Hikaru emulator, anyone?
Hey all,
I have been working for some time on a sega hikaru emulator, valkyrie. You may have seen a couple of screenshots on R.Belmont's blog, but there have not been any official news; so I figured I should write a status report of some sorts.
A short introduction: valkyrie is an incomplete, slow, primitive, crude and sometimes hacky sega hikaru emulator, written from scratch by reversing the few existing hikaru dumps, in my very limited spare time. Only linux is currently supported (it should be rather easy to port to windows/osx, but I can't do the porting myself, as I use linux boxes only.)
At the time of writing, valkyrie is able to run the bootrom almost fully, including the simple 3D triangle strips making up the bootrom menu. Furthermore it can display the bitmap layers used to render 2D stuff on screen: planet harriers and airtrix up reach the title screen; sega nascar arcade also shows the intro screen; brave fire fighters is trying desperately to display the title screen, but given that there are no dumps for most of the texture data, it renders garbage. So there is some promise here.
(An appetizer: the 3D intro in pharrier is actually being pushed to the GPU, the problem is that I don't know yet how to render it. I mean, valkyrie _can_ render the meshes somewhat using a canonical orthographic viewport, but I don't know how to make use of the viewport and modelview matrices uploaded by the game. At some point the game just uploads NaNs, though.)
However there is still a ton missing stuff: AICA and input emulation (I'm using an ugly hack to fake them; probably missing AICA/input IRQs are the main cause of current emulation errors), my understanding of the graphics hardware is still rather limited (I _think_ I figured out most of the GPU ISA; but many instructions are still unknown), and the exact ROM mapping of some games (sega nascar arcade, and likely podrace) is unclear.
I'll take some time in the next few weeks to fix the obvious warts in the code, and then upload a git tree to github, so that people can start looking at it and possibly contribute some man power. The ETA is likely 2-4 weeks.
The code will be licensed under the GPL2 or GPL3 (I have yet to pick one.), so it's free and open source, and yours to improve upon (or port to MAME.)
Have fun,

Any tips for settings or another C64 emulator?

However, I can't get it to work in the 2 C64 emulators I tried (CCs-64 and Vice). Vice sees it but only inputs junk ( no response and constantly up-left input), CCS-64 seems to ignore it all together.
Any tips for settings or another C64 emulator?
It's to do with how Windows 7 assigns the different directional options on the 360 pad, the Dpad is classed as a 'Point Of View' input, like what you get on the top of Flight Sim Joysticks, which allow you look around with a 360 view, so emulators have to be programmed to take account of this, CCS-64 isn't, so like mr_pickle said, map the keyboard cursor keys to the U,D,L,R position's within CCS64, and with Xpadder, assign the DPad on your 360 controller to those same keys in Xpadder.
Hope that makes sense...

If you use bsnes, use the 32bit version (even if you have x64) as it runs waaaaay faster.
That said, although I recently moved to bsnes, I used zsnes prior to that and played SMK with no issues. I did however, get the problems you allude to, until I changed my rom. I used verified goodsets.

I've seen videos of it running perfectly through ZSNES, which confused me. I'll try a different ROM then, cheers.
You will need the newest DSP Rom dumps to play some SNES games perfectly on BSNES.just put them (unzipped) into your main Snes Rom folder for BSNES to find.
..not sure if Mario Kart is one of the games that needs them though...suspect it does.

Improvements in processing power really hit home when you see an eBook reader playing PlayStation games. Sure, we're talking about a system which launched more than 15 years ago (the original PlayStation launched way back in 1995), but this is a $99 device which seems to be playing the games at full speed!
[Sean] wrote in to share the project with us. After rooting the device he installed System 7 (aka Mac OS 7) using Mini vMac for Android. He uses Free PlayStation Emulator (FPSE) to run the games. There is an Android version which provides the touch-screen controls you see above. We figured the graphics would be awful, but the video after the break proves us wrong. Other than being in black and white we think the graphics are fantastic. Just one hack was necessary to make this happen. [Sean] uses NoRefresh to keep the Nook from refreshing the screen which is what causes the film-negative type of flashing after several page turns.

RE: Dolphin. Has anyone had problems with stuttering sound and if so is there an obvious fix?
On some games you need to use the LLE recompiler option which in turn means you'll need the DSP roms (dsp_coef.bin & dsp_rom.bin placed in your main Dolphin directory) for it to work, but it is slower than the HLE setting, so you'll need a top end CPU (more than you already do!)

