Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn (機動戦士ガンダムUC(ユニコーン) Kidō Senshi Gandamu Yunikōn?) is a novel by popular Japanese author Harutoshi Fukui (Shūsen no Lorelei, Bōkoku no Aegis). The novel takes place in Gundam's Universal Century timeline. Character and mechanical designs are provided by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko and Hajime Katoki, respectively. An anime adaptation of the novels premiered on Sony's PlayStation Network Japan on February 20, 2010, and the first episode had a simultaneous worldwide DVD and Blu-ray Disc release on March 12, 2010.
The series begins in U.C. 0001, at the very beginning of human space colonization, when a space colony called Laplace is destroyed during a ceremony hosted by the Federation's Prime Minister ushering in the Universal Century dating system. The main story takes place in UC 0096, sixteen years after the end of the One Year War, three years after the events of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, and 27 years before Mobile Suit Gundam F91.
The story revolves around Banagher Links, a seemingly normal boy living and going to school in the space colonies. His life changes one day when he meets a girl named Audrey Burne, as the encounter brings him into contact with a new Gundam and its connections to an item called "Laplace's Box."

Fukui also wrote a prequel novel, which was bundled with the PS3 adaptation's Special Edition released on March 8, 2012. Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: The Postwar War contains an all-new story set two years before the events of the first episode. It deals with Full Frontal's origins and how the Neo Zeon stole the Sinanju.
A manga adaptation titled Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Bande Dessinée (機動戦士ガンダムUC(ユニコーン)バンデシネ Kidō Senshi Gandamu Yunikōn Bandeshine?) started serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's Gundam Ace in early 2010. The manga is written by Fukui Harutoshi and illustrated by Kouzou Oomori. Its first tankōbon volume was released on July 26, 2010.[2]
In the June 2009 issue[3] of the Japanese monthly manga magazine Gundam Ace, it was announced that an anime adaptation of Gundam Unicorn was green-lit for late 2009 and later moved to spring 2010. It is directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi and features screenplays written by Yasuyuki Muto. Hajime Katoki, who was the mechanical designer for the novel, works on the anime alongside veteran designers Junya Ishigaki and Mika Akitaka, and newcomer Nobuhiko Genba. Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's character designs were dapted for the series Kumiko Takahashi, and the music is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano.[4] It was planned to be six 50-minute episodes[5] with a worldwide release.[6] The series premiered on PlayStation Network Japan for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable systems on February 20, 2010. The Blu-ray Disc edition was released simultaneously worldwide on March 12, 2010, featuring both Japanese and English audio and subtitles in five languages (Japanese, English, French, Spanish and Chinese).[7] The series was originally slated to last six episodes. However, on May 13, 2012, Bandai announced that the storyline will wrap up with a seventh episode.[8] Bandai Entertainment released the first four episodes of Unicorn on DVD before shutting down in 2012. Sunrise will release the OVA series on DVD in North America in four volumes with distribution from Right Stuf Inc. beginning in August 2013.[9]
Episode list[edit]
No. | Title | Release date |
1 | "Day of the Unicorn" "Yunikōn no Hi" (ユニコーンの日) |
February 20, 2010 |
A Neo-Zeon remnant group called the "Sleeves" travels to Side 4's Industrial 7 colony, so that its captain, Zinnerman, can receive a "key" to something known as "Laplace's Box" from Vist Foundation leader Cardeas Vist. The item is said to be capable of either restoring the future or destroying the world. Audrey Burns seeks to meet Vist first and convince him not to turn over Laplace's Box, believing the Sleeves will use it to start another war. Along the way, she is rescued by 16-year-old student Banagher Links, who agrees to take her to Vist. Meanwhile, a battle breaks out between the Federation's Londo Bell taskforce and the Sleeves. As the collateral damage rises, the colony is evacuated. Amidst the chaos, Banagher discovers the fatally-wounded Cardeas Vist in the cockpit of the Unicorn Gundam. Before his death, Vist entrusts the Gundam to Banagher, who realizes that Vist is his father. Banagher then launches in the Unicorn and confronts the Sleeves' elite pilot, Marida Cruz, who is piloting the Kshatriya. Episode 1's theme song is "Ryūsei no Namida" by CHiAKi KURiYAMA |
2 | "The Second Coming of Char"[Note 1] "Akai Suisei" (赤い彗星) |
November 12, 2010 |
The transformed Unicorn Gundam overpowers the Kshatriya and Marida is ordered to retreat. The Unicorn is picked up by the Londo Bell ship Nahel Argama. Banagher is questioned by Daguza Mackle about how he came to possess the Unicorn Gundam but is interrupted by the Sleeves' surprise attack. Full Frontal, the leader of Neo Zeon, demands that the Nahel Argama hand over any items related to Laplace's Box, including the Unicorn. Daguza tries to ensure safe passage by holding Audrey - revealed to be Zeon Princess Mineva Lao Zabi - hostage, but Frontal refuses to accept they have the real Mineva. With no other choice, Banagher sorties in the Unicorn against the Sinanju; he fights well, but is captured when blindsided by the Kshatriya. Banagher is taken to meet Frontal at the Sleeves asteroid base of Palau. After discussing the nature of Zeon with Marida, who is placed in charge of watching over Banagher, a crew member from the Nahel Argama disguised as a bum bumps into Banagher and passes him a map and a transmitter, telling him to get to the 14th space gate or risk being killed in the coming battle. Banagher laments over how the colony will become a battlefield soon. Episode 2's theme song is "Everlasting" by Kylee |
3 | "The Ghost of Laplace" "Rapurasu no Bōrei" (ラプラスの亡霊) |
March 5, 2011 |
