Four of the animals have been discovered in Florida. So far, there is no indication that they are reproducing.I understand the impulse to add a predator to south Florida.

Dream Me a River
A nocturnal vision revealed what led me into psychiatry in the first place."The dream was a reminder that I can’t rescue anyone from his or her feelings, not myself or my patients. I can only learn to live with my own and be an instrument for my patients to do the same if they so choose."
I will help if I can.

Good-looking, charming and a celebrity in his native Chile, the surprise winner of this year’s Pritzker cares more about solving social problems than exercising his artistic chops.I am not sure there is any where else for architecture to go.
Alejandro Aravena has earned his prize.
