Andy Samberg Breaks Caricature
By Joshua David Stein
Halfway through writing one of his lauded digital shorts at the Saturday Night Live studio at 30 Rock the Thursday before it's supposed to air, Andy Samberg is ruffled in his raffish, lackadaisical way. It's already 9 p.m. and he's got all night to go. His hair is mussed, but that's to be expected. His style is slacker-cool (plaid work shirt, corduroys) except for a pair of new brown-and-pink argyle Gravis skate shoes.
'I'm the number 1 dandy-preppy-skate poseur,' he says happily, breaking into his million-dollar grin and settling in for an interview. Samberg has a lot to smile about. As the crown jewel of the strongest SNL cast in years, Samberg, 30, has an ardent and large following, a future of guaranteed-profitable films (see Ferrell, Will), and his good looks. But the thing he's got most -- and what makes you love him -- is laughter, huge skeins of it that unspool and fill up a room. And more than his laughter even, he's got the ability to make others -- me, you, the rest of the world -- laugh.
I Love You, Man, Samberg's second live-action feature (after Hot Rod), is, in his words, 'a dude-on-dude romantic story that straight guys can feel comfortable watching.' Written by John Hamburg (Meet the Parents), it stars Paul Rudd as Peter Klaven, a man on the verge of marriage. Concerned about her soon-to-be-husband's lack of male friends, his fianc'e, Zooey (The Office's Rashida Jones), encourages him to find some. Inexplicably bereft of the programmatic behavioral quirks that bring men together -- a love of football and talking about pussy -- Peter turns to his younger brother Robbie, played by Samberg, for advice. Robbie is a classic bro. He works at a gym, likes to give pounds (terrorist fist jabs!), and refers to men as dudes and stuff as shit, as in 'Dudes like shit like that.'
'Apropos to your magazine,' Samberg explains, 'he's gay.' And not just any type of gay, but a het hunter.
'My character knows men really well, and knows straight men really well, because he only fucks them,' says Samberg. As a scholar and lover of men, Robbie doles out advice on how to catch one. The word man-date is used a lot, and Peter goes on a number of them. Hilarity and high jinks promptly ensue. Many end in disaster, but one ends in a friendship with Sydney Fife, a bro-ish investor played by Jason Segel, which forms the crucible of the narrative.

Rocker and gun rights advocate Ted Nugent was expected to plead guilty Tuesday to transporting a black bear he illegally killed in Alaska. A plea agreement with federal prosecutors signed by Nugent says he illegally shot and killed the bear in May 2009 on Sukkwan Island in southeast Alaska after wounding another bear in a bow hunt. The bow incident counted toward a state seasonal limit of one bear.

Bakkwa, also known as rougan, is a Chinese salty-sweet dried meat product similar to jerky, made in the form of flat thin sheets. Bakkwa is made with a meat preservation and preparation technique from China. The method for production have remained virtually unchanged throughout the centuries, but has been improved.
In Malaysia and Singapore, bakkwa has become a highly popular gift offered to visitors and acquaintances, as well as amongst corporate employees (some during the Chinese New Year). Bakkwa is becoming a favourite gift to hand out to friends and relatives during Chinese New Year. In Muslim-majority countries like Malaysia, halal chicken varieties of the snack may be used as a gift substitute. It may also be served in functions such as Chinese wedding banquets and religious ceremony dinners. While demand is particularly high during the festive seasons, it is also served throughout the year in various outlets as takeaway snacks or to be served together with main courses at home. The meat is commonly sold in red-coloured bags or packaging, an auspicious colour in Chinese culture.

