and here we are looking live at some of the preparations under way for the pride celebration that is going to be happening starting at noon at civic center plaza. san francisco, if you're headed that way, maybe try some public transportation. if you use twitter, get ready for some changes. there are reports that the company will boost the level of advertising on its site by making promoted tweets part of the user's mainstream of updates. tech experts say the move makes sense because twitter has not been a big revenue generator so far. facebook, yahoo!, and google have all found ways to make ads as part of daily searches and messages already. the first full weekend of summer is going to be a beautiful one. chief meteorologist jeff ranieri has a forecast that could bring rain to your workweek. >> good morning. as the fog gradually clears throughout the day, we'll have sunshine for the peninsula and for inland spots. it will be cool at the coast for

sunday more afternoon sun and a mix of 70s and 80s coming our way for the pride festivities and also for the parade. ahead we are looking for the chance here of some showers, some very rare june showers, in our seven-day forecast. the next 48 hours, though, on this weekend, the onshore flow continues with patchy fog and temperatures in the 80s inland. inland is where you want to go if you want to get the warm to hot temperatures for saturday and sunday. as for the morning, well, look at those numbers right around the low to mid-50s here. as we head throughout our saturday, the numbers will peak out here, 77 in fremont. 82 in concord. 82 in napa, 77 in san rafael, and upper 60s to near 70 degrees in san francisco. if you're headed to the east bay, maybe to the alameda county fair in pleasanton, it will be a nice day out there with partly cloudy skies, and temperatures near 80 degrees. and check this out. tickets pretty cheap, from 6 to 10 bucks and even for some of the youngsters it will be free there, the fair running all the

way through july the 10th. all right, otherwise here we'll look at the upper 80s -- well, upper 70s and low 80s for los gatos, palo alto, 80, san francisco, 69, and richmond expecting 69 degrees. and for orrin da, 80, napa, 76, kentfield, 77. and for much of the north bay upper 70s and low to mid-80s. and still cool in bodega bay, which is 57. on your seven-day forecast, fabulous for sunday, and 84 inland, and upper 60s and low 70s at the coastline near san francisco. monday and tuesday, it's dry. but look at this, some rare june showers and possibly some isolated thunderstorms into late tuesday and wednesday of next week. that's one to watch. otherwise not so bad for this weekend. well, the bay area is full of them, successful, smart, eligible young bachelors, but what many of the men didn't learn in school is how to relate to the opposite sex.

boot camps led by pickup artists are popping up promising to help the men get the women of their dreams. we take a look inside the seduction seminars. >> reporter: signals saying go. friday night in san francisco, once named the city that knows how. >> this is something that you have to practice. >> reporter: and if sf is the city that knows how -- >> do what i want. >> reporter: -- this is the boot camp to learn how. >> is there anyone that hasn't read "the game"? >> reporter: to get game and girls. >> how you dress, how you behave and how you smell. >> reporter: it's three days and two nights of intense training, run by the abcs of attraction, the slogan, empower yourself. >> i've always been very shy. >> reporter: we agreed to hide the men's faces because in the world of swagger and seduction, a how-to workshop doesn't scream sexy. >> you have fun by being different. >> reporter: but there's no

shame in admitting you need help with your game says instructor garrett jones. >> i think the guys say i'm not very good with women, i don't know what they want, i want to learn what they want. i think that's cool. >> reporter: along with his wing men and women, he takes them through charts, graphs, scripts, and exercises. >> stand your ground. turn around. big smile. >> reporter: learning to be fun makers, not fun takers. >> gentlemen, don't use straws. i'll tell you that right off the bat. you're never, ever, ever allowed to walk through the crowd like this. slower and lower tonalities appeal to the subconscious mind. >> how to walk. >> how to walk confidently. >> and how to turn over. >> touch, turn, release. >> hi. >> okay? >> reporter: it's a technical approach to a social skill that appeals to these book-smart bachelors. the typical student is a college grad with a six-figure salary. >> i had no girlfriends in high school, barely any dates in

college. and so i was very awkward. >> reporter: he's a boot camp graduate, he said so many bay area bachelors look great on paper, but dating is their achilles' heel as a friend of a friend recently proved. >> his suggestion for their first date was to eat at the google cafeteria as their first date, which is free food. as an engineer, i already have access to free food, why would i pay for something, an objective and smart and successful person. but this is a complete blind spot for him. >> reporter: after four hours in class, the men face their first challenge. each one must approach ten women and invite them to hang out. >> how's everybody feeling? >> good. >> tonight's not about getting numbers, it's not about getting dates, it's just about socializing. >> reporter: one last practice turn and it's go time. ♪ we watch as they approach, turn, and talk to multiple women. >> i went up to her and turned around and i said to her --

