Time he sought treatment. Our veronica de la cruz is following developments. Reporter texas hospital officials admit they blew it and by not treating the man right away more people including some schoolchildren may have been exposed. Doctors at Texas Health Presbyterian hospital admit that when the ebola patient, thomas duncan, first came to the e. R. Last friday, he told medical staff he was visiting from liberia. Regretfully, that information was not fully communicated throughout the full team. And as a result, the full import of that information wasnt factored into the clinical decisionmaking. Reporter duncan was sent home. He returned two days later with worse symptoms. Rick perry says the patient had some contact with five School Aged Students who went to school this week. They are now being monitored at home. This is a disease that is not airborne and is substantially more difficult to contract than the common cold. Reporter cdc experts also known as disease detectives are going door to door at the ivy apartments. Thats where duncan was staying. They are looking for anyone who had contact with him from september 24 to september 28. Duncan left liberia almost two weeks ago where an ebola epidemic has killed thousands of people. He was apparently symptom free testing negative for a fever at the airport. A dallas city Spokesman Says duncan was throwing up when an ambulance took him to the hospital earlier this week. Three paramedics who treated him are not sick but are being confined to home and being monitored for symptoms. The ambulance is now out of service for decontamination. Now, the people who had close contact with the patient will be watched for 21 days. Thats the incubation period for ebola. Duncan is in serious but stable condition. He went to the hospital, said he thought there was a problem and they said no, youre fine. Sent him home. Oh, man. Ought to be taken serious the first time. Thank you. San franciscos fire chief joanne hayeswhite is under even more pressure tonight from within her own department. The Fire Chiefs Association delivered a letter today to mayor ed lee asking for her to be replaced. This is on the heels of a nearly identical letter last week from the rankandfile. The head of the fire chiefs union says he has had a significant number of his members express a desire for a change at the top. San francisco Chiefs Association is concerned that we be able to provide the highest Level Service possible to the city and county of San Francisco and its many visitors. We feel that that is threatened in the current state of affairs in the fire department. The big issues focus on staffing and what firefighters say is a delayed ambulance response time. Mayor lee met with firefighters last week to discuss the problems. He says he is aware of these new complaints. First of all, you break down exactly what the criticisms are and, um, you make improvements, you show the plan and if people dont believe you, you got to show the evidence in delivery. Were were were actually assessing what everybodys opinions are in making sure that awe have facts in front of us making sure that we have facts in front of us. The mayor expressed confidence of the chief last week. He avoided that today. The Embattled Secret Service director stepped down today following several major security breaches. Julia pierson handed in her resignation after a man with a knife blew past secret Service Agents and made it into the white house. Pierson was under fire yesterday for several hours on capitol hill. She never mentioned another recent breach involving an Armed Security contractor in an elevator with mr. Obama. That came to light later on in the day. Over the last several days we have seen recent and accumulating reports raising questions about the performance of the agency. And the president concludedded that new leadership of that agency was required. Pierson says she resigned in part because she lost confidence from congress. An assessment of White House Security will be completed in a couple of months. Bay area lawmakers are praising new legislation to help the backlog in processing rape kits. Thousands of untested rape kits are sitting on shelves across the state. Governor brown signed a bill yesterday that aims to change that. Forensic evidence from sexual assaults will have to be sent to a crime lab within 20 days. Dna evidence from the victim will have to be sent to the lab within 5 days. Certainly a relief for rape survivors. I was raped and drugged drugged and raped, i was told that my case was funded and that my kit would be funded and that my case kit would be tested and it was not. We need serial offenders not to have a free pass. The bills sponsor Nancy Skinner says funding for timely Crime Lab Testing is likely to come from the federal budget. The uber customer who was attacked by his driver with a hammer in San Francisco may permanently lose the use of his left eye. Just over a week ago 35year old Roberto Chicas was knocked unconscious with a hammer by his uber driver. The two had allegedly gotten into a disagreement over the route. Doctors say chicas has a lot of Reconstructive Surgery ahead of him. The suspect faces assault charges. The San Francisco board of supervisors just approved a 15 million settlement with the family of a woman run over by a city worker at a park in bernal heights. 