NBA All-Star weekend means beefed-up security, LAPD says
Police plan to ramp up security this weekend in conjunction with the NBA All-Star game at Staples Center -- an event some say could draw at least 100,000 fans and participants to the Los Angeles' central core.
The Los Angeles Police Department will deploy extra gang officers and foot-patrol units downtown, and K-9 teams will have dogs sniffing arriving cars, limousines and buses for bombs, department officials said Wednesday in a statement.
The LAPD, which is working with the Department of Homeland Security, also will use checkpoints and external cameras to monitor the vicinity of Staples Center, L.A. Live and the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The All-Star game is scheduled for 5 p.m. Sunday, but related events will be held throughout the weekend.

Another electric motorcycle post. (Here is the post on the wind-recharged drag racing motorcycle) This new one is a solar powered motorcycle. The site claims that the bike can go 50 miles on a full charge (from Gas2.org). This is easily possible, but how long would it take to charge with normal solar panels? Here is an image of the bike.
Questions to be answered: How much energy would the bike need to go 50 miles? How much power (average) could you expect to get from the solar panels? And...how long would it take to charge this sucker. I am sure you can store enough energy in a battery to go 50 miles and even a tiny solar cell could charge this - but would it be practical?
How much energy to go 50 miles
I can cheat on this question, because I am a cheater. If I were not a cheater, I would estimate the air resistance of the bike and how many times it would need to speed up so that the total energy would look something like this:
If the bike were going at a constant speed, I could calculate the air resistance force (estimating some stuff). Delta x would be 50 miles. I would probably estimate 5 times the energy needed to bring it up to 70 mph for the KE and I am not sure what I would do about the other frictional forces (and energy lost).
So, how do I cheat? If I assume a normal (average) motorcycle gets about 50 miles per gallon, then the energy needed for a bike like that would related to the energy stored in 1 gallon of gas. Wikipedia has a good list of the energy densities of various materials. It lists gasoline as 34.2 MJ/L. (this would be 129 MJ/gallon). Of course, not all of this energy goes to useful things. Let me assume that the engine is about 25% efficient. This gives the energy for 50 miles as:
Now you see how I cheated. I assume the electric bike is similar in shape and tires to a normal gas-powered bike such that it uses the same energy. Also, I completely guessed on the efficiency of a normal motorcycle.
How much average power from the solar cells
Just want to say something about solar cells. I have seen them called "solar batteries". I see how this term came about - the origin comes "to strike". This went on to apply to artillery and then to electrical batteries (but not sure how). So, in that sense, it could be just as much a battery as a chemical battery. However, the current usage of battery implies "storing stuff". A solar cell clearly doesn't "store" stuff (energy). Ok, enough of the rant.
There are two important issues with the solar charging. How much energy per second gets to the solar cell? And how much of that energy is converted into useful electric energy? The efficiency of solar cells is one thing that has improved in recent years, but still the best you could expect would be around 30%. Here is a chart from wikipedia showing the efficiency of different solar cell types.
How much energy will hit these cells? The average solar energy hitting the Earth is around 1000 Watts per square meter. The problem with this bike is that some of the solar cells are on the side. The angle that the light hits the cells greatly effects how much energy the cell gets. Take a look at this diagram:
Here, a smaller area perpendicular to the light from the sun would get just as much energy as the panel on the side of the bike. If the angle the between a normal (perpendicular) line to the surface and the light is ?, then the effective area would be:
Now I have two things to estimate: the area of the solar panels on the bike and the average angle that the light hits. From the picture above I am going to estimate that the top is 0.3 m x 0.3 meters and the side is 0.5 m x 1.0 m. There looks like there might be a part on the back also, maybe this is another 0.3 m x 0.3 m. Note that I did not count the area on the other side (although surely there are panels there). This is because sun can not hit both sides of the bike at the same time. This gives a total (hitable) area of:
The angle the sunlight hits depends on the time of day, the location, the season, the orientation of the bike. I am just going to off-the-wall estimate this at 40 degrees. Maybe you don't agree with that, that is ok. I am going to put the calculation in a zoho spreadsheet so you can change whatever values you want.
So, the power from the solar panels would be:
And finally, how long would the bike take to recharge? Power is energy use over time. I know the power and I know how much energy I need to recharge. This would give a recharge time of 57 hours. Here is the spreadsheet with the numbers so you can change them.
Ok, clearly the bike is real. I re-watched the video and I think I completely underestimated the size of the solar panels. If I put the effective area at 2 m2, this gives a charging time of 19.5 hours. Seems more reasonable. Maybe he even has more efficient solar panels. Either way, it's like a free ride.

