Phoronix: Fedora 13 Alpha Released With Plenty Of Features
Following a one week delay, the first alpha release for Fedora 13 is now available. The final release of Fedora 13 is not due out until May, but this is the only development release of Goddard before this Red Hat Linux operating system reaches its beta stage. There's tons of new work in Fedora 13 already like NFSv4 and DisplayPort support, Btrfs system rollbacks, many package updates, and Nouveau Gallium3D support. In the Fedora 13 Alpha announcement, also mentioned is better automatic printer setup with automatic driver installation, automatic installation of language packs, a redesigned user management interface, GNOME Color Management, NetworkManager enhancements, SystemTap static probes, and much more. The Fedora 13 Alpha release announcement can be read on the mailing list...
See if any of known issues documented at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F13_bugs matches the behavior you are seeing and if not file a bug report yourself.
We have nightly builds to test as well
As usual rawhide builds don't fit on a CD (> 830M). According to this bugreport, booting the LiveCD-ISO (which uses dracut-004-5.fc13) through grub2's isoloop function should work but doesn't either: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557426
For installation purpose boot.fedoraproject.org might work, but is there any chance to boot the Live-Image without burning a DVD?
Rawhide = Fedora 14 development branch and if you are referring to the nightly builds of Fedora desktop has moved to being around a 1 GB live image starting with this release.
Your options are
* boot.fedoraproject.org
* boot.iso to do a network installation
* Regular installation DVD /CD set
* USB keys
Thank you. I was talking about the Alpha-Release of F13 and the Live-ISO is just too big for CD-R(W):
Code:836M F13-Alpha-i686-Live.iso
On the other recommended options, there might be a problem with my USB-stick, which uses some fancy FAT16 partition layout. Fedoras liveusb-creator doesn't work for me and I fear that copying over an boot image with dd would't work either.
I have however manually prepared the USB-stick with grub2 and e.g. booting SystemRescueCd-x86-1.4.0.iso from it works just fine. I think it should be that easy with Fedora LiveCD-Images too, but I couldn't get 13-Alpha-i686-Live.iso to boot.
Okay, to be fair there is a bug in Grub2 (error: invalid magic number" when booting from ISO loopback) when trying to boot some iso's from USB-sticks. So let's forget about USB-sticks, but it should work with an ISO-Image on hdd right now (as Ubuntu 9.10 images do for reference).
On the other hand I've read of just extracting "vmlinuz0" and "initrd0.img" from the LiveCD to hdd which should allow booting even with grub-legacy. Well, in that case grub complains about "invalid executable format" using the "vmlinuz0" from F13-Alpha-LiveCD.
Propably I'm not the "most experienced end user (TM)" and I know this is neither a Fedora support forum nor a bug tracker. With Grub2 and isoloop in Fedora/Dracut/Grub2 beeing in an early stage it would be the best to give a minimal CD-Image from boot.fedoraproject.org a chance.
Maybe some day booting the LiveCD of Alpha releases will become idiot proof even for regular users through Grub2. Until then I have to wait for "real LiveCD-Images" that fit on a CD-R. Keep up the good work at Fedora/RedHat.
Grub2 can access files from an iso, that should not be the problem. But why does that bugzilla entry mention the options for UBUNTU iso-scan/filename is only implemented in lupin-casper package which is used there together with capser for the live initrd. That has got absolutely nothing to do with Fedora! As lupin-casper is not in Debian that option does not work with live-initramfs too...
The target of the desktop (GNOME) Live image for Fedora 13 is to fit into a 1 GB USB key. The choices are
* Simply use dd on any Linux system
* Use Fedora live usb creator on Windows or Fedora
* Use livecd-creator from livecd-tools package
Is is all explained in more detail at
If you have problems, specific bug reports would be welcome.
i figured out my issue.
i've disconnected my floppy drive a few months ago, but forgot to disable it in bios. installer kept trying to scan /dev/fd0 all the time, and kept getting errors.
still it's all for the best. i have an lvm on top of encrypted partition, and there seem to be some dangerous issues with it.

Flipping on the news or walking through the checkout line these days has become a minefield of celebrity drama stories.
It is basically impossible to watch a news broadcast without being inundated with stories about which celebrity is getting a divorce, who is having baby mama drama, or who got in a fight at which club over the weekend.
And don't even get us started about those tabloids and magazines that always seem to have the same cover story about "This Celebrity's Shocking (You fill in the blank)!"
If 2011 has given you a bad case of celebrity overload, join us for a look at five celebrities we are hoping will stop flaunting their scandals and get out of our faces in the coming year.
No. 5: The Kardashian clan
Every time we think that everything has been said about the Kardashians, they manage to come up with something that gets their faces splashed across the tabloids all over again.
The message that Kourtney is pregnant again came soon after Kim's divorce announcement. Apparently her $10 million wedding wasn't enough to keep the love between her and Kris Humphries alive.
Even younger brother Rob Kardashian took his turn in the spotlight, making it all the way to the finals of season 13 of "Dancing with the Stars," where he won second place.
And then there's the nail polish line, fragrance line, and is Khloe being sued for assault and battery? The stunts just keep coming, and frankly, we're tired of it. And what's with all the "K" names, anyway?
No. 4: Lindsay Lohan
LiLo was such a promising child star. Her roles in "The Parent Trap" and "Freaky Friday" won her acting awards and tons of publicity, but lately, we feel a little bored with her.
