7:01 am
thanks for joining us on this sunday morning. i'm kris sanchez along with meteorologist rob mayeda. i like the temperature. >> we have 60 around the coast. 80s later on today for some inland locations. right now, san jose, 57 degrees. 54 in san francisco. fairfield, 55. but it's been quite windy this morning. southwest winds up to 26 miles per hour. gusts of 30 in solano county. we have the cooler marine air inland with patches of clouds across the inner pay. we should see clouds over san francisco and the coast, and then brief breaks of sunshine around the coast during the day. and then by 7:00, the clouds spill back in once again. temperature wise, by lunch time, low 60 temps. oakland, should see mid-70s around san jose. antioch and liver more, close to 80. mild to finish off the weekend and the first half of the forecast unusually cold for this
7:02 am
time of year. >> thank you very much, rob. we start you off this morning with breaking news in san leandro. a woman is dead, a man fighting for his life an horrific head-on crash overnight. fire officials tell us one car veered into oncoming traffic after 2:00 this morning, striking another car head-on. this happened near the intersection of washington and 139th avenues. the female passenger in the car that was hit died at the scene. and that car's driver is in critical condition this morning. the driver of the other car was also hurt, but is expected to survive. officials say alcohol may have played a role in this crash. and a developing story in the south bay where a san jose police officer is recovering this morning after crashing his patrol car during a police pursuit last night. police say the short chase started around 9:00 last night when the officer spotted a wanted suspect near 11th and east santa clara streets downtown, not far from san jose state campus. at some point, police say both
7:03 am
cars jumped the curb. the patrol car slamming into a palm tree. the officer was taking to the hospital. the suspect took off on foot and is still at large this morning. happening now in berkeley, dozens of people continue to camp out on the steps of the city's main post office, protesting the sale of the historic building. the demonstrators pitched tent yesterday afternoon at the building on alston way, saying they will stay until the u.s. postal service reverses its decision. the u.s. postal service blamed the closure on the down economy and a steady decline in mail, which of course means less money for the usps. protesters argue it does not make sense to sell the 52,000 square foot building just to pay rent nearby. >> we're saying this is public space and how dare they try to sell it off for private profit. this is a public service that been around for 238 years. >> part of the demonstration included teach-ins on the
7:04 am
privatization of public service as wep. the u.s. postal service said its debt could reach $45 billion by 2014 if congress does not pass legislation allowing the usps to change its business model. >> whatever you did in the last b.a.r.t. strike, get ready to do it again. bartd and its unions have one week before the temporary contract extension ends and there's still no deal in sight. while both sides continue to be at odds over employee pay raises, the mercury news reports this morning that b.a.r.t. workers top the list of the highest-paid transit operators in california last year with an average gross pay of just over $76,500. overall, b.a.r.t.'s average employee made nearly $10,000 more than those at san francisco muni, which is the state's second highest paid transit workers. b.a.r.t. workers though say they wages have been flat for the past four years. the next meetings are scheduled for tuesday.
7:05 am
police in morgan hill are using social media to try to track down a suspected thief. in a facebook and twitter posting, the morgan hill police department announced they're looking for this man in this photo. they say his name is colby worsham, and he's associated with multiple thelts in morgan hill, including stealing cell phones. police did not give the age of the suspect. they are simply asking for the public's help in tracking him down. a controversial ord nnls that would make it illegal to live in your car in palo alto is now headed to the city council for consideration. a large crowd of people on both sides of the issue gathered at a community center yesterday. those who support the ban say that it addresses concerns over the sometimes aggressive and unsanitary behavior of some of the people who live in their cars. but those against the ordinance say it criminalizes people who are facing tough economic times. >> you know, perhaps car dwelling could remain here with security guards or perhaps car
7:06 am
dwelling could be relocated to another part of town that's further from residences. >> if the city council approves the ordinance, supporters say there could be time to educate people about the law and let them know about social services to help them get off the streets. >> new this morning, the louis vuitton cup on display went missing for a short time last night. belvedere police say the cup was removed from the yacht club before 10:30 last night but that it was because of a communication error. police are not releasing many details this morning, but we did see video in which a heavy police presence was used to track down the cup and one person was taken into custody. no word yet on where that cup was found. the cup was brought back to the club a short time later, and will be on display today at the america's cup village. speaking of the louis vuitton cup, an interesting week of sailing on the san francisco bay, including the swedish

