Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE:BKS)
The Company's principal business is the sale of trade books, mass market paperbacks, children's books, bargain books, magazines, music and movies direct to customers.
Struggling retail segments in both brick-and-mortar and the Nook division. The only saving grace for this company is licensing content with its publishing partners, which isn't really a core part of its business model (yet).

Rarely does an act of customer service go so far above and beyond the basics that it generates a specific shout out on a popular advocacy site such as The Consumerist.
That's exactly what happened with a Little Caesar's restaurant in an unnamed location. A Consumerist reader described the extraordinary effort thusly:
I was out doing some errands, and stopped in at a little caesar's (sic) by my bus stop. I only had 10 minutes before the bus, but when I got there somebody was ordering a bunch of pizzas for an event. She ended up taking each of the pizzas they had ready at the moment. When I inquired whether they had any pizzas ready, the answer was no, but there would be a pizza ready in 4 minutes. After waiting for the previous transaction, I knew I didn't have much time left, so I declined the wait and walked out to the bus stop.
Just when I could see the bus coming down the street, I heard 'delivery' from behind me, and I turned around to see the guy from caesars with a pizza. I tried to pay, but he said he didn't have change, and not to worry about the cost for the pizza. I'm still kind of floored by the initiative on the part of that person. So, in summary, I got a free pizza for the inconvenience of waiting for no pizza, and caesar's got a customer who is more likely to stop by after work, and a fat tip on the next time I stop in.

Mohamed el-Bisatie passed away on 14 July 2012 after a long illness. His long-time friend and translator Denys Johnson-Davies told Banipal that he "was a writer who was not afraid to treat death as an inevitable part of life. [His passing] is a big loss for Egypt and the Arab world."
Born and brought up in the Nile Delta he started
publishing short stories in magazines, and in 1968 his first full
collection was published. After that, came six more volumes of short
stories and eleven novels, with six published in English translation,
and some in French, German, Italian and Spanish.
A collection of his short stories translated by Denys Johnson-Davies was published in the mid-1990s – A Last Glass of Tea and Other Stories, and in 2003 AUC Press published Johnson-Davies's translation of his novel Houses Behind the Trees.
Banipal No 7 published an extract from the manuscript translation by Hala Halim of Clamor of the Lake, with the whole book published by AUC Press in 2004. This novel,translated by Hala Halim, was runner-up in the inaugural Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation, awarded in 2006. Click here for more details.
In 2006 his novel Over the Bridge, translated by Denys Johnson-Davies was published by AUC Press, and in 2008, his novel Hunger. In 2010, AUC Press published his novel Drumbeat, translated by Peter Daniel and excerpted in Banipal 37 (Spring 2010).
The Arabic orginal of Hunger was short-listed for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction 2008-09.
Mohamed el-Bisatie was awarded the prestigious Oweis Prize in 2001.

Leeds United have completed the signing of Italian striker Mirco Antenucci on a two-year deal from Ternana for an undisclosed fee.
The 30-year-old, who had been heavily linked with a move to West Yorkshire for some time, becomes United's 11th new addition of the summer and their seventh from Italian football.
Antenucci was co-owned by Catania and found himself loaned out to Ternana last season, where he was made captain and hit an impressive 19 goals in 40 appearances for the Serie B side.
The striker's career has largely been spent below the top-tier in Italy, starting at Giulianova before spells at Ancona, Catania, Venezia, Pisa, Ascoli, Torino, Catania again and Spezia.
Antenucci posted on his personal Twitter account: "Proud to be a part of this club. I hope to give you a lot of satisfaction."
Leeds have already bolstered their attacking options with the arrivals of Souleymane Doukara, Billy Sharp and Nicky Ajose, but they had been in the hunt for further additions as a move for Rotherham's Kieran Agard collapsed last week.

