- "Every pimp must have one."
- — GTA Vice City Website
The Virgo is a two-door car featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
Between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Virgo is depicted as a luxury two-door American coupe, resembling a 1977–1979 Mercury Cougar, combined with a 1977-1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V, the front of the Virgo is also similar to the front of the 1979-1981 Chrysler New Yorker. The side windows, front end and bulge on the trunk resemble the Cougar; the taillights resemble those of the Continental Mark V, albeit with some lights missing. In terms of color choices, the Virgo may come with a variety of colors for the vinyl landau depending on the body color, including black, brown, cream, white, or in GTA Vice City Stories' case, the same matching color as the body's.
In GTA IV, the Virgo (with a Dundreary brand) is based on a 1977-1979 Mercury Cougar with some minor hints of a 1977-79 Lincoln Mark V. The taillights are similar to both 1977-79 Ford Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar. The rear is also quite similar to the Remington from GTA San Andreas. There is also a special two tone Virgo that Little Jacob owns.
The car still unknown based maybe not so far from GTA IV Version.
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
In the GTA III Era, the Virgo possesses generally average performance credentials, with moderate acceleration, responsive steering, and a mediocre top speed. Its weight and crash endurance are unremarkable.
Powering the rear wheels of the Virgo is a 5.8-litre normally-aspirated small block V8, coupled with a 5-speed gearbox. The engine feels rather restricted in terms of power, resulting in rather torpid acceleration mid-range. This shortage of brute force doesn't seem to have limited the top speed to such a degree; this will top 145 mph. One thing this car can do exceptionally well is corner. Despite being a large, ungainly classic American car, when pushed to the limit it is perfectly capable of attacking corners vigorously with just the mere suggestion of oversteer, being an ideal weapon of choice in classic car races. It also glides around bends with such docility when driving in a relaxed fashion, though even at low speeds body roll can be pronounced. Old drums behind the wheels make for rather poor braking, and only very few Virgos have fully functioning ABS.
In GTA IV, Little Jacob drives a uniquely colored maroon-and-black Virgo which he uses to sell and transport firearms from the trunk.
Little Jacob's Virgo is available to the player in the beginning of "Concrete Jungle". Niko is able to take it to his safehouse and complete the mission in another car. You can also obtain the Virgo when you have escaped the cops in "Russian Revolution", you can drive to your safehouse, and complete the mission in another vehicle.
Niko can also find Little Jacob's Virgo at a an unnamed church in Suffolk in the mission "Mr and Mrs Bellic". It is unobtainable while wearing a suit and tie, because once the player gets close to the car, it triggers a cutscene. You can take it while wearing casual clothes however, because the cutscene only occurs once you are dressed appropriately.
- The Virgo cameos in a picture from Starkweather's mansion in Manhunt. Several safehouses in GTA San Andreas have the same picture hanging on the wall (the picture was originally a beta screenshot for GTA Vice City).
- The abovementioned beta model for GTA Vice City was called the "Cougar", further indicating that the vehicle is based on a Mercury Cougar. The only difference between the "Cougar" beta vehicle and the regular Virgo is that the former retains the full set of taillights from the Lincoln Continental Mark V.
- On the Vice City official web-site you can find comment to Virgo, that every pimp must have one.
- The Virgo plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Bounce FM in GTA San Andreas.
- Paradise FM in GTA Vice City Stories.
- Massive B Soundsystem 96.9 or Tuff Gong Radio in GTA IV.
- The Virgo in GTA IV looks like the GTA III Era Esperanto.
- The Virgo in GTA IV is one of two vehicles to have red rear indicators, along with the Vapid Taxi and Police Cruiser
- The car may be sold at Stevie's S&M Auto Sales for a maximum of $1,800 (in perfect condition) after completion of Stevie's Car Thefts in GTA IV.
- GTA Vice City
- Downtown.
- Prawn Island.
- Near North Point Mall.
- Vice Point.
The vehicle is very rare to find, it's maybe seen in the parking lot in Downtown. It is advisable to drive around in a lower-end car to increase the chances of the car spawning.
- GTA San Andreas
- Sometimes found around east areas of Los Santos.
- Spawn more often once the Beater/Junk Car traffic cheat has been activated.
- Occasionally found around Rockshore West, Las Venturas.
- GTA Vice City Stories
- On a driveway in a housing complex just south from the Washington Mall construction site, Ocean Beach.
- In a parking lot near the east entrance of Escobar International Airport.
- Spawn around Northwood, North Holland and East Holland, Algonquin.
- Spawn around Beechwood City/Schottler, Broker
- Spawn around Acter, Alderney.
- Spawn around Alderney City, Alderney.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Community members and friends of Alexandria Officer Peter Laboy, shot in the head two weeks ago, raised more than $75,000 at a weekend fundraiser for his family.
People lined up out the door at a restaurant for a fundraiser and auction for Officer Laboy.
"The business community, the general community at large – they've just been amazing," said Alexandria Police Capt. Shahram Fard. "We've gotten thousands of dollars of donations, retailers have donated things from their stores."
Laboy was shot in late February while making a routine traffic stop in late February. His family says he's getting better every day.
The Alexandria Police Association and the restaurant Virtue Feed and Grain jointly hosted the fundraiser at the popular Old Town Alexandria restaurant.
There was a mandatory minimum $10 donation at the door, which included food. There were also silent and live auctions for restaurant gift certificates, hockey sticks and jerseys signed by Washington Capitals players and other sports memorabilia.
Kurt Dove made the trip from Columbus, Ohio to be at the fundraiser. He now serves as a federal police officer there, but Laboy was his first field training officer in Alexandria.
"He's my friend, he's my brother," Dove said. "He'd be here for me, so I'm definitely here for him."
"He was a great officer, a great father, a great friend," he added. "Everybody knows that. That's why they're here."
A fundraising event held Saturday at the Port City Brewing company raised $1,500. Organizers say another fundraiser is planned for April.
Donations for the Officer Peter Laboy fund should be dropped off at the Alexandria Police Department, 3600 Wheeler Avenue, Alexandria, Va. 22304.
Donations can also be sent through the mail:

