on health care providers piling nurses to dispense birth control devices. it is really tough in clear lake and the northern rural communities was a lot fewer health care providers and the suite will be able to have that staffed and have access to birth control more quickly and 90% of such an act as soon use birth control in their lifetime. this is a basic essential health care. the spent 30 years to life not to be pregnant. so i think this is pretty critical health care it is not going to affect until january 1, 2014. that is more than a year away. a part the smart phone wars continue in court. apple is looking for more cash from samsung. it may start

mostly in the '50s. and a quick tower is in the background. the sciu services co as a woman who like chasing fires. people think of a quick start was designed to look like a fire hose and it wasn't. it in we have the mind is 57 degrees in concord. we 50 in santa rosa. it does not a bad and we have high clouds floating in an cooler at the beach. the talk about that the low pressure is speeding up of the southwestern alaska as pushing in the pacific northwest. that means to get some high clouds today we see them over the bay area. the high will come down in the temperatures will follow suit. is not to be as warm as it was just a. we have out this morning and it be nice. we have

a few high clouds for everyone. as low clouds and fog along the shore line. and on the future cast you can see the the high clouds head south of the bay area and in mostly sunny skies and overnight by a time they get here to mormon there be low clouds and the face. and tonight we get clouds moving in. and if you'd be out about is can be in the mid-70s and not at all. that is typical for september and october in the bay area. surpassed weather months of the years. we have 88 in sacramento. and go back in a bay area or martin held its of to 84 degrees and over the shore line at half moon bay will be at 65. union city is up to 67 today. will be in the upper 80s in the far east. with 87 in fairfield

wind in his opinion and changes necessary. right now need to license for petty theft or a simple truck possession and all of this study shows and experience says the in san francisco and los angeles that light sentences for non-violent crimes does nothing to improve safety but over crowds are prison. they release the people from prison and is on a 50% capacity and your 20s and these people who are more serious than they're doing today and people been sentenced to life for minor crimes like shoplifting the data to be felonies but under the california law almost anything north of jaywalking can count on the way the penal code works here we offer report about when they choose to do a felony is the first record not. and how many prisons are we exit talking

about art and the prosecutors have discretion proposition 36 brings the original intent of the three strikes law to keep life sentences for violent felon. and for those who 10 non serious and nonviolent crimes like drug possession they are few thousand people there. among those people get released court any relief under the proposition 36. a judge finds them. or no longer a threat to public safety. they have to help people who serve the most my time and as a threat to public safety most district attorneys want to leave the three strikes lot of weight is. and they say the this is not to commit any more crime and she says that they will and had to prosecute them again so the be taking up just as many resources as before except the will have new victims in their path. what to say to

that? unlike previous efforts and proposition 36 is too important to public safety measures. and nobody can get out of prison with proposition 36 unless a judge finds that they're no longer at risk to public safety. proposition 36 opposes long sentences on repeat offenders. sleekit 6-8 or 10 years for petty theft or drug possession. that's more than people give for rape in california. the voters will decide whether to go for naught. we'll have some the inside an expert to show up and the question to you is if prosecutors have the discretion about whether to charge fees and people we elect to make those decisions question we asked voters to change that and ended at one way or the other. what you want to take this out of the hands of prosecutors we want to have consistent

application of law throughout the state. if you get picked up for possession of a simple about drugs are petty drug consensus. you get in the stimulus or a short prison sentence. but to go across the county into riverside county until life sentence for the same exact crime. proposition 36 tret get rid of some of the discretion. in east of a misdemeanor for 10 years. the proposition 36 is by the district resistivities go, santa clara county and los angeles county near implementing this policy for over a dozen years the crime is down in most counties. so it's been tested and it works. it is reasonable and the smallest on affect the people who been committed nonviolent crimes. we'll have the no on proposition 36 campaign talk about this and next half-hour. the surface could giants are

flying high loss night. a pink flag for the oakland athletics. we have sports coming up next in our half hounext.

early edition it is september 23rd good morning. a lot coming up the next half- hour talking about the giants' victory of the front page of the chronicle talking about our new national league west champion jim champions coming up and also developing news poling and the east bay there's no part service between the bay fair in union city stations in the east bay right now because of track work that began overnight and became a little bit of an issue with trains that are stuck and cannot get out of the station that does it look like anybody is on them but it certainly is a service disruption. the providing a desperate right now honoring bart tickets between union city and san leandro. the lines are also running

as well so they are not affected with a short time ago a spokesman said the disruption could last hours with no exact time when the service may be restored. with the latest on our website at cbs san francisco dot com and a sister radio station. the latest traffic reports. on the campaign front mitt romney california fund-raiser continued the slide. taking a jab at the golden state will he was in the golden state campaigning in san diego. we're it's a pathway to become like europe and europe as a work there and it's never going to work here to the possible we could get a pathway to become california that i know what that happened either rights. we need to bring down our deficit so we don't need to do by sticking it to the middle- class and i want to keep your taxes low but i can afford to

