Where to now for Dell, Apple and the rest?
INNOVATION TALK:In the face of Apple's declining fortunes, a rival technology chief executive was asked at a tech conference what he would do to fix the company whose best days, nearly everyone agrees, are behind it.
"What would I do?" the tech titan said to the large audience. "I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."
Lest you think this is a bit of an overreaction to Apple's sharp share price fall, there are two things worth noting – one, the rival wasn't Google's Larry Page or Samsung's Kwon Oh Hyun. Famously, it was none other than Michael Dell. Secondly, Dell didn't, in fact, utter these words recently – he said them back in 1997.
Dell's infamous advice to Apple is rather apposite given the fact that last week, he gave the money back to the shareholders and took the company private with a leveraged buyout in an attempt to save his ailing company, whose best days most definitely are behind it.
In fairness, Dell doesn't intend to shut his eponymous company down, but rather to refocus it away from the prying eyes of shareholders and Wall Street, following the IBM model and concentrating instead on high-value enterprise and consulting sectors.
But that anecdote about Dell's condescending advice to Steve Jobs doesn't just provide an opportunity to laugh at his enormous hubris, but also hints at just how shortsighted his vision was – he built a world-class supply chain that gave his company a real edge in the personal computer business, but that was the only thing of note he has ever created.
Dell seemed to assume that was enough, as if the evolution of the computer had reached its endpoint and selling Wintel boxes was going to be the perpetual order of things, but the subsequent 15 years have seen the computer industry's fundamental principles challenged and overthrown.
Back in 1997, the computer business was a model of horizontal integration – Microsoft provided the operating system and Intel provided the silicon chips that powered computers built by the likes of HP, Gateway and, of course, Dell. Owning the whole enchilada, as Jobs was determined to do when he returned to Apple that year, was seen as eccentric at best, downright suicidal at worst.
As it happened, staying vertically integrated was exactly the approach that allowed Apple to revolutionise mobile computing, and reap monster profits as it became, for a while, the largest company in the world by market cap.
In the meantime, Dell's supply-chain advantage evaporated as it outsourced manufacturing to the likes of Asus, one of the low-cost Asian firms who soon swallowed Dell's end of the PC market.

Nova Takes Re-Match With Moccasins; Sharks Score in 85th Minute for 2-1 Win
LAKELAND – The difference between Florida Southern and Nova Southeastern in their Sunshine State Conference match Wednesday night may have been a matter of inches. Whatever it was, it was the width of a single post. The Moccasins hit it once late in the game with the score tied before the Sharks went on to break the tie themselves a few minutes later and come away with a 2-1 win.
Wednesday's game was the second between the Moccasins (1-6-1, 0-1 Sunshine State Conference) and Sharks (5-3, 1-1), with Florida Southern winning a non-conference tilt in Davie by the count of 1-0. Nova was credited with 20 more shots than Florida Southern in that one, yet still lost when Jovaughn Howard came off the bench to score for the Mocs in the 71st minute. This time, the Moccasins cut the shot deficit in half, with Nova holding a 17-7 edge, yet the final result was nearly the same. The difference was the crossbar and Nova forward Riccardo Bini, who scored both goals for the Sharks.
The Moccasins trailed 1-0 before Carlos Rodriguez knotted the score on a penalty kick in the 60th minute. It was Rodriguez himself who won the PK in the first place, fighting for the ball inside the Nova Southeastern box, winning it back, and drawing the foul. The freshman from Tampa then calmly stepped to the 12-yard spot and slammed the kick home for his first career goal.
The Sharks came right back with heavy pressure and took four of their 17 shots in the match in the span of 3½ minutes immediately after the penalty kick. Brent Theriault saved two of them, including one by Bini right in front of the left post. The Sharks got a corner kick out of it, and Guido Riffeser lined up another shot from the left side of the box, but Theriault stopped that one too after it deflected off another player and spun toward the goal.
Not long after that, David Blanco checked into the game for Florida Southern and nearly duplicated Howard's game-winning heroics from earlier in the season. After Patrick Abrahamsson forced the issue in favor of Florida Southern in the attacking third, Blanco curled a shot from the top of the box that was over the head of goalkeeper Andrea Giombetti. It was almost perfect but instead of finding the back of the net in the very top left corner, the ball bounced off the bar and spun away from the goal. Rodriguez then put another shot high in the 76th minute.
Bini would then score his second goal of the night in the 85th minute when defender Karl Enarsson played the ball thru to him, allowing Bini to take it in for the 1-on-1 opportunity. The Sharks spent most of the remainder of the game trying to run time off the clock for their first conference win of the season.
The two sides spent most of the game's first 20 minutes testing each other with only one shot apiece during that time, and Nova's attempt coming 40 yards downfield. The Sharks' second shot resulted in a goal, however, as Andrea Spuntarelli fed Bini with a ball down the middle of the field, with Bini taking it directly into the box. Theriault came out to challenge him and got a hand on the shot, but could only watch as the ball still bounced over the line for Bini's fifth goal of the season.
The Moccasins tried to answer in the 28th minute on a free kick, but Abrahamsson pushed his shot too high. Mitchell Francois had a solid attempt too in the 44th minute when he tested Giombetti from the right wing, but it was saved to keep it a 1-0 game at halftime.
Another free kick in the 55th minute gave the Mocs another chance at the tying goal with Rodriguez placing it right into the middle of the box. The Nova defense appeared to be confused for a moment as the ball bounced in, but Giombetti managed to get it out of danger before the Mocs could take a shot.
Giombetti finished with two saves for Nova and Theriault made three for Florida Southern.
The Moccasins will be on the road for their next game on Saturday when they travel to Melbourne to face Florida Tech at 4:00 p.m.

