morning commute as well, but it should be clearing out bits and pieces here throughout the day, 63 degrees, mild temperatures yet again all across the bay area, half moon bay, san francisco, staying in the lower to mid 60s, more towards the south bay, mid 60s, maybe hitting the 70s in san jose, we could very well just top out at about 69 degrees but as we beginning to -- or continue, rather, to track this cool front, we are expecting to continue to see a push in that forecast, which means, as those showers continue to make their way through the region f you pop up showers, we are tracking another system that is going to come in on sunday morning and that's going to kick up the winds that could bring a concern for those morning commuters. i'll have more coming up in your full forecast. >> all right, vianey, thank you. well, let's start with the developing story in the south bay, chaos at a popular valley fair mall in san jose, two people were stabbed, sending shoppers running for cover. witnesses say a group of teenagers attacked two adult men just outside the bath and body

works store. this was 7:30 last night. officers say one man was stabbed in the hand, the other in the back. neither injury is life threatening. san jose police chased down, arrested five suspects who were hiding in a nearby neighborhood. as of now, police do not believe this was a targeted attack. >> it doesn't appear to be that there's a group of people that were out looking for another group of people. looks like it was just two groups of kids and they just escalated from there. >> witnesses believe the attack was gang-related. investigators have not confirmed that claim. police are asking for help this morning as they track down a person who killed a prominent san francisco attorney. james gilliland jr. was shot to death on his own front porch in el cerritos hills friday night. police say gilliland, an attorney with clients like apple and oracle and sony, was coming home from a social event when he was confronted. his wife and neighbors heard that gunfire. >> we heard two shots and three kind of rapid ones afterwards,

and something in my gut says this is not fireworks. >> gilliland was a managing partner and chairman of the litigation department at kill patrick townsend law firm. he was our trusted colleague and close friend as well as a mentor and role model to so many. jim will be missed deeply. police are looking for surveillance video from homes nearby, really any evidence that can help them in that investigation. to a story we broke yesterday, an arrest in the bay area cold case, richmond police say this man, jonathan jackson, raped and beat to death an 82-year-old woman, sun kwon, while she was out on a morning walk in 2012. the case remained unsolved until september, when jackson was arrested on charges of possessing a stolen car. his dna sample was taken as well. it came back to match evidence left on kwon's body. hillary clinton on damage control this morning, donald

trump taking full advantage as a new twist in her old scandal, the fbi is re-examining mrs. clinton's e-mails. the fbi discovered new e-mails on a device used by secretary clinton's closest aide. it's not clear what information those e-mails contain, and there's still uncertainty that secretary clinton wants to clear up before election day, which is now ten-days away. >> we don't know the facts, which is why we are calling on the fbi to release all the information that it has. >> the e-mails were found as part of an ongoing probe of former new york congressman anthony weiner and the laptop he used to allegedly send inappropriate text messages to an underage girl. weiner's estranged wife is top clinton aide, huma abedin. we mentioned donald trump. the republican nominee quick to capitalize on that news. >> the investigation is the

biggest political scandal since water gate, and it's everybody's hope that justice, at last, can be delivered. >> it was mr. trump in iowa. trump has criticized the fbi's handling of the investigation, calling the agency incompetent and corrupt in the past. but yesterday, the republican nominee praised the agency. meanwhile, back here at home, a small business owner in san francisco, he says he is being targeted after being mistaken for a donald trump supporter. "today in the bay's" rick boone has that story. >> reporter: this mission district tattoo shop is in the middle of a political fire storm. the owner who didn't want to go on camera says this rock busted his window, all because someone thinks he's a trump supporter. but he's not. he says it's actually his boyfriend who loves the candidate. but over the past month, someone has been vandalizing his business. >> really ticks me off. >> reporter: it's just the latest in a series of troubling

