much damage at the school. but dave, it does appear as though it was an accidental fire. in all likelihood caused by a faulty electrical system. >> all right, alex savidge live in santa rosa. thank you. oakland police have released this sketch of the man accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy who was on his way home from school. the suspect is described as latino, 40 to 50 years old. 5'7" with a slim build. he has salt and pepper hair and beard and police say he looked unkempt. he was wearing a brown leather jacket and black pants. the alleged assault happened january 22nd as the boy was walking home from school on 98th avenue. the boy ran away and escaped running his parents. a kensington police sergeant has been suspended after his badge, handcuffs and handgun were stolen by an alleged prostitute in reno last

it's time for a bigger discussion about food. be part of the conversation at discover.monsanto.com ♪ this is a different kind of airline. one that invented low fares so everyone could fly. one that decides where to go next by putting your needs first. and knows people are its most powerful fuel. some say we do things differently. we say, why would we do things any other way?

without a heart, it's just a machine.

today, all the west coast ports are expected to be back open for business after a weekend shutdown. we just got off the phone confirming oakland's port will be open. the pacific maritime associate operates the terminals and shipping companies at the 29 west coast parties. the association says union workers have engaged in a work slowdown. a contract expired last june. the two sides have not been able to reach a new agreement. so this could cost the u.s. economy $2 billion a day. that's a lot of money. joining us now is tom vacar, who has been following reporting on this. you've covered the issues on the port for years. some of the articles i was reading today. nasty words going back and for the. they are talking about vindictive work slowdown, just because the ports are reopening, i'm thinking everyone is not solved?

>> remember the b.a.r.t. negotiation? same deal here. the pacific maritime association, this is a conner consortium of all of those going in the shipping lines. they actually provide the orders for work that need to be done by the international long shore workers union. what's happened since about october, it's gotten bad to the point where pretty much at this point in time all of the ships that service between the west coast united states and asia, primarily china, are pretty much bunched up along the west coast. the strings of boats are no longer strings. they are a parking lot. they are either sitting in the bay, at the port of long beach, at a dock or orbiting off the coast. point of all of this being we've gotten to a point where the crunch is so bad that poor operations are almost the standstill. so today the port of the pacific maritime association said they are opening the ports but they do expect that the slowdown will not be

continuing. i think that's an unreasonable expectation and the semishut down that we saw over the weekend, may lead to a full- blown shutdown of the ports within days now. main even hours. >> people are sitting at home and wondering how the average person will be affected. >> they already have in some ways. for example, produce coming in from asia and we have we import a lot of -- we import a lot of it. a lot of it has not been delivered. a lot of icy dying on the docks and the boats. the same for the exports. a lot of agricultural people. what they have to do is sell them at fire sale prices domestically or any other way they can sell them.

they have either had to go to flying parts in or curtail operations, lay off ships or ships of people because they can no longer build what they need to build. >> this has been going on since october. what do you think it will take to end the labor dispute? >> i don't know it's endable. both side had very hardened positions. some of the things that the long shore workers are asking for are simply unacceptable to the pma and vice versa. at some point, there has to be blood letting. the last time we had that was in 2002. at that time, it lasted for ten days. it was a mess. this has lasted for month. this may well threaten the viability of the ports. ships may be going to the east coast to the gulf coast. there's a lot at stake.

just the port of oakland, 70,000 people depend on their jobs at the port of oakland. >> it's incredible how it's intertwined. you will come back next hour. >> hope to be able to update you on real important stuff. >> appreciate it, tom. well, still ahead -- another big issue today, diversity in the work force. it will be the topic of a huge conference in silicon valley tomorrow. the mountain view chamber of commerce will be hosting the event at the my cre soft campus -- cry mow soft campus -- microsoft campus. i'm honored to be a speaker. other speakers, representatives from cisco, intel, and other technology companies. a big conference on the microsoft campus tomorrow. >> and some really big topics, silicon valley is at the forefront trying to deal with.

