|Senior Julie Krommenhoek averaged over 17 points per game for Utah last season.
A QUICK LOOK AT UTAH: The Utes will be gunning for their fourth Western Athletic Conference championship of some form in as many years and its fourth-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance this season. Utah won the WAC Tournament in '95 and took the WAC regular-season championship in 1995-96. The Utes return 10 of 14 letterwinners from last year's team that went 25-6 overall, advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history and won the WAC Mountain Division title by four games with a 15-1 record.
FROM THE TRAINING ROOM: Lori Red has achilles tendonitis and her status for Saturday's game is unknown. Kristina Anderson is suffering from stress fractures in both tibias. Her participation in practice has been limited and she is questionable for Saturday's game.
COMING UP: Utah plays its final exhibition game of the season against Spartak-Moscow on Nov. 14 at 5:15 p.m. in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. The Utes open the regular season at Weber State on Nov. 21 at 5:30 p.m. Utah's home opener is on Nov. 28 against UC Irvine at 7:00 p.m.
WAC'S TOP TEAM: Utah begins its 24th season as the most successful program in the history of the Western Athletic Conference. The U.'s 467-191 (.709) overall record, 76-22 (.776) mark in league games and eight NCAA Tournament appearances are all top marks in the WAC. Utah's two conference championships, including the 1997 Mountain Division title, rank second to San Diego State's three WAC titles.
EUROPEAN VACATION: Utah got a head start on the 1997-98 season by playing five games against European professional teams during a 10-day trip to France and Switzerland last summer. The Utes went 4-1 on the tour. The team left for France on Aug. 15, spent the first four days in Paris, toured Switzerland for three days and went to Nice, France, for the last three days of the trip before returning home on Sept. 5. Senior Julie Krommenhoek averaged 18 points a game to lead the team in scoring. Sophomore 6-2 center Kristi Rose averaged 15 points and 15 rebounds a game.
|Alli Bills led the nation in assists last year.
1997-98 OUTLOOK: Two outstanding senior starters come back to lead the Utes. Julie Krommenhoek (17.4 ppg, 2.6 apg), a 5-9 guard from American Fork, Utah, was an honorable mention Kodak All-American and the WAC's fourth-leading scorer last season. Alli Bills (8.4 ppg, 7.6 apg), a 5-7 guard from Sandy, Utah, led the nation in assists last year and was named to the WAC Mountain Division all-defensive team.
Five key reserves from last season will contend for starting positions in the frontcourt. Senior 6-2 forward/center Laura Ross Allen (4.1 ppg, 2.8 rpg) started the first five contests at center, played in 26 games and scored in double figures four times last season. Kristi Rose (2.9 ppg, 1.1 bpg), a 6-4 sophomore center, ranked third in the WAC and recorded the eighth-most blocked shots in a single season (34) at Utah. Rose scored in double figures twice, and set Utah and WAC (league games only) records with nine blocked shots against Colorado State on Feb. 8. Sophomore 5-11 forward Lori Red (2.5 ppg, 1.8 rpg) played in all 31 games at small forward and was splitting the time with senior starter Lisa Thueson early in the season. Senior 6-0 forward Angie Thill (2.0 ppg, 2.1 rpg) saw her playing time increase off the bench late in the season and had four boards or more in seven games. Senior Amy Alcorn (1.9 ppg, 0.8 rpg) was set back early last season after missing the first nine games with a stress fracture, but could see significant playing time at the two or three position this season.
Sophomore 5-3 guard Tiana Fuertes (1.4 ppg, 1.9 apg) started three games at point guard last season while Bills was injured and averaged 13.7 minutes a game in 30 contests. Sophomore 5-10 guard Janna Whitman (1.1 ppg, 0.4 rpg) and junior 5-9 guard Rosie Shelley (1.0 ppg, 1.0 rpg) will provide depth in the guard court.
THE NEWCOMERS: The Utes welcome three freshmen to the team this season and gain the talents of sophomore guard ReShawnda Richardson, who sat out last season as a partial qualifier under NCAA admissions standards. The rookies are Kristina Anderson, a 6-0 forward from Marist High School in Eugene, Ore., Amy Ewert, a 6-0 forward/guard from Kitsilano High School in Vancouver, B.C., and Lindsay Sodja, a 6-1 forward from Taylorsville, Utah.
Anderson, a USA Today All-American in 1996, is a two-time first-team all-state selection and 3A Player of the Year in Oregon. Anderson led Marist to its second-consecutive state championship in 1997 with a 27-3 record and was named to the all-tournament team. She averaged a team-best 18 points and 10 rebounds a game, and shot 31 percent from three-point range and 78 percent from the free-throw line. Ewert is the first Canadian to play for the Utes. She scored 20.2 points and pulled down 10.6 rebounds a game to earn first-team all-star and league MVP honors during the 1995-96 season. Sodja was a three-time first-team all-state and region honoree, and named the Region 3 Player of the Year in '96. Sodja averaged 21.0 points, six rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks per game last season. Richardson is a native of Long Beach, Calif., who was able to practice with the team all of last season.
|Kristi Rose returns as Utah's top shot blocker.
STATISTICALLY SPEAKING: Utah returns 56.7 percent of its points from last season, including two of the top four scorers in Julie Krommenhoek (17.4 ppg) and Alli Bills (8.4 ppg). The loss of the starting frontcourt in center Sara Works (10.2 ppg, 5.2 rpg) and forwards Hilary King-Noel (11.0 ppg, 7.5 rpg) and Lisa Thueson (7.2 ppg, 4.1 rpg) is evident in Utah bringing back just 44.8 percent of its rebounds from '96-97. The Utes retain 79.0 percent of their assists from last year, with all three of the top assist getters returning in Bills (7.6 apg), Krommenhoek (2.6 apg) and Tiana Fuertes (1.9 apg). The team also keeps 98.0 percent of its three-point shots and 71.0 percent of its steals from a year ago, with Krommenhoek and Bills the top two in both categories. Krommenhoek averaged 2.4 steals and 3.3 three-pointers per game, and shot 44.2 percent from behind the arc. Bills shot 30.8 percent from downtown and averaged 2.6 steals. Utah brings back 56.5 percent of its blocked shots, retuning the top shot blocker in Kristi Rose (1.1 bpg), but loses its second-best shot blockers (0.5 bpg) in King-Noel and Works.
HEAD COACH ELAINE ELLIOTT... is the winningest coach in Utah women's basketball history. Elliott, entering her 15th season as Utah's head coach after spending four years as an assistant coach at the U., will be aiming for her 300th career victory this season. She enters the campaign with a 281-127 career record and a 138-38 mark in conference games. Her number of career wins and winning percentage (.689) is the best of any coach in the Western Athletic Conference. Her coaching tenure is also the longest among the league coaches. She has had nine 20-win seasons and three 19-win campaigns, averaging 20 wins in the 14 previous years at the U. Elliott was named the WAC Mountain Division Coach of the Year last season after guiding Utah to the Mountain Division title. Utah won the WAC regular-season title under Elliott in 1995-96 and the WAC Tournament championship in 1995. Elliott has coached teams to a total of four regular-season conference crowns (1986, 87, 89, 96), one divisional title (1997) and four league tournament championships (1989, 90, 91, 94). Seven of her teams have advanced to the NCAA Tournament (1986, 89, 90, 91, 95, 96, 97).
KROMMENHOEK GUNNING FOR UTAH AND WAC CAREER SCORING MARKS: Senior guard Julie Krommenhoek has already established herself as one of the most prolific shooters in the history of the Utah program and the Western Athletic Conference. Entering the 1997-98 season with 1,542 points, Krommenhoek ranks fourth in career scoring at Utah and needs 533 points this season to take over the career scoring mark. She also ranks fifth in the WAC in career scoring, needing 307 points to claim the top spot.
Krommenhoek already tops the Utah and WAC career charts for three-point field goals made (256) and attempted (594), and owns the top three single-season marks in both three-point categories. She set school and conference single-season records last season with 103 three-pointers made and 233 attempted.
KROMMENHOEK SHOOTING FOR ALL-AMERICA HONORS ONCE AGAIN: Julie Krommenhoek, a Kodak honorable mention All-American the past two seasons and a District VII All-American in '94-95, figures to be one of the top shooters in the country once again in '97-98. Last season, Krommenhoek ranked second in the nation with a career-best average of 3.3 three-pointers per game and fourth in three-point field goal percentage (44.2), leading the Western Athletic Conference in both categories. She was also 18th in the NCAA and third in the WAC free throw percentage (84.3). A three-time first-team all-WAC selection, Krommenhoek is the conference's fourth-best returning scorer (17.4 ppg). Last season, the American Fork, Utah, native ranked ninth in the conference in field goal percentage (42.7) and 10th in steals (2.4) overall. She scored 18.4 points a game in league games to rank third.
Krommenhoek, who has been named to the WAC all-tournament team each of the past three seasons, scored 20 points or more 11 times last season, including a career-best 35 against Rice on Jan. 23. Also against the Owls, she tied her own school record with seven three-pointers (in 11 attempts). In the process of scoring 24 points against Oregon in the championship game of the Pepsi Shootout in Eugene, Ore., on Nov. 30, 1996, Krommenhoek broke her own Utah and WAC all-time records with 17 three-point field goal attempts. Her previous best mark was 16 three-point attempts against Southern Mississippi on March 16, 1996. Also last season, Krommenhoek posted her first career double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds against Southern California on Dec. 14, 1996.
BILLS IN PURSUIT OF UTAH AND WAC CAREER ASSISTS RECORDS: Senior point guard Alli Bills ranked first in the nation with 7.6 assists per game last season, recording a school record 213 on the season. That brings her career total to 400 in essentially two and one-third seasons of playing time. Bills missed the last 20 games of her sophomore season due to a torn ACL in her right knee.
Bills enters the 1997-98 season in fourth place in career assists at the U., needing just 41 more to take over first place from Karen Alcorn (1988-92). Bills also owns two of the top three single-season assists totals in school history, dishing out 160 assists, the third-most in the Utah record books, as a freshman in 1994-95. Bills also ranks fourth in career assists in the WAC, needing 124 this season to take over the top spot from Dee Dee Dominguez of Colorado State (1993-96).
MORE ON BILLS: Judging by her play, one would never guess that Alli Bills had undergone two ACL operations prior to last season. Look at her stats, and it is clearly apparent that Bills played the best basketball of her career in 1996-97.
Bills, who was named to the Western Athletic Conference all-defensive team, posted 10 assists or more seven times last season. She dished out a career-best 14 assists against SMU on March 7 in the semifinals of the WAC Tournament. Bills also scored in double figures 11 times in '96-97. Bills had her first career triple-double against Colorado State on Feb. 26, with 13 points, a career-best 14 rebounds and 10 assists. She also posted her first two career double-doubles last season, getting 13 points and 10 assists against Brigham Young on Feb. 6, and 10 points and 11 assists against SMU on Feb. 13. She matched a career-best with 23 points against SMU on Jan. 18.
THE SCHEDULE: Utah's 1997-98 regular-season schedule features 11 homes games and two potential match-ups against NCAA Tournament teams from last year.
Once again, Utah will be aligned in the Mountain Division of the 16-team Western Athletic Conference with Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, New Mexico, UNLV, UTEP and Wyoming. Utah will face each of the teams in the Mountain Division home and away, and have two cross-over games with Rice of the Pacific Division. The Utes' games with Rice will not count in the league standings. The WAC season concludes with the conference tournament, March 2-7 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev.
Montana, which will host Utah on Dec. 13 at 7:00 p.m. in Missoula, Mont., earned a ninth seed in the NCAA West Region last season with a 25-3 record. The Utes' second date with an NCAA Tournament team could come against Kansas State on Dec. 6. Both teams are competing in the Kansas State Tournament, and would need to win their first round games the preceding night to meet in the championship game. Kansas State was a 10th seed in the East Region with a 19-11 mark last year.
LAST YEAR'S TEAM ONE OF THE BEST ALL-TIME: Posting a 25-6 record, Utah finished the 1996-97 season with an .806 winning percentage, which was the best season winning percentage in the 14-year tenure of head coach Elaine Elliott. The Utes' pervious best record under Elliott was a 24-6 mark (.800) posted in 1988-89. Finishing the WAC season with a 15-1 record, Utah's .938 league winning percentage ranked as the second-best in the 23-year history of Utah women's basketball and the best under Elliott. The only conference record bettering that of the '96-97 Utes is the 13-0 mark posted by Fern Gardner's '76-77 team, which won the Intermountain Athletic Conference title.
UTAH IN THE NCAA RANKINGS LAST YEAR: Utah ranked 17th in the nation in scoring defense in 1996-97. The Utes gave up an average of just 57.9 points a game, and held five opponents to under 50 points. Utah's defense gave up more than 80 points on only one occasion, surrendering 81 in a loss to Southern California on Dec. 14. Utah also limited opponents to 38.7 percent field goal shooting on the season. Utah held the opposition to under 40 percent field goal shooting in 19 games, including the first nine games of the Western Athletic Conference season. The Utes also ranked 17th in the nation with a .806 winning percentage, the best of any team in the WAC.
MILESTONE STREAKS FOR '96-97 UTES: With the Utes' loss to Colorado State on Feb. 8, three monumental winning streaks came to an end. Utah's third-best in the nation homecourt winning streak ceased at 28 games. It was the first home loss since Utah fell to San Diego State (70-55) on Jan. 12, 1995. Since then, the U. had also won 16 straight home conference games. The string of home wins went into the books second-best to Utah's all-time best home game winning streak of 37 games from Jan. 30, 1976 through Feb. 3, 1979. Utah finished the season with a 12-1 home record, and has won 30 of the last 31 contests played in the Huntsman Center.
Utah had also won 12-consecutive games prior to the loss to Colorado State, which tied the third-longest winning streak in school history. The Utes also had 12-consecutive wins from Jan. 20, 1989 (U.S International, 67-64) through March 3, 1989 (Colorado State, 74-68).
At 10-0, Utah was off to its best start ever in Western Athletic Conference play in '96-97. The Utes had also equalled their all-time best start to the conference schedule. Utah won its first 10 games (finishing 10-2) in 1986-87 in the High Country Athletic Conference (HCAC).
UTES THIRD IN THE WAC IN ATTENDANCE: Utah averaged 1,417 fans over 13 home games to rank third in the Western Athletic Conference in attendance in 1996-97. New Mexico was first in the WAC attendance race with an average of 4,863 in 13 games and Colorado State second with 1,719 in 11 home dates. The Utah/BYU game on Jan. 10 drew 8,031 fans, the second-largest crowd ever to attend a Utah home game and the seventh-largest in WAC history. The Utes' largest crowd for a home contest was on Feb. 26, 1993, when 12,187 turned out to see the Utes and Cougars. That attendance figure was the WAC single-game record until New Mexico drew 17,213 fans for its game with Utah in The Pit on Jan. 4, 1997.

