This invention relates to paper stackers, more particularly, to a passive paper stacker for handling large quantities of Z-fold paper stock.
Many printers employ continuous webs of paper known as "Z-fold" paper stock for large print jobs. A box of Z-fold paper often contains 2000-3000 sheets, depending upon the paper weight. Prior art stackers have, in the main, been only able to stack 400-500 sheets of such Z-fold stock before allowing the remainder to spill onto the floor.
Prior art stackers also have allowed the paper to pass too close to the back of the printer where a static charge build up could occur. Such static charge caused the paper to adhere to the back of the machine and impeded its proper stacking.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,031 to Gysling et al., assigned to the same assignee as this application, a passive paper stacker is shown wherein paper output from a printer is guided by an exit ramp toward a base, where the paper is automatically stacked. The base includes a starter ramp for automatically positioning a first page of the paper to permit orderly stacking of later pages. A set of paper-fold "dive-arrestors" are employed to catch diving folds and redirect then towards their proper position on the stack of paper. The operation of the dive arrestor, however, may force the paper into contact with the surface of the printer, where a static charge can be acquired that hinders the paper's stacking. Further, once the paper stack reaches the bottommost edge of the dive arrestors, the paper no longer is able to stack in an orderly manner.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a passive paper stacker particularly adapted to handling large quantities of Z-fold paper stock.
It is another object of this invention to provide a passive paper stacker that has the capability to properly stack up to 3000 sheets of Z-fold paper.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a passive paper stacker for a printer which is constructed to avoid the occurrence of static charge build up as paper is being stacked.
A passive paper stacker for a printer is disclosed which is able to stack a series of pages of a Z-fold paper web, each page having a length L and a width W. The stacker includes a tray that extends from a surface of the printer. The paper web, as it exits from the printer intersects that surface. A ramp is provided to receive the paper web and has both proximal and distal ends, the proximal end receiving the paper web as it exits from the printer and the distal end positioned closer to the tray than the proximal end and at a distance from the printer surface that is at least equal to L/2. First and second sets of chains define a paper web fall path from the distal end of the ramp to the base. The first set of chains are positioned between the distal end of the ramp and the printer surface and the second set of chains are positioned so as to place the distal end of the ramp between the second set of chains and the printer surface. A basket is positioned on the tray and receives the paper web. The basket and chains prevent the web from contacting the printer surface and obtaining a static charge.

FIG. 6A is an expanded view of a portion of FIG. 6.
Referring now to FIGS. 1-3, a printer 10 is provided with both a stand 12 and a print mechanism 14. Within stand 12 is a space for storing a stack of Z-fold paper from where it can be fed into print mechanism 14. After printing, the Z-fold paper exits from print mechanism 14 via an opening 18 (see FIG. 2). A tilted paper ramp 20 has a proximal end 22 positioned immediately adjacent opening 18 and a distal end 24 over which the paper passes as it falls downwardly towards a tray 26. At distal end 24 of paper ramp 20 is positioned (See FIG. 3) a static discharge brush 25 that contacts Z-fold paper 40 as it passes over the lip of the paper ramp.
A sound shroud 28 encompasses paper ramp 20 and a forms breaker 30 (see FIG. 3). Forms breaker 30 is oriented parallel to the lip of distal end 24 of paper ramp 20. Forms breaker 30 comprises a sheet material that hangs down from a bracket 32 and has a weight 34 attached to its lowermost portion. Forms breaker 30 may comprise any antistatic material, however it is preferred that it be a mylar sheet having a grounded conductive coating, to enable static discharge.
Forms breaker 30 forces paper web 40 to "break" at perforations between pages in the Z-fold web. Furthermore, to the extent that web 40 kinks or otherwise becomes non-planar across the lip of distal end 24 of ramp 20, forms breaker 30 will restore its planar configuration as it forces web 40 to traverse downwardly towards base 26.
