Function List
Function List Panel is a zone to display all the function (or method) find in current file. User can use Function List Panel to access to a function definition quickly by double clicking function item on the list. Function List can be customized to list the functions for whichever language. For customizing Function List to recognize your favorate language, please check below.
Function list contains a search engin (by using regular expression) and a pannel to display the search result (function list). It is designed to be as generic as possible, and allows user to modify the way to search, or to add new parser for any programming language.
In order to make function list work for your language (if not supported), you should modify functionList.xml. It can be found in %APPDATA%\notepad++\ or in Notepad++ installed directory if you use zip package.
Define your parser and add it by adding node parser in parsers node:
In parser node it contains:
- id: uniq ID for this parser
- displayName: reserved for future use.
- comment: Optional. you can make a RE in this attribute in order to identify comment zones. The identified zones will be ignored by search.
There are 3 kinds of parsers: function parser, class parser and mix parser.
Define a function parser if the language has only functions to parse (for example C).
Define a class parser if the language has functions "defined" in a class, but no function defined outside of a class (for example Java).
Define a mix parser if you have function "defined" both inside and ouside of a class in a file (for example C++).
A function parser contains only a function node.
A class parser contains only a classRange node.
A mix parser contains both function and classRange nodes.
Function parser
In function node it contains:
- mainExpr: it's the regex to get the whole string which contains all the informations you need.
- displayMode: reserved for future use.
- functionName: define a or several RE to get the function name from the result of "mainExpr" attribute of "function" node.
- nameExpr: 1..N
- expr: here you define the RE to find the function name.
- className: define a or several RE to get the class name from the result of "mainExpr".
- nameExpr: 1..N
- expr: here you define the RE to find the function name.
Both functionName and className nodes are optional.
If functionName and className are absent, then the found string by mainExpr RE will be processed as function name, and the class name won't be used.
The nodes functionName and className have the same structure, and they have the same parsing behaviour. For example, in the functionName node, we got 2 nameExpr nodes:
If the function parser find the first result by mainExpr attribute, then it will use the first nameExpr to search in the first result, if found (the 2nd result), then it will use the 2nd nameExpr to search in the 2nd result. If found, then the function name is solved.
Class parser
In classRange node it contains:
- mainExr: the main whole string to serach
- displayMode: reserved for future use.
- openSymbole & closeSymbole: they are optional. if defined, then the parser will determinate the zone of this class. It find first openSymbole from the first character of found string by mainExpr attribute. then it determinates the end of class by closeSymbole found. The algorithm deals with the several levels of imbrication. for example: {{{}{}}{}}
- className: 1 (or more) nameExpr node for determinating class name (from the result of mainExpr searching).
- function: search in the class zone by using mainExpr attribute and the functionName nodes.
Mix parser
Mix Parser contains Class parser (classRange node) and Function parser (function node).
Class parser will be applied firstly to find class zones, then function parser will be applied on non-class zones.
Link to Language
Once you finish to defined your parser, you can associate it with Notepad++ internal language id (or with file extension), in order to make it works with the language you want. All you need to do is add association node(s) into associationMap node.
In associationMap, it contains:
- association: 1 or several nodes to make associations between defined parsers and languages.
- langID: Notepad++ internal language ID.
- userDefinedLangName: User Defined Language Name. It makes association between User Defined Language and the parser. If langID is present, this attribute will be ignored.
- ext: File name extesion (should contain '.'). If langID or userDefinedLangName is present, this attribute will be ignored.
- id: Parser ID.

