does it? >> no, not at all! it's not just a little bit. it's a lot of rain. >> we're looking at long-time records possibly falling here today, as we take a look outside, finding rain spreading throughout the bay area today. rather well-formed frontal system for this time of year, bringing, dare i say, copious amounts of rain into the bay as of about 5:00 a.m. this morning, half of an inch of rain fallen across the bay area. for most locations, a little more, of course. up in the highcountry, taking a quick look at rainfall records for june in san francisco for this date, the record is 0.49 inches. as of 4:00 a.m. in downtown, we had 0.40, so that will likely fall. notice the dates on these old records. monthly rainfall record for june, 2.57 set back in 1884. that one's been on the books a long time. not sure that's at risk yet, but we do have a very wet weekend pattern shaping up,

fire. he's 53 years old, also a paramedic. he's still in critical condition this morning at san francisco general with severe burns and his lungs are damaged from all of the smoke. years ago, another san francisco firefighter survived similar injuries. melanie sapper was caught in a fire back in 1995. the oxygen was so hot that it burned her lungs. she was also burned over 40% of her body and suffered brain damage that caused partial blindness. sapper says since thursday, she has not stopped thinking about firefighter anthony valero. >> i always like to let them know that i do have empathy and there is somebody there who totally understands what it's like, understands what it's like to be there. >> and survive. >> yeah. you know, it's a long haul. it's a long haul for people around me, too. >> she spent nearly three months on life support, but she was finally released from the hospital after four months. then she had to undergo speech therapy and relearn simple things like getting into bed and putting on clothes.

funeral services for lieutenant perez may be held next week, but the fire department tells us nothing has been finalized yet. meantime, the san francisco's firefighters union has established trust funds for the families of both lieutenant perez and firefighter paramedic valero. you can find a link and more information on our website, cbssf.com. you're looking at a previous ride. tomorrow's ride begins in the morning, traveling more than 500 miles over seven days from san francisco to los angeles. the week-long jaunt is an effort to raise money for hiv and aids services, and coming on the 30th anniversary of the start of the aids pandemic in the u.s. police have no suspects and no arrests have been made in the case of missing nursing student michelle lee. it has been a week since she left her classroom and never came back.

5000 jobs in may. >> what does this mean for job growth, then? >> it means it's easing again. >> we're not going to return to a quarter million jobs a month? >> that's not going to happen any time soon. >> reporter: the number of people out of work more than six months is growing again, too, to more than 6 million. that's 45% of the unemployed. melissa barone is on that list. when the couple was out of work, they lost their health insurance and their house. >> started kind of panicking and thinking, you know, really thinking outside the box. what are we going to do? what can we do? last resort, we're going to live in our cars. >> reporter: they have had to move in with michael's mother. >> i'm 44 years old and i'm having to move back in with my mom. that's a big hit. >> reporter: melissa, who worked for the government, is now studying to be a nurse. in these tough years, they say all that saved them were their unemployment checks. >> unemployment benefits have

jim bernard, thank you. . 13 minutes after 8:00, and i was looking at the radar earlier, very brightly lit up. not a good sight for saturday morning. >> it's june, after all. this is a bit unusual, not out of the question or unheard of. but as you saw earlier in our record that stands for this date, some of them go back to the gold rush days that we're looking at some long-time records threatened this month. we take a look at our high-

definition doppler, we'll see again it's -- we'll look outside first to see what's out the window, which looks to be cloudy and wet no matter where you go. south bay, it's raining there, too. most of the energy right now is moving through the bay area to the south. so we will continue with the showers. well, rain this morning, turning to showers this afternoon. by tomorrow, we'll see the possibility of isolated thunderstorms, as the colder air moves in. here you see the overall picture of this frontal boundary crossing through central california. as we zoom in on a high- definition doppler radar, boom, all lit up this morning, with moderate to heavy returns popping up throughout the bay area. out over the east bay hills and along the shoreline. there's more to come here through the morning hours, which would be all of this energy you're looking at right here. again, that will slowly be moving to the southeast through the day, but lingering across the mountains and throughout the bay area into monday. we'll see the rain taper off, but still a threat of showers will be with us into the beginning of the week.