How to Study Abroad in South Korea
A Fascinating Nation
Study abroad in South Korea, land of technology and rich tradition, and you will be engulfed in a diverse culture full of ambition, independence, and certainty.
The Republic of South Korea is located on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, fenced in by the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan. Around seventy percent of the country is mountainous. The climate is very cold and dry in the winter, and very hot and humid in the summer. While the language of study abroad programs will most likely be English, Korean is the main language of the country's 48.87 million inhabitants.
Korean cuisine often varies according to the season, so our taste of Korean cuisine will depend on the time of the year you're studying abroad. South Korea has satisfying cuisine with a wide variety of flavors that hit every part of your palate. Kimchi refers to strongly pickled vegetables, traditionally cabbage, with a variety of seasoning, often spicy. Banchan are little side dishes made up of pickled vegetables, noodles or a variety of fish, which are placed in the middle of the table to be shared. Usually, meals consist of rice, soup, banchan, kimchi and a meat dish. Meat lovers will rejoice over pulgogi, Korean barbecue: thin slices of beef marinated with soy sauce, sesame oil, and other spices.
The people of Korea have strong traditions of which they are very proud. The Gangneung Danoje Festival is the largest countrywide festival, held to pray for a good harvest. Music, dance, literature, drama, and handicrafts reflect the history and life of commoners. You will also be able to partake in a traditional tea ceremony, meant to help Koreans find relaxation and harmony in the fast-paced new Korean culture.
From the ancient tombs of Jisandong to the spectacular beaches of Songjeong, South Korea has so much to offer. Some of these amazing destinations might be added into your study abroad program as excursions — work with your program provider to figure out if and what excursions are included. Check out the Hwaseong Fortress located 30 miles south of Seoul and surrounding the center of Suwon. The fortress was built from 1794-1796 and stretches for about 3.5 miles. It is quite the sight to see! Also, if you enjoy shopping you can't miss the Dongdaenum Night market. It is located in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and has more than 30,000 shops.
If you like the hustle and bustle of big-city life, Seoul, the capital of South Korea, has several options for study abroad. In Seoul, top-notch institutions such as Seoul International University and Yonsei University offer courses in a variety of academic fields, including Asian studies. For a smaller city, check out Ajou University, located in Suwon and offering courses in business and social sciences.
In order to study abroad in South Korea, you need an up-to-date and valid passport. If your study term is longer than 90 days, you are required to get a student visa for South Korea. You won't need a visa if you are participating in a short-term study abroad program, and staying in the country for less than 90 days. Apply for your student visa through the Korean consulate.

Various Artists Nigeria 70
- Words: Eric K. Arnold
- Label: Strut
- XLR8R Rating: 10/10
At the same time that American black musicians were sporting dashikis and Afros, their counterparts in Nigeria were rocking platform boots and wide collared-shirts—and pioneering a genre of music that infused a strong dollop of heavy psychedelic funk into traditional African grooves. Funky Lagos' most celebrated export was a pre-Anikulapo Fela Kuti, but while Afrobeat's founder appears twice on this two-disc set, the other 21 tracks show that his was only one take on the sound. Lesser-known artists like William Onyeabor, Bongos Ikwue, The Funkees, and Afro Cult Foundation freely mix call-and-response vocals and killer percussion with groovy bass, punchy horns, and analog synths, resulting in equally classic, breakbeat-worthy funk with an African feel. Utterly essential.

Does Doc really have hope Sheed's tech will be rescinded?
Doc, don't get your hopes up. Methinks this one is a losing battle.
"I hope they rescind that one because I thought he did a dance but he ran away,'' said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. "I didn't think he said anything. The dance was funny, and so I could see it, but I don't know. I just wish they hadn't given it to him. It is a concern.''
The dance was funny. I'm dying laughing right now, but this dance was the furthest thing from funny when it originally happened. I was ready to kill Sheed for this T, and the way he was yelling at the ref I was pretty damn sure he was going to get another one too. Talk about an implosion at the exact wrong time. The only funny part was that Sheed got that mad when it looked like he pretty clearly smacked Kobe across the arm. And that Mike Breen, for some reason unbeknown to me, didn't even realize Sheed had been called for a foul… but you can hear the PA guy announce Sheed's foul mere seconds before Breen said, "What is he upset about? They didn't even call a foul on him."
By the way, I don't think there's any chance this technical foul gets rescinded. Perk behaved in a similar fashion in Game 5 of the Orlando series and saw his tech taken away, but Rasheed was far, far more animated than Perk was. Hell, I think Sheed's scream might still be echoing off the Garden walls.
P. S. – Sheed and Perk both have six technicals now. Next one and they're suspended. Stay cool, fellas. Because you know Kobe is going to keep yapping at Perk like he did yesterday to try to get under Perk's skin, and now he'll probably be yapping at Sheed too.
P. P. S. – Sheed's technical wasn't the only tech Doc talked about last night. He had this joke to say about Nate's 'T': "Even Nate, that was one I didn't like more than Rasheed's. We don't have to be tough, especially at whatever height you are." Zing.

Difference between ROIC and ROCE?IB

Mind explaining what is the difference between both ROIC and ROCE and what's the formula being used for those two?

Not too sure about ROCE. Hope you guys could help to clarify on this.
Thanks all.

