text: HomeArticlesIslamic BeliefAN-NASIR - The Helper; The Supporter AN-NASIR - The Helper; The Supporter Harun Yahya We supported them, and so they were the victors. (Surat as-Saffat, 37:116) Allah is our sole helper and guardian. In all difficulties and situations, believers ask for His help and He accepts their call. In order to establish justice, acquire property and recover from an illness so that they could pursue Allah's good pleasure, the Prophets turned to Allah alone. In return, He answered their sincere calls and guided them at all times. Allah promises the following in His book: Our Word was given before to Our servants, the Messengers, that they would certainly be helped. (Surat as-Saffat, 37:171-72) In this way, We have assigned to every Prophet an enemy from among the evildoers. But your Lord is a sufficient guide and helper. (Surat al-Furqan, 25:31) In "... it is Our duty to help the believers" (Surat ar-Rum, 30:47), Allah states that He will help His believing servants. However, among the most important prerequisites for earning Allah's good pleasure is to help His religion, observe His limits meticulously, and strive for this cause. In return, He always helps them. As Allah promises, victory belongs only to those who believe in our Lord and struggle to attain His good pleasure and consent. One verse reads: Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land, just as He made those before them successors; will firmly establish for them their religion, with which He is pleased; and will give them, in place of their fear, security. "They worship Me, not associating anything with Me." Any who do not believe after that, such people are deviators. (Surat an-Nur, 24:55) Allah does not leave believers alone and helpless in this world. Rather, He promises to help them both in this world and beyond. And, as He states, He keeps His promises: We will certainly help Our Messengers and those who believe both in the life of the world and on the Day the witnesses appear.

INDIANAPOLIS—The Barry softball lived to fight another day when the NCAA announced the bid for the 2013 Division II Softball Tournament on Monday. The Buccaneers, who sit at 32-18 and finished a game out of first place in the Sunshine State Conference, received their third straight regional bid, a sixth-seed in the South Region II.
The Bucs will travel to Huntsville, Ala., for the tournament and will face off against the third seed, the North Alabama Lions, at 4:00 pm Central Time on Friday, May 10. In the other first round game, the host UAH Chargers will face the West Alabama Tigers at 7:00 pm Central.
The Bucs went 5-7 against six other teams who made the field, including wins against three automatic qualifying schools.
Seniors Sarah Broeseker and Alexis Yohe lead the Bucs at the plate and in the circle respectively. Broeseker is batting .423 with 32 runs scored and 32 RBI. She leads the team in doubles (13), triples (4) and walks (20) as well. Yohe is 18-7 with a 1.38 ERA and 136 strikeouts in 162.2 innings. She tossed 19 complete games, including eight shutouts and held the opposition to a .193 average.
For the Bucs, it was their third straight bid and the sixth in eight years under head coach Danielle Penner. Overall, it is the 17th trip to the championship in 28 years of the program.

