880 north of there, we see taillights past the coliseum. 66 up to high, lighter volume and scott, only construction north of here on the 880 to 980 transition ramp. that will be cleared before 5:30. not a big deal for folks in the area. >> thank you much. rambling not a federal offense that's what barry bonds' lawyers say in court documents aimed at clearing the home run king's name. his lawyers trying to convince a judge to throw out the obstruction of justice conviction or grant him a new trial. lawyers accuse prosecutors of grasping at straws to make the verdict stick. specifically, bonds' lawyers question the jury conclusion that bonds gave a deliberately rambling answers when asked if his trainer gave him injectable substances. a hearing set for the end of the month. >> 4:41. coming up precious metals, why the economic downgrade is spurring speculators toward a

the financial crisis of 2008. there didn't appear to be buyers on wall street yesterday. in fact, the only way that folks were trading was down. investors reacting to s&p's decision to downgrade the u.s. credit rating and fears we could be headed for another recession and increasing worries about with europe's debt crisis. all 30 dow components and every stock in the s&p 500 ended lower. financials took the brunt. bank of america stock plunged 20% yesterday. oil is below $80 a barrel for the first time since last october. and in fact, the only thing that did well were treasury bonds and gold which you mentioned hit a record. we'll get data on productivity and traders focused on the fed which holds a one-day meeting though no one expects major policy changes. the dow dropped 634 points to 10,809. that's the worst point drop since december '08. the nasdaq lost 174 points to
