My husband agrees to give me full physical custody and want to share legal custody. He is very abusive to me and since i have safety issues i decide to end this thing soon. Our child is 2 year old. I am wanting supervised visitation.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
Sole physical means you are in charge of the day to day care of the child, however for child support purposes the amount of parenting time you each have is important. Joint legal custody means you both work together to make major medical, educational, and religious decisions for the child.
Parenting time being supervised is something you can argue during the divorce.

That paid $19.24 today. More money than common CENTS !!!!!!!!!! HA HA !!!!!!!!
I bought this stock around 20yrs. ago for around 24.oo. It has done nothing. I say , no more raises to the big boys. Release the one's thats on the board, Get some board members that are nothing more then puppets for the CO.'s. People that work for the Shareholders. I'm getting tired of promises, promises. and poor decisions.
Sentiment: Hold
When's Rigby retiring? He has been the CEO for a while - time to retire to Chairman of the Board.
He's been on the speaking tour the last year and currying favor with various for profit and not for profit institutions. He has his house at the Jersey Shore ready to go.....
Will not happen anytime soon. Why leave a job that pays no matter how big of a load he is !!!!!

Second, tell the bank there's been fraud on the card and get them to close the card immediately and give you a card with a completely different number. Remember that any automatic debits you have set up will need to transferred to the new card number.
Two possible reasons the charge was so high. First, to fulfill the length of contract, probably 24 months. But more likely, charge for equipment not being returned. When she didn't pay the bill, she would have gotten a letter saying pay by this date or return the equipment to avoid being chrged for it.Unfortunately a LOT of companies keep debit/credit card numbers even though they "agree" it'll only be for a one time charge. It's best if your going to help someone to give them the cash to use their card or send a money order so that your card or account number is not compromised. I hope this turns out well for you.

Real time date with your Agile Dashboard
Real time burndowns
View your sprint progress in real time with two burndowns showing interesting stats. The Story Points Burndown shows how many points have been closed by the team.
The Hour Burndown will show you how many hours have been completed by the team during this sprint. The second metric is the real thing about where you are in your sprint related to how many element have been closed and how many days left to complete everything. The last data is the estimation of your progress if you keep the same rythm which can present you a either a green line if you have a good rythm or a red line if you are not going to complete everything.
Sunset Graph
The Sunset Graph is the only chart that gives you a real forecast on your agile project. According to the business value that you decided to give to you stories, this graph will show you how many mandatory items you have in your backlog, how many important items you have and how many optional items you have. It's a good way to see when you should be able to release a MVP to your users.
Velocity Chart
Each team has the capacity to accomplish a certain number of story points per sprint. This number is not very important (actually we really don't care about the number itself). This data gives a good vision to the PO to see the tendancy and to forecast. Our velocity widget gives you the number of points closed by the team in the last 10 sprints and it also give you the average of points closed in those last 10 sprints.
Money widgets
Even if money can't buy love or happiness, it's still an important metric in a project. Urban Turtle proposes a couple of widget to follow your're budget and the erned value of a project, a feature or a sprint. The budget graph gives the opportunity to compare you're planned budget vs. your actual investment in the project. Quite easy to set-up, this widget is very interesting for the stakeholders and the managers.

The Fight Against Hi-tech SolutionsMonday, August 22nd, 2016
The Fight Against Hi-tech Solutions
August 22, 2106
The fact that a Memphis taxi cab company is suing Uber and Lyft in federal court caught my eye recently. They allege that the ride-hailing companies are violating Tennessee laws and city ordinances regulating passenger transportation services.
In looking back over my business career in engineering and manufacturing I remember purchasing the first TRS 80 computer. The subsequent computers revolutionized my business making it much more efficient and lowering costs. Uber and Lyft saw a need and filled it in a big way. Maybe they are violating some outdated regulations but that is what politicians do, write regulations which end up restricting competition.
In the high tech field, I have a son in law who was with google but left recently to join Otto, a company involved in designing software and hardware to safely control driverless trucks. His job previously at google was designing the vehicles for google street scene which allows you now to see almost all homes and buildings and is used extensively by real estate people, the government and people in general. No doubt the Teamsters will object to Otto if they are successful in advancing driverless vehicles.
I have written previously about Uber, Lyft and how they could possible help make Mata more efficient, give Mata customers better service and possibly cut the $44 million dollars that taxpayers pay to subsidize Mata.
Instead of filing suit and blocking progress, why not join the hi-tech world and see if we can give Mata customers better service at lower cost. I call on Mayor Strickland to invite Uber and Lyft and start a discussion to see if involving them in Mata transportation makes sense. If you agree I ask you to let the Mayor know with a copy to email@example.com.
The Demand For Immediate Economic JusticeWednesday, August 17th, 2016

