as one of the sailors as the preseason of the america's cup. and so, i thought that was a really great synopssi., running from july 2012 to june of 2013. points of earned for each and the winner emerges at the end of 2013 and roll into the challenger series according to *f with the america cup final match. >> the first rigatta what is raise herd in the san francisco bay, in august. the winner was the oracal racing team. and so we will see how he holds up in the second running. so, again, beginning tuesday, october second, the marina green, america's cup village will be open every day from ten to seven and tuesday the second will be a practice day. wednesday the third will be match, racing qualifiers and match racing is where two teams go head to head. tuesday the fourth we will have quarter finals and then of course, we will have the practice session of the blue angels assuming that the weather is permitting for that. >> friday october fifth the blue angels will practice first and then at 4:00 there will be the match race quarter finals followed

are you happy with the plans for the america's cup? do you think the city should try it spend money to keep the 49ers? supervisor mar: did not get me started. i could go on for a long time. i think america's cup will help the whole area. i think the organizing committee has a big task to raise a lot of private sector money so it does not impact negatively on our general fund, but i do think the deal crafted by a lot of the enforcement is a good deal will help a lot of the parts of the city that need the help. it is also a lot of gauging of community groups and the yacht club saying that they want to provide better boating opportunities and education for young people in the mission district or, hopefully, in the mission or other places. but i know that as the america's cup moves forward, there are many community-based groups that want to be part of it. we recently had communications from the parks council wanting to ensure the swimming and blue and green projects could be created with the america's cup also encourages improvements of swi

they're holding a real history of the americas day. r lewis college was once a military fort, later turned into an indian boarding school and then turned state public school. due to a century-old promise made by the state of colorado, the college waives the tuition costs for all its native american students. today the college awards approximately 16% of the baccalaureate degrees earned by native american students in the nation. the waiver has changed the lives of thousands of native american students and in many ways, has come to define the college. but now it is being challenged at a time of state budget constraints. for lewis college graduates more native americans than any four- year college in the u.s. we're joined by three guests involved with the real history of the americas day. esther belin is a writing instructor here at fort lewis college, and a member of the navajo nation as well as an indigenous activist. she is a poet, won the american book award for her book of poetry. shirena trujillo long is coordinator of el centro de m

they took the very definition of america. trained by limited mines and vision and expanded that. why the music may be a little bit better, why you may be just a little fancier, think about it. this room has the same flourishing. that church basements had when they were planning and talking and plotting about the freedom of our people. this room right here has that same spirit as dusty smelly barns along a road that some call the underground railroad. who thought to expand the liberty of fellow citizens and america. you see, this is the spirit that gets me excited. when some of us and our nation were told you are not get enough, the spirit stood up and said "yes i am." when told you could not do, this is the spirit that said "yes, i can." this is the spirit to move along the road of freedom. that is the spirit in this room. y'all should feel it. this is the spirit when folks right to saddle them with shame, tell them that they were less than human, this is the spirit that stood up and said you may write to me down in history wi

has a more america has a moral voice america is looked at from the right you said it yourself america is looked at from around the world you're right romney was badly wrong really was saying the wrong things he wasn't thinking before before you open his mouth but on the other hand obama was silent so much i mean look at obama now in syria he hasn't shown any kind of leadership and so what would you suggest intervention would you suggest another war i would suggest leadership leadership is first of all to sound a clear moral voice things are wrong so the leaders have to have to leave the stage there are various ways of doing that this diplomacy this intervention this there are so many different things that can be done but obama time and time again has failed in showing a leadership romney that hasn't been any better we need in america the world needs an american president america is still the world's leading power it's still a moral voice and the woman needs an american president to be able to be able to stand up at the right time and say the right thing american ok pe

the bay. that's a gorgeous shot. america'sup, fleet week, and plenty of a's and giants action as we head throughout the next couple of days that is a classic san francisco view. all right. let's get you into the weather boards. next 48 hours, the high pressure that has been producing the heat for the past three days, that's going to gradually fade in the forecast. and here comes this area of low pressure offshore. the primary thing with in is going to help to keep that fog up against the coastline that will drop our temperatures a little bit for wednesday. but much larger drops expected for thursday and also for friday. so most notably, we're looking for a lot of the interior valleys to drop here. maybe some 20 to 30 degrees especially by about friday and saturday this upcoming week. so tomorrow we start to go down. but it's not going to be major. 92 in sunnyvale. 90 in morgan hill. so we could see numbers drop about 5 to 10 degrees. 93 in danville. 29 in pleasanton. 29 in walnut creek. 82 in hayward. 74 in san francisco. 77 a

