Seth Rogen returned to Saturday Night Live for his third hosting stint this weekend, and it was distinctly not a charm.
The episode started off promisingly, with Rogen's monologue featuring cameos from celebs — some surprising (Zooey Deschanel), some predictable (James Franco), and some who were there to support musical guest Ed Sheeran (Taylor Swift). But the rest of the night was a bit of a slog, save for a bizarre sketch featuring Franco as a monster who decides to get plastic surgery to appear human.
Anna Kendrick handled hosting duties at Saturday Night Live for the first time this weekend, in an episode that offered a few memorable moments among mostly mediocre sketches.
Highlights included the sure-to-go-viral music video "Dongs All Over the World," starring Kendrick, Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, Sasheer Zamata and Cecily Strong, as well as George R.R. Martin (Bobby Moynihan) stopping by "Weekend Update" to discuss the new Game of Thrones book he's working on.

The sister-in-law of a Miami assistant manager who was hired by the city's Parks Department shortly after arriving from Cuba has quit her job.
Dayami Davila, 44, resigned on Wednesday, a day after El Nuevo Herald reported on allegations of nepotism in the department. Davila's husband, Juan Carlos Cabrera, the half-brother of Assistant City Manager Luis Cabrera, however, remains on the job.
During a public hearing last week on the city's budget, a part-time parks employee complained of unfair hiring practices and criticized the hirings of Cabrera's relatives.
Interim City Manager Daniel Alfonso said he asked the city's independent auditor to look into the matter after hearing the allegations.
"As far as I can tell and according to the people answering questions, the correct process was followed," he said. "But I asked the independent auditor to look into because I wanted to make sure that the investigation is done by an impartial third person."
Luis Cabrera has said he had nothing to do with the hirings. Parks Director Juan Pascual, who is under Cabrera's supervision, also said Cabrera did not influence his decision to hire his half-brother.
Juan Carlos Cabrera and his wife came to Miami from Cuba at the end of 2012. Soon after obtaining his work permit, Juan Carlos Cabrera applied for a city job. A week later, city officials authorized the filling of a full-time, temporary parks inspector position that pays $12.75 an hour. He started in March.
His wife got a job at the Jose Marti Park gym two months later. She earned $10.63 per hour and worked about 25 hours per week.
Yamilet Moreno, the part-time employee who complained at last week's hearing, said the problems in the Parks Department don't end with Davila's resignation.
"It's not her fault this happened. They need to get rid of all the mafiosos who run this city for their own personal gain," said Moreno, who works 20 hours per week at the Jose Marti Park community center and makes $8.86 an hour.
Moreno said she plans to go before the City Commission next Thursday along with several other parks employees to talk about unfair hiring practices.
"This is just the beginning," she said. "I am tired of this."
Alfonso said he has directed Pascual to give preference to temp workers with seniority when nonentry-level jobs open up. That way, current city employees can get first dibs at the jobs before outsiders.
Also, the Parks Department was given the budget to promote 12 long-time temp workers into permanent positions. Some of these workers — who get no benefits and have no union representation — have been with the city for more than a decade, working 40 hours a week for less than $9 an hour.
"We are trying to make things better," Alfonso said.
Commissioner Francis Suarez said he will add an item to next week's agenda about the city's hiring practices of both part-time and temp workers.
He also wants to discuss the city's so-called living wage ordinance, which was approved several years ago but has never gone into effect. During last week's meeting, commissioners voted to suspend the ordinance for one more year.

We are hoping to make the Getting to Know Hamilton series a regular semi-annual event that will be filled with fun and intriguing facts about the place we think we know so well.
It was a dark and rainy night…
And, about 25 people followed courageous Wayne Gentile, Assistant Director, Campus Safety, around campus as he shared haunting stories experienced by himself and co-workers who either work or have worked on the night shift.
The Staff Assembly Council and the Employee Environment and Professional Development committee sponsored the ghost walk that lasted about 90 minutes. Gentile and his followers (which included a TV crew from YNN, Channel 10), toured through Molly Root House, the Communications and Development building, Elihu Root House, Couper Hall, Buttrick Hall and Minor Theatre.
Gentile has done many tours of this type, often much later at night and usually with much smaller groups. He told the group that safety officers have had many unexplained experiences. He also said that sometimes during the tours nothing unusual happens, but other times strange things do happen, along with an occasional unnerving noise.
His stories included how campus safety officers have heard unexplained footsteps in some buildings, have seen "ghostly" figures passing by windows, difficulties with lights either coming on by themselves, or not coming on when turned on and occasional voices when no one is in the building.
The group toured attics and basements in the dark, and several members had cell phones with an app (ghost radar) that detects paranormal activity (ghosts, spirits and energies), revealing the presence of unexplained phenomenon.
The dark night, drizzly rain and full moon added to the excitement of the tour.

