The Senate Finance Committee's top Republican said late last week that he has directed his staff to probe the actions of Bear Stearns executives.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said he is concerned that insiders and senior executives may benefit from the fire sale of the company to JP Morgan Chase over the weekend leading up to March 17.
In a statement, Grassley said he is specifically curious about how company executives would have fared if the company had filed for bankruptcy.
'I'm not arguing with the marketplace, but I'm going to argue with people who have insight and take advantage of it,' Grassley said in an interview on Fox Business Network.

Brake Masters
Regular brake inspections are an essential part of good automotive maintenance that can save you money and keep your car from wrapping itself around the first tree out of your driveway. Make sure that your brakes and rotors are receiving the proper maintenance by following the steps outlined. Your safety as well as that of your passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers is at stake.
1. Time for a free inspection. Many local brake shops as well as national brake repair chains offer customers free brake inspections at no obligation to you. The inspection typically includes the following steps:
# Check your vehicle’s brake pads and shoes for signs of wear;
# Fill and/or replace hydraulic fluids;
# Examine rotor/drum wear and calipers;
# Examine the anti-lock brake system [if you have one]
An annual check up of your brakes is wise, but do it more often if you drive well above the national average [about 15,000 miles per year] or if you do heavy stop and go driving.

The study, by social scientist Dr Jon Adams, aims to help improve rural health outcomes by investigating the practices and perspectives of regional general practitioners (GPs) regarding complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). CAM treatments include therapies such as acupuncture, naturopathy and herbal medicine.
Dr Adams has been awarded $85,000 as one of the 2007 winners of the UQ Foundation Research Excellence Awards and Awards for Excellence in Research Higher Degree Supervision, announced last night at Brisbane’s Customs House.

Sometime back, my good friend, who is an NLP trainer shared this powerful truth me. In our conversation, he mentioned that in NLP modeling, values were often the unconscious motivators that shaped our future and drive our actions and behavior. Great achievers are passionate about the values for which their businesses stand. It doesn’t matter what business you are involved in - home business, online business, selling flowers or golf balls, writing, designing… anything.
Anita Roddick – CEO, multi-billion dollar franchise, The Body Shop – is one of the world’s most outspoken, controversial, and successful entrepreneurs of our time. She has such a strong passion for social and environmental causes and what she does reminds us that your can create profits with principles and “you don’t need to lose your soul to achieve success.” So, ask yourself these questions:

Even as the row over land acquisition for industrial projects rages, a new authority is being set up to vet land requirements of SEZ projects. The move is aimed at preventing SEZ projects from turning into real estate ventures. The rural development ministry has proposed that the authority should scrutinise the demand for land by promoters before forwarding a case for further approvals. The authority would also undertake independent assessment of SEZ projects and wield powers to scale down land requirements. The proposal is expected to be included in the new rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) policy being finalised by the ministry.