The actress/singer/model keeps getting herself into trouble with the law, but we just want our favorite "Mean Girl" back.
Since 2007, Lohan has had multiple DUI offenses and visits to different rehab facilities. She could have gotten through this much more easily, but the terms of her probation keep somehow slipping her mind.
Her courtroom battles thus far have all gone similarly -- she is sentenced to jail time, gets put on probation, goes to jail briefly (if at all), then violates her probation and starts the cycle all over again.
Maybe after her recent Playboy photo shoot, the star will clean up her act, but we hope maybe she'll keep it out of the tabloids in the future.
No. 3: Justin Bieber
Teen idol Justin Bieber has had tweens around the world in awe of his beautiful singing voice since being discovered in 2008. With help from other artists like Usher, Ludacris and, more recently, Boyz II Men, Biebs became a pop sensation before even hitting puberty.
Since his fame skyrocketed, his face has been splashed across the tabloids, especially in photos of him and his Disney star girlfriend Selena Gomez. There was even a Facebook rumor going around about him being stabbed by a crazed fan.
The recent paternity suit against Bieber caught a lot of attention, with tween fans everywhere hoping to hear those magic words, "You are NOT the father!" And then there was the debate over how it would impact his relationship with Gomez and wondering what she thinks of the whole debacle.
Personally, we were praying their return flight from a recent romantic getaway to Mexico got stuck so that we could stop puking over their cuteness.
No. 2: Ashton Kutcher

Common chimpanzee
The common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also known as the robust chimpanzee, is a species of great ape. Colloquially, the common chimpanzee is often called the chimpanzee (or "chimp"), though this term can be used to refer to both species in the genus Pan: the common chimpanzee and the closely related bonobo, formerly called the pygmy chimpanzee. Evidence from fossils and DNA sequencing show both species of chimpanzees are the sister group to the modern human lineage.
The common chimpanzee is covered in coarse black hair, but has a bare face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. It is considered more robust than the bonobo, weighing between 40 and 65 kg (88 and 140 lb) and measuring approximately 1.3 to 1.6 m (4 ft 3 in to 5 ft 3 in) from head to tail. Its gestation period is eight months. The infant is weaned at about three years old, but usually maintains a close relationship with its mother for several more years; it reaches puberty at the age of eight to 10, and its lifespan in captivity is about 50 years.
The common chimpanzee lives in groups which range in size from 15 to 150 members, although individuals travel and forage in much smaller groups during the day. The species lives in a male-dominated, strict hierarchy, which means disputes can generally be settled without the need for violence. Nearly all chimpanzee populations have been recorded using tools, modifying sticks, rocks, grass, and leaves and use them for acquiring honey, termites, ants, nuts, and water. The species has also been found creating sharpened sticks to spear Senegal bushbabies out of small holes in trees.
The common chimpanzee is listed on the IUCN Red List as an endangered species. Between 170,000 and 300,000 individuals are estimated across its range in the forests and savannahs of West and Central Africa. The biggest threats to the common chimpanzee are habitat destruction, poaching and disease.

The species name troglodytes, Greek for "cave-dweller", was coined by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in his book De generis humani varietate nativa liber ("[Book] on the natural varieties of the human genus") published in 1776,[3][4] This book was based on his dissertation presented one year before (it had a date 16 Sep 1775 printed on its title page) to the University of Göttingen for internal use only,[5] thus the dissertation did not meet the conditions for published work in the sense of zoological nomenclature.[6]
The English name chimpanzee came from a Bantu language of Angola.[7]
Evolutionary history[edit source | edit]
Despite a large number of Homo fossil finds, chimpanzee fossils (genus Pan) were not described until 2005. Existing chimpanzee populations in West and Central Africa do not overlap with the major human fossil sites in East Africa. However, chimpanzee fossils have now been reported from Kenya. This would indicate that both humans and members of the Pan clade were present in the East African Rift Valley during the Middle Pleistocene.
According to John Gribbin and Jeremy Cherfas in their books The Monkey Puzzle: Reshaping the Evolutionary Tree and The First Chimpanzee: In Search of Human Origins, chimps and bonobos may be descended from Australopithecus. Chimpanzees were amongst the animals affected during the Toba eruption, hinting that Toba ash extended far west as Africa.
Taxonomy[edit source | edit]
DNA evidence suggests the bonobo and common chimpanzee species separated from each other less than one million years ago (similar in relation between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals).[8][9] The chimpanzee line split from the last common ancestor of the human line approximately six million years ago. Because no species other than Homo sapiens has survived from the human line of that branching, both chimpanzee species are the closest living relatives of humans. The chimpanzee's genus, Pan, diverged from the gorilla's genus about seven million years ago.
