Technical and Vocational Education and Training (ED/BLS/TVE)
The Section for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) leads UNESCO's programme on TVET and skills development for the world of work. In close cooperation with UNESCO colleagues and partner organizations across the world, the Section coordinates the implementation of UNESCO's Strategy for TVET (2010 to 2015). The Strategy contributes to 'attaining quality education for all and lifelong learning'. The Section does this by promoting long-term solutions to enhance TVET relevance to individual and labour market needs and to contribute to inclusive and sustainable development.
UNESCO's Strategy for TVET has three core areas:
- provision of upstream policy advice and related capacity development
- conceptual clarification of skills development and improvement of monitoring
- acting as a clearinghouse and informing the global TVET debate
Corresponding activities include a series of TVET policy reviews conducted in cooperation with governments and national stakeholders, the development of monitoring and evaluation systems including the identification of relevant TVET and labour market indicators. UNESCO also contribute to global debate through the coordination of the Interagency Group on TVET, the organisation of international events such as the Third International Congress on TVET and participation to key debates in the field including the place of skills for the world of work in the post-2015 international education and development agenda.

Some of the orchestral music is good, but there's a little too much of the standard "weird and eerie 50s scifi music" that Roddenberry was so dead-set against having on TOS.
Nothing intrinsically wrong with that. Roddenberry was trying to do something new and distinct from what had come before; Allen was just trying to do another of his adventure shows.
Besides, a lot of that "eerie '50s scifi music" was tracked from Bernard Herrmann's score to
The Day the Earth Stood Still
, and that's one of the great SF film scores of all time.

ClassicsOnline Home » BJORLING, Jussi: Bjorling Collection, Vol. 7: Swedish National Romantic Songs (1929-1953)
Considered by both critics and public as one of the greatest tenors of the 20th century, Jussi Björling left behind a vast recorded legacy. This seventh volume in the Jussi Björling Collection features popular Swedish patriotic and romantic songs spanning Björling's entire career. Tonerna (Music), generally presented as 'Visions' in Björling's recitals outside Sweden, was one of the most popular items in his repertoire, often used as an encore. Till havs (Towards the Sea), a cheerful evocation of the pleasures of sailing, was another great favourite on the recital programmes of the singer, whose devotion to boating and fishing in the Stockholm archipelago was well-known. Land, du välsignade (Thou Blessed Country) is the patriotic song most generally associated with Jussi Björling in Sweden today.
By David Denton 01-Oct-2008
Though Jussi Bjorling was among the greatest tenors of the 20th century, his reputation was largely built on an extensive discography made before his early death. For much of his career his operatic repertoire was restricted to ten roles, while outside of North America he made very few appearances in major opera houses. Though he was to spend every summer with his wife and children in his native Sweden, from 1945 he lived in the United States. As a way of showing his Scandinavian nationality, he often included the popular songs of Sweden in his many concert appearances, the present disc containing twenty-one tracks recorded over the period 1929 to 1953. He was 19, the year of his debut at the Royal Opera in Stockholm, when he made the first disc, and it shows a mature and well focused voice. Though the songs include those by major composers including Stenhammer, Peterson-Berger and Alfven, most were by amateur musicians who happened to find a melody that lingered in the memory. There are those that use the heroic stance so popular in Sweden, Althen's Land, du valsingnade (Thou Blessed Country), as a foil to the sentimental ballad Tonerna, one of Bjorling's favourites often used as an encore. Yet outside of those northern countries—a Danish song does get included—the music largely depends on Bjorling's artistry. All were recorded in Sweden, mostly with a functional accompaniment from Nils Grevillius and his orchestra. The restoration is highly successful, and without undue enhancement has unlocked the full range of a very powerful voice.
Jussi Björling: Collection, Vol. 7 Swedish National Romantic Songs (1929–1953)
Jussi Björling was born in February 1911 (on the 5th according to the midwife's register, though he celebrated his birthday on the 2nd in accordance with the church register). His birthplace was near the center of what is today the city of Borlänge in Sweden's province of Dalarna. Stora Tuna, often given as his birthplace, was the name of the parish where the family was then living and from which Borlänge had some years earlier been broken out as a separate municipality; today, Stora Tuna is part of Borlänge. Jussi's father David was also a tenor and singing teacher who taught his three oldest boys Olle, Jussi and Gösta to sing from their earliest childhood. He had them perform in public before Jussi was five and as the "Björling Quartet" they toured extensively in Sweden, and 1919–21 also in the USA. Jussi's mother Ester had already died in 1917, soon after giving birth to a fourth son. David died in August 1926; about a year later, the group (which also for some time included the fourth brother Karl) disbanded and Jussi entered the Stockholm Conservatory in 1928. Here, and at the Opera School, his teacher was the famous baritone John Forsell, also manager of the Royal Opera.
