The westbound and eastbound lanes of Cary Parkway are once again open after a culvert fire forced the road's closure while crews made emergency repairs.
The town re-opened the westbound lanes of Cary Parkway Thursday afternoon. The eastbound lanes re-opened on Saturday.
The town says the inside lane remained closed to allow crews to work on the median.
Cary Parkway has been closed since April 1 for an emergency repair project to replace a fire-damaged culvert under the roadway.
Tristan Zammit, 17, of Cary, is charged with a Class 2 Misdemeanor: Intentionally Setting Fire to Grass, Brush lands, or Woodlands in the case of the March 21 fire.
The fire caused damage to a 12-by-8 foot culvert that will require 100 feet of pipe to be replaced. The repairs will include tearing up the pavement, replacing the damaged pipe and repaving.
Zammit admitted to starting the fire, police said. If convicted, Zammit faces up to 60 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
A probable cause affidavit released last week indicates the suspect melted a portion of the culvert's protective layer of bituminous -- more commonly known as asphalt -- coating and reapplied it to the outside of the pipe to spell the name "TRISTAN."
"A direct result of the sustained heat source to the bituminous coating could have been a vapor which produced a flame," the affidavit says. "This flame could have been the origin of the fire within the culvert pipe and surrounding grass, woods and brush."
Investigators say Zammit texted a friend the day after the fire to show them what he had done to the culvert.
The N.C. Department of Transportation awarded Connecticut-based Lane Construction a contract to make repairs to the parkway.

From what I hear it is pretty good. I live at home so i am not exactly sure.…
The food is excellent. There is a wide variety to choose from. There are two main lines which change every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Then there is a line from which you can get an omelet in the morning or Chinese food during lunch and dinner. Next to that line is the vegetarian line, then there's a station where you can get a sandwich or wrap. Then there is a grill where they have pizza or pasta and burgers or some type of warm sandwich. Those are the main options, but there are several other things to choose from. The dining space is quite nice, too. There are many places to sit and you can stay as long as you need/want to.
Read MoreGreat cafeteria with a wide variety of food, but the unlimited plan that they recently implemented is not the best in my opinion. If you do the math, it is $27 a day/$9 a meal, and I eat in the commons maybe once a day. If you eat in the commons regularly, it is worth it, but you get a much better $9 meal elsewhere.
Read MoreOur meal plan is pretty great. It is unlimited which means you can swipe your card as many times as you want from 7-7 everyday. Hot meals are not served the entire time, but there is soup, sandwiches, salad, and some other foods that you can eat. Also included in the meal plan is a transfer meal to the Huddle. So, if you have a really busy day, you can stop by the on campus grill and get a 'free' meal.

Most colleges don't offer as many choices as Augustana - main dish, secondary dish, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads, wraps, soup, and stir-fry station. Every day. It doesn't get better than this! (And if you're on the go, you can stop by the Huddle, Augie's little restaurant.)

Mark Craig has covered the NFL for 23 years, and the Vikings since 2003 for the Star Tribune. He is one of 44 Pro Football Hall of Fame selectors. Follow him at @markcraignfl.
Master Tesfatsion is the Star Tribune's digital Vikings writer. He is a 2013 graduate of Arizona State and worked for mlb.com before arriving in Minneapolis. Follow him at @masterstrib.
Greg Jennings had questions. After seven seasons in Green Bay, the proven receiver knew he was in the mood for a change of atmosphere, for something new and different. And he was seeking to join a team where he would not only be able to produce big numbers but where he would also feel wanted.
But Minnesota? Becoming a Viking? It was a hard thing to envision at first. Ya know, the whole flipping sides in an intense rivalry factor.
Yet as Jennings headed to the Twin Cities in mid-March for his free agent visit, he made the obvious phone call. To Brett Favre. Who would know more about the Packers-to-Vikings transition than Favre?
