By Jazelle Hunt -NNPA Washington Correspondent(NNPA) - In a speech at the 2015 National Historically Black Colleges and
Universities (HBCUs) Week Conference here last week, Vice President Joe Bidenpraised the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities and announced anadditional $10 billion in HBCU funding.
Despite enthusiastic applause and shouts of "Run, Joe, Run," Biden did not alludeto whether he has made up his mind about whether to challenge Hillary Clinton forthe Democratic nomination for president in 2016. Instead, he took the opportunityto address a sore spot between the Obama administration and the HBCU communi-ty: the America's College Promise proposal, which, if enacted, will offer two freeyears of community college for responsible students.
HBCU administrators and leaders, whose institutions are already underfunded, areconcerned they'll be unable to compete if funding is limited to community colleges.Many had suggested that two year assistance be extended to 4-year colleges as wellas 2-year community colleges.'

DALLAS COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY SUSAN HAWKPLANS TO RETURN TO WORK OCTOBER 1
(AP) - With Congress in tur-moil, House Speaker JohnBoehner suddenly informedfellow Republicans on Fridaythat he would resign at theend of October, steppingaside in the face of hardlineconservative opposition thatthreatens an institutional cri-sis.
The 13-term OhioRepublican shocked his GOPcaucus Friday morning whenhe announced his decision ina closed-door session. Itcame one day after a highpoint of Boehner's congres-sional career, a historicspeech by Pope Francis toCongress at Boehner'srequest.
"The first job of any speak-er is to protect this institutionthat we all love," Boehnersaid in a statement not longafter announcing his resigna-tion to his colleagues. "It ismy view, however, that pro-longed leadership turmoilwould do irreparable damageto the institution. To thatend, I will resign the speaker-ship and my seat in Congresson Oct. 30."
Although it's not certainwho will succeed Boehner,the most obvious candidatewould be the No. 2 HouseRepublican, Kevin McCarthy,a genial Californian who was
first elected to Congress in2006. Regardless of what hedoes, Boehner's departureensures a major leadershiprace in which tea party con-servatives would be expectedto field a candidate.
Boehner was first electedto the House in 1990 andsoon established a stronglyconservative record. He waspart of former Speaker NewtGingrich's leadership teamwhen Republicans took overthe House in 1995 for thefirst time in four decades butwas ousted from his leader-ship role in the wake of theGOP's disappointing per-formance in the 1998midterms.
He won a 2006 race to suc-ceed Tom DeLay as theHouse's No. 2 Republicanwhen DeLay stepped aside asmajority leader. He took overas the top Republican in theHouse in 2007 afterDemocrats retook the cham-ber.

REVEREND AL SHARPTON INTERVIEWS HILLARYCLINTON ON ALL NEW "POLITICSNATION"
The Dallas Post Tribune Page 2AOctober 1 - 7, 2015
Continued from Page 1A"I'll be straight with you, I know a
lot of you were a little bit upset whenwe called for two years of free com-munity college," Biden said. "Someof you are my friends, heads of uni-versities, and you called me and said,'Joe, is that going to undercut us?We're
having financial difficulties now.'The answer is it will not."
But not everyone is convinced. Ofcourse, it all might be academicbecause it appears unlikely that aRepublican-majority in the Houseand Senate is likely to fund Obama'sproposal.
Biden also highlighted the confer-ence's theme - STEM innovation,partnerships, and entrepreneurship -and thanked the HBCU administra-tors, partners, and students presentfor their strides in this area.
In January, Biden visited NorfolkState University in Virginia to unveil a$25 million grant over five years for acybersecurity consortium consistingof 13 HBCUs, two national labs, anda K-12 school district. Norfolk State,which already offers an online cyber-security master's degree program,will lead the initiative.
"It's an economic imperative…thatthe number of African Americans inSTEM increase," said Biden. "HBCUsare only 3 percent of the nation'sschools. And you produce 27 percentof African American graduates withSTEM degrees. The human capitalthat you husband is critically impor-tant to our country and how compet-
itive we'll be in another five, 10, 20years."
In this way, HBCUs have con-tributed to both building the Blackmiddle class and in turn, the nation'sglobal competitiveness. This kind ofcontribution and success shouldtranslate to personal and communalprosperity, the vice president said,but persistent socioeconomicinequality was undermining thisdynamic.
