Medicare ACOs Add 106
Providers across the nation launched 106 new Medicare Accountable Care Organizations on January 1 in the latest ramp-up of the coordinated care program. Since the program's inception in late 2011, more than 250 ACOs have been formed in almost every state, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services officials said Thursday.
"By CMS's estimate these total organizations are serving more than 4 million Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. That represents more than 10% of the overall fee-for-service program," Jonathan Blum, CMS acting principal deputy administrator and director of the Center for Medicare, told reporters in an afternoon teleconference.
"Beyond the growth we are pleased by the diversity—both geographic diversity and organizational diversity. Forty-nine states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico now have one or more ACOs operating within that area. But also the organizations that are participating are large and small, physician-led and physicians partnering with hospitals," Blum said.
The formation of Cedars-Sinai Accountable Care, which is the new ACO for Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, is a means of preparing for implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, says Thomas Gordon, CEO of Cedars-Sinai Medical Delivery Network, an umbrella group of physicians' organizations associated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
"When you look at healthcare reform, and the need to improve patient care and reduce the cost of care, this program was a way to do that," says Gordon, who will head up the ACO. "All the doctors and executives thought this was the right approach."

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
But after hearing his name in the final selection, Faletau was not only on the lookout for his Welsh teammates but also Saracens front row Vunipola.
"We were just finishing training at Newport HSOB and Tom Brown was listening to it on the radio," Faletau told WalesOnline.
"I was chuffed when they said my name. It is an unbelievable feeling that has not sunk in. It is great to be in the same squad as my cousin and I was cheering more when I heard his name."
Rugby obviously runs in the family, with Faletau taking up the sporting mantle from father Kuli who played for Ebbw Vale, Pontypool and Tommawr.
But the older Faletau was calm in his praise, with the 26-cap Wales star adding: "I phoned my Dad to tell him afterwards but he does not say much. He said 'well done and I will see you when you get home'."
Faletau isn't the only Newport Gwent Dragons star in the Lions squad, however, where he is joined by flanker Dan Lydiate.
And Faletau is tipping the flanker to make an impact after battling back from a broken ankle that caused him to miss the RBS 6 Nations.
"Dan has had a few games under his belt and it is great he has been included in the Lions squad after battling back from injuries," said Faletau. "He showed what he could do last season and is probably the best around at what he does."

With these frames you cover the collection of summer's Fake Oakley Sunglasses trends for sunglasses.You must have heard that 'history repeats itself', well something similar goes for fashion as well, and the same kind of fashion trend and style comes after few eras. As, you all see anarkali suits, polka dots and puffed hair style, were the popular trend in 1970. The 70's era was famous for 'Retro' look, now the biggest trend we will notice this is the same retro look.

Miami Dolphins: The case for Ahmad Bradshaw
Besides adding a veteran quarterback to compete with Chad Henne, signing a starting caliber running back is the next virtual lock for the Dolphins this offseason. We may obviously be talking about something that won't materialize itself until September or October with the way the lockout is playing out, but rest assured, rookie Daniel Thomas will have a capable compliment to share the workload with whenever the Dolphins take the field.
Who that compliment will be is where the debate begins. Most fans and even the Miami media agree on which back is at the top of their wish list. That back is former Carolina Panther DeAngelo Williams. I agree with the notion that Williams should be the Dolphins' number one priority at the running back position when the lockout is finally over. He's easily a top five back when healthy, and he's the electrifying runner this offense is craving.
But there's no guarantee the price will be right. I don't think the Dolphins should make Williams the highest paid running back in the league by any means, considering he's already 28. That may sound young to most fans, but 30 is nearly the new 40 in running back years. Backs usually hit a steep decline when they turn 30 or soon after.
Even if the price is right for Jeff Ireland, DeAngelo could always return to Carolina where he could be optimistic about the addition of Cam Newton, as he's went on record saying how teams address their quarterback situation will be a huge factor in his decision.
Where would the Dolphins then turn? Like we speculated on Tuesday, they could always welcome back Ronnie Brown. But being that Ronnie is on the verge of turning 30 in December, has a long history of injuries, and is an identical runner to Daniel Thomas in many aspects, there surely has to be better options on the market.
Another back that could be on the Dolphins' radar is Darren Sproles. Don't get me wrong, I love Sproles as a versatile third-down back and special-teams ace, but he wouldn't provide Miami with a great one-two punch. His career high in rushing yards in a season is only 343.
He has been right around 500 yards receiving the past two seasons, though, which would make him a perfect fit as a third-down back if the Dolphins were to sign an early-down compliment to Thomas or bring back Ronnie. But with Thomas being fairly unproven, I just feel that the Dolphins would be better suited to acquire someone that is capable of carrying the rock 15-20 times a game.
Enter my plan B for the Dolphins if signing DeAngelo Williams isn't in the cards, Ahmad Bradshaw. The Giants reportedly have made resigning him a priority this offseason and Bradshaw would love to return to New York. But his counterpart Brandon Jacobs is scheduled to make $9.55 million in base salary in 2011, and if he isn't cut, the Giants may not be able to afford to keep both.

