Man, this will be a fun division to watch. I mean, there's a slight possibility that all four finish above .500, and no reason that at least three shouldn't. They have the odds-on favorite to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, a team that went to four straight NFC Championship Games quite recently, a playoff team that has improved this offseason, and, oh yeah, THE DEFENDING SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS. Amazing.
Let's start with the Super Bowl XLII Champs. As is the custom for Super Bowl winners lately, a few key players have left the team. Michael Strahan retired, Kawika Mitchell is gone to Buffalo, Gibril Wilson is off to Oakland, and most recently Jeremy Shockey is living large in The Big Easy. Doesn't matter. This team was overloaded at DE with Strahan, as good as he was, and now Justin Tuck will play full-time alongside Osi Umenyiora and wreak havoc upon opposing QB's. Sammy Knight has been brought in to replace Wilson and Gerris Wilkinson will take Mitchell's spot. The main thing to consider is what the team brings back.
Eli Manning seemed to take a quantum leap forward in the playoffs last year, making Brett Favre expendable in Green Bay among other things like leading his team past the juggernaut that was the New England Patriots. He has become a new man, as he got married over the summer, with Justin Timberlake famously saying at the ESPY's, "he finally saw a girl naked". All kidding aside, it looks like Eli has finally become the leader the Giants have been waiting for.
Brandon Jacobs is an absolute load at RB, and if Ahmad Bradshaw can't get out of his own shadow, Derrick Ward is more than capable of spelling Jacobs. The line is strong with guard Chris Snee and tackles David Diehl and Kareem McKenzie. Plaxico Burress is coming of his best season arguably as a pro and veteran Amani Toomer solidifies the number two spot. Kevin Boss is a capable replacement for Shockey, as he showed at the end of last season. This team has an outside chance to repeat, though I wouldn't bet on it.
How about those Eagles? They might have the scariest cornerback trio in recent memory with Asante Samuel joining Lito Sheppard and Shelton Brown. They just better hope there's enough picks to go around. Trent Cole had a breakout year at DE while Brian Dawkins continues to be great at safety.
Offensively, Brian Westbrook has a pretty new contract to supplement his magnificent production over the last few years. If Donovan McNabb can stay healthy for this team, the sky's the limit.
The Redskins could improve the most of any East team, and they went to the playoffs last year. Jason Taylor is a more than capable replacement for the injured Philip Daniels and new coach Jim Zorn quarterback knowledge seems to be working great for Jason Campbell so far. Clinton Portis should be strong once again at running back and the receiving core should be better with Moss, Randle El, and new additions Devin Thomas and strong receiving tight ends Chris Cooley and Fred Davis.
Corners Carlos Rogers and Shawn Springs are good veterans and London Fletcher never seems to stop tackling people. The football gods knew what they were doing when they had this team take LaRon Landry in last years draft, who now has the unenviable task of trying to make this team and it's fans forget about the tragic story of Sean Taylor, but I think he will be able to do it. He is a special talent.
On to Dallas. Could they be New England, 2008 version? I don't think they will be that good, but this offense should be extremely explosive once again. Marion Barber is now the number one guy, and draftee Felix Jones should provide some lightning to Marion the Barbarian's thunder, and will give him some rest so he can ease himself into the feature back role.
Everyone focuses on the offense, but the defense is way better than most people think. DeMarcus Ware is arguably the best pass rushing linebacker in the game, and a more complete player than counterpart Shawne Merriman. Zack Thomas comes aboard and should get a ton of tackles in the middle and the secondary is strong as well, with corners Anthony Henry and Terrance Newman with the enigmatic newcomer Adam Jones.
This team reminds me of Indy from about 2 years ago. Both have been surrounded by immense expectations, a dynamic offense and a solid defense, but seemed to hit a wall in the playoffs, with the QB taking the blame. Look what happened eventually in Colts town. Will it happen in Dallas? Yes, I believe it will, and possibly sooner than later.
Dallas 13-3
New York 11-5
Philadelphia 10-6
Washington 9-7
Look for my final division preview on the AFC East tomorrow and as always, I look forward to your feedback. Check out my previous previews.

