  Since weve posted a foreclosure activity map for both Stockton and Detroit , I thought we should probably also include a map of Las Vegas, given its one of the top three on our list of 2007 metro foreclosure rates .

In fact, we could only include activity from December because there were just too many foreclosure filings from the fourth quarter to fit on the map.

• Foreclosures Fade in World Series Spotlight
  
  The Detroit Tigers are the feel-good story of this year’s World Series, having made it to baseball’s big dance only three years after posting 119 losses — one of the worst records in history.
