Previous: File Variables, Up: Variables [Contents][Index]
Sometimes, you may wish to define the same set of local variables to all the files in a certain directory and its subdirectories, such as the directory tree of a large software project. This can be accomplished with directory-local variables.
The usual way to define directory-local variables is to put a file named .dir-locals.el20 in a directory. Whenever Emacs visits any file in that directory or any of its subdirectories, it will apply the directory-local variables specified in .dir-locals.el, as though they had been defined as file-local variables for that file (see File Variables). Emacs searches for .dir-locals.el starting in the directory of the visited file, and moving up the directory tree. To avoid slowdown, this search is skipped for remote files. If needed, the search can be extended for remote files by setting the variable enable-remote-dir-locals to t.
The .dir-locals.el file should hold a specially-constructed list, which maps major mode names (symbols) to alists (see Association Lists in The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual). Each alist entry consists of a variable name and the directory-local value to assign to that variable, when the specified major mode is enabled. Instead of a mode name, you can specify 'nil', which means that the alist applies to any mode; or you can specify a subdirectory name (a string), in which case the alist applies to all files in that subdirectory.
Here's an example of a .dir-locals.el file:
((nil . ((indent-tabs-mode . t) (fill-column . 80))) (c-mode . ((c-file-style . 'BSD') (subdirs . nil))) ('src/imported' . ((nil . ((change-log-default-name . 'ChangeLog.local'))))))
This sets 'indent-tabs-mode' and fill-column for any file
in the directory tree, and the indentation style for any C source
file. The special
subdirs element is not a variable, but a
special keyword which indicates that the C mode settings are only to
be applied in the current directory, not in any subdirectories.
Finally, it specifies a different ChangeLog file name for any
file in the src/imported subdirectory.
Instead of editing the .dir-locals.el file by hand, you can use the command M-x add-dir-local-variable. This prompts for a mode or subdirectory name, and for variable and value, and adds the entry defining the directory-local variable. M-x delete-dir-local-variable deletes an entry. M-x copy-file-locals-to-dir-locals copies the file-local variables in the current file into .dir-locals.el.
Another method of specifying directory-local variables is to define
a group of variables/value pairs in a directory class, using the
dir-locals-set-class-variables function; then, tell Emacs which
directories correspond to the class by using the
dir-locals-set-directory-class function. These function calls
normally go in your initialization file (see Init File). This
method is useful when you can't put .dir-locals.el in a
directory for some reason. For example, you could apply settings to
an unwritable directory this way:
(dir-locals-set-class-variables 'unwritable-directory '((nil . ((some-useful-setting . value))))) (dir-locals-set-directory-class '/usr/include/' 'unwritable-directory)
If a variable has both a directory-local and file-local value specified, the file-local value takes effect. Unsafe directory-local variables are handled in the same way as unsafe file-local variables (see Safe File Variables).
Directory-local variables also take effect in certain buffers that do not visit a file directly but perform work within a directory, such as Dired buffers (see Dired).
On MS-DOS, the name of this file should be _dir-locals.el, due to limitations of the DOS filesystems. If the filesystem is limited to 8+3 file names, the name of the file will be truncated by the OS to _dir-loc.el.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Many of the top high school underclass prospects from across North America are prepared to take over the five fields at the Boston Red Sox Player Development 5-Plex and at least one at Terry Park Wednesday through Friday (Dec. 28-30) for the 10th annual Perfect Game National Underclass Showcase-Main Event.
Throughout its history, this showcase has hosted the top underclass prospects from all 50 states, Puerto Rico and five foreign countries, all of whom were given the opportunity to perform in front of Major League Baseball's extensive scouting community. This year's event welcomes the top players from the high school classes of 2013 and 2014, and even some select 2015s.
Among the more high-profile 2013s that will be attending are left-handed hitting third baseman Justin Williams from Houma, La., Josh Hart from Lilburn, GA and infielder and right-hander Wesley Jones from Lithonia, Ga.
Williams is the No. 18 nationally ranked prospect in the 2013 class and has verbally committed to LSU. At 6-feet-2, 207 pounds, he was on the Top Prospect List at the 2011 Perfect Game Junior National Showcase.
Jones and Hart are returning to the PG National Underclass Showcase-Main Event for the second straight year and were put on the Top Prospect List last year as a sophomore.
Florida right-hander Ethan Walker, Louisiana infielder Greg Deichmann and Georgia outfielder/first baseman Kel Johnson are among the top 2014 prospects who have committed to the event.
Walker, a 6-4, 205-pounder, is ranked 35th nationally in his class. Deichmann (6-0, 175), named to the Top Prospect List at the 2011 South Underclass Showcase and an LSU commit, is right behind Walker at No. 36 in the rankings.
Johnson (6-4, 200) is ranked No. 41 nationally and will be attending his 11th Perfect Game event in just two years.
These are some of the current well known players, but the National Underclass Main Event always is where many top prospect make their initial mark on the prospect scene.
A lot of eyes will be trained on Dazmon Cameron, a class of 2015 outfielder from McDonough, Ga., who won't celebrate his 15th birthday until Jan. 15, 2012. Cameron, a part of the prestigious East Cobb Baseball organization, is the son of 17-year Major League Baseball veteran Mike Cameron.
The Perfect Game National Underclass Showcase-Main Event – the showcase held annually on Dec. 28-30 – boasts an impressive group of prominent alumni. Since its inception in 2002, the event provided a stage for 23 prospects who went on to become first round MLB draft picks. Nine of the first-rounders graduated to the big leagues, as have 20 other alumni selected in lower rounds.
Counted among those alumni are Atlanta Braves outfielder Jason Heyward, who participated in the event three times (2004, '05 and '06); Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer (2006); Cincinnati Reds right-handed starter Mat Latos (2004); Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen (2002); Boston Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia (2002); and Cleveland Indians right-handed closer Chris Perez (2002).

BEAUTY and the BUSINESS
I am a Plastic Surgeon with a recently released book on practice management. The book itself will serve as a static platform for a dynamic suite of consulting services which I will offer through this blog. I previously had another designer create a look but I am simply not happy with the results. I need something that will be much more catchy.
My target audience is the cosmetic medical audience consisting of doctors, nurses, and spa owners who are looking to either enter the elective world of aesthetic medicine in addition to those who are already there but want to improve their services. Many of these people are not incredibly web savvy and so I need a look and feel that promotes the incredible potential there is for this type of web presence but who also don't want to be intimidated by too flashy of a site. I want to demonstrate that I am current with web technology (e.g.: use of social media, multimedia, etc) and that I can help educate my readers as to how they can use this same technology to promote their business.
