What causes pneumonia?
Pneumonia is usually caused by a bacterial infection (bacterial pneumonia) or a viral infection (viral pneumonia). Pneumonia caused by an infection (infectious pneumonia) usually spreads from person to person when someone with the disease coughs, talks or sneezes. This shoots contaminated droplets into the air where they can be breathed in by others.
Pneumonia can also be caused by:
Choking or aspiration of food or liquid into the lungs
Fungal infection
Inflammation of the lungs due to exposure to toxic gases or lung irritants
Near drowning
Yeast infection
What are the risk factors for catching pneumonia?
Pneumonia can occur in any age group or population. A number of factors increase the risk of catching or developing pneumonia. Risk factors include:
Acute bronchitis
Being an infant, young child, or older adult
Being immobile or bedridden for a long period of time
Being too ill or weak to effectively cough up mucus from the respiratory tract
Chronic diseases, such as congestive heart failure, COPD, asthma, and lung cancer
Diseases that result in an impaired or weakened immune system, such as HIV/AIDS
Drugs that suppress the immune system, such as corticosteroids and chemotherapy
Inhaling toxic gases or other lung irritants, such as heavy smoke
Living in a long-term care facility
Near drowning
Not being vaccinated against pneumonia
Problems with chewing or swallowing and choking on foods or liquids
Trauma, such as rib fractures or injuries that cause prolonged immobility
Reducing your risk of pneumonia
Not all people with risk factors will get pneumonia, but you can lower your risk of catching or spreading pneumonia by:
Avoiding contact with a person who has pneumonia, a cold, or the flu
Avoiding exposure to air pollutants, toxic gases, and lung irritants, such as heavy smoke
Avoiding long periods of immobility
Covering your mouth and nose with your elbow (not your hand) or a tissue when sneezing or coughing
Following your health care provider's advice for exercise and deep breathing exercises, and following your treatment plan for chronic illnesses and injuries
Getting vaccinated for pneumonia as recommended by your health care provider
Not smoking
Washing hands frequently with soap and water for at least 15 seconds

What are the symptoms of pneumonia?
The symptoms of pneumonia are caused by inflammation of the lungs due to infection or irritation. In response, the lungs produce excessive amounts of thick phlegm, which must be coughed up in order to keep the airways open for effective breathing.

How is pneumonia treated?
The goals of pneumonia treatment include minimizing the risk of serious complications and controlling symptoms to allow you to rest and recover. Mild to moderate cases of pneumonia that occur in generally healthy adults may be treated at home. More severe cases of pneumonia or cases in infants, older adults, or people with chronic diseases often require hospitalization.

On Saturday, Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari addressed Parliament in a wide-ranging speech about the future of Pakistan's domestic politics and international relations. He said Pakistan would use a strong hand against terrorists planning foreign attacks from bases on Pakistani soil, but added that he would "not tolerate the violation of our sovereignty and territorial integrity by any power in the name of combating terrorism." According to the New York Times, this last stipulation was "broadly greeted by legislators, who loudly thumped on their desks to show their support."
Speaking of loud thumps: hours later, 60 people were killed and 250 were wounded when a dump truck loaded with explosives crashed the gate of the Islamabad Marriott. If Islamabad wants to go on thinking their biggest national security problem is the occasional American incursion into the country's tribal regions, they're free to do so, but there's no compelling reason for the U.S. to stop killing America's enemies (and Pakistan's internal saboteurs) because we're stuck, yet again, with a feckless "partner" in the War on Terror. And if you think attacks such as this one are going to make Islamabad change its tune, consider that Zardari went on the radio afterward to give the obligatory condemnation of "cowardly" acts, and in so doing reiterated his firm stance against American operations in the tribal regions. In fact, according to the Telegraph's Isambard Wilkinson,
public reaction to the bomb attack on the hotel was significant in that it did not roundly condemn the militants but reflected widespread ennui with America's military policy in neighbouring Afghanistan.
The story goes that after 9/11, State Department official Richard Armitage told Pervez Musharaf that if Pakistan refused to cooperate with the U.S., it should "be prepared to go back to the stone age." It was taken as a threat, but in truth, it works just as well as a non-interested prediction. If Islamabad wants to demonize the U.S. while al Qaeda makes in-roads into Pakistan, there will be more Marriotts to come. That's their choice.
But America does not have a choice. We can't lose in Afghanistan. It was the precipitous military withdrawals of the eighties and nineties that convinced terrorists groups of the U.S.'s vulnerability in the first place. The Iraq War has gone a long way in reversing that perception. The Afghanistan War has the potential to either confirm this change or undo it. Simply put, that's more important to the U.S. than the lukewarm allegiance of Pakistan.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — Jones Valley could be headed toward greener pastures. However, some people who live in the area aren't too keen on the idea of a 126 acre shopping center potentially opening on the current farmland.
The Huntsville City Planning Commission has already voted unanimously to rezone the 126 acres on the corner of Carl T. Jones and Ledge Drive. Thursday night, it got through the City Council.
The property is currently zoned for multi-family and small neighborhood retail use, but the City Council approved the property to be zoned as highway business C-4, allowing for a 400,000 square foot shopping center.
Developer Raymond Jones, Jr. compares the proposed center to the existing big-box shopping center across the street. The proposed plaza would house much smaller retail shops, with spaces ranging from 6,000 to 140,000 square feet.
"There was a lot of talk initially like, we don't want to lose the cows, we don't want to lose the cows and that sort of stuff in the neighborhood," said Jones Valley resident James Linderholm. "It's not our cows, it's not our land, I don't think that's a valid issue."
Linderholm voiced his concerns during Thursday's public hearing. He's worried the rezoning would take away a potential development that could be utilized elsewhere. "I don't really know why we're considering doing that in this area, we have blighted highway commercial up and down the Parkway and up on University," said Linderholm.
According to the Planning Commission, the business are market-driven. Market studies tell them where they should want to develop and oftentimes, if they can't have the exact location, then they won't locate at all. "My concern is this seems to be going the wrong way because you are taking the pressure off," Linderholm said to the Huntsville City Council. "They could be persuaded to those other place I think, and there's a very good argument for that, and I don't think there is a good argument for this."
Council President Mark Russell and Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle disagreed. They said the retailers don't want to go anywhere other than Jones Valley. "They just won't go to the Parkway, they just won't go where we want them to go."
"I believe that and that's what you're saying, Mayor?" Russell asked Battle. The Mayor shook his head yes. "No matter how hard we push some of them, they aren't going to go to those areas," said Russell.

