"i mean, it's a weird kind of dynamic thinking about this is the fourth time in a row we've played cleveland in the finals. obviously, lebron's still there and he's the mister everything for them. he's been playing amazing the whole regular season and especially in these playoffs to will his team back here." lebron james says:"listen, golden state is one of the best teams i've ever played. it's one of the best teams that's ever been assembled. then they added kevin durant. so then what does that do to them? it makes them even more dangerous and even more powerful and great. for me as a competitor, it's fun." the game should be exciting for warriors fans.. the team is heavy favorites to win not only tonight, but the entire series.

(vicki) once again the san francisco public health department and the city's sheriff say they are re- evaulating security protocols after another missing person was found dead in a stairwell on campus. kron4's maureen kelly has the latest on what we know so far on this ongoing investigation. ruby andersen's body was discovered by engineering staff here inside an internal stairwell of the san francisco general hospital power plant just before 1 pm wednesday. that's 10 days after the 76 year old was reported missing to the san francisco sheriff's

department by a staff member of the residential care facility for the elderly located on the hospital's campus. she had signed herself out at 9am the day before, saying she planned to be back by 4p, but never returned.the board and care facility treats those over 60 years old with mental issues who need additional non medical care.family members say anderson suffered from dementia. this is the missing person's flyer that deputies circulated on campus. it turns out where anderson was last seen is not far from the plant where her body was found. it's a situation that brings back memories of lynn spaulding, the patient who died of hydration in a general hospital stairwell. that 2013 incident sparked a change in protocol that triggers a search of the entire campus when a patient goes missing.....but that didn't happen for andersen because she was not considered a patient.i would say that's not the protocol for this kind of person because generally these people signed themselves out

and may not be on the campus which is very possible but also they sign themselves off every day so something we have not established as protocol of looking for people who do not return to the behavioral health campus. now for four cold green which is a patient's disappearance we do have that protocol and every building would be searched including the shears department would have search the power plant pet stairway as well that may change after this latest tragedy. one change that has already happened since the discovery of the elderly woman's remains....the power plant, which had been accessable 12 hours a day to allow staff and vendors to come and go, now requires 24 hour security badge access. authorities say they are conducting a security assessement all of the buildings on campus.the medical examiner conducted an autopsy on andersen's body today, those results are still pending. the heath department says they expect to provide another update on this case friday at 10a.maureen kelly kron4 news.

can be found in virtually any quantity of stagnant water from a curbside puddle like this toa bird bath or pet food dish.
