HyperX performance at an exceptional price
Budget-minded gamers and enthusiasts will benefit from the lower price of Kingston's new HyperX® 3K SSD. This solid-state drive combines premium 3000 program-erase cycle synchronous NAND with the second-generation SandForce® controller. Its lower price means more users can experience ultraresponsive gaming, multitasking and multimedia computing power.
HyperX 3K loads games and applications faster, increases frames per second (FPS) for an improved gaming experience and allows for quick transfers and edits of large media files.
HyperX 3K provides high-speed SATA Rev. 3.0 (6Gb/s) performance and blazing fast random and sequential read/write speeds. SandForce DuraClass™ technology provides the latest data integrity protection for ultimate endurance over the entire life of the drive. The new USB 3.0 external enclosure offers up to 10 times faster transfer speeds when upgrading to an SSD.
HyperX 3K SSD comes in a sleek, black and aluminium case design, accentuating the look of any power user's system. For added peace of mind, HyperX 3K SSD is backed by a three-year warranty and legendary Kingston® reliability.
Kingston's HyperX SSD combines the SandForce controller technology with premium NAND flash, reducing load times while increasing performance and endurance. It provides high-speed SATA Rev 3.0 transfer speeds for larger bandwidth, which power users require for advanced gaming, multitasking and multimedia computing power. Kingston's HyperX SSD lets users load games and applications faster, increase frames per second (FPS) and quickly transfer and edit large media files. It's cool, silent and requires less power and no additional cooling requirements.
When configuring the HyperX SSD partition, the user can choose between having the maximum available capacity for data storage or giving up a little space to increase performance and endurance. This additional space is called over provisioning on an SSD. The amount of performance and endurance increase depends upon the type of data being stored on the HyperX SSD. The more data that is MPEG, JPG, ZIP or ARC file types, the greater the benefit for this increased over provisioning.
HyperX SSD uses an advanced wear leveling technology that distributes writes evenly across all the flash blocks in the SSD to maximize overall drive endurance. Additionally, wear leveling ensures that the individual flash memory blocks are consumed at a very balanced rate, not to exceed a 2-percent difference between the most often written blocks and least written. This enables the HyperX SSD to provide the longest possible life for the user while maintaining optimal performance.

Worthwhile Upgrade
Reviewed by Niki. Review Posted 10/07/2012
I have bought a lot of SSD's in my time, and in general, despite all the figures, it really doesn't matter which manufacturer you choose. They are all fast, and even relatively large differences in speed don't make that much perceived difference to the performance of the PC. Compared to a mechanical drive, everything is faster. However, Kingston do make some rather outrageous claims about games performance! Do they increase FPS? NO they don't! Do they reduce game load times? Well, actually, mostly no! If you are an online player, load times are often restricted by the response of the server, and have little to do with your PC.
Is it a worthwhile updage? Yes! But it doesn't solve all your PC issues...!!

This is an easy to set up drive but does not come with any supporting software or cables.
I cloned it with Acornis wd package and it had no difficulty in loading the drive. You must of course remember to format the drive first or Windows will not find it.

Merril Hoge understands Jahvid Best's frustration. He also understands the headaches, dizziness, wooziness and memory trouble Best has experienced at various points during his concussion-marred career.
Hoge was forced to retire in 1994 after his fourth concussion -- and second in a five-week span -- sent him into cardiac arrest in the Chicago Bears' lockeroom. He spent several days in intensive care and had to learn to read again.
"The fog didn't lift for 18 months,'' he said.
Best has also had four concussions: Two at Cal in 2009 and two with the Detroit Lions in 2011. He hasn't played in 18 months and failed a neurological test last fall.
The 24-year-old's career appears over.
"Based on the length of time, I don't know what doctor is going to clear him," Hoge said. "The longer symptoms linger, the more severe the trauma has been.
"To me, when it gets to this point, it's not even player's choice. The medical staff is not going to clear him. I don't know who clears him."
Best, who remains under contract with the Lions, wants to play again and works out in case he receives medical clearance.
One teammate, receiver Nate Burleson, urged him to retire. Hoge wasn't quite that explicit when asked about Best's future.
"He's just starting out," Hoge said. "You've worked so hard for so long -- for it to be over, that's tough.
"To make the choice you have to be well-informed. If you have aspirations to be a success long term, then you realize that if there are extreme brain issues, you just can't keep doing it.''

Hunter picks up honor
Published: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 3:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 3:22 p.m.
FRISCO, Texas. — Nicholls State senior guard Fred Hunter was named the Southland Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week on Monday.
Hunter averaging 34.5 points and 9 rebounds per game against Oral Roberts and Central Arkansas last week.
This is the second time Hunter was honored by the Southland Conference as its player of the week.
Hunter had his best two-game stretch as a Colonel, with back-to-back 30-point games against the Golden Eagles and Bears and now has three 30-plus point games this season.
Against Oral Roberts, Hunter was the only Colonel to take a free throw against Oral Roberts in scoring 33 points. Two nights later, he grabbed 11 rebounds to go with 36 points against Central Arkansas for his sixth double-double of the season.
Hunter is averaging 19.3 points per game which ties him with ORU's Warren Niles for the scoring lead in the Southland Conference.

