Don Resnick was born 1928 in New York City, and lived and worked from his home-studio on Long Island, New York. He passed away in 2008.
Don studied at Hobart College in Geneva, New York; at The School for Social Research in New York City; and the Internationale Akademie fur Bildende Kunst in Salzburg, Austria. He was a student of Oskar Kokoschka, Raphael Soyer, Seymour Lipton and Julian Levi.
Resnick is one of a handful of significant painters who continue to devote their talents to portraying the American landscape. Inevitably, his work has evolved and changed over time. His most recent works revealed an increasingly loose, even impulsive brushwork, and an almost watercolour-like lucidity. There is also a fresh concern with the marriage between sun, sea and land that takes place during the setting of the sun. The resulting luminosity appears as a creative current throughout his recent works, whether depicting closely tangled woods or vast open shorelines. Light is the unifying element, even in his few quiet nocturnes.
In his paintings Resnick reveals that selective vision, born of a long and observant familiarity with his themes, amounts to what may be described as a creative instinct. The role of the artist is to take his theme, no matter how ordinary, and allow us to see it anew. Resnick works magic to make the commonplace transform into the luminous. (excerpted from "Don Resnick: Toward the Light" by Paul Duval)

The area that now makes up Bangladesh is home to one of the oldest civilizations and most established cultures on the planet. Recently, however, Bangladesh has had some bad luck. After it's successful secession from Pakistan, Bangladesh became one of the poorest and most overpopulated countries in the world. Economic output has not been enough to support the civilization and global warming has caused weather patterns and the seasonal monsoons to become more extreme. Now, the government is disintegrating under accusations of rigging and corruption over the upcoming elections. Travel here before it's too late to see what Bangladesh once was.
What to do
Bangladesh has one of the world's oldest cultures. Dhaka City, the capital, has many ancient sites to see including the Mainimiti ruins, an ancient monument to Buddhist thought and culture, and an unfinished fort just outside the city limits of Dhaka that was started in the 17th century.
Getting there
The International airport code for Zia airport is DAC, but you'll need to get a visa to enter the country, no matter where you've got citizenship or are flying in from, in order to get in to Bangladesh. You may find that it's cheaper to get tickets to India, and then come on a short-hop flight to Bangladesh, but this isn't always best. Bus routes are open through India, although the border policies change from time to time.
Where to stay
Bangladesh has one of the poorest populations in the world, but a full range of lodging can be found, from ultra-cheap hotels to five star, name brand resorts. Hostel accommodation is easiest to come by in Dhaka.

Ocean Pollution
In addition to carbon dioxide, mercury, and marine debris, which are types of pollution, other man made pollutants constantly enter the oceans from a range of sources. These include oil, fertilizers, toxic chemicals, and sewage.
Oil spills may be the most infamous pollutant because popular media often vividly shows dramatic damage. The agonizing images of seabirds such as Pelicans covered in crude oil are hard to forget. Meanwhile, the extensive damage to marine environments from oil spills often lasts for decades.
The Safina Center's founding president, Carl Safina, chronicles the 2010 British Petroleum oil blowout in the Gulf of Mexico in his book, A Sea in Flames, and in various interviews and other writings. Check out a selection of links to this content below.
Though less dramatic but still damaging, a large portion of oil pollution comes from waste and runoff from towns and cities. Every drop of oil spilled has a chance of finding its way to the ocean.
Pesticides, solvents, paints, and industrial chemicals also frequently reach the ocean. Many of these hazardous materials harm sea life and some return to land through contaminated seafood that people eat, which can cause health problems.
Dead zones are the result of runoff into the sea from land-based activities, and they can harm crabs, shellfish, and other sea life…Read More
3 things you can do right now to prevent ocean pollution:
1. Make the shift to clean, renewable energy when and wherever possible.
2. Remember all drains eventually lead to the oceans. Be very careful what you pour down any drain.
3. Stay informed, know the issues.
Other great ways you can make a difference.