Bad Name … Could it not be changed? its a kinda double standard to use Queer but then state, people (mainly straight) can not call gay people Queer.
Only to the same extent as it is that black guys can call each other N****
But can you really see a website called WikiN***** existing. From my experience, when a black guy uses that word for another black guy, it's usually as an insult to them. I don't use offensive slang words to describe myself that someone who hates me made up . Do you?
Precisely. Even you won't say the word, and PN would block it anyway.
I find the word "Queer" offensive and overtly political.
Tough, Spanner. Others (and they seem to be far younger than me) are proudly queer. The notion of "taking back the slur and re-empowering it for our use" may seem alien, but I've struggled with "the word," and there are more POSTIVIE synonms around "queer" than negatives.
So tell me why you can say "Queer" on here but everyone visibly winces when somebody says "Niġġer"?
If you wish to denigrate yourself, that's fine by me, but don't expect the rest of us who just want to have a quiet life and expect to be treated as everyone else to start hurling veiled insults at one another just to appease your politics.
Which is it?
'offensive' or 'overtly political'….?
The two by definition are mutually exclusive…
Tell that to PN. You can't even type N@zi because they consider it both.
Not at all – as we've been over so many times on Pink News Comments Boards, the word 'Queer' has been used as an acceptable term by LGBT Political community for near to 30 years now.
I always find it somewhat odd when there is such an outcry about its use when very few people bat an eyelid at the ongoing and kneejerk racism and bigotry on these boards…
Acceptable by who? Not by me, and not by many others.
Even Peter Tatchell has stopped using it because he knows it pisses a lot of us off.
Quite apart from the name, there are questions as to whether this is needed at all and how its accuracy will be maintained. Wikipedia operates on an assumption of an informed mob of member editors who refine entries whilst adhering to certain codes, eg citing references, no abuse etc. Yet even wikipedia has trouble maintaining standards – you'll find that Labour MP entries have entries for any dirt that can be thrown at them whereas the Tory MP ones often seem like press releases by their fan clubs. Will there be enough member editors to overturn incorrect entries and stick at doing so to get towards a consensus view based on verifiable evidence?
Sorry I hit a thumbs up, but it appears down. I agree with you, it's bound to be a target for trolls, so will need assiduous editing.
I wonder if Keith is in it, under the reference headings "Drunken", "Ex-Gay Nut", and "Coward"?
Keith [keeth] -noun
1. To be Drunk
2. A reference to an "Ex Gay" Failure
3. To be obsessed with one's anus and the act of gay sex.
4. The act, or state of being, in reference to being weak, spineless and/or an lying alcoholic with mental health issues.
– "He was a total Keith"
– "That man in the park at 4am was so crazy, I though he was a Keith"
I always thought a keith was a nonce.
Your comment is especially awesome to me as I'm a gay transgender man who's name happens to be Keith. Do I claim to be "ex-gay" or am I an alcoholic, homophobe, or a coward? None of the above, thanks. Try living your life as an out transperson of any stripe and then talk to me about cowardice.
"A total Keith"? Yeah, I am. I chose my name and there's nothing inherently negative about it. It's just me.
[Why is taking 3 goes to post this?]
Don't take it personally, it's a reference to PN's most dedicated troll whose name is apparently Keith, though he now has to use a variety of (usually lavatorial) pseudonyms as he's been banned so many times.
""A total Keith"? Yeah, I am. I chose my name and there's nothing inherently negative about it. It's just me."
As Rehan said, you haven't met THE Keith yet. My comments were not address to every Keith (that would just be weird), just him.
….aqnd he's here down below under the apt title of "poo pushing brigade" – THIS creature calls himself Keith.
Bloke rushes into a police station and shouts out "Help!, I've just been keithed…"
I tend to agree with Mr. Legge. "Wiki-Queer" is not going to get the respect they seek as a serious source of information. It is also terrible to tell a fledgling gay teen that his new world's best authorities accept the label "queer", which is defined as mentally unbalanced, deranged, unusually different, of a questionable nature or character, suspicious, and shady.
Many young gays do not understand the complex humor in self-deprecation as weapon against bigotry.
"Queer" is fine for a stand-up comic with an adult audience, but it's a terrible idea as a "professional source" of information.
"Queer" is fine for a stand-up comic with an adult audience
How does that differ from "Facebook" "Twitter" the "FA" or any other blog that has recently been highlighted "it was a laugh… or a bit of fun" "wasn't meant to be offensive" that resulted in fines and suspensions?
Don't like the use of this word! Still a derogatory term in my book. A habit we should grow out of. GAY WIKI is more catchy or LGBT WIKI would be better.
Queer includes the whole gamut of sexuality/sexual expression/gender identity which even the term LGBT doesnt include.
Personally I think the term WikiQueer is a very good name.
…'WikiLGBT' doesnt really have the same ring to it does it…
And 'WikiGay'….!?!?!? lol
bad name true. but at least they're trying to promote the LGBT news stories in a positive light, Give them a chance before you lot start hounding them……….
"Queer" Always was and will be a pejorative! It's up there with the "F" word!
"Queer" reclaimed word is a word that was formerly used solely as a slur but that has been semantically overturned by members of the maligned group, who use it as a term of defiant pride. Queer is an example of a word undergoing this process. For decades queer was used solely as a derogatory adjective for gays and lesbians, but in the 1980s the term began to be used by gay and lesbian activists as a term of self-identification. Eventually, it came to be used as an umbrella term that included gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people. Nevertheless, a sizable percentage of people to whom this term might apply still hold queer to be a hateful insult, and its use by heterosexuals is often considered offensive. Similarly, other reclaimed words are usually offensive to the in-group when used by outsiders, so extreme caution must be taken concerning their use when one is not a member of the group.
I wanted to chime in real quick – just so folks know that we did put thought into these concerns and share some insight. I'll likely be writing more about this on WikiQueer and I'll likely not reply again. Also, as an online community, the volunteers running WikiQueer have say in this too. :)
The truth is – there is no good term to describe our entire communities globally. Any term you pick, I promise you, someone is going to find fault with. Domain name availability, marketability, pronunciation, etc. all make this one of my least favorite tasks. :)
I recognize the name has flaws, but I feel it is the best option available and ultimately not our largest barrier. No doubt, it will continue to come up and I think that's good. Folks from several generations, continents, cultures, genders and sexual orientations weighed in – discourse is important and healthy. I would also point to Queer the Vote and Queer the Census efforts in the US as other efforts to reclaim the word.
Around the world the GBLT are fighting for human rights, acceptance and equality. We argue for these because as humans we are no different than any one else.
It is therefore counter productive to reinvent the word "Queer" which by it's very definition is "different – odd – unusual – irregular"
To imply this is generational or cultural does not change history. it's little more than contemptible!
GBLT? Even you cannot get it right. Most of us refer to it as LGBT, or variations/additions on that. If we can't even decide on a blanket name for ourselves, what hope have we of ever convincing anybody else we are a unified force?
I thought people in the US use a different order (though I thought it was GLBT)?
Sure, why not go the whole hog and call it the "Faggot Dictionary" or "Shirtlifter's Lexicon"?
I find this just as offensive.
The word 'faggot' doesn't really have any real weight in the UK
'Fags' being the word people use for cigarettes and 'faggots' being both twiglets and wood used for making fires and also a kind of sweetbread meat thingy…
Twiglets? I like Twiglets and I never heard them called a faggot.
They could perhaps have talked to the UK LGBT groups already running databases http://www.turingnetwork.org.uk/
@robert legge, "thank you" for the opening comment! I am there 100% on the hypocrisy of double standard use of pejoratives.
I wonder if Keith is in it, under the reference headings "Drunken", "Ex-Gay Nut", and "Coward"?
Keith [keeth] – noun
1. To be Drunk
2. A reference to an "Ex Gay" Failure
3. To be obsessed with one's anus and the act of gay sex.
4. The act, or state of being, in reference to being weak, spineless and/or an lying alcoholic with mental health issues.
– "He was a total Keith"
– "That man in the park at 4am was so crazy, I though he was a Keith"
Please ignore it Will in future. Troll's feed of attention. You are giving it what it wants. The sad fool will disappear if EVERYONE just ignores him and thumbs down his comments so no one has to read them.
Have you never heard of glbtq.com–the online encyclopedia of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer culture? It is the largest resource of its kind and features 2,000 signed articles and special features.
Thanks for posting this. With all of the dithering about semantics, I appreciate someone having cut through the crapstorm and providing objective information. Sounds as though THAT site will be a useful starting point for WikiQueer writers to use as an example.
No wonder nobody can find it.
The word queer has been reclaimed by the LGBT community to mean anyone belonging to a minority sexual or gender identity, therefore making it more inclusive than LGBT. The Queer Youth Network for example is the UK's national organisation. I really don't see an issue with it. I even identify as queer.
Bollocks has it. I'm gay. Queers are just a bunch of lefty faggot reactionaries.
If you wish to identify with them that is entirely up to you but don't tar the rest of us with your socio-political brush.
lol 'lefty' eh?
Your use of that word says FAR more about you than your bullheaded refusal to take on board what people are saying about the use of the word 'Queer'…
Yup. Certainly does, comrade.
Then why not LGBTQ or similar, H? That would be more inclusive. I personally have never and would never identify myself as queer so I'd have wished for a more neutral-type name. But LGBTQ or whatever would please us both, I hope.
I used to think the 'Q' in LGBTQ stood for 'Queer' anyway lol
And whilst 'Questioning' makes some degree of sense – so does 'Queer' for all the reasons outlined above.
I think people who have been around some degree of Gay Politics over the past 30 years are probably far more comfortable with the term than perhaps people who haven't been.
I suspect for LGBT people generally outside of those political & academic circles its more about shock than it is about the inherent 'wickedness' (pun intended…!) of 'Queer'…
Whilst it is the more revolutionary individuals who continue to use it with disregard for history. Perhaps you will find it more contrary that the older people are the more and more offensive they find it.
There is a great disparity in the perception of how offensive it is when used by Americans vs the British where it had it's most bigoted impact on individuals.
The creation of the LGBT was originally to internationally become all encompassing genders with a neutrality that was free of previous bigotry
No matter how much focus persist on it's reclaimed reinvention, it will always be viewed as a vile, bigoted offensive reference. It will therefore anger many who for their lifetime refuse to be identified or demeaned by it.

