platonic relationship with a man in his therapy group. in court records this week, prosecutors did not file a petition to keep him in custody saying at least two state psychologists found he was no longer sexually violent. he could be released as early as this weekend. this afternoon you can have a say about the plans for redrawing district lines which could change who represents you in sacramento. organizers are asking communities to speak up and offer suggestions if those new district lines don't reflect the neighborhood. after every census the state is required to reshape districts based on the data collected. today's meeting starts this

iphone into a dangerous proje

projectile.

a cool start to the day. tomorrow is father's day and it is going to be warmer. a special happy father's day wish to our photographer. he's a dad too. heading to a nearby starbucks right after robbing a bank probably not the best idea. that's exactly what mountainview police say 53 year old did on friday. he walked into a california bank and trust in mountainview around 9:00 in the morning and walked out with $1,100 in cash. he threatened a teller with a gun. then about a half hour later an officer saw a man matching the description of the robber sitting at a starbucks around the corner reading a newspaper. no gun was found but police say he had that missing cash. a freak accident at the san

mateo county fair thursday sent a 10-year-old boy to the hospital. he was hit in the head when someone's cell phone flew off a ride. the iphone flew with enough force to send the boy to the emergency room where doctors used two large staples to hold his wound closed. >> i didn't really react at first. then i started touching my head at first. did someone throw anything at me? >> i turned around and there's just blood going everywhere. >> that poor baby. signs are clearly posted warning riders to empty their pockets before getting on any ride. the boy's mother says he's resting well and recovering nicely. commander of the british empire is a high honor given to elton john and now a silicon biotech executive. we see what it gets to get that honor. >> reporter: to his colleagues,

kevin young has long been the executive vice president of operations but soon kevin will have a new title commander of the british empire. joining famous entertainers like roger daultry, elton john and james bond himself, roger moore. >> you can't help both appreciate english pageantry. it's something that is inside you. >> as part of silicon valley biotech leader sciences, kevin works to fight diseases like aids. born in the u.k., kevin is being recognized by the monarchy and by his colleagues. >> i learned a ton from him. this is my first entry into biotech. he's very passionate about what he does. >> reporter: he knows that most people know about his honor bestowed at buckingham palace because of the celebrity factor. >> the thing that made me smile

a bit was my nieces who i'm very close to were very tickled because the actor from "the king's speech" received the same level of award so i think they have the idea that if they come to the award ceremony with uncle kevin they might be able to catch a glimpse perhaps of the star. >> will call him commander? >> we do that any way. nothing has changed. exactly. >> i wouldn't like that. i must say i much prefer just to be called kevin. >> reporter: he's modest but he's about to meet the queen to help keep a 94-year-old legacy alive. >> it's part of our tradition and it is a lovely tradition. you know, being british has its

bonuses sometimes. >> reporter: scott budman, "today in the bay." >> much more ahead on "today in the bay." still to come, looking for a way to spend quality time with dad tomorrow? we'll show you the best spots in the bay area to go bird watching. and we'll talk to an expert as well. >> the weather should be nice. a bit on the cool side this morning. live look at the bay bridge shows you low clouds and misty skies for your saturday morning. we'll talk more about a warmup for your father'say d pla day p coming up when we come right ns

than today. gray skies in oakland. 55 degrees. you just saw a bit of san francisco there. patchy low clouds. a little bit of mist with low clouds this morning at 54 degrees. in san jose we see more sunshine around the santa clara valley. 54 degrees. notice the wind direction. southeast at 14. cooler air coming up from south this morning. 40s and 50s outside right now. healthy sea breeze punching into fairfield this morning. with this ocean air conditioning today, our temperatures for the most part will probably be hanging out in the 60s and 70s before things start to warm up come tomorrow. no worries today in terms of rain. clearly the jet stream is way off to the north. any chance of rain and showers will be from oregon up toward washington and the cascades. for the sierra as temperatures climb through the end of the weekend into monday, we'll see warming temperatures there. watch out for the ongoing snow melt as the rivers and creeks and streams running out of the high country still running quite high with some flood watches still posted in the high country from lake tahoe down toward