Organic Mattress and BeddingNavigation
Want a Cleaner Bedroom? Make it Naked. Industrial chemicals are everywhere; in our business workplace, shopping centers, park benches, and especially in our homes. In fact, indoor air pollution is now rated worse than outdoors. Since the 1950′s our dependency on...Read More
natural latex, pure wool, organic cotton
Remember the good old days when things actually lasted? There's a good chance you still have great-grandma's wooden dresser and perhaps even her heirloom quilt made from 100% cotton. Pure Wool, organic cotton, flax linen, natural latex rubber, java silk kapok, buckwheat hulls… these are just a few of the beautiful ingredients from nature that also provide quality organic mattress and organic bedding materials. Just like old-fashioned ingredients that have passed the test of time, you'll find in many cases that manufacturers of organic bedding also use the old-fashioned method to make their products, hand-crafted one at a time using only the finest natural and organic materials. Natural materials breathe – just like we do – so they're the perfect choice for bedding. We lose a pint of moisture every night and ideally we should be surrounded by materials that offer the breathability to dissipate that moisture and keep our sleep system clean and fresh. Natural materials provide that benefit.
Natural latex rubber mattresses create an ideal sleep system that reacts to your body with dynamic distribution of weight. They feature instant recovery bounce-back, and offer superior support where you need it, while gently yielding softness to other areas of the body. Pure natural latex does not have harmful chemicals – it is moisture regulating so you won't "sleep hot." The surface comfort provides proper spinal alignment yet delivers the perfect balance of pressure-point relief… and it's environmentally-safe. Derived naturally from the rubber tree, the milky sap is made into a wonderful natural foam product that's know to last for decades with proper care. There is no better mattress component for support, durability, comfort and health than natural latex. It's usually more expensive than conventional foams and springs but will pay for itself many times over its lifetime, so in the long run it's actually more cost effective and a very economical choice for the investment of quality sleep. Better manufacturers always include natural latex instead of conventional foams.
Certified Organic Cotton is the absolute most pure form of cotton available today. It contains no pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers during its cultivation and has no added chemicals or preservatives (such as formaldehyde) in the processing. It's a premium cotton that's pure and clean – soft and beautiful. Often times, people with skin allergies do better with organic cotton because of its purity. Look for organic cotton certified by a reputable third-party such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). Also to be certain the content is 100% find out if the organic cotton is blended with any polyester synthetic fibers, which unfortunately is very common in mattress fabrics claiming they are organic cotton. Sheets made from 100% organic cotton aren't treated with chemicals so they do have a tendency to wrinkle which we think is reminiscent of a lovely natural linen, and there aren't any treatments to make them shiny like satin either. You'll find they're simply soft with a gentle smoothness.

