Yesterday, at one of the morning staff meetings, a CNBC producer told of how his son had an adjustable rate mortgage that actually, thanks to today's low interest rates, adjusted down, saving him hundreds of dollars on his monthly payment. Well all of a sudden everyone wanted to know if this would mean a shot in the arm to the economy, with all these supposedly troubled adjustable rate mortgages adjusting down instead of up.
As usual, by the middle of the day, I get bored with talking about the headline housing number du jour, and I start pondering some of the numbers that never make it into the general news stream. Today I'm looking at P.4 of the Commerce Dept.'s report on "New Home Sales in July." I'm wondering why sales of homes "Not started" (i.e. still empty lots) rose 33 percent month to month, while sales of "Completed" homes fell 6 percent.
For the first time in three years, the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index rose quarter to quarter, 2.9 percent, although it's still down nearly 15 percent year over year.
Some really startling numbers today from Fitch Ratings on delinquency "cure rates." That's the percentage of delinquent loans returning to a current payment status each month. "Cure rates have declined from an average of 45 percent during 2000-2006 to the currently level of 6.6 percent," according to today's report titled, "Delinquency Cure Rates Worsening for U.S. Prime RMBS."
The headline in today's big Q2 Delinquency Survey from the Mortgage Bankers Association is that the face of foreclosure is changing from subprime to prime.
While confidence among the nation's home builders appears to be edging up ever-so-cautiously, according to the National Association of Home Builders' monthly sentiment survey, one of the biggest headwinds to the builders now is credit.

english rose Pieced Tank Top 1 1
Beautiful top Very pretty top but the fit is very loose and there's no description of that. I was disappointed because I ordered it in my size and it was probably two times larger than the size that I ordered it in.Had that been mentioned in the description I would've ordered an extra small and it might fit.

Full text not currently available from Enlighten.
Robustness concepts are discussed in the context of helicopter system identification and model validation. Classification of robustness issues is proposed in terms of experimental design aspects, identification methods, model structure estimation, parameter estimation and overall robustness of a complete mathematical model developed using system identification. This section of the AGARD Advisory Report 280 also includes proposals for associated tests of robustness and recommendations relating to each of the aspects considered. Emphasis is given to the need for a good user-interface and for reliable software tools for model structure identification. The need for preliminary flight trials to help in the design of identification experiments is emphasised, as is the need to establish good design criteria for verification inputs.

Dingwell, Donald B. and Knoche, Ruth and Webb, Sharon L. and Pichavant, Michel (1992): The effect of B2O3 on the viscosity of haplogranitic liquids. In: American Mineralogist, Vol. 77, No. 5-6: pp. 457-461 |
513kB |
The effect of B2O3 on the viscosity of a haplogranitic liquid (KrO-Na,O-AlrOr-SiO,) has been determined at I atm pressure in the temperature interval of 600-1600 °C. Viscosity measurementso f a haplogranite, haplogranite + 4.35 wt% B2O3 and haplogranite + 8.92 wt% B2O3 have been performed using the concentric cylinder and micropenetration methods. The viscosity of a B-enriched natural rhyolite obsidian, macusanite from Macusani, Peru, has also been determined. The viscosity of haplogranite liquid decreases with the addition of B2O3 at all temperatures investigated. The viscosity decrease is nonlinear, with the strongestd ecreasee xhibited at low B2O3 concentration. The temperature dependence of the viscosity of all the investigated liquids is Arrhenian, in strong contrast to the case for B2O3 Iiquid. The Arrhenian activation energy is much lower in the B2O3-bearing liquids than in the B2O3-free haplogranite, with the result that the effect of B2O3 on viscosity is a strong function of temperature. At temperatures corresponding to the crystallization of B-rich granitic and pegmatitic systems the addition of I wt% of B2O3 decreases the viscosity 2 orders of magnitude. The macusanite liquid exhibits a reduced viscosity compared with B-free rhyolite that is consistent with the synthetic liquid systematics. B must be considered as a fluxing agent in B-rich granitic and pegmatitlc systems.