Beat the Market With This Stock
Eshna is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
SodaStream's (NASDAQ: SODA) story has always been appealing. But the fact that the stock avoided most of the volatility of the last few days is clear indication of the strong positive sentiment surrounding the company.
The stock had seen some fast action in the first part of the month as the Israeli press reported speculations about possible buyouts from both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. However, the former has refused to comment while the latter has denied the rumors.
Irrespective of whether a buyout happens or does not, SodaStream has fantastic prospects, which should be very attractive to long-term investors.
Compelling growth numbers
Between 2009 and 2012, SodaStream has more than tripled its revenue, growing at a CAGR of 47%, while net income surged at a CAGR of 71%.
During this period, the company has expanded its global reach to 45 countries and some 60,000 retail stores across the globe. It has made the US its single largest market, with SodaStream products sold in over 15,000 stores.
It has also struck co-branding deals with reputable companies for bringing new flavors into the market. These include alliances with Ocean Spray, EBoost, Kraft, Breville, and Campbell's. SodaStream offers around 160 flavor syrups.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR), which makes single serve coffee brewers and has a similar business model to SodaStream, has already shown the benefits of strategic partnerships. It has alliances with big companies like Starbucks and Unilever for selling the former's coffee flavors and the latter's tea flavors for its K-cups and Vue-packs.
But this is just the icing on the cake. Green Mountain has similar agreements with 30 more brands. Analysts are expecting 12.8% revenue growth this year and another 12% next year.
Biggest growth driver
But for SodaStream (and also Green Mountain) maximum growth comes from its business model, which replicates that followed by Gillette and the likes. This razor/razor blade model implies that once the company sells a soda machine, it automatically triggers sales of CO2 refills and flavors.
This is corroborated by the fact that the growth rate of flavor syrups has outpaced that of soda machines. Between 2009 and 2012, unit sales of soda machines have grown at a CAGR of 49% while that of flavor syrups have grown at a CAGR of 57%.
This phenomenon will get more pronounced as markets mature. Between 2011 and 2012, soda machine sales increased by 29% while flavor sales grew 49%. And it helps that margins on consumables are much higher than that in base soda machines.
Ambitious goal
Now, SodaStream has announced its big target of reaching $1 billion in revenue by 2016. Given that it generated $436 million last year, the objective at first glance may look a little hard to achieve. But if we look at the underlying assumptions we can safely conclude that the company will get there.
SodaStream has factored in a CAGR of 23%, which looks very achievable given that the company is still in its early stages of growth and yet to tap big opportunities. The push will come from more penetration and brand awareness across the globe. The two recent partnerships with Samsung and Whirlpool (NYSE: WHR) are also prospective.
Untapped markets
SodaStream aims to have a 10% household penetration in all its operating markets. Although it has double-digit rates in some countries like Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, and Israel, its average penetration rate is still 2%. Even in its largest market, the US, it has a presence in just 1% of households.
According to Euromonitor, in 2012 about 251 billion liters of carbonated soft drinks and 31 billion liters of sparkling water were consumed. In these two categories SodaStream's share of the market was just 0.2% and 2% respectively. This leaves vast territories to be explored and developed.
Brand building
The company is building its brand awareness by positioning it as a preferred choice of upscale departmental stores like Macy's, Harrods, etc. It is creating a stylish and innovative product range through partnership with leading designers like Yves Behar. And it has already produced an avalanche of flavors.
It also has some smart tricks up its sleeve, like the counter on its website that is eternally counting the number of wasteful bottles being used across the world.
Powered by SodaStream
SodaStream has struck two deals in a row with Samsung and Whirlpool. The first one involves an inbuilt carbonation system in premium Samsung RF31FMESBSR four-door refrigerators. The other one involves jointly developing soda machines for Whirlpool's KitchenAid brand. In both cases "powered by SodaStream" will be printed on the packaging.
Samsung and Whirlpool are huge names in the home appliance world, and a tie-up with them provides SodaStream with immediate access to millions of households across the world. This would mean promotions on a scale that would have been impossible otherwise.
The deals would help the cause of the two partner companies as well. Samsung has priced this refrigerator at $3,900. A similar French-door refrigerator without the SodaStream novelty is priced at $3,000.
Whirlpool would also see some incremental gains from this new offering. Whirlpool is a mature company and revenue gains are difficult to come by. In fact, in the first quarter the company had reported a 2.3% decline in revenue to $4.2 billion. So, any extra sales would be welcome.
KitchenAid has so far been content with mostly toasters, mixers, juicers, and other conventional products. The soda-maker could be a good novelty in its product line.
Last word
SodaStream has just started growing and should do so by leaps and bounds over the coming years. Its excellent management, great strategies, and most of all good products make it a compelling investment option. If any of the soda giants acquire it, it's going to be a big opportunity for investors, and if they don't investors have nothing to lose, only to gain.
With Green Mountain as cheap as it's ever been, many investors are wondering whether this is the end of the former market darling, or the perfect entry point for an enormous rebound.

Comment: Re:Powershell (Score 1) 729
Now, of course most compilers warn you when you do that...
Absolutely. The situation is not sustainable.
Even worse, because every SOC is a haphazard pile of random and arbitrarily buggy peripherals, there is no deterministic way (at run time) to enumerate all of the peripherals, and thus which various driver variants (and even worse, binary blobs) are required to make them work.
So by definition, none of this can EVER go into the mainline. Every kernel fork is its own disconnected universe, dedicated to a single snapshot of a single SOC and its particular collection of peripherals.
But if you try to explain this to a PHB (or, say TI), you'll get nothing but blank stares. There is nobody home.
The reason embedded device kernels never get updated is because the source code for them is on some SOC vendor's way out there fork of some ancient kernel that nobody with a clue actively develops for anymore.
And the vendor (say, TI) had hired a bunch of clueless interns to write the "BSP"s (old acronym from the binary blob obsessed asshats at vxworks et al) for their SOCs and the cluster of shoddily designed peripherals crowbarred into the SOC.
And those interns wrote code so toxic and broken that no sane kernel developer would ever have accept any of their garbage into any mainline kernel tree.
So there are all these embedded devices out there with kernels from the 90s, and it would take time (and expertise) that none of the vendors have (including the SOC suppliers, like TI) to merge the changes into something even remotely contemporary.
All of this because the requirements for these embedded projects (dictated by clueless PHBs) is only "linux support" not "mainline kernel support", so SOC vendors (like TI) just don't have the incentive to develop SOC peripheral driver code suitable for mainline inclusion.
You don't have to be intelligent/reasonable to control intelligent/reasonable people, you just have to convince them that you are. You can go on being a clueless dipshit in all other respects.
Because if you aren't incompetent, you won't get yelled at.
Unlike a corporate structure, where you don't get yelled if you play the game right.
If you are incompetent, please don't develop linux kernel code. Go work for a corporation.You'll find you're a better fit, and if you play your cards right, you won't get yelled at no matter how bad you are at your job.

