important, i would like to know. i'm still unclear on what the message is. >> boy, google it. there are concerns about another element, a critical mass bike ride. but the crowd headed off in another direction. today, several bay area cities are asking shoppers to think smaller. shop owners all over the bay are taking part in what's known as small business saturday, a nationwide initiative into getting shoppers to shop at independently-owned stores instead of those big-box retailers. small businesses in oakland did decide to get that buy local movement started a little early. a citizen-led event tried to lure back customers to stores damaged by occupy oakland protests three weeks ago. brick and mortar vendors, as well as pop-up stores, food stands, and musical performances combined yesterday to create what was known as blackout oakland. some merchants were already beginning to see the benefits. >> it is a fantastic day, and i have to attribute that to the

great people of oakland coming by and checking it out. >> we knew it was going to be a nice day. >> despite in acts of vandalism, store owners say they still support the occupy movement and occupy oakland returned the favor by publicly supporting yesterday's big event. turns out basketball fans may deck the halls with nba tickets soon. early this morning, nba players and owners reached a tentative agreement to end that lockout. the deal lays out a 66-game schedule set that would begin on christmas day. league commissioner david stern says he is optimistic that deal will be approved. >> our fans and the support from the people and the patience through a large part of this process, you know, that's who a lot of this credit goes to. >> the proposed deal includes a $300 million player salary cut and a 50/50 split of revenues between players and owners.

purpose. police have released these pictures of the suspect. they were taken by witnesses at the time of a fight at a restaurant on thursday. police say shortly after that fight, the suspect drove his mazda suv into the victim at a gas station in the inner richmond district, leaving that person with critical injuries. a major construction project over the next two years could send richmond commuters on a 10-mile cross-bay detour. that will not make drivers happy. cal trans is planning to replace eastbound onramps for interstate 580 at scoastled avenue and western drive. as a detour, the agency is suggesting drivers take the richmond san rafael bridge to marijn before turning around. richmond city leaders are upset over cal trans' lack of consultation prior to the project. around here, we are looking at a lovely weekend if you're shopping or maybe just--

"the tenant"... a woman wh's avoided paying rent for yea. s had numerous court . 7:12 now. we've reported on the tenant that is a woman who has avoided

paying rent for years. she's had numerous court judgments against her and owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to landlords here in the bay area. allen martin takes a closer look at where she's turned up and why her time in oregon didn't last long. >> reporter: gwen smith, we want to talk to you! >> reporter: when we first caught up with gwen smith, it was late october in the town of forestville in sonoma county. she sped past our cameras as we tried to ask her about eight court judgments against her, judgments in favor of landlords, like connie cook. >> she started claiming that the apartment was unhabitable. the water was not healthy. there was a gas leak. >> reporter: the judge ruled smith's conduct of not paying rent and filing numerous legal actions, malicious and a tactical delay and awarded cook $49,000 in damages.

after leaving cook's house, smith moved to oregon, renting a room in this house. >> she had a bed up there. >> reporter: landlord lance hill says within days, he realized he had made a big mistake. >> i got, you know, the roommate from hell. >> reporter: she put a lock on her room and started complaining about everything. >> it's all about her. i mean, your life is -- she's like a full-time job. >> reporter: then smith moved into pamela joy's house and soon started threatening her, according to court documents. >> i put a lock on the inside of my bedroom door because i was afraid to not lock it at night when i was asleep. >> reporter: joy also took smith to court. she says this is an audio recording of smith talking back to the judge. >> the witness may step down. >> wait, i'm not done! >> i'm sorry. you are done. >> no, i'm not done! >> she was arguing with the judge! it was to my mind, really shocking. >> reporter: but one thing that didn't happen to landlords in oregon, it was the financial ruin of southern california

involving smith withholding rent. if oregon, if there's a landlord-tenant dispute, tenants still have to pay rent into an escrow account held by the court. whoever wins gets the money. janet forthman with a rights expert. >> the court says we're going to hold on to this rent. and by the way, mr. tenant, you have to keep paying every month to the court. >> reporter: portman thinks it's a good way to stop abuse on both sides. >> there's a neutral ref he re, namely the court. >> reporter: the landlord evicted smith from his home within three months. smith kept on living in con know cook's converted barn for 16 months without paying rent, while she fought her eviction in court. that eventually caused cook to lose her home to foreclosure. coincidence or not? smith, it appears, is now back in the more tenant oz friendly bay area. most recently, we found her at a