"My daughter insists that I shouldsay more, and I don't. She talksabout, 'Dad, don't pretend thatthere's not still institutional bigotry inthis country.' Health care, criminaljustice, access to jobs and goodwages - that used to be a basicrequirement," he said.
"That used to be the promise ofAmerica, that if you contributed tothe enterprise, you got to share inthe benefits. If you worked hard andplayed by the rules, you got to sharein the basic prosperity. That prosper-ity wasn't available to everyone, par-ticularly many African Americans.Now it's not available to a significantnumber of all Americans."
Most of Biden's time onstage,however, was spent praising HBCUsor invoking the Black experience. Heshared how much of the grassrootssupport and volunteer help hereceived during his Senate campaigncame from Delaware StateUniversity. He talked about returningfrom law school in Syracuse, N.Y. dur-ing the 1968 riots and seeing his stateon fire. And he lauded the audiencefor their role in uplifting Black youth.
"It's more than just academics andleaderships. What's built intoHBCUs…is this sense that you edu-cate, but you mentor the wholetime. You constantly embrace theseyoung women and men. You letthem know, you can do this, too," hestated.
In addition to Vice President Bidenand HBCU All-Star Leah Williams, aDelaware State alumna, WilliamHarvey, president of HamptonUniversity and chair of thePresident's Board of Advisors onHBCUs, addressed the crowd. Hecalled for a "5 percent funding aspira-tional goal" akin to the ones the fed-eral government uses to direct itsspending and subcontracting towomen or veteran-owned enterpris-es.
Harvey also offered condolencesto friends of the late George Cooper,who served as a professor andadministrator at several HBCUs, aswell as the executive director of theWhite House Initiative on HistoricallyBlack Colleges and Universities.
The Initiative sponsors theNational HBCU Week Conferenceeach year as a forum for HBCU stake-holders to exchange information andshare innovations.
"This conference is about STEMeducation," said Harvey. "There wasa December report which men-tioned that STEM education forHBCUs was at its lowest point sincethe year 2000. We need to broadenour participation in STEM and weneed help from the government."
Leaders Of The Week
Ms. Davis has created opportunities as a life and career coach by assisting students in looking and approach-ing school and life differently; resulting in students becoming life-long learners and change agents in their com-munities.
Ms. Davis' desire is to educate the souls-minds, wills and emotions- of youth to become balanced individu-als in competence (what they can do) and conscience (who they are). In order to live a principle-centered life,certain core values are needed: empowerment, balanced-living, interdependence, accountability, honesty,mutual respect and community focus. It is important to provide students with academic training and oppor-tunities to become vital participants in shaping their communities. Students must have the opportunity topractice the power of their training through internships, business co-ops and community volunteering.Thereby, bring a convergent continuum of young people contributing to businesses and companies support-ing young people.
Ms. Davis is committed to empowering young people to achieve superior performance with motivationalmessaging tools, inventive personal development resources, academic city tours and web-based training tocompete in a global society. In 2000, The International NET XChange Group, a consulting, mentoring and col-lege preparatory organization for youth between the ages of 11-18 was incorporated by Ms. Davis. The organ-ization addresses areas of human development to maximize personal growth and academic potential.
NET XChange Accomplishments •Coordinated the "Chicago Career Shadowing" tour with nine corporations,colleges and universities for youth between the ages of 15-18 • "Pathway to Freedom Traveling Exhibit" focus-ing on the Trail of Tears, Underground Railroad and the Civil Rights Movement ? an exhibit for youth createdby youth, parents and chaperones •Designed "Man in the Mirror" seminar for youth and parents to explorebehavioral styles in families •Coordinated "Scholastic Training Marathons" - college admission readiness prepa-ration •Established NETXC book club with youth facilitators - promoting reading, writing and vocabulary
While working to build a youth organization, I have held several successful positions in an effort to fulfill mycareer goals. My skills encompass the ability to manage projects from planning to completion, software andhardware installation, network conversion, multiple systems support (mainframes, client servers, PCs, laptopsand mobile devices). Career Accomplishments: •Texas A & M Commerce, MBA; Texas Woman's University, BS;PMP Certified •Allstate Insurance - IT Project Manager •Halliburton Company - Network Professional •TexasInstruments - IT System Administrator and Trainer
A servant leader requires a deep humility as well as a willingness to pour yourself into the good of others.You get greatness out of people by expecting it from them. In the words of Karen Pittman, "We must be ableto undergird a sustained effort to bring all young people into the civil, social and economic arenas of their com-munities as lifelong learners, workers and change agents." Ms. Davis encourages young people to become pur-pose-driven and balanced individuals in competence and conscience.
