design research cycle
The passion de jour of my epic struggle with the phd involves coming up with some coherent and consistent description of what you might call a methodlogical framework.
Words (alone) fail me, so I resort to sketch. Does this diagram make sense? Is it useful?
(This is version 2. Version 1 is here)

My other blog is a mess. This one is where I'll keep the stuff that has anything to do with learning, technology and design.
The name
Its about stuff that's designed for learning, but also about we are designed for learning by the intelligent process of evolution.

Change is the order of the day in China, but the country's transformation from closed society to consumerist hub has one unexpected byproduct: rock'n'roll. Welcome to Beijing, where a long-simmering underground scene is finally coming to a boil.
Author SIMON LEWIS
AGAINST A WALL OF NOISE — all rumbling drums and grinding guitars — a skinny singer contorts himself around a microphone stand, his feet planted wide apart. It's not just a pose: it helps him keep his footing on a tiny stage made treacherous by pedals, cables and other band members. The venue, a place called D22, is full of cigarette smoke and smells like stale beer. Enraptured kids raise their sweaty faces to the stage; they're packed in so tight they can't dance, only bounce up and down. It's a standard rock tableau, save for one thing: It's happening in the heart of Beijing. And the band onstage, Carsick Cars, are the masters of a rebellious idiom that might have seemed unimaginable not long ago: Chinese rock 'n' roll.
Carsick Cars' post-punk sound is lo-fi, with strident lyrics in English and Chinese barked over choppy guitar riffs. When they launch into their closing number, the anthemic "Zhongnanhai," fans hurl cigarettes at the stage. The song takes its title from a cigarette brand, but it's also the name of the Communist Party compound in Beijing, making the song's meaning teasingly ambiguous. Lead singer Zhang Xiao Wang yells, "I only smoke Zhongnanhai!" and coaxes a final squall of feedback from his guitar, and with that, the band steps offstage while the young crowd screams for more.
Much has been made of the new cultural crossovers that have been happening in China, as it gradually opens to the world and transforms into an economic powerhouse, but few of these are more striking than the Beijing rock scene. To a Western visitor, it's familiar but strange, international yet distinctly Chinese. After years underground, Chinese rock 'n' roll is exploding, and like so much coming out of China, the music is ready for, and worthy of, far wider attention.
After the Carsick Cars gig, hundreds of kids spill into the dark street. They're hip, urban, confident. They may be in the shadows now, but their time is coming.
CARSICK CARS' RECORD LABEL, Maybe Mars, is run out of a suburban high-rise apartment done in the middle-class Chinese style, with faux-classical detailing and overstuffed floral-print furniture. In other words, it doesn't exactly scream rock 'n' roll. Neither does Carsick Cars frontman Xiao Wang. In person, he comes across as polite and collegiate, neatly dressed in jeans, shirt and Converse sneakers. He apologizes for being late for our interview, explaining he was up most of the night singing karaoke.
Xiao Wang first heard Western rock and punk from so-called dakou, or "cut," CDs: waste music discs exported from the West to China to be recycled, with each nicked at the edge. This was supposed to make them unplayable, but in most cases only the last track was lost. These cut discs, with their alien but alluring sounds, were eagerly collected, with "dakou" coming to mean all forms of Westernized, underground youth culture.
In 2005, there was little precedent for a rock band in China, says Xiao Wang — just a few heavy-metal groups and, of course, the lone pioneer now seen as the godfather of Chinese rock, Cui Jian, whose 1986 song "Nothing to My Name" became the anthem of post-Tiananmen urban angst (and prompted a party official to wonder, "How can you say you have nothing to your name? You've got the Communist Party, haven't you?").
"When we started, there was no possibility of success," says Xiao Wang, whose band has now toured with Sonic Youth and played South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. There was no infrastructure for Carsick Cars' uncompromising music, no chance of money and not much of an audience. Their first song was a cover of the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog," which they'd heard on a dakou disc. It went down badly, as did everything else they attempted: "We'd play gigs to three people, and two of them would go home annoyed," he says.