I was extremely pleased with the turnout and had some very good conversations with many of the attendees. Over the next few days I had many more meaningful conversations and was not only happy with the results but also learned a few new things. Here is everything I learned in those three days distilled into three short points.

Most of the IoT Gateway scenarios involve collecting data from machines/processing and pushing data upstream to cloud for further analytics. The gateway hardware varies from Raspberry Pi to Industrial PCs. The document states the process of allowing deploying polyglot data pipelining software with the clear notion of supporting immutability. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Shashank Jain, a development architect for SAP Labs, discussed the objective, which is to automate the IoT deployment process from development to production scenarios using Docker containers.

DevOps is about increasing efficiency, but nothing is more inefficient than building the same application twice. However, this is a routine occurrence with enterprise applications that need both a rich desktop web interface and strong mobile support. With recent technological advances from Isomorphic Software and others, rich desktop and tuned mobile experiences can now be created with a single codebase – without compromising functionality, performance or usability. In his session at DevOps Summit, Charles Kendrick, CTO and Chief Architect at Isomorphic Software, demonstrated examples of com...

With all the incredible momentum behind the Internet of Things (IoT) industry, it is easy to forget that not a single CEO wakes up and wonders if "my IoT is broken." What they wonder is if they are making the right decisions to do all they can to increase revenue, decrease costs, and improve customer experience – effectively the same challenges they have always had in growing their business. The exciting thing about the IoT industry is now these decisions can be better, faster, and smarter. Now all corporate assets – people, objects, and spaces – can share information about themselves and thei...

The cloud. Like a comic book superhero, there seems to be no problem it can't fix or cost it can't slash. Yet making the transition is not always easy and production environments are still largely on premise. Taking some practical and sensible steps to reduce risk can also help provide a basis for a successful cloud transition. A plethora of surveys from the likes of IDG and Gartner show that more than 70 percent of enterprises have deployed at least one or more cloud application or workload. Yet a closer inspection at the data reveals less than half of these cloud projects involve production...

Countless business models have spawned from the IaaS industry – resell Web hosting, blogs, public cloud, and on and on. With the overwhelming amount of tools available to us, it's sometimes easy to overlook that many of them are just new skins of resources we've had for a long time. In his general session at 17th Cloud Expo, Harold Hannon, Sr. Software Architect at SoftLayer, an IBM Company, broke down what we have to work with, discussed the benefits and pitfalls and how we can best use them to design hosted applications.

Microservices are a very exciting architectural approach that many organizations are looking to as a way to accelerate innovation. Microservices promise to allow teams to move away from monolithic "ball of mud" systems, but the reality is that, in the vast majority of organizations, different projects and technologies will continue to be developed at different speeds. How to handle the dependencies between these disparate systems with different iteration cycles? Consider the "canoncial problem" in this scenario: microservice A (releases daily) depends on a couple of additions to backend B (re...

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome" is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

Blackbox from Adam Sammons on Vimeo.
I know what you're thinking, there's not enough Wild West themed narrative sample based electronica concept albums that are as I just described but manage at the same time to not be cheesy in any way. Well the ever adventurous Mild Maynyrd, who hails from the other side of the pond so is very possibly a cattle rustling gunslinger himself (though I couldn't confirm either way as I value my life), has cooked up 'Hills Run Red' for Black Lantern Music to remedy this! Its a peach, its a trip, and it tells a ripping yarn too.

