The acquisition of Range Creek has garnered much attention since the news of the event was made public in June of 2004. Since that time there have been numerous newspaper stories and a short documentary about Range Creek. This is the first time that an indepth, informative and thought provoking documentary has been produced by the broadcast media.
The Secrets of the Lost Canyon, produced by KUED offers a never before seen look at the canyon and leaves the viewer to draw his own conclusions, opinions and ideas for which direction the find should take in its care and direction for the future.
A premier showing of the documentary was held at the Geary Theater at the College of Eastern Utah with a reception held prior to the showing. The documentary featured interviews with the key players in the Range Creek saga. Ken Verdoia along with Nancy Green were the producers with Green doing much of the camera work.
Duncan Metcalfe has been a key archaeologist at Range Creek since the University of Utah Museum of Natural History became involved with the acquisition. This year he spent six months in the canyon. He is excited about the ongoing work by a graduate student to date tree ring samples to within a year. Metcalf said at the beginning of this years season in the canyon the high water made travel around the canyon difficult. The grasses also grew waist high this year, a marked difference between the previous drought years in the canyon.
The documentary starts with an aerial view of Range Creek which lies in Emery County. The residents of Range Creek lived there 500 years before Columbus came to America. The Fremonts were hunters and gatherers and stored grain high in the cliff tops and 800 years later they disappeared. Lowell Norris, an archaeologist from Harvard explored and documented around Range Creek in the early 1900s. He recorded rock art and noted sites where looters had already destroyed some sites. Norris in appealing for grant money said, Once these sites are lost they are gone forever. This still applies today in regards to the wealth of untouched sites found in Range Creek. Seventy pit house village sites have been discovered with estimates of 600 people living in these villages.
Metcalfe said 295 sites have now been found and all are basically 100 percent pristine. Kevin Jones, state archaeologist, said these pristine sites are an international treasure. Waldo Wilcox protected the canyon and resisted any temptation to loot the sites. Waldo was taught from a young age to respect and protect the remains of the Ancients. Waldo said he was half hermit, during his years at Range Creek. He worked to keep people out. His father Budge purchased the ranch which is nestled between the Roan and the Bookcliffs in the 1950s. Jeanie Jensen, Waldos daughter remembered her years at the ranch when they were snowed in and a plane from Green River would bring in the mail and supplies. It was fun, said Jeanie.
Range Creek is a prize area for trophy deer and the Wilcox family began a guide service allowing hunters a crack at the trophy bucks. Jeanie said she was taught by her father to let the Ancient people lie and they were never allowed to scratch on the rocks or deface the canyon in any way.
Waldo understands the need to leave those Ancients buried in the canyon alone, I dont want some damn hippy digging me up after Im gone, said Waldo.
Don Peay is an advocate for hunters and approached Congressman Jim Hansen when he heard the Wilcox property was up for sale. Hansen acquired the funds needed to purchase the ranch for the State of Utah. Waldo came down on the purchase price with the stipulation that he would retain all mineral rights on the land. In Dec. 2001 the sale was completed. This land acquisition joined a number of agencies at the hip with BLM, DWR, SITLA and the Museum of Natural History all being encouraged to work together for the good of Range Creek.
The acquisition came with the stipulations that wildlife and public access be given top priority. The remote location of Range Creek and its inaccessibility for seven months of the year has helped keep it in remarkable condition.
In documenting the granary sites, the Utah County Search and Rescue has added their expertise to the task of getting down to the sites. Rappelling down to the sites was a better option than coming up from below. This has enabled the archaeologists to view the inside of the granaries and the materials used to build them as well as the remains of maize inside.
John Valentine who is the president of the state senate is also a member of the Utah County Search and Rescue and has been an ardent supporter of Range Creek.
The mystery of how and why the granaries were built high in the cliffs hasnt been answered, but speculation of just storing grain or keeping it hidden from enemies was offered and the Native Americans speculated that these sites of stored grain may have been prayer offerings to the Gods that were not used but meant as a gift or offering.
Some of the granaries were so large they would hold 1,000 liters of grain which would require many trips up the mountain with baskets to fill the granary.
Undergraduate students have been working in Range Creek to document sites and they stay at the ranch house. They work in the field during the day and at night put information collected into the data base.
Kevin Jones said in 100 years he would still like the site to be as pristine as it is today. Metcalfe said some of his experience in the past has been to quickly collect and record data for sites because they would soon be bulldozed, or flooded as were the canyons surrounding Lake Powell, but with Range Creek he sees the opportunity to move slowly to gain the whole picture of what went before. Range Creek has the potential to be a long term research site with continuity, a rare opportunity.
One challenge is to protect Range Creek from looters. A lucrative antiquities market makes looting attractive to those wishing to profit from theft of these items. One looter in San Juan County was detected and prosecuted from the DNA left on a cigarette butt he had thrown into a pile of sift tailings at the site of the looting. Looters are difficult to find. Wayne Dance said, Archaeological resources are one of a kind and irreplaceable, gone forever, it is a unique crime and there are serious consequences.
Rudy Mauldin said, It is wrong and evil to dig up people. Its just wrong. We work to protect the right for these people to remain buried.
One full time law enforcement officer is in the canyon each day patrolling the area and watching for suspect activity as well as offering education and information about Range Creek.
Kevin Jones said, Range Creek is a vast library waiting to be read.
Those involved are anxious to protect Range Creek from the fate of nearby Nine Mile Canyon, which has been loved to death, according to BLM representative Blaine Miller. People have destroyed rock art and vandalized sites.
In the interim management plan for Range Creek it was determined that only 28 people each day be allowed a day use permit into Range Creek. This way the volume of traffic is controlled. Access is only by foot or horseback. It is a tough, dry hike and some people have been disappointed that the villages are not Mesa Verde like, but obscure pit houses.
Derris Jones said the wildlife habitat in the canyon is not the best and some dirt needs to be turned and reseeding done to make a better habitat for the wildlife. This turning of dirt causes concern with the archaeologists who are afraid undiscovered sites might be disturbed. For now, wildlife enhancement projects are on hold. Range Creek presents a very unique balancing act for the agencies involved.
Several Native American tribes claim the Fremonts as their ancestors which gives them a very keen interest in the canyon. They view the canyon as a sacred place. Native American consultants are considered part of the future plans for Range Creek. The Native Americans expressed their concern with being left out of the initial loop in regards to the canyon, but since have been consulted in planning efforts. Forrest Cuch, Native American said as he learns about the humanities he is most impressed with the similarities that exist between civilizations and the secrets to be learned in Range Creek can be a benefit to all mankind.
