• More sustained clashes in Libya in which the popular forces, despite being subject to air strikes and artillery, repelled government forces.

• A Kosovar shot-up a bus filled with U.S. Airmen at the Frankfurt, Germany airport, killing two.


• The federal government will not be shutdown--at least for another two weeks.


• Fox News is pushing Newt and Santorum to make a decision on 2012.