Exactly. Especially since you can get a "real" cert from one of many, many, free cert signing services. What is the point?
FEC algorithms do not treat (an unknown number) of lost bits as a stream of 0 bits, since it can't know how many bits are lost.
FEC generally does not seek to recover lost data, only the proper state of flipped bits.

Daniel Sterling received (and still receives) death threats. Does that mean he's right, and all of his critics are crazy?

NEW YORK (AP) — Victoria Azarenka needed to win the second set twice. She had plenty left to pull away for a three-set victory at the U.S. Open.
The second-seeded Azarenka took 2 hours, 40 minutes to win 6-7 (2), 6-3, 6-2 against Alize Cornet in the third round Saturday.
Serving on game point at 5-3 in the second, she pumped her fist and started walking off the court after the 26th-seeded Cornet hit a backhand into the net. The chair umpire had to get her attention to inform her that the line judge had called Azarenka's previous shot out — replays showed it landed a good inch inside the baseline. The umpire overruled the call, but they still had to replay the point.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Azarenka howled to the chair ump. "What the hell are you doing?"
On her second try at set point, Azarenka hit a forehand wide to send the game to deuce. But she won the next two points to clinch the game and the set, after all.
Then she dominated the third set to advance to face 13th-seeded Ana Ivanovic, who rallied to beat young American Christina McHale in three sets.
Even with McHale's tough loss, it's still been a promising tournament for the generation of U.S. women who must succeed the Williams sisters.
Serena Williams gets a much-anticipated rematch with 20-year-old Sloane Stephens on Sunday. They're joined in the round of 16 by a less expected American, wild card Alison Riske.
Maybe's Riske's run isn't that much of a surprise considering her recent surge. The 23-year-old Pittsburgh native came into the summer having never accomplished any of these feats: winning a match in a Grand Slam tournament, at a WTA Tour event on hard courts, or against a top-10 foe.
She's now achieved all that, her latest breakthrough victory a rout of 2011 Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova. Riske won 6-3, 6-0, taking the last eight games against the seventh-seeded Czech, who was in bed with a fever the day before.
"I've got a new confidence in myself," the 81st-ranked Riske said through tears in an on-court interview. "I believe that I belong here."
McHale was one game away from matching Riske in upsetting a former major champion to reach her first Grand Slam fourth round. The 21-year-old had a chance to serve out the match at 5-4 in the second set, but Ivanovic broke back.
The 2008 French Open champ then saved two break points at 5-5, and she broke McHale's serve in the next game to clinch the second set.
Ivanovic broke McHale again in the final game of the third set for a 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 victory in 2 hours, 26 minutes.
McHale has been ranked as high as 24th, but she'd slipped to No. 114 after a bout with mononucleosis.
"After some of the losses I've had this year, even though today it hurts to lose this type of close match, I feel much better about my game," she said.
Riske was 0-5 at major tournaments before Wimbledon this year but is 5-1 since. She just broke into the top 100 in late July; now Riske will likely earn a top-60 ranking.
"It's really tough out here," she said. "Every week isn't like this."
She has always thrived on grass, making the third round at Wimbledon this year. Now she's starting to figure out the hard courts.
Kvitova said she tried to end points quickly, knowing she couldn't hold up through long rallies. But Riske stayed calm and played good defense, taking advantage of Kvitova's seven double-faults and 27 unforced errors.
"She moved quite well," Kvitova said. "She pushed me to the back. That was tough for me."
It's another frustrating finish at Flushing Meadows, the only major tournament at which Kvitova hasn't made the semifinals. Two years ago, she became the first reigning Wimbledon women's champion to lose her first U.S. Open match in the same season.
"My body wouldn't let me fight," Kvitova said.
Riske was all set to play for Vanderbilt in 2009 when a family friend who owns a chemical company offered to sponsor her. So she turned pro.
A year ago at this time, she was questioning the wisdom of that decision. Then she rejoined coach Yves Boulais.
"Once I got back with him, things kind of unfolded themselves," Riske said. "I felt really comfortable. I knew that with the tennis I was playing that things were going to start coming together. I just didn't know when."
Saturday's session opened with two minor upsets: Simona Halep, seeded 21st, crushed No. 14 Maria Kirilenko 6-1, 6-0, and Flavia Pennetta beat 27th-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova 7-5, 6-1.
The 21-year-old Halep extended a sizzling summer with her first trip to a Grand Slam fourth round. She's coming off a title at New Haven.
On the men's side, fourth-seeded David Ferrer needed nearly three hours to down 172nd-ranked qualifier Mikhail Kukushkin 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. No. 10-seeded Milos Raonic beat 23rd-seeded Feliciano Lopez 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