Xiao Wang describes touring the country in a van and experiencing more profound culture shock in rural China — dour venues, noisy chickens keeping him up all night — than he would on later trips to the West. Still, Carsick Cars persisted, their following snowballed and now those hundreds of hours of gigging are paying off. As with the dozen or so top Beijing bands, Carsick Cars are notable for tight musicianship and explosive performances. Onstage they're confident, creating a sea of distortion and pulling a catchy tune out of it, drawing apt comparisons to their heroes Sonic Youth and the Velvet Underground.
Most important, though, they're making a measurable cultural impact. Xiao Wang tells me about last night's karaoke session, a birthday party for the drummer. When browsing through the machine, they found one of their own songs. "It is good," he says with a bashful smile, "to feel that we are getting out there."
Of course, there are some unique problems that come with being a band here — chiefly, censorship. All bands have to submit their lyrics for approval to the Ministry of Culture, which can mete out punishments for speaking on sensitive subjects like drug use, sex and politics. Still, apart from the unexplained last-minute cancellation of the Midi music festival in 2008, the rock scene hasn't experienced much government interference.
It does, however, require an interesting balancing act. Like most of his contemporaries, Xiao Wang sings in both English and Chinese. "English because it's direct, and Chinese because it's poetic," he says. The Chinese language is ambiguous and laden with allusion, which is very useful for a lyricist, particularly one in China. (When asked what the song "Zhongnanhai" is about, he says it's simple: "cigarettes.") But Xiao Wang does not have an explicit outlaw agenda; his attitude is one of intelligent skepticism. He professes wariness at the consumerism spreading across China, but, unlike most critics, does not see the solution in a return to traditional values. "We just want to encourage critical thinking," he says. It's an attitude hinted at by the subtly provocative title of Carsick Cars' 2009 album, You Can Listen, You Can Talk.
Despite recent success, neither these kids nor their contemporaries are getting rich. Because of rampant illegal downloading, their only opportunities to make money are gigging and selling T-shirts. Xiao Wang is almost unique in being able — just — to make a living from rock music. By contrast, bassist He Fan is studying at Beijing Agricultural College, and has to ask his tutors for time off when the band tours.
Even the owner of Carsick Cars' record label and the club D22 has to hold down a day job. Michael Pettis, an American expat who works as an economics professor at elite Peking University, is the impresario of the Chinese rock scene, a role he relishes. Perched on the edge of one of his voluminous armchairs, he cheerfully rattles off all the ways he's losing money. But it's not about the money, he says — it's about the buzz. Pettis compares the scene to the counterculture that shook up the West in the '60s. China has changed so fast that the generation gap is huge, he says. Middle-aged folk grew up with Mao suits, the Little Red Book and austerity; their kids are subsumed in a flashy consumer culture that celebrates individuality and gratification. The Internet and rising generational expectations have created restless youth, thirsty for their own forms of self-expression to help them make their own sense of the world.
Enter rock 'n' roll. "The older generation and the mainstream media simply have no idea what's going on here," says Pettis. "These bands get no radio play, they're never on TV and no one dares sponsor them. Yet they're filling venues night after night." What he likes best about the Chinese scene is its freshness: Since there's no indigenous history for these musicians to refer to, they're making it up as they go along. And they're refreshingly accessible. "If you want to go backstage and talk to a band, it's not a problem," says Pettis, who describes buying a singer a drink and winding up hanging out with the guy all night. And, he adds, because everyone got involved for the love of music, with no prospect of fame or money, there are none of the pretensions and hangers-on that you might find in equivalent scenes in the West.
Chinese rock's newfound popularity has brought changes. Bands suddenly have many more places to play, including new venues with decent sound, and music festivals are popping up all over the country. In the latter case, Pettis explains, the government has actually played a role in supporting the scene: It gives cultural funds to local arts bureaucrats, who can then decide to spend the money on, say, a poetry reading that attracts a dozen people or a music festival that brings 5,000. And since a bigger audience means a bigger budget for the local arts department next year, the advantage is on rock's side.
AS THE MUSIC SPREADS, Beijing is serving as the center of the scene. Impoverished musicians in love with the rock 'n' roll dream are turning up in the capital at a prodigious rate. Hundreds now live in Shucun village on the city's outskirts, most of them on almost nothing, hoping to break through, maybe tap into some of the sponsorship deals being offered by Western corporations like Converse. Xiao Wang is typical in expressing ambivalence about all this; as well as the dangers of commercialization and selling out, he's concerned about becoming too noticeable. But the fact is, that seems inevitable. The word is out.
