Born in 1919 to Matt and Ingeborg Wiggum, Margaret Groening grew up in Washington state before marrying her college boyfriend, Homer Groening, and settling in Oregon to raise a family. Matt Groening famously used the names of his parents — as well as two of his sisters, Lisa and Maggie — when creating "The Simpsons." Some of the basics of the animated characters were said to derive from the real Groening family. Two other siblings, Patty and Mark, were left out of the show's central family in favor of Bart (derived from "brat").
While Homer died in 1996, Margaret is survived by her brother, Arnold, as well as four of her five children (eldest daughter Patty died earlier this year), 8 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Her obituary ran in the Monday (May 6) issue of The Oregonian.
Oddly enough, Marge Simpson was apparently not Margaret Groening's favorite character on the hugely successful animated series. That honor goes instead to Kwik-E Mart convenience store's own Apu. "I just love his accent," Groening told The Portland Tribune in 2002.

Thread: Four-Finger Gesture Hack for Older MacBooks
11-15-2008, 06:49 PM #1Four-Finger Gesture Hack for Older MacBooks
If you own an older MacBook and have been wishing your notebook had the four finger gesture features of the new line you may be in luck. Macrumors has supposedly confirmed a hack that enabled four finger gestures on a 1st generation MacBook Air, that will likely work for most all older MacBooks.
All that is required for the hack is for users to install a disc from a new unibody MacBook and then change the registry a bit. It has only been confirmed to work on a January '08 MacBook Air, but avid hackers think it will work just fine with most other pre-October 08 models.
Artstechnica describes how the hacker (michaelb) got this to work:
Basically, he used his girlfriend's new MacBook's software to reinstall Mac OS X on his original Air, but with a hack on the Apple installer that checks against each machine. Once he got the installer to ignore the fact that he was using a different Mac, michaelb installed the OS but couldn't find the four-finger settings in the trackpad System Preferences. Some digging into the kernel extension AppleUSBMultitouch.kext revealed entries related to four-finger gestures, which he copied into all Info.plist entries (just to be safe). A permissions restoration and a reboot later, and the gestures were working.
While this is method is very hack-ish it does highly suggest that Apple could get the four finger gestures feature working on at least early 2008 MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs with just a software update.
I have a unibody MacBook but do not even use the four finger gestures on a regular basis-I guess I am just not used to it it is kind of a cool feature to have though.

so, obviously this chic is the new hire for writing.
great info and all but i would really love to see some submissions from other people like in the ol days.
seems this site has gone the way of all things this era.
I have a MBP early 2008 and ever since I learned about the 4 finger gestures, i learned about this program called multiclutch jIf that link doesn't work, try this: Everytime I Think About You I Multitouch My Cell « Will Henderson The second link definitely works.
You can really customize it to work "globally" and individually in other programs individually ie... word, firefox and safari for example, they're the programs i use the most... maybe transmission and even what ever you run, it's great! But you're only limited to 3 fingers
you set it to global like 3 fingers up for all windows, down for spaces(or clear screen), or left to clear screen instead and it works all the time no matter what you're running.
then for firefox you set forward, backwards and then the "global settings take over. you can also set zoom in/out, reload, what ever there is a commad-key combination to set something to.
Quick thing I learned was that you should ahem donate (click on it once and reopen it)... and click and see what that's about. Then you can enter the commands easily using the right command button. But before you set anything in multiclutch go to spaces or whatever and empty out the key you want to use (for global) and it won't do the actual function. Then go back and reset the command key to F8 for space F9 for all windows/programs, F10 for desktop... F11 for what ever, you get the idea.
This is defintiely something that has made my MBP alot "easier" to use, getting to spaces is just 3 fingers down, all windows is 3 fingers up, clear destsktop (when not in browser) . And when you're in a browser it does the back, fwd, zoom etc... and up/down work like normal, you just lose the 3 finger left or right function while in a browser... which i think is great anyway... Hope this helps some of you get the most of the multi-touch program and your touchpad.. One draw back is you need to leave system preferences loaded all the time so i just added that preference pane to load on startup and stay hidden.

Not at all - we are more than ever involved in the JB community. We post tons of new items to Cydia daily, and post new info as it hits in the JB world. The new firmware story has already been posted days ago. Just because we also hit up other news as well doesn't mean we post any less about iPhone. 95% of our stories are iPhone related.
cash7c3 posts just as many stories as she does... I spend a good solid 10-12 hours a day working on updating the site, posting to Cydia (that alone is 4-6 hours a day), fixing stats, and getting stuff improved for you guys. On top of that I have an 11 week old son. If you'd like to find someone to manage a large site like this for free while cash7c3 and I do all the news posting, and they'll do it all for free, 10 hours a day, then by all means let me know. Otherwise recognize that a HUGE amount of work goes into making ModMyi happen, and we could use all the help we get - like more writers who can help catch the news!

I don't get why people are so negative on these forums. When I first joined this forum everyone was so friendly and there was alot less of these types of comments, I don't like to waste a post on something like this but I have see so much of it lately that I just can't sit by without saying anything.
As PF said he does an insane amount of work on this site along with the other mods and people like jgamble contribute you nothing but negativity. I check this site everytime I sit down at the computer, and I'm not looking for just iphone news, even though that is what first attracted me to this website, since I've been a member here I have also bought a macbook to go with my iphone and I think this kind of news is just as relivant and entertaining to most members here. If you are just going to complain about the stories being "unrelated" or "copied from another source" then just don't post. I enjoy the content of this site because then I don't have to check all the other websites to get the news, mmi compiles just what I am interested in without having to jump from place to place to get the latest updates.
In closing I want to say sorry for this rant, I just felt like PF and the other mods here don't deserve any critisim for bringing such a great website and community to the internet.
(congrats to PF on the child btw)

i dont have a multi touch. i bought my mac back when the intel core 2 duo came out. i only have the two finger scroll thing. will this work for me?
oh trust me ive noticed that you guys still are it the JB community.. i didnt mean it like that. i meant that you guys used to post ALOT about it. new releases, new tweaks, even if they were minor you would post them...but i guess with expansion comes less time for stuff like that. i understand but i wish it was like the good ol days lol. Great job anyways though
can we please stay on topic?
This is great news to hear, I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy this feature but uh.... How the heck do we get it? lol. Some info on hacking ourselves would be nice
i LOVE apple.
It seems that the multi touch feature is a new type of trackpad and not the old usual PC one. I'm not sure... but it just seems so because the software won't work on anyhthing earlier than early 08 on the MBP at least...

