A Florida man was sentenced today to two months in jail and four months home confinement for his role in scamming the University of Hawaii out of $ 200,000 for Stevie Wonder concert that never happened . The university paid a $ 200,000 deposit in 2012 and began selling tickets before learning that neither Wonder nor his representatives authorized a show . The scam dubbed locally as the “ Wonder Blunder ” humiliated the university and prompted investigations . Sean Barriero pleaded guilty in 2012 to aiding and abetting the transportation of stolen property . Prosecutors say he created a fake document telling the university its money would be placed into an escrow account , when instead Barriero distributed the money to himself , his co-defendant Marc Hubbard and others . Barriero was facing a sentence of 12 to 18 months in prison , but a prosecutor asked for a lighter sentence because Barriero ’ s cooperation led Hubbard to plead guilty to wire fraud in 2016 . Hubbard was sentenced earlier this month to nearly five years in prison . Assistant U.S. Attorney Marc Wallenstein requested that Barriero ’ s sentence be reduced because of his cooperation . Hubbard duped Barriero , who believed they could pull off the concert , Wallenstein said , and led him to believe he was in touch with Wonder ’ s management . Barriero was misled and “ put out to be the fall guy , ” Wallenstein said . Barriero ’ s federal public defender , Peter Wolff , asked for an entire sentence of home confinement . “ I am sorry for the embarrassment I helped cause the university , ” Barriero said .

In the 1970s , it was a treacherous task for high schoolers to obtain marijuana . `` Back then we spent every day of our lives worrying about getting busted . Going to buy was a really secret thing , '' Steve Capper says . That was paranoia , but it also made for an energy-charged brotherhood of outlaws , avoiding the law . '' Capper , a man who now works in the financial services industry in San Francisco , was once one-fifth of a group calling themselves the Waldos , a coterie of companions at San Rafael High School generally considered to be behind the term `` 420 . '' While many believe that the famous phrase 420 was associated with some sort of police code for marijuana , that 's not the case . Actually , it began as a secret language mumbled in school hallways to communicate a post-class smoke session , and since then , it has taken on the form of a bona fide national phenomenon . However , as the guys remember it , almost 50 years ago when the term was born , it was just a friendly pastime with friends ; a reference to post-class trips during which they 'd seek a treasure trove of marijuana mysteriously up for the taking somewhere in Point Reyes . This is where most people stop believing the story . As it goes , forty-five years ago , the Waldos were given a treasure map . Fantastic and preposterous as it may seem , the Waldos have always contended that the brothers that passed it over to them promised with it a stoner 's paradise where the `` X '' marked the spot : a free crop of marijuana , ready for the taking . For the next few weeks , the Waldos would catch each other 's eyes in the hallways , uttering simply `` 420 Louis . '' It was a secret code , an invitation to meet at 4:20 p.m. after their sports practices , at the statue of Louis Pasteur in front of the school . Then , the `` safari '' would begin and they 'd take off towards the Point Reyes Coast Guard Station in a '66 Chevy Impala in search of the stash . The grower of the weed , it turned out , was a coast guardsman named Gary Newman , stationed on the peninsula . He was the brother-in-law to the Waldos ' buds who first delivered them the sacred map . Newman and some other friends had planted the weed for personal use , but they soon began to grow suspicious that their overseeing officers might bust them . So , to get rid of the evidence , Newman made a map for those interested to come harvest . The Waldos never found the marijuana , and eventually they reluctantly pushed the mystery aside , but the phrase 420 stuck , just like the name Waldos — a reference to the wall where they met between classes . `` We 'd hang out there , make fun of people going by , doing imitations and joking around , and that was kind of our hang out , '' fellow Waldo and current independent filmmaker Dave Reddix tells SFGATE . `` So we just started calling each other Waldos . '' The phrase 420 , meanwhile , was just another `` little joke , '' as Reddix says . But if it was a joke , it was one that everyone else soon learned , including some members of the Grateful Dead , as well as band mates in Phil Lesh 's side projects , Too Loose Ta Truck and Sea Stones . While Reddix is n't sure that Lesh or other musicians like David Crosby first heard 420 from his own mouth or from his brother 's ( who managed a couple of Lesh 's other bands ) , it does seem probable . After all , the Waldos tended to hang out backstage at many of the Dead 's shows . The father of Waldo Mark , who today often works as a photographer and renovator in the real estate sector , helped the Dead find the band space for rehearsals and shows , making sure to add the Waldos to pertinent guest lists . `` For a young man around 18 or 19 around these guys , it was pretty overwhelmingly fun , '' Reddix remembers . `` We 'd shoot some hoops and get high and listen to the Dead playing and practicing inside this warehouse . '' And though the Waldos never knew for