team's return to practice on the bay. today in the bay's lauren scott has the latest. >> if the ac-72 catamarans are the star of the show at the americas cup, then the wing sails are at the center at 130 feet tall. we saw the true power of the wings last weekend when emirates team new zealand lost their jib and the wing was enough to power them to victory. saturday's cup -- >> the beauty of the wing is it's so efficient for a certain sized wing, you can go from a huge power source to a very clean and efficient power source. you don't have to reduce the style with the batten style flap that shakes away. the wing keeps twisting and feathering. >> the other top story line was the return of artems racing with their boat big blue in part to
7:08 am
honor andrew simpson who died in training in the last boat. they had their teammate in mind when they launched the new boat. >> he would be so excited. he would have been talking about every intricacy on the boat, reminding us we have to beat team new zealand and in general firing the team up. it's mixed emotions today. but i'm going to try to enjoy it for what it is, a fantastic boat with a great bunch of guys. >> they're targeting august 6th for their first date of competition, while sunday action in the bay will see emirates team new zealand going head to head with luna rosa. >> by the way, the louis vuitton cup determines who faces oracle team usa in the americas cup in september. still ahead on today in the bay, wedding bells ring for a woman who was recently diagnosed with an aggressive type of

7:12 am
imagined, outside under sunny skies with lots of music, smiling faces and of course a giant cheer as the groom kissed the bride. afterward, they said the term dream wedding was no understatement. >> for me, this whole process has been really difficult. and today was easy. we just showed up and we did our thing. and it just gets more and more magical with every moment. >> i'm touched. i'm in awe. i -- i'm speechless. >> as for the barbecue reception they were dreaming of, what were once pictures on their pinterest board and nd-drawn maps sprung to life in jen's parents' backyard, and of course, their wedding planner, erica ota, was on hand with a walkie-talkie making sure everything went off without a hitch. they say they hope their pictures can some day provide inspiration for the next couple planning their dream wedding.

7:17 am
fault. >> we want to see how it varies as it moves across the fault. we want to see how it moves within the fault zone and how it moves here in the hills. >> here's a building that has served the community for a long time, and in its death is doing it again by sort of imaging the area around it. >> the hall would be located at this spot. >> usgs's scouring the neighborhood, signing up neighbors willing to host one of the seismographs. dodge was willing to oblige. >> i have a location that's a good view of the campus. you're welcome to it. >> he plans to watch warren haul crumble along with more than four decades worth of memories. in this case, the long memories shall long outlive the building. and that will be very interesting to see. rob mayeda is in the weather center with a forecast. it's going to be 234trusting to see how far those impacts are

7:27 am
and potential that exists within incarcerated settings all across america. >> they have made it out. >> today, i have a future. >> still, there's something that grounds them. more specifically, someone. >> the guys i left behind that are still at san quentin. >> they think of their brothers who alongside them graduated the last mile but not the prison system. >> i get emotional just thinking about it right now because there's some really, really good, solid men who deserve a chance to show. that's what motivates me. >> if you treat a man as he is, he will remain as he is. but if you treat a man as he can and should be, he will become as he can and should be. >> now, the last mile has been so successful, there are plans to expand to other state prisons in and out of california this fall. as for the guys at san quentin, we learned a fifth graduate of the program is set to walk free this week and there's already progress on getting his first
7:28 am
internship at a silicon valley start-up. >> and we'll be right back.

