The case: Three disabled people who like to use Segways are suing Walt Disney World in federal court. Disney has denied the travelers permission to bring their upright, two-wheeled, motorized scooters into Disney theme parks. The background: Disney allows hand-powered and motorized wheelchairs in its parks. But the company bans the use of Segways during regular park hours because it says that the machines are faster than wheelchairs and are more likely to cause accidents. As for the plaintiffs, each of them cannot walk far because of different reasons: multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease, and an amputated foot. The larger issue: Between 4,000 and 7,000 people with disabilities move about on Segways. And several of these people with disabilities believe that Segways are more dignified to use than wheelchairs. [via the Orlando Sentinel] EARLIER Too disabled to fly?

We just can't blog fast enough to keep up with the breakneck pace of Beijing's development, which extends well beyond its Olympics-related construction. Earlier this week, the city welcomed the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA). One of China's few non-profit, privately funded arts organizations, the UCCA will host lectures and screenings of experimental films—in addition to contemporary shows, such as an inaugural one on the Chinese 1985 New Wave movement. The UCCA's spare galleries, exposed support beams, and 31-foot-high ceilings recall the Bauhaus-style building's original function as an electronics factory. It's a natural fit for the 798 art district in Beijing's northeastern Dashanzi neighborhood, which got its start in the 1990s, when massive factories were converted into galleries, boutiques, and cafés. UCCA, 798 art district, 4 Jiuxianqiao Lu, 011-86/(0)10-8459-9269, ullens-center.org, 30 RMB (about $4); closed Mondays. Photo of an exhibition hall, courtesy of the UCCA.