HOUSTON – Houston billionaire Richard Kinder is fusing all the pieces of his fragmented pipeline empire into one company, Kinder Morgan Inc., in a $44 billion transaction that ranks among the largest in U.S. history.
In a move that would end nearly two decades of delegating its main operations to subordinate firms, Houston-based Kinder Morgan said Sunday it is planning to buy out three companies it controls indirectly for $44 billion in cash and stock, bringing its network of North American pipelines and energy storage terminals under one corporate roof. It also will assume $27 billion in debt.
Taken together, the three purchases rank as the second-largest energy deal and 16th-largest acquisition overall in U.S. history, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The only U.S. energy deal to outrank the one Kinder Morgan proposed Sunday is Exxon Corp.'s $74.5 billion purchase of Mobil Corp. in 1999. It's larger than Chevron Corp.'s $36.4 billion takeover of Texaco Inc. in 2001, and it beats out the deal that would have been this year's biggest in the United States, Comcast's $43.9 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable. Kinder Morgan projects its stock market value will climb from $37.1 billion on Friday to around $100 billion after the deal's close, which is expected by the end of the year.
In an interview with Fuelfix, Richard Kinder — the chairman and CEO of Kinder Morgan Inc. — said the massive buyout is an effort to accelerate the firm's North American growth by getting rid of Kinder Morgan Inc.'s rights to cash infusions paid by its main pipeline and terminal companies, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners and El Paso Pipeline Partners.
"We've gotten to a size where our incentive distribution rights at the parent take up a very large portion of the cash flow" coming out of the two pipeline operators, Kinder said. After the deal, "everything will be tethered into one melting pot that's going to produce dramatically increased dividends and a faster growth rate."
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners' cash distributions to Kinder Morgan Inc. ate up about half of its $3.3 billion in available cash last year, according to regulatory filings. Eliminating the distributions, Kinder said, will enable the firm to invest unimpeded in North America's $640 billion market for new energy infrastructure investments.
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners and El Paso Pipeline Partners are master limited partnerships, tax-advantaged corporate structures that are required to distribute its most or all of their cash flow to investors. The third company in the deal, Kinder Morgan Management, was formed in 2001 to hold a stake in Kinder Morgan Energy Partners.
Two decades ago, Kinder's firm was the first master limited partnership to put a laser focus on growing its distributions by acquiring or investing in new assets – and the strategy paid off: All told, the Kinder Morgan companies have boosted their enterprise value – their stock value plus debt – from about $300 million in the mid-1990s to a combined $140 billion, operating the largest network of U.S. pipelines and energy storage terminals, with 80,000 miles of pipelines and 180 terminals.
Now, after years of rapid growth, Kinder Morgan is shedding the MLP structure – in a bid to grow even faster.
"We're still believers in the MLP model; there's nothing wrong with it," Kinder said. "But if we put all these together, we can reduce that cost of capital and we can grow faster, and provide a simpler story to our investors. We've got a lot of fertile ground to plow."
Some analysts recently have criticized Kinder Morgan's corporate structure, saying that the subordinate pipeline firms' high-percentage payouts to the general partner are stunting their growth. MLPs have gained favor with investors in recent years because of yields that are much higher than most other investments, as interest rates have stayed low. The yield is about 7 percent on a Kinder Morgan Energy Partners unit — a master limited partnership's counterpart to a corporate share.
Under the new structure, Kinder said, the yield will start substantially lower, at 4.5 percent, and will gradually decline. Still, the bulked-up Kinder Morgan Inc. will be able to boost its annual dividends 16 percent to $2 a share next year, pushing its total dividend payment to around $4.2 billion. It'll also generate $2 billion in excess cash that could be poured into its investment plans.
And without the cash distributions, the firm could increase its $17 billion backlog of infrastructure projects and take a harder look at rivals it wants to buy. There are about 120 master limited partnerships in the market worth $800 billion, and that's likely to spur an era of consolidation over the next few years, Kinder said.
Indeed, the firm bought out natural gas pipeline giant El Paso Corp. in 2012 for $21 billion and, last year, spent $4 billion to buy gas pipeline and processor company Copano Energy.
Steve Kean, Kinder Morgan's president and chief operating officer, said more operators in North America's emerging shale gas plays and more liquefied natural gas exporters are signing up for gas shipments, with Kinder Morgan adding long-term commitments to handle 5.3 billion in cubic feet of natural gas last year.
"We haven't even seen the next big wave crash on the shores," Kean said. "We think there will be substantial power conversion to natural gas. There's great industrial demand all along the Gulf Coast and there's more to come on Mexico exports."
Over the next decade, Kinder said, there will likely be another 27 billion cubic feet of natural gas that needs to be moved around the country.
That's because the center of gravity for of gas production in the United States has shifted from Texas and Louisiana to the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and the Utica Shale in Ohio. And the nation's main base for gas buyers has shifted from the Midwestern and Northeastern states to the Gulf Coast, where new liquefied natural gas export and petrochemical facilities are emerging, Kinder said.
"You've got to build a hell of a lot of transportation capacity to get it there, and that's where I think we really fit well," he said. He added the company won't have to lay off any of its 11,000 workers because of the deal, and will actually be able to hire new employees at a faster rate.
Kinder, the richest Houston billionaire according to Forbes, co-founded the pipeline empire in the 1990s and owns 23 percent of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners' general partner, a stake worth $8.4 billion on Friday. After issuing millions of shares in the transaction announced Sunday, his stake in KMI will fall to 11 percent, he said.
"I think the real test of whether this makes sense or not is that I should be the canary in the coal mine," he said. "So if I didn't think this was going to be a really good deal for the KMI shareholders, I certainly would never have voted to do this transaction."
While he acknowledged mega-deals can often draw scrutiny from investors, Kinder said he's confident the deal will pass muster, largely because of the favorable terms of the deal.
- Kinder Morgan Inc. agreed to swap nearly 2.2 shares and $10.77 in cash for each partnership unit in Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, the biggest pipeline operator that it indirectly controls. That's worth $89.98 a unit, a 12 percent premium on Friday's closing price.
- The firm said it will also give nearly 2.5 shares of Kinder Morgan Inc. for each share in Kinder Morgan Management. At a value of $89.75 a share, the offer represents a 16.5 percent premium on Friday's price.
- Investors in El Paso Pipeline Partners will get 0.94 shares in the general partner and $4.65 in cash, swapping $38.79 for each unit. That's a 15.4 percent premium on Friday's price.

The more forgiving amongst us may feel some genuine pity for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. On one hand, President Barack Obama loaded her department with the mammoth task of writing up the thousands of rules and regulations that will constitute the real weight of ObamaCare. On the other, he charged Secretary Sebelius with the even more onerous duty of convincing a (rightfully) skeptical American public that the new 2,801 page health care reform law represented a landmark achievement that would benefit all citizens. So far, this hasn't gone so well.
The law remains unpopular to this day due to failure in the realms of principle, policy, constitutionality, and public relations. This lingering unpopularity has led to serious real-world consequences for the law itself. As Joshua Withrow noted before, a stunning majority of states have refused to set up their own state "exchanges," which are the basic machinery through which ObamaCare is meant to operate.
Unless these states undergo an inexplicable change of heart, this means that Secretary Sebelius's department will now take on the added responsibility of creating a majority of the state health insurance "exchanges." In fact, her department has so far only granted "conditional approval" to seventeen proposed state "exchanges," so the number may end up even higher than twenty-seven. It goes without saying that creating just one of these exchanges is not a cheap, simple, easy, or quick process.
Remember, the clock is ticking on ObamaCare's implementation. On October 1st of this year, citizens will supposedly be able to purchase health insurance through these "exchanges," with their coverage beginning on January 1st, 2014. Secretary Sebelius, in fear of this fast-approaching implementation deadline, has graciously (read: desperately) decided to extend or even outright waive the deadline for states to set up their own "exchanges."
This isn't the first time that Secretary Sebelius has postponed this particular deadline. Originally, states were meant to submit their proposals to her department on November 16th of last year. However, well aware that a large majority of states would not meet that deadline (or had any intentions of trying), she delayed it on November 9th to December 14th while demanding that those states that did intend to create an "exchange" must submit a brief "letter of intent" along those lines by the original deadline of November 16th.
This new deadline didn't work out so well, either. On November 15th, when Secretary Sebelius finally realized that those "letters of intent" probably weren't in the mail, she ditched that idea and admitted that the letters could be sent on December 14th, as well. However, she insisted that she would make a final decision on January 1st of this year regarding which states would be allowed to create their own "exchanges." Surely, this would be the final deadline.
As you might suspect, it didn't turn out to be the final deadline. On January 14th, Secretary Sebelius admitted that she would still accept proposals from states that desired to create their own "exchanges." In fact, she will now "waive or extend the deadline" for those states. Perhaps to preserve a shred of dignity, her department claims that proposals for "partnership exchanges" between states and the federal government must still be submitted by February 15th.
It's fair to ask whether Secretary Sebelius is "kicking the can down the road" on the issue of ObamaCare implementation. Well aware that her department is ill-prepared (if not completely incapable) of taking on the gargantuan burden of creating dozens of state "exchanges" by itself, she has continually pushed back this key deadline. Now, there is no true deadline, other than the planned starting date of October 1st.
Is there still time for her department to create these "exchanges?" Not if you were to ask Dan Mendelson, president of consulting firm Avalere Health.
The Washington Post quoted Mendelson as saying that, "It would be very hard at this point to start from scratch. I'm not going to say it's impossible, but it would be unlikely." To be fair, he was discussing recalcitrant states and not the Department of Health and Human Services, but that only makes it worse. A state only needs to construct a single exchange. Secretary Sebelius will have to build dozens. Also, keep in mind that Mr. Mendelson provided this opinion months ago on November 9th. The situation has only grown more dire for Secretary Sebelius since then, as so much precious time has elapsed.
Secretary Sebelius has a hard job. However, she is engaging in pure self-delusion if she believes that repeatedly pushing back these deadlines will cause the states resisting ObamaCare to flock under its banner in these final months. The longer she holds out baseless hope along these lines, the less time her department will have to slap together a pile of last-minute "exchanges."
As FreedomWorks' Vice President of Health Care Policy Dean Clancy put it, "The wheels are coming off the bus, and the Administration is getting desperate." It's time for Secretary Sebelius to admit the obvious: a majority of states in the Union do not support ObamaCare and do not want to participate in it.
It's that simple.

