UCLA's ANNA NICOLE SMITH
Quietly the UCLA newspaper notes, a few days after it hit the Associated Press, the Harvey/Bystritsky story. Campus newspapers aren't set up to cover big breaking stories (do you follow Penn State events in the Daily Collegian?), so as this one develops (and it will develop), the Daily Bruin will be worth checking mainly for local comments and letters about a lawsuit against a UCLA professor and the UC Board of Regents that has the potential to be a very big story. Not, say, Anna Nicole Smith big, but big.

Social Media Increases Student Engagement
Social media increases student engagement. How do I know this? Well, let's try an analogy. Let's say that you are a carpenter in the early 1900s. You have a certain toolkit that you use to go about your work. You build houses with said toolkit. Now, let's hop in a DeLorean to 2012. Carpentry is a totally different gig.
