the city's new ranked choice system, but he still will not call for a recount. this is a new thing for oakland. i'm more than happy to see what unfolds. but, you know, i'm not going to lead that charge. >> quan will replace outgoing mayor ron dellums who decided not to seek a second term. so it's the new math for our old democracy. >> but is it fair? or for that matter is it really all that democratic? as simon perez found out, how you feel about ranked choice voting probably has a lot to do with how you feel about the outcome. simon. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, allen. you know, the interesting thing about some of the races here in san francisco and also the mayor's race in oakland is that a lot of people are focusing not only on who won but how exactly it was they got elected. we are talking about the ranked choice voting system. that's of course where you have three options on the ballot, option number one is the candidate would you like most to win, but then you also have

options for your second favorite candidate and then your third. and it's a long and drawn-out system. but basically, what happens is you see who won the most votes right off the top. if there is no majority winner right then, then what you do is you start adding the second and the third place votes. if someone gets the most votes from first place that would have been don perata in oakland, but then you start to count the second and third place votes. and that's how jean quan was able to move ahead. she got a lot more second place votes than don perata did. she got a lot more third place votes than he did and that's how she jumped to the lead even though she wasn't in first from the beginning. so it's interesting. a lot of times it depends on who done as to whether you like it. >> forget math. forget analytical thinking. is that democracy where a 12% winner is the elected official? there is an issue with that. >> reporter: david is a political analyst who isn't too fond of ranked choice voting.

his case-in-chief, district 10 supervisor in san francisco. the project winner is just 12% winner. because she was the second and third choice of more voters she is at the top of the heap. he prefers the top two candidates in the general election battle it out in a runoff. >> the voters are going to get to choose one of the two people who are going to win. and maybe they don't like the two choices but at least you get a choice. >> the goal here is to make sure that you have a lot of candidates, robust public debate. >> reporter: steven hill is on the other side of the debate supporting ranked choice voting. he says it allows voters to cast their first choice ballots with conviction and have a backup at number 2. >> it liberates voters to vote for the candidates they truly like instead of always have to pickers will of two evils. >> reporter: so for example if you really like ralph nader you vote for him first. but if he fails and your second vote is for al gore, your vote would go to gore. you don't have to skip nader because i think it will hurt

gore. >> both candidates go ex- streamingly negative. >> reporter: hill adds that in traditional elections candidates tear down their opponents while rank choice requires them to play nice. >> if i want to get the number 2 rankings from your supporters i can't do that by knocking you and saying you're, you know, the worst evil thing out there. instead, i have to find common ground with you. i have to say some things about you that i agree with and then hope to get your number 2 that way. >> reporter: that's exactly what jean quan did to win the oakland mayor's race teaming one another candidate to beat don perata who had the most first choice votes but failed to get second and third. the ranked choice voting critic says that's almost like gaming the system. he prefers a system where you have a general knockdown dragout election and then the last two candidates standing go into runoff and that's when they start to reach out to the other voters and the critic says that shows exactly how they might govern because they will have to reach out to other votes. >> call me old-fashioned. i like the runoff, too.

simon perez, thank you. in the race for the 11th congressional district, incumbent jerry mcnerney is declaring victory. the latest count shows him about 2,000 votes over republican challenger david harmer. the incumbent called the lead insurmountable. >> i'm truly honored. i'm truly humbled and honored to accept that choice and to do my best to serve this community for the next two years. >> however, harmer isn't conceding yet. the four counties involved don't expect to certify the results until november 24th at the earliest. how about this one? a big statewide race is still undecided. according to the latest numbers from the secretary of state website, san francisco district attorney kamala harris trails her los angeles counterpart steve cooley by fewer than 20,000 votes. there are still at least 1 million ballots to be counted, so stay tuned on this one. tonight the workers at the

tesoro refinery are trying to restart that facility after flames and thick, black smoke from the refinery caused a shelter in place for some folks in the east bay. sherry hu is there with what's going on tonight. sherry. >> reporter: well, allen, all clear tonight no hint of the black smoke that was seen for miles. it all started after a power outage forced the refinery to stop production. now, a spokesman for tesoro golden eagle is having trouble getting restarted. it takes a while not just a flip of the switch. the black smoke a lot of folks saw yesterday came from the flaring that's all part of the shutdown process to burn off hydrocarbons. all the equipment worked exactly as it was supposed to according to a spokesman but because of the smoke, the county health department called for a shelter in place as a precaution so for a couple of hours people living nearby were advised to close windows and doors in the house and avoid the black smoke. tesoro says the refinery had a complete power outage and that included the main power and the