9 travel sites where photography is not allowed
Forbidden Slideshow: 9 Travel Sites Where Photography Is Not Allowed
Put the camera away, shutterbug! Some of the most alluring places on the planet don't allow photography. But just because you can't take pictures doesn't mean a few photographers haven't snapped an image or two over the years. Here's a sneak peek inside some of the world's most private sites.
Main Reading Room, Library of Congress
Sure, you should keep your voice down at the Library of Congress's Main Reading Room, in the Thomas Jefferson Building. But the room also does not allow photography of any kind. Visitors are welcome to take in the marble columns and plaster figures that represent religion, history, and other disciplines.
Get there: Washington, D.C., is accessible by highway or air, but many Northeasterners prefer to hop an Amtrak train.
Taj Mahal
Built as a mausoleum for the wife of a 17th-century Mughal emperor, the Taj Mahal, in Agra, India, sets the bar high for marital devotion. Don't let its age deceive you: The site has a decidedly post-modern edge to it, combining architectural traditions from Persian, Ottoman, and Indian traditions. The Taj Mahal not only forbids the taking of photographs, but you'll also have to surrender food, cameras, and tripods at the door to collect on your way out.
Get there: The site is about a four-hour drive from New Delhi.
Amish communities
A sect of Mennonite Christians, the Amish live a rural agrarian lifestyle, shunning modern conveniences like automobiles and telephones. Horse-drawn buggy rides and the opportunity to step back into a 19th-century American aesthetic make Amish Country an irresistible draw for city slickers in search of relaxation. While the Amish welcome visitors, they ask that you respect their privacy by not snapping pics.
Get there: Lancaster County is about a 45-minute drive from Harrisburg and about 90 minutes from Philadelphia.
Rosslyn Chapel
Fans of The Da Vinci Code movie may recognize Rosslyn Chapel, in Roslin, Scotland, whose construction began in 1446. It features intricate stone carvings depicting not only Biblical characters and religious events like the Nativity, but also scenes of Scottish rural life, including a woman chasing a goose. The chapel's famous stone carvings include medieval knights in armor and the "Green Man," a pagan figure representing the union of humans with nature.
Get there: Take a taxi from Edinburgh.
The Valley of the Kings
The Valley of Kings, in Luxor, Egypt, is where royalty was buried between the 16th and 11th centuries B.C. Camera flashes can damage millenia-old artifacts such as mummies, but you may get your camera temporarily confiscated if you try to snap exterior shots here as well. Many of the tombs here were ransacked many centuries ago, but some were only discovered in the 20th century. They range in size from simple pits to multi-chambered "residences" decked out with scenes from ancient mythology.
Get there: Grab a taxi, bus, or, ideally, an air-conditioned train from Cairo.
Emirates Palace
You may be surprised to find a modern-day hotel on our list, but this is definitely a "when in the United Arab Emirates," situation, where the subject of a photograph, rather than the photographer, is usually considered the owner of the image. Last year a shutterbug who ignored the "no photography" signs was jailed. The Emirates Palace was built using marble from around the world, giving it a kinship with many of the world's more ancient wonders. Rooms start at $400 per night and can top $11,000.
Get there: This luxe lair is a 30-minute drive from the Abu Dhabi airport.
Bachkovo Monastery
No wonder cameras are a no-no at the Bachkovo Monastery in Bulgaria. Eastern Orthodox structures were first built here more than a thousand years ago, and some were destroyed during the Crusades. Surviving frescoes—delicate paintings originally executed on wet plaster— adorn the walls.In addition to these frescoes, the Bachkovo Monastery's cathedral also features an icon of the Virgin Mary that is said to work miracles for devotees.
Get there: It's about a two-hour drive from Sofia.
Golden Gai District, Tokyo
Right in the heart of Tokyo's Shinjuku district, the Golden Gai area, once a center of post-war prostitution, is now party central for young barhoppers and Western visitors. The only hitch? You guessed it: Signs in the street proclaim a photo ban. This aerial shot of the Golden Gai area of Shinjuku, Tokyo, shows one of the neighborhood's curious charms: Buildings are often only several feet wide, so elbowing up the bar often literally means, well, using your elbows.
Get there: It's a short walk from Tokyo's Shinjuku station.
Lenin's Mausoleum
The tomb of Vladimir Lenin, the first leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was designed with the mausoleums of antiquity in mind, with some of its details reminiscent of ancient pyramids. What can you say about the embalmed body of a ruthless dictator who's been dead since 1924? Though Lenin's vision of a communist utopia has dimmed over the years, his earthly remains are still carefully tended to, and out of respect for the dead, photography is not allowed.
Get there: It's right in Moscow's Red Square.

If I hadn't gone out for my anniversary last night.
Bush irks "the base" with this immigration digs:
Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Calif., head of the Immigration Reform Caucus, took offense at President Bush's assertion that critics of a Senate immigration bill were determined to find fault with the measure by looking "at a narrow slice of it."
"Amnesty for 12-20 million illegal immigrants isn't a 'narrow slice' Mr. President, it's the whole darn pie," Bilbray said, in a press release.
Just the facts: The Fiscal Cost of Low-Skill Immigrants to the U.S. Taxpayer. A HUGE study done by the Heritage Foundation that SHOULD have been done by Congress before this bill was even drafted.
"Each year, families and individuals pay taxes to the government and receive back a wide variety of services and benefits. A fiscal deficit occurs when the benefits and services received by one group exceed the taxes paid. When such a deficit occurs, other groups must pay for the services and benefits of the group in deficit. Each year, government is involved in a large-scale transfer of resources between different social groups..."
Clinton espouses socialism once again: Shared Prosperity Should Replace 'On Your Own' Society:
"The Democratic senator said what the Bush administration touts as an ownership society really is an "on your own" society that has widened the gap between rich and poor.
"I prefer a 'we're all in it together' society," she said. "I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none."
We didn't think the possibility was still on the books, but finally a traitor is actually charged with treason.
" An American member of Al Qaeda warned President Bush to end American involvement in all Islamic lands or face an attack worse than the September 11, 2001, assault, according to a new videotape.
Wearing a white robe and a turban, Adam Yehiye Gadahn, who also goes by the name Azzam al-Amriki, said Al Qaeda would not negotiate on its demands.
"Your failure to heed our demands ... means that you and your people will ... experience things which will make you forget all about the horrors of September 11th, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and Virginia Tech," he said in the seven-minute video.
Mr. Gadahn, who has been charged in an American treason indictment with aiding Al Qaeda, spoke in English and the video carried Arabic subtitles." (source)

Park County leads Wyoming in the number of hunting licenses sold for next month's wolf hunt.
The Powell Tribune reports sales of the licenses began Friday. Eric Keszler is spokesman for the game department. He says that as of 9 a.m. Monday, 834 wolf licenses had been sold statewide.
Park County hunters had purchased 157 licenses. Teton and Fremont and Sublette counties followed with 141, 136 and 119, respectively. Ten non-residents also had purchased wolf licenses. Licenses cost $18 for Wyoming residents and $180 for non-residents. Although there's no limit on the number of licenses that may be sold, hunting will close after quotas are reached in specific areas. Wolves are classified as unprotected predators in most of the state.