I am looking for a complete site re-design including the following:
-new, catchy header with incorporation of letterpress design
-menu buttons with graphic windows below the header (About Us, Services, Buy the Book)
-Two column with blog entries on the right
-Inclusion of FACEBOOK friends on the right column
-Different colors that are more eye-grabbing to the reader that are either taken from the cover or compliment it
-Drop cap lettering for first letter of each blog entry
-Double spacing for blog copy
-Photos for each blog posting that stretch across the width of the blog entry column
-Inclusion of modal boxes for each blog entry
-Media block at the top of the right column
-Creative social media buttons on right column (as well as pop-up buttons below each blog posting)
-Registration form for email newsletter on right column

Former FBI Agent, Missing for Four Years, Could Be Alive in Southwest Asia
Robert Levinson disappeared nearly four years ago in Iran.
March 3, 2011 -- New evidence has surfaced that former FBI agent Robert Levinson, who went missing on a popular Iranian resort island nearly four years ago, may still be alive, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said today.
"We have received recent indications that Bob is being held somewhere in southwest Asia," Clinton said in a brief statement.
Clinton provided no details on how the information was obtained or where exactly Levinson might be. But her statement marks the first public claim that the U.S. has discovered evidence Levinson could still be alive since his disappearance and the Levin family said they are "tremendously encouraged" by it.
"It has been almost four years since I have seen my beloved husband Robert Levinson," Christine Levinson wrote today on the website HelpBobLevinson.com. "Our family is tremendously encouraged by the news Bob is alive but remains concerned for his safety and well being.
"Our seven children, our two grandchildren, and I await the day we will be reunited," she said.
Clinton did not give any indication who may be holding Levinson, but asked the government of Iran for help in rescuing him.
"As the Government of Iran has previously offered its assistance in this matter, we respectfully request the Iranian government to undertake humanitarian efforts to safely return and reunite Bob with his family," she said. "We would appreciate the Iranian government's efforts in this matter."
A spokesman for the FBI was similarly vague with regard to the new information.
"This is an ongoing investigation. What is important is that we work to bring Bob Levinson home safely. His family misses him dearly and we remain concerned about his health given his struggle with diabetes," the spokesman said.
The U.S. State Department has repeatedly called on Iran to help locate Levinson, but has never said they believe him to be in Iran. One U.S. official briefed on the case told ABC News today investigators do not believe he is there, despite one senator's claim and WikiLeaks documents that support the theory.
During Secretary Clinton's confirmation hearing in January 2009, Senator Bill Nelson, a current member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Intelligence, said flatly, "We think he is being held by the government of Iran in a secret prison."
Wikileaks: Name 'Levinson' Spotted on Iranian Prison Door
The Telegraph of London newspaper reported last month on a secret US diplomatic cable, posted online public by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, that quotes an unidentified escaped prisoner who says he saw Levinson's name on a prison door in Iran.
The individual, who had been rounded up after the 2009 protests, is quoted as saying he saw the name "B. LEVINSON" on a door frame.
According to the Telegraph, the cable states, "He said that at the time he did not know who Levinson was and only after his release did he use the search engine Google to find that Levinson was a missing American citizen."
The cable says the prisoner was unable to provide current information about Levinson's wellbeing, but described the prison's terrible conditions and said it had the "smell of blood."
Levinson was last seen on March 9, 2007 on Iran's Kish Island where he traveled to work for a private investigative firm. He had left the FBI 10 years earlier. U.S. authorities say he was last seen checking into a hotel for a meeting.
For years, Iran has resisted American requests to investigate Levinson's disappearance, but they did allow his wife and son to travel to Iran in December 2007 to look into the matter. Iranian officials have said they have no evidence Levinson even entered the country.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in September 2010 he had no idea where Levinson might be.
"I think we should ask that question from the FBI," Ahmadinejad told CNN's Larry King. "How am I supposed to know? There are many individuals who come to our country and leave. He came and he left, as usual."

... while Ronaldo for our Obama ran a nonstop campaign for the first term of his presidency the campaign organization was up and running for four years this is sometimes known in politics as the permanent campaign ... but the sophisticated example this may not be in United States but in ... Ecuador ... here to discuss that with me is are America's columnist Mary Anastasia O'Grady ... Mary ... of Ecuador has an election coming up and its current president is ... now being described in his own country as running a permanent campaign and I take it it's not a compliment ... no ref Al Quran has been president since I'm he won election in the fall of two thousand sixty was a non carrying two thousandseven ... and from that moment when he was for some time period he has brown permanent campaign ... and I were to describe it well politicians ... in some sense are permanently campaigning rate that I think that that but Brock Obama and the case of RAF Amcor and they've taken into a new level ... and now a permanent campaign basically I'm in place the idea that ... you know you were opposition are your enemy is and you have to do and say what ever ... comes to ... paying in order to crush them so there's no kind in reaching across the aisle there's no governing its to Thursday announcing any body who ... at the postage ... well the sciences or has something to do with using ... public pressure against ... existing institutions I mean most countries you think of them having an executive branch the legislature records this Tom Gray on this um so this is a way to run around the meat eating institutions of the country was precisely and in being present and in an act would our core and did not like they had to add that there were limits to his power ... so rather then I faced a Congress where he did not have maturity ... he decided to just ... not address the people directly and in kind of get a mob rule going ... that would put so much pressure on the other institutions that he could just ... steamrolled the rule of law just go right over and ... then the number one thing you wanna do is to rewrite the Constitution ... he could not have a referendum ... on that with out that Congress approving it but he just ... ignore that law and use public pressure to hold a referendum he got his new constitution ... of reason is the question are going to another election could Maurice seventeenth that will be in some sense of democratically elected them but ... the outcome is apparently ... pre ordained ...

I haven't been spinning a whole lot of music lately, for some strange reason I have been getting a little bored with it all. Then I heard an old song on the radio the other day and it brought the passion back right away. So here's what's in my rotation right now…..
Extreme – s/t (1989): The old song I heard was 'Mutha (Don't Wanna Go To School Today)' and I went and pulled the CD from the racks and its been getting a daily spin or two. Good memories attached to this album, mostly old friends from high school, etc.
Rose Tattoo – Blood Brothers (2008): This album is still in the rotation but only when I walk the dog so its getting a daily spin. I wish I could do my best of 2008 list over again because I would slot this one high.
Saxon – Into the Labyrinth (2009): So far my album of the year!
The Cotton Soeterboek Band – Twisted (2008): Like an idiot, I've ignored this album even though it's been towards the top of the growing pile for months. This album is the reason why I love Rock music, it has that infectious groove to it that keeps you listening. Pure Classic Rock with a Blues base…..this is the kind of music I want to hear on the radio! It has a mid-'70s Rock sound and that's what makes it so fresh to me. Another album I'd like to get in that best of list if I could do it all over again.
In Shadows Reign – Phoenix (2008 demo): This young Norwegian Metal band was kind enough to send me their demo via email and I have been giving this some serious listens. I really like the guitar tone, it has a NWOBHM sound to it like old Iron Maiden, Diamond Head or Tygers Of Pan Tang.
