the building and a k-9 had to help get him down. a police k-9. he was apparently bitten by the dog as well, that's why an ambulance had to come. that suspect appears to be already. when the cops got both of these guys in custody and cleared the building, they found a pot farm, over 120 plants and some dried marijuana, as well. they called the operation very sophisticated, with a ventilation system in the building. and here's what one of the suspects had to say about his lack of involvement, according to him. >> i was at the park smoking a significant rent on the phone my female going to come get me and then his partner just slammed me and said what i'm doing? i said [bleeping] talking to my girlfriend. that's how it happened. >> reporter: the police obviously thought there was something more to his story than what he was telling. the police also say that they have been to a bust in this building one time before. so again, we have seen 80 oakland cops laid off recently

courthouse arson. octavia walton and benjamin stickle are from vallejo. stickle was already in jail on unrelated charges. the fire happened in june. the damage was in the court's criminal division offices and destroyed thousands of court records and files in the clerk's office. about 20 minutes from now we are going to get the july jobs report from the labor department. analysts think that there were 90,000 new jobs in the private sector but with the census bureau jobs finally ending, overall employment will drop by 65,000. experts predict the unemployment rate will rise to 9.6%. it was 9.5% in june. for the first time social security is in the red. this year and next year, it's projected to pay out more in benefits than it collects in taxes. that's largely because so many people are unemployed and not contributing payments. the entire social security fund

is expected to be exhausted by the year 2037. what are john and i going to do? the summer weather in the bay area, it is a lot cooler than usual. some summer camps are even keeping youngsters out of the pools. that leads to us our question of the day: do you wish the weather would warm up? no, it's great. are you kidding? you want to be on the east coast where it's triple digits? send your answers to mornings@cbs5.com. we are also on facebook and twitter. i have to say though in the city it was freezing last night. how the look of the show "entertainment tonight" is changing, up next. >> sydnie, i think you touched on a really good question. a lot of people have been talking about the weather. i just need to move to the east bay where it's slightly warmer. we'll take a look at what's going on with your forecast. could there be warmer weather for the weekend? i got your weekend forecast coming up. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

growing operation. the two sides in the prop 8 court case will submit briefs to judge vaughn walker today. the issue is whether to continue a stay on same-sex marriage weddings while his ruling against prop 8 is being appealed. that could take a year or more. and today marks the 65th anniversary of the world's first atomic bombing. thousands of people gathering in hiroshima, japan, to remember the day. during the final stages of world war ii, the hiroshima bomb killed more than 140,000 people when it was dropped in 1945. thousands more died later of illness and injuries. long-time "entertainment tonight" host mary hart is leaving the program after her upcoming season. after 30 years, yes, 30 years on the same show, hart is ready for a change. et had no comment on reports that lara spencer would be hart's successor.

lara spencer host's the sister program, "the insider." hart joined "entertainment tonight" back in 1982 when the program wasn't even a year old. remember when she was paired with john tesh? that was for 10 years. but mary hart leaving "entertainment tonight." and they said her legs were so fabulous, that they actually built a see-through desk so you could always see her legs. guess that was one of the big draws of the show. 5:20. credit or debit? choosing the latter could sometimes cost you. why that may not be the case though for long. to make it illegal for stores to ,,,,,,

the senate last week. it will be presented to the assembly monday. tomorrow is the third annual beaver festival. it's an event to celebrate the family of beavers that lives in alhambra creek downtown. it runs from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in beaver park. it became controversy when people living near the cream were afraid that the beaver dams would create flooding but the city decided to let them live there. they are a big tourist attraction. and a device was built to prevent beavers from adding heat to their dam. is that that beaver deceiver? crayola crayons will soon be a lot greener. the company has unveiled a 15- acre solar panel farm in a field behind its pennsylvania headquarters. they have installed 26,000 solar panels which will produce 1.9-megawatt of electricity a year. that's enough to create a billion crayons in all the

anne makovec is in oakland. this isn't the first time police have been in this building. >> reporter: no, this is the second time they have made a pot bust here in the building behind me. you can see it's a restaurant on the bottom here. on the second floor according to police there was a pot farm. they came to the building on a call to a burglary and saw two men running out of the back of the building. one of them jumped across the fence. the second one was trying to hide on the roof of the building, according to police. so they got their k-9 up there and he ended up biting the suspect according to police. that's why an ambulance had to come to the scene but apparently that suspect does appear to be okay. and he is under arrest. when they went in the building on the second floor, they say they found a pot farm. over 120 plants and dried marijuana as well. they say it was a very sophisticated operation with all of the goods including a ventilation system in and out