The Mentalist Review: A Red John Disciple?by Christine Orlando at . Comments
Could Patrick Jane be a Red John disciple? There are certainly plenty of theories out there. Some have even commented on these reviews that they believe Jane is Red John himself. "Cheap Burgundy," meanwhile, floated the idea that the FBI has its own theory.
But let's cover our murder cases first. Sometimes I really love that Jane isn't a macho guy. It leads to funny moments such as when he taunted the murderer, got socked in the nose and then ran away yelling for Lisbon to come save him.
What made it even more humorous was that with her hair up in that pony tail and her petite frame, Lisbon resembled a 12-year old girl. But there she was, all the same, standing between Jane and the burly guy trying to beat the crap out of him.
Did anyone believe that the Lt. Governor wanted Jane on that case? No? I didn't think so.
Jane wasn't kidding when he told Agent Darcy to quit the play acting because she wasn't good at it. For a seasoned FBI agent the woman was a horrible liar. From trying to convince Jane that she needed him to crack the case to pretending this was some sort of seduction, everything she did felt stilted and strange.
Until she asked Jane if he truly believed Red John was dead. Of course a large, blood-covered, knife-wielding murder suspect wandered out of the woods at just that moment. What were the odds?
Jane did one Hell of an accurate read on the man as he stalked towards Darcy, knife in hand. He wanted to force her to kill him. Only Jane's quick thinking stopped an innocent man from ending up dead.
When James gave Patrick that heartfelt hug, I didn't think he could have looked more uncomfortable. There isn't much physical contact in Jane's life. It made me wonder if he is distressed by any closeness that he doesn't initiate or control.
Back at the CBI, I was surprised that the arrogant, jackass of a suspect got under Lisbon's skin. Did he really rattle her by bringing up her daddy issues or was she just that ticked off by his attitude? Although I agreed that he was the most likely culprit, I was perplexed that she didn't take Cho's advice and look at other suspects.
Rigsby trying to hypnotize the man was ridiculous, but as I've never thought much of Wayne, it was more amusing than anything. Unless it's a arson case, he truly is the weak link on this team.
Lisbon was visibly thrilled when Jane called her to say he needed her help. She was practically beaming over the phone. And their joint admissions of missing the other were cute. Lisbon seemed to take it at face value but Jane almost looked confused, as though he was trying to figure out the meaning behind her words. But perhaps Jane's mind always looks for hidden meanings whether they are there or not.
How great was Jane's reading on Darcy? I loved it when he slipped into psychic mode. He's just so damn good at reading people. Unfortunately, this time his talent may have only made a bad situation worse. But Darcy did ask some good questions. If Red John wanted to make Jane suffer, why hasn't he gone after anyone from the CBI?
In the end, Lisbon was right to be concerned over Darcy's accusation. She knew the FBI agent wouldn't let it go.
So how far do you think Darcy will go to prove that Jane has a connection to Red John? Do you think there's any truth to it? I don't, but as I've said, I know some fans believe otherwise. And is Wainwright really on board with this investigation into Jane or simply playing both sides? Tell us your theories and don't miss the special Friday night bonus episode of The Mentalist TONIGHT.
C. Orlando is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: The Mentalist, Reviews
@Annie. How old is Wainwright? It's never been answered, he always avoids the question and to have reached his level/position he couldn't be as young as he looks. Previous episodes have stated RJ started his crime spree approx 12 years prior to current episodes which if Wainwright is as I believe, early to mid thirties means it could be more than likely he is RJ. What, you've never seen anyone look young for his age?
I think eveyone deciding Wainwright is RJ needs to step back and remember that much has been made of his youth. He can't be THE Red John. He is simply to young. Acolyte perhaps. Actual for real Red John, well, maybe if RJ started killing when he was about twelve tears old. Yes it has been known, but twelve year old serial killers that are still at it ten to fifteen years later? Uh no. To say nothing of Rosalinds experiences with RJ. That would seem to indicate an olde man, not someone who would have only just been in their very early twenties. Darcy is an extremely uncomfortable character. I don't know if it's just a case of the actor being badly directed, or being really badly written I just don't get her as a character... She may very well be just an FBI Agent with a bee in her bonnet about RJ. I wish to hell the writers would stop throwing terms like psychopath and sociopath around, especially when they are misused. If Darcy honestly believes Jane to be a true sociopath (at least she didn't call him a phsychopath like Wainwright did) she is more stupid than I thought possible for a so called senior agent. Interesting times.
In my opinion neither Darcy nor Wainwright are in with RJ.
The world is not black and white. Not everyone who goes after "the good ones" is a RJ accomplice. Lisbon seems to be in love with Jane. Now it's more obvious with every ep. But somehow now it's just embarrasing me.
Lisbon is my favourite character. What season 4 does to her litterally pains me.
Wainwright is connected to Red John and he is going to kill Darcy.
@ Student of Trivia - Think about it, Jane's not being taken of the RJ case, Wainright aka RJ is just expanding the game pieces and remember, he think's Darcy's cute or he did before she threatened to go after Jane as a disciple. Also, Wainright's body language and actions when the file were in his office were very, ummm.. almost affectionate when Lisbon left. He would almost consider them his opus. ;-P I still think he's RJ.
It can't be Wainright (either R.J. himself or a disciple) simply because he actually turned over all the R.J. files to Darcy a few weeks back and I seem to remember that was the reason Bosco and his team were eliminated, because R.J. wanted Jane to have the files back. R.J.ants to keep Jane in his sight to better manipulate him. Jane thinks he's 2 steps ahead, but is he?
I agree with the review. Some things didn't make sense. Darcy or Wainwright might be RJ disciples. Jane isn't RJ or a disciple. Jane/Lisbon scenes were great. "I missed you." "I missed you too." Darcy's kinda boring but she had some good scenes with Jane. I liked Wainwright's smile/head tilt when Darcy called Jane a sociopath.
The interaction between Darcy & Wainright in this episode has confirmed my belief that Wainright is Red John, not just a disciple. I also think this will be proven when RJ kills Darcy. Why? Darcy can't be allowed to investigate the supposition that Jane is RJ's disciple, he's (in RJ's mind) by turns, a toy, a competitor & an irritant (he spoiled RJ's retirement plan) and she's starting to interfere with his plans for Jane.
I don't know of any real-life cases, but it is a somewhat standard plot device going back at least as far as CRIME AND PUNISHMENT and TV shows like Columbo or movies like Heat for criminals to try to match wits with the detective after them or John Sandford's Lucas Davenport police deputy chief who's writes computer games is an example of serial killers calling him up to give him clues or complain about something they think is unfair. With Red John and Jane, I find the device believable/enjoyable that RJ would play games with Jane.
What if Jane is connected to RJ in a way that he doesn't yet know about;someone from his past?

