New Supercar Lexus LFA

Lexus sent me this link to Jay Lenno's Garage.  The LFA sells for $375,000. But watch it go 156 mph around the track.  Maybe I can get Brooklyn College to give me a raise!

Gerald Celente Sees Major Crash Coming

Mike Marnell, publisher of the Lincoln Eagle in Kingston, NY, forwarded this  Alex Jones interview of Gerald Celente.  Gerald is Mike's friend and lives in Kingston, NY.  He references neighboring Rhinebeck during the talk. I don't agree with Celente on every point (I'm not a fan of Ralph Nader, for instance) but found this interview to be quite interesting.  Maybe Mike can take us out to Le Canard Enchaine.

My Pics from Interdisciplinary Studies Institute Conference

I had attended the Interdisciplinary Studies Institute conference in Pasadena in early August.  The conference is organized by Oskar Gruenwald and is an organization of Christian oriented philosophers.  I presented a paper on virtue ethics as applied to business.  Dr. Gruenwald suggested that I integrate the natural rights views of Henry B. Veatch in his book "Rational Man" and I have been doing him better by reviewing the ideas of Aquinas as described or elaborated by Robert P. George, Russell Hittinger and Leo Strauss as well as Veatch before submitting the article to Dr. Gruenwald's Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies.  About 25-30 people attended the conference but a significant number came for either the first or second day. It was a very exciting group that I found much more dynamic, alive and inspired than the business school conferences I have heretofore attended.  Kim Quy, a Vietnamese graduate student studying at the University of London took these pictures (except for the last one!).
