Call for international solidarity with human rights in Sudan online and offline
On Wednesday 4 May 2016, Sudan will undergo a formal review by the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) in Geneva. Sudanese human rights defenders and international civil society are urging all all concerned actors to hold the government of Sudan accountable for ongoing human rights violations.

What do the treaties say?
UNDHR article 12
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation.
What do the treaties say?
UDHR article 20
Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
No one may be compelled to belong to an association.
ICCPR article 21
The right of peaceful assembly shall be recognized.
What is APC doing?
First up, we rallied support for the Panel by making joint statements and writing to governments and encouraging other NGOs to support it as well.
Now that the HRC has voted to go ahead with a panel, we will try to work closely with the Swedish government on the terms of reference, to suggest experts, share our research and mobilise engagement as part of the Connect Your Rights! Campaign.
Are there any risks?
Yes! The panel outcomes may be weak if the "experts" are not of high quality or there is weak or ill-informed engagement on the issues, or the sponsoring State does not co-ordinate the process well.
How does the panel work?
There is no set procedure for Panels. Generally, it is up to the leading sponsor State to coordinate the identification of panelists and the general concept note of the meeting. A panel consists of a 3 hour formal UN debate – usually introduced by 4-5 experts in the field and high level personalities. States and some NGOs respond to that with their political statements.
Why have a panel?
A Panel is often seen as the softest, risk-free step that the Council can take on an issue. Sometimes these kinds of panels are criticized because of that – too weak an option, not really doing anything, delay tactic etc. On the other hand it is a good entry point for a new issue and it's safe in the sense that there is no automatic follow up.
What do the treaties say?
While the UDHR calls for equal rights for men and women, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, CEDAW from 1981 is considered the main treaty regarding women's rights.
CEDAW article 1
For the purposes of the present Convention, the term "discrimination against women" shall mean any distinction, exclusion or

Apple Takes More of World From RIM
record iPhone sales during its recent fiscal second-quarter, with shipments leaping a massive 113%, accounting for half of the firm's total revenue of $24.7 billion. RIM, on the other hand, is rapidly losing share to Apple and Android. Investors are also dismayed by the fact that new superphones running the company's hyped QNX software won't hit the market until 2012.Set against this backdrop, RIM has seen its stock slip almost 40% this year. Apple has also slashed the gap on smartphone leader Nokia, according to tech research firm IDC. With 24.2 million smartphones shipped during the first quarter, Nokia remains at the head of the smartphone pack, although IDC recently reported that Apple is hot on the heels of the Finnish firm, recording record single-quarter shipments of 18.7 million devices Nokia, for its part, is losing business during a major overhaul of its phones to operate on Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Phone 7 software. --Written by James Rogers in New York. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/jamesjrogers. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com numbers are certainly compelling.

Former Shaw's Tavern GM Opening Restaurant in Mount Vernon Triangle
Former Shaw's Tavern general manager Reza Akhavan has plans to open an upscale casual restaurant focused on local, seasonal ingredients at 917 5th St. NW this March.
Although a liquor license notice lists the restaurant's name as Success (as reported earlier by Prince of Petworth), Akhavan says that is not the name; he hasn't decided what to call the eatery yet. He also does not have a chef or menu worked out, but he says the food will have European and Mediterranean influences.
"I really want to focus on local farms and fresh ingredients and have a healthier menu," Akhavan tells Y&H. "Not because it's the trend, but because it's what I like."
Akhavan envisions a relatively small menu with half a dozen appetizers, five to six entrees, and some bar snacks. The price point for entrees will likely be between $17 and $25. There will also be 12 taps for beer plus wine and cocktails.
The 85-seat spot (including bar seating) will have a simple "industrial" interior design. Further down the line, Akhavan hopes to open a roof deck.

To the untrained eye a cotton crop may not look very special, but local growers say one is, simply because it's in good health after a somewhat uncertain start.
Mickey Fourakers, Farming Extension Agent, says, "We started off a little dry, then we got a little wet. Quiet frankly, I'm surprised the cotton crop looks as good as it does. We still have great potential. Thank goodness we didn't fertilize with nitrogen before the rains came."
Now the nitrogen can be added to the cotton crops without being washed away by severe storms.
Local cotton farmers say if you walk out into the fields you'll notice the plants are looking very good for this time of year, and they say that's a great sign because the total number of cotton crops are down, making it more important they bring a better result.
Local bankers like Tim Jones say they're glad to see a positive outlook for this important crop.
Tim Jones of Heritage Community Bank says, "As a banker, we just know that yields are good, prices are good, and we're glad that this year the rains came at the right time, so I think everyone is crossing their fingers."
Fourakers says, "From here on out we'll be checking for insects, doing our insect control program. We'll also be doing our growth management program."
It's all in an effort to turn this promising crop into a great harvest that pumps millions into the region's economy.

