Kay Allison, the owner of Quest Bookshop in Charlottesville, is the brains behind a program called Books Behind Bars; prisoners from nearly 40 facilities write to her asking for reading material.
The program encourages inmates to turn their lives around, with the turn of a page. One inmate wrote Kay a letter expressing his/her gratitude.
"You've made many of my days and nights much easier, as we've have books to read when I needed to allow my mind to leave this place."
Kay has helped thousands of prisoners mentally escape in the last 20 years.
"I just think they're people who made a mistake and they deserve another chance, and you can read that in the letters," she said.
Allison and a handful of volunteers donate their time to help inmates pass the time. Prisoners write letters, requesting reading material.
"We get about 20 letters a day from the inmates asking for free books. I figured the other day it's about 10 to 15 hours [of work] a week," said Allison.
Volunteers sort through hundreds of donated books, stored on shelves on the second floor of the Quest Bookshop in Charlottesville, looking to quench each prisoner's thirst for knowledge. Kay says that many of the prisoners who write in are young people trying to educate themselves or individuals studying for the GED.
Allison believes that while they reflect on their wrong doing, the prisoners have plenty of time left to learn. The most commonly requested book is a dictionary.
Allison believes her program is worthwhile because it offers a link to the outside world.
"I think there is a connection. I open up a letter and I realize it's a human being that needs help," said volunteer, Kathy Lally.
In addition to Allison's heroic efforts offering time and energy, Books Behind Bars requires a great deal of money. Each dictionary costs $7, the rent for the space to store the books about $1,100 a month, and each month Allison pays about $300 in shipping fees to get those books out.

Sending perfectly-cooked entree back just cause you don't like it
- Brian S Mar 27, 2007 12:49 PM
I'd never dream of it. But chow.com's etiquette expert says it's the thing to do. http://www.chow.com/stories/10496
You order an entree, it comes perfectly prepared and just as advertised. But you decide you just aren't in the mood for it. (Or maybe, though correctly described on the menu, it is not quite what you expected.) So you send it back and don't pay for it. As I said, I wouldn't dream of it. (Even if they bring the wrong order, I don't say a word so as not to get the waiter in trouble.) But I'm curious. Would anyone here consider doing it?
At the place I work, we do get those sort of requests, and although we typically accomodate (to an extent), I do not agree with the sentiment (I personally do not practice this myself either). Unlike a DVD movie or an article of clothing (which usually can't be refunded if opened), the food is going to be thrown away, which hurts the business and causes additional problems for everyone, even though it wasn't their fault..
Nope. Luckily I have people around me (boyfriend, mother) who hate to waste food and will eat it for me as well as share some of what they have.
I would never send back a perfectly prepared dish just because I did not like it. I believe that is wrong. I've had plenty of meals that were not exactly what I expected -- it's part of the adventure of eating.
When I first looked at the post and started to read the article my reaction was OMG. But if you read the text carefully it is very professional, above board and its really not sending it back and getting another dish.
The situation outlined was that you goofed and ordered something you did not like. It has happened to all of us. Sometimes, depending on the circumstances you push through the meal and eat it all in spite of the taste, other times you leave it in front of you or nibble. If you choose the latter, you always have the option of calling the waiter over, explaining you did not like it, offer to pay for it and order number 2. It is up to the resto to decide if #1 was charged or not. If they feel it's a long term relationship or they want to "take one for the gipper" they'll probably bring number 2 without charge. But if the bill has both, the custo needs to determine whether that's a deal breaker for future business.
Most times number 2 will probably be as bad as number 1 and that's a no brainer for not returning. But in the event that number 2 is good, it gives ample opportunity to discuss on the way out with the host, become friends and thank them for their consideration.
It could be the end of your going to the resto or the beginning of a great relationship. Both parties need to agree on the latter
If they bring the wrong order, you should absolutely ask the server to get you the right meal. If they bring what you ordered and you don't like it, a good server will notice and ask if there is something wrong. Be honest. Often they will volunteer a replacement. But I would never demand a new meal if it was the correct order and I just chose badly.
If I made a mistake in my order and I REALLY hated it, as in could not eat it, I would talk to the manager about what could be done. But that would be an extreme case for me, and I think it was also the point of the article.
If I get a wrong order, the kitchen or waitstaff gave the wrong one, sure send it back! Get the waitstaff in trouble??? Oh please. I would be discrete about it, but back it would go. Yes, I grew up in the business, front and back of the house, mistakes happen and the house whould be given every chance to correct them, and to correct them with respect and dignity, So no yelling. :-)
re: Quine
There is really only ONE way to handle a wrong dish arriving. Call the waiter over and whisper in his hear that you ordered X and they delivered Y. Let him take care of it. NEVER call the manager over unless this professional approach does not work, you are a custo, not a tattle tale.
Good lord, no. If I couldn't eat it at all, I'd order something else and pay for both and chalk it up to my mistake.
If it comes out different than described (i.e., with different ingredients), then I would indeed send it back, but that's really not what the article was referring to.
So, if the description sounds quite flavorful, but it comes out very bland (maybe I can barely taste the basil in the tomoato basil sauce), I would tell the waiter but not send it back.
To me, unless it's obvious that something is wrong with the dish, I'll eat it. You really don't know what the chef intended in terms of flavor unless you and they are sitting side-by-side tasting the entree. Maybe the sauce was supposed to be on the bland side because the chef thought it might overpower the fish? Maybe the taste works for him but not you? It's so subjective that I really couldn't say there was something wrong with it & thus warrant a return to the kitchen.
I can say with certainty, though, that there is something wrong with a steak that is gray with a warm pink center, but was ordered rare. I'd send that back in a second.
I do have a related story. When I was in college (maybe 19 yrs. old or so), I went out with 3 other people to what was supposedly an upscale place. I ordered king crab legs and they had an off taste, with an odor of ammonia (improper storage temp maybe?). Definitely something was wrong. I told the waiter & he refused to do anything about it. I asked to see the manager & then he started to argue with me! The waiter said he tasted them himself & said they were fine. Because I was on the young side, the waiter & manager tried to intimidate me (thinking that I didn't know what crab legs were really supposed to taste like). Even when I explained to him that I'd eaten crab legs many times, it didn't matter. After a long & drawn out arguement, the manager took the entree of the bill. By that time, everyone in our party was finished with their meals, so we left without my getting any entree.
If I order something, and I get it and don't like it, as far as I'm concerned, that's my problem.
As someone else said, sometimes the waiter/waitress will ask if there's something wrong. In the one instance this happened to me (I decided to order something I never had before, and ended up not liking it), the waitress was nice enough to ask me if I'd like something else, and did not charge for my first meal. I didn't expect it though, and I wouldn't.
It's most likely not the resto's fault that you didn't like something that was described correctly on the menu and was cooked perfectly. They shouldn't have to pay for it under duress.
re: QueenB
I agree. This has happened to me only once or twice, and I fess up and say I don't like, with no disrespect to the cook. Then I usually order something that can be made quickly like a large dinner salad. Most likely they will take it off the check (one for the gipper... love that) and then you tip profusely so they don't think you're an evil diva. Just a sweet diva. Oh, Robin.
While I wouldn't hesitate to get the restaurant to correct their mistake, I would not expect them to correct mine either if I ordered the wrong thing or if I ordered a perfectly prepared dish that I didn't like.
I didn't get the impression from the linked piece that she was recommending sending back food that's well prepared? The query stated the monkfish and potatoes were bland, which to me means it wasn't well prepared at all.
Personally, I don't send food back unless there's something horrible going on there. In fact, other than disgusting salads with rotten lettuce, I can't recall the last time I sent something back to the kitchen.
Nope. Occasionally I've had food that I didn't like or couldn't eat (because it turned out to include ingredient/s that I couldn't/wouldn't eat...) but I've either traded with someone else at the table, or just eaten the part of the plate that was okay.
The only time I've ever sent a dish back was when my parents took me to a fairly fancy restaurant and I ordered seared tuna, and didn't realise it would be raw inside and only lightly seared on the outside. (I WAS only about fifteen. Nowadays I just won't order anything 'seared' because i know I won't like it.) I made them take it back and cook it until the inside was white instead of red. They were a little taken aback, but they did it, and I enjoyed my grilled tuna very much.
re: Kajikit
K kit, yours is the perfect example. You didn't know what seared tuna was--and sent it back. The OP is asking if this is kosher. I would say no; except in the rare case like yours in which the restaurant could take the seared piece back, whack the h*&& out of it in under the salamander, replate, and send it back out to you.
In other cases, however, the customer should order with care and responsibility.