Sepultura – A-lex (2009): I keep giving this some spins and I am still up in the air on this one. Not sure if I dig it or hate it. I've never been a big Sepultura fan but I seem to have all their releases…..go figure. A-LEX is a long record, maybe I'm just not getting it because there is so much?
Cornerstone – Head Over Heels (2008): A real good Rock album that has been in the pile too and I'm only getting to it now.
Axiom – A Means To An End (2008): Solid Progressive Metal album that has been in the pile for awhile but I have been spinning it a lot.
Motley Crue – Saints Of Los Angeles (2008): I'm going to see the Crue next Friday (3/13) at Mohegan Sun Arena so I've been gearing up with old Motley but I wanted to revisit SOLA because I wasn't too impressed when I gave it a lot of airplay over the summer. I was disappointed either so I need to give it another shot.

As the survivor of what's being called a pirate assault on Falcon Lake, Texas, recounts the harrowing ordeal that likely took her husband's life, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is leading calls for a tough US response to spillover violence from Mexico's bloody drug wars onto American soil.
The Falcon Lake attack, where three boats likely connected to the Zeta drug-running gang reportedly shot at 30-year-old David Hartley and his wife, Tiffany Hartley, while they rode personal watercraft, now threatens to become an international incident. On Tuesday the mother of Mr. Hartley begged US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to intervene in efforts to try to locate his still-missing body.
The pleas from the border came as authorities in Texas reported other evidence of Mexican drug violence in the US, including a bullet-riddled truck found on the US side of the border last week with the bodies of two Mexican nationals inside – an act of violence that Brownsville Police Chief Carlos Garcia described as a cartel-ordered "hit."
IN PICTURES: Mexico's drug war
"The larger significance of [the pirate attack] is whether it's an indicator of what we greatly fear, which is that violence would spill over [the US border] in a direct way," says Robert Chesney, a national security law expert at the University of Texas, in Austin.
President Obama sent 1,200 National Guard troops to the border earlier this year, and locals on Falcon Lake report a step-up in patrols of the US side of the 60-mile-long basin, which is part of the Rio Grande watershed and managed by a binational commission.
In the wake of the alleged attack on Falcon Lake, the US government has renewed warnings to boaters not to cross the midlake border, which is marked by concrete columns, to minimize risks of running into pirates.
Authorities report five incidents this year in which bass fishermen were either robbed at gunpoint or approached by pirates before escaping, including the most recent report where a boat marked with a misspelled "Game Wardin" tried to get close to fishermen, who grew suspicious and fled.
Attacks on Falcon Lake are likely a direct outcome of pressure on the cartels, both from law enforcement and competing drug gangs, that has pushed smugglers to diversify to supplement their incomes. The Zetas used to be the enforcers for the Gulf Coast Cartel before essentially staging a coup and taking over much of the cartel's drug-running.
Drug and human traffickers "are increasingly confrontational … which is illustrated by spillover violence," Governor Perry said in a statement on Monday. Perry urged the Obama administration to deploy weaponized drone airplanes to patrol the lake and the border.
With tears running down her face, Ms. Hartley described her Sept. 30 ordeal on NBC's "Today Show" on Tuesday. She said three boats approached her and her husband on the Mexican side of the lake, after the couple had visited the famous half-submerged church ruins at Old Guerrero.
The men in the boats, she said, opened fire on the couple and Mr. Hartley was struck in the back of the head. As bullets whizzed into the water, she said, she tried unsuccessfully to return to pick him up, but was forced to hightail it toward US waters. Eyewitnesses say the presumed pirates chased Hartley into the US section of the lake.
Mexican authorities on Tuesday raised questions about the veracity of Hartley's story. "We are not sure. We are not certain that the incident happened the way they are telling us," Marco Antonio Guerrero Carrizales, district attorney for the Miguel Aleman Province, said in a statement, according to CBS News.
The Mexican district attorney questioned why neither Hartley's body nor his Jet ski have been found. Hartley and some US authorities suggest the pirates may have carried off Hartley and his craft to hide the evidence.
"As far as we know, we don't think they have been looking. And there is – we understand the possibility that the people who did this probably have him. And that's why maybe they can't find him," Ms. Hartley said on the "Today Show."
The issue of spillover violence is a key link in the political debate over immigration reform in the US. Arizona officials have used the example of a slain rancher, kidnappings in Phoenix, and unconfirmed reports of headless bodies found in the desert to justify law enforcement crackdowns.
The US Department of Justice won a partial judgment against Arizona this summer, gutting a controversial new law that would have required residents to carry their immigration papers at all times in case a law enforcement officer wanted to take a look.
Drug violence in Mexico has claimed some 26,000 lives since 2006, mostly cartel members and police.
According to Professor Chesney, cartels have been careful not to involve the US in the drug war so as avoid drawing retaliation from their wary neighbor. Even though the Falcon Lake incident may not be evidence that Mexico's drug violence is seeping over the border in new ways, such incidents could ratchet up pressure on the Obama administration to act, he says.

Journalists gathered at the Courtyard Hotel in the heart of central London were treated to a video presentation of the new concept by Ronnie O'Sullivan plus a press conference featuring O'Sullivan, Power Snooker promoter Rod Gunner, Barry Hearn, ITV head of sport Niall Sloane and Maurice Kelly of Rileys Clubs.
Power Snooker consists of matches of 30 minutes duration where points count rather than frames. There are nine reds racked in a diamond formation. The middle red is a 'powerball' and if it is potted all points scored in the next two minutes are worth double.
Any balls potted from the 'powerzone' – baulk – are worth double. A century is worth 50 bonus points.
There is a 20 second limit per shot and the audience at the O2 arena are required to make noise, rather than remain silent.
Power Snooker is designed to appeal to a more youthful audience than the traditional game. Players will wear microphones to catch their reactions.
The field is expected to consist of O'Sullivan, Neil Robertson, Ali Carter, Ding Junhui, Shaun Murphy, Mark Selby, Jimmy White and Luca Brecel.
It will be screened live on October 30 in two four programmes on ITV4, marking ITV's return to snooker after nine years.
Gunner said that the plan was to stage a launch event and, if all goes well, have a global series taking in China, Europe, the Middle East and the USA with a grand finals in the UK.
So what do we make of all this, then?
It wasn't Hearn's idea but he is supporting it. "When Rod came to me with Power Snooker I was very receptive, as we should be to anything new," he said.
"I was excited that this could help bring a new, young audience to snooker, which the game needs."
However, Hearn stressed several times that Power Snooker was not designed to threaten the established form of snooker.
He said he had ring-fenced the 'crown jewels' – the World Championship, UK Championship and Masters – and left them immune to format changes.
O'Sullivan was less diplomatic. "I find the World Championship a bore," he said.
"I know it's the pinnacle of the sport and I've won it three times but 17 days in Sheffield is draining.
