reporter: one of the most powerful people in the country comes to speak to hundreds, supreme court sonia sotomayor. what she had to say and the emotional response she got here coming up. and it was a lesson this teen won't forget anytime soon. the decision that sent this suv flying off the santa cruz wharf. and good evening. i'm jeff ranieri in the nbc bay area weather center. temperatures dropping into the 40s in the north bay. napa at 49 degrees. we'll talk about the wind and some problems it's creating now and also when a few rare january 70s return in just a few minutes. quite a catch. it wasn't a fish, but something much bigger being pulled out of the water in santa cruz. today, it happened today, it was a father/son driving lesson that went horribly wrong. nbc bay area's kris sanchez joins us from santa cruz to explain how the family car ended up in the ocean. kris? >> reporter: hi there, raj. we caught up with the father and the son here at the wharf today. dad says they're not ready to talk but seeing that boy's face was heartbreaking. he looked completely unsettled. this is how much of the railing he took out as he plunged the family suv over this fence and down into the chilly waters sinking about 15 feet. dozens of people watch as a massive tow truck drags this four runner from the chilly waters of the bay and back on to the santa cruz wharf. almost no witnesses around 10:30 this morning as the 16-year-old still learning to drive made what could have been a deadly mistake for him, his father, and the family dog. >> the son has a permit and was practicing driving. and accidentally hit the accelerator rather than the brake. >> reporter: the father and his son swam to a kayak landing on their own. their dog wesley swam to shore. now because the accident happened right across from the lifeguard headquarters, marine rescue swimmers were ready to help right away. though christian did not want to talk with us, we could tell by his face and that of his son that this was the scare of a lifetime. >> the other one is not sure which one they got out. you can see that the windshield is damaged so they could have easily gotten out of the windshield. >> reporter: something like this happens every three or four years. the christians were lucky. last time an elderly couple did not survive. so, again, father, son, and to go wesley, are all going to be okay. the suv is a different story. it's probably going to be a total loss since it was submerged in salt water for four hours. by the way, we did ask of the environmental impact of the vehicle going into the bay and it's expected to be minimal because it will dilute in so much water. >> that is quite an experience. thank you, kris. a so-called sleeper wave, the third time it's happened this year. a woman and her friend were on the beach at shelter cove when a large wave swept her into the ocean. the body of the 32-year-old woman was found after about 45 minutes. her was also swept away but it managed to swim back to shore. visitors will be careful with those large waves. a man was killed on new year's day when a wave caught his dog and he went out to rescue it and then in november a couple drowned and their teenaged son disappeared trying to save their dog when it was pulled into the ocean. >> two firefighters ended up in the hospital with minor injuries and a home suffered major damage after a fire broke out in east san hjose this afternoon. the fire started around noon on holly drive. 11 people were living inside the single story home. six adults and five children. the red cross has stepped in helping them find temporary home. >> some people are calling it the mayer effect, delivering profits and bringing good news to investors. our which is and tech reporter scott budman joins us with your money and more tonight. >> reporter: we'll start with yahoo! it's in a better place than we've seen in a long time. mayer is getting the credit for that delivering a quarterly report that came in ahead of wall street expectations and while admitting yahoo! still has a ways to go before truly competing with the likes of g g google bringing the profit numbers in high enough to bring some investors back into the fold. revenue growing for the first time in four years. yahoo! shares up about 3% in after hours trading. but if you want to talk real money, let's talk super bowl ad time, something like $127,000 a second during the game. why can't we see the ads now? because the companies making them want to get social. this ad for mercedes featuring a good looking model and a car in there somewhere will likely cost $8 million for a minute of airtime during the super bowl. now mercedes really wants to you watch it during the game so why is it posting the ad for free online a week ahead of time? >> you can potentially double the amount of people that saw your commercial, you save $4 million. >> reporter: we visited san jose-based three marketeers to see how the super bowl game has changed when it comes to ads. yes, the companies still expect us to watch tv, but that's only part of it now. >> it's part of a much larger plan. that campaign involves online, involves social media. it involves contact as well as, you know, the actual event itself. >> reporter: and that's the default now? >> the triple crown. >> reporter: for example, because awudi has to compete wih mercedes and other companies, it wants you to remember its ad and its brand beyond the tv set. if you get social with a product through youtube or facebook, maybe you'll be more likely to think about it when you're shopping for a soft drink or a snack. ♪ gangnam style >> reporter: even psy is getting into the act thanks to a company hoping his huge online following will transfer to television. >> the big part about advertising is branding and awareness and trying to create that association with your brand. much more than having them watch a commercial. you want them involved. >> reporter: and companies are willing to take a risk that you'll be more involved by seeing their ads over and over again before and after the game itse itself. remember, this comes from youtube advertisements that ran online before the super bowl were seen six times as often as ads that ran only after the super bowl. so you can expect what's happening this year to be the start of the trend. raj? >> thank you, scott. >>. >> reporter: you bet. let's check in with jeff ranieri. it's monday. we're starting the workweek. >> we have some awesome weather. look ahead here as we head throughout the upcoming week. right now we are tracking rainfall up into washington and also or are or. no rainfall from this for us. however, that cloud cover is increatesing here across

