Over the years, breast augmentation surgery has made countless women happy with their contours, and remains one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery today. Whether they sought out surgery to replenish lost volume, to correct asymmetry, or to add volume where they never had it, breast augmentation is one of the most satisfying procedures for women because it gives them the ability to achieve exactly the chest profile and shapely physique they want, a real confidence booster for any woman!Breast augmentation is one of the most customizable surgical procedures available today, and we offer numerous options to meet your specific goals and to match your natural anatomy. Whether you are seeking a naturally fuller look or a more voluptuous appearance, breast augmentation can help you achieve the beautiful, sexy figure you have always wanted!
Dr. Burton Sundinand Dr. Reps Sundin are highly experienced, extremely skilled Board Certified Plastic Surgeons dedicated to offering each of their patients a truly individualized surgical experience and delivering simply stunning, long-lasting results. At the Virginia of Plastic Surgery, located in Vienna, VA and Richmond, Virginia, it is our priority to keep up with all the latest advances in both breast implant products and surgical techniques. Your breast augmentation surgery will be unique to you and we will ensure that you are well versed on all your options and their implications for your results. We strive to work in tandem with you to give you your ideal breast profile!
Implants today come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. The biggest choice is between saline and silicone gel implants. Both implant types come in a durable silicone shell that is non-allergenic, non-carcinogenic, and non-irritating. Each type has certain advantages and we will make suggestions on which would work best for you depending on the look you are striving to achieve.
Breast implants can be placed under or above your pectoral (chest) muscle. Drs. Sundin will usually recommend placing implants in the subpectoral (under the muscle) position. This placement offers the added benefit of extra tissue coverage for the top portion of your implant, reducing the potential for visible ripples or wrinkles. Studies have also shown that this placement allows for ease of mammographic imaging of breasts when compared to placement of the implant above the muscle. There is also some evidence of a slightly lower risk of capsular contracture(hardening of scar tissue around the implant) with submuscular placement.
There are instances when a subglandular (under the tissue, but above the muscle) placement may be recommended. Patients who are particularly athletic with weights may opt for a subglandular placement to avoid any distortion that can be caused by working out the pectoral muscle. If there is mild droop to the breasts, a subglandular approach may be recommended as well.
Your incision for a breast augmentation is generally small: approximately 3-4 centimeters in length. This may vary a little depending on the size of the implant. Your breast implants can be inserted using a variety of incision options:
Most breast augmentation surgeries take about 1-2 hours and are performed under general anesthesia. Many patients will need to take about a week off work to recover. You will also have be careful about easing back into more strenuous upper body activities in the weeks following surgery. Of course, you will notice the change to your breast profile immediately, but it will take several weeks or even several months before all the swelling subsides and the implants fall into their final correct position. We will closely follow your postoperative recovery and are always available to answer any questions you have along the way.
At the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery, with offices conveniently located in Richmond and Tyson's Corner, our ultimate goal is to ensure you achieve naturally-gorgeous results that reflect your inner beauty and vitality, while providing you with excellent medical care that maintains and supports your health and well-being. Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin are both Board Certified in plastic surgery with extensive specialized training and decades of experience, enabling them to stay abreast of the latest advancements in cosmetic surgery and non-surgical rejuvenation procedures. Their dedication to the powerful combination of cutting-edge techniques, open and honest communication, and a patient-centric philosophy is sure to maximize your safety and comfort, while ensuring simply stunning, simply amazing results!
If you are interested in breast augmentation surgery or would more information on any of our surgical or non-surgical procedures, we encourage you to contact the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery to schedule an appointment today. We look forward to hearing from you!