Art the osprey begins long journey home to NH
Art, who has made the treacherous migration and return trip from South America seven times, was among three ospreys who departed from New Hampshire late in the fall. Two other transmitter-equipped juvenile ospreys, Jill and Chip from the Tilton area, are presumed to have perished. In 2011, the center lost another juvenile female, Saco, during migration.
Project leader and Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Executive Director Iain MacLeod, an internationally-recognized osprey researcher, is working with Dr. Rob Bierregaard, a Distinguished Visiting Research Professor at the Department of Biology at the University of North Carolina who has tracked nearly 40 ospreys using satellite technology.
Coincidentally, two of the ospreys that Dr. Bierregaard is tracking departed Venezuela on the same day, March 15, MacLeod said. He estimated that Art's return trip would take three weeks - less than the five-week migration south - as he may be eager to return to his nest and his mate in Bridgewater.
Art was "a little slow to get going" on his return trip, only logging about 80 miles on his first day flying north, and another 70 over the next couple days. But he appears to be picking up speed and has advanced another 150 miles since Monday, according to tracking data. The nearly 5,000-mile trip to Brazil took Art 35 days.
On Wednesday, MacLeod said this week's snowstorm should not have an impact on Art's trek home at all since the snow will likely be gone by the time Art makes it to New England in a few weeks. If not, the mature raptor will simply either stay further south for a while.
"He would slow down and find somewhere to fish," MacLeod said.
Ospreys dine solely on fish and, down south, Art had much to choose from. In a log entry with Art's tracking data, (www.nhnature.org/programs/project_ospreytrack/osprey_mapART.php), MacLeod described the region Art chose to inhabit for the winter.
"He has a couple of regular roost sites that he uses every night and then spends most of each day perched next to an area of water - always on the lookout for the next fish dinner. He has plenty of choices on the Rio Tocantins. I recently came across a paper on the fish species found in the Tocantins watershed. The researchers documented 343 species of fish - there are a total of 48 freshwater fish species in New Hampshire, so Art has a little more variety in his diet down there," he wrote.
Once Art does arrive, he is expected to return to his nest atop a utility pole in Bridgewater on the Pemigewasset River.
"They are very faithful to existing nests," said MacLeod.
Art has nested in the same spot since 2007. If another osprey has claimed the nest, Art will fight to get it back. Ever faithful, Art will reunite with the same female osprey he has mated with for several years. The female, who is tagged but not equipped with a GPS transmitter, also summers in South America. Courtship will begin with Art bringing the female a fish, to show he's a good provider, and an aerial display. MacLeod said the female lays the eggs - up to three eggs, typically - in May. Once laid, the incubation takes 35 days. The chicks are cared for through the summer, and will likely migrate in the fall.
Dr. Bierregaard, who has tracked and studies ospreys for four decades, this year tracked ospreys from Massachusetts, Delaware and New York. Five birds wearing satellite transmitters down in South America all appear ready to come home. According to Dr. Bierregaard's web site (http://www.bioweb.uncc.edu/bierregaard/migration1.htm) one osprey, named Snowy, is a 2-year-old who will be coming north for the first time.
MacLeod added that two birds tracked by his colleagues were out of contact - and out of cell tower range - for months. The scientists didn't know if they were still alive, but the good news this week was the birds are alive and on their way north, according to the latest data upload from the transmitters.
The Science Center has funding from PSNH again this year to tag four more New Hampshire ospreys and follow their migrations. MacLeod said this season the center will track four adults as the failure rate for juveniles on their maiden flight is so high. The transmitters run more than $4,000 apiece.
Schools that want to get involved in the new international osprey project should contact MacLeod at email@example.com.

