Written By Unknown on Saturday 8 September 2012 | 22:40


Gabriel Vahanian, theologian, social criticism, 1961, "The Death of God: The culture of our post-Christian," gave a name to a movement apparently atheist but widely misunderstood theological, died August 30 at home Strasbourg, France.

His daughter Noelle Vahanian, confirmed his death.

Mr. Vahanian, a Presbyterian church attendance for all his life, he taught at Syracuse University, when a small literary publisher published "The Death of God," a scientific leaders who took the church to task for what is considered the trivialization of the Christian doctrine in secular era.

It has not been approved by Friedrich Nietzsche 1880-was the announcement of the death of God has received little attention outside of university departments of religion and newspapers like the Journal of Bible and Religion. (Guest reviews The Journal has established a dense read, but worth it. "Books like this should be written and read if the solutions are Christians," he said.)

But in 1966, Mr. Vahanian has reached a wider audience when Time magazine named the book as the forerunner of numerous works written in this period by scholars who belong to the world to call for the death of theology movement God. All have been struggling with some of the great questions of religion in world war II, said the center would have if people stopped believing? What religious values ??survive in a world postfaith?

Mr. Vahanian knew and corresponded with some of the others in the movement, including Harvey Cox of Harvard University, Thomas JJ Altizer at Emory University and William Hamilton, who was forced to leave his post to a faculty State of New York, after the Time article Rage seminar and later taught at Portland State University in Oregon. He died in March.

They were not atheists. Some felt uncomfortable with the name of their movement, as it is considered more of a rescue team in an attack team. They see their work as a continuation of research initiated by some of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century and the media, such as Paul Tillich, Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Mr. Vahanian, but distanced himself from the group and its aura Nietzsche, however, does not deserve.

"I had a completely different theological sensibilities of most of them," said Jeffrey Robbins, Mr. Vahanian son-in-law, who is chairman of the department of religion and philosophy at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pa. "It was an iconoclast and radical. But he is described as a permanent practice, disgusted Protestant Christian. "

Mr. Cox, professor emeritus of Harvard Divinity School and author of the bestselling 1965 book "The Secular City" - considered one of the fundamental texts of the death of God movement - Mr. Vahanian described as a "visionary" with a traditionalist vein.

"I do not like the idea about the claim that he could not know," Cox said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "He had too much respect for religious tradition."

In his book, Mr. Vahanian criticized efforts to modernize Christianity implicitly criticizes the Reverend Norman Vincent Peale, author of the 1950 self-help best-seller "The Power of Positive Thinking." Mr. Vahanian condemned the "positive thinking" and other doctrines that have reduced Christianity to what he described as "a tool for success."

Faith had higher goals, he said. And 'face was suffering, hydraulics awareness, addressing questions about God.

"God is not necessary, but inevitable," Vahanian, wrote in 1964 in "Wait Without Idols," sometimes displays a genomic test the patience of auditors (and leaving aside capital letters when referring to the deity). "It's totally different and totally present." S faith in him, the transformation of our human, cultural and existentially, is the question that is still upon us. '

Antoine Gabriel Vahanian was born January 24, 1927 in Marseille, France, one in four children Mestrop Vahanian Perouse. His parents settled there in the 1920's after fleeing ethnic cleansing campaign that has spread to areas Armenians in Turkey after World War I.

UCLA historian Alexander Saxton Dies at 93


When Alexander Saxton left Harvard in 1939, his academic advisor invites you to consult a psychiatrist. His parents were shocked. But Saxton desire to establish the conditions of his life would take him away from the ivy-covered halls are suffocating.

To appease his parents, he finished his university studies at the University of Chicago. Then the son of two professional has become a factory worker and union, worked on the railroad roundhouses, steel, shipbuilding and construction. He joined the Communist Party and wrote well-regarded 1940 the proletarian literature.