Council urges delay in health care 'summary of benefits and coverage' rules
WASHINGTON, DC The American Benefits Council sent a letter to three Obama Administration cabinet secretaries today urging a delay in the applicability of recently issued rules implementing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Final regulations setting forth the requirements for Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) disclosure were issued on February 14, including an extremely short timeline for compliance.
"Contrary to assurances made in earlier regulatory guidance, the final rule fails to provide sufficient time for implementation and also fails to recognize that many employers are still in the early stages of making decisions for the benefits they will provide for 2013," said Council president, James Klein. "It should not fall upon those who must comply with regulations to do so on a shorter timeframe simply because the agencies took longer than prescribed to promulgate the rules."
The letter specifically requests "an immediate communication that the applicability date in the final rule … will be delayed by twelve months. Alternatively, we request that informal guidance be issued immediately establishing a transition rule for the upcoming 2013 plan year under which employers who sponsor health plans will be considered in compliance with the final rule if they provide summary information on the health plan options they provide to employees, but could continue to do so in a different format and manner than would be required under the final rule until the date of the delayed applicability date."
"We believe that disclosure and the communications regarding health benefits are an important component of benefit plan administration and design," Klein said. "However, the stated implementation period for these requirements is unnecessarily abrupt, disruptive and burdensome and should either be delayed by twelve months to minimize these adverse consequences or transition rule for employers should be provided."
Click here for the Council's letter. For more information, or to arrange an interview with Council staff, please contact Jason Hammersla, Council director of communications, at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 202-289-6700 (office) or (202) 422-4652 (cell).
The American Benefits Council is the national trade association for companies concerned about federal legislation and regulations affecting all aspects of the employee benefits system. The Council's members represent the entire spectrum of the private employee benefits community and either sponsor directly or administer retirement and health plans covering more than 100 million Americans.

Off season blues

After my HIM a month ago and a hard century ride last Sunday, I am feeling tired and overtrained, so I've taken the weekend off. Actually I did not swim at all during the week and I skipped my long run and will skip my long ride as well. I feel as if I've gained 10 pounds in the last few days and haven't had the courage to step on the scale to find out the truth.
Today, Trifuel has been quieter than usual on weekends, so I have been reading old discussions and product reviews. I'm also daydreaming about my new bicycle, which I will buy if I get a decent bonus at work, something that seems more difficult every day.
I think I need to find a short term goal, or I will go crazy or alcoholic. (lol) Don't get me wrong: I love training, but I doesn't make any sense to me if it does not involve a countdown to a race. Maybe I should take yoga, do some kind of cross training, maybe Sumo wrestling (the extra pounds will help) or archery for a while.
Yes, at last I get to the point, after a too long post: What the %&$#¡ do you do until you start training for your next season? All your ideas are welcome.
October 26, 2008 at 4:44 am #115755I posted recently about post-im depression, so I think we are in the same boat. Because we are typically Type A, OCD, it is hard not to have a serious focus. But I am trying to just enjoy a random workout, knowing my body needs some downtime if I am to come out next year in good shape mentally and physically..with that said, I am on beer 5 right now…..Enjoy the off-season and see if you (and I) can enjoy the workouts for the simplicity of working out.
October 26, 2008 at 5:25 am #115756I like to use the off-season to enjoy sports and activities I don't get to do in the tri season. Winter sports are great – snowboarding, snowshoeing, X-country skiing (which is awesome for cross-training). Also some fun indoor sports that I love like volleyball and martial arts. I back down my run and bike workouts to a base level, but ramp up my swimming a bit more than I get to in the tri season and do more workouts with the Master's swim group. I also use the "off" season to do a lot of technique work in all three sports.
October 26, 2008 at 10:46 am #115758Last year BBB came up with a run every day for a month thread. It was a great idea. I think doing the same with biking will be a goal of mine for Dec. and Jan. 60 days straight of 15 miles or more.
The off-season is a great time to work on the areas that need improvement. Form goals around improving times or distances.
Sign up for a winter 5K or 10K.
Look for a spring marathon or half marathon and train through the winter for it.
The off-season is also a great time to strenghthen your body for the next tri-season.I have been training consistently since last spring. My marathon is 3 days before Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to indulging in some of those beers.
October 26, 2008 at 10:56 am #115760I always run a marathon right after tri season is over which i did yest. I have decided not to
get the blues this year so i will train for a new years 1/2 and Myrtle beach marathon in feb. I
get that way about my weight if i even take one day off for rest! I also get bitchy if i dont get
that high! So try and find a road race it will keep you sain. Good luck.October 26, 2008 at 2:20 pm #115763I don't know where you live, but if it's in you area, you should check out Bikram yoga. It's SO different from any other class I've been to. The room is heated to around 105 degrees, with about 50% humidity. It's 1.5 hours long, and kicks your butt!! It's a great workout, and really improves flexibility quickly. The first few classes are pretty brutal, but once you get used to the heat, it is awesome! I did it pretty regularly last winter, and some knee issues that I'd been battling for years were resolved, probably due to the constant stretching and strengthening.
October 26, 2008 at 3:36 pm #115765I'm in the same boat. Runner's knee cut my season short two months ago and I haven't been able to run or bike since. The worst part is that the weather has been perfect for about a month and I'm stuck in the pool or weight room. I took the same approach as macker, beer numbs the pain . I know in the end this will be a good thing b/c by the time I'm fully healed I'll have months of anticipation to start my IM training plan off with. My wife is about to kill me though b/c all I do is sit online looking at tri bikes and reading this forum. I've been wanting to get out and play in the local football league or go on hikes but I'm so paranoid about my knee that I usually just sit around wasting the day. Maybe we should start a support group, Triathletes Anonymous.
October 26, 2008 at 7:17 pm #115768Sign me up for TA. I keep having little flare ups and other misc. junk come up. I feel like I need to be doing something to maintain, but have a tendency to do too much too soon.
Somebody have one of those cold beers for me please.October 26, 2008 at 9:42 pm #115777Oh you bunch of sappy souls!! lol!! I am happy with my 15lbs of weight gain from the month off. Gives me something to look forward to burn off. Also, if you are not trying to gain weight DO NOT invest in the Krups Beertender!! But damn it's nice!

This year it is in January. Keeps me going with a goal.