> Attachment Garnishment And Replevin
Attachment Garnishment and Replevin
If a civil lawsuit is filed seeking the recovery of money, the plaintiff (the person suing) can request that the court issue a writ of attachment. Attachment is a type of prejudgment process in which the court orders the sheriff to seize or attach the property described in the writ. The property is held in the sheriff's custody until a judgment is rendered in the case. The property is seized as a means of securing payment if the plaintiff obtains a judgment against the defendant (the person being sued). The attachment is not an independent action but is ancillary to the civil action for money. If the plaintiff wins the lawsuit, he/she can obtain the sale of the attached property in order to pay the amount of the judgment.
Garnishment, also called wage execution or wage garnishment, is a court-ordered method of debt collection. Garnishment is a legal procedure in which part of a person's salary is paid to a judgment creditor. A judgment creditor is a plaintiff who has recovered a judgment against a defendant (judgment debtor), but the judgment has not been satisfied or paid. Garnishment involves the judgment creditor's seizure of money, which is owed to the judgment debtor, from a third party (the garnishee). For example, if a wife recovers a judgment for child support against the husband, and the child support has not been paid, the wife could have the husband's wages garnished. This means the husband's employer (the garnishee) would withhold part of the husband's earnings for payment of the child support debt. By law, no more than 25 percent of a person's disposable earnings can be garnished in any pay period.
Replevin is a legal proceeding to recover personal property from the person who has possession of it. A person who claims that he/she has title to the personal property and that another has wrongfully taken it can file an action in replevin to recover the specific property. An action in replevin is based on an unlawful detention of personal property. The item of personal property has to be specifically identifiable. Generally, the plaintiff can recover the personal property before a judgment is rendered in the case if the plaintiff files a bond or cash deposit with the court. This bond or deposit ensures that the plaintiff will return the property to the defendant if the plaintiff loses the case.

The report is intended for high school counselors, prospective and current students, IS academics, HR professionals, hiring managers, and legislators.
The AIS – Temple Fox School Job Index is a joint five year project to produce reliable national level data on placement, type of jobs, satisfaction, and on related factors such as career services, knowledge level, preparedness, and search strategies. The project will produce an annual IS job index report and is intended to become the first systematic assessment of the IS job market.
2013 IS Job Index
The top 10 observations from the 2013 AIS – Temple Fox School IS Job Index report which represents 48 universities and more than 1200 students in the United States are:
- The IS job market is healthy with high placement levels of 74% overall and 78% upon graduation.
- Bachelor IS students average salary is $57,212 while Master IS students average salary is $65,394.
- 76% of IS graduates are satisfied with their jobs, and 76% are confident they will perform well in those jobs. 73% found jobs related to their chosen degree.
- Information Technology, Financial Services, and Business Services / Consulting are the top industries for IS jobs.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Telegraphic Transfer or Telex Transfer, often abbreviated to TT, is a historic term used to refer to an electronic means of transferring funds overseas. A transfer charge is collected while sending money.
Historically "T/T," meant a cable message from one bank to another in order to effect the transfer of money. Prior to the existence of electronic payment networks this was often directly between banks via a Telex message. It is now most often used in UK Banking and in law to refer to either a CHAPS transfer for domestic transfers or a SWIFT transfer for international transfers.
The term is also used to describe other electronic funds transfer methods and, incorrectly, BACS (Bankers Automated Clearing Services) payments.

