******* Five years ago, when Nick Palazzo and Chad Zimmerman were high school football teammates in suburban Cleveland, they had a hard time tracking down advice for improving their performance. When they went to college - Mr. Palazzo to Harvard and Mr. Zimmerman to Carnegie Mellon - they heard the same complaint from their teammates. Thus was born an idea: start a magazine providing high school athletes with training tips and other pointers for revving up their skills. By the time Mr. Zimmerman graduated in 2004 (one year after Mr. Palazzo finished his schooling), they had written a business plan. Within six months, they raised well over $1 million, most of it from a local private equity firm. The magazine, called Stack, made its debut in February with a free distribution to 3,200 high school athletic directors. "My parents expected me to get a job on Wall Street," Mr. Palazzo said. "They weren't very happy when I told them what I wanted to do." MORE ONLINE

"This is a book for TV fans. It's not mean. I don't think people want to see the guys that they like on TV ripped down." There's a lot riding on LeGrice's calculation of what readers want. Inside TV, the product of focus groups and sample reader surveys, will be competing with American Media's five-week test-balloon Celebrity Living, also launching today. MORE ONLINE

Sylvester Stallone is involved in a legal battle over the name of his new magazine Sly. Stallone's male interest publication enjoyed a triumphant launch last month - but disaster struck Tuesday when women's magazine Sly Magazine LLC accused the 'Rocky' actor's publisher American Media of copyright infringement and filed a $1 million lawsuit. Sly Magazine LLC is aimed at style-conscious young women with money to spend, while Stallone's brainchild focuses on fashion and lifestyle for men who "believe that life begins at 40".. MORE ONLINE
