It's the Little Things that Count
Story by Jim Pittman, 2014 (First prize winner in our O.Henry Hotel 15th Anniversary Story Contest; category "It's the Little Things the Count")

Jim and Dell Pittman with their children

I enjoy receiving the Quaintance-Weaver newsletter, and saw the 15th Anniversary information in the Fall 2013 issue. I've kept it on my desk all this time, because of the 15th Anniversary Story information.

Definitely wanted to enter a story from our visit in 2011, but found it hard to pick a single category, as elements of all five categories were satisfied with our 27th Wedding Anniversary visit August 12-14, 2011, but more especially Romance, and It’s the Little Things that Count categories.

My email to the O.Henry reservation desk on Tuesday, July 26, 2011:

My wife and I will be celebrating our 27th Wedding Anniversary August 11.
On our 25th we stayed at the Pinehurst Resort and enjoyed the spa there very much. On our 20th we took our very first and only cruise. Most years we stay at home with our kids or take them somewhere with us. I have seen your ad in Our State and other publications, but have never really considered staying in Greensboro for a personal trip.  We are normally passing through Greensboro on our way somewhere else. I've looked at Pinehurst again, The Umstead, Ballantyne, and others, but haven't felt like they were where we really needed to go this year, if we get to go anywhere. Then I thought about the O. Henry.  And took a look at your website and looked at your rooms and package specials. Great website. Very informative. Good reviews on Tripadvisor. Your website is much better than The Umstead's website, by the way. The O.Henry really seems perfect, you see, especially since my wife's name is Dell, and my name is Jim....We've been asked many times during our marriage if we were O. Henry fans before we got married, or if we had read "The Gift of the Magi". Of course we had and have since we got married, but we didn't even think about it when we met. But believe me, we felt like that couple in the story in our early years of sacrifice and want. Due to our heavy work schedules it’s rare for us to get any time to go off just the two of us. We average about once every three-four years, if then. On your website I tried to put together a package, or click on a package, but it said to call or email... so here it is. Feel free to email or call my cell and we can see what we can come up with or what package would be best.  Right now I am looking at Friday August 12-Sunday August 14, or the weekend before might work.

Jim Pittman

Peyton Eggers contacted me promptly the next day by email with her suggestions for suites and packages for our Anniversary weekend and more information.  Over the next few weeks by phone and email we worked out all the details for our fabulous weekend.

Peyton really went above and beyond for us, answering all my questions, and offering a very attractive package, with us staying in the Magi suite at a special reduced rate, and including just the right dining vouchers, afternoon tea, breakfast in room, etc.  Also handwritten notes in the room, flowers, a copy of The Gift of the Magi, etc. We really had a wonderful weekend due to Peyton's efforts to make all the arrangements perfect, and took a lot of pressure off of me in planning this rare get away for my wife, Dell, and I. The bellmen, doormen, waitresses...just everyone were so nice and accommodating to us during our stay. Once we got our kids taken care of in preparation for our rare weekend away, I purposely did not tell my wife where we were going. I only told her what clothing to bring. But I did not divulge any of the details to her until we arrived at the O.Henry. She was a little angry at me leading up to the trip and during the drive to Greensboro. We arrived and she was quite surprised, as we had never seen the O. Henry before, and she was a little apprehensive, not knowing what to expect. The afternoon tea was the first event on our schedule after checking in and exploring the spacious two room Magi Suite, and the downstairs area. She loved it! We had never experienced anything like it. We took pictures with our phones when the tea and food came out...sending them to our family and friends. I even sent some pics to my golf buddies, and the manager of our country club in Fayetteville (Highland Country Club) for them to see. My guy friends were none too happy that I had "upped the ante" so to speak in regards to anniversary trips for our wives!

Friday evening we snacked in the room, still full from the tea, then went shopping at the area shopping centers, before retiring. Saturday, a very enjoyable breakfast buffet, then off for a jog in the area. Storms threatened, so we came in early and went back out shopping, getting soaked in the process. That afternoon we watched golf in the suite on the large TV in the living room area as we sipped cocktails.  She was determined to figure out how to get the fire place to work in the living room area. Sounds crazy in the middle of the summer!  But the wind howled outside and blew cold rain against the windows as rare cool weather miraculously made a fire not only possible, but very welcome in the middle of the summer in August in North Carolina. Dressing for dinner was so much easier with a bath and a half, and two rooms.  It was like getting ready for the prom or a dance or something when we were young. Peyton, of course, had taken care of the reservations for dinner at the Green Valley Grill. We went down early for cocktails before dinner, then had a wonderful dinner and dessert, with after dinner coffee.  The service was great. It was a very romantic, relaxing, rejuvenating, magical evening, full of adult conversation, without having to worry about kids or anything else.  Just the two of us. The next morning it was sleep late with breakfast in the room with a late check out, then very reluctantly, we packed to go home, vowing to get back to the O.Henry as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, life gets in the way sometimes. Because, you see, the 2011 trip for our 27th anniversary marked our fourth year after her first breast cancer occurrence, multiple surgeries, chemo and radiation treatments in 2007. Our weekend at the O.Henry was a celebration of life...of going through a very difficult time, and coming out to the other side, victorious. She was marking the years, trying to get to the first cancer free milestone, the five year mark.  And we were less than one year away!

