You know those museums that are really quiet and you can't touch anything? These are definitely not those museums. Take the Boston Children's Museum. It's one-of-a-kind, world-renowned center for enrichment. But the kids don't care about that. They just like that it's as fun as a barrel of monkeys. The Museum of Science has scary dinosaurs, loud electric bursts, and an Imax screen the size of a basketball court, and it's still extremely educational. The Kidspace at Mass MoCA has really mind-blowing art, including some uniquely interactive work. At the Discovery Museums in Acton, kids can bounce a ball three stories high or engineer their own train track. Of course, if your family loves those quiet museums, we have plenty of those too.

Eco-Friendly Disposable Diapers
Manufacturer: 7th Generation 1 Results
Seventh Generation Free & Clear Newborn Diapers
" We bought these for our little one until he could fit into his cloth diapers. He was 6lbs, 12oz and they fit great. We came home from the hospital with pampers and huggies and hated both. The Huggies leaked and fit horribly. The Pampers gave him a terrible rash and irritated his skin. The Seventh Generation were exactly what we needed. We did have a hard time telling when they were wet until..." --Pupsnkids

Rugby should appeal to strategists and tacticians because sportsmen put the ideas of the greats — the Clausewitzes, Sun Tzus, and Corbetts — to work right there on the pitch. Sure, that's true of football as well. But in that case it comes in ten-second-odd, regimented, highly scripted increments. Rugby action seldom stops. A score, a penalty, dismemberment of a player — that's about it. Otherwise the match hurtles along at helter-skelter speed. Five concepts from strategic theory that manifest themselves on rugby fields:
1. Offense, defense: Clausewitz portrays defense as the stronger form of warfare, offense the more decisive. So too in sport. How the side on the defense can engineer a transition to the offense, and how the side on the offense may suffer a battlefield reverse, is a recurring question for strategists. In rugby, offense/defense transitions seemingly take place every second of game play. A match is like mercury, reversing flow erratically. Must be fun to be a cameraman trying to track the action for TV viewers.

A few years ago, at a Las Vegas convention for magicians, Penn Jillette, of the act Penn and Teller, was introduced to a soft-spoken young man named Apollo Robbins, who has a reputation as a pickpocket of almost supernatural ability. Jillette, who ranks pickpockets, he says, "a few notches below hypnotists on the show-biz totem pole," was holding court at a table of colleagues, and he asked Robbins for a demonstration, ready to be unimpressed. Robbins demurred, claiming that he felt uncomfortable working in front of other magicians. He pointed out that, since Jillette was wearing only shorts and a sports shirt, he wouldn't have much to work with.
"Come on," Jillette said. "Steal something from me."
Again, Robbins begged off, but he offered to do a trick instead. He instructed Jillette to place a ring that he was wearing on a piece of paper and trace its outline with a pen. By now, a small crowd had gathered. Jillette removed his ring, put it down on the paper, unclipped a pen from his shirt, and leaned forward, preparing to draw. After a moment, he froze and looked up. His face was pale.
"Fuck. You," he said, and slumped into a chair.
Robbins held up a thin, cylindrical object: the cartridge from Jillette's pen.
Robbins, who is thirty-eight and lives in Las Vegas, is a peculiar variety-arts hybrid, known in the trade as a theatrical pickpocket. Among his peers, he is widely considered the best in the world at what he does, which is taking things from people's jackets, pants, purses, wrists, fingers, and necks, then returning them in amusing and mind-boggling ways. Robbins works smoothly and invisibly, with a diffident charm that belies his talent for larceny. One senses that he would prosper on the other side of the law. "You have to ask yourself one question," he often says as he holds up a wallet or a watch that he has just swiped. "Am I being paid enough to give it back?"
In more than a decade as a full-time entertainer, Robbins has taken (and returned) a lot of stuff, including items from well-known figures in the worlds of entertainment (Jennifer Garner, actress: engagement ring); sports (Charles Barkley, former N.B.A. star: wad of cash); and business (Ace Greenberg, former chairman of Bear Stearns: Patek Philippe watch). He is probably best known for an encounter with Jimmy Carter's Secret Service detail in 2001. While Carter was at dinner, Robbins struck up a conversation with several of his Secret Service men. Within a few minutes, he had emptied the agents' pockets of pretty much everything but their guns. Robbins brandished a copy of Carter's itinerary, and when an agent snatched it back he said, "You don't have the authorization to see that!" When the agent felt for his badge, Robbins produced it and handed it back. Then he turned to the head of the detail and handed him his watch, his badge, and the keys to the Carter motorcade.
