Evangelical Leaders Reexamine Principles
A draft affirms the need for government to aid the needy and warns of excessive nationalism.
By Larry B. Stammer
Times Staff Writer
June 20, 2004
The National Assn. of Evangelicals is circulating a draft of a groundbreaking framework for political action that strongly endorses social and economic justice and warns against close alignment with any political party.
Steeped in biblical morality and evangelical scholarship, the framework for public engagement could change how the estimated 30 million evangelicals in this country are viewed by liberals and conservatives alike.
It affirms a religiously based commitment to government protections for the poor, the sick and disabled, including fair wages, healthcare, nutrition and education. It declares that Christians have a "sacred responsibility" to protect the environment.
But it also hews closely to a traditional evangelical emphasis on the importance of families, opposition to homosexual marriage and "social evils" such as alcohol, drugs, abortion and the use of human embryos for stem-cell research. It reaffirms a commitment to religious freedom at home and abroad.
In the midst of a presidential election year, war and terrorism, the framework says Christians in their devotion to country "must be careful to avoid the excesses of nationalism." In domestic politics, evangelicals "must guard against over-identifying Christian social goals with a single political party, lest nonbelievers think that Christian faith is essentially political in nature."
"This is a maturing of the evangelical public mind," said Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, one of the nation's principal evangelical schools. "Instead of just assuming an automatic alliance with a specific party — and that's been traditionally the Republicans — it says evangelicals ought to be more thoughtful."
The draft is being reviewed by 100 denominational leaders, seminary presidents and others and is subject to final revisions. But officials said that the draft, a copy of which was obtained by The Times, was essentially complete in its present form and would go before the association's board for approval in October.
Evangelical liberals and conservatives, who have collaborated for three years on the document, said they expected it would be approved. If the board approves the framework, it would be widely distributed throughout the country to churches, seminaries and para-church groups, such as the Promise Keepers. It would be viewed as an authoritative statement to guide them in their local political actions. In addition, it would become the main criteria guiding the association's lobbying efforts before Congress and the White House.
The association represents 52 denominations and independent churches. Evangelical Christians place great emphasis on what they call the "lordship of Jesus Christ," on "born again" religious conversion and the authority of the Bible. Leaders include Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and T.D. Jakes. The association encompasses denominations such as the Assemblies of God, Church of the Nazarene, and International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.
Evangelicals have been assiduously courted by President Bush, who recognized that they could be counted on in large numbers to vote Republican. Bush, a born-again Christian and member of the United Methodist Church, has won plaudits from both evangelicals and Roman Catholic bishops for opposing abortion, expanded use of human embryos for stem-cell research and gay marriages.
Bush also has advocated government funds for faith-based charities and other outreach to serve the needy.
But the framework before the national association looks beyond local charity programs and declares that evangelicals and the government must look at the underlying government policies and economic practices that could institutionalize poverty and injustice.
"When social structures result in such gross disparities and suffering, the Bible writers envision structural solutions, such as periodic land redistribution so that everyone can have access to productive resources and be dignified members of their community," the draft states.
"We're up to our necks in politics," said Ron Sider, co-chairman of the committee developing the framework and president and founder of Evangelicals for Social Action. "What we haven't done is a very good job of thinking through a sophisticated, integrated, comprehensive framework that is grounded in biblical values but takes in the complexity of the world," he said.
Mouw added: "Some evangelicals sounded like conservative Republicans with a slight religious gloss to it. And others … sounded like left-wing liberals who quoted the Bible more than others."
But under the new public engagement framework, evangelicals may find themselves sometimes at odds with political allies in the culture wars that have buffeted the country for two decades. Genuflecting to political realism, the new framework calls on evangelicals to seek to work with whom they disagree in common cause. The framework also recognizes that in the give and take of political compromise, they may frequently have to settle for "half a loaf."
Diane Knippers — co-chairwoman of the drafting committee, president of the conservative Institute on Religion and Democracy and NAE board member — said its contents might turn heads among conservatives and liberals who were not familiar with the breadth of evangelical faith and action.
"I think it will be a surprise to those who have a very stereotyped idea of what evangelicals are," Knippers said. "I also think that it helps the media understand evangelicals more accurately."
It is also a recognition of the tensions within evangelicalism.
A March poll for Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly and U.S. News & World Report found that 69% of white evangelicals said they were Republicans or leaned toward the GOP. By contrast, 84% of African American evangelicals called themselves Democrats or said they leaned toward the Democratic Party.
Some evangelicals are social conservatives and generally support the Republican Party. Others are social liberals and vote Democratic. Some of the association's member churches are historic peace churches that abhor war. Others have overwhelmingly supported military action.
The March poll, for example, reported that although 37% of white evangelicals said moral values were of most concern, 41% of all African Americans and 34% of all Hispanics said they worried most about the economy and jobs.
By grounding political action in biblical imperatives, the framework seeks to bridge such differences as much as possible, drafters of the document said. "It's an antidote to the selective list of issues that are normally trotted out every election cycle," said Richard Cizik, the association's vice president of governmental affairs, and project director of the new effort. "Our contention is you can't just take three or four issues to reflect the entire panoply of evangelical thinking."
In foreign affairs, the framework exhorts the U.S. government to step up efforts to promote religious freedom and democracy in "former colonial lands, Muslim nations, and ex-Communist countries." Reflecting a historic evangelical imperative to win converts to Christianity, the framework said that religious freedom should include "the right to change one's religion."
On issues of war and peace, it was more tempered, reflecting differences among evangelicals, some of whom are in the pacifist tradition of Christianity, and others who support "just wars." The framework makes no mention of the current controversy over "preemptive war" triggered by Bush's decision to attack Iraq.
"We urge governments to pursue thoroughly nonviolent paths to peace before resorting to military force," the draft states. Force, it says, must be in the cause of peace and be employed under historical "just war" standards. Such standards, however, are open to differing interpretations, those who drafted the framework said.
In any case, evangelical leaders said the framework represented a milestone in the movement of evangelicals from the insularity of a revival tent mind-set in the early 20th century to the political activism of the 21st century.
Cizik, the association's governmental affairs official, said he hoped that the framework would spur discussion before the November presidential election.
But its greatest influence probably will be over the long term, said the Rev. Kevin Mannoia, the association's past president. Mannoia said he set the framework process in motion because he saw a need for a coherence in the evangelical response to public policy issues. Mannoia's successor, the Rev. Ted Haggard, agreed and followed through.
"I think short term it probably won't have a lot of impact. In the long term it will have a fairly significant impact," Mannoia said. "It will gradually seep into the consciousness of evangelical leaders, and it will become a guiding light."