So what exactly did Favre tell Jennings about what to expect with the Vikings? That's what CBS Sports Network's Jim Rome asked Jennings this week on his TV show "ROME."
Jennings' response: "He told me the pros and the cons. Obviously I asked him how it was over here. And he told me some of the things that I would like and dislike. But one of the things that caught my attention was what he said about the people. He said that I would love the organization, I would love the people within the organization. He said the facilities weren't the best but the people were great. The facilities are what you make of it. That doesn't make or break my decision and didn't make or break my decision. But the people would definitely make or break a decision. And the moment I stepped off that plane and met some of the staff, met Mr. Spielman, Coach Frazier, some of the other guys, Coach Musgrave, they were open arms. They were great. They were genuine, they were authentic and it drew me right in."
So here we are. Jennings is a Viking, almost certain to emerge as Christian Ponder's top receiver in 2013. And in his visit with Rome this week, Jennings also discussed his desire to feel wanted, his confidence in his new quarterback and his expectations for the team this fall.
Enjoy the video.
Every three or four years, a former Packers star decides to come west and bail the Vikings out of a gigantic jam.
Ryan Longwell filled a gaping hole at kicker in 2006 and went on to post six successful seasons. Brett Favre stepped in for a QB-starved outfit in 2009 and led it to within seconds of a Super Bowl. And now former Packers receiver Greg Jennings has signed on with a Vikings team that's bone dry at receiver and hasn't had a legitimate No. 1 wideout since Sidney Rice was catching passes from Favre in 2009. Jennings' deal is for five years, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Jennings doesn't fit Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman's normal parameters for a free agent. Jennings will turn 30 in September and has missed 11 games because of knee and core muscle injuries over the past two seasons.
But here's what Jennings is: Productive. Although he caught only 36 passes for 366 yards and four touchdowns in 2012, he did post 1,100-yard seasons from 2008 to 2010.
Jennings will be introduced during a press conference at Winter Park at 7:15 p.m. We'll have more later this evening.
Quarterback Christian Ponder is listed as questionable for the Vikings-Packers game tomorrow because of his sore right elbow. Ponder had limited participation in practice all week.
Cornerback Antoine Winfield is also questionable because of his broken right hand.
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said Thursday that he expected both to play.
Tyrone McKenzie, one of the team's top special teams player, is out because of an injured shoulder.
Listed as probable are running back Adrian Peterson (abdomen), safety Harrison Smith (knee), defensive end Brian Robison (shoulder), defensive end Jared Allen (shoulder), cornerback A.J. Jefferson (ankle), defensive end George Johnson (quadriceps), punter Chris Kluwe (left, or non-kicking, knee) and right tackle Phil Loadholt (knee).
Update: For the Packers, defensive end Jerel Worthy (knee) and wide reciever Jarrett Boykin (ankle) are out, and running back James Starks (knee) is questionable.
Cornerback Charles Woodson returns from a broken collarbone and is probable, as are wide receiver Jordy Nelson (knee), receiver/kick returner Randall Cobb (ankle) and running back Alex Green (hip).
Out means a player has no chance of playing (unless he's Brett Favre). Questionable is 50 percent chance. Probable is virtual certainty he will play.
Chris Cook is looking for redemption Sunday when the Vikings meet the Packers.
The Vikings' third year cornerback was torched during his rookie season by Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Cook, coming off early season arthroscopic surgery on both knees, was pulled by coach Brad Childress after Rodgers lit up the visiting Vikings for 166 passing yards in the first quarter of a 28-24 victory on Oct. 24, 2010.
Things got worse six weeks later when the Packers beat the Vikings 31-3 at the Metrodome. Cook gave up receptions of 47 and 39 yards to James Jones, and was pulled by Childress after Jones caught a 3-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Cook was yelled at by teammate Ray Edwards on the sideline, and after the game both Cook and cornerback Asher Allen were criticized by teammates.
Childress was fired the next day.
