geithner spoke in palo alto yesterday. he said the administration is giving top priority to curbing unemployment but he admits it's not easy. >> what do you say, what hope do you give the 35-year-old unemployed automobile worker in detroit? >> i think the only answer you can say is it is important that we all recognize that the government has more work to do to solve these problems to repair the damage to get those people back to work as quickly as possible. >> critics say geithner really didn't address the specifics what the administration is doing it get the people back to work. they say many of the unemployed can wait around for incentives for business to trickle down for them. >> hollywood movie studios are working hard to get consumers to buy more of the movies they watch online and more americans than ever are turning to the internet to watch films but they're renting, not buying. that's especially worrisome to studios who made a lot of money

revealed. it is now 5:33. a new development in the aftermath of the san bruno pipeline explosion. the utility is offering to buy the homes destroyed but the deal may actually hurt residents. jenelle is here to explain. >> kristen, it appears to be a very generous offer and probably is. pg&e is offering to buy out residents of the san bruno fire and explosion and if residents take the offer within six months there's a heft bonus, $50,000. the report in the san francisco chronicle says these kind of offers are not unusual but not unprecedented. pg&e wants to help residents rebuild their lives as quickly as possible. lawmakers say the gesture will help restore the public's confidence in the utility company. but an attorney representing about half a dozen victims says the offer gives too much control to pg&e which could hinder residents from seeking damages in court. pg&e began distributing the offer late last week. it comes to many victims who

worry about the value of their land after the september 9th gas line explosion and fire that killed eight people, destroyed 37 homes and damaged 18 more. residents are entertaining the offer but want to know how much they would get for sure. for those who don't take the buyout, pg&e's also offering a $50,000 bonus for those who want to stay in the neighborhood and rebuild their homes within 16 months. another offer would compensate homeowners who sell to a third party and receive less than what the market value was before the explosion. pg&e is also creating a neighborhood restoration plan offering as much as $10,000 to homeowners near the blast that want to beautify their property with paint or landscaping. a preliminary report released last week shows there was no signs of extensive corrosion in the pipelines. a small gas pressure spike just before the blast doesn't appear to be significant enough. a final report is expected by next september with another update in the next few months.

kristen. >> jenelle, thank you. 5:35. after a partial closure that lasted 13 hours, all lanes on southbound highway 101 just reopened in march began hill. this closure began after 43 pounds of wax jackknifed and overturned yesterday afternoon. before it could be uprighted, another tanker had to be brought in to off-load the wax. it took four hours to open up three lanes. that caused big delays for the commute. early this morning a big-rig tow truck slipped while trying to upright the tanker so another tow truck had to right both vehicles. the chp is investigating the crash. >> angry emeryville residents are expected to pack the city council meeting where ikea officials hope to expand to a warehouse located blocks from their current store. ikea customers would be sent to the 60,000 footwear house located at hollis and 53 streets to pick up large items purchasedty store.

daily truck deliveries would start as early as 7:00 in the morning and customers would pick up furniture as late as 10 p.m.. residents complain the expansion would mean more potential traffic and noise but city planners okayed the expansion in august. >> 5:37 with the game starting at 1:00. boys, a lot of pressure on mike to deliver. wow! who knew you were a mascot, mr. thomas. >> well, you know, i like to be unpredictable. mike? >> yeah? hi. oh! >> wrong! >> it's in here where it counts. as usual, very understated. >> very subtle. >> very much. we have the nlcs. it's back here at at&t park. why don't we zoom on down and see what you can expect. 43, 44,000 of your other friends hanging out at at&t park this afternoon. 1:19 first pitch. sunshine and mild temperatures. 64 to 68.

stalled big rig southbound 101 past 580. it is blocking the right lane and may be out there for a while because apparently it's carrying a lot of concrete so it could take a while to clear this one. traffic light through san rafael approaching 580 but we'll keep an eye on this one for you this morning and let you know if delays develop. you've got the giants game, at&t park at 1:19. there's new taxi stands set up at around 3rd street. may want to consider that and also consider mass transit. if you're taking the ferry with the special alameda oakland ferry, leaves oakland 11:30, alameda and gets you right at the game at 12:20. no delays and bart week, bart will be running longer trains as well. eric, kristen. >> frances, thank you very much. it's 5:39. >> while giving away prizes. the hunt on in the east bay. hires a hunter to stop wild

it's not going to get near anybody and keep people safe because they can be very, very mean animals. no doubt about it. >> police say they already chased one pig away from a park where kids were playing. the permit only allows the hired hunter to shoot a pig as long as it's 150 feet away from a resident. that hasn't been easy so this hunt may go on a few weeks. the meat is being sent to a processing shop and given away to people in need. i'm allen wong, abc 7 news. >> it's 5:45 now. two big mortgage lenders resume foreclosing on homeowners. the big report is still ahead. >> the cost of vandalism. why san francisco's most popular park could soon put up the closed sign overnight. >> the attention of congress. just ahead, the question some lawmakers are asking now. >> and counting the waiting time. a u.c. berkeley study comes up with the astronomical cost of
