Join me for the Jazz Jubilee this Sunday!  I'll be on stage and on air with Gary Vercelli and Paul Conley Sunday evening from 5 to 11 at the Holiday Inn in downtown Sacramento.  See you there!

Here are some highlights of today's show:

Sacramento residents will go to the polls in two weeks to vote for Mayor.  Mayor Heather Fargo will say why she believes she should be re-elected this morning at 5:33 and 7:33.  Kevin Johnson feels he's qualified for the job.  We'll hear from him this morning at 6:33 and 8:33.

In Chengu, China, people panicked last night after a warning of a major aftershock. The official warning sent people running out into the streets hoping to escape the city for a safety. The area was devastated by a powerful earthquake last week. We'll have an update at 6:15 and again at 8:15.

Vegetarians and meat eaters don't always see eye-to-eye on dinner choices. To keep the peace, scientists have been working on a way to create meat without sacrificing an animal.  The meat is grown in a laboratory.  NPR Senior Correspondent Ketzel Levine explores the world of tissue-cultured meat.  That story at 7:50.

Thanks for listening.