ESPN espn.go.com Login & Register Page XSS and Dest Redirect Privilege Escalation Web Security Vulnerabilities
"ESPN (originally an acronym for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) is a U.S.-based global cable and satellite television channel that is owned by ESPN Inc., a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company (which operates the network, through its 80% controlling ownership interest) and Hearst Corporation (which holds the remaining 20% interest). The channel focuses on sports-related programming including live and recorded event telecasts, sports news and talk shows, and other original programming.
ESPN broadcasts primarily from studio facilities located in Bristol, Connecticut. The network also operates offices in Miami, New York City, Seattle, Charlotte, and Los Angeles. John Skipper currently serves as president of ESPN, a position he has held since January 1, 2012. While ESPN is one of the most successful sports networks, it has been subject to criticism, which includes accusations of biased coverage, conflict of interest, and controversies with individual broadcasters and analysts. ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. As of February 2015, ESPN is available to approximately 94,396,000 paid television households (81.1% of households with at least one television set) in the United States. In addition to the flagship channel and its seven related channels in the United States, ESPN broadcasts in more than 200 countries, operating regional channels in Australia, Brazil, Latin America and the United Kingdom, and owning a 20% interest in The Sports Network (TSN) as well as its five sister networks and NHL Network in Canada."(Wikipedia)
Vulnerability description:
Espn.go.com has a cyber security bug problem. It is vulnerable to XSS (Cross Site Scripting) and Dest Redirect Privilege Escalation (Open Redirect) attacks.
Those vulnerabilities are very dangerous. Since they happen at ESPN's "login" & "register" pages that are credible. Attackers can abuse those links to mislead ESPN's users. The success rate of attacks may be high.
During the tests, besides the links given above, large number of ESPN's links are vulnerable to those attacks.
The programming code flaw occurs at "espn.go.com"'s "login?" & "register" pages with "redirect" parameter, i.e.

It also publishes suggestions, advisories, solutions details related to XSS and Open Redirect vulnerabilities and cyber intelligence recommendations.
(1) XSS Web Security Vulnerability
XSS may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server. Base on Acunetix, exploited XSS is commonly used to achieve the following malicious results
- Identity theft
- Accessing sensitive or restricted information
- Gaining free access to otherwise paid for content
- Spying on user's web browsing habits
- Altering browser functionality
- Public defamation of an individual or corporation
- Web application defacement

(2) Dest Redirect Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Web Security Vulnerability
From OWASP, an open redirect is an application that takes a parameter and redirects a user to the parameter value without any validation. This vulnerability is used in phishing attacks to get users to visit malicious sites without realizing it. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL, that if clicked, would redirect a victim from the intended legitimate web site to an arbitrary web site of the attacker's choosing. Such attacks are useful as the crafted URL initially appear to be a web page of a trusted site. This could be leveraged to direct an unsuspecting user to a web page containing attacks that target client side software such as a web browser or document rendering programs.
Use one of webpages for the following tests. The webpage address is "https://computerpitch.wordpress.com/". Suppose that this webpage is malicious.
The vulnerabilities can be attacked without user login. Tests were performed on Microsoft IE (10.0.9200.16750) of Windows 8, Mozilla Firefox (34.0) & Google Chromium 39.0.2171.65-0 ubuntu0.14.04.1.1064 (64-bit) of Ubuntu (14.04),Apple Safari 6.1.6 of Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

San Francisco officials are weighing changes to the city's building code that would allow construction of among the tiniest apartments in the country.
The Los Angeles Time reports that the city's supervisors are set to vote on Tuesday on a proposal that would permit apartments as small as 220 square feet, including a kitchen, bathroom and closet.
Current regulations require the living room alone to be that size.
Proponents say the smaller apartments would provide a cheaper option for the city's many single residents for whom rent has become unaffordable.
But critics counter that the units wouldn't help families and could boost population density, straining public transit and other city services.