Cannonfire Continues in Owego: Noise Ordinance Not Favored
9/5/2012 (Updated 10:57:39 PM)
A cannon too loud-- and a neighbor too close:That's the dilemma some residents say they are facing in Owego-- and they want officials to do something about it:
Patty Barber and her family say they've been subjected to repeated blasts from a propane-powered sound cannon fired--according to them--intentiionally in their direction--for no good purpose by a neighbor who seems intent on annoying them, and many of those who live in the same area.
The blasts, they say, begin early in the morning-- and continue through out much of the day--
When we sent a news crew to the location on Wednesday, the cannon was silent--
But the Barbers and almost two dozen of their neighbors were far from silent Wednesday evening, at a special meeting of the Town of Owego Board.
It was decided that that the town would approach the district attorney, to see if the annoyance is intentional-and whether any legal action could be brought.
Town of Owego Supervisor Don Castellucci says barring that, he doesn't favor any noise ordinance, since it would be hard to enforce- and monitor.
The Barbers say they moved from New Jersey to Owego-- for the peace, and quiet--that they tought they would enjoy in their own little Mayberry---
But they didn't count on cannonfire shattering their rainbow.
Fox 40 is following this story-- we'll tell you what the D.A. has to say about it, later this week.
We tried to reach the owner of the cannon for his side of the story, but we could not reach him Wednesday.

There was a preacher who fell in the ocean and he couldn't swim. When a boat came by, the captain yelled, "Do you need help, sir?" The preacher calmly said "No, God will save me." A little later, another boat came by and a fisherman asked, "Hey, do you need help?" The preacher replied again, "No God will save me." Eventually the preacher drowned & went to heaven. The preacher asked God, "Why didn't you save me?" God replied, "Fool, I sent you two boats!"