In the second level, there is a part near the beginning where there is a 360 rotating gun turret and a forklift, both which you can operate. Using the forklift, find an enemy to come out into the "arena". When they come out and start firing at you, don't shoot your forklift gun. Hold shift and drive right at them. If your fast enough and do it right, you'll run right over the enemy, squashing/crushing him!

Staff Picks
The Parking Lot Movie
Director Meghan Eckman's irreverently funny debut celebrates a brotherhood of eccentric attendants who man a unique parking lot in Charlottesville, Virginia. From grad students to middle-age slackers, indie-rock musicians to surly philosophers, these overeducated part-timers wax profoundly about car culture and capitalism, seek vengeance against entitled patrons and thieves, and make fun of drunken jerks. If the intersection between the status quo and the quest for freedom is their ultimate challenge, could a slab of asphalt be an emotional way station for The American Dream.Read More »
I am an Executioner
An explosive, funny, wildly original fiction debut: nine stories about the power of love and the love of power, two urgent human desires that inevitably, and sometimes calamitously, intertwine. In I Am an Executioner, Rajesh Parameswaran introduces us to a cast of heroes—and antiheroes—who spring from his riotous, singular imagination. At once glittering and savage, daring and elegant, here are wholly unforgettable tales where reality loops in Borgesian twists and shines with cinematic exuberance, by an author who promises to dazzle the universe of American fiction.

Psychocandy was released in 1985, and marks the debut album for The Jesus and Mary Chain. The biggest influences for the Jesus and Mary Chain were punk legends The Velvet Underground and The Stooges, and also pop legends Phil Spector and Brian Wilson. The resulting sound is dark and bare, but ladened with sugary melodies. On Psychocandy, they implement just one style, one trick if you will, but oh man it is a great one. The feedback is turned up as high as it goes, and the echo is plentiful. With this album, The Jesus and Mary Chain caused a movement in shoegazer and britpop, as more and more bands began to use the echo sound that is so perfect on this album.Read More »
Bobos in Paradise
Do you work for one of those visionary software companies where people come to work wearing hiking boots and glacier glasses, as if a wall of ice were about to come sliding through the parking lot? If so, you might be a Bobo. In his bestselling work of "comic sociology," David Brooks coins a new word, Bobo, to describe today's upper class -- those who have wed the bourgeois world of capitalist enterprise to the hippie values of the bohemian counterculture. Their hybrid lifestyle is the atmosphere we breathe, and in this witty and serious look at the cultural consequences of the information age, Brooks has defined a new generation.Read More »
I Will Be
The gum-smacking gutter pop of Dum Dum Girls' full-length debut I Will Be is a rough-edged cinderblock that's been blasted off of Phil Spector's sweepingly dramatic "Wall Of Sound" productions of the early '60s. The state-of-the-art grandness of those pre-Beatles girl-group hits has been scuffed up and shattered, but the feisty attitude and relentlessly catchy hooks remain as indestructible as ever... I Will Be always sounds erratically adolescent in the best possible sense.Read More »
Year of Wonders
When an infected bolt of cloth carries plague from London to an isolated village, a housemaid named Anna Frith emerges as an unlikely heroine and healer. Through Anna's eyes we follow the story of the fateful year of 1666, as she and her fellow villagers confront the spread of disease and superstition. As she struggles to survive and grow, a year of catastrophe becomes instead annus mirabilis, a "year of wonders."
If You're Feeling Sinister
Whimsy and preciousness are an integral part of If You're Feeling Sinister, along with clever wit and gentle, intricate arrangements -- a wonderful blend of the Smiths and Simon & Garfunkel, to be reductive. Even if it's firmly within the college, bed-sit tradition, and is unabashedly retrogressive, that gives Sinister a special, timeless character that's enhanced by Stuart Murdoch's wonderful, lively songwriting. Blessed with an impish sense of humor, a sly turn of phrase, and an alluringly fey voice, he gives this record a real sense of backbone, in that its humor is far more biting than the music appears and the music is far more substantial that it initially seems. Sinister plays like a great forgotten album, couched in '80s indie, '90s attitude, and '60s folk-pop.Read More »
Republic, Lost : How Money Corrupts Congress--and a Plan to Stop It
In an era when special interests funnel huge amounts of money into our government-driven by shifts in campaign, trust in our government has reached an all-time low. More than ever before, Americans believe that money buys results in Congress, and that business interests wield control over our legislature. With heartfelt urgency and a keen desire for righting wrongs, Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig takes a clear-eyed look at how we arrived at this crisis: how fundamentally good people, with good intentions, have allowed our democracy to be co-opted by outside interests, and how this exploitation has become entrenched in the system.Read More »
Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is the follow up to the John Hughes inspired and critics' favorite Saturdays=Youth. Pitchfork called it, "An unaccountably alive, complete album", giving it an 8.5 rating while, The New York Times, said "The music recalls the pumping beats and keyboard hooks of the 1980's as if through a haze of time, floating in lush echoes that round off the edges."
The Leopard by Jo Nesbo
At the end of his previous thriller, The Snowman, Jo Nesbo's Inspector Harry Hole was a ravaged mess. At the start of The Leopard, we find Hole hiding away from the world, smoking opium in the squalor of Hong Kong's back alleys. A pretty young police officer drags him reluctantly back to Norway to pursue another serial killer, this one more twisted and vicious than the Snowman. Despite some far-fetched scenes, Hole is a damaged, soulful, and believable character. And Nesbo is proving to be a major talent, an eloquent writer who,, with the end of Steig Larsson's trilogy and the retirement of Henning Mankell's brooding detective Kurt Wallander, seems poised to become heir to the title "King of the Nordic thriller."Read More »
LiLiPUT/Kleenex: The Complete Recordings
You can't dispute Liliput's status as pioneers of feminist art-punk. Along with fellow travelers like the Slits and the Raincoats, this (mostly) female Swiss group took advantage of punk's anything-goes attitude and created jittery, spirited pop that was both in step with the times and completely singular. But even if Liliput hadn't paved the way for other guitar-wielding patriarchy-smashers, The Complete Recordings would still prove one thing: They were totally fun. For art-punk historians and adventurous pop fans, The Complete Recordings is as entertaining as it is essential.Read More »

