SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — There's a happy ending for a Northern California girl who offered her piggy bank savings for the return of her stolen puppy.
Ten-year-old Marissa Mabanag's dog was stolen during a burglary this week at her San Jose home.
The girl offered the contents of her piggy bank to boost the $6,000 in reward money gathered by San Jose police and firefighters unions and Councilman Ash Kalra.
The San Francisco Chronicle says her dog Meeko, a shih tzu-Yorkie mix, was found Wednesday in a Target store parking lot 80 miles away in Merced County.
Police union president Jim Unland says Blanca Del Real, the woman who found the puppy at the Los Banos Target store parking lot, will receive the $6,000 reward.

First the winch itself: I bought the 3500# winch with Nylon line. I've already use it to pull the RZR out of an 8foot ditch behind my house. It got quite hot, but worked great. The RZR frame is predrilled for everything but the remote socket so once you figure out how everything is supposed to fit, it all fit's nicely. The duty cycle in the manual for the winch appears to be pretty conservative, but it's also kindof pathetic.. By the chart in the manual: at full weight you should only pull 1 foot every 10 minutes. The contactor mounts to predrilled holes in the firewall. You'll need a 2nd set of hands to install this. It's not possible to reach both sides by yourself. Everything is color coded. The bigest pain istalling this was routing the big wire to the battery. I used a fishtape to pull this through were the other wiring harness runs. Otherwise your probably pulling the skid plate off the bottom to get at it. The instructions that come with this thing are AWEFUL. There is confusing/ambigous text explaining unhelpfull grainy photos. Assume you'll be installing it by trial and error.