Report No. C13024320
Big Island detectives have charged a 28-year-old Kona man in connection with the unlawful entry into a motor vehicle on Tuesday (September 10) in Kailua-Kona.
At approximately 7:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Kona Patrol Officers responded to a report of a theft from a motor vehicle within a parking lot in downtown Kailua-Kona. The victim, a 37-year-old Holualoa woman reported that she had placed personal belongings into a public storage rack located at the entrance of the Kailua Pier while she went swimming. Upon her return she found several items including her vehicle key and key fob were missing. She later found that her vehicle had been entered and property from within it had also been removed.
During the investigation officers developed information that lead to the identity of a local male seen in the area where the victim's property had been removed at the Kailua Pier and also the parking lot where the victim's vehicle was entered. On Wednesday (September 11) officers located and arrested Travis Ray Maunakea Sanders of Kailua-Kona, on suspicion of unlawful enter into a motor vehicle.
Detectives from the Area II Criminal Investigation section continued the investigation which led to a search warrant of a backpack that was in the suspect's possession at the time of his arrest. During the execution of the search warrant detectives recovered several items of the victim's stolen property along with illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia.
On Friday (September 13) detectives charged Sanders with unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, two counts of theft-third degree, theft of a credit card, unauthorized possession of confidential information, two counts of promoting a dangerous drug-third degree, promoting a detrimental drug third degree and two counts of drug paraphernalia. Bail was set at $75,000. Sanders remained at the Kona Cellblock pending his initial court appearance on Monday (September 16).

dc.description | (Published version of EUI ECO Working Paper 2010/06.) | |
dc.description.abstract | This paper provides evidence on the reliability of euro area real-time output gap estimates. A genuine real-time data set for the euro area is used, including vintages of several sets of euro area output gap estimates available from 1999 to 2010. It turns out that real-time estimates of the output gap tend to be characterised by a high degree of uncertainty, much higher than that resulting from model and estimation uncertainty only. In particular, the evidence indicates that both the magnitude and the sign of the real-time estimates of the euro area output gap are very uncertain. The uncertainty is mostly due to parameter instability and model uncertainty, while data revisions seem to play a minor role. Some euro area real-time measures, based on multivariate components models and capacity utilisation, are relatively less uncertain, but do not appear to be fully reliable along some dimensions. To benchmark our results, we repeat the analysis for the US over the same sample. It turns out that US real-time estimates tend to be revised to a lesser extent than euro area estimates. However, euro area real-time output gap estimates tend to display a higher correlation with the final estimates and the sign of the level of US real-time estimates tends to be revised more often compared to the corresponding euro area estimates. In addition, the data revision component of the revision error is larger for US estimates than for the euro area. Overall, the unreliability in real-time of the US output gap measures detected in earlier studies is confirmed in the more recent period. | en |

Dear Ann, I often remove film from H&E slides to do IHC. I soak the slide in acetone for 5 minutes to remove the coverslip film. Then 3 changes of absolute alcohol for 30 seconds each to remove the remainder of the adhesive, followed by 3 changes of xylene, 1 minute each. I then rehydrate thru absolute alcohol and 95% alcohol to water, then place in buffer. No need to decolorize. I've had very good luck doing IHC on these slides. I often get H&E slides for CKHMW, and occasionally for other antibodies. The Dr.s have been very pleased. Ellen Yee Central Histology Facility Sacramento, CA