5 Heavily-Shorted Stocks About to Report Earnings
>>Outwit the S&P in 2013 With 5 Hated Stocks With that in mind, here's a look at several stocks that could experience big short squeezes when they report earnings this week.Research In Motion My first earnings short-squeeze play is Research In Motion (RIMM), which is set to release numbers on Thursday after the market close. This company designs, manufactures, and markets wireless solutions for the mobile communications market worldwide. It provides platforms and solutions for access to information, including email, voice, instant messaging. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Research In Motion to report revenue of $2.65 billion on a loss of 35 cents per share. If you're looking for a heavily-shorted stock that's been uptrending very strong heading into its earnings report, then make sure to check out shares of Research In Motion. This stock has been on fire during the last three months, with shares soaring by over 80%. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Research In Motion is extremely high at 24.3%. That means that out of the 486.37 million shares in the tradable float, 113.69 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 9.1%, or by about 9.49 million shares. If the bears are caught pressing their bets too hard into this quarter, then we could easily see a monster short-squeeze develop for shares of RIMM. From a technical perspective, RIMM is currently trending above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last three months, with shares soaring from a low of $6.22 to a recent high of $14.21 a share. During that uptrend, shares of RIMM have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish price action. That move has now pushed RIMM within range of triggering a major breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on RIMM, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some key overhead resistance levels at $14.21 to $14.99 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 34,476,100 shares. If that breakout triggers, then RIMM will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $17.96 to $19.95 a share.

LET THERE be light.
On a velvety night, Hindu devotees float an oil lamp during evening rituals on India's Ganges River. They pray and bathe in the shallows of the sacred river as it flows through the city of Allahabad, a major Hindu pilgrimage center.
The faithful come daily to the Ganges to wash away their sins (although the water itself is severely polluted, with authorities continually struggling to clean up the river).
Earlier this year, tens of millions of pilgrims flooded into Allahabad, where other rivers converge with the Ganges, for Maha Kumbh Mela. One of the biggest religious festivals in the world, it's held once every 12 years in Allahabad. Amid the festival's 55 days of prayers, wandering holy men and mass ritual bathing came a day of tragedy when a panicked stampede at the city's jampacked train station killed about three dozen people.

Rock stars are not known for their monogamous ways, God bless 'em. They're rich, famous and usually attractive, even if it's just on some animal level. Like Lemmy--fug face, great musician. Who could begrudge him a wart-licking groupie? However, there are some guys that just make you wonder--is fame really so much of an aphrodisiac that it can make a woman overlook both looks and lack of talent? I mean, Adam Duritz, of the unlistenable Counting Crows consistently has beautiful famous girlfriends. (He must be hung like a Redwood is all I can figure.) Another one more appalling than appealing, was Mick Hucknall of Simply Red. Ugly guy, shitty band, yet somehow he managed to convince babes like Helena Christensen, Catherine Zeta Jones, and, shockingly, about 1,000 other women to do the faux-soul shuffle with him. And now, happily married with a child, he wants to apologize to these ladies.
UPDATE: The Guardian issued an apology to Mick Hucknall today--apparently they underreported his actual fuckery. It was 1,000 women a year for three years. Not 1,000 women total. I'm going to go thank my vagina for not going there.In an interview with the Guardian, Hucknall says all that fucking around was like an addiction."When I had the fame, it went crazy," he tells the paper. "Between 1985 - 1987, I would sleep with about three women a day, every day. I never said no. This was what I wanted from being a pop star. I was living the dream and my only regret is that I hurt some really good girls."
It would appear that Hucknall has gone through a bout of therapy and possibly a 12-step program to bring him to this epiphany, blaming his frantic fuckery on (of course) his mother. "I regret the philandering . . . In fact, can I issue a public apology through the Guardian? They know who they are, and I'm truly sorry."
While I hate to begrudge anyone their 9th Step, what I hate more is fielding out-of-the-blue phone calls from the newly sober, seeking absolution for extreme dickery committed years prior. I can hold a grudge like it has a handle, but these dudes inevitably catch me off-guard (and yes, it's happened a few times) and I wind up being pleasant about it and then later annoyed I didn't make them sweat more.
Have you ever gotten one of these calls? Most people I know have and have had a simliar reaction to mine--too little, too late.
All these ambush apologies do is bring up unpleasant memories and while maybe it's "closure" for the person doing the groveling, it can be irritating for the person on the receiving end. But, hey, at least these people are brave enough to pick up the phone or even email you personally. Issuing a blanket apology through a newspaper? Sorry, Mick. I'm no 12-step expert, but that doesn't count.