From PC-BSD Wiki
Your PC-BSD® system is secure by default. This section provides an overview of the built-in security features and additional resources should you like to learn more about increasing the security of your system beyond its current level.
The security features built into PC-BSD® include:
- Naturally immune to viruses and other malware: most viruses are written to exploit Windows systems and do not understand the binaries or paths found on a PC-BSD® system. Antivirus software is still available in the Security section of AppCafe® as this can be useful if you send or forward email attachments to users running other operating systems.
- Potential for serious damage is limited: file and directory ownership and permissions along with separate user and group functions mean that as an ordinary user any program executed will only be granted the abilities and access of that user. A user that is not a member of the wheel group can not switch to administrative access and cannot enter or list the contents of a directory that has not been set for universal access.
- Built-in firewall: the default firewall ruleset allows you to access the Internet and the shares available on your network. If there are no shared resources on your network, you can use Firewall Manager/9.2 to further tighten the default ruleset. In addition, Fail2ban[1] is installed. This service can be configured to identify possible break-in attempts and to respond with an action such as creating a firewall rule to ban the intruder. Instructions for configuring fail2ban can be found on the fail2ban wiki[2].
- Built-in Host-based Intrusion Detection System: PC-BSD® installs OSSEC[3] which can be configured to perform log analysis, file integrity checking, policy monitoring, rootkit detection, real-time alerting, and active response. If you have never used OSSEC before, take some time to read through its manual[4] to determine which features interest you and how to configure them.
- Very few services are enabled by default: you can easily view which services are started at boot time using Service Manager or by reading through /etc/rc.conf. You can also disable the services that you do not use by disabling that service in Service Manager or by commenting out that line with a # in /etc/rc.conf.
- SSH is disabled by default: and can only be enabled by the superuser. This setting prevents bots and other users from trying to access your system. If you do need to use SSH, change the "NO" to a "YES" in the line sshd_enable= in the file /etc/rc.conf. You can start the service right away by typing /etc/rc.d/sshd start. You will need to add a firewall rule to allow SSH connections from the systems that require SSH access.
- SSH root logins are disabled by default: if you enable SSH, you must login as a regular user and can use su or sudo when you need to perform administrative actions. You should not change this default as this prevents an unwanted user from having complete access to your system.
- sudo is installed: and configured to allow users in the wheel group permission to run an administrative command after typing their password. By default, the first user you create during installation is added to the wheel group. You can use User Manager to add other users to this group. You can change the default sudo configuration using the visudo command as the superuser.
- AESNI[5] support is loaded by default for the Intel Core i5/i7 processors that support this encryption set. This support speeds up AES encryption and decryption.
- Automatic notification of security advisories: Update Manager will automatically notify you if an update is available as the result of a FreeBSD security advisory[6] that affects PC-BSD®. This allows you to keep your operating system fully patched with just the click of a mouse.
If you would like to learn more about security on FreeBSD/PC-BSD® systems, man security is a good place to start. These resources provide more information about security on FreeBSD-based operating systems:

Satchmo: The Life of Louis Armstrong (#404)
A self-taught trumpet player and singer burst onto the scene at age 17 in 1918, replacing the legendary King Oliver in Kid Ory's band. Over the next six decades he would turn the world of music on its ear and become one of the world's most recognized and best-loved entertainers. He recorded albums in every conceivable genre, from country to show tunes, toured the globe and influenced virtually " every musician of worth in popular music or jazz," as Tony Bennett says in this film by Gary Giddins. He was also an outspoken symbol of the civil rights movement, making a goodwill tour of western Africa and refusing to patronize New York clubs from which he had once been excluded. Named Best Music Video by Jazz Times Magazine in 1989, this film tracks Armstrong's life and career through recordings, performance footage, rare home movies, and interviews with friends and colleagues - among them Wynton Marsalis, Tony Bennett, Dave Brubeck, Lester Bowie, Dexter Gordon, Milt Hinton and many others.

Outwardly a sophisticated bon vivant and international partygoer, he was also a dedicated musical professional who routinely spent hours agonizing over a single rhyme or musical transition. The life and legacy of America's most sophisticated songwriter is the subject of this documentary, which features interviews with the performers and artists who knew Porter best and more than 20 classic performances from his movie musicals. [57 minutes]
Edward R. Murrow: This Reporter (Part 1 & 2) (#505)