Local content is key as First Solar looks to SAComment on this story
Dubai - It is only a few minutes after 10am and it is a scorching hot day in Dubai. The control system of the 59 hectare photovoltaic (PV) plant that US solar firm First Solar has built in the middle of the desert reads an output of 9.4 megawatts.
That was the amount of PV power that the 13MW plant was already generating that early in the morning. But the plant manager said the power output on this day was not at its optimum level as the radiance level sat at 786 watts a square metre.
On a normal day, the radiance level is 1 kilowatt per square metre of the plant. With that radiance, the plant can easily produce between 11MW and 13MW of power.
The fact that thin PV film is used instead of silicone, which is the case in most PV plants, is what helps the solar farm in Dubai generate power up to its full capacity.
First Solar is the leader in the production of advanced thin film PV solar technology. Thin PV film reacts better at high temperature and in very humid environments. The plant uses a 1 000V DC system, meaning it has a maximum potential of 1 000 volts. A car battery's voltage for instance is 12V DC. Each one of the plant's modules is rated 85W.
Although localisation was not a requirement when the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority awarded the bid to build the plant to First Solar, 50 percent of the entire project was sourced within Abu Dhabi and Dubai. This included all steel structures, all building materials, transformers and the construction.
First Solar's approach to localisation was the same wherever it went, the company said. And this was the plan it had for South Africa too.
"We've done this everywhere where the technology is available locally," said Laura Luckhurst, the business development manager for sub-Saharan Africa. "In South Africa we'll do the steel fabrication locally and we are localising our tracker. Over the long term, in three to four years, our goal is to have 100 percent local content for the trackers."
Currently, 63 percent of the firm's single-axis trackers in its South African projects consists of local content. The trackers are used on the panels to track the direction of the sun.
Considering that the Trade and Industry Department considered imported steel, fabricated locally, as 100 percent local content for steel, Luckhurst said First Solar would do economic analysis when deciding whether to source its steel in South Africa, where prices are considered uncompetitive.
"There are shipping costs that one has to bear in mind. Will it not be better to pay a little extra to get the steel locally and eliminate those transport costs? That's something we'd have to sit down and weigh which one makes economic sense for us."
Half of First Solar's market share comes from projects with a capacity of 100MW and above. Its biggest project is in California where it has two 550MW AC plants. The project occupies 4 000ha of land.
But the company is now making its way into the market of smaller PV projects and considers the Middle East and Africa region as its prime target markets for this.
First Solar and other international firms, and even the World Bank, consider South Africa one of the continent's "hot spots" for renewable energies because it already has a roadmap to integrate cleaner fuels into its energy plan.
* Londiwe Buthelezi was sponsored by First Solar to attend the World Future Energy Summit.

Android Touch Screen not working
I just encountered the following problem while I was testing my application with the Titanium Studio emulator : touch screen only works with Titanium SDK lower than 1.7.2.
I'm using Titanium Studio build 220.127.116.11204132053, Titanium SDK 2.0.1.GA2 (Android Runtime V8) and Google APIs Android 4.0.3. If I use Titanium SDK 1.7.2 touch screen works just fine, but if I try with a newer version of the SDK it does't work. On my computer I have Ubuntu 11.10 with Linux Kernel 3.3. Is there anyone else who has my same problem with touch-screen? HELP!!!!
1 Answer
Often when a touch event is not registering as one would expect, there is another view's event handler that is intercepting the event because of overlay/zindex conflicts.
In 2.0.1, the layout defaults for most of the UI items has changed, which may place a newly added object in front of an existing item. Titanium 2.0 Layout Changes

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and grease and line the base and sides of a deep 20cm round cake tin with a little of the butter and baking parchment. Put the butter, 250g sugar and vanilla into a big mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy with an electric whisk.
- Beat in the eggs, one by one, then fold in the 300g flour and baking powder. Spoon out 85g of the batter, and stir the extra 7 tbsp flour and cinnamon into this with a cutlery knife so it becomes crumbly.
- Fold the rhubarb into the rest of the cake batter and scrape into the prepared tin. Scatter over the crumble mix followed by 1 tbsp sugar. Bake for 1 hr 15 mins, until a skewer poked in comes out clean – you'll need to lay a sheet of foil on top after an hour if the cake is browning too much. Cool for 15 mins in the tin, then finish on a wire rack.

Comments, questions and tips
I was somewhat disappointed with this cake. The topping is lovely, and a great idea that would work well on other fruit cakes, particularly apple cake. I followed advice from other commentors, and cooked for 1 3/4 hours at150 degrees in a fan oven, this gave a good consistency, even browning, and it was certainly the length of time it needed. The taste was not so great though, and rather bland, despite having added a tablespoon of chopped fresh ginger. The rhubarb had sunk to the bottom, even though I had cut very thin slices, mixed well and baked immediately. I suppose you could try and counteract this by saving some of the rhubarb and pressing it into the top just before adding the crumble. I also think it needs much more flavour, and could take a large quantity of rhubarb.
Absolutely fantastic and beautiful cake. Turned out perfect! The same recipe can be used for any fruit. I was unsure about the crumble at first as it was very doughy, but it turned out well in the oven and didn't get too brown like with other recipes I've tried.
In regards to the temperature, it was perfect for me but my oven is very hot. I also have a thermometer in there and if it helps anyone, 140 fan read 170 on the thermometer. So if your oven tends to take longer than shorter with recipes, I would recommend 170 or 150 fan.
Absolutely loved this cake. Baked it at 150C instead of 140 and cooking time was pretty much spot on, cake did not go too dark. Moist cake with a slight tang from the rhubarb, crumble topping adds an extra dimension. Will make again...and again...and again...freezes well, too. Forgot....had only about 1,5 tsp of vanilla extract left...used that and added another 1,5 tsp of Liquor 43....yum....
I have not yet made this wonderful sounding cake but not being a lover of rhubarb I'd most likely substitute cherries, cranberries, or posibbly mango, fresh or dried, or dried appricots, dates and rasins, dried fruit soaked in a good sweet red wine, burbon, or an orange liqueur. The rest of the recipe I would follow although some chopped nuts sound good too! I love nuts in my backed goods. ;)