AP Environmental Science Chapter 10- Minerals
Chapter Objectives
- Define minerals, and list their common types and uses.
- Outline the formation and mineral content of economically important types of ore deposits.
- Describe surface and sub-surface mining techniques, and analyze the consequences of each to landscapes, habitats, and mining interests.
The earth's crust is composed of many kinds of rocks, each of which is an aggregate of one or more minerals. In geology, the term mineral describes any naturally-occurring solid substance with a specific composition and crystal structure. A mineral's composition refers to the kinds and proportions of elements making up the mineral. The way these elements are packed together determines the structure of the mineral. More than 3,500 different minerals have been identified. There are only 12 common elements (oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, titanium, hydrogen, manganese, phosphorus) That occur in the earth's crust. They have abundances of 0.1 percent or more. All other naturally occurring elements are found in very minor or trace amounts.
Silicon and oxygen are the most abundant crustal elements, together comprising more than 70 percent by weight. It is therefore not surprising that the most abundant crustal minerals are the silicates (e.g. olivine, Mg2SiO4), followed by the oxides (e.g. hematite, Fe2O3).
Other important types of minerals include: the carbonates (e.g. calcite, CaCO3) the sulfides (e.g. galena, PbS) and the sulfates (e.g. anhydrite, CaSO4). Most of the abundant minerals in the earth's crust are not of commercial value. Economically valuable minerals (metallic and nonmetallic) that provide the raw materials for industry tend to be rare and hard to find. Therefore, considerable effort and skill is necessary for finding where they occur and extracting them in sufficient quantities.
Economic value of minerals
Minerals that are of economic value can be classified as metallic or nonmetallic. Metallic minerals are those from which valuable metals (e.g. iron, copper) can be extracted for commercial use. Metals that are considered geochemically abundant occur at crustal abundances of 0.1 percent or more (e.g. iron, aluminum, manganese, magnesium, titanium). Metals that are considered geochemically scarce occur at crustal abundances of less than 0.1 percent (e.g. nickel, copper, zinc, platinum metals). Some important metallic minerals are: hematite (a source of iron), bauxite (a source of aluminum), sphalerite (a source of zinc) and galena (a source of lead). Metallic minerals occasionally but rarely occur as a single element (e.g. native gold or copper).
Nonmetallic minerals are valuable, not for the metals they contain, but for their properties as chemical compounds. Because they are commonly used in industry, they are also often referred to as industrial minerals.
They are classified according to their use. Some industrial minerals are used as sources of important chemicals (e.g. halite for sodium chloride and borax for borates). Some are used for building materials (e.g. gypsum for plaster and kaolin for bricks). Others are used for making fertilizers (e.g. apatite for phosphate and sylvite for potassium). Still others are used as abrasives (e.g. diamond and corrundum).
Mineral deposits
Minerals are everywhere around us. For example, the ocean is estimated to contain more than 70 million tons of gold. Yet, it would be much too expensive to recover that gold because of its very low concentration in the water. Minerals must be concentrated into deposits to make their collection economically feasible. A mineral deposit containing one or more minerals that can be extracted profitably is called an ore. Many minerals are commonly found together (e.g. quartz and gold; molybdenum, tin and tungsten; copper, lead and zinc; platinum and palladium). Because various geologic processes can create local enrichments of minerals, mineral deposits can be classified according to the concentration process that formed them. The five basic types of mineral deposits are: hydrothermal, magmatic, sedimentary, placer and residual.
Hydrothermal mineral deposits are formed when minerals are deposited by hot, aqueous solutions flowing through fractures and pore spaces of crustal rock.
Many famous ore bodies have resulted from hydrothermal deposition, including the tin mines in Cornwall, England and the copper mines in Arizona and Utah. Magmatic mineral deposits are formed when processes such as partial melting and fractional crystallization occur during the melting and cooling of rocks. Pegmatite rocks formed by fractional crystallization can contain high concentrations of lithium, beryllium and cesium. Layers of chromite (chrome ore) were also formed by igneous processes in the famous Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa.
Several mineral concentration processes involve sedimentation or weathering. Water soluble salts can form sedimentary mineral deposits when they precipitate during evaporation of lake or seawater (evaporite deposits). Important deposits of industrial minerals were formed in this manner, including the borax deposits at Death Valley and Searles Lake, and the marine deposits of gypsum found in many states.
Minerals with a high specific gravity (e.g. gold, platinum, diamonds) can be concentrated by flowing water in placer deposits found in stream beds and along shorelines. The most famous gold placer deposits occur in the Witwatersrand basin of South Africa. Residual mineral deposits can form when weathering processes remove water soluble minerals from an area, leaving a concentration of less soluble minerals. The aluminum ore, bauxite, was originally formed in this manner under tropical weathering conditions. The best known bauxite deposit in the United States occurs in Arkansas.

