[MMMMMM PADDLEFISH]
A lawsuit filed in Davidson County has commercial fishermen challenging the state's efforts to limit the taking of a fish species that produces caviar-like eggs. Paddlefish are coveted for their eggs, which can be processed into caviar. The new rules say fishermen have to throw back Paddlefish...if they're shorter than 37-inches this season...except in the Mississippi River.

[NURSING HOMES]
A new law effectively changes the Tenn-Care program to more evenly distribute $1-point-2 billion dollars between nursing homes and home-and-community base service providers.
