CBS has just confi rmed that Cote de Pablo

is not coming back for the 11th season of the

network’s hit drama NCIS this fall, though

she will appear long enough for her character

Ziva David to conclude her storyline.

CBS and producer CBS TV Studios said in

a joint statement Wednesday that the decision

was de Pablo’s to end her long-time run on

the show.

“We respect Cote’s decision, thank her for

being an important part of the NCIS team, and

for eight terrifi c years playing Ziva David,”

the statement said. “Cote and CBS share a

great respect for the NCIS audience, and we

look forward to working with her and the pro-

ducers on appropriate closure in this chapter

of Ziva’s story.”

De Pablo had been the only other cast mem-

ber without a deal (it expired at the end of

the most current season) after star Mark Har-

mon re-upped in February, an agreement that

allowed CBS to renew network TV’s most-

watched drama soon after. Most of the cast’s

contracts are on a different schedule, with

only Harmon and de Pablo up the same year.

Michael Weatherly, Sean Murray, Pauley

Perrette, Rocky Carroll, Brian Dietzen and

David McCallum also star.

“I’ve had eight great years with NCIS and

Ziva David,” said de Pablo in her own state-

ment. “I have huge respect and affection for

Mark, Gary, Michael, David, Rocky, Pauley,

Brian, Sean, all of the team and CBS. I look

forward to fi nishing Ziva’s story.”

This past season NCIS topped even NBC’s

Sunday Night Football as TV’s most-watched

series, averaging around 22 million view-

ers — up about seven per cent from previ-

ous season. It also ranked No. 1 in the 25-54

demographic. NCIS is also licensed in more

than 200 markets and ranks as cable’s No. 1

off-network drama in domestic syndication,

boosting ratings for USA Network.

The show begins shooting its 11th season

next week, and is set to premiere Sept. 24.

HoroscopesJuly 15 - July 21, 2013

This is the time to question the reality of what is achievable on a personal level. Events since late May have played a pivotal role in what can be established to provide a secure basis for the future. Making the right choices will result in favourable growth in the next year. Frustration means your choices are wrong.

You have been in an information gathering period which is now coming to a turning point that will likely require decisions be-tween now and early August. There is a great deal of favourable and stable support from others. This can assist you in further in-creasing your knowledge in some way. Enjoy caring for yourself.

You may need to move forward with decisions related to fi nancial commitment or spending. The small details need to be paid atten-tion to because putting proper boundaries in place is very neces-sary. This can be the difference in gaining security or losing it. En-joying life is on your mind and is only possible by being practical.

Much can go your way this week, providing you with greater clar-ity when it comes to decisions you want to make about your life and yourself. It is a stable sort of luck. Though you might sense a lot about the long term, this is not where your focus should be. There can be some challenging obligations with the here and now.

Stability is establishing itself in ways outside of your control, re-quiring some faith on your part. You like to have more control of your circumstances but maintaining patience and allowing matters to surface in their own time is most necessary. You can get enjoy-ment from learning from any information gathering exercises in life.

Greater clarity when it comes to what you should prioritise in life can at last begin to emerge. This may prove to be different to what you previously expected. You could realise there is more to take into account. While someone else can assist on the creative side it will be your own practical, down to earth decisions that matter.

However you now decide to move forward with commitments or ob-ligations may not please somebody else. This could generate rebel-lion of some description on their part. Do not let this deter you. Bend-ing to their will can create circumstances that will have no boundaries when it comes to the manner in which you will be restricted.

The better you have managed self-discipline since October the more you will sense your ability to be able to develop a promising future. You can now reach some sort of turning point in your mind when it comes to committing yourself to the path you need to take. Maintain a balanced approach with little things that niggle at you.

There is no reason for any underlying insecurity to get the better of you. Just because it may be hard to know where you stand as well as perhaps what other people think or the decisions they will make, this doesn’t mean things won’t work out for the bet-ter. Patience in allowing things to surface is your only option.

Decisions you have been waiting for from somebody else should be forthcoming. These could be different to what you expected and in a good way. There is no limit to what can be developed with other people. You need to be sure of your own priorities to ensure you don’t end up with greater expectations than you presumed.

