The Celebrate Israel Festival on May 31 at Pier 94, slated to be the largest gathering to date of Israeli-Americans in New York.
A recent article in The Jewish Week brought to light something that has been afflicting the Orthodox community for some time now: teenage texting on Shabbos. The practice is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially but in no way exclusively, among Modern Orthodox teens.
The article quoted Rabbi Steven Burg, international director of NCSY, who maintains that teenage Shabbos texters are an open secret in their schools and social circles, operating just beyond the scope of most adults.
In fact, the practice has become so widespread that it has developed its own classification – "half Shabbos," a term designed to reaffirm a person's basic commitment to Shabbos observance other than texting.
Certainly there is no single factor responsible for this unfortunate phenomenon.
Peer acceptance and widespread participation play a definite role, as does the general enthusiasm teens have for texting. (According to Nielsen, the average U.S. teen now sends or receives an average of 2,899 text-messages per month).
For some, texting represents but one area in which their Shabbos observance is lacking.
Sadly, far too many teens no longer even see the need to keep such activity discreet. According to Miriam Shaviv, a columnist for the London Jewish Chronicle, Orthodox teens "openly discuss whether they keep 'half-Shabbos' or 'full Shabbos.' There is apparently no shame attached to this violation."
Naturally, the primary discussion among parents and educators regarding teen texting on Shabbos has focused on how best to respond to such unchartered technological challenges that confront 21st century Orthodoxy.
Many correctly advocate inculcating in our young people a stronger appreciation for the beauty of Shabbos and a deeper appreciation of what it really is all about.
Others have chosen to focus their thoughts on addressing the addictive nature of texting, and helping their charges live a meaningful social existence without being so heavily cell-phone dependent.
Without doubt these are important strategies, and will hopefully go a long way toward addressing this basic Shabbos texting problem confronting our youth.
But perhaps it is not just our youth who struggle with the concept of half Shabbos, even if texting on our holiest day is not a significant issue for the adult population. I believe we would all benefit from a closer examination of the term our children have embraced.
Certain colloquialisms have become incorporated within the communal lexicon despite the fact that they fail to capture the true essence of the subject at hand. "Ba'al teshuvah" is one such example, by virtue of the fact that the subjects of that designation generally were not doing "teshuvah" per se when they embraced observance.
"Half Shabbos," I believe, is another.
We all know there is no such thing as keeping "half" of Shabbos. Shabbos observance demands complete adherence to the many laws of the day; if one deliberately violates even one aspect, he is viewed as someone who desecrates Shabbos, plain and simple.
While I recognize that shemiras Shabbos can often be the result of a process that is achieved in stages (particularly for those who are new to mitzvah observance), it is not something one can partially "keep" for an indefinite period of time.
Nor should we be using terminology that implies Shabbos observance is something that can be practiced according to personal whim or fancy, as if the areas we fail to properly fulfill are somehow non-essential or extra credit.
"Half Shabbos" is a term that is better suited to describe the emphasis we typically place on the shamor (restrictive) aspects of Shabbos at the expense of the zachor. For too many of us, Shabbos is all about the don'ts – specifically, what to avoid and how to acceptably circumvent certain halachic roadblocks in order to enjoy ourselves as much as possible.
In contrast, too little emphasis is focused on the positive aspects of Shabbos – the serenity, the beauty, the reconnection with our Maker. In our frenetic world, where realities change and information pours in by the nanosecond, it is easy to understand why so many of our children view Shabbos as a boring and lonely experience rather than an invigorating and affirming one – and why they seek each other's virtual company to keep themselves connected and engaged.
If we are to make "half Shabbos" become a truly "full" Shabbos for all of us, we need to understand the true goals of our day of rest. We need to appreciate the purpose of the restrictions so that we can transcend our base realities and acquire an aspect of the Divine that eludes us throughout the weekly rat race.

