Slackware 8.1 Released
Submitted by Richard James 2002-06-19 Slackware, Slax 26 Comments
i am just wondering, i here this alot about linux and wonder if it is true. do most, all, some, few (whatever) distros give you in the default install, multiple text editors, browsers, email clients, office suites, mp3 players, im clients/irc programs, and other repetive software? why do they do this? it seems wasteful?
welcome to humanity
Most distros do this.
Why is because there are often competing products say gnome/KDE some people like KDE, some like gnome others like other window managers. To satisfy these peoples needs the distros ship with so much stuff.
The real problem comes at install time. If you choose full install you get just about everything. A more sane choose is to pick and choose packages to install.
Of course if you are new to Linux it can be hard to know what is what.
Lycoris Linux AFAIK has a one app for one task policy.
To me it´s a plus, because you know it´s all about choice, you only need to install the ones you like, and if you don´t like one particular editor, there is lots more to choose from. =)
The reason there are four CDs with slackware is not because it is bloated with four times as much software as one CD could have. It’s because each CD has a different function. The main CD has the software and installation on it. The second one is a special bootable rescue and demo CD. The third one is for installing Slackware on a Windows partition. And the last one is the source code to the applications.
This is somehow true… Some well known distributions are kinda braindead when it comes to installation. You have the following choices:
1) Install everything (bad)
2) Check every of those 5000 packages manually to see what you need and what not… (!)
3) Install only the bundles you need, like “audio software”.
Number 3 is definetly the most sane one, but the stupid thing is, that the last distributions I tried all had duplicated in those packages. :] You choose audio software and you get 300 MP3 players… You choose databases and you get several different databases (WTF). And so on. I’m not sure if some distributions have improved on this meanwhile… I hope so.
However, nowadays I prefer a minimal installation and then install everything when I need it. This is very easy with Debian, because it makes sure that you have every important package but none that you don’t need. And installation of a new package is a matter of seconds.
More info here as to what there is on the 4 CDs:
Everyone who’s tired of all pre-fabricated Linux-solutions and good-looking-and-slow-and-huge-installations and desktops (RedHat, MDK) should try Slackware. It’s not a distro for newbies, but if you fell good in Linux or any other *nix enviromnemt, then you have to check this out!
ok, so i can understand that in the spirit of linux (and open source) that people want choices… however… when trying to sell a distro, doesn’t the idea having a 1 size fits all product end up not meeting what any 1 group needs (software developers, home users, businesses…), or is that just silly thinking on my part?
Slackware is based on Debian right? Does it have AptGet?
No slack isn’t based on debian, no it doesn’t have apt, slackwares packages are tar.gz based.
No it’s not based on debian. It is based on SLS.
It is the oldest still worked on distro.
It can use apt-get but that is really meant for Debian. There is no repository of Slack software like that to download from.
Slack uses its own package format .tgz or slack packs.
These are tarballz with a installation script in them.
The installer installpkg opens the tar extracts the files and runs the script. Details are placed in /var/log/packages under the packages name.
No dependency checking is done. You normally do it yourself.
With slack most libraries and tools needed are included so you rarely run into dependency problems.
For more info read the slackbook. It is for version 7.1 but is still mainly current. http://www.slackware.com/book
Slack is configured from the command line using text editors with some ncurses tools.
There are aftermarket GUI or web based administration tools but most people use a text editor.
The reason it is so good to use linux is its configuration. Because you have to directly edit the files you actually learn what they do. Also this stops slack getting in your face. The system doesn’t automagically change settings on you. But neither is it too complex. It is the equivalent of the C language. It is a powerful tool not just another handholding distro.
This is the only place on the Web where I see people complaining about getting value. Sure you get a lot of things in a typical Linux distro. But so far I’ve seen exactly zero instances of having a taskmaster looking over my shoulder and demanding that I run each and every piece of software all at once! I just choose the ones that I like, and stick with them, just like in Windows. The only difference is that with Windows, I have to find all of that software, buy it, then install it before I can try it out. To me, saving effort is a bonus.
I’m just curious as to why this (and other distros) rae still shipping with Apache 1.3.x? Is version 2 not stable or something?
many popular modules for Apache haven’t been ported to Apache 2 yet. I know planetmirror.com.au is waiting for some mods to be ported before they move over to 2, even though Apache 1 is far slower for their situation.
I disagree, Slackware was my first distrobution, and I am much better for it! had I used some other distro (RH/SuSE/MDK) I would be in much worse shape for knowing how things work and where to find those nifty little features.
A better way of putting it would be to say that slack isn’t for the faint of heart, but for the person who wants to get their hands durty and learn.
I can’t belive it’s been 7 years that I’ve been using linux, first with slack, then debian, then suse, mandrake, back to deb. Ok that’s enough reminising for me.
I suppose you magically worked out what apps where what in Linux.
Whats really amazing is that this is the only thing you could think of to say. No one complained, they asked nicely. Maybe you should take some reading lessons.
What distro do you use Speed, Redhat?
What is this about Slackware not being a distro for newbies? Its installation is one of the easiest to use and the system is self is simple and highly functional. Perhaps some slackers want to keep Slackware to themselves. 😉
I hope they keep on the road (problems on the recent past happened). I don’t use it much because it is hard to get on CD.
As always, speccial thanks to Patrick Volkerding since I guess he is the men beyind the fine, not bloated and not dumbed down Linux software (good thing).
The tar.gz would be a fine Linux pkg standard for that recent (comercial) Linux consortium – maybe apt-get could associate with it instaed of competing with the .deb pkg, but that’s up to them.
Good luck for slack’s

