About Me
Hello chileheads. My name is Jay Tippett, or JayT as you know me here on TheHotPepper.com. I just wanted to tell you a little about myself. I am a stone mason, a father to a very rambunctious seven year old, and a real little guy born last October, a foodie, lover of all things hot and spicy, and reviewer here at THP. When I was a child I could not stand spicy food. I mean BBQ chips and radishes were fiery to me! Somewhere along the way, I began working in restaurants and discovered chicken wings. Of course, I ordered them mild. Then medium. Then hot. About this time I discovered hot sauces beyond Tabasco and Frank's Red Hot. My first experience with Dave's Insanity left me coughing, sweating, crying, and swearing. But I came back for more. By this time I was in my early twenties, and I met a man named Chip Welsh. He is now owner of Red Lion Spicy Food Co., but then was a coworker of mine. He introduced me to some of my still-favorite things: REAL chileheads like us, hotlucks, different types of fresh peppers, and a whole world of hot sauces from Peppers in Rehoboth, DE, home of the largest collection of hot sauce in the world. I began buying hot sauce everywhere I could find it, which back then was pretty limited. I made annual trips to Peppers, and found spots at farmer's markets selling the stuff I craved. I tried it all. Like any newbie, the first thing I had to do was find the ceiling. How hot can I go? Well, after hundreds of extract sauces, I found my limit. I tried The Source, at 7.1million SHU. I knew that this stuff was not for me. About this same time, I found the HotSauceBlog.com, and TheHotPepper.com. I joined both and that's when I realized that there were so many other people out there like me; I thought I was a freak until then. Well, that's what everyone had been telling me for years. Friends and family always give me a wary eyeball when I offer them something I have made, whether it is sauce or food. Here, everyone is like me. And, at the same time we are all different. I have learned so much about peppers, sauce and growing here. All the while, after literally thousands of bottles, I have continued to love hot sauce. This has evolved for me as I have become more accomplished in the kitchen. Now instead of wanting the next newest, hottest sauce, I immediately start thinking, how can I use this sauce with food? That is the perspective I try to bring you with my reviews. That brings me to today and being a reviewer here at THP. I try to let you try each sauce through my writing and give you my thoughts on the good and bad of each sauce and how you might use it yourself. I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet so many great chileheads, including some of the biggest names in the industry. It has been a wonderful hot and wild ride and I am looking forward to many, many years of bringing you reviews of the newest, brightest, and best in hot and spicy products. Thank you for letting me share this journey with you.
Hottest wishes,

Naked Poppers
Start by putting jalapeno poppers in a smoker until they become soft. Take them out and slice a hole in them lengthwise. Take the seeds and membrane out. Stuff with cheese (I prefer cheddar of pepperjack) and diced pepperoni. Close back up and put back into smoker or on grill for another 5-15 minutes depending on the heat you are smoking/grilling at.
Variation: You can play a fun party game with these called Popper Roulette. Follow the above recipe but include a few drops of various sauces at varying heat levels in the filling.

