Lenders may not pass on rate cuts
Homeowners will miss out on the full benefit of interest rate cuts next year because mortgage lenders are planning to tighten their belts in response to the credit crunch. The Bank of England signalled earlier this week that interest rates could be cut twice by next summer, but mortgage lenders have indicated that they may refuse to cut their standard variable rates (SVR) in turn, as they try to protect their profit margins. This will further stretch homeowners whose finances are already under pressure. The proportion of homeowners who pay out more than half their pre-tax salary on their mortgage has doubled in two years to 4.8 per cent, according to Bank of England figures released earlier this week. One in three mortgage borrowers now devotes more than 20 per cent of gross income to repayments, the figures showed.
Ex-Putnam County Sheriff's Staffer Admitting to $45,000 Theft
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A former employee of the Putnam County Sheriff's Department has agreed to plead guilty to stealing $45,000 in government grants to the department, federal prosecutors said. George E. Alexander, 59, of Greencastle, was arrested in May a Rockville campground following four days on the run after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Alexander has signed a statement indicating that he intended to plead guilty to two counts of federal program fraud, prosecutors said Wednesday. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 on each count. Alexander remains in federal custody pending a court hearing, which has not yet been scheduled, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Indianapolis. Alexander diverted $45,000 from two grants to the sheriff's department in December 2005 and September 2006 to his personal checking account, prosecutors said.

(AFX UK Focus) 2007-11-19 12:10 GMT: G10's Trichet sticks to cautiously optimistic tone on global growth UPDATE
(adds comments on inflation, rebalancing growth) CAPE TOWN, South Africa (Thomson Financial) - Chairman of the G10 group of central bankers Jean-Claude Claude Trichet today stuck to an optimistic tone on the prospects for global growth even though he conceded that the risks remain skewed to the downside. "We can say that global growth looks like it is going at a pace that remains encouraging," he told reporters. However, he qualified the statement by saying that "the risks on overall growth remain to the downside". He identified sharp rises in the price of oil and food as one key risk to price stability around the world. "We all have to continue to solidly anchor inflation expectations," he added. At the same time, central banks around the world have to manage their economies so that higher oil and food prices do not lead to spiralling wages and incomes -- the dreaded second round inflationary effects, he said.
Police Blotter
A 22-year-old motorcyclist faces charges after he reportedly led state troopers on a high-speed chase, which they terminated because of the dangerous speeds at which he was traveling. Through their investigation, police learned the cyclist was Michael Lee Rogers of 1226 Heidi Grey Road, Hughesville, according to court records. The early morning pursuit on Aug. 3 began in the area of Four Mile Drive in Loyalsock Township and continued east to Warrensville Road and then north for about three miles until troopers stopped pursuing the cyclist, who they said was traveling at speeds of 100 mph. Another trooper who had spotted the motorcycle earlier had recorded its registration. Rogers has been charged with recklessly endangering, fleeing police and seven summary traffic violations. He was arraigned Monday before District Judge Kenneth T.
