AMERICA'S HOSTS: Renee Montagne and Steve Inskeep; NEWSCASTS: Carl Kasell, Jean Cochran
CALIFORNIA/NEVADA HOST: Donna Apidone; NEWSCASTS: Steve Shadley

Here are some highlights of today's show:

Gas are prices going -- and staying -- higher.  We'll hear about different ways Americans are coping with high gas prices. That's at 5:40 and 7:40.  Tomorrow we'll hear about how a city of freeways is adapting to high gas prices. 

People can never be certain if their e-mail is private. But some people aren't taking any chances and are using encryption to gain privacy. The service is provided with Microsoft Outlook and even free "PGP" software.  Very few people take advantage of the software.  Our email series continues at 6:21 and 8:21.

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience journal, says that facial expressions, like a frown of disgust, may actually have a purpose that goes beyond simple communication. I'd love to see the look on your face at 6:40 and 8:40.

Have a great morning.  Thanks for listening.