>> reporter: and not a single drink gets splashed on any of the men. >> she's like i'm so-and-so and my friend is -- >> reporter: he remembers those days when practice made perfect. he's now in a long-term relationship. >> i would say a good majority of the guys aren't looking for a gazillion one-night stands trying to find a whole bunch of club girls with, like, you know, butterfly tattoos. >> most of the guys just want to find a nice girl. >> reporter: and live happily ever after. >> every guy wants something different, but i've been a best man at two weddings and, like, i've never had an experience cooler than that. >> reporter: in the city that knows how, men are learning how. >> everybody likes fun. >> reporter: one boot camp at a time. >> yes, awesome, awesome, thank you. >> reporter: vicky nguyen, nbc bay area news. >> they can cost anywhere from

$900 to $1,500. much more ahead on "today in the bay," bay area sports highlights, plus making some of your favorite ballpark snacks at home. we'll talk with a former google chef about the secret succulence of at&t's most popular dish. ♪

olympic torch is burning bright. special olympians and their law enforcement sponsors started the journey early yesterday morning that winds through sacramento on the way to uc davis where the athletes will compete. the california highway patrol has long helped to raise funds for the northern california special olympics and there's a good reason why this partnership is so well. >> i like to run, i said i like to run. and the next thing i know, i've been doing it for 13 years and once you get involved with the olympic athletes and start doing things with them, it just pulls you right in. >> the northern california special olympics starts today and continues through tomorrow. always cool to see. this morning the alameda county fair is up and running, there are games, rides, food, and also a big historical celebration this time around. today a public ceremony to celebrate the fair's 100th anniversary including the unveiling of a 53-ton granite monument. the public celebration starts

"today in the bay" continues in 2.

good saturday morning to you. taking a live look from one of our san francisco cameras. you can see lots of fog there over the bay, but it is going to clear out and just going to be pleasant this afternoon. thanks so much for joining us on this saturday morning. i'm kris sanchez, jeff ranieri has a full look at that forecast. after that fog clears you'll have plenty of sunshine for today. you'll still stay cool at the

coast with plenty of 60s. and for sunday we'll see the same thing with a mix of 70s and 80s and the afternoon sunshine, and we are even looking at the possibility of some showers in our seven-day forecast. specifically for saturday, we'll find those upper 70s and low 80s inland with partly cloudy skies. and for sunday, those numbers will get even just a little bit warmer. as for today, 81 in los gatos. 71 in santa cruz. 68 in san francisco. and upper 70s and low 80s for the north bay. if you're headed out to the east bay, maybe to the alameda county fair in pleasanton, temperatures near 80 degrees by 3:00 p.m. and at the fair it runs pretty cheap with tickets at about $10 if you are going to be out in alameda, and it's running right until july the 10th. all right, on your seven-day forecast, it looks great for the pride festivities this weekend as well, with those low 70s in san francisco, and then we'll be monitoring those possible showers by wednesday of next week. and this morning investigators from the national

transportation safety board remain at the scene of that tragic amtrak train collision in rural nevada. that's where at least five people died when a tractor-trailer collided with the emeryville-bound train at a rail crossing about 70 miles east of reno. that fiery crash happened on a desolate section of highway 95 in the town of lovelock. 195 passengers were on board the ten-car train when the big rig crashed into it. three train cars burst into flames, sending billowing smoke into the air. the big rig driver was killed, immediately, as -- rather on the scene as were a train conductor and three passengers. at least 100 other people were injured in this crash and taken to area hospitals. among the lucky, though, a san jose family returning home from a trip to utah. >> it didn't sink in until after we saw the fire going through the train so -- >> now that you're here, is it sort of like, wow, this -- we were very lucky? >> very lucky. we're very thankful.