I am running some unit tests on my code, and for this I had to download the selenium server. Now, one of the examples selenium includes is called GoogleTest. I had this copied to my C:\ folder, and tried to run it.
At first, i had an error trying to open firefox. Seems that selenium hasn't been updated for quite some time, since it supports up till Firefox version 3.5. Found this helpful blog that helped me (changing 3.5.* for 7.0.*).
Now, I have a new problem. It seems selenium hasn't updated its docs either, and the GoogleTest hangs when executed (this post explains why). When using AJAX type operations, the operation waitForPageToLoad hangs.
Now, I need an equivalent to this operation but when dealing with AJAX operations.. anybody knows of an alternative? Thanks

State of the Industry: Labels, Digital Printing Making Significant Inroads
Global label production was 146.9 billion sq. ft. in 2012, with North America representing 22 percent of this volume. Global volume is projected to grow at an average annual compound rate of 3.4 percent from 2012 to 2016 (see Table 1 in the photo tab to the right). While conventional print, led by flexo, will continue to dominate, the greatest growth in label printing will be in digital printing, which is growing at 27 percent per year.
The greatest growth is in the Asia/Pacific region, which grew at more than 6 percent in 2012, while the slowest growth is in Europe, which grew less than one percent in 2012. North American growth was just over 2 percent (See Figure 1 in the photo tab to the right).
Corey Reardon, president and CEO at AWA Alexander Watson Associates, notes that growth in labels has been constrained by alternatives such as flexible packaging (which is replacing rigid packaging), as well as direct printing on rigid packaging. Indeed, flexible packaging is growing faster than either labels or rigid packaging and "the impact of direct inkjet printing is significant," says Reardon.
Labels are available using a variety of substrates, including coated and uncoated paper, metallized paper, metallized or opaque films such as biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) or polyolefins, and pressure-sensitive (ps) media from companies such as MACtac, UPM Raflatac, and Avery Dennison. Labels include ps, sleeves and wraps, in-mold, and glue-applied (cut-and-stack). Wraps and sleeves represent two of the fastest growing segments.
Consolidation continues to be a major factor in label printing. In 2012, Multi-Color Corp. acquired Labelgraphics of Scotland and in 2011 acquired York Label Group in the U.S., plus other printers in Italy, Poland, and China. Similarly, CCL Labels made numerous acquisitions in 2011 and 2012, and most recently announced the acquisition of Avery Dennison's office and consumer label business, plus an Avery Dennison unit that provides designed and engineered solutions. The $910 million deal will push CCL annual revenue above $2 billion and is expected to close during the third quarter of 2013.