David Poole didn't know me, but I knew him.It was hard not to know Poole if you're ever been anywhere near the media center at a NASCAR racetrack, listened to his radio show or read his articles and columns. Poole, who died of a heart attack this week, was a fixture on the NASCAR circuit. A large man with a voice and passion to match, he was one of the sport's biggest proponents - and one of its biggest critics. A few years ago I began covering the Atlanta races for the Daily Post. A lifelong race fan, my first time at the track with nearly unlimited access to the pits and garage was akin to a Braves fan getting to sit in the dugout during the game. But my wonderment was soon tempered upon entering the infield media center for the first time. Here were a couple hundred professional writers and photographers, all dedicated to the coverage of the sport. To count myself among them, I wanted to prove I belonged. I wanted to learn how these people did what they did, so I did something I sometimes have a hard time doing: I kept my mouth shut and listened. It didn't take long to spot the guy in charge, and it wasn't any of the people wearing Atlanta Motor Speedway badges. It was Poole, the NASCAR beat writer from the Charlotte Observer. Poole was loud. He was cantankerous. Argumentative. I didn't exactly form a nice opinion during my first few minutes in the same room with him. But over those three days, I found some other words to describe Poole: passionate, opinionated, talented writer, expert, professional. If other reporters had a question about something, they asked Poole. If they needed an opinion, they asked Poole. If they disagreed with his answer, they had to be ready to back it up. If the media center got too loud, Poole said, "shut up," and everyone did. I quickly found out that among the other reporters, one needed no descriptive words to differentiate him from some other David. If someone said the name David, it was a given that you meant David Poole from the Observer. That even applied to drivers. He was the only print reporter who was consistently addressed by his first name by people like Tony Stewart and Jeff Burton. Yet despite being known by everyone, at every press conference I attended with him he followed the rules, always stating his name and affiliation prior to asking his question. Every time I went to Atlanta, I made sure to listen to whatever Poole had to say and the questions he asked. When my dad and I used to go to Charlotte for the Memorial Day weekend race, I always picked up an Observer and hunted his byline. Poole did what a reporter should: he told me things I didn't know. And he proved that racing is much more dynamic than just cars going around in a circle. And despite such access to the insiders, he never shied away from standing outside and looking in with an objective view. Indeed, one of his last columns for thatsracin.com was hypercritical of the events at Talladega Speedway this past weekend. Carl Edwards' car went airborne on the last lap, crashed into the catch fence and showered fans with debris, resulting in seven injuries. In the aftermath, Poole wrote: It seems we've decided we can live with that much damage being done to the sport's customers for "good racing." How many people have to be listed in "guarded" or "critical" condition before we say that's too much? Is it lead changes? If we have fewer than five fans hurt for every lead change, is that acceptable? Does somebody have to die before we've decided we don't have control? Poole didn't die in a crash or in the stands, but maybe his passing will cause the NASCAR people who've voiced such sadness at his loss to listen to his final plea. Making the sport safer could be Poole's finest legacy and NASCAR's greatest tribute. E-mail Nate McCullough at email@example.com. His column appears on Fridays.

Garmin have told me the 765T should work the same as the ZUMO 660 series - they support webpages also say it should work but I cant get it to keep the connection. I think the problem here is with the 765T when it acts as the main "hub"
When connecting to the phone or gos separately my headset had no problem.
Now, I am looking at the Sena SMH10 - and I like what I have heard and see. The controls look like they will work easily with gloves on.
I'll probably order a set
Thought I had answered this, but that must have been in a PM to another inmate...
We did get both to pair up. IPhone 3Gs to Sena using the A2DP profile for phone calls and iPod music. Then paired the Nuvi 765 to the iPhone using the hands-free profile, using the Nuvi as a 'gateway device' for making the and receiving phone calls.
We also paired the Nuvi 765 to the Sena independently of the iPhone pairing, since it supports a connection to a 'headset' and a 'phone'.

Tourist Steals Barbed Wire From Auschwitz
Italian man arrested at Krakow airport faces up to five years in jail
An Italian tourist was arrested at Krakow's John Paul II International Airport this weekend for attempting to smuggle a bizarre souvenir out of Poland in his suitcase: a piece of barbed wire from Auschwitz. JTA reports that border guards discovered the "rusty piece of wire," which was about 16 inches long, and that the man faces a prison sentence ranging anywhere from three months to five years.
"During interrogation, the man said that he took the wire as a souvenir while visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, lifted it from the ground and took it with him," Katarzyna Walczak, a spokeswoman for the Silesian-Malopolska Border Guard, said in a statement.
It's a perplexing story, especially since judging from my visit several years ago, the grounds appear to be maintained by museum staff, and it seems unlikely that barbed wire is falling down all over the place. It's also a thoroughly creepy memento—and part of an historical site, no less—that raises a host of questions about the person who decided to tote it home with him.

ANAHEIM – First, he was out.
Then he was in, and then back out again.
Now, Angels right-hander Jerome Williams has been given another chance to be a semi-permanent part of the starting rotation — at least until left-hander Jason Vargas returns from the disabled list.
"I know what his intentions are," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Saturday, before Williams made his eighth start of the season. "Take this, run with it and be a starter the rest of his career. If he does do that, then it'll be a benefit for us."
Williams didn't quite run with Saturday's start, allowing four earned runs in six innings, but his 3.78 ERA as a starter still slots in just behind the Angels' two most effective rotation members in Vargas and C.J. Wilson.
In 15 starts last season, Williams posted a 4.83 ERA — three-quarters of a run worse than he was as a reliever. His strikeout-walk ratio was a particular issue, as he was almost doubly as effective in that category as a reliever.
"Overall last year, his numbers weren't terrific as a starter with us," Scioscia said. "That doesn't mean he can't change, but trying to forge your way through to get an opportunity is at times an issue. Jerome's done everything we've asked, and he's getting a chance to start now."
Scioscia said he would prefer to have his sixth starter in Triple-A instead of in his bullpen, but Williams has typically been the first-choice replacement starter.
Now, with Vargas potentially out 4-6 weeks if he opts for surgery on the blood clot in his left armpit, Williams could have another extended opportunity.
Somewhere high on the list of reasons Angels slugger Albert Pujols has actually started slugging of late is this: His ailing knee and foot are causing him less pain.
"I'm not going to discount the fact that his legs are probably feeling a little bit better," Scioscia said. "But what he has right now is probably more chronic than anything."
Pujols is hitting .304 with five homers and 16 RBI in 79 June at-bats.
"He's starting to be able to use all fields again," Scioscia said.

