ACParadise Network: American Cosplay Paradise American Cosplay Experience American Cosplay Snapshots
Hi there!
I'm a wannabe pro cosplayer; I've been doing it for about seven years, and it's definitely more than just a hobby. Rather, making cosplays has helped me decide what I want to do for a living. I always focus on detail and tend choose characters with either similar personalities or physical features, but have started to expand my horizons for specific characters that I'm too fond of to not cosplay.
Often times I sew my own cosplays, though I'm not afraid to spend good money on buying things of quality, either.
I'm hoping to grow as a cosplayer here, and maybe make myself known!

FLORIDA KEYS, FL (WVUE) - Scientists are surprised about a rare catch a fisherman made last week in the Gulf of Mexico off of the Florida Keys.
The scary looking goblin shark is only the second shark of its kind caught on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It measures 18' long.
The species is a deep-water shark that has been discovered off of the coast of all continents except Antarctica. The other goblin shark discovered in the Gulf of Mexico was near Pascagoula, MS. Few species have ever been caught.
The goblin shark is rarely seen at the surface or in shallow coastal waters, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History. Living goblin sharks are usually pinkish white with bluish fins.
The previous maximum reported length of the goblin shark is 12.6'. The shark weighed 463 pounds. It feeds on shrimp and other soft bodied marine life. The fisherman that caught the goblin shark was trying to catch royal red shrimp.
"NOAA biologists encourage people to call and report these rare sightings and catches, as the information they can collect allows them to know more about a species," the National Marine Fisheries Service said in a statement.
The fisherman let the shark go after reporting it and taking several pictures, according to southernfriedscience.com blogger David Shiffman.