This is after doing a normal install on a hpt366 partition.
Easiest to use you say?
Slackware is still my favorite dist and I’ll probably try it again next release.
HPT366 NEEDS SPECIAL SUPPORT FROM THE KERNEL that need to be turned on during compilation.
Heck, do you even know why even the company that made HPT366 doesn’t even want to support it anymore?? They don’t even offer qualified WinXP drivers! WHY? Because the damn controller is BUGGY AS HELL. Linux has problems, BeOS has problems (the Be engineer who was working on the official BeOS driver gave up) and even Windows has problems with that piece of junk.
Make a favor to yourself and do not use the HPT366 controllers, but use the other onboard, normal, ATA controllers.
Wow, are those servers FULLLLLLL. I guess I’ll wait, see if I can get it from an overseas server tomorrow.
As for the ease of Slack: I think it’s a great place to start. For a long time, I couldn’t get Linux to load right on my laptop (weird hardware).
Slackware was simple: follow the direction, make some choices, and wahla-LINUX.
True, there is a learning curve…..but what OS does not have a learning curve? XP certainly throws alot of “joe average” users used to 98SE. OSX is way different from Mac OS 9 once you get under the GUI.
God forbid anyone should learn anything……..
Newbies-Try Slack. You’ll love it.
“What is this about Slackware not being a distro for newbies? Its installation is one of the easiest to use and the system is self is simple and highly functional. Perhaps some slackers want to keep Slackware to themselves. ;-)”
I have a friend who spent about 3 weeks trying to get his soundcard to work under Slack, and then installed Redhat, which detected it automatically. It’s all a matter of perspective
Eugenia, calm down… The 2.4 kernel supports hpt366 without special drivers. The problem here is with lilo. I gave it a second try and installed grub and now it works (after xx hours).
No one knows better than me how nightmareish the hpt366 controller are. I’ve been stuggling with it for many years. The ordinary contollers are full so I have little choice.
I think osnews will be better off without my bitter comments so see ya
I am calmed down.. The caps was just to give emphasis.
I VIGOROUSLY AGREE that the HPT366 hardware is THE source of HPT366 problems. The ones that left out the driver were doing us all a favor! I’ve had to throw out every single HPT366 product that I owned, including a pair of BP6 motherboards that wouldn’t even work right with any controller, including SCSI!

Power Rankings: WGC-Accenture Match Play Championshiptext sizeFebruary 18, 2013
The World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship is anything but a shootout, yet its backdrop is apropos. The desert, what with its Wild West vibe, is fitting for a tournament in which anything can happen. And has.
The Golf Club at Dove Mountain in Marana, Ariz. hosts for the fifth consecutive year. Last May, an agreement was announced that this event (now in its 15th season) will remain in the Tucson area through 2014. The likelihood of remaining alive in the tournament as a competitor, however, isn't as concrete.
As of Monday afternoon, 64 of the top 66 in the Official World Golf Ranking (on Feb. 10) are scheduled to compete. (Phil Mickelson is spending time with family and Brandt Snedeker is resting a rib injury.) With that kind of talent wedged into a daily, 18-hole, survive-and-advance format, the term "upset" is always relative. However, some of the top seeds will lose early, others will run into buzz saws, and one or two unknowns -- at least to casual fans -- will play deep into the week.
Dove Mountain is a modern-day Jack Nicklaus design. At 7,791 yards, it's the longest course on the PGA TOUR. Fairways are expansive but not without their unending uneven lies. Greens average 6,000 square feet although the undulations will tighten the targets. In true Nicklaus fashion, the challenge increases nearer each hole.
In a vacuum, greens in regulation, aggressive putting, scrambling and bogey avoidance are worthy factors to project success in match play, but the format counters with vagaries like momentum and unknown future matchups. Weather will also play a prominent role early. Downright miserable conditions are forecast for Wednesday. This includes heavy rain, gusty winds and a high temperature that may not reach 50 degrees. The good news is that the system should clear out by Thursday after which sunshine and temperatures in the 60s and low 70s will take hold. Wind will serve as the primary challenge throughout, but it is not anticipated to blow as hard as during the scheduled opening round.
NOTE: The overall order below is a logical determination based on the top four. For example, because Ernie Els is slotted fourth (or lowest among the semifinalists), Sergio Garcia is ranked fifth (or highest among the quarterfinalists) because Els and Garcia would meet in the quarterfinals. Similarly, No. 8 Jamie Donaldson (lowest among the quarterfinalists) would meet No. 9 Ian Poulter (highest of the eight that wouldn't advance from the third round to the quarterfinals) in the third round.
Power Rankings: WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship Rank Player Comment Luke DONALD Snead bracket. The 2011 champ keeps motoring along. Holed out five times from off the green last week at Riviera; finished T16. Bracket wins: Marcel Siem, Scott Piercy, Nick Watney, Jamie Donaldson, Tiger Woods, Jason Day. Jason DAY Jones bracket. Third appearance. With two top 10s in three starts this year, he's quickly illustrating that the distractions of 2012 are, indeed, history. Bracket wins: Zach Johnson, Charl Schwartzel, Ryan Moore, Rory McIlroy, Ernie Els. Tiger WOODS Player bracket. Three-time winner (none at Dove Mountain) began fulfilling latest expectations the week after last year's second-round loss. Bracket wins: Charles Howell III, Francesco Molinari, Peter Hanson, Lee Westwood, Ernie Els (consolation). Ernie ELS Hogan bracket. Coming off a T13 at Riviera in 2013 PGA TOUR debut.

