The specific workshop goal will be to classify the most important directions for the future development of the electron device models, not limiting the discussion to compact models, but including physical, analytical and numerical models, to clearly identify areas that need further research and possible contact points between the different modeling domains. This workshop is designed for device process engineers (CMOS, SOI, BiCMOS, SiGe, GaN, SiC) who are interested in device modeling; ICs designers (Flexible/RF/Analog/Mixed-Signal/SoC) and those starting in that area as well as device characterization, modeling and parameter extraction engineers. The content will be beneficial for anyone who needs to learn what is really behind the IC simulation in modern device models.
Our presentation includes 3 sections. First, we do a brief overview of GaN HEMT process, device structure and physical models from a TCAD perspective. Then we examine the current status of GaN HEMT compact modeling standardization effort driven by the CMC. Finally, we will review SPICE modeling examples of such devices based on TCAD simulations, addressing specific advantages of this approach.
Under bipolar current flow, electron–hole pair recombination at basal plane dislocations (BPDs) in the thick drift layers of 4H-SiC power diodes and transistors induces stacking fault (SF) formation and expansion, which causes forward-voltage degradation. Although this phenomenon is primarily observed in bipolar devices, certain modes of unipolar device system operation can use body diodes as freewheeling diodes, thereby generating bipolar current flow during parts of a power switching cycle. BPD-induced SF-related degradation has slowed the wide adoption of high voltage SiC power devices including 10 kV MOSFETs. In addition, the ruggedness of high voltage SiC devices needs to be proven out for volume market insertion. In this presentation, we investigate the effects of bipolar current stress on the electrical characteristics of high voltage SiC transistors. Ruggedness of 10 kV 15 A rated SiC MOSFETs is also examined through their capability to withstand avalanche currents when subjected to unclamped inductive switching. MOSFETs withstood single avalanche pulses with a maximum energy of 7.7 J at 34 A and a time duration of 27 μs before the onset of catastrophic failure.
"A major impact of white noise on millimeter-wave circuits has recently been experimentally demonstrated . Measurement-based predictive device noise modeling, therefore, seems vital to success of 5G and Beyond 5G. In MOSFETs, white noise often dominates at frequencies above 10 MHz, which conventional 1/f noise measurement systems cannot cover. The ""high-frequency noise probe""  is a promising approach to direct measurement of white noise. We measured high-frequency noise of MOSFETs from 10 kHz to 100 MHz using a high-frequency noise probe . In this paper, we compare the intensity of measured white noise with that given by a SPICE noise model formula and discuss possible origins (thermal/shot noise).  J.

We propose a compact model of Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) devices. It is physics-based, and the detailed understanding of the device physics and of the role played by defects is achieved by using self-consistent physics simulations based on a multi-scale approach. The set of compact equations describing the device switching in different operating conditions (DC and switching) includes also the effects of cycling variability. The effect of Random Telegraph Noise (RTN), which constitutes an additional variability source, is also included in the compact model by means of a hybrid approach, based on self-consistent physics simulations and geometrical simplifications. The compact model predictions are validated by comparison with both a large experimental data set obtained by measuring RRAM devices in different conditions, and data reported in the literature. In addition, we show how the model enables advanced circuit simulations for many emerging applications. Particularly, we demonstrate how the model can be used to i) design the building block of a Truly-Random Number Generator circuit exploiting the RTN randomness as an entropy source; ii) design and evaluate the performance of a logic-in-memory circuit architecture implementing a 1-bit full-adder accounting for the intrinsic variability of the resistive states and the logic state degradation.
We present the GTS CellDesigner methodology for consistent PPA and thermal evaluation of standard logic cells based on a chain of hierarchically calibrated TCAD models. The methodology is used to benchmark the novel Complementary FET (CFET) against more conventional technologies based on FinFET, stacked nanowire FET (NWFET), and stacked nanosheet FET (NSFET). The 3D-stacking of NMOS and PMOS channels and the use of buried power rails mandates transient TCAD device simulations of whole CFET logic cells. Power and performance are benchmarked by comparing the CFET's switching transients to those of conventional technologies. The CFET architecture not only impacts the parasitic R/C-network, but introduces entirely new parasitic effects, while also affecting power density and heat-flow.
We present a compact model for the new TeraFET design with identical source and drain antennas. This device enables a tunable resonant polarization-sensitive plasmonic spectrometer operation in the sub-terahertz and terahertz (THz) range of frequencies at room temperature. It could be implemented in different materials systems including silicon. The p-diamond TeraFETs support operation in the 200 to 600 GHz windows.