This article will dispel your doubts concerning the difference between EF3 and EF4 framework.
Take a look on the comparison of the most important features of both frameworks.
One of the key differentiating points of Joomla is it's extensive language control and the ability to create multi-lingual websites.
New feature implemented in Joomla 3.x (and since 2.5.6) is the fact that the Extensions Manager now proposes a new tab: Install Languages, where you can find all 3.x compatible language packs and install them directly from Joomla back-end.
In this tutorial I'll show you how to install and change your site language in Joomla 3.
You may not know that Joomla 3.x has quite interesting features related to the site configuration at the template front-end.
Who said Joomla template must be the same on every page?
Not Joomla! CMS, that's for sure! You can use one template with different properties to chosen (sub)pages provided that your Joomla 3.x template includes configuration options which allow to create multiple different styles of a template with variations of these options.
After clean Joomla or quickstart installation there may occur that subpages don't work properly and you keep getting "no input file specified" or "404 - component not found" error messages on front-end while navigating a menu.
This issue is related to the server configuration and has nothing to do with Joomla 3.x/2.5 or quickstart package.
While administrating Joomla! you may come across quite a common issue.
After adding a custom HTML code in an article or a module, you may find out the HTML code is stripped out from some keay HTML tags once you saved the module/article.
Especially, this issue applies to scripts (e.g. if you try to add Google Adsense on your website) or iframe and embed tags (e.g. if you try to add YouTube or Flash video).
We receive a lot of questions about language translations for Joomla 3.x & 2.5.
Joomla users simply have problems to find the correct language pack with Joomla translation files.
So far, you had to download the appropriate Joomla language package from Joomla! Community Portal or on local websites dedicated to Joomla! and then install it using the Extension Manager.
Now it's much quicker and simpler :)
Many customers ask as how to configure the search module to display search results on completely different page than the search module is assigned to.
Why is it a problem?
If you see a padlock next to content items - for example article title, menu items or any modules at Joomla! administrative backend, it means that other user is currently editing the item. There are few ways to get rid of locks.
If you need to add a new module with your own text or image, you need to create Custom HTML module using WYSIWYG editor.
We provide many examples of custom code with our templates, just follow Typography article to check how you can diversify the way of placing the content on your site.
The configuration of a single contact may seem to be a little bit complicated since there are plenty parameters to configure but if you take a closer look at all of them, you will find it quite simple.
Many hosting providers offer auto installers (e.g. Fantastico, Softaculous) for Joomla installation via server cpanel. It may be confusing for many customers who would like to install a demo copy (Quickstart) of purchased template.
Since quickstart is a demo copy it means that the package already includes Joomla so it's impossible to install Quickstart via Extension Manager as many customers try to do it in this way.
It's very easy to change but the problem is that you have to know where to look for the correct parameter :)
Have no idea what module positions your J3.0 template includes? Can't find the template's documentation and you're getting more and more frustrated with it? :) Here's the solution!
Would you like to create your own menu and then display items horizontaly (for example at the top of the site) or verticaly (for example in the right column)?
This article explains how to do it step by step.
Would you like to divide one template position into many columns? It's not all, each column can be as wide as you wish!
You will be able to do it with bootstrap size option. Let's check it.
Joomla 3.0 installation is easier than for the previous Joomla versions. You may find the installation process much friendly - since it's completely reorganized to make it more simply and intuitive accroding to the idea of the optimized user experience (UX).
Joomla 3.0 stable version is going to be released in the end of September but it's worth to learn the roadmap for development of Joomla 3.0 before making decision about upgrading.

