but not everyone is coming back to this campus. details ahead. and after a stellar weekend, we've got rain in the forecast this week. i'll let you know when you're breaking out that umbrella and how long you'll be using it for coming up in weather. and we do have another issue. the disabled vehicle this time 580 getting off of that richmond san rafael bridge. i'll let you know how it affects your flow coming up. and a flag flapping in the light breeze this morning. this is a live look at looks like a foggy san francisco, monday, april 23rd, this is "today in the bay." >> good monday morning, everybody. thank you very much for joining us, it is 5:00 on the nose, i'm john kelley. >> and i'm marla tellez in for laura garcia-cannon. it is a big day for ross mirkarimi has he takes another step toward getting his job back. a look at today's ethics

commission hearing. christie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, marla. well, ross mirkarimi tried to get this resolved in the courtroom to get his job back as san francisco sheriff. but a judge didn't agree with the arguments he was presenting. so now the whole thing heads here to san francisco city hall where it will go before an ethics commission, which will begin by trying to figure out the whole process and protocol for this hearing that starts at 4:30 this afternoon. mirkarimi was only sworn in in early january days after an altercation with his wife. he pleaded guilty to a domestic violence intervention class. but ed lee stepped in to suspend him without pay. the plan initially calls for written briefs from both sides and then later it could include testimony for the whole thing could take weeks. earlier, mirkarimi's attorney told us it seems kind of vague. >> you could have this ethics commission composed of these

particular members, decide these are the rules we're going to play by for this hearing. five years down the road, in separate removal proceedings for somebody else, it could be complete lip different rules. that just shows you there are no standards for this proceeding and that it's fundamentally unfair. >> now, the commission is made up of five members. it sends its recommendation to the board of supervisors who will then decide if mirkarimi will keep his job. 9 out of 11 members would have to agree. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." new this morning, a very brave gas station employee going above and beyond the call of duty wrestling away a gun from a would be robber. police say just before 10:00 last night, a woman walked into the station near the coliseum and witnesses say she pointed a gun at the cashier and said give me your money and threatened to shoot. a customer who doesn't want to be identified says the employee

grabbed the woman, forced her out the door and managed to grab the gun in the process. the suspect took off. >> he's very brave. i felt he was an angel sent. i've never been in that type of situation before. i thank god he did what he did. >> and this morning, police right now on the lookout for that suspect. we are told, fortunately, nobody was hurt. new this morning, a horrifying accident overnight in the east bay. but incredibly the driver's going to jail, not to the hospital. take a look at this video coming into our newsroom. an suv slamming into a concrete divider on southbound 880 in oakland near the broadway exit. happened about 3:00 this morning. and as you can see here, burst into flames. it came very close to tumbling off the highway and down a 40-foot drop. now here's the thing, can you believe it? the driver was only slightly hurt. he told police he was cut off by another driver. no other cars were involved, and the driver is being held on

suspicion of drunk driving charges. just a few hours from now, students returning to classes at oikos university in oakland. if you recall, it was three weeks ago today a gunman went on a rampage killing six students and a staffer on the campus. details on wihy some students won't be back. >> reporter: good morning, john. there are plenty of reminders as we push into the front entrance, there's still plenty of bouquets of flowers, wreaths, memorial banners, paying tribute to the victims. not all students are coming back to this campus. one student who survived after being shot in the arm, she told a local newspaper she was not going to return to class. if she had to be back in this building. one goh allegedly shot and killed six students and one staff member. a neuropsychologist who specializes in treating trauma says most of the 100 students

have been suffering some level of post-traumatic stress by replaying the events of that day over and over again. >> the bottom line is they have to move on and make new associations with that university. and the more time that's put between the shooting and their new associations, the more comfortable they're likely to feel. >> again, it's only been three weeks since that shooting. the president of oikos says there should be a bigger group of students coming back here to the campus tomorrow morning for an open house type of event. once again, though, we are not talking about the nursing students. they are set to go to fremont's unitech college campus to resume classes there. as for the suspect, he may enter a plea as early as april 30th. it's 5:05, pg & e is fighting a lawsuit by the survivors of the explosions of a payout that could reach billions