Q: Can Android DatePicker date format be modified? The basic DatePicker at the Android Developers site http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-datepicker.html appears to display in the format 4-26-2012. Can that formatting be changed to 04-26-2012? It appears to display M-d-yyyy but I need it to display MM-dd-yyyy so 01-01-2012 instead of 1-1-2012. Can the basic DatePicker be tweaked like this?

A: Hope so you where looking for this only.
To override the DatePicker format the best bet would be to override one of its constructors with a slight edit to the original code. You can edit the ViewGroup in code for you but I'd seriously consider not doing it that way.
Refer this Android: How to change the DatePicker view date format from MM/dd/yyyy to dd/MM/yyyy?

A: You know you can extract date, month, year, hour, minute and second and pad it and use it in any format you want. Just create a function. That's how I resolved the date issue when working on .NET web service, SQL Server and android.

The Monson After Passenger Service
Author Topic: The Monson After Passenger Service (Read 9270 times)
Roger Whitney
Last week I wrote about the end of passenger service on the Monson. But what happened after the little Laconia Combine was pushed into a siding and abandoned?
Passenger service ended on November 1, 1938 and longtime supt. Morrill retired a month later on December 1, 1938. It looked like the end was near. But the Monson survived for another 5 years!
The Monson ceased to become a common carrier soon after the termination of passenger service. Since the slate company owned the railroad for a long time prior to this, it became just another industrial railroad. According to Bob Jones, the slate company stated that they could operate a locomotive and 28 cars for less money than it would cost to purchase and operate trucks. They were counting on the fact that even though the railroad was deteriorating, they could still operate until the equipment was so broken down that it was unusable.
Despite the slate company's view of not operating trucks, they never-the-less began to appear. Trains began to run less frequently and only if there was a slate shipment too big for the trucks. The Monson still had the mail contract which went by truck. But there was polishing sand to be moved to the slate finishing sheds and the only practical way to move it was by the railroad. It took three flatcars with side boards to equal a standard gage gondola, and it all had to be shoveled by hand from the B&A and later off loaded at the finishing sheds in Monson. They must have had some coal to haul for the slate company also.
In February of 1941, the Monson had the distinction of being the last of the original Maine Two-Footers when the B&H was finally abandoned. It evidently hit the Monson boys pretty hard. But demand for slate increased after December 7, 1941. Business boomed but it was too late! By that time, the infrastructure of the Monson was in such disrepair that it couldn't handle the demands on it. Derailments to and from the junction each trip were common place. The train crew was about the only employees left and had to do any track repairs necessary to get over the line.
On July 12, 1943 the slate company received permission to begin common carrier service by motor truck and on August 14, 1942 the company applied to the PUC to cease all operations and dismantle trackage. On October 4, 1943 permission was granted.
Another blog will discuss the dismantling of the Monson.

Re: The Monson After Passenger Service
So for how long did the Slate company continue to haul the mail after the railroad was abandoned. And are there pictures of the trucks they used?

The Monson Maine Slate Company went out of business about the same time as the Monson Railroad and sold most of its machinery and equipment and significant land holdings east of its mill in 1944. It probably was the railroad, rather than MMSC, that had the mail contract until then, even if the mail was actually delivered in a truck owned by MMSC. I don't know if the Monson Railroad Company, under the majority ownership of Francis Marshall beginning in 1944, continued to have the mail contract by truck. I don't recall seeing a photo of a truck owned by either MRR or MMSC.
According to Bob Jones, it was actually August 14, 1943, not 1942, when the MRR filed to abandon the railroad.
Jeff Acock