Next: Setting Hooks, Up: Hooks
In this section, we document the
run-hooks function, which is
used to run a normal hook. We also document the functions for running
various kinds of abnormal hooks.
This function takes one or more normal hook variable names as arguments, and runs each hook in turn. Each argument should be a symbol that is a normal hook variable. These arguments are processed in the order specified.
If a hook variable has a non-
nilvalue, that value should be a list of functions.
run-hookscalls all the functions, one by one, with no arguments.
The hook variable's value can also be a single function—either a lambda expression or a symbol with a function definition—which
run-hookscalls. But this usage is obsolete.
If the hook variable is buffer-local, the buffer-local variable will be used instead of the global variable. However, if the buffer-local variable contains the element
t, the global hook variable will be run as well.
This function runs an abnormal hook by calling all the hook functions in hook, passing each one the arguments args.
This function runs an abnormal hook by calling each hook function in turn, stopping if one of them "fails" by returning
nil. Each hook function is passed the arguments args. If this function stops because one of the hook functions fails, it returns
nil; otherwise it returns a non-
This function runs an abnormal hook by calling each hook function, stopping if one of them "succeeds" by returning a non-
nilvalue. Each hook function is passed the arguments args. If this function stops because one of the hook functions returns a non-
nilvalue, it returns that value; otherwise it returns
This macro runs the abnormal hook
hookas a series of nested "wrapper functions" around the body forms. The effect is similar to nested
aroundadvices (see Around-Advice).
Each hook function should accept an argument list consisting of a function fun, followed by the additional arguments listed in args. The first hook function is passed a function fun that, if it is called with arguments args, performs body (i.e., the default operation). The fun passed to each successive hook function is constructed from all the preceding hook functions (and body); if this fun is called with arguments args, it does what the
with-wrapper-hookcall would if the preceding hook functions were the only ones in hook.
Each hook function may call its fun argument as many times as it wishes, including never. In that case, such a hook function acts to replace the default definition altogether, and any preceding hook functions. Of course, a subsequent hook function may do the same thing.
Each hook function definition is used to construct the fun passed to the next hook function in hook, if any. The last or "outermost" fun is called once to produce the overall effect.
When might you want to use a wrapper hook? The function
filter-buffer-substringillustrates a common case. There is a basic functionality, performed by body—in this case, to extract a buffer-substring. Then any number of hook functions can act in sequence to modify that string, before returning the final result. A wrapper-hook also allows for a hook function to completely replace the default definition (by not calling fun).
This function is similar to
run-hook-with-args-until-success. Like that function, it runs the functions on the abnormal hook
hook, stopping at the first one that returns non-
nil. Instead of calling the hook functions directly, though, it actually calls
wrap-functionwith arguments

Will Hamlin Interview, 1995
Will Hamlin Interview, 1995
Goddard Videos
Will Hamlin taught at Goddard from 1948 to 2001. He cared deeply about literature, art, education and the natural world, and served Goddard for fifty years in his renaissance fashion. He was passionate about education and the philosophy of education. Versed in Dewey, Kilpatrick and other luminaries of the progressive education movement, he worked to realize their ideas at Goddard with the students he mentored and taught, as well as other faculty and staff. For decades, he worked as the College's editor, writing and editing the catalogue, the Goddard Bulletin, and other publications. Will loved language, and tended to its details and precise usage. He crafted the ideas of Tim Pitkin and his other colleagues into articulate prose that represented their vision in the larger world. When focus at the College sometimes drifted from the ideals of progressive education, Will reminded his colleagues and students – sometimes none too gently – of the importance of Goddard's mission, and its stewardship of larger principles. We are grateful for his lasting contributions to the College. Will passed away on August 4th, 2009.

Bavaria meets the Caribbean! Bob Marley's and Peter Tosh's musical successors are feted at the Chiemsee Reggae Summer (CRS) in Übersee, south of Lake Chiemsee, one of the region's most beautiful spots. Every August visitors here can chill out Caribbean style, enjoy the laid-back vibe and hear wonderful music at one of the biggest reggae festivals anywhere in Europe.
Even the warm-up event the night before is a hit, with the Chiemsee reggae cruise – a cross between a floating disco, a party ship and a music steamboat – gliding around the lake. This tradition, begun in 2005, marks the official start of a festival that has evolved from modest beginnings in 1995 to the prestigious outdoor music event it is today. It has grown from one day to two and now three, and from one stage to two and now three, plus the Open Decks for upcoming young talents. In 2008 the Chiemsee Reggae Summer spawned the two-day Chiemsee Rocks festival, which takes place immediately beforehand and offers heavier sounds and some great performances by headliners such as Foo Fighters, Die Toten Hosen and Deichkind. Other CRS highlights are a massive campsite for up to 15,000 festival-goers and a barbecue area of over 600 square metres where hungry music fans can cook dinner in a Caribbean atmosphere. There's a butcher's shop close by for fresh, reasonably priced steaks, sausages and fish, and vegetarian barbecue areas for those who prefer to grill potatoes and vegetables.

Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was a Boston-born poet, short-story writer and a critic. Poe's parents died before he was three, and he was raised by an uncle and aunt. He published "Tamerlane and Other Poems" at 18, then became a magazine editor and writer in several eastern cities, contributing poems, stories and literary criticism. His vivid, surrealistic, often macabre tales, such as "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Cask of Amontillado," were complemented by detective stories ("Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Purloined Letter"), a genre he invented. His poem "The Raven" (1845) made him famous. He died after a drinking spree in Baltimore while en route to his second wedding. — From "The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge"
Highlights from the Archives
The Poe House, And Its Mask Of Red Bricks
It was a pact that Edgar Allan Poe himself might have relished. The little red house at 85 West Third Street, where Poe lived in 1844 and 1845, would be ripped from its foundation, and its facade skinned off and rebuilt inside a coffin of new bricks.October 19, 2003 nyregionNews
Fear! Dread! Torment! Why Poe's Fans Are Obsessive
As surely as ravens speak English and perch indoors, the reader of an Edgar Allan Poe poem or story may expect to encounter characters in the grip of extreme experience. Murder is common, as is madness, and life itself at times can seem a horror. All this makes him a classic American writer, according to the novelist E. L. Doctorow, who said ''Poe is one of the writers who make us who we are.''February 18, 2001 booksNews
Underestimate Poe's Legacy? Nevermore
Reviewing the life and career of Edgar Allan Poe can be a hall-of-mirrors-like experience. There are as many Poes, it seems, as there are people to make, calumniate and rehabilitate his reputation, with some observers doing double duty as both foe and friend.March 19, 1999 artsNews
Beyond the Pale with Edgar Allan Poe
Anyone aware of the difficulties of Edgar Allan Poe's life must wish to see his reputation prosper. Yet he alone among the Immortals calls up the sort of smirk otherwise reserved for writers who are not only living but also local. Anyone who confesses an admiration for Poe learns quickly that he is not respectable, because he set out to create powerful responses in his readers by methods already conventional when he used them.February 8, 1987 artsNews