Several members of the schweinfurthin family are potent and selective inhibitors of cancer cell growth in the NCI 60-cell cancer screen. The schweinfurthins display unique activity in this screen which suggests that these compounds have a previously unexploited target. This activity encourages development of the schweinfurthins as anti-cancer agents; however, the scarcity of the natural products has hindered biological evaluation. For this reason, a program was initiated to synthesize the natural products and analogues thereof. These efforts have made 5 natural product schweinfurthins and over 60 analogues available for biological evaluation.
Studies presented herein evaluate the biological activity, intracellular localization, and potential protein interactions of schweinfurthins analogues. To investigate the potent and differential effects of these compounds, a two-cell line screen was developed incorporating a sensitive cell (SF-295) and insensitive cell line (A549). The structure-function data obtained from this screen identified a schweinfurthin site amenable to modification. Based on this finding, fluorescent schweinfurthins were designed and synthesized. These compounds retain schweinfurthin-like potency and activity which is critical for their study. The intracellular localization of these schweinfurthins was investigated using fluorescence microscopy. These studies identified the lysosomes and peri-nuclear organelles as potential sites of schweinfurthin activity. Additionally, we describe the attachment of a fluorescent schweinfurthin to a solid support, which was utilized to identify protein-schweinfurthin interactions. This approach identified vimentin as a potential target of schweinfurthin activity.

Dedicated to: The memory of the heroes of September 11, 2001.
Type of Memorial: Statue
Location: The Porte Contarine Gardens in an area adjacent to the Piovego Canal
City: Padova
Country: Italy
Description: Daniel Libeskind has designed a large book shaped WTC memorial in Padua, Italy, which includes WTC ruins and is built almost entirely in etched DecorFlou Clear glass. The memorial, entitled Memoria e Luce - World Trade Center Memorial, opened in the fall of 2005 and can be found in the Porte Contarine Gardens in an area adjacent to the Piovego Canal. The official website explains, The light of Liberty shines through the Book of History. This Book is open to the memory of the heroes of September 11, 2001. The eternal affirmation of Freedom is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty, as seen by million of emigrants coming to America. In the left-hand page, is inscribed the dramatic beam salvaged from the World Trade Centre attack. The latitude of New York is connected to the centre of Padua as the vertical hinge of the Book. The Book is luminous, as is the low and expressive wall which creates an intimate place for meditation. The luminosity of this beacon will be modulated in subtle rhythms. The Book is delicately balanced between the historical buildings of Padua, the bridge, the waterway. The proposal also includes the re-discovery of the historical masonry wall in the creation of a place that is both memorable and uplifting. This special place will glow day and night, and throughout the seasons of the year. E on MAP

1925 clipping from,
A Documentary Scrapbook of Football in Frankford,
original source publication not identified.
Pottsville Takes Heavy End of 49-0 Score in Last Sunday's League Game
The Frankford Yellow Jackets were dropped a few positions in the National Football League standings as the result of the game last Sunday with the Pottsville Maroons.
This injury, which will be hard felt in Frankford, was in all probability due to the crippled team -- crippled and worn as a result of the strenuous last nine days during which they played five games.
Crowther, regular right end, was out with an injury, and Chamberlin was still out with his bad shoulder. Bill Springsteen was not playing, either, as he has injured his knee.
Even with this serious handicap there were several men playing with injuries. Lowe, running at end, was playing with a pulled tendon, and it was he and Hoffman, burly guard, who made a big percentage of the tackles. Hamer and little Homan also played a bang-up game of football. They often dropped would be touchdown makers, holding the score down, and yet they seemed to lack the pep to run back many punts.
The whole team suddenly buckled up in the final period and held the Maroons to one touchdown. They displayed a fine defense on their own 5-yard line and took possession of the ball on downs.
As for the winners, they scored in every period. First it was Tony Latone who scored, and Berry scored a field goal in the first period. But in the last of this period Frankford held tight, not permitting further scoring. Also in the second period Frankford held them to one touchdown. This was made by Flannigan. Then Frankford had their chance to score. They gained the ball on a fumble and a fifteen yard penalty against Pottsville took the ball well into Maroons' territory. Then Frankford gained a first down on their 20-yard line, but were unable to follow up with success.
The final touchdowns for Pottsville were made by Flannigan, Wentz and Walter French, a former Frankford man.
The defeat was the worst in the history of the Yellow Jackets since the 3-3 drubbing handed the Frankford team at Chicago last season. The score creates a league record for high scores.
Pottsville scored nine points before Frankford got possession of the ball., taking the initial kick-off and the second, and scoring each time with consistent drives down the field. Eleven forward passes were completed by the Maroons before one was grounded.

