A librarian will be assigned to work with your First Year Seminar course to ensure that your students are introduced to University-level research.
Here is some basic information about how librarians can work with you.
Students arrive at Appalachian with varying levels of information literacy skills. They may not have had exposure to university level research and may be overwhelmed with even basic research tasks (i.e. searching the online catalog, locating books, finding articles). Librarians have the expertise to provide your students instruction in the concepts as well as mechanics of locating, evaluating, and accessing information resources. Bringing your student to the library is a good way to get them off to a good start on the research process.
The First Year and Freshman Seminar Library Instruction Curriculum is designed to address the research assignments that students will be completing in your course. The session will include an overview of the library homepage, introduction to searching the library catalog and databases, and evaluation of information sources.
Student Learning Outcome: Students will select a topic and locate appropriate resources to support their research.
Curriculum: Students will be introduced to the steps in the research process and will be provided an overview of library resources and services appropriate for completing a research-based assignment.
Students should view the following tutorials before their scheduled library instruction session:
*The First Year and Freshman Seminar Library Instruction Curriculum addresses the Information Literacy Goals for Appalachian Students, supports the goal of academic study as outlined by the First Year Seminar Program, and is aligned with the University's General Education Program Goals.
Research indicates that students receive the most benefit from library instruction when it is scheduled in conjunction with a research assignment. Students should be aware of their assignment before coming to the library instruction session.
There is a very high demand for library instruction during the fall & spring semesters so the more lead time you can give the better. Scheduling a minimum of two weeks in advance gives your librarian adequate time to:
Yes! It can be frustrating for students when materials are not available. Please allow us to put your materials on reserve and alert other librarians of requirements and due dates for an assignment.

|Lincoln ampitheatre route is a good alternative to the more crowded routes. Climbed Lincoln then traversed to Cameron, Bross, "South Bross", back to Cameron and over to Democrat. Nasty storm was coming in, so I quickly descended back to Cameron/Democrat saddle and then went down the steep scree slope to the north. From there I found the wheeler trail and hiked back out to the reservoir. Pretty long this way, but a good time.

|Date Climbed: 7Sept04
|Should have been an easy climb, but the snow/sleet moved in. Finished all three from Kite Lake- but high trailhead helps. We had no views thanks to the 50mph winds and white, so unfortunately it was just to cross them off the list. Climbing just to get to the top is great, but I go for the sights. Careful coming down or you miss the trail and contribute to trail damage on the scree slopes.

|Camped at Kite Lake the night before and awoke to a gorgeous view! Did Democrat and Cameron before heading over to Lincoln. Very easy from the summit of Cameron! Within 30-40 minutes we were back at Cameron and heading off to Bross. You're a bit exposed in some parts but nothing to get the heart pumping. The pictures I took of Lincoln from Cameron and Bross are stupendous!

- To make the batter, place the hot water and coffee granules in a small bowl, and stir to mix well. Set aside.
- Place the flour, cocoa powder, milk powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl, and stir to mix well. Add the brown sugar, and stir to mix well. Use the back of a wooden spoon to press out any lumps in the brown sugar. Add the egg substitute, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, and coffee mixture, and stir to mix well. Set the batter aside for 15 minutes.
- If desired, stir the nuts into the batter. Coat the bottom only of an 8-x-8-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray, and spread the mixture in the pan. Bake at 325°F for about 22 minutes, or just until the edges are firm and the center is almost set. Be careful not to overbake. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- To make the glaze, place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Place the vanilla extract in another small bowl, add the coffee granules, and stir to dissolve the granules. Add the vanilla mixture and the milk to the sugar, and stir to mix well, adding a little more milk if the glaze seems too thick. Microwave on high power for about 30 seconds, or until hot and runny.
- Drizzle the hot glaze back and forth over the cooled brownies. Allow the brownies to sit for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. For easier cutting, rinse the knife off periodically.

Crystal Clear
It was a star-studded, red-carpet night for Julia Argyros, daughter Stephanie and her Three Moms on a Mission pals Krista Jajonie and Daneia Sanadiki. The fabulous foursome were joined by Brooke Burke-Charvet (of Dancing With the Stars fame) and actor-husband David Charvet as honored guests at Operation Smile's 30th anniversary bash, held at the iconic Beverly Hilton Hotel. Access Hollywood's Billy Bush served as the master of ceremonies for the night, which raised essential funding for the nonprofit that provides free surgery to kids around the world who are suffering from facial deformities. And the audience was all smiles when Julia pledged a $1 million donation of her own, raising the evening's tally to $2 million. Flash those pearly whites! Photos by Vince Bucci

Apprentice hunter validation. An individual born after Dec. 31, 1961, who is 16 years of age or older and who does not possess a hunter education course certificate of completion, may be issued an apprentice hunter validation. An apprentice hunter validation covers only one license year in a lifetime. An individual in possession of an apprentice hunter validation may hunt small game and deer only when accompanied by an adult (at least 18 years of age) licensed to hunt in this state whose license was not obtained using an apprentice hunter validation. An apprentice hunter validation holder must obtain all required licenses and stamps. For purposes of this section, "accompanied" means to stay within a distance of another individual that permits uninterrupted visual contact and unaided verbal communication.
Purchasing/applying for an apprentice license. An apprentice hunter must purchase the small game license or apply for a deer license through the Game and Fish Department's electronic licensing system. If the apprentice hunter wants to continue hunting beyond the initial trial year, the hunter must then complete a certified hunter education course.
To purchase an apprentice small game license. Access the Online Services page and click on "purchase and print an online license." Follow the regular licensing procedure, and leave the "hunter education number" field blank.
To apply for an apprentice deer license. Access the Online Services page and click on "apply online." Follow the regular application procedure, and leave the "hunter education number" field blank.

To the editor:
The main stream media says Republicans are doing poorly in the polls for trying to delay Obamacare and negotiate for less debt. Some people blame the tea party for speaking up about Obamacare and the spending problem.
Congressional Republicans entered the fight knowing they would get thrashed by the media while Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., beat them to a pulp. The tea party warned of obvious problems with Obamacare and huge debts.
"Facts are stubborn things," said John Adams in 1770. The fact is the Obamacare exchange website is a disaster and that's only the tip of the iceberg. So far, 1.5 million people have lost their health care insurance.
Who did Obama threaten while not negotiating on Obamacare and debt? He threatened Social Security retirees, military families, military death benefits, Social Security, disability, federal retirees and more. Obama's disgraceful tantrum dictated that he deny the Greatest Generation access to their memorial.
Who didn't Obama threaten? He didn't threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens or take Internet access away from violent inmates. He didn't fire unnecessary federal employees or cut back on his family's vacations - so far $20 million.
He didn't cut his golf budget, farm subsidies or green funding. He didn't threaten to reduce benefits to welfare recipients, stop taxpayer-paid cell phone use or cut any of the duplicitous food stamp programs. Nor did he reduce foreign aid, contributions to the United Nations or reduce anything that involved his voter base. Basically, if he couldn't hurt his perceived enemies he didn't want to cut anything. How is it extreme to warn of the obvious Obamacare disaster and the verifiable $17 trillion debt?