The market professionals have placed average price target of $90.14 on Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:EEFT) stock. This target, which is projected to be hit in 1-year, is totaled mean of analyst calls covered in First Call industry survey. Quarterly earnings is predicted at $1.07 a share and for fiscal it is $4.07.
Technical View
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. technical analysis substantiates that Euronet Worldwide, Inc. 50-day moving average is at $80.28, and it is trading $3.60 points away or +4.49% from its 50-day MA of $80.28. It is trading $7.16 or +9.33% away its 200-day moving average of $76.72. Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:EEFT) 52-week high is $84.81 and the 52-week low is $52.00.
If the stock moves $-0.93, it will upright hit a 52-week high. In episode of +61.31% plunge, a 52-week low is in scope.
Market price discounts all the factors that can impact securities price. It indicates the market price of a stock at any given point accurately shows all available information, so shows the fair value of the stock. This assumption is dependent on the concept the market price continuously reveals the sum total information of all market contributors.
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:EEFT) P/E ratio came in at 30.48. The stock closed at $83.88 in last trading session, so current market cap is $4.37B.
John Templeton says to purchase bargains, meaning, buy equities when they trade at best value. When the index is at a low, shareholders discover the best bargains. More precisely, it indicates when the P/E ratio is low, investors experience strong returns by purchasing equities. Stocks should be sold into when P/E ratios are at higher end of scale. That makes perfect sense, as the stock value and the market rises when the P/E ratio increases. Purchasing when the P/E ratio of market is at a high level raises the peril that investors will witness negative return, while purchasing when the P/E ratio is low considerably increases the probability investors will experience lucrative returns in the succeeding years. Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:EEFT) PEG ratio is at 1.38.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – Head men's basketball coach Mark Schmidt announced Tuesday that guard Sam de Haas will not return to St. Bonaventure for the upcoming season. Schmidt said de Haas informed him that he intends to sign a professional contract with the WCAA Giants Bergen op Zoom in his native Netherlands.
"While it's an unfortunate loss for our program, we respect Sam's decision," Schmidt said. "We thank Sam for his time in a St. Bonaventure uniform, and wish him well as he takes the next step in his basketball career."
de Haas, who appeared in 22 games as a freshman last year, averaged 0.9 points in 5.9 minutes of action for the Bonnies. Prior to his time at St. Bonaventure, the Den Bosch, Netherlands, product served as the captain of the U-18 Dutch National Team and was part of the Dutch team that won the U-20 National Championship.

What I like most about the App Store, is that after having bought a bunch of games, there are nearly always updates waiting for me whenever I open up the store. So I'm all for, the more updates the merrier!
Course, I don't know if this is a part of the new Open Feint, or not, but will you be adding Twitter support for the achievements? I'd love that!
Good luck with the udpates. I'm loving the game still!

It'd only look good. All of us who bought the game and enjoy it already could tell everyone that it "just came out and already got new updates! I love it!" ;]
Great game guys, can't wait for a better looking UI. It's Bluetooth only for now with Wi-Fi being considered for later on.
I suppose it depends how long you guys think it's going to take to get the co-op finished - you have to consider that approval is now two weeks on average. Has everyone taken that into account when voting? Do you really not mind waiting a whole month fo co-op? That said, I'm sure Mountain Sheep will have finished other stuff (even if it's just something little) to include in the co-op update by the time this first update is through ;)
Keep up the good work; already above 30th in the UK App Store and rising rapidly (and deservedly so). Congratulations on a great first day and a great game ^.^Minigore is currently sitting #35 on the US App Store. Unbelieveable! Congrats.
Any chance you'll share with us your first day global sales? Plox?
Anyways, I still vote frequent updates because it's more fun that way. Sure you could wait and roll out one big update later, but I like the bit at a time approach. But what does my opinion matter? You already have my money!- AnonymousJuly 30, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Does it really thake the app store two weeks to release an update?

Game is amazing, keep the updates coming, gotta take these things one step at a time.

this game is wonderful to look at, but dreadfully boring after a bit of time. So much potential I think. Give us obstacles, give us a radar, give us a saving feature.
Those are the basics. Also expand on the world though, I say give the map diversity, make a stream that flows through the map and slows you down when you wade through it, make it so some enemies can't go through the stream, put a hut somewhere on the map where we can buy new guns(if we can spare some time away from the baddies)... really there is so much you can do, and you probably have a lot of ideas...
Just release them as often as you can!!! - AnonymousJuly 30, 2009 at 9:47 PM
i love this game and i think you should have a challange mode where you get waves of furries, for example like wave 1 will be some little furies, and like wave 24 call it like fire frenzy and you get ambusged be fire furries and stuff,
and there should be and item that is a picture of a sidekick, so when you run into it they poof beside you in battle for like 10 seconds, tell me what you think about these ideas, i have some others but this thread is getting a bit long so ask me if you want more! thanx
and you can just call me jezze. - JohnTheDonJuly 30, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Bring 'em out, bring 'em out!
P.S.: Got an idea of a little detail that could be nice. How about a little smoke coming out of the machine gun, when John Gore stops emptying his clip?

You should submit it now and do the co-op in the next update. I would also like to see more guns. And with the new areas coming in the updates, are they going to be separate games or is there going to be a border and you cross it to go into the next zone???
ReplyDelete Bug report?
Using an iPod 1G listening to the in-game music, I double clicked the home button to bring up volume controls. I turned the volume down and then resumed the game, but it started playing my iPod library instead of continuing with the in-game music.
Also, now that it's done that, I had to load the iPod library, then go back in to options to set the soundtrack to play. Bit of a hassle is all.- AnonymousJuly 31, 2009 at 6:27 AM
Please release the update now, I for one am not going to play co-op anyway and I'm sure I'm not alone of that.
I also found a bug in the game, if you restart the game while being a beast the music keep playing instead of the normal music.

Big thank you for the maker's of minigore, its a joy to have on the iPhone and you guys should be proud, damn furballs.
ReplyDelete CO-OP needs!!! GRATE GAME! I not decide to buy because I have Idracula but, I read about the co-op Multiplayer!!! I already download the game!!!! :)
My opinion!
• face expression like when John shooting!
• Element like rock block not passing by.
• Add custom clothes or just change the color of John Clothes :)
• Make John little small because I can see the enemy when they come underneath they appear in black and I can see...
• Add the teaser video in the beginning and work in the menu.
• Add the shooting effect light to John.
• Add something with the girl (in the picture loading) like Third player! I know the bear is the second! :)
• MOre stuff like weapons, recover, item to get more score, bombs, Stages, Bosses (story mode or something) if there a story mode add co-op too! Things that not make this game same like Idracula (Right now nothing special if you have Idracula) and not get boring in time so easy... and challenge people to play! :)
• Combo point score...
Graphic GREAT
Controls GREAT- AnonymousJuly 31, 2009 at 11:47 AM
I love this game but I have a few suggestions.
1. Make the bushes, trees, and rocks solid objects. As of now I can walk through rocks.
2. More terrains and maybe some guns or powerups.
3. Do not drop feint for crystal sdk.
4. Online multiplayer and bluetooth multiplayer.
5. Achievements.
6. Different game modes. Maybe a mode where only the flaming furry's come etc. - AnonymousJuly 31, 2009 at 5:01 PM
can we get names/initials on our highscores? that would be nice. i'd like to know who out of me n my friends are the best on this game
and, PLEASE do not have solid objects in the game (e.g. rocks, bushes)
that'll ruin the whole experience and make the game soo annoying
its fine how it is, dont fix what isnt broken can you PLEASE make the game have bosses and make the new levels a progressive system... idracula was boring for that same reason when you beat a level or got higher score on a level nothing happens you just wash rinse and repeat. Let us defeat bosses to progresse to the many levels you have planned... All the ideas for bosses are in the picture at the top of this website...
Also please make it so that each individual bonus/secret/unlockable character gas their own special power or ability... or else it seriously adds nothing... If you do the zombieville guy he should be able to summon like 3 mini (really mini) zombies to devour the furries as his special ability*** if you think this is a good idea let them know people :-) (if not...oops)- AnonymousJuly 31, 2009 at 7:04 PM

