NCIS is an American police procedural drama television series, revolving around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which conducts criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
The concept and characters were initially introduced in two episodes of the CBS series JAG (season eight episodes "Ice Queen" and "Meltdown"). The show, a spin-off from JAG, premiered on September 23, 2003, on CBS. To date it has aired for ten full seasons and has gone into broadcast syndication on USA Network. Donald P. Bellisario is co-creator, along with Don McGill, as well as executive producer.
NCIS was originally referred to as Navy NCIS during season one; "Navy" was later dropped from the title as it was redundant. In season seven, NCIS was joined by a spin-off series, NCIS: Los Angeles, starring Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J.
In 2011, NCIS was voted America's favorite television show.[1] On February 1, 2013, CBS renewed NCIS for an 11th season.[2] The series finished its tenth season as the most-watched television series in the U.S. during the 2012–13 TV season.[3]

NCIS follows a fictional team of Naval Criminal Investigative Service Major Case Response Team (MCRT)[4] special agents headquartered at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. It is described by the actors and producers (on special features on DVD releases in the United States) as being distinguished by its comedic elements, ensemble acting, and character-driven plots.
NCIS is the primary law enforcement and counterintelligence arm of the United States Department of the Navy, which includes the United States Marine Corps. NCIS investigates all major criminal offenses (felonies)—i.e., crimes punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice by confinement of more than one year—within the Department of the Navy. The MCRT is frequently assigned to high-profile cases such as the death of the U.S. president's military aide, a bomb situation on a U.S. Navy warship, the death of a celebrity on a reality show set on a US Marine Corps base, terrorist threats involving U.S Naval and Marine weapons and/or Naval or Marine installations, and kidnappings of Navy and Marine Corps personnel.
The MCRT is led by Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Gibbs' team is composed of Special Agent and Senior Field Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), and Special Agent (former Mossad liaison officer) Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), who replaced Caitlin "Kate" Todd (Sasha Alexander) when she was shot and killed by rogue Mossad agent Ari Haswari (Rudolf Martin) at the end of season two. The team is assisted in their investigations by Chief Medical Examiner Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), his assistant Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen), who replaced Gerald Jackson (Pancho Demmings), and Forensic Specialist Abigail "Abby" Sciuto (Pauley Perrette).
It is revealed, through flashbacks, that the head of the MCRT before Gibbs was Special Agent Mike Franks (Muse Watson), who led the unit when it was part of the Naval Investigative Service (NIS), the predecessor agency of the NCIS. Franks recruited Gibbs shortly after Gibbs' retirement from the Marine Corps, eventually retiring himself some years later. After Franks' departure, Gibbs recruited DiNozzo from the Baltimore Police Department's Homicide Section. The two were briefly joined by Vivian Blackadder (Robyn Lively), whom Gibbs recruited from the FBI. In the second part of the NCIS pilot, Blackadder allowed her emotions to nearly derail an anti-terror operation in Spain. Gibbs is noticeably disappointed; Blackadder is not present in the series' first regular episode, replaced by Caitlin Todd, a Secret Service agent who joins Gibbs' team after resigning from the Secret Service. Todd is eventually killed in the line of duty in the season two finale, and is ultimately replaced by Ziva David, who from season three to season seven is the Mossad liaison officer who eventually gains American citizenship and becomes a full agent. McGee first appears as a Field Agent assigned to the Norfolk Field Office. He uses his computer skills to aid the MCRT in subsequent investigations through the rest of season one, until he is officially promoted with his own desk at the Navy Yard in the beginning of season two.
NCIS is currently led by Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll). The first director seen in the series, Thomas Morrow (Alan Dale), left after being promoted to Deputy Director of the Department of Homeland Security. Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) was appointed director after Morrow in the first episode of season three, the first NCIS director to be in the regular series cast list. After Shepard was killed in a shootout at the end of season five, Vance—who was assistant director of NCIS before her death—was seen as acting director after her death and was promoted to take her place.

- Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) is Special Agent in Charge of the Major Case Response Team. He was a sniper in the United States Marine Corps, achieving the rank of gunnery sergeant, until 1991 when his first wife Shannon and daughter Kelly were killed by a Mexican drug dealer.[8] Gibbs killed the drug dealer in Mexico, after being told by Special Agent Mike Franks where to find him, and joined NIS, later renamed NCIS, initially training under Franks.[9] After Franks' retirement, Gibbs became the agent in charge of the MCRT. He has been married four times, but is currently single, which is often referred to on the show. He also has a difficult relationship with his father. Gibbs and Director Shepard had a romantic relationship in the past, shown through the use of flashbacks. He is seen as somewhat of a fatherly figure to Abby and later to Ziva. Due to his senior status at NCIS, he has also carried out tasks at a higher level, such as becoming a temporary acting director for the entire agency.
- Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) is the Senior Special Agent of the Major Case Response Team at NCIS. He is a former Peoria, Philadelphia, and Baltimore police officer and detective. After working on a case with Gibbs while he was a detective with Baltimore PD, he discovered his best friend and partner was a dirty cop and quit from the police and joined NCIS in 2001.[10] Ducky considers DiNozzo to be a younger version of Gibbs, using his "gut" to solve cases (e.g., in the episode "Collateral Damage").[11] Considered a notorious womanizer, his behavior even irritates the females he works with, although his behavior has been shown to change as the character developed. DiNozzo is a movie enthusiast and often uses movie references when discussing a case, which irritates his coworkers.
- Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) is a Junior Special Agent on the Major Case Response Team since season seven. For her first four years in the show, she was a part of the NCIS team as a Mossad Liaison Officer. David replaced Special Agent Kate Todd, who was killed by David's half-brother, Ari. She later killed Ari to save Gibbs' life; by doing so she earned Gibbs' trust. In the season seven premiere, "Truth or Consequences", David is rescued from North Africa by Gibbs, DiNozzo, and McGee, where she had been held captive during a mission for Mossad. David eventually returned to the U.S. and resigned from Mossad, subsequently becoming a probationary NCIS agent and a US citizen, and (in the season nine premiere) then a full-fledged agent.
- Abigail "Abby" Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) is a forensics specialist working with the Major Case Response Team. She has an affinity for goth fashion and a passion for Caf-Pow, a fictional high caffeine beverage. She has a close friendship with McGee, and claims to be Gibbs' favorite.[12]
- Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) is a Special Agent on the Major Case Response Team. He has a degree in computer forensics from MIT and a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins, and, along with Abby Sciuto (with whom he was briefly intimate and remains close friends), acts as the team's technology specialist. McGee was originally assigned to the Norfolk Naval Base, but became a permanent team member at the end of the season two opening episode, "See No Evil". Often called "Probie" by DiNozzo, despite no longer being a probationary. Under the pseudonym Thom E. Gemcity he is also the author of a best-selling book using characters based on members of the team.
- Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen; seasons 1–present) replaced Gerald Jackson as the assistant to Dr. Mallard. Originally credited in a recurring role, Dietzen has been credited as "Also Starring" since season six. He is promoted to series regular for the tenth season.[13]
- Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll) became Director of NCIS following Jenny Shepard's death at the end of the season five. He was formerly NCIS Assistant Director.
- Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum) is Chief Medical Examiner assigned working at the NCIS headquarters. He spent some time as a medical examiner in Vietnam, Bosnia, and Afghanistan with the Royal Army Medical Corps before working for NCIS. One of the longest-serving members of the team, he was close friends with Jenny Shepard and is best friends with Gibbs.
- Caitlin "Kate" Todd (Sasha Alexander) was a Junior Special Agent of the Major Case Response Team for seasons one and two. Initially working as a United States Secret Service agent, she resigned and was offered a job at NCIS by Gibbs. She was killed in the season two finale, "Twilight", after being shot in the head by double agent Ari Haswari (Ziva David's half-brother).
- Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) was director of NCIS for seasons three to five and formerly Gibbs' partner (and lover). She was killed in the season five finale, "Judgment Day", at a deserted restaurant in the middle of a desert.
- Tobias C. Fornell, portrayed by Joe Spano (seasons 1–present), is a senior FBI Special Agent. He has a daughter with his ex-wife, who was previously married to Gibbs. Gibbs and Fornell have a spiky camaraderie and frequently have meetings in a stopped elevator while pretending to their respective staffs they are furiously arguing. In fact, after sharing a somewhat adversarial relationship early on, the two now share a close friendship.
- Jackson Gibbs, portrayed by Ralph Waite (seasons 6–present) is the father of NCIS agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
- Anthony DiNozzo, Sr., portrayed by Robert Wagner (seasons 7–present), is the father of NCIS agent Tony DiNozzo. He is depicted as something of a con artist who is perpetually short of funds; Sr and Jr are initially estranged but reestablish a relationship in season eight.
- Special Agent Abigail Borin, portrayed by Diane Neal (seasons 7–present), is a Coast Guard Investigative agent who assists the NCIS agents in several cases and is notable for sharing many of the same traits as Gibbs.[citation needed]
- Ned Dorneget, portrayed by Matt L. Jones (season 9–present), a young probationary agent who works with Gibbs' team. He is used by a home grown terrorist named Harper Dearing (Richard Schiff) who is getting revenge on NCIS. Dearing pays a dentist to place a listening device inside one of Dorneget's fillings.
- Eli David, portrayed by Michael Nouri (seasons 6–10), is the director of the national intelligence agency of Israel, the Mossad. He is also father of both NCIS (and ex-Mossad) Agent Ziva David and rogue Mossad double agent Ari Haswari. Even though David does not support his daughter working at NCIS, he claims he nevertheless loves her. David is close friends with, and mentor to, Director Vance, during Vance's first assignment for what was then the NIS. Eli David and Jackie Vance were killed during rapid machine gun fire in the Director's home.
- Dr. Samantha Ryan, portrayed by Jamie Lee Curtis (season 9), is the head of DoD PsyOps Division and had a relationship with Gibbs in season nine.
- E. J. Barrett, portrayed by Sarah Jane Morris (seasons 8–9), is a Special Agent with NCIS and formerly a team leader. She investigated the "Port to Port Killer" case in season eight, disappearing for a year after the conclusion of the case and the deaths of her team members. She reappeared after a year on the run from the "Phantom Eight". She is a love interest of DiNozzo's throughout season eight and part of season nine, and remains good friends with DiNozzo after her reappearance.
- Ray Cruz, portrayed by Enrique Murciano (seasons 8–9) is Ziva's ex-boyfriend. He is mentioned frequently by her prior to his first appearance in "Two-Faced"; he works for the CIA, and is thus nicknamed "C-I-Ray" by DiNozzo. He is Special Agent Barrett's contact on the investigation into the Port-to-Port killer, something he withheld from Ziva, and which prompts her to leave him, albeit temporarily. In "Pyramid", he is seemingly targeted by the Port-to-Port killer, Lt. Jonas Cobb. After discovering he has killed Americans, Ziva ends their relationship , and he is arrested for murder soon after by NCIS agents.
- Mike Franks, portrayed by Muse Watson (seasons 3–8), was a retired special agent with NIS and long-time mentor to Gibbs, whom he still calls Probie. He is also close friends with DiNozzo and Jenny Shepard. He loses his trigger finger in "Rule Fifty-one" but claims that he "can still pull the trigger with [his] thumb." In the season eight episode "Swan Song," he is murdered with a scalpel by Lt. Jonas Cobb, the "Port to Port Killer", though he appears in the episode as a ghost-like figure who interacts with Gibbs in Gibbs' memories as he recalls the events leading up to Franks' murder. In the season nine episode "Life Before His Eyes" Franks appears in Gibbs' hallucination.
- Trent Kort, portrayed by David Dayan Fisher (seasons 4–8), is an undercover CIA special agent who always seems to have his own devious goals to pursue. Gibbs regards him as very dangerous and does not trust him. While trying to clean up the agency's mess involving the "Port-to-Port Killer ", Lt. Jonas Cobb, he loses his left eye in a fight with Cobb. After Cobb is taken care of, Ziva's boyfriend, CIA Agent Ray Cruz, is ordered to "handle" Kort in Tel Aviv.
- M. Allison Hart, portrayed by Rena Sofer (season 7), is a hard-charging defense attorney and potential love interest for Gibbs.
- Michelle Lee, portrayed by Liza Lapira (seasons 4–6), is an NCIS Special Agent assigned to DiNozzo's team at the start of season four, even though she is foremost a lawyer. She is reassigned to the Legal Department after Gibbs returns, and has recurring appearances throughout the season four. She and Jimmy Palmer have a relationship with the running gag in season four of them having sexual encounters in the morgue with Ducky just missing seeing them together. She then returns to assist Gibbs' team at the end of season five, in "Judgment Day (Part II)", after being suspected as a mole (due to her sister being held captive), and is shot to death by Gibbs in "Dagger" (Lee, being held as a human shield by the man responsible for making her a mole, gives Gibbs permission to do so in order to kill him too).
- Hollis Mann, portrayed by Susanna Thompson (seasons 4–5), is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army assigned to the CID. She and Gibbs were in a relationship, but once she discovered how much he still mourned his wife and child, she decided to end it. In the episode "Ex-File", she retires to Hawaii.
- Jeanne Benoit, portrayed by Scottie Thompson (seasons 4–5), is a doctor at Monroe University Hospital and daughter of arms dealer René Benoit (also known as La Grenouille). She is used as part of an undercover operation and is the love interest of Special Agent DiNozzo in seasons four and five; her last appearance is in "Internal Affairs".
- Paula Cassidy, portrayed by Jessica Steen (seasons 1–4), is a special agent with NCIS and is temporarily assigned to Gibbs' team following the death of Kate Todd, before getting her own team based in the Pentagon. She is killed by a suicide bomber in "Grace Period".
- Gerald Jackson, portrayed by Pancho Demmings (seasons 1 & 3), is the assistant medical examiner to Dr. Mallard during season one, until he is shot by Ari Haswari in "Bête Noire". He was Dr. Mallard's assistant two years prior to this, and went into rehab after the incidents in "Kill Ari (Part II)". He was replaced by Jimmy Palmer.
- Thomas Morrow, portrayed by Alan Dale (season 1–3, 10), is director of NCIS for the first two seasons. He resigns as Director of NCIS in "Kill Ari (Part I)", after being offered a job at the Department of Homeland Security and is succeeded by Jenny Shepard. Morrow later returns in season 10, beginning with the episode "Chasing Ghosts," still employed with Homeland Security
Prior to the launch of the first season, advertisements on CBS identified the show as "Naval CIS". By the time of the launch of the first episode, NCIS was airing under the name Navy NCIS, the name it held for the entire first season. Since the "N" in NCIS stands for "Naval", the name "Navy NCIS" was redundant. The decision to use this name was reportedly made by CBS, over the objections of Bellisario,[14] in order to:
- Attract new viewers (particularly those of JAG), who might not know the NCIS abbreviation.
- Disambiguate between NCIS and the similarly themed and similarly spelled CBS series CSI and its spinoffs. (The original title, for instance, was often misquoted and parodied as "Navy CSI", something the show itself referenced in the first episode).[15]
After its successful first season, the name of the series was shortened to NCIS.
In addition and from the Season 2 episode, "Lt. Jane Doe" onwards, the TV series began using foofs- black and white previews which are seen at the beginning of each act of an NCIS episode. In the Season 3 premiere episode, "Kill Ari (Part I)", the foofs had the freeze-frame shot added as well.
Crew changes[edit]
It was reported in May 2007 that Donald Bellisario would be stepping down from the show.[16] Due to a disagreement with series star Mark Harmon, Bellisario's duties as showrunner/head writer were to be tasked to long-time show collaborators, including co-executive producer Chas. Floyd Johnson and Shane Brennan, with Bellisario retaining his title as executive producer.[17] In fall 2009,[clarification needed] Gary Glasberg joined the crew and became the new "day-to-day" runner of NCIS, as Shane Brennan had to focus on his new show, the spin-off NCIS: Los Angeles.[18]
Ten complete seasons of NCIS have aired, with the tenth season ending on May 14, 2013.[19] As of May 14, 2013[update], 234 original episodes of NCIS have aired.