Phil Appleton, Silverton, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, unfurls the units battle streamers during a transfer of authority ceremony at Joint Base Balad Aug. 25. PAT CALDWELL photo
JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq — The 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry Regiment closed the book on a year-long deployment in Iraq Thursday during a Transfer of Authority ceremony at Joint Base Balad.The final, official act of the Eastern Oregon battalion played out in a crowded Morale and Welfare Room at the big American base in central Iraq. The commander of the 3rd Battalion, Lt. Col. Phil Appleton of Silverton, and the unit's senior enlisted adviser, Command Sgt. Maj., Bill Wyllie of John Day, rolled up the bright yellow 116th Regimental guidon. Then Wyllie pulled a dark green jacket over the flag to officially "case" the colors. The quick act concluded more than a year of training, preparation and combat for the Oregon Guard unit. As soon as the 3rd Battalion's colors were covered, the leaders of the 1st Battalion, 149th Infantry, Kentucky Army National Guard, unfurled their unit's flag to officially take over the Oregon unit's convoy escort mission.
"It is a good thing we are done and the soldiers are ready to go home," Appleton said.
The 3rd Battalion was mobilized for duty in Iraq in September 2010. After mobilization, the unit traveled to Camp Shelby, Miss., where it trained for more than six weeks before deploying to central Iraq. The battalion stepped into a high-profile mission to protect logistical convoys across central and northern Iraq.
A single-minded effort to hone fundamentals proved to be critical for success, Appleton said during his speech at the ceremony.
"We focused on the basics, we developed and mentored leaders and instilled in our unit a sense of humble pride and confidence," he said.
Appleton also talked about the 3rd Battalion's unique actions during its nine-month-long tour of duty in Iraq.
"The battalion accomplished many things over these last nine months. I want to express my gratitude and thanks to our unit's leaders and our troopers on an exceptional job they have done," he said.
The 3rd Battalion completed more than 1,800 convoy security missions and traveled more than 1.2 million miles of Iraqi roadways during its tour. The battalion also tangled with insurgent roadside bombs. The 3rd Battalion suffered more than 50 roadside bomb attacks during its nine-month stint. The enemy activity, though, did not hinder the battalion from success, Appleton said.
"Our battalion's troopers have taken their lumps. They kept moving, maintained their discipline and accomplished the mission with tenacity and absolute professionalism," Appleton said.
Staff Sgt. Kevin Scott, 46, a Carlton resident and a convoy escort team commander from the 3rd Battalion's Alpha Company, attended the final ceremony Thursday. Scott, who previously served in Iraq in an infantry unit, said the danger level ebbed and flowed during the 3rd Battalion's deployment.
"January was a pretty high spike for IEDs," he said. "It got to the point in January where I expected to get hit."
Scott said one major advantage 3rd Battalion soldiers secured was the type of equipment they used. The Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected armored vehicle his convoy escort team used was a game-changer.
"I always told the guys that the truck will do the job and it did," he said.
After the ceremony Scott reflected on the fact his convoy escort team was done driving the roads of Iraq and, more importantly, safe.
"When I could put my (convoy escort team) into their transient housing and know they were not going out again then I kind of feel like I did my job because they were going home in one piece," he said.

That's great , too bad you don't play otherwise you could have scored a sweet gig.
For the first year I had it, I used to get prison collect calls on my mobile phone ~ I was tempted to answer just to see who it was calling, but I never did since this is probably the most expensive form of communication ever invented, like $19/minute or something crazy like that.
I thought you couldn't call collect to a mobile phone, how would it get billed? Ya I would have totally answered!
My mom had people calling for a man named Raymond all the time at her house... Raymond had a lot of friends! They tried to call him for over 6 yrs!
I got a land line about 6 months ago. I get calls all the time asking for Kimberly, which is also my first name. The first one I got for her was from a hospital where she owed over $10,000. That had me scared until we both figured out that I was not the correct Kimberly, especially since the last time I was at a hospital was several years ago with my insurance company paying all of the bill except the $100 co-pay which I paid while I was there. Now, I know to ask "Kimberly who?".

