Xbox Boy Missing, Microsoft Doubles The Reward

Posted by Khizer Hayat Farooq


Brandon Crisp, a 15 year old boy, went missing as he ran away on his Bicycle from his Barrie, Ontaria home on October 13 2008. The boy took off when his father took away his XBox game console from him. He was last seen riding his Bicycle along the old rail line.


Microsoft have doubled its cash reward. It will be offering to pay double, than what it had said earlier to pay whomever finds the boy. The family's Internet Service Provider and the Child Find Community is offering 25,000 Canadian Dollars as reward for information leading to him, to which Microsoft topped it with 25,000 Dollars too. Just a few days back, some 1600 Volunteers geared up to search for Brandon, but they all came back empty handed.

When questioned by the media from his father, that what had happened, he replied " I had removed the Xbox Console from him, which is built by Microsoft, as I saw a vivid change in his behavior after he had started to play the game 'CALL OF DUTY 4: Modern Warfare'. This was not acceptable."

The boy had even started missing school, ignoring his studies, stealing money and not doing any chores. This behavior was not at all tolerated within the boy's family, due to which his father had taken this action.

Microsoft was quoted as saying "Like everyone, we are deeply worried about the disappearance of Brandon Crisp." 

Massive Search have taken place and no clue has been found about the boy, except the finding of its bicycle with a flat tire. Brandon used to play this game online. Police are trying to investigate that, who Brandon used to play online game with. They are also suspecting some online gamers on this.

In an interview with Brandon's Dad, Mr. Steve Crisp said, "This had become his identity, and I didnt realize how in-depth this was until I took his Xbox away. That's like cutting his legs off. I didnt expect, this thing was so much important to him"

Now Brandon's father says he just want him to come home.

Asia' Largest Fountain Stolen!

Posted by Khizer Hayat Farooq

Asia's Largest Fountain has been stolen. This report was confirmed by the Pakistani Authorities. The fountain which was a multi-million rupee project, situated in the Karachi-Pakistan and built with the public money was declared stolen and the culprits are unknown. The Karachi Port Trust has finally accepted that the theft has taken place as earlier told to media that it had created an internal fault.


The 620 Feet Tall Port Water Jet Fountain was installed at Oyster Rocks off Clifton by the Karachi Port Trust (KPT) from the taxpayers money. When foundation stone for the construction of the Fountain was laid, the original cost was said to be Rs 224 Million but later when completed, the cost exceeded to Rs. 320 Million. 

Criticised by many people of the country, the project had took nine months to complete and was one of a kind in the country. The supervision was done by KPT and the water projection unit was built by M/s. Invent Water Treatment Ltd. (IWTL) U.K.

IWTL is a specialist in these kind of projects and have taken various projects of these kind. Its engineers worked really hard to complete the project at time.

Some reports even say that the KPT has done this by its own, as its actual daily cost was Rs. 130,000. This was a major waste for the national exchequer and the KPT. Due to poor quality of maintenance, the Fountain only touched 500 Feet, where as it was meant to do 620 Feet, but some authorities also say that the fountain only used to do 100 Feet.

The fountain was to start functioning back on September 15, 2008, as the water level went down. The fountain had been shut down due to rough sea waters. But as it did not start functioning, questions started to be raised, to which this conclusion was heard.

The theft cannot be taken place so easily, as it required expertise as well as the co-operation of the Naval Intelligence to reach there. So it seems as if many authorities are mixed in this theft.

Total number of things Stolen:

1. Both Pump Engines Batteries 12V, 210AH 4

2. Both Generator Batteries 12V, 155AH 2

3. Welding Plant 440/220 VA/C/400AMP 1

Sasha Fierce = Beyonce`

Posted by Khizer Hayat Farooq


Beyonce Knowles would like to be known as 'Sasha Fierce'. She is ready to release her new album, with the title name, "I am......Sasha Fierce". The album will be hitting the U.S Stores on November 18 2008. The new album "I am....Sasha Fierce", will be released by Columbia Records


She pretty much has a justification for this change of name. "I have someone else that takes over when its time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am", she quoted. "Sasha Fierce is the Fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage."

Just like Beyonce changed her name, there are pretty more celebs which have worked on this, just like Seinfeld wanted to be known as 'T-Bone" and Eminem wanted to known as "Slim Shady.

American Financial Crisis - What Happened

Posted by Khizer Hayat Farooq


The great American Financial Crisis. Basically what happened. Why did this crisis occur. The whole story behind it, a brief summary compiled together. Let's hear it.

It all started with the great thinking of Mr. Alan Greenspan. He wanted to introduce the so called 'American Dream', and make everything affordable under the Loan criteria.  Mr. Alan Greenspan, the legendary chairman of the US Federal Reserve. 

So, what was actually the 'American Dream'.  The American Dream basically meant that all households who require their own home could have and afford one.  Basically what happens is that if somone requires a house worth $100,000 and is willing to pay $20,000 as down payment, he would be provided the required home. The rest, which is $80,000, would be financed by the BANK, in the form of a LOAN. Furthermore, you leased the particular place for 30 Years, so that means at 5% you would only be paying $1500 a month. Which was pretty much affordable for everyone. This system supported a gradual increase in home ownership and Loans were provided to people in different class.

According to Mr. Greenspan, he brought some new economic management in the system. And his rule would say, "Rapid Economic Expansion Would Increase The Demand For Workers."  A move towards NO-UNEMPLOYMENT.

Mr. Alan Greenspan quoted this as the "The New Economy". Lower interest rates increased the demand for housing. The banks made new products such as 'mortgage-backed securities'. To cover the loans which they were giving people. These securities were provided to cash-rich institutions, so that they could spread the risk in finance which the banks had solely undertaken.

The competition amongst the banks intensified and the competition was so tough that banks started to through away money to its customers like anything. The banks loaned money to the borrowers who couldnt even afford to purchase the mortgage. Loans were started to be lend with little or no down Payments. Then a couples of years ago, The Feds started to raise the interest rates and this started to affect the borrowers to repay the loans. Most of the American Households dont have savings, they mostly spend it as they earn. This highly affected the payments, and the many of them started to default, which send shocks in the market.

The banks started to seize the properties of the defaulting owners, and dumping it in the open market. This caused a major decline in the price of the houses. The amount of the houses fell so low, that the value of the houses fell below what they owed the Banks.  This situation, further led to more severe crises and more people started to default.

The financial institutions which had purchased those securities, had no other thing then to dump the properties in the open market. Due to which the shares of the Financial Institutions fell and the enterprises collapsed. Several large institutions failed such as the Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, AIG, Bear Sterns etc. 

The Story never ended.....The Fall continued...With many major other Financial Institutions collapsing day by day....Furthermore the U.S. planned A $700 BLN Bailout....
