My daughter likes this toy a lot. Dora counts with you while you spin; she gets kind of dizzy though and sometimes it tips over if you are going too fast. Overall, she has a good time when she uses it.
The girls love Dora and I love that this burns off some
of their energy. I also love that if you wish to you can turn off the sound. I liked it so much I had to order a second one so they could both spin together. Easy to
put together and seems to be very durable. The girls
will sit on them to watch Dora on TV and then they spin during the commercials.
my 2 year old niece got right on, although she was a bit impatient while we were putting it together. She loved it.
One problem with the product, it does not work well on carpet at all. It is not near as large as the sit & spin I had as a child
I went over board buying my two year old Dora. I was pleasantly suprised. She can operate this by herself and it speaks in english and spanish. For the cost and the fact that my daughter enjoys this toy it was worth paying the shipping cost.
The Sit N' Spin of yesteryear was more durable. This one is very flimsy. It is also difficult to get much momentum. My daughter cups her hands over her ears when the Dora voice starts singing DDDDDDora! So we just turn the sounds off.
My 4 year old got the Dora Sit N Spin for Christmas and she loves it. It counts in English and in Spanish. The only thing I wish it had is a volume control button. It is kind of loud. This sit n spin was well worth the money spent.
We really like this product. I can't get my child to stay on it for very long, but she loves it anyway. It is both educational and fun. Although, it is loud, I don't mind because it was well worth the price.
My daughter is 2 and she loves her Dora sit n' spin!!!Besides the fact she loves Dora it keeps her having fun. Counting in spanish at everty rotation, I guess you could say it's also a good excersise.
All three of my kids love this sit n' spin (one is a 7 yr. boy, & two girls age 1 and 3) It's really nice because they actually sit on the speaker, which cuts down on the noise.
This is a cute, entertaining, educational and excerise toy for a todler--My granddaughter loves it.
Granddaugther really loves to play on the Sit and Spin.
Noisy toy but that's how my 22-month old likes it.

RICHMOND, Va. - The Virginia men's soccer team dropped a 3-0 decision to the Richmond Kickers in a friendly on Saturday (March 22) at City Stadium in Richmond, Va. The Kickers scored three times in the second half, including twice in the final 10 minutes, to break open a close game.
"This was our second USL pro team in three weeks and the biggest differences from the first (against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds) were the DC United loanees and the level of intensity," Virginia head coach George Gelnovatch said. "The combination of the two made this a very competitive game and from that end it was very good in preparation for our UNC game. It will get us ready and energized for what I consider to be a College Cup-worthy team in North Carolina."
The UVa-Kickers match was hotly contested and extremely physical throughout. It was the Kickers' final friendly before their season opener on March 29. The Kickers also featured four loanees from DC United.
Virginia again used the exhibition as an opportunity to get a lot of players some game action. Twenty UVa players saw playing time, including three goalkeepers.
After a scoreless first half which featured nearly 50-50 possession and few quality scoring chances, the Kickers scored all three of their goals in the second half. The final two scores came in the last 10 minutes, with both coming off restarts.
Virginia continues its spring exhibition schedule this Saturday (March 29) when it travels to Greensboro, N.C., for a friendly with North Carolina. Game time is 5 p.m. at Bryan Park.

Assad may unleash chemical weapons not only on the rebels, but may also rain rockets, missiles and even chemical weapons on Israel and Saudi.
You'll never what a nut will do when he is push into a corner with nowhere to run.
And if that happens, Israel will flatten Damascus, and the Hezbollah will rain thousands of rockets in every Israel city.
Iran may be sucked into this fight as well and it will be a perfect excuse for Obama to take out Iran's nuke facilities, just to turn back the clock for 5 years and let the next president deal with Iran's nukes.

[Confused as to what 'Clip Reel' is? Go here.]
We were just up in New Haven for a tailgate, so we were overjoyed to learn that today in 1701, the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut (huh?) passed a bill entitled "An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School." This led to Yale, thus giving Mr. Alex a home on fall Saturdays. (If you don't get the joke, click the link above.) You think Yale only produces politicians and I-Bankers? Generally, you're accurate. There are some decent athletic alums, though. Take a look.
Ron Darling went there.
See? We told you so.
Here's a pic of him throwing for the Bulldogs.
Darling getting interviewed by Costas in 1986. Ahmad Rashad is also there, for no truly apparent reason.
Did you know Telly from Sesame Street is a Darling fan?
Theo Epstein went to Yale as well.
Remember when he left and came back?
Dude can jam.
Example II. He probably learned it at Toad's. Ah, New Haven humor.
Alyssa Milano and Theo Epstein: two great tastes that go great together.
Eddie Vedder insults his Cubs loyalties and plays ball at Fenway with Theo.
Seriously, though, the dude has accomplished a lot.
Chris Dudley also went to Yale.
Nice feature on him here.
Hey, he was good for the Nets in the '92 playoffs.
Dick Jauron went to Yale.
He's responsible for this.
Also for a bunch of clips in this video.
Jeff Van Gundy went to Yale for a year.
Here he is roasting Yao.
Here he is smiling.
You may be able to find the leg-drag clip in this 9:25 video.
Sarah Hughes went to Yale.
Here's her routine from 2002.
Bonus clip: 1999 World Juniors to "Swan Lake" with the old ESPN2 logo on the bottom.
Mike Richter: also a Yalie.
Remember the Bure penalty shot, Game 4 in '94?
Here's one Richter tribute video.
Here's another.
Here's THE CLIP of Richter's life.
Calvin Hill also went to Yale.
We love Calvin, but we love this more: he definitely taught his son how to throw, eh?
Chris Higgins went to Yale too.
Fan video #1.
Number II.
Number III.