In 1950, his literary aspirations were annulled by Saxton McCarthyism and he changed course again, he earned a Ph.D. in History from the University of California at Berkeley and became a full professor at UCLA, shaken on Ethnic Studies and gained importance as the author of "The Indispensable Enemy," considered a classic in the study of race in America.

He continued to write well about retirement, the publication of two important books on their 70 and 80 years, including "The Rise and Fall of the White Republic" (1990), a historical study of white racism.

In declining health made it impossible Saxton write, walk and live independently, scholar and activist in a decision to end life altering: August 20, died of a self-inflicted wound of firearm home in Lone Pine, Calif., said his daughter, Catherine Steele. I 'was 93.

Steele said he regretted the decision of his father, but understand his reasons. "He spent his life in a way that supports their belief that as human beings we make decisions, choices and we are responsible for the consequences," he said.

At UCLA, where he taught from 1968-1990 Saxton, options include conducting heated battles for racial and ethnic diversity in the faculty and helped to create the nation's first Asian American studies program. He also contributed to provocative scholarship, one of the most cited journal in 1975 that his "blackface minstrelsy and the ideology of Jackson," which connects the minstrel shows of 1800, with the last racist ideology.

"Very few historians of this generation have combined a deep embrace of American literature, history, popular culture and politics," Gary B. Nash, a friend and professor emeritus of history, said the unusual trajectory of Saxton.

Born July 16, 1919, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, Saxton grew up in New York, the second of two children of Eugene Saxton, editor in chief of Harper & Brothers, and his wife, Martha, a professor of literature at the private school. They grew up in what historian Robert W. Rydell is described in a biographical essay as a house "of the middle class, a little" Bohemian ", where authors known as Aldous Huxley and Thornton Wilder were frequent guests.

As a child during the Depression, never hungry, but Saxton has seen many who did. Seeing the suffering sparked the desire to "know what life was like in the other America - the real America, as I thought, the U.S. industry - and write about their lives," he said in an essay published in Amerasia Journal in 2000.

After the war, he moved her and her two daughters in Northern California, where he worked as a carpenter building during their participation in leftist causes and writing novels, including the semi- autobiographical "Grand Crossing" (1943) and "The Great Midland" (1948).

His wife died about 10 years ago, and her daughter Christine died in 1990. In addition to Steele, a grandson survive him and a granddaughter.

In 1951, Saxton was called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, which has cost him to teach and write scripts. His third novel, "Bright Web in the Darkness" was published in 1958, but had no money. In 1959 he left the Communist Party, but he was nasty about it.

After obtaining his doctorate in 1967 he directed his thesis on "The Indispensable Enemy," a historical examination of ancient Chinese Century 19 in California, which showed how racism is essential for industrialization of the United States

In his later years Saxton participated regularly in Manzanar Pilgrimage, an annual ritual at the Manzanar National Historic Site near Lone Pine to commemorate the World War II internment of Japanese Americans.

"He was just an academic," said Chairman of the Manzanar Committee Bruce Embrey. "There was a tension between politics for him the real world and write about it. Was committed for life."

Former NFL owner Art Modell Dies at 87

Written By Unknown on Thursday 6 September 2012 | 21:42


In Cleveland. Monday night. For employment contracts of the past.

Along with his colleagues named Rozelle, Halas, Brown and Rooney - all pillars of a nascent league - Modell helped transform the NFL preeminent sport in the United States.

The Ravens first owner died early on Thursday, leaving behind a legacy that was safe uncontaminated by a decision that had dogged him for the rest of his life: his mobile team from Cleveland to Baltimore.

David Modell, said he and his brother, John, was with his father when he died peacefully of natural causes.'''' E 'was 87.

'' Football has lost one of its all time'', Detroit Lions owner William Clay Ford Sr. said. '' The contributions of the Art in the NFL during his five decades in the game are immeasurable. I think that art has done as much as any owner to help the NFL what it is today. Art was a pioneer, a visionary and a loving owner who always saw the picture and did the right thing.