very thankful. there were two fatalities, very sad for them. >> people screaming, trying to get out. and the smoke was rolling towards the back, and that's where we were, and we were just trying to keep ahead of the smoke. >> it just, like, hit and tipped the car over. and then, like, the flames were on the windows. and, like, a lot of screaming. >> and we do know that at least five people were killed in that crash now. in a statement, amtrak's president expressed sadness for those who died and injured as well. the train was headed to emeryville from chicago. a possible shift in the brian stowe beating case. for the first time the los angeles police department is opening the door to the possibility that building a case against the main suspect may not be that easy. "today in the bay's" george kiriyama explains the latest on the investigation. >> reporter: charlie beck perked up ears outside police headquarters when he

acknowledged for the first time the possibility of a different outcome in the brian stowe investigation. >> if it leads to conviction, if it leads to exoneration, wherever it leads, we will follow the case. >> reporter: lapd's ongoing investigation of giovanni ramirez has undergone scrutiny from the beginning. it's intensefied because of the lack of evidence such as usable dna. >> you know, they're doing in-depth analysis of not only all the clues that are outstanding but all the clues that are being looked at. we'll pursue this case until we've reached resolution. >> reporter: from the moment ramirez was arrested his attorneys have insisted he's had a solid alibi. chief beck said follow-up work needs to be done, but he's confident ramirez will be truth. >> we go where the case takes us. and we will follow every lead. we will interview every involved person until we come to a conclusion.

>> we checked with our legal analyst about what the lapd chief charlie beck said, if it leads to conviction or if it leads to exoneration and attorney steven clark tells nbc bay area that he takes it to mean that the lapd wants to convey the message that they are keeping an open mind rather than focusing on on just one suspect. it wasn't long ago that san jose proudly was considered the safest big city in the nation but with deadly violence ramping up, the san jose police department is getting federal help in tackling a gang problem. two federal gang experts will be embedded in san jose's gang task force as part of a program called operation community shield. >> yeah, we've got 14 gang-related homicides this year, and we are also seeing an overall rise in gang-related crime that's not homicide but maybe aggravated assault type stuff, so we're looking at a significant problem and we need to pull in all the resources we can to address that problem. that's part of the reason we're going into this partnership. >> two gang experts come at no

cost to the san jose police department. operation community shield launched in 2005, it has since been involved with 22,000 gang-related arrests nationwide. another weekend, another desperate and emotionally exhausting search for the missing student michelle le. her family will gather from 8:00 to 5:00 in hayward today. the last place where her cell phone was tracked almost a month ago. earlier this week the family hired a private investigator to work independently of the fbi and hayward police investigators who are working under the assumption that le was killed. her family believes she is alive. le disappeared after taking a break from her clinical rotation at a hayward hospital. and here's a look at new surveillance video released by morgan hill police investigators who are trying to track down two kidnappers and car thiefs. the video shows the car the two suspects are believed to be driving a late model toyota camry, with a shattered rear window. police say the suspects walked out of a morgan hill food bank

on may 31st and stole an infiniti car with a baby inside. the baby was found later abandoned inside the car near a park in salinas. the pair are allegedly still using the credit card that they stole. and new this morning, rohnert park police released a sketch a man they say assaulted a woman eight days ago while she was jogging. the suspect is described as white between 30 and 35 years old, he's tall between 62' and 6'4". the woman was jogging behind the americana and parkridge apartment complexes when she was confronted. after the man grabbed the woman's arm, she says that he unsuccessfully tried to cut her face with a box cutter. if you have any information you're asked to call rohnert park police. and a peninsula man accused in a car vandalism spree two years ago is in custody this

morning. police arrested anthony mitchell this morning on four outstanding warrants. one of the warrants is for an alleged tire-splashing spree in 2009 in san carlos where the tires of more than 50 cars were flattened in just one night. investigators say mitchell was identified in the suspect in the crime after his blood matched a sample found on a rim from one of the victim's cars. mitchell is being held in a san carlos jail. and san francisco's pride celebration gets under way in just a few hours, and organizers say they expect more than a million people to attend over the two-day event. the celebration starts at noon at san francisco's civic center plaza, and this year's event is focusing on on gay and lesbian youth who are struggling with bullying and understanding. the party will be a bit shorter than in years past. and some parts of the area and police will crack down on public drinking, though we talked to the organizer he said where they are at civic center plaza, the party will actually be a little bit longer on sunday. much more ahead on "today in the bay." still to come, why gangsters are

being set free with very little oversight. and the carpool perk that's about to go

and looking live at the golden gate bridge, looking gray this morning, but the fog will burn off and it's going to be a nice day for all of the pride events and whatever else you have planned for your weekend. gang members are about to be set free with little oversight. state budget cuts mean that it's going to be harder to keep track of convicted gang members. the state corrections department was monitoring about 950 gang parolees with gps devices but now can afford to track fewer than half that number. one of the gang members who recently had his monitoring device removed was linked to a home invasion and shootout the very next day. >> we did that as a public safety measure. we had the funding and