There was no problem at all getting into the hospitality program.
Everyone at my school is great they are really friendly and easy to get along with.

Orlando is an exciting city with tons of attractions and activities available to all. In many ways, going to school at UCF resembles a four-year vacation (Disney on Sunday, classes on Monday!). Downtown Orlando on a Friday night can, at times, seem like Mardi Gras, and City Walk on a Saturday night isn't to be missed. Also, Floridians are welcoming and friendly and most students at UCF make friends quickly and easily. Friendly faces and sunny skies, what more could a college student ask for? The stellar academics, up-and-coming sports teams, and state-of-the-art facilities are reason enough to spend the next four years of your life at UCF; the city of Orlando is just one big fringe benefit.

The acclaimed artist Brom brilliantly displays his multiple extraordinary talents in The Child Thief—a spellbinding re-imagining of the beloved Peter Pan story that carries readers through the perilous mist separating our world from the realm of Faerie. As Gregory Maguire did with his New York Times bestselling Wicked novels, Brom takes a classic children's tale and turns it inside-out, painting a Neverland that, like Maguire's Oz, is darker, richer, more complex than innocent world J.M. Barrie originally conceived. An ingeniously executed literary feat, illustrated with Brom's sumptuous artwork, The Child Thief is contemporary fantasy at its finest—casting Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, even Captain Hook and his crew in a breathtaking new light.

The Child Thief
A Novel
Chapter One
Child Thief
In a small corner of Prospect Park, in the borough of Brooklyn, New York, a thief lay hidden in the trees. This thief wasn't searching for an unattended purse, cell phone, or camera. This thief was looking for a child.
In the dusk of that early-autumn day, the child thief peered out from the shadows and falling leaves to watch the children play. The children scaled the giant green turtle, slid down the bright yellow slide, laughed, yelled, teased, and chased one another round and round. But the child thief wasn't interested in these happy faces. He wasn't looking to steal just any child. He was particular. He was looking for the sad face, the loner... a lost child. And the older the better, preferably a child of thirteen or fourteen, for older children were stronger, had better stamina, tended to stay alive longer.
The thief knew Mother Luck had smiled on him with the girl. She'd been a good catch, too bad about her father. He smiled, remembering the funny face the man had made as the knife slipped into his chest. But where was Mother Luck now? He'd been hunting for two days. Nothing. He'd come close with a boy last night, but close wasn't good enough. Grimacing, the thief reminded himself that he had to take it slow, had to make friends with them first, gain their trust, because you couldn't steal a child without their trust.
Maybe Mother Luck would be with him tonight. The child thief had found city parks to be good hunting grounds. Strays and runaways often camped among the bushes and used the public restrooms to wash, and they were always looking for friends.
As the sun slid slowly behind the cityscape, the shadows crept in—and so did the thief, biding his time, waiting for the falling darkness to sort the children out.
Nick darted into the warehouse entryway, pressed himself flat against the steel door, his breath coming hard and fast. He leaned his cheek against the cold metal and squeezed his eyes shut. "Fuck," he said. "I'm screwed. So screwed." At fourteen, Nick was slender and a bit small for his age. Dark, choppy bangs spilled across his narrow face, emphasizing his pallid complexion. He needed a haircut, but of late his hair was the last thing on his mind.
Nick dropped his pack to the ground, pushed his bangs from his eyes, and carefully rolled up one sleeve of his black denim jacket. He glanced at the burns running along the inside of his forearm and winced. The angry red marks crisscrossing his flesh crudely formed the letter N.
He tried to put the nightmare out of his mind, but it came back to him in heated flashes: the men pinning him to the floor—the floor of his own kitchen. The sour, rancid taste of the dish sponge being crammed into his mouth. Marko, big, thick-necked Marko, with his beastly grin, smirking while he heated the coat hanger against the burner. The wire smoking then turning red then... the pain... red-hot searing pain. God, the smell, but worse, the sound, he'd never forget the sound of his own flesh sizzling. Trying to scream, only to gag and choke on that gritty, soggy sponge while they laughed. Marko right in his face, Marko with his long, straggly chin hairs and bulging, bloodshot eyes. "Wanna know what the N stands for?" he'd spat. "Huh, do you fuckhole? It's for Narc. You ever say anything to anybody again and I'm gonna burn the whole fucking word into your tongue. You got that you little prick?"
Nick opened his eyes. "Need to keep moving." He snatched up his pack and unzipped the top. Inside the pack were some chips, bread, a jar of peanut butter, a pocket knife, two cans of soda, a blue rabbit's foot on a leather cord, and about thirty thousand dollars' worth of methamphetamines.
He dug through the hundreds of small clear plastic bags until he found the blue rabbit's foot. The rabbit's foot had been a gift from his dad, the only thing Nick had left of him now. He kissed it, then slipped it around his neck. He needed all the luck he could come by today.
He leaned out from the entryway, glancing quickly up and down the busy avenue, keeping an eye out for a beat-up green van. He'd hoped for some congestion to slow the traffic down, help him make it to the subway alive, but currently the traffic chugged steadily along. The day waned and soon the van would be just one more pair of gleaming headlights in the night.
Nick slung the pack over his shoulder and ducked out onto the sidewalk, weaving his way between the thin trail of pedestrians as he jogged rapidly up the block. There was a bite to the wind and -people had their collars up and their eyes down. Nick pulled up his own collar, skirted around a cluster of elderly men and women lined up in front of an Italian restaurant, and tried to lose himself among the thin stream of returning commuters.
You fucked up Nicky boy, he thought. Fucked up big. Yet part of him was glad, would do about anything to see the faces of those sons-of-bitches when they found their stash gone. It would be a long time before Marko was back in business.
A horn blew behind him. Nick jumped and spun—heart in his throat. But there was no green van, just someone double-parked. He caught sight of the trees and felt a flood of relief. Prospect Park was just a block away. He'd be hard to spot in the trees. He could cut across the park and come out at the subway station. Nick took off in a run.The Child Thief