This picture just showed up in an e-mail from Jack Thompson.
There was no explanation, other than the subject line:
First feeder bands from Hurricane Ike hit Miami!
Color me confused. Is the man growing a sense of humor? Learning PhotoShop?
Maybe it's symbolism: the pole represents his law license. The hurricane is the Florida Bar and he's trying to hang on...
UPDATE: So it appears that Thompson may be preparing for a second career (you never know when you might need one of those)... as a weatherman.
In a followup e-mail Thompson claims that US news organizations are underreporting the upcoming Hurricane Ike because it's not as sexy as the recent Gustav, which threatened both New Orleans and the Republican National Convention. Even his BFFs at Fox are guilty, says Thompson (now is that any way to get air time?).

Posted at: 03/12/2013 5:29 PM
By: Joseph Lynch, KOB Eyewitness News 4
The City of Albuquerque's Special Election results are in. Candidates for Mayor and City Council will now need 50% of the vote to win. Before, candidates only needed 40%. KOB Eyewitness News 4 wondered what this will mean for future elections in Albuquerque. Political Blogger Joe Monahan thinks there was an edge to be gained.
"It will give the edge to the Democrats because if a Republican gets 40% of the vote they would be forced into a run-off to get 50%. That's harder to do in a Democratic city."
KOB did some digging and found out that no candidate for mayor has ever gotten the 50% now required- not without a run-off election. In 2009 Mayor Richard Berry got 43% of the vote. Blogger Monahan sees the 50% requirement making run-offs for Mayoral Elections much more likely with the new rule in effect.
"I do think that we'll have more run-offs in the future, because most of the city council and mayoral races do attract three, four, five candidates over the years. And it's hard for one candidate in a three-way race to get 50%. So we're headed for more run-offs. That will cost a little bit more."
There are currently three candidates for the next mayoral election. Those candidates are Mayor Richard Berry, Former City Official Pete Dinelli and former APD Sergeant Paul Heh.

15 Years for Drug Trafficker
June 22nd 2012 · 7 Comments
MCALLEN – A convicted drug trafficker was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison for transporting marijuana. Eusebio Mendoza caught Border Patrol's attention after nearly colliding head on with an agent on routine patrol.
The 28-year-old admitted he was hired on April 23, 2011, to drive a truck loaded with marijuana from Weslaco to a different area.
The Brownsville resident pleaded guilty last year to possessing and intending to distribute more than 220 pounds of marijuana.
After completing his prison sentence, Mendoza must serve five years supervised release.

Don't they shoot them in Mexico, Iran, Persia, China etc.???
How many taxpayer dollars wasted enforcing repressive and unnecessary marijuana laws this time, boys? Don't you know MARIJUANA IS SAFER THAN BEER???
@Warren, very true, marijuana is safer than beer. If we would sell it to adults the same way we sell beer, you wouldn't see so many thugs attracted to taking a risk on the Black Market for a chance at easy money.
He should get life
Sad, but here in Texas, he may do 3 years, then Parole for 12. And we still get to put up with him.
@Warren – not really – just a saying people like to say who like their weed!!
Warren only a blind person believes there is no danger in marijuana!apparently you do no believe the AMA and other health professionals.and if people would stop the demand for this dangerous and other dangerous drugs the cartels would dry up!Selfish!

This is why Tor can be a risk, but then again if you're using Tor, you are probably already engaging in some sort of risky business.
Yes, that includes offering to shuttle other people's online activities around under the false guise of anonymity.

Remember that the seizure of the exit router is only the beginning, and LEF will then begin to peel the onion to find the source and that means the hammer drops on more intermediaries.
The risk of using TOR (whether your own purpose is legal or otherwise) is to trust your traffic to 3rd party unknowns. The risk of routing TOR is a bit more obvious, as this exit router owner is now finding out, that can mean trafficking someone else's contraband.
From the TOR abuse FAQ itself:
But remember that this doesn't mean that Tor is invulnerable. Traditional police techniques can still be very effective against Tor, such as investigating means, motive, and opportunity, interviewing suspects, writing style analysis, technical analysis of the content itself, sting operations, keyboard taps, and other physical investigations. The Tor Project is also happy to work with everyone including law enforcement groups to train them how to use the Tor software to safely conduct investigations or anonymized activities online

First, you opined that there is no legitimate (i.e. non-risky business) use of TOR:

The guy in the article didn't get in trouble for using TOR - he got in trouble for hosting a TOR exit node. That does not translate into risk for the casual TOR user.

