The new XML Protocol effort supports the interaction of two computer programs via XML messages. Web fill-in forms have been used extensively to allow humans to interact with computer programs. This proposal explores the potential for web fill-in forms to use the new XML Protocol.
Allowing web clients to submit forms directly in XMLP format reduces the complexity of some kinds of applications. It allows XMLP service to be developed for both human and machine inputs without pointless reformatting front ends. It allows debugging of XMLP services directly with web browsers. Furthermore, a system of XMLP-based services could arise that users could compose by applying ad-hoc human intelligence rather than the planned intelligence of a developer.
The basis for this proposal is the XML-based Web fill-in form approach called XFORMs. The XFORMs Working Group documents have solicited an XML Protocol-based submission solution. Thus in part this proposal addresses that request.
The basic mechanism for integrating XML Protocol and XFORMs can be quite easily
described and seems likely to be quite powerful in its application. An XFORM
server simply places a complete XML Protocol message in the
element of the
xform descriptor in the web page header. The Web
browser then has a local copy of the XMLP message. Since the body of the XML
Protocol message is serialized XML data, the values in that data can be addressed
by XFORMs operators and presented to human users for modification. When the
submit button is pressed, the now-modified XMLP message is sent
to the server (or rather to the destination address supplied with the form).
The mechanism proposed here is might be adaptable to XHTML web browsers that do not support the complete XFORMs solution. This proposal discusses one approach to XHTML.
The submission of an XMLP message using the XFORMs
postXML method
will not be quite adequate unless the XFORMs Working Group changes
Therefore this proposal is write as a prototype specification for a form submission
method called
postXMLP to parallel the
postXML method
in XFORMs. The primary additional specification we add here concerns submission
of binary data.
(I will switch between XMLP and SOAP, using XMLP when I talk about abstractions or W3C and SOAP when I talk about specific protocols. This is an expression of the obvious: SOAP is concrete prototype for a potential W3C standard called XMLP.)
The XForms project [2] defines a layered, XML based approach for defining interactive
forms. The existing documents refer to a
postXML submission method
and the submission of XML-encoded data. We propose an additional submission
method based on XMLP.
Form submission is a component in an overall messaging model. A messaging model defines how messages are packaged and transmitted for a given service. For XForms, this primarily relates to how forms are transmitted to the user and submitted by the user. The model defines what data to send, in what format, and what results to expect; for the user, it also defines the actions taken to submit a form.
The recently proposed XML Protocol (XMLP) [1] is uniquely suited for XForms transmission because it is also XML based and it is specifically designed to address the complete range of issues associated with XML communications. As we will describe below, the integration of XMLP into the current XForms proposal would require only minor changes to the current proposal and the addition of some specifications relating to the XMLP protocol itself.
XMLP is the current W3C proposal for a standardized message format, designed for data encapsulation and data serialization, and based on non-exclusive transport mechanisms [1]. The W3C working group has taken Simple Object Access Protocol [5], as its starting point for discussions.These attributes of XMLP recommend it for form submission:
Integrating XMLP and XForms would only require the addition of a submission method using XMLP. Existing submission methods need not be effected by this proposal.
To the extent that web services become formulated in terms of XMLP messages, the ability to edit these messages within a web browser allows human interaction into a system designed for machine-to-machine operation. Unless we expect web services to be significantly more reliable and adaptable than other kinds of software, this direct interaction capability seems valuable and important all by itself.
Beyond desktop browsers, XFORMs seeks to address digital "appliances",
small handheld special purpose devices. Therefore consider a user intent on
adding photos to their online album, a wireless digital camera with a TCP/IP
stack and a photo album service. An application can be built to acheive this
that would have parts in the camera and parts in the service. If the camera
could interpret simple XFORMs and allow images to be attached to
elements with
type=binary on the form, then form submission would
accomplish image upload. The service could be programmed to accepted these forms
and add the image to the album.
If the form client submitted XMLP messages and the service were programmed to accept XMLP messages, then that service could also be used by desk top computer file upload applications, both controlled by a program or by a human operating through a web browser. Other clients like scanners can upload to the service using the same form submission mechanism. A scanner that created an incompatible image format for the photo album could be accomodated by simply inserting a tranformation service in the pipeline between the client and the photo album service. In these cases we can switch between a human filling in a form and a programming sending a message since the form client sends messages in the same format as program would.
It is the case that this mechanism only applies when the service is designed within the limitations of the content types that a form-fill-in client can offer. The spectrum of applications on the World-Wide Web testify to the efficacy of working within such limitations. In addition we envision a greater breadth of content types arising from web browsers extended with sensors.
(This section is intended to give you something to complain about...)
All aspects of the form specification for
method=postXML apply
method=postXMLP except for the format of the data posted by
the client. Specifically the user of the form should not be able to detect a
difference except by reading the source for the page.
Within the header of a page with a form to be sent via
there must be an
xform element with an
instance child.
The child of this
instance element must have the format of a valid
SOAP 1.1 message. The values of elements in this message represent the initial
state for form fill in. The form fill in operation may change the values of
elements. When the form is submitted, the content within the
element, with modified values, is submitted. In other words, the form filling
operation edits the orginal SOAP 1.1 proto-message.
Consequently the XFORMs schema may have to be adapted to allow the SOAP overhead elements (envelop, header, body and others) to appear without XFORMs failure.
The data stream sent under
method=postXMLP will be a SOAP 1.1
message. The SOAP body of this message will contain well-formed XML consisting
of the form instance data serialized according to SOAP 1.1 rules. Since every
form instance datatype is derived from an XML Schema datatype [XSchema-2]
and every XML Schema datatype can be serialized using SOAP 1.1 rules, then every
instance datatype has a SOAP 1.1 serialization. Generally the SOAP serialization
is a natural one for XML. Informally one can say that the SOAP 1.1 serialization
is character equivalent to the XML instance data representation discussed in
the XFORMs documentation. The formal connection is given by these rules:
|XFORMs datatype
|SOAP Serialization
|atomic (5.3.1)
|simple value
|enumerations (5.3.2)
|enumerations (section 5.2.2 in SOAP 1.1)
|groups (5.3.3) and switches (5.3.6)
|compound values with the XFORMs
name attribute used
for the SOAP accessor.
|arrays (5.3.5)
|unions (5.3.4)
|polymorphic accessors, (section 5.3 in SOAP 1.1)
Note that all of the XFORMs datatype can be serialized; there maybe SOAP serializations that cannot be put into forms. (like...)
The remaining XFORMs datatype is
binary. SOAP 1.1 is strictly
an XML protocol: it does not have a mechanism for sending non-XML data. Consequently
binary data can be sent only if it is either encoded or attached to the SOAP
message. SOAP Messages with Attachments [Attachments]
provides an attachment mechanism quite similar to the
submisssion mechanism in XFORMs. We adapt this mechanism here.
If a form contains any
binary data items, then the submitted form
will have MIME structure
Multipart/related. The first or root part
will be a SOAP 1.1 message formatted as described above. For each
data item in a form, the submitted SOAP message will have a MIME part whose
type matches one of the
mediaType values given in the form model.
Content-Location value (a URI) in the MIME header for that
MIME part will be referenced by an
href attribute of the corresponding
form instance data element in the SOAP body.
If relative URI addressing is used as described in SOAP Messages with Attachments
[Attachments], the XFORMs binding
