Rare Book Lost in Leeds
A very rare book has been found, discarded, on a street in Leeds. Abandoned, perhaps, after thieves discarded it following a robbery, the owner has not yet come forward. What makes the 300-year old book noteworthy is that it is bound in human skin. It was a not-uncommon practice in the 17th century to use the skin of murders to bind the accounts of their trials or the skin of cadavers to bind medical texts. Books such as this one, especially when kept in good condition, are prized by rare book collectors. No report yet as to the value of the book, but if no owner comes forward, it could be auctioned off by the police department.

My husband and I would highly recommend Barefloors to undertake your floor rennovation. We recently had our living room, dining room and entrance hall floors restored to their original glory and we are very happy with the end result. Steve and Phil are both very knowledeable and professional and extremely hard workers. They were flexible in scheduling both the quotation and the actual work at a time which suited us. They arrived promptly and got on with the job in hand and completed the work on time to a very high standard (and believe me I am fussy!) They were very tidy, clean workers and I was amazed at how little dust this work created. They were polite and courteous and I am pleased we selected them to do our floor.

Steve did an excellent job in sanding and sealing our beach floor which had taken a real hammering over a 12 year period. He worked diligently all day to leave the floor looking as good as new. Steve was very polite and freindly and is clearly a perfectionist.

Having undertaken the task of renovating our home over the last few years we came to our front and living rooms and decided to bite the bullet and have our oak floor sanded and refinished. After a number of companies visited us, we finally decided to choose Bare Floors, mainly down to the fact that Phill, who provided us our quote was a really personable, professional and knowledgeable person - we were very impressed and made our decision and scheduled the works. We could not be happier, the quality of the work was second to none and Stephen and Phil (family business) were incredibly professional and tidy which went down well with my wife. I would wholeheartedly recommend these fellows as they really are experts in this field. A first rate job – thank you! Robin and Lisa Lipscomb Bromley, Kent!

As the dead man's widow (Marilyn Chris) presses for full retribution, Forrest enlists the services of none other than "Chicago Seven" defense lawyer William M.

FULLERTON, Calif., Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) offers a resource for school administrators, teachers and staff looking to combat bullying on K-12 campuses. The online course, "Understanding and Addressing Bullying," is scheduled to begin October 28.

She, along with local experts, has contributed to create the multimedia curriculum covering the fields of education, psychology, gender studies, health, public policy, and law:

The course is offered by Cal State Fullerton's University Extended Education and will run October 28 to November 29, 2013. The cost is $210. To register online, or for more information, visit http://extension.fullerton.edu/bullying or call 657-278-2611.

I have lurked in this thread for a few weeks now... Honestly, your username was the first thing that caught my attention as a Ham Radio Operator (N2ADV )
It took me weeks to catch up, but holy cow: talk about a page turner! Having read this thread while on trains, planes, in hotels, at my desk in the office (now that my work travel schedule has calmed down), at home when I should have been doing stuff around the house (shhhh), and a few other places I won't mention , I am finally at a place where I feel comfortable humbly inserting a comment in your thread. You, sir, are an inspiration and, I dare say, a force of nature. Honestly, I don't feel qualified to go further than that except to say, "Thank you" for taking the time to share your journey. Looking forward to the next installment! As a "numbers guy" in my day-to-day life, I will also mention that the figures you showed are the tip of the proverbial iceberg, showing volume and direct costs with a few "indirect" costs thrown in. The secondary costs have yet to really be quantified: time off/wage costs for family caregivers, health costs for family caregivers (read: exhaustion leads to suppressed immune function which leads to illness which leads to more exhaustion, etc), indirect pass-through costs from time off of family caregivers (simplistic example: family caregiver has to miss work, someone has to work OT to maintain production levels which increases production costs which, on some level, gets passed along to the general consumer, etc)... The list goes on and the more you think about it, the more staggering the numbers become! Best of luck in your journey, Mark, and again thanks for taking us along. -James |

James. Thanks for the Post. Indeed this disease has so many costs to families and all of us that it should be a priority!! You are right on with your assessment of the other costs. I quit my career to care for my wife, and the financial burdens have changed my entire life. I am fortunate that we were in really good financial condition and prepared for the possibilities which allowed us to weather the financial impact. That said, our own finances took a huge toll to say the least, and will spend the rest of my working life to try to be ready for retirement. That is a reality for me!
Thanks for posting! Humbled. Mark

Mark, you are Genuine, that comes through loud and clear. Explains the HUGE following. I too am fairly recent in finding you and I am so glad I did. From all the BAD news we get thrown at us every day, it is very refreshing to see honesty, integrity and enthusiasm for life. You could probably solicit funds and just keep on ridin' for us....

