low-cost information and high-cost news. The information — classifieds, stocks, sports scores, weather, entertainment listings, recipes, horoscopes, coupons, police blotters, obits — was widely popular and cheap and easy to produce. The news was less popular, more expensive to produce, and often risky. managed dedicated server For certain kinds of investigative stories, newspapers could bankroll salaried employees who spent months pursuing trails that went nowhere. Sometimes following a burglary leads to a cover-up that leads to impeachment; most times, it doesn't. But newspapers don't know which is which unless they spend money digging. Despite the uncertainty, newspapers worked as a business because they had a monopoly on the low-cost information. As long as there was no other place for their audience to go to for classifieds and all the rest, readers and advertisers kept paying for the ink, indirectly subsidizing the serious stuff.
Then the Internet came along and killed that monopoly. It set low-cost information free, and by lowering the cost of publication, it allowed bloggers to replicate a portion of the newspapers' newsgathering efforts. But not all of it: No one has yet been able to find a way to profitably produce the kind of risky, expensive investigative and foreign reporting that newspapers like the Post now invest in. Yes, there are websites — Slate included — that do some version of this. But in general, if newspapers go away, we'll have less deep reporting than we used to. That's the problem Bezos can potentially solve.
Bezos is a maven of finding new ways to sell old things. When the first Kindle came out, he brilliantly bundled cellular coverage into the price, letting you forget about the data charge while you downloaded lots of books. Later, he released a low-priced Kindle that was subsidized by ads on the lock screen; when that version turned out to be popular, ads became the default on every e-ink Kindle.
Or look at Amazon Prime, which is nothing but a way to bulk-sell shipping charges. By hooking you with a $79 free-shipping subscription, Bezos wins either way. He gets your money even if you never shop at Amazon again. More likely, your "free" shipping deal subtly alters your psychology — thanks only to this business model, you'll remember Amazon every time you think of something you want to buy. I was recently looking back at my Amazon order history. Before 2006, the year I first signed up for Prime, I placed less than 10 orders per year at the site. Prime completely changed my shopping habits. In my first year with the service, I placed 46 orders. This year my household is on track to quadruple that.
Bezos is also a master of finding ways to sell every one of his innovations multiple times. What did he do after building a world-class warehouse and shipping network? He leased it out to other retailers, letting anyone list their wares on Amazon's site and even ship from its warehouses. Amazon only gets a commission on these third-party sales, but since the warehouses and shipping infrastructure were already built, that commission is quite profitable. And it's growing rapidly, with third-party sales now surging faster than the rest of Amazon's sales.
Bezos did a similar thing with his servers. To run its own business, Amazon had to create an accessible server infrastructure that could be used by developers across the company. As Bezos told Wired in 2011, after building it, "we realized, 'Whoa, everybody who wants to build web-scale applications is going to need this.' We figured with a little bit of extra work we could make it available to everybody. We're going to make it anyway — let's sell it."
None of this directly applies to the newspaper business, but these ideas give you a sense of what true business-model innovation looks like. It's not just figuring out how to build a paywall. For the newspaper industry, finding a new way to make money will involve taking a deeper look at all its assets: its staff's talents, the data its readers generate, the trucks that deliver its newsprint, its access to sources — and figuring out how to monetize them in ways that haven't been tried before. The news business presents special restrictions on some of these experiments; Bezos would have to steer away from any business model that calls into question the Post's integrity. But that's obvious, and there's room to innovate within the bounds of journalistic ethics.
At least, I hope there is, and that Bezos spends some time searching for those innovations. I know he's got a demanding day job. But newspapers are just as important as same-day shipping. He's given the Post a new lease on life. But what would really help is a couple of billion-dollar ideas.

The printer was supplied to Carroll Company by Linx’s US distributor Diagraph.
It replaced an older coder from a different manufacturer and since installation has led to greatly reduced downtime and improved throughput on the line.
“The Linx CJ400 is very easy to set up, changeovers take literally a couple of minutes to execute and we have had absolutely no issues with the printer since it was installed, all of which make an important contribution to ensuring that our line operates at maximum efficiency,” comments Joseph L. Ondriezek, COO of Carroll Company.
“In addition, we like the printer’s sleek design, which is very easy to clean and helps to ensure fast changeovers.”
The Linx CJ400 was launched in response to a major global consultation to research the needs of end users.  Offering unique portability, fast set-up and ease of use, it features an Easi-Change Service Module, linux dedicated server,which is changed in minutes, meaning scheduled maintenance can be carried out without the need for a trained technician or costly service calls.  Other innovations deliver a significant reduction on cleaning costs, and ink and solvent consumption.
The Linx CJ400’s unique compact design means it weighs under 30lbs complete with fluids, making it the lightest inkjet printer on the market and well within health and safety limits for one person to pick up. Its easy to use colour touch screen means users do not need complicated manuals or training.
