Our Glorious Adversarial System of JusticeApr 18, 2012 by Ugh
It is, quite frankly, astonishing, not so much for the actual issues reported by the Post but for what's not there, as the investigation they're reporting on seemed extremely narrow and focused, as if the Justice Department/FBI didn't want to look any closer for fear of what they might find (i.e., thousands, if not tens of thousands, of wrongly convicted defendants across the country due to flawed FBI forensic work). Even more damning, of the cases that they did investigate and discover flawed evidence, they failed to inform defendant and/or defense counsel of the issues. Also troubling, while FBI labs may have high standards for a match, it appears that when it came to actual testimony given by FBI personnel, they were basically allowed to say their conclusions were much more certain than the actual scientific evidence warranted, with little or no consequences.
The Post follows up today with another piece. Noting that, in the "in the government's high-profile terrorism trial against Omar Abdel Rahman, the 'blind sheik'.... Frederic Whitehurst, a chemist and lawyer who worked in the FBI's crime lab, testified that he was told by his superiors to ignore findings that did not support the prosecution's theory of the bombing." Oh rly? And then, "After the Justice Department's inspector general began a review of Whitehurst's claims, Attorney General Janet Reno and FBI Director Louis J. Freeh decided to launch a task force to dig through thousands of cases involving discredited agents, to ensure that 'no defendant's right to a fair trial was jeopardized,. as one FBI official promised at a congressional hearing. The task force took nine years to complete its work and never publicly released its findings. Not the results of its case reviews of suspect lab work. Not the names of the defendants who were convicted as a result. And not the nature or scope of the forensic problems it found."
And: "The documents and interviews tell a story of how the Justice Department's promise to protect the rights of defendants became in large part an exercise in damage control that left some prisoners locked away or in the dark for years longer than necessary. The Justice Department continues to decline to release the names of defendants in the affected cases."
And: "The chief of the lab's explosives unit, for example, 'repeatedly reached conclusions that incriminated the defendants without a scientific basis' in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, Bromwich wrote. The head of toxicology lacked judgment and credibility and overstated results in the 1994 Simpson investigation. After the 1993 World Trade Center attack, the key FBI witness 'worked backward,' tailoring his testimony to reach the result he wanted. Other agents 'spruced up' notes for trial, altered reports without the author's permission or failed to document or confirm their findings."
But: "Task force participants said [AG Janet] Reno signed off on the decision allowing prosecutors to decide what to disclose, because normal legal and constitutional requirements give prosecutors that discretion."
Well that's nice.
I think another large piece of evidence that the adversarial system of justice that operated in the United States, which is constantly defended by people who should know better as the "best" method at arriving at the truth, is fundamentally flawed by creating an "us vs. them" mentality on the part of prosecutors and FBI/police, whose overriding goal becomes to convict whoever happens to be sitting in the accused's chair.

I agree that what is described by the article is a huge travesty. I disagree that it's an indictment of the adversarial system.
The adversarial system, or any system, is only as good as the people who are working in it. The adversarial system is based on rules that weren't followed by the Justice Department or the FBI - rules about careful forensic analysis, about disclosing exculpatory evidence to defendants, etc. You can't really blame a system when the rules of the system are being corrupted.
What would your system be, Ugh, for determining the guilt of criminal defendants and trying to figure out what to do with them once they were found guilty?
I've had the occasion to know many lawyers and judges. Many of them are exceptionally fair minded, competent people. Some aren't. I also know people in mediation. The same is true. Psychologists? Same. Teachers? Same. Physicians? Same. In every area of life, there are people who understand what the purpose of their work should be and how to do it, and there are people who are corrupt, or lazy, or bad at their work, or distracted, or sloppy, etc. Often professionals have the power to ruin people's lives.
The difference with politicians and government and much of the legal system is this: if enough people give a sh#t, people can be held accountable. Unfortunately, not that many people do care.
Really, Ugh, what is the system you'd suggest and what procession of saints are you going to have run it to make it perfect?

ugh, I'd love to front page this or maybe the one after this. Let's chat about this a bit via gmail.
Sapient, the argument I see is not that we want a more perfect system, we need some more acknowledgements of the problematic aspects of the adversarial system, possibly structural. If this doesn't happen, the system will, I think, lose legitimacy. I'm sure that the people invested in the system feel that it is fair minded, but when confronted with the problems of the system, there seems to be no attempt to attenuate the worst excesses of the system. Maybe I'm responding too much to anecdote, but the resistance to reexamining DNA evidence in a lot of places, and the continued reliance on eyewitness testimony, despite reams of studies showing it to be the most unreliable, suggest that the system cannot handle criticism.
Not directly related, but I'm a fan of Jerry Kang, who has this article and this article about how the narrative of the Supreme Court and the Japanese American internment is self serving and fails to acknowledge the failure of the courts. His work on implicit bias is also quite good.

lj, thanks for soliciting my opinion. I wouldn't have much to say about North Carolina's Racial Justice Act other than that I am glad for it. The death penalty (as well as the penal system) is extremely racist. I am more a fan of rehabilitative than retributive justice, and the death penalty doesn't allow for rehabilitation. Obviously, given that the system is run by the "people," any racism of the "people" taints the system.
I'm happy for a critique (and suggestions for a modification) of the adversarial system. I'm not finding that with Ugh's posts (or his failure to respond to my comments). He basically concludes every one of his posts with a sentiment, whether stated or not, that "we're fucked!" He offers little solution.

When you hear the word zipline, you may think of monkeys screeching and tropical birds darting through the air as thrill-seekers soar on a silver wire through a tropical jungle. But did you know you can get the same thrill close to home, with breathtaking views of Mount McLoughlin, the Table Rocks and the rim of Crater Lake from hundreds of feet above the trees? It's called Rogue Valley Zipline, and it's easily within an hour's drive from Ashland.
Owners Lindsey and Jason Rice-Meilicke believe it's the longest zipline in the Pacific Northwest. Situated south of Gold Hill on the Rice-Meilickes' property off Kane Creek Road, their tour offers five ziplines in a progressive order, from easy start to thrilling finish. The zipline tour is fully instructional and allows you to walk away a ziplining pro. For more details, visit their website at rvzipline.com or call them at 1-800-ZIPN (9476).
Although ziplining seems dangerous, complicated and not for the weak-minded, it's as simple as walking or breathing. There's no need to use gloves to slow yourself, and if you forget to do something, you won't go crashing down into the trees as a result. Rogue Valley Zipline aims to provide high-tech, worry-free flying.
"The people here are amazing," says Greta Zeve, age 12. "It's not just the ziplining that's fun, but the people make the opportunity really fun, too."
Rogue Valley Zipline is located at 9450 Old Stage Road, Central Point, but customers meet in Gold Hill to take a shuttle to the site. Tours must be reserved in advance, and customers are required to sign waivers. Cost is $78, with a $10 discount for those under age 18.