Top 20s in each of his last seven starts worldwide, including a win. Last six post-corrective eye surgery. Placed T13 at Riviera in wake of a shoulder injury. Bracket wins: Thongchai Jaidee, Matt Kuchar, Bill Haas. Lee WESTWOOD Player bracket. Lost in last year's consolation match. Average putter and greenside game. Would likely need to outnumber each opponent in greens in regulation. Bracket wins: Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Martin Kaymer, Jason Dufner. Rory McILROY Jones bracket. Last year's runner-up is this week's top seed. Making 2013 PGA TOUR debut. Missed cut in Abu Dhabi five weeks ago; only start since changing equipment. Bracket wins: Shane Lowry, Carl Pettersson, Dustin Johnson. Jamie DONALDSON Snead bracket. Of the 12 first-timer, he's the highest-rated in this feature. Late-blooming 37-year-old sits fourth in the Race to Dubai. Won in Abu Dhabi last month. Bracket wins: Thorbjorn Olesen, Adam Scott, Ian Poulter. Ian POULTER Snead bracket. Cemented his unrivaled success in match play at the Ryder Cup, but since winning at the Ritz-Carlton in 2010, he's 0-2. Didn't compete during the last six weeks. Bracket wins: Stephen Gallacher, John Senden. Dustin JOHNSON Jones bracket. Recent propensity for big numbers won't cost him as dearly as they have in stroke-play events. Went 2-1 at Dove Mountain last year. Bracket wins: Alexander Noren, Graeme McDowell. Jason DUFNER Player bracket. Lost in first round in his debut last year, but it's been quite a run since. Sharpshooter with his irons and aggressive putting works well in this format. Bracket wins: Richard Sterne, Hunter Mahan. Bill HAAS Hogan bracket. Led the Northern Trust after 54 holes. Didn't win but closed birdie-birdie on Sunday for a T3, his third straight top 10. Tenth on TOUR in GIR; ninth in bogey avoidance. Bracket wins: Nicolas Colsaerts, Justin Rose. Louis OOSTHUIZEN Hogan bracket. Won in South Africa in early January, his seventh top five in an eight-event stretch. Will be unbeatable if his fine-tuned putting stroke connects with Dove Mountain. Bracket wins: Richie Ramsay, Robert Garrigus. Peter HANSON Player bracket. Led the European Tour in putting in 2012. Length off the tee and proficiency with his irons are handy assets at Dove Mountain. Went 3-1 here last year. Bracket wins: Thomas Bjorn, Webb Simpson. Ryan MOORE Jones bracket. The once-upon-a-time match-play maven (2004) is in the midst of rising to a new level on the world stage. Inward 5-over 41 on Sunday at Riviera cost him a top 10.

Mike Budenholzer and the Atlanta Hawks are still searching for the right combinations in wake of Al Horford's season ending injury. Pero Antic will get his first start of the season on Friday against the Golden State Warriors as the Hawks go with a different look per a report from the AJC's Chris Vivlamore.
"I think we are still trying to find our groups," Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. "What bench guys work well together and what starters work well together. We like pulling (Andrew) Bogut away from the basket but if we were playing (any other team) we might start Pero tonight."
Elton Brand has started each game at center following Horford's injury but will come off of the bench tonight along with Gustavo Ayon. Brand is averaging just over four points a game as a starter and only saw 12 minutes of action against the Celtics.
Antic finished with five points and five rebounds in just over 20 minutes against Boston on Tuesday. He is averaging 3.7 points in 12 minutes per game this season but has seen increased opportunities since Horford went down.
Atlanta's center rotation going forward figures to be much more situational and matchup based that what we saw earlier in the season.

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Shaw Tracking hoping to ease the border crossing process by providing updates on important documentation.
The communications company announced the availability of ACE status notification through CrimsonLogic to OmniVision and OmniTRACS units. CrimsonLogic ACE customers can now receive ACE status notifications directly to OmniVision or OmniTRACS units.
ACE status notifications include important information for crossing the border, such as the customs broker’s entry number when they clear PAPS shipments or when an ACE manifest has been accepted by CBP.
Knowing this information before a driver gets to the border is essential for ensuring a smooth border crossing and will save drivers from having to make phone calls to the broker or back to dispatch.
"In the new era of border security, there’s a new mantra of ‘know before you go’ and with the ability of real-time border events being sent directly to the driver in the cab of the truck we’re leveraging off technology and empowering the carrier of tomorrow," said James May, CrimsonLogic’s business development manager.
Once set up, dispatch can store the complete list of driver profiles, including driver names and e-mail addresses in the CrimsonLogic application.
Every time dispatch selects a driver in a manifest it will automatically associate the events for that ACE manifest to the OmniVision or OmniTRACS unit for that driver.
Added Shaw Tracking’s vice-president business service Mike Ham: “We’re committed to providing our customers leading-edge technology solutions. This is one more opportunity for our customers to integrate and make life of the road easier for drivers.”

- Inequality in Indy - A Rising Problem With Ready Solutions
Wednesday, August 13, 2014
By Derek Thomas
This week, the Indy Star reported on the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ ‘Income and Wage Gaps Across the U.S.’ report. The story presented the group’s finding that “wage inequality grew twice as rapidly in the Indianapolis metro area as in the rest of the nation since the recession”, largely due to the fact “that jobs recovered in the U.S. since 2008 pay $14,000 less on average than the 8.7 million jobs lost since then.”
We at the Indiana Institute for Working Families have spotlighted similar problems in our report, ‘Work and Poverty in Marion County’: four out of five of the fastest growing industries in Marion County pay at or below a self-sufficient wage for a family of three ($798 per week); weekly wages declined over the past year, and; median household income declined 11 percent from 2008 – 2012. Each year that poverty increases, economic mobility - already a real challenge in Indy - becomes more of a statistical oddity for the affected families and future generations.
There are ways we can address these problems. The mayors’ report proposed several solutions that were not mentioned in the Star's story. Those include: increasing the minimum wage, strengthening the Earned Income Tax Credit, public programs to retrain displaced workers, universal pre-k and programs to build the nation’s infrastructure.
The Mayors’ report is among a growing and diverse chorus of economists, policymakers and advocates warning about the dangers of rising income inequality. Most notably, just days prior to the Mayors’ report, Standard and Poor’s Rating Service (S&P) – “[t]ackling an unusual subject for a credit-rating firm” – warned that inequality was damaging the economy.
Policymakers in Indianapolis should take these warnings seriously. At last count in Marion County: following an 82 percent increase over the last decade, poverty is still rising; the minimum wage is less than half of what it takes for a single-mother with an infant to be economically self-sufficient; 47 percent of workers do not have access to a paid sick day from work, and; a full 32 percent are at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines ($29,685 for a family of three).
To cite S&P: “Some degree of rebalancing—along with spending…could take the form of reallocating fiscal resources toward those with a greater propensity to spend, or toward badly needed public resources like roads, ports, and transit.”
George W. Bush increased the minimum wage and Ronald Reagan strengthened the EITC because they knew, as S&P knows, and as our mayors and so many others know, that putting money into the hands of low-income families is not only good for our families, but for entire communities.

