Hope you have something to contribute. Seems like I’ve been in meetings all day. Notes:

* Rep. Gabrielle Giffords plans to be at the April 19 launch of the space shuttle flight that her husband will command.

* Gary Dunn will go to trial Aug. 1 for the third time in the slaying of Nona Dirksmeyer. What could possibly change the evidence that led to two mistrials?
