A Connecticut prosecutor does not plan to charge the owner of a chimpanzee that mauled and blinded Charla Nash in February. Nash has been treated at the Cleveland Clinic.

Representatives of the Health Policy Institute of Ohio will continue a multicity tour to discuss the findings of a recent Ohio Family Health Survey. Cincinnati and Cleveland will have events this week.
