the 21st annual health rankings are out, the longest running national assessment on a state by state basis. it looks at everything from crime and substance abuse to air pollution. today in the bay's tracy pots is live in washington, d.c. with a look at the numbers and where california ranks. >> california slipped a bit from number 23 to 26. several things california is doing right according to the report, not a lot of smoking and a lot of women getting early prenatal care in the state and a low infant mortality rate. the state has challenges too. a lot of infectious disease in california as you might imagine. high levels of air pollution contributing to bat health and a lot of people who are uninsured cannot see a doctor. that's california. the big picture is overall the nation's health improved by 1% from last year. that may not sound like a lot, but it's twice as much as we saw over the last decade.

lots of things going right here. less smoking and less crime and disease. fewer people dying from heart disease. fewer people being hospitalized for preventable illnesses. they do point out that obesity and childhood poverty are big issues, but we are seeing incremental progress. tracie potts for today in the bay. >> thanks a lot and time is 5:44. good morning and thanks for joining us. laura is on assignment. first, the ninth circuit court of appeals in san francisco will decide the fate of the legal status in the battle over prop 8. our legal analyst is here with us this morning with what we can take from yesterday's hearing. we got to see this one. it was on c-span. there was anything you saw that stood out that gives you any indication where the court stands on the issue? >> the court was concerned about two issues.

are the proponents of prop 8 as opposed to the general the proper pears to bring the appeal? if they decide they are not, it may be over sooner rather than later. the court focused on the reason that prop 8 exists. is it a compelling state interest to deny same-sex couples the right to marry? what is the governmental interest? that could turn it case. >> "san francisco chronicle" said the judges hinted at a ruling that let gays and lesbians marry, but keep other state laws intact. was that indicated in what happened yesterday? >> the ninth circuit will take the most narrow approach possible. this was only three justices of the ninth circuit and not the entire ninth circuit and not the supreme court. they are going to look at this and say we will only look at the judge's decision as opposed to issuing a broad ruling across the united states. tray will try if they can, but

this is an issue of national importance. probably one of the most we have today. it's important that the court make a ruling that gives guidance to everyone. >> do you think this is going to go to the supreme court? a lot of people are saying they think it will. i also heard another report that said the way this process goes along could drag this out quite a bit and the justices may say we don't want to make a ruling that will drag it on and on. we top the make a different ruling and have a conclusion to what we got before us today. >> the case will get to the u.s. supreme court. there state decisions coming up across the united states. very, very important. i think it will make its way there. whether the court waits to see if there is conflict is the question. i think ultimately the united states supreme court will weigh in on the issue. it is that important. >> it seems like there two issues here. one is the constitutional rights of gay people to marry.

the other is that some voters say do the courts get to govern the land? the voters went to the poll and they decided. who gets the final say? will that issue come up? >> the justices spent a lot of time on that issue. it was the will of the people that voted for proposition 8. the constitution protects the interest of the minority. you have those two competing and that's the way the court will decide whether you can deny individuals under the equal protection clause the right to marry even though the will of the people has spoken. >> we will be talking more in the 6:00 hour. we will see. it's going to be a while before we get a ruling. getting set for the first of traffic and hopefully you will have this accident cleared. right now the cars off of the roadway into a ditch before you

the atmosphere. probably not reaching the ocean, but showing us we have more clouds and moisture coming in. that's real rain offshore around yreka. low pressure fanning big waves towards the coast. shoez should arrive towards wednesday and thursday. 15 to 20-foot waves in the northern california coastline. no worries about rain this morning. patchy fog could show you down out to the trivalley and the north bay. the afternoon looks good. san jose southward in the 60s. 50s across the north bay and come this time tomorrow, the rain comes back. we will see a cool down for the week and we will clear out and warm up into the weekend. >> thanks a lot, rob. a bay area factory is busy making unique toys for kids that they say are safe for children and the environment. bob redell is joining us live from san leandro with the story. bob?

give you a better idea of what it is. one of the biggest products, how are you, robert? >> making a dump truck. >> out of recycled plastic. >> these are recycled milk jugs that people throw in the recycle bin and we make dump trucks out of them. >> when you think of milk jug plastic that is thin and viable and this is much more durable and rigid. just from an nrnling point, this has been a challenge. >> when you think of a milk jug, it's thin and easy to do. it takes silicon valley technology to pull it off. >> how are your sales? how is your business? you have been doing this for five years? >> it's off the charts. we are growing at 70% a year. 3,000 customers at retail locations in the united states.
