Paul Ryan and Catholic Social Teaching: A Commentary by Fr. Barron
Good point, Father. But why aren't the bishops calling for Catholics to support Catholic hospitals and provide medical care to the poor and feed the hungry... Etc? If we want subsidiarity to work, and we want the government to stop telling us how to run our hospitals and ministries, then we should stop taking tax dollars and start living our faith. Wealthy Catholics can't just vote Republican and hope for abortion to go away... The must put their money to work for others, for Christ. And we need our Bishops to be vocal in their leadership.

It is reasonable to oppose Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps, etc. because they are used by those who embrace socialistic government control of the economy.
Social Security (retirement) has been a systematic looting of alleged "retirement benefits" by the federal government. There is no respect for private property and the level at which the secular leaning government that is involved is too high, and prone to corruption. Retention by the individual of ownership of the funds, if we are to require a set aside of funds would be allowing the individual retain his money for himself and his family for their benefit and for their use in the society, including supporting and helping the poor.
Other programs, such as unemployment, food stamps, disability, etc. as currently used are designed not to help the recipients, but to enslave in a cynic manner for retention of power. In addition, as we see in the current administration, whether it be the "freedom to worship," denial of Catholic agencies to provide adoption services (to this children not murdered by abortion), denial of Catholic agencies to assist victims of the international slave trade because they won't provide or promote intrinsic evils and the HHS mandates, the exercise of the state of solidarity by the provision of unemployment, food stamps, disability, etc. is designed, implicitly, to marginalize the role of Faith in the society. The Church, and other believers, need to say that the so-called "welfare" state has failed and that even if the faith-communities provisions of unemployment, food stamps, disability, etc. is lacking, it is much better in the long run for both the physical and spiritual needs of those members of the Body of Christ that are in need. Unfortunately this is an all or nothing proposition because the once the politicians get a nose under the tent, they are an 800 lb. bully. In the area of solidarity services, you cannot be a little pregnant with State. (Additionally, it is likely that the absence of the Leviathan, would allow for greater marketplace rewards that could be used to either employ others or help the truly needy.)
The absence of government in the provision of these services, in this digital age, would be a blessing because it would require those members of the Church, who support the coercive solidarity of the state to stand and be counted and support the Church (and its schools, hospitals, nursing homes etc.) and not the State. Supporting the Church (and its schools, hospitals, nursing homes etc.) is not a matter of charitable deductions; it is a central obligation of the Faithful to support the mission of the Church (and its schools, hospitals, nursing homes etc.) and not for the benefit of a tax return.
Given the history of failures of the socialist-based policies of the so-called Progressives through the New Deal, the Great Society to the present, I think the most cogent moral position is that for a country the size and complexity of ours that the coercive solidarity of the state has been a failure and should be rejected and abandoned.
A closing note, by way of a simple and simplistic example of the failure of the coercive solidarity of the state; the "Head Start" program has since its inception cost the taxpayers of the USA approximately $160 billion dollars (or 1% of the current national debt) and it has never demonstrated any measurable long-term beneficial effect on the society or to those to which is was directed, yet the socialist left refuses to accept this and demands more money to "make it work." The principal here is power and its retention, and not the provision of any benefit to which is was directed and that is why this, and so much else of the coercive solidarity is in conflict with the Church's teaching of subsidiarity.
N.B. The portion of the national debt relating Head Start is for one failed program, imagine if all of the failed programs were eliminated and what the national debt would be? What amount of private capital and income could in the society and from which faithful Catholics could, in the true and faithful spirit of solidarity and subsidiarity could be directed, effectively by Church (and its schools, hospitals, nursing homes etc.) to those needy and less fortunate in our society.
Pray for me as I pray for you.

I felt confused after I watched this video. Yes, Catholic Social Teaching values subsidiarity and solidarity. However, since Paul Ryan's budget favors only the most wealthy individuals and corporate entities, shouldn't his budget fail the Social Justice test? I was not sure that I heard that judgment in the video.I'm sorry if I misunderstood. I stand with Bishop Blaire, Bishop Pates and NETWORK in the opinion that Ryan's cuts in services to poor and vulnerable people is immoral.

I think you captured the essence of the situation. The only point of exception that I think takes away from the presentation is the advocacy for programs like food stamps, social security, etc ... There is legitimate debate as to whether or not these are good programs. Not just in their practice, which is mired in corruption on all levels, but even in principal. If you left out the comments on these programs, or perhaps gave an appropriate qualifier when describing them, then I think this piece would have been just about perfect.
Just my 2 cents. Take it for what it's worth.

I think talk of a 'balance' between subsidiarity and solidarity leads to a mistaken view in which subsidiarity is equated with the free market and solidarity with government programs. As bad, the free market is associated with greed while government programs are not associated with their dangers of corruption, bureaucratization, and creation of dependency. This is one-sided and not even a balance.
But the larger problem, as I see it, is that solidarity is expressed through subsidiarity, not counterposed to it or balanced by it. We express our love of neighbor, responsibility for each other and the virtue of social justice through the associations we build voluntarily in civil society to achieve the common good. Governments cannot love and government programs often substitute for and undermine solidarity as well as subsidiarity.
The aim of government in this respect, should be, as the Center for Social Justice (UK) put it, should be to get out of the way of the armies of compassion, not to take them over, bureaucratize, or substitute for them.

Excellent take on these two principles. I only note that given the life span of most middle (and lower) class people today-without social security, Medicare our elderly would return to a position of poverty and ill health which has largely been reversed. Many have worked all their lives, paid into the system and deserve to live out their lives in safety. If we are to fight assisted suicide ballots (as we will vote on in my state this fall) then we should not add to people's later years unecessary fear or a life that is not in accordance with human dignity or being made in tbe image and likeness of God. IF those of us who have been blessed wtih economic comfort cannot help others what are we doing?

Patricia Wilson, it's no surprise that you feel confused--many have attempted to confuse us all!
We should both be thankful that both Fr. Barron and Bishop Robert C. Morlino (Bishop of Rep. Ryan's own diocese) have taken the time to lift this confusion. (See Bishop Morlino's own letter here: http://www.madisoncatholicherald.org/bishopscolumns/3366-bishop-column.html) To paraphrase Bishop Morlino, where in the sphere of public policy an intrinsic evil is not present (such as in abortion and threats to human life), the principals of subsidiarity and solidarity should abide to dictate an appropriate solution. More importantly, in such cases, neither Catholic theology nor Catholic social teaching will typically favor one policy over another. So, the Catholic Church does NOT dictate the appropriate manner in which we are to grow our economy and create jobs for all. (Wouldn't it be silly if the Church did so?) Stated differently, where reasonable and appropriately formed minds can differ on the question of how to grow the economy and create means for people to feed themselves, the Church does not get in the way and dictate economic policy. Such is clearly the case now.
Those who preach otherwise are misleading and confusing the faithful. Sadly, they often do so by encouraging Catholics to embrace politicians who advance positions that ARE intrinsically evil.
Hope this helps!