The Demand For Immediate Economic Justice
There was a recent CA article with the header "Strickland can't solve problems alone.
The gist of the article was the demand from "Black Lives Matter" to furnish to the disenfranchised, good jobs and opportunity. The article went on to state that no Mayor in America can solve this problem alone. The article stated that the real economic power in Memphis comes from the 120 senior executives who call themselves the Chairman's Circle.
Contained in this story is the description of the plan labeled "The Moon Missions". Contained in the Moon Missions are a) expanding prekindergarten, b) connecting Mid-South green spaces, c) creating 1,000 entrepreneurs in 10 years, d) developing a long range plan for regional growth, e) alleviating litter and blight and f) training 30,000 high-tech industrial workers in 10 years.
Here you have the classic HAVES/HAVE NOTS confrontation that has been going on in this country for a long time. None of the above Moon Mission objectives will make an immediate difference in more contracts and jobs for the disenfranchised.
Expanding prekindergarten is a good idea if it results in the children prepared to learn to read when they get to school.
Connecting mid-south green spaces will help with attracting the skilled executive types of people who are considering moving to Memphis.
Creating 1,000 entrepreneurs in 10 years. This is so ridiculous that it does not deserve comment. I suppose Bill Gates and Steve Jobs came from this kind of program.
Developing a long range plan for regional growth. Another expensive plan from a consulting firm. Maybe good but no immediate results.
Alleviating litter and blight. Good idea but no immediate economic results.
Training 30,000 high-tech industrial workers in 10 years. This is a great idea and a skilled worker pool is what is needed but you need people willing and sufficiently educated to learn a needed trade like welding, plumbing, electrical, building maintenance, computer programming at schools like Southwest Tennessee Community College and Moore Tech.
What these protest groups are asking for is a slice of the supply contracts purchased by local companies. Typically local companies buy their products on the basis of price and past performance. They should be willing to take quotes from minority firms but those minority firms, if selected, must perform as well or better than the previous supplier. As for the City of Memphis or Shelby County, they should publish their bids on line showing the selected supplier and all other bidders and why the lowest bidder was not selected if that was the case.
What are your thoughts on these matters?
Garbage And RecyclablesTuesday, August 9th, 2016