Another piece of the Range Creek puzzle could lie in the below the surface treasures. Natural gas has been found to be plentiful in Nine Mile Canyon and the Bill Barrett company is drilling there using horizontal wells which have less impact on the environment.
Waldo still owns the mineral rights in Range Creek and talk of buying these rights from Waldo has been kicked around, but no formal plans to buy him out has come forth. Waldo has commented that he will give the state first chance to buy his mineral rights.
Range Creek has the opportunity to be all things for all people with multiple use creating a balance for both archaeological and wildlife interests.
After the documentary was viewed a question and answer session was held. Kathleen Truman said there was no mention of preserving the 120 years of ranch history in Range Creek in the documentary. She would like to see ranch preservation mentioned in the management plan. Derris Jones said they are working to preserve the ranch sites and two new roofs were installed on existing buildings this summer.
In the filming of the documentary not everything could be included because there was so much information and some things were left out, but they tried their best said Verdoia. Steve Gerber is currently compiling a ranch history.
Layne Miller said he led 10 different tours into the canyon this past summer and there was a lot of excitement with waiting lists for tours for next year.
Metcalf said they have considered hardening some sites so kids could sit on the rocks, but these plans are just in the beginning stages as they have only been in the canyon for four years now.
Kevin Jones said these types of issues will be addressed in the management plan. There are trails appearing as people walk to the various sites and a plan needs to be visited of what route to take and how to get there.
In making the documentary Verdoia said they tried to remain objective and not take any sides with the issues facing the canyon as each side and their viewpoint is important.
Waldo was impressed with the documentary and told Nancy Green he wouldnt change a thing, the only thing hes worried about now is that theyll try to take me to Hollywood. The Secrets of the Lost Canyon will debut on KUED on Nov. 21 at 8 p.m.

'Gravel' drug arrests increasing
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - It's a growing problem in our area -- the drug "gravel" is popping up more and more.
We've learned about two busts in two counties in just the past few days.
Early Tuesday morning, the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office got a tip about large quantities of gravel being delivered to a home.
After deputies saw a vehicle pull into the home, they tried stopping the car, but the sheriff's office says the driver and passenger took off.
Officers found and arrested Beverly Henson.
When they searched her hotel room, they say they found the dangerous drug. "At that point, they found a large quantity of drug paraphernalia as well as gravel," says Leslie Earhart with the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office.
Another woman in the hotel room, Melissa Williams, was also arrested.

In Washington County, Tennessee, deputies made a gravel bust on Sunday.
They seized a 2-ounce bag of gravel and made an arrest.

"Last week marked the 20th anniversary of Religious Freedom Restoration Act becoming law, and over the last 20 years the law has stood for the principle that religious freedom is more important that any particular political priority," Hatch said. "I've long argued that Obamacare violated the religious liberty protections Americans hold dear, regardless of political party. The simple fact is that one of our country's founding principles was religious freedom for all, and I hope the justices on the court understand that this case will determine how important religious freedom is in American today and whether our country still stands for that guiding principle."
Under the Obamacare contraceptive mandate, employers who fail to provide this coverage must pay $100 per day per employee, which Hobby Lobby argued would cost the company approximately $1.3 million per day (about $475 million per year). One of the issues the Supreme Court will decide is whether this penalty amounts to a "substantial burden" under RFRA. The 10th Circuit ruled 5-3 in favor of Hobby Lobby that for-profit companies can be "persons" exercising religion within the meaning of RFRA and that the choice of violating religious belief or paying heavy fines is a substantial burden.
The case will be decided by the Supreme Court in the current term goes through the end of June 2014.

He Includes Inglewood Oil Field
By Lynne Bronstein
Observer Reporter
Although the Inglewood Oil Field near Culver City continues to be a controversial site because of the issue of hydraulic fracturing used in oil and gas extraction, there is what could be seen as a positive side to the oil field's resources.
This is according to the view of James Clad, current energy consultant and former assistant secretary of defense for Asia, who recently appeared in Beverly Hills to lecture the World Affairs Council on "The World Politics of a Changing Energy Landscape."
Clad's position is that extraction of natural gas and liquid natural gas (LNG) from shale deposits would have economic and political benefits for the United States.
The Observer caught up with Clad following his address and talked with him about shale, oil and gas extractions, and how Culver City's nearby oil field fits into the picture.
Observer: What was the gist of your address to the World Affairs Council?
James Clad: The U.S. is moving to be a self-sufficient country in [the production of] oil and gas, partially helped by the exploitation of shale resources, and will probably in the next eight years become a significant exporter of LNG.
Observer: Does this involve hydraulic fracturing?
Clad: In part. Hydraulic fracturing is known to be something that's very water-intensive. What I spoke about today was the change in technology, as I understand it, is being able to fracture the rock using different technologies that don't necessarily involve water.
Observer: What other technologies are there?
Clad: They're very new and recent but they use very fine particulate matter and they also use closed cycle systems so they're not leaving something behind. There's no question that the water demands of hydraulic fracturing now in 2013 are intense but the technology seems to be going in the other direction-toward less use of water.
Observer: Culver City is near the Inglewood Oil Field where there are active wells and there is a lot of concern among the residents about hydraulic fracturing–the possible dangers-earthquake faults etc. Is this technology safer?
Clad: I think it's an open book. I was very clear with the audience [at the WAC talk] that I'm not a geologist or a drilling engineer or even a petroleum economist. My principle source of interest is looking at what this abundance of oil and gas from shale will mean to our economic and political position in the world if it continues the same way. I was very clear in saying that there may be particular areas and districts where opposition would emerge but I generally and privately welcome supervisory interest by the community because that's the way to make sure people do the best they can to reduce the impact.
Observer: How much do you know about the Inglewood Oil Field and what is available there?
Clad: I've read about it on the East Coast but I admit I'm not a petroleum engineer. I know it excites a lot of interest and passion and it is in an obviously seismically active area but I don't know enough about it to take a position.
Observer: How would this benefit Culver City?
Clad: I think that, for Culver City, the whole Inglewood area- - as a child I grew up in Pasadena so I have an instinct for the area but no firm knowledge-what is interesting is that with shale, it's that shale deposits, shale resources, every time somebody looks there seems to be more of it, not less and it wouldn't surprise me if there is a lot of it. Whether it is something that people want to exploit – that's for a lot of people in play to decide. I can't say what should or shouldn't be done. I was looking at what major exportation of (LNG) would do for our political and economic position.
We're all playing catch-up with this shale resource. Up to 2006 the best brains in the energy industry were saying "We're going to have to import all of this LNG because we're running out of natural gas." That was only six years ago. Now there's been a complete change--terminals they were building for the import, the owners want to reengineer and change to export. So there's a policy change between the people who want to export and the people who want to keep importing. Keep the resource in the country; keep the prices down. Natural gas is a fuel and a feed stock-used for fertilizer and for making other things.
