CSI: Miami (Crime Scene Investigation: Miami) is an American police procedural television series which ran from September 23, 2002 to April 8, 2012 on CBS. It is the first spin-off of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
The pilot episode was first broadcast in United States on May 9, 2002, as an episode of CSI from the second season. The series was produced in partnership with the Canadian media company Alliance Atlantis and CBS Television Studios.
On February 1, 2012, it was announced that the tenth season of CSI: Miami would be trimmed to nineteen episodes to make room for the debut of midseason replacement NYC 22. On May 13, 2012, both series were canceled.
CSI: Miami was filmed primarily in the United States. Indoor scenes were shot at Raleigh Manhattan Studios in Manhattan Beach, California. The majority of all outdoor scenes were filmed in Long Beach, California, as well as portions of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. Beach areas of Downtown Long Beach were often used for other outdoor scenes: Marina Green Park and Rainbow Lagoon Park. The newly constructed high-rise condos there gave the pretense of being in Miami.
Many outdoor location shots were also filmed in Miami-Dade County, Florida including Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and Miami Beach.
The sculptured walkway paying tribute to the old Pike Roller Coaster can be seen in the background in the episodes "Wrecking Crew" and "Under The Influence". Footage from the Biscayne Courthouse, visible prominently in the episode "Recoil", among others, was filmed at the Water Garden Park in Santa Monica, at 34.028728, -118.471331.
Other locations of Long Beach are used such as the Naples district, where its canals and upscale homes with large boat docks and palm trees give a feel of Miami.
The building used for exterior shots of the Miami-Dade Police Department crime lab is actually the Federal Aviation Administration Federal Credit Union headquarters located at 14600 Aviation Boulevard in Hawthorne, California.
The series was canceled by CBS after the 10th season, making it the first series in the CSI franchise to be canceled.
Inspired by the series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami follows a South Florida team of forensic investigators/police officers who use both cutting-edge scientific methods and old-fashioned police work to solve crimes. Lieutenant Horatio Caine heads the team of investigators while working crimes in the steamy tropical surroundings and cultural crossroads of Miami. Horatio, his second in command Detective Calleigh Duquesne, and their team (Delko, Boa Vista, Wolfe, Tripp, Simmons, Donner, Speedle, Woods, Price, Salas, Loman, and Cardoza) probe cases similar to those of their Las Vegas counterparts, but Miami CSIs are cops first and scientists second.
- CSI Level 3 Day Shift Supervisor: Lieutenant Horatio (H) Caine (David Caruso) is the head of the Miami-Dade crime lab, a former NYPD homicide detective, a forensic analyst, and former bomb squad officer. Horatio is known to be very protective of his team, often going out of his way to assist them when needed. He is an outstanding marksman, and does not hesitate to use deadly force. He also very often goes to extraordinary lengths to save evidence or a potential victim. His demeanor is serious, direct, and to the point. Horatio appears to have a good sense for how to communicate with children who have just experienced traumatic ordeals. Horatio uses the "stay-calm" approach while comforting victims, killers, etc. Horatio is usually seen wearing a pair of sunglasses. Horatio was briefly married to Marisol Delko Caine (Alana de la Garza); the marriage ended when she was murdered by a Mala Noche sniper in "Rampage". In "Dangerous Son", Horatio discovered that he has a sixteen-year-old son named Kyle Harmon (Evan Ellingson). "John Walden" is a cover name he used sixteen years earlier doing undercover special task force work in Pensacola, FL where Horatio met Julia (Elizabeth Berkley) (Kyle's mother). The episode "In The Wind" revealed that Kyle is in Afghanistan. In "Going Ballistic", Caine is apparently shot, but it is later revealed in the episode, "Resurrection", that he faked his death in order to stop a sale of illegal bullets. His formation of the team in 1997 is depicted in flashbacks in the episode "Out of Time", shortly after he became the head of the new investigative unit swiftly renamed CSI.
- CSI Level 3 Day Shift Assistant Supervisor: Detective Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter) is a ballistics specialist. Calleigh's slight build, blonde good looks, and southern belle accent often lead others to underestimate her, but she is a brilliant and a dedicated scientist. Her father is an alcoholic attorney who has tried to rehabilitate himself several times. She follows the letter of the rules at all times. In "Ambush", a website seems to be stalking her and it is later discovered that the person behind it is Dan Cooper whom she was involved in catching for stealing deceased CSI Tim Speedle's credit card. In "All In", she is kidnapped and forced to help cover up a crime scene, but is later saved by her fellow CSIs. In "Smoke Gets in Your CSI's", Calleigh was rushed to the hospital for smoke inhalation when she and Ryan Wolfe escaped from a burning house with a dead body. In "Seeing Red", Calleigh shot Eric Delko, and in "Out of Time", Eric is in critical condition and a flashback occurs back to 1997 and Calleigh's first day on the job. As of seasons 7 and 8, she is in a romantic relationship with Eric Delko.
- CSI Level 3: Detective Ryan Wolfe (Jonathan Togo) was working as a police officer at the time he was hired for the lab virtually on the spot by Horatio Caine, who noted Ryan's immaculate care of his gun with approval, likely due to Wolfe having OCD. He first appeared in "Under the Influence" but did not become a regular cast member until "Hell Night". Ryan was replacing fallen CSI Tim Speedle, who died in the line of duty as a direct result of his poor gun maintenance. Ryan was impaled in the eye with a nail gun in "Nailed". At the end of the episode "Burned", Ryan was fired for being directly linked to a murder suspect and not disclosing it to the department. Seeking jobs as both a crime-scene expert, an expert witness for the defense, a firearms range technician, and applying to work as an ME Investigator while applying for reinstatement, he was later reinstated. In "Going Ballistic", Ryan receives a text message saying, "It is done," right after Horatio is shot and presumed dead. It is revealed in the seventh season premiere that he was asked by Horatio to assist in setting up Horatio's own execution, so he could go undercover. At the end of "Target Specific" and throughout the episode "Wolfe In Sheep's Clothing", Ryan was kidnapped and was forced by the Russian mob to cover up a crime.
- MDPD Homicide Detective: Sergeant Frank Tripp (Rex Linn) is a Texas-born homicide detective who accompanies the team to the crime scenes. He is known for interrogating suspects in his typical sarcastic manner and has a good working relationship with all the CSIs. He is divorced with three kids, revealed in "Dispo Day". After passing the Sergeant's Exam in the beginning of "Dangerous Son", Tripp was required to spend some time in uniform on a patrol rotation, but soon returned to the homicide unit and plainclothes in "Guerillas in the Mist". He often accompanies the CSIs to the crime scene to lend a hand and provide extra cover.
- CSI Level 2: Officer Natalia Boa Vista (Eva LaRue) is a DNA analyst who upon first arriving, was only allowed to work on cold or unsolved cases due to the restrictions of her federal grant. She escaped an abusive marriage before joining the department, when her association with a society for battered women was key to helping the team solve the murder of a woman. At the end of season four, it is revealed that Natalia is an FBI informant in the lab, assigned to help build a case against Horatio Caine and his team. Natalia was revealed to be the mole in the lab. In season 5, much to her distress, she discovered her abusive ex-husband Nick Townsend (Rob Estes) was out of prison when he served her with a restraining order and he was working for a private company that cleans up crime scenes. The two shared a tense relationship until Nick's murder, a crime for which Natalia was briefly considered the prime suspect. In "Darkroom", Ryan Wolfe finds a stash of photographed girls and Natalia discovers that one of the pictures is her sister Anya and DNA from a crime scene reveals that Anya is indeed one of the women that the CSIs are looking for. In "Tunnel Vision", Natalia was finally certified to carry a firearm, and she shot a suspect in self-defense with her Glock 26 for the first time. In "Count Me Out", Natalia is involved in a meth lab explosion, which causes hearing loss.
- CSI Level 1: Officer Walter Simmons (Omar Benson Miller) a Louisiana native and art theft specialist who transfers over from the night shift to join Horatio's team. His first appearance was in episode, "Bolt Action". He became part of the main cast in episode, "Dude, Where's My Groom?"
- CSI Level 3: Detective Eric Delko (Adam Rodríguez) is the fingerprint and drug identification expert of Cuban and Russian descent. He is also the team's underwater recovery expert. In "Shattered", Delko's job is endangered when he is arrested for drug possession, but it is discovered that the marijuana was for his sister, Marisol Delko Caine (Alana de la Garza), to ease the pain of her leukemia treatments, who was murdered by a Mala Noche sniper after she married Horatio Caine. In "Man Down", while trying to rescue a woman kidnapped by escapee Clavo Cruz (Gonzalo Menendez), Delko was shot in the head by one of his henchmen and critically wounded. He survived and went back on the team, but suffered some memory loss. In "And How Does That Make You Kill?", Eric told his psychiatrist of his affection for CSI Calleigh Duquesne. In "The DeLuca Motel", it is discovered that he has been staying in a motel because someone is following him. They found out that his real father is from Cuba and is trying to kill him. In "Seeing Red", Eric was trying to help his father and is seen escaping a gun silo, only to be shot at by friend Calleigh. He survives and is shown waking up in a hospital room in "Out of Time". Actor Adam Rodríguez did not return full time for the eighth season and was replaced by former CSI Jesse Cardoza (Eddie Cibrian). Delko shows that he is leaving by telling Calleigh that he is going to leave the CSI team because life is too short. On February 19, 2010, Adam Rodríguez announced on his Twitter page that he will be returning to the show as a regular. As of season 7 and season 8, he is in a romantic relationship with Calleigh Duquesne.
- CSI Level 3 Day Shift Assistant Supervisor: Lieutenant Megan Donner (Kim Delaney) was Horatio's predecessor who went on indefinite leave from her job following the death of her husband. She briefly returned to work alongside Horatio, who had since been promoted to head investigator of the CSI unit, but later resigned, finding the pressure of the job to now be more than she could handle. Some of this information appeared to be retconned early in the show's eighth season in an episode that featured flashbacks to the case that prompted the creation of the CSI squad; in the newly-established canon, Donner (who was mentioned but not seen in the episode) still worked at the lab, but the squad was headed by Horatio from its inception. Actress Kim Delaney's character was reportedly written out due to the lack of chemistry between her and Caruso.
- CSI Level 3: Detective Timothy (Tim) Speedle (Speed) (Rory Cochrane) was a trace evidence and impressions expert; originally from Syracuse, New York, who worked for the St. Petersburg PD in 1997, and had a degree in biology from Columbia University. Speed was killed in the line of duty in, "Lost Son;" he had not maintained his firearm diligently and was shot by a suspect when it misfired during a shoot-out. The character was written out at the request of actor Rory Cochrane, who wanted to pursue a career in film and reportedly disliked the long, arduous shooting schedules for CSI: Miami. The actor later reprised his role as a hallucination of Eric Delko in "Bang, Bang, Your Debt". It was revealed in "Out of Time", that Jesse Cardoza knew Tim Speedle, who was working for the St. Petersburg PD in 1997, and Cardoza asked Horatio if he wanted him to be part of his new team.
- MDPD Homicide Detective: Detective Yelina Salas (Sofia Milos) was a Colombian homicide detective frequently attached to CSI investigations, and the widow of Horatio's brother Raymond Caine. She later starts a relationship with IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler, Horatio's personal nemesis. After her husband Raymond was revealed to still be alive, she left with him and their son for Brazil, where they planned to keep a low profile for Ray's safety. She reappears in the fifth season premiere, "Rio". Horatio and Eric fly to Rio de Janeiro to hunt down Antonio Riaz, who murdered Horatio's wife and Delko's sister Marisol. While in Rio, Riaz kills Raymond Caine and is enlisting Ray Jr. into drug running in the shantytowns of the area. Yelina and Ray Jr. wind up back in Miami, and Yelina goes into business as a private investigator revealed in "Burned". In "Dangerous Son", Yelina investigates a suspect for Horatio, and she locates a birth certificate that reveals that the parolee is in fact Horatio's biological son. Yelina also returns for the seventh season premiere, going undercover to help Horatio capture enemy Ron Saris. She was kidnapped in the episode "Seeing Red", but was rescued by Horatio.
- Medical Examiner: Dr. Alexx Woods (Khandi Alexander) was a Miami-Dade medical examiner. Alexx began her medical career in New York as a physician and became a medical examiner with the CSI team after moving to Miami for personal reasons. She is a very emotional person, and is more of a "mother" figure for the CSI team, showing great concern for them. She also often talks to the dead bodies in a comforting and caring tone as she examines them. She is married with a son and daughter. In "Rock and A Hard Place", her son is named the prime suspect in a murder; this causes Alexx to rethink her job in the M.E.'s Office (and her place on the team as well as her friendship with the other CSI's), and she quits, saying to Horatio, "I need to spend more of my time taking care of the living." Horatio responds by saying that should she wish to return, her post would be open for her. Alexx returned in "Smoke Gets in Your CSI's" as a part time ER doctor at Dade General.
- Medical Examiner: Dr. Tara Price (Megalyn Echikunwoke) was the day-shift medical examiner who replaced Dr. Alexx Woods (Khandi Alexander) in the seventh season. She made her debut in "Won't Get Fueled Again" and became part of the main cast credits in "Bombshell". In "Cheating Death", CSIs Eric Delko and Ryan Wolfe play a joke on her which almost results in the entire case being compromised. In the end of "Divorce Party", Tara is shown to steal a bottle of Oxycodone (an opioid analgesic medication) from a victim in the morgue and blames it on Julia Winston. Also, Horatio Caine has his son Kyle working as an intern for her after he gets into trouble. In "Dissolved", Ryan Wolfe confronts Tara about the stolen pills in her locker. When Julia takes the autopsy hostage because of what she did, Tara is arrested. Actress Megalyn Echikunwoke's image was removed from the main cast credits after "Dissolved".
- CSI Level 2: Officer Jesse Cardoza (Eddie Cibrian) was a former LAPD officer, who transferred back to the MDPD. In "Out of Time", a flashback occurs back to 1997, depicting Cardoza's departure from the Miami crime lab and transfer to Los Angeles, following in the conclusion of a case which led to Horatio Caine becoming head of the new investigative unit that became CSI. He returns in "Hostile Takeover", as a member of the team, taking Eric Delko's place. When he returns, the lab is attacked and he is taken hostage along with three other people, but he was rescued by Horatio. After that, in the episode "Show Stopper", there was a discrepancy in the department's Hummer mileage log; Jesse did not explain it at first, but later on, in the lockerroom, he explained to Calleigh that he was following a woman and who was in danger from a man he'd dealt with in California, and that he'd transferred back to Miami because the man in question had also killed Cardoza's wife. In June 2010 it was announced that Cibrian was not picked up as a regular for the ninth season and his character would be leaving. It was revealed in the ninth season premiere that he died after being poisoned by halon gas in the eighth season finale, having suffered head trauma in the fall.
CSI: Miami has utilized an extensive cast of recurring characters on the show. Recurring characters can be found as technicians in the crime lab, as homicide detectives, as family members of main characters, and as villains, among others.
- "Cross Jurisdictions": CSI: Miami was spun off from this episode of the original CSI (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) TV series. In this episode, Catherine Willows and Warrick Brown of the original CSI travel to Miami while investigating the murder of Las Vegas' ex-chief of detectives.
- In addition, CSI: Miami has crossed over with CSI: NY. Characters from CSI: NY were originally featured in the second season of CSI: Miami in the episode, "MIA/NYC NonStop" that aired May 17, 2004.
- Miami crossed over a second time in the fourth season episode, "Felony Flight," that aired November 7, 2005 in which Mac Taylor flies from New York and comes to Miami to assist Horatio in tracking down a common nemesis named Henry Darius. The story was continued on CSI: NY in its second season episode called, "Manhattan Manhunt," that aired November 9, 2005, when Henry Darius escapes to New York and Horatio goes along with Mac to continue the investigation.
CSI: Miami has been named the World's Most Popular TV Show following rating studies of 20 countries worldwide, after NCIS. The 2006 survey, which was conducted by Informa Telecoms and Media, showed that CSI: Miami was featured in more top ten viewing charts than any other show. Also, in the same survey, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was shown to have high popularity, coming in at sixth place.
Like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami has spawned a series of comic books, novels, and video games based on the show. In addition, the show CSI: NY spun off from a second-season episode of CSI: Miami.