Posted by Very Bad Food on 08/05/2007
My wife and I started with a app. which should have been good, but it was tasteless, greasy, we took two bits, and sent it back, then came the main course, I had a steak sandwich which was full a fat, peppers, and a lump of cheese, I only had half, my wife had a pork dish, which was covered in so much dry spice rub, thats all you could taste.The waiter ask if everything was o.k., Of course we told her no, she said the manager removed the app from the check, who cared about that we had came to eat. And just couldn't. The bottom line is the place looks, nice, maybe just for a drink or two, but stay away from the food.
Posted by Riley on 04/07/2007
Chicken paillard and accompanying side dishes were so salty my tongue burned. My husband ordered a cheeseburger rare which arrived too rare, so he asked them to cook it a bit more. He got a whole new burger (which was nice) except it had no cheese, no lettuce or tomato and was well done as a hockey puck. Server was efficient but charmless. To her credit,she was managing an unwieldy number of tables and it was before a Garden event. Oh, I was also annoyed that we didn't get a bread basket but now I think that was probably a blessing.
Posted by RangersFan on 05/26/2006
If you are going to anything at the garden, go here to eat. If its a Rangers game or a concert it becomes a great meeting place. The food is awesome too, if you go get the pot roast.
Posted by M on 04/30/2006
I went here with 3 girlfirends, 2 of us ordered the sirloin medium and when we got it, it was black and burnt, very dry, absolutely no taste. 3 of us ordered wine which tasted like water. i don't recommend this place at all. service was good though.
Posted by garden party on 01/11/2006
Great for a pre garden event.
Posted by Victor on 01/04/2006
Mustang Harry's is a decent place to grab a drink and a few appetizers before an event at the Garden. A real meal isn't such a good idea. The service is fine, and the atmosphere is sufficiently relaxed, but the main courses leave quite a bit to be desired. Stick to the basics: 1. booze and 2. appetizers that require little culinary skill.
Posted by Dawn on 11/08/2005
We really enjoyed the food here the 1st time and came back for another great meal! Worth the price cause the food is delicious!

