Going to start with the raiders but the fans arent giving up on the raiders even if they are out of it. Its hard for this team and its so hard for the fans because they found out they were going to be moving to las vegas and they were hoping they would win the super bowl while still in oakland. The raiders knew they werent going but in a game typical of how things have gone the silver and black fall short again. Last nights game was oaklands 4th loss by less than 10 10 points. Led only one game winning after having 7 just a season ago. Its come down to the end and we have not made place. We have not done what we needed to do to win the games.

Also in yesterdays win, durant got into it with clevelands jose called ron but neither was given a technical foul. Green said after the game he couldnt figure out why he got one instead of calderon. That looked like a shot between an umpire and a manager. What they call a skipper come out and. Sometimes they get thrown out and sometimes they go back to the bench. He didnt get thrown out. I wonder how did he just get to go back to the dug out. I dont know but i got one. And you wonder why he complains about calls so often. Theres a double standard there.

Say 3500 have an issue with the power train. The vehicle could roll away if its parked on an incline without the parking brake engaged. Also recalling 2000 with a parking risk because of the battery cable. Just because an item is recalled doesnt mean its off the shelves. The critical failure that could put you and your family at risk. Setting up a camera to catch package snatchers might not be enough to scare them away. Troubling results concerning the way the food and Drug Administration handles an investigation has yielded some troubling results concerning the way the food and Drug Administration handles recalls. It found that some recalls arent immediately pulled from shelves leaving some at risk. Spoke with one of the investigators. I think any time you have a situation where peoples lives are at risk, i dont know how lightly you could take that. Investigator georges team reviewed 30 voluntary recalls over 1500 in a 2 1 2 year period and found deficiency. That the fda could not always confirm people initiated recalls promptly. 23 of the recalls we looked at were class one, can cause an irreversible. In a salmonella outbreak, investigators found it took 165 days from the date the problem product was identified to the date of the firms voluntary recall. There were 14 getting a listeria outbreak later that same yearlinged to cheese outbreak, it took 81 days to complete. At least 9 people became ill, including an infant who died and 2 pregnant women lost their fetuses. We have to plan for the worst Case Scenario and thats why its important for fda to drive the boat and always put themselves in a position where they can use their authorities and force these recalls. In another case a class one recall of a dietary supplement when the firm disagreed over whether the product was lawful. Found the firm did not recall the product until 303 days after receiving a warning letter from fda. The 3 places that stuff was still on the shelf, 303 days later. That meant people could have been buying it. So this product potentially jeopardized lives and they left it on shelves for close to a year . That would be correct. The inspectors General Office issued alert. The fda responded by putting a special team in place to handle challenging high risk recalls but for this report fda said the 30 cases selected were extreme and claimed in the highest risk recall, recall initiation took place in average 3 days. Said the agency has worked quickly to put in place measures to address the proposals the oig outlined and though he said a lot has changed since then, nether said lives depend on it. Every day that a recall is not initiated, every single day that goes by, a person could potentially get seriously ill or die from eating the product. On background, fda Officials Say they know there are things to work on and that statement said the agency will announce new measures this year, not only in regard to the recall process but ways to get more information out to the public more quickly. Coming up, fighting porch pirates with a nasty surprise. Actually paying off. T off that the calender year is wrapping up and despite the fact its been very dry in december, 2017 turned out to be very wet. But were dry right now. When does that change . The answer and your forecast coming up. Striking back against porch pirates. This package thief got a box full. Of kitty litter. New video after homeowner striking pack against porch pirates. This thief got a box full of kitty litter. According to the woman she has been putting cat litter inside amazon boxes which she then leaves on her doorstep. So far 6 boxes have been stolen. Should be used kit kitty litter. Many people have cameras to catch people in the act. But capturing the crime doesnt always help. In less than 20 seconds this thief stole not one, not 2, but 3 packages. I was a little bit shaky just watching the video. She watched the entire crime unfold on her phone while at work. You feel helpless. You dont think it can happen to you and when it does you feel like thats a violation of your privacy. They are far from alone. Online shopping is up 17 from last year. 11million packages were stolen in 2016 while the homeowner was away. We are seeing video after video of thieves not caring. Package thefts are on the rise in the city with 51 stolen this year, compare that to 35 last year and 33 the year before. I think theres a common miss conception that if you have a camera System Installed that you are less likely to be a victim and unfortunately thats not the reality. In the sporks case the thief not only steals their packages but he made sure the cameras couldnt capture his face. I see this masked man walk up to our door and my heart dropped. Now im more concerned about the future potential. The porch pirate got away and is still out there. Its really disheartening, especially this time of year. People are spending their hard earned money. Luckily the sports packages didnt contain anything valuable but thats part of the problem. Even if the thieves are caught, they dont face charges unless what they stole was over 950. The company that is cater to us Offering Food Delivery Services like grub hub have exploded in popularity.

Got to show you this because we look at many different forecast models. The majority for sunday and monday, new years eve and new years day look like this, not a drop of rain anywhere. But we have to talk about the uncertain because one computer model does this on new years morning. Thats a lot different. 7 00 new years morning this computer model is keying in on a big change that may bring rainfall. Lets hope that one is correct but right now the evidence is stacked against it. We are keeping a rain chance is for the north bay next monday. Areas of fog tonight, well get a little bit cloudier for the weekend.
