NIH should embrace alternative research models such as genetically altered mice, according to a new agency working group report. [© Helen Fassenfelt - Fotolia.com]
All but 50 of the roughly 451 chimpanzees owned or supported by NIH and housed in research facilities nationwide should be retired and moved to the federal sanctuary system over the next three to five years, according to recommendations released yesterday by an agency working group.
The group also said NIH should retain in a single colony approximately 50 chimps for future potential research on "new, emerging, and reemerging diseases." That research should be carried out "only under stringent conditions," as called for in December 2011 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and National Research Council of the National Academies.
"Planning should start immediately to expand current facilities to accommodate these chimpanzees," the nine-member Working Group on the Use of Chimpanzees in NIH-Supported Research stated in a report. "The size and placement of this colony should be reassessed on a frequent basis (approximately every five years) to ensure that such a colony is still actually needed and that the animals are not overused."
NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., will make the final decision on approving the recommendations from the working group following a 60-day comment period.
The working group was formed by NIH's Council of Councils to advise the agency on how to implement changes to policies allowing chimpanzees in biomedical research as recommended by IOM. An IOM 12-member ad hoc committee concluded that "most current use of chimpanzees for biomedical research is unnecessary," and predicted a future of "decreasing scientific need for chimpanzee studies due to the emergence of non-chimpanzee models and technologies."
Of the working group's 28 recommendations, 10 covered the physical and social environment of chimps, nine addressed the size and placement of chimp populations, and nine, the establishment of an independent oversight committee and review process to consider "whether the potential future use of chimpanzees in NIH-supported research is scientifically necessary and consistent with the IOM principles."
The working group called for chimps to be housed in "multi-male, multi-female social groupings, ideally consisting of at least seven individuals" occupying at least 1,000 square feet (93 square meters) per chimp.
According to the group, chimp housing must provide year-round outdoor access, with enough room to climb at least 20 feet (6.1 meters) vertically, as well as foraging opportunities and diets that are varied, nutritious, and challenging to obtain and process. Resident chimps, according to the group, must be provided with materials to construct new nests daily, as well as an environmental enrichment program with opportunities for choice and self-determination.
Planning should begin now, the group continued, to ensure that "ethologically appropriate" physical and social housing options become available within three to five years: "Maintaining the chimpanzee colony at a single facility could be advantageous to minimize costs and maximize management flexibility."
The working group urged NIH to target research funding for low-impact projects in nontraditional research settings maintaining "ethologically appropriate environments," as well as for projects using materials collected during routine veterinary exams—but not keep chimps retained for disease studies in animal biosafety level 2 or greater biocontainment facilities.
"Investigators seeking NIH funding to conduct research using chimpanzees must explain in their application how their proposed research complies with the IOM principles and criteria," and must justify their animal numbers and group sizes, the report continued.
NIH should embrace alternative research models such as genetically altered mice—and perhaps most importantly, should create an oversight committee independent of agency officials to review "all requests for grants, contracts, intramural projects, and third-party projects," as well as advise the agency on future proposed use of chimpanzees in research.

Reject aid for Sandy until pork is removed
Our "representatives" should vote down the $51 billion package of aid until all the pork is taken out of it. I understand that the people who suffered from Hurricane Sandy need help now; it is long overdue. But someone has to have some common sense to see that half of the $51 billion is pure pork – help for fisheries, etc. It would be great if we could help out any and every need. But when you are working with a deficit budget, cuts have to be made. Let's start the sad process now. It is not going to disappear without action!
What ever happened to the transparency that was promised? If the aid does not directly effect the people hurt by Sandy – emergency and recovery help – vote it down. Needless to say, we are in a vast cavern (deep hole doesn't describe it anymore) with our deficit and trillions in debt. How can anyone approve a package where there are hidden items? This has to stop. Take on the phrase "What you see, is what you get," when voting on any proposals.
Wake up! We are going downhill fast. We need to contact our representatives and tell them to do something now that will start to lower the debt. We cannot keep adding to it. We will all have to tighten our budgets. As it is now, it will go into our grandchildren's lifetime. How sad is that?

Alessi are the worldwide leader in designer tableware, kitchenware and home accessories. Read more.
Alessi filter through thousands of product design proposals every year and they spend time choose the best ones and even longer in the development stage to ensure everything is perfect. Sometimes a product can be in development typically for 1-2 years but sometimes it has been know to be up to 9 years for certain designs that are more complex. To assess the products which are chosen they work on a formula based on 4 things functionality, price, communication and what does the product say about me if I own it as a customer and to what guests may say about it if they visit your house.
In today's throwaway society there are few products with a shelf life of 20 years never mind 90 years which is why there designs are timeless and considered classics. The products are not developed to make money, they are released to express the idea of the designer and to create emotion in the person that buys the product, uses it or looks at it.
The Alessi owner Alberto does not consider the Alessi design headquarters to be a normal factory but an applied research laboratory harnessing the ideas of the best designers pushing the boundaries of materials such as stainless steel, thermoplastic and glass. Some products are so extraordinary no other manufacturer would attempt them and it is a high risk strategy but one they often get right. For example the idea behind the Melodic kettle by Richard Sapper was to create a harmonious noise when boiled and not a screeching sound like a standard hob kettle. It took 3 years of research to bring the kettle in to production because it s dome shape and the whistle took a full 12 months to get the notes to sound right including roping in a saxophone company for there expertise. The sound could not be created and the kettle was not going to be made until the researchers found an artisan in the black forest who made tuning pipes thus the right notes were created and the kettle became a huge success.
With so many hits sometimes designs can become a miss including the Alessi Hot Bertaa kettle by Philippe Starck the steam it produced ended up coming through the handle and it getting too hot to hold despite 5 years of research and development. Alessi don't mind the risk though as it shows that it is on the borderline of what is possible and what is not. The product was never released but as a miniature collectable.
There extensive products range includes 1000s of designs massively extended there range to bathroom accessories, phones, watches, home accessories, tableware and kitchenware. Designs 55 are product to be an Alessi UK stockist and we have most of the range available to purchase in our online store Take alook at our Alessi sale with free UK delivery.