Be forewarned when purchasing a retail copy of Dark Souls II. This is not the beautiful game that Bandai Namco has been hyping for the past year. All that gorgeous lighting and fantastic sense of atmosphere you've seen so far? You might be able to experience those on the PC version when it launches next month. For now, console gamers are turning on their home copies and finding a shocking surprise.
JAYSUS CROIST!!! I hadn't seen a comparison yet. That is a massive downgrade! Ubisoft would be proud. I will definitely wait for the PC version then.
Same, wow...
heh, at least the Ps3/X360 version have dynamic shadows. Some next gen games don't even have dynamic shadows
It's been a bittersweet experience playing through this game the last couple of days, for sure.
Having not even seen those videos since they were shown last year, I think it's very telling that I still thought the game looked and performed (aside from those couple of "trouble spots" in the first Dark Souls) significantly worse than the previous two games in the series, even without that recent frame of reference.
I will definitely be upgrading to the PC version when it comes out, if only for the performance gains. Here's hoping they throw some of that beautiful lighting back in as well.
The PC version of Dark Souls was best by far - when modded (I had the PS3 and PC versions). Since the likelihood of the game being dropped on the PS4 is slim, I pre-ordered the PC version as well. Hoping for Mod Support on DS2.
Holy sweet god...I was actually going to go buy it for the 360 tomorrow cause I really want the game and dont have the patience to wait till April....but now....with seeing this, I have zero problem waiting for the PC version. Looks Epic
I feel bad, I was comparing this game to Deep Down and praising the developers for near next gen fidelity on 8-9 year hardware. Seem like a lot of this crap is happening, Sony and Ubisoft are notorious for doing this but it seem like everybody is jumping on the doctored pictures, and running software on the PC claiming its console code.
Comes to thought , maybe they delayed the many times better looking PC version so they can sell as much as they can on the old potatoes?
Well what do console gamers expect? I mean OF COURSE the PC version is gonna look much better... it's just the way it is.
that entirely depends on the pc
You and me , 100 bux , it will look and play better on my Intel HD 4600 integrated GPU :P
I love when people say this.
"It depends on the settings."
You don't say!
Im not even sure what i said wrong haha, i have a powerful pc that maxes out all the games i own, but it cost me 1000 to build my friends alienware which cost 800 cant do the same thing my pc does... not everyone can max out their games and say ohhh look just because i have a pc i automatically got better graphics...
It would have to be downgraded to look like a PS1 game before I consider cancelling my pre-order lol
Very true...and by all accounts everyone has said it looks great for a ps3 game.
I wonder if they wait a few months and offer a gory edition for ps4...make some more money and give us a prettier version.
Either that or there is a souls game for the ps4 in the works...and this was to tide us over.
this is for pc,xbox 360 and ps3 isnt it?
looks pretty good for xbox360 and ps3 imo.
there should be a massive difference in quality too.
was 1st one a ps3 exclusive?
never played it
Demon soul is a sony exclusive. Dark souls is the spiritual successor to demon and was multiplatform.
It's such a dirty tactic...
They even charge the same price, Urgh that makes me feel even more sick.
The mother of downgrades, right there! I'm surprised no one even mentioned this on reviews so far.
Played it for 2hours last night ! It has its obviouse challenges but the visualauls are Ps2'ish. Nothing to brag about! You really need to be a fan of the the game to except those visuals!! Wow
what! for real, the visuals are good for 8 years old consoles... looks better than skyrim on consoles.
Great point! I was being a little to critical about it!!
The point is that From software didn't say anything about the downgrade before the release they just released it. Also some of the promotional videos were advertised as running on a PS3 a month ago with the good graphics then we get this shit WTF!!!
Once again gamers think games are downgraded because the devs feel like it. They did not falsely advertise the game because for one it was an early build and I should not have to tell any gamer what the footage always says and two they did not misconceive anyone with false hopes because that was actual gameplay footage thus downgraded not developers playing mind games.
It is like console gamers dont realize only so much can be done on 8-9 year old hardware.
I have played Darl Souls 1 (modded high res textures) on PC and Dark Souls 2 on PS3 and I thought the game looked superb for a console game. I have only played two old mans warf (it is has the obvious console drawbacks that every good looking game suffers from) and I think many areas look pretty damn good like the area around Cathedral of Blue and the new hub (cant remember name)
Not sure which is worse. This becoming a standard in the industry, or the people defending them doing it.
Thank you. I'm pinning all my hopes on a next gen version.
Defending it?
Developers always label footage with early footage and may change so as I said false advertising is a load of crap. I am just being logical and telling you developers are not showing better footage to get your hopes up rather that is what the game was intended to be but hardware limitations changed that.
I much prefer a game that runs at a solid FPS rather one that jumps all over the place like Demon and Dark Souls which had pretty bad fps. Dark Souls 2 has ran pretty solid and I havr yet to experience any jumps in fps.
Is it odd to think a dev that made a new engine, which is not designed around just consoles, was not sure what they were capable of doing on consoles? Same can be said for Watch Dogs that demoed a PS4 version early.
I am sorry I defend developers I am a gamer, sue me. Should I throw accusations at them and call them out on BS and underplay everything they do.
"Defending it?
Developers always label footage with early footage and may change so as I said false advertising is a load of crap."
So where are the recent videos showing how it currently is? The demos they've done only showed the original version, which looked damn good for current gen. If people went by that and bought it, how do you think they'd feel? Lied to? Ripped off? At least Watch Dogs is showing how it's downgraded before it is released.
It might have been an early build they were showing off, but it's deceptive to not have shown how the game was after it went gold and had a few weeks left till it released.
p.s. Love to see you defend Colonial Marines btw...
The game looks great for a game running in 8 year old hardware. So, yeah, i agree with everything you said.
i think it looks great personally. is it the best looking game ever? not even close but it looks solid for 8 year old hardware, def better than average and very good for a from software game. anyone who is a fan of this dev knows most of their games are lower budget and gameplay comes before graphics like it should and with that said, the gameplay cant be matched.
you guys ( not you the person im replying too ) can complain all you want and worry about your graphics all day, some even cancel your preodrers or purchase because its not pretty enough, ill continue to play.
in fact, i recommend you go play skyrim again, then you can see what happens when looks come before gameplay, that game is a snoozefest but hey, at least its pretty
just announce the ps4 & xb1 definitive edition already
or get the pc one, 35$ in a moth and get the best version.
I played it smart, redbox PS3 copy til I see everything so I can not witness a spoiler, and then get PC version.
It was glaringly obvious that something was off about the game since the last trailer. It looked worse than Dark Souls and possibly even Demon's Souls; most importantly, it looked worse than it did in previous trailers. What about all the gaming videos? Those looked bad as well. Not just the shadow/lighting, but also the animations seemed to have undergone a massive downgrade compared to Dark Souls.
After having watched the trailer, I commented on the graphics being worse on Namco's youtube channel and even got a reply from a Namco rep basically telling me to get the fuck out and play something else if I don't like what I see. Not to mention the nasty replies I got from all the fanbois.
We could have nicer games and be offered better products if it wasn't for the fact that so many people get emotionally attached to them like stupid little kids. Just because I say the graphics are bad and need improvement doesn't mean I hate the game and want it to fail. If we had more people complaining about the graphics (it was obvious even before release that they're not even up to Dark Souls standards), From would have to improve them. They're trying to sell a product -- they should deliver what we want. It's really that simple. Instead we get drooling fanbois pouring napalm over anything even remotely critical about the game and giving From/Namco a free hand to screw us in our collective ass.
nah man, i think its just the majority of peeps, myself included, dont care that much. its not like its hideous, much of it looks really great and the art style is fantastic. personally i think it looks better than demon or dark from what i played so far
plus, im just not much of a whiner. if i dont like something i just simply dont play it rather than complain
It is not an opinion to think DkS2 looks better than its predecessors because it does. Art style or not the game is technically and graphically superior to both.
@Captain Qwark 9
The people who don't care aren't the problem. It's the fanbois and the apologists like LAWSON72 here who care so much about some company's product that they start sounding like they were part of its marketing team, flooding every corner of the internet with their inane drivel.
Releasing a game that looks much worse than it did in the early trailers is not in any way misleading to LAWSON72 or any of his semi-literate, mouth-breathing ilk. He knows that in order for a newly released game to function on 8-9 year old hardware it HAS to look worse than its predecessors -- there's just no other way. But that's not all. Wait a little longer and he'll actually develop the nerve to tell you that even though the game had the entire lighting system present in the two previous games scrapped, it not only doesn't look worse -- it, in fact, looks even better!
That is the problem. Get yourself enough people like him hooked on your game and you don't even need a marketing team anymore, they'll do it all for free and even thank you for the opportunity of helping you sell your product, no matter how flawed.
I am not praising the game for no reasons. The game looks better whether the lighting is worse or not. I wont lie though I would love telling everyone for free to get Dark Souls and give it a chance, same goes for the predecessors. It is an incredible experience that every gamer should try at least twice
The early footage I have seen did not make me go "OMG them visuals are amazing cant wait to play it for them next gen graphics" (which is actually the case for Watch Dogs), probably no one else has either. The visuals are great and this is coming from someone who only played Dark Souls 1 with texture mods. The best part is the game runs very smooth compared to DkS and DeS then again this must be nonsensical drivel.
The game is great and to give it crap for downscaled visuals on old ass consoles is just BS. Clearly they had big intentions with the new engine but just like many new games hardware limitations got in the way. The game looked like that on an E3 demo so it is not like they wasted time making completely different textures to give the wrong impressions. Should they remake early trailers to shut people like you up?
I tell you what if you can prove the newest trailer, https://www.youtube.com/wat...
does not compare to the actual game we will call it a marketing scam okay? That footage looks just like the game however I have yet to see many of those areas. IMO this footage is far from impressive as far as next gen/PC is concerned and should not leave some remarkable impression graphically.
The trailer you linked to clearly shows both, the new and the old lighting system. The actual game looks nothing like it does in (parts of) that trailer, which does make it a marketing scam. A perfectly acceptable one at that, sadly, thanks to people like you who'll argue that making the game look better in gameplay trailers by using different builds than it actually does is a-ok (see Spurg's comment below). Seeing as you couldn't even notice that, it seems you're not just metaphorically blind, and shows the true validity of your opinions about anything graphic related in this or any other Souls game.
look guys...if your gonna impress people you would want to show the best build you have....not the crap ones.
Sometimes you have to use these tactic to get peoples attention and to get press. We live in a industry where there is a lot of competition.
If they are too honest and say that the console build looks worst....people would take it as a huge negative...especially on N4G. If you want to impress a girl would you wear your worst clothes???
Everyone was happy with Dark Souls 2 and then after this they make a fuss about the game not looking as good? It's 8 year old hardware everyone! What were all of you expecting, 1080p at 60fps? Specially with the new graphical engine, light effects and havok clothing. Let's be real.
One quick glimpse trough the ps3 library will tell you that an 8 years old hardware can still have great looking games. I don't have a problem with DaS2 graphics - at all, but this excuse is beyond ridiculous.
I'm really hoping Deep Down turns this genre on its head!
I don't think Deep Down can be stronger that the Souls serious. It doesn't even have an official name for souls sake. "Deep Down" is such a horrible unofficial title.
It was a dirty trick but there's so much worse devs out there so I can forgive FROM for this one. PS3 version it is for me and if they'll ever announce a next gen version I'm going to get that too.
I'm playing it on the ps3 and i didn't see it as bad as the video shows it. Maybe it's just me enjoying the game. This game was never about graphics , PC will always get better versions of multiplatforms but this game graphics isn't something important in the first place. Even pc doesn't look impressive. If pc have a better AI then that's something to talk about in this game..
i didnt think so either. got about 4 hours in and i think it looks really good personally. this video isnt right
That false advertising and the fact that gaming journalist aren't exposing this like that colonial marines footage is baffling.
It's a little surprising that more haven't said anything. Comparing it to Colonial Marines is a bit of a stretch because that game was just bad. Dark Souls II is a really solid game so far. It runs better than the original, and takes everything and just makes it a little better.
I got the PS3 version even though I have a gaming pc just because of the horrible experience I had playing the Pc version of Dark Souls. DS1 on PS3 to me was oneiofthe defining experiences of this gen. All of that got ruined when I playedon oPc and had to deal with invincible hackers, helping ghosts with ridiculously op gear that one shotted bosses, and having people give me maxed out gear as if they were passing out candy. It's true that DS2 is not the prettiest game out there, but this is one time where I will go with a downgraded version just to be able to enjoy the awesome console DS community.
I saw a video that was incredibly low quality that told me nothing. I played the beta, and had no problems with it. The game has a 92 on metacritc. This article is a waste of my time.
This is what happens when a niche-exclusive game tries to be multiplat and appeal to other people. People just don't understand what the Souls series is even about.Let me break it down to you all:
Aliens colonial marines->Developers lied about everything, the gameplay in the trailer wasn't even in the final product, the graphics were horrible (even on Pc)and the a.i. was shit, therefore aliens colonial marines =/= Dark Souls 2.
Ubisoft's games-> hyped beyond recognition in graphics not gameplay to bring in a new generation of consoles (both the old and current gen.), also they are a huge company of developer (unlike FromSoftware). Therefore Ubisoft =/= Fromsoftware.
Go play Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2 and think about something: They were all in the same generation! An 8+ year old generation!
P.S. In a few months Pc people will find something else to complain about even though they only got the last one because of a petition and they sell even less than PS3/Xbox360. (bring on the disagrees)
Still getting it nonetheless. I prefer playing this on console and later on PC than playing Titanfall in the meantime. I just find modern shooters boring and repetitive. Unless they had rideable cows, that would be awesome.
I still bought Dark Souls II on PS3 and PC. I know that technically the PC version will be superior and it will be my main platform for the game, but I have much love for the last 7 years on PS3 with the Souls series.
I remember playing Demon's Souls and thinking the graphics were so excellent. Then after 200+ hours of playing Dark Souls on PC at 5760 x 1080 I went back to play Demon's Souls and it didn't look half as good as I remember, lol. But ya know what, I'd still play Demon's Souls for another 1000+ hours and not even care.
Merrin wants to know are the visuals below dark souls? as dark souls looked pretty good on ps360
Wait, WAIT! you mean the PC version will look... Better?... WHAT KIND OF TOPSY TURVY WORLD IS THIS!?
haha indeed. Either way keep calm and Praise the Sun!
\ [+] /
Not at all. But you'd already know this should you had actually read the article before commenting on it:
"Just to clarify, this is not a comparison video between the PlayStation 3 and PC version. This compares a previous PlayStation 3 version with the retail version that was just released. The build I played at TGS 2013 looks totally different, and it more closely resembled the footage found in this PlayStation Access video."
"previous PS3 version"?... There was another release of this DS2?
Anything pre-release should be looked at as just that, a pre-release version, probably running on a PC if it's being shown off. Now if you excuse me I'm going to go back to my cynicism cave.
I'm currently playing the PS3 version and I have no complaints about the visuals.
Having said that, I hope there'll be an upgrade option to PS4 with the ability to transfer game save data.
\ [┬] /
Played it yesterday on PS3.It looks amazing, the atmosphere, the lighting effects etc. Of course, it doesn't run in 1080p at 60 fps, but it's still an amazing looking game. It's like comparing movies based on which one has better CGI. It's silly,people. :)