Dude, check out Johnny Football!
By Brent Zwerneman : January 25, 2013 : Updated: January 28, 2013 11:10am
COLLEGE STATION — Aggieland's Most Interesting Man is at it again — this time 10 stories above the grass where he became a Texas A&M legend last fall.
A week ago, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel teamed with a gang of former Texas A&M students dubbed Dude Perfect, an Internet sensation that had dropped jaws with its circus act from Kyle Field long before even he did. And the fun-loving Manziel, known to party a time or two (or 10), once again has made headlines for his off-field exploits — but these stunning results actually wound up back on the field.
"This," Manziel intoned toward a camera from the top of Kyle Field, "is the 'even longer' ball."
The star quarterback from Kerrville Tivy then launched a football that sliced through the breeze for six seconds upon its re-entry into the earth's atmosphere — or at least the air between Kyle's mammoth seating decks — and swished through a basketball hoop set up near the goal posts.
"Splashed it," Manziel added while strolling back down the steep steps of The Zone on Kyle's north end.
Dude Perfect, a band of five amiable Aggies, first made headlines nearly four years ago with an assortment of crazy basketball trick shots, starting innocently enough with a long shot from the stands of Kyle Field. Not quite as long, however, as Manziel's offering from the top row of the Zone. He didn't make it on his first try but it wasn't long after, according to Dude Perfect member Garrett Hilbert.
"Within five minutes, or even sooner, he had made it," Hilbert said. "It was under 10 tries."
The accompanying YouTube video, posted Thursday and dubbed the "Johnny Football Edition" from Dude Perfect, owned about 320,000 views by Friday evening. Hilbert said Dude Perfect first contacted Manziel via Twitter after the 2012 season opener against Florida, and he responded they should join forces for some fun following the season.
"We had told him we were huge fans and good luck this season, and he tweeted back that he was a fan of ours," Hilbert said.
The result is YouTube gold, in a nearly six-minute highlight reel including "skeet shooting" with footballs, popping balloons fastened to a goal post with long passes and even the quarterback booting an extra point, which made up for his miss in a blowout over Sam Houston State last November.
There was one important aspect not shown on the video, but one that would've had A&M fans howling had it not been properly addressed: Manziel ensured he was properly stretched and his arm was nice and warm before attempting the trickery.
"We took precautions," Hilbert said. "We didn't want Johnny to tear his ACL or anything like that while he was jacking around with us. And we told him to stop if his arm got tired."
The crew took about seven hours to collect its footage last week, including food breaks and Manziel's tales from the Aggies' 11-2 first season in the Southeastern Conference.
"He's just a freak of nature," Hilbert said, adding with a chuckle, "and a really cool dude to hang out with."
The Dude Perfect member said the sides plan to meet again in a year "after Johnny wins his second Heisman."
Should that take place, Manziel will simply have built on a legend that added another chapter this week.

2013 Ford Focus!
We are thinking about buying one and parking our primary car just to run around town and all that and was curious if anyone had one and if so what were you opinions on the car? We are also looking at other cars but she likes it the most and i think they have some decent incentives on them right now
Thanks in advance |

i had a Focus a few years ago and it was total junk...transmission went out at about 90K and it had several other problems...would rather walk than drive another one.
In contrast, I have a 2006 Scion with 170,000 miles on it that i've never had a problem with and is still on the original clutch.

I have one. Use to have a Impala, 2008 I think it was. So I can only compare those 2.
Focus trunk and inside are much smaller then the Impala. Focus is a 4 banger for sure, no get up and go at all. My automatic head and tail lights never worked. So I have to turn them on and off every time. Old school style. Gas mileage is about 1.8 miles a gallon better then the Impala, but the Impala was a 6. |

I work for GM so I would recommend the 2013 Chevy Malibu. They redesigned it this year and it looks sharp. At the very least go to your Chevy dealer and give it a test drive.
Whatever you decide please buy American.

I rented a Focus for a few days on an out of town assignment in the Motor City last Fall and I thought it sucked - souped-up piece of shizz - the kicker was the absolutely incomprehensible audio system. We leased a 2012 Corolla this for next to nothing and it's no comparison in terms of quality. Much better deal, too, since it will actually be worth something in 3 years, unlike the typical Ford product.

That's a negative. I don't want to derail the OP's thread. I can't get into too much detail since I work in Purchasing but I would say about 50% of our parts are manufactured in the USA.

