| 00:00:00 | Or any
of the uc campuses you need to
pay very close attention to
this story because a judge just
ruled you're owed big.
|
| 00:00:12 | They have been loud and as cbs5
cameras documented downright
unpleasant but the battle cry
of the university of california
students hats been the same for
the five years that the regents
agreed not to raise fees only
to do it once the students
signed on the dotted line.
|
| 00:00:31 | But some students have done
more take their fee fights off
the streets taking them to
court.
|
| 00:00:39 | A judge ruled in favor of the
students.
|
| 00:00:44 | >> Reporter: Representing 2900
students that attended business
school, law school, nursing,
theater film and television,
vetrinary medicine schools and
others at uc campuses.
|
| 00:00:57 | >> Every students in this class
accepted admission prior to
august 2003.
|
| 00:01:02 | >> Reporter: Near 3000 students
argued they decided to attend
uc because tuition was capped
even pointing out the uc
website says the fee will
remain the same for each
student for the duration of
their enrolment in the
professional degree program.
|
| 00:01:20 | >> We never said this to the
2003/ '04 students.
|
| 00:01:23 | >> Reporter: If you enter
professional school in 2002
they said it was capped.
|
| 00:01:30 | >> The judge didn't buy it.
|
| 00:01:32 | >> It is a bait and switch.
|
| 00:01:36 | >> Reporter: Some paid more
than what was advertised as
capped.
|
| 00:01:41 | A san francisco judge just
ruled they may reimburse $38
million on top of $48 million
another group of students were
just awarded for similar fee
hikes.
|
| 00:01:51 | So on the legal score card it
is students 2, university of
california.
|
| 00:01:58 | Attorneys for the regents
tell me there is a strong
possibility of appeal but the
real question is how much money
will you get if you attended
one of these professional
schools?
|
| 00:02:07 | >> Well, because this is such a
new decision the judge has yet
to dole out the exact amount of
money.
|
| 00:02:11 | I can tell you this it is all
about the amount of time you
spent here.
|
| 00:02:15 | So if you had a four-year
program you will likely get
three years of reimbursement.
|
| 00:02:19 | If it is a two-year program.
|
| 00:02:22 | One.
|
| 00:02:22 | Ken, a lot of money still yet
to be paid out.
|
| 00:02:25 | >> With tuitions and fees going
up literally every quarter at
uc, this money is what students
can use for sure
>>> possibly the worst kept
secret in politics.
|
| 00:02:41 | San francisco mayor's made it
official on cbs5.
|
| 00:02:44 | >> I am running for lieutenant
governor.
|
| 00:02:48 | So there you have it.
|
| 00:02:50 | No dance.
|
| 00:02:50 | It is official.
|
| 00:02:51 | We are filing formally today.
|
| 00:02:53 | And I'm in full steam ahead.
|
| 00:02:57 | >> The announcement comes three
months after he told a radio
station that he doesn't know
what a lieutenant-governor
does.
|
| 00:03:03 | He says he wants to put that in
the past and focus on fixing

overhauling our tax system to
encourage employers to start
hiring californians again and
my goal is to help create 2
million new private sector jobs
by the end of my first term.
|
| 00:04:06 | Whitman's campaign has been
long on promises, jobs,
education, balanced budget,
reduced taxes but some claim
short on specifics.
|
| 00:04:15 | While spending millions on ads
she has refused to take
reporter question like this one
from cbs5's hank plante.
|
| 00:04:23 | >> What do you think of the
website that is looking --
>> we have got to in the next
thing.
|
| 00:04:28 | >> No questions from the press
today.
|
| 00:04:30 | >> Reporter: Security crews
blocked cameras and put up a
shade to block access to
whitman.
|
| 00:04:35 | Criticism for some in her own
party over the incident may be
why she tried a new tact with
reporters.
|
| 00:04:42 | She spent a few hours talking
to them.
|
| 00:04:43 | But they tried to turn her
prior reluctance to talk to her
advantage.
|
| 00:04:47 | >> Won't be any screens if you
ask me any tough questions.
|
| 00:04:50 | So I'm hear to answer anything
you would like to talk about.
|
| 00:04:53 | >> Reporter: Spending an hour
fielding questions and has very
specific views on how to fix
california.
|
| 00:04:59 | >> Meg whitman is not in favor

I'm proposing.
|
| 00:05:04 | Jerry brown isn't either.
|
| 00:05:05 | Voters will have a choice.
|
| 00:05:08 | >> Reporter: Whitman's plan she
says is to take on the public
employee's union and reduce
state workers by 40,000.
|
| 00:05:14 | She said it is a too generous
pension system and deregulate
california.
|
| 00:05:23 | >> Regulations cost california
billions of dollars every year.
|
| 00:05:27 | And have taken almost 4 million
jobs out of our economy.
|
| 00:05:31 | As governor the first thing i
want to do is institute a
moratorium on all new
regulations.
|
| 00:05:38 | >> After whitman spoke
reporters and photographers
were allowed up on the podium
to speak with her directly.
|
| 00:05:43 | She did take questions.
|
| 00:05:44 | We managed to get one in about
how if she were elected
governor she would get all
those representatives and
senators in sacramento to go
along with what she wants.
|
| 00:05:53 | >> It is about leadership.
|
| 00:05:55 | It is about leadership.
|
| 00:05:55 | It is about creating a vision
for a better california.
|
| 00:05:59 | And about focusing on doing a
small number of things, having
the right people working for
you.
|
| 00:06:06 | And using that veto pen to make
sure that we don't get a whole
bunch of bills that have a
whole bunch of spending
attached to them.
|
| 00:06:15 | >> Reporter: Dana, that's how
you do it.