Cook missed both meetings last season after an arrest for domestic assault on the eve of the first Packers game, which he spent in jail. He was inactive for the rest of the season, and missed the Vikings' 23-14 loss to the Packers two weeks ago because of a broken arm.
"I've been looking forward to this game," Cook said. "My rookie year, I was coming off both my knee surgeries, and they were picking on me – a lot. I expected that coming off two knee surgeries. But I don't have knee problems now, so we'll see how it goes this week."
Cook said Rodgers is the best quarterback in the NFL.
"He's Brett Favre-like, but I feel he makes better decisions at times," said Cook. "He's crazy accurate, that's the thing that stands out. He can put balls in places the other guys can't put it in. It's amazing to me to me. Every time I watch him I think, man, this guy, he's great."
Holiday presents
Houston running back Arian Foster bought Segways for his offensive linemen, so the question about what Adrian Peterson will do for his offensive line has been bandied about at Winter Park.
"We'll see how it all plays out, how many yards he gets, when we win the game," said center John Sullivan. "All I'm hoping for is a good performance from him and our offense and our entire team. The playoff berth is all we reaIly care about. I don't really care about presents. I'm not too focused on that right now."
Robison, Winfield ready
Defensive end Brian Robison (sprained shoulder) missed the Vikings' 23-6 victory over the Texans on Sunday, which was doubly troubling to him because he played college football at Texas. He expects to play Sunday against the Packers.
"I'm doing much better, doing a lot of stuff hard in the rehab room, just trying to get it back," Robison said. "I feel like I got a good range of motion, it's just getting the strength back in it."
Cornerback Antoine Winfield, who fractured a bone in his right index finger, expects to play Sunday with his right hand padded.
Reliable rookie
The Pro Bowl rosters will be announced tonight, and Vikings rookie kicker Blair Walsh has an outside chance of making the NFC team. Walsh has an NFL record nine field goals of 50 yards or longer.
"It's one of those things where it happens, it's awesome, if it doesn't happen, keep on pushing," Walsh said. "I'm more focused on what I have to do in practice. Accolades are great and all, but this game is more important."
After a poor senior season at Georgia, it was a bit of a surprise when the Walsh was drafted by the Vikings in the sixth round. He has made 32 of 35 field goal attempts, however, and all 32 conversion attempts.
"I knew I was capable of doing it from the start," Walsh said. "The biggest surprise is the number of attempts we've gotten. Thirty-five attempts is a lot. It's a different beast at this level, each kick is so important, it matters so much when the game is so close."
Veteran Ryan Longwell, who was cut to make room for Walsh, tweeted his support for Walsh's Pro Bowl candidacy on Sunday.
"It was one of the most humbling things I've ever had said about me by anyone," Walsh said. "My response was 100 percent truthful -- guys like him have set the bar for other kickers who come in the league, and they hold us to a higher standards, and we try to emulate careers like his."
Ford added
The Vikings signed tight end Chase Ford to their practice squad. Ford, a rookie from Miami, has been on both the Philadelphia and Dallas practice squads this season. Tight end Allen Reisner, who has been on and off the Vikings' roster the past two years, was claimed by Jacksonville after the Vikings cut him on Saturday. The Jaguars also signed guard Mark Asper, who had been waived by the Vikings.

Does the narrative of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man make it a modern novel?...
Topic: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Does the narrative of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man make it a modern novel?
1 Answer | add yours
I think that the message that comes out of Joyce's work and the manner in which it is delivered both reflect the modern concept of the novel. The most dominant element in which this is present is how Joyce sees the world through Stephen Dedalus. When Woolf writes about the shifting of "human relations" into a new vision of the world, this becomes the driving force in Joyce's work. Gone are the "old" structures such as religion or national identity that used to define one's sense of self. In its place are "new" forces such as the "non-serviam credo" and the concept of the epiphany that force a fundamental shift in how consciousness is viewed. The stream of consciousness manner in which the first person is both everywhere and nowhere, simultaneously, and where structure and identity are both emerging from figments and fragments of perception are also representative of the modern novel. The idea of the individual being able to struggle with the lack of totality in the world and seeking to fully understand this in a more coherent and clear manner is also a part of both the modern struggle for articulation and what the novel presents to the reader. In this, I think that one can clearly argue that that the narrative presented in Joyce's work makes it a modern novel.