Observer: Many buses are fueled by natural gas. [Culver City's buses are fueled by compressed natural gas.]
Clad: I would be very happy to see a world in which transport fleets move over to LNG and energy moves to LNG. Between now and 2015-which is only two and a half years away-27 gigawatts of installed tower generating capacity is going to be retired. 127 coal powered plants are to be closed down. The impact of natural gas is not perfect-but in a world where we're thinking of carbon impact, natural gas has got to be a better fuel than coal.
We know from fracking all over the country that it causes earthquakes, pollutes ground water and sickens residents with cancer and respiratory diseases. In PA, where they have fracked for over 10 yrs, you cannot get a mortgage or homeowners insurance on a home within 5 miles of a fracking well. Property values? Just as insidious is the gross overexaggeration of how long the shale oil will last--it will be 10-20 years, max. The bigger the lie the easier it is to get people to buy into it.
11/22/2013, 2:38 pm
Who is this guy? Why interview for something he clearly doesn't know about either in general geology /petroleum fields. He doesn't know that most of the Inglewood is okay for conventional while the area beneath Culver City to PdR and BevHills is okay for longer more classic fracking not for conventional wells. He also doesn't know much about leasing subsurface properties and what is going on under the westside...so get someone that does know....
11/22/2013, 1:14 pm
It really does not require an expert to enlighten the public about the potential for economic advantage associated with drilling shale deposits for gas and oil. Clearly, if there was not a large financial gain to be had, oil companies would not be engaging in this activity. We need experts to weigh in on issues of importance to our community: health, safety, earthquake risk, toxic chemical pollution, etc. We also need expert advice about the effects on climate with release of addional carbon.
11/22/2013, 11:05 am
US natural gas to replace oil and coal? Here are the numbers: According to the latest 2013 EIA estimates , the US has 983 trillion cft of all natural gas ( 318 conventional + 665 shale). Total US annual energy consumption in all forms is 81 quadrillion BTU, the gas equivalent of which is 81 trillion cft. So, if the US were to go all gas only, it will have 983/81 = 12.1 years of energy life only. And then what? The US and the rest of the world is doomed if it is to rely on fossil only.

Mortal Causes (Inspector Rebus #6)
- Brief Synopsis:
- Inspector John Rebus hates the Edinburgh Festival. He especially hates that last Saturday night.
- Long Synopsis:
- He has spent years on the police force confronting it, avoiding it, and cursing it, but most of the time he still gets caught up in it. Nevertheless, this is an honored tradition of Scotland, and a happy one at that. But amid the blaring noise created by the music, laughter, and toasts of "Slainte" as glasses of whiskey are swilled, another tradition- one older than music, happiness, and drink itself- has traveled to Edinburgh and nested itself in the medieval quarter of Mary King's Close. There, beneath the streets of Edinburgh, Inspector Rebus finds the lifeless body of Billy Cunningham swinging from a butcher's hook and knows that his problems have only begun. When Big Ger Cafferty, the ruthless gangster whose sphere of influence extends well beyond the bars that the Inspector himself put him behind, discovers that Bill, his only son, has been brutally murdered, Rebus finds himself with more motivation than his duty can provide to find Billy's killer. But when the police pathologist reports that the young man was killed by professional hands, Rebus finds himself up against a force that could frighten Big Ger himself.

Business for the Environment Summit brings together hundreds of key business leaders to discuss green solutions Paris, 15 April 2009 - More than 700 leaders from business, civil society, international organizations and government are set to meet at the Business for the Environment Global Summit in Paris on 22-23 April to discuss ways of powering green growth around the globe. The event, now in its third year, is the world's leading international conference for business-driven action for the environment. As the world struggles with a deep economic recession, the conference will highlight the green solutions that can turn crisis into opportunity. Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UNEP, said: "Today's crises are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a transition to a low carbon, resource efficient society. Business has a key role to play in this transformational process, and the B4E summit is a crucial opportunity to bring together key decision-makers to sharpen and discuss their role in delivering a Green Economy." Participants to B4E will include the Chief Executives of Suzlon, Suntech, Alcatel-Lucent and Siemens France, as well as the seven inspirational laureates of the 2009 UNEP Champions of the Earth awards, who will be announced in an award ceremony on 22 April. With a focus on a new, green economy driven by leadership, technology and innovation, the summit will bring together participants from more than 30 countries to make the connection between the environment and global economic recovery. Delegates will learn how to identify and manage the challenges posed by climate change, and explore the many opportunities of investing in a green economy. The two-day conference will feature sessions on the Green Economy Initiative, innovation and technology, policy, resource efficiency, the extractives industry, and the global water crisis among other key topics. The event is also held in conjunction with the UNEP Champions of the Earth 2009 awards presentation on 22 April, which is also Earth Day. The seven laureates - all of whom are inspirational environmental leaders - are the living proof that amid today's environmental and economic crises lay unprecedented opportunities for innovative solutions, fresh approaches and dynamic leadership, from policy action to grassroots initiatives. The Business for the Environment conference comes on the heels of the UNEP Global Green New Deal Policy Brief, which advises policymakers on the key areas where investment is required in order to power sustainable economic recovery. The Policy Brief argues that investing just one per cent of global GDP, or around $750 billion, into five key sectors could be the key to realizing a Global Green New Deal that in turn can set the stage for a Green Economy The five sectors, from renewable energy to freshwaters, could in conjunction with other measures play an important role in reviving the global economy and boosting employment while accelerating the fight against climate change, environmental degradation and poverty. Notes to Editors: The Business for the Environment Summit is co-hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme and the UN Global Compact. The event is organized by UNEP and Global Initiatives, and supported by leading international organizations including MEDEF (the French Employers Confederation), the AFP Foundation, WWF, Greenpeace, Business for Social Responsibility and many others.In the margins of the summit, a Media Seminar, co-organised with the AFP Foundation on 21 April, will be the opportunity for journalists to learn more about climate change, the Global Green New Deal and how the environment can feed into global economic recovery. The seminar will feature Pavan Sukhdev, UNEP Project Leader on The Green Economy, as well as participants from the B4E Summit.

Lightweight & Stylish
"These sneakers are very lightweight and stylish. I wear them with a tennis sock and it feels as though I have nothing on my feet. Though I have only worn them for a short time I am hoping that they will wear well and last a long time as do most of my New Balance sneakers. Great purchase."

Very comfy and light!
"I bought these shoes for my Mom for when she works out. She really loves them! She says they're perfect for working out, because they don't have an over abundance of heft to them. They're also very comfy and her feet don't hurt after walking or working out. I call that a win!"

