The Vercetti Gang is a powerful criminal organization headed by Tommy Vercetti based in and around Vice City.
The Vercetti gang is headed by Tommy Vercetti, a renegade Forelli Family member who has assumed control of many businesses and property ventures during the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, circa 1986. The organization is known to be involved in various illegal enterprises, including extortion, drug dealing, counterfeit and pornography. They are very territorial, and hostile towards the other gangs in the city, even the Cubans, who are on friendly terms with Tommy Vercetti.
Though some might consider the Vercetti Gang a Mafia family, due to being led by a former mafia member, it cannot be a true mafia family because there are high ranking members, such as Lance Vance and Ken Rosenberg, who are not Italian, however they could be considered high ranking associates which are common in Mafia families, various high ranking members of the Five Families are not Italian. It does appear that Tommy structured it to resemble a mafia family and in San Andreas, The Truth mentions that Dwaine And Jethro had their business bought over by the mob.
Tommy Vercetti was originally dispatched by the Forelli Family to Vice City to oversee a drug deal funded by Forelli family money; the drug deal was supposed to be the beginning of the Forelli expansion down south towards Vice City. After the deal was ambushed by the Diaz Cartel, Vercetti was forced to start over with no money or property and aided only by Ken Rosenberg, a bent lawyer with Forelli connections. He eventually killed the perpetrator of the drug deal attack, Ricardo Diaz, aided by his new friend Lance Vance. Following the killing, he seized many properties and businesses assets in the city, with no assistance from the Forelli family forming the "Vercetti Family" in the process. The expansion of the Vercetti's throughout Vice City made Tommy a very rich, powerful, and influential man, infuriating Sonny Forelli who was demanding his cut of the profit. Tommy's refusal to give in led the Forelli Family to send collectors to Vice City to attempt to cut into the profits of Tommy's businesses by attempting to take over Tommy's businesses, which he bought. The Forellis' efforts were thwarted, and Sonny Forelli eventually confronts Tommy in person, which lead to a massacre, resulting in the death of many Forelli members, including a recently defected Lance Vance, and Sonny himself in the Vercetti Estate. Following Sonny's death, the Vercetti Family is assumed to have total domination of Vice City. The Vercetti Family, or at least Tommy Vercetti himself, is presumed to remain in power for an undisclosed time. In The Introduction, the prequel film to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Ken Rosenberg, who was also initiated into the Vercetti Family in 1986, is assumed to have been abandoned by Tommy after Ken is forced into rehabilitation for prolonged cocaine abuse. Following his release from the Fort Carson Medical Center, Vercetti no longer takes his calls and their relationship is dissolved. This led to Ken's subsequent assignment as a middleman for the Leone Family, the Forelli Family and the Sindacco Family over Caligula's Palace along The Strip, Las Venturas and then employment as an accountant to rapper Madd Dogg. The Truth makes a reference to them, saying that Dwaine and Jethro's businesses were bought by "the mob".

Argon Element
Argon is a chemical element designated by the symbol Ar. Argon has atomic number 18 and is the third element in group 18 of the periodic table (noble gases). Argon is present in the Earth's atmosphere at 0.94%. Argon's full outer shell makes it stable and resistant to bonding with other elements. Its triple point temperature of 83.8058 K is a defining fixed point in the International Temperature Scale of 1990.

Argon is colorless, odorless, tasteless and nontoxic in both its liquid and gaseous forms. Argon is inert under most conditions and forms no confirmed stable compounds at room temperature. Although argon is a noble gas, it has been found to have the capability of forming some compounds. For example, the creation of argon fluorohydride (HArF), a metastable compound of argon with fluorine and hydrogen, was reported by researchers at the University of Helsinki in 2000. Argon-containing ions and excited state complexes, such as ArH+ and ArF, respectively, are known to exist. Theoretical calculations have shown several argon compounds that should be stable but for which no synthesis routes are currently known.
Argon (Greek meaning "idle" or "lazy" in reference to its chemical inactivity) was suspected to be present in air by Henry Cavendish in 1785 but was not discovered until 1894 by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay in Scotland in an experiment in which they removed all of the oxygen and nitrogen from a sample of air. They had determined that nitrogen produced from chemical compounds was one-half percent lighter than nitrogen from the atmosphere. The difference seemed insignificant, but it was important enough to attract their attention for many months. They concluded that there was another gas in the air mixed in with the nitrogen. Argon was also encountered in 1882 through independent research of H.F. Newall and W.N. Hartley. Each observed new lines in the color spectrum of air but were unable to identify the element responsible for the lines. Argon became the first member of the noble gases to be discovered. The symbol for argon is now Ar, but up until 1957 it was A.
Argon constitutes 0.934% by volume and 1.29% by mass of the Earth's atmosphere, and air is the primary raw material used by industry to produce purified argon products. Argon is isolated from air by fractionation, most commonly by cryogenic fractional distillation.The Martian atmosphere in contrast contains approximately 2% argon by volume. In 2005, the Huygens probe also discovered the presence of argon-40 on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.
The main isotopes of argon found on Earth are 40Ar (99.6%), 36Ar (0.34%), and 38Ar (0.06%). Naturally occurring 40K with a half-life of 1.25×109 years, decays to stable 40Ar (11.2%) by electron capture and positron emission, and also to stable 40Ca (88.8%) via beta decay. These properties and ratios are used to determine the age of rocks. In the Earth's atmosphere, 39Ar is made by cosmic ray activity, primarily with 40Ar. In the subsurface environment, it is also produced through neutron capture by 39K or alpha emission by calcium. 37Ar is created from the decay of 40Ca as a result of subsurface nuclear explosions. It has a half-life of 35 days.
Argon's complete octet of electrons indicates full s and p subshells. This full outer energy level makes argon very stable and extremely resistant to bonding with other elements. Before 1962, argon and the other noble gases were considered to be chemically inert and unable to form compounds; however, compounds of the heavier noble gases have since been synthesized.
Argon is produced industrially by the partial distillation of liquid air, a process that separates liquid nitrogen, which boils at 77.4 K, from argon, which boils at 87.3 K and oxygen, which boils at 90.2 K.
There are several different reasons why argon is used in particular applications:
- An inert gas is needed. In particular, argon is the cheapest alternative when diatomic nitrogen is not sufficiently inert.
- Low thermal conductivity is required.
- The electronic properties (ionization and/or the emission spectrum) are necessary.
Other noble gases would probably work as well in most of these applications, but argon is by far the cheapest. Argon is inexpensive since it is a byproduct of the production of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen, both of which are used on a large industrial scale. The other noble gases (except helium) are produced this way as well, but argon is the most plentiful since it has the highest concentration in the atmosphere. The bulk of argon applications arise simply because it is inert and relatively cheap.
The numerous industrial uses of argon include:
- As a fill gas in incandescent lighting, because argon will not react with the filament of light bulbs even at high temperatures.
- As an inert gas shield in many forms of welding, including metal inert gas welding and tungsten inert gas welding. For metal inert gas welding argon is often mixed with CO2.
- Cylinders containing argon gas for use in extinguishing fire without damaging server equipment.