If you are the owner of a hotel, or your authorize you to maintain the cleanliness of the hotel, then this piece of information will be very useful for you.
Housekeeping in hotel industry is a very vast department. You need to clean rooms after every check out and prepare the room in a very short span of time before every check in.
No housekeeping is complete without vacuum cleaning and so vacuum cleaning becomes a very important and essential part of the hotel industry housekeeping.
Where can handheld vacuum cleaner help?
There are numerous areas and all of them different form each other in the hotel interior, where a handheld vacuum cleaner can help.
- The staircase carpets: A hotel always uses big and beautiful carpets to adorn the interiors. This is so because they add to the aesthetic beauty of the hotel. The stair cases are generally covered with the heavy carpets. And if by chance you happen to use a light colored carpet, the vacuum cleaning becomes all the more important. Moreover the staircases are the most used area in the common area of the hotel. The footfall is vast and every visitor leaves his share of shoe dust on the carpet. This is where the handheld vacuum cleaner comes to the quick service. The handheld vacuum cleaner does not create a barrier on the stair case and therefore there is minimal disturbance to the visitors even when the cleaning is going on.
- The lobby carpets/common area carpets: The carpets on the welcome area need to be very fresh all the time. So they need to be vacuum cleaner very frequently so as to make sure none of your visitors finds a housekeeping fault in your hotel. The handheld vacuum cleaners are best equipment for this because of the benefits of their light weight and small size features.
- The room floor mats and carpets: Every visitor leaves a lot of mess in the room at the time of the check out. And when you have an immediate check in after a check out, you cannot think about dragging a big vacuum cleaner in the hotel room. So handheld vacuum cleaner becomes very handy at such moments. The next visitor will love the very fresh and clean carpets and mats of the room.
- The couch: The dirtiest part of a room in the hotel is the couch area. You cannot wash it or replace its cover after every check out. There are remaining parts of eatables, the hair or messed up tissues left on the couch. This can be cleaned in few minutes if you make use of handheld vacuum cleaner for this purpose.
- The wet spills: Any kind of wet spill on the floor can be easily cleared with the help of a handheld vacuum cleaner. The handheld vacuum cleaner is much more handy and quicker than the mop and broom system.
How to make best use of handheld vacuum cleaner?
The vacuum cleaner is the best used if you teach the users about its features and user manual of the equipment. The vacuum cleaner must be cleaned after every usage. The waste bag must be cleaned immediately after the use because otherwise the equipment may start to stink. The big sized obstacles should not be vacuumed by the handheld vacuum cleaner because this may destruct the working of the vacuum cleaner. Use of liquid cleaner must be used to get away with the hard and tough stains of food sauces lipsticks or anything else on the couch, carpet or the floor.
To conclude, we can say that vacuum cleaner is very necessary equipment for the hotel industry (Not only in a hotel but in your house, make it more comfortable with handheld vacuum cleaner).
If you make the right use of it, you can delight the visitors beyond expectations.

CHESTER - Despite its pristine reputation, the city of Chester is home to some properties that City Council members would be embarrassed to call home.
One of them is the house at 120 Church Alley.
City officials say the residence typifies the problem the city is having with unkempt properties - properties full of old cars, children's toys and assorted junk.

But the homeowner, Christopher J. Graham, believes he's being unfairly singled out because of past conflicts with the city.
"Look at the vacant, condemned houses (in Chester). By far, mine is nowhere near the top 10," Graham said. "I believe mine is pretty clean by comparison."
For the second time in five months, Graham, 37, has appeared before Chester Municipal Court Judge Curtis Parkins on a complaint of failing to maintain his property - an alleged violation of City Ordinance 286.
In September, he pleaded guilty and was fined $100. This week, he pleaded not guilty and, after a finding of guilt by Parkins, was sentenced to three days in jail and fined $122.
Graham is appealing the verdict to Hancock County Circuit Court, saying he was blindsided by city officials who showed up on his doorstep Wednesday night.
"They told me, 'You need to be in court tomorrow morning,' " he said.
Graham, owner of Affordable Construction, said he assumed he was in good standing with the city after cleaning up his property following the September case.
"I agreed with them at the time. I had not accumulated anything else since that date," he said, noting that some of the items on his property are from his contracting business.
But 2nd Ward Councilman John Woodruff, who lives just a few doors down from Graham, said Graham's home has been the subject of more than 20 complaints from city residents.
"It's not just neighbors," Woodruff said. "There are people in the Upper End who will drive by and say, 'Can't you do something about that?' "
Unmaintained properties are a frequent topic of discussion at Chester City Council meetings, with councilmen expressing frustration at the city's seeming inability to enforce compliance with city codes.
Mayor Ken Morris said the city usually sends a warning letter to a derelict homeowner first and then, if the problem persists, follows that up with a formal complaint.
Woodruff said Chester can't get money from the state to pay for home demolitions because it is an incorporated city.
Regardless, Morris said the Graham case signifies the city's desire and intention to pursue homeowners more aggressively.
"It's just time we crack down on the people who keep piling cars and junk up in their yard," he said. "We're not going to drop it. We're going to start pursuing these people and getting them to clean it up."
Also this week, Parkins paid a visit to a resident in Ward 1 whose "place looks like a dump" and gave him two weeks to clean it up, Woodruff said. A resident who lives on Alley O was given until March 28, Woodruff said.
"It's a death trap for kids," he said.
Woodruff said he's lived in Chester all his life and can't remember such a problem with unmaintained homes. "This is a nice little alley. Everybody kept their places nice," he said.