In magic circles, Robbins is regarded as a kind of legend, though he largely remains, as the magician Paul Harris told me, "the best-kept secret in town." His talent, however, has started gaining notice further afield. Recently, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and the military have studied his methods for what they reveal about the nature of human attention. Teller, a good friend of Robbins's, believes that widespread recognition is only a matter of time. "The popularity of crime as a sort of romantic thing in America is profoundly significant, and Apollo is tapping into that," he told me. "If you think about it, magic itself has many of the hallmarks of criminal activity: You lie, you cheat, you try not to get caught—but it's on a stage, it has a proscenium around it. When Apollo walks onstage, there's a sense that he might have one foot outside the proscenium. He takes a low crime and turns it into an art form."
I first met Robbins in Las Vegas, and he took me to a walk-around corporate gig at the Rio Hotel and Casino. As he shook my hand, he took my measure with alert eyes, smiled, and said, "Hello, sir." (He calls all men "sir.") Despite the heat, he was dressed in black—jacket, shirt, tie, pants, and loafers. "It's kind of my signature," he told me, and explained that, were he to become a real pickpocket, he would dress "more upscale" to blend in at Las Vegas night spots. Robbins is short and compact, and he has the wiry physique of an acrobat beneath the softness of a few extra pounds. His face is lively and expressive, with prominent cheekbones, arched eyebrows, and pointy ears. He has tousled, light-brown hair and a soul patch. Robbins's hands are slim and smooth, with tapered, manicured fingers, marred only by a scar on his right ring finger—from when he was eighteen and tried to juggle a set of hibachi knives at a Japanese steak house.
At the Rio, Robbins took in the scene with the appraising gaze of a jeweller. A few dozen middle-aged men and women, a group of advertising-sales representatives and their clients, were drinking and eating shrimp on a patio in the late-afternoon sun. Robbins had been told that they would be dressed in "business casual." Most of the women had on colorful low-cut tops, tight white pants, and mules. Only a few of the men wore jackets. "This is going to be interesting," Robbins said. "O.K. Time to go shopping."
Robbins strolled through the crowd, smiling and nodding, resting a hand on a shoulder here, lightly touching an elbow there. From time to time, he let his fingertips graze someone's pocket, a technique called "fanning." "He's got a cell phone, keys, and maybe some cash in that right front pocket," Robbins whispered to me, indicating one man. "What I'm doing is taking inventory and making sight maps and getting a feel for who these people are and what I'm going to do with them. I'm a jazz performer—I have to improvise with what I'm given."

An Integrated Approach to Threat Management
Monitoring and Investigations
Managing insider threats is a process, not an event. Although technology introduces new threat vectors, technology itself is not the problem—human behavior is. Effective monitoring must get at the root of the threat and focus on human behaviors by monitoring known technical observables. You need a solution that can detect not only the complete range of threats, but also deliver the context you need to take efficient and appropriate remediation, whether it is user training, individual counseling, building stronger policies, or conducting a more thorough investigation. And you don't want the added complexity and costs—not to mention the greatly increased potential for error—of managing separate systems for your perimeter and your desktops.
Only Raytheon's integrated solution can effectively help you monitor your entire enterprise ecosystem without disrupting business continuity. Raytheon's integrated solution detects risky behavior and resolves serious incidents that could represent a significant threat and put your entire organization at risk. With Raytheon's integrated platform:
- You don't just find threats, you eliminate them. Raytheon enables you to broadly monitor and protect your enterprise data and assets for risk indicators. If a clear violation is detected, target specific events or individual users for investigation. Complete context in the form of video replay allows for extremely targeted and focused remediation.
- Complete Coverage. Only Raytheon can thoroughly track all communication channels from the network to the desktop, detect threats normally hidden by encrypted traffic and files, and continue monitoring even while desktops are offline. Because SureView is on the endpoint, it provides clear-text visibility of encrypted email, files and web-sessions which are collected immediately pre-encryption or post-decryption. Only Raytheon's sophisticated policy engine allows you to monitor even for threats that are composed of linked, but seemingly harmless, individual actions.
- You get the context you need to act fast. Raytheon monitors all communications and applications in real-time on both the network and the desktop. Also, Raytheon provides you all the details, insight, and complete context to immediately assess the severity of the threat, fix the problem, and build the policies to prevent it from happening in the future.
Integrated Threat Management
Comprehensive incident resolution, ongoing proactive threat reduction
Why Raytheon
The only integrated network and desktop solution covering all users activities
Industry standard incident investigation and replay
Shared management of policy, analytics, and reporting

Portland Brownfield Program History
In May 1996 the Environmental Protection Agency announced its Environmental Justice Action Agenda to address issues of environmental justice and equity in communities that have suffered from environmental concerns.
In December of that year, the Portland Brownfields Initiative hosted a series of public Brownfield Roundtables to develop a set of community-based Brownfield Action Plans. Three actions plans were developed to provide guidance for the Portland Brownfield Initiative: Partnerships, Land Use and Growth Management, and Regulatory Enhancement.
