long? the fast food chain that would be offering it this that's when we come back.

it was a tense day along the gulf kohl's as engineers kept a close eye on the new containment cap that shut off the flow of oil for more than 24 hours. this is a live look at the well right now. and although that oil geyser seems to have been stopped and it has been, there's concern over pressure readings and what they might mean. jay gray joins us from venice, louisiana. what about those readings tonight, jay? >> reporter: tom, we just got a new update and the readings are not where they would like them. after 24 hours and we're at that

point, they would have loved the pressure to have been at 7500 pounds per square inch pit's at 67. you just saw the pictures. there's a significant difference on the flee of the gulf and that's a good thing. not that big a change on the surface. it's been more than 24 hours now and still no oil. but there is, for the first time, a bit of uncertainty with the pressure readings not to the level engineering and scientists had hoped. >> we're moving ahead in six-hour increments so we can judge the data we have and make decision on moving forward. >> a fleet of underwater cameras help the engineers monitor the situation around the clock. underwater robots are scanning the floor of the gulf searching for any signless of new leaks. and from the white sand beaches along the gulf coast, to the white house, there's a cautious

sense of optimism. >> i think it's important that we have don't get ahead of ourselves here. one of the problems with having this camera down there is that when the oil stops gushing, everybody feels like we're done and -- we're not. >> reporter: evidence of that, the matz of booms, skimmers and northwests that still stretches on the coast. while the new containment cap has significantly changed conditions on the floor of the gulf it hadn't altered the situation on the surface just yet. >> it won't change anything. we we'll continue to pick up the oil every day that it comes in and hope for it to be less and less frequent. >> reporter: a hope, like so much here, depends on the success of this cap. >> let's get to the current status. not enough pressure or not pressure what they want to see it. not enough to stop the testing. they're continuing the testing for another six-hour segment. sometime overnight they'll

re-evaluate this data and make a decision to move forward or stop the testing altogether. if that happens the cap is still in use and they'll use it to funnel it to the earth's surface. live in venice, louisiana, tom, back to you. >> thank you very much for the update. one of the biggest mysteries surrounding sarah palin's recent vip sit has been answered. officials from cal state stanislaus said she was pays $75,000 for her speech the speech made news when the university refused to reveal the terms of her contract. that led to an investigation by attorney general jerry bloub's office into a possible violation of public disclosure laws. in the end, the school says it was the most successful fund raise her history and palin brought in more than $200,000 for the university. a second recall for bagged

and a flood near lake they he. yosemite, the same thing with scattered showers and thunderstorms that will also be in the mix for tomorrow. influx of southerly moisture helping to fuel this. across the higher elevations in the bay area we're currently dry and, well, it looks like it will stay that way out we continue throughout the night. look at what's back. the fog. 68 degrees and even with winds northwest at 23 miles per hour, these lower level winds are still hoping to usher in some cooler air near the coastline and at oakland, 70 with winds northwest at 17 miles per hour. what you note here is throughout the north bay and the peninsula, we did see a little bit of cooling as expected with 82 right now in novato and gillry, livermore and concord, conditions above average. that's a big part of the

scenario as we head to saturday. the fog will stick around as we head throughout tonight and tomorrow morning. for sunday, cooling winds for the entire bay area, even for spots that are inland. here's the fog today. it built up last night so we knew the areas near the coastline would be cooling down. but the thing is the fog. the cooling winds here that are moving in who want be strong enough to keep temperatures down for tomorrow. once again, hot weather expected for our saturday. for the inland spots. clear out here in the pacific but the ridge of high pressure in the southwest that will build the heat as we head to saturday for our inland locations for a mix of 80s and 90s coming back and then form sunday we'll see cooling for everyone at this point. tomorrow morning? upper 50s to near 60 with clear skies inland. here's some of the hottest spots. morgan hill with 97. 93 in evergreen. 85 in san jose.

heading north across the peninsula, temperatures will drop with 70s here in san mateo, also, redwood city and near oak lampbd. concord, 90. 93 in fairfield and for the north bay from 60 at the coast and 70s and even 90s in calistoga. more any time on the weather channel on cable. we talked about cooling july air, look at this, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, below average conditions coming back with upper 70s and low 80s. >> that will be refreshing by then, won't it? >> we can always count on it, right? >> yup. >> thanks, jeff. how much e-mail is too much e-mail. the new research on e-mails and the length. and why a popular breast cancer drug is now coming under fire by the fda. and the certain bsf o dog that could be most in danger during flight.

that said breast cancer patients that took this and received key mo did not survive any longer than those using other drugs but suffered significant site effects. next week, they will review the results and could remove this drug for breast cancer treatment. could excess weight and poor memory be linked in women? that's the finding of a new northwestern university study. for every point an older woman's body mass index increases her memory drops. previous research shows high blood pressure, diabetes can impair function to the brain and these conditions often go along with being overweight. when these kps are not present excess weight is tied to reduced memory showing that weight is a significant factor for memory loss. new research shows a link between stress and too many e-mails. and 50 seems to be the magic

number. a survey by harris interactive shows that 50 messages is where we feel overloaded. the effect the even more pronounced for smartphone users with more than a third saying they feel overwhelmed if more than 50 e-mails are waiting for them. small business employees have the lowest threshold, 94% want to go home with a headache if they have to answer m 5 e-mails. and coming back with the cheese burger that puts all the others to shame.