The following night, I catch rock 'n' roll Mongolian throat singers at one venue and a thrash-metal band at another. While it's hard to speak of a "Beijing sound," the musicians themselves have much in common: a sheer bloody-mindedness that's required when taking an ill-understood path in a conservative country, and a richly complicated relationship with the city itself. In that regard Beijing mirrors New York and London during their own rock renaissances. As Yang Haisong of the band P.K. 14 puts it, "There is a pressure here. You feel the politics in the air. But that's good for songwriting — it gives you something to kick against."
Xiao Wang is more down-to-earth. "This is where you have to be," he says. "It's where things happen."
SIMON LEWIS, a Welsh journalist and crime novelist whose latest book is titled Bad Traffic, is pleased to live in a part of south London that's had a great song written about it: "The Guns of Brixton," by the Clash.
QUEEN SEA BIG SHARK: Buzzing guitars and a hard-edged, funky sound make this fun, colorful group, fronted by the glamorous Fu Han, one of the capital's most distinctive.
HEDGEHOG: Melodic indie popsters with bite, they boast a pint-size girl drummer, Atom, who's the star of the show. Check out their 2011 release, Honeyed and Killed.
HANGGAI: Another stellar live band, they deliver Mongolian folk songs with rock 'n' roll attitude while performing in traditional dress.
P.K. 14: These spiky, post-punk intellectuals have been going since 1997, making them elder statesmen of the scene. Their best album is City Weather Sailing. Live, they're a force of nature.
you might want to update some names here too – it's Zhong Nan Hai and Zhang Shou Wang
subs – it's 'zhongnanhai', not 'zhongmanhai'. Otherwise, great job. Thanks, Simon

It didn't take long for Fire forward Collins John to net his first MLS goal. John, who made his first-ever league start Saturday at the Colorado Rapids, found the back of the net in the 26th minute when he outmuscled a defender before coolly heading a Marco Pappa corner kick past Colorado 'keeper Matt Pickens.
And while John's goal wasn't enough to give the Fire their first win of the year—they tied the Rapids 2-2—it was an encouraging sign for Chicago's attack. The Fire's offense was anemic in last week's loss to New York, and Saturday's two-goal performance in Colorado was certainly a positive change.
"The Rapids are a very good team and it is very difficult to win here," Fire head coach Carlos de los Cobos said. "I'm satisfied with the work of the players. I'm only happy when we win, but I'm satisfied."
John, who was very active in his first MLS start, was a big reason for the Fire's improved play in the attacking third. He put his speed, strength and finishing ability on display and—if his first two games are any indication—he'll have a very solid debut season.
Despite the better play, the Fire attack has room for improvement. They capitalized on their chances on Saturday, but they need to create more opportunities. Neither of the Fire's goals came from open play (forward Brian McBride converted a penalty kick for the Fire's second goal) and—just like last week—the attack was slow out of the gate.
Defensively, the Fire looked average. Standout central defender Wilman Conde missed the game with a left foot contusion, but that is no excuse for the lack of pressure Colorado forward Omar Cummings faced in the 13th minute when he fired home the first goal of the match.
Cummings received the ball with his back to goal about 25 yards from net, took a heavy touch, turned, and ripped an excellent shot past Fire keeper Andrew Dykstra. Never in that sequence did any Fire defender make an effort to step up to the dangerous Jamaican striker. Needless to say, Cummings took full advantage of the time and space.
Like their teammates in the attack, the Fire defenders also came out of the gates a little bit slow. The Rapids had several near misses in the first half—midfielders Jeff Larentowicz and Mehdi Ballouchy each put a long distance shot just wide of the post—and they could have easily finished the game with more than two goals. However, the backline clamped down in the second half, severely limiting Colorado's chances.
"The first half they were pressing us and we were giving turnovers; we can't give them that," Patrick Nyarko said. "In the second half we started playing some long [balls] and it opened them up a little bit. We found that balance we needed."
Defenders Krzysztof Krol and Kwame Watson-Siriboe joined John in making their first league starts Saturday. Both acquitted themselves nicely in their first MLS games. Krol looked quick and strong in defense and showed a proclivity to get up the left flank. Rookie center back Watson-Siriboe didn't show any signs of jitters and handled Colorado's dynamic forward duo of Cummings and Conor Casey well.