KUWAIT, April 24 (Reuters) - Kuwait should scrap plans for a 'repressive' new media law, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on Wednesday, saying the draft legislation would severely undermine press freedom.
As the government of the Gulf Arab monarchy faces ongoing opposition protests, the law would steeply increase fines on journalists deemed to have insulted the state.
The government passed the 'Unified Media Law' earlier this month and it now needs approval from parliament and the emir, but the New York-based campaign group said it would mean 'inflated' fines as well as 'unjustified restrictions on election coverage, and ambiguous regulations for online media.'
Kuwait's media are among the most free in the Gulf region and the government generally tolerates more political dissent.
However, in recent months dozens of activists have been charged with insulting the emir and several have been handed jail sentences.
The draft law proposes fines of up to 300,000 dinars ($1 million), up sharply from the previous maximum financial of 20,000 dinars, the CPJ said.
Insulting the emir or crown prince would carry the largest fines. There would also be fines of up to 100,000 dinars for insulting the constitution, the flag, harming public morals, inciting crimes, harming relations with other governments and slandering public servants.
The Ministry of Information has said that the law is positive for journalists because it replaces prison penalties for 'secular offences' with fines, but the CPJ said: 'the fines are so steep that journalists could be sent to jail anyway...'
Kuwait's main private newspapers have also said the law would violate free speech.

This article describes How to Repair or Replace Leaky Water Tank Air Valves or Schrader Valves which are used for adding air to a water pressure tank such as the water tank air valve. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. How to Fix a Leak at the Water Tank Air Charging ValveAn explanation of what water tank air valves are, what they look like, how to find them, is at WATER TANK AIR INLET VALVE. To use the water tank air valve to put air into a water pressure tank, see details at WATER TANK AIR ADD AT AIR VALVE and also WATER TANK AIR HOW MUCH TO ADD. To fix a bad water tank air valve see details at WATER TANK AIR VALVE REPAIRS. Readers of this document should also see Water pump and pressure tank repair diagnosis & cost an specific case which offers an example of diagnosis of loss of water pressure, loss of water, and analyzes the actual repair cost. Sometimes when we remove the cap from a water tank air valve, or more likely when we try pumping air into the water tank at the water tank's air valve, we're troubled by water (or air) leaking back out at us from the valve - making us sorry we touched it in the first place. If the air valve or "tire valve" or Schrader valve on your water tank is leaking water or air there are a few wonderfully easy steps you can take. Step 0 - first Find the Air Inlet Valve on you water systemThe air inlet valve location on an internal bladder type water pressure tank is illustrated in our photos just below. At left the air valve is under that red cap; at right is a similar tank whose air inlet valve is covered by a blue plastic cap. The air inlet valve will be located near the top of this type of water pressure tank. Watch out: except for an initial adjustment at the time of installation, you should not find it necessary to add air at this valve. However on occasion this valve can leak, losing the air charge in the water pressure tank. If this is the problem, the repair is simple as we'll explain below. The air inlet valve on a bladderless water pressure tank may be at any of several locations: near the tank top, on the tank side, on a tee at the bottom of the water tank, or on well piping nearby. Watch out: on some submersible pump well systems the air inlet valve is a special model intended to automatically allow air to enter the valve. Those air valves may look like any other schrader "tire" valve stem and internal valve assembly as those here, but the spring pressure and operating properties are different. If you mix up parts the air inlet on a well served by a snifter valve may not work properly. Details about snifter valves and their air inlets and outlets are at WATER TANK AIR VOLUME CONTROLSwith additional photos and explanation at WATER TANK AIR ADD AT AIR VALVE.