There is currently a close link observed between economic growth and a countries birthrate. However in a world with a massive population and ongoing environmental problems linked closely to difficulties in providing food, water and amenities to such large populations, should we not be asking the questions:
- In a world of finite resources, is there not a limit to economic economic growth?
- In this current climate should sustainability be of more importance than economic growth?
Birthrates have fallen in many developed countries as a result of improved education, health care, and access to contraception. As it stands the countries with the worst sanitation, access to food and water, access to healthcare and education are the countries with the highest birth rates. In many developing countries birthrates are higher in correlation with infant mortality rates. Child labour can also be a natural fact of life in rural populations making higher birthrates particularly beneficial to these communities. But moving forward, as some of these countries become more “developed”, an important question also arrises: Do we not wish for the development of adequate education, health care and contraception in these countries also? If this were the case these populations would have less children out of necessity or as an accident, conception could become more of a choice, and naturally their birth rate would decline just as it has in developed nations.
So as developed countries will progress further with advances in technology, especially AI, it is likely that this old link between a societies economy and birthrate will become less relevant economically also. Is the declining birthrate not just a sign of development, a natural shift in an overpopulated society, a shift towards population stability? With this in mind, maybe less should be done regarding birthrate, and more should be done about advancing technology, sustainability and aiding the progression of less economically developed countries.

January 30 – Concacaf have agreed an exclusive broadcast rights deal with digital streaming service FloSports for the new Concacaf Nations League which will start in March.
The deal is a landmark football (soccer) deal for FloSports as it will effectively keep the games off the traditional terrestrial and cable English language soccer broadcasters in the US.
The multi-year deal will see the games aired on FloSports’ new dedicated soccer channel FloFC. It is the streamers’ 25th channel and will broadcast live tournament coverage and on-demand content through 2022 – more than 770 hours of coverage.
“This a landmark deal for FloSports as we continue to expand our soccer coverage,” FloSports co-founder Mark Floreani said. “The Concacaf region represents some of the most competitive teams and players, and we’re thrilled to give fans access to these world-class games.”
The Concacaf Nations League began in September 2018 with a knockout qualifying phase. The matches for the final round of the qualifying are scheduled for March 21-26, 2019, when FloFC will begin its coverage. The group phase, consisting of three tiered leagues will kick off in September 2019. The top league will culminate with a final to crown the Nations League champion. The Nations League is the qualifying path to the Gold Cup.
Concacaf General Secretary Philippe Moggio. “Our commitment to bring the Concacaf Nations League closer to our diverse fan base is reinforced by this agreement, which provides an extraordinary opportunity to increase the exposure and relevance of this competition.”
FloFC.com is accessible via a monthly or annual subscription which also gives access to content across the entire FloSports network. The FloSports app is available on iOS, Roku, or Apple TV 4.

Orphaned Land was formed in 1991 under the moniker “Resurrection”.
In 1992, after a period of research and self-realization, the band decided to focus on the actual and cultural reality of the middle-east region and therefore changed its name to “Orphaned Land”.
Orphaned Land is an explorer of various musical styles and existing ideas/concepts worldwide. They combine philosophies and religious concepts in their diverse music, which is based on metal music, yet the sky is the limit when it comes to musical richness and Orphaned Land: they combine ancient folk instruments such as Saz, Kanoon, Oud, Bouzouki, 20 different percussion types, using 6 languages and singing styles from various cultures worldwide, while using and mixing the monotheistic religions,- Judaism, Islam and Christianity with a rainbow full of cultural elements.
In 1993, after self releasing their debut demo “The Beloved’s Cry”, the band was signed by the French label “Holy Records” for 2 albums. Their first album, “Sahara”, was released in 1994, followed by their 1996 “El Norra Alila”, set the stage for Orphaned Land’s unique sound, being a fresh breeze from the middle-east, since the metal scene was so used to bands from the U.S, Europe and Scandinavian countries.
Their albums were widely covered in the press and drew hundreds of interviews.
Following the success of their first 2 albums, Orphaned Land got several offers from major labels, and finally signed with Century Media in 1997.
After signing the new contract, due to personal issue side by side with the harsh reality of life in Israel and the middle-east, Orphaned Land went into “low gear” for nearly 6 years, a period known as “The calm before the flood”. This period ended when the band came back to the stage in a 3 shows mini-tour in Israel and Turkey titled “the calm before the flood”. From there on the path was paved for this extraordinary band, forces got reunited into high gear, and in 2004 the band finished the work of its long awaiting album “Mabool”, telling the story of the three sons of seven and based on the biblical flood.
Immediately after the release of “Mabool”, the band was signed with the leading booking agency ICS.
“Mabool” set Orphaned Land in the front of the middle-eastern & worldwide metal scene as the flagship band of Israel, as the band toured 4 continents in almost 30 countries, including being the first ever Israeli band in world-known festivals such as Wacken Open-Air, Summer-Breeze, Hellfest and ProgPower.
Nowadays the band is working on its next release titled “The Neverending Way Of ORwarriOR” produced by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, Opeth), to be released tentatively at late 2008/early 2009