* The Region 4 releases of the first two seasons were initially divided up into two parts of 11 or 12 episodes before being released in full season DVD "fat packs", with large cases compared to the slimline cases DVD distributors opt for now. The release dates detailed here are for the re-released seasons in slimline cases. The two-part releases as well as the "fat pack" full season releases of the first two seasons were released much earlier than these re-releases. The subsequent seasons were first released in the slimline cases.
** = Dates for re-released slim line full season packaging; all half-seasons have been discontinued.
The CSI: Miami Region 2 DVD releases are released in two parts, the first part is released with 11, 12 or 13 episodes and then the second part is released containing the rest of the episodes and special features are split up between the two parts and on the same day that the second part is released they are available for purchase as a full season. All seasons have now been re-released in full.
CSI has also been released as a series of mobile games. In fall 2007, CBS teamed up with game developer Gameloft to bring CSI to mobile phones. The first of the series to be published was CSI: Miami. The game features actual cast members such as Horatio Caine, Alexx Woods and Calleigh Duquesne who are trying to solve a murder in South Beach with the player's assistance. The game is also available for download on various iPod devices.
In spring 2008Gameloft and CBS released CSI: Crime Scene Investigation – The Mobile Game which is based on the original series in Las Vegas, NV. This game introduces the unique ability to receive calls during the game to provide tips and clues about crime scenes and evidence. As for the storyline, the game developers collaborated with Anthony E. Zuiker (the series creator) to ensure that the plot and dialogue were aligned with the show's style.

AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) – Although the coronavirus pandemic remains an issue at the forefront of the lives of those in the United States and the world at large, there have also been advancements in preventative measures and treatment, including vaccines, antiviral treatments, and monoclonal antibody infusions.
Here’s an overview of vaccines, testing, and treatment for COVID-19 in the Amarillo area.
Vaccines and booster shots
As explained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are currently four approved or authorized vaccines in the US used to prevent COVID-19, including:
- Pfizer-BioNTech (mRNA vaccine)
- Moderna (mRNA vaccine)
- Novavax (protein subunit vaccine)
- Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen (viral vector vaccine)
In Amarillo, the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are the most commonly available and those offered by the Amarillo Public Health Department. The “primary series” for each vaccine consists of two doses that are at least 21 (Pfizer-BioNTech) to 28 (Moderna) days apart. However, for people who are considered moderately to severely immunocompromised, their “primary series” also includes a third dose before they are considered fully vaccinated.
At least five months after the primary series, or two months for those who have received the J&J vaccine, those who have received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, recipients may be eligible for booster shots. Immunocompromised people were recommended to receive booster doses at least three months after their primary series.
More information on the COVID-19 vaccines and boosters can be found on the Amarillo Public Health Department website. Further, free COVID-19 vaccinations are offered at the department’s facility at 850 Martin Rd on a walk-in basis, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
The Amarillo City Transit system also offers free rides to the Amarillo Public Health Department COVID-19 vaccination clinic and can be requested by calling 806-378-3095.
Alongside the Amarillo Public Health Department, pharmacies such as CVS and Walgreens and other clinics also offer COVID-19 vaccines, including:
- Amarillo Family Physicians
- Amigos Pharmacy
- Care Xpress Urgent Care
- CVS Pharmacy
- Martin-Tipton Pharmacy, LLC
- Market Street Pharmacy
- Sam’s Club Pharmacy
- United Pharmacy
- Walgreens Pharmacy
- Walmart Pharmacy
The CDC also announced new recommendations earlier in September for updated COVID-19 booster shots, which focus on the new “bivalent” booster shot now available to those 12 years of age and older.
Because of a lack of Congressional funding, according to the COVID.gov website, the free at-home test program from the US government was suspended at the beginning of September. However, at-home tests and antigen tests for COVID-19 are still available through retailers, pharmacies, and free testing sites.
The Amarillo Public Health Department hosts a drive-thru testing site available free of charge and open on weekdays. A department operator with further information on testing through the City of Amarillo can be reached at 806-378-6300.
Outside of Amarillo’s Public Health Department, other COVID-19 testing locations include health centers, independent pharmacies, and businesses such as CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart, among others. The Texas Department of Emergency Management has published resources for finding further testing sites across communities.
As noted by the health department, key times to get tested for COVID-19 include:
- If a person has symptoms;
- If a person was exposed to COVID-19 and does not have symptoms, they should test at least five full days after exposure;
- Those in certain high-risk settings may need to test as part of a screening program;
- Those who may soon be in contact with someone at high risk for severe COVID-19, especially in areas with medium or high COVID-19 community levels.
More information on testing, isolation and precautions, and post-test COVID-19 result instructions can be found here.
As described by the Amarillo Public Health Department, healthcare providers may prescribe COVID-19 treatments to eligible patients that can reduce the chance of being hospitalized or dying from the disease. Those more likely to experience severe illness from COVID-19 include older adults, people who have certain medical conditions such as weakened immune systems, and unvaccinated people.
The FDA issued emergency use authorizations for certain antiviral medications and monoclonal antibodies to treat mild to moderate COVID-19 in eligible patients:
- Antiviral treatments work to target specific parts of the virus to stop it from multiplying
- Monoclonal antibodies work to help the immune system recognize and respond to the virus, though this may make them less effective against COVID-19 variants
Treatment locations can be found through the COVID-19 Therapeutics Locator.
Other COVID-19 treatments include Paxlovid, according to the health department:
- Oral antivirals are available by prescription only
- Authorized for patients who are experiencing mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms
- Treatment must be started within five days of the initial onset of COVID-19 symptoms
- Patients who are not hospitalized
- Paxlovid is available for those who are 12 years or older and weigh at least 88 pounds
Outside of COVID-19-specific treatments, the health department noted that most people with COVID-19 are able to recover at home and can use either the Coronavirus Self-Checker to assist in deciding whether or not to seek care. Otherwise, symptoms can often be helped using over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil).