No retweet, no surrender.
An Occupy Wall Street protester who was arrested 15 months ago and has made government access to social media postings the center of his legal battle refused to plead guilty yesterday because the judge declined to rule on the admissibility of his tweets.
Malcolm Harris, 23, will instead prepare for a scheduled Dec. 12 trial.
Harris was arrested in October 2011 on the Brooklyn Bridge roadway and charged with disorderly conduct — a violation punishable by up to 15 days in jail.
The Manhattan District Attorney wanted access to Harris' older tweets — initially published but now inaccessible — in a search for evidence that Harris and the other OWS protesters knew they were not allowed on the bridge roadway.
Harris and Twitter fought to keep the tweets out of the DA's hands.
After months of legal challenges by Twitter and the defense, the DA won access to Harris' tweets.
The protester had a deal in place yesterday to plead guilty and be sentenced to time served, but the agreement disintegrated at the final hour.
Judge Matthew Sciarrino, Jr. was surprised when Harris made a last-minute motion to suppress the tweets. Harris was looking for a ruling he could fight after his plea.
Sciarrino refused to rule on the motion and Harris did not plead.
"The tweets are problematic but not insurmountable," Harris' defense lawyer, Martin Stolar, told The Post.
The DA's office said it offered Harris a deal that included 10 days' community service.

Not sure if you remember me but I am the guy who came in and was talking about how the new Asus Rampage 4 Extreme had the 3.3 volt VDD SPD removed from their boards because of a few people putting the DRAM in wrong and taking out the 3.3 volt line. Asus took care of my mother board and the BL25664TB1608.16FF worked fine finally. LED's were working. 4 Channels 16 GB DDR3 1600
So I got bolder and finally got your BLT2KIT4G3D1608DT2TXOB which are 4GB per stick and have a total of 32 GB and these are suppossed to be 32 GB and Windows 7 x64 see;s 32 GB but says 16 GB usable???? Not sure why that is as the Asus Rampage 4 Extreme can handle 64 GB and the mother board see's 32 GB and even windows see's 32 GB but the Usable thing says 16 GB weird. Perhaps it's Windows cutting me off wanting me to Upgrade it. Not sure yet on that still looking into that. Also before anyone ask I have Windows Home Edition x 64 Bit so 32 GB should show up.
Also now I see a problem with your program >>>>>>Ballistix Utility x64.msi <<<<<<< Loaded this on the computer ok but when I go to run it the program comes up with a little box and says "MOTHERBOARD NOT COMPATIBLE" The LED's are flashing on the memory Blue Only. I guess that color must be the Default.
What I am running: Intel i7 Sandy Bridge - E 3930 Running 6 cores at 4 GhZ. 1300 Watt Rosewill Power Supply. Dual Radeon 6970's in Crossfire. Sound Blaster Fatality XFI , If ya need more info than that let me know. But I feel rather cheated here. I got 32 GB but see only 16 of it and your Temp. Change the pattern and Color program does not work at all.
My son has the same setup and Asus has not done the mod yet on his Mother Board. I still have to send his out to Taiwan to have them fix his problem of the 3.3 volt VDD SPD. This new memory BLT2KIT4G3D1608DT2TXOB comes up and Error on his Mother board. His board would not even turn it on I'm guessing because of the 3.3 v line not being on his mother board yet. The older style Ballistix Tracers still do work on his. His DRAM RED LED came on with the new BLT2KIT4G3D1608DT2TXOB in on his Unmodified board. Obviously this BLT2KIT4G3D1608DT2TXOB needs the 3.3v to be there unlike the older style.
Well I know my questions are a bit long winded and not easily answered. but need a bit of help here and possibly answers that I can give to the Engineers at Asus on fixing these incompatiblities. And please let me know why I see MOTHER BOARD NOT COMPATIBLE with this new memory. They light up on my Asus R4E and they are sort of recognized at 32 GB but say 16 Usable?
OK I found my answer on the 16 GB problem. Go figure Microsoft would toss in a limit for Windows 7 Home Users LOL! Yeah bill Gates don't have enough cash. WINDOWS MEMORY LIMITATIONS

I knew there was different limits on things, but didn't know they limited memory like that, that's carzy!!
As for the MOD utility, be sure you have all windows updates installed, including the optional .NET Framework ones. And reboot and check again after installing those if you don't already have them installed, because there will be more updates to them after you initially install.
Also be sure you are using the latest BIOS for the motherboard in case this may be the issue. It might just be because X79 is new though, so they may need to update the utility. You may want to chat with Crucial directly on this and see if they've updated or plan to update the tool for X79 yet.
How are users putting in memory wrong and breaking the 3.3v line you mention?
I see Shamino is helping you, that's always a plus!! That's you right?
Haha, never mind, i see from reading that thread how users are shorting out their boards, that's crazy! I can see trying to insert memory the wrong way, but it's obvious it doesn't go in that way so I don't see how anyone would try go ahead and power up their boards with the memory in only half way and sticking out/up diagonally like it would when inserted the wrong way around!?!?
Isdmeasasp If you know the new LGA 2011 Boards they have 4 DIMM sockets one way and 4 DIMM sockets the other way. on both sides of the the LGA 2011 Socket. yes I have the latest of all mod's and updates. Still I see MOTHER BOARD NOT COMPATIBLE. Yes Old Bill Gates needs more money. I mean in the past Updated say XP PRO was the same as regular XP cept you had more control over networking ect. but to limit the Memory to just squeeze people a bit harder if they want to go up in Memory is **bleep**.
Yes Asus I yelled at them. The Rampage 4 Extreme is their top of the line MoBo. if your stupid enough to put the memory in wrong then you deserve not to have a 500 dollar MoBo. I mean a 911 targa is not made to drive 60 mph cause of 1 or 2 stupid idiots who wrapped themselves around a tree. So I sent my board to Taiwan where they fixed the open 3.3 volt VDD SPD line for me and allowed the voltage to get the to memory. I even sent them memory (my older Ballistix Tracers) to make sure that it worked.
Asus was nice about it and well I got my son the same memory and he has not had this modification yet and the new SMART TRACERS will not even work in his at all. In mine all I have is the BLUE LED's going only And I see the 32 GB but Windows says 16 USABLE LOL Jerks and money hungry people.
Now I have no idea what is left or why the memory is not usable in the CRUCIAL Memory program.
Yes Shamino has been helping from Asus. I try and go between here and there and give them both the whats up to see if we can get this problem fixed. But now I assume this is now a Crucial problem with their Mod Program. The Quad channel Memory perhaps is causing a problem. The BLUE LED's look cool. But I know the Orange running too would really be cool.

