marijuana and the safe access for patients, but almost for our own dignity. >> reporter: he says that he is getting the blame for an already troubled neighborhood. but ktvu spoke to some neighbors who say it's the pot club that draws out the dangerous elements and they were too scared to speak up in public for fear of retaliation. smith, however, says that the fight is not over. live from berkeley, tara moriarty. back to you. >> all right. thank you. time now 7:07. this morning oakland police trying to determine if a series of shootings last night that happened within minutes of each other are connected. a total of six people were shot. just before 9 p.m. two people were shot on 88th avenue and b streets. minutes later two more people were shot at 60th avenue. then a fifth person was shot at 105th avenue and san leandro street. a sixth person went to highland hospital on her own. police say she was shot at

>> everybody doing the same thing at the same time in the same sequence at the same grade levels. >> but a district official says the new curriculum will lead to deeper understanding of certain concepts and says it will leave students better prepared for a more competitive global job marketplace. we learned about this story through a tip. so if you have a tip for our 2 investigates team, we want to hear from you. just e-mail 2 investigates at ktvu.com. a university student in texas is having a ball. 13,000 of them to be exact. david nickel turned his dorm room at rice university into, check this out, a ball pit. how, you ask? first he did the calculations and then imported 13,000 colorful plastic balls from china. nickel had to make a few adjustments so the balls and his roommates would fit, like move his desk to a common area in the building. the second semester senior says he couldn't be happier.

north or south. but when you do get to the toll plaza plaza you see stop-and-go traffic there. the traffic is also going to be a little bit slow on the bridge. as i look at chp's list, we don't have a lot to go on. this is a look at 280 in san jose. you can see it's getting slow. it corresponds to what we see on the maps in the south bay. 280, 101 slow as you drive through. 280 is slow through cupertino. 80 to the 280 interchange. steve in the weather center? some patchy fog. santa rosa, livermore, maybe a little towards concord. easterly breeze in place. 16 miles per hour out of the east. napa airport has an east wind. there is an east wind parts of san francisco. so it's an offshore breeze. do get a sunrise here with some high-mid-level clouds and it's dry, dry, dry. last january was the driest

ever in san francisco. .06. there is a possibility coming up from baja, which would be unbelievely rare for january, that rain could make it in here. it would be ironic. it's possible. i will show you. a lot of cloud cover over us. a little bit of fog. mainly it's a cloudy to mostly cloudy morning. our system is falling apart. cloudy to morning and then mostly sunny by this afternoon. 30s, 40s, and 50s. 55 half moon bay. offshore breeze there. a lot of 40s here. black hawk at 38. 40s for anitoch, brentwood. northeast and livermore and northeast at hayward, east at sfo, and northeast gusting to 21 half moon bay. that's an offshore breeze. it means it's going to be rather mild for some by the coast. 20s up in reno and lake tahoe. 40s for sacramento, also ukiah and monterey. the high and mid-level clouds will thin out.

the fog will get chewed up tomorrow. a mostly cloudy thursday morning and mostly cloudy, partly cloudy by this afternoon. the big news continues to be the warm-up. high pressure starts in on friday and will continue big time into saturday. some of the forecasted highs for the weekend, at least for saturday. so 70s to near 80 degrees near monterey and santa cruz. that would probably be on sunday. a low is forming coming right back towards the four corners and one of the -- well, by all the forecast models. one of them brings good rain. the others just bring clouds. look at that. maybe next tuesday might get some rain. keeping it east for now. close enough that we have to mention it. it wouldn't be until next tuesday and wednesday. to come up from baja in january is not something we see very often. 60s and 50s on the temps. i don't think i have changed these a degree or two the week. tomorrow around the bay and on the coast, santa cruz is going to rock it up. even half moon bay with that offshore breeze. looks pretty good today. mostly sunny and very warm on

the weekend. >> so it's interesting. you said this storm next week could be coming from the south and the warm weather, leting it? >> very much. a low is forming underneath. then it will be drawn up. for us to get rain in january from baja is not something i have ever seen in january. that's something you see in august or september. not january. >> all right. we will take any rain we can get. >> yeah. >> thank you, steve. it is 7:22. a serious shake-up in silicno valley after a major announcement from ebay. in 15 minutes, pam cook will tell us what it means for thousands of employees and investors. plus, he thought he was being a hero when he tackled a man right there. you saw him carrying a gun inside a walmart. up next why his actions landed him behind bars.

