It wasn't so very long ago, and it wasn't in a land very far away, that the professional life of the average chief financial officer was akin to a fairy tale — a fable we might call "Jack and the Bean Counter." In those days, a company's chief executive (that would be Jack) could count on steady incremental growth coming from predictable sources. His CFO (that's the bean counter) helped tally and report the revenues and profits.
As in most folk stories, a big, stomping giant showed up — several, in fact. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, globalization, and the information technology revolution, to name three behemoths, have changed the face of the modern corporation. Beset by complexity; confronted by disruptive innovations from outside the conventional value chain; challenged by fickle shareholders, national and transnational regulatory bodies, and capital markets in a constant state of upheaval, the contemporary company is no fairy tale. The CEO is no longer a carefree Jack.
And the CFO, needless to say, is no bean counter.
Few business roles have changed as dramatically during the last generation as that of the chief financial officer. The classic model — the CFO as chief accountant and technical expert focused narrowly on the firm's financial statements and capital structure — has been passé for a decade or more. The CFO has long since operated as more of a business partner with the CEO, closely involved in designing and overseeing strategy, operations, and performance.
Over the last few years, however, the pace of that evolution has accelerated sharply. Firms are eliminating the position of chief operating officer; a study of 300 publicly traded U.S. companies, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found that 20 percent abolished the COO position between 1986 and 1999. As more business unit general managers report directly to the chief executive, many of the COO's managerial duties are being reassigned to the CFO, who also increasingly finds himself or herself a vital part of the corporation's leadership team, with such a profound combination of staff responsibilities — and even line responsibilities — that the title "chief financial officer" seriously understates the actual position. No longer mere business partners, leading CFOs have become active, innovative, and independent transformation agents.
"When most people think about a chief financial officer, they're still thinking about your father's CFO — an accounting role, maybe expanded to tax and treasury," said David L. Shedlarz, the chief financial officer of Pfizer Inc., one of 17 CFOs of leading global corporations we interviewed for this new, cross-industry study of the evolution of the chief financial officer role. "When you take a look at a CFO's responsibility today, you also have operations planning and analysis, information technology, strategic planning, and M&A. As a member of the senior management team, you have to be able to take off your technical hat when you walk in the room.
"Chief accountant is very important," Mr. Shedlarz added. "But you've got to be a lot more than a chief accountant as a CFO."
A Public Voice |
The interviews we conducted during the summer of 2004 with the senior financial officers of Pfizer, FedEx Express, Johnson & Johnson, BASF, Procter & Gamble, Deutsche Telekom, and 11 other U.S. and European companies, have been published in the book CFO Thought Leaders: Advancing the Frontiers of Finance (to order a copy, click here). The conversations revealed that CFOs of leading global corporations spend half or more of their time on activities outside the traditional boundaries of the position. Far from being overwhelmed by Sarbanes-Oxley and the intensifying scrutiny of corporate governance and compliance, they are playing jujitsu with the new regulatory and shareholder attention, using it both to strengthen internal reporting systems and to align them with company strategy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi (猿飛ヒルゼン, Sarutobi Hiruzen) was the Third Hokage (三代目火影, Sandaime Hokage, Literally meaning: Third Fire Shadow) who hailed from Konohagakure's Sarutobi clan. He was part of Team Tobirama alongside Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane under the leadership of the Second Hokage. He was also trained by the First Hokage and would later become the teacher of the Legendary Sannin Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru and the third man to hold the title God of Shinobi (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami).
Born into the Sarutobi clan to Sasuke, Hiruzen was a prodigy who truly stood out in talent. He and his former team-mates, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, were students of Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage. He was also trained by Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage. While once a close friend of Danzō Shimura during their early childhood, Danzō developed a one-sided rivalry with Hiruzen who always managed to be a step ahead of him. During the First Shinobi World War, Team Tobirama along with Danzō, Kagami Uchiha and Torifu Akimichi were pursued by enemy Kumogakure ninja. Knowing that one of them would need to be a sacrificial decoy so the others can escape, Hiruzen volunteered. However, Tobirama chose to be the decoy instead, naming Hiruzen his successor while driving a further wedge between his student and Danzō. Later in his life, he married Biwako and became the father of at least two children, Asuma Sarutobi and at least one other, who has yet to be seen in the series. This unnamed child would later give Hiruzen a grandson: Konohamaru Sarutobi and Asuma later, another grandchild.
Prior to the Second Shinobi World War, Hiruzen became the teacher of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.[8] Coming to appreciate Orochimaru's natural talent, Hiruzen saw him as a once in a lifetime genius.[9] However, while explaining to Orochimaru the symbolic significance of a white snake the boy found near his parents' grave, Hiruzen unknowing caused his pupil to go down a dark road while attempting to steer him away from it.[10] After serving as Hokage for many years, Hiruzen started looking for a successor to the title. While he hoped to be able to give the position to Orochimaru, he saw that he only was interested in the power it offered.[11][9] Though he turned to Jiraiya,[12] Hiruzen instead named Jiraiya's student Minato Namikaze as his successor.[13]
In the aftermath of the Third Shinobi World War, knowing the danger if Kurama were to break loose during the childbirth of its current jinchūriki, Kushina Uzumaki, Hiruzen assigned Biwako and a few ANBU for security to oversee the birthing process in a secured location on the outskirts of the village. However, also learning of Kushina's pregnancy, a masked man found the location and slaughtered the protection and maternity detail before releasing Kurama to destroy Konoha. Unaware of how Kurama got loose, Hiruzen nonetheless led the ninja in subduing the Nine-Tails before Minato arrived and transported himself, and the tailed beast away from from the village. Hiruzen soon arrived at the scene when Minato decided to seal Kurama into his own son, unable to intervene because of the erected barrier.[14] With Minato dead, Hiruzen once more assumed the role of active Hokage while deciding to protect the orphaned child by giving him his mother's last name to conceal his relation to Konoha's Yellow Flash.[15] With this, Hiruzen also passed a law in the village that no one was to speak of the beast sealed within the young man and hoped that Minato's dying wish that his son be seen as a hero be honoured, but the people who had lived first-hand the devastation that the Nine-Tails could bring forth were unable do this. And though most obeyed Hiruzen's law — with those who didn't being severely punished — the children of the village, also came to fear and dislike Naruto, simply because their parents did.[16]
Some time after resuming his post, Hiruzen began investigating a number of disappearances within Konoha and learned that Orochimaru was behind them. Having used those that he kidnapped as test subjects in his quest to gain immortality, Orochimaru allowed his former master a chance to kill him. Ultimately, Hiruzen could not bring himself to do it, allowing Orochimaru to escape.[17] A few years later, Hiruzen learned of the Uchiha Clan's plot against the village and attempted to find a peaceful resolution for both sides. However, before reaching such an alternative, Danzō inveigled Itachi Uchiha to slaughter his kin.[18] However, prior to Itachi leaving the village as a missing-nin, the young man sought out the Third and begged him to protect his little brother and not tell him the truth, and Hiruzen obliged.[19]
In the anime, Hiruzen assigned Yakumo of the Kurama clan to hone her genjutsu under Kurenai Yūhi.[20] However, Kurenai learns of the evil persona within Yakumo and Hiruzen regretfully gives her permission to seal Yakumo's abilities to prevent the alter ego from killing Yakumo at the cost of ending the Kurama clan.[21]
