I received this sleek personal trainer as an MBA graduation gift in May of this year. The GPS receiver will track you on your runs and tell you how fast, far, and hard you are training. The included software is easy to use and I've found the mapping features interesting and fun. This is one of those classic devices that I would probably have never purchased for myself, but now that I have it, I truly enjoy it.
From the Garmin Website: Designed for athletes of all levels, this running partner and personal trainer has one goal in mind - to better you. It continuously monitors your speed, distance, pace and calories burned so you can train smarter, more effectively. It tracks your every move with a super-sensitive GPS that even works on tree-covered trails and near tall buildings.

Exams are over and now I'm back in Kansas for the Holidays!
Exams went well and I'm please to have only 15 hours left for my MBA. Next semester will be interesting. I've applied for an independent study course to work on getting an article published. The subject that I've chosen for possible publication is based around information on mobile devices. Although this might change, the title in the application is; "Analysis of On Demand Information via Mobile Devices."
Purpose or Objective: There is substantial backing by cell phone and mobile computing manufacturers to include full QWERTY keyboards on mobile devices. Greater acceptance and usage of these devices will create a need for an easy way to access relevant information, on demand. This will be of significant importance in the near future. This independent study opportunity to produce an academic document that explores further the current trends in accessing information on mobile computing devices with specific focus on email enabled mobile devices.

One Book Villanova Program
This year we are starting a new project called “One Book Villanova,” a campus-wide effort to engage all members of the community (students, staff, faculty, alums) in reading and discussing a single contemporary book.
The book we have chosen for this year is The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. Many of you have read this book already; you know that it is an incredibly powerful book. Set both in Afghanistan and in California, the plot engages you from the first page. The book gives a powerful perspective on some of the most pressing national issues of our day. At the same time it raises important personal questions having to do with friendship, loyalty, prejudice, and intercultural communication. It is particularly relevant to the experience of our students, which is why it is a best seller in college bookstores across the nation.
The year’s events will begin with a gala celebration on Wednesday, September 28th. Every Villanova undergraduate will receive a free copy of the book, and many departments have already ordered copies for their staff.
Many campus events have also already been scheduled dealing with this book and some of the issues raised by it. In fact, the author himself will be addressing the campus on Tuesday, February 7th. Look for announcements here and elsewhere about these Kite Runner events.
I am excited to see the author when he comes to campus in February. I strongly suggest you pickup this book. It's gripping and haunting and something that had me deeply moved on a number of occasions. I can only hope that this program introduces me to numerous other books of equal calibar. The bar has been set very high...