incidents during the final weeks of this election cycle. sharon freatis was recently targeted when someone pulled down her hillary clinton signs from her home. >> going to put this up on the fence where they took down my hillary sign and see how long this lasts. >> reporter: and just days ago, a man was arrested for damaging trump's star on the hollywood walk of fame. >> i'm not at all sad that i did do it. i decided to admit that i did do it. i'll take the punishment. >> reporter: but most voters say they're fed up with these bold actions surrounding the likability of a candidate. >> and right now it's like if somebody says something even remotely different than what you think, they jump on you. >> rick boone, nbc bay area news. >> well, you shouldn't do that but you should go out and vote and if you want to study up for the election, you can check out or nonpartisan voters ed guide at nbcbayarea.com. you learn more about the issues and candidates specific to your city and county. much more ahead on "today in the

bay." coming up, is facebook allowing advertisers to discriminate against certain groups? the feature that has many questioning the social network. levi's stadium at the center of a debate between the 49ers and the city of santa clara, why the fight could lead to a change in managements.

want a great way to help our children thrive? then be sure to vote yes on proposition 55. prop 55 doesn't raise taxes on anyone. instead, it simply maintains the current tax rate on the wealthiest californians to prevent education cuts that would hurt our kids. no wonder prop 55 is endorsed by the california pta, teachers and educators. because all of us want to help our children thrive. it's time to vote yes on proposition 55.

it's time to vote yes should be shared with friends and family. except denny's all-new holiday pancakes. you won't want to share those with anybody. denny's new fluffier, tastier, better pancakes now in holiday flavors. welcome back to you as we begin to see the sunrise. this is over palo alto with a somewhat filtered view but it should be a straight on day. the next time you're going to check your facebook, take note of the ads. it was recently discovered facebook allows advertisers to target certain ethnic groups or leave them out altogether. here's "today in the bay's" ian cole. >> reporter: when you advertise on facebook, you can target certain audiences, but when creating an ad, you can also exclude certain users based on what facebook calls ethnic affinity. it even shows you how many millions of users would not see

the ad. >> very much concerned, anything that's exclusionary in our society, especially today's climate. >> reporter: investigative reporters from propublica first reported on the feature. now local members of the naacp are concerned what it might lead to. >> i don't think on its face that facebook's policy is invalid. i think it creates a great risk for the marketplace and a great potential legal liability for facebook if, in fact, it is used inappropriately. >> reporter: targeted marketing is not illegal, but attorneys tell us excluding ethnic groups from job or housing posts is. the head of multicultural sales at facebook writing, in part, "our ad policy strictly prohibit this kind of advertising and it's against the law. if we learn of advertising on our platform that involves this kind of discrimination, we will take aggressive enforcement action." . >> it's unclear from the materials to what extent facebook actually enables that

activity and doesn't adequately police it. >> reporter: still, some question if excluding users is discriminatory or helping business in this new age of personalized ads. ian cole, nbc bay area news. >> well, much more ahead on "today in the bay." the city of santa clara versus the 49ers, a battle over how millions of your taxpayer dollars are spent. why the site could determine who controls the stadium. >> we're tracking showers and more rain headed for your weekend, plus a look ahead at your halloween forecast coming up in just a bit.

stadium, a big threat that involves taxpayer money. here's "today in the bay's" michelle robins. >> we have to stop the bleeding of the general fund into the stadium. it's against the law. >> reporter: santa clara mayor says the city is prepared to take over management of the levi's stadium if the 49ers and sporting authority don't fly with their current contract. >> if they don't cure the breach, then we're going to take steps back to take back the management of the stadium. >> reporter: the potential contract breach that mayor gilmore is referring to is detailed in this independent audit. it states that the 49ers have failed to present a handful of budget documents that are detailed in the stadium contract. the city says those documents are crucial to determine how city money is being spent and how much money the city should be making from events like the taylor swift concert. >> if they're not managing the taemd properly, we will get someone who will. >> reporter: the independent auditor confirmed it's possible taxpayer money was used to reseed the field several times and in a phone interview, he also said he's working to

