A tech question for source writers. My company is using the latest greatest version of cabnetware (planit). Every upgrade causes compatibility issues when accessing files written under previous versions. More to the point I have told my upper management to download all closed accounts to a portable or standalone drive instead of archiving and delete the previous versions they were designed with. It seems something will over ride commands from the design computer synced with the CNC - bypassing the set parameters- to a template (that exists) but is unincorporated. Randomly picking a "new" parameter. Is it the ghost Of...

This cat of me has owned yus for many years. She screams to be free, but when you let her out, she screams to come back inside. Now I like this cat. But the only two other things she will eat (besides dry catfood) are refried beans and popcorn....

In an almost palpable irony, Russian and U.S. officials simultaneously announced their intent to move forward with controversial arms transfers to opposing sides in the Syrian civil war Monday.

The charges offered few details of what happened that night.

I am requesting prayer for my father in law who is failing. I would like to add to that request a prayer for my wife who has been given, by her father, the right to make the final decision.

There was a small storm moving across the way this morning. With the sun just coming up it was producing a rainbow effect in the storm. So I got my little Kodak camera out and started filming, hoping to catch some of the lightning, too. When I was looking at it frame by frame to see how well one of the lightning strikes showed up, I was surprised with this 3 frame sequence. This bolt of lightning seemed to generate itself in my backyard. The storm was a couple of miles away. Thought it was interesting. Thought I would share.

The study, led by professor of nutrition Barry Popkin from the University of North Carolina, looked at data from food studies conducted as far back as the 1970s and discovered that Americans have increased their daily caloric intake. In 1977-78, Americans were consuming on average 1,803 kcal and in 2003-06 that number had jumped up to 2,374. The study examined the amount of calories in a specific amount of food, portion sizes that were consumed and how many snacks and meals were consumed within a day. Looking at the results, the researchers concluded that portion size and the amount of...

Moon watchers will be greeted tonight with a "rare" and "beautiful" supermoon that's significantly larger than usual moons, according to NASA. One, it has to be a full moon, meaning it appears as a full circle. This happens about once every 29 days when the moon moves to the complete opposite side of the sun with the earth in the middle. When this happens, the sun illuminates the full visible side of the moon, thereby giving it a complete circular shape. Two, the moon's distance needs to be close to the earth. The moon's orbit is oval, so on some...

For emergency planning purposes, scientists unveiled a hypothetical California scenario that describes a storm that could produce up to 10 feet of rain, cause extensive flooding (in many cases overwhelming the state's flood-protection system) and result in more than $300 billion in damage. The "ARkStorm Scenario," prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey and released at the ARkStorm Summit in Sacramento on Jan. 13-14, combines prehistoric geologic flood history in California with modern flood mapping and climate-change projections to produce a hypothetical, but plausible, scenario aimed at preparing the emergency response community for this type of hazard. The USGS, the Federal...

POCATELLO, Idaho -- Police have found the body of an unborn child in Pocatello. The body was left in a box at a home off of Hiline Road. Police received a call Sunday from a Shelley woman named Brenda Carnahan who had heard about the incident and was concerned. Police found the fetus in a box, and sent it to the coroner's office for an autopsy. Any potential charges are pending the results of the autopsy, because police don't know if this was a miscarriage or an abortion. Bannock County prosecutor Mark Heideman has been contacted by police, and he...

ST. ANTHONY, Idaho -- In light of Veteran's Day, one former soldier's father is raising his American flag upside down to show he remembers his son's sacrifice. Many may think it's a sign of disrespect, but the military uses it as a distress signal. The U.S. flag code state "the flag should never be displayed with union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property." Curtis Carnahan said his son, Sgt. Evan Vela, has spent more than three years in prison and is, along with other veterans, in distress, And he...

IDAHO FALLS - "Evan is not a murderer he is a soldier," says Evan Vela's father, Curtis Carnahan. Freedom, that's what Curtis Carnahan wants for his 25-year-old son, Evan Vela, a U.S. Army Sniper convicted of murder. Vela is currently waiting for his parole hearing October 7th in Arlington, Virgina. He was convicted of murdering an Iraqi civilian in Baghdad in February 2008, then sentenced for ten years at Fort Leavenworth Prison. In order for Vela to be released early, the Army Parole Board needs to hear a parole plan and the parole panel's remarks. Vela's family has been working...

In 1995, Stewart moved to the Idaho Falls area and got involved with the Disabled American Veterans in 1997 when he volunteered to drive their van.

IDAHO FALLS - An Idaho soldier convicted of murder in Iraq is seeking a plan for parole. 25-year-old Evan Vela was convicted in Bagdhad back in February 2008. A clemency hearing is scheduled for June 3rd, to hear the prison's recommendations for clemency. However, the Army Board in Arlington Virginia asked Vela's attorney to submit a parole plan for him. Vela's father explained to me his son was only following orders. He was told, in 2007, while under a mission in Iraq, to kill an Iraqi civilian. So he did. Now he is convicted of murder; however, with the Army...

ST. ANTHONY -- The family of Evan Vela, an imprisoned former soldier from Parker, is expressing gratitude for a Christmas donation to his wife and children. The donation came about through efforts by a national organization to support soldiers accused of crimes related to the war on terrorism. Vela is being held at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. In an e-mail, the organization, United American Patriots, says an anonymous donor has made a cash gift of $1,000 to Vela's wife, Alyssa, along with Christmas presents for the couple's two children, a boy and a girl. snipFor more information,...