expression for the
binary element can be used as the URI in
the instance data href and the corresponding MIME type
header. The binding expression looks like an XPATH through the form instance
Here is an example of a form with a string and a binary element:
<xform xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/xforms" id="photo_upload" action="http://myphotoservice.com/addphoto.asp", method="postXMLP"> <model> <string name="album_id" /> <binary name="photo"> <mediaType>image/jpeg</mediaType> <mediaType>image/png</mediaType> </binary> </model> <instance> <xmlp:Envelope xmlns:xmlp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <xmlp:Body> <album_id>John's Great Adventure</album_id> <photo></photo> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> </instance> </xform>   <xform:input ref="photo_upload/xmlp:Envelope/xmlp:Body/photo">Select Photo </input> <xform:submit xform="photo_upload"> Add to <output ref="photo_upload/xmlp:Envelope/xmlp:Body/album_id"> photo album</submit>
(The current XFORMs proposal does not have the
xform:input element
for a binary input shown above. A separate
proposal describes it). When the submit button is pushed, submitted data
would be
MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Multipart/Related; boundary=MIME_boundary; type=text/xml; start="<firstname.lastname@example.com/s445>" Content-Description: This is the optional message description. --MIME_boundary Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-ID: <email@example.com/s445> Content-Location: addphoto.xml <?xml version='1.0' ?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <xform:instance> <album_id>John's Great Adventure</album_id> <photo href="photo_upload/photo"/> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> --MIME_boundary Content-Type: image/jpeg Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-ID: <firstname.lastname@example.com/s445> Content-Location: "photo_upload/photo" ...binary JPEG image... --MIME_boundary-
Note that the value for the album_id came out of the instance data downloaded from the server and the image was added at the client.
The above discussion was focused on the new XForms proposal. We could also
integrate XMLP submission into the XHTML forms model. For this case we propose
the addition of a new
enctype=multipart/related. This acts like
a third component to section 17.13.4
Form content types of the HTML 4.0.1 specfication. It resembles the second
form conten type,
enctype=multipart/related the submitted data has MIME type
multipart/related. The first MIME part will be a MIME type
part that contains a SOAP 1.1 message. The body of that SOAP message consists
XML elements cooresponding to each form control in the same order they apper
in the form. The elements are named according to the HTML 4.0.1 naming convention
multipart/form-data MIME parts. HTML 4.0.1 uses the following
definition for a MIME part name:
a name attribute specifying the control name of the corresponding control. Control names originally encoded in non-ASCII character sets may be encoded using the method outlined in [RFC2045].
A control name is defined as:
A control's "control name" is given by its name attribute. The scope of the name attribute for a control within a FORM element is the FORM element
enctype=multipart/related these control names are
used as element names. The control name may be namespace qualified; that qualification
must be maintained when the form data is submitted.
For element values we have two cases: text-entry controls and file input controls.
input type=file control results in an attachment. The
corresponding XML element appears in the SOAP message as above, but no element
value appears. Rather an
href attribute is included that references
to the MIME attachment as specified in SOAP Message with Attachments. User
agents may use the control name as the attachment's
value or the file name on the local operating system encoded for use as a
The following example illustrates "multipart/related" encoding. Suppose we have the following form:
<FORM action="http://server.com/cgi/handle" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
 What is your name? <INPUT type="text" name="submit-name">
 What files are you sending? <INPUT type="file" name="files">
 <INPUT type="submit" value="Send"> <INPUT type="reset"> </FORM>
If the user enters "Larry" in the text input, and selects the text file "file1.txt", the user agent might send back the following data:
MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Multipart/Related; boundary=MIME_boundary; type=text/xml; start="<firstname.lastname@example.com/s445>" Content-Description: This is the optional message description. --MIME_boundary Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-ID: <firstname.lastname@example.com/s445> Content-Location: s13rr5.xml <?xml version='1.0' ?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <submit-name>Larry</submit-name> <file href="file1.txt" /> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
--MIME_boundary Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <email@example.com/s445> Content-Location: = file1.txt
... contents of file1.txt ... --MIME_boundary-
XMLP provides a standard mechanism for intermediation in the form of XML co-messages
packaged in "headers" with the primary XML message (the "body").
For forms to be complete XMLP senders we need a mechanism to specify these headers.
Essentially these headers are data from the source of the form (server) to the
target of the submission. They have a role similar to the "
type=hidden" fields in HTML forms.
For XFORMs, the headers can simply be placed in the instance data. Here is an example:
 <xform xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/xforms" id="photo_upload" action="http://myphotoservice.com/addphoto.asp", method="postXMLP"> <model> <string name="album_id" /> <binary name="photo"> <mediaType>image/jpeg</mediaType> <mediaType>image/png</mediaType> </binary> </model> <instance> <xmlp:Envelope xmlns:xmlp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <xmlp:Header> <ads:bundle-id xmlns:ads="a_uri">http://example.com/cookie/53A6C2209</ads:bundle-id> </xmlp:Header> <xmlp:Body> <album_id>John's Great Adventure</album_id> <photo></photo> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> </instance> </xform>   <xform:input ref="photo_upload/xmlp:Envelope/xmlp:Body/photo">Select Photo </input> <xform:submit xform="photo_upload"> Add to <output ref="photo_upload/xmlp:Envelope/xmlp:Body/album_id"> photo album</submit>
Since the header elements of the eventual SOAP message appear in the instance they can be copied to submission. Moreover values in the headers can be edited (filled-in) by users or by the user agent on the user's behalf. For example, the user agent could fill in the digest value and signature value in a Digital Signature [SOAP-dsig].
Adding hidden XMLP header content to XHTML forms cannot use the XHTML
type=hidden solution now used in XHTML forms. Under
the value field of such an input field is written into the form body. To parallel
the proposal for XFORMs, we need to provide a prototype for the XMLP message
that can be modified by the client.
For this purpose servers would place
xform:instance content in
to the
head section of web pages. Within the body of the web page,
HTML 4.0.1 form elements would have one additional attribute named
whose value would be an XPATH to the XML data within the XMLP body of the
A typical value would be "
This attribute gives the browser's submission logic a means for locating the
data within prototype message. Within the form,
input elements
control name would appended to the instance attribute value to locate the the
slot in the message that their data is designed to fill. (Incidently this provides
an intermediate point for the XHTML to XFORMs transition).
Two cases have to be satisifed in the XHTML case. First we need to show that recently developed existing browsers would not be broken by XMLP-related content. Second we need to show that new browsers would be able perform as XMLP senders similar to a full XFORMs client.
Existing browsers, under their usual approach of ignoring content the cannot
understand, may accept an XMLP message prototype in the
head section
of downloaded pages:
User agents do not generally render elements that appear in the HEAD as content.
Similarly, the proposed form
instance attributes should be transparent:
If a user agent encounters an attribute it does not recognize, it should ignore the entire attribute specification (i.e., the attribute and its value). [HTMLExtension]
Thus it seems that existing browsers, to the extent that the follow the HTML 4.0.1 standard, will ignore the added text needed to support XMLP submission. Furthermore they should operate correctly as forms under HTML 4.0.1. They won't of course send XMLP messages on submission.
Future browsers with minor extension could submit XMLP messages. At submission,
the values of form input elements would simply be placed in the appropriates
slots as identified above and the entire message posted to the address given
in the
form element.
In reality, since there is no open XHTML follow-on other than XFORMs, the acceptance of this aspect of our proposal depends on the interests of users and browser implementors.