The plan was simple, the execution nearly perfect. The result was her best effort in the race.
Lakota senior Cariss Reese wove her way though the 300-plus crowd Saturday, finishing 12th in 20:01.99 in the Tiffin Cross Country Carnival's Division III race.
"She had a great race," coach Don Windom said.
"It's the best she's ever done, it's the best time she's ever had at the Carnival. I thought she ran a solid race," he said. "We talked about staying out of trouble; she stayed out of trouble. We talked about certain places on the course to move through; she moved through. She set herself up and had a nice finish. She got all she could and it was a great race. We're all smiling."
That included the senior, who said that along with Windom's instructions, she did her best to not let running with some of the state's best Division III runners in one of the nation's premier high school meets affect her.
"I was trying not to psyche myself out, so all week I was trying not to think too much about it. I was just thinking about getting out in a decent pace and then trying not to settle," she said. "I wanted to be able to surge in random parts so I could either pass people or stay in front of people or make my time better.
"The main thing was just, try to run faster. So I feel like it was pretty close to what I wanted," Reese said.
About the only goal Windom said his senior didn't accomplish was getting below the 20-minute mark, but making up for getting edged out by friend and rival Olivia Smith of Calvert for the runner-up spot at last week's Bucyrus Invitational was a great consolation, he said.
Smith, the two-time defending state track champion in the 800, finished 25th in Saturday's Carnival race after nipping Reese by four-tenths of a second at the end of last week's race.
"That's just huge for her psyche. Cariss and Olivia are just great friends, and last week they ran together the whole way and Cariss is pushing and Olivia beats her in the last 20 meters, and afterwards, they're good friends," Windom said.
"She knows that Olivia has all kinds of speed, and if she's ever going to beat Olivia, it's going to be in the middle of the race and not at the end. Actually, in a race like this, it's kind of good because you get lost. I think if Olivia saw Cariss, she probably would have run with her and beat her at the end," he said, laughing.
Despite falling to her rival en route to finishing 25th in 20:28.67, Smith said she enjoyed her final Carnival run.
She's certainly had put in the time, having run in it in one form or another since her youngest days of school.
"It was fun, just like all the other runs. I've been running here since I was in kindergarten, first grade. Every single year you look forward to it, it's really fun," she said. "It's a very exciting weekend, one of my favorite weekends of the year.
"I thought I ran pretty good. This is a tough course, 25th is pretty good. I got a pretty good time, so I'm pretty happy about it," she said.
While the pair led the local individuals, Mohawk had the best team finish, ending 14th (440) in the 46-squad race.
Freshman Shauna Leeth ran 68th (21:22.64) for Mohawk and classmate McKenzie Richardson took 81st (21:37.5).
Juniors Kayla Risner (22:09.21) and Haley Leeth (22:10.38) ran 96th and 97th, and freshman Beth Dundore ended 102nd (22:17.17).
Coach Brock Cleveland said the Carnival was a big jump in competition for his his Warriors, especially the younger ones.
"Our goal was top 10, but there's obviously some really good teams, so I'm pretty happy. There were some teams we were shooting for and we were able to beat them. I think as far as our regional is concerned, there were two teams from our regional that beat us. So we're in really good shape right now," he said. "A couple people have a little better race that's obviously going to improve it. Especially when you have so many people. Somebody has a bad race, that can be 50 to 100 places. I was really happy with how the girls ran today.
"We had three freshmen in our top five. One of them we share with soccer (Dundore) and she had a tremendous race. She had a super race for us today. Our two juniors came in together. That's all you can ask for," he said. "Hopefully next week we can get better and hopefully keep improving as the season goes on."
St. Wendelin took 17th (520), Calvert claimed 21st (719), Carey came in 29th (838), Lakota finished 32nd (887), New Riegel wound up 38th (1,040) and Seneca East ended 42nd (1,193).
Victoria Volpe's 64th (21:19.68) paced St. Wendelin and Jocelyn Reinhart ran 90th (21:52.24).
Calvert's Morgan Smith backed up Olivia Smith by taking 93rd (22:04.29).
Carey got an 84th from Jaclyn Troiano (21:43.15) and a 160th from Amber Spurlock (23:28.69).
Morgan Mowry's 170th (23:38.44) backed up Reese for Lakota.
New Riegel's Morgan Nye ended 166th (23:34.77) and Gidge Elchert crossed the line 188th (24:07.56).
Kirsten Camp came in 151st (23;18.56) for Seneca East and Alyssa England finished 229th (25:23.56).
Division I-B
Columbian found itself bumped up to the Division I-B race this year, and even though the particular race was new for the team and the meet itself was new to some of the Tornadoes, coach Nikki Hintze left the course pleased.
"A little more spread out that what we hoped for but they still had a great race. We had a lot of PR's today, which, this late in the afternoon and this hot, that's hard to do. We had some good races," she said.
"This is our first taste at the whole game of it," she said, referring to her team's move up to Division I. "The whole, big races, racing against teams that have a lot more girls than we do. Getting used to the bigger races."
Columbian finished 11th out of 33 teams, scoring 358 points.
Freshman Derra Cheatham continued to lead TC, breaking the tape 23rd in 21:11.91.
"She ran awesome. She went out hard, she did exactly what she had to do and she pulled the team along," Hintz said. "She had a great race."
Alexis Desjardin added a 59th (22:27.78), Cassandra Gooding ran 72nd (22:41.86), Abrie Smith came in 101st (23:17.09) and Amanda Schwartz took 105th (23:21.32).
Division II-B
Just two area teams competed in the Division II-B race, with Hopewell-Loudon moving up from Division III to claim 15th (437).
Leah Reinhart's 33rd (21:47.33) paced the Chieftains and Keely Hoover claimed 60th (22:24.63).
Upper Sandusky took 20th (500) out of 28 teams on the strength of Olivia Thomson's 44th (22:02.11) and Mackenzie Myers' 97th (23:04.23).
Division II/III Open
While Reese had the day's best time, Old Fort's Kayla Garza wound up with the best individual finish.
The sophomore crossed the line fifth out of 394 runners in the Division II/III Open in 21:12.99, surging up from the eighth spot while going up the meet's final hill several hundred meters before the finish.
"I don't know where it came from. I've had ankle problems, but I just pushed from there on," she said. "I thought, Yeah, I'm tired, but I just got to give it my all now.
"It kind of spooked me out a bit, but I woke up this morning prepared, ready to run, and I did good," she said.

The Stetson women's soccer team returns to the road this weekend, opening up Atlantic Sun Conference play at ETSU and USC Upstate. The Hatters will challenge the Bucs on Friday, September 21 at 7:00 p.m. and cap off the trip with a tilt against the Spartans on Sunday, September 23 at 1:00 p.m.
ETSU welcomes Stetson to town sitting at the top of the A-Sun standings. The Buccaneers hold a record of 6-2-0 after winning their first four matches to start the season. ETSU has recently lost two of its last four tilts, including last Friday's road loss at Longwood. The Bucs are led offensively by Ramey Kerns, who is near the top of the national ranks with nine goals so far this season. Sarah Zadrazil has added a trio of goals and seven assists to help the ETSU attack.
USC Upstate will host FGCU on Friday before playing host to the Hatters on Sunday. The Spartans are currently 2-7-0, losing seven straight matches in between a season-opening win at VMI and a recent double overtime victory over Presbyterian. Upstate has yet to score more than one goal in a single game, and has been shut out on five occasions in 2012. Michelle Calmeyn leads the Spartans with one goal and one assist on the season.
Stetson has had very different outcomes against this weekend's opponents in the past. The Hatters trail ETSU by a mark of 2-6-0 in the all-time series, dating back to a 2-1 loss in Johnson City back in 2005. Last season Stetson fell short by a score of 6-3 at home. SU has fared much better against USC Upstate, holding a 4-0-1 record in the series since beginning with 4-0 win at home in 2007. Last year the Hatters won 6-3 against the Spartans in DeLand.
The Hatters dropped a pair of games this past weekend, falling to UAB at home and dropping a road contest at Furman. Stetson went into halftime tied with the Blazers on Friday, but an early second half score put Stetson away. Freshman Franziska Wendel scored her first career goal on a penalty kick in the loss. SU fell behind early at now 7-1-0 Furman on Sunday, falling by a score of 4-1. Junior Alyssa Welsh tallied her team-leading third goal of the season in the defeat.

