1.Democrats1 in Maine are braving snow and cold winds to vote in today's caucuses2. Twenty-four delegates are up for grabs there.

2.Officials in Tennessee say they think the fire that destroyed this local mosque3 may be the result of a hate crime. Investigators4 found drawings of swastikas and graffiti at the scene. No one was injured in the blaze.

More than half say they are worried about the value of their stocks and retirement5 investments' dropping.

4.Officials in Iraq have unveiled their new flag. It no longer features three green stars. They were thought to represent the three objectives of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party--unity, freedom and socialism.
