to have the opportunity to deal with their own kids not be prosecuted criminally. >> i think it's a good warning for everyone out there. >> reporter: the elko police chief wasn't available for comment today although he did tell a newspaper that he basically gave the kids a slap on the wrist as a learning experience for them. we tried to reach the superintendent at the school. also not available for comment. so allen, it's not clear whether these children will face punishment here at school. >> thank you, christin ayers. these types of trips seem like an invitation for drugs and alcohol. linda yee looked into the tour company that organized the trip. >> reporter: it's four days of action, sports and entertainment, a $500 adventure package for high school students on winter break, except this week's tour had more than advertised. marijuana, drug paraphernalia and alcohol stashed in suitcases the owner of summer winter action tours or popularly known as s.w.a.t. told me it wasn't his fault kids violated the zero tolerance policy. >> it's a parent issue. >> reporter: he concedes teenagers on break mean trouble but they are often the minority. so in every trip there is a bad apple? >> of course. because i'd be naive. would you think i would be lying if i said no, it's a statistical stat. go on the internet and see what high school students do these days. >> reporter: he owned s.w.a.t. for 15 years. he is a former skier and world traveler and says his chaperones are trained to spot and handle troublemakers but students at acalanes high say drug use on the ski trip isn't a secret. >> the amount of drugs confiscated was like a ridiculous amount of contraband but like i mean, for how many kids were on the bus especially going on the trip like you would have to expect that like there would at least be some. >> reporter: some students say it's a well-known fact that it's a party trip. you do drugs, drink alcohol and have sex. >> totally disagree. if you knew my infrastructure and how much security i have and work with local law enforcement, if i was doing that i won be invited back to these hotels. >> reporter: the owner says the police should have arrested the kids in elko. >> but they need to be taught a lesson. i wish when they got to elko they actually all got citations so they would have to go back to court with parents and make it hurt more. what they did is confiscated everything, didn't write down any names, no citations, no police report, no nothing, and sent the buses to me. and i had to spend five hours investigating and i sent 17 kids home. >> reporter: he says it won't stop him from future trips. >> because it's very rewardable and like it makes good money and... >> reporter: tj says 95% of his customers are under 18. his travel company is licensed by the state attorney general. but it's not known if this warrants or if there will be any criminal investigation. a spokesman did tell me today that the attorney general usually doesn't investigate unless local law enforcement asks for help. >> thank you. a vancouver canucks hockey fan is recovering from a head concussion after a san jose sharks fan hit her at the shark tank. what makes it worse, the girl survived a brain surgery four years ago. don knapp with what happened. >> reporter: allen, was it just a swing of the arms of an overzealous fan from another team or a mistake. the latest incident left a 16- year-old brain tumor patient with a mild concussion. >> growing up that's what we watched all the time, grew up loving the canucks. >> reporter: 16-year-old canucks hockey fan maggie herger said she took a hit at the sharks-canucks hockey game a smack to the back of her head that sent her to the hospital with concussion. she blames a drunken female sharks fan. >> the second period the second goal everybody jumped up and then the hands came down hitting me on the back of my head. i was very blurry and confused and dizzy. >> reporter: she had surgery for a brain tumor in 2008. canucks players visited her at the canadian hospital back then. >> i had surgery in may of 2008. and the summer of 2008 i had gamma radiation and the tumor is still there, smaller but stable. >> reporter: her mother says she knows her daughters are respectful fans. >> i think what is bothering our family as a whole is the fact that the lady who hit maggie has not acknowledged it. you know? an acknowledgement, an oh, i'm sorry,anything would be nice to hear. >> reporter: as maggie was getting into the ambulance a 16- year-old says a fan yelled at her to suck it up adding insult to injury but the sharks staff and emergency workers were kind and caring. all she wants to hear is an apology from the woman she says hit her. as for the headache she says, as a brain tumor patient, she is used to it. the san jose sharks issued a statement saying, "arena staff along with san jose police interviewed the person who made contact with the injured fan who stated that the contact was accidental during celebration