- As the gas of choice for the plasma used in ICP spectroscopy.
- As the gas of choice (in ionised form) for sputter coating of specimens for Scanning Electron Microscopy.
- As a protective atmosphere for growing silicon and germanium crystals, and in partial pressure heat treat furnaces.
- By museum conservators to protect old materials or documents, which are prone to gradual oxidation in the presence of air.
- To keep open bottles of wine from oxidizing, and in a number of dispensing units and keeper cap systems.
- To preserve leftover finishes like varnish, polyurethane, paint, and other chemicals during storage. Commercially available in an aerosol can for this purpose (US Patent 6629402).
- In winemaking to top off barrels, displacing oxygen and thus preventing the wine from turning to vinegar during the aging process.
- As an atmosphere in graphite electric furnaces, to keep graphite from oxidizing.
- An unusual application is as an asphyxiant in the poultry industry, either for mass culling following disease outbreaks, or as a means of slaughter more humane than the electric bath. Argon's relatively high density causes it to remain close to the ground during gassing. Its non-reactive nature makes it suitable in a food product, and since it replaces oxygen at a cellular level in the dead bird, argon also enhances shelf life.
- It is used for thermal insulation in energy efficient windows.
- Argon is also used in technical scuba diving to inflate a dry suit, because it is inert and has low thermal conductivity.
- Argon is also valuable for the specific way it ionizes and emits light. It is used in plasma globes and calorimetry in experimental particle physics. Blue argon lasers are used in surgery to weld arteries, destroy tumors, and to correct eye defects. In microelectronics, argon ions has applications for sputtering.
- Argon-39, with a half-life of 269 years, has been used for a number of applications, primarily ice core and ground water dating.
Medical uses of argon include:
- In the pharmaceutical industry to top off bottles of intravenous drug preparations (for example intravenous paracetamol), again displacing oxygen and therefore prolonging the drug's shelf-life.
- Cryosurgery procedures such as cryoablation use liquefied argon to destroy cancer cells. In surgery it is used in a procedure called "argon enhanced coagulation" which is a form of argon plasma beam electrosurgery. The procedure carries a risk of producing gas embolism in the patient and has resulted in the death of one person via this type of accident.
Potential hazards
Although argon is non-toxic, it does not satisfy the body's need for oxygen and is thus an asphyxiant. In confined spaces, it is known to result in death due to asphyxiation. Argon is 39% more dense than air and is considered highly dangerous in closed areas. It is also difficult to detect because it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

PR's surprise performance pop ups w/ their messages against Putin, the Russian government, and the church are what lands them (Nadia, Masha & Katia from PR) in jail. This is a documentary 'Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer' that originally aired on HBO last summer, and it's making it's rounds again, since all eyes are on Russia right now w/ the Winter Games. I got it through NetFlix and watched it over the weekend. Whether you're a fan or not of PR's music, this docu-film certainly puts things in perspective, and made me Happy I was born and raised in the U.S.A. I highly suggest watching it.

[Adobe Digital Publishing Suite] [Colin Fleming - Digital Publishing Evangelist] Now let's go a little bit deeper on the design phase. This is where I use InDesign to create the publication and to create the interactivity. I really enjoy this part because I get to work with InDesign a whole lot. What I'm going to be building is content that goes onto a tablet. One thing to keep in mind is that your readers may pick a tablet up; they might read it this way or they might read it this way. You need to consider how you're going to design your application and your content so that you can support the option of rotating what they're reading. What you need to consider is that if you build only vertical, they can only read vertical, and that's 1 InDesign file. If you want to support both orientations, that's going to be 2 InDesign files for what we call an article. So think about the files that you need to build and start mapping out a plan for it. When you build your InDesign files, you want to build them the proportions, the dimensions of the tablet device that you're targeting. That's a really good best practice. So for instance, for an iPad I build it 1024x768 pixels. That folio, that article, that dimension is going to look great on an iPad, and it will look okay on other devices. It may scale a little bit, or you may choose to build an additional set of files for other devices that are other dimensions or aspect ratios. So let's take a look at what I've built on the iPad so you have an idea of where I'm going with this. I'm taking a look at the iPad, and what I'm looking at is a folio. The folio is a set of articles, and as I move sideways through this, I see I have 3 articles. Some articles may be 1 page, some may be longer than 1 page. This is a multiple-page article which I then can scroll down through and read. Some of these pages have interactivity. For instance, on this particular page I can scrub this bicycle and make it spin. Another example of interactivity might be building a pinch and zoom experience. So if I click on this image, I've activated it and now I can use a zoom gesture on my tablet and move around inside of this particular piece of interactive content. I can zoom back out, tap it again, and that turns the interactivity off. So these are the types of interactivity that I'm going to show you how to build in InDesign. I've built a vertical version, but I also have a horizontal version. So if I rotate the iPad, here is the horizontal, and it reads in a very similar fashion but with very different layouts. So let's go to InDesign and build these pieces up. I'm taking a look at the vertical file in InDesign CS5.5, and I have already installed the Folio Builder and Overlay Creator panel. These are the panels I'm going to use for building the interactivity and to construct the folio. This InDesign file is multiple pages, and as I scroll down through the content here, you see each of those designed pages, and you can see I've already built the interactivity into the vertical orientation. We're going to go over to the horizontal so I can show you how to build this interactivity. I'm going to switch files. Here's the horizontal layout. It has a similar set of pages. As I scroll down, we can see each of these pages. I've got a nice space here ready for that bicycle that I want to rotate. So how do I build this interactivity? Super easy. I simply draw a frame. I'm picking up the Frame tool, I'm drawing a shape, a box, a container, which is going to hold this interactive element. What I've already constructed is interactive content and material. Let me show you that content. If I go into my Links folder, I've got a folder of images. These images are a sequence of the bicycle, and as I flip through the images, we can see each of these separate shots. When I take a look at the files, they're all JPEGs and they're numbered sequentially. I did a little preparation to build these files. Now you know what I'm working from. Back over in InDesign I drew the frame, and now I open up one of those new panels, the Overlay Creator. The Overlay Creator panel is aware of what you have selected, and it lets you know what you can build. Right now I have a frame selected. It's empty, and it tells me that this could be an image sequence, a panorama, or a web content frame. This is going to be an image sequence, so I click Image Sequence and now I browse for that folder of content. So I go point to the HUBBike_360--this is the folder that holds all those images-- I click Open, and automatically we show the first image as a placeholder. Now to build the interactivity, it's simply a matter of choosing your options. I could choose to have this auto play; I could have tap to play and pause. I really like swiping to change the image. This allows your user to use their finger and gesture on the device to interact with this series of images. So simply by choosing the options, I've now built this type of interactivity, and the next thing I want to do is preview it. At the bottom of the Overlay Creator panel is a button that says Preview. When I click this, the active file is moved to the Adobe Content Viewer on my machine, and I can preview the experience. Now I'm taking a look at the folio that I'm building, and I can move through this document. Here's the interactivity that I just built. If I click and drag with my mouse or on a trackpad, I now can interact with this particular piece of content. So that's how easy it was to build this type of interactivity. The other type of interactivity I'm going to build is the pinch zoom. I'm going to go down a couple of pages down to page 6, and I want to put this pinch zoom area here into the blank space. This one is also really easy. I simply choose File and Place, I then navigate to a JPEG or a PNG file, and I place the content. I'm going