In 1930, at the age of nineteen, Jussi made his official début at the Royal Opera in Stockholm as Don Ottavio in Mozart's Don Giovanni and in the next few years he sang a wide repertoire of rôles there. His first major breakthrough came at a recital at Tivoli in Copenhagen in the summer of 1931. As an opera singer, he made his first solo tours outside Sweden in 1936 and 1937, still singing his rôles in Swedish. He then appeared in Czechoslovakia, Germany and Hungary but primarily at the Vienna Opera and was greeted everywhere with great acclaim. In the autumn of 1937 he gave his first London recital en route to the USA, where his schedule included three General Motors radio concerts from Carnegie Hall and opera performances in Chicago in Rigoletto and La bohème. Jussi Björling's successful Metropolitan début came in November 1938 as Rodolfo.
In 1939, Jussi Björling made his Covent Garden début in Il trovatore and in 1940 he opened the Metropolitan season for the first time in the new production of Un ballo in maschera where he appeared as King Gustaf III of Sweden. During the later war years, he mainly remained in his native country, however, his Italian opera debut took place in 1943 in Il trovatore in Florence.
In the autumn of 1945, Jussi Björling returned to the United States for an 8-month tour and during the rest of his life he sang extensively there, as an opera artist primarily with the Metropolitan, San Francisco and Chicago operas but still more in recital and concert, often appearing on radio and TV in programmes like Ford Sunday Evening Hour, Voice of Firestone and Standard Hour. Björling always returned to Sweden and spent the summers with his wife Anna-Lisa and their three children at Siarö in the Stockholm archipelago. He also sang often in opera and concert in Sweden and the other Nordic countries, where he enjoyed an enormous popularity. He appeared twice in Milan with the La Scala company (Rigoletto in 1946, Un ballo in maschera in 1951) but returned to Covent Garden only in 1960 (La bohème), though he was heard in recital many times in Britain in the 1950s. In 1954, he made an extensive concert tour to South Africa.
Jussi Björling's complete opera and operetta repertoire comprised 55 rôles, but most of them were, like Almaviva in Barbiere or Arnold in Guillaume Tell, abandoned on his road to world fame. In fact, his total opera repertoire after the war consisted of twelve rôles. He continued to sing ten operas which he had learned in Stockholm before 1937: Aida, Il trovatore, Un ballo in maschera, Rigoletto, La bohème, Tosca, Cavalleria rusticana & Pagliacci in the Italian repertoire and Gounod's Faust and Roméo et Juliette in the French. In later years, he added Puccini's Manon Lescaut and Verdi's Don Carlo, the latter in the famous production which in 1950 opened the Met's season and Rudolf Bing's era as general manager.
During his last years, Jussi Björling suffered from heart disease. His life was prematurely ended by a heart attack in his sleep at his beloved Siarö on the 9th of September 1960. It is now more evident than ever that the world had lost one of its most outstanding artists: for instance, in several recent polls in different countries he has been selected as the greatest tenor or even the greatest singer of the last century.
Fortunately, Jussi Björling left behind a vast recorded output through which we are able to experience his artistry. He began to record very early, even if one disregards six childhood recordings he and his brothers made in 1920 during their US tour. The first two songs on this CD are among his first recordings as a tenor, made in December 1929 at the age of 18. They show a remarkably mature voice, trained by his father and practised in performance since the age of five.
I drömmen du är mig nära (In My Dreams You Are Near Me, [1]) is not the only song here that expresses loneliness and desperate longing. It was composed by Emil Sjögren (1853–1918), known for a rich and accomplished production of songs and chamber music. Vita rosor (White Roses, [2]), a song where the singer muses over the similarity between his beloved and the roses in the grove, would, unlike the preceding one, disappear from Björling's repertoire in a few years. The composer August Körling (1842–1919) was organist, conductor and teacher in Ystad in southernmost Sweden.
Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (1867–1942) is represented by three songs on this CD. In Sweden, he was one of the most influential musical personalities of his time, often called only "P-B". He was a prolific composer of operas, symphonic music and songs, and a feared critic - much influenced by Wagner's philosophy. The animosity between him and John Forsell, Björling's teacher and first opera manager, was well-known. P-B often used folk tunes in his compositions, and his familiarity with them is evident in his "four songs in Swedish folk style", to which När jag för mig själv i mörka skogen går (When I Walk Alone in the Dark Forest, [3]) and Bland skogens höga furustammar (Among the High Fir-Trees in the Forest, [4]) belong. The lyrics had been anonymously published, signed "H", but there is now proof that they were written by Wendela Hebbe, who has been called Sweden's first woman journalist. In the first song, the singer describes all the beauty of nature that he would gladly go without if he got his beloved back; in the second, the beauty of the wintry forest where he hopes he and his sweetheart will live happily in their little cottage. Jussi Björling took up these songs very early and they, too, are among his earliest recordings - important for his career as being the reason for his first and breakthrough engagement at the Tivoli in Copenhagen in 1931. The glowing but tender evocation of the maiden in Jungfrun under lind (The Maiden under the Linden-Tree, [21]) was also often heard on Björling's recitals from early years, both in Sweden and abroad, but recorded only 23 years later.
Tonerna (Music, [5])—this translation conveys the meaning of the title, but the song was generally presented as "Visions" on Björling's recital programmes outside Sweden—was one of the most beloved items in his repertoire, often used as an encore. It is one of three on this CD that were sung by Jussi Björling in his early tours with his father and brothers; we know that he performed it at the age of 12. Tonerna was set to music by the physician Carl Sjöberg (1861–1900), today remembered in music history only for this inspired tune. The text expresses the feeling that a struggling mind and heart can find rest only in music. It was written by Erik Gustaf Geijer, famous as historian and poet, but actually also the composer of some songs which Björling used to perform early in his career.
Ack Värmeland, du sköna (Ah Värmland, Thou Fairest, [6]) evokes the beauty of the valleys and forests, the hills and waterfalls of this western Swedish province—where Björling's maternal grandmother also had her roots. The song was published with this text in 1822, but the famous tune, used in many arrangements, is much older and related to a Dutch melody. Björling had it in his repertoire in earlier years and brought it abroad, for instance for his London recital debut in 1937. Another beautiful folk tune, from the island of Gotland in the Baltic, is Allt under himmelens fäste (Beneath the Dome of the Sky, [7]); the text is a plaint about lost love.
Sommarnatt (Summer Night, [8]), hauntingly catching the atmosphere in "the subdued light of the midsummer nights", where the poet's thoughts go to his beloved, is easily associated with Sweden but actually the only song here by a non-Swedish composer. Mogens Schrader (1894–1934) (and his mother, who wrote the original text) were Danish. Jussi Björling did not have the song in his concert repertoire but recorded it twice and this second version, with its brilliant concluding note, is the best known (the earlier one is found on Naxos 8.110740). As composer, pianist and conductor, Wilhelm Stenhammar (1871–1927) had a very important role in Swedish music life around the turn of the century. Sverige (Sweden [9]) was composed in 1904–05 for chorus as part of the cantata Ett folk (A People), with lyrics by Verner von Heidenstam, Nobel Prize winner in 1916. Jussi Björling was familiar early with this elevated patriotic song, which many times concluded concerts with his father and brothers, and it was in Sweden often the last item on his own recitals, with the audience respectfully standing. Sverige was also sung by the chorus at his funeral in Stockholm in 1960.
Of all the patriotic songs that Jussi Björling performed with unsurpassed conviction and authority and that "Nordic" voice quality that heightened their appeal, Land, du välsignade (Thou Blessed Country [10]) came to be most closely associated with him. The text by Elisabet Björklund won the first prize in a competition for the best patriotic poem, and was soon set to music by Ragnar Althén (1883–1961), organist at Matteus (St. Matthew's) Church in Stockholm for almost 40 years. Jussi Björling sang the song as early as in 1929 and brought it with him on early tours abroad. In 1937, the same year as the recording was made, he performed it from a high mast at the Gröna Lund amusement park in Stockholm, making his sensational debut there as staged in the final scene of the movie Fram för framgång (Head for Success).
The actor—with more than 60 movies to his credit—, film director and composer Ragnar Widestedt (1887–1954) is represented by two songs on this CD. Sjung din hela längtan ut (Sing Out Your Whole Yearning, [11]) expresses youthful exuberance, while Nämner du Sverige (If You Mention Sweden, [13]) is a patriotic song wholly inspired by the Swedish landscape.