Garbage And Recyclables
I live in the City of Memphis and yesterday morning was my weekly duty to bag up my garbage and put it in my older 96 gallon wheeled container and put my recyclable material in my new 96 gallon wheeled container. It worked out well and I rolled them out to the street and by noon they were both picked up and taken to I don't know where.
I decided to ask the City of Memphis for information on Inland Waste, the City's contractor for solid waste and recyclable material. I asked the City of Memphis for a copy of the contract through the City of Memphis open records request system and I got an answer the next day. The contract is for $4.25 million and is some 122 pages but here it is for you to review. The high bid was for $9.3 million. After a quick review there are some interesting features.
Did you know that your cart has a RFID!! This is a Radio Frequency Identification Device. According to the contract the purpose of a RFID is to gather information about recycling participation and other information mutually agreed upon between the City and Contractor.
Then I got to thinking about Germantown and Shelby County. Germantown has approved a $3.9 million, five-year trash collections contract with Waste Pro of Tennessee. The contract shows a double-digit increase in price over the current service provider, Inland Waste Services, which the city is discontinuing after a series of upsets to citizens' services and associated fines and fees the city incurred to resolve them. The new rates include a 34% hike in yard trash. Residents who are now charged $22.50 for trash service will only pay an estimated $4 more each month the first year and as much as another $2 a month thereafter, with the city subsidizing for now, according to The Commercial Appeal.
As a City of Memphis resident I currently pay $22.80 per month as my solid waste fee.
Then I asked the Shelby County government about their solid waste collection services for those residents who live in the County but are not in any incorporated city. Apparently the County residents are on their own and I suppose they contract with some independent service to take away their garbage, recyclables and yard waste. The County did inform me of a contract they have with Memphis Recycling Services Inc to buy all recyclable commodities generated by the County.
I must admit that I am not as well informed about this very important public service and I ask those that read this post to send me more information about your experience with the City, Germantown and other incorporated cities in Shelby County and those that live in Shelby County in an unincorporated area. I would love to hear from you.
I want to congratulate the City of Memphis and Shelby County for their prompt responses to my open records inquiries. Hopefully we can see more of this in the future.
Open Records At City HallTuesday, August 2nd, 2016
Open Records At City Hall
August 2, 2016
It seems that the Commercial Appeal has finally had a falling out with City Hall on the subject of open records and transparency. (Read the Ca article from last Saturday).
I have been an advocate of open records and full and complete access to all records for many years. I have filed numerous successful lawsuits to enforce my access. You only have to look at Washington DC to see what lengths politicians will go to hide their thoughts and actions.
Now I am not accusing Jim Strickland of doing this. I know Jim and he is a good person. I think he is on the right path financially to right the Memphis ship. Finances are improving as long as he stays on basics and away from expensive new dream projects.
Now as to what the changes he has put in place. Basically he wants to control the message and he does not want the public and particularly the media to contact his people directly. Now the Tennessee Open Records Law has a section that says the following.
(2) (A) All state, county and municipal records shall, at all times during business hours, which for public hospitals shall be during the business hours of their administrative offices, be open for personal inspection by any citizen of this state, and those in charge of the records shall not refuse such right of inspection to any citizen, unless otherwise provided by state law.
(a) (1) (A) As used in this part and title 8, chapter 4, part 6, "public record or records" or "state record or records" means all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, photographs, microfilms, electronic data processing files and output, films, sound recordings or other material, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any governmental agency.
I have seen the best and the worst of transparency in government. My opinion is that the City of Memphis under Jim Strickland has improved from past administrations. Most of the information that I want is online such as pension, OPEB and CAFR financial reports. The main area needed is access to electronic communications such as emails, text messages and other forms of social media communications. Concerning emails and text messages I would propose a new protocol for the future.
As seen with the recent Germantown emails controversy, here is what I propose to solve the high cost of paying lawyers to redact open records requests for a series of emails.
My ANSWER to this redaction problem is a new email protocol that should be adopted by all bodies subject to the Tennessee Open Records Law. This new protocol would apply to all new emails and text messages. Under this protocol the body of the email or text message would be public information. If needed there would be two types of attachments to the basic email text. #1 attachment would be any data that is open to the public. #2 attachment would be any information that is specifically mentioned in the Tennessee open records law as not public information such as addresses, social security information, restricted medical information and exempted legal communications. Then when a request for emails comes in from the public, the requested emails could be easily sent without any #2 attachments containing redactable information. This would do away with the high priced lawyers reading through a bunch of emails. The creators of the emails would have to be trained in the new electronic communications protocol. No personal messages would be allowed on public paid for email services. A public transparency board should be created in each Tennessee County to periodically review randomly selected emails and text messages to insure compliance with the new protocol.
Let's face it. Generally politicians hate open records and transparency and they will use the expense gambit to restrict public access to their records. I would appreciate your thoughts on my proposal for a new public records creation protocol. It seems to me a low cost answer to the "I have to hire a lawyer to redact those email requests" from local politicians. Transparency and open records comes from the top. Lack of transparency comes from the same place.
The Open Records FightMonday, July 25th, 2016
July 25, 2016
There was an interesting editorial in the Commercial Appeal last Sunday concerning Germantown open records and the battle with Jon Thompson and Sarah Wilkerson-Freeman in order to get information on Germantown government salary, insurance and other perks. Congratulations to Thompson and Freeman. I have been fighting this open records battle since 2004.
Recently I asked the MLGW for current electronic copies of their annual pension and OPEB reports. I asked by email. I received an electronic copy of an open records request form which I filled out and signed electronically and sent it in. I then received the following message.
"Good afternoon, your documents are available for pickup. You can come to the Administration building and the documents will be at the security station." I then objected to this bureaucratic requirement and sent my objections to Mr. Thompson (MLGW), Mayor Strickland and many others. I eventually got the electronic copies that I asked for and you can now look at the MLGW pension report and the MLGW OPEB report at www.memphisshelbyinform.com.
Now the Tennessee Open Records law does not require furnishing electronic copies but governments with a fully open records policy will furnish the information in electronic format because it is cheaper and easier and nearly all data is already in electronic format. If they want to discourage open records requests they will require you to travel down to their office and pick it up at the security desk.
I like the MLGW and their utility services. Very professional. President Jerry Collins is a great manager and runs a well trained and effective company. I call on the MLGW to put this information (pensions and OPEB) on their website and keep it updated. I also ask them to publish a return on investment report for their smart meter program to show the public how this program will be paid for and the return on the rate payers' investment.
Now as to the pension and OPEB reports. Shelby County published their annual pension and OPEB reports online. The City of Memphis and MLGW do not.
The MLGW pension fund has a net value of $1.32 billion and $118 million of unfunded liability.
The City of Memphis pension fund has a net value of $2 billion and $533 million of unfunded liability. The City of Memphis does not publish their annual pension report online.
The Shelby County pension fund has a net value of $1.1 billion and $316 million of unfunded liability.
The MLGW OPEB fund has a net value of $333 million and $461 million of unfunded liability.
The City of Memphis OPEB fund has a net value of $17 million and $730 million of unfunded liability. The City of Memphis does not publish their annual OPEB report online.
The Shelby County OPEB fund has a net value of $197 million and $101 million of unfunded liability.
The trouble spots are shown underlined above. Again Shelby County leads in local government in open records policy and fiscal responsibility. I urge you to let local governments know what information you think should be put on their website. What are your thoughts on transparency in government?
Lack of Transparency On Local ContractsTuesday, July 19th, 2016