of a sharks goal. upon being interviewed others seated in the area didn't report seeing the contact between the parties involved." maggie and her sister say they took a lot of harassment from shark fans and foul language. she said an emergency technician soothed her with a photograph of one of their own paramedic bryan stow beaten the as a giants gain. >> is maggie just looking for an apology? >> reporter: that's what the family says. they feel bad about what happened. they talk about these sharks fans being very profane, being very aggressive and it's not what they experienced in canada. they weren't ready for this and would like to be able to go to games but felt too much hostility there. >> thank you. l.a. police are looking for a firebug. at least 19 vehicles went up in flames in and around hollywood this morning. in most cases someone's torched a parked car and the flames spread to homes and apartments. >> i woke up to the yelling of my mom and then we smelt it and ran outside like crazy and we saw our car and everything on flames and it was just terrible. it was horrible. >> so far there have been no arrests and no suspects. if you have pg&e, you are going to have to pay more next year. the utility says the increases are necessary to cover costs of buying energy, investing in new plants and equipment, and paying for special programs to help low income customers. pg&e says the increases are, quote, moderate. the average increase will be about 2.4% higher than what you're paying right now. also starting new year's day sunday, state law takes effect to make gas pipeline safer and provide better communication in the event of an emergency. this of course in response to the blast in san bruno last year. utilities will have to install renot controlled shutoff valves on pipelines. the puc will have to track the money spent on pipeline repairs. >> so if something like it were to occur again, the communication would be quicker. pg&e would know what happened quicker. and they could turn the gas off almost immediately if they so desired. >> assemblyman jerry hill says that would be the key difference, no time lost like there was in san bruno. governor jerry brown is well on his way to asking you for more money. according to the "l.a. times," his campaign to raise taxes next year has already collected $1.2 million. some of the biggest donors include a tribal group and a hospital industry political action committee. the governor wants voters to approve an initiative that would raise taxes on high income earners and boost the state sales tax by half a cent. it's heart-wrenching. it's like losing a member of his family. we just want him back. >> who would steal a monkey? the evidence that somebody snatched the guy called banana sam from a bay area zoo in the middle of the night. how safe are you when you fly? the big mistakes caught just in time and why some pilots claim new training programs aren't making the grade. >> i thought it was the end of my life. i saw the bottom and like there's nothing that i'm going to hold on to. >> the game of fetch that turned into a dangerous rescue operation for a california teenager and his dog. no laughing matter. zookeepers some monkey business at the san francisco zoo is no laughing matter. zookeepers say someone stole a amonkey in the middle of the night. joe vazquez reports. >> reporter: somebody cut two holes in the monkey habitat sometime overnight and stole a monkey named banana sam. taylor the squirrel monkey scrambles around his habitat and entertains the children but may be sad as he is now missing a friend named banana sam. >> there is a level of concern however this animal was taken was probably forceful and you know, it's heart-wrenching. it's like losing a member of the family and we want him back. >> reporter: banana sam is 17, about a foot tall and weighs only 2 pounds. early this morning, zoo employees noticed someone cut two holes in the outside mesh enclosure of the squirrel monkey exhibit. >> one was a fairly small hole about a foot long or so, the other hole fairly large, large enough for a small person to go in. >> reporter: the curator did a head count and noticed banana sam was missing the only one gone out of 18 squirrel monkeys in the collection. they have decided to remove almost all the other monkeys from display and keep them inside for the day. >> horrible. >> it perplexes me to think that someone would take one of those things. they are so cute and adorable. i could see why somebody would want one, but just i mean terrible thing to do to a zoo. >> reporter: who steal a monkey? >> i have no idea. unfortunately, primates in some states in the u.s. are legal as pets. they are not legal in california. primates do not make good pets. exotic animals do not make good pets. they belong here. >> reporter: the kidnapping is four years almost at that time day after the infamous escaped tiger incident. one young man was fatally mauled and two others injured after they taunted