The Royal Swedish Bernadotte family has had many artistically gifted members. Prince Gustaf (1827–52), the "singer prince", was second son of King Oscar I and grandson of Carl XIV Johan, Napoleon's former marshal who became King of Sweden and Norway in 1818. The male quartet Sjungom studentens lyckliga dag (Let Us Sing about the Happy Days of Students, [12]), composed in 1851, soon became very popular and has been sung at innumerable graduation ceremonies. It is of special interest as the song with which 4-year-old Jussi began his career—he performed it in trio with his brothers on 12 December 1915 in an Örebro church, when David Björling presented his three sons to the public for the first time.
Hugo Alfvén (1872—1960), internationally best known for his "Midsummer Vigil" (Swedish Rhapsody No. 1), was in his later years closely connected with Jussi Björling's native province of Dalarna. Björling had several of his songs in his repertoire, of which Skogen sover (The Forest Asleep, [14]), where the poet sits on a June night beside his beloved who has just fallen asleep, was the earliest favourite. Morgon (Morning, [15]) is the best known of the Stockholm organist and composer Ejnar Eklöf's (1886–1954) many songs—another elevated evocation of the beauty of Swedish nature. These two songs, unlike the others here, were recorded in the US and with piano. Harry Ebert was accompanist on the tour in the spring of 1940, when this recording was made.
The prolific song composer Gustaf Nordqvist (1886–1949), active as organist and teacher in Stockholm, is like Peterson-Berger represented by three works on this CD. The two first of them, Bön i ofredstid (Prayer in Time of War, [16]) and Bisp Thomas' frihetssång (Bishop Thomas' Song of Freedom, [17]), both recorded in 1944, were in Björling's repertoire during WWII, when Sweden was armed to resist the threat of a German attack. He toured extensively in the country and the patriotic songs on this CD were much in demand. "Look down in grace from Heaven on our earth and grant it peace", prays the singer in the first song. The second is based on a well-known medieval poem by bishop Thomas Simonsson of Strängnäs, written in a time of conflict between Swedes and Danes: "Freedom is the finest thing that the wide world has to offer…O noble Swede, stand fast, improve upon our nation's past...". A 1939 composition competition celebrating the 500th anniversary of the poem yielded more than 900 settings! The third Nordqvist song, Till havs (Towards the Sea, [18]), a cheerful evocation of the pleasure of sailing, is probably today the one most generally associated with Jussi Björling in Sweden. There it was a great favourite on the recital programmes of the singer, whose devotion to boating and fishing in the Stockholm archipelago was well-known.
Sången till havet (Song to the Sea, [19]) is another song about sailing. The author of both music and lyrics, Jussi Björling's close friend Sven Salén (1890–1969), knew the subject well; he had taken a bronze medal in Olympic sailing and founded one of Sweden's largest shipping companies. He was also active as a promoter of the lighter Swedish song tradition, the "visa". His charming Visa kring slånblom och månskära (Song of Blackthorn and Crescent Moon, [20]) again paints the magic of the Swedish summer nights. These two songs were not in Björling's concert repertoire but he recorded them for the benefit of Stadsbudskåren (The Town-Messengers' Union), an exclusive Stockholm charity organization of which both composer and singer were members. They were issued in 1954 as Björling's last 78 rpm. records in the Scandinavian HMV X series, which had presented him to record listeners in 1930 with the two first songs on this CD.

Producer's Note
Our intention when restoring this recording was to recreate as much as possible of Jussi Björling's unique voice and his rich spectrum of overtones. We have been extremely economical with noise reduction in order to minimize the influence of such techniques upon the voice, instruments and overtones.
If you, the listener, wish to experience a nostalgic feeling of how the recording sounded when played on gramophones from the 1930s, we suggest that you turn down the treble on your amplifier. Try turning it down considerably—perhaps even to the minimum adjustment—until you find a setting that corresponds to your memory of how the voice used to sound. The intention is for the listener, to have the opportunity to hear Jussi Björling in accordance with his own preferences and tastes. As a listening reference, we have consulted members of the Jussi Björling Society.