Imagine Health is filming in Harlem! In partnership with the NYU Emergency Medical Department and the NIH, we're working with a series of popular barber shops to connect with African American males and better understand their thoughts on organ donation in America. We'll develop a series of intimate short documentary films that aim to spark African American males to engage with the healthcare system, help raise donor rates and ultimately improve matching statistics for African Americans on the waiting list for organs. The films will be shown in DMVs nation-wide alongside a substantial online campaign and partnerships with organ donor networks around the country.
Harlem is home to some of the country's most loved barbers and their shops. We are working with Denny Moes Superstar Barbershop, ShoNuff Barbershop in Central Harlem and Jay's. We have a team there a couple times a week until Fall. Come visit!

West Jordan • It's hard to label a region game in January as a "must-win," but Jordan's visit Friday to West Jordan was as close as it gets — for both Region 3 teams.
The host Jaguars used a stifling interior defense and timely baskets from Brent Beales and Spencer Nisson to beat Jordan 48-36 and avoid an 0-3 start in league play.
Boys' basketball West Jordan 48,Jordan 36
O Brent Beales (17 points) and Spencer Nisson (16) dominate the interior for West Jordan.
» Jordan scores just three points in the second quarter, then misses 11 consecutive shots in the second half.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"We were in a slump the past few games," said Nisson, who scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half. "I feel like we will be a little more confident after tonight. It gives us a little bit of life."
West Jordan (8-8, 1-2) employed a mix of zone defenses early, then used its height advantage in man-to-man to push the Beetdiggers (8-8, 0-3) farther and farther from the basket.
Jordan hurt itself with a slew of turnovers — including five traveling violations in the second quarter — and went long periods without a basket in each half. The Beetdiggers, who lost their fourth in a row, missed eight consecutive shots before halftime and managed just three points in the second quarter.
They went nearly 10 minutes without a basket in the second half as West Jordan jumped ahead by double figures and never was threatened again.
"With only a 10-game season, it's a sprint — every game is pretty big — and we had gotten off to a rough start," said West Jordan coach Scott Briggs, whose team snapped a four-game losing streak. "We'll take the win, but we don't think we were great tonight. It's nice to be on the winning side of the scoreboard despite the mistakes we made."
Beales, a 6-foot-6 center, had three inches on his tallest defender, and used that advantage to score a game-high 17 points — 12 in the paint.
Twenty-four of Jordan's points came via the 3-pointer, and the Beetdiggers made just five baskets inside the arc.
"Our defensive idea is that we keep them on the outside and shoot hard shots with a hand in their face," Nisson said. "If we defend and rebound, we win possessions, and our offense gets better and we rally from there."

South Florida's healthcare industry accounted for 60 percent of the region's economic recovery since the recession began.
That's one startling conclusion from some local economic data released Friday morning.
The new estimates of economic output show 2011 was a feeble year for the region's $263 billion economy, with overall output still down 7 percent from 2007 in real dollars — that is, when adjusting for inflation.
What's holding the economy back? Housing values, of course. Lower real estate values cut into how the Bureau of Economic Analysis calculates economic output tied to living expenses, and the real estate category — which includes all rents paid in the region — plunged 5 percent in 2011 and is down 11 percent since 2007.
In all, the real estate and construction sectors account for about 60 percent of South Florida's lost economic output since 2007 — taking about $11 billion out of the economy in that stretch of time. That's the equivalent of closing every single hotel, restaurant and bar for one year, according to the federal statistics.
Meanwhile, healthcare finished 2011 as the only sector in South Florida's economy to continue growing each year throughout the 2007-09 recession and recovery. It's up 10 percent since 2007. The problem: steady growth by healthcare couldn't compete with a depression in the housing industry. Healthcare only added about $1.5 billion into the economy during the recession, or about a dime for every dollar lost on housing.
Of course, 2012 was a strong year for real estate, so these calculations are a bit dated. And comparing one year with another only gives a partial picture of what happened during those turbulent years of financial crisis and economic rebound. Still, the new data show the ongoing legacy of South Florida's housing crash and the crucial role healthcare spending plays in the economy.
But with medical spending and insurance reimbursements under pressure in Washington and in hospitals across the country, healthcare may not be the economic-growth engine it was once was. For the first time, healthcare is now losing jobs in Miami-Dade, Florida's largest local economy.
Overall, Friday's report was fairly weak for South Florida, a region that stretches from Miami-Dade to Palm Beach.
South Florida's economy has been growing since 2010, though 2011 saw the expansion cut in half to less than 1 percent. South Florida's .7 percent growth is about half the national average in 2011 of 1.6 percent for the nation's metropolitan areas.
The Miami Herald's Economic Time Machine blog seeks to put South Florida's recovery into historical perspective. We try to take the long view on economic stats. For analysis of the latest economic news, visit miamiherald.com/economic-time-machine and look for our weekly chart on Page 3 of Business Monday.

A Michigan man accused of criminal sexual conduct with a teenage girl was back in front of a judge Friday for a preliminary hearing.
Daniel Pitts, 33, faces 10 charges.
Dundee police arrested Pitts a week ago. Investigators say the crimes happened during late December with the same girl.
In court Friday, Pitts waved his preliminary exam and elected to go to circuit court Jan. 30.
He is still being held on a $200,000 bond and faces life in prison if found guilty.

Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit review
Remember when platformers weren't all trying to be arty metaphors for life, loss and all that other fancy crap? If you find a metaphor in Hell Yeah's relentless assault on your eyes and sanity, it's only because it's about to get dropkicked by an angry demon rabbit riding a giant spinning death blade with a jetpack on the back.
This is one of those games where the design process didn't involve whiteboards and long discussions, but some chemist's secret stash being ground up and dripped into the artists' eyeballs. You're Ash, disgraced rabbit prince of Hell, on a quest to kill 100 wacky monsters who saw paparazzi photos of you playing with a rubber duckie in the bath. That's as sane as Hell Yeah! ever gets. It's a game where firing shark missiles is all in a day's work.
Getting to your enemies is relatively standard platform fare, with the twist that you can often drill through obstacles, boost jump around the place, and acquire different weapons. Actually killing your foes, however, involves playing Warioware-style microgames such as stealing honey from a suspicious bee to unleash an appropriate fatality move, which might be having a dinosaur bite their head off for you.
It's the chaos of Earthworm Jim in the levels of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, with a little Ren and Stimpy/Invader Zim (delete according to age) thrown in for good measure. Gags and minigames repeat more than they should, but still survive the repetition of gags and minigames repeating more than they should, which both gags and minigames do.
The action itself, while enjoyable, soon lets things down. While Hell Yeah! is a fantastic looking game, it's one that paid more attention to looking good than playing great. There's so much going on most of the time that it's often hard to take in and get a proper read on the levels and what's going to hurt if you run straight into it.
More routinely irritating are the controls, where double-jumps, skids and simply being knocked back by enemies will often frustrate you. You want an Xbox 360 controller for this one. You could play it with a keyboard, but only in the same sense that technically you could fly if you flapped your arms hard enough. Either way, prepare for unhelpful checkpoints, and the irritations of repeated cutscenes and similar hold-ups soon being promoted to fully-fledged annoyances. They take the shine off the chaos rather than the fun out of it, however, and you soon return to the forward momentum Hell Yeah! needs.
The game's obvious enthusiasm carries it over these bumps in the road, and if you can forgive, you can easily forget in the race for the next bit of insanity. Hell Yeah! is no platforming classic, but it's cheap enough to be worth a punt if you like the idea of its craziness, and crazy enough to get your money's worth long before the end.
Gory, beautiful chaos, if a little frustratingly rough behind the scenes. A good afternoon's chaos, and that's what matters.

and because i'm starting to get a little saucy here are some horror movie recommendations from the vaults of netflix
black ghost/white ghost: two short films that take place in the universe of ju-on: the grudge. directed and written by the ju-on guy. both are good. the second one is fucking horrifying and it ends on an even more horrifying note
3 extremes: three japanese horror shorts. one is about dumplings (if you've seen Dumplings the full-length movie you can skip this one), on is about a psychopathic movie extra and the last one broke my mind in two and took a piss into my soul. it is FUCKING. BRUTAL. highly recommend.
yellowbrickroad: lovecraftian psychological horror with a super cool ending that just goes off the rails dumb in the last four minutes. ruinous but not bad enough to wreck the rest of the film, which is genuinely very awesome. the monster is a old hiking trail.
dawning: lovecraftian psychological horror that starts slow, picks up super hard and once again ends on an ambiguous, slightly meh note. still a very fun watch. the monster is never fully explained. we're not even sure if there is one.

New Legion commander saw action in three wars
Seventy-odd years ago Johnny Gregerson used to dip Barbara Cheatly's long brunette curls into the inkwell on his desk at Monroe Central Grade School.
Twelve years ago the couple met again when the school held a reunion. Both had lost their spouses."That's Johnny Gregerson," Barbara remembers a friend saying at the time, "and we're still together."
In between, Gregerson had a 30-year career in the Marine Corps, enlisting as a private during his senior year at Everett High School and retiring in 1970 as a full colonel.
Last summer he was elected to be commander of Peace Arch Post 86 of the American Legion and will lead the group in Veteran's Day ceremonies at their Blaine Road facility, "I grew up on a stump ranch outside Monroe," said Gregerson, the fourth of 10 children, "but in 1944, when I was a senior, we were all gung-ho to get into the war." This was only 18 months after the Battle of Midway and well before D-Day in Europe, and the outcome of the war was by no means assured.
As it turned out, Gregerson was still in training in Hawaii the day that the atom bomb was dropped on Japan. "It was over, and we were relieved," he said, "because had we not done that, we would have had to fight all the way to Japan, and would have lost a million men, maybe more. We lost 1,000 men in just two days on Iwo Jima alone."
Gregerson returned to the U.S., entered the Marine reserve and went to college in Everett before re-enlisting early in the Korean conflict. He advanced to tech sergeant and worked on triple-A (anti-aircraft artillery) 90 mm guns, then was commissioned in 1952, becoming a "mustang," or enlisted man who is commissioned as an officer.
In Vietnam Gregerson was commanding officer of Marine Air Support squadron 3, part of the first Marine Aircraft Wing operating out of Da Nang, Khe San and Chu Lai, and later went to Japan as commanding officer of Marine Air Control Group 18. He retired in 1975 on what he called his "worst day in the Marine Corps – the day I left."
and his first wife, Shirlee, had two children, a daughter
Jackie and a son Eric, both of whom live in San Diego.
Shirlee died in 1990.
Barbara worked at the state and national level in alcoholism research and treatment.
She began volunteering with the Whatcom County Council on Alcoholism in Bellingham. In 1972, she became the executive director of the Washington State Council on Alcoholism, a state organization that lobbied for alcohol abuse treatment facilities.
A few years later, she was
recognized by former president Ronald Reagan who appointed
Gregerson – then known
as Barbara Starr – to the National Institute
on Alcohol and Alcohol Abuse Advisory Board.
She also spent more than 15 years working with the National Council on Alcoholism, of which she was elected to the board in the mid-1970s, and to president in 1990. She was the first woman to serve as president of the organization.
She went on to sit on the prestigious National Council on Alcoholism and Alcohol Treatment, a body responsible for disbursing federal research grants.
Both now 80, they said they remembered their grade school days as if they were yesterday, and their teacher "Miss Muller, who had this amazingly huge ... well, backside, that she wiggled like this while she wrote on the blackboard," Gregerson said, and laughed, adding that "All in all, it's been a pretty nice 80 years."