I'm glad other people are waking up to the fact that the world isn't necessarily a black and white proposition. I agree with Pete: what this country needs is a few more viable political parties!

>>>"Instead of just assuming an automatic alliance with a specific party — and that's been traditionally the Republicans — it says evangelicals ought to be more thoughtful."
True but if the vast majority of the candidates that support your positions are in fact of one party, it is hard not be aligned with that party in the minds of the public. This is particulaly true when there are big distinctions between the most conservative and the most iberal postions (as these are the ones that tend to get the most press).
Let me say that both parties do this. In order to energize the base, they often create an "enemy". Evangelical Christians, because they are generally social concervatives, are a good "enemy" for those who have a more progressive (their term not mine) social position.
BTW, I am proud to call myself both and Evangelical Christian and a Republican but I don't automatically vote for the Republican candidate in every election. I'd happily vote for a Zell Miller or Joseph Lierberman and did vote for Dodd while living in CT. And if Hillary decided to change parties in order to be elected to the presidency, I'd vote for another candidate for sure!

What did you think about the comments about Latino and African-American evangelicals tending to vote Democratic?
|Wed, 06-23-2004 - 7:23pm
I have a question for you.
With the issues split amongst the Parties, how do you prioritize your issues?
I guess what I am asking, is why does it *seem* that Conservative Christians are more worried about gay marriage and abortion (for instance) than the traditional Democratic issues of helping the poor, social justice, (for instance) etc? How do you pick which issues are really important, if issues on both sides uphold tenets of your faith? (Hope I am being clear here). Lesser of two evils? And if so, then how do you go about ranking such evils?
lol, I read the article and got scared that I would actually start liking conservatives, lol. =) I think it is a positive move, at least in the rhetoric. And to be honest, I think alot of the hard right christian **rhetoric** is what is making difficult for non-christians to see the right as compassionate.

Some of it is not just prioritizing its who does what. A great deal of my attitudes about the parties is not if we help the poor but WHO does it and HOW it is done. I have little faith in large governement agencies that are generally impersonal. Welfare is an example. One reason I support faith-based organizations I see then as a way to solve social problems in a cost-effective way - because the people involved see it as a calling, a mission and not just a "job". They really WANT to help these people overcome the physical, emotional and spiritual nature of poverty not just mitigate the physical side of poverty which is all the government does.
It's not that the parties issues are bad, but I feel their methods are bad.
I also believe that a society that values human life, supports traditional families, and rewards hard work and acheivement, will lead to a society that is better all around for everyone.
One issue on which I disagree with the Republican party on is gun control. However, even if I vote republican that doesn't mean I can't lobby my congressmen to vote against the party-line on this issue. I guess that is how many people reconcile the issues they don't agree with. I find that I disagree with the Republican party on fewer issues than the I do with the Dems.

Berry Tramel: College football still rules Oklahoma, but the OKC Thunder bandwagon is filling up quickly
The Oklahoman sports columnist Berry Tramel answered questions from readers in today's Power Lunch chat. Read the entire chat recap here. Participate in our Power Lunch chats Monday-Friday at 11 a.m. at NewsOK.com/sports
On the state's allegiance to college football and whether an NBA title from the Thunder would surpass an OU football national title in prestige: There are more OU fans than Thunder fans in the state right now. So obviously a college football national title is huge. But if the Thunder beats Denver, San Antone and, let's say, the Lakers. If the Thunder reaches the NBA Finals? The bandwagon would fill quickly, because what you said is right. Everyone in the state would jump on board. Here's the other thing. The NBA Finals are in June. The Thunder would be a runaway national story. The whole danged state would be going crazy. On whether the Thunder will sweep the Nuggets and win the next two games in Denver: No. I don't think it'll be a sweep. I think it's going to be OKC in five. Now, if the Thunder wins Game 3 Saturday night, I think the Thunder wins Game 4. Hard for a team to keep its chin up when it's down 3-0. On Oklahoma City playing Kevin Durant, James Harden and Daequan Cook together in Game 2: I thought that was interesting, too. It was really an offensive lineup. Ibaka, Durant, Cook, Westbrook and Harden, I think. When Denver goes small, Brooks can use that lineup if he wants to. Then in the final minutes, Thabo came in. But Cook played the whole fourth quarter. Which makes up for Cook not playing at all in the fourth quarter of Game 1. Chat Recap: Berry Tramel Thunder Bandwagon