california border. a witness saw the drone crash in a supermarket parking lot in tijuana tuesday night. investigators say six packages of crystal meth were taped onto it. because the packets weigh more than six pounds, they were probably too heavy for the drone to carry. authorities say smugglers have been using drones for some time and their use is only expected to grow. a florida man is facing charges for tackling another man who brought a gun into a walmart. but the man with the gun had a permit to legally carry it. the tuesday incident near tampa was caught on surveillance cameras. sheriff's officials say he saw him getting out of his car with a gun in his holster. he tacked daniels after he walked into the store and put him into a chokehold. >> i have a license. don't say nothing to me. wait to the sheriff gets here. >> store security detained both men until police arrived.

traced to disneyland. seven bay area people now have the measles virus. ktvu's janine de la vega joining us live in santa clara. there is a warning for people who may think they are immune? >> reporter: doctors are saying if you got vaccinated as a child and you're now an adult and it's been a long time, you may want to consider getting a booster because the effectiveness of that vaccine along time ago, it may have worn off. now, doctors are saying the best way to prevent from getting the measles is to get vaccinated and most of those shots are available at pharmacies like cvs or walgreen's. health officials say there are now 59 confirmed cases of the measles in california since the end of december. the majority of linked to an initial exposure from disneyland in anaheim. seven people who are infected are from alameda, santa clara, and san mateo counties. the measles is a highly

infectious airborne disease which usually starts with a fever, cough, runny nose and eyes. a red rash appears on the face and spreads down the body. many cases can go undiagnosed for days. health officials warn anyone unvaccinated are at risk and so are children who haven't received a second dose of the shot. >> our grandchildren are find. they are up to date and everything. who knows? you never know. >> reporter: would you ever consider getting a booster, or no? >> i would consider it. >> reporter: in 63% of the measles cases, the persons infected were age 20 and older. most were unvaccinated, but there were some who had received the vaccine at a younger age and still contracted measles. doctors are urging people to get immunized. they know there are a growing number of children in california who are not being fully vaccinated and then want to prevent the spread of the disease. public health officials expect

rubber as a possible cause. >> i know it's frustrating that the people are questioning why we can't identify this substance, but it's important that we are right and not that we are fast. >> now, the most recent numbers from fish and game are that 318 birds are contaminated. 200 birds have died. both of those numbers are expected to go up. the temperatures will be going up and many people will head for the beach. but the national weather service says be very careful at the beach. a high surf advisory takes effect tonight on the bay area coast. powerful waves up to 10 to 15 feet high are expected, which means the danger, the risk of people getting swept away goes up. the national weather service is advising if you are going to the beach, just stay back from the water this weekend. the advisory is in effect until sunday morning. it is 7:38. job cuts at ebay. the news came to employees this week, but without a lot of details. pam cook is in the studio with

moderately heavy out to the toll plaza -- past the toll plaza and getting out to the span. the weather is going to not be a factor today as it was in the days -- earlier in the week. westbound bay bridge, i like the way that's moving in the middle lanes. me to believe this is a normal bay bridge commute. as we go to the maps now, 880, pardon me, traffic moving okay. from hayward down to san leandro traffic is going to be slow all the way to fremont. that commute is typical. 580 in livermore westbound you can see it's still a little bit slow on your way over to pleasant ton with no major delays. sal, the screaming message is warm at the coast. i see what you did there. >> thank you, sir. i appreciate that. sometimes you entertain myself.

