In the Premium version of my Write for Magazines e-course, I critique three article ideas from each student.
I'll take an idea that's almost-but-not-quite there (which is almost every idea) and show the student how to play with it, how to experiment with different angles until it's just right to pitch.
And you know the response I often get?
"Since you didn't like that idea, here's another one."
No, no, no!
Article ideas rarely pop out of a writer's head fully-formed and ready to pitch. Even someone with 17 years? experience (ahem) comes out with what I call SEEDS of ideas. A seed is the most basic form of an idea before you nurture it into a fully grown, salable article idea.
When you brainstorm, generate as many ideas as you can without judging them. Then, go through them one by one and start playing with the topics, angles, and markets to turn seeds into fully realized ideas. Like so:
If your idea isn't newsy enough:
Here are three tactics you can try:
- See if you can find a recently-released book on the topic, or one that will be coming out around the same time you're aiming your article for. (Search on Amazon.com and sort results by Date Published instead of Relevance.)
- Search for stats showing that what you're pitching is a trend, or is becoming a trend.
- Figure out if there's some way you can attach your idea to something that IS going on in the news. Maybe a celebrity just announced that she has some rare disease you wanted to write about, or you want to write on a marketing topic and a big business made the news with a major marketing fail.
If your idea is too narrow:
Consider finding three or more similar things and pitching them as a roundup. For example, instead of pitching an article on an historic attraction in your area, find four cool historic attractions and offer a roundup to a regional magazine.
Or, bring in other, similar but distinct topics. Instead of writing a pet health article only for ferret owners, expand it to include cats and dogs and pitch it to a general pets magazine or one of the women's or health magazines that have pet departments.
If your idea is too broad:
Take one thin slice of the idea and blow it up to feature-size. For example, every health writer is pitching about the GMO issue, and frankly, this idea is big enough to fill a book. Is there some small aspect of the topic that hasn't gotten much press, that readers may not already know about?
If your idea isn't relevant to enough of your target market's audience:
Is there a magazine or online publication that caters to an audience to whom your idea WOULD be relevant? For example, if a certain autoimmune disease affects only 2% of women, it won't be of interest to a women's magazine. But it WOULD be of interest to a magazine that targets people with autoimmune disorders. (And you'd be surprised at the publications you can find out there.)
If your idea is too vague:
Ask yourself, "What ABOUT topic X?" For instance, you want to write about job hunting for seniors. That's pretty nebulous. What ABOUT job hunting for seniors? How to make your resume relevant for modern jobs, the top 10 best work-at-home jobs for seniors, how to volunteer your way into a paid job?
If your idea is just plain boring:
Consider: What's the opposite of your idea? Editors love surprising, counterintuitive ideas that surprise readers and make them think.
Years ago I noticed that peanuts were getting a bad rap due to allergies (they had been recently kicked off of airplanes), so I pitched and sold an article called "In Defense of the Peanut" to Oxygen, about the health benefits of the beleaguered nut.
If your idea is about how to save money on groceries (been there, done that), you turn that into an idea on when it makes sense to spend more on food. (I did this for Fitness magazine, in an article called "Splurge or Save.")
If your idea is on how to market your small business (snooooze), turn that into an article on how to attract customers without marketing.
So from now on, when your brainstorming session produces ideas you fear are stale, overdone, too narrow, or too big, don't give up in despair. Remember, these are seeds of ideas, and you can nurture them until they grow into perfect pitches.
How about you: Did you recently come up with an idea you thought stunk? Can you apply some of the tips above to make it, well, not stink? Let's play with your article ideas right here in the comments!

Featured Golf News
Kentuckys Yatesville Lake State Park Course Opens
The long-awaited and highly anticipated Eagle Ridge Golf Course at Yatesville Lake State Park near Louisa, Ky., opened for play on September 19th. The Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates design is the latest Kentucky State Parks Golf Trail debut and is certainly the course with the most spectacular views.
The mountainous site in the eastern part of the state features a number of holes overlooking Yatesville Lake and surrounding woodlands. The combination of a solid, strategic golf course and inspiring scenery will prove attractive to golfers. The daily-fee facility lies 10 miles off US Route 23 in Lawrence County. Its an easy 45-minute drive on mostly four-lane highways from both Ashland, Ky., and Huntington, W.V.
Steve Forrest, principal from Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates said of the Yatesville project, "The site was one of the most challenging pieces of property on which we have ever worked because of the severity of the topography. We were scratching our heads trying to come up with a playable 18-hole routing in the early planning stages. The only suitable land was generally on the ridgetops and sooner or later we ran into dead-ends up there.
There were two key holes, No. 4 and No. 13, continued Forrest, that ultimately proved to be the vital links in making the entire layout work. Although the site was difficult, the rewards came in the form of very dramatic and unique golf holes that will provide a scenic and challenging golf experience for visitors and residents of the region alike."
A ribbon cutting-opening day event will be held September 24th. Kentuckys governor along with other state and local dignitaries, representatives from the various project consultants and local media will get to experience first-hand the new design.
Shawn Smith, project manager with Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates, says of the course, Some of the holes at Eagle Ridge provide spectacular views, but holes like Nos. 4 and 13 are simply stunning. Hole 4 is a par-5 with an elevation drop of nearly 170 feet from the landing area to the green, and No. 13 is a drivable par-4 that drops 200 feet from tee to green. They alone are worth the price of admission."
The par-71 course features five sets of tees ranging from 4,655 to 6,630 yards. More information about the new Eagle Ridge Golf Course at Yatesville Lake State Park can be found at www.kystateparks.com or by calling the pro shop at 606/673-1492.

