| Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney win Nevada caucuses
Ron Paul in a close race for a distant second place. Thompson, the former Law & Order TV actor, and Huckabee trailed.
Romney said Republicans had cast their votes for change _ and that he was the man to provide it.
“People are very concerned about what's happening globally but they're also concerned about what's happening here at home," he said after arriving in Florida, site of a Jan. 29 primary. The former millionaire businessman sketched the outlines of a $233 billion (euro158.78 billion) economic stimulus package far larger than anything President George W. Bush or congressional leaders are discussing, including tax cuts for individuals and businesses.
Obama had pinned his Nevada hopes on an outpouring of support from the Culinary Workers Union, which endorsed him last week.

MI6 urged UK to drop Saudi inquiry
Britain's head of overseas intelligence warned that Saudi Arabia likely would stop sharing vital information on terrorism if prosecutors pursued an investigation into alleged corruption in an arms deal, lawmakers disclosed Tuesday. Ministers were told the inquiry into the BAE Systems PLC arms deal with Saudi Arabia could lead to a withdrawal of Saudi assistance on counterterrorism, according to the annual report of the Intelligence and Security committee. The committee scrutinizes the work of Britain's intelligence and security agencies. Britain's Serious Fraud Office in December 2006 ended the inquiry into allegations that BAE Systems ran a $118.9 million "slush fund" offering sweeteners to Saudi Arabian officials in return for lucrative arms contracts. BAE has denied the accusations.
EC urged to put brakes on M74 project
The Greens claim ministers and the companies involved in the tender process broke two key European Union directives and are calling on the EC to intervene and halt the project.The official complaint is the latest stage in what has been a protracted battle between the environmental lobby and the Scottish Government over the £500 million project.While the complaint to the commission represents the last possible attempt to stop the M74 extension, it is also one of the most serious and potentially most important moves by the environmentalists so far.If the EC does decide that ministers broke the rules, then, at the very least, it will put back the project by several years and could even signal the end for it altogether.The extension is designed to link the M74 to the M8, west of the Kingston Bridge in Glasgow.

ORU alumni support sought
Uncertainty remained Saturday about what effect Richard Roberts' resignation as president will have on Oral Roberts University, but some observers said it was a step toward improvement.
"I think people are going to be waiting and watching: OK, can it survive without a Roberts at the helm?" said Donald R. Vance, professor of biblical languages and literature.
Vance said he thinks alumni need to support ORU as it undergoes this transition, after being led for 42 years by a Roberts. ORU professors are committed to the school's evangelical Christian mission, but that might not be obvious without a TV minister as president, he said. Christian colleges across the country are led by non-ministers -- "it will just be different for us."
ORU leaders have not addressed what role, if any, Roberts will have at the university.
State of the Union: One last time
The unspoken message: Government isn't the answer. “In all we do, we must trust in the ability of free people to make wise decisions, and empower them to improve their lives and their futures," Bush said. A major challenge for Bush in his address was simply being heard when many Americans already are looking beyond him to the next president. .