Samsung M150 is a budget phone, but good looking
It is dual-band GSM 900/1800 with 1.77" 65k colors display and 128x160 pixels resolution, VGA camera, music and video players, Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0 and FM Radio. The interesting thing about the radio is that the user can record the broadcast for later listening.
Samsung M150 will be firstly available in Germany in the middle of August, and later in multiple European, Asian and African countries with pricing yet to be announced.

I do like what they are doing. Trying to make fashionable phone affordable instead of this hunk of plastic that has no visual appeal. I honesltly would have to see the other color variates of this because honestly I do not like the send and end keys.... Everything is just alittle too square for my taste. The radio opinion is rather interesting. It makes me just want to get my hands on it for the radio. Do any other phones on the market or about to be have this feature?
2. jbellamy (unregistered)
Actually alot of phones do. Most Nokias have a radio in them.
3. Sharky (Posts: 131; Member since: 24 Jun 2008)
Speaking of Nokias, this phone looks a bit like the 6300/6301.
5. (unregistered)
yeah every slim candybar phone looks like 6300
7. (unregistered)
You are right! But the Nokia is more of a mid-level while this one seems to be an entry level ... but both deliver design untypically good for their class
9. (unregistered)
he mean the fact that you can record radio broadcasts to listen to later derrrrrrrrrrr...........
4. (unregistered)
Now if only the FM radio worked via bluetooth instead of requiring the use of the wired-headphones, then they'd be on to something...
6. (unregistered)
it will require the headset (wired) for antenna

The film was released by Lionsgate Entertainment in 2007. Nyman appeared as one of the leads in the latest Frank Oz film, Death at a Funeral. He stars opposite Matthew Macfadyen, Ewen Bremner and Keeley Hawes. The film was released by MGM in 2007.[1]

For Something Wicked This Way Comes they were awarded the 2006 Olivier Award for Best Entertainment. Their fourth show Enigma was also nominated for Olivier Award 2010.[1]
Nyman won the award for best actor at the 2006 Cherbourg-Octeville Festival of Irish & British Film for his role as Colin Frampton in Shut Up and Shoot Me. He was nominated for the Lew Grade Award at the 2007 BAFTA Awards for his work on Derren Brown: The Heist.