problem. mike and i have our eyes peeled. the rain is slated to return this week and we're expecting quite a bit of it. we'll talk about when that's slated to arrive. as you can see here, another gorgeous day. 69 degrees at 4:00 p.m. inland, by the bay, 65, touch cooler at the coast today, 4:00 p.m., 63 degrees. your seven-day forecast in my next report. let's check that drive on monday. >> we're going to check on that disabled vehicle we heard about just off that richmond bridge. well, it's eastbound 580, the marina bay parkway off ramp. updates from chp as they arrive, it is the off ramp as the lane blocked by this. the other lane is open. traffic flows smooth on to the bridge. further south, this is the car fire. yeah, the car fire is out southbound 880 right around broadway or 7th. guardrail damage, likely later on in the day, there may be crews out there to do the repair work. keep that in mind, but a smooth drive so far as that has

cleared. we've cleared the disabled truck off the lower bay bridge, but that is still there. the gusty winds, it's reason for a wind advisory, as well. keep that in mind for the bay bridge and likely the san mateo bridge, as well. eastbound 580 at 680, that car fire is out, but still activity there as you're approaching the dublin interchange, but no slowing there or in your commute direction. back to you. >> thanks for the update, mike. well, the mission is protecting kids from the dangers that lurk online. that's what police in fremont hope to do later on today. teams and parents invited to a seminar on cyber bullies and digital safety. police say the internet and technology have evolved, so have the means to abuse them. the free seminar is set from 6:00 to 8:00 tonight. that is at washington hospital on mowry avenue. getting a workout at the office. how one company is using

because everyone deserves a lifetime. welcome back. here's a live look at the embarcadero in san francisco. looks like a ghost town so early in the morning. it is 5:12. over the weekend, french voters making it loud and clear, they do not support the current president. scott mcgrew says the french

revolution could have serious effects on europe's recovery. >> who would've ever thought we'd be following french politics so closely. europe is america's biggest trading partner. it's in extreme danger of major recession. and the decision french voters make will have a real effect on the country, the continent, and eventually perhaps even us. president nicholas sarkozy did not get enough votes over the weekend to prevent a runoff. it's possible he'll lose to this man. holla holland. holland rejects most of the plan put in place by germany and france to save the european economy. france and germany have been pushing their neighbors for austerity. cut programs, reduce pension, and it's pretty clear if sarkozy loses in france, that plan will collapse and then you have france and germany on opposite sides of a major issue. also over the weekend, the international monetary fond and the world bank pledged hundreds of billions of more euros in support of europe if europe continues on that path of

austerity. there is concern that spain could face bankruptcy and there are not enough euros in the bank to bail that country out. meanwhile, here in america, for news before the bell, let's talk to jackie from cnbc world headquarters. good morning, jackie. >> good morning to you, scott. well, the futures are down sharply this morning. following some disappointing economic data out of europe. manufacturing activity is slowing down across the pond, which is renewing recession fears over here. european and asian markets are in the red today. there's no economic data today in the u.s., but it's a busy week ahead with reports on housing, consumer confidence, and first quarter gdp. also a heavy week for earnings. all set to report. on friday, we saw the dow closing up 65 points to 13,029, snapping the two-week losing streak, the nasdaq falling seven points to 3,000. meantime, companies may be ready to step up hiring. a new survey finding that 39% are expecting hiring to pick up

in the next six months, that's up from 27% feeling that way in january. higher demand for workers may also lead to bigger paychecks. 44% of companies say that wages are rising. but the class of 2012, however, may have a harder time getting a job than they expected. government data showing that half of young college grads are unemployed or under employed. there's strong demand in science, education, and health, but not arts and humanities. average wages for bachelor degrees are down in the past decade. that's a mixture of good news and bad news there. guys, back over to you. >> thank you much. and also john and marla, a new ipo to talk about. netflix is going to report after the bell. we'll talk about that coming up. >> another ipo. all right. >> that time of year, isn't it spring has sprung in the tech and business market. >> was this one of the warmest weekends in a while? >> saturday was the hottest day of the year so far. >> and we spent part of it together. >> yes, we did, marla and i were dancing.