Lack of Transparency On Local Contracts
I have been investigating the barriers companies have to jump over in order to do business with local governments. As an advocate of open records and transparency, I measure the contract information transparency available to the public (taxpayers are the financiers of government purchases). Therefore let us look at what we (the taxpayers) get to know about government purchases and the cost of trying to direct a percentage of government business to minority, women (MWSBE minority, women small business enterprises) or locally owned small businesses (LOSB).
I was told recently that the County Commission passed a charter amendment a few years back (city also) that any contract over $100k requires 20% minority participation. Bidders include that in their pricing of the project.
I checked to verify the information and was told that the information was not exactly correct. The Locally Owned Small Business (LOSB) ordinance was passed by the County in 2007 and established a target of 20% of all purchases to be awarded to LOSB's. There is a bidding advantage for LOSB's of 5% for contracts up to $500,000; 3.5% for contracts up to $750,000; 2.5% for contracts up to $1,000,000 and 2% for contracts over $1,000,000. For large construction projects the county normally establishes a LOSB percentage requirement. According to the source, the County has met the LOSB target each year.
The City of Memphis has the following statement.
WHEREAS, the City of Memphis desires to be proactive in ensuring that economic opportunities in the Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) are equally available to all individuals or businesses, including minority and women-owned businesses, regardless of race, gender or ethnicity.
Certified AABE (African American black enterprise), HBE (Hispanic American business enterprise), ABE Asian American Business Enterprise, NABE (Native American Business Enterprise), or WBE (Women business enterprise) shall mean an AABE, HBE, ABE, NABE or WBE which has been certified by a City approved central certification agency and approved by the Office of Contract Compliance (OCC).
The initial annual MWBE goals shall be:
- a. Goals for Subcontracting Construction:
- (16 %) – Minority
- (3 %) – Women
- (19 %) – Total goal
- b. Goals for Prime Construction:
- (15 %) – Minority
- (3 %) – Women
- (18 %) – Total goal
- c. Goals for Architecture & Engineering Services:
- (22 %) – Minority
- (7 %) – Women
- (29 %) – Total goal
- d. Goals for Goods and Supplies:
- (12 %) – Minority
- (1 %) – Women
- (13 %) – Total goal
- e. Goals for Non-Professional Services:
- (23 %) – Minority
- (2 %) – Women
- (25 %) – Total goal
- f. Goals for Professional Services:
- (13 %) – Minority
- (2 %) – Women
- (15 %) – Total goal
The annual goals provided above shall be reviewed annually by the EBO advisory committee. These overall MWBE participation goals are only intended to be benchmarks evaluating the overall performance of the EBO program on an annual basis. These participation goals are not and, shall not be quotas for purposes of determining or satisfying annual participation goals.
I have tried to find the actual results of this program but I cannot find anything online. It may be there but I cannot find it. I will ask the City of Memphis in an open records request. What I want for the public to know is the results of the City and County small business and minority programs. What are the percentages and what did it cost over and above lowest and best bid for the work? We, the taxpaying public, deserve to know.
Why Is Doing Business With Local Government So Closed and Difficult?Tuesday, July 5th, 2016
Why Is Doing Business With Local Government So Closed and Difficult?
July 5, 2016
I have wondered about this question for a long time. I have talked to many local business owners and almost all of them say that it is too expensive and difficult to bid on city of county business. I decided to look into how the City and County buy stuff and what we as taxpayers get to know about the successful vendor and how the vendor was selected. What do I, as a taxpayer, want to know?
- If it is a negotiated contract, I want to know who was contacted, who bid and who was selected and why that firm was selected. If more than one firm was contacted for negotiations, I want to know those firms and their bids.
- If it is a sealed bid contract, then I want to see all the bids after opening and if the lowest bid was not selected I want to know the reasons.
- I want to know the qualification process for being accepted as a possible city or county vendor. What do they have to do to get on the qualification list and is the process of qualification really necessary?
I recently met with a ranking County official and we discussed the above points. He wants to open up the sealed bid process so that the public will get to see online the winning bidder and the reasons the winning bidder was chosen over the low bidder if that is the result of the sealed bid process. Currently this is not the case for either the City or the County. We did not discuss the negotiated contract process but I feel that he would be open to more public information about that process. Negotiated contract are necessary in many cases due to time restraints and emergencies and thereby the taxpayers have to have trust in their public officials. By the same process, these public officials have to earn this trust by being open in their dealings and by making open records their gold standard.
The problem with this whole purchasing area is the clamor for equal opportunity and minority access to public contracts. Therefore there is a whole infrastructure set up which is difficult for the average business to navigate. Many just say on the front end that they will not bid public work because it is too difficult and costly to jump over the hurdles. This difficult qualification process necessarily raises the cost of the purchased goods. Here are some examples of what is necessary to even bid on public work.
City of Memphis: click on this: http://www.memphistn.gov/Business.aspx/SupplierRegistration.aspx
Then go here: http://www.memphistn.gov/Government/BusinessDiversityCompliance/ContractCompliance.aspx
And then to here: http://www.memphistn.gov/Business.aspx/Certification.aspx
The Shelby County process is similar but somewhat simpler. However both registration and certification processes are difficult because of the minority and equal opportunity concerns. I want minorities to get a share of the business but I want the taxpayers to be able to see on line that they are doing so and to see what cost we have to pay if the successful bidder is not the one with the lowest price. What premium would you be willing to pay for this objective? Eventually I want open competition between vendors without regard to race, color or any other factor.
Again the County is leading the way in opening their records and they deserve credit for this leadership.
A Solution For Germantown's And Any Government Open Records ProblemMonday, June 20th, 2016