we have a dry january. drier than last year? yes. we had .06. some fog out there. there is a howling east wind. 34 miles per hour. 30 plus on the golden gate and 15 to 30 in parts of the san francisco. it has been a dry, dry january. we have not had any rain yet. there is a possibility of some rain. there is? yes, there is. next tuesday, wednesday coming up from baja. what? i know. that does not happen in january. i don't think it ever has. usually, that's something we see in september and august. before we get there we will have much warmer temperatures coming in. starts a little bit today really on the coast and bay. it will be warmer friday and for saturday, for january, it will be very warm. temperatures forecasted to 5,000 feet will be 68 degrees. unprecedented for january. usually we don't see that until springtime. we are getting it this weekend, which translates into very warm conditions. we have a lot of cloud cover

over us. 30s, 40s, and 50s. 54 half moon bay due to a northeast wind. santa rosa 39. patches of fog around. all 40s here. had a couple 30s for a while. now there is 40s. the east wind 23 gusting in napa. east at oakland. it's east at concord and northeast. and east 20 san francisco out to sunset out of richmond. that's an howling offshore breeze. if you are in southern california, down near las vegas, 40 degrees. we do have a lot of cloud cover. mostly cloudy. once that clears the area that will allow the east wind and everything to get rid of some of that fog. the higher clouds giving us though that painting, a brush of cloud cover on us. tomorrow we start to warm it up. saturday and sunday look warm. these are the early forecasted highs for sunday. santa cruz 77. would not be surprise today see an 80-degree reading at santa cruz. a low is forming in baja. watch what happens.

it won't be this weekend. then watch. it would be really unusual for january. one forecast model is very wet for us. the other two are clouds but not much rain. we will see. four or five days to iron things out. clouds in the morning. breezy to windy for some. hazy for others. 50s and 60s. these temperatures have been stuck for the longest time. they will, though, start to rebound tomorrow. looks mild by the coast and also even today not too bad. half moon bay 66 to santa cruz at 68. tomorrow though we warm it up. boy, does it -- now, again, those are low 70s inland temps. the coast will be 70s to maybe near 80. >> wow. >> i know. >> yeah. >> we have been warned. >> all right. steve, thank you. time now 7:51. you may remember the story from florida about a misprinted rug at a sheriff's office. well, that rug just sold for almost $10,000 at an online auction. a couple months ago the rug was delivered to the lobby of the pinellas county sheriff's office. earlier this month, a worker

spotted a spelling mistake. the word god was misspelled. so instead of saying "in god we trust," it read "in dog we trust " at auction that rug sold for $9,650 which will be donated to a local animal rescue program. >> that's a nice thing to do to turn around a mistake and make it worthwhile. 7:52. it's a super racy ad. i will have to cover dave's eyes. in the next hour, we have video of what could be the most controversial commercial during the big game. back here at home, first we have new details about a plan to add that extra lane of traffic to one of the bay area's busiest bridges. why drivers would not be the only ones to benefit.

hundreds of people in new jersey are homeless after this huge fire at an apartment complex in edge water, new

jersey. it started late yesterday afternoon and firefighters are still at the scene this morning. apartment residents were quickly evacuated. among them the radio broadcaster for the new york yankees. there are no reports of major injuries. the mayor of edgewater declared a state of emergency closing schools and blocking access to some roads. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. time is 75:00. tonight bart will consider banning e-cigarettes on its trains. e-cigarettes right now are not regulated on bart, but the bart board will debate a proposal to ban them. tonight bart will also consider developing an art policy. bart is considering adding artwork from the community at bart train stations to make them look more modern and also to celebrate different cultures. we are finding out more this morning about a proposal to add an extra traffic lane to the richmond-san rafael bridge. it would be to convert the lower 12-foot shoulder into a third

lane of traffic. that third lane would only be open during commute hours. so drivers we talked to say that's enough to make a big difference. >> i do see it, that it gets backed up frequently and extensively during rush hour. i think it would be advantageous. >> it calls for a new bike lane on the upper deck. on tuesday, state assemblyman mark levine presented a bill that would fast track the project. the price tag estimated at $60 million. it would be paid for by the tolls. it is 7:56. golden state warriors on the longest home winning streak in franchise his -- history. they beat the rockets last night. it was the warriors' 17th straight win at home. they are 34-6 so far this season. tops in the league. they had a four-game season

sweep of the rockets. they host the sacramento kings tomorrow. they are on fire. they had a 29 point lead in the third quarter. >> they were also energized. one of the stars of the rockets had said that the warriors aren't that good. >> oh? so motivation. time is 7:56. there is a new break in the decades old gypsy hill break. after the break, new developments in the break and what authorities plan to do this morning. a pot club in berkeley may have to shut down. after the break, the reason the city wants to see it closed. we are seeing improvement in some commutes, but some are actually getting slower. this is a look at the richmond bridge approach heading over to moran. you see there is slow traffic. mostly cloudy skies out there, but down right windy for some this morning from petaluma to san francisco. we will talk about the offshore breeze and what's in store for a rather warm week.