Due to the long life he had lived, Hiruzen served as a source of wisdom for much of the series, passing on the things he had learned to the next generation. As Hokage, he had also acquired a habit of attempting to end things peacefully, and did what he could to avoid bloodshed amongst his allies and his enemies. At the series' start, Hiruzen was one of the few people who saw Naruto as more than the container of Kurama, and, as such, became someone that Naruto truly admired, even thinking of Hiruzen as a grandfather-figure.
According to Kakashi Hatake, Hiruzen loved his students deeply, including Orochimaru, no matter how far he had fallen.[22] This ideal stems from his belief that Konoha's next generation is a precious resource that must be protected. However, it was the same belief that forced Hiruzen to allow Orochimaru to escape after uncovering his experiments in replicating Hashirama's DNA at the cost of many lives, thus unknowingly allowing his former student to commit even more tragedies. By his own admission, Hiruzen noted that he was too compassionate and indulging of a person, leaving things such as the more underhanded, but necessary, tasks to Danzō. To this end he admitted that he believed that he had failed to carry on the Second Hokage's mission of bringing stability to the village.[23]
Hiruzen was also bit lecherous as well, as he enjoyed spending much of his free time talking to young girls, which was his favourite pastime,[1] and when Jiraiya was still his student, he offered to help Jiraiya test the technique that would allow the user to spy on naked women unnoticed. Even Jiraiya, in this instance, noted his sensei's perverted qualities. He also fell victim to Naruto's Sexy Technique on more than one occasion, fainting after he saw it.
Hiruzen was a light-skinned man of below-average stature with grey hair. Since his time training the Sannin, he has had a small goatee and short spiked hair — both being dark brown in colour during his youth. He also initially had a single line running vertically under outer corners of each eye, which stretched down into his face as he aged until they reached his cheeks. As an old man, age had not taken much of a toll on his overall appearance. His only changes were slight; he obtained more pronounced cheekbones, a longer and thicker goatee, a prominent crease across his forehead, grey hair, a few wrinkles, a wart near his left nostril, and a few liver-spots.
Prior to becoming Hokage, he wore a grey steel breastplate with shoulder guards along with a standard forehead protector. Later, during his reign as Hokage, Hiruzen would commonly wear the official uniform — consisting of the customary hat and haori, along with a red, full-length kimono that was tied using a white sash. With age, had also taken to smoking a pipe. He also occasionally wears an orange shirt, with the kanji for fire (火, hi) on its back. His combat attire consisted of a black jumpsuit, which featured mesh segments over the lower portions of his limbs, and a grey gauntlet that covered his right wrist, forearm and elbow. He also wore an armoured hood with a bandanna-like Konoha forehead protector over this, which featured two long straps.[24] The kanji for "Third Hokage" was inscribed onto an additional piece of metal plating on the back of his outfit, although at the time of Kurama's attack when he retired the post, it merely had the kanji for "fire" (火, hi).[25] He also had two shuriken holsters strapped to either side of his back.
Hiruzen was one of the most powerful shinobi in history, so much so that he was admired as the God of Shinobi (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami) in his prime, and was said to be the strongest Hokage that Konoha has ever had.[1][26][27] Even in his old age, he was also said to be the strongest of all the five Kage at the time of his death.[28] Enma commented on his battle with Orochimaru, saying that it was "miserable" compared to his prime, even though he had clearly been able to hold his own against Orochimaru and two former Hokage without losing his composure. He was also the longest living and longest reigning Hokage. Hiruzen also had keen senses, being able to track down the former Hokage under Hashirama Senju's Bringer-of-Darkness Technique.[29]
Over his lifetime Hiruzen had accumulated a vast knowledge of ninjutsu. This is shown when he witnesses Kurama's sealing into Naruto Uzumaki, where, after observing the Fourth making hand seals, he immediately discerned which technique he intended to use. Although he concedes that in his current state, he might not be able to fight in equal terms with his former student, Hiruzen remains very confident of his abilities; when confronted with the reincarnated First and Second Hokage, after being told by his predecessors that they had no choice but to fight him, Hiruzen simply told them to prepare to be defeated.
Chakra Prowess and Control
Even in his old age, his chakra was noted for being very strong. Similar to Hashirama, Hiruzen's chakra causes a dense effect on the atmosphere when released, cracking the building he and Orochimaru were battling on.[30] Furthermore, he was known for having immense reserves of chakra in his youth.[31] Despite his diminished reserves of chakra in his old age, he also showed great chakra control, needing only the minimum amount of chakra to use each technique.
In terms of taijutsu, Hiruzen displayed a very high level of skill. He was able to counter Hashirama and Tobirama in close combat. He was also quick-thinking as during their confrontation he was able to place explosive tags on each of them without them, nor Orochimaru even knowing. After summoning Enma, he was able to break through wooden branches with ease.
Even when robbed of his sight, he could still defend himself from Hashirama's and Tobirama's assaults, blocking all their attacks to prepare for his Dead Demon Consuming Seal. After sealing both former Hokage, he faced Orochimaru in single combat. Despite his sealing parts of his soul away in the Shinigami, as well as fighting for a prolonged amount of time before he engaged Orochimaru one-on-one, he effortlessly disarmed him of his sword.
Hiruzen was also called The Professor (プロフェッサー, Purofessā)[32], due to his mastery of all forms of shinobi combat, and his vast knowledge of techniques, purportedly knowing all the techniques within Konoha.[33] In the anime, even Danzō, Hiruzen's life-long rival, openly acknowledged the Hokage's sheer prowess in utilising any technique as unsurpassed.[34] To watch over the village, he would use the Telescope Technique, allowing him to observe others through his crystal ball over long distances.[35] He was also an expert in fūinjutsu, being capable of using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. Due to his old age and waning strength he was forced to get into close range of an enemy in order for it to take effect, though he was still capable of sealing the souls of the First and Second Hokage and part of Orochimaru's soul. He is also adept at using barrier ninjutsu, capable of erecting a Kage-calibre barrier powerful enough to trap the Ten-Tails.[36]
Out of his various specialties, Hiruzen was highly skilled in the use of shuriken based techniques, one of which was the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique. With this technique, he could create a thousand clones of a single thrown shuriken in an instant to overwhelm the opponent with the extreme difficultly in evading them all. This method also meant that he didn't have stock up on a lot of shuriken. He could also use the technique with the larger version of shuriken, increasing the technique's range and penetration power.[37]
Nature Transformation
Sarutobi was highly skilled in elemental ninjutsu, using Fire Release and Earth Release. Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet allowed him to exhale a powerful stream of fire from his mouth. Earth Release: Earth Flow River created a river of mud beneath the opponent to throw them off balance, and he could use the mud with Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet, which creates a dragon's head that launches mud balls at an opponent. He had also been shown to be adept in combining elemental techniques, as seen when he ignited the mud ball projectiles with Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet, creating a volley of hot mud that can melt nearly anything. Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall allowed Hiruzen to spit a stream of mud that solidifies into a protective shield.
Summoning Technique
Hiruzen also had a personal summon: Monkey King: Enma, who was capable of turning into a diamond-hard staff, which could alter its length and width at will, or become a cage to protect the summoner. The staff was Hiruzen's weapon of choice as he showed great proficiency in wielding it; he successfully pushed back Kurama with it during its attack on Konoha.[38] Enma could also manifest parts of his body and attack an enemy with his claws and fangs, which added an element of surprise.