Faculty Handbook
for Using the CSU Library
Revised January 31, 2007
Mission statement and goals
The purpose of the L. Mendel Rivers Library is to support the mission of Charleston Southern University by providing students and faculty with bibliographic, physical, and intellectual access to recorded knowledge and information. The primary responsibility of the library is to support the instructional program of the University through information literacy training and by acquiring, organizing and providing access to appropriate information resources.
The Library's goals are posted on the Library Infomation webpage.
Return to Top
Library hours
The CSU Library's hours are posted on the Library's Home Page. The library is closed for holidays, during Convocations, and between semesters.
Checking out library materials
Faculty members are asked to present their faculty ID cards when checking out library materials. Adjunct faculty who do not have CSU ID cards will be required to present identification, such as a valid driver's license, and their current employment by the university will be verified against online approved borrower records.
Please, do not allow anyone to check out library materials in your name. If you must send a staff member, student worker, spouse, or child to check out materials for you, you must send written permission with your ID card.
The CSU Library is a member of the Charleston Area Library Consortium (CALC), which includes the libraries at The Citadel, College of Charleston, Medical University of South Carolina, Trident Technical College, and Charleston County Library. CSU is also a member of the Partnership Among South Carolina Academic Libraries (PASCAL), which includes most of the academic libraries in South Carolina. Under reciprocal borrowing agreements with both groups, CSU faculty may check out books from any of the academic libraries by presenting their CSU ID cards.
Loan policies
Circulating Books
Library books will be checked out to faculty members for one semester. If another CSU borrower needs a book that has been checked out to a faculty member for an extended period of time, the faculty member will be notified and asked to return the book as soon as possible. Overdue reminders will be sent, but fines will not be charged.
Checked out items should be returned at the end of each semester, but all library materials must be returned each year before the end of May. See Accounting for Checkouts.
The two most recent issues of each periodical will remain in the library for browsing purposes, but faculty members may check out earlier issues of periodicals for two weeks. The maximum number of periodical issues that a faculty member may have checked out is five. Faculty members are encouraged to make photocopies of articles needed for future reference and to return periodicals as soon as possible. Newspapers do not circulate.
Government Documents
Government publications, with the exception of those designated "Reference," may be checked out to faculty for one month, with one additional renewal period available.
Accounting for check-outs and payment for lost items
All library materials checked out to faculty must be returned before the academic year ends in May. A list of outstanding checkouts will be sent to each faculty member to assist in the location and return of these materials.
Payment for lost or damaged items must also be made before the end of May. Faculty paychecks may be held until payment is received.
Reserve book service
Faculty members wishing to provide their students with required or suggested readings in addition to textbook materials are invited to use the library's Reserve service. The selection of titles to be put on reserve is the responsibility of the faculty member teaching the course.
Reserve procedure
Faculty use of copy machines
Faculty members may charge photocopies or microform copies to their departments:
Collection development and acquisition of library resources
Faculty members are encouraged to actively participate in recommending library resources to support their department's curriculum. All resources ordered by the library become part of the library's collection and property of the library. Responsibility for coordinating the collection, aiding the faculty with bibliographic assistance, making decisions as to the format, degree of completeness, and number of copies of materials to be acquired rests with the librarians. When questions arise, the Director of the Library makes final decisions in consultation with appropriate faculty members.
Library liaisons
Each academic department has been assigned a librarian to serve as a liaison with the library and to aid in collection development:
Send publisher information (brochures, flyers, reviews, etc.) to the Acquisitions Librarian or the library liaison for your department with a signed note of recommendation. Brochures should include complete bibliographic information and price. If you prefer, you may use the online Recommendation for Library Purchase form.
Please prioritize requests as described below. Requests will be honored based on priority status and availability of funds. Please note that all periodical requests must be made by April 30.
Priorities and selection criteria
Foreign language materials
With the exception of materials acquired primarily for use by students and faculty in the Foreign Language Department, books and materials printed in languages other than English will not be acquired.
Out of print books
If a requested book is out of print, the request will be returned for reevaluation. Every effort will be made to locate such books determined to be essential, with the understanding that this may take a considerable amount of time.
Additions to the periodical holdings will be made based on the above priorities PLUS the following:
Gift books
Please, do not accept gift books or other materials for the library. Refer prospective donors to the Director of the Library.
The library is frequently offered books and other materials as gifts. Although many excellent materials have been added to the collection as gifts, much of what is offered is of no value to the academic library. Because this can often lead to public relations concerns, the library has the following policy on gifts:
Reference services
Reference Librarians serve as interpreters of resources and reference literature. Their purpose is to:
The Ready Reference shelves contain books useful for fast retrieval of information, primarily on biographical and literary topics.
Computerized databases and equipment for reading and copying microfilm and microfiche are located near the Reference Desk. A reference librarian or staff member is available for assistance in accessing computers and in developing search strategies.
Library instruction for classes
Faculty members may request library instruction for a specific class. Instruction takes place in the library's BILT Center on the second floor.
Interlibrary loan and courier services
Faculty members needing research materials, books, or periodical articles not owned by CSU Library may use InterLibrary Loan services. The procedure for requesting materials from other libraries is detailed on the Library's InterLibrary Loan webpage. Note that if the book is available from another academic library in South Carolina, the request can be expedited if the faculty member places the request themselves online using the PASCAL Delivers system.
All requests for journal articles, and for books not available from an academic library in South Carolina, will be placed by the CSU ILL staff using the OCLC InterLibrary Loan service. For these items, either fill out a form available at the Library's Reference Desk, or download the form from the Library's InterLibrary Loan webpage. Completed forms may either be turned in to the Library's Reference Desk or emailed as an attachment to email@example.com
NOTE: Most libraries do not lend complete issues of periodicals. However, photocopies of articles or portions of books may be requested. There is no charge for books borrowed via PASCAL Delivers. Charges for books or journal articles requested from OCLC ILL depend on the lending library. While some libraries on OCLC will lend materials at no charge, others may charge significant fees per item. The CSU ILL staff will make every attempt to request the item from a library which charges nothing or the lowest possible fee, and the CSU Library will cover up to $5.00 per request. The ILL request form has a place where you may indicate the maximum that you are willing to spend for each request if the fee exceeds $5.00.
Books requested via PASCAL Delivers will normally be delivered to the CSU Library within 2-4 business days. Books requested via OCLC InterLibrary Loan will take anywhere from one to several weeks to be delivered to the CSU Library. Journal articles requested via OCLC InterLibrary Loan may take several days to a week or more.
For more information, see the Library's Questions About InterLibrary Loan (ILL) webpage.
The periodical collection is made up of current print issues, bound volumes, and microforms (microfilm and microfiche) of professional journals and popular magazines, newspapers, and indexes and abstracts. Many journals are also available in electronic format. Most of the journal indexes are available online and the library subscribes to a wide variety of electronic full-text databases.
New title subscriptions are placed during the summer to begin the following January or with the first issue published in the new calendar year. Each Spring semester, faculty members are given the opportunity to make suggestions regarding the periodicals collection by recommending new titles or requesting the cancellation of current titles. Journals available in the CSU Library in print or microform format are listed in the Library's online catalog and on the Journals by Title webpage.
Many periodicals are also available in full text in one or more of the Library's subscription databases. Click on the Journals by Title link on the Library's Databases webpage for a listing of these titles.
Periodicals available in print or microform format are shelved alphabetically by title. The two most recent issues are kept on the New Periodicals shelves at the front of the Reference Reading Room. Back issues are shelved in the Periodicals stacks at the rear of the Reference Reading Room. Paper, microfilm, and bound volumes are shelved together, except for newspapers. Recent newspaper issues are shelved in the New Periodicals section, but newspaper microfilm is located in microform cabinets near the microform reader/printer machines. Most paper abstract volumes have been transferred to storage in the library basement.
Electronic services
Online public access catalog
Computers in the library lobby, reference area, at the top of the stairs on the second floor, and in the BILT Center provide access to the online catalog for the library's book and audiovisual collections. The online catalog may be accessed by clicking on the Catalog link on the Library's webpage. Links to the catalogs of other Charleston area libraries are also available on the CSU Library's Catalog webpage.
Library web page
The library maintains a webpage at http://www.csuniv.edu/library/index.html which presents information about the library and provides access to a growing variety of online resources.
Online resources
The library provides many resources via the Internet including periodicals indexes, full text periodicals, and electronic books. Online resources are available from any on-campus networked computer and by password from off-campus by clicking on the Find Journal Articles link on the library's webpage.
Off-campus access
Faculty members who desire to access the library's online subscription databases from their home computers may do so by going to the Library's Databases webpage and selecting the desired resource from the list. When prompted for a username, type in your campus e-mail username (e.g. skjones). At the password prompt, type in your campus e-mail password in all capital letters. If you prefer, you may also use your first initial+lastname (e.g. sjones) and your faculty ID number. For more information, see the Libray's Off Campus Access webpage. Anyone experiencing difficulties in connecting to these resources may contact the Systems Librarian at firstname.lastname@example.com or (843) 863-7951.
Several U.S. Government databases are available by password, but they must be accessed in the library and logged in by a librarian.
The library also holds numerous government-produced CD-ROM resources, including Census, World Factbook, and County Business Patterns.
U.S. Government documents
The CSU Library is a selective U.S. Government Depository and holds over 100,000 documents on widely varying subjects. Many of these have been cataloged and are listed in the Library's online catalog. Most are housed in the Government Documents Room in the basement level of the library. This room may be opened for browsing during regular hours, 8:00am - 5:00pm, Monday through Friday. Library Reference staff will be glad to retrieve publications and bring them upstairs for you for use after hours and on weekends. Document requests may be made at the Reference Desk. You may also telephone the Reference Desk at (843) 863-7946 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Catalog of U.S. Government Publications is available online from 1994 to the present through the Library's Federal Government Documents webpage, on CD-ROM from 1976-1993, and in paper copy from 1908 through 1975. It indexes references to reports and hearings of Congressional committees, debates and records, reports of Supreme Court decisions and other federal courts, and publications produced by various government agencies, such as the Departments of Defense, State, and Labor. Materials include monographs, serials, statistics, maps, and reports and are available in many different formats, including paper, microfiche, CD-ROMs, and DVDs.
South Carolina government publications
The CSU Library has a small collection of state publications, many of which have been cataloged and are listed in the online catalog. Non-cataloged state publications are housed in the basement in the Government Documents Room. They are subject to the same rules for use and check-out as Federal Documents. There is no official or complete index of state publications at this time. The CSU Library's State Government Documents webpage, however, provides access to the South Carolina State Library's webpage where you can access their online catalog, which contains records of state publications. The College of Charleston Library is a South Carolina State Depository, and all of the documents in their catalog may be searched online.
Audiovisual media services
The Audiovisuals (AV) Media Department of the library provides a variety of services designed to meet the teaching and learning goals of the University. This Department maintains the library's collection of AV media, not campus equipment. The Administrative Services AV Equipment Office is located in the library basement and handles requests for delivery of AV equipment, reports of malfunctioning classroom equipment, and equipment checkouts. To schedule campus equipment or report campus equipment problems, dial extensions (843) 863-7929 or 7077.
The staff and student workers in the Library's AV Media Department are responsible for checking out media, such as videotapes and audiotapes, and keeping this collection and AV reserve materials shelved in an orderly fashion. Faculty members may place videos and audiotapes on reserve for their students by making this request at the AV Circulation Desk on the second floor.
Faculty members are encouraged to checkout AV media for use in their classroom instruction or to assign students individually to come to the library to view or listen to media programs. The department contains individual study carrels wired and equipped to provide students access to videotapes, audiotapes, CDs, and 35 mm slides.
The AV Media Department has the capability for off-the-air taping of educational television programs. Faculty requests for this service should be submitted at the AV Circulation Desk several days before the program to be taped is broadcast. Copyright Law guidelines for off-the-air taping, including license agreements, classroom viewing restrictions, and the length of time tapes may be kept, will be strictly followed.
An additional service provided by the AV Media Department is assistance to CSU students, faculty and staff in preparing teaching materials. The department has equipment for laminating, and for recording and dubbing audio and videotapes. Supplies to produce these materials are available in the department and a price list is posted at the AV Circulation Desk.
BILT Center
The Bibliographic Instruction and Library Technology (BILT) Center is located on the second floor of the library. It is used by the library faculty for the Library Research Methods class, and for librarian-led bibliographic instruction sessions for other classes. This room contains computers and presentation equipment which allow demonstration of the use of the online catalog, electronic indexes, and the Internet, and provide hands-on practice in the use of electronic information resources. To schedule a bibliographic instruction session for your class, contact Ruth Castillo (843) 863-7945 or 7946.
When not in use for library classes or bibliographic instruction, the BILT Center is available for general use by students, faculty, and staff, but may not be used for non-library classes. People not affiliated with CSU may not use the BILT Center, but may use the computers on the first floor. The BILT Center closes at 9:45 pm Sun-Thur and 4:30 pm Fri-Sat during Fall and Spring semesters, and one half-hour before the Library closes during Maymester and Summer semesters.
The BILT Center provides twenty-four computers running Windows, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Office (which includes Word, Excel, Access, and Power Point). No data files or other software may be saved permanently on BILT Center computers and any changes made to the computers will be lost when the computers are restarted, which occurs at least nightly. Floppy drives are available and floppy disks may be purchased in the library for $1.00. CD-ROM drives, some DVD-ROM drives, and USB ports for USB/flash drives are available for reading data files and for running library-approved software programs only. USB/flash drives may be purchased in the CSU bookstore. Software for classes or CD-ROM's which accompany textbooks and require installation or setup generally cannot be used in the BILT Center. Students needing to run other software should use one of the campus computer labs. Laser printing is available. Faculty should request a username and password for the print management system from Patty Hambrick.