I enjoy your videos as they are well thought out and deep. Like a few of the readers above have noted, it is not necessarily clear that government programs such as food stamps, social security, and the like are good things as they are.
When discussing the morality of certain actions, it is important to understand that the ends do not justify the means. I doubt you will find many folk who profess to be men or women of God who would say that feeding the hungry or helping those in need, especially the elderly, are not good things. It really gets tricky when it is the government who does these things. Sure they are good things, but by what means are these things accomplished?
What needs to be understood is the very nature of government. How does the government act? By what method does it derive its authority, and is that method justified absolutely? It is impossible to make absolute judgments as to whether or not the government should partake in certain actions if these questions are not resolved.

I forgot to add that God created each of us as an individual, and therefore the morality of an action is embedded in the individual. There is no such thing as a collective morality as I can't see God granting salvation to Americans or Brits, or Iraqis simply because of the moral state of the society. Collective morality is nothing more than the sum of individual good will. This is not to say that individuals cannot or should not work together, but that the togetherness speaks not for the group but for the individual.
An individual can, and should, work toward the common good, but a society cannot because a society cannot act, only individuals can. If we try to define society in such a way that it can act then we are injuring the Body of Christ as we may be forcing the hand to do the foot's work, or forcing the eye to hear.

I'm sorry, but the evidence I have seen does not indicate that there are hordes of people waiting in line to help the poor but the big bad government is getting in their way. History shows that where government, with all its abuses, does not act to provide a safety net for the marginalized they are not supported by the great mass of individuals who say government is doing their job poorly and that they would do it better.
Paul Ryan's budget is a travesty of Catholic Social Teaching.

My confusion stemmed from the video itself. I found it impossible to believe that Father Barron would append a Catholic Social Justice stamp of approval on Paul Ryan. The United States Bishops have sent several letters to Paul Ryan stating that the only moral measure of a budget is how it affects poor and vulnerable people. As Bishop Blaire wrote, Paul Ryan's budget failed to meet this moral standard.

Patricia: Respectfully, I think you're mistaken if you think that Fr. Barron has put a "Catholic Social Justice stamp of approval" on Paul Ryan. At the risk of being presumptuous, I think both he and Bishop Morlino correctly understand that it is not their place to do so in matters where there is "no intrinsic evil" (to borrow Bishop Morlino's phrase) in his policies. If only other members of the clergy were as wise, there would be less confusion. Indeed, by putting a "stamp of DISapproval" on the Congressman, other members of the clergy risk strengthening Mr. Ryan's opponent, who has adopted a position on human life that is inherently evil.
We should be grateful for the guidance of Fr. Barron and Bishop Morlino.

@Patricia Wilson, yes, but the question is how a budget actually affects the poor and vulnerable. That is not a matter of good intentions, but a prudential and empirical question, not one in which bishops and clergy have any particular expertise. We know that massive increases in programs intended to help those groups (except the most vulnerable, the fetal babies, of course) often produced the opposite of the intended effects, creating not safety nets but multigenerational poverty traps and bloated bureaucracies.
@Concerned, we know from both international comparisons (Europe vs. U.S) and group comparisons within the U.S. that government spending drives out private giving, that the most secular and liberal individuals are also the stingiest in terms of giving their own time, treasure, and talent while religious conservatives are the most generous in giving to secular as well as religious charities - and their giving is not imposing insupportable and unprecedented debt on our children and children's children. Both public and private giving may do more harm than good where it treats people as passive recipients rather than creative, contributing citizens.
And if the HHS mandate is not reversed, we may see countless charities, schools, and hospitals as well as small enterprises, driven out of business by government fines or taxes.
And despite Obama's Mediscare tactics, both his and the Ryan budget involved large cuts in Medicare, but Ryan sought to undress underlying problems of program structure and sustainability. Neither seeks to abolish the program.

"Would anyone really, commonsensically today be opposed to Social Security, Food Stamps, etc." - yes Father. Not because of their intent but because their effect is severely sub-optimal. Let's do these things with a greater subsidiarity. Why must they be top-down, one size fits all programs? Let's keep the motivation of solidarity but solve the problems with more subsidiarity. I think that's Paul Ryan's point and I, humbly, agree with him. Thank you so much for this forum for us to hear your wisdom and discuss these important issues as Catholics.

Hi Father,
This is such an important topic right now and my reaction is exactly expressed by Patricia Wilson's post: "I felt confused after I watched this video. Yes, Catholic Social Teaching values subsidiarity and solidarity. However, since Paul Ryan's budget favors only the most wealthy individuals and corporate entities, shouldn't his budget fail the Social Justice test?"
It may not have been your intention, but somehow this video leaves one with the general impression that you support Paul Ryan. Since you have such credibility, my worry is that this could potentially sway voters who don't examine Ryan's position carefully.
That said, I so appreciate and pray for you and your work. God bless you.

The 20th century saw a paradigm shift of 'solidarity' to the government from God for our community. Marvin Olasky documents this shift in his book "The Tragedy of American Compassion."
Up until the 20th century, it was unheard of for the government to be in the social services business. Early in the 20th century, progressive thinkers believed the government could do as well, and on a grand scale, as all the small private organizations providing social services.
Olasky documents that prior to the government's intervention, private charitable services distinguished between paupers, those that need a push, and the poor, those who are mentally ill, abandoned women and children.
Government welfare places no emphasis on individual or moral development. In fact moral requirements for welfare recipients were dropped in the 1960's. As a result charity has become an entitlement, a human right.
Olasky's final observations, "Cultures build systems of charily in the image of the god they worship, whether distant deity, bumbling bon vivant, or 'whatever goes' gopher."

This is all wonderful! But our National Debt has screamed beyond 16 TRILLION DOLLARS and climbing.
Where's plan B? Some will want to fill that with the deductions for Chruch contributions. Having the Church pay property tax like everyone else should help as well.
How many parishes will be left then?

I do not know first hand what is going on in America but I suspect that the post from "concerned" will be right. I am from the UK and in my lifetime I have experienced the imposition of American ideology upon my people. We have endless fine words, like freedom, human rights and equality, however, reality in no-way corresponds to their over-blown aspirations. I suspect "subsidiarity" will be as empty in its practice as all of these. We used to have a "nation" a real community, we now have a collection of mostly selfish individuals who spout empty platitudes that have no relation what-so-ever to the life experiences of most of us. I love the church, I believe Fr Barron is a genuine Christian who has a deep insight into the ways of my Lord, but I want no more American social teaching!