Preseason is normally a time of optimism and enthusiasm for the upcoming regular season. It's an exciting time to ponder what good may come, and these Detroit Lions could indeed be very good.
However, every rose has its thorn. While the blossoming talent appears poised to make a serious playoff run, some buds have wilted on the vine.
Hopefully these sore points don't poison the overall buzz for the Lions. While there are some disappointments like the six listed here, just as many positive surprises stand out as well:
- The emergence of George Johnson
- Cassius Vaughn as the third outside corner
- Joe Fauria's improved blocking
- The newfound propensity for blitzing on defense
- Tahir Whitehead's development
- Overall health is excellent
Here are the biggest preseason disappointments, ranked in order of how much of a letdown from expectations each represents.

PITTSFIELD – Andrea F. Nuciforo Jr., who is challenging U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Springfield, for the Democratic nomination in Massachusetts' 1st Congressional district, on Tuesday urged passage of legislation that would prohibit so-called Super PACs from influencing federal elections.
"Congress and politics is awash in corporate and special interest money. That money is drowning out the voices of everyday citizens," Nuciforo said in a statement released by his campaign. "In my first 90 days in Washington, I will file a bill proposing a series of progressive reforms, thereby limiting the influence of special interests and corporate money."
In the statement, Nuciforo, the Register of Deeds in Pittsfield, said he wants to repeal, via an amendment to the Constitution, the Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United v. FEC and prohibit corporations from spending unlimited amounts of money to elect or defeat candidates for federal office.
Nuciforo also proposes, according to his statement:
• Adopting the provisions of the Fair Elections Now Act, currently pending in Congress, which would call for a system of public financing for candidates for the Congress.
• Adopting the provisions of the DISCLOSE Act, currently pending before Congress, that would require outside groups such as Citizens United, as well as other 527s and independent expenditure groups, to reveal their donors.

Museum effort in the home stretch
SUQUAMISH — Suquamish tribal history will have a new home in the fall of 2011.
The tribe is beginning a final fundraising push for the planned Suquamish Museum building, to be built across from the Tribal Center.
The museum is the final installment in a series of Suquamish construction projects, which included the Marion Forsman-Boushie Early Learning Center, the House of Awakened Culture, a dock and a renovation of the Chief Seattle gravesite.
"We've gotten all those other things off the ground, so now we're coming together around the final part — the museum," said Greta Stough, program analyst for the Suquamish Foundation, the fundraising arm of the tribe.
The Foundation will host "A Time to Gather" tonight in Suquamish. The event is both a fundraiser and a cultural celebration, featuring native performers and food (see box below for more information).
"We want it to be less about raising money and more about bringing together the community and different cultures," Stough said.
The 9,000 square-foot new museum will include about 3,000 square feet of climate-controlled exhibit space, 1,500 square feet more than the current museum on Sandy Hook Road. Along with exhibits, the museum will feature an auditorium for classes and performances, an archive and research room, and a gift shop.
Museum staff are already preparing for the move.
Director Marilyn Jones said volunteers are in the midst of digitizing the museum's massive archive, a job that will continue even after the new museum opens. Staff and volunteers are also creating new signs and preparing exhibits for the new museum.
"It's really amazing how much you have to do even before you open the doors," Jones said.
Stough said more than $1 million has already been raised for the new museum building. The foundation plans to raise another $1.5 to $2 million over the next year.
Construction will begin in the spring of 2011.