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has tapped Riverside Publishing to create a series of high school end of course assessments that will gauge student learning and achievement in the context of the state's Show-me Standards and course-level expectations.
Under the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), Riverside will create 10 new assessments that will help measure student readiness for post-high school college and career activities. Riverside will develop custom test items and forms, set achievement levels for each assessment, provide scoring and reporting services, and supply training for teachers. The test rollout should be along an "ambitious timetable," according to Stan Johnson, DESE assistant commissioner:
"We will have to move fast to develop the first three tests in time for the 2008–09 school year," he said in a prepared statement.
Riverside, a subsidiary of education publisher Houghton Mifflin Co., will partner with assessment firm Questar Assessment and the University of Missouri's Assessment Resource Center (ARC) to create the assessments for DESE's MAP program.

List of fictional U.S. states
|This article contains embedded lists that may be poorly defined, unverified or indiscriminate. (May 2014)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2007)
This is a list of fictional states of the United States found in various works of fiction involving the states, insular areas, districts, reservations, or other unincorporated territories.
- 1 Fictional states of the United States
- 1.1 Non-existing states
- 1.2 Alternative representations of states
- 2 Collections of states as Independent nations
- 3 See also

- 5 External links
Fictional states of the United States[edit]
Fictional states are not as common as fictional cities, counties, or countries; often, a work will invent a fictional city and simply not reveal its state. Occasionally, however, a fictional state is created to house fictional cities, towns, or counties. Typically, a work that features a fictional state will also reveal the names of several cities within that state.
Non-existing states[edit]
Named U.S. states[edit]
- Ames, the fictitious state in which are set many moot-court cases and examination problems at Harvard Law School.
- Midlands, the fictional (supposedly Midwestern) state in which all American Mock Trial Association cases take place.
- Reserve, the fictitious state in which are set many moot court and mock trial cases at Case Western Reserve University School of Law.
- Apodidraskiana, a slave state referenced in Thomas Love Peacock's novel Crotchet Castle. Dotandcarryonetown is located there, which is a haven for people who wish to disappear for one reason or another. The state's name appears to be derived from apodidraskinda (ἀποδιδρασκίνδα), a game similar to hide-and-seek described by the 2nd-century Greek writer Julius Pollux.
- Catawba, a stand-in for North Carolina in Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel. It contains the mountain town of Altamont (Asheville) and city of Pulpit Hill (Chapel Hill), which is the location of a large university.
- Dorado in I-0, a 1997 work of interactive fiction by Adam Cadre.
- Euphoria, in the academic novels of David Lodge, based on California. It first appears in Changing Places, much of which is set in Euphoric State University in the city of Plotinus, itself based on Berkeley, California. Euphoria is located between "North California" and "South California".
- Fremont, in the novel "Space" by James A. Michener. This fictional state is located roughly along the land along the border between Kansas and Nebraska, and is meant to stand for the American midwest in general. Named for 19th century explorer & politician John Charles Fremont.
- Hohoq, popularly known as Ar, from John Hodgman's The Areas of My Expertise. Hohoq is a large flying state inhabited by a mix of bird people known as Thunderbirds and German-American settlers. It refuses to send a delegate to the United States Congress but provides the federal government with an annual tribute of bauxite. State Motto: "Please do not seek us."
- Michisota, in the children's book "Avalanche Annie: A Not-So-Tall-Tale" by writer Lisa Wheeler. This fictional state is a cross between Michigan and Minnesota and has snowy weather, from what the book describes. In this fictional state, a mountain called Mount Himalachia is found.
- Mickewa, a state represented by Senator Elias Gotobed, in The American Senator, an 1877 novel by Anthony Trollope.
- Ochichornia, in the semi-biographic novels and stories of Russian writer Vasily Aksyonov. This name can be related to the popular Russian song "The Dark Eyes" ("Очи черные", "Ochi Chernie" in Russian). It has been suggested that Ochichornia is just another name for California.
- Oconee, a fictional southern state tucked between Georgia and Tennessee, which appeared in Michael Bishop's satirical superhero/fantasy novel Count Geiger's Blues. The story is set in Oconee's largest city, Salonika, a Metropolis-like stand-in for Atlanta.
- Pennsyltucky, a state referenced in Tiny Cracker Zoo, by Christopher Master.
- Toxoplassachusetts. The state occupied by the "toxoplasmodic hivemind", which constitutes 1/3 of the U.S. population, in John Hodgman's "That Is All".
- Udana. Made up of Utah and Montana, a location on the itinerary of Humbert-Humbert, in Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Lolita".
- Washagon, a state referenced in Book: A Novel, by Robert Grudin, clearly a portmanteau of Washington (U.S. state) and Oregon.
- Winnemac, in the novels of Sinclair Lewis. Several of his novels are set in the Winnemac town of Zenith, and the University of Winnemac is located in Mohalis. Winnemac is bordered by Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana.
- Calisota, in the Duck universe from various Walt Disney comic books. Calisota is probably roughly equivalent to Northern California. It includes the city of Duckburg, and possibly Mouseton, Spoonerville, and St. Canard. The name is likely derived from California and Minnesota, with possible references to the Northern California town of Calistoga.
- Coventry, from Bill Willingham's horror comic book of the same name.
- DC universe: The Twin Cities;
- Gotham, as seen on Bruce Wayne's license plate in The Dark Knight.[1]
- Metropolis, as seen on Lois Lane's license plate.
