Great Shows. Great Hosts. Another Great Season Pl a nnerMichiana’s bi-monthly Guide to WNIT Public Television Issue No. 1 January — February 2012 Great Shows. Great Hosts. another Great Season. Gail Martin and Evie Kirkwood celebrate the 11th season premieres of their popular shows DINNER AND A BOOK and OUTDOOR ELEMENTS. Board of Directors Mary’s Message Mary Pruess Chair David M. Findlay President and GM, WNIT Public Television Vice Chair Rodney F. Ganey Ida Reynolds Watson President Mary Pruess Treasurer Kevin J. Morrison Secretary Janet M. Botz Directors Kathryn Demarais Robert G. Douglass Irene E. Eskridge The Roman god Janus aptly lends his name to our month of January since the god of doors and David D. Gibson entrances was typically portrayed as having two heads, one looking behind to the past and one looking William A. Gitlin forward to the future. Similarly, the beginning of a new year is a good time for WNIT to reflect on Tracy D. Graham where we’ve been and project where we are going. Larry D. Harding It was just one year ago that WNIT re-designated its channels, making 34.1 our primary channel and James W. Hillman WNIT InFocus 34.2 our secondary. Now that a year has passed and the dust has settled, this would be Najeeb A. Khan an opportune time to review the WNIT channel designations over a variety of venues. Viewers who Glenn E. Killoren receive television over the air need only select 34.1 or 34.2 on their dials to receive both our channels. Evelyn Kirkwood Ryan Matthys For those who receive television via Comcast cable, the following may be helpful: Mary Louise Miller Comcast carries 34.1 as its channel 10 in South Bend, Mishawaka, Goshen, Bristol, Elkhart, Plymouth, Pat Moody Rochester, Middlebury, Jefferson Township, Wakarusa and eastern LaPorte County, Indiana, and Dr. Susan Ohmer Edwardsburg, Niles, Buchanan, Cassopolis, Dowagiac, St. Joseph (city), Berrien Springs, Stevensville Jill Richardson and New Buffalo, Michigan. Maritza Robles It carries 34.1 as channel 4 in Argos, Bourbon, Bremen, Culver, Knox, Lakeville, LaPaz, Nappanee, Cari Shein North Judson, North Liberty, Syracuse and Walkerton, Indiana. It carries 34.1 as channel 11 in Thomas E. Slager LaGrange County, Indiana and Constantine and White Pigeon, Michigan. 34.1 is channel 26 in Craig D. Sullivan LaPorte (city) and western LaPorte County, Indiana. Comcast also carries WNIT InFocus 34.2 as Michael J. Wargo channel 371 and it carries 34.1 in High Definition as 191. Charter Directors For viewers who receive television via Dish and Direct satellite providers or AT&T U-verse, 34.1 is the Mr. Arthur J. Decio only WNIT channel available, carried as channel 34. Regardless of how you receive us, WNIT is PBS Mr. Jerry Hammes for Michiana and that means we provide the best television on television. Mrs. Ernestine M. Raclin Mrs. Jane Warner Looking forward, 2012 promises to be challenging and rewarding as we expand our community Mr. Dar Wiekamp* partnerships, built viewership and membership and create more awarding-winning programs and documentaries. For example, during 2011 we provided tours of the facility to 349 persons and meeting Honorary Life Director space for 426 persons in outside groups.

  • South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula Earth’S Greatest Wildlife Destination October 21 to November 12, 2021
    South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula Earth’s Greatest Wildlife Destination October 21 to November 12, 2021 King Penguins, South Georgia Island © Scott Davis SAFARI OVERVIEW Experience the vibrant spring of South Georgia Island and the early season of the Antarctic Peninsula. Beneath the towering, snow-blanketed mountains of South Georgia Island, observe and photograph special wildlife behaviors seldom seen. This time of year is the only time you can find southern elephant seal bulls fight for territories while females nurse young, distinctly marked gray-headed albatross attending to their cliffside nests, and awkward wandering albatross young attempting first flight. You’ll stand amongst vast colonies of king penguins and watch macaroni penguins launching into the ocean. This time of year, the Antarctic Peninsula is in the beginnings of its spring season when the ice in the Weddell Sea can open up, allowing opportunities for lone emperor penguins to wander on ice floes. At penguin colonies, you’ll find penguins courting, setting up nests, and perhaps laying eggs. Through over twenty-five years of experience in the Antarctic, we offer the most in-depth exploration of one of the densest wildlife spectacles found anywhere in the world, and with only 100 passengers, you’ll have ample opportunities to experience this spectacle during every landing and Zodiac cruise. Cheesemans’ Ecology Safaris Page 1 of 19 Updated: March 2021 HIGHLIGHTS • Spend six full days on South Georgia Island and six full days in the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands with maximum shore time and Zodiac cruising. • See five penguin species (possibly 6)! Plus, many species of whales, seals, albatross, and seabirds.

