another world series title. >> just feel like it's coming here. on the brink of elimination over and over and now we're getting close to it. we have team coverage. bob redell is live outside at&t park where support for the giants has gone global, in a big way. we start things off with comcast sportsnet's jaymee sire at comerica park. jaymee good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it definitely has the feeling of 2010 when the giants went up two games to none on the texas rangers and ended up winning the world series in five games but what a performance last night by madison bumgarner. he was bounced from the nlcs rotation but worked on some mechanics and last night extended his winning streak at 15. that is tied for the fourth longest. >> buster did a great job, defense did a great job. we had them positioned right and it worked out. >> reporter: and the giants

managed just enough offense last night to come away with the win, including the most perfect bunt by blanco in the seventh inning that did lead to a run. game three coming up saturday night. ryan vogelsong against anibal sanchez. voc vogelsong. we know how well that worked out last time. >> jaymee, thank you very much. now that the sear reeds is actually moving to detroit, what the giants plan to do. >> there's actually a lot of things. some will hit the road to follow the team out to detroit, saying the good news, some tickets are actually still available but you actually have to know where to look for them. bob redell is live in san francisco with some insight on this and let you know just how deep you'll have to dig in your pocket to make it to detroit and actually get into the ball game. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jon and laura. you actually have to have a huge

chunk of change if you're going to follow the team to detroit. the team we understand is leaving on a charter flight out of sfo at 9:30 this morning. if they follow the same pattern as they did in 2010, they'll be boarding buses here at the 2nd street gate at at&t park around 9:00 this morning. and in 2010 they did have barricades up here so fans could be standing there. if the players wanted to come over and sign autographs, tt sort of thing, they did. so if you are thinking of saying a farewell to the team wishing them a nice bon voyage as they head to the city, we think 9:00 they'll be boarding the buses here at at&t park. if you're thinking of following them, we found one travel outfit out of massachusetts, sports travel and tours.com, a one game package including flight, hotel and the keep seats, $1275. if you're thinking for two games, you're north of $2,000, three games north of $3,000. bottom line, it is going to cost you some money. we looked at some stubhub

prices. the cheap tickets for just one game on saturday night, $299. most expensive, just over $41,000. that is for a suite. then it goes on down from there, just to the $5,000 range, $7,000 range if you want to be near home plate. we wanted to share this video with you because we found it amusing. if you are stuck on a plane during the world series this weekend, make sure there's live tv. this is virgin flight 210 between sfo and chicago last night. you can see fans are going crazy as the giants won game two of the world series. incidentally, my wife was on a virgin flight wednesday night when pablo sandoval set a new world series record with those three homers and she described it as a party. must be nice. coming up, we'll introduce you -- well, you know these player bus what's interesting about this world series, it's got the most foreign-born players playing in world series history. we'll have a little bit about

that and where these fans are coming from, from very far away just to see some of their hometown boys play. reporting live here at at&t park, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> that was just great video of the virgin flight, bob. thank you very much. party in the sky. partying up there at 30,000 feet. for the record, if you're counting, game three tomorrow is at 5:00 in detroit. good luck to the g-men. it is 5:04, and there are new details this morning in a shocking bay area twist to a deadly stabbing in new york city involving two children and their nanny. overnight we learned the parents of the children who were killed spent many years here in the bay area, an they have close ties with some big names in silicon valley. marla tellez is in our newsroom this morning with the details. this is such a hard story to hear, marla. >> reporter: just awful, laura. good morning to you. a quick search online shows those parents, kevin and marina krim lived in san francisco for about seven years before moving

to new york city just over a year ago. during that time in the bay area, kevin worked for yahoo!. we know that's in sunnyvale and then bloomberg. currently he's an executive with cnbc based in new york. we do have a picture of the couple that we found online. here they are, livewire.com. kevin had just landed at jfk international airport last night after leaving sfo in fact when he learned two of his children were stabbed to death by their nanny. officials say his 38-year-old wife, marina, walked into their upper west side apartment to find their 2-year-old son leo and 6-year-old daughter lucia dead inside the bathtub. their 50-year-old nanny was playing nearby with a knife at her side. >> on the floor of the bathroom is a nanny who apparently had inflicted wounds in her throat. >> reporter: this morning that nanny is said to be in critical