determine how much city money has been spent on nfl sanctioned events, which is illegal, according to santa clara city law. >> that's one of our audit questions as well, is to ensure that those costs are being properly allocated. >> reporter: the 49ers declined to speak on camera, but in a statement, a spokes person tells us the auditors have been told that the requested documents will be presented on monday. michelle roberts, nbc bay area news. >> well, the rain has been a welcome sight around the bay area. yesterday's storm dumped almost an inch of rain in some places. add to that a storm a couple weeks ago and we're at almost double the average rainfall for san jose, even higher for other parts of the bay area. the rain is helping fill up the reser reservoirs, though. >> they're not halfway full. our biggest reservoir, anderson, is at about 45%. >> that's right. half full. not half empty.

reservoir levels in santa clara county rose less than 1% since mid-october but the water is good news. a lot of that rain soaked into the ground and remember, ground water is actually our biggest reservoir of all. speaking of, let's check in with vianey about a look at your forecast, including halloween. >> it looks like we have more rain on the way for the bay area. so, if you like the rain, you're going to like this weekend. but the you don't like the rain, halloween might not be your favorite day in terms of having to cover up your costume, but i'll get more into that in just a bit. right now, mild temperatures across the bay area. we're seeing a few of those low clouds, of course we're going to expect to see overcast skies, light rain and scattered showers throughout the day are expected to remain in the forecast at least until noon midday before we clear out for just a bit and we see the arrival of a second storm system. now, we are going to climb into those 70s and the south bay at about 70, along the coast we're going to stay in those lower to mid 60s for the majority of the day. but you i want to take a look at

your hour by hour forecast. now, today's cold front didn't really bring a lot of that heavy rainfall, especially when you compare it to yesterday. but if you fast forward by a couple of hours, by about 5:30, the majority of those scattered showers and pockets of rain should have already made their exit out of the area. but you'll still see that cloud cover out near santa rosa, along the coast and san francisco as well could still see a few pop-up showers throughout saturday night. our biggest focus as we head into our future cast into saturday night at aren't 11:30, you're really going to see the arrival of that rain, specifically the second storm system is going to be more concentrated along the coast and the north bay area. so, around 11:30, into the overnight hours, out near santa rosa, really the north bay is going to start seeing heavier downpours. fast forward to about 9:30 in the morning and all of a sudden, it's going to become widespread, spreading throughout the region, and along with this storm system, what we're looking out

for is a concern for those stronger winds, 50 to 35 miles per hour, even near san francisco. palo alto now where you see the red and yellow, those are heavier pockets of rainfall and that's going to bring a concern. so if you had plans to be outdoors, you may want to bring them inside. i know there's a lot of halloween parties but it's better to be safe than sorry. now, speaking about halloween and about 5:00 a.m., hopefully nobody's up and about unless you have an early morning commute, the good news for the most part it's going to be pretty dry. overcast, you're going to see that cloud cover but if you have maybe a late night trick or treating session, we could be seeing some late-night rain showers. i'll get more into that in just a minute. now, i want to go back to those wind speeds. i did mention we're expecting a stronger storm as we head into tomorrow and the biggest concern going into that is going to be those wind speeds. now, out near san francisco and the half moon bay area, we're going to start seeing those gusts picking up into the late hours, maybe carrying on over into monday morning, so monday

morning, for halloween, also expect a breezy day, so if you have a halloween kos fume that you didn't want to wear a jacket to, it's better to be safe than sorry. i would say go ahead and bring a light sweater, maybe even keep an umbrella handy in the trunk of your car if you have a late commute. now, as far as your seven day extended forecast, we're going to have a rainy start altogether all throughout the day but we should be topping out at about 65 in san francisco so if you have plans to head out to that area, the early morning commute shouldn't be too bad. we're going to stop seeing rain around 11:00 or 12:00, so if you have lunch plans outdoors, that would be a good time. sunday, this is our biggest concern, we're going to keep monitoring this over the next couple hours to see exactly how much rainfall we get and this could be bring snow in the sierra mountains. late night showers on the radar, could carry on over into your tuesday forecast. by wednesday, we should be calming down before we see the arrival of a second system by next week. now, as far as inland, we're

