All the Numbers Add Up to New Pharmacy Building
By Amanda Duval
2007—The year the University of Georgia broke ground to begin building the Pharmacy South Building, located off Green Street in South Campus.
93,300—Total square feet of the new pharmacy building, double the size of the old pharmacy school.
45— Number of years since the pharmacy school faculty, staff and students have seen any renovation or technological advance this great.
2—Number of open research labs in the new pharmacy building. Each of the labs has at least 10 student work stations where students learn to make IVs, fill prescriptions and compound medications.
500—Number of pharmacy students currently enjoying and taking advantage of the new building and all of its new technology.
44,000,000—Total cost of the new pharmacy building, $5 million more than planned. The extra money spent was well worth it to many pharmacy students and faculty.
194—Amount of pharmacy students each of the two auditoriums in the new pharmacy building can seat. In the old building, most auditoriums would hold a maximum of 120 students.
1—Number of universities in Georgia that have pharmacy buildings this technologically advanced. UGA’s is the only pharmacy school building in Georgia that has its own pharmacy and its own lab where chemotherapy treatments can be made. It is the only LEDE certified green building on the UGA campus

Using Social Networks to Find the Best New Music
Using Social Networks to Find the Best New Music
by Christopher Benton
It is very easy to get music online. Legal or illegal, there are hundreds of means to download entire artist’s catalogs from the superobscure to the superstar. But with more decision comes indecision, and the question for the music fan becomes: what should I play?
Like the music industry itself, social networking has revolutionized the way in which consumers experience new music. Here’s some of the best social networks to discover your new favorite band.
MYSPACE MUSIC
In blogyears, Myspace Music is a dinosaur, but it is still one of the best sites for music lovers. Practically every artist has a Myspace page that allows fans to stream a couple songs, find out about tour dates, and even contact their favorite artists.
LAST FM
Like Pandora, but much more powerful, Last.fm allows users to build their own customizable radio station based on artist, song, or genre. Based on the characteristics of your radio station, the site will recommend other artists to you. Last.fm can even plug into your iTunes so you can play your library remotely. Access to iTunes also means that you can make friends with Last.fm profile and make recommendations to them, while Last.fm determines how “music compatible” you are based on similarities in taste. It’ll even tell you the last thing your friends have listened to.
RATE YOUR MUSIC
Rateyourmusic is a music critic’s social network, no credentials necessary. After you make a profile, you can rate millions of artist’s albums and even write your own review if you wish. This seemingly simple setup has many implications. From the rating system, RYM compiles lists, so you can easily search through the highest rated albums by year, artist, and genre, as constantly updated. The whole idea is very democratic and the best music gets pushed to the top. These are real music fans here, so anything in the yearly top 100 is always awesome and frequently on the fringes of mainstream. Users can also make their own lists, friend others, and recommend music to these friends.
DROWNED IN SOUND
Drowned in Sound is music criticism at its finest, or at least at it’s most Web 2.0. The British website posts reviews, features, and interviews like any other online reprint music publication but also contains a strong community component. For instance, users can post comments on any article or review, so listeners get in their own “two cents.” There is also a discussion board where readers can compose articles, look for band mates, sell equipments, host music forums, and debate the merits of staff-made articles.
HYPEMACHINE
Hypemachine is MP3 blog aggregator. Better than your RSS feed, Hypemachine is a constantly updating site that reposts streamable MP3s from all over the web. Hypemachine probably puts it best when they write: “To put it simply, the Hype Machine keeps track of what music bloggers write about. We handpick a set of kickass music blogs and then present what they discuss for easy analysis, consumption and discovery. This way, your odds of stumbling into awesome music or awesome blogs are high.”
BLIP.FM
Twitter meets Last.fm with Blip. The whole service hinges on the question: “What song do you want to Blip?” With millions of songs in its catalog, you can type any song you want (be it a MP3 or its accompanying music video) and then push it online. You can either play the song you Blip or play any song someone else Blips. The site is basically a series of user song recommendations.

A Quick Guide to Social Media
Ali Rosenberger
Twitter: Users start by creating a free account by completing a profile, including uploading a picture. Users can even link their account to a cell phone, which allows the user to receive and send messages to and from others no matter where they are. An update that is sent to friends is called a “tweet." These tweets are limited to 140 characters, and are on the same level as Facebook’s “status updates”.
Facebook: Another free social networking site that allows users to keep in touch with people they know, or make “friends” by searching the database. Users can upload photos, information about themselves, join groups with other members, and even download applications and games. Facebook has also recently added Facebook Chat, which is an instant messaging service accessed through the site.
LinkedIn: Also free to join, LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking site. Much like Facebook, LinkedIn allows users to keep in touch with old acquaintances, and also make useful business connections. Users create a profile based around their professional background with information like schools attended, previous employers, and current employment. It can then be used to find jobs, people, and business opportunities recommended by someone in one's contact network. Employers can also list jobs and search for potential candidates.
SpiffBox: Another free-to-join social networking site, SpiffBox is the newest social networking site that actually “pays you to be social.” SpiffBox combines many different features of social networking and photo sharing sites, like email, friending, chat, updates and photo sharing. SpiffBox uses a points system as incentive for communication between members. Users can even earn real money by responding to emails, chats, friend invites and sharing photos.
