AMERICA'S HOSTS: Steve Inskeep and Deborah Amos; NEWSCASTS: Carl Kasell, Jean Cochran
CALIFORNIA/NEVADA HOST: Donna Apidone; NEWSCASTS: Steve shadley

Here are some highlights of today's show:

Tuesday is the day we air segments from Sacramento StoryCorps.  Alice Hayashi still has strong memories of her family's life in an internment camp.  Series curator Paul Conley shares that story with us this morning at 6:35 and 8:35.

In Serbia yesterday, one of the world's most wanted war criminals was arrested. Radovan Karadzic, the former leader of Serb nationalist forces in Bosnia was captured in a raid. He had been a fugitive since his indictment on war crime charges more than a decade ago. That story, and reactions from Serbia, at 6:10 and 8:10.

For decades, television networks have relied on ratings to sell advertisements. Now, a company, NeuroFocus, studies the brain's responses to TV scenes and commercials to find out more about a viewer's attention span, memory, and level of engagement.  They'll read our minds at 5:21 and 7:21.

Thanks for listening!