  • Anatomical Adaptations of Aquatic Mammals
    THE ANATOMICAL RECORD 290:507–513 (2007) Anatomical Adaptations of Aquatic Mammals JOY S. REIDENBERG* Center for Anatomy and Functional Morphology, Department of Medical Education, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, New York ABSTRACT This special issue of the Anatomical Record explores many of the an- atomical adaptations exhibited by aquatic mammals that enable life in the water. Anatomical observations on a range of fossil and living marine and freshwater mammals are presented, including sirenians (manatees and dugongs), cetaceans (both baleen whales and toothed whales, includ- ing dolphins and porpoises), pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses), the sea otter, and the pygmy hippopotamus. A range of anatomical sys- tems are covered in this issue, including the external form (integument, tail shape), nervous system (eye, ear, brain), musculoskeletal systems (cranium, mandible, hyoid, vertebral column, flipper/forelimb), digestive tract (teeth/tusks/baleen, tongue, stomach), and respiratory tract (larynx). Emphasis is placed on exploring anatomical function in the context of aquatic life. The following topics are addressed: evolution, sound produc- tion, sound reception, feeding, locomotion, buoyancy control, thermoregu- lation, cognition, and behavior. A variety of approaches and techniques are used to examine and characterize these adaptations, ranging from dissection, to histology, to electron microscopy, to two-dimensional (2D) and 3D computerized tomography, to experimental field tests of function. The articles in this issue are a blend of literature review and new, hy- pothesis-driven anatomical research, which highlight the special nature of anatomical form and function in aquatic mammals that enables their exquisite adaptation for life in such a challenging environment.

It initially evolved from the protective anatomy used to keep water out of a buoyancy organ in fish (the swim bladder). The main function of the larynx remains protection, only now it prevents incursions of foreign material into the “windpipe” (trachea) and lungs of mammals. The entrance of the larynx is sealed by a pair of vocal “cords” (vocal folds). In ad- dition, there are tall cartilages (epiglottic and corniculate) that act as splashguards to deflect food and water away from the opening. These cartilages overlap in front with the soft palate and behind with the posterior wall of the airspace (pharyn- geal wall) to interlock the larynx with the rear of the nasal cavity (Figure 1).

  • Adaptations of the Cetacean Hyolingual Apparatus for Aquatic Feeding and Thermoregulation
    THE ANATOMICAL RECORD 290:546–568 (2007) Adaptations of the Cetacean Hyolingual Apparatus for Aquatic Feeding and Thermoregulation ALEXANDER J. WERTH* Department of Biology, Hampden-Sydney College, Hampden-Sydney, Virginia ABSTRACT Foraging methods vary considerably among semiaquatic and fully aquatic mammals. Semiaquatic animals often find food in water yet con- sume it on land, but as truly obligate aquatic mammals, cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) must acquire and ingest food under- water. It is hypothesized that differences in foraging methods are reflected in cetacean hyolingual apparatus anatomy. This study compares the musculoskeletal anatomy of the hyolingual apparatus in 91 cetacean specimens, including 8 mysticetes (baleen whales) in two species and 91 odontocetes (toothed whales) in 11 species. Results reveal specific adapta- tions for aquatic life. Intrinsic fibers are sparser and extrinsic muscula- ture comprises a significantly greater proportion of the cetacean tongue relative to terrestrial mammals and other aquatic mammals such as pin- nipeds and sirenians. Relative sizes and connections of cetacean tongue muscles to the hyoid apparatus relate to differences in feeding methods used by cetaceans, specifically filtering, suction, and raptorial prehension. In odontocetes and eschrichtiids (gray whales), increased tongue muscula- ture and enlarged hyoids allow grasping and/or lingual depression to gen- erate intraoral suction for prey ingestion. In balaenopterids (rorqual whales), loose and flaccid tongues enable great distention of the oral cav- ity for prey engulfing. In balaenids (right and bowhead whales), large but stiffer tongues direct intraoral water flow for continuous filtration feed- ing. Balaenid and eschrichtiid (and possibly balaenopterid) mysticete tongues possess vascular retial adaptations for thermoregulation and large amounts of submucosal adipose tissue for nutritional storage.