Callen.[80] LL Cool J, plays the role of Special Agent Sam Hanna, a former Navy SEAL, who works in the undercover unit of NCIS in Los Angeles, and is also fluent in Arabic and an expert on Middle Eastern culture."[76] Peter Cambor and Daniela Ruah were confirmed to be cast as leads, playing a psychologist (called "Nate") and forensic investigator/undercover agent (called "Kensi") respectively.[78]
Following the shows official pick up, Louise Lombard was not signed for the role of Special Agent Lara Macy, that she had played in the pilot. Linda Hunt and Adam Jamal Craig were confirmed to replace her, playing OSP Manager Henrietta Lange and Special Agent Dom Vail, both starring roles. Craig left the series in episode 21 of season 1, was replaced by Eric Christian Olsen playing Marty Deeks,[81] the LAPD/NCIS Liaison and Kensi's partner.
Characters from NCIS have appeared in the spin-off; Leon Vance has a recurring role and Abby Sciuto appeared in the episodes "Random on Purpose" and "Killshot".
NCIS: Los Angeles is created by Shane Brennan. NCIS creator Donald Bellisario sued CBS over NCIS: Los Angeles in April 2011 because of his "first opportunity" to develop a spin-off, which according to the suit, Bellisario wasn't offered from CBS.[82] In June 2012 a Court judge dismissed Bellisario's suit.[83]
In January 2013, CBS and Bellisario reached a settlement in the lawsuit. Although terms were not disclosed, they were described as being amicable.[84][85][86]