And welcome to The Clorox Company Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2014 Earnings Release Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. At the conclusion of our prepared remarks, we will conduct a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, today's call is being recorded. I would now like to introduce your host for today's conference call Mr. Steve Austenfeld, Vice President of Investor Relations for The Clorox Company. Mr. Austenfeld, you may begin your conference. Steven Austenfeld, Vice President-Investor Relations Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining Clorox's third quarter conference call. On the call with me today are Don Knauss, Clorox's Chairman and CEO; and Steve Robb, our Chief Financial Officer. We're broadcasting this call over the Internet, and a replay of the call will be available for seven days at our website, thecloroxcompany.com. Let me remind you that on today's call, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including but not limited to free cash flow, EBIT margin, debt-to-EBITDA, and economic profit. Management believes that providing insights on these measures enables investors to better understand and analyze our ongoing results of operations. Reconciliation with the most directly comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP can be found in today's press release, this webcast's prepared remarks or supplemental information available in the Financial Results area of our website, as well as in our filings with the SEC. In particular, it may be helpful to refer to tables located at the end of today's earnings release. Please recognize that today's discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results or outcomes could differ materially from management's expectations and plans. Please review our most recent 10-K filing with the SEC and our other SEC filings for a description of important factors that could cause results or outcomes to differ materially from management's expectations and plans. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Turning to our prepared remarks, I'll cover today's highlights of our third quarter business performance by segment. Steve will then address our Q3 financial results, our updated financial outlook for fiscal 2014, and our preliminary financial outlook for fiscal 2015. Finally, Don will close with his perspective on the business followed by Q&A. In the third quarter, including the impact of negative foreign currencies, sales decreased 2%. The impact from foreign currencies was particularly acute in Argentina, as well as in Venezuela, where we moved to SICAD I, effectively resulting in a meaningful devaluation. On a currency-neutral basis, sales increased more than 1%, reflecting strong growth in our International and Household segments, partially offset by softness in Home Care, due to a distribution loss and ongoing intense competitive pressures in our wipes business, as well as generally sluggish categories across our U.S. retail business. Volume decreased 0.5% in the quarter. Our U.S. 13-week market share results show a decrease of 0.3 points versus the year-ago quarter, reflecting ongoing intense competitive activity. While we saw share gains in our Laundry, Burt's Bees and Food business and flat results in Glad, these were more than offset by decreases in our Home Care, Brita, Cat Litter and Kingsford businesses. At the same time, our categories grew 0.4 points in the third quarter, although it was a bit slower than the prior quarter's growth rate of 0.6 points, due to the impact of extreme weather across much of the nation, and category growth remains below our 2020 strategy assumption of at least 1% annual growth. Improving our category trends and market shares is our number one priority right now, which Don will further discuss in a few minutes. Now let me turn to our third quarter results by segment. Our Cleaning segment volume decreased 5% with sales down 4%, driven primarily by decreases in our Home Care business from disinfecting wipes. As we have discussed, our disinfecting wipes business continues to face an intensely competitive environment, more intense than we have seen in years. After we achieved a record share a year ago, competitors have become very aggressive in the marketplace, causing us to increase trade spending to even greater levels than we anticipated a few quarters ago. Volume in our disinfecting products was also impacted by a mild cold and flu season relative to last year. In addition, the disinfecting wipes category has recently seen significant distribution swings among large retailers. During the quarter, we lost wipes distribution with a club customer, while picking up distribution at two other key retailers. Clorox remains the clear category leader with market share near 50% in tracked channels. And with recently improving share trends, we're optimistic this encouraging trend will continue. We remain committed to supporting this business across our 3D demand building model, including increased consumer promotions, consumer communication across TV, radio and digital, highlighting the value of Clorox wipes versus competitors' products, high levels of quality merchandising, and recently launched new wipes products for glass, tub and shower cleaning. Our Laundry business experienced volume and sales decreases due to category softness impacting our Clorox 2 Laundry additives. However, we are pleased with share gains in the quarter for Clorox liquid bleach, which was lapping very high growth in the year ago period and has once again surpassed a 60% market share. Finally, volume and sales gains on our Professional Products business were driven by our healthcare and professional cleaning segments. Looking ahead for the Cleaning division, we continue to expect heightened competitive pressures, which we are responding to aggressively with increased investments to drive brand and category growth. In our Household segment, volume grew 5% and sales grew 4%. The segment's top-line results were largely driven by increased sales and shipments of Kingsford and Glad products. Our Charcoal business grew in comparison to a weak year ago quarter and was also driven by increased merchandising support to help kick off the grilling season. That said, Charcoal volume and sales fell short of expectations, as weather was similar to last year, quite poor in much of the country in the third quarter. Top-line growth on our Glad business was driven or due to increased shipments in advance of a price increase and increased merchandising at a number of key retailers.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Lords of Discipline is a 1983 American film based on the novel by Pat Conroy and directed by Franc Roddam. The film stars David Keith, Robert Prosky, Judge Reinhold, Bill Paxton, William Hope, Michael Biehn, and Olympic boxer Mark Breland. The college scenes were filmed primarily at Wellington College in England, as none of the American military academies would allow filming on their grounds because of the book's less-than-positive portrayal of life at a military academy.[citation needed]
The film was not filmed entirely in England. The restaurant scene with Bobby Bentley, Commerce's home, and the train track scene were filmed in Charleston, South Carolina over a period of two weeks.[citation needed]
The story[edit]
The year is 1964, and Carolina Military Institute is about to do something it's never done in its entire history—allow a black man to become a member of the Corps of Cadets. Will McLean, a senior private, has been assigned to watch over him to ensure that he makes it through the year. This assignment forces him to stand against the power of "the Ten," an alleged secret brotherhood within the Corps of Cadets sworn to uphold CMI's highest standards – by any and all means necessary.