An interview with Organic Avenue founder Denise Mari by Nell Alk.
In 2000, Denise Mari started healthy lifestyle company Organic Avenue out of her home. As of two weeks ago, she's opened OA's tenth storefront, located on the northeast corner of 21st Street and 8th Avenue in trendy Chelsea. Known for an array of organic, raw vegan offerings (from juices and smoothies to kale chips to wraps to gluten-free chocolate tarts) and a grab-and-go M.O., this latest location—though it's currently in "pop-up" stage—will soon be a sit-and-stay kind of place.
Mari, now 38, is what she eats. She follows the nutrition philosophy behind the nourishment she sells, summed up by OA mantra "LOVE," a.k.a. the "Live (long i) Organic Vegan Experience." With a slender frame, glowing skin, sparkling eyes, radiant hair, and a truly loving mindset, Mari's got the traits to match the gait.
But can she also talk the talk? I stopped by the grand opening of OA's latest location to find out.
First off, what's in store for this new location?
This space is going to be home to our new expanded concept. We're looking forward to incorporating more community interaction, more seating, more foods and juices in more than a grab-and-go format. We may have an elegant bar serving elixirs and smoothies. Come winter, you'll be able to heat your soups. We have a full kitchen here, so we'll start working with consciously cooked food—really clean, but allowing us to offer more than raw. I think a lot of people need that bridge between the two.
How would you classify your own diet?
I'm vegan. I eat predominantly raw food, but not a hundred percent. Vegetarian 18-plus years, 13-plus years vegan/mostly raw.
What first inspired you to get there?
It began in childhood. I had a love for animals. When I was eight, I went fishing with my father and made the connection between fish and food. I didn't feel like it was something I could consume, so I gave it up. Then came college. I met my first vegetarian and started asking myself, Why am I still eating meat when I love animals? If I could be healthy without it, then I wanted to explore it. So, I became a vegetarian and, about five years later, became interested in actually learning about what I was consuming. I visited PETA's website and found out there's an entire industry associated with the byproducts of animals. I felt very uncomfortable about this. Then, I learned about veganism and, luckily, raw foodism at the same time. I became more health-conscious and chose to eat more intelligently.
Aside from Organic Ave, what's your favorite eating establishment in NYC?
If I'm sticking close to raw, you'll find me at Pure Food & Wine. If I'm looking for comfort food, you'll find me in one of the Blossoms. V-Note on the Upper East Side I tend to enjoy very much.
What motivates you to eat raw?
The more juicing I do and the less cooked food I eat, the better I look and feel. It's motivation, because you see results right away. Go a couple days on cucumber and green juice and you'll see the glow.
If someone's not already juicing, why should they start?
If you feel great and think you're getting younger, don't. But, if you have any chronic symptoms, feel like your energy is low, or you're aging faster than you should, I suggest trying an unprocessed raw vegan diet with lots of juicing. It really is a panacea for health, the planet, and animals.
What do you say if someone says Organic Avenue's offerings are too expensive?
It's true, they are expensive. The reason? We don't skimp. We use only the highest quality ingredients. Organic certified. If people are eager to spend $12 on a cocktail at a bar, well, this $9 juice is an investment in your health and has long-term benefits.
Your costs go down in other ways, I think.
You reduce time out of work. Your energy's up, so you're exercising more than you were. Your clarity of purpose is there. Endless benefits. After going raw, I felt the best I'd ever felt. And spiritually, it tapped me into the idea of Organic Avenue and allowed me to discover my purpose—what I was going to do with my life.
Do you still exercise a lot?
Not as much as I'd like, but you know, the diet takes care of a lot. At one point I was 155 pounds. I was overweight, sluggish, fatigued. Not anymore. I think about a horse eating grass all day but being this extremely healthy, muscular animal. Many of the biggest mammals on the planet are raw vegans. It's a choice we humans have. Do we want to live a lifestyle that supports more death, sickness, and disease? Or do we want to live a lifestyle of peace and nonviolence?