Why this Irish mother let her son dress as a witch for Halloween - and Elsa from Frozen
There's been a lot of conversation online in recent months around little boys, in particular, choosing toys that some people would consider to be for girls.
In a number of instances, their parents reaction to their choice has gone viral, racking up millions of views on sites like Facebook.
Ellen Butler (28), spoke to Independent.ie about why she allows her son Lewis(3) to dress up as a witch, a princess of even Elsa from Frozen.
Butler says that Lewis' choices are more about "having fun" and playing with his sister than his sexuality.
"To him, when he dresses as a princess, it's role play. It's not feminine to him, it's just mirroring his favourite characters".
"Girls can dress up as pirates and nobody says a word.. but you put a boy in a sparkly dress and people panic".
This Halloween, Lewis wanted to go as a witch, and Butler says she doesn't care if "people don't like it".
"He wanted to go as a witch... his saw his sister do it the night before".
Butler spoke to Lewis' preschool teacher who told her that none of his classmates batted an eye at his choice of costume.
"Adults would be like, 'oh look at that boy in a dress' but kids don't care".
Butler says that Lewis often wants to copy his big sister Lavena(4).
"When I paint his sister's nails... he asks for one. That's fine - it's just one!"
"It's not going to turn him gay... it's just having fun".
Butler says that there's a difference between allowing kids to choose any toy and asking them to choose their gender.
"I don't agree with those parents letting their kids be gender neutral or letting them choose their own gender, that's parents putting their gender issues on the kids... I watched a documentary about it. To the kids it's just role-playing".
Butler thinks that people are "more harsh on boys" than they are on girls.
"He's now asking for the Barbie shopping till, while (his sister) is off playing with tractors but nobody says anything to her!".