Mineral utilization
Minerals are not evenly distributed in the earth's crust. Mineral ores are found in just a relatively few areas, because it takes a special set of circumstances to create them. Therefore, the signs of a mineral deposit are often small and difficult to recognize. Locating deposits requires experience and knowledge. Geologists can search for years before finding an economic mineral deposit. Deposit size, its mineral content, extracting efficiency, processing costs and market value of the processed minerals are all factors that determine if a mineral deposit can be profitably developed. For example, when the market price of copper increased significantly in the 1970s, some marginal or low-grade copper deposits suddenly became profitable ore bodies.
After a potentially profitable mineral deposit is located, it is mined by one of several techniques. Which technique is used depends upon the type of deposit and whether the deposit is shallow and thus suitable for surface mining or deep and thus requiring sub-surface mining.
Surface mining techniques include: open-pit mining, area strip mining, contour strip mining and hydraulic mining. Open-pit mining involves digging a large, terraced hole in the ground in order to remove a near-surface ore body. This technique is used in copper ore mines in Arizona and Utah and iron ore mines in Minnesota.
Area strip mining is used in relatively flat areas. The overburden of soil and rock is removed from a large trench in order to expose the ore body. After the minerals are removed, the old trench is filled and a new trench is dug. This process is repeated until the available ore is exhausted. Contour strip mining is a similar technique except that it is used on hilly or mountainous terrains. A series of terraces are cut into the side of a slope, with the overburden from each new terrace being dumped into the old one below.
Hydraulic mining is used in places such as the Amazon in order to extract gold from hillsides. Powerful, high-pressure streams of water are used to blast away soil and rock containing gold, which is then separated from the runoff. This process is very damaging to the environment, as entire hills are eroded away and streams become clogged with sediment. If land subjected to any of these surface mining techniques is not properly restored after its use, then it leaves an unsightly scar on the land and is highly susceptible to erosion.
Some mineral deposits are too deep to be surface mined and therefore require a sub-surface mining method. In the traditional sub surface method a deep vertical shaft is dug and tunnels are dug horizontally outward from the shaft into the ore body. The ore is removed and transported to the surface. The deepest such subsurface mines (deeper than 3500 m) in the world are located in the Witwatersrand basin of South Africa, where gold is mined.
This type of mining is less disturbing to the land surface than surface mining. It also usually produces fewer waste materials. However, it is more expensive and more dangerous than surface mining methods.
A newer form of subsurface mining known as in-situ mining is designed to co-exist with other land uses, such as agriculture. An in-situ mine typically consists of a series of injection wells and recovery wells built with acid-resistant concrete and polyvinyl chloride casing. A weak acid solution is pumped into the ore body in order to dissolve the minerals. Then, the metal-rich solution is drawn up through the recovery wells for processing at a refining facility. This method is used for the in-situ mining of copper ore.
Once an ore has been mined, it must be processed to extract pure metal. Processes for extracting metal include smelting, electrowinning and heap leaching.
In preparation for the smelting process, the ore is crushed and concentrated by a flotation method. The concentrated ore is melted in a smelting furnace where impurities are either burned-off as gas or separated as molten slag. This step is usually repeated several times to increase the purity of the metal.
For the electrowinning method ore or mine tailings are first leached with a weak acid solution to remove the desired metal. An electric current is passed through the solution and pure metal is electroplated onto a starter cathode made of the same metal. Copper can be refined from oxide ore by this method. In addition, copper metal initially produced by the smelting method can be purified further by using a similar electrolytic procedure.
Gold is sometimes extracted from ore by the heap leaching process. A large pile of crushed ore is sprayed with a cyanide solution. As the solution percolates through the ore it dissolves the gold. The solution is then collected and the gold extracted from it. All of the refining methods can damage the environment. Smelters produce large amounts of air pollution in the form of sulfur dioxide which leads to acid rain. Leaching methods can pollute streams with toxic chemicals that kill wildlife.

