Wild Card -- Tuesday PM
Ada County prosecutors have charged BSU footballer Cam Hall with three counts of felony vehicular manslaughter for his role in a triple highway fatality here. *Neither Memorial Day weekend campers or the smelly Kootenai County landfill provided clues in the search for two children missing from the scene of a triple murder near Coeur d'Alene earlier this month here. *With tougher Washington laws, officials say, meth labs may move to Idaho here. .

Sun to unveil stackable data-centre boxes
Giving a new meaning to the term "portable computer", Sun plans to sell a working data centre packaged in a stackable shipping container. On Tuesday, the company plans to unveil "Project Blackbox", which tucks several racks of computing gear, along with the necessary power and cooling equipment, into a standard shipping container 8ft wide, 8ft tall and 20ft long. Jonathan Schwartz, the server and software company's new chief executive, is scheduled to promote the idea in a car park outside the company's California facilities. Sun believes the technology will appeal to customers who are running out of space in their current data centres, providing backup computing gear for disaster recovery services, or setting up operations in remote locations, said Dave Douglas, Sun's vice president of advanced technology.
Aussie military planes provide flood aid
AUSTRALIAN defence force planes have joined a critical aid mission for thousands of flood victims in Papua New Guinea, as looting broke out in hard-hit Oro province. Last week's floods left thousands homeless, and officials fear the death toll of about 160 could rise dramatically unless food and clean water supplies quickly reach survivors. There are security fears in Oro province, north of the capital Port Moresby, after looters made off with a rice shipment and local MPs were accused of commandeering relief supplies for their own villages. Australia today sent in two C-130 Hercules transport aircraft and two smaller Caribous to start distributing AusAID supplies, including water purification tablets, emergency shelters, blankets and generators.