So, I just recently got a PS3. I'm a little late to the party, I'm well aware. I was pretty deep in the Xbox camp with the 360 but with how in love with my PS2 I was (I cried like a child when I finally sold it so that I could feed my dog) it was only a matter of time before Sony lured me back in. Ultimately, it was the need for Metal Gear Solid 4, the Uncharted series, and the Little Big Planet franchise that I finally picked up this system.
I don't use tumblr very much so I figured I'd establish it as a forum from which I rant, rave, praise, and complain about the PS3, the games, and my experience with it.
First, I LOVE the Netflix application for the PS3. Way sleeker and intuitive than the Xbox version. I will be using it as my primary Netflix vehicle now.
Second, Uncharted is frakin' HARD. I got Uncharted 1 and 2 as a bundle ($25.00 was a damn good price point to have both games) but if I had known that I was way too dumb to navigate the damn thing, I would have gotten Little Big Planet 2 (as my darling bride to be would have preferred). But no, I opted to follow the adventures of Nathan Drake or, as I am starting to affectionately refer to him as, Fleshy Bullet Holder. If I'm not being shot to death before I remember which button draws my gun, I'm busy leaping to my death like an idiot off of one of the many, many cliffs. I was pretty terrible at Tomb Raider, so I really shouldn't be surprised. It's a beautiful game to play, though, so I'm willing to hang in there.
Third, downloading old PSOne games. Hold. The. Phone. I can download Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 8, and Metal Gear Solid? Worth the price of the system easily for that alone. Those are two of the greatest games the original Playstation came out with and damn am I psyched to be able to download them and play them on my very large TV. I don't know if they'll be in HD and I don't even care.
Third point one, I was really bummed out that they were releasing Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 (as well as some PSP versions) updated for the next generation consoles. But to be able to download the original Metal Gear Solid was worth an additional paragraph of excitement.
Third point two, Breath of Fire 4 but not 3? Give me a break Sony. I'm mad at you until you allow me to download Breath of Fire 3. Fist shaking mad.
Fourth, Blu-Ray. OMFG. That is all.
All in all, despite my frustration about Uncharted (and that really only stems from my being an idiot when it comes to adventure games) I am quite pleased with my purchase. I still keep going back to Xbox because that's where I've dropped endless hours into Fallout: New Vegas, but that may change once I start playing Skyrim and Arkham City.

In August 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) mandated that permanent birth control be a covered procedure under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA). The decision followed a report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) that recommended the coverage of additional preventive health services to promote women's health. Under the PPACA, health plans must cover services listed in the HHS comprehensive list of preventive services at no cost to patients.
The approved preventive services in the HHS guidelines anticipated to have the greatest impact on adoption of the Essure procedure include:
All U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity(1)
Well-woman preventive care visit annually for adult women to obtain the recommended preventive services that are age and developmentally appropriate, including preconception and prenatal care
New, non-grandfathered private health plans must cover the guidelines on women's preventive services with no cost sharing in plan years starting on or after August 1, 2012. Plans will retain the flexibility to control costs and promote efficient delivery of care. For more information see http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2011pres/08/20110801b.html.

Maitland "Cultural Corridor"
Trip Ideas
Explore Further
Downtown Maitland doesn't have the same level of charm as downtown Winter Park, but the area known as the "Cultural Corridor" can lay claim to two highly unique museums. The Maitland Historical Museum and Telephone Museum (221 W. Packwood Ave., 407/644-1364, www.maitlandhistory.org, noon–4 p.m. Wed.–Sun., $3 adults, $2 children, children 5 and under free), focuses on the history of the Maitland area with lots of photographs and historical documents as well as, oddly enough, on the history of the telephone.
Actually, the specific focus is on the founding of the Winter Park Telephone Company, which you'll be reminded actually happened in Maitland, along with a cluttered room filled with ancient telephone switchboards, phone booths, and other telephone-related detritus. This odd little museum is certainly not enough to build a day around, but it's a nice stop.
The nearby Lake Lily Park (701 Lake Lily Dr.) is home to the equally quirky Waterhouse Residence Museum and Carpentry Shop Museum (407/644-2451, www.maitlandhistory.org, noon–4 p.m. Wed.–Sun., $3 adults, $2 children, children 5 and under free). The Victorian-era home of builder William Waterhouse provides a snapshot look at life in the late 19th century, complete with the collection of hand-powered tools in the shed out back…otherwise known as the Carpentry Shop Museum.

Deputy Police Chief Tom Williams said an officer stopped Santino Leigh LaPorta about 4:00 p.m. after noticing the vehicle had expired license plates. A search was conducted after the officer noticed a smell of burnt marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. The search turned up some amphetamine capsules, along with some marijuana cigarettes and a smoking device. LaPorta was jailed on preliminary charges of felony possession of a controlled substance, open bottle, possession of drug paraphernalia, and minor possessing alcohol in a vehicle.