Publication: Inventory Studio nail design for fruity new Bompas & Parr book
We looked a couple of weeks ago at Emma Rios' sexy fruit shoot for the new Bompas & Parr book Tutti Frutti and as an appetiser it was something special. Now though the book itself has launched and it will come as no surprise that Inventory Studio have done a magnificent job on its design.
The book's aim is to explore "the gustatory implications of fruit salad" and promises to "take in architectural pineapples, the spaces of banana control, how blue became the international colour for raspberries and a luxurious host of fruity recipes." The chaps have signed up a host of great talents from both the creative and culinary spheres to bring the book to life including Martin Parr, Sam Jacob of FAT, Justin Piers Gellatly and Elena Arzak.
Inventory have worked hard to create something recognisably Bompas & Parr – matching their trademark great-looking design with some fun touches such as fruit flesh end papers and peelable fruit sticker titles. Mouthwatering stuff, on so many levels…

USF's fast growing Architecture and Community Design Program trains students to use architecture as a tool for social activism, improving communities through sustainably, affordably, and equitably built environments.
Dozens of illegal settlements have sprouted on the outskirts of Leon, Mexico, with dirt roads, no running water, and little city support. In one of these neighborhoods, known as Lomas de Guadalupe, residents are building houses on eroding land, the dirt roads wash away during the rainy season, and a three-room health clinic struggles to serve 3,000 residents. With no clean, running water or proper garbage disposal, people use the river to both bathe and wash clothes, and the area is strewn with trash.
This summer, architecture students from the University of San Francisco spent three weeks studying and working in this neighborhood. Their goal was to devise a plan for a functional community, complete with permanent housing, businesses, a community center, as well as an expanded school and health clinic.
"Besides the fact that there is little infrastructure or public amenities in Lomas de Guadalupe, it is one of the nicest locations to build a house in all of Leon," said junior architecture major Max Gladisch. "It lies next to wilderness and rivers and has the best views. Planned communities that we saw in Leon were cold and impersonal compared to Lomas de Guadalupe, which has grown organically. Something wonderful happens to a community when the people living there have chosen their plot of land and developed it. Through this project, I hope to understand what the residents want in a community and provide that for them rather then have them adjust their lifestyle to our way of building."
The USF group, led by Assistant Professor Seth Wachtel, was in Leon as part of a joint project with architecture students at the Jesuit Universidad Iberoamericana Leon. At the end of the three weeks, the students presented 10-year urban development plans to a panel of faculty, community members, and city officials. The students are continuing their work on the project with a Web-based exchange of plans and designs with their Ibero Leon peers.
"The trip gave students a grounding in issues like the sociology of housing, jobs, and schools that will inform the integrated package of assistance we are putting together," Wachtel said. The plans and designs cover everything from housing prototypes and a town square, to streetscapes, a water system, and garbage disposal. "The goal of the students is not to present what they think the best solution is. They interview the clients, study the culture, evaluate the problems, and then design solutions based on these observations."
For USF architecture students, class projects are more than style over substance. Students are learning how the discipline can be used as a practical tool for sustainable and equitable community development. The 4-year-old major, which graduated its first class in May, is among the fastest growing on campus, and has carved out a niche as a program that puts architecture to work for social change.
"Architecture students will have a major influence on society and have an opportunity to make change in the world if they put their talents to work and if they can be inspired early on to make a better world through better urban design, regional planning, and appropriate affordable housing," Wachtel said.
The Architecture and Community Design Program began in 2003 with two adjunct professors and 20 students. Today there are three full-time professors, 12 adjuncts, and 85 students.
"We could have many more students, but we capped enrollment because we simply do not have the studio capacity," Wachtel said from his office in X-Arts, a warehouse-like space of art studios and faculty offices on the ground floor of Fromm Hall that is home to the university's booming visual arts department.
As he spoke during the first week of the fall semester, Wachtel fielded phone calls from colleagues trying to finalize class sizes and studio time and counseled students who popped in and out of his office, many hoping to add architecture as a major. "Students search out USF because word is spreading about the unique approach to architecture that the program takes. This is a pre-professional program with all of the basic requirements, but it is grounded in social justice."
The hallmark of the program has come to be the hands-on community design outreach courses in which students are assigned real projects with real clients. In addition to the design work underway for Lomas de Guadalupe, students are partnering with the nonprofit Casas Loyola, led by alumni from the Universidad Iberoamericana Leon, to help indigenous families who move to Leon looking for a better life. The USF students are designing houses for these families, incorporating cultural ways of living.

Japanese broadcaster NHK have aired their latest episode of "The Professional" today, which had teased an appearance from The Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekaz Ishihara but also a new game in development.
This 3D Pokémon entry will be a detective game, in which the player partners up with Pikachu to tackle crime. A rare Pikachu is the game's villain, although Ishihara admitted that he couldn't see people liking that decision, whilst motion capture and facial recognition has been used to more accurately portray Pikachu talking.
A special Blue Pikachu will also make an appearance, but under what circumstances is unclear. Currently in development, if the project continues it is expected to release in 2015.
Also discussed was a sequel to Pokémon Trozei, the discussion sharing issues that they had to overcome in potentially bringing the game to Nintendo 3DS and that, if they were to do so, it would most likely be a download title.