Latest news for misoprostol
The look of your Wordpress site, and a lot of how your readers can interact with it is controlled by the use of themes. A theme is basically a directory of files that control the design and presentation of your articles and the layout of your site. A default Wordpress installation comes with a few themes, which makes it ready to use right out of the box. Because of this misoprostol, you can start adding content within minutes of having Wordpress installed. Unfortunately, these themes are being used on tens of thousands of other peoples sites as well. Wordpress offers a wonderful where you can find something to replace the look of the default theme. It is important that if you are looking for a free theme, only use one from the official directory at Wordpress. org. Any theme uploaded there with malicious code or viruses is usually caught and removed from the directory, which is not something that can be said of themes downloaded from random other websites. Still, it can misoprostol take several hours of browsing through the listings before finding something that fits the vision of how you'd like your website to look. Using premium Wordpress themes is one of the best ways to make your website look more professional and add extra functionality while keeping costs and development time down. Listings in the premium directories are full of highly polished designs and better functioning code. By using a premium theme you will save time finding a great look for your site that will actually work better in the long run. My best recommendation for finding a premium theme is to browse through where you can find excellent themes and see examples of them in action. When you hover your cursor over where it says "Wordpress" on the menu bar, a pull-down menu allows you to find themes based on the kind of business you are looking to promote. Misoprostol you can find themes for any number of types from corporate sites and non-profits, mobile sites optimized for viewing on handheld devices, [misoprostol] and ones for more creative types of sites. Once you've narrowed it down to the type of site you're looking to create you can sort the listings, seeing the newest ones, most highly rated or the bestselling. When you've found one that catches your eye take it for a test drive by clicking through to the themes product page and then clicking "Live Preview, " which shows how the theme will once it's been installed and configured on your Wordpress site. Typically, these previews are full of dummy-text but sometimes pages will describe the theme's special features or allow you to change through the available color schemes.