Within the XFORMs proposal, the XMLP headers naturally fit in to the
child element of the
xform element. The XFORMs approach
uses a template for the form in the header for the web page containing the form.
This template specifies the form datatypes and initial values for form entries.
Also specfied is the submission protocol under the
submit element.
This element includes a
submissionExtension child that can carry
the XMLP headers. The simple procedure of placing the XMLP headers to be sent
with the message verbatim within a submissionExtension element will suffice
for headers with XML content. The XMLP headers must not be immediately enclosed
in a XMLP envelope; this will insure that the headers are not intended for the
forms client. The XMLP headers, as an extracted string, must be well-formed.
method=postXMLP The forms client will copy the characters
from the
submissionExtension into the XMLP message envelop just
above the XMLP body.
Here is an example:
<xform xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/02/xforms" id="poll"> <submit> <target>"http://example.com/app1"<target/> <submitExtension> <SOAP:Header> <bundle-id>http://example.com/cookie/53A6C2209</bundle-id> </SOAP:Header> </submitExtension> </submit> <model> <simple> <number name="choiceCode" enum="closed"> <value>-1</value> <value>10</value> <value>20</value> <value>30</value> </number> </simple> </model> </xform>

The dance company, founded earlier this year, is based at the Menlo Park Academy of Dance studios, and is set to give its premiere performance on Nov. 5 at the Bayside Performing Arts Center in San Mateo.
DEBUT! will showcase three works choreographed by Menlowe Ballet co-founder and artistic director Michael Lowe, whose career includes some 28 years as an Oakland Ballet dancer and choreographer.
The Nov. 5 performance will include the world premiere of Mr. Lowe's "Cirque" — a lively, richly textured story-in-movement of "a dysfunctional circus" whose performers ultimately find the connecting thread to unite them, Mr. Lowe says.
Along with Mr. Lowe, Lisa Shiveley of Atherton and Sarah-Jane Measor, co-owner of the Menlo Park Academy of Dance, are company co-founders. Ms. Shiveley is executive director of the new enterprise, and Ms. Measor — who is married to Mr. Lowe — is the assistant artistic director.
The company was launched after a successful performance in January of one of Mr. Lowe's works, "Chuntian," in Fresno, according to Ms. Shiveley, who studied and performed ballet for many years as a child and young adult. She says she got to know Mr. Lowe several years ago when they both took a class at the Academy of Dance, but she knew about him long before.
"I idolized him most of my dancing life," she says, explaining that she had seen him perform a number of times when he danced with the Oakland Ballet.
Ms. Shiveley traveled to the "Chuntian" performance in Fresno, and was so impressed by it that, when talk began to percolate about the chances of keeping the momentum alive among the performers by forming a new company, she offered her services and start-up funding.
"I was so moved as part of that (Fresno) audience," she says. "Dance has the power to move people and give them greater access to their own humanity. In doing so, we get more connected to the essence of who we are, and to one another.
"It's an honor to be part of something that moves people in this way, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity."
"Chuntian," also on the Nov. 5 program, was inspired by the watercolors created by Mr. Lowe's mother, he says. It is of a genre of dance he has become noted for: a contemporary form that borrows from classical dance, but is rooted in cultural themes. The title means "In the Spring" in Mandarin.
Mr. Lowe's early work, "Bamboo," put him on the map in the world of choreography, he says, noting that for its premiere performance, he both directed the dance and conducted the music, performed by Melody of China. "Bamboo" inspired the exquisite "Double Happiness," which will be performed in the company's second major performance, this spring at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts.
In creating the company, Mr. Lowe says he looked for dancers who, first and foremost, have "clean and strong technique, followed by good instincts (and) musicality."
Asked why the Peninsula needs one more dance company, Ms. Shiveley notes that Menlowe Ballet "is not looking to compete" with other dance troupes, but to augment the choices for local audiences. "And the cultural aspect of what Michael offers is really not offered much elsewhere," she adds.
Mr. Lowe says the company's intent "is to offer Bay Area audiences a poignant dose of heart and soul, creating an opportunity to look at something from a different perspective."
In addition to "Cirque" and "Chuntian," the Nov. 5 company debut will feature a performance of "Plague."
Debut performance
• "DEBUT!" will be performed at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Bayside Performing Arts Center, 2025 Kehoe Ave. in San Mateo. Tickets are $25 to $40.
• Visit menloweballet.org or call 510-522-6096 to order tickets, get more information about the dance company, and watch several performance videos.