Editorial: It's time to end lunch giveaway clash amicably
Delaware County municipalities like Chester Township face a growing list of problems.
Angela Prattis should not be one of them.
While they struggle to preserve their eroding tax bases, fight to preserve quality-of-life issues, and engage in a daily battle to keep their streets safe, Delco towns need to pick their battles carefully.
It appears in this instance Chester Township has decided to pick a fight with Prattis needlessly.
For several years, Prattis, a married mother of three and youth director of her church, has been taking part in a program with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to distribute free lunches to underprivileged children. She happens to do it from her home. She gives out prepackaged meals to about 60 local children. She is a trained volunteer in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia's Nutritional Development Services program.
It wasn't a problem, until someone decided to make it one. A complaint to the township commissioners led to the discovery that Prattis did not have the needed zoning variance to run such an operation from her home.
So in the true spirit of no good deed going unpunished, the township commissioners initially played hard ball with Prattis, saying she could be subject to a $600-a-day fine.
Technically, the township probably has a point. But they easily could have gone about working quietly with Prattis to bring her into compliance with township zoning laws.
Instead what they got was a public relations nightmare.
After Prattis' saga first ran in this newspaper, every media outlet in the region beat a path to her door to tell her story. Continued...
How far has the story circulated? It was mentioned on the website of England's Daily Mail.
While the township has softened the tone of its arguments, saying it is not interested in shutting her down before the program ends on Aug. 24 and likely will not slap her with any fines, it is sticking to its guns on her need to comply with township zoning laws.
It also have offered her several alternative locations to operate from in her charitable endeavors.
As you can imagine, it's not been a terribly popular position.
The story has sparked a huge spike in public support for Prattis.
Pledges for donations have soared well over the $1,000 cost of the zoning hearing.
A Philadelphia attorney who specializes in zoning issues has offered to help her through the process.
A woman in Sierra Vista, Ariz., has set up a Facebook page called "Support Angela Prattis Lunch Program."
Yesterday another group was at Prattis' township home with more donations, including toys for the kids.
We'll stipulate that the township is very likely within its rights to enforce its zoning ordinances. Continued...
But it can't regulate public opinion. And in this instance it is taking an unnecessary beating.
It's likely Prattis will sit down with township officials and discuss the situation. We'll urge both sides to work out an amicable agreement. Now there is talk that Prattis might even run for a seat on the board of commissioners. Such is the hornet's nest that the township's stand has unleashed.
Prattis is providing a needed service that helps underprivileged kids. Sure, she could be doing it somewhere else – in fact she used to do it from the church – but after having a baby this year, she found it more convenient to run the program from her front yard.
She wants to be there again with the program next summer.
We wish her success.
In the great lunch giveaway battle, it appears maybe Chester Township may have bitten off more than it can chew.

