Sources: At least five reputable sourcesmust be cited, including at least one from a peer-reviewed source. \u201cReputable\u201d sources means respected media or journal reports, and generally from sources without a material interest in the subject. Not acceptable sources include general websites, blogs, aggregators, or information clearing-houses; encyclopedias; and Wikipedia, Investopedia, About.com, or Yahoo will not suffice as reputable sources.

You should have at least two potential subjects, in case your first choice isn\u2019t quite right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