yosemite in a few spots. hour by hour with temperatures today notice what happens towards the afternoon with a cool day lots of green on the coast indicating 50s to low 60s. est is inland for most places and then as we jump toward tomorrow morning, out toward fairfield, 60s for the morning. that's indicating we're starting to see some north winds or maybe a bit of an offshore pattern develop into monday. as early as sunday afternoon, those temperatures for father's day plans out to the tri-valley warming easily into the 80s. school in san francisco. today's highs, looking at 60s and 70s for most of the bay area today. maybe as warm as near 80 degrees. seven-day forecast with summer officially starting on tuesday. it will feel like it with 80s andgr 90s inland. gorgeous 70s on the coast. nice for outdoor plans or bird

watching around the bay. back to you. >> one activity that's very easy to do around the bay area particularly this time of year. very fruitful time of year for bird watching. joining us this morning for great bird watching tips. how did you get into it? >> long, long time ago. it's just a nature thing. birds are fascinating. they are like us. very curious. colorful. easy to identify once you learn how. it's just a lot of fun. >> i would assume talking about the weather and microclimates, i would assume there's a big variety that you can see here in the bay area. >> we have a huge population here. we have some species that are dwindling because of so much development and everything and this is one of the areas that really tries hard to protect them and make people aware of which ones are endangered. >> driving in on the freeway to work, i see some red tail hawks

on my way in. of course we see the gulls at the beach. i would assume there is a big variety. where is some of the favorite spots for you? >> you get all of the water birds and shore birds and water birds are just always an abundance of them. so many different kinds. and then you also have the predators, hawks that fly around and variety of others that are going through the brush. a great place to go. we just have an embarrassment of riches of places to go here. you have redwood forest close by 20 minutes. of course we have lots of resources for people that want to learn about birding as well. >> you know, sit on a park bench and have lunch outside. you'll see gulls and pigeons. >> they all deserve to be here. >> what time of day would you say is the best time if you wanted to go out and really kind of experience it? >> generally they are more

active in the morning in early morning and late afternoon. that's their most birds feeding habits and they are around most of the time. if it's raining or really windy, they are going to be hunkered down mostly. if it's a nice day, this morning when i came in here you had hummingbirds out in front of the office. busy working flowers in front of the building. you don't have to go very far to see them. >> very good. a great activity to do with family and with kids and once you get them hooked, they'll be bird watching. maybe not formally but looking to the skies and perches. >> that's why i do beginning bird classes. kids come to them with their family and when kids get into ce, at the just get hooked. 's all about the curiosity in identifying something they haven't seen before. >> there's a family workshop today. the problem is this one is full. good news is that you will have other ones and it's relatively inexpensive. $10 a person. price of going to a movie and

sitting inside a dark theater and not talking to your family. high pressure sell. thank you so much, ralph, for joining us this morning. we'll be looking for our birds around the bay area. today is the start of a san francisco tradition which dates back more than half a century. 57th annual north beach festival talk about wildlife will be held throughout the historic neighborhood. there will be more than 100 arts and crafts booths, live entertainment and great food. festivities start at 9:00 this morning and run through tomorrow. much more ahead on "today in the bay." still to come, is it still burning. that light bulb that never goesl out in the bay area and why it

tradition. bob redell explains. >> reporter: your average light bulb lasts maybe three to five years depends on how much you use it. but here at firestation number six in livermore, california is the light bulb that seems will never go out. how long has the bulb been burning for? >> it will be 110 years this summer. >> needed a time line on what transpired. >> reporter: you must go backwards quite a distance on this time line to get back to 1901 when this light bulb was given to the livermore fire department for use as a night light. >> always the first question, is it still burning? >> reporter: the real burning question is why. >> it has last the so long. >> to find out protectors of the livermore light bulb sent a

shelby bulb to the u.s. naval academy for analysis and dissection. do we have any idea why this bulb is still burning? >> part of why it's still on is it is still on. it hasn't been turned on or off. >> the light bulb was turned off once in 1976 when it had to be moved from the original location. >> it's been on ever since. >> another factor is that it only gives off about fouwatts. that's really low. >> i believe it's in the fillment. >> the shelby bulb we have is eight times thicker. >> wow. they don't mike light bulbs like they used to. >> no. >> a beautiful warm orange glow to them. it takes you back to yesteryear.

