Description from owner
Casares del Sol (as featured in C4 TV overseas property programme "A Place in the Sun" in January 2014) is an attractive development of luxury apartments and penthouses within a secure gated complex with delightful gardens, fabulous swimming pools and underground car parking facilities. Our well furnished and thoughtfully equipped ground floor 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom apartment overlooks attractive gardens and a fabulous swimming pool. Guests have access to two swimming pools within this secure, gated development. The swimming pool that our apartment overlooks has a life guard and is open throughout the summer, usually from mid June to end September/early October, but precise dates depend on the weather and usage. The second swimming pool, which is less than a 5 minute walk away, is open all year round. Both have adjoining children's pools. We were delighted to see that Casares del Sol featured very positively in Channel 4's overseas property TV programme "A Place in the Sun" in January

It was good value for the money and definitely I'll recommend to my friends the house and also the urbanization. We had a very beautiful holiday.July 2012: John from Aidrie: We really enjoyed our week in this lovely apartment, it had everything you would need & was really clean and comfortable. The terrace was fab with lovely pool views. David the owner had sent us plenty of information on where to go and places to enjoy which was very helpful we would definitely like to return and will recommend to friends and family.October 2011: Pam & family: We found this apartment spacious, clean, tastefully decorated and extremely well-equipped. It also has a fantastic location beside the swimming pool - particularly perfect if you happen to have children (lovely big balcony too!). The gardens are also beautiful with breathtaking views of the mountains from central swimming pool area. General location of the resort is also ideal with many interesting places to visit nearby, as well as good restauarants and beaches. Top marks all round! August 2011: Kath & family: We have had a lovely time in your apartment and would like to book again for August 2012. July 2011: Nikki from Milton Keynes: We stayed at the apartment 4-14 July 2011. We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the apartment (it seemed smaller in the photos), and how well equipped it was. The owners have put a lot of thought into making it as comfortable as possible, with everything from a sewing kit to a garlic crusher in the kitchen, and a selection of books and movies for guests to use. The terrace overlooks the pool and we enjoyed eating there. The apartment is very well located for exploring the area - we enjoyed our trips to Gibraltar, Ronda and Casares. I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment to a friend. We had a fantastic holiday!April 2011: O'Connor family: We had a lovely holiday despite the weather not being great. The apartment is great, it has everything we needed including Sky TV and Wi-Fi. It has a great location beside the pool. Hoping to come back again later in the Summer. Thanks.August/September 2010: Fahey family: We had a fantastic holiday. The apartment was excellent, well furnished, comfortable beds and a great view of the swimming pool from the terrace. Too many attractions to list but have a few that are definitely worth a visit: water park at Algerciras, beach at bottom of the hill across the roundabout - great beach bar too; beach at Estepona fantastic; restaurants: La Traviata at Duquesa - great steaks, Marymar beach front seafood restaurant at Sabinillas - great fish cooked on beach and brought to your table. This is the fifth time we have stayed at Casares and we will definitely be coming back - this apartment is the best we have stayed in. Thank you.August 2010: Cor, Annette, Victor & Nina from Holland: We enjoyed our stay in this great apartment. Breakfast outside, view of the pool, a great way to start the day.

Highlights during our stay: a visit to Gibraltar - very surprising and the beach at Sabanillas. Thanks for a great stay.July 2010 from Ian, Chris & Lucas: A really comfortable and well equipped apartment. We enjoyed our stay enormously. Lovely pool and beatutiful gardens. Local highlights included the the beach just over the main road with its big, white rolling waves and soft sand; the Sunday morning markets with their interesting array of goods; and the atmosphere and food at Puerto Duquesa. Finally, the information available in the apartment includes a lot of the history of the surrounding area - it's well worth reading if you have the time. All in all a great holiday - thank you.July 2010 from Christine & family: "We enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The pool and gardens are lovely and well managed. Great location for beaches, dining out, shopping (good local markets).

Location description from owner
The Andalucia region
The Costa del Sol offers a wide range of sightseeing, sporting and leisure activities, many within easy reach of the apartment. Puerto Banus with its restaurants, clubs, bars and shops is a 20 minutes drive away whilst, in the opposite direction, Gibraltar offers tax free shopping and spectacular views only 30 minutes away. Children and adults alike will enjoy the wonderful beaches and a visit to the Selwo Safari Park. Further inland, Ronda and the many surrounding white Andalucian villages, offer great historical interest and a glimpse of traditional Spain.
There are also many excellent 18 hole golf courses within easy access of the apartment. The Finca Cortesin Golf Club, which hosts the 2009 World Match Play Tournament, is within walking distance and offers superb golfing facilities and an excellent restaurant. The Casares Golf & Country Club is also only a leisurely stroll away and offers discounted rates to visitors from Casares del Sol. They also have an attractive bar and restaurant.
One of the main attractions of the Costa del Sol is its consistently warm mediterranean climate and the region enjoys sunshine for over 320 days per year. The hottest time of year is during the Summer months when daytime temperatures average around 30 degrees Centigrade (85 F). Even during the Winter months the climate is pleasantly mild with daytime temperatures around 18 degrees Centigrade (63 F). You will need some warm clothing during the Winter evenings, although temperatures rarely fall below 10 degrees Centigrade.
This very pleasant climate makes the Costa del Sol an attractive all year round holiday destination and an excellent short break from the British weather, particularly in late Autumn and early Spring. Our apartment is an ideal base for exploring Andalucia or enjoying a golfing holiday.
Duquesa and Estepona, which both have pretty marinas and an excellent range of restaurants, bars and nightlife are only a short drive away. The Andalucian village of Casares is a 15 minute drive inland from Casares del Sol and offers wonderful views, country side walks, birdwatching and a small selection of bars and restaurants. The beach is literally a 3 minute drive away or, if you are feeling fit, a 15 minute stroll from the apartment where there is also a lively beach bar. There is a good selection of well stocked supermarkets in Sabinillas which is only a 5/10 minute drive from the apartment. There are a number of excellent golf course close by, some within walking distance.
There is also good access by road to a number of attractive Spanish towns. Ronda is high up in the mountains with stunning views across the countryside whilst Mijas, just 8 km inland, is set amongst pine groves on the edge of the Sierra de Kijas mountains with its cobbled streets, unique square bullring and breathtaking coastal views. Most watersports eg diving, waterskiing and kitesurfing are available at Tarifa, just 14 km along the coast. There is also skiing in the Sierra Nevada, often until May. Selwo Safari and Adventure Park (www.selwo.es) is close by for family entertainment. If you are more adventurous, you can take a trip to Morocco on the hydrofoil.