pay a little more and mitt romney can afford to pay a little bit more. we don't build the economy from the top down and rebuild it from the bottom up. president obama spent the day was constantly in the polls in that key swing state in wisconsin is getting after winning his cheerful year spree mitt romney now nominated wisconsin's paul ryan to be his v.p. that as it is good to be in milwaukee. wisconsin's 10 electoral votes are like to both campaigns. were counting on wisconsin let's get it done. is a mistake eight times

since taking office the race is basically even after ryan joined the republican ticket in august the latest poll shows the president pulling ahead. they found a similar alarming trend for mitt romney. the status moved away from him since mid august and insisted that movement and bringing back. mitt romney has to contend with a potentially reenergize pro obama labor movement here. union it anchor exploded when the governor walker signed a bill until this july should dripping collective bargaining rights and that anger is being used as a motivational tool again in the aftermath of the judge's ruling this month that the law is unconstitutional. matthews is the teachers union executive from madison. when the judge says it's not fair that will mobilize all whole lot of people. i'm saying people in the middle

of mobilize. it will swing their vote. this is the public is sick of the issue and cited five times with walker at the polls and that says helps mitt romney. unions and special interest allies to become boisterous but the people sitting at home watching to be working every day taking care of the families will turn on election day and that's ultimately mitt romney will be successful. a: what are the republicans are saying that revenues to visit again and again as long as to keep turning wisconsin they would be wise to spend time here presence because popularity in my opinion. mitt romney has six weeks to determine whether wisconsin will be the final piece of the puzzle he fits in the place. part of a problem he could not overcome. locally the giants are

headed for the playoff at the second time in three years. as the national league western division last night at at&t park within eight to 4 victory over the san diego padres. last night's win featured fine defensive and clean and neat play here and foul territory. the pitcher got the wind. it's a credit to everybody being unselfish ever looked to be the difference every day and it's fun and exciting to see these guys attempt to be the difference every day. greta this year the team overcame significant challenges to win the division the giants lost their clothes are wilson for your with an injury and debris at serving a 50 game suspension for drug violations. and that a man hounded for good the the space shuttle will go into retirement the moved into its airline

hanger at los angeles airport and stay there till october 12th and put on a flatbed and transported to the california science center. it's going to be a today to mull from our is journey through 12 mi. which is interesting becausethe shuttle woman and 17,000 mi. an hour. crews cut down hundreds of trees to make room for the shuttle parade planting new trees later and the shuttle soared over the bay area at top of the 747 on friday as part of its final fly over. with more of those images on cbs san francisco dot com. still to come echoes of other big presidential election seen in this year's match up between obama and mitt romney. a new push for reform of california's three strikes law the group that's pushing back in

the name of public safety. or not part of the cracked concrete but it's actually a gold mine. money through concrete rent out your driveway. with the numbers in the bay area today will be cooling a little bit the mysteries thais scoff government and the north bay and it's a sign of things to come.

welcome back. temperatures about the same this morning as they were yesterday morning and also fog at the golden gate bridge.

we'll know rent and realistic values are high in san francisco but if you have the driveway and the right location you could sit on a gold mine. the new services to read of your unused parking space and a reporter shows us how you could make hundreds of dollars in a single weekend. when a parking during major's sentences grievance the outside lanes could be a paying the local service to and headaches and to cash their renting out your driveway. were not proud of the cracked concrete but it's actually a gold mine. with other so close to the

golden gate park the the band played but their driveway sits empty on nights and weekends to the listed the prime spots on park police would set an online marketplace for parking spaces were sellers set their own prices in one weekend they made $300. to make money on something that was it used before is basically somebody handed us a check for doing nothing. charlie launched the site last month and says during a make a concert series the place 1000 cars on to private driveways the charge in average of $2 a day to small start of the quality-control offers guarantees and tax on 20% surcharge. it helps my team keep the water boiling building for us 30% of the traffic are actually people looking for parking to the city said the faster they can find a spot it's

a good thing. they say they will soon promote park police to help deal with the crush of cars during a mayoress america's cup and fleet week expanding into the marina district say now compassion on the crowds. the students together will draw on 60,000 people a day with virtually no parking lots around their parking is the tories sleet the big nightmare. making money by reducing headaches if you're going out today what we be looking at? there's parking places in connection see them. reflecting the fact that we have

cloud cover coming in are the numbers. in the south bay and a good look at the sun for much longer because the cloud cover is moving. things are warming up in concord 62 degrees and will be the mid 80s today. here's what looks like in the weather today in the bay area. mostly cloudy conditions to start out with the uncharacteristically high cloud cover as opposed to the low cloud cover. the low visibility and the golden gate to start out with.

mostly clear toward sunset and affecting temperatures with a high pressure coming down the temperature coming down. this morning meetings in the upper fifties to low 60s and some cloud cover up they're. it will sink south by 5:00 tonight with a beautiful sunset tonight with the sun coming against the backdrop of the cloud cover a look cloud cover in the shoreline to an end today and tonight low, cover along the shoreline and to have plans to have dinner outside livermore to be nice with 75 degrees. on monday and numbers in the '70s and sunshine and york and chicago as well. things will cool off around midweek with temperatures beginning to drop a bit. in the east bay the numbers are going to be in the '80s for the most part not quite as warm as yesterday.