|Rodriguez attends Colo. State Patrol Youth Academy
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
After a mentally and physically challenging week, 16-year-old Janel Rodriguez can proudly say she successfully completed training at the Colorado State Patrol Youth Academy. Young people from all over the state participated in the program June 20-26 in Golden.
The focus of the academy is on leadership development through team exercises and individual achievement. Rodriguez became familiar with the basic elements of the Colorado State Patrol Academy through a demanding daily training schedule.
Rodriguez said air horns woke them up in the early morning hours, and certain rules needed to be followed such as making her bed properly. Cadets then took part in intense physical training and team building exercises.
Class time taught students about ethics and law enforcement, police communications procedures and the history and philosophy of the Colorado State Patrol. They also got to go observe a dispatch center.
Driving cars on an obstacle course was part of the introduction to law enforcement driving. Rodriguez said they also got to conduct mock traffic stops around the academy's campus.
Mock crime scene investigations were an interesting part of the week's activities. Everything had to be done in a certain order so variables could be eliminated and suspects could be identified, said Rodriguez.
Firearm safety and familiarization was also included in the training. Cadets had the opportunity to shoot guns at targets while at the academy.
"There's a lot more to being a law enforcement officer than we think," said Rodriguez, thinking back on the many things she learned from the experience.
Even before participating in the youth academy, she was thinking about getting involved in law enforcement after high school. Now after she knows what to expect, the program affirmed her thoughts that she would like to become a state trooper in the future.
Rodriguez will be a junior at Haxtun High School this fall and is the daughter of Domitilo and Minnie Rodriguez of Holyoke.

RIVERWORLD, Syfy Channel, 2010
Remakes are almost always bad. The original belonged to a particular time and place and was part of a cultural mood that has long since passed. But the Syfy channel has a pretty good track record of not just remaking but improving the first try. Take, for example, Batlestar Galacatia. Easily one of the worst series ever conceived, the truly horrible Seventies space opera could only be improved. The same was true of Stargate, a bad movie that had a long afterlife as a decent television series. Speaking of afterlife, Syfy has resurrected another not-so-old movie, Riverworld. I have vague memories of the original, graced by the presence of Mark Twain. The remake is an elaboration, stretched into four hours. Contrary to many reviewers, I enjoyed the miniseries. But then, I am easily diverted by the afterlife theme.
Briefly, the Riverworld plot remains the same—-people on earth die and are reemerge from a river on another world, a planet one hundred times larger than earth. Reborn from previous series are Tahmoh Penikett from BSG and Peter Wingfield from Highlander. Fortunately, everyone speaks English, explained as a universal language that has been hotwired into the brains of all the dead. Also fortunately, the dead have been reborn as adults at the peak of their physical powers and worldly beauty. No children or old people here. Unfortunately, the planet is run by the Blue People who are using the humans, the "Awakened," as pawns in a debate as to whether or not the human race is worth reviving and perfecting through atonement. The Blue Ones who are negative towards the Awakened, practice waterboarding and want to blow up the planet, which has, apparently, been created, complete with mechanical horses for Pizarro and his conquistadors to ride, for the purpose of salvation. The humans are thus divided between those who want to destroy Riverworld and those who want to save it. Although we are told there are millions of resurrected humans on board, we see only those camped alongside the river's banks. Undoubtedly, the smart ones have retreated to the forests and are staying out of trouble.
The two big stars, Penikett and Wingfield, become adversaries, and everyone else is part of a large supporting cast. Compared the first attempt at Riverworld, there is a lot of sex. Even Mark Twain, portrayed as a swashbuckler by Mark Deklin, has sex. Wingfield, playing the Nineteenth Century explorer and writer, Sir Richard Burton, explains to his new lover, Jessie, that he is skilled in the arts of the Karma Sutra. Although Riverworld is not heaven, spending eternity with a devotée of inventive sex isn't exactly hell, either. Jessie, played by Laura Vandervoort, is a Barbie-doll of a bimbo, devoid of personality. It is unclear why Matt would be so obsessed with seeking her out, especially when a much superior woman is close by, Tomoe, Jeananne Gossen, playing a Samurai warrior. The good guys join forces with Samuel Clemens on his riverboat that took "years" to build. I have no idea what a "year" means in Riverworld, but apparently there are many of them: you die and are reborn. The riverboat is headed to the Source, a place where Clemens believes all questions will be answered. Alas, the Source turns out to be the Dark Tower. And there are no answers waiting.
Afterlife scenarios are always interesting and Christian-based cultures are fascinated with the possibilities. We rarely see Heaven, apparently a very dull place, in our films. RIverworld is either a kind of hell or a purgatory, much more interesting and dramatic. Aside from some kind of "reactor" in the riverboat, there is no modern technology in Riverworld, no machine guns, no electricity, no computer geeks, and only one engineer. There is no art here and only one scene where left-over hippies are playing bongo drums. This is an afterlife without music, joy or love, a world given over to violent conflict. If there are teachers or philosophers in this place, they must be prudently cowering in caves. If one contrasts this version of an alternative to life here on earth with that put forward by Star Trek, it is clear that the optimism of the Sixties has long since been overtaken by a dark vision of ultimate despair, characteristic of the New Millennium. There is a fleeting reference to 9/11 when one of the very minor characters spots an old friend who died in the North Tower.
September 11th haunts this movie as it haunts so many others made in the past decade. We learn that earth has been blown up. So there is no chance of going "home." The Awakened humans are all that is left and they are stranded on an alien world. The unwinding of the plot is perhaps less interesting than how Riverworld ends: the planet was almost destroyed but slowly the humans regenerated and over a series of years and return to the beginning, floating to the surface of dark waters and swimming to shore. The conflict must be reenacted; the journey begun again. Einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Riverworld is a world very much like our own: we fight the same battles and debate the same issues, decade after decade. This television event was too long by about an hour, but it says something about who we are now. In America, we are divided between two forces: those who want to go back in time and are angry because something has changed "their America" and because, for some reason, they were left behind. On the other side, there are those who are struggling to find hope, if not in a person, at least within themselves. At the end, Riverworld restarts and Mark Twain insists on the possibility of hope. There might be more to come of this bleak vision. We shall see if a series emerges out of the new Riverworld.

