"today in the bay's" marla

tellez at the headquarters with more on the upcoming ipo. good morning, marla. >> good morning, jon. facebook's ipo is set to happen at the end of next week. ahead of that, it is a nine-day road show that starts today. hitting the road to try and make their pitch to investors as to why they should invest, why they should buy facebook stock. now ahead of this ceo mark zuckerburg put out this 31-minute pitch video titled the facebook road show movie. you can find it online. i watched it today. it includes the cfo, the vp of product, and of course zuckerburg himself. take a listen. >> most companies are getting started can rely on facebook and know that the vast majority of their users are going to be on facebook and have their connections there already. and that enables a huge amount of innovation to be unlocked.

>>reporte >> reporter: now this right here is something you would expect from facebook, this online pitch. what's interesting is the road show element which embraces good old-fashioned door-to-door networking. according to the "new york times," the road show will include stops in new york, boston, chicago, baltimore, los angeles, and, of course, right here in our own backyard, san francisco. the ipo stock price is expected between $28 and $35. scott mcgrew is also following this story and we know that ipo stands for public. but not as much as you think. >> yeah, when we say initial public offering we mean the bankers. not the people connected to facebook. they aren't your average mom and pop. the average american makes his first purchase after the ipo in the first day of actual trading. check your calendar. if you have a meeting with mark zuckerburg this week, you're part of the lucky first group.

if you're part of the second, the group that buys on the open market, the question becomes whether or not you should invest. i don't give investment advice, but it's hard not to look back at some of the ipos of the past and hope we're seeing it again. let's take a look. apple ipoed at $2.75 adjusted. today it was worth or friday it was worth $565. google ipoed at $85 a share, friday's closing price, $596. even linkedin ipoed at $15. by nancy miller, jon and laura, it's in the kindle bookstore, it's an ebook you can only buy it for your kindle reader or ipad, but it walks you through investment advice. it's good stuff. nancy miller again. >> thank you very much, scott.

sympathetic to the gay community who are looking for hope. and if nothing else, it sort of emphasizes there's a difference between the two. between obama administration and the republicans and governor romney. >> we will point out that biden did preface his comments saying the president sets the policy and his opinion does not mean the president now supports it, as well. 5:05. san jose police are celebrating the end of cinco de mayo festivities. all in all, a relatively calm weekend compared to years past. it doesn't mean that everyone stayed out of trouble. 39 people were arrested on a variety of charges ranging from public intoxication to possession of deadly weapons. 12 juveniles who were out past curfew were also taken in to custody. 67 traffic citations were handed out when cars cruising through the down town area snarled traffic. this morning, 76 guns are now off the streets in east palo

>> look at "star wars" and where it's at now 25, 30 years later. i think the possibilities are endless. and it brings a tax base to boot. hopefully they make it here. >> now, they may have a little bit of an edge because the city's economic development manager once helped pixar to move to emeryville in 2000. city leaders haven't spoken with film executives about exactly what they want in a site. other cities have reached out too includining vallejo. reporting live in walnut creek, "today in the bay." looks like the weather force going to be with us all week long. >> if you work indoors with air-conditioning, it will be with you. if you work outside, you want to hydrate all day today. temperatures maxing out in the 90s. now, what i can tell you, peak warmth today, we're going to gradually decrease your temperatures as we head

independent board members, and according to the "wall street journal," he is leading the investigation into what happened at yahoo, why yahoo not only claimed thompson had a computer science degree, but put that filing made to the government and then thompson signed off on those documents. now, the other thing we need to talk about are the elections in europe. here you see voters in greece voting on sunday. they have kicked out their government, the one that was working with germany to stabilize the euro. and then in france, a socialist one. there he is. holland has kicked out the president of france sarkozy. they'll go into august elections with this man in charge. this is absolutely a slap in the face at germany and its attempt to stabilize the euro. that has a lot of people worried on wall street. let's check in with jackie at cnbc. good morning. >> good morning, scott.

summer than early spring. tuesday, warm and breezy, going to cool you off just a touch. and tomorrow as we get a little more of an onshore flow, that's good news people suffering from allergies because we have a high pollen count just about every day, as well. we're going to get a little bit better off in this department as we head through this upcoming weekend with more of an onshore flow. you want to keep that in mind. if you have been suffering from allergie allergies, you want to keep that medicine handy. yes, it's going to be a factor this week. 88 degrees, that time of the year. and 90 in los gatos, feeling more like summer through today, tomorrow, touch cooler, keeping that sunshine fully in effect all the way throughout this week. we'll get a little bit more cloud cover friday into saturday. a little bit more stable atmosphere. those winds will relax, but we will be dealing with a lower pollen count. beautiful shot to show you coming up. >> hey, folks, we'll start with the map. the approach to the bay bridge,

