As discussed we'll be working with Prof. Pat Thomas' graduate health and medical reporting class. She's a little undersubscribed with just six (!) students, so we'll be double and triple teaming them.
They have created a class blog where they've identified different areas they'll be reporting on - along the left hand side are the six topic areas. Take a look at what they're talking about and see what interests you. By Monday morning, please email me your top three choices and then Prof. Thomas and I will work on pairing you guys up.
Also, remember we'll be meeting with her class at 9 a.m. on Wednesday in room 205 - note that's different from where I told you before.
Post questions here, comments there - start the discussion.

Student Discounts
Rusty Bailey asked in the comments yesterday if there were any software discounts for things like Adobe Photoshop CS3 and the answer is yes, big ones.
The university's eMSD program said they were going to offer Adobe discounts, the R&B reported that, then eMSD said the R&B was wrong. Yet ... they still have it listed on their FAQ page (What products are available?: University of Georgia students may purchase Adobe or Microsoft products.) ... so that's not really an option.
Regardless, Apple and Adobe both offer significant discounts on their software and hardware packages for students. The bookstore has the best prices I've seen, believe it or not. Perhaps the volume they're selling gets them a better deal, but I'd look there first. For Apple stuff, if you go to the Apple Store, look along the right hand side for education links and you'll find their discounted stuff. Again, check the bookstore first - I don't know why, but buying iWork and Final Cut Pro HD last year was cheaper on campus than online.
Some camera manufacturers have discounts, too, on gear. I get listings of those from time-to-time and post them in the lab.
(Sorry for the cross posting, but people need to know this stuff ...)

Thirdsies
On the bandwagon... I've got a photo blog thing too. Been keeping it up since April. I try to update a few times a week.
LindyShoots: http://lindyshoots.wordpress.com
It's not exclusively photos. As described, "LindyShoots: Photos, the business of photojournalism, and occasional musings on trying to hack it as a p.j. student in the South."
I have fun with it. I'm always trying to improve, so I whole-heartedly welcome any comments or critique on the photos or on content and functionality blog itself. No one likes a boring blog...
Thanks for looking :)
Cheers,
Lindy