How to build an Alzheimer drug molecule
Dr. Donald Weaver, Director at the Toronto Western Research Institute (Photo: UHN Research Communications)
Wanted: Small molecule that mixes well with water and fat. Must be exactly the right size and shape to lock onto beta-amyloid molecules in the brain and stop them from forming toxic clumps.
This molecule is a bit of a holy grail in the world of Alzheimer's drug research because it has great potential for stopping beta-amyloid from building up and killing brain cells.
The problem is, that even if this molecule already exists, researchers have not found it. If it can be synthesized, they need to figure out how. But Donald Weaver, director at Toronto Western Research Institute, is optimistic that there will be a breakthrough.
"Our lab is just one of many, many labs around the world trying to come up with drugs for Alzheimer's disease. Sooner or later, one of these labs is going to get it right," he says.
With help from the Alzheimer Society Research Program, Dr. Weaver runs a lab that specializes in computer-aided design and development of molecule-based Alzheimer drugs. He and his team use computers to map the three-dimensional shape and size of beta-amyloid's receptors. Receptors are structures on the surface of a molecule that bind with other molecules.
Knowing the receptor's size and shape allows him to search for, or synthesize, molecules that bind to it, which would make it impossible for beta-amyloid to clump together into its toxic form.
But these drug molecules must first find their way past the body's protective blood-brain barrier. Hence the need for them to mix with both water and fat. The barrier is formidable in part because our blood is water-based, while our brain is fat-based. Most molecules are soluble in one or the other.
"You need to incorporate this careful balance," says Dr. Weaver. "The molecule has to have some solubility in blood and some in the brain. Then it can cross the barrier through passive diffusion."
His lab is currently testing three promising molecules while continuing work on several others.
"We're all looking for the next generation of compounds for Alzheimer's disease and I hope it comes out of our lab, but it will come," says Dr. Weaver.

A new Stacey's favorite places revealed
One of KCCI anchor Stacey Horst's favorite places is on Des Moines's southside.
Graziano Brothers grocery has operated out of the same building at 1601 South Union Street in Des Moines for more than a hundred years. It was started in 1912 by Frank and Louie Graziano, who emigrated from Italy.
Frank's granddaughter, Frances, runs the business and took Stacey for a tour.
"The first thing that you do -- you stop, take a moment and breathe in and enjoy the seasoning," said Frances Graziano.
That's the first step to enjoying the only Italian specialty food store in the state.
The mix of Italian spices is so popular, Graziano's is frequently shipping pounds of it all across the country. But there's more you need to check out at the business.
"We do have some seasoned olives," said Frances Graziano. "You have to have the salami and the cheeses and the crackers. And if you come at the right time of the year, I make a delicious pesto that people die for."
That time of year, by the way, is from May to October.
"Don't forget the pastas, you have to have the pastas," said Frances Graziano.
"I always serve Graziano's olives and cheeses to my guests, and they are very popular with customers. But Graziano's signature product is their sausage," said Stacey Horst.
"The sausage is our pride and joy," said Frances Graziano. "My grandfather and great uncle wanted to create a sausage they remembered from their childhood in Italy."
And a hundred years later, a number of local restaurants feature Graziano's sausage and other products.
"We use a lot of their products: their noodles, their sausage, seasons, herbs, the ricotta cheese. I could go on and on and on," said Mario Tumea of Tumea & Sons.
But there's something else you just have to experience at the longest standing establishment on Des Moines's south side.
"You have to come and just listen to the chatter that takes place here. That alone is entertaining," said Frances Graziano.