During an hour-long interview with Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun early Friday morning, former Ravens linebacker and special-teams ace Brendon Ayanbadejo emphasized that he doesn't believe he was cut from the Super Bowl champions' roster because of his strong advocacy for same-sex marriage and gay rights.
Ayanbadejo indicated that he understands and accepts the decision, praising the Ravens for their support of him being an outspoken voice for gay causes. He distanced himself from his interview Thursday night with Newsday at a Straight for Equality Gala in New York where he was honored along with Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe, where he seemed to suggest that his beliefs were one of the reasons that he was released earlier that day
Ayanbadejo, who was given recognition along with Kluwe from former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue at the event Thursday night, predicted that more than one player may come out as gay during their playing career. Ayanbadejo said the groundwork is being laid to reduce the pressure on such a player, and said as many as four players could conceivably come out simultaneously.
"I think it will happen sooner than you think," Ayanbadejo said. "We're in talks with a handful of players who are considering it. There are up to four players being talked to right now and they're trying to be organized so they can come out on the same day together. It would make a major splash and take the pressure off one guy. It would be a monumental day if a handful or a few guys come out.
"Of course, there would be backlash. If they could share the backlash, it would be more positive. It's cool. It's exciting. We're in talks with a few guys who are considering it. The NFL and organizations are already being proactive and open if a player does it and if something negative happens. We'll see what happens."
Ayanbadejo said he met with NFL vice president of player engagement Troy Vincent on Thursday and may be asked to speak to incoming players at the annual NFL rookie symposium about being sensitive toward the LGBT community. Nothing has been scheduled yet, though.
At the Super Bowl, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver drew heavy criticism after he said that a gay player wouldn't be accepted in the locker room. Culliver apologized and underwent sensitivity training.
"I had a great talk with Troy Vincent," said Ayanbadejo, adding that he's been asked to speak to several corporations and institutions, including his alma mater, UCLA, as a keynote speaker at the athlete graduation ceremony as well as Harvard University, Johnson and Johnson, McDonalds and Cover Girl. "The NFL wants to be proactive about what's going on with players and some of the remarks and incidents that have been happening with the LGBT community. The NFL wants me to talk to the rookie class and they are talking about potentially having talks with all the guys about LGBT sensitivity. I think all the major sports groups need to be productive and take a stance.
"Everyone has a relative or friend that's in the LGBT community, whether it's Paul Tagliabue's son or people in the Ravens organization who have relatives in the LGBT community. I gave Troy my suggestions. There are a lot of opportunities opening up, but I had nothing scheduled because I had been anticipating playing. I knew there was a possibility that I could be released. I have no regrets. I wouldn't change a single thing. It's been a good ride. If the Ravens call me in training camp, so be it. If not, I'll still be busy with a lot of great things."

Chinese Press Reporting Proview Will Request That PRC Customs Ban Import And Export Of iPads
- Posted by bbishop
- on February 13th, 2012
502 Bad Gateway
In what appears to be an escalation of Proview's battle with Apple ($AAPL) over the iPad trademark, Sina Tech News is reporting that Proview is preparing to request that the General Administration of China Customs ban the import and export of iPads.
Earlier today we learned that authorities in at least one city in Hebei Province had already started confiscating iPads from stores-Authorities Removing Apple iPads From Chinese Store Shelves? | DigiCha. The Sina Tech News article reports that Administration of Industry and Commerce in nearly 20 municipalities are investigating the sale of iPads, with several telling merchants to stop selling them openly.
Apple, how much are you going to pay Proview to make this go away?
[UPDATE: Stan Abrams at ChinaHearsay examines the possible Proview request to China Customs:
an action with the General Administration of Customs could be the nuclear option for Proview, and the Sina article suggests this might be in the works. This is a relatively simple procedure whereby an IP owner, in this case trademark owner Proview, files their trademark certificate with GAC, which is then "on notice" regarding Proview's ownership rights.
Even before such a filing, GAC has the authority to stop any import/export of goods suspected of infringing intellectual property. Yes, that includes shipments of China-made iPads exported to overseas markets. Customs could go after those at any time if it so desired…
So the news here is that Proview may file their IP with Customs. This would be step one, and a big shot across Apple's bow. Would they then go after iPad exports? That remains to be seen, but as with the infringement suits and AIC actions, Proview also has the law on its side when it comes to a Customs action.

