reporter: with cloud service companies growing so quickly, cloud security companies like zscaler are moving fast to score new business, which requires new employees like stan duffy who recently came over from -- you guessed it -- bluecoat systems. >> so much of their skill set we'll be able to utilize here. they have so much of a head start on understanding what we're trying to do here compared to your average, you know, network engineer, having worked with bluecoat gives me a huge leg up on being able to come in here and actually be productive right away. >> reporter: so the zscaler van drives on, slowly cruising past older companies offering the promise of something new: an opportunity. >> there's no doubt it's an exciting time, and i think in many ways, the valley here is leading

rain. we're now at a negative 7.45" deficit in the entire bay area. this time last year, we had triple the current amount. as many of you know, it's been a big contrast from last year, but those numbers really go to show how dry it is. in fact, in many spots we're actually rivalling how dry it is in the desert southwest. for today we did top out at 50 in san jose, 60 in livermore and upper 50s to low 60s in the north bay. feeling like winter here with the cloud cover in place, but these current numbers are dropping right now with 50 in san mateo and 56 in sunnyvale. we do have the golden gate bridge, i believe, and no low-level cloud cover. what we're finding is mainly some clearing through tonight. we may have some isolated areas of patchy fog developing, but that's going to be about it at this point. high pressure, to get back to my map, that's going to be settling in, and not only bringing us warming here that we would see in july and august, but it will also take these temperatures and bump them up about 50 degrees. so our trend when it comes to cloud cover will be gradually clearing out into tomorrow morning. a few light areas of fog, as we mentioned. areas in the south bay may develop but we're not expecting a widespread event. then as we head to tomorrow afternoon, wall-to-wall sunshine back down here in pacifica and down here in san jose. that will mean temperatures for the morning will start off colder here with 40 in santsa rosa, 41 in napa. we'll look at clouds in the early morning hours. then we'll get rid of the cloud cover in the afternoon.

bay area's chris sanchez joins us live from campbell with what's in the works. chris? >> reporter: good evening to you both. well, in the state of california, there are no hard, fast statistics on grooming injuries, but there are enough that any pet owner can tell you one or two themselves. and that is a reason why one california lawmaker wants to change things and make sure that pet groomers have to be licensed as well. >> cici is pretty calm in the hands of her groomer. he's been trimming, bathing and clipping for nine years. >> you don't really need any training or background because it's not really regulated right now. >> reporter: if that changed, he said that would abe good thing. >> i think it's necessary that all groomers get certified so people can be comfortable knowing the person grooming their animal is experienced and certified and actually knows what they're doing rather than just being a cashier who got pulled off their duties because they were, you know, short of staff. >> reporter: gilpin said that actually happened at another shop where he worked. while bradley's owners are happy with the care that he gets here, he's had some less than perfect grooming elsewhere. >> he was cut so closely that you could just tell maybe he was hurting in a couple spots. so that was disturbing to us. >> reporter: stories like those and worse prompted a california lawmaker to write a bill requiring pet grooming licenses. he said bill 969 would require groomers to get vocational training, pass a state exam and pay as much as $350 for a license. some groomers say that's too much money for what they already pay for their tools. but pet owners said they would pay the bill. >> you have the potential for injury or using instruments that aren't cleaned properly, so just having that training, i think, is important. >> reporter: senate bill 969 has now been referred to committee for further review. i will say in the past there has been legislature similar to this

him to death, they believe with a potted plant. police confirmed the victim called to report the trespasser first. but neighbors say no police officer showed up until the victim's wife called again after the assault began. there are reports that berkeley police couldn't respond quickly because they were too busy with occupy protesters marching from oakland to the uc berkeley campus that evening.

one. it basically keeps its victims on the top of the avalanche rather than be completely buried in it. she said the device saved her life. >> it's not like you're taking an intertube ride down some snowy field. you definitely are in the avalanche and it feels like you're in a washing machine and you're being flipped and tumbled and it's white the entire way. it's very scary. >> three men in