Ya, I have a X79 here, so I know what you mean about the slots, it's still no reason for anyone to partially install memory. I mean I guess I could see it happening, but those users would have to be blind seeing the memory sticking out diagonally / sideways and think it's OK to turn the motherboard on. I saw Shamino mention the one side clicking though, and I know some board have slots that actually only click on one side, so I guess users could be used to that and maybe do it, but that still doesn't explain how anyone would think it's installed while at a slant
Haha, I agree on your "If you're stupid enough" comment!
16GB issue may be your OS version probably, you know that already though correct? It's x64 Home premium right? Or were you just yelling at MS there now about wanting your $$ too, and you knew already
As for the tool, see my comments below. And also, I think there is known issues on some x64 OS with it, and some X79 boards, have you contacted Crucial directly via chat? If not chat them up and see what they say, and also add your info and any images of errors you have into this thread

So Shamino fixed the 3.3v voltage thing for you, and tested the memory there while he had the board? If so, why did he send it back if it's not working, how can you be sure it's the utility or memory and not the board itself still?
You know what, I actually want a set of orange/blue too, but I want to disable the orange so it's only blue on the running boards and maybe the top ones too, but sometimes those can be a bit much (I've only had the old DDR3 Blue tracers though, not the ones you can configure, so I might like the blue on top too if I could dim it)
Yeah Isdmeasasp I read that section. But I would hope that since the new X79 chipset has been out for awhile that they are working on something that works with it. you say you have a X79 Chipset. Do you also have Ballistix Smart Tracers? If so does that program work for you? And if you don't have Ballistix Smart Tracers. Try the program anyways and see if it works for you?
Just wondering if this is a X79 problem or a Asus problem. I mean as I stated already Asus pulled the 3.3v VDD SPD lines from the boards because of a few people who put in their memory wrong. As I told Shamino you could also smash the CPU in wrong as well. What are ya gonna do there remove the sockets cause of stupid people? When the memory are longer on one side and not the other how in the **bleep** can you smash them in wrong and it even come close to going in and taking out the voltage lines?
Well I love the memory. Just want it to work right is all. They look wonderful. And yeah I left that link on the second post I made here as to answer my own question that Microsoft needs more money so they limit the users of Home Prem. to 16 GB memory. That is why it says I have 32 GB but only 16 Usable. They want at least another 90 bucks to be able to use that other 16 GB.
Can anyone from Crucial tell me whether or not their program works with X79 chipset? and if not are there in the workings of making a program for it? Can anyone tell me if they have a X79 chipset does this MOD program work with it?

Well just be sure to make a post there so your system is added to the list, and so the thread will get a bump too!
Yes, I have X79 here, but only have the old normal Blue tracers. I'll test the program right now and let you know if I have any issues with it installing or starting up, but I'm not sure if it will even start without the Smart Tracers.
I'll edit this post once I test. I will test with regular older Blue Tracers, and then non-Crucial and see what the outcome of each is. I'll be using the x64 version 11.0.40825.2 (Says 188.8.131.52 on opening), I see it was last modified on 2/3/2012, so it has been updated recently. Check to be sure you have that version, if not update and see if that helps

No dice here either! It fails and say motherboard not compatible, with any memory installed. It also messes up the ACPI tables or MCHBar tables because once it fails, and you close it, you cannot read any SPD data from the memory afterwards until you reboot.
I submitted an issue report here for both of us

The Dodgers, believe it or not, could be in the market for a starting pitcher this off-season. It depends on two things: whether Hiroki Kuroda re-signs and if they don't want to rely on Nathan Eovaldi to be the team's fifth starter. With Rubby De La Rosa likely out for the majority of the season, a veteran could be brought in to keep Eovaldi's innings down -- if he even wins the job out of Spring Training.
They could also be interested in a bullpen arm -- so says Ned Colletti. The only bullpen arm (barring any trades) the Dodgers should even consider going after is another lefty. With Hong-Chih Kuo unlikely to return (mental, elbow), Scott Elbert is the Dodgers' only left-handed reliever.
Who the Dodgers have under contract: Chad Billingsley, John Ely, Nathan Eovaldi, Clayton Kershaw, Ted Lilly
Available free agents
Erik Bedard
Yu Darvish
Aaron Harang
Edwin Jackson
Paul Maholm
Roy Oswalt
C.J. Wilson
The list is a bit longer than one might expect a team with three (potentially four) solid starters on board.
Bedard: Could come cheap option after having a decent 2011 season. He didn't throw at all in 2010 and was considered to be one of the best left-handed starters a few years ago.
Darvish: This one is more for show, as the Yankees or Red Sox will probably pay unreasonable amounts of money for the Japanese talent.
Harang: He was a guy I looked at last year. He signed with the Padres last year and had a solid 2011 campaign. I'm actually surprised they decline his $5 million option.
Jackson: He has some of the best stuff in the game, yet he struggles to get a lot of strikeouts. Now, he doesn't have to strike out nine per nine innings to be successful, but it's still curious as to why he doesn't get more. He does have that "veteran goodness" Colletti loves... and he's a World Champion.
Maholm: He's on this list because he was in Matt Kemp's corner for NL MVP and because the Dodgers were interested in him a couple years ago. If nothing else, he could eat some innings at the back of the rotation.
Oswalt: Once an elite pitcher, Oswalt is now firmly entrenched as a No. 3 starter on most clubs. His high price tag and Type-A free agent status makes a Dodger signing unlikely.
Wilson: Much like Oswalt, Wilson will command a high salary and first-round draft pick compensation. He's probably worth it, but not to a team with pressing needs on offense.
Who the Dodgers have under contract: Steve Ames (minors), Elbert, Javy Guerra, Matt Guerrier, Blake Hawksworth, Kenley Jansen, Josh Lindblom, Shawn Tolleson (minors)
Available free agents
David Aardsma
John Grabow
Mike Gonzalez
Chad Qualls
Michael Wuertz
Aardsma: Had pretty good success in Seattle, but didn't pitch in 2011 due to injury. Could be a nice buy-low candidate.
Grabow: Hasn't been anywhere near as good with the Cubs as he was with the Pirates, but he's probably the most realistic LHP signing for the Dodgers.
Gonzalez: Always had great stuff, but is a little wild. Still, would be a nice addition to the 'pen.
Qualls: Not sure why, but I've always liked Qualls. He bounced back from a miserable 2010 to have a solid 2011 season. Could be a solid pickup at a cheap price.
Wuertz: He was an emerging setup man a few years ago, but has regressed mightily. The A's chose not to bring him back and other teams could be looking to take a risk on him. He'd be the only guy of this group I'd seriously consider signing.
What to do?
I'd definitely take a flier on Wuertz if the price is right. Also, Grabow would be a nice addition to take some pressure off Elbert.
The Dodgers need offense a lot more than they need another pitcher. I'm hoping Kuroda wants to re-sign, otherwise, the Dodgers are going to have to allocate additional resources to finding another starter. The Dodgers' bullpen is solid, but they could use another lefty.