The Child Thief / 978-0-061-67133-3 I usually save the 'parental warnings' in my reviews until the end, but "The Child Thief", as compelling and fascinating as it is, nonetheless requires some upfront warnings. If you are thinking of buying this novel for a child, perhaps on the grounds that it is a Peter Pan story and therefore child-friendly, be warned that this is an incredibly dark and violent novel. I'm not exaggerating when I say that nine out of every ten pages contains a depiction of rape, child molestation, violence, murder, torture, or several instances of the F-word. I certainly wouldn't say that no child or teenager on earth would be able to appreciate this novel, but I do strongly advise that you read this book yourself, beforehand, to determine whether this level of violence will be disturbing to the intended recipient. With that out of the way, let me say that I am quick to condemn books that rely on violence, sex, and profanity in an attempt to divert the reader's attention from the fact that there is no actual plot. "The Child Thief" is not one such novel - every incidence of violence within this novel acts in service to the plot, and the end result is an incredibly compelling story that is both a re-imagining of the classic Peter Pan tale, but also remarkably true to the original in many of the details (lest we forget that Barrie's version contained quite a bit of death and murder behind the scenes). Brom has taken the premise that Peter Pan steals children away to Neverland and has expanded the concept to fit within our dark reality. Here, Peter Pan does not steal away babies who fall out of their prams - he steals away children who are victims of abuse, neglect, molestation, and all the other such evils of our world that children should never have to endure. But the Neverland that Peter promises to lead these victimized children to is not an escape in the classic sense - it is supremely dangerous, and no longer in the exciting "but-we-always-escape-in-the-end" kind of danger that the Disneyesque Neverland fostered. The neglected children are given a family and an emotionally safe haven, but every moment of their days are spent in training, in the hopes that once they leave the confines of their home they will not die immediately in this hostile world. Brom has woven a masterful tale here, with both the real world and the Neverland/Albion world realistically rendered, with both the good and the bad. There is not a single character in this novel which could be described as flat or two-dimensional; even the most minor and ancillary characters are vivid, complex, and contain their own unique mix of perspectives and motivations. I would deeply recommend "The Child Thief" to anyone who enjoys morally ambiguous tales with complex, three-dimensional characters. If you won't be offended by the incredibly violent and profane nature of the writing, and if you won't be upset by the characterization of a beloved childhood story character as something much less perfect and much more human, then "The Child Thief" is definitely worth looking into. ~ Ana Mardoll
This book is dark, bloody, and nothing like Disney. Did I mention it's also great?! Peter finds the unwanted kids, kids with horrible pasts that need a new life, he takes them home to Avalon. There they join the Devils and are trained as warriors. Little do the kids know they are going to be sent to war with the flesheaters, that's the whole reason Peter brings them home to his strange land. You'll meet several characters you will love, but as this is a dark novel don't expect them to survive the entire story. There isn't really a bad guy in this book, as everyone in it has some dark history. Excellent book and worth the read, and the art is snazzy too
This is not only one of the longest books I've read recently, but also one of the most anticipated. I was lusting after this book and really did my best to get my hands on an ARC, but had to settle for borrowing it from the library. Was worried that it might let me down as I was looking forward to it so much, but am happy to report that it was just as good as described! So good that I'm going to buy my own copy, which I rarely do with library reads. The Child Thief is Peter, a wild child who found refuge on the mythical island of Avalon. Found it interesting that Brom combined the Peter Pan myth with Arthurian legend. Variations of the Lost Boys, Captain Hook, and The Lady of the Lake show up, but in a much darker format. Pretty sure that this book is destined to become a classic, as the story is just that good! Brom is an extremely talented storyteller as well as being a gifted artist. During this story, we learn Peter's history as well as follow his struggle to "save" lost children. We also join him on his quest to serve his Lady, try to save Avalon, and defeat Avalon's enemies. Any more details would probably contain spoilers, so I'll leave it at this: Read this book and you will not be disappointed! Gave it a 5 out of 5, as I found the book totally captivating! Go! Now! Get yourself a copy!
The Child Thief (2009) is a dark reinterpretation of the world of Peter Pan by writer and illustrator Brom. His adult novel offers a chilling alternative to the Disney version of Peter Pan which, according to the author's note, is more in keeping with the original text of Peter Pan as written by J. M. Barrie. Brom's Peter prowls the streets of New York City each night looking for haunted, lost children that he can lure away to a secret place far away. It's impossible to actually steal a child, the mist won't allow that, but you can lead a child. That's what Peter does. In many ways a lost boy himself, Peter finds children who think they have nothing left to lose; victims of violence, abuse and neglect looking for a way out. What these lost children soon learn is that there is always something else to lose. There have been a lot of comparisons drawn between The Child Thief and Gregory Maguire's Wicked. I can't comment on that having not read the latter novel. What I can say is that The Child Thief will make your skin crawl. Like its cover, the novel is peppered with beautiful, grim illustrations of the characters. The writing is no less bleak. Peppered with violence, cursing, and an overwhelming sense of hopelessness, I can see why other reviews have said this book is not for the faint of heart. While brilliantly illustrated, the writing often felt less polished. And though certainly innovative, The Child Thief failed to enchant me. The old fairy tales, the original ones by Grimm or Andersen and apparently Barrie, were meant as cautionary tales for young children. Since then the stories have changed into entertainment: light-hearted, sugar-coated stories for boys and girls. I find, without fail, that I prefer the newer version which is probably why I could not fully embrace this novel. However the biggest problem for me is that the world of The Child Thief, possibly unintentionally, seems to be founded on the assumption that all people are amoral, opportunistic, mean and that the world they inhabit runs on violence and brutality--two assumptions I refuse to believe.