[Adding to my own review]
Further to the fuel-mileage note: Motor Trend did a test where they took four drivers and stuck them in the same vehicle for the same 27-mile test route. In the Elantra GT, MT's drivers got 39.1, 38.0, 36.7, and... 31.3 mpg. That was the most variation of any of the five cars that Motor Trend was testing that time. For comparison, in the Ford Focus SFE the leadfooted driver got 37.7 vs. the 38.6 maximum among the other drivers.
I've seen professional (magazine) reviews complaining that the automatic transmission's "manual" mode doesn't let the engine reach red-line. That complaint makes me scratch my head. Long-stroke engines like the Hyundai 1.8 work best at low RPMs. 3000 is probably about the highest you'd want for normal driving, but in a passing maneuver or emergency acceleration you might push a bit up past the max-torque point of 4700 RPM. But why would you want to get to the 6500 RPM red-line? There's nothing of value up there.
I now have personal experience on the variability of the gas mileage depending on driver and conditions. My wife borrowed my Elantra GT and got about 32 mpg on a highway trip. Maybe 9 mpg less than I get on the highway. Still running on the same tank of gas, the average mpg is coming *up* with me driving it to work.
My wife's trip had five people in the car, so the car was pretty heavy. One of the things that helps the Elantra GT get good mileage is its light weight. Also, my wife is more aggressive with the gas pedal and cruises faster than I do. But then, she's used to driving her Beetle, and that car's turbocharged short-stroke engine prefers being revved up, while the long-stroke Hyundai 1.8 does its best work below 2500 RPM or so.
One more note: I've found a specific performance issue. The auto transmission loves 5th gear too much. Take the car up over 32 mph to get it into 5th, then slow down to 25mph. The tranny is still in 5th. If I then open the accelerator about halfway, there is almost no action because the transmission doesn't downshift — unless I really mash the pedal down. The transmission really should be in 4th from slowing down that far, and then should drop into 3rd when I open the accelerator up. 5th gear is SUCH the wrong choice.
Interesting observation about the auto transmission in your GT.
I also own a '13 GT with the 6sp Auto.
My experience has been that the tranny willingly shifts to a lower gear and is ready to go should I need to hit the gas.
And I really like it that way.
Maybe you're using the fuel saver mode, which keeps it in higher gear more of the time for fuel economy.
Personally, I never use the eco mode.
And I get great mpgs.
Average 35 to 36 driving 80% highway.
I've noticed on long trips, which I tend to drive over the speed limit, I get about 34mpg.
But considering I'm driving at 80 mph or even faster, I don't mind.
If I keep the speeds below 70mph I easily acheave better than the rated highway mileage of 37.
At 65 mph I get average 42mpg or more.
I've had my car 15 months now.
It has 36,000 miles.
Not one problem.
First time Hyundai owner and no regrets.

Honestly, I have no idea how they made a delicious brownie with 6g of protein and no aftertaste, but I'm too busy wrestling my children for the last one to care.
For parents who want to bake, or even introduce baking to their little ones, but don't have the time or ingredients sitting around the kitchen to make homemade baked goods, this is a perfect idea and they're packed with healthy ingredients and no added junk.
They tasted great and the kids liked them so much they asked for the bars to be put them in their lunch the next day.
I simply followed their baking instructions, which required adding honey, butter and water to their mix and then added a tablespoon of the mixture to my mini-muffin pan, to create "mini bites". They smelled so good while they were baking (which is under 15 minutes) and better yet, they looked and tasted homemade.
Mix everything up and about 30 minutes later you have some fantastic treats! I added some frozen blueberries to boost the antioxidant power... my family loved them. They were tOATally delicious.
Rated #1 in blind taste test of 11 leading energy bars.
"Just stir in a couple wet ingredients and bake. We loved the oven-fresh taste."
"... were exceptionally yummy. They beat almost every energy bar I've ever tried, and had a fresh-baked flavor that strikes as a cross between a good scone and a granola bar."
"As my kitchen filled with the aroma of melting chocolate, I began to think smug thoughts about the homebaked-yet-healthy snack I'd serve my kids after school. But did they taste as good as they smelled? Yes! The "homebaked" part made all the difference."
"Warning: Trailblaze Bake-at-Home Energy bars are highly addictive... It turns out that these [bars] are the best-tasting energy food, ever... I'm a fan. And they held up just fine in my jersey pocket over a three-hour ride, so they're trail-ready. Sixteen thumbs up: eight people tried 'em, and we all liked 'em."
"[Each bag] produces a healthy yield of bars that were devoured faster than we made them. The best feature is that since you're the baker, you can add any ingredients you wish."
"This great idea is long overdue.... I tried both mixes. I was surprised how easy it was to have fresh energy bars in 40 minutes.
The bars are tasty.... The price makes this a steal."
"We supply our aide stations with fresh-baked TrailBlaze energy bars and the response from our athletes has been outstanding. This was the first time that there have been no leftover energy bars at one of our races."

