years that we'll look back at. >> your personal feelings? i imagine you got a sense of nostalgia? >> absolutely. >> sad? >> absolutely. you know, this was the last flight of "atlantis," i commanded the first flight. so it's something you really take to heart when you see the last flight of a vehicle that you put into service. >> nice touchdown, by the way. >> thank you. >> not your first rodeo. >> no. >> the "atlantis's" mission is finished in outer space but it has another one here back on terra firma. sight seeing attractions. soon it will be on display permanently for tourists to see at the kennedy space center. here in nasa ames, bob redell. >> a chance to look at history. thank you, bob. our coverage of "atlantis's" final landing continues at 6:15 when we'll have a live report from the kennedy space center. >> new this morning, fairfield

area, a mix of small businesses, nice homes and apartment complexes, in fact, we're about a mile from the rose garden. police say it was monday night about 9:00 when 26-year-old myra flores approached 3-year-old jasmine and her 14-year-old sister denise playing outside their apartment complex. flores tried to lure jasmine away by offering to buy her chocolate. her teenage sister knew better so she took her sister inside their second story apartment. you know what, flores actually followed them and forced her way inside. and tried snatching jasmine out of the arms of her mother convinced she was her own daughter. >> no, that's my baby and then she tried to grab her, yeah. and my mom tried to stop her and then like the lady was pushing her. after that they were like i called the police.

thomas hallerin was sentenced to two years probation for trying to get pills with a fake prescription. officers say he was allowed to remain on parole because the offense was not a violent one. hallerin gunned down a deputy tuesday morning before he was shot and eventually killed. >> we're ready for football. i think. but are you ready for a shared stadium? that could be the reality for raiders and 49ers fans in the years to come. christie smith is live in oakland this morning with more on the stadium plans. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. this is a really easy assignment. we just walked over the coliseum b.a.r.t. station to ask people about this and it was like open mike night. everyone had a very strong opinion about this. that nfl funding may be available for a new bay area stadium which would put pressure on for the raiders and the niners to share. that's right. 9ers fans and raiders fans sharing the same house despite a long time rivalry among the

fans. the back story is a new collective bargaining agreement between the nfl players and owners which needs to be signed may mean that stadium funding is there, both teams confirmed that they are talking about a joint stadium but there isn't an agreement on where that would be. the niners remain committed to santa clara and the city of oakland is talking about a new spot where the raiders already play. and here's how fan this is morning are taking the news. >> we get a new stadium, fine. i have no problem. >> as far as both fans in the same stadium together or trying to share, it would never work. >> why? >> i talked to both sides. to raider fans, 9er fans and just saying that we're going to sit in the stadium and share, we have the battle of the bay all the time it's not going to work. >> reporter: on our nbc bay area facebook page here's what viewers are saying about it. one person wrote, not if it means that the raiders come to

santa clara. another said i'm so against it. of course they wouldn't be there on the same day unless they are playing each other which is something that they already do. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, today in the bay. >> a house divided. divided face paint as well. 6:10 now. i think that face paint would melt off today. especially if you're inland. >> yeah. it's going to be another hot one. you saw that picture of the bay bridge behind laura. very, very little low cloud cover this morning. and as a result we're going to warm up nicely even in the city of san francisco. i've gone with the 80s, almost 5 to 10 degrees above average everywhere across the board. hot inland, low 80s near the coast. by the weekend temps cool down. this will bring about the on shore flow. we're looking at cloudy starts as early as tomorrow that will last through the weekend. then high pressure builds back in with a vengeance. we have really hot weather all

next week. 58 degrees right now in livermore. 65 in concord. 58 in san jose. on the way to 91 degrees in san jose today. if you're looking for cooler weather, the best time of the day will be about noon to 3:00 p.m. in the city of san francisco with mostly clear conditions. 89 in redwood city and 79 in santa cruz. the only area we're noticing the fog is on the golden gate bridge. everywhere else is good. we have about an hour to see if the fog starts to form. we'll watch that for you. someone is watching the roads, mike inouye. >> good morning. i depend on you to let me know what else we can't see. we're following that. livermore, we show a nice drive. you can see the slowing into livermore. i'm circling this spot that kicks off through central livermore. approaching airway. when that kicks off a tougher commute. 17 minutes for that drive. we know thattant wok is tough. 18 minutes on the l street sensor. that 55 continues to see speeds

