reminder, you have to keep secure things like keys secure. ellen powell says she will no longer pursue legal action against kleiner perkins, she said she would drop her appeal and pay a court mandated fee to kleiner perkins to help them cover their legal cost. generally speaking if you take somebody to court and you lose, you have to pay their legal fees. powell said she could not afford to lose again. let's check your news before the bell. landon dowdy is live at cnbc world headquarters. good morning, landon. >> good friday morning. stocks could start friday on a down note, the markets closing off the highs of the day on thursday after racing early losses boosted by a jump in oil price. investors will get data on consumer sentiment wall street will observe a moment of silence just before the start of trading to mark the anniversary of 9/11. the dow rising 76 points yesterday to 16330, the nasdaq

to 4796. back over to you. i see mike over there getting ready for his traffic report. here is something he might find interesting, a european court has ruled going to and from work is work if you don't have a specific workplace. for instance, you are a construction worker that's going to move around the project, right? so going to the project could be considered and should be considered part of your hours work. now, if you work in an office or store and you choose to live 20 miles away that's your problem, but if you are asked to show up at a different place at the start of the day, you are an inspector, salesman, your hours start when you walk out the front door. now, this is only in europe, but i think it's a great idea. >> so are you saying because -- i'm sorry -- that you can like write off your miles and taxes or -- >> no, you would literally be paid. when your boss said, all right, at 8:00 i want you to be in milpitas tomorrow and in novato the next day, well, then you're working the minute you step out the door. >> you're being paid by the

minute basically which means all these people are going to be going to take 101 instead of avoiding it. >> this is europe so how about the m 4. yeah. >> the auto baun. >> yes. mike, you're getting a lot of love there. >> scott is absolutely right. driving is work anyway. also i like how he pointed to milpitas and novato and it was exactly perfect gesturing right there. >> apparently he can point at maps, too, weather, who knows where scott is going to move next. if you're sitting in traffic today on the way to the job site it will be hot, air conditioner on, especially later on today. not so bad as we start out, but we do have a mild start to the morning as we take a live look at san jose. it is all clear out there, but we're not seeing clear conditions all across the bay area this morning as you step out the door. it is 55 degrees in the north bay, now san francisco 57 degrees, you can see the fog on

the map there. also in coastal peninsula 67 degrees and in the south bay we start out at 67 degrees there. it is still going to be hot today, but it does come down if you are along the immediate coast, you are seeing the fog this morning, temperatures will be a little bit better, but our wind is also going to pick up as we go through the day. mostly a calm wind to start and here we are at lunchtime, you are sitting outside, enjoying lunch and the breeze is coming in at about 10 to 15 miles an hour, up to 20 miles an hour at dinnertime. so maybe not wanting to sit outside, but as we head into the weekend we will have some changes here. we're watching the remnants of linda who was a tropical system out there just to the west of cabo, it will be surging up the coast bringing some rain for southern california but we do also expect some of that to dry out and the possibility of some rain and maybe even some thunderstorms as the humidity increases, here we are early sunday morning and there could be some rain falling for parts of the bay area. looks like mainly the south bay

will have the highest chance of seeing at least a rumble of thunder, some lightning and then also a slight chance of rain. so as the humidity increases our temperatures will come down, but it will not feel any more comfortable. we will have still some more of that warm weather this weekend. so if you are heading out to the mountain view art festival, art and wine festival, it will be 81 degrees but with the surge in humidity we will definitely feel that on sunday. it will be 76 degrees so kind of about the same. a chance of showers and storms, some lightning also for southern california. if you will be traveling you will want to keep an eye out for that. let's see how the commute is moving with mike. it's moving very well but i do want to call out south of the bay area we have 152 westbound coming over from i-5 past dinosaur point we still have one line closed because of that fire and activity there. keep that in mind if you are expecting anybody coming from south land, for example, in toward the bay area. we are looking to the our roads, the south bay and tri-valley moving well, but the tri-valley

does have a build, a little slowing through livermore, nothing dramatic near the dublin interchange and the bay bridge toll plaza a little more traffic flow. we will end with this shot, show you the folks over on the right approach pausing for cash. 100 women, 100 miles. >> a group of san francisco women join a nationwide campaign in support of migrant workers and it's taking them far from home.