BE WARY OF DUAL AGENCY - Department of New York State:
U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development 2010 The latest HUD Settlement Cost Booklet recommends the use of an Exclusive Buyer's Agent. "If you want someone to represent only your interests, consider hiring an "exclusive buyer's agent"' who will be working for you."
The Past
In the realm of real estate, there have always been buyer's agents, but most buyers were never made aware of this. When they wanted to buy a home, buyers went to a real estate agent for help in finding the best home for them, not knowing that a real estate agent is actually legally bound to represent the seller. This fact created quite a bit of confusion, and led to a general distrust between agents and buyers.
The FTC eventually pressured the real estate industry to provide consumers with a written disclosure showing whom they represented during the buying/selling process.
Roles Defined
There are four types of real estate agencies, each with a definite distinction:
- Traditional Seller's Agency:Agents working for a seller's agency signs an agreement with sellers to try to get them the highest price. Many companies also serve buyers, but not as clients but customers.
- Dual Agency: This Company attempts to work on both sides of the fence, both as a representative for buyers and sellers. If one agent is working as a buyer's agent and another as a seller's agent, this can create a large conflict of interest.
- Buyers Agency: A company whose only interest is maintaining the services of the buyer by trying to get the lowest price and best terms available for buyers.
- Single Agency: They represent both buyers and sellers, as long as two agents don't work on opposite sides of the same sale.
Avoid a Conflict of Interest
Whether consumers choose a dual agent or a buyer's agent (also called an exclusive buyer's agent) comes down to the importance they place on the business relationship. If they don't mind sharing attention with the seller, they'll be fine with a dual agency. But those who prefer one on one attention from their agent will want to choose a buyer's agent. The thing to remember is that dual agents rarely introduce themselves as such, leaving consumers to determine for themselves just where an agency stands. This usually means reading the fine print on the buyer agency agreement or checking the paper for listings placed by the agency; an agency with a lot of real estate listings represent sellers as well as buyers. If they haven't properly shared that information with their customers, it's best to walk away.
A conflict of interest is easy to avoid, as long as consumers see it coming. A homebuyer who wants to buy a home that is listed with their buyer agent's company will be faced with a conflict of interest. For the real estate agency, this representation of both buyer and seller is referred to as an in-house sale. In this position, the agency receives double commission on the sale if it proceeds. While this is beneficial to the agent and his company, it is rarely fair to the buyer. Most wise buyers are aware of the implications of working with a dual agency and as a result, choose to work with an exclusive buyer's agent. Such reputable sources as Business Week, Money Magazine, Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine and U.S. News and World Report also support the use of a buyer's agent over a dual agent.

Katy Perry has given John Mayer a key to her Los Angeles home.
The relationship between the singers has heated up since they recently rekindled their romance following a brief split and Katy is so serious about John that she made the romantic gesture.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "John thinks it is easier to stay in hotels rather than his own LA pad [when he visits from New York].
But Katy insists he should stay with her. She thinks it makes sense."
The pair recently took a trip to Las Vegas with friends and joked about getting married in an Elvis chapel but didn't go through with it.
However, they did enjoy a night out at the notorious Spearmint Rhino strip club with friends.
A source said "They were together in a group. As for whether they got dances, they were in a strip club... you do the math.
"The group had so much fun, they stayed until 5 a.m."
Katy, 27, was thought to have been left heartbroken when John - who has dated a string of Hollywood beauties, including Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Taylor Swift and Cameron Diaz - ended their brief fling at the end of August.
A source said at the time: "She is making it seem like it wasn't serious with John, but she is hurt."

Pakistan: street rage and sectarian bombings
One of the more troublesome aspects of the current situation in Pakistan is how subdued - at least relative to the scale of the deaths - are protests against suicide bombings on Pakistani cities. Travelling from Lahore to Islamabad last month, my taxi driver winced in pain when I told him I had a text message saying the city we had just left, his city, had been bombed again. Yet where was the outlet for him to express that pain, or indeed for the many grieving families who had lost relatives?
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
Does that U.S. "retribution plan" for Pakistan still stand?
One of the more interesting details in the advance reports of Bob Woodward's "Obama's Wars" is that Washington had prepared a "retribution plan" in the event of a major attack on the United States which is traced back to Pakistan.
from Afghan Journal:
How many al Qaeda can you live with ?
A furious debate has raged for several months now whether it makes sense for the United States to throw tens of thousands of soldiers at a handful of al Qaeda that remain in the Afghanistan-Pakistan theatre, nine years after launching the global war on terrorism.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
On WikiLeaks, Pakistan and Afghanistan; the tip of an old iceberg
I've been resisting diving into the WikiLeaks controversy, in part because the information contained in the documents - including allegations of Pakistani complicity with the Taliban - is not new. Yet at the same time you can't entirely dismiss as old news something which has generated such a media feeding frenzy. So here are a few pointers to add to the discussion.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
Pakistan's General Kayani given three-year extension
Pakistan army chief, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, is to be given a a three-year extension to his term of office to maintain continuity in the country's battle against Islamist militants.
from Afghan Journal:
Engaging the Afghan Taliban: a short history
For those pushing for high-level political negotiations with the Afghan Taliban to bring to an end to the eight-year war, two U.S. scholars in separate pieces are suggesting a walk through recent history The United States has gone down the path of dialogue with the group before and suffered for it, believing against its own better judgement in the Taliban's promises until it ended up with the September 11, 2001 attacks, says Michael Rubin from the American Enterprise Institute in this article in Commentary.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
Fresh reports surface of Taliban-al Qaeda rift
According to the Los Angeles Times, a growing number of Taliban militants in the Pakistani border region are refusing to collaborate with Al Qaeda fighters, declining to provide shelter or assist in attacks in Afghanistan even in return for payment. It quotes U.S. military and counter-terrorism officials as saying that threats to the militants' long-term survival from Pakistani, Afghan and foreign military action are driving some Afghan Taliban away from Al Qaeda.

