get to. as we take a looks at the expectations for the afternoon clear and cool with temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s. a little patchy fog here and there. breezy conditions expected. as we take a look elsewhere around the bay we will find temperatures ted will be a degree or two warmer than yesterday. still have this cool air mass in place with the center circulation moving into southern california. a few light showers down there early in the morning. they are real hit or miss much like what we saw yesterday. high country still picking up returns with a slight chance of light snow showers up there today as well. through the day tomorrow that low will kick out the high pressure will move through that will leave us mostly clear and dry and slightly warmer through the weekend. bit of a northerly wind flow out there. that will help things warm up. by monday that all weakens and begins to give way to a weak disturbance going by to our

north that mace bring with it a chance of showers. this will be a very minor deal as any rainfall amounts will be very light. and light snow showers in the country today. they too may get a flake or two come monday. as we look elsewhere around the bay for temperatures we find the coastline in the upper 50s across the peninsula. low 60s in the south bay. low top mid 50s to prevail for today. as we jump to the east bay more the same out there as the mid to low 60s will be with us through the weekend. look for a degree or two warmer. that will not be a big warmup for us we are not heading back to the 80s but we will see more seasonal temperatures as again mid 60s is where we should be this time of year. as we head back to the water we expect mid 50s there. the seven-day forecast keeps us

mostly sunny, slightly warmer, and a chance of light showers probably more clouds than anything else come the beginning of the week as we once again stay on the warm side through the week. warm and dry to be sure. that is a good change. it looks like a spring forecast and elsewhere around the country we are talking snow melt which means flood advisories in the midwest and the high country with record snowfall amounts snow melt will be an issue as well. >> that will be a concern. we will be better off if it melts much slower than we could be okay. >> we don't want to warm up too fast or we will have an issue with too much water coming off the hills. >> we will keep an eye on it. it is no secret that finding money to pay for college these days can be difficult and increasingly so there are some businesses out there of course that promise to make it easy for a price. we have a warning for students

>> reporter: nancy is a financial aid advisor at san francisco state. >> if they have to pay, then it defeats the purpose of trying to get scholarship money for free. >> reporter: the better business bureau is issuing a similar warning. it says all the scholarship information anyone needs is already available for free. a lesson they are learning the hard way. >> i think it's best to do our own foot work now. >> reporter: so what about the grant research money back guarantee? the owner of the company tells us she requires documentations the leads didn't work. lewis says that is hard to provide the scholarship organizations they referred him to didn't return his e-mails. we put a link to a free scholarship information on our website. >> if you have a consumer problem or question you can call our hot line.

football game has been praised for their attention to detail. the game mirrors the nfl real world concerns over concussions and headaches. james styer is here. thank you for joining us. tell me about that i'm not a big gamer. i don't know much about the madden football experience. all the games we see are so realistic. this is taking it a step further. >> yes. there is a tremendous amount of publicity around sports. madden the football video game made by ea which will come out over the summer is now including in their 2012 game concussion information. so that if a player is hit in the head during the game, they actually can be sidelined for the rest of the game and the announcers come on during the video game and explain because of the new concussion rules in the nfl, the player has to sit

out. it's a very positive use of a football game. >> so it's already a rule in the nfl. so this is just becoming more realistic. do you think it's that or they are really trying to help kids and teach people about concussions? >> i think in this case they are trying to help kids and teach them about concussions. this has become a very big issue in pro sport and baseball imparticular. the video game makers in this case has decided to make it an interest in games. sometimes we are critical about video games but this case it shows video games that has a vast audience and bigger industry than the movie viz. it can have a positive educational effect. the guys made this game should be applauded for putting this information in the game. >> let's widen the theory out. how does what a kid see on a

