Hello everyone, this is Prateek Nangia here with the first post of the blog (TerrorismTimes.Blogspot.Com) & hope you all would appreciate and enjoy the present and the later posts on this blog. I would also enjoy comments and suggestions from the readers.
Mumbai attacks, 26/11, really provoked my feelings against terrorism & I started thinking what could be done to fight terrorism other than & a
To play Smack the Penguin, click the mouse once to get the penguin to jump. Then, as the penguin is falling, click your mouse button again to swing. If you hit the penguin, it will fly across the icy field. The objective (obviously) is to get the penguin to fly as far as possible. Hint: After the penguin begins its jump, hold down your mouse button and then let go at the exact moment you
According to the Empty Homes Agency, there are 663,000 empty homes in England - enough to house almost two million people. Chief Executive of the Agency, David Ireland, says: "The government is fixated on just building more homes, but we are convinced that returning more empty homes to use should be part of the solution too". As well as reducing the country’s housing stock, an empty home is bad
Yesterday, there were great displays of solidarity for the victims of Mumbai 11/26 across India. Thousands of Indians got together to light candles in memory of those who lost their lives in the most audacious and daring terror attack ever on India by Islamic jehadis from Pakistan. There was anger too; anger against politicians, the police and Pakistan. But, at the end of it all, it appeared that
Parents are solely to blame if their child turns to illegal drugs, an educator said here on Thursday in an anti-drug symposium at the Tayug National High School (TNHS). Consuelo Ladio, head teacher III and head of the Values Education Department of the TNHS, said parents are supposed to be the guardians, protectors, models and paragons of virtues to their children since the home is the solid found
If there are terrorists involved in any kind of activity on the Indian soil and happen to be Muslims, it is of course Pakistan where they come from because India’s 13% Muslim population cannot produce 10 government hating terrorists, yeah right! Maybe I missed the clip or snapshot of that one terrorist that had [...]
A young man was brought to justice the other day in Gothenburg, Sweden. He is accused of attempted robbery and performed robbery.

After the robbery the culprit apparently said that he did this only because of the Swedish [...]
The (self) righteous indignation of Conservative party supporters is palpable. Heads are exploding all over western Canada. Beware grey matter splatter. Dress appropriately.Fueled by right-wing radio talk show hosts on stations like Corus Entertainment's QR77 in Calgary, the angry mobs on the airwaves have their virtual torches and pitchforks ready to go while they rail against what they characte
The fabled 'foreign hand' is behind the recent bloodbath in Mumbai, once again South Asian politicians use this time tested term. I wonder why is it used so fluently and why do we, the people on the both sides of the border, buy it on a regular basis ?It was only a few days ago that I commented on a blog run by an Indian blogger that" for the first time in our lives we see that less and less India
MUMBAI, Nov 27: As commandos of India’s elite anti-terrorism force, the National Security Guard (NSG), were engaged in fierce battles with terrorists at some places till late Thursday night, officials claimed that terrorists had been flushed out from the five-star Taj Hotel, one of the landmarks of the country’s financial and commercial capital.The commandos who went into action immediately af

Yesterday was a bit disappointing. That’s after we got the bad news about my husband's failure to pass the driving test. Again, I understand him. He went home after he got the news but didn't come up straight to our room. He said, he was afraid and he knows that I will be very upset. Honestly, I am, as this is his second time already. Nothing bad has been said yesterday but instead I hugged him.
So, yeah. If you've been around much this week you've noticed a lack of depth in the posting department. That sentence makes me chuckle because it suggests there is some inherent weightiness on a normal basis.I suppose that depends upon what type of load we have placed upon the scales.Sorry. I'm being gross. Consider that a prelude to the baby poop I'll be telling you about in a sec. {Wait! Come B

I have seen a lot of articles on the black/gay blame game regarding the passage of proposition 8 (the ban of same-sex marriage). African-American voters made up 10% of the exit polling in Califonia, and 70% of black voters were in favor of prop 8. From these facts it can be easy to point fingers and assert the black community is homophobic, or the gay community is racist and didn't court black v
The meltdown on the right continues and some of those on the right seem quite intent on drowning Palin in the runoff.
They’ve quit pulling their punches since McCain conceded and there seems to be no end to the pile on.