Updated Spirit Visage just isn't the same as FoN and removing HoG was just criminal... if the intended replacement was the Sightstone, they failed miserably
Senior Member
I don't miss how easy it was to ignore mages with FoN, and I certainly don't miss HoG for its reward for playing passively while making it harder break passivity.
HoG made bursting someone down in a gank or committed fight harder while Philo Stone just makes trades and harass less meaningful. Mages are already in a weak spot with this health stacking meta, especially burst mages. We don't need FoN back.
War Wolf 6
I miss Ionic Spark and Warmogs.(it got nerfed again -.-)
As a minor side note on Burst Mages, DFG is a far more awkward item to build than it once was.
I don't miss HoG. It was too good on non-support classes who already had access to their own gold streams and didn't need the extra. Sightstone is very support-centric, since the "gold income" comes in the form of wards instead of damage or defenses, fills the same niche, andis far far better in terms of gold income in that regard than HoG ever was. If you miss HoG and played support S2, then please explain why HoG is better than Sightstone. If you miss HoG and played top or jungle S2, then please look in a nearby mirror, as you are the reason it went away.

Pinellas Park Fla--Firefighter develops Newborn Kit for "Safe Haven"
ST.PETERSBURG TIMES(South Pinellas)
Firefighter develops kits for newborns left at station
By JANEL STEPHENS
© St. Petersburg Times
published February 26, 2003
PINELLAS PARK -- Veteran firefighter Ken Vandermeir wants to make life a little easier for newborns left at fire stations under Florida's safe haven law.
He's developed a kit to comfort the infant during the transition from the fire station to the hospital. The Newborn Comfort Pac contains two receiving blankets, a bulb syringe, travel pack baby wipes, a changing pad, two diapers and a knit baby cap.
Vandermeir, 45, conceived the idea after a young man came to the fire station on 82nd Avenue N and left a baby boy in his arms.
"I remember it as if it happened last night," said Vandermeir, a 22-year veteran with the department and father of three.
It was Oct. 15, 2002. Vandermeir had just returned from a five-hour call. A young man in his early 20s tapped on the window. He asked whether the station was a safe place. Vandermeir said yes and the man handed the infant over to him.
"The baby was not crying and I remember his eyes were open and staring at me," Vandermeir said. He checked the baby's vital signs and wrapped him in a towel. After the incident, Vandermeir thought of items he wished he had when the baby was handed to him.
"The baby didn't cry, but what if he did? I didn't have a pacifier to give him," Vandermeir said. "The kit is made up of all the things I wished I had that night."
So Vandermeir, along with his wife, Lori, started their mail-order business, First Care Kits. The care packages are $42 each and are marketed to fire departments, ambulance services and other emergency services throughout the nation. The Vandermeirs said the kit paramedics when delivering babies.
The couple will donate four of the kits to the Pinellas Park Fire Department. One dollar from the sales will go to A Safe Haven For Newborns, a privately funded nonprofit organization whose mission is to save the lives of newborns in danger of abandonment through education and referrals.
"I applaud his efforts," said Pinellas Park fire Chief Ken Cramer. "I think the product that he's come up with is a product that will help. It's a handy kit that we can use when we know we're going to be handling this situation again."
