Poplar Street, Petersburg Deadline: 5 p.m. on Monday terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Calif. That wasn't all. In addition to practicing with the rifle near his home, Williams was attempting to send money to ISIS to help fund other attacks. According to Inserra: "While he was funding ISIS, Williams continued to discuss a "martyrdom oper- ation," or attacks at home that would result in his death. He believed that unless he had something to live for, his attack might not be pure, and his death would be considered a suicide, rather than martyrdom. "To solve that problem, he arranged a marriage to a woman outside the U.S., which led him to conclude that after he married her, 'the next time I see her will be in [heaven].' He went on to say he was planning to send the rest of his money to ISIS so that he would die without a dollar to his name." Fortunately, thanks to the good work of the FBI and others, his attack never materialized. In August, Williams plead- ed guilty in federal court to attempting to provide material support for ISIS, a desig- nated foreign terrorist group. He's due to be sentenced in December, when he could get up to 20 years in prison. Cases like this underscore the need to remain vigilant. It's all too easy, as the an- niversaries roll by, to become complacent. The only way to prevent another attack, whether large or small, is to stay on our guard — always.

PEACE of MIND Let our 125 years of experience aid you in your selection of a meaningful memorial. SCHUM MONUMENTS, INC. Dale, Indiana www.SchumMonuments.com 937-4921 Local Representative RONALD WOODS 789-2009 If anyone has been looking to buy Microsoft Office lately, they would have noticed a change in how they do their pric- ing. Instead of a one-time fee to purchase the soft- ware, it is a renewable fee every year. The reason they have done this and so many other companies are going towards this is because they believe soft- ware is a service, not just a product, they call it SaaS. SaaS stands for Software as a Ser- vice and has been around for quite a few years but really picked up after the reces- sion when companies no longer wanted to pay the large upfront costs to change or update everyone to a new Office and the companies that made the software want- ed reoccurring revenue. In this article, I will highlight the advantages and disad- vantages of SaaS products for home users and show you what the future will most likely bring. The biggest advantage for consumers to take advantage of when they buy soft- ware like Office 365, is that upgrading to make sure the software is running smooth- ly, doesn't have any security holes, and has the latest features is easy, sometimes even automatic, and doesn't mean any ad- ditional costs. Another advantage is that it's easy to download and put on any com- puter. Have you ever had your computer crash and either had to reinstalled the op- erating system (OS) or just got a complete- ly new one? Then you realized that word and excel were gone and you wanted it on your new one but then find out you can't use it any more your older version or that you don't even know where you put the CD. Well since the new software is available for download from the internet, you will never have to worry about that again. They have tried to make it as easy as downloading a song from iTunes. The third advantage is the customer support SaaS provides. They need to retain customers in order to turn a profit because in the first year, SaaS is cheaper than it would be otherwise. So, to do that they are going out of their way to help their customers. Of course, things aren't all positive. The downside to this type of software is that over a three-year period it will cost more than it has before. Sure, that first year will be cheaper than the past prod- ucts and yes, you might be getting more service but this does come out of your wal- let and it will come out of your wallet once a month or once a year. If this matters to you, I would go out and buy Office 2010 or 2013 so you won't have to get Office 365 for a few years. So, with all this being weighed, what does the future look like for you? Most likely, you will see more than just office 365 adopting SaaS. There has been talk about Windows adopting this model, so you will have to start paying reoccurring fees to have it; that was one of the rea- sons they have been trying to get so many people on Windows 10. The way it is now, your operating system is included in the cost of your new computer. If you want- ed to upgrade your old computer that has Windows Vista to Windows 7 or 10, what you have to do is purchase a product key which is $120 for a Windows 10 Home Edi- tion download. So, what you could see in the future is a $40 charge yearly to run Windows 10. Ultimately, the choice is yours. But now you can weigh the choice between whether you want to have the latest of- fice, or any other SaaS program, or would you rather have an older version and pay more money for it the first year but not have to worry about paying any other fees after that. If you have any questions about which one is best for you, don't hes- itate to give your location tech company a call. We would be happy to help.