park fixing what looked like breakfast and tending to her cat. portman sees the case as a good example of why california should adopt an escrow law. >> i don't see a good argument that could be made against it. >> reporter: but that would require lawmakers to pass a bill and the governor signing, which could take time, something former landlords say gwen smith doesn't deserve. >> she causes havoc. >> the damage she does is not just to people's property and to their finances, but she leaves a psychological wound. >> reporter: other than spending time at the park, gwen smith's housing arrangements are currently unknown. we have learned that a second landlord who had rent withheld by smith has her property go into foreclosure, too. if you have a story idea, log onto cbssf.com, closer look, and send me an e-mail. allen martin, cbs 5. 16 minutes after 7:00 now on a saturday morning. lot of folks are going head back

her 7-year-old daughter kylie has cerebral palsy. wheelchairs can run $5000 to $10,000 a superstroller, $2000. the process is difficult and can take months, and there is no guarantee the child will even like or use it. >> i thought if there was an inventory of all this equipment that parents can try before they make a purchase decision or before the state purchases something for them, just seems logical that that should be available. >> some of the more popular items tend to be bath equipment. the strollers are probably the biggest because insurance won't cover both a wheelchair and stroller. >> reporter: so while working full-time in corporate marketing, this single mom started taking donations in her garage and built the able closet website, listing inventory. >> somebody can click to borrow the equipment. >> the children need to be measured, need to make sure it fits them appropriately, which is why the inventory needs to be so large. >> reporter: twice a month, able

closet opens its warehouse doors to families searching for pediatric equipment. in two short years, the word has spread to where kelly and her organization now help up to 20 families a month. >> take a couple of steps? >> reporter: like bonnie and aiden-- >> without the walker, he wouldn't be able to participate with the other children at recess time. i feel so grateful to her and her family for having, you know, done this for our family. >> reporter: so for providing families with special needs children the equipment they need to reach their full potential, this week's jefferson award in the bay area goes to kelly sites. kate kelly, cbs 5. >> what a wonderful resource. if you are taking a walk outside today, looks like it's going to be very nice. really warm temperatures. kristy siefken has been following our forecast this morning. >> it's going to be above average by as much as 8 or 10 degrees in some places,

certainly warmer than what we saw yesterday. if you're on the roadways this morning bright and early, be careful, because there are areas of dense, patchy fog. that's going to limit visibility, particularly up in those inland locations and also if you're making your way to some of those inland valleys in the east bay, be wary as well. later this afternoon, it's going to be gorgeous weather, plenty of sunshine in store. as we take a live look outside, you can see some of the sunshine peeking through. not a single cloud in this picture. well, i guess you see a little wispy clouds. certainly not dealing with any rain this morning and temperatures aren't that cold. it's really unseasonable weather for this late in november. another look at our inland locations. this is the picture you see throughout the afternoon today. taking a look at what you can expect for today and a couple days out, patchy fog, once again watch out for mild days ahead. then we will see cooling later on into the week. a look at current temperatures outside right now, in the 40s for the most part, livermore at

44. santa rosa at 43. we're seeing 30s in parts of the north bay right now. a little cooler, and most of the cloud cover you can see is far out in the pacific. some of that working its way into the bay area. mostly what we're dealing with this morning is just that patchy fog. you can see dense areas in our far inland locations, fairfield, concord, livermore. starting to see that break up by 1:00 this afternoon. still seeing areas of fog up in parts of marijn. later on in the afternoon, we start to see a little bit of clearing. we'll continue to see that for the next several days. late night, early morning fog. but we see dry weather at least and warmer weather, because this high pressure is still in the picture, going to hold on strong at least for the next couple of days before we see changes. northern california looking good today. 61 for fresco, cooler in monterrey at 54. looking at the numbers where we are usually compared to where we'll be this afternoon, as much as 8 degrees above average. look at the 70s in mountain

view. highs throughout the bay area, 64 in san rafael, fairfield at 64 and livermore at 65. sunday, even a few degrees warmer than what we're seeing today. monday, bumping it up into the 70s in inland spots. a few degrees cooler in the inland locations. then as we make our way a little later on into the work week, that's when we see changes. we'll see a low drop in from the gulf of alaska wednesday into thursday. that's going to drop temperatures down, pumping cool air into our forecast and bringing us a slight chance of showers as well. so the umbrella you had out last week, you might need it later on in the week. back to you. >> thank you, kristy. imagine spending a billion dollars in less than 24 hours. we're talking about cyber monday. it's the digital cousin to black friday. last year, it was the biggest online spending day ever. to take a look at that and tips for no-regret shopping on gadget gifts, the chief tech mom and