At Carroll Company, the coder is operating at around 40 units per minute, well within its capabilities. “The quality of code is consistently excellent,” confirms Mr Ondriezek.
“This is the second Linx inkjet printer that we have installed, following the purchase of a Linx 4900 in May last year,” he continues. “We remain thoroughly satisfied with the performance of both machines.  They are easy to install and operate and there is little or no maintenance required.  Just as important we have received consistently great service from initial setup through training to on-going advice and support.”
Carroll Company was founded on and remains dedicated to the fundamental business practices of outstanding Quality, Value, and Integrity, and the company looks for the same approach from its equipment and its suppliers.
Divorce is a complicated issue, and while there are many reasons to end a marriage there are also many incentives to avoid a split. Although many may believe that family and emotional distress may be the top reasons why couples avoid divorce, new research suggests that the actual cost of the process is the top concern among troubled couples. As a company that provides an organizational platform for those preparing for divorce, LegalLogs highlights this study, believing that if financial worries could be relieved, many people would exit their unhealthy marriage to enter a better future.
A recent article from The Huffington Post explains the research further and states, “According to a new survey by legal forum Avvo, couples facing divorce say that the cost of splitting up is their number one concern. Avvo surveyed 890 of their consumer users and 447 attorneys in June 2013 and found that the cost of divorce was the biggest concern for 58 percent of respondents without children. Other top concerns included property division (42 percent), the length of time a divorce would take (27 percent) and alimony (22 percent).”
Chris Kennedy, founder of LegalLogs responds, “This survey is important, because it suggests that there is a great deal of unhappy marriages in the U.S. that are simply holding out due to financial worries. Concern over the cost of a divorce should never prevent one from leaving a bad relationship, so it is essential that individuals understand that there are many ways for them to dissolve a marriage in an affordable manner. One of the best ways to alleviate financial anxiety is to stay organized and document everything from financial records to personal evidence to ensure that you have a solid case for divorce.”
According to Chris Kennedy, the need for greater relief from financial and legal burdens during a divorce is what motivated him and co-founder Erik Lane to create LegalLogs. The tool provides a comprehensive, secure platform that allows individuals to thoroughly document any evidence pertaining to a divorce and share it with a trusted attorney.
This emerging resource is not only able to assist with financial organization, but can also strengthen an individual’s presence within a case to protect parental rights. This latter remains a top worry as The Huffington Post article reveals, “For couples with children, cost is second only to custody concerns, which was cited by 53 percent of respondents.”
As a parent that has gone through divorce and faced child custody issues, Chris Kennedy says, “Unfortunately, protecting your parental rights and trying to even gain shared custody will add to the total costs associated with the legal procedures involved in divorce. If you are unprepared or disorganized, the court may take the side of your ex-partner, and thus, waste all your efforts. LegalLogs can help relieve that pressure, protect your assets and strengthen assurance that you can maintain your parental rights.”

Conrad's Restaurant & Alehouse is almost certainly the biggest dining operation in Liberty.It's also clearly a prototype for the kind of combination restaurant and saloon that plays well in various suburbs. I have no trouble picturing another, equally big Conrad's in Olathe or in Lee's Summit.
Shawn Conrad Barber, you see, knows a few things about the restaurant business. For decades, his parents ran the downtown-KC diner Connie's, located from 1968 to 2002 in the Argyle Building , and satellite versions of the same operation in Jefferson City, Missouri, and Sioux City, Iowa. Barber chose a different path, working as a professional photographer.But he has come around to the idea that there might be more money in pork chops than in family portraits.
No one can say he hasn't thought big. Barber has divided the former retail space in two, installing a family-friendly, modestly priced dining room on one side and a noisier, livelier  lounge on the other. The latter, where the majority of Barber's clientele seems to end up, is dominated by a long bar that has 21 beers on tap. There are pool tables, a semi-enclosed patio, TV screens and an interactive golf game. The Alehouse side serves the same menu the dining room does.
On both of my visits, I chose to sit in the less raucous restaurant, which isn't always less noisy. During my first visit, so many small children were packed into the dining room that I feared I'd been escorted into a Chuck E. Cheese by mistake. Apparently, Liberty has a lot of young families who have been waiting for a place that offers the alluring combination of children's menus and $3 glasses of sangria.
That's not really my scene. But one afternoon, I found myself at liberty in Liberty and unexpectedly hungry. From a shopping strip on Highway 291, Conrad's beckoned, offering a more dignified solution than the CiCi's Pizza in the same center.