Unfortunately, we didn't make it. One week short of the five year mark early in 2012 she discovered another lump in the other breast.  Like before it proved malignant, the same aggressive rare type of cancer as before in 2007. Furthermore, we discovered she also had the BRCA2 gene, putting her at greater risk of further breast and ovarian cancers in the future. More surgeries, to include double mastectomies, more aggressive chemo, hysterectomy, etc. were recommended and implemented. There was not much good news or fun in 2012 and 2013. 2012 and 2013 were a maelstrom of major complicated surgeries, months of chemo, double mastectomies, recovery and reconstruction surgeries.  Hours and days in hospitals and doctor offices. Tears, pain and worry. Adapting and coping.

Through it all she has had to endure and sacrifice so much, her hair least of all. Twice. But now we are on the other side. Different. Older.  Many scars and pain linger, both visible and invisible. But we're luckier than many. Her prognosis is good. Her outlook optimistic. Everything possible medically was done to reduce her chance of breast or ovarian cancer occurring again. Her overriding concern all along was, "how is this affecting my kids and husband".  Totally unselfish. Only concerned with how the kids were doing, and what she was putting them and me through. Her anger was not for herself, but that they had to go through this, that she was inconveniencing them and causing them anguish and worry. Her quiet strength and resolve...her dignity and grace were an inspiration to many others in our church and community.

She never wanted the attention her fight attracted. But we will forever be indebted to the help, prayers and comfort we received from them through it all. She has counseled many others likewise afflicted, offering advice, comfort and aid where she can. But being female, and a lovely one at that, dark thoughts would sometimes creep unwelcome, usually right before dawn when it was the darkest, either right before or right after one of her major surgeries.  More scars. More taken away. More pain. More recovery and adapting to yet another "new normal". And that line from The Gift of the Magi would manifest itself unbidden. Never spoken aloud.  But always there.  The doubt and anxiety. After Della had cut off her hair for the twenty-dollars to buy her Jim the watch chain, and she anxiously waited for him to come home. Afraid and concerned for his reaction to her new appearance. "Please God, make him think I am still pretty." Count me among the wise. And the very fortunate.

After almost 30 years together, and after all we have been through, especially the last two years, my Dell is more pretty and lovely than ever.  More precious to me than any hair comb or watch chain. More valued and precious than any Christmas present I have ever received or ever will receive. And more precious than any present the Magi could bring.  And her Jim loves her dearly A gift from above...every day.

Yahoo! Sports nails college football again

By Ron Published: August 17, 2011

Bring on the Pulitzer Prize for the fine work that Charles Robinson and Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports performed in their investigation of the University of Miami football program.

But before you jump all over the Hurricanes, remember Yahoo! has been bringing the hammer down on college sports for the past few years with outstanding investigative reporting. They also, unlike ESPN, have no ties to these colleges, so they are more free to do good journalism.

Poll: Thome in Hall or not?

By Ron Published: August 16, 2011

Jim Thome hit the 600th home run of his career last night with the Minnesota Twins. Thome hit 334 of those homers with the Indians. Do you think he is a Hall of Famer or has the steroids and small park era made 600 homers not a standard for the Hall of Fame anymore?

Product Description:

Personnel: Jill Scott (vocals); Ivan "Orthodox" Barias, Andre Harris, Omari Shabazz, Anthony Bell (various instruments); Jimmy White, Raphael Saadiq, Francesco Romano (guitar); Nicholas Payton (trumpet); James Poyser (piano, programming); Pete Kuzma (piano); Kelvin Wooten (keyboards, bass instrument, programming); Johnnie "Smurf" Smith (keyboards); Pino Palladino, Harold B. Robinson, Adam Blackstone (bass instrument); George "Spanky" McCurdy (drums, congas); Darrell Robinson (drums).
In Philadelphia singer/songwriter Jill Scott, the R&B world may have the ultimate independent woman. Scott bares her soul elegantly and passionately, her heightened sense of self-possession allowing her to skirt the pitfalls of pretension. She follows up her groundbreaking 2000 debut (and a mostly live album) with an equally robust 2004 offering, BEAUTIFULLY HUMAN.
Although Scott started out in public performance as a poet, her true skill lies somewhere between poetry and prose. She's a gifted storyteller who knows the value of every word and syllable, and she unfolds her tales effortlessly, spellbindingly, whether the topic is a family picnic, a lost love, or a night of passion. Scott is aware of her every vulnerability, unafraid to admit her flaws through her expertly crafted yet wholly organic songs. Her singing is tough and sweet, like a latter-day Billie Holiday, over lush music as unique as her lyrics, drawing on everything from torch jazz to 1970s Philly soul. On BEAUTIFULLY HUMAN, Scott builds on the promise of her first release with a mature, knowing record--an essential neo-soul album.

Latest Release

Black Bear on the Mountain

Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin - Bill Burke
Banjo and Vocals - Fred C

A Big Welcome From Bill Burke and Fred Coon!

Bill and Fred met twenty years ago at the Encanto Park Music Festival in Phoenix, Arizona. For many years prior to becoming acquainted, they had both played and loved old-time music. Throughout their lives they each shared their music with others. By themselves, separately and together, and with noted national musicians, they have performed at numerous live concerts, on radio programs, including NPR stations, and on television. Their passion for old-time music is contagious. Since the day they met, they haven't stopped playing or sharing their love of their music with audiences everywhere.

Bill is a master cabinet maker with a waiting list of discriminating buyers. His furniture has been exhibited in the United States and Great Britain and evidences the crafstmanship one would expect from the great cabinet makers of generations past. He is also a luthier and applies the same master craftsman skills with his instruments as he does with his exquisite cabinetry. His speciality instruments are mandolins, guitars and banjos. His work reflects his high standard for excellence and his instruments have a tone that is recognized by musicians across the country as balanced and pure.

Fred owns a company that helps people find jobs. He is the author of a best-selling book titled, Ready Aim Hired. He is a contributing author to a new book, Business Model You. He is working on two new books to be published in the fall of 2012. When he's not helping people find jobs, lecturing and conducting workshops on job search, he loves to play his banjo and tell personal and family stories that are, in turn, outrageously funny, poignant and gritty. His banjo style was learned from his father and his songs come from nearly 300 years of family tradition in America.

Bill and Fred have just released their first CD " Black Bear On The Mountain" which is ditributed by Sidestreet Distributing and is now available for purchase from Elderly Instruments. Their CD is a collection of tunes that they like and their audiences have enjoyed for years. They hope you like the tunes.

Why did it take so long to get a CD done? Well, first of all, they were busy appearing on the CD recordings of many other musicians and second, they were just content to play live concerts and muti-media venues, over the years. Second, their decision to accept an invitation to conduct old-time banjo workshops and to perform at the 27th Illawara Folk Festival in Bulli, NSW, Australia in January of 2012, inspired them to take the plunge and produce a CD which the festival organizers said would be helpful. They all but sold out. While at the festival, Bill and Fred conducted two old-timey banjo workshops and performed on stage three times. According to several Illawara Board members and others who had attended the festival for a number of years, Fred and Bill were the only act to be allowed to respond to a call from the audience for an encore. They were humbled and the audience were treated to Fred's version of a Doc Watson classic, My Home Is Across The Blue Ridge Mountains.

When a promoter from Sydney heard them perform, and witnessed the audience response, he invited them to perform at The Gaelic Club in Sydney, the following Friday night. They shared the stage that evening with Lindsay Haisley and his wife, Cheryl Dehut. Lindsay and Cheryl are wonderful performers and Lindsay is one of the best technical autoharp players in the U.S. Some folks were there that had driven over two hours to enjoy the evening.

The CD may be purchased either on this site or directly from Elderly Instruments.

Unity 8 Mir Compositor Demo Shows Slick Progress Afoot

Canonical’s Mir developers are always keen to show off their progress, and the latest video demo highlights just how polished the technology has become.

Yeah, the frame rate drops a bit and there’s some noticeable lag on interactions. But look at what’s actually on the screen of the Nexus 10: graphically intensive apps running as ‘Mir Surfaces’ concurrently while also maintaining full multitouch interactivity during the transition to and from the ‘application switcher’.

It’s a pretty neat display of the flexibility and GL power of the Unity 8 Mir compositor rendering Qml apps through Qt.

Now, one important point to note here is that the behaviour shown off won’t be enabled by default on production images. Unfocused applications will, as on most other mobile systems, be ‘suspended’ so as to preserve performance and extend battery life.

