while inside this gym, branson has built a girls volleyball dynasty.y, the lady vols go for not one, two, three, but its fourth straight division five state championship. that's right. a four-peat. like the saying, it's deja vu all over again. as they will face tricity christian of san diego which has tasted defeat to branson each of the last three years. >> it's our mentality because we want it so bad. sometimes you can have the talent but not quite mentally there all the time but i think this team, we want it more than anything. >> reporter: hard to believe just a few years ago, this program was in relative obscurity. >> yeah, you could get p.e. credit but that was about it. >> reporter: then michelle brazil showed up and everything changed. three years, three state titles. record of 103-13. >> we know that teams are definitely gunning for us but at the same time, it's such a privilege to be in the position. not a lot of teams get to be in the position. >> reporter: every match is like a play-off as they measure up. the vols record this season 41- 3.

the match point for branson volleyball on the left and right. mckenna, the sob shot and that's it. four straight years the branson bulls beat tricity christian to win the division 5 state championship. that was this morning down in ervine. a school of 300, and you have to go to this tiny school in ross california. >> four in a row right. >> four in a row. >> thank you much. >>> big story of course today is the weather and paul's keeping an eye on that for us. >> here's a look at the radar, the rain is already here. this is ahead of round 3. this is too many to count, so we're going to show you here, the rainfall that's out there. doppler showing heavy rainfall offshore, so watch out marin county. in the city of san francisco, half-moon bay, all the way north to santa rosa. it's going to pick up this evening and everybody gets the heavy rain overnight tonight. pretty rough driving for lunch tomorrow. and we'll see you back here in a half hour. until then our news updates are on cbssf.com. good night. ,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, >> tonight, strike three for the west coast after a pounding by t

>> carl, as we speak, so is richard branson.atellite from somewhere in the caribbean. the press conference taking place in new york city. there's richard anderson who has just taken the podium here in new york city. they're going to be announcing not only the outline of the terms of this deal but a little bit of the philosophy behind why delta is buying this stake. let's take a look at the terms of the deal. delta buying 49% stake in virgin atlantic. basically buying the singapore airline stake. that's $360 million is how much it's costing. the virgin atlantic brand remains. that's critical here. just a few minutes ago richard branson said ignore all the speculation that i'm going somewhere. i'm going nowhere. he plans to remain ceo of virgin atlantic. why is delta doing this? this is all about increasing exposure to the london market. specifically the slots at heath row. when you look at all the flights that are going to be added to the delta network through its alliance here with virgin atlantic from the new york market, this

back in 2000, we saw richard branson -- sir richard branson -- selling 49% of his virgin airline group to singapore airlines. singapore now trying to sell that. they paid nearly $1 billion for it in 2000. we don't have a price yet. a lot of talk about delta might be interested. part of the reason that gives them -- some of their 304 takeoff and landing slots that virgin has into london's heathrow airport. the busiest hub in the world, i think. back to you. >> well, if they get it, i hope they don't affect virgin because it's the best way to get to london. geoff cutmore live from london, we appreciate that. >>> as always, shoot us an e-mail, waytooearly@msnbc.com and let us know why you are up right now. or text "awake" followed by your response to 622639. we'll read the best responses. we've got to wake you up in the studio, too. >>> meanwhile, still ahead on "way too early" -- >> play fake and now sanchez fires, and it's intercepted again. >> mark sanchez getting benched after throwing three first-half interceptions. and ironically, tim tebow did not come in to save the day. who did?

bonneville: and sybil and branson, of course. they come back--an interesting sort of territory to play, because branson having been the chauffeur downstairs is now married to the daughter, so that creates a whole social unease and how you cope with that. branson: no, i don't agree, and i don't care who knows it! is there any way to shut him up? bonneville: i suppose an overarching theme is the family trying to find its feet again after the upsets of the war. so, there's still plenty to play for. ha ha! on pbs its a stunning new season starting with the impossible to resist downton abbey. violet: nothing succeeds like excess. and an engrossing story of defiance and courage from american experience. douglass: it is not light that is needed, but fire! and a series filled with role models for all women clinton: we were breaking new ground. this season, there's only one place that can take you anyplace. attenborough: isn't it wonderful? pbs for artists, one tremendous thing about pbs is that it makes art accessible by putting it on a