Do you like to laugh? Do you like nice hotels? Do you like edgy magazines? If you answered yes to those three questions then you'll probably appreciate this article.
Marriott Hotels & Resorts and WIRED have teamed up with a strategic partnership for the new WIRED Insider Culturazzi Series hosted by Marriott Hotels & Resorts. The partnership brings interesting and exciting content, including a hilarious evening on the rooftop of the Marriott Marina del Rey with emerging and established comedians presented by popular comedy video website Funny or Die.
Marriott asked me to attend and write about the event. I love comedy and live near the best comedy clubs in New York. When I found out I'd get to go to LA, go backstage and actually interview some of the comedians and get to know them, I jumped at the opportunity.
Backstage in the green room I got a chance to privately interview two of the comedians. First up was Kristen Schaal who currently plays the role of Hazel on 30 Rock. I had never actually seen 30 Rock but I knew it was a really popular show so I was excited to meet Kristen. She was super cool.
I had never done an interview with anyone before where I was the one asking the questions so I had no idea what to do. However, I think that made the interview better because it was more of a chat. We chatted about her career and where she's traveled. I gave her some stellar advice on where to go in New Zealand on a trip she has coming up including where to bungee jump! She said she'd never do it but I am pretty sure that I had her sold by the end of the chat as she wrote it down!
Next up was a private chat with Maria Bamford who has appeared numerous times on Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel and has a great voice. She was a real interesting person to talk to. I didn't even really ask her any questions; she just started asking me questions after I gave her my business card. That made my life easier and also relaxed her and we got to chatting about TV and being on camera.
She also gave me some funny insights on what it's like to hang out with a bunch of other comedians in a room. You can imagine that's a weird dynamic. Like who takes the lead funny role, do they try and one up-out funny each other, do they talk about anything normal and serious, etc?
After those two private interviews it was time for the event to start and I headed upstairs to my front row seat to watch the show and about 7 different comedians do their thing. While everyone was really good, especially Kristen and Maria, I have to give my nod to TJ Miller as my favorite of the night.
TJ is a guy with a lot of TV, stand up and movie experience and is frequently on Conan O'Brien. The reason I liked him the most is because he is my favorite type of comedian, one who messes with people in the audience. Ya you guessed it, he messed with me big time and repeatedly!
I love that stuff and often try to sit up front because I love when they mess with you and I love to fire back in small comedy clubs. This was a much bigger room and audience and he relentlessly came after me about me having two buttons undone on my button down shirt! (Honestly, it wasn't bad, but comedians will get on one thing and not stop about it.)
It was hilarious and normally I would fire back but TJ was on stage, on a roll and actually had some body spray he drained onto his face whilst he was messing with me and other audience members so what can you say to a guy like that. Nothing, you just laugh! It was hilarious!
After the event the comedians and everyone went down to the Glow Lounge at the Marriott Marina del Rey and enjoyed the free drinks and great company. They had some Funny or Die cameramen going around doing interviews with the people who had attended the event. I did one and would love to see what I said! That said, it was a great time and I am really excited to attend the next Culturazzi event!
Disclaimer: I was compensated by Marriott for attending the event in this article. However, the views expressed are completely my own.

Iranian F-14 Tomcat fighter jets get a modern "splinter" color scheme
The photo in this post depicts the first Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force F-14AM ("Modernized") landing at Tehran Mehrabad International Airport in April 2012.
Iran still operates some Tomcats that are being modernized to extend their operative life. Domestic upgrades include avionics, weapons (R-73E, AIM-54A+ "Fakkur", AIM-54A, AIM-7E and AIM-9J are among the air to air missiles adapted to the aircraft's fire control system) and color scheme: indeed the plane was give a three-tone Asian Minor II camouflage pattern resembling the one adopted by Russian 4th and 5th generation fighter planes and U.S. Aggressors.

The Shah DID see a flyoff between the F-15 and F-14. F-15 went first, and while it was doing its' flight display the Grumman test pilot started his engines in the run-up area to burn off fuel so that when it came time for him to fly the under-powered F-14 it was carrying a lighter fuel load and he flew a SPECTACULAR demonstration. Pretty smart!
Besides – the Shah probably had already made up his mind in favor of the F-14 over F-15 even before the demo because he wanted Phoenix to be able to chase off high-flying, often-intruding Soviet MIG-25s. As it turned out, one sniff of the F-14's AWG-9 radar and the MIGs would turn North and quickly run away! The Soviets dared not lose one of their aircraft over Iranian airspace. Having F-14 on guard sent that message to them LOUD AND CLEAR. The overflights stopped!

Well the US sold them F-4s as well for the air to air and air to ground mission. These were used in some small middle east conflicts of the 70's when Iran was considered an friendly regional power.

