Delta Quake Danger, FasTrak Lanes, Hip-Hop School, Political Posters

While most residents know what "the big one" could do, few are aware of the impact a major quake in the Sacramento area would have on our water supply. Reporter Derrick Shore travels to the Bay Deltawhere a huge but aging network of levees could be devastated in a major quake, cutting off almost a third of Southern California's water supply. "SoCal Connected" talks to a water expert who has been warning of the danger for years, as well as a farmer and engineer who say the danger is exaggerated. The issue is tied to the controversial proposal to build two 35-mile-long tunnels beneath the Bay Delta.

Two years ago when sections of two freeways were converted to toll roads, drivers were angry and confused. Today 350,000 drivers have FasTrak accounts and transponders. At the same time, the popularity of these express lanes has caused a decline in average speeds. Reporter Conor Knighton looks at the FasTrak experiment on 110 and 10 freeways to see how experts and drivers feel about these so-called "Lexus Lanes."

Cesar Rivas came to the U.S. from warn-torn El Salvador when he was 12. He lived in a neighborhood with gang and drugs. Then he discovered Hip Hop and break dancing. Reporter Nick Hardcastle looks at how Lil' Cesar started the Hip Hop School of Arts in Pomona where hundreds of children and teens are finding an outlet for their energies. But can the school survive?

The Center for the Study of Political Graphics is a repository of 85,000 of political posters. Its founder and director, Carol Wells, recalls the turning point in her life when she went from typical teenager to political activist. It happened in Century City on June 23, 1967.