Each individual sheet of paper in web 40 has a length L and a width (not shown) W. It is important that distal end 24 of paper ramp 20 be positioned a distance that is at least L/2 or greater from surface 42 of printer 10. This enables the folds of web 40 to fall to tray 26 and not touch surface 42. As a result, there is no static charge transfer from surface 42 to paper web 40.
Two sets of chains 44 and 46, respectively, define a paper web fall path between the distal end 24 of paper ramp 20 and tray 26. An external set of chains 46 comprise a pair of outer chains 48 and 50 positioned apart by a distance less than W and a pair of lesser length inner chains 52 and 54. Each of those chains extends downwardly from the outer wall of sound shroud 28. A similar set of internal chains 44 extend down from approximately the mid-point of the underside of paper tray 20.
Internal and external sets of chains 44 and 46 prevent the paper web from billowing out as it falls and also catch the edges of the paper folds to aid in forming a stack. Each of the individual chains is preferably a ball type chain structure so that the spaces between the balls catches the paper edges. The lesser length inner chains constrain the paper web fall path when the paper stack approaches the bottom thereof. Thus, as the paper stack builds up to the level of the longer chains i.e. 48 and 50 (and corresponding chains in chain set 44), the outer chains confine the paper stack. However, as the height increases of the stack of folded paper, inner chains 52 and 54 come into play and add to the constraining action exerted by outer chains 48 and 50 (as do like chains in chain set 44).
A paper stacking basket 60 is placed on tray 26 below the paper fall path and is comprised of three parts. As shown in FIG. 2, a separate backstop 62 is formed of an L-shaped set of metal or plastic rods and sits directly on tray 26. A bar magnet 64 maintains backstop 62 in place, once it is properly positioned on tray 26. The remainder of basket 60 comprises right and left portions of 66 and 68. Each portion includes a planar side that is integral with front and bottom half-sides, respectively. Bars 69 which run along the bottom half-sides are slidably engaged so that the distance between portions 66 and 68 can be adjusted by simply sliding bars 69 apart or pushing them together. It is preferred, that when basket portions 66 and 68 are pushed together, that an opening 70 remain therebetween so as to enable hand access to the front side of a paper stack.
As can be seen from FIG. 3, when basket 60 is in place on tray 26, it sits on feet pairs 72 and 74. Those feet allow the bottom portion of backstop 62 to slide beneath the lower surface of basket 60, to thereby complete its rear side. A pair of handles 76 and 78 are positioned off-center from portions 68 and 66 so that when basket 60 is lifted off tray 26, the basket tips rearwardly thereby causing any paper stack therein to press against the front side of the basket.
A forms break 80 may be placed in the bottom of basket 60 and oriented back to front or sideways, depending upon the size and weight of the paper web. Forms break 80 forces the paper web into an inverse arch to prevent early failure of the stack due to its building too fast at the edges.
Referring now to FIGS. 4-6, ruled indicators are placed at critical points on the printer to assure a straight-through feed of the Z-fold paper web. In FIG. 4, the top cover of print mechanism 14 has been raised, exposing the left hand portion of the paper movement tractor. In FIG. 4A, the left tractor is shown which is movable both to the right and to the left, in dependence upon the width of paper web 102.
Tractor mechanism 100 is driven by a rotatable splined shaft 104. A ruled indicator 106 is placed directly above tractor mechanism 100 and indicates the position of the leftmost edge of paper web 102. It is the position on indicator 106 that controls the placement position of both the original paper stack within stand 12 and the placement of basket 60.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 5A, door 108 (see FIG. 1) has been opened showing an initial stack of Z-fold paper 110. A ruled indicator 112, which is aligned with ruled indicator 106, is placed beneath stack 110 and indicates where the stack's leftmost edge should reside (based upon the position of paper web 102 with respect to ruled indicator 106).
