[ applause ]

>> reporter: and to emphasize that no sooner had he ended his speech than he went to southern california to sell his plan to the parents and taxpayers down there. >> for kids who don't test well it's great. but does he have a plan for evaluating progress? >> reporter: he says fewer tests and instead what he is thinking of doing is actually sending people, inspectors, into the classrooms, sit down, observe and evaluate what you're seeing and how the teachers are doing and let's write those up and use that as a judge as well as the testing for the kids. so more schooling and more observation. so there we have it. we'll see where it goes next. >> all right. thank you. thousands of oakland city employees today learned that this could be their last month on the job. nearly 2500 pink slips were sent out. that's almost half the city's entire full-time and part-time workforce all part of the city's effort to save $30 million annually.

attacked by so- called money interests here because of his progressive views about reforming prisons and also because he is the son of immigrants. she says she has nothing but respect for her husband and in a cultural reference to american bias, she told her hometown listeners she is not being taken advantage of. quote, it's not like i'm the little indian girl being victimized by the gringo." sheriff ross mirkarimi is scheduled for his first court appearance on thursday at 2:30 and his attorney will likely file a request for a gag order. there is also still a stay-away order and the attorney says he is going to ask that the judge lift that because right now, mirkarimi is not allowed anywhere near his wife. dana, i reached out to eliana lopez, no response yet but we would really like to hear what she has to say. clearly, she spent some time talking on the phone down there in venezuela and had a lot to say about this. >> and what about the neighbor, the woman who took this video?

any word from her? >> reporter: no. and she said a lot to investigators, but she has kept an iron lid on it here. we have tried to talk to her today and a man with a child answered her door today and said no, we don't want anything to do with reporters. >> thank you, joe vazquez. an innocent bystander is dead after a police chase stemming from an attempted burglary. this began after 10:00 in newark with reports of an attempted home break-in and ended with the deadly crash a mile away. ann notarangelo says how police tried to prevent this type of tragedy. >> reporter: the crash happened at 10 a.m. and only in the last half hour did they start to remove the vehicles involved. they are gradually reopen mowry avenue. this all started with reports of a home burglary on mistflower avenue. a neighbor called police reporting he had seen three people break down a door and enter a home.

suspect collier was found hiding in a nearby junkyard. the three 20-year-olds have an extensive record. watkins hasn't been arrested because he is still in surgery for his injuries suffered in the car crash. it's your own clear what charges the three suspects will face. clearly they will be charged with the home burglary for evading arrest and there will be some charges although they are not clear yet related to this fatal collision. in newark, ann notarangelo, cbs 5. two women attacked with a hammer and knife during a home invasion in san francisco's sunset neighborhood almost a week ago are improving. police say the 76-year-old and 56-year-old women have been upgraded from critical to stable condition. the attacker, however, still on the loose. he is described as a cantonese- speaking asian man who drove off in a beige sedan with triangular taillights. the lampless internet blackout in the history of the -- the largest internet blackout in the history of the

instead of today. >> reporter: wikipedia and thousands of other websites went to black in protest over two internet piracy bills in congress known as sopa in the house and pipa in the senate. google also joined the protest but only blacked out the google logo on its site. the bills are supposed to help content producers from having their work stolen and distributed online. but critics say the laws are too broad and would do more harm than good. >> it's like trying to drop a nuclear bomb on somebody because they are shoplifting. it was way overkill. >> reporter: he says the internet companies are afraid the bills would jeopardize free speech and the open internet as we know it and the protests from silicon valley seems to be working. several previous bill backers are pulling away. >> the pressure was already on the act before this happened. but this made it even more visible so even the few supporters left are probably running screaming away from it at this time so they don't get hit by the fallout. >> reporter: the bills are also losing some of their key

sponsors including marco rubio the republican in florida in the senate. he was a sponsor of the bill. he is now backing away from it. it is unlikely that this bill will be revived this year. it may come back sometime next year with some big changes because right now, with the election year, maybe a lot of people don't want to be associated with it. next year might be a different story if there are some changes. >> a hot potato right now. >> reporter: and a torpedo if you are looking to get re- elected. >> all right. len ramirez, thank you. a tiny bay area dog snatched from his yard is back with his owner tonight. 8 months after he went missing, toto the 12-year-old yorkky. his owner says someone returned the dog but he had been abused. his left eye and some teeth are missing. the san francisco spca is trying to raise $5,000 to help care for toto. his owner says hayward police