The ridiculously long title is deliberate. This is rich…
I recently started following this blog called The Peaceful Wife, which is all about how wives are to be submissive to their husbands as is mentioned several places in the Bible.
What? Me, read a blog on wifely submission? I know… unbelievable. Well, not only am I reading it, but I'm greatly enjoying it.
Are you over your shock now? Good. Now we can move on.
On this blog, there is a powerful post written by a married man about the impact of a wife's words on her husband's very soul. He's offering some advice to a wife who simply can't get her husband to do what she wants him to do despite her nagging, complaining and yelling. Here is the part that really stuck out to me:
What you are not seeing is the kind of emotional violence you may be doing to your husband. You may feel completely justified in what you want, but bludgeoning him with scolding and shaming is neither loving nor respectful.
Let's also realize an uncomfortable but truthful reality. Your husband is probably bigger and stronger than you. Do you notice that he does not use that physical superiority to control you? Some men do. Most women have zero chance in a physical altercation with a man. But on the flipside, women have the power to bludgeon with words in a way that many men do not.
So, in some households, the women are swinging away with their verbal and emotional fists, while their husband locks himself up, suffering the evil of being abused, and having no way to respond without being called an abuser himself. This one-sided dynamic pervades our society, where a screaming, yelling woman is perceived to be venting a legitimate grievance, but the same behavior from a man is "abuse".
His last sentence says it all. Our society recognizes that a man in a rage yelling at his wife and throwing things around, even if he never physically strikes her, is a very scary thing to a woman, and so considers it abuse, and rightly so. What society at large fails to recognize is that a woman doing the same thing to her husband is just as damaging to him; it's just that the damage takes a different form. It's still devastating, though. Instead, our society views a woman on that kind of rampage as a "kick-ass" woman who's not taking any crap from anyone, especially not her man. She's telling it like it is, an inspiration to oppressed women everywhere to rise up and let our voices be heard.
Besides the collateral damage done to the man in the situation, the problem with this view is that a woman who does this is not coming from any kind of position of strength, power, or even dignity. Powerful people do not rage. Rage is something people do because they feel helpless. Expressing it like that does nothing to resolve the real reason for the helplessness. Going back to the collateral damage this behavior causes the husband, our society barely even recognizes that for what it is. If society did recognize it for what it is, not only would there be laws against it (which there might be) but there would be this universal recognition that this too is abuse–the same way wife-beating is universally recognized as abuse–and plenty of social pressure against it. By not recognizing it as abuse, society has given women, particularly of the raging, already helpless-feeling variety, the loud and clear message that their words and demeanor are meaningless and have no impact on anyone. Therefore they can whine, yell, and otherwise vent all they want because it doesn't matter.
Um… thanks… for nothing!
I don't want to knock all aspects of feminism here (beyond the scope of this post), but one prominent feature of modern feminism is a continued encouragement for women to throw off the shackles of marriage, to go through life not needing a man and saying so (even to the man she's dating). If she gets married it's because she chooses to, not needs to, and she's supposed to insist on a relationship where everything is equal–if there must be an imbalance of power then preferably it's in her favor, not his. She's definitely not going to submit to her husband! Why, that would be going back to whatever time period it was in which she believes all women were dominated by the tyranny of marriage, where sadistic and egotistical men locked their wives up in pretty castles, and beat them with sticks just for good measure.
The end result? Lots of divorce and lots of unhappy marriages. Lots of young people refusing to even go there. Lots of women feeling more helpless, more dominated, and more powerless than ever before, especially in their most intimate relationships.
But there's hope, according to Laura Doyle, author of The Surrendered Wife and renowned relationship coach and expert. No matter how bleak your marriage may look, you, as the wife, have the power to rescue it from the brink of divorce by doing some very basic things and refraining from doing some other things. For example, when your husband does something nice for you, thank him. Like wow! Revolutionary! Saying thank you when you receive a gift? Who knew? How about this one: When he does something stupid, don't pile on. Don't you know the poor man feels bad enough already? Laura Doyle says there is no respectful way to tell a man he screwed up, so you don't. Here's another one, more controversial: Don't try to instruct him or correct him. As a woman I really dislike being given unsolicited advice, but I'm gathering that for a man that is a serious blow to his sense of competence. It's definitely something he perceives as disrespect. So, don't do it. Laura Doyle even goes so far as to say the husband, not the wife, needs to be in charge of the family finances.
Other bits of wisdom for great intimacy in marriage? Respect his choices (especially of socks and stocks). Let him make his choices to begin with. If for some reason you can't go along with a decision he makes, simply tell him you can't, but first check if it's really a matter of conscience or simply a matter of personal preference. Tell him what you want, but as an end result and definitely not with instructions for how to give it to you. Take care of yourself, and let him do things for you like hold your purse or open the door (then say thank you). Let him spoil you. Deep down, that's what he really wants to do anyway, and he will, as soon as he can harness the energy formerly spent on protecting himself from critical and wounding words.
I've summarized a lot, but it's all in her book, on her website, and in her various intimacy training workshops.
But one big important truth in everything she recommends (minus parts I don't agree with–see previous post) is that as women we have unbelievable power over our husbands and in our marriages, which we need to use wisely. Most of our power lies in our words and demeanor. We can use our power to build up our husbands and have a great marriage. We can also use it to destroy our husbands and our marriages. Laura Doyle has figured out a way to teach thousands of women how to use their power for the good of their marriages.
Another way to summarize what she has taught? The proper submission of wives to their husbands, Bible style. Really. Laura Doyle calls the process surrendering and then living as a surrendered wife, but it's the same basic concept.
I'm not going to try to prove this–The Peaceful Wife blog has that covered pretty well. I do want to say, though, that the Bible does recognize the immense power women have. Here is just one example:
Proverbs 14:1 A wise woman builds her house, but the foolish tears it down with her own hands.
This, written during a time and in a society where the physical building and tearing down of buildings was exclusively the domain of men (similar to how it is today–not too many women in construction that I know of). And yet it talks about a woman having the power to either build or tear down her house. She has that kind of power concerning her marriage too. I'll even go on a limb (though I'm not a Bible scholar or theologian) and say that the passage is really referring to her home life, including her marriage.
Here's another example:
Proverbs 21:9 It is better to live on the corner of a housetop than in a house shared with a contentious wife.
I read that should I choose to be contentious (argumentative) with my husband, I have the power to literally drive him out of the house. I also read that the wise man who wrote this proverb recognized and respected the destructive power of a contentious wife–to the point of writing that the husband would be better off exposed on the rooftop than staying inside with her. I believe many men still believe this, but they translate it with their behavior to look more like this: "It is better to zone out in front of the TV for hours on end than to engage with my wife who is constantly criticizing me, rolling her eyes, and telling me what to do."
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
This, of course, applies to everyone who can talk, but since it's an almost universally recognized truth that women are generally more verbally adept then men, it especially applies to us and the kind of power we have. The things we choose to say can kill and destroy, or they can breathe life.
Ladies, sisters… let us reject the lie that tells us we don't matter. We actually have an unbelievable amount of power. Let's use it wisely, for good and not evil.