From the people who brought you "Dirty Laundry" (the best Punisher film EVER), comes the story of Eddie Brock, a sleazy journalist walking the mean streets of New York City in 1984.
Captured on black and white film by a French documentary crew, Brock (True Blood's Ryan Kwanten) gives the filmmakers the inside scoop on life in the big city, showing them how to snag the big stories and gain access to places other journalists don't dare go.
But why is this worth mentioning? Well, if you don't already know, Eddie Brock is the alter ego of the original Venom, Spider-Man's longtime foe. This faux documentary fills in the gaps between the panels around the time of the character's debut in Marvel comics, with plenty of verbal nods to that effect peppered throughout the 17 minute video.
And be sure to stick around after the credits for a pseudo-crossover that might hint at the crew's next Marvelesque project in the Adi Shankar Brand "Bootleg Universe" series.
Starring Ryan Kwanten
Written & Directed by Joe Lynch
Produced by Adi Shankar & Sam Balcomb
And in case you haven't ever seen "Dirty Laundry", here's your chance to check it out (starring Thomas Jane, one of the actual cinematic Punishers!)

New Delhi, India -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/20/2013 -- Health media has been literally singing praises for raspberry ketones for more than a year now. This is a supplement that has been in the news since 2012 and it is known to be equally popular in the current year.
Raspberry ketone is not just famous for its natural and safe weight loss effects but is also supposed to be a powerful detox supplement that can promote better overall health.
"Raspberry ketone is known to have featured on various health shows on TV. It has also been dubbed as the "miracle fat burner in a bottle" by fitness experts" says a FatBurnSupplements.com spokesperson.
Raspberry ketones are known to be extremely effective in enhancing fat burning ability of the body. This is because these compounds are known to increase secretion of hormone adiponectin in the body which is responsible for regulating metabolic rate in the body. By increasing its level, raspberry ketones help boost fat burning in the body.
Raspberry ketones are compounds that are extracted from red raspberries and they have been approved by the FDA since 1965. They do not have any side effects and are considered to be quite safe.
"Though there are a lot of raspberry ketone pills in the market, one of the best ones is a highly powerful combination of raspberry ketones and acai berry. Ketone Ultra is a high potency pill that combines raspberry ketones with the power of acai berry, green tea, blueberries and pomegranates" says a FatBurnSupplements.com spokesperson.
Acai berry has been considered a superfruit and is highly recommended by health experts for reducing weight and improving overall health. It is supposed to be a rich source of antioxidants, minerals, amino acids and vitamins.

Past participants at The Big Sell Entrepreneurs in Action contest have pitched a wide range of ideas: biodegradable to-go soup containers, solar cells, all-in-one portable campfires, closed-finger Mixed Martial Arts gloves and a device that teaches people how to draw.
This year, the competition has gotten even bigger, with more prize money and categories.
Big Sell organizers have doubled the amount of prize money to $120,000. They also created technology, open, and social entrepreneurship or environmental categories so widely disparate ideas – say for musical spoons and kiosk-based diabetic retinopathy screenings – do not compete head-to-head.
"We're trying to capture more ideas and innovations than in the past," said Dushan Nikolovski, director of the Purdue Calumet's Center for Entrepreneurship Success.
The Center is sponsoring the annual event, which is now in its third year.
"The whole purpose is to impact economic growth," he said. "If we showcase entrepreneurs and give offices space to all the winners, maybe they open businesses. Maybe they create five, 10 or 20 jobs and make an economic impact."
Entrepreneurs have come from as far away as Yale and Texas Christian universities, but a goal is to get more Northwest Indiana residents to participate, Nikolovski said.
Participants get two minutes to pitch ideas to judges and audience members, who vote with clickers. The idea is to democratize the judging and make it more like the marketplace where the products would either flourish or flounder, he said.
Nikolovski came up with the clickers idea after attending other entrepreneurial competitions and puzzling over some of the judge's decisions. Letting potential consumers vote prevents head-scratching dismissals of worthy offerings,
"The audience does not make mistakes," he said. "They know what they want. They know if they would buy it for themselves."
Winners and second-place in each category also get free office space for a year in the Hammond INnovation Center and a business plan from Purdue Cal students, as well as volunteered legal, accounting and marketing services.
They also could potentially land a funding opportunity of up to $1 million, since the statewide entrepreneurial initiative Elevate Ventures will have representatives on-hand to assess the presentations.
Entrepreneurs who do not win do not necessarily walk away empty-handed because they gain exposure and experience promoting their products, Nikolovski said. A participant for the first Big Sell has gone onto sell her wares on the home shopping network QVC.
Real Food Blends founder Julie Bombacino highlighted her all-natural feeding tube meals at The Big Sell and did not win the contest, but secured $250,000 in start-up capital from Elevate Ventures.
Applications will be accepted at www.thebigsell.org until March 1. Those accepted into the competition will be notified by March 7.
The event, slated for March 29 at the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza in Merrillville, costs $25 to attend, including for the selected participants. The door fee includes breakfast, lunch and cookies.
For more information, email info@thebigsell.

Texas lawmakers have enacted a law (formerly H.B. 7) that will overhaul the state's workers' compensation program. The new law, which will take effect this month, abolishes the current Texas Workers' Compensation Commission and replaces it with the Office of Injured Employee Public Counsel. The law, meant to cut costs, will operate like an HMO, where injured workers see doctors approved by the commission and work within certain medical networks.

Background/Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of venlafaxine in the treatment of major depression in dementia. Methods: Thirty-one outpatients who had dementia and major depression participated in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 6-week, flexible dose clinical trial. The screening measures were Cornell Scale for depression in dementia, DSM-IV for depression and dementia and Mini-Mental State Examination. The outcome measures were response rate, Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating scale and Clinical Global Impressions. Results: The percentage of patients defined as Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating scale responders was approximately the same in the placebo and in the venlafaxine groups. Clinical Global Impressions showed no significant difference between the groups. The reasons for dropouts show borderline significance between the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the venlafaxine and placebo-treated groups. Conclusions: Our data do not support the hypothesis that venlafaxine improves mood in elderly demented patients.

Beyonce Feminism Debate Resolved
"A deeply personal Beyoncé debate: Should she get to be a feminist?" I know none of these things are ever fully settled until an older white man weighs in, so let me provide some authority and finality to this deliberation by asserting that, sure, why the hell not, Beyoncé gets to be a feminist. Now you may go back to your lives, we have spoken.

