Have not been in this situation, but I can imagine that time will help you heal. My heart goes out to you and your family. I am sure your partner is also still grieving as it is still relatively new, just make sure you communicate with one another.

Hi Dawn
I remember only too well those weeks and months that followed the loss of our baby. The shock that is still with you is so difficult to reconcile to life just carrying on. There is nothing I can say honey, except that yes it does get better with time, but you will need time - which is something that you haven't had yet. Your time will come when you feel as though you can live your life again - but we will never forget. You picked a beautiful name for your beautiful baby boy sweetie, and Im sure he knows how much you love him. All my love to you and your family Pipsx

hi there,
i too lost a baby at 18 weeks, i had a little girl and i called her Jamie. i'd like to reassure you that it does get easier with time, its a horrible thing to have to go through and i know exactly how you feel... how your feeling is totally normal, i cried and cried for weeks after i lost my little girl. dont hied your feelings, people will understand that you are upset and with damn good reason!
the things that helped me get through it were robably that we had a little card with 3 pictures and her feet and hand prints on it, do you have anything like this so that you can remember your little man by? also the funeral helped (its not a legal formality to have you baby berried when its classed as a miscarriage but to me it helped greatly being able to say a proper goodbye to our little girl) also gives me somewhere to go and talk to her when i really miss her... made a little garden around the grave stone for her on her birthday too. perhaps if none of this is possible you could plant a flower or soemthing to always remind you of your little boy.
did they say why you lost him? my little girls death was due to turners syndrome.
please dont try and go through the rest of this grief alone as i know all too well how hard that is! even when other people seem to have moved on they can still be there for you! please dont feel guilty about upsetting other people, its a horrible thing you have experienced!
im here if you need to talk!
take care

Dawn i know its hard and you never forget. But eventually the raw primal pain is replaced with a little ache that will always be there but it gets bareable. Talk or write a letter to your partner. He is grieving to and you need eachother now more than ever. I had eight miscarrages and a still born baby In ten years. And now i have a baby girl and i never thought it was real till she arrived but it is. Please post something if you need to talk.