Is there documentation that the Monson ceased to be a common carrier after 1938? While not unhead-of this would be an unusual step for a railroad to take, as it was still interchanging traffic with the BAR and relinquishing common carriage would mean the loss of joint rates.
It was not unusual for short connecting railroads like the Monson to be reduced in their later years to carrying only the traffic of their owners, thereby becoming de facto private carriers while still remaining common carriers at law. George W. Hilton called these roads nominal common carriers.
A rather extreme example would be the Sumpter Valley Railway in Oregon which abandoned its 60-mile mainline in 1947 but retained 1.5 miles of dual-gauge switching trackage to connect a large mill of the Oregon Lumber Co. (which owned the railroad) with the Union Pacific. This tiny remnant lasted until 1961, switching standard gauge cars into the mill with a narrow gauge locomotive, and remained a common carrier at law. The reason, of course, was that by travelling that 1.5 miles over SVRy track every carload entering or leaving the mill was elgible for origination or termination fees and joint rates with the Union Pacific or other roads it ran on.
It's obvious that the "common carrier at law" designation was not something that a railroad was eager to give up even though it had ceased to serve any general transport function. The Jones book lists a slate of officers during the Monson's final years, which indicates that it was still seperately incorporated. Along with the record of the company's petition to retain common carriage by truck after the railroad's final abandonment this suggests that the Monson probably remained a common carrier throughout its existance.

The Victoria Hotel in Sidmouth, part of the Brend Hotel Group, promises its guests that: "From the moment you step through the original carriage portico, you will be surrounded by warmth and refinement." Where the exquisite décor and four-star service provides the refinement, a new A-rated efficient boiler from Potterton Commercial is now providing the warmth.
With such a pledge to live up to, it is essential that visitors to the Victoria are kept warm and comfortable all year round. That's why this year the hotel acted fast to replace its outdated and inefficient heating system with a new boiler.
Set in a landmark Victorian building, the hotel offers four-star accommodation overlooking Sidmouth's seafront. Whilst its location offers guests a beautiful view, British seaside weather means that the hotel's heating system must work harder in the colder months to keep its guests cosy. As it is a listed building, modern insulation measures such as double glazing are not an option, so energy efficiency gains need to be made elsewhere.
The hotel had some key requirements for its new heating system. It needed a boiler that could fit within the limited footprint of the existing plant room on the ground floor of the property. There also needed to be some form of back-up in case of a heating system failure.
Gage, who also manages heating systems in sister hotels across the Brend Group, enlisted the help of Marc Coombes at Sidmarc, who has worked with the hotel group for two decades, to find the perfect solution. In order to recommend the correctly-sized boiler to match the hotel's space heating load, Coombes needed to survey the property.
As a Potterton Commercial boiler was already providing heating for guests at another hotel in the group, Phil Smith, area sales manager was invited to quote for the job and discuss how its boilers can meet this hotel's particular needs.
The new system was installed in the summer of 2017, when heating wasn't required, so that the guest experience wouldn't be affected. As the Sirius unit is a condensing boiler whereas the previous boilers weren't, a new flue was required. This was designed and located in such a way so that there was no need to relocate the Sirius boiler. However, Sidmarc did change some of the pipework so that better access can be gained to the unit, pumps, flue and pipework for ongoing maintenance or repairs in the future.
The hotel also appreciated the company's help with overseeing the commissioning process and setting the boiler's weather compensation curve, at no extra cost.

