Despite its problems in the Gulf of Mexico, BP is getting $300 million in stimulus money to build a power plant in Southern California. Also, with its reputation for high education standards, why has California joined 33 other states by adopting the "common core" for English and Math? Plus, a conversation with LA Unified's new deputy superintendent, rumored as the choice to replace Ray Cortines.