Thanks Steve for your comments. Sharing my ride and my life with the ADV community has been great! Thanks for following along.
I flew back to Washington DC on Friday, and stayed at my Nephews home in Virginia. Was able to spend a little time with Susan and Little Eli. So fun to be around a cute little guy who is so observant and interested.! I have met some amazing people through ADVRider. Has definitely made my life better !! I was able to meet up again with iDave and Julie and there family while I was in Virginia!! Was a real treat for me!! They were celebrating 29 year Anniversary!! (which I missed because I did not see the PM from the morning). But hearty congratulations to you both!! I took the metro into DC on Sunday so that I could meet up with Conor (1Man2Wheels) and Erik (DCRider) for lunch before my conference registration. Great to see them both again. Last I saw Conor was South America then Florida last summer! Erik Rolled up on his 72 Triumph 650 Bonneville Awesome! The next few days will be packed with reconnecting with other Alzheimer's Advocates from around the US, preparing for Capital Hill visits on Wednesday. Always a draining but rewarding time fighting for Alzheimer's Causes.

Thanks for taking the time to meet and catch up . It's always a privilege for Julie and me to see you face to face . Kelsey and Mike, and Nick and Chelsea thoroughly enjoyed listening as you shared about your experiences of the past 22 months, and the events of your personal Chapter 1. Thanks so much for engaging them . You have no idea how grateful I am, that they were able to come on such short notice, and experience first hand the possibilities that are available to them, if they dare to dream big, as a result of your words. If, in the future, either Nick or Kelsey comes to me and says, "Dad, I'm leaving on an adventure and I don't know when I'll be back," I'll have you to blame and thank . Last Friday, I was working for a client who asked me what I had planned for the weekend. I explained to she and her husband I would be meeting up with a friend who is currently traveling the world on a motorbike. I shared a few details about your travels, how we met, etc. but kept the conversation brief. This morning, Ann asked about the weekend (Paul and Ann have become much more than clients over the years, and they're more like family, than clients.) As I shared about your journey, Ann just smiled. Then she asked, "How is it possible Mark is in DC, his bike is somewhere off the coast of New Zealand, and he's going to reunite with his bike in Australia?" That's when I mentioned Alzheimer's. I continued sharing about your journey, and the reason you were in town. As I was talking, I noticed Ann's smile beginning to fade. She opened up and shared the most powerful story about the struggles and difficulties she and Paul are currently experiencing as a result of Paul's mother. "It's so sad," she told me. "She doesn't remember Paul anymore, and she's convinced there's a loud party happening every night down in the living room, and most recently, she's convinced a black bear is living in the tree outside her bedroom." I didn't know about Ann and Paul's struggle until this morning... Mark, I suspect, if Alzheimer's hadn't changed the course of your life, you would not be on this journey, and you would willingly exchange Chapter 2 for a lengthy, healthy, happy continuance of Chapter 1. However, I want to encourage you, that your journey is touching lives in ways you can't begin to imagine, because you CHOSE to carry on, and share it... The last thing Ann said to me when I finished today, was, "Please tell Mark 'Thank You' for everything he's doing on behalf of the Alzheimer's disease." I gave her a huge smile, and assured Ann, I would. See ya next year Mark, if not sooner . Dave |

Mark, I too have been following your trip for months now. And you are most certainly a HUGE inspiration. I haven't commented until now, but I want you to know how much I appreciate each update/post/photo. I, and I'm sure thousands of others lurking like I have been, live somewhat vicariously through your adventures.
I have been my mother's caregiver for the past two years until last week, when I finally had to place her in assisted living. It is terrible to witness the decline of a loved one to this disease. It certainly does take a toll on the caregiver also, as you must know only too well. But after a recent hospitalization, and the tremendous improvement that she made in rehab, I determined that it was in her best interests (and mine) to find a different solution. An acquaintance whose wife is afflicted with Alzheimer's, when suggesting that I place my mother in an assisted living facility, put it this way; he said it's not what you are doing TO her, but rather what you are doing FOR her. I now agree, but I had to overcome guilt in stepping away from relinquishing her daily care somewhat. And there is, I'm sorry to admit, mixed emotions besides guilt associated with caregiving-selfishness, resentment, among others. But you sir, with your travels do provide hope and faith that a new day, yes even a new chapter, is ahead. I look forward to my own 2-wheel adventures. Keep up your good efforts, and safe travels. I salute you! |