Solid Product by Burton
I bought this sack for my Forum 153 cm and its perfect for condensing space and keeping it safe from the elements other then snow. The front pouch in just another cool feature. I can fit my tuning iron, wax, scraper, brush and base cleaner in there. That's perfect because I always want to be the fastest on the mountain and like to bring those items when I travel.
Also, I purchased another board that is 159cm and even though the bag is stated to be for boards that are 156cm, it fits in there nice and snug.
This is a great edition to my boarding gear and would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a solid sack for your board!!
Only bottom is padded
"Lightly padded" means "only the bottom is padded," not the sides or top. This bag is similar to the cheaper Burton Space Sack with the addition of a lightly padded bottom. Not quite sure what type of "protection" it would offer, so I'm returning it for a better quality bag. I definitely wouldn't put my board on an airplane with this bag.
So, I'm giving it a 3 star rating which means - It's a bag that I would use to store my snowboard under my bed, in my basement, or when traveling by car. Oh but wait - I don't need a bag to store my board under my bed, in my basement, or when traveling by car.
Great Bag :)
Came in great condition (brand new), true to description, shipped fast, fit our 158 board with it's bindings, and still has room for other stuff. I love the little pouch in the front for extra stuff too!
Great board sack!!

ESPN's Law says the Cubs have baseball's top farm system
Jorge Soler is one of the many reasons the Cubs have the top farm system in the game, according to ESPN's Keith Law (Photo by Stephen Green)
ESPN insider Keith Law unveiled his midseason top five farm systems Tuesday, and, based off his prospect rankings from earlier this month, the baseball world shouldn't be surprised to see the Cubs at the top of the list. The organization has three prospects in the top eight of Law's individual rankings in Kris Bryant (No. 1), Addison Russell (No. 4) and Javier Baez (No. 8). And Cuban import Jorge Soler checks in at No. 38.
Along with that quartet, Albert Almora, C.J. Edwards and Pierce Johnson have all generated buzz and graced various prospect lists in the past year. But the farm system goes even deeper than that.
Here's some of what Law had to say about the Cubs system:
I know Cubs fans have heard this before, but just wait 'til next year, because this club is going to get good in a hurry, at least on the run-scoring side of the ledger. The system already had the minors' best collection of high-end bats, and it added several more during the past seven weeks, including the fourth-best prospect in the minors in shortstop Addison Russell, who came over with promising left fielder Billy McKinney in the Jeff Samardzija trade with the Athletics.
The Cubs also added catcher/left fielder Kyle Schwarber with the fourth overall pick in this year's draft. It's a pick I think was an overdraft in part due to doubts he will stick at either position, but he has raked so far in limited at-bats, mostly against younger competition. They used the savings on Schwarber's bonus to grab several high-upside high school arms later in the draft, including right-hander Dylan Cease, whose elbow ligament injury might require Tommy John surgery but who was seen as a top-15 pick talent before his injury. Cease has a fastball that can touch 100 mph and at times a plus breaking ball.
Most of the successful arms in the system this year have been pitchers at low-Class A Kane County, particularly undersized Taiwanese right-hander Tseng Jen-Ho and 2012 draftee Paul Blackburn, which means the Cubs probably won't get the starting pitching help they need from their system in the next year or two. Fortunately for them and their fans, they have the bats to trade to acquire pitching from outside the organization.
Rounding out Law's top five were the Twins, Astros, Mets and Pirates.
Cubs name 3B Bryant, RHP Blackburn MiLB Player, Pitcher of the Month
(Photo by Stephen Green)
Cubs prospect Kris Bryant's offensive production in the last month has caught the eyes of everybody around baseball. Meanwhile right-handed starter Paul Blackburn has been nearly as solid on the mound. For their recent efforts, Bryant and Blackburn have been named the Cubs Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Month for May.
The 22-year-old Bryant led the Double-A Southern League in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging (.407/.492/.806), home runs (12), doubles (7), RBI (34), walks (17) and runs (30) in May. He had multiple hits in 14 of his 29 games, including two four-hit contests and four three-hit contests. He reached safely in 25 games and recorded at least one hit in all but seven games. He was also named the Southern League's Hitter of the Week twice.
A native of Las Vegas, the 6-foot-5 third baseman leads the league this season with a .353 average, a .460 on-base percentage, a .700 slugging percentage, a 1.160 OPS, 50 runs, 73 hits, 19 home runs, 51 RBI and 145 total bases, while his 36 walks rank second. Yesterday, he was named to the 2014 Southern League All-Star Game.
The 20-year-old Blackburn had a pretty solid May as well. The 2012 compensation pick went 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA in 28.2 innings over five May starts. He fanned 26 batters versus just five walks and held opponents to one or no runs in four of five outings. The righty gave up just one home run and posted a .250 opponents' batting average for the month.
Blackburn was selected by the Cubs in the sandwich round (56th overall) of the 2012 draft out of Heritage High School in Brentwood, California. The 6-foot-2 right-hander is 5-1 with a 2.33 ERA, 43 strikeouts and just 10 walks in 10 starts this season. He has held his opponents to a .234 batting average, including a .159 clip with runners in scoring position, while posting a 1.06 WHIP.
Cubs farm system ranks second in baseball

