VELSHI: Welcome back. Prosecutors have called him a walking billboard for BALCO. Testimony finally underway in Barry Bonds' perjury trial. A federal prosecutor says it's ridiculous and unbelievable that Barry Bonds thought he was taking flaxseed oil and arthritis cream when his personal trainer gave him steroids. Bonds, the all-time home run king, pleaded not guilty to making false statements to a grand jury investigating the BALCO lab in the Bay Area. A judge in New Jersey says that Republican governor Chris Christie's cuts to school budgets are unconstitutional. Christie cut education aid by $800 million last year. The judge ruled that the budget especially hurts poor school districts. It was all in a report that was sent to the state supreme court after education activists sued over that budget. The attorney general's office says the Christie administration made the cuts it had to make in dire times.</s>VELSHI: He felt that that $800 million could be used elsewhere.</s>ROMANS: That's right. Or, he didn't have it in the first place to spend. Rising fuel prices making it even more expensive to fly. A spokesman for United and Continental Airlines says they are raising base fares by $10 round trip on many U.S. routes. It's the eighth fare hike attempt so far this year by U.S. carriers.</s>VELSHI: Calls for a kid-free zone on flights are getting louder.</s>CHETRY: I have kids and I agree.</s>VELSHI: We've told you many travelers want airlines to have a designated area where children can sit on planes, maybe for a quiet and less bumpy flight. Now a couple polls are confirming it, showing the majority of fliers would like a section set aside for families or adult-only cabins.</s>VELSHI: Top stories coming your way in just 90 seconds.
