6:03 pm
to the cabin and woke everybody up. and by the time everybody came out, they were already in nine feet of water. there was no warning. if it wasn't for jim miller, the outcome would have been totally different. >> he saw how exhausted those survivors are. they were expected to be coming home two days ago but now they are going to stay and it's not clear how long. they are monitoring the search. they want their missing brethren to come back. >> joe, you mentioned that the captain wasn't arrested. but have we heard, is he cooperating with investigators? >> reporter: he is speaking with investigators and in fact, there was supposed to be a news conference this evening. we are not sure of the timetable on that but he was going to participate with that, as well. this was a sudden storm. roberta tells me whereas you can predict some storms, you can't predict the severity and this one hit like a whammy in the middle of the night. >> and massive waves. thank you, joe vazquez. desperate for word on their

6:05 pm
thorough search and rescue effort. >> we need our dads to come home and we need our uncles and our friends to come home. [ crying ] >> and that at this point, we need federal muscle and more to help us. >> we keep getting conflicting reports, conflicting information. but when we get news, great. when we get the bad news, we prepare. it's been a roller coaster. >> my dad, don, everybody we know there are tough guys. they prepared the best they can. >> reporter: one of the things gene leong did before leaving on their trip was buy a new life vest that can be worn while sleeping. so the families are very hopeful that the men are still alive. they have survival skills and two of them are veterans. local fishermen have told them people have been found a week later on remote islands. these men were not daredevils. in fact, the family says that had these men known there was a storm brewing they would have never gotten on this boat. if you would like more information or would like to help these families in their

6:08 pm
identity in a retaliation shooting between rival norteno an sereno gang members, a 17- year-old has been charged in the killing. today more than 70 state, federal and local law enforcement leaders met to outline a plan to specifically put pressure on that's two gangs. last week, authorities conducted a sweep of known gang members who are on parole or probation and now they will be reaching into local jails and state prisons to identify those who they believe are directing gang operations. >> most gangs could be driven by money. and so the way the pressure comes in even while they are in jail, there is still a financial gain to their way of life, to their lifestyle, when they come in and out of jail so. by disrupting their illegal operations, you're disrupting the cash flow. >> reporter: authorities say gangs are becoming more like the old school mafia in terms of the way they are organized and operate. >> it's no longer just small little thugs in neighborhoods that are causing problems. it is transnational gangs that are not only becoming organized within themselves but amongst themselves in other areas and
6:09 pm
being run through the prison systems. >> reporter: but here along wisteria lane where izack garcia was killed, a rest didn't doesn't believe the crackdown will make the streets any safer. is it going to make a difference? >> no. >> reporter: why not? >> because if somebody wants to do something they will do it regardless. >> reporter: there are state and local budgeted cuts. they say while there are some things they can't do with less money, gang enforcement is not one of them. mark sayre, cbs 5. pot advocates say the rules about medical marijuana just got a lot hazier. the obama administration put out a memo that suggests large- scale pot operations are not safe from federal prosecution. juliette goodrich shows us the letter has sparked fear of a stricter crackdown. juliette. >> reporter: dana, it is a crackdown for the growers and sellers of medicinal marijuana
6:10 pm
but some feel it is the patients who need the medicinal marijuana the most who will suffer. the heat is on for medical marijuana growers and suppliers even if they are complying with state law. >> anyone in the business of providing cannabis to these patients could still be a target even if the patients themselves are not. put you're still putting the target on the back of the patients if they don't have medicine access. >> reporter: strict guidelines now released by the obama administration reinforce federal prosecution of anyone growing and smiling marijuana to medical patients. marijuana advocacy groups say it contradicts the president's earlier pledge to let states set their own policies. >> across the country yes, it means that the war will go on, it's going to continue to be a battle to change the laws on this because the federal government and the obama administration doesn't seem to be living up to their campaign promise. >> reporter: the u.s. attorney
6:11 pm
general's office's marijuana policies spare seriously ill patients and caregivers from prosecution. but advocacy groups say it still denies patients the means to use marijuana legally. >> it's a war. and we haven't won yet. so, you know, they are going to keep pressing their point and trying to say that, well, you know, everything is illegal federally. >> reporter: advocacy groups say it now comes down to local and state officials and juries. >> hopefully here in the bay area, we're pretty safe because there is so much local support but in other places, it's bad news. >> until someone forces a national referendum or gets the u.n. to change their charter, they kind of have to take that stance. so they are going to keep coming after medical cultivators and shops. >> reporter: marijuana dispensaries operate under local regulation but they have faced periodic raids from federal authorities so dana, it's still a very vague line between what's a small
6:12 pm
operation and a large marijuana operation and who the feds decide to raid or not raid. >> all right. in oakland, juliette goodrich, thank you. overall, fewer people are going to jail for drug crimes. figures from the state department of corrections and rehabilitation show the full of inmates locked up primarily for truck violations dropped about 35% over the past decade. that's due in part to a law passed in 2000 that mandates treatment instead of prison time for certain drug crimes. the art of stealing. a man snatches a picasso an runs! how a bar could foil his perfect getaway. >> california's broke but hundreds of state workers are still getting huge paychecks. the loophole allowing some to make almost $800,000 a year. >> moms have been trying to sneak veggies into their dishes for a long time. >> a new way to get kids to eat their vegetables. the popular food hiding them in