Kings' sale finalized
Sacramento, CA – The sale of the Sacramento Kings to an investment group headed by Vivek Ranadive was completed Friday.
The Maloof family sold its controlling interest in the franchise and ownership of Sleep Train Arena for an NBA record $534 million. The transaction had been approved by the NBA's Board of Governors on Tuesday.
"We respect and would like to acknowledge the NBA Board of Governors' dedication and diligence in working through this process over the past several months," said George Maloof in a statement Friday. "On behalf of my family, I would like to thank commissioner David Stern and the NBA staff who worked tirelessly on this transaction. I also would like to praise mayor Kevin Johnson and the Sacramento City Council and staff for their efforts and loyalty to the Sacramento community."
The Maloof family had controlling ownership of the Kings since 1999 and had been trying to sell the club after repeated efforts for a new stadium deal continued to fall through.
There was a competing bid from a partnership that would have moved the club to Seattle, but NBA owners earlier this spring voted to keep the team in Sacramento after mayor Kevin Johnson, a former NBA player, worked tirelessly to keep the Kings in the city with a new stadium plan and Ranadive's proposal.
The Maloof family had agreed in January to sell a 65 percent share of the team to a group led by hedge fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who would have moved the Kings to Seattle.
On March 27, the Sacramento City Council approved a public-private deal to build a new 18,500-seat arena and retail center downtown, leading to the purchase bid from Ranadive's group.
The league heard proposals from both groups in April and decided, by a 22-8 vote, to keep the team in Sacramento.
"We are pleased for both the Maloof family and the Ranadive group, but particularly pleased for the fans of the Kings," said NBA commissioner David Stern in a statement Friday.
Seattle has been without an NBA team since the SuperSonics left for Oklahoma City following the 2007-08 campaign. The Sonics were an expansion franchise in 1967-68.
The Kings, meanwhile, have been in numerous cities since their inception in 1948-49. They began as the Rochester Royals until 1956-57, then stopped in Cincinnati through 1971-72 before moving to the Midwest. They changed their name to the KC-Omaha Kings before becoming the Kansas City Kings in 1975-76, then moved to Sacramento for the start of the 1985-86 season.

Dingo for the EEE pc
Haven't seen anyone else post about trying Dingo 3.99 on the EEE yet. So EEE owners here's a head's up:
1. Make sure you download the atl2 module if using a wired
connection bacuse the module for the EEE is not pre-loaded.
You have to goto 'connect' then 'load' click 'more' then type atl2.
Works fine after that. (Haven't tried wireless yet).
2. To get the sound to work properly you have to edit the file
modprobe.conf in the /etc/ directory. The last line should say:
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig then save it. Reboot
and the sound should work now.
Thanks goes to the original poster(s) from whom I cobbled this info together.
BTW I have Opera 9.23 working fine in Dingo 3.99 so far. Prefer it to Seamonkey.
One 'bug' report. As the desktop is starting and Hotpup is bringing up the different drive icons, my external monitor resets with each new icon added. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks

The first thing I did was use the universal install to put Dingo Beta 2
on a USB key drive and boot from it on the Eeepc.
It worked OK apart from the scrunched up icons, which I reported
for Beta 1 and Barry moved the hotpup icons to the right
(which does not seem to be happening) as a solution.
My main point of interest is wifi support out of the box
Tempestuous has a solution but it is not implemented by default
(the Eeepc uses a customised wifi module)
Have you got wifi working?
Ethernet connection works fine.
I must say that 90% of my computing ability
is being internet connected . . .
Also be aware of Breezy and Pupeee puplets for the Eeepc
I am sure you are . . .

There are a lot of issues with HotPup. Perhaps it should be off by default, with an option to turn it on and off?
In fact, there could be an icon on the desktop, with an info text that says "click me to toggle HotPup on and off"
...what do you reckon?

Post subject: boot parameter
The internal SSD of the eeePC gets identified as "hdc" by Puppy. One workaround suggested is to use "hdc=noprobe" at boot so that the SSD gets identified as a USB device, and comes up (correctly) as "sda".
Hey, guys, please try this with Dingo 3.99 and see what comes up (I don't have my eeePC right now).

I've been toying with this myself since the Eeepc does have a few unusual constrains like a very small screen and lots of partitions by default. So far the best solution I have come up with is to write my own auto mounter. Turning Hotpup on and off is not that seamless since it requires a restart of the X server and it writes to /root./.xinitrc. We really should not be writing to that file and turning on and off a drive mounter should not require restarting X.

Owning an Eee, one option could be made availible to wipe the Eee linux, and substitute in the puppy os as boot part and program part. Naturally, the program loads to RAM, and changes can be optioned to USB, SD, Internal, etc. People with a 2G model need every millimeter of space.

In Pupeee grub file I have "hdc=noprobe" now my ssd shows up hdc1, so still not showing up as usb.
I am considering installing dingo, I need

I am deploying to Iraq at end of year and need my Eeepc running in tip top shape.