expecting similar conditions as well. we're going to have a pretty good chance for some scattered showers up until about noon, 1:00, staying mostly cloudy with breaks of sunshine much like what you saw yesterday as we head into sunday, though, that rain should be sticking around for the majority of the day, really widespread throughout the region, heading into monday. late showers overall it's going to be a wet weekend ahead so i hope you're ready. >> all right. thank you. much more ahead. meet a man who risked everything to help save his mother's life. now a bay area pitcher back on the diamond. a story that will make you bay area proud.

welcome back. parents, of course, would do anything to save the life of their child, even if it meant risking their own, but what if the roles were reversed? a peninsula man risked his life and an athletic career to try to save his mother.

"today in the bay's" garvin thomas has this morning's bay area proud. >> liver donations, many people may not know, can be done from a living donor. roughly half of a person's liver is taken out and transplanted into a patient. it's a risky operation for both parties, but one joey carney was determined to do regardless of the outcome. >> reporter: as long as joey carney has been playing baseball, and that is, by far, for most of his life, it is still not accurate to say the sport is his first love. for this university of san francisco pitcher, that spot will always belong to the woman who introduced him to the game. >> started off kind of in the backyard, like i would be playing catch with my mom. >> reporter: the feeling was mutual, of course, and paula carney rarely missed one of joey's games throughout the years, until she started feeling ill and got some very bad medical news. >> in the spring of 2014, she

went to the hospital, very ill, and we received the news that she had end stage liver disease. >> reporter: two years of searching for a treatment and eventually a living donor for paula came up empty. it was then that this relief pitcher, whose job on the mound it is to save games, realized it was up to him now to save a life. >> i decided this was my time to just make it clear that i don't care what you say anymore, i'm moving forward with this process. >> reporter: joey contacted paula's doctors at ucsf medical center and asked to be tested to see if he could donate part of his liver to his mom. he was a match. >> so because of that, i have no problem if i end up dying on the -- on that table, because i'm trying to save my mom's life. and there's no way you can sway my mind. >> reporter: the fact that a division one college athlete would risk not only his athletic career but his life to save his mother was a story that got national attention.

but paula eventually took a turn for the worse and less than a month after the surgery, passed away. now, barely five months later, joey is fully recovered and has returned to the team. it is reassuring, he says, to return to something so familiar, though he promises after this experience, nothing for him will ever really be the same. >> you need to cherish everything you get, everything you have and every day you're given because it's honestly a gift. >> reporter: in the process of the liver donation, 40% of joey's liver was removed. remarkably, the body grows that liver back, and he says by next month, he should have a full sized liver once again. >> garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> 7:26 on your saturday morning. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, more bad blood

involving the sinking millennium tower in san francisco. the answers the residents did not want to hear. plus -- >> these are invisible curtains of death that are just placed out in the ocean. everything that swims into it becomes its victim. plus a type of net being blamed for killing thousands of animals off the california coast. investigative reporter explains the fight between saving jobs and saving marine life.

that hot chocolate all weekend long because this rain isn't going anywhere. for the majority of the rest of the weekend, we are expecting rainfall. right now, mild temperatures in the 60s, seeing a lot of that cloud cover and we are expected to remain pretty overcast for the majority of your saturday. light rain should continue along the region, at least up until maybe noon, midday, we will get a break, more than likely around dinner time before we see the arrival of a second system, but our highs for today will remain in the 70s for the south bay and the 60s for the coast. and here's a look at that rain. now we're tracking right now. right now, it looks like mainly the biggest concern are those clouds, fast forward to about 5:00, and we're talking a second system making its arrival late into the day. i will have more details on exactly what you can expect for your sunday coming up in just a minute. >> thank you, vianey. we begin with a developing story out of the south bay, chaos another a popular valley fair mall in san jose. two people were stabbed and sent

