Part of this morning’s lecture in Ethics rotated around the teachings of Confucius, the 6th century BC scholar who wanted to bring China up from the brink of ruin. While we were discussing Confucius’ ideas on “the morally superior person” we came across the word “virtue” (and by discussing I mean that I was rambling on and asking questions that remained unanswered as the class tried to collectively will the clock to tick faster). However, I decided to go for broke and ask what I thought was a simple question: “What does Confucius mean by “virt...

You know from football injuries that concussion often can’t be prevented even with a helmet. The KTH Royal Research Institute in Stockholm claims that the blame for at least two-thirds of head injuries, whether football players, cyclists, skiers, or equestrians who hit their heads, do so at an angle. This is referred to as “rotational motion trauma,” similar to a Mike Tyson uppercut to the jaw. Extensive research begun in the 1990s has led to the Multi-directionaI lmpact Protection System or MI...

As I mentioned last week, my wife and I recently had a conversation about radio and television call letters. I realize that that might not sound like an interesting topic of discussion. Hopefully, I can change the mind of anyone who feels that way. For reasons too complicated to discuss here, my wife and I found ourselves watching television in western Kentucky. The western tip of that state tapers almost into a point; it is much narrower than eastern Kentucky. Go a few miles south and one is...