As a biblical scholar with expertise in early Christian history, I spend most of my time teaching and writing about Jesus, the early church, and the development of Christian thought.
In many ways, I am the anti-type of Bart Ehrman—a biblical scholar with a university doctorate and a modest quiver of publications under my belt who has shifted from the secular to the sacred, transitioned from skepticism to faith. Consequently, I do not see Jesus as merely another man whom people later venerated as a god. No, when I look to Jesus, I see that God is with us and for us, because he became one of us. I believe that God became a man, Jesus of Nazareth.
Fighting for the Faith
When I heard Ehrman had a forthcoming book about how Jesus became God, my interest was piqued. I'm intimately familiar with Ehrman's earlier works—and I often enjoy them—so I had a pretty good idea where he was going with this topic.
I also knew that while Ehrman could be informative, his retelling of church history could also be wildly skewed in some places. So I teamed up with four colleagues (Craig Evans, Simon Gathercole, Chris Tilling, and Charles Hill), all leading authorities in their own fields, to publish an immediate response to Ehrman. We read Ehrman's manuscript over the winter and set out to write How God Became Jesus: The Real Origins of Belief in Jesus' Divine Nature. In this book, we challenge Ehrman on the when, where, how, and who of the origins of belief in Jesus as God incarnate.
For many secularists, Ehrman is a godsend who propagates common misconceptions about Jesus and the early church. He believes there was a spectrum of divinity between gods and humans in the ancient world. Therefore, he asserts that the early church's beliefs about Jesus evolved: from a man exalted to heaven to an angel who became human to a pre-existent "divine" person who became incarnate to a subordinated or lesser god to being declared one with God.
My faith and studies have led me to believe otherwise. First-century Jews and early Christians clearly demarcated God from all other reality, thus leading them to hold to a very strict monotheism. That said, Jesus was not seen as a Greek god like Zeus who trotted about earth or a human being who morphed into an angel at death. Rather, the first Christians redefined the concept of "one God" around the person and work of Jesus Christ. Not to mention the New Testament writers, especially Luke and Paul, consistently identify Jesus with the God of Israel.
Many people get the idea that Jesus was just a prophet and never claimed to be divine. But a careful look at the Gospels shows that the historical Jesus explicitly claimed to exercise divine prerogatives. He identified himself with God's activity in the world. He believed that in his own person, Israel's God was returning to Zion, just as the prophets had promised. And he claimed he would sit on God's throne. These claims, when studied up close, are de facto claims to divine personhood, the reasons religious leaders of the day were so outraged.
Evidence shows that Jesus claimed to be God incarnate, and within 20-some years after his death and resurrection, Christians were identifying him with the God of Israel, using the language and grammar of the Old Testament to do so.
Sure, some sects in the first few centuries held heretical beliefs about Jesus. But the mainstream, orthodox view of Christ's identity was always consistent with and rooted in the New Testament, though orthodox Christology became more refined in the following centuries.

Imagine writing a bestselling novel adored by fans the world over. Imagine the film rights for said novel being bought, meaning your precious creation was headed to the big screen. Then imagine months and months of speculation regarding who would play the heartthrob leading male, with many of Hollywood's hottest vying for the role. You still with me? Now imagine you were tucked snugly into bed when the big casting news broke!
Such is the case for "Mortal Instruments" author Cassandra Clare, who, thanks to a trip to Australia (and its 14-hour time difference) was fast asleep when the Twitterverse went BANANAS over reports "Camelot" actor Jamie Campbell Bower had been cast as her Shadowhunter dreamboat Jace Wayland. What a wake-up call indeed!
Lucky for us, Cassie agreed to stay up until the wee hours of the morning in Australia to talk with Hollywood Crush about her reaction to Jamie's audition tape, his chemistry with co-star Lily Collins and why he'll make the perfect Jace. Keep reading after the jump for our in-depth chit-chat.
Hollywood Crush: You were uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter when the news broke yesterday that Jamie had been cast as Jace. What was up?
Cassandra Clare: I was asleep! I woke up actually because my agent called and said, 'Before you get online and check your email and get on Twitter, I have to tell you this.' So I was prepared. And I got on and was like, 'Oh my god.' Because, you know, thousands of tweets came in. I did not read them all. I was like, 'It's like a nuclear bomb went off.' So the first thing I did was call the studio, because I'm used to there being a lot of rumors floating around, and I wanted to like a) confirm this, and b) what do I need to say?
Let's get down to the nitty-gritties. Why is Jamie so perfect for Jace?
I have seen his audition tape. They sent it to me because they were so impressed with it, and they wanted to get my feedback. People have been asking me what scene he filmed. The answer is a bunch of different scenes. He did scenes where he had to be funny. He did scenes where he had to be romantic. He did scenes where he had to be angry and badass and he pulled that all off amazingly.
He auditioned with Lily, and he and Lily had incredible chemistry that sort of blazed off the scene. I'm just sitting here watching this on my computer, and you know, he was not the only person they've ever sent me to look at. I've gotten lots of headshots and this and that, and I'm watching the audition and I literally started crying because that was my Jace and Clary on the screen. And it's an incredible feeling to see that even as an audition. This is amazing. He was snarky funny where he needed to be snarky funny, and he was badass where he needed to be badass. And he and Lily were incredible together.
In fact, after all the auditions, because she's done auditions with a bunch of different actors, she wrote to the head of the studio, Clint Culpepper of Screen Gems, and she was like, 'It's Jamie. It's gotta be Jamie.' He told me that, this was before he had seen the audition, he told me that he wrote back and he was like, 'He's a rock star hipster kind of guy. Do you think he can be a badass warrior-dude, as well?' And she wrote back and said, 'That is Jace standing there. When you watch the audition you'll see what I see.'
I'm sure fans are dying to know if there was a kissing scene involved in the audition.
You can tell the fans that one of the scenes they rehearsed is the greenhouse scene.
I think people will like that.
I did. [Laughs]
What does it feel like to finally have Jace cast? It's been such a long process.
First, it's an incredible relief. There have been so many... There is all this stuff that goes on behind the scenes and fans are like, 'Nothing is happening.' And I'm like, 'Lots and lots of stuff is happening.' They're auditioning hundreds of guys and looking at all of these people, and nobody is quite right. It feels like the search for the Fountain of Youth—you're never going to find it. So you can't go forward with the project until Jace is signed off on.
I think another thing that people don't realize is how many people have to sign-off on something like that. There's like seven or eight producers on this movie. I don't even know who they all are. And they all have to sign-off on this. And then it has to go to Sony and the head of the studio, Amy Pascal, and she has to sign-off on Jace. So everyone has to agree that this is the right guy. Getting everyone to agree—imagine trying to get a group of eight randomly selected people to agree on something. I really was starting to think that they were never going to find a guy that everyone agrees on. Then Jamie comes along and does this blow-you-away audition. So they were like, 'Okay, this audition is amazing. We have to bring him back and test with Lily.'
Another thing that impressed me about him was that he asked—I got a message relayed to me through the studio, wanting to know what Jace would wear. He is the only actor who tested for this role who asked this.
Did he dress as Jace for his audition?
He wore exactly what I said: jeans, tight-fitting black T-shirt, boots, and he wears rings on his fingers.
I can definitely see Jamie having those pieces in his wardrobe already.
Yeah, I don't think it was too much of a problem for him. [Laughs] But honestly, you can wear whatever you want to an audition. This isn't a dress rehearsal. He could have worn a striped circus tent if he wanted to. But he wanted to get in character as much as possible.
I already liked him. I liked him from 'Camelot.' I've liked him since I saw 'Sweeney Todd.' [At the time I thought] Jamie seems like a really good option. I'm glad that you're looking at him. I hope it goes well. As he started to audition, I started getting responses from producers that were like, 'This is a blow-you-away audition—a knock-you-out-of-the-park audition.' So I asked if I could see it. And they sent it over to me, and like I said, I watched it and started to cry. And I sent a letter back to the studio saying, 'Wow.' And I think I said the real version of unfreakingbelievable.
Has Jamie read the books or was he going strictly off the script?
I know he's read at least the first book, and he's also read the script.