to build a frame to hold the content, and I'm going to scale the content. I'm going to make it larger. The maximum value for this scale is going to be about 100%. You can see right now that my scale factor is much less than 100%, so I'm going to get good interaction here. Basically, I've placed and cropped a picture. To add the interactivity, again I just shift on over to the Overlay Creator panel. I'm going to select the frame that holds that image, and I'm going to open up the Pan & Zoom option. By choosing Pan & Zoom, I've built the interactivity. That's all there is to it. If I come on down to Preview, now we generate a preview, and again I'm going to see all the pages in this particular layout ready to go and ready to test. Here in the Adobe Content Viewer I can move down through the pages. There's the bicycle I built a few moments ago, and now we get to the pan zoom. I'm going to click to activate it. I don't have a touchpad right now, but if I use the plus or minus keys I can zoom in or out. Once I've zoomed in a little bit, I can click and drag with my mouse and I can move around inside of this graphic and explore the experience a bit more. So that's how easy it is to use InDesign to combine text and graphics and then go a little step further to build this interactivity. Building the interactivity all occurs inside the Overlay Creator panel. And I'm working in 1 file of a pair for the horizontal and the vertical. The next step would be to start to construct a folio. This is the larger arrangement of articles that I flipped through on my tablet a moment ago. So how do I do this? I use that other new panel, the Folio Builder panel. If I don't have an Adobe ID, I can sign up for one here, but you already did that when you prepared for this. If I click Sign In, now I can sign in with my Adobe ID. Once I've signed in, I can see all of the folios that I've been working on. You can see I've been pretty active here. If I want to build a new folio, I simply come to the bottom of the panel and click New. I give it a name. This is sort of a structural name that refers to the publication that I'm building. It's not going to be visible inside of the viewer on a tablet though. This is going to be LOCAL fall. I set the dimensions of this particular piece. I'm building for the iPad, so it's going to be 1024x768. And I click OK. When I look at the Folio Builder panel, I've now changed what I see. Once you build a new folio, the Folio Builder panel moves down 1 level and shows articles. This is the basic element of a folio. Articles may have 1 or 2 layouts--horizontal and vertical-- and one way to add layouts to an article is simply have an InDesign file open and then click Add at the bottom of the Folio Builder panel. Now I specify the name for the article. I'm going to call this 2Wheels. And I click OK. I'm going to go ahead and save my file. The current saved version of this InDesign file is now pulled into this article as one of the layouts, and it moves the content up to the cloud. Once the process is done, I have 1 layout in my article. I've just finished adding 1 layout to this article. Let's go down into that article. I'm going to press the arrow on the right-hand side of that article, and I can see the landscape layout is here. I also want to add the vertical or portrait layout. I simply switch over to the other document and make it active, and at the bottom of the Folio Builder panel I click Add. Now this file is being uploaded, and it's being added as the other layout in the article. All right. I've now added the vertical layout to this article. We can see the landscape and portrait layouts here in the Folio Builder panel. I'm going to move from the 2Wheels article view back up to the LOCAL fall folio, and this is where I see that 1 article that I've built. Articles contain layouts, and articles also contain metadata. The metadata is going to include things like the name of the article and the author. So let's add that now. If I target the article and use the menu for the panel, I can now choose Properties and fill this information in. This is going to be called 2 Wheels Good, A tour in the city, and Frederick wrote it. So a little bit of metadata about the article is going to be visible in my viewer when the reader reads it. If I want to add another article, I could do it the manual way I just did or I can take advantage of importing. If I use the Menu command for the Folio Builder panel and choose Import, this is where I can choose to import single or multiple articles. What's important here is the way I name my InDesign files and the way I build a folder structure. The folder structure is an article folder inside of which are 1 or 2 InDesign files. That's the horizontal and the vertical. The file names are very important. They need to end in _h for the horizontal and _v for the vertical layout. So the combination of the folder with 2 InDesign files with really specific file endings allows you to import. So what I'm going to do is bring a cover in, and I'm now going to point to the resource. I'm now going to point to my cover. You see that there are 2 InDesign files in there with those names. I click OK, and those 2 files are now uploaded and added to the folio. So now you can see that second article has been added. We're going to add the metadata later over in the production system just to give you an idea of another place to edit the metadata. I'm going to move up a level now. I'm going to move to the view of all of my folios. You see LOCAL fall is at the top, and the folio also carries metadata. So if I go take a look at Properties, this is where I can give the publication a name. I'm going to call this one LOCAL. And this is where I can load cover images. These are important in the Library view inside of the viewer system. I click the Load icon and go find some PNG or JPEG files. I usually make these about 1000 pixels on the long side. That seems to work for me. And I'm going to load the vertical and horizontal cover images. You can see them come on in. When I'm all done, I'm going to go ahead and click OK. I've opened InDesign files, added some interactivity, then started to construct a folio. Now it has 2 articles. The next thing I probably want to do is preview the folio. In the Folio Builder panel, if I target the folio LOCAL fall and come to the bottom of my screen, I can now preview on my desktop, and we're going to see these 2 articles in a folio on my desktop. The last time I previewed, I was only looking at 1 file. But since I'm working with the folio, I'm going to get 2 articles, and I have 2 orientations. So we'll take a peek at that now. Here I am inside the Adobe Content Viewer on my machine, and if I click and drag down, I move down through that multiple-page publication, and I'm moving back up. If I drag to the right, we see the second article. This is a single-page article, so I don't scroll down through it. I'm looking at the horizontal layout right now, but if I want to see the vertical I press Command or Control R. I've now rotated the display. And when I click and drag to look at the other article, I see the other layout. I'm working on a slightly smaller screen today, which is why I don't see the bottom of each of these pages, but I can move through, see, and test what I've done on my desktop. I've built it. Now I'm testing it. There are probably 2 more things I want to do with this in the design phase. One of those things is I might want to share my work with somebody else to get their opinion. Sharing a folio is really, really easy. I do this in the Folio Builder panel. I select the folio and then I use the panel menu and I choose Share. Now I type in the email address of the person I want to share this with, and they get a piece of email and they can open up InDesign, log in with their Adobe ID, and they can see my folio. The other thing they can do is log on to a tablet device with the same ID and they'll see your folio on their device. The last type of test process I probably want to work on in the design phase is making sure that my piece looks good on a tablet device. Over in the Folio Builder panel I've created this folio, and part of the process included uploading content. When we upload the content, that means it's up in the cloud. So if I pick up my tablet device and go ahead and launch the free Adobe Viewer application, I'm now looking at the library of what I've built using the Folio Builder panel. What I see here matches what the Folio Builder panel in InDesign shows me. And I can see LOCAL is available and I've downloaded it. If I want to take a look at it, I simply click View. Here's that first page in the horizontal orientation. There's the second article. A little bit later we'll switch the position. And as I move down through the publication, there's the interactivity that I built, and we'll come on down to the pinch zoom and there we go. So there's your example of how easy it is to build this type of interactivity using the DPS process. It's a little bit of planning ahead and using InDesign to great effect and a couple of new panels. So give it a shot. It's a blast. Thanks for watching. [Adobe Digital Publishing Suite - tv.adobe.com]

I believe the temple is in the SW, yes? As for the ice area, I have to agree. It looks a bit more like fog than snow/ice, but it does give an interesting effect of like dry ice melting.