You can see the demo, narrated by Daniel d’Andrada, in the player below.

Impressed? Think it should be better by now? Whatever your thoughts, we wanna hear ’em!

SWOG 99-16: Randomized phase III trial of docetaxel (D)/estramustine (E) versus mitoxantrone (M)/prednisone (P) in men with androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPCA)

Reviewer: Neha Vapiwala, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: June 7, 2004

Presenter: D.P. Petrylak
Presenter's Affiliation: SWOG
Type of Session: Plenary

The present-day standard of care in the treatment of AIPCA patients consists of the combination of mitoxantrone and prednisone for palliation of disease-related symptoms. There is no remarkable survival benefit with the use of these agents, and thus the ultimate prognosis of this patient group has remained dismal. Given this large roadblock in the treatment of AIPCA, attempts to define effective chemotherapeutic regimens that might help overcome this block are of particular clinical interest. Preclinical data have demonstrated a trend towards improved median survival with the combination of docetaxel and estramustine (Petrylak et al. JCO 17(3), 1999). This large intergroup collaboration was initiated in order to further examine the efficacy of D+E compared to the standard regimen of M+P in a randomized, phase III setting.

Materials and Methods

  • 770 men with AIPCA were accrued between 10/1999 and 1/2003
  • Participating institutions included SWOG, CALGB, NCCTG, CTSU, NCI
  • Eligible patients had the following criteria: progressive disease despite surgical and/or medical castration; progressive disease following anti-androgen treatment withdrawal; adequate renal and hepatic function; SWOG performance status of 0-3; and prior treatment with no more than one non-taxane, non-estramustine, non-anthracycline chemotherapy agent.
  • Progressive disease was defined in one of 3 ways, and patients were stratified based on a+b versus c:
  •     a) bi-dimensionally measurable lesion growth
  •     b) evaluable but not measurable progression (ie: bone scan progression)
  •     c) rising serum PSA level with 2 consecutive rises (biochemical)
  • Patients were not allowed to have brain metastases, history of anticoagulation use, or surgery/bisphosphonates/radiation/chemotherapy within 30 days of enrolment
  • Patients were randomized to one of two arms:
  •     1) D+E: docetaxel 60 mg/m2 IV on day 2, every 21 days + estramustine 280 mg po tid days 1-5      (n=334)
  •     2) M+P: mitoxantrone 12 mg/m2 IV every 21 days + prednisone 5 mg po bid continuously (n=332)
  • Both arms were well-balanced for patient characteristics, with both arms having a median age of 70 years old and a ~20% rate of patients with biochemical progression only.
  • Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS)
  • Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and rate of >50% PSA decline
  • Final analysis was performed 2/2004, with all one-sided p values.
  • Of note:
  •     dose escalation of docetaxel to 70 mg/m2 was permitted if no toxicity was seen on 60 mg/m2.
  •     prophylactic anticoagulation was permitted on the D+E arm after 1/2001 secondary to higher rate of deep venous thrombotic events

  • The results reported here are all for arm 1 (D+E) versus arm 2 (M+P).
  • Median overall survival was 18 months vs. 16 months, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.80, p=0.01
  • PFS was 6 months vs. 3 months, HR = 0.73, p<0.0001
  • The ORR was 17% (n=103) vs. 11% (n=93), p=0.15
  • The rate of patients with >50% PSA decline was 50% vs. 27%, p<0.0001
  • Grade 3/4 toxicity was higher in the D+E arm for the following adverse effects: pain, neuropathy, infection, metabolic derangements, gastrointestinal complications, and cardiovascular/thromboembolic complications.
  • Despite this, there was NO increased rate of toxic deaths or withdrawal from therapy for excessive toxicity in the D+E arm.

Author's Conclusions

  • There was a 20% reduction in risk of death in the D+E arm compared to standard M+P.
  • There was a 27% improvement in PFS in the D+E arm compared to standard M+P.
  • There was an increased number of patients with PSA decline of >50% from baseline (50% vs. 27%).
  • There was a trend towards improved objective response rate in the D+E arm.
  • Although there was greater grade 3/4 toxicity, the rates of toxic deaths or study discontinuation did not differ.
  • D+E should now become the new reference regimen defining standard of care in the treatment of AIPCA.

Clinical/Scientific Implications

This year, two very pivotal studies have emerged regarding the optimal management of AIPCA patients. The study discussed here demonstrates the superiority of docetaxel and estramustine chemotherapy on survival and objective response as compared to the current standard of mitoxantrone and prednisone. The achievement of a survival benefit in this well-designed intergroup trial is revolutionary in terms of changing the paradigm of clinical AIPCA management. Firstly, this is the first large randomized study to detect a survival advantage in this group of patients that previously was "resigned" to receive palliative therapy with "soft", subjective endpoints. While the goal of alleviating patients' pain and obtaining subjective, symptomatic relief is certainly important, the results presented here encourage clinicians to reach for higher, more objective goals, namely improved survival.