Four subspecies of the common chimpanzee have been recognized:[10][11]
- Central chimpanzee or tschego, Pan troglodytes troglodytes, in Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Western chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes verus, in Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, and Ghana
- Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes ellioti (also known as Pan troglodytes vellerosus)[12], in Nigeria and Cameroon
- Eastern chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii, in the Central African Republic, the Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Zambia
Physical description[edit source | edit]
The adult male common chimpanzee weighs between 40 and 60 kg (88 and 130 lb), the female weighs 32 to 47 kg (71 to 100 lb),.[13] However, large wild males can weigh up to 70 kg (150 lb) and males in captivity, such as Travis the Chimp, have reached 91 kg (200 lb).[14][15][16] Head-body length (from the nose to the rump while on all fours) ranges from 63 to 94 cm (25 to 37 in).[16][17] Males can measure up to 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) tall while standing and females up to 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) tall. Their bodies are covered by coarse black hair, except for the face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Researchers report their "muscles [are] five times as dense as a man's. So dense they can't swim."[18]
Both its thumbs and big toes are opposable, allowing a precise grip. The common chimpanzee is both arboreal and terrestrial and spends its nights in the trees, while most daylight hours are spent on the ground.[19] Its habitual gait is quadrupedal, using the soles of its feet and resting on its knuckles, but it can walk upright for short distances. The common chimpanzee is a 'knuckle walker', like the gorilla and the bonobo,[19] in contrast to the quadrupedal locomotion of the orangutan, a 'palm walker' that uses the outside edge of its palms.
Ecology[edit source | edit]
The common chimpanzee is a highly adaptable species. It lives in a variety of habitats, including dry savanna, evergreen rainforest, montane forest, swamp forest, and dry woodland-savanna mosaic.[20][21] In Gombe, the chimpanzee lives in subalpine moorland, open woodland, semideciduous forest, evergreen forest, and grassland with scattered trees.[21] At Bossou, the chimpanzee inhabits multistage secondary deciduous forests, which have grown after shifting cultivation, as well as primary forests and grasslands.[22] At Taï, it can be found in the last remaining tropical rainforest in Côte d'Ivoire.[23]
The chimpanzee has an advanced cognitive maps of its home range and can repeatedly find food.[21] The chimpanzee makes a night nest in a tree in a new location every night, with every chimpanzee in a separate nest other than infants or small chimpanzees, which sleep with their mothers.[24] When confronted by a predator, the chimpanzee will react with loud screams and use any object it can against the threat. Leopard predation is apparently a significant cause of mortality in chimpanzees at Taï and Lopé National Parks.[23][25]
In some cases, the common chimpanzee has been documented killing leopard cubs,[26] an act which primarily seems to be a protective effort. Lions may have also preyed on the chimpanzees at Mahale Mountains National Park, where at least four chimpanzees could have fallen prey to them.[27] Although no other instances of lion predation on chimpanzees have been recorded, the larger group sizes of savanna chimps may have developed as a response to threats from these big cats.[27] Isolated cases of cannibalism have also been documented.[28]
Diet and foraging[edit source | edit]
The chimpanzee is an omnivorous frugivore. It prefers fruit above all other food items and will even seek out and eat them when they are not abundant. It will also eat leaves and leaf buds. Seeds, blossoms, stems, pith, bark and resin, insects and meat make up the rest of its diet.[21][29] While the common chimpanzee is mostly herbivorous, it does eat honey, soil, insects, birds and their eggs, and small to medium-sized mammals, including other primates.[21][30] The western red colobus ranks at the top of preferred mammal prey. Other mammalian prey include, red-tailed monkeys, yellow baboons, blue duikers, bushbucks and warthogs.[31] Jane Goodall documented many occasions within Gombe Stream National Park of chimpanzees and western red colobus monkeys ignoring each other within close proximity.[32][33]
When hunting small monkeys such as the red colobus, the chimpanzee hunts where the forest canopy is interrupted or irregular.[34] This allows it to easily corner the monkeys when chasing them in the appropriate direction. Chimps may also hunt as a coordinated team, so that they can corner their prey even in a continuous canopy.[34] During an arboreal hunt, each chimp in the hunting groups has a role. "Drivers" serve to keep the prey running in a certain direction and follow them without attempting to make a catch.
"Blockers" are stationed at the bottom of the trees and will climb up to block prey that take off an a different direction. "Chasers" move quickly and try to make a catch. Finally, "ambushers" hide and position themselves where no prey had reached yet and rush out when a monkey nears.[34] Both adult and infants are taken. However, adult male black-and-white colobus monkeys will attack the hunting chimps. In Gombe, the chimpanzee also fears adult colobus monkeys.[21] It prefers to snatch infants from their mother's bellies without harming the mothers. Male chimps hunt more than females. When caught and killed, the meal is distributed to all hunting party members and even bystanders.[34]
Behavior[edit source | edit]
Group structure[edit source | edit]
Common chimpanzees live in communities that typically range from 20 to more than 150 members, but spend most of their time travelling in small, temporary groups consisting of a few individuals, "which may consist of any combination of age and sex classes."[24] Both males and females will sometimes travel alone.[24] The common chimpanzee lives in a fission-fusion society and may be found in groups of the following types: all-male, adult females and offspring, consisting of both sexes, or one female and her offspring. Chimpanzees have complex social relationships and spend a large amount of time grooming each other.[35]
At the core of social structures are males, which roam around, protect group members, and search for food. Males remain in their natal communities, while females generally emigrate at adolescence. As such, males in a community are more likely to be related to one another than females are to each other. Among males, there is generally a dominance hierarchy and males are dominant over females.[36] However, this unusual fission-fusion social structure, "in which portions of the parent group may on a regular basis separate from and then rejoin the rest,"[21] is highly variable in terms of which particular individual chimpanzees congregate at a given time. This is mainly due to chimpanzees having a high level of individual autonomy within their fission-fusion social groups. Also, communities have large ranges that overlap with those of other groups.