I really like the concept of lucid dreaming, but in addition to having to wake up in the middle of the night (according to it's technique), my biggest hurdle to being able to practice it is actually logging down the dream in the middle of the night.
Dreams are volatile entities. You get up from bed and can already feel all the little details seeping out of you. Puff, all that world that only existed in your head is no more. This is for physiological reasons, and for the same reason we sometimes wake up in the middle of the night fully conscious but don't remember it come morning (other people tells us instead). This transition from dream to waking life is sometimes a bit blurred by our brain, but as soon as it's completed, our 'dream buffer' is mostly deleted (and our 3am excursion to the kitchen might get deleted with it).
But to write down a dream in the middle of the night without moving much or turning any lights on? I can touch type, and that is essential. I'm looking for a modern solution. I have already tried these:
Had an Alphasmart beside my bed, so when I woke I would pull it and type lying in bed to some success, but they're a bit inconvenient to transfer to a PC later, plus they're old tech and keep failing (I had like 8 malfunctional units at one point).
Had my laptop turned on with a program called Q10 focused. The program is great because it provides typewriter-like audible feedback on key touch. But there's too much hassle with this setup: 1. you need to ensure power settings won't make the pc sleep/hibernate; 2. every morning you need to setup the laptop again at your desk (extra monitors, etc); 3. don't even get me started on avoiding the laptop's screen light (Alphasmart produced no light in comparison).
Same as (2) but with Gmail or some other cloud text-input with auto-save. That way I used a second laptop exclusively for this and accessed Gmail on my desk laptop. Problems is it didn't provide audible feedback so I had to look for windows utilities to provide that = setup hassle.
Same as (2) but with Apple's bluetooth keyboard, so the laptop would stay on the desk (in my room). Problems: the bluetooth's reach is a joke, I would often loose connection if the keyboard was lying on top of me, but if I lifted it a foot it would have a connection. Also the battery runs out unexpectedly fast. And for blind touch typing I need something dependable.

I'm interested in developing for the web and I'm curious what languages should I know besides html, css, javascript, php/python/ruby. I don't know much about c# or java to make a decision whether to learn them or not, are they used much in the field I'm interested in? What other technologies should I look into ?

You will need to learn SQL at some point and it's probably better to learn it sooner rather than later. You'll need to know a thing or two about databases no matter what framework or language you work in so the effort spent on learning SQL won't be wasted. Most frameworks and languages try their best to abstract the database access layer but it varies from language to language and you won't see the unity unless you know SQL. Lately there's a push away from relational databases but it's still a good idea to learn the basics of SQL simply because many of the terms and concepts have analogs in non-relational settings as well.
HTML and CSS are not programming languages.
Google App Engine supports Java. Microsoft IIS supports C#. If you're already familiar with html, css, js, php, python, and ruby, don't bother learning any more langauges, start programming!
You need to learn some SQL to interact with database.
You will get away with knowing:
Over and above this: any other languages - Python or Ruby perhaps, *nix shell scripts, DOS for batch files, UML for requirements definition, oh and maybe some Klingon so you can socialise with your geeky colleagues
To get a quick start, you might want to look at frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Django or Grails. To use them, you need to learn Ruby, Python resp. Groovy. Those languages are relatively easy to learn, so if you are new to web application programming, you might want to start with one of them.
JavaScript, HTML, CSS are necessary in any case. You will probably need some SQL, too.
Except the ones you listed, Java, ASP, .NET (and hence C#) and SQL are common in the Web world. However, it seems to me that many of those who use PHP and C#/.NET/ASP are not enjoying it. Few are fanatic of these technologies if they are also proficient in something else.
Also, you can't learn all of these properly in a reasonable amount of time. I'd recommend to test around, and stick with one web framework you like, and learn that properly first.
The one language of the above most likely to be useful in any case is SQL, so learn that first. As for choice of web framework, the obvious ones are Ruby on Rails, Django (Python), Pyramid (also Python). I don't know which exist on Java/.NET, sorry.
Google App Engine is cool, and uses a sort of almost-Django by default, but Pyramid runs on it also. And you can run Java, but I don't know what restrictions there are there.
Well, that's all the general recommendations I have. If you want me to get dogmatic I'd recommend you too use Python with Pyramid and SQLAlchemy for SQL access. But it's so much a matter of taste. :)
Definitely check out Django if you already know Python, it's a great web app framework, really easy to get started with (there are tutorials on the Django website) and very flexible.
Just because no one has mentioned it yet, Flash with ActionScript 3 is a rather wide-spread solution for rich-media client-side applications. It always depends on what you want to develop.
I would rather suggest that learning Java or C# now from scratch would be a bit too much and probably couldn't really help your profile. With the languages you already know, you could in theory do everything you want (with the help of a little SQL, certainly.)
On the other hand, if you're at home in the Microsoft world, some ASP.NET stuff can't be wrong. And with C# and SilverLight, you can also do the things that you can do with Flash.
Not a language as such, but you should learn XML and XPath (and maybe XSLT).
As 5arx said, XML is used everywhere and XPath is incredibly useful at pulling information out of an XML document.
I think you should focus more on how to structure a well written website. That will follow all programming languages you'll ever learn. How should the site connect to the backend, what types of storage should you use?
Basically all programming langauges offer the same service, and most of them are so similar that once you learn enough you can quickly switch between them. Stop focusing on learning programming languages, they just come along for the ride. Focus on what it is you want to achieve.

Hi Darkwolfe,
Thank you very much for your help.
You can disable the toggle by adding a beforedblclick event listener and returning false. Since the editing events are tied to the tree body and not the panel body, this will not affect editing or events associated with editing.
Can I fix that, or at least can I prevent the fact that it goes to the next branch in editing mode.
In other words : I want only to edit the cell that I want and after editing I don't want that to step into another cells.
The editor is positioned at the top left of the cell. When I created this i didn't take into account form elements like checkboxes so it handles all them the same in terms of editor position. I'll need to add some code to check for form element type before positioning the editor. I'll put this into the next update.
May be, meanwhile, could you tell me in which line of the code this is managed.
I haven't noticed this. Can you provide a screenshot so i know what to look for?
I don't know how a checkcolumn model could be added. Ext was a little misleading calling the TreeGrid a grid, when it is more like a TreeListView. The columns are borrowed from the ListView, which in turn is loosely borrowed from the Grid, however, with a ListView, and consequently with the TreeGrid, no column model is actually used, so i'm not sure how you could get that in there. I'll take a look at it when i can, i should be able to mimic that functionality.
I think that the boolean column will satisfy me need.
5) Another point that I forgot to mentionned, as you will see in the pictures, when I have a null value, this "null" value is displayed as "null", and before that I used a classic grid, and the "null" value was not displayed but it was empty.
How can I manage to avoid the displaying of "null" ?