Part I
Introduction Arc
Hiruzen's first appearance in Part I was when two men reported to him that Naruto Uzumaki had vandalised the Hokage Monument. He was then seen standing next to Iruka Umino after the Academy graduation test, telling Iruka that they needed to talk and they were talking later about Naruto. In the manga when Naruto tried to steal the Scroll of Seals, Hiruzen found him and comically fell against his Sexy Technique. Later when Naruto succeeds in stealing the scroll, Hiruzen was seen instructing a large group of shinobi to stop and capture Naruto, observing the whole incident — including Mizuki revealing his intentions — from a crystal ball.
While criticising Naruto's ninja registration picture, in the anime he became the target of the boy's Sexy Technique, and fell prey to the mentioned. He was then unsuccessfully "assaulted" by Konohamaru Sarutobi who followed Naruto on the way out. He then watched the skirmish between Naruto and Ebisu, thinking that he would be heavily affected by the Harem Technique, blushing at the mere thought of it.
He was seen with the Konoha jōnin that would soon be assigned their genin cell. He told Kakashi Hatake that he would be leading Team 7. He and Kakashi then visited Naruto's apartment, pointing out few things like the expired milk that had caused Naruto much trouble after drinking it. He was then talking to Iruka about Kakashi's teaching methods, showing Iruka a book with the number of trainees that Kakashi failed. Iruka could only stare in shock upon realisation that no genin team assigned under Kakashi has ever got a passing mark.
Land of Waves Arc
After Team 7 completes their first D-rank mission, Hiruzen congratulates them on their success. Because the mission consisted only of finding a lost cat, Naruto complains that the mission was too easy and demands their next mission be more challenging, to Kakashi's embarrassment. Hiruzen tries to explain how missions are assigned by skill level and that, as genin, they cannot be expected to accomplish more difficult missions yet. Naruto does not relent, so Hiruzen agrees to assign them a C-rank mission: escorting Tazuna to the Land of Waves.
Chūnin Exam Arc
He first appeared in this arc consulting the jōnin about their decision to register their genin into the upcoming Chūnin Exams. Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yūhi, and Kakashi Hatake all deemed their students worthy. Thereafter, a slight argument ensued between Iruka and Kakashi where the former claimed that Naruto and his team-mates were not ready for such a challenge. Kakashi silenced him by saying that they were no longer Iruka's students but Kakashi's soldiers. Hiruzen was then sent to the tower in the Forest of Death after Anko Mitarashi encountered and was defeated by Orochimaru. After hearing Orochimaru's message for him, he tried to ease Anko's pain from the Cursed Seal.
After the second portion of the exam, he is seen congratulating all the genin who passed, and explaining the next round. He then witnessed the preliminary rounds of the final matches, only to tell the advancing genin about the challenge and their training. From there, he was seen reporting to the council that Hayate Gekkō had been killed, and that Orochimaru may have been involved. He then decided to carry on the Chūnin Exams as normal. Later that day, he assured Anko, who visited him to apologise, that she did not need to feel guilty about returning alive in the Forest of Death, after her encounter with her former master. He then departed for some air some seconds later to head to the Hokage Monument, where he gave a speech to the Academy students about what it really means to be a shinobi. When the time of third portion of the exam comes, Hiruzen was present on a stadium as one of the judges. He welcomed Fourth Kazekage who really was impersonated by Orochimaru.
Invasion of Konoha Arc
When the invasion began, Hiruzen was taken by Kazekage who revealed himself as Orochimaru and forced to battle him, as the Third's former student infiltrated the village and planned Konoha's destruction just so he could kill Hiruzen and kidnap Sasuke Uchiha. Soon after the battle began, Orochimaru reincarnates Hashirama and Tobirama, so that Hiruzen could feel the enjoyment of fighting his former masters.[30]
Hiruzen quickly resolved to kill his masters and used a very powerful fire technique that was easily countered by one of Tobirama's walls of water that was then turned into an attack that was stopped by Hiruzen's own earth wall. Hiruzen was then however caught by Hashirama's Wood Release. Even after summoning Enma to free himself from Hashirama's Wood Release, Hiruzen, in his old age was unable to defeat the two Hokage, as any damage that was done was simply regenerated. He was further inhibited by his desire to not hurt either.
Hiruzen's fight was also impeded by Orochimaru's presence, horrified at seeing just how monstrous his treasured student had become through mastering Living Corpse Reincarnation and his intentions to use it on Sasuke. Left with no other choice, Hiruzen creates two shadow clones while executing Dead Demon Consuming Seal on his former masters to stop them.[39] As he bid a heartfelt goodbye to his teachers, he turned his attention to Orochimaru and reveals the technique's double edge as he must sacrifice both his soul and those of his predecessors to the Shinigami. Intending to have Orochimaru join them in the spectre's stomach while throwing aside his former pupil's Kusanagi, Hiruzen attempts to seal Orochimaru's soul as well. Realising it as he starts to see the Shinigami, Orochimaru called his Kusanagi to him, stabbing Hiruzen in the back. Despite the fatal injury, Hiruzen continued to try to remove Orochimaru's soul as his death would come one way or the other.
After an hour of struggling, Hiruzen came to accept that his old age had left him too weak to completely seal Orochimaru away. Seeing that completely removing Orochimaru's soul was impossible, yet his desire to redeem himself for allowing his former student's escape, Hiruzen decided to instead have the Shinigami take Orochimaru's arms to rob him of using ninjutsu as his way of fittingly punishing Orochimaru for his obsession with power. As Orochimaru began to curse his former master for the act, Hiruzen bids his student farewell as he collapsed with the hope that they would meet again. Seeing Orochimaru as the boy he once was, Hiruzen died with a smile on his face with the knowledge that he saved Konoha and its next generation that would come.[40]
Part II
Ten-Tails Revival Arc
In Sasuke Uchiha's quest for answers, Hiruzen's soul was freed from the Shinigami and subsequently reincarnated with the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation technique alongside his predecessors Hashirama, Tobirama, and his successor Minato Namikaze by Orochimaru using Zetsu's spore clones as sacrifices. After he and Minato explained how they had been freed from the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and reincarnated again, Hiruzen is shocked to learn that Orochimaru did not bring him back to destroy Konoha before learning the reason was to give Sasuke answers. Seeing that Sasuke learned the truth, Hiruzen solemnly confirmed that everything related to the Uchiha clan massacre was true.
Shocked when his former sensei was about to take action against Sasuke for saying that Hashirama's words would decide whether or not he exacted revenge on the village, Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief when the First was able to stop his brother, albeit almost destroying the Naka Shrine in the process. Questioning Orochimaru when the Sannin noted that they did not have time for a lengthy discussion, Hiruzen is shocked to hear that there was a war going on and even further that Madara was participating in it. Opting to head to the battlefield immediately and then have their discussion later, when they were bound by Orochimaru, Hiruzen had no choice but to abide by the First's wish to stay and free Sasuke from the impending darkness which surrounded him, threatening to corrupt him. With Hashirama's story over, Hiruzen echoed Tobirama's sentiments that there had been Uchiha who had transcended the limitations of their clan and had put the village first. He also noted that Shisui Uchiha, the son of Tobirama's subordinate Kagami and Itachi's best friend has also inherited Hashirama's will. On the outside of the Naka Shrine, Hiruzen took the opportunity to question Orochimaru's motives before resigning to his bust on the Hokage Monument alongside the other respective Hokage. Hiruzen noted that he had not been to war for so long, that he would give it his all.
Arriving with Hashirama and Tobirama, Hiruzen lauded his successor, noting that he still lived up to his moniker of Konoha's Yellow Flash. Answering the curious onlookers, Hiruzen noted that it was Orochimaru whom had reincarnated them and that they were there to put an end to the war. On Hashirama's command, the Hokage launch into action and Hiruzen asked Minato if he had already marked the locations before he is teleported to his designated location. Using the Four Red Yang Encampment technique, the four Hokage are able to successfully trap the Ten-Tails.
Hiruzen and the other Hokage later watched as Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke all summoned their creatures to the battlefield. Remembering his own students, after seeing the summoned slug, snake, and toad, Hiruzen acknowledged that it was really the dawning of a new era. With this, he spurred them on to attack the Ten-Tails. Hiruzen was later sent reeling when Obito destroyed the Four Red Yang Encampment after becoming the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki. He later relocated to confront Obito alongside Hashirama and Tobirama where he admitted that though it might be brazen, he had to agree with Hashirama that even he was now outclassed by Obito.
Narrowly escaping Obito's assault Hiruzen looked on as Hashirama and Tobirama's bodies are destroyed by the new jinchūriki. Upon Tobirama's command to move away, Hiruzen jumped to safety and noted that Tobirama was going to use his Mutually Multiplicating Explosive Tags technique. After the explosion, Hiruzen confronted Obito directly, launching a giant shuriken which he replicated. Using this, and the direct assault on him by Obito, The Professor deduced that the mysterious substance that was being used by Obito was similar somewhat to Dust Release but afforded both offensive and defensive capabilities. He also noted that the substance was more than likely made out of at least four nature transformations but at the same time, could not be maintained for extended periods of time. While still analysing the technique, Hiruzen got hit by it which his opponent used to quickly overwhelm him by annihilating the complete upper half of the Hokage's body.
After Hiruzen died, seeing him as a great Hokage, Tsunade noted that the village has produced some very fine and determined shinobi under her mentor's leadership, as when she saw Rock Lee's determination to go through with a life-risking operation. Succeeding Hiruzen as the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade practices her mentor's principles during her term. Additionally, Asuma passes his father's ideals to his student Shikamaru Nara and the significance of protecting Konoha's next generation. Asuma is also the father of a child with Kurenai Yūhi which will be Hiruzen's second grandchild, posthumously. As the Fourth Shinobi World War begins, Kabuto Yakushi would reveal to Tobi that Hiruzen's use of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal during his fight with Orochimaru had left Kabuto unable to summon him, nor Hashirama and Tobirama via Impure World Reincarnation.
The Fourth Raikage insinuated Hiruzen's death may have been the result of a secret plot between Danzō Shimura and Akatsuki, though it was all Orochimaru's doing.[41]
While he promised Itachi that he would protect Sasuke, Hiruzen did not foresee the boy becoming an enemy to Konoha, due to his inability to look past the tragedies of his life, and developing a hatred-induced mindset. When Sasuke was confronted by Kakashi soon after he killed Danzō, hesitant at killing his former student at first, the latter remembers Hiruzen's resolution to kill Orochimaru and finally understood how the Third felt.[42]
Video Games
Hiruzen Sarutobi is a playable character in the following video games:
- Hiruzen is one of only three known Kage to predominantly wear the position's official uniform — the others being the Fifth Kazekage, and the Fourth Raikage.
- His father's and clan's name, inspired by Sarutobi Sasuke, means "jumping like a monkey", further supported by his Summoning Technique, which summons Enma. Tobirama also nicknamed him "Monkey" (サル, Saru).
- Many aspects of his character were borrowed from the Chinese literature classic Journey to the West. Hiruzen's summon, Enma, bears a very strong resemblance to Sun Wukong (孫悟空, Monkey King), the protagonist of the novel, and Hiruzen's chosen weapon was identical to the Monkey King's magical staff.
- Hiruzen's ghost could be briefly seen in Naruto: Shippūden episode 129.
- During his battle with Orochimaru, maybe as a premonition to his death, Hiruzen's likeness on the Hokage Monument cracked across the face. While the crack was fairly prominent due to its size, it didn't always show up in the anime, due either to a bad angle or a mistake by the animators.
- Hiruzen shared the same nickname as Hashirama Senju and the Sage of the Six Paths. They were each known as the "God of Shinobi" (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami).
- Masashi Kishimoto originally planned for Hiruzen to be a dog, but eventually dumped the idea for being "too weird".
- According to the databook(s):
- His favourite foods were hijiki (which he shared with rival, Danzō Shimura), and sardine fish balls and his least favourite food was narazuke.
- His desired opponent was a grown-up Konohamaru.
- His favourite phrase was Absolute Truth (真諦, Shintai).
- His hobby was chatting with young girls.
- (About Naruto) "He has combined shadow clones with his own invention, the Sexy Technique. What a foolish ninja technique… and he could probably get me with it, too."[43]
- (To Iruka) "I wonder… do you have it, young as you are… the Will of Fire?"[44]
- (To Kosuke) "As long as I am alive, I will not let you go to your death on a mission! If you are a Konoha shinobi, find your Will of Fire!!"[45]
- (To Konohamaru) "To those who possess the Will of Fire, everyone is family. The desire to protect one's family builds thicker and stronger bonds between each and everyone in the village. If the Will of Fire is embraced by everyone, the village will be alright no matter what happens."[46]
- (To Orochimaru) "Konoha is my home! The Hokage is one who continues to act as the main pillar of the house, protecting it!! He's the one who carries the will of Konoha, entrusted with it… It won't be that easy for you!"[47]
- (To Orochimaru) "To me, Konoha isn't just an organisation. Every year there are a lot of ninja born and raised in Konoha… They live, fight to protect this village and what is precious they would go to their death. Even if we are not related by blood, those of the village like these are, to me, my most precious, most important… family!"[48]
- (To Orochimaru) "Even if you were to kill me, the pillar would not crumble. I'm the man who inherited the will of Konoha, the will of the First and Second. I am the Third Hokage!!! No matter how much you target Konoha, there'll be a new Hokage who'll inherit my will… and become the pillar to protect Konoha!"[49]
- (To Orochimaru) "In this society, true power is not attained from mastering all the world's techniques. This is something I have already taught you. When there is something important to protect… that's when a shinobi's true power emerges."[50]
- (To Orochimaru) "Your foolishness is unparalleled, Orochimaru. My one regret is that I couldn't take you with me. Farewell, disciple! May we meet again in the next world."[51]
- (Last words) "When the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again, tree leaves shall bud anew."[52]