The only competition remaining for the Bay Area's quest to host Super Bowl 50 seemed to evaporate Friday when Florida lawmakers adjourned without taking up a deal to renovate the Miami Dolphins' Sun Life Stadium.
With the Florida measure apparently dead, the 49ers' new $1.2 billion stadium in Santa Clara could now win by default, as the NFL has told Miami it needs the renovations to have a shot when league owners formally pick the host for the 2016 title game later this month.
Nathan Ballard, a spokesman for the Bay Area's bid committee, said Friday afternoon that it's "too early to break out the bubbly. It ain't over until May 21, when the NFL owners make their decision."
Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthews said he's "cautiously optimistic," but also won't pop any Champagne corks just yet.
"As an elected official, I know that the only poll that matters is the one that happens on Election Day, and for this, that'll be the vote of the owners on May 21," he said. "I have always put our faith in our bid."
Florida lawmakers ended their 60-day legislative session Friday without voting on a deal to provide taxpayer support for a $350 million stadium upgrade. Without the legislature's support, Miami-Dade voters won't go to the polls May 14 to weigh in on the tax measure -- the last hope in a hastily scheduled referendum ahead of the NFL owners' vote.
But even some Miami-Dade-area lawmakers flat-out opposed the taxpayer subsidy, leading Republican House Speaker Will Weatherford to ignore supporters' pleas to even hear the bill Friday.
That infuriated the Florida group pushing for the renovation. Miami First Co-Chairs H.T. Smith and Jorge Arrizurieta issued a statement saying their state's lawmakers "clearly showed our community that they would rather play politics than do the right thing."
"The House put at risk the future of Super Bowls and other major events in Miami, which are so critical to our tourism economy. It's a sad day when Tallahassee gives San Francisco and Houston a victory at the expense of our community."
The runner-up for 2016's game was expected to compete against Houston to host the 2017 game, but with Miami now facing fourth-and-long, both years might now be foregone conclusions.
Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross was similarly perturbed, but declared he wasn't giving up.
"In the weeks ahead, I will do all I can to convince my fellow owners to bring the Super Bowl back to Miami-Dade," Ross said. "The bid committee has done a tremendous job to give us a great shot, and my only hope is that it is enough to overcome the terrible message Speaker Weatherford has sent to the NFL tonight."
But Florida lawmakers might've been spooked by the controversial 2009 deal to build a new stadium for the Miami Marlins baseball franchise, replete with huge public debts, lengthy litigation, the recall of several local officials who'd supported the deal and even a Securities and Exchange Commission probe of the Marlins' financial figures.
South Florida's turmoil could turn into the South Bay's gain.
The Bay Area Super Bowl committee of local officials, celebrities, business leaders and dignitaries will wrap up six months of prep work Tuesday by overnighting a package to NFL headquarters in New York City that lays out their case for Super Bowl 50.
Up for grabs are hundreds of millions of dollars in potential economic activity and worldwide prestige to host what could be one of the biggest sporting events in U.S. history -- not to mention home-field advantage for the Niners if, like last season, they make it to the Super Bowl.
The Bay Area is touting its network of hotels and freeways, as well as its extensive tourism experience, in trying to attract its first Super Bowl since 84,000 fans packed Stanford Stadium in 1985. The league's baseline requirements, laid out in a 200-page guidebook, include space for a 10,000-person tailgate party, 35,000 local hotel rooms and a security perimeter to accommodate 2.5 miles worth of fencing around the stadium.
The NFL's 32 owners will review the Bay Area's and Miami's proposals over the next two weeks and vote after 15-minute presentations from both bid committees in Boston on May 21.
The 49ers are on track to kick off in Santa Clara in 2014, with Super Bowl 50 culminating the stadium's second season. On Friday, at the stadium construction site, engineer Greg Rogers said building the stadium that might host the gold anniversary Super Bowl was just another motivator.
"It's obviously great for everyone involved to know their hard work and planning paid off and the stadium will get a real marquee event."
Staff writers Mike Rosenberg and Eric Kurhi contributed to this report.
Wednesday: Bids for Super Bowl 50 are due to NFL headquarters in New York.
May 21: The 32 NFL team owners meet in Boston to hear brief, final presentations from bidders before voting.
2014: Santa Clara Stadium is projected to open.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of cancer that can damage tissue or cause lesions to form in one or more places in the body.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare cancer that begins in LCH cells (a type of dendritic cell which fights infection). Sometimes there are mutations (changes) in LCH cells as they form. These include mutations of the BRAFgene. These changes may make the LCH cells grow and multiply quickly. This causes LCH cells to build up in certain parts of the body, where they can damage tissue or form lesions.
LCH is not a disease of the Langerhans cells that normally occur in the skin.
LCH may occur at any age, but is most common in young children. Treatment of LCH in children is different from treatment of LCH in adults. The treatments for LCH in children and adults are described in separate sections of this summary.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with childhood Langerhans cell histiocytosis. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. Talk with your child's doctor about clinical trials that may be right for your child. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Family history or having a parent who was exposed to certain chemicals may increase the risk of LCH.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. Talk with your doctor if you think you may be at risk. Risk factors for LCH include the following:
The signs and symptoms of LCH depend on where it is in the body.
These and other signs and symptoms may be caused by LCH or by other conditions. Check with your doctor if you or your child have any of the following:
Skin and nails
LCH in infants may affect the skin only. In some cases, skin-only LCH may get worse over weeks or months and become a form called high-risk multisystem LCH.
In infants, signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the skin may include:
In children and adults, signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the skin and nails may include:
Signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the mouth may include:
Signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the bone may include:
Children with LCH lesions in bones around the ears or eyes have a high risk for diabetes insipidus and other central nervous system disease.
Lymph nodes and thymus
Signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the lymph nodes or thymus may include:
Endocrine system
Signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the pituitary gland may include:
Signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the thyroid may include:
Central nervous system (CNS)
Signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the CNS (brain and spinal cord) may include:
These signs and symptoms may be caused by lesions in the CNS or by CNS neurodegenerative syndrome.
Liver and spleen
Signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the liver or spleen may include:
Signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the lung may include:
Bone marrow
Signs or symptoms of LCH that affects the bone marrow may include:
Tests that examine the organs and body systems where LCH may occur are used to detect (find) and diagnose LCH.
The following tests and procedures may be used to detect (find) and diagnose LCH or conditions caused by LCH:
The following tests may be done on the tissue that was removed:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
LCH in organs such as the skin, bones, lymph nodes, or pituitary gland usually gets better with treatment and is called "low- risk". LCH in the spleen, liver, or bone marrow is harder to treat and is called "high-risk".
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
In infants up to one year of age, LCH may go away without treatment.
There is no staging system for Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).
The extent or spread of cancer is usually described as stages. There is no staging system for LCH.
Treatment of LCH is based on where LCH cells are found in the body and how many body systems are affected.
LCH is described as single-system disease or multisystem disease, depending on how many body systems are affected:
LCH may affect low-risk organs or high-risk organs:
Recurrent Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. The cancer may come back in the same place or in other parts of the body. It often recurs in the bone, ears, skin, or pituitary gland. LCH often recurs the year after stopping treatment. When LCH recurs, it may also be called reactivation.
There are different types of treatment for patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).
Different types of treatments are available for patients with LCH. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Whenever possible, patients should take part in a clinical trial in order to receive new types of treatment for LCH. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI website. Choosing the most appropriate treatment is a decision that ideally involves the patient, family, and health care team.
Children with LCH should have their treatment planned by a team of health care providers who are experts in treating childhood cancer.
Treatment will be overseen by a pediatric oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating children with cancer. The pediatric oncologist works with other pediatric healthcare providers who are experts in treating children with LCH and who specialize in certain areas of medicine. These may include the following specialists:
Some cancer treatments cause side effects months or years after treatment for childhood cancer has ended.
Side effects from cancer treatment that begin during or after treatment and continue for months or years are called late effects. Late effects of cancer treatment may include the following:
Some late effects may be treated or controlled. It is important to talk with your child's doctors about the effects cancer treatment can have on your child. (See the PDQ summary on Late Effects of Treatment for Childhood Cancer for more information.)
Many patients with multisystem LCH have late effects caused by treatment or by the disease itself. These patients often have long-term health problems that affect their quality of life.
Nine types of standard treatment are used:
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly onto the skin or into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy).
Chemotherapy agents given by injection or by mouth are used to treat LCH. Chemotherapy agents include vinblastine, cytarabine, cladribine, and methotrexate. Nitrogen mustard is a drug that is put directly on the skin to treat small LCH lesions.
Surgery may be used to remove LCH lesions and a small amount of nearby healthy tissue. Curettage is a type of surgery that uses a curette (a sharp, spoon-shaped tool) to scrape LCH cells from bone.
When there is severe liver or lung damage, the entire organ may be removed and replaced with a healthy liver or lung from a donor.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. In LCH, a special lamp may be used to send ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation toward LCH skin lesions.
Photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy is a cancer treatment that uses a drug and a certain type of laser light to kill cancer cells. A drug that is not active until it is exposed to light is injected into a vein. The drug collects more in cancer cells than in normal cells. For LCH, laser light is aimed at the skin and the drug becomes active and kills the cancer cells. Photodynamic therapy causes little damage to healthy tissue. Patients who have photodynamic therapy should not spend too much time in the sun.
In one type of photodynamic therapy, called psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy, the patient receives a drug called psoralen and then ultraviolet A radiation is directed to the skin.
Biologic therapy
Biologic therapy is a treatment that uses the patient's immune system to fight cancer. Substances made by the body or made in a laboratory are used to boost, direct, or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer. This type of cancer treatment is also called biotherapy or immunotherapy.
Interferon is a type of biologic therapy used to treat LCH of the skin. Immunomodulators are also a type of biologic therapy. Thalidomide is an immunomodulator used to treat LCH.
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to find and attack LCH cells without harming normal cells. Imatinib mesylate is a type of targeted therapy called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It stops blood stem cells from turning into dendritic cells that may become cancer cells. Other types of kinase inhibitors that affect cells with the BRAF gene, such as dabrafenib and vemurafenib, are being studied in clinical trials for LCH.
A family of genes, called ras genes, may cause cancer when they are mutated (changed). Ras genes make proteins that are involved in cell signaling pathways, cell growth, and cell death. Ras pathway inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy being studied in clinical trials. They block the actions of a mutated ras gene or its protein and may stop the growth of cancer.
Other drug therapy
Other drugs used to treat LCH include the following:
Stem cell transplant
Stem cell transplant is a method of giving chemotherapy and replacing blood-forming cells destroyed by the LCH treatment. Stem cells (immature blood cells) are removed from the blood or bone marrow of the patient or a donor and are frozen and stored. After the chemotherapy is completed, the stored stem cells are thawed and given back to the patient through an infusion. These reinfused stem cells grow into (and restore) the body's blood cells.
Observation is closely monitoring a patient's condition without giving any treatment until signs or symptoms appear or change.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI website.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options for Childhood LCH and the Treatment Options for Adult LCH sections for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's clinical trials database.
When treatment of LCH stops, new lesions may appear or old lesions may come back.