As a result, individual chimpanzees often forage for food alone, or in smaller groups (as opposed to the much larger "parent" group, which encompasses all the chimpanzees which regularly come into contact and congregate into parties in a particular area). As stated, these smaller groups also emerge in a variety of types, for a variety of purposes. For example, an all-male troop may be organized to hunt for meat, while a group consisting of lactating females serves to act as a "nursery group" for the young.[37] An individual may encounter certain individuals quite frequently, but have run-ins with others almost never or only in large-scale gatherings. Due to the varying frequency at which chimpanzees associate, the structure of their societies is highly complicated.
Male chimpanzees exist in a linear dominance hierarchy. Top-ranking males tend to be aggressive even during dominance stability.[38] This is likely due to the chimp's fission-fusion society, with male chimps leaving groups and returning after extended periods of time. With this, a dominant male is unsure if there has been any "political maneuvering" and must re-establish his dominance. Thus, a large amount of aggression occurs 5–15 minutes after a reunion.[38][39] During aggressive encounters, displays are preferred over attacks.[38][39]
Males maintain and improve their social ranks by forming coalitions. These coalitions have been characterized as "exploitive" and are based on an individual's influence in agonistic interactions.[40] Being in a coalition allows males to dominate a third individual when they could not by themselves, as politically apt chimps can exert power over aggressive interactions regardless of their rank. Coalitions can also give an individual male the confidence to challenge a dominant male. The more allies a male has, the better his chance of becoming dominant. However, most changes in hierarchical rank are caused by dyadic interactions.[38] Chimpanzee alliances can be very fickle and one member may turn on another if it serves him.[41]
Low ranking males commonly switch sides in disputes between more dominant individuals. Low ranking males benefit from an unstable hierarchy and have increased sexual opportunities.[40][41] In addition, conflicts between dominant males causes them to focus on each other rather than the lower ranking males. Social hierarchies among adult females tend to be weaker. Nevertheless, the status of an adult female may be important for her offspring.[42] Females in Taï have also been recorded to form alliances.[43] Social grooming appears to be important in the formation and maintenance of coalitions.[44] It is more common among adult males than adult females.
Chimpanzees have been described as highly territorial and are known to kill other chimps,[45] although Margaret Power wrote in her 1991 book The Egalitarians that the field studies from which the aggressive data came, Gombe and Mahale, use artificial feeding systems that increased aggression in the chimpanzee populations studied, so might not reflect innate characteristics of the species as a whole.[46] In the years following her artificial feeding conditions at Gombe, Jane Goodall described groups of male chimps patrolling the borders of their territory brutally attacking chimps which had split off from the Gombe group. A study published in 2010 found that the chimpanzees wage wars over land, not mates.[47] Patrol parties from smaller groups are more likely to avoid contact with their neighbors. Patrol parties from large groups will even take over a smaller group's territory, gaining access to more resources, food and females.[21][41]
Mating and parenting[edit source | edit]
Chimpanzees mate throughout the year, although the number of females in estrus varies seasonally in a group.[23][48] Female chimps are more likely to come into estrus when food is readily available. Estrous females exhibit sexual swellings. Chimp mating tends to be promiscuous, with females mating with multiple males in her community during estrus.[21] As such, males have large testicles for sperm competition. However, other forms of mating also exist. A community's dominant males sometimes restrict reproductive access to females. A male and female can form consortship and mate outside their community. In addition, females sometimes leave their communities and mate with males from neighboring communities.[21][49]
These alternative mating strategies give females more mating opportunities without losing the support of the males in their community.[49] Infanticide has been recorded in chimp communities in Gombe, Mahale, and Kibale National Parks. Male chimps practice infanticide on unrelated young to shorten the interbirth intervals in the females. There are also accounts of infanticide by females. There are questions whether cases of female infanticide are related to the dominance hierarchy in females or are simply isolated pathological behaviors.[21][42]
Care for the young is provided mostly by their mothers. The survival and emotional health of the young is dependent on maternal care.[21] Mothers provide their young with food, warmth, and protection, and teach them certain skills. In addition, a chimp's future rank may be dependent on its mother's status.[21][23] For their first 30 days, infants cling to their mother's bellies. Newborn chimps are helpless; their grasping reflex is not strong enough to support them for more than a few seconds. Infants are unable to support their own weight for their first two months and need their mothers' support.[50]
When they reach five to six months, infants ride on their mothers' backs. They remain in continual contact for the rest of their first year. When they reach two years of age, they are able to move and sit independently.[50] By three years, infants will move further away from their mothers. By four to six years, chimps are weaned and infancy ends.[50]