Sophomore Shatyra Hawkes had 11 points, a career-high tying six assists and five rebounds
Feb. 11, 2012
BRONX, N.Y. - The Xavier women's basketball team needed five extra minutes Saturday night but was able to pull out the 68-57 overtime win at Fordham. Junior Amber Gray led the Musketeers in scoring with a career-high 17 points while freshman Lakeisha Crouch recorded her first career double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds.
Xavier improves to 6-17 on the year and 3-7 in Atlantic 10 action, its third league win in five games, while Fordham falls to 11-14 overall and 2-8 in conference play.
Also for the Musketeers, senior Tyeasha Moss chipped in 12 points, five rebounds and a career-high tying three blocks and sophomore Shatyra Hawkes added 11 points, a career-high tying six assists and five rebounds.
Xavier out-rebounded Fordham, 41-32, and shot 42.6 percent from the floor to FU's 29.3 percent.
Hawkes scored the first two points of the half but the Rams took over, using a 13-2 over the next 5:30 to break open a 34-27 advantage. The Musketeers trailed for a majority of the second half until rattling off 11-straight points, including four from Moss, to go up on the Rams, 45-43. Moss missed the front end of two free throws, her first miss in 15 attempts, and FU's Arielle Collins sank a layup to even the score at 46-all with six seconds left. Xavier couldn't convert and into overtime the teams went.
Leading 54-52 in the extra frame, sophomore Ashley Wanninger drained a clutch 3-pointer effectively putting the game out of reach. The Musketeers made 13 of their 14 free throw attempts down the stretch to claim the 11-point, 68-67 victory.
The first half was close throughout as Xavier's largest lead was four and Fordham's was three. There were seven lead changes and two times in the first frame. The Musketeers committed nine turnovers and the Rams converted six points off those miscues but XU led the battle of the boards, 19-15. Pachko, along with FU's Charlotte Stoddart, tallied a game-best six points during the first 20 minutes.
The Rams were led by Abigail Corning with 15 points and seven rebounds while Stoddart added seven rebounds as well.
Up next for the Musketeers is a return home for the Play4Kay game Wednesday, February 15 against Richmond. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at Cintas Center and the first 1,000 fans will receive an Amy Waugh bobblehead. Wear pink!

Shaun Barker: Chris Martin is going great guns for Derby County
Posted: February 01, 2014|
CHRIS Martin has had a brilliant season for us.
I don't think many expected him to get the number of goals he has scored this season.
As a lone striker for much of the time, he is expected to hold the ball up, make it tough for the centre-halves and link players in like Craig Bryson, Will Hughes and Jamie Ward, players who want to get in around the edge of the box.
His link-up play is so important to the team.
Related content
That is Chris's main job but his goals ratio this season is fantastic. His winner against Yeovil on Tuesday was his 16th of the campaign.
Strikers are always going to have a little spell without a goal. I think Chris went five games and because he has scored so many goals people expect him to score every week.
That is a pressure he is has to deal with and it was nice to see him notch late on against Yeovil.

Run Your Own Personal Cloud With Tonido
Tonido allows you to run your own personal cloud, giving you access to all of your desktop files from anywhere through a web browser or your smartphone. You can access and share all of your files, including documents, photos, music and videos. There is no uploading, no storage limits, and the service is free.
Tonido has come a long way since we first covered it back in April of '09. They have made significant progress in their development efforts by streamlining the user interface, adding features like video streaming and adding documents via email, and making some other significant changes.
In this article, I'll show you what's new with Tonido. Your files will be floating around in your very own personal cloud in no time.
Personal Cloud Computing With Tonido
Before we get too in-depth with Tonido's new features, lets take a refreshing look at everything you can do with Tonido. They've developed some very creative and interesting ways you can utilize their service, and ' depending on what types of files you'll be sharing ' there is something unique for everyone.
If you're into music (who isn't?), you'll love the JukeBox feature.JukeBox is an application for Tonido that gives you quick/easy access to your personal music collection.
You can stream music (MP3, WMA, FLAC, AAC, OGG, M4A) to anywhere as well as search and tag songs, share with guest users, organize your collection, and create custom playlists.
Photos is a Tonido app that allows the sending of photos directly (and privately) via Tonido's P2P network to friends and family. There is no size limit, and you can set it up so that photos are automatically sent when new ones are added to your folder. Comments and ratings are also supported.
You can utilize the Thots application as your personal blog.Thots acts as a private blog or journal, which you can use to store notes, bookmarks, web clips, and other random pieces of information. It's very similar to Wordpress, which makes it an attractive feature.
Anything Else?
Tonido has lots more functionality with the other apps it provides. Other apps include Torrent, Workspace, Money Manager, Webshare, OpenID, Screenshare, Search, and Explorer. These make for some interesting ideas, so be sure to check them out.
If you would like to learn more about Tonido-supported applications, you can find more information here.
Now that you're interested, let's check out what else Tonido is capable of.
Mobile Applications
Tonido now has mobile applications for you. You can find apps for Blackberry, iPhone and Android devices, which are available in their respective app stores.
Using the mobile apps, users can now browse their PCs (as well as Mac and Linux computers), stream music, open popular file formats (Word, PowerPoint, Excel), create a share and much more.
Video Streaming
With Tonido, you can now stream your videos from home. Using Tonido Explorer, you can open a web-based file browser application to manage and download your files. This allows you to view video files straight through your browser, just in case you want to watch something without having to copy the file over.
Upload Documents Via Email
Tonido is pretty adamant about the fact that you do not need to upload anything on your own to use their service, but if you need to save an important document you can do so via email. Just add your document as an attachment and email it to your account and it will appear in your folder. Once it's there, you can access it the same way you would any other files.
As you can see, Tonido is potentially a very useful application. Being able to access your files across multiple computers is a great idea in and of itself, because it eliminates the need for copying files between machines.
If you have more than one computer, it's difficult to keep your files in sync. Some file types are easier to manage than others, but for the most part it's a losing battle. When you try to keep everything up-to-date between your different machines, things tend to get pretty messy in a hurry.
Tonido has many uses, but what will you be using it for? Leave your thoughts, ideas, and comments below!

