<ul> <li> President <font color=yellow>George W Bush</font> presented a Presidential Citizen Medal to <I>CSI: New York</I>'s <font color=yellow>Gary Sinise</font> (Mac Taylor).

The machine uses tetrahertz wavelengths to create a 3D image of what lies below the surface of an object. <font color=yellow>Richard Kurtz</font>, chairman and CEO of Advanced Photonix Inc, said he isn't concerned about how <I>Miami</I> portrays the technology. "Perhaps they'll take literary license," he told <A class="link" HREF="http://www.mlive.com/annarbornews/news/index.ssf/2008/12/top_tv_crime_show_uses_ann_arb.html">MLive.com</a>. "They're trying to make it so people can easily understand technology, God bless 'em for it, it is difficult to explain."<p><li> CSI Files previously <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/news/050708_01.shtml">reported</a> that former <I>Battlestar Galactica</I> writer <font color=yellow>Bradley Thompson</font> (and writing partner <font color=yellow>David Weddle</font>) made the switch to the <I>CSI: Crime Scene Investigation</I> writing team. However, Thompson revisited his <I>Galactica</I> days when he got married earlier this month. <font color=yellow>Edward James Olmos</font> (<I>Battlestar</I>'s Admiral Adama) officiated, and the ceremony ended with an enthusiastic "So say we all!"

Lenkov promised "more intense character drama, as well as our trademark 'only in New York' stories. We'll continue Stella's pursuit of the man who tried to kill her and introduce a new nemesis for Mac, a media mogul played by <font color=yellow>Craig T. Nelson</font>." Lenkov also said <I>CSI: NY</I> will "revisit" the chemistry between fellow detectives Don Flack (<font color=yellow>Eddie Cahill</font>) and Jessica Angell (<font color=yellow>Emmanuelle Vaugier</font>), but he wasn't so sure about possible sparks between Stella and lab geek Adam Ross (<font color=yellow>AJ Buckley</font>). Lenkov said the two "play nice together", but he's "not sure there's a romance there."<p><li> In casting scoop for <I>New York</I>, <I>Dancing with the Stars</I> professional <font color=yellow>Edyta Sliwinska</font> will guest-star in an upcoming episode. "I'm playing a dance teacher and I'm one of the suspects," she told <A class="link" HREF="http://www.accesshollywood.com/dish-of-salt-dancing-star-steps-into-csi-new-york_article_12561">Access Hollywood</a>. "I am suspected to be a murderer to kill a guy and chop him into pieces."</ul><center></center>