"Usually we tried to have myself go up for the head balls and have C.J. [Brown] get the knockdowns before they reach Omar [Cummings]," Watson-Siriboe said. "We play it positionally, we interchange, and we don't do man marking."
The Fire should be content with Saturday's result. Their play was better than it was in New York and a tie isn't a bad result at Colorado, where the Fire has always had trouble winning. However, it's important that the Fire continues to build on their play through training this week, as anything less than a win in next week's home opener against San Jose would be a big disappointment.

Jim Caruk is a man on a mission, one that is keeping him busy behind the scenes.
It may be hard to imagine the charismatic star of HGTV's Real Renos and Builder Boss not being front and centre on your TV screens, but as Car-uk puts it, "I make my living in the construction business, not on TV."
That is not to say Caruk, the master contractor and celebrity headliner at the 2013 Renovation Show, doesn't like doing television.
It's just that TV isn't Job 1 for him, despite a successful seven-season run on Real Renos (2002 to 2009), followed by last year's Builder Boss, which chronicled the work done on 13 different residential construction and renovation projects.
"Shooting Builder Boss was a feat in itself. It was 18 months of shooting and it took a lot out of us. It was tough," says Caruk, adding that he doesn't normally take on so many projects in such a relatively short span of time.
Job 1 for Caruk is his construction business, which begat his TV career, which in turn allowed him to bring his mission - supporting the trades and the consumers who use them - to fruition.
"TV, I kind of fell into it," says Caruk. "I love doing it but if I come back I want to make sure the show is who I am and I want you (the viewer) to get something out it, and for it to be the most realistic point of view that TV will let us show. I'm not interested in who can do the fastest basement; it's not what I am about. It's not what I do. If I can't bring you anything of value then it's not worth doing."
But Caruk fans need not despair. He is working on a new show. However, since it hasn't been finalized there are no details about the show, when it will air, or even what network it will appear on.
That doesn't mean Caruk isn't busy. In fact, he has his hands full as he transforms his mission into reality: he's advocating for the need for new blood in the construction industry as well as trying to make the residential building sector a better place.
"By the time 2025 comes by, we'll be about half a million to 750,000 short of trades (people). The average tradesperson is about 55 or 56 and there's not a whole lot behind us," says Caruk.
"We're going out of country to bring skilled people in when we have a lot of young people who don't know what they want to do. Let them go to a trade school, and these guys will pretty much be able to write their own ticket moneywise."
TV, in part through interest derived from shows like those on HGTV, is helping to draw some into the industry, says Caruk, but he notes that isn't enough. When he can, he takes his message to pertinent forums to raise awareness and see what can be done.
When it comes to construction professionals, Caruk created and is editor-in-chief of Renovation Contractor magazine, a trade publication written by and for Canada's small-and medium-sized home renovators to tackle issues that are important to them.
Then there are the Build it Yourself (BiY) Learning Centres.
Already launched in Toronto, with more locations to come online in 2013, the BiYs are an interactive, practical learning forum, delivering hands-on skills and safety know-how to homeowners wanting to complete their own small projects.
"It's just Ontario now. Our five-year plan has always been to expand it across Canada and it may go a little quicker than we think," says Caruk.
And if that isn't enough, there's the Renos for Heroes foundation he established to raise funds to cover home renovations for disabled military service people whose houses no longer function properly for them.
"I've really been focusing a lot of my time by giving time back to the industry," says Caruk.
"I enjoy what I do."

MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. – After struggling to find the back of the net in its first four games, the King University women's soccer team earned its first victory on the strength of a second-half goal by Devon Shanklin and brilliant goalkeeping by Nicole Dagher.
The Tornado (1-4) were locked in an scoreless struggle with Milligan College (2-5-1) as the game progressed into the second half. In the 61st minute, a hard foul just outside the penalty area allowed King's Paula Doran and Lindsay Curtis to line up over the ball for a free kick. Doran faked, then Curtis sent a blistering shot over the wall and in front of the goal. The ball deflected off a number of players before Devon Shanklin pushed it into the net, setting off a wild celebration along the King sideline.