low 40s from black hawk, danville, san ramon. mid 40s anitoch and livermore. south of mountain view, due east 15 at sfo. half moon bay 21. now is says calm. east outer richmond 15 to 30 miles per hour. that offshore , that's a sign of things to come. it's an offshore breeze. temperatures will warm up a little bit today, but a lot over the weekend. well above average for this time of year. in fact, unseasonly warm. clouds in the morning. sunny. breezy or wind for some. that's an easterly direction. that means it's going from land to sea. 60s on many of the temps. warmest will be coast and bay. here is sal. new update? >> yeah, we are looking at the commute here and looking at the toll plaza to see if it's getting a little bit better in the 8:00 hour. slightly. i really can't say i see much of a difference. but no matter what, you will see slow traffic as you approach the toll plaza. there is going to be some slow

traffic also as you get onto the actual bridge itself. looking at interstate 880 north and southbound, moderate. getting a little bit heavier past high street. i am looking at a lot of stop-and-go traffic on 680 southbound from 242 to walnut creek and 24 is moderate as you drive through. if you are driving over the 80 freeway, westbound 80 between, let's say, hercules and richmond. a fair amount of stop and go traffic that doesn't get better until you reach berkeley. it's 8:02. back to the desk. >> thank you. new this morning, we are now getting word that murder charges have been filed in the 1976 cold case killings of two bay area women. ktvu's alex savidge live in redwood city. it's now known as the gypsy hill killings? >> reporter: dave, good morning to you. dna was the key in this case, and that's what allowed authorities here in san mateo county to file murder charges against a man who was already behind bars up in oregon. we will show you his photo

here. late last night detectives extradited this man, 66-year- old rodney halbower, from oregon. a prison there. he was serving time for attempted murder. he has now been charged with murdering two women here in the bay area back in 1976. now, halbower had been labeled a person of interest, but a recent review of cold case dna linked him to those two stabbing deaths. you may remember a total of six women were killed in what became known as the gypsy hill murders. the victims were from pacifica, millbrae, daly city, and reno. one of those victims was found near gypsy hill road in pacifica. now, prosecutors say halbower is not being charged with all of those crimes. he is expected to make his first court appearance here in a courthouse in san mateo county at 1:30 this afternoon, and then this morning, later on this morning at 11:00 san mateo county sheriff's office along with prosecutors here in san mateo county and the fbi, among others, are expected to hold a

news conference, dave, and they will be offering more details on this cold case. again, a man now charged with murder here in connection with the gypsy hill murders. >> all right. alex savidge live from redwood city. thank you. time is 8:03. we are learning more this morning about what prompted a san mateo police officer to run over two aggressive pit bulls, leaving one of the dogs dead. after 9:30 yesterday morning police received a call from a man saying he had been attacked by the dogs near north clairemont street. when officers arrived they saw the dogs attack a landscaper and then run towards two women with young children. police tried to distract the dogs and the dogs began to attack the patrol car. when the dogs took off running towards a school, one of the officers hit the dogs with his patrol car. one of the dogs was killed instantly. the second was injured and taken away from animal control officers. now, these are photos of the landscaper's leaf blower on the left, which was bitten by the dogs, and the door of the

officer's patrol car. you can see some marks there. police say a woman was also bitten by both dogs on her arms and legs before officers arrived. she was treated and released at the scene. time is 8:04. a violent night in oakland. new information this important. oakland police investigating whether a series of shootings are connected. a total of six people were shot. around 9 p.m. two people were shot on 88th avenue and b streets. minutes later two more people were shot at 60th avenue. a fifth person was shot at 105th avenue in san leandro street. and the sixth person, a woman, went to highland hospital on her own. police say she was shot at 10:20 last night on 15th street. police say all the victims are believed to be in stable condition. investigators now want to determine if any of the shootings are connected to one another. the uc regents meet again this morning in san francisco. now, the situation has pitted

