>> was it receptive? >> oh, they approached me. >> they approached you? >> right. they approached me and said, listen, if we can land this, how can we make things right to this family? >> reporter: he cautioned that doesn't mean frank mccore is off the hook entirely. the court has already ruled he could be sued for punitive damages in this lawsuit. >> would you take that to court or offer it in settlement? >> well, offering settlements to guys like mccore is kind of a waste of paper. >> reporter: girardi claims the unruly element at dodgers stadium is still there. >> no question, absolutely. we have great insight coverage. >> reporter: once the new owner cleans that up, he says, the stow family is willing to make a commercial, telling dodger fans to come on back. >> they would say, hey, listen, thanks, dodgers. >> a commercial saying come to the ball park? >> yeah, come on back. >> reporter: girardi says stow, who recently wrote his name, is facing $50 million in medical

but, how is that possible ing the very same we know the occupy movement

is receiving sizable donations to help keep the cause alive. but how is it possible without using the very same banking institutions that are the focus of much of the group's anger and frustration? allen martin takes a look at some small bay area companies custom made for this, and now international stands against corporate greed. >> reporter: just down highway 101, not that far from the protests, the strikes, and the encampment, walking arm in arm with the movement. >> we are the solution of choice. >> reporter: rich abram and his college roommates started we pay three years ago. >> i was collecting money for my brother's bachelor party, collecting this mix of cash and checks, using paypal for some of it. what i realized there really wasn't a simple tool to collect money online. >> reporter: that tool became we pay, which he admits is a for-profit company, as are many of the institutions occupy is

protesting against. but he says the difference is, as he puts it, we pay's focus on service and empathy with customers. something aapparently occupy can embrace. >> the original accounts in our system is september 17 event, set up in early august. >> reporter: after betting to check authenticity. >> a peaceful public protest in new york, said, okay, great, another donation campaign, passionate about something. we never imagined it would turn into such a large event. >> reporter: but then, occupy gained momentum and spread. so did word about we pay. >> we've seen at this point almost 400 occupy campaigns created. across those, 380, 400 have collected $400,000. it's not a single organizer collecting for a single occupy campaign. >> thank you for coming to occupy the future! >> it's democracyized system.

hey, i love this day! >> i'm not going to complain. you'll use that extra hour to get outside and buy a new jacket or a blanket or maybe a log for the fireplace, because it's going to be a cold one! all throughout the day, we'll see cold conditions, even showers as we make our way a little later on into the afternoon. it's pretty clear as you're stepping outside this morning. in fact, the lack of cloud cover in the bay area is keeping temperatures cool. we are seeing a few low clouds over the city, but for the most part, we're seeing very chilly conditions. maybe even more so than we thought last week. dropping several degrees compared to even two days ago. stepping outside, seeing plenty of 40-degree readings, even 30s in parts of the north bay. this afternoon, grab the umbrella. wet weather making its way into the bay, starting to finally feel like fall conditions still on the cool side, chance of showers across the board. definitely a wet afternoon in store. this all because of a system sitting to the north of us,

pacific northwest. you can see this moisture dropping down into the bay area around 2:00, 3:00 today. not going to see significant rainfall totals, but still a rainy event. take a look at future cast. you can see we start to see showers first in parts of the north bay, down into the santa cruz mountains at 4:00 in the afternoon, more widespread showers. into the evening, even seeing moderate cells through heyward and livermore, fairfield, also farther down into santa cruz. then we clear out, making our way into the evening hours, possibly remaining drizzle as we make our way into sunday. sunday's the day to get outside in the afternoon, because we will see wet weather in the afternoon today. rainfall totals, looking from a few tenths of an inch in san jose, close to half an inch in napa. that's all because of this low in the picture bringing wet weather for today, then a little lingering wet weather into tomorrow. cool today at 58. lake tahoe, only to 35. eureka to 52. cool temperatures in the bay as

selling propane, he's often helping oak dale police patrol events like festivals and farmers markets. joe pays for lobo's care and says his partner only costs taxpayers a dollar a year. with today's tight budget, the police chief is hard pressed to say nay. >> to have someone who has a full-time job, has a family, to say i'll come down and help and you commit my weekend to your rodeo, or we have a chocolate festival, to commit your weekend, it's incredible. >> reporter: joe and lobo inspired a second mounted patrol team at the oak dale police department. they have become town celebrities. starbucks gave lobo his own gold card, but as ambassadors for the police, there's no horsing around with the message. sergeant redd says joe inspires kids to steer clear of drugs and showing compassion. >> there's a lot of quality animals out there that need homes and all it takes is love and patience and they will make

we won't see clouds build in until later in the afternoon, but you're stepping outside this morning, still keeping it cold, in the 40s in many places, seeing frost out there, of course. then this afternoon, the wet weather returns. temperatures only sitting in the 50s at the coastline. very fall-like weather in store. future cast showing us showers, as early as 2:00 in the afternoon. light showers up into the north bay. by the time we hit your commute time, working on the weekend, i guess, you'll see more moderate cells in the north bay. more widespread showers. then we really see the rain hit. 8:00 tonight, fairfield, santa cruz mountains. then we clear out lingering showers into sunday morning and you know what that means in tahoe. wet weather, cold conditions. that means we'll see some snow above 4000 eat, 9 inches. above 6000 feet, as much as 15 inches. these are january and february conditions. in the bay area, chilly today.