I'm glad to see people are working on this. I just installed pup-eee 3.01 on my eee-pc yesterday. I got so fed up with the built-in xandros not connecting to wi-fi properly. Half of the time I'd get the dreaded "pending..." problem. So I wiped the entire HD and installed a customized version of XP I found on the pirate bay that is very small and fast, and put a dual boot with Pup-EEE 3.01. To be honest, I think I prefer using Pup-eee.
I just wish Xine were more stable. Every unit I've ever tried Puppy on (desktops and laptops), Xine is unstable. It usually works okay if you don't try resizing or stopping and staring the video much.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing 4.0 running on the eee-pc. I'll upgrade mine as soon as somebody has a customized ISO. (I'm too lazy to play with thngs these days.. A family and a full-time job tend to leave little time for hacking. I need things to just work.)

Post subject: Puppy 4 working on the eeepc!
I have managed to get Puppy 4 working on the eeepc with Wireless networking, brightness etc. I simply downloaded the necessary drivers from the pupeee website and did a remaster. Installed it to a USB pen, booted the eeepc and installed it to the internal SSD. The only thing I could not get to work was the sound, but it looks like the author of the first post in this thread has a solution to that. I will try it when I get my eeepc back next week.

Dear Editor:
NWIMSU, Northern Wisconsin Military Support Unit, extends appreciation to Park City Credit Union of Merrill, and Mike Giesler, Randy Clay and Linda Osness for assistance with our recent information session for military families. …
… NWIMSU, Northern Wisconsin Military Support Unit was organized to support the families of any active military person in any branch of service in the United States Armed Forces in the Merrill and Antigo area. NWIMSU was not formed to be part of the State Family Unit, or its programs, already established through the National Guard. NWIMSU was formed to provide additional support and assistance to our troops and their families. …
One area includes setting up a network of volunteers to provide assistance to our families in areas of need, such as: minor household repairs, babysitting, income tax information and assistance, yard work, snow shoveling, help with communications/computers, local transportation, etc. We've enlisted help from area churches in compiling a list of volunteers. The church response has been tremendous, as has the response from other local volunteers. The names and phone numbers of the families and volunteers will not be distributed. They will be coordinated through a volunteer committee member in order to maintain confidentiality.
The NWIMSU also is working on "Operation Mail Call" (not to be confused with "Operation Shoe Box"). We are collecting various items to send individual packages to local active military persons. If our response exceeds the need, the overflow will be sent to "Any Soldier." The address(s) will be confidential and will not be used for anything other than shipping packages. Park City Credit Union is the "drop off" site for items. The contact person is Linda Osness. A list of needed items will be available at Park City Credit Union. The packaging and shipping of packages will be done at the VFW Hall in Merrill at a later date.
NWIMSU also is planning to hold special events for the families … as a way of showing our support.
NWIMSU would like to thank Ed Nyberg of Tomahawk, who has been invaluable in advising us. Ed was involved with the NWIMSU group for the Tomahawk and Rhinelander area, which worked with the Tomahawk and Rhinelander Armories. He shared the information of their NWIMSU group with us to help us establish our group for the Merrill and Antigo area.

text: If you don't think "worldly" and "sophisticated" when you hear "Canada," you haven't been to Ontario. Canada's most populous province shatters ice-fishing images with multicultural metropolises, vibrant festivals and an urbane population as stylish as it is friendly. Canada's largest city, Toronto, is star of the Ontarian show. Waves of immigration have created a dynamism best experienced through its ethnic restaurants, its arts festivals and its uniquely distinct neighborhoods. The city swells with culture and celebrities during the autumn Toronto International Film Festival, when the artsy and stylish outdo themselves. But the culture doesn't stop there. Capital Ottawa's modern museums and hip eateries will warm you through the tough winters. Small town Kingston oozes historical ambiance with its 19th-century churches and military fortifications, while its pub scene familiarizes you with its animated present. But it's not all cosmopolitanism—Ontario's national parks, lakes and boreal forests are ripe with outdoor activities. Families will want to head to Wasaga Beach, the world's longest freshwater beach, while those in need of a restful weekend respite will love sandy oasis Pelee Island. And then there's the roaring, gushing, epic power of Niagara Falls, adding a bit of jaw-dropping to Ontario's wow-factor. As if you needed it.

When people talk about advertising's sexist past—starring happy housewives who can't drive cars but can really push a vacuum cleaner—the caveat tends to be: But look how far we've come today! Times sure have changed!
But have they?
Click here to compare sexist vintage and modern ads>
Sex is a main feature of many current advertising campaigns. There are droves of commercials starring Kate Upton's cleavage and American Apparel uses an army of naked models to sell clothing, but that's just the tip of the chauvinist iceberg.
While demeaning ads were more omnipresent in the '50s and '60s, their modern counterparts can give vintage ads a run for their money. We've compiled some notoriously sexist vintage ads and put them side-by-side with their modern doppelgangers.
The similarities are shocking. And depressing.

text: Multiple selection in lists with more than a few items might become difficult because selected as well as available items are not visible at once. As an alternative approach the dual-list pattern (also known as list builder, or paired lists) was introduced. It consists of two standard list boxes with the option to move items from one list to the other and back. Dual-lists are useful for extended multiple selection in general, especially for huge sets of items or in case of elaborate selections. The trade-off is the rather large amount of space that is needed to show two adjoined lists.