I really like your water and grassy terrain.
The buildings don't feel right for some reason though. The map has a photorealistic quality and the buildings seem to be in contrast to that. Maybe soften the edges? Not sure on that one.

Borg Queen
this wiki
- "I am the beginning ... the end ... the one who is many ... I am the Borg."
- - Borg Queen
The Borg Queen was the name given to the entity that existed within and served as a central nexus for the Borg Collective. The name was given to this entity by the Federation scientists Magnus and Erin Hansen, who discovered its existence. (VOY: "Dark Frontier")
It is unknown when a Borg Queen first appeared within the Collective, but it is known that she was assimilated around the age of 7-8 (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero, Part II") and was already present in 2354.
A Borg Queen defined herself as, "I am the beginning... the end. The one who is many. I am the Borg." Although this might suggest she would be an individual within the Collective (while addressing them, she referred to drones as "my drones"), she was not. The purpose of a Borg Queen was to bring order to chaos.
Her appearance was that of a humanoid female of Species 125. In accordance with the Borg pursuit of perfection, a blending of the organic and synthetic, very little of her original humanoid form remained. Her face and upper torso were organic while the rest of her body, including her skull and spinal cord, were synthetic. Because of her disembodiment she saw herself as the epitome of perfection. The Queen had her own chambers within the Borg Unicomplex from which she could oversee and control the Borg via command interface. Whether she had her own ship or not was unknown, but she used different Borg vessels to travel, such as a Borg cube, sphere, or diamond. When her physical presence was not necessary her organic part resided above this chamber while her synthetic parts were stored below it, under the floor. If she desired to do so both could be brought together and in doing so create a humanoid form for herself.
In Human terms, a Borg Queen could be characterized as ruthless. She would do anything to protect the Borg Collective. Where drones showed no emotions, the Queen herself did. When necessary she would employ psychological tactics, like extortion or plain intimidation to get what she wanted. The Queen even displayed self-preservation when she was held at gunpoint by Captain Janeway, who threatened to kill her. On a personal level she considered Seven of Nine her favorite drone, because the Queen considered her to be unique. This had to do with Seven's experiences as an individual when she served aboard USS Voyager. The Queen's goal was to re-assimilate Seven into the Collective to enhance the Borg's, and so her own, perfection. She launched her vessel and followed the Delta Flyer into a transwarp conduit. The attempt failed, but she survived. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero", "Dark Frontier")
The death of a Borg Queen did not seem to affect the Collective or its hive mind. When a Borg drone died, its memories would still be within the hive mind. There was no evidence that a Borg Queen would be more than a drone. Borg drones were capable of functioning without a queen for any length of time by forming a hive mind of their own. (VOY: "Unity")
It was thought by Federation exobiologist Erin Hansen that the Borg Queen functioned like the queen of an insect hive, to coordinate the drones. Evidence of this was later seen when the Queen countermanded the Collective's judgment about assimilating Voyager. While the Collective felt that assimilation was warranted, the Borg Queen countermanded them justifying the decision due to the fact that Voyager didn't compromise their security. (VOY: "Endgame") The Queen, while providing coordination for the drones she commands, also provides other functions such as regulation of the Borg's transwarp hubs and interspatial manifolds. She effectively brought "order to chaos" for all things. (VOY: "Endgame")
The Borg Queen that was present in 2377 was assimilated when she was a child, together with her parents. Years later she could still hear them. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero, Part II")
First encounter
The existence of a Borg Queen was first established sometime prior to 2365 by the exobiologists Erin and Magnus Hansen. However, because the Hansens were assimilated, their discovery never reached the Federation. (VOY: "The Raven") It was not until 2373 that the Federation became aware of her when the Federation starship USS Enterprise-E prevented the assimilation of Earth. This was the second attempt by the Borg, also known as the Battle of Sector 001. They traveled back to Earth's past to prevent First Contact, and by doing so hoped to be able to assimilate Earth.
During this conflict, while Captain Jean-Luc Picard was trying to destroy the Borg, she claimed to have been present during the Battle of Wolf 359, and even admitted that Locutus of Borg – the assimilated Picard – was intended to be a singular intelligence; her counterpart, intended to ease the burden of loneliness. However, when Picard continued to resist, even when he could not control Locutus' body, she was regretfully forced to turn him into the form in which Starfleet encountered him, a glorified drone. Whether or not she physically took part in the Battle of Wolf 359 is unknown.
That Borg Queen was killed by Picard after she tried to persuade Lieutenant Commander Data to give her the encryption code by which he had locked the Enterprise's computer. Warp core plasma coolant released by Data destroyed her organic parts, after which Picard broke her cybernetic spinal cord, ensuring she could no longer function. (Star Trek: First Contact)
Subsequent encounters
The second encounter with a Borg Queen was in 2375 in the Delta Quadrant. Here the lost Federation starship USS Voyager tried to rescue the former Borg drone Seven of Nine, who was then part of Voyager's crew, when the plan to steal a transwarp coil from a Borg sphere did not work out as planned. The Queen also revealed that the drone Seven of Nine was not really freed by Voyager from the Collective, but allowed to leave by the Borg. During this encounter the Borg Queen hoped to assimilate Seven of Nine again, who experienced life as an individual for two years, and so add to her own perfection. However, Seven rejected the Queen and fled with a rescue mission sent by the Voyager in the Delta Flyer. A Borg vessel was sent by the Queen to intercept the shuttle, but it was destroyed in the attempt. (VOY: "Dark Frontier")
The Borg Queen was one of several real people adapted into a character in Kelis' play, based on descriptions from B'Elanna Torres. (VOY: "Muse")
In 2377, a Borg Queen was again encountered by Voyager. This time the Queen wanted to destroy Unimatrix Zero, a virtual world populated by regenerating Borg with a genetic mutation. This world was discovered by Seven of Nine and posed a threat to the Borg. During Voyager's efforts to rescue this virtual world the Borg Queen demonstrated her powers by destroying a Borg sphere because she could no longer 'hear' only one drone. When a nanovirus was released to prevent the detection of Unimatrix Zero, the Queen destroyed several Borg vessels, killing 75,000 Borg drones in the process, in the hope of persuading the captured Captain Janeway to give her the antidote. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero", "Unimatrix Zero, Part II")
The last encounter between a Federation starship and a Borg Queen was in 2378, and again Voyager played a part in it. Voyager accidentally discovered a Borg transwarp hub within a nebula and were helped by Admiral Kathryn Janeway, who came from an alternate timeline, around twenty-three years in the future, to use the Borg transwarp network to get back to the Alpha Quadrant. Because the Borg guarded their transwarp hub closely, Admiral Janeway devised a plan by which she would infect the Borg Queen with a neurolytic pathogen and in doing so making her lose control over the force fields which protected the interspatial manifolds. When the admiral was captured by the Borg, near the unicomplex, she was assimilated by the Borg Queen herself. Soon after the Queen began to lose control over drones. The pathogen even made her lose control over her own synthetic parts, as her body literally fell apart. Her death caused the destruction of the unicomplex and despite her efforts Voyager reached Earth safely. The Borg sphere sent after them by the Queen was destroyed by Voyager's transphasic torpedoes, given to them by the admiral from the future. (VOY: "Endgame")
- The Borg Queen was played by Alice Krige in Star Trek: First Contact and VOY: "Endgame". The character was played by Susanna Thompson in the Voyager episodes "Dark Frontier", "Unimatrix Zero", and "Unimatrix Zero, Part II".
