Heavier rain to follow latest spritzing in O.C.

The first of two Pacific low pressure systems moved through Orange County yesterday and early today, barely spritzing the landscape, and not even doing that in many areas. The National Weather Service had said the county would be lucky to get one-tenth of an inch of rain.

These job-reference sites offer to help fill gaps in work history, provide references from out-of-business former employers, give positive references when the job seeker believes the real former boss would be negative.

At 1:30 a.m., an Irvine police officer saw a four-door Nissan Altima approaching the intersection of Alton Parkway and Harvard Avenue. The vehicle was traveling more than 80 miles per hour and didn't stop for the red traffic light at the intersection, Lt. Henry Boggs said.

The officer tried to stop the car but lit sped eastbound on Alton Parkway through Culver Drive.