Earn up to $50,000 first year!
PAM Transport offers a great pay package for new truck drivers completing the Driver Solutions company-paid CDL training program and starting an entry-level truck driver job. Shown below are some highlighted details of the driver pay package.
Mileage Pay Options
Truck drivers are typically paid on the miles driven. PAM Transport offers both solo and team driving opportunities. All positions are OTR. Starting mileage pay rate with PAM Transport depends upon the Driver's Choice scholarship program chosen. That's because the Driver's Choice program offers several options to pay for training with different levels of paid CDL training. The amount PAM Transport pays toward the truck driving school tuition determines the starting mileage rate. Automatic pay increases are built in to the pay scale at specific employment intervals. Depending on the scholarship program you choose, you could earn up to $50,000 your first year.
After completing the online application, a recruiter will review the options and help determine the best choice for you.
Additional Truck Driver Pay
Additional pay will be provided to PAM Transport truck drivers in a number of situations, and the amount paid depends upon factors determined by the company. These include:
- Company safety bonus
- Loading or unloading freight
- Extra drop off or pick up
- Layover
- Canadian border crossing
Over the Road Training Pay
After completing the CDL training at a truck driving school, new PAM Transport truck drivers will report to PAM Transport for company orientation and over-the-road (OTR) training. This is paid on-the-job training as they continue to "learn the ropes" of becoming a truck driver. During this time, student drivers are paid a salary of $300 per week until training is completed and the student driver is upgraded to a "first seat" driver.
$1,200 Sign-On Bonus
For a limited time, PAM Transport is providing a sign-on bonus for all new drivers that complete the company-sponsored CDL training program. To take advantage of the $1,200 sign-on bonus, you must begin the truck driving school during the eligible training period. Consult with your driver agent after you apply for details.

Lovely, Nancy.
Nancy, beautiful, thank-you. And I HOPE you are doing OK.
I love it Nancy. Hope is sure what keeps us going.
Love, -Pam
Love it. Thinking of you and your family always, Nancy.
I am thinking of all of you often. My family is staying strong and trying to keep the humour despite continual challenges of life, such as my broken arm, my son's whiplash and just a week ago one of my daughter's fractured a vertebrae snowboarding. Thankfully there was no spinal cord damage. Ironically Shannon is an orthopedic nurse and ended up on her own ward. Tamia, my youngest daughter, has headed to Kelowna to go pick her sister up (with a bed made in the back of my GMC Jimmy). She will be bringing her home to me for awhile, so it will be the broken arm mom looking after the broken back kid!
I have been blessed with the help and support of neighbours and co-workers. Tamia tells me that my broken arm has allowed me to accept help instead of trying to do it all! Really hard to snowblow or shovel with one arm! Those out there widowed and living on their own, will know the challenges!
I will at some point be able to physically, (getting better at one armed typing, though) and mentally return to the board more often.
Oh my, this is much more than a thought!
Here is something to think about:-
"No one cries very much unless something of real worth is lost. Tears are the jewels of remembrance – sad, but glistening with the beauty of the past." - James Peterson
Lainy and Jen (and all other believers), I continue to get signs from Doug; like a couple of occasions when I felt "the cat" crawling in bed with me to find no cat at all, dimes in funny locations, turned off lights turned back on and twice recently finding the toilet seat up in the morning! But my dear Shanny while lying in her hospital bed reached for her phone to text a friend and Doug's picture was displaying. She said that picture is in her phone but she has to go into her pictures to bring it up. He was there to tell her he is with her and she will be okay! And so will I, a day at a time. Hugs to all
Nancy, Nancy...first of all what the heck is your family doing to each other?? Sure hope you are all on the Quick mend now!
I am so happy that Doug is with you! I tell you it is what gets me through knowing that Teddy is here. I keep a log and I have 48 entries from Dec. 6, 2010. When I feel lonely I read the log. Now that the Chirstmas music is over for December Teddy is back on the 'oldies' station. See, the thing is that our songs just don't come on they come on at certain times. Like, when I am meeting up with a friend, with the kids, special things I am doing. I also have felt a pressure on my arms and legs when I am in bed at night. These guys have their tricks don't they and we are mighty glad about it. Your phone story reminded me of a year ago when my Granddaughter was in Israel. She took 400 pictures and one had the biggest ORB over her head. Last May I turned on the computer and there it was. I had not brought it up in 2 months and out of 400 pictures it kept popping up on the computer. After about 15 minutes I said, "OK Teddy bear I know its you" and it stopped. Never has done it again. Another thing he loves to do is turn my TV sound up and down. Beyond all that I am so glad to hear you are doing your new normal so well aside from some broken bones! Very good to see your smiling face on here!!!
Dear Nancy,
I am a believer and I think it is awesome you hear from Doug. I hope you and your family have speedy recoveries. Take care and hope to hear from you in the future.
Love, -Pam
I don't know how I missed this thread until now. Nancy - I'm glad to hear that despite everything going on, you are doing okay. I hope the arm (and back, and neck) all heal quickly and you get your healthy family back very soon! I think of your family often, and get little tidbits from Tamia's facebook on how you are all doing. I'm happy to hear that Doug is around you and your family - it's a huge blessing, and definitely makes the loss a bit easier to bear. I hope you are all coping okay - I imagine the process is very similar to my own families which means plenty of ups and downs, but I know for us, having each other to lean on makes the tough days a little easier.
Thinking of you all.
Hi Jen, Took Shanny back to Kelowna for a doctor's appt. and for her 28th birthday yesterday. She had a nice birthday with her friends but had a hard time realizing it was her first birthday without her dad and seeing only mom's name on the card was difficult. She is feeling some improvement in her back. Devin is back snowboarding so I guess his neck is much better; he's actually taking an avalanche course right now. My cast came off last week and I started physio today. So, we are all on the mend and I continue to bubble wrap Tamia!
It would be great if we could meet up someday. Maybe in the spring or summer Tamia and I will do a Calgary trip. She still has good friends there from when she lived there. Would love to stop and see your dad's bench on the way. Hugs to you and your mom. Nancy

This is a test appliance for GNOME 3.0 : . It uses GNOME 3.0 packages on top of openSUSE 11.4.
there is one predefined user "tux" with password "linux" (same password for root).
You can keep this image updated by running "zypper up" as root, in a terminal
Please note SUSE Studio "Testdrive" feature will not work with this image (which requires openGL), only classic GNOME interface will be visible under TestDrive, not GNOME-Shell.
Chances are high GNOMEShell will not work in virtualized environments (VMWare / Virtualbox) ; if you want to test or install GNOME3 on a real system , please use Live image from http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ .
Starting with VirtualBox 4.0.8, GNOME Shell should work properly (you need appliance release 1.3.0 minimum). Any issue with VirtualBox should be reported on http://virtualbox.org/
To install live image, add liveinstall parameter as boot parameter in boot menu.
Downloads are no longer available for this appliance, as it is based on an OS version that we no longer support.
You can clone the appliance, then upgrade and build with a current OS version.