but stable condition. neighbors say they never saw or heard of any problems with the nanny, so still many unanswered questions as to why she would resort to such appear indescribable act. by the way, kevin and marina have a third child, a 3-year-old daughter, who survived the whole ordeal because she happened to be with her mom at a swim lesson at the time. jon. >> my god, that is just beyond tragic. okay, marla, thank you very much. in other news, grief counselors will be at an east bay high school this morning helping students there deal with the death of a classmate. her body was found an san gregorio state beach on sunday. her identity was discovered just yesterday only after a fellow classmate was able to step forward. christie smith is live at albany high school where she was an honor student and also a member of a tennis team there. good morning, christie. >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. first thing this morning students will meet with grief counselors to help them cope with this terrible news.

kathy qu was first reported missing way back in the end of september. she was a senior here at albany high school. now investigators have determined that a body found in san mateo county is her. a condolence page for the 16-year-old is up on facebook with classmates and friends commenting on what a nice person she was and she will surely be missed. she was on the tennis team, an honor student with a 4.25 gpa. investigators weren't sure initially who the body was that washed ashore on sunday at san gregorio beach but they got a break from a classmate at albany high school who saw a news report and thought she had this figured out. the coroner, though, still doesn't know how she died but there are no signs of foul play. toxicology reports should be back in about two weeks to shed some more light on that, qiu lived in richmond, she was a transfer student in albany. her family reported her missing september 27th and police had

considered her a possible runaway. richmond police say she was also reported missing in april and located in colorado and then sent back home to her family. reporting live in albany, christie smith, "today in the bay." let's switch gears and check the forecast with meteorologist rob mayeda. >> yeah, it does look like we'll see some of the nicest weather we've seen all week long starting today and taking us into the weekend. it's chilly, though. you'll need a jacket. low 40s this morning. gilroy down to 42. not much wind outside right now but what you're going to notice during the day, winds out of the north helping to clear out our skies and warm up our temperatures, and the storm track which has been sitting over the bay area moving towards the oregon border and moving further to the north for the weekend as our temperatures continue to climb on up. so this morning your kids will need a jacket. by lunchtime you'll see numbers in the upper 60s and low 70s. by the time you pick up the kids from school you'll be looking at

the upper 70s. how about some 80s in the forecast for the weekend? it looks like the warmest days are saturday and sunday. a few extra clouds some tuesday and some ghosty cloudy showers for halloween approaching wednesday. well, we're looking over here to the east shore freeway. over at the maze as you are coming off of 580 and 80, the maze there, reports of a stalled vehicle. i just got the refresh from chp, the reason we didn't find anything no matter how hard i searched, it's out of the lanes. that's good news. smooth drive to and from the bay bridge on the maps. i circled that area. no real slowing. we do have construction crews still going on with two lanes blocked as you're heading northbound toward 23rd so keep in mind as the crews start to move you might see a little slowing coming up. and farther south, let's go past the truck scales and tesla. you're at the limit all the way from the south bay up to that coliseum shot. back to you. it's 5:10.

south bay police on the lookout for a serial bank robber that's hit banks in four cities. we'll show him to you coming up. also the end of that world series along with the g-men championship could bring a decision on the a's plan to move to the south bay. we'll have more coming up. apple disappoints the markets and why you should buy a very expensive airline ticket as well. i'll tell you all about it in business news.