Archbishop Chaput was quoted just a few days ago in the National Catholic Reporter:
"Jesus tells us very clearly that if we don't help the poor, we're going to go to hell. Period. There's just no doubt about it. That has to be a foundational concern of Catholics and of all Christians. But Jesus didn't say the government has to take care of them, or that we have to pay taxes to take care of them. Those are prudential judgments. Anybody who would condemn someone because of their position on taxes is making a leap that I can't make as a Catholic. ... You can't say that somebody's not Christian because they want to limit taxation. Again, I'm speaking only for myself, but I think that's a legitimate position. It may not be the correct one, but it's certainly a legitimate Catholic position; and to say that it's somehow intrinsically evil like abortion doesn't make any sense at all."
Hope this helps!

Here in NJ, I can't help but notice how the principle of subsidiarity has generally broken down.
Interestingly, it seems that the more local the governing body, the more corrupt and less accountable it is. As one example, it is generally impossible to get a teaching job in NJ without a really good connection in local government; whereas it seems that the federal/state employees are hired at least partly on merit.
I have no doubt that subsidiarity is a sound principle in theory. I'm just observing that given the particular way government has evolved in the United States pos New Deal, it appears that Federal and State politics receive most of the healthy attention and scrutiny, thereby leaving local government to operate largely in the shadows unchecked by local citizenry who lack the time and energy to follow politics down to the local level.

It's been almost two weeks since hurricane Sandy. I don't think many can comprehend the size of the effected areas. So far almost NO government help. Thank God for the local parish as well as other Churches in the area as well as just plain folks donating MORE than certain areas need!So many lost ALL. So many still with no power,no heat, no sewers, no water. Homes and businesses are opening simply to serve the victims. And thank God for our Police as well as all emergency responders.

I think there is a temporal difference between getting temporary assistance from a local level ( church, community center, etc, ) and getting long term assistance from the US Government, which can breed dependency and entitlement. I choose to donate money to help local (Subsidiary) victims via Catholic Social Services, but I'm forced, via taxes, to pay for long term (solidarity) that I think can be mis-used by fraud and entitlement. I also agree with the comments that these entitlements are used to buy votes from people who don't pay the taxes that I do.

Kelly John Rose is a multidisciplinary consultant and academic. His main interests lie in combinatorial mathematics, computer science, bioinformatics, encryption, security, and advanced web development. He graduated from the University of Waterloo in 2005 with an Honours Bachelor of Mathematics and and just recently completed his Masters of Science in mathematical biology at the University of Calgary. While at Calgary, he has was privileged to work under the supervision of Stuart Kauffman, a pioneer in the field of complexity theory whose books include At Home in the Universe, Investigations, and the recently-published Reinventing the Sacred in which Kelly received acknowledgment.
Kelly has worked in a variety of occupations, from performing business analysis for Canadian National Railways to developing payload software for the Canadian Space Agency. His research experience includes developing a quantum pulse assembler for a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance machine to allow for quantum computation research and studying mathematical structures representing dynamics of genetic regulatory networks.
Kelly is currently based in Toronto and is a senior partner of an educational web software firm. In his free time he plays the guitar and trombone, maintains several websites, and reads voraciously. His non-academic interests include economics, politics, architecture, and science fiction. He is a Cancer, was born in the Year of the Dog, and enjoys walking down to the beach whenever it is warm and sunny outside.
He is currently at work on a book about social behaviour tentatively called "Rotten Apples: This is why we can't have nice things." He is one of the webmasters at Progressive Bloggers
What made you decide to start blogging?
That was a long time ago. Basically, I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to learn and develop my php, HTML and CSS skills. After time though, it just turned into a tool for me to vent and discuss the various things that interest me from day to day. This is also how things like the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy aggregator was programmed and such. I find an excuse to hack something together, and then I follow through on it.
In the last little while most of my blogging has been in the hope of encouraging what I consider to be positive change in my community and country. Every little bit helps, you know?
What is your best blogging experience?
Anytime one of my posts gets a good solid comment thread going between readers. It's nice to see people actually inspired to act, even if it's just through commenting, by anything I've written.
And your worst?
The hate mail I receive from time-to-time from diehard Conservatives and blue Liberals. It's positive that I'm agitating them a bit, but it's disheartening that they resort to such tactics. At the same time, it's kinda exciting that I can energize someone enough to do that.
What do you regard as your best blog entry?
Of late, I really like my Iggy: Authoritarian Prig entry: http://www.1337hax0r.com/2009/02/03/iggy-authoritarian-prig/ If only for it's pure snarkiness.
However there is a variety of earlier entries I've done on drug policy and minimum age restrictions on drinking that I also am quite fond of.
Favourite blogs?
DailyKos, Galloping Beaver, James Curran's blog (What do I know grit), no right turn (A New Zealand Blog), POGGE, Devin Johnston's blog.
Given the recent elections and the success in the US of Barack Obama. How do you rate the long term survival chances of Stephen Harper's government?
I don't think the elections of Obama has had any significant effect on Harper. However, with the economic downturn, his chances have faded a bit. The blue Liberals will attest that this is all Iggy's doing, but it's fairly clear from the polls that Harper shrunk in March just after the announcements on jobs and such.
We don't have a Canadian equivalent to Obama yet, and so even if there is a real desire for a change-bringing politician, there is not a Canadian leader who actually represents that change.
How would you define the Canadian blogosphere?
Largely sparse and apolitical. There doesn't seem to be that critical mass among the political groups needed to generate real netroots movements yet. There is, however, lots of astroturfing going on by the various parties.
Whether this is good or bad is still up for debate.
What has Canada's response been as a whole to the G20 Summit?
I don't know, what do the polls say?
Is there anywhere abroad which you haven't been to, that you would like to visit?
Paris, preferably on a sunny day, sitting on a terrace with some good wine and nice company.
Is there anywhere abroad you have visited, that you would love to revisit?
San Francisco, even in the winter that was a warm and inviting city. The Tunnel Top bar was a particularly awesome place to hang out.
Do you have a favourite political figure in history?
John F. Kennedy, the first Catholic president of the United States. The first of two Catholics who have ever served in the White House (Joe Biden is the second.)
Which figure has been your greatest inspiration?
Real: Currently it's Markos Moulitas. His pragmatic nature, but relentless progressivism has really changed the dialogue down in the US. His book "Taking on the System" is a really nice update of Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" for pragmatic progressives.
Favourite Bond movie?
Haven't watched them in years, Goldeneye was pretty fun.
Favourite Doctor Who?
Never seen any of it enough to have an answer.
Chocolate, vanilla, or mint?
Vanilla ice cream with chocolate mint shavings.
Which Band, past or present, would you most like to see in concert?
VNV Nation.
In terms of visiting for the weekend, Vancouver, Ottowa, or Montreal?
Montreal, totally, followed closely by Ottawa.
Favourite national newspaper?
I don't like any of the current ones, too much bias against progressivism and change. However, if push comes to shove, the Toronto Star is okay, but even it has some very clear bias.
What would you say your hobbies were?
Hacking stuff together, reading, researching mathematics and ecology, my various sites that I have.
And what would you say were your three favourite songs and three favourite books (Bar the Bible and The Complete Works of Shakespeare)?
Not in any particular order.
1. God Said No by: Dan Bern
2. Beloved by: VNV Nation
3. We shall be free by: Garth Brooks
1. Status Anxiety by: Alain de Botton
2. The Illuminatus Trilogy by: Robert Anton Wilson
3. The Return of the Political by: Chantal Mouffe
4. Taking on the System by: Markos Moulitsas