Wonderful story. Imaginative. Interesting. A favorite.
There are some books that are instant classics this is one of them. It is a version of Peter Pan that I found unable to put down. Some books you have to get through the first couple of chapters to get into it. I have to say this book had me hooked from the first chapter. I felt like I was in one of Brom's paintings.
Child Theif is probably the best book i have ever read. It was genious and thought provoking the whole way through. Beginning to end the dark portrayol of Peter kept me on the edge of my seat. I would never have thought to put such a well loved character into that context but it worked perfectly. Neverland is like nothing we could have imagined and more. I highly reccomend you read this book, all my friends are begging to borrow it and every single one of them has turned the last page to find that they loved it and wanted more of it! I don't reccomend this book for children though, it does get very violent and gruesome.
Lots of action and drama. I would recomend it to anyone with a dark imagination. One of my new favorite books :)
I loved this book. A very original look at Peter Pan and faeries. There is content of an adult and violent nature so I would recommend parental guidance.
First of all, this book was WAY different than what I was expecting. It was longer, darker, and much more full of adult themes and swearing than I thought it would be. So, if you've a child or teen who is into Peter Pan and wanting to read this book, I'd suggest at least a quick skim before you decide if that's appropriate. Since I am not a child nor a teen, this book was fine for me. I was horrified at some of the things described, but intrigued by a Peter Pan character who isn't all good and fun loving all the time. From the author note at the end, it seems that the darker themes are more in common with the original telling of Peter Pan, which I think I must read. I also loved how the setting of the book wasn't Neverland, but Avalon, thus mixing both the King Arthurian themes with the Peter Pan retelling. It took me awhile to get through this book because of it's length and it's intensity, but I did enjoy it. It was sad though, don't expect a statistical happy ending.
An awesome spin on the classic Peter Pan
An amazing work with a different take on the old tale! What if Pan the Man wasn't a nice immortal, just looking for friends to live with him forever? What would the children he finds be for? You won't be able to put it down, I can almost guarantee it. -Stranger Danger
If you like lots and lots of killings and cliches then this is the book for you. Little to do with Peter Pan but every other myth is in there. Soooo gruesome...to the point of fetish.
I found it to be predictable and over the top gory. About 3/4 of the way through I just remember thinking to myself this is just silly. I am not squeamish in the least, but there was just no finesse to the gore and madness. I know that the dark themes were what he was aiming for but I personally think the book was screaming with it. It was too much. Not to mention the ending was a let down. I can definitely appreciate the artwork however and the underlying story was very interesting to read. A darker and different outlook on a popular children's story (and their origins) is always exciting. I feel a bit let down because I've heard such great things about it and I knew that it was exactly the type of book I would love. I was really hoping it would pick up...but it didn't.
LOVED THIS BOOK! Everyone I've told about this book has loved it. The drawings are amazing. One of the books I will certainly re-read.
My new favorite book and that hasn't changed in years
Amazing book. Could not put it down. A perfect book for those tired of the sweet innocent happy ever after that so many fairy tales give.
The Child Thief is a heavy volume, made heavier by an abundance of violence untempered by any form of morality by the majority of characters presented in the story. The POV skips around frequently, especially in the first 250 pages, disengaging the reader from any form of emotional attachment that might be formed to the primary "lost boy", Nick. It evens out to some degree when the action truly begins, then introduces new POVs at the end that are unnecessary and cumbersome. The author tried to pack too much in, link too many different ideas, through an amalgamation of Arthurian legend, the pilgrims arrival in America, and various mythologies involving fairies and gods. The only place the book really shone is where the author accentuated Peter's separation from emotions that otherwise would have redeemed his character. Peter spends most of the book in observation mode, showing the reader that he feels little for the children he is "saving". What emotion he does display is like that of a person angered that one of his toys has been broken. The ending shows that there could be hope for Peter, but it comes 494 pages too late to make the book interesting.
Definetly made it to my favorite book everrrrrrr... Beautifully illustrated, made me feel all sorts of emotions, from loving Peter to hating him, and loving him again. definitely not for the weary hearted.Read it in 3 days because I could not put it down. So soo soo good. MUSt read
I felt I had to say something here to contrast the extreme reviews I saw about the excessive violence and such. Yes, this novel is for adults (or teens) and contains violence and some sexuality (including one implied, but not described, abusive situation) and cursing, but it's no more violent, etc., than most adult novels which would fall in horror, fantasy or crime genres (and perhaps less than many of those). The amount of cursing is mild and I'd say this is suitable for older teens (would've been fine for me as a teenager). As for the story itself, I quite enjoyed it, as well as the illustrations - it's a bit like a Neil Gaiman dark fairytale. As others have said, there isn't a huge amount of character development (other than Peter), but neither did I find the characters flat and unbelievable as I've experienced elsewhere. They were real characters, mostly troubled children/teens, just a lot of them, so not much time spent on most of them and the story is mostly action and telling Peter's history. It is dark, for sure, but not without mischievous fun - if you like horror-fantasy-adventure, you will enjoy this.