Mineral Sufficiency and the Future
Mineral resources are essential to life as we know it. A nation cannot be prosperous without a reliable source of minerals, and no country has all the mineral resources it requires. The United States has about 5 percent of the world's population and 7 percent of the world's land area, but uses about 30 percent of the world's mineral resources. It imports a large percentage of its minerals; in some cases sufficient quantities are unavailable in the U.S., and in others they are cheaper to buy from other countries. Certain minerals, particularly those that are primarily imported and considered of vital importance, are stockpiled by the United States in order to protect against embargoes or other political crises. These strategic minerals include: bauxite, chromium, cobalt, manganese and platinum.
Because minerals are produced slowly over geologic time scales, they are considered non-renewable resources. The estimated mineral deposits that are economically feasible to mine are known as mineral reserves.
The growing use of mineral resources throughout the world raises the question of how long these reserves will last. Most minerals are in sufficient supply to last for many years, but a few (e.g. gold, silver, lead, tungsten and zinc) are expected to fall short of demand in the near future. Currently, reserves for a particular mineral usually increase as the price for that mineral increases. This is because the higher price makes it economically feasible to mine some previously unprofitable deposits, which then shifts these deposits to the reserves. However, in the long term this will not be the case because mineral deposits are ultimately finite.
There are ways to help prolong the life of known mineral reserves. Conservation is an obvious method for stretching reserves. If you use less, you need less. Recycling helps increase the amount of time a mineral or metal remains in use, which decreases the demand for new production.
It also saves considerable energy, because manufacturing products from recycled metals (e.g. aluminum, copper) uses less energy than manufacturing them from raw materials. Government legislation that encourages conservation and recycling is also helpful. The current "General Mining Act of 1872," however, does just the opposite. It allows mining companies to purchase government land very inexpensively and not pay any royalties for minerals extracted from that land. As a result, mineral prices are kept artificially low which discourages conservation and recycling.

Creating a simple module
From Joomla! Documentation
A module is a lightweight and flexible extension that is used for page rendering. They are used for small bits of the page that are generally less complex and are able to be seen across different components.
You can see many examples of modules in the standard Joomla! install: - menus - Latest News - Login form - and many more.
This tutorial will explain how to go about creating a simple Hello World module. Through this tutorial you will learn the basic file structure of a module. This basic structure can then be expanded to produce more elaborate modules.
File Structure
There are four basic files that are used in the standard pattern of module development:
- mod_helloworld.php - This file is the main entry point for the module. It will perform any necessary initialization routines, call helper routines to collect any necessary data, and include the template which will display the module output.
- mod_helloworld.xml - This file contains information about the module. It defines the files that need to be installed by the Joomla! installer and specifies configuration parameters for the module.
- helper.php - This file contains the helper class which is used to do the actual work in retrieving the information to be displayed in the module (usually from the database or some other source).
- tmpl/default.php - This is the module template. This file will take the data collected by mod_helloworld.php and generate the HTML to be displayed on the page.
Creating mod_helloworld.php
The mod_helloworld.php file will perform three tasks:
- include the helper.php file which contains the class to be used to collect the necessary data
- invoke the appropriate helper class method to retrieve the data
- include the template to display the output.
The helper class is defined in our helper.php file. This file is included with a require_once statement:
require_once( dirname(__FILE__).DS.'helper.php' );
require_once is used because our helper functions are defined within a class, and we only want the class defined once.
Our helper class has not been defined yet, but when it is, it will contain one method: getHello(). For our basic example, it is not really necessary to do this - the "Hello, World" message that this method returns could simply be included in the template. We use a helper class here to demonstrate this basic technique.
Our module currently does not use any parameters, but we will pass them to the helper method anyway so that it can be used later if we decide to expand the functionality of our module.
The helper class method is invoked in the following way:
$hello = modHelloWorldHelper::getHello( $params );
Completed mod_helloworld.php file
The complete mod_helloworld.php file is as follows:
<?php /** * Hello World! Module Entry Point * * @package Joomla.Tutorials * @subpackage Modules * @link http://dev.joomla.org/component/option,com_jd-wiki/Itemid,31/id,tutorials:modules/ * @license GNU/GPL, see LICENSE.php * mod_helloworld is free software. This version may have been modified pursuant * to the GNU General Public License, and as distributed it includes or * is derivative of works licensed under the GNU General Public License or * other free or open source software licenses. */ // no direct access defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' ); // Include the syndicate functions only once require_once( dirname(__FILE__).DS.'helper.php' ); $hello = modHelloWorldHelper::getHello( $params ); require( JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath( 'mod_helloworld' ) ); ?>
The one line that we haven't explained so far is the first line. This line checks to make sure that this file is being included from the Joomla! application. This is necessary to prevent variable injection and other potential security concerns.
Creating helper.php
The helper.php file contains that helper class that is used to retrieve the data to be displayed in the module output. As stated earlier, our helper class will have one method: getHello(). This method will return the 'Hello, World' message.
Here is the code for the helper.php file:
<?php /** * Helper class for Hello World! module * * @package Joomla.Tutorials * @subpackage Modules * @link http://dev.joomla.org/component/option,com_jd-wiki/Itemid,31/id,tutorials:modules/ * @license GNU/GPL, see LICENSE.php * mod_helloworld is free software. This version may have been modified pursuant * to the GNU General Public License, and as distributed it includes or * is derivative of works licensed under the GNU General Public License or * other free or open source software licenses. */ class modHelloWorldHelper { /** * Retrieves the hello message * * @param array $params An object containing the module parameters * @access public */ function getHello( $params ) { return 'Hello, World!'; } } ?>
There is no rule stating that we must name our helper class as we have, but it is helpful to do this so that it is easily identifiable and locateable.
More advanced modules might include database requests or other functionality in the helper class method.
Creating tmpl/default.php
The default.php file is the template which displays the module output.
The code for the default.php file is as follows:
<?php // no direct access defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' ); ?> <?php echo $hello; ?>
An important point to note is that the template file has the same scope as the mod_helloworld.php file. What this means is that the variable $hello can be defined in the mod_helloworld.php file and then used in the template file without any extra declarations or function calls.
Creating mod_helloworld.xml
The mod_helloworld.xml is used to specify which files the installer needs to copy and is used by the Module Manager to determine which parameters are used to configure the module. Other information about the module is also specified in this file.
The code for mod_helloworld.xml is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <extension type="module" version="2.5.0" client="site"> <name>Hello, World!</name> <author>John Doe</author> <version>1.0.0</version> <description>A simple Hello, World! module.</description> <files> <filename>mod_helloworld.xml</filename> <filename module="mod_helloworld">mod_helloworld.php</filename> <filename>index.html</filename> <filename>helper.php</filename> <filename>tmpl/default.php</filename> <filename>tmpl/index.html</filename> </files> <config> </config> </extension>
Manifest_files explains the technical details of the elements used in the XML file.
You will notice that there are two additional files that we have not yet mentioned: index.html and tmpl/index.html. These files are included so that these directories cannot be browsed. If a user attempts to point their browser to these folders, the index.html file will be displayed. These files can be left empty or can contain the simple line:
Invalid language.
You need to specify a language like this: <source lang="html4strict">...</source>
Supported languages for syntax highlighting:
abap, actionscript, actionscript3, ada, apache, applescript, apt_sources, asm, asp, autoit, avisynth, bash, basic4gl, bf, blitzbasic, bnf, boo, c, c_mac, caddcl, cadlisp, cfdg, cfm, cil, cobol, cpp, cpp-qt, csharp, css, d, delphi, diff, div, dos, dot, eiffel, email, fortran, freebasic, genero, gettext, glsl, gml, gnuplot, groovy, haskell, hq9plus, html4strict, idl, ini, inno, intercal, io, java, java5, javascript, kixtart, klonec, klonecpp, latex, lisp, lolcode, lotusformulas, lotusscript, lscript, lua, m68k, make, matlab, mirc, mpasm, mxml, mysql, nsis, objc, ocaml, ocaml-brief, oobas, oracle11, oracle8, pascal, per, perl, php, php-brief, pic16, pixelbender, plsql, povray, powershell, progress, prolog, providex, python, qbasic, rails, reg, robots, ruby, sas, scala, scheme, scilab, sdlbasic, smalltalk, smarty, sql, tcl, teraterm, text, thinbasic, tsql, typoscript, vb, vbnet, verilog, vhdl, vim, visualfoxpro, visualprolog, whitespace, winbatch, xml, xorg_conf, xpp, z80