Even from the outside,MileWeb Exclusive Features Conrad's looks cavernous — nearly the length of a Wal-Mart, I'm telling you. The interior of the dining room is a little clubby — stone walls and dark wood — with a few mounted canvases (you could call them art if you're feeling generous), silk-screened with restaurant platitudes. One reads: "Dining is and always was a great artistic opportunity." Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who never lived to see the age of the highway-ramp strip mall, is credited with that statement. Would he have ordered the $11.99 chicken piccata at Conrad's? It does, after all, come with two side dishes.
My server that evening was a willowy young woman who brought an ecstatic fervor to her descriptions of the better dishes at Conrad's. The menu at this restaurant hews closely to comfort-food favorites — a Cajun-style pasta with andouille sausage and a Chablis sauce is about as exotic as Conrad's gets. She didn't suggest anything especially elaborate, so her advice was pretty much on point.
There are a couple of steaks priced over $20, including an aged 8-ounce filet mignon — it was as tender and perfectly grilled as something from a proper steakhouse. But on my first visit, I decided to order what the couple at the next table seemed very satisfied with: a 10-ounce top sirloin, served with two side dishes, for $16. I've always believed that any joint that can make a cheap steak taste good can do almost anything right, and Conrad's does indeed serve a fine slab of budget beef. What I tried was nearly fork-tender and grilled precisely as I'd ordered it.
My server's guidance went sideways, though, when she steered me toward a "topper" for my steak. The house-made crab cake that came out was nearly as big as the steak, a hefty little puck made with far too much breading and a fearsome amount of black pepper.
"Didn't you like your crab cake?" she asked when she came for the plate. "It's one of our specialties."
I don't know what this "specialty" says about the culinary tastes of Liberty, but it was one of the few misfires I tasted at Conrad's. The grilled applewood shrimp appetizer was another, but only because the five tiny shrimp looked marooned on a big appetizer plate. They needed a saucer.
Far more satisfying were the boneless, bacon-wrapped pork chops, succulent and moist and blanketed with a savory apple-and-bacon chutney. They were particularly good with a mound of creamy mashed potatoes (the real thing) and sautéed fresh broccoli. It was no surprise that the macaroni and cheese here comes in a big portion, but I was pleasantly shocked by its tastiness. Under a crispy crust, the sauce of cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan and pepper jack was delicious.

With increasing regularity, multichannel video operators are experimenting with new ways to deliver programming and launch new channels with the least amount of capital expense and human resources. The current low-margin economics and highly competitive environment dictates it. This has led to the emergence of the so-called "channel-in-a-box" (CIB) category: a 1RU or 2RU system that is basically a video server on steroids. They offer the ability to automatically playout preprogrammed clip lists, insert commercials at exactly the right time, add a channel or network ID logos and graphics, and even adjust audio levels.
Another equally important benefit has been to help playout facilities around the world migrate their SD operations to the HD world cost-effectively and add new features easily. Initial concerns about reliability have also been overcome with the latest generation of server technology and software.
The very idea of a small box doing the job of a traditional automation system — costing many times more to install and maintain — was initially met with resistance from many automation system vendors (many of which now themselves offer CIB systems), but as next-generation playout centers and individual “barker” channels began to consider the integrated system technology, the trend could no longer be ignored. Broadcasters and program distributors need more automation capability to run their digital TV channels, they just don’t want to pay a traditional master control operator to do it.
 Recognizing the sales potential, today there are more than two-dozen companies that offer some type of automated channel playout device (some traditional server vendors, others new to the category). All provide the benefits of simplified operations with fewer user interfaces for greater efficiencies, reduced rack space and lower power consumption (two critical issues for large playout facilities) and easily expandable functionality.
All of these systems,managed dedicated server which address new file-based operations and the need for flexible business models, will be on display at the IBC convention in Amsterdam, Netherlands, next month.
 Is automated playout from an unattended box an innovative new approach? Rush Beesley, president of RushWorks, doesn’t think so. He says his company has offered low-cost, high-performance television production, automation and video streaming systems since 2001. For Beesley, a veteran broadcast engineer and founder of commercial insertion and automation system provider Sundance Digital, automated playout is not a new idea at all.
From 2001 to 2007 RushWorks systems (using software licensed from an overseas vendor) supported from one to four channels of automated playback of MPEG-2 files. The single chassis communicated with routing switchers via serial protocol and supported multiple GPI in and out ports. It also supported one on-screen display or crawl.
Then the company expanded the idea to include full-power broadcasting; LPTV stations, Public, Educational and Government (PEG) channel playback on cable systems, and Internet streaming. They wrote their own software starting in 2006, and rolled out the A-List Broadcast Automation and Streaming System in about a year, along with the complementary VDESK Integrated PTZ Production System for meetings, events and houses of worship. Then they migrated to Matrox OEM cards that support input and output, as well as several layers of graphic compositing that eliminated the need for outboard graphic devices.

