you can see these are live pictures as we speak. that's why it's moving around like that. this day of action includes a march over bridges and plans to "occupy" the city's subway system. that's going to be a mess. two days ago new york authorities cleared out the camp where the protests began. faculty is going on strike this morning at cal state east bay, dominguez hills in southern california also. the one day walkout is to protest negotiated raises that have not yet been delivered. the strike comes a day after the csu trustees voted implement the ninth tuition increase in nine years. police and protestors fault outside the trustees meeting -- fought outside the trustees meeting in long beach. one officer was sent to the hospital, four protestors arrested. with the increase basic tuition will be almost $6,000 next fall and there is a $1,000 fee that raises next year total to $7,017. some students at sonoma state university in rohnert

former employee made a few years ago. travis was an undergraduate transfer student from fremont. tuesday, officers responded to a computer lab after a staff worker saw a gun in travis' backpack. an officer fired at him after he refused to drop the gun. travis' uncle believes police were too quick to act. >> if they did ask him for the guns, i can see him reaching in the bag and grabbing it by the handle and you know, going like that and to hand it to them. i can just see him doing that. and not even thinking, you know, by grabbing it by the barrel and handing it to them. >> witnesses say they saw travis acting strangely in the last few weeks. surveillance video of the incident has been handed over for the investigation. and for the first time in yearsings the fbi now says they have a lead on an animal rights activist wanted for two bombs in the east bay. daniel san diego was apparently

minutes. in the meantime a man suspected of shooting at the white house is due in federal court this afternoon. 21-year-old oscar romero ortega hernandez from idaho was arrested at a hotel in pennsylvania yesterday. he is accused of firing an assault rifle at the white house on friday. authorities say he was apparently obsessed with president obama and felt he was on a mission from god to attack the white house. 4:47. a pennsylvania lawyer says his client will testify that he was sexually assaulted by jerry sandusky, a former assistant football coach at penn state. now, the attorney says he expects other sandusky accusers to come forward, as well. sandusky is accused of sexually abusing eight boys. others have stepped forward, as well. the mother of one alleged victim says her son's school questioned the boy after she complained about sandusky actually taking him out of class without her permission. she spoke by phone with her

voice altered to cnn. >> i three times called the police right now and they said no, you need to think about -- they said i needed to think about the ramifications of what would happen if i did that. >> what do you think they meant by that? >> i don't know. i'm assuming what we're going through now. i don't really know. >> sandusky is awaiting a preliminary hearing next month on 40 criminal counts. police say they have no records that indicate mike mcqueary contacted them with allegations that sandusky abused a boy in a locker room shower on campus. mcqueary was a graduate assistant at the time of the alleged incident a few years ago. he reportedly emailed a friend recently saying he told police what he saw at the time but police departments at penn state and the city of college station say they don't have any evidence of that. four people are dead after a storm system unleashed several possible tornadoes in the southeast. three of the deaths were in south carolina in a rural community near rock hill. five others were injured there

yesterday. suspected tornadoes were also reported in louisiana, mississippi and alabama leaving thousands without power. storm systems down there are no joke. >> our weatherman was on a cleaning spree a few minutes ago, cleaning the tabletops in the entire newsroom. so if you want to rent him out, you can. >> come to my house! >> frank is starting to say that he's getting sick. he is doing that whole sore throat thing. >> tomorrow's friday. [ laughter ] >> i see what he's doing now. >> i'm on you, frank. i gotcha. >> hey, folks, are you headed around the bay area today, we are going to see some big changes as even a chance of vein going to move in buy late in the day. this morning -- even a chance of rain is going to move in by late in the day this. morning, low clouds and fog and low clouds into the bay. but as we head toward the afternoon, there's a chance we could see some showers. nothing major but it can be a little wet for the commute on the way home especially in the north bay and toward the coastline. temperatures will be noticeably cooler toward the afternoon as this cold front begins to pull into town and usher in some

much different weather over the next few days into the weekend. not much to this cold front. probably going to die towards the bay area as well so the low dropping south for today. not a big storm system. but enough to possibly get things a little bit wet as we head toward the latter part of the afternoon and evening hours. so chance by the evening around the bay area with some much cooler temperatures en route toward the bay area. low clouds and fog extending inside the bay right now. then you will notice that cold front starts to move in. and by 3:00 we begin to notice on our computer model the chance at least of scattered showers. you can see nothing really well defined and that's what we are going to see as the system moves through just widely scattered showers. behind that overnight tonight and into tomorrow we get into some more scattered showers and it will be unsettled and wet toward tomorrow and much cooler around the bay area where many of those temperatures will struggle to get out of the 50s by tomorrow afternoon. highs today about 63 degrees in san jose. 63 in concord. 59 degrees in san francisco. and about 57 degrees in pacifica. looking out over the next few days, yeah, it's been nice but

