L.A. School Technology Chief Resigns
Ronald Chandler stepped down last week amid ongoing troubles surrounding the LAUSD's student information system and 1-to-1 computing initiative.
Ronald Chandler stepped down last week amid ongoing troubles surrounding the LAUSD's student information system and 1-to-1 computing initiative.
A new documentary short film, "Crenshaw," shows how top-down reform policies such as school reconstitution can do more harm than good for students and the community.
Ramon Cortines is the once and future superintendent of Los Angeles Unified, brought back to make peace and get things done.
Los Angeles Unified's school board voted against releasing an inspector general's report on a controversial technology program days before the district's superintendent stepped down.
The hard-charging superintendent is stepping down after an at-times tumultuous run as chief of the nation's second largest school district.
Deasy is credited with raising graduation rates and achievement outcomes for minorities, but in recent months, his leadership has been marred by the fallout of his technology initiatives and low morale among teachers and staff.
John Deasy picked up a bad hand of cards when he came to the superintendency in Los Angeles. Now, as his exit is likely, the question is whether anyone could have played them better.
A California judge issued a temporary restraining order requiring the state to immediately step in and fix scheduling problems that have caused students at Jefferson High School in Los Angeles to miss classes and be illegally denied enough learning time.
The good news about graduation comes just as the school board is debating whether to keep Superintendent John Deasy at the helm of the nation's second largest district.
The board will decide later this month whether to extend Superintendent John Deasy's contract. Both supporters and detractors think his days at the nation's second-largest school district are numbered.

My husband and I batted around the idea of getting a steam cleaner for years. I'd read all kinds of horror stories about leakage and poor performance, and just wasn't sure it was worth the expense or hassle--that is, until we got a puppy.

A great cleaner, and a good value
I just bought a new house, and along with it, a bunch of dirty carpet. Though it wasn't all that old, the carpet in the house was filthy. At first, I thought that perhaps I would need to replace it all, but decided to try to clean it first.

Country/Date of Origin: Korea/1800s
A medium sized member of the Spitz family of dogs that is spread across Asia and northern Europe. The Jindo was isolated on the Korean island of the same name for centuries where it was used as a guard animal and a hunter. In a pack, the Jindos tracked and attacked big game such as deer. They also had the speed and agility to catch small game alone. In their homeland they are sometimes used to course hares.
The breed appeared in the West first in France and has since made its way to the United States.

Using rails3 and prototype (rails.js)
I have a simple list of products with edit and delete links as images. When deleting a product, the list is not updated. Refreshing the page shows that the product has indeed been deleted.
<div id="product_list">
<%= render :partial => 'list' %>
<%= link_to image_tag("delete.png"), { :controller => 'products', :action => 'destroy', :id => product }, :method => :delete, :confirm => "Are you sure?", :remote => true %>
def destroy
@products = Product.all
/app/views/products/destroy.rjs (not sure what to do with that...)
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#product_list").html("<%= escape_javascript( render(:partial => "list") ) %>");
So the remote link seems to work fine. I'm not sure how to use the ajax callback to update #product_list
I tried to put the following in the head of the page:
$('#product_list').bind("ajax:success", function(evt, data, status, xhr){
But it's not executed (that's probably not a valid code for prototype) and I wouldn't know anyway what code to put inside so that my list gets updated after destroying a product
Any help (other than "use jQuery") is greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Here is the server log for the delete action (after I moved the javascript above to destroy.js.erb)
Started POST "/products/destroy/3" for 127.0.0.1 at .....
Processing by ProductsController#destroy as JS
Parameters: {"_"=>"", "id"=>"3"}
[1m[36mProduct Load (0.0ms)[0m [1mSELECT `products`.* FROM `products` WHERE (`products`.`id` = 3) LIMIT 1[0m
[1m[35mSQL (0.0ms)[0m BEGIN
[1m[36mSQL (0.0ms)[0m [1mDELETE FROM `products` WHERE (`products`.`id` = 3)[0m
[1m[35mSQL (78.1ms)[0m COMMIT
[1m[36mProduct Load (0.0ms)[0m [1mSELECT `products`.* FROM `products`[0m
Rendered products/destroy.js.erb within layouts/standard (31.2ms)
Completed 200 OK in 312ms (Views: 62.5ms | ActiveRecord: 78.1ms)
Processing by ProductsController#destroy as JS so the remote link works
[36mProduct Load (0.0ms)[0m [1mSELECT
products. FROM
products* The @products = Product.all is executed
Rendered products/destroy.js.erb within layouts/standard the javascript fie is rendered
So now I guess it's a problem with the javascript code:
$(document).ready(function() { $("#product_list").html("<%= escape_javascript( render(:partial => "list") ) %>"); });
Is that kind of code supported by prototype? I don't use jQuery...

