For this week’s politics section in Bloomberg Businessweek, I helped put together a graphic about pieces of legislation introduced in Congress just for show.

I spent some time working behind the scenes to help put together this package on top-performing companies in the S&P 500 that’s in this week’s Bloomberg Businessweek. The great work of our designers, who had a four-page spread to play with, isn’t fully reflected online, so you should go buy the magazine to get the full experience.

Also: Today on Businessweek.com, a look back at Obama’s year-old effort to cut red tape, and why it isn’t as simple as he makes it sound.

In this week’s Bloomberg Businessweek, my story on Ginger.io, a startup that uses mobile phone data to tell when people aren’t feeling well.

Today on Bloomberg.com: my story about two new California laws designed for socially responsible businesses. Outdoor gear maker Patagonia is testing one, known as the benefit corporation. The other, called the flexible purpose corporation, became law at the same time, and there’s a surprising amount of conflict between the competing visions of the future for sustainable companies.

I covered the early efforts to pass laws like these in Businessweek back in 2010.

This week on Bloomberg.com, my profile of Julie Silver, a Harvard rehab physician and breast cancer survivor whose startup trains healthcare providers to rehabilitate cancer patients. When I started reporting this, I was surprised to learn most cancer survivors get very little rehab care, the kind of therapies that are standard for people after strokes, heart attacks, or traumatic injuries. For a deeper dive into the problem, read this piece from Kaiser Health News and the Washington Post.

Today on Businessweek.com, a look inside the business of mail order food, an American holiday tradition.

This week on Bloomberg.com: how EagleView uses aerial photography and software to measure rooftop dimensions remotely.

In this week’s Bloomberg Businessweek, my story on how Elizabeth Hausler and Build Change are teaching earthquake survivors in Haiti and Indonesia to rebuild with stronger, more sustainable methods, and challenging the way a lot of post-disaster aid groups work.

Also this week, a look at Newt Gingrich’s various business, nonprofit, political, and literary interests. (Click on the picture on the right to see the graphic as it ran in the magazine.)

In this week’s Bloomberg Businessweek:

Some more of our music biz package, in print now.

An interview with Freada Kapor Klein of the Level Playing Field Institute about how hidden bias in Silicon Valley keeps the startup world less than diverse.

A graphic showing how tech companies’ valuations on the private market are outpacing broader stock values.

And another graphic explaining proposed changes to securities laws to make crowdfunding easier.

Today on Bloomberg.com, how Bandcamp powers indie music sales and is vying to fill the vacuum left when fans abandoned Myspace. We also have a graphic showing how Sufjan Stevens sold more than 10,000 records on Bandcamp in one weekend. It’s part of our special report on selling music in the digital age.
