The girl said she learned a lot about using a circuit board to conduct electricity and transfer power to a computer. She has also enjoyed learning how to make sunglasses, which Amerikaner tried on and marveled at. "What we're creating here (with the classes) is modeling and mentoring opportunities to work with thekidshereandwhenthey get out," Muench said. Amerikaner said she en- joyed her visit to Tehama County and was impressed with the Maker Space as well as the 3-D printing technology,somethingshe'd never really seen before. "I'm just blown away by the people," Amerikaner said. "The people are amaz- ing in this community and aresosmartandpassionate about helping the kids who need more than the usual help to succeed. It's helpful to be reminded of things like this when you're work- ing in Washington D.C."

University of California President Janet Napolitano immediatelyblastedtheau- ditasseriouslydeficient,not helpful and unfair. She ar- gued nonresident admis- sions have helped keep doors open for resident stu- dents at a time when state assistancehasdroppedcon- siderably. The audit undermines the work of faculty and staff who have kept stan- dardshigh"duringaperiod when state funding was cut by about one third," Napoli- tano wrote in response. TheUniversityofCalifor- nia enrolls about 250,000 students across its 10 cam- puses. It is required to offer an undergraduate spot to the top one-eighth of Cali- fornia's high school grad- uates, but those students don'talwaysgetadmittedto the campus of their choice. The state audit found the university's drive to ad- mit nonresidents has re- sulted in an 82 percent in- crease in the nonresident student population from the academic years 2010-11 through2014-15,translating into 18,000 students. Overthesameperiod,the audit found a drop in res- ident enrollment of 1 per- cent, or 2,200 students. The audit also found the university relaxed its aca- demic standards for non- residents, admitting 16,000 students whose scores fell below the median for ad- mitted resident students. The audit recommended cappingthenumberofnon- residents at what it was be- fore last decade's recession: 5 percent of new under- graduate enrollment ver- sus 17 percent in 2014-15. It also recommended the uni- versitylookatotherways to curb costs, including execu- tive pay. In fiscal year 2014-15, nonresident undergradu- ates paid about $37,000 in tuition and fees compared with $12,240 for students who met state residency re- quirements. UC FROM PAGE 1 By Tami Abdollah The Associated Press WASHINGTON TheFBI'san- nouncement that it mysteri- ously hacked into an iPhone is a public setback for Apple Inc., as consumers suddenly discovertheycan'tkeeptheir most personal information safe. Apple remains in the dark about how to restore the security of its flagship product. The government said it was able to break into an iPhone used by a gunman in a mass shooting in Cali- fornia, but it didn't say how. ThatpuzzledApplesoftware engineers — and outside ex- perts — about how the FBI brokethedigitallocksonthe phone without Apple's help. It also complicated Apple's jobrepairingflawsthatjeop- ardize its software. The Justice Department's announcement that it was dropping a legal fight to compel Apple to help it ac- cess the phone also took away any obvious legal ave- nues Apple might have used to learn how the FBI did it. The Justice Department de- clined through a spokesman to comment Tuesday. It is a closely held secret how the FBI hacked the iPhone, but a few clues have emerged. A senior law en- forcement official told The AssociatedPressthattheFBI managed to defeat an Apple security feature that threat- ened to delete the phone's contents if the FBI failed to enter the correct passcode combination after 10 tries. That allowed the govern- ment to guess the correct passcode by trying random combinations until the soft- ware accepted the right one. It wasn't clear how the FBI also bypassed a related Apple security feature that deliberately introduces in- creasing time delays in how frequentlyguessescanbeen- tered. The official spoke on condition of anonymity be- causethispersonwasnotau- thorized to discuss the tech- nique publicly. The FBI hacked into the iPhone used by gunman Syed Farook, who died with his wife in a gun battle with police after they killed 14 people in December in San Bernardino, California. The iPhone, issued to Farook by his employer, the county health department, was found in a vehicle the day after the shooting; two per- sonal phones were found de- stroyedcompletelysotheFBI couldn'trecoverinformation from them. TheFBIwasreviewingin- formation from the iPhone, and it was unclear whether anything useful would be found. Apple said in a statement late Monday that the legal case to force its cooperation "should never have been brought," and it promised to increase the security of its products.

