Last Updated: 9/2/13
For my thirtieth birthday, on 9/13/02, my mother bought me this mosaic pond. It came from American Pools and Fountains, Inc. which must have gone out of business as their web site is now on gambling! I have yet to bail it to determine the exact gallonage but it is about 20 gallons. It is supposed to be buried in the ground. The plug is an AC adapter that is huge and will not fit into my outdoor outlets so I am not sure to do about that. I am also not sure how to go about finding edging stones or rocks that will hide a circular pond formally. I welcome any suggestions. For now, this pond will stay inside until spring. The ground is rock solid from the worst drought in our recorded history, and I hope it is soaking wet next spring. I had seen this pond and loved the mosaic but would not buy it for myself as it was way too expensive. This pond is really for people to admire and not for plants or animals which would hide the mosaic. I might put a few small fish in it next year. We shall see!
It is 3/28/03, and I am thinking this pond should stay on the porch due to the outlet problem. I will probably not put in anything but maybe some guppies. Being in the shade of the porch, plants would not grow well.
I set this pond up on the porch on 4/2/03 on the front porch. It looks neat at night since it is lit up. There is no way to turn off the light if the pump is on.
I added four guppies (3 female, 1 male) on 4/12/03. They hide under the mosaic most of the time! I also put in a piece of mosquito dunk the week before but with the guppies in there, I probably will not need to add any more. Photos are on the guppy page. The poor guppies were found dead a few weeks later when I lifted the mosaic. It was apparently too cold for them. I will not add more fish. The pond become full of suspended algae despite being out of the sun, under the porch. I added an old copper sulfate algae killing block I got free but would never use in a pond with life in it. It took a few weeks, but since then, the pond has been clear due to the block. It is kind of boring with no plants or animals in the pond though!
My mother wanted fish in this pond so I put in a pair of paradise fish on 6/13/03. I added an old driftwood piece on slate and a large fake floating plant. I dumped the water, filled it 70% with 1800 gallon pond water, and the rest new water. I added the right amounts of salt, Stress-Coat, Stress- Zyme, aquari-sol, and MelaFix (the last two for a week). I fed them well. They promptly took up residence UNDER the fake mosaic. This pond is not meant for fish! They sneak out after dark only to eat. More on them is on my paradise fish page. They will come in in the fall when the pond comes in since they are semi-tropical fish. On 6/30/03, the male made a bubble nest! The female was egg-laden. Alas, the nest fell apart. I am sure they will try again. He did make many more nests, one every few days. On 7/19/03, I could have sworn I saw a fry in the pond but never saw one again. Maybe I hallucinated! Nope, I saw him again on 7/26/03 after cleaning the pond. I even held him in my water-filled hand! He is real! The fish has to be at least a few weeks old and was sluggish. I was worried the little one did not make it but again cleaned the pond and held him in my water-filled hand on 8/9/03. Now, I can see red and blue stripes so the baby is definitely a paradise fish! The raccoons have been taking the stuff out of this pond so if the fish had not been able to hide under the mosaic, they would be dead! So, I should not have complained about that!
On 9/20/03, I brought the three paradise inside for the season. I put them in my 5 gallon tank. [They stayed in there.]
On 3/27/04, I set the pond back up but with no life so far. The algae took over by 4/30/04 so time to clean! I used AlgaeFix, and it worked well. I was not sure yet what, if any, fish I might put in there this year.
On 6/6/04, I added two shubunkins to this pond to quarantine until fall. See my July 2004 Pond Newsletter for more details on them and how they were faring. On 7/11/04, I found one dead that had jumped out. I was upset. I netted the other one out and put him in my 1800 gallon pond before he too jumped.
On 4/2/05, I set the pond back up with no animals or plants, just empty.
Mosaic pond on 4/5/05.
I put the pond up on 10/2/05.
On 4/2/06, I set the pond up without any animals or plants again. I put it up that fall.

First Ramadan Single - what now?
August 28, 2008
Single Muslim Father. First Ramadan without wife to help make food in the morning or with 'fun' ideas for the kidlets. Help!
After 13 years of marriage, I find myself in the position of being single and having sole custody of my three children, and facing my first Ramadan.
We always had some traditions - decorations, etc. that we'd do. Now, half a year after the separation, and Ramadan is upon us.
I have no idea what to do to make Ramadan fun - honestly, after 13 years alone, I'm not sure how I'm going to get through this. What traditions can I start? What can I make for breakfasts for my kids (all under 11) that will fill them up, but not grind the morning to a halt?

Homemade Müesli? What did your wife or your mother prepare? Tell the kids it's a new, experimental Ramadan and that until you lot get it right, it's ok for them to have a snack if they're starving.

There are a good number of breakfast posts scattered around AskMe
from today on "unusual" breakfast is great: here's
answer suggesting rice and daal!
I don't know your family's schedule, but could you all pre-prepare some breakfast items together the night before, and then prepare/eat/clean up from breakfast all together? That would be a cool way to start the day.
Additionally, perhaps use this special time of year for you to throw yourself into getting to know each of your kids better than you do now. Spend more time helping with homework, remind them of the hilarious hijinks you've gotten up to in the past ("remember that time when X accidentally microwaved the silverware?!"), head off to a zoo/aquarium/science museum/baseball game, just be around as much as you can. They may also have more arguments and tantrum-type behavior if they're new to fasting (though you don't say if they
fasting), so be patient with them as they adjust to the new schedule and diet. You may also want to remember, and let the kids know, that drinking water is a great way to feel like you've consumed something but not actually done so; many cases of "hunger" in my body have been eliminated with a glass from the tap.
I'm not Muslim but I lived in Indonesia a few years back; Ramadan was a truly amazing time for my neighbors and friends. I hope the spirit of the season fills your home!

I'm not Muslim, but how do you mark dawn and dusk? Some Muslims I have known have used coloured ribbons outside (I live in a small enough town that you can have "naturally unlit" areas in your backyard, unlike the constant stream of streetlights in some parts of some cities) -- when you can distinguish the colours, it's "day," and when the colours are indistinguishable, it's "night". It could be fun for you and your kids to make special ribbons, change them out, draw on them (when you can't see the green Martian on the red background it's officially past dusk!), etc.
In terms of fun breakfasts, what about investing in a whole whack of oatmeal and then a vast array of dried fruits/nuts/other fun things to add? The kids can "build their own oatmeal" every morning.