it's time for a check on business and tech. apple says it has met just about every expectation it set for itself in the last financial quarter, but investors are still disappointed. scott mcgrew, what's up with that? >> good morning. and thank you for putting up with my cold, by the way. apple is famous, jon, for setting fairly low forecasts, blowing past them. so when it actually meets its

forecast in a weird way that's kind of a disappointment. apple said it sold fewer ipads than analysts were hoping but you can blame apple to some degree because it's possible fans were waiting to buy that new ipad mini. devices are also getting more and more complex to build, that's cutting into profits. now, coincidentally samsung reported profits too. it's a reminder. we think of samsung as the underdog, but it's not. samsung sold twice as many phones as apple, twice as many phones in the same quarter. let's check in with cnbc, she can rescue me. good morning, bertha coombs. >> reporter: good morning, scott. very interesting, apple having to post this clarification that samsung does not impose on its tablets patents ordered by the u.k. courts but if you read it on the u.k. site for the most part they sort of say it's not as good as ours, that's the

reason why it doesn't infringe on our patent. apple shares this morning are bouncing a bit after taking a big tumble following that quarterly earnings miss yesterday with the ipad sales coming up short. as scott mentioned, part of the fact is the fact that these new devices, the iphone 5, the ipad mini and the ipad 4, if that's what we're calling, that we weren't even looking for, they're more complex to produce and more expensive to a certain extent. preorders for the new ipads began this morning in more than two dozen countries. in the meantime let's not forget microsoft is rolling out its own new operating system, windows 8 today, in one of the company's biggest product launches since windows 95. microsoft is opening 32 temporary pop-up stores just for the holidays to promote and sell windows 8 which features faster boot-up times and connections to wi-fi service. windows 8 is designed to run on

a variety of devices, pcs, laptops, smartphones and the new surface tablet which hits stores today. analysts say 90% of consumers an businesses may wait at least a year before making the switch to windows 8. i know our i.t. department is running behind because they want to make sure everything runs with all of the applications and they want to macsure all the bugs are out. we never went to vista here. we're still on xp. >> and we're still on blackberry. bertha coombs, thank you very much. ask anybody about san francisco-based virgin america airlines. they will smile. it's everybody's favorite airline except when it comes to buying tickets. the company continues to give employees time off. it's those high fuel prices that are hitting virgin america particularly hard. virgin america is privately held so you can't really go through its numbers but the temptation here is to speculate.

people say they want to be treated well on a nice plane, but when it comes to buying a ticket, that nicer airline is 50 bucks more, people settle for the usual airline. that's my suspicion. >> going for the bargains. we're going to go for some tea for you in a little bit. >> with all those high notes, i thought he was going through late puberty. 5:16 right now. rob mayeda is here to talk about a nice forecast. wouldn't be giving people colds out there. >> no, no. this morning is a little chilly, though. i feel bad for scott. the weather is not helping this morning. we've got numbers in the low 40s outside so as you send the kids off to school a good jacket for the morning but we're talking t-shirt weather by the afternoon. 43 in napa, clear skies. 49 san jose, gilroy down to 42 degrees. not much wind out there now but you'll notice around lunchtime the winds will pick up, especially in the hills. we'll get some winds helping to clear out our skies and warm up the temperatures. right now fog not much of an issue.

this happens after you get some recent rain. we get some of that central valley fog that tries to drift into the east valleys. we'll watch that as we go through the weekend. so warming trend begins today. we're looking at numbers by the weekend, 70s and 80s inland. today most of our inland locations getting into the 70s. it looks fine for anything outdoors for your weekend plans but by the middle part of next week approaching halloween, may see some changes. the storm that's been parked over the bay area finally moving north. high pressure will give us 36 hours of an offshore wind pattern so this gives us breezy conditions in the hills and starts to warm up our temperatures, even out to the coast. santa cruz mid-70s today, low 70s around san jose. around the tri-valley you'll see numbers in the upper 70s around livermore and pleasanton right around 4:00 this morning. a little dry and breezy in the hills around santa rosa, 78 degrees today. warmest day of the weekend probably saturday.