How to Check the Air Inlet Valve for Leaks & How to Replace the Valve Stem if NeededWe describe how to clean an air valve on a water tank to get it to stop leaking (water or air), how to make a simple emergency repair to force it to stop leaking, and how to replace a leaky valve stem core in a water tank air valve.
Step 4 alternative: replace the entire leaky water tank valve assemblyIt is also possible to replace the entire Schrader Valve assembly. If your old valve is badly damaged or leaks at its base where the valve screws into the water piping, or if you can't just screw in a new valve core this is what you'll need to do. In our photo above our pliers are loosening the black plastic valve stem cap. Schrader valves whose body bottom is threaded and are screwed into a water tank or water pipe can be replaced entirely. Schrader valves that are welded to the top of a water tank cannot be replaced - just their valve stem core. But alternatively you could use a small wrench to unscrew and replace the entire valve assembly Notice the white teflon tape we wrapped around the threaded part of the water tank air bleed valve assembly when we installed it in the first place. As we described above, you'll need to remove water pressure from the system to make a complete valve assembly replacement. First be sure you have on hand, in addition to the tools described above:
Step 5: Check for leaks at the water tank air valve - chances are very good that the air valve is no longer leaking. If it is still leaking you may be able to remove the stem core, clean the valve threads, and try again. If that doesn't work you need a new water tank or a plumber who can change the entire valve assembly (unlikely).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About finding & fixing leaky air inlet valves on water pressure tanksQuestion:My water tank has a rubber valve and when I press pin in middle no air comes out and when i try to put air in with pump no air goes in . i replaced new pin in valve still nothing what should i do. points are cycling - Anon 5/8/11 Reply:Anon: I can only guess with so little information, but sometimes the bladder in a water pressure tank bursts in such as way that it collapses blocking water into the tank or air into the tank. If your tan k is a bladder type and you press the center pin in the air valve, water (or in some designs air) would come out if there was pressure in the tank and the valve itself is not blocked. Question:yowser dude that valve is in a location that will not work with a "captive air pressure tank with this set up it would be mixing air with the water in all modern tanks since at least the 1970s the tanks have the water on one side of a diaphagm [or bladder] and the air on the outside of it either by crimping a diapragm to the actual side of the tank as in well-x- troll brands of tanks or by having a bladder directly attached to the water inlet[inside of the tank] and the airvale will be welded or threaded to the top side of the actual tank putting it on the external plumbing does nothing for the tank heck even if it was an old galvanized tank it "could" work where you have it but would still not be correct because it would be a large PITA to aircharge in because you would have to pump air in then laet water out then pump more air in then let more waer out several times ,in short it would take alot of uneccessary time to charge the tank that way - Jay 8/13/12 Reply:Thanks so much Jay, you are quite right. The plumbing shown in those photos was from an old installation whose original tank was a unit that did not use an internal bladder. And quite so, on an internal bladder type water pressure tank the schrade valve will be somewhere on or near the tank top, not at the tee on the water line. ...

Last year on April 24, I wrote that ruby-throated hummingbirds were back early. This year they are setting records for returning early. One of my favorite websites, www.hummingbirds.net (maintained by Lanny Chambers), follows hummers' northward journey on the map that's updated daily. Anyone can report their first hummers, and then all can monitor the northbound migration.
The first report this year came from coastal Alabama on Feb. 25. That date is not unusual. Last year the first migratory ruby-throats arrived on the Mississippi coast on Feb. 23. Since 1998, as many as 13 ruby-throats have been reported from the Gulf Coast in February.
What is remarkable this year is how quickly the hummers are moving north. As of March 22, ruby-throats had been recorded in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and central Wisconsin. By the time you read this, there may be hummingbirds in your backyard.
I never look for hummingbirds before mid-April, but I put up one nectar feeder this week. Just in case.
But also remember that just because a hummingbird appears, that doesn't mean it will stay through late summer. It may just be stopping for a rest before heading farther north.