The list of foods and medications to avoid while pregnant is long and, at times, confusing. Once your baby is born, though, it’s safe to enjoy some sushi or a cold cut sandwich. However, if you are nursing you are likely to still be concerned about what you are passing on to your little one. This is particularly true with medications. Can you take Tylenol or acetaminophen while breastfeeding? You want to make sure you’re not passing on anything harmful to your baby.
Is it common to take acetaminophen while breastfeeding?
Tylenol, which is a brand name for the medication acetaminophen, is a common analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It is a common choice for nursing mothers who need to treat pain or fever, according to Dr. Betsey Marks, M.D., who is a pediatrician and internist in Albany, New York. In fact, it is preferred by most doctors over opiate pain medication in women who are breastfeeding since it is very safe in almost all cases.
How much acetaminophen can you take?
This drug most often comes in 325-milligram capsules over the counter, and it is safe to take two capsules every four to six hours. Unless directed by a doctor, you should not take more than 10 capsules or 3,250 milligrams in one day. There are 500 and 650-milligram capsules as well, but it is always best to start with the lowest dose and consult with your doctor if that is not sufficient.
Is acetaminophen safe for the baby?
Yes, acetaminophen is safe for babies, says Marks. In fact, it is often given to very young babies to treat their own fevers or pain. The amount that they receive through breast milk is less than what a typical does would be in a syringe of infant acetaminophen — a fact that should put your mind at ease.
What are the risks of acetaminophen while nursing?
Side effects to acetaminophen are very rare, says Marks. Still, she cautions that any medication comes with some chance of risk. "The information here does not replace a conversation with your doctor. It is always recommended to check with your doctor prior to starting any new medications, even over the counter."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Colorado truck driver was recognized last week as the 26th annual Goodyear North American Highway Hero.
Jorge Orozco Sanchez was credited for saving two young girls following a horrific highway accident. The independent owner/operator was hauling grain on Oct. 28, 2008 along Hwy. 392 north of Greeley, Col. when an SUV crossed the center line and hit his rig head-on.
The SUV caught fire, but Orozco Sanchez proceeded to run to the vehicle and free the two young girls from their car seats. Tragically, the children’s mother was not able to be freed from the wreck, as the vehicle’s fuel tanks ruptured and exploded, creating an inferno, according to a report from Goodyear.
Orozco Sanchez himself sustained burns to his arms and was taken to hospital.
“Jorge’s quick thinking and bravery will be reflected in the lives of these two girls, just one- and four-years-old, in years to come,” said Joseph Copeland, vice-president, Goodyear Commercial Tires Systems. “It is our hope that their friends and family, including the girls’ father, Colin Nicklas, may find comfort in the saving of these two young lives. Though modest about the rescue, Jorge should feel proud of his actions. His heroics and those of the truck drivers honoured through this award are truly inspiring.”
For his bravery, Orozco Sanchez received a US$10,000 savings bond, a plaque, a Goodyear GPS unit and a specially-designed ring.
The other Highway Hero finalists included: UPS driver Roy Hackett of Nashville, Tenn.; Nikolay Zashev and Tihomir Tanev of the Chicago area, team drivers for FedEx Ground; and Willie Wilson of Santa Clara, Cal. – also of UPS.

NORFOLK, Va. — Republican State Sen. Jen Kiggans, who is running for a competitive House seat against Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria, suggested she supports an abortion ban after 15 weeks into a pregnancy.
Bryan Piligra, a spokesperson for Kiggans' House campaign, shared a statement Wednesday comparing Luria's position on abortion to laws in authoritarian countries. The Virginia Scope was the first to report on Piligra's statement.
"The vast majority of Virginians - and Americans - support common-sense restrictions on abortion such as protecting babies from 15 weeks on," Piligra said.
"What Virginians don't support is the inhumane and extreme position taken by Rep. Elaine Luria who believes babies should be killed all the way through pregnancy, up until the moment of birth, which is current law in North Korea and China."
He continued: "While Sen. Kiggans believes the states should make these decisions, Rep. Luria voted for her extreme position to have Washington tell Virginians what to do."
The statement aligns with the goal of Graham's bill, which would federally prohibit the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy with rare exceptions. But the campaign didn't explicitly say whether she would support that bill or not.
Gianni Snidle, a spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Virginia, criticized the statement from Kiggans' campaign, using "extremist" language.
“Jen Kiggans is an anti-abortion extremist. Full stop," Snidle said. "After attempting to hide and lie about her anti-abortion agenda, Kiggans has finally told Coastal Virginians the truth. Her unwavering support of a nationwide federal abortion ban is a danger to women and out of touch with Coastal Virginians."
After the statement came out, Luria said in a tweet, "She is too extreme for Coastal Virginia."
Luria and her fellow Democrats have sought to paint Kiggans as an extremist, riding a wave of Democratic momentum on the issue after the Supreme Court overturned constitutional abortion rights.
In a recent interview, J. Miles Coleman, the associate editor of elections forecaster Sabato's Crystal Ball, said abortion could be a winning issue for Democrats.
He compared Virginia's 2nd District to New York's 19th District, where a Democrat won in a special House election.
"Just like Virginia's 2nd District, that was a district that Joe Biden only carried by two points," Coleman said. "Abortion seemed to be a winning message for Democrats."

Kiggans has pushed back on the abortion issue, calling it a distraction from economic issues she thinks voters care more about.
In a Sept. 8 interview with "Richmond's Morning News with John Reid," she said the economy, inflation and supply chain shortages were more important issues.
"[The Democrats are] trying to distract with these shiny objects, like the abortion issue, and they're doing it throughout the country, and especially to women candidates that are running," Kiggans told Reid. "But they are running lies...attack ads that are lying about our positions on abortion."
Kiggans said she doesn't support a complete ban on abortion and favors certain exceptions for rape, incest and threat to the life of the mother.
Her comments on the abortion issue's importance contradict a recent poll from Roanoke College, which found that a majority of Virginians support some form of abortion rights.
In the poll conducted between Aug. 7 and 16, 40% of Virginians said abortion should be legal under all circumstances, 48% said it should be legal under some circumstances and just 10% wanted a total ban.
In a statement following Kiggans' Sept. 8 interview, Luria criticized Kiggans' use of the term "shiny objects."
“Abortion is a deeply personal decision for women in Coastal Virginia and throughout the country," Luria said. "A nurse should know that the right to choose is not a ‘shiny object,’ and Jen Kiggans’ dismissive comments this morning are insulting to women everywhere."
She continued: "Jen made clear today that politicians like her should have no place in banning reproductive health care for women, and statements like this are a reminder that Virginians can’t trust her to protect our rights and freedoms."
The messaging from Kiggans' campaign aligns with a recent Republican National Committee memo laying out how candidates should approach the issue.
The memo told candidates to press Democrats on where they stand, paint exceptions to bans as common ground and focus on other issues, like the economy, according to a report from The Washington Post.

