The Dallas Cowboys are back in town. They arrive today at Point Mugu Naval Air Station. We'll be there to tell you why they can fly into Point Mugu and you can't. We'll also cover their meetings with military families and the impact it has for local military to get to meet and greet America's Team. Staff writer Zeke Barlow (zbarlow@VenturaCountyStar.com) will be covering the event for a Page One story for tomorrow.

We also are chasing a couple of "maybe" stories for tomorrow's Page One ... those are stories that may happen; or may be worth taking to the front page.

That includes a report that the superintendent of Los Padres National Forest may make a decision today on where of if oil and gas leasing will be allowed in the forest ... the culmination of 10 years of studies.

Another maybe is the announcement today by Federated Department Stores on what they plan to do when the take over May Department Stores. That puts Macy's and Robinsons-May under the same ownership. And there is some talk that Federated may sell of stores in duplicate locations ... like the malls in Ventura and Thousand Oaks. We'll be checking it out.

And the last maybe is a possible follow on the problems at the Brooks Institute of Photography. There's a meeting today and we'll see if anything newsworthy comes out of it.

There's also lots off the wires today to watch: shuttle, IRA, British bombing, congressional action on energy and highway bills and flooding in India, as well as the death of more U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