6:16 pm
and walks out with a picasso. mike sugerman reports the man may have made a key mistake. >> reporter: unless you're carry grant, it's probably smart to keep a low profile if you are going to be an art thief. that didn't happen here at union square where one man has become an international sensation. reporter: stop me if you heard this one. guy walks into an art gallery, takes a picasso off the wall, walks to a waiting cab. >> people involved in this type business know what they're doing. >> reporter: the "tete de femme" is a small pencil drawing worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, reportedly double locked to the wall. it's all something out of a movie. fact is, the thief ended up in a movie. >> jackpot. there is the guy there. what are the chances of him walking by with a picasso in his hand? >> reporter: lefty o'doul's down the street from the gallery where the heist happened the, the owner checked the surveillance tape and it turns out the guy and the picasso are pretty as a picture. >> no socks, preppie looking

6:18 pm
well done. picasso would applaud him. >> reporter: she says she didn't recognize that guy. but if you do, the san francisco police would sure like to hear from you. allen? >> i don't suppose the odds are it could edge up at the picasso exhibit going on at the de young, he wouldn't sneak it in there, wo he? >> reporter: good idea. >> cheeky little devil. >> mike sugerman, thanks so much. roberta, your weather maps are priceless when we like the weather. >> well, do you like this one then? let's take a peek. we have the low clouds and fog just straddling the coast at this hour and that kept the temperatures down at the beaches. pacifica checking in at 58 degrees still cloudy there. otherwise in san francisco, we came down, as well. let's go ahead and take a look outside now and compare that picture. did you see that fog on the satellite is this what do you
6:19 pm
see there? this is the commute in and out of the golden gate bridge from the city of san francisco. that's the north bay. what you're looking at is condensation on the lens from the low clouds and fog. 67 degrees san francisco. the average is 68. but it was definitely cooler than what we experienced yesterday. 98 degrees still toasty in our interior section. 88 in santa rosa. upper 80s in san jose and 74 degrees in oakland. if you are out and about this evening a wide range of numbers. from the 50s to the 60s, 70s and still 92 degrees in concord and in livermore. tomorrow, count on patchy coastal clouds bayside, and around the beaches for the morning commute and then a tad cooler everywhere. clouds pushed back to the bay by the evening commute. now, we do have subtropical moisture right there moving out of southern california into yosemite and tahoe where we have seen several lightning strikes today put we are dealing with other cloud types. these right here in the form of the patchy fog that will push
6:20 pm
into the bay overnight not quite make it in towards the concord or the tri-valley area but nevertheless, it will add to the cooling trend that we will be experiencing but it is a gradual cooling trend each and every day. now, meanwhile, tonight overnight into the 40s and 50s. tomorrow's daytime highs coming down right into the low 90s inland. additional cooling will take place with the seven-day forecast. that's still straight ahead. dana and allen? >> thank you. state lawmakers get frank why hot dogs were on the agenda at the capital today. >> and sneaking veggies into popular kids foods. parents are buying it but is it really healthy? that's in two minutes. ,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,
6:22 pm
6:23 pm
to discuss things like hot dogs apparently. california could soon be the first state in the nation with a legal definition. a bill just introduced today in the assembly seeks to define a hot dog as a whole cured cooked sausage that is skinless or stuffed in a casing and may be served on a bun or a roll. the bill's sponsor says the definition is needed to give health inspectors more oversight over vendors. we know kids like hot dogs but are you trying to get yours to eat more veggies? some food manufacturers think they have a solution. hide them in plain sight. dr. kim mulvihill joins us. >> i know you're fascinated by this. >> yeah. we'll see if it works. >> in theory. >> reporter: think of it as stealth vegetables. it's the latest food marketing tactic and the idea, sneak vegetables into your kids' favorite foods and they will never know the difference. problem is, that's a problem. >> reporter: can't get your kids to eat their vegetables?
6:24 pm
here's an idea. go stealth. >> you know, moms have been trying to sneak veggies into their dishes for a long time. >> reporter: but it's no longer just moms. check this out. a brand-new product boxes of kraft macaroni and cheese veggie pasta. on the outside a warning, there are veggies in here. on the inside a covert vegetable cauliflower. but it doesn't look or taste anything like. the cauliflower in this box has been freeze dried and pulverized into powder and used to make the fast is. >> well, it does have one half serving of vegetables. >> reporter: joanne hattner is a registered dietician and says lots of parents want to put healthier foods know their kids. with that said -- >> most food manufacturers are trying to make healthier products. >> reporter: but for kids to develop healthier eating habits you doesn't want to disguise vegetables as something else, according to studies. >> it's important for the child to see the vegetable to recognize it and to taste it for it to become familiar and then they will accept it and it will be a life-long habit.
6:25 pm
>> reporter: think of this as a bonus half serving of vegetables, not a replacement for having vegetables on the plate. vegetables that you can see off a whole host of vitamins and nutrients and fiber all good things for growing kids of any age. >> if you take the cookies and cakes out of the house, they will eat something. >> reporter: they will be hungry and eat their vegetables. they have to try it 15 times before they are going to actually like that cauliflower. >> if they will ever admit to it. >> think of an elbow macaroni as a vegetable. [ laughter ] >> thanks. huge paychecks for state workers. hundreds of employees making six figure salaries. the loophole that lets some more than quadruple their pay. >> i think it's a very dangerous precedent. >> we just want to include this community as well as all the others. >> rewriting the lesson plan in california schools. the major change to history

