Reporter the New York Times connected stanford to the name lennay kekua. He says he is dismayed they didnt factcheck the story earlier. If someone had told me manti teos girlfriend was a stanford grad i would say absolutely not. How would i not know anything about this. Tragic car accident, leukemia, i would have wanted to write an article about that because it would be a great story. Reporter and yet another strange twist, our sister station in los angeles is reporting that there could be a connection to teos friend in palm dale and the friend may be implicated in the hoax. And just when you thought the story couldnt get anymore bizarre, someone claiming to be the girlfriend started sending tweets last night, saying that teo would address questions about their relationship today. Notre dame has said teo was the victim of the hoax. Smith bennett and others arent so sure. As much as i believe this happens to people all the time, because ive seen it on tv, i dont think the general public will believe that and i think for the most part theyll rip him, which is kind of fair. Reporter and teo has released a written statement that reads, quote, to realize that i was the victim of what was apparently someones sick joke and constant lies was and is painful and humiliating. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been. In retrospect, i obviously should have been much more cautious. And teo is expected to address the media in person. But so far there is no word on when that will happen. Live in palo alto, monte francis, nbc bay area news.

San francisco, john, has been working hard to get its data out there, out into the world, where it can be useful on places like yelp. Many cities either hide their data or at best dont bother to make the format something that people can use. But some americans cities like San Francisco are pushing hard to make databases easier to read in a common computer language. Expect more of that in the future. All right. Fortune has a new list this week of best places to work. Google topped it. Number one in many ways. No surprise that google got tops.

If youre milwaukee, marla, that sounds like a great statistic. But were used to dominating the top 20. So only four this year. Not bad, though. Overall. Thank you, scott.

Not even baseball season and a lot to talk about. Surf is way up in half boon bay this sunday. Mavericks international or rather, Mavericks Invitational organizers say an incoming swell should deliver powerful 30 to 40foot waves this weekend. For the first time in two years, 24 surfers from around the world are now on notice. The big wave competition kicks off at 8 00 a. M. Sunday. The beach that fans usually flock to, though, will be closed. Law enforcement will be blocking access to revent a repeat of fan washouts when waves knocked spectators off their feet. There will be a festival with big screens. And updates, of course, on the 49er playoff game will be provided. Sonkts are you going to head out saturday night . Youre going to be surfing or sunday morning . Im not a water girl. Im going to be on the couch. Exactly. Im going to be kaepernicking. Why wouldnt you . Strong. Good guns. Meteorologist christina loren. I dont know what to say. Speechless. Lets get to it this morning. If you wanted to hit the beach, we dont want you to go into the water. But its going to be warm enough for a bikini, maybe some swim trunks out there on the warm sand. Weve got a really good looking weekend shaping up. 54 degrees in livermore. Look at your warming temperatures. Just a Beautiful Day shaping up, except for the one wrench in our perfect forecast. Spare the air day. Unfortunately, unhealthy air quality in the north bay, central bay and east bay. But were doing okay in the South Central bay and south bay itself. So temperatures today much warmer than we have seen in about two weeks. 60 degrees in livermore. One of the coolest spots here, as we had that fog creep in from the delta will keep your temperatures down in places in the north bay. Also fairfield and livermore, fog to start. But here in the south bay, look at our temperatures. 65 in gilroy today. 66 in san jose. And 66 degrees in santa cruz. High pressure is going to continue to build as we head through your friday. An even warmer day ahead. Were going to see more of the mid to upper 60s, be out of the 50s tomorrow. I think its safe to say, our cold snap has concluded. Which is great news. Because we can all use a break. Look at this. Saturday, 72 degrees. The average high in santa cruz is 63 degrees. And i want to talk about whats causing those waves. Weve got this massive storm system out in the eastern pacific. Theyre actually yeah, really watching this thing. Its not expected to make landfall anywhere. Even not even going to take a ride on the jet stream and maintain its organization. But what it is doing, its driving in these very substantial swells. So it all works out like this. As we get into your sunday, its going to be down right dangerous to get into the water. High surf advisory in place. However, this is what were expecting. 20 to 35foot waves. And long period waves, as well. 20 to 25 seconds long. Very dangerous to all swimmers and boaters out there. So much safer for you to stay about 100 feet away from the actual waves. That is what im suggesting. If you can, id say just stay out of the water all together as we head throughout the next few days with that swell coming in. Monday to tuesday, we stay nice and comfortable. Then it gets interesting. Wednesday into thursday of next week, on shore flow comes back into the mix. That means were going to see more cloud cover and were looking at some showers as we finish off the week next week. Next weekend, looking pretty rainy, both saturday and sunday. We will keep you updated. Back to you, marla and john. Im sure youre not the only one who has been speechless around christina before. Sorry about that, christina. Wellsaid.