Shared the condo with my brother and his wife and we all fell in love not only with Anbergris Caye, but Grand Caribe it self is an amazing place! The staff is so friendly! The grounds and the condos are clean and well taken care of. We kept talking about doing excursions, but in the end the only thing we ventured out to do was take a boat ride to San Pedro where we rented a golf cart to explore the town. Did some shopping and had a great dinner at Caramba.
Also ate several times at Grand Caribe's bar/restaurant, the food is delicious and the cold drinks weren't too bad either. the service by Ada and Ingrid was exceptional. We also had dinner and breakfast at Aji a few times. Aji isjust a sort walk along the beach. Also ventured a long evening walk to Coco blanc for dinner and it beautiful, but a bit pricey and the food was fair at best. We had a better dinner experience at Portofinos on our last night there. All in all, just got back last night from our too short visit and Im already planning my trip back. I will be staying at Grand Caribe again no doubt!

City Guide: Shenzhen
You can read historical books from cover to cover, but you won't find it…Shenzhen – a city with no history.
Just a few years back Shenzhen appeared on the world map thus its history is reflected not in the textbooks, but in Chinese memory. Established in 1979, Shenzhen was a small fishing village that later became a child of a huge political experiment - the first of China's Special Economic Zones.
From its past to present you can find out about Shenzhen without books, but on your trip there. From cheap hotels in Shenzhen to one appointed with all the luxuries you could ever imagine, all available with maps, photos and secure forms at Booked.net.
Designated a the first of the Zones, Shenzhen was an opportunity to experiment with market reforms without posing a threat to both the political and economic systems of China. About 40km north of Hong Kong, Shenzhen was chosen from other cities because of this proximity to capital resources.
Since then, Shenzhen became an industrial engine powering China. The city with the fastest speed of development in the world, it quickly became the richest Chinese city, thus saw investments of more than 30 billion dollars for building high-tech companies that greatly changed its landscape.
Once a hilly area, the only elevations of today are Lianhua Shan (Lotus Hill), Bijia Shan (Bijia Mountain) and Wutong Shan along the Pearl River Delta. You are hardly able to notice this geographical tapestry from satellite, while the ninth tallest structure in China - Diwang Building – looms far away the city limits.
Other attractions include;
- Tomb of the Young Song Emperor, a tomb of the last Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty
- Dapeng Ancient Fort, founded in 1394 it dates back to the regency of Ming Dynasty
- Chiwan Tin Hau Temple, the biggest temple in China founded in 14th century
- Window of The World is a beautiful park that occupies 480,000 square meters and offers unforgettable natural landscapes
When you exhaust the list of places to see and things to do, relax on the terrace of cozy bar or cafe and try to peer into the faces of people dashing around. Thanks to them famous bi-weekly magazine – Forbes – ranked Shenzhen to be the fifth largest city by population density in the world. Just imagine that Shenzhen has 8,615,500-strong population while unofficial quantity of its residents doubles this number.