A Legend Returns
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – When Chuck Howley played football at West Virginia University, Morgantown ended at the Wally Reed Exxon station on Monongahela Boulevard, WVU was referred to everywhere throughout the state as simply the University (with a capital U), the campus had about 5,000 students and athletes were lucky if they got the necessary tutors and support they needed to get their degrees.
Of course much has changed since Howley last played for the Mountaineers in 1957. He noted as much during a rare campus visit last week.
"I can't get over the support the school has given the athletes," Howley said last Wednesday in his noticeable Texas drawl. "I think between my junior and senior year we were starting to get tutors at that time, but that was the extent of it.
"There are so many advantages to come here now."
Howley, who turns 75 this Tuesday, is a success story on many different levels. The Wheeling native was a five-sport letterman at WVU (football, swimming, gymnastics, wrestling and track) who was named the Southern Conference Athlete of the Year in 1956. He was the 1-meter diving champion in swimming and was a 10.1 sprinter in track; he was a heavyweight on the wrestling team and was also extremely adept on the trampoline in gymnastics.
In fact, he was such a gifted athlete that WVU coach Art "Pappy" Lewis had a difficult time trying to figure out how best to utilize Howley's ahead-of-his-time talents on the gridiron. During an era when brute strength still ruled over speed and quickness, Lewis thought Howley would be most effective playing along the line of scrimmage at guard and center, where he often fought off triple-teams to make tackles in the backfield.
Once during a game against William & Mary, Howley faked like he was going to rush the passer before using his terrific instincts and quickness to drop back into coverage and bat down a pass (later in the pros with the Cowboys Howley was one of the few players coach Tom Landry permitted to freelance on defense).
"I never saw anyone who recovered so quickly," Pitt scout Darrell Lewis once marveled of Howley's football skills.
Despite an injury-plagued career at West Virginia, outstanding performances in the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl caught the attention of the Chicago Bears, which selected him seventh overall in the 1958 draft. At the time, Howley wasn't too familiar with professional football, once recalling a conversation he had with WVU assistant coach Bob Snyder, a longtime NFL player who joined Lewis' Mountaineer staff in 1956.
"I asked him, 'What's a Chicago Bear?'" Howley laughed. "I didn't know that much about them. He said, 'Chuck come on, let's fly up there. I'll go with you and we'll talk to them.' That's when I got my first $500 bonus. (Bears coach George) Halas didn't like to splurge a lot, but I couldn't have been happier with the way everything turned out."
That even included a serious knee injury Howley suffered during training camp before his second season with the Bears in 1959 when a wide receiver caught him from behind with a crack-back block. The injury was so severe that it forced Howley out of football for the 1960 season.
Chuck returned to Wheeling to recuperate, working at a filling station to make some extra money while figuring out what he was going to do next with his life. Then in the spring of 1961, he was invited to play in West Virginia's annual alumni football game with the varsity. His knee felt fine and he decided to make a return to pro football when the newly created Dallas Cowboys traded two draft picks for the rights to his contract.
"I was fortunate because I tore up my knee in '50 and I retired in '60, and the Cowboys had their expansion draft and they traded for my contract and I started playing again," Howley said.
Despite the severity of his injury, Howley never taped his knee throughout his professional career.
"I tried taping it when I first went back and I said I couldn't do this," he recalled. "It just reminds me (of the injury) all the time so I wouldn't tape it. I went to the doctor and I said, 'I don't need this tape and I don't want it so I wasn't conscious of it.' I felt by taping it it made me conscious of it and made me feel like I had something wrong with my knee."
By 1963, Howley had made the All-Eastern Conference team and in 1965 participated in the first of his six Pro Bowls. In the late 1960s, the seven-time all-pro became one of the top outside linebackers in the game when pro football began placing more of an emphasis on speed and quickness – Howley's two-best football attributes.
He teamed with Lee Roy Jordan, Bob Lilly, Dave Edwards, Jethro Pugh, Willie Townes, Herb Adderly, Mel Renfro and Cornell Green on Dallas' original "Doomsday Defense," considered among the best in pro football history. Howley was the weakside linebacker in the Cowboys' 4-3 scheme where his gambling style of play produced 25 career interceptions and 18 fumble recoveries. Against the Atlanta Falcons in 1967, Howley returned a fumble 97 yards for a touchdown.
Howley played in the famed "Ice Bowl" at Lambeau Field in Green Bay for the 1967 NFL championship that was later immortalized by NFL Films. The conditions that afternoon were unbearable with the temperature at minus 13 degrees at game time and the wind chill reaching 40 below. Green Bay came back to defeat the Cowboys, 21-17, in the waning seconds on a quarterback sneak by Bart Starr.
Howley recalled the frigid conditions the players had to endure.
"My only problem was the second half there was a mist in the air and the heater on the field ceased to work about halftime, and it began to ice up and it was very difficult to get your footing," he recalled. "You were slipping and sliding and when you were trying to cover somebody out of the backfield you had to make a choice. If you made a choice and it was the wrong one you couldn't stop and go back the other way."
Howley is best known for being named most valuable player in Super Bowl V when he made two interceptions and a fumble recovery against the Baltimore Colts. But Dallas lost the game, 16-13, on a last-second field goal, making Howley the only player in Super Bowl history to earn MVP honors from a losing team.
Not a single reporter came to his locker to talk to him after the game, and to this day he can't remember who first notified him that he had won the award.
"It was the losing locker room," he said. "It's very difficult. It didn't mean anything to me sitting there when somebody came in and told me I was MVP. I said, 'I think that's fantastic but we didn't win the game.' That's what it was all about."
Howley didn't even get to enjoy the Dodge Charger that was presented to him afterward for being named MVP. He decided to give it to his wife and she promptly returned it to him.
"She went out to a bridge party one night and she hit that accelerator and the tires squealed and she brought that car right home and she said, 'You can take it. I don't want it,'" Howley laughed. "She had a ball with that."
Howley played during an era when guys struggled to get good contracts. Fraternization was discouraged by management because they didn't want players from other teams discussing how little they were getting paid. All of Howley's contracts with the Cowboys were negotiated without representation.
"Maybe that's why I lost out so much," Howley joked. "I always felt I was somewhere in the ballpark with the rest of them, though."
Howley recalled the first contract he negotiated with Cowboys general manager Tex Schramm in 1961.
"He gave me $7,000 and he gave me a $500 bonus because I told him I was going to get married before training camp," Howley said. "He said, 'I'll tell you what. You call me the week before and here is a check for $500 and if it's still on, I'll send you the check.' And he did."
In the late 1960s, toward the end of his playing career, Howley became friends with a neighbor who had an idea for a dry cleaning business. That evolved into a uniform rental company that grew into an extremely successful venture. Howley sold his shares in 1992, but maintained the direct sales end of the business. Though semi-retired, Howley says he still remains involved with the company.
"I think I'm retired," he said. "I've got a son-in-law who has kind of taken over the business. It's the best thing. I'm feeling fantastic now."
Howley says he enjoys watching football on television, but he admits he's not a big fan of the self-promoting and the demonstrating that the players do today.
"I don't like the hoorah stuff, the beating on your chest and doing all of that stuff," he said, noting those things were frowned upon when he played.
"We had guys on defense that when someone would do stuff like that they would grab them and say, 'Hey, we can't do stuff like that.' That's just what you do. We played as a team," he said.
And although not a big professional basketball fan, Howley said he thoroughly enjoyed watching the Dallas Mavericks take over the city when the organization won its first NBA title earlier this month. He said he went through something similar when the Cowboys became one of pro football's glamour franchises in the late 1960s.
"To me, what happened here recently with the Mavericks and what that team showed was what we had back in the '60s with the Cowboys," he said. "There was a link with the city and the players, and it's good to see that with the Mavericks today."
Today, Howley says he spends most of his weekends tending to his ranch in suburban Dallas where he breeds quarter horses. And yes, he still gets calls from time to time from reporters asking him about the Super Bowl his team lost. He gently reminds them that the Cowboys beat the Miami Dolphins the next year (he says he actually played a better game in that one) but they always seem to want to steer the conversation back to the previous one against the Colts.
"That's the thing they remember me for," he sighed.
Perhaps one day voters will recognize what Howley did throughout his 15-year career with the Bears and Cowboys and elect him into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which has become heavily tilted toward offensive players. Howley was the fourth player to be honored in the Cowboys' Ring of Fame.
If it happens he will be ecstatic, but if it doesn't, he knows he gave maximum effort every time he stepped out onto the football field.
"I know in my own mind that I did what I needed to do and that was my best," Howley once said. "If my best wasn't good enough then maybe I should have tried harder, but I feel that I gave 110 percent all of the time when I was playing back in college as well as when I went to the pros."

