Tennessee House Convenes Second Session of 107th General Assembly

January 15, 2012 |

Redistricting plan passes following intense negotiations
 
Nashville, TN – The Tennessee General Assembly kicked off the second year of the 107th General Assembly this week and passed a constitutionally required redistricting plan to adhere to new census numbers, said Rep. Joe Pitts.
 
“I voted against this legislation because the voting public deserved the opportunity to see the redistricting plan that will determine their House District in the Tennessee House of Representatives for the next ten years.  Taking a few extra days to publicize the new district lines would have greatly improved the process and plan, and would have enabled me to vote for the plan. The lack of public input on issues of importance that only come around every ten years should always be a great concern.” said Rep. Joe Pitts (D-Clarksville). “My focus now will be on creating jobs here in Tennessee and improving the public education system for our students and teachers.”

By Frazier Allen | January 15, 2012 |

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

The economic calendar was thin. Retail sales disappointed in December, rising just 0.1%. However, sales rose 0.3% if one excludes the 1.6% decline in gasoline sales (which reflected lower gasoline prices). In addition, November sales were revised slightly higher. Auto dealership sales advanced 1.5% last month. Sales of building materials rose 1.6%. Core retail sales, which exclude autos, building materials, and gasoline, slipped 0.2%, but still advanced at a somewhat fast pace in 4Q11. Jobless claims rose sharply, but it’s not unusually to see large week-to-week swings this time of year (due to the difficulties in seasonal adjustment).

Expectations for Europe varied, with some concern about the pace of reforms in Greece and rumors of possible downgrades of European sovereign debt. A three-day weekend may have limited the amount of risk-taking in the U.S., weakening share prices. «Read the rest of this article»

Humble Biscuit Bread Pudding Inspires Stylish Summer Dessert

January 15, 2012 |

Nashville, TN – Over the past few years, bread puddings have emerged as the decadent darling of trendy chefs and cooks.

“These rich new versions of the classic bread pudding are a far cry from its humble beginnings,” said Martha White® baking expert Linda Carman. “Bread pudding was the creation of frugal cooks looking for ways to use stale bread and make the most of their eggs, milk and sugar. Bread puddings have been made for hundreds of years all over the world, so a Southern version made with biscuits was bound to happen.”
