Enjoy Thanksgiving without raising risks of Diabetes
Tennessee Department of Health Shares Healthy Holiday Cooking, Eating Tips
Nashville, TN – If your Thanksgiving plans include lifting weights for 10 hours or going for a seven-hour run after dinner, enjoy your meal without worries. That’s how much activity it takes to burn the 4,000 calories many will consume as they work their way through turkey with all the trimmings.
But if you plan to linger around the table and take a nap or spend time on the sofa after eating, your future might hold glucose meters and insulin injections, both part of life for Tennessee’s growing number of individuals with diabetes. While blood sugar testing and shots may not seem too difficult to handle, blindness, kidney failure and loss of limbs are the serious consequences for some who develop diabetes. «Read the rest of this article»

Veteran’s Day Parade Through the Photographers Eyes
Clarksville, TN – When I woke up this morning, I had forgotten that the Veteran’s Day parade was being held today. You see, I teach beginning digital photography for the Community School of the Arts (CSA) on Saturday mornings, and as I was nearing Austin Peay, I saw that 8th Street and College Streets were blocked and still didn’t realize what was going on. I had to detour to get to my class and so did all of my students.
When we got to the classroom we discussed the parade and what a fabulous learning experience it would be for the class. Everyone grabbed their cameras and to the parade we went. All we had to do was walk outside the classroom and we were at the parade with a perfect spot to watch.

The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of November 11th, 2012
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist
After all the fund raising, primaries, conventions, robocalls commercials, and actual voting, the leadership in Washington remains the same. President Obama was given another four years. The Republicans retained control of the House of Representatives. The Democrats kept control of the Senate, picking up one seat despite having many more seats to defend. The stock market rallied on Election Day, despite tough odds for Governor Romney (based on the electoral map and recent polls).
The stock market fell sharply after the election results, partly reflecting disappointment that Romney didn’t win, but more importantly, as investor attention turned toward the fiscal cliff. The fiscal cliff (mostly the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, the end of the 2% reduction in payroll taxes, and forced spending cuts following the failure of the Super Committee last year) does not hit all at once. If a deal is not reached by the end of the year, President Obama and the new Congress have several weeks to reach a deal in 2013 before the economy weakens. Unfortunately, the two sides remain far apart on how to reduce the budget deficit. «Read the rest of this article»