Warning: Incoming Wall of Text.
I've started this blog post many times over during the past few years, but decided that it was finally time to write it up and post it. The question, quite simply (right, like this is going to be simple), is "What is a Mormon?" or alternately "Who is a Mormon?"
The original genesis of this post came from my time at Yale, mostly from two different encounters. The first was the encounter with liberal Protestants. To be clear, "liberal Protestant" is a vague term, but in my experience it included people who claimed to be Christian, but didn't believe in the divinity of Christ. Sure, he was a nice guy, we think, and said some good stuff, we think, and we can do good things in his name, but as far as that entire "Son of God" thing, well, that's not something we can know, so we shouldn't bother. The epitome of this was a student named Jay, who said that scripture, reason, and tradition were the "unholy trinity" of Christianity, and we ought to abandon them. I'm not sure if his position was all that well thought out, but the arrogance that idea displayed astounded me. You just want to ignore the founding documents of your religion and the last 2k years of trying to understand them? My response was, "Well, if we're making our religion up, I'm going backpacking. I dunno why you want to sit in pews and sing hymns. That's BORING!" Part of me feels that C.S. Lewis was at least partially right-that Jesus has presented us with a binary choice. "Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse . . . But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us." But then we get into issues of who actually wrote Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and I think Lewis has also oversimplified the situation. I am sympathetic completely with Richard Neibuhr's statement: liberal protestants of the 1930s say that "a God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross." Seems that they've missed a large part of the boat. Doctrine may not be the most important aspect of being a Christian, but it's not unimportant either.
The second encounter at Yale was with one of my LDS friends. This friend still attends church in New York City, and even teaches the High Priest's quorum, but he does not believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet (but he was "inspired"), that the Book of Mormon is historical in any sense (but it's certainly got some good teachings and has some religious value), that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet (again, "inspired"), that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the "only true and living church" (though it is where God wants him to be), or any of the other relatively fundamental doctrines of the LDS church. I've wanted to write this post for a while, and title it "[Name], Buddy, You're Not a Mormon!" But I was never quite comfortable saying that, so it languished in the back of my mind and I never got around to writing this post.
However, recently I've come across a different impetus. I've been listening to podcasts during my runs. One of my favorites is Mormon Stories, usually hosted by John Dehlin. John interviews a variety of Mormons from Greg Prince, who is on my stake high council and wrote "David O. McKay and the Beginnings of Modern Mormonism" to Lisa Butterworth, the founder of the Feminist Mormon Housewives blog. The topics range all over the place, and for anybody who hasn't listened to them, I highly recommend them. A community has grown up around the podcast and they've recently started having Mormon Stories conferences. At their most recent conference in Salt Lake City, they came up with a set of value statements that I think are most enlightening to their aims. I reproduce them here with their caveat that this represents "a draft that is open for discussion."
1. We choose to self-identify as Mormons. We claim this identity based on our genealogies, upbringings, beliefs, relationships, and other life experiences.
2. We believe that one can be Mormon or claim a Mormon identity without necessarily adhering to the teachings or doctrines of any religious organization.
3. We celebrate the richness of Mormon heritage, teachings, and community in all of its diversity.
4. We seek spaces where we as Mormons can live lives of intellectual and spiritual integrity, individual conscience, and personal dignity.
5. We acknowledge and honor different spiritual paths and modes of religious or non-religious truth-seeking. We respect the convictions of those who subscribe to ideas and beliefs that differ from our own.
6. We recognize the confusion, distress, emotional trauma, and social ostracism that often accompany personal faith crises. We seek constructive ways of helping and supporting those experiencing such crises, regardless of their ultimate decisions regarding church affiliation or activity.
7. We affirm the inherent and equal worth of all human beings. We seek spaces where Mormons (and all people) can interact as equals regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. In this spirit of egalitarianism, we prefer non-authoritarian and non-hierarchical means of organization and affiliation.
There's some interesting stuff there, and last week on my runs I listened to the podcasts from the conference, namely talks by Carolyn Lynn Pearson and Joanna Brooks. Joanna made me stop in the middle of the run after I started laughing so hard when she exclaims in dismay that there are no tissues at the pulpit, since it was at a Unitarian church, and apparently Unitarians don't cry at the pulpit like Mormons do. So, I finally decided to dust off the idea for a blog post about the definition of Mormonism. Since the draft of those seven principles is open for discussion, this is my attempt at continuing the discussion. I will also be responding directly to things that were said in those podcasts.
I am extremely uncomfortable with any definition of Mormon that doesn't include some kind of religious belief. Both Joanna and Carolyn make a big deal over the fact that Jewish identity is not wrapped up in Judaism. You can still call an atheist Jew a Jew. Joanna, however, rightly points out briefly that there are problems with equating Jewishness to Mormonness, but doesn't elaborate on the point. I'm not sure what she would say if she were to elaborate on it, but I think that one thing which is quite clear is that Mormons are not a unique, genealogically related people the same way Jews are. I could become an adherent to Judaism, but I would not be a Jew. A Jew could become a Mormon, and he would just be a Mormon. So to say that Mormon identity can be similarly discussed like Jewish identity is a huge mistake.
I think a better comparison would be Islam. Can you really be a Muslim without believing the shahada, that "there is no God but God, and Muhammed is the messenger of God?" I don't think so. Islam is not a genetic identity. It's much more wrapped up in belief, as I've talked about before. Of course, there's also the orthopraxic side of Islam, but I think even if you don't pray five times a day you could still be considered a Muslim, just one who doesn't follow that particular pillar of Islam. But I think the shahada is non-negotiable. Are there similar beliefs in Mormonism?
New Order Mormons don't think so. The Mormon Stories podcast with one of their founders was a very interesting one to listen to. She basically said that we're all "buffet Mormons" to some extent, picking and choosing which doctrines we believe. So why not embrace that fact? And while I agree in part, I am uncomfortable with the idea that you can simply pick and choose anything to believe and still be Mormon. I'm probably overstating her case, so go listen to her podcast. Are there no necessary and sufficient conditions to be Mormon? Or is this like Sarah Palin calling herself a feminist, when she is pro-life. Can you be pro-life and a feminist? (I hope so.) Can you be an atheist and a Mormon? (I don't think so.) Are we all simply "making it up?" If so . . . well, I'm going backpacking, just like I told my liberal Protestant friends at Yale.
So what do you have to believe to be Mormon? The temple recommend or baptismal questions might be a good place to start, and they are interesting because they are mostly orthopraxic, not so much orthodoxic. But there are statements about the Godhead, Jesus Christ as Savior, the restoration of the gospel, and the modern church leaders as prophets. As far as orthodoxy goes, that's not very much (even with all it entails). Certainly less theologically dense than even citing a creed in mass, if you know what the creed entails.
But then there's the niggling thought in the back of my mind that my friend in New York City cannot answer those questions the way the church would like, yet he still shows up to church and serves every week. He is clear and open to his bishop and does not want the Church to change to suit his whims. He is okay not holding a temple recommend, for example. Is he really not a Mormon? Or perhaps a contrasting example from one of the presenters at the Faith and Knowledge conference at Duke earlier this year will be enlightening. This presenter said it was completely okay to lie to the bishop about his Word of Wisdom violations in order to attend a family member's sealing. To be clear, "uncomfortable" doesn't even begin to describe what I feel for that particular aspect of what this presenter said at the conference. "Honest in your dealings with your fellow man" anybody? But does such a blatant violation of LDS rules mean he is not a Mormon?