35yearold Christine Svanemyr was sunbathing with her baby and dog at holly park last september. A Parks Department truck hit and killed her and then fled the scene. The driver was later arrested and is awaiting trial. You think today was warm . The next few days going to be hot across the bay area. Taking a live look from mount diablo right now. But lets check in with chief meteorologist paul deanno. He is in vallejo tonight. Paul. Reporter were right by the ferry terminal. This is typically one of the cooler spots because of proximity to the bay. It is going to get warmer. Right now what are the current temperatures . Its 88 in santa rosa. Warmer than normal in napa 89. 86 livermore. 85 officially in vallejo. It is 75 in San Francisco. 84 in oakland. A heat advisory in effect for tomorrow and friday. All of the bay area under a heat advisory. Highs will be in the 80s and the 90s. Im going to sound like your dad here but drink a lot of fluids because itsit will be hot especially if you live near the water, city or near the coast it will be 15 to 20 degrees above average for the next few days. Concord 90 tomorrow. Only 7 degrees above average. San jose 92. Thats 11 degrees above normal. But San Francisco 85 degrees is 15 degrees above average. So were warm today. Were going to get hotter tomorrow. Well talk about how long this heat snap will last when its going to end thats coming up in about 10 minutes. Certainly looks comfortable. Thanks, paul. Its video of a thief so slick, a woman had no idea she was being robbed and it got us thinking. The everyday things people do that make themselves easy pickins for a pickpocket. A group of drag queens taking on social media giant. The freedom that they were fighting for and the change of heart from facebook. Trying to mislead you about the effects of proposition 46. Well heres the truth 46 will save lives. It will save money too. Im bob pack, and im fighting for prop 46 because i lost my two children to preventable medical errors and i dont want anyone else to lose theirs. The three provisions in 46 will reduce medical errors and protect patients. Save money and save lives. Yes on 46. A slick thief snatching a wt right ou it happened we showed it to you last night. A slick thief snatching a wallet right out of a womans purse. It happened at a busy restaurant with plenty of people around. Kpix 5s ryan takeo is in walnut creek with how easy it is to become a target and how to avoid becoming a victim. Ryan. Reporter liz, it can happen like that. Youre having a conversation, eating some food, and then maybe you reach down and your stuff isnt there. Now, today we had an excop teach us how not to become a target in these situations. How do you know what a criminal is going to do . Think of what you would do if you want to commit the crime. Reporter security expert and excop evan frazier took us inside this walnut creek restaurant let us to put us in the mind set. He spotted three targets. This woman eating with her child her purse open on the chair and these two women having lunch. Thats the victim right there just having lunch. Reporter we showed the video after a thief stealing this diners wallet taking credit cards and stuffing them into her shirt before she left. They could be victims too. Very easy to take something out of the purse and just get up and walk out without you realizing that you have a purse. I think sometimes maybe when im having lunch with somebody else and have my guard down, i just have it sitting right out there. Wow. I wouldnt have thought twice about it. Reporter but cindy thought about it today after seeing this viral video. Something she is not used to doing. I pay no attention, none whatsoever. Reporter now she will. Evan pointed out this man with his bag open in the outside. A thiefs dream. Plenty of places to run and hide. Inside of a restaurant, that takes a little more moxie because you have to know youre going to get away with it. Reporter so heres an example of what you should do. Keep an eye out, hold on to your stuff, put it in your lap. Sounds simple but today i talked to another former cop, he says the same sort of thing happened to his wife a couple of years ago. He says she is normally very safe and secure. Live in walnut creek, im ryan takeo, kpix 5. Walnut creek police say so far, they dont have any leads. Well, we would like to clarify a story from last month regarding foster farms. We reported the usda issued a new report detailing