civil penalties that need to be enforced. >> scott mckibbin and maxim integrated services could not be reached for comment. federal officers busted a multistate marijuana ring with connections to the east bay. federal prosecutors say yesterday they broke up a nationwide pot trafficking ring that took marijuana grown in northern california and distributed it nationwide. officers say they arrested the alleged ring leader, anthony guidry, and 18 others. they say they seized more than 70 pounds of marijuana. a retired law enforcement officer is accused of killing his neighbor's dogs with poison laced meatballs and this may not be his first doggy death. the owner rescued a puppy last year and also had a long haired chihuahua. she lost both of them in one

weekend allegedly at the hands of a neighbor infuriating by the dogs' barking. investigators say that he sent a year's worth of unsigned threatening letters and then threw poison meatballs into the yard killing both dogs. >> he planned this out and actually did this. it's not the first time. it makes me sick. i don't know how he can do it. and a retired police officer. >> police arrested the man on suspicion of willful cruelty to animals. they believe he may have poisoned a different neighbor's dog back in 2003. a string of home burglaries on the peninsula have authorities telling residents to be on the lookout for burglars. police say seven homes in hillsboro have been burglarized since the beginning of april. most burglaries happened during the day when nobody was home.

the howard jarvis taxpayer coalition will sue the state if politicians get paid without a working budget in place. b.a.r.t. wants your help. all of you who ride the b.a.r.t. in the east bay this morning are invited out. b.a.r.t. officials say they have the oldest fleet of train cars in the nation and they are preparing to replace them but they want your input. this morning they are holding a seat lab they call it to give the public a chance to help them choose new seats. each participant will be given a seat to try and answer a short survey about their experiences. b.a.r.t. says they are expecting to approve a contract to hire a new train car builder by the end of this year. the seat lab will be held this morning at the community park center in antioch from 11:00 this morning until 2:30 this afternoon. tips on keeping your kids safe this summer. find out where dad a

free father's day breakfast thit

looking live this morning with folks heading out for early exercise. hope they are wearing sunscreen. that's a safety tip we get from experts. summer is just a couple days away but already kids are headed outside because school is out. the child safety outreach program at children's hospital is dedicated to preventing injuries in children so summer is a very important time. nancy sanchez is here to tell us about the program. thank you so much for joining us this morning. we love it when kids are out from school and they are having fun and doing plans but it's always a risk for injury as they are out of their comfort zone, right? >> throughout the year there are child safety issues that we address but particularly in the summer there are some special issues. falls have become a great child injury issue and with windows

open and screens children are at risk of falling. it's quite a high risk for young children. >> it doesn't take much force. most of us grown-ups touch the screen and think we'll back off but they don't know. >> they can pass right through or fall off playground equipment. all kinds of falls. we have all kinds of programs in place to keep kids safe. >> you try to reach out. you go to where the people are. >> we do both. we have child passenger fitting station at our hospital in the parking deck throughout the week and we go out in the community. we've had 40 events in the past year at different places including at kohl's. >> that's what we're looking at making sure that car seats are installed properly. i think this is probably a particular concern in the summer because sometimes kids get passed off. grandma takes them for a couple days because mom and dad have to work. make sure the car seats are installed in every car.