video game translate into real life? is that actual going to be something that they will take on the little league field? >> i think they learn from it. some kids copy what they say and others absorb the information in. i think in this case if there is no question it will call to attention for kids and adults who play this because there are many adults who play this game, the issue around severe head injuries, concussions and the more proactive approach that youth leagues are taking now you mention little league but this is a big issue in youth sports. kids get head injuries playing football and soccer and baseball. it's a positive use in the video game to teach a life lesson. we have not always seen that. madden is a popular football game. we applaud that. you can go to common sense.org and see video games like that. you can set limits on your game. you don't want your kid sitting there playing eight hours of

it. >> when we're talking about the different types of video games kids can choose. what would be the benefit of doing sports on the video game rather than going out and playing sports? >> there is no substitute. we do not believe the most healthy thing -- the most healthy thing you can do with your kids is get outside and play with your kids. >> is it okay to play these? >> i think you really have to set limits as a parents. time limits is critical particularly because games are so popular with boys. teen boys imparticular. so in our homes you have to set the limits very clearly. you have to know what the content is. and set those time limits because at the end of the day an hour of video games is fine but five hours is not. whether it's a positive fun educational game like madden 2012 or not. >> thanks for joining us this morning. local law enforcement stepping up efforts to curb discontracted driving in our

a sc >> conspiracy to sell steroids. conspiracy to obstruct justice. conspiracy to falsely arrest. >> the false arrest charges stem from so-called dirty dui's, a scheme in which attractive women were hired to lure men into bars to get them drunk. the officers would then arrest the men when they left. in most cases, the men had issues with their spouses. a caretaker convicted of killing her 70-year-old pleasant hill client will spend at least 31 years in prison now. a contra costa county judge gave the sentence following the incident last year. the criminal past consisted of robbing a colorado pharmacy in

1988 and shooting at police at a napa pharmacy in 1997. a big spike in tickets issued for distracted driving. the chp says it wrote nearly a thousand tickets in two days this week in the bay area, plus santa cruz and san be knee toe counties, part of the most intensive enforcement effort against talking and texting since the hands-free cell phone law went into effect in california three years ago. the chp issued 979 tickets in the bay area on monday and tuesday. that is more than the usual rate statewide. local police wrote about 600 tickets, led by santa rosa, with 257. san francisco giants fans got their money's worth at yesterday's home opener, beating the cardinals in a dramatic 12-inning game. but there was a buzz at the ball park, like in other opening day in the team's history. linda yee has more on all of the festivities.

team colors, and of course there's no accounting for taste, not this day. >> we had a couple tuxedos made for the giants. >> back in vietnam, we got them custom fit to show our loyalty over there. >> number one, baby! >> reporter: what really wowed the crowd, the championship banner. players passed it down the line, and the honors, running across the field to the flag pole where the banner will fly for the entire season. >> goose bumps, great. long time waiting for it. goose bumps, raising the flag, brian wilson, awesome. >> reporter: the giants are certainly milking the celebration. in tomorrow's pregame ceremony, they will be getting their championship rings. at at&t ball park in san francisco, linda yee, cbs 5. and that ring ceremony is

set for tonight. going to be a lot of glory, lot of excitement at at&t park. despite all of the fans there, it was also a very emotional day for the friends and family of the giants fan beaten outside of dodgers stadium last week. john stow and corey nazeal were with brian stow after the season opener in los angeles. they say stow will be in a medically induced coma for at least three more days, but there was no way they could miss yesterday's game. >> going to be a very emotional day. going to be, very emotional roller coaster for a long time, but we're here today. brian would want us to be here today, and represent him and he would be in the stands with us screaming and cheering on the giants, and that's what we're going to do here today. >> we talked about it all winter long, couldn't wait for this beautiful day. >> the giants are going to hold a fund-raiser for stow's family during monday's game against the dodgers and the reward for

information leading to arrest is now more than $150,000. there has been talk about potential giants fan retaliation on monday in this game against the dodgers, and hopefully that is not going to happen. i know the giants organization is stepping up security, certainly on monday for that game. >> that's not part of baseball. >> yeah. >> don't need anymore of that. >> certainly. weather wise, looks like great weather for the game here, as again, we'll look for mostly clear skies tonight. a little patchy fog, cool, as you would expect. we can look for upper 50s this evening at game time, or at least ring ceremony time, until the sun goes down. then we'll be cooling rapidly. a little warmer than last night. not as much frost around the bay, as we see a lovely day taking shape across the golden gate. we'll have the complete forecast coming your way in just a few minutes. and it's down.

