The annual airing of A Charlie Brown Christmas has become as much a part of Christmas as Santa and Rudolph.
Charlie Brown's Christmas tree, Snoopy's decorated doghouse and Linus' classic recitation on the true meaning the season have become true baby-boomer Christmas icons. Throw in Vince Guaraldi's classic soundtrack, and you have an animated special that has defined a generation.
- A Charlie Brown Christmas was not the first time the Peanuts characters were animated. In the early 1960's they appeared in a series of commercials for the Ford Motor Company.
- A Charlie Brown Christmas was conceived, written, animated and produced in only six months, and was finished only a week before the air date. The first airing, on December 9, 1965, was sponsored by Coke.
- A CBS executive who watched a preview was disappointed and declared the program, "A little flat....a little slow", and said he thought Peanuts was better suited for the comics page. Ed Levitt, an animator who worked on the show was more percipient, however, declaring "A Charlie Brown Christmas will run for a hundred years"!
- The children who sing the opening and closing songs, "Christmas Time is Here", and "Hark The Herald Angels Sing", were chosen from a children's choir at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in San Rafael, California. The songs were recorded at Fantasy Records Studio in San Francisco.
- The voice of Charlie Brown was provided by 8 year old actor Peter Robbins, who had previously appeared in over 35 television commercials, and had small roles in TV shows such as "F Troop" and "Get Smart". Robbins continued to be the voice of Charlie Brown in 5 more Peanuts specials, as well as in the first Peanuts movie. A Boy Named Charlie Brown.
- The youngest voice in the cast was that of Sally, played by 6 year old Cathy Steinberg. Because she couldn't yet read, when had to be fed her lines a few words at a time.
- Vince Guaraldi was a San Francisco jazz musician. Producer Lee Mendelson was driving across the Golden Gate Bridge when he heard one of Guaraldi's songs on the radio, and recruited him to write the music for the special.
- The "voice" of Snoopy was provided by co-producer Bill Melendez.
- The very first airing placed second in the ratings for it's week, behind Bonanza and ahead of such favorites as Red Skelton, Walt Disney and The Andy Griffith Show.
- A writer for TIME magazine loved the show, calling it "refreshing and "special". He also wrote, " A Charlie Brown Christmas, is one children's special this season that bears repeating".
- The 1965 airing won an Emmy Award for "Best Network Animated Special" and a Peabody Award for "Outstanding Children's and Youth's Program".

Mission awareness trip
Guatemala, May 16-23, 2009
Colombia, May 24-June 1, 2009
Part 1
Guatemala today
While the sponsors were enjoying a beautiful day in San Lucas Toliman with their sponsored children and aging, on May 18, 2009, an American Oblate priest was killed, and an African Oblate wounded during a highway robbery near Playa Grande, Ixcan, Guatemala. Apparently the assailants wanted the van carrying the missionaries to a regional meeting of their order, the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI). Bullets flew, leaving Father Lorenzo Rosebaugh, 74, dead, and Congolese Father Jean Claude wounded. In the confusion, assailants fled without the vehicle. Father Lorenzo had a long history of taking risks to aid the poor and marginalized. All of us here are deeply saddened by this tragedy.
Spontaneity and laughter
In spite of several alarming events, the sponsors on this trip to Guatemala encountered spontaneity and a great sense of humor among the people they met. The sponsors see and appreciate the need for the presence of CFCA in Guatemala, especially when they learn of the crude reality of a divided society.
On the final morning in San Lucas, Father John Goggin kindly celebrated the Eucharist. We remembered Father Lorenzo in a special way. In his homily, Father John stated, "The world can change, when people learn to walk with the poor."
Visiting Colombia
We had one sponsored girl and one sponsored aging person who traveled overnight (Cali-Medellin) with staff member Diana to see their sponsors in Medellin. The mother of the sponsored girl, Karen, speaks with such gratitude for the program. Karenís father was shot and killed when she was 5. Magnolia, the mother, states that thieves took his life over a motor scooter and a pair of tennis shoes.
City of the flowers
Medellin still impresses me as a very beautiful and cultural city. Coordinator Transito Hernandez informed us that there are 23 universities here. We have also been learning that Medellin now has more than 3 million people and faces serious human challenges. Only 46 percent of school-aged children are enrolled in school. After 18, the number drops to 30 percent. Those not in school are vulnerable to the many dangers of the streets. At CFCA, we are blessed with a fine central coordinating team – Transito, Martha, Monica, Luz Angela, Erika.

Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) has announced his plans to retire from Congress.
Moran, 68, said he will not seek re-election at the end of his current term, adding, "It's time to close this chapter of my life and move on to the next challenge." Moran has held his seat in the House of Representatives for more than two decades. He represents Virginia's 8th District, which includes Alexandria, Falls Church, Arlington and portions of Fairfax County.
"What has kept me motivated all these years is serving you and our community. I prepare to leave Congress feeling very fortunate, grateful for what we've accomplished, and optimistic for the future of Northern Virginia, the Washington Metropolitan Region, and our nation," Moran said.
Moran began his career as a public servant in 1979 when he ran for city council in Alexandria. Five years later, he became mayor of the northern Virginia city. Moran served as mayor until 1990, moving on to take his seat in Congress.
Moran co-founded the New Democrats in 1996 and it is now one of the largest caucuses in the House. Through the group he has been active on issues promoting a "center-left vision" for the economy.
Moran was a vocal opponent of the Iraq War.
In the run-up to the war, Moran told a community forum that "if it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this. The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going and I think they should."
Moran apologized amid complaints of anti-Semitism, and the comments helped prompt a primary challenge in 2004 from lawyer Andrew Rosenberg. Moran won the primary with 59 percent of the vote and subsequently never faced serious opposition.
In 1998, he was strongly critical of Bill Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal but ultimately voted against impeachment. In venting his anger after Clinton's admission, Moran said he told Hillary Clinton that if she had been his sister, he would have punched her husband in the nose.
Moran's career has been marked by his dedication to get funding for the military, News4's Chris Gordon reported. He played a key role in base realignment and closure and has been an advocate for environmental protection.
Moran has two sons and two daughters and is a grandfather to four. He lives in the Del Ray section of Alexandria.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe released a statement on Moran's retirement, which read, in part:
"...No one has fought harder for the men and women who serve and sacrifice in the United States Armed Forces, and for the federal employees who are so important to the economy of his district and our entire Commonwealth..."
RetireJimMoran.com, a group that's worked to force Moran's retirement, also issued a statement:
"While we would have preferred a forced retirement of Jim Moran by the voters at the polls later this year, it's quite clear that Jim Moran realized that he could not get away with his deplorable conduct as a member of Congress anymore."
Moran's announcement comes a month after Republican Rep. Frank Wolfe announced his retirement, leaving Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-11th District, as senior member of northern Virginia's delegation to Congress.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I became a gym rat for about 15 years after i had a stroke in '99. I went from 155lbs (5'10" male) to 190lbs with 9%BF over a couple of years and then took it back down to the 170's over a couple of years where I maintained for a decade or so. Three and a half years ago, I stopped working out to have hernia surgery. After 6-8 weeks of recovery, I tried but just never got back into it. Early this year, I was diagnosed with AFib, prehypertension, and a host of other heart-related stuff. I felt fine but the MDs kept finding things to give me medication for. In early June I decided to get back in the gym. I was pushing 190lbs and 30%BF.
I set a 7-day routine of weights and cardio alternating every other day. I started out with the weight days being higher rep/lower weight (12-15 rep, 3 set, 3-day split) and 30-plus minutes of treadmill for cardio. Walking changed to elliptical within a week or two and became hard rowing soon after and is my favorite cardio (for now). I progressed with weights on the 3-day split and just completed a month of a stronglift-type routine. As a gauge, my 1RM bench was 125-ish when I started and is now just shy of 250. I'm at 172 and 18%BF. My goal is 14%BF and weight, well, whatever feels good but probably around the 170 range.
I'm still in the gym every day for a minimum of 30min and never more than 60min. My current cardio routine is rowing every other day for 6km, usually with 40-50 pushups mixed in every 2km. I just started a new routine I call 'Circuit'. I'm hitting every muscle group (8rep, 5set, approx 85% 1RM) every other day. The exercises change each workout day. For example, wide grip lat pulldown Day one, narrow grip Day two, dumbbell one-arm row Day three. So, the same muscle target but a slightly different approach. I've found that I have to keep my muscles guessing otherwise I plateau pretty quickly and my form gets poor. And finally, I'm a long time keto guy - i just feel better in ketosis.
That's my story....as of today.