The Seattle Times' investigation of the state of Washington's practice of steering people to methadone to reduce its Medicaid costs won a Public Service award from the Associated Press Media Editors association.
In a three-part series, the newspaper's "Methadone and the Politics of Pain" exposed how more than 2,000 people in the state between 2003 and 2011 fatally overdosed on methadone, a cheap and unpredictable painkiller that was routinely prescribed for people in state-subsidized health care. After the series was published in December, state Medicaid officials sent out an emergency advisory warning of the risk of methadone. The state also told doctors to prescribe methadone only as a last resort.
The judges in the 2012 APME Journalism Excellence Awards described the series, winner in the large newspaper category, as a "tremendous, groundbreaking work."
"It opened eyes and prompted swift action," they said. "This is public service journalism at its best."
In the 40,000- to 150,000-circulation category, the Harrisburg, Pa., Patriot-News was honored for its coverage of the Penn State sex-abuse scandal involving former football coach Jerry Sandusky. "The Patriot-News was far out front in reporting one of the most explosive stories of 2011, and they did it at great peril to the newspaper's reputation in the state,'' the judges said.
The Virgin Islands Daily News won the small-circulation category for "License to Steal," a two-month investigation that exposed a con man who set up a credit union to steal from unsuspecting customers – and the lax oversight of such institutions by the Virgin Islands government.
The judges said the work "represents public service journalism of the highest order. The paper stepped in to protect the islands' most marginalized, vulnerable residents when their government failed them."
APME is an association of editors at newspapers, broadcast outlets and journalism educators and student leaders in the United States and Canada. APME works closely with The Associated Press to foster journalism excellence.
The awards will be presented at the group's annual conference Sept. 19-21 in Nashville, Tenn.
Judges for the Public Service awards were: Alan Miller, managing editor, The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch and APME Journalism Studies chair; APME President Bob Heisse, executive editor, The State Journal-Register, Springfield, Ill.; APME Foundation President Hollis R. Towns, executive editor, Asbury Park Press, Neptune, N.J.; AP Managing Editor Kristin Gazlay; and former APME presidents Bobbie Jo Buel, editor, Arizona Daily Star, Tucson; David Ledford, executive editor, The News Journal, Wilmington, Del.; and Otis Sanford, Helen and Jabie Hardin Chair of Excellence in Economics/Managerial Journalism at the University of Memphis.
Judges did not participate in discussions or vote on their own newspapers' entries.
The APME board added two contests this year, one recognizing innovation in radio and television and the other for innovations by college students.
Three finalists were selected for APME's sixth annual Innovator of the Year Award: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for its "Empty Cradles" series about the death of children before their first birthday; the Arizona Republic, Phoenix, for the convergence of print, broadcast and online in its website, AZCentral; and The Oklahoman, Oklahoma City, for innovations throughout its website.
The judges said the Journal Sentinel project "tackles a social issue and not only tells the story but, as an information source, is part of the solution. The project gets readers involved." They described AZCentral as "comprehensive convergence in a successful model,'' and said The Oklahoman "takes new and developing technologies and weaves them throughout news coverage on the Web."
Judges were: Joe Hight, director of information and development, The Oklahoman; APME Vice President Brad Dennnison, vice president/News & Interactive Division, GateHouse Media; and J.B. Bittner, CNHI deputy national editor, Stillwater (Okla.) News Press.
The papers will present their groundbreaking work at the APME conference, and attendees will select the winner, who will receive $1,000 from GateHouse Media.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and the Sarasota (Fla.) Herald-Tribune were the winners of the Gannett Foundation Award for Digital Innovation in Watchdog Journalism, administered by APME.
The Journal Sentinel was honored for "Both Sides of the Law," an investigation into the system that allows Milwaukee police officers to stay on the job despite violating laws and ordinances they were sworn to uphold.
The Herald-Tribune won for its "Unfit for Duty" reports on Florida's law enforcement officers, their personal and professional conduct, and the system that was not up to the task of monitoring them.
The award recognized papers that creatively used digital tools in the role of being a community's watchdog. Each winning paper will receive $2,500 from the Gannett Foundation and will be recognized at the APME conference.
Judges were: Heisse; Carol Hanner, managing editor, Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal; and Gary Graham, editor, The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash.
Cox Media Group in Ohio was honored in the new category of Innovator of the Year for Radio and Television for its convergence of print, online and broadcast operations in Dayton. It launched an all-platform breaking news team to take best advantage of newsroom resources and provide breaking news to listeners, readers, viewers and users. The judges said the entry reflected "forward-thinking to meet the increasing demands of instant coverage."
Judges were: Elbert Tucker, director of news, WBNS-10TV, Columbus, Ohio; Jack Lail, multimedia editor, Knoxville News Sentinel, Knoxville, Tenn.; and Kevin Roach, AP director, U.S. Broadcast News.
The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism and its collaboration with the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Madison won the Innovator of the Year for College Students, the second new category announced this year. "This is a smart and innovative way for a journalism school to lead investigative reporting," the judges said.
Judges were: Chris Cobler, editor, Victoria (Texas) Advocate; Jim Simon, assistant managing editor, The Seattle Times; and Hanner.
The association also chose the winners for the following awards (in order of circulation category _ over 150,000, 40,000-150,000 and under 40,000):
• The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for its investigation, "Both Sides of the Law," of the Milwaukee Police Department. The judges said it uncovered a level of abuse, corruption and out-right criminal activity in the Police Department that was breathtaking in its scope.
• The Knoxville News Sentinel for reporting on an out-of-control judge in the Baumgartner case, which prompted immediate and sweeping government reform.
• The Burlington (Vt.) Free Press for its investigation of the sloppy handling of warrants by the Vermont judiciary, which revealed negligence at every level of the legal system.
Judges: Teri Hayt, chair of APME's First Amendment Committee and managing editor, Arizona Daily Star; Martin Reynolds, senior editor-community engagement, Bay Area News Group, Oakland, Calif.; Alan English, vice president of audience, Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle; and Karen Kaiser, AP associate general counsel.
• Over 150,000: The Wall Street Journal for "China's Succession Scandal," which the judges said offered a rare glimpse of the secretive inner workings of the Chinese Communist Party elite. The series of stories led to the ouster of an up-and-coming party leader and cracked open the door for the Chinese as well as the rest of the world.
• Under 149,000: The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn., for "A Healing Trip," about Memphis-area soldiers who stormed France's Utah Beach on D-day on a return visit. The judges said it was a well-woven story that found new life in an otherwise traditional angle.
Judges: Aminda Marques Gonzalez, executive editor, The Miami Herald; Bill Church, executive editor, Salem (Ore.) Statesman-Journal; and John Daniszewski, AP senior managing editor/international news.
• USA Today for its 14-month investigation, "Ghost Factories: Poison in the Ground," which revealed the locations of more than 230 long-forgotten factories and the amount of toxic lead left behind.
• The Roanoke (Va.) Times for "Picking Up the Pieces," a look at how the town of Martinsville is recovering after manufacturing jobs went to China.
• The Burlington (Vt.) Free Press for breaking news coverage during the Occupy Burlington encampment.
Judges: Laura Sellers-Earl, digital development director, East Oregonian Publishing Co., Astoria, Ore.; Carole Tarrant, editor, The Roanoke Times; Tucker; and Jan Touney, executive editor, Quad-City Times, Davenport, Iowa.
The judges listed honorable mentions in other categories:
Over 150,000:
• The New York Times for its investigation of abuse of disabled people in state care.
• The Atlanta Journal Constitution for its investigation into schools that were cheating on standardized tests.
40,000 to 150,000:
• Sarasota Herald-Tribune for "Unfit for Duty" about Florida's rogue law enforcement officers.