Though modest (lengthened survival by ~2-2.5 months), the benefits with D+E are statistically significant and warrant further investigation in this area. Most of the higher grade 3/4 toxicity noted with this arm is attribued to the estramustine component of this doublet. The results of the European/Canadian TAX 327 trial, also presented at ASCO this year, show survival gains with the use of docetaxel monotherapy that are very comparable to those achieved here with docetaxel and estramustine. Given this fact, together with the higher rate of grade 3/4 toxicity seen because of the estramustine, some clinicians might make a valid argument for the omission of  estramustine altogether. Future studies are likely to incorporate this hypothesis of docetaxel being the truly active agent, and the estramustine being unnecessary. In additon, several trials are ongoing and have been presented at ASCO this year on the use of docetaxel in conjunction with other non-chemotherapeutic agents, such as celecoxib, imatinib, etc.

The results from this study are likely to have a considerable impact on the referral and practice patterns of urologists in the US. Whereas patients with AIPCA might have traditionally undergone multiple trials of hormonal therapy, with only about 25% of them eventually being referred for chemotherapy, the data shown may very well alter that practice in the future. The old perception of AIPCA as a non-chemotherapy problem may slowly be replaced with one of a chemosensitive disease.

Maria Stanton wins Dispatch’s $300 Big Event prize

Rikson Stanton, left, and Maria Stanton accept the prize for this year’s Big Event at the Oneida Daily Dispatch. With Rikson’s help, Stanton correctly guessed that there were 449 logos in the Dec. 26 edition. Nick Will - Oneida Daily Dispatch

ONEIDA >> Maria Stanton of Verona is the winner of this year’s $300 Big Event drawing.

She couldn’t have won without the help of her grandson Rikson Stanton, she said.

“He helped me count,” Stanton said. “If it wasn’t for him, I don’t think we would’ve gotten it right. He didn’t feel any pressure, I’m sure.”

Rikson said that all of the Big Event logos in the Dec. 26 edition of the paper stood out to him easily and counting them all wasn’t even a second guess.

“I’m going to split the winnings with my family who helped me with the puzzle and is always there,” Stanton said. “It’s nice that the Oneida Dispatch does something like this after the holidays. It’s a fun little game.”

Stanton said she gave $50 of the winnings to Rikson, who decided to donate to St. Patrick’s School.

This year, there were 368 total entries. Only a third correctly guessed that there where 449 logos.

Top Wedding Venue Perfect for an Outdoor Affair: Pelican Hill Resort

Posted by Azure on February 1st, 2011
Looking for a beyond gorgeous outdoor wedding venue in California?

Pelican Hill Resort, located in Newport Coast, California, was recently voted the best wedding venue by Celebrity Bridal Guide. And it's no question why... this California wedding venue is incredibly beautiful!

Ian Ziering, best known for his role as Steve Sanders in 90210, and Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce tied the knot at Pelican Hill. And when I came across this real wedding at Pelican Hill by Victor Sizemore Photography, I couldn't wait to feature it!

I love all the different design elements that this California couple incorporated into their gorgeous I Do's! There were sparkling chandeliers suspended from the flower-adorned wedding ceremony arbor, luxe textured table linens featuring 3D floral applique, modern ghost chairs, and a whimsical outdoor lounge setup for the couple's cocktail hour. Another reason this real wedding stands out? The wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and wedding reception were each hosted in a different location of the Pelican Hill Resort. And each location had a totally unique look and feel. The ceremony was like an enchanted garden, the cocktail hour had a whimsical, Alice in Wonderland vibe, and the wedding reception ballroom was regal, luxurious, romantic and enchanted.

I could go on and on about the drool-worthy-ness of this wedding, but the pictures speak louder than words. So check it out, and let us know what you think of the Pelican Hill Resort and this whimsical California wedding. Wedding Pros

Pharmacy student receives APhA scholarship

Victoria Pennington, a fourth-year pharmacy student from Groveport, Ohio, was awarded the Gloria Francke Scholarship as part of the 2013 American Pharmacists Association Foundation Student Scholarship Program.

The student scholarships are awarded to recognize exceptional demonstration of leadership skills and academics through active involvement in the APhA Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP). The recipients will be recognized on March 3 at the APhA Foundation Contributor’s Breakfast and at the APhA Foundation Student Scholarship reunion during the 2013 APhA annual meeting and exposition in Los Angeles.