The juvenile period for chimps lasts from their sixth to ninth years. Juveniles remain close to their mothers, but they also have more interactions with other members of their community. Adolescent females move between groups and are supported by their mothers in agonistic encounters. Adolescent males spend time with adult males in social activities like hunting and boundary patrolling.[50]
Communication[edit source | edit]
Chimpanzees use a variety of facial expressions, postures and sounds to communicate with each other.[21] Chimps have expressive faces which are important in close-up communications. When frightened, a "full closed grin" causes nearby individuals to be fearful, as well. Other facial expressions include the "lip flip", "pout", "sneer", and "compressed-lips face".[21] When sumitting to a conspecific, a chimp will crunch, bob and extend a hand. When in an aggressive mode, a chimp will swagger bipedally, hunched over and arms waving, in an attempt to exaggerate its size.[21] Chimps will beat their hands and feet against the trunks of large tree, an act known as "drumming".[51]
Vocalizations are also important in chimp communication. The most common and important call in adults is the "pant-hoot". These calls are made when individuals are excited.[21] Pant-hoots are made of four parts, starting with soft "hoos" that get louder and louder and climax into screams and sometimes barks; the former die down to soft "hoos" again as the call ends.[51] Submissive individuals will make "pant-grunts" towards their superiors.[21][42] Chimps use distance calls to draw attention to danger, food sources or other community members.[21] "Barks" may be made as "short barks" when hunting and "tonal barks" when sighting large snakes.[51]
Tool use[edit source | edit]
Nearly all chimpanzee populations have been recorded using tools. They will modify sticks, rocks, grass, and leaves and use them when foraging for honey, termites, ants, nuts, and water. Despite the lack of complexity, there does seem to be forethought and skill in making these tools and should be considered such.[52] While it has been known since Jane Goodall's 1960s discovery that modern chimpanzees use tools, research published in 2007 indicates that chimpanzee stone tool use dates to at least 4,300 years ago.[53]
A common chimpanzee from the Kasakela chimpanzee community was the first non-human animal observed making a tool, by modifying a twig to use as an instrument for extracting termites from their mound.[54][55][56] At Taï, chimps simply use their hands to extract termites.[52] When foraging for honey, chimps will use modified short sticks to scoop the honey out of the hive, that is, if the bees are stingless. For hives of the dangerous African honeybees, chimps use longer and thinner sticks to extract the honey.[57] Chimps will also fish for ants using the same tactic.[21][52]
Ant dipping is difficult and some chimps never master it. West African chimps will crack open hard nuts with stones or branches.[23][52] There seems to be some forethought in his activity as these items are not found together or near a source of nuts. Nut cracking is also difficult and must be learned.[23] Chimps will also use leaves as sponges or spoons to drink water.[58]
A recent study revealed the use of such advanced tools as spears, which West African chimpanzees in Senegal sharpen with their teeth, being used to spear Senegal bushbabies out of small holes in trees.[59] An eastern chimpanzee has been observed using a modified branch as a tool to capture a squirrel.[60]
Chimpanzees and humans[edit source | edit]
Field study[edit source | edit]
Jane Goodall undertook the first long-term field study of the common chimpanzee, begun in Tanzania at Gombe Stream National Park in 1960. Other long-term study sites begun in 1960 include A. Kortlandt in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and Junichiro Itani in Mahale Mountains National Park in Tanzania.[61] Current understanding of the species' typical behaviors and social organization are formed largely from Goodall's ongoing 50-year Gombe research study.[46]
Genome Project[edit source | edit]
Human and common chimpanzee DNA are very similar. After the completion of the Human Genome Project, a Chimpanzee Genome Project was initiated. In December 2003, a preliminary analysis of 7600 genes shared between the two genomes confirmed that certain genes, such as the forkhead-box P2 transcription factor which is involved in speech development, have undergone rapid evolution in the human lineage. A draft version of the chimpanzee genome was published on September 1, 2005, in an article produced by the Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium.[63]
The DNA sequence differences between humans and chimpanzees is about thirty-five million single-nucleotide changes, five million insertion/deletion events, and various chromosomal rearrangements. Typical human and chimp protein homologs differ in only an average of two amino acids. About 30% of all human proteins are identical in sequence to the corresponding chimp protein. Duplications of small parts of chromosomes have been the major source of differences between human and chimp genetic material; about 2.7% of the corresponding modern genomes represent differences, produced by gene duplications or deletions, during the approximately four to six million years since humans and chimps diverged from their common evolutionary ancestor. Results from human and chimp genome analyses, currently being conducted by geneticists including David Reich, should help in understanding the genetic basis of some human diseases.