governor jerry brown against uc president janet napolitano. napolitano says tuition hike is needed to raise $220 million for the uc system. governor brown's administration says uc needs to cut spending, including administrative pay. >> we are using students as pawns in this game. putting a gun to their held. threatening them and their families with tuition increase unless sacramento acts and substantially increases the general fund contribution. >> now, the governor has asked to form a committee that would include just him and napolitano. he wants to analyze the finances before setting state funding levels. the regents are expected to vote on that request today. 8:07. a berkeley pot club operator says he will fight city hall's order to shut down after it declared his business a pubilc nuisance. it is located on san pablo in a commercial district.

last night the city council voted 7-2 to shut down the club. now, there are no signs identifying the dispensary from the outside, but neighbors have complained about long lines of people standing outside and members selling drugs on the streets. the city also says the club is not in an area where marijuana businesses are allowed. >> because the property is located in a commercial zoning district it's prohibited. >> we have to keep up the fight. we have to keep up the fight not even any more just because of medical marijuana and the safe access for patients, but almost for our own dignity. >> that man, the owner, christopher smith, is looking into what legal action he can take to keep the club open. remember the bad smelling chemical used in biology class to preserve dissected animals? according to a new study, e-cigarettes contain a lot of that chemical.

it's called formaldehyde. researchers say 15 times more form ald high, a known carcinogen, is found in e-cigarettes compared to traditional cigarettes. the study published in the new england journal of medicine says the exposure to formaldehyde could put long-term e-cig users at a greater risk for cancer than long-term cigarette users. they say users would never smoke as much or as often as researchers tested. >> and the debate goes on. time is 8:08. still ahead, more measles cases here in the bay area all linked to that outbreak at disneyland parks. coming up in 22 minutes, the warning public health officials are making in the wake of these new cases. we are live on the track at o.co coliseum. we are getting ready to talk about supercross this morning.

stay tuned. we will give you a sneak preview. >> looks pretty cool. right now traffic is moving along well, relatively well. i don't think we see any of that on the roads. northbound 280 getting up to highway 17 is a little slow. we will tell you why it's slow into the valley. well, a lot of cloud cover over us, but no rain with this system. although we may get some rain early next week. you might be surprised where it's coming from. get ready for a warm weekend before then.

about 90 minutes ago, belichick said he didn't know how some of the patriots' footballs in last sunday's game ended up being deflated by two pounds apiece. that gave a better grip in the cold weather. belichick says the patriots are cooperating with the nfl's investigation and from now on, he says, the team will overinflate footballs to account for a loss of air pressure during a game. the patriots' quarterback and san mateo native tom brady, he has called a news conference for 1:00 pacific time today. he will talk about whether he knew whether footballs were underinflated. carl's jr. is catching some heat. it's about a new and kind of racy ad for the super bowl. >> nothing between me and my 100% all natural juicy grass fed beef. >> tori? >> wow. >> this commercial for the fast

food's all natural hamburger will be airing during the super bowl. now, advertising executives say carl's jr. is banking on sexual innuendos, while other companies are toning down their commercials this year. critics say the ad sets feminism back for decades. in the past, some sexy carl's jr.'s ads included kate upton and paris hilton. this may top those. >> moving on. 8:14. the roar of motorcycle engines will be heard at the oakland coliseum this saturday night as the monster energy supercross comes to the bay area. but this morning we have a special treat for extreme sports fans, sports lovers, as well as non-sports fans. let's go live to the come seem where ktvu daredevil brian flores is there. i tried so hard to get you to ride a bike. >> reporter: no, no, no, you do not want to see that. i have some really weird requests. you do not want to see me on a

we were talking earlier about it's not just riding a dirt bike. you have to do physical conditioning, right? >> yeah, the physical aspect is training. you are almost like a ufc fighter. you are running, hitting the gym, on your bicycle for cardio. >> reporter: then you go from different cities to cities all across the country. is this going toability same track throughout the -- going to be the same track throughout the cities? >> no. they make the track from staff. >> reporter: all right. could you rev this up real quick? >> sure. >> reporter: you guys hear this thing? >> [engine revving]. >> reporter: i love it. ama. monster energy ama supercross. if you have never been, it is so much fun for the entire family. look at these jumps. they are going 60, 65 miles an hour. getting as high as 70 feet in the air.