unfortunately now we don't have the funding. we have no choice. >> it affects only gang members not the more than 7,000 sex offenders tracked by the corrections department. they will keep those devices. a failure to protect leads to a large payout. african-american students who say a union city school district did little to provide campus security, they got a $725,000 settlement with the district. the lawsuit cited the shooting death of vernon eddins in 2007. the video shows when the student was gunned down on the steps of bernard white middle school. the families of 12 students claim the new haven unified school district ignored years of complaints that a mostly latino gang was attacking black students on school grounds. the settlement requires students and visitors to require i.d. on campus along with special programs for students and staff as well. well, this morning, bay area drivers who carpool to work could see their commute get a little easier, a little faster

in a couple of weeks. the state issued stickers to more than 85,000 hybrid owners allowing them to drive in the high occupancy vehicle the hov lane during the commute without an extra passenger, but after july 1st owners that have yellow hov stickers can no longer zip through traffic in the carpool lanes unless they're actually carpooling. according to the dmv the perk will be going away because the hybrid no longer fits the program. much more ahead on "today in the bay." still to come, underwater flooding worries in north dakota. is there aie rny sf elht?ta

looking live at oakland this morning. a little bit of a gray haze hanging overhead, but it is going to warm up. though, a surprise little raindrop perhaps in our

forecast. jeff ranieri will show us that. >> well, good morning. as that fog gradually clears throughout the day, we'll have sunshine for the peninsula and also for inland spots. it will still stay cool at the coast and for sunday more afternoon sun and a mix of 70s and 80s coming our way for the pride festivities and also for the parade. and ahead we are looking at the chance here of some showers, some very rare june showers, in our seven-day forecast. the next 48 hours, though, on this weekend, we'll see that onshore flow and the patchy fog here with temperatures in the 80s inland, so inland is where you want to go if you want to get those warm to hot temperatures for saturday and sunday. as for the morning, well, look at those numbers right around the low to mid-50s here. and as we head throughout our saturday, those numbers will peak out here. 77 in fremont. 82 in concord. 82 in napa. 77 in san rafael and upper 60s to near 70 degrees in san francisco. if you're headed to the east bay maybe the alameda county fair in pleasanton, it will be a nice

y out there with partly cloudy skies and temperatures near 80 degrees. and check this out, tickets pretty cheap, from six to ten bucks, and even for some of the youngsters, it will be free there, with this fair running all the way through july the 10th. all right, otherwise here, we'll look at those upper 80s and, well, upper 70s and low 80s for palo alto and san francisco, richmond also expecting 69 degrees. and for orinda 80, kentfield 77. and much of the north bay upper 70s and low to mid-80s. still cool in bodega bay, 57. fabulous for sunday, and upper 60s and low 70s at the coastline near san francisco. monday and tuesday, it's dry, but look at this, some rare june showers and possibly isolated thunderstorms into late tuesday and wednesday of next week. that's one to watch. otherwise, not so bad for this

weekend. >> all right, well, it is going to get worse before it gets better in minot, north dakota, where torrential rain has been rele relentless, the worst flooding is yet to come with parts of town under water. more than 2,000 homes have been swallowed up by the floodwaters and officials believe before the souris river crests, thousands more will be flooded. those who have lost everything are staying in red cross shelters. >> when everyone is safe is when everything will settle in, people will realize what they're losing in this flood. >> it tears my heart out to see my friends my family, my neighbors, and their homes are under water. >> and new dams and levees were expected to prevent any more floods in minot, but a combination of near record snow and rainfall forced officials at four dams jum river to release water. for parents with teenagers letting them go out and do their

own thing can be tough especially when they naturally want to protect their children, but as teenagers grow more independent and start going to parties it's the kind of parties that they're going to that keep parents up all night. the parties that we're talking about are raves, and legal or not, they can be common ground for ecstasy drug users and things like electric daisy carnival which is a festival happening. let's get to our guests here, we won't make you wait. john, thank you very much, from the division adolescent treatment center. you're an expert in this, and we know especially in the summer the kids get restless and they want to start experimenting and sometimes they are able to convince us parents that they're ready to make decisions on their own. what sort of things do you think that parties like raves present for teenagers especially? >> it provides a dangerous situation where many times alcohol and drugs like ecstasy or other drugs that we see now, things like spice and k-2 that