"today in the bay" was there. >> we haven't heard anybody talking about solving the problem. >> reporter: frank and andrew live in the millennium tower, a luxury high-rise that has sunk

at least 16 inches and is tilting at least 2 inches. they brought along video of a rolling marble inside their unit to demonstrate the problem. they came to city hall for answers but didn't get many. >> it sounded like a lot of legal pursuit, we without any real -- no one's really responsible. >> we did not demand geotech peer review for the heaviest building this side of chicago. >> reporter: san francisco supervisor aaron pes kin sponsored the hearing. he's asking why no one asked for a peer review of the tower's foundation. a peer review ended up halting the construction of a tou with a similar foundation in 2004 just a short dance away. >> it was projected to sink some 11 inches and was scrapped. >> reporter: the building department says it's taking action but it may seem like a hollow promise to residents. >> we do have a small door that keeps opening to the northwest slowly all the time. >> reporter: the developer

continues to insist the building is safe. >> the bottom line is that we're now very concerned about an earthquake. we're very worried. is that building safe? i kind of doubt it. >> reporter: christy smith, nbc bay area news. >> you can stay up to date on the investigation of the millennium tower on our website, you can find a lot more about the sinking and the tilting and why it's been kept secret for years. that's at nbcbayarea.com. well, this october has been a string of unpleasant surprises for donald trump, but now hillary clinton is getting her turn. her campaign has been rocked by word that the fbi is looking into newly discovered e-mails connected to the investigation of her private server. it's not clear what information those e-mails contained, and that uncertainty is something both clinton and the republicans alike want to clear up before election day. brian moore brings us the latest. >> reporter: hillary clinton is trying to defuse a bomb shell. >> so the american people

good morning, bay area. if you're just now waking up, looking outside your window in san jose, this is a live picture right now. we're at about 63 degrees and we are going to see a trend of clouds that are going to be adorning the bay area all weekend long with the possibility of a few scatters showers not just in the north bay but also in san francisco, at a nice 62 degrees. mild temperatures all expected throughout the day. here are your expected highs

throughout the day. san jose at about 70, out near half moon bay and san francisco will remain in the 60s. now, if you have an early morning commute, and you're worried about rain, don't worry. it's not going to be anywhere near as bad as it was yesterday. today, for the most part, it's going to be nice and catered with a few pop-up showers throughout the early afternoon, clearing out by about 5:00 where you'll mostly see a sunshine at momen moments just like yesterday, there were parts of the sky that would break up and you would see sun hien peak through. it's going to be similar to that today. about 5:00, that's when we will be catching the majority of the break from the rain. santa rosa out here, even out near san francisco, we'll see that cloud cover all throughout the day, hour by hour, though, pushing forward to the next frontal system, that's what we're really worried about. that's what we're looking ahead to now. if you do have an early morning commute, this specific storm system from about 5:30 is going to be concentrated in the coast

and also in the north bay and with this system, we're also concerned about the strong winds that it's going to bring, anywhere between 15 to 30-plus mile gusts could be kicking up into mid early afternoon by about 7:30, that rain is going to continue to spread throughout the rengion, which means palo alto and san jose are also going to get rain, so if you were enjoying the rain these past few days, get ready for more rain because it is only going to add to those rain totals throughout the remainder of the weekend. now, pushing forward into your halloween forecast, by about monday, 5:00 a.m., as those monday morning commuters are heading to work, you don't really have a lot to worry about. we may see a couple pop-up showers but the model is not really showing a lot of activity just yet. now, pushing forward to about 5:00, if you're coming out or you work out in the north bay, that's when you could start seeing some of that rainfall. san francisco out here in napa could also be seeing some light scattered showers. now i know everybody's worried about their trick or treating, and if you are an early morning