6:30 pm
desk work to solve those crimes. and a press conference this morning, chief batts said the changes would make the department more efficient. and he said residents are going to see a marked difference particularly on the streets of east and west oakland. >> they should see we are doing a better job on violence and violence prevention. by making this major crimes unit we should be on top and gathering intelligence and having a higher clearance rate in our cases. >> reporter: oakland currently has 636 officers. that's about 200 fewer than back in 2008. batts expects to add about 22 officers who he will rehire. they were laid off earlier this year. some of these changes are going to happen pretty quickly. the increases to patrols will happen saturday and then by mid- august we'll start to hear about some of those changes within the department with homicide and assault units. >> okay. christin ayers in oakland, thank you. california could be the first state to require public

schools to include the contributions of gays and lesbians in the school curriculum. voting along party lines, the bill passed. phil matier reports. >> reporter: it's on the governor's desk. this would be the first in the nation but the debate is still going on. >> i think it's a very dangerous precedent. we're not --we're actually going to tell children what to think. >> if someone was accomplished in their goals in life and changing america, then honor them for that but not because of the way they have sex. >> reporter: that was the reaction of two republican lawmakers to a bill now on the way to the governor's desk mandating that california public schools start teaching the contributions that gays and lesbians and transgenders have made to the state's history. just as we teach about the impact of say martin luther king, jr. or cesar chavez, but gays history says the bill's author san francisco state
6:32 pm
senator mark leno is being censored because --well, they're gay. >> we just want to include this community as well as all the others. we are probably the last one to be included. >> reporter: what rankles the republicans is that the bill states that the history lessons concerning days must all be positive. >> one thing to record history. it's another thing to say we're only going to present the positive aspect and we're not going to record the reality. >> reporter: so this would bar anything negative being taught about gays or transgenders or anybody else. >> just as we currently prohibit any kind of bias or discriminatory information regarding african-americans in the classroom or mexican- americans in the classroom. >> we have seen in california a history of pushing the home -- of pushing the homosexual agenda in legislation and we have seen it in being pushed in the education system at every, single level. >> if the gay agenda is for full inclusion in society and for first class citizenship, put me at the head of the list.
6:33 pm
>> that was phil matier reporting from sacramento. now, despite the state's dire budget situation, hundreds of state workers are getting six figure salaries far beyond their base pay. 1400 state employees made more than $200,000 last year according to the state comptroller. more than half of them are prison medical professionals. for years the overcrowded and understaffed prisons would not allow them to take days off. so their total compensation is inflated by unused vacation and sick leave. at the top of the list, a prison physician who made more than $784,000 has year. with finances in sacramento a mess the state's department of fish & game huh had to take some extraordinary -- has had to take some extraordinary measures tapping ordinary people to work alongside fame wardens and scientists. don ford shows us the first

6:35 pm
the lowest number of game wardens per capita in the united states, we can't fulfill our mission without help.