8 Oct 2011 1:43 PM #13
Hi Darkwolfe,
First of all, again, thank you for your help, your answers are very useful.
This function is by design. The editor will move to the nextSibling on enter. If you would like to change this behavior, look at the onEditorKey function that begins on line 811. The line you want to alter will be line 831.
You'll want to look at the getCellEditor function that starts on line 617. This creates an instance of Ext.grid.GridEditor, which is an extension of the Ext.Editor class. Look in the ext api for config options, but I would start with the alignment config option. Without any testing, i am about 90% sure that'll do the trick.
I see your screenshot, but i'm still not quite sure what you mean. To me, it looks like a normal column. What am i missing? I didn't alter any code relating to the headers, so this must be present on the Ext.tree.TreeGrid. I'll see if I can fix it, and create an override for the standard tree grid if necessary, once I'm more clear of the problem. If it's obvious, sorry i'm being so thick.
If you have a look to the column header that I encircled in red, you will see that the background is not not properly displayed (in grey like the others header columns on the left).
And the problem occurs when these columns were masked at the beginning of the rendering, but when you scroll (horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the grid), to display these columns, you will get the problems.
After you answer, I made the test with a simple grid, and we don't have this problem.
I made no alterations of the code that displays the values in the tree, so i'm not 100% on this one. I would start by looking at the Ext.ux.tree.TreeGridNodeUI class and overriding the renderElements functions. I would guess that the first for loop that sets up the column/node html element is the place to look. If you haven't figured it out by the time i can get to this, i'll take a look. i agree, though, "null", null, and possibly undefined should be parsed out.[/QUOTE]
Thanks, by my side, meanwhile I will try to solve the problem at the source (server side) to avoid these "null" values.
9 Oct 2011 3:34 PM #14
Hi Darkwolfe,
I noticed another point : When I edit a cell, and I scroll horizontaly (a treegrid with a horizontal scrolbar), the edit cell doesn't follow the column.
It stays on place as if it was positionned in a absolute way.

10 Oct 2011 9:31 AM #17
Yeah, i noticed this too. In the newest update (v1.0.6), the editor will cancel when scrolling occurs.
And what about not cancelling the editor if scrolling occurs ? Is it possible to manage the editor with the scrolling (following the scrolling) ?
21 Oct 2011 9:47 AM #18
Also, don't forget to grab the latest copy from the main post (v1.0.7), there is a major bug fix that prevented editing in IE.
12 Nov 2011 10:08 AM #19
First, thank you for this amazing work!
i have the same issus, like nordine.

i think this is a problem of the grid container.
thank you by adcance.
18 Nov 2011 8:25 AM #20
hi darkwolfe
i see that if a vertical scroller apear, the horizontal one apears too (even if there is no node in the treegrid). i think it's because when the vertical scroller apears, we don't subtract it's height to the height of the treegrid's innerBody. i resolved the issu by overriting the onResize methode.
PHP Code:
bd.style.height = this.body.getHeight(true) - hd.offsetHeight-Ext.getScrollBarWidth()+ 'px';

Now you know how to create a transition between clips, is time to experiment with another feature in Kdenlive: The effects.
Effects are ways to change your original clip. Kdenlive comes with different effects that can be applied to the audio and others that can be applied to the video. The small number of standard audio effects can be easily increased if you use the Ladspa plug-ins (see this page to know how to load them).
To know in detail all effects and how they works, you can have a look at this page.
In this guide we'll know how to apply a "Greyscale" effect to a clip. This effect, as the name indicates, will take out colors from the video and display it in black & white (well, really using black, white and different grey tones! ).
Normally, except some of them, the effects apply to a full clip so, if you want to limit the effect to just a part, you need to create "subclips" as explained before in this page.
So let's go to clip in track #2. Select it and click the right mouse button. In the context menu select Add Video Effect -> Greyscale. You'll see immediatly how the colours in your clip dissapear and are replaced by grey tones!
In the same way as transitions, you can also edit the effect parameters. To do so, select the "Effect Stack" tab in the Project Panel. Unfortunately, the Greyscale effect is so easy that has no parameters!
But in this tab, you can also find some useful icons to organize the effects:
You can see also that behind the effect name there's a checkbox. If you uncheck it, the effect will not be applied but still remains in the effect list with the selected parameters (if any!). This is useful if you want to use it later on.
And behind the "Parameters" tab, you'll notice another one titled "Keyframes". For some effects, you can select as many keyframes as you need in the clip and for each keyframe you can define different parameters. This is useful if you want, for example, mute a part of a clip. You can do so in two ways:
- Creating a subclip and applying the "Mute" audio effect to this subclip
- Or using the "Volume" effect. This can be applied to the full clip and, by defining different keyframes you can adjust the volume, for example, to start muted, then increase progressively, then continue at normal level, then decrease progressively and become muted, continue muted for a time and start again progressively ...
To know more about keyframes and how to work with them see this page

Newt Gingrich was scheduled to speak in front of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) yesterday, but Newt Gingrich was sleepy, because Newt Gingrich is running a very serious and totally earnest presidential campaign here.
Luckily Gingrich—who won Georgia, and only Georgia, yesterday—woke up in time for his shining moment: "I understand you have a panel," he told a packed room. "I look forward to any questions."
There was no panel, Newt. Callista's book campaign must be exhausting.

Assessment Topic
As part of the survey (see W.2001.9), EPA developed cost models to assign costs to projects for which systems lacked adequate cost documentation. The number of projects submitted without cost documentation increased significantly in 1999 compared with the 1995 survey. Of approximately 74,000 accepted surveys, 67% were submitted without documentation of costs. This increase required greater reliance on cost modeling than in 1995.