Wellness Programs Target More Than Weight Loss
by Stephanie Yamkovenko
When a 2006 study found people with schizophrenia die an average of 25 years younger than the general population,
it was a "huge wake-up call for mental health providers," said Catana Brown, Ph.D., OTR/L. "We were seeing people in their 30s die of heart disease. It was just really shocking."
People with mental health conditions are at risk of premature death from untreated chronic illnesses like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, forty-two percent of adults with mental health disorders are obese.
Dr. Brown's wellness initiative for people with mental health conditions was one of the 20-plus programs reviewed by SAMHSA last February. The programs used lifestyle interventions to reduce obesity and improve overall fitness.
SAMHSA's review found lifestyle modifications could help people with mental illness lose weight, but not all efforts were successful. They identified programs that had better results, including those that lasted more than 3 months, combined education and activity, and incorporated nutrition and exercise.
An Occupational Therapy-Based Health Promotion Program
Occupational therapy (OT) can assist people with weight loss and promote healthy, rewarding activities. "We help people engage in [their] everyday lives, and really encourage them to explore all of the things they might do on a regular basis to improve their overall state of wellness," said Virginia Stoffel, Ph.D., O.T., BCMH, FAOTA, Vice President of the American Occupational Therapy Association.
Dr. Brown's 2006 study had all of the components for success. "Some of the things we thought made it unique were that it addressed both exercise and nutrition," she said. "It was also one of the few research studies that targeted people who were living in the community." Despite the difficulties of not being able to control diet and activity, Dr. Brown and her colleagues felt it would be more realistic to help people within their communities.
The program encouraged goal setting and accounted for more than just social support. For example, consideration was given to the tools people with mental health conditions and limited resources might need, like low-cost cooking supplies and healthy, affordable groceries.
Participants attended weekly group meetings and set nutrition and physical activity goals. During each session, they discussed new objectives and participated in activities to help them stick to their plans. For example, when group members learned how to use a fast food nutrition guide, they practiced ordering and eating healthy meals at a fast food restaurant. At the end of the program, participants had lost an average of six pounds and had a significant reduction in waist circumference.
The Wellness Model
OT practitioners are guided by the wellness model, which supports positive choices for a more satisfying lifestyle, said Margaret Swarbrick, Ph.D., OTR, CPRP.
The U.S. health care system has a wellness model and a medical model. The medical model focuses on "fixing people" by reducing symptoms, but the wellness model is more comprehensive. It embraces eight fundamental dimensions for achieving a higher quality of life: physical, spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional, occupational, environmental, and financial.
"The medical model is the prevailing model," said Dr. Swarbrick, "but an important role for OT is to keep them both in balance."
Occupational Therapy in the Wellness Model
OT practitioners use the wellness model to focus on prevention, advance recovery, and create health promotion programs. But because OT is not as well recognized in mental health services as it could be, some practitioners still face challenges. "This is why we're sponsoring a bill in Congress and held a
congressional briefing
about the role of OT in mental health," said Dr. Stoffel. "My hope is that the bill and advocacy will open doors."
Despite the challenges, Dr. Brown said the obesity epidemic for people with mental health disorders has created enough widespread concern to shake up treatment centers throughout the U.S. As a result, many organizations are developing and administering new weight loss and wellness programs.

Conference Will Promote Mental Health Recovery
Mental health advocates will convene in South Florida this month at "Mental Health Transformation in Action," a conference hosted by the
Eleventh Judicial Circuit
, Florida Partners in Crisis, Florida Department of Children and Families, and Consumer Statewide Network. The conference was designed to heighten awareness about mental illness, crime, and the justice system.
Training sessions and motivational speakers have been scheduled for the May 15 event, which by and large aims to keep those suffering from mental illness out of jail by providing proper care and community support.
The Crisis Intervention Training session will focus on suicide prevention—a pressing issue for law enforcement officers, who have more reported deaths from suicide than those killed in the line of duty. The session will help officers recognize and address signs of mental illness.
The event will be held at the Jungle Island Treetop Ballroom in Miami, Florida.

May Is Mental Health Month
With more than 240 affiliates nationwide, Mental Health America (MHA) represents growing interest in the U.S. to help people live mentally healthier lives every day and in times of crisis.
MHA began celebrating "Mental Health Month" more than 60 years ago to raise awareness about certain conditions, treatment services, and recovery. This May, two important themes have emerged in their outreach efforts:
Do More for 1 in 4
is a call to arms to support Americans who live with a diagnosable, treatable mental health condition.
Healing Trauma's Invisible Wounds
focuses on the impact and aftermath of trauma and the recovery process for trauma victims.