Doswell hails Sutton United's do or die attitude (From Streatham Guardian)

Doswell: "We're going all out to win games, that is how we can get into the play offs"
7:00pm Thursday 28th February 2013 in Sport By Tim Ashton
Sutton United boss Paul Doswell admitted his team were too open in the 1-0 Blue Square South defeat at Chelmsford City last Saturday.
However, he is unrepentant and vowed to continue an attacking style of football in an effort to win the points they need to gatecrash the play-offs.
Doswell said: "Chelmsford deserved to win and our keeper, Tom Lovelock, had one of the best games I've seen a keeper have for us, which is good for him.
"As a team we created at least five really good chances on the road, which pleases me, but to be honest the score could have been 10-5 to Chelmsford, it was that open.
"We could have shut up shop and gone for a point, but we need wins. People might say three away draws is a good three points, but we need more.
"We've been going for it for a month or so, and we'll continue that until the end of the season."
United faced Molesey last night in the Surrey Senior Cup quarter-finals, and then go to Havant & Waterlooville in the league on Saturday.
Doswell was expecting to name Simon Downer, Tom Jordan and James Folkes in the side to face Molesey.
He said: "We reached the Surrey Senior Cup final last year and had a great night – we want more of the same."

Testimonies: Pain/Swelling |
"When I came in I had a pain in my hand and arm and now that's gone. After prayer it has completely gone." - Alexis M. on January 28th, 2013 | |
"My pointing finger was healed. The pain is gone, and swelling is gone." - Robin on November 21st, 2011 | |
"After an emotionally traumatic incident I was infected by a virus, which was followed by severe swelling that came up overnight, together with severe arthritis pain in my hands, wrists, arms and ankles. During this trial the Lord encouraged me with dreams that showed that, although I felt abandoned, He was at work to prepare a more heavenly place in my heart for Him and to bring me into much blessing. I received prayer at Healing Rooms Australia and Nowra Healing Rooms and each time felt the overwhelming love and compassion of Jesus. He healed me of trauma and a very deep emotional vulnerability from childhood. Not only has my body been healed, but I have come into a place of greater trust in my heavenly Father and He is blessing me abundantly. Ursula" - Ursula R. on July 9th, 2012 | |
"Wrist injured in sports, received prayer at Healing Room, wrist healed that very night." - Jessie F. on January 21st, 2012 | |
"God told me He would give me the key to unlock the burden/weight I've carried & haven't been able to lose, before we left Portland. Today I was healed of; arthritis in hands, head trauma, left knee cartilage worn out, neck & back stiffness, and hip pain. This was all a result of 38 years ago in a car accident without a seat belt in a head on collision with a concrete culvert. In the collision, my hands went through the windshield which resulted in numbness and arthritis off and on. (Tonight I felt heat and no more pain). I received a head trauma which resulted in foggyness and memory loss. Recently this has been much worse, but tonight it feels very clear as I felt something lift off. My knee was hurting during the speaker and now I have no pain or stiffness. My neck and back now feels relaxed with no pain. My hips would normally hurt with standing for more than 15 minutes and my outer thighs would go numb. Tonight I felt my pelvis shift and adjust & my stomach lift." - Marilyn I. on January 5th, 2012 | |