In Topic: Kingman Hammer... noisy!
27 February 2011 - 08:29 PMAfter a closer inspection if the pump handle, I did find a tiny, removable screw. Unscrewing this, I found a small plastic liner which could be removed. I don't know how I missed it, having completed a thorough inspection and full restoration of this marker. The liner is only about a half a centimeter in breadth on each side, however, and may help accommodate a slightly thicker barrel. It isn't going to help with the modern, massively variable barrel geometry found on most tourney barrels, but the flexibility is nice to have and it opens up many opportunities for different barrels.
I'm afraid the ACI Zero Gravity barrels are a tad out of my price range - hell, I only paid $60 for the whole gun. The J&J Ceramic barrels, on the other hand, look promising. If I were made of money, I'd get a 16 Stiffi... those carbon-fiber barrels are quieter than a mouse treading on a feather pillow. Does anyone know if the J&J Ceramic barrels are quiet enough to serve on a sniper's marker?
In Topic: Kingman Hammer... noisy!
26 February 2011 - 11:03 PM1-l,
Thanks for the response. As a matter of fact, I've gone through many retail stores in my area, and I've basically given up on finding a barrel that fits at those stores. All their barrels are designed for modern tourney markers, and they're hardly catering for the 15-year old vintage gun market. My only other option would be to bore out the pump, but if I do that it will compromise the tightness of the fit on the pump and it would be useless if I were to use the regular barrel again. My only choice seems to be going to a large, multi-faceted paintball event and try to find something there.

Another month has passed and so here is the updated Arctic sea ice volume graph as calculated by the Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) at the Polar Science Center:
The 2014 trend line is showing the same curve as previous years, which means it stays well above the record years from the 2010-2013 period. The difference with 2013, compared to last month, has shrunk (from 1376 to 1108 km3), but other than that the difference with other years has increased. The difference with record year 2012 at the end of September has gone up from 3152 to 3284 km3, and with 2007 the difference has increased dramatically from 581 to 1516 km3. 2014 is now battling it out with previous rebound years 2008 and 2009.
This can clearly be seen on the more detailed PIOMAS sea ice volume graph produced by Wipneus:

The New York Assembly passed a bill Wednesday that would prevent employers from discriminating against their employees for their reproductive health-care decisions.
The results of the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which were released on Friday, are somewhat discouraging. On almost every measure of safer sexual behavior, progress has either stagnated or, in cases like condom use, reversed.
The exact cause of her death, which, according to the Associated Press, occurred "hours after she surrendered to serve a 48-hour sentence," is unclear.
The anniversary of the Loving case on June 12 and Juneteenth on the 19th should remind us that, within the African-American freedom struggle and broader movements for equality, there has always been a struggle to determine the right to marry, select an intimate partner of one's choice, and to form the families that we want.
After winning a settlement that opened the door for thousands of women to initiate malpractice lawsuits against Dalkon Shield, the IUD that caused my sterilization, I naively thought we had seen the end of sterilization atrocities. Unfortunately, that is not so, at least in California.
A recent Washington Post article put fault for abuse squarely on the shoulders of "women in unhealthy, unsafe relationships [who] often lack the power to demand marriage," as if the only thing standing between a belt and a bruised baby is a woman who didn't ask for a ring hard enough.
An Indiana grandmother is asking lawmakers to criminalize the transmission of STDs from a child molester to his or her victim, while New York's mayor has declined to comment on whether he'll support the continued enforcement of regulations to discourage a circumcision ritual that's been known to spread herpes to infants.
The proposed law would update New York's existing workplace anti-discrimination laws to prohibit an employer from discriminating against an employee on the basis of their reproductive health-care decisions.
There isn't a looming reproductive health-care crisis in the South. It has already arrived.

3.0 out of 5 stars Common sense, like many other books
The content is nothing but common. Chapters 1-6 are ok but the rest is redundant. If you consider yourself at the absolute low end of the spectrum on innovation then this book is a definite read. If you consider yourself at least average avoid buying the book. Just read the title of the chapters and the rest you can figure out yourself.