You have heard the soundbite and listened to the speech – now enjoy the musical parody. For anyone still grappling with David Cameron's notion of the big society, help is at hand.
The Prime Minister's idea has been given The Good Old Days treatment and is due to be performed in Edwardian music-hall style. The all-singing, all-dancing Big Society! premieres at the newly restored Leeds City Varieties later this month starring the Never Mind the Buzzcocks comedian Phill Jupitus.
The show has been written and composed by Boff Whalley, lead guitarist of Chumbawamba, the band whose lead singer Danbert Nobacon decanted an ice bucket over John Prescott at the 1998 Brit awards in protest at Labour's refusal to back the Liverpool dock workers. Despite being set in 1910, the Red Ladder theatre company production seeks to draw parallels to the present day.
The story centres on the exploits of a variety show cast in a country presided over by an ageing monarch, run by an élitist government of public schoolboys and bedevilled by a corrupt media establishment. It also marks a return to more radical roots for Jupitus, who began his performing life as a punk poet and was part of Red Wedge, the anti-Thatcher music and comedy collective that included socialist pin-ups Paul Weller and Billy Bragg.
Jupitus said he did not look back on the political scene of the 1980s with any great affection but he was perhaps even more deeply demoralised by today.
"The way politics is now there is no passion in it," he told i. "For everything that was wrong with Thatcher and her cabinet they were clearly defined, identifiable characters. I challenge any of your readers to name six people in the Cabinet today."
Jupitus, who has appeared in the musicals Spamalot and Hairspray, admitted that he also struggled to define what the big society actually was. "I don't even understand what he means by it," he said. "It's something that sounded good to a focus group."
And describing the disillusion of the Blair years as "the same" he urged working people to remember the struggles of the past.
"This notion that trade unions are wrong is endemic in society at the moment that they are somehow bad people," he said. "But we wouldn't have any employment rights if it wasn't for trade-union activists at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.
"Women wouldn't have rights. There wouldn't be a lunch break there wouldn't be tea breaks. People wouldn't have holidays."

Leo DiCaprio calls for end of fossil fuel dependence at World Economic Forum & Private Jet Parade
**Written by Doug Powers
After DiCaprio scolded non-Hollywood enemies of the environment about their evil ways, he got on his bicycle and peddled all the way from Switzerland back to Blackadore Caye:
DiCaprio pointed to the elimination of fossil fuels as the next big step to be taken, urging business leaders to leave behind "corporate greed" in the oil industry and instead focus on the betterment of the planet.
"We simply cannot afford to allow the corporate greed of the coal, oil and gas industries to determine the future of humanity. Those entities with a financial interest in preserving this destructive system have denied, and even covered-up the evidence of our changing climate," he said. "Enough is enough. You know better. The world knows better. History will place the blame for this devastation squarely at their feet."
He continued: "Our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground where they belong. Twenty years ago, we described this problem as an addiction. Today, we possess the means to end this reliance."
Because DiCaprio doesn't like greedy corporations, he only agreed to appear in his latest film, The Revenant, after making sure it would be released by a small altruistic company not beholden to Wall Street interests: 20th Century Fox.
The Time article talks up DiCaprio's environmental philanthropy, but if Leo were actually serious about it, one of his top priorities at the World Economic Forum would have been to call for an end to dependence on World Economic Forum meetings:
The number of private jets landing in east Switzerland's main airports is expected to jump by a third this month as world leaders, executives and entrepreneurs descend on Davos for the annual World Economic Forum.
Last January, 1,389 private planes flew into Zurich, St Gallen-Altenrhein and Samedan airports, 35pc more than in an average month, according to the aircraft services group Gama Aviation.
The extra load could be even higher this year, as last year's increase was bigger than in previous years.
These people shamelessly deny the existence of online meeting services in order to continue their paid vacations under the guise of saving the planet.
Final suggestion for Leo: Demanding that Hollywood hypocrites end their dependence on party superyachts owned by leaders of the United Arab Emirates might also contribute to a reduction in fossil fuel dependence.