the long-time bay area landmark is leveled. why people have mixed feelings about the demolition. and an unseasonal wildfire destroyed tens of thousands of acres. we'll have a look at where this is burning, coming up next. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

dispatch of more firefighting resources. the fire in west texas has already scorched more than 50 thousand acres and has burned two unoccupied homes. the texas fo a wildfire in west texas has scorched more than 50,000 acres, burning two homes. luckily, nobody was living there at the time. the texas forest service is fighting the fire by air and on land. tanker planes have been dropping thousands of gallons of fire retardant. the flames keep spreading, because conditions are very hot and dry there. it's an area between lubbock, texas and abilene. so far, no towns are threatened. no word on when that fire might be contained. back to our weather around

here, sun is shining, but don't be fooled. it is chilly outside. >> it is cool, definitely frost down to the south, across monterrey county. with those fires, very strong winds across the desert southwest, fueling the flames. of course given the wetness this winter, we'll have a lot of growth this spring. >> such a catch-22. >> we'll be looking at high fire danger late this summer, as we have no fire danger today to speak of, as clear skies and cool temperatures prevail out there this morning. looking from our vaca cam, we see just that. jumps to the south bay, a little haze out there. overall, looking at clear and dry conditions here through the weekend. a bit of patchy frost this morning, as mentioned, down in monterrey county and san benito. less of that over the next few days, as conditions warm up. clear and cool for today across the region. a little warmer, but nothing dramatic. a degree or two here is about all we can expect. patchy fog around the shoreline

here, but that will give way by midmorning to mostly sunny skies. the weather maker that brought the light shower activity last few days is now moving off into southern california. it's a relatively weak one, but is packing a lot of cool air here. this is all very cool air moving across the state. it will begin to lift off to the northeast through the day, allowing a high pressure system to our west to move in tomorrow, bringing with it a bit of an offshore breeze here across the area. that always tends to warm us up a bit. storm tracker meeting well to the north for the foreseeable future. we'll see a little ripple tail end of a system brush the area on monday, could bring light shower activity mainly into the north bay. even at that, i don't think it will amount to much. more clouds than rain for the greater bay area, and we look for the most part, for clear and dry and slightly warmer right on through the week here, as the weather pattern shifts to a high pressure system. always a good sign in the spring. breezy conditions today. light snow showers up in the highcountry today, giving way to partly cloudy skies here

tomorrow, and we canceled monday and made it another saturday, so you get an extra ski day in there. we'll see light showers on that day as well, special mistake holiday or something, not sure. given the amount of snow up there, any additional snow is just adding to epic proportions here for the high sierra. as we take a look around the bay today, temperature wise, mid to low 60s to prevail for the warm spots. moving back to the water, across the peninsula, upper 50s at the beach. low 60s around the peninsula here, and in the east bay, in the mid to low 60s today. add a degree or two to this for tomorrow and then slightly warmer through the week, but we're not headed back into the 80s like we saw a week ago. so we'll be more closer to seasonal norms here as mid to low 60s will prevail. as mentioned, glancing blow on monday could bring some light sprinkles to the area. but it's not going to ruin anybody's parade, as we'll see partly cloudy conditions through the weekend and, again,

warmer temperatures as we head back into the upper 60s, low 70s, which is just about where we ought to be for this time of year. so the pendulum has swung back from very warm, record temperatures. cool temperatures this week. now we're just about right. goldie locks weather. >> okay. sounds good. thanks for that. the end of an era in the oakland hills. the oak knoll naval hospital crashing down yesterday afternoon, landing in a heap. there she goes again. a heap of rubble and dust. demolition crews imploded that 11-story building so construction can start on the new housing development. kristen ayers with why some were sad to see the old relic go. >> reporter: the blast capped a bittersweet buildup for some. >> i've seen everything from birth to death here. >> reporter: birch came here to