From St. Paul, Minnesota, to the tip of Long Island to Paris, viewers are transported on F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's uniquely American journey and enveloped by their deeply emotional commentary. [86 minutes]
Richard Rodgers: The Sweetest Sounds (#1503)
Scheduled to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Richard Rodgers' birth, this program celebrates the master of the 20th-century musical -- the magic behind "Oklahoma," "Carousel," "The King and I," "Pal Joey" and "The Sound of Music." Exploring the stories behind the music, the program reveals the man who wrote music with feeling and transformed American musical theater along the way. He composed over 800 songs and wrote the scores for more than 40 musicals, yet his name is inseparable from his two famous collaborators -- Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein. Interviews and performances include Mary Rogers, John Lahr, Trevor Nunn, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Diahann Carroll and Shirley Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, The Mamas and The Papas, John Coltrane and Janis Joplin, Maureen McGovern and Billy Taylor. [116 minutes]
Quincy Jones: in the Pocket (#1504)

Celebrating his more than 50 years of music, AMERICAN MASTERS visits his past -- the albums and Grammys, the movies and music videos, the productions and collaborations, the scores of the rich and famous who owe part of their ascent to his remarkable vision -- and races to keep up with his future. [86 minutes]
Good Rockin' Tonight: The Legacy of Sun Records (#1505)
Sam Phillips opened a storefront recording studio in Memphis, Tennessee, more than 50 years ago, tapped into the rich musical vein of the Mississippi Delta and sparked a revolution. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Milton all got their start at Sun Records and ultimately inspired generations of musicians to come. This film, which earned a Gold CINDY award, has some of the last conversations with Sam Phillips, who died in 2002. Highlights include exclusive studio performances by Paul McCartney, Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and Bryan Ferry, performing together with original Sun musicians D.J. Fontana, Scotty Moore and Jerry Lee Lewis, in homage to the early Sun greats. [111 minutes]
Merce Cunningham: A Lifetime of Dance (#1506)
One of the 20th century's greatest choreographers, Merce Cunningham remains, at age 80, a fountain of creative youth. He continues to bring innovative, brilliant imagination, and new areas of expression to the world of dance. His first concert was in New York City in 1944. His most recent was in 2001. This one-hour film offers viewers exciting retrospective footage and a palpable feel for his now-historic collaborations with Martha Grahm, John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, and insight into the creative process itself through intimate footage of Cunningham's daily routines at home, around town and in the studio. [56 minutes]
Ralph Ellison: An American Journey (#1507)
Ralph Ellison's stature and respect emanate from a single novel so powerful that it and he effectively changed forever the way Americans -- and people around the world -- think about race. The novel is " Invisible Man." A monumental work about a black man whose intellect and talents could not overcome the barriers of his day, it won the National Book Award in 1953 and, to this day, is widely read and revered, dissected and debated. Ellison's own story is no less remarkable than the history of his fiction. Ellison never completed his second novel -- a fire in 1967 destroyed much of it, and he spent the remainder of his life reconstructing its 2,000-page manuscript. He died in 1994, leaving it unfinished. In 1999, his literary executor edited the raw draft into what has recently been released under the title "Juneteenth." In this 90-minute program, AMERICAN MASTERS offers provocative re-creations from the novel and important interviews with Cornell West, Imiri Baraka, Stanley Crouch and Henry Louis Gates, among others. [86 minutes]
Gene Kelly: Anatomy of a Dancer (#1508)
Among the beloved stars of Hollywood's golden age, Gene Kelly remains one of the most surprising. His first major film success came at the age of 30 - well past his prime as a dancer. A short 10 years later, he made his last hit. Single-handedly responsible for creating a new approach to film musicals as performer, choreographer and director, Kelly was equally determined to incorporate a distinctly athletic, American style into dance. "I didn't want to move or act like a rich man. I wanted to dance in a pair of jeans," he said. As this 90-minute documentary proves, Kelly went far beyond the grinning, beloved entertainer the world has come to know. His charisma and creativity were matched by a volatile temper, driven perfectionism, and the need for attention. Kelly's most enduring achievements are demonstrated in such films as Singin' in the Rain, On the Town and An American in Paris. [86 minutes]
Willie Nelson: Still Is Still Moving (#1601)
An extraordinary opportunity to hop on and off Willie's tour bus during his current concert circuit. [86 minutes]
Lon Chaney: A Thousand Faces (#1602)
This "man of a thousand faces," Hollywood's first great leading character actor remembered for The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Phantom of the Opera and Tell It to the Marines - developed his craft by mimicking and doing pantomime to amuse his deaf parents. Born in Colorado on April Fool's Day 1883, Leonidas F. Chaney began in vaudeville, established himself as an actor, a director and a screenwriter, and was the unique master of horror - before it became a formalized genre in the 1930s. Chaney was renowned for the almost masochistic lengths to which he would go in order to portray his " injured souls." In Hunchback, for instance, he wore 70 pounds on his shoulders, covered his eyeball with an eggshell membrane and contorted his body into a straitjacket. A genius with make-up, he was able to convincingly transform himself into anything at all - the old Hollywood quip was, "Don't step on that spider, it may be Lon Chaney!" [86 minutes]