A Solution For Germantown's And Any Government Open Records Problem
June 20, 2016
There was an article in the Commercial Appeal yesterday concerning a large request for emails in Germantown.
This is part of the article. Germantown, which has paid more than $62,000 in the first half of the year in attorney fees generated by citizen open records requests, is looking to Nashville for relief.
In meetings with Shelby County lawmakers and the state Attorney General, city leaders are researching ways to limit the city's exposure from the cost of producing large data requests, including potentially charging the costs back to the citizens making the requests.
"Asking for four years of someone's email — all of them — is not normal," Mayor Mike Palazzolo said. "Asking for a police report dated Jan. 17, 2009, to clear up an insurance manner is routine. But a wide-cast net that takes up our professionals' time and legal staff to review is something residents need to know is very costly."
The City of Germantown's proposed budget for next year includes a 64 percent increase (from $350,000 to $575,000) in legal fees. City staff suggested an $80,000 increase, but aldermen upped it to $225,000 — for the $575,000 total — based on the size of the legal bills the city is receiving to blackout sensitive data in City Administrator Patrick Lawton's emails.
In December, resident Sarah Wilkerson-Freeman requested two years of his email, including all attachments.
Under law, governments in Tennessee may charge 15 cents a copy plus labor costs for requests that take more than an hour for staff to gather.
Wilkerson-Freeman has asked to inspect the data, which is free, and then requests copies made of pages she wants.
The problem with this type of open ended request is "REDACTION OF INFORMATION WHICH IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC." This non public information could be such things as social security numbers, home addresses, private medical information and other non public information according to the Tennessee Open Records law.
My ANSWER to this redaction problem is a new email protocol that should be adopted by all bodies subject to the Tennessee Open Records Law. This new protocol would apply to all new emails and text messages. Under this protocol the body of the email or text message would be public information. If needed there would be two types of attachments to the basic email text. #1 attachment would be any data that is open to the public. #2 attachment would be any information that is specifically mentioned in the Tennessee open records law as not public information such as addresses, social security information, restricted medical information and exempted legal communications. Then when a request for emails comes in from the public, the requested emails could be easily sent without any #2 attachments containing redactable information. This would do away with the high prices lawyers reading through a bunch of emails. The creators of the emails would have to be trained in the new electronic communications protocol. No personal messages would be allowed on public paid for email services. A public transparency board should be created in each Tennessee County to periodically review emails and text messages to insure compliance with the new protocol.
Any email sent from a government entity, or agent thereof, from a private email account that would otherwise be considered a public record should be carbon copied or forwarded to an official email account created for the purpose of the government entity, or agent thereof, to maintain transparency of and provide a record of that public information.
Let's face it. Generally politicians hate open records and transparency and they will use the expense gambit to restrict public access to their records. I would appreciate your thoughts on my proposal for a new public records creation protocol. It seems to me a low cost answer to the "I have to hire a lawyer to redact those email requests" from local politicians. Transparency and open records comes from the top. Lack of transparency comes from the same place.
How The West Got RichMonday, May 23rd, 2016
How The West Got Rich
May 23, 2016
There was a fascinating article in last Saturday's Wall Street Journal. I want to point it out because it will be at the heart of our upcoming 2016 presidential election. We hear the talking heads speaking about gender-less bathrooms, free stuff for everyone, income disparity, redistribution of income, taxes, the benefits of socialism, bullying and lots of other issues.
The number one issue in survey after survey is the economy and this is what this article is all about. Look and read some of the facts.
Two centuries ago, the average world income per human (in present-day prices) was about $3 a day. It had been so since we lived in caves. Now it is $33 a day—which is Brazil's current level and the level of the U.S. in 1940. Over the past 200 years, the average real income per person—including even such present-day tragedies as Chad and North Korea—has grown by a factor of 10. It is stunning. In countries that adopted trade and economic betterment wholeheartedly, like Japan, Sweden and the U.S., it is more like a factor of 30—even more stunning.
Now we have people calling for a change to our system in order to make it more like Cuba, Venezuela and a long list of countries run by top down federal bureaucracies.
Here is the explanation of how our society got these wonderful improvements. What enriched the modern world wasn't capital stolen from workers or capital virtuously saved, nor was it institutions for routinely accumulating it. Capital and the rule of law were necessary, of course, but so were a hard working labor force and liquid water and the arrow of time.
The capital became productive because of ideas for betterment—ideas enacted by a country carpenter or a boy telegrapher or a teenage Seattle computer whiz. As Matt Ridley put it in his book "The Rational Optimist" (2010), what happened over the past two centuries is that "ideas started having sex." The idea of a railroad was a coupling of high-pressure steam engines with cars running on coal-mining rails. The idea for a lawn mower coupled a miniature gasoline engine with a miniature mechanical reaper. And so on, through every imaginable sort of invention. The coupling of ideas in the heads of the common people yielded an explosion of betterments.
The other day I heard a report about our current Vice President, Joe Biden, wondering what he would do after the upcoming election. He has never had a private sector job working for a "for profit" company in his life. Neither has Barack Obama or most of the Washington DC politicians and bureaucrats. Let us get back to returning government to the people with important decisions made at the state and level local, empower local thinkers and entrepreneurs, and reduce the size of the DC bureaucracy. Do you believe in the benefits of legal and fair capitalism or do you want a radical change in our system?
Bureaucracy Is Alive And WellThursday, May 12th, 2016