of the building. and again, police say that they have been to this building once before. the two suspects in custody, they say that they were able to clear the building of all the marijuana but they had to leave some of the equipment because according to police they didn't have enough manpower to remove everything immediately. so we have the oakland layoffs that we have been talking about. they are still able to make busts, but not necessarily clean up the scenes as promptly as they would like. >> thank you, macrinus in oakland. today the two sides in the proposition 8 case are ordered to submit briefs concerning a stay on same-sex marriages. federal judge vaughn walker issuing a temporary stay on weddings wednesday when he ruled that prop 8 was unconstitutional. now, the issue now is whether to continue this stay while his ruling is being appealed. the temporary stay means no gay or lesbian marriages in california at least until judge walker rules on the briefs that will be filed today. the california supreme

court has cleared the way for an aids discrimination lawsuit against google to move forward. that case involves this man, brian reed. he is an engineer in his 50s. he says the mountain view-based internet giant fired him because wasn't a good cultural fit with the younger colleagues. in allowing the age discrimination case to move forward, the justices said reed presented enough evidence to make a discrimination claim. that evidence includes comments from his coworkers mocking his age. google said it fired reed because of poor performance. above ground, on the ground, underground, that's where the tracks will be when a high-speed rail system is built on the peninsula. there was a full house when the california high-speed rail authority showed its latest plans for the tracks between san francisco and san jose. the san mateo county times reports some cities will have trains running on tracks 18 feet or more above ground. some will run next to existing caltrain tracks and some will be in trenches. now, construction is scheduled

stops and ride the trains to act as deterrents to crime. they are city employees assigned to the visitacion valley and bayview districts along the t line and 9-san bruno route. >> just like in the old days people would walk around their neighborhood and keep an eye open, it's the same thing. good idea. >> reporter: police say 100 crimes a month including robberies an stabbings happen on or near muni stops. the hope is the presence of these unarmed ambassadors will deter criminals and if they see something bad happening they are to call for help but not get in the middle of it. >> i feel a lot more safe and comfortable and it does take ease off of, you know, where i'm going especially with the environment that we are around but say if i get in a fight right now or somebody tries to rob my purse and they are stand there is i'm going to want them to do something about it. >> they ain't gonna scare them away. people still gonna do what they want to do. it really don't matter. >> reporter: joe vazquez, cbs 5. in the east bay, dozens of

131,000 jobs and that's because all those temporary census jobs ended. it's hard to believe it's actually august. people all over the bay area, they are bundling up these days. we want to know, what happened to summer?? mike sugerman on how people are coping with one of the coolest summers the bay area has seen in quite some time. reporter: >> it's unfortunately a thick fog is now making its way into the bay area, very dense. >> 59 in san francisco, another cool day around the bay. >> but wait, here it comes, the return of the marine layer marching a good 70 miles inland. >> reporter: everybody talks about the weather. >> it's all right. >> it's not all right. it's awful. incredible. it's endless, it's demoralizing. >> reporter: these people are taking action. >> it's as warm as i have ever noticed it. >> reporter: for the first time in anybody's memory bay water has been consistently warmer than the air temperature. so in 43 years, have you seen this kind of difference between

the water and the air? >> no. i can't remember. there probably has been a year, but this is terrible. >> reporter: bob roper doesn't mind the 61-degree water temperature. it's the 55-degree air that bugs him. look at the paper. san francisco is the coldest big city in the northern hemisphere. no one is colder than we are in the northern hemisphere. in the southern hemisphere we're top 5. it's winter in the southern hemisphere. and this is summer camp? >> we huddle together like penguins. there is more singing and counselors are giving kids their sweatshirts. >> reporter: the campers in the east bay aren't sweating the small stuff. they aren't sweating at all. san jose, 14 degrees below normal. santa rosa down 10 to 14. people are green thumbs inland and on the coast have to cover them with gloves. summer crops hard to find. >> people ask me like 30 times at market if i have tomatoes

yet. i don't have them yet. >> reporter: stella of dirty girls produce does have stuff, though, she wouldn't normally have this time of year. >> we are growing a lot of winter stuff. usually this time of year in july we didn't have this kind of stuff like broccoli, cabbage, lettuce. this is the team of year we start having beans. we don't have beans. >> reporter: in san francisco, mike sugerman, cbs 5. and compare that to the rest of the country as mike did where the humidity made it feel more like 100 degrees in many places. there were heat advisories in 18 states yesterday. the extreme temperatures being blamed for the deaths of more than two dozen people -- excuse me, a dozen people and two police dogs. not even nightfall brought relief for those folks. temperatures in some states in the 80s overnight. it i 5:50. will he retire? we are talking about brett favre. coming up, what this octopus has to say about it.