Seneca Street Elementary shows innovation and creativity in Follett challenge
ONEIDA>> Seneca Street Elementary School is using its innovative community of 21st century learners as an example to win the Follett challenge this year.
The Follett challenge is a national competition to determine which schools have used technology and innovation to help boost literacy and tech skills in the classroom. Follett, a national distributor of text books, library software and other materials, will be giving the top 6 schools various amounts of product. The first place prize is $60,000 worth of Follett products.
Seneca Street Elementary put together their video presenting innovation at the school after Library Media Specialist Kalpana Lennox found out about the competition. The school got their iPads in April, and have already begun to utilize them for various projects.
"The iPads are great for multimedia projects," Lennox said. "The kids are always really excited to use technology."
In addition to the apple tablets, the students utilize laptops, SMART boards and an online network called 'my big campus', a portal where they can answer questions and take quizzes online.
Fourth graders Josh Muirhead and Ajay Hicks enjoy using the iPads in class to creat projects and draw pictures. Josh said that the class has used the iPads to create projects in the past. The next project is making trailers in iMovie for eBooks they have read for class.
"This is a building wide initiative," Lennox said. "Everyone is working together to get this done. That's what I want to show through the video: what a great school we are and how we can work together to get things done."
As of Monday, Feb. 11 the school has 1041 votes and is in 17th place on the Follett challenge website. There are over 113 schools worldwide competing so far, only six of those are in New York State. The project can be voted on daily, and the voting score will represent 30 percent of the final standings in the competition. The rest is based on a series of essays that were submitted along with the video written by Lennox.
To vote and watch Seneca Street's video presentation, visit http://www.follettchallenge.com/video.cfm?id=307. Voting ends March 18.

Fatal Error by Randall Ensley
Fatal Error copyright Randall Ensley
Fatal Error was based on an early Soviet-style cosmonaut helmet and suit combination. The trope of showing dire warnings in the reflection of the space helmet had probably been around for some time when this was created back in the early 2000's, but I thought the effect I got from this black and white pen and ink illustration produced exactly the results I wanted.

Randall Ensley
Connecticut, United States
I began to delve into the world of illustration in 2001 and recently was one of the winners of the Illustrators of the Future contest. I heartily encourage any aspiring illustrator to enter the contest as it is free and gives you the chance to meet and get advice from very established authors and illustrators in the science fiction and fantasy field. I was also fortunate enough to win 3rd place in the 65th Annual Connecticut Artists Exhibition in 2008 and a Judge's Choice Award at the 2004 World Science Fiction Convention art show for "Final Frontier." I was honored when Diamond Comics featured me as their star artist of the month in March 2006. I am working on various special art projects and enjoy showing my art at art shows and, of course, Free Comic Book Day!

Fox Selectively Edits Video To Attack Common Core Educational Standards
Blog ››› ››› HANNAH GROCH-BEGLEY
Fox News used a selectively edited video to falsely claim an Obama administration education initiative, Common Core, would reward students for getting math problems wrong.
Co-host Steve Doocy falsely claimed that the video revealed students could answer math questions incorrectly and still "get it right" under Common Core, simply if they "explained" their wrong answer to their teacher. Guest co-host Anna Kooiman furthered the attack by suggesting a student who learned math under Common Core might become "a doctor and operat[e] on the wrong knee."
But the unedited video of August's comments reveals that she very specifically stated that wrong answers would be corrected, and that the school simply wants to ensure that students understood the process behind coming to the correct answer:
AUGUST: Even if they said, '3 x 4 was 11,' if they were able to explain their reasoning and explain how they came up with their answer really in words and in oral explanations, and they showed it in the picture but they just got the final number wrong, we're really more focusing on the how.
OFF-SCREEN: You're going to be correcting them, right?
AUGUST: Absolutely, absolutely. We want our students to compute correctly. But the emphasis is really moving more towards the explanation, and the how, and the why, and 'can I really talk through the procedures that I went through to get this answer, and not just knowing that it's 12, but why is it 12? How do I know that?
While Doocy described the program as "a new national curriculum the Obama administration is imposing on schools," Common Core is not a curriculum, but a set of standards that delineates what skills students should acquire at each grade level. States have the option to decide whether or not to adopt the Common Core standards, and school districts determine their own curricula to comply. Forty-five states and the District of Columbia have adopted the program. Many private and religious schools have opted-out.
Kathleen Porter-Magee of the Thomas B. Fordham institute and Sol Stern of the Manhattan Institute explained in the National Review that according to Fordham Institute research, compared "with existing state standards ... for most states, Common Core is a great improvement with regard to rigor and cohesiveness."

Noel Wien
Probably the best known of Alaska's first bush pilots, Noel Wien had something most of the others didn't: a long life. Wien died at 78, after seeing the airline he founded 50 years earlier expand, under his brother's management, to provide flights from Alaska to as far away as Denver, Colorado. By 1985, when Wien Air ceased operations, it was the second oldest airline in the United States. It had come a long way from its 1927 beginning as the first scheduled air service in Alaska, with a single biplane flying one weekly round trip between Fairbanks and Nome. (In the photo Wien is standing with his wife Ada next to the airline's Stinson Detroiter.)
Wien was a cautious and highly skilled pilot. When he first arrived in Alaska, he refused to fly in winter, regardless of the conditions. But as he gained experience in the country, he too had plenty of adventures, including making the first landing north of the Arctic Circle.