From EL FARO ENGLISH: Ortega's Single-Candidate Elections
By: El Faro English

Welcome back to El Faro English.
Nicaragua, in Brief: The results of the November 7 presidential elections are now clear: Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo will run for reelection without any legitimate opponents.
The Latest From Nicaragua
The last hope for any semblance of free and fair elections in Nicaragua in November has vanished after the government of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo canceled the legal status of the last opposition party, Citizens Alliance for Liberty (ACxL), on Friday, August 6.
Just 10 days before, ACxL announced its presidential ticket: businessman and former Contra leader Oscar Sobalvarro as presidential candidate, alongside running mate and former Miss Nicaragua Berenice Quezada. The government then placed Quezada on house arrest for terrorism charges, canceled the party, thus making the candidates ineligible for election, and stripped the party president of her Nicaraguan citizenship.
These actions underscore the government's "determination to govern without political legitimacy, toughening the repressive strategy to extreme levels in order to sustain a totalitarian regime," writes exiled Nicaraguan journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro in Confidencial.
Sanctions Upon Sanctions
On August 7, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the cancellation of ACxL a "final blow against Nicaragua's prospects for a free and fair election." The day before, the U.S. Senate voted to send the Renacer Act to the House of Representatives. Among other provisions, the bill calls for a federal review of the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and sanctions coordination with Canada and the European Union.
The same day as the passage of Renacer, the State Department announced sanctions of 50 immediate family members of Nicaraguan politicians, judges, and prosecutors which the department deems to have directly contributed to thwarting free and fair elections.
On August 2, the European Union announced sanctions to freeze the assets and forbid citizens and companies from transferring funds to eight high-level Ortega officials, including Murillo and one of the first couple's sons.
Even a long-time Ortega ally has now joined the international criticism of the regime. Former Brazilian President Lula da Silva urged Ortega "not to abandon democracy" in an interview with Mexican TV program Largo Aliento. He emphasized the importance of alternating leaders for a healthy democracy.
Fanning a Nicaraguan Exodus
The Ortega-Murillo regime has extirpated any viable opposition candidates, muffled independent press, and scared protesters away from the streets. More than 30 presidential candidates, activists, and opposition leaders have been detained in the past two months and the repression is fueling an exodus of Nicaraguan migrants heading for the U.S. The international community has reacted time and again with condemnation, sanctions, and threats of further sanction or economic isolation.
As international pressure mounts, Ortega issued a presidential decree August 5 ordering international governments and organizations to request permission from the Nicaraguan government before issuing international prizes to Nicaraguan citizens.
Nicaraguan writer and vocal critic of the Ortega administration, Gioconda Belli, compared the decree with the laws of Macondo, the fictitious setting of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel One Hundred Years Years of Solitude. "The prizes that we win as Nicaraguans for our personal merits belong to us personally," she tweeted. Nicaragua has become a country "that is not for anyone if it isn't for them," Belli writes in Confidencial.
Con ese absurdo Art 24 que salió hoy, el Estado Nic se atribuye facultades que no posee más que en el imaginario absolutista de la pareja en el poder. Los premios que ganamos los nicas por méritos individuales nos pertenecen a título personal. Nada de eso les toca aprobar. ?
— Gioconda Belli (@GiocondaBelliP) August 6, 2021
"Maintaining the structures that have ensured impunity cannot be the basis for building the future of the country," said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas director at Amnesty International. "To put an end to the crisis, human rights violations must be stopped, those identified as suspects must be investigated impartially and promptly, and the victims must obtain truth, justice and reparations."
Despite their names on the ballot, the first couple's legitimate rule has already ended, writes Chamorro, the exiled Nicaraguan journalist, in a column for El Faro.
"The real crossroads for Nicaragua are not the results of the elections on November 7, which will worsen the national political crisis," he writes. "But rather how to initiate a democratic transition and call new elections in 2022, without Ortega and Murillo."