We have transitioned Ask Trevor into a broader, more effective resource for LGBTQ young people and their allies.
Please check out our new FAQ page here: http://TrevorSupportCenter.org
I can't trust anyone but I need to
I want to tell my friend that I think I'm bisexual. She came out to me a couple months ago and I was gonna tell her about me before she told me about her but stuff came up and I missed my chance. Now I'm afraid to tell her because I don't want her thinking I'm just saying it "for attention". And with my parents thinking anyone who isn't straight is "wrong" doesn't help. I just feel like I can't tell anyone but I need to get this off my chest. Writing in my journal can only do so much.
Original poster
Thank you for your courage and honesty in reaching out to 'Ask Trevor'. Dealing with feelings inside of yourself like sexual identity can feel like a daunting and confusing task, to say nothing of the uncertainty of what other people – your friend or your parents – may or may not think about it. I want to commend you on your strength and fortitude in coming to terms with this issue. You are a hero, never forget that!
You bring up concerns about your sexual identity and the fact that your friend recently came out to you. You don't want to seem like you are coming out 'for attention' or just because she did. Just remember…sexual identity ("Am I gay? Am I bisexual?") is not something anyone can just quickly arrive at a decision about. In other words, it's not a race…I'd encourage you to slow down and really take as much time as you are comfortable with or need to think about your sexual identity. Coming out is not about who announces it first or an act of defiance against what your parents may think about "right or wrong", it is about YOUR COMFORT and YOUR SAFETY. You're right, some people don't share the same opinion of sexuality other than straight, and so coming out should be about how you truly feel and your safety.
Ask yourself the following – When you have sexual feelings or fantasize about sex, dating, or relationships, WHICH gender do you see yourself with? Men? Women? When you look at your parents' relationship, do you see yourself in a long term relationship with a man or a woman? And if the answer is both equally, then bisexuality could be a distinct possibility. So take the time to explore this or even have discussion with your friend about how she finally decided to come out. Who knows…this common bonding and talk may lead you to your answers and sharing your identity with your equally brave friend.
Speaking of talking and discussing, go to www.trevorspace.org, an online and SAFE social networking site where you can connect, talk, and discuss these issues with others in a similar place (or make new friends!). I'll also encourage you to check out www.bisexual.org, a great website where if you click on "resources", then "bisexuality-general information", you get "Bisexuality 101 from PFLAG" with awesome information. And don't forget The Trevor Lifeline at 866-4-U-TREVOR and TrevorChat. I hope this helps!

Hoon, M; Bauer, G; Fritschy, J M; Moser, T; Falkenburger, B H; Varoqueaux, F (2009). Neuroligin 2 controls the maturation of GABAergic synapses and information processing in the retina. Journal of Neuroscience, 29(25):8039-8050.
9MB View at publisher |
In the present study, we investigated the role of Neuroligin 2 (NL2) in synaptic transmission and network function using the mouse retina as a model circuit. We show that NL2 is preferentially located at GABAergic rather than glycinergic or glutamatergic postsynapses. The absence of NL2 from the retina resulted in a severe reduction of GABA(A) receptor clustering, and in subtle alterations of the retinal circuitry. Light processing was impaired accordingly, and retinal ganglion cells, the output neurons of the retina, showed increased basal activity and altered coding of visual information. Together, our data indicate that NL2 is essential for the functional integrity of GABAergic signaling and as a consequence, for information processing in the retina.

basal layer
part of epidermis
epidermis (anatomy)
in zoology, protective outermost portion of the skin. There are two layers of epidermis, the living basal layer, which is next to the dermis, and the external stratum corneum, or horny layer, which is composed of dead, keratin-filled cells that have migrated outward from the basal layer. The melanocytes, responsible for skin colour, are found in the basal cells. The epidermis has no blood...