Choosing a Site for the Eastern Illinois State Normal School:
A Study of Nineteenth-Century Community Planning and Public Health
Beth Loecke
Beth is this year's Distinguished Graduate Student in in Historical Administration at Eastern Illinois. She wrote this article first for Dr. Nora Pat Small's History of American Architecture. Beth's research also uncovered in the University Archives the original copy of the 1895 Charleston newspaper which we have selected for this volume's cover.
Why was Charleston, a small county seat fighting even to keep its courthouse from moving to another town, chosen as the site for a new State Normal School in 1895? Why was the school located south of the town, when the most convenient means of transport, the railroad, was located to the north? The answers, surprisingly, lie in health scares in Chicago as well as the Columbian World Exposition of 1893.
By the mid-nineteenth century, there was an "instinct for improvement" among community leaders and citizens. People were tired of the ugly, chaotic conditions that existed in cities. It was a commonly held belief that the urban environment was an unnatural and unhealthy place for humans. These ideas transformed into a movement to elevate the urban population by creating more beautiful and natural surroundings. Nature had the power to instill the ideals of America's democratic rural past in the common man. The rural cemetery movement of the 1830s had been translated into a movement for public parks. Public parks were considered necessary to protect public health, provide for recreation, and foster moral improvement and republican virtue, which was disappearing as people lost their connection to the land. City leaders were quick to adopt the vocabulary of sanitary reform in promoting the creation of public parks and squares within the cities.(1)
By the end of the Civil War, the public generally understood that disease was preventable. However, it was hard to motivate the public except when epidemics created crises. Then people were willing to implement measures aimed at controlling diseases. Medical theory at this time blamed filth in the form of noxious odors or miasmas caused by decomposing garbage and waste for epidemics. Therefore, reformers believed that cleanliness could solve many of the nation's health problems. Epidemics usually initiated massive cleanup campaigns. The New York Metropolitan Board of Health's success in combating the 1866 cholera epidemic prompted other cities to establish municipal boards of health. It also prompted a realization by people that their own health and comfort depended in part on their neighbor's and illustrated the need for more water to secure cleanliness. But, the increased usage of water created drainage and disposal problems since most cities did not have a network of drains and sewers.(2)
Chicago in the 1850s had a reputation for being unhealthy. It was no wonder because the city had no sewer system. Garbage and refuse was thrown into the Chicago River or alleys. Drinking water came from shallow wells or the lakeshore. Since the city had been built on the lake plain, it always had a drainage problem. Chicago's problems and the attempts to fix them mirrored what was occurring nationally.
The 1854 cholera epidemic was especially deadly. As a result, in 1855, the city council established a Sewerage Commission, which brought in Ellis Sylvester Chesbrough, the designer of Boston's water system, to design the first comprehensive sewage system in the country. The system had to be built in the middle of the street because the water table was so close to the surface. The sewers were allowed to drain by gravity into the river. The new system created a drier and somewhat healthier Chicago, but the river and the city's drinking water became more polluted. So in 1864, Chesbrough headed the construction of an intake tunnel in the lake out of the way of mounting river pollution. However, the tunnel never worked right. Freshets and spring floods periodically drove sewage into the water system.(3)
Dr. John H. Rauch and other city health officials proposed the creation of anti-dumping laws with strict enforcement. However, city leaders were afraid that this would drive business out of the city. Instead, they chose to adopt Chesbrough's plan to reverse the river and send the sewage through a canal to the Illinois and Mississippi rivers where the water would dilute and deodorize it. The project was completed in July of 1871 and Chicago's waste became the problem of the smaller communities surrounding her. But, shortly after the project was completed, John Wentworth and William Ogden dug a ditch from the Des Plaines River to the Chicago River to drain some land that they owned. This caused sediment to wash into the canal. A year later, the current slowed and stopped.(4)
Then in the summer of 1879, the Des Plaines River flooded and forced the Chicago River back into the lake beyond the intake pipes. Chicago's citizens were forced to boil their drinking water. The problem occurred again in 1885 and set off outbreaks of typhoid, cholera and dysentery. Out of necessity, the state legislature created the Sanitary District of Chicago and gave it the power to tax and issue bonds to construct a new canal that ran parallel to the old one. The Chicago River was also deepened and widened. The new Ship and Sanitary Canal again reversed the river. However, this time it drew more water from the lake and had a stronger current. The water purified itself through oxidation and dilution by the time it reached Joliet.(5)
The shift from the filth theory of disease to germ theory began in the 1880s as French and German scientists began to demonstrate that germs were the real cause of disease. However, it was the turn-of-the-century before germ theory really began to take hold and campaign for personal hygiene began to appear. Charles V. Chapin, the health commissioner of Providence, Rhode Island, was one of the first people to acknowledge that contagious disease,
[s]pread more among filthy people just because such persons use very little soap and water and allow their faces, hands, belongings and dwellings to become and remain smeared with mucus, saliva, pus and other infectious material.(6)
A pure and ample water supply and personal hygiene were essential to preventing the spread of germs.
While the metropolises worked to clean themselves up, small towns and cities tried to grow. During the nineteenth century, it was a widely held belief that with enough capital, political manipulation, and human spirit any town could become a great metropolis. Towns promoted themselves relentlessly in the hopes that they would turn into a bustling center of commerce. If a town was lucky, its promoters might acquire the county seat, a hospital, college or some other public institution, or the railroad might come through. Any of these could ensure the survival of the town and increase its growth. As a result, fierce battles raged between towns for these institutions. Lobbying, pork-barreling, and local donations of land all helped to encourage the government or organizations to bestow these prizes on a town.(7)
The booster ethos that prevailed during the nineteenth century equated social unity with progress. The collective will or public spirit of the community as much as its geographic location and natural resources decided its fate. Factionalism or jealousy led to failure and ruined a town's chances for success. No one worked harder at town promotion than the editors of local papers. Newspapers were constantly expounding on the virtues of their town and praising the efforts of its citizens. They also pointed out the town's failure to promote itself. More importantly, the local papers worked to discredit their rivals and never failed to comment on their failures and misfortunes.