Since Warner Bros. debunked those Batman casting assumptions earlier this week, things have been a little quiet on the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Dark Knight casting gossip front. But while all the major speculation has been about which actor will play the Caped Crusader, we have a tidbit concerning who could play Supes' arch nemesis.
According to certain sources, Breaking Bad's , might soon be playing a notorious villain with distinct similarities to Walter White! Just recently, Latino Review's El Mayimbe tweeted some intricate hints that Cranston might be joining the DC Universe as Lex Luthor, hinting that:
Actor for Lex is so painfully obvious/on the nose, u wouldn't believe me even if I told you. Hell, I don't believe it myself. Take a guess?— elmayimbe (@elmayimbe) August 8, 2013
FANBOY BLIND ITEM: Which superhot actor finishing final season of hit TV show who also was in 2 films for WB is up for juicy badguy part? :)— elmayimbe (@elmayimbe) August 8, 2013
In fact, this actor is in this studio's tentpole which comes out next summer. :)— elmayimbe (@elmayimbe) August 8, 2013
1 MORE THING FANBOY NATION DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE re: we don't have a script/haven't started casting yet, BULLSHIT! THEY HAVE AN OUTLINE! RT— elmayimbe (@elmayimbe) August 8, 2013
El Mayimbe has often nailed these superhero scoops in the past, so we'll see...
Cranston's last movie, Argo, was made by Warner Bros. and the thesp will also star in Warner Bros.' ' Godzilla remake next summer, so he clearly has a strong relationship with the studio.
How do you feel about the possibility of Cranston taking on Lex Luthor for Batman vs. Superman? Should Lex even appear in any of the new Superman movies. I mean, Superman apparently breaks people's necks now, so a person without super powers doesn't stand a chance... Right?