planner this afternoon shows mostly cloudy, rain showers throughout the day. temperatures will be cooler as a result of the clouds and rain. mid to upper 60s inland. mid to low 60s around the bay. and upper 50s, low 60s out on the beach, with pretty good rainfall amounts. very well formed system for this time of year. typically, we're just looking at little ripples, as we have been the last few months, bringing drizzle shower activity to the region. obviously this is more than that, as the low pressure system is centered just off the golden gate and it will wobble around out here through tomorrow, into the beginning of the week. it is expected to move to the south and cross big sur, monterrey, down there, which is where we can expect most the rainfall to materialize. we will be on the northern edge of that, however, and we will see showers on and off with scattered thunderstorm potential beginning late tonight, into and through tomorrow. today, the rain will turn to showers this afternoon. we'll hang on to the clouds and

look for that thunderstorm development possible late this evening, into tomorrow, again, as the cooler air moves into the area. here you see the areas, which will pick up the most rainfall, as you would expect, north bay hills and down around the santa cruz mountains. looking for somewhere in the range of three quarters of an inch in the south bay, inch across the peninsula. this is a two-day total. inch and a half in the mountains to the north. 2 to 4 inches in the santa cruz mountains. this will be productive rain- maker for the bay area. snow level above 8000 feet in the highcountry with showers up there, too. rain and snow right on into the beginning of the week. taking a look at temperatures for today, mid to upper 60s, out to the far east. cooling back to the bay, mid to low 60s there. and upper 50s expected along the shoreline. taking a look at our seven-day forecast here, it is looking like a soggy weekend here, again, rain turning to showers this afternoon. potential thunderstorms and more widely scattered showers for tomorrow and monday.

finally, come tuesday, we'll dry it out completely and hopefully hang on to that trend through the end of the week, into next weekend, with temperatures back to where they ought to be for this time of year. that would be pushing the 80s. meantime, keep the rain gear on, as we've got more to come. >> thanks, jim. military scholars in china reacting to allegations of computer hacking. google says hackers from china broke into the gmail accounts of several hundred people, including u.s. government officials. today an article in the communist party newspaper says china must defend its, quote, sovereignty. the authors from the academy of military sciences cite the role in internet in the uprising in the arab world, which traces back to washington. one good defense against hackers is a good password. jim steyer with common sense media joining us with more,

plus what parents can expect with kids at the box office this morning. good morning, jim. >> hi, anne. >> thanks for joining us. the phishing scandal with google, that hit close to home. >> one of my students at stanford is a tibetan activist, well known, and she has now had her account hacked twice by the chinese government. this is a big deal. in her case, she's a political activist, a young woman, but well known political activist internationally. and so what happens is, you know, the government in this case is actually hacking gmail accounts in order to find out sensitive, confidential information. what this means to you as a parent is you've got to be aware of password creation, right? >> right, china isn't trying to hack into the accounts of many of our kids, but it's something to keep in mind. >> but other people are! anthony wiener this week had his twitter account hacked. so you need to be very careful with e-mails that come to you that appear to be from someone

who they are not. that's the other thing. so there's a lot of stuff that goes out there. it shows you again the whole new world that we live in today, with the internet and with cell phones, where people can obtain your private information without your permission. this is something where you just have to educate yourself. go to common sense.org, where we have a lot of information about how to prevent hacking. strong password creation and being suspicious of e-mails that somehow don't feel right are two very basic ways to be protective of that. now, turning to another subject- - >> let's talk about-- >> how about the weather? jim! go to the movies today! this will be a boon for summer -- jim planned this so summer movies would be really popular now. but when it's raining, all these great kids movies are going to be out there. >> let's talk about some of them. judy moody and the not bummer summer, sounds like a kids summer. safe for kids? >> yeah, sure it is. this is -- judy moody, you're talking about a movie that's really for kids 5, 6 and up,

kids who saw last year's beezus and ramona will want to see this one, too. very popular book series, which we like at common sense, because your kid can watch the book, in addition to watching the movie. >> what do you think first, movie or book first? >> reading is the number one thing you can do with your kids, but if they happen to watch the movie first, have them go read the book. it's really good. talking about harry potter later summer, one of the greatest book series in all time for kids and the movies are great. let's talk about green lantern, rated pg 13. >> yeah, going to be a big one. you have the star ryan reynolds and blake lively of gossip girl, so tweeness are going to want to see this, especially if they are comic book fans. superhero action violence, but we don't expect there to be much sexual content or too much violence. ryan reynolds, the star of the movie, very popular with a broad array of tween and teen kids. so this is likely to be