In May 1997, Vice President Gore announced a Brownfields National Partnership to bring together the resources of various federal agencies to address brownfield cleanup and reuse issues in a more coordinated manner. This multi-agency partnership pledged support to 16 Brownfields Showcase Communities as models to demonstrate the benefits of collaborative activity on brownfields.
Portland was selected as a Showcase Community in 1998 because of its commitment to brownfields redevelopment and its well-established relationships among local, state, and federal partners.
From early on, the Portland Brownfield Program has been driven by community involvement. Community members formed the North/Northeast Portland Brownfield Community Advisory Committee, which worked closely with property and business owners to identify potential brownfield properties for inclusion in the program. Property owners made presentations at community forums, describing their plans for redevelopment. Community members voted on proposed properties, and final recommendations were made to the Portland Brownfield Showcase Policy Committee, a 20-member board made up of the Mayor, a City Commissioner, several other elected officials, representatives from federal, state and local organizations, and community members.
Today's Portland Brownfield Program continues to serve communities throughout Portland's east side. We bring federal grant money to the city and provide technical and financial assistance to restore Portland's vacant lands. For more information please click on Portland Brownfield Program Services.

If your son plays varsity football at Trinity Prep, you're in danger of a potential 6:30 a.m. knock on the door this spring from your school's new football coach, Mike Kruczek.
He's been known to pull that move before. Just ask one of his former University of Central Florida athletes, Daunte Culpepper.
"Coach [Alan] Gooch and coach Kruz used to get me up to go running at 6:30 in the morning. We would run around the UCF campus for about an hour at least once or twice a week," Culpepper said. "They stayed in shape."
And judging by Kruczek's still athletic 6-foot-1 figure just a few months shy of his 60th birthday, something tells me little has changed in the almost 20 years since he coached Culpepper.
Culpepper describes his former coach as a military-style man. Which makes sense considering Kruczek attended St. John's College High School military school in Washington, D.C.
He's a disciplinarian in relentless pursuit of excellence, which couldn't be more perfectly timed for a football team in need of some inspiration.
The Saints haven't made the playoffs since 2008 and hit a low last season when the team posted a 2-8 record and scored more than one touchdown in only two games.
While Kruczek's 29-year coaching career has spanned from Pop Warner to Kurt Warner, he's generally worked with older athletes. Creating intense, teaching environments with college and professional players is one thing, cultivating that with high school kids could prove to be a challenge.
"Trying to establish that in high school will be a little different because they're younger, but I'm not going to change how I coach," Kruczek said.
But if Kruczek's relationship with athletes like Culpepper is any indication of what's in store, then Trinity Prep athletes have a lot to look forward to.
The two hit it off from the beginning as Kruczek earned trust when he helped create an academic plan to help Culpepper become eligible for college. Culpepper, then 16 years old, hadn't even committed to UCF yet.
"They were just helping a young kid, 16 years old, who needed some help," Culpepper said. "So when I became eligible at the end of the year, I knew I was going to sign with them but they didn't. That kind of showed me that if I go here, these guys are going to look out for me."
Kruczek showed compassion for a young Culpepper, but no mercy. As the quarterbacks coach and a former NFL quarterback himself who helped the Pittsburgh Steelers win two championships, he taught him leadership was less about tell and more about show.
He would invite Culpepper to his 4 a.m. weightlifting sessions in addition to stopping by his dorm room at least once or twice a week for a 6:30 a.m. run.
And when Culpepper ate an offseason meal at Burger King, he knew he could expect a 30-minute lecture from the Kruczek, who Culpepper claims stuck to a strict diet of two cans of tuna fish for breakfast.
"You don't come across many 6-4, 242 pound quarterbacks. I knew how important it was to keep his weight in check because he was going through strength training," Kruczek said.
The two remained close even through 2010 when Culpepper played for Dennis Green and Kruczek was with the short-lived UFL team, the Sacramento Mountain Lions.
Kruczek considers Culpepper more like a son than a former player. And while their relationship is special, he intends to keep his tough-love, family coaching style at Trinity Prep.
"The more they trust you, the more they'll be willing to go the extra step," Kruczek said. "They do trust in what you say and what you're teaching."
So Trinity Prep athletes, get ready for the challenge because a great opportunity in the form of a man named Kruczek is certainly knocking at your door.

New Google Maps Tool – Explore
Google has been busy updating "Google Maps" and revealing new features for its desk top and mobile versions. Among the innovations to Google Maps for smartphones and tablets is a new feature called Explore, a tool that is part of Google's efforts to gradually make the map app more interactive and social.