sunday close behind. then as we get into the beginning of next week, some cooling temperatures. for halloween you might leave the umbrella on standby. cooler temperatures and maybe some raindrops around trick-or-treat, mike. looking in the westbound 580 direction, where we had the earlier slower, that tire cleared from the roadway without incident but now the slowing starts coming out of the altamont pass heading in toward north livermore. we see the slowing continue to build as the volume continues to build as well. moving down to the south bay, we're looking at your northbound rouds. not a problem right now. there's 101, 87, 85, which has been starting early these last six weeks basically. looking okay so far. looking at construction crews just north of the 280/880 interchange, not a major issue here. we'll move up the peninsula. we're looking at foster city and our approach from the san mateo bridge. a nice, easy light drive.

san mateo bridge will remain open this weekend. no closure. it's been called off for this weekend. palo alto 101 moves smoothly as well all the way up into the city. and 101 in the north bay, you're looking just fine. as we show that i'll let you know b.a.r.t., all delays have been cleared up, guys. back to you. that is good news. a former u.s. senator backering out of settlement talks in the san bruno pipeline explosion following opposition from the city. the city claims george mitchell's involvement would represent a conflict of interest because his law firm represents an insurance airicarrier for pg. he was set to lead negotiations between pg&e and the california public utilities commission. the issue is how much should pg&e pay in fines for the september 2010 blast that killed eight people. south bay police want and need your help this morning trying to identify a suspect in a series of bank robberies.

sunnyvale police say these photos were taken during the most recent heist. that very same man is suspected of hitting five other south bay banks in the last two months. he's also wanted for questioning by police in los gatos, campbell and san jose. the man is described as being in his 30s, medium height, stocky and with a goatee or heavy 5:00 shadow. an attempt to bring the oakland a's to the south bay could be blocked.a lan dispute. san jose made a deal that would allow them to buy land for a new stadium at below market prices but state officials are threatening to overrule that deal and force the land to be sold at market rate. major league baseball officials are still considering whether to allow the team to move to san jose. a decision could be made sometime after the world series. it is 5:21. from the athletics, we go back to the giants. thae that's right, it's time to play ball. we have live coverage continuing from detroit in a matter of minutes. [ woman ] dear chex cereal,

i've never written a fan letter before, but you've done what i thought was impossible: you made good-for-you, gluten-free cereals in a whole bunch of yummy flavors. cinnamon chex and honey nut chex are two of our favorites. when my husband rob found the chocolate one, we were in cereal heaven. the only problem is, with so many great flavors you're making it very hard to choose. so thanks. from your fans, the mcgregor family. 'cause we love chex. [ male announcer ] love chex? connect with us on facebook.

good morning, everybody. how are you feeling on a friday morning? it always feels good heading into the weekend. that's a live look over san jose. a cool start to the day, but meteorologist rob mayeda is along to eltell us it is going be a pretty good-looking weekend. it is one year to the day occupy oakland started and that day came an went in relative peace. several hundred people marching through the streets marking that day. protesters were kicked out of their encampment last october in front of city hall. many of the marchers say that movement which started as a protest to stand up for the middle class may be fragmented now, but overall, it's still going strong. >> obviously it's not as strong as it was. we had 100,000 people with us on november 2nd of last year. we are trying to rebuild.

>> police officers did keep an eye on that rally and march to make sure things did not get out of hand. we can report that the plaza this morning has been completely cleared out, all calm out there. yesterday two people were arrested, but police say overall they were pleased with the outcome. 5:24. oakland police will get some much-needed help next week. governor jerry brown says the chp will deploy officers to oakland and stockton as early as next week. additional officers are meant to help increase patrols in high crime areas and conduct traffic stops. >> it is 5:24 right now. rob mayeda is in for christina loren and he's telling us get ready for a nice-looking sunshine weekend. >> we're starting to see the changes that will lead to the warming this weekend happening outside right now. you might not notice in terms of the temperature, not very warm out there. low 40s in the north bay. you're going to need a jacket this morning. but for most places we'll see temperatures warming at least 30 degrees or so.