Set in 1945, BANDSTAND tells the story of a mismatched swing band of military veterans who join together to compete in a national radio contest in New York City with a prize that will guarantee instant stardom to the winners. But with complicated relationships, the demands of the competition and the challenging after-effects of the War that each vet band member carries, going all the way for a win in the contest seems like a dream that may break them more than give them their big break. The score is strongly influenced by authentic 1940s swing music, much of which is played onstage by the characters who make up the band. The show races towards a ''live on air'' finale that has an emotionally charged and surprise twist ending that requires every ounce of talent, stamina and raw nerve that these musicians possess.
DONNY NOVITSKI (mid 20s) Polish/Italian American. He is handsome but in an unusual, melting pot way. He is a gifted musician, both as a pianist and vocalist. He has a confidence in his talent that can sometimes appear arrogant but he always has the goods to back it up. He also carries an energy of unrest, of frustration in knowing how much he has to offer musically without the recognition and rewards afforded others. This can sometimes result in speaking impulsively. However, there must be in him an inherent likeability that compensates for these flaws. And when he is at his piano in front of an audience, he is a true star. Donny also carries the enormous emotional burden of his war experiences. MUST ALSO PLAY PIANO. Strong high baritone with ''crooner'' colors in moments, low B flat (lightly) to strong high G (with optional high B flat)
JULIA TROY (mid 20s) She is very intelligent, probably bookish, with a nurturing sensibility. Julia wears glasses and at times can seem as if she isn't particularly concerned with being pretty but when she is in front of an audience, she does in fact care a great deal. She has put her life on hold to grieve and to be a companion to her mother. The Julia that has star quality, that can make herself look quite attractive, has been in hiding for a long time. She has incredible vulnerability that she hides very well. But in those moments she can retain her sly sense of humor. She can give herself over to her music in such an organic, unstudied and we should be reminded of Garland in Julia's mix of vulnerability and strength. She has an extraordinary singing voice (Warm alto, low F# to belt D, Legit to G.)
MRS. JUNE ADAMS (50s) Julia's mother. She is a woman who likely has let age and disillusionment get the best of her figure. She has a natural and easy comedic sense about her but it is tied very closely to the disappointments in her life. A realist by nature, with an atheistic bent. But she does try very hard to appear upbeat and winning when around others who aren't her close family. She is extremely proud of her daughter and thankful for her daughter's loyalty, but she is also very intuitive about Julia's needs and can be very pointed and wise when necessary. Low character alto, low A flat to middle G
JIMMY CAMPBELL (mid to late 20s) Jimmy is very handsome and can be cautious and very quick to suspect people of dealing unfairly with him and those he cares about. But he is extremely loyal once he comes to trust someone and feel they trust him. He is someone that appears to be an underdog in terms of his physicality but can be the strongest person in the room emotionally. Harbor's a secret attraction to Donny. He has a lawyer's mind, analytical and calculating. MUST ALSO PLAY THE SAXAPHONE.
DAVY ZLATIC (late 20s- early 30s) Davy is an archetypical Falstaff. He is big in body and spirit. He can be boisterous and at times vulgar in his humor. He drinks almost constantly and while his drinking lends a cheerful veneer to his personality, it covers a very dark center. He knows that he can use his humor and good-time bonhomie to keep him from falling into despair. And given his size and physical power, it should be apparent that if he were to become angered, he could do a lot of harm. MUST ALSO PLAY BASS.
NICK RADEL (late 20 to early 30s) Nick is a man who seems constantly irritated with the world and those that inhabit it. Whether this comes from his physical attributes or his experiences as a prisoner of war in Germany isn't entirely clear. Fortunately this constant irritation manifests itself in humorous if blistering verbal outbursts. Nick must have the sharpest, most cynical sense of humor and able to get a laugh by the slightest impatient roll of the eyes. And because his talent on the trumpet is so extraordinary, he can channel that fierceness and sharpness into his playing. MUST ALSO PLAY TRUMPET.
WAYNE WRIGHT (late 20s to early 30s) Wayne is a Marine with a capitol ''M''. He is disciplined and precise, often impatient and completely convinced that this is the result of his training and service. The opportunities for any number of odd habits that deal with cleanliness, discipline and order to appear are endless. He is a man that has an enormous capacity to bond, to be loyal and to love but he tries his best to disguise that. And because those expressions of bonding, care and brotherhood go unspoken, they are not evident in his text and must be something that we see and sense in his being. MUST ALSO PLAY TROMBONE.
JOHNNY SIMPSON (mid 20s to mid 30s) Johnny is a very simple man. He's not stupid or a comic idiot foil, but there might have been some knocks to the head in his accident which has left him with a rather bad back. He's an observer, and when needed a straightforward speaker of truth. He is very loyal and trustworthy, if sometimes slower on the uptake than the others. When playing with the band, however, this simplicity serves him and he can be single minded in his groove and the unshakable foundation to the swing. MUST ALSO PLAY DRUMS.
MALE ENSEMBLE: (20s-50s) Men of all ages and sizes to play Bartenders, Radio Announcers, Servicemen, etc. Should be strong singer/dancers. We are also looking for men who are strong singers who move well to play featured character roles. Should be comfortable with part singing and jazz voicing.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE: (20s-50s) Women of all ages and sizes to play Waitresses, Actresses, Clerks, etc. Should be strong singer/dancers. We are also looking for women who are strong singers who move well to play featured character roles. Should be comfortable with part singing and jazz voicing.