To be fair, pretty much every enemy of the US over the last 15 years has been a country or person that was aided by the US about 20 years before that.
- John Smith
We make a lot of enemies, often deservedly so. It ain't easy not to when you appoint yourself "World Police."
- wmac
The premise is wrong… Iran has no reason of being an enemy of US unless US pokes them every now and then… Iran is a country several thousands of kilometers away and it has not attacked any country in centuries , let alone the US…
- CinCin
- Chiefy707
Very interested in what avionics and systems changes Iran has made. Especially in the engines.
- ask2wice
So Iran keeps the F-14 flying while the U.S. Navy goes and does the stupid thing and replaces it with the far less capable (to an upgraded F-14) F/A-18E/F? Which they now want to modernize … oh, if they can't afford to purchase F-35s, that single-engine mistake that should never have been forced down the Navy's probably hoarse throat (or perhaps agreed to by weak-kneed Pentagon paper-pushing Admirals)? Simply AMAZING!!!
The USN should have taken the F-14, re-engined with 2-30,000 lb thrust [class] super cruise engines, added canards, fly-by-wire, AESA, IRST, cantilevered vertical stabs (aka; Silent eagle), a stealth weapons pod attached to the belly, added fuel tanks down the mid upper-center line … plus modernized ECM … and what they would have had was a world-class fighter-bomber/interceptor WITH LEGS that could have attacked any point on the globe (just about) while the carrier stayed far out to sea and out of ever-increasing zones of danger! And it would have probably performed better and cost less than the "jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none" semi-stealth F-35 – an aircraft that does NOT belong on a carrier! You'd have thought after the F-111 debacle that Congress would have learned something. Never …
- Chiefy707
You have to wonder how the entire Tomcat program would have panned out if it were more of an export success, if it got better funding throughout its life, if the Marines used it, and especially if its air to ground capability were put to use from the outset.
Still my favorite jet and glad that at least it went out with a loud impressive bang Rushed psuedo develoopment as a strike fighter and ended up being more capable than the Strike Eagle.
- FoilHatWearer
The problem with the F-14 is that they just ran out of airframe hours. Every jet has a finite life and the F-14 hit that number of flight hours. (I know, everybody is going to say, "But the B-52 is lasting 50 years plus." But the B-52 isn't out going Mach 2 and pulling 9g.)
The last F-14 was delivered in 1992. That was a mistake, production should've continued.
- ask2wice
They kept producing and updating the F-15, which first flew at about the same time (aprox. '69/'70). They should have done the same with the F-14. My thought being – let these new drones (which they should have known were coming) go in to take out enemy air defenses, then let the F-14s come in from a distance to either launch standoff weapons or barrel on in to enemy airspace supported by drones, Prowler or Growler, and internal ECM support systems. A/C Carrier stays far away and safe – enemy gets a heck of a spanking by an aircraft, the F-14, which has a large payload capacity and could fight it's way in and out!
… and this could have been done at far less the cost of producing Navy F-35s or the totally redesigned F/A-18 E/F. F-35 being way too expensive an aircraft – way too vulnerable for carrier operations given it's single-engine configuration – and F/A-18E/F being inferior to what could have been a new and better Tomcat. Guess Grumman couldn't play politics as well as its' competitors. Or Dick Cheney just didn't like them!
On a little bit of a different note – – – With drone technology on the way in, the USN needs to rethink aircraft procurement and carrier aircraft fit-out. Now that the F-14 is gone, buy fewer F-35s and have the Carrier Air Group consist of drones, F/A-18 E/F, Growler and a fewer F-35s. This would enable drone/F-35 deep penetration for high-value targets (air defenses) at the beginning of an air campaign. Of course once air superiority is established, there is much less of a need for stealth capability and the F-18s could then go in and pound away with precision attack weapons. And the COST SAVINGS of having fewer F-35s would be tremendous!
By the way – with drones you could fit more aircraft on a carrier, and maybe then there would be less of a need for maintaining 11 of those costly, vulnerable, too-big-to-lose (or like banks~ too-big-to-fail) behemoths! Soon one carrier may be able to do the work of two given drone technology and precision strike weapons – many of which can be fired from other platforms. And they could be standoff weapons! Lots of little guys out there have very dangerous diesel-electric submarines that pose a great danger to the CVN and its' Task Force.
Oh if only the Navy could think/have its way and the defense establishment could be reigned in from all of these way-too-expensive programs. Probably won't ever happen – unless and until the U.S. goes BANKRUPT!
- Robert
The only problem with that scenario is that the Russian's advanced anti-ship missiles like Yakhont may have made carriers obsolete. The Navy admits there is no defense against Yakhont as it has a range of almost two hundred miles travels at mach 2.5 and doesn't miss. It's like an Excocet on steroids; http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/row/ss-n-26.htm
We have nothing even close in our arsenal of anti-ship weapons.
- HairTeethAndEyeBalls
My only question here is: Is this just another "great premise" that the Russians trot out(like all those bad-ass, vectored thrust, super-maneuverable, airshow jets they have) that never really makes it to front-line service because of prohibitive cost and/or no export customers to fund them?
- FoilHatWearer
The Cobra maneuver is really cool until an F-15 or F-16 gives them an AMRAAM where the sun doesn't shine (like in Bosnia).
- HG Bellow
I always like when there is a anti carrier missile everyone says there is no need for carriers. Well a $75K AIM-9X can shoot down drones and fighters, does that make them obsolete?
And if it wasn't for carriers the opening stages of war in Afghanistan would have been a year away, vice a month.
- FrankW
Most Tomcats were built before 1985, that was a long time ago. The plane is just old, and VG is obsolete. VG has not been used in a fighter design since the early 1970's; it is obsolete as far as fighter aerodynamics are concerned. The plane has a giant RCS thanks to its large intakes and visible engine fan blades. The F-14 needed to be retired, but its replacement (F/A-18E) is a joke. What the navy needs is a modern twin engine LO fighter, not outdated F-14s, F-18s, or the underwhelming F-35C. Maybe a naval version of the F-22 Raptor with uprated engines would have worked. But to keep insisting that a plane designed in the late 1960's would still be viable in today's modern battlefield is just ridiculous.
- FoilHatWearer
They're still putting out new Strike Eagles. The F-16 is still in production but Lockheed (formerly Gen. Dynamics) won't sell them to us. The F-22/F-35 lobby is very strong.
- jimmbbo
Also, the B52 has had dozens of mods/fixes/updates to allow it to keep on truckin'… Besides… it's PAID FOR ;)
- Capt. Maverick
B-52's don't do a lot of fly-by on the air tower or 1v1 against Viper.
- Michael J
The F-14Ds were still fairly new when they were moth-balled. The program was canceled to save money or at least that is the excuse given by Cheney when he was Secretary of Defense.
- HairTeethAndEyeBalls
A lot of those "Ds(the bulk of them to be precise)" were "remans" to begin with so they already had hours before they became "Ds."
- HairTeethAndEyeBalls
True. The Iranian Toms don't have any sea-air corrosion issues to deal with either! Another jet that was waaaayyy ahead of it's time(aka engines)!
- Robert
I believe all or most of those upgrades were accomplished by the Russians as the Iranians could not afford SU-27/30 aircraft. So they made a deal with the Russians to upgrade.
With the exception of the engines (2-33,000 lb/thrust instead of 30,000 you recommended) all the avionics and weapons have been brought up to world class standards. The F-14 airframe is an exceptional platform and will give many more years of service, to Iran unfortunately.
The Luftwaffe did the same deal with Russia on all those MIG-29s that were left in E.Germany after the Soviet Union imploded. All new avionics except the new stuff was German/NATO spec as were weapons and avionics replacing the old Russian gear.
The US was really pissed about that one as they had all but signed the deal with Germany/NATO for a new load of F-16s to replace their aging and outdated F105s.
Germany's contribution to the 78 day Kosovo fiasco was that their MIGs were downed on a number of occasions. I wonder how many may have been friendly fire?
- Sia
You don't know what you talking about. There were no Russians involved in keeping these birds flying! It was all Iranian technicians,
- John Smith
Or maybe you just weren't told by your govt.
- HG Bellow
But having to invest 23 hours of maintenance to fly 1 hour, just didn't make sense. The F-14 was good, but it's time was up.
What Boeing should have done was put the F-14D's GE F110 engines into a bigger F/A-18. Whoa!
- FoilHatWearer
This paint scheme does not look new. I swear I've seen lots of past pictures with this paint scheme (unless I've seen a lot of F-5s with it and this is the first F-14).
A tribute to the Iranians resourcefulness that they have kept such an elderly aircraft flying. Cant imagine after sales service is so hot.
- Robert
The Russians have upgraded the Iranian TomCats with the latest of their stuff.
- wmac
If Russians are so kind to Iranian, so why they didn't upgrade their own Mig-29s for Iran?
- Robert
It has got to be better than the US was giving them LOL!
- just add red stars
well, thank you IRIAF for potentially justifying millions spent on all those fancy splinter liveries for the aggressors…
- James Deangelis
Ah yes…. the flying turkey!
- edgeoh
How are they keeping these F-14s in the air? I thought there was an arms embargo. These planes have to be 40 years old and I thought the civilian tech reps sabotaged them before they left the country.
- coss
Those are 1980's avionic F14's
- ask2wice
The website linked below will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the F-14, including what happened to every single aircraft produced (by BuNo [aircraft serial number]). I like this statement from one of the pages the best:
" … back in 1984 the Navy rejected the F/A-18E/F program… But the light fighter lobby was strong enough and today the F/A-18E and F are already flying instead of new F-14Ds rolling off the assembly lines… ". It's the last sentence on this page:
Here's the entire web address:
If you are an F-14 Tomcat fanatic, and haven't seen this website, you should really enjoy it!
- ask2wice
For those of you who may think that the F/A-18E/F is a better aircraft than the updated F-14D was, take a look at this analysis:
Of course, everyone has an opinion, but this one by Rear Admiral Paul Gillcrist – U.S. Navy/Ret. (spent 33 years as a fighter jet pilot and wing commander and was operations commander for all Pacific Fleet fighters) and Bob Kress (an aeronautical engineer for Grumman) may contain too much bias. MAY … but I personally don't think so! :)
- ask2wice
Check out what the new Tomcat would have looked like if they had kept the line open and continued to upgrade the aircraft. Pictures are posted below. Website ref:
Note the new curved glove vanes that would have held more fuel, decreased approach speeds while trapping/landing on the carrier AND given it greater maneuverability as a dogfighter. Also there was a proposal to give it twin 30,000 lb. two-axis thrust vectoring engines! Upgraded avionics, radar … the works! Read the above link and weep if you wish you could have seen a brand new Super Duper Tomcat instead of what the U.S. Navy has now … the far less capable F/A-18E/F [not-so-super] Super Hornet.
- Jack Ogg
The simple fact is, NAVAIR is run by those who's careers are tied to the F-18. As long as F-14s were around, there would be pressure to keep them onboard and do service life extension to the airframes. The solution was the guillotine in the desert. Now the only ones that are left are a hand full in museums, and a bunch of cobbled together ones in Iran. So sad.
- F-14s fowevah
Iran also bought the F-4 and the F-5, yet the U.S. military didn't destroy all flying examples of these aircraft. Why did the F-14 have to be destroyed ? I hate the fact that our grandchildren will never see an F-14 fly at an airshow .
- Capt. Maverick
There were cases of the F-14 static display parts being stolen and people trying to sell them to Iran.
- John Smith
If our current inventory is so good, who cares if Iran got a few spares with a five-finger discount? They aren't stealing a whole radar unit, either.
- Mike_Hunt
The F-14 is still rather potent, especially with Russian upgrades.
- wmac
What Russian upgrade? Do you have a single reference for that claim? You talk like upgrading a radar is like repairing a TV.
- Mike_Hunt
- f35
why are they still making the f 14 when they have the f 18 and the f 35? plus the f 35 is supposed to be bad cos it cant do a very good minimum radius turn…… is this true?
- Chad Fancher
you need to read some more LOL.
- mmmssdd
imperial Iran ,USA and Israel were once best friend and the Shah(Iranian king) was exiled by a revolution and created a Islamic republic(which is better than a monarchy) ad all the NATO weapons were given to the new Iran
- barry dean
technology makes the bigger heavier jets obsolete and if aircraft carrier operations aren't the aplication, then nether does the expense and maintainance complexity of the multirole jack-of-all-trades fighter/bomber pan out best for tax payers.
- Marjus Plaku
Still the best damn fighter engine sound, the turbo charged humm was heavenly.