popular, the green lantern. i think you're going to see a lot of kids wanting to go to this. remember, there's superhero violence, one thing that you as a parent need to understand when you let your kids choose to see a movie or not. some of them are scared by these movies, no question. speaking of scary, harry potter, lot of people think it's child's play, but i honestly was creeped out by the first harry potter and i haven't seen the rest of them! >> and you start to see -- you know, look, this is going to be the edgiest, scariest, darkest harry potter ever. these are great movies. look, these are really terrific movies and it's a fabulous book series, but you do not necessarily want your younger -- this is a teen movie. it's going to be rated pg-13, going to be the scariest ever harry potter. >> look at that guy! >> as a parent, you'll really have very mature themes, because harry's growing up, and then as a parent, you need to be thoughtful about take -- i think harry potter's a great example of a movie where some

of your younger kids who like the series are going to say to you, hey, mom, dad, can i go to this movie? if they are younger and you think it's a little too dark or mature for them, you can always say let's wait till it comes out on dvd. remember, the experience of watching a dvd in your home with your kids is very different than in the movie theater. >> right. you can talk over it! >> and to deal with the edgier movies, harry potter, green lantern might be for younger kids as well, you can always watch it on tv. commonsense.org is there. find out what's in there for your kids. when it's raining like jim bernard keeps doing, all you can do is go to the movies and hope that the giants-rockies game is not rained out today! >> okay. >> there's great movies. this is a time when it's a great time for movies. >> blockbuster time. >> it is indeed. >> thanks for all the great insight, jim steyer, common

of year, which, as you can see, go way back. the monthly total, which i'm not sure we'll eclipse for june, is it .57, set back in 1884. the daily amount of rain record was set in 1967. 1.34. and the record for this date, 0.49 inches in downtown san francisco, set back in 1934. i suspect those were probably la nina years, but i haven't checked the records. they typically produce a lot of rainfall on the west coast, with cool temperatures continuing into the spring, while the desert southwest as we saw earlier looks like a drought and hire fire danger, we continue to be on the soggy side. we'll have the rest of the details, coming up in the complete forecast in a few minutes. topping our news this morning, investigators looking into exactly what happened when a san francisco firefighter died in the line of duty this week. doctors continue to watch over another firefighter who was

taking a look at the rest of the forecast for you here, looks like this system will again, the brunt crossing the coast now with most of the clouds and rain. but as i mentioned, the center of circulation lingers in the offshore waters, sitting there for another day or so before it finally crosses the coastline and moves off to the east. there you can see it well formed there. that will be the thunderstorm producer, as the colder air combines for the center of circulation. we'll look for the rain to turn to showers this afternoon, scattered thunderstorms will arrive with the center here through tomorrow and into monday. that should spread the showers out a bit, but we'll still hang on to the threat into early next week. looks like it will probably cross monterrey bay, santa cruz southward, where i would expect most of the moisture to fall. and of course that will leave 2 to 4 inches of rain in the santa cruz mountains. about an inch across the bay area. a little more than that in the north bay hills, as you would expect. but basically this is a very productive rain maker for this time of year. snow levels up at 8000 feet or

higher. mix of rain and snow in the tahoe basin. we'll look at the thunderstorm potential into the beginning of the week. as you would expect with the clouds and rain, temperatures a little cooler today. mid to upper 60s for the warmer locations. mid to low 60s back towards the bay and upper 50s at the beach, as we continue well below normal for this time of year, with the threat of rain and possible thunderstorm activity hanging in there and through the beginning of the week. then we dry things out and warm it back up to near normal, as we'll be looking at upper 70s here by the end of the week, dare i say possible 80s showing up as well. of course the big question for this afternoon is the giants game at 1:00 start, and we will be looking at rain turning to showers, with cool temperatures. it's going to be a close call. better chance of that game going off tomorrow, as we'll see less rain in the area. again, let's hope the diamond drains well, because it is wet this morning. >> they are not used to having

to contend with this weather. >> not typical june weather. >> thanks, jim. the space shuttle challenger disaster 25 years ago, we all remember that. took with it teacher christa mccollough's dream of a field trip. we have a closer look at one of the first teachers chosen by nasa for its in-flight infrared astronomy project. >> i need someone to volunteer to hold the mirrors. >> reporter: the field trip in this instance is for the teacher. with the idea she'll bring it back to her classroom after flying aboard nasa's soviet 747. >> sophia is a low-flying space telescope that comes home every morning, better than a mountain top observatory in terms of its clarity, its ability to observe celestial objects, and it's much less expensive and much

