Dogs of all shapes and sizes were welcomed into the cool waters of the Haynesfield Pool on Tuesday. The parks and recreation department says it has been a record breaking year for the pool in terms of swimmers and they thought it would be a great idea to cap off the summer by letting a few four legged friends take a dip.

He's served very little value to the More >

That is despite a statewide effort to curb over-prescribing that includes a controlled substance database meant to curb prescription drug abuse and education programs for physicians about proper prescribing practices.
"There has been a slow but steady decline," said Dr. Roland Gray, who teaches a proper prescribing class for the Tennessee Safety Prescription Program. "It's a difficult problem. A lot of drugs have legitimate uses, and people need medication and most are properly using those meds."

Tennessee Tech-TCU Preview
Sep 7th
TCU survived what may end up being its biggest test of the season in its opener. The Horned Frogs will now look to stay focused against a considerably less formidable opponent.
