6:27 pm
the republicans are not looking good for being stubborn against these kinds of changes. and the schools are likely to l lose a lot of money they desperately need. >> thank you, larry. jessica, back to you. still ahead at 6:00, the sun is out and so are new guide lines involving sunscreen. changes to help you better understand what you're really buying and putting on your kids. also ahead, the moment maria shriver found out about arnold schwarzenegger's love child. what his former mistress is saying in her first interview. and top democratic leaders meet for the first time since the anthony weiner scandal broke. what they have decided to do now. and to recan you say or not wec ruling involving prop 8

6:48 pm
broken hand. right now giants are leading in the top of the first 1-0. pablo sandoval 1 for 1 with an rbi. what about the green and gold? you know that saying there's no place like home for new a's manager, bob melvin. tonight marks his first chance to manage in the bay area for a team he grew up watching. our kate longworth is live at the coliseum with more on melvin's homecoming tonight against the royals. kate. >> reporter: well, henry, i can tell you there is a new energy here as bob melvin takes over the reins for the a's, and it's certainly the excitement we felt here back on opening night. and for the bay area native, he said tonight will fall nothing short of special, as he suits up for the green and gold for the very first time here in oakland. >> you know, driving up here was terrific. i've been in this complex many, many times, whether it's baseball, basketball. and starting at a very young age. so being able to put on a white
6:49 pm
uniform here instead of a gray uniform and i must admit when i walked out today, i veered to the right for a second and realized i was going to the left. it was a good feeling. so any time you're able to come home in this type of capacity, it doesn't happen very often, and i understand the significance. >> any win is big right now. you know, no better time than right now to get his first win here at home and start the home stand off right. >> reporter: now, though, the a's are a season high 11 games under .500. melvin said oakland is not in need of rebuilding. he said this team is playing hard. they have just fallen short in a couple of key situations, so we'll certainly see how this home stand plays out. reporting live at the coliseum, i'm kate longworth for nbc bay area. thanks, kate. from the pros to the college ball where cal was back on the field today for their first practice as they prepare to take on number one seed, virginia, in the college world series in

6:51 pm
that could give cal the edge they need is team chemistry. as we saw with the giants last season, it was a vital role in their championship run. so with everything that they have been through so far this season, this team is closer than ever. reporting live from berkeley, i'm jamie sire for nbc bay area. now back to henry. >> great job, jamie. that will wrap it up. giants and a's highlights tonight at 11:00, raj and jessica, this is an incredible story with this cal baseball team. earlier this year they were on life support where they were alive and healthy and they're about to turn off the lights on some other teams. we're down to eight teams in the college world series. while we still have you here henry, i've known you about ten years and now you're doing comcast and nbc. welcome to the family. do you get two paychecks, is that how it works? i'm your agent. >> i wish it works that way. if you're willing to be my agent, we can definitely talk about it. for right now, i'll settle what

6:56 pm
show tonight. it's amazing how popular this show has become and again america has voted so tonight we lose four singers. america saved one from each team and judges save one from each team for team christina and team blake. it gets a little confusing, but the bottom line is some people go home tonight and some people will really be shining on stage. for nbc bay area news, i'm sara edwards from los angeles, back to you. >> well, you know, sara, we've got a girl here from the bay area who actually goes to school in l.a., that she's one of the finals. her name is lily elise so we're really rooting for her. did you hear any buzz about that. >> reporter: you know, i haven't heard any buzz specifically about her, but everybody looked really loose and fun. we saw her walk by. we saw all the contestants go by. you know what, they're just excited, that's what it's all about. they're all excited to be here because already their careers are taking off, no matter who wins. >> boy, they are. we've got to get on that voice, i'm telling you. we've got to come up with an act