and My heart goes out to Ann and Paul as they know first hand how difficult Alzheimer's Disease is. The emotional pain of watching your loved one be devastated by this disease, and not being able to do anything to solve it. It takes a toll on everyone in the family. I used to have people ask me all the time "does Chris recognize you?" . and my answer was always (I do not know, But I recognize her and I love her" one of the best complements I ever received was a woman that came to the Care Home Chris was in (She had Brain cancer but was very lucid for a short time). One day I arrived, like every other day, and she said, "Mark, when you arrive Chris glows" Staying engaged with your loved one does make a difference!! Please Tell Ann and Paul the next time you see them. Big hugs from Me!

My heart goes out to you and your mom as well. Caregiving is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. But I cannot think of anything more honorable than being able to care for a loved one and make their lives better. * needing to place a loved one in a care facility is one of the hardest decisions and actions that a caregiver is faced with. But your acquaintance is right. I see it as compassionate care. At some point having others help with all the basic care allows a loved one and caregiver to focus on Loving the person like no one else can. And being alive to actually do that instead of burnt out or having serious personal health issues due to the stress and strain of caregiving . Caregiving is not for the weak. It is full of so many emotions, strains that really can take a toll if you do not take care of yourself along the way! Ride Safe!

The reason I came back was to continue to raise awareness and fight for the need to proper funding of the most expensive disease in America.
David Hyde Perce is also an advocate as he lost members of his family to Alzheimers. As we gathered we had speakers to inform us about the newest issues with Alzheimer's disease, research and public policy. over 900 advocates from all 50 states came to go to Capital hill! Frances Collins who is the head of NIH (national Institute of health) spoke as well as many others. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan It is a worthy cause to fight for, and cupcakes to celebrate being here. We also have other advocates share why they are here. Lucien is from Mississippi and I have know him now for 5 years. He was continuing to fight for his parents and wife who died of Alzheimer's. One morning I had time to take a walk around washington. So much history in all the memorials. And then the sadness of so many young men that died in Vietnam And then a walk near the White House. Security is very evident after the Boston tragedy We wrapped up of work in washington with a full day on Capital Hill. Meeting with all the representatives of my home state of Oregon. Urging them to prioritize Alzheimer's Disease research so that we can find a cure. Helping our country, reducing the staggering costs and helping our families impacted by this disease. As we walked up to the Capital, I met a Capital Policeman named Duqky. He rides a motorcycle with purple flames in Honor of his grandmother who had Alzheimer's. He gave me a Capital Police badge for my riding jacket! Here are the people from Oregon that joined us this year on this fight! and I could not help but do a jump for the cause! It was a emotional time as I shared my story about caring for and losing Chris to the disease and also shared in the pain and emotions of so many other people advocating on behalf of their families! Left Washington tired out, but glad I was there to share in the fight. Now back to Portland to see family and friends for 10 days before getting back to my bike which should now be in Australia.

Way to go Mark!
The Alzheimer's cause wasn't really on my "radar" until I read your story and followed your journeys. Heck, I didn't even realize there was a "color" for the cause. It's obvious to me now that there is a great cost now and in the future for this disease and I'm much more aware of it now than if you werent an advocate. Regardless, welcome back home, you couldn't have asked for nicer weather!