Explore is designed to bring real-time information to directions, particularly in the map features that help users navigate around traffic. Users will now be able to get incident reports on chosen routes, which that will help them assess traffic conditions. They will also receive alerts with a new route if a new route means a faster travel time.
To make it more social there are also new features geared towards discovering new places to visit. Explore is a highly visual part of Google Maps that gives you a quick survey of the best options around you across five categories: Eat, Drink, Shop, Play, Sleep. The app's Explore feature enables users to browse for new restaurants and stores as well as places of interest. The app's new 5-star rating system offers a summary of how friends and like-minded individuals feel about local places. Every place that has a Zagat rating will have it displayed next to the place's address.
The features work great on tablets because they have enough screen space to display all the information Explore offers. On smartphones you can only view a limited amount on the screen at once.
Explore is Google's next big move towards overtaking its rivals. It is only the first of many Google Maps innovations that should give sites such as YELP pause for concern.

Cotton on heels of tight peanuts
By J.T. SMITH
U.S. peanuts clearly have dug their way out of a surplus. An ever-growing demand and tighter supply could spell better days ahead for peanut prices during the year.
That was one clear take-home message from the 2010 Oklahoma Peanut Expo in conjunction with the 65th annual Texas-Oklahoma Peanut Seed Quality Meeting at Quartz Mountain Resort at Lone Wolf., Okla. The other message was to watch cotton.
Lately, cotton prices have improved noticeably, and that makes cotton a real competitor for peanut acres.
Key Points
• Burdensome U.S. peanut surplus has diminished over past year.
• Tight peanut supply outlook should mean some price improvement.
• Despite brighter picture for peanuts, cotton could compete for acres.
Tyron Spearman, who is executive secretary, National Peanut Buying Points Association, in Tifton, Ga., said in that No. 1 peanut-growing state, $450-per-ton peanuts will not compete with 80-cent-per-pound cotton, if the price of cotton should go that high or higher.
Growers there would need about $500 to $550 per ton for peanuts to be as attractive as cotton at that price, he noted. "If cotton goes up in price, expect more cotton in Georgia," he said.
Supply already tighter
The U.S. peanut supply already has grown tighter, after a burdensome oversupply in recent years. Richard Barnhill, president of the Mazur & Hockman brokerage firm, at Albany, Ga., said the U.S. supply went from 2.41 million farmer stock tons in 2005 to just more than 1.84 million farmer stock tons in 2009.
At that time, he noted, the supply grew to about 2.57 million farmer stock tons after the record 2008 U.S. peanut harvest. But resurgence in demand since, and also the short 2009 crop, eventually brought that burdensome supply back to a more manageable level.
Total annual demand for U.S. peanuts now stands at about 2.08 million tons, from U.S. domestic use and exports.
The U.S. peanut carryout from the past 2009-crop year is 885,000 tons. "That's still a few too many peanuts," Barnhill said, who would prefer the carryover only to amount to 650,000 tons.
Peanut acreage prospects
Barnhill noted the 2010 peanut acreage will have a big say on peanut prices.
"If U.S. acres are over 1.15 million acres in 2010, then I see pressure on peanut prices," he said. "But if U.S. peanut acreage is less than a million acres, then prices should improve."
Barnhill said average peanut prices must do better than $450 per ton before acres increase. "China is the 'big gorilla' in the room," he said. "But it's very difficult to get information from China because of the way they do things."
He said it is clear there's a short Argentine peanut crop. And at the same time, Mexico has become a major buyer of U.S. peanuts. "The U.S. looks like the place to get peanuts," Barnhill said.
Jack Simpson of Birdsong Peanuts, Brownfield, Texas, said the quality of the 2009 peanut crop was good, but he wants to see better crop insurance for peanuts. Determining the "true price" of peanuts has been one obstacle to that.
Mike Kubicek, executive secretary of the Oklahoma Peanut Commission, Shawnee, Okla., said the Southwest grows 100% of U.S. Spanish peanuts and 100% of Valencia peanuts, along with a big percentage of high-oleic runner peanuts, and some Virginia peanuts.
Kubicek notes it is an admirable accomplishment that the Texas and Oklahoma peanut seed industry leaders have come together annually for 65 years to meet and discuss peanut quality.
HE TOUTS SOUTHWEST: Mike Kubicek, executive secretary of the Oklahoma Peanut Commission, says the Southwest region now produces all the Spanish and Valencia peanuts in the U.S., with a sizable percentage of other peanuts, too.

I don't understand this fascination with ink. Hideous!
I agree with both commenters. The ink is to extreme, and he is yet another hairless wonder. I think he is akin to 1990s and 2000s. It seems there is a shift towards more hairy "real" men during this decade.
1. Too much ink
2. Small dick
3. Too waxed, he almost shines
4. Looks twelve
Um….. Thanx, but I'll pass!!!