Many patients with LCH get better with treatment. However, when treatment stops, new lesions may appear or old lesions may come back. This is called reactivation (recurrence) and may occur within one year after stopping treatment. Patients with multisystem disease are more likely to have a reactivation. More common sites of reactivation are bone, ears, or skin. Diabetes insipidus also may develop. Less common sites of reactivation include lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, liver, or lung. Some patients may have more than one reactivation over a number of years.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose LCH may be repeated. This is to see how well the treatment is working and if there are any new lesions. These tests may include:
Other tests that may be needed include:
Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
Treatment of Low-Risk Disease in Children
Skin Lesions
Treatment of childhood Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) skin lesions may include the following:
When severe rashes, pain, ulceration, or bleeding occur, treatment may include the following:
Lesions in Bones or Other Low-Risk Organs
Treatment of childhood LCH bone lesions in the front, sides, or back of the skull, or in any other single bone may include the following:
Treatment of childhood LCH lesions in bones around the ears or eyes is done to lower the risk of diabetes insipidus and other long-term problems. Treatment may include:
Treatment of childhood LCH lesions of the spine or thigh bone lesions may include:
Treatment of two or more bone lesions may include:
Treatment of two or more bone lesions combined with childhood LCH skin lesions, lymph node lesions, or diabetes insipidus may include:
Treatment of High-Risk Disease in Children
Treatment of childhood LCH multisystem disease lesions in the spleen, liver, or bone marrow (with or without skin, bone, lymph node, lung, or pituitary gland lesions) may include:
Treatment of childhood LCH central nervous system (CNS) lesions may include:
Treatment of LCH CNS neurodegenerative syndrome may include:
Treatment Options for Recurrent, Refractory, and Progressive Childhood LCH in Children
Recurrent LCH is cancer that cannot be detected for some time after treatment and then comes back. Treatment of recurrent childhood LCH in the skin, bone, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, pituitary gland, or central nervous system (low-risk organs) may include:
Refractory LCH is cancer that does not get better with treatment. Treatment of refractory childhood LCH in high-risk organs and in multisystem low-risk organs may include high-dose chemotherapy. Treatment of childhood LCH in multisystem high-risk organs that did not respond to chemotherapy may include stem cell transplant.
Progressive LCH is cancer that continues to grow during treatment. Treatment of progressive childhood LCH in patients with multisystem disease may include anticancer drugs that have not been given to the patient before.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) in adults is a lot like LCH in children and can form in the same organs and systems as it does in children. These include the endocrine and central nervous systems, liver, spleen, bone marrow, and gastrointestinal tract. In adults, LCH is most commonly found in the lung as single-system disease. LCH in the lung occurs more often in young adults who smoke. Adult LCH is also commonly found in bone or skin.
As in children, the signs and symptoms of LCH depend on where it is found in the body. See the General Information section for the signs and symptoms of LCH.
Tests that examine the organs and body systems where LCH may occur are used to detect (find) and diagnose LCH. See the General information section for tests and procedures used to diagnose LCH.
In adults, there is not a lot of information about what treatment works best. Sometimes, information comes only from reports of the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of one adult or a small group of adults who were given the same type of treatment.
Treatment Options for LCH of the Lung in Adults
Treatment for LCH of the lung in adults may include:
Sometimes LCH of the lung will go away or not get worse even if it's not treated.
Treatment Options for LCH of the Bone in Adults
Treatment for LCH that affects only the bone in adults may include:
Treatment Options for LCH of the Skin in Adults
Treatment for LCH that affects only the skin in adults may include:
Treatment for LCH that affects the skin and other body systems in adults may include:
Treatment Options for Single-System and Multisystem LCH in Adults
Treatment of single-system and multisystem disease in adults may include:
For more information about LCH trials for adults, see the Histiocyte Society website.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with adult Langerhans cell histiocytosis. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. Talk with your child's doctor about clinical trials that may be right for your child. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Changes were made to this summary to match those made to the health professional version.
About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the treatment of childhood and adult Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Pediatric Treatment Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's Web site. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. -- It's technology that made history in Aiken County.
"What you have here is a fuel cell in the bottom, and you have a hydrogen storage tank at the top, and this is made to directly replace a battery pack forklift," said Ted Motyka, Hydrogen Program manager for the Savannah River National Laboratory at SRS.
It's a battery that runs on hydrogen to power a simple forklift. It was used for the first time in an industrial park setting in Graniteville. Now, it's a technology being used all over the United States.
"This is apparently cost savings already for a lot of companies," he said.
He says the batteries charged in two minutes rather than about 10 hours. That's how long a normal one would take. He says it's just another example of how the Center for Hydrogen Research is changing the energy game.
"When it comes to hydrogen, there is nobody anywhere that has the capability that we have in hydrogen programs," said Fred Humes, director emeritus of the Economic Development Partnership of South Carolina.
He was instrumental in creating the center at the the Savannah River Research Campus at Savannah River Site. He says the center is now advancing research in hydrogen power, which burns cleanly, and we'll never run out of it.
That's not only good for this area, but he says it's good for the country as a whole.
"We will make a significant contribution to energy independence in this country through the use of hydrogen. Aiken's right in the middle of it," he said.
By making the country better, he says this area will become better economically, too.
"Any jobs that we bring to town is not only in Aiken County but in surrounding counties," Humes said.
That's good news for S.C. Rep. J. Roland Smith, R-Aiken, and possibly South Carolina's double-digit unemployment rate.
"We can have our unemployment numbers down in the 4 and 5 percent ratio," he said.
As for Humes, he believes which ever nation invests in renewable energy will be the superpower for years to come. He says that's why what they're doing out there is so important.
Of course, he says we may be decades away from seeing and feeling the full impact of it, but the work being done right now is to make sure that the future is bright for Aiken County and the United States as a whole.
He says hydrogen is the perfect step toward energy independence: We won't be buying oil from people who don't really like us anymore.