She knows how to look good in a photograph. Photo: Haw-lin
Let's be honest: we are living in the age of vanity. The Vanity Age, if you will. Never before has it been so important to put your best face forward. We're all ashamed to admit it, but the facts speak for themselves: everybody reading this is on Facebook. We've all curated a utopian online world for ourselves filled with fun and exciting life facts, profound quotes and good looking photographs. But what happens when the perfect world gets spoiled? What happens when we're tagged in an unflattering photograph? Or, even worse, what happens when a nasty photograph surfaces in print... Or on a blog or website with no 'Untag' functionality? Darkness, that's what. And it could happen at any time – at a party, walking down the street, hanging out at your friend's house. You're never safe. The solution is simple: always be prepared. Learn how to look good in a photograph. Here's what the experts (that I talked to and/or googled) have to say.
When I was working at a modelling agency back in 2007, the biggest tip we used to give to guys who walked in the door was this: keep your head tilted down in photographs. Men have this natural, subconscious reaction to out-macho everybody within a five mile radius as soon as a camera is raised. They lift themselves up and tilt their heads back like baboons. The result is that most men end up looking like baboons in photographs. When a man's head is tilted just a little bit forward, it defines his jaw line. When it's tilted just a little bit back, he loses any jaw definition. Men: keep your heads down in photographs.
According to male model Mark Cox, "Don't try to look like Zoolander!"
According to a female model who preferred not to be named, "If you think you look weird when you smile, don't smile."
According to celebrity photographer Josh Kessler, "The most important thing is to feel comfortable and relaxed."
According to every Myspace user, ever, make sure your face is at least a metre below the camera.
According to an interview with Gisele Bundchen I read about four years ago, girls should imagine they have a 50 cent piece between their lips (like the girl in the photograph above). Don't pout, but don't keep your mouth closed either. Apparently it makes the lips appear fuller.
According to Tyra Banks, "Smize!"
According to Kiwi photographer Benjamin Walls, "Practice, practice, practice!" (I assume he means in front of a mirror.)
According to photographer Louise Hatton, "Chin forward and down! That is the key! Gets rid of any double chins and stretches the neck to look long!"
According to photographer Oliver Rose, "We all have seen unfortunate freezes when streaming video content which highlight that we all look absolutely hideous mid speech. Find something to do with your mouth and the rest will follow. Check Zippora Seven's common poking the tongue out backstage expression for inspiration."
According to Colin Mathura-Jeffree, "No matter how you hold your expression if you want your eyes to scream beyond the page then think of someone you HATE or LOVE. Colinisation."
According to Rhiyen Sharp of 62 Models, "Know your good side and stick to it, turn your head slightly so you get some jawline definition, and then eye the camera like it's an ex who left you watching you deliver your Oscar acceptance speech. Oh and suck in your cheeks."