Don't forget all of us original iPhone and itouch users and let us use the enviro bear in single player. Could you also tighten up the shooting analog stick It seems the lack of precision with it is the difference between life and death of John gore.
ReplyDelete oh i forgot... also please create a story... i wanna know John Gore... i wanna know where these furries are from why they are here why Mr. Gore is fighting them.
And i agree with what many other people are saying... Menus are and interface are blah... the game is "cute' and graphics intensive, hell the amount of polish that went into it is unbelievable... but the menus do not give that impression... and ironically thats the first impression we get when the game is turned on... =)- naythanAugust 1, 2009 at 6:05 AM
i really like that special ability idea, i mean, not evryone can turn into a massive manbearpig thing right? each character should be able to do their own thing with the clovers... i also see some overwhelming demand for the zombieville guy :P
ReplyDelete - Javier GSAugust 1, 2009 at 9:53 AM
first of all great game bought it right when it hit the appstore. Recommendation what you should do is like a story mode like for example your in a city and a bunch of furry come out it would be like chaos and with co-op. great idea
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 1, 2009 at 11:03 AM
Definitely need to have each character do something different with the three clovers.
ReplyDelete Ok! After playing this a few days I have found not a glitch but somthing that bothers me alot! I find myself running into fire furries thinking there 4 leave clovers! Can you please change the color of the fire furries flame to lime green flames so they stick out more and so the fire clovers an the fire furries don't look the same? If you could that would be so nice!
Your fan the mental blind person who can't see shit!There are some real gems in all of the ideas and suggestions above and while I can't respond to each of them individually yet, please do keep them coming!
Joel: We are keeping an eye on Crystal and other social platforms, but with the new version OpenFeint is getting really good and it will be hard to beat it. My other dev device is a first gen iPod touch, too, so we are developing wi-fi first, then BT. Both will be supported in the co-op update. :) Thanks for the bug report, I'll check it out.

I thinks this game is, without a doubt, the best game in the App store!
A lot of the suggestions on there are very good. I think if possible, all these suggestions should be provided in the future.
One thing I found is that the appearance of the cloves and shot gun crates are too predictable. What do I mean by that?
1. The first clove shows up right when your score hits 26.
2. The second clove shows up right when your score hits 62.
3. The third clove shows up right when your score hits 152.
4. The first shot gun crate shows up right when your score hits 150.
I don't know whether anyone notice that but that is my observation.
By making these drops more random, it would be more challenging and FUN!
p.s. maybe a drop or two of the health crate once in a while wouldn't hurt either!
That being said, GREAT JOB on this game! (I can't wait for all the future updates and Hardgore!!) - AnonymousAugust 2, 2009 at 8:58 AM
I got an idea
make health creates or make it if u have 1 health gone and u pickup 3 clovers u get full health instead of the manbearpig l. Hmm.. Maybe a post so ideas are posted in one place? Oh well-
-Weapons with different effects
-more landscapes
-more one-liners by egoraptor :)
-cross-promotions (Zombieville, Pocket God)
-new menu
-color change for John Gore
-named high score system
-twitter/facebook connect
-Choice of Character for co-op
And thats off the top of my head. Great game guys.- AnonymousAugust 2, 2009 at 9:36 PM

- more characters (good/bad)
-more maps (like the snow one we saw in the trailer)
- a new mode called Fire Gores. You only have fire furies come at you and the gore is much more intense
-I would like to see new weapons (mines, grenades, RPG, ect.)
- new colors in the clovers so they don't look as close to a fire furie.
- wifi online coop

and for everyone who hasnt seen it. read new features:
Minigore update to include new playable character - Lizzy the Lizard from iPhone game Sway
The second update will add co-op with three charcaters to play as: John Gore's 9 year old daughter, Enviro-bear, and the tagline contest winner, Evan Hsu. Also in the 2nd update there will be achievements, and the inclusion of in-game voting. After the first two updates, a whole bunch more will be included that will be determined by players' votes.
Some of the things that will be included are: More co-op characters from popular games, two new levels: snow and desert, four times as many hilarious lines for John Gore, new furries, new enemy groups: Lumberjacks & Cossacks, new weapon called sheep cannon, and new bosses: wormwolf, king furry, unibrow jones, old man tackle, and master of puppets.
After that Mountain Sheep is considering campaign missions and expanding multiplayer, but ultimately it's up to the voting.

I know there are a ton of comments, so this one will probably go unread, but if you are reading it now... read on!
The sooner for an update, the better! But I have a few suggestions.
1. story mode.
2. new weapons. Rifles that are powerful enough to kill multiple baddies with 1 shot, the FN Minimi that spews bullets faster then any other weapon with low damage, and maybe the RPG(the ultimate monster-killing weapon).
3. I kinda think the minotaur power-up is unrealistic and weird. If you add new weapons, you won't be needing this crazy ability. Instead, why don't you have health ups. You start out with 1 health, and can go up to 3. Level 2 would be a first aid kit, and level 3 would be a bullet proof vest.
Co-op will be the coolest thing about the game. Whether it's bluetooth or global wifi, it's going to make the game x3 as good.
I'm a game designer so it's great to see a great iPhone game come out once-in-a-while! - GREAT GAME BOUGHT IT LOVE IT SOME SUGGESTIONS!August 5, 2009 at 3:41 AM
What would be awesome if this game had character customization, that ONE AWESOME LOOKING dude in the mountain sheep logo with his sheep in the game idk maybe run around and bash furries.. more landscapes day and night situations maybe make it harder like in the ad he has a torch lets go with that.. ha you know.. uhh.. unlockable characters to use each with their own weapons haha like a caveman and he flings rocks haha could be john gores great ancestor.. hmm and maybe a situation where your with someone not co op(not all of us got wifi) but a npc and you have to protect he/she. oh yeah and idk what he turns into but ad that cool looking character as a playable feature(but without the infinite health and GOD kills haha) and just make it if you play as him and collect the green item on fire then he goes into berserk mode like what would happen if you were john gore turning into him.. haha oh maybe new game modes like man the fort your at a post and you defend it if it takes damage well idk but if it gets destroyed game over.. and no i don't mean like a tower defense way but really theres a fort of some kind idk.. i noticed a grave maybe some dudes digging there haha and you gotta defend him or the site by running back and forth killing as much furries you can..