They still don't have to give it up yet. Either this year or next year so they still own it for now.
Well I was expecting worse news on Zubrus. Assuming he is out for 2 months he should still be good to go by playoff time.

Right, Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin talks about Entery's track record of sworn statements that the governor claims weren't truthful during a press conference with Attorney General William Sorrel answering a Federal lawsuit by the owners of Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant seeking an injunction against the state which would allow the plant to operate past it's 2012 license. / RYAN MERCER, Free Press

MONTPELIER Vermont Yankee owner Entergy Corp. turned to federal court Monday to try to keep Vermont from shutting down the Vernon nuclear power plant, setting the stage for a final fight with the state regarding the plants future.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Vermont, the company argued the state has no right to stop the plant from operating.
Its been made clear that the governor and many in the General Assembly have concluded that the plant should be shut down. This has left us with no other choice but to seek relief in the court system, Richard Smith, president of Entergy Wholesale Commodities, said in a Monday conference call.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and Attorney General William Sorrell said the state will fight the lawsuit. We have been ready for this, Shumlin said.
Sorrell said three attorneys from his office and Public Service Department lawyers have been preparing for a lawsuit for months.
Entergys lawsuit asks for a temporary injunction against any Vermont efforts to shut down or make preparations to shut down Vermont Yankee while the case is pending. The lawsuit also seeks a ruling permanently prohibiting the state from shuttering the plant. The company is demanding, too, that Vermont pay Entergys attorney fees and costs.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission last month granted the 39-year-old Vermont Yankee plant a 20-year extension of its operating license. The plant has failed to win state permission to keep operating, however, amid concerns involving tritium leaks and misinformation the company supplied to the state related to the leaks.
Previous agreement
In a 2002 agreement with the state when Entergy bought the plant, the company agreed to follow state review for renewed operation of the plant. In its lawsuit, however, Entergy claims a 2006 law that made Vermont the only state where the Legislature has a say in the future of a nuclear power plant changed the ground rules. The law required the Legislatures approval before the Public Service Board could consider granting the plant a certificate of public good.
The 2006 state law took the decision about Vermont Yankees future away from the Public Service Board, a quasi-judicial expert decision-maker, independent of legislative control, Smith said. It instead placed Vermont Yankees fate in the hands of political decision-makers.
The state Senate in 2010, under then-President Pro Tempore Shumlin, voted 26-4 against allowing the Public Service Board to rule.
This is not what we signed up for in 2002, Smith said.
Vermont law is clear, Sorrell countered. They signed agreements to abide by Vermont law.
The 2006 law passed the Legislature easily and was signed by Republican Gov. Jim Douglas without complaint from Entergy. In 2009, Vermont Yankee spokesman Rob Williams told the Burlington Free Press, We did not oppose the Legislatures involvement because we felt then, as we do now, that open discussion on the states long-term energy supply is in everyones best interest.
Michael Dworkin, who was state Public Service Board chairman in 2002 when Entergy bought the plant, said Entergy is reneging on the 2002 agreement.
When Entergy agreed to submit to the boards jurisdiction, it was agreeing to a board that was a creation of the Legislature, he said. Overall, Dworkin called Entergys lawsuit very, very weak.
Federal or state control?
Entergy argues in its lawsuit that a state has no authority regarding the licensing of nuclear power plants, highlighting a 1983 U.S. Supreme Court decision that determined only the federal government has jurisdiction over radiological safety.
Robert Hemley, a lawyer representing Entergy in this court filing, is a First Amendment lawyer who represents several newspapers in Vermont including the Burlington Free Press.
Vermont has asserted that it can shut down a federally licensed and operating nuclear power plant, and that it can regulate the plant based upon Vermonts safety concerns, Entergy stated in a news release Monday. The lawsuit cites instances in which Shumlin has referred to tritium leaks at the plant and other safety issues as reasons for shutting down the plant.
Dworkin said Entergys argument failed to note the decision allows states jurisdiction over energy planning and other aspects of a plant.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has indicated states have a role in decision-making regarding nuclear power plants. NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan would not comment Monday other than providing this statement: Entergys legal challenge is a matter between the company and the state. The NRC has already granted a license extension after a comprehensive and thorough review that took more than five years.
Sorrell said he thinks other states will be watching closely for the outcome of Entergys lawsuit and its impact on a states role. This is a case of potentially national significance, he said.
Sorrell, Shumlin and the three members of the Public Service Board are named as defendants in Entergys lawsuit.
The lawsuit has been assigned to U.S. District Judge J. Garvan Murtha, who presides in federal court in Brattleboro. The 34-page claim asks Murtha to rule on the issues, rather than having a jury decide. Among the other claims Entergy raises is that Vermont should not be allowed to require state legislative or regulatory approval for Vermont Yankee to deliver power to the grid or store spent fuel at the site after March 21, 2012.
The lawsuit also says Vermonts regulation of the plant also represents an improper interference in interstate commerce by requiring Vermont Yankee to provide below-market wholesale electricity rates to Vermont customers.
The lawsuit was hailed by supporters of Vermont Yankee and denounced by opponents.
It has been a failure of leadership and responsibility on the part of the (Shumlin) administration and legislative leaders that this issue has come to this point, said William Driscoll, vice president of Associated Industries of Vermont, which represents manufacturers with an interest in the cost of electricity and contends Vermont Yankees offer to sell Vermonters power for 4.9 cents per kilowatt hour should not be passed up.
By filing this lawsuit, Entergy is reneging on a promise made to the people of Vermont, said James Moore, energy program director with Vermont Public Interest Research Group, which wants the plant shut down.
Vermonts three-member congressional delegation spoke in support of Shumlins position.
Theyre obviously going to mount a propaganda campaign and mount their lawsuit. Theyre will say what they want, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said Monday. But I think the state Legislature did the right thing. Its what the people of Vermont wanted them to do, and I think that its certainly lawful.