backup generator and it's now working with pg&e to figure out the cause of it all. allen, on the upside, no one reported hurt either at the refinery or out in the neighborhood. >> that's a tremendous relief. thank you, sherry. well, the fruitvale bart station in oakland is closed right now because of a march to protest the deadly shooting of two oakland men by police. protestors are demanding justice for derrick jones and oscar grant. supporters of both men marched to the fruitvale bart station this afternoon. police chased jones monday night and opened fire after they say he reached for a waistband. they thought he had a gun. autopsy results show jones was hit several times in the front of his body, not in the back as his family had claimed. police were responding to a domestic dispute call and say jones took off running after beating a woman. oscar grant was killed by former bart officer johannes mehserle at the fruitvale bart station new year's day 2009. a threat to blow up the bay

and police will always be looking for new ways to fight it. kiet do on a strategy emerging in the bay area fighting crime by the numbers. reporter: it's another busy night where police officers everywhere are doing more with less. here in santa cruz, the city's 90 cops handle on average 86,000 calls for service a year. but with police paycuts and possible layoffs, what this city needs is a new kind of crime fighter. >> by myself, i don't know a lot about fighting crime. >> reporter: meet dr. george moeller a wiry math professor. he is a leading researcher of predictive policing based on the police that crooks are just that, predictable. >> we are creatures of habit and that's what the crime data shows is that much of crime can be boiled down to routine

activities. >> reporter: moeller discovered the same algorithm seismologists use to predict aftershocks of earthquakes work pretty well to predict aftershocks of crime or aftercrimes. to test his theory he plugged in several years of old burglary data from los angeles into his model. he then compared his crime predictions to the crimes that happened and the results were promising. >> and it matched up? >> and it does quite a bit better than what people are currently using. >> reporter: now when a new burglary is reported, his model delivers a daily forecast of when and where an aftercrime is more likely to happen, the areas in red, down to specific street corners or neighborhoods. >> hopefully we can save police departments money and also improve their effectiveness at preventing crime, which is our ultimate goal. >> reporter: the santa cruz police department is now gathering pages of crime data to run through the model and will be the first in northern california to deploy officers

based on the forecasts. is this the future of policing? >> i think that this really is an important essential wave of policing that i can't see a situation where law enforcement agency budgets and size and personnel are going to be able to grow in the near future. >> reporter: will it work? we'll have to wait and see. but in this economy, it's all about catching more bad guys with fewer good guys. in santa cruz, kiet do, cbs 5. well, for the fabulous weather, roberta we are going to give you a "get out of jail free" card. >> how about that. then i'm going to be out of jail for at least a good let's say 7 to 10 days. wait until you see our extended forecast. but right now, let's check this out. it's our live cbs 5 weather camera atop our cbs 5 building in san francisco where currently we have an air temperature of 59 degrees and the skies are clear and they are crisp, as well. tonight, get out that extra blanket. number-wise dipping down to 35 degrees throughout the tri-

tremendous evidence that it's dangerous!!! >> reporter: dangerous because dr. swartzburg says raw milk may contain disease-causing pathogens, bad germs that pasteurization kills. >> if it's raw it's more susceptible to being contaminated than if it's passurized. >> reporter: whether you're for raw milk or against it, raw milk is at the center of a battle brewing for decades in california. and once again, it's heating up. as seen on this security camera footage in late june with guns drawn......... federal state and local authorities raided a private raw foods club in southern california. the target? bottles of unpasteurized unlabeled raw milk and blocks of raw cheese. the fda won't discuss the case saying it's an open investigation. but raw milk advocates say there is a bigger issue at stake, the freedom to choose what to eat or drink. even if public health experts say it's risky. >> i would say that if there

was going to be anything banned, it should be raw milk that's consumed just as milk. >> the choice should be mine. i don't understand why they are trying to do away with a food product. it's not a drug. this is milk we're talking about. >> reporter: adding fuel to the fire, a proposed new law that would give the fda new regulatory powers. >> the fda has been pushing for quite a while to have greater control over the food products that humans are consuming. >> reporter: raw milk foodies fear these new regulation will drive raw milk dairies out of business. >> we love our raw milk. don't mess with it. >> reporter: he owns one of the largest raw dairies in the nation one of only two licensed to do business in california. >> when you do it under california standards it's very safer. >> reporter: unlike some states in california it's legal to buy and sell raw milk. the dairies and the milk are inspected regularly. but bottles have to carry government warning labels that detail how the milk may contain

disease-causing microorganisms. if this new law passes -- >> there will be a raw milk uprising. >> reporter: christine fears it will make food less safer. >> if it makes it too hard for the raw dairies to produce milk i'll have to go get my raw milk on the black market. >> reporter: where she notes there is no regulation. now, in much of the country, raw milk is only available on the black market. under federal law it's illegal to transport this milk across state lines. california is one of just a few states where it's legal to be sold on the farm and in retail stores. that's true of every county instead of humboldt. >> i guess you could have your own cow. >> reporter: they are hoping to expand. that's one of the issues these new regulation would give the fda broader powers to expand t right now they have left it up to the states. they said okay you decide what's best in your state. >> all right. thank you. amid two ongoing wars, we have observe veterans day.

