\section(Observational Data)  \subsection{Sample Selection}  We draw our obseravational data from Data Release 7 (DR7) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survay (SDSS), making use of derived data products from the NYU Value-Added Galactic Catalog (VAGC). The magnitudes from the NYU VAGC that we use have been k-corrected to z = 0.1 using the code Kcorrect. Additionally, we restrict ourselves to regions of SDSS where the spectroscopic completeness parameter FGOTMAIN exceeds 0.7. We also reject all galaxies with velocity errors greater than $\sqrt{2} \times 25$ km/s.