Karl @ The Startup Daily "Ideas for Entrepren... (Pescadero, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators (Hardcover)
Companies that are seen as innovators command an "innovation premium" in the market, and for good reason. These are the companies that not only adapt to changing conditions, but lead the way through them.
The five discovery skills--building blocks of innovation--that are identified in this book were arrived at through extensive research (8 years and over 100 interviews), which separates it from the bulk of the existing books on innovation that too often trumpet a methodology that worked in one case at one organization as being a universal solution.
The surprising revelation is that these five building blocks are behaviors, not traits that you are either born with or will never have. These are habits that can be learned and mastered through practice.
Although the ideas will be familiar to readers on creativity and innovation, they take on new meaning when presented in this context and prioritized based on the researcher's findings. For example, two of the five behaviors are universal and appear to be essential, while the other three showed up frequently, but not every one of those behaviors is practiced in every case.
The later part of this book gives practical ideas on how to integrate these habits into the 3P's (people, processes, and philosophies) of an organization.
I had high expectations for this book and it did not disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars How and why disruptive innovators maximize creative impact,
Robert Morris (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators (Hardcover)
As is true of others who have written business books that also offer breakthrough insights, the authors of this one set out to answer an especially important question: "Where do disruptive business models come from?" What Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregersen, and Clayton Christensen concluded is shared in this book. It's too early to be certain, of course, but I think this book is destined to become a "business classic," as have so many of the other books that Christensen has authored or co-authored. It is worth noting that The Innovator's DNA emerged from an eight-year collaborative study, suggesting that its information, insights, and counsel are research-driven, anchored in the real world.
Some of the most valuable material was generated by interviews of dozens of "inventors of revolutionary products and services as well as founders and CEOs of game-changing companies build on innovative ideas." They also include what they learned from Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, and Howard Schultz (whom they did not interview) whose innovative thinking has transformed entire industries. "We wanted to understand as much about these people as possible, including the moment (when and how) they came up with the creative ideas that launched new products or businesses."
The title of this book refers to an aggregate of five primary discovery skills that enable various innovative entrepreneurs and executives to generate breakthrough ideas. "A critical insight from our research is that one's ability to generate innovative ideas is not merely the function of the mind, but also a function of behaviors. This is good news for us all because it means that if we change our behaviors, we can change our creative impact."
It should also be noting that an abundance of entrepreneurial research throughout the past 17-20 years reveals that, in terms of personality traits or psychometric measures, entrepreneurs do not differ significantly from typical (even traditional) business executives. My take is that almost anyone in almost any workplace can develop the five discovery skills. The extent and velocity of that development will largely depend on leadership. "The bottom line: If you want innovation [enterprise wide], you need creativity skills within the top management team of your company."
The co-authors include a disclaimer (sort of): "First, engaging in the discovery skills doesn't ensure financial success...Second, failure (in a financial sense) often results from not being vigilant in engaging all the discovery skills...Third, we spotlight different innovators and innovative companies to illustrate key ideas or principles, but not [repeat NOT] to set them up as perfect examples of how to be innovative."
The five Discovery Skills are hardly head-snappers: Associating with stimuli (mind, heart, and five senses); Questioning anything and everything, especially one's assumptions and premises; Observing with intent and intensity, noting what many others miss; Networking by connecting people as well as dots while accessing new (i.e. unfamiliar) resources; and Experimenting (e.g. test the untested, disassemble and deconstruct, prototype, add new knowledge). In the most innovative organizations or portions thereof, all five are institutionalized in terms of incentives and rewards, division of labor, allocating resources, transparency, cross-functional collaboration, recognition/celebration, and (yes) protection for prudent but bold risk-takers.
Not everyone is willing and/or able to thrive in such a culture. Disruption is by nature messy, unpredictable, confusing, upsetting, and often threatening. When Joseph Schumpeter introduced the process of "creative destruction," his ultimate objective was, in fact, creative creation. Just as Albert Einstein urges us to make everything as simple as possible but no simpler, Schumpeter urges us to destroy everything except what is essential...and then build on that. The authors of this book urge us to strengthen the five skills through individual and team initiatives that are guided and informed by a business model that, if it is designed properly, will be continuously self-disruptive.