Mobile pedestal files offer office environments the best in mobile storage and organization. With a mobile pedestal file, a user can quickly organize his or her belongings, including work documents, letters, files, and other materials. Not only is organization a priority, but mobility can be extremely useful for employees as well. When employees have to move around an office or work space, sometimes they need to take documents with them, making mobile pedestal files an organizational and mobility necessity.
7 Item(s) Page 1 of 1 | 1
Mobile pedestal files are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and their colors can even be adjusted to match your office's existing aesthetic. With such flexibility of size and appearance, you can be sure to find the right one to suit your individual needs. These filing cabinets boast convenient casters in most cases, allowing for fast and efficient movement across a variety of flooring surfaces, without causing damage to either the casters or your floor.
There are all kinds of filing options in a mobile pedestal file. Some are designed for regular 8 ½ x 11 documents, while others are made to contain large, rolled up documents. Still more store large, odd-shaped, or bulky office products, and can help "clean-up" the appearance of a work space by storing these items out of sight until they are needed. Some of your options for mobile pedestals include:
These options can make the choice of a mobile pedestal much easier, as you can choose the size, shape, and appearance of the pedestal that will best suit the needs of your work space. At Beyond the Office Door, we want our customers to have customizable options, so that they, and their own customers, can benefit from better organization and mobility.