News CenterFull All-New Ford Ranger Pickup Line-up Debuts at Birmingham CV Show
- All-new Ford Ranger pickup displayed with all three bodystyles at the Birmingham CV Show, marking European public debut of full Ranger line-up
- Stylish and practical cab bodystyles – Double, Super and Regular – highlight strength and versatility of range; two new Ford Duratorq TDCi diesels, 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains and four attractive series options offered
- Totally new from the ground up, Ford Ranger delivers more payload, class-leading towing capability, enhanced comfort, smart new technologies, and is first pickup to achieve a 5 Star safety rating in the Euro NCAP test
BIRMINGHAM, UK, 24 April, 2012 – The full line-up of the all-new Ford Ranger pickup makes its European debut at the Birmingham CV Show, with all three stylish and practical bodystyles displayed together for the first time.
The exciting new Ranger transforms the ownership experience for customers in its segment by combining the toughness and capability of a pickup truck with smart technology, outstanding safety and the highest standards of quality and comfort.
Ranger is offered in three versatile cab bodystyles – Double, Super and Regular – which are among the roomiest in its class. The compact pickup comes with a choice of two powerful and economical new Duratorq TDCI diesel engines, and with 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains.
Totally new from the ground up, Ranger was designed and developed to be best-in-class or among the leaders in every area important to customers, especially those who use it for both work and leisure purposes. Ranger now delivers more payload and class-leading towing capability, along with innovative new comfort and driver assistance features.
New Ranger is also the first pickup to achieve a 5 Star rating in the Euro NCAP test, scoring 89 percent for overall safety – the best score ever earned by a pickup, and one of the highest scores recorded by Euro NCAP for any type of vehicle.
"With the full line-up on show together for the first time, European customers can now see the exciting potential of the all-new Ranger pickup for themselves," said Jesus Alonso, director CV Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford of Europe. "We have designed this vehicle to be great for work and great for leisure, and customers will appreciate the difference as soon as they get behind the wheel."
Three stylish and functional bodystyles
Exuding power and confidence in a "21st Century Tough" style, the Ranger front end features the signature three-bar grille, a global Ford truck design cue. Designers raised the beltline significantly, along with the rails of the load box, creating a substantial presence on the road while increasing functionality with the deeper box.
The two-seat Regular Cab offers the greatest load capacity of the three bodystyles, with the biggest box volume in its class at 1.82 cubic metres and a maximum payload which exceeds 1,300kg. Customers have the option of 125PS and 150PS versions, with a six-speed manual transmission and the choice of 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains.
With its flexible rear-hinged doors, the two-plus-two seat Super Cab model offers extra interior space for passengers or tools, while still offering best-in-class box volume of 1.45 cubic metres and a maximum payload of over 1,250kg. In addition to the choice of 125PS and 150PS versions and 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrains, a six-speed automatic transmission is also available.
Completing the line-up, the four-door five-seat Double Cab provides class-leading rear legroom along with a generous box volume of 1.21 cubic metres and maximum payload exceeding 1,100kg. Offered exclusively with a 4x4 drivetrain, the Double Cab can also be specified with a powerful 200PS engine and a choice of manual or automatic transmissions.
Ranger combines its exceptional load-carrying ability with towing and water-wading capabilities that are right at the top of the segment. 4x4 models can tow a class-leading 3,350kg and can wade through 800 millimetres of water even when fully laden.
Smart and comfortable interior
The all-new Ranger offers a contemporary look and feel with features and comfort normally found only in passenger cars. Bold new interior surfaces are finished with materials that will stand up to the demands of a workhorse while delivering a lasting quality appearance.
Poised to be a leader in innovation, the new Ranger comes with smart technologies that make the pickup easier, safer and more fun to drive. On selected models with Bluetooth, USB and iPod connectivity, there is voice-control over the radio, CD, iPod, USB, electronic air-conditioning and mobile phone. Dual-zone climate control and cruise control are available on the high series while selected models offer a five-inch colour screen with satellite navigation.
In addition to the enhanced interior specification, owners will also appreciate improved new levels of driving dynamics. The completely new chassis delivers even more capability with car-like quietness, reduced steering effort, more precise handling and better on-road stability.
More muscle with greater fuel efficiency
The all-new Ford Ranger powertrains have been engineered to give customers a superior combination of power and torque with class-leading fuel efficiency. Two new Duratorq TDCi diesel engines are available to suit every purpose and pocket.
Leading the way is Ranger's powerful new 200PS 3.2-litre five-cylinder diesel engine. With ninety percent of its 470Nm peak torque available from 1700rpm to 3500rpm, this impressive unit delivers outstanding driveability and flexibility. Its combined fuel consumption is 9.5l/100 km (29.7mpg) on a 4x4 manual transmission variant.
The flexible and fuel-efficient new 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine is available in 125PS and 150PS ratings, both combining responsive performance with excellent fuel economy. When fitted to a 4x2 model, the 125PS 2.2-litre engine delivers combined fuel consumption from as low as 7.3 l/100km (38.7mpg).
Advanced safety protection
With a comprehensive range of passive safety features, new Ranger is the first pickup ever to achieve a 5 Star rating in the Euro NCAP test, scoring 89 percent for overall safety – one of the highest scores recorded by Euro NCAP for any type of vehicle. Moreover, the new Ranger achieved the highest rating of any vehicle ever tested by Euro NCAP for pedestrian protection, 81 per cent.
To enhance active safety, and assist vehicle stability both on-road and off-road, selected Ranger models are equipped with an advanced new Electronic Stability Program (ESP). This includes features such as Hill Descent Control, to help the driver on steep downhill grades; Hill Launch Assist, to help the driver pull away on steep climbs; Trailer Sway Control, to provide stability control when towing a trailer; and Adaptive Load Control, for optimal vehicle stability regardless of vehicle load.
The full line-up of new Ranger models is now available from Ford dealers across Europe.