Rice and daal is indeed a brilliant breakfast for a long day without food. I just wanted to add that it's very easy to make in a large batch and it freezes beautifully. I pour the daal straight into small resealable freezer bags and stick the bags straight in the freezer. That way breakfast is as simple as unwrapping the daal-brick and thawing it in the microwave.
I'm not Muslim, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that children aren't usually expected to fast during Ramadan (along with the elderly, sick and those who are traveling). Is true for your branch of Islam? Even if the kids have fasted in the past, you might want to consider a more limited 'symbolic' fast for them this time, at least while you're getting used to life in a single-dad family. Maybe they could give up snacks and eat simply during the day, and you could still 'break the fast' together at night.
I don't mean to diminish the religious importance of fasting, but given the timing of Ramadan this year the kids may have trouble getting through the school day if their breakfasts aren't quite up to scratch. If the kids don't
to fast, could your family focus instead on the spiritual and behavioural aspects of Ramadan this year?

Protein is what sustains you the longest. If you feed them anything carbohydrate, they are likely to crash after a short while. Meat, cheese, almonds and olives by candlelight sounds practically like a party to me right there. Do you have any cartoons on tape you can put on while you all sit and eat together? Something they'll enjoy? It might not be the most reverent way to observe... but are you going for reverent?

lots of great answers - I wish I could have marked them all as my favorites!
My daughter (now 9) has fasted for a few years, but never all 30 days (last year she missed 3).
With their mom gone, I think that all the kids want to ace this one. My youngest (7) is too young, so she'll do 'half days'. My eldest son is 11, so he'll be fine doing all of them.
We used to eat really carb rich protein rich foods for breakfast. ExWife would make food the night before, and warm it up in the morning while I woke up all the kids.
Now, it's all me, on my own.
I've been good for 6 months - pre-cooking meals, half-cooking, etc. Fresh breakfasts every morning. But now, for some reason, I'm freaking out, as if I'm just going to drop the ball.
I like the museli idea, the oatmeal idea. I thought about morrocan fool (beans), eggs/toast/etc... That should do, but I just don't want them to say "Dad - not such-and-such again!"
I also want this ramadan to kick butt because although I can't change the fact their mom is gone, I don't want them to remember their first ramadan without her as 'sucky'. I think part of it too, is that with no other adult in the house, it's so hard to keep things fresh and fun.
I'm thinking lots of crafts and such too - lanterns, posters, etc.
If you can, keep the ideas coming. Thank you guys so much!

Can you keep up any of the traditions that you had before? A little continuity can be very comforting after a big change.

If you haven't really been a big mosque-goer lately, contact the Muslim Student Association at your local college. As young, social, observant people, they'll know what events are going on at the different mosques and in the community. And at my old school, they also organized volunteer to making personal wake-up calls and deliver breakfast and dinner to older or economically struggling people -- maybe the kind of thing your kids would enjoy being a part of.
If you like Hindi movies, all the biggest blockbusters come out at Eid -- and seeing a Hindi movie in the theater at Eid is an experience everyone should have. Total exuberance and joy, dancing in the aisles, sharing food with strangers -- I was amazed to see how far people drop their reserve and how hearty they party in the theater at Eid... in Los Angeles.

Interesting, ideas.
We have traditions (well, I guess they're traditions) - it's just stuff we do every year.
I'm realizing now, that without their mother to keep stuff on track anymore, that I need to figure out what it is that is going to have meaning for them when they're older and have moved away.
Some ideas:
Decorating the house - this we do every year - lights, streamers, etc... If there was some center peice or competition or something - something that got them all jazzed up and was fun...
Food - we usually have fruit and chick peas to break our fast with, and then regular supper after prayer. I'm wondering if there isnt' some special dessert or something I could do every friday - or even some kind of food theme (ie. this year is chinese food every friday night) -> Supper cooking competitions with the kids (I would help)?
Prayer - going to the mosque is going to be hard - nobody to watch my daughters on the ladies side. I am not sure how I will handle that other than possibly stay home and try to lead prayers myself?
Islaimic movie nights? There are some staples -> The Message with Anthony Quinn (I think), and a few others -> perhaps on saturday nights...
The ex only sees them 4 times this month, so I can't count on her for much in the way of helping. Even traditional recipes are going to be difficult as I don't have them available.
Thank you so much guys!

Pinocchio: Review By IlikePie202
The movie's wonderful story, I think everyone on Earth knows by now, because they have most likely seen it as a child or have showed it (probably more than once) to their children. Geppetto, a toymaker, who lives in his toy shop, has just created a marionette. He wants to name it 'Pinocchio', but his pet goldfish and cat do not like that name. A cricket, Jiminy Cricket, sees all of this.
One night, when Geppetto is sound asleep, the Blue Fairy (who has some absolutely brilliant script and quotes in the movie) comes into their house/toy shop. He turns Pinocchio alive (because Geppetto always wished of Pinocchio being a real boy, but he is still not) , and turns Jiminy Cricket into his conscience. They take him to school, but is kidnapped and forced to act. Pinocchio (or Pinoke, that's what Jiminy Cricket always calls him), is good, and seems comfortable at first. But they won't left him leave. They escape, and the adventure is on. Along the fun ride, Geppetto looks for Pinocchio on a boat, Pinocchio goes to Pleasure Island and is almost turned into a jackass (a donkey), and Pinocchio discovers about his nose.
What really drives the movie besides the wonderful premise? Why is the premise so intriguing? Those two questions can possibly have the same answer. The characters. You learn to care for them, in such a short matter of time. So when they're really in trouble, you're always rooting for them, and against the evil characters. You're always rooting for the same characters no matter what. They are also very interesting, and will always stay with you forever. OR, is it just simply a wonderful move, period?
The film also teaches you about life, even if it doesn't show it in the most realistic ways. Like drinking and smoking can kill you, or just make you severely sick, in the movie it shows it's bad by characters turing into jackasses/donkeys, and those scenes are purposely scary (to younger kids) to show them what the syndrome of that is.
"Pinocchio" also teaches you that you should be appreciative of what you have. Even if these characters eventually do get what they want. It stills shows a couple of great messages.
You should show this film to kids (well, everyone actually, mind you :P), not just because it's a good example of life. It also has some absolutely charming scenes! There are a ton of scenes that are adorable (that sometimes, actually only one time in my mind, get a little too silly), that will make you feel like a kid again. You get to here some great (and very catchy) musical numbers, that you'll unexpectedly and weirdly be singing for your life! It really just captivates you, and make all worries or anything else in your life just go away for however long it is, I think 85 minutes.
There are also many brilliant quotes (from a brilliant movie), that teach you about life, like, "A boy who won't be good might just as well be made of wood." That quote is from the Blue Fairy, who I think almost looks like Cinderella, or some very recognizable Walt Disney character I can't think of right now. The songs, will make you suddenly start dancing out of nowhere, than you say "I HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN OVER 5 YEARS!!" Okay, maybe not that. But the point is that this great movie will refresh you incredibly, with it's superb animation, fantastic story and writing, and astonishing dialogue.
Walt Disney's masterpiece(s) really just proudly parade over the sh*t that kids watch over and over and find memorable, and makes those movies look like crap. If you asked me what I would give "Pinocchio", I would slap you. Why? I would slap your dear life in the face, because it is a question that should never be asked.
Anyways, 5/5 stars.