North Dakota OKs marijuana legalization petition format
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Secretary of State Al Jaeger has approved the formatting of a petition for a proposed ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana in the state.
The sponsoring committee behind the petition must obtain 15,582 valid signatures by July 11 for the measure to be placed on November’s ballot. That figure amounts to 2% of North Dakota’s population. If supporters miss that deadline but obtain the signatures by April 21, 2023, the measure could be placed on the June 2024 ballot or come to a vote if a special election occurs before then.
The proposed measure seeks to allow people age 21 or older to purchase and use marijuana under certain conditions, the Bismarck Tribune reported. It also sets up the framework for the sale of marijuana within North Dakota, a process that would be implemented by the state Department of Health and Human Services or another entity as determined by the Legislature. The department could register up to seven marijuana manufacturing businesses and 18 dispensaries.
Similar petition drives have failed twice in recent years to gather enough signatures to place a measure on the ballot.

Hey, kids! School may be out, but theres always time for a history lesson. You graduates, dont smirk; you probably need a refresher course.
Long before hip-hop, rap, disco, and funk, when dinosaurs ruled the earth, there was something called R&B, rhythm and blues, aka soul music. R&B was the confluence of the mighty rivers of gospel, blues, and rock and roll. The essence of R&B was a smooth, sensual (usually male) vocalist backed by a driving beat, a horn section, and glossy backing vocals. With a few exceptions, R&B was about love. No, actually it was music to make love to (paying attention now, kids?). Tune to your local jammin oldies station and listen for Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Al Green, and Marvin Gaye, among others. Youll hear what I mean.
Traditional R&B is as dead as the proverbial doornail, a musical museum piece (literally -- that place in Cleveland is chock full of R&B), grist for semi-pathetic oldies shows. Yes, there is still something called R&B around today, but it is a distant kin to the Real Thing. Genuine R&B is never synthesizer-driven (think about it -- how can computers have soul?). Todays R&B basically is rap with singing and without the wucka-wucka sounds.
All of which makes Little Willie G.s new release, Make Up for the Lost Time, a pleasant surprise. Willie G. (Garcia) is a veteran of the Golden Age of soul during the 1960s, having fronted East L.A.s Three Midniters during that era. However, little has been heard from him since then. Having overcome drugs and become an ordained minister, Garcia is ready to get back in the action. He does so essentially by ignoring the last 30 years of music history (Disco? Give me a break.) and picks up where he left off (hence the albums title). The selections are mostly covers of less famous songs by well-known soul men (and women) such as Bobby Womack, Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin and Bobby Blue Bland, or re-recordings of old Three Midniters tunes. There are also three new Garcia originals.
Garcias vocals are always smooth and suave, as they should be, with just the right amount of passion. The horn arrangements and backing vocals are playful and polished, the rhythm section tight and unintrusive. Indeed, the album is produced by Los Lobos singer/guitarist David Hidalgo, a man who knows a thing or two about roots music.
If you liked this kind of music back then, then youll like Make Up for the Lost Time now. Younger listeners either will be bored by the lack of flash or drawn in by the human spirit lacking in todays "soul" music. For you kids who dont think real R&B is exciting, please reread the second paragraph above and remember the following -- this stuff works!

• Be careful where you place your grill. “Safety experts advise that you position the grill shielded from the wind and 10 feet away from anything that’s combustible,” says Melanie Hart, director of the Greene County Extension Office of the Ohio State University. “Never grill under an overhang or in a garage or enclosed patio.”
• After a period of storage or disuse, your gas grill should be checked for gas leaks, deterioration and burner obstructions before using.
• When suiting up for the great outdoors, leave your scarf or any other dangling fabrics inside.
• Clear a path to the grill. Remove all snow and ice before lighting.
• No matter what the weather, using a meat thermometer ensures you’re cooking to safe levels of doneness.
• It’s easy to forget about the grill when you’re back in the cozy indoors, enjoying the ribeye steak or grilled salmon. But remember to shut down the grill in a safe manner.

Free seat belt check in South Strabane
State police will be working with the National Highway Traffic Safety administration on a “Click it or Ticket” campaign during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday week.