I've rarely found "fashion models" attractive. There are a few, true, but generally, they don't appeal to me. There's something generic and artificial about them that doesn't attract me.
It's strange because of that "hot guys of the 70s" article here, and a couple of guys mention that they don't find ANY of the guys attractive.
I'm curious whether or not this is age related. Is it possible that young guys are more likely to find the above type of "media-perfect" model more attractive than older men might?
I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and models – even underwear models – at that time had such a different look from the ones they use now. They looked less like "boys", not necessarily "older" but more "adult". It's so hard to describe.
I find present-day models to have a look that I can only describe as "imagine an adolescent if you age him but without actually giving him mature facial changes". I can obviously TELL that this model (the one above) is not a minor, that he's probably in his 20s, and yet, there's a quality about him that just screams "adolescent".
It also seems that ALL models, regardless of what type of clothing they showcase, or where they do it (magazine ads, fashion show runways, etc…), have all adopted the Euro-model "blasé" facial expression.
I'll chime in too, I agree he looks like teen and he is too waxed and too tattooed as well. I see much hotter guys at my gym in SF!
I am not pro or anti-body hair. I am naturally hairless (chest) and there is nothing on me than is little boyish ;) As far of the guy, I think he is cute ink and all. His tats could be hidden by a shirt which is sort of my scale to see if guys are over inked up.
I love fashion models. They get paid thousands of dollars to look constantly pissed off.
I have to agree with the majority on this one — ink destroys a great body. Please let this trend stop!!!
I think a lot of the feminized harmless look is to appeal to young women.
I liked the poker and flannel underwear. Not much else to say.
I think it's a fashion faux pas when your tattoos clash with the pattern on your undies which all of these do.
Hideous tattoos.

Advice for taxi drivers
New Taxi Guidance
Campaigning at a European level to improve taxi travel for disabled people has resulted in an accessibility checklist produced by the European Disability Forum(EDF) and the International Road Transport Union(IRU).
In addition to information on physical access, the taxi access checklist talks alot about drivers attitudes and the importance for their passengers that drivers don't assume they know the customers needs, but always ask them what assistance they would like. Staff attitudes is a key issue that Action for Access campaigners have told us makes a huge difference in how accessible a service is.
The EDF and the IRU are lobbying the European Parliament to include taxis in the upcoming White Paper on the future of the EU Transport Policy in the period 2010-2020.

Oh, yeah. I fathered children, that's how.
It all began when my son, the scion, was in first grade at Kitty Stone Elementary School. At some point he mentioned to his teacher that I had some Indian artifacts and, without consulting me beforehand, he added that I would be happy to come talk to the class about Native Americans. Or maybe it was the teacher who, knowing I was a historian, figured I must know something about Indians, so she asked me to come over.
Or maybe it was a combination thereof, but whatever the reason, the fact that I had a son in the first grade was the critical factor.
So I was invited to speak to "Big Group."
"Big Group" is created when the various first-grade classes are brought together for a special program — like one on Native Americans.
In they come, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, happy to be out of the classroom no matter what the occasion. Formed into lines and told to be quiet, they take their places on the floor, looking up at me while I talk to and with them.
When they see what I have brought — pictures, pottery, arrowheads and such — the buzz of whispering begins. Teachers quiet them down.
Then I am introduced.
Years ago, some of the children would know me because they knew my son and, a few years later, my daughter, who came along after and gave the teachers another reason (excuse?) to invite me. So the pattern was set — and even though my son today is off at college and my daughter is in high school, I still get invited.
And I begin.
I show them an Indian headdress from the Great Plains and then show them a picture of an Alabama Indian and ask them to tell me the difference.
(A word of warning here: Never, ever, ever ask "Big Group" if there are any questions. Hands will shoot up, and if you call on someone you are just as likely to get a story about how their uncle found an arrowhead as a question about anything you have said. And once you let the uncle-with-the-arrowhead get out, everyone will want to top it. If you are going to ask a question, make it specific, or forget the whole thing.)
Then I show them pictures of Indian villages and talk about how the villagers lived.
Next come out the arrowheads.
My collection is small and not in the best of shape. My father grew up near Wetumpka, right in the heart of the Creek Nation. As a boy, he found scores of Indian artifacts. They disappeared over the years, but I have what is left and proudly display them.
The kids are always impressed.
Then I show them a Creek bowl, a replica made by a lady who lives up north of here. Then we talk about Indian food. It is at this point I pull out the grindstone. This is my treasure. Daddy found it in the roots of an old tree, where it was likely put long ago for safe keeping.
Now the teachers call on the students they identified earlier to come up and grind corn — I have brought some. After a few minutes of trying to turn grain into meal, the kids are convinced that being an Indian was hard work.