Perhaps instead of Islam, a better analogy would be Catholicism. I recently read this article, and really liked the third option it gave, i.e. a Catholic is someone who believes somehow in the sacraments and sacramentals, and this belief ends up creating cultural Catholics more easily identified because of statues, pictures of Mary, etc. Calling this third option "cultural" doesn't quite capture the nuance of the idea; there's definitely something religious going on. And they do say their creed at every mass. But if we want to apply this rule to Mormonism, then we run into the problem that to participate in the LDS ordinances (sacraments), you need to answer the recommend questions correctly. I had to show mine to one of my brother-in-laws bishopric so I could help confirm my nephew last weekend. Oddly enough, though, nobody checks your worthiness week to week to take the sacrament, arguably the most central ordinance in the church. But that's probably because of the impossibility of thoroughly interviewing everybody who shows up at church every week.
I very much don't like the idea that the definition of "Mormon" is merely membership records, because heaven knows there are plenty of "Mormons" by that standard that don't go to church, don't believe anything at all church-related (or at least uniquely LDS, many will of course be Christians of one variety or another), and don't claim membership in the church or of the term "Mormon." So that's not a good definition, even if you can only make your "I'm a Mormon" profile at Mormon.org if you have a membership record. (And at least the church's PR department is working to make us not seem like this Newsweek cover from 2001.)
Mormons are getting more exposure, and "member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," is probably the most commonly accepted definition. I've even seen the mainstream media mostly get basic Mormon beliefs correct!
Nor should the definition be just those who actually show up on Sundays, because there are many that claim to be Mormon, but don't go to church regularly. We call them "inactive," but still Mormon. Grant Hardy made an interesting observation to me at a fireside he was giving here in DC when he said that he thinks the gospel works better when we're a minority. The local leaders can't be as picky when they have to deal solely with whoever shows up, warms chairs, and fulfills callings. I wonder if those we would term "inactive" still self-identify as Mormon when they live in areas that are not predominately LDS? Is "inactive" a category that really only works in the Mormon corridor?
The values statement above says that "we choose to self-identify as Mormon," and Joanna talks a lot about that in her remarks. Her field of study is different than mine, though both are in the general realm of "religion," so I defer to her expertise on matters of self-identity and identity formation. And perhaps it's just the theologian in me, but I think beliefs and doctrines matter. If anybody can claim to be a Mormon, then the term "Mormon" loses all meaning, even if it's true that "the distinction between Mormon and non-Mormon is not as bright as many believe."
If we just want to do good works and help people, what makes us different from the Rotary club? On this subject I very much more agree with Stephen Prothero's God is not One which basically says that to call all religions the same and water them down to an injunction to "be nice" does a great injustice to all of them. Mormon pioneers did not cross oceans and walk across continents because God merely told them to "be nice." There was a greater depth of feeling and belief there. Catholic priests don't give up family relations and take vows of celibacy or poverty because God wants them to "be nice." Buddhists don't try to achieve enlightenment by "being nice," they try to get rid of all desires, a thing diametrically opposed to the monotheistic idea that we should love God first, eternally, and then love our neighbor. Muslims don't proclaim that there is no God but God, and Muhammed is the messenger of God to "be nice." There is much more going on in all of these religions. To water them down is to wipe away the boundaries that separate us, and not all boundaries are bad. Identity is based on boundaries. On this issue, I found myself agreeing with Margaret Toscano from one of the other podcasts from the Salt Lake Mormon Stories conference, and completely agreeing with Margaret Toscano is not something that I thought was ever going to happen in my lifetime! (It may never happen again.)
I also absolutely agree with Carolyn that we should all be more inclusive. Being a Mormon doesn't mean we all need to be "stormtroopers for Jesus" with no individual differences. However, I being inclusive doesn't mean that labels aren't valuable or useful. I certainly think the ultimate goal of the church is to create Zion, a people of one heart and one mind, but that does not mean we all need to look like the above cover of Newsweek. And I'm sure there will be differences of opinion even after we've created Zion. So "one heart and one mind" doesn't equal "absolute homogeneity."
I have a bit of experience with exclusiveness. Our first Mormon Stories meetup here in DC was arranged by one of the founders of Staylds.com. I showed up and had a good time talking with everybody, and as we went around the table introducing ourselves in the foodcourt at Tyson's Corner in Virginia, I said that I was still a TBM (which in internet bloggernacle parlance means "true believing Mormon"). That earned me a comment from one of the other attendees. "Do we let TBMs come here?" So, the inclusiveness/exclusiveness sword cuts both ways. Not everybody who listens to Mormon Stories is having or has had a crisis of faith. Does that exclude me from the community that's being built up around the podcasts?
Do Mormons need to be less judgmental? Absolutely. Does that mean that judgments are never acceptable? No. Do Mormons need to be more forgiving of those that are different? Yes. Does that mean that we should not have codes of conduct or articles of faith? No.
I realize that there is no one answer that everybody will agree on as the definition of "Mormon." Yet there are a few things that I think any definition of "Mormon" must have.
1. An element of self-identity. You must claim the term "Mormon" somehow to be one.
2. A religious element. I'm very uncomfortable with the term becoming something like "Jew." It needs to be more like "Muslim," or better yet "Catholic." This aspect needs to be primary and necessary.
3. An active communal element. There seems to me to be something fundamentally wrong with being a Mormon in isolation. Attend church. Show up for service projects. Post and talk on internet forums. Go to Mormon Stories conferences. Sunstone. MHA. Our biannual Faith and Knowledge Conference for LDS graduate students in religion. Something. Claim the identity and then still be trying to figure out what that means for you in your life! Like Joanna said, we all want to feel useful, and you can't be useful if you don't show up in some sense! "Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness."
To this end, I submit MY current definition of the term "Mormon."
The people who claim the term '"Mormon," feel comfortable showing up in church on Sundays at least some of the time because of their religious beliefs, and try to participate in the community are Mormons.
They might not hold temple recommends. They might not be orthodox (whatever that term means in a modern-revelation-based church). They might disagree with the brethren. They might not like their bishop. They might never do their home/visiting teaching.
But if I were their bishop, I wouldn't tell them they weren't Mormon. I must be honest, I'm a TBM. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior, and that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with all its failings (especially the Church's building committee and the correlation committee, in which I am not alone based on this article from the Church-owned Deseret News) is God's kingdom, and is led by true prophets, with all of their human fallibilities. So I would try to get these people to come to my understanding, which I believe is the correct one. But if they are showing up and trying to figure it out, that's fine by me. They are trying to actively be part of the body of Christ, and I would do my best to make things work. We might mythologize the lost sheep, but we need to remember that the shepherd didn't move the flock to it; he brought it back to the flock.
Perhaps a better way to deal with this whole messy issue of defining what "Mormon" means is simply to add additional adjectives. I'm a "true believing" Mormon. I also like the term "mainstream." John Dehlin calls himself a "non-correlated" Mormon. My friend in New York uses the term "neo-liberal" Mormon. I also like this idea; it lets the term "Mormon" be broad enough that we don't exclude people, but allows for enough nuance in the discussion that we still have useful categories. But for now, I'm sticking with my definition.
As always, I reserve the right to change my (possibly wrong) opinion.
TL;DR "Mormon" is a religious term. If it changes to something else, cultural or whatever, we've lost something that we shouldn't have.
Thanks to Brian J., the other Brian J. (haha!), Michael, and Susan for reading drafts of this. Michael's response was so detailed that I didn't want to include it in this post, so he gets the honor of the first comment.
Edit: I went back and added one bit to the final definition. The words "because of their religious beliefs" were not in the original post.