A sense of moving forward with any health matters will start now and continue through to early August. Doing the right thing can raise your energy levels quite dramatically. Look at what you are prepared to develop as daily routine that is not too much so that you will stick with it long term. This will result in solid benefi ts.

You can be very tuned into what is achievable as a practical real-ity. Being able to enjoy what you do will be easily incorporated but you need to be prepared to take action to put things into place. It can involve a change of previous ideas but the time is right for such things to be set up and to remain persistent to early August.


I’m no better than the grandmother who forgot her grandchild in a hot carby Leslie Kennedy I have a two-year-old little boy,

and I live one neighbourhood over

from a two-year-old boy who was

tragically left in a car for what was

described as “a signifi cant portion

of the day” by his grandmother

who was charged with his care.

That little boy died. And, when I

heard the news, I melted into tears.

“What the hell is wrong with peo-

ple?” was my gut reaction. “How

can you forget a two-year-old child

in the car? How stupid can some-

one be?! Parents who love their

children would never forget them!”

I was indignant, and horrifi ed

and sad and pissed. Right. Off.

That little boy lived so close

to us he could have been in the

same class in school as my son.

This story hit very close to

home. Literally and fi guratively.

I was all judgemental and angry

until someone on a chat board

I’m on posted a blog that opened

my eyes to, not just how it can

happen, but how easily it can.

How all it can take is a change in

schedule and a loss of concentra-

tion and boom, tragedy.

I distinctly remember a day a

few months ago when I was about

to pull out of my drive way with

my four-year-old in her car seat

when a little voice came from the

back of the car, “Um, Mom? I

think you forgot something.”

I turned around to see her totally

unbuckled. She thought it was hi-

larious. I was horrifi ed.

I am anal about car seat-safety.

Heck, I’ve blogged about its im-

portance! I have put that child in

the same car seat, multiple times

a day, every single day for four

years. How could I forget to

buckle her in?

Clearly I got distracted. And I am

lucky beyond words that she was

verbal enough to tell me. Had she

been younger, or decided not to

tell me, I very easily could have

kept driving, and, had we been hit,

I would have been shown, in the

most tragic way, the potential cost

of that distraction.

It can happen to anyone. “BUT

HOW CAN YOU FORGET

YOUR CHILD?!?”

Because people make mistakes.

If a blog written by Lisa Belkin

taught me anything, it’s that peo-

ple are not infallible.

She referred to a very compelling

and very graphic article on how eas-

ily such a tragedy could occur. It’s a

hard read. But an eye-opening one.

“Think that could never happen

to you?” she asked. “Read Wein-

garten’s entire article here. Then

come back and tell me you are still

completely sure. Think that par-

ents who do this should be tried

for manslaughter and sent to jail?

Read of how these families punish

themselves, and come back and tell

me if you still feel the same way.”

There is a very big difference

between a mother who leaves her

two-year-old child in a mall park-

ing lot so she can go shopping on a

31-degree day, and a grandmother

who somehow didn’t realize or

remember that her two-year-old

grandson was in the back seat.

There is a difference between

outright negligence and the worst

possible brain burp. There is a dif-

ference. A big difference. The fi rst

act is negligence. The second,

sadly, is tragically human.

I feel nothing but empathy now

for the grandmother I at fi rst

thought should rot in jail. I don’t

think she is a monster. I don’t think

she was negligent. I don’t think she

clearly didn’t love her grandchild.

The fi rst step in preventing this

from happening is to acknowledge

it could. Saying you love your child

too much to forget them, saying

you’d never be that stupid, saying,

as I saw on one person’s Facebook

wall in response to the very blog

I am referring to, “Maybe I’m the

idiot for considering the safety and

well-being of my child was para-

mount compared to all other situ-

ations going on at the time,” is pre-

cisely the mentality that can lead to

incidences like this happening.

In the words of Belkin: “Calling

the parents inhuman monsters might

make us feel better, but it won’t

save the next child. Recognizing

they are human beings just might.

Please check your back seat.”