A man believed to be in his 20s has been shot near Don Mills Rd and Eglinton Ave.
Police say they were called to Vendome Place just after 1 a.m. Sunday.
The victim was shot in the leg and taken to hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening.
Police have not released any information on suspects.
This is not the first shooting in the area. In July 2010, a 19-year-old man was shot and killed in a playground on nearby Grenoble Dr. In January 2011, shots rang out in the same playground area and an 18-year-old man was shot in the shoulder. In March 2012, an 18-year-old woman was shot in the back when someone opened fire on a car on Vendome Place.

The question of money at tonight's high-profile, high-earning 100 metres challenge against Linford Christie, who takes an equal share, has already been settled. Two others remain. Who will win? Does it matter?
The weather forecast for the Gateshead area later today - showers, sometimes heavy, moving from the west, light to moderate south-west winds - offers a strong climatic case for the home runner. Especially when one considers that the expected temperature of 66F is nearly 30 below what Lewis has been training in every day in his home city of Houston.
'If it is cold in Gateshead,' Lewis said this week, 'it doesn't matter, because that is a factor I cannot change. I have to deal with it.'
It sounded like the kind of thing football managers say after they say, 'I don't want to make excuses, but. . .' Then again, he showed in Lausanne last month, when a chill wind was tugging at the flags around the rim of the Stade de la Pontaise, that he does not need exotic conditions to flourish. His victory in 19.99sec, over a 200m field which included the Olympic champion, his Santa Monica team-mate Mike Marsh and the world champion, Michael Johnson, was highly significant. Both for him, and the hothouse world of sprinting, where conclusions had been drawn about advancing age after the 32-year-old had struggled to qualify for the World Championships in third place at the US Olympic trials.
That marked the end of the European tour part 1 for Lewis. He now embarks on part 2, starting at the Vauxhall Invitation meeting in Gateshead tonight and proceeding to Zurich on Wednesday en route to the World Championships, which start in Stuttgart on 14 August.
Unlike Christie, who is unbeaten in five 100m races this season, Lewis has not won once in four attempts. But his legal best of 10.07 is only one hundredth of a second slower than Christie's this year. And in between his European trips he has worked hard on his start and pick-up. 'I'm in the condition now that everyone else was a month ago,' he says. Add to that his career record over Christie at 100m - 12 wins to one - and a case begins to be formed for the American.
Christie has done all that has been asked of him so far this season, winning at the European Cup and in Oslo. But despite his avowals that there is no problem with his back, he has not always looked fluent and has had to work harder than usual in the later stages of his races.
That, of course, is where Lewis has always gone for the kill. These two are the fastest finishers in the world; the Gateshead track is likely to bear scorchmarks around 70 metres. Given the weather, and that intangible, home advantage, Christie should win.
There is a faint possibility that one of the 100m bit players, such as Calvin Smith, the former world record holder who ran Christie close in Edinburgh, or John Drummond, the World Student Games champion who also stretched him at Crystal Palace, might upset the carefully prepared drama.
That would be very inconvenient for the event as a promotion - Leroy Burrell, who had wanted to run the 100m, has been switched to the 200m. While the race has not attracted the US television channels, an expected British television audience of 10 million viewers will not want or expect the Olympic champion and the world champion to fill supporting places.
But would it matter? Lewis talked about the confidence boost such a victory would have - 'It will set the tone for people to judge our competitive spirit by.' But he says it will be no guide to Stuttgart. Christie also says victory here will not mean victory in the World Championships. It may be that a result - in the form of expected ratings - will be most vital to one of the main sponsors, ITV, who will soon have to renegotiate their contract for athletics.
Elsewhere, there are less expensive but nevertheless pressing matters to be decided. Steve Cram seeks a 1500m qualifying time in front of his home crowd, Britain's women 1500m runners seek anybody who can gain a qualifying time, and in a high quality 300m, Marsh, Johnson and Britain's John Regis test their relative merits.