The lead would have evaporated had goalkeeper Nicole Dagher not made a number of spectacular saves. Just one minute after Shanklin gave the Tornado a 1-0 advantage, the King back line forced a shot in traffic that was deflected on what appeared to be an ideal goal-scoring opportunity. In the 75th minute, Milligan's Caroline Gill fired a one-timer from 20 yards out on the right side, but Dagher made a perfect read and deflected the ball just wide of the net on a full dive to her right. In all, Dagher would make five second half saves, including three in a two-minute span.
The game passed relatively uneventfully in the first 45 minutes, with both teams struggling to mount serious scoring chance and combining for just four shots on goal. King's best scoring opportunity came in a two-minute span late in the half when the Tornado were only able to muster a deflected shot from four consecutive corner kick opportunities.
Milligan nearly took a 1-0 lead as the period ended. The Buffaloes were awarded a free kick from 25 yards out, and Christine Hardin placed a shot on frame that Dagher stifled as time expired.
In contrast to the first 45 minutes, both teams played the second half at a frenetic pace. Shanklin's goal was the culmination of a 12-minute barrage that saw the Tornado take seven shots, including five on frame. In the midst of that span came another spectacular Dagher save off a Buffaloes corner kick that would have given Milligan the lead.
Just 56 seconds before Shanklin's goal, Rachel Thorpe nearly gave King the lead. Thorpe fired a shot from outside the penalty area that appeared destined to find the net just below the crossbar. But Milligan goalkeeper Lauren McInturff made the most brilliant of her six saves on the evening, leaping to deflect the ball just over the crossbar and prevent Thorpe from scoring for the second time this season.
The Tornado were outshot 17-14 in the contest, and Milligan held a slight 8-7 advantage in shots on goal. Shanklin and Thorpe combined for 10 shots, six of them on frame, in the contest.
"I was very happy with how we dug deep to get this win," said head coach Simon Duffy. "We stressed two things before the game: let's put some of the chances away that we're going to get, but also not to concede, to be mentally strong and dig deep. You saw that with five minutes to go. They were pushing and pushing and pushing, and we did a great job just to keep them at bay."
King will next face Pfeiffer at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday in the Conference Carolinas opener for both teams.

"As our society changes, so too must our institutions," Heritage Minister James Moore said Thursday as he outlined what he called "common-sense" changes.
"This legislation will mean that the Crown will remain an institution that is adapted to current values."
The bill follows an agreement among Commonwealth countries where the Queen is head of state to change the outdated tradition that favoured male heirs over their older sisters.
Each country promised to legislate changes to give females equal status and end a 300-year-old rule that bans the monarch from marriage to a Roman Catholic.
In 2011, British Prime Minister David Cameron wrote to Commonwealth leaders telling them he planned to make these changes and asking for their agreement.
He introduced the required legislation in the British Parliament in December.
The issue took on more urgency with the news that Prince William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are expecting their first child.
The legislation means that the child, girl or boy, will be next in line for the throne after William. It also removes a prohibition that banned an heir from marrying a Roman Catholic.
"These changes mean that if the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is a girl, she will be able to accede to the throne and will be in a position to marry someone of another faith," Moore said.
The changes could raise constitutional questions, however.
Moore said the bill must pass Parliament, but isn't a constitutional amendment and doesn't require provincial assent.
"This change does not require any modification to the Canadian Constitution, given that the rules of succession are part of U.K. legislation," he said.
But Philippe Lagasse, an assistant professor of public and international affairs at the University of Ottawa, said the government should have at least consulted the provinces. In Australia, the prime minister discussed the matter with that country's state leaders, Lagasse said.
"I fully understand why the government didn't do it; it's time-consuming, it's controversial," but provincial assent, whether explicit or implied, is the way to go, he said.
Moore said the government hasn't had any objections from the provinces.
"Our government signalled back in 2011 that we were planning to make these changes ... we've heard no opposition."
Lagasse also found fault with Moore's argument that the succession is a matter of British law and Canada is merely assenting to the changes.
"The bill could have been crafted in such a way to amend the Canadian line of succession in an explicit manner as opposed to simply assenting to the British law," he said.

Love Topshop Nail Polishes….a lot. I just find them really easy to apply, they dry fairly quickly, they last well on me and they're not too dear.
They also happen to have some really nice shades too, from neutrals to brights to classics – and these super cute foiled effect metallics too!