wait till i post that video, marla. it's going up. 57 in oakland, 59 in sunnyvale, good morning to you. you're waking up, getting ready for the new week. trying to pick out an outfit for today. think spring today, think spring tomorrow, then you're going to think winter as we head through wednesday and thursday. a mean system on the way. especially when you consider the fact it's going to bring our temperatures back into the 50s right by the bay. cooler weather on the way. you'll get two days of 70s before we hit that cooler weather. wind out of the west/southwest at 22 miles per hour in fairfield. what's happening is high pressure that kept our forecast nice and sunny over the weekend is now moving off to the east allowing for more of that onshore flow. that's what cooled us off yesterday. we had the low clouds hugging the coast. today, marine layer's going to push inland. we're going to be about 5 to 8 degrees cooler than we were yesterday. and the showers arrive. a little bit of activity tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m. we're not expecting the bulk of the moisture from the next system to push through until

late wednesday into thursday. and looks like thursday will be a washout for your outdoor plans. keep that in mind. we'll be here to guide you. mike and i already have a handle on this system. thursday a washout, clearing you out, nice air quality. and the other positive benefit about all these showers coming through is we're going to have a much lower pollen count once all that particulate matter -- saturday and sunday warming you back up into the 80s, inland, sunday, 80 degrees. let's check your drive at 5:17 with mike. >> glad to hear that. particulate matter, lay it down. reports of some sort of traffic hazard from chp. what that typically means is that some debris of some sort or there's a disabled vehicle. i'm waiting for the update to come in. southbound 17 at hamilton. note if you're heading down south in towards 17, we have a smooth drive at northbound for those commute routes throughout the rest of the south bay and not a problem. let's get a live look.

our camera man -- won't let me out of the road here. the volume picks up just a tad bit, these folks making their way at the onramp with no metering lights. southbound side, very light volume by the tully road. smooth drive continuing along the lower bay shore. dumbarton, no overnight construction, and 192, nice smooth drive, as well. watch the high-rise here and may be gusts of winds from time to time. bay bridge has a wind advisory. and that is a possibility. over on the other side of the bay, a smooth drive northbound, 880, picking up the volume a bit in both directions. southbound, no problems, and smooth coming off of that castro valley y. >> thank you, mike. 5:18 now. welcome news for drivers today. gas prices are dropping. nationally, prices fell more than 5 cents a gallon over the past two weeks according to the

lundburg survey. now in the past week here in the bay area, gas prices have dropped about 3 cents. oakland is at $4.16, san jose, $4.17, and san francisco, $4.28. >> it's bad if we're celebrating when we're around $4.30 a gallon. it is 5:19 right now. coming up, the boom heard through the central valley. the noise that shocked residents from california to nevada. how an office is taking a stand literally to keep employees fit and focused at work. ♪

san jose, a little traffic flowing out there. mike will tell us about the roads, christina will fill you in on the skies and the weather, it's 5:22. i'm sure you've heard, do you have a case of the mondays. how about the cubical blues. why not try walking while you work at your desk. there's growing trend to get office workers up and at them. blue cross in boston has several walk stations, basically treadmills with computers and phones. workers can sign up for one-hour shifts. blue cross says the employees are more productive, engaged, and active. >> we are seeing people walking up and down the stairwells and not taking the elevator much more so than they have in the past. >> those of you wondering if this is really necessary, consider this, in 1960, almost half of all american jobs required some sort of moderate physical activity. today, it's less than 20%. >> we've got a little treadmill under here so my feet are

working. research done by walgreens shows nearly half of adults are unaware of recommended vaccines for their age groups. seniors should get a pneumonia vaccine, chickenpox could return in a form of painful shingles. there is medication to help reduce its severity. whooping cough on the rise due to parents not receiving the necessary booster shots. and people should also get diphtheria and tetanus shots every ten years. 5:23. good morning to you. it was a little bit too warm for me to run outside. i was on a treadmill this weekend. >> is that right? >> yeah, it's too hot. >> i like the way -- >> you know it's hot when marla's on a treadmill. that's my barometer. she's right, though. she's smart because anybody who did spend any duration of time outdoors, you were actually subjected to potential heat exhaustion. it was warm enough for that around the weekend. and temperatures really came down yesterday from the highs on saturday. we broke records across the bay

area. yesterday's highs, low 80s, today we're talking about the low to mid-70s. and this morning, starting out nice and mild. we do have a bit of a windchill factor out there because in addition to the cool conditions, winds are sustained at 22 miles per hour in fairfield. so winds will be a factor this morning and this afternoon. calming down by this evening. highs today, 75 degrees in livermore, 72 for san jose and 64 degrees in san francisco where you'll have cloudy conditions for the most part today. that marine layer is back. i'll let you know when you'll be breaking out that umbrella how many days this week you'll be using it. that's your clue. let's check your drive with mike. >> we'll look at the south bay again. couple of things to point out. we have blips showing up with the yellow. speeds dipping down below 40. that's likely an adjustment as more cars hit the roadway and it's taking time to recalculate. we'll track those issues. this debris southbound or whatever hazard was there, southbound 17 at hamilton has