7:41 am
the cubs, the giants will be on their way to washington, d.c. for a date with the president. this is video, of course, from the last time the team visited the white house after winning the world series in 2011. president obama will honor the team tomorrow as a ceremony to celebrate their victory in last year's world series. the president will also honor the organization for its community service work. we know they do a lot of good deeds. >> the 49ers could have signed anywhere, but he chose a spot close to where he played college ball. he's competing for playing time in the 49ers backfield, and so far, so good. >> definitely a different culture, i think, the whole environment is a lot more positive, a lot more upbeat, a lot more optimistic. and it's true optimism. it's not like all the 32 teams in the league that just come in and say, well, this is the year.
7:42 am
we're going to win the super bowl this year. it's coming from a real place. >> and we're looking forward to watching that. now, from the plays on the field to the plays in politics, still ahead on today in the bay, two powerful california interest groups fighting over a 40-year-old law and serious consequences are in the balance. political analyst larry gerston joins us to explain next. what makes the sleep number store different?
7:43 am
you walk into a conventional mattress store, it's really not about you. they say, "well, if you wanted a firm bed you can lie on one of those. we provide the exact individualization that your body needs. oh, yeah! once you experience it, there's no going back. don't miss the final days of our summer closeout, for the biggest savings on all sleep number memory foam and iseries bed sets. only at the sleep number store, where queen mattresses start at just $699. sleep number. comfort individualized.
7:44 am
two powerful california interest groups are fighting over a 40-year-old law with serious consequences in the balance. political analyst larry gerston joins us. good morning to you first, larry. nice to see you. it's a fight about malpractice. >> yeah, malpractice awards. we don't think about this unless you get hurt. when you get hurt and someone is at fault, you hope there's some kind of compensation. fine, the current law signed by then-governor jerry brown, are you waiting for this, 1975,
7:45 am
governor jerry brown then, yes, back in 1975, amazing, right? limits a medical malpractice award for pain and sufferi ing more than $2 sdwift,050,000. that's regardless of what the injury is. $250,000. with inflation, $250,000 in 1975 equals $57,600 today. while we pay more for gasoline, groceries, clothing, just about everything else, medical malpractice limits have not changed. >> now, you know, those of us who just go to the doctor and hope to never have any sort of malpractice issue are stuck in the middle between these two sides, and they're very powerful. >> oh, my, are they. this is a boxing match between two political heavyweights. that's the only way to look at it. in one corner, the consumer activists, the trial lawyers, they contebd the old law should be changed to reflect inflation over the past 40 years.
7:46 am
which then at the $250,000 rate plus inflation would equal $1.1 million for annual adjustments for more inflation. in the other corner, if you will, the medical groups who counter that it would line the pockets of attorneys while driving up medical costs with virtually no benefits for those who need the dollars in medical malpractice suits. now, watching all this, the legislature has refused to touch the issue, so the consumers and attorneys are collecting initiative signatures for the november 2014 election. be prepared to hear much more about this issue between now and then because thee are two groups with very deep pockets. >> and that's the thing, that you could say why doesn't the legislature come up with a plan to address the issue? but as you said, there's a lot of money at stake and a lot of politicians need that money to run their campaigns. >> you would think the legislature deals with major public policy issues.
7:47 am
isn't that the reason we put them into office? but california is one of those states that allows people to propose new laws clething signatures of 5% of the people who voted in the previous state-wide election with executive officers on the ballot. so practically speaking, powerful interest pays $2 million to $3 million, you know guys at supermarkets who ask for your signatures, they get paid a few bucks for each one. to collect the signatures, put the issue on the ballot, and then, boom, we're off to the races. as to why the legislature ducks the issue, look, these policymakers receive lots of campaign contributions from attorneys, physicians groups, energy companies, business, labor, you name it. countless others. legislators aren't dummies. they're never going to admit this publicly, but their actions or in this case, inaction, if you will, amount to this. we can avoid the conflict if voters decide it. in the process, we can say we
7:48 am
left the decision to the people. well, voters may agree or disagree with this approach to governor, but you know what? the bottom line is we're going to have several issues like this between major groups on the ballot in 2014, all of which behooves us, the public, to do our homework because they're thorny issues with millions of dollar s thrown in each direction. >> we have heard a lot about a mayor who doesn't have anything to do with our city, a mayoral candidate, anthony weiner. just this morning, we learned his campaign manager, campaign director, has stepped aside. what do you think this says about his possible -- you know, he wants to win, and is that a likelihood? >> he wants to win. look, contrition goes a long way in politics. you screw up, you make a mistake, you say i'm sorry i did it, i'm not going to do it again, and go on with your life. we have seen so many politicians given a second chance. in the case of weiner, he's asking for a third chance.