The Cubs haven't fared that well on the field at the major league level for a few seasons now, but they've still earned a well-deserved pat on the back for the transformation that's taken place at the minor league stages. On Wednesday, Baseball Prospectus ranked the Cubs the second best farm system in the game.
To put that into perspective, the list Baseball Prospectus unveiled during the 2011 Spring Training—the last before baseball president Theo Epstein and General Manager Jed Hoyer's arrival—had them ranked No. 23.
In the 2014 list, the Cubs trail only the Twins for the best farm system. Here is what they had to say about the club:
2. Chicago Cubs
Farm System Ranking in 2013: 12
2014 Top Ten Prospects: Link
State of the System: Thanks to a strong draft, clever trades, an aggressive acquisition plan in the international market, and developmental progress from some of the big names in the system, the Cubs became one of the strongest systems in the game.
Top Prospect: Javier Baez (4)
Breakout Candidates for 2014: Jeimer Candelario and Paul Blackburn
Prospects on the BP 101: 7
Must-See Affiliate: Double-A Tennessee
Prospects to See There: Kris Bryant, Albert Almora, Jorge Soler, CJ Edwards, Pierce Johnson, Dan Vogelbach
Farm System Trajectory for 2015: Up. While its likely that several of the Cubs' top prospects will get a taste of the majors in 2014, the majority of the talent will remain eligible for next season's list, and if you add to the mix a high draft pick this June and an extreme amount of young depth ready to make their stateside debuts, the system could take over the coveted rank of number one in baseball.
From the Pages of Vine Line: 2014 Minor League Prospectus, Pitching Depth