witness one final death, that of a small piece of naval history. >> i think of how many babies were born there and people who died there and families who were rejoicing and families who were sad. >> reporter: now it's her turn to grieve. the oak knoll naval hospital was her training ground as a young trauma nurse in the '80s. she was here during the gulf war and when the hospital shut down in 1996, and has watched its sad decay in the years since. but not everyone is mourning. >> i'm really excited. >> reporter: excited, councilman larry reed, says, to be pushing the button that will blast a blight into the past, making way for a new development that he believes could change the face of east oakland. >> this is the last prime 167 acres of real estate in the city of oakland for development. >> reporter: the city and residents have been pressuring the developer and it's part inner, bankrupt lehman brothers, to tear the building down for years. finally the siren sounds, the

countdown begins. and the hospital is history, crumbling from the ground and from the air, as neighbors celebrate, birch is near tears. >> so many years here, so many people i knew, so many people i took care of. >> reporter: now the site's future is uncertain. there is nothing to do now but move forward. >> it's permanent now. it's real. it's not coming back. >> reporter: all of the cement left behind will be recycled and used for other projects, but rebuilding won't start for several years. there's still an entitlement process that needs to happen. then the housing market will dictate how quickly this area is rebuilt. in oakland, kristen ayers, cbs 5. well, people spent the night at the oakland coliseum, believe it or not. still to come here on weekend early edition, the free offers inspiring people to line up for hours. but first, here's tony t with some tips on tomatoes. well, today's tip of the day is a hot house grown beef

common ground. they share the grief gang violence can bring. >> we could relate, in a different way. >> they are going to go through the same pain that we go through, and it's all the same pain, you know. just going back at each other and it's never going to stop unless we stop ourselves. >> reporter: chavez knows the vicious cycle. he grew up in a broken home and got in trouble with the law. he felt compelled to start the program two years ago at the east bay ymca, where he's on staff. >> i average about six to ten funerals are year that i attend. most are open casket. i'm tired of it. >> reporter: today, he oversees more than 200 young people in the program who are in gangs or influenced by gangs. the president of the east bay ymca praises cesar's leadership. >> he has the passion and urgency of an activist, the knowledge and nurture of a teacher, and the skills and

the fede up and running the federal government, still up and running this morning. the deal that is keeping it in business, at least for now. a bay area business owner shot to death outside of his restaurant and investigators have reason to believe he was specifically targeted. that investigation continues this morning. and a local landmark that became an eyesore enters a new

era, as a pile of rubble. it is just before 9:00 a.m. on saturday, april 9. thanks for joining us. i'm anne mackovic. >> i'm jim bernard, in to take a look at your sidewalk cafe weather for the weekend. >> with a big coat! let's point that out! >> yeah, it will be a little cool. it's san francisco. what do you think? >> the sunshine is misleading this morning. >> it's still nice. don't forget the coat. we will see clear skies prevailing through the weekend. breezy conditions this afternoon, but a nice morning to be out on the sidewalk, with a big coat and the dogs, as you can enjoy a warm beverage as, again, we'll see a slight warmup here. nothing dramatic. not headed back to the 80s like we were a week or two ago. we'll look to mid to low 60s to prevail today. slightly warmer tomorrow. rest of the forecast details, coming your way in a few minutes. leading the news this morning, a deal is finally at hand in washington, dc to fund the government for the next five months. negotiators from congress and