The Potential Inside Movie Review
Review: Randy King
Photos: Courtesy of Redcloud Productions
The new mountain bike film, The Potential Inside, premiered in Lynchburg, Virginia on March 10, 2011. Liberty University's Tower Theater hosted the premier of this inspirational film, and several hundred attended the red carpet event and the showing.
The film is well produced, and shows off the Blue Ridge Mountains and Central Virginia's trails and twisty mountain roads. For a local rider who built my riding skills in these hills, it was a joy to see how good The Potential Inside made this area look on the big screen.
The film has a strong faith-based message, and is a Christian film as much as it is a mountain bike film. Director Scotty Curlee, who also wrote the script and stars in the film, does a good job of showing (not telling), and the serious messages conveyed in the movie are not meted out with a heavy hand. I'd summarize it as being a movie about the challenges and ups and downs of both cycling and life, and how we can overcome.
Most who have spent a significant time aboard bikes know that there is a spiritual component to our pursuit – it's one of the elements that warrant our obsession. The lessons learned striving for hard-to-achieve goals, suffering setbacks and overcoming trials mirror life and our spiritual journeys.
The Potential Inside is also a cycling film, and features mountain and road riding, with extensive race scenes and in-depth physical performance testing with Hunter Allen.
The dynamic between Jake (Michael Cuddire), who is not young although he is a racing rookie, and Chris (Scotty Curlee), the veteran who is at a loss in how to handle a deep personal loss, is what makes this film standout. As Chris shares from his expertise to help Jake realize his full potential as a mountain bike racer, Jake is able to help Chris come to terms with his deep loss and move forward with his life. Jake's age – which almost made Chris refuse to coach him – is what makes him believable as someone who has experienced and overcome tragedy in his own life. The dynamic is a well-executed example of Proverbs 27:17, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
I enjoyed watching The Potential Inside. While some of my enjoyment stemmed from seeing someone from my earliest days of mountain biking succeed in achieving their vision (Scotty Curlee was instrumental in LU's mountain bike club when I attended), and from seeing the trails I know and love on the big screen, I also enjoyed The Potential Inside for its quality storytelling, production and mountain bike scenes. I'll be picking up several copies of the film for those on my gift list when it goes on sale on April 19, 2011.

Is this Tracy Barlow's attacker?
Lots of you think that Claire Peacock did it - and the more I think about it, the more I'm hoping that she did.
After all, Claire was a friend to Tracy in the Charlie Stubbs' days, and Tracy took her for a fool, saying that she had 'the personality of a frying pan'.
I'm just hoping that if it was Claire who attacked Tracy, that she gave her a wallop around the head with that frying pan too.
Cue Cluedo: "It was Mrs Peacock, in the Barlow's back yard, with the frying pan, your honour!"

I'm certain it's Clurr, and good on 'er. Insulting the dead is a massive no-no.
- 4 January 2011 14:52
I'm pretty convinced it was Claire, otherwise there would have been no reason (plotwise) for Tracy to be so nasty to Claire re: Ashley's death.
Also Claire looked guilty when the police came into the pub to talk to Steve.
Also, she's leaving! - 4 January 2011 14:53
Brilliant in making it Clair the culprit -- her exit will be with a BANG then! Well, I'm hoping secretly somehow she'll escape justice and abscond to South America with the boys...set up her own pub or butcher shop...
- 4 January 2011 16:26
The synopses on my TIVO actually say that Claire is the attacker, and apparently we have a "seige of the Rovers" to look forward to very soon, where doubtless Becky will try to protect her friend.

Fair enough, & I wouldn't blame her, but I really hope they don't blame it on any kind of "mental health problem". I'll be writing a letter of complaint if they do (not that it'll make any difference).
- 4 January 2011 17:04
It is looking more and more like it's Claire. A real crime of passion. She's very cut up about losing Ashley, though I think more for the boys sake. And if anyone has mental health problems, it's Miss Thing (Copyright Tvor). I just don't understand why there isn't a resident psychologist on Corrie. Shouldn't there be one at the health center? You'd think that after the tram crash, the doctor would have brought in a grief counselor. The problem with MT (Miss Thing again) is that she hides her worst devious plots from everyone but her victim. But towards Claire it was out in the open. Cow!
- 4 January 2011 18:29
Whoever did it - I hope they get away with it! A good service was performed for all of us!