Video: The Secret Of America's Black Presidents
J. Nayer Hardin |OEN | August 30, 2008 at 12:53:39
Let's see if America is ready for the truth. Here's an item.
Senator Barack Obama is on track to become America's sixth Black President according to Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Historian and African Chief in his dynamic book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY.
Dr. Vaughn is a history scholar whose forty plus years of passion for Black history delivers brilliant insight into the field. The book is a unique study and historical analysis of how Black people came to be integrated into the burning house that Dr. M. L. King spoke of shortly before his death to the great humanitarian, actor and entertainer Harry Belafonte.
From Dr. Vaughn's book, pages 141-143, included with permission "" Five Black Presidents
"Joel A. Rogers and Dr. Auset Bakhufu have both written books documenting that at least five former presidents of the United States had Black people among their ancestors. If one considers the fact that European men far outnumbered European women during the founding of this country, and that the rape and impregnation of an African female slave was not considered a crime, it is even more surprising that these two authors could not document Black ancestors among an ever larger number of former presidents.
The president's names include Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding, and Calvin Coolidge.

Bob Grotz's 5 keys to an Eagles win
Here are five things Eagles beat writer Bob Grotz will be looking for in today's Eagles-Lions game:
Five Keys To Victory
1.Attack the Lions on special teams.
2.Make Calvin Johnson's teammates beat you.
3.Hit quarterback Matthew Stafford.
4.Make the Lions tackle LeSean McCoy 20-plus times.
5.Keep it simple — let the Lions beat themselves.
Bob Grotz's prediction:
Offense: Eagles
Defense: Eagles Continued...
Special Teams: Eagles
Coaching: Eagles
Intangibles: Eagles
The Eagles might be able to turn the ball over and still beat the Lions, who invent ways to beat themselves. The Lions allow 28.5 points and 1.5 return TDs per game.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. — The Surry Runnin' Patriots girls won against the Carlisle team by a score of 55-37 on Tuesday and guard Sydney Bedsaul led in scoring.
Runnin' Patriots Head Coach Todd Hill said Bedsaul made several three-pointers and drove for quite a few lay-ups to haul in 33 total points for the team.
Hill said the Pats played a little sluggish in the first half and had only scored 17 points by half-time compared to the Carlisle's 10 points. However, Hill said, the second half proved to be a different ballgame, because the Runnin' Patriot girls moved into a transition style game and were able to get some open shots.
The game scorers were: Sydney Bedsaul 33 points; Jessica Boyd 13; Kaylee Paris 6; and Joye Harrison 3.
Boyd also took 11 rebounds and four steals, Ashley Marshall took eight rebounds, and Harrison made six assists.
The Surry Runnin' Patriot girls will play Stateline Rush in Galax on Friday.

Help relieve heel pain with a calf stretch that involves keeping both heels on the ground while pushing against a wall. (Anne Cusack / Los Angeles Times) |
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons suggests this exercise to stretch the calf and relieve plantar fasciitis:
Lean forward with your hands on a wall and one leg forward. Slightly bend the front leg at the knee while keeping the back leg straight. With both heels on the ground, push against the wall. If you can feel your calf stretching, you're doing it right. Hold for about 10 seconds, and repeat 20 times for each foot.
An Internet search can turn up all sorts of self-help tips for heel pain. But some options are better than others.
While many sites recommend stretching the plantar fascia by slowly rolling your foot foot back and forth on a tennis ball, podiatrist Michael King has doubts. He hasn't heard of many people getting much help from the tennis ball trick, and he warns that a person who rolled too hard could actually do more damage. It would be better, he says, to roll your foot gently on a frozen plastic bottle. The bottle would more evenly distribute pressure, he says, and the cold could help ease the inflammation.
Night splints that stretch the calf muscle while you sleep can also help relieve plantar fasciitis, University of Virginia sports medicine professor Jay Hertel says. As he explains, the calf attaches to the heel bone, and a stretched calf can lead to a relaxed plantar fascia. For extra relief, he recommends calf-stretching exercises during the day.

DescriptionRocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) needs little introduction as one of the most beautiful national parks in the U.S. Consequentially it has some of the most beautiful climbing in the U.S. The routes here are long, (grade III to V), committing, usually have some sections of loose rock, require a lengthy hike in, require some knowledge of snow travel, and are absolutely spectacular. In short, you need to be a competent climber to safely enjoy this area. Getting ThereTake US 36 north to Lyons. From Lyons, follow US Highway 36 to Estes Park. From Estes Park, take CO Highway 7 south to get to the Long's Peak trailhead or Wild Basin, or head directly into the park [US 36 and then left on the Bear Lake Rd.] to get to the Glacier Gorge area and the Bear Lake area. Bypassing waiting in the linesFWIW, if you are trying to enter during entrance fee collecting times, you can use the right lane at the Beaver Meadows entrance with the card activated gate bypassing the lines with a Rocky Mountain National Park annual pass OR a National Parks annual pass purchase at RMNP!

Since 1966, SkillsUSA has facilitated "the long line of red blazers" headed to Capitol Hill in September. The 2010 Washington Leadership Training Institute continued this tradition and was one of the best institutes ever held. I could not be more pleased with what I saw from the students and advisors during every phase of this year's event. I heard comments from a West Virginia teacher who said: "This is the best experience I've had in my 20-plus years of teaching." From an administrator from New York: "I've never been to a conference as organized as this one. Every event is on time and the quality of the activities and presenters has been first class. I'm taking the message back to other administrators in my state that this is an event of extremely high value and others should participate." And, from a student from Alabama who told me: "This week has changed my life." And, there were many, many more positive comments just like these.
I was very pleased that SkillsUSA Board of Directors President Russ Hoffbauer attended and served in the role of State Farm sponsor and also as a participant in the congressional visits.
Students received great training from former national officers Niki Clausen, Byekwaso Francis and Carl Wetzler. Speakers were excellent and our Monday keynote was delivered by Sharon Miller and Margaret Romer from the Division of Academic and Technical Education at the U.S. Department of Education. Staff did a great job assisting with all facets of the conference.
The advisor sessions were well attended and the speakers were well prepared and informative. Steve DeWitt from ACTE and Erin Uy from NASDCTEc gave a joint presentation on present policy and future vision for CTE; Bill Lawhorn, an economist from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, gave a presentation on the outlook for careers served by SkillsUSA and CTE; the Army gave a presentation about strategies for successful advocacy; the advisors held a best practice expert panel; Staff gave a presentation on the Work Force Ready System; and finally, I held a discussion session with advisors. The comments I've heard from the advisors and students alike were very positive.
We're still reviewing delegation reports from the students' visits to Capitol Hill. We've received more detailed reports than in the past, and we know that 21 states held meetings with at least 78 different Senate and House offices on September 21. That's eight more visits than last year. Eileen Cassidy from GAERF accompanied the Rhode Island delegation on their visits. We're proud of the students and advisors who participated in WLTI for carrying forward the message of career and technical education and SkillsUSA.
On Tuesday, September 21, while the students and advisors were visiting with Congress, Deb Tripp, Russ Hoffbauer, three national officers and I visited Senator Michael Enzi's office (R-WY). We discussed the impact CTE has on students, schools and communities, the possibilities for SkillsUSA WorldTeam funding and the need for clarification of the use of Perkins funds for CTSO activities.
Thanks to our Associate Director of Training, Deb Tripp, for leading WLTI and to every department at SkillsUSA and our state association directors for the contributions they all made. It was a true demonstration of staff teamwork. We were all a part of something that made a wonderfully positive impact on our students, teachers and administrators. The long line of red blazers on Capitol Hill continues.