Oswalt won't be offered arbitration, so he won't cost a draft pick.ReplyDelete
Ahh, good call. If he could be had for less than $10M per year for a year or two, I say go for it. But I bet there are a few teams that would gladly give him that (and more).ReplyDelete

FORT WORTH, Texas – A former Texas high school teacher was convicted Friday after having sex with five 18-year-old students at her home.
It took the jury less than an hour to conclude that Brittni Nicole Colleps, 28, of Arlington, was guilty of 16 counts of having an inappropriate relationship between a student and teacher. The second-degree felony is punishable by two to 20 years in prison per count.
Sentencing was scheduled for Friday afternoon.
The former Kennedale High School English teacher had sex with the students at her home over two months in 2011, authorities said.
Colleps is married and has three children. She turned herself in after a cellphone video of one encounter that involved multiple students emerged. That video was shown a trial.
Three former students who testified Thursday said that they did not consider themselves victims and did not want to see their former English teacher prosecuted. The three were football and track athletes.
Arlington police Detective Jason Houston testified that charges were filed because "18 or not, it's a crime" for a teacher to have sex with her students.
Two former students told jurors their relationships with Colleps began with the exchange of text messages that quickly turned sexual.
A 19-year-old testified that he had gone to Colleps' home twice with friends and they all engaged in sexual conduct.
A former student who is now 20 testified that he engaged in group sex and recorded his last encounter on a cellphone. He said initially the students spoke of the importance of keeping their activities quiet because they didn't want their teacher to get in trouble.
The 20-year-old also said when school officials called him into the office to question him in May 2011, he denied the trysts at first because "I was trying to save her."
Colleps' husband was serving in the military overseas at the time of the encounters. Christopher Colleps said Friday that he is mad at his wife, but stands by her "because `til death do us part means `til death do us part."
Putting her in jail would punish him and their children for something they had no control over, he said.
Kennedale is a town of about 7,300 residents near Arlington, eight miles southeast of Fort Worth. The high school has about 3,200 students.


text: "Amazing Life" is an uplifting and motivational piece with acoustic guitar, orchestral strings and upbeat drums. Positive and optimistic track with an inspiring and triumphant mood evoking the feelings of success, strength, hope and well being. This track is constantly evolving, has a breakdown in the middle of the track, than goes back to the triumphal part until the calmer coda ending. Great for commercials, TV, corporate videos and websites.

15. Why is hard work needed to gain an accurate knowledge of God?
This means that, first of all, we must work hard to gain an accurate understanding of God's standards as contained in his Word, the Bible. We are not looking for a list of dos and don'ts to tell us what we may or may not do. The Bible is not such a book. Rather, Paul explained: "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." (
Reebok Print Run ULTK Mens rv988ln
) To benefit from that teaching, reproving, and disciplining, we must put our mind and thinking ability to use. This takes effort, but the result—being "fully competent, completely equipped for every good work"—is well worth it.— Proverbs 2:3-6 .
16. What does it mean to have one's perceptive powers trained?
16 Then, as Paul indicated, mature people "have their perceptive powers trained to distinguish both right and wrong." Here we come to the crux of the matter. The expression "have their perceptive powers trained" literally means "the sense organs having been trained (like gymnast)." ( Kingdom Interlinear Translation ) A seasoned gymnast on a chosen apparatus, such as rings or a balance beam, can perform split-second maneuvers that seem to defy gravity or other natural laws. He has full control of his body members at all times, and he senses almost instinctively what moves he must make so that he can complete his routine successfully. All of this is the result of rigorous training and incessant practice.
17. In what sense should we be like gymnasts?
17 We too must be trained like a gymnast, spiritually speaking, if we want to be sure that the decisions and choices we make are always sound. We must at all times have full control of our senses and body members. ( Matthew 5:29, 30; Colossians 3:5-10 ) For example, do you discipline your eyes not to look at immoral material or your ears not to listen to degrading music or speech? It is true that such unwholesome material is all around us. However, it is still up to us whether we let it take root in our heart and mind. We can imitate the psalmist who said: "I shall not set in front of my eyes any good-for-nothing thing. The doing of those who fall away I have hated; it does not cling to me. ... As for anyone speaking falsehoods, he will not be firmly established in front of my eyes."— Psalm 101:3, .
Train Your Perceptive Powers Through Use
18. What is suggested by the expression "through use" in Paul's explanation about training one's perceptive powers?
18 Bear in mind that it is "through use" that we can have our perceptive powers trained to distinguish both right and wrong. In other words, every time we are faced with a decision, we should learn to use our mental powers to discern what Bible principles are involved and how they can be applied. Develop the habit of doing research in Bible publications provided through "the faithful and discreet slave." ( Matthew 24:45 ) We can, of course, seek the help of mature Christians. Nonetheless, the personal effort we put forth to study God's Word, coupled with prayer to Jehovah for his guidance and spirit, will pay rich dividends in the long run.— Ephesians 3:14-19 .

The math environment differs from the text environment in the representation of text. Here is an example of trying to represent text within the math environment:
There are two noticeable problems: there are no spaces between words or numbers, and the letters are italicized and more spaced out than normal. Both issues are simply artifacts of the maths mode, in that it treats it as a mathematical expression: spaces are ignored (LaTeX spaces mathematics according to its own rules), and each character is a separate element (so are not positioned as closely as normal text).
There are a number of ways that text can be added properly. The typical way is to wrap the text with the

We can now format text; what about formatting mathematical expressions? There are a set of formatting commands very similar to the font formatting ones just used, except that they are specifically aimed at text in math mode (requires amsfonts )
These formatting commands can be wrapped around the entire equation, and not just on the textual elements: they only format letters, numbers, and uppercase Greek, and other math commands are unaffected.
Instructional coordinators oversee school curriculums and teaching standards. They develop instructional material, coordinate its implementation with teachers and principals, and assess its effectiveness.
Most instructional coordinators work in elementary and secondary schools, colleges, professional schools, educational support services, or for state and local governments. They typically work year round.
Instructional coordinators need a master's degree and related work experience, such as teaching or school administration. Coordinators in public schools may be required to have a state-issued license.
The median annual wage for instructional coordinators was $63,750 in May 2017.
Employment of instructional coordinators is projected to grow 11 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. As states and school districts put greater emphasis on student achievement data, schools may increasingly turn to instructional coordinators to develop better curriculums and improve teachers' effectiveness.
Explore resources for employment and wages by state and area for instructional coordinators.
Compare the job duties, education, job growth, and pay of instructional coordinators with similar occupations.
Learn more about instructional coordinators by visiting additional resources, including O*NET, a source on key characteristics of workers and occupations.
Instructional coordinators typically do the following:
Instructional coordinators, also known as curriculum specialists , evaluate the effectiveness of curriculums and teaching techniques established by school boards, states, or federal regulations. They may observe teachers in the classroom, review student test data, and interview school staff about curriculums. Based on their research, they may recommend changes in curriculums to the school board. They may also recommend that teachers use different teaching techniques.
Instructional coordinators may conduct training for teachers related to teaching methods or the use of technology. For example, when a school district introduces new learning standards, instructional coordinators explain the new standards to teachers and demonstrate effective teaching methods to achieve them.