The only way I want it to be Clurr is if she can plead some kind of self defence or temporary insanity due to Ashley's death and Tarty Barlow's continuous taunting of her, so she can get off and leave the street with her boys.
Maybe she went to lunge at Clurr and her hooker shoes slipped on the cobbles and she hit her own head.
I did have my suspicions of Mary when Tarty Barlow gave her what for in the rovers and Mary gave her a look reminicent of something out of Phsyco. - 5 January 2011 00:11
Good point, maggie muggins. I thought the Doc looked alarmed and out of his depth when John consulted him. Almost thought he was going to ercommend talking to a priest let alone a therapist.
Really think Clurr stands a good chance of a suspended sentance under the circumstances. And there's no way she'd let Becky take the rapp for this, so a confession would go in her favour. Still think France is beckoning her & the boys.
(What's Matt Ramsden going to say though? It will mean an end to all of those access visits to Joshua, which clearly only happen at night under cover of darkness ...) - 5 January 2011 12:25
Ok... guys.. come on... Morse eat your heart out.. IT WAS MARY.... !! Tracy insulted Mary at the bar infront of everyone.. Mary did it...

Hi, Randy, Do you walk at forbidden Drive often? You live nearby and maybe we could carpool to one of the hikes.

Mike Long. (photographer, artist, dogsbody and chief bottle washer...)
Ah. The 'about me' part where I have to write all the wonderful things about myself that make me sound amazing...right?
So. What do you want to know?
I have been lucky enough to have had two births - the first was in the very early 1970's in England. I lived a very happy, if somewhat beige, life, settling in London where I lived for over 10 years. I was then reborn when I moved to America where my life has taken many twists and turns, and has certainly been full of color!
Along the way I have acquired two amazing and beautiful sons, found my passion in pin-ups which in turn led to a career I could never have imagined and that has led me to be a public speaker, helping photographers not only in America but as far away as Australia.
I have presented on stage, in Las Vegas, to the biggest photographer's convention in the world. I felt like Elvis. I'm sure at least 20% of them could understand my accent...
I have a huge imagination that just won't quit. I find beauty in the world around me. I love what I do. Can I stop talking about me now?
Recent selft portrait:

Reviewed by Automotive on 1/31/2013
If there is one thing Audi has always been known for, it's producing stellar vehicles with impressive powertrains and exceptionally sumptuous cabins. The A5 for the 2013 model year is no exception. This coupe, also available in convertible or Cabriolet, is a prime example of why Audi has such a devoted fan base. While it can't be said this is the perfect car, it can be said that is an exceptional one. From the well constructed, assertive body design, to the easy to use and reliable soft top on the convertibles, to the elegant interior, the A5 is worth paying attention to. With the turbocharged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine to the various transmission choices and option packages, it's easy to make the Audi A5 into the ideal coupe for the buyer's needs. This model is something special for anyone looking for a car capable of doing it all.
For the 2013 model year, there are some serious changes to note for the Audi A5. Potential buyers should look out for:
The 2013 Audi A5 is a high performance car available in coupe or convertible body styles. This model is featured with three available trim levels, the Premium, Premium Plus, and the Prestige. For most of the trim levels and package options, the A5 rides around on 18-inch alloy wheels. On the Premium Plus and Prestige models with the Sport package, the car features 19 inch wheels complete with high performance tires. There is no doubt about it the A5 for the 2013 model year is an attractive car with plenty of good features. The front end and grille are assertive and the grille is basically rectangular with the famous four interlocking rings in the center. The headlights are narrow and placed high on the hood. The hood, sides, and doors of this model feature plenty of curves with modern lines for a classy exterior design.
Refinement and understated elegance is the name of the game for the 2013 Audi A5. This car fits right in with its siblings in this regard. The interior is full of top notch materials and is well constructed too. The seats are plush and comfortable whether on long trips or quick jaunts around town. The driver's seat especially has a lot to offer with adjustable features and lumbar support. There is no helping the space issue in the rear of the cabin. Both the coupe and the convertible lack head and leg room. The backseats are only appropriate for shorter passengers. The coupe offers adequate cargo storage and comes in with the average amount for this type of car with 12.2 cubic feet. The convertible version doesn't do too badly in this regard for itself either. It features 10.2 cubic feet of cargo space.
While the 2013 A5 is equipped with plenty of high tech gadgets and gauges, they aren't as easy to use as many of the other interface and controller features on the market. This might be a turnoff for some buyers.
The Audi A5 is stocked with plenty of useful standard features. This model is equipped with traction and stability control as well anti-lock brakes in every trim level. It also has knee airbags and front seat side airbags. The coupe version features full length side curtain airbags additionally.
The higher trim levels are equipped with some special equipment of their own. In the Prestige trim level the coupe or convertible is standard with a blind spot monitor and adaptive cruise control. This cruise control system includes brake prep and an audible warning signal if the sensors detect an imminent frontal impact.
As a high performance vehicle, the 2013 Audi A5 is naturally equipped with an impressive powertrain. This model has a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine coupled with all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission on the coupe models. The convertible sports a continuously variable transmission or CVT and rear-wheel drive. This powertrain offers up 211 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy for this model is better than expected at 22/32 mpg city/highway for the coupe. The convertible offers 24/31 mpg city/highway.
Behind the wheel, the A5 acts more like a luxury coupe intended for touring the countryside than a sports car. That's not to say it doesn't offer plenty of power. It just manages to balance the two elements into a worthwhile driving experience. The A5 is heavier than many of its rivals, so drivers can also expect the car to feel secure on the road even around hairpin turns.