61, for the high. santa rosa, only to 59 today. sunday, we'll see sunshine in the afternoon once we get through lingering showers. monday, we'll be dry. same for tuesday. clouds build in for wednesday. thursday, another chance of seeing showers here in the bay area. definitely keep that umbrella handy for the next several days. grab that sweater. it's going to be a cold one. >> love the wardrobe advice. thanks, kristy. this month, a bay area university formally installed its new president. that is dominican university was tapped for a influential role in the presidential debates. dr. mary marcy is the ninth president to hold the title here in the university's 122-year history of dominican. she joins us live this morning. thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> congratulations on your new appointment. you were inaugurated last week. >> i was inaugurated on saturday, presidential debates commission on monday, so it's been a busy week. >> certainly. first dominican was in the running to actually hold a presidential debate, which would have been huge.

>> yeah. >> didn't get that, but you'll play a major role. tell us about that. >> we're thrilled actually. i've had some fabulous conversations with the leadership of the commission on presidential debates. and what happened was they saw the gubernatorial debate last year. they were really impressed with how we handled it, not only handling the event, but what they were excited about was how engaged our students were and how engaged the community was. so the executive director said to me, we're starting to do a lot of things with emerging democracies, doing what we well in the united states, which is try to create an informed citizenry. in order to do that well, we have to have university partners. we've had conversations with them about partnering with commissions to basically export education and civil dialogue in the process of creating a democratic system. >> so that's the project that we're invited to do. we're very excited about it. we need to put finishing touches on it before we can do more formal announcements, but it seems to me a perfect fit.

we're really pleased. how do you think your students will benefit from something like this? >> the great thing about an institution like dominican and one of the things that really attracted me, we're small enough to have that very personal engagement you need in college when you first start out. at the same time, we're large enough to literally open the world. this will very specifically allow us to do that. i see our students talking to students in universities in emerging democracies about major issues in this country, major issues in that country, and the presidential debates are happening as the conversation is happening in realtime. i think in the process, they will get an exposure to how america is seeing the world, get a sense of how our policy issues may look different from abroad, and learning something about those countries that are also developing in democracies. >> you're obviously a big proponent of the liberal arts education. we've heard a lot of pushing more towards the science and tech field. what is your defense of going with the general liberal education? >> well, i think it's a false dichotomy to say you either have

a liberal education or you have something else. a liberal education is literally that, education that liberates, that frees the mind to explore all kinds of avenues. and our students have a firm grounding in liberal education. we also have one of the stronger science programs in the region, very strong business program, very strong education school, strong nursing program. what you can provide is a very strong grounding in the liberal arts. and then allow students to focus their skills based on their own interests and own capacity. liberal education opens the door so that students can find their own voice and own potential. and we provide that in a very concentrated way at dominican. >> well, congratulations and good luck with your tenure. thanks for being here this morning. >> thank you. an american packed hundreds of balloons and a lawn chair for a special trip over iraq. and eye on the bay's liam may mayclem has his edition of the food truck, coming up next.

are growing up right now surrounded by screens. >> good morning. do you read to your kids? did you hand over your iphone at the grocery store? if so, you're certainly not alone. a new study by common sense media called 0 to 8 shows media usage in america shows kids use screens an average of 2 1/2 hours a day. and reading? well, they do that, too, but not nearly as much as the other stuff. here are some of the key findings. first, little kids love digital. among 0 to 8-year-olds, a quarter of all screen time is on digital devices, like computers, video games, smartphones and tablets. second, books take a back seat to television. zero to 8-year-olds spend an average of 1 hour and 40 minutes per day watching tv and dvds, compared to only 29 minutes

reading or being read to. babies and toddlers spend more than twice as much time with tvs and dvds as they do with books. third, the digital device is actually growing. nearly three out of four zero to 8-year-olds have a computer at home, but access ranges from 48% among those in low income neighborhoods to 91% among higher income families. and fourth, there's a new app gap. among lower income children, 27% have a parent with a smartphone compared to nearly 57% for higher income children. what this common sense media report shows is that balancing kids' exposure with all of the other stuff they need is a big part of what it means to be a parent in the digital age. and it can help parents establish strong, helpful guidelines for their children. here's how. first, emphasize limits and balance. be sure to balance the types of media your kids are exposed to, and also be sure to balance the

time that kids spend using media with other activities that can foster their emotional, social, and physical development. second, make wise choices. quality counts as much as quantity. choose age-appropriate content that reinforces your family's values. check commonsense.org for reviews and recommendations. third, watch, play, read, and listen with your kids. don't underestimate the value of coviewing or cosurfing, especially in the early years, when it's crucial to sit with your kids and play, watch, sing along and interact with them. and finally, be sensitive to differences. i'm jim steyer. have a great weekend. and we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,, ♪ [ ukulele strumming ]