which will display an empty page.
Since our module does not use any form fields, this section is empty.
Module development for Joomla! is a fairly simple, straightforward process. Using the techniques described in this tutorial, an endless variety of modules can be developed with little hassle.

MOUNT VERNON, Va. – Two men are recovering from injuries and an entire school is empty after a crane collapsed near Mount Vernon Tuesday.
The men sustained minor injuries as the crane crashed into the roof of St. Luke's Day School.
About 90 children and staff members were evacuated and sent home. School director Ann Marie Goggins says she felt that was the safest option for the school.
"I felt the crane shake a little, which it's not supposed to do," says crane operator Jim Perkins.
He knew immediately something was wrong and sprang into action as two of his colleagues dangled in a box about 100 feet above the ground, he says.
"I got the guys down as close to the roof as I could, and it started tipping over," Perkins says.
The workers were preparing to make repairs to the steeple, which soars above the building, when the crane crashed.
The accident remains under investigation by the crane company and Fairfax County fire officials
Follow @WTOP on Twitter.
The National Park Service has said the fire was likely human caused, but that remains under investigation.

Monica Lewinsky kept fairly mum in describing the details of her affair with former President Bill Clinton; that is until now.
Lewinsky is set to release a new tell-all book exposing the sexual secrets of their once hidden affair.
The former White House intern and mistress has compiled a book filled with accounts highlighting some of the kinky details of their sexual escapades.
Lewinsky 's friends told reporters that the book describes President Clinton's "insatiable desire for three-way sex, orgies and the use of sex toys of all kinds."
They also said the book exposes how President Clinton referred to his wife as a "cold fish" and "laughed" about their "non-existent sex life."
Sources report that Lewinsky has been soliciting the tell-all to publishers for several years now and finally landed a $12 million dollar deal.

Applied Materials Inc. Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (AMAT)
TheStreet) -- Applied Materials (Nasdaq: AMAT) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C+ . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, reasonable valuation levels and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- Although AMAT's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.23 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. To add to this, AMAT has a quick ratio of 1.54, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to $656.00 million or 9.51% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow, APPLIED MATERIALS INC's cash flow growth rate is still lower than the industry average growth rate of 23.57%.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 54.2% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $476.00 million to $218.00 million.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. When compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, APPLIED MATERIALS INC's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Multiplex will be back on Monday
Thursday, April 14, 2016
It's only been a couple of months since I said goodbye to Punk and today my fiancée Karyn and I had to say goodbye to her cat Sydney. Like Punk, she was eighteen years old and had multiple long-term health issues.
I only knew her for the last eight of her years, and although we had a contentious start, and she never got along with Punk, we grew to have a special bond. In the last few months, she would sit on me as I slept and be the first thing I saw almost every morning. She was a very sweet, ridiculously affectionate cat, and we will both miss her.
Multiplex is taking a very short break. I'll see you here Monday.