SandBox.sys is a Windows driver. A driver is a small software program that allows your computer to communicate with hardware or connected devices. This means that a driver has direct access to the internals of the operating system, hardware etc. The free file information forum can help you determine if SandBox.sys is a Windows system file or if it belongs to an application that you can trust.
Run a free scan to check for SandBox drivers in need of updating
The process known as Host Protection Component or SandBox File System Access Control by Process Manager belongs to software Agnitum Ltd. Host Protection Component or Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro by Agnitum (www.agnitum.com).
Description: SandBox.sys is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. SandBox.sys is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files".
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 256,296 bytes (25% of all occurrences), 109,184 bytes and 4 more variants.
The driver can be started or stopped from Services in the Control Panel or by other programs. The program is not visible. There is no detailed description of this service. SandBox.sys is not a Windows core file. SandBox.sys appears to be a compressed file. Therefore the technical security rating is 39% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
You could uninstall Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro or Lavasoft Personal Firewall from your computer using the Control Panel applet "Add/Remove programs".
Recommended: Identify SandBox.sys related errors
If SandBox.sys is located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder, the security rating is 18% dangerous. The file size is 714,752 bytes (25% of all occurrences), 713,672 bytes, 715,000 bytes or 379,080 bytes.
The program is not visible. The file is not a Windows core file. SandBox.sys is a Verisign signed file. The file is digitally signed. The service has no detailed description.
SandBox.sys is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs.
You could uninstall Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009 from your computer using the Control Panel applet "Add/Remove programs".
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as SandBox.sys. Therefore, you should check the SandBox.sys process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of SandBox.sys: based on 4 votes with 4 user comments. 3 users think SandBox.sys is essential for Windows or an installed application. One user thinks it's probably harmless.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with SandBox. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the SandBox.sys process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

Nissan's Smyrna, Tenn. workers fear retaliation if they report on-the-job injuries, survey shows
People Referenced:
Just Changed The Name
Only reason this "pathway" of false hope they are giving us is because of union threat in Canton. They are trying to diffuse the situation up here. If it wasn't for that they wouldn't do a nothing for us at all, and they still are not. Going from Yates to Nissan Pathway was NO difference. They have created a mess. I hope it works out. They should have hired all of us as Nissan in the first place with the same pay earned time off etc. Going from Yates to Nissan was just a name change, that's all. (AND WE ALL FEEL THE SAME WAY!)
Here just recently this past week they made afternoon shift, the cheaper shift mainly Pathway employees or Yates work Monday thru Friday from 2:30pm to 10:30pm then have us come in on Saturday to work a swing shift 5:30pm to 5:06am Sunday.(WERE NOT EVEN GETTING A DAY OFF OR BEING PAID CORRECTLY) They change the production schedule constantly to prevent us from getting double time. THEN have day shift come in making three times our pay and work a ten-hour day making double time.
It seems to me the only hope we have is Depending on a union.
Agree 100%... 3000/1700 bonus
Agree 100%... 3000/1700 bonus when they double their profit we also builted more cars. Now that's some BS

Charles Perrow is famous worldwide for his ideas about normal accidents, the notion that multiple and unexpected failures--catastrophes waiting to happen--are built into our society's complex systems. In The Next Catastrophe, he offers crucial insights into how to make us safer, proposing a bold new way of thinking about disaster preparedness.
Perrow argues that rather than laying exclusive emphasis on protecting targets, we should reduce their size to minimize damage and diminish their attractiveness to terrorists. He focuses on three causes of disaster--natural, organizational, and deliberate--and shows that our best hope lies in the deconcentration of high-risk populations, corporate power, and critical infrastructures such as electric energy, computer systems, and the chemical and food industries. Perrow reveals how the threat of catastrophe is on the rise, whether from terrorism, natural disasters, or industrial accidents. Along the way, he gives us the first comprehensive history of FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security and examines why these agencies are so ill equipped to protect us.
The Next Catastrophe is a penetrating reassessment of the very real dangers we face today and what we must do to confront them. Written in a highly accessible style by a renowned systems-behavior expert, this book is essential reading for the twenty-first century. The events of September 11 and Hurricane Katrina--and the devastating human toll they wrought--were only the beginning. When the next big disaster comes, will we be ready? In a new preface to the paperback edition, Perrow examines the recent (and ongoing) catastrophes of the financial crisis, the BP oil spill, and global warming.

Testing Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: National Quality-of-Life Across Time

Maslow's hierarchy-of-needs theory is used to predict development of Quality of Life (QOL) in countries over time. Previous data sets have not had sufficient power to test these development trends among countries. Therefore a new database was developed that includes annual quality of life time-series for 88 countries from 1960 to 1994, covering measures on all five of Maslow's need-levels. Results showed significant agreement with some of Maslow's predictions, including his sequence of need achievement, and parts of an S-shaped trajectory in QOL. However, his mechanism of growth – that countries must slow growth in one area to increase growth in another – was disconfirmed.