These shades are made for Christmas! They are called Eyes of Steel (silver) and Glimmer (gold):
They have a really lovely foiled look to them. Something about these kind of polishes are quite foolproof in that, they're light enough so that chips and smudges are not as apparent!
I am really anal about my nail polish; if there's a slight imperfection I end up taking it off instead!
I love these two shades – really pretty finish, fun without looking too obvious once it's on:
Eyes of steel is described as a metallic puple – to me it's more silver but the purple edge is there and it's really pretty.
I applied two coats here to the swatches. I think I like Eyes of Steel the most but overall, both are worthy purchases. They're £6 each from Topshop.
What do you think of these polishes?

Obama on NSA programs: Americans "not getting the complete story"
Americans outraged by leaked information about two top-secret government surveillance programs are "not getting the complete story," President Obama told Charlie Rose in a PBS interview recorded Sunday for air Monday night - and the intelligence community is working on filling in the holes.
One "legitimate critique" of the National Security Agency programs designed to track suspected terrorists by culling U.S. phone records and mining data from the servers of major Internet companies, the president conceded, is that because they're classified, "the public may not fully" understand them. "That can make the public kind of nervous, right?" he said. "Because they say, 'Well, Obama says it's OK, or Congress says it's OK. I don't know who this judge is. I'm nervous about it.'
"What I've asked the intelligence community to do is see how much of this we can declassify without further compromising the program," the president continued. "And they are in that process of doing so now so that everything that I'm describing to you today - people, the public, newspapers, etc., can look at. Because frankly, if people are making judgments just based on these slides that have been leaked, they're not getting the complete story."
Mr. Obama said he wanted to clarify once and for all that "if you're a U.S. person, then NSA is not listening to your phone calls, and it's not targeting your emails, unless it's getting an individualized court order." Though he suggested the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court hasn't turned down any requests by the FBI to wiretap a suspect, he assured it's because "folks don't go with a query unless they've got a pretty good suspicion."
"It is transparent - that's why we set up the FISA court," the president said, arguing the oversight he's constructed around the programs void newfound comparisons between his surveillance reach and the Bush administration's.
"Some people say, 'Well, you know, Obama was this raving liberal before. Now he's, you know, Dick Cheney.' Dick Cheney sometimes says, 'Yeah, you know? He took it all lock, stock and barrel.' My concern has always been not that we shouldn't do intelligence gathering to prevent terrorism, but rather are we setting up a system of checks and balances?
"So on this telephone program," he went on, "you've got a federal court with independent federal judges overseeing the entire program. And you've got Congress overseeing the program - not just the intelligence committee and not just the judiciary committee - but all of Congress had available to it before the last reauthorization exactly how this program works."
- Dick Cheney defends NSA surveillance programs
- Snowden: U.S. gov't destroyed my chance for fair trial
But even with proper oversight, Mr. Obama said, it's a matter of give and take. Citing drunk-driving checkpoints and airport security, which "may be intrusive" at times, he argued: "To say there's a tradeoff doesn't mean somehow that we've abandoned freedom; I don't think anybody says we're no longer free because we have checkpoints at airports."
"...We have to make decisions about how much classified information and how much covert activity we are willing to tolerate as a society," he said.

Journey to a world of undersea magicians, masters of disguise and quick-change artists. Our special exhibition is the largest, most diverse living exhibit ever created to showcase these amazing animals. You won't believe your eyes.
In this Exhibit
We try to keep this list as up to date as possible but please check with the information desk when you arrive for a current list of animals on exhibit.
What are Cephalopods?
Octopuses, squid, cuttlefishes and nautiluses are marine molluscs, related to snails and slugs. They're found in the world's ocean and at all depths. They can be colorful or transparent and range in size from less than an inch to more than 50 feet. More than 800 species of cephalopods have been identified. These animals share a similar body plan that includes a head and eyes, a mantle and siphon, arms and tentacles, a beak and a file-like radula.
only have arms
(eight of them)
only have tentacles
(up to 100 of them!)
have eight arms + two retractable tentacles
have eight arms + two retractable tentacles
The Art of Adapting
Quick-Change Artists
Octopuses, squid and cuttlefishes create an amazing array of colors, patterns, textures and shapes for camouflage and communication. Chromatophores—color organs made of nerves and muscles and tiny sacs of pigment—transform these animals as they hide from predators or hunt for prey.