Next, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 6A, an additional ruled indicator 114 is placed along the frontmost portion of tray 26. When paper basket 60 is placed on tray 26, its rightmost edge should be aligned so that it will not interfere with a paper stack whose leftmost edge has been aligned as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. In other words, the edge of basket 60 should extend further to the right of the "4" marking, so as to provide clearance for the paper stack. Each of ruled indicators 106, 112 and 114 is aligned during the manufacture of the printer to positionally conform and enable a straight-through paper feed path, when the above-described alignments are accomplished.
It should be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the invention. Various alternatives and modifications can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances which fall within the scope of the appended claims.

As part of my prep for the talk we give at JavaOne 2012, I built a WebSocket app using JavaFX 2.2 front-end with NetBeans 7.2 and the brand new JavaFX Scene Builder 1.0.
The tools were a pleasant surprise, they were pretty straight-forward to use. Most of the Oracle tutorials were helpful too, although I couldn't find signs of an active and extensive JavaFX developer community out there.
The app I wanted to build consumes the same data source as the lightning fast Kaazing portfolio demo.
This video demonstrates what it looks like in the development environment, as well as running, side-by-side with the aforementioned JavaScript implementation of the Kaazing portfolio demo.
Step 1 – Creating a JavaFX App
First, I created a new project: JavaFX > JavaFX FXML Application.
Step 2 – Defining the UI
Then, using the new JavaFX Scene Builder, I created the grid layout I wanted to render. The JavaFX Scene Builder can be invoked by double-clicking on your fxml file in NetBeans. If you want to edit the XML in NetBeans directly, there's a context menu that allows you to do so.
On the next page you'll find the source for my Sample.fxml file.

We merely released our first AMD890GX motherboard review a couple of days ago, and the new chipset is well received. But of course there are many more ODMs out there that have been preparing a new board based on the 890GX chipset from AMD. Today we'll have a look at an offering from ASUS, namely the M4A89GTD Pro USB3. A motherboard carrying that new SATA6G controller and sure ASUS dropped a USB 3.0 controller onto this model as well.

Assistant Professor
Computer Science Department
Carnegie Mellon University
I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, joining fall 2016. I am a member of the Principles of Programming group and affiliated with the Pure and Applied Logic program. I also have an affiliate appointment in CMU's Computational Biology Department.
I received my PhD from MIT in 2015 and my bachelor's degree from Harvard in 2008. During the 2015-2016 academic year I am visiting the Fontana Lab at Harvard Medical School.
Along with new faculty members Matt Fredrikson and Jan Hoffmann, I am actively looking for PhD students. You may read more about my research plans here.
More and more people are programming: not only those with traditional Computer Science backgrounds, but also physical scientists, journalists, and more. We have an unprecedented opportunity to shape how people reason about software--and the systems that people do not yet call software. The goal of my research is to make provable guarantees ubiquitous. I am interested in designing programming models, language implementation strategies, and programming tools to make it easier for people to create the software they intended. Application domains of interest include security, privacy, and biological modeling.
Public understanding and consumption determine the impact of research. Because of this, I am interested in improving science communication and facilitating commercialization of technical ideas. From 2013-2015 I co-directed NeuWrite Boston, a working group of scientists and science writers. To narrow the gap between academia and industry, I co-founded the Cybersecurity Factory, an accelerator for security startups.
|I presented our paper "Precise, Dynamic Information Flow for Database-Backed Applications" at PLDI 2016. Slides here in pptx and pdf!
|I gave the high school commencement speech at my alma mater, The Ellis School. You may read the text here.
|I will be teaching 15-819, Advanced Topics in Programming Languages: Domain-Specific Languages, fall 2016.
|I spoke at the Philly Emerging Technology for the Enterprise Conference about securing software by construction. Slides here!
|I am co-chairing the POPL 2017 Artifact Evaluation Committee with Stephen Chong.
|Frank Wang and I are running our accelerator Cybersecurity Factory, which we piloted last year, again this summer in Cambridge. Here we are in BostInno, The Boston Globe, Fortune, and Wired.