Powershell and SQL Server - Scrubbing the Event Logs
Last updated Mar 28, 2003.
There are several chores that a Database Administrator (DBA) has to do, and among them is to check the logs. Over the years I've developed several ways to do this, some of which work well, others that take more work and are more prone to error. I've found one that works very well, so in this tutorial I'll show you how I put the process I'm using now to work.
Before we get started on that process, let's look at how the logs function within the database system. SQL Server creates recordings of certain events and all errors for the engine, the SQL Server Agent, and in SQL Server 2005, Reporting Services. It also creates entries in the Windows Application Event Log for a smaller subset of events and most of the major errors. While you certainly should take a look at these logs when a problem arises, you should also review them when things are going well. In fact, I recommend that you review these logs every day for at least your production systems. It's one of the basic checks you should do.
The Windows Application Event Logs are controlled by settings in the operating system, starting with the first time to start the system (ever) until you clean them up. Many system administrators set a size limit for each Windows Event Log, and then set an option to cycle over the older events as the Log reaches that size. While that makes for easy administration, if the system encounters a lot of errors, you could have the log cycle out the errors you haven't had a chance to review yet. The better option is to review the Windows Event Logs (all types, not just the Application Log) daily and truncate them only after you've read through them and saved them off to another drive.
The SQL Server Logs are created each time the SQL Server service is started, for each Instance of SQL Server installed on the computer. It creates a "Current" log and cycles that 6 times, giving you a total of seven logs.
Sometimes when you're troubleshooting, seven logs aren't enough. You can actually change the number of logs that SQL Server will retain in SQL Server 2005 in SQL Server Management Studio by opening the Management object, and then right-clicking the SQL Server Logs node. Then select the Configure option, and then the Limit the number of error log files before they are recycled check box. Just type in the number of error logs you want in the Maximum number of error log files and press the OK button.
You can also edit the registry of the server before you start SQL Server and change the number of logs there. Just find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer Hive and edit the NumErrorLogs RegKey to the number you want. You can go as high as 99.
Checking the logs is pretty simple, really. Microsoft gives you tools within both SQL Server 2000 and 2005 to read the SQL Server Error Logs, in version 2005 you can include the Windows Event Logs (almost all of them, not just the Application Log) as well as the SQL Server Agent Logs in one view. I really like that feature, because it allows me to correlate things by time, items on the server as well as events that happen in SQL Server. Enterprise Manager also lets you look at the SQL Server Logs, but not the Windows Logs, although you could open those in Windows.
So with those great tools available in SQL Server, at least in the later versions, why not just use the tools that came with the product to review the logs?
Well, that certainly works well enough, and there's nothing wrong with that approach — I normally fire up the tools and check out the logs this way when I'm evaluating a new system. But while this works for a single system when I have lots of time, it doesn't scale very well on dozens or hundreds of servers with multiple instances. And there's a bigger need. Sometimes the server is down — the services won't start, and I'm the hot seat. I need something that works no matter what.
So whenever I'm faced with the problem of scale and cross-platform requirements, I turn to automation, and in particular, scripting. And one of the easiest scripting languages for a DBA to learn is PowerShell. I've talked about PowerShell before, and I've shown you how it can be used with SQL Server in lots of ways. Now we'll take PowerShell and apply it to the problem of reading SQL Server Error Logs and Windows Event Logs on multiple systems and when the SQL Server isn't started.
I won't cover the process for wrapping this script with error messages, or logging this process, or even how to iterate through multiple servers or logs. The reason is that I've covered those concepts elsewhere, and I want to focus on the parts you can use to do the actual work — the engine, so to speak. If you'll refer back to those introductory articles, you'll see where I've detailed those processes and then left a block called "Do Some Work," we'll focus on the items you would put there.
There are a few ways to handle this chore, depending on how you want to structure your day, or how many servers you have. The first method is immediate — you get to see the output when you run the file. When I have a few servers or I'm doing some investigation, this is the method I use. Another method is to bundle up the work and handle it in bulk. I use this method when I have a lot of servers or I review the logs at a set time. Still another method is to use reporting, which I use when I have a really large amount of servers or I want multiple people to see the results. We'll discuss each method and then you can craft your scripting to the choice you want.
Let's start with the immediate approach. If you have PowerShell installed, you can try this out on your own test system. First, let's go after the Windows Event Logs. For SQL Server, I'm interested in the Application type, but you can also use this command to read the Security and System logs as well.
Let's examine the whole line, which you can run on your own system, and then I'll break down the parts for you:
$WindowsLog = get-eventlog -logname application $WindowsLog | select-string -inputobject {$_.eventid, $_.source, $_.message} -pattern "failed"
If you've read the PowerShell series so far, you already know that the $WindowsLog string just creates a new variable — a placeholder. The equals sign next to it means "take everything to the right of this and assign it to the variable I just made." So far, so good. Next, we use the get-eventlog command to open the event logs and read them. We have one qualifier here, because the get-eventlog command wants to know which log you're after — in our case, the application log.
So now we have a variable called $WindowsLog that has the contents of the application log in it. You can see that by typing that variable all by itself and pressing ENTER. Try that now.
OK, so just moving the event log from one output to another isn't that great. But you can start to see the real power when you look at the next line of the script. We start with the same variable name again, $WindowsLog, but this time we send the output of that variable (the logs) to another command, using the "pipe" symbol: |
The command we use here is select-string, which finds and displays the strings we want to see. In this case, it's the word "failed", but we might also want to run that with the word "error" and others. Let's stick with "failed" for now. The select-string command has several parameters, but since we're sending an object (the log file variable), we need to tell it to use that to search across. We can do that using the parameter –inputobject. Following that, we use a "where clause" to encase what particular parts of the log file we want to see. We do that by surrounding the next bits with braces {}. Inside those braces we use a few wildcards, which are a dollar sign, and underline, and a period. Now comes the real trick: we specify the columns of the log file we would like to look for. In this case, we want to look in the "message" bit, but we also want to see the ID of the log entry that failed, as well as the "source" column, which has the actual message in it.
We're almost done — now all we have to do is tell select-string what we want to find. We do that with the –pattern parameter, followed by the string we want to search for enclosed in quotes.
That takes care of the Windows Event Logs — but how do we read the SQL Server logs, and what do we do if the SQL Server services are down?
No problem. The interesting thing about the SQL Server Error Logs (which actually contain more than errors in them) is that they are really just text files on the server. We can read them with anything that can read ASCII text. They are located (by default) in the instance of each server, and in the case of SQL Server 2005 they are normally stored at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\
If that directory isn't there, or you're using SQL Server 2000, just look for a file on your system called ERRORLOG. Open it with Notepad and make sure it's the SQL Server log file, and note the directory. All of the logs, including the SQL Server Agent logs, will be stored there.
Luckily, PowerShell can read text files without any trouble at all. In fact, we can skip the step of creating an object at all, and just use the select-string command directly against the log files. Let's look for the word "error" this time, once again with select-string:
select-string "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG" -pattern "error"
Easy Peasy. And of course, you can use those iteration techniques I showed you earlier to read through all of the logs, not just the current one. The SQL Server Error Log files have numbers after each one, with the ERRORLOG file and no number being the current one.
But what if you want to batch up the files and read them all later? That's simple too — we can just add the out-file command to send the results of whatever we do to the hard drive. It takes a file-name as a parameter. Let's do that with the previous statements. I'll send the results to my temp directory:
$WindowsLog = get-eventlog -logname application $WindowsLog | select-string -inputobject {$_.eventid, $_.source, $_.message} -pattern "failed" | out-file c:\temp\WindowsLog.txt select-string "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG" -pattern "error" | out-file c:\temp\SQLLog.txt
You can probably see already how you could make a report from this. I currently take these files and a little HTML magic, combining them all into one report. You could even use Reporting Services with these text files as a source to create error reports.
This should get you started. Depending on how you want to check your systems, you can use the commands I've described here to make a great exception-based reporting system for multiple servers.