cleared. we'll get you a live look at the san mateo bridge. a smooth drive here and no wind advisories set for this bridge itself. but watch the high-rise. i just decided to take a look at the cameras since we talked about it and it is holding steady with an easy drive, as well, guys. back to you. >> thanks. well, experts now say a bright light and loud explosion that rattled parts of california and nevada were likely caused by a meteor shower. the sound of a loud boom yesterday morning prompted a flood of calls to 911. the explosion rattled windows and shook homes from sacramento to bakersfield. some people even reported seeing a fire ball streak across the sky at the same time. >> there was just a really low rumble that started getting louder and louder and louder like a rocket taking off, then it finally started shaking the house and everything. >> probably scares chickens too. >> yeah, what was that? >> i think it was roosters. >> experts say the meteor likely broke up above earth somewhere over the sierra southwest of reno.

>> and that's one of those things that would be cool and freaky all at the same time. >> yeah, i'm sorry i missed it. >> maybe next time. it is 5:26 right now. still to come on "today in the bay," a road closure that could change your drive in san francisco. >> how students are feeling about the reopening of oikos university. and we'll talk about the famo could soon get occupied. one guess. ncould soon get occup. one gues ♪

"today in the bay" is live with

more on the changes on campus that students can expect. stephanie, good morning. >> reporter: marla, good morning to you. not all the students will be coming back here to the oakland campus. the nursing students are headed to a fremont campus that really when we're here we can't really imagine how the students are feeling. those who are headed back here. you see there are still flowers, memorial banners. even the pictures of the seven people, six students and one staff member who lost their lives here just a little over three weeks ago. now, the school president says that classes do resume today adding that there may be a bigger group of students here tomorrow for an open house type of event. back in this building where former student one goh shot and killed seven people. we spoke with a neuropsychologist who says it's likely the majority of the 100 or so students have been suffering some level of post-traumatic stress. >> it's a terrible tragedy. this man is now locked up. it's not likely to happen again,

but that doesn't stop the emotional seed from replaying the event. >> reporter: one student who survived after being shot in the arm. she told a local newspaper she was not going to be coming back to classes if she had to be back in this building. and again, those nursing students will not have to come back here. they are set to go to unitech college in fremont. as for the suspect one goh, he is due back in court just a week from today where he may enter a plea. live in oakland this morning, "today in the bay." well, the next step starts today in suspended sheriff mirkarimi to get his job back. live from san francisco with a look at today's ethics commission meeting. good morning, christie. >> reporter: good morning, john. ross mirkarimi had been trying to get his job back through the court system, but a judge didn't agree with his argument. so now the efforts to oust him from office move to city hall with an ethics commission hearing that is scheduled to start at 4:30 this afternoon.

but it's not expected to be very dramatic, at least in the start. instead, the commission will begin by trying to figure out the whole process and protocol for this. there was only one other misconduct hearing that they handled, and that was in 2007 for former supervisor, and that wasn't completed because he resigned after the opening session. he was convicted of extorting bribes. ed lee suspended mirkarimi without pay after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of unlawful imprisonment for an altercation he had with his wife. this hearing allows the city opening briefs with evidence coming a week later and then mirkari mirkarimi's response will come two weeks later and then the city has a chance to reply to that. the tentative plan calls for written briefs and then possibly witnesses and testimony. the commission, what they do is look at all the facts here and then they make a recommendation to the board of supervisors who will ultimately decide whether

or not he gets to keep his job. reporting live in san francisco, "today in the bay." a man fighting for his life after a home invasion/robbery attempt over the weekend. two armed men entered a house on donna maria way near west 3rd street on friday night demanding money and marijuana. and during that struggle, the 23-year-old resident was shot and critically injured. both robbers got away. a reward right now is being offered for information leading to an arrest. occupy protesters threatening to shut down the golden gate bridge next month. the unions planning to picket may 1st to protest contract negotiations with the bridge district. if any of those unions do go on strike, the occupy movement says it will shut down the bridge in a show of solidarity. the bridge district is already warning commuters that could lead to some serious traffic delays. 5:33, a very warm weekend is prompting a reminder for pet owners. the spca is asking people not to leave their animals inside