Apple's hardware has taken home four of the 11 publicly-voted awards given out during this year's T3 Gadget Awards. The MacBook Air took home the Gadget Candy Award, while the iPhone got the Commuter Gadget of the year. The 32 GB iPod touch managed to score both Gadget of the Year and Best Music Gadget.
All of the winners were chosen by T3 readers during a polling process that lasted approximately five months. Other winners included the TomTom GO 930 as Gadget you Can't Live Without, and Dixons.co.ux as Retailer of the Year. Toy of the Year went to Guitar Hero III to name a few. Also of note was the Best New Media Innovation going to the BBC iPlayer for the iPhone/iPod touch.
While I do have an iPod touch myself, I find it hard to believe that the device is actually the Gadget of the Year. Don't get me wrong; I really do enjoy mine and haven't regretted the purchase at all. It's just there have been a lot of cool gadgets released this year, not to mention the iPhone 3G. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!

The OpEd Project is a social venture founded to increase the range of voices and quality of ideas we hear in the world.
Our starting goal is to increase the number of women thought leaders contributing to key commentary forums—which feed all other media, and drive thought leadership across all industries—to a tipping point. We envision a world in which the best ideas—regardless of where or whom they come from—will have a chance to be heard and shape society and the world. We have a nonprofit and a for-profit arm (the revenues from which support our nonprofit activities). We launched with support and seed funding from Echoing Green in 2008. (Read more on why we got started.)
Working with universities, think tanks, foundations, nonprofits, corporations and community organizations across the nation, we scout and train under-represented experts (especially women) to take thought leadership positions in their fields (through op-eds and much more); we connect them with our international network of high-level media mentors; and we vet and channel the best new ideas and experts directly to media gatekeepers across all platforms. We offer customized multi-day and multi-week programs for organizations, and we run day-long programs open to the public (40% on scholarship) in major US cities. We also run year-long fellowship programs for top faculty at select universities. Our dynamic, game-inspired programs are built on experimental, transformational learning around thought leadership, and address big questions, including: What do you know, Why does it matter, and How can you use it to change the world?
Our Vision is to create a sea change in our world's conversation by empowering a wave of new voices to join the important public conversations of our age, to take our equal place as narrators of the world, and to encourage and refer others to do the same—creating a multiplier effect that will alter the patterns of under-representation in media inboxes and outlets, and expand the earth's talent pool. Our vision is also for a truly merit-based public debate. Rather than demanding editors meet gender quotas (perhaps at the expense of publishing the best op-eds), The OpEd Project presumes we are all equally smart, talented and valuable – and will be equally represented in public debate if given the opportunity.
Why this matters: We—our leaders and the public—are not getting the information and ideas we need to make the best decisions. Our world conversation is currently an echo chamber that reproduces the same narrow range of (85% male) voices over and over. Even worse among academics: a May 2008 Rutgers University study found that 97% of op-eds by scholars in the Wall Street Journal are written by men. What is the cost to society when so many of our best minds and best ideas are left out?
What could we accomplish if together we invested in our missing brain power?

|MLBPA/MLB News Release
NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball Players Association director of player services Tony Clark today announced that former Major Leaguer Jose Cruz, Jr. has joined the player services department as special assistant.
Cruz Jr., 38, made his Major League debut in 1997 and appeared in 1,388 games in 12 seasons, playing with Seattle, Toronto, San Francisco, Tampa, Arizona, Boston, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego before retiring in 2008. Drafted by the Mariners with the third pick in the first round of the 1995 amateur draft, Cruz was a Gold Glove outfielder in 2003, and he finished his career with 1,167 hits, 204 home runs, 624 RBIs and a .247 batting average.
The son of former Major Leaguer Jose Cruz, and born in Arroyo, Puerto Rico, Cruz Jr. will assist the union's player services department by providing additional educational and communications support to Spanish-speaking players, in addition to the general membership. "Junior," who spent the 2012 season working with ESPN as a baseball analyst, will graduate in May from Rice University with a degree in sports management.
"I'm excited to join the player services staff of the MLBPA," stated Cruz. "I have been around the game my entire life, and I look forward to putting that experience to good use by helping the union in its player-relations efforts."
"Jose's playing career, background in the game and his desire to support our fraternity of players makes him the ideal candidate for a role in the union's player services department," said Clark. "We're fortunate to have him on board."
"We're pleased to add Jose to our staff," added MLBPA executive director Michael Weiner. "His lifelong experience in the game will enhance the union's ongoing efforts to keep our membership informed and engaged; Jose is sure to be an invaluable asset to Tony Clark and the players services department."

Board of Trustees meets; President Erickson's remarks
Penn State President Rodney Erickson delivered the following remarks during the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees, held Nov. 22 at The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel on the University Park campus:
Good afternoon. As Keith Masser mentioned, we have a very tight schedule this afternoon, so I'll keep my remarks brief. However, there's always time for a little good news. First, Moody's gave Penn State's bond rating a boost by revising the financial outlook to positive. Moody's cited Penn State's "rapid and effectively executed improvements to its governance, best practices and management over the past year." The Aa2 rating with a positive outlook reflects a high-quality credit profile, as well as Penn State's significant liquidity, limited financial leverage, and rapid response to challenges over the last year. The rating agency's report also referenced the resolution of most of the settlement claims with the victims of Jerry Sandusky in its rationale for revising the outlook.