a local teenager is being turned away by one of the most well known clubs in america -- the boy scouts. he was on the verge of becoming an eagle scout but his sexual orientation and politics have blocked his dream. cheryl hurd has the details. >> reporter: that's right. this subject is very controversial. i talked to one young man tonight and he is an eagle scout and he says because of the subject, he's very disappointed. >> i can't imagine what he must be going through. >> reporter: he says he knows what it takes to be an eagle scout. he says he achieved that honor several years ago and he says finding out that ryan was denied the award because he's gay is a travesty. >> the tradition in boy scouts, even though i'm an atheist, it wasn't a problem for me. so the boy scouts need to conform. >> reporter: late thursday, the boy scouts released a statement saying -- >> reporter: his mother fought back through an organization called change.org. she started a petition, which now has over 112,000 supporters. she wrote a letter saying her son was denied eagle scout status because he came out t

these are in the budget, are general fund moneys and reimbursable by america's cup organizing committee. if the cash collateral were to be drawn down in case the city couldn't meet its obligations or if there were additional funds, the additional 2.4 million during the event, those moneys are supposed to be reimbursable by the america's cup organizing committee. but as we said in our earlier report in march the availability of those funds is not certain. there was a discussion of fundraising. it is short of the $32 million that was originally considered. the city's been paid in full through june. we don't know about the august payments, so we do consider this to be a policy matter for the board because of the uptick in the funds. >> thank you. supervisor avalos? >> thank you, just followups for the budget analyst or mr. martin, but that is really on -- what we are anticipating as a city in terms of how -- what our appropriation from oewd for -- we are anticipating we would have 2.4 for cash collateral and another one million plus for insurance or is this a new expenditure that we hadn't

the bill is exhibit a. in president obama's vision for america. the president understands why we can't surrender the middle class. >> when you think about the economy, i'm absolutely convinced when you look at the historical record that when middle class families do well, when there are ladders of opportunity for poor families to get into the immediately class, the intierb economy does well. when a few folks are doing very well at the top and everybody else is getting squeezed the economy grows slower and that is the central issue in this election that we've got to make sure we address. >> so where are we? where are we? we're coming down the stretch in this election. it will define where the country goes. i do not think a man who claims that he cares about the middle class can say he understands the economy if he profits from shipping jobs overseas. and advocates for it. if mitt romney looks at his portfolio, he's going to see how he's butchering the lifestyle of american workers. what about them? don't they count? i have a message for everybody wh

only america stands in the way. mine is a story possible only here in this country, only in america. in three short years, the achievements you recognize for me today already eclipse those accrued in the first 25 years of my life. born to hard working parents in australia, both with european roots, they gave me every opportunity imaginable. i was a dream child, just don't ask them. [laughter] today, with the marvels of technology, design by innovative americans, they get to watch this in australia. they taught me to dream. they taught me to never give up. my father instilled in me to never fear any man or have any master other than god. my mother instilledded in me the need to care and protect those weaker than i. they taught me the virtue of confidence, even at the expense of the perception of arrogance. they taught me to make the most of every second of life, and i'm proud to say that i've done that as much as humanly possible. i live in australia, and i travel to america frequently. if i could move here tomorrow,

the america's cup finals starts at 12:20. the blue angels practice at 1:00 for their fleet week air show. and sailing resumes at 5:10 tonight with more fleet racing. >> i'm looking forward to all that out there. >> it's all dependent on the weather. >> that's right. christina loren fills us in on what it's looking like. >> looking good for today. but as we get further into your weekend, we're talking about the potential for showers and drizzle and not perfect visibility for checking out those blue angels. i want to start with this live picture. something you very, very unusually will see in the city of san francisco, an a's flag coupled with the giants' flag. we're so proud of both of our bay area teams headed to the playoffs. this weekend, saturday with the giants in town, fleet week, america's cup, the bluegrass festival, traffic is going to be a nightmare. if you're headed out there, get out there early. mike inouye will be here to give you updates throughout sunday. temperatures looking fabulous as we head throughout your

the city was eager to go along because as america's cup c.e.o. teven barkley said, the rewards in jobs and money would be substantial. >> the america cup comes to cities all about the economics. and san francisco did its own numbers, and they said it would bring $1.4 billion of economic benefit here and 9,000 jobs. >> reporter: but a disappointed san francisco mayor ed lee announced that the agreement and the promises of many of those jobs was going by the board. after cup organizers decided that developing the pier would cost too much. still, the city and oracle went ahead with race plans. others were released. they saw the arrangement with ellison as a give away of city property. and others feared the environment consequences of too many visitors and non-recreational uses of waterfront land. and then there was the matter of boats. they thought up to 15 72-foot boats could compete, but they cost millions. and in the midst of a worldwide recession, only four of them, plus ellison's decided to take part. nobody is suggesting that the race will be a