The Big Ten Moves to the Beach
How Florida Gulf Coast Basketball Can Trace Its Roots to the Midwest
With its audacious style, high-flying acrobatics and obscure, four-letter jerseys, Florida Gulf Coast looks and plays as if it were zapped from another planet with a mission of NCAA-tournament domination.
So far, the Eagles have alley-ooped their way to the first Sweet 16 berth ever for a No. 15 seed, and on Friday they face in-state behemoth Florida.
But Florida Gulf Coast didn't, in fact, come from a distant galaxy. The Eagles, built with lightly recruited players from the Southeast who live in beachfront dormitories, actually have roots in a place quite familiar to anyone who has ever followed college basketball: the Big Ten Conference.
The story of this thrilling upstart in the land of flip-flop sandals starts at the northern end of the Interstate-75 freeway and runs south to Fort Myers, Fla., which the Eagles have proclaimed "Dunk City." The team's first coach was David Balza, who came to Florida Gulf Coast from a small college in Indiana with "cornfields on both sides of the campus," he said. Balza instilled in his first recruits the pedigree he carried with him from the sport's heartland.
"It was important to me that they had those Midwest values," said Balza, now coach at Bethany Lutheran College (Minn.). "These guys were the guys who were going to sell it to the Southwest Florida community and eventually other parts of the nation and now the world."
As for the actual brand of basketball, Balza coached what he knew, and what he knew was Michigan's 1989 national championship team. He was a student manager under Steve Fisher, who served as his primary reference for the FGCU job. Today, the Big Ten boasts four teams in the Sweet 16 and is known for its bruising inside play, stifling defense and molasses-in-January pace—basically the exact opposite of Florida Gulf Coast. But in 1989 the conference boasted some of the highest-scoring teams in the nation, including Michigan.
Balza wanted his team to be a shameless imitation of that Wolverines team: In the years before they became full Division-I members in 2011-2012, it wasn't uncommon for the Eagles to blow past 100 points in a game.
In the beginning, which means 1998, Florida Gulf Coast hired out of retirement former Michigan State athletic director Merrily Dean Baker—a woman once criticized for promoting an unproven assistant named Tom Izzo to head basketball coach. Florida Gulf Coast had nothing, so Baker bought a basketball floor and entertained the idea of the team playing in a local ice arena. Her first choice for coach at Florida Gulf Coast was Fisher, of all people, who owned a home in the Fort Myers area. He instead went to San Diego State—the team Florida Gulf Coast beat Sunday in the Round of 32.
Baker returned to retirement and new athletic director Carl McAloose resumed the initial coaching search in 2000, when he happened to spy an exceptional candidate on a flight to Florida. As he walked to the lavatory, McAloose slipped the man a napkin with a scribbled note introducing himself and describing the job. "Interested?" he wrote. McAloose discovered upon leaving the plane that no, Bob Knight wasn't interested.
But the former Indiana coach wouldn't have felt like an alien at Florida Gulf Coast. "You walk in the first sports bar down there, and I thought I was back in Big Ten territory," McAloose said. "There weren't Florida banners hanging. They were Ohio State and Michigan banners."
Once he found Balza and had a team to sell, McAloose reached out to the athletic department's target demographic: Midwestern snowbirds. "We know you cheer for Indiana and Ohio State, but we aren't playing them now," the former athletic director told them. "So when we start playing them, you can root for them. But at this point, cheer for us."
Florida Gulf Coast soon formed an athletic booster club, which last December held a steak-dinner gala that raised $225,000. Among the items for sale at a live auction: a Shih-Tzu puppy, a trip to the 2013 Final Four and two tickets to an Ohio State football game, plus practice access and sideline passes. (Buckeyes football coach Urban Meyer's daughter plays volleyball at Florida Gulf Coast.)
Of course, the program isn't entirely a Midwest transplant. Current coach Andy Enfield has only coached college basketball in the state of Florida. But even now many T-shirts at Florida Gulf Coast games bear the logos of Big Ten stalwarts like Michigan and Minnesota. "If we could get to a point where people are walking around other stadiums and wearing FGCU shirts," said Brian Rasnick, the Florida Gulf Coast booster club chair, "that's really our goal."
The Big Ten even brought out Florida Gulf Coast's infectious swagger. The flamboyant Eagles guard Sherwood Brown played his first college game in 2009 at Michigan State, and during his first free-throw attempt, the dreadlocked Brown was serenaded with chants from Michigan State students comparing him to former WNBA player Lisa Leslie. "Most kids would be stone-faced and pretend like they don't hear it," Balza said. "Not Sherwood." Brown hit the first free throw and smiled as he stared down the crowd. The Spartans' student section responded by calling him Whoopi Goldberg. Brown hit the second free throw, too. "Four years later," Balza said, "he's still doing the same thing."

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Fairfax County regulate cable rates?
Fairfax County does not regulate rates for cable television service. Federal law prevents local governments from regulating cable rates where there is "effective competition" as defined by federal law. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled in March 2007 that there was "effective competition" in the County. If you have questions about the rates charged by a cable operator, contact the Communications Policy and Regulation Division or call 703-324-5902, TTY 711.
What do the "franchise fees" and "Public, Educational and Government (PEG) support" charges on my cable bill mean?
Fairfax County's cable franchise agreements require the cable operators to pay for the use of the public rights-of-way through franchise fees and support for Public, Educational and Government (PEG) cable channels. Federal law allows the cable operators to pass on these fees to subscribers. A portion of these fees goes to support Channel 16, the Fairfax County government channel, and the government institutional network.
Do I have a choice of cable providers?
The county issues only non-exclusive franchises for cable television service. The Board of Supervisors revised the County Code to make it easier for competitive cable service providers to enter the market. Fairfax County currently administers three cable franchises. Comcast Cable provides cable television service to subscribers in the Reston area of Fairfax County. Cox Communications provides cable television service to subscribers in all other areas of the county. Verizon provides cable service in certain areas of the County overlapping those served by Cox and Comcast.
Why have WMPT and WHUT been removed from analog service on the Cox system?
On June 12, 2009 Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) affiliates WMPT and WHUT moved from Cox's analog basic tier to digital-only carriage. This change was made as a result of a voluntary agreement between APTS (the Association of Public Television Stations) and NCTA (the National Cable and Telecommunications Association) in late 2008. Although the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has not issued a specific ruling on this agreement, the FCC has taken no action to prevent it from taking effect.
As a result of the APTS-NCTA agreement, WHUT and WMPT have given up their "must carry" rights to transmission on the analog tier. In return, they will now be able to transmit several digital channels or streams of programming, rather than just one analog channel.
Because WHUT and WMPT are no longer carried in analog form, some subscribers will now need to obtain set-top boxes to view those channels. Prior to June 12, 2009, subscribers with Cox's analog service that had older analog (non-digital) TVs were able to receive WHUT and WMPT without a set-top box (if the TVs were cable-ready), or using only an analog set-top box (if the TVs were not cable-ready). Those subscribers will now need a digital set-top box to view WHUT and WMPT. To ease this transition, Cox has offered a basic version of its digital set-top box to subscribers for free for up to 6 months.
Although Cox now carries WHUT and WMPT only in digital form, WETA, a PBS affiliate with studios in Arlington, VA, retains its primary channel (Channel 26-1) in the basic analog tier in Fairfax County as Channel 26. This channel continues to be viewable to all basic analog tier subscribers.
The voluntary agreement between APTS and NCTA is similar to "must-carry" agreements that are typically negotiated by commercial stations. The "must-carry" rules do not strictly apply to the PBS stations: they are noncommercial educational television stations or "NCE," with different rights under federal law. But the APTS-NCTA agreement can be seen as similar to a commercial must-carry agreement, under which a broadcast station and a cable company agree on the terms by which the broadcast channel is carried. This view is consistent with the fact that the FCC has not objected to the agreement, but has allowed it to take effect.
Where can I find the cable franchise agreements and county ordinance pertaining to cable regulation?
Cox Communications Franchise Agreement

I see this from the comfort of the woods surrounding my house. I don't know how one can live without more trees..
The absolute starkness of contrast between the modern engineering/technology/architecture and nature could not be more vividly stated. Wow. Such a wonderful pic. Thanks for sharing and congrats.
Prosperity in the background and desolation in the foreground. Amazing photo.