4.0 out of 5 stars We can all learn to innovate,
Jim Estill (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators (Hardcover)
Christensen is one of the great thinkers of our time. Start by reading his book - Innovators Dilemma where he explains what disruptive innovation is. The Innovator's DNA builds on his many previous books by laying out the skills needed to innovate. He not only explains the skills but gives hope that anyone can learn them and explains how.
The 5 skills:
1 - Associate. Innovators associate previously unconnected things to come up with products or ideas. Innovators apply ideas from completely different areas to their field.
2 - Questioning. clearly nothing happens unless someone questions things.
"Question the Unquestionable" Ratan Tata - Tata Group
3 - Observing. "Observation is the biggest game changer" - Scott Cook - founder of Intuit (I have met Scott a few times and he is one of the nicest person you could want to meet. I say this and I do not even like accounting) Obviously learning is greatest when things are observed.
4 - Networking. Again, a key skill for any innovator.
5 - Experiment. This, for me, would be summed up by my Fail Often, Fail Fast, Fail Cheap.
One final quote from the book:
"Innovators like to work for other innovators"
Perhaps that is why whole companies seem to attract high innovation people.

Peter J. Sorenson "Tangible Value from Webs o... (Dallas-Fort Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators (Hardcover)
A Politically Correct Status Quo
It is politically correct in management circles to say that you are "results oriented" or that you "drive for results" in your organization.
The status quo in business schools is to indoctrinate students in the delivery skills of analyzing, planning, detail-oriented implementing, and disciplined executing.
This book and the research upon which it is based disrupts that politically correct status quo.
Clayton Christensen has spent close to two decades creating the research, conceptual, and application foundation of the disruptive innovation body of knowledge. He has been working for more than 8 years with Jeff Dyer and Hal Gregersen, both gifted researchers, teachers, and consultants in their own right, on this project. These guys are a disruptive "dream team" of contributors.
This book articulates an extension of the disruptive innovation body of knowledge that clearly describes an individual profile of the disruptive innovator and an organizational profile of an organization that makes disruptive innovation happen.
So what makes this book disruptive?
The first thing is timing. It arrives on the scene at a time when innovation is one of the most critical components of a solution to our global financial and organizational mess. If we are to get out of our morass of debt and sluggish growth and respond to the continually emerging challenges of a burgeoning global society it will ride on the backs and wings of innovation. The status quo must be disrupted for us to survive and thrive!
Second is the audacity of the core models. The authors claim that innovation can be learned at both the individual and organizational level. Individuals can increase their ability to discover (Discovery Quotient - DQ) and learn to be more innovative. They cite the four specific behavioral skills of asking questions, engaging in observations, networking with people who have a different point of view, and experimenting to figure out what can work as the common elements of what innovators do. They also identify the cognitive skill of associational thinking, the ability to find connections between ideas that do not seem to be related to each other, as the connection between the behavioral skills and the generation of ideas. They extend their claim that the innovation competency can be learned to the organizational domain by saying that organizations can become more innovative through developing and leading people, designing and implementing processes, and advocating and living by philosophies that support innovation. These two arguments stand in stark contrast to the beliefs and practices of a vast majority of leaders and institutions.
(For a diagram of the Model see [...])
'And all of this is built upon the third source of disruption: research. Their work is based on well-founded research into the "DNA" of the world's leading innovators and the world's most innovative organizations. The authors conducted nearly 100 interviews of world class innovators and their colleagues to get at the heart of what innovators do. They also interviewed and surveyed executives who are not innovators. (Their survey data base has over 5000 respondents in it.) So they have been able to compare and contrast the two populations to more clearly see what it takes to effectively innovate.
They have also done research on business results attributable to innovation. Collaborating with HOLT (a division of Credit Suisse) they were able to craft a measurement called the "innovation premium." This measure identifies if an organization's market capitalization can be accounted for by existing cash flows or if there is an innovation influence on the stock price. By using this measure, they have been able to clearly and objectively identify which organizations are benefiting from innovation.
Yet to Explore
The tension in the balance of influence and power between the leaders with predominantly "Discovery" or "Delivery" mindsets is an area that has yet to be explored. If the premises of this book are sound, and I believe they are, we need to figure out how to manage that tension and balance in order to generate, incubate, and strengthen innovative ideas as we bring them to full fruition in the marketplace. Great ideas that are not delivered upon are simply recreational pursuits that do not build great people, great institutions, and great societies. So there is work yet to do.