this saturday afternoon and evening right here at o.co coliseum. >> they make it look so easy, but i know it's harder. >> reporter: it is harder. i am not going on one of these. >> i know. we tried. there is these rules, not allowed to do that. thank you. right now we want to back to dave. >> tori. time is 8:17. let's check in with sal. he is stationary, but watching our commute. you are watching highway 24, too? >> we are. westbound 24 traffic is going to be moderate literally heavy in -- moderately heavy in pleasant hill. westbound to 20. i think we have a picture of it? unless it's fogged in. there it is. 24 westbound not bad as you drive through. can you see traffic is looking pretty good as you drive into the tunnel. but right here in pleasant hill near the bart station it is slow. at the bay bridge toll plaza there has been some improvement, but it's still about a 20-

minute wait before you make it onto that span. no major issues. now, i want to look at the south bay and getting to it from the nimitz freeway. you can see as i drag the map from hayward all the way to milpitas we have slow traffic. then we bring the south bay into focus here. 101 and 85 are slowest. 280 is slow right near highway 17. now at 8:18, let's if to steve. sal, thank you. mostly cloudy skies out there. a little bit of fog. more so in concord and napa airport. mainly high clouds associated with a weak system and the fog getting helped along from the valley by a rather robust easterly breeze for some and down right windy for others. in oakland hills 24 to 35 miles per hour. especially coming off the caldicot. it's another dry start. last january was the driest ever in san francisco. only .06. this one is running drier. our only hope looks to be around next tuesday and wednesday. coming up from baja.

what? i know. before we get there a warmer pattern. everyone gets in on it by friday. no doubt about it. saturday and sunday very warm. unseasonally warm. 5,000 feet forecast models are painting 68 degrees, which is not something you see in january. that's what we're going to get. cloudy to mostly cloudy. looks like the back edge of this system is moving into northwest sonoma county. morning clouds. 30s, 40s on the temps. i had a few 30s for a while. now they are settling into the 40s and a couple of 50s. that breeze has been decent parts of san francisco from fisherman's wharf to the sunset district and richmond and the golden gate. 40s on the temps. la honda at 48 degrees. a lot of 40s. there were some 30s. east 13. gusting to 21. napa airport, east oakland at 13. again right above the caldicot 34. gusts at the golden gate 31. 20s up in the mountains. also up in reno.

sacramento and monteray and fresno, and 45234 las vegas. our system falls apart. the east wind pretty much kills it. it came like that. so some high clouds. mostly cloudy here in the morning. mostly cloudy to partly cloudy by this afternoon. once that fog burns off it will be just like the last couple of days. warmer weather friday and much warmer as we go into saturday an sunday. some of the early forecasted highs, this is mainly going to be -- i mean, everybody will be in on it. the warmest temps on the coast, santa cruz 77. maybe 80 degrees. if you have plans at the monterey peninsula, take the sunscreen. a low off baja will tap into some moisture and the forecast models bring the clouds in and one brings decent rain. wouldn't be until tuesday. right there. to get this kind of a pattern in january, i don't think i have ever seen it. usually something like that from the south would be in july, august, or september. but not january. there are hints maybe early february we might get a pattern change. i will believe that when i see the whites of its eyes.

clouds. hazy. windy for some. upper 50s, low 60s to the east. mid 60s for some. upper 60s for others. oakland downtown should be rather mild to warm with that offshore breeze. even santa cruz into the upper 60s. tomorrow all 70s and maybe near 80 by saturday. 60s on the peninsula. half moon bay at 66 today. so warmer weather is on the way. boy, maybe record-setting warm by the weekend. then we will focus our attention and see if that rain moves in from the south. >> thank you. >> anything we can do to encourage it? >> the only rain in january came up from baja. that's not something -- i don't think i have ever seen it. >> thank you, steve. it is 8:21. the scientists who control the so-called doomsday clock have just moved the hands closer to midnight. >> really? >> yeah, the university of chicago held a press conference about 20 minutes ago. the clock has been set at five minutes until midnight since 2012. it's now three minutes until midnight. the group says climate change

