there's still a lot of oil in the santa barbara channel. in fact, i was out there a couple of years ago walking on the beach. i would recommend wearing shoes if you walk on the beach because there's a lot of tar balls on the sand and i'm not sure that's from the old spill. there's a lot of oil out there. and what's interesting. here pictured on the right is a production profile of what production could look like from a project. you can see the area under that curve is 1.5 billion barrels. that's only about a tenth of the amount of oil in california. and that's what we look at in this study. there's been a number of recent technological advances. that are sort of extensions of this idea of horizontal drilling where you can drill down and then drill down horizontally through laterally through a resource deposit. there's another variation of this called slant drilling where you essentially can drill for offshore oil on land. and you can go out 7 to 8 miles offshore by putting a pad on land. this minimizes a lot of the environmental impacts and

santa barbara zoo keepers noticed the little guy had a limp. his leg wasn't growing right. they tried a splint. >> but that meant he couldn't learn to swim and be a normal penguin. >> reporter: so zoo keepers looked for a miracle. what was at first a strange request soon turned into a pet project for the local shoe company. >> what they did first was they made a hand-stitched boot. the minute we put it on, we knew we were on the right track. >> reporter: engineers here at teva are used to making high performance shoes for humans, but taking the technology in something like this and shrinking it down to a perfect fit for a penguin brought a new set of challenges. >> we had to make sure he could get up and down the rocks with traction on uneven surfaces. >> reporter: it took some trial and error but when his feet were finally happy. >> when the right boot got there, it was glory, hallelujah, because he just stepped up, put his chest out. >> the best part was he could get in the water and swim. really improved his quality of life. >> reporter: oh, how his life has changed. luc

i am 19 years old, and i was born and raised in santa barbara. i've been labeled as a gang member down here. if i hadn't met dr. rios, i honestly think i would have probably been in jail by now. >> reporter: miguel asked us not to use his last name. he first met professor rios about two years ago, when he took part in a sociology study. >> i felt like i can relate to him. so he knew what we were about, you know, and he knows where we come from. and he knows what... he knows how to come at us, you know. at what level of respect to come at us. >> reporter: miguel's two older brothers were in gangs. he had his first interaction with the juvenile justice system at the age of 12 after he stole a bike. miguel never really liked going to class and eventually left school for good without a high school diploma. now that he's joined rios' program, though, miguel now aims to complete his g.e.d. and hopes to one day become a mechanic. >> i've seen miguel grow over the last couple of years. i've seen him become a leader in the community. >> miguel knows he's

in the hills of santa barbara county. it was surprising. the late president's house very modest just a few rooms. doesn't even have airconditioning. so i was reminded that ronald reagan, above all was a modest man who based his public policy and his life on common sense. the election this year is a lot like the lexington of 1980, you have a democratic president having trouble with the economy and a republic party trying to take advantage of that. back then reagan defeated carter because he spoke clearly. >> are you better off than you were four years ago, is it easier for you to go and buy things in the store than it was four years ago? >> is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? is america as respected throughout the world as it was? >> bill: obviously that sound bite is relevant today. is it not? but the g.o.p.'s message is muddled to say the least because of the hard-fought primary campaign. enter rick santorum who is making a major issue over the fact that religious americans ar

last year, 70, shark bites in santa barbara. a leading researcher it in santa cruz says in the 1980s and 90s sharks accounted for 80% of the mortality rate. now it is 30% and growing. >> if you take the current levels of mortality that we are seeing from all of the other factors, and you add this reason in shark mortality it definitely does not go well for continued recover of the sea otter population. something has to go down. >> scientists are trying to find out if sharks are behaving differently or sea otters are changing their patterns putting them in the path of sharks, attracting the predators. the answers come from groups with the knowledge. asking questioning about what, if anything can be done about it. >> researchers will launch their sea otter population in the spring. now, the idea of more sea otters are surviving the attacks or the situation is getting worse. in monterey, ktvu channel 2 news. >>> the authorities in sacramento are looking for a pair of pet store thieves who made off with the rare snake. watch the vide

that system that's going to be bringing heavy moisture towards the coast from ewe ree can towards santa barbara. the low itself is going to be dragging down along the coastline. not everything you see on the radar today is going to get into the higher elevations. a little bit of snowfall going on right now, especially south of lake tahoe. we'll see some chances at 6 to 12 inches at some of the highest peaks. there's a look at colorado as some of that snow is headed out of the area. i should mention a few of these spots with decent numbers. the bulk of the activity will come down across the area today. there's a look at temperatures this morning. 54 in san francisco. a look at the region. let's check outle. for the most part, the activity is headed south. so for the most part, lynn, again, we're now starting to see some of that rain. it will be work its way into l.a. today. >> thanks so much, todd. >>> also coming up, more greek foot dragging. netflix flexes newfound strength, and time runs out on a celebrated squader. >>> plus, frustrated post-game comments send this super model to the dog hous

