It is gory, and dangerous
He disowns the responsibility of the Kargil adventure and repeatedly says that he was not in the picture. This may well be true because Gen Ayub Khan also did not know when Zulfikar Ali Bhutto sent the infiltrators into Kashmir in 1965. Both Mr Nawaz Sharif and Gen Ayub Khan came to know about the hostilities when they were in the midst of war. However, since the nineties, people-to-people contacts have themselves become an institution in the two countries. Civil societies on both sides have responded well and they would like to bury the hatchet. It would be a tragedy if the ISI were to reactivate the Babbar Khalsa to revive terrorism in Punjab, as reports indicate. President Pervez Musharraf has never thought of dismantling the training camps in his country. What is worrying the domestic scenario in Pakistan.
Bedard: The Day After…
Though it should pain fans to hear this, it's nothing but the truth. I know we want our guys to stay loyal and love where they play; however, the bottom line is that any professional athlete wants to win, and if they have the chance to go to a winning team, they'll bolt. More importantly, he's out of a tough AL East, and now is on a contender. Here's what he said about being a key pitcher on Seattle's staff: In typical Bedard fashion, he was understated and said he didn't care whether he or Hernandez was called the Mariners' ace. "He was here first. I don't see why I should take his place. I don't care if I'm No. 1 or No. 5, just as long as I don't get skipped in the rotation," Bedard said, adding: "This is a great feeling. It's never fun to be on a team that's rebuilding.
Pick ‘n’ roll: Thursday’s best NBA bets
The Pistons are on the verge of their first three-game losing streak of the season, and they'll have to beat the defending NBA champs on the road to avoid that. Detroit is fresh off an 11-game winning streak in which it outscored opponents by an average of 17 points, but it's all gone wrong this week. The Pistons have shot 39.9 percent from the field in the last two games, failing to score more than 86 points in either contest. It's not going to get any easier for the Pistons tonight when they face Spurs star Tim Duncan. He has recorded double-doubles in all 10 regular-season home games against Detroit in his career, leading San Antonio to a 9-1 record. Pick: Spurs Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings (-4, 203) Three key injuries have contributed to the Kings dropping six of their last eight games overall and four of five at home.
Net Neutrality's not anti-property, it's about our property
It took 17 rounds, but when the FCC's $4.638 billion reserve was met late last week, it meant that the FCC's mandated open access rules would necessarily come into play. Under the proposed rules, 22MHz of the spectrum to be auctioned would be subject to open-access regulations, meaning that the company winning the auction would not be able to control what kind of devices are attached to the network or how the bandwidth is used. While there were plenty of high-fives around here, not everyone is pleased. Scott Cleland, founder of telecom analyst firm The Precursor Group, is out blasting the developments, saying that open access and "net neutrality" advocates are "antiproperty" according to the IDG News Service. Nothing could be further from the truth. "Everybody throws the word 'open' around and says open is wonderful," Cleland said.