I know, I know, I always say it: things are crazy around here. You must be sick of hearing about it. I don't blame you.
September was fairly relaxing, we had two weeks off before supply teaching started off. It was nice to spend time with the hubs just sort of "gettin' 'er done". Then, Trev got shingles. Supply work was busy, but I could manage the cooking and cleaning (okay, just the cooking), alone while he recuperated.
Gotta hand-stitch that waistband down.
Then, he had an interview. There goes our weekend. ("What three items do you think exemplify what makes you an excellent teacher?")
Then I had an interview. And I got it. (Gotta hand-stitch that waistband down.) Flipping awesome. But whoa. A lot of work. New students, new classes, new school. Starting all over. Gotta prove myself to the administration. That's okay, I don't mind. Trevor is feeling better (Gotta hand-stitch that waistband down.), so I can help him with some of the cooking and cleaning.
Week two. On my prep period getting ready for my last class. (Gotta hand-stitch that waistband down.) I get a call from the ambulance. Trevor is headed to the ER with pain, he is assuming he has kidney stones. Rush back to Niagara. CAT scan.
Yup. Kidney stones.
Need to take care of Trevor again. While he is recuperating, he is preparing for, yup, another interview.
("Tell me, how do you assess your students?")
Cooking, trying to clean enough to make the next meal ("How do you plan a unit?"), while prepping the hubs for the big interview. Not to mention planning for the classes. (His interview was successful, btw.)
Wake up at 5:45, get ready (Gotta hem the skirt.), go to work, come home, clean enough pots and pans, get dinner ready, make sure Trev is okay, eat (Gotta hem the skirt), plan, pass out by 9 (If I'm lucky enough to have everything done by then). Repeat.
What's that? Trev has another interview? Well at least they told him three hours before hand. No time to prep for that.
Plan a semi-formal for 54 students. Plan a field trip for 54 students in the same week. (Whose bright idea was that?)
Get coughed in the face at least 5 times each day.
"What's that? It's Christmas break, you say? Tomorrow is your first official full 24 hours off, you say? Well, here, have a cold. Merry Christmas."
So much has happened in the past six months that I have not even remotely had a chance to share with you. I hope that you can be patient, because some of these things are quite exciting (to me at least).
But more than all this (I'm not complaining, just being factual), I want to wish every one of you a safe and fabulous two thousand fourteen. I hope you sew that dress, make that quilt, pick up that new skill. I hope you plant a fabulous fresh garden. I hope you live lots of adventures, laugh lots, and love even more.
Happy New Year :)
{Just see it.}

After more than five years of independence, yesterday the prominent political science blog the Monkey Cage told its readers that it will become part of the Washington Post.
The Monkey Cage has grown in popularity through its unique blend of journalism and academic research, spurred by a group of political scientists' attempt to "indulge [their] non-academic interests" and cultivate a blog with a "'personality' that extends beyond political science," according to their mission statement.
"[T]he Post offers a tremendous opportunity both to increase and broaden our audience and to improve our content," said John Sides, cofounder of the Monkey Cage, in a blog post. "We think that it will be a great place to continue the blog's mission of publicizing political science research and providing informed commentary on politics and current events."
Sides is coauthor of forthcoming The Gamble: Choice and Chance in the 2012 Presidential Election with Lynn Vavreck. Using an unusual "moneyball" approach, they look beyond the anecdote, folklore, and conventional wisdom that often pass for election analysis. Instead, they draw on extensive quantitative data about the economy, public opinion, news coverage, and political advertising to separate what was truly important from what was irrelevant. Combining this data with the best social science research and colorful on-the-ground reporting, they provide the most accurate and precise account of the election yet written—and the only book of its kind.
Garnering posts from various contributors, the blog is maintained by four political scientists in addition to Sides, including Andrew Gelman, author of Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State: Why Americans Vote the Way They Do.
Stay tuned to the Monkey Cage for more groundbreaking political commentary and Princeton University Press for The Gamble, out next month.

Bloomberg Business, is a weekly business magazine published by Bloomberg L.P. It was known originally as Businessweek and later known from 2009 until January 2015 as Bloomberg Businessweek. Businessweek was founded in 1929, the magazine was created to provide information and interpretation about what was happening in the business world.[2] It is currently headquartered in New York City.
Businessweek was first published in September 1929, only weeks before the stock market crash of 1929. The magazine provided information and opinions on what was happening in the business world at the time. Early sections of the magazine included marketing, labor, finance, management and Washington Outlook, which made Businessweek one of the first publications to cover national political issues that directly impacted the business world.[3]
Businessweek was originally published to be a resource for business managers. However in the 1970s, the magazine shifted its strategy and added consumers outside of the business world.[4] Since 1975, Businessweek has carried more annual advertising pages than any other magazine in the United States.[5]
Stephen B. Shepard served as editor-in-chief from 1984 until 2005 when he was chosen to be the founding dean of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. Under Shepard, Businessweek's readership grew to more than six million in the late 1980s.[6] He was succeeded by Stephen J. Adler of The Wall Street Journal.[7]
Bloomberg L.P. acquisition[edit]
Businessweek suffered a decline during the late-2000s recession as advertising revenues fell one-third by the start of 2009 and the magazine's circulation fell to 936,000. In July 2009, it was reported that McGraw-Hill was trying to sell Businessweek and had hired Evercore Partners to conduct the sale. Because of the magazine's liabilities, it was suggested that it might change hands for the nominal price of $1 to an investor who was willing to incur losses turning the magazine around.[8]
In late 2009, Bloomberg L.P. bought the magazine—for a reported $2 million to $5 million plus assumption of liabilities—and renamed it Bloomberg Businessweek.[9][10] Adler resigned as editor-in-chief and was replaced by Josh Tyrangiel, who had been deputy managing editor for Time magazine.[11] In early 2010, the magazine title was restyled Bloomberg Businessweek (with a lowercase "w") as part of a redesign.[12]
As of early 2015, the long-awaited flagship web portal for Bloomberg News, Bloomberg Businessweek and various other journalistic entities within Bloomberg L.P. launched as Bloomberg Business.[13]
The magazine's primary competitors in the national business magazine category are Forbes, published bi-weekly, and Fortune, published on a tri-weekly basis.
Business school rankings[edit]
Since 1988, Businessweek has published annual rankings of United States business school MBA programs.[14] In 2006, it also started publishing annual rankings of undergraduate business programs.[15]
Additional versions[edit]
International editions of Businessweek were available on newsstands in Europe and Asia until 2005 when publication of regional editions was suspended to help increase foreign readership of customized European and Asian versions of Businessweek's website.[16]
At the same time, Businessweek partnered with InfoPro Management, a publishing and market research company based in Beirut, Lebanon, to product the Arabic version of the magazine in 22 Arab countries.[17]
In 2011, Bloomberg Businessweek continued the magazine's international expansion and announced plans to introduce a Polish-language edition called Bloomberg Businessweek Polska, as well as a Chinese edition which was relaunched in November 2011.[18][19][20]
Bloomberg Businessweek launched an iPad version of the magazine using Apple's subscription billing service in 2011. The iPad edition was the first to use this subscription method, which allows one to subscribe via an iTunes account.[21] There are over 100,000 subscribers to the iPad edition of Businessweek.[22]