CHASE SAPPHIRE RESERVE CREDIT CARD REVIEW [UPDATED 2019]
If you’re looking to book your next trip using rewards points, then you’ll want to get your hands on the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve is one of the very best cards for earning points that can be redeemed for travel and used at leading airlines, hotels, and airport lounges.
This premium card is so good, in fact, that it was named “Best Travel Credit Card for 2017” by Money Magazine. The ability to quickly earn bonus reward points and redeem them for extra value through Chase Ultimate Rewards is what makes this card so coveted by travelers.
But beware that the perks of the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card come at a cost in the form of a hefty annual fee.
- Unlimited 3x points on dining and travel leads the industry
- Bonus offer worth $750 is close to the highest you can get
- 50% point bonus when you redeem travel through Chase travel site
- $300 travel statement credit offsets much of the annual fee
- High spending needed to break even on the very high $450 annual fee
- Need excellent credit to qualify
INITIAL BONUS OF 50,000 CHASE SAPPHIRE REWARDS POINTS
Created as a higher-end version of the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card, the Chase Sapphire Reserve card has better perks and bonus rewards.
It starts with an initial bonus of 50,000 reward points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. And that 50,000 in rewards points is worth 50% more when redeemed through Chase Ultimate Rewards – $750 toward travel rather than the typical $500. Even the Chase Sapphire Preferred card will only get you $625 that can be put toward travel for its 50,000 bonus points.
While the initial bonus points are a nice feature, it’s always important to remember that you have to spend $4,000 in the first three months that you own the credit card to get them. Other comparable credit cards require that people spend less money in order to receive bonus points, and some cards (including the Chase Sapphire Preferred) give you a smaller amount of bonus points – typically between 5,000 and 10,000 – just for signing up and even if you don’t spend a set amount of money in the first three months.
OTHER WAYS TO EARN REWARDS POINTS
What’s really impressive about the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card, and what enables people to rapidly accumulate rewards points, is cardholders earn three times the rewards points on travel and dining at restaurants worldwide – from airfare and hotels to fine dining and cafés.
You will also get one rewards point per dollar spent on all other purchases made. Taken together, this helps people quickly rack up points that can be used to book a trip. People who love collecting rewards points find this aspect of the Chase Sapphire Reserve card irresistible.
Additionally, Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders get a $300 travel credit each year when they use the credit card to make purchases in the travel category. This credit is applied to your credit card statement and automatically lowers your monthly balance.
The nice part of this bonus is that it renews each year on the anniversary of your account activation. So each year, you’ll get $300 applied to your credit card just for using it to book hotels, airlines and rental cars.
ANNUAL AND TRANSACTION FEES
Now for the bad news. The worst thing about the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card is the annual fee, which is $450. An additional $75 is charged for each authorized user added to the card. At that rate, the annual fee can make the Chase Sapphire Reserve card hard to justify for many people.
While a great card for people who travel a lot, the annual fee can be a tough pill to swallow. Consider that the annual fee on the comparable Chase Sapphire Preferred card is only $95, and that the annual fee is waived for the first year, and you get a sense of the expense involved in owning the Chase Sapphire Reserve.
Some consolation may be taken in the fact that there are no fees charged on foreign transactions with the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card, which is good for people who travel overseas either for business or leisure. Foreign transaction fees can run as high as 3% on some credit cards.
The annual fee is not the only thing that is high on the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card. The annual percentage rate (APR), or interest charged, is also higher than the industry standard at 17.99% to 24.99%, depending on your creditworthiness.
People who have a good credit rating will get the lower APR, while people with a bad credit rating will be charged the higher rate. Similar travel rewards credit cards charge interest as low as 14.49%, and the average credit card APR is about 16%.
Also, many other credit cards offer an introductory APR of 0% for the first year. Not so with the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card. The APR applies as soon as you begin using the card, and you’ll be subject to 26.99% interest on all cash advances you make. That interest too is charged immediately.
CHASE SAPPHIRE RESERVE BENEFITS
The Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card does come with some nice benefits that are all aimed at making traveling as comfortable as possible. These include:
- Receiving a one-to-one point transfer with leading airline and hotel loyalty programs
- Access to more than 1,000 VIP airport lounges worldwide
- Up to $100 application fee credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck
- Special car rental privileges from National Car Rental, Avis and Silvercar
- Protection against trip cancellations, lost luggage, emergency evacuations and damage or theft of purchases
WHO SHOULD NOT GET THIS CARD
The Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card is for people who travel a lot and who can afford the annual fee of $450. Price sensitive consumers who do not want to pay expensive annual fees should consider getting another travel rewards credit card that has a lower annual fee.
While the rewards may not be as generous with another card, you won’t be saddled with high fees and high APR.
ALTERNATIVE CARD: PLATINUM CARD FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS
In addition to considering the less expensive Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card, you might also want to check out the Platinum Card from American Express as an alternative premium travel rewards credit card.
The American Express Platinum card actually has a more expensive annual fee at $550, but cardholders earn five times reward points with the card. The Amex Platinum also provides complimentary Gold elite status with Hilton and Starwood hotels.
Also, Chase requires applicants go through a rigorous credit check in order to obtain the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. The application process for the Platinum Card from American Express is less onerous.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve is one of the very best travel reward credit cards. It has a number of features designed to help cardholders earn reward points that can be redeemed for airlines, airport lounges and hotels.
It also comes with beneficial travel protections and insurance coverages to help ensure trips go smoothly. But be forewarned that such rewards and benefits come at a cost in the form of high annual fees and high APR. If you can afford it though, the Chase Sapphire Reserve card would be nice to have in your wallet or purse.