atop mt. diablo, at 3800 feet we've got northwest winds at 40 miles per hour, so winds picking up out of the north in the hills. before dawn we'll mix down to sea level during the day. helping to clear out our skies and warm up our temperatures, 68 in san francisco, mid-70s closer to san jose and maybe even close to 80 in the warmer places inland today. if we don't get there at that, we'll certainly see that in the tri-valley saturday and sunday and turning a little bit cooler for the early part of next week. mike. >> we're looking at a nice weekend and that's good stuff. east shore freeway looks nice but the volume continues to build here coming underneath that bridge at university westbound with those headlights. farther north we'll look at the maps and see speed sensors fine. pinole valley road, reports of an earlier accident. injuries involved but now everything just moved to the shoulder. nonetheless we see the kickoff for the slowing right past highway 4 approaching the scene.

i'll let you know how that affects your drive toward the bay bridge. disabled vehicle 880 on the southbound side at the broadway on-ramp but it sounds like everything is out of the lanes. we'll track that. now back to you. the time is 5:26. still to come on "today in the bay," san francisco still all jacked up after last night giants victory. why not. >> amped up or jacked up? >> both. good vibrations all around for everybody. the team now two games up in that world series. it's a 2-0 lead. we've got all your coverage and all sorts of jacked up, amped up vibrations coming your way. >> stick around, please. ♪

we'll try to help you sort out the confusion between windows and ipad and everything else. and your san francisco giants gearing up for game 3 of that world series after a big victory last night. we're going live to detroit for all the details. and after a rainy week, we're in store for a bit of a

warmup as we head into the weekend. some 80s coming back into your weekend forecast. i'll have a look at that coming up. and chp getting calls about a wrong-way driver on the san mateo bridge but i think i sorted out what's going on. i'll explain that coming up. a live look outside out by sfo. as rob mentioned, a nice weekend on tap. you made it to friday. it's october 26th. this is "today in the bay." it is 5:30 on the nose. good morning, everybody. happy you're along with us. i'm jon kelley. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. the giants packing their bags this morning getting ready to fly out to detroit. >> looking and feeling good. comcast sportsnet's jaymee sire is already in motor city. jaymee, this one far from over but the giants have to be feeling good rolling into town with that nice, cushy two-game

le lead. >> reporter: absolutely. in 2010 they had the same lead but this giants team knows what it's like to be down so i'm sure they're not taking anything for granted. they are expected to hold a workout here a little later today in preparation for game three, which is coming up tomorrow. but game two was all about the kid, madison bumgarner, the giants lefty on the mound last night. he kind of corrected some things that got him bounced from the rotation in the nlcs and he extends his scoreless inning streak in the world series to 15 innings, picking up right where he left off in 2010. >> it definitely feels a lot better, a lot less stressful. but we can't stop pushing or we're going to find ourselves in the same position we've been in. so we've got to keep pushing until it's over with. >> reporter: meanwhile a scary moment for tigers pitcher doug fister who took a line drive off his head in the second inning, reminiscent of when a's starter suffered a fractured skull on september 5th.

but the merced native never left his feet and ended up retiring 13 of the next 16 batters he faced. up next, game three featuring ryan vogelsong and anibal sanchez. vogelsong is 2-0 in his three postseason starts. that is coming up tomorrow. guys, it is starting to sprinkle a little bit here in detroit, so hopefully we do not have any more rain delays on our hands as we saw this st. louis. >> right. because we can't wait to watch. >> reporter: exactly. >> it is safe to say world series fever just sweeping all over not only the bay area but worldwide. >> yeah. we're not kidding. giants and tigers fans can be found across the country and across the world as well. bob redell is live at at&t park with more on the global impact the world series is having. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura and jon. it should come as no surprise

because there are more foreign-born players playing in this world series than in any other world series in history. most notably, a lot of them are from venezuela. just look on the giants, you've got marco scutaro, gregor blanco and pablo sandoval all from that south american country. when they have looked into the stands during games one and two here at at&t park, not only could they spot the orange and black but possibly the red, blue and yellow. those are the colors on their country's flag being held by fans who flew from venezuela here to san francisco to see their hometown boys play. and back home venezuelans are heading to bars demanding the tv be tuned on to a game being played thousands of miles away. >> it's a great feeling to see it here in the world series and putting venezuela on the top. >> venezuelan people love baseball and always give great support. it's nice to see the people back

