Chimp from 1930s US 'Tarzan' films dead at 80
http://movies.yahoo.com/news/chimp-1930s-us-tarzan-films-dead-80-093119035.html

Cheetah, a chimpanzee said to have performed in the "Tarzan" films of the 1930s, has died at the age of 80, according to the Florida sanctuary where he lived.
Cheetah was said to have performed in "Tarzan the Ape Man"
(1932) and "Tarzan and His Mate" (1934), classic films about a man reared in the
jungle starring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan.
The average life span of a wild chimpanzee is around 45 years.
Several chimpanzees were used in the filming of the "Tarzan" movies and
subsequent films, during a period when the primates were widely used in
Hollywood and often mistreated.
"It is with great sadness that the community has lost a dear friend and family member on December 24, 2011," the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor, Florida announced on its website.

The chimpanzee — who arrived at the sanctuary in 1960 — loved finger-painting and watching football, and was soothed by Christian music, the sanctuary’s outreach director Debbie Cobb told the Tampa Tribune.

Questions About Evolution
- 1- how did other animals such as snakes evolve and
their venom got created?
Snakes evolved from lizards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake#Evolu… Early snakes started out with digestive enzymes in their saliva, and some lines of snakes evolved such that those enzymes became more venomous to their prey.
2-how can creatures that didnt have eyes evolve into creatures that have eyes?
Some proteins can change configurations in response to light. If the changed configuration affects a signalling pathway in a nerve cell (either directly or because of signalling between the cell with the protein and the nerve cell) then the light will cause the nerve to fire an action potential. This could affect behavior of the organism in any number of ways. If the ways were beneficial, then the setup would be selected and improved on by natural selection. Groups of such cells near the skin would indicate the presence of light and its direction. By recessing those cells into a cup the directionality of the light could be made more evident. When (due to further selected mutations) the cup became more recessed and the opening closed to a pinhole, then crude images would be formed on the light sensitive cells. Clear cells for a lens and cornea would add clarity to the image. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plants#Evol…
> 3-how did trees and plants got created?
They evolved from green algae. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plants#Evol…
> 4 how do you know what happene 2 to 100 milion years ago?
Fossils and the patterns of genetic similarities in living species.
> 5- why is it that we have always to evolve rather than stay the same? and is ther any proof that the people that existed 800 years ago are different than the people now?
There could be stabilizing selection, which keeps certain characteristics from evolving. And people would be unlikely to have changed in noticeable ways in just 800 years.
> 6-how did apes evolve from bacteria?
By a long serious of small steps. - 22 hours ago

1. Toxins
and venoms are produced in a wide range of ways but they are chemicals produced
by the cells. There are cells in our body that secrete enzymes or hormones or
chemicals Like the strong acid in our stomachs, or the deadly toxins produced
by plants (which are often a lot more deadly than animals). We have lots of
pathways in our body that produces chemicals which are controlled by genes. If
there is a mutation that causes a new chemical to be produced which is more
effective than others produced by members in the same species, it will kill
more prey, eat more and be healthier and produce more offspring with the same
genes and they will pass it on...over time further mutations which may produce
even more deadly toxins.
2. Even single celled protists have an "eye spot" which are photosensitive and react to to light intensity. It is advantageous for cells or organisms to have photosensitive cells as light is often a vital part of the life, in that they are move towards it or move away from it. Even plants have cells and chemicals that are affected by light.
Those that had mutations that had changes which made their eyes or protoeyes more effective in that they can see better so they can react better then they would be more advantageous and have more offspring with those features and it would increase in the populations over time until they all have it.
3. long and complicated, but they have cells, different to animals, but there are still single celled phytoplankton which have chloroplasts which allow photosynthesis and provide food for the organism. In the same way animals evolved into multicellular animals from a single cell, that simple organisms with less cells than larger ones evolved first then over time more and more complex cells evolved.
4. This is not that long in geological terms but you can look at the rocks, the type of rock tells from an area can tell you a lot. You can look at the type of rock, eg sandstone (beach or desert), limestone (under the water), mudstone, coal (plant material), etc. You can see the pollen in the soil and fossils eg in the UK there is a lot of palm pollen, so it was a lot warmer in climate in the past than it is now, or you can see if there was grass pollen, pine, or whatever.
Then you can look at the fossils that lived in the area and put it all together. Fossils can be bones or amber or fossilied faeces (to see what animals ate) or footprints or shells or whatever.
You can see what happened to rocks eg water erosion might mean a river was in the area, uplift (mountain building) and erosion. The geology tells us what happened to the landscape
When you put it all together you get a reasonably good picture of what happened a while ago.
5. We KNOW that the past has changed, so we must be changing as well. We evolve because if we don't we would die. No change means less likely to survive any changes that occur.
6. well kind of in the same way, you, me and everyone else has already come from one cell to who you are today. Some people think that if you go back in time from an adult to a single cell, which is why the embryos of birds and fish and reptiles and mammals look the same as an embyro and even more so in the earliest developments after the zygote. A cell divides. Sometimes it stays close to its sister cell, kind of like conjoined twins. They stay together and grow together.
It is a pretty long and complex process.