It was a diverse movement of demonstrations, marches, plaza occupations, riots, non-violent civil resistance, acts of civil disobedience and labor strikes. Millions of protesters from a variety of socio-economic and religious backgrounds demanded the overthrow of the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. There were also important Islamic, anti-capitalist, and feminist currents of the revolution. Violent clashes between security forces and protesters resulted in at least 846 people killed and 6,000 injured. Protesters also burned upwards of 90 police stations, though international media and politicians attempted to minimize that aspect of the revolt. Protests took place in Cairo, Alexandria, and in other cities in Egypt, following the Tunisian revolution that resulted in the overthrow of the long-time Tunisian president.
Grievances of Egyptian protesters were focused on legal and political issues including police brutality, state of emergency laws, lack of free elections and freedom of speech, corruption, and economic issues including high unemployment, food price inflation and low wages. The primary demands from protesters were the end of the Hosni Mubarak regime, the end of emergency law, freedom, justice, a responsive non-military government and a say in the management of Egypt's resources. Strikes by labour unions added to the pressure on government officials.

The Lady Greyhounds fell 9-0 Thursday night against the second-place ranked Bishop McGuinness Villains.
Coach Julie Gammons said she was proud of how well the Greyhounds fought against an aggressive hitting and baseline pounding Villain team.
The two number one seeded players battled it out in an extremely competitive match. Kendall Cortes of the Villains battled against Greyhound Sarah Glasco in an intense skirmish. Bishop McGuiness Coach Catherine Lassiter described her number one ranked player, Cortes, as a player who gets to the ball and judges where it is going quickly. Glasco fought back with power-hitting style, adept footwork and extreme mental toughness, but fell with a match total of 6-3, 4-6, 8-10.
Other single match-ups were Harriette Blackburn against Morgan Auger (2-6, 3-6), Chainey Kuykendall against Adaire Hudson (2-6, 1-6), Lakin East against Anna Owen (2-6, 0-6), Jazzman Pugh against Megan McDowell (0-6, 1-6) and Chantel Davis against Anna Petrangeli (1-6, 1-6).
The Villains further swept in doubles 8-5, 8-0, and 8-3.
The night was a loss in tennis for the Greyhounds, but it was a huge win for the girls celebrating Senior Night. Seniors on the team are Chainey Kuykendall, Lakin East, Jazzmyn Pugh, Chantel Davis, Katie Chandler, Summer Sechrist and Emily Calhoun.
Coach Julie Gammons and the rest of the team presented these seniors with a touching memorial that moved the seniors some said to tears. The memorial consisted of handmade hair ribbons, signed banners, a rose, a memorial tennis ball and hand-decorated T-shirts for each player.
Senior Chantel Davis commented that she was deeply moved by such thoughtfulness but also commented that she was unhappy with her performance against Petrangeli whom she described as consistent and ambitious.

We're super excited to let you know that Patrick Watson will play Massey Hall this December, hot on the heels of the release of their album Adventures In Your Own Backyard. Now Magazine calls the record a "sneaky surprise" and gives it 4 Ns, and Consequence of Sound remarks that the whole album has a "beautiful richness." You can check out some of the new material for yourself by enjoying the utterly charming video for "Into Giants" available on the band's website adventuresinyourownbackyard.com. Tickets for this concert are available to FriendsFirst members on Thursday and to the general public on Friday.
We're also thrilled to advise you that Jesse Cook will be returning to Massey Hall this November. Can't wait until then? Lucky for you, the good folks over at CBC Music captured some video from Mr. Cook's home studio where he showcases a few songs for your viewing and listening pleasure. Tickets for this one are available to FriendsFirst members on Wednesday and to the general public on Friday.
Sophie Milman (Friday): Sophie Milman returns to Massey Hall in what promises to be a triumphant performance after releasing of her latest album, In the Moonlight. Ms. Milman's performance will be preceded by a set from the Robi Botos Trio which also promises greatness. Need proof? Check out this stellar review of their debut recording from Exclaim! (Kerry Doole calls the album "superb" and comments, "Botos has been termed the heir apparent to Oscar Peterson, and the combination of technical skill and soulful passion in his playing gives credibility to that claim.")
Whoopi Goldberg (Friday): Whoopi Goldberg pays a visit to Roy Thomson Hall in a special engagement from Unique Lives & Experiences. I'm sure we don't have to tell you that this star has a seriously accomplished CV including some shiny hardware: she's won an Oscar, a Tony, an Emmy, a Grammy, and the Mark Twain Award for humour. You can catch her on The View, of course, and just this month she made a recurring guest appearance on Glee.
George Thorogood and The Destroyers (Saturday): The man and his band behind hits "Who Do You Love" and "Bad to the Bone" (check out the embedded video above) make their way back to Massey Hall for a show that should tear down the house this Saturday evening. Gordie Johnson hits the stage first with his new project "Sit Down, Servant!!". For a description of the project, check out the bio here.