Under 40,000:
• Lawrence (Kan.) Journal-World for "Unraveling a Rape Case" about using DNA evidence to find a rape suspect.
• Sioux Falls (S.D.) Argus Leader for "Fighting DUI" about the cost of cracking down on DUIs.
• The Center for Innovation in Media at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tenn., for reforming and reshaping its student media. The converged newsroom is a model for journalism schools and professional news organizations, the judges said.
• The University of Oklahoma for its commitment for transparency, which offers its users a simple, elegant presentation of corrections and open-records requests.
• The Chicago Tribune for "Fugitives from Justice,'" which exposed systemic communication failures between the state and the federal government in finding fugitives.
• The Wall Street Journal for its Sept. 11 anniversary coverage.
• The News-Press in Fort Myers, Fla., for its package, "Loving Ingrid,'' about a woman who suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX66: First Look Review
Ultra-compact, auto-only cameras are popular with today's users because these diminutive, easy to use, feature rich devices enhance their busy modern lifestyles. Sony's new TX66 digital camera could be the poster child for this electronic device loving demographic.
I used to shoot 35mm slides and I loved the vibrant, highly saturated colors and incredible detail captured by slow 35mm transparency films, but I hated waiting to get my slides back. One of the major reasons I've always liked Sony digicams is because their default color interpolation is very similar to the look of slow 35mm slide film – if I had to guess, I would opine that Sony's digital engineers had tried to duplicate the look of Fuji's classic Velvia slide film. The nifty little TX66 doesn't deviate from that winning corporate philosophy – its images look very much like the 35mm slides I loved, but without all the exposure headaches that shooting those slides entailed.
Camera manufacturers are running scared these days because lots of consumers seem to be ditching their point-and-shoots for smartphones, which goes a long way toward explaining why many digital cameras now feature touch screens, Wi-Fi connectivity and built-in GPS receivers. The TX66 is a dead ringer for last year's TX55 (which it replaces) and the only significant difference between the two is the TX66's boost in resolution from 16 megapixels to 18 megapixels. If you can find a discounted TX55 (currently selling for as low as $249) you can save $100 and not have to give up anything.
Until fairly recently ultra-compacts featured 2x or 3x zooms, and one of the most exciting developments in the ongoing digital imaging revolution is ultra-compact digicams with longer zooms. The TX66's periscope style 5x zoom makes it possible to carry a camera with a 26-130mm (true wide-angle to short telephoto) lens in your shirt pocket. The TX66 is easily pocketable measuring 3.8 x 2.3 x 0.5 inches (about the size of a credit card). It's a featherweight (with battery and MicroSD card) at 3.8 ounces. This 18 megapixel ultra-compact offers an absolutely amazing 3.3-inch touch-screen OLED LCD with 1229k-dot resolution. The TX66 also sports a tough metal alloy body, 1080i HD 60fps video mode, face/smile detection AF and an HDMI output.
I've only been using the TX66 for a few days, but I've long been a big fan of famous natural light photographers like W. Eugene Smith, Bruce Davidson, and Robert Frank and the TX66 produces consistently excellent natural light images. For shooters who love to natural light portraits and existing light subjects, the TX66 is going to be a fine choice. That is not to say that I haven't noticed any faults, but I'll cover those in more detail in the full review after I've spent a bit more time with the camera. Watch here for our full review (coming soon) of this exciting new camera.