dipping through bay point approaching 242. the maze is moving very smoothly. the sensors not a problem in the commute direction. no metering lights yet. probably in about 15 minutes. a look at oakland, an idea for the volume. the headlights northbound coming up toward the coliseum where christie is, o dot co, there is more work going on there. >> don't you think half and half face paint will be interesting? >> it will be. >> raider nation. >> 6:12 now. still to come on "today in the bay" muni has a new chief. we'll get you up to speed. and we're going to take you live to the kennedy space center where space shuttle "atlantis" landed for the final time. just a few hours ago. >> a beautiful view from san bruno mountain. look at that.

it's also a sad time for so many who dedicated so much of their lives to this over the last three decades. as they see this chapter in american space exploration come to a close and the uncertainty of what will come next. nasa will focus on deep space work but that won't be manned for sometime. they hope to encounter an asteroid and mars in the next 20 years but again, not manned flight. any of the low orbit man flight like the shuttle was involved with will come through private companies now. private industry, contractors are working to develop the next manned flights that can help take people back to the international space station from american soil. those are three to five years away. most agree it's on the five-year-end. there is a lot of uncertainty. on this day they focus on "atlantis," the program over the last 30 years and celebrate that. >> "today in the bay's" jay gray, thank you. >> thank you.

>> it's 6:17. public safety officials in san francisco will meet to discuss how to handle prisoners from the state. governor brown signed a law that transfers low level adult offenders to county jails. about 700 of those inmates and parolees are slated to come to san francisco's jail and probation programs. today the san francisco board of supervisors meet at city hall to plan how they will manage that transition. a while ago talking about san francisco's muni naming the new chief today. it's going to be ed rightskin. they heads the 311 program. going to have hot temperatures. i want to check in with meteorologist christina loren. >> hot, hot, hot. you can see the sun blazing over the bay. something we don't usually see because traditionally we're socked in with fog. this morning the sun is coming out. what we do have in terms of

[sfx: dinosaur growl] clark! anyway, here's what they'll need: markers, scissors, crayons, pencils, folders, juice boxes, pretzel sticks, glue sticks, tape that sticks, and glitter. so much glitter.

>> welcome back everyone. 6:23 on thursday morning. let's see how the morning commute is looking with mike. >> laura, we're going to check this out. timely because the chp report popped up a disabled vehicle at curtner. no more information than that report. i'll follow that. no slowing showing up now. you will have an issue for 101 right at tully road.

we have loads of gadgets that access the internet. >> is location, location, location, but stocks are all about timing, timing, timing. shares in zillow.com jumped to around $60 before settling around 35. almost 80% over its ipo price wednesday so. this is a matter of timing. people with early access to the stock made a fortune. others lost half their investment. yet, more pressure on apple as well. to do something with its cash. the company told reporters tuesday it has $76 billion in cash. i looked it up. that's the same as the gdp of peru, twice that of vietnam. the hope is of course that apple will find something to buy with that money, or, return to the investors in the form of a dividend. tech companies don't like giving out dividends. general motors gives out a

dividend, general electric, not cool companies. >> it's old school. >> it's old school. you don't see the younger guys doing that. apple is getting older. >> people don't mind the dividends. >> no. >> not at all. 6:26. still to come on "today in the bay," a community meeting on a deadly police shooting. gets heated in san francisco. and today, people will remember a professor killed in a bus accident. we've got lre up

later today. that is as high as the saffir-simpson scale goes. it's hooking to the northwest. if it does impact your travel we're going to see these outer bands brush across the southern section of the baja peninsula so check ahead. could make for rough surf. looks like the eye will continue to push off to the northwest and away from land. that's good news. 57 in livermore. 59 in san jose. and 56 degrees in santa cruz. a gorgeous beach day where you hit the beach. a lot of sunshine today. by noon, take a look at this. 81 degrees in sunnyvale. 87 degrees at noon in fairfield. you're on the way to about 96 degrees later on in the heat of the day in fairfield, concord and livermore. it's not going to last. the next couple of days temps fall to the low 80s saturday and sunday. and then next week looking much, much warmer. you want to keep that sun screen handy today. tomorrow morning we'll see so much cloud cover. it's going to be one of those

nice second half of the days in the city. back to you. >> thanks so much. 6:48 now. will the raiders and 49ers become roomies? a live report coming up next. >> you've seen fake products but how about entire fake store? we'll take a look. >> totally a slowdown. i told you about that full freeway closure. we'll check the commute coming up. >> check out our facebook page. check it out. if you like it if you haven't already. we'd love to hear omou