we want to check in with sal, keeping a close eye on the commute and some problems out there. >> good morning to you. we're looking at a commute where traffic will be busy in many areas. we have a little extra in some commutes. let's take a look at highway 24. it looks like it's very slow in la fayette. it will stay that way all the way up to the tunnel. not a lot going on when it comes to crashes along the stretch. but you will see some slow traffic to be sure getting up to the tunnel. also looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, we had an earlier stall. that's gone. it was gone rather quickly. it kind of caused slower than usual traffic on the upper deck of the bay bridge. looking at the rest of contra costa. 680 is slow from 242. according to the road sensors. it stays that way into danville and alamo and if you are looking at the eastshore freeway, it slows west of highway 4, all the way down to

berkeley. i do want to remind you that highway 9 is closed because of a landslide and power lines down. that will be today and tomorrow as well. let's go to steve. thank you, sal. we have a little bit of a calming down. breezy, blustery. but not nearly as windy as friday. most of the weekend, i think this was a wind event. but there were decent totals. our system is moving north. mendocino county, lake county more in line for rain than anybody else. rainfall totals, i do believe -- i can't ever remember, i think this is my first emeryville rain totaling, thank you, ronald henry. 2.60. about time.

everything is lifting north. sun, clouds, showers, breezy. and mild to warm if you get that sun, i mean, it can feel like we're in houston in august. not that bad. but more sun to the south. temperatures, 60s. these are well above average for the lows and they are near average but still slightly above on the highs. guess what. we're going to accelerate those. the only fly in the ointment will be fog. but the wind has to die down first. deal with that when this shows up. probably wednesday. >> sunny and, you know -- >> i know. they are talking about amazing snow and cold hitting the northeast this entire week, next seven to ten days. arctic blast, boston new york. >> incredible. i spoke to my brother in boston. they spent all weekend shoveling their driveway. now they have to do it again. >> next rain around the 20th. >> for us. all right. 7:23. it's a true example of neighbors helping neighbors.

he died. he was arrested over a week ago on suspicion of murder involving the grisly discovery of a man's torso in a suitcase on 11th and mission street. the case is very much an active investigation. still still have a lot of questions that need to be answered. was there a second suspect? had officers arrested the among person? a lot out there. here's what what one former prosecutor told us. >> i'm sure police are tracking down other parts of missing persons right now. to the extent that you can identify missing persons and take dna samples from interest -- from their relatives, you can compare that. not an easy investigation. >> reporter: andrus 'public defender learned about his death from the media and said i'm sorry to learn that mark andrus has died. during the short time, i represented him, i found him to be a kind and engaging person. police are still trying to

identify the dead man from the suitcase and who he was with before he was killed. that will likely require a lot of forensic work. as far as andrus died, we don't have an official causer why he admitted himself in the hospital. one of his friends said he seemed to be deeply affected by his arrest. dave? >> janine de la vega, thank you, in san francisco. we'll talk to you later. 7:38. one of two men arrested with a street racing crash in san jose that killed a jogger will face a crash. gab preel -- gave brie el -- gab brie -- gabe esparza is due in court today. 40 homes have been burning.

san mateo and dumbarton bridges. san mateo bridge is moderately avenue. dumbarton bridge slow. northbound 101 getting up to the airport, not too bad from san mateo up to the san bruno area. highway 9 at 35 closed. major closure as wears that a tree that came down. also part of the hillside gave way. it will take a couple of days or almost a couple of days for them to reopen. the chp says they don't expect them to reopen until tomorrow morning. ten before 8:00. let's go to steve. thank you, sir. we have a situation calming down. some of the rain totals coming in and finally cobb mountain in lake county had two reports, back to back from friday into early monday morning. 15 inches of rain. how about that? no i'm not kidding. jim in cobb mountain said i'm not a weather man. but 14.75. another one came in at 15. they mirror each other.

because one time my car actually spinned after the rain. after that, i carefully drive. >> the tow truck drivers say there were about three crashes per hour. the chp says a lot of drivers were just going too fast and the roads were slick since we haven't had rain in more than a month. high winds caused many flights to be canceled in and out of sfo. winds up to 45 miles per hour made it too dangerous for plans to land and take off. >> coming in, it was rough. we hit turbulence. >> even though scattered showers and winds are expected, sfo does not expect it to impact flights. they have moved their focus to the storm on the east coast which has already canceled 30 flights. well, this morning, parents

fire they will have half as much room and it will be a tight squeeze. last night it was the scene as teachers were reabrainging the classrooms and getting supplies ready for the school day. all. damage was done late saturday night during a fire that broke out here in the building. it turned through five rooms, destroying supplies like construction paper, puzzles, glue. many of those materials were brought with money from a grant the school received. this morning, i talked to one woman who showed up this morning. >> i can't believe that happened. devin has been coming here for a year and the owners are awesome. i just love this place. i'm really sad this happened. >> reporter: and this school is looking for donations and already they have seen a huge outpouring from community. people who have heard about the fire have shown up to drop off supplies to try to help out here. investigators are still working to come up with the exact cause of the fire.