The Earth Federation and ECOAS execute their assault on Palau, with the intention of rescuing Banagher and the Unicorn. Saboteurs destroy Palau's connecting bridges, while the Nahel Argama unleashes its Hyper-Mega Particle Cannon, pushing the asteroids towards each other to damage much of the Sleeves' forces. Any Sleeves unit getting out is ambushed by ECOAS units hiding in the rocks. Riddhe springs Audrey from detention so they can go to Earth and talk to his father, Ronan, but not before trying to convince a surprised Micott about their intentions. Banagher finds the Unicorn Gundam and tries to escape, defeating Marida in the process. She is eventually captured and Alberto Vist is allowed to escort her to an Anaheim Electronics facility on Earth. Banagher and Daguza proceed to the remains of Laplace with the intention of activating Laplace's Box, but hear the original broadcast of the Earth Federation establishment ceremony. The Sleeves are not far behind and the EFSF/ECOAS units fight them. The Sinanju appears and Daguza sacrifices his life to buy Banagher some time to activate the Unicorn's Destroy Mode. The fight sheds parts of the Laplace colony and sends them into the atmosphere. Banagher continues to pursue Full Frontal during the reentry, but a beam magnum shot meant for the Sinanju hits Gilboa Sant instead. As Banagher and the Nahel Argama enter the atmosphere, Audrey arrives at the Marcenas estate. Note: This episode was co-produced by Studio Ghibli.[citation needed] Episode 3's theme song is "merry-go-round" by CHEMISTRY |
4 | "At the Bottom of the Gravity Well" "Jūryoku no Ido no Soko de" (重力の井戸の底で) |
November 12, 2011 |
The Zeon Remnant forces attack the Federation Capitol Building at Dakar in a feint operation to allow the Garencieres to descend to Earth safely. Banagher is revealed to have been rescued from death by the Garencieres crew mid-descent. Marida is transported to a Federation facility in North America, where Martha Vist Carbine manipulates her using the wreck of an old Mass-Production Qubeley, which she had piloted in the past. Audrey is held at the Marcenas estate. Riddhe escapes after his father, Ronan, tells him the truth about Laplace's Box. Audrey briefly escapes captivity long enough to have a insightful conversation with an old man in a local diner, which strengthens her resolve. Bright Noa is ordered to take Riddhe on board the Ra Cailum under his command, as well as capture the Garencieres. After being called in from around the world, the Zeon Remnant forces band together and assault Torrington Base en masse. The Shamblo's pilot, Loni Garvey, falls victim to the malfunctioning on-board psycommu system, becoming a channel for her dead father's bloodlust and begins indiscriminately massacring the population of a local city, despite being ordered to avoid causing collateral damage. Banagher, appalled by the resulting destruction, confronts Zinnerman about his hypocritical rationalizing of the situation and flies out in the Unicorn Gundam to put a stop to Loni's rampage. After failing to reason with her, he activates the NT-D in a last-ditch effort to stop her without resorting to lethal force. Incensed by Banagher's refusal to kill Loni, Riddhe decides to kill her himself, much to Banagher's dismay, and orders him at gunpoint to hand over the Unicorn Gundam according to Captain Bright's orders. As he threatens Banagher, the two witness a mysterious black-colored Unicorn Gundam being dropped into the battlefield. Episodes 4's theme song is "B-Bird" by earthmind |
5 | "Black Unicorn" "Kuroi Yunikōn" (黒いユニコーン) |
May 19, 2012 |
After neutralizing the Delta Plus, the newly-arrived Banshee captures the Unicorn and returns it to the Ra Cailum, where Riddhe encounters and attempts to question Alberto Vist of Anaheim Electronics' motives, only to be ignored. Meanwhile, on the Garuda, Martha requests Mineva's assistance to coerce Banagher's cooperation in disclosing the location of Laplace's Box. On the Ra Cailum, Bright speaks with Banagher and comes to terms with the latter's actions, before learning of the Federation's covert deployment of the new Dogosse Gier-class battleship General Revil. He sends orders to the Nahel Argama, instructing them to rendezvous with the Garencieres. The Tri-Stars, Riddhe, Marida and Banagher are assigned to provide cover while the Unicorn Gundam is transferred back to the Garuda. However, combat between the Garuda and Garencieres' forces breaks out, and in the ensuing chaos, Banagher restrains the Banshee long enough for Zimmerman to board the Garuda. Riddhe enters the Garuda's rear docking bay and confronts Anaheim staff to rescue Mineva, but before he can do so, Zimmerman begins firing on them. Mineva takes advantage of the distraction to reach Zimmerman, who gives her a parachute. An exploding Anksha damages the docking bay and incapacitates Zimmerman. Riddhe pleads with Mineva to no avail; she leaps off the Garuda and is caught by Banagher, who activates the Unicorn's NT-D system. After he brings Mineva to the Garencieres, Banagher forces the Banshee into the Garuda hangar. Marida identifies the Delta Plus as a Gundam and decimates it with the Banshee's Armed Armor VN claw. Having regained consciousness, Zimmerman reaches out to Marida and implores that she return to the Garencieres. Realizing her identity, Marida falls out of the Banshee's cockpit unconscious. The Garencieres undergoes the next phase of its mission and attempts to link with the Nahel Argama as per the original mission. However, an engine malfunction causes the ship to fall out of its designated trajectory. Despite this, the Nahel Argama fires its tow cable, which is caught by the Unicorn; the forces exerted on the machine threaten to pull it apart. The spirits of Daguza Mackle and Gilboa Sant appear, resulting in the Unicorn's psycoframe producing a green luminescence, helping the Garencieres achieve orbit. Both ships find themselves under heavy fire from the General Revil. Flast believes that this was orchestrated by the Federation, but Mineva notes that the Federation attack patterns imply their intent on destroying the Garencieres and the Nahel Argama. Banagher attempts to engage the forces, but the Unicorn has exhausted its fuel supply. Angelo Sauper and his YAMS-132 Rozen Zulu appears and lays waste to the Federation mobile suits. He buys enough time for Full Frontal to head straight for the Revil and open fire with his rocket bazooka. Episode 5's theme song is "Broken Mirror" by Boom Boom Satellites |
6 | "Two Worlds, Two Tomorrows"[Note 2] "Sora to Hoshi to" (宇宙(そら)と地球(ほし)と) |
March 2, 2013 |