Technology is a powerful social tool. Astra Taylor writes that "programmers and the corporate officers who employ them are the new urban planners, shaping the virtual frontier into the spaces we occupy." Everyone, regardless of their background, should have the opportunity to contribute to shaping this frontier.
Towards this, I started Graduate Women at MIT during my PhD and am generally interested in encouraging more women and underrepresented groups to pursue technology as a career. I feel honored to have a chapter about me in Andi Diehn's Cool Women Who Code book to encourage young girls to learn to code.
Also interested in creating more positive, supportive workplace environments, I started the Positivity@MIT project.
It is now fashionable to have such a section on one's website.

Briskman Briskman & Greenberg Attorney Remarks on Truck Accident Case
Chicago, IL (Law Firm Newswire) May 21, 2014 – In January, a truck driver's semitrailer crashed on Interstate 88 in Aurora, causing the death of an Illinois Tollway worker and serious injuries to a state trooper.
Renato Velasquez was charged with operating a commercial vehicle while fatigued or impaired, driving beyond the legal time limits for truckers and with falsifying driving records -- all felonies. The driver had worked for 37 straight hours, but his attorney denied that sleepiness was a factor in the crash.
"Fatigue is often a factor in truck accidents," says Paul Greenberg, a Chicago truck accident attorney not involved in the case. "Unfortunately, because truck accidents are far more likely to cause death or serious injury than other motor vehicle collisions, driver fatigue is an important public health issue."
According to prosecutors, Velasquez started his shift at approximately 8 a.m. on January 26, loading his truck in preparation for an afternoon haul to Nebraska. Prosecutors further claim that the driver made a stop in Iowa on the return trip to pick up cargo before heading back home. The accident occurred at approximately 9:45 p.m. on January 27.
Authorities said that the driver told them he had slept only three hours during the trip.
Illinois State Trooper Douglas J. Balder had stopped in the right-hand lane and shoulder of I-88 to help with a semitrailer that had broken down. Vincent Petrella, a tollway worker, was on the scene to help direct traffic away from the vehicles. Petrella was killed in the crash, and Balder suffered a broken shoulder, broken ribs and third-degree burns.
According to the truck driver's attorney, the crash was not caused by sleepiness. He said that another semitrailer in the right-hand lane was blocking the view of the stopped vehicles, and that by the time that truck merged out of the way, there was no time for Velasquez to do the same.
According to police, Velasquez was employed by DND International Inc., a Naperville company. Records from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration show that in the last two years, drivers from the company were placed out of service 9.7 percent of the time after random inspections. The national average is 5.51 percent.

A few changes in the Lakers' ritual
The Lakers used to stand until the first player scored a basket. Now, it seems the team has altered its early game ritual to include a few cross-leg dance steps.
Watch out, Dancing With the Stars!
After questioning several players about the origin, Luke Walton finally fessed up to planning the "dance." It apparently is an ode to a scene in the movie "Major League."

[PATCH 0/6] ipxe: update roms
Hi, Here comes ipxe update for qemu 2.7. It rebases the ipxe submodule to latest upstream master. We pick up support for virtio 1.0. Also a fix for a EFI bug which causes problems with recent edk2 versions. There are some more hickups due to network boot changes in edk2 which are not root-caused yet. They are present with both old and new ipxe versios, so we have at least no regressions here. But possibly we will need another (much smaller) bugfix ipxe update during freeze. This patch series also adds a boot rom for the new e1000e emulation and, while being at it, for vmxnet3 too. Patch 6/6 with the binary update has *not* been sent to the list as it is pretty big. If you want the prebuild roms for testing please fetch them from the git repository at: git://git.kraxel.org/qemu work/ipxe cheers, Gerd Gerd Hoffmann (6): ipxe: update submodule from 4e03af8ec to 041863191 ipxe: add e1000e rom ipxe: add vmxnet3 rom e1000e: add boot rom vmxnet3: add boot rom(Continue reading)

The following is a guest post by Matt Coffey, Marketing and Communications Manager for Wincourse Technologies Inc. Wincourse provides the construction industry with strategic technology services designed to help reduce IT management and support costs. This industry requires the latest in technology to stay competitive, reduce costs and increase efficiency. Wincourse's Cloud Solutions for construction allows your team to have access to all your information and applications in the office and on the job site. By partnering with Wincourse, you can work from Anywhere, Anytime, on Any Device!