Currently serving as president of the ONU chapter of the APhA-ASP, Pennington has held the position of legislative chair of APhA-ASP and was a student member of the Ohio Pharmacists Association Board of Trustees in 2011-12. During 2012-13, she served as president-elect and headed up several initiatives, such as fundraising for APhA’s national PAC (Political Action Committee), raising awareness for American Pharmacists Month last October, and promoting the Medication Adherence Challenge.

The scholarships recognize those students who invested their time through active involvement in their school’s APhA-ASP chapter. These exceptional students help shape the future of the pharmacy profession while managing the demands of a full-time curriculum.

The APhA Foundation is affiliated with the American Pharmacists Association, the national professional society of pharmacists in the U.S. The APhA Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., is a national leader in designing programs to help patients with chronic health care conditions by optimizing medication use through coordination with pharmacists, the medication experts. The APhA Foundation’s mission is to improve people’s health through pharmacists’ patient care services. For more information, please visit the APhA Foundation website

Corrupt Capitalism -- the Denial of Equality of Opportunity

Those who have been successful in society anywhere in the world either in business, the professions, academia or political achievements fall into two categories: either they consider themselves fortunate, or attribute their achievements solely to their hard work and relentless drive.

If they belong to the first they will show compassion and concern, and endeavour to be fair in their dealings with those of modest achievement.   Those who belong to the second tend to be dismissive of the economic plight of the poor and vulnerable, and put the entire blame at their door.

Let us put the morality of these two positions aside and look at the evidence to see which view is supported by the facts. How good is Britain in providing equal opportunities to its citizens?   An OECD study examines this issue through a measure termed "intergenerational social mobility" defined as:

  "[Intergenerational social] mobility reflects the extent to which individuals move up (or down) the social ladder compared with their parents. A society can be deemed more or less mobile depending on whether the link between parents' and children's social status as adults is looser or tighter. In a relatively immobile society an individual's wage, education or occupation tends to be strongly related to those of his/her parents."

Where does Britain come under the above definition?   The report compares twelve developed OECD countries. Britain comes out as the most socially immobile country, followed closely by Italy and USA.   Denmark has the best intergenerational social mobility, and the two countries closest to Denmark are Australia and Norway.

The figures show that a child growing up in a poor family in Denmark has three times the chance of doing better than his/her parents than a child growing up in Britain, USA or Italy.

A child does not choose his/her parents; a fair society is one that gives him/her the opportunity to have a life economically more rewarding than the parents; it is also a waste of the latent talent in society. A country competing in the world to bring prosperity to its people cannot afford not to fully utilize their talents.

Of course, exceptional people with a bit of luck may break through barriers, achieving greatly in spite of the weight of disadvantage and deprivation on their shoulders, but such people are the exception.

- Advertisement -

The report identifies education as the means through which those of poor background can break through the disadvantage barrier. However, policies enacted by this government are making this harder.

Alan Milburn, the government's social mobility tsar, condemned the abolition of the education maintenance allowance that was designed to help poor students access further education.   The hike in university fees is already disproportionately putting off many poor talented students from going to university.   The policies of austerity and cuts that are predominantly impacting the poor and vulnerable are accelerating income and wealth inequalities in our society.

The dire position of Britain with regard to social mobility is being worsened with time, deepening and entrenching divisions, and diminishing equality of opportunity for all. For Britain to succeed economically our politicians should be striving to improve our position and not make it worse. What we have is not capitalism, but a parasitical incarnation of it. It is bad for the economy and bad for society.

If you want to know what privilege is, you need look no further than the influence of top private schools in Britain.   The statistics given in the report by the all-party parliamentary group on social mobility say it all:

" 24% of vice-chancellors, 32% of MPs, 51% of top medics, 54% of FTSE-100 chief execs., 54% of top journalists, [and] 70% of High Court judges went to private school. Though only 7% of the population do."

- Advertisement -

Mr. Cameron said: "I am not here to defend privilege; I am here to spread it". This is akin to saying - I want everyone to win the lottery - and just as meaningless.

Action may only follow if those privileged realize their good fortune to be born with "a silver spoon in their mouth". Only then do they feel the need to address the inequalities in opportunity embedded in our society. Can it be done? If Denmark, Australia and Norway can do it, why can't we!