Feb. 14 TigerCast: Kristen Helmstetter and Denton Koon
With both basketball teams preparing for key Ivy League weekends, starters Kristen Helmstetter and Denton Koon join the latest edition of TigerCast.
Helmstetter, a junior forward from Bridgewater, N.J., has helped the women's basketball team to a 5-0 start in the Ivy League. She is averaging 9.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for a Princeton squad that hosts both Dartmouth and Harvard this weekend. A Tiger sweep would give Princeton a two-game lead in the league, and Helmstetter talks about the program's development and the keys for the upcoming weekend.
Koon is a sophomore on the men's basketball team, which can take over first place in the Ivy League this weekend with a sweep at Dartmouth and Harvard. Koon was Princeton's leading scorer in both games last weekend, and recently had a career effort in a home win over Cornell. Koon talks about getting back on the road and the challenges of moving through a deep and talented Ivy League schedule.

The College of Engineering at California State University, Long Beach has unveiled a newly designed and fabricated rodder machine -- a large apparatus used to clean/clear sewer systems -- that was built by faculty, staff and students in a partnership project with a local businessman.
Those involved with the development of the machine believe this updated and improved sewer rodder, which has several unique and important advanced features, is more efficient and easier to use than those currently being used by municipal sewer departments and contractors.
The success of this project shows that the university can work closely with business and industry to help make improvements, break new ground and develop bigger and better mousetraps, as it were," said Forousan Golshani, dean of the CSULB College of Engineering. "Many local and small businesses dont see the university as this kind of resource, but with the completion of this project, weve certainly shown what is possible."
Two years ago, CSULB Engineering Professor Parviz Yavari was contacted by businessman Neil McDowell, the 91-year-old owner and operator of The Max Factory in Stanton, who was interested in building a better rodder machine.
Having been in the business of selling rodder machines, rods and tools for cleaning sewer systems for more than 50 years, McDowell knows the ins and outs of the work and its equipment. He also believes he knows how to improve on what is currently in the marketplace.
Still, when he decided he wanted to build a better rodder machine, he didnt exactly know who to go to for help. Thats where Professor Yavari and a group of students from the CSULB College of Engineering came into the picture.
"I wanted to make a machine, but I didnt have the talent to do it. Im not an engineer. Im a lawyer who got hooked into selling sewer machines, and I love it," McDowell pointed out. "It never occurred to me that the university would be a source for making the kind of machine we had in our minds. But, a couple of friends of mine introduced me to Dr. Yavari and we made an agreement to build this machine."
Combining the experience and industry knowledge of McDowell and the engineering skills and available resources of CSULB, the result of the collaboration is, they believe, an updated and improved rodder machine, which McDowell has dubbed "Mighty Max Model 007."
"Working with Mr. McDowell, we knew what the short-comings of the current rodder machines were," said Yavari, a mechanical engineering professor who also worked with retired aerospace mechanic and friend Joseph Wardell on the project. "So, we designed Mighty Max with those in mind and have built a machine that is an improvement over what is currently out there."
Truck mounted rodding machines have a reel that holds a long, continuous wire, and the reel is mounted on a rotating carriage that provides lateral rotation. A mechanical drive pushes the wire in/out of the sewer line and has a significant amount of power for pushing and pulling. An assortment of tools can be attached to the end of the continuous wire for removal of stoppages, grease and roots in sewer lines. Operators must learn the various types of stoppages, and the appropriate tools to use.
Weighing about 1,800 pounds and affixed to a truck, Mighty Max was about 18 months in the making. It has 2,000 feet of continuous wire on its larger, newly-designed reel, which means a trained operator can bypass manholes (which are generally 300 feet apart) and save substantial set-up time and remove or break up any stoppage, except those due to a broken pipe. Already tested, the Mighty Max can clean/clear 1,000 feet of sewer pipe in less than 10 minutes and has the power to pull some 11,000 pounds.
"When we finished building the machine, we got permission from the City of Stanton to take it out and put it to the test," Yavari noted, "and it performed beyond our expectations. Mr. McDowell is extremely satisfied with the results."
The Mighty Max rodding machine includes several innovative or improved features, including:
Because rodder machines exist in a couple of different forms, Yavari said he cannot patent the entire machine, but the innovative aspects of the design and fabrication can and will be patented, including the new electronic footage meter, fast-lock coupling system that attaches the tool to the rod and the "special design of a bolt and springs for load application."
In addition to Yavari, eight CSULB students were involved with the project in design and fabrication. One of the students used his work as the basis of his final project submission en route to earning his masters degree in aerospace engineering. Another was able to use the experience to find a job right away, according to Yavari.
"That was another successful aspect of the project for the university. The experience our students received was incredibly valuable, and the exposure to these types of projects can be very beneficial to our students, especially in the job market," Yavari said. "Actually, one of the biggest challenges of this project had to do with the electrical system, and one of the students working on the project ended up solving the problem."
Yavari credited the projects success to "the hard work of a group of dedicated people despite a limited budget, very tight schedule and a limited amount of equipment to work with."
With all of the documentation, drawings and specifications in hand, McDowell is heading into the production aspect of this venture, and he estimates that his company should have machines ready to deliver in about six months.
He said he has found five different manufacturers that can produce the various components that make up the Mighty Max rodder machine. "Dr. Yavari designed this machine in components the frame, the carriage, the drive and so on," McDowell pointed out. "So, we can have each of those components manufactured outside, and we can bring them to our factory and assemble the final product and make sure the machines are working properly."
The Mighty Max will sell for about $130,000 to $140,000 complete (rodder machine and truck), and McDowell said he has a target of selling 10 machines in the first year.