A public conference on "Man and His Polluted Environment," sponsored by the Natural Food Associates, will be held today and tomorrow at the Sheraton Commander Hotel.
Natural Food Associates, a non-profit, educational organization based in Atlanta, Texas, is founded on the principle that each individual is entitled "to breath fresh air, drink clean water, and eat pure food."
"This nation has lost the freedoms of good air, water, and food," said John M. Whittaker, a veterinarian and one of the five conference leaders. "Most ofour food is over-preserved to the point where it is toxic or useless; we are prostituting our daily bread with over-use of chemicals."
The association, however, is not attempting to bring legal or political pressure on specific companies or individuals, according to Whittaker. They seek to inform the public of environmental dangers with the hope that once informed of the dangers, the public will act to eliminate them.
One of the major topics of the conference will be the harmful effect which modern agricultural methods have on soil and livestock.
"The soil is alive...good soil is anyway," Whittaker said. "But all the chemical fertilizers we're using are diluting it, killing it. Nobody knows for sure the full effect of killing the soil, but we've got pretty good evidence now that soil artificially enhanced with too much chemical fertilizer is producing plants that won't keep animals alive."
"For centuries we've been breeding meat animals toward faster growth and earlier maturity. There are great benefits for a protein-hungry world, but we're creating freaks that have very low natural tolerance to disease and infection, and the fodder crops won't sustain them," Whittaker added.
The conference opens at 9 a.m.

The apparent prevalence and incidence of primary hyperparathyroidism increased about four-fold after routine multichannel biochemical screening began to be widely used [1]. This increase was sustained, and the average patient age at diagnosis also increased. This indicates that screening did not lead to diagnoses of hyperparathyroidism in the same patients at an earlier age (as occurred with screening for cervical cancer) but rather to the discovery of the condition in many persons who otherwise would have remained unburdened by knowledge of their condition [2]. Such persons—it begs several questions to call them patients, a role they did not seek—have, almost by definition, a condition that is mild, does not progress, and lacks traditional manifestations [2–3]. The problem of what to do with these persons, a problem now almost 30 years old, is still unsolved.

