CPS CEO Huberman warns of 37-student class sizes Chicago Schools CEO Ron Huberman Monday briefed principals on the grim possibility of class sizes of 37 kids, no non-varsity sports, and cutbacks in assistant principals and clerks if the system must trim $700 million from its upcoming budget, documents obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times indicate. Hundreds of teaching jobs also could be at risk. Full-day kindergarten, magnet schools, gifted programs, early childhood programs and bilingual education also would take a hit under the plan.

A final thought: Kansas vs. Kentucky in NCAA final Herb Gould: For all the talk about parity in college basketball, I once again don't see it at the top. In the last three years, only one team that wasn't a No. 1 or 2 seed reached the Final Four -- and that was a No. 3 seed. This year should be no different. That's why I'm going to pick a championship game between Kansas and Kentucky.

Local talent Bowersox, Dewyze in 'Idol' spin Bill Zwecker: Less than an hour after learning they had made the final 12 on Fox's ''American Idol,'' Crystal Bowersox and Lee Dewyze arrived Thursday night at a nightclub on L.A.'s busy La Cienga Boulevard for their first taste of what ''Idol'' stardom could bring them. ''This is insane. This is crazy. This is nuts,'' Dewyze told the Sun-Times, spinning around to take in the media melee of shouting reporters, flashing photographers and TV journalists.

Toyota on alleged runaway Prius: This car's OK Toyota dismissed the story of a man who claimed his Prius sped out of control on a California freeway, saying Monday that its own tests found the car's gas pedal and backup safety system were working just fine. The automaker stopped short of saying James Sikes had staged a hoax last week but said his account did not square with a series of tests it conducted on the gas-electric hybrid. Toyota said its own testing found Sikes had rapidly pressed the gas and brakes back and forth more than 250 times.
