Calvin Klein Collection men’s creative Director Italo Zucchelli used foam to make trousers, a sport coat, and a puffy jacket. Since men are more reluctant than women to try new styles and fashions, unusual fabrics are “one of the few tools you can use to explore new territory,”Mr. Zucchelli says.[Pause]FourteenMan: Sugar smoothes us when we’re stressed —or at least it calms down stressed-out rats, which are good models for stress in people. But before you race to the vending machine with a license to indulge, know that a little sugar may smoothe rattled nerves, but too much will backfire, playing moody havoc withyour blood sugar. We crave bread and other carbohydrates when we’re down. Carbohydrates raise levels of the feel-good brain chemical substance, which lifts our spirits. Think of whole-wheat bread and other whole-grain carbohydrates, they also stabilize blood sugar levels —unlike refined grains.[Pause]FifteenWoman: People didn’t discuss and plan industrialization until the 1880s. By the time we finish building cities for the additional 2 billion people who will become urbanites over the next 25 years, we’ll have created a world that looks and works nothing like the cities we know. Our individual cities are already merging into hundred-mile-long agglomerations, crossing municipal, state and national borders. Soon, they will be connected completely into a mega-geography beyond our wildest mega-city imaginings, whose networks and systems shape 21st century markets and politics, as well as the flow of materials, energy and species. [Pause]SixteenMan: The lingering pain of 2008’s market meltdown has investors understood the uneasiness about getting back into stocks. They seek the safety and yield of fixed income, but they don’t want to miss a rebound in equities. Convertibles may be the answer. Usually they provide more income than stocks. As the name implies, they can be, sometimes must be, exchanged into common equity. However, if the market should nose-dive again, these hybrid securities won’t fall as much as the company’s stock.[Pause]SeventeenWoman: Having children instilled not only maternal instincts, but also business instincts as well. Many of the skills needed to run a family also apply to the business world, including scheduling, budgeting, and management. Many moms are taking those skills and launching new businesses. This is especially true in Hollywood, where no one is just an actress or just a singer. And aside from the typical clothing, jewelry, and perfume lines, there are some creative ventures headed by entrepreneurial moms or mompreneurs like bedding collections, kid’s furniture, and even baby supply vending machines.You will hear five short recordings.

With oil peaking at $147 a barrel last summer, biodiesel still made economic sense for some customers. Biodiesel didn’t look bad by comparison. But then petroleum prices tanked, widening the price gap and making the green option uneconomical even for the most diehard environmentalists. The recession has damped the demand for energy overall and made it nearly impossible for fledging clean-fuel ventures, including biodiesel makers, to get credit expanded. [Pause]NineteenWoman: With unemployment at 8.5% in March, up from 5.1% a year earlier, it’s difficult for anyone to land a new position. But older employees and ex-employees are up against stereotypes that paint them as undesirable: They are reluctant to learn new skills and technology: they have one foot out the door: they’re overqualified: they demand higher salaries than their younger colleagues. “We’re always given lip service with the idea that experience is valued, but I don’t know if we’ve ever really seen it,”says Laurie McCann, a senior attorney for the American Association of Retired Persons.[Pause]TwentyMan: Antiquorum, the world’s largest leading antique watch auction house, kicks off the Geneva auctions on the weekend of May 9th and 10th followed by Sotheby’s on May 10 and Christie’s on May 11. Watch specialist Aurel Bacs of Christie’s says the auction house is hoping to balance the “demanding expectations of buyers and sellers” in the current economic climate by holding a smaller auction. Sotheby’s watch specialist Geoffroy Ader says the previously owned but relatively new watches are “just like the car market” in that buyers might pick them up for half their price in the shops.[Pause]Twenty-oneWoman: Almost fifteen years after the advent of e-commerce, it is interesting to take stock of how its market leaders have progressed. All the pioneers are stepping in each other’s toes. For instance, Amazon’s logical progression will inevitably lead into its much smaller DVD rental rival’s territory: Amazon has already squarely in eBay’s business. Significant acquisitions are coming and opportunities are still plenty.[Pause]Twenty-twoMan: Many well-heeled Chinese shoppers are spending freely during the global economic crisis. High-end Designers and luxury retailers thatthrive on such extravagance hope that China’s growing luxury-seeking population will cushion them against the collapse in demand in other countries. Fueled by a three-decade-old economic boom that creates still-growing urban elite, China’s appetite for luxury goods is surviving the sharpest global economic slump since 1930s.You will hear another five short recordings.

But that trend may be ebbing, with potentially harmful effects on futuregrowth in American innovation. Mr. Edison is here with us. Man: Grace, it’s great to be here. Woman: What led to your interest in this area? Man: In the late 1990s, I worked with a large Korean chaebol, a South Korean business conglomerate, on a spin-off venture to commercialize a wireless telecom technology invented by a Korean entrepreneur living in Silicon Valley. I was impressed during this project with both the importance of foreign-born scientists and entrepreneurs for U.S. technology formation, and the close ties that some of these expatriates maintained with their home countries. Woman: For the Korean inventor, his home country was clearly his default choice when looking for a partner. Man: Right. As Silicon Valley is a special place on many dimensions, I sought to characterize how well this case study was generalized to other cities, industries, and ethnic groups. Woman: Your study used a unique name-matching technique to identify ethnic patterns. Why did you choose this method? Man: This project employs the names on U.S. patents to determine probable ethnicities of the inventors. For example, inventors with the surnames Wang and Ming are more likely Chinese than Hispanic. Woman: What trends did your findings reveal? Man: The most striking trend is the strong growth in Chinese inventors’ contributions to U.S. innovation building from under 2 percent of U.S. domestic inventors in 1975 to over 8 percent today. Indian inventors also rise dramatically during this 30-year period, to almost 5 percent in 2000, before slightly declining thereafter. During this period, English and European contributions have declined somewhat in magnitude. Woman: Is there a direct or indirect impact on the U.S. workforce or economy? Man: Immigrants are a strong force for U.S. technology development through their quantity and quality.They account for nearly 50 percent of our science and engineering doctorates, while being just over 10 percent of the overall U.S. workforce. Woman: In terms of quality, immigrants have made exceptional contributions at the very top, for example, in terms of Nobel Prize.Man: These contributions are an overall advantage to U.S. innovation, but more research is required to characterize the details and mechanisms, including important issues such as the impact for native scientists and engineers.Woman: Which industries are the patents focusing on? Are they concentrating on a specific industry or a business type?Man: Inventors can file for patents in many technology fields, ranging from chemicals and drugs to computer software and agricultural machinery. Immigrant contributions are especially strong in high-tech fields compared with more traditional applications like mechanical patents.Woman: Your data shows the ethnic composition of U.S. scientists and engineers undergo a significant transformation, with contributions of Chinese and Indian scientists to U.S. technology formation leveling off after 2000 and, in the case of India, declining. What accounts for this trend, and what are the potential ramifications for U.S. technology formation in the future?Man: Explaining these trends and their long-term implications will be a central theme of my future research.A couple of factors are likely to play important roles. The first is recent U.S. immigration restrictions following 9.11 which resuets in the reduction in the number of H1-B visas available for temporary, high-skilled workers. Secondly, both India and China have become more attractive places for technology development and entrepreneurship, leading to less initial migration to the United States and greaterreturning migration.Woman: Any other factors?Man: Yes, more explanations may also exist. For example, stronger relative growth of innovation in technology fields did not employ as many Chinese or Indian inventors. Woman: What’s your forecast on this trend? Man: Only with a complete characterization of these mechanisms can we begin to forecast future implications with accuracy.