The Warren County Sheriff's Office is investigating a vehicle theft.
Deputies say just before 4:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 16th, someone stole a truck from a residence on Muirfield Circle, in Bowling Green. The owner of the vehicle told police he was awakened by the sound of a vehicle starting, and when he looked out the window, his truck was gone.
On Sunday, September 30th, the truck was found in Greenbrier, TN, and police were able to determine a gas purchase had been made in Bowling Green.
Video from the gas station shows a white male, a black female, and a white female with the stolen truck. The white male entered the store, paid for items, and left. The black female was driving a dark colored van, and talked to the white female who also entered the store. The white female may have gotten out of the passenger side of the truck. Both vehicles left the parking lot together.
If you have information about this or any crime, please call South Central Kentucky Crime Stoppers at 781-CLUE, toll free 866-842-CLUE, or click here to go to their web site.
You can now "text a tip" to Crime Stoppers. Text "SCKY" plus your message to 274637 (Crimes). All information is secure and you will remain anonymous.
Crime Stoppers only wants your information, not your name. Their telephone lines are not recorded and they don't use caller ID or *69.

Torn Between Two Birds
Goodbye, Puddles. Hello, Iggles.
These are painful words to write. And hopeful words. You see, I'm a member of a suddenly conflicted minority group—a hard-core fan of the Oregon Ducks and the Philadelphia Eagles. I'm still coming to grips with Chip Kelly's departure from the Ducks to coach the Eagles.
Why did Chip forsake the Emerald Empire? How could he give up the deafening exultation of Autzen for the Linc's sorehead boo-birds? Could it be the hoagies? Maybe. The view from the Frankford El? I doubt it. I don't think it was the money, as what the Ducks were paying him was a king's ransom in plaid-shirt Eugene. Maybe the NCAA is coming after Oregon and he wanted to get out of Paris before the Germans arrived. But I'm not even sure that NCAA sanctions would have scared off Chip Kelly. He didn't run after LeGarrette Blount threw that punch in Boise at his first game as head coach.
I'm guessing Chip Kelly wanted a challenge. And he'll get one in Philly.
The first football game I ever attended was at Franklin Field on the University of Pennsylvania campus. I was nine years old, it was 1961, and the Philadelphia Eagles were playing the Cleveland Browns. Or was it the Chicago Bears? It was a long time ago. The visitors wore white uniforms, I know that, and the Eagles wore bright green with wings on their helmets.
I was with my dad, who was introducing me to the secular religion of football. The Eagles were coming off a championship year and had some great players. Sonny Jurgensen. Pete "The Baron" Retzlaff. Chuck Bednarik. I can still see the gray smoke from cheap cigars rising into the blue late September sky. I watched a plane towing a banner advertising Habbersett's Sausage flying lazily overhead. I remember that Jurgensen could throw the ball nearly the length of that lovely green field and that seeing it arch into Tommy McDonald's outstretched hands was a thing of beauty, even from the cheap seats. And how my father would get excited and yell, "He's still on his feet! He's still on his feet!" as Clarence Peaks dragged a few grass-stained linebackers down the field.
Becoming the fan of a Philadelphia team—especially the Eagles or the Phillies—is like being the member of a persecuted religion. It is the faith of your father. Think Roman Catholicism in Ireland or Poland. The Eagles have lost so many games for so many years that losing is their bitter birthright. But like the Irish or the Poles, you don't give up your faith in the face of sneering, front-running fans from Dallas, New York and Washington. You curse them, you question their manhood and—when you win, as the Eagles did fairly often in the Andy Reid regime—you feel that your faith has been rewarded.
Despite some good years, the Eagles since 1960 have been wandering in the desert longer than the Israelites and that's why Reid is in Kansas City. At Franklin Field later in the 1960s, instead of peddling sausage the plane flying overhead towed a banner reading "Joe Must Go" for the ill-starred Joe Kuharich. Ron Jaworski couldn't take the Eagles home; Randall Cunningham, Donovan McNabb or Michael Vick couldn't do it either. Bill Bergey never got a Super Bowl ring. Neither did Wilbert Montgomery nor Harold Carmichael.
In 1973, I transferred to the University of Oregon, a Philly kid with a funny accent a long way from home. I had largely given up on football—and most sports for that matter. Eugene in 1973 was a track town—you could occasionally see Steve Prefontaine running down 18th Avenue near Kincaid. I never attended a football game in my two years at Oregon; the Ducks were lousy. Basketball was the game when I was in Eugene. The Dick Harter-coached Kamikaze Kids, like the football Ducks of today, were the most entertaining team in the nation. They beat John Wooden, Bill Walton and the rest of the UCLA juggernaut in Eugene and at the Pauley Pavillion.
When it comes to Oregon football, I was a front-runner. It wasn't easy getting Pac-10 games on the East Coast. But I started watching the Ducks in the Joey Harrington days and became hooked for life when they smacked around the whiny Colorado Buffaloes at the 2002 Fiesta Bowl. Mike Bellotti was John the Baptist, ushering in a new era by recruiting the future king, Chip Kelly, as offensive coordinator.
Since Kelly took over in 2009, the Ducks have been a joy to watch as they literally ran up a 47-6 record. They are innovative, fast and relentless. And they look like they're having fun. Mike Bellotti and Chip Kelly's Ducks helped me reconnect with my alma mater, and I faithfully fly west with my family once a year to visit the campus and take in a game. Autzen Stadium on game day is electric. It's like Franklin Field in 1961, or the Spectrum with Bobby Clarke's Flyers, or Game Four of the 2009 NLCS at Citizen's Bank Park.
For me, the Ducks are the New Testament. But the Old Testament still matters.
Chip, Eagles fans are tough but they aren't stupid. They appreciate effort and smarts and heart. They detest quitters. In that regard, they're just like fans everywhere. They want to win. If you can prepare the Philadelphia Eagles to play football the way you did with the Oregon Ducks you'll do fine. I would have rather you stayed in Eugene and won a title before heading East but that's life. If you had to leave Oregon, at least you went to Philadelphia. Instead of wearing out USC, Washington and Stanford, I hope your Birds dine out early and often on the Giants, Cowboys and Redskins.
Oh, and for the record, there's at least one other member of that Ducks-Eagles minority group who is rooting for you. My brother Mark graduated from Oregon in 1979. He lives 12 miles east of Center City, Philadelphia.
Corrections & Amplifications
Reggie White played for the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers in 1997. A version of this article posted Friday said that White, previously a Philadelphia Eagle, never won a Super Bowl ring.