The Source
Online Reservations
Loved the Dim Sum, it was the best I've ever had. Can't wait to return!
We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing and it was fantastic.
I went to The Source with my sister for my birthday and I didn't really know what to expect. The decor aired on the side of minimalist. Our reservation was on a Tuesday evening and we were seated quickly--it wasn't crowded at all. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made recommendations. He also was able to answer questions about items I inquired about. The menu was about two pages. There weren't too many items, I would say just enough. I tried a lamb duo that made my tastebuds DANCE!!! It was delicious. I ordered it medium and it was served with what looked like baby eggplant, red onion, snowpeas, and some other various asian inspired-like vegetables. I beleive there was a hint of teryaki and wasabi-type drizzle.
The good was good, the atmosphere was fun (although tucked away locationwise, but the price was too high for what was served.
My wife and I celebrated an anniversary at The Source knowing that it would be a special occasion, but even my high expectations were exceeded. Lisa M. was an excellent server, she gave us great attentive service and wonderful recommendations. In fact the only thing that wasn't outstanding (chocolate chip cookies) was the only thing all night where we didn't follow her recommendation. The cocktails and appetizers she recommended were great. I had the Sea Bass, which was a chef's special that night. It was so good it took my breath away. One of the top five pieces of fish I have ever had. My wife had similar comments about the pork belly that she enjoyed on Lisa's recommendation. Thank you for a great evening, I know we will be back.
Food excellent and fairly priced. Drinks and wine a bit costly.
We had been here for lunch and our return for dinner on a lovely cool summer night found the patio bar and dinner tables very crowded so we sat in a nice booth indoors. It was a very modern drink menu with about a dozen craft beers. We started with truffle fries and a charcuterie plate and both were good. We ordered beef cheeks and trout for entrees and the beef cheeks were very good. The trout was well-cooked but not terribly flavorful. Service was attentive and drinks were possibly a bit over-creative, but well-prepared.
This was a positive yet expensive experience but well worth the money. Everything from the pins and needles cocktail, the pork belly start to the desert was excellent. I'm going back soonest for happy hour. We loved the place!
Great Asian fusion food, a walk away from the Smithsonium. A little pricey, but very good service. Well worth a visit.
Fabulous luncheon experience. We celebrated a special occasion but would return any day of the week because of the delicious food and courteous staff!
I had to run dso had the lamb in lettuce which I love. This extremely tasty hand food is great at happy hour also. They had full lunches, Kobe burger whihc I believe is the best burger in Washington.
I frequent The Source, but this was my first time for brunch. Great, energetic vibe. The dim sum brunch was fantastic!
The Source is in the back of the Newseum Building so it is quite convenient if you are visiting. If Asian fusion food is what you're looking for, this is the place. However, it is noisy.
The food was great as was the ambiance. The service was set for liesurely lunch. It tolk over an hour and a half from sitting down to paying. Wait until you have time for a liesurely lunch. Do not try to fit it into an short lunch time.
Restaurant Week has been great so far for getting out to restaurants I haven't been to before. Source is great! Very good food. Limited Restaurant Week lunch menu was not a problem. Very good service and excellent food. Will definitely be back for dinner with my wife.
Good food, although most options were spicy, but they were accommodating to take out the spice out of the food for me. Went for lunch during restaurant week, and had a delicious shrimp dumplings soup, then the fish tacos entree, and then the chocolate chip cookies, while my friend had the carrot cake. The cake was delicious, while the cookies could have been more soft (they were too hard for my taste). They should also come with milk. Overall, very tasty lunch, and although portions seemed small, they filled us up and the desserts were a good size to top it all off. Would go back!
Great choice for a foodie dining experience. We had the halibut, which was cooked to perfection. The service and presentation were impeccable.
Our group went out to lunch for restaurant week and really enjoyed the food. In fact, I would love to go back for another meal. However, the service was slow and unimpressive.
Wanted to try The Source for several years now but just never got around to it, so, when it appeared on the Summer 2013 Restaurant Week list my friends and I jumped on it. We had a very tasty meal in a modern setting with a super waiter. We had so much fun and will definitely return to The Source.
The staff was outstanding, knowledgable, professional, first class. Pleasingodern environment, excellent food
I've been to Spago, and this is no Spago. The Source couldn't be more different than Spago, but in it's own way, it's just as great. The single word, that describes this foodies dream.......INNOVATIVE. Exotic combinations of flavors that work. Spiciness that makes your scalp itch and taste buds scream as you reach for more. The downside is that this kind of eating pleasure never comes cheap.
Never disappoints. Great food, pleasant and warm service, nice atmosphere.
Beautifully prepared entrees with an Asian twist. Source combines an attentive but not annoying service staff with a great location for museum-goers and office workers. A Penn Quarter fave for special occasions.
We took my mom, who is picky, for her birthday and he lived it. The food was divine and the deserts amazing.
Without a doubt, The Source is an outstanding dining experience. From the amazing service to the outstanding food (presented like a photo), there is no disappointment. We experienced a disappointment with the dessert; it was immediately whisked away without any back and forth and a different dessert was provided. THAT'S AWESOME SERVICE. The menu, which has a strong Asian influence, did not disappoint any of us. We will RUSH back!
Overall had an excellent dining experience for an anniversary. Starting with the Convenient valet parking and a great location arriving isn't a hassle considering the fact I booked on open tables just two days in advance. The appetizer cones were perfectly sized and presented, we got a couple of them complimentary too, complex toasted black and white sesame cone filled with a mix of finely chopped fresh exotic vegetables and micro greens topped succinctly with seaweed. There were very limited options in the menu that were vegetarian but when our server came, he added at least three more items that were not on the menu. They did don a 7 course vegetarian tasting menu that I would have picked if not for the revelation right before ordering.
Came here for a birthday and had a great time. Service was impeccable (friendly and knowledgeable) and the food was delicious. Definitely a place for a special dinner.
It was my hubby's birthday. I listed this in my OT reservation and from the moment we walked in the door, the staff knew what we were there for (dessert-only reservation for the chocolate chocolate chocolate mousse) and that it was his birthday. The staff was extremely friendly and genuine in wishing him a happy birthday. It made him feel like I had personally talked to each and every one of them, when in reality it just confirmed for me that they really do read the notes! GREAT JOB!
A superb dinning menu along with a very sophisticated wine choise at the begining, but carefully recommended by the sommelier. The place, the food and certainly the wine were the perfect allies for an incredible dinning experience.
The Source was recommended by several people as a centrally located restaurant for a lunch with colleagues. The ambiance and service are top notch and the prices on the high end but in line for a business lunch. The three of us selected from the Prix Fixe menu which is currently $45. Prices are not listed on the restaurant menus published on the website. The service and presentation of the food was marvelous. The first and main courses were good but did not knock my socks off. The deserts did shine. It was a good experience overall but somehow I expected more.
Everything was great and the food was outstanding. The staff was very friendly making my girlfriend feel special on her birthday!!!!!
The restaurant is beautiful and the staff attentive from the moment you walk in the door. But the real star is the food. The lamb lettuce cups and the chicken and mushroom dumplings are, by themselves worth returning for; the lacquered duck was divine. Nice by-the-glass wine choices, too. I would go back in a heartbeat.
We love how interesting the menu is and how well the food is prepared. There are always surprises and everything is excellent. And I REALLY appreciated that our plates weren't cleared until we both had finished our food, that is rare these days, even in the nicest restaurants.
My wife and I get here only once a year for lunch before going to the Newseum and it has always been perfect. I had a couple of sushi rolls with the butternut squash soup and she had the chicken salad. Everything was superb. As an aside, she misses the old Thai salad, but that's really not a complaint. We look forward to next year!
One of my favorite restaurants in DC, hands down. Everything is exceptional. If you feel like splurging, try the tasting menu. You won't be disappointed.
This was a special occasion lunch for friends moving back to their home. The food was excellent and the service superior. It made for a very enjoyable lunch.
We were going to a lecture at the Smithsonisan and wanted to dine before the lecture at 6:45. I chose The Source do to its location (part of the Newseum). The wait staff was very accommodating and we dined in under an hour. The food was excellent, but as others have mentioned pricey (even for DC). Asia fusion meets American ingredients. There is a wide variety to choose from and even two vegetarian options. We will return when we have more time to dine.
I took my wife to The Source for her birthday dinner. EVERYTHING was top-notch. We ate on the upper level so can't comment on the bar scene as we were away from that. The service, the food, the place was EXCELLENT. Would recommend this to anyone who really enjoys good food and wine. May be a bit pricey for some but WELL WORTH IT!
Everyone in my party was blown away! Such great food.
As always, the food was great with outstanding nuances, the service on point. You can never go wrong here if you're looking for a special experience.
We had dinner in the dining room. We started out with the crab cake as an appetizer; which was fabulous. We also ordered the salmon and the halibut. The salmon was great and was better than my husband's halibut. Followed dinner up with a piece of carrot cake. Although the dishes are a little pricey, we were pleased with the service and food that we had. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will definitely return.
Excellent menu with all chices especially tuna tartare delicious
Great menu with very interesting choices. Great cocktail menu. Food and beverages were top quality. Though we did not order wine, it looked like the wine list would not disappoint either. Service was extremely attentive. Pricey, but well worth it. Would definitely visit again.
Always a wonderful experience. Great food and the best restaurant in DC for conversation and food
The food was lovely to look at & to eat; the prices were definitely on the high end, so be prepared! We were there pre-theater (6pm) & it was very uncrowded & serene! A very enjoyable experience!
My wife and i try to visit the Source any Saturday when we are in town. We usually sit at the bar and split 8 dim sum, most all of which are spectacular. on our last visit we discovered the clams in chili sauce, a real winner. Don't miss the dumplings.
I had heard wonderful things about the Source and it did not dissapoint. Food was delicious! I would not recommend for large groups, but everything was outstanding and it is a very romantic spot!
Wonderful delicious food. Nice quiet pretty restaurant. Poor unprofessional service. For a fine dining establishment training is needed for service. Hostess texting on her phone. Waitress who would disappear for long periods of time. But at all times be surly. The service would have been acceptable in a restaurant costing half as much but given the more than $100 per person for a "routine meal" it was not acceptable. I would go back but only if I could be assured better service. There are lots of wonderful choices in DC that have both excellent food and service.
The Source was inventive, elegant and brilliant. One of the best meals I've had in a while. I will go back many times. We decided to have five appetizers instead of entrees. My favorite was a sashimi tuna presented in cones of sesame combined with sugar in a savory but sweet creme brule topping crust. It was amazing.
The food was very good and the service was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a special anniversary dinner.