Keegan Bussell, of Troop 275 in Kentwood, was awarded the highest rank in Scouting on Aug. 21 after completing his Eagle project in May. Just weeks after the new stage was installed, it was used for a harp recital. The Franciscan Sisters also plan to use it for preschool concerts, Keegan said.
The Franciscan Life Process Center is a facility that offers retreat programs, music therapy and education, visual arts workshops, and counseling services to children and adults in Kent County. The stage is designed to be portable, but the Sisters told him it would most often be used in their entertainment facility.
As part of gaining their Eagle rank, candidates are required to complete a project that will benefit their community. Keegan, 15, was responsible for planning the work needed to build the stage, then supervising the work of four adults and five Scouts who measured, assembled the framework, and put the hardware into the stage.
One of the hardest parts of the project, he said, was watching the work as a supervisor and not participating. But he learned a lot about leadership during the process, he said.
"The Scouting program encourages us to lead each other, to lead in the community,
and to assume responsibility in making sure our Eagle project succeeded," he said. "I realize now that to be a leader you don't have to know everything, but you need to be willing to ask others for help and advice, and then figure out the best advice to take."
The paperwork required for the project was also a lot of work, he said, but forced him to make sure he had everything he needed and prepared him for anything that might go wrong.
"It required deep thought and detail in my writings," he said.
Keegan is a sophomore at Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School, where he is on the soccer and track teams. He joined Pack 3340 at Saint John Vianney School in Wyoming as a Wolf, and later joined Troop 275 in Kentwood, earning 26 merit badges with the troop. He has held various leadership positions including patrol leader, troop guide, and senior patrol leader.
With help from family and friends, Keegan raised more than $400 toward his Eagle project. Some of the money was used for carpeting and a curtain to go around the stage when his portion was done. All funds left over went into a special account for other Scouts and their future Eagle projects.
Finishing the project was meaningful to him because it was the culmination of his Scouting experience, he said. "I've made a lot of friends and have been able to do a lot of cool things through Scouts that not many people can say they have done. I am proud to say I am an Eagle Scout."
Keegan is the son of Paul and Lisa Bussell. He said he hopes to pursue a career as a commissioned officer in the Navy or Marines and plans to major in criminal justice in college.

COLUMBIA - An adjustment Thursday in South Carolina's revenue projections means legislators have an additional $108 million to designate in their upcoming budget proposal.
The Board of Economic Advisors voted to recognize $28 million coming into state coffers from a lawsuit settlement, as well as $80 million in lottery profits above earlier estimates.
South Carolina was part of an eight-state settlement last year with British drug maker GlaxoSmithKline. Attorney General Alan Wilson sued in 2011, alleging improper marketing of the diabetes drug, Avandia.
Lawmakers expected higher lottery profit projections. The adjustment includes $50 million more expected in the current fiscal year and $30 million next year. That's in addition to the $252 million in profits, $1.5 million in interest and $8 million in unclaimed prizes the economic board had certified for the fiscal year beginning July 1, based on the lottery agency's recommendations.
Gov. Nikki Haley's office called that agency's forecast unreasonably low.
"It is impossible to credibly argue" that the agency's numbers result from an "determined effort to accurately forecast likely receipts," reads Haley's 2014-15 budget proposal, released last month, which suggests how to spend any impending increase.
Her suggestions included putting $8 million toward new school buses, bringing her total proposal for buses to $20 million. Superintendent Mick Zais has requested $34 million next year for new buses. That would buy roughly 415 buses, fulfilling a 2007 law - ignored during the economic downturn - which calls for replacing one-fifteenth of the fleet yearly.
Haley's other recommendations for any excess in lottery profits included $12.8 million for technology improvements at South Carolina's public colleges and $5 million for "dual-enrollment" classes - courses offered by local colleges that allow high school students to earn college credit. Beyond her specific designations, she suggested putting the rest of any excess in a fund to pay for construction of K-12 schools.

