jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." 5:02. high school journal students on the peninsula are writing about a very sensitive subject, rape. students at palo alto high school says rape happens at parties, but people don't talk or report it. students are writing about it in the school's magazine called "verde." the culture of rape is in the new edition. they're hoping the blunt articles will start a conversation. >> shortly after we distributed the magazine i was walking across the quad and i heard some people discussing what they thought was rape and comparing it to what was in the article. and that is exactly what i wanted to happen. >> the publication is online but palo alto high school parents will also get a copy of the magazine in the mail later this week. >> in a matter of hours, we'll get an update on the busted bolts on the bay bridge and what caltrans plans to do to fibs those problems. this, coming as more experts now say this all could have been prevented. "today in the bay's" christie

smith is live and has all the details this morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. caltrans thichings they have an idea but is expected to deliver more information on what went wrong and a possible fix for the bolts on the eastern span of the bay bridge. a meeting later this morning in oakland before the bay area toll authority. after it was discovered that 96 bolts had broken off after being tightened on the eastern span. these bolts were on a seismic safety structure on the bridge. steel rods we're talking about are between nine and 24-feet long. and caltrans had suspended tightening the remaining 192 bolts pending the outcome of the investigation. it's believed that the bolts had too much hydrogen in them, making them brittle. a second batch of bolts has been tightened and is holding so far, but caltrans is folk you using on a long-term solution. >> this is an important matter, there's just no doubt.

eastern span of the bridge was built to achieve seismic safety. this element is part of that safety element. >> reporter: now the eastern span is a $6.4 billion structure and preliminary repair estimates, we're told, are coming in at about $1 million. caltrans says fixing the problem still might not delay the opening of the new eastern span on labor day weekend. reporting live on treasure island, christie smith, "today in the bay." 5:04. california could become the first state to punish the boy scouts of america for its anti-gay policy. today, lawmakers will consider a bill that would hurt troops financially.

does not have the patience for that. he is introducing what's called the youth equality act. lawmakers will consider it for the first time. it would deny tax exempt status to nonprofit youth groups that discriminate on the basis of gender identity, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion or religious affiliation. this means the boy scouts and its california affiliates would have to pay corporate taxes on donations, membership dues, camp fees and other sources of income. senator outright admits that it is to put pressure on their anti-gay policy. the openly gay scout denied the rank of eagle scout even though he complete d all his requirements. it is safe to say that he and his family will support this new bill.