Hi guys. check out my new OS, called Zandu 8. find it here: http://susestudio.com/a/h0bgAD/zandu-os-8
KDE Sucks So Bad!!!
How do you remove all of the opensuse branding?
Sorry, I meant The login part. On this distro, it says linux.site, instead of opensuse 11.4. How do you change that?
he removes the opensuse branding from the software list
Can you give me the name of the package that removes opensuse branding?
Its Gud 9/10
Its Alright 8/10
better then kde though well done
KDE is way better then Gnome!
is ok not that good loool
This is an excellent release! – You can earn alot of money from this os! – Once the Live installer is working properly you should sell it on CD's and get money for it! Excellent OS!
can install this onto a hdd without vm
the gnome 3 dosent work why not gnome 2.0 ?
What is teh password for the os here. thanks i hae tryed to run it but no password
no password
i try to install it but it says that my graphics diver isn't capable, even though it's a graphics card supported and can play Quacke 3 at 67fps!
Is this GNOME 3.2?
No its not.
Heyy PLZz REpLY ! where is install/remove software ?? or what should i remove n add to get that ?
I have 2 question about this release..
I can't install it on a hard drive. I don't find the "live install" program. Where is it?
And at the session selection we can use Gnome, IceWM and TWM but TWM doesn't work. Which package I need to uninstall to don't see TWM at the first boot of the appliance?
Thank's a lot
you can't uninstall twm (it is required by live install)
for live install, try typing "live install" in gnome shell "search" field or type "liveinstall" on the boot prompt.
:) Going to Make Edits to This and Call It Youtube OS and iLove it! I said "I love it" Apple Style! :)Lol
If i use this version i have only fallback mode, if i use the version from gnome.org i can use gnome-shell.
What is the difference?
no difference..
Could you make a version of this that's barebone? Just GNOME3 and Suse.
Well, clone it and remove applications you don't like ;)
I Am Cloning This Because my OS B-D OS 11BD480e
I cloned the appliance in order to make my own, well customized version, but I have 2 main problems, the internet doesn't work, and even running of the live cd on my machine, the desktop breaks and go in fallback mode.
Any kind of help would be very appreciated!
I don't have the network problem but I also have the fallback mode…
Anyone knows if is possible to clone the appliance???
Would you mind telling me what you did to get the network working? :D
I didn't do nothing special… It simply works for me … Sorry!
And something really strange! I test the cloned appliance in other computer and the full gnome shell works! (??)
In my computer: Original G3 works, Cloned not works (fallback mode)
In wife laptop: Both work well
I don't understand nothing!!
possibly to do with your bios setting which cannot detect a abnormal o.s
it cant run most suse studio operating systems but can run red hat, some suse sudio o.s, kde 4, gnome (normal), and others but not ones with select ids such as your own one. (this is for the fallback problem)
for the network problem another package is proably conflicting. remove all included drivers from the o.s and test one by one
The reason the network doesn't work, you see, is under Technical details/Basic Settings/Network, it says "network_manager," not DHCP. If you do clone the appliance, which you can do if you are signed in by clicking "Clone appliance" right under the version number (at the top), you might want to change the setting to DHCP.
can i clone my appliance and publish it ?? pls reply , m askin u ! + if u want i'll giv a credit In the title itself , Federic Crozat ! i mean wen i make d trailer in d utube !! m askin u coz dis will b like a illegal job wen i dont ask your permission !
Is this supposed to rival Gnome Reloaded?
I hope it is. I'm tired of that guy being up front for so long.
The "GNOME 3" pattern needs to be changed. It doesn't include everything. It won't work if I put it in my OS. Please fix this problem if you can.
there is no such pattern
How did you make those folders for each file? Like "Videos, Music,Pictures"
I don't understand your question. Could you elaborate ?
Like when you goto someones Home Folder, and within it, they have folders for their Music, Videos and Photos Downloads and Documents, I was wondering how you could make all those folders (Music, Videos and Photos Downloads and Documents) with some kind of automated command or package.
This is handled by xdg-user-dics and xdg-user-dirs-gtk packages
this might sound like a dumb question…but how do i change this version to 64bit
use the live images provided at the url given in the summary
The live version runs well on my netbook on usb stick thanks to suse studio imagewriter but installation is a problem: windows are larger than the screen and no way to navigate thru them or resize.
Only solution is to plug a bigger external screen for install (not yet tried)
first, you should use live image from the url given in the summary.
Then, start the install process by adding liveinstall parameter on boot menu, this should fix your issue.
So What? can anyone fix this problem?
which problem ?
Hasn't gnome 3 gone final have you updated it for that?
latest release version of the appliance is using GNOME 3 final release
I love it ;-)
i was download and try this application. working properly. thanks umroh desember | biaya umroh desember | Thoriquljannnahtour
i know it has gnome 3 i have seen this distro running but does it gnome shell
please rephrase your question
does this thing have gnome shell whenever I run testdrive it say gnome 3 failed to load yet it looks much different from gnome 2.and please comment on this music(http://www.supermariolegacy.com/Wii/SuperMarioGalaxy/SoundtrackGold/16FloaterLand.mp3)
as explained in the summary, you can't have gnome shell using testdrive.
I'd like to say thanks to the author, even with all the bugs, I know how hard it all is. if there's anything I can help with let me know.
I've been trying to find a way of using GNOME 3. This is great! Nice job!
After I clone the appliance, it doesn't even give me a working build, I get an error right after I clone.
Pattern gnome requires pattern:gnome_basis, which is not available
I add the pattern, and it just gives me more errors, and more packages and patterns that I have to add, so how is this appliance working? And is there a fix for any of this?
Hey, I got the same thing too! Please help!
Clone an older version, like 0.0.7
It has a ton of bugs once you install it on a HDD, but on a flash drive or live cd it's fine, although a bit sluggish.
Don't use the appliance for installing on a system, use live cd from http://gnome3.org/tryit.html
This is due to switch to NetworkManager 0.9
I'll try to fix that with next appliance release
Well, this just doesn't work. I tried with both with the latest Vmware player, and Virtualbox 4.0.4, and there are multiple problems. On VMware everything is super-slow, and when trying to install the linux vmware-tools, the Installation executable can't find GCC, so it bails out. On VBox, it complaints that I need to change to 32bit color in order to get some acceleration, but there's no way to do this from either Gnome3 or Gnome2 screen dialogs (they offer no color depth option anymore?). 3D accel is enabled on Vbox's settings with 64 MB of VRAM, but not 2D accel (it says 2D is only supported on Windows).
Then, there's the actual usage problem after you have managed to login in fallback mode on gnome3, and everything's very slow: when I click to open an app on gnome3, all I get is a desktop that has the bar on the top, but there's no window displaying. The first time an app/desktop is loaded, I get a completely garbled look of an app. But on a subsequent boot, no app is loaded probably: everything is black apart from the bar on the top. This happens on both vbox and vmware, so I'm guessing it's gnome's bug.
I like the idea of testing gnome3 on these virtualization apps, but over here they just don't work properly.
Complain to virtualbox or VMWare. We are not responsible for them not supporting GNOME Shell.
Nice work. I know there is a cd image already in the opensuse repositroies but could you please add the cd
with cloning here for downloading.
this is not possible, since the configuration between CD and studio appliance is slighly different and not stored in suse studio (and CD image is automatically available on all openSUSE mirrors) .
Hmm I an't get it to run under Ubuntu 10.10 with Virtualbox Virtualbox ose 3.2.8 with an AMD 64 X2 CPU.
During half the boot the window just closes.
Any idea what could be missing?
Virtualbox doesn't like gnome-shell very much. Try with virtualbox 4.0 but I'm not sure it will work
Can you add an ISO image for CD/DVD, please? ;)
It will be available with next release
Can you enable cloning? And can I base an Appliance off of this if you do? I would like to try gnome shell 3 out.
I've disabled cloning on purpose until the image is stabilized a little.
Please report any missing stuff or feature and I'll update the image.
Thanks you.

