the few people we talked to have come from the sacramento area. and so they are here for what's called the save the dream tour. the dream in this case is the american dream, their home. we have some footage here of previous events, this one in l.a. thousands of people typically show up to these things. the folks here will be sitting down with counselors who work for the nonprofit group neighborhood assistance corporation of america. here's how it works. they sit down and figure out how much they can pay and then walk over to banks and lenders in the same room and hopefully get their mortgages restructured right on the spot. the nonprofit group says often times get an approval rating from lenders of more than 50%. some interest rates are dropping down to even 2%. this event is called the save the dream tour. it's at the mcenery convention center in downtown san jose. it starts today, goes through wednesday, begins at 8:00 this morning and goes to 8:00 at night. the best part of all, it's free. so you can expect this line to

4:37 am
didn't pass a balanced budget by june 15 they weren't supposed to get paid. >> we clearly met the obligation to pass a balanced on-time budget. what's at issue is much more important than pay. >> republicans say the democrats passed the budget plan knowing it would likely be vetoed. state controller john chiang a democrat says his office will take a close look at the vetoed plan. if the proposed would not have balanced the budget -- if the proposal would not have balanced the budget, he won't pay lawmakers. a man will be arraigned today in connection with a deadly shooting at an oakland restaurant. 22-year-old clem thompkins is suspected of killing two and wounding four in april at the sweet jimmie's bar near jack london square. he was arrested wednesday in richmond. the shooting was believed to be the result of a botched robbery attempt. a suspected bay area serial killer kept a handwritten list of women's names according to

4:39 am
and that is more apparent today than yesterday. so we'll see more of that. cooling you off a few degrees for today but still very pleasant especially heading inland. breezy around the bay area, temperatures in the 50s. 82 concord. 83 fairfield. 60s and 70s at the bay. at the coast patchy fog so temperatures there in the 50s and 60s. we are going to sink down through saturday but by sunday high pressure begins to build in and temperatures warm up at least inland and then looks like here comes that sun again and temperatures soaring into the 90s as we head into the middle of the week, maybe hotter than we had a couple of days ago. how about that, elizabeth? >> that sounds great. [ laughter ] >> caught me. i'm focusing on muni, lawrence. trying to get the latest information. that's right. yeah. if you are a muni rider, expect delays this morning on the n- judah and j-church line. yesterday there were big problems and they are still

4:45 am
investors worry that a greek default on debt could seriously impact other european nations with debt problems like spain, portugal and ireland. europe consumes about 18% of the world's oil. and oil prices would likely drop if europe's economy stalls. police are going over photos and video from that wild riot in vancouver. >> they are planning to prosecute those involved in the violence that followed vancouver's loss to boston in the stanley cup finals on wednesday night. nearly 100 people were arrested in all. officers blamed the riots on anarchists who came from outside of the city. now, some of the rioters say they are sorry. hundreds of them have already written apologies on a wall in downtown vancouver. many of them returned to the area yesterday to help clean up the damage that was caused by them. different story in boston, though. they are pretty happy now. >> especially with the singing going on. >> that was in dallas, actually. that was dirk novitzky. >> i'm confused. sorry. 4:45.

4:56 am
more close friends, more social support and more trustworthy and more politically engaged. experts say they are not entirely sure why. they say it could be a result of interacting with large groups of friends in a diverse setting. either way, maybe we should all facebook more. >> we should. we do. sometimes too much. she interviewed everyone from the first lady to tom cruise but there is still one person oprah dreams of talking to even though she has no show. apparently it's o.j. simpson. >> oh,. >> that's a good one. the hollywood reporter says oprah told a cable industry group that she has a dream of o.j. confessing to her. it was 17 years ago today that simpson was arrested for murder following that infamous police chase in southern california. >> isn't o.j. in jail right now? >> he is. >> i think he is. >> a little incident he had in las vegas. he probably would like to be on the oprah show right now. time now 4:56. should you get paid for doing a