May is usually the quietest of the close season months when it comes to signing new players at any British football club, but the signs are that this is not going to be the case at Cardiff City this year, with two new arrivals already confirmed, a bid accepted for a player and reports of another having taken a medical at the club late last week prior to signing for us tomorrow.
Strictly speaking, one of the confirmed signings does not become a Cardiff player until 1 July, but, understandably, the club wanted to confirm that the deal to sign Spanish striker Javi Guerra from Valladolid, that was originally struck in January/February, was still going ahead – I'm pretty sure that I wasn't the only City fan who believed stories that appeared in the media a few weeks later saying that Guerra would not be coming to Cardiff if we got relegated from the Premier League. Well, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær partially reassured us doubters about ten days ago by stating that the contract Guerra had signed for us was "watertight" and, sure enough, the official site confirmed the deal on Wednesday.
With Guerra being out of contract this summer at Valladolid, no transfer fee is involved, but the fact the deal was struck while we were still a Premier League club must, surely, indicate that the Spaniard is going to be receiving a sizable signing on fee plus a hefty salary and this goes straight to the heart of the doubts I have about this signing. At 32, Guerra is certainly in the autumn (or, even, early winter) of his career and, although I suspect that offering him a three year deal was the only way we were going to get him, it's hard to avoid a suspicion that he is at Cardiff, primarily, for the big pay day he was looking for before hanging up his boots and not to do all he can to get us back into the top flight.
To balance things up though, it's only fair to both the player and his new club to state that, 32 or not, if Guerra's attitude is spot on then we seem to have made a fine signing. Guerra's goalscoring record, particularly in recent seasons, is very impressive and, it's worth pointing out that he only scored one goal less in what is, arguably, the better league than Swansea's Wilfreid Bony did in the Premier League – Bony was the only reliable goalscorer in the bottom half of that division during the season just finished, just imagine the difference us having a striker that scored the fifteen goals Guerra did might have made to our season.
So, I'd like to think that Guerra can be a potent striker in the Championship, but I honestly haven't a clue how Guido Burgstaller will fare for us. Burgstaller, who can play anywhere in midfield, but seems to have been used primarily on the left, has said his biggest asset is his commitment and work rate and the obligatory you tube video (yes I know!) looks pretty good. Looking for negatives, seven caps by the age of twenty five for a country rated below Wales in the FIFA rankings doesn't suggest someone who is going to take the Championship by storm, but it needs to be said that Austria are an improving side and those caps have all come in the last two years.
Furthermore, that you tube video doesn't include anything from last season when Burgstaller scored twelve times for a Rapid Vienna side that finished runner's up in the Austrian league, so it's probably true to say that we have signed someone who is playing the best football of his career so far.
The player who is, apparently, signing for us tomorrow is Fredrico Macheda who was recently released by Manchester United. Since making a sensational impact with goals in his first couple of appearances at the back end of the 2008/09, Macheda struggled to hit such heights again at Old Trafford and his subsequent loan spells at various clubs around Europe have not really been too successful either, apart from the recent one at Birmingham where he managed ten goals in eighteen appearances for a struggling team.
Looking at Macheda's career, the ability definitely seems to be there, but recent years have seen a gradual decline in performance that Ole will be hoping to turn around. All of that sounds suspiciously like the Kenwyne Jones situation to me, but I suppose the fact that our manager has worked with Macheda at Manchester United offers hope that he can get something out of the player that others have not been able to – always provided the stories about him coming to Cardiff are true of course.
If Macheda really is signing for us, then it may indicate that our £3 million bid for Lewis Grabban of Bournemouth is dead in the water. That sum met the release clause in the striker's contract, but we were not the only club after Grabban by any means and if one of those happens to be in the Premiership then the new reality for City is that we are, almost certainly, going to lose out to them in any battle for the player's signature.
I suppose one way in which Guerra, Macheda and Grabban could all end up playing for City next season is if there are wholesale departures from the club during the summer. It's generally accepted that players such as Steve Caulker and Gary Medel are going to be leaving and I'll be very surprised if David Marshall is still with us come September as well – Jordon Mutch, Craig Noone, Kevin Theophile-Catherine are others who may well attract interest through the summer and, although Chairman Mehmet Dalman (who last week denied he was on the verge of leaving the club) has spoken of the club's desire to keep Fraizer Campbell, there are rumours that the striker has a sell on clause in his contract which enables him to speak to clubs which meet the value of that clause in the event of us being relegated (Leicester are already reported to have offered £1 million for the striker) – there have been stories of possible interest from Newcastle in Kenwyne Jones as well.
Tommy Smith and Simon Lappin have both been released, while Don Cowie has not made a decision yet on the new contract the club have offered and with Craig Bellamy having, unsurprisingly, announced his retirement (thanks for some great memories Craig), there are going to be plenty of players leaving during the summer even if Ole decides to keep all of the other ones he inherited (which I doubt – for example, it wouldn't surprise me much if Nicky Maynard became another striker to leave the club).
Before finishing on the transfer front, I should just mention that we've been linked with moves for a couple of midfield players with Championship clubs in Huddersfield's Adam Clayton and Middlesbrough's Grant Leadbitter – whether something should be read into the fact that City immediately issued a denial of the Leadbitter story, but not the Clayton one remains to be seen.
Although the cynic in me can't help thinking that all of these early signings may be a reaction to poor season ticket sales, it must be said that it has to be a good thing that we are trying to get players in quickly. However, I've not seen anything yet about the club addressing what I believe is the biggest on field problem we have at the moment – that is, making us more secure defensively.
We were hopeless at keeping out the opposition in the second half of the season especially (and that was with Marshall, Caulker and Medel in the side). We've become too nice a team to play against under Ole and, no matter how many strikers and attacking midfield players we bring in, we are not going to get anywhere until we get back to a situation whereby conceding more than one goal a game becomes a rarity rather than the norm. Just expecting things to improve because we are playing at a lower level is asking for trouble in my view because nothing I have seen so far from either our manager or the coaching staff he brought with him encourages me to believe that the expertise needed to provide us with a defence as organised as the one we had for most of the decade we spent in the Championship before our promotion is there at the moment – bringing in a respected defensive coach would be as important as any on field signing we make this summer in my book.
Returning to the theme of poor season ticket sales, work on the extension to the Ninian Stand (from hereon referred to as "Tan's folly" on here), continues in preparation for the European Super Cup to be played between Real Madrid (congratulations to Gareth Bale for his goal last night by the way) and Sevilla on 12 August. Hopefully, the ground will be full that night, but there is the real prospect that when Cardiff City play there next season, the 33,000 capacity stadium will only be just over half full .
Finally, QPR's extremely fortunate 1-0 win over Derby yesterday in the Championship Play Off Final sent them back into the Premier League and the winners in today's League One Final between Rotherham and Leyton Orient (come on you O's!) will complete the line up in the second tier for next season. Credit to QPR for sneaking a win after having former City loan player Gary O'Neil sent off with half an hour left, but the result was something of a travesty as, the first twenty minutes or so apart, Derby were the better team throughout. Still, I suppose QPR's promotion offers some hope to City because it shows that a club that gets relegated in last place in the Premier League whilst becoming a national laughing stock can make an immediate return to that division despite being almost as much of a shambles in the Championship – there's hope for us yet!by The other Bob Wilson with 2 comments
There's been something of a running joke amongst some Cardiff fans since the autumn about Crystal Palace and their "flair". Back in October and November when Palace were lording it over the rest of the Championship, their messageboards were full of stuff about how their flair would take them to promotion and the title. Well, yesterday they got their promotion, but they owed it to a Play Off campaign which relied greatly on the more prosaic qualities that saw Cardiff comfortably win the title. The best thing about Palace going up for me was that Danny Gabbidon (who, after a superb debut season at West Ham, has had a pretty rough time of it since leaving us in 2005) was able to set what I'm pretty sure must be a record as the only player to have got promotion through the Play Offs twice in sides which didn't concede a single goal in the tension packed mini tournament which finishes off the Football League season.
Actually, yesterdays 1-0 win by Palace over Watford reminded me a lot of our win over QPR (it was the tenth anniversary of that never to be forgotten day on Saturday), in that it was a memorable match for the participants (by that I mean players, staff and supporters of both clubs, but particularly the winners) and pretty awful viewing for the neutral. To be fair, the prize on offer in footballing terms, but more so in what it would mean financially to the winner, was always going to have an effect on the game. In past years, it has been a positive effect as sides have decided to give it a right go, but, with the money to the winner now probably more than double what it was when were beaten by Blackpool three years ago, it's not too surprising that the two highest scoring sides in the Championship produced a cagey affair in which it took something like sixty five minutes for either keeper to be forced into a serious save.
If the quality was poor, there was at least justice in that the right team won – Palace dominated the second half and there should really have been no need for extra time, but their lack of a killer touch allowed Watford to keep on believing that they could still prevail (even if it was on penalties). It has to be said that Watford were the latest in a long line of sides who froze on their big day. The much hyped Troy Deeney had something of a nightmare, but, it was home grown players like Doyley and Hogg who looked least effected by this occasion. As for their foreign legion, it was ironic that the only two of that large group who made any positive impact were the ones who had signed for the club permanently, as Almunia made a series of saves to keep Palace out in the closing stages and Forestieri provided what was virtually their only real goal threat when a lovely dribble and shot was cleared off the line by Ward in the last minute of extra time.
It was mediocrity all round for the Hornets' army of loan signings however, with the efforts of Marco Cassetti exemplifying the nerves shown by too many of their players. In the early minutes of the game the commentators told us that Watford fans had christened the veteran Italian international "Cool Cassetti", but it was hard to think of less appropriate adjective to apply to him as a series of poor passes, defensive errors and fouls marked him out as a weak link on the day. Eventually, it was a case of one foul too many by Cassetti as Wilfred Zaha (maybe too greedy on occasions, but, by a distance, the most dangerous attacking player on the pitch) tempted him into the indiscretion which gave Palace their matchwinning penalty.
Zaha apart, it was Palace's back four and defensive midfield man Jedinak who were most responsible for their win – it was boring but important things like defensive organisation and being stronger mentally then their opponents that won the day for them, not flair.
So, forty one days after our promotion was confirmed, the last of the three sides to go up has been identified and I suppose that, with no new signings announced yet, it could be argued that we have not taken advantage of the additional time sides that go up automatically get over the one that wins the Play Off's when it comes to the transfer market. I'm not so sure about that though, the number of names being linked to us may have slowed to something of a trickle lately, but I'm sure progress is being made and if it takes weeks and months to get our targets here, then so be it. That said, some of the names mentioned so far look more likely than others – based on what we have seen from him in the near two years he's been at Cardiff, QPR's Jamie Mackie looks like an archetypal Malky Mackay player and Assistant Manager David Kerslake's knowledge of Lewis McGugan through his time at Forest makes the goalscoring midfield player a realistic target as a Bosman free transfer in my book.
The truth is though that it is this story which has caused most Cardiff City related comment in the past ten days or so. Quite what all of this might mean I don't know because high finance is most definitely not my forte, but Keith Morgan (Since 62 on City messageboards) is someone whose opinions are never far off the mark when it comes to the club's finances and it's interesting to read what he has to say in this thread from the Cardiff City Forum messageboard. So, if Keith is right, it might be that this has something to do with the ongoing negotiations regarding the Langston debt. When he attended the last home game of the season, what I will call sources close to Sam Hammam were claiming that good news on this long standing debt was on it's way within four weeks, well, it's more than that now since our former owner was a guest of Vincent Tans for the Bolton match, so does this mean that negotiations did not go as well as first supposed?
No doubt there'll be more rumours and, possibly, some concrete information on this subject through the close season and it will be one of a number of matters I can report and comment on during the summer, but, with the football finished now for a couple of months, we are back in that time of year where I will provide a weekly report on what has been happening with Cardiff City in the past seven days. My plan is to report what I see as major stories within a day or so of them breaking, but otherwise, it will just be a summing up on the weekend until pre season matches start in late July – in the mean time, I'd just like to wish all readers of this blog a summer which actually lives up to that description on the weather front!

