| Activists Bare Teeth Over Foreclosures
The commotion was the work of an in-your-face activist group called the East Side Organizing Project, with a paid staff then of just two, mobilized to battle Cleveland's mortgage "loan sharks."

More powers" is so vague it can mean anything to anybody. It cannot possibly be included in a referendum unless and until these powers are specified. When the electorate sees how little the Lib-Dems want to offer the "more powers" option will become irrelevant. As all three Unionist parties are going to agree on the level of "more powers" to be offered, this will become the new status quo. No-one is offering the present arrangement so it will be a simple matter to organise a two-option referendum; the Unionists' powers or the nationalists' independence. Let the people decide. .

Paul Happy With 2nd in Nevada
COLUMBIA, S.C. Texas Rep. Ron Paul said his second-place finish in Nevada's GOP presidential caucuses on Saturday showed his message is being heard and that he has more supporters than he thought. "Millions of people have heard this message and this is why coming in second is very great, it sends a great message," Paul said to loud cheers. He conceded that South Carolina's primary, where he was running a distant fifth, was not his to win. Paul took several swipes at former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who got fewer votes than Paul in Nevada and was trailing Paul in returns being tabulated Saturday night in South Carolina. He told the audience about a confrontation with Giuliani during this month's debate in South Carolina. He said Giuliani "cut me down." "Tonight, if this is the final tally on that confrontation, we got three times as much vote as the mayor got," he said, referring to Nevada.
Determination and lots of tracks help Mich. police bust alleged chop ...
BANGOR TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) The determination of an angry snowmobile owner plus miles and miles of tracks in the snow have led police to a suspected chop shop for stolen snowmobiles.
Police say the man discovered Saturday that his snowmobile was missing from his home in Van Buren County's Arlington Township in southwest Michigan.
The man, whose name was not released, called police and set out on a borrowed snowmobile following tracks in the snow for about 10 miles through fields and along roads.
Relatives and friends followed by car as he trailed the tracks to a home in Bangor Township.
"The tracks that they had followed led right up to a garage door," Michigan State Police said in a news release.
Inside the garage, police found the man's snowmobile, already disassembled, plus three others and many snowmobile parts.
