Tennessee Solar Institute; Campaign 101

One of the big stories of the past week was the announcement by Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen of a joint effort by the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in creating a Tennessee Solar Institute.

The governor says funding, about $30 million, will come from federal stimulus money.

UT Executive Vice President David Millhorn discusses the governor's plan.

Perhaps you've considered running for public office but didn't know quite how to start? That's what Campaign 101 is all about.

The seminar is sponsored by Leadership Knoxville.