SAN FRANCISCO -- A consumer watchdog group filed an appeal Monday that seeks to reverse a state commission's decision in December that will let Pacific Gas & Electric raise rates to help finance the company's upgrades of its natural gas system.
The improvements are being made in the wake of the lethal natural gas explosion in September 2010 that killed eight and demolished part of a San Bruno neighborhood.
"We have said over and over again that the PUC cannot require customers to pay for PG&E's mistakes," said Mindy Spatt, a spokeswoman for Toward Utility Rate Normalization, or TURN, which filed the appeal with the state Public Utilities Commission.
On Dec. 20, the PUC agreed to a $299 million rate increase for PG&E to upgrade its vast network of natural gas pipelines.
Certain aspects of the PUC's ruling, TURN claimed, amounted to the state commission giving PG&E a free pass.
"Customers should not be bailing out PG&E," Thomas Long, TURN's legal director, said in a prepared release. "The commission needs to stand up to PG&E, and stand up for customers who were put in harm's way by PG&E's mismanagement."
San Francisco-based PG&E said it had no specific comments about the appeal. The utility will go through the appropriate channels with the PUC to respond, said Brittany Chord, a spokeswoman for PG&E.
"Our focus has been and will continue to be the safety of our system," Chord said. "We have not stopped making improvements to our system following the accident."
Before the late-December decision, PG&E had spent roughly $1.5 billion in upgrades, repairs, valve automation and pipe replacements, according to the company.
"We did not wait for a decision from the PUC as to whether our plan would be accepted," Chord said.
Average rates for PG&E residential customers with natural gas service will go up about $1.36 a month by the end of 2014 due to the PUC's decision on Dec. 20.
That will raise the average bill of a residential customer with natural gas service by 88 cents a month during 2013 and by an additional 48 cents in 2014, Chord said.
Of central concern to TURN was PG&E's failure to keep proper records about the condition, repairs and maintenance on its pipelines.
As a result, it isn't fully clear just how much work PG&E truly should be compensated for.
"PG&E is shooting in the dark as to just what should be replaced," Spatt said.

SANTA CLARA -- Jim Harbaugh can be forgiven for trying so hard to convince us that everything is going so, so right for the 49ers right now.
Harbaugh has a team to get into gear, a training camp to run and various minor issues to corral before the start of this critical season.
So he had a theme to push Thursday, at the start of his fourth training camp as 49ers coach, and he was not subtle about it:
"It's such a positive happening, that first day," Harbaugh said during his first session in the Levi's Stadium auditorium.
"Imagine you're kind of in the comfort of the offseason, like being in the comfort of the womb, got plenty to eat in there, it's warm, very cozy.
"And then you're born, kind of, somewhat into the unknown. A lot of people looking at you, a lot of faces looking at you, a lot of excitement ... It's light, it's bright, it's noisy, it's the crazy world of football."
This is how Harbaugh chose to frame his response to tight end Vernon Davis ending his holdout and coming to camp -- new day, rebirth, how positive!
This is also how Harbaugh framed his response to guard Alex Boone continuing his holdout -- new day, still very positive!
This is just about how Harbaugh answered almost every general question about his team as this franchise tries to end a frustrating run of three trips to the NFC Championship game with zero Super Bowl titles.
Rebirth. Positive. Actually: "Relentlessly positive," in Harbaugh's exact phrasing.
But even someone as fiercely focused as Harbaugh couldn't argue that everything was bliss for the 49ers, who have those contractual issues, have key players still on the sidelines with injuries and are awaiting news on NFL discipline for Aldon Smith.
This isn't a young team anymore; this isn't a naive team; and this is now a very expensive team, with a gleaming new stadium opening up in weeks.
The 49ers are a middle-aged team dealing with the issues that all grown-up teams have to deal with, and, frustratingly for them, they have to do it without knowing if they can or will win a Super Bowl eventually.
In his first comments since ending his holdout, Davis said he relented and rejoined the team because he missed football and wanted to be back with Frank Gore and the rest of his teammates as they drive for their ultimate goal.
Of course, five weeks ago, while Davis and Boone were skipping the mandatory minicamp, Harbaugh said it wasn't "the 49er way" to behave like that.
"I don't have anything against Harbaugh," Davis said Thursday. "He can say the worst things in the world about me, I don't care.
"I mean, he's the coach. He's my coach; I'm still going to love him regardless."
Smith, meanwhile, said he has never felt better and said he hasn't had a drink since going into rehab -- and missing five games -- after his 2013 DUI.
And Smith said he is eager to get his troubles behind him and can begin to serve in a work program as part of the 12-day sentence he received last week.
"It's a process, so it's something that you've got to take one day at a time and continue to get better," Smith said. "Every day is a new day."
Of course, Boone remains out of camp, aiming for a larger contract.
These are not an abnormal amount of issues for a good team, but they're more than the 49ers have had to juggle in awhile.
Otherwise, the 49ers ran through their first practice without Anthony Davis or Justin Smith (both out with lingering injuries) but still looking as talented as any team in the league.
First-round pick Jimmie Ward, in particular, was flying all over the field, including a scrambling, diving interception of a tipped Colin Kaepernick pass.
This is all part of the Harbaugh message: Things are positive; this is the start of something fresh and great and positive, positive, positive, positive.
"I see it in their eyes," Harbaugh said. "They're cheerful and undefeated. I might be a little bit older, but I look at the mirror, I see my eyes, they're cheerful and undefeated.
"I don't know that you can ever have a team that's truly happy as a football team or in training camp, especially. You may not be around a happy team.
"But our team is the least unhappy team I've ever been around."
Print that up and raise it as a banner atop the new stadium: Not entirely happy, but not as unhappy as everybody else.
Even when Harbaugh was trying to highlight the positive, he actually nailed down what the mood around here really -- and realistically -- is.