Attacks[edit source | edit]
Common chimpanzees have been known to attack humans on occasion.[64][65] There have been many attacks in Uganda by chimpanzees against human children; the results are sometimes fatal for the children. Some of these attacks are presumed to be due to chimpanzees being intoxicated (from alcohol obtained from rural brewing operations) and mistaking human children[66] for the Western red colobus, one of their favorite meals.[67] The dangers of careless human interactions with chimpanzees are only aggravated by the fact that many chimpanzees perceive humans as potential rivals.[68]
With up to five times the upper body strength of a human, an angered chimpanzee could easily overpower and potentially kill even a fully grown man, as shown by the attack on and near death of former NASCAR driver St. James Davis.[69][70] Another example of chimpanzee to human aggression occurred February 2009 in Stamford, Connecticut, when a 200-pound (91 kg), 14-year-old pet chimp named Travis attacked his owner's friend, who lost her hands, eyelids, nose and part of her upper jaw/sinus area from the attack.[71][72] There are at least six documented cases of chimpanzees snatching and eating human babies.[73]
Link with human immunodeficiency virus type 1[edit source | edit]
Two types of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infect humans: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is the more virulent and easily transmitted, and is the source of the majority of HIV infections throughout the world; HIV-2 is largely confined to west Africa.[74] Both types originated in west and central Africa, jumping from primates to humans. HIV-1 has evolved from a simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVcpz) found in the common chimpanzee subspecies, Pan troglodytes troglodytes, native to southern Cameroon.[75][76] Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has the greatest genetic diversity of HIV-1 so far discovered, suggesting the virus has been there longer than anywhere else. HIV-2 crossed species from a different strain of SIV, found in the sooty mangabey monkeys in Guinea-Bissau.[74]
Status and conservation[edit source | edit]
Chimpanzee are a legally protected species in most of their range and can be found both in and outside national parks.[2] There is thought to between 172,700 to 299,700 individuals living in the wild.[2]
The biggest threats to the common chimpanzee are habitat destruction, poaching and disease.[2] Chimpanzee habitats have been limited by deforestation in both West and Central Africa. Road building has caused habitat degradation and fragmentation of chimpanzee populations and may allow poachers more access to areas that have not been seriously impacted by humans.[2] While deforestation rates are low in western Central Africa, selective logging may be done outside national parks.[2]
Chimpanzee are a common target for poachers. In Côte d'Ivoire, chimpanzees make up 1–3% of bushmeat sold in urban markets.[2] They are also taken in pet trades despite it being illegal in many countries where they live.[2] Chimpanzees are also hunted for medicinal purposes in some areas.[2] Capturing chimpanzees for scientific research is still allowed in some countries, such as Guinea.[2] People will kill any chimpanzee that threatens their crops.[2] Chimps may also be unintentionally maimed or killed by snares meant for other animals.
Infectious diseases are a main cause of death for chimpanzees. Chimpanzees succumb to many diseases that afflict humans since the two species are so similar.[2] As human populations grow, so does the risk of disease transmission between humans and chimpanzees.[2]

Knicks-Bobcats: What to Watch For
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOfbRzg4bQ4]If the Knicks win this game, they'll play Miami in the first round of the playoffs. If they lose and Philadelphia beats Detroit, the Knicks will play the Bulls in the first round. Obviously, I'd much rather play Chicago, but I don't think the Knicks lose tonight to the Bobcats.
Also, Dan Gadzuric's wife is pretty hot.
… and thats about all I have to say about this game.
Go Knicks!

Gartner weighs in on the issue of Flash vs. HTML5
Check out this interesting post by Gartner's Ray Valdes, HTML5 and the future of Adobe Flash. Our favorite part:
Lastly, the average enterprise won't effectively use Flash or HTML5 or any other shiny new UI technology. Because the root problem as I see it is not lack of powerful UI technology. Instead, the root causes for sub-optimal user experience have to do with lack of appropriate process, and governance, and lack of a genuine commitment to a quality user experience. Such a commitment would lead organizations to adopt a user-centered usability-oriented development process. Rather than taking these steps, we see a lot of projects that are "stakeholder driven" (i.e., driven by internal politics). Very few organizations center development around user needs by relying on objectively measured data about user behavior. Most enterprises don't care enough about the user experience to change their habits (developer-driven, vendor-driven, stakeholder-driven). The principles of creating effective user experiences are well-known among successful external-facing ecommerce or consumer sites such as Amazon, Ebay, Expedia or Facebook. Unfortunately, it will likely be a long time before these principles become part of the average enterprise skillset.

Really very good information web page. I have to admit that we're definitely warm the idea ;) We've only this instant opted in for your current Rss in addition i restarted yet again :*) thankx.

I agree with your analysis and credit your insight in identifying the root of the problem. I would like to take it further.
As designers we can work on the root problem. If the root problem is a stakeholder driven design for example, then we can as the question "what can we as designer do to solve this problem." We, designers, are in the business of persuading people to spend money on things. Why can we not use our skills to persuade our bosses to spend money on user centered design? We can make information diagrams explaining the problem, ROI estimates. Generate A/B testing strategies that demonstrate the results of a user centered design decision and prove it with click counts.
The bigger question I have to wonder about is how we as designers could have failed so badly at this. Are we not persuasive enough? did we not understand our audience? did we need more pictures in our appeal? is the argument inherently week and we need to get a big picture to see it? The sad truth is that if someone came to me with this problem and asked me how to change the situation, I'd probably recommend a Business management professional to discover the problem details working with a graphic designer to sell the idea internally.
Demonstrating the direct impact good UX has on a company is difficult but not impossible.
If it could be demonstrated it would show that creating an Amazon or eBay clone does not automatically replicate that company's commitment to the user experience.
I was complaining on Twitter the other day about all the e-commerce sites out there with copy-and-paste product descriptions and photos that are quite obviously copy-and-paste jobs. Badly formatted, truncated, low-quality photos where the "large version" is the same size as the thumbnail. The user experience is not just in the UI, it's in everything about how you conduct your business and interface with customers.
But with so many economic, financial, leadership and cultural vectors going into differentiating successful and liked companies from mediocre ones many businesses won't notice the UX factor and thus continue to make the same mistakes, relegating UX to some backroom checklist role.
We do - although that's because we're moving more and more into web applications, and html5 is helping us design better, faster apps.

Phoronix: The Wayland Situation: Facts About X vs. Wayland
With the continued speculation and FUD about the future of Wayland at a time when Canonical is investing heavily into their own Mir Display Server alternative, Eric Griffith and Daniel Stone have written an article for Phoronix where they lay out all the facts. The "Wayland Situation" is explained with first going over the failings of X, the fixings of Wayland, common misconceptions about X and Wayland, and then a few other advantages to Wayland. For anyone interested in X/Wayland or the Linux desktop at a technical level, it's an article certainly worth reading!