tatiana the tiger. officials have since restructured the tiger habitat here and insist they have adequate security in the zoo as a whole. >> in fact, they have surveillance cameras just not in that area where the monkey exhibit happens to be. you know, elizabeth, they said if someone is determined to steal one of the animals in this case, a monkey, well, then they might be able to just do that. they have stepped up security though. they say they will have it for the next several days. >> all right. joe vazquez, thank you. a san jose couple is arrested for illegally fishing and selling their catch on the black market. game wardens say the man and wife were on the radar for more than a year. investigators say they used a recreational fishing license to catch and sell sensitive species like sturgeon. they face multiple conspiracy and poaching charges. well, if you had a choice you certainly wouldn't want to be on a plane that's about to land without the wheels down. but that's reportedly what happened three times recently with the pilots fortunately catching the mistake each time. lee cowen reports as united airlines merges with continental airlines, some pilots are saying that learning new cockpit rules is affecting safety in the sky. when you get on an airplane your best hope is the pilot's training is as good as it can be. if you ask some cockpit crews today you might not get the confidence you're looking for. >> we're being tasked with learning that new procedure without an opportunity to effectively practice it. we are sitting at home reading. >> reporter: that is the worry of the united pilots union. after having to relearn procedures to fly some of the world's busiest routes, it's all because united merged with continental. and the new training practices for the brand-new combined airlines are making some pilots feel like they're back in flight school. >> there have to be one set of procedures so it's a lot of learning and retraining and that retraining requires a very robust training program to make sure it becomes inate. >> reporter: united pilots union worries there is too much internet learning and not enough on time spent in simulators. >> there's no substitute for being in a simulator practicing these procedures time and time again. it becomes part of your routine. >> reporter: the union claims there have already been incidents. pilots have been so distract by the new technique they have made mistakes forgetting to put the landing gear down for one. >> the procedures that i see in my cockpit have been changed dramatically. >> reporter: the airline though denies the allegations saying these claims are baseless and are an attempt to influence contract negotiations under a false guise of safety. >> nothing could be further from the truth. we have had to take our attention from our contract negotiations away from contract negotiations and instead focus them on safety. >> reporter: with the clock ticking the faa has given its policings to make the two airlines one. for now the training regimen remains. >> there are many incentives to quickly merge two different airlines and to achieve the cinergi and to realize the economic benefits of the merger and the sooner that's done the better the bottom line. >> reporter: merging two airlines is complicated enough. merging two training manuals, even harder. lee cowen, cbs news, los angeles. a 19-year-old hiker from southern california tries to save his dog. he slips off a cliff and finds himself in trouble, as well. >> the two were hanging on for their lives as the ground below kept sliding. a pretty dramatic scene here. ivan salas and his dog lola were hiking on this hillside in lake view terrace yesterday when lola fell off the cliff chasing a bottle. ivan went after her and they were stranded 150 feet off the ground. firefighters dangled out of a helicopter to rescue the pair. lola was saved first, then ivan. he made his way down the hillside using a safety harness. ivan says he would do all over again for his best friend. i thought it was the end of my life because i saw the bottom like there's nothing that i'm going to hold on to. and then i was like first i have to get my dog safe. if anything happens, i hope it happens to me not to my dog. >> the rescue took an hour and a half. ivan and lola are okay and back home. >> lucky duo. lawrence karnow in the house. what rain we saw whatever that was drizzle is gone, right? >> wasn't that exciting? [ laughter ] >> yeah. >> misting. >> something else around the bay area. a lot of drizzle showing up around the bay area today plenty of clouds of course but not much in the way of rainfall. we just can't get it cranked up this year. clouds outside right now. more of that throughout the night tonight and probably some thick fog out there as well too. for the rain though most of that stayed to the north of the bay area. we did have some reports of heavy drizzle at the coastline. actually squeeze in .10" of drizzle at the coast and pacifica. hi-def doppler showing you we are looking at dry conditions now. we can very well see some drizzle still down below but really the doppler probably shooting over the top of some of this moisture all locked in downstairs and that means we are probably going to see some patchy, dense fog around the bay area. nice evening around the bay area. temperatures cooling off. not too bad. 58 degrees in concord. 