NSTA provides the best opportunities for increasing your power as a science educator.
Visit us on Facebook
An online gathering place for NSTA members. Ask questions, talk about issues, make new connections.
What captures the interest of students? FOOD! Using the food they eat to bring life science, chemistry, nutrition, and biology concepts to middle level and high school students is the basis of a collaborative program between NSTA and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Begun in 1999, NSTA and FDA used inquiry-based science to develop a supplementary curriculum called Science and Our Food Supply, for middle and high school science teachers. The program provides challenging hands-on activities that link food science and food safety to students' everyday lives. The teacher-friendly modular format covers food science from the farm to the table linked to the National Science Education standards (NSES). Also included is an Emmy Award–winning video called Dr. X and the Quest for Food Safety, which gives students the inside scoop on emerging microbes: how they live, grow, and spread.
An annual weeklong Professional Development Program in Food Science, held in Washington, DC, provides an in-depth orientation to the curriculum. Participating teachers tour FDA laboratories and meet the scientists, explore food safety on the farm at government research sites, and learn the science behind safe food production while they visit a seafood processing plant.
Teachers who are interested in the in-person Professional Development Program in Food Science summer workshop, as well as the free Science and Our Food Supply curriculum kit can click here for more information (this will take you away from the NSTA website).
Acknowledging that it is difficult for teachers to attend a weeklong seminar, in 2006, NSTA provided a platform for FDA to provide workshops and other in-person professional development experiences at NSTA regional and national conferences, which are classified as NSTA Symposia. Symposia include FDA scientists covering emerging food safety and/or nutrition topics.
Teachers learn:
Ensuring that the power of the internet is utilized, online lesson plans and resources, called SciGuides, and free subject-matter teacher tutorials, called Science Objects and SciPacks, are available in food science, microbiology, and nutrition.

Moving to Belgium
Posted by: Avro (IP Logged)
Date: May 02, 2012 08:22PM I just found out that we are moving to Belgium (Antwerp) later this year. Anyone know what cycling is like there?
We lived for 3 years on the Dutch/German border near Roermond and I am wondering if cycling in Belgium is rather like Holland. If so, I am delighted. Re: Moving to Belgium

Date: May 03, 2012 09:48AM I last cycled through Belgium probably 20 years ago so this may not be too much help... but my memory is of a great network of small roads, with lots of elderly 'roadies' out at the weekends. Don't recall the same level of segregated paths as Holland but I didn't go into the towns much.
You could always have a nosey with Google Streetview to get an idea of the street layouts where you'll be living... This sounds very positive: [bikethoughtsfromabroad.blogspot.co.uk] -- Peter Eland - Velo Vision publisher Re: Moving to Belgium

Date: May 03, 2012 10:55AM If you have only a little knowledge of cycle racing you'll be aware of the vast network of single-track roads and forest tracks (some still cobbled) that criss-cross the countryside. I'm sure you'll enjoy cycling there - it's always exciting to set off on rides having not ridden the roads before. Re: Moving to Belgium

Date: May 03, 2012 03:06PM The north and west is like the Netherlands.
The midlle gets litlle gets hillier around Namur. You cross that river that goes to Leige and beyond and a get blooming steep hills. Eastward is hillier. You can do a tour of lots of Beer brewisies. Like the Trappistes. Grrr. I getting confised in the compass. I better have a look at one now. Re: Moving to Belgium

Date: May 03, 2012 03:48PM I've only done a couple of weeks touring with a Belgian voluntary group -[flanderstour-en.blogspot.co.uk] - it was great. Lots of cycle paths. Though the Belgians said that the Netherlands was better, it was unbelievably good after the UK. Not many hills!
The divided roads often had defined cycle routes and most footpaths in the cities seemed to be marked as shared so everyone was on the lookout for cyclists. Lots of cycling contraflows down one-way streets and best of all motorists were quite relaxed about giving way to cyclists. When we were on a minor road wanting to cross a major road, the leaders would walk onto the road, hold up his hand palm forwards and the cars stopped! No drivers tooting, they were smiling while 18 cyclists crossed! Cars often stopped to let cyclists & pedestrians cross. Re: Moving to Belgium

Date: May 05, 2012 05:27PM Thanks for the advice. I have done a bit more reading and discovered that the North of Belgium is very much like Holland for cycling and as that is where we will be living, I am very happy with that news. Re: Moving to Belgium

Date: May 07, 2012 08:03AM As I mentioned in the Opening Post, Antwerp. Re: Moving to Belgium
Posted by: Seamus (IP Logged)
Date: May 07, 2012 04:30PM Grrr.
Whereabouts in the city. North, south, west or east. In the city istself or one of the villages just outside it? what are you going there for? Work. What you do? The last time I was neary in Anvers was last year when I go struck by Hayfever. Snot coming out nose and crying a lot and the eyes stopped working. In the end I was back to the seaside. Ages ago I was in camping in St-Job-in-'t-Goor, north-west of Antwerpen, when my bike had a problem with it's bottom bracket. It kept in unscrewing. I took it a shop and the owner welding it in, "Sealed for life," is what he said to me. He aslo told me to I could gift Maastrict on a towpath folling the canal behind to shop. I went and it did. It was a Rick Powell frame. Would you like to to post a message or a reply? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