'60s on the shoreline made 80s inland midweek and next weekend back up into the '90s. the fault temperatures the fall temperatures. one of the many wacky things in the bay area's summer is winter and fall and summer. the question we've been talking about all morning is is it dangerous or is it a reform that we need to take. calling for major changes to the california three strikes law sitting down with us talking about why he says no of proposition 36 the arakis argument is it

the three strike is in serious if it's a drug infraction not non-violent then why impose it this change the law 13 strikes was passed back in 1994 people knew exactly what they were getting there was no ambiguity about the fact of the third strike could be almost any kind of a felony or infraction and its reduced crime in california significantly. will increase the prison population by 10,000 since 1994. in years prior to 1994 will be doing that almost annually and therefore fewer murders with but far fewer prisons and we did in the 15 years prior to 15 years prior to build five new prisons and 15 years since we build one new prison. it's shown to be very effective and the three strikes population is small with only 8,503rd strikers in the system.

you originally against the law when it came out in the early '90s. i was concerned it would spread to widen the umbrella that could really bring absolutely anybody in the style of basketball out of an occupied dwelling. the reality is now that prosecutors had the discretion and now that all of the barriers are up to ensure that the prosecution to good i think it's been a very good and very effective law. budget summit and the life in prison for drug crime but that's not what they're doing. the prior drug proposition has mechanisms and it to disallow a third strike prosecution for drug crimes based on certain criteria. if the individual has committed a crime for many years served the strikes were not together or not in one incident and that

could be diverted into a drug situation. but this is about the totality of the criminal history that if somebody is committed the crimes man prosecuted successfully and and they do commit an infraction of some kind of the not willing to live within the laws that they're not willing to live with the general population and that at some point they are going to commit the worst crime. one of the arguments the the other side makes is that blacks uniformity statewide. the definition of serious changes were you are in texas we might not the third strike but in another county you could. and they want to make it level across. at the definition changes that took the discretion is all about. but talking about the participatory democracy if a prosecutor in san francisco

deals of something doesn't need to be charged as a third strike he will try to the he answers to to his constituents every four years in the election that they like the way he administers three strikes at other aspects of the law they will not reelect him and i think things are different circumstances are different and it tight knit urban community will have a massive police presence as opposed to something like current county which a small with much less police presence and a much larger area and may be needed different kind of criminal justice dynamic. i think that the fact that you have participatory democracy that it's not one size fits all is beautiful. this is with the people want. coming up talking about the still too close to call race for the white house y mitt romney may be following the footsteps of other democrat.

go broke the new device to the republican presidential ticket from the former governor of alaska sarah palin finally weighed in on the race for the white house the statement the weekly standard says " america desperately needs to find have a come to jesus moment senate term relying on mitt romney to get it right. the final stress mitt romney in president obama are unable to close the deal with the american people that just can't sell the next four years to return to the former mayor willie brown and the political reporter and asked him what they're trying to sell sunshine so how important is that? it's really a very important you do not want to sell gloom and doom we want

people to believe that you represent the way forward. and that's the way you push sunshine you watch a strategy ilion to define but had to switch out of it the problem is i think his problem is that he's had a sunshine filled life and some of aquino's have spread the sunshine because he figures every once like this and pulled with sunshine so it doesn't come to him naturally. this is terrible we live in terrible times but that is kind of hard to pull the switch like that. use its terrible times because the sky your opponent exists and you will bring light to everybody that you represent good morning it's america or whenever reagan said. affect compared to meet carter to ronald reagan's race to this one while reagan did not to say things are bad he didn't

go about same things were bad people just felt bad and he said i have the alternative and i will print a fact that doesn't seem to be the case with mitt romney we don't know what his alternative is are yet to check its policy papers they're just brought out lance we should know where he's at. ronald reagan had a tremendous advantage to meet carter was kind of like mitt romney he could not convey anything with reference to what he will do and what he has done and he couldn't defend he is just and complete the handicapped and all reagan had to say was there he goes again. coming up the top stories including the bart service and east bay from baker to union city. the teens it may be taking a new champions of the national league west up next.

welcome back to our last look at the top stories. the bart service between the bay from union city stations in the east bay because of some track work that began overnight they have some issues with ac transit providing a bus bridge between the stations that this could impact the east bay raiders fans had to the coliseum for a game that starts at 125 this afternoon. greatcoat the champions of the national league west clinton less than eight to four win over san diego and elected a cincinnati in the playoffs. the weather forecast today looking pretty nice similar to yesterday. will look ahead things local down a bit midweek to days of cloud cover but as we head towards next things are quite a warm up around the bay area.