Sullivan: "Freeman Is Our QB, And He's A Heck Of A Player"
Beat Writer
Bucs head coach Greg Schiano spoke with the media following Wednesday's practice and discussed the move at right tackle, what challenges Tony Romo brings to the defense, and what makes DeMarcus Ware such a threat in Dallas' pass rush.
Did you make a change at right tackle with Demar Dotson? Is he going to stay there?
"Yeah, for the time being, yup."
What did you base that decision on? Obviously he looked good against the Giants.
"Yeah, but it wasn't just that; it's cumulative body of work as all decisions are. But I feel good because I feel we have some depth at tackle, which is good."
Talk about his style – what does he bring to this team?
"He has an athleticism to protect in the pass game. He needs to improve in many ways, but we all do. I just think he gives us the best chance to win this week. It doesn't have anything to do with down the road or anything like that, just this week, this is what gives us the best chance."
What is the challenge of stopping Tony Romo?
"Well, he's a dangerous quarterback and he's especially dangerous when he extends plays. And he's a hard guy to keep from extending the plays. When you look at the big play reel, a lot of them are – it's not initially open and then he moves, and it's not like a – I mean, he can scramble and get yards, but that's not what he's looking to do, he's looking to extend the pass play and he's got a strong arm on the run, and he delivers the ball accurately and they've made several big plays when he does that. So try to keep him in there, but it's not easy to do, I mean that's one of his talents."
Do you expect Dallas to throw on you considering the amount of yards the Bucs have given up in two weeks?
"Oh I would think so, yeah. That's what they - they're a run-pass mix anyway but they're not afraid to throw the ball; and until we stop it, why would they?"
Have you been able to find a common denominator for the big plays given up the past two weeks in the passing game?
"Common denominator? Well there's only so many things it can be attributed to. Either we're not pressuring the quarterback enough or we're not covering well enough. Now the reasons why that is – there's several. You can help with play selection, you can help with better technique, we have to coach them better and get them in a better position to make the play, and technique-wise, we've got to hold them accountable for playing great technique. That's our job; we got to get them to do it. We have players that can do it, we got to get them to that point where they will – consistently."
You brought in Jordan Shipley yesterday – is that because of an injury to Sammie Stroughter?
"Sammie (Stroughter) has an issue with his foot, yeah. "
Do you expect that to be a long term issue?
"Could be. Yeah, could be. You never know when someone's sore and it's bigger than you think, right? Could be long term, yes. I thought we're fortunate that Jordan (Shipley) was available. Because we were comfortable with him when he was here, we really liked him, but just space and numbers."
What has Mark Barron showed you so far?
"I think that Mark (Barron) has shown that he's a quality NFL starter. He's made plays. He's covered one on one. He's been a physical presence. He's got a lot of room for improvement, which is exciting because he's already done these things, so he can really be a fabulous player. We just got to keep moving forward."
Would you consider doing less single safety stuff?
"We'll mix it up. There may be less, there may be more. I would never tip that in this type of an environment. We always look at it and try to do it in different ways formationally. Sometimes you don't necessarily know, it could end up either or. We do some two play defensive stuff. WE do control it. We have a way to control it."
So you think you have the guys to play that style?
"Yeah, we all just have to do better. We have to coach better, they have to play better, I do think we can, sure. Now, there's some great receivers there and we're seeing them week after week here."
Is tackling part of the problem?
"I want to tackle better than we have the last two weeks, but it's markedly improved. I wouldn't say that, if you sat there and said tackling is the issue, I don't think so. We want to get better at it, but covering and pressuring, this past week it was incredible some of the throws. Throwing it falling away, that's why he is who he is. But we have to do better. There's not asterisk. We have to stop them."
Does Miles Austin and Dez Bryant present a big challenge?
"Oh, yeah; a big challenge. Both of them are big guys. Miles (Austin) I have a history with. I'm probably the knucklehead of the week who didn't recruit either one of them, and there's no doubt, when Michael [Victor Cruz] looked at me at one point during the game, if I could tell you what his eyes said it said it all. Miles got the same feeling, both Jersey kids who wound up going to UMass and Monmouth respectively, so there's a genius move. But they're good players we have our hands full back there."
You were with the secondary a lot during practice - are they just minor adjustments that have to be made in the secondary?
"I always spend time there. That's where I've coached my entire career, so maybe I was down there a little more, but I'm always there. That's where I gravitate. I have to force myself not to go there but it's like a magnet. It's not fun to be the secondary coach here probably because the head coach is always there."
Talk about DeMarcus Ware as a pass rusher.
"I didn't have a great understanding of him until we started studying the Cowboys, because like I told you guys many times, I didn't have a chance to study pro football because I was working. He is one of the best players in this league as far as just production and consistency. He plays hard all the time, he's relentless and he's got incredible pass rush technique. And he lines up everywhere, too. He lines up as a linebacker, as a D-end, he's covered down in space, and this guy, not only is he a special player, but I really respect the way he plays. He plays the game with a great focus."
What challenges does Dallas present to the run game?
"We're going to run the ball. And Doug (Martin) has done that. Doug's had a lot of touches. We need to run it better than we did the other day. And I said this. We have to be able to run when we want to run. Dallas is going to have a say in that. They're going to load the box. They do several different things. One of the big things we're going to have to do is identify what defense they're in. Rob (Ryan) does a lot of different things and if you're not on your Ps and Qs you'll let somebody loose or you'll get a TFL or sack fumble. So we have to identify and then execute. It's really a two-part puzzle this week."

Lol what the hell just happened. I just went to take out the trash and the ducks have 8!
Lol what the hell just happened. I just went to take out the trash and the ducks have 8!
And they go for 2 and get it.
I'm shocked they didn't go for it on 4th and 10.
I'm even more shocked that they used a scholarship on a punter.
Apparently there are some good lookin girls at Kansas State.
Who knew?
If this is it, Kelly ends his four year HC position at Oregon 46-7 with 3 Pac-12 titles, 4 total BCS bowls and 2 BCS bowl wins.
Not bad.

