your slowing through livermore also expected but there is an accident westbound at north flynn road. still reported in lanes and that's adding to the slowdown as we descend upon westbound 580 towards the area coming into livermore. livermore and pleasanton moving smoothly. oakland also nice but volume picking up past the coliseum. we'll see slowing on 880 especially as you approach the 8:00 hour. back to you. >>> students in the palo alto unified school district will start school a week and a half earlier as of next year. in a close vote the board voted in favor of this move. the district says it will have students taking finals before the winter break and that will relieve stress. it starts august 16th 2012. >>> meanwhile for those of you who do not like to breathe easier, a new way to share a smoke. scott, are you promoting smoking? >> no, i'm not and i should apologize to you, marla. the story before you originally had to do with asthma but we cut it for time. >>> it would appear there are so few people smoking they need to help find each other so the company blu which makes those

westbound 580 approaching north flynn four-car accident. no delay approaching the accident scene and so far no impact on your drive time if you are coming out of the altamont pass. still about 13 minutes from 205 towards 680 and the dublin interchange. top speeds through pleasanton. bay bridge looks great towards the bay bridge toll plaza. we have been talking about this, though. starting this morning, highway 50 is closed at echo summit. they are doing repair work to the barriers in that area so it's going to be closed for the next two weeks and then following that for the six weeks after that but it's going to be one way traffic control in effect. it will be open for memorial day weekend though if you are planning a trip to tahoe. here's a live look at highway 50 at ski run where there's not a lot going on at this time of the morning. nimitz 880 through oakland looks great past the coliseum. a little hard to see, i realize, this time of the morning. it's dark but you can see the headlights going southbound. so far so of good down towards

an accident still there on the shoulder westbound 580 at north flynn road. the reason that might help you out, if you're west of there, things are a little lighter so we do see the slowdown heading through central livermore into pleasanton but not quite as bad as we typically see because some folks held back some of the out of the altamont pass. 17-minute drive out towards the dublin interchange. 580 is smooth all the way over towards hayward. here of some of your approaches to the bay bridge toll plaza and a nice, smooth drive there as well. there's a disabled van on the upper deck. the chopper has scanned the entire route from the east bay and didn't see any major slowing so we trust that the bridge crew has taken care of that. the low clouds not an issue for your commute so the toll plaza is where our concern is right now. there's not a major backup and no metering lights registering yet. i'll get that final check with chp. yep, no metering lights so a smooth drive over across into the city. we'll watch as things continue to develop and, laura, we'll send

paul flynn thank you for joining us today here in r.t. so one hundred seventy nine british lives lost ten billion pounds spent was the war in iraq really worth it. no no it wasn't no celebrations here there were no parades or marches or flags out to mark the end of the war i mean sadly it's been eight years as you say one hundred seventy nine british dead and all we see through achieved one rotten government with another rotten government the little question the telling we've seen was a monster and the world is a better place without him but the replacement maliki is in all kinds of trouble at the moment and it appears that the big the whole of the country is falling into another morass corruption abuse and he's find it very difficult to control the system. there's a sense in britain. that it was the wrong war that we went into the inquiry hasn't reported yet it is these called boarding because when the war was decided. british parliament there were over two hundred m.p.'s voted against which is one hurdle we very rarely go to war without

flynn says the war is a blight on british and street. all we seem to receive is we replaced one rotten government with another rotten government there's no question but said it was seen as a monster and the world is a better place without him but the replacement. is in all kinds of trouble at the moment the whole of the country is falling into another morass of corruption and abuse and he's find it very difficult to control the system so i'm afraid. there's a saying. that it was the wrong war that we went in to be inquiry has been recorded yet it is these recalls when the war was decided. british parliament there were over two hundred m.p.'s of voted against which is unheard of we very rarely go to war without the full party of consent of the british people and in this case there were great reservations that we were committing our soldiers to a battle to see their lives destroyed in the service of a foreign country it was bush's war britain needn't have had a party later a tall with a final tally of eight years one hundred seventy nine d

iraq a safer place with terror attacks still happening there on a regular basis british and people flynn says the war is a stain on british history. you always see we were praised one rotten government with another government there's no question. the world is a better place without him but the replacement. is in all kinds of trouble at the moment the whole of the country is falling into another round of corruption and he's trying to be difficult to control the system. there's a saying. that it was the wrong. choir refashion reporter yeah it is these recalls when the war was decided by. british parliament and there were over two hundred m. he's voted against which is we very rarely go to war without the full hearted consent of the british people and in this case they were great reservations that we were committing. is a battle to see their lives destroyed in the service of a foreign country it was bush's war britain needed to head a party later told with a final tally over eight years one hundred seventy nine dead without any great achievement is one mark one of the woods moments in our h