- In an early design meeting for the Borg Queen the movie Captain Eo was mentioned, regarding Anjelica Huston's performance as a villainous woman who lived in the ceiling and would descend on cables. [1]
- The appearance of the Borg Queen in First Contact was a controversial one in the Trek universe. Though the Borg provided for a threatening and intriguing alien enemy, their lack of a single villain presented a challenge for the writers. To counter this, and to expand some on the original notion of the Borg as an insect-hive type of race, they created the Queen as a focal point for their story.
- Consequently, many different theories have developed over the role of the Queen and the extent to which she may represent a hierarchical structure in the previously supposed-to-be Collective nature of the Borg. The exact nature of the Queen is still hotly debated and has many possible explanations. When Data asked her about this in First Contact, she openly denied simply controlling the Collective, and said that she was the Collective, claiming to "bring order to chaos" when Data tried to get a clearer explanation. He considered her response "interesting, if cryptic."
- Later in First Contact, when asked by Picard how she had survived when the cube sent to Earth in 2367 was destroyed, the Queen only replied that Picard had become small, thinking in three-dimensional terms. Exactly what was meant by this is also a subject of speculation.
- This was further complicated by the re-appearance of a Queen during the run of Voyager, and her subsequent "deaths" and reappearances during the show's run, but was not directly addressed.
- In 2002, the Borg Queen was placed second in TV Zone's list of the top twenty science fiction television villains. Dukat was fourth, Weyoun was eighth, Q was eleventh, and Seska was nineteenth.
- In an early version of the script of Star Trek: First Contact (a script very different from the movie), Geordi La Forge tells Data that he is sending the Borg Queen's remains to the Daystrom Institute for study. [2]
- When asked whether the Queen was a "virtual entity; the personification of the collective", Ronald D. Moore said, "This was not the intention. We saw her as a literal person." (AOL chat, 1997)
- According to Judith Reeves-Stevens and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, they pitched a story for an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise where Alice Krige would play a Starfleet medical technician who made contact with the Borg from "Regeneration". The encounter would have seen the birth of the Borg Queen. [3]
- An undersuit worn by Krige in First Contact was sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [4]
According to the Pocket VOY novel The Farther Shore published after the television series concluded, a Borg Queen can be replaced in mere seconds by using the Royal Protocol. Seven of Nine was specifically mentioned in the Royal Protocol and was most likely to become the next Queen.
The Pocket TNG novel Resistance showed the creation of another Queen, who was destroyed by the crew of the Enterprise-E. Subsequently, in the Pocket TNG novel Before Dishonor Admiral Janeway is assimilated by the Borg and becomes a Queen who is eventually defeated by Seven of Nine.
In the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy, a newly installed Queen oversees a massive Borg invasion of the Alpha Quadrant. It is later revealed that the Borg Queen is merely an avatar for the true power behind the Collective. The Destiny trilogy also mentions that multiple Queens have been known to exist simultaneously in the Collective, but they all possess the same agenda.
One theory regarding the creation of a Queen is that "queens" are members of a specific race, one that was chosen because its females exhibit superior higher-order brain processing-speed, and are therefore assimilated and bred for that purpose. (Star Trek: Elite Force II; Star Trek: Legacy)
The extra section of the game Star Trek: Legacy contains the "Origin of the Borg", which tells the story of V'ger being sucked into a black hole. V'ger was found by a race of living machines which gave it a form suitable to fulfilling its simplistic programming. Unable to determine who its creator could be, the probe declared all carbon-based life an infestation of the creator's universe, leading to assimilation. From this, the Borg were created, as extensions of V'ger's purpose. Drones were made from those assimilated and merged into a collective consciousness. The Borg Queen was created out of the necessity for a single unifying voice. However, with thoughts and desires of her own, she was no longer bound to serve V'ger. This explanation, however, is not canon.
In Star Trek Online, a new Borg Queen has emerged in 2409 and leads the Collective in an invasion of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, her main targets being the Federation and the Klingon Empire.
According to "Shinsei Shinsei", the Borg Queen's name is Danzek.

SANTA ANA – A Chicago architect apologized Thursday after he was sentenced to 31 years to life in prison for raping and attempting to murder his ex-girlfriend in her Ladera Ranch neighborhood.
Mark Alan Jarosik, 46, testified in October that he punched the woman in the face, pushed her in the gutter and bashed her head into the curb in "a rash impulse," but never wanted to kill her.
The woman survived the attack but was left with physical impairments, including memory loss, prosecutors said.
"I just like to express how sorry I am for all the pain I caused (her), emotional and psychological," the defendant told Superior Court Judge Francisco Briseño on Thursday.
An Orange County jury deliberated about half a day before finding Jarosik guilty of multiple charges, including rape, attempted sodomy, attempted murder and soliciting an Orange County jail inmate to murder the woman.
Jarosik "brutally banged her head" over and over into the curb until he was subdued by the victim's neighbors, Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Walker told jurors.
He was out on bail on charges of rape and attempted sodomy and in violation of a restraining order when he attacked the victim in 2009.
"I am just happy for the victim to have closure to this case," Walker said after the sentencing. "It has been a long road to get here."
Jarosik left his thriving business, three children and his wife in Chicago after he and the woman began a relationship in Las Vegas.
When the relationship ended, Jarosik chased after the victim in hopes of resurrecting their love, defense attorney Michael Molfetta told jurors during trial.
"He saw (her). He snapped," Molfetta said.
Briseño addressed Jarosik on Thursday, saying "you don't belong in front of this court, but the nature of the offenses for which you were convicted are egregious."

Lindi Urban Member of Parliament Salum Baruany has finally reached his destination after a considerable long trek. Seven times within only a decade, imagine the short period, he was a political detainee. He remembers every detail of the eerie scenario, although he is quick to forgive the perpetrators of his political career.
Through the ticket of Civic United front (CUF), the new legislator of Lindi Urban constituency had defeated veteran and prominent politician Moghammed Abdulaziz, thrashing the myth that albinos cannot be entrusted with sensitive important leadership responsibilities, as he talks with the News Editor of The Guardian on Sunday, Rodgers Luhwago, on how he managed to snail his way to the top, battling against these misconceptions. Excerpts:
Question: Briefly tell the readers about yourself
Answer: I'm a peasant's son, one of five children of our family. I was born on June 30, 1959 at Mingoyo village located about 20 kilometres from Lindi and I attended Mingoyo Primary School from 1968 to 1974. I did my "O" Level at Mkonge Secondary School from 1976 to 1979. My family is poor, and for that reason I was unable to pursue further education. My father's coconut farm provided for our basic necessities. Due to the low level of education I ended up engaging in petty business.
