here is 680. this is south of highway 4. it is completely closed because the bomb squad is planning to detonate one or more of those pipe bombs that were found so again, this is a storage facility, affordable locker on first avenue. but the evening commute is definitely affected as they have closed 680 at highway 4. it's closed in one direction but traffic in the other direction obviously is being affected because people are slowing down to try and look at what's going on. but we'll keep an eye on this and update it for you here in the next couple of minutes. all right. a southern california city that has one of the state's highest alcohol-related traffic fatality rates may try to shame drunk drivers off the road. a city councilman in huntington beach wants police to start posting the mug shots of drivers arrested more than once on dui charges. the city ranks highest among 56 cities of its size in alcohol- related traffic deaths. the idea has been met with resistance from police and some in the public.

data, that's going to cost a bit more. sprint is raising the cost of its unlimited data plan by $10 from $59 to $79. that's the same as t-mobile but compare that to verizon, which charges just $29 a month for unlimited data use although that is on top of other fees. and at&t no longer offers the unlimited plan at all. at least not for new customers. for its part, sprint, the world's third largest carrier, says the hike is needed to maintain its network. the change takes effect january 30. verizon customers can say good- bye to a popular perk, the company is quietly ending its new every two deal. until now, customers got big discounts on new phones every two years. but not anymore. current customers who have been with the company for more than two years will be grandfathered in and will qualify for just one more discounted phone. however, the new customers like the thousands expected to leave at&t for the verizon iphone can forget about it. and finally, maybe you have

experienced vivid dreams and excessive sweating. you have to remember that the most effective treatment for hot flashes is still estrogen but there are concerns about hormone therapy so this points to a potential new alternative. that's always good. >> good news for a lot of women. thank you. robert sargent shriver peace corps founder former vice- presidential candidate, husband, father, has died. shriver has been in the hospital for several days. he was diagnosed in 2003 with alzheimer's. his career started in 1961 years after he married eunice kennedy when her brother president kennedy asked him to launch the peace corps project and he created other programs that to this day affect millions of people. sargent shriver was 95. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