FLAGSHIP PRODUCT CAROLYN KASTER — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE The FBI's announcement that it mysteriously hacked into an iPhone is a setback for Apple and increases pressure on the technology company to restore the security of its flagship product. FBI's hack into iPhone in cr ea se s pr es su re o n Apple security By Michael Tarm The Associated Press SYCAMORE, ILL. A former security guard serving a life sentence in the 1957 slaying of a 7-year-old Illinois girl pleaded with a judge Tues- day to quickly consider his latest bid for freedom, citing a prosecutor's scathing re- viewoftheinvestigationthat landed him in prison. With his legs and wrists shackled, 76-year-old Jack McCullough spoke up at the end of a 20-minute hearing thatnevergotbeyondhouse- keeping matters and didn't even mention the stunning review released last week by the county's public pros- ecutor until McCullough himself brought it up. He pleaded to know how long the post-conviction petition process would take, but got no clear answer. "Yourhonor,"McCullough said, "I've been in prison locked up now for almost five years, I'm innocent, and I can prove I'm innocent. There has to be an end to this somewhere." But DeKalb County Judge William Brady responded that all he could do at pres- ent was appoint him an at- torney and outline the pro- cess that could result in a new trial. McCullough was con- victed in 2012 in the slay- ing of Maria Ridulph in the small community of Syca- more. It was one of the old- est cases in the U.S. ever to go to trial. But last week, the DeKalb County state's attor- ney released the findings of a six-month review that convinced him McCullough could not have commit- ted the crime. State's Attor- ney Richard Schmack, who had no role in McCullough's prosecution, found fault with the investigation and said new evidence and a re- view of old documents cor- roborated an alibi. The review gives new mo- mentumtoMcCullough'sbid for freedom. Tuesday's hear- ing took place in a DeKalb County courtroom in Syca- more,whereRidulphwasab- ducted, stabbed and choked to death. But the review is alsoplungingRidulph'sfam- ily back into the decades of emotional turmoil they've endured since the little girl disappeared from a quiet street corner where she was playing in the snow more than half a century ago. Her brother, Charles Rid- ulph, filed a motion Mon- day asking the judge to ap- point a special prosecutor. Like other family members, he remains convinced Mc- Cullough is the killer and he hopes an outside prose- cutor will ensure the man stays behind bars.

This familiar quote of Shakespeare's stuckin my mind when I received an e mail from the wife of Drayton Douglas Wade, Jr. He was a fellow candidate when we were in O.C.S. together back in Ft. Benning, Georgia, over 60 years ago. Upon graduation we both took our 2nd Lieutenant commissions in the Medical Field Service Corps. We were both assigned to Ft. Sam Houston in Texas for a 2 months course on how to run a MASH unit (remember the great movie by that name?) . While at Ft. Sam we lived off base with our respective wives in two nearby apartments where we be- came good friends with his first wife Dot who many years later, we learned , succumbed to breast cancer. If readers feel they are getting a little too much information, that's understandable, but I'm not fleshing out Doug's obituary in the manner of B. Cornelius attempting to meet his word count. After Ft. Sam, Doug went on to the hell hole of Korea where he was awarded the Korean Service Medal with two bronze service stars, several other medals and a promotion to 1st Lieutenant. I, as previously reported, served quietly in Alaska, without distinction...and remained a 2nd Lieutenant for my entire tour of duty. However, we both survived and had a happy ending to our tour of duties. I returned to my old hometown and Doug back to his in North Carolina. He got into the banking business and climbed the ladder of success with a long and successful ca- reer and became a board member in a hospital and a university, while enjoying the comfort of two homes; one in North Carolina and one in Florida. We exchanged Xmas cards over the many years ever since. But that's not the story. About a week ago, I received an e mail, ostensibly from Doug. It was brief and nonsensical and I immediately suspected that his e mail accounthad been "hacked" and the message was not from him. To reinforce my suspicions I responded to the e mail, suggested that he had been careless with his internet corre- spondence… and ended by saying that the missus and I were in good health and hoped that he and his second wife Toni were enjoying their golden years, or something original like that. And then 5 days later I received an e mail from his wife saying Doug had passed away the first part of March! There is, of course, no connection between the two e mails. He was not sending me a message from the grave prior to the mes- sage from his wife 5 days later. However, such "happenings" do give us pause…hence the Shakespearean quote. The strangest part of all may be the fact that I had not corresponded via e mail with Doug for many years…only by Xmas cards. How did the hacker get my e mail address? Curious! R.I.P.
