Hi Odine and all -

Can you edit it down to 20 minutes so there is room for another timely 
commentary this week?  I know the minutes listed it at 15 minutes, but 
that included a commentary from Maggie which it sounds like can't happen 
this week.

Great!  I am thrilled you got access to this.

I am really glad you picked this up.  I was going to interview Maggie 
because I wanted to take Kim's idea up, but I am really overloaded with 
producing.  So please, I would love it if you followed up with them.

There was a headline about tasers last Monday - it came from Kim's e-mail.  
I will ask her to write a follow up since she is mobilizing for next 
Tuesday's council.