Full Frontal and Angelo Sauper comes in to rescue the Nahel Argama and the Garencieres as the EFSF flagship General Revil bears down on them. The Londo Bell Tri-Stars chase down the Garencieres, which suddenly blows up as a decoy to buy time for the Sleeves to take over the Nahel Argama. In explaining the takeover, Full Frontal says it was an opportunity to finally open Laplace's Box, reveals his memories of the events of Char's Counterattack and his reasons for continuing to oppose the Earth Federation; implying very strongly that he is in fact Char Aznable. He leaves Angelo in charge of the vessel as it heads back to Industrial 7 - where the last clue leads to - along with the Rewloola. Angelo has the Nahel Argama crewman send out an SOS beacon, prompting the Federation's Luna II base to send a Salamis cruiser in pursuit. Captain Otto defies Angelo's orders to destroy the warship. An ECOAS team led by Conroy Haagensen assaults the Nahel Argama and gradually fights the Neo-Zeon troops back to the MS hangar deck. Banagher activates the Unicorn to aid in the attack, but Full Frontal faces him and threatens him with death if he doesn't join the Neo-Zeon's cause, since Mineva already knows where the Box is. With Mineva's help, Marida reactivates the Kshatriya to prevent Angelo from destroying the Nahel Argama but declares not joining Full Frontal's plan to use the Box to launch another war with the Federation. As Marida seeks Zinnerman's permission to fight the Sleeves, he decides to finally let her go and live her own life. Angelo and Full Frontal fly back to the Rewloola in Angelo's Rozen Zulu. Back on Earth, Martha Vist threatens Bright Noa and Londo Bell with being left out of the pursuit operation if they do not co-operate with her. She also barges into a meeting of Ronan Marcenas and several EFSF politicians to announce her intentions to prevent the Box's opening. Upon entering the region near Industrial 7, Banagher flies out in the Full-Armor Unicorn Gundam to get closer to opening the Box. A surprise awaits him though - the Unicorn Banshee Norn, piloted by Riddhe Marcenas, who was earlier briefed by Alberto Vist about the origins of the Vist Foundation. Episode 6's theme song is "RE:I AM" by Aimer |
SP | "Mobile Suit Gundam UC: One of Seventy-Two" "Kidou Senshi Gundam UC: ONE OF SEVENTY TWO" (機動戦士ガンダムUC: ONE OF SEVENTY TWO) |
August 3, 2013 (DOME-G, Gundam Front Tokyo) |
The Sleeves test the AMX-107R ReBawoo mobile suit in a shoal zone on December 3, UC 0095. Having learned about the test, the Earth Federation and Anaheim Electronics sends one ship each to investigate the Sleeves' test as Martha Vist Carbine watches the operation unfold. The Federation deploys the Unicorn Gundam Unit 3 Phenex in a bid to destroy the ReBawoo and the Unicorn Banshee. The ReBawoo splits up and escapes as the two Unicorn Gundams fight each other in Destroy Mode. When the two units' psychoframes resonate, Martha orders the operation terminated, but the Phenex suddenly breaks away and makes for the Federation ship. Two Federation officials aboard the ship are aghast to see the Phenex just outside the bridge before the screen fades to black. | ||

- ^ The literal translation of episode two's Japanese title is "The Red Comet", an honorary title that was bestowed upon the character Char Aznable, whom Full Frontal was designed to emulate. However the title "The Second Coming of Char" was chosen by Sunrise for the English release.
- ^ The literal translation of episode six's Japanese title is "The Sky and the Stars". However the title "Two Worlds, Two Tomorrows" was chosen by Sunrise for the English release .
Video games[edit]
The RX-0 Unicorn Gundam is one of the playable secret mobile suits in Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam Next. For the PlayStation Portable port Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam Next Plus, the Unicorn is joined by the NZ-666 Kshatriya. The Unicorn is part of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3,[12] along with the Sinanju and Kshatriya (DLC only). The Unicorn, Kshatriya, Sinanju, and the Delta Plus are the initial UC units included in the arcade game Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs.,[13] and were later supplanted by the Banshee and Rozen Zulu. In the Wii and PlayStation Portable Game "SD Gundam G Generation World," the Unicorn Gundam, Kshatriya, Sinanju, Delta Plus, Loto, Rezel, the Jegan units and Geara Zulu (including Angelo Sauper's custom) are playable units. In SD Overworld, units from episode 4 and 5 are now included with some units from the PS3 game, such as Gundam Delta Kai, Delta Gundam and the Sinanju Stein. This suit is also in SD Gundam Online.
An action game based on the first three episodes of the anime adaptation was developed by From Software and was published by Namco Bandai during March 8, 2012 in Japan.[14][15]
The first models to come from the series were the 1/100 Master Grade "Ver. Ka" (Ka stands for series mecha designer Hajime Katoki) kits of the Sinanju and the Unicorn in 2009, which were followed up with the Full Armor Unicorn in December 2011, the online exclusive Unicorn Banshee "Final Battle" version in March 2012, and the Sinanju Stein in February 2013. All four kits appear as depicted in the novels. A 1/100 Sinanju rocket bazooka is packaged with the eighth issue in the novel series while a 1/100 Armed Armor DE is a free item for the eighth Bande Dessinee volume. The company also produced all of the OVA series' mobile suits (plus the UC MS Variations and Bande Dessinee manga series) in its HGUC line of 1/144 model kits (including the Base Jabber transports); some are special glitterized or clear-plastic kits marketed as online exclusives or as "Theater Limited" items (sold at select moviehouses on the day of an episode screening). A number of the kits are also available as Master Grade and B-Club models, with the MG 1/100 Unicorn Gundam also sold in a "HD" version featuring its hangar cage. Several UC kits in the two lines have Titanium Finish (metallic) versions. The Phenex was first sold at Gundam Front Tokyo in 1/144 scale as part of the promotions for One of Seventy-Two; the initial casting was criticized, but a Master Grade version of the unit was released in February 2014 as a gold cast model. A 1/144 Destroy Mode Unicorn was also released in limited numbers as part of the ANA Gundam Sky Project in April 2011.[16] The Gundam Fix Figuration line also has versions of the standard and Full-Armor Unicorn, and ReZEL, and metal composite Unicorns. Certain issues of Gundam UC Ace magazine also offer free weapon kits.