Q: How did your family members and neighbours feel about you, when you were growing up?
A: Generally, people with albinism were regarded as a burden. However, in our village, and my family in particular, it was different. The last born and the only child with albinism, I was treated very fairly. My parents were devout Moslems.
Q: When did you join politics?
A: I joined politics in 1992 after the country (Tanzania) adopted multiparty democracy. Before that, it was not easy to engage in politics, which was regarded a preserve of a clique of people. I joined NCCR- Mageuzi in 1993, and became Lindi Urban district party chairman.
But after the first multiparty general elections in 1995, a leadership crisis emerged in NCCR-Mageuzi, a factor that prompted the then national chairman Augustine Mrema to cross over to Tanzania Labour Party (TLP) along with other members, including myself. TLP also appointed me Lindi Urban district party chairman. In 1999 I crossed to Civic United Front (CUF). Once again, I elected CUF Lindi Urban District chairman.
I was arrested and detained for a month at Lindi regional prison following the bloody 2001 demonstration, which ensued after the 2000 Zanzibar election results that CUF disputed.
Q: Did you take part in the demonstrations?
A: No. I did not participate in the demonstrations that the government termed as illegal.
Although it occurred in Zanzibar, authorities felt it was a CUF matter. That's why I was arrested. I want to tell you that to date I have been detained seven times for political reasons.
However, I consider myself lucky to have been elected to the party's Central Committee (CC).
I held the two party positions (chairman and CC member). I joined the race for MP's position in Lindi Urban on CUF ticket in 2005. My challenger was CCM's Mohammed Abdulaziz.
Q: How were the campaigns in 2005?
A: To be frank my opponent waged dirty campaigns against me. Instead of selling the manifesto of his party my opponent used a lot of energy uttering negative remarks about people with albinism. But the good thing was that Lindi Urban voters knew me well. On an occasion, one of them confided to me that my opponent was "warning" against electing a candidate with albinism, claiming that albinos have short lives and that they were incapable of wearing suits.
Q: How were the campaigns in this year's general elections?
A: Actually, there was no difference with 2005 because the same candidate I fought against in 2005 is the same person I met this year. He used the same dirty tricks against me but thanks God people were with me. My opponent, as usual, asked voters in the constituency not to vote for me just because of my state. He went further saying Lindi Urban voters would have made a very serious mistake had they elected an albino an MP. My opponent could not realise that Lindi Urban people had already discovered that I was a potential material for them.
Q: Lindi is one of the regions lagging behind in development. What do you think are the major challenges that are to be given priority in your leadership as MP for Lindi Urban?
A: First, you should understand that before independence Lindi was prospering because it was the headquarters of the Southern Province. There were 16 sisal estates, port and railway infrastructure. Due to all this, businessmen liked the region. But after independence and the Arusha Declaration all this vanished.
Now, the major task ahead is to restore Lindi's lost glory. People should understand that low level of education to most Lindi regional residents is a factor hampering them to accessing jobs as a result our boys end up being hawkers. Now, it's time to deal with this problem fiercely. We must build a generation that will be able to penetrate and compete in the labour market squarely with children from other regions.
Education is everything. I understand that we have ocean, good arable land and gas. The only thing required, is to see how we can judiciously exploit them for the betterment of our people's lives. Scarcity of clean and safe drinking water is of course another challenge. People in Lindi urban depend on water from shallow wells, a factor that also fuels the spread of waterborne diseases.
Q: Having been trusted by Lindi Urban residents to the extent of being elected MP what is your message to fellow people with albinism and the entire Tanzanian society?
A: First, I would like to tell my fellow people with albinism that we must realise our potentialities because we are born equal.
An individual with albinism has a lot of challenges that he/she must overcome and the society must help them to overcome those challenges instead of being a stumbling block to their success. Baruany is also a Lindi regional secretary of an organisation of people with albinism.

How the brain hard-wires us to love Google, Twitter, and texting. And why that's dangerous.
Seeking. You can't stop doing it. Sometimes it feels as if the basic drives for food, sex, and sleep have been overridden by a new need for endless nuggets of electronic information. We are so insatiably curious that we gather data even if it gets us in trouble. Google searches are becoming a cause of mistrials as jurors, after hearing testimony, ignore judges' instructions and go look up facts for themselves. We search for information we don't even care about. Nina Shen Rastogi confessed in Double X, "My boyfriend has threatened to break up with me if I keep whipping out my iPhone to look up random facts about celebrities when we're out to dinner." We reach the point that we wonder about our sanity. Virginia Heffernan in the New York Times said she became so obsessed with Twitter posts about the Henry Louis Gates Jr. arrest that she spent days "refreshing my search like a drugged monkey."
We actually resemble nothing so much as those legendary lab rats that endlessly pressed a lever to give themselves a little electrical jolt to the brain. While we tap, tap away at our search engines, it appears we are stimulating the same system in our brains that scientists accidentally discovered more than 50 years ago when probing rat skulls.
In 1954, psychologist James Olds and his team were working in a laboratory at McGill University, studying how rats learned. They would stick an electrode in a rat's brain and, whenever the rat went to a particular corner of its cage, would give it a small shock and note the reaction. One day they unknowingly inserted the probe in the wrong place, and when Olds tested the rat, it kept returning over and over to the corner where it received the shock. He eventually discovered that if the probe was put in the brain's lateral hypothalamus and the rats were allowed to press a lever and stimulate their own electrodes, they would press until they collapsed.
Olds, and everyone else, assumed he'd found the brain's pleasure center (some scientists still think so). Later experiments done on humans confirmed that people will neglect almost everything—their personal hygiene, their family commitments—in order to keep getting that buzz.
But to Washington State University neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp, this supposed pleasure center didn't look very much like it was producing pleasure. Those self-stimulating rats, and later those humans, did not exhibit the euphoric satisfaction of creatures eating Double Stuf Oreos or repeatedly having orgasms. The animals, he writes in Affective Neuroscience: The Foundations of Human and Animal Emotions, were "excessively excited, even crazed." The rats were in a constant state of sniffing and foraging. Some of the human subjects described feeling sexually aroused but didn't experience climax. Mammals stimulating the lateral hypothalamus seem to be caught in a loop, Panksepp writes, "where each stimulation evoked a reinvigorated search strategy" (and Panksepp wasn't referring to Bing).
It is an emotional state Panksepp tried many names for: curiosity, interest, foraging, anticipation, craving, expectancy. He finally settled on seeking. Panksepp has spent decades mapping the emotional systems of the brain he believes are shared by all mammals, and he says, "Seeking is the granddaddy of the systems." It is the mammalian motivational engine that each day gets us out of the bed, or den, or hole to venture forth into the world. It's why, as animal scientist Temple Grandin writes in Animals Make Us Human,experiments showthat animals in captivity would prefer to have to search for their food than to have it delivered to them.