Retirement is a wonderful experience. When I made the decision, I never assumed that I should handpick my successor or have any reason to care who took my place.
In the case of interim Stark County Sheriff Timothy Swanson ("Swanson asks court to rule out Maier," Nov. 19), I guess that is not the case.
In my opinion, all he has done at this point is to send red flags flying that make me question what he and his shadow, Lt. Louis Darrow, know that they are afraid former Sheriff George Maier might uncover.

WooHoo!! JoeDadd!! Congrats!!
That Mudder run sounds a bit scary, but exciting, might have to look into it.
I just completed W1D3!! It felt good, I had good form and good breathing. I have a good route for around my house so I have no excuses, just wake up throw on my clothes and shoes and run out the door.
When I did D2 I accidentally ran for 2.5 min. Some dogs started barking right when the podcast guy was saying to walk and I missed it so I kept running, uphill!! LOL But I did fine just was like, "wow this is a long minute!"
I really want to do the 5K now I just need to find a way to pay for it, an extra 35 bucks is hard to come by, especially since gas prices just went up to $4.21!! What Happpened! It was $3.56 last time I got gas....
Anyway Cool Runnings,
Congrats Joedadd!!!!!! You're kickin' asphalt now. Seriously, enjoy the moment and keep it up.
Started C25K 3/29/11 for the third time - Graduated 7/1/11 - some of us take longer
Completed Races
Webster Co. Woodchopping Festival 5K (5/28/11) 38:03 "Holy crap! Did he just say 38 something? I was hopinig for 45 minutes"
Never underestimate yourself!
That Dam Race 5K 7/23/11 44:46 - a challenging route & a hot day- but I will do better next year!
"Run for the Ta-Ta's 5K 10/29/11 39:54 in the snow!
Woodchoppers 5K 5/26/12 36:08 My 5 year old was 5 minutes behind me. Way to go Liat!
Fly By 10k 6/16/12 1:24:12
And the dream race...
"Flying Pig Half Marathon" Cincinnati, OH (May 2013)
I've started the C25K again, I tried about 3.5 years ago but wasn't as dedicated as I should have been so the results were well, pretty predictable. I'm at W3D2 right now, I've never been a runner, I'm a female in my late forties and my weight when I started this time was approx 220. I'm cross training on my off days and dieting, I've been losing weight but really don't expect more than 2lbs a week at most because i want to do this healthy.
I should finish the program in April and will do a 5k then. I'm just curious, if there are any women out there in my weight range who have completed the program and have been able to run the distance non-stop at a pace over 4.0 mph. Is it reasonable to think that at just over 200 lbs (i'm 5'4") I could actually run at a decent pace? or is that a goal i should set for later at a lower weight.
I'm really not trying to focus on a pace or time, I just want to have a realistic expectation so as not to be disappointed if I make it through in 9 weeks but still get passed by walkers, not that it would bother me, just setting expectations.
Continued with my running program today post c25k. I will add a quarter mile after every 3 runs until I am running 45 minutes straight then decide where to go from there. I've read that weight loss is maximized when aerobic exercise is 40 minutes and longer. In this case, 45 minutes of running and 10 minutes of walking puts me well above. I'm not sure it its true but well, who cares...it is still worth the effort.
@maginaz, I am not a female but I will take a stab at your question. 4MPH is a 15 minute mile. You should be able to do that when you are up to 5K. However, if you cannot, keep it in perspective: you are still faster than the millions of people who are still on the couch:) Also, don't worry about running non-stop. Most people will stop to pick up water along the way during a 5k at least once so don't worry about taking a walk once or twice in your routine.
Whatever you do, just keep at it.
Short term goal - 10/31/2012 - 241 LBS
Intermediate Goal - 230 LBS by 12/31/2012
Long term goal - 190 LBS - Sometime in the distant future.
Running: Complete Broad Street Run May 2013
Hey Guys,
I've got my computer back. Had a hardware issue. Anyway, good to see newcomers, keep it up!
I got my 5 miles yesterday and 93 miles for the month of February. The Half Marathon is in just about two months.
Joedadd - Excellant Job!
maginaz - I agree with joedadd. Don't worry about walking. As you progress and build muscle you will find yourself taking less walk breaks. and as you build stamina and endurance speed will naturally pick up.
"It does not get easier... you get stronger"
"Once I decided quitting wasn't an option, the rest was easy." - Michele
I am new to running... well I guess I am new to working out period. I am writing a blog about my weight loss experience and I met another blogger who told me about this site. I would like to try it and see what happens. I like how there are steps and each one takes a week. I think in 9 weeks I might be able to start running. I am going to start this new venture on Monday! Any advice?
I did W2D2, adn ran on a trail. It was tough, uphill a lot and by th emiddle of my run my legs felt like rubber. But I turned around and kept running. I completed it and feel good. I have had a lot of energy but am very Hungry now!! I am trying to eat more lean protien (yogurt and fruit, etc) but I still feel hungy! oh well
Kristi - Eating dense protein will fill you up and make you feel full for a longer period of time. I usually eat a protein bar right after a run. Funny thing is, for me on the days I run I am rarely hungry but on my off days I feel hungry all day long. Go figure!
That is an awesome idea documenting your journey, ConfessionsOfAJunkFoodKid. I wish I had done that. I started C25K in August and ran my first 5K on 12/04/11. It was an awesome experience. My advice would be, if you don't think you can run any further slow your pace down. Your body can and will get there!
Greetings everyone, it is great to find this club! After reading some of the posts I think my story is similar to many others. I was, once upon a time, a multi sport athlete and runner-half marathon being my best distance. I am 6' 2" and used to compete at around 215-220 pounds. About 2 years ago I woke up one morning and decided, after 30 plus years, I was bored with running. So, I switched to walking which I eventually changed to napping and competitive Stratolounger surfing.
Now, at 57, I am 250 pounds, hypertensive, and get winded changing my mind. I have come to realize 1) the decision to quit running has had a profound effect on my physical and mental wellbeing and 2) I miss running. I have decided to start running with my first goal being a 5k in 2 months and a longer goal of running a 10k by July 31st. Today is my first day training, I will see if I can stretch without hurting myself .

