the national institutes of health. researchers followed women for 10 years. they were workers from nurses up to ph.d.s and most of them white around the age of 57. they honed in on the women who said they did demanding work with little or no authority or opportunity to use their own judgment. researchers call this job strain and say those women had a 40% increased risk of cardiovascular disease. they had an 88% increase for heart attack and a 43% increase for bypass or other invasive surgeries. why is it relevant? 33.7% of women die of heart disease and stroke, 106 women every day. here's the thing. heart experts say we don't have to take it lying down zeechlt to manage our stress. that means exercising and fining time for ourselves and trying not to bring the work home with us. that's difficult sometimes.

coming by. as we mentioned, this is the pretrial where the prosecutors need to prove to the judge that yes, we can go forward. >> they have to show a reasonable suspicion that a crime was submit committed and these seven committed a crime. it's not beyond a reasonable doubt, but it's a good way to get a preview of your case. they will put on a lot of witness and forensic evidence. >> all seven going on trial at the same time. does that make it easier or more difficult? is it a unique thing when you got all and you are tieing it together. >> it's more difficult. that means you have seven lawyers cross examining balances. it's a big challenge for the da. there may be an opportunity to step up and say they will testify against the others. they will look at that as an option. these seven face a long sentence. >> there were so many stunning aspects, but one was there were
6:18 am
so many people who saw what happened and they didn't do anything. you were mentioning that's one of the things that people are looking at. it's not illegal to do nothing, but people are thinking we need to look at. >> you can't participate to any degree. they were egging this behavior on. that would be criminal, but merely watching and not doing anything did does not make you liable. a lot of people are upset particularly that it was a minor involved, a 15-year-old girl and no one helped her. the victim's identity has been protected and her identity not released. it's a criminal case. does she take the stand? you don't think she will. does that make it hard for the prosecution as well? >> it may make it easier because
6:19 am
she won't have to testify twice. california law was changed for victim's rights so you don't have to testify at a preliminary hearing. they can testify through the police officers. she will have to testify at the trial. she will have to face the accusers at that time. >> sheville to go on the stand? >> absolutely. >> this is a jury trial and you have seven people. if you can try one person, you in a sense get to know who that person is that you are judging. when there seven, is it hard to make an assessment? >> it's up to the da to make sure they understand there seven defendants and they're entitled to seven verdicts. this is not new. they face this in gang prosecutions and multiple defendant cases t. makes it more cumbersome and longer, but if they did it seven times, this could have would have to testify in each trial. >> that are would be a tough thing to do.

the war started in 2001. congress returns to washington for the lame duck session when all the lawmakers come back for the last few weeks of business. the white house might surrender and extend tax cuts for the wealthy at a cost of nearly $700 billion. congress also needs to pass spending bills to avoid a shut down and deal with the big items. medicare preventing another cut and social security. >> we have this under grips. to find bipartisan agreements to reform before it's too late. >> democrats are hoping they can squeeze in approving $250 social security cuts to make up for a cost of living increase. >> scott continues our coverage and when we talk about tax cuts for the rich. the word rich covers a lot of people. people in california and the bay area.
6:22 am
>> $250,000 and up and i won't pretend that it's not a lot of money. for a lot of people it is and for californians, less so. the top 2% really tend to be the super, super rich. in fact that top 5% of americans gets half the cut when is you measure it out. when you tax the super rich at a higher rate, that helps bring down the deficit, no question of that. the nonpartisan budget office puts the tax cuts for the rich that cost about $700 billion over 10 years. critics point out the conservatives who are in favor of extending the cuts routinely call this health care plan too expensive and fail to realize the tax breaks on the rich are 2.5 times more expensive than that. if you tax the super rich, you get about $700 billion back. that helps bring down the deficit, but not very much.
6:23 am
it has been the recession, everybody has a way of blaming congress for the recession or the budget deficit. it's really the recession. >> the interesting thing is you talk about trillions of dollars. sometimes a billion is not that much. >> who cares. it's not that much money. it's mind-boggling numbers. buy a truck, get a gun. that's the offer from a dealership in central florida. not just any gun, but an ak-47 assault rifle. nation's trucks is giving anybody who buys a truck a $400 voucher to go to a gun shop and get the gun. they have to pass a background check first. the owners know this is a controversial idea, but their sales have more than doubled since that promotion started. would be robbers find themselves in a tight spot.

6:47 am
say this was almost a quote, if that's all they can get, they will take it. that's got to be done by the end of the year and pass spending bills. not one pass, the government now running on borrowed money. they have to try to get some of those spending bills passed and also deal with social security and medicare. it's a heavy agenda for a lame duck congress. >> it is a lot. we will see how it goes. thanks, tracy. >> i hope to not be a lame duck traffic reporter this morning. here's east bay travel times. so far moving smoothly. they rarely change. this is nice for a monday morning and getting out the door early. as you head over to the east bay in oakland, 580 moving smoothly. all times as normal. a little bit of slowing as it looks like you get to the interchange. to 580, same thing. nothing new to report there. this is fabulous. east shore freeway looking good.

6:50 am
those men expected in the courtroom later this morning for a preliminary hearing. this is so the judge can decide whether there is enough evidence and the hearing could last several days because the da is expected to call many to the stand including police, experts and witnesses. many watched the gang rape as it went on for 2 1/2 hours and did nothing. security and administrators were not aware this was going on especially since it was at a darker part of the school grounds. the school district spent $2.5 million on security upgrades at richmond high. they improved lighting and added fencing and cut back trees and installed 2 dozen security cameras. >> it was the best investment we could have made to ensure the safety of the students. >> the school looks much safer than it was before. you still have that conscious going on in your head.
6:51 am
>> the victim, a 16-year-old, has remained anonymous since the crime took place and left the district and settled her case with the district as well. live here in richmond, today in the bay. >> let's check the markets. dow industrials up 44 points and caterpillar making a huge buy worth $7 billion. we are hearing rolls royce, the british company will replace the engines on all the super jumbos and the double-decker jumbos. a big problem. i should point out general electric owns the stations and makes jet engines. dow up after just a spectacularly bad week last week. brent? >> scott, thank you very much. getting the cameras lined up and

6:53 am
for heart attacks and 40% increased risk in needing bypass surgery or invasive treatments. in california, 33.7% of women die in heart disease and stroke, an average of 106 women every day. worrying about losing your job can put you at risk for gaining weight and high are blood pressure and cholesterol. here's the thing. health experts say you don't have to take this lying down. you have to manage your stress and get exercise and spend time having fun with your friends and family and we can't forget about the importance of play. i would add one more thing. if this is about work stress, i would say try to address the stresses at work and maybe talk to your boss and rearrange what you can. try to think about something else. brent, don't stress laura out. >> i'm trying not to and i'm pushing hard for in-studio massage therapy. that's my new cause. >> feel the love.
6:54 am