Kenny Chesney
- late 1970s
Kenny's Dreams Fall Short
As a kid, Tennessee native Kenny Chesney has dreams of becoming a star athlete. But by the time he reaches Gibbs High School, those dreams fall short when he stops growing at 5'8". During his freshman year in college, his hairdresser mom Karen buys him a guitar for Christmas. "I remember making up songs in my head," Chesney tells PEOPLE in 2002. "Just stupid stuff." In three months, he figures out the chords to the Eagles' "Tequila Sunrise" and has a new passion for music.
- 1987
Chesney Plays for Supper
In between marketing classes at East Tennessee State University, Chesney begins performing in small clubs near campus. "I got $5 an hour plus as many enchiladas as I wanted," he tells PEOPLE. Simultaneously, the budding musician makes a homemade album that sells 1,000 copies. He uses the money to buy a new guitar. After graduation, he moves to Nashville, where he signs with Acuff-Rose as a songwriter.
- 1993
From Capricorn to BNA
Chesney appears at a Nashville songwriters' showcase and gets a record deal with Capricorn Records. His debut album In My Wildest Dreams fails on radio, and Capricorn disbands its country division. However, he nabs a new deal with Sony BMG Nashville's BNA, which releases 1995's All I Need To Know (left) and delivers two Top 10 country hits.
- 1997
Kenny's Many Firsts
After scoring his first gold album with 1996's Me and You, Chesney releases I Will Stand, which produces his first No. 1 single, "She's Got It All." "I went through a lot of stressful nights, wondering which songs to keep and which to let go, because this is a very pivotal album for me," Chesney tells Billboard. In 1998, the Academy of Country Music names Cheney Best New Male Vocalist.
- 1999
"You Had Me From Hello"
Everywhere We Go sells two million copies with the hit, "You Had Me From Hello," borrowed from Jerry Maguire. "When Renée Zellweger said that line, I thought, 'That could be a great song,'" he says. In 2000, his greatest hits album becomes his second double platinum release.
- 2000
Kenny's Wrap Sheet
Chesney and pal Tim McGraw (right) are arrested following a concert in Orchard Park, N.Y., after Chesney mounts a policeman's horse. Afraid that Chesney would fall down, McGraw holds back the officers and is arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault, menacing and resisting arrest. Chesney is arrested for disorderly conduct. When they go to trial the following year, they're acquitted on all charges.
- 2002
No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems
The hardworking Tennessean becomes a Caribbean convert with the release of No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems (left), which sells more than 3 million copies. He also buys a home in the U.S. Virgin Islands and releases All I Want for Christmas Is a Real Good Tan.
- 2003
A Touring Force
Chesney's "Margaritas & Senoritas" tour draws 1.1 million fans, grossing $40 million. "I can't tell you how many people have come up to me and told me they don't really listen to country music, but they love what I'm doing," he tells Billboard. "I love that we've captured a demographic that can grow with us."
- 2004
CMA's Entertainer of the Year
Chesney's When the Sun Goes Down goes triple platinum and is 2004's bestselling country album. He also goes on the "Guitars, Tiki Bars + a Whole Lot of Love" tour with Keith Urban, which grosses $50 million. At the CMAs, Chesney wins top honors: Album of the Year and Entertainer of the Year. "I didn't think I was ever going to get to hold one," Chesney tells Billboard. "I've been through so much in 12 years...When we sold the amount of tickets we sold and the amount of albums we sold...it proved to them that we were connecting with people out there."
- 2005
When Kenny Met Renée
At a telethon for victims of the Asian tsunami, Chesney meets Renée Zellweger, whom he has a long nursed crush on. After a quick courtship, Chesney, 37, and Zellweger, 36, get married on May 9 in a surprise, barefoot-on-the-beach wedding at Chesney's cliffside estate in St. John. "I may well be the luckiest man alive," Chesney says in a statement. "To be so in love with someone who is so perfect for me – it's just hard to imagine that I'm not going to wake up." With his new wedding ring, Chesney picks up Entertainer of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards.

Some birds recognise the idea of 'future' and plan accordingly, researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered. According to their findings, published today in the journal Nature, western scrub-jays will store food items they believe will be in short supply in the future.
Planning for the future is a complex skill that was previously believed to be unique to humans. Other animals were perceived to be incapable of dissociating themselves from the present and any current motivation. Sometimes animals may appear to recognise future needs, but they are only exhibiting behaviours that are either instinctual (e.g. nest building) or prompted by immediate needs like hunger (e.g. food hoarding).
In order to determine whether some animals plan for future food needs or are simply acting on instinct, Professor Nicky Clayton and her team at the Department of Experimental Psychology tested the western scrub-jay.
Every morning, eight scrub-jays either were allowed into the compartment with 'no breakfast' or the compartment with 'breakfast'. They were then allowed to eat for the rest of the day. After several days, the birds were then provided with pine nuts suitable for caching (hoarding) in the evening. In anticipation of a morning without breakfast, the scrub-jays consistently hid food in the 'no breakfast' compartment rather than the 'breakfast' compartment, demonstrating an understanding of future needs (rather than just their immediate needs).
In a similar experiment, the scrub-jays were given either dog food in one compartment or peanuts in a second compartment for breakfast. When they were allowed to cache either food where they liked in the evenings, they once again demonstrated an understanding of future needs and a desire for a varied diet by hoarding peanuts in the dog food compartment and dog kibble in the peanut compartment. If they were caching for current hunger, they would not have discriminated between the types of food or the location of the cache.
Professor Nicky Clayton said, "The western scrub-jays demonstrate behaviour that shows they are concerned both about guarding against food shortages and maximising the variety of their diets in the future. It suggests they have advanced and complex thought processes as they have a sophisticated concept of past, present and future, and factor this into their planning."
Together with her colleague Professor Tom Dickinsons, Professor Clayton and her team have published a number of papers demonstrating the remarkable memories of scrub-jays. Some forms of memory and future thinking are believed to be linked in the human brain and the scientists were interested to see if the same might be true of the scrub-jay brain.