Also, I think they are going to add an "Insane mode" so don't worry about it. :D
Oh and yeah, this game is awesome! I think everyone here wants more weapon options... so let's have some.
I also think you should be able to have more health and be able to select a diffuculty level, so you don't have to wait for enemies, you can just jump in and start hosing them with your machine gun(and shotgun, rifle, minigun, chainsaw, whatever you come up with, etc...)

ReplyDelete Oh no! Minigore is sinking! You were 6th in the USA, beating Pocket God and a close second to Doodle Jump! The one mistake you guys let slip through was not talking about updates in the app description. You need to do that *NOW*, it'll keep uninformed reviewers off your back and generate hype. Unfortunately, the idiots contained within the top 25 list do not know that this isn't the complete minigore experience, so while minigore will only be a 3.5 - 4.5 app for a short time, the ratings are going to stay that way since everyone doesn't expect updates.
As for suggestions, here goes:
1: A small tweak would to have Feint automatically login upon launching the game. That way we won't have to do it manually.
2: A map editor, a good one. I cannot stress enough how awesome user-generated content is.
3: A hardcore mode, which is like normal mode except no items and only a pistol.
5: In-app purcheses, probably containing one character and a few maps each. Also, some expantion packs which are basically extensions of the story.
6: Some sort of defense game mode, like John is in a house and Furries are coming from all directions. No zombies, furries are enough like zombies already.
7: A lite version. Have it give the player a good look at what minigore is, but not too generous. Otherwise people would just get the lite version, instead of buying the full game.
To end this seminar, I would like to say that in
my view, minigore needs not to become just any app, but THE app. THE app that stands out from the rest. Minigore is to great of a game to be ignored, and the App store is too great of a marketplace to be cluttered with the crap that seems to pile higher and higher everyday. The app store is supposed to be a place where both indie and professional developers can unveil their latest masterpieces, focusing on development while Apple handles te distracting and frustrating parts. Minigore needs to be the app that smacks some sence sense into the app store, especially low-effort, profit-based companies such as Freeverse, who stated themselves that "[they] just dont care what the customer thinks". I'm not one to cause a disturbance, or to start a revolution, but I think it's time that someone showed the world what a real, quality prodiluct looks like, and I belive that Mountain Sheep are the perfect guys for the job.- AnonymousAugust 8, 2009 at 2:18 AM

With a game like this it would kill them to give a light version cause it has a simple concept to the gamelplay so if people got the light they would be satisfied with running around and killing furries just to pass time.

ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 8, 2009 at 9:42 PM
- I have cracked the code of the sequence with which the furries attack. If you walk backwards in a circle and keep firing you can last almost forever (sometimes being taken down by the infamous fire furry); I'm not so savvy but can you introduce increased randomization regarding the direction from which they attack?
- More lives would be nice. Extends game play when you already have an army to fight back, no sending you back to square one when it's just getting good.
- Give the beast a belt buckle to match the banjo?
- Change the shape & size of the allowable movement area to increase difficulty.
- Add furries/baddies which take more than one hit but remain in their class (small medium large, fire), forcing you to focus on them first.
- I LOOOOOVE the shotgun. The sound is just great. More of that. Missles, shelling, some kind of suit for Tom to wear, masks, night vision... special ops weapons
- Nighttime missions
- Gauntlet running
Music really is brilliant. Bravo, sound effects perfect (crunch cruch on the ground, etc.)
Keep it up. Charge for updates if you have to, do what it takes to make it great. This has a lot going for it. Voiceovers sold me from the start..."Oh wait, I don't have any legs." - AnonymousAugust 8, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Some others:
- Store, coins, etc.
- Tons of additional voiceovers. I gotta say, those are absolutely a huge selling point.
- Like the freezing shots idea; snow blower backpack idea
- Frog mode? Would it be difficult to program in the additional Z plane required to allow John to jump over furries?
- Since he's Irish, how about bagpipes of doom, a kilt, or some patrioic music of some kind?
- A way to convert furries to friends and send them back out to fight for YOU (Charm?)
- Shells coming off gun
- Vehicles for John
I'm sure you'll introduce the other characters but I second the "I want to know John Gore, and why he is being attacked by furries" of above. Back story is good. Make sure to include some sort of meteor in the story though.
- Weather patterns? Hurricances/tornados which can be conjured up somehow?
- John on a boat? In a swamp? Pirates of the Gore-abbiean? - AnonymousAugust 8, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Pocket Gods is not a bad game because it's not a game. It's a simulator. Anyways a cross promotion with pocketgod would be good becauseit would introduce minigore to about 2million more people and make minigore more more popular. Even if you hate pocket god, you gotta admit that you want minigore to be successful and pocketgod could help.

****you need to explain future updates in the app descripion (or say that new updates will be coming) so that people who dont go to this site will not think that you only included 1 map*****

no actually they submitted it when they said they did, its just apples fault for not releasing the update yet, they probably havent gone through it yet, with it supposedly being a violent game! @Wai Lock:
It is actually Apple's fault, Apple scours every app for any possible way it could cost money from Apple if, say, Apple got sued from an app not stating NSFW content. It takes a very long time before it finally shows up in the app store. That's the difference between "submitted" and "available".

The Dodgers traded Chin-Lung Hu to the New York Mets for minor league left-handed pitcher Mike Antonini.
This borders on not newsworthy, but since so little has happened with the Dodgers in the last couple of weeks, why the hell not make a post?
Like the Dodgers did with Ryan Theriot, they were lucky to get anything for a guy who would soon have been claimed off waivers by another team as Hu was out of options. It would have taken some sort of miracle for him to start the season on the Dodgers' bench.
Hu, 26, was once the Dodgers' No. 3 prospect after his breakout 2007 season. Since then, he has failed to come close to those numbers, even while playing in the rarefied air of the Pacific Coast League. His glove is still top-notch, which is why he'll bounce around from team-to-team for the rest of his career. Slick-fielding shortstops aren't as easy to find as they once were -- but they aren't exactly a commodity, either.
He could start the season on the Mets' bench as Jose Reyes' primary backup at shortstop.
Antonini, 24, is nothing but organizational depth. He's spent four seasons in the minors and made it as far as Triple-A. He should begin at Albuquerque. He's left-handed, so there's always the chance he could make the majors in the future.
His numbers are less-than impressive, posting a 4.04 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 7.0 K/9. On the surface, those aren't terrible numbers, but he did most of the good stuff while in the lower levels of the minors.
The best part is, Antonini and I share a birthday, so he's got that going for him.
Here's hoping there are a couple more moves in the Dodgers' future.