I suggest you hang a nectar feeder today. The nectar recipe is simple -- mix one part table sugar with four parts boiling water, cool and refrigerate. Do not use honey; it can harm or even kill hummers. Red dye is unnecessary because nectar feeders are red, and that's the color that catches hummers' attention. If you're offering nectar for the first time, enhance the feeder's conspicuousness by tying an 18-inch length of red ribbon to the feeder.
For now, a single feeder will suffice. Before nesting begins, hummer numbers at feeders can usually be counted on one hand. When young fledge in July, however, feeding stations attract females and their young from surrounding areas. From mid-July through August, some lucky feeding station operators report "clouds of hummingbirds."
The simplest way to get more hummingbirds is to put up more feeders. Serious hummingbird banders sometimes run dozens of feeders in midsummer to ensure they can capture and band many hummers.
Inevitably some readers ask if it's better to buy commercially prepared nectar. Powdered mixes are OK, but expensive compared to ordinary table sugar. Prepared nectars may advertise that they are fortified with vitamins and minerals, but hummingbirds satisfy their nutritional requirements from their natural foods. The nectar we provide is an energy supplement; their natural diet includes myriad soft-bodied invertebrates such as spiders, aphids, gnats, and fruit flies, as well flower nectar. Invertebrates provide the protein and nutrition that nectar lacks.
Other products that might tempt you are jugs of what appears to be pre-mixed nectar. Read the label. In big box stores, some of these products are merely colored water to which you must add sugar. Buyer beware.

Jason Dufner will try to become the first repeat winner in the Big Easy since Carlos Franco in 2000. The first round of the Zurich Classic tees off today. (AP photo / April 24, 2013) |
AVONDALE, La. (AP) — One year ago, Jason Dufner's victory at the Zurich Classic made him the fifth player in the last eight years to celebrate his maiden PGA Tour triumph in New Orleans.
This weekend, Dufner will try to become the first repeat winner in the Big Easy since Carlos Franco in 2000. But even if Dufner remains beset by the inconsistency that has kept him out of the top 10 this season, the odds of yet another first-time winner at the Zurich seem increasingly slim.
Dufner is one of eight former winners of the New Orleans tour stop who are back at TPC Louisiana, a Pete Dye-designed course carved out of cypress swamp just southwest of the city, and home to the Zurich Classic since 2005.
In fact, he'll tee off with two of them — Bubba Watson and Nick Watney — in Thursday's first round.
"In the last three or four years, it seems like this has become a great spot for premier players to come," Dufner said. "This even is becoming more and more of a place that guys enjoy coming to play and one of the premier events other than the majors and the World Golf events."
More than 60 players in the Zurich Classic Field already have a PGA Tour victory to their name. Four of them have already won events this year: John Merrick (Northern Trust Open), Michael Thompson (Honda Classic), D.A. Points (Houston Open) and Scott Brown (Puerto Rico Open).
Some of the other more accomplished players in the field include Justin Rose, who is No. 4 in the world ranking; 2011 PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley and "The Big Easy" himself, Ernie Els, who has 19 career wins and was the runner-up in the Zurich Classic in a playoff a year ago.
The former winners in New Orleans who've returned include Jason Bohn (2010), Jerry Kelly (2009), Andres Romero (2008), K.J. Choi (2002) and David Toms (2001).
"The tournament is getting stronger and stronger," Rose said. "The golf course has gotten better and better every single year, it feels like. I think I'm slowly learning how to play it."
The course appeared to be in impeccable shape when the tournament's charity pro-am began Wednesday morning — before the arrival of driving rain, lightning and even a severe weather warning that had authorities briefly evacuating the course and tents used by media, tournament staff and VIPs. Nearly 2 inches of rain fell in the middle of the day, but officials said the course drains well and was expected to be fine by the time the first round started Thursday morning. Even the pro-am resumed after 3 p.m.