Marine & Freshwater Research is an international and interdisciplinary journal publishing contributions on all aquatic environments and subject areas. The journal's content addresses broad conceptual questions and may consider further implications and management applications of research. Environments range from groundwaters, wetlands and streams to estuaries, rocky shores, coral reefs and the open ocean. Subject areas include, but are not limited to: aquatic ecosystem processes, such as nutrient cycling; biology; ecology; biogeochemistry; biogeography and phylogeography; hydrology; limnology; management applications; oceanography; and toxicology. Contributions that consider marine and freshwater ecosystems as socioecological systems are welcomed if they emphasise these subjects and include implications for management. Manuscripts that largely address physiological, microbiological or fisheries subjects without adequate reference to the aquatic environment are generally not considered.
Marine & Freshwater Research is a valuable resource for researchers in industry and academia, resource managers, environmental consultants, students and amateurs who are interested in any aspect of the aquatic sciences.

Powerhead help
I have a 55 gallon FOWLR (for now) and believe I need some more water movement at the bottom half of the tank. I do not want to add anything bulky to the inside of the tank, so I thought I should get a magnet power head, Like this one.
1. Is this too much money for something like this - about $420?
2. How much flow rate do I need? I don't want to push the fish (2 clowns and 4 snails for right now) or the sand around. I do plan to get corals down the road, but not sure what type.
Here is a link to what my tank looks like, so you can imagine it for yourself. www.mikedelo.com/mytank.jpg. Please do not mind the light. I am in the middle of ordering the correct sized light. I switched from a 30 gallon SW to a 55 gallon sized tank.
well thats nice if you really want to foot the bill for it.
Most of the price of that is for the included controller.
Personally, in that tank, I'd just go with a pair of Hydor Koralia 2's or 3's
Also note that standard HTML formatting does not work in a PHP forum. Ive taken the liberty of adjusting the formatting so your links are now displayed properly. If you need any help with adding links, send me a PM and I'll be glad to help.
Powerhead Arrangements
Is there a way best suited to arrange Powerheads for a FOWLR Tank? Have a sump w filter under the tank that recieves water at the top of the tank and disperses it through "jets" at the top of the tank. Bought a Powerhead and hung it on the wall at the top of the tank recieving water inferiorly and ejecting it Perpendicular to the out put of the filter return. Purchased a third powerhead and not sure where to place it (Want more flow on the bottom without creating a Sand storm. Any suggestions? Are there standard ways to arrange Powerheads?

"This is a DROP SHIPPED item, it will be shipped separate from your regular order by the Manufacturer"
The Vitalizer Plus provides the very apex in what water can do for us. The long term health benefits this machine provides cannot be overstated! This is probably one of the most important pages you will read on this or any other website devoted to drinking water. The powerful information laid out below will illustrate why it may not be sufficient to just obtain PURE drinking water. In order to realize the full benefits of water at the cellular level in the body, additional functional water characteristics must be present for optimum benefits. Not only are most naturally occurring water sources polluted these days, but they also do not have the same functional properties as highly "structured water". The Vitalizer Plus has been developed to allow you to now produce both PURE and HEALTHY water easily and inexpensively in the convenience of your home or office. Let's talk about structured water.
These can all lead to improved body performance and stamina. A unique source of ENERGY, ENERGY, ENERGY, starting at the cellular level where it counts!!
How Does The Vitalizer Plus Work?
It uses movement. The Vitalizer Plus technology incorporates basic principles utilized in nature, to create special life-enhancing water your body will love. In nature, this life-enhancing water begins with rain or snow which is naturally energized and if not polluted with atmospheric acids, is often highly structured. Water naturally forms vortices when flowing around stones and other objects, oxygenates itself in the vortices and by flowing over stones and little water falls, receiving far infrared enhancement from the sun and electromagnetic stimulants from granite type-rocks and the earth's natural magnetic field. Therefore, in the Vitalizer Plus, a highly powerful vortex, electromagnetic fields and ceramic materials emitting FIR energy emulate the natural phenomena which create healthy water in nature.
The end result is a super wetting hexagonal structure carrying extra oxygen, energy and ionic minerals deep into the cellular environment in seconds. Scientific research from many studies found in the newly translated book "The Water Puzzle and the Hexagonal Key" makes a strong, well documented case for the observed presence of hexagonal water around healthy cells and organs and five sided or pentagonal water structures around cancer cells and sick organs. (Magnetically produced hexagonal water is the most stable according to research, vs. structured water produced by ionizers.)
Vitalizer Plus INCREASES OXYGEN CONTENT
Oxygen is a powerful element in maintaining vibrant cellular health. Most people think we take oxygen only through the air we breathe. However, foaming oxygen increased by vortex action and magnetized water (as with the Vitalizer Plus!) activates the kinetic energy, stimulates the mucous membrane while passing through the stomach, small and large intestines, and promotes blood circulation to the blood vessels. The oxygen also takes out the toxic gases and wastes in the intestines, providing a clean intestinal environment as well as a clear blood stream. The additional oxygen existing in the hexagonal water produced by the Vitalizer Plus can easily be absorbed and will penetrate into the blood within 30 seconds; to the brain tissues and genitals after one minute; to the skin after 10 minutes and to the heart, liver and kidneys after 20 minutes. The brain accounts for 20-30% of total oxygen consumption in our body. Lack of oxygen to the brain may cause one to be lethargic, have a lower attention span, and over an extended period of hypoxia will certainly lead to dementia and eventually death. (Please read the important precautionary information at the bottom of this page with respect to the use of the hexagonal water and its potential effect on both mental and physical cleansing activities. The higher level of oxygen in the Vitalized water may result in dramatic increases in memory or mental activity.) When exposed to a vortex, oxygen can be bonded to water molecules. Such an effect can be observed in mountain streams where millions of small, swirling vortices capture and bond oxygen into the passing water. In the Vitalizer Plus, a powerful vortex increases the oxygen content of the water. A 30% increase in dissolved oxygen over even good quality bottled water can be realized as illustrated below. To experience the greatest benefit of this increased oxygenation level, the Vitalizer Plus water should be used within 20 minutes of preparation. In all serious disease states we find a concomitant low oxygen state. Low oxygen in the body tissues is a sure indicator for disease. Hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the tissues, is the fundamental cause for all degenerative disease. Dr. Stephen Levine Molecular Biologist: Oxygen Deficiency: A Concomitant to all Degenerative Illnesses. When the body has ample oxygen, it produces enough energy to optimize metabolism and eliminate accumulated toxic wastes in the tissues. Natural immunity is achieved when the immune system is not burdened with heavy "toxic buildup". Detoxification occurs when oxygen is introduced into the system. - Dr. Norman McVea

He's not exactly William Tell or Robin Hood, because yours truly — especially in high school before I met my gal — learned Cupid's aim can be off by quite a bit. However, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Here's to love — the only fire for which you don't need insurance.
+ + +
If you can wait a couple of days to celebrate Cupid's day, the wonderful folks at the Italo-American Club — including my high school classmate, the vibrant and pretty Karen (Faso) East — are having a Valentine's Dance on Saturday evening. Social hour begins at 6 p.m. with dinner and dance to follow. From what 94-year-old Fred Gartner and the bubbly Marcella Andrews tell me, "It's always a good time at the Italo-American Club."
+ + +
But before that, howzabout breakfast and bathrooms? That hardworking group known as Sunrise Rotary is having breakfast Saturday morning at (where else) the Sunrise Rotary Sports Complex at the end of Clinton Avenue. Members will be getting together over pancakes and morning munchies to talk about their new bathroom project way out by the softball fields. It is sorely needed because, having played a lot of games in my day, I know how much players can drink to stay hydrated. Besides, if you have never been out to those terrific ball fields with the nearest restroom a hundred yards away, it is no surprise nothing has grown in the farmer's field behind them, and closer.
+ + +
Now that we've gotten that lovely image out of the way, it's back to tomorrow. If you are not a romantic you can move to my Wednesday page companion, Cathie Campbell for one of her wonderful recipes...