I'm curious about how /etc/hosts entries match works in Linux vs others *nix platform (if there is any difference).
In particular I would be interested to understand if "match time" is proportional with the amount of entries or not.
After the first match is found, does the "matching" stop? Or it uses all entries even if a match is already found?
Thank you very much

Yoga teachers and how-to books seldom mention that the discipline began as a sex cult — an omission that leaves many practitioners open to libidinal surprise... Since the baby boomers discovered yoga, the arousal, sweating, heavy breathing and states of undress that characterize yoga classes have led to predictable results. In 1995, sex between students and teachers became so prevalent that the California Yoga Teachers Association deplored it as immoral and called for high standards.Oh, the "ignorance"! And yet... it was "predictable." Hmm. Seems contradictory... and yet, this subtle combination of knowing and not knowing is typical of sexual things. And religious things.
Also in the article:
At Rutgers University, scientists are investigating how yoga and related practices can foster autoerotic bliss. It turns out that some individuals can think themselves into states of sexual ecstasy — a phenomenon known clinically as spontaneous orgasm and popularly as "thinking off."This is the future of sex: The woman, completely inside her own head and the man, over there using a computer monitor to get a look at her private parts:
The Rutgers scientists use brain scanners to measure the levels of excitement in women and compare their responses with readings from manual stimulation of the genitals. The results demonstrate that both practices light up the brain in characteristic ways and produce significant rises in blood pressure, heart rate and tolerance for pain — what turns out to be a signature of orgasm.

Prolific glass sculptor Marcelo Florencio has made a name for himself with the graceful and often whimsical glass sculptures he exhibits locally and around the country. The artist, who owns a local studio and gives lessons in glass-working, will give a demonstration of his techniques at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Art Dialogue Gallery (1 Linwood Ave.).
"My interest in glass has become my passion, and my main form of expression," Florencio, a native of Brazil, wrote in an artist statement. "I am determined to use flameworked glass as an art form that will be influential in continuing the Brazilian tradition of creating new hybrid identities by negotiating global cultural influences in innovative ways."
Florencio's appearance at the gallery coincides with its exhibition "Trilogies XXIV," a show featuring his work alongside that of painter Paul Klonowski and photographer Dennis Stierer. Klonowski's work often features expressionistic faces drawn against abstract backgrounds. Stierer's hand-developed photographs range widely in subject and result from traditional – even outdated – black-and-white photography printing techniques.
The show opens Friday and runs through July 19. Reservations for Florencio's glassblowing demonstration are required. Call 885-2251 or visit www.wnyag.com.