- "The almighty forgives Johnny, The Lost don't."
- ―Billy Grey
The Lost Motorcycle Club is an outlaw motorcycle club operating primarily out of Acter, Alderney City in the state of Alderney in 2008, and in Los Santos, San Andreas in 2013. The Alderney City chapter President (former Vice President) Johnny Klebitz is the protagonist in The Lost and Damned.
According to The Lost website, The Lost began in 1964 with eight US marines who met in Hanoi, Vietnam. After the war ended, they had a continued thirst for drugs and violence. Because of this, they started the club and named it 'The Lost' in honour of all their friends who had been killed in the war.
Alderney City chapter
Acter, Alderney City - State of Alderney
At the beginning of The Lost and Damned, the protagonist Johnny Klebitz is the acting President in the absence of Billy Grey, who had been incarcerated for drug charges.
Prominent members of the Alderney City chapter included the chapter's President Billy Grey, Vice President Johnny Klebitz, Treasurer/Lieutenant Jim Fitzgerald, Club Secretary/Lieutenant Brian Jeremy, Road Captain/Lieutenant Clay Simon, and Sergeant-at-Arms/Lieutenant Terry Thorpe. Other noteworthy members were Jason Michaels and Angus Martin, as well as old ladies Leila Sharpe and Ashley Butler.
Even though he is a member of The Lost MC, after some of Brian's faction was killed in End of Chapter, Johnny considers them as Alderney pisslickers.
Liberty City chapter
Broker, Liberty City - State of Liberty
The Lost MC also has a chapter in Broker, Liberty City. In 2008, Johnny met up with six bikers from The Lost's Broker chapter on the Broker Bridge. Jason also called for help to the Broker chapter when hired gunman Niko Bellic attacked him.
While there is no chapter in Algonquin, Johnny and other members of The Lost have been seen in Algonquin. The Liberty City chapter appears in GTA Chinatown Wars with members appearing as enemies in several missions.
Los Santos chapter
Sandy Shores, Los Santos - State of San Andreas
The emblem of a Los Santos chapter is seen on a fence in the "Trevor" portion of the third trailer. Trevor also hits a member of The Lost with a Baseball Bat. This is despite dialogue in The Lost and Damned that implies the club is limited to the Liberty City area. Though despite some dialogue from Johnny to Billy, it is possible that The Lost could have chapters spread throughout the east coast, though this is unconfirmed.
It is believed, though it remains unconfirmed, that The Lost MC has established a chapter in Sandy Shores to take advantage of nearby Los Santos and the criminal rackets it has on offer.
Mission appearences
- Clean and Serene
- Angels in America