"OUT OF GEORGIA" by Mumia Abu-Jamal
For several weeks now, Georgia has been the site of some of the largest prison protests in years. Prisoners throughout the state, using smuggled cell phones, have coordinated self-initiated lock-ins, where they refuse to leave their cells to work or recreate.
One would think that such an action would please prison officials, but when prisoners organize, even to <i>lock themselves</i> up, prison officials get worried, and they bring out the tools with which they are too accustomed: violence, beatings, retaliatory transfers and isolation cells.
On Dec. 9th, prisoners began their actions, seeking what sounds like pretty standard demands and reforms: access to educational opportunities, fair parole procedures, decent medical care, nutritional meals, pay for their labor and an end to cruel and unusual treatment by staff.
Thousands of men; Black, Latino, Whites, Muslims, Rastas, Christians, at Georgia's Augusta, Baldwin, Calhoun, Hancock, Hays, Macon, Rogers, Telfair, Valdosta and Ware state prisons joined in this nonviolent protest. No staff members nor prison property has been either threatened, damage or harmed.
Elaine Brown, former head of the Black Panther Party, has helped these men through the newly formed Concerned Coalition to Respect Prisoners' Rights, and has spoken out in their support, as have Georgia's NAACP, Nation of Islam and a host of other groups. Some Coalition members have visited Macon prison, near Atlanta, to get a first hand look at conditions.
Black Agenda Radio's Bruce Dixon and Glen Ford have carried the story, via the Internet, around the world, and the world is responding with support, by emailing and phoning prison officials and GA politicians to support these just and modest demands.
At last report, despite government repression, the strike is spreading by leaps and bounds –as it should!