The series' appearance in the Robot Spirits line of action figures began with the release of the normal mode Unicorn in November 2009, followed by its Destroy Mode version, the Geara Zulu, the Stark Jegan, the Sinanju (as appeared in Episode 2 and 3; a second version released in January 2014, features a rocket bazooka, brighter red color scheme, and a burnt head.), Angelo Sauper's Geara Zulu, and the Destroy Mode and Norn versions of the Banshee. Bandai's Tamashii Shouten online-exclusive shop carries the Elite Guard Geara Zulu, which was released in February 2011, a Destroy Mode Unicorn with glittering psycoframe [17] that can be mated with a special lighting stage.[18] A Destroy Mode Unicorn with green glittering psycoframe as depicted in Episode 5 was released in 2013 with its own lighting stage. Katoki also joined forces with Bandai to create Robot Spirits versions of the Byarlant Custom, Yonem Kirks' Zaku I Sniper, and the Guncannon Detector as online exclusives under the "Ka Signature" collection.[19] The Detector is also available in the red livery of the AEUG's Karaba terrestrial forces, plus the ARX-014 Silver Bullet.
Some units in the series are also available in the Assault Kingdom line of small poseable action figures.

A trader holds his head on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 19, 1987, after the Dow crashed 22.6%.
Prepare yourself for another stock market crash as big as the free-fall in October 1987.
That's a daunting prospect, indeed. At current levels, such a decline would mean a plunge in the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($NDU) of more than 3,000 points in a single trading session.
And we're kidding ourselves if we think that market regulatory reforms such as circuit breakers will be able to prevent it.
These sobering truths are what emerge from a fascinating line of recent academic research into the frequency of market crashes. Recognizing them is perhaps the best way for us to respect this week's 25th anniversary of the Oct. 19, 1987, "Black Monday" crash, when the Dow plunged 22.6%.
This research traces to "A Theory of Large Fluctuations in Stock Market Activity," a study you can find on the Social Science Research Network that was conducted a decade ago by Xavier Gabaix, a finance professor at New York University, and three scientists at Boston University's Center for Polymer Studies: H. Eugene Stanley; Parameswaran Gopikrishnan, and Vasiliki Plerou.
In numerous follow-up studies, Gabaix said in a telephone interview earlier this week, the original findings have only been strengthened.
No way to stop losses
The researchers crafted a complex mathematical formula for predicting the frequency of large daily stock market movements. Though they believe their formula rests on a solid theoretical foundation, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. And they found that not only does the U.S. stock market over the last century closely adhere to the formula, so do international markets.
A single-session drop of at least 20%, for example, is predicted -- over long periods -- to occur once every 104 years, on average, but it could happen at any time. That's why you always have to prepare for it, because you don't know when it will occur.
If the frequency of crashes of various magnitudes is predictable, shouldn't precipitous slides also be preventable?
Gabaix says no. Crashes are an inevitable feature of the investment arena because every market, to a more or less similar degree, is dominated by its largest investors. When those large investors collectively want to get out of stocks, which will happen on occasion, they will find ways to circumvent any downside protections, such as circuit breakers, that may be in place.
Gabaix therefore recommends that all of us -- whether individuals or large institutional investors, such as banks and mutual funds -- cushion our portfolios so that a crash as large as 1987's wouldn't be fatal.
Unfortunately, he added, for most investors that's easier said than done. Those cushions are a drag on portfolio performance as long as the market doesn't plunge. After big stretches in which no major crash occurs, the pressure becomes overwhelming to toss out those cushions in pursuit of short-term profits.
The bottom line? Regulators are tilting at windmills in trying to formulate reforms that would prevent large daily market drops. Even worse, these regulatory efforts lull gullible investors into a false sense of security.
Repeat after me: Another stock market crash as big as 1987's is going to happen. Period.

WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are hoping like father, like son.
The CFL club signed rookie punter Brett Cameron on Wednesday. The 22-year-old Cameron is the son of Bob Cameron, who spent 23 seasons as Winnipeg's punter before being inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2010.
The six-foot-one, 194-pound Brett Cameron played his high school football in Winnipeg before spending four seasons at the University of North Dakota.
Brett Cameron played three seasons at North Dakota and his 40.6-yard average leaves him tied for the second-best mark in school history. He posted a career-best 42.1-yard average as a senior.
"Brett is a prospect with great potential at the professional level," Bombers GM Joe Mack said in a statement. "When it is the right fit, it is always appealing to have local talent within your organization and we look forward to Brett coming in and competing in our training camp."
The Bombers looked at revamping their special teams last season but ended up sticking with kicker Justin Palardy and punter Mike Renaud.

The opening of the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark has been pushed back two weeks as the creative team scrambles to get through dress rehearsals and meet safety standards for the performers. Directed by Julie Taymor and featuring original songs by U2's Bono and The Edge, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark has been in development for over three years with a budget that has swelled to an eye-popping $60 million.
Spider-Man was scheduled to begin previews on November 14 and open on December 21, but it will now open in January and begin previews sometime late this month. Two actors were recently injured during rehearsals of the shows complex flying maneuvers, leading the New York Department of Labor to open an investigation into the safety of on-set working conditions. Until they are satisfied with the safety of the flying sequences the play can't open.