March 30, 2012
Farwell's Board of Education voted to extend the contracts of all their administrators for a period of one year at their regular Monday night meeting. Superintendent Carl Seiter had high praise for all the administrators – Elementary School Principal Tim Moore, Middle School Principal Catheryn Gross, High School Principal Dee Yarger, High School Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Ryan Cunningham, Business Manager Jacob Sullivan and Transportation and Physical Plant Director Rex Raymond.
"Our administrative staff – I can't be more proud of what I'm seeing and able to work with every day…I'm real proud of them and their performance they've been able to do this year in a time of added duties. We're all cutting back. Assistant Principals are gone, different positions that lended support to those administrative positions are gone. The demands today, in my opinion, far exceed what I've been accustomed to over the last 20 years. And I think all of them are growing, [and] doing a great job," Seiter said.
The other agenda item — that only occasionally comes before the Board for a vote — was the move to amend the current budget in order to purchase a new bus. With finances strained in most districts, it has been difficult for most to keep up on their scheduled rotation of purchasing busses. Farwell, according to Business Manager Sullivan, has purchased only about half the number of busses in the last seven years than their schedule had called for. The Board voted unanimously to purchase a new bus out of funds in the current budget, at an estimated cost of $80,000.
Other than those two items, the rest of the Farwell BOE meeting was the usual mix of business, information and celebrations.
Principal Yarger announced the March 2012 Students of the Month. They are: Madison Sinks, freshman; Rachel Brown, sophomore; Trevor Staley, junior; and Greg Shimmons, senior. Yarger also reported that 57 percent of graduating seniors had taken at least one dual enrollment class, and that at least 92 percent of those students enrolled in college classes will have successful completion of those classes.
Teacher Darin Mogg showed off the LEGO project that his 4th Grade LEGO team built for the recent competition in Mt. Pleasant. Principal Moore said, "In the first contest we ever competed in, Mr. Mogg's team took first place in the team build and the People's Choice Award." Mogg said the students built the project themselves, which featured a farm scene, complete with a moving windmill.
Athletic Director Cunningham announced that three Farwell wrestlers qualified for State competition on March 3rd at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Cunningham also reported that spring sports practices started last week, and he brought to the attention of the Board that two schools in the conference had raised their sports admittance fees from $4.00 to $5.00.
Principal Gross reported that Camp Farwell – the overnight camp held in the school for 30 6th Graders – was very successful. Students learned about high school opportunities, the dual enrollment program and college life. Ms. Gross also reported that enough Middle School students qualified for the All-A bus trip to a Detroit Tigers game to fill a bus and two follow vehicles.
As requested by the Board, Principal Moore gave a presentation comparing kindergarten students' achievement levels in Math and English Language Arts between the students in the Chinese Immersion program and the students in the general population. Studies show that the benefits of learning a foreign language often do not show up in test scores until 4th Grade or later. While there was some fluctuation in preliminary test scores, overall, the data supported neither a benefit nor a loss to students in Chinese Immersion. "The scores are very statistically close," Moore noted.
Superintendent Seiter reported that the Physical Plant committee met with representatives from Ameresco last Thursday night. "Ameresco went over, in detail, the entire project, reviewed every ECM – energy conservation measure – that was identified in the project as far as, once completed, would provide energy savings to the district…We also identified areas that were fixed along the way that Ameresco had uncovered that needed repair in order to achieve those ECMs. Those items that needed [to be] fixed, they spent approximately $28,000 on repairs…It boiled down to Ameresco picked up the tab on about $15,000 or $16,000 worth of these repairs in order to achieve our savings," Seiter said. Ameresco also identified several items that could be repaired or upgraded in the future that would result in additional savings. "Temperature Control [the contractor] and Ameresco just did a fantastic job, as far as we're concerned," Seiter concluded.
Liaison Officer Erica Vredevelt did a presentation to the Board about the projects she has been working on at Farwell schools, in addition to her duties as liaison officer. They included writing grants, anti-bullying programs, coordinating student ride-alongs with the Sheriff's Department, the Teen Summit, Clash for the Cure, International Walk to School Day, practicing and training for school lock-downs, and extra duties such as chaperoning school dances and maintaining Toula the dog's Facebook page.
In other business, the Farwell BOE:
*approved operational expenses for the month of February in the amount of $298,382.69.
*accepted an anonymous donation of $100 for the High School and Middle School choirs.
*approved the final reading of the NEOLA policies.
*approved a three-year technology plan, as presented.
*accepted the resignations of Denise Fletcher, custodian and former bus driver, and Jeff Keson, High School media center employee.
*went into Closed Session at 9:05 p.m. to discuss the superintendent's evaluation.