Invest Your Time and Effort
This book makes a significant contribution to both the disruptive innovation body of knowledge and the evolving body of practice on innovating disruptively. It is well worth reading, pondering, and acting upon.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art & Science of Innovation,
This review is from: The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators (MP3 CD)
If you believe, everything that can be invented has been invented, and there is no compelling reason for the humanity to continually innovate, then certainly, this is not the book for you. However, you will be glued to The Innovator's DNA - if you are intrigued by questions like: How can I become more innovative myself? How can we infuse a culture of innovation? What is the secret sauce that differentiates the most successful enterprises and innovative individuals? How visionary entrepreneurs like Apple's Steve Jobs, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, eBay's Pierre Omidyar, and P&G's A.G. Lafley come up with groundbreaking new ideas? If you want to bring in a difference to the world around you and improve the quality of lives, then The Innovator's DNA is a hard to put down.
Authored by Jeff Dyer, Hal Gergersen, and Clayton M. Christensen, and published by the Harvard Business Review Press in 2011, The Innovator's DNA, deciphers the mystique genome of disruptive innovators, and simplifies the complex aura that is often woven around innovation, thereby, democratizing the notion of innovation. Based on an eight-year inductive and exploratory, interview-based, research methodology to unravel the origins of creative, and often disruptive business strategies in particularly innovative companies, the authors microscopically examine the habits of innovative entrepreneurs, over 3,000 executives and 500 individuals who had started innovative companies or invented new products/services. The results of this study was first published in a leading academic journal, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, and then later published in another article that was the runner-up for the 2009 Harvard Business Review McKinsey Award.
While the first part of the book focuses on how disruptive innovation can start with you as an individual, the second part deals with the DNA of disruptive organizations and teams. The first six chapters describe how innovative people think differently and act differently to generate creative ideas for new products, services, processes and businesses. The rest of the chapters are focused on answering the question, how innovative companies and tram comprising many people build the code for innovation into their people, processes, and philosophies?
In the first chapter, the DNA of the disruptive innovators, the authors argue that creativity is not a genetic predisposition, but is an active endeavor. Based on their research on five hundred innovators compared to about five thousand executives, the authors classify five discovery skills that make innovators special. They argue that innovators' DNA carries strong cognitive trait of association, and behavioral skills of passionate questioning, intense observing, diverse networking, and continual experimenting. The authors expound that innovators are passionate and courageous to continually innovate.
In the second chapter, discovery skill #1, associating, the authors dwell on the dynamics of combinatorial play, and how innovators use diverse associations to propel great business ideas. Stressing on cross-pollination of experiences, and perspectives, the authors details how disruptive innovator create odd combinations of different concepts, zoom in and out into the depth of details while collecting lots of ideas to connect the dots across diverse experiences to synthesize disruptive thoughts.
In the third chapter, discovery skill #2, questioning, the authors describe how innovators treat the world as a question mark, always on an autopilot mode, instinctively ignoring safe questions, and opting for crazy ones, challenging the status quo, common wisdom, and often threatening the powers that be with uncommon intensity and frequency. The authors expound that questioning is a way of life for innovators and elucidates how vital it is to inculcate the habit of asking descriptive questions like what is?, what caused?, and disruptive questions such as why?, why not?, and what if?
In the fourth chapter, discovery skill #3, observing, the authors showcase how innovators always keep their intense observation skills turned on, carefully scanning the world around them, and sensitized to what doesn't work. The authors argue that such observations often engage multiple senses, and prompt compelling questions. They reflect on how innovators generate business insights keenly observing people, processes, companies or technologies and seeing a solution that can be applied in a different context. They visit new environments, look for surprises, always on an exploratory journey in all they do.
In the fifth chapter, discovery skill #4, networking the authors explain how
Innovators gain a radically different perspective unlike typical delivery executives through an enriching network of diverse individuals. They stress that out-of-box-thinking necessitates tapping outside experts, through idea networking, going out of way to meet people with different backgrounds and perspectives. Networking is most likely to spark innovative ideas, the authors aver.