The public got two looks Tuesday at the draft management plan for the Michigan Street African-American Heritage Corridor that aims to commemorate black history in Buffalo.
"It's a framework, a skeleton of what is to come in the corridor," Karen Stanley Fleming, chairwoman of the Heritage Corridor commission, told about 25 people during a noon public hearing in City Hall hosted by Common Council Member Darius G. Pridgen of the Ellicott District. A second hearing followed at 6 p.m.
Historic time periods highlighted in the draft include the original settlement period, the 19th century influx, the abolitionist movement, the Civil War through the 1880s, 20th century influences, and the early civil rights era.
The draft focuses on three areas. The first is the corridor itself, which starts at East Ferry Street and Masten Avenue and continues south to Woodlawn Avenue, then to Michigan Avenue, and ends at Swan Street with several offshoots along the way. Those offshoots include Pine, Sycamore, William, Hickory and South Division streets.
The Corridor Contributing Area encompasses several blocks in and around Broadway and Michigan Avenue, Stanley Fleming said.
And the Thematic Heritage Area includes sites that are not in the corridor but are nevertheless significant.
"For example, Broderick Park is not Michigan or Broadway, but it is important to African-American history," Stanley Fleming said.
Also included in the Thematic Heritage Area is the Buffalo Zoo, particularly Gates 3 and 4, which were designed by African-American architect John Brent, one of the first licensed architects in the state, Stanley Fleming said.
Brent was employed by City Hall when he designed the zoo gates in 1935, according to Everett Fly, one of the consultants on the project.
Brent Rollins – a Brent relative and Glenwood Avenue resident – talked about his childhood memories of the pioneering architect.
"On numerous occasions, we visited the zoo with Uncle John. To us, he was just Uncle John who worked at City Hall," Rollins said.
Another component to the draft calls for taking advantage of educational opportunities in the Heritage Corridor. It seeks partnerships with primary and secondary schools, the zoo, and colleges and universities in the area. "We not only want to attract tourists, but we want to educate our own in Buffalo," Stanley Fleming said.
The draft also identified state and national resources for funding opportunities, including the New York State Council on the Arts and the state Council on the Humanities.
After the public comment period, the Common Council will consider approval. Once the draft has completed the approval process, the panel's next steps would be to establish a seven- to nine-member implementation committee as an interim management structure; to secure two-year operational funding; and to hire a corridor manager.
The next meeting of the corridor panel is set for 1 p.m. March 11 at the Larkin at Exchange Building.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Representatives of the Tahoe Lobster Co. met Thursday with several South Shore anglers to discuss concerns that the crawfish harvest will negatively impact fishing in Tahoe.Tahoe Lobster Co., the first commercial fishing operation to come to Tahoe since the 1930s, acquired the permit to catch and sell the crustaceans in July. The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and other organizations have praised the company's efforts to remove the invasive species from the lake, but some sportfishermen worry that they'll lose lures on the submerged traps. Fred Jackson, owner of Tahoe Lobster Co., opened the discussion Thursday at the Tahoe & Truckee River Fisheries Coalition meeting by stating his desire to foster open communication between the two parties."I'd like to work with these guys and actually give them a map of where we're working. I'm willing to do anything with the fishing community. I can't speak for anybody else but my business, but we're here to open the dialog," Jackson said. Operator of Blue Ribbon Fishing Charters Gene St. Denis and Leonard O'Malley of O'Malley Fishing Charters -the only licensed outfitters at Thursday's meeting -said their primary concern was snagging the submerged traps with fishing lines. If a guide catches a trap with the lure, it will cost him or her valuable time and equipment, O'Malley said. That scenario could be the reason behind the loss of almost 80 Tahoe Lobster Co. traps that disappeared last fall. Jackson posited that an inexperienced fishermen might have hooked the line before throwing the catch back into the water. And the anglers don't want to be held responsible for accidentally pulling up a trap. "It's a challenge to me. I take people out sport fishing, so if I don't know where your traps are and I come across it and I get snagged up with a $30 lure ... If I get caught in your traps, I got to put that time back onto my client's time. I don't want you to think I'm taking your traps," O'Malley said.If more crawfish companies start to drop traps, the anglers worry that areas of shoreline could become "minefields" for guides. TRPA Senior Fisheries and Wildlife Biologist Patrick Stone said Thursday he's received one application and heard from three other interested groups since the agency approved four more crawfish permits last year.Jackson said it's too expensive to mark each trap with a Coast Guard-approved buoy, but he could float two buoys to mark the area where the company had laid traps. Stone suggested that the TRPA could create an email list or website with the GPS coordinates of the markers that would be available to sportsfishermen.Both St. Denis and O'Malley approved of the potential solution, stating that the more information the fishing community has, the better."We're willing to do this right ... It's always learning to avoid things, and I think we can do that with what we've discussed here," St. Denis said. "We can give that a shot. And I'll do everything I can to press the word on that, 'Hey, lets be professional and give the devil its due.'"

TRUCKEE, Calif. — "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." U.S. Constitution, Second Amendment.
Clearly the Second Amendment allows each of us to own a machine gun; that's part of our right to "keep and bear Arms." Right? We need to protect ourselves and a machine gun is perfect. Can't we each be our own Militia?
Homemade Machine gun
On Oct. 30, 2009, the Anchorage Police Department dispatched officers to Matthew Wayne Henry's home after receiving reports of gunfire. They found shell casings everywhere. A search warrant turned up a loaded .308-caliber assault rifle under Henry's bed. Henry was charged with discharging firearms while intoxicated. The case was later dismissed as the State declined to prosecute. Shooting guns while intoxicated must be standard fare in Anchorage.
Anonymous Tip
After Henry was released, the Anchorage police received an anonymous tip that he had converted the .308 rifle into a machine gun, which they had not noticed. They went back with another search warrant and discovered under the bed 20 guns, gun parts and machine gun conversion instructions to convert semiautomatics to full automatics. How'd they miss that cache the first time?
Henry was charged with all sorts of weapons violations which he defended claiming, (a) he had a right to keep a machine gun pursuant to the Second Amendment and (b) laws against machine guns are not authorized under the Commerce Clause — the same Clause that came into play in the U.S. Supreme Court's recent health care decision.
A jury found Henry guilty of knowingly and unlawfully possessing a machine gun. He was sentenced to twenty-four months in prison and forfeited his machine gun. Henry appealed. He didn't mind the time in prison but didn't want to lose his precious gun.
Second Amendment/Machine guns
Congress defines "machine gun" as "any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger." Machine guns were first widely used during World War I. A modern machine gun can fire more than 1,000 rounds per minute. That's some serious lead.
Many hunters use "automatic" shotguns and rifles, but in fact they are semi-automatic, requiring a trigger pull for each shot. A good thing.
Henry's first challenge — that the Second Amendment gives him a right to own a machine gun — came down to whether a machine gun is a "dangerous and unusual weapon," which is not protected by the Second Amendment. The Federal Court of Appeals had no problem finding Henry's machine gun a dangerous and unusual weapon, not "typically possessed by law abiding citizens for lawful purposes." Let's hope.
Commerce Clause
Henry next asserted that the Commerce Clause did not give Congress the power to prohibit possession of homemade machine guns.
The Commerce Clause allows Congress to "regulate commerce ... among the several States."
In short, the Federal Court of Appeals had no problem finding the Commerce Clause gave Congress authority to outlaw homemade machine guns.
Footnote 5
What's interesting in this Opinion is Footnote 5. Footnote 5 discussed the Supreme Court decision upholding the Obama federal health care law requiring individuals to purchase health insurance as a valid exercise of Congress' tax power, not under the Commerce Clause.
In that decision, the Supreme Court limited Congress' power under the Commerce Clause, but in the end, this Court, notwithstanding the new health care case, predictably found the Commerce Clause empowered Congress to outlaw machine guns.
Conviction and two-year sentence upheld; machine gun to the scrap pile.

Domestic water consumption has formed about 50 % of the total water supply in Nairobi for the last 10 years. Nairobi City Commission (NCC), which is responsible for the water supply in the city, has rightly classified domestic demandrates as following the income groups which also correspond to different housing types. This study examines the per capita water consumption and variation in domestic water usage in Nairobi West, Madaraka and Kahawa West housing estates. A total of 2600 meters which is 3 % of all water connections in Nairobi was read. A questionnaire survey was conducted for the purposes of population estimate for each area. Master meters were located at the entry to each study are awhich had been isolated from the neignbouring distribution networks. Domestic water consumption figures from the billing records of the NCC were also examined. The results from this study showed that the trend in percapita water consumption is consistent with the classification chosen. The medium income per capita figure of 115 l/cap/day favourably with 136 l/cap/day from the design file and 115 l/cap/day from other studies of similar areas. The chosen high income area was conclusively not representative with 120 l/cap/day compared with 270 l/cap/day used in designin similar areas. The peak factors also showed the expected trend according the location classification. Although these figures obtained from this study are not adequate for design or prognosis, they are nevertheless useful in conjunction with other results which could be investigated for other similar areas. /Kir09