OWASP Newsletter 4
Using the same format as used in OWASP Newsletter's 1, 2 and 3 this is the page that will be used for the next Newsletter
OWASP Newsletter #4, OWASP Top 10 RC1, Web Goat, OWASP Documentation Projects
Welcome to OWASP Newsletter #4, as mentioned last week, we finally got the new version RC1 (Release Candidate 1) of the OWASP Top 10 out for review, criticism and comment (we will take all comments seriously (like for example Sylvan von Stuppe post) so please do spend the time to check this version and speak up your mind)
This week I am featuring one of our longest and most famous projects, Web Goat, who has release the WebGoat 5.0 Release Candidate 1 containing new lessons created via an Owasp Autumn of Code sponsorship. Also featured is good list and descriptions of the best OWASP Documentation projects (just in case you were not aware of them :) )
Talking about the AoC (Autumn of Code), if all goes well we will close it officially next week, and will announce the SpoC. SpoC has you must be guessing by now, is the OWASP Spring of Code (still with no connection with Google's Summer of Code) :)
As normal you can find below the links to the latest WIKI changes and at the end you can see a couple OWASP references in the media that are not really compliant with OWASP brand usage rules
And don't forget, if you want something to appear in the next version, please add it to OWASP Newsletter 5

OWASP projects that need your help
- OWASP Top 10 2007 RC1 - We are opening review of the Top 10 2007 until February 28, 2007. Please review the document and provide feedback to the firstname.lastname@example.com mail list. If you cannot make public submissions or feedback but still wish to make your voice heard, please mail vanderaj (at) owasp.org. Please note: This document is not to be used or referenced until after its release.
- OWASP Testing Project v2.0 - Now that the The OWASP Testing Guide v2.0 has reached the 'Release Candidate 1 milestone, the time has come to make sure that everything is 100% and that there is nothing major missing (review process ends on the 10th of Feb).
- Online Questionaires: I (Dinis) want to do a OWASP wide survey, what solution should I use to create, deploy and manage it?
- WordPress guru needed: Our blogs (http://blogs.owasp.org/) still looks miserable. We need somebody to help Mide de Libero to sort it out (and while you're there get a feed to put on owasp.org and the next version of the OWASP newsletter)
- This is not from an OWASP project, but a request I received from an MBA Student who is doing a survey on Open Source (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=387523013251])
Featured Project: WebGoat 5.0 RC1
WebGoat Overview
WebGoat is a deliberately insecure J2EE web application maintained by OWASP designed to teach web application security lessons. In each lesson, users must demonstrate their understanding of a security issue by exploiting a real vulnerability in the WebGoat application. For example, in one of the lessons the user must use SQL injection to steal fake credit card numbers. The application is a realistic teaching environment, providing users with hints and code to further explain the lesson.
To get started, read the User and Install Guide
WebGoat 5.0 Release Candidate 1
Thursday January 17th, WebGoat 5.0 Release Candidate 1 was released. Special thanks to the many people who have sent comments and suggestions and those who have put in the effort to contribute their time to this release.
The 5.0 release would not have been possible without the efforts of Sherif Koussa and OWASP Autumn of Code 2006.
This version can be downloaded from OWASP's Sourceforce repository: WebGoat 5.0 RC1
Please send all comments to webgoat AT g2-inc DOT com regarding this release candidate. A final release is scheduled for the end of January
Featured Project: OWASP Documentation Projects
I wrote this on an email the other day, and realized that it was a good list of our best documenation projects:
- OWASP Top Ten Project "The OWASP Top Ten provides a powerful awareness document for web application security. The OWASP Top Ten represents a broad consensus about what the most critical web application security flaws are. Project members include a variety of security experts from around the world who have shared their expertise to produce this list"
- OWASP Guide Project "The Guide is aimed at architects, developers, consultants and auditors and is a comprehensive manual for designing, developing and deploying secure web applications."
- OWASP AppSec FAQ Project "This FAQ answers some of the questions that developers have about Web Application Security. This FAQ is not specific to a particular platform or language. It addresses the common threats to web applications and are applicable to any platform."
- OWASP Testing Guide "This project's goal is to create a "best practices" penetration testing framework which users can implement in their own organizations and a "low level" penetration testing guide that describes how to find certain issues."
- OWASP CLASP Project "CLASP (Comprehensive, Lightweight Application Security Process) provides a well-organized and structured approach for moving security concerns into the early stages of the software development lifecycle, whenever possible."
- OWASP Honeycomb Project "In the Honeycomb project, OWASP is assembling the most comprehensive and integrated guide ever attempted to the fundamental building blocks of application security (principles, threats, attacks, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures) through collaborative community efforts."
- OWASP Application Security Assessment Standards Project "Currently there is a lack of standardization over what constitutes an application security assessment. With no single set of criteria being referenced, it is suggested that OWASP establish a set of standards defining and establishing a baseline approach to conducting differing types/levels of application security assessment. The standards should be flexible in design to accommodate a range of security assurance levels. The standards should not be viewed as placing requirements on any party. Rather, the standards should make recommendations about what should be done to be consistent with what the OWASP community believes is best practice. Adhering to the standards should help increase end user organization confidence that assessments meet an industry agreed-upon approach.?"
- OWASP Application Security Metrics Project "This OWASP Project will first identify and provide the OWASP community a set of application security metrics that have been found by contributors to be effective in measuring application security. This will be followed by the development of new metrics that build on the initial metrics foundation to fulfill unmet metrics requirements. The goals of this Project are to make a baseline set of application security metrics available to the OWASP community and subsequently to provide a forum for the community to contribute metrics back into the baseline."
- OWASP WASS Guide "The WASS, or Web Application Security Standards project, aims at creating a proposed set of minimum requirements a web application must exhibit if it is to be considered "secure". There currently exists a similar set of standard requirements focused at the network level in the Cardholder Information"