This Berkeley hippie turned her give for food into consciousness about the environment & nutrition. [56 minutes]
Joni Mitchell: Woman of Heart and Mind (#1605)
The daughter of a grocery store manager and a teacher in Canada, Joni Mitchell is now a US citizen, a Buddhist, a poet and a painter, whose heroes are Miles Davis, Pablo Picasso and Georgia O'Keeffe. Uncompromising and iconoclastic, Mitchell has confounded expectations at every turn - wildly innovative, her music evolved from deeply personal folk into pop, jazz and avant-garde, prophetic of the multi-cultural experimentation of the `80s and `90s. Fiercely independent, she resisted the whims of mainstream audiences and the male-dominated recording industry. Mitchell's records may never have sold as widely as some of her contemporaries, but no one experimented so recklessly or so bravely explored territory outside of accepted pop music. [86 minutes]
Muddy Waters: Can't Be Satisfied (#1606)
Muddy Waters, a Mississippi Delta sharecropper's son, had two choices for escaping the life of a field hand: preacher or musician. In 1943, the sometime guitarist, sometime bootlegger hopped a train to Chicago, where he became the voice for a generation of like-minded Southerners scrambling for opportunity in the North. By the mid-1950s, Waters had, literally, electrified the blues. His hit songs -Hoochie Coochie Man, I Just Want to Make Love to You, Rollin' Stone -spoke for both a people and an era. His "dirty blues" entered the popular pantheon through performances by seminal rock stars from Led Zeppelin to Jimi Hendrix. The Rolling Stones, who took their name from Muddy's song, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton all credit Waters with nothing less than paving the path for rock and roll. To this day, Muddy Waters can be found on jukeboxes throughout the world. Bonnie Raitt sums up his raw power and sizzling vibe this way: "He is the sexiest blues man ever." [56 minutes]

Brown's call for "black power," his controversial lifestyle and his temporary, but devastating, fall from the spotlight in the 1970s are all explored through interviews with Brown and commentary by his closest friends, fellow musicians and celebrities. Little Richard, Al Sharpton, Dan Aykroyd and Chuck D are among those who help illuminate the film's pulsating original performances and rare archival footage. [86 minutes]

Cary Grant: A Class Apart (#1803)
Elegant. Witty. Stylish. A totally original talent. "Everyone wants to be Cary Grant... even I want to be Cary Grant," he was fond of saying. Born 100 years ago into dismal circumstances in Bristol, England, Archibald Leach got his start touring in vaudeville and eventually arrived in New York in 1920. He walked on stilts at Coney Island and sold neckties on midtown street corners before landing small parts, in route to Hollywood. He hit it big in 1933 as Mae West's leading man in She Done Him Wrong, followed by Sylvia Scarlett and the emergence of his classy on-screen persona - and the invention of that persona off-screen as well. He worked with such directors as George Cukor, Alfred Hitchcock and Howard Hawks in such films as Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday, North By Northwest, Notorious, and I Was a Male War Bride and opposite every top Hollywood female star, including Grace Kelly, Katherine Hepburn, Kim Novak, Ingrid Bergman, Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn. He remains one of the most adored actors in film history - whose greatest role was probably himself. [86 minutes]