At least you all are going to be honest and call him out when he leaves
All I hear is crap towards Pete Carroll after he left USC. "It was because of the sanctions!"
You better damn well be going after Chip Kelly instead of idolizing him or congratulating him for taking a higher position in the NFL
IF he can be successful it will be w/ the eagles. Fast mobile QB.... check. Speed on the outside....check. Fast shifty undersized RB.... check. Be interesting to see how the eagles handle vick and his enormous contract if they do sign Kelly. Actually it will be interesting to see how they handle Foles if they hire Chip too.
Was arguing with other people on other forums and one of them claimed he wouldn't run the speed offense he ran at Oregon
Claimed that he would adapt his offense to work in the NFL
Yet others claim that his offense will work because the NFL is a modern league and QB's like RG3 and Kaepernick are playing well
I don't think that he will change his offense to the NFL, I don't think his offense will work. I'll have to see if he adapts it to the NFL or not, but if he does what he does now at Oregon in the NFL he will get romped
He's not going to find a QB like Kaepernick or RG3 for a long time. Good luck trying that with Nick Foles.
I don't see the Iggles doing anything other than driving the price up on Kelly. I think he ends up with the Browns or back at Oregon.
Mike McCoy seems like the logical choice for the Iggles.

As for tonight's game, I expect Oklahoma to throttle A&M..but what do I know..I thought Geno Smith was the best QB coming into this year and he regressed as the season got longer.

in 2 vehicle crash
ABBEVILLE — State police say a 35-year-old man died in a two vehicle crash on La. 339 east of Abbeville.
Troopers say 35-year-old Jamie P. Landry of Abbeville was driving a car north on La. 339 when his vehicle crossed the center line and hit a tractor trailer hauling sugar cane.
Landry was pronounced dead by the Vermilion Parish Coroner.
The truck driver sustained minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital.
The crash remains under investigation.
2 women charged
with infant cruelty
EUNICE — Two women have been arrested after they allegedly left an infant in their car for 90 minutes while they gambled.
Blair Buller of Eunice and Anna Simoneaux of Rayne, both 29, were booked over the weekend with cruelty to a juvenile.
St. Landry Parish sheriff's Capt. Megan Vizena said the pair were arrested following a complaint from a concerned citizen who noticed the infant alone in a vehicle at the 24/7 Truck Stop Casino in Eunice.
Vizena said a deputy reviewed the truck stop's surveillance video, which showed the infant alone in the vehicle for approximately an hour and 30 minutes.
It was unclear whether the women have attorneys.
Natural-gas bus fleet grows in Lafayette
LAFAYETTE — The initiative to transition Lafayette's bus fleet from diesel fuel to cleaner-burning natural gas is about to get a big boost.
Lafayette has received 12 natural gas-powered buses at no cost from Gwinnett County, Ga., that phased out the units in favor of larger models.
The buses are now undergoing inspections and routine maintenance and should be newly painted and rolling by the spring, said City-Parish Transit and Parking Manager Mike Mitchell.
The buses will add to the existing fleet of five natural gas-powered buses that Lafayette bought new in 2011, and five more new natu-ral-gas buses are on order, said City-Parish Director of Traffic and Transportation Tony Tramel.
Mitchell said the full conversion of the bus fleet to natural gas is not expected until 2020, but Lafayette has taken a big jump over the past two years in switching to what's touted as a cheaper and cleaner-burning alternative to diesel fuel.
Tramel said another selling point for the effort is that the local oil and gas service industry has been a key player in the discovery and production of what has been a growing supply of natural gas in Louisiana.
"Why shouldn't we be the model for the state," he said of the switch to natural gas-powered vehicles.
The use of natural-gas buses should help cut air pollution from exhaust, but a major lure has been the reduction in fuel expenses, Mitchell said.
A regular diesel bus in Lafayette's transit service uses an average of $4,300 worth of diesel fuel a month, but the monthly fuel cost for a natural gas-powered bus ranges from $1,400 to $1,700, according to estimates from Mitchell.
"We believe we will see a huge benefit in transportation costs," Mitchell said.
City-parish government has also been converting its normal fleet of vehicles from gasoline to natural gas.
Tramel said 45 vehicles have already been converted and another 20 will be converted before the end of the year.
Terrebonne council to vote on sports complex
HOUMA — The Terrebonne Parish Council is expected to approve this week a long-awaited purchase of property off La. High-way 311 to build the so-called "Field of Dreams" sports complex.
The council meets Wednesday.
The cost of the roughly 114-acre property located on and around the existing soccer fields near the Terrebonne Lakes subdivision is about $2.1 million. The money comes from Recreation District 2-3 and the parish's general fund.
Terrebonne Parish Manager Al Levron said if the proposal is approved the parish would be in a position to close the deal before the end of the year.
The Danos and Bollinger families, who own the subdivision, each own sections of the property.
Acquiring the land is the first step in moving forward with the development of the sports complex, which has been discussed for years, Levron said. It will be designed by Joseph Furr Design Studio, a Baton Rouge firm specializing in landscape designs and sports com-plexes.
"Under this proposal, the parish would purchase the property, and we would enter a cooperative-endeavor agreement with Recreation District 2-3. And they will develop the complex over time," Levron said.
Gary Beeson, Recreation District 2-3 president, said the district budgeted about $1 million so far to start the construction of phase one, which involves building five softball fields.
Phase two of the complex involves building five baseball fields, he said. The baseball and softball fields in other locations will remain for now.
"We're hoping to break ground on this by April," Beeson said.
A contractor hasn't been selected, but a bid will go out once the property is purchased, he said.
Man struck, killed by SUV in Baton Rouge
BATON ROUGE — Baton Rouge police say a 75-year-old man was killed when he was struck by an SUV while trying to cross the street.