Bureaucracy Is Alive And Well
Bureaucracy exists not only in Washington DC where it thrives and continues to grow, but right here locally in Shelby County Tennessee. Here is an example.
A number of years ago I filed up to six lawsuits (pro se, for myself) in Chancery Court. When faced with a recalcitrant government agency that refused to comply with our Tennessee Open Records laws I would troop down to Chancery Court with lawsuit papers in hand and plunk down $211.50 CASH money and file the suit. Sometime later when the lawsuit papers were delivered to the Respondent I would sometimes get the requested access action. Other times I would have to wait for the respondent to show up (or not show up) in court. I remember one time waiting in Judge Golden's chancery court for an attorney from the old Memphis School System to show up. They failed to show up and when I spoke to the court I requested my $211.50 back and an additional $1000 for, my time and expenses. Judge Golden gave me the right for the $211.50 but refused the $1000. The reason for the refusal was that I was not a lawyer and had filed pro se. I guess the legal fraternity sticks together. The judge is a great guy and later when we meet at a gathering, we laughed about the incident.
However apparently I failed to receive back one of the $211.50 fees and I received the attached letter from Chancery Court. I went downtown to Chancery Court and filled out the requested form. The young lady that helped me said that I would be notified when the check was available to be picked up. I requested that the check be mailed and she said that their policy was that checks could only be mailed to out of town people but that I would have to pick up the check in person since I lived in Memphis. "NO MAILING LOCALLY WAS NOT PERMISSIBLE!". I offered to pay for mailing but that was refused. 17 MILES DOWNTOWN, PARKING FEE, GO THROUGH SECURITY, PICK UP CHECK, 17 MILES BACK HOME. Bureaucracy at work right here in River City.
They said that I would be notified when the check was available. When I received no notice I emailed the Court but still got no answer. The next time I was downtown I went to the Court and sure enough I got the check. I hurried and deposited it as soon as possible.
Now the thing that really galled me was my knowledge that this was the same Court that suffered a $1 million loss beginning in 2008 and ending with a conviction in 2012. So much for the vigilance of bureaucracy!