locked cars. they say an open window or parking in the shade is not enough to prevent the possibility of brain damage and heatstroke. the best advice if you find your pet suffering from the excessive heat is apply cold water or ice packs to the animal's head and body. >> christina loren, a big-time animal advocate. she is i'm sure onboard helping out those furry little friends. >> yeah, always got to think of them this time of year. and not because of the heat. you don't want to leave them in the car obviously, but it's also pet season as it gets warmer. you know you've got to prevent those illnesses. so make sure you get the medicine. 57 degrees in oakland, it's warm enough out there already for a nice spring-like day to develop. even though we're going to have mostly cloudy conditions today, sun will be limited just about all day long. but it's starting out so mild out there. and enough breaks within those clouds to warm us up to 64 degrees by noon and 69 degrees at 4:00 p.m. holding on to the mid-60s by the

live look shows you the golden gate bridge and a smooth flow of traffic. a little glow of the lights, but you can see all the way across the span and no delays south from san rafael into the city, folks. back to you. >> thanks. well, there is rain in the forecast. but at least the giants are out of town most of this week. which means crews expect to get started on resurfacing part of the bridge near at&t park. the northbound lanes will be closed this week so crews can apply an anti-skid coating to the bridge. the closure was supposed to happen earlier this month. the northbound closure will begin this morning and run through friday. >> speaking of rain, the giants got rained out of new york. >> yeah, against the mets. >> push it up and it'll be today. still ahead, tackling challenges one step at a time. how one east bay man is reaching out to others through running. the man charged with the murder of a florida teenager is a free man this morning. george zimmerman's release

"today in the bay's" brian mooar is live on capitol hill this morning with more on this heated

debate. good morning. >> reporter: yeah, marla, this is going to come as a shock, another controversy, another reason for gridlock here on capitol hill. the focus is cyber security. and a bill coming up this week in the u.s. house. it is called the cyber intelligence sharing and protection act which would encourage companies to bolster their security and share information with the government. but would not make those disclosures mandatory. that would be mandatory if a senate bill passes. the senate bill sponsored by joe liberman of connecticut, an independent and susan collins of maine, a sort of moderate republican is being backed by the white house because it would mandate stronger security and more -- more cooperation with the department of homeland security in rebuffing cyber crimes. the idea here is the -- the white house says there is a very real threat right now. not just of cyber threat from

countries like china and russia, but also cyber terrorism. perhaps a tax on electrical grids or water supplies, so the white house says this is necessary. but republicans on the hill and in the house who say the last thing this economy needs right now, the last thing businesses want is another layer of responsibility reporting to uncle sam. marla? >> okay, brian. we'll have to see where this goes from here. thank you. in arizona, the search continues for a missing 6-year-old girl. a candle light vigil was held for the girl. she was last seen friday after being put to bed. her parents found her missing the following morning. police say they found a possible entry point in their home. congressional committees want to dig deeper into that secret service prostitution scandal. the senate homeland security committee wants to find out if what went on in colombia was an exception or pattern of

misconduct. the house homeland security committee has sent a list of 50 specific questions to the director of the secret service. they include a request for a comprehensive minute-by-minute time line. >> obviously nobody believes something with 11 or 12 people involved couldn't have happened before. >> they ought to be conducting their own internal investigation of white house personnel who were there. >> senior administration officials and the secret service insist there is no evidence that implicates white house staff. it is 5:43 right now, and word on the street was i was out of town this weekend. but word is it was a scorcher this weekend and we needed rain to cool us down. >> the heat is on. it's on the street. >> no, i thought you were going to talk about the event you missed this weekend. >> i wasn't going to talk about it. but i heard it was great. congratulations to these two and the team. >> he's the one that got us dancing. by the way, that video of marla

show you it's going to be a cloudy day especially at the coast. sunshine in the east bay and south bay and that's why temperatures will be the warmest in the region. 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, shower activity along the coastline. tomorrow, though, looks overall rather dry. we'll get that onshore flow in the morning and a nice dry day. and then the rain arrives as of noon on wednesday. we're talking about this steady rain. and that'll last through the first part of thursday. thursday looks like a washout. still, if you're trying to make the outdoor plans this week. monday, tuesday looks good, friday looks good, as well. 74 degrees in los gatos, there's that rain, we lose it by friday. and then the 80s return for the second half of the weekend with lots of sunshine, as well. let's check your drive with mike at 5:45. folks, we do have a new disabled vehicle to report, a new old vehicle. i heard the same report northbound 880. same area. just a little north of there. reportedly in the center divide, but chp -- no slowing through

