Massachusetts Maintains Lead as Nation’s Top State in Technology and Science, According to Milken Institute
Kevin Klowden
Welcome to a Big Picture edition of Total Picture Radio with Peter Clayton. Kevin Klowden is a Managing Economist at the Milken Institute. His research focuses on the roles played in regional economics by demographic and spatial factors including distribution of resources, business locations and movement of labor, and how these factors are affected by and interact with public policy. Kevin participated in the recent Milken Institute report which lists Massachusetts as being in "the best position of any state to achieve high-quality economic growth thanks to its vast array of technology and science assets."
According to the report, regional competition for technology industries has increased since the last release of the Index in 2004. Not only are states vying with each other for human capital and resources, but countries like China and India are increasing the competition on a global level.

Dr. Kevin Freiberg
No, this is not a Angelina Jolie film. However, if you're surrounded by cube-dwelling drones and looking for an escape, we met a husband and wife team that just might be able to help you: Kevin and Jackie Freiberg. And here's the good part. You don't have to crash cars, shoot the wings off of flies, jump out of the window of your office building, or jump off of trains traveling 1000 miles an hour in slow motion. Nope. All you gotta do is invest a little time to listen to this interview and buy a book:
Boom! is an invitation to join a revolution of people who refuse to be victims and choose to take charge of their lives at work! According to Kevin, you can become a person who is truly indispensable to your family, to your business and to the world at large-or you can be a person who is hardly missed. Its your choice!

Nip - Tuck. Unsettling Facts About the Impact of physical attractiveness in the Workplace
Dr. Gordon Patzer
I first learned about Gordon Patzer's new book, "Looks, Why They Matter More Than You Ever Imagined" reading Penelope Trunk's blog - a posting titled "Plastic Surgery is the Next Must Have Career Tool. Maybe." What Dr. Patzer has documented are facts we've all assumed - but didn't really want to believe. Well, guess what? All of those assumptions are true. Short? Overweight? Less than good looking? It's cost you. From day one.
Dr. Patzer has devoted the last 30 years to investigating this unsettling phenomenon for both women and men, and how it touches every part of our lives. His book reveals not only its impact on romance, but also on family dynamics, performance in school, career, courtroom proceedings, politics and government. Looks is the first book to explore how the power of beauty affects both sexes and how the rise of reality TV shows, cosmetic surgery, and celebrity culture have contributed to our overall obsession with being beautiful.

And here's a sample of a recent post titled: The hardest part of my job is that everyone lies about parenting "Take a look at the spread in People magazine of Jennifer Lopez and her one-month-old twins. The photos are so elegant that at first I thought it was a parody. But in fact, it is mommy porn: the visual fantasy of what being a working mom could be."