Solutions for Chapter 24 Problem 49P
To measure the focal length of a diverging lens, a converging lens of known power and focal length is placed in contact with it. Focal length of the combination is measured by allowing the Sun's rays to fall on the combination and focusing the rays at a point. Focal length of the diverging lens is calculated using the formula for equivalent focal length of two lenses in contact.

HTCE Fast: Molten Chocolate Cake
Every other Wednesday, I'm featuring one of my favorite recipes from How to Cook Everything Fast. If you cook it, too, I want to see it—tag it on social media with #HTCEFast. And enjoy!
A four-star dessert that bakes in less than 10 minutes.
1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the ramekins
4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons flour, plus more for dusting the ramekins
What Is the Purpose of Society?
The world of food and agriculture symbolizes most of what's gone wrong in the United States. But because food is plentiful for most people, and the damage that conventional agriculture does isn't readily evident to everyone, it's important that we look deeper, beyond food, to the structure that underlies most decisions: the political economy.
Progressives are not thinking broadly or creatively enough. By failing to pressure Democrats to take strong stands on everything from environmental protection to gun control to income inequality, progressives allow the party to use populist rhetoric while making America safer for business than it is for Americans. No one seriously believes that Hillary Clinton will ever put the interests of Main Street before those of her donors from Wall Street, do they? At least not unless she's pushed, and hard.
It's clear to most everyone, regardless of politics, that the big issues — labor, race, food, immigration, education and so on — must be "fixed," and that fixing any one of these will help with the others. But this kind of change must begin with an agreement about principles, specifically principles of human rights and well-being rather than principles of making a favorable business climate.

HTCE Fast: Cheddar Waffles with Bacon Maple Syrup
Every Wednesday, I'm featuring one of my favorite recipes from How to Cook Everything Fast. If you cook it, too, I want to see it—tag it on social media with #HTCEFast. And enjoy!
These cheddar waffles are an addictive mix of sweet and savory. They bake up crisp and rich like grilled cheese sandwiches, only with the classic flavors of breakfast on top.
Vegetable oil
6 slices bacon
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (1 cup grated)
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
3/4 cup maple syrup
Good Riddance to the Foam Take-Out Carton
Strike another blow against so-called convenience and bring back the paper coffee cup with the Greek columns: foam cups and other polystyrene foam packaging, even packing "peanuts," are going bye-bye in New York City.
They're already banned, or will be, in over 100 jurisdictions in the United States, including the District of Columbia; Seattle; Portland, Ore.; Minneapolis and San Francisco, and some 90 other municipalities in California. But the New York City move may signal the death knell for the stuff most of us call by its common (and technically misapplied) name, Styrofoam.

HTCE Fast: Jambalaya des Herbes with Shrimp
Every Wednesday, I'm featuring one of my favorite recipes from How to Cook Everything Fast. If you cook it, too, I want to see it—tag it on social media with #HTCEFast. And enjoy!
To accommodate Catholics who were abstaining from meat during Lent, a vegetarian version of gumbo with lots of greens—gumbo z'herbes—was often served in New Orleans. This recipe takes the same approach with another bayou classic, jambalaya.
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion
2 celery stalks
2 green bell peppers
2 garlic cloves
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 large ripe tomatoes (1 pound)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 bay leaves
1 bunch fresh parsley
1 pound peeled shrimp
Hot sauce for serving (optional)
Let's Address the State of Food
The state of the union, food-wise, is not good. The best evidence is that more than 46.5 million Americans are receiving SNAP benefits — formerly food stamps — a number that has not changed much since 2013, when it reached its highest level ever.
Even if you allow for fraud, which barely exists (imagine being so desperate that you'd risk imprisonment for $130 a month; I doubt you can), the number would be far higher if everyone who was eligible knew it, if pride and stigma were not issues and if it were easier to enroll. Still, 15 percent of the nation is bad enough; it's roughly equivalent to the population of Spain.
Simple Stocks for Soup on the Fly
For years, I've written about the merits of homemade stock (or at least stock made by a real person), even insisting that if it's a choice between canned or boxed stocks and water, you're better off with water. At their best, the canned and boxed versions taste like salt; at their worst, like chemicals.
But here's the problem with homemade stock: It's so good that it doesn't last long. What's needed is something you can produce more or less on the spot. Although water is a suitable proxy in small quantities, when it comes to making the bubbling, chest-warming soups that we rely on this time of year, water needs some help.
Fortunately, there are almost certainly flavorful ingredients sitting in your fridge or pantry that can transform water into a good stock in a matter of minutes. The process may be as simple as simmering in water fresh herbs, mushrooms or even tea, or browning aromatics to create richness, or adding staples like crushed tomatoes or coconut milk. To further maximize flavor in minimal time, it pays to reach for ingredients that pack a punch, like miso, anchovies, chipotles, Parmesan rinds, sometimes even leftovers.