A fuzzy-logic-based command to line-of-sight (CLOS) guidance law is proposed. In this design, the guidance problem is converted to the tracking problem. Then the fuzzy controller is designed to achieve satisfactory tracking performance. Meanwhile, an on-line tuning factor is introduced to speed up the convergence of tracking error and to reduce the miss distance. Besides, a CLOS compensator is designed to eliminate the pseudo-CLOS effect. Simulation results for different engagement scenarios illustrate the validity of the proposed guidance law

Die Fahne Hoch! is named after the anthem of the Nazi Party, the Horst-Wessel-Lied, and is one of several paintings in the series that make direct reference to Nazism.

(Elysia Ja-Zeng) As demand for energy continues to rise, the concern over the increase in emissions grows, prompting much interest in using renewable energy resources such as solar energy. However, there are numerous issues with using solar energy including intermittency and the need for storage. A potential solution is the concept of hybrid solar-fossil fuel power generation. Previous work has shown that utilizing solar reforming in conventional power cycles has higher performance compared to other integration methods. In this thesis, a two level analysis of a hybrid redox redox cycle is performed. First, a system analysis of a hybrid cycle utilizing steam redox reforming is presented. Important cycle design and operation parameters such as the oxidation temperature and reformer operating pressure are identified and their effect on both the reformer and cycle performance is discussed. Simulation results show that increasing oxidation temperature can improve reformer and cycle efficiency. Also shown is that increasing the amount of reforming water leads to a higher reformer efficiency, but can be detrimental to cycle efficiency depending on how the reforming water is utilized. Next, a system analysis for a CO2 redox reforming hybrid cycle and comparison of cycle and reformer performance between a CO 2 redox reformer and steam redox reformer hybrid cycle are presented. Similar to the steam redox system, results show that increasing the oxidation temperature or the amount of reforming CO2 leads to higher reformer and cycle efficiencies. In addition, the comparison between the CO2 and steam redox reformer hybrid cycles shows that the CO2 cycle has the potential to have better overall performance.Based on the system analysis, a reformer level analysis is also performed. A novel receiver reactor concept for a solar steam redox reformer is presented, and a computational model is developed to assess its performance. The receiver-reactor consists of a dumbbell shape absorber system that has two distinct absorbers. This absorber system setup allows for the switching between reduction and oxidation steps without having to constantly change inlet streams to the reactor and is designed such that the inlet connections do not interfere with the solar window. In addition, at any point in time only one solar absorber is irradiated by the solar energy (during the reduction step). Simulation results show that the receiver-reactor strongly absorbs the solar radiation and most of the radiative heat transfer occurs in the front half of the reactor. Moreover, results show that higher conductivity absorber materials are more suitable for long term reactor operation. A sensitivity analysis is also performed for the solar steam redox reformer with respect to different performance metrics. Important parameters include channel size, inlet temperature, and reformer pressure. Moreover, a strategy for reactor design based on performance as well as integration with the power cycle is discussed. Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2016.; Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.; Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-241). 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Modeling technical performance change using design fundamentals http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/103497 Modeling technical performance change using design fundamentals Basnet, Subarna Technical performance improvement exhibits exponential trends, but the rates of improvement for the 28 selected technological domains vary from 3 to 65%. Why does performance improve exponentially? Why do the improvement rates vary widely across the domains? This thesis presents a simple theoretical model that provides an explanatory foundation based on two sets of well-known design fundamentals. The first set conceptualizes inventions arising through combinatorial analogical transfer where new operating ideas are created by combining operating ideas from an existing pool of ideas. This inventive process proceeds on a cumulative basis over time and is perpetuated by injection of basic operating ideas through synergistic exchange between science and technology. The combinatorial analogical transfer coupled with exchange between science and technology naturally leads to exponential behavior. These operating ideas are then embedded in domain artifacts to improve technical performance. Interactions in artifacts and scaling of design variables - two domain specific effects from the second set of design fundamentals- modulate this process. Interactions in artifacts influence the ability of the domains to successfully assimilate the operating ideas. Assimilated ideas change design variables in the artifacts to improve their performance. The relative performance improvement depends on the scaling of design variables of the artifacts. Together these two domain parameters can potentially yield a wide variation in performance improvement rates. According to the model, higher domain interaction parameters retard, whereas higher scaling parameters accelerate, performance improvement rates. The model is shown to be consistent with what is known in the technical change literature. An empirical study tests the model's prediction that higher domain interactions retard performance improvement rates of technological domains. A method for extracting domain interactions using a keyword-based text-mining approach on patents is presented. High normalized counts of keywords representing domain interactions are found to be negatively correlated with low performance improvement rates, thus supporting the model positively. The thesis also presents an independent case study on performance improvement of permanent magnetic materials, and tests two regression models, which predict improvement rates using patent data. Performance of magnetic materials follows an exponential, but halting, improvement trend, and predicted rates from the regression models are consistent with prior result for the 28 technological domains.