home happy for us. >> reporter: now in just a few hours from now around 9:30, the giants will be boarding a charter flight out of sfo to head to detroit where jaymee is at right now. typically as we noticed last time they went to the world series, they leave about a half hour ahead of time. they'll be boarding buses here at the 2nd street gate at at&t park. last time they did have barricades set up. if you're a fan and want to say goodbye to the giants, you can come out here and see them off. as they did last time, i believe some of them did interact with fans signing autographs, that kind of thing. we think it's probably around 9:00 this morning they'll be boarding those buses here at at&t park. reporting live here, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> if not, you can meet bob. >> that's worth the price of admission right there. he'll sign autographs all day. if you're counting down to this one, game three tomorrow night starting at 5:00. >> and for all your latest giants news, check out our

website, nbcbayarea.com. there's loads of information there. happening right now, grief counselors at an east bay high school this morning helping students deal with the death of a classmate. cathy qiu's body was found near half moon bay sunday and her identity was discovered just yesterday after a fellow classmate stepped forward. christie smith is live at albany high school where qiu was both an honor student and a member of the tennis team. such a tough morning all the way around out there. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you. the way social media is among high school students, word travels fast. this morning there is already a facebook page of condolences remembering cathy qiu, the high school senior here at albany high, just 16 years old with one friend remembering her as helpful and kind. others saying they're just sorry for whatever led to this. qiu was identified when a classmate saw news reports and

thought it could be her. that led to dental records and a firm identification. counselors will be at school today helping students deal with their grief. on sunday a body washed ashore in san mateo county but investigators didn't know who it was at the time. qiu was reported missing by her family on september 27th and was considered a possible runaway. her parents had previously reported her missing back in april and she was located in colorado and then brought back home. qiu was an honor student here at albany high with a 4.25 gpa and a member of the tennis team. the coroner says right now there are no obvious signs of foul play, but toxicology reports should be back within the next two weeks and that could help determine the cause of death. reporting live in albany, christie smith, "today in the bay." also happening now, the tablet wars are heating up. apple has the ipad and the ipad mini. now microsoft jumping into the fray. scott mcgrew in our newsroom with a look this morning. >> good morning, lower avmt big

day for the new devices that are killing the pc industry. let's start with that ipad mini. that goes on preorder this morning. thousands of people have already gone to apple.com, plunked down their money for a ipad minimumy. the ceo of apple defending the high price, $329, on a conference call. those minis will be in stores november 2nd, that's a friday, and no doubt people will line up for one, even though you can just order it online now, ups will bring it to your house the morning of the 2nd. you don't have to line up. you never have to line up. also going on sale today is the microsoft surface tablet. this will be in stores first time in history. microsoft has made its own computer. it runs the tablet version of windows 8. now, that's interesting about this, the surface, is it's a bit more than a tablet but a bit less than a laptop and this puts it in a whole different category, which i think gives it an honest shot against the ipad.

instead of competing directly, jon and laura, you're competing in a slightly different space that you sort of invented yourself. >> yeah, it's interesting to see how it all plays out. i can't wait to see the numbers on it. thank you very much. >> just on a regular basis, such a seismic shift in that industry just over and over, the competition out there. 5:37, talking about shifts, we went from rainy and cool and it's going to be cool this morning. we're starting to get hot, right, rob. world series shifting now to comerica park in michigan. they have got light rain. game time temperatures at 7:00 local time at comerica park, low 40s, upper 30s at times for these games and a few showers in the forecast, especially toward monday so be watching that closely. a very big change in the weather for our giants as they head over to michigan. low 40s outside, mainly clear skies. not much wind out there right now but by the afternoon, north