Japanese carrier Skymark Airlines plans to retire three Boeing 737-800s from its fleet in the current 2014 fiscal year ending 31 March.
Skymark already withdrew two units from service, including a 2005-vintage 737-800 on lease from AerCap at the end of September, and a 2006-built aircraft from DAE Capital at the end of last month, according to a document filed with the Tokyo stock exchange.
The Japanese low-cost carrier fleet plan shows the phase-out of an additional unit next March, a 2006-vintage aircraft on lease from GECAS.
In September 2014, another 2006-built aircraft from GECAS is also scheduled to leave the fleet.
By then Skymark will operate 29 737-800s. It recently introduced two new aircraft under operating lease agreements with GECAS.
Skymark will introduce two new Airbus A330-300s to its fleet in February and March next year, the document shows. Both aircraft will be leased from CIT Aerospace.
Another four aircraft of the type will follow in the 2015 fiscal year. The A330-300s are part of a seven-aircraft lease agreement with Intrepid Aviation.

Kyle Hughes has video footage from a press conference Tuesday about potentially dangerous chemicals found in foam-based nap mats, which are a staple of day care centers in New York and elsewhere.
Bobbi Chase Wilding from Clean & Healthy New York and Ansje Miller, eastern states director for the Center for Environmental Health, explained that the chemicals are being used as flame retardants but research is now pointing out links between exposure and health maladies, including asthma.
The flame retardants were mandated by older laws that were imposed when smoking was more prevalent, and the risk of fire was higher. Bills are pending that would ban some of the most prevalent chemicals.

The story of Jim Thompson is a fascinating one, and in fact has prompted the writing of several books on his life. An American soldier and spy, Jim was sent to Thailand towards the end of the war and fell in love with the country. He returned after his service had ended and made a life for himself. Particularly interested in the cottage silk industry, Jim was a key influencer in promoting the Thai silk trade and helped bring this product to the global market. He was also very interested in Asian culture and design, creating a beautiful teak home filled with locally sourced artwork, furniture, and inspiration. Continue reading

Far from the dark wool coats and down vests most will be donning, this Fashion Week is all about celebrating light fabrics, bold graphics and colorful prints. Continue reading
With my upcoming trip to Thailand just around the corner, it feels only natural to look back on my first visit to the land of smiles.

The Graham and Co. held their second weekend of the Phoenicia Flea over Columbus Day weekend and it was the perfect fall weekend retreat. Just a short 3 hour bus ride from New York's Port Authority, Phoenicia is a town on the cusp. A hipster getaway, thanks to the stylish and very instagramable Graham and Co hotel, the crowd at the Phoenicia Flea looked like a scene right out of Brooklyn's Smorgasburg, albeit a bit quieter. The Flea was a highly curated group of artisans, designers, and creatives including brands like Escape Brooklyn, Straw and Gold, Owlkill Studio, Local Creative, Thorneater and more.

Arsenal and Tottenham are battling with Inter in the race to sign Alvaro Morata, after Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti revealed he was free to leave the club on loan, according to the
Daily Mail.
Morata is looking for regular first-team football after finding starts difficult to come by last season, where he was most often used as a substitute. Ancelotti is intending to bid for Liverpool star Luis Suarez this summer, and so knows that Morata may need to find regular action elsewhere.
Admitting that Morata should leave the club on loan, Ancelotti said: 'The player wants to look for an opportunity where he can play more and the club agrees with this. If he leaves it would be good that he would have the chance to play. If Morata goes we have to think about getting a young forward with the same characteristics.'
Arsenal have long been linked with a move for Morata as they search for a striker to help provide competition and support to Olivier Giroud, while new Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has identified the 21-year-old as a key summer target. Meanwhile, Inter are also in the hunt for a striker, although Chelsea's Fernando Torres is thought to be their first-choice.