Ask Matt: Death on 'The 100,' 'Transplant,' 'Hot Bench' and Syndication Shuffles & More
Matt Roush September 15, 2020, 9:00 am
Dean Buscher/The CW
Welcome to the Q&A with TV critic — also known to some TV fans as their "TV therapist" — Matt Roush, who'll try to address whatever you love, loathe, are confused or frustrated or thrilled by in today's vast TV landscape. (We know background music is too loud, but there's always closed-captioning.)
One caution: This is a spoiler-free zone, so we won't be addressing upcoming storylines here unless it's already common knowledge. Please send your questions and comments to [email protected] (or use the form at the end of the column) and follow me on Twitter (@TVGMMattRoush). Look for Ask Matt columns on many Tuesdays and Fridays.
Is This the First Look at 'The 100' Grieving That Major Death? (PHOTOS)
When will Clarke tell the others what she did?
Does Killing a Favorite Character Punish Fan Loyalty?
Question: [SPOILER ALERT] How much pressure does a long-standing show like The 100 have to "shock" its fans? It seems to me that Jason Rothenberg just plain killed Bellamy for shock value. Bellamy was a core character that in NO way would have been killed by Clarke. It made way more sense when she killed Finn (killing him to save him from pain). But now she goes for the kill shot on Bellamy? There were so many ways out of that situation. The show just made its fans feel — and the only way I can say it is — stupid for following this show for so long. I have survived a lot of beloved characters' deaths and the show was better for it (the controversial Veronica Mars, for example), but this one was senseless and cruel to its fans. And just made me feel stupid for watching it. Is this show that out of touch? And do they do it just for the publicity? — Nancy
Matt Roush: I often sense a feeling of betrayal from fans when this sort of event happens, and I get it. But we're talking about The 100 here, which has never shied away from doing dreadful things to beloved characters (i.e., Finn), and with only a few episodes to go in this final season, I'd have been even more shocked if they hadn't pulled a big and terrible twist like this so close to the finish line. There aren't many happier-ever-afters on The 100, just saying. Even so, having one core character take out another is gutsy, and risks alienating the audience.
'The 100's Shocking Character Death Felt Wrong — Here's Why
It's not that this character died... it's how it happened.
But to look at outside forces like some undefined "pressure" or a desire for "publicity" doesn't give the show's creators enough credit. This is their show and their choice, and it's not like this is a Game of Thrones-size hit, so even though this was epic within the world of The 100, it's not like this was contrived for the potential of boosting ratings or anything. I'd take Jason Rothenberg at his word when he tweeted that the death of Bellamy "had to go to the heart of what the show is all about: Survival. Who you're willing to protect. And who you're willing to sacrifice." Whether you agree or can accept this reasoning is up to you. But there are still a few episodes to go for Clarke and the other survivors to deal with this tragedy, so maybe there's a way for this to be redeemed in the eyes of the fans.
Two Scalpels Up for Transplant
Question: I would like to give a big endorsement to the medical drama Transplant from CTV, now airing on NBC, as I am a big supporter of any medical dramas and this certainly fills the void. I especially like the fact that it publicizes being made in Canada and not try to seem like it is in the U.S. Being as the transplant is actually a Syrian asylum seeker looking to work in Canada, he realistically stands a better chance of being accepted there than here. But could NBC actually pick up future seasons of this, perhaps as a summer replacement, or is this just something to get us through the pandemic?
'Game of Thrones' EPs to Adapt 'The Three-Body Problem' Trilogy for Netflix
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are tackling sci-fi for their latest TV venture.
I would also like to ask this question of all the shows starting in October on the CW network, in particular Swamp Thing, which is getting a big promo there, but did I not read somewhere that production on this has stopped and had little chance of returning? I would hate to get interested, only for it to suddenly stop. — JV
Matt Roush: These are two very different situations regarding the patchwork of shows filling the void during a delayed new season. With Transplant (currently filling in for New Amsterdam on Tuesdays before it can return in 2021), this is the sort of show NBC and other broadcast networks have frequently turned to as summer, or possibly midseason, replacements. The series is co-produced by NBCUniversal's International Studios division, so is almost an in-house production. Given that it's a hit in Canada, I'm fairly confident you'll continue seeing Transplant either in future summers or elsewhere on NBC's schedule. As for Swamp Thing, that was canceled after its first season and I can't imagine this would have migrated to The CW if the regular season had been able to start on time. Shows like Tell Me a Story, which The CW picked up from CBS All Access, are self-contained seasons — but with Swamp Thing, you'll have to gauge for yourself if you're curious enough to check it out, knowing in advance that it won't come to a proper conclusion.