Ever thought that maybe guerrilla gardening and/or planting more trees all around us isn't the best way to restore our environment? At least not to U.S. scientists who are developing a synthetic tree that collects carbon "around 1000 times faster than the real thing."
So how is a carbon-catching tree even possible?
As the wind blows through plastic "leaves," the carbon is trapped in a chamber, compressed and stored as liquid carbon dioxide.
The technology is similar to that used to capture carbon from flue stacks at coal-fired power plants, but the difference is that the "synthetic tree" can catch carbon anytime, anywhere.
The scientists aim their synthetic tree to collect the CO2 from jets, airplanes, cars, etc. "We are going after CO2 that otherwise is nearly impossible to collect" says Professor Klaus Lackner, Ewing-Worzel Professor of Geophysics in the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University who is in the process of pitching his idea to the Department of Energy.
Although, are synthetic trees something we want to populate our beautiful city blocks and neighborhoods with? The synthetic trees are "highly efficient for its size when compared, for example, to a modern power-generating wind turbine."
But can it be done, a synthetic carbon-catching tree? We'll have to wait and see.

Poor Richard, it seems that there are truly none so blind as those that will not see.
You claim that our representatives of a more conservative nature are guilty of "partisan intransigence"? When it is the left that constantly berate and are far more prone to pertinacity than our conservative friends in office.
Our President makes comments off the cuff that offend one's sense of decency and fair play, but those on the left will not condemn him for these statements. Such as "bringing a gun to a knife fight". He calls republicans the "party of of no" and then quite recently he implied that those who dare to disagree with him are "enemies". Hypocrisy and doublespeak is what people that have their eyes and ears open hear when this man speaks, I am deeply troubled that our president can voice such totalitarian comments and the so called liberals that hold free speech in such high regards, are utterly silent and apparently in agreement with the president.
The Dubai ports deal was nixed because the American people rejected the idea, president Bush honored his commitment to the us and backed down. He wanted to provide a path to citizenship for those here illegally, again he backed down.
But not so with our current president. He and his band of cronies continue to push through legislation that is very unpopular with the majority of Americans.
The fact is that Obama forced a nationalized health care tax onto the working class and exempted his loyal constituents is so unfair and underhanded that it almost defies any type of rational justification. Those that are "exempted " from the oppressive and burdensome expense of the takeover/overhaul are the very folks that voted him into office. We have the low income/ tanf/ssi entitlement crowd, academia, union workers that will benefit from this unconstitutional power grab and the wealthy individuals that don't really have to worry about heath care expenses on one side of the political landscape that support the president on this issue. On the other side we have people that have the audacity to earn a living and contribute to a program that will not benefit them. This will serve to promote a two tier division of irrationally and unfair increases in health care (tax) costs to people that have no longer have any choice nor any voice.
I will conclude with a quote from Jerry Brown, our recycled governor :
"we don't need more jobs, we need more welfare".
#2 Nov 8, 2010
Mazz began with the fact that as a liberal, he could not be happier with the recent election. OK.
Lack of jobs, the very poor economy, the health care bill that nobody wanted and that ridiculous stimulus were the main factors for people turning away from the Democrats this election.
The Republicans picked up at least 60 seats in the House, their biggest gain since 1938. They now control the House 239 to 187 (something like that).
They picked up 6 seats in the Senate, including Obama's former Illinois seat.(big slap in the face).
The GOP now has more than half of the Governorships.
The GOP picked up something ridiculous like 680 statewide races.
Locally, Wally won by a landslide. Everybody knew that was going to happen. The yes vote on 19 could only garner 11 of the 58 California counties.
Speaking of counties, Brown won 22 out of the 58 and Boxer won 21 out of the 58. Which does not make a hill of beans difference, since the election goes by popular vote and the massive cities where the electorate relies more on government services traditionally votes democratic.
All in all, I am sure Mazz is not really pleased with this election.
The truth is, the GOP will attempt many bills and Obama will respond with a veto.(Does that make Obama now the President of "NO"?) Nothing to very little is going to get accomplished. Now that I think about it, that suits me fairly well. I dislike Big Government and wish they would stay as much out of our lives as possible. Do we need government? Yes we do, but on a limited scale.
Here's to you , Mazz. If you are trully happy with this election, then more power to you.
Have a nice week, and don't forget to buy American-made stuff.
#3 Nov 8, 2010
Well lets see. Moonbeam brown sent the working taxpayers down the river last time in office and now he can complete the job. Your choice of boxer has done nothing for the working man since she was first in office. She be another lameduck. And dope is for dopes so that was a big win when 19 went down. So the way I see it 1 win out of 3 is not bad especially in this mixed up state of California confusion.