JACKSON – More than $280 million in federal stimulus funds will be used during the current fiscal year to plug budget holes in funding for public education and, in some cases, to enhance programs such as special education.
For starters, the Mississippi Adequate Education Program will get $152 million in stimulus funds to offset a dramatic drop in state revenue collections.
The program provides the basics of operating local school districts, such as paying for teachers and transportation.
Without the stimulus funds, officials have said cuts in K-12 education would have been required, most likely resulting in teacher layoffs.
While the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, commonly called the stimulus package, already is helping to pay for education basics, state Department of Education officials say additional funds could be available for Mississippi.
These funds are designed not to pay for the basics, but for innovative programs that are intended to improve learning opportunities.
Many funds will be available to Mississippi schools in the form of competitive grants. The biggest is the Race to the Top program, which has $4.35 billion to award to states in the form of competitive grants for innovative learning programs.

text: From: Neil Brown <firstname.lastname@example.com>Document describing the problem and proposed solutionSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <email@example.com>--- Documentation/network-swap.txt | 270 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 270 insertions(+)Index: linux-2.6/Documentation/network-swap.txt===================================================================--- /dev/null+++ linux-2.6/Documentation/network-swap.txt@@ -0,0 +1,270 @@++Problem:+ When Linux needs to allocate memory it may find that there is+ insufficient free memory so it needs to reclaim space that is in+ use but not needed at the moment. There are several options:++ 1/ Shrink a kernel cache such as the inode or dentry cache. This+ is fairly easy but provides limited returns.+ 2/ Discard 'clean' pages from the page cache. This is easy, and+ works well as long as there are clean pages in the page cache.+ Similarly clean 'anonymous' pages can be discarded - if there+ are any.+ 3/ Write out some dirty page-cache pages so that they become clean.+ The VM limits the number of dirty page-cache pages to e.g. 40%+ of available memory so that (among other reasons) a "sync" will+ not take excessively long. So there should never be excessive+ amounts of dirty pagecache.+ Writing out dirty page-cache pages involves work by the+ filesystem which may need to allocate memory itself. To avoid+ deadlock, filesystems use GFP_NOFS when allocating memory on the+ write-out path. When this is used, cleaning dirty page-cache+ pages is not an option so if the filesystem finds that memory+ is tight, another option must be found.+ 4/ Write out dirty anonymous pages to the "Swap" partition/file.+ This is the most interesting for a couple of reasons.+ a/ Unlike dirty page-cache pages, there is no need to write anon+ pages out unless we are actually short of memory. Thus they+ tend to be left to last.+ b/ Anon pages tend to be updated randomly and unpredictably, and+ flushing them out of memory can have a very significant+ performance impact on the process using them. This contrasts+ with page-cache pages which are often written sequentially+ and often treated as "write-once, read-many".+ So anon pages tend to be left until last to be cleaned, and may+ be the only cleanable pages while there are still some dirty+ page-cache pages (which are waiting on a GFP_NOFS allocation).++[I don't find the above wholly satisfying. There seems to be too much+ hand-waving. If someone can provide better text explaining why+ swapout is a special case, that would be great.]++So we need to be able to write to the swap file/partition without+needing to allocate any memory ... or only a small well controlled+amount.++The VM reserves a small amount of memory that can only be allocated+for use as part of the swap-out procedure. It is only available to+processes with the PF_MEMALLOC flag set, which is typically just the+memory cleaner.++Traditionally swap-out is performed directly to block devices (swap+files on block-device filesystems are supported by examining the+mapping from file offset to device offset in advance, and then using+the device offsets to write directly to the device). Block devices+are (required to be) written to pre-allocate any memory that might be+needed during write-out, and to block when the pre-allocated memory is+exhausted and no other memory is available. They can be sure not to+block forever as the pre-allocated memory will be returned as soon as+the data it is being used for has been written out. The primary+mechanism for pre-allocating memory is called "mempools".++This approach does not work for writing anonymous pages+(i.e. swapping) over a network, using e.g NFS or NBD or iSCSI.+++The main reason that it does not work is that when data from an anon+page is written to the network, we must wait for a reply to confirm+the data is safe. Receiving that reply will consume memory and,+significantly, we need to allocate memory to an incoming packet before+we can tell if it is the reply we are waiting for or not.++The secondary reason is that the network code is not written to use+mempools and in most cases does not need to use them. Changing all+allocations in the networking layer to use mempools would be quite+intrusive, and would waste memory, and probably cause a slow-down in+the common case of not swapping over the network.++These problems are addressed by enhancing the system of memory+reserves used by PF_MEMALLOC and requiring any in-kernel networking+client that is used for swap-out to indicate which sockets are used+for swapout so they can be handled specially in low memory situations.++There are several major parts to this enhancement:++1/ page->reserve, GFP_MEMALLOC++ To handle low memory conditions we need to know when those+ conditions exist. Having a global "low on memory" flag seems easy,+ but its implementation is problematic. Instead we make it possible+ to tell if a recent memory allocation required use of the emergency+ memory pool.+ For pages returned by alloc_page, the new page->reserve flag+ can be tested. If this is set, then a low memory condition was+ current when the page was allocated, so the memory should be used+ carefully. (Because low memory conditions are transient, this+ state is kept in an overloaded member instead of in page flags, which+ would suggest a more permanent state.)++ For memory allocated using slab/slub: If a page that is added to a+ kmem_cache is found to have page->reserve set, then a s->reserve+ flag is set for the whole kmem_cache. Further allocations will only+ be returned from that page (or any other page in the cache) if they+ are emergency allocation (i.e. PF_MEMALLOC or GFP_MEMALLOC is set).+ Non-emergency allocations will block in alloc_page until a+ non-reserve page is available. Once a non-reserve page has been+ added to the cache, the s->reserve flag on the cache is removed.++ Because slab objects have no individual state its hard to pass+ reserve state along, the current code relies on a regular alloc+ failing. There are various allocation wrappers help here.++ This allows us to+ a/ request use of the emergency pool when allocating memory+ (GFP_MEMALLOC), and+ b/ to find out if the emergency pool was used.++2/ SK_MEMALLOC, sk_buff->emergency.++ When memory from the reserve is used to store incoming network+ packets, the memory must be freed (and the packet dropped) as soon+ as we find out that the packet is not for a socket that is used for+ swap-out.