and arsenals of nuclear weapons pose a threat to every human being on earth. the bulletin of the atomic scientists created the clock in 1947 to symbolize how close humanity is to a global disaster. >> yeah. and you just heard steve's forecast. strange stuff. >> um-hmm. time is 8:22. racing against time. time to -- dying birds in the san francisco bay. what we now know about that mystery substance that's hurting and even killing hundreds of birds. >> they are all staring at me. and then after that, the other kids were laughing. >> a fifth grader says his teacher made him take off his clothes in front of other students. the reason he says the teacher did it and what his mom and the school are doing about it.

it is 8:25. justice department lawyers are expected to announce they have decided not to recommend charges against the police officer who shot and killed michael brown. law enforcement officials say fbi investigators found no evidence to support self-rights charges against ferguson, missouri police officer darren wilson. he actually left the force last year. officials say the fbi interviewed more man 200 people and analyzed evidence from the august shooting. to pursue charges, the justice department would need to prove officer wilson intended to

violate brown's civil rights. 8:25. the auburn school district investigating claims made by a 10-year-old boy who says his fifth grade teacher made him take off all his clothes right in front of other students last week. >> she told me to take off my sweater and my shoes, my shirt and my socks. and right when she said to take off my socks i told her, no, you're not my mom. >> now, the boy says the teacher at rock cream elementary school did it to see it was lying about stealing homework passes. he says it embarrassed him and fellow classmates laughed at him. his mother is taking him out and may even sue the school. >> we are spanish people. i feel discriminated. >> we take our time to ensure that we understand exactly what happened. >> the school superintendent also said she doesn't know how

long the investigation will take. time now 8:26. are you cheating on your spouse financially? after the break the surprising new study about how many americans are stashing their cash and which gender does it more. but first. >> new cases of measles in california and how many are infected in the bay area. we'll tell you what doctors are recommending even for those who are already vaccinated. . kruk

good morning. welcome back to "mornings on 2". thursday, january 22nd. i am dave clark. glad you are with us. let's check weather and traffic. >> a lot going on, dave.

we have the fog out for some. it's a roaring east breeze for others. petaluma, golden gate bridge, oakland hills. others it's calm. we have a system moving through. it's very weak. it's not doing much. giving us a lot of cloud cover, not much else. we will see mostly sunny skies. mild to warm on the coast. still a rather cool system holding on to a lot of cloud cover here. 40s on the temps or 50s. a couple of upper 30s. saratoga 40. 30s for morgan hill and gilroy. they are kind of on their own there. there is more 40s than anything else. a decent offshore breeze in san francisco. 20 to 30 miles per hour from the golden gate bridge out to the richmond sunset district. our system falling apart. everything is pointing towards what looks to be a warm-up today and a very warm week. unseasonly warm for this time of year. near 80 possible for monterey and santa cruz this weekend. morning fog. windy for some. 50s, 60s. tomorrow is the big day when the temperatures start to go up,

up, up. sal. i have been listening. a couple issues here, but no big issues yet? >> we have a couple of issues, steve. we have a crash in an unusual direction northbound 680 at vargas. it's an overturned vehicle. you don't normally see it this time of the morning, any slow traffic coming through here. you can see it is, obviouslile, slow. the accident is just out of camera view. but it is causing an unusual backup. you know, the unusual back-ups are the ones that really three people off. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza now and show you the traffic is going to be busy as you drive through there. there are no major problems on the bridge itself. i do want to mention in the oakland hills, highway 13 northbound at carson, that's an exit just after highway 13, that off-ramp is blocked by a downed tree. so you are going to have to go up to the next off-ramp instead or perhaps use a different way.

on tuesday mark levine present add bill that would fast track the entire project. the price tag is estimated at around $60 million and would be paid for by the tolls. we know one frequent user of that bridge, pam cook. we need to make sure it passes her approval, too. >> she is not sold on it entirely. there is a student from texas who takes being away at college to a whole new level of fun. that's a good idea. >> really hard at work. after the break, how he really transformed his college dorm into a fun zone.