Mr. Mazzucchi doesn't realize that the more things go his way the less he will have.
We can go completely green tomorrow and China, India, and Vietnam will profit while we pay....no...while we put it on this nation's maxed out credit card.
If Richard has some facts that show some of that, "green economy", benefiting the working class I'd like to see them.
#6 Nov 9, 2010
With the rest of the Country waking up from the last nightmare election, California is still first. First to go bankrupt. First to re-elect a recycled Govenor. All of Mazzuchi's pals will be the only ones left in this State. Broke unions, third generation welfare recipiants and extreme enviromentalist. The rest of the nation will not be to anxious to bail Califoria out. I don't see this election as a win for liberals, I see it as the end of an era. The old saying I never got a job from a poor person is still true. Demonize business and they will leave for greener pastures and take their jobs and taxes with them.

Okay conservative wackos. Twenty months to turn it around. Better get started time is ticking! I will humbly apoligize to all, if the Republicans can do what Obama and the Democrats couldn't do.

Many would gladly take that bet if the Republicans also had 60 seats in the Senate. For the last two years (hopefully) of Obummer's administration, nothing to very little will get done. Everything the Republican's send to the WH will get vetoed and they do not have enough votes to overide. Lameduck. On the other hand, the democrats owned the Wh, the Senate and the House and look how much they screwed our country up. Now even a majority of the democrats say our country is heading in the wrong direction. There is no need to apologize from good, hard working Americans. They didn't screw up this economy. It was caused by many factors and from both sides of the political spectrum. Now it's time to find better solutions than what we have seen in the last 22 months. We can help do our part - buy American-made products. Hoarding and stashing away our money is not buying products to keep Americans working.

Yes, people are contributing to global warming, but can "going green" really make that much of a difference? Does buying a $110,000 Lexus Hybrid mean that you are really making an impact? Minor changes in the things that people buy and the things that people do in their everyday lives really isn't going to do much to change what is going to happen in our future. Yea, it may make a small statistical effect over the next 100 years if more people start going green, but it really isn't going to stop global warming from doing what it it is going to do.

mazz, smoke this in your pipe! It is quite long so it will take a few comments.
From the Investors Business Daily - Posted 11/04/2010 07:10 PM ET
States: The midterm elections turned into a sweeping repudiation of the Democrats' failed status quo except, that is, in California. There, not only did the Democrats not lose, they gained clout.
Even as voters in other states said they'd had enough of ever bigger, more intrusive and higher-cost government by the Democrats, California voters said, "More please."
With the exception of the governor's office, California has been a virtual one-party state since the 1960s. Now, thanks to decades of anti-business policies promulgated by a series of left-leaning legislatures, its economy and finances are a mess, and it's hemorrhaging jobs, businesses and productive entrepreneurs to other states.
The pattern continued on Tuesday, when voters rehired 1970s Democratic gubernatorial retread Jerry Brown and rejected moderate Republican and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina for far-left, five-term incumbent Sen. Barbara Boxer.
How bad has it gotten in the erstwhile Golden State? Consider
#16 Nov 11, 2010
Some 2.3 million Californians are without jobs, for a 12.4% unemployment rate one of the highest in the country.
From 2001 to 2010, factory jobs plummeted from 1.87 million to 1.23 million a loss of 34% of the state's industrial base. Ask any company, and it'll tell you the same thing: It's now almost impossible to build a big factory in California.
With just 12% of the U.S. population, California has almost a third of the nation's welfare recipients. Some joke the state motto should be changed from "The Golden State" to "The Welfare State." Meanwhile, 15.3% of all Californians live in poverty.
The state budget gap for 2009-10 was $45.5 billion, or 53% of total state spending the largest in any state's history.
The state's sales tax is the nation's highest, and its income tax the third-highest, the BusinessInsider.com Web site recently noted. Meanwhile, the Tax Foundation's "State Business Tax Climate Index" ranks California 48th.
In a ranking by corporate relocation expert Ronald Pollina of the 50 states based on 31 factors for job creation, California finished dead last.
In another ranking, this one by the Beacon Hill Institute on state competitiveness, California came in 32nd down seven spots in just one year.
California is home to 25% of America's 12 million to 20 million illegal immigrants. A 2004 study estimated that illegals cost the state's citizens $10.5 billion a year roughly $1,200 per family.
Unfunded pension liabilities for California's state and public employees may be as much as $500 billion roughly 17% of the nation's total $3 trillion at the state and local level