54 in san francisco. 58 in san jose. and 53 degrees right now in santa rosa. i think as we look toward tomorrow some improving weather. high pressure will start to build back into the bay area. i think we're looking at offshore winds kicking in so we start with patchy fog. by the afternoon we'll sneak in a little more sunshine partly cloudy skies. highs expected in the upper 50s at the coast, low to mid-60s in the warmest spots by tomorrow afternoon especially in the north bay where you get down slope wind. over the next couple of days, as we look toward the new year we are going to keep things dry into sunday. looks like even monday just another weak system passes by but stays dry. i think the next best chance of rain probably coming late next week but right now, no major rain in sight. that's a look at weather. back to you. >> thank you. gorgeous views, luxury amenities but what you see online not always what you are going to get. >> it felt gross and dirty. >> the hotel photo fakeout. that's in two minutes. but on the consumer watch, julie breathtaking views, posh pools, what you see on hotel websites but on the consumerwatch, julie watts explains that sometimes when you get there it's another story. >> reporter: it can be risky to book a room based on hotel photos and many find they are falling victim to the photo fake-out. >> it was a big shot. it was a lot different than the website. >> reporter: laura expected to get the finest modern amenities with old world elegance at a historic mayfair hotel in the heart of los angeles. after all, that's what it says on their site. but instead of the promised charming historic hotel -- >> it felt really gross and dirty. >> reporter: this is a room she saw online and this is what she got. >> the beds didn't even have covers on them. they had like a piece of flowered sheet. >> reporter: her photo shows ripped up carpet,er, exposed electrical switches, loaded up outlets and from her 12 story room. >> you can just open the window and reach out no safety barriers, no safety screens, bars, nothing. >> reporter: and when a cbs camera went inside, it revealed damaged baseboards, ripped up wallpaper, and an unhappy customer on the 15th floor. >> oh, my god, no. that's the most dangerous thing i have ever seen in my life. >> all too often would you kind of look online, research around, and then you got to the hotel you chose and it wasn't exactly what you imagined. >> reporter: his travel company oyster.com created something called the photo fake-out. his team traveled the 1500 hotels snapping pictures of what you really get. this los angeles hotel shows its pool under the southern california sky n reality, the view is eclipsed by a department store on one of the busiest streets in l.a. this washington, d.c. hotel photo which leads you to believe you're next to the capital, his team found you're not. >> this is a product that you can't see before you buy. and you certainly can't return it. and it has to be perfect. when they exaggerate they are taking that away from you. >> reporter: after her vacation experience in l.a., laura now learned you can't always believe what you see. >> if you are going to advertise that, you should be able to deliver it. >> reporter: the mayfair in los angeles declined to comment but remember, it's always best to read online reviews before you book a hotel. don't just rely on the star ratings. actually read what people have to say. if you use sites like trip advisor, simply google the name of the hotel, you'll find out a lot that way. >> i really wish she had known to email me because i grew up a block from that mayfair hotel. it hasn't changed. if you can read the reviews, unfortunately somebody has to experience it first to review it online. >> reporter: trip advisors and different websites send people to check the hotels first and sometimes they will post their own pictures. so there are definitely places online you can find some good recon. >> not just me. >> exactly. thank you. it's the night before the biggest party of the year and all the pieces are falling into place. in new york city, crews have hoisted up the six ton ball this will drop on new year's eve. they also tested the 3200 lights and 2600 crystal triangles. they also spent the day blowing up balloons, 25,000 of them. >> we're from san jose, california and we're here to spend new year's eve in times square in new york city. >> it's an experience. >> one million people are expected to ring in the new year in times square. the first real test of the presidential campaign just four days