IN MY OPINIONHow QIBA Will Benefit Medical Device InnovationBy SANDEEP N. GUPTA, PhD
ANALYSIS TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES Software Development for Analysis of QIBA DCE-MRI Phantom DataBy EDWARD ASHTON, PhD

How QIBA Will Benefit Medical Device Innovation
By SANDEEP N. GUPTA, PhD
Quantitative Imaging Biomarker Alliance (QIBA) is a public-private
consortium founded by RSNA with the stated mission of improving the
value and practicality of quantitative imaging biomarkers by reducing
variability across devices, patients, and time.
has selected several candidate quantitative imaging biomarkers—Fluorine
18 fluorodeoxyglucose-PET (FDG-PET), CT volumetry, dynamic contrast
enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI), and functional MR imaging—and has started
the groundwork in establishing standards, methods, and processes aimed
at accelerating translation of these biomarkers from bench to bedside.
this article, I make the case that QIBA directly benefits the medical
device industry, particularly imaging equipment and medical imaging
software manufacturers, and is a catalyst for new and improved device
development and innovation. The diagram below illustrates the elements
of a typical medical device development pathway (adapted from a U.S.
Food and Drug Administration/Center for Devices and Radiological Health
white paper on medical device innovation)[1], and the specific ways in which QIBA could impact and facilitate this pathway.
Specifically, QIBA can benefit medical device innovation by:
1. Helping drive the evolution of devices to become more quantitative.
QIBA working groups help establish the clinical
value proposition and identify unmet clinical needs which motivate
investment by the medical device industry in new, innovative products
that improve productivity by being more objective, repeatable, and
2. Setting quantitative specifications and standards for developing devices.
QIBA technical committees are setting quantitative
specifications and standards for acceptable, target, and ideal
performance against stated clinical claims and contexts. These
specifications directly drive engineering requirements for the device
industry that feed into the prototype development pipeline.
3. Providing benchmarking data and helping set performance metrics.
QIBA technical committees, such as the Dynamic
Contrast-Enhanced-MR Imaging, (DCE-MRI) Committee, are making available
reference data (phantom, simulations, clinical data) which can be used
in the device verification and validation process and to assess
performance. QIBA is working directly with other consortia and
organizations and leveraging existing data repositories where they
Facilitating use of quantitative devices and methods in standardized
multi-center studies and clinical care by adoption of common protocols
and procedures.
QIBA helps speed the regulatory pathway for the
device industry by facilitating the use of devices and methods in
standardized multi-center trials that help generate clinical evidence
and efficacy data required for regulatory submissions. QIBA programs
have the potential to lead to the qualification of new quantitative
imaging-based biomarkers and their translation into practice. The
multi-industry, multi-stakeholder composition of this effort allows
companies to benefit from sharing of risk and resources to address this
key aspect of device development. By helping establish objective
measures of site qualification and compliance of the devices to QIBA
recommendations, the sample size and effect size required in clinical
studies can be reduced. Beyond regulatory approval, the evidence
generated will contribute to establishing efficacy in clinical care.
5. Educating the clinical and research community by publishing profiles, protocols, and white papers.
QIBA can lead to wider adoption and increased use of
new quantitative methods by educating the clinical and research
community of these new trends. QIBA is doing this by publishing
profiles, protocols, white papers, and educational displays and
exhibits, which in turn can drive broader utilization and lead to
reimbursement decisions.
the QIBA model of shared standards and cooperation by multiple industry
representatives in the pre-competitive space is not against the
commercial interests of vendors. QIBA helps lay the groundwork for
establishing common minimum standards and procedures that drive
increased use of these new devices. This does not limit the ability of
individual developers to build innovative and differentiated products
that offer proprietary features, workflow, user experience, and
performance. QIBA is well-positioned to be an essential part of the
ecosystem to drive these benefits.

Software Development for Analysis of QIBA DCE-MRI Phantom Data
By EDWARD ASHTON, PhD
ability to ensure that consistent results can be obtained across
different imaging sites and scanner types is one of the keys to
successful implementation of dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging
(DCE-MRI) in a multisite clinical trial. The most straightforward way to
demonstrate that consistent and accurate results are being generated by
a particular scanner is through the use of appropriately designed
imaging phantoms—test objects with known attributes (geometry, T1 value,
etc.) that can be scanned using clinical sequences to test system
fidelity. The most important scanner attributes for a DCE-MRI study are
the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) achievable using a T1 weighted dynamic
sequence, the accuracy of T1 measurement, and the fidelity of the
relationship between changes in T1 and changes in signal intensity.
has developed a phantom and image acquisition protocol to test these
parameters. The goal of this project is to develop a freely
distributable software package to allow the quick and convenient
analysis of phantom test data. The graphic user interface (GUI) for this
package, showing a typical QIBA phantom image, is shown in Figure 1
Figure 1: QIBA phantom analysis GUI displaying QIBA DCE-MRI phantom data.
The analysis software includes four main tabs:
• Region Identification—Methods
to load and save image data, to automatically generate consistently
ordered regions of interest (ROIs) within the 32 test vials, and to load
and save ROI files.
• Signal Intensity Maps—Methods to generate maps correcting for signal intensity inhomogeneity resulting from the use of a phased-array receive coil.
• Dynamic Signal Evaluation—Methods
to automatically calculate band-to-band SNR and ROI-based signal
intensity means and standard deviations for dynamic data acquired using
the QIBA phantom.
• T1 Analysis—Methods
to generate T1 maps using any of three possible acquisition techniques:
multiple flip angles, multiple inversion recovery time, or multiple
repetition time.
analysis tab generates a standard report which can be directly imported
into a graphing or analysis package such as Microsoft Excel. These
reports can then be used to assess the quality of data being generated
by a particular scanner and to determine whether that scanner is
suitable for use in a DCE-MRI-based clinical trial that incorporates the
specifications contained in the QIBA DCE-MRI Profile.

RSNA 2011: Quantitative Imaging/Imaging Biomarkers and QIBA Meetings and Activities
The Quantitative Imaging Reading RoomRSNA
2011 marked the third year for this educational showcase featuring 21
educational exhibits with visual and experiential exposure to
quantitative imaging and biomarkers. These included exhibitor products
that integrate quantitative analysis into the image interpretation
process at various stages of the workflow process, from image
acquisition to structured reporting. Participants learned from exhibits
utilizing informational posters, computer-based demonstrations and
Meet-the-Expert presentations scheduled throughout the week.
The Special Interest Session, "Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers for Clinical Care and Research," was also well attended.
addition, QIBA Technical Committees met for a plenary session where
RSNA Science Advisor Daniel C. Sullivan, MD, updated the attendees on
the QIBA mission, activities, and funded projects, as well as progress
on protocols and Profiles. The five QIBA Technical Committees covering
quantitative MR, CT, and PET modalities also had an opportunity to work
together in breakout sessions on committee-specific projects.
Update on RSNA's 2010 NIBIB Contract for Quantitative Imaging In 2010, RSNA was awarded a two-year, $2.4
million contract from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and
Bioengineering (NIBIB) to support RSNA's quantitative imaging and
biomarkers programs, specifically, QIBA, formed in 2007 to advance
quantitative imaging and the use of imaging biomarkers in clinical
trials and practices.
the diligent work of its funded investigators and volunteers, this
contract supports a coordinated effort to establish an infrastructure
for the collection and analysis of imaging biomarker data. The long-term
objective is to establish processes and Profiles leading to acceptance
by the imaging community, clinical trial industry and regulatory
agencies of quantitative imaging biomarkers as proof of biology, changes
in pathophysiology and surrogate endpoints for changes in the health
status of patients.
of the work done by QIBA committees includes groundwork experiments
with phantoms and human data that will serve as the foundation for
claims to be used in QIBA Profiles. These Profiles will serve as
standardized measuring criterion for the future—to evaluate successful
medical care—clinical and non-clinical alike.
date, QIBA has 26 funded projects through the NIBIB contract with a
small number of projects pending approval. As there is still much work
to be done, further avenues for funding these and future projects are
being explored.

