in the meantime, back to the headlines. >> thank you. this morning, pg&e is fighting one of the key safety demands state regulators made after the san bruno blast. anne makovec with what pg&e warns could happen if it's forced to cut pipeline pressure. she joins us live in san francisco. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. speaking of pressure, the executives here at pg&e headquarters have been dealing with pressure from the state public utilities commission. one of the big questions right now that they are asking is what do you want to ris income convenience when it comes to safety? after the san bruno explosion last september, state regulators have been considering a slew of new rules for pg&e's gas lines. a few weeks ago the utility was ordered to produce records on all of its urban gas lines and records on roughly a third of those pipes are still missing. so the state is proposing pg&e reduce pressure on its older lines like the one that blew up in san bruno specifically the lines that have records that

are still missing. but pg&e is wanting to make clear this morning that a 20% cut in its so-called backbone pipes would cause a lot of problems for consumers, reducing the system's available gas by 67% according to pg&e and cause uncontrolled customer outages as well as pilot light problems alsoly. the gas storage options. several times a year they like to get more gas in and store it for tougher times and it could also cause electrical blackouts because many power plants actually run on gas. now, there are a lot of rules that the puc has put forth that pg&e has agreed to such as improving communication when it has problems, and when it's doing construction on lines, also installing some of those complete shutoff valves but some of these other rules specifically cutting the gas line pressure causing some

pause here at pg&e headquarters. frank. >> anne makovec live in san francisco. anne, thank you very much. oakland police are looking for suspects and a bullet- riddled car in connection with the city's latest homicide. a man was shot on international boulevard just after 8 p.m. last night. exactly what happened next is unclear. he was apparently driving himself to the hospital when he pulled up to an ambulance crew nearby. passengers reportedly pulled him out of the car and then sped off. the victim was later pronounced dead at highland hospital. and a man is in the hospital with life-threatening third-degree burns after catching fire inside a san francisco pornography store. officers across the street from the adult arcade saw the man run out in front of the pornography shop. the doors engulfed in flames last night. firefighters were just a block away and extinguished him. it's not clear how he caught fire. police say he had been watching videos in a private booth when it happened. the jury in the barry bonds

trial was able to agree on only one count against the former baseball star. after a 12-day trial, the jury deliberated for nearly four full days. it found barry bonds guilty of a single charge of obstruction of justice. a mistrial was declared on three perjury charges about using steroids and human growth hormone and lying to a grand jury about it. jurors had trouble believing some of the witnesses especially bonds' former girlfriend kimberly bell. >> she seemed to be attacking barry instead of just giving her own honest testimony. >> veally what we saw was enough inconsistencies in the story telling that we wondered who was telling the truth. >> the defense is asking the judge to throw out the guilty verdict. cbs 5's legal analyst says they may have a case. >> obstruction of justice charge is based on the perjury count. so that was the obstruction of justice that he lied. and if he was found not guilty

for lying, then there is no foundation to sustain the obstruction charges. >> it's not over yet. this case will be back in court may 20 for a hearing and to possibly schedule a sentencing date. we have complete coverage of the bonds verdict. it's on our website, including the raw interviews with those jurors. you will also find analysis on our sports page at cbssf.com. it is 4:36. stanford police are releasing a new description of a suspect that sexually assaulted a student this past weekend. he is described as a 30-year- old person, 5'6" with a chubby build and wavy black hair seen wearing bluejeans and a dark colored shirt. this all happened around 9:30 saturday night in the student housing unit on comstock circle. the man is believed to have snuck in through an unlocked door and assaulted a female graduate student while she slept. he fled when the victim fought him off. college students making

their case in sacramento. they are testifying about the impact of education cuts. about two dozen people staging a sit-in at san jose state university yesterday protesting cuts to the csu system. governor jerry brown wants to slash at least half a billion dollars on top of student fees which are going up 10% next year. governor brown himself may be in for a pay cut along with allstate elected officials. a citizen commission in charge of setting salaries will meet in burbank to discuss cost- cutting ideas. neglects to salaries, car allowances -- in addition to salaries, car allowances and other benefits could be reduced. the governor's salary is just under $174,000 a year. other statewide office holders make between $130,000 and $151,000. members of the state senate and assembly earn about $95,000 a year. legislative leaders like the assembly speaker make slightly more. it is 4:37. congress votes today on the spending plan to keep the

government running through september. the plan worked out by president obama and house speaker john boehner last friday calls for $38 billion in spending cuts. both the house and senate are expected to pass it today. today president obama will try to drum up support for his deficit cutting plan. the president wants to cut the deficit by $4 trillion over the next 12 years. he would trim healthcare costs in medicare and medicaid, cut defense spending and end many tax loopholes. the president blasted the republicans' counterproposal. >> nothing serious about a plan that claims to reduce the deficit by spending [ indiscernible ] >> we can't tax the very people that we expect to reinvest in our economy and to create jobs. >> the president is calling for congressional leaders to agree on a long-term plan by the end of june. 4:38. let's get a quick look at traffic and weather. if you are planning to head out the door this early in the morning, we are going to start