BOSTON – David Ross understands. His teammates do, too.
"We know this series is not over,'' the Red Sox catcher said Thursday night, minutes after a 4-3 victory over Detroit had put Boston within one victory of their third World Series in 10 years.
No, it's not over. What is removed is the aura of invincibility surrounding Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, who hold the Tigers' hopes of winning Games 6 and 7 at Fenway Park and claiming the American League championship series.
The Red Sox pounced on the Tigers bullpen to win Scherzer's Game 2 start. In Game 3, John Lackey outdueled Verlander 1-0.
And now, the Red Sox return to a home park where they are 56-29, counting playoffs.
The World Series dream is within reach, practically agonizingly so. The Red Sox hold a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 ALCS and have Clay Buchholz and John Lackey lined up to take on Scherzer and – if necessary – Verlander.
"I feel like it's two pretty evenly matched teams, but there is nothing but confidence among the guys we have in here,'' said Buchholz, who will start Game 6 Saturday.
Buchholz was 12-1 with a 1.74 ERA in a season interrupted by a neck injury, but he has come up empty in the playoffs so far.
In the division series at Tampa Bay, he lost a three-run lead in the only game Boston lost.
In Game 2 of the ALCS, he was outstanding for five innings. The Tigers then scored four runs in the sixth, three on Alex Avila's home run, and the game looked lost with Scherzer on the mound.
But Scherzer left after seven innings, David Ortiz hit a grand slam in the eighth and Boston claimed a 6-5 win that changed the series.
Buchholz was a rookie but not on the playoff roster in 2007, the last time the Red Sox went to the World Series. Even a no-hitter Sept. 1 of that year, in his second big league start, was not enough to earn him a spot.
Now comes the chance to pitch his team into baseball's biggest showcase as the final act of a memorable season.
Game 6 was scheduled for Saturday at 4:30 p.m. if the Los Angeles Dodgers stayed alive by beating St. Louis Friday night to force a Game 7 in the NLCS.
A Cardinals' win Friday would have ended that series and pushed back the Red Sox starting time to 8:07.
If the Red Sox and Tigers need a Game 7, it would be Sunday night at 8:07 at Fenway.
Boston won Game 7 of the ALCS in 1986, 2004 and 2007, then swept the World Series in the last of those two seasons.
Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino tried hitting left-handed in Game 5. A hamstring injury made it painful to hit from the left side, where his left leg is the back leg and is used as an anchor.
Victorino went 0 for 3 and said he is abandoning the experiment.
The Tigers have even greater physical concerns. Avila was shaken up by a collision with Ross in Game 5, and eventually had to leave.
He is day-to-day with a knee sprain. The only other catcher on the Tigers roster is Brayan Pena, although Victor Martinez spent most of his career behind the plate and caught three games this year.
Miguel Cabrera is hobbled by a groin strain. Prince Fielder is healthy but is 9 for 37 in the playoffs, with eight singles and a double.
Fielder was booed in Game 5 by Tigers fans who probably remembered last season, when he was similarly shut down in the World Series.
"We're not really settling into any one pattern on him. Our left-handers are throwing the ball in on him,'' Red Sox manager John Farrell said.
"Seemingly, we've kept him on the ground for the most part. It's been just an overall combination of full repertoire, full pitch mix and not sitting with one pitch.''

National Dump the Pump Day is Thursday, June 18
With gas prices creeping up to $3 a gallon and many people concerned about saving money and cutting expenses, the region's transportation agencies are urging residents to ride a bus, train, boat, bike, take a walk, or share a ride on Thursday, June 18, the fourth annual National Dump the Pump Day.
One of the easiest ways to keep more money in your wallet is to park your car at home and hop on public transportation.
King County Metro Transit, Sound Transit and the Washington State Ferries Division are joining agencies across the country to ask those who've never tried public transportation to get on board with saving and take a new ride on Thursday.
Regular transit users are encouraged to make it a "zero drive" day, and only use transit.

I woke up in the middle of the night having remembered I forgot to conclude with the one very important trend for 2008: derivation.
What am I on about? I am talking about the act of acquiring something from a source. This is a topic of constant scrutiny in my industry and everyone ironically feels that everything they have ever created comes from their own head and is original. To be blunt, this is bullshit. Everything – and this cannot be more prevalent than today – is derived from something.
Everyone influences each other, everything comes from something.
When I was at uni, and even going (as far back!) as high school art, we were taught to discuss our influences and inspirations – people and things that moved us and influenced our art, design and writings. Somehow when you get into the workforce and start creating your work you are taught (through bad examples) to pretend you have not looked at anyone else's current work (how many times have I heard, 'Oh? No, I have never heard of them' meaning 'darling, I am so busy with my own work, do you think I have time to look at someone else's?' which might as well be followed with, 'Do you have any idea who I am?!') that you have no idea what is going on around you, and that no one but your own self-centred inner self turns your light on. And in my experience this is based on fear - God forbid, it might show that your work is not purely original and has been influenced by your peers and surroundings.
I don't abide by this bad habit. Because of course I have been influenced by my peers and contemporaries – so was Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec and friends. And of course my work has derived from something else. We are all part of a collective consciousness and we move with it, collectively. It is good practice to recognise your influences and discuss them as equals. Share, give, and be grateful. 2008 has no room for individuals who shout 'this is mine!'. Be careful what you claim to be your own, because if you do your homework you will see that there is a direct trail left behind you of where you actually got your idea, and that often leads back to the very place you are trying to claim it from.
This idea of derivation will be more accepted in this coming decade as we move toward reworking old designs, renovating and being more resourceful with what we have. We will recognise that all things come from something – that is how we will evolve with what we have. It will be your service, dedication and passion that will distinguish you.
(now on with hunting and gathering!...)