Thanks Joedadd, I'm sticking with it. I completed wk 3 today and felt good.
Hello everyone, been off on travel the past couple of weeks (Bangkok, Thailand and Hanoi, Vietnam). Managed to maintain weight on the trip - East Asia is great place to eat and not gain weight. I also managed to get out most morning and walk/jog anywhere between 5 to 8 Km a day. Managed to get to Lumpini Park a great place to get a morning jog in. Also got to see the locals out in the morning practicing TAI Chi. Saw the Monitor lizards as well. In Hanoi, walked around a lake that started out as bomb crater from the '72 bombings. Not nearly as nice as Lumpini park but still nice place to walk around. According to my back of envelope calculations (and iphone app) I managed almost 50 Km during the trip (48.7 to be exact). This doesn't count all the general walking around. Managed to get out yesterday and did 8+ K around the local area and get back into jogging without needing to look down all the time to avoid stepping in potholes etc. We take thing like relatively smooth and hole free trails and sidewalks for granted.
Getting ready for my first race of the season this coming sunday 11 March - St. Patricks day 8k in Wash D.C. I shooting to be under 1 hour for this event. I'm working toward 1/2 marathon in May (Marine Corp Historic Half - this will be fourth time I've done this race).
happy trails everyone!

finished W2D3 today, did good, and it did help to eat a protien (hard boiled eggs) right after the run. I wonder if when I beginning running farther and faster again I will also begin feeling less hungry when I run.
have a great day everyone

I dunno, honestly I think it's your body asking for the building blocks to create muscle, I notice that if I am not pushing myself very hard I am not hungry but if I go after a crazy hard run then I am starving. Races always make me hungry. Good job on having food ready to go, I went after peanut butter and crackers a lot which is bad (but tasty) I think Chobani is a great choice as are eggs. =)

Doctor Sergio Seoane Committed to Preparation, Organization
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 3:18 a.m.
LAKELAND | A small boy who dreamed of being a fighter pilot lurks behind the business attire and occasional lab coat that Dr. Sergio Seoane wears in his professional life.
Sergio Benito Seoane
Born: Nov. 10, 1959, in Miami.
Profession: Medical doctor practicing in Lakeland.
Family: Wife, Dr. Debra Seoane, two children, Bryce, 7, and Taylor, 3.
Hobbies: Flying his Piper Cherokee 6, spending time with his family, reading (predominantly histories and biographies), watching classic movies like "The Godfather" and "Casablanca."
Last Book Read: "John Adams" by David McCullough.
Favorite food: Steak.
Pet Peeves: People who are unprepared and people who are deliberately reckless.
Philosophy: "The key in life is to have integrity. If you have integrity and you're honest, that will serve you well. Usually the hardest choice is the right choice."
Professional education: Medical degree from Universidad Central Del Este in the Dominican Republic; family medicine residency at Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Family Medicine, St. Catherine's Hospital, Kenosha; internal medicine residency at Alton Ochsner Medical Foundation, Department of Internal Medicine, New Orleans; fellowship in pulmonary/critical care medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis. Licensed in Florida in 1999.
Latest achievements: Elected 2013 president of Central Florida Physicians Alliance, elected this month to board of directors of Florida Medical Association's political action committee.
Other accomplishments, activities: President Polk County Medical Association in 2006, chairman of its board of trustees in 2007, other offices; Civil Aviation Medical Association life member and member of its board of directors; Citizens Health Care Oversight Committee member 2009-2012 to monitor county's indigent care spending; Florida Medical Association delegate 2004-2012; We Care of Polk County medical director 2006-2008; Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine Board of Trustees 2006-2008.
Something in the way the Miami native's eyes shine when he describes his 40-year association with the Civil Air Patrol, or the enthusiasm with which he recounts details of a World War II air battle, let you know that boyhood dream never quite died.
The boy who learned the importance of pre-flight checks at a young age retains a strong commitment to preparation and organization.
He gives his wife a detailed schedule of which out-of-town conferences he plans to attend, when the office will be open, his political meetings and everything else on his typically busy calendar.
"He very rarely does spontaneous," said his wife, Dr. Debra Seoane, a surgeon.
"Occasionally, he will do something that surprises me, but he usually plans it in advance."
She and others are quick to add, however, that he follows the code of adapt and overcome if plans must change.
One of his biggest discoveries in fatherhood, a role Sergio Seoane said he relishes, was recognizing a scheduled departure takes second place to a skinned knee or a dirty diaper.
Seoane, 53, is a solo practitioner at a time when doctors increasingly shy away from practicing on their own.
Ability to organize is what allows time for his pivotal role as the newly elected president of the Central Florida Physicians Alliance. The alliance operates to give independent doctors like himself a stronger position in the fluctuating health-care environment.
Pressure on solo doctors and small practices took new twists in recent years as the federal government suggested doctors and hospitals form different types of alliances to prepare for proposed changes in how they are paid.
Closer to home, Lakeland Regional Medical Center, where many of the alliance's 200-plus doctors practice, intends to be a teaching hospital.
Seoane, pronounced see-own, took time from his daytime medical practice in 2009-2011 to volunteer as a member of the Citizens Health Care Oversight Committee.
That advisory group monitors how Polk County spends indigent-care money raised by a local half-cent sales tax.
As a committee member, and before that as president of the Polk County Medical Association, Seoane often spoke out against county plans he didn't consider the best ways to spend those funds.
Although he's busy, he said, piloting his Piper Cherokee 6 to medical and air patrol meetings gives him time for flying, his first love.
Sergio Benito Seoane was born in Miami in 1959 to Sergio Seoane, who died last year, and his wife, Martha, both natives of Cuba. He is the oldest of their five children.
Seoane saw Cuba as an infant during a visit by his family and from a distance when, as a teenager, he persuaded a commander in Key West to take him on a training flight.
Out of respect for his grandfather, who was forced to flee Cuba, he said he won't take his children there as long as it remains Communist.
Seoane's father was a cargo supervisor for Tan Airlines, a Honduran airline. Being at the airport with him fascinated the young Seoane.
Although he learned in high school his vision was too bad to let him be a fighter pilot, it isn't bad enough to keep him from flying in private life.
He joined the Civil Air Patrol at 13 and got a CAP scholarship to learn to fly at 17.
He took its management and leadership courses, which he said has helped him organize his practice and his life.
CAP let him meet aviation greats such as Paul Garber, head of the National Air Museum at the Smithsonian, and Gen. Benjamin O. Davis, who in World War II led the Tuskegee Airmen in North Africa.
Seoane went into medicine because he liked science and figuring things out.
After graduating from medical school, he entered the Medical College of Wisconsin family residency program.
Although Wisconsin had numerous opportunities for practicing in private offices, he persuaded program officials to let him spend months at Safford, a small Arizona town, where his patients included Native Americans from a nearby reservation.
Among his vivid memories of that time are delivering babies and a woman refusing a Caesarean section until a medicine man sprinkled sacred powder in the operating room.
He then did three years training in internal medicine in New Orleans, followed by three years in pulmonary critical care at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.
He describes some of the brilliant clinicians he met with the same enthusiasm with which he recounted his younger Civil Air Patrol years.
The lure of academia was strong, but he and his wife, who grew up in Eustis, wanted to be closer to their families.
Balancing family and their own career goals led them to Polk County in 1999.
"We thought we could have a bigger impact in a smaller community because there aren't as many doctors," he said. "We'd be more satisfied by having a greater impact on the health of a community."
With his wife doing general surgery and trauma, however, they couldn't be somewhere as isolated as a reservation.
Sergio Seoane had offices in a couple of locations, including Merchants Walk, before moving in 2008 to his Allamanda Drive office.
"He's an extremely genuine guy," said Sean McMicken, an advanced practice nurse who worked with Seoane.
"He's demanding, but he's more demanding on himself. He doesn't ask anything of anyone he's not willing to do."
Emily Boege, who became friends with Seoane and his wife through her husband's aviation business in Winter Haven, recalled the physician spending two hours persuading a diabetic he needed treatment for that disease.
"He said 'It hurts me to see people who have the resources to get care and they won't use them,' " Boege said.
Other than that, she's never seen him upset and said he appears "always so cheerful."
Seoane accepts the discounted rates of the Polk HealthCare Plan, the sales-tax funded program of indigent care for Polk residents, and some charity care referred by We Care, which matches patients with doctors.
While helping increase access to care, he also is fierce about protecting the rights of doctors. That led to his many positions with the Polk County Medical Association,
With the Polk County Medical Association and on the oversight committee, he opposed county plans to provide up-front funding to let Central Florida Health Care or other federally qualified health centers add locations.
That set him at odds with former County Commissioner Bob English and others who saw that type of center crucial part of improving access to health care.
On the board of the Florida Medical Association's political action committee this year, Seoane sides with FMA in opposing a proposal to expand optometrists' role.
Yet he isn't walking in lockstep with the American Medical Association, FMA's national organization.
"The AMA does not represent the position of most physicians," he said of some of its national positions, adding that he prefers to work from within to make changes.
At one point, Seoane was on staff at hospitals in Lakeland, Bartow and Lake Wales. Since 2004, however, he hasn't been on staff at any.
When the couple had their first child, they knew it could be difficult for both to be on call. Debra Seoane's job as a trauma surgeon at LRMC requires her to be on call.
His schedule was easier to change, he said.
If it's one of his days to take Bryce, 7, and Taylor, 3, to or from school, or watch them at home, his schedule blocks off that time.
Hospital-based physicians see his patients if they need hospitalization, Seoane said, while pointing out:
"My job is to keep you out of the hospital."