more convenient than a telescope. >> reporter: nasa's invited six teach stories fly with sciences on research trips this month. maria barrett of branham high school is one of the chosen few. >> wouldn't it be great if i was on that flight when we discovered a new star? >> you'll be waving at them. >> maybe discover evidence there might be a star with planets orbiting around it that could be like our earth. >> reporter: the specially redesigned plane flies 45,000 feet above most of the water in our earth's atmosphere. >> rollback door over the opening, same size telescope as hubble. >> reporter: on-board telescope uses infrared light to study stars, comets, even black holes. >> we have evidence when teachers have research experience, that it improves their career trajectory, their retention, their morale, their students have better test scores and participation in science fairs. >> reporter: maria's previous internship at nasa aims, along

with huge enthusiasm for the project, help heroin a spot. she hopes to inspire more women and minorities to think about teaching and science as possible careers. >> certainly nasa had to be concerned of the whole teacher in space thing, the space shuttle, and, you know, they went through all the steps. does that concern you at all? >> you know what? it never crossed my mind, about in the event something goes on, it's a plane, i've been on a plane before. it is exciting. it's definitely higher than i've ever flown on any plane before. >> reporter: nasa gave careful consideration to putting teachers aboard its latest project. >> the whole issue of the teacher in space and this isn't the shuttle, by any means, but you had to be sensitive about that subject when you started talking about this program, didn't you? >> absolutely. nasa's very sensitive now about issues of people being on board the shuttle and other facilities who are not astronauts. what we've done is rigorous testing, test flights, with just test pilots on board and

so on. >> reporter: the sofia project is based on another flying observatory called kuiper flown from 1975 to 1995, and completed 1400 flights. maria barrett's flight took off last night and will land this morning. if you have a story that deserves a closer look, go to cbssf.com. click the connect button at the top of the page, then closer look. i'm alan martin. >> an amazing story to tell. animal shelters and rescue groups getting a huge boost from an alameda-based group this weekend. dogs like this one who you see will find homes today, thanks to maddie's adopt a-thon, special campaign helping older animals with medical issues as well, coming up next. disasters you can't avoid,ome there is one you can. septic system breakdowns affect 1.2 million homes in the us each year. septic backups can cost about six thousand dollars in expense, and countless hours of repair.

rainfall amount of 1.34 set in 1967, and the date for today, or the record for this date is 0.49 inches in downtown san francisco and we saw 0.4 as of 5:00 a.m. this morning. so that one's likely to fall. again, you'll note that 1934, those records go back quite a ways. 1934 is one of those years we had record tornadic outbreaks in the midwest, like this year. i suspect it was probably an la nina, opposite of el nino year, but those records only go back to 1950, so we can't clarify that one. nonetheless, what it means for you out the door, cloudy, wet and cool through the weekend. i'll have more details coming up in a few minutes. >> thanks, jim. 9:01. new this morning, police in oakley investigating how a 21- year-old man ended up shot to death outside of a middle school. his body was found at around 4:00 this morning at a philip park middle school at o'hara avenue and covered wagon road.

angeles. the week-long jaunt is an effort to raise money for hiv and aids services, and of course coming on the 30th anniversary of the start of the aids pandemic in the u.s. it has been more than one week since nursing student michelle lee disappeared. last night, her friends and family held a vigil in heyward at the site where her empty car was found about half mile away from kaiser medical center, where she was last seen leaving class. >> she is somebody's daughter, she is somebody's sister, she is somebody's friend-- >> she means everything, everything. i just keep saying to myself, what am i going to do without her, you know? >> police say her cell phone was transmitting signals until midday saturday last week. the man police say beat brian stow into a coma will be in jail for at least a few more weeks. a parole board dismissed parole violation against this guy,

giovanni ramirez for the stow attack. they cited a lack of evidence. the parole violation is separate from the l.a.p.d. investigation. police are still holding him on a weapons charge. thursday, ramirez' 10-year-old daughter told police that her father was with her when the attack happened. >> my reaction, she was very upset when she saw the newscast, and she was, like, mom, can i talk to them and let them know my dad was not there, he was with me, sleeping all day. >> ramirez will remain in jail for that weapons charge and l.a. police say they have proof ramirez was at the stadium the night of the beating, but they say they cannot reveal that evidence yet. new developments in the first homicide of the year in lapides. officers arrested one person on suspicion of killing a man earlier this week. it was on monday that 43-year- old alfredo rodriguez was found with a gunshot wound. he was then pronounced dead at the hospital. police are now holding the suspect on an unrelated charge.