In 1894, Charleston experienced a surge of this booster ethos. The Charleston Plaindealer published a twenty-four-page souvenir edition on December 21, 1894, which detailed the advantages of the town and highlighted some of its more prominent businesses and citizens. Among the advantages listed were: location, climate, schools, churches, businesses, transportation facilities, modern houses, electric lights, water-works, and a fire department. The editors then went on to describe the accomplishments of the past year and concluded,
[s]ocially, religiously, municipally and commercially considered, the advancement has been steady and universal. Each of these branches of the municipal system are pushing vigorously and energetically forward.(8)
Charleston was a city on the move.
At the 1893-94 annual meeting of the State Teachers' Association in Springfield the need for more normal institutes in the state was discussed and a committee was appointed to see that the issue was brought before the state legislature. During the winter of 1894, bills for that purpose were introduced in the General Assembly. Coles County Superintendent of Schools, John L. Whisnand, actively worked to secure a school for eastern Illinois. In February 1895, Senator Isaac Craig of Mattoon and Representative W.H. Wallace of Humboldt introduced bills for the establishment of an Eastern Illinois State Normal School.(9)
At the time, Mattoon was generally considered the favorite. She was at the crossroads of the Illinois Central and Big Four railroads, which connected her to most of Illinois. As a result, the town's population had increased more rapidly than Charleston's. By 1890, it had a population of 7,000 compared to Charleston's 4,135.(10) Plus a politician from Mattoon had introduced the bill for the normal school. The increasing size of Mattoon and the chance at the normal school may have spurred some members of the town into action. As the county seat, Charleston wanted to appear progressive. Especially since plans for a new courthouse were being discussed and Mattoon hoped to have the county seat moved. Charleston did not want to loose the county seat.
Shortly after the bill was introduced in the legislature, the Charleston Scimitar in proper booster form suggested that Charleston would be missing an excellent opportunity if she did not enter the contest for the normal school. (It is likely that the other city papers were also promoting this course of action during the winter of 1894-95.) It wasn't, however, until April 19, 1895, that the citizens of Charleston made any move on the issue. At that time, a public meeting was held and a committee was appointed to go to Springfield and investigate the town's chances.
On May 22, 1895, Governor Altgeld signed Senate Bill No. 148, which allowed for the appointment of a board of trustees and the creation of an Eastern Illinois State Normal School. Under the provisions of the law, the donation of a site and "other valuable considerations" was required. The bill stipulated that the site should be "not less than forty acres of ground with a view of obtaining a good water supply and other conveniences for the use of the institution." It also stated that the building be "made fire-resisting, and so constructed as to be warmed in the most healthful and economical manner, with ample ventilation in all its parts."(11) Both of these statements reflect concerns that had developed in the nineteenth century in regards to public health and sanitation.
Obviously, the state legislature had learned from Chicago's problems with the public water supply. Otherwise, water would not have been a primary concern in the selection of a site for the normal school. The citizens of Charleston were well aware of the importance of an ample and pure water supply to the board of trustees. Several Charleston papers from the period make reference to Sec. 10 of the law, which required good, pure water. In fact, they emphasized the water supply when promoting Charleston. The board was given a demonstration of the power and effectiveness of the city's waterworks when it came to inspect potential sites for the school. Four streams of water were thrown from the corners of the square over the courthouse dome.(12)
The trustees came back for a second visit in July 1895. At that time, the normal school committee presented Charleston's offer. The offer stated that as long as the school was located within two miles of the courthouse, the citizens promised to donate forty acres of land to be selected from any of the sites shown to the board; donate from $35,000 to $45,000 depending on the value of the site selected; extend water mains to the site and supply the school with water for fifty years at five dollars a year; build a paved or gravel street from the courthouse to the school and provide sidewalks; provide free freight for construction materials; furnish incandescent electric lights to the school for twenty five years at the rate of ten cents per thousand watts and at half the regular rate for arch lights; and provide the school with various grades of coal for heating at fixed rates until July 1, 1901.(13) The selection of the location for the normal school seemed to hinge on the water question. The trustees took water samples from the different towns in the running for the normal school. Charleston had the best and the purest water according to the chemist that conducted the test.(14) The water supply probably helped put Charleston over the top because she offered $70,000 less than Danville and $40,000 less than Mattoon.(15)
Testimonials that appeared in the local papers after Charleston's victory support the importance of the water supply and a healthful site. As the Urbana Courier stated,
[a]n analysis of the water from the competing towns showed Charleston's to be the purest, and this, coupled with her unexcelled natural drainage, was undoubtedly the goose that laid the golden egg.(16)
The Announcement of the Eastern Illinois State Normal School (1899-1900) also supports this analysis. It reiterates the importance that the board of trustees placed on considerations of water and drainage in choosing a location for the school. It also states that impure water and imperfect drainage are prime factors of diseases, so provisions must be made to meet these needs especially when large numbers of people will be present.(17) The lessons of nineteenth-century Chicago were not lost on the legislature and the board of trustees.
As medical science demonstrated, disease was spread through germs and plenty of water for washing was needed to combat them. As a result, the board wanted not only a pure supply, but also an ample one. Charleston had both. The report went on to extol the city's water works and the fact that it had always provided a sufficient water supply even during dry seasons. Mattoon could not make the same claim. During 1895, the city's reservoir failed to maintain a sufficient supply of water. In fact, at the time of the trustees' visit to collect water samples, there was a drought and Charleston was furnishing part of Mattoon's water. The citizens of Charleston also helped their case by using water liberally to demonstrate the abundance of their water supply.(18)