+ To achieve this we have an ->emergency flag for skbs, and an+ SK_MEMALLOC flag for sockets.+ When memory is allocated for an skb, it is allocated with+ GFP_MEMALLOC (if we are currently swapping over the network at+ all). If a subsequent test shows that the emergency pool was used,+ ->emergency is set.+ When the skb is finally attached to its destination socket, the+ SK_MEMALLOC flag on the socket is tested. If the skb has+ ->emergency set, but the socket does not have SK_MEMALLOC set, then+ the skb is immediately freed and the packet is dropped.+ This ensures that reserve memory is never queued on a socket that is+ not used for swapout.++ Similarly, if an skb is ever queued for delivery to user-space for+ example by netfilter, the ->emergency flag is tested and the skb is+ released if ->emergency is set. (so obviously the storage route may+ not pass through a userspace helper, otherwise the packets will never+ arrive and we'll deadlock)++ This ensures that memory from the emergency reserve can be used to+ allow swapout to proceed, but will not get caught up in any other+ network queue.+++3/ pages_emergency++ The above would be sufficient if the total memory below the lowest+ memory watermark (i.e the size of the emergency reserve) were known+ to be enough to hold all transient allocations needed for writeout.+ I'm a little blurry on how big the current emergency pool is, but it+ isn't big and certainly hasn't been sized to allow network traffic+ to consume any.++ We could simply make the size of the reserve bigger. However in the+ common case that we are not swapping over the network, that would be+ a waste of memory.++ So a new "watermark" is defined: pages_emergency. This is+ effectively added to the current low water marks, so that pages from+ this emergency pool can only be allocated if one of PF_MEMALLOC or+ GFP_MEMALLOC are set.++ pages_emergency can be changed dynamically based on need. When+ swapout over the network is required, pages_emergency is increased+ to cover the maximum expected load. When network swapout is+ disabled, pages_emergency is decreased.++ To determine how much to increase it by, we introduce reservation+ groups....++3a/ reservation groups++ The memory used transiently for swapout can be in a number of+ different places. e.g. the network route cache, the network+ fragment cache, in transit between network card and socket, or (in+ the case of NFS) in sunrpc data structures awaiting a reply.+ We need to ensure each of these is limited in the amount of memory+ they use, and that the maximum is included in the reserve.++ The memory required by the network layer only needs to be reserved+ once, even if there are multiple swapout paths using the network+ (e.g. NFS and NDB and iSCSI, though using all three for swapout at+ the same time would be unusual).++ So we create a tree of reservation groups. The network might+ register a collection of reservations, but not mark them as being in+ use. NFS and sunrpc might similarly register a collection of+ reservations, and attach it to the network reservations as it+ depends on them.+ When swapout over NFS is requested, the NFS/sunrpc reservations are+ activated which implicitly activates the network reservations.++ The total new reservation is added to pages_emergency.++ Provided each memory usage stays beneath the registered limit (at+ least when allocating memory from reserves), the system will never+ run out of emergency memory, and swapout will not deadlock.++ It is worth noting here that it is not critical that each usage+ stays beneath the limit 100% of the time. Occasional excess is+ acceptable provided that the memory will be freed again within a+ short amount of time that does *not* require waiting for any event+ that itself might require memory.+ This is because, at all stages of transmit and receive, it is+ acceptable to discard all transient memory associated with a+ particular writeout and try again later. On transmit, the page can+ be re-queued for later transmission. On receive, the packet can be+ dropped assuming that the peer will resend after a timeout.++ Thus allocations that are truly transient and will be freed without+ blocking do not strictly need to be reserved for. Doing so might+ still be a good idea to ensure forward progress doesn't take too+ long.++4/ low-mem accounting++ Most places that might hold on to emergency memory (e.g. route+ cache, fragment cache etc) already place a limit on the amount of+ memory that they can use. This limit can simply be reserved using+ the above mechanism and no more needs to be done.++ However some memory usage might not be accounted with sufficient+ firmness to allow an appropriate emergency reservation. The+ in-flight skbs for incoming packets is on such example.++ To support this, a low-overhead mechanism for accounting memory+ usage against the reserves is provided. This mechanism uses the+ same data structure that is used to store the emergency memory+ reservations through the addition of a 'usage' field.++ Before we attempt allocation from the memory reserves, we much check+ if the resulting 'usage' is below the reservation. If so, we increase+ the usage and attempt the allocation (which should succeed). If+ the projected 'usage' exceeds the reservation we'll either fail the+ allocation, or wait for 'usage' to decrease enough so that it would+ succeed, depending on __GFP_WAIT.++ When memory that was allocated for that purpose is freed, the+ 'usage' field is checked again. If it is non-zero, then the size of+ the freed memory is subtracted from the usage, making sure the usage+ never becomes less than zero.++ This provides adequate accounting with minimal overheads when not in+ a low memory condition. When a low memory condition is encountered+ it does add the cost of a spin lock necessary to serialise updates+ to 'usage'.++++5/ swapon/swapoff/swap_out/swap_in++ So that a filesystem (e.g. NFS) can know when to set SK_MEMALLOC on+ any network socket that it uses, and can know when to account+ reserve memory carefully, new address_space_operations are+ available.+ "swapon" requests that an address space (i.e a file) be make ready+ for swapout. swap_out and swap_in request the actual IO. They+ together must ensure that each swap_out request can succeed without+ allocating more emergency memory that was reserved by swapon. swapoff+ is used to reverse the state changes caused by swapon when we disable+ the swap file.+++Thanks for reading this far. I hope it made sense :-)++Neil Brown (with updates from Peter Zijlstra)++--

Varicose veins09/25/2003 |
Would a third trement for varicose veins be dangerous? I have had one trmt at age 24 and another at age 30. They have unfortunately returned. I am afraid I will run out of veins.
What would be the reason to proceed with another varicose vein treatment after already having had two? Unless you are still having significant pain and swelling at the end of the day after standing at work all day, you will be hard pressed to find an insurance which will cover the procedure for a third time. If it is purely for cosmetic reasons, you may want to consider seeking consultation about sclerotherapy from a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who will inject the small spider veins. Repeated treatment of varicose veins is not inherently dangerous, but you will continue to develop scars from treatment. I would recommend sitting down with your primary care doctor and really discussing matters if this is something necessary for you, particularly when there is a likely chance of recurrence as you grow older.