Love these!
"These shoes are very comfortable and lightweight. I wear them to work on days I just can't seem to put heels on. They're a cross between a regular sneaker and a fashion sneaker, so they're not bulky and they're also probably not great for doing more than walking. The fact that they weigh next to nothing is what initially sold me, but after wearing them a few times, the comfort is what will make me buy them again and again!"

Canadians first foreign players in China's professional volleyball leagueOTTAWA (November 5, 2012) – This Sunday (November 11), Canadian national team veterans Fred Winters of Victoria and Steve Brinkman of Bowmanville, Ont., will be among the first three foreign players to compete in China's men's professional volleyball league.
Winters and Brinkman signed this fall with BAIC Motors, a pro club based in Beijing. The squad finished fourth last season and has bolstered its squad this year with the two Canadians and Salvador Hidalgo of Cuba
"So far the experience has been great," said Brinkman, who has played more than 200 international matches with the Canadian national team, from Beijing. "There are some obstacles to adjusting to life in Beijing but nothing major. It's much easier with my family (wife and two children) and Fred and his girlfriend here as well."
The Canadians are going into Sunday's opening match unclear just exactly what calibre of play they will face.
"It's hard to tell just how good teams are in friendly matches," said Winters, the Canadian national team captain. "The Chinese players are good at what they do. However they are not accustomed to expanding their methods in training or in games.
"So we are bringing a fresh look."
"It may be not on par to most European leagues but there some strong teams," added Brinkman.
For BAIC Motors, the decision to recruit overseas was done for one reason only: to dethrone the 10-time defending champion squad from Shanghai.
"The message was made very clear to us that we are vying for the championship," said Winters. "It's a lot of pressure but the club has slowly brought us along so there is no feeling of panic. They've really helped us adapt to Chinese life."
The league will run until February with two matches scheduled each week
"I could see this league filled with foreign players and coaches in years to come," said Winters. "I think this is just the beginning of a very strong and powerful league."

Skip to comments.Priests, Abuse, and the Meltdown of a Culture. The lessons of an important new study.
Posted on 05/19/2011 7:00:15 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
The American narrative of the Catholic Churchs struggles with the clerical sexual abuse of the young has been dominated by several tropes firmly set in journalistic concrete: that this was and is a pedophilia crisis; that the sexual abuse of the young is an ongoing danger in the Church; that the Catholic Church was and remains a uniquely dangerous environment for young people; that a high percentage of priests were abusers; that abusive behavior is more likely from celibates, such that a change in the Churchs discipline of priestly celibacy would be important in protecting the young; that the Churchs bishops were, as a rule, willfully negligent in handling reports of abuse; that the Church really hasnt learned any lessons from the revelations that began in the Long Lent of 2002.
But according to an independent, $1.8 million study conducted by New Yorks John Jay College of Criminal Justice, commissioned by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and released on May 18, every one of these tropes is false.
One: Most clerical abusers were not pedophiles, that is, men with a chronic and strong sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children. Most of those abused (51 percent) were aged eleven to fourteen and 27 percent of victims were fifteen to seventeen; 16 percent were eight to ten and 6 percent were younger than seven. Males between eleven and fourteen account for more than 40 percent of all victims. Clerical ephebophilia (a sexual attraction to adolescents, often boys) was clearly a serious problem. But to label this a pedophilia crisis is ignorant, sloppy, or malicious.
Two: The crisis of clerical sexual abuse in the United States was time-specific. The incidence of abuse spiked in the late 1960s and began to recede dramatically in the mid-1980s. In 2010, seven credible cases of abuse were reported in a church that numbers over 65 million adherents.
Three: Abusers were a tiny minority of Catholic priests. Some 4 percent of Catholic priests in active ministry in the United States were accused of abuse between the 1950s and 2002. There is not a shred of evidence indicating that priests abuse young people at rates higher than do people in the rest of society. On the contrary: Most sexual abuse takes place within families. The John Jay study concludes that, in 2001, whereas five young people in 100,000 may have been abused by a priest, the average rate of abuse throughout the United States was 134 for every 100,000 young people. The sexual abuse of the young is a widespread and horrific societal problem; it is by no means uniquely, or principally, a Catholic problem, or a specifically priestly problem.
Four: The bishops response to the burgeoning abuse crisis between the late 1960s and the early 1980s was not singularly woodenheaded or callous. In fact, according to the John Jay study, the bishops were as clueless as the rest of society about the magnitude of the abuse problem and, again like the rest of society, tended to focus on the perpetrators of abuse rather than the victims. This, in turn, led to an overdependence on psychiatry and psychology in dealing with clerical perpetrators, in the false confidence that they could be cured and returned to active ministry a pattern that again mirrored broader societal trends. In many pre-1985 cases, the principal request of victims families was that the priest-abuser be given help and counseling. Yes, the bishops should have been more alert than the rest of an increasingly coarsened society to the damage done to victims by sexual abuse; but as the John Jay report states, like the general public, the leaders of the Church did not recognize the extent or harm of victimization. And this, in turn, was one factor that likely led to the continued perpetration of offenses.
Five: As for today, the John Jay study affirms that the Catholic Church may well be the safest environment for young people in American society. It is certainly a safer environment than the public schools. Moreover, no other American institution has undertaken the extensive self-study that the Church has, in order to root out the problem of the sexual abuse of the young. It will be interesting to see when editorials in the New York Times and the Boston Globe demand in-depth studies of the sexual abuse of the young by members of the teachers unions, and zero-tolerance policies for teacher/abusers.
So: If the standard media analytic tropes on clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in the United States have been proven false by a vigorous empirical study conducted by a neutral research institute, what, in fact, did happen? Why did the incidence of abuse spike dramatically from the late 1960s through the mid-1980s? The John Jay researchers propose that the crumbling of sexual mores in the turbulence of the sexual revolution played a significant role. As the report puts it, The rise in abuse cases in the 1960s and 1970s was influenced by social factors in American society generally. The increase in abusive behavior is consistent with the rise in other types of deviant behavior, such as drug use and crime, as well as changes in social behavior, such as an increase in pre-marital sexual behavior and divorce.
This is not the entire picture, of course. A Church that was not in doctrinal and moral confusion from the late 1960s until the 1978 election of John Paul II might have been better armored against the worst impacts of the sexual free-for-all unleashed in the mid-1960s. A Church that had not internalized unhealthy patterns of clericalism might have run seminary programs that would have more readily weeded out the unfit. A Church that placed a high value on evangelical zeal in its leadership might have produced bishops less inclined to follow the lead of the ambient culture in imagining that grave sexual abusers could be fixed. All that can, and must, be said.