KOTA KINABALU, Dec 13 — The Sabah assembly voted to amend the state’s constitution today to allow the Yang diPertua Negeri to serve indefinitely versus the previous two-term limit.
The state legislature approved the deletion of the clause from the Sabah constitution despite objections from Opposition lawmakers who argued that there was no need for or urgency to introduce such a change.
The 65-seat assembly recorded 45 votes in favour or and 15 votes against the amendment; five lawmakers were absent from the special sitting.
Karanaan assemblyman Datuk Masidi Manjun was present earlier but missed the vote along with Sulaman assemblyman Datuk Hajiji Noor, Membakut assemblyman Datuk Ariffin Arif, Nabawan assemblyman Datuk Bobbey Suan and Sungai Sibuga assemblyman Tan Sri Musa Aman.
Those against the removal were Matunggong assemblyman Julita Majungki, Tandek assemblyman Anita Baranting, Tempasuk assemblyman Datuk Musbah Jamli, Usukan assemblyman Datuk Japlin Akim, Tamparuli assemblyman Datuk Jahid Jakim, Kiulu assemblyman Datuk Joniston Bangkuai, and Klias assemblyman Datuk Isnin Aliasnih.
Other dissenters include Lumadan assemblyman Datuk Matbali Musbah, Kundasang assemblyman Datuk Dr Joachim Gunsalam, Tambunan Assemblyman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, Bingkor assemblyman Robert Tawik, Sook assemblyman Datuk Ellron Angian, Labuk assemblyman Datuk Abdul Rahman Konkawang and Apas assemblyman Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal said the amendment meant a return to the original version of the Sabah Constitution from 1963 during the formation of Malaysia, which did not provide a limit.
He argued there was no need to limit the term of the state governor as they are appointed only after careful consideration.
“It is different from the post of prime minister or chief minister, which is elected by the public. They (governors) have no executive powers and are a symbolic Head of State,” he said.
Shafie also denied claims of “negotiations” for the term-limit removal or that it was a “reward” for the governor as repayment for the sequence of events after the general election that led to him becoming the chief minister.
Sabah Governor Tuan Yang Terutama (TYT) Tun Juhar Mahiruddin swore Shafie in as chief minister barely 48 hours after he did the same for Tan Sri Musa Aman.
Musa, who is Umno’s sole remaining Sabah assemblyman, sued Juhar over this.
“There was no negotiation, I swear. He (Juhar) didn’t appoint a chief minister based on any negotiation, it was because he saw a clear majority from the state assemblyman’s own account,” said Shafie.
He asserted that the timing of the amendment was completely coincidental.
The assembly convened for a special sitting today to expressly to amend the state’s constitution to delete clause (3) Article 2 that had limited each governor to a maximum tenure of two terms or equivalent to eight years.
The clause was introduced in 1987, when Parti Bersatu Sabah had governed the state, to allow for higher turnover in the post.
Juhar was appointed in January 2011 and his term coincidentally expires this year.
Earlier, Tambunan assemblyman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan rejected the amendment by arguing that there were more urgent or beneficial matters for the assembly’s consideration including to demand equal status to the peninsula.
“I think if we are going to amend anything, it’s to restore Article 1 to revert the Head of State’s title to Yang diPertua Negara, and not Negeri, which is in line and consistent with the current stand to restore state rights,” he said.
Kiulu assemblyman Datuk Joniston Bangkuai said that the limit was preferable as it would celebrate the “diversity” of Sabah and allow all races an opportunity to hold the post, questioning why minorities should have to wait longer now for a turn at being governor.
The pensions of former governors also became the point of contention during the debate earlier, when Kemabong assemblyman Datuk Jamawi Jaafar asserted that removing the term limit would reduce what the state must spend to maintain former holders of the post.
He said the two immediate past governors were still receiving their monthly pensions along with other benefits and privileges to which they were entitled for life.
Masidi criticised him, however, for raising the topic of money when discussing the esteemed post and accused Jamawi of insulting governors past and present by suggesting that their pensions were burdensome.
“Perhaps they are not aware how little the TYT’s pensions used to be. It used to be less than RM2,000 until it was amended recently by the BN administration,” he said.
“Let’s talk about other justifications and not argue about this pittance,” he said.


MPs like to have something to deplore, and as L’Affaire Darroch rolls on, they have lots of material
History of sorts was made in the Commons on Wednesday. It’s not every day that a minister is called to answer an urgent question on whether he still agreed with what he had said the day before. Or the day before that, for that matter. And on the whole, junior Foreign Office minister Alan Duncan did agree with junior Foreign Office minister Alan Duncan that the prime minister designate, Boris Johnson, had thrown Kim Darroch, the UK ambassador to the US, under a bus and was guilty of contemptible negligence.
With so little else going on in parliament while the Tory leadership coronation meanders to its conclusion – dozens of MPs are missing, presumed dead, trapped under large bales of tumbleweed – L’Affaire Darroch has dominated proceedings for three days now. First as an expression of outrage that confidential diptels should have been leaked, then astonishment at Johnson refusing on six occasions to defend Darroch from Donald Trump’s insults, and finally disgust at the ambassador’s forced resignation.

Playing cards have a special attraction in them. Unlike any other game Cards offer a variety of different games within them, breaking the monotony arising out of repetition.
I have been playing cards with the same passion since i was a child !! Many people find cards bad. But if you play them decently they are just like any other indoor game!!
Let me recollect the memories and remebering each and every GAME of cards that i have played till now.
So this post is dedicated to playing cards..
First game that i learned was Patte pe Patta, where 2 or more people divides the cards equally, and then each player turn by turn opens one card. The one who throws the card of either a same sign or same number as previous card takes the whole lot generated in that session!! Deal is to get all the available cards from rest of the players. This is one of the easiest game.
Next game i learned was quite similar to previous one called "Chatai", followed by few more games like Ghar Lootna, Duggi Bazaar, Donkey Stop, Laad. These Games are easiest games that require minimum use of Brain. Any child can follow these games very quickly.
Though these are a bit tougher than Flash, thats normally, rather is always played with money, as without including money nobody is intrested in it(one of the games i find totally crap). Let me give a fake idea that i have about how it is played. In flash each player gets 3 cards, and then starts bidding (without having the idea what the other person has got). And the player who dont want to bid more says "SHOW", and other players show their cards. Highest is the trail (Trail means having same numbered cards of different signs. eg. Three Aces) and lowest being no repetion of any number or any sign in the trio. In between there are many other combinations. ( I dont know all of them).
Particularly this game is one of the dumbest games in my knowledge, having no sports spirit.
Next series of games include Teen Do Panch (3 player game) and Saath aath(2 player game), Uno, Bluff(420).These games are one of the very intresting games and most common too. Specially Teen Do Panch and bluff are favourites of many. I would like to rate them as 2.5 out of 5.
Next level of games are tactful but easy to learn. First one being Rummy, a very intresting game, if played intelligently. Then comes Code Peace, a four player game, where four players are divided in a two teams having two player each. This game has no sessions and can be played untill one gets sleepy. lol.. In the end, the team that has minimum number of Codes, wins. These games are worth 3 or 3.5 out of 5
Another game that requires brain in a good amount is "28". This game is very old, and very few people know it. Drawback is its a very lengthy game and is rarely finished.. But when you'll play it you wont find its worth below 4 out of 5!!
Finally i think there are two games that should be termed as Kings of cards (i cant say which one is better). They are Bridge and Sweep!! These are believed to be most intelligent Games. They are not everybody's cuppa tea. Many people find them hard to play, as they need maximum application of brain!!
I tried to learn Brigde from one of my quite elder cousin brother (the only person till now, who knows bridge, among the people i know) but i could'nt.I have seen most of the people find these two games difficult to learn and difficult to play. Though the person who knows thems enjoys them to the core.
Dont think am a pakki juawari kinds.. :P Cards are a real sport, if played with true spirit!! :)