Puget Sound Energy Launches Green Offer for Natural Gas Customers
June 16, 2011
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has launched the Carbon Balance Program for its natural gas customers. The program supplies carbon offsets from a biogas anaerobic digester at the George DeRuyter and Sons Dairy located in Outlook, Washington. The offsets are certified by the Climate Action Reserve and purchased through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation.PSE natural gas customers can purchase carbon-offset "blocks" for $4 each. One block is equivalent to the removal of 400 pounds of carbon dioxide. PSE estimates that an average residential customer using 68 therms of natural gas per month would need to purchase two 400 pound blocks in order to offset 100 percent of his natural gas use.
The program's first customer was Seattle University, which began purchasing offsets for 100 percent of its natural gas use on May 1st.
The Carbon Balance Program for natural gas customers complements PSE's existing Green Power Program for electricity consumers.

Anna Karenina

Considered by some to be the greatest novel ever written, Anna Karenina is Tolstoy's classic tale of love and adultery set against the backdrop of high society in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. A rich and complex masterpiece, the novel charts the disastrous course of a love affair between Anna, a beautiful married woman, and Count Vronsky, a wealthy army officer. Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together the lives of dozens of characters, and in doing so captures a breathtaking tapestry of late-nineteenth-century Russian society. As Matthew Arnold wrote in his celebrated essay on Tolstoy, "We are not to take Anna Karenina as a work of art; we are to take it as a piece of life."
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editions of important works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torch-bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.
"One of the greatest love stories in world literature."
--Vladimir Nabokov

Baucus Says Tax Reform Should Diversify, Secure U.S. Energy Sources Finance Chairman: We Are Still too Reliant on Foreign Oil June 15, 2012
In a Senate Finance Committee hearing, Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said tax reform can improve U.S. energy policy to ensure the United States has a more diverse, secure and clean energy supply in the future. Baucus talked about the importance of moving away from foreign oil and taking advantage of domestic energy resources to vary the U.S.'s energy portfolio.
"We're already making progress diversifying our energy portfolio, but there's more we can do. We are still too reliant on foreign oil," Baucus said. "Tax reform is an opportunity for the energy sector to make real progress moving toward diverse, clean and secure American-made energy sources." A full 85 percent of the federal government's support for the energy sector comes from the tax code. And those provisions cover a wide variety of energy sources, including nuclear, oil, gas, coal, wind, solar and geothermal. There are also provisions covering a range of energy applications, like powering common household appliances and running massive factories. The structure and level of tax incentives varies for different technologies, however, and while some are permanent, others are temporary and require frequent extensions. Baucus said the result is inefficient, and provisions that are not proven to increase jobs or advance energy policy should expire or be repealed. Baucus also raised the possibility of adopting a technology-neutral approach to energy tax incentives that would still help businesses develop new technologies, but let the market decide which ones stick.