Rapper and actor 50 Cent stood silently before a judge on Monday as his attorney entered his plea of not guilty to domestic violence and vandalism charges involving an ex-girlfriend who is the mother of his child.
The performer, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, was given a long list of instructions by Superior Court Judge Bernard J. Kamins, who told him to stay away from Daphne Narvarez and forbid him from contacting her by phone or email.
He also was told not to possess any weapons or try to dissuade witnesses from coming to court.
The 37-year-old "In Da Club" singer was ordered to return to court on Sept. 4 for a pretrial hearing.
Jackson was charged after Narvarez reported that he had trashed her Toluca Lake condo and kicked her during an argument. Police said property worth $7,100 was destroyed.
Outside court, defense attorney Scott Leemon said his client denies the allegations.
Narvarez told police that during a June 23 argument, Jackson began destroying property at her Toluca Lake condo before she locked herself in a bedroom. She also said Jackson kicked open the bedroom door and kicked her, causing injury.
Police said Jackson was gone when they arrived, and they saw broken items including chandeliers, furniture and a television.
Narvarez said she had a three-year relationship with Jackson.
He was charged with domestic violence and four counts of vandalism.. If convicted, he could face up to five years behind bars and $46,000 in fines
Jackson, somber in a dark suit and tie, was rushed out of court to a waiting SUV. A process MileWeb Pre-build Cloud Servers tried to deliver unspecified legal documents to him by placing them on the windshield of the car, but the papers flew away.
The Queens-raised rapper has referenced drug dealing and violence in songs and is known for having survived nine gunshots in an attempted assassination.
Jackson also has worked as an actor. He starred in an autobiographical account of his life as a drug dealer in "Get Rich or Die Tryin'".
Hewlett-Packard reportedly is receiving interest in its low-power Project Moonshot microservers from a number of big-name companies, including Apple and Facebook.
At the same time, Chile’s largest IT services provider, Synapsis, recently announced it is beginning to deploy HP’s Intel-based Moonshot servers into its data center infrastructure, with officials noting significant savings in both floor space and power consumption.
These companies run the kind of scale-out, extremely dense environments that HP is targeting with its Moonshot systems, which were announced in November 2011 and which began to roll out earlier this year.
It’s also an area that is increasingly becoming highly competitive, not only among system makers but also among chip vendors, which are designing low-power systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) aimed at small, dense and energy-efficient microservers.
HP CEO Meg Whitman recently told the CRN Website that the Moonshot systems are generating interest among some major Web 2.0 companies, particularly service providers, including Apple, Facebook—which she said “bought quite a bit of stuff from HP”—and Baidu, China’s largest search engine.
“That whole list of very big scale-out computing companies are all very interested in this,” Whitman told the news site.
Officials at Synapsis in Chile said on the company’s Website that the company has been an HP customer for almost two decades, first installing a high-end HP9000 Superdome Unix system. In 2010, the company embraced HP’s BladeSystem Matrix, a converged data center solution.
Now the company is beginning to install and deploy Moonshot 1500 systems, which are powered by Intel’s Atom S1200 “Centerton” SoCs, which were released in December 2012. Synapsis officials expect the Moonshot systems to save 77 percent in floor space and 89 percent in power consumption over traditional x86-based ProLiant servers.
Trends such as cloud computing, mobility and big data are rapidly changing the workloads that are running in scale-out data centers, where organizations are being asked to process huge numbers of small tasks. These companies are running massive centers, so density, power efficiency and cost are increasingly important.
System vendors like HP, with its Moonshot systems, and Dell, with its Copper initiative, are looking to answer the demand with small, energy-efficient systems that run on a variety of chip platforms, from x86 SoCs from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices to upcoming offerings powered by chips designed by ARM and made by such partners as Calxeda, Marvell Technology and—starting next year—AMD.
Intel is pushing its Atom platform, which was first developed for netbooks, into the microserver space. The company is readying its second generation of Atom server chips, dubbed “Avoton,” for release later this year and in 2014 will unveil the 14-nanometer “Denverton” SoC.  In addition, the company next year will launch a low-power SoC version of the “Broadwell” Xeon technology.
AMD in May announced its x86-based Opteron-X “Kyoto” chips aimed at microservers and is looking to become a significant player in the dense server space via the technology—including systems and the Freedom Fabric—acquired when it bought SeaMicro in February 2012. In addition, AMD starting next year will begin making server SoCs based on ARM designs.
Several chip makers, including Calxeda and Marvell, already are offering 32-bit ARM-based server chips. However, ARM officials expect to begin an aggressive push into the data center when systems based on its upcoming ARMv8 design—which will include 64-bit capabilities and stronger support for virtualization, among other data center features—will begin hitting the market.