Clever Hunters
Squid and cuttlefishes use mesmerizing color changes to lure or confuse prey, then they snatch a snack using two long tentacles. Octopuses catch their prey by surprise, using camouflage, jet propulsion and the sure grip that comes with having eight arms.
Movers and Shakers
Some cephalopods lumber along the seafloor, crawling or walking. Others use jet propulsion, filling their muscular bodies with water, then squirting it from tubular siphons. Some animals use a combination of these methods to move through the water.

Reds lose challenge, but win game-ending review
After out call at home stands, Cueto caps complete game on overturned play
CLEVELAND -- The Reds were hoping to bolster an already commanding lead in Tuesday night's 9-2 win over the Indians at Progressive Field, but an unsuccessful manager challenge kept an additional run off the board.
In the ninth inning, Kris Negron roped a bases-loaded triple to right that scored Todd Frazier and Ryan Ludwick to make it 9-2. Catcher Brayan Pena also came around third and slid into home plate, but umpire Greg Gibson ruled that Pena had been thrown out by Tribe shortstop Jose Ramirez.
Cincinnati manager Bryan Price challenged the play, and after review, the umpires ruled that the play would stand as called.
That wasn't the end of the replay story for the night, though, as the game ended after a safe call at first that was overturned by crew chief review.
With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, David Murphy looked to have beaten a throw to first for an infield single and was ruled safe. But Price asked for a crew chief review, as he was out of challenges. He was granted the request, and the call was overturned, giving Johnny Cueto a complete game.

Oct. 7 CC Sabathia postgame interview
Q. You talked yesterday about how tough the middle of their order is. Can you take us through the eighth inning after the lead‑off double and what your approach was there and how you got through that inning?
CC SABATHIA: Just tried to make pitches. You know, had the lead‑off double by J.J., and Adam Jones had been taking some good swings all night, so I was just trying to keep him off balance. Ended up getting him with a cutter. Joe came out and asked if I wanted to put Wieters on to face the next two guys and I felt like Reynolds had been having some good at‑bats this game and the last, so I just wanted to Wieters and try to get two outs and hopefully get a ground out like I did or just get Reynolds to hit the ball at somebody, and it ended up working out.
Q. The Orioles had hit you fairly well this year. Did you come into this game with a bit of a different game plan how you would attack them?
CC SABATHIA: I wish I could tell you I change my game plan but I don't. I pitch to my strength, attacking in, and just going off my fastball command, and it was working today. The changeup was working really well. These guys know what I am trying to do. I've faced them a lot. I was able just to execute tonight.
Q. You guys have watched Russell struggle with the bat a lot this year. How good do you feel for him coming up with that kind of a hit not only for himself but for the team?
CC SABATHIA: It's awesome. He's struggled all year, but his attitude has never changed. He's come up with some big hits in September, and that was probably one of the biggest there. Obviously, it was the biggest one of the season so far. His attitude has been awesome, even with his struggles, and it's not surprising because he works hard.
Q. At the end of that eighth you kind of had a big fist pump as you watched Jeter make that throw over. It was a pretty tight game obviously. That inning, was that the big spot for you to get out of there with the lead‑off double?
CC SABATHIA: Definitely. Having a run off second with no outs in the bottom of the eighth was huge, and being able to get out of that with a tie and give us a chance to get up and score some runs, which we did, was just a big spot. I normally try not to show a lot of emotion, but it just came out.
Q. Outside of the home run, Russell made two big defensive plays in the fifth. How big a part was he as far as what you accomplished tonight as a pitcher?
CC SABATHIA: Oh, he was huge. That play he made on Lou Ford's ball was unbelievable. I had already conceded that that was going to be a hit, and for him to make that play was great. I mean, Tex with the pick at the end was even better. You know, Russ caught a great game, came up with a big hit and made some huge plays, so it was awesome.
Q. What were the conversations like before going out in the ninth and then on the mound?
CC SABATHIA: You good? I'm good, let's go. That's what the conversation was.
Q. How much did you want to stay in to finish it?
CC SABATHIA: I always want to stay in, and to get one pitch away or one strike away is tough. But we grinded out all game, but it was just one pitch away. You always want to try to finish what you start. Just one of those things.