When gas goes bad ...
Question: Around Christmas I changed jobs. My Tundra, which had been driven between 150 and 350 miles a day for 250,000 miles has been driven no more than a thousand miles since. Which leads to the question; how long can petrol (gasoline) sit in the tank before it becomes stale, rotten, yucky or whatever happens when it goes bad? And what to do about it, or better, prevent it? Additionally, is there any reason to change from 25,000 mile oil changes?
I use AMSOIL SAE 0W-30 Signature Series 100 percent Synthetic Motor Oil with the Amsoil EA oil filter, both rated for 25,000 mile/one year between changes.
Answer: Gasoline does degrade when stored, due to the effects of heat, light, air and water contamination. Our mandated E-10 and E-15 fuels, containing 10 percent to 15 percent ethanol, absorb water at a much higher rate than straight gasoline. Chevron says gas that's stored in an air-tight environment can last up to one year although there's lots of folks that claim three months is when things start to go sour. Vehicles built during the past two decades have very tight fuel systems in order to minimize hydrocarbon emissions, meaning what's in your Tundra's tank fairs a lot better than the gas in the lawnmower or a red container. Gas that darkens in color or takes on a stale odor really isn't fit for use in modern vehicles.
I store several vehicles in Alaska nine months per year, under fairly harsh conditions, and treat their fuel with STA-BIL prior to departing. I've been a little surprised to have no fuel problems at all when I return each summer. The Suburban pings a little on long grades almost the same on the old gas as it does with a fresh tank! It sounds like even with much less use, you're still refilling with fresh fuel perhaps every couple of months?
Your new driving schedule will likely be tougher on the Tundra's oil, especially if your drives are less than 10 miles in length or involve a lot of idling (Amsoil puts you into the "severe service" category here and reduces maximum miles to 15K — still one year). I'd have no problem with the one year interval and low miles, unless you detect signs of moisture condensation or sludge beneath the oil filler cap.
Q: How does coolant circulate in an engine? I recently had to have an expensive repair done because coolant got into my oil.
A: Engines have many passages throughout the cylinder block, cylinder head, and often the intake manifold, for coolant to circulate. Heat is drawn from critical areas and brought to the radiator for release. Motor oil also circulates through smaller passages to spinning and sliding parts and is stored in the sump, or oil pan. The block, head, manifold, and other parts are joined with gaskets, which are supposed to keep everything separate. Gaskets can fail due to metal distortion (caused by excessive heat), corrosion of the metal surfaces, improper clamping force (broken or improperly tightened bolts), or less than careful installation. In rare cases cracks or warping of the metal housings may require their replacement as well.

Calcium is a mineral needed for bone health, muscle movement, and nerve function. Hypercalcemia is higher than normal levels of calcium in your blood.
High levels can cause several problems throughout the body. Long-term high calcium levels can also lead to kidney stones.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from food or supplements. Once in your body, calcium may be stored in the bones or exist in the blood and cells. Levels of calcium in the blood are normally regulated by hormones from the parathyroid gland. Calcium is excreted through the kidneys.
Hypercalcemia may occur if an illness or medication interferes with this process or destroys bone and other tissue releasing extra calcium into the blood .The most common causes of hypercalcemia are cancer or an overactive parathyroid gland.
Dehydration can also cause temporary hypercalcemia. Decreased fluid in the blood causes an increase in concentration, but not amount of calcium.
Factors that may interfere with hormones and lead to hypercalcemia include:
Factors that may increase the amount of calcium in the body or blood include:
Other factors that may increase your risk of hypercalcemia include:
Symptoms may include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids will be tested. This can be done with:
If hypercalcemia is associated with a parathyroid problem or cancer your doctor may need images with:

Treatment will depend on the cause of hypercalcemia. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
IV fluids may be given to help flush out the excess calcium.
Medication may also be given to control the condition causing the problem or to encourage removal of calcium from the blood. Medication options may include:

Hot Gossip
Has Jessica Simpson 'Fallen Hard' for Billy Corgan?
From the same "Opposites Attract"-humming Cupid who brought you Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood, Madonna and Jesus, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy, and Adam Duritz and everyone, comes Jessica Simpson and ... Billy Corgan?
After a craptacular year that has included a birthday eve dumping by Tony Romo in July, unfair waistline scrutiny, and the vicious coyote-napping of her beloved dog Daisy, the starlet, 29, appears to be (yes, we're having a hard time digesting this one, too) on the upswing with the chrome-domed Smashing Pumpkins front man, 42.
RELATED: See more pics of Jessica Simpson
"She has fallen hard and is smitten," an insider tattles to E! News, before noting that the oddball pair has decided they're "officially dating." (Did they get a notarized certificate or something?)
On Dec. 4, paparazzi captured a smiling Jessica leaving her New York hotel with a low-key, be-hatted Corgan in tow (that's him over there on the far left -- you may need to squint a little).
RELATED: Check out our gallery of unexpected celebrity couples
"She has completely fallen for Billy and his easygoing, smart attitude," a Simpson pal maintains to OK!. "She says she wants to take things a lot further."
Corgan, who has spent quality time with the elegant likes of Courtney Love and Tila Tequila, apparently charmed the former Mrs. Nick Lachey during a party last month in Los Angeles.
"As the night went on, things got more intense and they talked with their faces just inches apart," claims a spy, with another snitch adding, "We do worry that she is on the rebound. But she is a big girl and capable of making her own decisions."
Still, not everyone is convinced about Jessica's judgment, vis-à-vis selecting suitable partners, especially those nearest and dearest to her.
RELATED: Become a fan of Wonderwall on Facebook
"He's just another in an endless string of Jessica's boyfriends," snipes the E! source, seemingly referring to Romo and onetime flame John Mayer. "[Her inner circle thinks] he's too old for her. No one takes any of her boyfriends seriously anymore because she has had so many. They're sick of all of them being 'the one.'"
Simpson, who has been globe-trotting in recent months for her upcoming reality show, "The Price of Beauty," recently detailed what's on her list for Mr. Right.
"I definitely love a spiritual man -- somebody that is going to always inspire me," she told "Extra." "And, you know, I love artistic men -- somebody that really understands their art."
She also likes a "confidant man" with brains, although her recent "flirty" dinner meet-up with Gerard Butler went nowhere.
"I don't want to get bored. I can bore out pretty easily," admitted Jess, "so I love intellectual men, people that will always keep me intrigued."

But what she considers boredom others sometimes view as high-maintenance.
"Jessica is very needy. She is very clingy," a mole told People magazine in September. "She is so sweet, but sometimes because of that she's hard to be around. It's not always easy. She hates to be alone. That's what happened with Tony. Jessica smothers people. She doesn't really have any hobbies."
Not true. She loves Twitter and other people's rambling deep-ish thoughts.
"My friend, Billy Corgan, has a pure and enlightening [sic] outlook on faith," she wrote on Sept. 11. "Go to his new website. God is real."

purpose of these previews is to give you, dear reader, a
reason to go out and see a show. Thinking about the great
Emmylou Harris, we cant think of a reason why you shouldnt
see her in concert this weekand you have two opportunitiesoutside
of suffering from a contagious disease.
doesnt have a new album to promote, or a novel hook for
this tour; shes just performing the classic American music
shes mastered. The concert notes from the Egg press release
refer, correctly, to her crystalline voice, remarkable
gift for phrasing, and . . . restless creative spirit.
Thatll do. Though heres one fun fact: In 2009, Harris
was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences,
alongside (among others) James Earl Jones, Marilyn Horne,
Robert Caro and Thomas Pynchon. Nice company.
The Low Anthem, a well-loved folk rock-roots act from Providence,
R.I., will open both shows. Theyve been wrapping up the
recording of their next album, the follow up to 2008s well-received
Oh My God, Charlie Darwin, so youre likely to hear
a new song or three.
Emmylou Harris will perform tonight (Thursday, Nov. 11)
at 8 PM at the Calvin Theater (19 King St., Northampton,
Mass.); tickets are $45-$55. For more info, call (413) 584-1444.
On Sunday (Nov. 14) at 7:30 PM, Harris will perform at the
Egg (Empire State Plaza, Albany). Tickets are $54.50-$74.50.
For more info, call the Egg box office at 473-1845.