sir richard branson is "outfront." let's go "outfront." good evening, everyone. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, a bright idea. brought to us by the liberal former governor of vermont, howard dean. a man who brought us the scream heard around the world when reran for president. dean says let's face it, america, tacks need to go up for everyone. now, this might not be what you expect from someone like howard dean. it's certainly not the president's position or the position of most americans. another new poll out today shows that most people like the president's idea of only raising taxes on other people. specifically, the top 2%. the problem is according to the congressional research service, the math doesn't add up. that tax hike would only give $678 billion in additional revenue over ten years, now, remember, we're $16 trillion in the debt. now, if we go with howard dean's idea, that gets us $2.8 trillion or about 17% of our debt. adam davidson is the cofounder of planet money and he did the math. he wrote in "the new york times" a while ago, a set of numbers that has stuck

. >> jennifer: but will we see you, sam, branson on the road? >> a bit.is more about the people in the film. >> jennifer: that was a conversation i had with sam branson earlier. he is the producer of "breaking the taboo." there are some ideas that don't (vo) she gets the comedians laughing and the thinkers thinking. >>ok, so there's wiggle room in the ten commandments, that's what you're saying. (vo) she's joy behar. >>current will let me say anything. ♪ >> jennifer: every year time magazine chooses its person of the year. here to tell you who it is is someone who it certatainly isn't. our own, brett ehrlich. >> time magazine has announced its person of the year and it is -- wait for it please -- barack obama. carved in butter. it's true america actually likes the president. so the decision is a good idea. but as noble prize winner once wrote . . . and wouldn't you know it my highly trained flying cat olivia shown here was able to infiltrate time magazine's headquarters and come up with bad ideas. chris christie was on the list for person of the year but

. >> i got my first and best christmas present, richard branson gave he the shift shirt off his back,a football team, he put on the back, i'm number one,. neil: that is a pairing i would have never envisioned, you and richard branson. >> wilbur thank you very much. yestery we told that you government is protecting birds by finding oil companies neil: in tonight's let me be brief. environmentalists right now, did you hear about this, epa is forcing taxpayer to clean up mess that bankrupt or gone companies left in their town, for some homeowners could add up to tens of thousands of dollars to their tax bill. is that right? the government and businesses should pick up the tab but attorney kelly said that taxpayers should be responsible, kelly explain. >> well, this thing is who else will pay for it? government does not have the money. come from tax dollars, if the particular instance we're takg about, it is an area in philadelphia where, there is lead in the ground, and homeowners are getting tax breaks, and this is 150 years in the community they got jobs from the companies. >> all righ

richard branson's program, he tells everyone about it. in almost every other program, they don't want to leave that information. if you bring in some kids for the summer, they will invariably tell their classmates when they go back to school things they are not supposed to. we always thought that was too risky and we were never able to do part-time or summer hire. we never did get into the education thing at all. we are focused on doing a job. my point on education is that there is something revolutionary that needs to happen. if you look now in the internet age and realize the rate at which a student downloads information -- the people who are really smart are bored. i think within maybe 20-25 years, you won't see a classroom typically like we do, where you see everybody goes to a classroom. it is for that reason, it is not a good thing to teach people who are going to be innovators later on. next question. >> thank you very much for your talk. what skills, academic, etc., do you need at early ages to facilitate creativity and innovation

also sat down with cnn founder ted turner and richard branson, we had a discussion on clean energy.ing out the interviews and "cnn newsroom" in the days to come. tomorrow my interview with richard branson where he enters the political fray. >> i think if the republican party could change so that you know they were fiscally astute but really cared about the individual they cared as much about the gay person living in america, as the single mother, as the, you know, as the woman that you know can't -- you know just can't have her eighth child or ninth child, et cetera, et cetera, just being a little more caring and understanding, then i think republicans could become electable. >> that interview airing tomorrow. right here on cnn. >>> they grabbed our attention 2012. vote for the top ten most intriguing people of the year. logon to cnn.com/intriguing. we'll announce results monday december 24th. a record settlement but no prosecution at global banking giant hsbc. admits it failed to stop money laundering by mexican drug cartels and terrorism financiers.
