PAC 442 at UIS - Weeks 7 and 8

Hi everyone! This podcast is for my PAC 442 class at UIS - a summary of Week 7 and a look ahead to Week 8. [The orange title above is a direct link to the mp3 file.]

Something a little different this week - I'm currently in Ann Arbor, MI, for the homecoming weekend at the University of Michigan. So I had to do this podcast from our hotel room - recording directly into my iPod with my new iTalk microphone. And with free high-speed Internet here in the hotel room, I could upload the mp3 file that I recorded to my website. Technology never ceases to amaze me!