'He can be his own worst enemy,' Hamza Haq says of his character, a Syrian refugee in Toronto.
Follow the Bouncing-Around Syndicated Shows
Question: I saw that Drew Barrymore's talk show will be airing at 9 am on Channel 2 in NY, which is when Hot Bench has been airing. Is Hot Bench returning for a new season? — Laura, NY
Matt Roush: Yes, Hot Bench is back, but mid-September is traditionally the time when syndicated shows move around to new stations and/or time slots. (In the case of Hot Bench in New York City, it's both.) This shuffle is often done to make room for new shows to get exposure, like the high-profile The Drew Barrymore Show. But Hot Bench isn't going away. For the last 12 weeks, it has been the #2 syndicated show in daytime (including ties) only behind Judge Judy. To find out where Hot Bench is airing in your market, go here. And rule of thumb: If your favorite syndicated show all of a sudden isn't where it used to be, go to its website, and there is usually a similar listing for you to find where it's airing — if it's still airing — in your market.

Why Not Just Show Busted Pilots?
Question: I've been thinking with the pandemic having shut down production and networks trying to fill their schedules, why don't they dip into their vault of unaired TV pilots? We are talking about what's got to be millions upon millions of dollars of content just sitting there waiting to be seen. Who knows, maybe they have a few hit TV shows locked up in the vault. Can't hurt to show them, and even if they are all duds, I'm sure they would still be entertaining to watch, don't you think? — Justin
Matt Roush: There was a time when the networks would show some of these rejected pilots, usually during the summer. (When I was writing for USA Today years ago, I remember reviewing or at least assessing a few of them, under the umbrella title "Pilot Error.") It's not the worst idea — although sometimes they really are just the worst shows, and some pilots I've seen off the record really don't deserve the light of prime time, even as a one-off. I know it's going to be a long September and October, possibly even November and December, as we wait for many shows to return, but I doubt the networks are going to admit to being this desperate to fill the hours.

Still Missing Face Off (So Do I)
Question: Is there any chance Face Off, the competition TV series about special-effects make-up artists, will be back? That was must-watch TV for me. The creativity of the contestants was amazing. — Claudia K
Matt Roush: I loved Face Off as well, and was unhappy when the 13th season, an all-star edition, was announced as the last in 2018. There have been petitions to bring the show back, but for now, that hasn't happened. This wouldn't be the hardest show to put back into production, but there's no sign of a revival. And even if there were, a show in which contestants have to get right in the face (hence the title) of the models they're transforming would be almost impossible to produce until we're on the other side of COVID-19.
Jack Osbourne on Telling His Dad's Story Through A&E's 'Biography'
Plus, 'The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne' EP reflects on 'The Osbournes' impact on reality TV and more.
Question: I just finished watching Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne and my ears still hurt from all the bleeping! Is there a specific reason the makers of TV shows use the obnoxiously painful "bleep" noise instead of simply dropping out the sound when offensive words are spoken but can't be aired? I have previously seen other shows that do this and it's a LOT less irritating! — Laura
Matt Roush: That's the producer's choice, and just like the ongoing epidemic of loud background music (which I get mail about just about daily), they don't seem to mind these aural intrusions. In the case of Ozzy Osbourne, I imagine they figured his fans were used to loud noise so might not mind so much. Besides, going silent isn't really their thing.