Vicksburg officials said new work periods for firefighters and emergency medical employees could reduce the fire department's overtime by almost half.
The new pay period begins Oct. 1.
The Board of Aldermen voted 3-0 Tuesday to approve a 28-day work period for the firefighters and medics. The Vicksburg Post reported that it is the same work period used by Vicksburg police.
Firefighters, who work 24-hour shifts, are currently paid based on a 14-day work period and are eligible for overtime after working 96 hours.
Under a 28-day work period, firefighters are not eligible for overtime until they have worked 171 hours.

Alan's Clean Blue Kitchen
As part of the remodel, Alan took out the wall between the kitchen and the living room to open it up the living space. Wondering about the source of those colorful framed prints? They're actually vintage teaching aids from Uncommon Objects in Austin, Texas that Alan framed himself. "They were so beautiful," he said. "They're double sided which made me a little sad to have to lose a side!"

These General Terms and Conditions and any document expressly referred to in them constitutes the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. You acknowledge that in entering into the Contract you do not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these General Terms and Conditions or any document expressly referred to in them.

(3) The minimum order value shall not apply if you exclusively order online coupons.
(4) Online coupons can only be used once. Should the purchase amount be less than the value of the coupon redeemed, the purchaser will not be able to retain the coupon and use any "balance" for future purchases. The purchaser will not be entitled to any monetary refund for any balance on the coupon.
(5) We offer to enclose a greeting card, with a text specified by you, with the delivery of the products. The text must comply with all applicable laws and must not: (i) infringe the rights of any third party (including any copyright, database right or trade mark of any third party); (ii) contain any material which is defamatory of any person; (iii) contain any material which is insulting, offensive, obscene, threatening, abusive, harassing, hateful or inflammatory; and (iv) invade another's privacy, or cause annoyance, embarrassment or alarm.

Pitino follows through on promise to get tattoo
Louisville coach celebrates title with players
Louisville coach Rick Pitino has followed through on a promise he made to his players to get a tattoo.
The Louisville coach followed through Friday on his promise to get a tattoo if the Cardinals won the NCAA championship, adorning his left shoulder blade with the school's old-English 'L' emblem in red.
He got it done at Tattoo Salvation, a parlor east of campus, and the emblem is perpendicularly surrounded by the words '2013 NCAA champions, 35-5.'
Athletic department spokesman Kenny Klein tweeted pictures of a topless Pitino with the tattoo on his back and a close-up of the finished product. The NCAA championship trophy was nearby.
The 60-year-old Pitino revealed the design earlier in the week and his plans to get it done before the Kentucky Derby on May 4. He's part owner of Goldencents, considered a strong Derby contender.
Pitino told ESPN that he rated the pain of getting the tattoo as a "C" compared to the "A" of kidney stones.

