Doolittle (BART station)
The Doolittle Station is a car barn and proposed Bay Area Rapid Transit station that is part of the Coliseum–Oakland International Airport line line.
Overview
The station area was proposed the vicinity of the intersection at Hegenberger Road and Doolittle Drive. A former union house was demolished in order to clear room for the barn.
The BART to Oakland International Airport automated guideway transit (people mover) system opened in November 2014. However Doolittle Station with passenger traffic did not open with it as there was no funding available for completion. It is in that sense a ghost station whose basic infrastructure will be set up but which will not be completely built and could potentially become an infill station at a future time. The City of Oakland suggested this station as a site that would support the city's efforts to revitalize the Hegenberger Road Corridor.

Doolittle (album)
Doolittle is the second studio album from the American alternative rock band Pixies, released in April 1989 on 4AD. The album's offbeat and dark subject material, featuring references to surrealism, Biblical violence, torture and death, contrasts with the clean production sound achieved by the newly hired producer Gil Norton. Doolittle was the Pixies' first international release, with Elektra Records acting as the album's distributor in the United States and PolyGram in Canada.
Pixies released two singles from Doolittle, "Here Comes Your Man" and "Monkey Gone to Heaven", both of which were chart successes on the US chart for Modern Rock Tracks. The album itself reached number eight on the UK Albums Chart, an unexpected success for the band. In retrospect, album tracks such as "Debaser", "Wave of Mutilation", "Monkey Gone to Heaven", "Gouge Away", and "Hey" are highly acclaimed by critics, while the album, along with debut LP Surfer Rosa, is often seen as the band's strongest work.

Reactor (video game)
Reactor is a raster video arcade game released in 1982 by Gottlieb. The object of the game is to cool down the reactor core without being hurled by magnetism and repulsion by enemy swarms of nuclear particles.
Reactor was developed by Tim Skelly, who was also responsible for Star Castle and Solar Quest. It was the first arcade game to credit the developer on the game's title screen.
Gameplay
The player controls a cursor that can move freely within a screen-sized arena, the nuclear reactor. The center contains a sun-type gravitational power source, the slowly overheating reactor core. The surrounding wall or the sun, if touched results in death. The cursor is controlled with a trackball by the player, who has to roll it fast in one direction in order to overcome the momentum of gravitation imposed by the sun. Swarms of enemy objects named after various radioactive particles float around in the reactor arena, obeying simple physical laws. These enemies can freely bounce into the walls at low speeds, have a repulsive force against each other and actively attack the player cursor. Boss types often break up into several smaller particles.
Reactor (software)
Reactor is a physics engine from the Irish software company Havok for use in Autodesk 3ds Max.
Overview
Reactor shipped fully integrated with 3ds max from versions 5 to 2011. In 3ds max 2012, Reactor was replaced by a PhysX-based engine called MassFX. Reactor was often used for realistic physics simulation that would be difficult or time-consuming to animate by hand.
Dynamics types
Reactor is capable of computing rigid body, soft body, cloth and rope collisions, and even all four types interacting with each other. A robust physics engine, reactor can handle several hundred rigid bodies interacting with each other without a problem on most computers. Reactor can also simulate dynamics of any supported type interacting with a water volume, including adjustable viscosity and depth, among other things.
Forces and constraints
Reactor includes a large number of forces that can be used in simulation, apart from the default gravity: springs, dashpots, motors, wind, fractures (breakable objects), even a "toy car" type, with definable body/axis/wheels. Reactor also has many constraints available, including hinges, point-to-point constraints, prismatic constraints, car-wheel constraints, point-to-path constraints, and even ragdoll constraints to realistically simulate a lifeless body. In addition, reactor is compatible with Space Warp modifiers in 3ds max.