Join the Lantern Festival Parade or host a lantern party with these fancy paper lanterns from Kai-lan and her friends!
Watch Ni Hao, Kai-lan only on Nick Jr.
Print and cut out four copies of the lantern body shape from either the colored templates or black-and-white templates. Kids can color in the black-and-white templates.
Cut two slits with a craft knife on each lantern body shape where designated. (Parents need to do this part.)
Fold each lantern shape inward vertically in the middle, ideally forming a 90-degree angle.
Glue the two folded shapes together through one half-side of each shape. The two half-sides glued together should match each other's shape. Now you should have a flat base consisting of two unglued half-sides and two glued half-sides sticking up in the middle. This will constitute half of the lantern. Do the same to the other two folded lantern shapes.
Before gluing the two halves of the lantern back to back, place a piece of string, ribbon, or yarn in between, along the axis of the lantern. Leave about 5 inches of the string both above the top and below the bottom of the lantern.
Print and cut out the two lantern scroll stripes either in black-and-white or color. Have your child color in the black-and-white version. Glue one to another's end over the tab so they become a one-piece scroll. Insert the scroll through the four slits on the lantern. When the end of the scroll meets the top, glue over the tab to form a circle. Adjust the scroll circle so each character's face appears in the middle of its "quarter."
Cut the bottom string to the desired length and knot the tassel onto the end.
Make a knot at the top of the string, and then hang your lantern!
Cut out four segments (each containing one hanging pom-pom) of the red pom-pom trim. Use fabric glue to affix the red pom-poms to the four lantern eaves.

Area farmers say recent rains have done little to help their already devastated crops. But relief may soon be on the way for farmers nationwide, as congress decides to dish out millions of dollars in drought disaster aid.
On any given day, a Thomasville farmers market is jam packed with customers seeking the finest and freshest produce around. And now that U.S. congressional leaders are passing a bill bringing millions of dollars in drought aid to farmers across the nation, these consumers, south Georgia farmers and producers can smile.
"Oh, it will help farmers with irrigation that's for sure, it takes money to irrigate and it will benefit all business and everyone including farmers as well," comments Tony Lewis of Lewis Produce Company.
The new spending bill, a $397 billion effort by, will target every area of the U.S. government. And though $3.1 billion are being dished out to farmers affected most by last year's drought and floods, some south Georgia consumers say the funding is coming too late.
"You know, funding is what gives farmers the resources to improve product and enhance crop production and to it boosts American agriculture in south Georgia," says consumer Homer Pankey.
And hopefully the extra funding will help boost agriculture across the nation. Congressional officials say funding from the new bill should be made available to farmers by the end of the month.

The new International Space Station crew 36/37 trained for upcoming space mission and took compulsory tests at Star city near Moscow on Tuesday (April 30).
The crew, that includes an American astronaut and mechanical engineer Karen Nyberg, a Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin and an Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano, arrived early in the morning to give a news conference and then later proceed to the training.
During the conference Nyberg said that the main challenge for her was to overcome a language barrier during her time in Russia.
"There're a lot of similar challenges. For me, probably the biggest challenge is the Russian language. It's been a challenge for me. Learning the language, hopefully I've learned it to a point where I can be an efficient and effective crew member and do all the roles that I need to do," Nyberg said.
Her Russian counterpart Yurchikhin praised Nyberg for being a leader and a true professional.
"Much courage for Karen because we've used her experience in space and she's one of our crew members. One main our crew member. Yes?," said Yurchikhin.
The Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano, who represents the European Space Agency, will go into space for the first time.
"The answer is in the question already. It's the first time that I fly in a real space craft. As a test pilot, it's always a great emotion to fly for the first time in a new machine so I'm just looking forward to see how the machine performs in real life, the real flight after training so much in a simulator," Parmitano said.
After the news conference the cosmonauts proceeded to the training facilities.
The head of the Cosmonaut Training Centre Sergei Krikalev was very optimistic about the outcome of the training sessions as well as of the future of the new ISS crew mission.
"If there are going to be any nuances - this is only a training session, we are saying that this is a training and sometimes the exam itself serves as an extra training. Some nuances, roughness are uncovered. All this will benefit even if the crew will make some minor mistakes. All this brings benefit ahead of the real flight," Krikalev said.
"Crew readiness will be evaluated after the training is over. I hope that everything is going to be well because all the preliminary information that we have shows that the crew knows everything well enough, all the preliminary 'cuts', as we call them, are passed well and we don't expect any miracles from this training," Krikalev added .
Both the main and the backup crews will have their next training session on May 6 and 7. The launch of the ISS crew 36/37 mission will take place on May 28, 2013.