The question is a little wishy-washy, but I take my cues from other popular questions that relate to the philosophy behind the mathematics as Why do Groups and Abelian Groups feel so different? .
I am aware of the statements of class field theory and the modularity theorem, as well as far-reaching generalizations that have to do with the conjectural Langlands group and motives. But on a basic level, I just don't understand why such statements should be true, other than that there is a lot of evidence that they are.
What is the philosophical impetus behind modularity results?
When I read about number theory, I can very easily understand the intuition behind ramification of primes (because the intuition is geometric), but as soon as we start talking about splitting of primes, and are therefore in the realm of modularity results, I lose all intuition of why things should be true (even though I can read and understand the results as an undergraduate can -- agreeing line by line).
An example of an answer for CFT can be the following thing I've heard, but was somewhat unsatisfied with because I didn't fully understand it: that it grew out of generalizations of Fourier analysis. (if you also think of this as the reason it's true, and can expatiate -- do!)

I know you can't translate everything directly, sometimes it doesn't make sense, specially when it comes from quotes.
What would be the best intepretation of the following quotes?:
What goes around comes around
Like father like son
The above were random examples. It would be great if you can provide as many as you can think of and also if you know the other way around (from Spanish to English) of, say for example:
Más sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo
No hay mal que por bien no venga
I have no idea of how to say that in English. Do all quotes have their English counterpart?

Where can I get books for my Kindle?
I received a Kindle for my birthday. I was wondering where to get books to read on it. I know I can buy them from Amazon, but I was wondering if there were other options. I've heard you can check out ebooks from libraries nowadays; does anyone have any experience with that? Or there any other options?
I just hate spending $10 on a book I'll read once when I could just go to the library and read it for free (well... free plus late fees...)
14 Answers answer
I haven't heard much about Kindle's update to work with Overdrive (libraries) since April. I think it might not be out yet.
Overdrive says it will be released later this year:
Amazon does have a free book section. Has a book about Benjamin Franklin. Other stuff, too, I think:
Google Project Gutenberg.
Then Google "calibre".
That would be www.gutenberg.org ...over 36,000 free downloads but they appear to be only the "classics".
There are quite a few Ebooks on Amazon from free, 99cents, $2.99, etc. Search under Best sellers on the Kindle page. I have read really good books that came out for free and then were released and regular price later on. Its not all just the classics. I just ordered a 5-star novel for $2.99 - but free gets me every time!
Here is an article that lists 5 sources for free books for your Kindle (with one of them being the Project Gutenberg that was already mentioned)
I think a place called Amazon sells ebooks on occasion
Besides Project Gutenberg (mentioned above) and Amazon itself, I also get free Kindle format books from Feedbooks:
To expand on the mention of Calibre above: that is a tool that allows you to manage and convert various ebook format. However, conversion is only possible as long as they are not DRMed.
Speaking of loaning ebooks from libraries... http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/27/a-limit-on-lending-e-books/?scp=1&sq=HarperCollins&st=cse
Makes my blood boil. HarperCollins requires libraries to repurchase a license (because you know... you never actually OWN an ebook...) for their books after every 26 check outs.
And here's an interesting perspective from some librarians: http://bookbee.net/librarians-apply-the-harpercollins-26-rule-to-paper-books/
Try Booklending.com. . . the choices aren't great but it's something. (Some books are able to be lent--once--from one Kindle account to another.)
Also, visit the Web site of or call your local library. My library in NJ has a limited selection of books you can borrow, but again, it's something. YMMV. On the other hand, The New York City library has a very large collection. Like regular books, you may have to wait your turn to "borrow" an e-book.
Try http://www.ereaderiq.com/free/
It lists all the free books available on Amazon.com. You can sort by genre, past 24 hrs, include or exclude erotica, etc. You'll never be lacking something to read!
@mschauber: Thanks for the link!
@straub: No problem, enjoy.