We've obtained a video of Chris Brown telling his fans how sorry he is over the Rihanna assault.
Brown says he wanted to apologize earlier but couldn't on the advice of his lawyer.
Why would he wait until now to apologize? Does that make any sense? NO!!! He said that he grew up around domestic violence during his life. That's not an excuse. Too many people use that as an excuse. I'm only 15 and I grew up around domestic violence, you don't see me hitting my mother. He should've said sorry to Rihanna a few days after it happened. I don't know what the hell he was thinking of apologizing publicly now. This thing happened 5 months ago. I used to be fan of Chris , but now, I lost respect for him.
BULL SH*T! He has a new album coming out ! That is the ONLY reason he is "apologizing" now! Remember that video he put on youtube where he was like You are all haters! blah blah blah!!!
what's with the Star Trek outfit?!?
you guys are so unfair - he admitted he did "something" - he took his punishment, he did not try to get off and say he was innocent. He admitted GUILT. He is publically saying sorry. GOODNESS! he is a young kid, who made a mistake. Give him a freaking break. Those of us who are reading TMZ, like this kind of crap, tht has no importance in our own lives. And some of you get off on being mean to celebrites hoping to hurt their feelings or their pocket$$. It doesnt, if anything brigns them more money! THIS TYPE OF ABUSE GOES ON IN THE WORLD ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT! At least Chris, is commiting to his consquences & making a public statement - he is not a coward and running away from it. He is manning up and is taking like a man should.
Chris, of course it shoud not have went down the way it did, and we still have not heard from the "other party" what really happened, but I am sure, her mouth played a part in your reaction. I am not making excuses for you - you should have controlled yourself but dang, it takes two to Tango (IN THIS CASE). If Ri-Ri aint tripping, why are you? It was a private matter that went public. How would you respond if all your dirt landed in the media on a daily basis.
Give the kid a break.
Although it was one heck of a speech.. Its obvious to me he either memorized what to say or is reading from something. Thats why it probably took him months to come out and apologize. The jerk was taking his time writing the perfect speech. I am a believer in forgiveness; but I won't be listening to his music. How about coming out and saying don't blame the victim Chris. He should make some type of foundation or work close with one against domestic abuse for me to believe he's truly sorry..
He's sorry he beat a young girl till she bled. He's a thug. This is not something you can apologize for with words. Maybe if he gave a million or so to a battered woman's shelter. But these are just hollow words. He should have gone to prison. Hopefully his career is over.
105. Seriously can someone tell people of all ages, gender and races that it's ASK not AXE !!!! I live in Houston and a famous basketball player has a radio show and is always "axing" people questions. Pass it on !!!

fs, I couldn't agree more. While "someone's at it" the "t" in often is always silent. Some people just never pay attention in high school English class! Or just don't go at all.
WOW! Well it looks like acting is not in Chris Brown's future either. He makes me sick.
Forgiveness can only come if there is one of the 3R's: Remorse, Repentance, or Regret. No one can know his heart but our creator. Since actions speak louder than words, only time will tell. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt people, gosh. Constantly criticism is DEstructive, how about some CONstructive criticism to build instead of tear down, huh?
Chris I forgive you. You sound sincere to me. I just don't understand people who don't know how to forgive. It is in the BIBLE Christians! If Rihanna can forgive him why can't we? Everybody makes mistakes. Its not like he did it before. This was an isolated incident. Chris is still very young and came from a house of abuse. He has learned his lesson and promised us it will never happen again. Have a little compassion! He is very talented and I will buy his music again if its as good as his past music.
He messed up, and he's sorry. Simple as that. I wish him and his ex well.
One last comment to all the forgiving people here, especially the girls and women: You can't change a person like this by being nice and compassionate. He only thinks you are suckers, easily duped. Just stay away from the beaters, be they talented or not.
Open letter to YOU ARE FORGIVEN CHRIS
You are a douche bag too.
125. Why would he wait until now to apologize? Does that make any sense? NO!!! He said that he grew up around domestic violence during his life. That's not an excuse. Too many people use that as an excuse. I'm only 15 and I grew up around domestic violence, you don't see me hitting my mother. He should've said sorry to Rihanna a few days after it happened. I don't know what the hell he was thinking of apologizing publicly now. This thing happened 5 months ago. I used to be fan of Chris , but now, I lost respect for him.