Pursuing a college education is not just a dream, but a goal to be accomplished.

MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH
What a beautiful and majes-tic psalm describing the reignof the Lord we have before us.Our Lord will indeed reign inthe future during theMillennium and it will be atime of unusual justice andpeace, for Isaiah 11:4-8 says:"But with righteousness shallHe judge the poor, andreprove with equity for themeek of the earth: and Heshall smite the earth: with therod of His mouth, and with thebreath of His lips shall He slay
the wicked. And righteousnessshall be the girdle of His loins,and faithfulness the girdle ofHis reins. The wolf also shalldwell with the lamb, and theleopard shall lie down with thekid; and the calf and the younglion and the fatling together;and a little child shall leadthem. And the cow and thebear shall feed; their youngones shall lie down together:and the lion shall eat straw likethe ox. And the sucking childshall play on the hole of theasp, and the weaned childshall put his hand on the cock-atrice' den."
The psalmist begins thismagnificent psalm by declar-ing praise to the Lord whoreigns in splendor. He sitsbetween the cherubim abovethe Ark of the Covenant in theholy of holies. He is worthy tobe praised because His ruler-ship is characterized by His
holiness (vv. 1-3). Verse 3emphatically states that "TheLORD is great in Zion; and He ishigh above all the people."Our God's nature is pure and isseparate from that which isevil. The King will manifest Hispower in executing justice andequity (v. 4), and the psalmistextends an invitation to praisethe Lord, in that verse 5 says:"Exalt ye the LORD our God,and worship at His footstool;for He is holy."
Having exhorted his audi-ence to praise the Lordbecause of His holiness, thepsalmist invites them to praisethe Lord because wonderfulmercy is extended to them (vv.6-9). Despite the nation ofIsrael's repeated acts of dis-obedience, the Lord continuedto extend His mercy untothem. The psalmists specifi-cally recalls in verse 6 - "Mosesand Aaron among His priests,
and Samuel among them thatcall upon His name; they calledupon the LORD, and Heanswered them." We need tothank the Lord for His mercifuldealings with us, even in thedispensation of grace.
In psalm 118:1-2, thepsalmist encourages us topraise the Lord for His mercyfor those verses read: "O givethanks unto the LORD; for Heis good: because His mercyendureth for ever. Let Israelnow say, that His mercyendureth for ever." Thepsalmist concludes this won-derful psalm with a continualencouragement to exalt theLord in praise "Exalt the LORDour God, and worship at Hisholy hill; for the LORD our Godis holy" (v. 9).
May God Bless!
"A PSALM DECLARING THE REIGN OF THE LORD"PSALM 99:1-9
By Colleen White
"These things I have spo-ken to you, that My joymay remain in you, andthat your joy may be full"(John 15:11). Have youever felt like your joy hasgone away? Do you feeljoyless? We all feel like thisfrom time to time, but wedon't have to.
The night before Jesuswas crucified He spokewith His disciples about Hisgreat love for them. He letHis disciples know that thelove He has for them wasas great as the love HisHeavenly Father has forHim (Jesus) (John 15:9).Afterward, Jesus let themthat He told them these
things so that "…My joymay remain in you, andthat your joy may be full"(John 15:11).
Because of the relation-ship we have with Christ,we don't have to feel joy-less. We can have com-plete joy in Him. This isChrist's promise. Withoutknowing Him (Jesus) andhaving a relationship withHim, it's difficult to havetrue joy. This is why if yourhappiness is not based inChrist, it can be fleeting. Itcan be taken away fromyou at any moment for anysituation.
Nevertheless, when youknow Christ, no matterwhat the circumstancemay be, you can still havejoy because your joy isbased on Him and not yourcircumstances. His greatlove for us should also helpus to remain joyful. Thereis no greater love than thelove Christ has for us.
Can you remain joyfulthis week? I know I can.Amen? Amen.

If there was ever a propi-tious time for AfricanAmericans and LatinoAmericans to unite to advancethe cause of freedom, justice,equality and economicempowerment, it is now.Today, more than ever, therapidly changing nationaldemographics and the poten-tial political and economicpower as a direct result ofLatino and Black unity inAmerica cannot be overstated.