my colleagues have heard me enadvocate santa barbara's devastated 1969 oil spill before. and that's because it galvanized central coast residents and vertly -- virtually the whole state of california against more offshore drilling. we were outraged by the damage to the environment and the wildlife, to our economy. and we understood the havoc that similar blowouts would have upon our economy, including tourism and fishing industries. and that's why california permanently banned new oil and gas leasing in state waters in 1994. it's why californians fought to pass groundbreaking environmental laws like the national environmental policy act and the coastal zone management act. it's why some 24 city and county governments including both santa barbara and ventura counties have passed measures requiring voter approval before any new onshore facilities to support offshore drilling could be built. and that's why in 2008 then republican governor schwartz neglect told president bush and -- schwarzenegger told president bush and congress to oppose new drilling off the west coast. mos

i went to school at uc santa barbara, graduated in 19988 -- 1988. i have lived in the excelsior since 1999. i have had lots of different jobs, but my main job is doing social work force and a disco, i have been a community organizer, i worked at a labor organization supporting janitor's working in our high- rise buildings. i was a legislative aide before .wr. i got to see how it all work from the outside, community organizations supporting young people, children, families, working for labor, and saw how city hall could be an effective tool for change and then considered running in 2007, 2008, and somehow, i made it. >> you were raised in los angeles, moved to the east coast. what made you want to come back and live in san francisco? >> i love cities. i never felt like i lived in a city in los angeles, but when i lived in massachusetts, where i live, i was close to boston. i had such a great time in boston but i did not like massachusetts so much because it was cold, the culture was foreign to me. when i came to san francisco, the first time i came,

she started at the age of 5 near her home in santa barbara, california. it helped that her mom was an olympic swimmer and the beach was nearby. >> i think the thing that drew me into it was i live right on a perfect little fun wave, so it was really easy for me to just pick up my board and go out and surf all the time. >> by the age of 16, lakey was the top female pick for the u.s.a. surf team. since she's homeschooled, she's able to travel the world for the top competitions. lakey's mastered some amazing techniques -- like this one. >> where you're going on the wave and then you launch into the air and grab your board and do a 360 and then land back on the wave. >> that's called an air reverse. like just about all individual sports, surfing is judged on a combination of factors. >> to judge competitive surfing, it's on a scale from 1 to 10 -- 10 being the best, 0.1 being the worst. it depends on the wave and what the wave offers you. but most of the time, it's how well you surfed the wave, so if you maximized every opportunity you got. they would want to

ten cities on the mainland with the highest gas prices are all in california, leading off with santa barbara at $4.11. the candidates running for the republican nomination for president were critical of gas prices today. a week from today there are primaries in arizona and michigan. the latest polling in arizona shows mitt romney with a four- point lead over rick santorum-- 36% to 32%. jan crawford is in tempe tonight and, jan, what are you hearing about the race in arizona? >> reporter: scott, sources in romney's campaign tell me they think his lead may actually be more than four points and that's because of the high percentage of early voting that occurs in this state. here in maricopa county, for example, 60% of the state's population, nearly 170,000 people have already voted. a lot of that before the big santorum surge. so while santorum was out campaigning hard today as the true conservative, for a lot of these voters it's too late. >> pelley: and jan, in romney's home state of michigan, he's trailing santorum by five points. 37% to 32%. what's romney saying about his prospects of losin

she was at the university of california, santa barbara - she was a teaching assistant when i was an undergrad, and gave me a b+, which i'll get even with her for. but anyway, she is a practicing mystic - she is a scholar who studies it, but she's very much in the mystical tradition. so just a few words, a short roll-in from professor wendy wright. >> i think people are most familiar with figures like teresa of ahumada, some of the great - john of the cross, these great carmelite mystics of the tradition whose writings, especially as they attempt to describe the interior experience of this intimacy and these various dimensions - in other words, they talk about an interior path, an interior castle, or a process of going - the intimacy with god, and the writings of these peoples have been very influential. people have responded to them because spiritual journey is not only exterior and not only has to do with ideas and who they're with, but it also has to do with a growing sense of - again, that gathering of one's own energies around the focal point of god, and that those are - in the christian
