TIMEOUT | MARK SULLIVAN TRULY INNOVATIVE INNOVATION IS ABOUT THE HIGHEST COMPLIMENT THAT CAN BE OFFERED IN business. So, let’s start out by giving credit to those who deserve it. With its Flyknit and Lunarglide product, Nike has brought incredible innovation to shoe design and manufacturing. The impact of those designs is evident in the collections of every athletic brand and many casual and dress lines, too. As it has many times over the past 30 years, Nike has dramatically changed how consumers think about their shoes. Apple is the other company that pundits refer- ence as true innovator and deservedly so. They’ve changed the way we buy and listen to music, the way we use our phones and, oh by the way, Apple created the tablet, a whole new category of prod- uct. And they have the best sales per square foot, $4500, of any retailer in the country. It’s been a remarkable run for both of these companies and they’ve lifted entire categories by their great work. They’ve drawn consumers into stores and they’ve set standards at which their competitors can take aim. But both admit that their innovation trains are Where do we turn slowing down and there’s not a lot in the pipeline for innovation and for the next few product cycles. So, where do we turn for innovation and inspi- inspiration in the ration in the shoe business in the coming year? I shoe business in actually like what Foot Locker is doing. Their new the coming year? flagship on West 34th Street in Manhattan is bold and – dare I say it – innovative. For those of you who have not seen it, these folks dramatically revamped a successful, productive store on one of the world’s top shopping streets. They have completely done away with the street level entrance and giant windows and replaced it with a discreet entrance and a second-floor layout that features brand boutiques from Puma and Adidas, along with special areas devoted to two of its own store layouts, House of Hoops and SIX:02. The layout and concept are dramatically different from its predecessor store, which looked like a gigantic Foot Locker with men’s shoes on one wall, women’s on the other and a bunch of T-shirts and socks in between. The old store was not bad, but this is Featuring Lynco® orthotic support way better. And credit to Foot Locker for breaking its old mold and trying something and memory foam cushioning different. The chain’s business is good; its stock price is up and Foot Locker has great for superior comfort buzz. When you have 3500 stores and $7 billion in revenue, it’s tough to get buzz going, but it’s genuine and deserved. The new Foot Locker layout is easy and fun to shop. And that may be an even better compliment than saying it is innovative.

  • Creator's Letter Princess Francois, CC'11
    Introduction 1 Introduction Creator’s Letter Princess Francois, CC’11 Dear Charles Drew Members, Pulse was created specifically for you! The idea for creating this came after reading a similar book I received from my participation in the University of Pittsburgh’s Summer Academic Enrichment Program (SPAEP) in Summer 2009. I found the book incredibly resourceful and it served as a pre-med bible to me. My only criticism was that it was not entirely written by students. I later discovered a mini premed booklet written by students of the Harvard Pre-Med Society. An overachieving Columbian, I decided I would create one written by Columbia premeds, for Columbia premeds, combining the best aspects—depth and student perspective—of Pitt’s book and Harvard’s. In this endeavor, I have aspired to build upon Charles Drew’s diverse activities while complementing the usual guidance of Columbia’s Office of Pre-Professional Advising. The purpose of this book is to offer honest advice about how to survive (and conquer!) the intense pre-med curriculum at Columbia. The content of this book is broad but detailed in its presentation. In these pages, you will find topics such as how to pick a major, studying abroad, extracurriculars, summer research opportunities, the “gap year”, and much more. Here, students share personal stories, talking openly about mistakes they feel they made and what they might have done differently. Our motivations in sharing these stories are to pass on knowledge we hope might help you achieve the same success we want for ourselves – to become physicians with a purpose, to become physicians that pay it forward, with the first step of getting into medical school.

They will also go head-to-head with a mighty contingent of international athletes led by Mo Farah, past champions Abel Kirui and Dickson Chumba, 2017 runner-up Brigid Kosgei, and two- time third-place finisher and sub-2:20 runner Birhane Dibaba. “We are thrilled with this year’s overall elite field,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “There is an incredible amount of talent and momentum on the American women’s side, and Rupp is leading a resurgence on the men’s side. These athletes are going to put on quite a show in October, and they are going to keep alive Chicago’s legacy of supporting and showcasing top U.S. athletes.” American Men’s Field Elkanah Kibet surprised race commentators during his marathon debut at the 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon when he bolted to the front of the elite field with 22 miles to go and put a 15-second gap on the field. The chase pack caught him at mile nine, and many suspected that Kibet’s bold move would spell disaster in the later stages of the race.