All the while, teachers are keeping order and I am trying to fend off questions that are really statements, which are really stories. It is constant motion, constant action and constant learning.
Then I am done. The children are lined up again and they troop back into the classroom to gather their books and be dismissed.
I am exhausted.
Nevertheless, it is always a good experience because it confirms to me that anyone who thinks teachers are overpaid and under-worked don't have a clue. One hour with "Big Group" will quiet those critics. There isn't enough money in Montgomery to adequately compensate teachers for the job they do.
I also come away convinced that college teachers like myself should do "Big Group" at least once a year just to remind us what a cushy job we have — at least where teaching is concerned. No matter how difficult it may be to motivate a freshman, keeping a first-grader involved and learning, while at the same time keeping order, ranks at the top of the difficulty scale.
Lastly, I am again convinced that no legislator should be allowed to vote on an education bill until they have spent a day as a teacher in a public school. I am not sure how good that would be for the kids, but for the legislator, it would be a revelation.
And legislators, like college teachers, need revelations every once and a while.

Carol F. Williams
Carol Williams is a retired physician who has studied at Aquinas Institute since 1998.
Forty years' experience delivering health care to women and young girls impresses one with how frequently intimate violence is a part of their lives. The statistics are impressive: one in six American women has experienced rape or attempted rape; nine of ten rape victims are female. Fifteen per cent of sexual assault victims are under age twelve. (RAINN) While physical assault that causes severe enough injury to bring a woman or child to medical attention is the type that is officially reported, less obvious, more subtle forms are frequent and most often remain hidden within the collusive silence of a family or culture. Beatings that avoid the face and leave marks on the body normally covered by clothing are not uncommon. Verbal abuse that demeans the girl or woman frequently accompany slapping and beating. Physical abuse affects 4% to 8% of pregnant women. (Burnett, Adler) Some would say that the failure of a male partner to exercise sexual continence in the face of increasingly severe, life-threatening medical complications with repeated pregnancies of the mother is a form of violence, as is the abortion forced upon the woman by her partner under threat to her life or to the lives of her children. Domestic violence affects 30% of women in the United States, very likely a conservative estimate, given that many episodes go unreported. A justice system that traditionally has tended to down-play both children's and women's testimony about abuse and violence compounds the difficulty they have had in obtaining justice.
The rape victim suffers not only the horror and pain of the rape itself, but also the indignity of the rape exam in the emergency room, followed by the skepticism often heaped upon her by investigating police and the defense attorney if her case goes to trial. All of this is compounded by the sometimes desultory, incomplete processing of specimens in police laboratories. There is the further horror of discovering she is pregnant from the assault, or worse, that she has contracted the HIV virus.
Rape as a weapon of war is as old as wars themselves, continuing into the recent past and today in places like Bosnia, Sudan, Rwanda, and The Congo where rape is an integral part of genocide. Western armies, including the U.S., have their own dismal history of raping civilians in places like Vietnam, as well as their comrades in arms. The "comfort camps" visited upon the conquered people of Korea, China, the Philippines, and other Southeast Asia countries by the Japanese in World War II are well documented.
The barbaric custom of female circumcision continues virtually unabated in eastern and central African nations, reinforced by a culture that sees such mutilations as guarantee of marriageability for the young girls. Young Catholic nuns in one African country are forced by priests to have sexual intercourse in order to obtain supplies for the parish school; when they become pregnant, the priest takes them to the abortionist; alternatively the nuns' order ejects them to an uncertain future on the streets where they are shunned by their families. The preference in China for male children feeds the killing of unborn and born female babies. The trafficking of women and young girls for the sex trade goes on unabated in both eastern and western hemispheres.
Raping of children including infants has increased 400% since the end of Apartheid in 1994 in South Africa. Infants are gang raped to the point of having to have extensive reconstructive surgery to repair their genital areas; many die from their injuries. (Meier) Violence against women and girls is global, endemic, and epidemic.
Habakkuk's cry rings out: "O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not listen? Or cry to you 'Violence!' and you will not save? Why do you make me see wrongdoing and look at trouble? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. So the law becomes slack and justice never prevails. The wicked surround the righteous – therefore judgment comes forth perverted." (Hb 1:2-4 NRSV) Habakkuk's cry might well be that of Woman who down through the ages has suffered the horrors of rape and genocide, of status as chattel with no rights independent of man, unseen and unheard in the conversations of life. Are the ancient prophets aware of her as a person?