OWASP references in the Media
This week we have two examples of non complience with OWASP brand usage rules, namely 8. The OWASP Brand must not be used in any materials that could mislead readers by narrowly interpreting a broad application security category. For example, a vendor product that can find or protect against forced browsing must not claim that they address all of the access control category.
- Java Source Code Analysis Available for Developers to Improve Software Security and Quality - quote "Java Security Analysis Aligned with OWASP -- KDJ's vulnerability analysis provides excellent coverage of the vulnerabilities from the OWASP Top 10 list."
- Ounce Labs Simplifies Regulatory and Policy Compliance With New SmartAudit - quote : "1. OWASP Top Ten: Identifies the existence and location in the source code of any of the Top 10 most critical web application security vulnerabilities, a list complied by the Open Web Application Security Project."
The problem with these claims is that it is very hard to know what exactly do they mean. At least in KDJ's case they say "...excelent coverage..." versus Ounce Labs' "...any of the Top 10...".
One idea that is currently being debated is if OWASP brand usage rules should state that if a company makes claims such as the ones above in relation with the OWASP Top 10 (or other OWASP materials), they MUST include a reference to a publicly accessible page that 'explains' how well they 'think' each element of the Top 10 is covered.

If you're on a low-sodium diet, you may need to limit some of your favorite foods, but there are still so many ways to prepare meals with less salt that are just as flavorful.
These tasty recipes are all low-sodium — and can be made more so, obviously, by omitting the suggested salt. (As a guideline, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that people who are 51 and older consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium a day.)
Orange-Herb Fish by Terry Golson
The fish is marinated in lemon and orange juices and white wine to become deliciously citrus-infused. Serve it with greens or rice for a satisfying low-salt meal.
Per serving: 156 calories, 0g saturated fat, 4g carbohydrates, 29g protein, 0g fiber, 105mg sodium
Spinach, Pear and Endive Salad by Victoria Blashford-Snell and Brigitte Hafner
Simply leave the extra dash of salt out of this dish for the perfect salad to serve with grilled meat.
Per serving: 210 calories, 14g fat, 21g carbohydrates, 4g protein, 8g fiber, 367mg sodium
Whole Wheat Noodles With Rocket, Garlic and Chili by Deborah Madison
Try this spicy Italian recipe for a quick and healthy weeknight dish. It requires just pasta, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, grated cheese and arugula (sometimes called rocket). Eliminating the cheese will cut out much of the salt.
Per serving: 342 calories, 2g saturated fat, 41g carbohydrates, 9g protein, 4g fiber, 336mg sodium
Coconut-Spiked Pork With Quinoa and Peanuts by Judith Finlayson
This Asian-inspired dish brings in many wonderful summer flavors. You might include red quinoa for a more colorful dish, and opt out of adding the 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Per serving: 314 calories, 5g saturated fat, 28g carbohydrates, 21g protein, 4g fiber, 245mg sodium
Acorn Squash With Porcini Mushroom Filling by Jennifer Katzinger
This is the kind of impressive side you'll want to save for company (they don't need to know how incredibly healthy it is). You can follow the recipe exactly, or stuff different colored peppers if you'd prefer them to squash.
Per serving: 318 calories, 4g saturated fat, 62g carbohydrates, 9g protein, 9g fiber, 87mg sodium
Turkey Cutlets With Artichokes by Victoria Blashford-Snell and Brigitte Hafner
This is an easy version of the traditional veal recipe. It's also low-fat, high-protein and — if you don't add the salt and use no-salt-added tomatoes — low-sodium.
Per serving: 201 calories, 2g saturated fat, 15g carbohydrates, 10g protein, 5g fiber, 417mg sodium
Gingered Rice and Edamame by Domenica Catelli
Edamame beans make this vegetarian dish high in protein. Japanese tamari is richer, thicker and less salty than the soy sauce you may be more familiar with (some stores sell gluten-free tamari).
Per serving: 295 calories, 5g fat, 53g carbohydrates, 11g protein, 4g fiber, 229mg sodium

On Friday, September 17, in celebration of Mexico's bicentennial, the de Young is offering free admission to the permanent collection galleries from 5–8:45 pm in conjunction with Friday Nights at the de Young. In honor of the bicentennial, the de Young proudly presents an evening of film, fashion, dance and music to celebrate Mexico's artistic achievements. This event is organized by the Consulate General of Mexico in San Francisco.
FAMSF Blog
Generally the de Young's artist studio is the home of one artist and their process. Museum patrons can engage in a specific artist's technique and area of expertise. For the month of September, four artists of the Kearny Street Workshop (www.kearnystreet.org <http://www.kearnystreet.org> ) transform the Kimball Education Gallery. Throughout the month, one to four artists will be involving the public in their different processes.
On August 19th, I sat down with current Artist-in-Residence, Alexandra Blum, to learn more about her artistic background and the connection between teaching and creating art. Ms. Blum strives to humanize the private expereince by bringing in different techniques that transform museum going into a shared technique.
(Naomi Huth currently works as an intern for the Public Programs Department at the de Young.)
Friday Nights: Cultural Encounters at the de Young is excited to be the host of the closing of ME'DI.ATE's Soundwave Festival, featuring The Drift. We will celebrate all that is at the intersection of space and sound this Friday. And what better place to experience experimental sound than in the angular public lobby of the de Young Museum under the shadow of Gerhard Richter's Strontium?
On July 15th, I sat down with current Artist-in-Residence, Jeanine Briggs, to learn more about her artistic background, the journey and inspiration behind her found object artwork, and the ideas that created the participatory project of an early 21st-century Detritussaurus. Appearing in galleries, museums, public spaces, trade shows, corporate collections, and government offices, her work has been exhibited extensively in California and in New York City.

