Since a lot of my career has been spent on looking at bright spots in outer space, some colleagues and i got together and said, lets look at a bright spot on planet earth, a fire. Reporter Carl Pennypacker is proposes the building of a satellite. Sole mission to san for fires in western u. S. The satellite could constantly take snapshots of the earth looking for the telltale bright spots of a fire which would then alert fire crews.

Reporter during this summers rim fire, flames are visible to weather satellites 22,000 miles above the earth. Pennypacker says the detection system hes proposing would be 100 times more powerful. Heres our little satellite out here. Reporter he estimates the satellite would cost about 200 million. A price he said would be offset by its success. Help suppress 10 of those fires, that would save 200 million a year which is the cost in one year, is the cost of the satellite.

Stephanie . Reporter good evening, janelle. See it throughout the city, but the mission here has become a face, a sort of face for this, in part because of the large tech boom and all the hiring thats happened. Now, tenant rights advocates say this kind of eviction of tenants with good records has grown by tenfold in just the last year. But those who are fighting for Property Owners rights say this is just about being fair in the interest of good business. For 19 years, this has been home for jeremy michaels. But it may not be for long. Last year, the 63yearold was told hed be evicted thanks to the ellis act. The state law allows Property Owners to take a building off the rental market.

The trees grow up to 50 feet tall and luckily dont need too much care. Hopefully theyre fog resistant. Weve had a lot of fog lately. Yes. That would be a good thing to check on. For sure, weve been locked in the fog fat earn for three days. We have a relatively benign weather pattern overhead, allowing conditions, and the fog has stayed put for so long. Right now were starting to see things shift. A storm system offshore is beginning to stir up the atmosphere.

S. States compare in math and science, the countries around the world. And while some states rank high, california, unfortunately, comes in the middle of the pack. California eighth graders ranked just a few points below average in math and science. That puts them alongside peers in italy. California kids rank above norway and dubai, but well below traditional powerhouses like singapore, taiwan and south korea. Countries that come out on the top of that new study. Now, its often assumed American Students dont do well bared to their peers around the world, but it turns out massachusetts came in number two in the world in science, behind only singapore.