The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book.(Surat al-An'am 59)
And why indeed should we not put our trust in Allah when He has guided us to our ways? We will be steadfast however much you harm us. Those who trust put their trust in Allah.'Those who were kafir said to their Messengers, 'We will drive you from our land unless you return to our religion.' Their Lord revealed to them, 'We will destroy those who do wrong.We wll leave you the land to live in after them. That is the reward of those who fear My station and fear My threat.'(Surah Ibrahim,12-14)
Say: 'Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is Our Master. It is in Allah that the muminun should put their trust.'(Surat at-Tawba,51)
Those who say, 'Our Lord is Allah,' and then go straight will feel no fear and will know no sorrow. (Surat al-Ahqaf,13)
Not so! All who submit themselves completely to Allah and are good-doers will find their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will know no sorrow. (Surat Al-Baqara,112)
Those who have iman and show taqwa, there is good news for them in the life of the dunya and in the akhira. There is no changing the words of Allah. That is the great victory! (Surah Yunus,62-64)
Those who submit themselves completely to Allah and do good have grasped the Firmest Handhold. The end result of all affairs is with Allah. (Surah Luqman, 22)
There is no compulsion where the deen is concerned. Right guidance has become clearly distinct from error. Anyone who rejects false gods and has iman in Allah has grasped the Firmest Handhold, which will never give way. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (Surat Al-Baqara, 256)
When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky. That is how Allah defiles those who do not believe. (Surat al-An'am, 125)

Savage Art: A Biography of Jim Thompson
Knopf, 1995 - Biography & Autobiography - 543 pages
Jim Thompson wrote some of the darkest, boldest, and most celebrated modern crime novels, including The Grifters and The Killer Inside Me. In Savage Art, Robert Polito provides the first comprehensive biography of this brilliant American original. Combining exhaustive research with novelistic fluency, Polito reproduces the vital textures of Thompson's world and provides the first thorough chronicle of his private and public history, tracing Thompson's dramatization of his innermost life in the "savage art" of his surprisingly personal novels. A vivid and compelling reclamation of a lost American writer, Savage Art is also a stunning addition to the literary annals of twentieth-century America.

Judiciary panel OKs immigration bill
The Senate Judiciary Committee gave final approval Tuesday to a sweeping immigration reform bill, setting up a debate on the Senate floor for early June.
Three Republicans joined 10 Democrats to support the bill, which would create a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants, invest billions in new border security measures and overhaul the legal immigration system.
Story Continued Below
The landmark legislation easily passed the Judiciary Committee, giving reform its best chance in six years on the Senate floor. Yet even if the bill clears the Senate, the GOP-controlled House isn't likely to take it up in its current form.
( PHOTOS: At a glance: The Senate immigration deal)
The vote came after the committee deliberated for five days and considered more than 200 amendments. But the Gang of Eight, which drafted the legislation, held together and fended off all but minor changes to the bill.
"This is a big step forward," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a leader of the Gang. "We got a good vote in committee, we expanded our little group to another vote, and the feeling is very strong here. I think we gained some momentum today. I really do."
Schumer and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) told reporters that they remained hopeful that the bill could pick up 70 votes on the Senate floor.
"I think it's possible," said Flake, another Gang member. "We got a lot of hard work to do. A lot of hard work."
The committee room, which was packed with reform proponents, erupted in applause and cheers of "Yes, we can" after the final vote. Democratic senators posed for pictures with supporters and received a succession of high fives and hugs.
President Barack Obama issued a statement congratulating the committee and urging the Senate to take up the bill "at the earliest possible opportunity."
( Also on POLITICO: House immigration talks hang on health care)
"The process for considering this legislation has been open and inclusive with multiple hearings, and more than a hundred amendments were considered and adopted, in many cases with bipartisan support," Obama said. "None of the Committee members got everything they wanted, and neither did I , but in the end, we all owe it to the American people to get the best possible result over the finish line."
Senate leaders hope to begin considering the bill following the Memorial Day recess in June. That prospect got a boost on Tuesday when Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he would not block debate from starting on the floor.
House leaders want their members to put forward their own version of immigration reform, which will be more conservative than the Senate bill. A bipartisan group of House negotiators announced an agreement last week on reform principles, but the lawmakers are struggling to finalize the deal.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is broadening the criteria it will use in evaluating clemency petitions from certain federal prisoners and expects the changes to result in thousands of new applications, Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday.
The new criteria, which will be detailed later this week and are aimed at inmates serving time for nonviolent drug offenses, are intended to lead to a reduction in the nation's federal prison population and also "ensure that those who have paid their debts have a chance to become productive citizens," Holder said in a video message.
The announcement is part of an ongoing Obama administration push to re-evaluate sentences for drug crimes that officials believe were unduly harsh and were imposed under old federal guidelines that treated convictions for crack cocaine offenses more punitively than those involving the powder form of the drug.
In December, for instance, President Barack Obama commuted the sentences of eight drug prisoners — including six who were serving life sentences — and the Justice Department in January publicly encouraged defense lawyers from around the country to help low-level, nonviolent drug offenders prepare petitions for clemency.
The Justice Department evaluates clemency applications for the president's review, taking into account factors such as the seriousness of the crime, the person's acceptance of responsibility and behavior since the conviction and any input from the prosecutors who handled the case. Historically, the overwhelming majority of requests for pardons and sentence commutations are not granted, a trend that has continued in the Obama administration.
But with the use of new criteria in deciding when to recommend a clemency petition to the president, the Justice Department expects to receive thousands of new applications and may assign dozens of lawyers to handle those applications, Holder said.
"The White House has indicated it wants to consider additional clemency applications, to restore a degree of justice, fairness, and proportionality for deserving individuals who do not pose a threat to public safety. The Justice Department is committed to recommending as many qualified applicants as possible for reduced sentences," Holder said.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday that the number of commutations granted depend on the number of worthy candidates.
"And in terms of how many deserving candidates are out there, I couldn't begin to speculate," he said.
Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, said he was heartened by the push to increase the number of clemency applications after years of what he described as relative inactivity on that front.
"What you see is some focused attention on the part of the administration to deal with this in a serious way," he said.