The story of Ireland has been wrapped in mythology and legend; it is the history of courage, betrayal, and struggle. Since its very origins, the island has become the home for a successive series of invaders--the Celts, Christians, Vikings, and Normans. And despite deprivation, desperation, and suppression, Ireland has developed an unwavering sense of purpose and place, and has inspired some of the finest literature in any era from the intricateBook of Kellsto Joyce'sUlysses. This book celebrates Ireland's beauty and resiliency.
Author Biography
Richard Killeen is a historian and the editorial director of an Irish publishing company. He has written a number of books on Ireland's past including A Short History of the 1916 Rising and The Concise History of Modern Ireland.

Scheme to map Richard III's DNA
11:22am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News
Richard III is to make history by becoming not only the last English king to die in battle, but also the first to have his genetic code sequenced.
Scientists want to map the king's DNA before his remains and any samples taken from them are reinterred. York and Leicester are embroiled in dispute over where his remains should be buried.
The experts hope the work will reveal information about the dead monarch's hair and eye colour, shed light on his ancestry and links to people living today, and provide more details about his susceptibility to disease.
They have already learned that besides being a hunchback, the king was badly infected with roundworm, a once common parasite in the UK.
A battle-scarred skeleton with a twisted spine unearthed by archaeologists from a Leicester car park was identified as that of Richard III last year.

Did Republicans make gains in 2010? Yes, picking up the 3rd Congressional District and some gains in the Washington state Legislature.
But former KVI talk radio host Kirby Wilbur made the case to his fellow Republicans that they should have done better by taking the U.S. Senate race or the 2nd Congressional District or taken control in Olympia.
In the end, Republicans ousted party chair Luke Esser in favor of Wilbur.
So, with 2012 just around the corner, what is Wilbur's strategy? Watch the video above for a preview of what Wilbur had to say.

...a superb saxophonist...a very accomplished composer. Paul Evoskevich - Saxophone Journal
Pietro has great chops and a profound imagination, and possesses a warm, accessible, lyrical sound... Lee Lowenfish - New York Jazz Newsletter
Though gifted with virtuosic technique, Pietro makes his point with a lyrical sensibility grounded in the soul of evocatively crafted charts. Pietro voices clearly delineated lines with one of the most appealing alto sounds in jazz. Eschewing theatrics, he swings with a postbop abandon in which every note, every phrase, every solo rings true. Chuck Berg - Jazz Times Magazine
Pietro writes tunes that are both colorful and complex, yet provide plenty of room for creative improvisation. He places his full sounding alto sax right in the middle of the proceedings, creating solos that are rooted in the jazz tradition, but are remarkably cliche free. Alan Chase - Spotlight (Portsmouth Herald)
"As a soloist, Pietro demonstrates power, energy, intelligence and humor. As a composer and band leader, he shows a love for music that swings, but maintains harmonic and melodic complexity." Frank Alkyer - Downbeat Magazine
"Pietro is a smooth operator whether performing on soprano, alto or C-melody saxophones...he shows effortless command of his alto and it is apparent that Pietro possesses a fine compositional pen besides his laudable prowess as a skilled and quite seasoned technician. No doubt about it, Pietro is a fine soloist who owns a distinctive sound and style." Glenn Astarita - AllAboutJazz.com
...a radiant soloist. His improvisations take on color and emotional heat as he swings with fury. Dr. Herb Wong - Jazz Educators Journal
The most noteworthy characteristics of Pietro's playing are the pure tone and smooth phrasing, as well as the attention to melody that pervades his solos and his pleasing, gently swinging compositions. Jon Andrews - Downbeat Magazine
He has his own distinctive sound and approach. It's apparent that Pietro has the chops needed to keep the jazz mainstream fresh... Lou Kannenstine - Green Mountain Jazz Messenger
Dave is a consummate saxophonist and composer... with a very unique approach to the jazz language. He combines a netherworld of harmonic intensity and tasteful altissimo...with sensitive and tasteful blowing. Tim Price - Saxophone Journal
"On Now Becoming Then saxophonist Pietro has prepared a rich feast for listeners.." Bill Bennett - Jazz Times Magazine
"Alto saxophonist Dave Pietro possesses a beautiful sound. He also has terrific command of the saxophone, a great time feel, plenty of imagination and a gift as a composer." Billy Kerr - Saxophone Journal
"Juba is written with a rhythmic, melodic and harmonic sophistication that everyone has come to expect from saxophone virtuoso Dave Pietro, one of the finest composers of our time. " Wayne Goins. JAM (Jazz Ambassadors Magazine)

Barcelona plays host to X06
One of Microsoft's occasionally-annual Xbox-themed industry shindigs is back for 2006, with Redmond announcing that X06 will be held in Barcelona. September 27th and 28th are the dates, and we're promised all manner of gaming announcements concerning the Xbox 360, Xbox Arcade and Windows PC. Experts are already suggesting that the timing of X06 means Microsoft will have little to say for themselves at the Tokyo Game Show, which is held this year between September 22nd and the 24th.
X06 will play host to anyone who's anyone in the games business, as well as hosting innumerable Microsoft partners. X05 certainly offered-up a few surprises, such as Peter Jackson's role in the new Halo flick, as well as Bioware's Mass Effect, so we're hopeful for more excitement in Spain this year. More for the PC is anticipated at this year's show, with Microsoft building towards the launch of Windows Vista.
More on Microsoft's downloadable content plans are expected for the Xbox 360, and we'll be on the prowl for news of new games, accessories, et al. More soon.