September Hardware NPDs: Xbox 360 Outsells Wii
The five week span encompassing the September NPD numbers is a wow-inducing one. Undoubtedly the release of Halo 3 was largely responsible for this, but that doesn't make it any less impressive – the Xbox 360 actually outsold the Wii in September. Neither the PlayStation 3 nor Xbox 360 was close to doing so in any recent month.
Here are the hardware numbers for September (August numbers in parentheses):
- Xbox 360 – 527,800 (276,700)
- Wii – 501,000 (403,600)
- PlayStation 3 – 119,000 (130,600)
- PlayStation 2 – 215,000 (202,000)
- Nintendo DS – 495,800 (383,300)
- PlayStation Portable – 284,500 (151,200)
Considering this period was longer than August's, it isn't surprising to see the Wii make a jump from just over 400k all the way up to 500k, but that's still a mind blowing number. There wasn't a single big release on the Wii in all of September, yet it pushed half a million units. The same can be said about the DS, which had a tremendous month. You could even include the PSP in this discussion; nearly 300k is nothing to sneeze at, even if it does pale in comparison to the DS.
The Xbox 360 is self explanatory, and just goes to show you what a game like Halo 3 – combined with a $10 million marketing campaign – will do for you.
The PlayStation 3's drop is a tad surprising, given the release of Heavenly Sword and the various sports games surrounding September. Potential buyers were perhaps enveloped in the Halo 3 marketing campaign to end all campaigns? That seems likely, as the Xbox 360 made a lot of noise in both August and September between the superior version of Madden, BioShock, and Halo 3. PlayStation 3, on the other hand, more or less sat idly by. We'll have to see in the coming months what impact the holiday season and price drop will have.

2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 small plastic resealable bag(s)
Unroll the bread dough and cut it into thirds.
Roll each piece of dough into a long thin strand, about 18-20 inches.
Braid the strands and then shape them into a circle.
Place the bread dough on an ungreased baking sheet.
Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk, then brush it over the dough.
Unwrap and chop 12 of the SNICKERS Miniatures.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar and chopped SNICKERS Miniatures on the top of the dough and then set aside in a warm area until it doubles in size, about 1-1/2 hours.
In a preheated 350� oven, bake the bread dough for 45 minutes, or until it sounds hollow and is brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioner's sugar, remaining 1 tablespoon of milk and vanilla. Place it in a resealable plastic bag, snip one corner, and then drizzle it over the bread wreath.
Decorate the wreath by randomly dotting it with M&M'S.
To make the holly leaves, select and unwrap 3 green STARBURST Fruit Chews and microwave them for 5 seconds.
Mold the candy together and then roll it into one thin strip. Using the tip of a sharp knife, cut the candy into small holly leaf shapes.
Arrange two or three leaves together on the wreath.

Acer Iconia A1 7.9" Tabletby Jarred Walton on May 3, 2013 10:54 PM EST
Continuing with the spate of Acer announcements from today, next up we have the Iconia A1 Tablet. Details on the SoC are a bit scarce, but it's listed as a quad-core 1.2GHz 28nm MT8389W MediaTek chip (with MT6167 for 3G); MediaTek has used PowerVR SGX 544 previously, but it's not clear which GPU is in the MT8389W. Regardless, the 1024x768 LCD resolution doesn't need a ton of graphics power for moderate gaming, so hopefully the GPU will prove sufficient.
Acer makes a point of calling the A1 a "one-handed" tablet, suggesting that the smaller size than traditional tablets makes it more usable with a single hand. Dimensions of the A1 measure 208.7mm x 145.7mm x 11.1mm and with a weight of 410g (WiFi only; 430g for 3G) it's reasonably light, but we've seen other 7" tablets so this is nothing really new.
Other features of note are the IPS XGA LCD, 1GB DDR3L RAM, 8GB/16GB eMMC storage, 0.3MP (640x480) front-facing camera, 5MP rear-facing camera (with 1080p30 video support), microSD slot with support for up to 32GB, Micro USB 2.0, Micro HDMI, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11b/g/n, and an 18.6Wh battery with up to eight hours of battery life. The A1 ships with Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean).
The Iconia A1-810 with 16GB will be available in June with an MSRP of $200.

TWF Preps for Latin America Launch
Press Release from Animation Collective
THUMB WRESTLING FEDERATION: TWF, the wildly popular kids' TV series, continues to wrestle its way through Latin America, announcing today that it has picked up a new team of broadcasters. TWF will be hitting the airwaves on Cadena Tres in Mexico, RedeTV! in Brazil, Telemundo in Puerto Rico, America TV in Peru, Televisora Hondurena in Honduras, Red Uno in Bolivia, and Ecuavisa in Ecuador. TWF has already found success in Latin America on Cartoon Network, where it will continue to air.
THUMB WRESTLING FEDERATION is produced by New York based Animation Collective and distributed in Latin America by Televix Entertainment. With four seasons completed and a fifth season currently in production, TWF has quickly become a global brand, airing on Cartoon Network in the US, BBC in the UK, and YTV in Canada.
"Over the four seasons of THUMB WRESTLING FEDERATION that are currently airing, we've seen that the more kids are exposed to the property, the greater their demand for it is," said Larry Schwarz, CEO of Animation Collective and creator of TWF. "These additional broadcast partners will enable us to connect to more fans across Latin America."
The series also airs on Cartoon Network feeds throughout Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. TWF consumer products, ranging from toys to t-shirts and socks to sticker albums, are already available in multiple territories, and will be making their way to Latin America this year.