Celebrated chuck-wagon chef Kent Rollins shares tips for cooking on the range—and not the kind in your kitchen.
Kent Rollins says it takes only three things to master the art of Dutch-oven cooking: practice, practice and practice. "And I've been practicing for more than 25 years," he adds. Kent is Oklahoma's official chuck-wagon cook and has won numerous cook-off competitions. Back in 2010, he even out-cooked celebrity chef Bobby Flay in a chicken-fried steak throwdown, which you can enjoy in this video.
"You've also got to love what you do," he says, "and do it with honor and integrity."
With a restored 1876 Studebaker wagon, nearly two dozen cast-iron Dutch ovens and Bertha (a 385-pound, wood-fired cookstove), Kent and his wife, Shannon, proudly carry on a 150-year-old tradition. In fact, the couple recently spent four weeks cooking for a large crew on the remote and historic 290,100-acre Bell Ranch in New Mexico.
"It's a hard life—up every day at 2:50 a.m.," says Kent, who runs Red River Ranch Chuck Wagon Catering (kentrollins.com) in Byers, Texas. "But it's fun to show younger guys the old ways … and it's worth it just to hear them say, 'That's the best meal I ever ate in my life!' "
A typical day might feature sourdough cinnamon rolls, bacon and coffee for breakfast; a hearty casserole for lunch; and steak or chicken-fried steak, red beans, biscuits and peach cobbler for dinner.
"It's well known that if you feed them well, they work better," he notes. "They sure can put away a lot of groceries."
What's the hardest thing about Dutch-oven cooking? "There's no knob to turn the fire on and off," Kent quips. "You have to know when to slow things down, and keep rotating the ovens and lids. Through repetition and practice, I know when something is done. But if anyone tells you they've never burned something in a Dutch oven, they haven't been cooking long enough, I promise."

Smith & Wesson (NASDAQ: SWHC ) will release its quarterly report on Tuesday, and investors have been a bit on edge lately about the company's performance. After topping out earlier this year, Smith & Wesson stock has topped out, and the gunmaker is seen producing weaker growth than rival Sturm, Ruger (NYSE: RGR ) as well as stun-gun specialist TASER (NASDAQ: TASR ) . Should shareholders be worried about its coming quarterly announcement?
Smith & Wesson has benefited for years from fears that the current administration would seek to impose new gun-control limitation, spurring would-be gun-buyers to accelerate their purchases in order to avoid any future regulation. Yet with those regulations having largely not come to pass, some think that Smith & Wesson will now have to pay the price for customers having stocked up on products before they absolutely needed them. Let's take an early look at what's been happening with Smith & Wesson over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its report.
Stats on Smith & Wesson

Revenue Estimate
$137.52 million
Change From Year-Ago Revenue
Earnings Beats in Past 4 Quarters
Will Smith & Wesson earnings surprise investors this quarter?
In recent months, analysts have had mixed views on Smith & Wesson earnings, cutting their October-quarter estimates by a penny per share but boosting their full-year fiscal 2015 projections by $0.02 per share. The stock has risen about 6% since early September.
Smith & Wesson confirmed bearish investors' fears with its July quarter earnings report. Even though the gunmaker managed to boost its earnings by 48% on a 26% jump in revenue, Smith & Wesson said that it would likely producer lower sales and net income in the October quarter than investors had previously expected. Even with the company having taken steps to boost its gross profit margins, including cost-cutting and expense management, Smith & Wesson stock fell sharply on the news.
Yet the interesting thing from an investing angle about Smith & Wesson is that it looks like a classic value stock. Its earnings multiple is less than 10, producing a valuation that's about a third lower than Sturm, Ruger's and far lower than TASER's earnings multiple of about 50. That led Smith & Wesson to authorize a new share buyback program back in October, adding $15 million to go with a larger $100 million program that recently expired. It has also raised some speculation that Smith & Wesson might become a takeover target, either by Sturm, Ruger or by an unrelated buyers like a private-equity firm.
The big question that Smith & Wesson faces is whether any halt in earnings growth will prove to be temporary. If gun-owners have indeed bought more guns than they otherwise would have in anticipation of tighter regulation, then it could produce a short-term drop in demand. But in the long run, there are few signs that gun-buyers will back off from replacing or updating their arsenal with new products. Moreover, a new contract with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to provide firearms to law enforcement officials there shows the reputation the company has even among its peers.
In the Smith & Wesson earnings report, watch to see whether the company changes its views on its overall strategy going forward. Even if the gunmaker has to endure a sluggish period, it seems clear that the long-term gun-control measures that investors thought would boost TASER at Smith & Wesson's expense appear unlikely to become reality anytime soon.

TAMPA, Fla. — Over nearly 20 years, Derek Jeter's signature moments as the face of the Yankees have piled up, from key hits to genius defensive plays to World Series triumphs. The final product is a timeless legacy and a place among the franchise's greats.
Wednesday, Jeter, elaborating on his decision to retire with the media for the first time, said he doesn't spend time contemplating his standing in history. Being a Yankee, he said, is good enough.
"You want to be remembered as someone that played hard," Jeter said. "But for me, I've said it time and time again, the thing that means the most to me is to be remembered as a Yankee."
That does not mean debates over his ranking in Yankee history will cease. He just thinks they're pointless.
"It's something that doesn't cross your mind as a player. I don't think about these things," Jeter said of the debates. "I'm happy I had the opportunity to play here, for one team, for my entire career. But it's all opinions, you know what I mean? And everyone is going to have a different opinion."