Police says Mark Deshotels was taken to a local hospital where he died from his injuries.
The accident remains under investigation.
2 prosecutors
retire amid probe
of online posts
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal prosecutor demoted for anonymously posting comments on a newspaper's website has retired.
A Justice Department spokesman said Monday that Jan Mann and her husband, fellow prosecutor Jim Mann, both retired from the U.S. attorney's office in New Orleans.
Jan Mann was former U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's top assistant before he demoted her last month. Letten resigned earlier this month amid a Justice Department probe of comments that she and another prosecutor, Sal Perricone, posted on nola.com, The Times-Picayune's companion website.
Perricone resigned in March after acknowledging he criticized judges and politicians and commented on cases in his posts. Mann didn't admit posting comments until after a defamation suit was filed against her by the owner of a landfill at the center of a federal probe.

The big promise of big data for marketers is to be able to use all the data we have. By looking at all the information, big data allows us to explore minute details without the risk of blurriness.
in theory, sampling (which always lost detail because it is a proxy for the full data set) and guesswork go away, we can analyse all the data for every customer and prospect, and provide that customer experience nirvana of just the right offer at just the right time.
If that feels like a big change for you, then start small. Attribution, one of the most persistent of marketing challenges, can be a great area to apply big data for immediate results, and ROI.

SearchMetrics recently released a study into the changes in Google's Universal Search results over the last year.
Universal Search is the way Google "blends" image, video, news, maps and shopping search results into the normal search results.
In this post, I'll outline the ever increasing case for optimising video.

Videos are a powerful way to showcase products on an ecommerce website, and savvy online retailers are discovering ways to get the best return on their investment in video.
For example, videos can help improve SEO campaign results, and user-generated videos can help boost conversion rates.
Almost every type of website you visit these days features video prominently, since website visitors and shoppers have a growing appetite for video.
It's more engaging for website visitors, and tells a brand or product story in a more immersive way than text and images do.

Social Media Week in New York started big with Ford's announcement this morning with a new Ford Fiesta ad campaign that will use content created only by users - in fact, it'll be their first ever user generated campaign that spans the entire advertising year.
Ford are focusing on creating a team of 100 social influencers who will create the advertising material that Ford will distribute through a mix of paid media, social media and experiential events. These will be the new Ford Fiesta Agents - I'm just glad they didn't opt for Guru or Ninja. Phew.
So the content the agents create can be in whatever form they choose to do. Ford gives them cars, a camera and in addition to this open remit of any content goes, the group will also have to complete challenges with properties such as American Idol, the X Games and music festival, Bonnaroo.

It's unlikely you've missed the recent internet meme that is the Harlem Shake, which is currently sweeping across the world.
And it was pretty inevitable that it wouldn't be too long before brands jumped onto the bandwagon - already, Pepsi and Red Bull are among the companies who have already tried to prove that they've got their fingers on the pulse.
This in itself brings about various debates around user-generated content and the associated lifetime of memes (do they stop being a natural commentary of culture once commercialised?) - but, thought-provoking issues aside, it's actually the massive uptake within the digital (and wider marketing and advertising) industry that's of interest.

SEATTLE -- The commanders at Joint Base Lewis-McChord have decided to refer the case against Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales for a general court-martial on charges that he murdered 16 civilians in a late-night shooting rampage outside a remote Army outpost in southern Afghanistan.
Army officials also announced they would seek the death penalty against Bales, a veteran of four combat deployments who is also charged with wounding six other civilians after a night of drinking on top of steroid use at what defense lawyers say was a dysfunctional special operations outpost.
The report from investigating officer Col. Lee Deneke was not made public, but attorneys said the commanding officer's referral matched Deneke's own recommendation after a weeklong preliminary hearing in November, during which a parade of witnesses testified about what happened in the early morning hours of March 11 outside Camp Belambay.
DOCUMENT: Court martial statement
Bales allegedly was seen returning to the base after the shootings with his clothing, boots and weapon covered with blood; DNA evidence provided a match between that blood and blood found at one of the shooting scenes.
Additionally, Bales' fellow soldiers testified that the 39-year-old staff sergeant as much as admitted that he had killed people that night outside of the base, though they initially didn't believe him.
"He said he'd just been to Al-Kozai, shot some people ... shot some military-age males. And I said, "No you didn't,' " Sgt. Jason McLaughlin testified, adding that Bales told him he was heading to the second village where attacks occurred, Najiban, and would be back at 5 a.m.
Defense lawyers say Bales clearly wasn't in his right mind. He had not only suffered a concussive head injury in an earlier incident, but was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from several previous emotional incidents in which he had been involved -- a colleague's legs were blown off by a homemade bomb shortly before the shootings.
In addition, they said, Bales was called to duty at the remote special operations base and found a culture of widespread alcohol use. He had, with the encouragement of special forces troops at the base, been taking steroids, which have been linked to incidents of aggression, and was also supplied with alcohol by the special forces troops.
"I think the general's decision is understandable, but totally irresponsible. I think the Army is not taking responsibility for the soldiers in general, and ... is trying to take the focus off the considerable errors they made as far as Sgt. Bales is concerned, as far as a lot of other soldiers are concerned: It's a system failure," Bales' civilian defense lawyer, John Henry Browne, told the Los Angeles Times.
"The Army is trying to deflect criticism by not taking responsibility in my view, and it's a shame," Browne said.
Bales' wife, Kari, said her wish from the start was for her husband to obtain a fair trial, and emphasized that he must be presumed innocent until all the evidence comes out."I no longer know if a fair trial for Bob is possible, but it very much is my hope, and I will have faith," she said in a statement.
"My husband is an American soldier. He is a citizen of the USA, and he is very much loved by me and by our children," she added. "I am so happy that my children and I can visit Bob every weekend and that for a few hours, I can see and feel the love that flows between my children and their father."
A legal dispute has delayed an official mental health evaluation for Bales, known as a sanity board. His civilian defense team is challenging standard military legal procedures in which Army prosecutors are given access to the psychiatrists' report, even before the defense announces any plans to assert an insanity defense.
"The military system is very unique in the way they do that. That's not the way it's done in the civilian world. It is extremely damaging to his due process rights, and it's a big problem," said Emma Scanlan, civilian co-counsel for Bales.
The defense team still has not decided whether it will attempt to have Bales found not guilty by a military jury by reason of insanity -- a verdict that is almost never returned in military cases.
Instead, they may seek to raise Bales' mental health issues as mitigation during sentencing in order to take the death penalty off the table.
But Scanlan said it may not get that far.
"The [prosecution] team has to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he acted with premeditated intent," she said. "That's a high burden, considering the situation here."
Military prosecutors do not comment on ongoing cases. Lt. Col. Gary Dangerfield, spokesman at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, said the next step is for Bales to be arraigned on the charges. No date has been set.