This has been building for decades. Yet, despite the abysmal track record, Democrats in this election not only won six of the state's seven top jobs, they extended their hold over the state legislature, too. The GOP gained a record 680 seats in statehouses nationwide on Tuesday. In California, they gained none.
Even Democratic candidate Jenny Oropeza, who died two weeks ago, still managed to defeat live Republican John Stammreich in a race for a state Senate seat.
California really bucked the national trend.
"Democrats had a 13-point party identification advantage among California voters, compared with an even split nationwide," wrote Jack Pitney, a professor at Claremont McKenna College, on the National Review's blog. "California voters approved of President Obama's performance by a 10-point margin, whereas the national electorate disapproved by nine points.
"It's a different kind of state," he said. That may be the understatement of 2010.
A large part of the state's Democratic tilt comes from its massive Latino population. The Los Angeles Times noted that it made up 22% of the voting pool, "a record tally that mortally wounded many Republicans."
Indeed, Latinos went for Democrats by 2-to-1 perhaps ending the naive idea of some in the GOP of a New Majority built on the burgeoning Latino population.
But the real political problem lies in Sacramento, the state capital, which is run not so much by politicians as by the unions they've sold out to state employees, nurses, teachers and prison guards

For their part, politicians have largely ignored the state's crumbling infrastructure, failing schools and dismal job market. And it's about to get worse.
Voters also approved a new measure requiring a simple legislative majority to approve a state budget. It previously took two-thirds, giving Republicans far more leverage. Democrats, in other words, will now find it even easier to spend money they don't have.
Moreover, as its tax base shrivels, the state is lurching ever closer to fiscal insolvency. At some point, it will ask Congress for a bailout, and how likely is that with the new Republican majority?
Worse is the feeling among the state's businesses of an entrenched, almost pathological antipathy toward any job-creating activity.
As Cypress Semiconductor CEO T.J. Rodgers memorably put it: "The killer factor in California for a manufacturer to create, say, 1,000 blue-collar jobs is a hostile government that doesn't want you there and demonstrates it in thousands of ways."
So far this year, thanks to California's unfriendly political environment, strict regulations and high taxes, 32 companies have announced they'll either expand elsewhere, move or shut down operations, according to the California Manufacturers & Technology Association.
For many, it's as simple as ABC Anywhere But California. This is an issue near and dear to our hearts. Investor's Business Daily was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles and for a quarter of a century has proudly called California its home.
But we too have been affected by the state's poisonous, anti-business political environment. With de facto one-party rule in the state since the 1960s and few signs of change anytime soon, our optimism about the state's future has begun to wane.
As a result, sad to say, much of IBD's future growth will happen at a new facility in Texas where local and state authorities have bent over backwards to make us feel welcome.
California was once like Texas, but lost its way. Today, when comparisons are made, California is most often compared to Greece another idyllic place with a sunny, Mediterranean climate on the verge of bankruptcy.
In the end, only the voters of California can change things. But on Tuesday, they opted for more of the same governance that will only make conditions worse.
mazz, you are now an armed opponent!
#19 Nov 11, 2010
To Mr. Fedups I think you should get over yourself.
Californians voted differently because Californians for the most part are free thinkers. They don't often jump on the bandwagon of Republican fear mongering. They also live in a beautiful state and they would like to do what it takes to keep it that way. People who care about the environment don't vote Republican no matter what. Boxer helped save millions and millions of acres of desert lands when she and Feinstien added to the Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Parks. They established wilderness preserves and brokered a deal to save five Thousand Acres of Old-Growth Redwoods. That's why Californians vote for them again and again.
Money is nice and business is important, but when the Earth is melting and ecosystem won't support the people and animals any longer does it really matter if you have a pile of cash?
I've seen entire ecosystems destroyed never to return. During my 50 years in California I've seen the air cause illness in myself and others. I've seen species eliminated and good water sources dry up. I'm now in the process of going broke in this state, but still wouldn't want to live anywhere else. We will overcome this Republican assault on California that began with the Bush/Eron energy assualt and is now fully in the grasp of a Bush/Bank Real Estate assualt. The Bush Republicans can keep trying, but they are never going to get the California Electoral Votes they so shamelessly seek.
As a citizen of a conservative red-neck county, I'm thankful for those city-folk that keep voting democratic. If it were up the people around here the forest would be destroyed and the last salmon cooked. The streams and rivers would be further dammed and destroyed and a suburban hell would stretch from Chico to Redding with no open space left. The Air would be far worse then Southern Cals and people would be dieing all over the place.
So, Bring it on you Business Heathen we're ready for you.