Lifestyle is a key word at the Axis Sports Medicine center in Frisco, run by Jennifer Gotantas. An experienced physical therapist who has been working in Summit County for 19 years, Gotantas strives every day to help her patients return to the active lifestyle they enjoy.
Gotantas previously worked for Howard Head Sports Medicine. Recently, Vail Valley Medical Center took over management at Howard Head, prompting the opening of a new practice called Axis Sports Medicine (ASM). Gotantas, 16 other physical therapists and six staff personnel decided to make the change to ASM.
Now, Gotantas and her fellow physical therapists are owners of their own locations. Each has a 49 percent share in ownership of Axis Sports Medicine. This grants them direct control over their individual practices, allowing them to make decisions and implement them immediately.
"It provides them a flexibility that they have not had before," said ASM spokesperson Topper Hagerman. "They have the opportunity to be more flexible and more creative now because they are their own owners, and can make their own decisions more quickly, to the betterment of the patients and the community."
Gotantas, located in Frisco, has only been open since Nov. 1, but she's already got a full schedule, and is enjoying it immensely.
"I feel really lucky that after 21 years to still be doing what I do," she said.
Gotantas' enthusiasm is noticeable when she talks about her job, and when she works with her patients. She says she still sees patients that came to her when she first started up in Breckenridge. This isn't surprising, as Axis Sports Medicine puts an emphasis on the importance of relationships, and not just with patients, but with physicians and the community as well.
"You have that combination with the physical therapist, the patient and physician all working together as a team, and that's very unique," Hagerman said.
"The commitment to excellence inspires me and motivates me every day," Gotantas said. "Our relationships in the community include patients, physicians, community groups, and I think that not everybody has that balance."
When patients walk in, they usually have a specific idea of what they want, Gotantas says. It's her goal to make sure that they get it.
"They're very considerate of what I want to do," said Lynn Eauer of Dillon. Eauer has been seeing Gotantas for the past year for a shoulder injury.
As with the other ASM offices, patient care with Gotantas is highly individualized. Treating everything from sports injuries to issues caused by stretching too far or picking up a heavy object, Gotantas provides a varied service. Her patients include repeaters, walk-ins and out-of-towners.
"It's this wonderful bond, which takes a lot of energy," said Gotantas, of her relationship with her patients. "It's so worth it. I get paid to do this every day."
Working with ASM means being more hands-on. This means with patients, with the administrative aspects of running the business and among the colleagues within ASM.
"The team is very important for me," said Hagerman. "It provides culture. It provides the mainstay of who you are. You look at that and it becomes a foundation, just like the values are."
This is very much what it means to be part of ASM, according to Gotantas.
"It's about being part of something unique," she said.
Three ASM locations are now open in Summit County - one each in Frisco, Breckenridge and Silverthorne.

Toddler killed after racing cars collide in Charlotte
Drivers had alcohol in system, troopers say
UPDATED 12:36 PM EST Nov 19, 2012
A 2-year-old boy was killed Saturday in a crash involving two cars racing on Interstate 77, troopers said.
Trevon Nichols, of Charlotte, died in the crash just after 1 a.m. Saturday near West Boulevard, WCNC reported.
Three others were hurt in the crash, and troopers said all were recovering in the hospital.
Troopers said two Mitsubishi Eclipse sportscars were racing when they collided and slammed into a guard rail.
One driver, Randall Battiste, 20, was ejected, while the other driver, Kelvin Nichols, 22, was listed in fair condition. Both drivers had alcohol in their system, troopers said.
The toddler's mother, Tiesha Baldwin, 22, was in fair condition.
Charges will be filed, troopers said.

Tucking her pale-pink hair behind her ears, Ellie Goulding explained recently that her new record reflects a blur of experiences over the past two years -- a period in which she became such a star in England that Prince William and Kate Middleton asked her to sing at their wedding reception.
"It's definitely opened me up," she said of the whirlwind stretch since she released her debut album, "Lights," in 2010. The singer was curled up on a sofa in her dressing room at the site of Conan O'Brien's show, preparing to perform her current single, "Anything Could Happen." "It's given me more intensity and a keenness to be very, very honest."
That intensity resounds throughout Goulding's strong sophomore set, "Halcyon," which entered the U.S. charts inside the top 10. It's a more daring, personal effort than "Lights," with a greater emphasis on her singing than on the blippy synthesizer tones that drove the debut's title track to No. 2 on Billboard's Hot 100 this summer.
"Only you can see the emptiness I feel when you're with me," she sings in the soulful "Only You."
Yet early signs suggest the fresh approach is paying off: She'll have a song on the final "Twilight Saga" soundtrack alongside Green Day and Feist.
"Ellie's sound is really unique," said Michelle Boros, music director at L.A. pop radio station KAMP-FM. "And it's not just the music -- it's the quality of her voice. That's what cuts through and makes you say, 'What is this?' ''
As befits the album's intimate vibe, Goulding, 25, recorded much of "Halcyon" not in some state-of-the-art London studio, but at the family home of her co-producer, Jim Eliot, in Hay-on-Wye, Wales.
"It's quite a rural place," the singer said of the bookish burg not far from where she grew up in Herefordshire. To demonstrate the atmosphere, she picked up her phone and played a video of Eliot's young daughters jumping around their living room to the album's title track.
"There'd be times when she'd say, 'This has to be on my record,' and I'd almost go, 'Are you sure?' " recalled Eliot, who has also worked with Kylie Minogue. "She was so liberated creatively."
In the studio -- with no cellphone signal and "no contact with anybody in the outside world," Goulding explained with a laugh -- risk-taking was the goal. "The whole experience was really beautiful," she continued. "And I think if I'd worked in a studio (in L.A.) or in London, it would've been such a different story."
However open she may feel in an artistic sense, Goulding admitted that public interest in her personal life -- specifically, in her relationship with dubstep superstar Skrillex -- has been harder to negotiate.
"I've never said this to another journalist, but it's got to the point now where I don't really want people to ask me about it," she said. "I don't want to disclose certain things anymore. I did it for a bit because it made sense to me; I wanted people to understand what I wrote about. But now I feel like people are talking about aspects of me that I don't want to be a focus."
Goulding said she'd prefer if fans look for meaning in the songs on "Halcyon," which she plans to spend as much time supporting -- particularly in America -- as she did "Lights." The single from that album took nearly 18 months to become a hit.
"I'm not afraid of spending a year singing 'Anything Could Happen,' " she insisted.
"Other people would be afraid: 'It's been a year, we should probably give it up,' " Goulding went on. "But we never gave up on 'Lights,' and look what happened."

