faculty, and staff starting at noon today. and now, the disease was thought to be controlled, but right now across country, there is a movement acing among some parents to avoid vaccines at a fear they mite cause other diseases. >> it is hard to make that determination. yes, i mean, certainly, if people, if they are vaccinated, they are much less risk of picking up one of these diseases. >> reporter: and there are 44 confirmed cases of the uc berkeley campus. the school has traced the outbreak to a student who took a trip to europe. the similar fathers or mothers -- the symptoms include fever, headache, and the swelling of glands. people with mumps can cover up when sneezing or coughing, staying home, or washing their hands frequently. the students who live here in high-density housing with common eating areas, they will be given priority. >> it's way too early in this outbreak to figure out how long it will be lasting. but we'll pay attention to it

than what a lot of people are living in. >> how long that may depend on how much the buildings' owner will be pushing police. homes, not jails, says san francisco, they have 10,000 homeless people and 30,000 on occupied homes. occupied protesters it in southern california turned deadly after the man jumped to his death. now, it happened yesterday during a rally near san diego civic center plaza. police say that the 42-year-old jumped from a parking structure and that paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene. and this morning, the san diego union tribune, they report a man likely did not belong to the occupied movement. and the activists still held a candlelight vigil last night in the man's honor. overnight, police arrested more than 100 people taking part in the occupied boston protest. officers in riot gears made the arrest after the protesters refused to leave the rose kennedy green way. police say that the park underwent a $150,000 renovation and that they were worried that

hybrid car drivers from car pool lanes is apparently causing more gridlock on bay area freeways. and uc berkeley researchers studied data from the local car pool lanes. now, they say that it is not just more cars and regular lanes slowing down traffic. but on interstate 880, average speeds also dropped in car pool lanes by about 10%. and apparently, car pool drivers,s they are uncomfortable driving fast next to slow moving traffic here in regular lanes. well, i'm sure that right now, people are taking advantage of the lanes. maybe others are not. as you have checked in on the roadways for us? >> reporter: you know what, the story that's getting the most play on twitter. and we read it this morning. the peanut butter prices are going up. >> i like peanut butter. >> yeah. >> for some reason that has hit a nerve. if you didn't hear the story, we'll have it on again, but mid gooness -- but my goodness. let's take a look at the commute. if you go to ktvu.com, you can find me, you can find steve, you can find us on facebook. and you can also find us on

twitter. ktvu has ways to do that. just go to ktvu.com and this is highway 4. you can see traffic is moving along slowly here. by the way, not to get myself out of a job, but at ktvu.com, they also have 24/7 traffic rob there as you can see, the bay bridge -- traffic reports there as you can see, the bay bridge, they have a back up. it looks like the traffic on the bridge has slowed down and that's why the traffic on the upper deck will be slowing down. now, whenever something happens on the deck, even if it is just a stall, they need to slow down the metering lights. that's why all of a sudden we have slow traffic. if it gets slow up there, it gets slower here at the toll plaza. makes sense, right? this is a look at san jose. slower traffic is passing 17. now, northbound 280, they are also very slow. so now the south bay, well, they are back in full force after yesterday's holidays. even the santa cruz mountains are getting a little bit of the wear and tear on northbound 17. and it is 7:36, here is steve. >> all right, sal, thank you very much. mostly cloudy, some interesting

cloud formations here. some people love the drizzle, huh? and i know willie on a tweet says he loves them, but erica says i don't like this at all. if you want sunshine, it will be here later. there are a few breaks in the clouds, but everyone says cloudy and a few drizzles will be around. higher clouds from yesterday which produce some copious amounts of rain. that's from our director, copious. now, we have one to two inches of rain that fell out there and also near ft. braggs. .87 out here. oakland about the same, san francisco at .61 and san hoe hay had .09 inch -- and san jose had .09 inches. a lot of moisture is going with this front. the main dynamics to the north. morning drizzle is still there. cloudy, humid, clearing out there.

70s for everybody here. low to mid, same for upper though for morgan hill and gilroy. on the coast, 60s. the warmer weather will be taking us into wednesday, thursday, friday, it does look a little cooler for your weekend. >> all right. time now is 7:38. the trial of dr. conned rad murray will resume -- dr. conrad murray will resume in los angeles. they are outside the courtroom this morning and claudia, what could jurors expect to hear from prosecutors today? >> okay, we'll get to her in just a moment. >> reporter: can you hear me claudine? today here at the michael jackson/conrad murray trial, jurors will hear more of this audio tape that conrad murray gave to police just several days after michael jackson died. it began on friday, expected to finish up today. so the jury will hear more of

this very detailed, emotional, and often counting of events given by conrad murray, essentially testifying here in the courtroom without exposing himself to cross-examination. on this audio tape again, it was conducted in a police interview just several days after michael jackson died. conrad murray told police that he gave the singer four separate injections of sedatives to try to help him get some sleep. michael jackson was exhausted from rehearsing all day and he had acute insomnia. when the drugs didn't work, murray says that he finally relented to the singer's imploring request for his old standby, which he called the milk, which is his nickname for the very powerful anesthetic propofol. when he did finally fall asleep, he left the room for a couple of minutes, when he returned that michael jackson had actually stopped breathing. murray told police that despite all his efforts to revive jackson, the singer never

regained consciousness. and now, prosecutors said that he was grossly negligent in his handling of michael jackson's health care and that he should be convicted of involuntary manslaughter. the defense will try to prove that michael jackson had all kinds of knowledge about these powerful anesthetics and sedatives. they will try to prove to the jury that he actually gave himself a lethal dose of this propofol and died of an accidental overdose. however, claudine, prosecutors say so far the only fingerprints they have found on the viles of these drugs belong to connedded a murray -- conrad murray, back to you for now. >> all right, thank you. reporting live to us live from los angeles. thank you so much. time now is 7:41. the first commercial of thesalmon fishing season is over. it ended on friday. more than 69,000 salmon were caught since the season started in may, according to the mercury news. in some region, recreational