'' Our game would not be what it is today if not for Art Modell.''

Modell spent 43 years as an NFL owner, overseeing the Browns from 1961 until the team moved to Baltimore in 1996. Hel he served as president of the League from 1967 to '69, he helped develop the first collective bargaining agreement with the players in 1968 and was the key man for lucrative contracts in the NFL with chains television.

Long before his Ravens won the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2001, teamed up with Modell Lombardi, the commissioner Pete Rozelle and others to lay the foundation for the success of the league.

'' Art Modell was an influential member of the Commissioner Rozelle `kitchen cabinet 'for many years, along with Dan Rooney and the late Tex Schramm,'' said Joe Browne, the largest player in the role of the office of the alloy. '' Ironically, art is the only member of this group is not enshrined in Canton. Hopefully the Hall of Fame selectors media rectify that oversight in the near future -. Not as an emotional reaction to the death of art, but as a legitimate reflection of his long contribution to the NFL''

Commissioner Roger Goodell NFL praised the work of Modell in the league, gaining momentum as it was half a century ago.

'' Art Modell leadership has been an important part of the success of the NFL during the explosive growth of the league during the 1960's and beyond,'' Goodell said in a statement. '' Art was a visionary who understood the vital role vision massive NFL games on broadcast television could have on the growth of the NFL.''

But Modell's reputation has taken a blow from which it could not recover when he retired from the Cleveland Browns as a result of a series of secret talks with officials from the city of Baltimore. The move was not made because of the low turnout in Cleveland, Baltimore, but because it gave the opportunity for a better deal.

It is widely believed that the movement is the main reason Modell died without admission to the Hall of Fame. It's been a pariah in Cleveland and a hero in Baltimore.

When was the Baltimore Colts to Indianapolis in 1984, Baltimore has 12 years pining for another team. After the Cleveland Browns left an expansion team, a new stadium and kept their colors and team history, thanks in large part to Modell.

Some NFL owners have other sources of income. Modell had his football team. Period. And even if the move to Baltimore helped keep afloat during a 'even though the end was a deal that made Steve Bisciotti a minority owner. Part of the deal was that Bisciotti would take a majority stake, and that's what happened in April 2004.

Bisciotti has since invested millions in equipment, funding the construction of a wasteful practice in Owings Mills, Maryland As a tribute, Bisciotti insisted that a huge oil painting hanging over the fireplace Modell in the entrance to the complex.

Modell had an open invitation to come to camp, and though his health was declining in recent years, from time to time to watch practice, flip the field on a golf cart.

Lewis never failed to come and say hello, and their relationship was so close that happened a few emotional moments together in the hospital Wednesday.

'' The things I share in my ear, I will keep that between me and him because he is like a son and a father,'' said Lewis. '' I loved the man dearly.''

Born June 23, 1925, in Brooklyn, New York, Modell left school at 15 and worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard clean the hulls of ships to help her family in financial difficulties after the death of his father.

Night completed high school class, he joined the Air Force in 1943, and then enrolled in a school of television after World War II. He used that education to produce one of the first television programs scheduled during the day before moving to the advertising industry in 1954.

A group of friends led by Modell bought the Browns in 1961 for $ 4 million - a figure that he called'''' totally excessive.

'' You get like this sometimes,'' he said at the time. '' To take advantage of this opportunity, you must have money and friends.''

Modell work as a civic leader, including service on the board of directors of several companies, including the Ohio Bell Telephone Co., Higbee Co. and 20th Century-Fox Film Corp.

Modell and his wife, Patricia, have continued their charity work in Baltimore, giving millions of dollars in seed Maryland School, a boarding school for disadvantaged youth, Johns Hopkins Hospital and Kennedy Krieger Institute. The couple also gave $ 3,500,000 to the lyrics, which he named Patricia & Art Modell Performing Arts Center at The Lyric.