Struggle Plate Heaven: Feast Your Eyes On The MUST-FOLLOW "CookingForBae" IG Account
- By Bossip Staff Categories: Attention Slores, For Discussion, For Your Information
There's nothing funnier than a good 'ole struggle plate splattered with broken dreams and self-hatred. In fact, struggle plates are one of only three things that unify Black Twitter (2. "Scandal" 3. "Love & Hip-Hop"). Without them, Instagram, Thanksgiving and life, in general, wouldn't be as enjoyable.
Here's the best of the wildly-popular "CookingForBae" Instagram account. Take a look (at your own risk).

Hey PS3MS'ers,
I played around with this to transcode so my Sony Bravia 5100 series TV a year or so ago but I didn't have much luck.
So I am at it again. I have PMS 1.5 working for audio files, but no luck with the video yet. I think it's an issue with transcoding to PAL rather then NTSC, as best I can figure out from stuff on the forums.
The problem is: I can see the # transcode # folders and the content in them, say file.avi, but when I go to play, I get "content not avaliable"
# transcode # --> File.xxx --> "there is no content to play"

Praiano in lights
Luminaria di San Domenico? Every year, since 1599, Praiano the people of Praiano have decorated their balconies, terraces and gardens with lamps lit by wax and oil. This custom originates from when Dominican Monks came to the Monastery of Santa Maria a Castro, situated on the hill above Praiano. As the story goes, before the birth of Domenico, his mother dreamt of a dog with a flaming torch in his mouth, and, so , when Domenico was born he had to spread ?God?s word throughout the world?.?Luminaria di San Domenico? is an Event which comes to live every year from August 1st to August 4th to celebrate San Domenico. On August 4th , in the early in the morning (the first Mass is at 6.30 am), Praiano celebrates the Festival of San Domenico.