The prophets spoke their oracles against the backdrop of the Sinaitic Decalogue that regarded the wife as property of her husband (Ex 22:21-24) and as source of ritual impurity when menstruating. (Ex 19:15) Further, the father was enjoined not to "profane [his] daughter by making her a prostitute." (Lv 19:29) The cost of causing a pregnant woman to miscarry was to be determined by her husband, and if injury more than miscarriage occurred, it was to be "life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe." (Ex 20:17; 21:22-25) All decisions about recompense were in the hands of men without any input or opinion from the woman. One of the more blatant imbalances of the ancient law code is in Numbers 5:11-31 where the woman is forced to take the blame for a man's jealousy by drinking holy water mixed with dirt from the floor of the tabernacle; if she gets sick, she is guilty of adultery and if she does not get sick, she is innocent. The curious episode of Miriam's leprosy as punishment for questioning the sole authority of Moses in leading the people (both she and Aaron had questioned it) is an example of the common mechanism of laying the entire blame at the feet of the woman for something that is a joint affair. Women as spoils of war (women of Shiloh, Jgs 21), as sacrifices to satisfy a vow (Jephtha's daughter, Jgs 11), or to protect guests from demands of a mob (Lot's daughters, Gn 19:1-11) are other examples of a general blindness to injustices visited on woman in Israelite culture. It is in this atmosphere of suspicion and of general disregard for woman as a full person that the prophets developed whatever attitudes they had toward her.
Amos inveighed against the exploitation and injustice suffered by the masses of poor people during the period of peace and prosperity experienced by Israel prior to the final Assyrian invasion, but seemed oblivious to the particular plight of women who undoubtedly comprised the majority of the poor. Further, while other Biblical writers are particularly concerned about the precarious circumstances of widows (Ex 22:22-24, Pr 15:25, Is 1:17, Ps 94:6, Gn 38:1-30), Amos is silent about them. One also has to wonder about his condemnation of wealthy women ("cows of Bashan," Am 4:1-2). As Judith Sanderson points out, only gradually is widespread domestic violence across all economic classes beginning to be recognized in the modern world. The powerlessness of women in domestic violence is rarely acknowledged. It seems unlikely that it did not exist in ancient Israel, even among the "cows of Bashan." That said, Amos does hold women to the same ethical standard as men in their treatment of the exploited poor – the prophet denounces wealthy women because they use their positions of borrowed power and wealth to crush the poor. An ethical demand that applies equally to the genders is present also in Hosea 4:14, where Yahweh does not punish whoring daughters and adulterous daughters-in-law because the men are committing the same sins; God does not punish one while the other goes scot free (but remember leprous Miriam). Sanderson also points out that Amos does not consider the effect of war and its atrocities on particular women. What happened to the pregnant women whose bellies were ripped open and whose children were killed before their very eyes? What was the effect on Amaziah's wife when she was forced into prostitution? (Sanderson, 218-221)
Grace Immerson notes that against the backdrop of the patriarchal culture of ancient Israel, woman's voice is mediated through that of an injured male, if it is heard at all. The characterization of Israel as a whore or otherwise faithless woman reinforces the image of woman as evil against the image of the ideal male. (Immerson, 677) Only one woman is mentioned as a leader of Israel by the prophets: Miriam, who along with her brothers Moses and Aaron, led the people of Israel out of Egypt through the wilderness and to the threshold of the Promised Land. (Mi 6:4) One comes away from a cursory survey of the Hebrew prophets with the sense that there was a general tendency to lay the burden of Israel's guilt for its sins on the shoulders of woman. Widows were the only women who should be protected from exploitation; even children rarely warranted particular protection if the family fell into debt and the father sold them into slavery. Is there no end to the relational nightmare between men and women in a patriarchal society?
God, answer the cries of our hearts, for our fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons do not hear! Is your answer still the one you gave to Habakkuk? "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it. For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it: it will surely come, it will not delay." (Hb 2:2b-3 NRSV) What is the vision that God asks Habakkuk (and us) to wait for as it relates to violence against women and children? Despite the patriarchal tone of prophetic writings, are we missing God's quiet voice calling us to change how we relate to one another as male and female?
I imagine desert places as generally quiet but barren places, harsh landscapes stripped of obvious signs of life. In the prophet Hosea we hear Yahweh's gentle invitation to Israel to begin their relationship all over again in the wilderness where their relationship first began. Listen as Yahweh woos Israel: "Therefore, I will now allure her and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her…There she shall respond as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt. On that day, says the Lord, you will call me, 'Ishi' (my man), and no longer will you call me, 'Baali' (my master, husband, owner, idol)." (Ho 2:14, 15b-16 NRSV) This is language of courtship, of one person seeking union with a beloved other. It assumes that both persons are of "marriageable age," free to make a mature decision to enter into a covenant of mutual vulnerability and intimacy, of shared life in which an exploitative power differential does not exist, in which neither person is slavishly subservient to the other, a life of mutuality, of respect and dignity in which the operative principle is love. I hear in this passage Hosea yearning for such a relationship with his wife. He is no longer ranting at her; his anger is stripped away. "Let's go back to the beginning, into the silent stretches of the desert where we will not be distracted by the noise and violence of the world." Where are the opportunities for such new beginnings in male-female relationships in today's world?