Keeping up with daytime drama
THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Determined to make sure that his sister wouldn't be hurt by Liam anymore - as well as having his own motives - Rick forced Othello to go along with his plan. Still stunned by Hope putting a final end to their relationship, Liam was caught off guard by Rick's maneuver to get her out of his house. Rick encouraged Hope to spend more time with Thomas, hoping that the move would put him in a better position to approach Caroline. An awkward situation ensued when Hope and Thomas came face to face with Liam and Steffy, out for a night on the town. As Thomas helped Hope move the rest of her things out of Liam's house, Rick told Caroline he was still very much interested in her. Hope made it clear to Liam that he should stick with Steffy. Pam and Donna's rivalry showed no sign of letting up as they shared the Forrester reception desk. »Read Full Article

A curious biochemical busybody known as a "hedgehog" protein, which may control
the development of the central nervous system and limbs in humans and other
organisms, may get its workload done by splitting itself in two, according to
researchers at Johns Hopkins.
The new insight, reported in the December 2 issue of Science, advances scientists' understanding of the early stages of life, an area of research that could one day lead to treatments for developmental disorders in human embryos.
"Hedgehog proteins are always full of surprises," says Stephen Ekker, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and co-author of the report.
"They are unique, and they're answering a number of fundamental questions about the development of life forms ranging from fruit flies to humans" says Ekker.
The name of the protein, first identified at Hopkins in 1992, comes from an experiment with fruit fly larvae. These larvae normally grow thin rows of bristles on their body to help them move; when scientists remove the gene for the protein, the bristles grow all over the body instead of in rows, making it look like a hedgehog.
"Since then, we've identified hedgehog proteins in all the higher animals we've looked at, from the sea urchin through humans." says Ekker.
Previous research at other institutions and Hopkins has shown that surgically moving cells that produce hedgehog protein can dramatically reorganize the way limbs form in lab animals. Until now, though, scientists have had little direct evidence of how hedgehog protein works.
The protein seems to act like a stage director giving cues to performers in a play. Scientists think it bonds with individual cells and turns on and off genes in the cells that allow them to play their specialized roles in the development of an arm, a leg, or the spinal column.
"One puzzling feature of hedgehog activity, though, is that hedgehog protein seems to affect both the area where it was produced and cells some distance away," says John Lee, an M.D./Ph.D. student at Hopkins and lead author of the Science paper.
The new study, conducted on fruit flies, may explain how hedgehog protein accomplishes these different tasks. After hedgehog protein splits, the two fragments have different biochemical properties and are found in different areas of the developing fruit fly One fragment may direct the development of cells more distant from the site of its production, while another gives cues to cells near the area where it was produced.
Philip Beachy, Ph.D., an assistant professor of molecular biology and genetics, says researchers' next step will be to try to figure out the roles of the two fragments in a variety of lab organisms. "We're hoping that this will also help us learn some new things about the role hedgehog proteins play in human development," Beachy says.
Research into hedgehog proteins was funded by the Howard Hughes Institute for Molecule Genetics.

Sumter, SC (WLTX) -- A Sumter teenager has been charged with assault and battery after an altercation with her bus driver.
The incident happened March 1. Since then, Sumter School District says the bus driver lost her job for violating staff conduct, although no charges have been filed against her.
"This particular route, it seemed like from day one I didn't have a chance with some of these students," said Delores Rainwater, the bus driver.
She recalled to News19 about that day when she was attacked after arriving at school that morning.
"They wanted their old bus driver back who was a young lady, and they let me know that," Rainwater said.
It was tough for her to hold back the emotion as the tears flowed down her face.
The Sumter County Sheriff's office says after Rainwater had finished her route and was dropping her students off at school, she was punched multiple times by a female student. Rainwater says she did not provoke the student.
"No, sir, I did not," she said.
The 17-year-old girl who attacked Delores, according to an incident report, was arrested and charged with assault.
The Sumter School District issued a statement saying that "appropriate action was taken. The driver was terminated ...[for] violating board policy GBEB staff conduct."
News19 did some digging and found the policy they refer to in the statement says "the [school] board expects the staff to strive to set an example for students."
Rainwater says she just wants her job back.
News19 also made an effort to get the videotape of the incident that was captured by the school bus camera. Sumter School District referred us to the the Sumter Sheriff's Department. We are still waiting for a response.

Motivation In The Hospitality Industry
Published by: Incentive Research Foundation
A new study on employee motivation and performance lays the groundwork for creation of the SITE Foundation Motivation Index™.
Click here to view and download a PDF of this page.
Employee turnover within the U.S. fast-food and hotel industries costs those industries in the neighborhood of $140 billion annually. In more bite-sized terms, it will cost roughly 100% to 200% of an employee's base salary to recruit and train a replacement. Although the turnover rate for these industries hovers between 78.3 percent and 95.4 percent on a national basis, some fast-food restaurants and hotels experience much lower rates, and have significantly greater success retaining employees. Overall, higher levels of motivation and motivated performance translate into a 53 percent reduction in worker turn over.
It is generally understood that employment in these industries is often considered to be temporary, or stop-gap employment, with workers leaving eventually for what they will consider "greener pastures." And certainly, different economics are at work depending on the region, the type of establishment, etc. However, turnover rates also vary within the same economies, the same chains, the same cities, and the same regions. All things being equal, then, what accounts for the differences in turnover rates? And more importantly, what can managers do to reduce turnover at their properties?
The Site Foundation is seeking to answer those questions by studying employee motivation and performance in the fast- food and hotel industries. The study - Motivation in the Hospitality Industry - measures key indices of motivated behavior using the widely recognized CANE (Commitment And Necessary Effort) Model of Motivation. The following describes key findings from research to date and offers methods managers can use to reduce turnover in their fast-food or hotel operations.
About the Research
Hotel and fast-food employees from twenty-two job sites located in the Orlando, Florida area were surveyed in October 2003. All told, 545 responses were received. Mid-scale hotels contributed 14.9 percent of the responses; fast-food restaurants contributed 85.1 percent. A follow-up phase conducted in February 2004 surveyed the same job sites.
The survey instrument was modeled after the CANE Model (Richard Clark, 1998). The CANE Model helps us to understand the various aspects of why people are motivated to perform a specific task.
The CANE Model
The following chart illustrates the dynamics at work in the CANE Model. It is followed by an explanation of the ten predictor variables and questions in which the employee might express the effect of the variable on his or her behavior.
Implications for Employers
Simply put, the study demonstrates that certain behaviors have various impacts on turnover in various ways, and these differences suggest strategies employers might use to reduce turnover. These include:
Conclusion: When tasks are being avoided or devalued, a carefully targeted incentive system can solve the problem in both the short- and long-terms.