For many Chicagoans, February means cold weather. At Vine Line, it's all about the Cubs minor league prospectus. In the February issue, fans can check out frequent contributor Sahadev Sharma's player breakdowns for more than 45 of the organization's top prospects, from teenagers like Eloy Jimenez to elite talents like Javier Baez. We'll post some of the profiles here on the blog in the coming weeks so you can keep track of all the names to know in the Cubs highly ranked system.
Also from the series:
2014 Cubs Minor League Prospectus – The Elite
2014 Cubs Minor League Prospectus – Close to Big Leagues
2014 Cubs Minor League Prospectus – International Impact
The Cubs' last two drafts kicked off with position players Albert Almora and Kris Bryant, but the next dozen rounds or so were focused heavily on adding pitching depth to the system. While the Cubs still lack a knockout pitching prospect (something missing from most systems around baseball), they have some interesting arms acquired via bulk drafting, trades (both major and seemingly minor ones) and international free agency.
The draft strategy the Cubs have employed over the past two Junes has done two things: It's increased their chances of finding a gem who can be a big contributor in their rotation and given them options to fill the bullpen with arms who don't stick as starters. In the long run, this will save the Cubs money and keep them from investing heavily in relievers, who are notoriously erratic from year to year. That way, they can allocate funds in different areas while attempting to improve the major league ballclub.
It's easy for scouts to peg Black as a bullpen arm, because he's a smaller guy with a slender upper body. However, while he does have some effort in his delivery, he brings premium stuff, including a mid-90s fastball and a big-time slider to complement his very aggressive personality on the mound.
"I love watching this guy pitch," said SVP of Scouting and Player Development Jason McLeod. "He is a bulldog and a half."
The most common guess is that Black ends up as a reliever, with the potential to be an elite back-of-the-bullpen arm. But the Cubs are going to keep him in their loaded Tennessee rotation to see if his stuff will play up in a starter's role.
With a strong delivery, three pitches and good arm action, Blackburn has all the ingredients to be an advanced feel pitcher. He relies on plus command, but the youngster had some outings in which his walk totals perplexed the Cubs front office. While he has room to fill out and possibly bring his average fastball into plus territory, Blackburn still projects as an efficient, innings-eating, athletic pitcher even if the velocity stays where it is now.
He can move the ball all around the zone, but he often nibbles, which creates the high walk totals. If he can trust his stuff on a consistent basis, he has everything it takes to develop into a solid middle-of-the-rotation piece.
Recent Dartmouth grad Hendricks is a premium strike thrower who has the ability to cut up both sides of the plate with multiple pitches. He is the type of pitcher who throws to a scouting report rather than relying on pure stuff, and was one of the more efficient pitchers in the Cubs system in 2013. He lasted six innings or more in 19 of his 27 starts and did so while throwing a minimum of pitches.
Though his fastball isn't light, it isn't overpowering either, sitting at 88-92 mph. But his ability to locate the pitch with precision, combined with a cutter he can throw to both sides of the plate, keeps hitters from barreling him up too often. He's never going to rack up strikeouts, but with his four-pitch arsenal, he will keep hitters guessing and could fit nicely in the back end of the Cubs rotation.
Johnson did everything asked of him in 2013 and progressed just as the Cubs hoped he would. He showed steady improvement throughout the season and got stronger as the year went on—his velocity actually ticked up when he was promoted to Daytona.
Johnson is getting better at repeating his delivery, an important point of emphasis as he often finishes upright, causing his fastball to be up in the zone. He also developed more consistency with both command and his breaking ball. His focus this offseason has been on adding weight to his frame, as he looks to increase his workload. He should team up with C.J. Edwards to lead a formidable Tennessee rotation.
With Maples, the key is and always has been consistency with his delivery. After a very up-and-down couple of months at Kane County, Maples was sent down to Boise in July and turned his season around. It was the best many in the Cubs front office had ever seen him perform in terms of his delivery. During that time, Maples got his curveball over the plate and down in the zone, generating swings and misses.
Not only were the results different, but so was Maples' attitude. Observers say he looked more confident on the mound in Boise, with a chest-out bravado. He was aggressive in the zone, a stark contrast to the pitcher who seemed to be constantly thinking about his mechanics and worrying about getting hit, which led to nibbling and high walk totals. If the new and improved Maples can carry over this season, he may end up turning into the steal many thought the Cubs had when he was drafted in the 14th round in 2011.
BARRETT LOUX (RHP) – Loux brings a four-pitch mix, but injuries have diminished the stuff that made him a top 10 pick in Arizona just three years ago. Despite shoulder issues, he still proved competitive on the mound last season. He will continue his shoulder maintenance program with hopes of recovering some of the life on his once-plus fastball and other pitches.
TREY MASEK (RHP) – Masek is on the smaller side, so his eventual role could be out of the bullpen. He uses a fastball-slider combo and has a split-grip change-up. He will be given the chance to be a starter in 2014.
NEIL RAMIREZ (RHP) – The former Rangers first-rounder suffered through shoulder and elbow injuries in 2013, so the Cubs are taking a conservative approach with him. When healthy, he shows a typical three-pitch arm, featuring a fastball that sits at 90-94 mph and a hard slider. The focus is on getting him strong and healthy so he can get through a full season.
TYLER SKULINA (RHP) – Skulina is a big man who touches 96 mph with his fastball and has a swing-and-miss slider. At 6-foot-6, his key is getting consistent rhythm to his delivery. He impressed in instructs and could jump up the rankings if he continues to develop his change-up.
ROB ZASTRYZNY (LHP) – Zastryzny is a hard-nosed lefty with a 90-93 mph downhill fastball, plus curveball and solid change. He's a strong competitor who pitches with a chip on his shoulder and will attack the zone every fifth day.
Cubs RHP Blackburn named NWL Pitcher of the Week
Boise Hawks right-hander and Cubs top prospect Paul Blackburn was named Northwest League Pitcher of the Week for games spanning June 14-23, according to MiLB.com.
Though Blackburn did not record a decision in his first two starts of the season, the 19-year-old posted a 0.00 ERA in 10 innings of work. In his Hawks debut on June 15 at Eugene, he tossed five innings of one-hit ball, striking out eight. He followed that up with a five-inning gem in Spokane on Friday, allowing an unearned run on four hits, walking one and striking out four. He currently leads the NWL in ERA and ranks second in strikeouts.
Blackburn was a supplemental first-round pick (56th overall) in the 2012 draft and is rated the No. 16 prospect in the Cubs organization by MLB.com.
ESPN unveils top 10 Cubs prospects

All week long, ESPN Insider's Keith Law has been releasing his 2013 prospect rankings. His lists came to a conclusion Thursday, when he unveiled his top 10 prospects by team in the National League.
The Cubs' farm system—ranked No. 5 in baseball, according to Law—was likely rewarded for a group of high-ceiling prospects at the top of the list. In his team breakdown, Law praised the club's use of trades, international spending and the draft.
They've turned around substantially after trading Paul Maholm, spending lavishly on international free agents (when permitted) and drafting well in 2012, although most of what I like about this system is a good two years away. … They're another good trade deadline and draft class away from the point where you can begin to see a turnaround in the majors.
Law believes Arodys Vizcaino (No. 64 prospect overall), who is still rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, could be a nice addition to the bullpen in 2013, but he doesn't see anyone else contributing this season. Still, many of the other prospects on the list could jump into his Top 100 prospects in time.
Aside from Jeimer Candelario, whom I discussed yesterday on the list of guys who just missed, I could see any of these guys jumping into the top 100: Juan Carlos Paniagua, who sits in the mid-90s with a plus slider but has very little pro experience after two years of suspensions; Duane Underwood, drafted at 17 and flashing velocity up to 96 with a very athletic body and quick arm; or Arismendy Alcantara, a plus runner and thrower who might end up at third but shows pop from both sides of the plate.
Below are Law's top 10 prospects in the Cubs system:
1. Javier Baez, SS
2. Albert Almora, CF
3. Jorge Soler, RF
4. Arodys Vizcaino, RHP
5. Jeimer Candelario, 3B
6. Duane Underwood, RHP
7. Juan Carlos Paniagua, RHP
8. Pierce Johnson, RHP
9. Paul Blackburn, RHP
10. Arismendy Alcantara, SS