Kaitlin O'Mara crossed the finish line of Saturday's road race bubbly and in good spirits.
Much the same way she finished races since she began running at an early age and blossomed into an All-State track and cross country performer.
This was far from just another race, however.
Completing the Kayla O'Mara Memorial Run represented another step in the recent Goodrich graduate's long healing process, some 19 months after an automobile accident claimed the life of her identical twin sister and left Kaitlin and teammate Danielle Bila severely injured.
O'Mara finished the 5-kilometer race in 20 minutes, 45 seconds, roughly two minutes slower than the times she was running before the accident during her junior year at Goodrich and just two months after helping the Martians to a third straight state cross country title.
Still, the time was good enough for 21st among women and 83rd overall in the field of 563 and was more than two minutes faster than her time in last year's inaugural race.
Finishing times, however, ceased to be important to O'Mara long ago. Seeing another outpouring of support for her late sister mattered most.
"I'm just so excited to see all the people who have come out for this again," said O'Mara, whose shirt was embroidered with a picture of the close-knit sisters. "It's great to see all the people, who knew Kayla and loved her, show this much support. It's nice to see so many people focused on her and what this race is really all about. I know, for most people, running a good time today is not what is the most important thing."
Complications from the January 2006 accident, which included memory loss, required a long hospital stay and months of rehabilitation. O'Mara made one track appearance four months later, running a relay leg in the Genesee Area Conference Red Division Meet. She tried to regain her All-State form through summer workouts.
The comeback was brief, however. O'Mara returned for a few cross country races last fall before leaving the team. She left open the slight possibility of running track this past spring, but opted not to.
"I tried coming back for cross country, but it just did not work out for me," she said. "It was not fun for me at all. When it came time for track this spring, I just didn't feel like I wanted to put myself through that misery again."
O'Mara's recovery, though, has been remarkable.
She has regained her former physique through running and regular workouts. Despite months of missed school, O'Mara graduated fifth in her class from Goodrich and will study physical therapy at the University of Michigan-Flint this fall.
"I went through a period of time when I was sad and really frustrated about everything, but I'm feeling better now," O'Mara said. "I'm trying run or work out indoors every day."
Each day that passes without her sister, however, does little to lessen the loss.
"I don't know if I will ever fully get over it because we were such a part of each other," she said. "I'm still saying things like our room, our clothes or our house and using 'we' when I talk. It's been hard getting used to Kayla not being around."
While Dennis O'Mara's heart will be forever heavy with the loss of one of his three daughters, it is warmed by the recovery of another.
"I don't know if you could call it a miracle or not," he said. "But it's amazing to see where Kaitlin is now. Her recovery has been impressive. Yes."

AUBURN, Alabama -- Nick Marshall's heroics in the Iron Bowl have earned the Auburn quarterback the SEC's Offensive Player of the Week award for the third time.
The junior rushed for 99 yards and one touchdown and was 11-of-16 passing for 97 yards and two touchdowns in the Tigers' 34-28 victory against Alabama on Saturday.
Marshall threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Sammie Coates to tie the game with 32 seconds remaining to help lead the Tigers to their fourth, fourth-quarter comeback this season.
"I just stay calm and just keep doing what coach tells me to do, just don't get too rattled, just be cool, calm and collected, and everything else will fall into place," Marshall said.
Alabama was allowing an average of 91.3 rushing yards per game entering the Iron Bowl and gave up 296 yards to the Tigers.
Auburn running back Tre Mason rushed for 164 yards and one touchdown on 29 carries.
Marshall was named the SEC's Offensive Player of the Week following wins against Texas A&M and Tennessee.
Auburn has picked up 11 individual weekly honors from the SEC this season. Chris Davis was named the SEC's Special Teams Player of the Week for his game-winning 109-yard return on a missed field goal.

Opinion: Redskins should drop 'offensive' name
Wednesday, January 7, 2004
"The NFL has been caught up in some of the 'Age of Terrorism' hysteria, so what better public relations move than to re-name the Redskins the Washington Americans. Its an easy way to get rid of a REALLY offensive name, let the world know that the Americans play football in the same city as the President, Congress and the Supreme Court and open a nationwide revenue stream for flag-waving citizens to wear the new Americans jersey (and numerous other apparel items). How can you lose? For Snyder, who tends to pay more for players and coaches no longer with his team, it would be a financial windfall. Hed not only get his cut for the new Americans merchandise, he could continue to satisfy purists by continuing to market the old Redskins merchandise now double the price because it contains the word Classic on the inflated price tag."

Crowding out is an idea often used by fiscal conservatives to suggest that a strategy of using fiscal policy to stimulate demand during an economic recession might not be particularly effective.
What is crowding out?
The essence of the crowding-out argument is as follows:
Expectations of higher taxes: For instance, if a government reduces direct and/or indirect taxes today, households expect future taxes to rise to pay for the higher budget deficits, thus, people will choose to save more leaving aggregate demand unchanged.
Higher interest rates: A partial crowding out of private consumption by government expenditure can also occur through the effect that increased public borrowing has on rising interest rates – especially in countries with high levels of debt. When borrowing is high the price of bonds may fall driving the yield on a bond upwards. Interest rates such as mortgage rates and the cost of corporate bonds tend to take their cue from what is happening to interest rates on government bonds. The higher interest rates then lead consumers to postpone part of their planned consumption.
Most of the evidence that we have suggests that crowding-out is unlikely to be 100% and that fiscal policy does have a role to play in stimulating domestic demand. Consumers often look back at what happened to their incomes last year rather than looking forward to what they expect to happen to their tax bills. Secondly lower-income consumers many of whom have few if any savings tend to spend a high share of any boost to their disposable income when taxes fall - they have a high marginal propensity to spend. This hints that targeted fiscal measures such as tax cuts for lower income groups or infrastructure spending that boosts employment in industries where wages are relatively low can have a significant impact on demand.
If crowding out is not a major problem - fiscal policy can play an important counter-cyclical role "leaning against the wind" of the economic cycle.
Given that the global fiscal stimulus already announced by the G20 countries amounts to something approaching 2% of world GDP - we will see in 2009 and 2010 just how strong is the fiscal impulse given to global demand during the economic and financial crisis.