His career began in the early 1920s as a Laurel and Hardy cameraman; he ultimately reigned as one of the most respected directors of all time. Always choosing quality over quantity, there is a timeless power to his work, equally meticulous whether it's the intricate footwork of Fred Astaire or the horrors of World War II - the landing at Normandy, the liberation of Paris, Allied troops arriving at Dachau - the only existing color footage of these events. This eloquent, evocative and entertaining biography of the famed producer-director was made by George Stevens Jr. with all the intimacy and insight of a son and protege, thoroughly exploring George Stevens the filmmaker and lovingly paying tribute to George Stevens the father, who died in 1975.

Tampa, Fla. -- It could've been difficult, or at least uncomfortable. One moment, Denard Robinson was among the most-recognizable college quarterbacks in the country, one of the game's all-time playmakers.
The next moment, he was watching his buddy do what he'd done. Devin Gardner is Michigan's dynamic new quarterback, a transition that was going to happen eventually. But how it happened is the telling measure of Robinson's impact.
As his remarkable college career ends with an unspecified role in the Outback Bowl against South Carolina because of his injured right elbow, Robinson remains hard to define as a quarterback, easy to define as a teammate. His impact isn't limited to his unique ability and possible status as college football's all-time leading quarterback rusher. (With 4,395 yards, he needs 86 to pass West Virginia's Pat White.)
Robinson will leave behind records and highlight reels, and a successor who received one of the best educations imaginable. In Gardner's first two years at Michigan, he shared an apartment with Robinson and they became competitive friends, or friendly competitors. Gardner learned by watching, and is ready to follow the ultimate humble leader.
"It sucks the way it happened, something I'd never wish for," Gardner said of Robinson's injury. "It might have been pretty hard on him, but he didn't show it. He didn't sweat anything, and he helped me a lot. That's the thing I really commend him for. Now I'm definitely prepared for it. There's enough pressure at Michigan, so to put added pressure on myself would be insane."
Robinson taught without really teaching, part of his enigma. For a player in the spotlight so long, he's still much closer to soft-spoken than out-spoken. And for all his success, there have been rough spots. He's an unparalleled runner and uncertain passer, and unless he throws in the Outback Bowl — perhaps unlikely with his injury — he'll finish with a completion percentage of 57.2.
Since Robinson injured an elbow nerve against Nebraska, Gardner has completed 63 percent of his passes, with eight touchdowns and four interceptions. In his four starts, Michigan's third-down conversion rate is an incredible 27-for-44.
Ask Robinson if it's difficult to watch his friend assume control, and he breaks out his famous smile. No complaints here. Even as a departing senior, it still seems all new to Robinson, who could line up at running back, quarterback, receiver, or even punt-returner on Jan. 1.
"I feel like this is still a dream for me because I never really thought I'd be playing at Michigan," he said. "We don't talk about that other stuff. We just talk about winning the game."
Robinson's health has been a mystery — he played mostly tailback the past two games — and he'll certainly play a role against South Carolina. But it also unlocked the mystery of Gardner, and in a way, Robinson facilitated the biggest transition yet.
He was the quiet kid from Florida, and for a while, everything was a blur. Gardner was the big-name recruit from Detroit who wanted to play so badly, he switched to receiver this season. In the apartment they used to share, and in the football roles they both craved, the only vicious competitiveness surfaced when they played video games or pool.
"From my first visit, I was able to connect with Denard," Gardner said. "We have the same silly personalities. He's been looked at as one of the best players ever to play in college, and the way he's handled it is amazing. He doesn't let anything affect him in a negative or positive way."
Gardner watched Robinson handle the attention, and Robinson watched Gardner handle the wait, and both gained important insight. They're different players, with Gardner more of a pure passer, although still a dangerous runner.
"Devin is one of those guys that people seem to follow, a people magnet," Robinson said. "I think he's just as much a leader on this team as I am. He's funny, and I've never seen him in a grumpy mood. Who doesn't like being around somebody that's so outgoing?"
Legacy of the 'Lace
To contrast Gardner and Robinson by the numbers isn't fair. And I still contend, Robinson will go down as one of the underappreciated stars ever at Michigan. He didn't become an accomplished passer but he endured relentless tumult, and was willing to take on any role.
Recruited by Rich Rodriguez for the spread offense, his role was thrown into question when Rodriguez was fired. Robinson scoffed at rumors of a transfer and committed to Brady Hoke and coordinator Al Borges' transition to a pro-style scheme. And all the Wolverines did was go 11-2 in Hoke's first season, then 8-4.
Gardner now has experience heading into his final two seasons (pending a medical redshirt), and a wise maturity that belies his quick-witted manner.
"He's a really smart quarterback, and he's also kind of goofy," receiver Roy Roundtree said. "He just turned 21 and now he tries to act mature, and I told him he's nothing but a big kid. But he's got that mind-set of being great. His work ethic is ridiculous."
Hoke and Borges talk positively about Gardner's growth but stop short of anointing the Next One, lest anyone forget Robinson's accomplishments.
The attention already is stirring, big shoelaces to fill. Some have slipped Gardner's name on early Heisman lists, which once may have dazzled the young quarterback, until he lived alongside the hype.
"Denard's humbleness is crazy, but he's still the ultimate competitor," Gardner said. "That's one thing people can't separate, that you can be confident without being arrogant. I also learned you can't necessarily be a leader without production, because it's hard for guys to follow you. It's production, not personality. On the field, I hardly ever smile anymore. It's business time, no time for jokes."
It's transition time for Michigan and Gardner, a new year dawning, a dynamo departing. And I suspect Robinson will leave behind more than just a blur.