English Laundermat
Because my apartment doesn't have a washer and dryer, I go once a week to a laundromat down the street. Throughout the week, I throw my dirty clothes in a clothes hamper in my room, and then haul that down to the laundromat. Because the place has coin-operated machines, I have to make sure I have plenty of change. I separate the whites from the darks and wash them in separate machines---unless I want pink dress shirts. This happened when I accidently washed my dress shirts with my sister's pink shirts. Not a good idea at all. I add the right amount of laundry detergent and bleach as needed, with a little fabric softener. After the wash is finished, I put the clothes in a dryer. While the washer and dryer are going, I usually read a book or magazine to pass the time. When the clothes are done drying, I fold them---usually---and then take the finished laundry home. Finally, I put my clothes away in my dresser or closet. Washing and drying clothes isn't the most exciting chore, but it has to be done.

Nine Month Pregnant woman delivers a baby after 26.2 mile marathon run in Chicago
A woman from suburban Chicago participated in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Sunday, grabbed some late lunch, then went to the hospital and gave birth to her daughter. Yes, that makes your lazy Sunday 10 times lazier in comparison.
The Chicago Tribune reports that Amber Miller, who was nearly 39 weeks pregnant, got the OK from her doctor to run half of the 26.2-mile event that winds through the neighborhoods of Chicago. With her husband at her side, she ran the first half and then walked the second half, finishing the marathon with a time of 6:25.
Miller said that she did experience contractions near the end of the run, but still was able to cross the finish line. Marathon officials were supportive, and no one discouraged her from running.

Frozen food advice
Myth: You can freeze all foods.
While it’s true most edibles freeze under the right conditions, there are some that should never see the inside of your freezer. Delicate vegetables like lettuce practically disintegrate when they’re frozen then thawed. Creamy sauces that are frozen separate and “break” or curdle when thawed. Even coffee shouldn’t be stored in the freezer—especially dark roasts. The oils that make them so special break down in freezing temperatures, allowing the coffee to readily absorb off- flavors. The USDA also advises not to freeze canned goods or eggs in their shell. (But you can freeze canned goods if they are removed from their original packaging, as well as eggs as long as they are removed from their shell.)

American Heritage Governor Wallace and Black Admission to University of Alabama
June 12, 1963
Alabama Admits Negro Students;
Wallace Bows to Federal Force;
Kennedy Sees 'Moral Crisis' in U.S.
Governor Leaves
But Fulfills Promises
to Stand in Door and
to Avoid Violence USCALOOSA, Ala., June 11 -- Gov. George C. Wallace stepped aside today when confronted by federalized National Guard troops and permitted two Negroes to enroll in the University of Alabama. There was no violence.
The Governor, flanked by state troopers, had staged a carefully planned show of defying a Federal Court desegregation order.
Mr. Wallace refused four requests this morning from a Justice Department official that he allow Miss Vivian Malone and James A. Hood, both 20 years old, to enter Foster Auditorium and register.
This was in keeping with a campaign pledge that he would ``stand in the schoolhouse door'' to prevent a resumption of desegregation in Alabama's educational system

Andy Rooney of 60-Minitues of CBS Says Goodbye
Andrew Aitken "Andy" Rooney (born January 14, 1919) is an American radio and television writer. He is most notable for his weekly broadcast "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney", a part of the CBS News program 60 Minutes from 1978 to 2011. His final regular appearance on 60 Minutes aired October 2, 2011.
“Not many people in the world are as lucky as I am,” said Rooney, 92, to open his final commentary on Sunday. He called it lucky to be able to earn a nice living doing what he loved to do, which is writing. “I don’t think of myself as a television personality,” he said. “I’m a writer who reads what he has written.”