The US National Institute of Science and Technology defines cloud computing as offering 5 essential characteristics: On-Demand Self Service, Broad Network Access, Resource Pooling, Rapid Elasticity, and Measured Service.
By migrating to the cloud, a business has the opportunity to have all of the information and process availability from anywhere, at any time, on any device.
Why is this important for the construction industry? Below are just three of the reasons you should be making the move.
1. Access.
It is important to be able to have all the correct information to make quick decisions and create reports. This isn't usually the case in the field. The cloud gives your team the opportunity to have all the required information available to everyone that needs it, when they need it.
From RFIs to updated drawings, the cloud will host all of this. Your contractors need to be able to easily collaborate with subcontractors, owners and architects. The ability to instantly get answers to questions and have all essential updates can make the difference in staying within a projects timeline and budget.
2. Flexibility.
The construction industry has a constant change of workforce and jobsites continuously across a wide area. Taking your business process to the cloud allows a seamless move from jobsite to jobsite, from employee to employee, and from the office to jobsite.
You are able to scale up or down when a project ends and begins, as well as when you bring on new team members. This flexibility saves you infrastructure costs that may rapidly increase or not even be used, depending on work load.
3. Collaboration.
Essential information has to get passed form the jobsite to the office and vice versa every day, usually to multiple locations. The cloud gives you the ability to have access to the necessary applications to keep everything updated, without having to go to the office.
In the past, simple tasks such as processing payroll, creating financial reports, invoicing and logistics had to be documented at each job site, then sent to the home office to be keyed into the system. With the cloud, your timesheet applications, Sage, Timberline, or whatever your application preference is can easily be accessed from anywhere, at any time, on any device.
More than many other industries, construction has a large amount of processes and documentation that follows from jobsite to jobsite and from the jobsite to the office. With teams working in a spread out area, with most of them using tablets and smartphones, moving to the cloud seems like a no brainer.
The key is to find a cloud service provider who has the experience and know-how to maximize your results.
Being inside a building during an earthquake is, at best, a little unsettling, but it's extremely difficult to measure the movement of an entire building. Last year, researchers at MIT were able to use slow motion cameras to visualize how much a tower crane moved during normal conditions, which gave insight into the stress a crane undergoes. Measuring the effects of an earthquake is a little trickier, so the US Geological Survey (USGS) had to get a little creative to capture it.
The 2016 nomination ballot for Construction Junkie's Best Construction Podcast of 2016 has officially closed and now it's time for the fun part: the voting! If you haven't listened to these construction podcasts before (or any podcast for that matter), we definitely encourage you to give these 4 finalists a shot. If you want to check out a couple more options, take a look at our 2015 contest results by clicking here.
Back in June of 2015, Dubai announced their plans to design and build the World's first fully functional 3D printed office building. On May 23, 2016, that office building has officially opened, as announced by the Government of Dubai. The building was a part of Dubai's 3d Printing Strategy, which they hope will propel the country to World leader status in that arena
Alright Junkies, we need your help! Let us know what your favorite construction related podcast is by entering it into the form below! Last year, Cesar Abeid's Construction Industry Podcast took home the crown in our Inaugural contest. Only time will tell if he'll be able to repeat or if another podcast will prevail. Other nominees from last year's ballot were the Construction Citizen, the Contracting Coachcast, and Construction Leading Edge. Since the contest had ended, at least 2 other construction podcasts have entered the seen, including the ConTechTrio and Future Tradesman.