the white house have agreed to slash an historic amount of spending. as joel brown tells us, the late night deal came with little time to spare. >> reporter: just minutes before the midnight deadline, president obama walked to the podium to announce the government would not shut down. >> the washington monument, as well as the entire federal government will be open for business. >> reporter: the president, top senate democrat harry reid and house speaker john boehner struck a deal that funds the government through september. it slashes some $38 billion in spending, which could add up to the largest budget cuts for federal agencies in history. >> we fought to keep government spending down because it really will in fact help create a better environment for job creators in our country. >> both sides have had to make tough choices, but tough choices is what jobs is all about. >> reporter: the deal may be done, but it's not official yet. there wasn't time for lawmakers to turn the agreement into a bill and pass it, so they

rushed for a measure that would keep the government open one more week. the senate acted within minutes. took the house a little longer. but because the two sides had reached a deal, the top white house budget official ordered federal agencies not to shut down at midnight. that was welcome news for about 800,000 federal employees, who were preparing to stay home without pay, starting today. this budget battle was only the first step. next week, lawmakers start working on the federal budget for next year. republicans are ready to fight for as much as $100 billion in cuts in that spending plan. joel brown, cbs news, washington. now, several house republicans voted against the measure to keep the government open for one more week. that is a move to show they are not happy with the long-term deal between boehner and democratic leaders. a popular restaurant owner in oakland's fruitvale area has been shot and killed in that investigation continues this morning.

jesus campos gunned down outside his restaurant on international boulevard, just before dawn yesterday. as elizabeth cook reports, police say campos may have been specifically targeted. >> reporter: in some neighborhoods, there are restaurants, but in fruitvale, otez mexican restaurant is part of the neighborhood. over three decades, steaming pots, building his american dream. >> he worked 16 hours a day, seven days a week, trying to help the community, cinco de mayo events he used to put on, and he ends up here. it's not right. >> reporter: just before dawn, two gunmen silenced the dream that took 30 years to build. >> someone in our family gets hurt, we take it personal. >> reporter: 58-year-old campos, known in fruitvale as chewy, was opening his restaurant. police say what he didn't know was the two gunmen were laying in wait. >> i'm sure the criminals knew his routine and the business that he has. if you put two and two

together, it's reasonable to believe that maybe he was targeted, because he's the owner of a successful business. we can't rule that out. >> reporter: oakland police will say they believe it was a botched robbery. campos initially survived the attack and was raced to highland hospital. he died as emergency teams tried to save him. within hours of the news of campos' death, oakland mayor gene kwan took to the airways in a press conference. >> jesus campos was a well- known leader of the community, clearly a leader of the fruitvale area, somebody with a big heart who would always pass food to people when they needed it. >> reporter: friends, family and neighbors gathered outside his restaurant in silent vigil, most too distraught to speak. but george campos did speak, saying he helped campos build his beloved restaurant and came back tonight to honor a fallen community angel. >> chewy was one of the pillars

of the community. he treated everybody well. he was a very interesting human being and everything he did, he did it to better the community. >> reporter: elizabeth cook, cbs 5. >> the reward money in this case is expected to total $70,000. oakland police say they are also spending an extra $150,000 a month on overtime to put extra resources in some of the city's most dangerous areas, including international boulevard, where campos was murdered. on to the perjury trial of former baseball star barry bonds. the fate of the trial will have to wait until next week. the jury has not yet reached a verdict after hours of deliberation yesterday. as joe vasquez reports, jurors are taking a closer look at key pieces of evidence. >> reporter: the jury asked the judge if they could look at transcripts related to steve and kathy hoskins, who claims she saw greg anderson injecting barry bonds with a syringe, and

steve, her brother, who is a former business partner of barry bonds, claims that he made a secret recording talking to greg anderson about injecting bonds with steroids. >> that was joe vasquez recording. yesterday, the judge in this case ordered bonds' former personal trainer anderson to be released in jail. he's been in jail since the beginning of the trial on civil contempt charges because he refused to testify against bonds. in the monterrey bay area, shop owners in cap toll la will welcome customers back today for a revival party. the coastal town flooded not once, but twice a couple of weeks ago. mark sayer shows us how shops are getting creative to try to keep their businesses afloat. >> reporter: making the best of a bad situation, stores flooded out a few weeks ago are now reopened in a garage. >> it's kind of fun.