It's here: Lamborghini Aventador Roadster
Think of it as an open-air, 515kW V12 concert…
There are no buttons, no levers and no helper monkeys to magically whisk off the roof from this new Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, thus transporting you from the comfort of a V12 recording studio to a 515kW open-air concert.
You have to do it by hand. That is, your own hands, and - probably - the hands of the person you are driving with.

Jean Slater is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Gillian Wright. She appeared in December 2004. She returned as a recurring character in June 2007, and began making regular appearances from November 2007. The character of Jean is notable for suffering bipolar disorder, which put a strain on her relationship with her two children Sean (Robert Kazinsky) and Stacey (Lacey Turner). In July 2013, it was announced that Wright had decided to leave the show.[2] Jean departed the series on 17 September 2013, leaving for a fresh start with boyfriend Ollie Walters (Tony O'Callaghan). On 18 May 2014, it was confirmed that Wright would be returning to the soap for a short stint, to tie in with Stacey's return.[3] Wright returned to filming, alongside Turner, in June 2014,[4] returning in the episode broadcast on 4 August 2014, and departing one week later on 11 August 2014.[5] Jean will return again later in 2015 for another guest stint.[6]
Jean married Brian Slater and had two children in the 1980s: Sean (Robert Kazinsky) and Stacey (Lacey Turner). Brian died in December 1999 following an accident on a building site; it was later revealed that Sean had punched him, causing Brian to fall from the scaffolding. After the accident, Sean ran away and joined the army; Jean later believed he had died in combat. Jean, a sufferer of bipolar disorder, was unable to cope with the loss of her husband and son. She was non-compliant with medication and ordered Stacey, her main carer, to leave her house in 2004. Stacey subsequently moved in with her paternal great uncle Charlie (Derek Martin) and his family in Walford.
Jean's condition steadily deteriorates and despite Stacey's help, Jean attempts suicide and is sectioned in 2005. Over the following years, she attempts to rebuild her relationship with Stacey and Sean (following his return from the army). She makes progress with Stacey, but Sean continues to reject her. Jean moves in with the Slater family in Walford in 2006 and meets Ted (Richard Hope) at a singles' night. They date; however, Ted ends it because he cannot handle Jean's personality. Jean takes the rejection badly, has a breakdown and is admitted to a psychiatric ward for several months. When Stacey begins showing symptoms of bipolar, Jean intervenes and Stacey is sectioned. During her stay in hospital, Stacey grows close to another patient, Becca Swanson (Simone James); upon Stacey's release, Becca returns to live with her. Becca vies for Stacey's attention. She grows jealous of Stacey's husband Bradley Branning (Charlie Clements) and Jean. Following Bradley's death and the birth of Stacey's baby Lily in 2010, Becca successfully attempts to exclude Jean from Stacey's life. It is not until the true extent of Becca's involvement in Bradley's death is revealed (Becca had called the police and implicated him for Archie Mitchell's (Larry Lamb) murder and Bradley died in the subsequent police chase) that Stacey finally sees sense and begins to trust Jean again.
While at R&R nightclub, Jean is saved by Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) from a man who pesters her. Jean invites Billy back to her house and they have sex, but Billy hurts her feelings the next day when she hears him making insulting comments about her. Despite being upset, she accepts Billy's apology, dismissing it as just a one-night stand. Following Stacey's confession that it was she, not Bradley, who murdered Archie a year before, Jean begins to doubt Stacey is fit to care for Lily. Her fears worsen when Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) stabs herself and makes it look like Stacey is responsible. Jean phones the police asking them to detain Stacey. Fearing prison, Stacey attempts to flee and is eventually helped to escape by Jean once Stacey reveals her motive behind Archie's murder — he had raped her. Stacey takes Lily and leaves on Christmas Day 2010. Jean is heartbroken by her departure; she grows depressed and Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) finds her in the bath fully clothed attempting to drown herself. Realising that she is not coping, Jean admits herself into a psychiatric hospital.
Kat visits Jean three months later and Jean reveals she is better and can leave. Kat invites her to stay with her, which she does. She works for Kat and her husband Alfie (Shane Richie) as barmaid and cook at the Queen Victoria public house. She develops crushes on Alfie's cousin Eddie (David Essex) and Janine's uncle Norman Simmonds (George Layton), but her interest is not returned by either. Jean is thrilled when she wins £8000 on a lottery scratchcard. She makes an incorrect assumption that a man named Carter (Andrew Scarborough) is attracted to her, but he is later revealed to be a benefit fraud officer who declares Jean has been illegally claiming benefits whilst working at the pub. Kat's grandmother Mo Harris (Laila Morse) later admits that she has been claiming benefits in Jean's name. Jean begrudgingly agrees to take the blame as Mo has a previous conviction, but the stress causes another mental breakdown; she obsesses over Shenice Quinn (Lily Harvey), a young girl who the Moons care for, believing she is an angel. Instead of having her readmitted to hospital, Kat vows to care for Jean at home, and Jean eventually improves.
As Alfie has hired Ray Dixon (Chucky Venn) as a professional chef, Jean is fired from the pub kitchen, but is given the job of events manager. Jean is conned out of her lottery winnings by Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd), who tells her he will invest the money for her. He persuades her to 'invest' Alfie's money, which Jean has been given to pay bills with and she also invests money saved for The Queen Victoria's VAT bill. Barmaid Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) discovers the money missing, so a worried Jean asks Michael to return it, but he denies any knowledge of her investment. Jean tells Michael's fiancée Janine that he has taken her money, but Michael claims Jean is obsessed, thinking he is her son Sean therefore making Janine's unborn baby her grandchild. Roxy believes Jean, but Michael convinces her that Jean is also obsessed with Roxy's daughter Amy Mitchell (Amelie Conway), and plants Amy's belongings in Jean's bedroom to prove it. Nobody believes Jean, and she becomes desperate to clear her name. Eventually, Roxy warns her to stop making allegations. Realising that she cannot cope with Jean alone, Roxy calls Alfie. Alfie returns with Kat, and Kat believes Jean, vowing to help prove Michael took the money. The truth eventually emerges when Kat tells Michael that Jean threatened to kill herself if she is sectioned over him, leading to Michael admitting to Kat that he took the money. When all these events cause Janine to go into premature labour on he wedding day, Jean has a sudden change of heart and strongly advises Michael to support Janine after he decides to flee. Kat then tells Michael that he must repay back the money to Jean, which he does.
Jean forms an unlikely friendship with Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and supports Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) following his nervous breakdown. When he recovers and decides to open up a new restaurant he appoints Jean as his sous-chef. However the stress of holding down two jobs, coupled with Ian's constant bullying, results in Jean quitting, especially when she falsely assumes Ian of sexually harassing her. Drowning her sorrows with Shirley and Bianca Butcher (Patsy Palmer), Jean realises that she has left her handbag at the restaurant and they break in at night to retrieve it. Shirley and Bianca continue to get drunk and a fire soon breaks out; the sprinkler system puts it out but floods the restaurant. The women escape unseen, but Jean struggles with her guilt. She confesses to Kat, who convinces her to keep quiet but when Jean volunteers to help clean up the restaurant with Ian she confesses to him. Ian threatens to call the police, but he later decides against it. Jean takes up an allotment, where she meets Ollie Walters (Tony O'Callaghan). Ollie asks Jean on a date but she is reluctant upon finding out he is a retired police officer, but Kat and Alfie convince her to go. She confesses about her recent crimes to Ollie on their second date, but he tells her it does not matter as she was not charged so she can forget about it. Their date goes well and afterwards Jean invites Ollie to spend the night with her. Eventually, Jean tells Ollie about her bipolar disorder, despite worrying that he would reject her. He researches the illness but Jean realises that he does not really want to be with someone who has a mental illness, so they break up. She tries to reunite with him later but discovers he is retiring to Brighton. She attends his retirement party but leaves before he sees her. Ollie comes to visit Jean asking if she would move to Brighton with him, but Kat tells Jean not to go as she is needed in Walford. However Kat later regrets this and tells Jean she should go. Jean then leaves Walford with Ollie to start a new life in Brighton after saying an emotional farewell to Kat and Alfie.