NZ woman acquitted of murdering Indian-origin man
By IANS - WELLINGTON
Published: 19th September 2013 05:44 PM
Last Updated: 19th September 2013 05:44 PM
A New Zealand court Thursday acquitted a woman of charges of murdering an Indian-origin man.
A jury of 12 members in the Wellington High Court cleared Jessica Lee Keefe, 30, of charges of murdering her partner Sean Verma, 30, at his flat in the suburb of Petone in Lower Hutt, Wellington, Jan 29 this year, Fairfax NZ News reported.
Verma died soon after receiving a knife wound to his chest in the flat.
The man of Indian descent was reportedly a member of a major criminal network in New Zealand known as the Mongrel Mob and was the father of Keefe's youngest child.
Keefe had pleaded not guilty in court.
In her statement to police, she said that she could not remember how the knife pierced Verma's chest when he was hitting her.
However, Keefe didn't produce any evidence in the court.
She told the court that she got a knife to keep Verma away after he punched her.
Keefe said what happened next was a blank and she could not remember if she stabbed him.
In an earlier hearing, the defence lawayer had told the jury that Verma might have impaled himself on the knife while attacking Keefe.
Neighbours who saw the incident through the tall windows of Verma's flat said they saw Keefe fighting back and swinging something at Verma.
Later, a 60-inch television's screen was found cracked at two places.
Keefe and the children were reportedly living two doors away with Verma's parents.
Prior to his death, Verma had pleaded guilty to assaulting Keefe and had also volunteered to go for a counselling course against domestic violence.

Truman Capote and his 1966 Black and White Ball "The Party of the Century" were the inspiration for the Summit Junior Fortnightly Club's gala this year, capping off a month-long designer show house at Twin Maples, the club's headquarters on Springfield Avenue in Summit.
The gala held at the Short Hills Hilton was more formal this year than in others and celebrated the mansion's centennial.
At Capote's 1966 Black and white ball held at the Plaza in New York City guests were instructed to wear masks and came from the arts, politics and society. In Summit, it was the investment banker class with a sprinkling of designers and builders associated with the show house.
Most of the ladies wore sleek black dresses, but there were a few who chose white or cream confections. The men stuck to black tie and one architect/designer, Hiland Hall Turner of Bernardsville, followed the dress code until it came to his feet. He topped off his tenue with a pair of leather flip flops that seemed almost appropriate seeing as how the weather was so mild a suit and tie had to be a bit warm.
Club presidents Tracy Claus and Julie Adams said the club's goal was to raise $100,000 that will be split between The Carol G. Simon Cancer Center at Overlook Hospital in Summit and Twin Maples Historic Preservation Fund. The presidents shivered a bit when they spoke of the recent Wall Street economic collapse and its effect on the gala.
"People are battening down the hatches," said Adams, agreeing that it put "a gigantic crimp" in the fundraising aspect. What kind of crimp? Take the silent auction, particularly the jewelry items. "Typically they would be fought over," she said.
Some other items normally "would have been no-brainers," although they both expected all 22 trips would be snapped up and gala tickets at $250 per person had sold out three weeks before.
Guests were abuzz with an article they had read in the next day's Sunday New York Times about Summit and Wall Street's economic meltdown. The article cited a report that placed Summit, home to so many traders and Wall Street financiers, as no.6 on a list of towns that will suffer in the months to come.
The article also mentioned that traffic at the Twin Maples designer show house had been slower than the 300-400 visitors expected.
Still, the evening was young and it wasn't 1932. And no one expects that either.