sure where the Dead picked up the phrase , the bigger mystery was always the answer to the map . Until 2016 . After a six year hunt beginning in 2010 , `` hundreds '' of unanswered cold calls , and the hiring of a private investigator , they finally found Newman . Though homeless in the San Jose area , he agreed to meet them , 45 years after he penned the legendary treasure map . When they finally met , it was Super Bowl weekend . The Waldos were able to put him up in lodging for a couple days while they interviewed him about the map . But of the revelations and stories exchanged ( which you can read about more in-depth here ) , one of the most memorable moments came when Capper went to pay the bill . `` I go to the motel owner , and ask how much is [ the room ] , '' he recalls . `` He says including tax , it 's exactly $ 420 dollars . '' And now , almost 50 years after the Waldos were first handed the map , 420 has a life of its own , far away from San Rafael . It permeates many areas of pop culture , including music , TV shows , government bills , Craigslist ads , and even beer labels . Lagunitas Brewing in Petaluma , for example , has for years crafted a `` Waldos '' triple IPA in its namesake 's honor . Brewers have even asked some Waldos to select hops for the beer based on which they believe smells the most like marijuana . The Untappd app has even developed a special game attached to the Lagunitas beer 's check-in . `` [ The Waldos ' ] legacy lives on and we just get to participate in it on a slightly different level than before , '' Lagunitas spokesperson Karen Hamilton tells SFGATE . `` Who would have guessed that a few short years after making Waldos ' Special Ale for the first time , there would be states that have legalized marijuana and an entirely new shift in attitudes and thinking about it all across the country ? '' But though the brewery uses `` 420 '' for a light-hearted specialty beer , there are some people that take the term very seriously . Mentioning that they 've heard of at least one Ph.D. candidate who has based studies on the etymology and spread of the word , they note that some people have built careers using the word . For most people though , the word 's usage is just recreational . `` It 's humorous , it 's amusing , '' Capper says . `` For a large part of people , it 's just fun . '' In 2017 , in the days leading up to April 20 , two of the Waldos , Reddix and Capper , appeared on Kevin Klein Live , a morning show on Live 105 , to retell the origin story of 420 . `` ( The term 420 ) was never purposeful or contrived , '' they told Klein . `` It happened organically on its own . '' And now that marijuana inches closer to legalization in the state of California and the term 420 `` gets bigger every year , '' as the host mentions , the Waldos are beginning to warm up to the idea of public visibility . Saying the term `` spread all over the globe , '' the former San Rafael students note that 420 was just one of their many `` codes '' at school . `` 420 was the tip of the iceberg , '' they add . `` We have about 130 other codes that were private jokes for all kinds of things and maybe as we move down the road , maybe get more commercial opportunities , we 'll release some of that so the world sees this huge backstory .

Related story : Sheriff candidate Vic Regalado pays impromptu visit to Democratic Party leaders pushing for probe of his campaign finances Related story : Quarter of Tulsa County sheriff candidate Vic Regalado ’ s campaign funds — $ 42,000 — linked to Rogers County business Tulsa Police Sgt . Luke Sherman announced Wednesday afternoon he will run for the four-year sheriff ’ s term in Tulsa County and said he feels wrongdoing was involved with a contingent of the sheriff-elect ’ s donors . The announcement came less than 24 hours after fellow Tulsa Police Sgt . Vic Regalado declared victory over Democrat Rex Berry , finishing with 62 percent of the special general election vote . Regalado is to be sworn into office Monday to finish out the balance of Stanley Glanz ’ s unfinished seventh term , which expires Dec. 31 . During his announcement , Sherman was flanked by four former Republican candidates for sheriff — John Fitzpatrick , Tom Helm , Jason Jackson and Dan Miller . “ Change is only good when change is for the better , ” Sherman said . “ What happened yesterday was not for the better. ” Sherman noted that the five together combined for about 52 percent of the votes cast in the Republican primary on March 1 , in which Regalado captured about 41 percent of the vote . There was no runoff because of the compressed nature of the special election schedule . Sherman stated that the Sheriff ’ s Office needs “ real leadership ” and “ not more of the same. ” “ Let ’ s be clear about it , ” Sherman said . “ Let ’ s be clear about who the donors were . Let ’ s be clear about who the contact point to those donors was. ” A Tulsa World reporter asked Sherman if he believed there was wrongdoing . “ I ’ ll leave it at the fact that he ’ s not being clear about it , so I ’ ll leave you that , ” Sherman responded . “ But yes , I feel that . Yes , I do. ” Regalado ’ s campaign released a statement Wednesday afternoon following the news conference . “ Tulsa County voters have blessed me with two resounding victories in the last five weeks , but politics needs to take a back seat for a while , ” Regalado said . “ I have a job to do . “ I ’ m focused on reforming the Sheriff ’ s Office and restoring trust