But if the Times, the Globe, and others who have been chewing this story like an old bone for almost a decade are genuinely interested in helping prevent the crime and horror of the sexual abuse of the young, a good, long, hard look will be taken at the sexual libertinism that has been the default cultural position on the American left for two generations. Catholic progressives who continue to insist that the disciplinary and doctrinal meltdown of the postVatican II years had nothing to do with the abuse crisis might also rethink their default understanding of that period. The ecclesiastical chaos of that decade and a half was certainly a factor in the abuse crisis, although that meltdown is not a one-size-fits-all explanation for the crisis and the way it was handled.
The John Jay study is less than illuminating on one point, and that is the relationship of all this to homosexuality. The report frankly states that the majority of victims (81 percent) were male, in contrast to the distribution by victim gender in the United States [where] national incidence studies have consistently shown that in general girls are three times more likely to be abused than boys. But then the report states that the clinical data do not support the hypothesis that priests with a homosexual identity or those who committed same-sex sexual behavior with adults are significantly more likely to sexually abuse children than those with a heterosexual orientation or behavior.
The disconnect, to the lay mind, seems obvious: Eighty-one percent of the victims of sexual abuse by priests are adolescent males, and yet this has nothing to do with homosexuality? Perhaps it doesnt from the clinicians point of view (especially clinicians ideologically committed to the notion that there is nothing necessarily destructive about same-sex behaviors). But surely the attempt by some theologians to justify what is objectively immoral behavior had something to do with the disciplinary meltdown that the report notes from the late 1960s through the early 1980s; it might be remembered that it was precisely in this period that the Catholic Theological Society of America issued a study, Human Sexuality, that was in clear dissent from the Churchs settled teaching on fornication, self-abuse, and homosexual acts, and even found a relatively kind word to say about bestiality. And is there no connection to be found between the spike in abuse cases between the mid-1960s and the early 1980s, with its victimization of adolescent males, and the parallel spike in homoerotic culture in U.S. Catholic seminaries and religious orders in that same period? Given the prevailing shibboleths in the American academy (including the Catholic academy), it may be that no clinically or statistically demonstrable linkage will be found, but it strains credulity to suggest that there wasnt a cultural connection here, one that bears serious reflection.
Empirical evidence is unlikely to shift the attention of the mainstream media or the plaintiffs bar from the Catholic Church in this matter of the sexual abuse of the young. If would be a good thing for the entire society, however, if the defenders of the sexual revolution would take seriously the question of the relationship between their commitment to lifestyle libertinism and this plague. If the John Jay study on the causes ands context of clerical-sexual-abuse problems in the Catholic Church prompts a broader public reflection on the fact that the sexual revolution has not been, and is not, cost-free, and that its victims are often the vulnerable young, then the Church will have done all of American society a signal service in commissioning this study that looks into its own heart of darkness.
George Weigel is Distinguished Senior Fellow of Washingtons Ethics and Public Policy Center, where he holds the William E. Simon Chair in Catholic Studies. His book on the abuse crisis, The Courage To Be Catholic, is available from Basic Books.
A complete and disgusting white wash by the Catholic church.
The only thing missing from there unrepentant report is, "the children were just asking to be raped."
I have to go throw up now.
The root is not pedophilia. It is homosexuality. As much as homosexuals complain and protest, it is the truth.
You don't just suppose, as has happened in history many times before, that 'someone' does not like the Catholic Church and wants to destroy it? So that man can be God? just a thot.
Satan hates the Cross and all it stands for.
I agree — further, that it is the Homosexual Agenda and the 60's mentality that set this all up as a way to 'change' (read, destroy) the Catholic Church.
Goes with: "Priests should be married,' 'the Catholic Church is a patriarchy,' 'women are hopelessly subjugated in the CC, marriage, etc.'
It is a fight to the finish, too.
I am not sure what side you are arguing. You say "Priest should be married". "Should" is too hard a word. "Priest can marry" is much better AND biblical. That one change might not help the CC but at least it would have the biblical stance on what the Bible says.
"...ephebophilia (a sexual attraction to adolescents, often boys) was clearly a serious problem. But to label this a pedophilia crisis is ignorant, sloppy, or malicious."
Malicious, because ephebophilia is so much less disgusting and evil than pedophilia? This report is pathetic and as trustworthy as a critique of the Glenn Beck Show paid for by Media Matters.
depends on your definition of "pedophile".
I agree with you. This is a whitewash, setting up "tropes" i.e. straw men, and then defeating those strawmen, leaves you where we started. There was systematic tolerance of sexual abuse of minors by priests, over generations, and nothing was done about it until the media got involved.
I do not agree that priests should be married. I am saying this is part of the 60s agenda to destroy the Catholic Church. That's why those things are in quotes.
Careful, you're going to get accused of "supporting child rape" now.
The Church hierarchy was mired in doctrinal and moral confusion all through the JP2 papacy. Weigel's attempt to whitewash his hero John Paul "the Great" is pathetic.
Also, the idea of blaming Church problems on society is backward. Christians are supposed to the leaven of society.
Would you feel the same about a 30 year old man who is attracted to 17 year old girls and a 30 year old man who is attracted to 7 year old girls?
No difference in the two as far as you're concerned?
They should call this report the John Gay study.
The only thing missing from there unrepentant report is, the children were just asking to be raped.
You didn't even read far enough to see who wrote the report. Nothing like being open to information.
What???! Not pedophilia??? This writer is nuts. Any man who wants to have sex with a boy 17 years or younger is a seriously sick pedophile. And more than half of the abused kids 14 years or younger! Unfreakingbelievable that this writer does not consider this behavior to be a pedophilia crisis.
This article clearly points out why this problem continues to go on decade after decade...too many people who could do something about it are in denial.
"Clerical ephebophilia (a sexual attraction to adolescents, often boys) was clearly a serious problem. But to label this a pedophilia crisis is ignorant, sloppy, or malicious."
No, it is normal use of the word in common language, as opposed to specialists. When men try to get oral sex from a 12 year old, the common usage calls that pedophilia: "sexual desire in an adult for a child." - Random House Dictionary
When the 12 or 13 year old is a male, and men have sex acts with him, it is a cross between homosexuality and pedophilia.
I don't think this is a case of Catholic priests becoming homosexuals or pedophiles, but of homosexuals and pedophiles being drawn to the Catholic priesthood. Maybe it is the theatrical aspect of being a priest, or maybe the idea of having authority over the young, or both, but SOMETHING draws homosexual pedophiles. It might take a time where homosexuals - including celibate homosexuals - need to be thrown out wholesale to restore the good name of Catholics.