5 Movies That Improved on the Book (According to the Author)
Uh-oh. They've made your favorite book into a movie. And, of course, they've changed everything: Bill Spacechek, the courageous Polish protagonist, is now Biff SpaceChest, Aryan super-soldier. That touching scene in the garden is now an exploding cruise ship.
Hollywood seems to love books, except for everything inside of them. But sometimes, when the stars align and the directors sync up just so ... sometimes they get it right. And some other times they get it so right that even the original author has to snap his or her fingers and go "Damn, that is way better than the crap I put down."
Warning: Massive spoilers ahead.
#5. The Mist Completely Changes the Ending
Dimension Films
Stephen King's 1980 novella The Mist was one of his more upbeat stories. Transdimensional monsters attack, and after a brief standoff, a man and his son flee, fearing society has fallen -- but then they turn on the radio and hear two words through the static: "Hartford" and "hope."
Carl Erwich/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Which edges out Maximum Overdrive for the craziest thing Stephen King has ever written.
So leave it to Hollywood to take the one happy ending the guy gives us and just shit all over it. In Frank Darabont's film, the man and his son drive from the supermarket with three others, and it again appears that monsters have taken over the world. But there's no message of hope here: The world, for all intents and purposes, seems to be gone. Rather than wait to be killed by monsters, the main character uses his last four bullets on his son and the other passengers. He then uselessly turns the empty gun on himself before exiting the car to face his death. Within seconds, a tank approaches -- the military has the situation under control and has begun to clear the mist. Our hero just killed his friends and his family for nothing.
Jesus Christ. How do you get to that from "Hartford" and "hope"? Sure, Hartford is rough, but it's not "put a bullet in your son to spare him the horror" rough. Reviewers found the new ending "ghastly" and "nihilistic," or at least "out of character." And Stephen King isn't an automatic shill for his movies: He said he hated Stanley Kubrick's classic The Shining for its changes. King successfully sued when another film drifted too far from his short story. And though he loved his other collaborations with Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile), he joked that the overly sentimental The Green Mile was "the first R-rated Hallmark Hall of Fame production."
So shit was about to go down in horror town, right? Darabont was going to wake up dead with a faded red sweater wrapped around his throat.
Or at the very least with a block of wood between his ankles.
Nope! King totally loved the changes and said he'd have used them himself if he had only thought of them first. When studios initially rejected Darabont's script, preferring the original story's "Pollyanna ending," King even personally intervened, explaining that horror fans actually like to be frightened and disturbed.
So tweak the death scene of a single Jack Nicholson, and make an enemy for life -- but have a father shoot his 8-year-old in the face, and you're invited over for drinks at the King estate. We probably shouldn't be surprised.
#4. Fight Club Emphasizes the Romance Angle
20th Century Fox
Chuck Palahniuk keeps writing best-sellers, but only two of them have come to the screen so far. His stuff is just too oddball for conventional Hollywood. Take Fight Club, for example: The movie cleaves pretty close to the source for most of the run-time, but goes off the rails toward the end. In the book, Tyler Durden's demolition plan fails; the narrator shoots himself to escape the fictitious Tyler and ends up in an asylum, which he mistakes for heaven. Sinister suggestions reveal that Project Mayhem will continue, now out of his control. That's about as bleak as you can get short of poppin' caps into third graders, but overall it's quite fitting with the dark and twisted nature of the novel. But in the movie? We close on the sight of buildings collapsing as the now mentally sound narrator and his love interest, Marla, hold hands. They beat the system and fell in love! Aww ...
It's the kind of cliched upbeat Hollywood tweak you'd expect a seriously twisted novelist like Palahniuk to despise, but he friggin' loved it! He thought the visual changes were magnificent. He lauded the way the movie streamlined the book's scattered plot into something coherent. In fact, Palahniuk was so impressed with the end results, he said he felt "sort of embarrassed of the book" compared to the movie.
And that ending? Palahniuk said he wanted to see the romance emphasized more the whole time. Not just because it would help sell tickets, but because of the book's true message: "The story is about a man reaching the point where he can commit to a woman." Apparently he was trying to write a romantic comedy the whole time and just accidentally tripped and fell down the uber-violent-demasculinization-uprising hole.
20th Century Fox
I am Jack's growing sense of emotional maturity and stability.
#3. Interview With the Vampire Casts Tom Cruise as the Villain
Warner Bros.
Anne Rice wrote vampire fuck fiction back before it was cool. Or, if you prefer, "Anne Rice wrote vampire fuck fiction back when it was still cool." Or, if you insist, "Anne Rice wrote Gothic fiction and erotica before the genres collapsed into the mess we have today." It was all the way back in 1976 when Rice first adapted her book Interview With the Vampire into a screenplay and sold the rights. She spent the next two decades battling with terrible Hollywood rewrites. One version tried to turn two of the homoerotic male characters into women, because two guys kissing is "gross." The little girl, Claudia, was to be switched out for an adult, because little girls getting killed -- even if they're undead monsters -- is just too depressing. In short, Hollywood tried to cut everything dark and sexual about the dark and sexual vampire book that built an audience mostly on its dark sexuality.
Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Luckily for them, later vampire books would already do this work for them.
By the time the 1994 film was in production, Rice had lost all faith in Hollywood. And then she found out about the casting of Tom Cruise as Lestat. Can you imagine? You write a strange underground horror novel and Hollywood takes your homoerotic undead sex-god and fills the role with Top Gun. Hope is dead, and the thing that lives in its place is a mockery that must be destroyed.
"It's almost impossible to imagine how it's going to work," Rice said of the decision.
We imagine they filtered out the profanities and sobbing.
Scott Gries/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
It was like that other movie where he had an impossible mission, Jerry Maguire.
Rice began openly badmouthing the film before she'd even seen it. She alluded to "bullshit and foolishness" that she couldn't even talk about and refused to attend any of the screenings. She wouldn't even look at clips. One of the producers had to send her a copy on tape and insist that she watch it at home. She put it in her VCR and settled down to watch -- but only after locking all the sharp objects away and putting herself on suicide watch.
Then the movie started, and Rice exploded with fangirl joy. She loved it so much, she wrote an 8,000-word open letter to her readers describing it as "perfect," "impeccable," and "extraordinary." The cast was "marvelous," "magical," and "magnificent and flawless." Rice thought Cruise's Lestat, whom she had initially doubted to the point of bloodlust, would "be remembered the way Olivier's Hamlet is remembered." In fact, Rice was so overcome with love for the adaptation she had literally spent two decades despising that she personally paid for a two-page ad in several magazines to sing the film's praises.
Wow. That's not just reversing direction, that's turning around and burning everything in your original direction so that no human being may ever walk the path again.
Warner Bros.
And since this is Hollywood, they would naturally shit all over her feelings with the sequel.

I've read that squats and lunges are primarily Hamstring/Glute exercises. But I tend to feel them much more in my quads. Is this indicative of a form issue, or an imbalance in the strength of my quads vs hamstrings?
Sign up

The barbell squat is primarily a quadricep exercise. Secondary muscle groups include glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and even abs.
The best way to target your quads during a barbell squat is to keep your feet at shoulder width with your toes pointing out a little bit to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on your knees.
If you want to activate your glutes and hamstrings, take a wider stance and perform a deeper squat (to parallel or just below). I wouldn't recommend going any lower than that until your know that your form is really nailed down. Performing a full squat (hamstrings touching your calves) with improper form can put a lot of strain on your knees.
Lunges usually activate your glutes a lot more than a standard barbell squat, but it depends on how you perform them. If you're not feeling glute activation and you want to feel it more, there are two things you can experiment with:
If you are really looking into building your hamstrings and glutes though, you should look into performing Romanian Deadlifts.
Shorter stride lunges actually work the hip/glutes more.It is a common,broscience miscoception that a wider stride targets the glutes more.Thats nonsense.A shorter stride lunge involves far more biomechanical involvement of the hips and glutes.