The city of Charleston gave the board of trustees ten sites to choose from for the location of the school. The trustees examined the different sites when they visited Charleston in June of 1895. The sites were not equal in the eyes of the citizens of Charleston. If two of the sites were selected, the donation from the community would be $37,000 rather than $40,000. If two other sites were selected, the payment would only be $35,000.(19) Unfortunately, Coleman's book does not contain the map of the sites that went with the city's proposal and the original document has not been found, so it was impossible to determine exactly which sites these were. It is possible however, to reconstruct the ten sites and make some deductions as to why the present site was chosen.
Three of the sites were north of town. J.K. Decker owned two of these sites. One of them had a spring on it. A stream ran through the area and it was wooded. The third site was the Craig forty, which was a mile north of town. These three pieces of property were north and west of the Big Four and Clover Leaf Railroad tracks. According to the 1894 Charleston Plaindealer, this was the industrial section of Charleston. While the three sites may have been picturesque, they would have been subject to the noise, soot, and grime from the railroad and other industry. More importantly, placing the normal school north of town would not necessarily have brought the students into Charleston. The school was expected to bring several hundred students and visitors to Charleston. The businessmen of Charleston wanted these people to go through the business district and spend money. This was more likely to happen if the school was located south of the railroad.
The county fairground offered a nice setting with many large trees. It is unlikely, however, that the citizens of Charleston wanted to give up the fairground unless it was absolutely necessary. From the 1893 plat map, it also appears that the fairground was not 40 acres, which was one of the stipulations from the legislature.
Three more of the sites were on the eastern edge of Charleston. One of these was Trower Park at the end of Jackson Street. However, in examining the 1893 plat map, it also does not appear to be forty acres. The other two sites were the Dunbar forty and the Reat place across the road. These sites met the requirements stipulated in the enabling legislation. They would bring students and visitors through the business district of Charleston. However, there is nothing extraordinary about them.
The three remaining sites were all on the southern edge of town. They were the Wiley tract, the C.E. Bishop site and a piece of land belonging to Mr. Bishop and Monroe White at the foot of Tenth Street. A location at the southern edge of town removed the school from the dirt, grime, and heavy industry of Charleston, especially because the prevailing winds tend to come from the south and east. It also brought students and visitors through the business district and past the homes of the leading citizens of Charleston. This was important to the business and community leaders of Charleston as they wanted to be seen as a progressive and growing town. The Plaindealer made a point of describing Charleston as "[a] city of modern houses, exerting the best social and religious influences." It also mentioned the remodeling that had taken place in the business blocks of the city. The new buildings conformed to the styles of the day with plate glass front windows and a substantial appearance.(20) The business leaders also hoped to attract the business of the students and visitors passing through Charleston.
The C.E. Bishop site was the one eventually chosen by the Board of Trustees. It sat at the base of Sixth Street. It was a wooded area with a pond and was used by the town for picnicking. Interestingly enough, the Charleston Scimitar had suggested that this hill south of town would be an excellent site for the normal school in May of 1894.(21) Governor Altgeld described the virtues of the site in his speech at the laying of the cornerstone.
Neither geographical location nor other accidental circumstances has caused the concentration of great corporate wealth in our midst or promoted the building of mighty cities. On the other hand you have escaped the intensified form of vice, misery and disintegration of society that are peculiar to centers of population. Dollars may grow in cities but men grow nearer to nature . The nearer we get to nature the higher we rise in the conception of the world. Here is the place to found schools and academies.(22)
The picturesque surroundings fit in well with the idea that nature was a place for contemplation and thought. Nature also uplifted the spirit and improved the moral character of the individual. It stood in direct opposition to the inherent vice of cities. All of these characteristics were necessities for an institution of learning.
This particular location also allowed the community leaders to apply the tenets of the "White City," whether it was done consciously or unconsciously on a much smaller scale. The location of the normal school and the courthouse created the perfect vistas, especially since a new courthouse was going to be constructed. Each was to be constructed on a small hill. Running bewtween the square and the normal school site are Sixth and Seventh Street, which at this time were lined with the homes of many of the leading citizens of Charleston. The lots were large and the homes were a mix of late nineteenth century styles. All of the homes had barns and other outbuildings behind them. Large trees graced the area. While not lining the edge of the street as Olmsted and others proposed, they did shade the area and give it the aura of a parkway.
This central axis through Charleston resembles the central axis that Burnham and Root created at the World's Fair. The courthouse and the normal school replace the Administration building and the Peristyles. Sixth and Seventh Streets with their grand homes take the place of the buildings along the Court of Honor. The picturesque surroundings of the normal school and the homes also hint at the landscaping of the fairgrounds. The link between the civic and the cultural exemplified the order and harmony that the "White City" strove to create in an industrialized society. It was repeated in many city plans during this time, including Burnham's Plan for Chicago.
City plans that came out of the World's Fair also placed monumental structures at the entrances to the city. The location of the courthouse and the normal school serve that function in Charleston. The normal school building would have been an imposing sight for anyone entering Charleston on the road from Mattoon. The courthouse would create an equally imposing site to visitors that arrived by train and were brought by cab into town. While not Neoclassical, the Gothic style with Romanesque elements of the normal school building and the Romanesque style of the courthouse gave the vistas an overall sense of order and harmony.
The normal school arrived in Charleston as the result of the boosterism of its community leaders and of the public health concerns of the state legislature and the board of trustees. The site chosen by the board of trustees exemplified the picturesque qualities of nature that provide for contemplation and virtuous edification of the spirit. It also provided Charleston with a central axis that linked the school to the business center of town. Like many other projects throughout the nation, the changes in Charleston espoused the ideals set forth at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and demonstrated the progressive nature of the community.