|Refinancing with mortgage holder not cheap
Planning to refinance your house?
Deciding through the advertisements, telephone solicitations, direct mail can mean endless choices.
Opting to try your mortgage holder? If yes, buyer be aware offers that appear too good to be true.
What to know about
mortgage holder's offer
For anyone who has refinanced a home or bought a home since 2008, you know all too well the reality of what it's like to get a mortgage with the questions and the need to document every aspect of the credit, debt, income and assets.
Providing documentation
A common pitch given to consumers is "because your loan is already with us, your loan process will be made much easier."
The reality of it is if you refinance your home with your current mortgage holder or even a separate company, you'll need to provide tax returns, W2s, pay stubs and bank statements. Pre-2014, it was possible to provide lighter documentation for lenders originating and selling loans directly to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The game changed Jan. 10, mandating lenders prove a consumer's ability to repay by having an appropriate debt-to-income ratio as well as providing full supporting financial documentation.
In other words, because all lenders are going to require the same documentation, it is not necessarily going to be easier with your current lender.
History of timely repayment on time is not an alternative for documentation. Your current lender does not store your most recent year's tax returns or last month's bank statements necessary in consummating a refinance especially if you bank with another financial institution.
Appraisal requirement
There is all but two programs presently in place for homeowners wishing to refinance without the need to have a new appraisal completed. An FHA streamline refinance paying off one FHA loan in exchange for a new FHA Loan with a preferred interest rate does not require an appraisal.
Through the Making Homes Affordable Program, dubbed Harp 2 that specifically states on a case-by-case basis if the loan being paid off was taken at June 1, 2009 and the loan is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, a borrower has the possibility of refinancing without an appraisal.
Otherwise, in a traditional refinance, a home appraisal is required to determine the loan to value and subsequent ability qualify for the mortgage.
Decision maker still involved
Usually, the loan package created by your loan officer is reviewed by the decision maker, an underwriter with the mortgage company whom you're applying with. The job of the underwriter is to mitigate risk for your mortgage holder i.e. the lender.
In order to mitigate the possibility of loan risk, they create conditions such as providing updated financial documentation, explaining a deposit in the bank account, for example, and sign off those conditions for a final approval for docs to be drawn.
Whether you go with the new mortgage company or you stay with your current mortgage holder, refinance request will be handled by an underwriter will sign off your ability to qualify.
Closing fees are on
a level playing field
No lender has a monopoly on the market that is creating an unfair competitive advantage. Both mortgage and insurance industry regulations closing costs rarely fluctuate amongst these neutral third parties. Closing costs vary in terms of what lenders charge in lender fees, origination fees and discount points.
Below market rates
Mortgage money comes from the creation of loans created and bought and sold on secondary mortgage markets.
Lenders have access mostly to the same rates and programs, but fees vary amongst lenders. One lender cannot offer rates dramatically lower than market on the exception of loan program.
Loan programs change the interest rate dynamic. For example, a 10-year fixed rate is always lower than 30-year fixed rate.
When to refinance with
current mortgage holder
If you have a previous credit challenge, such as a bankruptcy, recently had or are near foreclosure, or there is a major income concern to where a competing lender could not otherwise make you a second offer, then on a case-by-case basis, it may make sense to refinance your loan with your current mortgage holder.
In such a circumstance, however, it would not be a refinance but a loan modification. Another common instance in recent years was procuring a loan modification in lieu of a refinancing because of loan-to-value restrictions.
Because the real estate market has picked up in Sonoma County and throughout California, refinancing is now a possibility for homeowners who previously were unable to do so due to a lack of home equity.
Second opinion matters
Procuring a second opinion from an outside lender against your mortgage holders' quote is always a prudent route to explore, even more so if you have steady employment, good credit and manageable debts.
Working with an expert loan professional could make the difference between having a quick, efficient process with reasonable rates and fees versus a process that is not a guarantee due to the mere fact they collect your mortgage payment each month.

Update, 1:30 p.m.:
Hearing Rick Nash is expected to be out seven to 10 days.
— Nick Cotsonika (@cotsonika) October 10, 2013
…wonder if anyone gets called up from Wolf Pack. My vote would be for Miller who seems the most NHL ready of all the Rangers prospects.
…time for the Rangers to put up or shut up.
Original Post:
Larry Brooks at the New York Post feels that, although the Rangers haven't officially announced Rick Nash's status after taking a blow to the head from Brad Stuart Tuesday night, it would be a surprise if the super star winger plays before either next Wednesday's game in Washington or the match against the Devils in Newark on Oct. 19.
…concussions are tricky, so I could just as easily see Nash back in the Rangers line-up Saturday night in St. Louis,as I could see him missing a month.
Meanwhile, the NHL has announced that they have suspended Stuart for three games, without pay, for the hit on Nash.
Here's the explanation…
…to be honest, I couldn't care less about his suspension. It doesn't help or harm the Rangers in anyway, so, whatever.
…and I don't want to belabor the point, but a lot of Rangers fans gave plenty of excuses for the Blueshirts lack of retaliation against Stuart, including that the players probably didn't realize Nash took a head shot. Well watching the above breakdown of the play you can clearly see numerous Rangers players staring directly at the incident including Derick Brassard who even points towards the area where Nash and Stuart are in an effort to inform the refs of the infraction (1:15 mark).
…i get that Dubinsky helped get the Rangers Nash, while Prust was asking for way too much money and years, but I really miss having those kind of team first guys, who would never allow an incident like that go without a response, on the Rangers. Instead those two are standing up for teammates on other teams as you can see here:

Severe weather has been a stranger to the Panhandles so far this spring. In fact, before June 11, this year marked the sixth latest date without a report of a tornado since 1950. However, that changed as a diffuse retreating warm front, a series of weak upper-level disturbances, and a moist surface upslope flow conspired to ignite thunderstorms across the Oklahoma Panhandle and the northeastern Texas Panhandle during the late afternoon hours of June 11. A favorable combination of instability and wind shear allowed severe supercell thunderstorms to develop quickly. These supercells were prolific hail producers, even dropping softball size hail 5 miles southwest of Beaver and 8 miles southwest of Darrouzett. The tornado drought ended as well. A storm survey crew from the National Weather Service in Amarillo confirmed that four tornadoes occurred in the area, including an EF-1 tornado near Tyrone, OK, an EF-0 just north of Boyd, OK, an EF-0 tornado near Darrouzett, TX, and another EF-0 tornado near Follett, TX. It was determined that very strong straight line winds up to 95 mph were responsible for overturning irrigation pivots and snapping a power pole near Forgan, OK. We would like to thank everyone that provided invaluable severe weather reports during this event!