While 18-year-old Victoria (Victoria Hamilton) struggles to escape the rule of her domineering mother (Penelope Wilton), King William IV dies and the teenager assumes the throne as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and empress of India. With the help of sympathetic advisers and her lady-in-waiting, Baroness Lehzen (Diana Rigg), Victoria asserts herself, relocating her mother's living quarters and dismissing her mother's overbearing supporter, Sir John Conroy (Patrick Malahide). She then reluctantly agrees to invite her first cousin, Albert (Jonathan Firth), prince-consort of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Germany, to the royal household as a possible match for her. Remembering him from childhood, she thinks him a bore. But when grown-up Albert arrives, Victoria falls madly in love with him. After they marry, Victoria must counter troublemaking political schemers on the one hand while attempting to assuage a disenchanted Albert on the other. The problem is that he has nothing to do. He is merely an ornament, albeit a cherished one. He cannot even command a servant to clean a fireplace. However, when the administration of the queen's friend and adviser Prime Minister Melbourne (Nigel Hawthorne) collapses, Albert becomes Victoria's partner in government as well as in marriage. In time, she realizes that her husband is really a co-ruler: "A king," she says, "in everything but name." Together, they reign over their empire -- and their brood of nine children. It is Albert's task to supervise the country's Great Exhibition of 1851 to promote British pride, commerce, and industry. But his untiring efforts to make the exhibit a success take their toll on him, and he falls ill. However, he tenaciously clings to life -- and Victoria -- and lives another decade before typhoid fever claims him in 1862, leaving behind a distraught Victoria and a monarchy he helped rescue. ~ Mike Cummings, Rovi

A charming Sausalito inn overlooking fabulous waterfront vistas.
Sausalito is perhaps one of the most romantic spots in America, and this inn takes full advantage of the city's waterfront setting. The property combines the deluxe amenities of a boutique hotel with the warmth and hospitality of a bed-and-breakfast. There are 63 rooms in all, and décor ranges from romantic Victorian in the main house to a mix of contemporary styles in the newer rooms and suites that cascade down the hillside. Regardless of which room you select, most feature four-poster beds, flat screen televisions, complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access and gorgeous views of Sausalito harbor or San Francisco Bay. The on-site Spa at Casa Madrona uses water therapies and sea products to rejuvenate and heal. For an immersion in nature, the beaches and hiking trails of Angel Island State Park are just a ferry ride away.

The second time I have skyped into the reading group. This session was less satisfying than the first one. Because both Berit and I skyped in we only did audio. Apparently, the group was bigger and people were further away from the laptop. It was hard to hear the conversation since people were speaking more to the group.
Also, it was only as new people spoke up that I began to get a since of who was in attendance. A couple of voices I didn't recognize. Since I couldn't see it was a very much a blind feeling.
Berit and I had our own backchannel chat going that started with our issues of not being able to hear and then progress into our own discussion. So having Berit to chat with made me less incline to stay engaged with the actually reading group.
I didn't have my headset and just my earbuds. It was interesting how having the mute button on the screen seem more of a barrier than the mute button on my headset. I think there is something to the red icon.
I was not inspired to engaged with the group for a number of reasons:
- conversation hard to follow due to lack of clarity of audio
- muting on the screen
- having another remote person with which to converse
It was quite educational of how removed I felt in this situation. The last reading group, I can video so I could see the room. I will work on some quick prototype of ambient presence for next reading group.

Berit Greinke 25/03/2011 15:55
does this work for you pollie?
pollieb 25/03/2011 15:56
I only skimmed the paper prior to the reading group and I have been up for the past 24 hours. So just doing audio is distancing.
25/03/2011 15:56
last week it was better when I could see the video of the people in the room.
25/03/2011 15:56
I was just making notes of the issues of having to feel disconnect.
Berit Greinke 25/03/2011 15:56
yes. have a go if you want, the quality is so bad here that i can't follow at all
25/03/2011 15:56
and re-connect
pollieb 25/03/2011 15:56
also being muted makes it feel more of a barrier to jump int
25/03/2011 15:57
no. I like just doing the audio . I am testing out the remote user experience.
25/03/2011 15:57
so do re-connect and see if you get a better connection.
25/03/2011 15:57
next time we will make sure you have video view.
25/03/2011 15:58

