Changes WordPress "Posts" to be called "News Items" instead. 

Copy this code into your theme's functions.php file.

	List_Custom_Post_Type_Posts_with_AJAX class.

	Shows how to create a widget with a dropdown list of posts for a given post type and
	then retrieve HTML specific to the selected post via AJAX to insert into the page.

	Yes, the name of the class is insanely long in hopes that you'll be forced to think
	about what would be a better name.

Plugin Name: Admin Parse Output
Description: Adds a 'admin_parse_output' hook to allow you to parse and modify the HTML generated by the admin when other hooks are not available. Starts HTML capture with the 'admin_init' hook and ends with the 'admin_footer' hook so it will miss anything that comes after 'admin_footer' (see the last lines of /wp-admin/admin-footer.php to see what this hook will miss.)

Plugin Name: The Great WordPress Admin Menu Challenge of Jan 2011
Description: <em>"The Great WordPress Admin Menu Challenge of Jan 2011"</em> was inspired by the WordPress team's apparent lack of understanding of the problems addressed by trac tickets <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16048">#16048</a> and <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16050">#16050</a> <em>(See also: <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16204">#16204</a>)</em> and suggestion that the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-menu-editor/>Admin Menu Editor</a> plugin handles the use-cases that the tickets address. Debate spilled over onto Twitter with participation from <a href="http://twitter.com/nacin">@nacin</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/aaronjorbin">@aaronjorbin</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/petemall">@petemall</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/westi">@westi</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/janeforshort">@janeforshort</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/PatchesWelcome">@PatchesW