Caps' Ovechkin accused of dirty hit
Washington Capitals captain
Alex Ovechkin was the center of attention without scoring a goal.
During Washington's 7-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning late Tuesday, Ovechkin was accused of a "dirty" play for a hit in the third period on Tampa Bay's Steve Downie, and the pair later dropped their gloves and were set to fight in the Lightning zone with six minutes left. But Washington right wing Matt Bradley skated in front of Ovechkin and fought Downie.
"Downs makes a move, he (Ovechkin) sticks his knee out, leaves his knee out there," Tampa Bay center Jeff Halpern said of Ovechkin's hit. "It's not the cheapest hit in the world, but it's still a dirty hit. I think it's a dangerous hit."
Tampa Bay coach Rick Tocchet said he didn't see the play, but added that several Lightning players told him that Ovechkin did stick his knee out. Ovechkin served a two-game suspension from the NHL for a kneeing penalty on Nov. 30.
Ovechkin had already talked with reporters before Halpern made his comments. The Washington captain addressed his near fight.
"I dropped my helmet and I dropped my gloves, so I was ready to fight," Ovechkin said. "Brads jumped in to fight for me. He did a great job."
Bradley received four penalties, including two minutes for instigating, a fighting major and a game misconduct. Downie got a fighting penalty and a 10-minute misconduct, while Ovechkin received a minor penalty.
The NHL office was expected to review Bradley's action. He was on the bench when the altercation started, but said he waited until another Washington player returned to the bench before going on the ice.
"I would never leave the bench and just randomly go after the guy," Bradley said. "We've got a guy like that going after our best player. Obviously, we can't let that happen."

2004 Chevrolet Cavalier
transmission Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: Widespread instrument panel failure is a common and frustrating reality for many 2004-2005 Chevy Cavalier owners. They're often left in the dark when it comes to knowing how fast they're going, what their engine temperature is, or even how much fuel they have left in the tank.
The likely culprit is a series of bad "stepper motors" which control the gauges and are no longer covered under warranty. Think not being able to see your speed is a safety issue and should be recalled for all owners? We'd agree. Trouble is, apparently the NHTSA does not.

Etta Mcquade's Reviews > Travels With My Aunt
Travels With My Aunt
by Graham Greene, Gloria Emerson
by Graham Greene, Gloria Emerson
Etta Mcquade's review
Jan 08, 2012
Read in January, 2012
When Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager and a rather boring individual, meets his 75 year-old aunt Augusta for the first time in over 50 years at his supposed mother's funeral, he learns that his mother is not his mother, and that his aunt lives a bizarre life. Soon after, he leaves his dahlias, to travel with her to Brighton, Paris, Istanbul and Paraguay. I should have been aware of her low-key immorality when the cover calls her "a veteran of Europe's hotel bedrooms," but had to keep reading as they encounter hippies, war criminals, CIA men, pot smokers and law breakers, and especially to learn who Henry's mother is. (I had a hunch and was right.) The book is crazy, sometimes funny, bizarre, outlandish (Do these adjectives all mean the same thing?), sometimes stupid, and unlike anything I have ever read. And, at the end, Henry permanently escapes from his dahlias and his yawning life. Surprisingly, I did like the book.