To be honest - I was not interested in leaving a dumb comment about a movie which i saw when i was a kid and I don;t remember anything. So I downloaded this movie yesterday, watched it, enjoyed the classic. The animation along with the BGM is topnotch and very touching. You can feel what he is going thro', which is not an easy task to accomplish. Only few movies transfer the pain, happiness and struggle of the character to the viewers - Pinocchio is one such movie. Excellent review, cant write it better.

Great Review Ilikepie202. I don't really remember this film since i have not seen it in a LONG time. I will have to check it out. And I would have to disagree with babyH. Watch The Princess And The Frog. It is actually a good Disney Film. Not a Classic, but it was still a really good Disney Film.

Stanley Cup rioters are breaching court conditions: police
Those charged include UBC student
Stanley Cup rioters convicted for their part in a post-hockey rampage on Vancouver streets are continuing to flout the law, say city police.
Police allege as many as one-quarter of the 42 people they've been watching have breached their probation or recognizance orders.
Their contempt-of-court investigation involves 11 people and alleges they ignored court orders over conditions such as curfews, drinking alcohol, and entering Vancouver's downtown core where they have been banned.
Police have released seven names of adults who have been charged for breaching their court-imposed conditions.
Those charged include Camille Cacnio, a university student who stole two pairs of men's dress pants from Black & Lee the night of the riot, then posted a lengthy apology on her blog the next week.
A provincial court judge handed Cacnio a suspended sentence, probation and community work, saying the scathing campaign of online shaming that targeted her was more than enough to ensure she learned her lesson.
Police say four of the people being investigated for breaching conditions are youth and can't be named
Supt. Dean Robinson said he's disappointed the same people who showed disrespect for the community are now showing disrespect for the courts by violating their conditions.

Former beauty queen pleads guilty in Stanley Cup riot trial
Sophie Laboissonniere was local Miss Congeniality
A former beauty queen has admitted to participating in the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver.
Sophie Laboissonniere of Richmond, B.C., who was crowned Miss Congeniality at a local beauty pageant, wasn't in court for the guilty plea.
The woman's lawyer entered the guilty plea of one count of participating in a riot.
She was among the first people charged following the riot, which broke out on June 15, 2011, after the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final.
A sentencing hearing has not been set, though the judge has granted the Crown's request for a pre-sentence report with a psychological component.
Rioters spent hours burning cars, smashing windows and looting stores over several blocks of downtown Vancouver until police in riot gear used tear gas to bring the crowds under control.

Nitro cocktails, a botched pick-up attempt & a Toronto killer
1. The Peak student newspaper at Simon Fraser University is warning students against cocktails containing liquid nitrogen, which is added by some daring bartenders who want to impress drinkers with the ensuing cloud of vapour. The reason for the warning: The Daily Mail newspaper says a British student who chugged two "Nitro Jagermeisters" ended up with a perforated stomach. Ouch.
2. "It wasn't exactly the most successful pick-up attempt," writes Julian Uzielli of Western's University's The Gazette. A student briefly lost consciousness and was taken to hospital last Wednesday after being injured in The Spoke pub. "He basically tried to pick up a girl really high in the air, and she fell on him, and he fell backwards and he hit his head," student Tony Ayala told the newspaper.
3. People in Toronto's Cabbagetown neighbourhood, not far from Ryerson University, are frightened by a killer who stabbed a woman, in her 50s, early on Tuesday. Toronto police released this security camera footage of the victim being followed around 7 a.m. The suspect is a white male.

Stanley Cup rioter spared jail time
UBC student penned famous online apology
A B.C. judge says a university graduate who appears to have a bright future in front of her should be spared jail time for participating in last year's Stanley Cup riot.
Instead, provincial court Judge Joseph Galati has given 23-year-old Camille Cacnio a suspended sentence that includes two years of probation and community service.
Cacnio pleaded guilty after online photos showed her stealing two pairs of men's pants and a tie from a clothing store during the riot on June 15, 2011.
She turned herself into the police and posted an online apology that explained she was drunk and fell into the mob mentality.

Chuck Norris, Quebec election and Stanley Cup rioters
1. Chuck Norris, known for on-screen martial arts and a certain intractable meme, has a message for Americans. If you love your family and freedom as much as he and his wife Gena do, don't vote for Obama. America is headed toward "socialism or something much worse," says Chuck. Gina predicts "a thousand years of darkness."
2. A Quebec election, which was at least partly called to settle the nightly student protests against tuition, is happening today. Polls put Liberal Premier Jean Charest in third place, but this is Quebec so anything could happen. Charest does look especially desperate. He warned over the weekend that a Parti Quebecois government could jeopardize the chances of NHL hockey returning to Quebec City. Read full coverage here.

UBC students charged for Stanley Cup Rioting
One accused of assault
Among the 25 suspected Stanley Cup rioters who were charged last week in Vancouver, at least two are University of British Columbia students.
Alexander Peepre, a 20-year-old political science student, is charged with the assault of Cameron Brown, a photographer who alleges he was struck from behind by Peepre while trying to put out a fire and after trying to capture some of the criminal acts on film. "I tried to get some clear shots of people that were causing the damage because I knew right away that that would be the best way to identify them afterward and send them off to the police," Brown told The Ubyssey.
Jensen White, a UBC science student from Seattle, is charged with mischief and participating in a riot.