This article was done by National Review— not the Catholic Church. Did you miss that fact?
Thanks for the clarification. By the way, the Bible specifically says that they can be married.
Sex Abuse by Teachers Said Worse Than Catholic Church
Jon E. Dougherty, Newsmax
Monday, Apr. 05, 2004
In 2002, the Boston Globe uncovered a scandal of international proportions when it began running a series of investigative reports detailing dozens of cases in which Catholic priests had sexually abused scores of children.
The paper's damning revelations shook the church to its core, prompting outrage and calls for reform all the way from California to New York to the Vatican in Rome.
By year's end, some 1,200 priests had been accused of abuse nationwide, the New York Times reported, in an investigative report of its own. In the ensuing maelstrom, five U.S. prelates resigned. Also, bishops from Argentina, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Wales, Scotland, Canada, Switzerland and Austria were also forced out of the church. More than 80 percent of the church's victims were male.
Worse for the church, Americans discovered some of the most abusive priests were protected by upper echelons of the clergy. Repeated abusive offenses by men like Revs. James Porter and John Geoghan were covered up by the church or, when they occasionally were made public, dismissed as rarities or infrequent behavior.
These priests were moved around from diocese to diocese, given positions that limited their contact with children, or moved to administrative duties but they usually found their way back into a parish, holding Mass and coming in contact with more potential victims.
In the end, the Vatican's credibility, the church itself, and the entire Catholic faith, was damaged to the point where it will take decades to repair; the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, in a report on the nature and scope of the abuse problems, found almost 11,000 cases of abuse by about 4,000 priests and deacons since 1950.
"The heartfelt sorrow that we feel for this violation and the often ineffective ways with which it was dealt has strengthened our commitment to do everything possible to see that it does not happen again," said Bishop Wilton Gregory, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Now, on the heels of the Catholic abuse scandal comes another of historic proportionsone that has the potential to be much greater and far-reaching. According to a draft report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education, in compliance with the 2002 "No Child Left Behind" act signed into law by President Bush, between 6 percent and 10 percent of public school children across the country have been sexually abused or harassed by school employees and teachers.
Charol Shakeshaft, the Hofstra University scholar who prepared the report, said the number of abuse caseswhich range from unwanted sexual comments to rapecould be much higher.
"So we think the Catholic Church has a problem?" she told industry newspaper Education Week in a March 10 interview.
To support her contention, Shakeshaft compared the priest abuse data with data collected in a national survey for the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation in 2000. Extrapolating data from the latter, she estimated roughly 290,000 students experienced some sort of physical sexual abuse by a school employee from a single decade1991-2000. That compares with about five decades of cases of abusive priests.
Such figures led her to contend "the physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests."
Early Comparisons
The comparison of church-school sexual abuse cases began earlyyears before Shakeshaft's report was completed.
In June 2002, The Associated Press reported clergy abuse cases overshadowed teacher-student sex abuse cases, though the report stated the school cases were not "uncommon."
"Some experts point to what they see as a permissive attitude toward such relationships and a double standard because cases involving female teachers and male students are treated less severely," AP reported.
"The dynamics of the teacher-student cases are often different than the classic sexual abuse cases because they seem to involve consenting relationships between teachers and students," Finkelhor, director of the Center for Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, told the wire service. ". . . Clear boundaries have to be enforced."
Nan Stein, director of a project on sexual harassment in schools at the Center for Research on Women at Wellesley College, cited far fewer cases annually than Shakeshaft; she said she believes "several hundred" cases of student-teacher sexual abuse cases occur each year.
And six years earlier Education Week searched newspaper archives and databases, finding 244 cases in a six-month period. The allegations in that short 1998 study ranged from unwanted touching to sexual relationships and serial rape.
Currently, there is no single agency that tracks such incidents. And only a few national surveys, as of 2002, had been conducted on the subject of teacher-student sexand most of them were sexual harassment studies.
"None of these studieseither singly or as a groupanswer all of the reasonable questions that parents, students, educators, and the public ask about educator sexual misconduct," says Shakeshaft, in her draft report. "And certainly do not provide information at a level of reliability and validity appropriate to the gravity of these offenses."
The Death of Outrage?
What is also different about the school cases is the level of secondary media coverage it hasor, in this case, hasn'treceived.
Yet, media coverage of the Catholic priest abuse scandal was nearly wall-to-wall; every major television news program, every major newspaper and wire service, and most mass market magazines covered the scandal relentlessly.
But, reports the National Catholic Register, a leading faith publication, "a search on the media database LexisNexis for "Charol Shakeshaft" turned up no articles eight days after" the Education Week report.
An online search by NewsMax.com found similar disinterest. Google.com's news database, for example, returned just four entries for "Charol Shakeshaft;" two were Catholic publications.
The Indianapolis Star and Christian Science Monitor only briefly mentioned Shakeshaft's data; the later publication couched her remarks about schools in an article primarily rehashing the Catholic church abuse scandal.
Yahoo.com's news search engine returned only three; two were similar stories from the Indianapolis Star.
'Serious' Issue?
Catholic leaders especially are wondering why more coverage of the issue, as well as more action by government education officials, hasn't been forthcoming, in the weeks since the Education Week story.
"If the country is serious about [sexual abuse of children] as a national issue, we have to direct our resources to where the problem is worse," Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, an New York-based Catholic advocacy group, told the Register. "But instead what we get is a selective indignation that suggests there is an agenda here."
Indeed, even some judges express a more permissive attitude regarding teacher-pupil sex.
Case in point: In Hackensack, N.J., in the spring of 2002, a state judge sentenced 43-year-old teacher Pamela Diehl-Moore to probation for having sex with a seventh-grade student who was only 13 at the time.
Though prosecutors had argued for jail for Diehl-Moore, the judge in the case, Bruce A. Gaeta, disagreed. He put the onus on the student, saying the encounters with his teacher may only have been a way for him to "satisfy his sexual needs."
According to court transcripts, as reported by AP, Gaeta said, "I don't see anything here that shows this young man has been psychologically damaged by her actions. And don't forget, this was mutual consent."
He was referred to a judicial disciplinary committee.
That is one identifiable double-standard: relationships between male students and female teachers. For one, say experts, most school sexual abuse occurs between male teachers and female students. For another, male students tend to report sex with female teachers far less; they are treated less severely because boys see little wrong with the acts.
"I think our society sort of says to the boy: 'Congratulations, that's great. Everybody fantasizes about having a sexual relationship with an older woman,'" Bob Shoop, an education professor at Kansas State University and an expert witness in 30 court cases involving sexual abuse in schools, told AP.