traffic signals more visible. the city of san francisco trying to make crosswalk and traffic signals more visible, but according to the san francisco chronicle a new study shows that a marketing campaign may actually be the best way to combat pedestrian traffic deaths. when paired with law enforcement the study found that boosting public awareness actually increased the number of drivers yielding to pedestrians. police say drivers failing to stop for those walking on its roads account for 64% of all accidents between people walking and driving. it is 5:24. lat in a immigrants and their supporters in san francisco will stand in solidarity today with dozens of migrant workers on the other side of the country. 100 women 100 mile campaign is a 100 mile walk from pennsylvania to washington, d.c. ahead of pope francis' arrival dr. the walk is a call for dignity for migrants, something the hope is expected to address when he meets with president obama and congress congress. the walk begins next week but today supporters will hold a

met mixed success. we've been talking a lot about sun run. if you got in on the ipo, if you were one of those wheelers and dealers that got in early you can get that stock for $14 or you can buy it today for $11. yesterday sun run said it most its first profit and investors still yaund, but no tech stock has been more disappointing than alibaba. it's down 40% for the year. this was not the biggest tech ipo, it was the biggest ipo in history, period and the smartest thing you could have done at the time was not buy this stock. so those are the things that go down, let's talk about things that go up and especially spaceships. spacex has released new pictures inside its dragon crew capsule, this is what it would loo look like to be a spacex astronaut. there is a look at the control panel. my favorite picture is this next one which we will not be showing

fog, but the marine layer is only about 800 feet deep so it is getting better, son-in-law fog is rolling across the golden gate bridge now, 57 degrees, 55 degrees in the north bay and 66 degrees in the south bay. highs today in the 80s and 90s, still sizzling inland and near 100 degrees for the north bay, south bay and tri-valley, but something that may change our weather there weekend, the remnants of a tropical system out there, linda. it will continue to weaken, but may spread some humidity, clouds and a slight chance of rain for the south bay. we will keep updating you on that as it moves in between saturday night and sunday. let's get a look at the commute with mike. not always the case on a friday, but today we do have the metering lights turned on and the backup fills in the toll plaza, the left approach a little better. you do have the metering lights on, it's a lighter flow, it is a friday and we do see that around your bay area freeways, nothing dramatic. a little build for the tri-valley, west 580 towards 680. coming up it's an ongoing

are striking back. >> he is a nars assist, he is an owing owe maniac, the only thing he believes in it himself if he wants to be a serious candidate he needs to act like one. >> i don't take it personally. >> people are willing to give a disrupter like trump a lot of latitude. >> reporter: cnn's latest poll has him way out front at 32%. tracie potts, nbc news, washington. >> don't miss it tonight, more presidential rate high jinx when donald trump pays a visit to jimmy fallon and "the tonight show." he is discuss his presidential campaign and perhaps endure some jokes at his own expense, that's tonight at nbc bay area right after our late night news. the man accused of spraying racist graft tee in san jose's bay view district set to appear in court as the community rallying to fight hateful messages. neighbors stood shoulder to shoulder last night, it is one of six locations where hateful graffiti appeared monday

"today in the bay" starts now. and a very good friday morning to you. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm sam brock. a somber day, an important day, we will get to that. first we're tracking the weather and roads. mike inouye has your friday commute but we start with meteorologist kari hall with a look at your microclimate forecast. good morning. >> good morning. it will still be hot today and at least some of us will get a bit of a break, especially if you live near the coast.

you're feeling a difference as we start out this morning with some fog. it is 57 degrees in san francisco, 56 degrees in the north bay, but look at the highs today, still 99 degrees in the north bay and the south bay 94, peninsula 86 degrees and in the tri-valley 105 degrees today, but, hey, we do catch a bit of a break with higher humidity of course, i will talk about that coming up in a few minutes. let's see how the commute is moving with mike. good morning. it's friday so we have a lighter volume of traffic but still have the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza, mid parking lot for the lanes off to the left. the approach over through the east bay not that bad, a little build for the tri-valley and richmond bridge shows a little slowing. san francisco we have a slower drive getting off the sky way. there is a disabled ramp off the ninth street off ramp. dream force preparations