hundreds of violations at the foster farms poultry plants. The findings were based on testing between september 2013 and march 2014. Recent tests by the usda in the last three months have found the violations have been corrected and foster farms facilities are 99 compliant. It is a dilemma for security experts. What happens when the name on the i. D. Card doesnt match the gender . What one woman had to do just to get into a concert. Thousands of people have made the switch but now they may be out of luck. Well tell you whats behind the sudden shortage of organic milk. ,, well, facebook is backtracking today changing the way it enforces an important policy of requiring users to list their real names. The group of drag queens gave facebook a petition demanding they allowed to use the names they identify with. Facebook recently deleted several hundred accounts forcing people to use their legal names for security purposes. That didnt sit well with people like michael williams, who goes by sister roma i have not identified by that name in over 27 years. That real authentic self is not always reflected in a drivers license and an identification card. Facebook apologized to the group in a meeting today says the spirit of its policy doesnt mean a persons legal name but instead the authentic name that they use in real life. Its not just facebook. Transgender people face many hurdles because their legal names dont match the name they use in daily life. Consumerwatch reporter julie watts explains. Reporter for Donna DangeloWinning Tickets to xian any at the Oakland Coliseum was a dream come true. I was really excited. Reporter but that excitement soon turned to frustration when she realized she would need a valid photo i. D. To pick them up at wilk hall. I really didnt want to have to show up at the arena and make a big scene. Reporter a concern because while dangelo,s who transgender, lives dresses and identifies as a woman, her drivers license still has a male name. I tried to contact the arena numerous times through email and phone and never heard back from them. Its a big problem. Reporter this person is an attorney at oaklands transgender law is there. She says mismatched state ids put transgenders at serious risk. They risk being denied the service altogether and a lot of people when they present id face harassment from people when the ids dont match on the they ares also out. Reporter according to a recent survey, only 40 of transgender have an accurate identification. Even the tsa has an official transgender policy advising people book tickets under their legal name call ahead with concerns and request a private screening. Concerns about terrorism and Identity Theft have complicated the process of changing an identity to reflect a new sex and gender even changing a name is costly and timeconsuming. You have to get a court orderer up to 450 to pay for out of pocketed. Reporter but donnas primary concern was getting to the concert and thanks to help from consumerwatch she finally did. The concert itself was fabulous reporter now, the Transgender Law Center offers a lot of information about identification issues like this. You will find more information on kpix. Com. And if you need help with a consumer issue, call us at 888 5helpsu. Thank you. All right. Paul deanno is out shall we say chilling by the water in this hot temperature . Reporter ha ha ha you need to chill when its this warm outside. Vallejo typically one of the cooler spots because, hey, were sitting next to San Francisco bay off the distance, we have mare island. This is not one of the hot spots. But when you get an offshore wind, when the wind comes from the east, it equalizes everything. Inland spots not that much hotter than places like vallejo or San Francisco or richmond or ocean beach or half moon bay. You can see this played out in our current temperatures. Its a Beautiful Day outside. There was a little bit of a late day ocean breeze which will be absent tomorrow. 81 san bruno. It is 75 in San Francisco. It is 84 in oakland. But 83 in san jose and 88 in santa rosa. So only a three or four degree difference between our areas near the water and away from the water. Usually 15 or 20 degrees. Today the great equalizer is the offshore wind. Everybody is warm. Everybody down fear 60 overnight tonight. San jose 60. Livermore 60. Oakland 61. Napa you will drop down to 57 degrees overnight tonight. Whats going on . Because certainly a change today compared to the past couple of days. Remember how cloudy it was on sunday. Big ridge of High Pressure, that High Pressure dome is basically going to park itself right over or just to the north of the bay area. That means dry weather continues. That means the east or offshore wind will continue. And above average temperatures will be with us at least for the next three days. The two hottest days are tomorrow and friday. Well be clear and mild tonight even the beach no fog zero fog throughout the bay area. It will be a sunny thursday, warm to hot. If you thought it was warm today, add 3 to 5 degrees coming up tomorrow. And little if any change heading into the weekend. It will be sunday at the earliest when you really feel a noticeable change in the temperatures and if you are away from the water it likely will be the top of next week. Highs tomorrow vallejo 87 degrees. Napa 93. Not that uncommon for napa but that 87 in vallejo is certainly a deviation from the norm. San jose 92. 