Well, it’s only five days until election day and CNN is saying things like, “It’s not over yet.” They just played a little montage of Sarah Palin blunders (”The Vice President is in charge of the Senate.”) that was quite amusing. From many angles, it looks as though the Republican party is ready to throw [...]
Since the Bank of England was made independent in 1997, there has been a general consensus that they did a good job in preventing boom and bust and promoting the longest period of economic expansion on record. (1992-2008) Gordon Brown rarely missed an opportunity to offer himself self-congratulations on giving the Bank independence and therefore, avoiding the boom and bust, which characterised th

Who Is To Blame For The Financial Crisis We Find Ourselves In?I am dating myself with the reference to the B-52's (great band from the '70's or '80's if you never heard of them), but the lyric is just to appropriate. I had written about finding scapegoats a few days ago, and this is just more of the same. I agree it is important to know where you have been in order to avoid going there again, bu

So the day before yesterday I had just blamed the weather for my cold, when I stumbled across this amusing yet true news article that has appeared in the telegraph. I think Philip Eden has a point.
In the article he describes how more and more, politicians, scientists and really everyone use the weather as a scapegoat for their own failures, rather than putting their hands up and admitting their i
Something that weighs heavy on my mind is when riders fail to see the opportunity to learn that their horse is giving them. I don't like to see a rider frustrated with a horse that will not perform well because of rider error. I like to think of myself as the horse's advocate. Of course horses make mistakes, but they really only make mistakes because they are mirroring their rider...If you ca

According to Chris Hedges, the Democrats, including Obama and Biden, need to face the fact that they helped to completely screw middle-class Americans with the bailout bill.

Yesterday, FASB and SEC have provided clarification on the Fair Value Accounting rule. Its back to mark-to-imagination times when "no market for a security exists". Of course, a disclosure to investors when financial results are released is great, but:

- it does not change the risk

As should have been expected, Presidential politics has raised it’s ugly head during the economic crisis we are in and especially since negotiating began on a $700 billion bailout plan to buy bad mortgage loans from mortgage companies and remove them from the books. Barack Obama has openly stated that John McCain and his support [...]
Is This Mess Solely A Creation Of The Current Administration, Or Is There Enough Blame To Spread Around?Some politicians and some pundits would like everyone to believe that the current mortgage mess was born, invented, encouraged, started, etc. when the Bush administration came into office. In a continuing effort to try and spread the blame to both parties and to both the current and previous adm
There's been a lot of noise lately on the culpability of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which reportedly encouraged (some say forced) lenders to make subprime loans to those who couldn't afford it in the name of increasing homeownership.So what is the CRA? First, from a Wikipedia entry:The CRA was passed by the 95th United States Congress and signed into law by President Jimmy Carter in 19
Remember it was McCain who said he was going to lead the Republican charge for the bailout of Wall Street, he was going to make sure that this was a bipartisan success...he called for the charge, well what happen?I am sure that the folks that have gotten rich stealing from us can raise enough in a fund raiser to help with their own bailout. It seems those billions in option ARMs were just too mu
You have got to be kidding me. At the most critical juncture in our economic crisis, our politicians decided to bail out on the bailout plan, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, leading to the largest stock market plunge in history. This plunge alone amounted to $1.2 trillion lost in the financial market, more than the [...]

I have to say, reading the press recently is beginning to get right up my nose.
The sanctimonious ramblings of so-called financial journalists intent on hoodwinking the public into believing that all this mess is caused by greedy speculators trading the markets and making money at the expense of the little people.... What a crock of s***.

The first rule of holes is this: If you're in one, stop digging. New government estimates released last week show that the federal government will be in a big hole in fiscal 2009: a $546 billion deficit. They also help show how we got into this hole -- and the answer may surprise you.

About 4,315,000 children were born in 2007, which is about 15,000 more births than at the peak of the baby boom in 1957. Although during that time, the “baby boom” was influenced by a fewer number of [...]

Who is to Blame for Credit Crunch?Banks for Making Poor LoansIn the boom years, banks made an increasing number of loans with little regard to ability to repay. Banks found ways to increase the number of mortgage loans through strategies such as interest only mortgages, 100% mortgages and lending to people with poor credit histories. The result is that more homeowners are at risk of mortgage defau

In an effort to revive the anti-immigration wave that seemed to crest with Republican Tom Tancredo’s failed presidential primary bid, right-wing bigots are vigourously buying ad space — placing the blame for traffic and sprawl, population growth, and sundry, on immigrants.