The invention of the name Greenland may mark the start of the advertising industry.
The Saga of the Greenlanders tells how Erik the Red, the Icelandic Viking who wanted to get people to join his planned settlement, called it Greenland because a pleasant name would attract more settlers:
He called the land which he had found Greenland, because, quoth he, "people will be attracted thither, if the land has a good name."
The ice sheet on Greenland covers most of this huge island.
Greenland is losing ice, and the mass of ice lost is measured by satellites called GRACE.
A survey of Greenland's glaciers has shown they are speeding up.
The speed has increased by about 30% in 10 years.
A new NASA project called Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) will observe changing water temperatures on the continental shelf surrounding Greenland, and how marine glaciers react to the presence of warm, salty Atlantic water.
Updates about Greenland's ice sheet are regularly posted by the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Earlier this month I visited Houston with Edward Robinson, associate curator of the Wallis Annenberg Photography Department, to install the show Assembly: Eight Emerging Southern California Photographers as part of the thirteenth FotoFest Biennial of Photography and Photo-related Art. FotoFest is a month-long festival that rounds up over a hundred art galleries and other viable spaces to host exhibitions, portfolio reviews, workshops, an auction, film screenings, and curatorial dialogues and symposia. Assembly is one of four exhibits by guest curators that fit this year's theme of contemporary U.S. photography.
Natasha Egan, associate director and curator at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, organized The Road to Nowhere?, examining photography that documents or personally comments on the turmoil of war and economy that has crept into the first decade of the twenty-first century.
Greg Stimac, Concord, Vermont (Mowing the Lawn)," 2006
Aaron Schuman, photographer, editor, writer, and curator, saw parallels between the keen eye of Walker Evans, who photographed the United States of the early twentieth century, and those of contemporary photographers working today. His exhibit for FotoFest, Whatever was Splendid: New American Photographs, is partially named for a quote by Lincoln Kirtstein, from his essay written for the significant 1938 Walker Evans monograph American Photographs.
RJ Shaughnessy, La Brea Ave., 2008
Gilbert Vicario, curator of the Des Moines Art Center, whose show spans three spaces, created Medianation: Performing for the Screen, exploring the ways in which a selection of contemporary artists have manipulated traditional modes of communication and media such as television, internet, radio, film, photography, and even the U.S. postal service, to express their artistic vision.
Emilio Chapela, Digital Degradation, 2009
Our exhibit, Assembly, focuses on eight photographers who have developed their practice within the last ten years here in Los Angeles. As curator Edward Robinson remarks in the essay accompanying the show, "the cultural history of Southern California has been one of ongoing dialogue between utopian ideals and apocalyptic apprehension—the boosterism of the 'end of the road' state, heralded for its promise and abundance, in tension with concerns about the fragility of its natural and built environment." Take a look at how this is manifested by the artists included in Assembly, below. Thanks to a generous gift provided by LACMA's Photographic Arts Council, each of these photographers are now represented in the museum's permanent collection.
Nicole Belle, Untitled, 2008
Nicole Belle's series, Apartment, features photographs of moments of absurd choreographed action and unusual elements of her home that happily convolute the typical and normative trappings of domestic life.
Matthew Brandt, Lake Hollywood CA 3, 2008
Among other unconventional photographic processes used, Matthew Brandt's photographs of lakes and reservoirs are soaked in water Brandt collects from the location pictured. After weeks or more, the prints settle into a brilliant and beautiful spectrum of decay.
Peter Holzhauer, Balloons, 2008
Peter Holzhauer's approach is that of a visual anthropologist, surveying the city and countryside for signs of what has become of us—the accidental, the presence of well-intentioned but unfortunate urban planning, and the misplacement and even defacement of the natural setting.
Whitney Hubbs, photos from the series Day for Night, 2008-2009
Whitney Hubbs captures moments from her life, creating a world of memories so precious that she has remarked they feel stolen.
Matt Lipps, Untitled (bedroom), 2008
Matt Lipps' photographs shown in Assembly are from a series that marries archival images of his childhood home with striking cutouts of National Park vistas by Ansel Adams. The images, which serve as family portraits to Lipps, are further unified by swaths of hues inspired by Benjamin Moore color schemes.
Joey Lehman Morris, Black Mountain Detachment: Two Nights, From Waxing to Fully Stated, 2008
Joey Lehman Morris has been photographing the Southern Californian landscape and creating objects that are oftentimes as sculptural as they are photographic, using the photographic medium and its presentation to introduce the viewer to new ways of viewing both natural and man-altered environments.
Asha Schechter, Picture 04, 2009
Asha Schechter composes the images in Assembly with his own open-ended curation. Using imagery collected from a variety of sources, Schechter arranges groupings of photographs against colored backgrounds that emphasize the physicality of the photographic print, while exploring the nostalgia and meaning of making images and presupposing the widespread future of digital influence on photography.
Augusta Wood, family to go through, 2006
Augusta Wood focuses her attention on images that include phrases collected and meditated upon as well as images from her past that she brings to life by projecting them on space where the images originated.