There are a number of interchangeable male actors who inexplicably seem to be dominating the Hollywood scene these days. Some have been more successful than others, some have stuck to indies or sci-fi blockbusters, and they all look like Sam Worthington. The latest upcoming World War II-set historical romance features the Sam Worthington who is Jai Courtney, star of Terminator: Salvation and Suicide Squad, who plays a Nazi officer who falls in love with a Dutch-born Jewish woman while he is investigating Kaiser Wilhelm.
Just when we thought Jai Courtney was officially the movies’ responsibility to make happen, Netflix brings him boomeranging back. The Suicide Squad star has officially joined Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later in role that feels oddly true-to-life.
It’s hardly a secret that the American military has no idea what to do with its veterans, often leaving the traumatized men to fall through the cracks due to a lack of support. As the newly released trailer for the upcoming action-drama Man Down amply shows, soldier Gabriel Drummer (Shia LaBeouf, mercifully free of his American Honey rat-tail) has more than his fair share of baggage when he returns home from an extended tour of duty in an unidentified conflict. But he’ll have to contend with more than poverty and the guilt over watching his brother-in-arms (Jai Courtney) die; turns out that while he was away fighting to protect it, America went right to hell anyway.
The box-office records it demolished over the weekend aren’t the only broken parts of Suicide Squad. For all its admittedly impressive financial success, the movie’s story is shockingly incoherent, and that’s when the film has a story at all. Sure, Will Smith was great and Margot Robbie made an impressively committed Harley Quinn. But in much the same way the Suicide Squad is held hostage in Midway City by sinister bureaucrats, Smith, Robbie, and company are trapped in a movie that gives them very little play and makes even less sense.
If you interview the star of a major franchise and you don’t ask them about the future of said franchise, then did your interview ever really happen at all? We may never know the answer to such existential journalistic questions, but thanks to a new interview, we now know how Jai Courtney feels about the possibility of making more Terminator movies. The answer: No…but maybe yes?
Yesterday, Entertainment Weekly revealed four new covers featuring the cast of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, which has taken over the latest edition of the magazine. As you probably assumed, that was just the tip of the iceberg, as even more new photos have arrived showing off the full rogues gallery (along with Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller) from the highly-anticipated anti-hero team-up.
Suicide Squad is one of our most anticipated films of the summer — mostly because after a few months of watching heroes save the world in big blockbusters, it’ll be fun to see a team of villains swoop in to shake things up. If Amanda Waller is to be believed in these new TV spots, these guys (and a couple of ladies) are the worst of the worst, but maybe that’s what we need right now.
Recent news of Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn spinoff confirms what we already assumed: she’s the best part of Suicide Squad. But if a new rumor proves to be true, she may not be the only charismatic member of Task Force X, as Warner Bros. might be considering giving a couple of her villainous co-stars spinoffs of their very own. To be honest, a Captain Boomerang solo movie doesn’t seem like something that would ever actually happen, but WB has done wackier things in recent years.
Reshoots or no, the latest trailer for Suicide Squad debuted tonight during the 2016 MTV Movie Awards, offering a new sneak peek at David Ayer’s gritty super villain team-up. Packed with action, the trailer offered some new footage of DC’s Worst...
Not long after the negative reviews and underwhelming box office returns for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice began rolling in, so did some interesting reports from Warner Bros. One of those reports suggested that David Ayer is doing some reshoots on Suicide Squad to make the film more humorous — a direct response to criticisms of Zack Snyder’s bleak superhero epic. According to Jai Courtney, who plays Captain Boomerang in the upcoming anti-hero team-up, that’s not accurate…but it’s also what you might expect him to say.

Dublin Pride Parade
The one event we can confirm is the Pride Parade, which will be held on Saturday the 27th of June 2015.
Assembly for the parade will start at 12 noon and the parade will begin moving through Dublin at 1:30pm sharp. It will start at the Garden of Remembrance at Parnell Square, and proceed through the streets of Dublin ending in Merrion Square. The exact route will be confirmed in the coming weeks.


On the last Bears' touchdown drive, it took Michael Bush 4 attempts from a yard out to get into the end zone, clearly dispelling the notion that he's a short-yardage specialist.
His 7 carries Sunday against the St. Louis Rams totaled minus-5 yards, and for the season he has 69 yards on 42 carries, a 1.6-yard average with a long run of 9 yards.
"Michael Bush was pretty effective a few weeks ago in Green Bay (7 carries for 25 yards, a 3.6-yard average)," coach Marc Trestman said. "It's not just Michael. It's everybody working together. There's a lot more involved. There's blocking, there's angles, there's double-teams."
On the Bears' first possession of the second half, Trestman went for the touchdown on fourth-and-goal at the Rams' one-yard line, but Bush was thrown for a 4-yard loss.
Tight end Martellus Bennett said the goal line failures were more a problem with execution than anything else.
"Goal line doesn't come down to the plays drawn up," Bennett said. "It comes down to guys just having (guts) and just going down and (playing) smash-mouth football. It's not really about the way it's diagramed or anything like that. It's about everybody just digging in and doing what you can.
"Those guys are trying to penetrate, and everybody needs to get low and just go straight ahead and knock a guy out."
Quarterback Jay Cutler (ankle) and linebacker Lance Briggs won't play this week, but coach Marc Trestman is "optimistic" that running back Matt Forte will not miss a game with a slight hyperextension of his knee. Forte rushed for 77 yards on 16 carries against the Rams (4.8-yard average) and caught 7 passes for 40 yards (5.7-yard average).
"Jay remains week to week, and there's nothing other than a high ankle sprain involved here, I want to make that very clear," said Marc Trestman, who expects Cutler back, although he's not sure when.
"I'm totally confident he'll play again this season," the coach said. "I don't have any reason based on what I've been told (to think he won't). I think Jay is confident. There is no underlying information here. It's week-to-week with the understanding that at some point in time, on a week-to-week basis, that he'll be back."
Defensive tackle Stephen Paea will test his turf toe on Wednesday, and defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff "will continue to practice and we'll evaluate him through the week," Trestman said.
Close for a while:
When the Bears cut the Rams' lead to 27-21 with 7:15 remaining Sunday, they appeared poised to complete what would have been an impressive comeback after trailing by 14 twice and 13 once.
But the Rams had little difficulty slicing through the Bears' defense for 80 yards in seven plays and a touchdown with 4:10 to play to secure the victory.
"We were trying to get to a point where, when we kicked off, we could take a stand," coach Marc Trestman said. "We just didn't get it done for a number of reasons, and there's no one guy who's responsible. We always say, 'If it's one, it's all,' and each and every guy has got to be in the right spot.
"Everybody takes equal accountability in getting it done. We didn't do it."

