Syracuse PK Andre Szmyt back in award-winning form
Syracuse place-kicker Andre Szmyt decided last December that he wasn’t going to return for his final year of eligibility. Last season, Syracuse’s special teams were coached by committee and Szmyt slumped, making just nine of 14 field goal attempts. “I felt like I needed a coach who could kind of direct me in the right way if things weren’t going as planned and I didn’t really have that. Now that we have someone, it’s really helpful.”Szmyt, who also handles kickoffs, is nine of 10 on field goals this season, including another 50-yarder. For his career, Szmyt is 74 of 89 (83.15%) on field goals and 173 of 177 on extra points for 395 points.

Minority senator protests job 'discrimination'
Federal Minister Sherry Rehman agreed that a proper representation of minorities was necessary and the job quota reserved for them was respected. “This is Quaid-e-Azam's Pakistan, every citizen has equal status,” the federal minister stressed. As Rana Tanveer lashed out at the minority senator asserting he would only answer the latter's question if the minority senator sat down, the opposition hit back at the education minister for “bullying” them into silence. Meanwhile, Federal Health Minister Abdul Qadir Patel brought up the matter of seats in medical and dental colleges and ‘discrimination’ against smaller provinces. “In 2020, the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) was made Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) through an act.

Dar’s comeback flips sentiment
photo: filePML-N’s second most powerful leader, and an experienced former finance minister, Ishaq Dar has returned to Pakistan after five years of self-exile. The business community has high hopes for Dar to be the next finance minister considering his experience, performance and track record in a similar position in the past. While Dar’s return has turned domestic business sentiment positive, weak economic fundamentals remain intact. Pakistan Business Council (PBC) CEO Ehsan Malik said Dar’s return has changed the local sentiment to positive for businesses. It is, however, learned that the change of finance minister is logical given that Ismail, who took charge as finance minister in April, was set to leave the position in October in any case.

Shazia Marri says Khan’s politics based on blaming opponents
Marri said that PTI Chief Imran Khan’s politics was based on abusing and leveling blames on his opponents and country’s institutions. The enemies have also expressed their sympathies on catastrophe resulted from heavy rains and flash floods, but Imran Khan’s role had remained shameful in term of helping flood-hit people. Imran Khan tried to sabotage the process of aid being sent by the world countries and international organizations for flood victims in Pakistan. She said that we have faith in Almighty Allah and hope that we will come out of this difficult time of floods by providing relief to flood victims. Marri said that Benazir Income Support Program was a great gift of former President Asif Ali Zardari to the poor to poorer people as it provided timely relief and financial aid to the flood victims.

Despite talks with TTP continuing
The Army’s talks with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have remained shrouded in secrecy. For others in KP who had opposed the TTP and were on the hit list of the terrorist network any possibility of general amnesty for the TTP was a perturbing idea. In June a meeting on national security attended by the civil and military leadership, decided that the talks with the proscribed TTP would be held only under the framework of the Constitution. However secrecy continues to prevail regarding agreements reached with the terrorist network. Recently terrorist attacks have taken place in Swat, Mardan, North Waziristan South Waziristan and parts of Balochistan, like Harnai, bordering Afghanistan.