"The physician is nature's assistant." Galen, 2nd century AD
Natural medicine, including herbs, diet, and other non-invasive therapies, is particularly appropriate in treating the underlying causes and symptoms associated with depression. Unlike conventional, allopathic medicine, natural medicine works in a gradual manner, is humanly comprehensible and may even be considered to be ordinary-- like ordinary magic. Natural medicine is consistent with the rhythms of nature and how nature is organized. Historically, there has been a commitment in medicine to do no harm, and when you are using natural substances such as herbs and working at a gradual pace, the likelihood of doing harm is almost completely eliminated.
Underlying Causes and Symptoms of Depression: A Mirror Image
A fundamental principle of natural medicine is that physiology and psychology are intimately related. In examining the medical literature it is fascinating to note that the symptoms and causes of depression can often be interchanged. For example, some of the symptoms associated with depression include chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, excessive sleep, loss of appetite, excessive appetite, headaches, backaches, joint aches, bowel disorders, as well as feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy. On the other hand, the causes of depression read like a mirror image: tension, stress, chronic headaches, chronic stomach aches, bowel problems, chronic nutritional deficiencies, chronic allergies, chronic physical disorder, poor diet, excessive sugar and caffeine intake, endocrine disorder such as hypothyroidism, endometriosis, lack of sun exposure, and assaults from the environment such as toxic metals.
In effectively dealing with the underlying causes and symptoms of depression, I have found that it is important to discover the individual's weakest physical link. The weakness may be a nutritional problem, undiagnosed hypothyroidism, chronic yeast or viral infection, intestinal parasites, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), or something as basic as dehydration (often seen in professional athletes) or lack of potassium. I try to determine these potential problems before prescribing dietary changes, exercise, nutritional supplements, homeopathy and/or specific herbs or herbal combinations for treating depression or its associated symptoms. The following are some examples of common causes I have observed to be underlying my patients' depression.
Hypothyroidism, for example, often has numerous associated mental symptoms. Patients suffering from hypothyroidism very often feel like they cannot cope, life is simply too much, and find themselves withdrawing from the world. Typically, patients experience a tremendous mental shift after appropriate treatment for hypothyroidism.
To test yourself at home for an underactive thyroid, keep a thermometer by your bed at night. In the morning, when you wake, immediately place the thermometer under your arm and hold it there for fifteen minutes. This may seem like an eternity but it is important to be still. Any motion may give a false reading. Do this for five consecutive days. If the reading is consistently 97.6 degrees Fahrenheit or lower you may have an underactive thyroid and you should consult with your physician.
There are certain nutrients, which are used to enhance thyroid activity. Kelp, seaweed, which contains iodine, is often useful in supplementing thyroid function. L-tyrosine, an amino acid, is also effective in stimulating proper thyroid function and fighting depression associated with depressed thyroid function. A naturally oriented health care practitioner may also prescribe a thyroid glandular. The B vitamins are also very important to improve energy and assure proper glandular function.
Adaptogenic herbs, specifically Eleutherococcus senticosus, better known as Siberian ginseng may also be considered in cases of hypothyroidism. This herb helps to regulate the entire endocrine system, including the thyroid and adrenal function.
As for dietary considerations, sufficient protein is necessary for hypothyroidism. Raw cruciferous vegetables, such as: broccoli, cabbage, kale may suppress thyroid function. These vegetables in their cooked state are not problematic but should only be used in small amounts in their raw state.
Our diet also has a tremendous impact on our moods. Since the dawn of civilization people have used food to alter their mood. Alcohol, sugar and stimulants such as coffee have been utilized for this purpose. Until recently scientists were not convinced of the effect of food upon mood, but in the last ten years they have finally acknowledged that food can affect how you feel, think and act. I find that poor dietary habits are not the exception but the rule among my depressed patients. Most people suffering from depression usually have marginal nutritional deficiencies associated with changes in mood and even altered brain waves, including deficiencies in B vitamins, selenium, potassium and amino acids. Memory loss, confusion, depression, irritability, and anxiety have all been linked to dietary indiscretion.
Potassium deficiency, in particular, is another common cause of depression. Women who are particularly low in potassium can have acute episodes of depression accompanied by fits of crying with no seeming cause. One woman who came into see me began crying within sixty seconds although we were not discussing anything particularly emotional. When I asked her what was wrong, she said, "I don't know. All of a sudden I just start crying." I gave her an old naturopathic remedy, apple cider vinegar, honey and water, and within a few sips, she started calming down and feeling better. She took that simple formula with her meals for a month or so and the crying stopped.
L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid is the precursor to one of the most important neurotransmitters, serotonin. Tryptophan helps to raise the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is needed to regulate sleep, secrete pituitary hormones, and perceive pain. Serotonin is most often abnormally low in depressed people. Tryptophan is found abundantly in milk and turkey. After a carbohydrate rich meal, insulin causes competing amino acids such as tyrosine, phenylalanine, and leucine, to leave the blood and enter muscle tissue. With fewer amino acids vying for entry, more tryptophan enters the brain and is converted into serotonin. Increased serotonin levels results in increased relaxation and drowsiness. You can try this out on yourself. Try eating a meal high in carbohydrates, pasta with a fruit dessert and see how you feel compared with a high protein lunch, fish with vegetable.
Eating higher protein meals will increase the amount of the amino acid tyrosine in the blood. Through research it has been demonstrated that for tyrosine to be effective therapeutically, it is best taken in supplement form with a small amount of carbohydrate. The carbohydrate stimulates insulin secretion, which reduces the levels of other competing amino acids, and allows easy entry of tyrosine into the brain. An increase in brain tyrosine will ultimately increase the levels of catecholamines, particularly dopamine. Clinically, tyrosine is effective in treating depression associated with fatigue due to low normal thyroid and or adrenal function.
Another common example involves intestinal parasites. Feelings of gloom and doom are often associated with a serious infestation of intestinal parasites. Patients suffering from parasites often feel that their world is coming to an end. I once treated a couple who had contracted an unusual disease while traveling in Africa. They were diagnosed at UCLA Medical Center with Ross River Disease. The man was also diagnosed with an unusual intestinal parasite. Both of them were survivalists who were extremely paranoid and felt like the world was coming to an end. They periodically traveled to the wilderness with their guns and camouflage gear. After treatment with an herbal milk thistle extract combination and two nutritional supplements, lipoic acid and pine bark extract, their physiology improved and the digestive symptoms associated with the parasitic infection cleared up they had an extreme shift in the mental outlook. Soon they began to store their guns in the basement, made fewer trips to the wilderness, and the woman decided to burn the camouflage gear.
Candidiasis, a chronic yeast infection of candida albicans, also has associated mental symptoms including feelings of disorientation, confusion and being out of control. On the physical level one may experience joint and muscle ache and pain, as well as bodily pain that is not associated with any apparent cause. Several years ago a professional wrestler came to see me suffering from apparent arthritis and depression. He had been around the medical block, seeing orthopedic surgeons, internists, and endocrinologists. Finally, he came to my office bringing in stacks of blood work. I examined him and gave him an extensive questionnaire. Nearly two-thirds of his answers pointed to candidiasis and one of his primary symptoms was depression. We began treating him with pau d'arco, bifidus, a two thousand year old Chinese herbal formula for joint pain and a series of homeopathics. Within ten weeks all of his pain disappeared and his depression lifted simultaneously.
Herbal Medicine: A Natural Approach
Herbal medicine has a long and respected history, and holds a valuable place in the treatment of mental/emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression as well as the vast majority of health problems. Utilizing the leaves, flowers, stems, berries, and roots of plants to both prevent and treat illness, herbal medicine not only helps to alleviate symptoms but also helps treat the underlying problem, as well as strengthen the overall functioning of a particular organ or body system.
Throughout history, herbs have been used for medicinal purposes in traditional cultures worldwide. Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas all have a rich history of herbal healing. In China, authoritative texts on herbal medicine compiled over four thousand years ago are still in use today. Texts from the ancient cultures of India, Egypt, and Mesopotamia describe and illustrate the use of many medicinal plants. Ancient Ayurvedic medical treatises discuss herbs such as turmeric, gotu kola, neem, ashwaganda, and ginger, which are being researched today for their therapeutic properties. Traditional cultures in Europe prior to the Roman conquest also relied on herbs for medicine. In Europe, homegrown botanicals were the only medicines readily available from early Christian times through the Middle Ages.
The Rise of Modern Medicine and the Decline of Herbalism
As in Europe, the early American colonists relied upon herbs for medicine and this reliance continued until the early twentieth century. The first U.S. Pharmacopeia, published in 1820, included an authoritative listing of herbal drugs, with descriptions of their properties, uses, dosages, and tests of purity. Following periodic revisions, the U.S. Pharmacopeia became the legal standard for medical compounds in 1906.
In the early twentieth century, however, the science of pharmacology began to focus on capturing the patentable active properties of plants by identifying, isolating, extracting, and synthesizing individual plant components, rather than studying and utilizing the medicinal properties of the whole plant.
Pharmaceutical laboratories began to replace the herbal apothecaries as the providers of drugs protected by patents. The use of herbs in the United States, previously considered mainstream medical practice, began to be considered unconventional, unscientific and fell into relative obscurity. With the progression of modern medicine in the twentieth century, most physicians have come to rely on the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR), an extensive listing of chemically manufactured drugs, as opposed to the U.S. Pharmacopoeia with its reliance on herbal compounds.