Case Studies
Some of the most recent cases of school sexual abuse include the following:
In 2002, a California high school teacher ran off to Las Vegas with one of her 15-year-old students;
The same year, a Louisiana teacher was accused of having an affair with a 14-year-old student;
In the Bronx, one teacher was charged with the statutory rape of a 16-year-old former student;
In March, a 20-year-old Anderson, Ind. choir aide was charged with allegedly raping a 16-year-old female studentthe two had a consensual relationship for three months before the girl asked to break it off;
A week earlier, an Indianapolis Public Schools substitute was caught having sex with a 15-year-old student in a vacant classroom;
A Washington state teacher was convicted of 10 counts of sexually exploiting minors by persuading them to pose nude for himhe then uploaded some of the images to a Web site;
Also in Washington, state officials say 159 coaches of girls sports have been fired or reprimanded over the last decade for sexual misconduct;
An investigation found more than 60 instances in the last four years of Texas high school and middle school coaches losing jobs as a result of allegations of sexual misconduct.
What Next?
Some states have specific laws banning sex between teachers and students. Many others, however, rely on statutory rape laws, but they sometimes do little to protect student-teacher sex that is consensual or between an adult and minor child close to the age of consent.
For her part, Shakeshaft believes more study of the issue is needed, but that officials and educators should take the available data in her report to heart now.
"Some individual districts might have changed some policies or had an in-service workshop, but really there hasn't been any systematic response to this issue," she said.
"It isn't as if we need to stop and wait for a study. I do believe we know enough to take some actions."
The article was written by George Weigel a Catholic theologian.
No bias here...
George Weigel
George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, is a Catholic theologian and one of America's leading public intellectuals.
Professional Experience
A native of Baltimore, he was educated at St. Mary's Seminary College in his native city, and at the University of St. Michael's College in Toronto. In 1975, Weigel moved to Seattle where he was Assistant Professor of Theology and Assistant (later Acting) Dean of Studies at the St. Thomas Seminary School of Theology in Kenmore. In 1977, Weigel became Scholar-in-Residence at the World Without War Council of Greater Seattle, a position he held until 1984. In 1984-85 Weigel was a fellow of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. There, he wrote Tranquillitas Ordinis: The Present Failure and Future Promise of American Catholic Thought on War and Peace (Oxford University Press, 1987).
Pedophilia is part of the problem, but it is almost always homo-pedophilia along with homo-hebephilia and adult homosexuality. Fags took over the Catholic seminaries and opened the floodgates to perverts while keeping heterosexuals out. A gay cabal propelled homosexual priests to the top rank as bishops. These gay bishops did not move against pedophiles because the bishops themselves were subject to blackmail. As this latest whitewash proves, the cover-up continues.
Nice personal attack. Let me know when you have something of value to add to the conversation.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
According to the study, 73% involved kids under 15. My youngest daughter is 13...and yes, she is a child. It is not "ignorant, sloppy, or malicious" to call it pedophilia, but it should also be emphasized it is primarily homosexual pedophilia.
"Ephebophilia" does NOT describe the problem.
"Ephebophilia is the sexual preference of adults for mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19...
...The term has been described by Frenchman Félix Buffière in 1980[12] and Pakistani scholar Tariq Rahman,[13] who argued that "ephebophilia" should be used in preference to "homosexuality" when describing the aesthetic and erotic interest of adult men in adolescent boys in classical Persian, Turkish or Urdu literature...
...Generally, the preference is not regarded by psychologists as a pathology when it does not interfere with other major areas of one's life, and is not listed by name as a mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition..."
Ephebophilia is a term invented so homosexuals can pretend they don't have a tendency to prey on the young. It is a 'gay rights' term used so homosexual activists can say there is no link between homosexuality and pedophilia.
See? There is nothing wrong with ephebophilia, and that is what the author claims is the problem - in spite of the fact that 73% of cases involved those UNDER 15!
If the standard for added value to a conversation is: "I have to go throw up now", then there is literally nothing I could post that would not add superior value.
Source for all of that?? Or are you fabricating it?
Malicious, because it sweeps the truth under the carpet, and malicious, because it's being propagated, in many cases, by parties which hate the Church but have no problem with homosexual ephebophilia.
The truth is that this is precisely a homosexual problem, caused by letting homosexuals into the priesthood. People who want to normalize homosexual behavior don't want you to know that.
Did you miss the word" credible" in the above statement for 2010?
Credible does not mean listing the false cases too. But then I have asked you once for a souce. Now I am asking you twice. Where did you get that diatribe?
Just some anecdotal information here: I have been told by at least 7 of my own personal friends of attempted seduction or rape by catholic priests when they were boys and active in the CC. None of these guys have anything to do with the CC now.
George Weigel is a writer. He is not the Catholic Church. I believe you said above "whitewash by the Catholic Church." Is that correct?
Which may be his own blog or not.
And that blog's sources seem to be sometimes sourced, sometimes not.
And the sourcing seems to be sometimes from credible sources, sometimes not.
I call BS. If these liberal bishops are not still in cover-up mode, why do they continue denying the homosexual infestation? These shepherds are hirelings. (John 10:13). I would hope to see an honest bishop stand up an denounce this pathetic study
If you have facts that dispute their findings, present them.
"I have to go throw up now" just tells me that you'd rather shoot the messenger.
The same study also shows that only 149 priests -- that's one in 750 -- accounted for fully 1/4 of all verified abuse cases.
First of all, many are married. There are plenty of converted Anglican Priests AND many more Eastern Catholic Priests (full communion with the Pope, mostly married, not converts). So the issue is just with the various orders of Priests not allowing it. Over all there is not a prohibition on married Priests. The Church's rule not mine!
I think the historical reason for the prohibition of priest marrying is well understood. We didn't want priesthoods passing from father to son. In fact, if you look at a lot of early church writings it talks about excluding people from being Bishop if their family wasn't in order.
I am Anglican, and we say our church is built on Tradition, Scripture, and Reason. LIke the Catholic Church we hold Marriage as a sacrament. It makes no sense to me to say that Priests can not participate in one of the sacraments. In fact, I don't think it does to Catholics either - they get around this by saying that the Priest is necessary for the sacrament of marriage between two people to occur. So they are participating in the sacrament just not in their own marriage. At least that is what Catholic priests have explained to me. The church is a little schizophrenic on this - because when not talking about Priests being unable to participate it is just said that they are the chief witness and the couple are the givers of the sacrament. My marriage for instance isn't valid according to the Catholic Church (my priest was Anglican).
This tradition is not based on scripture but has a clear historical purpose that is no longer necessary, wasn't universal in the church until around 1000 years ago, and isn't even now universally enforced but is still dictating other major changes to doctrinal believes. Yet, more Catholics support women priests than married priests.