. >> we have the fourth most dangerous city in america. these are challenges that my officers face every single day. we're not making up any of this stuff, the fact -- reality of what we see here in this department or in this city each and every day. >> we're saying you shouldn't use force when it's not reasonable to do so. you shouldn't be stopping people on the damn street because they're black when they haven't done anything else. >> reporter: civil rights attorney john burris says time's up for making mandated changes. he says opd has had a decade to make reforms. he plans to file a motion today requesting at least a partial federal takeover of the police department. >> maybe someone need to come in and tell them what they must do. and that is the approach that we think a receiver would do. he would give orders. >> i'm still confident by the end of the year we can avoid it. >> reporter: the mayor and chief they they believe the department is moving the right direction and will work to keep opd under local control. >> we don't know what

the america's cup, well, there is the best forecast.ng to see the winds like clockwork working through the afternoon. winds picking up at times. we'll see temperatures also in the 60s. of course, we got the giants with the national league division series coming up against the reds. plan on a light jacket for that game. we'll see some breezy conditions. temperatures in the 60s. and lastly, the 49ers forecast. while you're looking at football weather, temperatures in the upper 60s, partly cloudy skies. i do think we're going to get through sunday without any issues. but there is a upper low sitting offshore. by the time we get through the end of the weekend, we'll see an increasing chance of seeing a few showers around the bay area. it looks like the best chance right now will be sunday night as we head into monday. some of the forecast numbers as we go through the day tomorrow should see low to mid-70s around parts of the south bay. east bay temperatures maybe some mid 70s by livermore. but nothing like the weather we had just a little w

are you happy with plans for the america's cup? you think the city should spend money to keep the 49ers? supervisor chu: america's cup has the potential to serve as an economic engine for us. we knew that going in, and that is why it was such an important effort on the city's part, to bring that activity to san francisco. not onou

the us than bp. we're working to fuel america for generations to come. today, our commitment to the gulf, and to america, has never been stronger. >>> here's a look at the weather in some cities around the country. new york, partly sunny 68 degrees., miami, chance of a thunderstorm, 87. chicago, afternoon thunderstorms, 58 degrees. dallas, sunny, 78. los angeles, mostly sunny at 90 degrees. let's check your national forecast. dry from new england to virginia. rain is likely from western new york to west virginia. mostly sunny, dry weather will extend from the lower mississippi valley to texas. the deep south will be stormy and very windy from the northern and central plains to the ohio valley and northern and central rockies. >>> on the cbs moneywatch a sign of recovery for the housing market. and some tax troubles for starbucks. ashley morrison is here in new york with more on that. >> reporter: good morning. asian markets rallied this morning after china's gdp figures suggest the worst of their economic slow down may be over. tokyo's nikkei gained 2% to

so for the america's cup, that's going to be great news for the boaters. the fog is going to help to get things stirred up. but here we go as we head throughout the morning hours thursday, friday, and saturday. we'll have the low clouds and a little bit of cloud cover lingering all the way through the afternoon. of course, you get more on those events at nbcbayarea.com. as far as the larger weather pattern goes, here is the next game-changer for us. this is a trough of low pressure. it's been here three to four days. it's going out in the pacific without any kind of road map. but at our best guess right now, it's going to continue to move up against the coastline. the onshore cooling breeze with us, not only for thursday, but for friday, saturday, and also for sunday. so temperatures are going to continue to go down. look at 50s and 60s at the coastline. and anywhere from 70s to 80s here from the bay back to the interior valleys. even by friday, we'll look at potentially quite a bit of drizzle possible there for the morning hours. we'll start off tomorrow