HARTLAND – Hand-knit wool baby clothes, report cards from the nearby one-room cobblestone schoolhouse and treasured vintage wedding photos – these are a few mementos that remain after flames destroyed an approximately 200-year-old homestead on Easter.
But hardy Prudom Farms descendants – now into their fifth generation on the land that straddles Carmen Road for nearly 150 acres – vow to continue working the farm and delivering the fresh fruits and vegetables and other goods they are known for.
They are also trying to recover remnants of their past while they make plans to rebuild among the ashen ruins at 2570 Carmen.
Anonymous friends have set up an account at KeyBank to collect donations for the rebuilding project, perhaps knowing that the Prudom family did not have insurance to cover the cost.
"It took us aback," Linda Prudom Wilson said of the charitable account. She grew up in the Prudom homestead and now lives across the street with her husband, Bill. "We could hardly believe that someone would do this for us," she said.
Wilson is thankful that no one was injured in the fire but still hopes her family will be able to salvage more heirlooms from the wreckage.
"It's heartbreaking more than anything," said Wilson, who also serves as secretary of the Hartland Historical Society. "The thing that hurts is to lose the keepsakes because there's no way to replace them."
Wilson recalled the day of the fire at the farmhouse where her brother Winston, 72, and a hired man, Kenneth Hallifax, had lived.
Her family had just left the Easter dinner table and was helping clear the table, while some relatives walked across the street to care for the many animals they keep in barns and pastures there.
"All of a sudden, the hired man came running out yelling, 'The house is on fire,' and he had a fire extinguisher," Wilson said.
"I heard him yelling. They tried to put it out, but they couldn't do anything with it."
Volunteer fire companies from Middleport, Hartland, Shelby, Barker and Wrights Corners responded, but the house was destroyed.
The Prudoms had recently transferred ownership from Winston to his great-niece, Stacey McAvoy, 28, who hadn't "picked up the insurance yet," according to Wilson, who is McAvoy's grandmother.
"It's difficult for farmers to get insurance when they start a new policy with new names on it, and we were in the process of doing that," Wilson said.
The family thinks the fire started "in the wiring," she said, "up in the ceiling near the fluorescent lights. We had planned to work on the wiring next month."
The family lost generations worth of mementos.
"My grandparents' things, my parents' things, my brother Winston's things – they were all in that house," Wilson said. "That's what hurts the most.
"We've found a few pictures, a few baby things that my mother had in a cedar chest, and the chest somehow ended up outside of the house," she said. "They were soaking wet, but we're trying to dry them out. My baby book and both of my brothers' baby books were in there. And a few report cards from when I went to the one-room schoolhouse that I didn't realize my mother had kept.
"My sister already had the family Bible – it was my great-grandmother's – and I have a special dish here that was willed to my grandmother by her sister-in-law, but there were a lot of antiques in that house, like marble-top tables, a secretary, a china cabinet and a bed set with a headboard that went all the way to the ceiling. But what can you do?"
Wilson said her relatives have been sifting through the ruins looking for anything else that might be salvageable, but because she uses a walker, she has been unable to go across the street to see it herself. Her brother Winston and their employee, Hallifax, have been staying with the Wilsons.
Wilson said that many of her family members work on the farm, which covers land on both sides of Carmen, from Seaman Road to Rose Road, growing vegetables, fruit, hay and a little grain. Firefighters saved the barns that day by soaking them, and were able to move all of the animals to safety, which include a herd of beef cattle with 10 calves, about 40 sheep and lambs, and five pigs.
"It was just the house we lost, thank God," she said.
The house was already there when Wilson's father, Herbert, moved there as a baby with his parents around 1913, Wilson said.
"We think the house was built in the early 1800s," she said. "The house was handed down through the family."
Wilson's granddaughter, Stacey McAvoy, said that she has a deed that dates from Holland Land Co. and that the house had actually been rebuilt in 1848 – following a fire.
"I haven't even calculated the total loss here yet," McAvoy said. "Because we didn't have insurance, I have to use estimates and appraisals and adjust for inflation.
"We had commercial equipment in the building in back that we used to sell meats and cheeses. We didn't butcher animals here – we sent them out to be butchered – but we had the equipment to make sausage and sell deli meats, etcetera. We hadn't done that in a while, but we were just about to get back into it, and we were planning to replace the electric next month. That's the ironic story of my life."
Lynne McAvoy, Stacey's mother, said she herself has worked the farm since she was a young teenager, helping her uncle Winston and grandfather. Lynne McAvoy said that the family operates a large stand on Carmen and that she and her daughter deliver to local markets from June to late October and offer "just about anything you see in a seed catalog."
Her daughter added, "We probably won't do as many of the local markets this year as we usually do, because we'll be busy trying to rebuild here, and we'll have to prioritize, but we will still have a lot of produce available, and we should be able to have a fairly productive season."
Anyone wishing to help finance the rebuilding project may donate at any KeyBank branch or at the Prudom Farms Benefit Fund, c/o KeyBank, 5688 S. Transit Road, Lockport, NY 14094-5845, or by visiting www.PrudomFarms.com.

Tori Spelling wants to set the record straight.
In response to recent reports suggesting that she and her husband Dean McDermott are on the verge of divorce, the actress penned an open letter Thursday, saying nothing could be further from the truth.
"It's just sad that our actual happiness would probably be deemed boring," she says. As for the media scrutiny on their marriage, she adds, "I can handle it. I always have."
"But don't do it to a man that has done nothing but loved me and our children. He has stood by me during the good times and held my hand through the darkest moments of my life."
When it comes to McDermott, she says, "I'm so blessed to have him as my partner in life and love and he is the best father to our four children."
The actress and Oxygen reality star, 39, chose to publicly respond when her son Liam, 6 this month, became worried after seeing tabloid reports while in the checkout line at the supermarket.
Back in their car, "he was anxiously biting his lower lip and his big blue eyes were filled with tears. My heart sank," Spelling writes. "I've always had shots taken at me … But my children are another story. Keep them out of it!"
Heading home, "I repeatedly told my children, 'Daddy and I are very happy and in love. There will be no divorce and all of us will remain together as a family.' "
Spelling – who's also mom to daughters Stella, 4½, and Hattie, 16 months, and son Finn, 6 months – adds that her response was driven by her maternal instinct.
"This time I had to comment because this time I'm answering not as a celebrity but as a mom," she says. "I'm aware that all that matters is that we know our truth … What kind of society have we become where love stories and fairytales are dead? That's not the world I want my children growing up in."