As technology and construction are mixing more and more, we have to start thinking of ways to protect our devices. Unlike tools and equipment, the plastic cases our phones and tablets are wrapped in can't handle much abuse, so the best technology in general may not be the best technology for the job site.
Accidents happen when you least expect them and many times they're caused by tools and equipment you use every day on the job. All it takes is a split second before disaster can strike, so every one of them counts. That's where technology can step in and prevent major injuries before they happen and that's exactly what Bosch is hoping to accomplish with the pending release of their new flesh detecting table saw.
It's no secret that it's much easier to create heat than to remove heat, which is probably why no one has created a "reverse microwave" yet. It's also one reason why there is only a small amount of clothing and accessories built around cooling people off outdoors, especially those who work in the construction industry. Sure, you can install some fans around the job site, but they only help workers when it's blowing directly at them. Now, a Japanese company is releasing their personal cooling jackets and hard hat fans to US customers and targeting the construction industry.
CONEXPO-CON/AGG is an internationally known convention that showcases the latest and greatest construction equipment and technologies every three years. Originally formed as CONEXPO in 1909, the event merged with the International Concrete and Aggregates show in 1996, thus the current hyphenated name. The next CONEXPO-CON/AGG will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada from March 7-11, 2017.
There are two very group mindsets in the construction industry right now: those who embrace technology and want to see more of it in construction and those who just want to build buildings the way they always have. One always has the latest smartphone, the other just wants a phone with buttons that can make calls. One wants to use drawing management apps, the other wants to carry around a hard copy set. One wants to store their documents in the cloud, the other wants to file their papers away in a cabinet. You get the idea and I'm sure you live it within your own company. Both systems work, but there is strong evidence that points to technology as a time and money saver.

HHS trio loads up on medals at Indoor Track Championships
February 28, 2014 at 11:05 am | Mobile Reader | Print
Bryce Robinson, Breanne Bias and Beau Robinson all medalled at LHSAA State Indoor Track Championships on Saturday.
Even though none of the three were able to bring home a state title, they did bring back two silver medals and a bronze medal.
Bias finished in second place in the triple jump with a best of 35 feet, 2 inches. Her finishing total was only 7.25 inches behind the top qualifier, Rebekah Markel of Lafayette.
Bias, who was visibly limping after the first couple of jumps, endured through the pain to bring a second place finish and a silver medal back to Hahnville.
The night was not over for the Tigers as the Robinson brothers were competing in the second to last event of the night, the 3200 meter run.
Bryce and Beau Robinson came in to the event as the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, respectively. The only runner ranked above them was freshman standout Eric Coston of St. Paul's.
The twins took an early lead and held it until Coston began to pull away with 800 meters left. Coston took the gold with a time of 9:36, and that left the twins to fight it out till the last lap. Beau passed Bryce to finish in second place with a time of 9:43. Bryce finished right behind him with a time of 9:45.
Although they battled each other hard on the track, once they were across the line the brothers hugged each other.
"I didn't push the pace as hard as I probably should have," Bryce said after the race. "I told Beau he ran a smart race."
After an outdoor track season last year that was spent recovering from injury, Beau was feeling good about his performances during the indoor season.
"I set a personal record of 10:00 in my sophomore year, and didn't really improve on that at all last year. To break that personal record by 10 seconds (9:50 at the LSU High School Qualifier), and then lower it again by another 7 seconds today felt really good," Beau said.
Although indoor track season is over, the work is just beginning as the Tigers will start their outdoor track season on March 13 at Chalmette.
The season ends with the outdoor championships in Baton Rouge on May 10.

Karl Goodhouse, 57, President of Clark Brands LLC, enjoyed gardening and the arts
Karl Edmund Goodhouse, 57, died at his Oak Park home on March 27, 2012. He had suffered over the past year from glioblastoma brain cancer. Born on March 6, 1955 in Torrington, Conn., to Gloria M. Goodhouse and the late Carl J. Goodhouse, he was an honors graduate of Davidson College in North Carolina, where he served as president of the Student Union, carrying out the responsibilities of coordinating and publicizing cultural programs at the college. He attended college in the South so he could play golf year-round, but during his four years at Davidson he stayed so involved in campus activities, he rarely found time to play even one round.