A Culinary Community with Megan Sanchez
While Güero chef Megan Sanchez embraces her Egyptian and Mexican heritage in her food, it’s how she marries cuisine and a community of women in Portland that makes her restaurant a stand-out.
Released on 10/15/2019
[cheerful folk music]
Food cart culture in Portland is really cool
because the city does create this way
of making it not impossible for you set your thing up
and try your thing out and see how people respond to it.
I'm Megan Sanchez
and I'm the chef of Guero in Portland, Oregon.
My mom's Egyptian and my dad's an Angelino
of Mexican descent.
I love Mexican food and cooking both sides of my history.
There is a spirit of just doing it here
that takes vulnerability
and I think there's a lot of really powerful
and creative women here
who also know that vulnerability and see it in each other
and it creates a sort of magnet for that.
The community of women here in Portland,
there's so many layers of people inside
and outside the industry that have come around
to just make this restaurant what it is.
I love Nong. [giggling]
I love her because she was a few steps ahead of us
in the food cart
and then transitioned to brick and mortar game really
and her story's really inspirational.
Maya Lovelace is another young woman
who just had a vision and knew what she wanted to do
and executed it.
Naomi Pomeroy is an icon in Portland
and in the chef community.
She's incredibly innovative.
Kara from Vibrant Valley Farm,
yeah, she has a gorgeous farm on Sauvie Island
and driving out there to pick up produce
is like the best part of my week.
Megan from Fieldwork Flowers does all of our arrangements
and we've been working together since we started here
and I think the plants in here
have become sort of why people come.
It's like a little tropical escape
from the rainy weather we have here in Portland.
We feel like her work just fits so nicely
with what we do here.
Jennifer, her store has the most gorgeous artifacts.
It's like art that we get to use in the kitchen.
When people come in here and eat for the first time,
I want them to feel like they're at our home.
The carnitas torta's been on our menu
since day one in the food cart and people love it.
It's sort of the people's favorite.
We've really made a family
out of the community we have on this street
and around this restaurant.
I feel like what makes it a whole thing worth existing
is all of these other contributions from these women,
the ceramics, the flowers, the produce, of course,
and that's where you get something really special.

Rod Dreher writes a post on preparing his children to go to France by researching local customs; naturally, the comments section fills up with complaints about how rude Americans abroad are. I haven't been contrarian for oh, at least 18 hours, so let me make a counterargument: Americans aren't any ruder than any other group. They're just more numerous.
I've spent a bit of time working abroad, and a fair amount of time travelling there, and it is, of course, true that one sees rude Americans in many place. There they are, asking questions in English louder and louder as if they can communicate by volume what they lack in the way of local idiom. Or sprawling out and taking up too much space in a crowded restaurant. Yes, I have cringed listening to Americans complain about how much smaller and dingier everything is compared to home. And compared to, say, the French, our voices sure do carry, don't they? How about you turn it down to 11, DJ USA?
But you know who's also kind of loud? Groups of Australians, drunk Germans, British soccer fans. You know who also spends a lot of time complaining about how crap everything is in a foreign country? Almost every nationality of tourist I ever encountered in New York--and yes, that joke about how Americans are all monolingual is really funny, but unfortunately, given the forty minute rant you just delivered about the poor quality of our food, public transit, street cleaning, portion size, fashion sense and exercise regimes, not actually true. For that matter, I have sat behind parties of Brits and Irish running through the same sort of litany. Presumably, they think we talk so loud because we're all deaf.
Judging from my experiences abroad, we're rather less prone to committing drunken assaults, or vomiting in the gutter, than some nationalities I could mention. And I've never witnessed Americans lecture foreign tourists on their nation's crime rate, foreign policy, or welfare state--something that I've seen inflicted on Americans multiple times, including me. On the flip side, I've seen Americans go far out of their way to help lost tourists or make them feel at home--something that hasn't been true of the locals in every country I've visited. An American, upon hearing a tourist's foreign accent, is apt to be fascinated and eager to talk. An American accent rarely has the same charm abroad.
This does not, of course, mean that all foreigners are drunken boors. Every nationality has some genuinely rude people: the kind who think that everything is better at home and foreigners are rather stupid and backwards. Some of those people travel, and some of the rest inflict their bad manners on tourists. I'm sure there are Americans who say dreadful things to tourists; I just haven't happened to be there when it happened, because I don't spend that much time around tourists. And of course, most of the people I've met in every country have been perfectly nice, helpful souls of courtesy.
To be sure, there probably are more rude American tourists abroad, simply because there are more Americans, particularly more Americans with the money for package tours. But the legend is enhanced by the fact that everyone thinks that Americans are rude. When they see a rude American, therefore, they chalk it up to our nationality, while Italian and Spanish and British jerks are just jerks.
Moreover, not all of the identified "rudeness" is actually rude; it's just different customs. It's not rude for an American to talk louder, handle a fork in a different way, slouch in their chair, or prefer their beer cold. It's not even ridiculous--certainly no more ridiculous than someone thinking that their own very local tastes were handed down by God along with the ten commandments. Over the years, I have heard an inordinate amount about the American practice of wearing clothing emblazoned with the name of their college, as if it were somehow offensive to bring a Notre Dame sweatshirt into such close proximity with the Mona Lisa. If you wouldn't mount the same complaint about someone showing up at the Louvre in a shalwar kameez, then please, stop with the damn sweatshirts. We, too, are entitled to our local sartorial customs.
What we are is kind of parochial and not all that well dressed, but these are not actually crimes against manners. The fact is that local norms differ, and it's not reasonable to expect that any group of tourists will have mastered all of them before they venture abroad. There's a difference between genuine rudeness of the kind that everyone should know not to engage in--like vomiting in the street, or asking "Why does your country suck so much?"--and simple ignorance of how it's done here. Many tourists are not so adept at conforming to America's very strict customs about standing in line, but are they really rude? Or do they just not realize that they're violating the local rules?
America is bigger than most countries, and also, isolated from everyone except Mexico and Canada by a lot of land and a very large ocean. This means that we spend relatively more time travelling around our own nation, and relatively less time travelling abroad, and so we've had less time to accustom ourselves to other ways.
It is, of course, polite to try to conform as much as possible to the local customs--but it is also polite to understand that people will make mistakes. In America, the well-mannered way to handle these little frictions is to make allowances for differences between countries, and usually, to ask them where they're from and how they're enjoying their trip. But of course, I understand that local custom may vary.