we are having a good time. lots of people help set up, so it went faster than we thought. >> reporter: it was march 26 when flood waters came rushing through captolla village. the city estimates total damage at $10 million. about a dozen displaced shops are now operating in temporary quarters, including this big outdoor tent. >> it's an adventure. it's like somebody came and told me, one of my customers, when you get a lemon, make lemonade out of it. this is exactly what we're doing. >> reporter: while captolla is not entirely back to normal, the town is planning a revival party on saturday afternoon. the goal? to show locals and visitors alike, that despite all the problems they have had here, the town is open for business. >> we're doing good. we're doing much better this week. >> it's been a long road. >> it has been a long road, but our community has come together. we're working together to put back our community and we're doing it. >> reporter: at drainage pipe that ruptured and triggered the flood has now been replaced, but there's still plenty of work to be done to repair all

of the damage. >> here's your card back. >> reporter: this visitor from texas heard about the flooding and made a specific point of coming to captolla to spend some money. >> i needed to come down here and patronize the store i patronize before and help out. i think it's a real tragedy. >> reporter: the revival party begins at 1:00 in the afternoon. in captolla, mark sayer, cbs 5. 9 minutes after 8:00. let's reverse that. 8 minutes after 9:00 now. >> it's saturday. who cares. fair enough. we're going to have a check on the weather coming up. >> we are. we'll take a look at our sidewalk cafe weather out and around the bay this morning, as we see clear skies prevailing. that trend will continue through the weekend. no rain in sight for us. cool temperatures this morning, but that's going to warm up a bit here through the week. a little frost, patchy frost here and there across inland valleys. again, we'll look for warmer temperatures coming up tomorrow. nothing dramatic, just a few

degrees warmer, as we will expect lots of sunshine to go around. make a point to plan accordingly. also coming up on weekend early edition, will the crack of the battin to be heard in berkeley? a final decision of the future of golden bears baseball. mixed feelings and a long-time bay area landmark leveled. some people have mixed feelings about the demolition, though. we'll tell you why. ,,,,,,

hospital implodes the former oak knoll naval hospital was an oakland hills landmark is now history. there she goes. the former oak knoll naval hospital was imploded yesterday into a pile of rubble and dust. the hospital has been closed and abandoned since 1996. it was getting very neglected and deteriorated. lot of people in the area are glad to see this go for that reason, but one nurse who used to work there has some mixed

feelings. >> i think of how many babies were born there and people who died there, and families who were rejoicing and families were grieving. >> one more time, another look. the site's future is uncertain at this time. there's talk of housing and a new shopping center in the area, but it's going to be years away. an entitlement process and the housing market will determine when redevelopment can actually begin. it is a day that you'll need both the shades and a warm coat. >> actually, that about covers it. we see no rain in sight for the weekend. clear skies, a cool start to the day, as we have seen patchy frost down in monterrey county, inland valleys seeing a little frost the last few mornings. that trend will be warming up through the weekend, as we take

a look across the south bay and see a good bit of haze, but no cloud cover to speak of today. the slight chance of showers that's been with us the last few days has moved into southern california. the golden gate, also sunny and clear this morning. a crisp view around the bay here, as we take a look at the expectations for this afternoon. we'll look for low 60s out to the east across warmer locations, with mostly clear skies, and breezy conditions as you move back into the bay here this afternoon. upper 50s around the water. a little farther inland, expect low 60s there as well, right at the coast. mid to upper 50s should prevail, as again, skies are clearing out. there goes the scattered light rain shower activity we've been looking at the last few days. center of circulation, now right about point conception. it will begin to move inland through the day, to be replaced by a high pressure system that's blocking the weather pattern here and sending the jet stream by to our north, keeping the storm track into the pacific northwest and