Mr. Goodhouse's professional career began as assistant public service and information officer for Mecklenburg County Government in Charlotte, N.C., and later was named editor of the Mecklenburg County Outlook Newsletter. He gravitated toward new interests and found himself in a business he dearly loved, the petroleum industry. As president of Clark Brands LLC and a man of integrity and character, he adopted the motto of a longtime friend and business associate: "One important measure of a man is: Did we leave a footprint? Did we help others? Did we make a difference?"
Dedicated and passionate about his work, he built a successful business with his co-workers. But his passions extended beyond work to his love of music, gardening, the arts, writing, golf and reading. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He had a love of poetry and an eye for pottery. He frequently would say to his wife, "I love you from here to the moon and the stars and back again," and to his family and friends he would say, "Have I told you how much I love you?" or "Do you know how much I love you?" He will never be forgotten and will surely be missed.
Karl Goodhouse is survived by his wife, Cynthia; his daughter, Bridgette Mann; his grandson, Dustin; his great-granddaughter, Faith; his brother, Robert C. (Margaret) Goodhouse; his nephews, Andrew (Karl's godson) and Alex (and their mother, Nancy A. Goodhouse); Oreo, the family cat; and numerous family members and friends.
A memorial service will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 4 at Cheney Mansion, 220 N. Euclid Ave in Oak Park.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to www.pawschicago.org or the charity of your choice.

When buying a car, it may be better to have a down payment rather than a trade in. A trade in offers convenience to the car buyer, since one can walk into a dealership with a used vehicle and walk out – or rather, drive out – with a brand-new automobile. But this convenience comes at a significant cost, since most buyers are likely to leave cash on the table by receiving less for their trade in than what it is worth. The dealer is likely to offer an even lower price if the trade in is from a car manufacturer that is different from the one the dealership represents.
The preferred course of action would be to sell the car privately before buying a replacement vehicle and using the sale proceeds as a down payment. But arranging for a private sale can be a time consuming and cumbersome process involving a number of steps. These include ensuring that the vehicle is sale worthy and advertising the sale, to making the car available for test drives and ensuring the full sale proceeds are received once the car is sold. The timing also has to be near perfect in a private sale, in order to avoid being without an automobile for an inordinately long time.
When comparing a trade in to a private sale, then, it boils down to how much the convenience factor is worth. Receiving a couple hundred dollars less for a trade in, as opposed to a private sale, may be well worth the hassle involved in the latter, for most people.
Regardless of whether the old car is being traded in or sold privately, the seller should have a good idea of what the vehicle is actually worth before coming up with a good price for it. Over-inflated expectations of the value of the car may result in reasonable offers being turned down, while inaccurately low estimates will hurt the seller's pocketbook. A number of online sites provide estimates for both trade ins and private sales.
In the end, it may be best to arrange a down payment rather than a trade in when buying a car. But if that is not possible and a trade in is the only option, do your research beforehand to obtain an estimate of the value of your vehicle. A few hours of research can save you hundreds – if not thousands – of dollars, by fetching you a better price for your trade in than a dealer's lowball offer.

Native son returns
Joshua Roman
Tulsa World
That Joshua Roman took up the cello at the tender age of 3 was the result of a battle of wills.
"My parents were supposed to let me choose which of two instruments I would play," Roman said during a recent telephone conversation. "But my dad sort of convinced me that the cello, which is what he wanted me to play, was a better choice than the violin, which my mother wanted.
"Of course, I have three siblings, all of whom play violin," he said, laughing. "So I guess Dad only won that one battle."
And given the rapidity with which this Oklahoma native is making his name as one of the rising stars of classical music, it's like that one such victory was more than enough.
Roman will be making his professional concert debut in his home state this Saturday as the guest artist of the Signature Symphony at Tulsa Community College.