Faculty Emeriti Win SCGI Awards
The biggest congratulations to faculty emeriti Tom Prochaska and Christy Wyckoff who each received the SGCI Excellence in Teaching Printmaking Award when the annual conference was held in Portland in April. Both Matthew Letzelter, Chair of the MFA in Print Media and Abra Ancliffe, lead faculty Printmaking, presented at the occasion.
PNCA's printmaking studio has long been a collaborative and welcoming home for an expanded printmaking community. It frequently welcomes international artists and master printers from all over the country who come to collaborate on editions. Wyckoff and Prochaska are just two of the talented professors and instructors who work to bring this printmaking community together while helping young printmakers to explore and challenge themselves and the outer boundaries of printmaking in an incredibly supportive atmosphere.
After completing graduate school at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, a short teaching assignment at the University of Georgia, time living and working in Switzerland as an edition printer and serving at the Chair of Wesleyan College's Art Department for 3 years, Tom Prochaska moved to Oregon in 1978. Since then, Tom has co-founded 2 cooperative print studios in Portland: Inkling Studio (1980) and Atelier Mars (1990) and through these studios has worked as a collaborative and fine art printer. His present gallery affiliations are Froelick Gallery (Portland, OR) and Triangle Gallery (San Francisco, CA). In 1996 Tom received the last western states NEA grant in painting. His prints and paintings are in the collections of the High Museum of Art (Atlanta, GA), the Tacoma Art Museum, the Portland Art Museum and the New York Public Library.
Christy Wyckoff retired in 2012 as Professor Emeritus from his position as Chair of the Printmaking Department of the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland where he taught for 33 years. He completed undergraduate studies at the University of Oregon and an MFA in printmaking from the University of Washington. Wyckoff has shown his work nationally and internationally and is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, the Portland Art Museum, the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, and the Museu da Gravura Cidade de Curitiba, Brazil, among others. Wyckoff works in printmaking, drawing, painting and photography.

Faculty Members Receive RACC Fellowship Awards for Excellence in Visual Arts
Faculty members Ellen Lesperance and David Eckard have received 2015 Fellowship Awards from the Regional Arts and Culture Council (RACC). The award comes with a cash grant of $20,000.
RACC notes, "Ellen Lesperance creates art in various media but often employs the visual language of knitting, having once worked for Vogue Knitting as a pattern knitter. Her work is socially responsible and poignant yet inclusive – for example, she has created memorial paintings ("death shrouds") for young women activists who have died while fighting for "causes greater than themselves." The RACC Fellowship will help Lesperance take a semester off from teaching to commit solely to a full-time studio practice. She will also attend two residency programs: the MacDowell Colony, and the American Academy in Rome's Visiting Artist Program. She will also use some of the funds for materials for upcoming shows."
In 2014 Lesperance received an Art Matters and Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant; in 2012, she was awarded a Hallie Ford Fellowship; in 2010 she received The Betty Bowen Award and was a MacDowell Colony Artist-in-Residence.
And, "David Eckard was selected for a RACC Fellowship on the strength of his personal studio work, public performances and his dedication to the arts community both at PNCA and in his activism on behalf of artists. ... He will use fellowship funds (and take a sabbatical from PNCA) to research, design and begin implementing plans for a "creative compound" on his property, which will be populated with exhibitions, screenings, conferences, neighborhood events, workshops, residencies and mentoring opportunities."
Eckard, Lead Faculty in Sculpture, was awarded the Bonnie Bronson Fellowship for 2010, was one of the inaugural recipients of the Hallie Ford Fellowship in Visual Arts for 2010, and was a Juror's Award recipient at the 2006 Oregon Biennial.
PNCA celebrates these accomplished artists, their works and achievements, as well as their contributions to the PNCA community.

A jury of professional peers, including illustrators and art directors, selects the most outstanding works created throughout the year. Pieces are accepted based on the quality of technique, concept, and skill of medium used. From the Society's endowment, and through generous contributions from private and corporate donors, scholarship awards are granted to about 25 students. In the last 30 years, the Society has awarded over $1,500,000 to deserving students in this unique competition.
Scholarship awards will be announced in the coming weeks, with the opening reception taking place at the Gallery of American Illustration in NYC in May. The show will be on display through the beginning of June.
Alum Criss Moss new Director of U of O White Box Gallery
PNCA alumnus Cris Moss '99 has been appointed Director of White Box gallery programs at the Portland location of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at University of Oregon. Associate Dean and Director of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, Kate Wagle, says, "We look forward to seeing his experience, leadership and vision build on the established reputation of White Box as a laboratory for speculation and experiment in art, architecture and design. With his direction,White Box will continue to evolve and grow as a premier Northwest art venue, and as an important research and outreach location for the University of Oregon and the School of Architecture and Allied Arts."
Cris Moss received an MFA from New York University in 2003 and has been curating "with an entrepreneurial spirit" since 2000, including creation of the Donut Shop, a rotating gallery space that defined the leading edge of a Portland DIY gallery movement, and curating the multi-venue Portland 2010 Biennial (for which White Box was one site).