SITUATION REPORT: Renegades Invade Bluecloudabad

SITREP (Scenario For Army Birthday Combat Experience 2010)

July 22, 2010 0330 hours
Bluecloudabad, Rene'stan

The war torn city of Bluecloudabad in the country of Rene’stan has recently been ravaged by a series of devastating earthquakes. Natural disaster along with a decade of constant war has left the city in ruins. Many of the city’s historic sites are now merely facades of the former majestic buildings that formed the economic center of Rene’stan. The people of Bluecloudabad have likewise suffered severely, and have requested help from US aid organizations. Due to the instability of the region, all the major aid groups have refused to go to the beleaguered city. Despite the danger, The Angels Of Mercy, an international team of relief workers, have sent a team to Bluecloudabad.

However, the infamous Warlord Dobroff and his Renegade Forces has seized this opportunity, and exploited the weakened state of Bluecloudabad. Renegade Forces, led by Dobroff himself have invaded and occupied the city of Bluecloudabad. The Warlord has taken all members of the Angels Of Mercy hostage. Dobroff is demanding the release of political prisoners from US Federal Prison and ransom money in exchange for the hostages. The Warlord has threatened to execute all hostages if demands are not met by midnight August 1, 2010.

The United States Joint Simulated Special Operations Command has deployed Task Force Blue Cloud to the region, led by veteran Operation Lion Claws Commanding Officer Helmut Fritz. Task Force Blue Cloud, prepares for a daring hostage rescue operation, on the scorching, dirty, unforgiving streets of Bluecloudabad.
Remain Tactical!

Thanks to the open standards nature of Oregan's browsing and media streaming technologies, the integration of Onyx with LOVEFiLM simplifies the service delivery and uptake across further internet-connected devices. Through utilisation of advanced internet standards, it will also enhance the user experience, interactivity and personalization of LOVEFiLM's streaming service on living room devices.

The LOVEFiLM WatchNow application for Onyx media browser powered devices is available both as a pre installed app for newly manufactured TVs and STBs, as well as a remote upgrade to existing devices in consumers' homes.

LOVEFiLM already offers thousands of movies and TV episodes to watch online via the LOVEFiLM Player and on internet-connected devices including SONY and SAMSUNG televisions and more recently the PlayStation®.

Milya Timergaleyeva, Oregan Networks VP of Market Strategy, comments:

"LOVEFiLM is a long-anticipated addition to our Onyx media browser offering, and we look forward to working alongside LOVEFiLM to grow an already successful service by providing an app that will further open up consumer choices and variety of entertainment."

In July 2010 LOVEFiLM named US-based Widevine as their preferred provider of digital rights management (DRM) to extend its digital content - the technologies adaptive streaming and virtual-DVD like trick play technologies ensured videos remained both secure and at the best possible quality, providing viewers with the ultimate home entertainment experience.

NCAA Tournament 2014: Do you think the Oregon Ducks will advance to the Round of 32? (poll)

The Oregon Ducks men's basketball team will begin its NCAA Tournament journey at 12:10 p.m. PDT today against the No. 10-seeded Brigham Young Cougars in Milwaukee.
Fans can watch the game on truTV, part of the CBS network of channels.
In the meantime, do you think the Ducks can get past BYU?
The Cougars are missing their best player, point guard Kyle Collinsworth, after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the West Coast Conference championship game.
The teams met earlier in the season, and Oregon beat the Cougars in overtime 100-97 on Dec. 21, but Oregon head coach Dana Altman downplayed the importance, saying "both teams are different" at this stage of the season.
Answer our poll question and tell us if you think the Ducks will move on in the tournament, or come back from Milwaukee empty handed.

PGE crews making progress on power outages

Portland General Electric crews have restored power to about 1,800 customers blacked out Saturday night, but about 500 customers in the Oregon City and Gresham areas remain without power today.

"The good news is that as of 9 a.m., only about 500 customers were without power," said Ariana White, a PGE spokeswoman. "They're making good progress."

White said some additional crews were called out today to help mop up the damage.

Gusting winds and downed power lines knocked out power in pockets across PGE's service area Saturday East Multnomah County and Gresham were the hardest-hit areas.

Southeast Gordon Creek Road was temporarily closed between Southeast Hurlburt Road and the Clackamas County line for several hours while PGE crews cleared downed power lines.

PGE asks customers to call 1-800-544-1795 outside of Portland or 503-464-7777 in Portland to report a downed line or an outage.

Republicans fume as Oregon Legislature bogs down

Tim Knopp
Sen. Tim Knopp urged Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, to shut down the 2014 Oregon Legislative session. Knopp, a Bend Republican, said he didn't think anything good would come of the next few days. (Michael Lloyd/The Oregonian)
Christian Gaston | By Christian Gaston | The Oregonian
on March 05, 2014 at 11:46 AM, updated March 05, 2014 at 2:31 PM

The Oregon Legislature is lurching toward a brutalizing finish.