Watch U2 perform Spider-Man songs live
According to the New York Post, the cast has rehearsed all of the individual scenes—but they have yet to perform the musical straight through. "We're less than two weeks away, and we have no idea what the running time is going to be," a source told the Post. Adding to producers' concerns are reports that the play has only sold $8 million in advance tickets. While that would be a healthy figure for most productions, the massive budget for Spider-Man requires the show to be a mega-blockbuster if its backers simply want to break even.

Born on March 13, 1970, in New York City, Ray Reyes spent much of his childhood in Puerto Rico and was a member of the group Menudo. After leaving the band, he joined the band Project M and took part in a number of Menudo reunions.
Early Success
Ray Reyes was born on March 13, 1970, in New York City, and raised in Levittown, Puerto Rico. At the age of 13, he joined Menudo, a Latin-pop boy band founded in 1977 by Edgardo Diaz. During the band's New York tour, Reyes was tapped as the replacement for Xavier Serbia. Known as the "chubby" member of the band, Reyes was reportedly put on a diet when he joined the group.
His tenure in the band overlapped with that of future superstar Ricky Martin. His bandmates also included his younger brother, Raul. In 1984, Menudo gained fame in the United States when it released the English-language album Reaching Out. Reyes and his bandmates soon became teen-magazine pinups, gracing the pages of such publications as Tiger Beat and 16 Magazine. Throughout the early 1980s, they also appeared on a Saturday morning television show and had merchandise filling toy-store shelves.
In 1985, Reyes was asked to leave the band following a growth spurt and voice change that disqualified him from the group. To some, it was no surprise—the band (which was targeted at young teens) routinely kicked out members after they turned 16. Reyes said he was caught off guard by the dismissal, since he wasn't the oldest band member at the time. Just as he replaced Xavier Serbia, Reyes was eventually replaced by the younger Raymond Acevedo.
The Aftermath
Undeterred, Reyes joined the group Project M two years later. The band included ex-Menudo members Johnny Lozada, Rene Farrait and Xavier Serbia. Together, they released four albums and had a song featured as the title track of the Venezuelan telenovela Alba Marina.
In 1988, Reyes organized a reunion with former Menudo members Ricky Meléndez, Rene Farriat, Miguel Cancel and Johnny Lozada to mark their 15th anniversary as successful bandmates.
In 2005, Reyes reunited with his bandmates for a farewell tour, billed as El Reencuentro: Momento del Adios.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (also known as the LVMPD or Metro) is a joint city-county police force for the City of Las Vegas and Clark County, Nevada. It is headed by the Sheriff of Clark County, elected every four years. The current Sheriff of Clark County is Douglas C. Gillespie, who became sheriff in January 2007[1] and was elected to a second term in November 2010.[2] The sheriff is the only elected head law enforcement officer within the county, and, as such, the department is not under the direct control of the city, county or state.
Metro is the largest law enforcement agency in the state of Nevada, and one of the largest police agencies in the United States.[3]
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) was formed on July 1, 1973, by merging the Las Vegas Police Department with the Clark County Sheriff's Department. Metro serves the city limits of Las Vegas and the unincorporated areas of Clark County.
In 1999, an outside audit, commissioned by the City of Las Vegas and conducted by DMG-Maximus, commended the department for having fewer managers and supervisors than are typically found in large police agencies. The audit also said that the managers, both sworn and civilian, were of "excellent quality."[4] The auditors found that the recruitment and selection program was "among the best we have encountered in recent years." Although the city had planned to commission a second phase of the study, DMG-Maximus auditors said they were so impressed with the department that further study was unnecessary, saving the city $180,000 that had been allocated for the audit.[4]
Metro has more than 5,100 members. Of these, over 2,700 are police officers of various ranks and over 750 are corrections officers of various ranks.
Radio system[edit]
LVMPD operates on a digital radio system (DesertSky), which was turned on in 2011. In 2010, the agency began a transition from the former analog system to this new digital radio system. The transition to DesertSky has been slow, and some analog frequencies will remain for outside access after full utilization. DesertSky is LVMPD's nickname for official name of "OpenSky," developed by what is now Harris Corporation.
On October 11, 2012, after two years of battling dropped calls and dead zones in the department's new radio system, Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie has opted to drop Desert Sky. Sheriff Douglas Gillespie informed the CEO of the Harris Corp. that his company's Desert Sky radio system cannot meet his department's needs. That's a sharp change from past statements and advice to officers to remain patient while system bugs are fixed. "I believe we've given Harris every opportunity to make the system work," Gillespie said. "It's just not a reliable system."
The decision to dump Desert Sky comes in the midst of the Metropolitan Police Department's worst budget crisis ever. The county wide agency's projected budget of $502 million for fiscal year 2013-14 is $46 million more than projected revenues.
Police officials say hiring a vendor to build a replacement voice transmission system could cost $15 million to $20 million, and take 16 to 24 months.[5]
Construction was completed on LVMPD's 370,500-square-foot headquarters, located at 400 S. Martin L. King Boulevard, in mid 2011. The building consolidated 27 bureaus, which were previously located in leased buildings around Las Vegas. It also houses the Southern Nevada Counter Terrorism Center, Police Records, and a Fingerprint Bureau annex.
Fallen Officers[edit]
The LVMPD and the agencies that existed prior to consolidation to form the agency, the Clark County Sheriff's Office, and City of Las Vegas Police Department have had officers killed in action.
On February 22, 1978, Motorcycle Officer James Rogan was shot and killed by a suspect while making a traffic stop on Paradise Road. During the stop the suspect suddenly shot him. As Officer Rogan laid on the ground the suspect stood over him and fired several more shots.
