CAITLYN [On-cam]	Good evening. I’m Caitlyn Copfer... and this is San Francisco One. Our top story tonight...Captain Guy Kleess’s pilot license has been suspended following an investigation of his ship’s collision with the Bay Bridge on January 7th…the Overseas Reymar tanker collided with the Echo tower. This is the second ship-bridge crash in five years.   The state Board of Pilot Commissioners reports that Kleess miscalculated the distance between the towers and failed to communicate with ship personnel. The board will take him to trial. Hillary?
HILLARY [On-cam]	In national news, Congress passed a new bill that may make you want to reconsider what you make for dinner. The Farmer Assurance Provision... more commonly known as the Monsanto Protection Act... came into effect on March 26th. This bill protects the biotech industry... allowing the planting and selling of potentially harmful genetically modified seeds despite consumer concerns. The bill will remain in effect until September 30th 2013 at end of the fiscal year. Jillian?
JILLIAN [On-cam]	Thank you, Hillary. A federal judge ruled that the morning after pill now be made available to all ages without a prescription... The ruling overturns the 2011 decision by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that required a prescription for girls under 17. The new legislation will make Plan B available over the counter as early as May. And now to Judy with a local sports update.
JUDY [On-cam]	Thank you, Jillian. It was a big day for the San Francisco Giants... who celebrated their 2012 season in a World Series banner hanging ceremony earlier today. This before their home opener against the St. Louis Cardinals... who they defeated in a one-and-oh victory.   As if that wasn’t enough of a treat, sports fans caught a glimpse of a very special sight in the game’s first inning.
RAINBOW CLIP: Runs 5	Not one but two rainbows could be seen over A-T-and-T Park... an omen fans hope will forecast another victory for the twice-winning franchise.
Judy [On-cam]	For San Francisco One, I’m Judy Lavelle... we’ll be back after a short commercial break.