STAR Flight Crew Recalls 2011 Central Texas Labor Day Wildfires
Updated: Tuesday, September 4 2012, 07:53 PM CDT
Like thousands of other residents in Central Texas, STAR Flight pilot Chuck Spangler got the news about the 2011 Labor Day wildfires through a knock at the door. His own neighborhood was burning, "When I first saw it and got on it I thought oh boy this is going to be really bad. The flames and smoke was huge. It's hard to describe visually what it looked like."
Spangler evacuated and headed straight to work, along with the rest of the crew. It was all hands on deck. "This is a big event you won't forget about," recalls STAR Flight Paramedic Scott White. For an entire week…the crews kept all three of the county's rescue birds in the air as they struggled to tame three different wildfires in Travis County. "My thought was when is this going to end," says STAR Flight Director of Aviation Willy Culberson. White adds, "That particular day every direction you looked there was fire everywhere".
From the air, responders could see the Pedernales fire, the Pflugerville fire, and the most stubborn of the three blazes -- the one in Steiner Ranch; where Spangler and four of his co-workers lived, "It's close to home and all that stuff. And it's the first time I have fought an urban fire. We've always done wild land grassfires and forests, even in the military. So to be fighting house fires was different, way different. By the end of the day all three aircraft were on that fire and we literally picked out four houses that were inside the perimeter of the fire that were not involved."
125 gallons at a time, Spangler says the crews ferried buckets beneath the bellies of the whirlybirds as they approached the inferno below with an almost athletic mindset, "How to sequence the drops, how to sling the buckets to get to the right place on the roof lines…you can be spot on, I mean within a foot of where you want the water".
Complicating matters, they couldn't always see the homes they were trying to save in Steiner Ranch, so they had to just look for the stream coming from firefighting hoses below. Somehow it was working, says Spangler, "Those four houses were getting hit with a bucket of water every 15 seconds".
As they scurried to nearby Lake Travis to refill their bucket, the crew could see that there were so many homes that were beyond saving. "You feel sorry for the loss and for the folks affected by all that," says White.
But Spangler says there was some good news regarding those four houses they had worked so tirelessly to save, "And after was all said and done we got confirmation that those four houses were the only houses left. To be able to save them when they are completely surrounded by other houses that are completely involved and trees and stuff like that…I was pretty satisfied."

Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) has it all. She's the president of her sorority, a Hawaiian Tropic girl, Miss June in her campus calendar, and, above all, a natural blonde. She dates the cutest fraternity boy on campus and wants nothing more than to be Mrs. Warner Huntington III. But, there's just one thing stopping Warner (Matthew Davis) from popping the question: Elle is too blonde. Growing up across the street from Aaron Spelling might mean something in LA, but nothing to Warner's East-Coast blue blood family. So, when Warner packs up for Harvard Law and reunites with an old sweetheart from prep school, Elle rallies all her resources and gets into Harvard, determined to win him back. But law school is a far cry from the comforts of her poolside and the mall. Elle must wage the battle of her life, for her guy, for herself and for all the blondes who suffer endless indignities everyday. Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.

Great Versatile Ski!

Comments about Salomon Remix Skis 2014:
Great ski. Able to float me in powder, cut the crud and even carve on the icy Minnesota slopes. Very responsive, light and fun ski. Billed as a park ski, but it's the same ski as the formal all mountain Rocker 92 so it's able to handle everything.

NComputing U170 USB-connected Virtual Desktop Kit
Turn one PC into two or more, with the NComputing U170 USB-connected Virtual Desktop Kit! NComputing has once again set the standard for simple and affordable desktop computing. NComputing's innovations include tightly integrated solutions that include the award-winning NComputing vSpace virtualization software and industry-leading, low-cost, rugged and reliable access devices. These solutions have made NComputing the global leader, with millions of daily users. To this highly successful product line, NComputing brings an unprecedented feature: plug-and-play simplicity.
Desktop virtualization does not have to be complex. Or expensive. Unlike other desktop virtualization solutions, NComputing does not need expensive and complicated servers and infrastructure. In fact, vSpace was designed to efficiently share the normally wasted CPU cycles in standard low-cost PCs. In an NComputing solution, vSpace creates multiple virtual workspaces in one physical computer, and then the additional users connect their monitors, keyboards, and mice, through a simple access device. With the NComputing U170 USB-connected Virtual Desktop Kit, connecting the access device to the shared computer couldn't be easier: just snap them together with the included USB cable.
Kid-tested, CEO-approved
The NComputing U170 USB-connected Virtual Desktop Kit is based on over ten years of product development and refinement. You could say that it was designed by the sharpest engineers in the world, a million rough-and-tumble kids, hundreds of CIOs, and thousands of IT staff who are on the desktop front lines every day. That's why the NComputing U170 USB-connected Virtual Desktop Kit has the most evolved and useful features on the market. For example, many customers complain that they don't have enough power outlets at the desktop and want to eliminate cable clutter, so we designed the NComputing U170 USB-connected Virtual Desktop Kit to get its power through the USB data cable.
In addition, the model NComputing U170 USB-connected Virtual Desktop Kit is a high-speed USB 2.0 peripheral that automatically assigns any other USB device attached to it to the user. That way, users don't have to assign their keyboards and mice every time they log in. We also use native USB drivers, so there are no limitations in USB compatibility or performance. And because the NComputing U170 USB-connected Virtual Desktop Kit device delivers stunning multimedia all the way up to 1650 x 1080 wide screen (or 1600 x 1200) with 32-bit color, it continues the NComputing tradition of delighting users and IT staff alike.
What It Is and Why You Need It
- A genuine NComputing solution -the undisputed global leader with a decade of experience and millions of daily users.
- Five-minute installation - just install vSpace software, attach a keyboard, mouse, and monitor the U170 device, and you're good to go.
- Stunning display quality - with high resolution and full-screen video.

Death of Kaneohe man ruled homicideUPDATED 11:00 PM HST Jul 18, 2013
A stolen car, a foot chase, and a suspect winds up dead after police take him down. Now the autopsy report shows a Kaneohe man died after being restrained because he could not breathe.Video Transcript
police take him down. Good evening, I'm Kenny Choi. And I'm Yunji de Nies.. Now the autopsy report shows a Kaneohe man died after being restrained because he could not breathe. KITV4's Brenton Awa has our top story. In a recent turn of events -- the death of Stephan Dinnan has been ruled a homicide. This comes less than two months after the medical examiners office said "no assault type injuries" were found on 35-year-olds body. The new information also says Dinnan had a significant injury to his neck. 245 251 "HOMICIDE BY ITS VERY NATURE MEANS THE PERSON DIED AS A RESULT OF ANOTHER PERSON OR PERSONS CONDUCT." We're told Dinnan's family believes that police used excessive force when arresting him last month in Waimanalo. They want someone to be held accountable for their loved one's death. The family's attorney says HPD is NOT capable of policing itself and so they've requested for an outside agency to conduct the investigation. 229 - 239 "AT THIS JUNCTURE, HPD HAS TAKEN THE POSITION THAT NOTHING WRONG OCCURRED. WELL THAT'S IN DIRECT CONTRAST TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINERS CONCLUSION THAT STEPHEn DINNAN DIED FROM HOMICIDE." HPD says Dinnan was arrested after fleeing from police who showed up at a Waimanalo home looking for a stolen truck. Myles Breiner says the FBI is currently investigating what happened.