away. >> dealing with, you know, the real problems of real people in my family. [ crying ] >> today what brought newt gingrich to tears in iowa and why another candidate is comparing president obama to marie antoinette. >> that was fast. what convinced verizon to back off plans to charge a new fee just a day after announcing it. constant party, there were, you know, just all kinds of relphry going on. >> bay area housing for seniors. why are 30 years old moving in? test in the race for the white house is just 4 days away. and with our top story at: 30 the first -- at 6:30, the first real test for the race for the white house is four days away. with polls showing him in the lead a confident mitt romney made a rare campaign stop in iowa. as danielle nottingham shows us, his republican rivals are trying to cut into his momentum. >> reporter: crowds bundled up in the chill to hear a candidate with a campaign that's heating up. >> you know, the other day president obama said you know, it could be worse. that was his line, it could be worse. can you imagine hearing that from a pessimistic president? it could be worse. that goes down with marie antoinette, let them eat cake. >> reporter: mitt romney brought along a powerful ally. >> thank you. >> reporter: new jersey governor chris christie, a star among conservatives. >> i have emotions. >> reporter: struggling in fifth place, newt gingrich broke down at a cafe in des moines sharing memories of his mother. >> my whole emphasis on brain science comes in directly from dealing, uhm... >> i get emotional. from dealing with, you know, the real problems of real people in my family. >> reporter: the emotional exchange brought applause from the crowd of mostly mothers. michele bachmann has fallen even further in the polls and drew a handful of supporters in northwestern eye we wave. >> we were just dropping in. >> reporter: this hasn't been a typical year in the leadup to the caucuses. national debates rather than face-to-face meetings with voters have driven the polls. but handshakes are all the candidates have left before tuesday night. >> joining me cbs 5 political analyst joe tuman. welcome, joe. >> allen. >> it's the season. a lot of people still iowa caucuses, primaries, there is a difference. give us the breakdown of the significance of iowa. >> reporter: , iowa's primary significance full forgive the pun about primary is it comes first. and essentially what this means for us in terms of the significance politically in picking a republican candidate a potential nominee is it's most likely to thin out the herd of the candidates. i fully expect that after tuesday, you are probably going to see a couple of people drop out. the other effect if you win it even though it didn't guarantee you win the nomination is it makes it easier for money that's gathering on the sidelines to go in your direction as a candidate. barack obama raised close to $1 billion in 2008. that's going to be the benchmark for both parties this year. and there's a lot of that money now waiting to go especially since the supreme court said that corporations could contribute now in excess, as well. so they are watching to see what happens in iowa. the money will start flowing to the people wh win. >> it's about momentum and also about losing momentum. the ones at the end of the pack. who is likely to be negatively affected? >> i would look to michele bachmann as probably the easiest person to identify at this point. rick santorum pulls out a surprise finishing in the top three. he will stay. he could go. jon huntsman said he doesn't care about iowa but not being there symbolically will be hard for him and rick perry is also on the bubble in this race. >> hard to pull off not caring. up until now they have all been running against obama. when do they start running against each other? >> good question. i think they have to run against one another at this time and differentiate themselves. that's why they have been negatively attacking those at the front of the polls in the republican nomination but the other way that the republican party really should be using a place like iowa, allen, is not just to run against barack obama but to begin to test market if you like with voters what it is that the republican party stands for in 2012. what is their message? if their only message is going to be beat obama, then that's likely to be running against somebody instead of being for something. and an incumbent president will always beat that. if i were them, i would be trying to articulate a message that resonates with voters that they're for something in this message of the i think that's hopefully -- >> not just i'm the one who can beat obama. you have to do that. >> you have to do more than that. what i'm saying is one of the benefits of this caucus is they talk to each other is you can test market this. you can see what people are think. the democrats by the way are pushing middle class. they are going to be talking about a