DSEE 7 Localization Guide
By hajma on Dec 11, 2009
Would you like to have Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition in your language? And the language happens to not be one of the supported ones (French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese) ?
Do not lose the hope!
In the times of DSEE 6.2, Shankar started putting together a document on how to add a new language to DSEE. Unfortunately there were some organizational changes, he moved to another place in Sun and the almost finished document was left abandoned. So I took up the torch and with the help of the QA team updated it to reflect the state of DSEE 7. Deepak then put it to the correct template and published it.
The Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 Localization Guide is now available from the DSEE7 documentation page.

Background: The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma is increasing rapidly. Gastroesophageal reflux is a strong risk factor for this disease. The increase in incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma coincided with the introduction of medications that promote reflux by relaxing the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), such as nitroglycerin, anticholinergics, β-adrenergic agonists, aminophyllines, and benzodiazepines.
Objective: To test the possible association between use of LES-relaxing medications and risk for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia.
Design: A nationwide population-based case–control study with in-person interviews.
Setting: Sweden, 1995 through 1997.
Patients: 189 patients with newly diagnosed esophageal adenocarcinoma, 262 with adenocarcinoma of the gastric cardia, and 167 with esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma were compared with 820 population-based controls.
Measurements: Estimated incidence rate ratios, calculated by using multivariate logistic regression from case–control data with adjustment for potential confounding.
Results: Past use of LES-relaxing drugs was positively associated with risk for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Among daily, long-term users (>5 years) of LES-relaxing drugs, the estimated incidence rate ratio was 3.8 (95% CI, 2.2 to 6.4) compared with persons who had never used these drugs. Drugs of all classes contributed to the increased risk, but the association was particularly strong for anticholinergics. Short-term use of other types of LES-relaxing drugs did not seem to be strongly associated with risk. The association almost disappeared after adjustment for reflux symptoms, indicating that promotion of reflux is the link between use of LES-relaxing drugs and esophageal adenocarcinoma. If 15 490 men in any age group take LES-relaxing drugs daily for 5 years, 1 additional case of adenocarcinoma would be expected (number needed to treat for harm); in men older than 60 years of age, the number needed to treat for harm is 5570. Assuming a causal relation, about 10% of the esophageal adenocarcinomas occurring in the population may be attributable to intake of LES-relaxing drugs. Cardia adenocarcinoma and esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma were not associated with use of LES-relaxing drugs.
Conclusions: The widespread use of LES-relaxing drugs may have contributed to the increasing incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Today we learn that 50 year old Ziering is back to give the ladies more of what they want … a lotta Ian beefcake. If you are interested in seeing Ian Ziering in the mostly-bared flesh, you can see him and the rest of the Chippendales dancers in Sin City thru July 20th.

The PR industry has come a long way since the days of intricately dissecting coverage from a magazine and laboriously sticking these into a cuttings book. While the impact of this as it slams down upon a client's desk is undoubtedly impressive, just what is the impact of this PR in communicating a message that remains with its audience long after they've finished reading an article? How effective is this in stimulating action? And finally, how can we measure this in a meaningful way? These are all considerations that were discussed at a recent conference – entitled PR Analytics – organised by online magazine PRmoment.com.
One spokesperson at the event stated: "It is important to think about re-calibrating our approach so we're not just delivering vanity metrics." Indeed, 'metrics' is a useful term when considering how the industry will progress in evaluating a PR campaign's merits by using accurate statistical data to do so. Making use of tools such as Google Analytics will enable precise media monitoring to discover whether, for example, a company website has enjoyed increased visits following press activity. Other considerations include the journey that a visitor takes around a website, and whether this correlates with the expected route, and the success in securing key messages with publications. Indeed, which messages are generating media coverage? What type of conversations is this generating? Where is website traffic coming from?
PR practitioners must recognise that evaluation methods are developing. As Jim Desler, director of worldwide PR for Microsoft, added: "The question is, 'how are we going to measure ourselves in a way that's meaningful for what we do?' We need to talk in numbers, the same language as our business stakeholders. The science of metrics and analytics will greatly aid PR. This richness of data is where we will derive value from our actions."