Oct 19, 2011I first played this game at Gamescon and really appreciated it. Sideway is a new genre of 2D platformer.
I bought it recently and went through the game in about 4 to 6 hours. Worth the 10 bucks I spent on. -
Oct 19, 2011Awesome game! Moving around in the levels is absolutely mesmerizing. I'm about half-way through, but once I finish I'm sure I'm gonna be retracing all the levels to collect everything (yes, I'm a trophy-whore :) )
Oct 20, 2011
Oct 19, 2011This lackluster 2d platformer makes you strain your eyes into the buildings perspective. An Urban street style, but nothing I haven't done before. Save your money for Mario Galaxy 2 or Paper Mario instead.
Oct 20, 2011
Oct 27, 2011Definitely worth your money. The camera shifting while wrapping around buildings is awesome, worth the price of admission alone. I'm a huge fan of retro platformers, and Sideway's definitely got that vibe, with shades of metroidvania and zelda sprinkled in there. I loved powering up and revisiting levels to find every little nook and cranny.
Official PlayStation Magazine BeneluxDec 29, 2011Anyone remember Marc Ecko's Getting Up or the ridiculous dance game B-Boy? Sideway: New York shares the same urban lifestyle-roots, and combines it with fairly original platforming action. [Nov 2011, p.98]
Dec 5, 2011It's not a horrible game by any means, but it's certainly not a fully realized idea based on what's been shown in this first of three titles.
Playstation Official Magazine UKDec 3, 2011Controls are awkwardly mapped and the music is unbearably repetitive, but exploration is rewarded and the mechanic is neat enough to keep you playing. [Christmas 2011, p.104]

Crash railmen spoke different languages
By the BBC's Oana Lungescu in Brussels
A train crash in Belgium on Tuesday might have been averted if a Flemish-speaking signalman had not misunderstood a warning from a French-speaking colleague. Eight people, including the two drivers, died and 12 were injured in what was Belgium's worst railway crash in a quarter of a century. A recording of the signalmen's conversation, released by the Belgian national railway company, is part of the evidence being examined by an official inquiry into the causes of the disaster. One Belgian newspaper summed up the disaster: "Eight dead because of 30 seconds of misunderstanding". According to rail officials, the cause of the accident is clear.
But the audio recording shows that, minutes before, a clearly agitated French-speaking signalman rang his Flemish-speaking colleague at the next station, asking him to stop the passenger train. The second signalman is then heard saying: "I don't understand you, can't you speak Flemish?" The French-speaker says "Wait", and later appears to hang up. New cash Mindful that Belgian linguistic disputes often turn into political rows, railway officials say that, by releasing the tape, they wanted to rebut press allegations that it was the Flemish-speaker who had terminated the call. Both French and Flemish - which is similar to Dutch - are official languages in Belgium and the signalmen were not obliged to speak both. But officials admit that, if the two had been able to communicate, the accident might have been avoided.
The Belgian Government has now announced a $14bn investment plan. Some of the money will be used to equip trains with radios and a protection system designed to prevent trains going through red signals. A spokeswoman for the railway told the BBC that they would not draw any immediate conclusions about linguistic training for signalmen. |

A well developed PM program addresses individual and organizational performance matters necessary to properly create and sustain a healthy and effective results-oriented culture. Public agencies have a greater challenge to define and measure results than private sector organizations, whose results are almost exclusively tied to financial goals. Public agencies are also required to comply with complex regulations that govern their performance management programs.

NEW YORK - The New York State Thruway Authority awarded a $3.142 billion contract Monday afternoon to design and build the new Tappan Zee Bridge.
The successful consortorium, one of three that bid on the project, is Tappan Zee Constructors and includes Fluor Enterprises Inc., American Bridge Company, Granite Construction Northeast Inc. and Traylor Bros. Inc.
The consortorium's proposal was the unanimous choice of the 11-person selection committee that was appointed to review the bids for "best value" after the proposals had been vetted for conforming to specifications. Best value is the deciding criterion for selecting a design-build contract, rather than low bid, although, Tappan Zee Constructors' price also happened to be almost $1 billion lower than those of its two competitors.
The contract now has to be reviewed by the state comptroller's and attorney general's offices. Barring any complications, work could start early next year.

SUPPRESION OF BONE MARROW Oct 23, 2008 HELLO DR FRANSCINO, I AM CURRENTLY TAKING COMBIVIR AND SUSTIVA. HAVE BEEN SINCE NOV 2007 WHEN I WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED. MY QUESTION IS THAT DOES THE MED COMBIVIR HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY WBC AND RBC BEING LOW. MY DR INSISTS ON DOING ANOTHER BONE MARROW ON ME AFTER THE FIRST RESULT CAME BACK NEGATIVE OF ANY OTHER ABNORMALITIES. I TOLD HIM THAT I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT THE COMBIVIR WHICH HAS THE AZT IN IT IS THE CAUSE OF THE LOW COUNTS THAT I KEEP HAVING. I AM CONSTANTLY STICKING MYSELF WITH NEUPOGEN TO KEEP MY WBC'S UP. I AM REALLY TIRED OF THAT. I READ UP ON SOME OTHER MEDS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO COMBIVIR AND SUSTIVA WHICH IS THE ONE A DAY REGIMEN ATRIPLA. DO YOU THINK THAT THIS PARTICULAR MED WOULD MAYBE REDUCE MY CHANCES OF BONE MARROW SUPRESSON? THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT I HAVE IS THAT I ASKED MY DR IF HE COULD SWITCH MY MED TO ATRIPLA AND HE DID BUT, THE PHARMACY WHERE I GET MY MEDS FROM WHICH IS WHERE I WORK IN A LOCAL HOSP WHERE I LIVE DOSEN'T COVER IT. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY ONLY COVER THE COMBIVIR AND SUSTIVA. CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS OF WHERE I CAN GET SOME ASSISTANCE FROM MAYBE THROUGH THE STATE? I DO RESIDE IN THE STATE OF NJ. THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE THAT YOU CAN GIVE ME. |
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello, Your story points out just how absurd our current health care system really is! First off, yes, it is possible the AZT component of your Combivir could be suppressing your bone marrow. Any HIV specialist should be well aware of that. That an insurance plan would cover bone marrow biopsies and neupogen, but balk at covering Atripla boggles the mind. Your HIV specialist should be able to help you with this problem. He could contact the insurance company and explain why a medication switch is being recommended. If your HIV specialist (who should have had you off AZT long ago in my opinion) is unable or unwilling to help, I'd suggest you consider getting a second opinion from a more competent and compassionate HIV specialist. To find a certified HIV specialist in your area, check the American Academy of HIV Medicine's Web site at www.aahivm.org. They have a roster of HIV physician specialists listed by locale. Good luck!