We are now in the middle ofHispanic Heritage Month,September 15 to October 15,across the United States. It isimportant to note that duringthis year's observance ofHispanic heritage, Latino lead-ers are also articulating thestrategic value and need formore unity between Blacksand Latinos.
In a recent column to theNew York Amsterdam News,Bronx Borough PresidentRueben Diaz Jr. stated, "As we
face heated, dangerous rheto-ric on the issues that concernus the most, the Hispanic com-munity must not only standtogether but to also unite withour allies of different back-grounds, such as the African-American community, to fightfor the betterment of our com-munities."
I know Borough PresidentDiaz and I believe that one dayhe may become the first Latinomayor of New York City.Fighting to improve the qualityof life in our communities isexactly what our long mutualstruggles for justice andempowerment continues to beabout. The two largest peopleof color groups in America areLatinos and Blacks. And ifBlacks and Latinos unite inNew York and elsewhere, itwill achieve more effectivepolitical and economic results.
President Barack H. Obamaissued a proclamation in honorof Hispanic Heritage Monthstating, "America's Hispaniccommunity has woven uniquethreads into the diverse fabricof our country and played animportant role in shaping ournational character as a peopleof limitless possibility."
We are witnessing a politicalchallenge to the nation's diver-sity with the exponentialincrease in residents of peopleof color in every region of thecountry. Some studies showthat the racial-disparity dividein America is becoming moreand more pronounced in hous-
ing, education, business, immi-gration, and mass incarcera-tion.
Going forward will require aserious effort to ensure a mas-sive voter turnout of Latinosand Blacks in the 2016 elec-tions. Neither the Black norLatino vote can be taken forgranted. The political future ofthe U.S. will swing in the bal-ance and scale of how Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) effortswill be financed, advertised,staffed and mobilized.
Neither elected officials norCorporate America can effec-tively reach the Black andBrown communities by ignor-ing their media outlets. And apromising sign of increasedunity between the two power-house groups is that theNational Association ofHispanic Publishers (NAHP)and the National NewspaperPublishers Association (NNPA)have announced the establish-ment of a NNPA-NAHPNational Advertising TaskForce. The purpose of thecoalition is to educate mar-keters on the benefits andimportance of the AfricanAmerican and Hispanic news-paper markets.
"With close to 97 millionAfrican Americans andHispanics in the U.S. today,representing 33 percent of thetotal population, this con-sumer segment demandsattention," said MarthaMontoya, VP of the NAHP."The buying power of the
African American and Hispaniccommunities, currently at over$2.3 trillion combined, contin-ues to outpace the nationalaverage."
NNPA Chair Denise RolarkBarnes emphasized, "This taskforce also marks a historicpartnership between theNNPA and NAHP, the nation'smost influential publishingorganizations that are current-ly led by women. Martha and Ihave a shared vision and com-mitment to empower ourcommunities by strengtheningthe voices of the media weserve."
The potential force ofAfrican Americans and Latinosworking together in business,politics, education, housing,family and community devel-opment are enormous. Thechallenge will be to achieveand maintain this unity notjust for one year or two, butfor a lifetime of solidarity andaction to represent and defendthe interests of our communi-ties respectively.

Black and Latinos Working Together
By Marc H. MorialNNPA Columnist
"I was hungry and you gaveme something to eat, I wasthirsty and you gave me some-thing to drink, I was a strangerand you invited me in, I need-ed clothes and you clothedme, I was sick and you lookedafter me, I was in prison andyou came to visit me…I tell youthe truth, whatever you did forone of the least of these broth-ers of mine, you did for me." -Matthew 25:35-36,40
Like power, with compassioncomes great responsibility. Somuch more than a feeling, theperson with compassion iscompelled to transform theircompassion into intent, andmost importantly, action. Tobe compassionate is to see, tofeel and to do something.
The recent arrival of PopeFrancis on our shores hasrekindled our national conver-sation over how we will pro-tect and care for our marginal-ized, provide access to our dis-enfranchised communities andpromote justice for all.
Francis, the spiritual leaderof more than a billionCatholics, the world over, hasplaced the poor and the treat-
ment of the poor at the centerof his papacy. But, his messageof mercy, compassion andservice as the engines ofmuch-needed change is notsolely limited to the Catholicfaithful. It is a message thatcan transcend boundaries offaith, gender, political culturesor borders. It is a message thatcan transform the entire worldfor the benefit of the commongood.