with lawrence to tell us what's happening outside. good morning. >> good morning. yeah, looks like it's going to be a pretty nice day outside. high pressure building in but this is what's interesting. you see that ridge building in the core of it will stay off the coastline. that means clouds will dump over the top of the ridge so we have some partly cloudy skies in the forecast for today. we'll see that on and off over the next couple of days and chance of showers in the north bay. out the door chilly, 39 in napa, 43 in concord, 43 fremont and 45 degrees right now in san jose. by the afternoon a mixed bag of sunshine and couple of clouds moving in. highs expected to be in the mid- 60s inland, lots of 60s inside the bay, 50s at the coast. the next couple of days, guess what, we've got some pretty nice weather. it will be interesting. you know, we are going to see a lot of these temperatures 70s inland. at the same time there is a slight chance we could see some light showers north of the golden gate bridge just about each day as you see a lot of those clouds dumping over the top of the ridge.

better chance for rain across the bay area toward monday. let's check traffic with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence. we'll go out live towards san jose. here's live look near the mckee exit. we have photographers standing by like we often do at this time of the morning. headlights are moving northbound and everything is looking great towards santa clara. let's go to the maps. we can talk about some overnight roadwork until 6 a.m. in san ramon. northbound and southbound 680 between alcosta and rudd gear road, various on-ramps in that area are also blocked until 6:00. guadalupee parkway, 101 traffic is great, same thing out of downtown san jose. in those northbound lanes of 280, you can see if you are continuing to drive up along the peninsula, everything is mostly green this morning. we do center some roadwork on the dumbarton bridge as well so we'll keep you updated on that.

in the meantime, back to you. >> thank you. the first flights will go out from sfo's new terminal 2 this morning. >> american airlines and virgin america will be housed in the terminal. there are more than 300 outlets for laptops. you can get a lot of business done there and there is also a play area for kids and water filling stations where passengers can fill up their empty water bottles before the flight. this project costs more than $380 million. we're going to have live report from that new terminal 2 coming up at 5:00. it is 4:41. new progress at japan's leaking nuclear plant. what police can now do for the first time since the quake. a battle over a burial ground why native americans are pleading with a city to spare their land. >> and three more air traffic controllers suspended for falling asleep. what the faa is doing to make sure it doesn't happen again. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

temperatures in the 60s outside this afternoon. we have more on the forecast coming up. hundreds of police officers are searching for bodies outside the fukushima dai-ichi. radiation levels have lowered to allow police to search areas closer to the plant with special protective suits. it's believed the area could contain the bodies of 1,000 missing people. a group of native americans is trying to stop the city of vallejo from bulldozing an an gent burial site. the ohlone sacred site is the final resting place for thousands of indians. tomorrow the city plans to break ground and build a park, parking lot and restrooms. >> to think it's okay to build a toilet on top of where people are buried... we think it's an outrage that they want to put a parking lot on top of where people are

buried. we're asking and pleading with them at a last-minute call, do not disturb this site. >> now, the city says it is not violating the civil rights of native americans because the ohlone tribe is not federally recognized. the search begins today for bart's new general manager. dorothy dugger resigned yesterday after 19 years on the job. the move was expected since february. that's when bart's board illegally voted to fire dugger without scheduling a public meeting. the board later had to rescind the vote. dugger will be paid almost a million dollars in severance. 4:45. mixed news in the housing market this morning. the lessing from reality track says between february and march the number of foreclosures rose 13%. that's the biggest month-to- month increase in a year. on the other hand the number of foreclosures in the 1st quarter of 2011 was 17% lower than the same period last year.

speech someone was caught apparently napping. >> i guess so. of all people his number 2 man seemed to doze off. take a look. vice president joe biden, hello, he appears to catch a little shut-eye. his eyes were closed for about 25 seconds. [ laughter ] >> i know the feeling. i know the feeling. so, you know, quo -- >> while your reading the story, i'm dozing off. it's early. >> someone who is bright eyed and bushy-tailed this morning, lawrence karnow has nice weather. >> that's how i feel right now. [ laughter ] >> working last night. >> yeah. no kidding. hey, at least the vice president wasn't drooling, huh? that would have been terrible. hey, folks, if you are headed out the door this morning, it is chilly in spots. 30s in some of the valleys. you have some clouds also moving in overhead. and all this is running right over the top of a ridge of high pressure outside. we are in for nicer weather toward the afternoon with a mixture of sunshine and clouds and the temperatures going to be warming up a good four to

six degrees above yesterday. so plan on moving well into the 60s some spots inland, 60s at the bay and at the coast, 50s, maybe some low 60s toward the afternoon. so that ridge of high pressure trying to build in behind that cold front that brought us some showers yesterday and here it is kind of a dirty ridge. a lot of that energy still running over the top of the ridge to bring you a few more clouds and occasionally there is a chance we could see some light showers in parts of the north bay. so a rather flat ridge that's making its way across the pacific. yes, we're going to be warmer in the 70s but occasionally moisture running over the top of the ridge brings more clouds and at least a slight chance of some showers mainly to the north. overall, though, we're look pretty good. this afternoon, 65 degrees in morgan hill, should be 66 in san jose, 64 fremont, cooler toward the coastline. let's plan on 50s and low 60s there. east bay partly cloudy skies with temperatures as high as 67 in brentwood for today. about 65 in pleasanton. 66 degrees in concord. our friends in the north bay