federal judge from clearing the ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

5:53. a look at the bay bridge. low clouds and fog. >> it's been chilly around the bay area. we just had that story about that. but that's okay. not bad at all. that's our question of the day. we'll talk about that. welcome back, everyone. wild horses couldn't stop a federal judge from clearing the land in northeast california. that judge ruled this week that more than 2,000 horses would be rounded up by the u.s. bureau

of land management. the company says roundups are needed because of overpopulation and dry land. but an animal rights group has taken out a temporary restraining order to postpone that roundup, which is set for next week. they plan to appeal the ruling. a minnesota octopus predicting brett favre's future with the vikings proved to be little help. take a look. this is lokie, a giant octopus at the under water adventure aquarium. this week the staff decided to do like they did over in germany with paul, the octopus, and get her opinion on whether favre will play another season of football. they quickly realize the too tough a call for her. for her first move she picked retirement for the flip- flopping quarterback but then minutes later she laid a muscle next to a photo of favre playing football. >> sounds a lot like favre, back and forth. the weather in the bay area a lot cooler than usual, some summer camps even keeping the

kids out of the pools. do you wish the weather would warm up? on facebook, paul says yes. i cannot believe i'm wearing my winter clothes in august. >> i think i know paul. [ laughter ] >> karen e-mails us, she says, while it's not as warm for the first time in a couple of years, it's not as windy so my allergies and asthma are finally catching a bay area. >> eva says the cooler weather is fab. it is hot here in the diablo valley. you want warmth? head on out to walnut creek. that's where you're going, right, elizabeth. >> i am, to do some shopping. >> nate says, thank goodness my pg&e bill is much smaller. you can open up the windows, enjoy the cool breeze as you sleep. >> i like it. >> i need the warmth in the summer though to prepare yourself for fall, right? >> i wonder what it means. you always wonder if they are having extra heat on the east coast and it's cool here are we going to have a tougher winter. >> let's hope we don't have a tougher winter but i actually think that the cool weather is

a good thing. >> really. >> even in san francisco? >> yeah. >> okay. >> well, every year can't be the same. >> maybe i'm just a complainer. but it seems -- >> i don't mind it. >> elizabeth is delicate. >> i'm always flower. i wear winter clothes for sure. i wore my white puffer jacket the other day. >> do we need a puffer jacket to get out into traffic? >> traffic has been moving along just fine. we haven't had any big issues. we had a couple -- we had a rough start. a couple of spinouts earlier this morning but for right now you can see it's all green in the east bay as you head towards the bay bridge toll plaza. no metering lights and still no yellow sensors all across the upper deck which means that it's flowing fine all the way into san francisco. this is a look at milpitas near the 880/237 interchange. nice and light moving well here if you are heading towards silicon valley. and one more camera, here's a look at the golden gate bridge. traffic is plenty of room in between cars as you cross the span. still a 22-minute drive time

between novato and san francisco. mass transit is all on time. >> you think a lot of people are on vacation? it seems like traffic is -- >> the bay bridge especially just not the kind of backups we're used to. i think it's a combination of congestion pricing, we noticed a difference since then and, you know, it's summer so a lot of people are on vacation. >> the airports were packed. i was stuck in one yesterday. >> everyone is hanging out with john. >> must be. >> where are we going on vacation? >> we are going to weather! [ laughter ] >> transitioning to weather. our forecast for today, near 60 along the coast so most of you guys coastal highs in the 50s today. lower 60s around the bay, mid- 80s inland. still pretty mild. we'll remain mild through most of next week, but 10 days out with the models you never no, we could see warmer conditions by the end of the week. this saturday san francisco aloha festival at the presidio parade grounds. 62 degrees? >> they may be a little

chilly. >> i wouldn't take off too much. but, you know, i like doing the little -- >> pretty good. >> good for your waistline. >> it is, i know. >> exercise classes hula now, don't they? stretch classes. >> a lot of kind of dancing. we got another hour of exercising here. 5:58. coming up in our next half hour, a workplace shooting. the calm call that the killer made right after the rampage. plus, san francisco police trying a new crime-fighting tool. community ambassadors near muni stops. how a suspect was injured overnight in a pot bust. coming up. ,,