Japan probes Apple's iTunes over bogus credit bills
Japanese authorities plan to summon Apple officials this week over complaints that its iTunes online store has billed customers for downloads they never made, officials said Monday.
In at least 95 cases in Japan involving five major credit card companies, iTunes customers said they had sometimes been charged thousands of dollars, they said.
"We have seen such cases increasing, notably since autumn last year," said an official with Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency.
"The damage in those cases seems to range from a few hundred yen to several hundred thousand yen (from several dollars to several thousand dollars)."
Its iTunes offers downloads of music, games, videos and iPhone applications.
The agency official said that in one case "a woman who registered her ID and credit card number on the music download site several years ago but hadn't used it in recent years received bills of purchases that she wasn't aware of".
"The amount of money she was charged over several bills totalled more than 100,000 yen (1,100 dollars)," he said.
Japan's industry and communications ministries have joined the investigation and are looking into whether personal data has been stolen. They have advised customers to carefully check their bills and report any suspicious orders.

Nadine Kaslow, PhD, Emory School of Medicine professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, founded in the early 1990s the Grady Nia Project for abused and suicidal African-American women. Named for the Kwanzaa term that means “purpose,” Nia serves countless numbers of abused women who come through Grady Memorial Hospital’s emergency department each year.
The program is funded by grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Mental Health, and Kaslow serves as principal investigator. Kaslow also serves as chief psychologist at Grady Memorial Hospital and holds a joint appointment in the Departments of Psychology, Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine, and the Rollins School of Public Health.
Kaslow says the women in the Nia program, who either feel suicidal or have attempted suicide because of stress associated with violence, are victims of intimate partner violence and are usually black, minimally employed, with children and addicted to drugs and alcohol. Many are homeless.
Nia is staffed 24/7. Some staffers may make a trip to the emergency department in the middle of the night when a woman comes in with injuries or a story consistent with intimate partner violence or when she has attempted suicide. If a woman enrolls in the program, she will join approximately 50 to 75 other women who are going through it at any given time.
Nia is different from other programs for abused women in that it never terminates a woman from the program. Some programs kick out women if they go back to their abusers or have a drug or alcohol problem. In such case, women facing these challenges can see this site for valuable guidance and support.
On a more positive note, the women who participate in Nia have made some progress over time, says Kaslow. They feel more positive about themselves and better able to cope with stress. They feel less depressed, anxious and suicidal. Some remain in the program for years, and others stop by when they need extra support and guidance.
Kaslow notes, “The women in the Nia Project have all had very sad and traumatic lives. . . . Their stories are poignant and touching. But what inspires me about them is their strength and courage. It is their resilience that we must help them to capitalize on.”


Sarina Wiegman limbered up for her first trip to Wearside by watching the Netflix documentary series Sunderland ‘Til I die. It is, in part, a cautionary tale about pride coming before a fall but, on this evidence, there seems little danger of England suffering a collapse in any way comparable to Sunderland’s painful tumble from the Premier League to League One.
Under the tutelage of the former Netherlands coach, the Lionesses have won their first five qualifiers for the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, scoring 33 goals and conceding none along the way to move five points clear at the top of Group D.
Austria, ranked 21st in the world to England’s eighth, represented their toughest test to date, with Ellen White’s 45th goal for her country separating two sides who will meet again at Old Trafford in July as the curtain rises on the European Championships.
If they are to prosper in that tournament England will need to be rather less ponderous in possession than they were on Saturday but, in mitigation, the game was affected by a horrendously cold and capricious wind whipping in from the North Sea, variously supplemented by icy rain, hail, sleet and snow.
Storm Arwen restricted the attendance to 9,159, but everyone who braved the elements and trekked to the Stadium of Light on a day when much local public transport was suspended deserves a medal.
They were treated to a stellar performance from Fran Kirby on an afternoon when too many teammates frustrated. “We had some hard moments,” Wiegman said. “We value the clean sheet.
“Although we dominated possession, it was a tough game against a tough opponent, dangerous on the counterattack.”
Kirby has expressed disappointment about not being able to replicate her Chelsea form in an England shirt, but you would not have noticed that deficiency here.
Although operating in a deeper role than she habitually occupies for her club, it did not take long for the brightest star in Wiegman’s firmament to once again prove that she is capable of shaping a game and dictating play from almost anywhere.
No prizes for guessing that virtually all of England’s better moments arrived after Kirby’s vision and technique from the right of midfield permitted her to pick a defence-splitting pass or cross.
Whenever Kirby was joining the dots, the immensely gifted Lauren Hemp raised her game, showing off wonderfully quick feet while disorientating Austria’s otherwise stubborn defence courtesy of some incisive link-up play.
Even so, bar saving one left foot shot from Kirby, Manuela Zinsberger was underworked until the 39th minute when Hemp and Kirby combined to unpick that durable visiting defensive lock. All that remained was for a stretching White to arrive in the right place at the right time and extend a foot to steer a half-volley beyond the Arsenal goalkeeper.
“Ellen’s so alert in the box,” said Wiegman. “She’s really consistent, really special and a real team player.”
White’s goal left a striker presented with her 100th cap before kick off one short of Kelly Smith’s all-time England scoring record. Had she reacted a millisecond faster as an inviting cross from Hemp came her way before half-time she could have equalled that milestone; instead, Zinsberger was able to divert the danger.
As good as Kirby was, England moved the ball too slowly and their continued failure to pass at speed almost cost them dear in a largely underwhelming second half, which raised certain concerns about the strength and dynamism of the central midfield.
Accordingly, after spending the opening 45 minutes endeavouring to keep warm, Mary Earps was finally called to arms, saving smartly from Barbara Dunst and Maria Plattner as they threatened to equalise.
“The two saves from Mary Earps were such important moments,” Wiegman said.
For a while after that a Lionesses XI captained for the first time by Millie Bright experienced an attack of the sort of defensive wobbles not seen since the latter days of Phil Neville’s tenure, appearing incapable of clearing their lines.
Nonetheless, they were unlucky not to double their advantage when Carina Wenninger brought down Beth Mead. A penalty beckoned but the referee, Kateryna Monzul, was not buying it.
Mead had reason to feel aggrieved but, overall, she failed to fully impose herself and, like Ella Toone, may face a fight to preserve a starting place. Rachel Daly continues to deputise for the injured Lucy Bronze at right-back and her shot forced a decent save from Zinsberger as England otherwise dropped worryingly deep and their manager shivered on the sidelines.
Wiegman must hope it will be warmer in Doncaster on Tuesday when Latvia visit and White gets another crack at breaking Smith’s record.

