The study, by William Kerr of the Harvard Business School and William Lincoln of the University of Michigan, looked at fluctuations over the last 15 years in the number of immigrants admitted to the U.S. under the H-1B visa program, which governs immigration of highly skilled temporary workers. The scientists observed that when more H-1B visas are granted, the number of U.S. patent applications filed by people with Chinese and Indian names increased substantially in cities and firms dependent upon the program. Much of that increase can be attributed to H-1B immigrants........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/7-2010/quotient-with-chic-clutch-bags.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/7-2010/quotient-with-chic-clutch-bags.html Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:15:38 GMT Clutch bags have been in style for more than half a century now and their popularity is far from diminishing.

In the study of more than 1,000 unmarried young adults between the ages of 18 and 23, Wake Forest Professor of Sociology Robin Simon challenges the long-held assumption that women are more vulnerable to the emotional rollercoaster of relationships. Even though men sometimes try to present a tough face, unhappy romances take a greater emotional toll on men than women, Simon says. They just express their distress differently than women........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2010/americans-want-self-respect.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2010/americans-want-self-respect.html Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:11:30 GMT Americans want self-respect, and that desire has risen significantly in the last two decades, say marketing scientists at the University of Oregon. Meanwhile, the needs for both security and a sense of belonging have declined in the last 30 years. In the world of marketing and advertising, the findings indicate that people have shifted from a desire of gaining what they don't have (deficit values) to strengthening what they may already have (excess values). That conclusion -- based on data compiled from web-based surveys in 2007 and in comparison to nearly identical surveys conducted in 1976 and 1986 -- was published in a recent issue of the Journal of Advertising Research........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/5-2010/when-it-comes-to-security-think-natural.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/5-2010/when-it-comes-to-security-think-natural.html Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:11:30 GMT Security systems could be more effective if officials looked at how organisms deal with threats in the natural world, University of Arizona scientists suggest in the May 20 edition of the journal Nature The authors are working with security and disaster management officials to help put some of their recommendations such as decentralizing forces and forming alliances into practice........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/3-2010/why-golf-awards-should-be-chosen-with-care.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/3-2010/why-golf-awards-should-be-chosen-with-care.html Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:11:30 GMT Golf is one of those sports that have gained a reputation for being played by gentlemen. It is also one of a handful of sporting activities that requires as much patience as skill. Therefore, a winner in a game of golf deserves as exquisitely built a trophy as sportspersons from other arenas, if not better. And this is why golf awards have to be chosen with selective care and a balanced judgment. ....... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/2-2010/information-is-good-but-it-can-also-steal-your-soul.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/2-2010/information-is-good-but-it-can-also-steal-your-soul.html Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:11:30 GMT Seth Godin had a blog post a week or so ago about data - and how everyone wants more data, so they can prove their point. ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/2-2010/getting-the-best-prices-on-cheap.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/2-2010/getting-the-best-prices-on-cheap.html Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:11:03 GMT Most people nowadays plan and book their entire vacation online.