The 7 Most Insane Things People Have Done While Sleepwalking
#3. Jump Out of a Window
In 2007, a German teenager threw himself out of a fourth story window--contrary to what German windows have been designed for, which is appreciating the stark and efficient view of your surroundings. When good German citizens rushed to the scene, they noticed the 17-year-old was still sleeping. Not knocked unconscious, but peacefully asleep despite his broken arm and broken leg.
Experts believe most such incidents in that country involve people reeling back in terror from viewing German porn, but that was clearly not the case here as no one can sleep after watching German porn. No, the boy had been sleepwalking and just climbed out of the damned window, possibly while dreaming of escaping German porn.
It's really fucked up.
Comedian Mike Birbiglia had a similar experience where, dreaming that a guided missile was heading for him, threw himself out of a closed window in his hotel room. Not the kind of guy who gives up easily, he actually got up from the glass-covered parking lot and started running. While asleep.
At some point, Birbiglia realized what was happening and jogged to a hospital where he had to get 30 stitches to repair the damage from the window dive. Having a good sense of humor about his condition, Birbiglia started a one-man show called "Sleepwalk With Me."
He now has to take a powerful sedative and sleeps in a sleeping bag with mittens on his hands, which will probably be fine until he dreams he's being eaten by a huge slug.
#2. Record an Album
Dion McGregor wanted to be a songwriter, but his biggest contribution to music was writing a song that was once recorded by Barbra Streisand, which is like wanting to be a doctor but only having the ability to treat rectal warts. Or cause them.
Dion McGregor: The Dream Master.
Anyway, he also had the habit of talking in his sleep, and not in that way you sleepily mumble some incoherent thing when you "accidentally" touch a girl's boob at a party at 4am after everyone passed out. This guy would clearly and succinctly narrate his dreams in a conversational tone.
His roommate, being a complete dick, decided to record the darkest parts of McGregor's psyche for shits and giggles. Together they released the album because it was the 60s and people just did stuff like that.
The risque stuff was recently released by Torpor Vigil Records, and you can catch some of McGregor's more eloquent somniloquy prose on his MySpace page. But be forewarned, this audio is not for those at work or the easily influenced. McGregor detailed the finer points of shoving fruit up one's ass (or other orifices depending on your gender) and swinging from boobs like Tarzan.
All judgment aside, who amongst us hasn't had dreams about jamming a mango up someone's ass?
#1. Commit Many Horrible Crimes
We have previously chronicled the story of Kenneth Parks, a man who committed a brutal murder, then claimed he was asleep when he did it. This defense, already seeming pretty retarded on the surface, gets stupider when you realize the murder required him to walk to his car, start it and drive 14 miles to the victim's house. All while asleep.
You could say this man was driven. (Wait, no, don't fire me!)
Yet, when experts were brought in, they agreed with him. The man was not only acquitted, but recently ran for his local school board.
But Parks is far from the only one to use both the "I did it all in my sleep!" defense, and prove it to be true. In fact, it's a tradition that goes back more than 150 years.
Think that shit would fly now?
There was a case back in the 1870s where a man at a hotel drew a gun, screamed "HOO-WEE!!!" over and over again, then shot a hotel employee dead. He was convicted, but got it overturned when he convinced a jury he had been asleep the whole time.
But the strangest case is also one of the first. In 1846, Albert Tirrell nearly beheaded a prostitute in Boston, set fire to the freaking brothel, then fled to New Orleans... all while asleep.
That's what he claimed, anyway. Again, at what point did he wake up? During the murder? The fire? The trip to the Big Easy? The argument that it had all been one, big, sleepy misunderstanding was strong enough that the court acquitted him.
Yeah, we're thinking courts were way more trusting back then.

The font itself will be a black Century Gothic with a white stroke. I could just type in the alphabet and apply a Stroke effect, but this wont ensure equal spacings.
What could be the best way to create such a bitmap font? (Or if any exists already just tell me)

New Efforts to Shorten the Car-Buying Process
"Let me run that by my manager."
To minimize the use of that shopworn delaying tactic—and other haggling strategies that can drag out the car-buying process—more companies are experimenting with ways to slice the time consumers spend in vehicle showrooms.
Their tools range from mobile devices that can calculate a car's trade-in value in the parking lot to expanded call centers to handle rising traffic from smartphone shoppers.
Despite the long-standing promise of the Internet to streamline a vehicle purchase, it still takes two to three hours, on average, for a consumer to negotiate a new-car deal, hammer out financing and get enough training on a vehicle's technology to safely drive home, according to industry officials and researchers. Market research firm J.D. Power and Associates says new-car buyers spent 12.5% more time negotiating at showrooms last year than in 2010—even though more than 80% of buyers have already spent an average of 18 hours online researching models and prices, according to Google Inc. data.
AutoNation Inc., AN 1.14 % the largest dealership chain in the U.S., says it is rolling out a new pricing strategy that will base selling prices not on the manufacturer's suggested retail price printed on the car-window sticker, but on current market data. New software will also allow salespeople to quickly present a menu of financing or leasing options. The company's goal: to cut transaction times in half.
AutoNation's Chief Executive Mike Jackson says customers are more price savvy than ever. "They've all done their homework," he says. "They don't want to step into a process designed for the village idiot."
Dealers say they're still learning how digitally savvy customers behave—which can sometimes involve more traditional channels. Group1 Automotive, a national dealership chain based in Houston, is gearing up to open a big call center to help people who shop on their smartphones. The company, which says it saw a 14% increase in phone information requests in 2012 over the year before, says the agents will speed smartphone callers to the nearest local dealer.
Rick Gibbs, chief executive of Dealer.com, which sells eCommerce software to car retailers, says more dealers are moving away from writing price offers on paper, and instead adopting digital "pencil tools." These software systems enable sales people to use an iPad program to quickly adjust variables such as the trade-in value of a used car or a down payment. That information can also be relayed to a sales manager, potentially eliminating some of the time wasted by sales people running back and forth to superiors to vet an offer.
Other parts of the negotiation can be streamlined as well. At Prestige Volvo in East Hanover, N.J., owner Matt Haiken says he equips his salespeople with software that can appraise a customer's trade-in vehicle by scanning the vehicle identification number into a system that links to regional pricing data for that vehicle.
A growing number of consumers are opting to reduce the time spent buying a car by outsourcing the bargaining process. Costco Wholesale Corp. COST 0.12 % , the big warehouse-club retailer, says 87,000 people in December asked for referrals to dealers through its car-buying service. The 2,700 dealers in Costco's network agree to sell at a discount—although Costco doesn't tell customers the price before they go to a showroom.
Truecar.com, a shopping site that operates car-buying clubs for Consumer Reports and other organizations, gives users online access to up to three price offers from dealers.
Mike Cavanaugh, 50, a biotechnology executive from Thousand Oaks, Calif., says he bought an Infiniti G37 from a dealer who had given him a quote through Truecar. Once he got to the showroom, he says it took just half an hour, "with small talk," to close the deal.
"I knew exactly what I wanted—the color and the options. The salesman said, 'I have two on the lot.' It was no hassle," he says. His previous car purchase, he says, "was probably a good hour and a half to two hours of back-and-forth negotiation."
One worry for consumers confronted with "no-haggle" pricing is that they will pay more than they should. While possible, the increasing accuracy of pricing information available online is narrowing the gap between the highest selling price a dealer can get for a car and the market average. Data compiled by Truecar shows that gap narrowing to $1,203 in 2013 from $2,361 in 2000—roughly the dawn of the e-commerce era. Truecar CEO Scott Painter predicts that by 2020, price transparency in the auto industry will have narrowed the price ranges for new-car transactions to the point where the customer who pays the most only pays $172 more than average.