Long Island News
Man dies after being tasered by police at Long Island group home
MIDDLE ISLAND (WABC) -- Authorities are investigating the death of an emotionally-disturbed man who died after police shocked him with a taser at a group home on Long Island late Wednesday.
Officers were called to Maryhaven Center of Hope, located at 222 Currans Road in Middle Island, around 9 p.m. after a resident became uncontrollable and violent.
Maryhaven employees requested the resident, 29-year-old Dainell Simmons, be transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for a psychiatric emergency.
Simmons reportedly fought with the officers, who made the decision to use the taser and pepper spray on him.
During the struggle, Simmons became unresponsive. He was transported to John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, where he died.
Lieutenant Jack Fitzpatrick told reporters Thursday that Simmons was acting "violent and uncontrollably" and that the decision to use a Taser appeared appropriate under the circumstances.
Multiple police officers were treated and released from various hospitals for injuries sustained during the struggle.
Simmons, who was 5'10" and 240 pounds, was taken to the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's office, where an autopsy will be performed.
Homicide investigators were at the scene for more than six hours trying to get information on what happened, and nearby streets were closed off during the investigation.
This is the first incident reported at the group home, and neighbors say they've never seen police called there before.

Though this is kind of fun, I'm getting plenty of examples of why I'm not one of the fabled "uber-liberals," whose numbers change strangely from political wing to political wing.
but a lot of evidence, specifically that which is gathered from criminal records and other details, show that gun control increases crime tyically, as opposed to stopping or reducing them.

§ Mr. NANNETTIasked the Secretary to the Treasury, with reference to paragraph 6 of the Treasury Minute, dated 26th February, 1866, which states that every salary and the classification of every office, except some of the legal departments, is duly submitted in the Annual Estimates for criticism and sanction of Parliament, can he say why such information is not given in the case of the Civil servants employed on the Ordnance Survey of the United Kingdom; and if such information is withheld in the case of any other public Department?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe Civil assistants employed on the Ordnance Survey are not divided into classes with fixed scales of salary; and there would be some difficulty in furnishing a detailed statement of their various rates of pay in the Estimates while the total number of the staff is liable to either increase or decrease, as the requirements of the service necessitate. I shall, however, be glad to consider whether it would be practicable to give some particulars of these officers' remuneration when the Estimates for 1910–11 are prepared.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Police plan to charge the mother of the baby who was reportedly found in a trash container in Colorado Springs on Wednesday.
According to police, when they arrived on the scene in the 300 block of Shadow Ridge Grove, they interviewed a 17-year-old girl who reportedly found the baby.
It was determined later that she was the mother of the baby and that the baby was never "in or near the trash container."
According to 9NEWS Reporter Meagan Fitzgerald, the mom had the baby on Tuesday and went to take the trash out on Wednesday with the baby. At that point, she started screaming to get her mother's attention, claiming she had found the baby next to the Dumpster.
Meagan says the mom did not want to tell her mom that she had a baby and thought she could just say she found it.
The baby was placed in protective custody and looked to be 6- to 12-hours-old.
The mother of the infant may be charged with influencing a public official or false reporting.
The Colorado Springs Police Department wants to remind Colorado Springs residents the State of Colorado has a Safe Haven Law, which allows a parent to relinquish custody of a baby, 72 hours old or less, to an employee at a hospital or fire station without penalty of prosecution.