we don't even know how -- what the consequences are going to we are readily available. >> okay. and, you know, already we're talking about teenagers, they are already predisposed to wanting to thrill seek, right? i mean, developmentally speaking, they can't help themselves. >> absolutely. you think about kids when you go to disneyland or magic mountain, you say keep your heads and arms and legs inside the vehicles all the time and the kids go like this, what am i missing? we say don't use drugs, what am i missing. instead of showing the consequences of the behaviors. >> sometimes we see kids going to raves or parties where there is alcohol or drugs available, and they're not planning to experiment. they just want to go hang out with their friends and be at a party, but then they get lured into it. they kind of let their guard down, so for parents who are looking to see if their kids maybe are getting involved with the wrong crowd, the wrong things, what sorts of things should we look for? >> first of all, kris, let's define this. if there's a party, the wrong crowd is going to be there

already. we always hope that our kids will make the right decisions, remember, they're kids. they don't make the right decisions. we want to keep them safe. parents should know where their kids are going to be, when they are supposed to be home and who they are with, and absolutely check up on them regularly. the parents should walk into the parties and should see these things. >> a lot of times parents say if i do that, they'll think that i don't trust them. is it okay for us to think that we don't trust them? >> absolutely. i believe in trust with verification. i'll trust you as long as i know what's going on, once i see that you're safe and making good decisions through, you know, smelling you when you walk through the door, showing you up at the parties making sure you're exactly where you say you're going to be, trust with verification is very important. >> if they experiment once or twice, it could turn into a longer experimentation, and what are the long-term effects of drugs like ecstasy or the things they can get at a party or a rave? >> let's speak about experimentation for a minute. if i told you i was going to go

out and experiment with gravity by jumping off my roof, you'd say that's not experimentation, that's dangerous. i think a lot of the things going on right now with kids are really dangerous behaviors. when we look at ecstasy, mdma, first of all, you got to think of some guy, some hoodlum in a back alley somewhere putting together pills in a press. this is not happening in a laboratory, so when somebody says i'm taking ecstasy, they don't really know what they're taking. they know it's a white pill or a blue pill with an "e" on it. it's very important, we've seen some studies where they looked at pills, some had ten milligrams, some had 120 milligrams in them. that's huge. one time a kid takes three pills and it barely gets him high, the next time he takes three and he overdose. those are really dangerous, quote-unquote, experiments going on. it changes the way that your body processes electrolytes.

>> okay. >> so those are the things that keep your brain working properly. the salts in your brain, i'm not a doctor, but what happened to sasha when she died at the daisy carnival event in l.a., they s.t.a.r.t.ed givi e started giving her fluids and her body overheated and she died. >> those are the stories we don't like to see especially. you have tips for parents. visions teen. >> visionsteen.com. >> that's where we can find more information. thank you for joining us today and hopefully we won't have a repeat of some of the stories we hear every summer. still ahead, tattoos tell a meory, some s an tano w tlo c tsehe book on. we'll show you a story giving gang members a clean slate.

as we mentioned earlier, the san jose police department is grappling with a surge in deadly gang violence. the city is getting federal help, and that's the enforcement

part of the puzzle, but there's another part and that's prevention and for that the city helps former gang members literally remove parts of their past. >> first was this one. three dots. signifying my crazy life. for me it's three point where you end up, hospital, cemetery, or jail. >> reporter: that tattoo and the ones behind his ears tell the world the story of his gang life, a story he's working to rewrite. >> i feel like i did a lot of damage to a lot of people, and i think that's something i will not ever repay. >> reporter: two years ago he walked away from his gang, but even as he took the bus to and from school, the tattoos made him a target. >> i would have to put a band-aid over it, wear a hoodie sweater where nobody sees it and i don't get no drama. >> here we go. >> reporter: on this day he sits through his sixth laser tattoo

removal session, the culmination of the city of san jose's clean slate program, and they do 30 hours of community service and stay clean, in return they get sessions with dr. sherwin lewis. who donates his time. >> i had some here and on my hands and my fingers and i had one on my eye, like a dot, on my chest, on my back. everywhere. >> reporter: between raising a daughter and paying for college to become a dental hygienist, she couldn't afford tattoo removal which could be expensive and painful. 35 sessions later, her gang life is nearly erased. >> i'm really thankful. >> and we'll be righba i have fallen in love with making bird houses.