Pollard: 'I Really Hope the Giants Put a Thrashing on the Patriots'
After the Baltimore Ravens' loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, safety Bernard Pollard is hoping for the New York Giants to deliver a big blow to the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
"I really hope the Giants – I just hope they just put a thrashing on the Patriots. I really do," Pollard told a Houston radio station, via ESPN.com.
While I'd love to see that happen, and I respect Pollard for not giving a vanilla answer, this probably won't happen. The Patriots haven't been "thrashed" all season long. In fact, all three of New England's losses have been by a total of 15 points.
It would be challenging for any team to blowout New England because the Patriots' mindset is to outscore you. The Giants, who boasted the league's fourth-worst pass defense in the regular season, could have trouble slowing down New England's aerial assault if their vaunted front-four can't get to quarterback Tom Brady.

The change reached a crescendo this past winter when the sophomore helped the Flying Dutch reach the NCAA Division III women's basketball Elite 8.
"It was a crazy journey," Sudberry said. "We knew we had the potential to go far. The support of the community made it even better."
The 5-foot-9 guard was a standout performer at Clio, earning first-team All-Metro League honors during her last two seasons. When she arrived in Holland, she had to play in all but one game of her freshman campaign on the school's junior varsity squad.
While taking a reserve role was a far cry from her position at Clio, not being put on the main stage right away ended up helping her out. Sudberry was able to further hone her skills, allowing her to develop into a solid role player.
"I knew coming to Hope, I was going to an elite program," Sudberry said. "I wanted the community environment, to play in front of the big crowds. It was a learning process so I would be able to make a contribution when I made the varsity team."
Sudberry was moved up to Hope's varsity squad this past winter, and she appeared in 23 of its 31 games. While her main role was that of a scorer at Clio, she was called upon for defensive purposes at Hope.
She helped the Flying Dutch hold their opponents to only 44.9 points and 33.3 percent shooting per game. Coming off the bench, she average 7.2 minutes, 2.2 points and 1.1 rebounds per contest.
"I never come out there, trying to be a scorer," Sudberry said. "I want to focus on defense. I want to pressure the ball and make sure I'm help-side."
Defense ended up being one of the main reasons Hope was able to post a 29-2 overall record and capture a share of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association regular-season title.
The turning point of Hope's season came after a 64-59 loss at Calvin College on Jan. 12. The Flying Dutch then reeled off 15 straight victories, including two triumphs over Calvin.
Hope beat Calvin, 65-50, on Feb. 16 at Hope before downing the Knights, 62-59, in the MIAA championship game on Feb. 23 at Calvin.
"We had a lot to prove," Sudberry said. "It meant a lot to beat them at home, but to beat them at their place, especially in the MIAA tournament, it was very cool."
Hope captured its first four NCAA tournament games by double-digit margins before losing, 65-60, to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in the Elite 8.
The 20-year-old said she is going to continue to work hard in the off-season so she can improve her game and hopefully help the Flying Dutch have another long tournament run next year.
She is also excelling in the classroom, having made the Dean's List the previous two semesters. She is pursuing a bachelor's degree in business management.
"Our team is very versatile," Sudberry said. "I'm looking forward to getting better and hopefully becoming the role player this team needs me to be. I wouldn't trade this team or this school for anything in the world."

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Developer Bob Broadway goes before the Huntsville Historic Preservation Commission for a second time Monday to make a case for partially demolishing East Clinton School.
Broadway said he will present two possible options that spare the school's Art Deco façade while allowing him to build new houses on the rest of the 3.6-acre property. The 4:30 p.m. preservation commission meeting has been moved to the ground floor of Huntsville City Hall to accommodate an expected large crowd.
Last month, the commission voted 6-2 against Broadway's petition to knock down the empty school. Chairman Jack Burwell said the Depression-era structure, erected by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration, is one of the buildings that "really make" the Old Town Historic District.
Broadway regrouped quickly and is now proposing to keep at least part of the school's 1938 façade.
His first option is to leave the entire façade along Clinton Avenue and turn it into four private condos. But Broadway said that will work only if the city agrees to rezone the property - current zoning permits only another public school, church or single-family residences - and prospective condo buyers come forward.
Although the condo idea received nine "likes" at an Imagine Huntsville forum last week, Broadway said no one has contacted him about purchasing a unit. "There would need to be demand," he said.
The second option - and the one Broadway seems to prefer - involves keeping a smaller section of façade around East Clinton's main entrance. Broadway said he has had two calls from people interested in turning the roughly 2,200-square foot space into a private home. However, he said he would rather fix it up and donate it to a local civic group.
"I'd like it to be something the community could use," Broadway said Friday. "I've offered to give it to the Old Town Historic District Association, but they've told me they're not able to financially maintain the building."
Broadway said preserving the entire façade leaves room for 11 new homes that would mimic early 1900s bungalows. He could fit in 13 houses if he keeps only the area around the main entrance. Broadway said the extra money from selling two more homes would allow him to restore the scaled-down East Clinton and add heavy landscaping.
"Option B is more of a guarantee for the neighborhood that the building would be renovated," he said. "We're preserving what most people feel is the most important part of the building."
A local public relations firm is helping Broadway share his vision for the East Clinton property. Nearly 1,500 flyers with architect's renderings of both Broadway plans appeared in mailboxes today in Old Town, Twickenham and Five Points. The firm will conduct a weekend telephone survey to see which idea residents prefer.
Both options would involve tearing down the rear portions of the school, including classroom wings attached to the façade that date to the 1930s.
The city school system closed East Clinton in May 2012 as part of an initiative to eliminate surplus classroom space. Broadway's development company, The Broadway Group, agreed to buy the site in December for just under $1.6 million.
School officials seem to be making contingency plans in case the deal with Broadway falls through. According to its website, the school system is seeking bids from companies to "furnish and install" a chain link fence around East Clinton. The bids are scheduled to be opened on Thursday, April 11.
