Summary | A high school sports coach has recently been fired because he was secretly recorded while speaking to his team. The record alluded to physical violence - which he corrected in the recorded speech as a mere metaphor, not an actual recommendation - and inappropriate words. It is not entirely clear whether the student was allowed to record the conversation because a locker room speech is not technically in a classroom and was not explicitly classified as private. Coaches need to be aware that there is no privacy with smartphones everywhere.

Summary | The LAPD has launched an app to keep citizens informed about local police matters without middle men. The app also enables users to file complaints or commendations about officers as well as direct them to the nearest police station. The LAPD decided to provide this service as a free app because many locals do not have home computers but most do have a smartphone.