trick or treater or early evening, rather, or a late night halloween party gal or guy, you could be seeing some rain at about 5:00 or 6:00, but by 10:00, that's when we're going to see the majority of that rainfall, like i said, this system is going to be very concentrated in the north bay area. however, free monitor out near san jose could also be seeing some rain showers so if you're going to head out tricker treating, you might want to bring a light jacket. i do want to go back in and focus on those winds. like i said, this is going to be a concern by about saturday night, once that storm system begins to make its entrance, those winds are going to kick up. tagging in at about 9:00 a.m., we're picking up to about 19 miles per hour in san francisco, half moon bay kicking up at about 20, which could also bring high surf but by around 3:30, that's when we're expecting these winds to be the strongest when ch means at about 29, 30 miles per hour gusts, even on redwood city, also out near san

jose, so we are going to keep a close eye on this. by monday, things are going to remain fairly breezy, nothing to concern yourself with necessarily. taking a look ahead with that system, national weather service has issued a winter storm warning that will become in effect tomorrow from 8:00 a.m. to about 11:00 and that's because elevations above 6500 feet could see accumulations anywhere between 6 to 12 inches out in the mountain areas so if you had plans to head out to lake tahoe, i would hold off on that unless you want to spend a nice day insboorz in a cabin. here's a quick look at your seven-day forecast. we have rain ahead. don't forget to follow us on facebook and twitter. i'll give you the details just a bit. >> much more ahead on "today in the bay." we're going to investigate a fishing practice blamed for killing endangered wildlife on the california coast.

my mom marnie and then she died life. of lung cancer. so i have a personal interest in helping prevent smoking. i'm tom steyer, the co-chair of the yes on 56 campaign.

every year, nearly 17,000 california kids start smoking. a third of them will die from their addiction. tobacco taxes reduce youth smoking. please. vote yes on prop 56. if we can save even a few lives, it's worth it. welcome back. a type of fishing gear is blamed for killing endangered and threatened wildlife off the california coast. other states, even the united nations, have taken steps to ban or restrict the use of these fishing nets, but it's still allowed off our shores. investigative reporter bigad shaban has been looking into why. >> reporter: well, these fishing nets are called drift gill nets, they're designed to catch sword fish, but they can reel in a lot more than what fishermen are actually after. we want to warn you that some of the images we're about to share are hard to look at. over the years, thousands of animals have been killed after getting caught in these nets, ranging from wheels to sea

lions. some want the nets banned while others say the impact is overblown. now, we investigate. what happens when something gets entangled in one of these nets? >> it's the beginning of the end for that animal. >> reporter: biologist todd sign thor heads the turtle island restoration network, the conservation group that works to protect some of the most vulnerable sea creatures but steiner says this gill net is posing a major threat off the california coast. >> these are invisible curtains of death that are just placed out in the ocean. everything that swims into it becomes its victim. >> reporter: fishing boats can drop the nets into the ocean if from about sunset to sunrise so the nets are left out overnight. they can stretch up to a mile long. that's nearly the entire span of the golden gate bridge, roughly 6,000 feet. there's no cap on the height, but the nets are typically about 100 feet tall. >> this is basically a barbaric

method of catching fish. >> reporter: the federal government documents how much marine life the nets catch and kill each year by randomly placing government employees on anywhere from ten to about 30% of all fishing trips that use the nets. they obtain their photos and analyze their records and found that only about 22% of what's caught in the nets is actually kept. the rest is tossed back into the ocean. it's estimated 87,000 sharks were killed in drift gill nets over the past 25 years along the west coast. 3400 dolphins, 1100 sea lions, 389 whales, which includes endangered species, and 107 sea turtles, which are all either endangered or threatened. >> california is the last place left on the west coast where this is allowed to occur. and it needs to stop. >> reporter: earlier this year, state lawmakers pushed to ban all future permits, but the

