[edit] Keeping it current

I can't understand how sentences like this

• For the last ten years, U.S. News & World Report has ranked the Northern Illinois University College of Business as among the best business colleges in the country. In 2006, the NIU College of Business continued to be ranked as among the nation's best by making the listing of "America's Best Colleges and Programs" (2007).

can survive. I mean, when did this supposed ten year period begin? Is this current or dated? Someone who knows the dates needs to change it to something like this:

• Since 1997, U.S. News & World Report has ranked the Northern Illinois University College of Business as among the best business colleges in the country. In 2006, the NIU College of Business continued to be ranked as among the nation's best by making the listing of "America's Best Colleges and Programs" (2007).