Part of a series on |
Jesuism (Jesusism or Jesuanism) is the philosophy or teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, and adherence to those teachings.[1] Jesuism is distinct from and sometimes opposed to mainstream Christianity.[2] In particular, the term is often contrasted with the theology attributed to Paul of Tarsus and mainstream Church dogma.[3][4] Jesuism is not opposed to the Christian Bible or Church doctrine, but rather it does not affirm their authority over the teachings of Jesus. As a philosophy, Owen Flanagan characterized Jesuism as naturalistic and rationalist, rejecting the conflict between faith and science.[5] Though not specifically associated with Jesuism, the red letter Bibles are one method of studying the teachings of Jesus.
The term "Jesuism" was coined by the late 1800s. It is derived from "Jesus" (Jesus of Nazareth) + "-ism" (English suffix, a characteristic or system of beliefs, from French -isme, Latin -ismus, Greek -ismos).[6][7]
History of usage[edit]
As a concept distinct from Christianity, the terms Jesuism, Jesusism and Jesuanism have been referenced by philosophers, theologians, and writers for over a century. In 1878, freethinker and former Shaker D. M. Bennett wrote that "Jesuism", as distinct from "Paulism", was the gospel taught by Peter, John and James, and the Messianic doctrine of a new Jewish sect.[8] In 1894, American pathologist and atheist Frank Seaver Billings defined "Jesusism" as the "Christianity of the Gospels" and a philosophy which "can be attributed directly to the teachings of Jesus the Nazarene".[9][10] In 1909, the Seventh-day Adventist newspaper Signs of the Times, in an issue titled "Modern Christianity Not Jesusism", the question is posed: "Christianity of today is not the old original Christianity. It is not Jesusism, for it is not the religion which Jesus preached. Is it not time to make Christianity the religion which He personally preached and which He personally practiced?"[11] Harvard theologian Bouck White, in 1911, also defined "Jesusism" as "the religion which Jesus preached".[1] Lord Ernest Hamilton in 1912 wrote that "Jesuism" was simply to love one another and love God.[12] The philosophy of Jesusism was described in the book The Naked Truth of Jesusism from Oriental Manuscripts, penned by theologian Lyman Fairbanks George in 1914, as follows:
It is to restore Jesus' sayings to their original purity.
It is to eradicate from the Gospels the interpolations of the Middle Ages.
It is to relate the misconceptions revealed by recent archaeological research.
It is to present Jesus from an economic viewpoint.
It is to break through the spell spectral of Cosmic Credulity.
It is to toll the knell of schism through Jesusism.[13]
The Orthodox theologian Sergei Bulgakov further noted in 1935 that "the concentration of piety on the Christ alone has become a deviation already known by a special term as Jesusism".[14] Influential Catholic theologian Karl Rahner referred to "Jesusism" as a focus on the life of Jesus and attempts to imitate his life, as opposed to a focus on God or the Christian Church.[15] University of Melbourne professor Lindsay Falvey noted in 2009 that "the gospel story so differs from Church doctrine that it could well be of a different religion – Jesusism".[16] Jesusism became the subject of increased academic discussion following its reference by Duke University neurobiologist and philosopher Owen Flanagan in his 2007 book The Really Hard Problem: Meaning in a Material World.[17] Flanagan defines Jesusism as the "message" of Jesus and notes that he "call[s] it 'Jesusism' because most Christian Churches do not endorse Jesus' message truthfully".[2] Rodney Stenning Edgecombe, a professor at the University of Cape Town, in a 2009 essay titled Communication Across the Social Divide remarks how Christianity shifted away from Jesuism; the moral tenets Jesus preached.[18] The terms Jesuism, Jesusism and Jesuanism are also referenced popularly on religious blogs and internet groups.