- Malebolgia, a Bible Belt state in the Doctor Who audio drama Minuet in Hell.
- Missitucky, in the 1947 Broadway musical Finian's Rainbow, with music by Burton Lane and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg, which follows one Finian McLonergan from Ireland in the town of Rainbow Valley in the mythical state of Missitucky, intent on burying a stolen pot of gold in the shadows of Fort Knox, in the mistaken belief it will grow and multiply. The name is a portmanteau of Mississippi and Kentucky.
- North Montana. From the movie Meet the Robinsons which is the former country of Canada & takes place in the future.
- Bikini Bottom, the setting of SpongeBob SquarePants, is referenced as being an American state in the Christmas short "Plankton's Holiday Hits"
- Moosylvania, from Jay Ward's Rocky and Bullwinkle television series. This state has been contested by the U.S. and Canada in two episodes of the series, "Moosylvania" and "Moosylvania Saved". The U.S. says it is a province of Canada, while Canada says it is a U.S. state. It is an island in the middle of western Lake Superior. Bullwinkle is governor of Moosylvania. The state's official sport is farkling. Jay Ward even tried to make the 51st state, which he called "Moosylvania", by claiming an island off the coast of the U.S. and Canada for himself and promoting it all over the country. When Ward and his publicist, Howard Brandy, arrived at the White House gate with a proposal and signed petition, the guards told them to leave due to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
- New Delaware, mentioned in The Daily Show as a state that doesn't exist anymore—an example for Senate officials who «pick up the wrong state to change the rules with».[2]
- New Troy, in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The state Metropolis is in. New Troy is probably analogous to New York State. The name was never used as a state in the comics, which has placed Metropolis in various locations along the eastern coast of the United States over the decades. The name has also been used by writer Mark Gruenwald as a direct analog of New York State for the original version of the Squadron Supreme in assorted Marvel Universe comics series.
- Oklachusetts, from the Seth MacFarlane animated short The Life of Larry. Larry, who would later become Peter Griffin in Family Guy, described it as "where the wind comes sweeping down the Pike".
- Statesota is the state in which Moralton is located in the Adult Swim series Moral Orel. Based on the overhead map viewable during the show's opening credits, Statesota is made up of much of western Missouri and eastern Kansas.
- Wichita, appears in the Spanish humour sketch program "La hora de José Mota". Its capital city has the same name: Wichita.
Video Games[edit]
- Columbia, a floating city and former state in BioShock Infinite, controversy for its actions in the Boxer Rebellion having prompted its secession.[3]
- New Temperance, in Gangsters 2. The state map had an eastern coastline and included several large islands, and was made up of a combination of urban and upstate areas. The architecture and in particular civic institutions like the police seemed largely based on Illinois—the most important fact about it, however, was simply that it was a dry state during prohibition.
- North Yankton. From the video game Grand Theft Auto V. It is the birthplace of Michael De Santa (born Michael Townley).
- New Guernsey is a surrogate for New Jersey state and/or Jersey City in various fictional contexts, including the Batman comics, television series and films. Like the real New Jersey, the "State of New Guernsey" is named after one of the Channel Islands. (The similarly named "New Guernsey" in the Grand Theft Auto games series, however, is only a city, located in the state of Alderney; see below.)
- Carcer City. From Rockstar Games' Manhunt which may have taken inspiration from the real-life cities of Camden, NJ; Flint, MI; East St Louis, IL; Gary, IN and Detroit, MI. Carcer City is believed to be connected with the Grand Theft Auto universe since there are references in Grand Theft Auto III that states that Carcer City is close to Liberty City.
- San Andreas. From Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V San Andreas is the fictional state and the setting behind both games. First appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it would later take on a much larger role in Grand Theft Auto 5.
Unnamed U.S. states[edit]
|This section possibly contains original research. (May 2014)
- BO is the abbreviation for the state Weinerville is in.
- Cherokee State appears on the license plates on the sitcom Malcolm in the Middle; this is likely intended to be a state nickname.
- Eagle State likewise appears on license plates on the television series Desperate Housewives.
- Sideburn State appears on license plates on the television series The Adventures of Pete & Pete.
- Sill. is the abbreviation for the state containing Lichfield in the works of James Branch Cabell.
- An episode of Green Acres claimed that the town of Hooterville was located in a state named after Rutherford B. Skrug, its first governor. However, Petticoat Junction and The Beverly Hillbillies place Hooterville in Missouri.
- Unnamed State (The Simpsons) containing Springfield, Shelbyville, and Capitol City from The Simpsons. Producer/director David Silverman once unofficially named Springfield's setting as being in the fictional state of North Takoma. In one episode of The Simpsons, Homer's driver's license states that the postal abbreviation of their home state is "NT". In The Simpsons Movie, Flanders and Bart are at the top of a mountain, where Flanders states you can see the four states that border Springfield: Ohio, Nevada, Maine and Kentucky. In the episode "Bart vs. Lisa vs. The Third Grade", it is stated that the state's State Bird is the pot-bellied finch, the State Pasta is futicelli, and the State Flag is a Confederate flag rising above an ocean (an embarrassment considering that this state was Northern).
- Unnamed State in novel and film Primary Colors, also referred to in sequel The Running Mate. Small state in the south, home to Governor Jack Stanton (D). Capital is Mammoth Falls and Stanton's own hometown is Grace Junction. Allegorical to Arkansas, with Jack Stanton representing Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton in Joe Klein's roman à clef