Lawmakers are still negotiating over a handful of controversial policy bills and budget adjustments have yet to be unveiled.

The slowdown is infuriating Republicans. Many GOP members oppose the bills that are still being haggled over. Plus, some hope to attend the annual Dorchester Conference in Seaside this weekend.

“There’s nothing good that’s going to happen in the next few days,” said Sen. Tim Knopp, R-Bend. “This session is -- I think, is about ready to become a disaster for the people of Oregon.”

Lawmakers must finish their work by March 9 under the constitution. They could extend the session, but Democrats would need to convince Republicans there was a need -- it would take a two-thirds vote. That means six Republicans in the House and 4 Republicans in the Senate would have to join with Democrats.

It’s unlikely that’s going to happen.

“Unfortunately we’ve turned this short session into a carnival,” said Sen. Alan Olsen, R-Canby, “We’ve passed major, major legislation with very little vetting.”

So what’s going to happen?

The plan as of Wednesday morning was for the House and Senate to meet in the morning to vote on the bills that have queued up in either chamber. Then, a key sub-committee of the Legislature’s budget committee will meet at 1 p.m. to consider more bills, possibly including a bond package that could include $200 million for Oregon Health & Science University.

The full Ways and Means Committee will meet at 5 p.m. to advance more legislation -- possibly the budget. Then both chambers will meet again at 7 p.m. to advance those bills through the process, and possibly even take votes.

If Democrats can get all that done, they could show Republicans it’s possible to pass their priorities by Sunday without suspending the Legislature’s rules, which slow down how bills move through the legislative process.

The reasoning goes that Republicans would rather grant a suspension of the rules and let the bills fly through both chambers by Friday than work through the weekend and miss the Dorchester Conference.

Whether that strategy will work is anyone’s guess.

-- Christian Gaston

What's happening this Thursday in Northeast Portland?

• About 100 people gathered Wednesday night to hear details of a proposal to temporarily turn the former Whitaker School site into a community farm. The project could be a model for the slow food movement and urban community farming.

• The woman killed crossing Northeast Glisan Street Tuesday has been identified.

• Two hundred people filled an outer Northeast church Wednesday night to remember the 19-year-old shot by a home owner in Vancouver during a break-in.

• I'll be working on the weekend entertainment guide this morning. If you have an event to include, please email me details:

• A 14-year-old boy reported missing has been found safe, according to Katu.

• One PacificCoast Bank plans to take a majority share in Albina Community Bank.

• Check out the latest video in the New in Northeast series: Meet Amy Close, a Sabin resident who turned a hobby for photography into a career. New business in your NE neighborhood I should feature next? Email me:

• Longtime bakery Helen Bernhard's  gets love from Tasty N Son's John Gorham in EaterPDX's Dining Confidential series.

• Willamette Week had an interesting story yesterday about the Oregon Public House scheduled to open soon in the Woodlawn Triangle. Apparently a church is behind the nonprofit brew pub and apparently the Portland Development Commission gave the church $56,000 to help launch the project.

• Portland Parks & Recreation Wednesday celebrated the completion of the E-205 parks initiative. The effort brought lots of improvements to parks in outer city areas.

• Tonight, singer/songwriter Liz Longley is performing at the Alberta Rose Theatre, at 8 p.m.

• Tonight is Last Thursday on Alberta Street and the Radio Room is hosting a silent auction, art show and fundraiser called "White Light Party." You're invited to wear your best winter white and come for Crater Lake vodka drink specials and a dose of vitamin D. There will be videos of Last Thursday, and a Last Thursday t-shirt design competition, too.

• PPS Superintendent Carole Smith is expected to reveal her recommendation tomorrow for balancing enrollment in the Jefferson High cluster. Parents at Woodlawn and Vernon, two schools that could be closed, are especially eager to hear Smith's plan.

• Finally: No school tomorrow for PPS students. It's a teacher work day.

French Embassy: Forces arrest Ivory Coast strongman Laurent Gbagbo

The French Embassy in Ivory Coast said strongman Laurent Gbagbo was captured Monday by forces of democratically elected leader Alassane Ouattara.

The move came after an attack by French forces earlier Monday. An embassy official confirmed the detention by phone to an Associated Press reporter in Paris, speaking on condition of anonymity because of government policy.

The United Nations certified results showing Gbagbo lost the November presidential election but Gbagbo, the incumbent, refused to acknowledge defeat. The dispute pushed the world’s largest cocoa producer to the brink of renewed civil war.

Late last month forces backing Ouattara began an offensive to oust him. U.N. and French forces joined the effort last week to force Gbagbo from his bunker in the presidential residence in Abidjan, Ivory Coast’s most important city.