One of the drawbacks of being a foreign policy blogger is that it becomes very awkward to avoid discussing international relations events that make the front page for consecutive days. I am therefore duty-bound to comment on Kim Jong Il's death, Kim Jong Un's ascension to leadership, and what it means for North Korea.
Except I have no friggin' clue what will happen.
I am in good company on this total lack of knowledge. I'm bemused by all the U.S. officials anonymously commenting on what Kim Jong Un is like, given that our intelligence on this country is so awesome that Washington didn't know his father was dead until 50 hours after he died, and then only because the North Koreans announced it on television. To be fair, however, it's not like the South Koreans knew either, and some reports I've seen suggest the Chinese were in the dark as well.
Despite the near total lack of information outside of North Korea about North Korea, the International Brotherhood of Foreign Policy Pundits require I provide at least two predictions per post. So, here's my first prediction, courtesy of Mr. T:
What we do know about the triumvirate of Kim-Jong-Il selected leaders guiding Kim Jong Un into power does not bode well for the North Korean economy. The only bright spot for the DPRK's economy in recent years was a modest step towards private economic activity. The fact that one of them "published articles about the need for the government to curtail market-oriented activity" does not bode well for the per capita income of your average North Korean.
My second prediction is that Kim Jong Un will hold power for longer than any Western analyst expects him to hold power. Most of the pundit chatter has been about the Kim the Youngest's lack of gravitas and the asbsence of sufficient time to groom him as the successor to Kim Jong Il. As I'm hearing this, I keep thinking of Hua Guofeng, Mao's successor. It's an imperfect analogy, but Hua was a relative unknown plucked from obscurity by Mao only a few years before his death. In the end he was outmaneuvered by Deng Xiaoping and his allies, but even Hua managed to stay in power for a few years before that happened, putting down an attempted coup by Mao's wife Jiang Qing and the Gang of Four.
To use more game-theoretic language, I'm not sure there is a first-mover advantage to any ambitious North Korean challenging Kim the Youngest. Because of that, and because the entire DPRK elite likely fears internal division when concerned about natiional survival, the tyranny of the status quo will likely persist for longer than anyone realizes. Which, unfortunately, in this case, happens to be actual tyranny.
Am I missing anything?
Two articles worth reading this AM:
1. Ali Ansari's history of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in The National Interest. Ansari explains exactly how the IRGC has become intermeshed with the Iranian economy, and what that means going forward. His key point: it's not about the ideology anymore:
Though the IRGC started its life as a defender of the revolution, over time the organization has become increasingly involved in commercial interests. Divisions within the Revolutionary Guard, particularly between its veterans and their heirs, have deepened. Now in bed with an increasingly radicalized elite in Iran, the IRGC seems to be less about protecting the people of the country and more about protecting its own material interests. Iran is rapidly becoming a security state.
2. Blaine Harden's Washington Post story on the fallout from North Korean protests of the government's controversial currency reform last month. Yes, you read that correctly, North Korean protests. The good parts:
Grass-roots anger and a reported riot in an eastern coastal city pressured the government to amend its confiscatory policy. Exchange limits have been eased, allowing individuals to possess more cash.
The currency episode reveals new constraints on Kim's power and may signal a fundamental change in the operation of what is often called the world's most repressive state. The change is driven by private markets that now feed and employ half the country's 23.5 million people, and appear to have grown too big and too important to be crushed, even by a leader who loathes them....
The currency episode seems far from over, and there have been indications that Kim still has the stomach for using deadly force.
There have been public executions and reinforcements have been dispatched to the Chinese border to stop possible mass defections, according to reports in Seoul-based newspapers and aid groups with informants in the North.
Still, analysts say there has also been evidence of unexpected shifts in the limits of Kim's authority.
"The private markets have created a new power elite," said Koh Yu-whan, a professor of North Korean studies at Dongguk University in Seoul. "They pay bribes to bureaucrats in Kim's government, and they are a threat that is not going away."
Why did something like this take 40 years? This is an overdetermined answer, but I have to think that the DPRK leadership has become so materially impoverished that North Koreans with ambition have decided that they are better off going outside the syatem rather than trying to achieve a bureaucratic sinecure.
The common thread in both stories? Ideological zeal only takes you so far, even in a totalitarian society. Market forces will worm their way into even the most theocratic or communist societies. What will be interesting is how those getting rich will respond to political instability, even as they have profted from the existing rules of the game.
As my boss U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth arrives in Pyongyang, I think it's worth noting that the North Korean government has not been endearing itself to its citizenry. Hmmm... let me rephrase that -- the DPRK government has been acting with even more disregard fo its citizens than usual.
The nub of the problem has been a currency revaluation/reform in which North Korean citizens will be forced to trade in their old notes for new ones -- and each citizen is limited in the amount they can exchange. This move was designed to do two things: lopping off a few zeroes of the North Korean won, and flushing out private traders along the Chinese border who are sitting on currency notes that will soon be worthless.
It appears, according to AFP, that the DPRK regime has finally come up with a move that actually roils their population:
Amid reports that some frustrated residents have been torching old bills, South Korean aid group Good Friends said authorities have threatened severe punishment for such an action.
Many residents would burn worthless old bills rather than surrender them to authorities, in order to avoid arousing suspicions about how they made the money, Good Friends said.
The banknotes carry portraits of founding president Kim Il-Sung and his successor and son Kim Jong-Il. Defacing their images is treated as a felony.
With nascent private markets for food collapsing because of the currency reform, citizens are finding it difficult to obtain basic staples. The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization is already projecting another grain shortage for the country.
Over at the U.S. Institute for Peace, John S. Park does a nice job of explaining the political economy effects of this currency move:
As North Korean people in key market-active regions benefited from growing commercial interactions, low- to high-level DPRK officials figured out ways to get a cut of the money made. These officials used most of these bribes (viewed by traders as a "cost of doing business") to line their own pockets, but also used a portion of these for their respective organization's operating budget. With less to skim from the markets due to this revaluation, these officials will have funding gaps to fill. Given that these officials also enjoyed a higher standard of living, the discontent of the North Korean people will be aligned with these "skimming" officials. New groups of losers from this revaluation may be more advanced and better organized than protesters during previous periods of government-initiated economic and currency reforms....
If the DPRK government had improved and restored the inconsistent Public Distribution System and other public services on a national basis (a massive undertaking), a revaluation may have triggered greater state control by minimizing the benefits from the non-formal market system and making the North Korean people dependent on the state again. It does not appear that the DPRK government has improved these national systems. In an apparent effort to restore discipline through this revaluation, the DPRK government may have initiated a period of economic, social, and political destabilization by undermining a widely used coping mechanism for the people, as well as a growing number of officials.
[So a buckling DPRK regime is a good thing, right?--ed.] From a nonproliferation perspective, not so much, no.
Any domestic instability in North Korea is bad for Bosworth, the Six-Party Talks, and nonproliferation efforts in general. The June uprisings in Iran have led the Iranian regime to adopt a more hardline position on the nuclear issue, both to bolster the conservative base and engage in "rally round the flag" efforts. I see no reason why this logic would not apply to North Korea as well -- indeed, domestic instability is the likely explanation for Pyongyang's bellicose behavior earlier this year.
Developing.... in a very disturbing way.
UPDATE: My FP colleague Tom Ricks has more.
The Wall Street Journal's Jay Solomon, Evan Ramsted, and Peter Spiegel provide a nicely detailed rundown on what U.S. officials think is happening in North Korea. Essentially, U.S. policymakers in the know believe that the arrangements for a power succession from Kim Jong Il to his relatives are causing Pyongyang to act even weirder than usual.
The story contains that classic combination of Kremlinology and bizarre personal detail that make the DPRK regime so entertaining for anyone not living within the range of the Taepodong-2 missile. For example:
U.S. officials said they increasingly view [Kim Jong Il's third son] Kim Jong Un as an important player in North Korea's power equation. The 26-year-old has emerged as a stronger contender than either of his brothers. Kim Jong Nam, Kim Jong Il's eldest son, was widely discredited in 2001 when he was detained in Japan for traveling on a forged Dominican Republic passport in a bid to visit Tokyo Disneyland. The middle son, Kim Young Chol, has been described as frail and unlikely to possess the stature to lead.
Kim Jong Il seems to view Kim Jong Un as the most like him in views and values, said the senior U.S. defense official. The younger son's mother, Ko Yong Hee, who died in a 2004 car crash, is also believed to be Kim Jong Il's favorite of his three wives.
Kim Jong Un fascinates North Korea analysts as he studied at an international school in Bern, Switzerland and is reported to be a fan of Western pop stars. (emphasis added)
I see the makings of a deal here -- instead of security guarantees and light-water nuclear reactors, what if the U.S. instead offered to build a Pyongyang Disneyworld complex? With special VIP-only lines for relatives of Kim? [Who could afford the regular lines?--ed. Oh, they'd still want the velvet ropes.]
Furthermore, in this blog's ongoing efforts to find social utility from washed-up pop stars, shouldn't the U.S. also offer a lifetime contract for Miss Britney Spears to host the resort? Now, I know what you're thinking -- Drezner is behind on his Entertainment Weekly reading hasn't pop culture moved past Britney? Well, I figure that it takes a few years for these trends to trickle into the DPRK. See, it's win-win!!
Somewhat more seriously, I have to wonder about the utility of this kind of Kremlinological analysis. I've been... unimpressed with the kind of research that tries to predict future policy prefereces based on past biography. These kind of analyses often do a good job of explaining things after the fact -- but I don't remember anyone using this kind of work to correctly predict a Gorbachev or a Deng. For the DPRK, the family dynamics make it even harder to discern, of course.