Reconfirmations without objections
Elizabeth Cutler
- Blurb will be installed Tuesday ;)
I'm "adopting" this one from the list of problematic FA on the talk page. I have no current opinion about the article - other than the fact that it might be a little too short for nowadays standards and that its FA status might have had to do with the early demise of the actress at the time. -- Cid Highwind 13:12, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Support. Short isn't a reason to remove FA status as long as the article meets the criteria, and I don't think why it was nominated matters all that much either in that case, though you're probably right in that regard Cid. In case anyone wants to take a look at the reasoning for the problematic listing, it can be found here, along with the original nomination. Also, we do already have a blurb for this one. ;) - Archduk3 16:54, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Support for very much the same reasons Duke stated. I like the easy readability of a "tertiary" semi-regular and frankly do not care why it was nominated as a FA...It is all there as far as I can discern, so for that matter I cast my vote...The one ,very minor thing, I've problem with is the placement of the Insignia thumb, c'mon that can be placed better--Sennim 18:48, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose'. The bg info seems currently quite lacking. I do have an issue of Star Trek: Communicator in which Kellie Waymire discusses the role, so I'll try to add info from that soon(ish!). --Defiant 01:11, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, take your time. Thanks to your "oppose", this is now in need of a full treatment, anyway - so we'll just remove its FA status if "soonish" isn't fast enough. -- Cid Highwind 10:39, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Is that meant to be sarcastic?! I'm not the only one with a computer, etc., and the Communicator magazine is publicly available! --Defiant 14:22, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Is that meant to be a rhetorical question? --Defiant 14:43, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- No, it's not. I'm saying provide a link if it is, if it isn't, not everyone is going to have that information, and since it's out of print I don't know where one could go get it. Simply asking for time to add that information, which people use to do quite a lot once, is far better than opposing an article over missing information only you and a few others have access to, especially if you're not sure of the content, plan to add it shortly (or don't plan to add it at all yourself), and don't want to spend the time polling other users to provided the other three support votes now needed. - Archduk3 14:53, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- In all honesty, you make very little sense to me. Anyways, I've now added the info. The oppose was only ever temporary; sorry if I didn't completely spell that out! I'm happy to remove the momentary oppose now which, as you can see from the above, I have done. --Defiant 15:29, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Have you even read the reconfirmation policy? Do you understand that YOU have complicated this process for something as small as a few hours? You haven't even answered my question, so I'm just going to assume that the Communicator isn't publicly available, and that you have no idea what you've done. - Archduk3 23:29, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- And all that for so little gain, too. I'm not sure how having a ton of quotes by the actress, basically stating something along the lines of "Nobody knew where this character was going to go - not me, and surely not the writers." is supposed to make the article better, or more complete for that matter. I'm not even sure all of that really belongs there instead of, for example, the article about Kellie Waymire herself. -- Cid Highwind 23:51, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not really interested in your tantrums, guys. It's obviously too hard for you to face the truth – that I've improved the article, by making the bg info somewhat more substantial than just a few lines. I have indeed read through the reconfirmation policy, and I find nothing that vetoes what I've done. If there were, it'd probably be the policy at fault, since a policy that doesn't allow for improvements and further developments where they are warranted likely wouldn't be a very good policy! --Defiant 02:13, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
- This isn't a tantrum, this is you clearly not understanding the policy or what is being said, so I hope this article is able to find another three support votes now that you felt the need to "improve" it by making it harder to reconfirm for no fraking reason, and can't even be bothered to support it yourself. - Archduk3 02:20, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Calm down; it's only a lame Star Trek site! ;) You're also assuming a lot; I have no problem with adding a support vote for this article. In fact, I thought I did that earlier, but I guess I forgot. And I'm willing to do anything I can to help find the required 2 other support votes. But further developing an article and raising its quality should never be frowned down upon; that's just silliness. It shouldn't be about just getting the article through the reconfirmation process ASAP, but finding ways to improve the articles and make them as good as possible, damn the consequences! --Defiant 02:38, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Back on topic: I have a few concerns about the article. First, as Cid alluded to, some of the quotes added are more appropriate to Kellie Waymire rather than here. In particular, I suggest that everything in the first paragraph of bg info should be moved there. However, I think the other two paragraphs are fine as they are relevant to the character.
- Second, the sentence "Cutler wore a rank insignia of a crewman (first class) on her uniform." at the end of "Professional life" doesn't really connect to the rest of the article. It's also a weird way to state that she had that rank. Somewhere towards the beginning of the article it should simply state that Cutler's rank was Crewman (first class). The accompanying picture should then be ditched, since this is an article about Cutler, not "Crewman (first class)". Other than that, I think this is a pretty solid article on a minor character, and I will support this if these two concerns are addressed.–Cleanse ( talk | contribs ) 02:53, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Indeed, I don't think it'll be as hard to pass this through the reconfirm process than some have made out. --Defiant 03:03, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
- You'll excuse me if I'm a little upset with the fact we have nearly 140 articles to go though and the only means of expediting that process was removed for the sake of less than 12 hours of "breathing room" that wasn't even needed. Opposing an article on those grounds in unconstructive, since as I've said simply asking for the time would have sufficed. If that needs to spelled out in the policy, it can be, but I would have expected long time users to keep the big picture in mind and not require an excessive amount of instruction. If Defaint is so ready to better these articles, he can start start a reconfirmation himself. It be nice if we could all work on the overall solution as well as the articles themselves. I'm not "frowning upon" why you did it, I'm frowning upon how you did it.
- As for removing the section and moving the rank info, I agree. - Archduk3 05:35, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Support --Pseudohuman 06:43, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
- Support - I think this article deserves the featured status. Tom 19:42, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
Thy'lek Shran
Thy'lek Shran was an Andorian commander in the Imperial Guard in the 2150s. Despite his aggressive and xenophobic background, Shran became an unlikely ally of Starfleet Captain Jonathan Archer and a proponent of strengthened ties between Andoria and Earth.
Shran first encountered Archer in June of 2151, when Shran led a raid on the Vulcan monastery at P'Jem in search of a clandestine sensor array which they believed the Vulcans were using to spy on Andorian territories. Captain Archer, along with Tucker and T'Pol, accidentally stumbled into the confrontation while on a courtesy visit to the Vulcan monks. During an ensuing firefight, an advanced subspace sensor array was discovered, proving the Andorians were right. As a gesture of peace, Archer gave Shran sensor readings and images of the facility and allowed him to leave freely.
Later that year, Shran was assigned to an Andorian covert ops unit supporting an uprising on Coridan. To repay his debt to Archer from their first encounter, he assisted in Archer and T'Pol's escape from the planet after they were imprisoned as rebels. In 2152, Shran was commanding ground forces deployed to Weytahn, where Vulcan and Andorian commandos had been fighting for control of the planet. Shran sought to negotiate a truce with Vulcan ambassador Soval and requested Captain Archer serve as mediator. The negotiations were ultimately successful and a cease fire was arranged.
This article was nominated back in June 2004. I did some formatting to bring it up to modern conventions (such as sub-headings, behaviour of the appearance list etc.) and added some background information from actor Jeffery Combs which I think gives some interesting insight into the character. All in all, I think the article stands up well, and deserves to retain its featured status.–Cleanse ( talk | contribs ) 05:49, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
- Support–Cleanse ( talk | contribs ) 05:49, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
- Support. Also, here's a link to the blurb template: {{FA/Thy'lek Shran}}. - Archduk3 16:00, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
Babel One (episode)
"Babel One" was the 12th episode of the fourth season of Star Trek: Enterprise.
On the bridge of the Andorian warship Kumari, Commander Shran crawls out from under the wreckage of his damaged ship which has been attacked by a Tellarite vessel. He attempts to contact Imperial Command, but communications are down. The computer announces a warp containment breach in two minutes, leaving Shran no other choice but to order the crew to abandon ship, vowing to make the Tellarites pay for the loss of Kumari.
In Captain Archer's quarters aboard Enterprise, Archer and Hoshi Sato roleplay that Sato is a Tellarite ambassador, in preparation for the real ambassador's arrival. They discuss the Tellarites' frequent arguing and Sato tells the captain to keep Porthos out of sight during their stay, as they consider canine a delicacy.
One of the "problematic" featured articles that was nominated, withdrawn, and renominated all within a week in February 2005. The nomination can be seen here. I don't currently have any opinion on the article as it is now, since I haven't had time to completely read it. - Archduk3 16:25, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Neosorium was a material usually present in components based in Federation technology.
In 2371, B'Elanna Torres realized that the presence of neosorium in a Kazon raider indicated that a radiation accident was caused by Federation technology when the Kazon were trying to develop replicator from specifications passed by Seska. (VOY: "State of Flux")

