normally travel the freeway and dond live that close it's not that big of a deal. we're talking with a lot of our viewers that it's not that big and a lot of them staying home, perhaps giving extra business to local neighborhoods. >> john, thanks. 6:19. two golden state warriors are making plans ahead of a planned sports armageddon. they say they are considering playing overseas if the nba lock-out extends into the season. curry has his agent looking at professional league in china to see if he could be picked up. right says china would be his first choice since he has endorsement deal with the chinese basketball shoe company. neither has a deal in place. and this is talk the nfl lockout could end tonight. players and owners agreed on a

bridge toll plaza. there are no metering heights, a live look shows you the low clouds we're watching hovering around. visibility of the drive not so great. >> aren't we going to talk about m.c.? >> sunday is 80s day so a big hero of mine from the 80s, m.c. hammer on my play list. we didn't have a play list. i call thech discs. look at that. we have a sneak peek. >> is this not the nicest bobble head? it's huge. hook at him, he spins and everything. >> you said it's the first 15,000 fans receive that. >> i did not but you did. >> good. time 6:39. a moon bow is like a rainbow but

without all of that sun light. how beautiful. new airline rules take effect soon. how they will force the airlines to pay you for baggage. i'll have reportngcos up.mi

>> new rules take effect next month that will force airlines to pay you if they lose your luggage. but passengers say there are some loopholes they don't like.

"today in the bay's" kristen dahlgren has all of the information for us. >> good morning. here's the problem for a lot of passengers. the baggage has to be lost. it can't just be delayed. so, a lot of people annoyed that they have to pay fees in the first place under the new rules, the airline only needs to reimburse passenger they never get their luggage. if it gets to you a day late, two days late, the airline not required to reimburse you. so a lot of passengers saying they don't go far enough. the air transport association says if airlines had to pay back the fee for every time a bag was delayed they would have to start charging more. there are a few other protections under the new rules that require the airlines to disclose new changes to their baggage fees for three months before they go into effect. also on the website when you're booking they have to make you aware and disclose what baggage

fees would be. a few protection there is but for a lot of passengers not going far enough. >> i can understand that. i never had my luggage completely lost. it has been diverted, went to the wrong airport. in your case have you experienced that? >> i never had it completely lost either. and the airlines say it's only about 1% of bags that are actually lost but i definitely had mine not get to me for a few days. that's pretty annoying. >> it was on christmas for me. >> bah, humbug. >> 6:44. a change in curriculum headed to california classrooms. the history of the gay community meaning gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders will be included in lesson plans. the governor signed the bill making california the first state in the country requiring it be covered in school. the bill will teach students to

be more accepting of gays and lesbians, opponents argue it's imposing homosexuality on families not comfortable with that lifestyle. >> you can catch a glimpse at moon bows at yosemite national park. the full moon should be bright enough to shine through the spray from the water falls, this is spectacular. the lack of artificial light in yosemite makes it the ideal place to watch moon bows. a filmmaker made this for the yosemite conservancy. he says usually about 200 people turn out to see the moon bows, most leave the park at sunset, not realizing what the night has to offer. 6:45. christina, i'm sure you're familiar with the moon bow term. i had never heard of that. >> have you heard after blue moon? i bet you have. good morning to you. pretty cool stuff. we've got other meteorological

phenomenon happening. fog developing as we speak. we had a picture of the golden gate bridge about an hour ago, now that marine push all the way inland. you're going to find mostly cloudy start but not as hong as yesterday. that's good news if you are looking for warmer weather. we have warmer days ahead. we'll see a warm-up through your weekend. temperatures start to sky rocket toward the end of next week under a strong ridge of high pressure setting up in the eastern pacific. you can see where it's taking the storm track as we head throughout the next couple of days this will continue to inch toward us and nudge that trough of low pressure out of the way. so a warm-up on the way. if you are missing the 90s that we see this time of year, the upper 80s, in places like livermore, they'll be back at the end of next week. you'll get your summer. 54 in san mateo, we're headed to about 60 at noon in the city with a really comfortable mix of sun and clouds. mild conditions. when the highs check in, breezy,

was they beat the padres. 6:47. we're headed back to nasa. a live report. >> this friday our gadget friday. >> the 101 looks better than it did but there is slowing here for san rafael. navigating today's real estate market is complicated. you've seen the signs. that's why having the right real estate agent is more important than ever. at remax.com, you can find experts in short sales or bank-owned properties or commercial real estate, agents who can help speed up the process, no matter how intricate. and that's good news, whether you're trying to sell or hoping to buy. because the only sign you really want to see is "sold."