The Cubs have been looking to make strides from the ground up by bolstering a farm system many viewed as average heading into the 2012 season. Their efforts appear have caught the eye of at least one analyst. On Monday, ESPN Insider's Keith Law unveiled his 2013 farm system rankings (subscription needed), placing the Cubs at No. 5, up from No. 20 in 2012.
Law writes this about the North Siders' minor league talent pool:
The Cubs' rebuilding process isn't much further along than the [No. 2] Twins' or the [No. 4] Astros' in terms of time, but they spent extravagantly in the international market before the new CBA's restrictions went into effect last summer, landing the Cuban toolshed Jorge Soler (and the Cuban flop Gerardo Concepcion, but we're not going to talk about him), then later using their international pool money on the Dominican pitcher with an electric arm currently known as Juan Carlos Paniagua, who has gone through more names than the thief known as Parker. The Cubs also scored big in last year's draft, addressing the system's lack of starting pitching candidates while also bulking up its depth in outfield prospects.
Along with the additions of Soler and Paniagua, the Cubs drafted outfielder Albert Almora—a top-40 prospect in MLB.com's rankings—with the sixth overall pick in 2012. The organization then aimed to fill their pitching shortage by selecting hurlers, including high-ceiling right-handers Pierce Johnson and Paul Blackburn, with the next seven picks.
The Cubs have the second pick in the upcoming draft, so they could move even higher in future organizational rankings.
The Cardinals were the top-ranked system, with Minnesota, Tampa Bay and Houston rounding out the top five. Law plans to unveil his top 100 prospects rankings later in the week.
Cubs select Almora sixth overall in 2012 draft
As the Cubs brain trust will tell you, draft day is the most important day of the year.
The Chicago Cubs made three selections in the opening rounds of Monday's 2012 Major League First-Year Player Draft, taking high school outfielder Albert Almora with the sixth overall pick. The team also selected two right-handed pitchers in the compensation round: 21-year-old Pierce Johnson with the 43rd pick (compensation for Aramis Ramirez) and 18-year-old Paul Blackburn with the 56th pick (compensation for Carlos Peña).
The Cubs' interest in Almora, an 18-year-old out of Mater Academy Charter in Hialeah Gardens, Fla., might have been the worst-kept secret in the draft. Most experts expected the Cubs to take the high-ceiling outfielder, whom Baseball America named the best defensive player, second-best outfielder and the third-best high school player in the 2012 draft class
The six-foot-two, 180-pound Almora hit .603 (44-for-73) with 13 doubles, five triples, six home runs and 34 RBI in 25 games for Mater Academy last season. His 14 walks compared to just three strikeouts in 87 plate appearances helped him to a robust .677 on-base percentage.
The 2011 USA Baseball Athlete of the Year has also been part of six USA national teams and earned five gold medals. He is committed to the University of Miami.
"We scouted Albert extensively throughout his career, and he fit the criteria we were looking for," said Jason McLeod, Cubs vice president of scouting and player development. "He has multiple tools across the board and an incredible work ethic. We are looking forward to seeing him start his career."
Johnson, a right-hander out of Missouri State University, led the Missouri Valley Conference with 119 strikeouts in 99.2 innings pitched this past season. He was named the conference's Pitcher of the Week twice, helping lead the Bears to their first NCAA Regional appearance in nine years.
Blackburn went 8-3 with a 1.27 ERA and notched 87 strikeouts in 77.1 innings of work for Heritage High School in Brentwood, Calif. He recorded his first career no-hitter this past May, striking out eight and walking two. Blackburn is committed to Arizona State University.

