deadly explosion and fire in san bruno. pg&e answered questions for two hours from mayors, jackie speier in a closed-door meeting. they learned that because the pipes are all of different diameters there is no easy way to evaluate them. they would have to go with pressure testing, taking large segment of pipeline out of service for long periods, a second concern there are inconsistent results on a stretch of pipe north of the san bruno runture . the mayors' third concern, pg&e's apparent contention that the age of the pipes is not a major factor in determining their integrity, that it's only important in 10% of the cases and jackie speier expressed frustration that federal authorities haven't determined a cause of the san bruno fire yet. >> i think there's just an ongoing frustration that we still don't know why the pipe exploded in the glenview area. and until we know why, it's hard to know what steps need to
12:07 pm
be taken to protect residents throughout the region. >> reporter: pg&e is expected to have a more complete review of its pipeline network to the puc by december. now, reporters asked the pg&e representative for comment after the meeting and she said no and referred us to a phone number, which was the storm damage hotline. now this friday there's expected to be a town hall meeting at 6:30 at saint robert's catholic church in san bruno. members of the pg&e, puc and the ntsb all expected to attend. >> thank you. in other headlines in the bay area, investigators are looking into a suspicious fire at an apartment complex in hayward. 20 people had to evacuate when the fire broke out in the carport. nobody was hurt, but four cars were destroyed. one apartment unit was damaged the two teenagers accused of setting fire to a san jose school are expected to enter their pleas in court this afternoon. that fire at trace elementary school caused about $10 million

12:21 pm
shot grant. a jury convicted him of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting in 2009. the defense had requested probation. in the court filing prosecutors didn't say how much prison time it wants the judge to issue. mehserle does face up to 14 years behind bars and his sentencing is set for november 5, a week from friday. good thing the yankees lost because some folks could miss out on the world series because of a fight between cablevision and fox. some 3 million subscribers have been blacked out of fox programming for 10 days now. apparently both companies trying to settle this fee dispute by tomorrow but as tracy said, game one of the giants rangers series is tomorrow. not having cable may not be such a problem if you have the right device. on the consumerwatch, julie watts shows us how you can get hd quality tv without cable. >> reporter: ah, hd. an industry game changer.
12:22 pm
but with the high price of cable these days, getting that crystal clear picture can cost you a pretty penny. >> is she 20? >> $89? >> that's a lot! >> yeah. cable's expensive. >> reporter: well, here's a little known secret that your cable company probably won't like. you can get a picture as good as hd with no strings or cable attached. >> technology moved ahead and digital tv makes this possible with really good results. >> reporter: cnet's brian cooley points to the growing number of portable televisions that pick up local channels over the airwaves with a crystal clear digital picture. it's a big business that works because it comes in a small package. >> because the screen is small, it's easy to make a picture look good on a small screen. it's big screen at home that's a tougher challenge. so this doesn't even need hd nor does it get it to look great. >> reporter: but we all remember the old portable tvs with the grainy flickering picture. so we decided to put this tv to the test. we got a great picture outside with this 3.5" avio from radioshack, but to keep a
12:23 pm
clear picture we did have to hold it still. we found similar mini dtvs on best buy.com like the axion and koby. and brian cooley says, this is just the beginning. cell phone companies are now starting to design phones with a built-in dtv. >> anyone who thought portable tv doesn't work, try it again because now it does. >> reporter: he admits the mini tvs aren't for everyone. but for those looking to save a few bucks... >> i'd look into it. >> some prefer to watch the big game on the big screen. >> that's cool. julie watts, cbs 5. ,,,,,,

dentures are softer than teeth. and a lot of people, when they get a denture, they think the best way to clean it is by brushing it with toothpaste. toothpaste contains abrasives that scratch dentures, leaving microscopic crevices where bacteria can grow, and bacteria can cause bad breath. the best way to go is to soak them in polident. only polident is proven to clean without scratching and kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria. i recommend using polident and soak every day. it's the right way to go. after another. and another. just a dishonest politician, trying to hide his record of failure.