Publication:Dragon (magazine)
Dragon is one of the two official magazines for source material for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game and associated products. TSR, Inc. originally launched the monthly printed magazine in 1976 to succeed the company's earlier publication, The Strategic Review. The final printed issue was #359 in September 2007.[1] [2] Shortly after the last print issue shipped in mid-August, 2007, Wizards of the Coast (part of Hasbro, Inc.), the publication's current intellectual property rightsholder, re-launched Dragon as an online Magazine, continuing on the numbering of the print edition.

Issue List and OGL Content[edit]
In 1975, TSR, Inc. began publishing The Strategic Review. At the time, roleplaying games were still seen as a sub-genre of the wargaming industry, and the magazine was designed not only to support Dungeons & Dragons and TSR's other games, but also to cover wargaming in general. In short order, however, the popularity and growth of Dungeons & Dragons made it clear that the game had not only separated itself from its wargaming origins, but had launched an entirely new industry unto itself.
TSR cancelled The Strategic Review after only seven issues the following year, and replaced it with two magazines, Little Wars, which covered miniature wargaming, and The Dragon, which covered role playing games. After 13 issues, Little Wars ceased publication and its content was folded into The Dragon (starting with issue 24)[3]. The Dragon later changed its name to Dragon Magazine and finally simply Dragon.
Dragon was the launching point for a number of rules, spells, monsters, magic items, and other ideas that were incorporated into later official products of the Dungeons & Dragons game. A prime example is the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, which first became known through a series of Dragon articles in the 1980s by its creator Ed Greenwood. It subsequently went on to become one of the primary campaign 'worlds' for official Dungeons and Dragons products, starting in 1987.
Wizards of the Coast purchased TSR and its intellectual properties, including Dragon in 1997. Production was then transferred from Wisconsin to Washington state. In 1999, Wizards of the Coast was itself purchased by Hasbro, Inc.
In 1999 a compilation of the first 250 issues was released in PDF format with a special viewer including an article and keyword search in CD-ROM format. Also included were the 7 issues of The Strategic Review. This compilation is known as the software title Dragon Magazine Archive. Because of a conflict regarding the reprint rights for the Knights of the Dinner Table comic strips printed in Dragon for many years, the Dragon Magazine Archive is out of print and very hard to find.
In 2002, Paizo Publishing acquired the rights to publish both Dragon and Dungeon under license from Wizards of the Coast. It tied Dragon more closely to Dungeon by including articles supporting and promoting its major multi-issue adventures such as the Age of Worms and Savage Tide. Class Acts, monthly one or two-page articles offering ideas for developing specific character classes, were also introduced by Paizo.
On April 18, 2007, Wizards of the Coast announced that it would not be renewing Paizo's licenses for Dragon and Dungeon. Scott Rouse, Senior Brand Manager of Dungeons & Dragons at Wizards of the Coast stated, "Today the internet is where people go to get this kind of information. By moving to an online model we are using a delivery system that broadens our reach to fans around the world." [1] Paizo published the last print editions of Dragon and Dungeon magazines for September 2007.
In August 2007, Wizards of the Coast announced their plans for the 4th edition of the Dungeons and Dragons game. Part of this announcement was the "D&D Insider" subscriber content on their Gleemax site that would include the new, online versions of both Dungeon and Dragon magazines along with tools for building campaigns, managing character sheets and other features.[4]
Although Dragon provided coverage of fantasy and roleplaying games in general, it became primarily a house organ for role-playing games produced by TSR (or more recently Wizards of the Coast), with a particular focus on D&D. Its coverage of games created by other companies is often peripheral.
Most of the magazine's articles provided supplementary material for D&D including new prestige classes, races, monsters and many other subjects that could be used to enhance a Dungeons & Dragons game. A popular long-running column Sage Advice offered official answers to Dungeons & Dragons questions submitted by players. Other articles provided tips and suggestions for both players and Dungeon Masters (DMs). It sometimes discussed meta-gaming issues, such as getting along with fellow players. At the end of its print run, the magazine also featured four comics; Nodwick, Dork Tower, Zogonia and The Order of the Stick. Previous popular gamer-oriented comic strips include Knights of the Dinner Table, Fineous Fingers, What's New with Phil & Dixie, Wormy, Yamara and SnarfQuest.
Many of the gaming world's most famous writers, game designers and artists have published work in the magazine. Through most of its run the magazine frequently published fantasy fiction, either short stories or novel excerpts. After the 1990s, the appearance of fiction stories became relatively rare. One late example was issue #305's featured excerpt from George R.R. Martin's later Hugo-nominated novel A Feast for Crows.
A regular feature of Dragon for many years was its "Ecology of ..." articles as discussed by the fictional sage Elminster, in which a particular D&D monster received an in-depth review, explaining how it found food, reproduced, and so forth. Under Paizo's tenure such ecology articles became heavier in "crunch" (game mechanics) as opposed to "fluff" (narrative and description) than previously. [5]
In the early 1980s, almost every issue of Dragon would contain a role playing adventure, a simple board game, or some kind of special game supplement (such as a cardboard cut-out castle). For example, Tom Wham's Snit's Revenge, The Awful Green Things From Outer Space and File 13. These bonus features become infrequent after the 1986 launch of Dungeon magazine, which published several new Dungeons & Dragons adventures in each issue.
During the 1980s, after TSR had purchased Simulations Publications Inc., the magazine had a subsection called Ares Magazine, based on SPI's magazine of that name, specializing in science fiction and superhero role playing games, with pages marked by a gray border. The content included write-ups for various characters of the Marvel Universe for TSR's Marvel Super-Heroes.