winds will pick up which will lead to a warming trend that will kick in for our valleys tomorrow. 70s and 80s this weekend, turning cooler early next week and then we'll see a chance of those raindrops coming back in probably right towards halloween. in the meantime high pressure building in, try, offshore breeze at least through saturday and some cooling on the coast by sunday. 40s and 50s for now, 60s lunchtime mid-to upper 70s inland. t-shirts will be just fine for inland valleys this afternoon. we turn cooler with more clouds rolling in in time with halloween. >> quick, quick, quick, take this full screen. flashing lights just disappearing, that's what was going on as far as i can tell. chp getting reports. let's look on the other side of the san mateo bridgef a wrong-way driver. there were road crews going the opposite direction. they had blocked it off for the construction zone so those

flashing lights and the headlights were also in the blocked-off area. it's a construction zone, everything is okay on the san mateo bridge. in fact it should be a little faster. it just confused that one driver who called it in and that was the only issue there, so no problems here. we'll go over to the bay bridge where there's no problem reported here either but the congestion starts to build now at the toll plaza for these cash lanes. the east shore freeway moves smoothly. first i want to give you a quick look at the south bay as well as that volume starts to build here for 101 at 680. again, san mateo bridge, much better news, no problems for drivers. >> people getting a jump on that friday, right? thanks. it is 5:40 right now. 11 days and counting. the presidential candidates continue their push for the white house and looking for your vote. we'll have the latest on the campaign trail coming up in a live report. >> reporter: and we have new details about two children who were allegedly stabbed to death by their own nanny. this happened in new york but the family has close ties to the bay area. i'm marla tellez with that story still ahead.

on to decision 2012 and the candidates continue the final push for the white house and election day. we have new figures out on how much money both presidential candidates are bringing in during these final days. tracie potts is live on capitol hill and has all of the details. good morning. >> reporter: hi, jon, good morning. we don't know who's going to win yet. what we do know is whoever wins, it's going to be the most expensive campaigns ever. they're already over $2 billion spent so far this time around. so far this month the romney campaign is ahead in fund-raising through the 17th of october. and a lot of that money being spent on tv ads and on the road. president obama back after eight states in two days where he also stopped in illinois and voted early in his hometown of chicago. last night he was in ohio. so was governor romney. they were speaking at just about the same time about 150 miles

apart. governor romney says this time around he is the candidate for change. he had a massive concert with 12,000 people there and he says that the momentum for his campaign is building. we are starting to see that in the polls. colorado, bagts ground state shows it locked up, tied up in that state. and the poll in nevada where the president has had a bit of a lead still shows that he's up by three percentage points, within the margin of error. still, as we've been saying, jon, a tight race. >> heading right down to the wire, tracie. appreciate it. 5:44. new details this morning. a surprising bay area connection to a deadly double stabbing in new york city involving two children and their nanny. it turns out the parents of the children who died have close ties to silicon valley. today in the bay's marla tellez in our newsroom with the new details that she learned overnight. marla? >> reporter: laura, good morning. according to online records, kevin krim and his wife, marina,

spent seven years living in san francisco. overnight we have confirmed kevin was a yahoo! executive during most of that time so this means he spent quite a bit of time in sunnyvale. just last year the couple moved to new york where kevin is now part of our nbc family. he's a senior vice president and general manager for cnbc. that picture there we found online, livewire.com. sources tell us kevin had just finished a business trip to the bay area, in fact yesterday, when he landed at jfk international last night he was met by police who informed him two of his three children were found stabbed to death allegedly by their own nanny at their upper west side home. his wife had just returned from taking their 3-year-old daughter to a swim lesson when she found this gruesome scene. >> she's assuming that the nanny may have gone out with the children. she goes down to the lobby to ask the doorman if they had gone out an he says no. she goes back up.

