This morning and then i think by the afternoon starts to taper off partly cloudy skies still some widely scattered showers temperatures will be cooler in the 50s and 60s. Lets check the roads with elizabeth. Thank you, lawrence. Out the door we go. So far your drive times in the bay area look okay. Do want to let you know there are chain requirements, however, if you are traveling up to the sierra, but for right now on interstate 80 closer to home carquinez bridge to the maze, only about 19 minutes now so no big delays now at richmond and berkeley. Some parts of the north bay getting rain already. Other parts still dry including this Silicon Valley commute. Westbound 237 still looks clear from milpitas all the way into sunnyvale. Same thing with the san mateo bridge.

Mobile 2 drove through oakland on the nimitz no showers yet but it is coming so right now you can bet the weather rush. Northbound 880 still moving at the speed limit for the most part only 15 minutes between 238 and the maze. Southbound also looks good so far into hayward. So they have not activated the metering li
Be able to get Birth Control as part of their insurance plans. So were going to be Building Support around the country. I tell you, ive heard from a lot of young women who find it difficult to believe that in the year 2014 were debating about Birth Control. I think its very important as part of their Overall Health care that they get access to Birth Control from their insurance. Its important to note and people didnt really talk about this but part of i think all of Birth Control is obviously health care for women of childbearing age. But 58 of the people who take Birth Control pills for example, are not even taking it for pregnancy prevention, they are taking it for other things. Other health conditions.