rangers have a bye week but

there is college football on saturday. >> the last heisman winner at stanford jim plunkett rookie of the year '71, won two super bowls with the raiders. there are a ton of implications on bay area football this weekend. stanford has a legit shot at a rose bowl. the cardinal 8-1 this season ranks six in the bcs standings. this could be andrew luck's final season before he heads off for the nfl draft where he would be the number one overall pick and scouts must cringe when they see him treat his body like this, jim harbaugh knows it's hard taming a beast. >> like a cheetah out there. and, you know, in the -- in africa he is chasing down, you know, gazelles and things like that. i mean, he has to run 50, 60 miles an hour and gets a little paw hurt and he is going to end up starving. so like a quarterback you don't

want him to break a finger or... >> how often does stanford root for cal? they are this weekend. they hope cal can knock off number one oregon. the last time the ducks played at memorial, it was pouring rain. and they got beat. >> probably one of the more soaked during a game, change my socks half dozen times. probably the worst conditions i played in. >> lake berkeley in the middle of the field. >> from the 30-yard line into a touchdown we were playing in 2 to 3" puddle and i remember guys at halftime going in and just sitting downed drenched wet. >> it won't be the case this weekend as roberta said. it will be a beautiful week end in cal. it will be a the bale of former heisman trophy winners at candlestick park with troy smith and rams quarterback sam bradford taking the field. bradford won the heisman two years after smith. but their paths to the nfl have been different. smith was the 174th overall pick in the draft. bradford was number one.

smith only started in four games, bradford all eight this season as a rookie. the rams are 4-4. regardless of the numbers, they share a very elite bond. >> yeah, you know, i think that's something that's pretty cool. you know, when you talk to me after the baltimore game that's how he introduced himself. he is like from one heisman winner to another. so i think that is a cool dynamic that we have going in this game. but i'm really not thinking much about it and i doubt he is, either. >> check out brown's defensive coordinator rob ryan certainly an animated coach to say the least. this weekend he goes up against his twin brother rex the head coach of the new york jets. rex arrived in the jets press conference impersonating his brother. >> first off -- >> rob, what do you think of your brother rex? >> i think he is a great coach, a great person, no question about that. just -- and very handsome. [ laughter ] >> rob, what happened to your gray hair? >> well, you know, i'm trying to get a head coaching job. so -- [ laughter ] >> dyeing it a little bit.

you know, looking young and all that kind of stuff. >> okay. great stuff. there is a view from washington high school where the eagles hosted galileo. quincy nelson number 5 rushed for over 350 yards in the game last month but he is injured today and without him lions had no chance. washington's gay lynn hall rushed for three touchdowns the eagles beating the defending city champions 55-13. washington is 6-1 in league. they will play next week in the city play-offs. meanwhile sticking we high school, clayton valley high school dominic mazza could drive a golf ball earlier than a car. he is in the driver's seat on the driving range. from an early age, dominic's mazza knew he had something special with a golf club in his hand. last week, he put his long drive skills on display for the world to see. >> off to a good start. >> reporter: the 16-year-old

placed second in the re/max world long drive championships in nevada. the kid bombed a drive 436 yards in qualifying and now is better than guys twice his age. >> just seeing them and knowing that they like 100 pounds more than me, and that they do this for a living and they practice all the time, it was pretty intimidating. >> anytime i tell anybody i make sure i say that, second in the world. [ laughter ] >> i make sure i throw that in because it sounds good. >> reporter: the diablo creek driving range is only 300 yards and could not hold mazza's distance. his balls were flying into a pond. and the yardage was anyone's guess. >> he has tremendous balance in his swing and i think that that's what will stand out when you watch him. you hear that? that thing it still in the air. i'll let you know they were comes down. >> reporter: along with a second place finish came with a $70,000 check weather he declined to remain an amateur

and. >> once i found out how much i would have won, it was hard because i wanted a car and stuff. >> he is only 16. two more years of high school, still needs to be a kid. >> reporter: his future is bright with a 2 handicap. he has the short game to back up the distance. >> i started on the first hole of the tournament up to the front of the green and two putted for my birdie and went to the next hole and i hit my drive chipped on the and putted for birdie again so i started out pretty good. >> by the way, the longes drive ever in this competition is 550 551yards. >> that's crazy. >> get all that $70,000 back if he goes to stanford. a four-year ride to play golf. >> see you at 10:00 and 11:00. feed me! saving you money -- now, that's progressive. call or click today.