Research Interests
Dr Vincent Batwala has spent considerable time in malaria clinical trials including validating diagnostic tools to assess their accuracy and cost-effectiveness at the primary level of care in Uganda, an endemic area in sub Saharan Africa. His work provides empirical evidence for the need to improve diagnostic accuracy in such settings in the era of Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT); and will continue to impact on public policy. He is currently assessing the health and economic outcomes associated with treatment of patients with ACT when tested negative – a common practice in sub Saharan Africa. He is interested in operational research assessing new technologies that will contribute to malaria eradication; infectious disease surveillance; and spatial distribution of health outcomes.

Ride Through the Arctic Circle with Earthwatch
Project Case Study
To explore opportunites for adult volunteers, visit the Churchill, Manitoba, Canada and the Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, Canada project pages.
How are Earthwatch teen teams different?
Help show how much and how fast climate change is affecting the Arctic - and what that means for the entire planet.
In this awesome landscape, you'll study climate change by looking at its effects on Arctic wetlands and the frog, fish, and plant species that live in them. You'll help scientists study water quality, install "Frogloggers" to monitor the lifecycles of wood and boreal chorus frogs in the area, measure air temperature and relative humidity, and help count (and maybe live-trap-and-release) fish, frogs, and tadpoles for further study.
Earthwatch Team Facilitator
An Earthwatch Teen Team Facilitator will join your team to provide additional guidance, supervision, and activity organization for the expedition. Your facilitator will be there to help from the time you step off the plane for the team rendezvous to the end of the expedition. He or she will encourage team spirit by planning events such as team building exercises, presentations, and recreational and cultural activities. If you have any questions or problems during your expedition, such as issues with another student volunteer, homesickness, or an emergency back at home, you should feel comfortable talking to your facilitator. You should also follow the advice and expectations set by your facilitator regarding safety and personal conduct. All Teen Team Facilitators have experience teaching and leading groups of teenagers and are familiar with the team dynamics necessary to make each expedition a success. Remember, your facilitator is there for you! (Teen: Facilitator ratio: ~6:1)
You'll be based at the Churchill Northern Studies Center, featuring dramatic scenery and a dome for watching the Arctic sky, where you may catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. You'll stay in single-sex dormitory rooms with up to eight beds in each, a quiet lounge for reading, and shared modern washroom facilities with hot showers. Meals will be provided by the Center's cafeteria and will be varied, typically including a choice of salads, desserts, and a vegetarian alternative, along with fresh breads and evening snacks.
Churchill is located at the northern edge of the forest-tundra near the geographical center of the North American continent. It's on the coast and within the Hudson Bay Lowlands, the largest peatlands in North America, situated at the mouth of the Churchill River. Many different biomes can be found in the vicinity, including forest, forest-tundra, tundra, wetland/peatland, estuarine, and marine.
The land around Churchill is emerging from Hudson Bay as the earth's crust rebounds from the weight of the last ice age's glaciers at the rate of 80-100 centimeters a century. As land rises, raised beach ridges are formed and stand out in relief against the lowlands. Plant diversity is high for this latitude because Arctic, sub-Arctic, and Boreal species all meet in the region. Accordingly, Churchill is a favored area for the study of primary plant community succession.