When Stacey returns to Walford in 2014, she confesses to killing Archie, which leads to her being imprisoned with a five-year sentence, and Lily is left in Jean and Ollie's care. A few months later, Jean arrives at Kat and Alfie's home with Lily. She visits Stacey in prison, urging her to appeal her sentence, but Stacey refuses. Jean struggles to cope with looking after Lily, and when she overhears Alfie and Kat talking about her, she attempts suicide. Stacey is allowed to visit Jean in hospital, where Stacey realises how much her family need her, especially as Jean wants to stay in a psychiatric hospital. Jean eventually convinces Stacey to appeal her sentence and then returns to a psychiatric hospital in Brighton.
Creation and development[edit]
"I don't think she was ever intended to be a regular. She snuck in the back door really! She's a character that's grown after being created for a week of episodes back in 2005 for that big storyline where Stacey found Jean in the flat that was all boarded up. There was the odd little bit here and there over the following months and it just gradually built up to becoming a regular. It was quite hard to turn her from someone who was quite an intensive character to someone who could be watched on a regular basis."[7]
Jean was originally a minor character, appearing for a storyline where her daughter Stacey, played by Lacey Turner, struggles to look after her in December 2005. The character eventually became a regular, but Wright said she did not believe this was originally intended: "She's a character that's grown after being created for a week of episodes back in 2005 for that big storyline where Stacey found Jean in the flat that was all boarded up. There was the odd little bit here and there over the following months and it just gradually built up to becoming a regular. It was quite hard to turn her from someone who was quite an intensive character to someone who could be watched on a regular basis."[8]
Jean was originally a minor character, appearing for a storyline where her daughter Stacey, played by Lacey Turner, struggles to look after her in December 2005. In the storyline, Stacey returned to live with her mother, who suffers from bipolar disorder, amidst one of her mental breakdowns. Scenes showed Jean, who had "sank into the dark despair of her illness", living in squalor, off her medication, starved, petrified, suicidal, and being abused and ridiculed by her neighbours. Stacey is forced to admit her to a psychiatric hospital for her own safety. In May 2009, Stacey started showing signs of bipolar disorder. Series consultant Simon Ashdown said the storyline tests Jean, adding, "you'll see her attempt to adopt more of a maternal role towards Stacey. Up till now it's Stacey who has been the 'carer' in the relationship."[9] In an interview with entertainment website Digital Spy, Wright discussed Jean's complex character, saying "She's slightly quirky and off-kilter but also has bipolar, if that makes sense? The disorder's different for everybody. I wait until the scripts come in and sometimes I think 'we've been on a flat level for too long' so I find a way within the dialogue to make it a bit difference." The actress also revealed that she greatly enjoys working on EastEnders as it is always full of surprises.[7] In May 2010, Wright told Kris Green of Digital Spy that working with EastEnders is a privilege. Before her return was announced, she said of her departure: "Things can't last forever. I am an actress and it's all a big adventure, isn't it? It's wonderful to have been in it for so long. [Jean] wasn't meant to be a regular character, so to have crept in slowly, then become a regular...for the audience to love and for me to be able to play something a little quirky, fun and also bipolar has been a privilege."[10]
2010 departure and 2011 return[edit]
On 29 April 2010, it was announced that Jean and Stacey were both to depart from the soap later in the year. Wright said of her departure: "It's been an honour to play Jean especially as the public response to her has always been so supportive. It's been a real privilege to be able to heighten awareness of bipolar disorder. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with my onscreen Slater family, in particular working with Lacey and developing such a great rapport over the years."[11] Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood added: "Gillian has brought real heart and pathos to the role of Jean Slater, a complex and fragile character who has really been taken into the public's affection."[11] However, Wright was given a reprieve in late 2010, when it was announced that a storyline had been created for Jean and Wright had signed a new contract to return in 2011.[12] Jean left EastEnders on 13 January 2011[13] and returned on 29 March 2011.[14]
Investment fraud[edit]
In April 2012, it was announced that Jean would form an unlikely relationship with Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd).[15] Michael seizes this opportunity to trick Jean into giving him a large sum of money.[15] Michael tells Jean, that because one of the suspects for the murder of Heather Trott (Cheryl Fergison) had a large sum of money, the police could easily target Jean as an additional suspect.[15] Jean gives her scratch card winnings consisting of £8000 to Michael so he can invest it into his gym, but in fact Michael plans to use it to pay for his wedding to Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks).[15] Michael, seeing that Jean is an easy target, decides to con her again by asking her for a second investment by "lending" him Alfie Moon's (Shane Richie) savings.[16] Even though Jean is initially reluctant at first, she hands over the VAT money for The Queen Victoria.[16] Shepherd expressed his excitement for forthcoming storylines for his character Michael and Wright's character Jean.[17] Speaking to All About Soap, Shepherd said: "We are building up to something, but I don't know what the pay-off is. It'll be a real crescendo and the thing with Jean becomes extremely intense. It's a bubbling cauldron."[17] Shepherd later confessed that Michael doesn't care if Janine finds out where the money is coming from.[17] He added: "He balances the risk he might be thrown out of the relationship against the benefits and decides it's worth the gamble."[17]
Wright has said that viewers are "protective" of Jean and that Michael's scam against Jean has led to people supporting her.[18] Wright told Inside Soap: "It's funny how protective the viewers are of Jean," she said. "The other night, I was putting the bins out and a woman screeched up in her car, wound the window down and said, 'Don't give him the money! He's a git!' I thought that was very sweet."[18] Shepherd later said on 24 May 2012 that Michael is playing a "dangerous game" as his scam intensifies.[19] Wright later reassured viewers that Jean will fight back against Michael and will not remain a victim.[20] Wright commented: "This [story is] quite special, I think - it's the longest one I've ever had, but also it's taking advantage of someone with bipolar and making them feel like they are losing the plot - that's a tough story."[20] Wright also said that the storyline is a "huge responsibility".[20] It was later revealed in 2012 that Jean will become an unlikely Ally to Michael after she urges him not to make a terrible mistake.[21] Wright said that she is thrilled that Jean is standing up for herself as the storyline continues.[22] Speaking on This Morning, Wright said: "Jean is a victim and the storyline is about a victim, I suppose. [But] I didn't want it to be played as a victim. So I'm looking for any opportunity for her to seize her own power. Sometimes that might be the smallest thing, like breaking into somebody's house and searching. That's a big thing - hiding under a table is a big thing!"[20]
The episodes showing Stacey struggling to look after Jean were described as a "harrowing and bleak", were praised by critics in the media. Wright and Turner were complimented for giving "graphically powerful performances",[23] and the storyline won a Mental Health Media Award in September 2006.[24] Wright also won 'Best Actress' at the 2012 Inside Soap Awards [25]