All-in-one Linux-based network servers aren't a new concept. Distributions like Clark Connect have been around for many years and fit their niche quite well. Lately, however, there seems to be a new batch of all-in-one solutions that offer a similar business model.
A couple months ago, we reviewed Untangle, which is a commercial distribution offering a feature-limited free version. Recently, one of our readers, Tracy Holz, pointed me to a similar project, ClearOS. Although Untangle is largely a firewall and network services system, ClearOS attempts to do more. Using a combination of open-source and commercial tools, it can be a one-stop server platform for many networks.
ClearOS has a unique modular system that seamlessly includes local server applications and cloud-based services to end users. You can purchase appliance devices or install ClearOS on an existing server. Much like Untangle, ClearOS's free features are limited, but it doesn't feel crippled if you stick to just the free stuff.
The features and add-ons are too numerous to list here, but if you're looking for a commercially backed all-in-one server solution for your network, check out ClearOS. Tell 'em Tracy sent you.

It's nice to see a distro
It's nice to see a distro with so many network features incorporated from the get go.
I know, it's only Wikipeida,
I know, it's only Wikipeida, but I saw the announcement from Clear when they made the change. They also have a non-Free version.
Since the author didn't think
Since the author didn't think it would be relevant enough to check up on things, such an article is just about enough for me to stop visiting this site.
How on earth can you write an article about an OS, without reading up on the basics?
Yet no mention of...
ClearOS is Clark Connect, yet no mention of Zentyal or SME Server.
"Lately, however, there seems to be a new batch of all-in-one solutions...", please list others, ClearOS, Zentyal nee eBox and SME Server have all been around a while.
ClearOS is Clark Connect
ClearOS is Clark Connect, it's the same project, just rebranded.
Great, easy to deploy, modular Linux server
I use ClearOS in our company. Great full featured e-mail and file server. It was very easy to setup and equally to maintain. It runs well on modest hardware. It works virtualized without issue. All round great distro to know about.
I also use Untangle for network security and primary AV/anti-spam filtering. The combo have be fantastic.
Clear OK is Clark Connect re-branded
I know, it's only Wikipeida, but I saw the announcement from Clear when they made the change. They also have a non-Free version.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

4/13/2009: Cuba Withholds Visas from USCIRF Delegation |
April 13, 2009
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Cuban government today withheld visas for a delegation from the U.S. Commission on International Freedom (USCIRF), which was planning to meet with religious communities and Cuban government officials to discuss religious freedom on the island.
After weeks of Commission preparations for the trip, including requesting visas and obtaining State Department support for the official visit, making travel arrangements and requesting meetings with Cuban Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and Santeria leaders, the Cuban government did not issue the USCIRF delegation visas in time to allow the visit to occur.
The Cuban government gave no explanation, and did not offer alternative dates for a future visit.
"We are very disappointed by the Cuban government's refusal to allow an official U.S. delegation to investigate first-hand Cuban citizens' freedom to believe and practice their faith on the island," said Felice D. Gaer, chair of USCIRF. "Our Commission has visited China, Vietnam, Laos, Saudi Arabia and other countries. Does the Cuban government have something to hide?"
According to published Commission reports, Cuba has been on the USCIRF "Watch List" of countries being monitored for abuse of its citizens' right to freedom of religion or belief since 2004.
Today, the Obama administration announced that it is easing some of the restrictions on travel to the island, and the Cuban officials have made numerous statements about their desire to reestablish good relations with the United States, which has enforced a trade embargo on Cuba for 47 years. It is also reported that the Castro government is demanding no preconditions in return for opening discussions on easing restrictions.
"The Commission has received reports that there are improvements in some sectors in Cuba. As with other countries, we seek to ascertain how much and where. If everything is so normal in Cuba, then the Cuban government should welcome a USCIRF visit. Not allowing USCIRF's bipartisan delegation to visit is a very disturbing sign," said Gaer.
USCIRF Commissioners said they would continue to make visa applications to visit Cuba, in order to evaluate the state of religious freedom on the island.