sparking outrage in oakland. save the gnomes. pg&e are facing off with residents. the fixtures have brought smiles but they say they could be a hazard and need to be removed. dozens of the tiny

been flooded with calls wanting to see the gnomes saved. pg&e tweeted it was trying to find them a new home. >> we don't know who that resident is but he or she is extremely wealthy. a sprawling estate has sold for more than $117 million. it is believed to be the second highest price ever paid for a home in the united states. the house sold in 2005 is nearly 9,000 square feet. very nice looking. it sits on nine acres and the pool house alone is the size of an average home. whoever it is, i'd like to get to know them. >> so quaint. still to come at 6:00, a profound shift in a

these restaurants, these bars are responsible, and they don't want to have any problems themselves so they'll be gauging when someone has had too much to drink and cut them off. >> reporter: but inside a bar opened in the mission district since 1858, the mere suggestion of banning hard alcohol was a sore subject for owner joseph irving. >> obviously overindulgence or c consumption is a problem but the argument that alcohol is the root of all evil goes back to what we've been fighting since prohibition. >> reporter: one of most popular searches on yahoo! today. while irving bristles at the thought, bartenders do have a responsibility to police their customers. >> we are licensed by the state of california to serve alcohol and as a function that have license we are expect ed every

almighty. a little super bowl xlvii. they spent the day talking to immedia media, casually getting ready and having team meetings, but when you have something to say, jim harbaugh says it big. you need a team most valuable player for the season. though he didn't have much production, the team mvp is alden smith. here is what alden smith had to say about the end of his year. >> i'm getting double-teamed a lot, triple-teamed and the quarterback is getting the ball up. the other thing that's really cool, if i'm not making a play, there's been times i'm getting double-teamed and the sack comes by somebody else. >> voted as our most valuable player, i think that speaks volumes for the impact he had on our team. you don't have the sacks there, that low hanging fruit for people to see. the thing alden is doing game in and game out. >> he's been dominant. every time he's in there, he's been dominant coming off the edge. he's been dominant stopping the run. he helps our team win a lot of games. so i definitely think he's up there for the mvp as well. last year he had 14 sacks. this year everybody questioned could he be an every down linebacker and he showed it. >> he's always doing his job. you know, i think that's pretty much the mvp always doing his job. you don't have to say too much to him and he's always producing. you know when we need a good play, he's able to produce that. i think he's very worthy of that award. >> you have guys that are on the team that are all-stars that made pro bowls consecutively. vernon davis, frank gore, man, i can go on. i come in and get the mvp. it means a lot. >> so ready for sunday and super bowl xlvii? you might as well spend the week in this great, unique town 0, the crescent city, new orleans. we are finding out the unique joys you'll find right down there. i juggle on the street to save for college. >> reporter: you juggle on the street. what does that mean? >> i try and convince people to stand around and watch what i do. i have the clubs and these knifes that i do right here. and basically it all leads up to me getting a sucker to lie down underneath me while i juggle knifes over them. >> reporter: a sucker. how often do those guys walk around here? >> if you want to do it right now -- >> reporter: do i look like a sucker? >> i think you look like someone who will go along with it. we'll get to the sucker part. >> reporter: how often do you drop them? >> nine times out of ten it goes all right. i got it nine times today and they've gone perfectly well. on the count of three, one, two, three. how are you feeling down there? >> reporter: i don't feel good. i don't feel good. >> all right. now is the part i have to stop. now i want to say this is the hardest part of the show because i don't always get to do this so i don't get to practice very much so hopefully this goes well and we're going to do it right now. >> whew. >> reporter: wow. >> that's my show. i hope you enjoy it. >> reporter: good work. thank you for not killing me. >> all right. the new man on the team. that's why he got that assignment. let's move on 0. all that alex smith did to lose his job was to suffer through a concussion in a game against the st. louis rams. many players want to turn their back on the team in that situation but not alex, he has earned the praise of his head coach. >> another person really to credit colin's success because he has helped coach colin. he's been right there at his side sitting in the meetings every day. and he coaches colin now more than i do, and that speaks volumes for the kind of person and teammate that alex smith is. >> the golden state warriors continue their road trip and a return from andrew coming up at 11:00 tonight, we'll show you him getting a start as the warriors took on the raptors and it was interesting watching ahmed fareed from that report with the juggling knifes. usually in our newsroom, guys, when we see knifes, they're being shoved into someone's back. reporting from new orleans, i'm jim kozimor. >> and at midnight tonight jim will be juggling the knifes and poor ahmed will be on the ground. >> don't say that. >> we're back in a moment. >> that's