ICE: Suspected San Gabriel Valley prostitution…
ICE: Suspected San Gabriel Valley prostitution ring flew under the radar
According to police, units in this apartment building at 109 South Electric Avenue in Alhambra have been used for prostitution. ICE carried out a prostitution sting that included prostitutes living in this apartment.
By Frank C. Girardot | Frank.Girardot@sgvn.com |
PUBLISHED: August 15, 2010 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 10:38 am
ALHAMBRA – A block south of Main Street and two doors down from the All Souls parish rectory federal investigators kept watch on a six-unit apartment building that held a secret.
Their target, Huagui Xiu, aka "Candy Lotto," claimed the building in the 100 block of South Electric Avenue as her home address. Based on documents from the Department of Homeland Security, investigators knew that the tan and brown building housed recent Chinese immigrants.
They believed that Lotto was shuttling some of the immigrants – all women – to another quiet neighborhood in Monterey Park. There, in the 200 block of South Nicholson, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement suspected Lotto operated a brothel.
The operation was nearly flawless. Neither local law enforcement nor neighbors had any clue about what was taking place.
"We didn't know any thing about it," Alhambra police Capt. Jerry Faulkner said. "Usually we encounter this activity at massage parlors or other store front operations."
Neighbors were similarly surprised. The first time Kim Wong heard there were suspected hookers living on her street came via the newspaper.
"We have very good neighbors here," Wong said. "When I first heard of it, I couldn't believe it. We all look out for each other. If there was anything going on there, they didn't bother us."
On Thursday Lotto, 53, of Rowland Heights and her ex-husband Phillip Fu appeared before a U.S. District Judge Marc Goldman in Santa Ana.
While Lotto faces prostitution charges, Fu, 47, is accused of arranging sham marriages. Lotto's bail was set at $250,000 and Fu's at $100,000. Both were placed in home confinement until they can prove any bond money they post comes from legitimate sources, officials said.
Officials said investigators have found marriage documents, green cards, contracts for fees, divorce papers, and the passports of female Chinese nationals in Fu's possession. He is accused of using the documents to bring people into the United States.
Co-defendant Yibin Zhang, 45, of Monterey Park did not appear in court Thursday. Zhang is accused of acting as an enforcer and part-time manager of the Monterey Park brothel, according to a criminal complaint that charges Lotto and Zhang with conspiracy to import and harbor aliens for prostitution.
All three were arrested last Saturday in El Segundo.
A fourth suspect, Jian "David" Gao of San Gabriel, "was charged in Los Angeles County Superior Court with two counts of pimping, pandering and procuring," according to Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County DA's Office.
Fu's attorney said his client has been wrongly targeted.
"Chinese culture has a long history of elders assisting younger people to find suitable marriage partners, and sometimes their expenses have been reimbursed," attorney Glen S. Fleetwood said in a written statement.
"What the United States government views as a crime will be shown in court, at the proper time, to be cultural and linguistic miscommunication," Fleetwood wrote. "California is celebrating the new freedom for adults to marry whom they please. Mr. Fu's efforts to help effectuate marriages for single people of Chinese origin will be shown to be within the confines of the law, and acts of kindness; praiseworthy, not criminal."
Neither Zhang nor Lotto were available for comment.
A woman eating lunch in a barren room at the Alhambra apartment complex also declined to comment.
As a result of what they've learned, agents close to the investigation suspect the Lotto operation's low-key nature could have allowed it to fly under the radar for many years.
Unlike indoor suburban pot farms that cropped up in the San Gabriel Valley in 2007, home-based brothels don't typically draw attention through their excessive uses of water or electricity.
"Because there has been concerted law enforcement, they are trying to be more discreet and they've moved to residential neighborhoods," said Claude Arnold, special agent in charge of Homeland Security investigations for ICE in Los Angeles. "It depends on the community. Generally, they want to be in a community that is that same ethnic community. If they are operating discreetly enough they can go undetected."
Although johns and prostitutes were constantly shuttled into the Monterey Park apartment, surveillance teams observed most of them parking in an attached garage and entering the location that way, court documents indicate.
First-time customers were asked to make several phone calls prior to their arrival – and often were sent in several directions by brothel operators before gaining access.
Additionally, Lotto used business cards that were printed with the words "Flower Shop." Investigators believe the cards appeared innocent enough so that wives and girlfriends wouldn't get suspicious if they stumbled upon them in a man's wallet.
Arnold said there's good reason to believe organized crime had a hand in the operation.
"It is organized crime. The level varies. They are actually smuggling the girls into the country, collecting money and moving them around," Arnold said. "Whether snakeheads or triads are involved, we don't have evidence. But this operation had some connection to higher-level organized crime."
Ultimately, it wasn't a rival organization, a suspicious wife, neighbors or the cops who brought in the case – it was a john.
Facing deportation as a foreign national, the john told investigators about a woman named Candy and how her organization lured "female students into the United States for the purposes of prostitution," according to court documents.
Because organizations dealing in prostitutes share information about their successes and failures, Arnold suspects there are dozens of similar operations nestled in residential neighborhoods throughout the San Gabriel Valley.
"There is no way you can estimate – you don't know what you don't know," said Arnold. "Unless you have someone like this come forward, sometimes you really have no idea. But I would say it's widespread."
