and satellite and radar showing that one storm system impacting southern california, and nice counter clock-wise circulation as it moves off to the southeast, and back behind it, another storm system, just off the coast, and it will not be impacting our forecast, it will remain off the coastline, so the rain has ended, and yes, the rainfall has ended, at least for now. and speaking of rainfall, let's take a look at how much we picked up for the season since july 1. close to 19-inches of rainfall in santa rosa. that puts us at 144% of normal. and close to 13 inches of rainfall in san francisco. and 153% of normal. and 139% of normal in oakland. and 93% of normal in san jose. today's highs are expected to be in the lower to mid-50s across the bay area. but it is the lows that we want to talk about. mid-30s in concord and livermore. 34 in fairfield. 32 in napa as well as santa rosa and mid-30s in vallejo and san rafael, and the lower 40s in oakland and fremont. as well as in san jose. and 42 is the overnight low in san francisco. here is a look at the five-day forecast. a mix of sun and

california, in the wake of the system we're gone to see a nicer day tomorrow. could reduce risibility. by the afternoon, mostly sunny conditions and than the forecast models not showing any rate all the way for next weekend. i will let you more more coming up ahead. >> in the new shop owners and chinatowns a surveillance cameras that they install this past year have deterred crime, they want to use the same system at the recreation center. kron4 boxes to the leaders who are trying to fight petty crime in the area. >> pearl jam with the asian the advisory committee on crime since as the center does not have a surveillance system, the suspects in these cases have not been arrested. gen is hoping to change that in the new future with the chinatown community. we have over 2000 people coming in every date for the center. many of them are small children and seniors. we would like to have security camera and system at least six inside, or six outside are not more. we are implementing a camera system throughout the entire chinatown. with many merchants installing camer

as a californian, i can look to the university of california university system which over 50 years ago decided that we would dedicate an incredible amount of investment in those institutions around science and engineering. but no coincidence then in the backyard of that investment grew google and apple and the technology that has changed the world works. so i think that his speech was very much about a commitment to the principal pies of -- principles of who we are as a country based on our history and moving it forward, saying not only should we be committed to innovation because it's the right thing to do in terms of progress but it will actually allow us to be more efficient as a country, a country facing great economic challenges and it will allow us to be competitive in a world market n. that way i i think he really did pull together a theme that is existent around a perspective on vision but also on what should be our practical and priorities to improve our standing in this world and be able to compete, as he said. because i think as much as anything the point that the president

system. california is the birth place of technology with some of the best products invested right here but somehow that stopped sort of -- short of sacramento. >> you'd think there would be access to best and brightest people having to do information technology stit auditor warned the governor about efforts to modernize computers, the project started in 2006 is four years behind schedule and top two leaders just quit. >> there are significant concerns about how success thfl project is going to be. >> the director says they'll be hiring replace manies and the project should be back on track. >> we're doing our best to move the state forward wex think we're doing a good job of that. >> this project is part of a long history. prot jekts often fall short and cost more than anticipated. in 1994 then governor pete wilson scrapped a computer project after the state spent $50 million on a project that didn't work n 2006 a $1.5 million project supposed to better track child support payments. >> i would note we're working with the three top vendors in the united states. and this is expense skbrif does worry

if you think about the -- about climate change, about the future of the state of california and our transportation systems, if you go to enough regional government meetings and talk about regional airport expansion and you have that kind of perspective, trust me, this is huge. it has been my honor, my pleasure to have been part of it over the last eight years. thank you. director ford: ok, do i have a motion? it has been moved and seconded. all those in favor? you can abstain. ok. all right, we have 3 ayes and one abstention. >> item 15 is a resolution of appreciation for director mark church, who was unable to be here. >> i have a resolution to read for director church. where is mark church is san mateo county supervisor has served as the board of directors at the trans the joint power authority since 2009, representing the joint powers board and where is the trans the joint powers authority has greatly benefited from the experience and knowledge that mark church has brought to the decisions of the authority and where is the accomplishments of the joint powers authority would not have been possible witho

a few high clouds down into northern california, but we'll remain underneath this high pressure system all week long, leaving us with some dense morning fog here and there, but dry and warm conditions expected to continue through the week. again, after 20-degree warmup from where we were last weekend, we'll enjoy this warming trend while it lasts and while the low clouds give way to mostly sunny conditions here by midday. some of the interior valleys will hang on to the fog through about midday. again, taking a quick look at where we are rainfall wise, since we dry out for the week, we're still well above normal and that's probably a good thing because it looks like this dry pattern may continue for the next week at least and possibly beyond that. plenty of snow in the highcountry. again, i was whining about the rainy hit this week up in tahoe. not what you want to see, but we'll look for that to be gone here, as they look for mostly sunny skies to continue in the mountains and there's plenty of snow out there. shouldn't be any shortage of that. didn't notice any rocks or anything stic

system that is set up for lawyers to fail? what were the findings that you made as a result of looking at public defender offices throughout california? >> i'm going to speak more to structural aspects of it. i think amy is speaking more of the cultural and human aspects of the job. our system as you know is based on the theory that any accused person who comes to court is presumed innocent. they are protected by that preassumption. that's why, in fact, we provide council for an indigent person whoke not afford counsel. unfortunately, it paints a rather discouraging picture because i found that there is a fundamental disconnect between that theory and actual practice in california and that disconnect occurs because the system, the indigent defense system is funded by local politicians. now these are public officials who must make decisions. they must choose among many worthy, competing concerns that are vying for those scarce taxpayer dollars and not surprising, most of them or at least many of them assume most defendants are guilty, they tend to make decisions about indigent defense systems based on the presumption of guilt. that ha