On March 18, 1979, Correctional Officer James Harbin was shot and killed while on his way to work when he interrupted a robbery at a local convenience store. As he entered the store the clerk tried to warn him that a robbery was in progress. When the suspect saw Officer Harbin in uniform he opened fire, thinking Officer Harbin was a police officer. The suspect was apprehended after holding officers at bay for several hours.
On August 12, 1979, Officer Clark Wooldridge was killed in an automobile accident while responding to a report of a fight caused by a traffic crash. During the response his patrol car collided with another vehicle, overturned, and became engulfed in flames. Another officer who was responding to the call was able to pull Officer Wooldridge, who was unconscious, from the vehicle. The officer, along with the assistance of a citizen, carried him away from the burning car. He was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries two days later.
On October 11, 1988, Motorcycle Officer Marc Kahre was shot and killed while following a shooting suspect. While on patrol Officer Kahre spotted the suspect and began to follow him as he requested backup to make a traffic stop. Before backup could arrive the suspect suddenly stopped and opened fire, striking Officer Kahre in the head. At the same time a second officer arrived and returned fire, striking the suspect five times, wounding him. The suspect was able to get back into his car and drive away. He crashed the vehicle a short time later and committed suicide.
On October 23, 1992, Officer Donald Weese was killed while responding to a call for help of an officer under fire. Officer Weese was responding in code along with a trainee and entered an intersection. A vehicle, whose driver did not see Officer Weese's cruiser, entered the intersection as well and broadside the cruiser, causing it to spin into a light post. Officer Weese was killed instantly and his trainee sustained other injuries. The rescue department had to use the Jaws-of-Life in order to free Officer Weese's body from the wreckage.
On March 24, 1998, Officer Russell L. Peterson was killed while participating in a training exercise for the police department's Search and Rescue Team.
In 2006, Sergeant Henry Prendes became the first Metro officer in 18 years to be shot and killed in the line of duty. Officer Donald Weese died in the line of duty in 1989 as a result of a traffic accident, Officer Russell Peterson died in 1998 during a training exercise near Mount Charleston. Officer Marc Kahre was shot and killed in the line of duty in 1988. He was the 22nd law enforcement official to be killed on duty in Clark County since the City of Las Vegas was founded.[6]
In the early morning hours of May 7, 2009, Officer James "Jamie" Manor of Enterprise Area Command was driving in excess of 100 MPH without flashing lights or siren and killed as a result of a traffic collision while en route to a possible domestic violence call.[7] Officer Manor was the 23rd officer in Clark County to be killed in the line of duty.
On the night of October 7, 2009, Officer Milburn "Millie" Beitel and another officer in the passenger seat were both seriously injured in a single-vehicle crash. Officer Beitel died the early morning hours of October 8, 2009 from his injuries. The accident happened exactly five months after Officer James Manor died in a crash in his patrol car.
On November 19, 2009, Officer Trevor Nettleton was shot to death in his garage after exchanging fire with 3 men in a botched robbery attempt. Metro considers this death 'in the line of duty' as he drew his police weapon in defense of himself and family and has been laid to rest with full police honors.
On November 21, 2009, Corrections Officer Daniel Leach, while on duty, was killed in a car accident near Searchlight, Nevada.
On July 22, 2013, Police Officer Dave Vanbuskirk died after falling during a night-time aerial rescue operation of a hiker on Mount Charleston. The hiker had become disoriented and was stranded on a rock ledge near Mary Jane Falls. A Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department helicopter located the hiker and lowered Officer Vanbuskirk to the location. Officer Vanbuskirk, a member of the Search and Rescue Section, attached the hiker to the hoist. As the helicopter began to raise the two to the helicopter Officer Vanbuskirk became detached from the line and fell to the canyon floor below.
The department is funded by both the City of Las Vegas and Clark County. Funding is based on a complex formula that includes population, calls for service, and felony crimes in the prior year. Both governments must approve the annual budget including their percentage of budget. Additionally the department itself generates approximately 33% of its funds through property tax, and the charging for certain services, such as special events, work cards, and privileged license investigations. Additional funding is generated from a special sales tax to fund commissioned positions. By state law, the sheriff is charged with running the county jail, known as the Clark County Detention Center or CCDC, which is funded solely by the government and tax base of Clark County.
There are two commissioned career tracks in the LVMPD. They have identical civil service rank structures and pay, but different day-to-day tasks and responsibilities.
- Corrections: These officers are tasked with operating, managing and supervising the Clark County Detention Center: there are over 750 currently.
- Corrections Officer 690
- Corrections Sergeant 66
- Corrections Lieutenant 19
- Corrections Captain 6
- Police: These officers are assigned all over the department; there are over 2700 currently.
- Police Officer 2263
- Police Sergeant 281
- Police Lieutenant 74
- Police Captain 22
Major patrol responsibilities are covered by bike patrols, motorcycle units and patrol cars assigned to the following units:
The LVMPD is divided into eight urban area commands:
- Bolden (Sectors U and W) - serves the west central portion of the city, including the old westside, an area bordered by I-15, US-95, Rancho Drive and Lake Mead Boulevard.
- Convention Center (Sector M) - Las Vegas Strip and Las Vegas Convention Center areas
- Downtown (Sectors A, B and C)- this division serves Downtown Las Vegas and areas roughly east of Eastern, south of Owens and north of Sahara Avenue to include the 'Naked City' and Fremont Street areas.

The LVMPD is led by the sheriff, second in command is the undersheriff, who is assisted by four assistant sheriffs. The Office of Intergovernmental Services, the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Public Information, the Office of Finance, The Police Employee Assistance Program (PEAP), and the Office of the Sheriff Executive Staff report to the undersheriff.
Four of the six elected Clark County sheriffs since the LVMPD was consolidated in 1973 are former members of either the Clark County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) or Las Vegas Police Department (LVPD). Former Sheriff Young and current Sheriff Gillespie are retired members of the LVMPD (that is they were commissioned solely as members of the LVMPD) Sheriff Gillespie rose to, and retired at, the appointed rank of undersheriff prior to assuming public office as the duly elected Sheriff of Clark County.