GTX 460 1GB and GTX 470 Price cuts expected
With the pending release of the Radeon 6800 series tonight NVIDIA seems to be preparing a price reduction on their GTX 460 and 470 series graphics cards.
Eexact figures are not yet known yet one thing is sure, the R6800 series definitely will be faster than the GTX 460 models. Looking at prices right now we can already spot price drops being effective, if we have a quick peek at the cheapest models:
- GeForce GTX 460 768MB costs 145 EUR / $169.99
- GeForce GTX 460 1024MB costs 175 EUR / $219.99
- GeForce GTX 470 1280MB 199 EUR / $279.99
Now we expect another price drop on top of that, which is exciting for sure.
Update, we've received info from NVIDIA in the price reductions, it goes as follows:

PowerColor custom Radeon HD 6800 card
More (two) photos of one of PowerColor's upcoming custom-design Radeon HD 6800 series graphics cards.
Just a few moments ago PowerColor added a couple of pictures of an upcoming AMD video card on it's Facebook page that showcase its new PCS cooling system.

New H.A.W.X. 2 benchmark not objective ?
All press that are reviewing Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 cards have received a rather interesting email from AMD today. Though we don't have it / were contacted about it by NVIDIA whatsoever, it seems that NV or Ubisoft has been distributing a a new H.A.W.X. 2 benchmark for use with upcoming reviews. AMD is actively asking not to use this benchmark that NVIDIA is pushing, alleging that the results are not objective, have a peek at what we received:
It has come to our attention that you may have received an early build of a benchmark based on the upcoming Ubisoft title H.A.W.X. 2. I'm sure you are fully aware that the timing of this benchmark is not coincidental and is an attempt by our competitor to negatively influence your reviews of the AMD Radeon HD6800 series products. We suggest you do not use this benchmark at present as it has known issues with its implementation of DirectX 11 tessellation and does not serve as a useful indicator of performance for the HD 6800 series. A quick comparison of the performance data in H.A.W.X. 2, with tessellation on, and that of other games/benchmarks will demonstrate how unrepresentative H.A.W.X. 2 performance is of real world performance.
AMD has demonstrated to Ubisoft tessellation performance improvements that benefit all GPUs, but the developer has chosen not to implement them in the preview benchmark. For that reason, we are working on a driver-based solution in time for the final release of the game that improves performance without sacrificing image quality. In the meantime we recommend you hold off using the benchmark as it will not provide a useful measure of performance relative to other DirectX 11 games using tessellation.
As always for reasons like above, amongst others, we'll stick to our benchmark suite as always, making sure that both parties have equal chances.
3DMark 11 High-Temple 1080P trailer preview
After the Deep Dive submarine level shown a while ago we have a new 3DMark 11 trailer to share with you. Created entirely with DirectX 11 and presented in 1080p the 3DMark 11 "High Temple" trailer is a glimpse of the graphics gamers can expect from DirectX 11 games in years to come.
The ruined rem ains of a lost civilization. An abandoned dig site. Secrets hidden deep in the jungle are uncovered with atm ospheric lighting and DirectX 11 tessellation.
High Temple is a demonstration of DirectX 11 technologies using the 3DMark 11 engine. It does not represent the final scope of the 3DMark 11 benchmark and does not produce a 3DMark score. There are no plans to release the High Temple tech demo to the public. The High Temple video trailer was rendered by the 3DMark 11 engine using readily available DirectX 11 hardware, captured at high resolution and then compressed into video formats suitable for the Internet. The High Temple trailer features a mysterious ruined temple overgrown by encroaching jungle. Volumetric lighting illuminates the scene with tessellation used to add rich detail to the temple carvings and the jungle foliage. Post processing delivers depth of field and other lens effects. The music is an original composition by renowned composer Pedro Macedo Camacho ...

