| Ohio primary shows what Mich. missed
They'll spend much of the next week doing the same, beginning with tonight's nationally televised debate in Cleveland and leading up to the potentially decisive March 4 Ohio primary. It's just the sort of campaign that could have happened six weeks ago, in the days before Michigan's Jan. 15 primary, if the candidates had shown up.

Tim Fanning said city's fourth homicide of 2008 is likely a 'targeted shooting.'(CBC) Const. Tim Fanning of Vancouver police said a passerby saw the victim — identified as Pritpal Singh Virk of Richmond, B.C. — lying on the street around 11 p.m. local time. The man was rushed to hospital, but died a short time later of gunshot wounds. "This is targeted because of the style of the attack,'' said Fanning.

Jessica Fimbres, a public affairs officer (PAO) on the base. "I checked with Range Control, and that's all it was." The booms seemed louder than normal to folks headed to the annual Spelling Bee at the Sunrise Theater on Thursday night.