In an interesting pairing, "Juno" writer Diablo Cody has teamed up with Oprah Winfrey on a comedy project in development at HBO, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Based on Dr. Julie Holland's upcoming book "Moody Bitches: The Truth About the Drugs You're Taking, the Sex You're Not Having, The Sleep You're Missing and What's Really Making You Crazy," the untitled potential series will look at the up and down sides to the prescriptions so many people are on.
Series creator Cody will write the script and executive produce alongside Winfrey and her Harpo Films production banner, which has a development deal with HBO. Its other projects at the premium network include "These Things Happen," a family comedy based on the novel of the same name by Richard Kramer, and a drama from Thomas Bradshaw about the first African American president of a small liberal arts college.

Cody explored not dissimilar territory in terms of mental health in her Showtime series "United States of Tara." She's got several projects at various networks, including a pilot for TBS talk show "Me Time With Diablo Cody," and wrote two episodes of Rob Corddry's "Childrens Hospital." Her film directorial debut "Paradise" opened in theaters last month.
Holland also wrote "Weekends at Bellevue: Nine Years on the Night Shift at the Psych ER," which was adapted into an unsuccessful pilot at Fox in 2011.

Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. And Eli Lilly And Company Launch Educational Campaign About Emerging Science In Type 2 Diabetes
RIDGEFIELD, Conn. and INDIANAPOLIS, May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced the launch of an educational campaign designed to provide healthcare professionals (HCPs) with a greater understanding of the role sodium glucose co-transporters (SGLTs) play in maintaining blood sugar balance, or glucose homeostasis. 1 The SGLT disease education initiative features the microsite www.SGLT.com and a short dynamic educational video, Glucose Perspectives, in the form of sketch animation by the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA). Additional learning options will be offered throughout the year for HCPs to learn more about SGLTs and their role in glucose homeostasis.A chronic condition, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is characterized by persistent high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). 2 The inability to maintain normal blood sugar balance is due either to an inability to respond properly to the hormone insulin, also known as insulin resistance, or to inadequate amounts of insulin in the body as a result of impaired beta-cell function, or a combination of the two. SGLTs act to ensure glucose entering the kidneys finds its way back into the bloodstream instead of being passed in the urine. 3 Nearly all of the filtered glucose is reabsorbed in the kidneys by sodium glucose co-transporters 1 and 2, with SGLT2 accounting for about 90 percent of this re-absorption. 3 In people with T2D, persistent hyperglycemia can lead to increased re-absorption of glucose through SGLT2. 1 This means more glucose is being reabsorbed into the blood in a continuous action, which perpetuates hyperglycemia and worsens beta-cell function and insulin resistance. "The contribution of insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell function in the physiopathology of type 2 diabetes mellitus has been extensively studied," said Christophe Arbet-Engels, MD, PhD, vice president, metabolic-clinical development and medical affairs, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. "The contributing role of persistently high glucose levels in the progression of type 2 diabetes has led to the need for a better understanding of how glucose is reabsorbed by the kidneys. The Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly Diabetes alliance is very pleased to offer healthcare professionals an educational resource they can use at their convenience to gain greater knowledge of this process." About DiabetesApproximately 25.8 million Americans 4 and an estimated 371 million people worldwide 5 have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. T2D is the most common type, accounting for an estimated 90 percent of all diabetes cases. 4 Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body either does not properly produce, or use, the hormone insulin. 2 Diabetes was estimated to cost the U.S. $245 billion in 2012. 6 Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and CompanyIn January 2011, Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company announced an alliance in the field of diabetes that centers on three pipeline compounds representing several of the largest treatment classes. This alliance leverages the companies' strengths as two of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, combining Boehringer Ingelheim's solid track record of research-driven innovation and Lilly's innovative research, experience, and pioneering history in diabetes. By joining forces, the companies demonstrate commitment in the care of patients with diabetes and stand together to focus on patient needs. Find out more about the alliance at www.boehringer-ingelheim.com or www.lilly.com. About Boehringer IngelheimBoehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., based in Ridgefield, CT, is the largest U.S. subsidiary of Boehringer Ingelheim Corporation ( Ridgefield, CT) and a member of the Boehringer Ingelheim group of companies. The Boehringer Ingelheim group is one of the world's 20 leading pharmaceutical companies. Headquartered in Ingelheim, Germany, it operates globally with 140 affiliates and more than 46,000 employees. Since it was founded in 1885, the family-owned company has been committed to researching, developing, manufacturing and marketing novel medications of high therapeutic value for human and veterinary medicine. As a central element of its culture, Boehringer Ingelheim has a demonstrated commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Okay, maybe fun is a bit of a stretch. Maybe a better word would be tolerable.
For most people, the yearly financial process Jason and I go through sounds about as much fun as dental drilling. Here's how we keep our financial discussions from becoming a drag.
- Come prepared, and stay on point. Some of our best ideas are tangents, but we try to stay on task and not stray far or for long. Try to have all the stuff you need in one place (calculator, notepad, financial docs) so you don't waste half the time you have looking for a missing mortgage statement. We try to wrap up pretty quickly, especially with the shorter sit-downs we're trying this year.
- Make notes. Whether on a notebook next to you or on a computer, keep notes of questions, things you need to discuss further, or who needs to make what call when. Our financial discussions often end in questions that can be answered with further research by one of us, or in action items in the form of calls to make. Trying to remember this stuff is a waste of time, in my opinion. Notes are where it's at.
- Bring your favorite beverage and a fun snack. Buy a bottle of wine, your favorite hot cocoa, make a juice spritzer, and make some guacamole or flavored hummus to snack on. Food and beverages make social gatherings easier, so why not budgeting?
- Keep it light. Jason doesn't like money, and talking about it and reviewing our budget is historically very stressful for him. This year he has seemed a lot more relaxed, and I think it's because I've tried to crack jokes, sit close to him and hold his hand or put my hand on his leg, and make the whole process as pleasant for him as possible. Some people are rolling their eyes here, but I paid enough attention in Psych101 to know that if he associates money discussions with pleasant things, he'll have a better feeling about money discussions in general.
- Do what works. Maybe one 3-hour session is all you need. Maybe you prefer 5 evenings spread out over a month, or even two months. Whatever works best for you, do it. If you're financial discussion process isn't working, stop doing it and try a different way.
Maybe you and your partner love money and this process makes your skirt fly up. But if one of you doesn't like money, or you're new to financial discussions, it can be useful to put a little thought into how to make it as pleasant as possible.
Do you have intentional financial discussions with your partner, or do you fly by the seat of your pants?