HTCE Fast: Ricotta Dumplings with Spinach and Brown Butter
Every Wednesday, I'm featuring one of my favorite recipes from How to Cook Everything Fast. If you cook it, too, I want to see it—tag it on social media with #HTCEFast. And enjoy!
There is no homemade pasta faster to whip up than ricotta dumplings. The only part that requires patience is cooking them in batches so you don't overload the pot. It's worth the short wait, though; these are downright luxurious.
6 ounces Parmesan cheese (1 1/2 cups grated)
2 eggs
2 cups ricotta cheese
3/4 cup to 1 cup flour
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
1 bunch spinach (1 pound)

Can you spot what separates the 620S from the 620 (previously known as the Prestige 60)? It's in front of the flying bridge and it is for people who want the best of both worlds.
The 620S started out life at the 60S but was refined with the 2013 model year change with a slightly longer swim platform and renamed as 620S.
Prestige Yachts' design team headed by Vittorio Garroni can be credited for creating the 620S which combines the style and sporty feel of an express yacht with the comforts and room of flying bridge motoryacht. I think it is a clever marriage and for me, at least, the new 620S has the best of both worlds.
Mission Statement
Prestige has set out to dominate the mid-range yachting market by making luxurious, functional yachts priced significantly below the competition. The Prestige 620S is a motoryacht that is meant to be used and cruised by people who appreciate boats and boating, but who also like the open-air feel that only an express with sunroof can provide.
Overview 2
Distinguishing Features
Some distinguishing features of the 620S--
• Center mounted helm. The helm on the flybridge deck is mounted on the centerline with two observers seats on either side. To me this is a much more natural location to operate from rather than the port or starboard side. This position also gave a good view of the transom by looking down the open hatch of the companionway.
• Wide side decks. Here is an area where builders typically favor adding interior space at the expense of the side decks. Not so on the Prestige 620S. With her 15'8" (1.73 m) beam Prestige was able to accommodate easy to transition side decks and have a roomy interior as well.
• Galley up and aft. To my eye this is the best arrangement possible. Having the galley up on the main deck makes a boat designed for spending the days above decks and the nights below decks. Moving the galley aft centrally locates it between the main salon dining area and the aft cockpit dining area while at the same time and ensuring that the chef remains an integral part of any gathering.
Relatively high bulwarks on the flying bridge. European designs generally have very low bulwarks on the flying bridge in order to keep the boat's lines low and sleek. Some builders go so far as to say that their flying bridges are really not flying bridges at all but rather are "sun decks" with a helm added for convenience. Because the helm on the 620S has been moved aft it allowed the designers to raise the deck leading to the helm and does not distract from the aesthetics of the boat.
Pricing. The pricing of the Prestige 620S is remarkable for a 60' motoryacht.
Engine Performance
Test Numbers
So now we get to the meat of it. Our test Prestige 620S has a light displacement weight of 49,607 lbs. (22,500 kg). We had 3/4 fuel and five people onboard.
The twin 700-hp Volvo Penta D11 with IPS900 drives reached a top speed at 2400 rpm and a respectable 31.5 knots. At that speed we were burning a combined 69 gph for a range of 304 nautical miles.
Best cruise. Best cruise is subjective as we were getting practically the same MPG from 1500 rpm all the way up to WOT. But if I had to choose a comfortable best cruise, particularly if I was driving the boat from the flying bridge, it would be at 2030 rpm and 24 kts. At that speed we were burning 49 gph for a range of 326 nautical miles, just five nautical miles less than our technical best cruise.

Sarah and Andy have their first driving lesson while Rhea is awkward as she can be, before the four teenagers leave the Lake District.