Yup. That sounds about right. They can make up new terms until the cows come home. It doesn't change the fact that these are some seriously twisted dudes.
And that happened in 2010? Somehow I doubt it.
Maybe of the cases (and I'm not condoning the molestation of children) were false and proven so in court. Only a small number of priests were ever found guilty.
You are aware, though, aren't you that the press hates the Catholic Church? So we get the news (negative news, that is) about the Catholic Church and other abuse cases in other denominations are not reported.
"The Conference, through the Board, commissioned a research group at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice of the City University of New York to produce a descriptive study through a comprehensive survey of all dioceses and religious orders in the United States. These surveys requested detailed information about the number of allegations of sexual abuse of minors by priests, the nature of the alleged abuse, responses of Church leaders to allegations of abuse, and many other areas.7 The applicable time period is 1950 to 2002."
This study was based on self-reporting. That may be why most of the cases involved priests who had died...and why there is a dramatic drop-off in incidents occurring within the last 30 years. Guess no one wanted to report that they had pedophile priests still in their diocese.
The other possible explanation is that the problem is gone - but to conclude that based on this study would be foolish.
And I knowpersonally of at least two priests who were accused falsely.
Does anyone know if the writer is describing confirmed sexual abuse, or some diluted catch all category?
Fact: The John Gay study denied that homosexuality caused the problem.
Do you support this contention?
Have you not noticed that the bishops that Pope Benedict SVI is putting in place in the United States are quite conservative and pro-life.
Are you not aware, either, of the rigorous examination that seminarians undergo? Two day psyche exams, character witnesses galore, personal interviews by many — and these go on for days and days........and then the seminarian gets to study for SEVEN or EIGHT years before being ordained?
Then you should support dealing with the problem instead of running away from it. All priests became suspect and many souls lost the faith.

|Cloud computing offers CFOs new opportunities to help the enterprise grow, but presents new challenges around governance, risk, and compliance.
Cloud computing is mature enough to be generating billions of dollars of revenue for Automatic Data Processing (ADP), Amazon.com, salesforce.com, and other well-known companies, yet young enough to be misunderstood by many in the C-suite, including chief financial officers (CFOs).
The grace period is just about over.
Figure 1: The extensible enterprise is the combination of versatile processes and ecosystem integration that create a network of business platforms.
Click for full-size
Initially viewed simply as a way to create more agile, efficient IT organizations, cloud computing is fast becoming the means for a new type of growth based on an opportunity that PwC calls the extensible enterprise. (See the article, "The cloud you don't know: An engine for new business growth," on page 04.) Not just agile but also versatile, the extensible enterprise sits at the core of a deeply interconnected ecosystem in which customers, vendors, and business partners drive mutual growth via a network of business platforms, as shown in Figure 1.
In this way, cloud computing could become the most transformative technological innovation since the Internet. Business leaders who fail to leverage this potential may risk forfeiting a competitive advantage to those who do.
This article examines the CFO's role in creating the extensible enterprise and delves into the risks and bottom-line challenges he or she must manage. These challenges include the need for a faster and more expansive model-to-market mentality to match the speed and agility of the extensible enterprise. An array of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) challenges also are associated with cloud-related operations and the security of corporate data. (See the sidebar "Cloud-computing-related challenges for the CFO.")
A fundamental idea that CFOs—indeed, all C-suite members—must thoroughly grasp is how an extensible enterprise (by definition) requires exposing formerly internal capabilities to others in the company's ecosystem and taking advantage of the services offered by others. Because this idea impinges heavily on many decisions CFOs will need to make, the next section examines it in more detail before looking at how CFOs can play offense and defense in an extensible enterprise.

It's weird how one panel like that can you make you go "Hell yeah!!" Superpsyched now!
About the chapter though, it's nice that Shikamaru, Ino and Sakura get some panel time.
But, Minato appearing indicates that Naruto sensed him coming? He wasn't surprised at all. Does this also mean that the other edo kages arrives as well? And also Sasuke and Orochimaru?
It was supposed to be an okay chapter, lots of convincing going on nothing much, then BOOM!! Yellow flash just save the shinobis and the chapter.
The other kages might arrive a little late except probably Hashirama. It's Minato we're talking about here.
sig made by me
Very cool chapter I must say!
I loved it how Kakashi just Raikiri'ed the illusions and rejected everything Obito was telling him! So Kakashi will go on fighting, and he will keep in his heart Obito's feelings, even though Obito himself rejected them! He's boss! And Obito was officialy implied to be worse than "worse than trash"
The ending was simply epic: there you go Yondaime Hokage!!!!!!! I expected Naruto to drop his jaw, but judging from his reaction he must have sensed Minato quite well while he was in kyubi cloak mode.
However i have some doubts on this chpater: First...how come can Ino connect shikamaru to the whole battlefield WITHOUT A SPECIAL DEVICE like ninjas in HQ? Even her father, who was most likely a lot more skilled couldn't endure more than 20 seconds online...this is a bit off if you ask me.
ANd second...WHAT DOES MADARA KNOW??? He said that the jubi could have sensed the bijus inside naruto...all of them? How? How would he know about the gift from the biju to naruto?
It all depends on what the bijus gave Naruto in the first place. They must have given him their a portion of their chakra or something. Because the juubi wouldn't sense it otherwise I think
Nice chapter, Obito removing all his feeling does explain his personality, also makes me impressed at how he was able to act so goofy a Tobi without a heart. Excellent acting.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Obito il confirmed a hollow. Call the ghostbus-...i mean...the Gotei 13!
- Madara's words about having to take everything apart made me thing he was going to reign in the Jyuubi
- Was nice seeing Shika-Ino get some important screen time.
- Now everyone can do earth wall jutsu even Naruto & Sakura
- I already knew the Hokages where gonna come save the day somewhat so the ending wasn't a huge surprise.
- I'm sure Naruto in Kyuubi mode could sense them coming.
I liked the chapter but it wasn't really that epic. Glad the Hokages arrived so the next chapter should be epic.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
as far as Ino managing to communicate with everyone w/o the extra equipment, think of one of the entire series running themes..
each generation surpassing the one before. I do suspect there's more than a little extra incentive involved for her. and remember they've been running on Naruto's chakra for a while, so they should be relatively fresh chakra wise.
Edit: the FTG kunai Minato used was thrown there. (Note Sakura's surprise about it's arrival) but naruto recognized it for what it was based on some of the descrpitions hes gotten about how his dad used them. So unless Harashima has that good an arm to throw it all the way from where they were summoned, the other edo kages, Sasuke and Oro cant be that far behind