Yes! Great idea.
Not before some changes (please post)
No! Terrible idea.
Dancing blade (along with serpent band) is the only recipe item in the game that doesn't have at least two items it can become, so here's a shot at a new one.
ancingBlade:Dancing Blade (3300)
:AssassinShroud:Assassin Shroud (3300)
Cloak and dagger (6600)
+30 Aglity
+45 Damage
+20 Attack Speed
On activation:
Mana Cost: 120
Cooldown: 20 Seconds
Applies Cloak and Dagger to self for 12 seconds.
Cloak and Dagger
Stealth Effects
+25 movement speed
Unit Walking
If stealth is broken during an attack, the target takes 175 additional physical damage and has Hamstrung applied to them for 3 seconds.
Movement speed slowed by 55% recovering in an exponential fashion over 3 seconds.
Same item costs
+30 Agility
+25 damage
+25 Attack Speed
On Activation:
Mana Cost: 200
Cooldown: 25 Seconds
Applies Mugged to you and target within 200 units.
Both you and the target become invisible for 4 seconds, during which time only you and the target can see each other (unless stealth is removed in some fashion).
The target has their movement slowed by 80%, recovering in a linear model over 4 seconds.
+30 Attack Speed
Attacks against the target have a 20% chance to Crit for 2.5x Base Damage.
Utility: Turns the hero into something of an initiator by attempting to remove a hero from the fight early on, and can possibly give an escape mechanism if being chased by multiple heroes
REMEMBER: Vote on concept, not numbers! Thanks.
I dislike the second version immensely. Aside from the fact that it is incredibly too powerful, it also seems like it would be messy to implement.
The first version actually seems pretty solid. I question how much HoN needs another end-game dps item, but Cloak and Dagger has nothing really wrong with it aside from that. I cast my vote that it's a good idea, provided you're talking about the first version.
I like it, the first version is by far better than the later, but HON does not really need any of those items right now.
This was the inspiration Genjuro.

That, and I'm particularly curious 'bout Edward Kenway. He's (obviously) a salty-pirate seadog, yet he's also an Assassin? The hell's up with that? It completely goes against the Assassins' purpose and moral code. What's more is that Blackbeard respects 'em, so clearly he ain't just along for the ride with piracy just an excuse to get t' targets or somethin'. He's a full-blown Privateer.
I wouldn't be surprised if Edward's lifestyle was half the reason why.Spoiler Alert!