New North Carolina sales taxes that went into effect Jan. 1 may make it slightly more expensive to keep up on current events, get a meal in a university cafeteria, be entertained, or purchase a mobile home.
NOTE: Story updated to reflect correction that haircuts are not affected by the new law.
New North Carolina sales taxes that went into effect Jan. 1 may make it slightly more expensive to keep up on current events, get a meal in a university cafeteria, be entertained, or purchase a mobile home.
The state imposed a sales tax this year on many services, including newspapers, admission to entertainment venues, purchasing a mobile or manufactured home and on food sold in college cafeterias.
In January 2013, Republican lawmakers outlined a proposal to revamp the state�s tax system by shifting the tax burden in North Carolina to more of a consumption sales tax in an effort to one day do away with personal and corporate income taxes.
According to the N.C. Department of Revenue, last fiscal year the state collected $5.894 billion in sales tax revenue and $11.405 billion in corporate and individual income taxes.
Starting Jan. 1, the state�s 4.75 percent sale tax was imposed on newspapers sold by street vendors and carriers; and 4.75 percent sales tax on 50 percent of the price of a newspaper bought from a coin operated vending machine, according to the N.C. Department of Revenue.
The newspaper sales tax means some Sun Journal subscribers now will have to pay more than a dollar more per month.
Vernon DeBolt, publisher of the Sun Journal, said it was hard to address the exact increases because there were different rates for subscriptions.
�Newspapers have enjoyed that exception for a long time,� DeBolt said about sales tax. �Unfortunately, it has been repealed.�
The state also is imposing a 4.75 percent sales tax for admission charges to a live performance. That includes motion pictures or films, museums, cultural sites, gardens, exhibits, shows, similar attractions or a guided tour at any of those attractions.
Exemptions to the entertainment sales tax are school-sponsored events at elementary and secondary schools; a commercial agricultural fair that meets state requirements; a festival or other recreational or entertainment activity that lasts no more than seven consecutive days and is sponsored by a nonprofit that is exempt from tax and uses the proceeds for nonprofit purposes; a youth athletic contest sponsored by a nonprofit; and a state attraction supported by state funds that offers cultural, educational, historical or recreational opportunities.
Tammie Sessoms, manager of Neuse Boulevard Cinema, said the rise in sales taxes for entertainment should not affect ticket prices or the theater. It would, however, affect the film companies that rent movies to the theater, she said.
�Unless the film companies decide to go up on rental fees, it should not affect us,� she said. �But if they do, it could affect the price of tickets.�
Last fiscal year, the state collected $5,984,311,036 in sales taxes from statewide sales of $105,367,312,381. That included $40,937,067 from Craven County�s sales taxable sales of $859,023,029, according to N.C. Department of Revenue records.
Richard Hemphill, Craven County finance director, said the numbers for Craven County seemed high, but it might have taken into account all the municipalities in the county.
Craven County�s general fund was increased by $13,594,555 last fiscal year by sales taxes. Of that, $13,055,998 went to the county and the remainder went to volunteer fire departments, Hemphill said.
The state�s 17.5 cent per gallon gasoline tax also generated $1,569,621,820 in revenue from the sale of 4,316,338,923 gallons of gasoline sold during the 2013 fiscal year, accord to figures from the Department of Revenue.
The state also collected $10,272,136,381 last fiscal year in individual income taxes and total tax revenue of $18,463,093,503 for everything from estate taxes to scrap tire disposal taxes, gift taxes, corporate income taxes, piped natural gas taxes to intangibles and miscellaneous taxes.
The only five states that do not levy a sales tax are Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon.