the construction through lafayette. let me give you a peek at the poll plaza itself. and we'll see the volume of traffic toward the bay bridge. toll plaza, steady increase in the traffic flow, and look, we see some slowing now for these cash lanes on either side of the fast track. the volume building for the east shore freeway, as well. we'll likely see the metering lights turn on in about 20 minutes. keep track of this. back to the maps, you saw the lighter volume and the smooth drive down the east shore freeway. lafayette is not a problem and they should have the construction cleared up towards 680 over the next 20 minutes. it should be completely cleared. right here, this will not clear. highway 4 jams up, speeds in the 20s as you approach 6:00 all the way through antioch holding steady at the limit through pittsburgh and bay point. pretty typical pattern. as well as coming out of the altamont pass, 580, 17-minute drive slowing into livermore. you're okay through and then bogging down the area on isabel and interchange, that dublin interchange, the construction

starts. 680 move through sunol, it was tough last week and the same this week. the northbound routes for the south bay moving just fine. this accident southbound 101 at moffett, chp arriving on scene, it was the motorcycle down, no injuries reported and it's in the center divide. we haven't seen any slowing yet. southbound side, the accident scene is still there, still waiting for two flat bed tow trucks to remove a couple of cars there. no people injured. well, the giants figuring out a very festive way to celebrate willie mayes' birthday as they blow out the candles on the milwaukee brewers. to count the candles, i think he's only like 7 years old. at&t park, giants up, 2-1 the fourth, bangs out a double and two batters later, it's ryan, that single brings pagan home,

and giants leading 3-2, trying to seal this one up, but the brewers step up and answer themselves. they tie the ball game at three, that means the ball game's going to extra innings. bottom of the 11th, bases loaded, hector sanchez at the plate. yeah, that's money. and that's ball game, ladies and gentlemen, that brings home emmanuel burress, giants win it 4-3, they take the series by a 2-1 finale. meantime, the a's trying to return home with a series win down 4-0 in the third against the rays. pennington scores giving the a's their first run. and later on, it's now 4-2. steps up and takes one out of the yard, that's a 3-1 homer, a's take it. they go on to roll. they win it 9-5. >> time to party. >> 5:49 right now. coming up "the avengers" taking over the silver screen. the record-breaking performance at the box office next.

welcome back, everybody. that's a live look at the embarcadero in san francisco. gorgeous morning. >> we knew this movie was going to be huge, and now a team effort hammering on harry potter on the silver screen. >> poor harry. well, "the avengers" taking in more than $200 million over the weekend.

they beat the mark set by harry potter's finale and also pulled in $415 million worldwide last week. pretty penny. >> not a bad start. it could be a rocky week on the stock market. scott mcgrew says, yeah, there's a lot of pressure. >> a lot of pressure. let's start with the hangover from friday. you remember friday, we had the lousy numbers from the labor department. the u.s. economy added only 115,000 jobs to the american economy. that is a net negative number. because more than 115,000 17-year-olds became 18-year-olds last month. they start counting against your employment numbers. the other problem you have this morning is in san francisco. the other thing to watch. turnover in france and greece. this is socialist francois hollande. and while he has promised to balance the french budget, far

less inclined to follow germany's plan to save the euro through tough cuts. the cost of french debt spiked overnight as did spain, as did portugal. futures here in america call for a lower opening on the stock market. now france and germany that don't get along. that's an interesting scenario. the new french leader wants to spend his way out of crisis. that's one way to do it. you pay off your debts. you print more euros. and this is the way america solves its problem with more dollars. it's legitimate. but it causes inflation. the germans are deadly afraid of inflation. jon and laura? >> if we could all just print more euros. thank you. >> 5:54 right now. let's check in on the weather. christina loren is here to tell us about a hot week. >> hot week. take a look at the spectacular sunrise. the result of all that sunrise coming in early. temperatures in the 50s. right now for the next 15 to 20 minutes, you're going to get those gorgeous oranges and reds. so check it out in your city. temperature wise today, up to

the 80s by noon inland, and you'll round out the day at about 4:00 p.m. at 86 degrees. you'll be likely turning on the ac on in your car. >> we're focusing on the slowdown happening southbound 101 as you're approaching 237 between moffett and 237 is where we've been following this motorcycle accident and all the activities in the center divide. i hear, though, they're not going to be able to clear that motorcycle because of the driver's helmet is wedged in a tire there and they can't roll the vehicle. but fortunately the driver's head was not in that helmet. the driver's okay, just a problem for the cycle and now slowing now as you approach 237 through the area. we're looking at a slower drive in the immediate area, but nothing beyond that. and then the east bay we're looking at okay flow for traffic. 880 around the san mateo bridge. we'll get more details from the chp and give that to you coming up. >> thanks, mike. right now we talk about a talented young lady. she can scat and sing opera, and

guess what? she plays the piano. >> talents have earned the high school senior a trip to the white house next month. >> lyla smith has been selected as presidential scholar of the arts, prestigious award only handed out to 20 students each year. she attends school in novato and has been performing since the age of 6. to win the scholar of the arts award, students must receive an award from a program called the young arts. they are whittled down to 60 finalists. from there the commission on presidential scholars selects the 20 winners. >> good luck and congratulations to lyla. still to come on "today in the bay," a battle brewing over the most dangerous roads. making the road safer is not worth the cost to the

environment, some say. courting investors through good old-fashioned networking. who they'll meet with coming up. and right now, we give you a -- kind of a mysterious look there over san francisco. the sun's coming up and all the lights have gone off in the building there. it's going to be a beautiful day. it's going to be a great one.
