• "They're not going to catch everyone who does it," Sterling said. "Therefore, it's probably going to be overlooked by some. But others, once they hear it's a law, they may not do it."
• The bill specifically calls on the state to educate people about the change in law, which would take effect July 1. Axdahl and other Public Safety Department staff will do just that with their campaign.
• "We're prepared to sit down and see what it's going to take," Axdahl said. "If it does get signed into law, we would talk about the fact that it would be illegal."

• AMES, Iowa (AP) -- Taylor Greenfield might be the only Stanford player happy about traveling 1,800 miles to the middle of Iowa to open the NCAA women's basketball tournament.
• The Cardinal weren't necessarily shocked to be a No. 2 seed. A loss to Southern California in the Pac-12 semifinals probably sealed that fate. They were surprised, however, by being sent to Ames instead of Los Angeles or Seattle for the first and second rounds.

• Greenfield was a high school All-American at Ballard Community High School, and she led her team to a state championship. She disappointed some of the locals when she accepted Stanford's offer over one from Iowa State.
• She's averaging 5.7 points in 17 minutes a game and is shooting 39.1 percent on (Continued on page 27)