While calls for societalchange precede the pope, hispapacy and his status as arespected global leader, givesadded voice to the voicelessand the oppressed, andencourages the men andwomen who have decidedthey would no longer observe(or suffer) injustice from thesidelines - instead they wouldadvocate, and when neces-sary, agitate for a more justsociety for the excluded andmarginalized among us.
From Moses to the man reg-istering students to vote, orthe woman fighting for envi-ronmental justice in an impov-erished community today, foras long as inequality hasplagued society, people havealways appeared in the pagesof history to carry the heavyand unavoidable banner ofchange. For Francis, this call toaction is motivated by God'spresence, which he said in hisfinal homily in Cuba, "neverleaves us tranquil: it alwayspushes to do something.When God comes, He alwayscalls us out of our house. Weare visited so that we can visitothers; we are encountered soas to encounter others; wereceive love in order to give
love."For more than 100 years, the
National Urban League hasdedicated itself to loving, visit-ing and encountering peopleand communities in theirtimes of need. Our mission-likethe mission of so many peopleof faith dedicated to changinglives and reforming the struc-tures that compromise thequality of life of the most vul-nerable - is to establish mech-anisms and policies aimed ateconomic empowerment inorder to elevate the standardof living in historically under-served urban communities.This cross-section of compas-sion and social justice hasbeen, and continues to be, adefining element of our exis-tence and struggle across arange of social justice move-ments.
The pope is visiting theUnited States at a pivotal timein our history, when justiceand equality is facing chal-lenges on many fronts. Weface challenges in the constitu-tional right of citizens to vote;we are experiencing a rash ofdeaths of Black men at thehands of police officers whoare rarely held accountable;equity in funding andresources for public schooleducation remains a distantreality; and the economic gapthat exist between the richand the poor only continues towiden.
The National Urban Leaguecontinues to tackle these ever-present issues with programsand policy recommendationsthat not only benefit commu-nities of color, but our nationas a whole. Our education pro-
grams, like Project Ready, sup-port academic achievement,civic involvement and thephysical and emotional devel-opment of our young people.But it doesn't end there, wealso challenge our states andfederal government to developformulas to distributeresources to schools in a fairmanner that does not discrim-inate based on what communi-ty you live in. Our workforcedevelopment programs deliverjobs and valuable employmentservices to the people whoneed it the most and encour-age economic self-sufficiency.We have, and continue to fighton the frontline of the battlesto rid our nation of pervasivecriminal justice abuses.
The gospel of compassionhas guided many into servicebeyond their own lives andself-interests. The gospel ofcompassion: to see, to feel andto do something, is a driver ofchange that pays no regard todifferences in gender, color,community or faith. It is a callto minister and serve thosewho find themselves on themargins of any given society.We may all come from differ-ent traditions and cultures, butwe should all be able to agreeon our broader duty to provideaccess to a decent standard ofliving, protect the poor andpromote justice. It is the mes-sage of the Francis and hisChurch, and I hope that it is amessage that will continue toreach many more ears - andhearts.

By Congresswoman EddieBernice Johnson
As a nation, one of ourgreatest strengths is ourdiversity. We have among ourpopulation almost every eth-nic heritage found on the faceof the earth. This one factalone makes us exceptional.You will not find the Americanmosaic, with its rich diversity,in any other country in theentire world.
Each year, we celebrateNational Hispanic HeritageMonth between September15th and October 15th. Indoing so, we place an empha-sis on the contributions madeby Hispanic-Americans. Thereare 55 million Hispanics in thiscountry and they make up 17percent of our population.They are the fastest growingminority group in America.
We began celebratingHispanic Americans in 1968,when President LyndonBaines Johnson startedHispanic Heritage Week.Twenty years later, PresidentRonald Reagan expanded theobservance by adding anadditional three weeks.
Hispanic-Americans haveenriched the soul of America.They have made significant
contributions to our nationalcharacter by improving ourbusiness communities, everylevel of government, our mili-tary, our justice system, ouruniversities and colleges, ourhealthcare system, our enter-tainment industry, our reli-gious institutions, our agricul-tural system, and so muchmore.
During National HispanicHeritage Month and through-out the year, I urge each ofyou to explore the history ofyour Hispanic-Americanneighbors, colleagues, andfriends. In doing so, you willbetter appreciate theircourage, sacrifice, and tenaci-ty. Our country is a betterplace because of their pres-ence, their industriousness,and their ingenuity.