good for you Naomi, you sound very smart and logical for a 15 year old.
as for CB's apology, I'm not interested, it's only to save his crappy career now and is worthless. does he deserve a second chance? yeah sure...he got one. he didn't end up dead or in jail...had he beat ME up my dad and my brothers would make sure he ended up dead and that would be the only way he'd avoid jail time. as far as a "second chance" for his career...HELL NO, I will not spend one penny of my hard earned money to make this loser rich. let him go get a real job working at McDonald's or something similar like every other 19 year old, maybe then he will realize how blessed he was and how he ruined his own life by being an out of control violent animal. if the comments in this thread are any indication of how many fans he's got left then I say HA HA...might as well hang up your career now...quit while you're ahead loser. for every one naive, stupid little girl who is "still a CB fan" and "loves him for life" there are about 50 posts telling him to go shove it. I can't wait until his next album crashes and burns. buh buy breezy. you're done.
Wow-AT LEAST he is admitting to doing wrong;the damage is done and he obviously knows he can't change that- but at least he got the apology out there and now he can try to move on from the incident and SEE if this apology will help or hurt him in his career.
It does look scripted though, but it was well thought out and most of the time a lot of stars who speak directly into cameras have a teleprompter nearby.....
Whether not it is a publicity stunt not-if we were in his shoes and knew we screwed up our career was about to be in the tank and worked so hard for, I'm sure we all would be laying low (as he has done) and try to say sorry and recover what is left of a career.
No taking sides, I mean HE DID DO Rhianna wrong, but we have seen these things happen to superstars and star athletes ALL THE TIME.

Well most of them use the really big kites and give them a test flight or two with a matching weight that isn't a fragile camera. Most of the rigs I see are cheap disposable camera with a radio controlled remote or a timer.
I think the hard part would be getting a village to allow a stranger to fly a kite bearing electronics over thier rooftops.
Maybe I'm just still miffed at Boston for 1-31-07.

Apple drops $30 million to buy talk radio app Swell
Fans of talk radio may be familiar with the app called Swell. It's rather like Pandora, but specifically for talk radio and the company behind the app had raised $7.2 million from investors. Word has surfaced from multiple sources that Apple has now purchased Swell for about $30 million.
Apple has been on a buying spree of late with the massive $3 billion purchase of Beats and another purchase of a book recommendation service called BookLamp. Swell is an app designed to make it easy to listen to talk radio and podcasts in your car.
With Apple purchasing Swell, the app will be shut down this week. That is definitely not good news for fans of the app, but Apple is likely to integrate the tech into one of its existing apps. Odds are Swell tech will be used to replace Apple's own Podcast app. A large portion of the Swell team will be joining Apple.
Google photographs Liberty and Ellis Islands for Google Maps
Google has been mapping tourist locations around the world for years now and puts the images it generates into virtual tours you can take via Google Maps. Reports have come in that indicate Google is now getting ready to make tours of Ellis Island and Liberty Island available for virtual tours.
Google has reportedly been collecting images of both islands in preparation to add the content to its online maps service. The images were taken by a Google backpack wearing man named Alberto Elias according to the NYT. The reason it's taken so long to get access to Liberty and Ellis islands is that the National Park Service operates them and a long process has to be worked through to gain access to the islands.
The Trekker backpack has 15 cameras along with GPS and a laser system on top that is used to measure the distance to objects. Liberty Island is a heavily visited landmark and the faces of those in the images will be blurred out before they are put online.
Crytek says that it is going through a 'transitional phase'
Crytek has been going some tough times lately, not paying its employees on time, key talent leaving, and more, but the German studio behind CryEngine and Crysis has finally made a formal statement to GamesIndustry.
The company said that it "has been in a transitional phase" as it changes from being a developer to an online publisher, something that requires considerable sums of money. Crytek said that it has secured the money required, and is better prepared for the long term, but added that "we won't be communicating further details about our developments and progress".

Verizon will be pumping the brakes on its unlimited LTE plans
It looks like Verizon is about to make its unlimited LTE plans a little less appealing by throttling customers who download too much. Droid Life has confirmed that Verizon will be reducing the speed of its consumers' unlimited LTE plans once they reach a certain amount of traffic.
This magic number is set at 4.7GB, and is the result of something Verizon is labeling as "Network Optimization". This will see unlimited LTE users experiencing throttled speeds once they jump over 4.7GB of usage within a month, is on an unlimited data plan, and in a two-year contract, and attemps to "use data on a cell site that is experiencing high demand".
Google purchase of Twitch has been confirmed
It has now been confirmed by a source that Google has signed a deal that sees it buying live streaming firm Twitch used by gamers all around the world. The confirmation comes from people who claim to be familiar with the deal, and according to the source, the transaction cost Google $1 billion.
It's unclear when the deal will be announced no confirmation form Google or Twitch has been made so far. Some analysts feel that the deal emphasizes the increasing appeal of watching live gaming as a competitive sport.
Reports indicated in the past that Google had made an all cash offer to buy Twitch. Google certainly has the money sitting in its coffers to make an all cash purchase. Twitch is a service that allows people to broadcast their game play live on the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
Oyster all you can read digital book service hits browsers
If you really like to read a lot, you may already have a subscription to Oyster. Oyster is a subscription service that gives you access to around 100,000 digital books for a monthly fee of $9.95. The service has been around for about ten months now and started on iOS.
Not too long ago Oyster expanded to Android and the Amazon Kindle Fire tablets as well. The library Oyster offers has also grown to about 500,000 titles. Some more good news has come from Oyster this week as it has announced subscribers can now read via a browser.
Begin able to read via a browser means that you can open your favorite book on a computer and read all you want. Amazon plans to compete with Oyster and recently announced Kindle Unlimited with 600,000 titles available for the same monthly fee as Oyster.
Comixology now offers DRM-free digital comics to fans
Comixology is a digital distributor of comic books that was purchased by Amazon in April of this year. During Comic-Con international in San Diego this week, the company made an announcement that fans of digital comic books will love.
Comixology is ready to offer users a number of DRM-free comic books. With no DRM to mess things up, buyers of the digital comics can copy and share DRM-free comic books and can store them on their devices permanently. This may seem a bit strange to fans of comics considering that Comixology was reportedly working to get the tools for stripping DRM taken off Github not long ago.
The important thing here is that this announcement doesn't mean all comics the site offers will be DRM-free. Publishers of the digital comics will have the option of making them DRM-free if they choose.
Google approves only about 50% of right to be forgotten requests
Google has found itself in hot water over how it is handling the right to be forgotten requests it receives in Europe. Google lost a case not too long ago that meant it has to remove links to some stories about people, if asked by the person the story is about.
Google has reportedly only granted half of all right to be forgotten requests sent in by consumers so far. Requests to have content forgotten have been coming in since May and so far 91,000 requests have been made, with only about half granted according to a source.
Google reportedly believes that the ruling on the right to be forgotten case strikes the wrong balance between the right to be forgotten and the right to know for other consumers. Google has been notifying publishers when a link to a story is removed under the right to be forgotten ruling to give the publisher a chance to fight the removal.
Alienware announces it now accepts bitcoin as payment, offers $150 off
It was only a few days ago that the now privately-owned Dell opened up another payment option: bitcoin. Now the company has announced that its subsidiary arm, Alienware, also accepts the digital currency as payment for its custom-made goods.
Alienware took to Twitter to announce the news, with @Alienware saying: "Alienware now accepts Bitcoin! For a limited time, get up to $150 off when using this payment method! http://www.alienware.com/". As you can see, Alienware is actually offering $150 off any purchase on its goods when using bitcoin, which is a nice way of attracting some new customers.
Amazon adds hundreds of thousands of tracks to Prime Music catalog
Amazon is doing very well with its Prime service that offers free and discounted shipping on thousands of items on its website. Amazon also offers Prime subscribers access to streaming video and recently added free music streaming to the mix.
Amazon has announced that it has now added hundreds of thousands more songs to its music library to address one of its main drawbacks at launch. When Prime Music launched it lacked song selection and a mix of current hits. The expanded offerings include artists new to Prime music and additional tracks from artists already available.
Among the new artists added to the catalog are David Guetta, Al Green, Miles Davis, Kendrick Lamar, Linkin Park, Shakira, Deadmau5, Ella Fitzgerald, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Neil Young, DJ Snake & Lil Jon, Young the Giant, A$AP Rocky, Elvis, Oasis, Kacey Musgraves, Ray Charles, Panic! at the Disco, Wyclef Jean, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Skrillex, and John Coltrane among others. Many of those aren't exactly current, but more music is a good thing. Amazon still has no deal in place with Universal, which is the home of some of the most popular artists of today.