>> welcome back everyone. live look outside.

sun up and about already this morning as we take a look over san jose, hp pavilion. time to check the morning commute with mike. >> the metering lights have been turned on. some backup at the berkeley curve. also some slowing now as you pass by golden gate field and the 580, the merge off of the richmond/san rafael bridge. there is an issue over toward the richmond/san rafael bridge. we have a disabled truck. it sounds like it should be cleared quickly. watch that if that is your commute across to the north bay which is moving but there are low clouds in the area. we'll talk about that. we'll skip over the carquinez and benicia bridge. slowing through antioch, speeds below 10. and in the 30s through pittsburg heading to 242 which is slowing toward 680 and concord. we'll see the slowdown kick off. 680 and 24 interchange. a live look out there. we'll show you what things are like on the freeway.

passing the coliseum. no major issues but the volume kicking up as the sun's coming up on the right. and there the low clouds we're talking about. visibility is okay but as you pass through the north bay hills watch. you might get a spot or two of thicker fog. >> the nfl player lockout could end today. owners and players expected to hold separate votes on a ta tative agreement. they are meeting in atlanta this morning. they imposed walkout in march. since then both sides battled in courts and conference rooms. major issues said to be resolved so an agreement is expected today. the regular season is supposed to start on september 8. >> with that deal we're following developments out of oakland where plans to build a new football stadium in the bay area got a lot more complicated. christie smith is live with more on how two bay area teams could possibly be calling the same

stadium home. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura. dare i say it, the niners and the raiders sharing the same house? seems like everyone has an opinion on this. just a gut reaction. and fans on both sides, i'm surprised to say, don't think that this is the absolute worst thing that they heard of in their life. what's happening here is that a new collective bargaining agreement between nfl players and owners, it still needs signatures but it way provide funding for a new bay area stadium that the raiders and the niners might share. both teams are talking about a joint stadium. the 9ers remain committed to a santa clara facility. the city of oakland is talking about a stadium location near the coliseum where it is now. there still is no firm agreement. a 9ers fan told us who cares as long as there is a new stadium. another fan said her house is divided but they make it work. for others the idea is just

unthinkable. >> niners do their thing on their side, we do our thing on our side of the bay. it's just too much. that's like bringing two families together when you get married and hope they get along. it's not going to work. >> sometimes my cousins get crazy when the games come on. sometimes i rather walk out. it's never confrontation to where it gets ugly. >> who has the better tailgate party? >> raiders. raiders. >> and here's the sample this morning what we're hearing. one person wrote not if it means bringing the raiders to santa clara. another wrote simply i'm so against it. they wouldn't play the same day unless they play each other and they already do that now. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> you got to love how vocal people are being. thank you. >> it's 6:55. police in north texas having a hard time catching a bank robber even though they have seen a face caught on camera.

notice i said a face, not his face. look at this. the robber wears an $800 life-like mask. it's called the handsome guy mask. police have dubbed the man the handsome guy robber. the mask moves and feels like real skin. >> it's hard to tell that there is a person underneath it and it's not the person's face. >> wasn't even that guy's real face. the only thing police are noting is that he has really large shoulders. interesting. >> there's animators in taiwan that like to give their take on world events. they immortalized what happened at rupert murdoch's hearing. did you see it? here's what happened a. protester came at murdoch with a shaving cream pie. his wife dives in. you saw her in the pink. here is a take on the incident from news animators in taiwan.

knocks the pie away, the protesters cower on the ground. and then she turns into a tiger, bites him on the leg. like a true wife would. it's 6:57. what have you got? >> good morning. i love that they animate something that actually happened. wall street, worse than expected jobless claims. the dow is ignoring that up 60 points. intel about 2% lower. zillow up about 7%. we're talking about this earlier. take a look at these photographs posted to a blog. looks like an apple store. this is a fake apple store in china. you can see these pictures at birdabroad.com. a fake store. >> how can they pull it off? >> they could until some blogger caught them. the kids look so real. >> amazing. thanks for joining us this morning.