legislation failed after the fishing industry pushed back. >> what do we get going on here. >> reporter: lifelong fishermen fought against the measure. we joined them off the california coast. how much of your livelihood depends on these nets? >> all of it. >> reporter: both men believe drift gill nets are the best option to catch sword fish. another option is harpooning individually but that's less profitable. how many harpooning trips would it take? >> it's probably five to one. >> reporter: so if the industry tossed the nets, they argue consumers could end up paying more. >> you couldn't afford to keep fishing. >> no, not really. i couldn't. you know, it is open ocean. you can -- there's always going to be something bad that, you know, you're going to catch but i think that happens in any fishery. >> reporter: but when the federal government studied the issue, it found california's drift gill nets kill and injure vulnerable marine mammals at a rate higher than any other type

of fishing gear used along the west coast. >> if you get rid of this fishery, all you're going to do is having more imports and that's more killing of, like, tenfold the killings in foreign countries. >> reporter: he says california now takes precautions to protect endangered sea turtles, the nets can't be used for about half the year and the nets now have to be 36 feet below the surface so there's room for sea life to swim over the top. plus noise making devices are attached all along the net to scare away marine mammals like dolphins and whales. so these emit a constant sound. >> a beep, beep, beep. >> reporter: as a result, the number of entangled marine mammals over the past two decades has been cut in half according to government researchers but it's estimated the nets still caught 14 whales and four sea turtles over the past five years. some species are engaged so injuring or killing just one or two can impact the entire

population. if these mile-long nets can potentially entangle or even kill a lot of what comes in its path, isn't that, pardon the pun here, just casting too wide a net? >> jesus fished with nets. >> reporter: but was his a mile long and did he leave it out overnight? >> i guess it -- i guess it would be all in the hands of the person using it. >> reporter: todd steiner believes the nets entangle too much to ever be used responsibly. >> if you want to talk about efficiency, you could throw some bombs into the ocean and catch all the fish that float up to the surface. we're not looking for efficiency. we're looking for sustainability. >> reporter: the federal government does issue guidelines on how much marine life fishermen should be allowed to kill each year unintentionally. while some fishermen have exceeded those levels in the past, we discovered there are no penalties. but just this month, the feds proposed a new law that would force the driflt gill net season to close down for up to two

years if certain types of whales or sea turtles are killed or even injured in the nets. you can log on to our website right now to see what types of animals are getting caught and how often. we created an easy to use tool that lets you search through 25 years worth of data. that's all at nbcbayarea.com. back to you. >> thank you. if you have a tip for your investigative unit, you can give us a call, 888-996-tips and they have e-mail as well. the unit @nbcbayarea.com. ahead on "today in the bay," a bay area astronaut on her way back to earth, the one thing she says she can't wait to do.

a bay area astronaut's on the way home after 115 days at the international space station. kate rubins, she's from napa, orbited the earth nearly 2,000 times traveling almost 50 million miles. she says she's happy to be coming back home. food, family, and being home in time to vote. >> it got sent to my home

address in the absentee ballot address is low earth orbit so i think that's pretty amazing. it's very incredible that we're able to vote from up here. >> rubins and her crew were 250 miles above earth. she'll return to the states after landing in kazakhstan about dinner time our time. well, you can stay in one of the most recognizable homes in the bay area now. the so-called flint stones house is up for rent on air bnb. you can see it while driving north on 280 in hillsboro. the house was up for sale in september, for just over $4 million but the price dropped to $3 million when no one bought us. the owner is renting the house for $750 a night to make money in the meantime. looks like fun. >> it does look like fun. grab your umbrellas. >> that's right. the flint stones for halloween. thanks for making us part of your saturday morning. we have more news for you tonight at 11:00.