Did SJP take a calculated fashion risk? Or are these shoes just a total miss?

You've talked about the companion characters quite a bit. Do they disappear when you're playing with other people? How do you prevent ending up playing with a small mob if you're playing with three friends?
James: You only ever have a single companion character at a given time. You may have collected more than one companion character but you can only have one with you. You can switch them out because the companion characters have different strength, weaknesses and personalities.
For example, you may have a whole bunch of companion characters, but only one companion character likes big guns. You may want to use him all the time. Or you may have a different companion character that you play with simply because you like their story and personality. Maybe you're pursuing a romance with your companion character. Or perhaps a different companion character has really compelling quests that you want to participate in.

Call her the cupid of counterprogramming. In the event of a major sports broadcast, count on romance novelist Danielle Steel to shoot down the jocks' ratings. Last fall, NBC's programming maestro Brandon Tartikoff, in an obvious ploy to attract female viewers fed up with having sports nuts as significant others, put two Steel adaptations (Kaleidoscope and Fine Things) up against Monday Night Football and the first game of the World Series. In besting the NFL and finishing a close second to the Series, they scored a combined audience of 52 million viewers and were among the year's top five TV movies. Her latest on-air conquest: the April 1 NCAA basketball championship. NBC's version of Steel's 1983 best-seller, Changes, came closer than Kansas did (within two Nielsen rating points) to outplaying the Duke Blue Devils on CBS.
Ready to take on tennis, golf, tractor pulls anything the competition's got Steel, 43, sits at home in San Francisco, busily pecking out her latest work on a 1948 Olympia typewriter. It is just such diligence that has earned her a 381-week stay (and a place in the Guinness Book of World Records) atop the New York Times best-seller list, an annual income estimated at $25 million, and, not coincidentally, a fan in Tartikoff. He's just bought two more Steel books, Palomino and Daddy. (Watch out, Super Bowl.)
Even with her popular, forest-razing works (more than 150 million copies of 27 best-sellers in print) moving successfully from page to TV, Steel claims no magic formula. Her simple recipe: ''The characters are very real. The stories are believable they touch the heart.'' And though she doesn't watch much on the tube herself, Steel says she's happy with the NBC movies. ''I'm not one of those writers who's uptight about my words being put on the screen 'Oh, my God, they cut this scene or they changed that.'''
The creator of some of today's most glamorous protagonists insists her own image is quite different. In the middle of packing for a move, Steel says, ''I'm filthy dirty from moving boxes, I'm wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, and my hair is sticking straight out of my head in a ponytail. The reality is, I've got my sleeves rolled up and my nose to the grindstone most of the time.'' To turn out a new novel every nine months, Steel puts in 20-hour days, devoted first to her children (she has nine, including two stepkids six under age 12) and then, from 7:30 p.m. to 3 a.m., to her writing. ''They've had me all day, so by then, I figure it's my time,'' she says. ''Still, I leave my typewriter, pucker up, and go kiss everybody good night.''
Steel's own life would make for a great page-turner. The only child of divorced parents, she was married at 17 and divorced twice before meeting her current husband, shipping consultant John Traina. An autobiography is not in the works, but if it were, what actress would she like to portray her? ''Probably Sally Field. She's small and she doesn't look that unlike me, and she always plays real down-to-earth people with a lot of feeling.'' Finding an actor as ''unbelievable'' as her husband might be tougher. Traina, 13 years her senior, serves as Steel's sounding board and business manager. ''I was very lucky,'' she says. ''After 15 years, I look at him and think, 'Oh, my God, he's so nice and so there and so helpful.''' Sounds like a match made in pop-literary heaven.
