Public Speaking: How to calm nerves?

Black Jack asked:

OK, its not really public speaking, just a presentation in front of my one of my classes. The problem is I’m usually extremely nervous about such things. Last time I had to present in front of the class I almost had a panic attack. Its not like me, usually Im cool and laid back. Any tips (Other than picturing people naked?)
