Ash Wednesday: Help feed poor


16 | Ash Wednesday -- Chuck Knows Church

MANILA, Philippines The Lenten season starts with Ash Wednesday today, with the Catholic Church asking the faithful to fast and help in feeding the poor.

Archbishop of Manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle has asked for support in the Churchs Fast2Feed programs target of feeding 25,000 malnourished children.

The Fast2Feed asked Catholics to fast and donate money to the Hapag-Asa program of Pondo ng Pinoy of the Archdiocese of Manila and its suffragan dioceses, CBCPNews, the official news service provider of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines reported.

In a pastoral letter for Ash Wednesday, Tagle asked the faithful to feed hungry children as their concrete act of charity in this Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy.

It only takes P1,200 or P10 a day to bring back a hungry and malnourished child to a healthy state in six months, he said.

Let us make a difference in their lives by fasting and donating whatever we save to Hapag-Asa. Let us Fast2Feed.

Headlines ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1

The program provides supplemental feeding and early childhood education and livelihood and skills training for parents.

Last year, donationsprovided more than 21,000 malnourished and undernourished children in the Pondo ng Pinoy member dioceses with warm and nutritious meals every day for six months.

Donations can be made through Fast2Feed envelopes distributed in various parishes and they may be offered during the mass or be turned over to the parish office.

Ash Wednesday signals the start of Lent, the season for Catholics to do good works, fast and pray.

And with the Year of Mercy being observed by the Church, Tagle said Lent should be a particular occasion to heed Pope Francis call to practice mercy through concrete acts of charity.

Amy Schumer was voted class clown in high school (obviously)


Inside Amy Schumer - Last F**kable Day - Uncensored

It will come as no surprise to fans of Amy Schumer that she was voted Class Comedian as revealed by this yearbook photo from South Side HS in Rockville Centre, LI.

Photo: Jeff Rayner/Coleman-Rayner

But classmate Stephen Cannoli Cannone, who shared that honor, says she was voted something else too: Teachers Worst Nightmare.

That doesnt show up in the 1999 yearbook, though. Schumer failed to pose for the photo because she had a habit of cutting class.

Shes really smart so she would kind of play with the teachers without them even realizing it and then we would work off each other making jokes, said Cannone, 34.

The gut-busting cohorts were both part of a group known around school as the funny and crazy crowd.

The mischievous clique was also partying at a college level when they were only 15 years old, hitting bars in Manhattan with their fake IDs and never missed a night out.

The hilarious buds first met when Cannone moved from Manhattan to Rockville Centre in 1990 and attended the same elementary school as Schumer.

We used to walk home from school at the same time every day on the opposite sides of the street and she would sometimes make wisecracks at me, Cannone reminisced. We were only about 9 or 10 then.

Though Cannoli didnt pursue a life of comedy himself, he says humor has brought him a long way in his profession as a sales and marketing consultant.

He also promised that Schumers rise to stardom hasnt changed her.

I cant see fame ever getting to her, he said. Shes always going to be who she is.

Kevin Hart, Coldplay, the Mannings, Marilyn Monroe: Super Bowl 50"s winners and losers


Kevin Hart Challenges Draymond Green to Three-Point Contest

Sometimes you need more than a scoreboard to pick out the winners and losers. Here they are, from Super Bowl 50:

Winner: CBS. Analyst Phil Simms was blah and the broadcast lacked a few key replays, but Nielsen ratings indicate it was the third-most-watched event in U.S. TV history, netting 111.9 million viewers.

Loser: Those 111.9 million viewers. Glance at the box score (194 total yards for the champion Broncos), and you"d think the game was played in a monsoon. And that Hyundai ad with the talking Bears contained more drama.

Winner: John Elway. Legendary quarterback made it his business to rebuild the Broncos defense after pedestrian stats in 2013. Plus he had the stones to split with coach John Fox after a 12-4 season.

Loser: Ron Rivera. Twelve penalties, four turnovers, poor tackling, a special teams gaffe on punt coverage the buck stops with a coach who did everything right from September to January.

Winner: Peyton Manning. For choosing the right team to sign with four years ago.

(Sore) Loser: Cam Newton. Sure, his O-line and receivers let him down, but his dab-free night started with a lack of awareness (Von Miller"s strip from his non-blind side), continued with a subpar effort to fall on one of his fumbles (Deion Sanders called it a "business decision") and concluded with a graceless exit from his interview session that was beneath a league MVP and superstar endorser.

Winner: Von Miller. The Panthers had 16 offensive plays in which Miller rushed from the left side. They lost 17 yards on them and fumbled twice. Miller, though, wasn"t satisfied by his MVP performance, saying he "should have had" two or three more sacks.