text: Just a great little family-owned Tex-Mex place in Fort Davis. We went there the Friday after Thanksgiving, and showed up a few minutes before they opened at 5 pm. There was another couple there, who gave the place a ringing endorsement and convinced us to stay. We weren't disappointed. The place filled up quickly with a nice mix of locals... More

Sustainable Practices, Economic Contributions, Consumer Behavior, and Labor Management in the U.S. Environmental Horticulture Industry
D.L. Ingram
Department of Horticulture
Non-Technical Summary
The value proposition for the green industry in the future must focus on the unique ways in which quality of life is improved for its customer base. Sustainability is an integral part of our value proposition message in the future and the green industry cannot overemphasize the importance of this quality of life message, particularly in focusing its differentiation strategies in the future.
This project is a continuation of previous multi-state projects active since 1976. A large team of research and extension faculty from numerous public universities will contribute to this project, including both agricultural economists and horticulturists. This group, known as the Green Industry Research Consortium, has a history of interdisciplinary collaboration. Project investigators will utilize various research methods to address these research objectives, such as input-output analysis, enterprise budgeting, field trials, energy and water audits, and life-cycle analysis.
The project will develop outreach materials for target audiences, including peer-reviewed publications, trade press articles, workshops, presentations at professional conferences, and various electronic media such as websites, weblogs, webinars, DVDs, software, and podcasts. The results stemming from these collaborative research efforts will also better enable industry firms to better tell their story in regards to sustainability.
2011 Project Description
The Green Industry Research Consortium, (S-1051), represents an integrated, system-level approach to research and extension related to the nursery, greenhouse and landscaping industries. The University of Kentucky is a collaborator in that effort.
In 2011, Circular HO89, Characteristics of the Kentucky Nursery and Greenhouse Industry, was published by the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service with specific Kentucky industry information from the 2009 national nursery and greenhouse survey. According to the survey, Kentucky's sales were more than $147 million in 2008.
A series of three articles were published on the subject in consecutive Kentucky Nursery View issues. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been described relative to its potential application to the green industry. It can be an effective tool to study the components of a production system relative to environmental impact factors. A journal article has been submitted for review that describes this tool and how it can be used to study horticulture production systems. An Extension Circular (HO-90) was published by the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service to describe this tool to nursery, greenhouse and landscape service firm managers and to suggest how to interpret the results from LCA.
2011 Impact
LCA was used to study the contributions of field nursery production system components to the carbon footprint, or Global Warming Potential (GWP), of a 5-cm caliper, spade-dug red maple tree. Diesel consumption by equipment used for field operations accounted for approximately 70% of the carbon footprint during the production phase, and 70% of that occurs at harvest. Accounting for eco-services from sequestered CO2 during production, the carbon footprint of the tree from cutting to transplanting in the landscape was estimated to be approximately 5 kg CO2 equivalent. Transporting and transplanting the finished tree would add 7 kg CO2e to the carbon footprint of the tree, based on expected shipping distances.
LCA has proven to be a valuable tool in analyzing the individual input components in the field production of a shade tree. The results of such studies will allow nursery mangers to make informed decisions about the various elements of the operation. For example, if shipping distance for the finished product was reduced by one-third, there would be a 28% reduction in the carbon footprint. If the cull rate was 10% instead of the 5% assumed in the analysis, the carbon footprint of each marketable tree would increase by 6%.
Consumers can be informed about the relative GWP impact of system components such as transportation distance and make informed purchasing decisions driven by environmental concerns.

As we continue to think about and plan for our future here at SCC I wanted to share the article below from this week's Chronicle of Higher Education.
The article describes the growing importance of hands-on learning in higher education, taking examples chiefly from four-year environments (e.g., the so called 'work colleges,' such as Warren Wilson, College of the Ozarks, and several colleges and universities in Vermont with which I am very familiar).
This op ed piece appropriately points out that there is nothing new under the sun with regard to the importance of applied learning, dating as it does to the seminal work of John Dewey (another Vermonter) more than half a century ago.
As we move forward in our own long term planning I would ask us to keep in mind the value of applied, hands-on learning - something arguably done best in the community college setting and of which we have many examples of here. There is no hidden message here of a massive revamp of what and how we teach at SCC; rather, food for thought about how to further strengthen an existing strength of the college.
Happy Holiday Season 2013

Perhaps one of the most special restaurants in Gijón. It's rather difficult to find a table so, book in advance :)
You must try "ventrisca a la espalda" (just in summer) or be brave enough to taste "riñones a la plancha" or its world famous "mollejas".
Eating & Drinking
Are you looking for a traditional restaurant in the old town? Zabala is, without any doubts, the best option: seafood and fishes are always fantastic.
But if you are on a low budget or can't afford the prices on the regular menu, try to find a place outside (it's always difficult specially on July and August) and enjoy the "tapas en la terraza". The tapas are so much cheaper but the quality still superb!
The coolest place to have dinner in Gijón :)
Jaime, the charming chef and owner, has got a heavenly gift to mix the traditional asturian cuisine with the last trends.
You'll have to wait for the food and tourist are not always welcome :)
Be patient and enjoy the wine and the music while you're waiting!
A classic between the classics. "La Foli" is a likely second stop on a night out. Good beer, good drinks and REALLY GOOD music. Classic rock, punk and all these stuff!
In the oldest part of the city, it has a very precious terrace to have dinner out in the back and up front you can watch the world go by while enjoying wine and tapa´s -