the apartment is dark. she goes into the bathroom and that's when she discovered the bodies. >> reporter: this morning that nanny is in critical but stable condition. neighbors say they never saw or heard of any problems nanny. what's even more heart breaking is ma reapa kept a blog that focused on her children called life with the little krim kids. her last post was just made yesterday. jon, it was written about leo and written just hours before he was killed. >> oh, this is just beyond heart-breaking and tragic. appreciate the update on that. well, moving on now to some weather. checking things out on the east coast, hurricane sandy has lost some of her power but still causing a lot of trouble out there. that deadly storm has already passed over cuba killing a total of 11 people. ten others have died in other parts of the caribbean. the category 1 storm over the bahamas this morning heading towards our east coast also bringing the tropical storm conditions to that florida

coast. sandy could be causing major weather problems all weekend long up and down that east coast. you can see some of the devastation in the video. they expect more of it this weekend, right? >> it's going to affect the entire east coast by the time that it's done. right now it's a hurricane that is just off the florida coast. winds at 80 miles per hour sustained moving northwest at 10 but look at the path for the storm. it's going to parallel the coastline, swing out around the carolinas and hook back towards possibly new york. long island and it looks like the jersey coast as we get into monday. a very interesting system because it's going to have those tropical characteristics like a hurricane but may involve into a giant nor'easter as cold air out of canada gets infused into the system and really makes for a volatile mix. so we could be looking for a hybrid system making its way into the northeast. heading up to the north east assas

earl as monday. no umbrellas today. we've got the rain that has moved on. you'll notice the winds picking up after sunrise. north winds will mix down to the surface which will lead to the drying conditions and the warmup that will take us into the weekend. 70s and 80s for inland valleys this weekend an then a chance of seeing that rain coming by tuesday. the pattern shift is high pressure building over california giving us a slight offshore pattern to start off the weekend. this is going to lead to the warmup. mostly 70s this weekend and the inland valleys may get into the low 80s saturday and sunday. low 70s around san jose. offshore breezes, mid-70s for the afternoon today. upper 70s around pleasanton and livermore. in the north bay 78 isnn santa rosa. east bay, look out for winds getting up to 30 miles per hour this afternoon. not as much wind down to sea level but you're getting the warming effects there. 72 in oakland, 68 in san francisco.

warmest days of the week happening now through sunday. then a little bit of cooling early next week. stay tuned, the middle part of next week looks like we'll see another pattern shift which may bring us some showers as we head towards halloween there. mike? >> so it's just clouds. the earlier disabled vehicle on pinole valley road has cleared to the shoulder and just in the last few minutes an accident in that same area possibly caused by some of that earlier slowing. expect more now just continuing west from highway 4. and also just past that, another issue here as you're approaching the merge coming off of that richmond bridge, west 80 coming through richmond. another disabled vehicle reported being pushed to the shoulder out of your middle lanes. expect more slowing. even though it's green here, look just south of there and you see all these cars filling in all the lanes. we're still at about 60 miles per hour down the east shore freeway but expect this to start slowing even on a friday we have that build. no problems at the toll plaza,

though. bay bridge, that is. we'll look over to the peninsula and see a smooth drive as well. 101 northbound past university filling in more traffic on the lanes but no slowing all the way into or out of san francisco. we'll check the south bay because of course it's time for that first burst and we don't see any major slowing for 101 but we're watching here 880 through the construction zone, a little slowing there and of course highway 85 will slow down a little on a friday as well. back to you. it is 5:49. new this morning san mateo sheriffs released a picture of the man they say kidnapped a 9-year-old girl from parkside elementary school. this is the booking photo of 25-year-old bradley mrazek. prosecutors say he grabbed a 9-year-old girl inside a bathroom last month and dragged her down the street until she was able to escape. he pleaded not guilty to the charges and will be back in court next month. and we are following a developing story out of castro valley this morning. alameda county sheriff's deputies announcing an arrest in

windows 8 lets you tap on the screen but it's also a fully powered operating system. it will run all the big-boy programs like excel or photo shop or specialized programs your company needs. so let's go to the geek board here. there are three tablet types going on sale today. ipad mini is available for preorder. that's a small ipad, nothing really complicated there. the microsoft surface. that's made by microsoft to run the version of windows 8 but won't run regular windows programs. and then a host of other products like the toshiba that run windows 8, work like tablets but will run all of those legacy programs that you need. they're fun to use. you can quickly look up how to solve the common cold. doesn't give you much of an answer, but they're cool. >> i kind of want to play around with it. it's definitely your gadget today. thanks.