Ill take a look at the controversy coming up in a live report. Well, if you drive near there, you can spot electronic billboards up and down highway 101 and could soon see one pop up in palo alto just off 101 near colorado avenue. Nbc bay areas Marianne Favro join us in East Palo Alto, why it may be going up and why some are not putting out the welcome sign. Reporter well, jessjessica,y of palo alto is considering putting up an electronic billboard like the one you see here already up in East Palo Alto. All that advertising has the potential to generate millions of dollars for palo alto, but neighbors are worried about the problems it may generate. The city of palo alto is hoping a billboard like this will help pay its bills. Companies pay thousands of dollars to advertise on this electronic billboard off northbound highway 101 in East Palo Alto and now palo alto is considering putting a similar sign up here across the highway at the end of colorado avenue. The city says an electronic billboard can generate as much as 1 million a year which could go to pay for repairing and replacing its aging buildings including the police department, which needs retrofitting. Weve already identified a 40 millions we would like to catch up on on our maintenance. Reporter vice mayor Nancy Shepard says the council will consider whether to move forward with the proposal on monday. She says shes concerned about safety. I personally have that concern because ive had to commute past that other digital billboard up in redwood city and i do find it distracting. Reporter a recent study found the bright constantly changing signs divert more attention away from drivers than traditional signs and another study done by Virginia Tech for the national Highway Traffic Safety Administration found anything that diverts motorists attention off the road for more than two seconds increases the risk of a crash. Thats not the only concern. The lights can be bright and annoying. Reporter david irvin has no desire to see a billboard go up on his street. Theres probably other ways of making money for the city that dont involve Traffic Safety and annoying the people who live in the city. Reporter his message, the Digital Message Center has no place in palo alto. And some residents say that an electronic billboard just doesnt feel like palo alto. They say it just doesnt fit in with the citys old world charm. Reporting live in East Palo Alto, Marianne Favro, nbc bay area news. Update on our breaking news. The big rig crash in which the cab was dangling from a freeway overpass, 280 connector ramp southbound to 101. As you an see, the tow truck is there, the big rig you cant see in the picture is back on solid ground. This happened 5 30 about an hour ago. The good news is this overpass was over northbound 101 and all lanes were shut down for about an hour, but those loan lanes reopened. Backup, though, for miles past candlestick park. Bring your patience. This is what it looked like hours ago. We brought you live pictures as it happened of the cab, of the big rig dangling precariously over 101 below. This is near the Silver Terrace neighborhood. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. Again, this connector ramp, one lane is still closed but one lane reopened to allow cars to go from 280 to 101. As for 101 northbound, all lanes reopened. If there are any new updates, well bring it to you. New at 6 00, gun rights advocates want to recall five state lawmakers because of their support for stronger gun laws. Assembly speaker john perez and four other democratic legislators are targets. That list is expected to grow. The move is inspired by a recall election in colorado that unseated two democratic lawmakers with republicans. The progun groups say theyll decide in about two weeks which lawmakers to recall. Then theyll have 60 days to collect signatures on petitions in each district to force a special election early next year. A drop in the bucket or a big bite out of their bottom line . B. A. R. T. Did finally hammer out a deal with the union this week but did not come cheaply. Two strikes which paralyzed the bay area for 8 1 2 days carried a high price tag, but how much . In tonights reality check sam brock crunches the numbers to see if b. A. R. T. Could have been better off settling without any strikes. Janelle, jessica, good evening. Wouldnt it be something if b. A. R. T. Shelled out almost as much money to get through the two strikes as it did to bring Union Workers back to the job . Now, the reality is, that is not the case. The final deal is still more expensive for b. A. R. T. Than the cost of those two strikes, but the money b. A. R. T. Lost is nothing to sneeze at, and why were taking a closer look at the strategy. Riders are basically the oxygen of the b. A. R. T. System. Those fare coins keep the system rolling and add up. So do the parking fees. Thats why according to b. A. R. T. s financial documents the two sources make up about 95 of the money b. A. R. T. Hauls in. And it shows when it comes to the strike. B. A. R. T. Says it lost 1. 4 million each weekday of the october strike. It lost 1. 2 million each day over the weekend. Two weekdays plus two weekend days gives you a 5. 2 million in lost money just from this strike. The last strike in july was nearly a week long. B. A. R. T. Says its revenues for one week in that month are around 8 million. Round trip. Going to San Francisco only. Reporter then theres the extra buses coming on b. A. R. T. s dime. About 450,000 for the first strike and 540,000 for the second strike. The ferry rides actually come courtesy of the ntc, according to b. A. R. T. Theres also the myriad acts of vandalism that occurred during the strike with the glen park station, bearing the worst damage. A b. A. R. T. Spokesperson puts the bill at tens of thousands, but without a final tab until everything is cleaned up. For those keeping track at home, thats more than 14 million at this point. With costs for vandalism and b. A. R. T. Police ot still undetermined. Compare that to a deal that per b. A. R. T. Sources costs the agency about 65 million or thereabouts to wrap up. What we havent touched upon is b. A. R. T. Saved money during the strikes as well. At least 5 million or 6 million in labor costs for not paying Union Workers during the stoppage. And big savings on electricity costs, their pg e bill. Bottom line, b. A. R. T. Probably spent between 8 million and 10 million to hold these two strikes. We suspect based on the estimates that its less than a fifth of what they ended up paying out to the unions. Moreover, had b. A. R. T. Not drawn the line in the sand, the Union Package could have been a lot larger. From a business standpoint, it certainly seems like it makes sense for b. A. R. T. From a rider and taxpayer standpoint, its an awfully significant waste of money and waste of time. Im sam brock, thats todays reality check. Back to you. A lot of people will agree with that. Thanks, sam. More finger pointing tonight over problems with healthcare. Gov website. Theyre blaming, though, the government for the disastrous rollout for making lastminute changes and not doing test runs. They say the site was overwhelmed from day one. Embattled health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius says shes not resigning over the website problems. Majority of people calling for me to resign i would say are people who i dont work for and who do not want this program to work in the first place. The white house says its working to correct the problem, but one expert says to expect even more delays. The contractors, though, believe people will be able to enroll by the march 31st deadline zblch. Coming up, cracking down on prescription meds.

There were nine women in the limo that day but only four of them survived. The families are suing the limo manufacturer, the limo operator, and the limo repair company. In Health Matters tonight, the fda recommends new restrictions on prescription medicines containing hydrocodone, a highly addictive painkiller and is the most widely prescribed drug in the u. S. The fda says drugs that contain hydrocodone like vicodin should have the same restrictions as drugs like adderol, ritalin and morphine. Can only be prescribed in 90day amounts and nurses and physician assistants an not prescribe it as all. One of the reasons hydrocodone is easier to prescribe is because its sold in combination pills, mixed with ingredients like aspirin that arent so addictive. Lets turn things over to jeff ranieri. Its dark outside but the fog is still coming in. Yeah. It is lingering off the coastline right now. Even a few rays of sunshine. It meant a lot to you today after starting off so cloudy.