"People want to turn up, have a buzz and move on.
"Power Snooker is a challenge. It's the future of snooker. People have to realise it's the year 2010. We're not stuck in the 1970s any more."
Actually, Power Snooker is not intended to be the future of the game. It's a standalone concept that nevertheless dovetails with Hearn's ambitions to globalise the sport and better project the personalities of the players.
The truth is, Ronnie gets bored easily. Most things seem to bore him in the end. If he was playing Power Snooker every week it would bore him eventually.
That's just how he is. If I were promoting a tournament he'd be the first name on my list of players but PR isn't his thing.
I like Ronnie's honesty and willingness to just speak his mind but I don't agree with him. The World Championship remains a hugely popular sporting event because of the slow burning drama it generates.
As Hearn said, "it has created moments you couldn't buy. It isn't boring, it's just different to Power Snooker."
He added: "Ronnie's not out of leftfield. He's from somewhere else entirely. That's why I love him so much."
The first line of O'Sullivan's obituary will mention the number of world titles he has won. This remains the ultimate achievement of any player.
His glib comments may have overshadowed the launch, which is a shame because Gunner, who has a very successful background in the entertainment and marketing sector, is clearly a man with bags of enthusiasm and the resources to back it up.
"We want people to get into snooker through Power Snooker," Gunner said. "Twenty/20 cricket has encouraged people to watch Test matches and we hope to do similar."
Perhaps the most significant part of this whole enterprise is the return of ITV to the fold.
Sloane has worked with Hearn through the PDC Grand Slam of Darts, which brought a large audience to ITV4.
"I didn't need too much persuading," Sloane said. "Every sport needs to look at itself on a regular basis.
"The trick with reinvention is not to destroy what made it popular in the first place. We don't want to destroy the traditional game."
15 red snooker will always be my preferred version of snooker but I am not against any form of innovation if it gives the players more opportunities and raises the overall profile of the sport.
Not everyone will agree – and they are perfectly entitled not to – but I think people should at least watch Power Snooker and give it a chance.
And it's worth remembering that snooker only exists because other cue sports were changed and adapted.
100 years ago, billiard players regarded snooker as a fad that wouldn't last.
Well, the 'fad' has done pretty well for itself and it should be relaxed about genuine attempts such as this to expand its reach.
I'll leave the last word to Hearn, because he invariably has it.
"We live in a sh*t world," he said. "It's depressing. But every now and again you can do something to put the smiles back on people's faces. And life's always better when you smile."

How does mold spread?
For molds to grow and reproduce, they need a damp environment and an organic food source, such as cellulose, which is found in many building materials such as wood, drywall, ceiling tiles, and other household materials such as carpeting and fabrics. Mold can also grow in the HVAC system, roof, foundation, and other areas where the environment encourages mold growth.
What is mold?
Mold is a fungus that can be found both indoors and outdoors. No one knows how many species of mold exist, but estimates range from tens of thousands to even three hundred thousand, or more. Mold spreads and reproduces by creating spores. Spores can survive conditions that are too sunny, hot, cold, dry or wet for mold to grow. When spores are released they can be carried by air or water to new locations and cause new mold growth.
Is There a Difference Between Mold and Mildew?
With water damage claims on the rise, we hear a lot of talk these days about the dangers of mold. Within 24 to 48 hours of water damage, mildew and mold can start growing on wood products, tiles, drywall, carpets, fabrics an

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the smart socks — a device that was designed to prevent SIDS and measure the oxygen saturation level in the blood of infants. While that has a ways to go, I just saw a tweet about a new device designed to do the same thing, using a smart phone. It's called the iSpO2, and it's available for the iPhone and iPad.
The device isn't cheap — Amazon.com has it for over 250 dollars right now. However, most mHealth devices do require some sort of financial investement, at least the ones that mimic something in the doctor's office.
The website lists some different people that could benefit from using this device. It mentions high altitude sports participants and pilots. I thought these were interesting suggestions, since I probably would have just thought of people who were struggling to breathe, or infants. But I guess anyone can become hypoxic, especially those doing something at a high altitude. The site also states that the "only practical way to know if you are hypoxic or in danger of becoming hypoxic is to use a pulse oximeter." And since most people probably don't own one, and that's kind of scary (though, I'm sure there are physical symptoms that may indicate this.)
the iSpO2 monitor attaches to an iPhone or iPad through the charging port, and the oxygen saturation level and pulse rate is measured by placing a sensor on the users hand (not unlike one used in a doctor's office for children.) The levels are then displayed relatively quickly, and can be charted over time. At sea-level, a normal SpO2 level is between 95 and 100%.
Data can be emailed and downloaded, which is probably helpful for one reason or another. I'll be honest, I really want one of these devices — or the smart socks — because my son's SpO2 levels are often spotty at doctor's appointments (typically in the low 90s). But at the price, I probably won't be getting one for awhile. I'm hoping we'll see more devices like those coming out though in the future, there's definitely a need for them in my opinion — even if it's just for sporting and aviation.
The website does state that it isn't intended for medical use, but moreso for climbers, hikers, and pilots.

1988: Bears Defeat Eagles in "Fog Bowl"
Pro football games have been played in all sorts of weather conditions, and when it comes to the NFL postseason that has typically meant frigid temperatures and/or snow. The NFC Divisional playoff game on December 31, 1988 was distinctive, however, for the ghostly fog that enveloped the field during the second half and that resulted in the contest being referred to as "the Fog Bowl".
The host team, the Chicago Bears, had placed first in the NFC Central with a 12-4 record. Under Head Coach Mike Ditka, it was the fifth consecutive season that the club had won in double figures and included a championship in '85. Defense had been the key to Chicago's success, and while free agency and injuries had caused some damage, mainstays such as tackles Steve McMichael and Dan Hampton, LB Mike Singletary, and SS Dave Duerson were still around and the unit had allowed an NFL-low 215 points. Injury-prone QB Jim McMahon had gone down at midseason, but backup Mike Tomczak was competent in relief and third-year RB Neal Anderson generated 1106 yards on the ground.
The visiting Philadelphia Eagles, under third-year Head Coach Buddy Ryan (no stranger to the Bears, as he was the defensive coordinator during the Super Bowl season), had not been in the playoffs since 1981. They had won the NFC East with a 10-6 tally and featured a tough, blitz-heavy defense, led by DE Reggie White. The offense was directed by highly-mobile QB Randall Cunningham, who threw for a team-record 3808 yards and ran for 624. Rookie TE Keith Jackson (pictured at right) had an All-Pro season, catching 81 passes, and RB Keith Byars, a better receiver out of the backfield than runner from scrimmage, grabbed 72.
There was no clue at the game's commencement of what lay ahead. The weather at Chicago's Soldier Field was clear and temperatures were in the mid-30s at kickoff. The teams traded punts with the Bears scoring first, on their second possession. On a third-and-seven play, Tomczak connected with WR Dennis McKinnon for a 64-yard touchdown.