>>> right now -- a look at san francisco the place to be this weekend, the blue angels are flying overhead, america's cup is taking the waters and there's bluegrass music in the air. plus, baseball fans are plenty excited as well. it's all part of the bay's big weekend. and we have you covered. the news starts now. >> announcer: nbc bay area news starts now. >> good evening. i'm diane dwyer. thank you for watching this special edition of nbc bay area news. we are on early because of the notre dame football game coming up. it was a beautiful day to be out and about in san francisco, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the city for a little bit of music, some baseball, and activities. we have crews throughout the city. let's begin with monti francis. he is along the waterfront. hello, monti. >> reporter: good afternoon, the blue angels took to the sky just about 15 minutes ago. for many spectators, this is what they came to see. in fact, many of these folks staked out their spots this morning. we started with the parade of ships as vessels from the u.s. navy and u.s. coast guard came under the

so many people across the world still look to america as the best hope of human kind. any people still have faith in america. we must show them that we still have faith in ourselves. that we have the will and the wisdom to revive our estating nant economy, to roll back our unsustainable debt, to reform our government, to reverse the catastrophic cuts now threatening our national defense, to renew the sources of our great power and to lead the course of human events. winston churchill once said of george marshall, he always fought victoriously against defeatism, discouragement, and disillusion. that's the role our friends want america to play again, and it's the role we must play. the 21st century can and must be a -- it began with terror and war and economic calamity. it's our duty to steer it out of the path of freedom and peace and prosperity. the torch america carries is one of designsancy and hope. it's not america's torch alone, but it is america's duty and honor to hold it high enough that all the world can see its light. thank you so much for your participation i

in america keeps going down, down, down. theca is getting crushed, squeeze, because the income is down. at the same time, gasoline prices are up, food prices are up, health insurance premiums are up. it is tough being middle-class even if you have a job in america. we're going to work to create more jobs and more take-home pay. that is our passion. that is why we are in this race. we need a strong america so we can provide for our families and the future of this great country. [cheers and applause] and i want you to know, i am confident that we are going to overcome the challenges we have. i have seen the heart of the american people through my life. i know something about the character of those who have great qualities of the human spirit in their heart. we stood up, regardless of the challenges america has faced, we have been there and overcome them. i am reminded of a couple of experiences. one was at the republican convention a few months ago. i met jane horton there. her husband, a sharpshooter in afghanistan. she is packin

they shared in the prosperity of the growth of america. the productivity of the american workforce rose 80% and still very darn good. the average hourly compensation of the worker grows 10% to 80% of interest productivity and 10% increase in actual earnings. if you look at these things on a graph it's shocking wants to seize the product of the line going up like that, in you see though race line going up like this and then like that. the census bureau reported the average compensation for workers in 2011 was the same as it was the adjusted for inflation and 78 in factor was just a shade lower. that is where the stolen came along. that's what i call wedge economics. there is a wedge driven between the performance of the economy as a whole between the performance of the corporations and their profits and their returns to ordinary workers. people will often say how come so many people are complaining the economy is doing well, not talking so much about right now but if you go back in the middle 2000, 2003 come to gaza for, to those of five, 20

the breeze. it's going to be jam-packed in san francisco this weekend. america's, fleet week and of course the giants playoffs. two games at home, saturday and sunday. ladies, that means if you're single, head to the city, head to the city this weekend. temperatures are looking good, san jose a beautiful start out here at 6:18 now. as you're making your way out that front door just make sure you're ready for another day of very hot weather similar to yesterday. some cities are going to be just about as hot. i think the coastal cities will be a touch cooler. san jose actually hit 96 degrees, 103 out in gilroy and we are mild to start which is why i do believe it's going to be another hot one. upper 50s to start. 64 in san jose, 63 degrees, good morning, in san francisco and 52 degrees out in novato. now, high pressure is the driving portion behind this warmup driving those winds out to see sea, pushing that marine layer way out to the pacific. fire danger elevated again today, 10 to 15 degrees above average but we have improved air quality. so if you don't have ac

of course, nbc bay area, your proud home of the america's cup. if you can't make it to san francisco, as it will be jam packed, we will have the live action here on nbc bay area. we saw the fleet week vessels riding in as well. a beautiful day. 90 degrees in concord. 10 degrees cooler from yesterday. this is the reason why. live satellite imagery shows you the marine layer. it is moving back into southern california. for us, we are getting the offshore flow. let's take it to the futurecast. 10:00 p.m. tonight, the fog returns to the north bay. when we meet back here tomorrow at 11:00, we are still talking about mostly cloudy conditions. the real reason for the cooldown is the area of low pressure that is riding up from the south. this will drop the temperatures from 20 to 25 degrees from today's high. i'm not talking about yesterday where we smashed temperature records across the bay area. we will see a return of the dense fog and drizzle friday into saturday. we get active sunday, monday and tuesday with substantial rain chances. monday and tuesd