SAN JOSE -- A third person suspected in the alleged kidnapping and assault of a San Jose handyman earlier this month turned himself in to authorities late Wednesday, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.
Richard Rodriguez, 49, of Alameda, surrendered to Alameda police Wednesday at 5 p.m., according to Sgt. Jose Cardoza of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. Investigators had obtained an arrest warrant for Rodriguez stemming from his alleged involvement.
Morgan Hill residents Jason DeJesus, 36, and Chanelle Troedson, 33, were arrested on the day of the incident and have been charged by county prosecutors with five felony counts, including kidnapping during a carjacking, kidnapping to commit robbery, battery, assault and false imprisonment. DeJesus and Troedson are scheduled to make their next court appearance Jan. 4.
Rodriguez is facing charges of battery, assault and false imprisonment, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.
The 50-year-old handyman from San Jose said he had been in a disagreement with a relative of one of the suspects over not being fully paid for repair work done at a Santa Clara home about two months earlier, according to the Sheriff's Office.
"There was a dispute about services rendered," Cardoza previously told this newspaper. "That in conjunction with him not being paid entirely."
Relatives of the person who had hired the handyman contacted him on Dec. 3 requesting his services at a home on the 200 block of Caldwell Court in unincorporated Morgan Hill.
Within minutes after the handyman arrived, a man and a woman at the home attacked the him, Cardoza said.
"For the next few hours he's assaulted and had his life threatened numerous times, " said Cardoza, who added that no weapons were used or seen. "He's also forced to do some minor repair work around the house."
Around 5:30 p.m., the victim was forced into his own truck and told they were going to the relative's Santa Clara home to finish the work he'd started two months prior.
The abductors stopped for fuel and food at a gas station near Santa Teresa Boulevard and Cottle Road in San Jose, telling the man he "better stay in the truck" as they went inside to pay.
As soon as the victim had the opportunity, he escaped, Cardoza said.
He ran to a nearby residence and reported what had happened, and responding San Jose police quickly found the pair still in the area. They were arrested and handed over to sheriff's deputies because the original crime happened in unincorporated Morgan Hill.

New York City Council Bans E-Cigarettes in Public Places
By Mara Gay and Joe Jackson
Electronic cigarettes are set to be banned from bars and restaurants in New York City, after the New York City Council voted 43-8 Thursday to add the devices to a 2002 law prohibiting smoking in certain public spaces.
The bill, which passed in the final City Council meeting of the year Thursday, underscores New York's role in pushing for some of the toughest anti-smoking legislation in the country. Its passage was hailed as an important victory by health officials and advocates, who say e-cigarettes, which give off vaporized nicotine instead of smoke, are harmful.
American Lung Association of the Northeast CEO Jeff Seyler called the ban "a common sense step forward," and said it would help protect people from secondhand exposure.
"We're grateful that New Yorkers will not be exposed to potentially unsafe secondhand emissions from electronic cigarettes," Mr. Seyler said in a statement Thursday.
The ban is almost certain be signed into law by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who championed the landmark 2002 Smoke-Free Air Act that barred New Yorkers from lighting up in indoor public spaces, and has said he supports the legislation adding e-cigarettes to the ban as well.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, in her final press conference as Speaker Thursday, called the Smoke-Free Air Act "one of our greatest accomplishments."
Makers of e-cigarettes, facing other potential bans in Los Angeles and Chicago, said they were disappointed. Miguel Martin, the president of Logic Technology, one of the country's largest e-cigarette manufacturers, said New York's push to add them to the ban was not based in science.
"It's really unfortunate. I find their line of reasoning flawed," Mr. Martin said in a phone interview. "It's not based on science and there's no foundation for this."
Gregory Conley, a legislative consultant and e-cigarette advocate who was sitting in City Council chambers when the bill passed, said the devices should be treated as markedly different from traditional cigarettes. "Banning something because it looks like smoking is not rational health policy," he said.
The e-cigarette ban will go into effect 120 days after it is signed by the mayor.
But e-cigarette makers also could challenge the ban in court, something beverage companies did to successfully halt a planned cap on sugary drinks.
Two other bills passed unanimously. One bans foam dining containers from restaurants and stores in New York City. The other creates a public online database to track the delivery of federal aid money from superstorm Sandy relief.

Weekend Open Forum
By Rebecca Teti
Tuesday: Open Forum
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
Spring ahead tomorrow night & that's got me thinking about Easter! Would anyone mind sharing any special Easter traditions? How do you celebrate Easter?
Hi Avk. We dye Easter eggs and have an egg hunt on Holy Saturday. It's usually too cold to have it outdoors, but one year we were blessed with good weather, so that made it extra special. Later that night the eggs get deviled for an appetizer on Easter Sunday. We don't do the Easter Bunny at our house, but my son does get an Easter basket with a few little things, at least one religious gift. We go to Mass of course, and play Easter CDs (my son has a child's Easter CD, and we play the Messiah). We have company over for Easter dinner around 3pm. I have some Easter decorations which we put out on Holy Saturday. My son loves holidays and gets very excited when I bring out the decorations. (They stay up till Ascension Thursday.)
How fun! Yes, I agree---it's much too cold for an easter egg hunt here in MI, they'd be hunting in the snow! :) We don't do the bunny either. I need to get more decorations..thinking about an Easter tree thanks to that gosh darn pinterest!
Mine are small (<4), so we are still developing our traditions & of course changing them as little ones get bigger. This year we're excited to do an egg hunt both indoors AND outdoors (we live in Texas, so weather is not a problem unless its raining/muddy). We'll also do an Easter basket with a few chocolates inside + Mass with Easter clothes. I also had this idea of emptying eggs (by just poking a hole and draining out the yolk/white parts) and then closing up all the eggs with tape. Then one egg will have a surprise inside (glitter? confetti?) and the person who gets it, well, gets it, lol. As you can see, its a half-baked idea. We'll see where it goes... I cannot wait to hear others' ideas...
That's a cute idea Jen! Let us know how it works out.
On Holy Saturday we finish coloring our Polish Easter eggs (pysanki) as well as dye some the usual way. We also decorate our little Easter tree with craft eggs we made earlier in the week. We get our baskets of eggs with some Easter food blessed at our parish. On Easter we put out our Fontanini Easter scene. Then we go to mass and I make Easter brunch. We have an egg hunt with plastic eggs indoors if it's cold out, and outdoors if it's above 50 degrees. The kids get Easter baskets with a couple religious items and a couple chocolate crosses (we don't do chocolate bunnies). In-laws give them more candy. For dinner I make lamb. Then we pray the Office and the Rosary.
We have lamb for dinner too. Usually with mashed potatoes, but when my son was a baby and I was a little overwhelmed and wanted to do as much ahead of time as possible, I made potato salad. That simplified things on Easter Sunday.