The Eagles came right back as Cunningham completed passes of 15 yards to WR Mike Quick and 17 to WR Cris Carter to the Chicago 33 yard line. But the drive stalled at the 25 and a 43-yard field goal attempt by Luis Zendejas missed to the left.
Philadelphia got a break, however, when Tomczak went to the air and was intercepted by LB Seth Joyner, giving the Eagles the ball at the Bears' 30. Following a run by FB Anthony Toney, an 18-yard pass play from Cunningham to Jackson got the ball down to the 11. But after advancing to the nine, two successive apparent touchdown passes were wiped out by holding penalties on Toney. The Eagles ended up with a 43-yard Zendejas field goal.
Now it was Chicago's turn to mount a drive, and thanks to two Tomczak completions to McKinnon of 14 and 22 yards, the Bears got to the Philadelphia 34. However, Kevin Butler's 51-yard field goal attempt fell short. The score was 7-3 at the end of the opening period.
The Eagles got another break in the second quarter when Chicago TE Cap Boso fumbled after catching a pass from Tomczak and FS Wes Hopkins recovered for Philadelphia at the Bears' 14. But on a third-and-seven play, Jackson dropped a pass in the end zone and the Eagles again had to settle for a 29-yard Zendejas field goal.
Chicago's next possession resulted in a four-yard touchdown run by Anderson that extended their lead to 14-6. It was 17-6 shortly thereafter as Butler kicked a 46-yard field goal. The Eagles got the ball back with just under two minutes remaining in the half, and a 65-yard pass play from Cunningham to Jackson got the ball down to the Chicago five. Once again, a penalty backed the Eagles up and they were unable to get a touchdown in the red zone. Zendejas kicked a 30-yard field goal and the score was 17-9 at halftime.
The first hints of the fog blowing in off of Lake Michigan arrived late in the second quarter, and during the third quarter the field was completely enveloped. For most of the 65,534 fans and the press box-level television cameras, the field was no longer visible, completely cut off by the fog. Referee Jim Tunney chose to continue the game, which was televised from this point by sideline cameras. While accounts vary as to visibility on the field, Tunney said afterward that "I felt the conditions, while not great, were still playable. I could see all 22 players from my position. I occasionally lost sight of the safety, but only for a second or two."
On the field, the Eagles took the second half kickoff and again drove deep into Chicago territory, but with the ball at the 11 yard line, Cunningham was intercepted by CB Vestee Jackson, who returned it 51 yards. This time it was the Bears coming up empty in scoring position as they drove to the Philadelphia 13 and Butler's 33-yard field goal attempt was no good when it hit the right upright.
Later in the third quarter, Eagles SS Terry Hoage intercepted a Tomczak pass to give Philadelphia excellent field position at the Chicago 17. But after three incompletions, Zendejas kicked his fourth field goal of the game, from 35 yards. The Bears, with Jim McMahon replacing the injured Tomczak, drove to a 27-yard Butler field goal early in the fourth quarter.
The Eagles had two more possessions, but were unable to score again. The last series, that made it to the Chicago 16, resulted in an interception by CB Maurice Douglass that was returned 47 yards, and from there the Bears were able to run out the clock and win by a score of 20-12.
Philadelphia outgained the Bears (430 yards to 341) and had the edge in first downs, 22 to 14. Chicago turned the ball over more times (4 to 3), but untimely penalties and the inability to score touchdowns proved fatal – likely moreso than the weather conditions. The Eagles were inside the Chicago 26 yard line 10 times and came away with just four field goals.
Mike Tomczak completed 10 of 20 passes for 172 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions. Dennis McKinnon caught four passes for 108 yards and a TD. RB Thomas Sanders rushed for 94 yards on 8 carries, while Neal Anderson ran the ball 14 times for 54 yards and a score.
Randall Cunningham (pictured above) threw 54 passes and completed 27 of them for 407 yards, but was picked off three times. Keith Byars caught 9 of those throws for 103 yards while Keith Jackson gained 142 yards on 7 receptions and Mike Quick added another 82 yards on 5 catches. The Eagles had just 52 yards on the ground, with Byars gaining 34 of them on 7 attempts.
How much did the fog affect the outcome? Said Randall Cunningham afterward, "The fog really affected what we wanted to do. If you took your ten-yard dropback, you could only see about fifteen yards."
Eagles owner Norman Braman, who left his seat in a luxury box for the sideline when it became impossible to see the action, said, "I was right there, and believe me, those officials wouldn't have known if there were 22 players on the field or 16."
But as Mike Ditka pointed out, "Half of the game was played in sunshine, and [the Eagles] couldn't get the ball in the end zone. If they can't score in the sunlight, that's not our fault."
Buddy Ryan added, "There was no reason for the game to be suspended. If this was a baseball game, maybe, but this is football, and you play the game no matter what the weather. The fog was on both sides of the line."
Mike Quick said simply, "We beat ourselves."
The Bears were handily defeated by the 49ers in the NFC Championship game. Philadelphia made it back to the playoffs in each of the next two seasons under Ryan, but failed to win any games. Many Eagles fans believed long afterward that the club's best chance of making a Super Bowl run during this particular era disappeared in the fog at Soldier Field.
"I worked three Super Bowls, but I get more questions about the 'Fog Bowl' than any of the Super Bowls," said Jim Tunney, the referee who kept the game going. "I still think we did the right thing."

As this issue of Reason & Revelation went to press, huge portions of numerous states along the Ohio River and its tributaries were experiencing some of the worst flooding in their history. Portions of many cities—indeed, whole counties—stood covered with water measured not in inches, but in feet. Numerous people had to be evacuated from their homes; still others lost both their property and their lives. The President of the United States declared certain sections of the country as disaster areas, thereby providing federal assistance to help the thousands of people who sustained terrible losses.
It is rare, it seems, for a single generation within a given locale to be spared at least some kind of disaster. Without warning, tornadoes sweep down from the afternoon sky and destroy in a moment's fury what took decades or centuries to build. Floods cover old home places, and in the process remove forever any vestige of what were storehouses of hallowed memories. In a matter of a few seconds, earthquakes irreparably alter cherished, once-familiar landscapes. Hurricanes come from the sea, demolishing practically everything in their paths, and then dissipate as if they never had existed. Each time humanity suffers. And each time there are those who ask, "Why?"
But the question is not always asked in the same way, or with the same intent. Some stand on the charred remains of what was once their home and ask, "why me?"—and mean exactly that. Why them and why now? All they want is to understand the physical events that have changed their lives and daily routines, and to learn what they can do to correct the situation and avoid a repeat of it. They are not looking to assign blame; they merely desire an explanation of the prevailing circumstances.