By Cheryl Rodewig, The BayonetFebruary 18, 2010
FORT BENNING, Ga. - "Don't buy what you don't need; pay your bills on time; save and invest - financial empowerment begins with you."
That was Col. (Ret.) Myles Caggins Jr.'s message during his keynote speech for the Black History Month Luncheon Feb. 11 at the Benning Conference Center. The theme for the luncheon was "The History of Black Economic Empowerment."
"No matter what the condition, individuals or groups who prepare well and have a desire to prosper can," said Caggins, who shared the story of April William Ellison, a slave-born Southerner who became a successful cotton gin manufacturer through his grit and determination.
Ellison studied carpentry, blacksmithing and machinery as an apprentice. He purchased his freedom in 1816 and later the freedom of his wife and daughter. The entrepreneur continued to profit, even with the start of the Civil War, by converting his South Carolina estate to crop production, matching the market's increased demand for food.
"Lessons form this historical example can empower you to wealth today," Caggins said. "Education matters. Good character matters. Diligence matters ... Individual ingenuity can produce prosperity in difficult times. The desire of April William Ellison empowered his will to persevere and overcome what could have been insurmountable odds."
Such "black economic giants" exist today and continue to pursue success despite challenges, said Caggins, assistant superintendent for Muscogee County School District's business affairs.
"Although our country and many of us individuals are facing economic hardship there is still hope," he said. "Regardless of today's hardships, we as a people collectively are far better off than 1864 and 1964."
Christine Dawson, a friend of Caggins who attended the luncheon, remembers the limited economic prospects available to African-Americans when she was growing up in the '60s. Since that time, America has made great strides toward equality, she said.
"Opportunities for African-Americans have improved greatly since the '60s. Doors have opened in education, housing ... all aspects of life," said Dawson, whose son serves as a lieutenant colonel in the Maryland Army National Guard. "We are a more inclusive society. Career options are broader. You can work toward employment in countless fields that were not open to you in the past. We, too, can live the American dream."
Dawson said she thought Caggins' financial advice was applicable to today's population, regardless of an individual's ethnic background.
"All I think anyone wants is a fair shot," she said.
"We're not 100 percent there - no situation is perfect - but you must take personal responsibility. I don't think you should use your personal circumstance as an excuse for not persevering toward your goals. Work hard; sacrifice; be of good character; treat people the way you want to be treated. Generally speaking, things have a way of working out if you do your part."

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Baton Rouge is the capital and second-largest city of Louisiana.
Baton Rouge is located in the southeast portion of the state along the Mississippi River. It owes its historical importance to its site upon Istrouma Bluff, the first bluff upriver from the Mississippi River Delta, which protects the city?s residents from flooding and other natural disasters. In addition to this natural barrier, the city has built a levee system stretching from the bluff southward to protect the riverfront and low-lying agricultural areas.
Baton Rouge is a major industrial and petrochemical center of the American South. The Port of Baton Rouge is the ninth largest in the United States in terms of tonnage shipped.
The Baton Rouge region is called the "Capital Area."