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
COPD is a term that refers to a group of lung diseases that can interfere with normal breathing. According to the American Lung Association, more than 13 million Americans suffer from COPD. It is the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
The two most common conditions of COPD are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Some doctors agree that asthma should be classified as a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, while others do not. A brief description of asthma is included below:
What is chronic bronchitis?
Chronic bronchitis means long-term inflammation of the bronchi (the breathing passages in the lungs), which results in increased production of mucus, as well as other changes.
These changes may result in breathing problems, frequent infections, cough, and disability.
What is pulmonary emphysema?
Emphysema is a chronic lung condition in which alveoli (the air sacs in the lungs) may become:
This can cause a decrease in respiratory function and breathlessness. Damage to the air sacs is irreversible and results in permanent "holes" in the lung tissue.
What is asthma?
Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory lung disease involving recurrent breathing problems. The characteristics of asthma include the following:
The lining of the airways becomes swollen and inflamed.
The muscles that surround the airways tighten.
The production of mucus is increased, leading to mucus plugs.
The causes of COPD are not fully understood. It is generally agreed that the most important cause of chronic bronchitis and emphysema is cigarette smoking. Other causes such as air pollution and occupational exposures may play a role, especially when combined with cigarette smoking. Heredity may also be a factor.
The goals of COPD rehabilitation programs include helping the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of the person's physical, emotional, and social life. Attaining these goals help people with COPD live more comfortably by improving endurance, providing relief of symptoms, and preventing progression of the disease with minimal side effects.
In order to reach these goals, COPD rehabilitation programs may include the following:
Medication management
Exercises to decrease respiratory symptoms and improve muscle strength and endurance
Respiratory treatments to improve breathing ability
Assistance with obtaining respiratory equipment and portable oxygen
Methods to increase independence with activities of daily living (ADLs)
Exercises for physical conditioning and improved endurance
Stress management, relaxation exercises, and emotional support
Smoking cessation programs
Nutritional counseling
Patient and family education and counseling
Vocational counseling
COPD rehabilitation programs can be conducted on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Many skilled professionals are part of the pulmonary rehabilitation team, including the following:
Respiratory therapist
Rehabilitation nurse
Physical therapist
Occupational therapist
Social worker
Recreational therapist
Case manager
Vocational therapist
Most COPD health professionals consider the patient and his or her family part of the rehabilitation team. In fact, in order to develop the most appropriate care possible, many teams refer to the need for equal "partnerships" between patients and medical teams.