Thetford is a market town and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England. It is on the A11 road between Norwich and London, just south of Thetford Forest. The civil parish, covering an area of 29.55 km2 (11.41 sq mi), has a population of 21,588.[1]
Thetford is traditionally thought of as the royal residence of Boudica[citation needed] Queen of the Iceni. The Iceni were a Celtic tribe living in Norfolk and parts of Cambridgeshire. Archaeological evidence suggests that Thetford was an important tribal centre during the late Iron Age and early Roman period. A ceremonial 'grove' was uncovered there during excavations. In 1979, a hoard of Romano-British metalwork, known as the Thetford treasure was located just outside of Thetford. Dating from the mid-4th Century AD, this hoard is a collection of thirty three inscribed spoons, twenty gold finger rings, four pendants, several necklaces and a 2" gold buckle depicting a dancing satyr. They are currently on display and under curation at the British Museum.
Thetford, an important crossing of the Little Ouse River, draws its name from the Anglo-Saxon Theodford or peoples ford. The nearby River Thet was later named after the town.
In the Anglo-Saxon period, Thetford was the home of the monarchs of East Anglia[citation needed] and was seat of a bishopric.[citation needed] On 20 November 869, Edmund the Martyr – the last native King of the East Angles – was killed in East Anglia by the Danish Vikings. By tradition Hingwar and his brother Hubba slew King Edmund, martyring him, most likely around his 30th birthday. However the stories of Edmund's death are numerous and the details vary. Some have him dying in battle, but the majority have him captured by the brutal Ubbe Ragnarsson and Ivar the Boneless. Refusing to renounce his religion, Edmund is said to have undergone horrific treatment, either used for target practice by Danish bowmen, or even more horribly made a 'blood eagle' sacrifice, his ribs separated from his spine and his lungs pulled from his living body. Yet still he refused to renounce Christ, and was decapitated by the Danes in exasperation. Edmund's head was said to have been guarded by a wolf for weeks before his followers recovered it, a story that led to his being the patron saint of wolves. After his death, he quickly became accepted as a saint and a martyr. His body, when seen years after his death, was intact and without signs of decay, and even more miraculously was healed of its wounds, only a thin red line around his neck showing the brutality of his end. Miracles were attributed to him, including one where his spirit appeared to the last heathen Danish king in England, Sweyn Forkbeard, causing the latter to fall from his horse and die in convulsions. His shrine at Beadoriceworth became an important point of pilgrimage in early medieval England, the town changing its name to Bury St Edmunds (town of St Edmund). For a time St. Edmund was England's patron saint, until St. George replaced him, and there is a campaign afoot today to reinstate the martyr king to that position. One story has King Edmund born in Nuremberg, but the most credible stories have him as descended from a dynasty of Anglo-Saxon kings, his father being Aethelweard[disambiguation needed] - who died in 854 when Edmund was age 14. Edmund was said to have been crowned by St. Humbert on 12/25/854, possibly in Bures St. Mary in Suffolk. His piety is well recorded, seen in his just treatment of his subjects, and in the story that he went into retreat at Hunstanton for a year, during which time he memorized the Psalter, a feat that in its day would have been deemed a considerable display of learning. But it is Edmund's death which is the most remarkable element of his life. In 869 the Danes marched south from York through Mercia and into East Anglia, where they took Thetford and used it as a base. According to one version of the tale, Edmund refused to fight them, giving himself up to his enemies in accordance with Christ's turning the other cheek. In another he engages the Danes in a bloody battle.
The Domesday Book lists William of Bello Fargo as the Bishop of Thetford[2] in 1085.
Castle Hill, to the south-east of the town centre, is the highest Norman motte in England[citation needed] though no trace remains of the castle which once surmounted it. The mound (motte) is open to the public, and provides excellent views of the town from its summit and extensive earthworks. It is in a public park, near the Three Nuns Bridges and close to the town centre overlooking the rivers. It is said that a network of chalk tunnels is buried deep within Castle Hill, which once acted as an escape route for monks during a time of civil strife. One of the entrances to the tunnels is rumoured to be found in the basement of a house on Old Market Street.[citation needed]
Thetford also contains the ruins of a 12th-century Cluniac priory. The Priory, open to the public, was closed during the Reformation. Both the Priory and the Bell Inn, also in Thetford, were featured for their alleged hauntings on the television series Ghosthunters, after stories of one of the Bell Inn's staff members being curiously locked into one of the bedrooms she was cleaning.
The British Trust for Ornithology moved its headquarters into the former Nunnery, south of the town centre, in 1991.
Thetford was the birthplace of Thomas Paine and his statue stands on King Street, holding a quill and his book Rights of Man, upside down. Paine attended Thetford Grammar School. Born in Thetford on 9 February 1737, Paine emigrated to the British American colonies in 1774 in time to participate in the American Revolution. His principal contributions were the powerful, widely read pamphlet Common Sense [3] (1776), advocating colonial America's independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and The American Crisis [4] (1776–1783), a pro-revolutionary pamphlet series.
Dr Allan Glaisyer Minns, born in Inagua, the Bahamas, Mayor of Thetford in 1904, was the first black man to become a mayor in Britain.[5]
Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk and other early Tudor dynasty officials were once buried in Thetford before removal to Framlingham.
The surrounding Breckland has been largely replaced by the Thetford Forest, though Thetford Chase remains. The town has become known for its Portuguese and East European shops and cafes.[citation needed]
Events and sports[edit]
East Harling near Thetford hosts an annual Autumn Equinox Festival for astronomy. The festival has featured Patrick Moore of The Sky at Night. Thetford is also the site for the UK's Star Party, as it is centrally located in a rural area with dark night skies. An annual concert, STORM open air festival used to take place at the castle green in thetford it had been stopped due to a lot of anti-social behaviour in the town.
The local football club, Thetford Town, plays in the Eastern Counties League. The Thetford & District Sunday Football League, now known as the Breckland & District Sunday Football League, encompasses teams from within a 20-mile (30 km) radius of Thetford. Thetford Cricket Club play their home games next to the football club on Mundford Road. They currently have 3 men's teams, 2 that play on Saturdays and 1 on Sundays, and an ever growing youth training scheme. The club are represented in the Norfolk Cricket Alliance Division 3 and Division 6 and the Mid-Norfolk Sunday Cricket League Division 3. In summer, Castle Park is the Sunday meeting place of the non-professional and informal Castle Park Football Club.
A swimming team called the Thetford Dolphins is based at Breckland Leisure Centre's Waterworld swimming pools. World champion triathlete Chrissie Wellington is a former member of this swimming club.[6]
High Lodge Forest Centre in Thetford Forest attracts thousands of visitors every year. Events are held throughout the year including summer concerts and the Hallowe'en 'terror trail'.
Thetford is just off the A11 road between Norwich (28 miles (45 km)) and London (86 miles (138 km)). The A11 previously ran through the town but a bypass was constructed in the 1990s.
It is served by Thetford railway station, with Greater Anglia running services between Norwich and Cambridge, and East Midlands Trains from Norwich to Liverpool (via Sheffield and Manchester). From Cambridge, regular services run to London King's Cross.
A branch line to Bury St Edmunds was closed in the 1950s, well before Dr. Beeching. The remnants of Thetford Bridge railway station on the southern side of the town can still be seen.
The National Cycle Route 13 links Thetford to Gateley, near Fakenham.
Thetford was home to Tulip International, large-scale manufacturers of bacon, beef and pork. The factory opened its doors in 1966 and was one of the biggest bacon production factories in the UK.[7] In 2007 the factory ceased production of fresh bacon, beef and pork with the loss of 350 jobs, although cooked bacon and fried products continued to be made until all production ceased in February 2009.[8] In February 2012 an application was submitted to Breckland District Council for the redevelopment of the former Tulip factory to provide a new 56,000 sq ft foodstore.
According to the 2001 UK Census, almost 22,000 people were residing in Thetford, with a 2004 study showing an unusually high percentage (almost 30%) of people of Portuguese descent in the town,[citation needed] although according to the 2011 census, no more than 3000 people in Thetford were of Portuguese origin.
Thetford has a temperate marine climate, like much of the British Isles, with generally light precipitation throughout the year. The surrounding Breckland area is differentiated from much of Eastern England due to the presence of sandy soils. This results in average minimum temperatures typically being around 1 degree lower on average than surrounding areas, and on cold clear nights up to 5 to 10 Celsius lower.