Loser: The officials. Explain to me again why Newton"s first-quarter pass to Jerricho Cotchery was not ruled a completion after a replay review. There were some extremely unnecessary unnecessary-roughness calls. And the officials allowed a Broncos defender to wrap his arms around Ted Ginn on a third-and-9 in the final quarter.

Winner: Stopwatches. The over-under on Lady Gaga"s national anthem was 2 minutes, 16.5 seconds. Depending on whether you include the second "brave," her rendition lasted either 2:09 or 2:20. Some online sportsbooks paid the over and others paid the under, according to pregame.com.

Loser: The betting public. The line opened at Panthers minus-3.5 (3 in a few books) and was bet up to six points, meaning the bulk of the wagers were on the Panthers. The pro bettors favored the Broncos, gobbling up points to go with a superb defense.

Winner: Lou Canellis. The standard Broncos money line paid plus-185, or $185 for $100 wagered. But the FOX-32 anchor felt so confident in the Broncos, he took the underdogs and laid 7.5 points. The gutsy wager paid plus-475.

Loser: Coldplay. Let me make this clear: I LOVE COLDPLAY. I don"t care if that makes me sound as macho as Justin Bieber, but no artist can look good sandwiched between the immortal Beyonce and funkadelic Bruno Mars. Coldplay took a beating on Twitter, even though "Fix You" was a spectacular backdrop for footage of past Super Bowl performances.

Winner: Little kids. The ones in my house rocked out to the halftime show. Guessing they were not alone.

Winner: Thomas Davis. His Instagram post, thanking the Panthers training staff, and picture of his stitched-up right arm said it all.

Loser: Eli Manning. Social media was all over him for his subdued reaction to his big brother"s victory. The rest of the Manning contingent in the luxury suite roared with approval.

Winner: Aqib Talib. He slipped and wiped out as he was heading to the NFL Network stage for a postgame interview. But the Broncos cornerback emerged smiling, with arms raised.

Loser: Aqib Talib. Committed two personal fouls (though his facemask penalty cost his team less than 2 yards) and took an additional cheap shot after the game, saying of Newton: "There ain"t no Easter bunny, there ain"t no Santa Claus, there ain"t no Superman."

Winner: "Papa John" Schnatter. Manning gave the pizza magnate a smooch on the cheek as he strolled to midfield after the game.

Winners: Kevin Hart and Drake. Hart played an overprotective dad while stalking his daughter"s date in a hilarious Hyundai ad. Drake played along with toolish ad execs in a T-Mobile spot. And thanks to Mexican avocados, we know Scott Baio is alive and well.

Loser: Marilyn Monroe. Her iconic image above a subway grate was cheapened by a candy bar ad.

Winner: Greg Olsen. The former Bears tight end delivered the quote of the night: "We picked a really bad day to have a meltdown."

If You"ve Never Questioned Tom Brady"s or Bill Belichick"s Lack of Humility, Don"t Question Cam Newton"s


Tom Brady The G.O.A.T.
Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers reacts after the Denver Broncos defeat of the Panthers, 24-10, to win Super Bowl 50, Feb. 7, 2016, in Santa Clara, Calif.

Kevin C. c*x/Getty Images

Cam Newton has been a superstar this NFL season. Theres no doubting the fact that hes one of the best players out there, but the Carolina Panthers didnt do enough to clinch the Super Bowl 50 title Sunday night. But its what happened off the field that has people talking now.

During his postgame interview, Newton wasnt excited about being there. And did people actually expect someone who has pretty much carried his team the whole season to be excited about talking about a loss?

Newton took a play out of the Marshawn Lynch interview handbook and wasnt exactly responding to questions from reporters. He didnt have the energy were used to seeing. After sitting and answering questions for almost 3 minutes, Newton walked off the stage.

What you saw was a 26-year-old man who was upset about a loss. And not just any loss. But hes supposed to be humble and show humility, right?

If Newton hadnt answered any questions at all, maybe people would have a reason to be upset. But even the MVP can get upset at himself for losing.

Its funny. Next to being forgiving, it seems as though black people should also be humble and show humility at the drop of a dime. You have no time to grieve. You have no time to deal with a loss. Its interesting how no one ever commented on Tom Bradys or even Bill Belichicks interviews. They get a pass; but Newton doesnt. h**l, you even had a former NFL player refer to Newton as a boy on Twitter because of his postgame interview.

Do I blame Newton for walking off the stage? Nope. He answered questions; he did what he was required to do. I do blame people for acting as if theyre owed something and as if hes supposed to be humble. But then again, its what we"re expected to be: forgiving and humble.