Innovation," by Sandeep N. Gupta, PhD, illustrates how QIBA is already
making a difference by increasing the dialogue and buzz about
standardization, the benefits of quantitation and how quantitative
measurement will ultimately benefit the patient. All of the
sub-activities and projects taken on by QIBA volunteers will ultimately
benefit patients everywhere.

Ishwar Pandey(MP)
If you had to look from the freshness quotient, Ishwar Pandey is not exactly a new-comer. He made his debut 2 seasons ago, but it has been 2012/13 that has catapulted him into recognition. The lanky right-arm pacer had already impressed a select few at the Duleep Trophy final at the at the start of the season with his pace and accuracy. But even his staunchest follower would not have expected a table topping performance from the Madhya Pradesh lad (48 wickets in 15 innings at 21.06). Though his side did not even qualify for the knock-out stage, Pandey's exploits were noticed by the selectors and he was rewarded with call-ups to the India A side which played a List A game against England and the Rest of India side. MP registered just 2 outright wins, and in one of those, against Bengal, Pandey picked up a 5 wicket haul in each innings.
Jiwanjot Singh(Punjab)
Jiwanjot Singh is undoubtedly the find of this year's Ranji season. One might argue that it's too early to throw the spotlight on him, but the youngster himself has displayed extreme calm and maturity whilst topping the run-charts. 5 more runs and the Punjab right hand opener would have scaled the magical peak of 1000 runs in his first ever Ranji season. Apart from Amol Muzumdar and Paras Dogra, Jiwanjot is the only batsman to score 5 hundreds this season, one of them being 213 on debut against Hyderabad. Another important statistic to note, which is a good indicator of his patience: In terms of balls faced he has stayed longest at the crease this year. Still early days in his career, the selectors have ignored him for the ROI squad, but inducted him in the India A side to face the visiting Australians.
Sandeep Sharma(Punjab)
A group of Indian teenagers were the toast of the nation a few months before the Ranji season began underway. Few amongst them were being praised to the skies by names such as Ian Chappel after India's triumph at the U-19 World Cup held in Australia. Sandeep Sharma, a key actor in that team's most crucial wins, was not given as much air or column space as his other mates Harmeet Singh, Unmukt Chand and Baba Aparajith. Hence it is in a way ironical that he has emerged as the 5th highest wicket-taker (41 wickets in 16 innings) in this Ranji season and has comfortably out-performed his U-19 colleagues. What's more, he has the best average (19.41) amongst the top 10. The right arm swing bowler's moment of glory came in the match against Saurashtra where his 7/25 in 11 overs was instrumental in skittling the opponents out for 90 in the 1st innings. Unfortunately, he hasn't found a spot in either the ROI or India A side despite turning out for the same state as one of the selectors (Vikram Rathore).
Aditya Tare(Mumbai)
With the slot in the national team being constantly under focus, this was a good chance for the wicketkeepers across the country to stake a claim. Great things were expected of Wriddhiman Saha and Dinesh Karthik, who seem to be higher up in the pecking order, at least in the eyes of the 5 wise men. But speaking strictly on the basis of performance, Aditya Tare has been the best this year, with Punjab's Uday Kaul coming a close second. Admitting that glovework alone is not the necessary criterion, the 25 year old Mumbaikar has scored the big runs (842 runs at 49.52) and opened the batting in the absence of Wasim Jaffer, for a few games. This isn't Tare's first season in the domestic season. He made his debut in 2009, but the next game he played was his side's opening game this year against Railways. A 222 on the highway of a pitch in Rajkot did his reputation no harm and neither did ending the season with the joint highest number of dismissals.
Manpit Juneja(Gujarat)
Manprit Juneja is one name that might not be noticed this year despite a fine outing with Gujarat. A middle order right hand bat, the 22 year old ended the season with 796 runs in 13 innings at an average of 66. The fact that his skipper and opening bat Parthiv Patel has just 99 runs more than him in an equal number of innings puts his effort into perspective. He isn't exactly a new-comer, having made his debut in 2011 when he scored an unbeaten 201 against Tamil Nadu on debut. But since then he has played just 9 games, out of which 8 have been in this season. His exploits have gone unnoticed, perhaps because of Gujarat's no-show.

Nashua legislator who served time refuses to resignBy SIMON RIOS
Union Leader Correspondent
November 26. 2012 10:33PM
NASHUA - Outgoing House Majority Leader Pete Silva, R-Nashua, is calling on state Democratic leaders to join him in asking the state's first openly transgender state representative to resign in light of recent revelations of a criminal record.
"If I lived in the district I would be extremely disappointed to learn, just days after the election, that my neighborhood was going to be represented by a person that only four years ago was convicted of a felony charge involving conspiracy and fraud and served time in prison," Silva said Monday in a written statement.
Stacie Marie Laughton, 28, says she will not step down. One of three representatives of Nashua's Ward 4, Laughton and two fellow Democrats topped two Republicans for the seats. She's also a selectman for Ward 4.
While she didn't announce her criminal record while campaigning, Laughton said she did not hide the information from constituents when they asked.
"At this point I don't think anybody's going to want to write their rap sheet on the front of their (campaign) literature," she said.
"What I've done in my past doesn't have to define me. I've made mistakes in my past that I'm not proud of, but then again, mistakes are made and I can only move for from here."
Laughton served 4 1/2 months in jail for credit card fraud in 2008, the Laconia Daily Sun reported. The Sun documented a wide array of incidents involving Laughton and her partner and campaign manager, Lisa Laughton, while they were living in Laconia. Those range from a tire-slashing conviction to admitting that she faked illness for an ambulance ride.
Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams said Laughton has kept in touch with him since returning to Nashua.
"That people can be arrested and move on with life and be better people - it happens all the time," Adams said. "Stacie and Lisa tell me they're doing much better down there and I say, 'Great, I'm very happy to hear that.'"
Laughton moved back to Nashua, her native city, in 2008. Her criminal record in Nashua includes four misdemeanor charges for two incidents in 2002 and 2003, filed against Barry Laughton Jr., Laughton's given name. Criminal mischief charges in February 2002 were dismissed by the court. Laughton was found guilty of simple assault in June 2004. According to court documents, the sentence was satisfied by 14 days of time served.
Laughton said she's an example of how the Department of Corrections can help people reform. She said she receives a Social Security disability check and spends most of her time doing volunteer work.
On Monday she was ringing a bell for the Salvation Army.
"Every single day I do something to try to make amends for the wrong that I have caused in the past," she said.