On January 16, HP will hold an official ribbon-cutting to open its newly remodeled customer meeting center at its headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif.
This building is already home to CEO Meg Whitman, who famously ditched her cushy office in favor of an ordinary cubicle. reports Businessweek.
At the center: an oak tree planted in the 1960s by Hewlett-Packard founders William Hewlett and David Packard, who long ago planted HP's roots in Palo Alto, near Stanford University.
Construction for the new building took a year, almost as long as Whitman has been CEO. And it's been another year of turmoil for the iconic Silicon Valley tech company.
"Without overstating things, this is symbolic of the rebirth of Hewlett-Packard anchored by the foundation of that oak tree," Whitman told Businessweek.
HP sent Business Insider some photos of the new building.

Expectations for a football team to be good can do one of two things to that team. It can fuel their fire and lift their level of play, or it can weigh heavy on their shoulders and crack them under the pressure.
GREENVILLE � Expectations for a football team to be good can do one of two things to that team. It can fuel their fire and lift their level of play, or it can weigh heavy on their shoulders and crack them under the pressure.
The East Carolina Pirates are expecting the former of those two outcomes this season.
The Conference USA coaches selected the Pirates to win the East Division, with Tulsa winning the West.
Four ECU players were selected to the Preseason All-Conference-USA Team.
Senior running back Vintavious Cooper, junior wide receiver Justin Hardy and senior offensive lineman Will Simmons were selected to the First Team All-Conference USA Offense, while senior linebacker Derrell Johnson made the First Team Defense.
�To me, we are expected to be good at East Carolina,� ECU head coach Ruffin McNeill said. �When I came in as head coach, because of what had been done before me here, the bar was already raised. I think the large expectations will lift us and not weigh heavy because this group of guys truly know what we mean by attacking the process of getting better everyday.�
ECU is a pass-heavy offensive team and, as is the case with any football team, success often begins with the player receiving the football from between the center�s legs � quarterback Shane Carden.
Carden took the conference by storm last season throwing for 3,116 yards and posting a 66.1 completion percentage. He also threw 23 touchdown passes to just 10 interceptions.
�I take it as respect from the league, coaches, papers and reporters that they are coming out and expecting us to win the East,� Carden said. �Last year, people thought we were going to be bad and we almost won the East.�
Carden said that coming into his junior season, he is a better quarterback because of the offseason work he has put in studying film and improving his footwork in the pocket.
Keeping on the offensive, senior tailback Vintavious Cooper is back in good graces with the Pirates' coaching staff after serving a suspension throughout the spring.
He was the team�s leading rusher a season ago with 1,049 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground.
�I am extremely excited for this season to start. It feels like forever for me since I have been on the field with my boys,� Cooper said. �Everybody has welcomed me back with open arms and forgiven me for what I have done. I can�t apologize enough about it, but I have grown up and am ready to move on.�
If a talented quarterback and running back aren�t enough firepower, the Pirates� biggest accumulation of football TNT resides in the wide receiving corps.
The trio of Hardy, Danny Webster and Lance Ray demands attention from the opposition.
Hardy was realistic, yet confident, about his team�s preseason prognosis.
�Being picked to win the East in Conference USA is great and all, but we still have to go out there and do it,� Hardy said.
ECU received 11 first-place votes in the East Division, ahead of Marshall (2 votes) and Middle Tennessee (1). Tulsa received all 14 first-place votes in the West Division.
The Pirates host the Golden Hurricane on Nov. 9 and open the season Aug. 31 at home versus Old Dominion.
With a healthy and loaded offensive arsenal in place and an improved defense, the Pirates are ready to light up the Dowdy-Ficklen scoreboard when it once again comes time to �Hoist the Colors.�

text: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 IOM: 'Healthy Behaviors' a Priority for Healthy People 2020 Yesterday, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a report singling out 12 topic areas and indicators as immediate, major health concerns that should be monitored and 24 objectives that warrant priority attention in the implementation of Healthy People 2020. Included in IOM's recommendations is "healthy behaviors," a topic area that includes a specific objective of importance to physical therapists (PTs) -- increasing the proportion of adults who meet current federal physical activity guidelines for aerobic physical activity and for muscle-strengthening activity. The remaining 11 indicators are access to care, chronic disease, quality of health care services, injury, environmental determinants, social determinants, mental health, responsible sexual behavior, substance abuse, tobacco use, and healthy births. Healthy People 2020, US Department of Health and Human Services' master plan for improving the health of the American population over the next decade, covers 42 topics and nearly 600 objectives. PTs are specifically mentioned in "Older Adults" topic regarding efforts to increase the number of health care providers with geriatric certification. The inclusion of PTs was a direct result of APTA's interaction with Healthy People and official comments sent last year. IOM's report also updates and expands on the 10 leading health indicators that served as priorities for Healthy People 2010. The recommendations on what should be the priorities for the latest version of this decadal health plan reflect the consensus of a committee comprising population health experts, epidemiologists, health statisticians, and others. Indicators provide yardsticks that health experts and policymakers can use to measure progress, and objectives set out clear, concrete goals for improvements.