The survey is available via the official FarmVille Fan Page on Facebook, and it comes with concept art for some of the items that we could expect to find in an underwater farm (seen above). This leads us to believe that the survey is more of a preview than anything, as it's unlikely Zynga would pour this many resources into creating Atlantean items only to scrap them if the survey answers turned negative.
Still, the survey asks players how interested players are in an Atlantis-themed farm, as well as about technicalities concerning underwater play. That is, would we like to see all kinds of trees and animals in this underwater world, or should the game limit the use of land items, as that's simply not realistic? You can find the complete survey by clicking right here, and stay tuned to find out whether this Atlantean farm becomes anything more than a preview.

At Artefact, we believe that design can play an important role in helping achieve better health outcomes. By aligning contexts to experiences, building deeper connections between patients and their caregivers, and surfacing clear paths to better decisions, we can improve the life and care of the more than 130 million Americans who live with a chronic condition.
Dialog is a concept designed to help people with epilepsy gain a deeper understanding of their condition and make better decisions about their care. It gives them an easier way to manage triggers and thresholds, while it empowers them to use assistance from family caregivers, first responders, and clinicians as needed.
Dialog consists of a wearable module that collects a range of meaningful data about the patient and her environment, while a smartphone app provides the patient with insights into the factors that trigger events or lower thresholds.
The platform can connect to the person's family and caregivers or even educate bystanders in cases of emergency. The easy, lightweight data input lets the patient log key information about her condition and subtle notifications help the patient respond better.
Dialog aims to help people with the condition live their lives to the fullest.
"I like the idea a lot of a smaller, simple device which is connected to you... This is about your health, that should not be lost in everyday social life on a phone." Jody R., Person with epilepsy
"Parents of kids with epilepsy take notes about their child and then bring in the notes and ask me 'Is this the trigger that caused the seizure?' With this concept we can help answer that question." Dr. Edward Novotny, Epilepsy Program Director at Seattle Children's Hospital
"Designers often talk about doing good, but Artefact actually backs it up." Kyle Vanhemert, WIRED, March 13, 2014
"An iWatch for epileptics, with a brilliant UI...Even Jony Ive would approve." John Brownlee, Fast Company's Co.Design, March 11, 2014
Living with epilepsy is more than responding to seizures. How can we give people with this condition a sense of control in all aspects of their life?
In the U.S. alone, nearly 3 million people live with epilepsy, 50,000 die from epilepsy-related cause each year. It affects more people than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson's combined. Yet current solutions fail to address more than one aspect of the condition, or are so cumbersome to use that they become a constant reminder of the condition that defines the person's life.
Design thinking and new technologies like miniature biometric and environmental sensors, low energy draw displays, and flexible printed circuit boards allow us to build innovative solutions that make managing and living with complex conditions easier.
Dialog gives people a sense of control in all aspects of their life by helping them:
- Learn about their condition and answer the question of what causes seizures.
- Be warned and prepare for seizures before they happen.
- Remember to take their medications.
- Get more informed support from family caregivers and first responders.
- Collaborate better with their physicians based on comprehensive biometric and environmental data.
Dialog helps people with epilepsy achieve a deeper understanding and make better decisions about their condition. By considering all stages of epilepsy—pre-event, event, recovery, and living—we were able to design a solution that impacts the entire experience of living with epilepsy, not just one aspect of it.
Dialog enables natural, frictionless time stamping of seizure onset and auras via a wearable module that is discreet and responds to intuitive gesture interactions. The platform allows the patient and family caregiver to report on observable symptoms, as well as other relevant activities and events. This is collected along with key biometric and environmental data. Over time, patients have access to a log of aggregate and multi-dimensional data that allows them to learn from past experiences and make decisions in the moment.
The wearable module can detect changes in threshold and can communicate to the patient or her caregivers, so that they can get to a safe setting or take preventative actions to prepare for the seizure.
During a sustained seizure, the Dialog bystander app notifies nearby first responders and gives them instructions on how to help the person through the emergency. It also provides a direct line of communication to the family caregiver. The settings of the apps are configured by the patient, giving them flexibility and control over the extent to which they engage caregivers or bystanders.
After a seizure, the Dialog patient app refers the patient to key contextual data to help reorient them and fill in any cognitive gaps from the event.
Finally, Dialog features a flexible form factor, giving the patient the opportunity to wear it in a way that fits with her lifestyle. The different gesture interactions, together with the flexible adhesive form factor, allow the patient to wear the device and easily input data even when placed under clothes. A bracelet form factor is for patients who would embrace the opportunity to feel special and proud.
Dialog is a promise, but the technology components that could make it a reality are not far on the horizon. Most are currently being developed, prototyped, and tested.
The flexible, thin patch can be worn on the body or attached to a wristband for easy, discreet time stamping and data input.
The interaction language on the wearable module uses different gestures to signify different inputs and outputs, making entering data as a seamless part of the flow of everyday life.
Big Grasp
Calls 911 when the patient is experiencing a seizure.
Double Tap
Allows the patient to mark the start of a big or small aura.
Haptic Feedback
Draws attention to the screen for medication reminders.
Small Gesture
Allows the patient to indicate her mood.
Detailed reporting that delivers insights from multi-dimensional data
The Dialog patient and family caregiver apps provide an easy way to interpret logs of observable symptoms and overlay that with data about relevant events and activities, providing rich insights over time of factors that may change thresholds or trigger events.
Better insights, better treatment
By making logging of self-reported data effortless and discreet and integrating it with biometric and environmental data, Dialog allows the patient to collect data that can help him understand his condition better and have deeper, more productive discussions with his physician about medications and threshold management. "Being able to see the constellation of changes in a big data set would be a huge advantage," one clinician told us.
Early Warnings
Dialog communicates to the patient or family caregivers the potential onset of a seizure so that the patient can proactively get to a safe setting or take any preventative action possible to prepare for the seizure.
Flexible wearing styles
Different wearing styles, as a patch on the body or a bracelet on the wrist, allow the patient to determine where to place the device, depending on how discrete they want to be. This flexibility takes into account the person's emotional needs and how she manages her condition.
Support when needed the most
Dialog communicates to the patient or family caregivers the potential onset of a seizure so that the patient can proactively get to a safe setting or take any preventative action possible to prepare for the seizure. In cases of emergency, a bystander app provides first responders with instructions on how to help the patient.
A glimpse of a possible reality
The components that can make a concept like Dialog possible are already being developed and tested. Creating innovative experiences that help people understand and manage their conditions better will empower them to live better lives and that is creating a preferable health outcome by design.
Beyond Epilepsy
According to the Center for Disease Control, chronic conditions are by far the leading cause of mortality in the world, representing 63% of all deaths. In the United States alone, 75% of adults aged 65 and older are living with a chronic condition such as heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease, and diabetes. Chronic disease accounts for $3 in every $4 of health spending in the U.S. The issue however is not just prevention, mortality, and cost. It is about an approach to care that allows people to live as freely as possible despite chronic conditions.
We decided to focus on epilepsy because we wanted to explore a solution that can improve the patient experience for one of the most complex, unpredictable, and misunderstood conditions. Ultimately, our approach to building deeper connections and driving better decisions in the context of the patients' lives can be applied to multiple chronic illnesses.
Understanding the condition
Our first step was to build empathy with the people that live with epilepsy and their caregivers, so we could identify the priorities for which we needed to design.
Innovation workshop
In the process of ideation, we kept the solution as form-independent as long as possible, so we could hone in on the right user needs without being restrained by a form factor.
Design within constraints
We explored different form factors aiming to come up with the perfect balance among physical fit and comfort, data quality, and the emotional needs of the patient.
Concept validation
We went back to our target audiences–patient, family caregivers, and clinicians—to validate our decisions and obtain feedback that allowed us to fine tune Dialog.