In the sixth chapter, discovery skill #5 experimenting, the authors stress that for the innovators, the world is their lab, they always try out new experiences, taking things apart, testing ideas by creating prototypes, and running pilots. They further argue that though questioning, observing, and networking are excellent for providing data about past and future, experimenting is the best way to generate data to achieve success and shape the future. It points out that most innovators remain undeterred by the outcome of their experiments.
In chapter seven, the authors explain in detail the DNA of the most innovative companies, and how they build their code for innovation right into their organization's 3Ps: people, processes and philosophies. It establishes that leading by founder leaders who excelled at discovery, such companies have more people with stronger discovery skills at all levels, and a culture of systematic processes to infuse same skills in all employees. The philosophies of such firms include innovation is everyone's job, disruptive innovation as part of portfolio, lots of small project teams, and smart risks, the book explains.
In chapter eight the authors focus on "People", and how to put the Innovator's DNA into practice. They explain how innovation distinguishes leaders from followers. The authors further argue that in world's most innovative companies senior executive don't delegate innovation, they lead the innovation charge with a high discovery quotient and regularly contribute innovative ideas. The authors stress that innovative companies find novel ways to hire discovery driven people who have a track record of innovation and a strong desire to change the world.
Chapter nine illuminates the readers on "Processes", and how to put the Innovator's DNA into practice. The authors reveal that the DNA of the innovative organizations reflects the DNA of innovative individuals. They elucidate that just as innovative people systematically engage in questioning, observing, networking and experimenting to trigger new ideas, innovative organizations develop systematic processes that encourage the same skills in employees. By creating organizational processes that mirror their individual discovery behaviors, innovative leaders build their personal innovator's DNA into their organization, the authors assert.
Chapter ten stretches the imagination on "Philosophies", and how to put the Innovator's DNA into practice. The authors explain that highly innovative companies live by a set of key innovation philosophies that instill a deep enterprise-wide commitment to innovation. They profess that such companies make clear that innovation is everyone's job, that disruptive innovation is vital, that they create lots of small project teams endowed with the right people, structures, and resources to power new ideas to market, and they knowingly take risk in their pursuit of innovation. The authors maintain that such philosophies drive a culture that only ignites new ideas, but helps them make a dent in the universe.
In the concluding part the authors stress on the imperative to act different, think different, and making a difference to the worlds around us. They stress that though the innovators journey, individually or collectively, can often feel like a road less travelled, the road is worth taking because it just make all the difference in one's live and initiate meaningful change in the lives of people. The authors emphasize that innovation is an investment for individuals and companies alike. The chapter sums up with a provocative thought "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are ones who do. So, just do it. Do it now."
There are Three Appendices at the end which capture the sample of innovators interviewed, the Innovator's DNA inductive research methodology - and how to develop strong discovery skills in individuals, in the next generation, in the homes and neighborhood. The authors share a final call for action to adopt a young innovator, at least one child, and help hone his innovation skills, the only way to nurture our future by a new generation of disruptive innovators.
A critical insight from the author's research is that one's ability to generate innovative ideas is not merely the function of the mind, but also a function of behaviors. What sets this book apart and makes it hard to put down is its simple, conversational narrative and the way it dismantles the commonly held ivory tower notion of innovation and puts the focus on how innovation is relevant for all, and how it can be practiced with ease, not just the business, but even for the common man or even the children and how it can play a vital role in bringing up societal progress and nurturing our future.
The only thing which could have been better in the book is The authors' final call for action dwells on an appeal to adopting young innovators, finding at least one child, and helping him/her appreciate and strengthen the innovative skills, the great way to bring in a difference to the world around us. Indeed, a book that makes you more resolute to the larger human cause. Indeed, if we don't collectively nurture the next generation of disruptive innovators, in our homes in our neighborhood who will?
The book makes one reminiscent of a quote by the founder of one of the most innovative companies of the world IBM, Thomas J. Watson who said, "All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work." Indeed, this book is a gripping work, a great leveler to stimulate innovation across the spectrum, in all walks of life.
Are we ready to tread this path, venture into the realm of unanswered queries of humankind and unravel the mysteries?
Let's just do it. The time to act is now...

