Teachers' contracts hinder misconduct investigation

A 1990s agreement, in exchange for a pay cut, to place 'pre-disciplinary' documents in an 'expired file' after four years complicates L.A. Unified's attempts to review records.

The Los Angeles school district's effort to identify teachers suspected of misconduct has been complicated by a little-known clause in the teachers' contracts that limits how long allegations can remain in a teacher's file.

Filippi set to miss start of season

Luca Filippi believes it is unlikely he will sign a deal in time to start the IndyCar season as he continues to chase a switch to the US-based series. The Italian, who finished as runner-up to Romain Grosjean in GP2 last year, has been chasing an IndyCar drive all winter. He has been linked to a seat alongside Takuma Sato at Rahal Letterman Racing, but his chances of landing a deal before the St Petersburg season opener on March 25 appear slim

Brawn says W03 not ready to win yet

Ross Brawn has seen enough of his Mercedes team's new car this week to be convinced it is a step forward over last year's contender - but he does not think it is good enough yet to win Formula 1 races. As the Brackley-based outfit prepares to wrap up its first full pre-season test, Brawn feels the W03 has delivered exactly what he had hoped for at this stage of the campaign

Google and Facebook Are Our Political Masters

John Naughton, Guardian
Among all the excited commentary about the role of social networking in the Arab spring, one uncomfortable fact stands out: internet censorship and surveillance are alive and well in Tunisia and Egypt. They're being orchestrated and supervised by (mostly) different people, of course, but the intermediaries implementing it are the same as before: western technology companies that are apparently prepared to sell filtering and surveillance kit to anyone with a government purchase order. And the result is the same as before: a webpage saying "Sorry: the page you requested does not...

California's parent trigger law meets new tests in Adelanto

The Adelanto school board rejects parents' petition for change, saying signatures to overhaul Desert Trails Elementary were rescinded. Now a controversy that mirrors one in Compton is simmering.

Kobayashi plays down Sauber?s pace

Kamui Kobayashi warned not to pay too much attention to his timesheet-topping performance in Barcelona testing on Friday - but believes Sauber looks capable of achieving consistent points finishes and has made strides with its reliability. The Japanese driver set the fastest time of the Catalunya testing week yesterday morning with a lap in 1m22.312s. "It's testing, it's better than nothing and it's better than last, for sure, but I don't think this is a real result," he said.