Lookin' good! Be nice to wade up the beach in some warmer water! Good luck with the mod!
Lookin' good! Be nice to wade up the beach in some warmer water! Good luck with the mod!
To start of I would like to convey my thanks to the mod and mission makers for inviting me to test out some work in progress, it's was an honour to play a game with such an immersion factor.
You might wonder.. what he's on about, well read on:
.. Finding yourself on the the edge of the jungle, bullets are wizzing past, Cover is being shouted. You find yourself running to the nearest cover, diving down and all around you the world seems to explode.
Peaking over the edge you catch a glimps of some japanese in the distance.
contact to the east up the ridge.. the sound of garands fill the air along with the heavy sound of the bar, you peak up and get a few shots of. The area the japs where hiding is now being covered with small impacts of all the bullets the marines are sending that way.
Move up someone shouts, and the only thing you can think of is: He has got to be kiddin' we'll get shot the moment we move up. You find yourself running from cover to cover. Death bodies everywhere. The only thing that is going through your mind.. how can anyone survive this! will I?
Having read a few books on the pacific theatre I can't help feeling that this
modification does it more than justice, walking in the dense jungle you really get a feeling of being there.. it's just nerve racking, the jungle is alive with all kinds of sounds, it's dense and highly immersive, you find yourself walking up slowly looking left and right to see your buddy, weapons at the ready..
Well I can go on and on about the experience yet some things you have to see for yourself.. this modification is such a thing!
While we where playing this, we had a cameraman who was recording some footage so you can catch of glimpse of what he was experiencing during our game.. scroll down to find the link to all the footage that has been recorded.
There are the real life stories from the pacific, there is the TV series "the Pacific" and in the future there will be a modification with the same high standards cc realism to provide you with a unique experience "hell in the pacific".