Chamber Ensemble
drop the needle on a record or clop headphones over your
ears, shut the lights, draw the curtains and sink wholly
into the swell of sound? Well, nows your chance to experience
that musical immersion live.
Austrian spectral music composer Georg Friedrich Haas created
his intense 75-minute work In Vein to be preformed
almost entirely in darkness. And so, the internationally
acclaimed 24-piece Argento Chamber Ensemble must perform
the soundscapes from memory, communicating auraly in darkness,
a feat which The New York Times declared, following
the American premiere, made it seem that supernatural forces
were at work.
According to EMPAC, The cycles between light and darkness
are accompanied by dramatic microtonal deviations in the
musical plane, which underscore a desire for perfect harmony,
while understanding the futility of achieving a perfect
harmonic coexistence, both musically and in the world.
We might be able to wrap our brains around that. If we ponder
it in the dark.
The Argento Chamber Ensemble will perform In Vein
at EMPACs Concert Hall (RPI Campus, Troy) tomorrow (Friday,
Nov. 12) at 8 PM. Tickets are $15, $10 for students, seniors
and RPI faculty and staff, $5 for RPI students with ID.
For more info, or to purchase tickets, call 276-3921.

As I travel the state giving presentations about the economy, there's one common trait I find regardless of where I am: People are anxious about the economy.
Although there's been economic improvement since the Great Recession, I sense uneasiness among many people about how long the gains will last. Many believe the economic future is no longer in their hands and it is subject to forces and actions beyond their control.
Shallotte police investigated the following incidents and made the following arrests in the last two weeks. All information is taken directly from incident and arrest reports.

While it may not be clear whether Terry Johnson's resignation from Sunset Beach Town Council after serving two years of a four-year term was expected, it seemed most were taken by surprise when he tendered it on Election Day, Nov. 3.
There's a website I visit from time to time and follow on Facebook called Overheard in the Newsroom. The point of it is to deliver "the best overheard comments and conversations in any newsroom." I find it's always good for a laugh.
Since about a third of my friends are current or former journalists, I stumble across many snippets of conversations on this site that are eerily similar, if no identical, to conversations I've either taken part in or overheard in newsrooms where I've worked going on 25 years now.
Model trains are rolling into their respective stations at two venues this holiday season.

Neighbors had festooned their home in the Oyster Harbour community near Holden Beach with flags, miniature ones marching up the driveway and encircling their mailbox.

Monday, Nov. 9
Judge Pauline Hankins presided over the following cases with prosecutor Ashley Gore and courtroom clerk Kimberly Register:
The Saturday after Thanksgiving is always super in Ocean Isle Beach.
That's the day residents and visitors converge for festivities to kick off the holiday season.
The fun begins with the Super Saturday Christmas parade at 2 p.m. Participants will meet for judging at 1:15 p.m. in the parking lot of the Museum of Coastal Carolina at 21 E. Second St.
Participants gussy up vehicles, golf carts, bicycles and themselves with holiday decor and attire.

Yes, it's still happening.
By Tim Colwill on August 20, 2013 at 9:31 am
Screenwriter Scott Frank has been hired to re-write the still-in-development Assassin's Creed movie, according to an interview posted on Creative Screenwriting.
Frank, who has been nominated for an Academy Award for his work on 1998′s Out of Sight, has also worked on titles such as Marley & Me, The Lookout, Flight of the Phoenix, Minority Report, and most recently The Wolverine.
"I'm rewriting Assassin's Creed right now, and what I love about it is that I've never adapted a video game before and it has its own set of challenges," said Frank. "Especially in the world of rewrites, I love trying to do something completely different if I can."
The last thing we heard about this Assassin's Creed movie was when Ubisoft announced their partnership with New Regency. Michael Fassbender, recently of X-Men: First Class and Prometheus fame, is set to star.

The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus proclaimed: "War is father of all, king of all. Some it makes gods, some it makes men, some it makes slaves, some free."
Little has changed since these words were recorded around 500 BC. The world was always organized in empires. Until the advent of Britain as the first global superpower at the end of the 18th century, localized empires (China, the Roman Empire, Ottoman Turkey, Imperial Russia, Mughals in India) held sway. Britain was the first global empire based on naval power that could strike anywhere on the globe if her commercial or strategic interests were threatened. The power of Britain slowly waned since 1900 and she had to pass the baton of the policeman of the world to the United States of America in 1945, financially exhausted by two world wars she fought to break Germany's power on the European continent.
There is no doubting that USA is, among other things, a global empire. The fact that it has 900 military bases around the world and that its defense spending dwarfs the rest of the world combined testifies to that simple fact. In this pronouncement of mine I explain to you why the conflict in Syria is constantly escalating, and in this Time article (concerning U.S. military spending), a F-22 raptor is featured which is produced by the Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT).
There aren't many companies that can compete for DoD's procurement, and chief among those that can are the Lockheed Martin Corp and General Dynamics (NYSE:GD). This link leads you to the World's top 100 defense contractors, and the ones I like among them, as long term and safe dividend investments, are those premier suppliers to the U.S. armed forces I mentioned above. I mean, there won't be many startups or Chinese companies offering to build the Zumwalt navy destroyers like General Dynamics does.