St. Mary Medical Center opens area's only neuropathy center
Good sensation is a matter of quality of life, but also safety and health. St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart announces the opening of the Neuropathy Center — a place where people at loss for sensation can receive comprehensive care for their condition.
The center offers hope to those who want to prevent the disease from becoming serious, and for those whose treatment options have been exhausted.
Neuropathy is a condition of the nerves that occurs most commonly in the feet and hands. It can cause pain, tingling and sensation loss. Severe neuropathy poses serious medical complications, and could result in amputation. Without the ability to feel sensation, patients aren't aware of dangerous cuts or wounds.
The Neuropathy Center at St. Mary Medical Center is staffed by dedicated podiatrists, or foot doctors, who are most likely to treat the disease. Other specialists, such as hand surgeons, are available for those whose neuropathy affects places other than the feet.
The professionals at the Neuropathy Center can provide care from initial assessment to diagnostics and treatment, depending on the patient's needs. The podiatrists at the Neuropathy Center are credentialed to perform a highly-specialized surgery at St. Mary Medical Center for those whose neuropathy cannot be cured with medications or physical therapy.
According to the Neuropathy Association (www.neuropathy.org), this condition affects 10-20 million Americans. It can occur at any age, but is more common among older adults. About 30 percent of neuropathies are of unknown cause; another 30 percent stem from diabetes. Other causes include cancer or cancer treatments, autoimmunity, tumors, heredity, nutritional deficiencies, infections, metabolic abnormalities and trauma.
"What is most dangerous about neuropathy is that those who are at risk for it might not feel symptoms until the disease has progressed to the point where they need a major medical intervention," says Stephen Grandfield, D.P.M, a podiatrist on staff at St. Mary Medical Center. "If people with diabetes or other known causes of neuropathy simply were tested regularly for this, we could in most cases avoid severe complications, such as loss of limbs, wounds or other problems."
Neuropathy Page 2
Screening for neuropathy is simple. A type of quantitative sensory testing called PSSD detects lack of normal sensation in feet and hands. The test is simple, painless, non-invasive and only takes a few minutes. It's available through the Neuropathy Center thanks to a donation by the St. Mary Medical Center Auxiliary.
During the test, a technician uses a hand-held device attached to a laptop computer to graph the patient's sense of touch and feel. The device has two small points that are held against the feet or hands while the computer does the calculations.
"This test provides instant results to tell us if the person has neuropathy, and to what degree. It's extremely useful in helping us determine a plan of treatment right away," says Michael Nirenberg, D.P.M., a podiatrist who sees patients in the Neuropathy Center.
The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy may include: numbness and loss of feeling (usually first in the feet or hands), slower reflexes, tingling sensations in fingers and toes, pain that may be sharp or lightning-like, deep aches that make sleep or daily activities difficult, sensitive skin that responds to the slightest touch and weak muscles.
Like any disease, the longer neuropathy goes unchecked, the more difficult it is to treat it effectively, says Michael Carroll, D.P.M., a St. Mary Medical Center staff podiatrist who sees patients at the Center.
"The first step in treating neuropathy is to find its underlying cause. If we can eliminate the cause, such as alcoholism or out-of-control diabetes, we have a better chance of getting the neuropathy under control," Carroll says.
After determining the cause, doctors can help devise a treatment plan to address the symptoms, including drugs to increase sensation and decrease pain, and physical therapy to address mobility. Or, the doctors can simply refer patients back to their own physicians for follow-up care.
"We have so many patients with neuropathy whose doctors have exhausted all options," says James Meade, D.P.M., who treats patients in the Center. "We always try conservative treatments first, but unfortunately, there isn't a long list of conservative treatments for neuropathy, and prolonged use of medications can cause complications."
The physicians who provide care at the Neuropathy Center underwent intense training at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore by renowned physician A. Lee Dellon, M.D., who pioneered a nerve decompression procedure to give patients relief. This procedure is now available at St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart for qualified patients.
Anyone who has diabetes or loss of sensation should ask their doctor about PSSD testing for neuropathy, or call the Neuropathy Center at St. Mary Medical Center: 219-947-6121. The Center is located at 1400 S. Lake Park Ave, Suite 202, Hobart, IN, 46342.

Interventional Cardiology
Emory Heart & Vascular Center interventional cardiologists are using innovative techniques and the latest research and technology to find even more ways to successfully treat cardiovascular disease in the least invasive ways possible.
Interventional cardiology refers to minimally invasive procedures used to diagnose and treat coronary artery and peripheral arterial disease. These procedures use catheters (thin, flexible tubes) and imaging technology to place therapeutic devices and perform lifesaving treatments that would otherwise require open surgery.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration
Emory interventional cardiologists work in close collaboration with our cardiovascular surgeons and other cardiac and vascular specialists to ensure that patients receive the most appropriate care in a seamless environment.
Conditions and Procedures
Emory interventional cardiologists have extensive experience diagnosing and treating a full range of coronary artery and peripheral vascular diseases in our state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories, including:
• Coronary artery disease
• Coronary Microvascular Disease
• Peripheral arterial disease
• Carotid artery disease
• Heart valve disease
• Congenital heart diseases such as: Septal defects and Patent foramen ovales
Some of the many procedures offered at Emory include:
• Percutaneous coronary interventions
• Percutaneous peripheral interventions
• Carotid artery interventions
• Direct interventions for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)
• Minimally invasive valve repair
• Structural heart disease repair

I didn't get the trijicons this time. I decided I'd rather have some heinie straight eight sights. That's right, I omitted factory night sights so I could buy some heinies. Don't tell my household-5.5. (She stays here often and eats my food, just doesn't live here.)