british columbia at this time, which is where it will sit through most of next week. glancing blow, tail end of the system arrives monday. could bring a slight chance of light shower activity into the north bay, but it will be a minor event, as this high pressure system and the associated offshore northerly winds will help keep us clear and dry through the weekend, slightly warmer as well. nothing dramatic. we're not headed back into the 80s here, as we were a week ago. but we will look for mid to low 60s this weekend, and into the mid to upper 60s through the week, which is a little more typical for this time of year. once again, looks like a crisp start to the day, as we will expect temperatures in the warmer locations, mid to low 60s to prevail moving back towards the peninsula on the water, a little cooler. upper 50s, low 60s there. over in the east bay, they, too, can expect mid to low 60s for today. tomorrow, add a degree or two to these temps and we'll see more mid to approaching upper 60s for some of the warmer

spots. same scenario across the north bay here for today, near the waters, still have upper 50s with breezy conditions. so, you know, it's going to have a bit of a nip in the air as winds pick up and the 20 to 30 mile-per-hour range around the bay. looks like good sailing weather out there. that slight chance of light shower activity arrives on monday, but i suspect it will be more clouds than rain, as we warm back up through the remainder of the weekend. game time tonight, 7:05. we'll look for upper 50s at at&t park, with clear skies through the night. probably a bit chilly at the ball park. plan accordingly, as i'm sure you will. giants fans always do. >> that's right. we always dress in layers, several of them tonight. also, another couple of big events going on locally in san francisco. we have cesar chavez day parade going on, 11:00 a.m. at the lawrence park. and japanese cherry blossom festival starts in japantown. >> dry weather for all of the

festivities. and the san francisco giants, of course, big ring ceremony going on tonight. they are set to play at at&t park, second game against the cardinals after their long awaited home opener yesterday. a dramatic win in extra innings. kim coyle has more, plus the sharks in the desert and the a's up in the twin cities in today's sports recap. the good morning, everyone. for 29 teams, opening day is a symbol of a fresh start. but for the giants, it was simply the latest opportunity to celebrate their world series win. the man of the people, brian wilson went into the crowd to help raise the banner giants fans have been waiting for since 1958. wilson would blow the save in the ninth and the giants bats bailed them out. 12th inning, the game-winning hit on opening day for the second year in a row. giants beat the cardinals 5-4. fred anderson pitched a

complete game against -- minnesota scores twice in the 8th and beat the a's 2-1. round two of the masters, tiger woods birdies seven of the final 11 holes on way to a 66, 3 shots behind mcelroy, now 10-under through 36 holes. sharks and coyotes, historic night for thornton, recording his 1000th career point. phoenix beats the sharks 4-3. they will play their season finale tomorrow night at the tank. third round coverage of the masters begins right here on cbs 5 at 11:00 a.m. see you at 5:30. and the arena football league, the san jose saber cats beat the utah blaze 75-55 last night at hp pavillion. nhl tonight, playoff-bound sharks hosting the phoenix coyotes in the regular season finale. in major league soccer, san jose earthquakes hosting

toronto fc, both games beginning at 7:30. a come-from-behind win for uc berkeley baseball players. fund-raising efforts have saved the cal baseball team. the university planned to shut down the 119-year-old program to save money. lot of people, very unhappy about that. yesterday, officials decided to reinstate the sport, after donors raised $9 million. fund-raising efforts continue to raise even more money for the resurrected program. experts keep warning us till they are blue in the face, but has it been enough to get californiaians prepared for a major earthquake? why some in the know are saying no. ,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,

introducing the thunderbolt by htc. immense power. scorching speed. the first phone strong enough to run on the fastest, most advanced 4g network in america. sunshine across the bay today. a very large wildfire this morning continues to burn in

west texas. it is spreading and forcing the dispatch of more firefighting resources. the fire has already scorched more than 50,000 acres and has burned two homes. luckily, nobody was living in those homes at the time. the texas forest service is fighting that fire, by land and by air. tanker planes dropping thousands of gallons of fire retardants, but conditions are very hot and dry in this area, which is between lubbock and abilene, texas. no towns are threatened. no word on when the fire might be contained. most californians, well, some tend to think we're ready for a major earthquake. both the red cross and the u.s. geological survey say that is not the case. why we need to go back to school. >> reporter: hall embeach elementary takes earthquake drills very seriously. the school is just 80 miles from the cascade zone, a major