Although getting a bit older is something that adults would look forward to – no children to worry about too much, travelling or retiring in a peaceful and quiet house by the beach – it must not be forgotten that with an increase in one's age also comes an increase in a whole lot of other problems, particularly health-related ones.
However, beyond the illnesses and diseases that often come with old age, there is a whole lot of other aspect that many people, especially couples, are worried about. It has been found that many relationships, especially between people as early as in their 40s, suffer due to the decrease in libido and sexual drive.
It's a bit ironic isn't it? After years of raising a family, you finally get the kids out of the house and have some time to yourselves and…the flame seems like its just burnt out. This isn't necessarily the result of your feelings toward your partner, but is often the result of physiological changes in your hormone imbalance which inhibit both your libido and your ability to engage in happy and healthy sexual activity.
How does this occur? One's sexual drive is often affected with the blood flow in the body. Due to the decrease in energy levels, the heart generally pumps blood at a slower rate or at a smaller volume among older people. Since many sexual organs are dependent in the oxygen that is delivered throughout the body through the bloodstream, one's sexual performance becomes greatly affected.
HGH and Increasing One's Sex Drive
How exactly does supplementing HGH in the body help in improving one's sexual drive – and ultimately their sexual performance?
One of the many important roles that HGH plays in the body is that it helps keep the cells active and strong, including those in the heart. As the heart's vitality and strength improves, it is able to pump back more blood throughout the body, helping to improve the function of one's sexual organs. In the process, a person's libido is increased, a man's arousal is sustained at a longer time and vaginal dryness during intercourse among women is prevented.
Human growth hormone therapy can also go a long way to improve an individual's self-perception. HGH improves body composition and increases energy, making many men and women more happy with themselves and more ready for a healthy and productive sex life. HGH has also been shown to improve mood and psychological balance at the physiological level.
There are also many other ways that HGH supplements can help a person in terms of sexual performance. For example, HGH helps a lot in the regeneration of tissues and cells – and, in the process, in the development of the muscles. As a result, a person does not only experience a better performance in bed in the sexual but even in the physical aspect. Surely, with one's sex drive increased, like that of younger people, so will the need to have a stronger and fit body to cope with it.
Starting Your Own HGH Therapy
If you are growing older and you find that your interest in sex is waning, or that you are experiencing issues related to erectile dysfunction or general sexual dysfunction, hormone replacement therapy can help. Both HGH therapy and Testosterone therapy have been shown to improve sexual stamina, libido, and performance. Testosterone is the primary sexual hormone for both sexes, but growth hormone is very important as well.
If you want to experience the combination of both physical and sexual performance improvements – and continue to please your partners even with your age – then start on a co-created HGH therapy now. Do so by contacting the HGH Medical Group. Call us now at 1-800-688-9673 or fill out the form being provided at the right side of this page.
With our help, we can get you back in the saddle, and help you take the meaningful steps to improve your sex life, as well as your relationship with your partner.

New stop signs in northeast RutlandMay 03,2013Northeast gets
new stop signs
Rutland Police want motorists to be aware of new stop signs in the citys northeast neighborhood.
The first is at the North Street Extension and Thrall Avenue intersection, which police say is now a three-way stop.
Another three-way stop has been created at the intersection of Church Hill Road and Hillside Road, police said.
Failure to stop at a stop sign carries a fine of $214 and two points on a drivers license.
Police are also reminding motorists that the posted speed limit in residential and business areas in the city not including Route 4 and Route 7 is 30 mph. In a school zone, the speed limit is 25 mph all year long.
Using side streets as shortcuts is not a time saver, police added, and deteriorates the quality of life in those neighborhoods by adding unnecessary traffic.MORE IN This Just In

Chimps attack American at South Africa sanctuary
Saturday, June 30, 2012
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Chimpanzees at a sanctuary founded by famed primatologist Jane Goodall pulled a Texas graduate student into their fenced-off enclosure, dragging him nearly a half-mile and biting his ear and hands.
Andrew F. Oberle was giving a lecture to a group of tourists at the Chimp Eden sanctuary on Thursday when two chimpanzees grabbed his feet and pulled him under a fence into their enclosure, said Jeffrey Wicks of the Netcare911 emergency services company.
The 26-year-old anthropology student at the University of Texas at San Antonio suffered "multiple and severe bite wounds," Wicks said.
He was in critical condition Friday after undergoing surgery at the Mediclinic hospital in Nelspruit, 180 miles from Johannesburg, hospital officials said.
Oberle, who was doing research at the sanctuary, had crossed the first of two fences separating the chimpanzees from visitors and was standing close to the second fence, which is electrified, at the time of the attack, said Edwin Jay, chairman of the Jane Goodall Institute South Africa.
The sanctuary was temporarily closed after the attack, said David Oosthuizen, the institute's executive director.
"The safety of our visitors and staff is paramount," he said. "We have never had an incident like this, and we have closed the sanctuary to investigate how we can ensure it will not happen again."
Oberle lost part of an ear and parts of his fingers in the attack, according to the South African newspaper Beeld. The sanctuary's manager, Eugene Cussons, fired into the air to scare the chimps away from Oberle, then chased them back into their enclosure. Cussons is the host of Animal Planet's "Escape to Chimp Eden."
Oberle's mother, Mary Flint of St. Louis, said her son has been in South Africa since May working with chimpanzees, which have been "his passion" since seventh grade, when he watched a film about Jane Goodall.
She said her son knew the risks of working with chimps and would not want them blamed for the attack.
"The last thing he would do is blame a chimp for this. He adored them," she said. "Since he was a little boy he just loved them, and I just have faith that ... when all is said and done, he's going to go right back into it."
The two chimpanzees were placed in their night enclosure after the attack and will be held there pending the investigation, Jay said.
Steve Ross, an ape expert at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo, said chimpanzees are "naturally a fairly violent species, naturally aggressive, very interested in things like power and hierarchy."
Even researchers who understand their power, "sometimes just relax a little bit," Ross said. "And you can never relax with these chimps. They are so unbelievably fast, strong, and they're always looking for an opportunity."