message that resonate with the middle class. that's where they are going to use this 99%, 1% messages out of the "occupy" movement. what are the republicans going to say to answer that? what's their message in 2012? that's what we are looking to find out of tuesday's results. >> we'll look forward to it and have you back. thank you, joe. >> happy new year. >> you, too. just when you thought it couldn't get worse you can count congress's approval waiting in one hand. a new survey finds just 5% of likely voters say congress is doing a good or excellent job. 68% rate the performance as poor. one of the world's most famous hacker groups is at it again. "anonymous" reliesed a wealth of sensitive -- released a wealth of sensitive data including email addresses and password addresses to a security site stratfor. it provides reports on international security to the government and military as well as to the private sector. that was quick. verizon has backed off its plan to charge customers a new convenience fee just for the privilege of paying their bill. yesterday verizon said it was going to start charging customers $2 to pay their bill over the phone or online with a credit card. customers were outraged and started an online petition against the fees almost immediately. today verizon posted a statement saying, customer feedback led to the decision to eliminate the extra charge. a bay area housing complex accused of age discrimination but there's a twist. why it's letting young families move into a complex for seniors. a snow shortage in the sierra. how ski resorts are trying to lure you up anyway. do ite [ closing bell ] the last day of trading on wall street this year. the dow closed down about 70 points despite all the wild swings we saw this year the market ending about where it began in january. for the

that allowed others to move in. original residents not too happy about that. >> we have this expectation that it was a senior community. >> reporter: jay was hoping to retire with some peace and quiet. >> constant parties. there were, you know, just all kind of revelries going on. >> reporter: so he moved to a gated senior community. >> so when we moved in, the first phase that we're living in is seniors only. and the second phase is still under construction. >> reporter: then the economy tanked. >> the condos on the other side aren't selling. so next thing we know they are starting to rent them all. >> reporter: entire families moved in. the seniors there first say this is not what they paid for. and the u.s. department of justice is suing santa rosa and the condo board for age discrimination because the seniors-only restrictions weren't enforced. >> frustrating as hell. we are so afraid now that even being on the board we will be held liable. >> we have had several neighbors that are now gone because they have lost everything. >> we moved here one year ago. >> reporter: donna is new to the american legal system. still, there is only one thing on her mind. >> can

still have a long way to go. skiers have been hitting the beaches and casinos instead of the slopes. as koula gianulias shows us, if more snow doesn't fall soon, jobs could be at risk. >> i think it's great. it's about time the season started. >> reporter: a surprise snowstorm lifted the spirits of holiday skiers. >> we night have gotten it for christmas but we are getting it for new year's. >> reporter: sugar bowl has been making snow up until today. but most runs remain closed leaving employees without work. >> we don't have all of our terrain open. so with that comes the subsequent impact on staffing. >> reporter: it's so slow, a nonprofit feeding the hungry is now reaching out to seasonal ski resort employees for the first time. >> everybody has low income right now. and everybody is kind of hungry and low on food so they have come out. they are a private organization and they have come out to feed everybody and it's much appreciated. >> reporter: tahoe hotels and restaurants are also eager for the snow to start falling as the new year rolls in. the holiday weekend seems slower for some. but alternative activities keep customers coming in. >> a lot of people participating in the snow park and just kind of coming out and enjoying the mountains. >> reporter: the golf course is still open because of the weather but most travelers we talked to say they were counting on some snow to make their new year's holiday complete. >> we were hoping that the snow would show up and it did. >> we'll find patches of snow and shovel some together and make a run. >> reporter: reporting in tahoe, koula gianulias, cbs 5. that's not amazing. but are you sick of people calling everything amazing?! even when something is not? you're not alone! that is one of the words on this year's list of words banned for misuse or overuse. this all according to a survey by michigan's lake superior university. amazing received more than 1500 nominations from all over the world. that tops the list.