the military has begun to incorporate these techniques and flynn will be promoted to a job within the office of the director of national intelligence where he'll be tasked with transforming the way intelligence is gathered, analyzed and utilized. that article tells just about everything about how this all came about and how it was carried out. but the one thing that isn't really hit hard enough in my opinion is the men and women in the military who do the job for us every single day. sometimes we fight about spending in this body, we fight about who gets the money, but the one thing we should never fight about is the money that goes to our armed forces, our men and women who do risk their lives every single day, and my hat goes off to those who are in the command that got osama bin laden and the navy seals that got the job done, even though their helicopter failed to work, they went in, 40 of them, risked their lives knowing that they might not come out, they got osama bin laden, they got 22 others, they got his body out of there and they got back to freedom without any casualties. so

>> we've seen this before, and people lapse into what erroll flynn once called my wicked, wicked wayswe need a more energy efficient lifestyles and have ways of conserving energy as top of the mind issue. hope flywheel fully we'll change our ways. >> how unusual is that, 44 days of consecutive pain at the pump? >> the third largest streak in u.s. history. in april alone, what we paid for gasoline in this country, in this region, costs us almost $200 than it cost us three aprils ago. we were paying about $400 or about 113% higher than we paid two years ago. that drained a lot of budgets that had a devastating impact on household budgets, and our financial wherewithal and our sense of economic well-being. >> any anticipated driving numbers out on the roads as we head into memorial day weekend? >> it's kind of hard to say. we've been here before. we've seen the scenario before, and you have to go back to 2008 when gasoline prices were this high and people didn't travel as much, throughout all of the five major travel holidays of the year. this may be a repeat. >> john townsend, thanks fo

founder of flynn.l from greenwood, indiana. he asks, can i take my money from a 401(k) and put it in an i.r.a. or a cd without paying taxes? doug. >> the interesting thing about his question is that he said i.r.a. or cd. >> right. >> so you can take from a 401(k) into an i.r.a. and then the i.r.a. is the vehicle, you can then purchase an i.r.a. cd, mutual fund or anything you want. but if you take it from the 401(k) and say can i have a cd, that is not a rollover and would be taxable. what you are looking for is an i.r.a. cd. >> i wonder why he wants to do that, too. ask yourself, my friend. >>> another question. i am 21 years old, and i have over $7,000 in debt with hospital bills, credit card debt and a student loan. what would happen if i filed for bankruptcy? she's young. >> oh, i hate to hear this. it's such a pervasive problem, though, these days. so my advice to vanessa is this. yeah -- it's possible. you could declare bankruptcy. but that's sticking with you for seven to ten years, depending on

and founder of flynn zichlt to.rystal in tucson, arizona. she asks, i've been paying on private student loans for over three years now. my loans have doubled in amount. the company won't let me consolidate the three loans and i can't get a private loan to consolidate them either. what should i do? . >> manisha. >> crystal is in a pickle as are a lot of people with current private loans. there's just not one easy answer. when crystal says her loans have doubled in the last three years which shocks me. that tells me either she has an incredibly high interest rate or maybe there was some late payments in there that caused some penalty charges. the other thing that struck me she wants to consolidate, i want to make sure she knows that doesn't make the payments collect -- it -- monthly payments will be smaller but over the long run she'll pay the same amount. bottom line, talk to your lender, see if you can work out some kind of pseudo income base for repayment plan. two, investigate jobs that may as an employee benefit

westbound 580 at north flynn and there are some brake lights behind it coming out of the altamont pass. more traffic coming up. back to you. >> thank you. >>> historic flooding in the deep south. the critical role national guard troops will take in the disaster. also ahead: >> i knew that there was a problem and i knew i needed to check it out. >> he tackled the passenger who stormed a cockpit. this morning, what a judge denied for the suspect. >>> and why more bay area couples are getting divorced. that and much more when we come back. ,, we spend a lot of time together. well mainly in traffic. i'm serious. we've been together, what, a super long time. true. and at first it was all business, you know, i'd take him here, i'd take him there. everywhere. and over the years, we've really bonded. sure. why else would you always buy me chevron with techron? 'cause we need gas. i think it's more than that. i think that you care about me. you're a good friend. best friends? um, uh, yes, best friends. yeah.