90 in santa rosa. But check out San Francisco. That is not normal. 85 degrees in San Francisco tomorrow. 15 degrees above average. So when do we cool off . After hot weather on thursday and friday, even 80 at the coast. Mid80s near the bay, we begin to cool off a bit. The coast will be first on saturday. Youre down to the 70s. By sunday, near the bay, is down to the 70s. And then by monday and tuesday of next week, a stronger onshore flow drops temperatures back down to the 80s inland and 70s near the bay. Brilliant sunshine, beautiful weather outside. If you dont mind the heat, i know a lot of folks in San Francisco and oakland you dont have airconditioning, you get past that, it will be gorgeous. Fogfree weather including here in vallejo at the ferry terminal. They have been running ferries here since 1997. Gorgeous weather everywhere, warm weather everywhere because of the offshore wind. You cued the ferry right behind you. Good timing reporter dude, we time things were professionals we pay extra for that service. Got it all down. Its going right by. Hey, lets wave hey all right. We take a day at the beach. They were waiting for you, allen and liz. My ship has come in. Running to the store for milk isnt as easy as it sounds these days. Theres a shortage of organic milk in many bay area supermarkets. Don ford on whats driving it and why Dairy Farmers cant keep up. Reporter these are special Certified Organic cows. They give controlled organic milk and the demand is soaring. We saw all the milk we sell all the milk we can make to clover and the cows are in the barn twice a day hoping to get 6 to 7 gallons a cow. Reporter the demand is increasing but supply isnt keeping pace. Safeway at walnut creek had bare shelves. Theres just not enough organic mill to be go around. And the shortage would last through december. Stores across the nation are struggling to keep organic milk on the shelves. Its not easy to increase the supply either. These calves have to be raised Certified Organic. And it will be years before they are producing milk. Raising organic milk consumption means more organic cows, more organic dairies and hopefully finding the supply of hay and grain is smaller because those organic farms arent out there yet. Reporter milking process is controlled, too. The cows take special maintenance and care. Folks at the store say milk is important. Were in an Agricultural Community and its right at our finger tips so i might as well buy it. They just prefer organic. For taste. You have to get more money for it. Reporter back at jennifers farm theres one more issue, the drought. They dont have enough water to bring in more cows to help increase supply. In petaluma, don ford, kpix 5. And its not just milk. Other products using organic milk like cheese and yogurt may also be affected by the shortage. How about this . In just three months, filling up the gas tank could really start to hurt your wallet. Why gas could go up as much as 75 cents a gallon. When we come back. Could help them better dete gas leaks. The idea for this handheld device came fr pg e is testing a tool that could help them better detect gas leaks. The idea for this hand held device came from nasas mars rover. And the equipment used to detect methane gas. Pg e is using this device to help guide crews to a possible gas leak. Its based on laser technology. The gas detection tool would be ready for use by january. How about gasoline . Those gas prices have been falling across the state. Thats kind of nice. But its about to change. New Greenhouse Gas rules go into effect january 1. Fuel suppliers will need to buy carbon credits in order to comply. Experts say in all likelihood the cost will get passed on to drivers. Best guess is prices could go up anywhere from 12 cents to 75 cents a gallon. The air Resources Board says its not so sure about that prediction. You want to make sure that the public understands that its the government, its the air Resources Board, thats putting this allocation on fuel. What i can tell you is that we dont see any reason for any kind of an appreciable price increase. The money from the new greenhouse rules is supposed to go toward lowincome housing and also help fund californias bullet train. Now for a look at whats ahead on the cbs evening news. Scott pelley is in new york. Scott . Reporter hi, allen and liz. Great to be with you in the bay area.