Oil prices are an issue for the region, and the oil-based economies are now diversifying, says Menen. Dubai diversified quite early, he points out. Dubai was not much more than a "trading post" but as a result of its diversification and economic growth, it has developed a strong consumer market.
Additional growth is the result of activity in Afghanistan and the Iraq rebuild, says Menen. The goods are all going to those regions as a result and, with the aftermath of the Arab Spring and the markets opening up, that fuels growth for the region.
Asked if some of the visible anti-American sentiment extends to U.S. products, Menen says, "These are very competitive markets. It's more pricing that drives consumer sales." In Asia, for instance, you find more Asian goods because it is cheaper and the price sensitivity is the same in the U.S., so Menen suggests there is no inherent bias against U.S. products in the region.
With the talk of moving more manufacturing back to the U.S., Menen comments, the finished goods would be more expensive. "Somewhere, there will be a balance and what I think is going to happen is the components are still going to come from those areas with final assembly occurring in the U.S."
It will be interesting to sit back and see what happens, he continues. "During a [U.S. presidential] election year, you always get this uncertainty. It's more psychological than anything else."
Of course, he adds, the economic crisis in Europe over the euro is real. Unemployment there is a lot higher than it is in the U.S. "The social system is such that they have a bit of a cushion. But what we have seen at the moment is that consumers are not buying." Wherever you look, economies are quick to blame the EU crisis, unemployment, etc. continues Menen.
"The root cause of the problem is the price of oil because oil is such a basic ingredient it cuts across all areas – the cost of transportation – domestic transportation – is getting higher so disposable income is getting lower. So, again, consumer items are affected. At the same time, you go to the supermarket to buy meat and the price of meat is going up because the cost of transportation is going up." Menen's conclusion is that the only way to see an improvement is if oil prices come down.
"What is a concern," says Menen, "is that the oil price is no longer demand driven." Speculative trading has created this issue, he points out. Supporting this, he notes that oil shipments are down 50 to 60 percent and a lot of tankers are empty. "That clearly shows that the demand for oil isn't there. And yet, you see the oil tracking $110, $112, $116."
"It's a burden on commerce," says Menen. "We're not able to lighten that burden" or its effect on economies like Europe and the U.S.
On the subject of multishoring, Menen says, "All you have to do is look at Foxconn." The Taiwan technology company, which counts components for Apple's iPad and iPhone among its products, has reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding with the state government of Sao Paulo, Brazil to invest $500 million in new factories in the South American country. Itu, the area where Foxconn will reportedly build its factory, has already lured computer maker Lenovo to the region. Production at the Lenovo plant was expected to begin in November 2012.
"Globalization is here to stay," says Menen, though he acknowledges trends towards insourcing and nearshoring.
The same is true for China, he notes. China has been investing heavily in research and development in technology. China itself has begun to outsource to places like Africa, Menen continues. "It's a cycle you go through. All you have to do is look at the Pearl River Delta in China. That whole area and the region around Shanghai are becoming economically strong and, therefore, their costs have gone up. They are now migrating inland."
For Emirates and the rest of the Middle East, Menen sees China remaining a strong market long-term. "For us, the Indian sub-continent – we've seen quite a bit of growth there. It might be slowing down lately, but that is more insulated. Both China and India have such huge domestic populations, the domestic markets themselves can be more insulated economically."
He continues, "We have seen strength in Indonesia. Africa is another place that's growing." However, in some of these markets, including India, the lack of infrastructure is a problem in trying to reach those interior markets.
The rise of Dubai as a major hub is the result of the sheik of Dubai putting a lot of money into developing port infrastructure at the Jebel Ali port which, says Menen, is the world's largest man-made port. To position the port where the sheik wanted it meant reclaiming land. At the time, many people questioned the decision, says Menen, because there was an efficient port nearby. "In 1985, everybody said, 'This is going to be a white elephant'" recalls Menen. "And now, that port is so congested they're expanding the port."
"That's vision," Menen continues. Between 2004 and 2007, Dubai had 25 percent of the world's construction cranes, he adds. "The infrastructure they created there was all towards catering to world trade. Dubai was a regional trading hub; it's now become a world trading hub. That is the transition that has happened in the last 25 years."
For Emirates, U.S. expansion has continued. In 2012, it brought on three new points in Dallas, Seattle and Washington, DC. That brings the total points served in the U.S. to seven, says Menen. This provides access to the airline's cargo network and its partners. "It gives them access to a growing market," he points out.
While those flights are a combination of passengers and cargo, Menen says Emirates SkyCargo does fly freighters into New York under a code share with TNT. The airline had operated freighters into Chicago until the market declined. Once the market picks up, they will resume those freighter operations, suggests Menen.
Longer term, Menen says he is an optimist, quipping, "What goes down must come up." He follows with, "We are in it for the long term." There are already some signs of things picking up, but there will be a bit more pain as the industry sheds some surplus capacity and older airplanes. The newer aircraft are more reliable and environmentally friendly, says Menen.
"When we started out this year, we were quite confident the last two quarters of this year would be good, but we haven't seen any uptick at all. The last two quarters of this year are more likely to be slow." Menen adds, "That could all change if oil prices come down that recovery could be faster."
Long term, Menen sees air cargo turning up because product life cycles are getting shorter. Time to market becomes more critical. Menen sees more interaction among the different modes of transportation. "I'm a great believer that smart supply chain managers actually use transportation effectively," says Menen, offering an example. As a product is introduced, you use air. The second batch goes sea-air, he suggests. And, the next batch goes by sea. "So you have the immediate stock that goes straight into the shop shelf. By the time that's depleted, your sea-air has come through. And, by the time the sea-air inventory is depleted, the sea shipment has arrived.
"You immediately have a cost advantage in your first wave of production," says Menen, referring to the three-phase distribution example. "These days, if you get a second wave of production, that's a bonus."
Adding the cost of capital to the scenario, Menen comments, this is where, in smarter supply chains, air freight adds value. "Your return on your investment is faster." All of this, Menen concludes, is why he is not concerned about modal shift. And, he adds, the bounce when the markets strike bottom and start back up is always welcome.
While attending The International Air Cargo Association meeting in Atlanta, Menen and Emirates SkyCargo announced that since adding Dallas, Seattle and Washington, DC to its network this year, it had transported nearly 34,000 tonnes of cargo between the U.S. and points on its global network. Of that total, two-thirds were exports.
In his official statement accompanying that announcement, Menen said, "Our expanded services have not only boosted U.S. trade with the UAE, but also with its business partners throughout the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Africa, the Far East and Australasia."
The newest addition to Emirates' U.S. network is the daily non-stop flights from Washington Dulles airport. When Emirates made that announcement, Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline, noted, "Estimates show that our U.S. flights produce several billion dollars of local benefits each year, helping to open new markets that the business community is reliant upon, as the globalization of commerce is dependent upon transportation for passengers and cargo." wt

Product description
Wilde's only novel, first published in 1890, is a brilliantly designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and consequence. From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader to believe in 'art for art's sake', to its sensational conclusion, the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design. Yet Wilde himself underestimated the consequences of his experiment, and its capacity to outrage the Victorian establishment. Its words returned to haunt him in his court appearances in 1895, and he later recalled the 'note of doom' which runs like 'a purple thread' through its carefully crafted prose.