fremont and newark or union city, though. we're looking to the south of there and whether we're going to have a smooth drive. northbound commute routes registering close to the limit. 87 and 101 have cleared but the volume is increasing. we'll check on that again to see how that develops. we do have no more issue here at the marina bay parkway off ramp. that was blocking part of the off ramp, that's completely cleared. the oakland coliseum area looks really nice, northbound past the coliseum, the southbound side also moves smoothly. and no problems, although there is a wind advisory which is still in place for the bay bridge. keep that in mind, folks. and early slowing through livermore continues. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. 5:46 now. an east bay runner has tupushed

home, can't afford a pair of running shoes, i can give them to you. i find the means to give them to you. and i believe shoes are a steppingstone in our life. every step you take gets us to a new place. >> reporter: at the age of 37, he is now older than his father was when he was killed. his hope is that his foundation will eventually inspire his own son 18-month-old gabriel to use his voice and inspire others to find theirs. >> i'm losing my father at the age of 11. it was one of the toughest things in my life. and now that i have my son, i can live the life that i could not live with my father. what i'd like him to gain from my experience is that no matter who you are, we all have a story to share. >> "today in the bay." >> and running shoes are so expensive these days. so he's doing a great thing.

organizers say this year's attendance at the full circle farm earth day event on sunday topped 5,000. that is the highest since it first began. the farm teamed up with the sunnyvale chamber of commerce to put on the free weekend event which were meant to get the community involved to understand food production. >> what we're really doing for the local economy is helping dollars stay here locally as well as not having to travel so far for our food. for example, the average carrot travels 1,800 miles to get to your plate. that's a lot of carbon and gasoline and energy and expense. >> out of reach -- >> and there she is, our own nbc bay area's kris sanchez. and seeing yesterday's event, produce grows year round and is self-sustaining. it sells what it grows three days a week at a farm stand. another bay area company will ipo this week. scott mcgrew joins us. big week last week, as well. i can't keep track of all of the ipos. >> yeah, three new offerings

first private company to send a spacecraft to the iss. now, it was just two years ago, space x became the first private company to send something -- again, unmanned, up into orbit and bring it down safely to earth. so the privatization of space and it's happening right here in california. pretty cool. >> that is mind-blowing. >> yeah, i'm curious. are they doing this just for the fun of it? >> well, they hope to get a nasa contract. yeah, absolutely. somebody's got to bring the food and stuff to the iss. nasa has been scaling back and space x thinks it can do it. >> nice. good for them. >> i like it. 5:54 right now. let's check in with christina loren. you've been teasing us. might need an umbrella later this week. >> you will need the umbrella later on this week. we've got a lot of rain on the way. and it's going to come down over the course of about 36 hours. so we're going to be in the woods over the course of late wednesday and pretty much all of thursday. you want to keep that in mind for when it comes to making the outdoor plans this weekend.

55 degrees in san jose as we head throughout the second half of the day, up to 68 degrees by noon in livermore and then we'll round out the day in the mid 70s in the warmest cities across the bay. as of tomorrow morning, we could be tracking some showers on the radar. we'll talk about when, how much rain we're expecting when the bulk of the moisture comes through when that storm system arrives. that's coming up in the next report. first let's check your drive at 5:55 with mike. northbound 101, just got reports of a stalled vehicle, a disabled vehicle i should say. a northbound 101 right around san antonio road and we have maybe your fast lane partially blocked. stay over to your right as you're passing northbound. the southbound side is fine coming out of palo alto. heading into the south bay, things are moving northbound. that's where it's building, the circle north of 680. the volume really picking up with those headlights northbound under that 680 interchange.

and you can see quite a steady stream of the headlights and that's the reason for slowing here up toward 880 and the interchange. we're getting over to the east bay, as well, as we're showing slowing for highway 4. the speeds really coming down and below 15 miles per hour now for your stretch over toward leverage. then it's an easy drive through bay point. >> thank you. because we have creative and clever writers. this is what we call stepping it up a notch. >> a super size nacho snack setting records this morning. a 4,689 pound serving of nachos. too bad it's not appetizing to the eye. the massive meal set a new guinness world record for the biggest plate of nachos. the serving measured 80 feet in length and was 10 inches deep. i wonder how much cheese they use. >> yeah, way too much. big congratulations to everybody out there, but i mean, the biggest plate of nachos world