DOVER — The Portsmouth High School girls basketball team was given all it could handle in the first half Friday night against Division II rival St. Thomas Aquinas. The second half was a different story.
The Clippers came out strong in the third period and never looked back en route to a 48-36 victory.
"We had a good halftime talk and got pretty pumped," said Portsmouth junior point guard Tighe Loch. "Then we just did what we do best, which is move the ball. Shots went in for us."
Loch led the Clippers (7-2) with 15 points, including a 3-pointer early in the third that was part of a 10-2 run to open the frame., and Alicia Brown added 12.
"At halftime, all I said was I could take my clipboard and throw it away, because it doesn't matter what I draw up if they weren't going to play with intensity," Portsmouth coach Dan Parr said. "The St. Thomas kids came out with great intensity. They were half a step faster than we were — loose balls, rebounds, the whole deal."
The Saints (2-5) did well to keep things close in a fast-paced first half that featured five lead changes and was tied four times. St. Thomas led 17-15 after the first period and 24-23 at halftime. Mariah Desmarais led the Saints with 13 points.
"We just need to learn to string four quarters together, and I think we'll be OK," St. Thomas coach Sabrina Payeur said.
Trailing by a point, the Clippers went right to work to start the third quarter. Brown hit a jumper in the lane to give Portsmouth the lead, then Loch drained a 3-pointer one minute later. Loch immediately stole the St. Thomas outlet pass at midcourt and scored, giving Portsmouth a 30-24 lead and causing the Saints to call time out.
"We were giving ourselves the trouble in the first half," said Portsmouth's Devon Parker. "We weren't playing our game. They came out harder than we expected."
Keara Sullivan hit a layup for St. Thomas to stop the bleeding, but the Saints were never able to get back into the game. Christina Jones converted a 3-point play for Portsmouth to give the Clippers a 33-26 lead. Desmarais hit a 3-pointer for the Saints, who trailed 36-31 after three quarters.
"We knew they were going to come out strong," Payeur said. "We were hoping to come out as strong in the second half. But it didn't happen. We just got tired, and when we get tired, our patience goes out the window."
Portsmouth kept up the pressure in the fourth quarter, keeping the Saints scoreless for a stretch of more than six minutes. The final minutes were bogged down with free throws. The Clippers made 6 of 12 down the stretch, not a stellar conversion rate, but more than enough considering how well they were playing defensively.
The first half was a different story for the Saints. After falling behind 6-3 early, a Desmarais 3-pointer tied the game, and the rest of the quarter was a back-and-forth affair. Allie Coneys scored two baskets to close the first quarter, and St. Thomas led by two.
"We were kicking it in, passing it back up for the shot," said St. Thomas senior forward Meaghan Flynn. "They couldn't tell what we were going to do at what time. We just weren't as consistent in the second half."
Things slowed down offensively for both teams in the second quarter, but St. Thomas came out ahead on a layup by Flynn.
The teams will meet again on Feb. 19 in Portsmouth. In the meantime, both return to action on Tuesday, with Portsmouth at Milford and St. Thomas at Pelham.

Despite some drizzly weather Aug. 10, the annual Fiesta Latina returned to Dayton's Bluff, this year taking over East Seventh Street for the day.
The annual Fiesta Latina, a Dayton's Bluff festival celebrating Latino culture hosted by Comunidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio, also known as CLUES, offered food, dance and crafts on a muggy Aug. 18.
Comunidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio, also known as CLUES, celebrated the groundbreaking of an expansion of its headquarters at 797 East Seventh St. in Dayton's Bluff on Aug. 1.
Marjorie Otto/Review • Mañana Restaurant's new location more than doubles its seating — from 30 seats at the old restaurant to nearly 90 at the new spot, which includes an outdoor patio.

The conditions followed months of complaints from First Lutheran neighbors about people who use the shelter defecating, urinating, and trespassing in the neighborhood, among other issues.
Federal judge eases restrictions on church that houses it
Marjorie Otto/Review • Construction has finally started on 208 Bates Ave., a historic apartment building in Dayton's Bluff. The building was a part of the 2016 Vacant Home Tour that was organized by Dayton's Bluff neighbors to save historic buildings from being torn down.
Just over two years ago, six Dayton's Bluff homes were in the shadow of the wrecking ball.
Marjorie Otto/Review • Phoenix Market, located near the corner of Third Street and Maria Avenue in Dayton's Bluff, will soon feature a mural on the building's southern wall. The mural's creation was organized by the Urban Root's Youth Council and should be installed by the end of the month. Urban Roots' oldest garden is also located next to the neighborhood convenience store.
Urban Roots leaves its mark on the neighborhood through a series of gardens across the East Side. Soon, the organization can add murals to the list.
Marjorie Otto/Review • Metropolitan State University held a grand opening celebration May 16 for its new MN Cyber Range, which will be based in the university's Jason R. Carter Science Education Center. The cyber range, the first of its kind in Minnesota, is described as a "flight simulator for cyber attacks." Cyber security professionals will use the range to practice how to react to and stop cyber attacks. Instructors demonstrated how the training simulator works during the grand opening.

Homes with low income occupants will be hooked up to the solar garden for free, with the goal of eliminating barriers to renewable energy.
The little neighborhood of Railroad Island has become a big target when it comes to energy consumption and renewable energy.