but early reports suggest that it probably was an issue with the school's electrical system that started the fire over the weekend. but a lot of parents, dave, are thankful the police is open this morning. they are also quite relieved this fair didn't break out during the week when the kids were here. >> that's good to hear. alex savidge in santa rosa. thank you. meantime, oakland police have released this. it's a stech of the man accused -- sketch of the man accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year- old boy on his way home from school. now, take a look at this. the suspect described as latino, between 40 and 50 years old. about 5'7" with a slim build. his hair and beard is salt and pepper. police say he looked unkempt. he was wearing a brown leather jacket and black pants police say the happened as the boy was coming home on 98th avenue. the boy broke away, escaped and told his parents. the santa clara county district attorney may seek the death penalty in a case where a

the bored of oakland said all operations are back to normal. that's after all 29 ports were shut down the the pacific maritime association says union workers have engaged in a work slowdown. the dock workers contract expired last june. so far contract talks have not produced a new agreement. tom vacar has been covering this for months. you join us with more insight. what does it mean the ports have opened again? >> the union is doing work to rule. not violating the contract but just like anything, you get used to doing a job a certain way and you become more productive and that's a good thick and they say until we get

a contract, we're gonna work to rule. that's slowed things down by as much as 60%. if this continues and the backup continues with the ships, what will happen within hours, days, the employers, the pma, the maritime association will say forget it. we'll just go into a mode of shutdown and we'll go after that with wherever it goes. >> even if it's settled, how long would it take to get back to normal? >> i would say looking at the port situation, all of these lots, two, three, four months is probably a thing and remember in some of those containers are perishables. and the railroad won't deliver perishables to the port anymore because they say there's a high chance they won't be able to get their refrigerated carts back. >> it's a big mess. it seems like someone should step in the two sides agree.

>> mediator is a me aid -- mediator. if the port goes into a just town it's likely that the president obama will step in and they would declare an 80- day cooling off period. the court would have to order this to happen but almost certainly would do so. 80 days they would continue negotiations on all of that. what happens after that is very unclear if it went back into a shutdown road. but chances are it would not. we're that close to it. but it would be the president of the united states. >> that would need to do that. i assume you will be covering this story today. >> we'll be on it. the rest of the media is picking up on this. i'm glad to see that. a lot of people don't realize how much is at stake for them personally should this thing go down, the inability to buy certain things, and work because a lot of people will be laid off because they can't get

the parts and materials they need. there is a lot at stake here. $2trillion. 70% of the trade, with asia. >> all right. we'll look forward to further reports on this later today and in the future. thank you. >> will do. >> thank you. >> all right. 8:18. let's also get you to where you need to go this morning. sal, how are we looking out there now? >> well, slow in many areas. as a matter of fact, we've been talking about the slow commutes in the east bay. we're starting this time in san jose. along northbound 280 as you drive out of downtown, you will see slow traffic. it's very slow getting up to highway 17. we've had a couple of issues on the freeway. we've had some slow traffic throughout the south bay. northbound 280, we had a crash. northbound 87 we had some slow traffic at 280. 101 is not as bad. we go to the maps. i can show you that traffic on 101 is slow in sunnyvale but it's not that bad south of 280. 85, though, is -- and we have the big problem in the santa cruz mountains, highway 9 at

35, that intersection is closed because of a tree that came down. there was a landslide and power lines that are down. that will be closed until tomorrow morning -- tomorrow evening. it's taking a long time to get from the car carquinez bridge to the maize. a 40-minute delay into san francisco. that's a lot more than the 20, 25 minutes we normally see. steve, it's rough out there. let's go to you. sal, we have things calming down here. before i get to the weather, some of the morning runs are showing another major snowstorm thursday/friday for boston new york. some of the tweets come inning, i'm speechless, it shows a lot of snow. and then the arctic outbreak will kick in. there will be seven to ten days of this for the northeast, new york, boston, rhode island, you name it. they can't get out of it. we're hard pressed to get rain.