Open source licensing, community and contribution are important topics. This week there were a number of interesting blog posts and tweets on the subject which might be summarized by a tweet from Matt Asay (#mjasay)
@maslett moral of story? platforms flourish on permissive licensing. GPL is a capitalist's best friend. Apache/EPL are a community's
Related blogs (along with several others):
- A good post from Matthew Aslett of 451 Group
- http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/01/why-we-chose-the-gpl-for-nexus/
- Permissive or Reciprocal? Choosing the Right License by Joe Brockmeier
I agree, license and copyright are factors in creating and fostering communities but I don't think it's the most important set of factors. License and community, while related are very much separate issues. Open source tends to fetish license and thus it's over-emphasized in conversations where it at best a contributing factor.
Apple, Google, Drupal, Linux, Microsoft and many, many other examples demonstrate just how little restrictive license and copyright of the core software matters to the size and contribution of the community. Permissive licenses can increase adoption as well as forks and closed derivative works, all of which cannot so simply be considered community.
Relevancy, utility, inclusion, opportunity, transparency, recognition and common vision / interests are what drive the size and output of community. It's leadership in a project that sets the tone for the priority of these aspects. A small or under-performing community (proportionate to its potential) is more likely related to its leadership than its license.
An incomplete identification and factoring of some areas around open source that support the ideas in this post:

South-South cooperation, as an important element of international cooperation for development, offers viable opportunities for developing countries and countries with economies in transition in their individual and collective pursuit of sustained economic growth and sustainable development.
Developing countries have the primary responsibility for promoting and implementing South-South cooperation, not as a substitute for but rather as a complement to North-South cooperation, and in this context reiterating the need for the international community to support the efforts of the developing countries to expand South-South cooperation.

The literary magazines/journals listed below are recently established or considered to be "fledgling" on Duotrope. All offer some form of payment and are currently open to submissions. Fledging journals are a great way to cut your teeth if you've never been published, often have faster response times, and may be more personable to work with. Their readership is often lower than more established magazines, but if you like the overall style of the magazine, why not support it and start what may continue to be an ongoing partnership? Several lit mags promote and share work of their previous authors, feature writers they particularly like, and nominate for awards such as Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. Take a look at the list I've provided below, read the submission guidelines carefully, and select pieces to send that you think best fit their aesthetic.

text: After the Japanese decimated our fleet in Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941, they could have sent their troop ships and carriers directly to California ...to finish what they started. The prediction from our Chief of Staff was we would not be able to stop a massive invasion until they reached the Mississippi River. ... So, why did they not invade? After the war, the remaining Japanese generals and admirals were asked that question. Their answer…... They knew that almost every home had guns and the Americans knew how to use them. The world's largest army.... America 's hunters! I had never thought about this. A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion: There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin . Allow me to restate that number. Over the last several months, Wisconsin 's hunters became the eighth largest army in the world. More men under arms than in Iran . More than in France and Germany combined. These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed. That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia , and it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. The point? America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower. Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security. That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed. Food for thought when next we consider gun control by repealing the Second Amendment to our Constitution or otherwise minimizing it. To quote the Swiss "We all fire one shot and go home" Invasion ended. (the Swiss are required to own guns)

