A Tennessee restaurant should never score below a 90. Period. Any conscientious restaurant manager or fastidious health department inspector (they like to be called "environmentalists") will tell you that.

However, the fact is sometimes a restaurant's critical violation is really an environmentalist's judgment call.

Sometimes, they get it wrong.

Like the time a health department environmentalist slapped a Mexican restaurant with a critical violation for "improperly labeled" containers sitting on the pantry shelf with food items.

The containers' labels read "ajo" and "cebolla," respectively. 

"Garlic."  "Onion."

The restaurant's kitchen staff had labeled them in Spanish because, surprise, the staff speaks Spanish. You know, being a Mexican place and all.

But the environmentalist docked the establishment for not labeling the containers in English. 

MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) - Blight is a reality for the children in the Frayser community, who stumble through filth every day on their way to class.

"Why do we have crime?" asked Memphis Mayor A C Wharton.  "This is just the Statue of Liberty to criminals."

The Wharton administration and the district attorney's office are joining forces to battle blight.

In order to hold property owners accountable, Wharton said the city has been forced to chase property owners from Florida to California.

"If they were drug dealers, we could understand why they are just hiding," said Wharton.  "But if you're just an honest American, why don't you come on out and show your face?"

The city said two-thirds of the 138 lawsuits filed in 2010 have resulted in demolition or rehabilitation of those properties.  Eighty-six more lawsuits will be filed in Shelby County Environmental Court on Wednesday.

Leasing is often a dicey option for new cars, let alone used ones.

Although leasing is economically attractive because it typically offers less (or no) money down and lower monthly payments than purchasing a vehicle, leasing also includes a lot of fees:  end-of-lease fees, mileage fees, wear-and-tear, damage deductions, etc.

In fact, consumer advocate Clark Howard (www.clarkhoward.com) advised consumers should only consider leasing a new vehicle if a manufacturer is offering to subsidize the lease or if a dealership is offering excellent leasing incentives in order to move a bloated inventory.

But Howard added consumers should never consider leasing a used vehicle.