By Alastair Jamieson and Tracy Connor, NBC News
Long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad made history Monday, becoming the first person to swim the 110 treacherous miles from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage – at the age of 64.Crowds of fans cheering and blowing conch shells greeted a sunburned Nyad as she approached the shoreline of Key West just before 2 p.m. with a Coast Guard escort after 53 hours in the water.It was Nyad's fifth try and she had a few strokes of luck: favorable currents and few of the poisonous jellyfish that doomed an earlier attempt, according to updates from her website and Twitter feeds.The swim was not without extreme challenges, however.Nyad was so cold on Sunday night that her handlers didn't stop to feed her, figuring she would stay warmer if she kept going.
Her tongue and lips were swollen by sun and seawater, and she had abrasions in her mouth from a special silicone mask meant to keep the jellyfish at bay.At two miles out, Nyad seemed to realize that she was on the cusp of success and she paused to thank assistants gathered on 10 boats."I am about to swim my last two miles in the ocean," she told her handlers as she closed in on Key West, according to the blog."This is a lifelong dream of mine and I'm very very glad to be with you," she added, praising her team. "So let's get going so we can have a whopping party."The Florida Straits has been conquered only once, by Australian Susie Maroney, who used a protective cage during a 1997 swim. In June, Australian Chloe McCardel abandoned an attempt after 11 hours when she was badly stung by a jellyfish.Nyad – who swam around the island of Manhattan in 1975 and a from the Bahamas to Florida in 1979 -- departed on Saturday morning and arrived a day earlier than original estimates.NBC News' Christopher Nelson, David Wyllie of BreakingNews.com and Reuters contributed to this report.

The convoy of mobile cuisine is nearing touchdown. Paella, pork baos, pancit, pizza and pad thai are coming to Saturday's SactoMoFo 6 - and those are just the foods that start with "p."
More than two dozen food trucks will be parked under the freeway at Sixth and X streets near downtown, and if previous SactoMoFo events are any indication, thousands of hungry folks will be there.
SactoMoFo 6 also includes live music and a beer garden. But the food's always the star of this show, which features mobile food vendors from Sacramento and around Northern California. Some of the San Francisco Bay Area's most popular food trucks will even be in the mix, including Koja Kitchen and The Chairman.
Going to an epic event like this requires a good strategy. Lines can be long, and the food options are many. Here's our guide to SactoMoFo 6 with some tips and other information to help make your day go down especially easy. For the full lineup of vendors, visit sactomofo.com.
5 foods worth the wait in line
1. Gameday Grill's grilled veggies: Whether you're craving some vegetarian eats, or just need something to balance all the pork belly and bacon throughout the day, this Roseville truck has earned raves for its grilled vegetables. We're also hearing good things about this truck's tri-tip and rice with chickpeas.
2. Koja Kitchen's "kamikaze fries": And you thought chili fries were a mouthful. This popular Korean-Japanese truck features a heaping order of criss-cut fries topped with Korean barbecued beef, kimchee, Japanese mayonnaise, green onions and more.
3. Bacon Mania Truck's "bacon bites": Everything goes better with bacon, including brownies. These brownies are wrapped in bacon and served on a pillow of whipped cream. Lipitor not included.
4. We Sushi's burrito: The traditional burrito takes a Japanese spin. Fish, veggies and sushi rice are topped in a special sauce and wrapped in seaweed. Think of it like an oversized handroll that's taken a spin south of the border.
5. Knucklehead Hot Dog Diner's "heart attack dog": This Roseville truck was featured on the Travel Channel's "Man v. Food" with hot dogs that are more like a meal for two. This popular hot dog includes a deep-fried pickle, cream cheese and a deep-fried wiener.
Out-of-town trucks
Hapa SF: While Sacramento is home to a sizeable Filipino population, not much is available in the way of local Filipino restaurants. This truck comes to the rescue with lumpia, adobo, pancit and more.
Koja Kitchen: "Koja" is a hybrid of "Korean" and "Japanese" foods, which includes such items as barbecued beef and "pineapple zen" sandwiches.
We Sushi: This sushi bar on wheels features lightly fried California and spicy tuna rolls, nigiri and rice dishes.
Spicy Grill: Indian and Pakistani foods are the focus of this Stockton-based truck. Menu items include curries, gyros, kabobs and basmati rice.
The Chairman: Formerly known as Chairman Bao, until the uber-popular New York City restaurateur and chef Eddie Huang trademarked the name, this mobile truck has participated in SactoMoFo since its first event in 2011. Rich and savory baos (buns stuffed with pork, duck confit, tofu and other ingredients) are the speciality here.
Roli Roti: This truck brings a rotisserie to the road with its debut SactoMoFo appearance. Plan for a variety of gourmet sandwiches, with porchetta and chicken being its signatures.
SactoMoFo Survival Guide
Bring cash: Sure, many of the mobile food vendors have swipers for your credit or debit cards but not all do. Play it safe and hit up the ATM before going to SactoMoFo. You don't want to be stuck with a big taco order but no way to pay.
Use a team strategy: Lines can get notoriously long at SactoMoFo, especially for the out-of-town trucks. Maximize your time by going to the event in a group, splitting up and placing orders at various trucks, and then have a meeting place to sample a bunch of different eats.
Bring a small cooler: Saturday's forecast calls for a high likelihood of leftovers for those who want to sample eats from numerous vendors. Instead of feeling pressured to scarf them down right away, pack them in a cooler and enjoy when you're ready for Round 2.
Pace yourself: It's so easy to go overboard with all those food trucks in front of you. But mobile food tends to be pretty rich, and eating too much in a short period of time can make your tummy feel twisted. So, take it easy ... enjoy those pork belly buns and take some time to check out the live music. Then, get back in line at another food truck and repeat until your stomach says, "No mas!"
More than two dozen Northern California food trucks descend for a celebration of mobile food; live music and beer garden.
WHEN: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: Sixth and X streets, Sacramento
HOW MUCH: Free admission; various costs for food items
PARKING: $3, or free with nonperishable food donation