Truth and Reconciliation Commission Hearing, South Africa, 1996: A white police officer is finishing his recital of what he had done to the son and husband of the older black woman sitting before him. He had dragged her son, a non-violent protestor of Apartheid, out of the village, tortured him, killed him, and tossed his body into the river. The officer came back later, took her husband away to an isolated area, doused him with gasoline, and set him afire. He finished speaking, and the woman was asked what should be the officer's punishment. "Take me to where you burned my husband to death so I can gather his ashes and give him a decent burial," she said. "Then I want you to spend one week per month in my village, in my house, so I can mother you."
Rwanda, 2004: A woman sweeps the dirt floor of her hovel. Outside some ten year-old boys play kickball in the dusty yard. The woman speaks: "Every time I look at him, I remember – my husband and children hacked to pieces, the rapes over and over and over. Six weeks later I realize I am pregnant. I think about going to the abortionist…but I don't go. Those of my village who survive shun me because I carried the child of a Hutu. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't remember that day. My rapists were Hutus; I am Tutsi. He's (nodding toward the outside) Hutu and Tutsi." She pauses. "He's Rwandan."
Nagasaki, August 9, 1945: All is quiet now, unnaturally so, the mushroom cloud dissipated, the firestorm playing out its ruin as it spreads out from the center of Ground Zero – the Catholic Urakami Cathedral. Only Mary remains, remnant of a statue that stood on the altar, her eyes charred hollows gazing out on a vaporized scene, her scream of horror stunned into silence. Seventy-five thousand of her people are gone; more will die in the years to come of illnesses due to the effects of radiation. A woman is three months pregnant at the time and will give birth to a baby boy who will become Archbishop Joseph Mitsuaki Takami of Nagasaki. In May, 2010, he will travel to New York City, bringing Mary with him, to plead for the total elimination of nuclear weapons.
"Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it."
Oh, my people, God is calling us to those places, those desert places where silence reigns after the total annihilation of all that is human, after human beings have done the worst that they can to other human beings and to the earth that is their home and source of sustenance. There in the vaporized silence, in the ashes and blood of genocide, sexual and racial oppression, God is calling us to start all over again in our covenanted relationship with God and with each other. Listen…listen…listen…and hear the quiet voice of God nudging open our hearts and minds to hope for redemption. Hear God in the South African woman when she invites the white police officer to accept her remothering of him. Hear the hope in the voice of the Rwandan mother for a different future in Rwanda through the sons and daughters conceived in the slaughter house of 1994. And hear Mary of Nagasaki pleading for a world free of nuclear weapons through her son Archbishop Takami. It is a call to relearn what it is to be human, to remember the devastation that comes when we forget that true power does not reside in crushing the other, whether male or female, black, white, or yellow. It is a call to transcend our wounds and learn how to forgive and to help the aggressor learn compassion and respect for the other. It is a call for a new creation wherein male and female work together to bring God's vision of universal peace to reality.
They shall look on her whom they have pierced – by rape, by murder of husband and children, and the myriad other ways woman is pierced by her experience in a violent world. Do you see Mary at the foot of the cross? Do you hear her voice? Do you hear Yahweh's voice in hers? Listen, my people! She is calling you to lay aside your sense of shame at what you have done to her in so many ways and learn what it is to be the child from her womb, to be a child of God. She is calling you, sons and daughters, to learn how to trust one another in mutual vulnerability, abolishing the power differential that makes one gender slavishly subservient to the other.

Green Label / Green Label Plus
The higher standard for indoor air quality
Today, indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important environmental consideration, especially since we spend approximately 90 percent of our time indoors. In 1992, CRI launched its Green Label program to test carpet, cushions and adhesives to help specifiers identify products with very low emissions of VOCs. CRI has recently launched its next series of improvements called Green Label Plus for carpet and adhesives. This enhanced program sets an even higher standard for IAQ and ensures that customers are purchasing the very lowest emitting products on the market. Using scientifically established standards, the Green Label Plus program symbolizes the carpet industry's commitment to a better environment for living, working, learning and healing.
For more information, select one of the following testing programs:
Quick facts
Green Label Plus measures up
Green Label Plus is an example of CRI's leadership in the best practices of environmental responsibility. Look for the CRI Green Label Plus logo as proof that the product has been tested and certified by an independent laboratory and has met stringent criteria for low emissions.
Green Label merges with Seal of Approval for vacuum certification
CRI's Green Label vacuum certification program is now merging with CRI's Seal of Approval program to combine the stringent standards of carpet cleaning effectiveness and indoor air quality into one program.
