Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said Friday that the man suspected of robbing Central National Bank on Wednesday had targeted the financial institution since last summer.

The district attorney has filed two counts of robbery against Elliot R. Werner, 25, Lawrence, in connection with the robbery earlier this week.

In addition, Branson said in court that prosecutors believed Werner attempted to rob the bank on July 13 and Nov. 25, and he succeeded on July 14 and Wednesday. Lawrence police and the FBI publicly released a photo of the suspect after the July 14 robbery at Central National, 603 W. Ninth St., but Friday was the first time Branson indicated the earlier robberies were linked to Wednesday's robbery.

"We do anticipate filing additional charges for the earlier offenses, and we believe those changes would mean Mr. Werner is subject to long-term incarceration," Branson said Friday in asking for a $250,000 bond.

Defense attorney Kevin Babbitt asked pro-tem judge James George to set bond at $50,000 because Werner would agree to electronic monitoring by a bonding company and live with his sister in Lawrence as he decides how to assist in his own defense.

Companies that provide expensive, short-term loans to desperate borrowers face tougher regulation by the government.

Pressure over the activities of companies providing payday loans led the prime minister's office to say on Wednesday that a code of practice to protect vulnerable borrowers could be introduced. David Cameron's spokesman also said that a cap on the often extortionate interest rates had not been ruled out, but indicated that a voluntary code of practice was preferred.

Payday loans are small, unsecured loans to tide people over until their next pay packet. Campaigners argue that their high cost means poor borrowers can be sucked into a cycle of debt.

The prime minister's spokesman said: "We know there are concerns about these companies and the way they operate. We want to ensure that vulnerable people are properly protected and are working with the industry and consumer organisations to ensure that people have the protections they need.''

Asked if he would consider an interest rate cap, which some campaigners want, he replied: "That is not a new issue. It has been looked at in the past. Clearly it is an issue that we can look at. The approach at the moment is to consult with consumer organisations and the industry and look at whether there is a way we can protect vulnerable people."

PHOENIX - A federal judge on Friday blocked the state from cutting off tax credits to those who donate to organizations that suggest their pregnant clients might want to consider an abortion.

Judge Roslyn Silver said the legislation, set to take effect at the end of the month, illegally discriminates among otherwise eligible groups solely because they "express a pro-choice viewpoint." But she said those who counsel people against terminating a pregnancy are unaffected.

That, said Silver, is likely unconstitutional discrimination.

Silver's ruling is not final. In issuing a preliminary injunction, she simply blocked the state from implementing the law while the legal dispute makes its way through the legal system.

But the judge, in her nine-page ruling, made it clear she believes that, when all is said and done, the arguments by the state justifying the distinction are likely to fail.

So you have your diploma for your Bachelor's Degree and are ready to move onto the next step in your educational journey- namely Graduate School.

Chances are there is one important thing you have learned about college in your four years of undergraduate studies, it is that school is expensive. College costs a lot of money, and full time students have very little time to take on jobs with good wages.

The number of consumers who are considered delinquent on their car loan payments is expected to decrease early next year and then rise slightly, ending 2012 at the same rate as this year, according to TransUnion. Delinquent auto loan payments are defined as car payments that are 60 or more days past due.

TransUnion's annual national auto delinquency forecast shows that delinquencies have decreased dramatically since peaking in late 2008 from 0.86 percent to 0.51 percent for 2011. Delinquencies are expected to remain level at 0.51 percent by the end of 2012 also.

This is good news for consumers aiming to buy a car in the near future, since it means credit will continue to loosen, which might not have been the case with the recent increase in auto loans. "With auto loan originations increasing dramatically in the last few years, one cause for concern is that any dramatic economic pressures -- like we experienced during the last recession -- could elevate delinquency levels since missed payments often occur early on in the life of the loan," said Peter Turek, automotive vice president at TransUnion, in the report.

Ralph Rucci , out with his "Autobiography of a Fashion Designer," says:

"I’m from Philadelphia. In college, I studied philosophy, was into art, and while researching happened upon a very Balenciaga-ish photo of a bride in a gorgeous gown.

"I became obsessed with fashion. I bought fabric. Worked on my mother’s sewing machine. Cut and dressed on my sister.

"My first job was in Halston’s workroom handling toiles. Impatient, I only stayed a year and began my first collection in 1980, thanks to a divine aunt who loaned me $10,000.

"The tailoring was poetic, all on the bias. I still have those archival samples stored in The Bronx. Sometimes I actually sneak a pattern and reuse an idea."

BOTH small and large businesses have fared well from changes in the official cash rate over the past decade with strong competition among lenders keeping a lid on rate movements.

The exception was the period immediately after the global financial crisis, when banks clawed back profit margins in business lending by not passing on cuts in the official rate.

As National Australia Bank and ANZ Banking Group cut mortgage rates and some small business lending rates yesterday, Reserve Bank of Australia figures showed lenders did not always fully pass on cuts in official rates to small businesses. But they had not lifted rates by as much as the cash rate either.

From mid 2001 until 2008, the cash rate, which is used as a benchmark to price loans, rose by three percentage points while small business loans rose by 2.8 percentage points, and big business rates increased by 2.15 percentage points.

Once the Reserve cut the official rate after the financial crisis, lenders failed to pass on the full drops to business. And, as the rate cycle turned in mid 2009, big business ended up relatively better off than small business.