D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2016.; Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.; Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-204). 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Development of bio-inspired distributed pressure sensor arrays for hydrodynamic sensing applications http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/103496 Development of bio-inspired distributed pressure sensor arrays for hydrodynamic sensing applications Dusek, Jeff Ernest The performance of marine vehicles is largely influenced by interactions with the flow around their hull, both self-generated and environmentally driven. To improve performance through flow control, a detailed, real-time measurement of the near-field flow is necessary, yet such sensing capability is presently unavailable. Looking to nature for inspiration, fish employ the distributed pressure and velocity sensing capability of their lateral line sensory organ to mediate navigation and control behaviors that, if replicated, could benefit engineered systems. Through a series of towing tank and field experiments, it was found that while distributed pressure measurements on marine vehicles enabled the detection of near-body flow phenomena, the size, cost, and mounting requirements of commercial sensors lead to sparse arrays and substantial gaps in the characterization of the flow field. To address the challenges associated with obtaining spatially-dense pressure measurements on curved surfaces in marine environments, a new waterproof and conformal pressure sensor array was developed based on a closed-cell piezo resistive foam composed of carbon black-doped-silicone composite (CBPDMS foam). The response of the CBPDMS foam sensor arrays was characterized using periodic hydrodynamic pressure stimuli from vertical plunging and water waves, and a piecewise polynomial calibration was developed to describe the sensor response. The sensitivity and frequency response of the sensor arrays was also documented through a series of biologically-inspired hydrodynamic stimuli, including the flow from a dipole source, and the Karmin vortical wake flow behind a circular cylinder. The CBPDMS foam sensor arrays have significant advantages over existing commercial sensors for distributed flow reconstruction and control. They are found to have sensitivity on the order of 5 Pascal, frequency range of 0.5-35 Hertz, are contained in a waterproof and completely flexible package, and have material cost less than $10 per sensor.

The hybrid microstructure of a composite material has an essential influence on the effective properties and behavior of the composite. Hence, in this research, the principles and mechanics of interfacial layer instabilities are purposely designed to achieve sudden pattern transformations in the composite structure to generate new controlled multifunctional behavior. The wrinkling instability transformation is investigated in multilayered and networked composites consisting of relatively stiff interfacial layers or cells embedded in a soft matrix. Through analytical modeling, finite element simulations, and physical experiments, a comprehensive study is performed to elucidate: i) the conditions governing wrinkling, ii) the effect of wrinkling on local deformations, iii) the energy stored and dissipated in wrinkling composites, and iv) the change in the effective mechanical behavior of the composites. It is concluded that these properties are directly dependent on the composite's material and geometrical properties, and that composites can be designed to exhibit enhanced energy absorption (including energy storage and dissipation), stress mitigation effects, bilinear and multi-linear elastic stress-strain behavior, switchable effective stiffness, and can be used for energy harvesting applications. Design guidelines are presented to assist the process of deploying instability-transformation to tune, control, and switch the mechanical properties of multifunctional composite materials. Instability principles such as buckling and wrinkling are favorable mechanisms as they can be designed to be elastic and therefore reversible. The ability to alter and transform the microstructure enables on-demand tunability and active control of the composite's properties and attributes. Thesis: Ph.

SEOUL, Aug. 15 (Yonhap) -- Scrapping his plans to take a helicopter to his first public Mass in South Korea, Pope Francis on Friday surprised hundreds of travelers by taking a local bullet train to Daejeon, the service's host city.
The pontiff was seen boarding a KTX train at Seoul Station around 8:45 a.m. and arriving at Daejeon Station in the namesake city about 160 kilometers south of Seoul 50 minutes later.
He celebrated the Mass of the Assumption of Mary, which marks the Virgin Mary's rise to heaven, at a football stadium in the city.
Francis rode in the fourth car of the train, in a first-class seat closest to the economy seats, while the other three VIP cars were left empty for security purposes.
More than 500 people were on board the train, which skipped all the stops before Daejeon.
The reason behind the last-minute change was not immediately clear, but Hur Young-yup, spokesman for the organizing committee of the papal visit, said it may not have been all due to fog.
"My understanding is that it was not entirely due to the weather," he told reporters in a daily briefing. "I'd need to double-check why the pope decided against his original plans, but it's true that he would have more opportunities to meet the locals on KTX."
The spokesman added that it was not uncommon for the Holy Father to take the train.
"The helicopter is his default means of transit because it is fast and safe, but the pontiff also considers other options, like the train, if taking them would allow him to arrive on schedule," Hur explained.