American teen shocks Serena at Australian Open
More News from Will Swanton
More News from Agence France-Presse
MELBOURNE—American teenager Sloane Stephens ended Serena Williams' bid for a historic calendar-year Grand Slam when she sent the injury-hampered favourite crashing out of the Australian Open Wednesday.
As Williams, who was troubled by ankle problems earlier in the tournament, required treatment for back spasms and smashed her racquet as the match slipped away, Stephens held her nerve to win 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 in 2hr 17min.
"This is so crazy," said Stephens, who used to have Williams' poster on her bedroom wall. "I think I'll put a poster of myself up now."
Stephens, 19, regarded as Williams' successor as the force of women's tennis in the United States, now goes into a semi-final against world number one and defending champion Victoria Azarenka.
The teenager was able to match her elder's trademark power in the opening exchanges, but errors crept in towards the end of the 28-minute first set.
Stephens played a dispirited opening game of the second set and Williams pounced. Appearing untroubled by the right ankle she rolled in the first round, Williams took a 2-0 lead before the youngster fought back.
Stephens showed glimpses of her much-hyped shot-making to break Williams' serve in the fourth game of the second set. Forehands started hitting the mark and her first serve was matching Williams' deliveries of 107 miles (172 kilometres) per hour.
She had a break point on Williams' serve at 3-2, only for the world number three to slide an ace down the T.
At 3-4, 0-30, Williams grimaced after hitting a backhand winner. Close to the net, she had to pull up quickly to avoid making contact with the net and losing the point.
She began hobbling between points, lost strength on her serve and Stephens broke for 5-3. Williams attempted to keep rallies short by hitting winners, and Stephens had an attack of nerves to lose serve when trying to level it at a set apiece.
Williams called for the trainer at 4-5, complaining of back spasms. Next game, she could barely serve but her groundstrokes remained potent. She held serve to love as Stephens lost composure, but the teenager staved off a break points in the following game to lead 6-5, and won her second set point to take the match into a decider.
Games went on serve until Williams broke Stephens for a 4-3 lead. Williams' movement had improved to a significant degree, but Stephens broke back amid excruciating tension.
A final break of serve gave the teenager the biggest win of her career.