At Linfield Moss taught courses ranging from studio foundations, to digital video and photography, gallery management and curatorial practice. Other teaching and review experience includes Clark College, Maine College of Art, and Pacific Northwest College of Art. He has consulted and worked with the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture, Oregon Arts Commission, The Ford Family Foundation and Regional Arts and Culture Council among many others.
Classes Start Feb 2 at New Campus
Classes start Monday, February 2, 2015 in the newly renovated Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design. The culmination of eight years of behind the scenes work and a $15 million capital campaign, construction on the renovation of the historic Federal Building with a contemporary design by Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Architecture took just a little over a year.
While students have been on Winter break, construction has continued at a brisk pace. These photos of the building from December 30 show how the new design brings so much light into the building—by opening the tops of the ground floor arched windows, uncovering expansive skylights, and installing a ceiling of glass in the new atrium with its new cable-hung mezzanine.
Students will walk hundred-year-old marble-lined halls on the way to classes in double-height painting and drawing studios, wired classrooms with internet speeds ten times faster than the current campus, new recording booths, animation labs, and green screen studios. They'll attend visiting artist lectures in the Mediatheque black box theater, gather in the new Albert Solheim Library, the second-floor New Commons under original sawtooth skylights, and in the 2.5 story Atrium with its Grand Cru cafe. Students will be able to show work in a number of project spaces, galleries, and critique spaces throughout the building.
PNCA's new North Park Blocks Campus includes the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design, at 511 NW Broadway, Museum of Contemporary Craft at 724 NW Davis Street, and ArtHouse student housing at 33 NW Park.
And PNCA will welcome the greater Portland community to our new home on March 5, 2015 for our first First Thursday celebration in the new building, opening a new exhibition, Justseeds, in our new 511 Gallery.
Illuminating Zena Zezza's past
Laura Heit, faculty member, was commissioned to create work illuminating Zena Zezza's history in The Hallock and McMillan building residing in Old Town. Heit's main focal point was the Great Flood that hit Portland. Entitled, 1857 Project , in partnernship with the Oregon Historical Society, is currently showing at Zena Zezza and is composed of an animation of cool toned rains being projected onto a photograph of the flood, which shows Portlanders gliding through the streets in boats. Another work by Heit is made of fir floorboards from the building, which creates a ramp that participants can walk up and experience more imagery of past Portlanders enduring the circumstances caused by the flood in almost the same type of ramp structures.

Summerson Wins LG Art of Pixel Grand Prize
Last night John Summerson ('15) was awarded the Grand Prize in LG's Art of the Pixel competition for his work, "Painting from Life." Chosen from 300 entries from nine of the nation's top art schools, Summerson's work garnered him a $5000 award while PNCA also received a $50,000 grant from LG to support arts education. Summerson attended the gala award ceremony in New York with his faculty mentor, Rose Bond. The event was also attended by event ambassador Neal Patrick Harris, Kevin Spacey, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
"It's been a privilege and a thrill to be a part of the Art of the Pixel program and to support young artists and arts education," said Harris. "I thought John's piece was particularly clever. His choice of music as well as his decision to turn vibrant watercolors into stop-motion really came alive on LG's new Ultra HD and OLED display technologies. It just goes to show that every artist, like each work of art, is unique."

From Shaiya Wiki
Alliance of Light
The Humans
Newest to the lands of Tios are the Humans. Spiritual, strong, and swift, the Humans are adept at nearly every job that Tios has to offer. However, their power truly lies in their strength of body and spiritual nature. Born Fighters and Priests, the Humans are natural complement to the magical Elves. Brought to Tios by the Goddesses, the hope was that the Humans would help restore balance and unity. Unfortunately, the Humans got swept up into the chaos, and the Elves were the first to assist them.
The Elves
Methodical, deliberate, and smart are just some of the words used to describe the Elves. The Elves, like the Vail, are descendents from the Dumianas. The Laws of Nature are very important to the Elves, and their society relies on order and discipline. The Elves are in constant conflict in their attempts to keep the monsters of Tios outside of their borders. The magical Elves are the chosen of the Goddess of Light.
Union of Fury
The Vail
Intelligent and swift, cunning and spiritual, the Vail are the chosen of the Goddess of Darkness. One of the two races that are descendents of the Dumianas, the Vail, while exotic and mysterious in appearance, are not the war-like people most expect them to be. Ferocious and treacherous only when necessary, the Vail seek to find a state of equilibrium in their surroundings. Not as strong as some of the other races, the Vail use stealth and the mystical arts when in battle.
The Nordein (aka Deatheaters)
Towards the end of the great war, the Goddesses created the Nordein to help protect Tios. The Nordein, or "Deatheaters," have every appearance of being brutish and unintelligent, violent and aggressive. But this race of Ancients is a book that should not be judged by its cover. In the wars that followed their appearance on Tios, the Nordien acquired a disdain for magic and choose not to use it often, if at all. This is likely one reason that they sided with the spiritual Vail, and not the magical Elves.