blogger for cool mom tech and tech momma's blog joins us now. you're a busy mom! >> yep. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> lot of stores are offering free shipping on cyber monday. how do you strategize? >> it's important not to be a sale chaser. there's been a lot going on, and seriously, don't wake up early in the morning-- >> really? >> yes. i'm telling everyone, stay asleep, spend time with your family. great news. you can get all the information in the palm of your hand are on the web. >> we always hear that's when the best deals, right after midnight or 5:00 a.m. not necessarily the case? >> well, there's limited stock, so you might get there, wake up in the morning and there's only three tvs and you're too late. consumer reports also did a study with a shopping service that has a prediction for when to buy consumer electronics, so you know the prices. >> you're saying that electronics are really good thing to buy during the holiday

season. this is as cheap as it gets? >> well, the thing is, there's black friday is not necessarily the cheapest. so i say the first two weeks of december is actually also the cheapest. that's what consumer reports found, that basically there's a 5% cheaper after cyber monday and before december 13. >> that goes against conventional wisdom. >> it does, doesn't it? >> yeah. so how do you know where to find the best deals, then? >> for one, using this website to compare prices. there's an iphone app you can bring to the store and scan the bar code. >> you find the tv, you want to buy it, scan it and that will tell you whether you should buy it or wait? >> you can see all the other places, so you can know if you're getting a deal instead of being a sale chaser. >> but will you know where the prices are? >> right. it also shows you the other prices, where they are, and maybe stay home in your pajamas and find the best deal. what other advice for people

for your family, laptop, tv, is your tv getting a little old? >> actually, it is. i'm about to admit it's not even hd. >> how about a new smartphone? >> good ideas. and also, if your budget is a little smaller, which a lot of people are dealing with right now, you've got good ideas for under $10. >> right. everyone has digital photos, well marks a mouse pad on shutter fly for under $10. >> nice. >> great stocking stuffer. or a mug. there are also usb drives, which is 2 gigabytes of storage, hello kitty and sponge bob square pants. >> personalized gadgets. like that. and what else? >> if you are busy on the go, they have ipod cases under $10, on sale right now. that's a good time to get cases on sale. >> if you can't pony up for the full gadget, you can get the accessory, still very

eye on the bay's liam mayclm with the muppets, marilyn ad more vampires. . time to raise the curtain on a new muppet movie. liam mayclem with the muppets, marilyn and more van dam piers. greetings, pleasure seekers. movies, movies, more movies. let's begin with the muppets. with muppet studio in disrepair

and in jeopardy of being torn down, in fans get together and go on a search to find kermit the frog and miss piggy, convince them the studio can be safe. kermit decides it's time to reunite the old gang. the problem is, they haven't seen each other in years. so will they be able to save the studio before ruthless businessman rex richmond, played by chris cooper, takes over? this is a touching story line, with memorable cover songs and some original songs, too, that you will know and love. those songs, plus an adorable cast, make this a very, very fun, hilarious movie, and a great movie-going experience appropriate for all ages this weekend. next up, another great family film, hugo. it's a magical movie in 3d, adapted from the fantasy book by brian selznik, brought to the big screen by martin scorsese.

it tells the tale of hugo, a boy who often spends time hopscotching over the city of paris, mending clocks, keeping the tradition of his late father alive. the toy shop owner is brilliant and provides much of the emotional heart of this film. it's a family film, but what martin scorsese has created here is an exquisite jewel box of a movie, brimming with treasures to be enjoyed by the entire family this holiday weekend. next up, not necessarily one for the family, but it's michelle williams who takes on one of the most iconic stars on film, marilyn monroe, and she succeeds on every level. the look, the voice, she nails it. the movie is based on the real-life story of a studio gopher, a boy friday who connects with the movie legend during a film shoot at pine wood studios in london. if his story is to be believed,

he has a week-long fling with marilyn, all while she is married to arthur miller. oscar buzz aplenty around the film. michelle williams is brilliant, and kenneth is also due for an oscar nod. a great movie, probably the best portrayal of marilyn monroe ever on the big screen. my week with marilyn is now playing and is rated r. finally, twilight breaking dawn, it's the beginning of the end for the twilight crew. while the latest film does not have the bite of the prior films, it has much to keep you entertained. a lavish kardashian-style wedding, the birth of a child, and of course the epic wolfpack versus vampire fight scenes. here's your recap. the muppets, hugo, great family films. great date night, my week with

marilyn and twilight. enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend. cheers! and we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