>> in every car and when we do spot checks, 80% are not properly installed. people are well meaning but they don't have the car seat properly installed. it is worth going and getting the education and having certificate fight technician check the seat and make sure the child is snug and safe and make sure the child stays in that seat for quite a bit of time. we say six years or 60 pounds and actually best practice is up to eight years. >> even if they say, mom -- >> exactly. as long as possible. use a child restraint seat rather than a lap belt for a child. >> you all see the worst of the injuries really. a lot of them can be prevented with proper use of helmets and making sure they are not just on their heads but buckled. >> buckle up your brain we call that program. we have billboards with safety messages on the freeway this summer. people can catch them if the summer safety issues. the other is hypothermia. people think they can leave the

child in the car for just a few moments and run into the house or store. >> we saw a case of a toddler last week who was left last week in the car. it happens really, really fast. >> temperature in the car goes up very quickly. >> the child is aware. this is a very painful and scary thing for them. >> absolutely. absolutely. >> thank you very much. where can we get more information about your summer safety tips? >> we have a website. childsafety where you can hear about our program. you can go to our calendar. you can register for a car seat fitting and have an appointment with our certified technicians or find on the website about various events in the community. >> lcph. thank you very much for coming in today. nice to see you under these circumstances rather than the sadder circumstances. >> we want to keep the kids safe and healthy. >> thank you very much. we still have more ahead on "today in the bay."

and then as we get into the seven-day forecast, we're talking more 90s not just for fairfield but perhaps even san jose as we roll into the start of summer. today's highs around the bay area, coolest days of the next seven days we'll see around here. 60s for san francisco. near 70 in oakland. as you head further inland you'll find 80s but you'll have to head quite a ways inland to find temperatures. tomorrow will be easy to find 80s for inland valleys and then kind of hot as summer rolls in tuesday morning officially and right on schedule. 90s showing up there in your seven-day forecast trending cooler toward the end of the week. >> nice thing would be to not make dad stand in front of the grill on father's day. >> it will be warm but not as warm as tuesday and wednesday. should be nice. one of the toughest jobs that a dad has is putting all those things together that we buy. no leftover pieces or screws, right? maybe that's why there's a freeby offered for father's day.

tomorrow before 11:00, dad gets a free breakfast that includes eggs, hash browns, bacon, cup of coffee. one breakfast per family at participating stores. in theay mns you can go to east pallo all t ypal. thanks to dad for all those

received. >> the first one was received very well. a few years later this new film around the same subject is sort of an extension of that bringing people full circle and updating them on the current situation and just the state of the community. >> it was a packed house last night. packed house. it was well received. a lot of wonderful dialogue from the film about some of the changes and some of the recurring conditions that are happening. >> is that the goal of the film festival? sometimes film festivals are about entertainment and taking us somewhere else or is the goal to bring us back to where we need to be to see what's happening in our communities? >> that's it on the head right there. it's about emerging artists like kevin and also established artists like mario van peoples.

two films are in the festival. things fall apart. and black, white and blue. giving an opportunity for young filmmakers and also those established voices to work together to mingle together to give a new vision for not only the filmmakers but for the wider audience and the san francisco black film festival is a family tradition of a vision of opening the doors for everyone and for the wider community to come into the living room of the san francisco black film festival and to see from the perspective of voices like kevin eps of what's going on. >> kevin, obviously it starts with a passion and with a vision but then you get feedback and you take it to the next level. what kind of feedback have you gotten and are you encouraged to remain in film making? >> yes. that's my career. that's what i do to make a

living. i've been sort of blessed to be able to have some opportunities presented to me. right now i'm also doing a fellowship with the deon museum providing a great opportunity and outlet for me as an artist. so i'm very passionate about what i do. the feedback has been pretty powerful, you know, from a to z. not all positive but powerful in a sense that people -- >> we need both kinds. >> young people are inspired by him. there were a number of younger teenage filmmakers out there last night for the opening. >> we have so many stories to tell here in the bay area. thank you both very much. the film festival continues through tomorrow. if you want to see it. th us is fo rnmoing. us this rning. thank you. nice to meet you both.
