Emission Mission
Mike Gibson takes an instructive walk through the National Transportation Research Center and describes how the center's prime goal is in the development of technologies to make motor vehicles more efficient to curb U.S. dependence on foreign oil and make inroads into the growing problem of air pollution.

Citybeat
The campaigns for seats on Knox County's school board strike a common note, Betty Bean reports, and she goes on to describe the district races and the candidates.
Plus: Seven Days, Meet your City, and Knoxville Found.

Joe Sullivan looks for the mark made by Nine Counties, One Vision in Insights, Barry Henderson urges the County Commission to hold the line against the unconstitutional God resolution in Editor's Corner, Jack Neely pays homage to one of Market Square's co-donors in Secret History, Matt Edens ponders the Accidental Knoxvillian, and Glenn Reynolds finds a few things he could do without in our fair city.


Our Sacred Ditty
Jack Neely takes exception to the acceptance of Lee Greenwood's gushy theme, "God Bless the USA" as a "second national anthem," and he illustrates some misconceptions the song puts on the table.


Leslie Wylie finds that Glossary of band-poor Murfreesboro is neither a synonym nor antonym for Southern rock. And Jesse Morton catches The Cuts between monikers.

The fuss about U.K. Rapper Dizzee Rascal's Boy in da Corner; the landmark Festival in the Desert comes alive; and trumpeter Nicholas Payton mingles noodling with melody on Sonic Trance in Platters.

Five Guys Named Moe offers 24 songs by Louis Jordan, fancy footwork and the chance for audience members to be part of the show. Paige M. Travis eschews the conga line but still digs the spirit of the energetic revue.