should expect cool start to the day but then as we head toward the afternoon, the temperatures going to warm up nicely. about 67 degrees in napa, 65 in santa rosa and 62 degrees in san anselmo. so looking out over the next few days, yup, we have some warmer weather on the way and yes, there still is a slight chance that we could see some showers mainly to our north. it looks like we head in toward the weekend going to hold on to that ridge as well but by monday i think a better chance of some showers alls across the board around the bay area. all right. time for a traffic check with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence. let's go out towards the dumbarton bridge. we have some more overnight roadwork here, as well. this morning just in the eastbound lanes of 84 heading up towards the high-rise various lanes blocked right now. westbound 84 if you are heading towards the toll plaza traffic looks great. i realize it's a little difficult to see that shot this time of the morning. all right. more roadwork this time in san ramon. i had mentioned this a little earlier. northbound and southbound 680, both directions, we have various lanes blocked until 6:00 this morning from that stretch between alcosta and

rudgear road. various on- and off-ramps across that stretch are also blocked until about 6:00. all right. san mateo bridge, here's live look. westbound traffic on 92 that's the right side of your screen. those taillights are heading towards the peninsula. quick trip this morning all the way towards foster city. the ride coming out of the altamont pass great so far. 13 minutes out towards 680 and the dublin interchange. really seeing top speeds all the way into pleasanton towards hopyard. marin county not much roadwork, southbound 101 nice flow of traffic all the way down towards the golden gate bridge. they have not done the lane change yet. give it another couple of minutes. drive time southbound 101, eight minutes, so not too bad, between highway 37 and 580 in san raphael. and for your silicon valley commute, westbound 237 if you are leaving milpitas here's a live look coming around that bend. that is westbound 237 towards san jose. mass transit off to a great start, as well. bart has about 20-something trains right now running on

time. ace, muni metro and caltrain also look good. and, of course, be sure to remember kcbs, our radio partners, at 106.9-fm. 740-am and 106.9 fm. back to you. >> thank you. signs of alzheimer's disease may appear up to 10 years before the illness is diagnosed. that's according to harvard researchers who performed brain scans on more than 60 people. they measured brain size and areas believed related to alzheimer's. scientists say if their research pans out it could lead to new information on autism and depression. well, first you may remember that 15-month-old who was accidentally served a margarita? well, now another tipsy toddler at a family restaurant. different drink though. this time at olive garden in lakeland florida. last month the 3-year-old was accidentally served sangria instead of orange juice. sangria is a mixed drink of orange juice, pineapple juice and white wine. the boy's mom said it took 30 minutes for her to realize

something was wrong. >> he was acting up. he was misbehaving. his eyes were bloodshot. how can you be so disorganized that alcoholic beverages could even get into a kid's cup that you wouldn't know the difference? >> the boy was taken to the hospital. he checked out fine. the restaurant apologize. it's unclear if the mother plans to suit but she has a lawyer. >> i saw this one coming a mile away. that case was only made public, you know, after the kid in michigan was accidentally served a margarita mix at applebee's. now those parents do plan to suit restaurant. the suit claims emotional distress and seeks monetary damages for medical bills and noneconomic losses. that little boy had a blood alcohol tenth of .10. his family said -- content of .10. the family said he had a hangover for days after the incident.

it is 4:55. nba star kobe bryant will have to put his money where his mouth is for an antigay slur. it was caught on live tv. the league fined him $100,000 for directing the comment toward a ref during a game on tuesday night. the ref had just given bryant a technical foul. lakers guard did apologize though for that slur. >> you know, you have to own up and take responsibility for it. i said the comment. we use so many kinds of words throughout the course of the game, it doesn't mean that you actually mean what you're saying at that particular time but it's a way to vent. >> bryant also spoke directly with the human rights campaign, which has criticized him. the group applauded him for t apology. he plans to appeal the fine. close game between the giants and dodgers. this is their m.o. the old torture victory but a win is a win. the game was tied up in the 6th

inning when aaron miles doubled putting the dodgers on top 3-2 but the giants came back, bottom of the 6th with a pair of solo home runs from pablo sandoval and mike fontenot. giants win 4-3. nice. it is 4:57. new clues in a sexual assault on the stanford campus. what police are releasing about the suspect, plus. everybody is interested in safety when it comes to natural gas pipelines. but when it comes to new rules, pg&e proposes a sort of cost- benefit analysis. we'll explain coming up. and we're live here at sfo's brand-newly renovated terminal 2. the first flights are getting set to take off. i'm kiet do with a live report coming up. and the verdict is in. so what's next for barry bonds? what kept the jurors from agreeing on all counts and why the defense could have everything thrown out.