Chelsea have made a late move for Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes.
Hughes is now at the centre of a managerial tug-of-war after Manchester City also made an approach for him.
The former Manchester United striker was given permission by Blackburn on Monday to speak to City regarding the possibility of replacing Sven Goran Eriksson at Eastlands.
But according to Sky Sports News, Hughes is one of two names in the frame to replace Avram Grant in the Stamford Bridge hot seat.
Senior Chelsea figures met outside the country on Monday to discuss the appointment of a new boss, with Hughes and a foreign candidate in contention to succeed Grant.
Chelsea's hunt for their next manager has now 'seriously gathered pace' and a decision is understood to be imminent.

Just 23, world's No. 1 player joins Hall of Famer Lopez in elite company
LPGA Kia Classic
Yani Tseng -14
Sun Young Yoo -8
Shanshan Feng -7
Jiyai Shin -7
Ai Miyazato -5
C. Hedwall -5
Jodi Ewart -4
Se Ri Pak -4
CARLSBAD Yani Tseng has seen scant video highlights of Nancy Lopez. She said she's met the LPGA legend several times at various events in the past few years.
To Tseng, Lopez is a "wonderful" woman and a "nice, nice" player, but it must seem to the 23-year-old Taiwanese that the elder star competed with a niblick and Gutta Percha ball, though it was persimmon and balata.
Understand, when Tseng was born in 1989, Lopez already had been a member of the LPGA Hall of Fame for two years and was in the autumn of her 48-win career. Lopez, now 55, has two children older than Tseng.
The eras in which they played are immeasurably different, but winning remains the ultimate barometer, and in that Lopez and Tseng stand nearly side by side in one respect.
With her dominating, six-shot victory Sunday in the Kia Classic at the La Costa Resort & Spa — Tseng's sixth win in her last 12 LPGA starts — the world's No. 1 player became the second-youngest golfer to reach 15 victories on the LPGA Tour. Lopez holds the top distinction, reaching the milestone at 22 years, 5 months and 18 days in 1979. The young woman who became an American sports darling tacked on two more victories before her 23rd birthday.
"It's a big honor for me to have my name mentioned with her," Tseng said.
With the way she's playing, Tseng is going to be in lofty company more and more frequently.
Incredibly enough, Tseng has 23 of the 27 points she needs to earn entry into the Hall of Fame. A regular tour win is worth one point, a major is good for two, and Tseng goes into this week's Kraft Nabisco Championship having already won the season's first major once, in 2010, while narrowly losing last year.
"I can be very young to be in the Hall of Fame," Tseng said with a grin. "I feel very old.
"But the Hall of Fame is my dream since I was young. … So I always keep that in my mind and I try to win every tournament, focus on every tournament and see how I can improve that."
Tseng, who recorded seven LPGA wins in 2011, already has three triumphs in five starts this season, and the Kia victory might have been the most impressive. In taking the $255,000 first prize, she led wire to wire, shot four sub-par rounds and doubled the three-shot lead she had going into the day by shooting a smooth, 2-under-par 70 that gave her a 14-under 274 total.
South Korean Sun Young Yoo (71) finished at 8-under to place second, while China's Shanshan Feng made a too-late charge with a 67 and tied Jiyai Shin (74) for third at 7-under.
The top American finish was a solo ninth by Brittany Lincicome (71), 11 shots behind Tseng.