Alternative representations of states[edit]
51st state[edit]
51st state (and related terms) have been used in books and film usually used in a negative sense:
- In Americathon (1979), set in a fictional 1998, Britain (renamed as Limeyland) has become the 57th state, and the logo of the Safeway grocery chain hangs on the Palace of Westminster.
- In the alternative universe of Alan Moore's graphic novel Watchmen, the Vietnam War ends with the conquest of the North and annexation of a united Vietnam as the 51st state.
- In the novel 51st State (1998) by Peter Preston, Britain leaves the European Union and becomes the 51st state of the United States.
- In The Light of Other Days (2000), a novel by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter, Britain joins the United States, with the Prime Minister serving as governor and the Royal Family exiled to Australia.
- The British film The 51st State (released in the United States and Canada as Formula 51), makes fun of Anglo-American relations.
- State 51 is an upside-down, floating state featured in the Marvel Comics series Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E..
- Saudi Israelia. From the Simpsons episode "Future-Drama", which takes place in the future. Bart's future girlfriend mentions it as the 51st state. Named after Saudi Arabia and Israel.
North American Union[edit]
- North American Union, a theoretical economic and political union of Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The concept is based on continental union-theory (such as the European Union), occasionally including a common currency called the Amero or the North American Dollar. A union of the North American continent, sometimes extending to Central America and Union of South American Nations, has been the subject of academic concepts for over a century, as well as becoming a common trope in science fiction.
The United States of Canada[edit]
- Jesusland map, an Internet meme created after the 2004 United States Presidential election, which satirizes the red/blue states scheme by dividing the United States and Canada into "The United States of Canada" and "Jesusland".[4] The map implies the existence of a fundamental political divide between contiguous northern and southern regions of North America, the former including both the socially liberal Canada and the West Coast, northeastern, and north-Midwestern states of the USA, and suggests that these states are closer in spirit to Canada than to the more conservative regions of their own country.
Collections of states as Independent nations[edit]
Geopolitical variations of sovereign nations in North America are a recurring theme due to historical debates regarding partition and secession movements. This is especially common trope in regards to alternative historical works of fiction involving the United States.
Confederate States of America-variants[edit]
- Southern Victory Series novel series by Harry Turtledove, with fictional character Jake Featherston as President of the Confederate States of America; the fictional timeline's equivalent of Adolf Hitler as Confederate territories are annexed by American Empire.
- Captain Confederacy, an alternate history comic book by Will Shetterly and Vince Stone (published between 1986 and 1992), tells the story of an African-American superhero created for propaganda purposes in a world in which the Confederate States of America won their independence.
- C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America, a 2004 mockumentary directed by Kevin Willmott, features a fictional "tongue-in-cheek" political-mockumentary account of an alternate history in which the Confederates won the American Civil War, establishing the new Confederate States of America (that incorporates the former United States, Mexico, and the majority of South-America).
- North American Confederacy States (NAC), an alternate history series of novels created by L. Neil Smith, ostensible point of divergence is the addition of a single word in the preamble to the United States Declaration of Independence, wherein it states that governments "...derive their just power from the unanimous consent of the governed." Inspired by this wording, Albert Gallatin intercedes in the Whiskey Rebellion to the benefit of the farmers, rather than the fledgling United States government. This eventually leads to the execution of George Washington, the abrogation of the U.S. Constitution, and the reestablishment of government under the revised Articles of Confederation, but with a much greater emphasis on individual freedom.
- Russian Amerika, the alternate history novel, has 20th-century North America made up of several independent sovereign nations:[5] The point of divergence is that the United States lost the Civil War with the Confederacy; and as a post-war consequence, the Union loses all ground west of the Mississippi River as American-claimed western lands secede from the Union.
- United States of America (formerly Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York State, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, the majority of Illinois, and the southeastern part of Quebec)