Gov. Pat Quinn's budget speech Wednesday raised concerns among local lawmakers.
Sen. James Clayborne, D-Belleville, who is the Senate Majority Leader, said he's concerned about the governor's proposed education cuts.
"The governor's plan to cut nearly $400 million from K-12 education will be devastating," said Clayborne, who recently returned to work after recovering from a kidney transplant. "Now more than ever we need to invest in our children's education; instead, the governor is siphoning funds away from of our schools and not increasing the corrections budget."
Sen. Kyle McCarter, R-Lebanon, said the state can't keep increasing its spending. He said 49 of 59 state agencies under the governor's control will actually see their budgets increase.
"The revenue expected to come in during the next budget year will be the most revenue Illinois government has ever received," McCarter said. "The governor and his allies in the Legislature passed a $7 billion-a-year tax increase two years ago.Revenue is way up.They promised to pay off old bills and reduce spending when they passed the 67 percent state income tax increase, but today Illinois is deeper in debt and our overdue bills have increased 20 percent."
McCarter also said Quinn needs to offer his own pension plan.
"There are six or seven pension bills out there, including one I introduced.He should pick one or pick parts of several and show us his plan," McCarter said. "He shouldn't threaten downstate educators and children to get what he wants.He's the Governor; he should lead."
Rep. Dwight Kay, R-Glen Carbon, also criticized the planned cut in education spending, saying it "will have a detrimental effect on schools throughout the state, especially downstate schools. These schools have already absorbed millions in cuts and unpaid bills already, asking them to take another hit will severely affect vital services."
But Kay also criticized increased spending in the governor's proposal.
"This financial crisis is getting out of control day by day, and the governor's only real solution is to increase spending $1.9 billion," Kay said. "These spending increases are nearly twice the expected revenues and only serve to plunge us further into debt. We must remain within Illinois' projected revenue."
Rep. Charlie Meier, R-Okawville, said Quinn's proposed cuts and expenditures are in the wrong places.
"Last year the governor got up and said we need to close Murray Center, when that's the last thing we should do. This year the governor gets up and says we need to cut hundreds of millions from education funding while at the same time expanding Medicaid, when that's the last thing we should do. At least he's consistent," Meier said.
The state is in the process of closing the Warren G. Murray Developmental Center in Centralia, a center for people with developmental disabilities. Quinn says moving the residents to "community care" will give them a better quality of live and save money.
"The governor said the state has saved $100 million by closing 54 state facilities, which includes Murray Center," Meier said. "I can't believe he has the nerve to brag about saving $100 million on the backs of the developmentally disabled while, in the same speech, expanding state spending by $1.9 billion. It's so out of touch, it's inhuman."

Video: 7 dead, including gunman, in shootings at Wis. Sikh temple
The FBI is investigating whether a bloody Sunday morning attack on worshipers at a Sikh Temple outside Milwaukee was an act of domestic terrorism.
Seven people died, including the gunman shot by police. Federal and local investigators sealed off four blocks in Cudahy, a Milwaukee suburb, surrounded a home and evacuated neighbors as they searched Sunday evening for information about the gunman. The neighborhood is about 6 miles from the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, scene of the shooting.
An Oak Creek police officer, one of the first to arrive at the temple following reports of gunfire, was shot several times, and a second officer shot and killed the gunman, said Bradley Wentlandt, chief of the nearby Greenfield Police Department, speaking for local police. He said the shooting is being treated "as a domestic terrorist type situation." Agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are working with the FBI. "While the FBI is investigating whether this matter might be an act of domestic terrorism, no motive has been determined at this time," Teresa Carlson, special agent in charge of the FBI's Milwaukee office,said in a written statement Sunday night. "The two Oak Creek officers who responded are clearly heroes in this situation today," Wentlandt said in a telephone interview. "It stopped a tragic event that could have been a lot worse," John Edwards, chief of police in Oak Creek, said. When the first officer was shot several times, Wentlandt said, "A second officer on the scene immediately engaged the suspect and shot and killed him." Three people, including the officer, were in critical condition at Froedtert Hospital. Chief Medical Officer Lee Biblo said the three victims are all adult men. Hospital spokeswoman Carolyn Bellin said one of the victims had gunshot wounds to the face and extremities, and another had wounds to his abdomen. Wendlandt, who was designated by Oak Creek police as their spokesman, said the police officer who was shot was in surgery and doctors "think he's going to recover." Among those shot was Satwant Kaleka, president of the temple, Wentlandt said. Phone calls to his home went unanswered. Police found four of the dead inside the temple and three, including the gunman, outside. It was not clear how many others were wounded. Police received several 911 calls about the shooting at 10:25 a.m. CT. Ven Boba Ri, one of the temple members, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the shooter was a white male who was "not an insider." Ri called the attack "pretty much a hate crime." Police have not indicated any known motive yet. Ri told the newspaper that the shooter walked up and shot a priest who was standing outside, then went inside the temple and began firing. "Our hearts go out to the victims and their families as we all struggle to comprehend the evil that begets this terrible violence," Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said. President Obama said in a statement that he was "deeply saddened" by the shooting and offered whatever federal support is needed for the investigation. "At this difficult time, the people of Oak Creek must know that the American people have them in our thoughts and prayers, and our hearts go out to the families and friends of those who were killed and wounded," Obama said. "As we mourn this loss which took place at a house of worship, we are reminded how much our country has been enriched by Sikhs, who are a part of our broader American family." Sunny Singh, 21, of Milwaukee, said a friend pulled into the temple's parking lot, heard shots and saw two people fall down. The friend then saw the shooter reload his weapons and head to the temple's entrance, Singh said. Police in New York and Chicago said they were providing additional security to Sikh temples as a precaution. The rampage came two weeks after a gunman killed 12 people at movie theater in Aurora, Colo. In Washington, the Indian Embassy was monitoring the situation and was in touch with the National Security Council over the incident, CNN reported. Sikhs are a tiny minority among religious groups in the USA. A survey of Asian-American religions by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, released in July, found Sikhs are 1 percent of the nation's 18.2 million Asian Americans. Sikhism is a religion founded in the 15th century by Guru Nanak Dev in the Punjab region of what is now Pakistan. It is among the largest organized religions in the world, with more than 20 million Sikhs worldwide, most in India. There are more than 120 Sikh temples and places of workship in the United States. Sikh rights groups have reported a rise in bias attacks since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. The Washington-based Sikh Coalition has reported more than 700 incidents, which advocates blame on anti-Islamic sentiment. Sikhs don't practice the same religion as Muslims, but their long beards and turbans often cause them to be mistaken for Muslims, advocates say. Observant Sikhs do not cut their hair. Male followers often cover their heads with turbans - which are considered sacred - and refrain from shaving their beards. It is a tenet of their faith that uncut hair represents the perfection of God's creation. But the turban also attracts violence to individuals and their places of worship. In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, four drunk teenagers set fire to the Gobind Sadan, a Sikh house of worship in Hastings, N.Y.