An estimated 5,681 people in Erie County were homeless at some point in 2012, an annual survey has found.
That's about 600 more homeless people than in 2011, although the authors of the report said at least some of the increase was the result of better data collection.
"We counted people we may have missed before," said Dale Zuchlewski, executive director of the Homeless Alliance of Western New York.
Still, the survey noted a disturbing 16 percent increase in the number of homeless families, estimated at 2,017.
And more than three-quarters of them are single mothers.
"There are just too many single moms living on the edges of homelessness and more are falling in," Zuchlewski said. "This is a nationwide problem. It's not unique to Buffalo."
Family homelessness often has devastating effects on children, and it results in poor school attendance and performance, perpetuating a cycle of poverty, he added.
The survey covered Oct. 1, 2011, to Sept. 30, 2012.
It found that 540 people – up from 492 in 2011 – spent some portion of the year living on Buffalo's streets or in cars and abandoned buildings.
The number of chronically homeless people fell by 20 to 463. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development defines chronic homelessness as being without a home for one year or longer or four or more times in a three-year period.
The survey noted a bright spot: The number of homeless veterans fell to 207 from 223 in 2011. The number could decrease further thanks to a new Veterans One-Stop Center that opened recently on Main Street and more federal funding to address the issue.
But the area needs more affordable housing for people living in poverty to overcome homelessness in general, Zuchlewski said.
He pointed to the loss of 300 single units of low-income housing when the Lafayette Hotel was renovated into boutique hotel rooms and high-end apartments.
The project was a great success for downtown Buffalo, he said, "but those units were never replaced."

The White Team defeated the Green Team in every facet of the game during Thursday's opening game of the annual Hatter series at Melching Field. The squad pitched well, played good defense, got timely hits, had quality at bats, and ran the bases well.
Led by junior left-hander Cameron Griffin on the mound, the White Team kept Green in check all day. Griffin started on the mound and went four innings, giving up just one earned run on four hits. He struck out five batters and walked two on his way to the win. Chad Rood, Brandon Diaz and Matt Brandys each pitched scoreless frames in the fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively.
Offensively, the White Team scored in every frame but the second, and every hitter crossed the plate at least once. Of the 12 runs, only four were earned as White took advantage of four Green fielding errors. They also swiped seven bags in the seven inning contest.
Sophomore shortstop Tyler Bocock led the way at the plate, going three-for-five with two runs scored, two stolen bases, and an RBI. Leadoff man, sophomore center fielder Tanner Blackman, went two-for-four with two runs scored, a stolen base, and two RBI.
The big blow to Green's chances came off of freshman first baseman Pat Mazeika's bat in the second inning when he connected on a two-RBI double over the right fielder's head. Mazeika later came in to score on an RBI single by fellow freshman, catcher Buck McCarthy. Mazeika also knocked in the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, finishing the day one-for-four with three RBI and a walk. McCarthy also went one-for-four with an RBI and a walk.
Sophomore second baseman Kyle Pitts wreaked havoc on the bases, reaching base three out of five times to the plate, and stealing three bases. As a team, White had nine hits, walked six times and only struck out four times on the day. They moved a runner from second to third with no outs successfully in all three opportunities they had. Defensively, they did not commit an error.
The Green Team couldn't muster much offense on the day. The lone run was scored by freshman third baseman Carlos Garmendia, who swung the bat well in a one-for-three day, hitting two balls hard. Redshirt freshman Ben Rakus took the loss for the Green team surrendering five runs, only one of which was earned, in two innings of work.
The Hatter Series continues today, Friday, at 3:00 p.m. at Melching Field. Admission is free to the public.

Even though the Desperate Housewives star's husband Tom Mahoney battled cancer over the last year, she says the couple never considered telling their daughters.
"There's no point in telling our kids," Cross, 48, tells PEOPLE on Friday at the "Stand Up to Cancer" telecast in Los Angeles. "They were so young and anything to them is normal, so they didn't know things weren't normal."
"They're enjoying their life," she says. "Daddy's fine. It's in the past. He has nothing to say."
While her husband's health has improved considerably, Cross says she is at a good place in her life. "My kids are great, work is great, my husband's really, really fantastic," she says. "I'm very blessed. All of my dreams have come true."

Page was up against Jolie's A Mighty Heart performance and took everything in stride.
"I'm just trying to go along with it, staying with a friend, having fun," Page told PEOPLE of Oscar weekend. "Just trying to remove myself in a way, and remember it's about film ... These nominations are a huge honor. It's exciting."
Page, wearing a Yohji Yamamato jacket and shirt on the blue carpet, is having a big week. Not only did the film also win top honors, she's nominated for the Best Actress Oscar Sunday and celebrated her 21st birthday Thursday.
"I played running charades and drank tequila," Page said backstage of her milestone celebration. "I had never tasted liquor before – what a funny, sharp taste."
Jolie came with Brad Pitt, who co-produced the film. They did not do interviews on the carpet – though Jolie spoke volumes with a bump accentuated by her form-fitting black dress. And a source close to the couple told PEOPLE that they are "thrilled to be adding to their brood."
Dedication to HeathCate Blanchett won best supporting actress for her turn as Bob Dylan in I'm Not There, while Phillip Seymour Hoffman won best actor for The Savages, and Chiwetel Ejiofor won best supporting actor for Talk to Me.
Blanchett, who is expecting a baby in April, wore a flowy Vera Wang dress. She told PEOPLE she looked for a dress that was "something stretchy."
She also paid tribute to her I'm Not There costar Heath Ledger, much like at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. "This is for him," Blanchett said, to applause.

NEW CUMBERLAND, W.Va. - Local authorities will be extraditing a teenage girl wanted in connection with a New Cumberland bank robbery and now sitting in a North Carolina jail.
Neredia Jade Marie Ferrer, 19, has been charged with being an accessory to bank robbery for her alleged role in the Feb. 19 robbery of the Hancock County Savings Bank in New Cumberland.
She and her boyfriend, Russell F. Culbreth, 34, were taken into custody on Tuesday in Fayetteville, N.C., after Culbreth allegedly robbed a bank there. The arrests ended what authorities described as a string of bank robberies stretching across three states - West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina.
Hancock County Sheriff Ralph Fletcher said Culbreth confessed to all three robberies and is being held in Cumberland County Jail on a $25,000 bond. He likely will be tried for the Fayetteville robbery first, said Hancock County Prosecutor Jim Davis.
"It's possible that they'll dispose of their case down there before we see him," Davis said.
Authorities had been looking for Culbreth and Ferrer since Feb. 19, when Culbreth is alleged to have robbed the New Cumberland bank and left with an undisclosed amount of money. Ferrer is accused of being an accessory after the fact, meaning she likely helped Culbreth hide or escape, Fletcher said.
On Monday, sheriff's Detective Matt Harvey and New Cumberland police Lt. Jeremy Krzys received word that there had been a bank robbery in Prince William County, Va., on Saturday. Police investigated "suspicious activity" at a nearby hotel and found documents identifying Culbreth, Fletcher said.
Virginia authorities contacted the FBI in Wheeling after learning about the New Cumberland robbery through the National Crime Information Center, Fletcher said. "They ran (Culbreth's) name through the NCIC database, and our warrants popped up," he said.
Then, on Tuesday, police in Fayetteville, N.C., respond to a robbery at the Carter Bank and Trust. Culbreth and another man - later identified as Louis Joseph Spano, 30, of Fayetteville-fled the scene in a black Pontiac Grand Am and crashed it into a fence about three miles from the bank, Fletcher said.
The two fled on foot, and police were able to capture them a short time later, but not before a nearby elementary school had to be put on lockdown as a precaution, according to reports.
Information obtained from Culbreth led to the whereabouts of Ferrer, who is not believed to have been involved with the other robberies, Fletcher said.
Ferrer, who is from the New Cumberland area, also is being held in the Cumberland County Jail. If she waives extradition, local authorities will be able to bring her back soon, Davis said.
If she does not waive extradition, local authorities would have to obtain a governor's warrant to bring her back to Hancock County, Davis said. A hearing would have to be held in Fayetteville determining that she is the one who is wanted on the Hancock County charge.
Davis said his office would have 180 days to get the governor's warrant if Ferrer does not waive extradition. "She's coming back here because there's no charges against her in either Virginia or North Carolina," he said.
As for Culbreth, he probably won't be coming back to Hancock County anytime soon, Davis said. "He would be tried (in North Carolina) first. I wouldn't let him go," he said.

