everyone agrees. the proposal will be considered tonight as the council rules open government committee. a year ago san jose reduced the speed limit to 15 miles an hour near trace alimentary, hoover middle and lincoln high school. this takes advantage of that allows local government to lower speed limits around school on two lane roads in residential areas where the speed limit is 30 miles an hour or less. now, supporters of the reduced speed limit say it worked. but critics says enough isn't done to enforce if it were changing all of these signs wouldn't be necessary. now, statistics show that half of people struck by a car going 30 miles an hour survive but 85% struck at 20 miles an hour. advocates for lower the speed limit say that's proof enough for them. a third of all traffic fatalities involve them walking or biking to school. now coming up a little bit later this morning, we're going to try to the city councilman

>> now, the 2 weeks following that message anonymous shutting down two-thirds of the system in july, then forcing bart to take drastic measures to second a protest. facebook did not mention the anonymous threat when it announced its campaign. they said it would pay professional security people to hack into the site and have facebook tell them about its weakness. they have not told us what, if any problems they have come up with. they say it founded out thousands of dollars. some people we talked to this morning say they don't believe it's a coincidence that facebook has come up with this campaign at this time. >> 2 weeks after anonymous says they're going to take down facebook, it certainly looks like facebook sort of looking at its options and saying we've got this great user base, many of them are savvy, we can probably use some of that and figure out where the holes are

and try to plug them up. >> they say it's paid about 12,005. $7,000 to the other person. and another time the other times in the past they've paid up to $40,000. we're still trying to contact facebook for comment. craig delve row, ktvu news. a form. accused of embezzling more than $1.5 million from the team. 41-year-old robert o'connor is expected of taking money from nine giants employees. the team release northside statement "we are working with federal authorities to ensure that this matter is thoroughly investigated and that any wrongdoing is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law" time now 6:06. security nationwide is getting beefed up as we approach the temp anniversary of the 9/11 attack. now this is knewly release

west out of the byron highway and the bypass there. let's move along, take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, the traffic there looks pretty good, major problems here driving through the toll plaza and into san francisco. of course we continue to check this update looking at all the freeway so far so good at 178- 5280 and 101. 6:07 let's go toasty. >> low clouds fog out there. it looks like it will max itself out. this looks to be the coolest end of the week. another system, i mean, we are locked into this pattern that has developed and moved into the pacific northwest that will b usher into cooler air off. northwesterly breeze. so cooling trend bottoming out today and i think a little warmer as we head into thursday and also friday. it deals with low clouds. if you have any weather information, cooler and breezy,

>> they say p final mistakes came in the hours immediately following that deadly explosion and fire. the safety board says utility is largely to blame for the chaos and confusion among emergency responders. there are now recommendations but many people wonder if it's enough. >> they're giving recommendation and suggestions but that's no what we need. we need a requirement and we need legislation. >> they made a total of 29 safety recommendations. the agency is hoping the disaster will be a wake up call for both government safety agencies and for america's pipeline industry. recommendations include speeding up the installation of automatic or remote shut off valve. a better system to recognize and pinpoint leaks in real time, better communication among first responders to share information improved oversight among federal and state agencies and better inspections in recordkeeping. you can learn more at the report by going to our channel