Members and Associates
- Billy Grey - President until 2008. Arrested in 2003, released, betrayed, re-arrested and killed in 2008.
- Johnny Klebitz - Vice President until 2008. President from 2008.
- Jim Fitzgerald - Treasurer. Killed by Niko Bellic in 2008, on the orders of Ray Boccino.
- Terry Thorpe - Sergeant at Arms.
- Clay Simons - Road Captain.
- Brian Jeremy - Club Secretary until 2008. Betrayed the Lost and was killed in 2008.
- Jason Michaels - Enforcer. Killed by Niko Bellic in 2008, on the orders of Mikhail Faustin.
- Angus Martin - Lieutenant.
- Random Biker - Prospect. Betrayed The Lost along with Brian Jeremy and was killed in 2008.
- Dave Grossman - Prospect.
- Ashley Butler - Old lady.
- Leila Sharpe - Old lady.
- Thomas Stubbs - Congressman and business associate.
- Elizabeta Torres and Andreas - Business associates.
- Malc - Member of the Uptown Riders.
- DeSean - Member of the Uptown Riders.
- Ray Boccino - Formerly an associate, but became an enemy. Killed by Niko Bellic.
- Niko Bellic - Worked twice with Johnny Klebitz, secretly killed Jason Michaels and Jim Fitzgerald.
- It is mentioned that The Lost and the Angels of Death are in a war similar to the one between (names not mentioned, only Los Santos) the Grove Street Families and the Ballas. It should also be noted The Lost and their bitter rivals the Angels of Death. hate each other just as much as the Grove Street Families and Ballas do.
- It is very notable that the Lost Clubhouse resembles the Hells Angels New York Clubhouse. It has matching walls, doors and it's compact design is a match.
- The Lost are based on the Outlaws MC as referenced by The Lost's bitter rivalry with the Angels of Death who are in turn based on the Hells Angels. This rivarly parallels the real-life feud between the Outlaws and the Hells Angels. More proof of this is that The Lost MC's motto 'The Almighty Forgives, The Lost don't' is clearly based on the Outlaws MC motto 'The Almighty Forgives, Outlaws don't'.
- There have been ten presidents of The Lost MC's chapter in Alderney City (the last two being Billy Grey and Johnny Klebitz).
- In GTA IV if the player reaches Vigilante level and does a Grand theft auto mission, he will encounter members of The Lost carjacking.
- Billy Grey and Brian Jeremy were convicted of the same crime in the same year (murder in 1989). It's possible it was a two-man job and it might explain why Brian is so loyal to Billy.
- It's possible that members of The Lost are extorting or are employed by Globe Oil's offices in Berchem, Alderney, as Johnny refers to their rear parking lot as "Lost MC turf" during the mission "Liberty City Choppers".
- If the player looks at the memorial wall inside the clubhouse they can see that one of the fallen Lost members uses an Angels of Death model.
- Niko Bellic, Luis Fernando Lopez, Huang Lee, and even Johnny Klebitz have fought against the gang:
- Niko killed a few members in No Love Lost and No Way on the Subway on orders of Mikhail Faustin and Ray Boccino respectively (this resulted in the deaths of Jason Michaels and Jim Fitzgerald).
- Luis killed dozens of members in Frosting on the Cake when they disrupted the deal.
- Huang killed a few members on orders from Lester in order to secure Lester's position as a Triad mole in The Angels of Death.
- Johnny, Jim, Clay, and Terry killed the members under Brian's leadership in End of Chapter and Bad Standing for betraying Johnny.
- After Johnny, Terry, Clay and Angus burn down the clubhouse, it is highly likely (but not confirmed) that the Alderney City chapter is disbanded, as they they have no headquaters and have lost too many members to carry the chapter on, although you can still find some members after Get Lost in Gang Wars. However, motorcycle clubs have been known to recover from such devestation so there could be a future for Johnny's chapter.
- Like the FX Television show "Sons of Anarchy" the founders of the club are Vietnam War veterans.
- In GTA IV, TBoGT, and Chinatown Wars The Lost MC are the protagonist's enemies, but in The Lost and Damned, The Lost MC are allies, this is due to the fact that Johnny Klebitz (the player character in The Lost and Damned) is Vice-President (later President) of the Alderney City chapter. Members of The Lost will come to Johnny's aid as well as attacking any pedestrians that attack, or are attacked by, Johnny.
- A black burrito bearing a symbol used by The Lost Motorcycle Club can be seen in the GTA V Trailer #2. Also in Trevor's trailer, he is seen hitting a member of The Lost, and their logo is seen, when Trevor is firing his weapon. This lends strong proof to the fact that The Lost will appear in GTA V, the club has either formed a chapter in Los Santos or relocated to the city.
- Although they are enemies, in TBoGT, members of The Lost can be spotted outside The Angels of Death's clubhouse.
Notable tragedies
Before The Lost and Damned
- Night Hog died in 1982, as the first Lost casualty in their feud with the Angels of Death. Even after taking two shotgun shells to the face, he was standing up and firing his SMG before he died.
- Mitch died in 1985 when he was having sex on a moving bike, and was hit by a freight train.
- Bozo died in 1999 when he was shot directly in the head in a shootout with three police officers.
- Dirty Sue died in 2001 when he was drunk while driving his motorcycle, veered onto oncoming traffic and was hit by a truck.
- Harper died in 2006 in a methlab explosion. He had previously lost one of his ears in 2003 to a similar explosion. As told by The Lost website, he "didn't sell to homos - which is rare in this world of hypocrites and sellouts," suggesting The Lost are homophobic (though, unlike the Angels of Death, they are not racist and have befriended the Uptown Riders).
- Horse was killed by The Lost after turning state's evidence.
- Angus Martin is permanently crippled by an accident caused by Billy Grey.
- Wyatt is a propsect who was caught with several kilos of heroin and quickly arrested.
- Moose shot an undercover cop who infiltrated the Lost and was subsequently arrested.
- Jose was caught with meth that "wasn't his" and was later arrested.
During The Lost and Damned
- The truce between The Lost and the Angels of Death is demolished when Billy Grey kills a lieutenant of the Angels of Death.
- Jason Michaels and several bikers from The Lost's Broker chapter are killed by hired gunman Niko Bellic on orders from Mikhail Faustin.
- Brian Jeremy defects to start his own chapter, feuding with former Lost brother Johnny Klebitz and his faction. Johnny murders most of Brian's trustees, then kills Brian himself.
- Many members of the Broker chapter are killed by Luis Fernando Lopez after an attempt to kill him and Anthony Prince.
- Jim Fitzgerald is killed by Niko Bellic after an extended motorcycle chase. Johnny describes him as "the man we all wanted to be".
- Billy Grey is arrested during a botched heroin deal, and was about to turn state's evidence on Johnny Klebitz and Angus Martin when Johnny and other Lost members broke into the prison and executed Billy.
- The Lost's clubhouse is heavily damaged by Ray Boccino, and then burned down by the remaining members of the Alderney chapter to "put it out of its misery."
During Grand Theft Auto V
- The Lost enters a violent war with a Sandy Shores resident by the name of Trevor Phillips. The war began over the right to sell weapons and drugs in the area which Trevor claims control over but The Lost MC disputes.