The Curve's final record of 63-79 would indicate that this year's team was lousy, although that really wasn't the case.
They finished with the second-worst record in franchise history, barely avoiding 80 losses like the team had in 2009. And they finished with the second-worst record in the Eastern League, barely ahead of the 80 losses by Reading.
But for the most part, the Curve weren't lousy. They were competitive night in and night out for pretty much the entire season, and their biggest flaw was that they were good enough to just barely lose.
It went on that way for months, and fittingly enough, that's how the season ended Monday. The Curve and Akron went into extra innings before the Aeros prevailed, 4-2, in the 11th at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
"No, I don't feel like this team is 63-79," manager Carlos Garcia said. "I think that this team could well have played over .500. Definitely the tools are there. But I don't think I'm going to judge this ballclub on winning and losing because it's not my job winning games.
"But at the same time, definitely with that kind of talent, they've got to learn how to win."
Fact Box
Next stop
The Curve's next game will be April 3, 2014 at home against Erie.
That's something this team never figured out.
"One day it's the pitching, one day it's the hitting, we could never match it up," second baseman Jarek Cunningham said. "You have to do that to win games."
Cunningham hit his team-leading 19th homer Monday, and Mel Rojas Jr. had an RBI single as Altoona built a 2-0 lead. Then a very costly error by one of the team's top prospects, shortstop Alen Hanson, helped Akron tie the game at 2-2 in the seventh.
Those are the kind of mistakes that losing teams always seem to make, and the Curve made a ton of them all season.
"Today it was about making a routine play," Garcia said. "That allowed them to tie the game and later on come back and win it."
Akron scored two runs in the 11th off reliever Eliecer Navarro (4-8) for the victory. Austin Adams (3-2) won for the Aeros, and Jose Flores earned his 16th save.
"The talent's there, and baseball is going to do that to you sometimes," Curve outfielder Alex Dickerson said. "You're going to have years like that.
"It's just like the Pirates. They've been on the cusp, and now they're there this year and are looking real good. It's the same for the minor league system. I think it's about to turn that corner and be a pretty dominant system."
Pirates pitcher Jason Grilli, coming back from a forearm injury, made his second rehab start in three days for the Curve and pitched a scoreless inning. He struck out three - one reaching base on a wild pitch - gave up one hit and stranded runners at the corners while throwing 17 pitches (14 strikes).
"I felt good," Grilli said before later adding, "I'm getting closer. Like I said, 85 percent if you want a percentage or number, that's where I'm at."
He felt no pain, and even though he's scheduled to make another rehab appearance for Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Grilli is hoping he can skip that and return to the major league roster.
"That's up for discussion," he said, meaning he's not sure if the Pirates will let him return just yet.
Grilli's slider had great movement on it Monday, and the Double-A hitters didn't have much chance against it.
"You get thrown into a big league game, a big league crowd, the big league lights, a big league hitter in the box, you get that other 15 percent from adrenaline," Grilli said.
Monday's game drew 4,095 fans, bringing the season total at PNG Field to 286,227 in 68 home dates. The average comes out to 4,209, a 2 percent decrease from last year's figure of 4,295.
That's the official number. Crunching the numbers another way, the Curve were dead on with 2012 from an attendance standpoint.
The preseason exhibition crowd against the Pirates was 10,116, which doesn't count toward the attendance average. If that did count, the average would have been 4,294.8, or almost exactly what it was last year.
"In light of the fact that we had really a tough June - there was a lot of rain during that month, which is usually a bigger month for us - to recover like we did in July and August [was encouraging]," Curve general manager Rob Egan said. "Plus you add in the fact that we had such a huge opener with the exhibition game.
"In terms of the overall season, it was very much a success."
Game recap
Key player: Akron RF Carlos Moncrief went 2-for-3 with a tying two-run single in the seventh and go-ahead RBI single in the 11th.
Key play: Curve SS Alen Hanson made a crucial error with two outs in the seventh, opening the door for Akron to score twice and tie the game.
Key stat: The Curve's final record of 63-79 matches the second worst in franchise history, avoiding the record 80-loss mark by one game.
How they scored
Bottom 3rd: Tejeda singled, scored on Rojas Jr. single (1-0).
Bottom 5th: Cunningham solo homer (2-0).
Top 7th: Rodriguez doubled, Moncrief walked, both scored on Lawson single (2-2).
Top 11th: Moncrief doubled, scored on Lawson single (2-3); Abraham walked, scored on Wallace sacrifice fly (2-4).

Lymphoma - Hodgkin; Hodgkin disease; Cancer - Hodgkin lymphoma
Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer of lymph tissue. Lymph tissue is found in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, bone marrow, and other sites.
The cause of Hodgkin lymphoma is not known. Hodgkin lymphoma is most common among people 15 to 35 years old and 50 to 70 years old. Past infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is thought to contribute to some cases. People with HIV infection are at increased risk compared to the general population.
Symptoms may include any of the following:
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
Symptoms caused by Hodgkin lymphoma may occur with other conditions. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific symptoms.
The first sign of Hodgkin lymphoma is often a swollen lymph node that appears without a known cause. The disease can spread to nearby lymph nodes. Later it may spread to the spleen, liver, bone marrow, or other organs.
The disease is usually diagnosed after a biopsy of suspected tissue, usually a lymph node.
If the biopsy and other tests show that you have Hodgkin lymphoma, more tests will be done to see how far the cancer has spread. This is called staging. Staging helps guide treatment and follow-up.
The following procedures will usually be done:
In rare cases, abdominal surgery is needed to take out a piece of the liver and remove the spleen.
Treatment depends on the following:
You may receive chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both. Your doctor can tell you more about your specific treatment.
High-dose chemotherapy may be given when Hodgkin lymphoma returns after treatment or does not respond to the first treatment. This is followed by an autologous stem cell transplant (using your own stem cells).
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences can help you not feel alone.
Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the most curable cancers. Cure is even more likely if it is diagnosed and treated early. Unlike other cancers, Hodgkin lymphoma is also very curable in its late stages.
You will need to have regular exams and imaging tests for years after your treatment. This helps your doctor check for signs of the cancer returning and for any long-term treatment effects.
Treatments for Hodgkin lymphoma can have complications. Long-term complications of chemotherapy or radiation therapy include:
Keep following up with a doctor who knows about monitoring and preventing these complications.