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Reconstitute Your DNA,
Mahboob Mahmood (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators (Hardcover)
I now pick up and read, as a matter of course, anything published by either Hal Gregersen or Clayton Christensen. I felt, accordingly, doubly compelled to read a book collaboratively written by Gregersen and Christensen. The Innovator's DNA is a must-read for anyone who aspires to be innovative.
The book provides insights into the principal five practices shared by innovators. While the practices highlighted are not surprising (Associating, Questioning, Observing, Networking and Experimenting), each practice is rendered highly accessible through examples, and, indeed, almost a mini-taxonomy.
How many times have we been told that innovators are inveterate questioners? Well, this book tells you about the types of questions innovators ask and provides concrete examples of each type of question.
Read the book once to acquire the overall idea, then use it as a reference guide. "Truth," as Nietzsche said, "Approaches on the feet of doves."

3.0 out of 5 stars Common sense, like many other books,
This review is from: The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators (Hardcover)
The content is nothing but common. Chapters 1-6 are ok but the rest is redundant. If you consider yourself at the absolute low end of the spectrum on innovation then this book is a definite read. If you consider yourself at least average avoid buying the book. Just read the title of the chapters and the rest you can figure out yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Necessity,
This review is from: The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators (Hardcover)
The Innovator's DNA is a necessary read for both those tying to build innovation capabilities and those who are confident in their current abilities.
For those trying to become innovative: The authors really break down the way to approach innovation individually, in a corporation, and even at home--giving tips and practice points along the way. I regularly talk about the book's contents with coworkers, clients, family, and friends. I have taken suggestions from each chapter, implemented them, and seen direct results in the form of new business ideas, ways to tweak business models, better networks, and simply a better understanding of the world around me.
For those who are already innovators: The book outlines 5 general skills of an innovator. Furthermore, it highlights real innovators who demonstrate each skill. One interesting point is that not every innovator has every skill mastered. Well known innovator Michael Dell ranks high as an experimenter (one of the 5 skills) but lower on some of the other skills. It is likely that your innovation abilities stem from one or two of the highlighted skills, too. Why not take this chance to bolster the other ingredients of innovation and become even better?
Overall, the style and content of the book make it an obvious 5-star read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Developing Innovation,
This review is from: The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators (Hardcover)
This book is a great addition to the "Innovator's Library". If you have read the Innovator's Dilemma, Solution, Prescription, etc., then you will truly appreciate the Innovator's DNA. I have often wondered what innovative qualities have empowered Steve Jobs or Clayton Christensen, and this book does an excellent job of pin pointing some key innovative characteristics. In addition, it allows the reader to self evaluate his or her innovative capability, and then make the needed adjustments to become more innovative.
Whether you are a Wall Street executive, a newly graduated university student, or an eclectic entrepreneur, you will find this book extremely helpful in improving and establishing your innovative capacity. A great purchase for all those who would like to understand our generation's innovative minds, and then to further your quest to become an innovator.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read and research. But what about daily application for regular people?,
Stephen Collins (Canberra, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators (Hardcover)
The research piece behind this book might be the next thing I read, as I'm intrigued by the academic rigor applied.
The reveal and living examples of the five skills - questioning, networking, experimenting, observing and associating - are tangible and approachable given their articulation through well-known and highly visible entrepreneurs running innovative companies. There's much to be gleaned by looking at the way these people behave and, even through simple emulation, enhancing one's own skills.
My only real disappointment with the book is its limited approach to practical, daily application for those not yet at the top of the tree. It's rather a different kettle of fish for the innovation-minded, but stuck in bureaucracy, worker who wants to make things better, is still motivated, and hasn't been crushed by the machine. How does that person actively innovate? And, in some cases, get away with it? This book (or an accompanying volume) focussing on daily, in-work, innovation would be useful.

Homemade Canadian bacon (peameal)
Cold, Hard Football Facts for Apr 16, 2006
You might remember that Cold, Hard Football Facts sud stud Lew Bryson went to Ontario in March 2006 and filled his ample belly with all kinds of Canadian specialties, including peameal – something Americans know better as Canadian bacon.
As luck would have it – and believe you us, we're often lucky when it comes to finding food – the Chief Troll Kerry was out soon afterward at the Blue Frog Bakery in Boston stocking up on carbs when he got to talking with the owner, a fella named Brad Brown.
Brown, it turns out, is from Toronto. Not only was he familiar with peameal, Brown had some in his refrigerator! He made it himself, because he couldn't find any good peameal in the States (that's a picture of a pile of peameal there).
He was kind enough to share the recipe for homemade peameal with us, and now we're sharing it with you. Once your peameal is complete, you can make your own peameal sandwiches at home or when tailgating before the game.
Here's what you need:
- 1 large pork loin, up to 5 pounds
- 1 gallon cold water
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup salt
- 1 handful of whole peppercorns
- Cornmeal
Create a brine by mixing the salt and sugar in the cold water in a large, non-reactive container. A ceramic crock is perfect for brining meats. Toss in the peppercorns. The pork loin can be cut into smaller pieces of about 1 pound if desired. Add the pork to the brine and make sure it's covered completely (you can use a heavy piece of wood to hold it down). Store it in a cool, dark place for 24 hours. Remove the meat and then roll it into cornmeal to give it a crust. Wrap the peameal in plastic wrap and store in your refrigerator. It can also be put in freezer paper or plastic freezer bag and stored frozen.
By the way, feel free to experiment with your brine. As long as you have enough salt to cure the meat, you should be O.K. But try more or less sugar, different spices, whatever catches your fancy. Brining is as much art as science.
When it comes time to eat, make a peameal sandwich by frying or steaming slices of the pork loin and serving it between on fresh Kaiser roles. That's how it's often eaten in Canada. You can also use the slices in breakfast sandwiches, with your eggs or in any other dish that calls for a little cured pork.