that they can do it without
republican support.

and use the reconciliation
process to ram through a health
care bill.
|

by that assertion we are not
ramming through anything I tell
my friend.

close for sure but if all goes
according to their plan the
president will sign an
everyhaul bill from two weeks

put in this vacant office spues
neighbors say is a bad example
of planning.

|
| 00:08:40 | >> Reporter: A use totally
incompatible with their
neighborhood.
|
| 00:08:43 | But what neighbors are fighting
against isn't a junk yard
moving in, it is the police
department.
|
| 00:08:48 | >> The downside to having the
police department so close is,
number 1, property values.
|
| 00:08:54 | Number 2, there is going to be
s.w.a.t.
|
| 00:08:57 | Teams there.
|
| 00:08:58 | The canine unit will be there.

| 00:09:16 | We have a great police
department here.
|
| 00:09:17 | We are big fans of them.
|
| 00:09:19 | We just don't think it makes
sense to put a police
department right in the middle
of a residential district.

|

department has more than
outgrown its current office
space.

hold due to the economy.
|

move the police department in
as a temporary home.

opportunity to get it before it
turns bad.

for the idea and wants the city
council to eventually redevelop
the property into something
more compatible in the future.

surprised by such strong
neighborhood opposition.

| 00:10:04 | >> They may have drawn
conclusions off of large cities
that may have jails.
|
| 00:10:09 | They may have drawn conclusions
off of what they see on t.v.
|

could draw that and kind of
amplify fears that really are
unfounded in a neighborhood
like san ramone.

selected.

marshall in san francisco and
in vallejo, franklin and middle
schools.

used for years all over the
world.

keep your baby warm on cold
days like today.

something with your child.

|
| 00:16:44 | Take a look at this.
|
| 00:16:47 | Umbrellas out in full force.
|
| 00:16:48 | I'm about ready to share some
of the rainfall totals today
but I found them very
misleading because they were
taken from 4:00 a.m.
|
| 00:16:55 | To 4:00 p.m.
|
| 00:16:56 | This evening and if you were
out and about like these guys
were for the evening commute
you know we had a lot of rain
after 4:00 p.m.
|
| 00:17:02 | So let's take a look at some of
those totals.
|
| 00:17:09 | SANTA ROSA WITH 6/10ths.
|
| 00:17:11 | 2.30 Inches of rain there.
|
| 00:17:12 | Otherwise we did see over an
inch.
|
| 00:17:15 | About half inch in san
francisco.
|
| 00:17:18 | And that is very misleading
because all of our rain gauges
do suggest that san jose picked
up over half an inch of rain.
|
| 00:17:23 | 00
p.m.
|
| 00:17:26 | This system has produced some
very high swells.
|
| 00:17:33 | 18 To 30-feet wave faces.
|
| 00:17:35 | Ocean beach.
|
| 00:17:36 | 8 To 14 feet.
|
| 00:17:38 | The water temperatures at 52
degrees.
|
| 00:17:40 | This is a cold front that
generated the high swells for
your saturday now due east of
the bay area as it also sags to
the south and will leave the
northern half of the state with
58 degrees at the state
capital.
|
| 00:17:54 | MID-50s.

TEMPERATURES IN THE 40s.
|
| 00:18:01 | Tomorrow's daytime high
temperatures with the sunshine
slightly warmer than today.
|
| 00:18:06 | WE ARE GOING WITH 50s AND 60s.
|
| 00:18:08 | Still slightly below normal.
|
| 00:18:10 | By the way, today when we had
all the rain, we did have one
of our weather watchers ron
coleman grabbed his video
camera and he went out and this
is what he shot for us.
|
| 00:18:22 | >> Great weather for ducks here
this morning in antioch.

to enjoy my backyard pool.

but not tomorrow.
|
| 00:18:33 | 62 Degrees for your saturday.

SUNDAY AND YES INTO THE 70s ON
Monday through friday.

gang.

ahead one hour before you go to
sleep.
|
| 00:21:05 | >> More time to wash your car.
|
| 00:21:10 | >> Most of us love that extra
daylight in the evening but as
ben tracy shows us perhaps we
should be more worried about
that one hour of sleep that we
are going to lose.
|
| 00:21:20 | >> It is car washing time.
|
| 00:21:25 | >> Reporter: Set our cars
forward or back?
|
| 00:21:27 | >> I love the extra daylight.

a.m.
|
| 00:21:34 | Sunday morning.
|
| 00:21:35 | It is supposed to save energy
pushing daylight later in the
day meaning fewer lights turned
on at night.
|
| 00:21:42 | Benjamin franklin annoyed by an
early sunrise in paris first
hatched the idea.
|
| 00:21:47 | It was made law in world war i
by congress to conserve energy.
|
| 00:21:53 | >> Reporter: When we jump ahead
one hour on sunday that one
little hour of lost time has a
big impact.
|
| 00:21:59 | The number of serious heart
attacks goes up 6 to 10% on the
first three workdays after the
time change.

say sleep deprived traders