fault off the northwestern coast that unleashed a sendai- size quake 311 years ago. seismologists say it could rupture again, any day. >> the buildings themselves will start to collapse. we know that from engineers, that our schools will collapse. >> reporter: cannon beach is one of 649 oregon schools in danger of collapse in an earthquake. most of them have not been retrofitted. 307,000 students are at risk. >> because we've only known for about the last 20 years that we had the potential for one of these great earthquakes, we are not as prepared as we should be. >> reporter: due to a $3.6 billion deficit, oregon slashed the school retrofitting budget by 25%, which includes strengthening doorways and adding extra wood on both the walls and roofs to stop them from coming apart. it will be at least 20 years before all the schools are fixed, lagging far behind japan's earthquake readiness. eight seconds after the sendai earthquake began, japan's new

early warning system was sending out an emergency alert across the country. now, despite the substantial risk of earthquakes along the entire west coast here, the u.s. has no similar system, something experts say could cost us dearly. there is a prototype. >> shaking expected in 21 seconds. >> reporter: seismologists are testing a network of seismic detectors like in japan that will give people vital seconds of warning time. >> you could have a surgeon stop operating on a patient, bring an elevator to the nearest floor, you could have a company stop handling hazardous chemicals while the shaking goes by. >> reporter: but it would cost $150 million to install along the west coast and federal funding for all earthquake research, including this program, faces an 8% cut next year. building scrods been tightened in the west, but engineers say japan still does more extensive stress testing and uses higher

quality concrete, all a question of money. in cannon beach, residents know the risk of living in an earthquake zone. >> it's a beautiful location, but it's very dangerous. >> reporter: the question is whether we're willing to spend money now on an unpredictable threat in the future. terry mccarthy, cbs news, los angeles. >> scary stuff. people are waking up this morning at the oakland coliseum, all for a chance to get free medical help this morning. there were a lot of people waiting outside in their cars in the parking lot last night. then at midnight, they were allowed to line up. a volunteer group called remote area medical handed out tickets to the folks, then, starting at 3:30 in the morning. these visitors can get eye exams, a new pair of free glasses, teeth cleanings, and extractions. even acupuncture. >> we get back a lot more than we give. they are so grateful, it just breaks your heart. >> the only criteria is you have to show up.

you have to show up very, very early, because it's first come, first served. >> that event runs through tuesday and organizers expect to treat about 1000 people each day. well, around here, we have crime stories and cute stories about monkeys. finally, those two things come together. why you need to keep a close eye on some bolivian squirrel monkeys, coming up. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

charles dickens...london has a history of pint-sized pickpockets. 9:27 now. an awfully cute story about monkeys, but apparently very naughty little guys. >> well, according to charles dickens, one has a history of pint size pick pockets, but now there's a new wave of miniature bandits wreaking havoc on citizens of london. these primate thieves are stealing sunglasses from visitors at the london zoo. the zookeepers say the bolivian

squirrel monkeys like seeing their reflections in the tinted lenses. huh. there's a plan to reform then the enclosure. >> can't they just get these guys some mirrors? on another note, a couple from alaska have created an adult-size version of the radio flyer wagon, everybody's favorite. >> yes, yes, i had one as a kid. an auto fair in north carolina, a couple from wasilla built it over 11 months. their radio flyer, more than three and a half times the size of the original children's toy. you could have dozens of kids in that thing. 13 1/2 feet long, wide enough to hold two grown-ups. the combination wagon/car has a cruising speed of about 50 miles per hour. >> still steer with the handle? >> maybe. >> i don't know. thanks for joining us this morning. enjoy your sunny saturday, but

remember, it's chilly. >> have a good one. ,,,,,,