I'm allowing myself one technology post every few months. Please excuse the non-marketing content.
Portable electronic devices, including music players, laptops, phones and smartphones, tablets and e-books, are becoming the every day norm. Most people own at least two of these devices and are thinking of buying another within the next 6 months. Have you ever wondered why they've become so popular recently?
Back in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, all of the above mentioned devices existed. Music players were Sony Walkmans, Laptops were Toshiba T1100s, phones were Motorola DynaTAC 8000X "brickphones", and tablets were Microsoft Tablet PCs. But what was the one major annoyance that kept many of these first-of-its-kind devices from becoming mainstream? Its weight and size, and overall portability. Battery life played a role in its popularity. In the early days, the battery played a significant role in the functionality and weight of these devices. Not until battery technology advanced to a breaking point that these devices could exist.
Would you buy a mobile phone today if it only lasted 1 hour of talk time? Probably not. The manufacturers of these devices knew they had to have a certain amount of battery life, thus, the battery had to be larger. But because these devices were marketed at portable, they couldn't weigh too much to not be functional. How long can you hold a 1 pound device to you ear for?
Only until the 21st century, could devices become truely portable. Laptops now have 8 hours of battery life without weighing more than the electronics and casement. Mobile phones can easily fit in a childs pocket with 5 days of standby time. One could argue that advancements in energy saving electronics is also key and I would argue for this as well, but the advancements in battery technology has jumped leaps and bounds over the last few years.
What does the future hold? A bright one indeed. Where music devices are held within the earphones themselves. Where laptops with full keyboards can fit in your pocket (that depends on if keyboards survive the onslought of the touchscreen). Where mobile phones are flexible and moulded to fit around your wrist. Who knows!

Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
Are You There God? It's Us, Scientists (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about religious belief among scientists. The graphic uses data from the Pew Research Center, Rice University, and quotations from scientists assembled in a recent Huffington Post article.
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Letting God Out of the Box
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...
Jefferson's Bible and the Tears of Christ
Predictably, "Jesus Wept" did not make into the Jefferson Bible. John 11 was cut out entirely, falling onto the floor of his Monticello home and discarded, along with Martha's confession.
Following God's Path, Part 1
I've loved science for as long as I can remember, and from an early age I imagined my future career as a scientist. I also grew up immersed within Christian Fundamenatalism.
Series: What Scientists Do
Steve Benner, a Distinguished Fellow of The Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville, Fla., looks at what the role of a scientist should be. Benner looks specifically at "falsifiability", the acceptance of uncertainty, and the place of the scientist in public discourse.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
Series: Reviewing "Why Evolution is True"
In this three part series, Robert C. Bishop provides a helpful review for Evangelicals of the book Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne. He first debunks many outdated ideas and myths about the theory of evolution and its implications. He then goes on to critique Coyne's conclusions about God as a "bad designer." He further addresses how Christianity and science overlap as well as how to have a meaningful discussion between two individuals with radically different views.
Engaging Today's Militant Atheist Arguments
In this paper, MIT professor Ian Hutchinson addresses the question of how to engage arguments put forward by the New Atheists. In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.
Series: Hutchinson on Atheism
Ian Hutchinson draws a sharp line between science and scientism. Scientism holds that all truth emerges from scientific study and explanation. Hutchinson, however, disagrees as he points to science's inability to establish truth about, for example, the events that have occurred in humanity's history on earth. He specifically engages Richard Dawkins assertions (from the book The God Delusion) that God is a scientific hypothesis that has been essentially disproved by science and that evolution explains religion as nothing more than a natural phenomenon.
Series: Addressing Christian Concerns about the Implications of BioLogos' Science
In this series, Ard Louis addresses concerns that Christians may have about the BioLogos view that stem from specific misconceptions. Among these are misunderstandings about the nature of science, God's action in the universe, and natural theology. In addition, there is unwarranted mistrust towards the academic world. Finally, he encourages the BioLogos team to carefully confront "the ways we in the church have all been shaped by the spirit of the age" and to patiently listen and speak about these issues.
When Appearances Are Deceiving
"That just doesn't sound right." Ever since I was a kid, that was my gut reaction to those well-meaning people in my church and school who told me that despite what many in the sciences were saying, the earth and the entire universe were actually of relatively recent manufacture.
Joanna's Story
As a child, I started reading the Bible as soon as I could and I made my decision for Jesus wholeheartedly at the age of nine. Nurtured in an "all Christian environment," I knew little else. But certain questions tended to nag at me.