Others view the suffering around them and ask "why?," but their inquiry occupies only a moment, and their response is immediate. They know enough to view this Earth as a once-perfect-but-now-flawed home for mankind. Rather than their faith in God being diminished or demolished, it is strengthened because: (a) they know that there are rational biblical and scientific explanations for such events; (b) they put their faith into action as they work to help themselves, or others whose lives have been affected by the horror surrounding them; (c) they understand that after all is said and done, "the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Genesis 18:25); and (d) they realize that there can be intrinsic value in human suffering.
Still others view, or endure, suffering and ask "why?"—when what they really mean is: "If a benevolent God does exist, why does He allow these things to happen?" The implication of their question is clear. Since these things do happen, God must not exist. After all, they reason, no truly benevolent God would allow such things to occur. Since they do occur, the God depicted within the pages of the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures must not exist. Such a charge, however, ignores the reason(s) for human suffering, and the potential intrinsic value that can be gained from such suffering.
At the end of His six days of creation (Genesis 1:31), God surveyed all that He had made, and proclaimed it to be "very good"—Hebrew terminology representing that which was both complete and perfect. Rivers were running, fish were swimming, birds were flying, and man was the inhabitant of the idyllic garden known as Eden. Pestilence, disease, and human death were unknown. Man existed in a world that was a paradise of happiness and beauty, in which he shared a covenant relationship with his Maker—a relationship so intimate and so blissful that God came to the garden "in the cool of the day" to commune with its human inhabitants (Genesis 3:8). Additionally, Genesis 3:22 records that man had continual access to the tree of life that stood in the garden, the fruit of which would allow him to live forever.
The peacefulness and tranquillity of the first days of humanity were not to prevail, however. In Genesis 3—with fewer words than an average sportswriter would use to discuss a Friday night high school football game—Moses, through inspiration, discussed the breaking of the covenant relationship between man and God, the entrance of sin into the world, the curse(s) that resulted therefrom, and the need for a coming Redeemer (the theme that would occupy the rest of the Bible). The matter of man's personal volition—or "free moral agency" as we have come to call it—has much to do with Moses' discussion. Various scriptures speak to the fact that since God is love, and since love allows freedom of choice, God created mankind with freedom of choice (cf. 1 John 4:8, Joshua 24:14, and John 5:39-40). God did not create men and women as robots to serve Him slavishly, without any freedom of choice on their part. Even angels were endowed with personal volition (Jude 6). When our original parents revolted against their Creator, evil entered the world. Moses stated that as a direct consequence of human sin, the Earth was "cursed" (Genesis 3:17). Paul, in Romans 8:19-20, declared that the entire creation was subjected to "vanity" and the "bondage of corruption" as a result of the sinful events that took place in Eden on that occasion so long ago.
Nothing has been the same since. Mankind now reaps the consequences of the misuse of that freedom of choice (i.e., sin) by previous generations. Surely one of the lessons to be learned here is that it does not pay to disobey the Creator.
The Bible is clear on its teaching that God is all-powerful (Matthew 19:26). Similarly, He is described as the very essence of a loving Being (1 John 4:8,16), and thus is benevolent, as love demands. How, then, can He allow pain and suffering to occur? Do not these things negate the benevolence of God, and strike at His very existence? The unbeliever suggests that they do, but rarely is willing to divulge "the rest of the story," because it vitiates his conclusion that God does not exist. The truth of the matter is that pain and suffering—when viewed in their proper perspective—do not militate against God's existence. In fact, they actually can be of intrinsic value to the human family, as the following facts will document.
First, God created a world ruled by natural laws established by Him at the Creation. If a man steps off the roof of a five-story building, gravity will pull him to the pavement beneath. If a boy steps in front of a fast-moving freight train, since two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time, the train will strike the child and likely kill him. The same laws that govern such things as gravity, matter in motion, or similar natural phenomena also govern weather patterns, water movement, and other geological/meteorological conditions. All of nature is regulated by these laws, not just the parts that we find convenient at one time or another.
Second, some disasters may be the by-product of something that itself is good. Norman Geisler has noted:
In a physical world where there is water for boating and swimming, some will drown. If there are mountains to climb, there must also be valleys into which one may fall. If there are cars to drive, collisions can also occur. It may be said that tornadoes, lightning, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are likewise by-products of a good physical world. For instance, the purpose of rain is not to flood or drown, but the result of rain may include these disasters. Likewise, hot and cold air are an essential and purposeful part of the physical world, but under certain conditions they may combine to form tornadoes (1978, p. 72, emp. in orig.).
The natural laws created by God allow man to produce fire. But the same law that enables him to cook his food similarly allows him to destroy entire forests. Laws that make it possible to have things constructive to human life also introduce the possibility of things destructive to humankind. How can it be otherwise? A car is matter in motion, and takes us where we wish to go. But if we step in front of a moving car, the same natural laws that operate to our benefit similarly will operate to our detriment. We routinely teach students in school that water seeks its own level. That fact works to our benefit when we place our boat on the lake; essentially, the water of the lake will be level. But if we dam a river, and the dam breaks, water will seek its own level, and in so doing may flood surrounding areas. The same law that operates for our pleasure during a sunny afternoon fishing expedition works for our displeasure during a dam break and the flood that subsequently follows.
Third, natural laws are both inviolate and non-selective. Everyone must obey them or suffer the consequences; no one is exempt. In Luke 13:2-5, Jesus related the story of eighteen men who perished when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them. The law of gravity was violated, and the tower fell. Jesus' discussion had to do not so much with the laws of gravity as it did with the fact that the men who died were no more wicked than their peers. They perished not because of their sin, but because of a violation of natural law. Fortunately, natural laws work continually, so that we, as humans, can understand, and benefit from, them. We are not left to sort out a haphazard system that works one day, but not the next.
Those who rail against God because of pain and suffering, however, often are overheard to ask, "But why can't God 'selectively intervene' to prevent such?" In other words, since God certainly has the power to do so, why does He not choose to employ miraculous intervention to prevent the human suffering that stems from disasters, diseases, etc.? Bruce Reichenbach has addressed this question:
Thus, in a world which operates according to divine miraculous intervention, there would be no necessary relation between phenomena, and in particular between cause and effect. In some instances one event would follow from a certain set of conditions, another time a different event, and so on, such that ultimately an uncountable variety of events would follow a given set of conditions. There would be no regularity of consequence, no natural production of effects.... Hence, we could not know or even suppose what course of action to take to accomplish a certain rationally conceived goal. Thus, we could neither propose action nor act ourselves (1976, 16:187).