- New Spain (formerly Central America)
- Republic of Hawaii (formerly Hawaiian Islands, and the Outlying Islands)
- Russian Amerika (formerly Alaska, the majority of the Yukon Territory, and the northwestern portion of British Columbia)
- American Empire (米帝 Beitei?, AE), a fictional country appearing in Masamune Shirow's anime and manga series' Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed, consists primarily of the American states that had formed the Confederate States of America, plus parts of the Great Plains and Southwest. After the end of World War III, the United States is partitioned by an unspecified process into three countries: the American Empire, the Russo-American Alliance (米露連合 Bei-Ro Rengō?, in pre-1991 materials, the Ameri-Soviet Union (米ソ連合 Bei-So Rengō?)), and the rump state United States of America (アメリカ合衆国 Amerika Gasshūkoku?). The American Empire is the only successor state to play a major role in world politics. Its government seems driven by a desire to restore its diminished power and prestige, towards which end it adopts a policy of militarist aggression and open imperialism, directed primarily against Latin America.
Post-invasion/apocalyptic United States[edit]

The European Union sends peacekeepers to the New York and Washington metropolitan areas to secure international interests, while the Russian Federation invades and occupies Alaska (under the pretense of "expanded humanitarian operations"). As wave of secessionist sentiment rises in America; the governor of California declares home rule, and secedes from the Union on April 15, 2013. Texas follows a few days later, taking neighboring states with it and re-forming the Republic of Texas. Other factions form in the following months, and by 2014, all hopes for a peaceful resolution are gone and the Second American Civil War begins.
- Fallout, a retrofuturistic United States setting influenced by the post-war culture of 1950s America, and its combination of hope for the promises of technology and lurking fear of nuclear annihilation. Since the end of World War 3, the eastern-states are referred to as "the Capital Wastelands".