A testament to the Company's dedication to market leadership, the new facility features best of class manufacturing, as well as test and burn-in technology required by the Company's growing OEM client base. The new facility increases the Company's SSD manufacturing capacity to 140,000 units a month from 50,000 units a month internally, accommodating the growing demand for both client and enterprise OCZ SSDs.
"As our SSD revenues continue to expand, we are happy to announce our new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Taipei, Taiwan," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of the OCZ Technology Group. "Our new 20,000 square foot facility was set up in response to increased demand from OEMs for our Enterprise Solid State Drive products and significantly increases our monthly SSD capacity."
OCZ demonstrated exciting growth last quarter (SSD unit sales ramped from an average of 15,000 units per month in Q1'11 to over 54,000 units in August). This manufacturing expansion signifies the company's commitment to supporting its growing OEM client base.
With a complete spectrum of interfaces including SATA, SAS, Fibre Channel, PCI-Express, USB 3.0, and the proprietary High-Speed Data Link (HSDL) introduced earlier this month, OCZ anticipates demand of its current and future SSD products and continues to establish itself in both the consumer and enterprise storage markets. Thanks to the improved manufacturing capabilities of the supplementary factory, OCZ intends on meeting the market demand in the coming months.

Colorful Raynor Tower chassis
Another chassis was reelased, this one is from Graphics card maker Colorful introduced the Raynor Tower mid-tower case. The case is made from SECC steel, it weighs 8kg and measures 190mm x 490mm x 510mm.
The chassis is completely black including the inside, including the tool-free drive retention knobs and the perforated expansion slot covers. There's an opening behind the CPU socket area to help you handle coolers with back-plates better, and all the holes you'll need for cable-management. Ventilation includes one 120 mm fan pre-fitted on the front-intake, there's room for one 120 mm rear fan, two 140 mm fans on the top, and two 140 mm fans on the side panel. The controls and front-panel are located on the top.
There's support for very long graphics cards and for $60 you seem to be getting quite a lot, with one of the few obvious disadvantages being the fact that only one fan is included [via TPU]

A recent push by foreign countries to send students to study abroad has helped galvanize efforts at Western New Mexico University to expand services to international students.
The new Office of International Studies opened this fall semester with a purpose to facilitate registration to WNMU by international students and provide support services for these students.
Currently at least 19 countries are represented by WNMU's student population and Dr. Alexandra Neves, professor and director for the new office, hopes to see that number increase.
"We want to internationalize the university," Neves said. "If you look at all other universities in New Mexico, they have such an office and so we were falling behind in that sense."
Neves is pushing one of the university's priorities to continue to grow partnerships with foreign institutions of higher education. Recent agreements with universities in Brazil, Mexico and Spain mark the beginning of such efforts.
"President Shepard is really excited to push the agenda of internationalization," Neves explained. "This new office will be the point of contact for all international students and provide ground support."
WNMU's international students have traditionally been recruited to play athletics. Lately, a growing number of students are arriving for non-athletic programs including the Language Institute.
"We had five Brazilian students this summer and there is a lot to learn about the different needs of every international student," said Neves.
Two students from Spain arrived this fall and are enrolled in the Masters of Arts in Education program. These and other newly arrived internationals live on campus and participate in the meal plan program.
"All of these students are part of the One Hundred Thousand Strong program recently signed by President Barack Obama which funds and finds partners for student and faculty exchanges," Neves added.
A goal of the office is to have current WNMU students participate in study abroad programs as part of the exchange.
"We want to also send our students to have an experience abroad. No matter what they study, this experience will make them more marketable," said Neves. "We are applying for grants and scholarships for our students to study abroad."
Neves plans to fully develop the functions of the office throughout the academic year and to have a concrete plan in place for new students arriving in the next academic year.
For more information, contact Neves at 575.538.6332 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