Circulate® (60 capsules, 30-day supply) | Blood Circulation Supplements
Item# CIR
Save 10% Plus Get FREE Shipping on Today's Order with AutoDelivery! What is AutoDelivery?
Seanol and Nattokinase Now in One Powerful Formula
Circulate® helps:
- Support normal circulation, blood flow, and blood viscosity (thickness)
- Support your body's production of plasmin, which reduces fibrin
- Maintain normal blood pressure levels
- Support optimal LDL to HDL cholesterol ratio
- Support healthy HDL cholesterol levels
- Maintain the health of artery walls
- Provide powerful antioxidant protection to your entire body
Maintaining a "healthy heart" goes far beyond just taking care of your heart itself. It's critical to pay equal attention to the other parts of your cardiovascular system—specifically, your arteries, veins, blood vessels, and your blood itself. In other words, your circulatory system. For some time now, a natural enzyme called nattokinase has been at the core of my nutrient recommendations for circulatory health. Now, for the first time, I've combined this hard-hitting enzyme with a remarkable undersea discovery called Seanol, along with mixed tocotrienols for superior antioxidant and cardiovascular support. Circulate® addresses your three top cardiovascular factors all at the same time: blood pressure, cholesterol, and circulation—in just two capsules per day.
Keep your blood flowing freely
Healthy blood flow means maintaining proper blood thickness or viscosity. Fibrin is one of the most important components of blood viscosity—it acts like a net to stop bleeding and is a normal and necessary part of the healing process when you cut your finger. Plasmin is an enzyme that helps dissolve and break down fibrin to keep your blood flowing normally. But its production slows as you age. Nattokinase resembles plasmin closely enough that it actually breaks down fibrin. Plus, it stimulates your body's natural ability to produce plasmin on its own, to help support normal circulation, blood flow, and blood viscosity. The nattokinase in Circulate includes the full research dosage of 2,000 FU (fibrin units) of nattokinase per day, which I believe is critical to its effectiveness.
A super antioxidant for healthy cholesterol…
The most exciting addition to Circulate is an incredibly powerful sea-based antioxidant called Seanol. It's derived from a unique brown seaweed called Ecklonia cava, which grows more than 100 feet beneath the sea, deep off the coasts of Japan and Korea. Seanol is truly a superfood, giving you both polyphenols, standard in most antioxidants, plus phlorotannins. These combine to give Seanol a whopping ORAC score of 8,368! This much antioxidant power would take pounds of broccoli to match. And where most antioxidants are water soluble, meaning they're expelled through your urine within about 30 minutes after they enter your body, Seanol is 40 percent lipid (fat) soluble, so it stays in your body much longer—outlasting other antioxidants and helping to protect you from oxidative damage for a full 12 hours. Seanol is particularly valuable when it comes to keeping your cholesterol in check. Two clinical studies found that 300 mg of Seanol a day for six weeks not only helped maintain healthy LDL cholesterol levels, but actually supported healthy levels of protective HDL cholesterol. And supporting HDL levels is one of the hardest things to do, but probably the most important thing in terms of your cholesterol health.
… and normal blood pressure
You already know that blood pressure is critical to your overall health. Ideally you want to keep your blood pressure at 120/80. Seanol goes a long way in helping you reach and maintain that "magic" number by actually helping support the endothelial lining of your blood vessels. Plus, it helps generate nitric oxide, which keeps your arteries open, relaxed, and healthy. In a clinical study, participants given 300 mg of Seanol per day for six weeks had measurably improved blood flow and healthier circulation. That's the exact amount you get in Circulate.
Seanol's perfect partner for total heart health
To round out Circulate, I added mixed tocotrienols. These are powerful antioxidants that fight lipid peroxidation, which can damage the cells in your blood vessel walls. As members of the vitamin E family, tocotrienols have tremendous antioxidant power to help reduce oxidative stress in the body and promote healthy blood vessels which in turn support overall cardiovascular health. This Circulate formula helps you not only improve circulation, but also support your healthy cholesterol levels, and maintain healthy blood pressure, all at the same time.

San Diego basketball star gets 6 months in prison
Saturday - 3/2/2013, 1:10pm EST
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Former University of San Diego basketball star Brandon Johnson was sentenced to six months in prison Friday for his role in a game-fixing scheme.
San Diego's all-time scoring and assists leader admitted unsuccessfully soliciting an unidentified player during the 2010-11 season, when he was no longer at the school. He insisted he never manipulated a game in which he played, though prosecutors alleged he sought to influence the outcome of games during his senior year.
U.S. District Judge Anthony Battaglia told Johnson, 26, that his record-setting career was tarnished, according to the U-T San Diego newspaper (http://bit.ly/13uKfoc).
"You disparaged the integrity of a university and disparaged the integrity of basketball," Battaglia said.
"You'll keep the records, but like Pete Rose, Lance Armstrong and Roger Clemens you'll have some explaining to do," the judge added.
Johnson, who pleaded guilty in November to a conspiracy charge, is the highest profile of the 10 defendants indicted in 2011 as part of a conspiracy that included a game-fixing scheme, an illegal sports gambling operation and marijuana distribution. Eight have pleaded guilty and five have been sentenced.
The government asserted that Johnson profited $5,000 to $10,000 for altering "approximately four games" during the 2009-10 season.
The U-T reported that the government's sentencing memorandum included excerpts of secretly taped phone conversations in which Johnson says at one point, "Wish I woulda did every game."
Johnson also discusses a February 2010 game against Loyola Marymount in which he did not shoot late in a game that the government claims was fixed and resulted in an estimated $70,000 worth of gambling profits for fellow conspirators. San Diego was favored by 3

Nicer than my old Coach 8 pocket wallet, and it has 4 more pockets! Fine leather and stitching. Pockets hold cards very securely - I expect they will loosen over the years, so starting a bit on the tight side is perfect. I'd not want to try to put two regular credit cards in one slot, but two laminated insurance cards works fine. Stitching is very finely executed. Interior bill divider is a high quality, but non leather, fabric of what appears to be something like nylon.