Quite impressive!
Could you explain how X and Wayland use the graphic card? I mean... in the article you say that Wayland receive buffers and how to display them.
What sort of information will Wayland receive to display the buffers: For hybrid graphics, who says which graphic card has to be used? Will be a sort of native Optimus (use the dedicated card if the integrated is busy, or sorts) ?
Question 1:
I assume you'll need nVidia and Intel updating their drivers for Wayland. Are there any news on the subject? Last time I heard no hardware vendor planned any Wayland related work.
Don't have a lot of time at the moment so I'm gonna skip over the first question (for now). As to the Optimus question... Multiple GPU's are, unfortunately, a client problem. Its not necessarily FAIR for them to have to do all the heaving lifting in that regard, but they best know what to do and how much power they are going to take.
By "Client" it could mean a few things. For example, the driver could decide based upon load-- which I personally dont think is the best way. OR the method I prefer... If you code your app in GTK+, EFL, or Qt, I think those toolkits should provide a window-hint or similar interface where applications can register "I would like to be run on the $powersave GPU" or "I would like to be run on the $performance GPU."
As I touched upon in the article... Wayland is meant to be the most minimal way to do things possible, its not supposed to do the heavy lifting because since Wayland 1.0 its promised at minimum API compatibility (i think ABI is guaranteed through major versions, but I'd have to double check that). So the more things we load it up with, such as deciding what GPU to be run on, those are things we are FORCED to keep around basically forever so if we get it wrong...we're screwed.
EDIT: granted the entire protocol IS versioned, so we wouldn't be -completely- screwed, but its still legacy cruft we'd have to drag around. And do we really want that?
Last edited by Ericg; 06-07-2013 at 01:20 PM.
Mir, Wayland and SurfaceFlinger all have a requirement on an EGL driver. That being said, there is one non-standard extension to EGL that Wayland does want / require. As long as Intel, nVidia, and AMD all have an EGL stack they-- to my knowledge-- should work just fine across all three. With the small exception of: wayland wants an extra non-standard extension. I think its buffer_age but I'd have to double check that as well.
In layman terms - are their drivers set to be ready to work with Wayland today? In a year?
On the subject, some EGL news
Last edited by Bucic; 06-07-2013 at 01:32 PM.
Question for everyone else: Would you guys be interested in a systemd / SysV / Upstart comparison as well? I was toying around with the idea in my head, hadn't made up my mind yet.
With the advent of Steam for Linux and the non-stop news about upcoming games for it, I'd like to ask a question which might be interesting for all the "gamers" using Linux: Does Wayland have any direct impact on playing games on Linux, like for example input lag (which people seem to complain about), performance improvements, gamepad support and so on? Or will there be next to no difference from the current situation?
Open source drivers should all be gold on Wayland-- I know Intel is because that's what is in my laptop.
AMD and nVidia... We're gonna have to wait and see how they want to play. If they want to say "Screw Wayland! Go mir!" They could, they'd have to explicitly refuse to support the EGL extension that Wayland requires. But at the same time, Wayland might be able to work around that missing extension should that day come to pass.
Ideally, in a year, the open source Radeon and Intel graphics should be basically up to par with their Windows brethren (maybe not OpenGL compliance, but hopefully power management for Radeon) and we therefore wouldn't NEED them to expressly support Wayland. nVidia is in an interesting position though with how crappy (in comparison) Nouveau is.

As of 2 p.m. Monday, fire officials said the blaze near Pigeon Forge was contained, but not controlled, and has been decreased in size by about 50 percent, WBIR-TV, Knoxville, Tenn., reported.
The fire, which started Sunday at about 4 p.m., has affected about 160 acres, destroying 59 resort cabins and damaging 16 others, Sevier County Mayor Larry Waters said.
The Black Hawk helicopters from the Tennessee Air National Guard were sent to the scene at about 7 a.m. Monday to drop water on the flames, the Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel reported.
"They'll go to Douglas Lake and dip water with those buckets and drop it on the fire," Perrin Anderson, spokesman for Sevier County, said Monday morning.
Anderson said about 150 people voluntarily evacuated from the area and there have been no reports of injuries.
WATE-TV, Knoxville, Tenn., reported that 25 fire departments were working the fire.
Pigeon Forge is a resort area near Smoky Mountain National Park.

Hi Guys/Gals
I found out that my stepfather through a bottle of whiskey at me mother and just missed her.
That's all, ENOUGH! I said to myself he's going. I'm going to shoot him to pieces and make him suffer and bleed.
It was surly going to happen and GOD is my witness that night.
I took my 9mm Beretta and went to the bar Mom and he owned.
I walked into the bathroom to get nice and calm. It was a very small bathroom about 7 to 8 ft. long and about 4ft. wide. As you entered the bathroom to your right was a small sink with a mirror over it.
As you stood facing the mirror and turned your head to the left was
the commode and that was it, nothing fancy just simple. (sink,mirror and toilet).
The thoughts of what I was going to do to him ran through my mind.
I had such calming RAGE. I was in complete control of my emotions. Knowing full well what I was going to do. (my body was thrill of the doing of this act, I was enlighten sore of. Never felt like that before. Joy that I was going to destroy him) Strange.