of a deity but for the folks in the neighborhood they are beginning to wonder if it's a little less deity and a little more darth vader because directly behind these homes lucas wants to build a huge neukom plex. basically -- new complex, basically a movie studio. two large indoor sound stages each the size of a department store and one large outdoor stage. there will be offices, residence units and private restaurant and a wine tasting room and large wine storage cave built into the hillside. neighbors fear what this could do to their rural lifestyle. >> it may turn into a winery. we may have sort of an amusement park. it could morph into many different things. >> jobs justifies almost anything these days. >> reporter: the county's planning department says this is an important project for the area but those fears are unfounded. they say the project is consistent with the master plan for the area and any problems it causes for the neighborhood would have to be addressed by

the developer. they say none of the facilities would be open to the public and a maximum occupancy of 350 people would be in effect. but those who oppose the project see this as a david versus goliath fight. >> are you worried your voice isn't going to be heard because the opposing voice is george lucas? >> yes. yes. yes absolutely. >> we are regular everyday people and he is a celebrity -- a beloved celebrity. >> i don't have any objection to a person being rich and famous and doing well and george lucas has done a lot of good things for the county. i think that this is a particularly bad choice. >> reporter: there is a neighborhood meeting tonight to discuss the issue and the proposal could be sent to the planning commission for a vote next month. in marin county, john ramos, cbs 5. lucas films said, it's surprised at the opposition since the plan has been publicly vetted and discussed

still trying to figure out what it means. the pitch is the distance between a point on your seat and the same point on the seat in front of you and the recline is how far you can lean back. on southwest not much. virgin america seats have a 32" pitch and a 2 to 5" recline. and jetblue has a 34" pitch with a 4" recline. compare this to southwest's new seat which now has a pitch of just 31" and recline of just 2. some say southwest is sacrificing comfort for economy and some aren't concerned. >> short flights doesn't make a difference. >> reporter: southwest says it's not sacrificing comfort as the new design offers more personal space so passengers won't feel the need to recline. the airline says seats will provide more shin and leg clearance, lumbar support and

more room for carry-ons. it boasts recyclable carpet, tray tables and arm rests and by shaving off 600 pounds the plane is more ecofriendly. now, the new design will roll out in march for the boeing 737 through 700 jets. but those larger long haul planes will keep the current seat pitch which of course is 32." for more information on the pitch, the leg room and the seat specs for your next flight find a link to seat guru at cbssf.com. >> what did you say? it won't recline as much but it will feel -- >> reporter: southwest says it will feel roomier so you won't want to recline. >> oh, right... >> i'll be the judge of that. >> when i'm eating all that great food.

walker is sidelined ever since. he has yet to be cleared by doctors on sunday. if cleared he will play some football. the 49ers new star could say the same thing about his football career, life is like a box of chocolates. here's kim coyle with more. >> i want winners! >> reporter: three seasons later vernon davis is exactly what mike singletary wanted. touchdown 49ers. >> reporter: no one ever questioned the talent of vernon davis since he was drafted by the 49ers in 2006. it was his attitude that was always it biggest concern. >> reporter: vernon was the diva tight end more concerned about his own numbers and

having the spotlight on himself. >> i guess i just strolled through the locker room and walked through with my chin up and, you know, like yeah, look at me, look at me. ha ha. >> reporter: but everything changed in october of 2008 when singletary famously sent vernon to the locker room in the middle of the game because he was tired of his selfish antics. >> when i said get off the field i meant take your helmet with you. >> cannot win with him, cannot coach with him, can't do it. >> i was looking to him like he is crazy. how can you send your first- round draft pick to the locker room? but i understood the reason why. i was hurting the team. penalties and missed assignments, things like that. >> reporter: vernon's 49er and maybe nfl career was at a crossroads. but instead of sulking, he responded to the tough love and bounced back with a pro bowl season in 2009. >> i do remember him saying

a very emotional game, like a roller coaster. >> who got it better than us? >> nobody!! >> and preparations already under way at the stick. crews are repainting the lines. you heard roberta's weathercast. they are going to have to do it over and over unless they cover the field. so... did you have a bad day today? well, you' not the only one. so did marcos baghdatis at australian open. (ad lib) [ smashes four raquets ] >> four raquets in all. i'm going to tell viewers at home that dana king once did that with four of these in a commercial break when her tape didn't come on. >> that's too much bad luck. you know i didn't do that.

that's 28 years bad luck! [ laughter ]
