but those decisions were resulting in me having a great career as an engineer at lawrence livermore national lab. and so the consolation prize to me, i kept trying, because my career was going in a great trajectory. the formula i was using was helping my personal career. and so the consolation was, what's the worst that's going to happen? i'm going to be a great engineer, which isn't too shby >> hinojosa: no, not at all. >> on the other , ths what i telthe kidsis you have to be caref if you want to be a professional soccer player, professional baseball player, what's the fallback position? my fallback position is i'm an engineer, and i'm going to have a great career as an engineer. they need to have a fallback and make sure they get a good education. >> hinojosa: right, but you also basically say if you knew how long it was going to take and what you needed to do and all the studying, you might have walk away. sometimes... do you feel that sometimes young kids, particularly latino kids, kids of color, sometimes close the doors on themselves? although, of course, whethey see you, when you com

. >> reporter: lawrence livermore lab scientists spent five years developing the technology they sayso precise in less than an hour they can trace a piece of produce back to the grower, the field, even the specific row it came from. >> that time is rapidly getting shorter. new technology that's being developed is in 10 minutes or less. >> reporter: a big motivator, crop contamination from listeria and e. coli. bay area entrepreneur anthony zaga rpos amarking it to growers. >> our product cost about $1 per 1,000 pounds of produce. >> reporter: cheaper than a nationwide produce recall. >> so the amount is insignificant compared to the liabilities in the event of an outbreak. >> reporter: a cantaloupe distributor in the central valley will never forget the listeria outbreak of 2011. nearly three people died and many more got sick from contaminated cantaloupe grown in colorado. >> tragedy we definitely don't want to live through again. >> reporter: his fruit wasn't contaminated not even close, but his company will participate in a dna tracks trial later this year. but he still has some u

microscopic dna sequences sourced from plant-based materials like seaweed mixed with sugar, lawrence livermoreentists spent five years developing the technology. one reason for the dna tracing? scientists can trace tainted produce that may contain list syria or e. coli in less than an hour. -- listeria or e. coli what's that thing? i moved our old security system out here to see if it could monitor the front yard. why don't you switch to xfinity home? i get live video monitoring and 24/7 professional monitoring that i can arm and disarm from anywhere. hear ye! the awkward teenage one has arrived!!!! don't be old fashioned. xfinity customers add xfinity home for $29.95 a month for 12 months. plus for a limited time, get a free security camera call 1800 xfinity or visit comcast.com/xfinityhome. i saw a commercial that said you can save $500 by switching to progressive. that was me, mom.

lawrence expressway is cleared from the roadway there. crash is on both sides of the san mateo bridge and cleared with sam the orange highlighting, antioch, discovery bay, livermoreovering around our camera shot and possibly some mist, maybe a little drizzle on the windshield. novato on the left shows you a slower drive from highway 37 and down through san rafael. typical build there and i want to show you the oakland shot as well, folks head north with the taillights past the coliseum, low clouds as well. we may lose sight of this camera shot for a couple minutes here and there. the deck itself the drivers will be all right but those low clouds hovering all over the place. >>> traffic might be one reason we often don't feel great about living here, one of the few reasons that people could complain about. when it comes to the state of happenis the state of california could be doing better. >> i don't believe this study. the state is nearly number 12 out of 50 when it comes to being happy. the new happy states rankings come from a gallup well-being survey. >> what states are technically the happiest? apparently alaska, speaking of the gold, where at least they kno
