I have been thinking a lot lately about Eddie Slovik. He was a private in the US Army during World War II and had the unsavory distinction to be the only soldier of the Great Republic to be court-martialled and executed for desertion since the American Civil War.
Eddie Slovik was the kind of guy it was very easy to ignore, unless you were one of the householders in the Detroit, Michigan area; then, you needed to be alert, because he was probably burgling your house

The weakest link. PFC Bradley Manning, his court-martial, the biggest leak of classified information in US history. Was anyone paying attention?

Review: Worldprofit's Home Business Bootcamp with George Kosch Feb 10th, 2012
George Kosch started the training session with a basic review of fundamentals of Worldprofit's Earn at Home System. George's Training Rant (Oh boy, it's a doozie, brutally honest but necessary.) The Buy, Automate, Delegate Phenomena. After nearly twenty years in business, we see this happening over and over again among people new to building an online business. It's the trap that many newbies fall into, the trap of being a buyer. This is the person who is trying to buy their way to
Indiana governor Mitch Daniels February 1, 2012 signs first right-to-work law in over 10 years... the key is that it's for a crucial state in the 'rust belt'.

Author's program note. When I was a little whippersnapper 60 years ago and more, my young father used to take me on his knee, his only very occasionally used guitar in hand and sing me a song that I hadn't thought of in all these years. It's the kind of childhood memory that comes at you when you're least expecting, bittersweet, tugging at your heart. Now I just cannot get it out of my mind...
The song is the "Wabash Cannonball" originally written in 1882 as "The

Uncle Love. Thoughts on that much underutilized and insufficiently regarded person, your Uncle. Immediate action required.
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Author's program note. I am writing this article to launch an international movement in favor of uncles, good people, solid, loyal, lovable and (as in my case) quite good looking, too. But for all these substantial qualities we hold a place of insufficient importance... and after more than 20 years of being an uncle I am so irritated that I must now take stern remedial action. I know that all you uncles amongst my readers are already nodding your heads in full and sage

It's time to recognize those who have failed. It may be the very best way to get them to succeed. An audacious idea.

Author's program note. In 1962 one of the grandest American musicals hit the cinemas of the Great Republic. It was Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man"... and we got up and marched as we heard its effervescent score. No high fallutin' Eye-talian music you had to scratch your head about, understanding hardly a word.
No, this was Iowa music, Kansas music, music every last citizen of Tennessee and Oklahoma could understand, every last word. As for the star, insinuating

Spotlight on Mark Zuckerberg, hacker, Harvard drop-out, with a cute smile and a net worth already over 28 billion dollars. What's not to like?
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Author's program note. I doubt that the subject of today's article is familiar with the celebrated English novelist E.M. Forster, but he ought to be. Foster's famous aphorism "Only connect" is the basis for what is already one of the greatest fortunes in the history of the world. Only connect... and the world is your oyster, all the oysters and all the pearls within them, too.
For what is the secret to the vast Zuckerberg fortune but an understanding that people need
