    Prosecutors seek 13-month prison sentence for ex-Stanford coach in admissions scandal

    LOS ANGELES - The fate of John Vandemoer, the former sailing coach at Stanford University who participated in the college admissions scandal, will take one of several very different turns Wednesday when he is sentenced in a Boston courtroom.
