Ron Paul that would allow Congress to audit the Federal Reserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The provision that passed the House Financial Services Committee Thursday would direct the Government Accountability Office to examine the Fed's monetary policy, specifically how much it lends to financial institutions, &lt;a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/panel-votes-to-audit-feds-balance-sheet-2009-11-19"&gt;Marketwatch &lt;/a&gt;reported.  The proposed audit would not include a review of the central bank's policy deliberations. &lt;p&gt;It's the first time in its 95-year history that the Fed would be subjected to government scrutiny.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The central bank's secrecy came under criticism last year when it used its emergency powers to pump hundreds of billions of dollars into the struggling financial sector. The Fed was not required to specify which institutions received the money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The committee will vote on the entire bill Dec. 1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wonder what the will find?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For help to plan for your financial future look &lt;a href="http://arnoldkarsten.ws/"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5909633272267187859-3189343354512138717?l=arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com/feeds/3189343354512138717/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-will-you-do-when-your-money-fails.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5909633272267187859/posts/default/3189343354512138717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5909633272267187859/posts/default/3189343354512138717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-will-you-do-when-your-money-fails.html' title='What will you do when your money FAILS?'/><author><name>Arnold Karsten</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14607607317545802754</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l1rvwCyH25A/SfTeHIZsyOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/kiQCiHSy7oo/S220/conf+003.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909633272267187859.post-5370330977594275648</id><published>2009-07-24T12:03:00.003+12:00</published><updated>2009-07-24T12:10:25.670+12:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Job'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Career'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Change'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Improve'/><title type='text'>Be Open To Change - And Pursue It!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l1rvwCyH25A/Smj73-l7EvI/AAAAAAAAAIM/LVkOyFhQVhs/s1600-h/fam.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l1rvwCyH25A/Smj73-l7EvI/AAAAAAAAAIM/LVkOyFhQVhs/s320/fam.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361812295498011378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;If you're serious about changing your life, Dr John Maxwell says: 'Don't just  change enough to get away from your problems - change enough to solve them.  Don't change your circumstances to improve your life - change yourself to  improve your circumstances. Don't do the same old things expecting different  results - get different results by doing something new. Don't see change as  something hurtful that must be done - see it as something helpful that can be  done. Don't avoid paying the immediate price tag of change - if you do, you will  pay the ultimate price of never improving.' &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5909633272267187859-5370330977594275648?l=arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com/feeds/5370330977594275648/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com/2009/07/be-open-to-change-and-pursue-it.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5909633272267187859/posts/default/5370330977594275648'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5909633272267187859/posts/default/5370330977594275648'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com/2009/07/be-open-to-change-and-pursue-it.html' title='Be Open To Change - And Pursue It!'/><author><name>Arnold Karsten</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14607607317545802754</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l1rvwCyH25A/SfTeHIZsyOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/kiQCiHSy7oo/S220/conf+003.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l1rvwCyH25A/Smj73-l7EvI/AAAAAAAAAIM/LVkOyFhQVhs/s72-c/fam.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909633272267187859.post-7155603091418393078</id><published>2009-07-04T16:28:00.001+12:00</published><updated>2009-07-04T16:30:33.683+12:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Financial Future'/><title type='text'>Bankruptcy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="mxb"&gt;     &lt;h1&gt;      Bankruptcy in over-65s 'triples'     &lt;/h1&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;                                                                                 &lt;!-- S BO --&gt; &lt;!-- S IIMA --&gt;     &lt;table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="226"&gt;    &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;    &lt;div&gt;     &lt;img src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46010000/jpg/_46010122_005720670-1.jpg" alt="Elderly couple" border="0" vspace="0" width="226" height="170" hspace="0" /&gt;     &lt;div class="cap"&gt;Eldery people have been hit by soaring food and energy costs&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;    &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;   &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;         &lt;!-- E IIMA --&gt;  &lt;!-- S SF --&gt;&lt;p class="first"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The number of people over 65 filing for bankruptcy has almost tripled over the past five years, research based on Insolvency Service figures suggests.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Some 2,595 people aged over 65 went bankrupt in England and Wales in 2008 compared with 983 in 2004 - a rise of 164%, accountants.

With that in mind, build these eight principles into your life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;color:black;"   &gt;1) Decide what you want. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;color:black;"   &gt;2) Think on paper. Writing your goals down gives them a sense of permanency, plus it energizes you. 'Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity... ‘Wishy-washy objectives won't get you where you want to go.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;color:black;"   &gt;3) Establish a deadline. Without a definite beginning and ending it's easy to procrastinate and get nowhere.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;color:black;"   &gt;4) Make a list of what you need to do to. Keep it before you at all times; it'll give you a track to run on.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;color:black;"   &gt;5) Convert your list to a plan. Decide what you need to do first and what you can do later. An organized plan is always better than trying to carry stuff around in your head.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;color:black;"   &gt;6) Act immediately. 'Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;"  &gt;opportunity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;color:black;"   &gt;. Do something! &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;A mediocre plan that's implemented beats a brilliant one that's not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;color:black;"   &gt;7) Do something every day to move you forward. Build it into your schedule. For example, read positive literature every day, call a specific number of clients, and engage in physical activity for a given time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;color:black;"   &gt;8) Have a goal you're willing to devote your life to. And keep your eye on that goal at all times. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5909633272267187859-1786157877090776404?l=arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com/feeds/1786157877090776404/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com/2009/06/eight-principles-to-live-by.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5909633272267187859/posts/default/1786157877090776404'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5909633272267187859/posts/default/1786157877090776404'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arnoldkarsten.blogspot.com/2009/06/eight-principles-to-live-by.html' title='Eight Principles To Live By'/><author><name>Arnold Karsten</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14607607317545802754</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l1rvwCyH25A/SfTeHIZsyOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/kiQCiHSy7oo/S220/conf+003.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909633272267187859.post-66833707989368252</id><published>2009-05-24T16:59:00.004+12:00</published><updated>2009-05-24T17:30:29.256+12:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fear'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Opportunity'/><title type='text'>Fear</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;Fear&lt;/em&gt; is an emotional response to threats and danger. It is not fear that is the problem, but rather the thought pattern that follows fear. Fear can prevent us from stepping outside of our comfort zone and achieving our goals. What if we fail? What will our friends or family think? Fear can send you in to a spin preventing you from achieving anything, even the easiest task can seem impossible. Stop doubting your ability's only you can take the actions to improve your current dilemma, begin to dream again.  Start by writing down a well thought plan and then do one thing at a time, to achieve your goals. As you achieve each stage of your goal your fears will begin fall into the back ground and success will strengthen.