Think of the kind of disheveled world we would inhabit if every time one of God's creatures was in danger of harm or death, God took it upon Himself to suspend all the natural laws with which He has imbued this planet. Chaos would corrupt the Cosmos! In fact, the end result would argue more for a world of atheism than a world of theism. Further, as Geisler has remarked:
...continual interference would disrupt the regularity of natural law and make life impossible. Everyday living depends on physical laws such as inertia or gravity. Regular interruption of these would make everyday life impossible and a human being extremely edgy! ...it is probable that chaos would result from continued miraculous intervention. Imagine children throwing knives at parents because they know they will be turned to rubber, and parents driving through stop signs, knowing God will create crash-protection air shields to avert any ensuing collisions. The necessary intervention would finally grow in proportions that would effectively remove human freedom and responsibility (1978, p. 75).
How, then, would the unbeliever suggest that an understandable, dependable world be created, and operated, other than the way ours presently is? How could suffering be prevented if natural laws are to be maintained and humanity's freedom is to be respected?
Those who suggest that the existence of a benevolent God is impossible in light of human suffering often wish for a better world than this one. Yet they cannot describe the details necessary for its creation and maintenance. When—in a vain attempt to "improve" the world in which they live—they begin to "tinker" with it, invariably they find themselves worse off.
Instead of blaming God when tragedies strike, we need to turn to Him for strength, and let suffering remind us that this world was never intended to be a final home (Hebrews 11:13-16). Our time here is temporary (James 4:14), and with God's help, we can overcome whatever comes our way (Romans 8:35-39; Psalm 46:1-3). In addressing these points, Franklin E. Payne Jr. observed:
Numerous Bible verses demonstrate the New Testament emphasis that God is more concerned about eternal values that are determined by the Christian's handling of such situations in life, than His concern for physical comfort. Ultimately, the purpose of suffering is the believer's reflection of the glory of God. His glory results when the person shows His power to overcome and His deliverance of His people through trying circumstances (Job 42:1-6; Ezek. 20:9, 14,22,33,39; 2 Cor. 11:24-33) [1985, p. 189].
The apostle Paul instructed:
Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:16-18).
In the end, the most important question is not, "Why am I having to endure this suffering?," but instead, "How am I going to react to, and benefit from, it?" The unbeliever sees suffering as militating against the existence of a benevolent God. The believer sees exactly the opposite, and recognizes that intrinsic value can result from suffering. With Peter, the faithful Christian can echo the sentiment that God, "who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, and strengthen you. To him be the dominion for ever and ever" (1 Peter 5:10).

The Bank, the Budget and the OS Shocker
May 6, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Well the FUD continues to flow fast and furious here in the Linux blogosphere, where local pharmacists have recently noticed a sudden surge in demand for blood pressure medications.
No sooner did Linux fans begin to calm down after the recent attack on open source in general, in fact, than a fresh report arrived from down under that caused tempers to flare up all over again.
"ME Bank picks 'cheaper' Microsoft stack over Linux" is the title of the report by ZDNet Australia, and the result has surely violated physicians' orders for numerous blogosphere residents. "Calm and quiet" have gone out the window, replaced instead by an atmosphere filled more with anger and mayhem.
'That's All They've Got'
"It's complete and utter bunk," began Linux Rants blogger Mike Stone, for example. "The public statements by ME Bank have been 'joint' statements with Microsoft, and Microsoft even features this particular case on their 'Case Studies' page on Microsoft.com."
The bank "declines to reveal even small details such as which Linux platform they were considering!" Stone added. "If you've done a thorough and unbiased study and come to a result you're confident is right, you're not concerned about revealing the details of that study.
"No, from what I can tell everything pointed to Linux being less expensive, but 'based on our past experience, we knew that it would cost more,'" Stone concluded. "That's all they've got."
'Do the Math in Calc, Not Excel'
"There's no way GNU/Linux would cost the same with an OS-agnostic application," blogger Robert Pogson agreed. "A $0 license forever is much less expensive than an enterprise license from M$ forever."
Then, too, "there's malware, re-re-reboots, extra hardware, and a restrictive EULA," Pogson added. "All of those cost money -- lots of it."
Indeed, "are you kidding me?" Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C. exclaimed. "Did they learn the mathematics in Germany, where recently some municipality have (wrongly) claimed the same?"
Meanwhile, "in some other part of that article, they say the cost would be 'approximately the same,'" he pointed out. "Make up your minds! Do the math in Calc, not in Excel, perhaps you'll get a more accurate result :-D."
'Somebody Is Utterly Wrong'
It's clearly true that even with free software "you still have to pay for other things, like the IT guy's time and expertise," Gonzalo Velasco C. explained. "But I really doubt it is more expensive, or Red Hat would have never made 1 billion, starting from below microsoft and with a more expensive product+service!!"
In fact, Brazil's largest bank -- Banco do Brasil -- has moved more than 45,000 ATM machines from OS2 to Linux, and the desktops of all its agencies from Windows to Linux, he pointed out. "They state that just in licenses, they were saving R$13 millions (~ US$7 mill.) per year."
In short, "many other banks, local and national governments, ministries, etc., are migrating and saying they are saving, and there is no big corporation profiting with that," Gonzalo Velasco C. concluded. "Somebody is utterly wrong... guess who?"
'I Would Be Very Wary'
Others took a more moderate view.
"There will always be a certain number of these stories, and some of them may even be legitimate," Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien told Linux Girl, for example. "But I think the numbers show that Linux is still taking over the server room generally, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over one company."
To wit: "They may have an IT department full of Windows people, and that would make changing to Linux more difficult," O'Brien pointed out.
Similarly, "it looks like they based their decision on what their techs knew so they wouldn't need to hire more contractors," consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack agreed. "The result may be cheaper, but I would be very wary of keeping my money in a bank with that level of technical skill."
'A Track Record That Would Bother Me'
Claims like ME Bank's are always out there, but "I don't know that I've ever seen itemized proof," offered Slashdot blogger yagu. "I think organizations go with what they know, or what they think they know."
For instance, "I know of an unnamed large public utility that decided to convert their entire java platform with .NET because it was 'better' technology and would save money," yagu noted. "A few years ago, they converted it back to java. So much for money saved."
Then there's "the perception that 'Microsoft and Windows community specialists' are readily available and Linux specialists are not," he added.
"I'm convinced much of Microsoft's staying power is inertia-based," yagu explained. "They do have good technology, but they have a track record that would bother me if I were making architectural choices. Microsoft may be able to convince a firm they're 'cheap' to get in the door, but what then? They've shown they unilaterally alter their pricing at what seems to be their whim. No thanks."
'Been There, Done That'
Bottom line? "Good luck to ME Bank," yagu concluded. "It's probably neither a bad choice nor a great choice; it's just a choice.
"I'd choose Linux because I think it's better," he added. "But in a community of Microsoft fans, it would be a hard sell and maybe even a bad choice. My experience is that once a direction is set, people move on and do what needs doing. They'll probably be happy."
As for yagu, meanwhile, "I'd probably look for someplace else to work," he said. "Been there, done that."
'More About Oracle vs MS SQL'
Chris Travers, a blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project, had a different view.