Suffolk, ss. DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW APPEALS
Appeal of:
Robert Whitmore & Betsy Hall ,
v. Docket Nos. CR-06-620, CR-06-625
Teachers' Retirement System,
Appearance for Petitioners:
Ira Fader, Esq.
Massachusetts Teachers Association
20 Ashburton Pl.
Boston, MA 02108
Appearance for Respondent:
Robert Fabino, Esq.
Teachers' Retirement System
One Charles Park
Cambridge, Ma. 02142
Administrative Magistrate:
Joan Freiman Fink, Esq.
Pursuant to G.L. c. 32 §16(4), the Petitioners, Robert Whitmore & Betsy Hall, are appealing the September 6, 2006 decisions of the Respondent, Teachers' Retirement System (TRS), declining to include as regular compensation for retirement purposes the compensation they received for performing additional duties as guidance counselors with the Plymouth Public School System (Exhibits 1 & 7). The appeals were timely filed in accordance with the provisions of G.L. c. 32 §16(4).
A hearing pursuant to G.L. c. 7 §4H was held on April 17, 2008, at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals, 98 North Washington Street, Boston, MA Various documents were entered into evidence at the hearing (Exhibits 1 -17). The Petitioner's Pre-hearing Memorandum was marked as "A" for identification and the Respondent's Pre-hearing Memorandum was marked as "B" for identification. The Petitioners testified in their own behalf. One cassette tape recording was made of the hearing.
Based on the testimony and evidence presented, I make the following findings of fact:
1. Petitioner Betsy Hall commenced employment as a teacher in September of 1968 with the Plymouth, MA Public School System. She became a member of the Teachers' Retirement System at that time. In 1981, she assumed the position of guidance counselor (testimony of Betsy Hall).
2. Petitioner Robert Whitmore commenced employment as a teacher with the Plymouth, MA Public School System in 1965. He became a member of the Teachers' Retirement System at that time. In 1974, he assumed the position of guidance counselor (testimony of Robert Whitmore).
3. Both Petitioners held the position of guidance counselor until each of them retired on June 30, 2006 (testimony of the Petitioners).
4. The Petitioners' duties as guidance counselors included individual student counseling, parent counseling, acting as a mentor teacher, and performing management functions when required (testimony of the Petitioners).
5. The Petitioners worked a number of additional days before school commenced and after school closed fulfilling their duties as guidance counselors (testimony of the Petitioner).
6. During the 2003-2004 school year, 2004-2005 school year, and 2005-2006 school year, the Petitioners worked varying number of days, ranging from eight to ten days each summer, performing guidance counselor duties. They were paid on a per diem basis for this summer work. Retirement deductions were taken from the compensation they received for working the additional days during the summers (Exhibit 12, testimony of the Petitioners).
7. During the three school years in questions, i.e., 2003-2004, 2004-2005, and 2005-2006, the Petitioners were covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the School Committee of the Town of Plymouth and the Education Association of Plymouth and Carver (Exhibit 14).
8. Neither the stipendiary position, i.e., summer guidance work, nor its remuneration was set forth in the Collective Bargaining Agreement covering the 2003-2006 school years (Exhibit 14).
9. During the pendency of the 2003-2006 Collective Bargaining Agreement, the number of extra days worked by guidance counselors in the summer was determined by mutual agreement between the school principal and each guidance counselor. Guidance counselors had the choice of whether or not to work (Exhibit 13).
10. In March of 2006, both Petitioners submitted applications for superannuation retirement benefits with the same effective retirement date, June 30, 2006 (Exhibits 4 & 9).
11. By letter dated September 6, 2006, the Teachers' Retirement System sent the Petitioners formal notification that the compensation they received for performing extra days of work as guidance counselors was excluded from regulation compensation as there was no specific language in the collective bargaining agreement pertaining to this additional service (Exhibits 1 & 7).
12. On September 14, 2006, and September 18, 2006, Petitioner Whitmore and Petitioner Hall, respectively, filed timely appeals of this decision with the Contributory Retirement Appeal Board (Exhibits 2& 9).
The issue in this appeal is whether or not the amounts paid to Mr. Whitmore and Ms. Hall for their extra days of work as guidance counselors constitute regular compensation for retirement purposes.
Regular compensation is defined in G.L. c. 32 §1 as follows:
Salary, wages or other compensation in whatever form, lawfully determined for the individual service of the employee by the employing authority, not including bonus, overtime, severance pay for any and all unused sick leave, early retirement incentives… In the case of a teacher employed in a public day school…salary payable under the terms of an annual contract for additional services in such a school…shall be regarded as regular compensation rather than as bonus or overtime…
807 CMR 6.02(2)(b) of the Teachers' Retirement System regulations specifically excludes from the definition of regular compensation the following:
Any amounts paid for work performed during the summer months unless the member's position in which he/she is employed during the school year requires that he/she work for 11 or 12 months and the annual contract provides for the same (emphasis supplied).
In the current case, the Collective Bargaining Agreement did not require that the Petitioners work for 11 or 12 months per year. Neither the stipendiary positions for summer guidance work nor their remunerations were set forth in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The evidence demonstrates that the Petitioners worked variable schedules for these additional duties and that the number of days worked was not consistent from school year to school year.
The Petitioners argued that they were expected to work additional days in order to perform the necessary duties of a guidance counselor. As such, the Petitioners argued that their decision to work additional days was not voluntary.
Notwithstanding that argument, no evidence was introduced at the hearing to demonstrate that the Petitioners were required to work these additional days. Dr. Carol J. Young, the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources, indicated in a letter to the TRS that during the pendency of the 2003-2006 Collective Bargaining Agreement "guidance counselors had the choice of whether or not to work." Moreover, no evidence was introduced at the hearing to demonstrate that the Petitioners would have suffered adverse consequences had they decided not to work any additional days either before school started or after school ended.
While the Petitioners are to be commended for their long-standing dedication to the Plymouth Public School System, nonetheless, there is no evidence that they were contractually required to work the additional days in question.
The Petitioners also argued that the holding in the case of William Bulger v. CRAB, 447 Mass. 651, 856 N.E. 2d 799 (2006) is relevant to the determination as to whether the stipend they received for performing guidance counselor duties is regular compensation to be used in the calculation of their superannuation retirement benefit. In Bulger, the Supreme Judicial Court held that in determining whether payments to an employee should be used in the calculation of that employee's retirement benefits, those payments must be "recurrent, regular and ordinary" in order to be considered as regular compensation. 447 Mass at 659. In the current case, the payments made to the Petitioners for performing their guidance counselor duties were not "recurrent, regular, and ordinary" as these payments varied from summer to summer, depending on the number of days that each of them worked. Moreover, the Petitioners were paid on a per diem basis for their additional days of work. In Hallet v. CRAB, 725 N.E. 2d 222 (2000), the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court held that "when the Legislature addressed teachers, it provided that only 'salary' for additional services is part of regular compensation." The Court then noted that "If we were to include the plaintiff's hourly payments as part of his 'salary,' we would not be giving force to all the words of the statute." Mr. Hallet was a teacher who, in addition to his normal teaching duties, taught driver's education both before and after the school day. In accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Mr. Hallet was paid for teaching driver's education on a per diem basis.
The Supreme Judicial Court noted in Hallet, supra at 224, that salary as included in the definition of regular compensation refers to a "fixed yearly salary or periodic amount of pay depending upon the period of employment rather than upon the number of days or hours worked within that period." In the present case, the Petitioners' compensation for their additional guidance counselor services depended upon the number of days that they worked rather than upon a specific period of employment.
Since the Petitioners had retirement deductions taken from the compensation they received for the extra days of work, they are entitled to a refund of those deductions.
Based on the foregoing, the decision of the Teachers' Retirement System to the effect that the compensation that the Petitioners received for performing additional days of work during the summer as guidance counselors is not regular compensation for retirement purposes is affirmed.

Andruskevich father, son to be inducted into Holman Hall
For the first time in the history of the Holman Stadium Sports Legends Hall of Fame, a father and son will be recognized during Nashua's July 4th celebration.
The late Joe Andruskevich will be inducted along with his son Greg as part of the event, which was picked up by the Nashua Lions in 2010 after the Hall of Fame was started by the American Defenders.
The senior Andruskevich was a 1938 graduate of Nashua High and was on the first football and baseball teams to play at historic Holman in 1936, two years after it opened.
His son Greg was former sports editor of the Nashua Telegraph before moving to the New Hampshire Union Leader as veterans page editor. The younger Andruskevich still serves as a volleyball and lacrosse official and chairman of the Mine Falls Park advisory commission.
"With Holman celebrating their 75th anniversary this year and the Nashua Lions celebrating our 90th anniversary, we felt having someone who was there at the start of this history making facility was important," club president Elaine Lecius said. "Both Greg and his father fit that mold. Joe began the glorious years of Nashua High football and baseball played here, while Greg captured that history through the pages of the Telegraph."
