Nick Burnett has eliminated live lectures in one of his presentational speaking classes this semester at Sacramento State.

He gave all the lectures this summer in a studio, where they were recorded and launched onto iTunes. And in what Burnett believes is the first such large-scale experiment at California State University, Sacramento, 224 of his students will be able to hear him only by downloading his lectures onto their iPods or MP3 players.

ST. LOUIS — The public's frustration over the inability to punish those accused of using a phony identity to send hurtful messages to a teenager who later killed herself has pushed policy makers into action. But, some experts are already questioning whether the new laws will work in an electronic medium that is evolving daily.

Since the story of 13-year-old Megan Meier's suicide became public last month, at least two local cities have made Internet harassment a crime. Megan's hometown of Dardenne Prairie, Mo., was first. Then Florissant, Mo., followed up with its own ordinance.

"Somebody has got to do something," said Dardenne Prairie Mayor Pam Fogarty. "This is uncharted territory. Well, somebody's got to put the chart down."

Sometime in the last year, "Need for Speed" decided to cut its hair, shave its face, buy a nice suit and start acting like an adult. The result is "Need for Speed ProStreet," which takes a franchise known for cop chases and street culture and wedges it into a world of sanctioned, legit racing that's scarcely more rebellious than a NASCAR event on network television.

From wikipedia:
Annie Jump Cannon (December 11, 1863 – April 13, 1941) was an American astronomer whose cataloguing work was instrumental in the development of contemporary stellar classification. With Edward C. Pickering, she is credited with the creation of the Harvard Classification Scheme, which was the first serious attempt to organize and classify stars based on their temperatures.

Family
The daughter of shipbuilder and state senator Wilson Lee Cannon and his second wife, Mary Elizabeth Jump, Annie grew up in Dover, Delaware. Mary gave birth to two more daughters after Annie, in addition to the four step-children she inherited in the marriage. Annie's mother had a childhood interest in star-gazing, and she passed that interest along to her daughter.
