Lawnmower man

HealthSouth co-founder Aaron Beam went to federal prison for three months after pleading guilty to bank fraud. Now Beam, who once pulled in $500,000 a year, is free and runs a one-man lawn service company near the Gulf Coast, from which he makes about $1,200 a month. He's also seeking a turf management degree.

In other news on the HealthSouth co-founder front, a federal judge decided Friday that Richard Scrushy will have to cancel his vacation in the Bahamas after all. Something about flight risk and multiple felony convictions and whatnot.