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) -- Police Sunday saw little disruption prior to a Republican National Convention greatly scaled back due to Hurricane Gustav.
Protesters march before the Republican National Convention Sunday. The protest was peaceful, police say.
"Things are going as expected. Things are going well," Commander Doug Holtz of the St. Paul Police Department said.
The Republican convention, which begins Monday, has been designated a "national special security event," which means the Secret Service is responsible for planning and implementing a security scheme.
But the primary responsibility for street-level security falls to the local police agencies. St. Paul received $50 million in federal grant money to pay for additional security measures. View the security plan »
The St. Paul Police Department estimated it would require $34 million to bring in and pay 3,500 extra officers. The rest of the money is for training and new equipment, the department said.
Holtz, who was at the Joint Information Center set up by the Secret Service to help coordinate the activities of the various law enforcement agencies involved in securing the event, said things were relatively quiet.
Nine individuals were arrested for trying to enter a restricted area and later charged with misdemeanor trespassing, Holtz said, and eight of the nine had already been released by Sunday evening.
St. Paul has been preparing for the Republicans' arrival for over a year, but there are still questions about whether the cities are prepared to handle the protesters who are expected to flood into the city.
St. Paul officials have planned for about 25,000 protesters, but the protest groups themselves are hoping for double that number.
Protest groups estimated similar numbers for the Democratic convention last week in Denver, Colorado, but the tens of thousands of protesters never materialized.
Holtz said one demonstration occurred Sunday without incident.
"That was peaceful, and we anticipate the other protests this week to be peaceful," he said.
On Saturday law enforcement officers say they uncovered evidence of an anarchist conspiracy to riot and disrupt the convention during a series of pre-convention raids.
In the raids, sheriff's deputies for Ramsey County -- which contains the convention host city of St. Paul --arrested a number of what they described as anarchists. They also found bricks and human waste they say was meant to be thrown at police, slingshots to launch projectiles, tacks meant to puncture tires and Molotov cocktails.
Officials say the group's plan was to sabotage buses and block bus routes.
"One group, the RNC Welcoming Committee, is our target," Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said. "It's an anarchist group planning to commit criminal acts and harm our officers."
But lawyers and family members for those arrested say the sheriff is overstating his case.
Dave Bickings says the charges of conspiracy against his daughter, Monica, just doesn't fit.
"There is nothing here that would be a conspiracy to commit a riot. She has been very involved in organizing protests about the RNC convention," Bickings said. "She is one of the main organizers, but that is very different from conspiracy to commit riot."
Geneva Finn, a lawyer for the protesters, also said the they were not planning to do anything illegal or violent.
"Since there is no way of knowing what's true in advance of the convention, the authorities see a danger in underestimating the potential for disruption," he said.
On Sunday, Holtz of the St. Paul Police Department said he was unaware of any specific threat from anarchist.
CNN's Scott J. Anderson, Joe Johns and Steve Turnham contributed to this report.

Is your mouth watering yet? This is just one of the many sandwiches that are sold at Anthony & Son Panini Shoppe.
Anthony and Son Panini Shoppe is located in East Williamsburg, where there is a variety of trendy and hip eateries; a prime location for these sandwiches.
@paninishoppe currently has 75,000 followers on Instagram. They post a variety of their mouth-watering sandwiches and people go crazy for it. I mean come on, who wouldn't?
Over the years, the shop has gained many devoted customers through family and friends and local neighbors.
Every day you get to see familiar faces, longtime friends that have been going to the shop for years that speak so highly about not only the food but the friendly environment.
One customer has been going to the shop since he was seven years old, and basically grew up buying things from the deli with his parents.
When he was older, he began working at the shop and soon became the manager. Years later, even after leaving the shop to focus on his career, he still comes back every day for coffee.
Along with the familiar faces, every day you also meet new people who have seen a picture on Instagram and travelled to get their hands on one of the sandwiches.
"I had seen such amazing food pics on this place on Instagram and today I finally tried it out and I was not disappointed! I tried the Matt and Steve 2.0 it had such wonderful flavor the bacon was nice and thick and delicious, and the chicken cutlet was delicious as well as the mozzarella sticks American cheese and vodka sauce on it!" said Joey L. on a yelp review that he posted about the shop.
Many people have travelled from near and far just to get their hands on the many different and amazing sandwiches. People have come from Washington D.C., Connecticut, and even California to try a sandwich from Anthony & Son Panini Shoppe and have left a full stomach and an enjoyable experience.
Famous rappers and singers such as Dave East, Joey Badass, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Kehlani are among the list of people who have indulged in one of their amazing sandwiches.
Originally named Anthony Fruit & Deli in 1994, where the store was more generalized in the products they sold.
Thirteen years later, they decided it was best to focus on creating unique and creative sandwiches that people would love.
Currently, the shop offers a wide variety of twenty five signature panini's and thirty signature heroes and it's safe to say that they offer something for everyone.
The sandwiches range from cold cut panini's to hot sandwiches and everything in between. Let's not forget to mention their lettuce wraps and salads for those of us who want to cut down on the carbs.
Their secret ingredient is to provide customers with the freshest ingredients possible, starting with their homemade fresh mozzarella, that the owner Antonio Curcio, makes every morning. One bite of that fresh mozzarella and you are able to taste the same mozzarella that is in Italy.
Anthony & Son has been in the heart of Williamsburg for twenty-four years and still to this day remains as a location that brings people together all for the love of great quality food.
As the years have passed, the shop has become one of Brooklyn's Favorite Sandwich Spots and is continuing to grow each and every day.