more than 100 san jose police officers get to keep their jobs, looks like, as the result of a tentative deal between the city and the police union. it calls for a 10% pay cut to prevent the layoffs of 156 officers and to help close san jose's $115 million budget deficit. that means up to $400 out of a cop's paycheck every month. >> it's a good deal in a sense that, one, it allows us to avoid the additional layoffs of 156 of our fellow officers. two, it's a good, it's good for the community. >> also announced yesterday, san jose got a federal grant that will allow the city to restore 49 firefighter jobs that were cut last year. religious leaders stunned by a neukomic book. there's a superhero, but it is the villain that's causing an uproar. >> reporter: you've heard of batman, spider-man, and of course superman.

league feels the comic is antisemitic. >> they show stereo typical orthodox jews as evil in their facial features, as blood thirsty, as determined to try to do harm to this innocent child. >> reporter: she feels the most offensive part of the comic is the monster moil character. >> some of his fingers in a couple of the panels even look to have sort of claws on them, as there is even spit coming out of her mouth at one point. it spends the message that jews and muslims are deliberately harming their children, which certainly we are not. >> reporter: other circumcision critics say that's exactly what they are doing. >> i think it gives a viewpoint as anyone would have if they were being held down and had their genitals cut off. >> reporter: elizabeth cook,

cbs 5. >> of course san francisco voters will get the chance to make their own decision on the male circumcision this november. supporters are not shying away from controversy, especially if it helps keep their cause in the headlines. defense secretary robert gates in afghanistan now, on a surprise visit. he's meeting with marines and soldiers, also planning to hold talks with president hamid karzai. the afghan leader has been vocal lately about civilian deaths by airstrikes. he promised wider u.s. military presence in asia. this is gates' last overseas trip before stepping down from his post on june 30. around here, top story certainly the weather. the rain came down all night and it's going to continue all day. >> looks like on and off through the weekend, as we are looking at a very atypical, active, wet pattern for the bay. cloudy, wet and cool right on through the weekend.

that also messes up the golf game. but looks like you can make other plans. looking outside today, there will be space between the drops this afternoon. this morning it's been pretty consistent, with moderate rainfall being reported in and around the bay area. we've still got a line of moderate showers along the shore that will cross the region through the next hour or two, as we see this frontal system is pretty much centered on central california. it will be sliding south here through the next 24 hours. the center of circulation just off the golden gate, moving south, crossing down around monterrey. taking a little closer look at the radar returns, on our live high-definition doppler, here's the moderate to heavy returns just now coming ashore. so for the next couple hours, we'll be looking at this energy crossing through the bay area and it will be wet, to say the least here, as we continue to pick up measurable rainfall throughout the bay this morning. mostly cloudy, rain turning to showers this afternoon, a few

more spaces between drops, by mid afternoon, same scenario across the coast, with temperatures on the cool side today, for the warmer locations, talking mid to upper 60s for daytime highs, as this well-formed frontal boundary, atypical for this time of year. nonetheless, there it is. it will be sliding south along the coast here, and the rain will be tapering off, but lingering into the beginning of the week, where we'll be looking at a chance of thunderstorm development as the cooler air associated with the center crosses tomorrow into monday. so again, the rain will wind down this afternoon, turning to scattered showers, with the threat of some thunderstorms in there for tomorrow and monday, continuing the cool trend across the bay. cool and intermittently wet, as we see the two-day totals for rainfall showing the greatest returns over the mountains to the north and south, as well as into the valley, as you would expect anywhere from around an inch or just less than this in the bay area, to 2 to 4-inches

in the mountains. not your typical june rainfall expectations. not unheard of, just rather rare. as we see the snow level in the highcountry quite high, up above 8000 feet, a mix of rain and snow there, with potential for thunderstorms as well into early next week. then we dry it all out by tuesday, as we look for a warmer pattern for next week. continued cool this weekend. mid to upper 60s for the warmer spots, as we'll look for mid to low 60s back at the bay. upper 50s, low 60s at the beach. as mentioned, it will be drying out and warming up here from midweek on, as we see a return to more typical temperatures for this time of year. that will put us into the upper 70s, low 80s for next weekend. until then, cloudy, cool, and wet is the forecast here for the weekend, into the beginning of the week. and again, we're looking at the brunt of it right now. we will look for the rainfall amounts and the rainfall itself to taper off through the afternoon. will it be in time for the giants game? i don't know. we should ask jim steyer that