Cramer also said the kits' inexpensive price tag falls below the threshold for many cities and will allow the Vandermeirs to avoid the bid process.
Cramer said this was the first baby left at a fire station in Pinellas County and possibly the 12th baby dropped off at a safe place under Florida's safe haven law, said Nick Silverio, creator of A Safe Haven For Newborns.
Under the law, a parent or relative can legally leave an unwanted baby up to three days old with personnel at a fire station, hospital or doctor's office with no questions asked. Once the child is taken to the hospital and receives medical treatment, it is placed for adoption.

NH residents optimistic about state economy
Sunday, August 3, 2014
DURHAM – Perceptions about New Hampshire's future business conditions remain high and the percentage of residents who believe they are better off than they were a year ago is at its highest level in seven years. While New Hampshire residents' continue to be pessimistic about nationwide business conditions, these figures continue to improve.
"New Hampshire residents' confidence about business performance in New Hampshire continues to increase and that's encouraging," said BIA President Jim Roche. "However, their level of confidence in business performance nationally is rising at a slower rate and their opinion about long-term prospects for the U.S. economy are still pessimistic. This should serve as a reminder that New Hampshire, while in a good position economically relative to other states and regions, could easily lose that edge if we don't continue to support business friendly policies and implement long-term strategies to ensure the state's continued economic growth."
However, New Hampshire residents remain pessimistic about the long-term prospects for the U.S economy. In the most recent Granite State Poll, 36% of New Hampshire residents believe that the U.S. economy will enjoy continuous good times over the next 5 years, 39% expect periods of widespread unemployment and depression, and 25% see a mix of good and bad conditions. This is the most optimistic residents have been about the U.S. economic outlook since October 2012.
New Hampshire adults continue to think it is a good time to buy major items for their home. More than half of New Hampshire residents (58%) think now is a good time to buy major household items, 26% think it is a bad time, and 16% think it depends on a person's finances. These numbers remain high and steady over the past six months. |

Last year I wrote about my resolution to be a more effective (or simply effective) pitcher in my rec league. While I was confident of my chance at success, I missed the mark for a variety of reasons (injury, time, laziness, a complete lack of physical talent, etc.)
As it turns out I'm not alone. A recent resolution study indicated that 52 percent of participants were optimistic they would reach their goals, yet only 12 percent actually achieved their goals.
According to the study, "An extra 22 percent of men achieved their resolution when they engaged in goal-setting, and women were almost 10 percent more likely to be successful when encouraged to persist in the face of setbacks."
So here's my (second) attempt at creating a lasting team sport resolution through goal-setting:
Now that I've put myself out there for public humiliation, I'd love to know what everybody else is gonna work on. Whether you're a coach or a player we've all got things to improve on--especially when you're sporting a 65mph fastball.
Good luck everybody!

Hmmmm...I just watched your receiver wrestled an opponent even after the whistle blew on Thursday. He then got into the face of a player, hitting his head like some mad man for no reason, which cost your team some yardage.
It seems the only reason Smitty gets away with his antics, it's not the first time I've seen him get out of hand, is because he's been on this team the longest. Does he even listen to the coaches? It doesn't seem like it. Putting all jokes aside. I was going to come on this site and ask that question before the incident in the locker on Thursday.
Everytime I catch a Panthers game, Smitty sometimes act like a man who forgets to take his meds..
Here is any FYI, no team has succeed with an out of control receiver. You can laugh and mock Cam all you want but, he's not your team's issue.
Who gives a damn about how my receiver acts on the field. Sure he has a bad rep but I dont give a fu(k. He goes out there and plays 150%. Is 89 the reason why Cam always sit on the bench with a towel over his head? Is 89 the reason why Cam goes into a Press Conference with crazy eyes? I dont think so. Cam is a grown man, and he has matured very very well. All he want is for Cam to be a leader on and off the field. This is the first time Smitty spoke of Cam and everyone's is going crazy, "oh this is 89, the same man who sucker punched Lucas". Kalil spoke of Cam's last year and no one said anything bc it was Kalil and not 89.
Im trying hard to see if I could ever remember anytime when 89 ever called Jake out and I cant. Other than showing his emotions on the field. WHy? bc Jake was a leader on and off the field. Looked through plays every time he was on the sideline. Cam? Havent seen once he went over and talk to a coach about something or trying looking over a play.