catch. it wasn't a fish, but something much bigger being pulled out of the water in santa cruz. today, it happened today, it was a father/son driving lesson that went horribly wrong. nbc bay area's kris sanchez joins us from santa cruz to explain how the family car ended up in the ocean. kris? >> reporter: hi there, raj. we caught up with the father and the son here at the wharf today. dad says they're not ready to talk but seeing that boy's face was heartbreaking. he looked completely unsettled. this is how much of the railing he took out as he plunged the family suv over this fence and down into the chilly waters sinking about 15 feet. dozens of people watch as a massive tow truck drags this four runner from the chilly waters of the bay and back on to the santa cruz wharf. almost no witnesses around 10:30 this morning as the 16-year-old still learning to drive made what could have been a deadly mistake for him, his father, and the family dog. >> the son has a permit and was practicing driving. and accidentally hit the accelerator rather than the brake. >> reporter: the father and his son swam to a kayak landing on their own. their dog wesley swam to shore. now because the accident happened right across from the lifeguard headquarters, marine rescue swimmers were ready to help right away. though christian did not want to talk with us, we could tell by his face and that of his son that this was the scare of a lifetime. >> the other one is not sure which one they got out. you can see that the windshield is damaged so they could have easily gotten out of the windshield. >> reporter: something like this happens every three or four years. the christians were lucky. last time an elderly couple did not survive. so, again, father, son, and to go wesley, are all going to be okay. the suv is a different story. it's probably going to be a total loss since it was submerged in salt water for four hours. by the way, we did ask of the environmental impact of the vehicle going into the bay and it's expected to be minimal because it will dilute in so much water. >> that is quite an experience. thank you, kris. a so-called sleeper wave, the third time it's happened this year. a woman and her friend were on the beach at shelter cove when a large wave swept her into the ocean. the body of the 32-year-old woman was found after about 45 minutes. her was also swept away but it managed to swim back to shore. visitors will be careful with those large waves. a man was killed on new year's day when a wave caught his dog and he went out to rescue it and then in november a couple drowned and their teenaged son disappeared trying to save their dog when it was pulled into the ocean. >> two firefighters ended up in the hospital with minor injuries and a

children. the red cross has stepped in helping them find temporary home. >> some people are calling it the mayer effect, delivering profits and bringing good news to investors. our which is and tech reporter scott budman joins us with your money and more tonight. >> reporter: we'll start with yahoo! it's in a better place than we've seen in a long time. mayer is getting the credit for that delivering a quarterly report that came in ahead of wall street expectations and while admitting yahoo! still has a ways to go before truly competing with the likes of g g google bringing the profit numbers in high enough to bring some investors back into the fold. revenue growing for the first time in four years. yahoo! shares up about 3% in after hours trading. but if you want to talk real money, let's talk super bowl ad time, something like $127,000 a second during the game. why can't we see the ads now? because the companies making them want to get social. this ad for mercedes featuring a good looking model and a car in there somewhere will likely cost $8 million for a minute of airtime during the super bowl. now mercedes really wants to you watch it during the game so why is it posting the ad for free online a week ahead of time? >> you can potentially double the amount of people that saw your commercial, you save $4 million. >> reporter: we visited san jose-based three marketeers to see how the super bowl game has changed when it comes to ads. yes, the companies still expect us to watch tv, but that's only part of it now. >> it's part of a much larger plan. that campaign involves online, involves social media. it involves contact as well as, you know, the actual event itself. >> reporter: and that's the default now? >> the triple crown. >> reporter: for example, because awudi has to compete wih mercedes and other companies, it wants you to remember its ad and its brand beyond the tv set. if you get social with a product through youtube or facebook, maybe you'll be more likely to think about it when you're shopping for a soft drink or a snack. ♪ gangnam style >> reporter: even psy is getting into the act thanks to a company hoping his huge online following will transfer to television. >> the big part about advertising is branding and awareness and trying to create that association with your brand. much more than having them watch a commercial. you want them involved. >> reporter: and companies are willing to take a risk that you'll be more involved by seeing their ads over and over again before and after the game itse itself. remember, this comes from youtube advertisements that ran online before the super bowl were seen six times as often as ads that ran only after the super bowl. so you can expect what's happening this year to be the start of the trend. raj? >> thank you, scott. >>. >> reporter: you bet. let's check in with jeff ranieri. it's monday. we're starting the workweek. >> we have some awesome weather. look ahead here as we head throughout the upcoming week. right now we are tracking rainfall up into washington and also or are or. no rainfall from this for us. however, that cloud cover is increatesing here across