we want to install a doggi door or 12" square in interior dry wall (between 2 bedrooms). How do I know if there are any wires or cables, etc?
Use a dry wall saw to make a hole, just be carefull to not go to deep.
Simple enough to reroute any wiring or just patch the drywall if your not up to that.
My $20 stud finder, from Lowes, will tell me if there are wires behind the drywall.
Simple to reroute the wires? Uh, sure, if you don't mind removing A LOT more drywall!
Poke a small hole---bend the end of a length of wire---stick it in the hole--spin it and see if it hits any thing---

Isis cholesterol drug shows promise in tests
"A lot of people think it's the next big thing, and we'll need to understand what went wrong with torcetrapib to move forward," said Dr. Steven Nissen, a Cleveland Clinic heart specialist who is president of the American College of Cardiology.
The new studies, reported at the group's conference, gave a mixed answer. The Pfizer drug seems uniquely risky, but other drugs have problems, too.
And even though they and the Pfizer drug raised HDL good cholesterol as intended, that made no difference in the odds of heart attacks or deaths, or key measures of cholesterol buildup in arteries.
Doctors long have focused on lowering LDL-cholesterol to cut heart attack risk. Statins are sold as Lipitor and Zocor and also in generic form, lower LDL, which ferries fats from food into the bloodstream.
But many statin users suffer heart attacks, anyway. So doctors have been trying to boost HDL, which transports fat from the blood to the liver to be disposed of, to further lower risk.
An extended-release niacin drug called Niaspan, sold by Kos Pharmaceuticals Inc., does this. But it can cause a prickly hot sensation called flushing that some people find intolerable. Pfizer, Merck & Co. and Swiss drug-maker Roche Holding AG are testing drugs that boost HDL in a novel way.
On Monday, scientists reported the results of several studies on torcetrapib. In one, the drug boosted HDL by 61 percent, but trends in death, hospitalization and heart attacks "are all going in the wrong direction," Nissen said.
An experimental diabetes drug by Eli Lilly and Co. that is 10,000 times more potent than fibrates, a current cholesterol treatment, also proved disappointing. The new drug raised HDL, but also raised the risk of kidney, heart and other serious problems, Nissen reported.
Finally, infusions of a reconstituted form of HDL developed by CSL Ltd., an Australian company, made no big difference in the burden of artery buildups in a study led by Dr. Jean-Claude Tardif of the Montreal Heart Institute.

BANGALORE: Karnataka women crossed a major hurdle with relative ease downing Tamil Nadu 25-14, 25-9, 25-21, in the 15th South Zone Senior National volleyball championship, conducted by the J.P. Nagar Sports Club at the Durga Parmeshwari grounds here on Friday.
TN is here with a string of college girls. But the team was expected to put up a much better show.
However, the defence was just not cohesive; the first pass was literally non-existent as libero Bhuvaneshwari had a bad day.
Karnataka on the other hand was solid in attack, the induction of three players from Kerala — Bijina, Shyma and Shini — working well. With junior international Shwetha and Ashwini also proving their rising stature, there was all round effort. Setter and captain Shyla Thomas came up with some impecable drops catching the rival defence wrong-footed while libero Suma Hegde was simply unpassable in defence.
After rattling up the first two sets in quick time, Karnataka, perhaps, grew complacent. It showed even during the final moments of the second set when it allowed Tamil Nadu to rally from 24-3 to 24-9 before wrapping it up.
In the third, however the scores ran close till 18-18 before Karnataka nosed ahead to clinch the match.
Earlier in the day, Kerala women continued their attacking game to cruise to a thumping 25-5, 25-8, 25-12 win over a mediocre Pondicherry. Late last night, Tamil Nadu men outspiked Andhra Pradesh 25-18, 25-19, 25-21 for their first win while AP suffered its second straight defeat. In a women's match, TN girls were far too superior to Pondicherry, winning 25-3, 25-9, 25-14. — Special Correspondent

ST. MARYS — St. Marys senior guard Kayla Hoohuli once again proved why she could go down as one of the best female basketball players in District IX history Monday night, scoring 46 points during the Lady Dutch's 57-48 victory over Punxsutawney.
Punxsy threw everything it had at Hoohuli, but she still scored all but 11 of her team's points while helping St. Marys dispatch a 14-5 deficit. Hoohuli was strongest down the stretch, going 8-of-10 from the free-throw line while providing her team with a 17-13 final quarter to extend upon a 40-35 lead after three.
BROOKVILLE — It was a tale of two halves Monday in Brookville, as the Lady Raiders bounced back from a slow first half to pull away from Redbank Valley late, turning a close game into a 63-31 rout of the Lady Bulldogs.
When Brookville went into halftime with a seven-point lead, it was hard to imagine that the Lady Raiders were going to find a way to just cruise to the one-sided victory. Brookville constantly turned the ball over in the first half and couldn't seem to find a consistent offensive attack.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy ninth-grade girls' basketball team bounced back from its only losing streak to date by thrashing Indiana Monday, 39-14.
The Lady Chucks (8-3) dropped two-straight games to Altoona and Hollidaysburg last week, but Monday, they didn't give up more than four points during any quarter while cruising to a huge win.
Punxsy scored 10 points during each of the first two quarters while taking a 20-7 advantage into the break. After jumping ahead 33-11 entering the final frame, Punxsy allowed just a three-pointer during the fourth quarter.