Thousands of species of bony fishes are less than a few centimeters long as adults. Among the smallest is the endangered dwarf pygmy goby (Pandaka pygmaea). Adult males reach just 15 mm (0.6 in.), and adult females reach only about 9 mm (0.4 in.).
Some species can reach tremendous sizes - much larger than a human.
The longest bony fish is the oarfish (Regalecus glesne), which can reach 11 m (36 ft.).
Bony fishes show great variety in body shape, but the "typical" fish body shape is roughly cylindrical and tapering at both ends. This characteristic fusiform shape is quite energy efficient for swimming. Compared to other body shapes, this body shape creates less drag (the opposing force an object generates as it travels through water).
Various species of fishes deviate from the fusiform body shape in three ways: compression, depression, and elongation.
A laterally compressed (flattened, side-to-side) body shape is common in bony fishes that live in dense cover or within coral reefs. Butterflyfishes (family Chaetodontidae) are an example of bony fishes with a laterally compressed body shape.
The body shape of some species differs from or combines features of these typical fish body forms. Examples include boxfishes (family Ostraciidae ), ocean sunfishes (family Molidae), seahorses (Hippocampus spp.), the weedy seadragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus), and the leafy seadragon (Phycodurus eques).
Most fish species have pigmentation.
Pigment is mostly contained in cells called chromatophores. Most fishes can contract and expand their chromatophores to change colors.
Coloration may camouflage a fish.
Most species of fishes are countershaded: the dorsal (top) surface is darker than the ventral (underneath) surface. When light comes from above, the animal appears inconspicuous. The dorsal side of a countershaded fish blends in with the dark ocean depths or ocean bottom when viewed from above. The ventral side blends in with the lighter surface of the sea when viewed from below. A countershaded fish is harder for predators and prey to spot.
Some fishes show disruptive coloration. Their colors and pattern obscure the outline of the fish by contradicting the animal's body shape.
Highly distinctive elements may confuse predators. For example, some fish have a false eyespot that can fool a predator into striking in the wrong direction, allowing the fish to escape.
In some species, coloration serves as advertisement to other animals.
Some fishes rely on coloration for species recognition and sexual distinction. The stoplight parrotfish (Sparisoma viride) female and male are completely different colors, although they are similar in shape and size. Some species of fishes become brighter in color during breeding season to attract potential mates.
Some fish change color.
Some species change color and markings as they grow from juveniles to adults. Juvenile garibaldi (Hypsypops rubicundus), for example, are dark orange with bright blue spots; adults are bright orange.
Some fish bioluminate (emit light).
Certain pigments (called luciferins) emit light when oxidized.
All fishes have fins. Bony fish families show various degrees of fin fusion and reduction.
Fins help stabilize or propel a fish in the water.
Except in the lungfishes and the coelacanth, fins lack bones. In Actinopterygians, fins are supported by structures called rays.
Some bony fishes have soft, flexible fin rays.
Fishes have two kinds of fins: paired fins (pectoral and pelvic) and median fins (dorsal, caudal, and anal).
Typically, the paired pectoral fins help a fish turn. In some fishes, pectoral fins are adapted for other functions.
Some bony fishes, such as the hawkfishes (Cirrhitichthys spp.) use their pectoral fins to help them "perch" at the bottom and on reef areas. Mudskippers (family Periophthalmidae) support themselves on land with their pectoral fins.
The dorsal fin may be a single fin or separated into several fins. In most bony fishes, the dorsal fin is used for sudden direction changes and acts as a "keel", keeping the fish stable in the water. In some fishes, the dorsal fin is adapted for other functions.
In the anglerfishes (order Lophiiformes), the dorsal fin is a lure that attracts prey.
The anal fin adds stability. In some fishes, the anal fin is adapted for other functions.
The black ghost knifefish (Apteronotus albifrons) undulates its anal fin as a means of propulsion.
Some species of bony fishes have reduced or absent fins. For example, morays (family Muraenidae) lack pectoral fins and pelvic fins. Several species lack an anal fin.
Eye size and position vary depending on the habitat and behavior of the species.
Some species have eyes positioned for a field of vision below or above their bodies. The South American catfish (family Hypophthalmidae) has eyes directed downward. Many species, including the sand divers (family Dactyloscopidae) have eyes directed toward the surface.
In most species, the gills are protected by a flexible plate called an operculum. Most bony fishes have a single pair of gill openings. Some bony fishes such as eels (family Anguillidae) have a pair of gill holes or pores that aren't covered by an operculum.
The nostrils of most bony fishes have no connection with the mouth or gills. In some bony fishes (such as eels), the nostrils' incurrent and excurrent openings are widely separated.
Mouth shape and size are good indications of bony fish's feeding habits.
Most bony fishes have mouths at the front end of the head.
Most species of bony fishes are covered with and protected by a layer of plates called scales.
There are four different kinds of bony fish scales: cosmoid, ganoid, cycloid, and ctenoid.
True cosmoid scales are found only on extinct Crossopterygians. The inner layer of a cosmoid scale is compact bone. On top of this bone layer lays a spongy layer and then a layer of cosmine (a type of dentin). The upper surface is enamel. The living coelacanth has modified cosmoid scales, which are thinner than true cosmoid scales.
Cycloid scales overlap from head to tail, an arrangement that helps reduce drag as a fish swims.
Some bony fishes may have scales only on portions of their body, and some species have no scales.
Body spines are modified scales.
Protective spines are common in slow-swimming fishes and others that need to protect themselves without moving.
Most surgeonfishes (family Acanthuridae) have mobile, razor-sharp precaudal fin spines that they use to protect themselves.
A fish secretes a layer of mucus that covers its entire body. Mucus helps protect a fish from infection.
Some species of parrotfishes (family Scaridae) envelop their bodies in mucous bubbles at night while they rest. This mucous barrier may "hide" the parrotfish from nocturnal predators that rely on their sense of smell to locate prey.