now we get back to some wintry weather as it looks like a few storm systems are likely to roll in here. it will be interesting. none look very big but we have a chance of showers this evening. a better chance of showers around the bay area much cooler temperatures for tomorrow. another storm system swings in on saturday but doesn't look like a real big deal but could get wet into sunday morning so i don't think it's a complete washout for the weekend. i think just on and off possibly a few scattered showers here and there. cold on the weekend 50s and that's without the wind blowing. >> i can't believe it's going to rain on our weekend. >> and thanksgiving. >> great. >> you're all inside. you get all that comfort food. >> can't move anyway after that meal. >> we'll be all comatose by 5:00. >> no kidding. >> friday show should be good. >> it's going to be great. >> a turkey coma. >> going to stay inside, hide from the rain. >> all about the coastline sir, the soup, the fire. the fireplace. i know, i'm all about it. let's go outside. i think we have a life shot of

the golden gate bridge. from marin we have overnight roadwork. if you are coming northbound 101 by doyle drive, they are doing more work on the reconstruction project. so the very last exit into san francisco it remains closed until about 5:00 this morning. so you don't want to get caught heading towards the golden gate bridge. again, they should be wrapping that up by 5:00 according to cam trans. southbound 101 looks okay from 580 towards the golden gate bridge plaza. 11 minutes. overnight roadwork could slow you down, quiet out of downtown san jose. here's of a live look just a couple of headlights there approaching the 880 interchange. but there is some roadwork on 880 both directions between old bayshore highway and 280 so watch out for that. looks good out of the altamont pass, not too bad towards vasco

road in livermore. 880 through oakland another live look. you can see oracle there, looks good to hayward. roadwork between fruitvale and 16th avenue so various lanes blocked likely to be pick them up shortly. in the meantime coming up along the peninsula, 101 is moving fine. this is a live look near bayshore and 280 looks okay, as well. so again, it is not quite 5:00 in the morning so that's why things look so good out there. and mass transit, bart on time. ace train one is looking great. muni, caltrain, ferries, everything pretty much giving us no problems and no metering lights at the bay bridge. no delay across the upper deck. roadwork on the lower deck approaching the decline section if you are heading into oakland. remember kcbs once you do hit the roads. they're our radio partners. and you can find them at 740-am and 106.9-fm.

back to you. >> not even 5:00. it's so early. >> i know. >> just a little reminder j thank you. you may have used them to count your change to save you a step but some of those supermarket coin counting machines are shortchanging you. the state division of measurement standards tested machines at 10 supermarkets around california. investigators found discrepancies in nearly a quarter of all transactions. >> these are mechanical devices and things happen. the machines generally are going to be accurate as long as you pay attention. >> there are no guidelines for testing coin counting machines but the division of measurement standards may consider formal testing procedures next spring. >> how are you supposed to pay attention? all do you is dump the coins in. please, give me cash. a homeland security study says the new airport body scanners are safe so the head of the tsa says he may cancel

plans for an independent study of scanners' health effects. he said studies have shown the back scanner machines emit the same amount of radiation as a passenger gets during three minutes in flight. tsa has 250 of the backscatter machines i guess they are called. they use x-rays to check passengers. pizza, yes, it tastes good but would you call it a vegetable? lawmakers in d.c. are set to vote on a bill that allows for just that, believe it or not, for pizza to be counted as a vegetable in school lunches. the reason? it's the tomato sauce. while some may balk at that, one bay area health expert says, yeah, there's some nutrition in there. >> i don't care if it's a canned tomato, i don't care if it's a frozen tomato, i don't care if it's a fresh tomato, it is still considered a serving. >> now, pizza would count as one vegetable serving as long as it has at least two

tablespoons of tomato sauce. the obama administration wanted to limit tomato paste and starchy foods in the schools but republican congressmen say it would impose a burden on cash-strapped school districts but it is worth noting here, no matter what congress does, tomato is a fruit! >> reporter: that's right. it is a fruit. >> not a vegetable. >> anything with seeds is a fruit. learned that at ucla. this is a good story. the british comedian who insulted everyone at last year's golden globes show, he is back. the hollywood foreign press association voted to have ricky gervais host the awards event in january. apparently they liked the insults. 16 though out of 62 members voted against him after his jokes upset movie stars. awww, the poor stars. he tweeted this photo. he is with oscar host billy crystal after the announcement and he warned crystal, he said keep your hands off his material for his academy awards show. >> i think billy's stuff is a little different. >> a little more toned down. >> ricky is a little more "r"

rated in your face, "i hate that guy." a 96-year-old woman from kansas city tied the knot with a younger man. >> her groom 83-year-old soulmate, they got married on tuesday in front. their friends at a rest home -- in front of their friends at a rest home. they knew each other for a year. they have advice for others searching for love. >> it's never too late. you're never too old. >> oh, love is absolutely everywhere, it cannot hide from you. >> they shared meals together all the time and eventually it became clear it him he wanted to marry her. she said she wanted to be with him because he is a gentleman. >> our audio guy says she is a super cougar. laugh of. >> 13 years apart. >> super senior cougar. >> take some lessons from her. it is 4:57. coming up an early-morning raid on "occupy cal."