NIGHT 'CAP: BrayWatch set to resume after getting practice clearance
-- On getting Bray back: "It would be kind of overwhelming. I mean, that's the guy that we're used to playing with, that's a guy that knows this offense and is comfortable with everybody and is kind of what everybody is used to. Having him back there would be a tad bit of different. He'd be settled in, he'd know what to look for in the reads, you know, this is kind of his second time coming around as a sophomore, so it could be great for us having him back if he's capable."
-- On watching him before the Arkansas game: "Definitely, definitely, you want to see him get back and hopefully be the same player or even better than he was. We're hoping and wanting him back as soon as possible, so everybody was a little anxious and catching some little peeks at him."
-- On Bray wanting to play: "I mean, I asked him during the week and he kept saying he was going to come back (for Arkansas). But I could tell during the week he didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday, so I was like, 'OK, it's going to be (Justin) Worley or Matt (Simms),' I kind of knew from the beginning of the week."
-- On how he looked Saturday: "He looked good to me. But I'm not a trainer, so I don't really know what looks good. That's his hand, and that's something he really can't control. You've got to let that get healthy, because that's what he uses to work. But to me he looked healthy. I think he's coming back this week. Hopefully he's healthy and doesn't injure himself again worse, you know, just comes out and turns our season around for us."
-- On the difference he can make: "Quarterback makes a huge difference. Look at us, for example. You have Bray who goes down, then Matt Simms has to come in after not really playing all year, little rusty and tries his best against the No. 1 team and the No. 2 team in the nation, doesn't have that much chemistry with the guys because he hasn't really got his reps. Then they put in Worley, who's a freshman and is still wet behind the ears, and when you can't put points on the board, it demoralizes your defense a little bit. They've got to keep going out there and trying to stop them, and last week they just kept racking up the points and not to say anything bad about the offense, but we couldn't score any points and we keep looking at the scoreboard, even though coach Dooley says not to, you look at it and go, 'Wow, that kind of sucks.' Quarterbacks are a huge, huge part of this team. Without one, we're pretty much nothing."
-- On the possible return: "I think that would be a good lift. We know what type of talent Tyler is. I saw him out there in pre-game throwing the ball, looked like he was making all the throws, and I think we're going to take it day-by-day and see how he develops, how that thumb heals. Hopefully we're going to have him this week."
-- On seeing him Saturday: "Even in practice he was out there throwing it around a little bit, so we already knew the thumb was healing pretty fast. But to see him out there Saturday in a jersey, I think that gave everybody much more of a spark."
All I know is that with Bray under center our chances of a win greatly increase.Let's go out and kick in some Dore's. GO VOLS!!

LifeChurch's YouVersion Bible app is the official companion app of the "The Bible," a 10-part cable television series set to premiere Sunday on the History channel.
Edmond-based church's app is connected to 'The Bible' TV series
Bobby Gruenewald, pastor-innovation leader with the Edmond-based megachurch, said the connection between the TV series and YouVersion was several years in the making and one that he and other LifeChurch leaders are proud of.
Gruenewald, who created the app, said it has been an honor working with the show's executive producers: Mark Burnett, producer of "Survivor," and his wife, actress Roma Downey, best-known for the TV series "Touched By an Angel."
In this question-and-answer format, Gruenewald discusses the popular Bible app's connection to the new TV series.
Q: How did YouVersion come to be connected with "The Bible" series?
A: I developed a relationship with Mark Burnett, the producer of "Survivor" and "The Bible" series, and really through that relationship, we talked about how we could help "The Bible" series to be as successful as possible.
We really believe in what he's doing and really feel like it's an incredible visualization of the Bible that we're excited to be able to see. Our purpose is to engage people in God's word — that's what we do with YouVersion and why we created it. So we felt that if there was any way we could help contribute to more people experiencing the Bible in a new way, it would be an important combination. We've been working really hard to incorporate some of the content into our apps and do what we can to get the word out about this great series that is starting Sunday night.
Q: Why did you see this as a prime opportunity for YouVersion to get involved?
A: Part of what we have done with YouVersion is really try to work with new media and really leverage technology to help people engage with the Bible. We feel like what Mark Burnett and Roma Downey are doing with this series is essentially taking the medium of video and really trying to do the exact same thing. It presents the Bible in a whole new way, and potentially a whole new audience will be able to connect with it and really have it come to life, so it fits with what we do 'missionally.' ... And then we also feel like there will be millions of people watching on television, and we would love to be able to connect them to an app that they can have with them every day of the week. As they become interested in the Bible and maybe experience it in a new way, we think it's sort of natural to want to have it be a part of their everyday lives. We think our app does a great job with that, so that's another reason we felt like it would be great to be connected to the series.

• Coahulla Creek 182, Ringgold 183: Ringgold's John Espy took medalist honors with an even-par 36, but Coahulla Creek used its consistency across the lineup to take a one-stroke win in the dual match.
The four golfers for the Colts were all within four strokes of each other as Austin Cole led the Colts with a 43 and was followed by David Manis (45), Ian Conway (47) and Alex Longmire (47).
• Southeast Whitfield girls 5, Ridgeland 0: In Rossville, the Lady Raiders (1-2, 1-1 Sub-region 7B-4A) got wins from the No. 1 doubles team of Ally Stanley and Julie Cole, 6-0, 6-0, and No. 1 singles player Daisy Maya, 6-1, 5-0 (retired).
Ridgeland forfeited the rest of the courts.
• Southeast boys 5, Ridgeland 0: Also on the road, the Raiders (1-2, 1-1 Sub-region 7B-4A) swept the singles competition and took forfeit victories in doubles.

Davidoff: Yanks will not tender WangBy
The deadline for teams to offer contracts to players under their control is midnight tonight, and Ken Davidoff reports that the Yankees will not tender Chien-Ming Wang a contract. Davidoff initially reported this development six days ago via Twitter and confirms it tonight.
Says the brief subscribers' only article on Newsday's website:
The Yankees' top priority this offseason remains improving their starting rotation. On Saturday, however, they'll bid farewell to the pitcher who has won the most games since Brian Cashman became a bona fide general manager. Chien-Ming Wang, still rehabilitating after right shoulder surgery, will not be tendered a contract by the Yankees Saturday. He might very well top the list of non-tenders throughout the industry…
Wang's agent, Alan Nero, has said the righthander could be ready by Opening Day, but Cashman said this past week that he thinks Wang will be back sometime between April and June. The Yankees simply don't think Wang will be able to contribute in any significant fashion in 2010."
Wang, who turns 30 in March, was signed by the Yanks as an international free agent in 2000. He made his Major League debut in 2005 and turned in three very strong seasons for the Yanks at a time when the team couldn't find pitching. In mid-2008, though, disaster struck when Wang suffered a freak Lisfranc injury while running the bases during an Interleague Play game in Houston.
After sitting out the second half of 2008 while rehabbing his foot, the sinker ball specialist attempted a comeback in 2009. He suffered through a bout of horrendous ineffectiveness early on. In his first three appearances of the year, he lasted just 6 innings and allowed 23 earned runs on 23 hits and six walks. After spending a month on the disabled list to build up his lower body strength, he came back in late May and was better. Over his final nine games for the Yanks, he went 1-3 with a 5.50 ERA in 36 innings. Encouraging for Wang were the 27 strike outs, but he left his July 4th start with shoulder pains. A few weeks later, after three different opinions, he opted for labrum surgery, the second major arm procedure of his career.
At this point, the Yankees are moving forward without Wang in their plans. He says that a Bronx return remains his first choice, and as a non-tendered free agent, he could come back to the Yanks on a low base salary with some incentives. The Dodgers, however, will be very keen to bid for his services.
Still, even before his injury, the Yanks were wary of Wang's long-term ability to get outs. They want to arbitration with him after the 2007 season over a matter of $600,000 and then saw his sinker ball lose its effectiveness during the first half of 2008. Had the Yanks tendered Wang, they would have owed him at least $4 million in 2010, and that was a financial risk the team was simply unwilling to take.
Wang was a shining star on the Yanks when the team had no pitching. He was always calm and collected on the hill, and he was a true superstar in his native Taiwan. If this is the end of the Yanks' relationship with Wang, I'll tip my hat to Number 40 and wish him well wherever he lands. A promising career cut short by a freak accident is a sad even to witness indeed.
After the jump, a photo from the Yanks' rookie hazing efforts in 2005. Hard to believe how far Wang, grinning happily in that photo, and the Yanks have come since then.