For humans, this desire to search is not just about fulfilling our physical needs. Panksepp says that humans can get just as excited about abstract rewards as tangible ones. He says that when we get thrilled about the world of ideas, about making intellectual connections, about divining meaning, it is the seeking circuits that are firing.
The juice that fuels the seeking system is the neurotransmitter dopamine. The dopamine circuits "promote states of eagerness and directed purpose," Panksepp writes. It's a state humans love to be in. So good does it feel that we seek out activities, or substances, that keep this system aroused—cocaine and amphetamines, drugs of stimulation, are particularly effective at stirring it.
Ever find yourself sitting down at the computer just for a second to find out what other movie you saw that actress in, only to look up and realize the search has led to an hour of Googling? Thank dopamine. Our internal sense of time is believed to be controlled by the dopamine system. People with hyperactivity disorder have a shortage of dopamine in their brains, which a recent study suggests may be at the root of the problem. For them even small stretches of time seem to drag. An article by Nicholas Carr in the Atlantic last year, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" speculates that our constant Internet scrolling is remodeling our brains to make it nearly impossible for us to give sustained attention to a long piece of writing. Like the lab rats, we keep hitting "enter" to get our next fix.

Maine Senator Olympia Snowe dropped a bombshell late Tuesday afternoon that has blown the race for her U.S. Senate seat wide open. Snowe announced that she will not seek a fourth term. And as Susan Sharon reports the repercussions of this decision are only just beginning to be felt across Maine's political landscape.
In a written statement released through her campaign office just before 5:00 PM Senator Snowe said she had made the difficult decision to pull the plug on her Senate campaign. She said the surprise announcement was not affected by her health or for personal reasons but rather by the frustrating atmosphere of polarization in Washington and what she calls the "my way or the highway ideologies" that pervade government and politics.
"It was a shock to me, obviously, and it will be to everyone else in Maine," said Maine GOP chairman Charlie Webster. He said he's heard Snowe express her frustration with Washington gridlock several times in recent months.
"And I think she just got tired of it and said: let somebody else try," he said.
Webster said the state of Maine has lost an incredible voice in Washington D.C. and he said his party will look for a candidate who embraces her legacy. Snowe's exit from a seat she had been expected to win blows the door open on Maine's Senate race said Ben Grant, chairman of the Maine Democratic Party. There are currently four Democrats competing in the primary: Jon Hinck, Matt Dunlap, Cynthia Dill and Benjamin Pollard. But others are also giving it some thought. Both First District Congresswoman Chellie Pingree and Second District Congressman Mike Michaud issued written statements saying they were considering their options. And Grant said Maine Democrats are in the position to fare well.
"You know we've got some strong candidates already in the race," Grant said. "I know that there will be some other people in Maine who give it some serious consideration. But no matter who emerges we're gonna have a top tier candidate. This is going to be a top tier race when you look at the whole map across the country."
Democrats and Republicans who intend to run for the U.S. Senate have until March 15 to gather 2,000 signatures to get their names on the ballot. And with the GOP and Democratic caucuses in the rearview mirror, wannabe candidates without a strong organization in place may have a tough time. Already the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, the PCCC has launched an online effort to draft Congresswoman Pingree to run. The PCCC is the same group that boosted Elizabeth Warren's campaign for Senate in Massachusetts and helped her raise more than $600,000 last year. Chris Potholm, a professor of government at Bowdoin, said he thinks Pingree has the edge now that Snowe is out.
"I think all of those very conservative Republicans that wanted to get rid of her [Snowe] have probably, in the fullness of time, elected Chellie Pingree," Potholm said. "I think Chellie is the only one who can jump into the race now in that two-week window. And I wonder how they're going to like it next November when whatever they've done or not done will result in Chellie Pingree. I think Chellie Pingree's got a great chance to win the primary and the general election."
Currently there is only one Republican running for Snowe's seat: small businessman Scott D'Amboise. Potholm said Republicans such as Senate President Kevin Raye, who is currently in the race for Maine's second congressional district and former House Republican leader Josh Tardy might give it some thought and so could a list of several other current and former GOP candidates. As for independents, they have until June to gather their signatures. Andrew Ian Dodge is already working toward that end. He recently announced he was leaving the GOP and will instead compete as an independent in the race. Another independent who said he is giving a run some consideration is former gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler who's been working on finding common ground in politics with an organization called OneMaine.
"I haven't ruled anything out," Cutler said. "I'm still digesting this. I must say that I'm flattered by the attention and by the support but I also, as I said, agree with Olympia that there are unique opportunities to do this outside the United States Senate and I feel very strongly that we need to rebuild the political center in every state in America."
In her statement Senator Snowe said she sees the vital need for the political center in order for democracy to flourish and to find solutions that unite rather than divid. Snowe said she thinks there are unique opportunities to build that support from outside the U.S. Senate. Her fellow Republican Senate colleague Susan Collins also issued a statement saying she was "absolutely devastated" to learn that Snow would not seek re-election. Senator Snowe has a "well-deserved reputation as an informed, thoughtful and effective legislator," Collins wrote. "I will miss her knowledge and support but most of all I will miss her friendship." Senator Snowe has served in the U.S. Senate since 1994 and before that she served 16 years in the U.S. House of Representatives. She is the first woman in history to serve in both houses of state legislature and both houses of Congress. She has scheduled a news conference Friday in Portland to discuss the reasons for her decision.

Prices that grocery stores pay for beef dropped about 18 percent from December to early January, although those prices rebounded somewhat late last week.
Festival Foods meat manager Eldon Troller in Green Bay says there are better deals on beef for consumers. He says t-bones, ribeyes, New York strips and all premium steaks have dropped off more than $2.00 a pound.
Suamico organic farmer Donna Foster says concerns about mad cow are helping her sales. Foster says consumers are assured cows are fed no animal byproducts.

Rockstar Games divide the Grand Theft Auto series into three distinct universes. These universes are completely separate to each other, no characters or storylines can ever pass from one Universe to the next.
|2D Universe
|3D Universe
|HD Universe
|GTA 1 Era
|GTA 2 Era
|GTA III Era
|GTA IV Era
|GTA V Era
GTA Advance is a 2D game, but is part of the GTA III Era and thus the 3D Universe.
A universe can be considered a completely separate 'canon' of places, people and events that exist in the same universe. Locations that appear in multiple universes are completely rebuilt, rather than just updated. A previous universe would be like a mythical universe that never really existed. However, some things do exist appear in multiple universes, including company brands, vehicles, placenames, weapons and in-series celebrities (e.g Lazlow).
Games being in the same universe means that they exist on the same planet, and theoretically characters could occur in multiple games across that universe. However, that does not mean that many characters will do so, nor that the games are similar or closely related at all.
Comparison to Eras
Universes are closely linked to Eras, which are logical groupings of the games based entirely on their number (i.e. GTA III starting the GTA III Era). It is possible for universes to contain more than one era. The 2D Universe contains the GTA 1 Era and GTA 2 (which is its own separate era). The HD Universe contains the GTA IV Era and GTA V (which is starting its own era).
The difference is that games within an era are very closely related, often with many characters and storylines appearing in multiple games. Also, the visual style and most features are replicated within an era.