>> it's 6:50. a slower drive, a gradual build, 20 minutes now at speeds closer to 40 than 50 throughout most of the livermore drive. looking at antioch, over the last 20 minutes, bam, things hit hard. 12 miles per hour through this stretch from before you get to eighth street all the way past

lov ridge. 242, look at that, some slowing there. closer to the maze, along the interchange, caldecott tunnel, interstate 80, about 19 minutes off the carquinez bridge. no problems with the toll plaza. no metering lights. slowing at the brkly curve. further south, a connector over the water. the san mateo bridge and we see the volume holding steady. slowing from the southbound direction onto westbound 92 making you through the area. and you can't see the that peninsula sign. the low clouds may be a factor later on in the commute. sort of threatening around the bay area and not a major problem for drivers. >> thanks, mike. 6:51. no secret harry potter fans could not wait to get into the midnight showing of the final movie overnight. so what was their reaction? >> i've been a harry potter fan since i was 8. >> i did enjoy it. it was the end of an era. i grew up with the characters.

6:52. >> good morning to you. you're familiar with angry birds, everybody's got it on their phone. let me show you real life angry birds. this comes from think geek.com. like a board game. so you set up the stuff in your living room there and you knock them over using real life angry birds. there we go. we're trying to get the flicker right. that's what we call it the flicker. trying to get it to knock over the angry birds. you draw a card, determine if you're the one who builds the structure there or knocks it over. these things are so popular. these are so popular that they are actually sold out on think geek.com. >> you find this entertaining? >> do i -- do you find this entertaining? >> absolutely. >> okay. >> actually, we had a fight in

the house who had to be the flicker. you know, my 9-year-old asked how do you make the bird explode in midair? i said you can't. but about too 3 buck from think geek but told out. i checked. >> next week marks the end of an era after 30 years of space exploration nasa's shuttle program will draw to a close. bob redell is live at nasa ames. what's up, deejay bob? >> good morning to you. we're a group of reporters participating in a nationwide news conference with these ladies and gentlemen here. the international space station, it's orbiting 240 miles above -- above earth now, taking questions from reporters across the country. we're waiting our turn to talk to the gentleman, you look in the back row, second from the

left is rex wallheim. we want to ask if he could see san carlos from outer space. earlier he addressed how he's trying to saver the last mission. this being an historic moment in this country's space program. >> for me, i had a chance to look out the great window and we san see the southern lights, we crowded around and got to see that. savoring every minute of floating in space. when you're on "atlantis" you look around and think of all of the guys and women there before you and who had a part in the space program and think wow, this is the last night. so it does cross your mind once in a while. >> reporter: there you go. you got live pictures of the shuttle excuse me the space station astronauts, now back to mission control. we will come to us so we can ask our questions. after we're finished they will be receiving a phone call from

the commander in chief, president barack obama. they were asked earlier what they would say to the president or our politicians. and then they would try to appeal to congress to focus on the long term on the horizon, not just the next one to two years but 10 to 15 years looking forward. the 135th shuttle mission getting ready to come to an end in under a week, the last mission for this program. >> bob, i know you're prepared. what question respect you going to throw out there? >> i'm just curious what his thoughts are on the program shutting down, what he thinks its legacy is going to be. he was talking about trying to identify san carlos from outer space. i think he was going to look for 280 and triangulate from there. >> mike has a map for him. i wonder how they do in terms of you think argue with each other? too close for comfort.

>> there's a lot of space up there. can always go to the escape capsule to find quiet time. >> thank you. >> so there is soccer this weekend. that is cool stuff. we've got the usa and then the big game. >> mexico is playing. >> the top international men's club, manchester city from the premier division they play at 5:00 p.m. we checked, and guess what, tickets are still available. >> parking is not, i think. >> a huge issue. and the civic center to watch the women's soccer. >> don't forget the lady. >> go women. so proud of you. >> thank you for being with us. everybody have a fantastic

hello parents, it's going to be your kids are going to climb rope. they're going to have a year long tug war with the ceiling. and by the time they get out of 8th grade, they're going to do it with sweat on their brow and achievement in their hearts. so, this is what they're gonna need: running shoes, t-shirts, tube socks, fruit cups, cheese sticks, energy bars, rope climbing gloves, rope burn ointment, and a jump drive. not sure what that is, but they're gonna be jumpin'. school takes a lot. target has it all.