Innovative Technologies Earn 2012 InterTech Award
The independent panel of judges deliberated over many technology nominations ranging from digital presses and related enhancements to a variety of mobile and Web-based software.
Printing Industries of America has released more information about the twelve technologies recently selected to receive a 2012 InterTech Technology Award.
The independent panel of judges deliberated over many technology nominations ranging from digital presses and related enhancements to a variety of mobile and Web-based software. Great strides in technology were demonstrated in color measurement and control, layout and finishing, security and low migration inks, inkjet and label presses, printable coatings, pressroom analytics, management information systems, and product content management and publishing.
Technologies were selected from those nominated for a variety of reasons, but the judges felt they all met the award criteria of being truly innovative and expected them to have a major impact on the graphic communications industry. What follows is a description of the technology and its significance to the field.
The 2012 InterTech Technology Award recipients are:
(Listed alphabetically by company, with the technology named first)
Kodak NexPress Red Fluorescing Solution
Eastman Kodak Company
The Kodak NexPress Red Fluorescing Solution lets printers easily add security to printed documents, direct mail, and packaging. The virtually invisible dry ink fluoresces red when illuminated with ultraviolet light. The judges singled out the technology for its simple and low-cost approach to adding counterfeit protection.
Enterworks Enable
Enterworks, Inc.
Enterworks Enable allows a company to manage complex product information, associated images, and other marketing assets. The Web-based software then automates the delivery of this selling content through print and e-commerce channels. One judge commented: "This is robust enterprise-level product information management software that is extremely configurable."
i-cut Suite
i-cut Suite is a collection of workflow software for users of large-format digital printers. It gives companies the essential tools to maintain efficiency and productivity. "This is complete workflow designed specifically for large format at a reasonable price," noted a judge.
Fujifilm J Press 720
FUJIFILM North America Corporation
The J Press 720 is the world's first half-size sheetfed inkjet press. It produces accurate and consistent color work with virtually no makeready waste. The judges singled out the J Press for its pioneering role in what is expected to be a major pressroom shift to inkjet.
Prinect Performance Benchmarking
Heidelberg USA
Prinect Performance Benchmarking is a subscription-based application that lets companies compare the performance of their Speedmaster presses and operators with other printers. Said one InterTech judge: "No one else offers this … it is worth its weight in gold for the printer that takes true advantage of benchmarking."
Keen MIS and Web-to-Print
Keen Systems, Inc.
Keen MIS and Web-to-Print software is a cloud-based platform that allows companies to pick a subscription plan and begin creating storefronts in minutes. The judges praised the cloud-based and SaaS approach, the additional functionality from plug-ins, and the easy-to-use interface.
Color Control and Web Inspection System with AccuCam
QuadTech, Inc.
The QuadTech system uses a spectral sensor to examine the entire printed image, without the need for control bars. It monitors color and adjusts inking while detecting a variety of print issues, including switched plates. The judges hailed its unique ability to spot scumming and automatically adjust water.