Chapter 11: Ecological Concerns
C. F. Martin formalized its long-standing ecological policy in 1990. This program embraced the judicious and responsible use of traditional natural materials and encouraged the introduction of sustainable-yield, alternative wood species. Martin's consumer focus group research has led to the introduction and wide-spread acceptance of guitars utilizing structurally sound woods with natural cosmetic characteristics formerly considered unacceptable. Martin has also developed numerous sustainable-yield, alternative wood guitars for industry-wide exhibitions intended to educate our consumers and provide direction for the company and industry. The company recognizes CITES as the governing authority on endangered species and closely follows their directives.

new policy statement by the American
Heart Association (AHA) encourages clinicians to assess cardiorespiratory
fitness with the hope that researchers can gather more information on aerobic
fitness and its related variables to identify individuals who might be at risk
for adverse clinical outcomes.
AHA writing committee also advocates for the creation of a national registry
that includes data on cardiorespiratory fitness that would allow researchers to
track aerobic fitness over long periods of time, just as is being done with
other variables such as cholesterol, blood pressure, physical activity levels,
and body weight, among others. It also would provide more information on
normative aerobic fitness levels in subsets of the population.
According to a Heartwire article, one of the goals of the national
registry is to increase awareness about the importance of cardiorespiratory
fitness. Many of the assessments are performed in exercise centers and research
settings, but not as frequently in clinical practice.
While information is available in
pockets of the country, including data from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study, the hope is more information
would allow researchers to determine normative cardiorespiratory fitness
levels, via direct measurements of VO2, in groups stratified by age,
gender, and body composition in large samples representative of the US
The registry also would help define
normative values of aerobic fitness across strata of physical activity levels.
of the AHA policy statement, Leonard
Kaminsky, PhD, told Heartwire that "physical activity is simply a behavior, and while
both are inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease, there
are factors that contribute to aerobic fitness than other physical activity
levels, including age and genetics. In addition, cardiorespiratory fitness is a
more clinically meaningful measure than self-reported physical-activity levels,
which are prone to considerable error."
