ucsf, ucla and uc davis. in fact, some groups have posted they plan to shut down operations at uc davis today. nbc bay area political analyst dr. larry gerstein says something has to give to curtail the rising cost of education. >> more than a general strike. more than protesting going to classes or protesting regent's trustees. people need to realize you have to find alternative revenues. that means taxes. from where? from whom? how much? security as if the president was in town. a meeting an hour and a half before the 9:00 a.m. scheduled meeting. again, there are fears and obvious concerns over what might happen can students. if you know the campus here at ucsf. it's an industrial area over by at&t park so not a lot of housing. wooep keel you posted. >> damien, thank you very much. we'll check back with you later on. >>> 4:44 now. syracuse university fired a long time assistant basketball coach after three men accused him of sexually abusing them when they were boys. now there's new evidence in the case. be

we were right in the sense that a lot of ucsf demand came. we had many venture firms support us and say, this is a great idea. because people hit the ground running at a time when there were normally very inefficient. we can avoid the capital outlays ago with small facilities. so we had those things. what we did not get right was the demand was much greater. so it turned up at ucsf only about 30%, 45%, of the total demand spectrum. to me, one of the big surprises has been the really wide variety of spaces people want. which made it much easier for us in that we were a growing company and we have to allocate space. we have been able to fit people in in a way that might surprise you, you know, in terms of the leaseholds, the terms of agreement, the kind of resources they're using at of our facilities and so on. it is been very flexible. the other point i would make is that the citizenship has been good. all my friends when they heard this said you're going to regret this. there will be violations. people will steal your stuff. blah, blah, blah.

here at ucsf and uc davis.spray incident at uc campus by davis police was at the top of the agenda for protesters. fee hikes are not on the agenda. nbc bay area political analyst dr. larry gurstein says there might only be one way to curb the rising costs of higher education. >> more than a general strike more than protesting going to classes or protesting the regent's trustees, people need to realize to keep those down you have to find way to get revenues. that means taxes. from where? from whom? and how much? >> and normally these meetings, the students have about 20 minutes of open forum to address the regents. for this meeting they've been given one hour. again, more than a couple of dozen police officers here at the ucsf conference center. we have yet to see one protester. i'm sure they will be here. >> damien, thank you very much for the update. >> 6:53 now. an all new today show is coming up in a few minutes. here's matt lauer with a preview. >> good morning, syracuse university fires the long time assis

this meeting here at ucsf gets under way at 9:00 this morning. it will be heated. you can see some police are still arriving. police have been all around this campus making sure things don't get out of hands. they had to cancel their last meeting for fears of violence by student protesters. this morning they'll hold their meeting on a television screen at ucla, at ucsf and at uc davis. davis is where students say they'll shut down the campus just days after that now famous pepper spraying incident by campus police. the students this time will have one hour of open forum to voice their concerns or anger at the regents. the allotted time during normal meetings is 20 minutes. the system cannot continue to function without one big change. >>> what people need to realize is you have to find revenues. from where, from whom? how much? >> and again security will be fight at today's meeting. some might say it's presidential with the security sweep and one hour and a half academic-in prior for all the media. just to give you an idea, tuition will not be on today's agenda. bu

researchers at ucsf found dramatic metabolic improvements when they put people on the palio diet but good test results like low cholesterol or blood pressure wasn't enough to get people to stick with it. now they are using a brain intervention to make things easier. renee loves to cook and eat but for years that's been a problem. >> i was cravings and compulsive eating behave years all my life. >> reporter: but not anymore. >> i almost have to remind myself to eat. >> reporter: her secret in taking a giant step backwards to connect with the primitive part of her brain. renee's changed how she feels about food and how she feels about stress. ucsf professor laurel mellon says the two go hand in hand. >> with all this dieting craze, most of us have gotten mixed up about food. we don't know what to eat what to stay away from. >> reporter: she says we don't stay away from sugary fatty foods, stress foods. she says when we consume sodas, candies, cookies and grains, we're dumping stress not only into our bodies but into our brains. >> and our brains mix that with all the emotional stress w

ucsf mission bay, uc davis, uc merced and ucla that's where you go in the bay area you come here to san francisco. if you would like to participate in the public comment portion. they've extend it, it is usually 20 minutes, today an hour. from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.. no word on how long the protests will last, police are definitely gearing up for the first time since we've been covering meetings we've been asked to park down the block outside of this front door. amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >>> 5:03. within the last hour officers have given occupy l.a. protesters a final dispersement order, five hours after the 12:01 a.m. deadline to leave. they are allowing them if to go back into their camp, they say it is a matter of time before police will arrest them. the mayor set a 12:01 a.m. deadline for protesters to leave. protesters haven't bundled. there are 1,000 in the streets. police chief says officers will not physically remove begin. beyond that they are not revealing timelines or tactics. there are nearly 500 tends sent up two months ago. >>> san francisco police want to you look at new pict

on this housing issue, working in conjunction with ucsf, the dental school, and all the other institutions throughout san francisco who have lots of students and housing needs, if we can create new housing to accommodate their needs, both for the academy of art university, as well as these others, that is a great idea, and is part of the housing concept, or perhaps conversions of existing commercial or retail space whose needs have changed and are available. another thing that has happened here is many of the acquisitions of the institution, which are pointed out in the informational master plan, are basically white elephants that were very expensive, could not be demolished. if it was not for their acquisition, they would be vacant. that is something that we do not dwell on often enough. i think we have some understanding, i hope, as we move forward with the environmental impact report, we will stay with the scope of what is in use at this time and will not be any additions before june of 2012, so we can actually get our arms around what is there, analyze the impact of what is in use, and

one of our biggest partners in this has been ucsf. with that, i'd like to introduce you to douglas crawford. >> this is a experiment that was begun maybe 1, 15 years ago. in the long term, the vitality of mission bay will depend on the small companies that come to make this home as well. it's that integration between small and large companies that made this so attractive for bay area in part to come here. so that is something that we don't often take credit for or give credit to in the mayor's office deserves credit for making that happen. at the end of the day, what will make this a community will be people that -- people are network hubs for making this happen and qb3 is one. katherine has proven to be one of the important network hubs, and she deserves our thanks for that. so congratulations. >> i think with that, that concludes the scheduled speakers. but now i'm going to open this up to any questions that we might have from the press. ok. with that, i would invite you to either stay out here and special outside or join us inside.

. >> reporter: ucsf police positioned barricades and manpower at the meeting's entrance, however, they anticipated crowds, and it was a lackluster turnout. even though it was a small turnout it turns out they were a noisy group after all. minutes ago i talked to a student protester. it turns out the regents meeting now is temporarily stalled because of disruptions inside with chanting. they left the room. the only ones left in the room with them, gavin newsome. >> thank you. >>> occupy protesters in l.a. meanwhile are in a mainly peaceful standoff with police this afternoon. hundreds still camped out near city hall after defying an order to move out after midnight. police did move in overnight to break up rallies that were blocking streets but didn't disturb the camp. >>> investigators are hoping that surveillance video will lead to the driver who ran down a bay area firefighter. police say that the man in the long white t-shirt, on the left of the screen, believe he fought with cal state firefighter albert bertal at the san francisco jack-in-the-box thanksgiving morning. they left sep