This is me surprised. -_-
Hopefully the Yanks can sign him to MiLB deal. If not, hopefully they can sign him split-contract or something if no one else offers him a MLB deal (which seems unlikely).
On a side note, LOL at "tender" and "Wang" in the same sentence. [/immature'd]
my wang is definitely tender
/jeter after a night with jessica alba'd
This makes me very sad. I can only hope that Wang bounces back and has a great year.
um, what's with the sorta weird picture?
Rookie hazing most likely.
I understand but I'm still sad.
This picture is pretty fucking weak coming from you guys.
I didn't expect this.
What? It's funny picture that I'm sure a lot of people have seen before. I don't find anything inappropriate with it.
Well, I mean, think of it like this. You just got fired from your job due to some freak circumstances beyond your control and some poor work on your part. The company releases a statement announces your dismissal. They show a photo of you in a clown suit on "bring your kid to work" day. Not exactly the same thing, but same sentiments, in my book.
Oh, OK. I didn't see it as that.
Heh.. Yeah, if Cash posted this photo it'd be dick. Ben posted a photo that shows young Rookie Wang in an article that spoke of how times have changed. I liked it. I think most people here love Wanger and wish him well. I know I'm not the only one that hopes we can have him back to resurrect his career.
Well, the post has been edited from the one I originally commented on. I like the post now, if I can like an article that talks about how my favorite newcomer yankee is being non-tendered
get over yourself
I wasn't trying to sound high and mighty or anything. I just thought that the one pitcher who actually delivered during the recent down period deserves a little more recognition than a pic of him in a cheerleading outfit.

Mike Mussina says hello.
This is disappointing. I was a big fan of Wang. I hope the Yankees can work out an incentive deal with a low base salary.
Is Wang really any worse than the other high risk pitchers out there? Ben Sheets, Justin Duchscherer and Erik Bedard have all faced recent injuries like Wang, it seems like they all are in a similar situation. They have had success in the past, but have a questionable future.
It seems like the Yankees have been moving towards having mostly power pitchers like Sabathia, Burnett, Chamberlain, Hughes. Wang doesn't really fit that.
the main issue with Wang isn't his ceiling as a reclamation project, it's that as a short term contract (which is really all that can be offered) he's the mostly likely candidate to not even be ready for several months into the season (think the smoltz experience for the red sox this year)
that defeats the point of a short term signing of a cost effective pitcher to bolster the rotation depth and eat innings to cover joba/phranchise
that said, from a fan's perspective i agree with you that its real sad to see him go. he was my favorite pitcher in the yanks rotation while he was our de facto ace and was one of the few dependable things for the team during that period
the best case scenario would be wang signing with a team not named the dodgers on a one year deal, performing fairly well and then being looked at us again next year
I've watched the last season of that show but after I read your name, I still read this as if the real Sheldon were reading it.