this afternoon. he likes to make predictions. it will be close, as it will slowly taper off this afternoon. tomorrow looks better for the game than today. >> okay, so if you're heading out-- >> raincoats and umbrellas today, definitely. >> sturdy hoods. >> that, too. >> jim, thanks. this weekend marks the 30th anniversary of aids. this week, san francisco advocates launched a new effort to help prevent the disease. more than a dozen organizations have joined together to create the 30 aids campaign. over the next year, they are encouraging people to help fight the disease by donating $30, or volunteering for 30 minutes, or just telling 30 people about the campaign. tomorrow will mark exactly 30 years since the first aids cases were reported. this weekend, thousands of men and women will hit the road for an annual ride that raises awareness and funds for hiv and aids treatment. today is orientation day for the aids lifecycle ride. for more on the ride to end

aids, neil giuliani joins us live from the cow palace. neil, good morning. >> good morning. >> the first obvious question, how is the rain going to affect your ride? >> well, we're watching it vo closely. the main concern is the concern of our 500 riders, 600 volunteers. hopefully by tomorrow morning at 6:00, we'll see a break in the scattered showers and we'll head towards santa cruz. we'll make that call tomorrow morning. >> okay, very good. now, today i know you're at the cow palace, having preliminary sign-up events. what is going on there today before the race starts tomorrow morning? >> people are coming in and getting their bikes in the right place for tomorrow morning, going through orientation with regard to safety. there's a mandatory 30-minute session that everyone must sit through to learn about all the safety and precautions while they are on the road. they are also getting tent assignments, camp assignments, all the information they need.

we are creating a 3100-city or road moving down the coast over the next week. there's a lot of logistics to plan for. >> certainly, that's all about cycling. what it's all really about is aids. the 30th anniversary. talk a little bit, if you can, about how people's perspective has changed on aids over the last 30 years. at the beginning, it was known as a death sentence. today, people have a lot of hope. >> right. well, 30 years ago, there wasn't a lot of hope, especially here in san francisco, which is the first city that reached epidemic status with regard to the disease. now there is hope. there's treatment for people to allow them to lead healthy, full, productive lives. in san francisco, there are two new infections a day, and that's too many. we want everyone to get tested, everyone to know their status. we want people who are positive to get into care. we want people to be able to take care of themselves and remember while this is a manageable disease in 2011, it's still not something you want to have and we want to do

everything to prevent new infections. >> and how have relationships changed in comparison to 30 years ago? >> well, hiv in the very beginning, people thought they were going to die right away. of course that's no longer the case. that's very, very good news. now, we have people being open about their status. that's very important, because stigma is still a very important part of this disease and the broader community at large still needs to be educated about hiv and aids. so something like aids lifecycle, which will travel all the way down the coast, through towns, cities, and come across all sorts of folks along the way, is a great way to build awareness and help people understand more about hiv/aids 30 years after it started. >> i think awareness is really important. you see it kind of as a catch- 22, where people see hope with the disease, there's less fear, and that people might slip up a bit when it comes to prevention measures. >> well, that's why our prevention measures and our awareness is very important, especially with young people, who may not remember 30 years

ago, in those early years when people were dying so quickly. so the awareness is very important. it's why we have outreach programs with young people, why we're working in communities of color, while we still have our very successful clinic right in the middle of the castro. by and large, especially here in san francisco, we have to communicate very strongly to the gay population about hiv and aids and help them understand what they need to understand to protect themselves and keep themselves from getting infected. and take care of themselves if they are hiv positive. >> neil giuliani with the san francisco aids foundation. we hope the weather does not create problems for you, and have a good right. >> thank you very much. and we invite you to watch hank plant's series, aids at 30, a half-hour special produced in cooperation with the san francisco aids foundation. that is airing tonight at 7:00 p.m. again, sunday at 5:00 p.m., right here on cbs 5. today's liam's list looks at a love letter to san francisco. we have a sneak peek at the new tales of the city musical,