Initially I was reluctant to spend $100+ on a wallet due to experience with longevity of previously purchased wallets of other brands. But, to make things perfectly clear, this Bosca wallet has out-performed and out-lasted any wallet I have ever owned. Now 10 years later, it still maintains that luxurious leather smell and is still going strong. A sound investment in quality.

Quality Leather and Workmanship.
I have owned only a few wallets over the last too many years, Hartman and Bosca's, The Bosca held up better that is why I purchased the Old Leather 12 slot wallet. This may be the last wallet I will need.
The Old Leather is great quality and will look richer and better over time.

Bosca makes a qulity long lasting wallet
I have purchased two Boska wallets prior to this one. The first was close to 25 years ago. They were used hard and stood up good. I am sure this will be the last one I will have to purchase. The one I am replacing is starting to wear out after 14 years. I had it when I lived in China and traveled all over south east Asia. It is a great size wallet for all of the different sized currency I had to use. I like the lighter color cognac, it turns a nice rich color after years of use. Having the number of card holds is nice, you can spread your cards out not putting stress on one holder and having a less chance for it to tear. I do not mind spending the money on an item that will serve you well for so long. Anyone looking to make this purchase I would say that you should not be disjointed.

Very nice replacement wallet
An excellent wallet, very close to exactly what I wanted. It's great having a dozen slots for cards. Right now, it's quite difficult to get certain cards out of their slots, probably because the leather is still so new and therefore quite tight. It's a fairly large wallet, but for me personally, I need this and prefer something a little larger. Nice deep banknote area with a center divider. Can accommodate much larger banknotes than US dollars. Looks very elegant with nicely polished dark brown leather. Definitely a keeper.

excellent quality
like the quality and number of card slots, 14 or 16 slots would have been even better. What I didn't expect from the online views was the divider in the dollar bills compartment, preferred a single compartment, but minor issue. Difficult to find a wallet this size with the number of credit card slots, so glad that Bosca came through for me!

If you want the best wallet out there, buy this one - you will be very pleased.
I ordered this wallet because I had a Bosca wallet that I bought 18 years ago. This wallet is just as good quality and workmanship as the old one that I had, which simply wore out from 18 years of daily use. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a larger wallet. Fits back pocket great and holds all of my credit cards, cash and family pictures without being so "fat" that it is uncomfortable. If you want the best wallet out there, buy this one - you will be very pleased.

Excellent product
This is the 3rd Bosca credit card wallet I have owned. That may sound like they might not last, but each was probably over 6 to 10 years old and were used every day. It's a great product, well made with quality materials, and an excellent design for carrying credit cards. I recommend the product.

Young hurlers square off to conclude series
Gray, Ramirez take mound in rubber match between A's, Mariners
Sonny Gray and Erasmo Ramirez, two young right-handers off to promising starts this season, will face off Sunday at 1:05 p.m. PT at O.co Coliseum in Oakland as the A's and Mariners wrap up what turned into a three-game series.
Both clubs wound up staying with their original Sunday starters, even after Friday's game was postponed by unsafe playing conditions following rain that softened the infield in Oakland.
Tommy Milone, originally scheduled to start Saturday, will miss his turn in the rotation as A's manager Bob Melvin bumped Friday starter Dan Straily back to that spot following the weather issue. The Mariners moved scheduled Friday starter Chris Young into the bullpen as a long man for now, staying with Felix Hernandez on Saturday and Ramirez on Sunday.
Hernandez picked up the victory in Saturday's 3-1 win for Seattle, which improved to 4-1 and will shoot for its second series win of the young season in Sunday's finale.
Melvin's rotation switch was offset by having an extra day's rest for a bullpen that had to absorb 30 innings in two days, with a doubleheader Wednesday followed by a 12-inning victory over the Mariners on Thursday.
"That's the biggest thing, is that it gets you out of the routine that's important to you early in the season," Melvin said Saturday. "You play the cards you're dealt. Yesterday, I had a bullpen that probably wasn't anything close to full, and getting them a full day off, we'll be in a lot better shape."
Gray threw six scoreless innings against the Indians in the opener, with five hits, three walks and seven strikeouts in a game the A's wound up losing 2-0.
The 24-year-old right-hander was 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in two starts against Seattle last year, allowing just five hits and five walks with 15 strikeouts in 12 innings.
Ramirez, 23, won his season debut against the Angels on Tuesday while allowing six hits and two runs in seven innings. The youngster from Nicaragua was given the No. 2 spot in the rotation after a spring injury to All-Star right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma. Ramirez responded with a strong spring (3-0, 1.14 ERA in six games) and followed that up with his quality start against the Angels.
Ramirez sees no reason to change anything as he seeks his first win against the A's after going 0-2 with a 3.78 ERA in four prior appearances.
"I'll just pitch the same, use all my pitches, try to get first-pitch strikes, try to get strikeouts or ground balls," Ramirez said. "That's always my goal: just attack, attack, attack. It was working in spring, so why change?
"That's the same thing my pitching coach said. Don't get crazy. If something has been working all Spring Training, why mess with it now? Everything was working, so keep the same routine."
Mariners: Walker getting closer to return
Top pitching prospect Taijuan Walker threw 72 pitches in a 4 1/3-inning Minor League rehab start on Friday for Class A High Desert, and he will make at least one more start before being ready to join the Mariners.
The 21-year-old was slowed this spring by a sore throwing shoulder, but he allowed just four hits and two runs (one earned) with one walk and seven strikeouts against Inland Empire.
"Everything went great," Mariners skipper Lloyd McClendon said. "He was clean. No setbacks. We'll continue to move forward."
McClendon said it hasn't been determined yet where Walker will make his next start, though he said it'll be at a warm-weather site and he'd likely throw 85-90 pitches.
Athletics: There's no place like home
The A's could only shake their head over the latest O.co Coliseum situation after Friday's game was postponed due to poor field conditions after a heavy overnight rain when the infield wasn't tarped.
That incident just added to the facility's recent woes, which have include sewage backups and flooded clubhouses.
"Love playing here and I love the atmosphere that we have during the game, but it's one of those things where you never know what to expect," reliever Sean Doolittle said. "When something like yesterday happens, you're incredibly frustrated. But you're so frustrated past the point of being angry, you just have to laugh at it.
"The same thing for when the sewage backs up for the third or fourth time. Like, what are you going to do? Get mad again? You have to take in stride, because it's amazing. You never know what's going to happen next."
Worth noting
• Mariners reliever Danny Farquhar struck out four of the first 10 batters he faced this season, putting his career strikeout rate at 12.53 per nine innings. That is the fifth-highest strikeout rate all-time by a pitcher with a minimum of 225 batters faced. The top four are Craig Kimbrel (15.12), Aroldis Chapman (14.68), Kenley Jansen (14.06) and Al Alburquerque (12.96).
• A's catcher John Jaso has 15 walks as a pinch-hitter since 2010, the most by any American League player in that span.