SARACINO, Pablo Enrique. Algunas observaciones acerca del problema de la unidad en la Crónica de Tres Reyes. Cuad. hist. Esp. [online]. 2009, vol.83, pp.9-24. ISSN 0325-1195.
The Crónica de tres reyes -a mid-fourteenth century text, traditionally attributed to Fernán Sanchez of Valladolid- is, in its very same prologue, conceived as a unit. Although the different editions released of this text -total or partially- do not consider the problem of the unit of the work, it is possible to find in the hand-written tradition some details that allow to think about a discontinuity between the compositional processes of the Crónica de Alfonso X and those of his son's and his grandson's chronicles, that draw apart in certain characteristics from the kind of rules that determine the Castilian medieval historiography from the times of Alfonso X. In these displacements, as well as in the attempts of some scribes to equal the style of the chronicles of Sancho and Fernando to the one that governs the Crónica de Alfonso X, it is possible to make out the disruptions between the parameters of the historiographic genre and its specific communicative function within diverse scopes of enunciation.
Keywords : Crónica de tres reyes; Hand-written tradition; Unity; Discursive tradition.

I loved the posters for sale on Etsy by MoulageCollection but at $52 they were way out of my price range. Instead I spent $1 on a piece of bristol board, used the expensive chalk version as inspiration and made my own with markers.
I started in the centre with "Nathan is ONE!" and then wrote around the outside about his favourites, his activities and his measurements. Basically I aimed to capture the essence of Nathan at 12 months old ;)
The last step was to dress it up by adding some doodling and then some Sesame Street chipboard characters to tie the poster to the theme. I hung it up in the living room and it was neat to see people stop and read it throughout the party. I hope I can remember that I want to make one of these every year!

A dozen church painters from European countries seek to revamp ancient practice
With brighter hues and bolder brushstrokes, Orthodox icon painters are looking to breathe new life into the ancient art of depicting saints, angels and biblical scenes, lest its rigid rules see it consigned to history.
A dozen church painters from European countries like Greece and Serbia but also from the United States gathered this month in Romania to experiment with adding modern touches to Byzantine iconography without angering the conservative Orthodox Church. "I don't want to attack them," US painting professor Anthony Salzman said of churchgoers, "but I don't want to bore them either". "Tradition died in the 16th or 17th century, now we are resurrecting it, we are learning what its limits are," he added at the event in Mogosoaia, on the outskirts of Bucharest.
Icons, which are displayed in churches, monasteries and homes, play a key role in the Orthodox faith, whose faithful kiss them and expect miracles and cures. The practice is subject to strict canons, with church rules dictating what the painters can and cannot do. Some of today's painters think that sticking to the rules will bury rather than perpetuate icon-making, which is why they are playing around with new styles. Some are making the figures more abstract, the faces less sombre or the colours more vivid. "Innovation keeps tradition alive, otherwise just copying the past is not functioning," said Georgios Kordis, the head of the Eikona group that organised the event. "There are many things that you can introduce - the quality of lines, the colour, the composition," he said. Sitting in front of his easel, in the impressive 18th-century Mogosoaia Palace, the Greek professor of Orthodox theology carefully paints halos around the heads of three saints that are coming alive on the wooden board. Behind him, several young nuns are carefully taking notes, hoping to transpose what they see to their own works. "I started painting icons some months ago but I want to get better," Mother Mihaela said. Like her, many Romanian nuns but also fine arts students feel increasingly drawn to painting icons either to express their faith or to earn some money in a country where nearly 90 percent of inhabitants declare themselves as Orthodox. But several painters present said their works were sometimes met with hostility by church dignitaries or believers who thought them to be "too bold." "Painting is dynamic, you have to be bold," insisted Grigore Popescu, a Romanian icon painter and restorer whose works adorn dozens of churches and monasteries in Romania but also in France and Germany.
Young or old, the artists said they were seeking the middle road that allows icons to keep pace with the changing world all while satisfying the Church's demands. -- Icons need to stir emotion -- "We cannot run too far ahead of the Church but we cannot leave it where it is either," said Salzman, the US painting professor, who embraced Orthodoxy and was ordained priest a few years ago. "People think differently, so we have to speak to them differently or they would not understand." Todor Mitrovic, a professor at the Fine Arts Academy in Belgrade, said he was "obsessed with finding the balance between tradition and innovation". "The Church is afraid to lose it (tradition) but it cannot put it in chains. To keep it alive, you have to let artists explore," he said.
One of his students, Slavica Mihailova from Macedonia, said that bringing in modern elements such as different colours does not necessarily mean straying from tradition. "Continuing to make copies is as if you had nothing to say. You have to put something of yourself in an icon." "Icons are the visual proof of our faith, they make believers feel that Christ and the saints are present," Kordis said. "If icons don't stir any emotion, Christians will have no dialogue with them."