Columbus Tustin Magnet's annual Science Fair was a huge success.
All sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders participated in the experimental process and presented their projects in December.
Adults from the community judged each project and awarded first-, second- and third-place ribbons to the top performers.
More than 500 parents, teachers, administrators, family and friends attended the evening Science Fair event to listen to students explain their experiments, share data they collected and answer questions about their analysis.
Our top participants will have an opportunity to compete in the Orange County Science and Engineering Fair in March.
Here's a sampling of what students said about the event:
"It was so much fun creating my project. It makes me wish it wasn't over. I was very excited to see everyone's science projects. The projects were amazing and the fair was fun." – Julie Fuller, seventh-grade
"The Science Fair was awesome! I had so much fun doing it, and the fruits of my labor were worthwhile. I especially enjoyed seeing the hard work of others at the actual fair!" – Rajan K. Saini, seventh-grader
"There are no words to describe what you feel once you see the amazing product of months of hard work." – Thomas Gim, eighth-grader
"Science Fair may be difficult, it may take hours and it may involve tons of work, but the moment you see a ribbon hanging from your project, you know all your hard work was worth it." – Catherine Phan, eighth-grader
"Science Fair is so fun! You may think your experiment is going to turn out one way, but it goes in a different direction and sometimes creates a whole new level of surprise." – Meghna Sen, eighth-grader

Lets take the example of how meta works in XBOX 360 games.
The game is reviewed by lots of respected sources. Then a medium is taken of all the scores given by magazines and online sources. In noway is the popularity of a game considered. As you say this could be affected by price, taste or that the game or licence has a strong fan base. Maybe this is a bad example, but it's how I understand meta.

Comments about Magnif-Eyes Binoculars Craft Kit:
I wanted to use these for outdoor exploring with children but whoever designed these did not measure how far apart our eyes are. Even for an adult, the lenses are set so far apart that you can only see through one at a time. These should be redesigned. If they were measured correctly, they could be a useful product.

Animal testing alternatives
Computational toxicology microarray.
Among different ways that we have learned whether and how a chemical substance (or such physical properties as radiation or gravity) may cause short- or long-term harm to us, is to test the impact of the substances or properties in what scientists call model systems. Some of this testing may be conducted in glassware or other materials (for example glassware or petri dishes) either with living tissue such as cells in cultures, tissues obtained from experimental animals, specially-fabricated tools known as microarrays or with purely chemical systems. This is known as in vitro testing. Sometimes testing is conducted using living organisms, or laboratory animals, and is known as in vivo testing. Recently, a new approach to testing involves the evaluation of substances or physical properties using computer models. This is known as in silico testing. For example, physiologcally-based pharmacokinetic models or PBPK models are a computer-based or "in silico" method of predicting how a contaminant might behave in a living system. Though these models may initially rely on information collected from "in vitro" or "in vivo" studies, they may one day be used to predict effects of chemicals or mixtures of chemicals for which such studies have not been conducted (or not as many) thereby reducing our reliance on animal testing.
Each of these model systems has its limitations; but, in recent years the most problematic has been in vivo testing—the type of testing that is conducted utilizing humans as well as animals. The scientific community, regulators, the public and the private sector have each called for—in some way—the advancement of testing protocols away from the in vivo testing model. They have called for the development of alternatives to animal testing.
Among the ways for us to learn whether and how a substance or physical property will harm people—and domesticated and wild animals—involves often complicated study. For chemical substances, learning about potential harm requires determining how the living organism absorbs, uses, and releases the substance. For some of these chemical substances, animal testing may be necessary to expand our understanding of the substances effects—since, except in special, regulated circumstances human testing is not allowed. For example, animal testing has and continues to help in identifying and understanding such health effects as cancer or birth defects. Without laboratory animals, scientists would lose a basic method (model) for getting information needed to make wise decisions that protect public health. Animal subjects are used in the evaluation of chemical substances (that may be toxic or hazardous, or that may be disruptive of vertebrate endocrine systems), drugs, cosmetics, and foodstuffs.
Protecting Animal Subjects
Scientists, of course, have the responsibility—and are required by statute—to treat research animals with care and compassion. Scientists must comply with strict animal care guidelines because laws today protect the welfare of research animals. When animals are to be used as test subjects, researchers must comply with the Animal Welfare Act. Under the regulations written to implement the Act, scientists must consider what alternatives to animal testing they can use in their investigations prior to beginning a project.
On-going Efforts
Today, there are vigorous, ongoing national and international research and policy efforts to develop alternatives to animal testing. The efforts focus on both in vitro and in silico approaches and methods. For example, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) created the NTP Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods (NICEATM) in 1998. The role of NICEATM is to serve the needs of high quality, credible science by facilitating development and validation—and regulatory and public acceptance—of innovative, revised test methods that reduce, refine, and replace the use of animals in testing while strengthening protection of human health, animal health and welfare, and the environment. In Europe, similar efforts at developing alternatives to animal-based testing are taking place under the aegis of the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM).

Treatment Enhancements
This Center has conducted several projects that have evaluated the impact of various enhancements to standard addictions treatment. Some of these studies have also sought to determine whether focused matching of extra services to specific co-occurring problems (e.g., psychiatric, family/social, employment) at the level of the individual patient improves treatment outcome. Recent projects have included a study that compared the impact on outcomes of adding incentives for abstinence to providing additional counseling services to prevent relapse.

Capitol Style Philes
On my latest work trip to Washington, D.C. for oyster.com, I ran into this pair in front of the Fairfax Hotel. Her penchant for bright color and his cool aviators and hip velvet blazer are proof that Michelle isn't the only one bringing style to our nation's capital. They split their time between Washington and New York City (no wonder we love them!), but they don't hide their Advanced Style, even in the town of the suit and tie.