Back cover copy
Spellbound before his own portrait, Dorian Gray utters a fateful wish. In exchange for eternal youth he gives his soul, to be corrupted by the malign influence of his mentor, the aesthete and hedonist Lord Henry Wotton. The novel was met with moral outrage by contemporary critics who, dazzled perhaps by Wilde's brilliant style, may have confused the author with his creation, Lord Henry, to whom even Dorian protests, 'You cut life to pieces with your epigrams.'. Encouraged by Lord Henry to substitute pleasure for goodness and art for reality, Dorian tries to watch impassively as he brings misery and death to those who love him. But the picture is watching him, and, made hideous by the marks of sin, it confronts Dorian with the reflection of his fall from grace, the silent bearer of what is in effect a devastating moral judgement.

Sources in Canada told the Tribune on Saturday that the Coyotes have made their first postlockout move by buying out the final year of left wing Brian Savage's contract.
When asked about the report, Phoenix general manager Michael Barnett said, "We will make those determinations on Monday."
Barnett also said decisions regarding the team's free agents could be announced that day.
Savage, who signed a four-year, $14 million contract in 2002, was originally due $3.75 million this season. That number was reduced to $2.85 million after the 24 percent pay cut. He will receive two-thirds of that amount ($1.9 million) this year and a total of $8.4 million of the original $14 million if his contract is bought out.
In another move that could save the Coyotes some money, the Philadelphia Flyers bought out forward Tony Amonte, who they acquired from Phoenix during the 2002-03 season. Amonte signed a four-year, $24 million deal with the Coyotes in the summer of 2002, and at the time of the trade, Phoenix was responsible for an unspecified portion of his deferred signing bonus.
Managing partner Wayne Gretzky recently told the Toronto Sun a decision on who will coach the Coyotes won't be made public for at least another week, and Barnett said Saturday that will likely be the case.
"I don't anticipate anything happening until after the draft (next Saturday) in Ottawa, but it's not out of the (realm of) possibility," Barnett said.
Gretzky, who held a press conference at his restaurant in Toronto on Thursday when his 16-year-old daughter was introduced as the cover girl for Flare magazine, was quoted in Friday editions of the newspaper as saying, "We'll announce (the coaching situation) after the draft."
He also hinted to TSN, a Canadian television station, that he is leaning toward moving behind the bench, saying, "If you can't play, the next best thing is coaching."
The Sun also reported that Gretzky's mother, Phyllis, who has been undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer, received a good medical report Wednesday.
Gretzky couldn't be reached for comment.
Phoenix will play its 10 interconference games against the Southeast and Northeast divisions. The Coyotes will host Atlanta, Carolina, Florida, Washington and defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay. On the road, they will play Boston, Buffalo, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto.

Desperate for answers to your evil deed you search for the source of the murders. But as you try to solve the mystery you are pursued by Inspector Carla Valenti and her partner. Time is running out.

Q.931Q.931 is an ISDN connection control protocol, roughly comparable to TCP in the Internet protocol stack. Q.931 doesn't provide flow control or perform retransmission, because the underlying layers are assumed to be reliable and the circuit-oriented nature of ISDN allocates bandwidth in fixed increments of 64 kbps. Q.931 does manage connection setup and breakdown. In H.323 scenario, this protocol is encapsulated in TCP and sent to port 1720.

Will China Ever Dominate?
"Will China Ever Dominate?"
Ryan Avent adds a word of caution about the allegedly looming era of Chinese hegemony:
I also think it's far too easy to oversell China as the next superpower. Obviously, a developed nation with 1.3 billion people will wield immense economic, military, and cultural power. At the same time, it will be difficult for China to be clearly dominant. India, growing rapidly and with a billion people of its own, is practically next door. North America and Europe combined have over 800 million people (excluding Russia and Mexico), and it will be a long time before per capita output in China rivals that in North America and Europe. Asia has over 1 billion people in countries other than China and India. Latin America will likely continue to become richer and more influential over the next century, and so on.
I think that's right. I also think that a lot of analysis of this issue is weirdly complacent about the idea that if China can go from a per capita GDP of $2,000 to $6,000 that there's nothing stopping them from getting to $12,000 or $24,000. But there are lots of countries that have managed to become far more prosperous than present-day China without being economic dynamos clearly racing ahead. It's perfectly plausible that China could reach a Jamaica-esque level of prosperity and then stall out. Not necessarily stop growing, but stop super-fast catchup growth.
The interesting thing is that because China is so big, it doesn't actually need to get that rich in order to become the #1 economy on the planet. That wouldn't make it "dominant" but it'd be unquestionably important. Possibly the most important. But also very poor.
