| Spurs get green light to talk to £7m Woodgate
Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on Middlesbrough defender Jonathan Woodgate after having an offer of more than 7million accepted. Spurs have been given permission to talk to the 28-year-old England international as they attempt to push home their nterest in him. They have been trailing the former Leeds player for some time and have now made their move with a bid which is believed to top the 7million Boro paid Real Madrid to secure his services last summer. Their approach comes after weeks of speculation linking the North London club with the Teessiders' England winger Stewart Downing. Spurs will hope to tie up their swoop for a player who was heavily linked with former club Newcastle earlier this week as Boro continue their own pursuit of Heerenveen's Brazilian striker Afonso Alves.

A lender's recipe for downfall
The home loan program was dubbed South Street.
It turned the idea of credit risk on its head. Consumers just exiting bankruptcy could get a mortgage with few questions. They could have some of the lowest possible credit scores. And they didn't have to submit any pay stubs or tax returns.
Subprime mortgage lender Fieldstone Investment Corp. of Columbia created the loan program during the real-estate gold rush in 2004 as competitors flooded the market.

Showdown At Post-Election Nuangola Borough Meeting
A tense showdown occurred between staunch sewer supporters and a balky Borough Council at Nuangola's first post-election meeting in November. With the pro-sewer minority soon out of office, time is running out for the sewergettes to have the votes to raise the motion to pass a resolution guaranteeing a 3.1 million dollar loan. In a meeting room packed with the pro-sewer side, lame duck Councilman Terry Jones broached the controversial issue, "Last month Atty. Shea [of the Nuangola Sewer Authority] presented a resolution requested by the USDA, guaranteeing a $3.119 million loan. Now we have a letter from USDA asking for action by council on this grant and loan package." Borough Solicitor Cynthia Ray asked Atty. Shea where the resolution originated, noting that it is unusual to have a resolution at this point in the process.