Finally, A Materials Science Revolution In Helmet Design
A new polymer tube technology called Aerocore could finally improve head protection, says Smith Optics, maker of this badass helmet.
"There really haven't been many new technologies or materials used in helmets over the past 30 years," says Graham Sours. "It's been very focused on materials like EPS and EPP," that classic gray helmet styrofoam. "There hasn't been much in the way of revolution," he says.
Sours and his company Smith Optics are trying to change that. As the helmet category manager there, Sours was one of the driving forces behind a new lid called the Forefront: a stunning-looking full-coverage helmet that makes use of cutting-edge material science to protects cyclists better, last longer, and shows structural damage more clearly once it's been compromised or crashed.
The technology is called Aerocore, and Smith says it's up to 30% better than standard EPS foam when it comes to impact protection. Thanks to Aerocore, the Forefront is lighter, more comfortable, and—if we say so ourselves—more stylish than just about any other helmet out there.
Here's how a company known for sunglasses was able to reinvent a vital technology that has remained unchanged (and deeply flawed) for years.
Serve Your Design Brief
The Aerocore material acts as a low-density foam that wraps around the entire helmet and is reinforced externally by a high-density EPS foam. A plastic shell and inner EPS layer makes up the helmet's exoskeleton—while three sections of a material called Koroyd are located beneath this shell, directly above the rider's head. Koroyd itself is created using thousands of co-polymer tubes which are thermally welded together. This results in a honeycomb-type structure, almost like a mass of straw-like tubes fused together. Naturally, that leads to more breathability, too.
"Everything was in service of our original design brief, which was to focus on fit, protection, ventilation, and integration," says Sours. "We did a lot of internal testing, looking at the pros and cons of different materials, before we finally made our decision."
While Sours' team didn't develop the Koroyd material itself, Smith Optics is the first—and currently only—company to be using it in the context of helmets. "The way we've incorporated EPS foam with the Koroyd material is proprietary," says Cassie Abel, the brand's communications manager. "It's something no one else is doing."
The Importance Of Innovation
"As a company, we've always been associated with innovation," Abel continues. "In 1965 our company founder, Dr. Bob Smith, invented the first goggles with a sealed thermal lens and breathable vent foam." This invention not only changed the powder skiing experience forever, but helped establish Smith Optics as an international brand.
Where Dr. Smith, a dentist by trade, made the prototypes for his goggles sitting at the kitchen table, today Smith Optics takes a not entirely dissimilar approach when it comes to nurturing innovation. It's a valuable lesson that could be used even by a startup looking to get the best out of people working in different disciplines, or on different product lines.
"Our development group is a relatively small team," Sours says. "How we use that to our advantage is that because everyone is sitting in a close space—so that I sit next to the person in charge of sunglasses, for example—and every day we're talking about how our products are going to work together. We're in a closed office and everyone works together, offering opinions on every product so that it's as good as it can possibly be."
Steve Jobs famously stated that the role of the innovator is to do the job that consumers shouldn't have to: namely, to work out what they're going to want next, before they're aware of it. What this meant for the Forefront helmet was that Sours and his team didn't just look at safety standards now, but at where they might be in a few years. This involved not simply living up minimum guidelines currently as stipulated by law, but also significantly exceeding them.
In the same way that bicycle helmets haven't changed a great deal over the past few decades, the same is true of their safety standards—which have remained unchanged for a number of years. In the United States there isn't even a uniform law which states that it is a legal requirement for cyclists to wear bicycle helmets when riding—with 21 states covering only children, and 29 having no statewide law at all. With more traffic on the road than ever, the majority of cyclist casualties being adults (less than one-fifth are children), and an increasing amount known about concussions, safety guidelines for cycle helmets are in line for a long-overdue overhaul.
"We're trying to reinvent protection," Sours says.
Pay Attention To Your Customer
But it's not just about innovating without paying attention to the consumer. One of the things Sours notes that he focuses on is looking at the way cyclists (read: potential customers) use their products—mining their behavior for hidden insights that might lead to a unique design decision.
For instance, Smith's reputation as an optics company means that Sours pays special attention to how headwear fits in with existing helmets.
"When we looked at a lot of our competitor's models one thing we noticed was that sunglasses and goggles didn't fit real well with the helmets they were creating," he says. "We wanted to make sure that the two would integrate well, both when the user was wearing their sunglasses, but also when they wanted to sit them on the helmet. We noticed that a lot of the time when it's not sunny, cyclists like to push their glasses back to sit on the helmet. So we tried to make that a central feature of the helmet."
This same ethos applied to looking at emerging technologies and seeing how these could be integrated within the helmet. "One of our aims is to constantly stay ahead of new tools and products that are coming onto the market," he continues.
To this end the Forefront helmet can not only be integrated with your sunglasses and goggles, but also attachable lights and—increasingly—POV cameras. "At the moment we're hearing a lot about Google Glass," Sours continues. "That could well be something to watch in the future."