Warren Buffett on General Dynamics
I have stated my opinion on Lockheed Martin recently in this article, and instead of describing the operations of General Dynamics I will quote this statement that Warren Buffett has made about General Dynamics in 1992:
"We were lucky in our General Dynamics purchase. I had paid little attention to the company until last summer, when it announced it would repurchase about 30% of its shares by way of a Dutch tender. Seeing an arbitrage opportunity, I began buying the stock for Berkshire, expecting to tender our holdings for a small profit. We've made the same sort of commitment perhaps a half- dozen times in the last few years, reaping decent rates of return for the short periods our money has been tied up.
But then I began studying the company and the accomplishments of Bill Anders in the brief time he'd been CEO. And what I saw made my eyes pop: Bill had a clearly articulated and rational strategy; he had been focused and imbued with a sense of urgency in carrying it out; and the results were truly remarkable.
In short order, I dumped my arbitrage thoughts and decided that Berkshire should become a long-term investor with Bill. We were helped in gaining a large position by the fact that a tender greatly swells the volume of trading in a stock. In a one-month period, we were able to purchase 14% of the General Dynamics shares that remained outstanding after the tender was completed."
Warren Buffett currently owns 3,877,122 of GD stock, which is 0.34% of Berkshire's portfolio and 1.1% of the company.
And, yes, Warren Buffett jets around in a luxury Business jet Gulfstream IV SP, he calls "The Indefensible", which is manufactured by General Dynamics.
It is important to understand the political context in which GD and LMT operate, that's why I put in that historical intro. They they produce weapons that defend capitalism and the rule of law and in that they practically have no competitors because of security and political reasons. Their high yield may result from the distaste that the public generally feels in connection with high tech weapon systems.
Bottom line: General Dynamics has fallen 7% and Lockheed Martin has fallen 6.4% since the beginning of this year. I have explained above that the negative earnings and lowered cash flow in 2012 were caused by one off items that do not materially harm these companies and are not expected to recur. I suggest that you accumulate these two stocks if you are looking for high yield, long term investments.
Disclosure: I am long LMT. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

The concept of TerraCycle came up when my friends and I were trying to figure out how to grow "better tomatoes" in our basement and figured out that worm poop did the trick. The fascinating thing for me was that the worm poop itself was made from waste, a commodity that people are willing to pay you to take. Within six months of that serendipitous moment during my fall break (freshman year at Princeton) I left school to corner the market on worm poop. Inc. magazine wrote about us in 2002, giving our business plan a rating of 4 out 10. Little did anyone know that three years later we would be on the cover as The Coolest Little Startup in America.
Since then, our company has grown at Inc. 500 rates, and our products are now available at almost every major retailer in North America (from Wal-Mart to Whole Foods and everything in between). We've been sued by our biggest competitor and survived. We have succeeded in setting up our own factories and making our product in America, in the inner city (Trenton, New Jersey). We've raised more than $10 million without changing our culture.
What started as a company that made worm poop and packaged it in reused soda bottles has led to a paradigm of eco-capitalism that is much bigger than plant food. Today, we are a consumer products company that sells more than 50 products -- including garbage cans made from crushed computers, hand bags made from energy bar wrappers and juice pouches, and the most eco-friendly binders and pencils. All are available in major big-box retailers. If you average out the year, we are launching a national product every two weeks.
Our business plan is based on using stuff that people either don't value or, in many cases, give a negative value to. The result is a brand that has been called the most eco-friendly in America -- all while holding true to three simple brand principles: Better, Greener, and most importantly Cheaper.
Welcome to the Eco-Capitalist.

i see that after ebaumsworld has been "taken over" that i keep seeing featured content that has been uploaded like a few days ago of stuff that was featured way before the "take over"
i was even "advised" to upload stuff that has previously been featured, for a sure fire feature. i won't be doing that, as erep points don't really mean that much to me.
i'm not bitching, crying, moaning or whatever, i just wondered what you lot think of it.
i don't usually write or read blogs, so if anyone has already written a similar blog, i appologise.

If your days change like mine you have to have alternative plans for busier times. Fit in smaller units of exercise times around your other obligations. A 15 brisk minute walk up and down the stairs adds that much time to your daily workout, Do strength training will doing chores or watching your favorite show.
Do calisthenics during the commercial breaks when you are watching TV. The idea is to exercise intensely for the length of the break, as one would do in interval training.
Wall push-ups are a good way to get more upper-body exercise when you may not have time for floor push-ups, or maybe you're not so great at floor push-ups. They benefit chest, shoulders, arms/triceps, and core muscles. Step back just a little (safely) to "lean into the wall" more, and make the push-ups a bit more challenging. If you need to protect a wall from natural oil from your hands, try wearing non-slip or rubber gloves.
I have a notebook in Evernote with a separate note for each restaurant I visit and what the best options are for my diet plan in each. I don't write down the "best options" that I wouldn't like either - just what I'd actually order. With my smart phone, I have that custom reference to keep me on track.