I disagree. The fact that Wang wouldn't be ready until midseason makes him MORE attractive to the Yankees this 2010 season, not less.
We would have no room for him or place to put him in April; our rotation is full, the bullpen would likely be full, and he can't be optioned to the minors.
We would, however, likely need an extra pitcher by midseason, because pitchers always get knicked up and there's a good likelihood that one of our front 5 of CC-AJ-Andy-Joba-Hughes may be hurt come June/July/August. Wang would have value then, and that's right around the time Wang would conveniently be available.
So, the ultimatum: Do you think the Yanks sign Wang, or even make him an offer?
I hope so, but I don't think they will.
Yeah but TSJC you are confident that the rotation is set. Rotation depth could also be that they want another starter to make Hughes and/or Joba earn the starting spot. The attitude last time this happened was that the Yankees were wrong and wouldn't do it again.
I am not saying I am in favor of either being in the pen. I said yesterday that there comes a time when they need to let 'em fly and see what they have. All I am saying is having a depth that may be ready by mid season, and then have to struggle through the first few starts until the pitcher gets the feel back, is not necessarily the ideal (or only) way to go. I personally would rather have a guy like Duke who could start right away if they deem it necessary.
And why would they be hurt in June/July/August but not in April/May/June? Pitchers get hurt all the time. Just look at Brandon Webb last year.
But again, if you want Joba and Phil to start from day one, you should be looking for pitchers who won't re ready to start by day one, because the pitchers who WILL be ready to start by day one won't want to come here because they know they wouldn't have a spot or a role.
It's a Catch-22. If you're good enough and healthy enough to provide reliable depth behing Joba and Phil, you won't come here. If you're a drastically riskier or inferior option that that won't be reliable and may not be ready/productive at all, you will.
If the Yankees cut both Wang and Hideki Matsui how do they keep a presence in the Asian markets? Would cutting ties with both these players affect their ability to sign players out of Asia?
Eh, if we don't sign him, Hideki had his glory years (in MLB) as a Yankee, won a World Series MVP, obviously the 1st for an Japanese player, as a Yankee, and will be remembered as a Yankee. Wang, barring a great comeback, had his best year as a Yankee too. People will remember their times as Yankees and that those time were pretty good. So, I dont think cutting ties with both will have any affect on their presence in Asia. If they had a bad stint in NY, maybe some might see the Yanks in a negative way if they cut ties with them both. But that wasn't the case.
Besides, I'm sure Asian players, or any other player in general, will usually sign with the team that offers the most money, and the Yanks have good chance of being that team if the player is good enough.
I doubt it. At the end of the day the Yankees are still baseball's Manchester United.
But run much, much better.
We could sign Ryota Igarashi.
how did they sign Wang and Matsui before they had Wang and Matsui?
by offering the most money.
nothing has changed.
Nothing is absolute, a small part of me is still grasping onto whatever hope might be left. Maybe, Yankees will go ahead with a incentive based kinda deal…. but if not…
I salute you and tip my cap to you Chien Ming Wang, until we meet again. I will also retire your Yankees merchandise in a nice box and put away nicely. You will always be the "ace" of the staff during those years. Good times.
wow ShuutoHeat, you have officially creeped me out!
This depresses me, I hope the guy takes an incentive laden contract with the Yanks.
The 2006 year where he was 19-6 with a 3.63 ERA in 218 innings despite a 3.14 k/9 is one of the most remarkable things I have seen. That will no be duplicated anytime soon.
He had a foot injury and the Yanks told him not to exercise his legs. He wasn't pitching properly as a result. The Yanks didn't realize it. He injured his shoulder because he needed to use his arm more because his legs were weak (remember the no leg exercise).
The Yank hardly covered themselves in glory on this one.
you're making a lot of assumptions here.
remember, Wang was plagued with shoulder injuries through the minors. he had shoulder surgery previously, and i believe he had issues in 2005.
i would also surmise that the Yankees' approach to a long term contract with Wang suggests that there was more to his medicals than we knew of.
so, we really don't know. and it's not really true that the yankees told him not to exercise his legs. they told him to ride a bike instead of running.
but that probably conflicts with the whole we on the internet know more than the yankees meme.
I don't think that I know more than the Yankees – it's not my job to be on top of the recovery of a pitcher who can win 19 games a year. It's the Yankees' job and they pretty clearly screwed it up. Wang was not ready to pitch in 2009. His delivery had changed. Everything was off. And yet out he went. And he got injured. I draw my conclusions from that. You draw yours.
Good job, guys. Some good insights in these postings. Agreed on wishing the best for Chien-Ming, +40. And thanks to him for giving us some great years. Am wide awake. I think, after Friday, we're down to 68 days to pitchers and catchers.
It might be time to revisit the whole DH-for-all-interleague games thing soon.
Umm . . . no. You cant change the rules or how you use your roster based on one freak injury.
Brian Bruney got the exact same injury pitching off a mound, should we change all the mounds now too?
actually, he hurt his foot running to cover first on a wet field during a night they shouldn't have been playing.
so, in a way, that was avoidable too.
not that i disagree with your larger point.
On a side note, Ken Davidoff is a pretentious turd.
It is sad to see Wang's Yankee career end that way, but he got a ring, and he did his country proud (As did Matsui). What might be their strongest attributes, is the way they conducted themselves with honor and pride (Like Jeter and Mariano do (Guys even admired by Gammons and the Red Sox Nation). I tip my cap to them.
What might be their strongest attributes is the way they conducted themselves with honor and pride… I tip my cap to them.
But not to that crazy uppity ungrateful communist lefty pinko hypocrite nutjob fuckface Carlos Delgado, eh?
I say the 5 of us get together and beat the shit out of him.
Loyal Right-Wing Americans Sal, Bo, Grant, and Lanny
My feelings and opinions of Delgado are an entirely different matter (I simply don't want him on the team (His influence on Latin American players in the Met Clubhouse, made Willie Randolph's job exponentially more difficult, and his disrespect for "God Bless America" is simply icing on the cake)). What was great about the 2009 Yankees, was the fact they were likable: CC, Tex, Jeter, Mariano, Wang, Matsui, and the rest were credits to the Pinstripes (Even A-Rod was on his best behavior after he came back). The dynasty teams had guys you could not stand: Clemens, Leyritz, Knoblauch, Gooden, Strawberry etc (Wife beaters, cheaters etc). That difference is what made 2009 special. I don't want the Delgado's or Milton Bradley's on the team to ruin it.
Until Delgado refuses to make money in America, he should Goddamn well stand during the song. Nobody is asking him to sing along. Many thousands of people died to give people from all over the world, not just Americans, the right to visit this free country of ours and in thousands of cases, earn a paycheck too.
Peter Abraham is in tears…
f'ing interleague play. I have been angry about that injury since it happened. It sucks for an AL pitcher to have his career take a swan dive because he was running the bases. Enough with this interleague crap. Maybe just your "rivals" (Mets) once or twice a season but not the whole damn NL. It's got to stop.
I'll always thank him for introducing me to MLB, but that's about it.
Good luck to him elsewhere!
This makes me really sad. I am going to miss Wang.
Certainly sad news. I wish Chien-Ming the best of luck.
I'm going to echo the thoughts of just about everyone in this thread and wish Wang well, and hope that the Yankees sign him to some sort of incentive-laden contract.
This is exactly how I wanted and expected the Yanks to handle this situation. If the Yanks want to address depth concerns, i'm pretty sure Mitre and Gaudin could step in and pitch as effective as Wang. Wang is vulnerable to any number of setbacks.
The brass might have just saved $5 mm that it can now proceed to re-allocate to DH. Hopefully, these dollars bridge the gap with Matsui.
Sounds like an obituary.
part of the reason this is so sad is because we, as yankee fans, rarely have to experience losing a fan favorite.
but this is what it feels like to root for most teams. you get attached and as soon as they get close to FA, they're gone.
doesn't happen much to us. which is nice.
hopefully Wang comes back to us, but if not, hopefully Torre doesn't finish him off for good.
there are some wrong information in this posting:
1. After undergoing foot surgery last year: there is not surgery actually.
2.they(yanks) went to arbitration with him after the 2007 season over a matter of $800,000 :it's 600,000.
3.and then saw his sinker ball lose its effectiveness during the first half of 2008 : he actually had a very good start at the begining of 2008,went 6-0 for the first 8 or 9 starts with ERA only 2.+.
I knew it was coming, but I'm certainly disappointed. Wang was a bright light, along with Cano, when the team desperately needed to find its way. I understand that this makes sense business-wise, but it bugs me that the team helped create the problem (Meachem; telling him not to build leg strength in the off-season) and seems to feel little responsibility to correct it. I'm not 100% sure what earns a player that kind of respect, but my guess is it's an A-Rod, Tex or CC-size contract.
Yankees no longer have Wang
Yankees say goodbye to Wang
Yankees severe ties with oft-injured Wang
I'd like to see him sign with Boston as a reclamation project just to see if some of you guys will really wish him luck wherever he ends up Plus, we still need pitching. (and hitting, and defense, and …..)
[...] either have been tendered a contract or let go. We are pretty confident that the Yanks are going to non-tender Chien-Ming Wang, and although the team has yet to announce it, they probably will tender Melky Cabrera, Chad Gaudin [...]
The Yankees must be conservative and practical when it comes to budgeting payroll. Chien-Ming Wang is not worth $ 4 million. Being injured for two consecutive years lowered Wang's value and it is best for the Yankees to let him go.
The Yankees would be better off if they spend the $ 4 million to starting pitching or additional arm in the bullpen.
If nobody gets Wang (which I don't think will happen), the Yankees could bring him back with a lower salary.