As Listening House, a homeless day shelter in Dayton's Bluff, neighbors and the city struggle to find a balance so all can coexist, the organization filed a lawsuit against the City of St. Paul in Ramsey County District Court on April 2.

After appearing as a musical guest twice, Lady Gaga proved that she can take a joke during her "Saturday Night Live" hosting debut.
For her monologue, Lady Gaga sang a cabaret-style rendition of her single "Applause," accompanied by some jazzy choreography.
During the bit, the pop star made her way into the audience to applaud teachers and firefighters. However, she also encountered a man named Jeff (Bobby Moynihan), who takes his pants off on the subway to "wag it around."
U.S. & World
Gaga said Jeff should be ashamed of himself, to which he responded, "Oh I see when I take my pants off on the subway I'm a perv but when you do it onstage it's art."
"Okay that's fair," she said. "That's super fair. Actually, I owe you an apology."
Throughout the show, Gaga continued to make jokes about her career.
On a talkshow entitled "Waking Up With Kimye" hosted by Kanye West (Jay Pharoah) and Kim Kardashian (Nasim Pedrad), Gaga played a nerdy Apple store employee. When asked about her frumpy work outfit, she made a joke seeming to allude to old rumors that she is secretly a man.
"But honestly I don't care about fashion," Gaga said. "I think people who try too hard with their outfits are maybe hiding something."
The episode also saw a fake commercial featuring horrible covers by famous artists like Britney Spears (Noël Wells) who sang "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen and Rick Ross (Keenan Thompson) who covered "Cups (When I'm Gone)" by originally sang by actress Anna Kendrick.
Gaga appeared as herself, supposedly to cover Madonna's "Express Yourself." However she sang her single "Born This Way" instead, poking fun at the parallels some have drawn between the two hit songs.
The show opened with a sketch poking fun at Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who recently admitted to smoking crack and buying illegal drugs. In a television news segment, a Canadian reporter (Taran Killam) asked Ford (Moynihan) if he was worried about his public image.
Ford responded, "Of course I am but you know I feel like my public image is suffering because I don't have any good photos. Every time I'm in the news, you know, they show one where I'm all sweaty, or red faced, or my neck is missing."
The show then cut to footage of disastrous press conference apologies from Ford. The reporter told Ford people won't believe his apologies anymore and the mayor shot back, "Then I'm going to go on a show where people do believe me and will believe anything I say."
Ford is then shown on CBS' "60 Minutes" being interviewed by Lara Logan (Kate McKinnon), who recently had to apologize for a story about the 2012 Benghazi attack, based in part on the testimony of a man who said he was there, but whose account has since been seriously undermined by conflicting reports about his whereabouts on the night of the attack.
Logan introduced Ford as "patriot, hero, role model." She asked him "what is the truth?" and Ford denied ever doing crack, smoking weed, or using alcohol.
"I believe you," Logan said.
"Weekend Update" with Seth Meyers and Cecily Strong also targeted Mayor Ford for a joke.
"Ford this week also signed limited edition bobble head dolls of himself outside city hall," Meyers said. "Interesting fact: Bobble head is one of the side effects of smoking crack."
Kenan Thompson also joined the desk as "Mr. Senior," an elderly man who took issue with how quickly Christmas decorations appear after Halloween. The segment ended with a pretaped skit showing Thompson aggressively taking down decorations all around Rockefeller Plaza.
"SNL" also poked fun at President Barack Obama's recent troubles in a fake commercial about "Paxil: Second Term Strength," as "the only anti-depressant strong enough for an embattled second term."
The ad, featuring Obama (Jay Pharoah) says the drug can help treat a range of symptoms, "like Benghazi. The NSA scandal. The IRS scandal. The AP scandal. The Petraeus scandal. That time Jay-Z and Beyonce went to Cuba. And, of course, Obamacare website problems."
But the drug came with a disclaimer: "Warning, Paxil is not covered by Obamacare. We promised that it would be, but it's not. And for that, we apologize."
Lady Gaga performed her single "Do What U Want" (with a special appearance by R. Kelly) and her song "Gypsy."
Next week "SNL" will return with host Josh Hutcherson from "The Hunger Games" and musical guest Haim.