The surgeons of Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals' nationally recognized kidney transplantation program perform between 80 and 100 live and cadaveric kidney transplants each year, with results that exceed Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) benchmarks: graft survival rates of over 94 percent and patient survival rates of over 96 percent. These highly superior outcomes can be attributed not just to the skill of the surgical team, but also to meticulous presurgical screening and comprehensive postsurgical care.
Jefferson's Kidney Transplant Program consists of experienced nephrologists, transplant surgeons, transplant coordinators, social workers, a financial coordinator and other specialists who will guide you and your family from evaluation through post-operative recovery. We support you with state-of-the-art technology and sophisticated techniques for both donors and recipients. You'll also meet a team of highly specialized nurses and physicians, deeply experienced in the operation you are now considering.
Our specialists work in close coordination to provide the best care possible and to match the right recipient with an available donor organ. The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), which administers the nation's policies on organ transplantation and procurement, designated Jefferson as a kidney transplant center for both live donor and deceased donor kidneys. We are also ranked as a Top Hospital for Kidney Disease by Philadelphia magazine.
At Jefferson, nearly all transplants are performed by laparoscopic nephrectomy, a procedure that is less traumatic for the donor than traditional, open-surgery kidney removal. We also provide long-term follow-up care through clinical visits and monitored laboratory studies. We believe our detailed follow-up care contributes to our Program's high success rate.
While not a cure, kidney transplantation enables you to resume a healthier, independent lifestyle without the need for dialysis. Our team continues to search for new ways to assist patients in seeking a better quality of life through kidney transplant.