Wash. Post falsely implied voter suppression efforts are bipartisan
The front page of the October 31 edition of The Washington Post included the following teaser to an article inside the paper:
|Dirtiest of Tricks
The hairbreadth presidential race has brought out the worst in political dirty tricks on voters, election officials say.
While this teaser implied that the article would be about dirty tricks by both Republicans and Democrats, the reality, as laid out in the article itself (on page A22), is that it is primarily Republicans who appear to be trying unfairly, and even illegally, to suppress the vote of those likely to vote Democrat. The article noted the following activities apparently aimed at suppressing Democratic voters:
- Students' party affiliations were unknowingly changed to Republican after they signed unrelated petitions in Florida and Pennsylvania. Florida officials estimated that some 4,000 potential voters were affected.
- Fliers in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, instructed Democrats to vote on Wednesday, November 3.
- In Milwaukee, fliers labeled as coming from the "Milwaukee Black Voters League" has incorrect statements about election law, such as "If you've already voted in any election this year, you can't vote in the presidential election," as well as intimidating warnings about possible jail time for violating non-existent laws. A Wisconsin Republican Party spokesman suggested that Democrats may be circulating the fliers in order to anger voters to increase turnout.
- Voters in Ohio received letters falsely informing them that if their registrations came from Democratic and NAACP voting drives that they were unable to vote. The Post wrote that some Ohio Republicans advanced "the double-dirty-trick explanation, saying the Democrats are out to make the GOP look bad."
- In Cleveland (where Democrats outnumber Republicans more than 3 to 1), voters have received calls informing them of incorrect polling place changes and people have reported that people have come to their homes and made the illegal offer to collect and return their absentee ballots.
- In South Carolina, voters have received letters, falsely claiming to be from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), that incorrectly inform voters they could be arrested at the polls if they have outstanding parking tickets or if they are overdue on child support.
- "Republican-leaning interest groups" have been accused of destroying or not turning in registration submitted by Democrats.
Regarding allegations against Democrats of voter suppression, the Post article had only this very general statement, with no anecdotal or statistical support:
Authorities in several states also are investigating claims, by former employees of groups paid by both the Republican Party and Democratic-leaning interest groups, that they destroyed or did not turn in new registrations by voters of the opposite party.

Choose Ibiza for a relaxing holiday
Ibiza is the Balearic Island closest to the Spanish Peninsula. It has a cosmopolitan atmosphere which combines nature and culture, as well as sunshine and the transparent waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Sant Antoni de Portmany
On Ibiza, you'll forget that time exists as you relax at its coves with crystalline waters, discover its unspoilt nature areas, enjoy the unforgettable evening light and soak up the sun at one of the seafront pavement cafes. All of these activities are within easy reach to make your holiday on the island of Ibiza the relaxing experience that you're looking for. Take a gentle stroll and discover the picturesque fishing villages, but be sure to try the fish and fresh seafood. The towns and villages all boast typical the Ibizan architecture of white houses against the almost inevitable backdrop of the sea. Don't forget to visit the capital, Eivissa, and see the fortified walls at Dalt Vila and the necropolis of Puis des Molins. These and other monuments around the city, as well as the island's biodiversity, are all UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
In the wake of super storm Sandy, music's greats are getting together to help raise funds for the victims in a benefit concert dubbed "12-12-12" held at Madison Square Garden. Sandy has left many parts of the tri-state area devastated and the music community is more than happy to help the cause.
The all-star lineup includes Kanye West and Alicia Keys, along with Paul McCartney, the Who, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and Roger Waters. The concert will reportedly have much resemblance to the 2001 benefit thrown at the same venue for 9/11 victims, which also featured McCartney, the Who, Bon Jovi and Joel and was arranged by Clear Channel, the Madison Square Garden Company and the Weinstein Company. The event could really aid Sandy victims if it has just as an amazing turn out that the 9/11 benefit did, which raised $35 million.
Concert producers James Dolan, John Sykes and Harvey Weinstein said in statement,"12-12-12" is shaping up to be a showcase of musical royalty. The response of the entertainment community to help those most affected by Sandy has been nothing short of astounding."
The concert will be televised but it is not clear as of yet which network, and there is still talk of adding more performers to the bill. This could very well be a historic night for music. All funds raised by "12-12-12" will go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund. More information regarding the concert will be released in the upcoming days.