with the citizens of Tulsa County. ” Regalado has previously called the questioning of contributions from a Rogers County business — ISTI Plant Services — “ political posturing at its best ” and said he welcomes an investigation . Regalado said those donors “ are excited about the prospect ” of the first Hispanic sheriff being elected in Tulsa County . Public scrutiny has focused on $ 42,050 in donations to Regalado ’ s campaign because of ties to the Rogers County business and the fact that 16 of the 17 donors gave maximum or near-maximum contributions . Regalado has publicly revealed he met with the company ’ s president and not the other employees who ultimately donated . The meeting took place , Regalado has said , because the president wasn ’ t going to contribute unless he met personally with Regalado . Regalado said a mutual acquaintance brokered the meeting between himself and ISTI Plant Services ’ president . He has declined to publicly identify the mutual acquaintance . The local Democratic Party has called for an ethics investigation into that contingent of Regalado donors , citing accusations that straw donations are involved . Straw donors are people who use another person ’ s money to make illegal contributions to an election campaign . Oklahoma Ethics Commission Director Lee Slater has said he can ’ t comment on any potential investigations except to acknowledge his agency has received a complaint regarding the matter . Sherman ’ s announcement took place at the Tulsa Press Club downtown , with Fitzpatrick , Helm , Jackson and Miller each speaking on their support for him . The candidate filing period to run for the four-year sheriff term begins April 13 . The primary is scheduled for June 28 , with a runoff on Aug. 23 , if necessary . The general election is Nov. 8 .

UPDATE : Turkish Twitterers tweet No , You Ca n't Stop Us Mr. Prime Minster Turkey banned social media platform Twitter in the country , according to earlier reports . However , there might have been a breakthrough as the block on Twitter is not working anymore . It was previously reported that users can not access their accounts due to a prompt message redirecting them to the country ’ s telecommunications regulator saying a court ruling has been issued for “ protective measures ” resulting the ban . Turkey ’ s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan did not like tweets which posted alleged corruption in his circle causing him to announce “ wipe out of Twitter ” . The government said it has sent a court ruling to Twitter to remove certain links but the social media network gave no response . Meanwhile , the Twitter ban in Turkey has not stopped the tweets coming from the Turkish society . People had started using an alternative DNS service allowing them to continue tweeting on the social media site . In fact , tweets in the country rose up by 138 % according to Brandwatch and We Are Social . Turkish Twitterers responded to ban through SMS service in the best way possible : endless stream of mocking memes of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan .

SC Public Radio News - South Carolina Supreme Court associate Justice Kaye Hearn has been elected to another six-year term . Hearn was one of more than three dozen judges put on the bench by the General Assembly on Wednesday . There were no contested races , but in several races at least a few House members and occasionally a few senators voted against the only candidate . Hearn , who became just the second woman ever on the state Supreme Court in 2010 , won her latest term on a 122-13 vote . Lawmakers also voted for seats on the state Court of Appeals , Circuit Court and Family Court . - A school choice bill in South Carolina has lawmakers , teachers and school administrators mostly in agreement . The bill would require every school district in the state to offer some type of program to send children to a school outside their zoned areas . It also would allow children to go to a school in a different district . A Senate subcommittee rekindled the proposal at a meeting Wednesday . The bill puts some limits on choice — schools , classes and programs ca n't get overcrowded and choice students would have to find their own transportation . Senators in the subcommittee did n't vote on the bill Wednesday , saying they want to make some tweaks first . - The fact that Michelle Childs is under consideration to fill a Supreme Court vacancy comes as no surprise to some of her legal colleagues in South Carolina . The federal judge has emerged as a possible nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer as President Joe Biden seeks to fulfill his pledge to put a Black woman on the nation 's highest court . South Carolina attorney Vickie Eslinger says she hired Childs out of law school and quickly saw her as a lawyer capable of meeting tough challenges . When Childs was a state judge , South Carolina 's then-Chief Justice Jean Toal often had Childs substitute on the appellate bench , in part because Toal saw a higher court in Childs ' future . - Festival founder and artistic director Lee Pringle previews the works and performers coming to three historic venues February 2nd-5th . Open Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina 's scenic , natural , and historic landscapes The Open Space Institute ’ s mission is to protect scenic , natural , and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment , conserve habitat and working lands , and sustain communities .