The ranks of undersheriff, assistant sheriff, and deputy chief are appointed from the highest civil service rank of captain. These positions serve at the pleasure of the sheriff and as such, if they lose the confidence of the person who holds that office, they can be returned to their civil service rank of captain if they choose not to simply retire. Division directors are civilian appointees that head divisions as would a deputy chief. Of additional note, at various points in the department's history the appointed rank of Commander has been used between the ranks of deputy chief and captain.
The undersheriff is second in command to the sheriff. The position is currently held by Undersheriff Jim Dixon.
The Law Enforcement Services Group Assistant Sheriff (currently Assistant Sheriff Joseph Lombardo) oversees two divisions, each overseen by a deputy chief or division director. The divisions are: Technical Services Division (made up of the Criminalistics Bureau, Police Records Bureau, Fingerprint Bureau, and Logistics Bureau); Professional Standards Division (Office of Human Resources, Organizational Development Bureau, and the Internal Affairs Bureau). Additionally, the Information Technologies Bureau reports directly to Assistant Sheriff Lombardo.
The Law Enforcement Operations Group Assistant Sheriff (currently Assistant Sheriff Theodore Moody) oversees 2 divisions, both led by a deputy chief. The divisions are: Detention Services Division (made up of the DSD Records Bureau, South Tower Bureau, Central Booking Bureau, North Tower Bureau, Administrative Operations Bureau, and the Staff Operations Bureau), and the Patrol Division (made up of the Downtown Area Command, Bolden Area Command, Northeast Area Command, Northwest Area Command, Enterprise Area Command, Convention Center Area Command, Southeast Area Command, and the South Central Area Command)
The Law Enforcement Investigations and Support Group Assistant Sheriff (currently Assistant Sheriff Ray Flynn) oversees two divisions, both led by a deputy chief. The divisions are: The Investigative Services Division (made up of the Robbery/Homicide Bureau, Crimes Against Youth/Family Bureau, Gang Crimes Bureau, and the Financial/Property Crimes Bureau), and the Special Operations Division (made up of the Airport Bureau, Communications Bureau, Support Operations Bureau, and the Traffic Bureau).
The Homeland Security Investigations and Support Group Assistant Sheriff (currently Greg McCurdy) oversees a single division. The Homeland Security Division is led by a deputy chief consists of the Southern Nevada Counterterrorism Center (SNCTC), Emergency Operations Bureau, Organized Crime Bureau, and the Vice/Narcotics Bureau.
Area commands and bureaus are typically led by captains. The captains in turn manage a staff of 1 to 4 lieutenants who in turn manage a staff of 4 or 5 sergeants. Sergeants typically supervise 6-12 police officers, corrections officers, or detectives and civilian support staff. Sections are typically led by lieutenants.
A typical substation or area command has a captain, three or four police lieutenants, sixteen police sergeants, and 130-150 police officers.[citation needed]
Volunteer program[edit]
The department maintains an active volunteer program called the Metro Volunteer Program or MVP. The program publishes a monthly newsletter available on the department web site. MVPs are used within the department in any area that is not law enforcement as the volunteers are not law enforcement officers.
The program was honored in 2011 as the winner for Outstanding Achievement in Law Enforcement Volunteer Program by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.[8]
- LVMPD Recruit Training Academy
The LVMPD operates its own training academy--officially the LVMPD Recruit Training Academy, but referred to by members the department as 'The Academy'.[citation needed] New recruits are required to attend a 26-week academy. This includes those who have attended another police academy. The academy is composed of a hand-picked training staff of senior police officers who are recognized experts in multiple fields, including police academics, patrol tactics, procedure, defensive tactics/martial arts, physical fitness, and firearms skills.
The academy is headquartered at the Jerry Keller Training Facility next to the Northwest Area Command station. The first 12 weeks are held at that location. During the initial phase, the recruits' training is centered around intense physical conditioning, basic defensive tactics, and academic classroom instruction.
The remainder of the academy is located at the Mojave Training Facility adjacent to the Northeast Area Command. At this facility, the recruit's training becomes less academic-based and far more practical-application-based. The concentration of the curriculum focuses on intense defensive tactics/martial art instruction and advanced police tactics. It is also during this phase that the police recruit receives firearms training and the Emergency Vehicle Operator's Course.
The LVMPD Recruit Training Academy is nationally regarded as one of the toughest police academies in the nation, both physically and academically.[citation needed] The drop-out rate is roughly 35 percent.[citation needed]
In addition to police academics, the recruits must successfully complete a basic Spanish language program which is taught throughout the academy training.
The LVMPD runs a separate academy for corrections officer. This academy is located inside the Clark County Detention Center (CCDC).[citation needed] and is similar to the police academy, but somewhat shorter in duration.
On June 15, 2012, the Las Vegas Sun reported that Sheriff Doug Gillespie announced in a video release that LVMPD is instituting a hiring freeze as it faces a potential deficit of nearly $70 million in its 2013-14 budget, and that a Metro Police Corrections Academy currently under way would continue, but a Metro Police Academy scheduled for July would be canceled.[9]
- Field Training and Evaluation Program (FTEP)
Upon successful completion of academy, the new officers' training continues during a 19-week Field Training and Evaluation Program (FTEP), during which new officer rides side-by-side with a certified Field Training Officer (FTO) who grades and evaluates the new officers.
The role of the FTO is also to train the new officer in real-world application of the skills learned at the academy in a student/master relationship. The new officer is assigned to a new FTO every three weeks for a total of six FTOs over two 'phases' (9 weeks in Phase 1, 10 weeks Phase 2). The new officer must show a measured level of skill and competency to advance through the phases.
The final three weeks FTEP are 'solo' weeks in which the new officer rides by himself or herself for at least two shifts per week under the close scrutiny of his/her final FTO. At the successful completion of the FTEP program, the new officer is transferred to his/her first duty patrol squad and is officially a police officer.