Media: GOP must expand base
With Mitt Romney's loss to President Barack Obama, the Republican Party has been forced to come to terms with an inconvenient truth: they can no longer rely on a white majority.
That reality, long acknowledged by forward-thinking GOP strategists but downplayed by many conservative media outlets, finally became a central topic of discussion on the channel most famous for championing conservative causes: Fox News.
Story Continued Below
"The white establishment is now the minority," Bill O'Reilly, one of the network's most famous personalities, said earlier this evening. "The demographics are changing: It's not a traditional America anymore."
Minutes later, former Gov. Mike Huckabee would slam his own party for failing to reach out to non-white voters.
"I think Republicans have done a pathetic job of reaching out to people of color," Huckabee said during an appearance on Fox. "That's something we've got to work on. It's a group of people that frankly should be with us based on the real policy of conservatism."
The need to expand its base beyond white voters is hardly news to forward-thinking GOP strategists. The share of white voters has shrunk in every election: from 87 percent in 1992 to 83 percent in 1996 to 80 percent in 2000 to 77 percent in 2004 to 74 percent in 2008.
But in addressing — and lamenting — the issue head-on tonight, Fox News put that reality front and center before the nation's conservatives. Now, in the wake of the election, the Republican party, Fox News, and the nation look set for a long conversation about the party's relationship with non-white voters.
The GOP's struggle to court the Latino demographic was also a topic across television networks tonight.
The "story of this election is demographics," NBC's Chuck Todd said. The Obama campaign "built a campaign for 21st century America. The Republican Party has some serious soul searching to do."
"They are getting clobbered among non-white voters," he said.
"I think what's happened is the Republicans have bet on winning elections on a dwindling share of the population, which is white males, and Democrats have put a bet on the fastest increasing center of population, which is Latino voters," ABC News contributor Matthew Dowd said.
Conservative columnist George Will, also an ABC News contributor, acknowledged the party's shortcoming as well.
"[Romney] came out against the DREAM Act, promising to veto it, and a few months after that he was using the language of 'self-deportation,' that is making life difficult enough for the 11 million illegal immigrants in the country that they would deport themselves," he said. "It's awfully hard to unring that bell."
Huckabee was confident that Republicans could get more Latino votes if they made a greater effort.

Suppose I have a function f : A → B between two sets A and B. (The same question applies to group homomorphisms, continuous maps between topological spaces, etc. But for simpicity let's restrict ourselves to the case of arbitrary maps between sets.)
If I have subset A' ⊆ A of the domain A, then I can restrict f to A'. There is the function f|A' : A' → B which is given by f|A'(a) = f(a) for all a ∈ A'.
Suppose now that I have subset B' ⊆ B of the codomain B that contains the image of the map f. Similarly I can restrict f to B', meaning that there is a function g : A → B' which is given by g(a) = f(a) for all a ∈ A.
In general, it might be useful to consider such functions g and have a name for them, for example if I have a function B' → C that I want to apply afterwards. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a name or symbol for this function g in literature.
Is there notation for the restriction g of f to a subset of the codomain similar to the notation f|A' for a restriction to a subset of the domain?

Man catches massive 13-foot-long hammerhead shark in Texas
A Texas fisherman caught a giant hammerhead shark off the coast of Padre Island
A Texas fisherman caught a giant hammerhead shark off the coast of Padre Island
A Texas fisherman caught a giant hammerhead shark off the coast of Padre Island.
Eric Ozolins posted photos of the catch of a lifetime earlier this month, a massive grey great hammerhead shark. The creature measured 13 feet long, and had a girth of 80 inches.
"It was caught on Padre Island, and an hour and 15 minute fight on an 80W with a hammered drag," Ozolins said in his Facebook post.
He also said someone previously leaked information regarding his catch, so he wanted to clear the air and stop rumors from spreading around about it.
Ozolins also said he will be posting a release video soon once he's ready to do so.
According to his Facebook, Ozolins studied fishing at the Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi.
He's a great shark fisherman," said Padre Island National Seashore education coordinator William "Buzz" Botts.
Botts said greater hammerheads commonly show up in the waters in the gulf, with Ozolins' catch being on the larger side of the sharks.
"Thirteen (feet) is about as big as they get," Botts said in an interview with mySA.com.
One of the difficulties with hammerhead sharks is that they have a low tolerance to stress, Botts said, with many of them dying after being brought to shore by fisherman. If they are released quickly, they tend to survive the ordeal, Botts said.
They are documented as being involved in some human fatalities, but many times they are attracted to traditional food such as stingrays.

Brian mentioned the WWRY tour coming to the US with a NYC sit down.
We are also finally pressing the button on that USA WWRY tour! Amazing. It will sit down in NYC for a while too!

Their Royal Majesties did not make an appearance, but it was great nevertheless. I went up to the stage for the last three tracks and it felt like a rock concert.
Overall, I think the Bulgarian audience really enjoyed the show and I hope the cast and band enjoyed performing for this audience.
I've been waiting to see the Musical for 11 years. It completely met all of my expectations.
P.S. There was a joke written especially for the Bulgarian audience. It was greatly appreciated by everyone I talked to.