the a's started out smiling and profiling as the great rick flynn would say. tyson ross pulled after 7 pitches because he pulled his oblique muscle. god knows how long he may be out. the twins teed off on the a's bullpen. the twins would romp by a final of 11-1. jason giambi homered three times. not bad for a guy who had three hits all year and was hitting a buck 15. at 40, giambi the second oldest player to hit three bombs in a game. >>> the sharks spent the day trying to figure out what went wrong last night in vancouver and how to fix all of that before the playoff series tomorrow night. the sharks lost 7-3 with the roof caving in during the third. the canucks scored four times in the third period taking advantage of repeated power play opportunities. the sharks are being outworked and outplayed by vancouver and that has to change if the men in teel are going to have any chance to win the series. >> we had a good team meeting. not any one called out individually, not usually is. you know if you played well or not this time of year. >>> punch you with the fa

flynn -- in fact, blood itself contain all of the humorous.hink i will bypass the question because i'm reluctant to do that because i don't have a good -- i'm not sure how to add to that site don't want to be wrong about it. i'll give my card and look it up and tell you for sure. >> that goes back to speak it has to be related because in the humors, melancholy, melancholy, which is an early term for depression is associated with having too much black bile, right? if someone is choleric come is that detention have your leaning towards one humor over the other. so very shortly that expression related to humors but i want to take a little bit more exactly what was first used. >> lincoln against initially referred to the hypo, the hypo being hypochondria, referring to liver and access black bile and melancholy. was that the origin of that term? >> in lincoln's time, of course. there is still, plenty of humors continues well into the 19th century. in fact, george washington as we know was blood let. very possibly historians of science would say was

joining us now, phil flynn, senior market analyst and fox business contributor. and we need to talk to you sometime when we have good news about gas prices. we always talk to you when they are going up and up. >> right. it now -- now i have great news for you. i think our long-term gasoline gas price nightmare is over. i think we've hit the top for gas and diesel prices and jet fuel and i thinks that it. i think we're going to see prices start coming back down. so this is like a bad dream. and we have finally woke up and we're going to see relief at the pump very soon. and great gift for mother's day, you've just become the most popular person here. and how much of this -- we saw oil dropped yesterday and is it tied in that and, if so, how low will the prices go? >> i think absolutely. one of the most important factor is the price of crude oil. and when you fell from nearly $115 a barrel and now back toward $90 a barrel, that is an immediate impact at the pump. now you wouldn't see prices fall down overnight, but i would say after the weekend, you'll see prices c

joining me is a personal finance author and doug flynn, a certified financial adviser.t. leonard from virginia beach, virginia, are asking us, what are the pros and cons of consolidating debt, and what impact does this have on a individual's credit score? good question. >> well, the pros are by consolidating in the shorter run a lower monthly payment, and one bill so it can feel simpler and more manageable, and the cons are that the one monthly payment when you add up the interest can result in significantly higher costs to you overall, and oftentimes when you consolidate, you are moving to a secured loan situation. oftentimes people do it with credit cards not realizing it was unsecured debt. and in terms of the effect on the credit score, and consolidating has an effect on the credit score, and the best tool i have seen is the fico score estimator on bankrate.com where you can play around with the scenarios and put in the consolidation and see in your particular scenario what happens. >> and it helps to pay it down. thank you. our next question from jim in national ci

and founder of flynn zito. let's get right to the first question.a, california asks my husband lost his job two years ago. we sold our house. we have drained our savings. so we took $250,000 from our retirement account. our real earnings were about $40,000 in odd jobs. is withdrawing from your retirement account considered earnings for that year? doug? >> this is horrible. >> yeah. >> first of all, it is. it's going to catapult them into the highest tax bracket. they have 35% federal, probably 10% on the california and 10% penalty for not being 59 1/2. they're losing probably half that money. i have no idea why they would take that money out in a lump sum, unless they needed that money in a lump sum. if you take it out, you do have 60 days to put it back in without taxes or penalties. unless you're spending that today, roll that back in and avoid that and look at possibly living off that on a monthly basis that will lower your tax bill. >> thanks, doug. the next question is from todd in hope, alaska. i've accumulated a growing sum in family health s

when errol flynn played in my view the definitive robin hood, he as robin hood stole taxes -- >> guest rand is a victim of a false legend. she did not realize that robin hood was actually not stealing from the rich and giving the loot to the poor but taking back what belongs to people that the taxpayers -- i mean, the tax-takers have taken from them, so you're dead right. >> host: next telephone call, river view, florida, hi, caller. >> caller: hi, can you hear me. hello. >> host: yes, sir, we can hear you. >> caller: thank you. when i was wondering -- i'm a mark twain and has he read any mark twain writings especially what i think is as important from his writers from earth and the adam and eve diaries? i think he gives a lot of insight about human nature. >> guest: i grew up on mark twain. when i was a kid, i was 9, 10, 11 years old. i read huckleberry finn, tom sawyer in hungarian. i became a fan. and i continued reading all kinds of american fiction. zane gray, i must have read 40 zane gray novels. i read all of the earl stanley -- in fact, my nickname in budapest when i was only 9
