AMERICA'S HOSTS: Steve Inskeep and Renee Montagne; NEWSCASTS: Paul Brown, Jean Cochran
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA HOST: Donna Apidone; NEWSCASTS: Steve Shadley

Here are some highlights of today's show:

Kevin Johnson bases much of his campaign for mayor on his work at Sacramento High School, and that may, in fact, tell what kind of leader he is.  KXJZ' Ben Adler reports at 6:33 and 8:33.

Italian singer-songwriter Chiara Civello reflects on the music she heard as a teenager growing up in Rome.  Her conversation with KXJZ's Jeffrey Callison this morning at 5:33 and 7:33

We'll hear the latest on relief efforts in southwestern China, where aid workers are congregating from across the country. Thousands of troops have been sent to repair dangerous cracks in the region s dams, which could pose further threats.  That's at 6:21 and again at 8:21.

In today’s Your Health, the President’s Council on Fitness and Sports has unveiled a fitness test for adults on the Internet. It s similar to one that students take each year, but instead of getting a certificate signed by President Bush, the adults can see how their scores rank nationally. At 6:40 and 8:40.

I'm off tomorrow.  Steve Shadley will fill in.

Thanks for listening.