Reporter energy giant nrg lifted the solar frames into place, giving the stadium a touch of both technology and Environmental Stewardship the bay area is known for. For us, to make sure that, you know, were going to be net neutral to the grid, make sure we have all the right elements for sustainability, for recycling, for composting, and to have renewable energy. That was a really big thing for us. Reporter another benefit of solar power, energy that can be stored between football games. With all that power, the powers that be tell us its less likely well see blackout scenes like this one from 2011. This is a leadingedge stadium using the worlds best solar made here in combination with other factors. Weve eliminated, virtually eliminate the probability of any outage. Reporter and as fate would have it, of the more than 500 solar panels now on the roof of the new 49ers stadium, the number of frames used to hold those panels is 49. In santa clara, scott budman, nbc bay area news. He needs some sun to power those solar panels, dont we . Weve had a lot of fog lately. Its a good thing theyre using the panels when they get a lot more sun in santa clara. Totally different forecast for the 49ers in the home games. Think how cold it is at candlestick compared to santa cla clara. Going to be awesome once that gets up and going. Well have the fog back at the coast and by the bay also inland.

Looks like even by 1 00 in the afternoon well still deal with the clouds just trying to get out of here at this point. But i think well have sunshine earlier on than we had for today.

Well begin with temperatures in the low 40s in the north bay. Little bit chilly with higher dew points. Takes your body a lot more energy to get warm outside.

Have the jacket ready. 73 in san how stay. 71, los gatos. 76 in gilroy. Thats more like it. 71, castro valley. 73, walnut creek. 74, livermore. 72 in pleasanton. 65, al need to. San francisco with 66. But if we get that sun, as we expect by the afternoon, it will feel close to 70 in soma. 64 in pacifica. 71 in sonoma. The other thing to watch out for is the air quality tomorrow. It will be at moderate levels. We have High Pressure aloft. And, again, that is what it helping to keep us in this stagnant pattern. But as we head throughout next week, its going to get stirred up quite a bit. Were going to see the jet stream, the storm track get close to us. Namely its going to bring us a much colder pattern. Look at this sevenday forecast. By next tuesday, upper 60s inland. 60s all over the place. No rain in the forecast. Thats good news for halloween, though, as we head throughout next thursday. If youre getting the costume ready, looks like the face point is aokay at this point. Not sure what youre dressing up as, but if youre deciding on the body paint, looks pretty good.

Scott reese in the Comcast Sportsnet newsroom. Niners have been practicing overseas in london hanging out with the queen. Lets get an update. Im not sure if the queen has been at practice but im sure shell be at the game regardless. The 49ers spent the better part of their time in london trying to on vince that the 07 jaguars arent a bad team. Were not buying it but hopefully they are, enough so theres no letdown some sunday. Mindi bach has more. Reporter from buckingham palace, to westminster abbey, to the tower bridge, there is so much in the city of london that could be distracting to the 49ers players. But the veteran players are making sure their teammates are keeping the focus on sundays game. The moment you close your eyes is the moment you can fall. We cant take them light. We just have to Stay Grounded and keep our focus and remember the reason that why were here. Were here to play a game and take care of business. Its not a pleasure trip. We can come back and do that. Were trailing seattle now. Our mindset is we have to get this one. Were in that hunt. Were chasing from behind right now. Were close, but were behind. So motivation shouldnt be a factor at all. Reporter the 49ers see an 07 jaguars team that has rapidly improved over the last few weeks. Both offensively and defensively. Very aggressive defensive front. Always hitting the quarterback. Probably have as good a fourman rush as weve seen. While theyre not getting big sack numbers, i mean, theyre getting some real live shots on the quarterback. So, you know, its all clean. And aggressive. I think in the first four games, they were averaging about 220 yards a game and last 3 games averaging over 360 i believe. So the evidence is on the tape when you watch it. And then the evidence is on paper when you look at their stats, and part of thats coincided with the return of blackmon, too. Reporter blackmon is the leagues leading receiver for the month of october and grabbing the 49ers defenses attention, not the sights at london. At buckingham palace, mindi bach.

To me, its more its more fun because you think of the stadium, the tradition, the history. Those are the things i like about it. You know, i like to see the rookies and young guys that havent been out there. The first time they walk on the field and see the fans and the Kindergarten Teacher thats got her face painted going nuts. You know, its always, to me its a neat thing. Thats what footballs about.