Dolley Madison's Story
Dolley Madison defined the role of our nation's First Ladies, setting the tone for presidential spouses since. Her husband, James Madison, was the father of the Constitution and the primary author of the Bill of Rights. Mrs. Madison's contributions to the country were significant as well.
Known for her grace and wit, Dolley Madison served 16 years as hostess of the White House, first during the presidency of the widowed Thomas Jefferson, and later during the administration of her own husband. During that time, she presided over the first inaugural ball in 1809 and is believed to have started the tradition of the White House annual Easter egg hunt.
When the British advanced upon Washington in 1814, Dolley Madison showed the courage for which she would also be remembered. As the British set fire to large parts of the nation's capital, Dolley Madison rescued Gilbert Stuart's famous portrait of George Washington and a number of important government papers.
The Dolley Madison Commemorative Silver Dollar is the first coin to honor a First Lady, and is the first coin designed by Tiffany & Co.® (whose hallmark, T&Co, appears as an artist mark on both sides of the coin). The design, which Tiffany & Co. specifically created for this commemorative coin, is based on a portrait of Dolley Madison by Gilbert Stuart -- the same artist whose portrait of George Washington she rescued from the British. The obverse portrays Dolley Madison bordered by a bouquet of Cape Jasmines, her favorite flower, in front of Montpelier's classically-inspired ice house. The reverse shows Montpelier surrounded by willow trees and foliage.

Woman receives suspended sentence for thefts from church daycare
Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 9:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 5:03 p.m.
A Greer woman admitted Monday that she stole more than $138,000 from a church-operated daycare from August 2009 to July 2012.
Patricia Brown Bronson, 51, of 207 Galena Lane, pleaded guilty to breach of trust with fraudulent intent, value $10,000 or more.
Circuit Judge Benjamin Culbertson imposed the state's recommended sentence of five years, suspended to five years' probation. Bronson also was ordered to pay about $66,000 in restitution.
Seventh Circuit Assistant Solicitor Hillary Welborn said in court that Bronson confessed to law enforcement that she took cash payments intended for Restoration Child Development Center from August 2009 to July 2012.
The center's administrative director contacted the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office Aug. 16, 2012 after they became aware of the discrepancy, according to an incident report.
Welborn said Bronson told investigators she began taking the money to help family members, but continued taking the money.
Welborn said insurance covered part of the stolen money and said she had contacted the church, which did not want Bronson to serve prison time for the crime.
Attorney Daryl Bush represented Bronson on behalf of her attorney, Albert Smith, and told Judge Culbertson that Bronson had been married 27 years and was the mother of two adult children. Bush said her family would support her as she works to repay the money.
"This is something that's an anomaly," Bush said of Bronson's crime.
Bronson apologized in court for her action.
"I'm sorry for what I've done," she told the judge.

Call it a dress rehearsal.
The first in a series of storms expected to sweep across the Bay Area made its way through the region Wednesday morning, whipping up some fierce winds and delivering a fair amount of rain, but serving mostly as an opening act for stronger systems to come later in the week.
The weather service is predicting periods of heavy rain through the weekend that could deliver as much as 10 to 12 inches of rain to the North Bay and higher elevations, according to forecaster Logan Johnson of the National Weather Service. Following Wednesday's system, which was mostly clear of the region by 11:30 a.m., a second and third round of showers are expected Thursday and Saturday.
"It will definitely be a very beneficial rainfall," Johnson said. "We just always hope it doesn't come too much too quickly."
Rainfall totals were around a quarter-inch and lower over the last 24 hours for most of the urban East Bay, according to the weather service. Coastal areas in the South Bay may have seen as much as two inches.
For much of the Bay Area, strong winds were the hallmark of Wednesday's storm. Gusts peaked at almost 80 mph on Poverty Ridge in Santa Clara County, and neared 70 mph on Mt. Diablo in Contra Costa County.
Closer to populated areas, winds reached about 30 mph in Richmond, Pittsburg and Oakland.
"It was pretty close to what was anticipated," said weather service forecaster Diana Henderson. "It went through (the area) just a little quicker than we originally thought it would."
It was pouring rain midday in downtown Pleasanton, but at Meadowlark Dairy on West Neal Street, it was business as usual. The drive-through dairy had its usual back-up of cars in line to make purchases, and the staff scurrying from car window to car window with milk, bread and staples.
It was plenty wet for the soggy workers, but business was brisk.
"It's not affecting us too bad," supervisor Katie Thomas said. "People are buying milk and eggs here because they don't want to get out of their cars to go into the supermarket."
At the site of the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge, workers got the day off -- but not before a flurry of activity to secure construction equipment ahead of the blustery storm.
"We have battened down the hatches out here on the project," said Caltrans spokesman Bart Ney.
In Richmond, the downpour yielded to a soft breeze and gray skies by noon. But the rain was heavy enough to fill reservoirs in the craggy streets and drive away the heavy foot-traffic that normally lines 23rd Street and downtown business corridors.
At Caspers Hot Dogs, a local favorite across the street from City Hall, the lunch crowd was heavy and hearty as usual. Inside, the diner felt a bit warmer than normal, and the coffee and hot dogs seemed extra steamy on a chilly day.
"Something about a good rainy day," said Austin Jackson, 54, just before ordering a combo meal. "I knew before breakfast that I wanted to come down (to Caspers) for lunch."
People out for a stroll during a break in the downpour in downtown San Mateo welcomed the rain after last winter's dryness. Kate Parina, 63, of San Mateo, smiled at the falling drops as she headed to work, saying it's good for plants and will mean snow for skiers.
"I just don't like getting to work wet," she said, heading to her job at a bookstore in Burlingame. "I don't mind so much being wet on the way home."
In general residents seemed to be taking the water in stride. A shopkeeper warned a customer, "Don't float away," as she walked to her car, drawing a chuckle from her.
Travelers at one Bay Area airport were probably not feeling as forgiving about the weather.
Major delays of almost four hours were reported for arriving flights at San Francisco International Airport as winds surged in coastal areas, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The late arrivals were also causing delays in departures; travelers were advised to call their airline before heading to the airport.
No major delays were reported at San Jose or Oakland airports.
PG&E crews were in place throughout the Bay Area to repair fallen power lines.
The largest outage was in Pacifica, where more than 1,000 customers were without power; service was restored to most customers by around 11 a.m.
Smaller outages of fewer than 500 customers were reported in Saratoga, Union City, Woodside, San Lorenzo, Bay Point, Half Moon Bay and San Francisco. Most were restored within several hours.
Roadway flooding was reported in San Mateo and Marin counties, but no fatal accidents were reported, according to the California Highway Patrol. Downed power lines blocked lanes on Highway 9 and Highway 236 in Santa Cruz County, but no other major road closures were reported.
While the storms will pack a lot of rain, they aren't expected to trigger the conditions needed for the Mavericks big wave surf contest off the San Mateo County Coast, organizers said.
With the first system moving out of the Bay Area, scattered showers may still appear through Wednesday night. The next storm, arriving Thursday morning, will pack more of a punch, according to Johnson.
"That one will be stronger and feature more rainfall," Johnson said.
The third and most potent system is expected to hit the Bay Area on Saturday. San Jose could potentially receive several inches of rain, Johnson said.
