happy friday. breaking news out of tesla.. the company )s chief accountant has quit this morning. you see telsa shares marked unchanged here.. but they )ll likely get whacked when trading begins in about 15-minutes. the guy had been on the job for a month. a company you may not have heard of.. core-mark.. says its moving its headquarters out of the bay area.. and moving to texas. coremark distributes fresh food to convenience stores. you know the sandwiches in the little triangle container? there you go. the south san francisco based company employs about 6- thousand people nationwide. speaking of employment.. we just got the latest jobs numbers. very very strong. 201-thousand new jobs.. unemployment holds at 3-point-9

percent. but forget those numbers - they )re not important at all compared to wages. the big headline is money. wages grew 2-point-9 percent for the month.. the biggest jump since 2009. wages have been the big mystery. if practically everyone has a job.. and the economy is booming.. why weren )t wages going up? and we may have heard the last of alex jones. twitter says it has banned him for life.. from twitter.. and periscope. twitter was the last major social network to kick jones off its service. the ban came after jones harassed a c-n-n reporter. ironically.. jones was in washington to object to other services banning him.. to anyone who would listen. i mentioned tesla off the top.. video of elon musk recording a podcast last night with "joe rogan".

the podcast ran more than two hours. musk didn )t say anything surprising.. this was before he knew his accountant was going to quit.. but its newsworthy because its a rare public appearance and a rare q-and-a. here.. rogan asks him about making flamethrowers. . if you )re a warriors fan

with serious dance moves .. you could end up being co- workers with steph curry. right now - you )re looking at video of last year )s tryouts for the warriors dance team. and we can tell you - this season )s tryouts are already in motion. but if this looks like the thing for you - and the letters "a-a-r-p" do more than ring a bell .. listen up: this weekend .. the warriors hold auditions for their new senior dance team. the tryouts take place at the ultimate fieldhouse in walnut creek. and to be on the senior dance team .. you have to be 55 or older. .

it )s been a busy morning out there...

coming up next on today in the bay-- "nbc bay area responds" when a local woman says sears wasn )t "responding" to her:

nbc bay area responds to a san jose woman whose stove was out of service a lot longer than she expected. so, she turned to consumer investigator chris chmura to turn up the heat on the store. coming up next on today in the

bay-- coliin kaepernick continues to make headlines... his much-anticipated nike ad aired last night... and this morning social media is responding. plus... a controversial training course for bay area police will soon come to an end. what critics of "urban shield" are saying.

another setback this morning for san jose commuters looking to jump on bart to get into the east bay and the city. today in the bay )s kris sanchez is live with, yet, another delay for people who have been waiting for so long for this bart extension.

happening today -

the official kickoff - to a controversial first responder drill-program .. that )s ending its current form after this year. the alameda county sheriff )s office is hosting its last "urban shield" .. through sunday. the program began in 2007 .. in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. but it recieved critical backlash from people who say it militarizes local law enforcement. in march supervisors voted to end urban shield in its current format. the long term future of the program is still up in the air, and will be decided by a newly- created committee. state investigators say staff at two assisted living facilities in santa rosa left their residents behind instead of evacuating them as the deadly tubbs fire approached. the california department of social services is giving "oakmont senior living" legal notice -- the state plans to revoke the licenses of "varenna" and "villa capris". the state says staff at villa capris abandoned 20 elderly clients ... who would have died if family members

had not arrived to help evacuate them. at varenna- the state says staff left family members in charge. family members of people who are still living at varenna are now worried about their future. a meeting is scheduled for today to let them know what )s going on. "oakmont senior living" has 15 days to appeal the decision and request a hearing. this morning - the kickoff to the nfl season is still causing a lot of buzz across the nation. the game lacked some excitement until the very end - but that )s not what everyone is talking about. instead - it )s the nike ad .. featuring former niners quarterback colin kaepernick .. which made its debut during the telecast. today in the bay )s kira klapper joins us now with reaction. happening today - leaders of a south bay little league are meeting with city

it was a powerful message from colin kaepernick. hisd highly-anticipated, and highly-controversial nike commercial thrust him back into the spotlight this week. we still haven )t heard from kap himself -- but he was spotted yesterday. . here is video of colin kaepernick just outside of portland, oregon -- at the nike headquters. he spoke with nike employees... thanked the company for their support and for making him the face of their new "just do it" campaign. experts say nike certaintly did its homework when choosing kap. there has been some tangible backlash from the new nike campaign. for one... the college of the ozarks ... a small christian college in missouri... will no longer wear athletic apparel manufactured by nike. the school )s president says kaepernick was quote -- "promoting an attitude of division and disrespect toward america." kaepernick is currently in litigation against the nfl ... claiming team owners colluded to keep him out of the