Mayo Signs Deal with Shriners, Consolidates Two Hospitals
Healthcare economist Adam Powell says he believes the two initiatives are being driven by "somewhat different motives."
"The Shriners initiative is about increasing revenue, while the hospital integration is about reducing variability in quality measures," says Powell, president of Payer + Provider Syndicate, a Boston-based consulting firm.
"The participation of Shriners in the Mayo Clinic Care Network is beneficial for Mayo, in that it provides an additional customer for the eConsults and AskMayoExpert services. This move would have been advantageous for Mayo under any circumstances, but has likely been facilitated by recent technological advances and greater acceptance of telemedicine. The general trend towards greater use of evidence-based medicine has likely also motivated Shriners to adopt the AskMayoExpert service."
"The integration of Saint Marys and Methodist Hospitals within the Mayo system represents an effort to reduce costs and red tape, in light of growing hospital regulation and reporting requirements," Powell says. "By combining quality data from two hospitals, Mayo will have data representing a larger population, and as a result will have less random variation in outcomes. Given that value-based contracts are tied to quality outcomes, it is vital for Mayo to do everything that it can to reduce random variation. As hospital systems transition towards value-based payment, we may see more efforts to stabilize metrics."

What are you using to image the PCs, and what error message are you getting?
Keep running into problems with sysprep, I have tried now 3 or 4 times to get a capture image from a laptop, and im very much getting sick of sysprep IT DOESN'T WORK always gives me an error message when windows is doing its first start up and bassically I have to rebuild the machine and try again, well to be honest im kinda getting sick of spending a morning rebuilding this laptop with the same software over and over again, to be faced with sysprep failing on me again and again and again.
Is there any alternative to sysprep? is there something I am doing wrong? is sysprep supposed to just 'work'?
Any guidance much appreciated.
What are you using to image the PCs, and what error message are you getting?
Sounds like the problem where it just keeps going through a cycle and will not work after until you rebuild.
As a course of action i would rebuild your image until you have it the way you want and then take an image of that without the sysprep so that if it fails you dont have to rebuild it again.
As for the error what OS are you building for as it may help with solving the problem.
If you want to capture and deploy a Windows image then yes you need to use Sysprep.
A good idea is to build the machine and take an image *before* you sysprep, that way if the sysprep fails then you can restore the pre-sysprep image and avoid rebuilding the image.
Post the error for us to have a look at.
Last edited by sparkeh; 23rd June 2011 at 05:11 PM.
^^^ What sparkeh said - I've been prepping my image today, and I always take a snapshot before I actually sysprep. Also, with VLK you don't have to rearm the activation so you can sysprep the machine as many times as you want (as opposed to 3 times on OEM machines).
As for problems with sysprep, it's always just worked for me, but post the error and we might be able to help.
To save yourself having to rebuild every time, install a Virtualisation package like ESXI on a spare machine. That way you can build your image on that and snapshot it before you sysprep it. If it fails, you just revert the snapshot.
My master Windows 7 image is done like this, whenever I want to update it I revert to pre sysprep, make my changes, snapshot it again and sysprep. It's so, so much Win
I do it with an external hard drive and Acronis, but there are a number of ways to achieve it - easiest is the VM/snapshot method above though!
might be worth posting your sysprep file incase anyone can see any obvious errors
So that way you can take an image of an unsysprepped machine and keep applying that image back to the original machine and take sysrepped images to apply to other machines.
If your trying to capture an image of a Windows 7 pc, I found that you must use a domain administrator account to run sysprep - if you log in locally, we get stuck into this endless loop, like the one that you talk about.
We had loads of problems getting sysprep to work.
What we found was that the machine had to be fully patched and that it had not to have a restore partition.
What we had to do was wipe the machine completely including all partitions and then reinstall from dvd with all programs and it worked ok.
I spent about two weeks working out my sysprep and unattend xml files. Just so were on the same page.
When you are deploying W7 you are using an unattend xml yes (sysprep.inf is for XP deployment)? If you like, i can post up an example for you to see. 'Il highlight the changes to be made for you'. Its a very basic xml but lets me select the image i want and walk away. Come back 25 minutes later its sat at the logon screen.
I use an ext HDD and CD ghostboot to capture my master image before sysprepping! (Just my 2p)
Let me know if you want it and il post up. Dont give up on, when its working its great!
We found that we have to dis-join the machine from the domain (i.e. stick it on a workgroup) before we take the sysprep image. Otherwise we get failures during the generalize phase and it screws everything up! Doing this has cured a lot of problems. You can use the unattend.xml file to rejoin the machines to the domain after imaging