I first would go in front of him and shoot him in both his arms ( for hitting my Mother and me)
Next, shoot both his kneecaps (so he would now kneel before me)
And when he pleaded to me ( I would finally put one in his head )
I was so determined. It was going to be done.
Everytime I see the Godfater film and see Michael in the bathroom in the restaurant. He looking on top the the toilet for the planted gun.
I think of what I was so eager to do that night.
Now here's were GOD comes in to the picture. Once more let me say as SURE as I'm writting this posting, the old man was going. I was going to shoot him to pieces.
But gang listen to what a GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR MY LORD AND SAVIOR HAS GOT.
I took my automatic 9mm out of my waistband and cock it.
As I put the gun back into my waistband; IT WHEN OFF ! BANG!
It was as if an EXPLOSION happened inside that tiny bathroom.
The bullet just missed my manhood (Do you believe that I would have shot my best friend . . . lol its the GOD'S honest truth)
The bullit went right through my pants leg missing the toilet and enter into the woodgain panelling. Someone knocked on the door and said, " Ray are you allright."
I replied YEAH MY F--KING GUN JUST WHEN OFF !
Immediatly, a voice in my head was said, you're going to prison for murder. For what! Him. No walk out, go home.
My stepfather never said anything about that night and that bullet was never taken out of the woodgain panelling.
I'm so grateful that " HE " INTERVEINED AND SAVED ME.
That's only one of the situation in my life that JESUS SAVED ME.
NOTE: I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YRS. I HAD IN A.A. AT THE TIME. I WAS ABSOULETY SOBER AT THE TIME. (talk about a DRY DRUNK)
Today i'm in my 32yr. of continous sobriety; ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND THE ROOMS OF A.A.

Spanx was started by Sara Blakely who finally grew tired of unsightly panty lines and clothes that looked less than runway perfect on her body. Blakely innovated the Spanx collection- a shapewear and controlwear line that smooths the figure, eliminates lines, and immediately streamlines the body. While it originated with footless pantyhose, Spanx has grown to produce many top sellers such as the Spanx Super Power Shaper and the Spanx Slim-Cognito Smoother. Spanx has been applauded by Oprah and now carries a huge celebrity following!

Project Jackson is heading to the top of the ninth inning as only one more vote is needed from Aiken County Council to defer several million dollars in property tax revenue that would help fund the endeavor.
County Council voted 6 to 3 for an extension of the North Augusta Tax Increment Financing plan, often referred to as the TIF, to help pay for the construction of a multi-use sports and entertainment venue, conference center and parking structures at the river front. Council members Kathy Rawls, Phil Napier and Willar Hightower voted against the motion.
The final reading will tentatively be held on Sept. 17 at the next regular Council meeting.
Before the vote was made, Councilman Phil Napier moved that the item be turned over to the voters in the form of a referendum. The motion was turned down with only Napier and Hightower supporting it.
On top of approximately $8 million generated from the County's participation in the current TIF, which expires in 2017, another $16.5 million will be deferred in property taxes of the 460-acre district for 30 years if it gets final approval.
Dozens of residents, potential investors and public figures spoke for and against the project during the intense two-and-half-hour public hearing. Traffic concerns, financing, environmental impacts, questions of job creation and calling for a referendum to let residents vote on the project were just a few of the many issues brought up during the meeting.
In one case, a resident reading his speech against the project ran out of time during the three-minute time limit set for each speaker, so another resident stood up and read the rest of his written speech for him.
People booed, cheered and called out both pro- and anti-project comments throughout the night.
Resident Mike Stake said he believes in economics, business and growth but said TIFs across the country have been abused in other states.
"Do it as a private individual," Stake said about funding the project. "If you wish to be an investor, put as much into it as you want but don't sign the County into it."
Tom Greene, the chairman of North Augusta 2000 and former city mayor, urged Council to approve the TIF extension. He said if it doesn't pass, Project Jackson fails, and North Augusta will continue a path towards becoming an "aging city."
"Our children will graduate high school or college and leave North Augusta," Greene said.
Once it got to Council, there were a mix of opinions across the board.
Councilwoman Kathy Rawls said that the private and public investor ratio is unacceptable. She cited a total of $75.8 million in TIF funds from the County, School District and North Augusta combined going into a project with approximately $101 million in private investments.
"Employees' salaries have been on hold for six years without keeping up with cost of living increases, ambulances are falling apart, other vehicles need replacing, equipment needs replacing and et cetera," Rawls said. "If we vote to extend this TIF another 30 years, we are selling out our county and selling out our employees."
Councilman Willar Hightower said that he didn't feel that the area in question was entirely "blighted," which is required under TIF law. He added that if Council is going to agree to an extension, he'd feel more comfortable with 15 years than three decades.
Councilman Scott Singer said that in all his years in Council, he turned down each TIF that came across the agenda because he didn't feel they were good economic deals. But he said he doesn't feel that Project Jackson is a bad economic deal.
Councilwoman Lawana McKenzie said that the issue at hand has many different points of view, and she hopes to make a final decision that will best represent the people in her district. She said the creations of jobs, even minimum wage positions, would be better than no job at all for many people. McKenzie said that, like with any project, it may come with a few problems but the pros and cons must be weighed out.
"I wish my district had the problem you've got tonight," McKenzie said to the audience.