WASHINGTON > > The Senate confirmed 15 more judges late today , all but wrapping up its pre-election work on a top Republican priority days after Brett Kavanaugh ’ s confirmation to the Supreme Court . Clearing the judicial nominees provided a signature walk-off for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , who has focused on reshaping the judiciary with more conservative judges . Once final action was finished later this evening , senators were not expected back to session full-time until after the November election . While many of the judges were approved with bipartisan support , almost half were confirmed on mostly party-line votes . Democratic opponents and their allies swiftly objected to some of the nominees , in large part over views aligned with stricter abortion access . “ Make no mistake , today was yet another step in the GOP ’ s takeover of our courts , stacking the deck against women and families at every level , ” Ilyse Hogue , the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America , said after the votes . She said the back-to-back votes coming so soon after Kavanaugh ’ s confirmation were especially painful . Singled out for opposition were David Porter , who was confirmed as a circuit court judge in Pennsylvania over the objection of that state ’ s Democratic Sen. Bob Casey , and Mark Norris , confirmed as a district court judge for the Western district of Tennessee . Republicans have seen a bump in polling since Kavanaugh ’ confirmation . McConnell has marveled at the way the Supreme Court fight is animating Republican voters — who , polls showed , had been less enthusiastic before Kavanaugh advanced . Control of Congress is at stake this fall as Republicans are fighting to keep their majority hold on the House and Senate . Underscoring liberal anger over Trump ’ s conservative judicial nominees , People for the American Way criticized them as “ ideological extremists and narrow minded elitists. ” The group also chided Democrats for not delaying the votes , saying , “ Allowing these confirmations to be rushed through as senators head out of town does a disservice to our democracy and the rule of law. ” Among the handful of senators who missed the day ’ s votes were Democrats Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Bill Nelson of Florida , who face tough re-election races , and Florida Republican Marco Rubio . Florida was battered this week by Hurricane Michael .

PRESS RELEASE Cushman & Wakefield ( C & W ) today announced the sale of Cedar Crossing , a 10,897-acre industrial park near Houston . The transaction represents one of the single largest land sales in the history of the Houston area . C & W represented the seller , Cedar Crossing L.P. , a partnership of area investors managed by Charles Iupe . The size of the property sold is equal to three-fourths that of New York\u2019s Manhattan Island . The C & W team of Kelley Parker , John Littman , Coe Parker and Tim Thomas handled the marketing and sale of the site . Mr. Parker\u2019s 24-year experience with marketing the property began in 1990 when C & W represented the site for USX Realty Development and convinced Mr. Iupe to purchase the project . Trans-Global Solutions , Inc. ( TGS ) , a fully integrated railroad service\/logistics provider for many Fortune 500 companies with offices in Beaumont and Houston , TX , is the majority owner of the buyer , TGS Cedar Port Partners L.P. TGS has been the rail service provider for Cedar Crossing since its inception . With a total expanse of 15,000 acres , Cedar Crossing Industrial Park is considered the world\u2019s fifth largest industrial park and the largest on the Gulf Coast . The Park is located 20 miles east of Houston in Chambers County , directly across the Houston Ship Channel from the Bayport and Barbours Cut container terminals . Cedar Crossing is ideal for light or heavy industrial , manufacturing of all types , waterfront operations and warehouse\/distribution facilities . Approximately 65 % of the Park remains undeveloped and is available for future expansion . \u201cThis transaction comes at a time when low natural gas prices are driving manufacturing expansions and relocations across the U.S. , \u201d said John Morris , C & W\u2019s Industrial Services Lead for the Americas . \u201cWe see trade between South America , Asia and the U.S. poised for dynamic growth due to the completion of the Panama Canal expansion in 2015.\u201d To date , Cedar Crossing has attracted many top-tier companies with significant operations : Home Depot\u2019s 755,000-square-foot distribution hub , Walmart\u2019s 4.2 million-square-foot import center ( their largest in the U.S. ) , JSW Steel\u2019s plate and pipe manufacturing facilities , and Borusan Mannesmann\u2019s $ 148 million steel pipe manufacturing facility . Other occupants include Exel , S & B Engineers , National Oilwell , GE Water , TMK-IPSCO , Century Asphalt , Samson Controls , and LS Energy Fabrication . Perfectly positioned as one of the world\u2019s most important intermodal logistics parks , Cedar Crossing offers dual rail service with considerable rail infrastructure ; specifically , 57 miles within the Park , with existing storage for over 1,700 railcars . The Park has benefitted from the construction of the Fred Hartman Bridge , the completion of the Grand Parkway , and a $ 50 million investment of public funds by the Chambers County Improvement District I for infrastructure improvements including the Public Barge Dock and its recent expansion .
