Page Layout ⇒ titlesec - problem with aligning paragraphs headings

[MCForgi]

Hi everybody,

when I use the titlesec package to for leftmargin paragraph headings,
this headings will align perfectly with normal text, but they won't
align with an equation- or an itemize-environment in the first line.
How do I make them align?

See this pdf for a visualisation of the problem:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/36184235/Titl ... eft-Margin

Code:
\documentclass[]{article}

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper,left=9cm,right=3cm, top=2cm, bottom=3cm}

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\paragraph}[leftmargin]{\normalfont\vspace{14pt}\sffamily
\filleft}{\theparagraph}{0em}{}[]
\titlespacing{\paragraph}{15pc}{-0.5pc}{1pc}

\begin{document}
\paragraph{Was versteht man unter einer Draisine bzw. einer
Laufmaschine?}
Die Draisine oder Laufmaschine (so auch der vom Erfinder verwendete
Name) ist ein einspuriges, von Menschenkraft betriebenes Fahrzeug ohne
Pedale, das als Urform des heutigen Fahrrads gilt.
\paragraph{Wie viel ist dreizehn mal acht?}
\begin{equation}
7\times8=8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8=56
\end{equation}

\paragraph{Aus welchen Zutaten besteht Schokolade?}
\begin{itemize}
\item Kakao
\item Milch
\item Zucker
\end{itemize}

\end{document}

Thanks for any ideas,
Mcforgi

Thanks gmedina,

I would have helped (probably easier than to talk about crossposts), but I feel a bit fooled being asked to solve a problem without knowing that other places are already on it as well.