Beliefs, practices and adherents[edit]
There is no definitive meaning of Jesuism, Jesusism or Jesuanism, and hence no clear ideology. However, Frank Seaver Billings described "Jesusism" as a combination of anarchism and communism (see anarchist communism and Christian anarchism).[7][19][20] Billings, an American atheist and materialist, was critical of all religion, including Jesuism.[9][21]
Various groups use the terms Jesuism, Jesusism and Jesuanism. These include disenchanted Christians who are critical of institutional religion or Pauline Christianity, people who identify themselves as disciples of Jesus rather than Christians, Christian atheists who accept Jesus' teachings but do not believe in God, and atheists who are critical of all religion including Jesuism. Adherents may be termed Jesuists, Jesusists or Jesuans.[22]
Jesuism versus Paulinism[edit]
Jesuism does not affirm the spiritual or scriptural authority of the Christian Bible (with the exception of the Gospels). Jesuism is particularly contrasted with Pauline Christianity or Paulinism, the theology of Paul of Tarsus.[23][24]
Ludwig Wittgenstein described the following differences between Paulinism and Jesuism:
The spring which flows quietly and transparently through the Gospels seems to have foam on it in Paul's Epistles. Or, that is how it seems to me. Perhaps it is just my own impurity which sees cloudiness in it; for why shouldn't this impurity be able to pollute what is clear? But to me it's as if I saw human passion here, something like pride or anger, which does not agree with the humility of the Gospels. As if there were here an emphasis on his own person, and even as a religious act, which is foreign to the Gospel.
In the Gospels – so it seems to me – everything is less pretentious, humbler, simpler. There are huts; with Paul a church. There all men are equal and God himself is a man; with Paul there is already something like a hierarchy; honours and offices.[25]

One of the current movies generating a lot of Oscar buzz is "The Blind Side," with Sandra Bullock deservedly receiving an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of the mother in this film about a young man who overcomes the worst of circumstances to achieve football and lifetime success.
Really, this is Sandra Bullock's movie. It does not go without her.
But that puts me mindful of one of my favorite sports films of all times, one that broke new cinematic ground and has a Denver Broncos connection as well.
"Everybody's All-American" was made back in 1988, with Dennis Quaid starring as a legendary college football player.
There are a number of things I love about this movie, most notably the realism and the fact that nothing is really sugar-coated in the story.
It covers 25 years in the life of the football star, and in the movie he plays for a "real" school, LSU, and the game scenes were shot at LSU's Tiger Stadium during the halftimes of actual LSU games. They actually altered the goalposts so they would look like the old-time "H" goalposts that were prevalent during the time in question.
Dennis Quaid also did a great job in the baseball bio pic, "The Rookie," and he played Jerry Lee Lewis in "Great Balls of Fire," so Quaid really has had the market cornered on playing a historical figure well.
In "Everybody's All-American" he actually had his collarbone broken by Tim Fox of the New England Patriots during filming, which stopped shooting on the film for a few weeks.
One of the elements that gave great visual credibility to this movie was the fact that for the action scenes after he became a pro player, actually NFL Films game footage was used, with the actors doing their close ups and then game action switching back to real football action.
This gave a very realistic tone to the movies, as did the fact that his career was not perfect. It included injuries, and showing him and other players play through pain and injury.
For a part of the story Quaid's character, Gavin Grey ("The Grey Ghost" — whom some have suggested was based on Billy Cannon, but that claim has been refuted by the writers) played for the Denver Broncos.
His uniform number is number 41 in Denver, and that was because the best football action footage for the era in question of a Bronco running back similar to Quaid's character was Rob Lytle.
Lytle finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting while at Michigan and then came to the Broncos as a second round draft choice in 1977.
So, the action sequences showing The Grey Ghost running the ball for the Broncos are as authentic as cam be, because it is actual game footage of Rob Lytle.
This was made back in 1988, so one has to appreciate the extra effort they went to at that time to give the movie as much authenticity as possible.
Every moment of "Everybody's All-American" is not happy time, but I have always considered it a superior football movie and worth a look by any fan of both our game and the cinema.