Tonya has been reporting stories happening in the Pee Dee for more than 10 years.
FLORENCE -- Florence police arrested a man for trespassing at Royall Elementary School Monday morning, just a week after they say he threatened to blow up a school official.
Florence police charged James Scott with trespassing on Monday.
This is the second time Scott has been arrested in a week.
Last Thursday, police charged him with threatening the life, person or family of a public official, teacher and/or principal after they say he threatened over the phone to blow up a school official.
Scott has a child who attends Royall Elementary, according to police, and they say he was warned not to go back out to the school after his arrest last week.
Scott will go before a judge Tuesday morning for a bond hearing.
We'll let you know what happens.

The second factor is that the majority of the bidders are actually operators who had lost their licences and are compelled to participate in the auctions despite the high prices and the limited availability, simply in order to sustain their customers, businesses and to protect their years of investments, it said.
"Finally, the limiting of spectrum available for auction, which contrary to the Supreme Court ruling (to auction the entire spectrum related to the quashing of the impugned licences), added to the sense of uncertainty and fear of irrational bidding for many potential bidders," COAI said.
The artificial scarcity created by holding back spectrum combined with the high reserve price dampened any enthusiasm for aggressive bidding by the operators, it added.
"The auctions have concluded on the exact note as predicted," Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) said.
It had stated that the high reserve price would ensure that there would be limited players coming into the market to bid, and had also indicated that there would be extremely muted bidding with several circles that would have no bidders at all.
"The results of the auction clearly indicate that the reserve price was completely off the mark, with none of the interested operators also not pitching for the circles that they had committed to participate publically," Prashant Singhal, partner in member firm of Ernst & Young Global, said.
The government's plan of Rs. 40,000 crore has fallen flat and they would now need to go back on the drawing board with respect to 800 MHz and Delhi, Mumbai and Karnataka on 1800 MHz to figure out the market driven price, he added.
COAI said the root of the problem lies in the procedure adopted by the government in executing the auctions.
It, however, said, that auction is the "best and the most transparent way to determine the allocation and market price of a resource as rare as spectrum for commercial use".
COAI said only about 35 per cent of the total spectrum (only 27% in terms of reserve price) put up for auction was actually bid for. So the amount of freed spectrum now held by the government (413 MHz) is a waste of precious national resources, it added.

CoMentis, Inc. is focused on the research and development of small molecule drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease, with headquarters in South San Francisco and research operations in Oklahoma City. The company was founded based on the groundbreaking discoveries on structure, function, and inhibition of the beta-secretase enzyme by Jordan Tang, Ph.D., J.G. Puterbaugh Chair in Biomedical Research at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and Arun K. Ghosh, Ph.D., Ian P. Rothwell Distinguished Professor - Organic Chemistry/Medicinal Chemistry at Purdue University.
CoMentis is developing an orally administered disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease that inhibits the beta-secretase enzyme to reduce the formation of beta amyloid peptides, thereby preventing deleterious effects of accumulated amyloid peptides and downstream pathologies. Beta amyloid peptides aggregate to form soluble polymers and insoluble plaques in the brain, implicated in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Inhibition of beta-secretase reduces amyloid beta production and could block the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
CoMentis is currently pursuing the development of beta-secretase inhibitor drugs in partnership with Astellas Pharma, Inc., under terms of an exclusive worldwide collaboration agreement initiated in 2008.