"This makes some sense," Travers began. "Here the bank had settled on a commercial off-the-shelf ERP platform first, and they probably were looking at choices of Oracle on Linux vs SQL Server on Windows Server. While PostgreSQL might have been an option, for these sorts of critical applications there has not been enough visible critical mass to really make the case -- the platform does not have the exposure."
Meanwhile, "when comparing the costs of Oracle + proprietary ERP + Linux critical support vs MS SQL + proprietary ERP + Windows, the operating system is going be the least of the factors," Travers explained. "Oracle on Linux is not generally considered cheaper than MS SQL on Windows."
Even if PostgreSQL was considered, "a major issue right now for businesses that use it is that the database is so good that there is a perpetual supply shortage of qualified DBAs," he added. "If you get good at working with PostgreSQL you get a job right away. This, of course, keeps admin costs high for the moment until the market catches up."
So, "if I am right, this says much more about Oracle vs MS SQL than it does about Linux vs Windows," Travers concluded.
'That Was Plain Wrong'
All software has a cost for businesses, "whether in licenses, support from the OS developer, third party support or even in-house support," Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor, pointed out.
"What surprises me is selecting Windows because it would cost AU$100,000 less," Lim told Linux Girl. "Since ME Bank is spending AU$57 million on a 'technology transformation program,' an AU$100,000 savings over five years does not seem all that significant."
In fact, "I would not bank there," Lim asserted. "Given the value of the data stored in a server, assessment of 'costs' should go beyond the price of the license, support and cost of the personnel requirements. That kind of decision should have been based primarily on security."
In short, "justifying it with cost and convenience, well, that was plain wrong, and sends the wrong message to depositors," he concluded.
'There Is More to the World'
Slashdot blogger hairyfeet felt sure the bank made the right decision.
"I have NO doubt that in that use case MSFT is the cheaper option," hairyfeet told Linux Girl. "This is something that for some reason the otherwise bright FOSS community just doesn't seem to get: There is more to the world than can be served by Firefox, gimp, and LibreOffice -- a LOT more."
Most likely "that bank has tens, maybe hundreds of millions, tied up in custom software that would have to be tossed, and the cost of having to hire a bunch of devs to build all that software from scratch (if they even could) would cost much MUCH more than some Windows licenses," he explained.
'The Bottom Line Is the Bottom Line'
Last but not least, "it would be easy for us as Linux fans to sit back and say, 'yeah, but Linux is free, they could have saved a bundle!'" Google+ blogger Brett Legree pointed out. "But, the bottom line here folks is, err, 'the bottom line' -- something banks specialize in, right?
"I'm pretty sure that ME Bank and specifically the person responsible for making the decision knew what he was doing, and since the software was not platform-specific, this to me adds even more weight to their argument," Legree asserted.
To illustrate, "an old friend of mine from university, a computer science major, works for one of the largest Canadian banks," Legree explained. "He is responsible for the same kind of thing, on the back end systems. And for as long as he has been there, they've been using Solaris.
"I asked him, 'Why not Linux?' Legree recalled, "and he replied that it would cost too much to switch."
So, "Linux is a wonderful thing," Legree concluded, "but it is not *always* the best solution for *every* problem."

Edemco (ED) - Ships from Peyton, CO
- The current lead time for all Edemco items is 2-4 weeks before we are able to ship. We get our equipment and products directly from Edemco, the manufacturer. Edemco currently has VERY long lead times because their products are in such high demand in the Grooming industry. Since Edemco products are never not stocked by any vendors, there is not much we can do to expedite the process.
- Smaller items and Dryers ship via FedEx Ground, all other larger items ship via Freight
- Additional shipping/transit time can be calculated with the shipping map below.
Edemco Warranty
For all Edemco Warranty related issues, please see the Edemco Warranty Card
LTL (less-than-truckload) Freight is used when shipments are 120 lb+ or for oversized equipment, which results in a truck with a large container delivering your order. Our freight carrier will contact you once your order makes it to the distribution center closest to the delivery address specified, and set up an appointment time for delivery.
Pet Pro Supply Co. Free LTL Freight Shipping - Curbside Delivery
Our standard Free Freight Shipping option for LTL deliveries is curbside, which is to a delivery to a Commercial Address and does not include a liftgate. If your order is to be shipped freight, you will have the option to specify whether the item will be delivered to a Residential, Limited Access, or Commercial address. If there is no option to select a shipping location, then this cost is already included in the price.
We strongly recommend adding the optional Liftgate for all deliveries to locations without a loading dock or forklift.
Freight Delivery Locations
This option specifies whether the delivery location is a Commercial, Residential, Residential Business, or a Limited Access address.
- Commercial - These addresses are those defined by our freight carriers and/or zoned by local municipalities as commercial sites. Typically these addresses are zoned as commercial real estate or are used exclusively for business. Most commercial sites have tractor-trailer access and a loading dock.
- Residential - If the address used a residence, select this option. This includes Apartment/Condo complexes and dormitories.
- Residential Business - Any business being operated from a home, apartment, or other dwelling where people live on the premises is considered to be a Residential Business.
- Limited Access - Locations where deliveries are restricted, limited, or very far from a distribution center. Examples Include:
- Place of Worship
- Restricted Areas - Secure Research Facilities, Military Bases/Installations, Correctional Facilities, Government Buildings
- Farms, Ranches, and Rural Areas
- Recreational Areas - Camps, Parks, Fairs, Carnivals, etc.
- Individual Storage Units
- Sites - Convention Centers, Construction Sites, Mines
- Schools and Universities
- Commercial establishments not open to the walk-in public during normal business hours
Freight Liftgate
A liftgate is a hydraulic lift that is attached to the back of a truck that can lower freight to ground level. Freight carriers prevent their drivers from assisting with the unloading of heavy equipment other than using a liftgate to ground level. We highly recommend any delivery address without a loading dock, select this option.
However, please know that for certain very long items, such as Kennels over 6' in length, a Liftgate will not be able to bring the entire order down to ground level. Please have the necessary manpower available to receive your items with limited delay to the driver.

NBC's Pete Williams reports on the breaking news out of a Houston airport, where a man reportedly fired shots inside a terminal in a "planned suicide."
A man shot himself to death Thursday at the main Houston airport after firing into the air with an assault rifle, witnesses and law enforcement sources told NBC News.
The man had a suicide note in a backpack, the sources said. They said he was fired on by federal agents before producing a handgun and killing himself.
Authorities said the situation was contained and there was no public danger. It happened at Terminal B of George Bush Intercontinental Airport, outside of the secure area.
The Federal Aviation Administration stopped some flights arriving at the airport, one of the nation's busiest. Police were turning cars away from the terminal.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said a homeland security agent was involved in the shooting but provided no other details.
Pete Williams and Miranda Leitsinger of NBC News contributed to this report.