As long-time readers know, I have always had in mind to write a book. I've made several attempts over the past three decades. These attempts have failed. All I have to show are several half-finished manuscripts, not to mention half-finished projects, meant to be photo-samples.
What changed, and why am I telling you all this?
One of my kids studies Latin at University. In the ordinary course of things, I've been exposed. A certain Latin tag really struck me: Ars longa, vita brevis. In English, "life so short, the craft so long to learn." And, yeah, I'm not getting any younger.
So--in yet another victory of optimism over experience--I'm taking another run at it. Instead of writing the "giant book o' knitting" I've aimed for in the past, I've decided to narrow it down for this try--maybe it will only be a booklet--and the subject has been narrowed, too: color knitting.
The plan is to start from the simplest--stripes--then run right through some wonderful new tricks for dealing with long floats. These new tricks finally make possible giant picture knitting. These are tricks which free stranded knitting completely from the "5 stitches before touchdown" rule, and let you go wild with super-long floats in intarsia, too, with no show-through whatsoever on the outside, no, not even when the fabric is stretched. (Yes, these tricks exist, have been knitted up and really work. I just need to write them up.) Other tricks I need to write up include a new trick for knitting and dyeing combined which I call "shadow dyeing," new tricks for keeping track of color patterns, new tricks with weaving, oh, so many new tricks, all fighting to get out.
I didn't want you all to think I had fallen off a cliff, or lost interest--nothing could be further from the truth. I'm trying hard get all these ideas down in one place, not to mention the relief it would bring: these ideas have been racing around my head trying to get out and are just starting to pile up in the.most.annoying.way.
Will a book(let) actually happen? If past experience is anything to go by, then no.
So, don't be disappointed, OK? Probably, I will have to come crawling back to you in a few months, book-less.
Nevertheless, I hope that coming right out in public and saying what I'm working on might hold my feet to the fire. And, you know, reassure you all that TECHknitting is only taking a work-break. New ideas are continuing to be generated, tried out, knitted up, illustrated and described.
(Not to mention that I have many new ideas--OH so many new ideas--about cables, too. Also a whole new afterthought buttonhole--a button-though one right in the middle of the buttonband that is completely and utterly afterthought. Oh dear...more distractions.)
Well, hopefully I will see you all soon-ish, with an announcement of success, and an e-book(let) for sale. At the worst, I will at least return with a bunch of new posts on color knitting.
Until then, good knitting, from your (lazy-and-disorganized-but-trying-to-get-over-it) TK

First of all, this isn't the right group for such a question. It's
not related to PPP. Instead, you might want to try

By Jeff Goodman and Gary Parrish | College Basketball Insiders
It's still Mason Plumlee and Doug McDermott in the top two spots, and then there's the rest of the field. There's just one freshman in contention -- and he enters the Top 10 as a legitimate threat.
Week 6
1. Mason Plumlee--Prev. 1
PF | 6-10 | SR | Duke
Plumlee continues to produce, and holds a slight edge over McDermott after averaging 19.5 points and 12 boards in a pair of home wins over Cornell and Elon. His season averages: 19.3 points and 11.5 rebounds.
2. Doug McDermott--Prev. 2
F | 6-8 | JR | Creighton
McDermott only took nine shots and finished with a quiet 16 points and five rebounds in an easy win over Tulsa. He's averaging 23.1 points, 6.8 boards and is shooting 51 percent from long distance this season.
3. Trey Burke--Prev. 3
G | 6-0 | SOPH | Michigan

4. Jeff Withey--Prev. 4
C | 7-0 | SR | Kansas
He's arguably the best defensive big man in the country. He averaged 15.5 points and 11.5 boards in a pair of wins over Ohio State and Richmond and is putting up 14.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.0 blocks per contest this year.
5. Michael Carter-Williams--Prev. 5
G | 6-6 | SOPH | Syracuse
Carter-Williams and the 'Cuse struggled a bit in their first setback against Temple in New York City, but he's still having one heck of a season. MCW is averaging 12.4 points, 10.3 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 3.4 steals.
6. Cody Zeller--Prev. 6
C | 7-0 | SOPH | Indiana
Zeller averaged 20 points and six rebounds in a pair of easy wins over Florida Atlantic and Mount St. Mary's this past week. He's averaging 16.4 points and 8.1 boards this season.
7. Brandon Paul--Prev. 7
G | 6-4 | SR | Illinois
The Illini suffered their first loss of the year to Missouri, but Paul still put up numbers: He finished with 23 points, eight rebounds and five assists and is averaging 19.2 points, 5.3 boards and 3.6 assists while shooting 39 percent from long range.
8. Russ Smith--Prev. 8
G | 6-0 | JR | Louisville
Smith averaged 17 points in a pair of easy wins over FIU and Western Kentucky and is averaging 19.7 points while continuing to showcase himself as one of the top perimeter defenders in the nation.
9. Anthony Bennett--Prev. N/A
The versatile Canadian has been terrific this season, averaging 19.5 points and 8.5 rebounds. Bennett averaged 20.5 points and 9.5 boards in wins over Northern Iowa and Canisius this past weekend.
10. Jamaal Franklin--Prev. N/A
G/F | 6-5 | JR | San Diego State
The Aztecs' athletic wing is back in the Top 10. He had 19 points and grabbed 15 boards in a win over Indiana State and is averaging 17.9 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists this season.
Dropped out: Deshaun Thomas, Erick Green
