the first nine months of 2011, the technology industry added 26,000 workers that is 65% of all the jobs created in the bay area, and according to one analyst, high-tech workers are more likely to buy a home, make home improvements, eat out more often, and all that pumps more cash into local economies. a peninsula congresswoman this morning is challenging herself and others to try to live on food stamps for a week. >> can i afford it? that's the question. >> congresswoman jackie speer went grocery shopping this morning on a very tight budget. for the next five days, she will try to live on food stamps spending just $4.50 a day. she said the exercise shows her what it's like to walk in the shoes of someone living in poverty. >> there's so many of us that live comfortably, we have no idea what it's like.

two people were injured today, one of them severely after a motorhome caught fire in the delta. firefighters were called to

stone road on beth el island around 5 this morning. they found the motorhome completely engulfed in flames. the fire also spread to a nearby tree and took down a power line. two burn victims were flown to uc davis medical center in sacramento. the cause of the fire is under investigation. calling it a danger to patients, president obama has an order for the fda involving drug shortages. last year, the fda reported 178 shortages, including some cancer drugs. today the president signed an executive order to try to ease those shortages, protect patients from price gouging, and to make sure the government has an earlier heads up about possible problems. >> as part of this we're going to require the drug companies let us know earlier about the potential for drug shortages so that we can respond successfully. >> todays order is the latest in a series of executive orders signed by the president. the white house says it's a way to get around congress'

inaction, but republicans say it's another example of excessive government regulation. two year old conjoined twins will be separated tomorrow in palo alto. angelina and angelica are joined at the chest and abdomen. they will undergo an eight hour operation to be separated at the sternum, liver and diaphragm. a team of 20 doctors and nurses at lucille packard children's hospital will perform the surgery. if all goes well the twins could go home within a few weeks from now. an anesthesia expert is back on the stand in the trial of michael jackson's doctor. the expert is testifying for dr. conrad murray. under cross-examination today by the prosecution, he admitted that murray deviated from the standard of care. dr. paul white testified that he has never heard of a case in which the anesthetic propofol was given to a person in their bedroom to help them sleep. the city of valejo plans to

clean up a homeless en can'tment next month but it is causing concern among the camp. as many as 15 people who live in the en can'tment along wilson avenue south of highway 37 will be displaced, but city officials say they are taking action after receiving a number of complaints about noise and trash. the city has been working with non-profit groups to reach out ahead of the planned clean up but we spoke to people this morning who say shelter space is limited. >> there's really not enough room for all of us there and their program doesn't really fit the formats of what a lot of people want or need, and so i don't think that's going to help the problem at all. >> some of the camps residents say they plan to return to the site after it is cleaned up. officials say the work will cost $25,000. california transit leaders who are weighing the fate of the high speed rail line will receive a crucial report

tomorrow. that report could finally determine whether it's time to kill the $45 billion projector start building the tracks for the bullet trains. critics worry about cost and safety but supporters are excited with the prospect of riding the rails from san francisco to los angeles in two and a half hours. >> i like it. it would be nice to be able to travel back to la. that's where i'm originally from, on a high speed rail and not to have to get to the airport hours in advance. >> i've heard a lot of things like about having the wrong stops or a lot of bureaucracy issues. >> if approved high speed rail would be one of the biggest transit projects in california history. there would be 800 miles of track and at least two dozen stations. another small earthquake has shaken the bay area, the 2.4 magnitude quake struck at 2:42 this morning, two miles east of berkeley. we have not heard any reports of injuries or damage. berkeley has been the epicenter of several small earthquakes in the past two weeks.

a uc berkeley professor trying to disprove global warming now says it is happening. richard mulley says his research shows the earth is 1.6 degrees warmer than in the 1950s and that matches findings from nasa and other agencies. the conservative foundation actually helped pay for part of muller's research. he's set o outline his research today at a conference in new mexico. lots of sunshine out there, very thick fog came in this morning and it's peeling back but it's barely holding on, just a little bit of a rope down the coast. most of it doesn't have much to hold on to because we're starting to pick up a little bit of a northeast wind out in the valley and that's a sign of things to come as we head into tonight or tomorrow. some coastal fog but now there's not much, sunny and warm if you're away from that and that's most people. look sunny tomorrow, breezy to windy, in fact sunny by the coast but a big pattern change for thursday into friday. much colder system dropping

down from the gulf of alaska. looks like some rain but more cold than wind. you can see the fog going down the coast and that's a sign of things to come over the next 24- 36 hours so i'd be surprised if there's any there tomorrow morning. if there is there won't be much left. 70s already, some areas warming up nicely, 60s and 70s for everybody so coast bay and inland starting to jump up a little east wind now at sfo, northeast at fairfield, northwesterly wind at san jose but that easterly and northerly wind kicks in tonight into tomorrow. high pressure starts to build in and that's going to give us higher fire danger but take care of the fog and give us one more warm day before system up in the gulf of alaska decides to dive in. now the jet stream has been way to the north but it says you know what? i think i'll head to california but not until after wednesday so today some coastal fog but not much left. just a light breeze, slightly cooler by the coast but everyone else starting to pick up sun so mild to warm conditions. some coastal fog a little

cooler but for everyone else, mid 70s, upper 70s, kentfield 73, nappa 75, a little bit warmer towards oakley, berkeley and upper 60s to low 70s, upper 70s morgan hill and gel roy, 76 san jose, santa cruz at 70, fog burning off there, 70s on the peninsula and on the coast still 60s but tomorrow looks to be much warmer and tomorrow could be about the same coast and also inland. then we start to look to the north and here comes thursday, colder. we'll go down into the 50s for highs on friday and weekend always in view we'll keep that one more system. snow will be in the mountains, light rain but much colder, good 20-degree drop. >> big change. thank you, steve. a major milestone the world population is expected to reach the 7 billion mark, but pinpoint exactly which baby born today represents that number is impossible so the united nations is marking the day with a string of festivities around the world and babies are being designated

number 7 billion. more people are being added in a shorter amount of time. 12 years ago we passed the 6 billion mark. the world population is expected to reach 9.3 billion by 2015. the proposed new home for the 49ers may open earlier than expected. ktvu news has confirmed the city of santa clara is putting the finishing touches on the final financial plan for the billion dollar facility. that's raising hopes the groundbreaking ceremony could be held late next year and city leaders are now hoping for 2014 opening instead of the earlier target date of 2015. this news follows another great sunday for the 49ers and they beat the cleveland browns 20-10 and 49ers are off to the best start since 1998 with a record of six and one. three days after winning the world seer it, st. louis cardinals manager tony larusa announced this morning that he is retiring. >> you take all of those factors there isn't one that dominates. they all just come together