isn't. his office has since clarified lee wasn't calling for a ban on hard alcohol but merely suggesting restaurants and bars exercise responsibility, a point echoed today by the police department. >> these restaurants, these bars are responsible, and they don't want to have any problems themselves so they'll be gauging when someone has had too much to drink and cut them off. >> reporter: but inside a bar opened in the mission district since 1858, the mere suggestion of banning hard alcohol was a sore subject for owner joseph irving. >> obviously overindulgence or c consumption is a problem but the argument that alcohol is the root of all evil goes back to what we've been fighting since prohibition. >> reporter: one of most popular searches on yahoo! today. while irving bristles at the thought, bartenders do have a responsibility to police their customers. >> we are licensed by the state of california to serve alcohol and as a function that have license we are expect ed every

almighty. a little super bowl xlvii. they spent the day talking to immedia media, casually getting ready and having team meetings, but when you have something to say, jim harbaugh says it big. you need a team most valuable player for the season. though he didn't have much production, the team mvp is alden smith. here is what alden smith had to say about the end of his year. >> i'm getting double-teamed a lot, triple-teamed and the quarterback is getting the ball up. the other thing that's really cool, if i'm not making a play, there's been times i'm getting double-teamed and the sack comes by somebody else. >> voted as our most valuable player, i think that speaks volumes for the impact he had on our team. you don't have the sacks there, that low hanging fruit for people to see. the thing alden is doing game in and game out. >> he's been dominant. every time he's in there, he's been dominant coming off the edge. he's been dominant stopping the run. he helps our team win a lot of games. so i definitely think he's up there for the mvp as well. last year he had 14 sacks. this year everybody questioned could he be an every down linebacker and he showed it. >> he's always doing his job. you know, i think that's pretty much the mvp always doing his job. you don't have to say too much to him and he's always producing. you know when we need a good play, he's able to produce that. i think he's very worthy of that award. >> you have guys that are on the team that are all-stars that made pro bowls consecutively. vernon davis, frank gore, man, i can go on. i come in and get the mvp. it means a lot. >> so ready for sunday and super bowl xlvii? you might as well spend the week in this great, unique town 0, the crescent city, new orleans. we are finding out the unique joys you'll find right down there. i juggle on the street to save for college. >> reporter: you juggle on the street. what does that mean? >> i try and convince people to stand around and watch what i do. i have the clubs and these knifes that i do right here. and basically it all leads up to me getting a sucker to lie down underneath me while i juggle knifes over them. >> reporter: a sucker. how often do those guys walk around here? >> if you want to do it right now -- >> reporter: do i look like a sucker? >> i think you look like someone who will go along with it. we'll get to the sucker part. >> reporter: how often do you drop them? >> nine times out of ten it goes all right. i got it nine times today and they've gone perfectly well. on the count of three, one, two, three. how are you feeling down there? >> reporter: i don't feel good. i don't feel good. >> all right. now is the part i have to stop. now i want to say this is the hardest part of the show because i don't always get to do this so i don't get to practice very much so hopefully this goes well and we're going to do it right now. >> whew. >> reporter: wow. >> that's my show. i hope you enjoy it. >> reporter: good work. thank you for not killing me. >> all right. the new man on the team. that's why he got that assignment. let's move on 0. all that alex smith did to lose his job was to suffer through a concussion in a game against the st. louis rams. many players want to turn their back on the team in that situation but not alex, he has earned the praise of his head coach. >> another person really to credit colin's success because he has helped coach colin. he's been right there at his side sitting in the meetings every day. and he coaches colin now more than i do, and that speaks volumes for the kind of person and teammate that alex smith is. >> the golden state warriors continue their road trip and a return from andrew coming up at 11:00 tonight, we'll show you him getting a start as the warriors took on