In contrast, games within the same universe (but in separate eras) might be completely different and almost totally unrelated in terms of graphical style and mechanics. The futuristic GTA 2 is different from the 1960s GTA London games.
An era can be thought of as a group of closely-related stories (like a trilogy), told through several games within one universe. Different eras may be set in the same universe, even with a bit of crossover, but they are completely separate stories with different styles and a different feel.
As GTA V and GTA IV are in the same HD universe, that gives Rockstar the ability to continue some characters or even storylines into the new game, but Dan Houser has said this would only happen sparingly. GTA V is a completely separate game, with different features and a very different feel - it is not "GTA IV: Los Santos", and is therefore not part of the GTA IV Era.
- "Dan says that no one before GTA IV will be in it – the move to HD created a schism in this fictional universe, rendering CJ, Tony and co, as mythical characters from a bygone era. But will we see stories from the previous game looping into this one? "I think that might be too mannered," says Houser. "Nico had a particular kind of story and we're trying to make this different. We might allude to things from that world, but we didn't want it to feel like, well, here's the opposite of an immigration story – we wanted a fresh take on what it means to be a criminal in this world of hyper-real Americana"."
- ―Interview with Dan Houser in The Guardian
- The band Love Fist, Kent Paul, radio hosts Lazlow Jones, Fernando Martinez, James Pedeaston, Marvin Trill, actor Jack Howitzer and Founder of the Epsilon Program Cris Formage appear in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, indicating the characters exists only in the 3D Universe. However, the characters have some appearances in the HD universe. Like for example. a Love Fist shirt can be seen in Grand Theft Auto V. These may be the only characters to cross over between Universes.

Chargers running back breaks clavicle early in exhibition against Green Bay
A 5-yard Ryan Mathews run will carry into the regular season.
The Chargers running back suffered a broken clavicle on the third offensive play of Thursday night's 21-13 preseason win against the Packers. He is expected to miss four to six weeks and will have surgery today, coach Norv Turner said.
The exhibition had its highs, including rookie outside linebacker Melvin Ingram's impressive debut, but the start was the clear low.
Mathews' injury could linger a couple weeks into the season, a test for a roster that had its depth bolstered in the offseason.
Turner called it "part of the game."
"That's why Ronnie Brown's here," Turner said. "I think you're going to go through situations where you don't have everybody. That's what I've been talking about since April after the draft and after we signed these players, we've protected ourselves in those situations.
"If someone goes down, we have answers. We have guys who can step in and go."
Mathews is entering his third year in the NFL.
He's had his strongest offseason, earning praise from coaches and teammates for his work ethic and strides in his game, both physical and mental.
Some players learned of the injury's severity with the locker room thinning.
"It's very unfortunate," cornerback Antoine Cason said. "It sucks. This is the first time I'm hearing about it. All I can say is it's unfortunate for a guy with so much potential. He's been working his butt off. That's all he can ask of himself, to hold himself accountable for us and for himself."
Mathews, a first-round pick in 2010, had 222 carries, 1,091 yards and six touchdowns in 14 games last year. He also caught 50 passes for 455 more yards.
"It's just unfortunate," quarterback Philip Rivers said. "His first carry of the season. He'll stay strong. We'll keep him strong and upbeat because I know how excited he was about the season. He was openly commenting about how excited he was and how hard he's trained. He'll still bounce back and have a great year.
"As soon as he's healthy and ready, he'll get back out there."
Thursday was Ingram's NFL debut.
His arms stretch out to 31½ inches.
That was too short to impress NFL draft experts in April but long enough to beat an offensive tackle, force an MVP quarterback into an interception, and prompt double teams at Qualcomm Stadium.
Like rookie minicamp, like OTAs, like minicamp, like training camp, the No. 18 pick was sharp, starting in place of outside linebacker Jarret Johnson (hamstring) and playing into the first half.
Ingram's forced interception of Aaron Rodgers — Cason caught the wobbler — was one of five turnovers in the first half.
On fourth-and-2 late in the first quarter, Ingram broke past Packers tackle Herb Taylor's outside shoulder, burst toward Rodgers and, with outstretched arms, decked Rodgers to disrupt his throwing motion.
"He brings a physical presence," Turner said of Ingram. "He's brought it from the first day he got here. He showed up at a high level when we put pads on. He's learning, so I think he's more comfortable with what we're doing. He's going to even be more physical and more explosive."
Said safety Eric Weddle: "He's as advertised."
Rivers had 14 snaps.
The final two ended in turnovers.
In the red zone, Rivers forced a short pass to a tightly covered Robert Meachem. Packers cornerback Tramon Williams had position and made the interception, returning it 13 yards.
"He's a good DB that likes to guess and get a little nosy," Rivers said. "He hunkered down there and just drove on the ball. Obviously, I gotta see that and not throw it. Better now than later."

SUMA JKT the army's economic wing managing the Kilimo Kwanza tractor supply project took what one may call bold and probably painful measures to the benefit of the smallholder farmers and the nation.
It changed the modality of distributing imported tractors by adopting a two-prong approach.
On the one hand it reduced the price of a tractor by 25 percent. The price which was between 25m/- and 45m/- now stands at 16m/- after the review.
In so doing, the business that was almost at standstill has witnessed a quick sale of 300 units. This is a cue that anybody knowing the nature of Tanzania's agricultural input market where most of the operators are small scale farmers should have taken.
The other approach is the ambitious countrywide programme the army wing plans to take, of constructing mechanisation centres in all the country's regions.
Under the programme, SUMA JKT would put in place agricultural mechanisation workshops in those centres and farmers would be able to hire equipment for farming and have the same managed or maintained by the centre's administration.
The two modalities are aimed at enabling farmers to hire the equipment and carry out agricultural activities at affordable rates and thus boost their incomes.
Under the same programme, they would eventually be able to use their earned incomes to purchase own equipment, according to the project manager Col Felix Samillan.
There is no doubt that this two-pronged approach rests on a much higher logic compared to the pure commercial one adopted previously of assembling tractors in one town centre and waiting for the farmers to come and buy.
It is on this score that we commend SUMA JKT management for this swift shift in business logic, though necessitated by the realities of the Tanzanian market. If implemented well it is set to benefit many of the country's tillers.
Because of their small incomes and hardly any loan facilities, the right way to empower the smallholder farmers is to open up centres where they can secure the equipment and other inputs, either by hiring or on hire purchase to help them build up the basis upon which they could own those equipments.
Again, the right way to go is to ensure that such services are availed to farmers in a group so that this eventually eases the mode of paying back the lender or service dispenser.
It is our hope that the steps taken by SUMA JKT will be followed by other commercial suppliers of farm inputs to better the sector's services.
At one time the number of tractors in Tanzania stood at 35,000 units. Then, this country stood high among the young economies prospering on the back of farming. But currently the number stands at a mere 3,000 units.
To push this figure up some force from somewhere is required and this cannot be other than the private sector.
That is why when addressing a continental meeting last week, President Jakaya Kikwete told the delegates that the private sector is needed to make a swift move into agriculture so that tangible results can be registered.