FishTALES: 200-pound ray strikes tourist in Keys
The Hausch family of Illinois was enjoying an eco-tour boat ride on Friday afternoon in the waters off Islamorada when the 200-pound spotted eagle ray with a 5.5-foot wing span that they were photographing leaped into their boat and struck Jenny Hausch in the chest, reports the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
"She was not harmed and managed to get out from under it," said Officer Robert Dube of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Hausch was with her husband and three kids when the incident happened.
After the ray landed on Hausch, the family's screams summoned a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission team that was patrolling nearby. The officers waited for the ray to wear itself out before tying a rope around it and pulling it into the water, where it swam away.

SANTA ANA – An issue not on the Santa Ana City Council agenda dominated the first meeting of 2013 – the future of City Manager Paul M. Walters.
Spurred by phone calls, news stories and blog posts, some two dozen residents, as well as business and labor leaders, spoke to the council Monday to voice their support for Walters, the city's former police chief who was appointed to the post of city manager seven months ago. At one point, about 75 to 100 stood up in the council chamber in a show of support.
The issue arose in a special meeting - a closed-session performance evaluation - called two days after Christmas by a majority of the council that included David Benavides, Vincent F. Sarmiento, Sal Tinajero and Michele Martinez.
Council members call it an opportunity to communicate their vision of the city with staff and to clear the air. Some see it as a way to shake up the culture at City Hall, where a longtime mayor, Miguel Pulido, has established equally long working relationships with Walters and other staff.
Some members of the community, though, are concerned that the council is looking for a way to replace Walters, who gained popularity as police chief and respect for having helped guide the city last year through a fiscal crisis. They took their concerns to the special meeting in December, and redoubled their efforts again on Monday.
Raul Luna, who served as a Santa Ana police sergeant and as a district director to Rep. Loretta Sanchez, spoke Monday.
"The last I heard Paul Walters was being recognized for his leadership and keeping the city afloat and now this," he said. "If what I hear is true, I urge each and every one of you to reevaluate your options, not based on a short-term vision, but by considering the well-being of our neighborhoods and business community in adopting a long-term vision with Paul Walters as city manager."
Cherie Kerr, who owns a public relations business in Santa Ana, made a second appearance before the council to support Walters.
"He has devoted himself to the city for 40 years," she said. "With Paul, it's never been about power or ego, but service."
Resident Francisco Barragan, who said he respected Walters, told the council that he had heard the mayor called people, saying that the council was considering getting rid of the city manager.
If no decision had been made, Barragan said, "it's an unfair characterization." If the issue came up in executive session, he said, the mayor violated his duty to keep the information confidential until it was appropriate to release it.
In an interview, he said he had overheard the mayor, on a cellphone call Sunday, telling someone to show up because council members wanted to remove Walters.
At least three council members – Martinez, Tinajero and Sarmiento – said they were concerned about a potential violation of the Brown Act, the state's open meeting law that calls for personnel issues to be discussed in closed sessions, as well as the city charter.
If that took place, Sarmiento said afterward, "I believe the mayor must be reminded and admonished about the danger of disclosing confidential information to blogs, or any other third parties."
Tinajero said there was a "very serious possibility" that the mayor violated the law. "What we witnessed should not be something that happens in our chambers," he said. "I know for a fact he was contacting people to come out. I know because people told me." He said that the evaluation process would continue, likely in two weeks.
Martinez said she would seek a resolution that the mayor had violated the law.
"I think it's absurd that people believe this is political," she said. "It is at the discretion of the majority of the council to evaluate the city manager or any other employee that reports directly to the council. The city manager serves at the pleasure of the council."
The mayor after Monday's meeting contended he had done nothing to violate the law.
"I did not communicate anything to anybody," he said. "If I see a move to fire the city manager, who I believe is doing a wonderful job, I'm going to disagree with that. It's my prerogative and my duty to do what I can to save and protect the city manager ... I did get some calls and I did encourage some people, but these people are responding to what they're reading in the newspaper. They're concerned because they are supportive of Paul Walters. All the speakers who spoke today; no one can put any words in their mouths."
The council, on a 5-0 vote in June, hired Walters as its permanent city manager. He had served as interim city manager since May 2011. The council in closed session the month before unanimously directed the city attorney to prepare an employment agreement with Walters for the city manager position.
While council members say they admire Walters for his service to the city, they have also expressed concern over the past few months about what they see as deference to the mayor on the part of staff, when the council is made up of seven voting members.
"The reality is that maybe it's time to take a leap of faith and bring in new people who can lead the city in a new direction," said Martinez, who with Tinajero was absent for the June vote. She said that the city should have continued with a nationwide recruiting effort after the former city manager – David Ream – retired in 2011. Instead, she said that Pulido pushed the council to hire Walters.
"I was not very excited or happy that Miguel didn't want to do a nationwide search when we had the opportunity," Martinez said. "He forced Paul on us."
"We're all free to vote," Pulido said in response. "The council was free to vote before, and they're free to vote now."
Martinez and other council members say their intent in conducting the performance evaluation is to change the culture of City Hall.
"At the end of the day, all we're trying to do is to decentralize power and to give everyone the opportunity to have a voice," she said.
Like Martinez and others, Tinajero said he respects the work that Walters has done on the city's behalf.
"As a city manager and as a police chief, he's been very responsive," Tinajero said.
He said it's premature to say that the council is seeking to replace Walters, who under the terms of his contract was due for an evaluation in May 2013.
"Before you can do anything, everyone has to feel they are part of the organization. Once people have that perception, you can move forward," he said. "We're saying, 'Let's restructure how we do things in city. Let's give everyone a voice at the table.' ... If our administrators thrive and do well, we'll keep them. If they don't do well, we'll have to make assessments and adjustments."
A recent concern, he said, was a special meeting called in December with 24-hour notice to deal with a $56 million demand from the state in the wake of a state law that dissolved redevelopment agencies.
"We don't want to be told at the 12th hour that we got something from the state," Tinajero said. "We want to be given that information ahead of time, so that we as a council can be forward looking."
Absent from Monday's meeting were council members Benavides and Angelica Amezcua.
Replacing Walters won't come cheaply, if the council decides to fire him. The city charter calls for five votes on the council supporting a resolution to dismiss the city manager.
His contract allows for him to return to the position of police chief if he is fired as city manager. If he chooses not to return, he gets severance pay of one-year base salary – $265,000 – or three years and eight months of military service added to his retirement benefits. He gets to decide which.
Either way, he gets an estimated $100,000 in unused leave. If he is fired for cause – for facing criminal charges or not following the council's directives – he gets nothing.