The Government of Botswana is driving the country’s annual Desert Race, as part of efforts to put Botswana on the sports tourism map.
Established in 1975, the Toyota Kalahari Botswana 1000 Desert Race (TDR), hosted by the Botswana Tourism Organisation, has grown to become the most popular and lucrative sporting event in the country.
Acting PR and Communications Manager of TDR, Samuel Lephalo, says the success of the desert race is that it is seen as a sporting adventure, attracting international visitors, with sport being a useful tool to draw tourists to Botswana. “Sporting adventure involves a lot of participation from…different participants across the globe. Therefore, the government took this initiative to explore different avenues as well as penetrate other markets that we previously didn’t have the opportunity to [enter]. So this has given us the platform to market our country even further.”
Lephalo says the TDR has a significant impact on the economy and other tourism stakeholders in the country. “If you look at the number of people that the event attracts – accommodation facilities benefit; facilities like fuelling stations benefit; even the community benefits in that they are able to sell different services as well as arts and crafts during this event.”
Over 120 000 spectators bring in excess of €400 000 in foreign exchange to the country each year, with this year’s event taking place from June 21 to 23.

Cincinnati Preservation Board Endorses
Park Levy Charter Amendment
(CINCINNATI, OHIO) At its September meeting the Board of Trustees of Cincinnati Preservation Association endorsed the Cincinnati Parks Property Tax Levy.
The board noted that our park system is one of Cincinnati’s most significant historic resources and, as such, adds a great deal to the character and vitality of the region. The charter amendment will provide steady funding to enhance and maintain the parks and the structures within them. The parks themselves are historic cultural resources and the historic buildings within the parks are also an essential component of a visitor’s experience. The funding from the levy will ensure that future generations will also be able to enjoy these unique treasures.
The Cincinnati Parks 1907 Master Plan by George Kessler was a visionary concept which sought to weave the park system into the fabric of the city. The plan as implemented achieved much of that goal and today, one hundred and eight years later, we continue to derive cultural, health and economic benefits from our outstanding park system. It is time to ensure that they are cared for in a sustainable manner.
Revitalizing our parks is a catalyst for neighborhoods. The work at Washington Park helped transform the area into an inviting, dynamic urban setting. Many other neighborhoods are poised to experience similar improvements as parks are restored under the charter amendment.
The plan of work calls for renovation of many parks and historic landmarks within them. The low annual cost ($35 per $100,000 of valuation), the Cincinnati Park Board’s proven record of careful use of public dollars, and the $5.5 million annual amount that will be used for park repairs and improvements, are all reasons for CPA’s endorsement of the Park Levy Charter Amendment. CPA encourages all Cincinnati voters to support Issue 22, the Park Levy, at the polls this November 3rd.
“We believe our parks warrant the long term, steady support this amendment establishes,” said Mary Piper, CPA Board President. “Historic buildings and landscapes should be cared for and maintained without the uncertainty of annual budgets.”
Founded in 1964, CPA (formerly known as the Miami Purchase Association for Historic Preservation) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advocacy and education for the preservation of the historic built environment in the Greater Cincinnati area. More information about CPA is available at www.cincinnatipreservation.org.

2015 is a month way. And, if by chance you’re reading this sometime not around the beginning of a new year it still applies.
I recently read an article (see it here) about Google CEO Larry Page and how they call him “the most ambitious CEO in the universe.”
I’m not hip on all the news of the tech world. I have no opinions of who the good, bad and the ugly are in that world. I am a guy who has an outsiders take on this Larry Page guy.
Let’s get a couple things out of the way.
- He’s not normal. He co-founded Google. He’s brilliant.
- He’s incredibly focused and organized.
- He’s an introvert.
Most of us miss the mark on #1 and #2. And, approximately 50% of the population is introverted. I bring this up because many people think you can’t be an introvert and a massively successful leader. So, whether your introverted or not you can be a solid leader.
This post today is not about introverts vs. extroverts, though. It’s about playing big as the leader of your organization. I have one goal for this article: Get you to hear “That’ll Never Happen” more often.
Here’s an excerpt from the article linked above,
Google’s original mission—“to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”—once seemed preposterously audacious. Today that vision “is probably a bit too narrow,” Page says. He wants the company he co-founded as a Stanford grad student to continue altering the world in ways unimaginable to most.
That’ll Never Happen
“Unimaginable to most,” is the key. Here are a two projects Google is working on that once seemed “unimaginable to most.”
- High Tech Ballons that float in the stratosphere that beam down broadband so the internet can be provided to all of humanity.
- Nanoparticles that are ‘painted’ and ingested via a pill. These nanoparticles would bind to cancer cells when they form and give us the ability to detect diseases when they manifest.
That’ll never happen.
So, You’re Not Larry Page
You’re not a brilliant Stanford grad who co-founded Google. You don’t have a secret research facility known as GoogleX where the best and brightest scientists from around the world want to work. You don’t have tens of billions of dollars in a sock to fund your ideas.
You’re not Larry Page.
You are you and that’s all you need.
Write down your vision for 2015. What goals do you have for yourself or your company? Are they foolish to others? Will they elicit the “That’ll never happen” response from others? If not, rethink them.
I’m re-thinking mine and you should too. Instead of having a record setting year for your company, try turning your industry upside down. Shake it up. Do what nobody has done before.

Larry Page has his critics. There are plenty of people who think he’s crazy.

How will you push your organization ahead? Let’s hear it. Share in the comments and then take action.