International Postbox Secretaries looking to the future..
7 participants from Poland, Norway, Sweden, England and the Netherlands attended the International Postbox Secretary Meeting, hosted and organized by the Netherlands and held from 27 - 29 April 2012. In addition participants were able to take excursions to the Keukenhof and participate in Queen's Day.
The location of the meeting was Baarn, a small town of about 25,000 inhabitants in the centre of Holland next to the Palace where the former Queen and Prince lived. Lodgings were in a woodland neighbouring village called Lage Vuursche; a very peaceful village where Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands will live after her retirement.
In this royal setting they had their sessions for the postbox. The Postbox is a programme that aims to give guides and scouts worldwide the opportunity to get into contact with each other in a "safe" way. Nowadays most contacts go through electronic mail and the Postbox guarantees the age and gender of the guides and scouts that are mailing. Postbox Secretaries come together every two or three years to meet each other. Besides meeting between collegues, it is essential to exchange data and experiences in postbox work and of course to add a bit of sightseeing.
Marjolein Sluijter, our International Commissioner, opened the meeting on Friday evening with a lovely story. This was followed by introductions and review of the weekend's programme, the main issue being . The scouts and guides they want to reach are on social networks nowadays.
Besides the session on Friday night there were several others. The list of secretaries was added to and updated and the possibility of starting a group on Facebook for the postbox secretaries to share their thoughts was explored. Scoutface and Scoutlink sites were also looked into.
For sightseeing they visited the famous tulip fields of Keukenhof, ate pancakes, farmer's cabbage and tried buttermilk (karnemelk). The international evening introduced all to the delights of Norwegian sweets, Swedish fish and British cookies...
After a wonderful weekend of friendship and cultural exchange they all went back to their own organisations with the message that the Postbox is a lively programme, a "safe" program, and has taken it's first steps on Facebook.

My time representing you nears its end
The true strength of our Democracy lies in the fact that it allows for, and depends on, ideas for policy and practice to flow from the people to the government. Our system works best when government is responsive to, rather than suppressive of, the needs and opinions and ideas of citizens.
As your representative, it is my duty to vote in a way that I believe to be in your best interest, and to put forward legislation that will improve the lives of people and increase the strength and security of our nation. Over the past four years, the inspiration for those votes and legislation introduced has come from my discussions with citizens across the 8th District. It is common sense that the more people who are thinking about a solution, the greater the odds a good idea will emerge; and the closer to the source, the better.
People tell me every day that they need, want, and deserve a fairer, more effective, responsive and efficient government. They are right. They deserve nothing less. We were able to take some additional steps this week to help end the practice of bad government and return to better practices of fiscal responsibility. Even better, it was done so through bipartisan efforts, which I believe is the only way we will get our government, and our nation, back on track. It's beyond time that folks in Washington put partisanship aside and take actions in the name of our united nation, not political parties, and I was glad to see these efforts made.
This week, the House passed H.R. 4053, the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Improvement Act. This legislation will help eliminate erroneous and improper payments made by the federal government, and is long overdue in my opinion. According to the Government Accountability Office, in Fiscal Year 2010 alone, the federal government made $125.4 billion dollars in improper payments—to fraudulent Medicare providers, deceased Social Security recipients and countless other illegal, improper or wrong parties. Last year, in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services alone, it was found that nearly 10% of payments made were deemed improper. This government waste must end.
In a time where we're fighting to control federal spending and get our government's books in order, we need to make every effort possible to not spend a single penny wastefully or unwisely. In a time where there's an honest ongoing fight to protect our seniors and those among us who have the least, money is being siphoned off by crooks and cheaters and erroneous payments are being made to those who have passed away. It's so incredibly important that we do not attempt to balance the budget on the backs of our older Americans, and government waste like this only leaves more proof that there are better cuts to be made than directly to benefits.
As our nation's leaders continue to debate the solution to the fiscal cliff issues we face, I'll continue to remind them that our seniors and veterans and working families are not to be held hostage in this political fight. Amidst talks of possible reduced benefits or the threat of raising retirement ages, I'll remind them that our seniors did not get us into this mess and they surely shouldn't be forced to help get us out. I question the intent of politicians who think that our nation's fiscal issues are further at risk because 65 and 66-year-olds are seeing their doctors. It's beyond time that this nation starts to keep promises, not break them the moment it's not politically convenient or as part of some sort of presumed "referendum" following an election. Both sides of the aisle are to blame, but I'm hopeful that they'll come to their senses and protect our American people.
Good ideas are rarely found at the political extremes, and the ongoing bickering and pronouncement of "lines in the sand" and issues both parties are unwilling to budge on do nothing for compromise and moving our nation forward. I've heard this from you, the people I'm proud to represent, and I'll continue to make your voice heard in Washington as my time in Congress nears its end. It remains an honor to serve you.