Jake Owen - "Startin' With Me"
Jake Owen put out a great sounding record this year, and this is the title cut. In it, the man takes a look back at the things he's done in his life that he doesn't like, and wishes he could change a lot of things, starting with himself. This is a very different sort of sound from Jake, as fans that don't have his album may only know him from his first single, the upbeat party song, "Yee Haw."
George Strait - "It Just Comes Natural"
This is the title cut to George's 34th studio album. This is a different sound than the first single, Give It Away, but just as good. He sings that loving his lady is something that just comes natural. Do I hear a fifty-fourth number one record calling?
Clay Walker - "'Fore She Was Mama"
It's good to hear something new from Clay Walker again. Clay does ballads so well, but he also can rock out the mid-tempo songs, like this one. It's got a really catchy chorus that will stick in your head.

Jock itch, also known as 'Tinea Cruris' is a kind of fungus infection caused due to the exposure and growth of the fungus Trichophyton rubrum. Jock itch affects both men and women and this fungal infection can be found on the groin, buttocks, genital area and inner thighs.
Some of the symptoms of jock itch are itching, redness, burning sensation, and flaking of skin on the affected skin area. People having diseases like AIDS, diabetes and obesity are more prone to suffer from jock itch due to weak immune system.
Jock itch is mildly contagious, so it is necessary not to share personal belongings with any other person. Even though it is a minor medical condition, it can be very uncomfortable and embarrassing. Fortunately, you can try various natural home remedies for jock itch in order to get some relief from the uncomfortable symptoms.
Here are top 10 ways to get rid of Jock Itch.
1. Tea Tree Oil
As tea tree oil has got natural antifungal properties, it can be used to solve the problem of jock itch along with other types of skin infection. This oil has also got deep cleansing and stimulating elements along with powerful antibacterial quality. With the help of a clean cotton ball apply tea tree oil to the affected skin area twice daily. This will help to get rid of the itchiness and inflammation. Continue to apply tea tree oil for a few days until the symptoms of jock itch disappear completely. For effective results, it is also a good idea to use soap or shower gel containing tea tree oil.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Washing the infected skin area with diluted apple cider vinegar is a great way to deal with jock itch as it has got strong properties to cure and control different types of skin infections. Prepare a mixture by adding one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water. Now use this solution to wash the infected area and allow it to dry on its own for about ten minutes. Repeat this process two to three times in a day and especially before going to bed. Another option is to make a mixture by adding half cup of butter and one teaspoon of alcohol to one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Put this mixture in the refrigerator for four to five hours and then apply it on the affected body part. This remedy is not for those who have highly sensitive skin.
3. Garlic
Garlic is a great ingredient that can be used in the treatment of jock itch. Take few garlic cloves and crush them. Now apply the crushed garlic cloves directly on the affected skin area. Soon this remedy will give you relief from the itchy feeling and pain and at the same time it will also control the growth of infection. Another option is to blend few garlic cloves with olive oil and then apply it on the infected area two to three times a day. You can eat raw garlic to make your immune system strong which will work as a healing method. If you wish you can also take garlic supplement daily to get benefitted from the antifungal properties of garlic.
4. Bleach
Prepare a mixture by adding two tablespoon of bleach to two glasses of warm water. Take a clean cotton cloth and dip it into this mixture and apply it on the infected body part. Repeat this process three to four times a day for several days until you get relief from the symptoms of jock itch. Else you can also soak in a bathtub prepared with one quarter cup of bleach and a bathtub full of water. You can do it daily or every alternate day depending upon the growth of infection. Never forget to pat dry your skin problem after this remedy as moisture can worsen the condition.
5. White Vinegar
Bathing in diluted white vinegar or applying it directly onto the affected skin area can also help a lot in dealing with skin infection like jock itch. Take one part of white vinegar and mix it to four parts of clean water. Now, soak a washcloth in this diluted white vinegar solution and use it to gently wash the affected area thoroughly. Allow the solution to dry on its own. This remedy will prevent the infection from returning or spreading. Another option is to apply diluted white vinegar and coconut oil onto the affected skin area twice daily.
6. Salt Bath
Taking regular bath with salt water is one of the easiest ways to solve the problem of jock itch. It can also be effective in treating boils and blisters. To enjoy this kind of bath fill the bath tub with warm water and add salt to it generously. You can use Epsom salts, bath salts, or iodized salt. Soak your body in this warm solution for twenty to thirty minutes. This procedure should be practiced at least twice a day for better result. Salt will help the infection to heal quickly and at the same time it will also control the growth of fungus.

Arroceros Forest Park
Arroceros Forest Park is a bit of land beside the Quezon Bridge and Pasig River, and across LRT Central Terminal Station. You might have heard about it from the new Echo-Kristine soap "Dahil May Isang Ikaw" on ABS-CBN. Echo's character waits every day for Kristine's character on the bridge of that park . It's their supposed meeting place after being separated since childhood.
I visited that park after buying some stuff in Quiapo. You wouldn't know that this bit of land across Central Terminal Station is a park. It's fenced up which gives a notion to passers-by that it's off limits to the public. There's a guard house beside the gate. As you enter, you'll then see a two-storey building on the right. The building is the office of the City Schools Division. The park was closed to the public after ex-Mayor Lito Atienza converted the park as government office. But present Mayor Alfredo Lim reopened the park to the public in 2007.
The place has a quiet and cool atmosphere. The place looks like it's not well-maintained but you can sit on one of the benches, appreciate the stillness of the surroundings and enjoy nature. The bridge in the middle of the park that was used as one of the locations in the soap opera is already destroyed. And the pond below it doesn't look like there's fish in it. But I can see a group of frogs swimming in the water. I hope the people in charge of rehabilitating the park could fix this soon. It can be a tourist attraction for those who watch and enjoy the soap.

Ismail says that the contract gives ESPN broadcasting rights in North America for the next 12 months, beginning with this Saturday's event in Sao Paulo, and that there's also an option to renew from year to year. UPDATE: Ismail tells Marcelo Alonso that this Saturday's event will air live on ESPN Deportes at 9PM ET / 6PM PT.

The first question any Gen X'er will ask about the Muppet movie opening today is "Did they ruin it?"
I'm happy to report no. No, they did not.
In fact, Jason Segel, in his years-long crusade to revive the Muppet franchise, has created a movie that entertains delightfully while subtly throwing down a challenge against the hyper-cynical, low-quality entertainment culture in which we find ourselves.
Like a green, gentle Batman, Kermit appears when we most need him.
