Guest presenter, Rev. Lester Smith, brings Revelation 1-5 to life as he dramatically performs God's word.

1983 - Auburn, Maine. While hiking in Mount Apatite Park in June of 1983, a woman stumbled on the body of 36-year-old William Lester Smith partially hidden under scavenged sheet metal and forest debris. William was part of a mineral club at home in Massachusetts, and had come to the park to search its quarries for treasure.  Two days prior, William had been seen in the company of 16-year-old Jeff Smith. The pair were not related.  It didn't take police long to arrest their suspect. But in the eleventh hour as the trial inched closer, a narrative from the defense emerged that changed everything.  Episode sources and photos: coming soon!

R., Truong, C., Huber, C., Pokharel, P., Hamilton, L. S. Abstract: Speaking elicits a suppressed neural response when compared to listening to others' speech, a phenomenon known as speaker-induced suppression (SIS). Previous research has focused on investigating SIS at constrained levels of linguistic representation, such as the individual phoneme and word level. Here we present scalp EEG data from a dual speech perception and production task where participants read sentences aloud then listened to playback of themselves reading those sentences. Playback was separated into predictable repetition of the previous trial and unpredictable, randomized repetition of a former trial to investigate the role predictive processing plays in SIS. Concurrent EMG was recorded to control for movement artifact during speech production. In line with previous research, event-related potential analyses at the sentence level demonstrated suppression of early auditory components of the EEG for production compared to perception. To evaluate whether specific neural representations contribute to SIS (in contrast with a global gain change), we fit linear encoding models that predicted scalp EEG based on phonological features, EMG activity, and task condition. We found that phonological features were encoded similarly between production and perception. However, this similarity was only observed when controlling for movement by using the EMG response as an additional regressor. Our results suggest SIS is at the representational level a global gain change between perception and production, not the suppression of specific characteristics of the neural response. We also detail some important considerations when analyzing EEG during continuous speech production. Copy rights belong to original authors.

On February 17, former president of the Portland Marathon, Lester Smith, was indicted by a grand jury on charges of wire fraud and tax evasion. In the indictment, Smith, who has led the Portland Marathon as both president and race director since 1982, is accused of embezzling more than $1 million dollars from the race's coffers to fund his personal luxury lifestyle.Today, we'll be looking back at the story of Lester Smith and his time at the Portland Marathon, the legal cases brought against him and the impact events have had on the Portland running community and the Portland Marathon. With me to discuss the facts and implications from the case is Jeff Manning, a runner and veteran investigative reporter from the Oregonian who has followed the Lester Smith case closely since it first broke in 2018. So stick around for a fascinating dive into the Portland Marathon story.In this episode:How Lester Smith evaded detection to misappropriate more than $1 million from the Portland Marathon from 2012-2018Smith's track record at the helm of the raceDetails of Smith's $850k settlement with the Oregon in DoJ in 2018The allegations in the federal grand jury indictment brought against him in Feb 2022The impact the legal turmoil has had on the local community and the Portland MarathonThanks to our sponsors, RunSignup and Racecheck for supporting quality content for race directors by sponsoring this episode.

Enjoy this reading of The Fall of Ice-Reach Castle, an Ice Folk Song by Lester Smith. It was first published in Dragons of the Highlord Skies.

Lester Smith is a stalwart of GDW and TSR, designer of such games and Dark Conspiracy and Dragon Dice! He has a new game out, D13 which uses a D4 and D10 as the core mechanic. Check the game out here! He also explains how Dragon Dice is actually a sonnet in this interview! Ben’s book on RPG adventure design, Encounter Theory, is on DriveThruRPG. Click here to pick up this essential volume! Like Plot Points? Support it on Patreon at the $2 level, and you’ll get a sneak peek into Ben’s book about the sale of TSR to Wizards of the Coast! This chapter concerns TSR West, an effort by TSR to open an LA office devoted to producing comic books, an effort that failed rather impressively. It is the product of a dozen interviews with professionals from comics, gaming, and Hollywood, and as far as I can reckon, it is a tale entirely untold until now.

Three friends run out of gas on their way to their spring break destination. When they look for gas in a strange town, they realize that something strange is happening. This episode uses Lester Smith's D6xD6 tabletop roleplaying game.

On this episode, we welcome Drs. Rosemary Lester-Smith and Spencer Smith to the cast, two professors in UT's Communication Sciences & Disorders department. Dr. Smith is an audiologist by trade and studies speech perception in noise. Dr. Lester-Smith is a speech-language pathologist by trade and studies essential vocal tremor. As dueling clinician-scientists in adjacent fields, they offer unique insight into why it's important for researchers to pay attention to clinical practice and why it's important for clinicians to pay important to research! Oh, also they are both advisors for me and Maansi.Thanks as always to Riohso for our intro and outro music: https://soundcloud.com/riohsoFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/brainwaves_castGot questions?

Lester Smith ('92), an Athletic Hall of Fame member whose football jersey number (15) is retired at The Citadel, is this week's special guest.  Smith discusses the 25th anniversary of the Dogs' historic SoCon title.  And hosts Kyle Weaver and Jeff Hartsell reflect on El Cid's bad loss to Western Carolina; and preview this weekend's rivalry game at Furman.

We conclude our GenCon coverage with four more amazing interviews starting with veteran game designer Lester Smith, Shane Hensley of Pinnacle Entertainment, Monica Valentinelli of Margaret Weis Productions and Wunji Lau of Dream Pod 9. We wrap up with a little pre-show audio from our Episode 200 dinner.

Your EERIE hosts venture to the fabled center of the gaming universe that is the largest four days in gaming, GenCon. Individually and grouped we explore just some of what the convention has to offer, interview (some might say harass) many con attendees as well as game designing legends George Vasilakos of Eden Studios and Lester Smith, formerly of GDW and TSR.