From the day the recruit enters the academy to the day he or she completes training and is a solo police officer patrolling the street is 45 weeks.
- In-Service / Continued Training and Education
The LVMPD also places emphasis on its continuing training for its sworn police officers. LVMPD officers are required to attend quarterly firearms training and re-qualifications, quarterly defensive tactics training, a vigorous annual Advanced Officer Survival Tactics course, various required on-line classes per year.
One complete shift every two weeks is also dedicated for squad-level training. This does not include special skill or specialized unit specific mandated training. The LVMPD encourages its officers to attend as much training as is possible to learn new skills and stay current with cutting-edge law enforcement techniques and tactics.
The Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC) takes place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Police officers complete their initial course of training for EVOC at the academy. Commissioned officers then must re-certify every two years during an additional 10-hour EVOC course.
Motorcycle officers must initially attend and pass a three-week police Motorcycle Riders Course. They then must re-certify every six months in order to continue operating a motorcycle for duty.
- Citizen training
The department also operates two Citizen's Police Academies.[10] One of these is a regular academy and the second is a Spanish Citizen's Police Academy.

Specialized unit specifics[edit]
SWAT The LVMPD SWAT team is a nationally respected organization.[citation needed] The team, composed of nearly 40 operators, is one of a handful of full-time SWAT teams in the country. The team's main objective is to save lives, victims as well as suspects. They are on the cutting edge on the use of a constantly changing array of less-lethal weapons and munitions. Team members are highly trained and work in no less than two-man cells. They are referred to as Zebra units and not called the 'Zebra Squadron' as it is asserted by the narrator on an often repeated cable documentary. However, their designated LVMPD call sign is Z, phonetically in the LVMPD alphabet- Zebra. The individual officers are denoted by their seniority in the unit. Therefore, Z1 (or Zebra 1) is the most senior operator and Z37 is the junior. This nomenclature applies to other units within the department as well. LVMPD SWAT conducts their training both for LVMPD recruits and seasoned officers within the department plus visiting agencies from across the country. In any given year, they will respond to an average of 55 hostage incidents and execute over 365 high risk search warrants and/or arrest warrants.[citation needed]
Traffic Also called 'Motors' is currently the largest of all-Harley Davidson fleet in the country[citation needed] and has over 160 officers assigned. Traffic does specialized enforcement as dictated by the Office of the Sheriff, on the freeways, main and secondary roads, and schools. Motors is responsible for the majority of the DUI arrests and citations written in Clark County. These units are called "Tom" units - with a 3-digit or 4-digit number (the first designating its shift, and the last two or three digits representing the officer's seniority). E.g. T3115 would be a swing shift (3) officer who is 115th in seniority within the unit.
Currently, the LVMPD K-9 Detail has 21 officers (including three sergeants) and 21 patrol dogs, trained to locate human scent. These dogs search for suspects, lost victims, and evidence that suspects may have discarded. Seven are European bred German Shepherds, one Dutch Shepherd, and 13 are Belgian Malinois.
LVMPD has 15 detection dogs, nine are narcotic detector dogs which are trained to locate marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. They use hunting breeds such as Springer Spaniels and Labrador Retrievers. They also have six explosive detector dogs used to locate various explosives. In addition to the dogs assigned to K-9, LVMPD has six other narcotic detector dogs. Five of these dogs are assigned to the Narcotics Detail, Interdiction Team. They have one Springer Spaniel, and a Black and Yellow Labrador. The sixth is assigned to the Resident Section, Laughlin, and is a Black Labrador.[citation needed]

Firearms training takes place at the LVMPD John T Moran Tactical Firearms Training Facility located near Nellis Air Force Base.The facility is used by numerous local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. At the facility, recruits receive several weeks of firearms training during the academy. Commissioned police officers must attend firearms re-qualification four times a year. This re-qualification is for all firearms. The qualifications include known-distance targets and tactical courses of fire in both regular and low-light.
Clark County Detention Center[edit]
The department operates the detention facility. It is used to house inmates arrested in their patrol area, with the exception of misdemeanors committed in the City of Las Vegas, which maintains its own jail. In addition, it also holds persons who are wanted for extradition to another jurisdiction, persons who are awaiting a bail hearing or trial, or those persons serving a sentence of 364 days or less.
Since the late 1970s, more than 100 LVMPD officers and civilian employees have been implicated in documented instances of police misconduct and/or actual criminal activity, with several incidents resulting in lawsuit settlements in excess of a million dollars a piece.

Publisher's Description
Author Bio
Author Bio
Despite the initial groan from the well-known theme of the story, I was quickly drawn in by the easy-going language and frequent, fast-action flashbacks. Pictures of the sisters earlier lives create life-like characters and an understanding of their motivations and personalities. The close relationship of the sisters in their youth when contrasted with their strained relationship at Roxys return is heartbreaking. An added twist in the relationship comes from Wyatt, Roxys former boyfriend, now Elenas fiancée. The stress from that situation was enough to keep me on edge and turning pages.
Roxy, though arrogant and frustrating in many of the flashbacks, undergoes a transformation that makes her character easy to like, both by the reader and the other characters in the story. It is Elena, however, who is the more complex character. Despite the fact that she is the good sister who has been hurt by Roxys actions, her unforgiving nature and harsh treatment of her sister makes her easy to dislike. At the same time, she is the character I found myself relating to most in the story. The honesty of her response to her sister and the picture of her trying to justify her actions to herself is exactly something I would do. I can appreciate Elena because I can see myself in her, as much as Id rather point the finger and judge.
Even if, like me, you hesitate when you first pick up the book, you will have a hard time putting it down. With characters you can relate to, and a plot that keeps you turning pages, Return to Me is a unique version of an old story. Bethany Wheeler, Christian Book Previews.com