William Frederick Meggers
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
William Frederick Meggers (July 13, 1888 – November 19, 1966) was an American physicist specialising in spectroscopy.
Born in Clintonville, Wisconsin, he had to combine his early schooling with working on the family farm, but earned a scholarship to Ripon College, receiving a bachelor's degree in Physics in 1910 and working as a research assistant. After a few years at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, in 1914 he joined the National Bureau of Standards, and while working there earned his PhD from Johns Hopkins University.
His work in spectrochemistry is generally credited to have sparked interest in the field in the United States, leading to him being dubbed the Dean of American spectroscopists.
In 1947 he received the Frederic Ives Medal. He was awarded the Elliott Cresson Medal in 1953. Since 1970, the Optical Society of America has awarded the William F. Meggers Award for outstanding work in spectroscopy.
In 1965, Dr. Meggers and his wife, Edith R. Meggers, donated their coin and stamp collections to the American Institute of Physics, for the express purpose of establishing a biennial award program for the improvement of physics teaching at the high school level. Awards have been presented since 1994.
The crater Meggers on the Moon is named in his honor.
His daughter and oldest child is Betty Meggers, who also received her doctorate and became a noted archeologist at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, specializing in South American pre-Columbian archeology.

Concert highs and lows
Seattle Times readers rave about holiday lights and rant about ticket scalpers.
RAVE For all the festive cranes in Seattle lit up with multicolored lights and Christmas trees, and to all the creative and civic-minded contractors who go to the trouble to place holiday lights on their construction cranes to add color to our skyline. Thanks for the gift of good cheer!
RANT To the young driver at the stop sign in the Fred Meyer parking lot, honking and waving his cellphone at me because I wasn't walking out of his way fast enough. I hope you put down your phone and find some holiday spirit because the next person you rage at may not be as forgiving as I am.
RAVE I took my son to his first concert, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis at KeyArena. The show was terrific, like a love note to Seattle. And the young couple sitting next to us were so great and engaging with my son. They were fun, considerate and helped make the evening truly memorable.
RANT To the high-school students who park in my neighborhood and leave their trash scattered on the sidewalks and streets.
RAVE To UW Husky quarterback Keith Price, for all he contributes to the UW program and for being a leader on and off the field. Your loyalty, humility and positive attitude is inspiring. God bless.
RANT To all you out there smoking marijuana while driving. We can all smell you three cars away; your tinted windows don't hide anything. Just because weed is legal doesn't mean you can smoke while driving, any more than you can open a beer behind the wheel. Keep your recreation at home where it belongs.
RAVE For the volunteers helping people sign up for the Affordable Care Act at Seattle Public Library branches. It took me three in-person sessions to get my somewhat unusual situation figured out, and all three volunteers I worked with were friendly, encouraging and very patient.
RANT To the lowlife who sold me four costly, bogus tickets to Pearl Jam, promising they were good. I told you the concert was on my birthday and you assured me not to worry. You went to great lengths to make tickets look real, printed on Ticketmaster card stock and in a Ticketmaster envelope. What a lousy thing to do when I worked long and hard to earn the money for those tickets, and what a horrible experience on my birthday.

The Lions' attempt to run a no-huddle offense against the Bears last week resulted in one of the more inept offensive displays in the team's spotty recent history. At least one Lions player, Dominic Raiola, says he actually felt humiliated in the midst of such a self-inflicted calamity.
"There was no communication," Raiola said. "It looked like we were a Pop Warner team, people running 'Go' routes and throwing underneath, and throwing long routes and [receivers] running underneath. It was terrible. I was embarrassed to be out there. I mean, like coach [OC Jim Colletto] said yesterday, I'd have booed myself."
The Lions say they will scrap the no-huddle against the Vikings and go back to sucking in the usual way. Meanwhile, the Lions announced that Jon Kitna is officially out for today's game, and that Dan Orlovsky will make his first NFL start. An old familiar face to Vikings fans – Drew Henson – has been signed from the practice squad to be the #3 quarterback. Yes, Drew Henson. That's how bad it's gotten for the Lions.