league. and what started this all... kap )s protesting of police brutality during the national anthem... it didn )t appear that players from either team in last night s game protested during the anthem. there was plenty of reaction to the commerical on social media ... the president tweeting "what was nike thinking?" happening today - leaders of a south bay little league are meeting with city leaders today .. to try and solve a growing homeless problem. the san jose spartan little league is asking the city to clean the fields they use near 101 and tully. the league says it )s been dealing with human feces, trash and drug use on the field while kids

are playing games. the league claims it )s lost 50-percent of its players over the last two years.

.

coming up next on today in the bay-- another apple store... another robbery... but could it be the same people? what police are telling us this morning about the latest apple store that was hit. .

fast, reliable internet is crucial. does it every go down? yes. can't do my job. business grinds to a halt. our gig-speed network not only downloads files up to 20 times faster, we go beyond fast with 4g backup for complete reliability. so if the unexpected happens... (snaps fingers) you stay up and running. we lost power... but not to that. i want that. (laughing) for a limited time get fast, reliable internet

for a low price. call now. comcast business. beyond fast. here )s one of our top stories: another brazen robbery at an apple store.

this time in downtown los gatos -- just before 2 p-m yesterday. witnesses say three men grabbed devices on display and dashed from the store. this is the sixth apple store hit in the past two weeks. walnut creek police released this surveillance video hoping someone will recognize the crooks who stole close to 30-thousand dollars worth of i-phones and macbooks, last week. investigators believe it )s the work of the same crew. two of the biggest races in the state this november .. are starting to tighten. here )s a look at a new poll jut released by "probolsky research." lieutenant governor gavin newsom leads republican businessman john cox 44 percent to 39 percent.

17 percent now say they are undecided. senator dianne feinstein leads progressive challenger kevin de leo"n 37 percent to 29. with 34 percent undecided. the white house.. and the media.. are obsessed with figuring out who wrote that "new york times" op/ed. scott mcgrew.. a long list of denials. pence pompeo coats nielsen mattis mulvaney carson mnuchin ..just a few of the people who said it wasn )t me. none of those people will admit to writing the op/ed that questioned whether the president was competant.. and revealed his white house staff was actively working to undermine some of his more irrational orders. donald trump was in montana last night.. at a rather subdued rally by trump standards. he addressed the new york times issue.. calling the author a coward.. and saying.. he feels perfectly competant.

the president also said he would not shut down the government at the end of the month.. in order to get his wall. part of the danger of trying to figure out who wrote the op/ed is we then dont ) take tie to consider how serious the charges in the op/ed are. a senior white house official says the cabinet has at least considered the president is not fit to lead.. and his staff is undermining him to protect the country. the other problem with asking officials if they wrote it.. is of course they )re going to deny it. remember mark felt.. the deputy director of the fbi.. who denied over and over and over he was deep-throat. we now know felt was deep throat. we )ll start the fourth day of hearings for brett kavanaugh. a live look. yesterday )s hearing took an odd twist after new jersey senator corey booker and hawaii senator mazie hirano released emails sent to and from kavanaugh while he worked in the

bush white house. emails that the white house and the republican committee chairman said had to remain confidential. we )re streaming the hearings live on nbc bay area dot com. and just into our newsroom. u-s ambassador nikki haley says she will demand the syrians and the russians cease their attack the last rebel stronghold in syria. this is video released by the russian military of attacks on what they call terrorists. the u-n security council is holding its second emergency session today.. and it )s our turn to lead the council. but russia gets a veto. former trump campaign aide george popodopolous will be senteneced today.. we )ll be monitoring that.. this weekend marks a special milestone for nbc bay area. our )bay area proud ) series ht the 500-story mark. we )re running a special tomorrw night at 6:30. garvin thomas, raj mathai, and janelle wang will share many unforgettable people and

touching moments that have been a part of this series. and in case you missed it - here )s a taste of this week )s story - about a little girl and her dog. that full story is online right now at nbc bay area dot com. and again - our 500 story special airs tomorrow at 6:30.
