Urgent to this search. The search was suspended overnight and resumed at dusk. Search teams are hoping the tracking dogs will able to pick up a fresh scent today. The problem is tracking a Mountain Lion is not an exact science. This Mountain Lion has traveled this area multiple times. There are literally paw prints that crisscross back and forth. Its hard for the federal tracking dogs to tell which are the most recent. On top of that, it was hot yesterday and the heat tends to suppress a scent. Theyre hoping to have better luck today. The Mountain Lion attacked a little 6yearold boy yesterday afternoon around 1 00 and pulled him to some brush. His family and another family of five were hiking a trail near the winery. A witness says the child suffered injuries to his neck and back and was bleeding very badly. The local Wildlife Agencies want this animal caught because its likely hell attack again. Even after the attack, the evidence, in fact, the tracker did find evidence to suggest that lion actually followed that family back down to their car when they were trying to get the child to safety. That is indicative of extremely aggressive, dangerous behavior from a lion. While this search continues, area trails are closed. The boy has survived and is recovering at Valley Medical Center where his condition has improved from fair condition to good condition. Now, just because there are search teams looking for this Mountain Lion doesnt mean that theyre actually going to find it in the last attack in the summer of 2012. They looked for six days. And that happened in another part of the state. They looked for six days and still couldnt find the Mountain Lion. If it is found in this case, that Mountain Lion will be euthanized.

But so far, havent found a single trace of the plane or the 239 people on board. For the families of the missing, the past six months have been torture. Nbcs tom costello reports. Its a mystery that for six months has held the world in suspen suspense. No word on what went wrong, on the 239 souls onboard. Continuing search. The airport no closer to knowing what happened. But this morning, still little to go on in the search for flight 370 and the 239 people onboard. Phillip wood is still missing. I miss his daily presence. I still feel him in my heart.

Investigators soon discovered evidence that someone had turned the plane around and flown it into the remote southern indian oce ocean. Suspicion has focused on the captain. Meanwhile, engineers analyzing attempt at Satellite Communications or handshakes with the plane believe it went down here somewhere along this arc. But where . The 23,000 square miles and the ocean is vast and deep. An intense search in the air and on the surface and under water using an unmanned submarine found nothing. Now, using a failed call to the plane via satellite, experts have refined the search area again. And a new phase of the search is about to begin. We will not give up.

Out there picking those grapes, chardonnay and pinot, next week merlot and the final weeks, theyll be picking the cabernet. Like to let you know as things are happening so you can enjoy wine country. Temperatures comfortable monday through thursday. Low 80s today, upper 80s for tuesday and low 90s wednesday into thursday. Overall, not too bad up there. And i know after a hard days work, i like to toast a nice glass of wine. Lets all do it together. It would be even better. Meredith vieira might join us, as well. Shes back on tv today. I sat down and talked to her about a new talk show. Cbs is sticking with uk talent as it shifts hosts on the late late show. Hes taking his accent with him when he leaves the show at the end of the year. Cbs hired james corden to be his replacement. Corden is a broadway star. He won the tony award two years ago for his role in the play one man, two governors. A familiar face is returning to nbc today. Meredith vieira bringing her charm to daytime tv. I traveled to new york to find out whats in store. The amazing, the beautiful, Meredith VieiraMeredith Vieira is back. Monday, the veteran journalist and talk show host starts a show of her very own. So she wanted it to be a true reflection of herself. This room is designed, the set is designed to look like my family room. And i really wanted it to be as true reflection. The idea behind the new show is that youre just hanging out with an old friend. If you were hanging with your friends, you would be sharing a story that could be a sad one, a happy one, but youre sharing, connecting. Might be playing a game, might have music on. Weve got a band. Right. Nice. So theres going to be a lot of humor and heart and information, too. Television isnt new to the veteran broadcaster. You know her from who wants to be a millionaire and, of course, on the today show. Im matt lauer, and i couldnt be happier than to welcome the woman sitting next to me to our family and our team. She sat alongside matt lauer before retiring to spend time with her family. That didnt last long. Why do you want to do this . I dont know. You had a chance my family, though, wanted me out. It was apparent itll be fine. I missed the connection with people. I really do. And i wasnt. I wasnt done. And i wanted to do a show that reflected me. I didnt want to have my name on it, but thats the way it goes. And my sensibilities, and just try it. Why not. She says she wouldnt mind taking the show on the road one day. Shes not a stranger to the bay area. I love california so much, and i would love to go i try to get there whenever i can. You know what i really love is it tiburon . Sams, you know sams . Shout out to sams. Many times. The people are great. Well, were really excited for your show, especially on nbc bay area, 3 00 going to be in our living rooms every day. Maybe some time you can help me make dinner. Im terrible at making dinner, ill share a drink with you, though. Now we have another drinking buddy. I know, i know. Shes so sweet and we wish her the best of luck. She appeals to, you know, people our age, my mother who is very excited to see she was going to be back on. Shes so genuine, a great person. So a reminder, you can watch the Meredith Vieira show weekdays at 3 00 in the afternoon right here on nbc bay area. Still to come, a new record holder when it comes to carrying lots of beer. Just how many liters of beer this man was able to hold at one time on a tray. It is the time of year when you send the kids to school with a sweater and they come back going, i dont know where it is. That happened to me last week. What about today . One of those days. Definitely. But you know what, its really nice. Look at these numbers. We all know septembers one of our best months here in the bay area. Not too hot, not too cold. You probably dont need your ac anywhere across the bay area today. You might need it tomorrow, though, as temperatures do trend warmer. And then were going to feel the warmup wednesday into thursday. But overall, weekend looks good. Summer trying to hang on there a little bit. All right. Good deal. It is still september, but apparently thats close enough for some beer fans in germany. Yeah, apparently holds oktoberfest early and the highlight is an odd competition. Take a look at this. Can you balance that . They compete to see who can carry the most full mugs of beer at the same time, a distance of 40 yards. One managed 26 mugs but was bested by a coworker who managed 27. Its not just a balancing act, 27 of those 1liter mugs weighs nearly 140 pounds. Hes got strong guns there. Yeah. So theyre holding it here, not holding it here. Right. I dont know. I dont think i could do it. No. One at a time. Thanks so much for joining us, our next newscast tonight at 5 00. You can get the very latest information all day at nbcbayarea. Com.