In my life as an elected offi-cial, I have worked closelywith countless Hispanic-Americans, including Trinidad"Trini" Garza who workedtirelessly to transform theeducational system in Dallas;Francisco "Pancho" Medrano,Sr., was a giant during the1960's Civil Rights Movement.He was a prudent politicaladvisor and supporter when Ifirst won a seat in the TexasLegislature. At his insistence, Ialso ran for a senior post inthe Texas State Conventionshortly after being elected tomy seat in the Texas House ofRepresentatives.
During the Convention, Iwas nominated in English andin Spanish by Mr. Medranoand his allies. I won the seatto the surprise of nearlyeveryone in the Convention.Icons like Pancho Medranotransformed the landscape ofTexas and national politics.
We owe a huge debt of grati-tude for the sacrifice of theseand many others who livedtheir lives committed toimproving our society for allpeople.
When I proposed legislationin the Texas House to providefree meals to children fromlow-income families, my prin-ciple ally in the effort wasRepresentative Carlos Truanwho represented a district inCorpus Christi. Together, weworked on legislation thatresulted in the state providingfree breakfast to low-incomestudents in public schoolsacross Texas.
Throughout my tenure inthe U.S. House ofRepresentatives, I've workedwith Hispanic-Americans whoare dedicated to providingexemplary public service toDistrict 30 constituents. MyDistrict Director, EsperanzaWorley, has served in myCongressional Office for 23years and has been a zealousadvocate for and provider ofconstituent services.
As a member of Congress, Ihave had similar experienceswhile working with membersof the Congressional HispanicCaucus on policies that assistlow-income families, workingindividuals, the elderly anddisabled members of our pop-ulation.
During this month, weshould all salute the bountifulcontributions that Hispanic-Americans have made andcontinue to make to ournation. They are an essentialpart of what makes our coun-try great, and I am alwayshonored to recognize theirimpactful legacy.

(AP) - Brandon Weeden hascompleted 10 passes to widereceivers in two starts for theDallas Cowboys.
Even when he had All-ProDez Bryant last year againstArizona, he had trouble get-ting him the ball, with 10 tar-gets and just two completionsin a loss.
After Weeden couldn'tanswer an Atlanta rally withany success down the field ina 39-28 loss Sunday, the natu-ral question was whether theCowboys trusted their backupenough with Tony Romo side-lined at least six more gameswith a broken left collarbone.
"Yes I do," owner and gen-eral manager Jerry Jones saidafter the end of a six-gamewinning streak in the regularseason for the defending NFCEast champion. "In general, I
bet when we look at it, hestayed within himself. He'sprobably capable of getting itdownfield, too, if they ask himto. I'm not worried. We justhave a lot of work to do to stayin the hunt."
After a fast start fueled bythe running game, Weeden'sfirst bad decision was an inter-ception that turned the gamein the Falcons' favor in the sec-ond quarter, before the Dallasdefense quit making stops.
Dallas (2-1) goes to winlessNew Orleans this weekendbefore a visit from Tom Bradyand New England. ThePatriots went 11-5 in 2008with Cassel filling in afterBrady injured a knee in theopener, although they missedthe playoffs.
Weeden and coach JasonGarrett said Atlanta's cover-
age schemes dictated theunderneath throws. ColeBeasley was the only receiverto catch a pass - he had fourfor 49 yards - and TerranceWilliams was targeted twicewithout a reception. Thosewere the only six throws toreceivers.
Cassel came in a trade withBuffalo early last week andwas inactive against theFalcons. Kellen Moore, whohasn't played in a regular-sea-son game, was the backup.Garrett wouldn't say whetherCassel will be ready this week.
"He can speak the lan-guage," Garrett said. "I thinkhe's getting more and morecomfortable saying it. He's runa lot of these plays. He knowsthese concepts. As much asanything else, it's learning theterminology and learning thenuances of the system."
Besides the interception,the other throw Weedenwanted back was a high tossto an open Witten after theFalcons had cut the last ofthree 14-point deficits to 28-25 in the third quarter. TheCowboys punted one playlater and didn't get anotherfirst down until Atlanta was up11 late in the fourth quarter.
"I really like what I saw outthere today as far as how hehandled himself," Jones said."He wasn't throwing the ballbut 15-20 yards, but I thoughthe made some really gooddecisions. I think we've gotsomething to work withhere."