He will perform the Cello Concerto by Miklos Rozsa, a composer best known for the music he wrote for such classic films as "A Double Life," "Spellbound" and "Ben-Hur," just to name the movies for which he won the Academy Award.
"It's not a piece that gets performed a lot," Roman said. "It's technically difficult (Rozsa wrote it for the cellist Janos Starker), and it takes a large orchestra to bring out all the tonal colors in the score.
"But it's a fun piece to play because it has a real dramatic, emotional quality to it — a real cinematic, epic excitement. At the same time, it has the classical structure you need to make it a solid piece of music."
Roman was born in Shawnee and grew up in Oklahoma City. But the family has strong ties to Tulsa. Several family members graduated from Oral Roberts University and Roman's sister, Kate Gungor, is a member of the Signature Symphony's violin section.
Roman's own academic career took him at age 16 to the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he earned his bachelor's degree in cello performance in 2004, and his master's in 2005.
One year later, at age 22, Roman won the principal cellist job with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra — the youngest principal player in that orchestra's history.
However, after two years with the orchestra, Roman set out on a career as a soloist. He has been in more or less constant demand since — the week before his Tulsa concert was spent performing three concerts with the San Francisco Symphony.
Roman also runs a chamber music series in Seattle called TownMusic, an eclectic, cutting-edge chamber music series. And Roman regularly posts on the Internet site YouTube his performances of etudes by David Popper — one a week, wherever he and his computer happen to be.
"It's all a part of making music accessible to the audience," he said. "And for me, 'accessibility' is really reaching out to people and pulling them in.
"It's something that can be realized in all kinds of ways. It can be talking about the music, to give people a better understanding of what they're going to hear. Or it can be performing in a venue like a bar or a club, where people feel more comfortable than they might in a traditional concert hall."

Volleyball opens season in Pontotoc
The volleyball season opened over the weekend, and for the first year program at New Albany, history was made in the team's second game of the day.
Facing Ackerman and H.W. Byers in a preseason tournament at Pontotoc, the Lady Bulldogs split on the day, falling to the Indians, 2-0 [25-9, 25-12] and shutting out the Lady Bears only a couple of hours later, 2-0 [25-20, 25-22], giving the school its historic first win.
"Their confidence is through the roof after this," New Albany Coach Lashay Ashford said. "I've been telling them it's all about serving. I've told them since day one, if you can't serve, it's hard to win a game; if you can receive a serve, it's hard to win a game. Now they see that serving is the key ingredient to winning a game, and today, I think, we missed three serves in a match, when we normally miss around 16 to 17."
The Lady Bulldogs scrimmaged in Corinth only a week ago. A humble experience for the team, they returned to they gym more focused.
"I've seen more determination and commitment in the last week," Ashford said. 'When they went to Corinth, it was an eye opening experience for them, so they came out in practice last week more determined to practice, because they see now what it is they need to do to be successful."
Among the group playing this year are four seniors, who want to not only learn a new sport in their final year at NAHS, but also to be as successful as possible.
"We've always done the same sports, and with this being something new, we figured we'd give it a try," Olivia Dumman said. "It's our senior year, so it's the last time to try and do as much as we can."
Dunnam serves as one of the team captains, along with junior Erin Michael Carter. Another senior filling an important role is Shannon Goode, who plays as the team's libero. As if that is not enough, Goode and several of her teammates are juggling two sports at once, also playing slow pitch softball this fall.
"They're going to work with us and allow us to do both, and they're going to give us a chance to do as much as we can for each team," she said. "Volleyball has been great so far, because it's helping to keep us in shape for all of our other sports."
And the duo admits it was an interesting experience over the summer, learning a new sport.
"It's all about angles and when to be in a certain place, so it's been fun to watch all of us come together and figure it out," Goode said.
Added Dunnam, "We're learning everyday. It's different, but it's been fun."
New Albany will next play at Tishomingo County on Monday.