Very nice. I had a San Jose a few years ago, but it only lasted a summer until it was stolen. Hope you have better luck than I!
Nice looking bike! Columbus is nice and flat to tear around in, too. That's going to be some fun.
A hint about your front fender: You'll catch a lot of road spray with the leading edge up high off the tire like that. I had the same problem with my Cross Check, because that hanger mount isn't long enough to cover the gap they leave for large tire clearance. Go to the hardware store and get a piece of 1/16" strip steel (usually over with all the deck joiners and such) and make a little extender to get that fender down close to the tire. It helped me tons this winter.

What kind of crankset is that?
Shwinggggg!! Love it.
I have the same bike rolling on 32mm Schwalbe Marathons. I've thought about putting Gatorskins on it like on my other bikes. How are you liking it with the Contis?
The cranks are probably Sugino XD w/42T ring if stock. It also has a bash ring since it's marketed as a cyclocross bike.
Oh, and keep the saddle. It's...well, unique. I have had some interesting comments about it.

hubcap, I had some gatorskins for a few weeks before my bike was ripped off. They kind of seemed like overkill - sacrificed a lot in ride quality for the cast-iron flat protection. Then again if I were in a place bad for flats, it wouldn't be overkill at all!
Really nice looking bike. I have a Volpe, which I think is the same frame and it is a really nice ride.
However, the rack... man... what is it? I wouldn't carry a sandwich on that.
Good choice of pump, but buy some red Loctite and use it on the bolt that holds the flip out foot pad. Both mine and a friend's fell off and were lost.
Thanks for all the comments. I originally purchased the bike to get in on the whole FF/SS thing, but it's so well suited to commuting that I re-tasked it almost immediately. It's even got a trailer hitch so I can tow my daughter around on the MUP.
My saddle doesn't have the animal print, it's just a rather boring (and slightly uncomfortable) black. I'm probably going to swap it for a 143mm Specialized Avatar or Alias. I have a Toupe in the same size on my road bike and I love it.
It's something I picked up from Nashbar a couple years ago, in case I ever had a use for it. It's really not a bad rack, but you're right, I wouldn't trust it to carry any serious weight.

Looks very nice but functional.
Nice bike! Double superflashes in back - nice.

looks like he used the stock hardware that comes with the superflashes. if I remember correctly you get 2 mounting clamps for different sized diameter tubes

Fellow san jose owner, I'm going to disagree with you, that you don't need a new saddle. I'm still rocking the stock with the leopard print and i love it.
Also have you thought about a new stem, or flipping the current one? The only thing I really disliked about my san jose was the stock stem and its angle.
I don't think San Joses come w/ the leopard print anymore
Cute bike. Is she single?
I just switched from cyclocross to city commuter tires. The 42 size is just perfect for the Bianchi San Jose. Rolls smooth and fast!
How do you like commuting with a single speed? On my rides I use 3 out of 10 of my gears... the headwinds kill me.

In the continuing adventures of a rich white sexual predator, Dominique Strauss-Kahn appears to have escaped prosecution in France for his 2003 attack on journalist Tristane Banon.
"For lack of sufficient elements of evidence, prosecution cannot be undertaken on the charge of attempted rape," the prosecutor's office said. However, it said, "facts that could be qualified as sexual assault have been acknowledged." Problem is, French law has a three-year statute of limitations on prosecution for sexual assault, and the attack on Banon took place seven years ago. Because of this, she had sought to have him prosecuted for attempted rape, which carries a ten year statute of limitations.
CNN reports that "Strauss-Kahn admitted to "sexual aggression" against Banon at the time." Banon said that DSK invited her to an empty apartment for the book interview, where he locked the door and then attacked her. According to the New York Times: "they ended up tussling on the floor, with the politician trying to open her jeans and bra and putting his fingers in her mouth and underwear."
Banon managed to fight him off, escape the apartment and lock herself in her car outside. She called her mother, Socialist politician Anne Mansouret, from the car and when Mansouret arrived about an hour and a half later, she said she found her daughter still locked in the car and looking "roughed up." The heel of one shoe was broken, Mansouret recalled to CNN. But Mansouret told her daughter not to file a complaint out of concern that filing charges against DSK would ruin her career. Mansouret later admitted that in retrospect, she felt terribly guilty for not encouraging her daughter to report DSK to the police.
This demonstrates the obvious problem with a statute of limitations: no one should be able to get away with sexual assault simply because three years have gone by. But frankly, the statute of limitations isn't the main problem here. The problem is that the French prosecutor decided to take the easy way out and say it was a only sexual assault so they could slip through the loophole of limitations instead of having to prosecute it as attempted rape….even though it was obviously that as well. Because Banon fought DSK off before he managed to penetrate her vaginally, prosecutors claim they don't have "sufficient evidence" that it was attempted rape. Apparently when a man sexually assaults a woman, tries to physically subdue her and rip her pants off, French prosecutors don't think it logically follows that he's trying to rape her. Either those prosecutors are fucking morons…or they simply want to make this case go away. I suspect it's both.
Still, by essentially admitting to sexual assault and being called out for it by the authorities, DSK drove another nail into his political coffin. It seems fairly certain that his career will not recover:
There was little chance Mr. Strauss-Kahn would have been convicted in the French criminal case or served time in jail, but his political career has been badly damaged by the charges, and the French seem almost bored now with him and the case.
"The sword of Damocles has been lifted" from him in terms of prosecution, said Bruno Jeudy, the political editor of Le Journal du Dimanche, a weekly newspaper. "Will it change anything? No, not in the immediate future."
Mr. Strauss-Kahn "is out of the political film," Mr. Jeudy said, describing the television interview as a kind of funeral. "We would need very serious economic trouble to request his help."
The one bit of good news is that l'affaires DSK may have created enough revulsion and exposed enough ugly rape apologism that it creates a cultural turning point in France, much in the same way that Anita Hill's testimony against Clarence Thomas 20 years ago turned the corner on the way sexual harassment was discussed and prosecuted in the US.
The two cases did bring a strong feminist reaction in France, however, with women's groups citing renewed interest in their work and new understanding, especially among younger men and women, of the line between flirting and sexual aggression.Olivia Cattan, president of "Paroles de Femmes," a feminist group, said on Thursday that the French prosecutor's decision "leaves a bitter taste" but "is half a victory," given that "they acknowledge the crime" even if the limits of the law prevent punishment. The case proves that Ms. Banon "is not a liar," Ms. Cattan said.
Since 2006, she said, her group has been pressing for an extension of the statute of limitations for sexual assault from three years to 10, as currently the case with rape, which she said required evidence of penetration. "This case is symbolic enough to make it work," she said.
Let's hope that's the case.

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) -- Police in suburban Atlanta say two people who told authorities a man fell asleep on their couch and later died have been charged in his death.
Cobb County police spokesman Dana Pierce says authorities were called to a house in Marietta Tuesday and found 33-year-old Gharri Nicholas Lawson dead.
Pierce says 36-year-old Terry Louis Thomas and 43-year-old Danielle Matzkow Darby told police they tried waking Lawson and realized he was dead. Pierce says investigators determined Lawson was drugged and the two planned to rob him of his jewelry.
Pierce says the two are charged with murder during the commission of a felony and drug charges.
Pierce says Darby is being held at the Cobb County jail and Thomas was arrested Tuesday in Flint, Michigan.
It's unclear if they have attorneys.