Other collections of independent states[edit]
- The comic book Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew took place in the "United Species of America" on the parallel world of Earth-C; the comic featured several analogs of real US states, including:
- Taxes: nicknamed "the Lone Stork State"; an analogue of Texas. Taxes was the home of supervillain Armordillo, as well as the cities of "Hogston" and "San Antoadio."
- Kornsas: A state in the midwest; an analogue of Kansas.
- Califurnia: A state on the western coast of the U.S.; an analogue of California. This state featured the cities "Saint Bernardino," "Beaverly Hills," "Follywood," and "Los Antelopes." The Zoo Crew's headquarters was located in Follywood; the city was also the home of team members Yankee Poodle and Rubberduck.
- The episode of the animated series Futurama entitled "Bendin' in the Wind" showed some maps of the USA in the year 3000. Many states were humorously respelled (such as "eHIO" for Ohio). The map also showed two new states: Pennsylvania being divided into the Penn Republic and Sylvania ([1]), parodying the breakup of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Other humorous states, such as "East West Virginia," are included. Most of the series takes place in New New York, which the final episode confirms is the name of both the state and city's name.
- The animated series The Flintstones presented a few "prehistoric" versions of modern-day states, including:
- Texarock: A prehistoric version of Texas (though the name "Texas" was also used interchangeably).
- Arkanstone: A prehistoric version of Arkansas; the former home of various hillbilly ancestors of Fred Flintstone, as well as their rivals, the Hatrock family. Bears a (probably coincidental) similarity to the name of the Arkenstone.
- New Rock: A prehistoric version of New York.
- The Grand Theft Auto video game franchise has featured a number of fictional states:
- Alderney, a parallel of New Jersey, neighboring Liberty City. It contains the city New Guernsey.

- San Andreas has similarities to California and Nevada: Los Santos and San Fierro are based on Los Angeles and San Francisco, respectively, while Las Venturas is a version of Las Vegas. The name is derived from the San Andreas Fault.
- The video game Red Dead Redemption features two fictional states:
- In Orson Scott Card's The Tales of Alvin Maker series, the United States exists as a much smaller nation, between the area of New England and the Crown Colonies which extend from roughly Virginia south to Georgia. The nation has a significantly higher Iroquois and Dutch influence than in the real world. Member states include:
- Irrakwa
- New Holland
- New Orange
- New Sweden
- Pennsylvania
- Suskwahenny
- Barry Shils' 1991 film Motorama contains a number of fictional states, which appear to be in the southwestern US. Three of these (Mercer, Bergen, and Essex) are counties in New Jersey. In order of appearance, they are:

Aegis Combat System's Newest Baseline Demos Over The Horizon Capability In Series Of 3 Tests
The Lockheed Martin and U.S. Navy team's [NYSE: LMT] Baseline 9 Aegis Combat System recently completed multiple exercises including the longest-range engagement ever tested with a Standard Missile-6 (SM-6). This is the first major series of tests for the integrated air and missile defense (IAMD)-equipped USS John Paul Jones (DDG-53), and highlights the system's accuracy in identifying and destroying threats from beyond the radar horizon.
The first of three Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air (NIFC-CA) exercises involved a long-range mission, known as AS-2A, which used data from a non-Aegis system to identify targets in a stressing scenario. The second and third tests, AS-2B and AS-2C, were conducted in increasingly difficult conditions that involved targets at varying altitudes and cross-sections.
Security and Surveillance Radar Market (Land Systems, Airborne Systems, and Naval Systems) - Global ...
"NIFC-CA is a game changer for the U.S. Navy because it can be used in collaboration with other systems, to track and destroy approaching cruise missiles at much longer distances than existing technologies can," said Jim Sheridan, director of Aegis U.S. Navy programs for Lockheed Martin. "This validation of the NIFC-CA capability aboard a destroyer comes on the heels of the successful cruiser tests we completed onboard USS Chancellorsville back in August 2013 and we look forward to seeing this capability fielded in the fleet."
NIFC-CA will be deployed on the Theodore Roosevelt Battle Group in 2015 after completing additional testing this year.

From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 02:34, 18 December 2009 by Mike czech (Talk)
| This talk page is for discussing the Caporegime article.
This includes commenting on the article, questioning whether it is correct, or adding suggestions for improvements
Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:
I dont believe Toni was ever a capo before the events of LCS so much as he was just a rising star in the family. He was officially "made" in LCS which means he must not have been before and from what i've learned about the american mafia I dont think you can be promoted to that position of Caporegime if you're not a made guy.