By JOHN MARKOFF
Published: July 28, 1999
The Clinton Administration has developed a plan for an extensive computer monitoring system, overseen by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to protect the nation's crucial data networks from intruders.
The plan, an outgrowth of the Administration's anti-terrorism program, has already raised concerns from civil liberties groups.
A draft prepared by officials at the National Security Council last month, which was provided to The New York Times by a civil liberties group, calls for a sophisticated software system to monitor activities on nonmilitary Government networks and a separate system to track networks used in crucial industries like banking, telecommunications and transportation.
The effort, whose details are still being debated within the Administration, is intended to alert law enforcement officials to attacks that might cripple Government operations or the nation's economy.
But because of the increasing power of the nation's computers and their emerging role as a backbone of the country's commerce, politics and culture, critics of the proposed system say it could become a building block for a surveillance infrastructure with great potential for misuse.
They also argue that such a network of monitoring programs could itself be open to security breaches, giving intruders or unauthorized users a vast window into Government and corporate computer systems.
Government officials said the changing nature of military threats in the information age had altered the nature of national security concerns and created a new sense of urgency to protect the nation's information infrastructure.
''Our concern about an organized cyberattack has escalated dramatically,'' Jeffrey Hunker, the National Security Council's director of information protection, who is overseeing the plan, said yesterday. ''We do know of a number of hostile foreign governments that are developing sophisticated and well-organized offensive cyber attack capabilities, and we have good reason to believe that terrorists may be developing similar capabilities.''
As part of the plan, networks of thousands of software monitoring programs would constantly track computer activities looking for indications of computer network intrusions and other illegal acts.
The plan calls for the creation of a Federal Intrusion Detection Network, or Fidnet, and specifies that the data it collects will be gathered at the National Infrastructure Protection Center, an interagency task force housed at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Such a system, to be put fully in place by 2003, is meant to permit Government security experts to track ''patterns of patterns'' of information and respond in a coordinated manner against intruders and terrorists.
The plan focuses on monitoring data flowing over Government and national computer networks. That means the systems would potentially have access to computer-to-computer communications like electronic mail and other documents, computer programs and remote log-ins.
But an increasing percentage of network traffic, like banking and financial information, is routinely encrypted and would not be visible to the monitor software. Government officials argue that they are not interested in eavesdropping, but rather are looking for patterns of behavior that suggest illegal activity.
Over the last three years, the Pentagon has begun to string together entire network surveillance systems using filters that report data to a central site, much as a burglar alarm might be reported at the local police station.
Officials said such a system might have protected against intrusions recently reported in computers at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which produces information like the consumer price index that can affect the performance of the stock market.
The draft of the plan, which has been circulated widely within the executive branch, has generated concern among some officials over its privacy implications. Several officials involved in the debate over the plan said that the situation was ''fluid'' and that many aspects were still not final.
The report is vague on several crucial points, including the kinds of data to be collected and the specific Federal and corporate computer networks to be monitored. The report also lacks details about the ways information collected in non-Governmental agencies would be maintained and under what conditions it would be made available to law enforcement personnel.
Government officials said that the National Security Council was conducting a legal and technical review of the plan to study whether it would violate existing privacy laws and to address concerns about Government eavesdropping on private electronic communications and that a final version is to be released in September, subject to President Clinton's approval.
The plan was created in response to a Presidential directive in May 1998 requiring the Executive Branch to review the vulnerabilities of the Federal Government's computer systems in order to become a ''model of information and security.''
In a cover letter to the draft Mr. Clinton writes: ''A concerted attack on the computers of any one of our key economic sectors or Governmental agencies could have catastrophic effects.''

Stephen Greenleaf Bulfinch Diary, Post 18
The following excerpt is from the diary of Stephen Greenleaf Bulfinch.
Saturday, Nov. 29th, 1862
The election in Massachusetts disappointed the party just named [the People's party], & maintained the high patriotic position of the state. On the other hand, an opposition ticket has prevailed in New York, Ohio, and other states where it had hardly been anticipated. Among the reasons that account for this are dissatisfaction at the slow progress of the war, and the absence of many in the army who would have voted the Republican ticket. The election was soon followed by the removal of Gen. McClellan, - on the ground of slowness and disobedience of orders, - and the appointment of Gen. Burnside in his place. The country and the army acquiesce in these changes. Burnside, of whom I have a very high opinion from what I hear, has advanced & is encamped before Fredericksburg, Va. The rebel army under Lee is opposite him, & a large rebel force, under 'Stonewall' Jackson, is or was in the valley of the Shenandoah. An expedition has been preparing, & is now embarking under Gen. Banks, from Long Island; - destination unknown, - rumor points to Texas or Georgia; but many, of whom I am one, hope that it will cooperate with Burnside in Virginia, and Foster in N.C. against Richmond & its defenders. I have two young parishioners, - the Weymouths -, in the 42d Mass. in this expedition.