Dad's Army[edit]
The external scenes for the BBC1 TV series Dad's Army were filmed in and around the town with Thetford's flint buildings doubling for Walmington-on-Sea.[10] In December 2007 it was announced that a statue of Arthur Lowe who played the leading character Captain George Mainwaring would be erected in the town.[11][12] The statue was unveiled next to the Little Ouse river in the town at 12:00pm. The statue depicts Captain Mainwaring sitting on a park bench. This was preceded by a stage show re-enacting several Dad's Army episodes which was shown over the course of several nights, including The Godiva Affair.

"Don't miss this suspense thriller with its timely plot to save the planet from nuclear Armageddon!"
This book is dedicated to the valiant Iranians who are presently resisting the decimation of their heritage by waging a relentless campaign to purge Iran of the scourge of Islamism. We also offer it as a tribute to all those Iranians who have suffered incredible abuses under the oppressive mullahs' regime and paid the ultimate price in combating the evil of Political Islam.
Drums of war beat ever louder with each passing day. The mad mullahs ruling Iran work around the clock to acquire nuclear weapons. The world is worried but impotent to prevent them from achieving their goal. The U.S. and its sole serious ally Israel keep proclaiming that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable. The maniacal mullahs, undeterred, double their efforts to make the unacceptable acceptable.
It is brinkmanship of monumental risks, which may lead to conflagration, since neither will the mullahs blink, nor are the U.S. and Israel willing to let the mullahs acquire the ultimate weapon.
Greatly disturbed by the ever-loudening drumbeats of war, a band of Iranian-American patriots and friends launches a well-conceived campaign to destroy the Islamic Republic's nuclear and military capabilities. They aim to preempt the need for military attack on Iran that may lead to massive loss of human life, spin out of control, and usher in the long-prophesied, dreaded Armageddon.
This small team of Iranian-Americans' deep love for their native land as well as for their adopted country compels them to take tremendous risks and do the seemingly impossible to prevent all-out war between their two countries.
From a command post in California, vital cooperation from Iran, and a mobile operational base in the Persian Gulf, this small group of young men and women targets vulnerable components of the mullahs' nuclear and military facilities.
Seldom do we find a book combining entertainment, education and excitement. Operation Persian Gulf is one of those rarities. The interplay among the characters provides the entertainment. The education is the warning of the danger of radical Islamism. The excitement lies in the accomplishment of their mission. Perhaps there is some prescience in the scenario. Only time will tell."
Harold Weinstein
Wow, I hope this book will inspire the Iranians living in the free world to mobilize against the mullahs
Yes…! It sounds like a modern day thriller ripped from the very scenarios discussed in the daily news. While everyone but these few brave patriots feel powerless to avoid a nuclear Armageddon in the Mid-East. They all know Iran's nuclear ambitions must be derailed at all costs …
My kind of story. I'll get a copy.
Thank you for your good work in putting a spotlight on these dangerous times.
Ed McLaughlin
"The reader learns more about Iran, its 'mad mullahs' and its quest to acquire nuclear weapons, than one might otherwise learn by reading various newspaper headlines."
The cliché is "ripped from the headlines," but it fits Amil Imani's new novel, written with Cyrus Azad, Operation Persian Gulf, because the reader learns more about Iran, its "mad mullahs" and its quest to acquire nuclear weapons, than one might otherwise learn by reading various newspaper headlines.
The novel is about a small team of Iranian-Americans whose deep love for their former homeland drives them to fulfill a daring scheme to disable Iran's newly activated nuclear facility at Bushehr, in order to delay the weaponizing of its waste product. In that regard, Operation Persian Gulf is an old-fashioned thriller, filled with assassination teams, and other mayhem, but this novel is endorsed by some of the foremost authorities and authors on Islam.
The novel is so up-to-date it includes references to the Stuxnet virus that was planted in Iranian facilities' computers for the same objective, to slow its relentless effort to secure nuclear weapons. That would be a major game-changer.
"A highly entertaining way to learn why Iran's people live as hostages to their dictatorial mullahs and why a potential Armageddon must be avoided."
This novel is a highly entertaining way to learn why Iran's people live as hostages to their dictatorial mullahs and why a potential Armageddon must be avoided.

My mission is to raise the clarion call about the imminent and present danger of expansionistic theocratic Islam. Having witnessed first-hand the horrors and indignity that Islamofascism visits on people it subjugates, I have taken it upon myself to do my part in defeating this ideology of oppression, hate and violence.

FL hospital ordered to pay former child patient $15M
Herald-Tribune, March 8, 2012
More than 14 years after Aaron Edwards was born with cerebral palsy, Florida senators Wednesday passed a bill that would require Lee Memorial Health System to pay $15 million to compensate him for its employees' negligence. The Lee County hospital system lobbied against the claims bill (HB 965), arguing it would take away money that could go toward caring for other children. But the Senate rejected an attempt Tuesday by Southwest Florida lawmakers to lower the payment to $7.25 million.