Ian wrote:Alan B wrote:Or get a Cromotor. Wait, this is a 2wd thread. Never mind.
Hi Alan - read thru the cro thread and too big n'heavy for me I think- although I will keep an eye on people's experiences of it for lower speeds and modest power levels like mine.
Anyways apologies if my post was not totally on-thread but it is an attempt on my part to resolve the right design 2WD in my particular circumstances. Which I think is defintely worthy for 2WD. I am satisfied that using 1 battery of correct capacity, 2 identical controllers and 1 throttle is straightforwards and tried and tested. The evg frame fortunately is robust with strong front forks so again a good candidate. I need something similar in efficiency as my current 9c, at speeds 22mph and under. I get around 2 miles per ah in normal use, which is WOT on the hills, fairly easy cruising, then all the downhills.
At this time, I don't think there are even that many choices. 2 x 9C is to heavy. 2 x magicpie too heavy. 2 x smaller DD hubs might work but too much drag? Are there any mid-size DD hubs however, worth consideration for a 'middle of the road' 2wd setup?
So what I see as the only real choice is 2 of the 500w geared from cellman or 2 smaller geared hubs such as bafang. I don't know if a smaller geared hub even when doubled up will be strong enough or temp resistant over the long haul, so I would like to read anyones experience or crunch some numbers as it is definitely a stealthy look and good weight. 2 x cellmann 500w seems on paper to be the best choice. It means that weight remains about the same as my current 9C and also means I can configure my battery packs to go down to 40v and attain a capacity of 40ah, use a slow torque winding to get around a 22mph top speed, and tackle steep hills at a 'sweet spot' for each motor, around 12 to 14mph at say 800w draw on each for no longer than 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile at a time.
The benefits seem to be that I would gain greatly (in comparison with the 9c) from thermal efficiencies when going majorly uphill, freewheeling with pedal assist on the flat helps a bit more, and never overstressing the system at any point. Even at my highest theoretical draw of 20amp per motor, I am still only 1C on the battery pack, and when cruising on the flat from 18mph to 20mph, I would still expect to use only 350w combined or 175w on each hub - total 9amps on the battery or under 1/4c. Therefore, I should get a theoretical range of 70 -80 miles minimum on level road, is that correct?
Well I will keep learning and looking through all the posts and see what others have already experienced!

The only useful usage that would increase fun considerably would be to have AWG off road trike, used in extreme offroad conditions and on snow [putting aside the complexity of 3 WD]
I can't really see enough benefit of putting 2 motors on a standart bicycle. Put aside all the technical and mathematical calculations that some of geniuses has done here [full respect]
rojitor wrote:Ever since i turned my bike on a 2wd i noticed more stable rides, the weight at the front wheel makes a good balance, on top of that i can keep top speed climbing,sometimes i even pass gas motorcycles going uphill and i always know i can make it to home if i have a problem.Maybe with a cromotor or 54xx at the rear it is not so cool, time will tell.
Alan B wrote:The Cromotor is so wide there is little room for freewheel cogs and would not fit in most front forks. But 2 of them would be quite interesting.
Ian wrote:asked for quote from cellman for 2wd setup based on fishamsterdam feedback, who has 500w rear and 350w front and likes it. hoping for 1000w torque on the rear and same on the front but front doesn't appear to be available, so it may have to be one of his 350w with the matched rpm winding I figure?. Still if you can actually run 800W continuous rear and 300W continuous front, keep at a respectable (and efficient) 13mph to 15mph with a spot of pedaling, and it all works thermally in the summer for 12 mile from 900ft to 2800ft, then I am in. Also asked lyen about a custom dual motor controller - be cool to just have one unit, programmable for both motors and not ridiculously massive like that crystalye dual controller, don't see why not he's an electronic wiz. will post how it goes and what options are recommended by the pros.

