Style meets technology with Zegna Sport's new iJacket, below, a double-layered, waterproof shell with an inside pocket that accommodates an iPod. For easy use, the iPod is connected to a clear panel near the outside left cuff of the jacket that the wearer uses to control the iPod's functions without having to open the jacket or the inside pocket.

They may soon find out. The San Francisco Chronicle recently had 16 toys tested in a private lab. One rubber ducky contained the phthalate DEHP at 13 times San Francisco's allowed level. A teether contained another phthalate at five times the limit. Meanwhile, a rattle, two waterproof books and a doll contained BPA, which is prohibited by the city at any level.

What's more, all this takes place just an hour's drive from...
...electricity. Inspired by the Light Up the World Foundation, which promotes the use of energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs), Scott, now 31, traveled to India and in 2004 partnered with Amit Chugh to devise a market strategy for replacing the kerosene lamp. The result is the Mightylight, a waterproof, shockproof, LED lamp that can be used as a flashlight, reading lamp or ceiling fixture. Solar powered, capable of holding an eight-hour charge and designed to last 100,000 hours, the Mightylight is safer and more cost effective than kerosene lamps. Last November the pair began selling Mightylights...