Cellman replied re 2wd drive setup. He recommended 500w rear and 350w front, matched motors so for me a 10t wind running at 40v will get me over my 20mph target cruising speed. Shipping is $150 x 2 though. So figure around a grand to get set up. It seems like this is a very strong & reliable option and I like the idea of being able to get spares too just in case, although I'm not a high power user, for me its just for relaxation and watching the scenery
I also am considering the idea of cellman 1000w rear motor and mxus 350 min-motor on front, but with two seperate throttles. Would cut down on the overall noise and also perhaps be more efficient, once you get real world experience of the 1000w motor's thermal limits up hills, then it would be a simple matter to just dial in another 400 to 500 watts of pulling power from the front wheel. I would have thought a combined 1200 watts from 2 brushless geared motors spinning at high rpm to be faster and more efficient up any hill in comparision say to my 9c 2810 pulling 1200watts up same hill, which is still good but really likes to be running at 14mph or more and so you got to run at high voltage.
I see e-bike kit are also saying they are working on a warrantied dual drive (in their faq). Also hightekbikes do dual drive systems so am checking in to that.
I did ask Lyen about just one controller for both motors. I know he does one buts it's quite big. He will get back to me after his race and perhaps it is possible to downsize and even develop a controller that's programmable for both motors.
Hangdog98 wrote:So I've been following this with keen interest and I started to do so because I wanted to experiment with dual Q100's on a road bike running a single battery. When I began this journey into 2WD I was hypothesising that two motors would provide double the available torque of one motor OR for my application, the same torque at half the Amps on a given hill, with half the heat, give or take. This is my reason for considering two motors though I'm still not sure if this is correct. Can anyone provide this answer
If you feel compelled to tell me that I only need one motor twice the size, please try and resist the urge, I get that. I want very small lightweight under-stressed geared hub motors for this build.
Regarding the throttle(s), I planned a mechanical solution instead of an electrical one by grafting the two throttle mechanisms together on the one twist grip, keeping their wiring intact and running them to their respective controllers. Has anyone tried that solution?
Kingfish wrote:Generally you will consume more power than one motor doing all the work, and less than two motors sharing the load. The best use of 2WD is starting off the line and hill-climbing. The least benefit is when cruising on level ground; often one motor just tags along and lets the other take the load – or they go into contention if the two wheels and controllers are set identical. To prevent contention on my ebike, I deliberately set each wheel to a different physical size, and overtly set the power-levels different as well which worked out pretty dang well.
If you are looking to gain efficiency – this is not the thread for you. The fact is that 2WD can and does provide about twice the torque to the ground over a single motor at the same power; two motors individually set to X-wattage will push roughly twice as fast as a single motor set to X-wattage. Another way to look at it: 2WD will get off the line and climb hills faster and cooler than a single-wheel at twice the power; two motors using a total of X-wattage will outperform (though at an economic price) a single motor at the same X-wattage. The downside to 2WD is that you have twice the weight and twice the freewheel drag, but then you get twice the regen braking.
There is no free lunch: 2WD will use more power than a single-wheel drive.
It's also a heck of a lot of fun! KF

Preserving the traditional craft of natural history illustration in the digital era has reached an impressive 30 year milestone at the University of Newcastle.
The Bachelor of Natural History Illustration is the only one of its kind offered in Australia. Graduates are amongst just a handful worldwide who can illustrate with absolute accuracy across a diverse range of fields including medicine, taxonomy and archaeology.
Conjoint Senior Lecturer, Christine Sanders, said photographs could rarely replicate the very fine detail offered through a natural history illustration.
"Where a photograph's lighting and angle can sometimes distort an image, natural history illustrations offer precision. Often our students use microscopes to accurately illustrate every aspect of their subject such as each tiny hair on a spider's leg or the minute detail of a flower's ovary.
"This level of detail is critical to the work of scientists and others who rely on the accuracy offered through natural history illustrations."
Graduates of the three-year undergraduate or one-year honours program are in demand in Australia and overseas from a range of organisations including scientific, medical and educational institutions; publishers; libraries; and galleries and museums.
The University's program is recognised internationally with students coming to Newcastle from as far afield as Greece, the United States, the United Kingdom and Bermuda. The program's reputation has even extended as far as a United States correctional facility with an inmate contacting the University inquiring about enrolling in an external program.
"The Smithsonian Institute in Washington recommended us to him. Unfortunately we were not able to help as the program is not offered externally but it did go to show just how far our reputation has reached," said Ms Sanders.
The University will celebrate 30 years of natural history illustration with a special exhibition dedicated to Professor Graham Gilchrist, who first introduced the discipline of natural history illustration to the University in 1979. The discipline was developed into a degree in its own right in 2003.
The exhibition - Drawn from Nature - will feature 77 works from past and present staff and students.
Drawn from Nature will be officially opened by Mr Brian Gilligan, former Director General of the National Parks and Wildlife Service at 5.30pm on Friday 8 February 2008 at the Lovett Gallery, Newcastle Regional Library. The exhibition will run until Saturday 22 March 2008. Gallery hours are Monday to Wednesday 9.30am to 8pm, Thursday to Friday 9.30am to 5pm, and Saturday 9.30am to 2pm.
Photo opportunity: Media will be able to photograph and film the artworks from Wednesday 6 February. Arrangements via Ms Christine Sanders. Electronic images also available.