· Potential beneficial impact on central nervous system in addition to well established action on immune cells
· Recruitment complete for two of three pivotal Phase III trials; recruitment for third study is ongoing and on track
· MS most common neurological disorder in young adults, affecting more than an estimated 2.5 million people worldwide
EAST HANOVER, NJ, October 12, 2007- New preclinical data presented at European Committee for Treatment and Research of Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) in Prague suggests that FTY720 (fingolimod) directly reduces neurodegeneration and enhances repair of the central nervous system (CNS) damage caused by multiple sclerosis (MS) by interacting with sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors (S1P-R) expressed on brain cells. This mechanism of action may be in addition to the established anti-inflammatory role of FTY720 that is mediated by the reduction of inflammatory immune cells, called lymphocytes, from reaching the brain.
FTY720 is a novel, once-daily, oral treatment currently in worldwide Phase III clinical development to test its safety and efficacy as a disease modifying therapy for relapsing-remitting MS, which affects approximately 85% of people with multiple sclerosis.
The potential direct beneficial effect of FTY720 in the CNS is supported by the results of several preclinical experiments being presented at ECTRIMS, including research in animal models of MS and in vitro studies on CNS cells called oligodendrocytes.
In an animal model of MS (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in rats), the administration of FTY720 directly into the CNS resulted in a statistically significant reduction in disease severity. This decrease in disease activity was seen in the absence of a reduction of lymphocytes in the bloodstream, suggesting that the favorable effect of FTY720 seen in this model is due to a direct effect in the CNS that is independent of the effects on peripheral lymphocytes.
In two experiments presented at ECTRIMS, the modulation of S1P-R by the addition of FTY720 resulted in an increase in the number, growth and survival of oligodendrocytes in cell culture. This effect of FTY720 on oligodendrocytes may help limit destruction of myelin and promote its repair and, thus, may contribute to the effectiveness of FTY720 in MS. Oligodendrocytes are cells in the CNS that make a fatty tissue, called myelin, which is necessary for normal signal transfer along nerve fibers in the CNS. Myelin and oligodendrocytes are typically damaged in MS.
"FTY720 crosses the blood-brain barrier and the drug's target - S1P receptors - are present on brain cells, including oligodendrocytes as shown in animal cell studies," said Jack Antel, Professor, Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. "We are able to confirm that FTY720 directly modulates the S1P receptors on human oligodendrocyte progenitor cells."
FTY720 is currently being investigated in the largest worldwide Phase III clinical trial program to be conducted in MS to evaluate further its efficacy and safety as a disease modifying therapy for relapsing-remitting MS. This comprehensive program includes trials referred to as FREEDOMS, FREEDOMS II and TRANSFORMS. Recruitment is complete for FREEDOMS and TRANSFORMS. Recruitment is ongoing and on track for FREEDOMS II and FTY720 regulatory filing is planned for the second half of 2009. For more information about the clinical trial program, including eligibility criteria and location of U.S. study sites, patients can call the following toll-free number: 866-788-3930, or visit www.MSClinicalTrials.com.
"Novartis has a significant long-term investment and commitment to multiple sclerosis and neuroscience through its extensive research and development program," said Ludwig Hantson, PhD, Senior VP for Commercial Development & Specialty Businesses at Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. "We believe oral FTY720 is an exciting and promising experimental therapy for MS as shown by the compelling Phase II data. As an oral therapy with a novel mechanism of action and promising efficacy, FTY720 has the potential to be a significant and innovative therapeutic advance."
Phase II Study Results
The six-month, placebo-controlled Phase II study conducted in 281 patients with relapsing MS in 11 countries (Europe and Canada) showed that oral FTY720, taken once-daily, reduced relapse rates by more than 50% compared to placebo and reduced MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) measures of inflammation with approximately 80% of patients free of active brain lesions.
In patients continuously treated with FTY720 for up to two years (placebo-controlled study plus the extension trial), up to 77% of patients were relapse-free and more than 80% of patients were free of active brain lesions at two years.
In the six-month placebo-controlled phase of the Phase II study, the most frequent adverse events reported for FTY720 were dose-dependent upper respiratory tract infections (mainly nasopharyngitis) and dyspnea, plus diarrhea and nausea. FTY720 treatment was associated with initial dose-dependent decreases in heart rate and expiratory air flow. Clinically asymptomatic increases in alanine aminotransferase (liver enzyme) and an increase in blood pressure were also observed. No unexpected adverse events emerged in patients treated for up to 24 months compared with the six-month placebo-controlled phase. There was no further elevation of blood pressure with continued treatment beyond the effect seen at six months.
The ongoing Phase III study program includes comprehensive monitoring, which will provide further characterization of the safety profile of FTY720.
Multiple Sclerosis
MS is the most common disorder of the CNS in young adults, affecting more than an estimated 2.5 million people worldwide. It is a progressive and debilitating disorder caused by the destruction of myelin, which helps neurons carry electrical signals in the brain. MS causes problems with muscle control and strength, vision, balance, sensation and mental function. MS typically presents in relapsing forms involving acute self-limiting attacks of neurological dysfunction (or "relapses") followed by complete or partial restoration of functions.

Washington hopes the process will result in the border being reopened to NATO supplies, but it's unclear whether the U.S
(AP) ISLAMABAD – Pakistan's army chief held talks Wednesday with top U.S. commanders for the first time since American airstrikes killed 24 Pakistani soldiers last year and triggered a near collapse in the nations' already troubled ties at a vital stage in the war in neighboring Afghanistan.
The meeting between Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and the top U.S. commander in the region, Gen. James Mattis, and the top commander in Afghanistan, 카지노 슬롯 머신 종류 Gen. John Allen, could be a significant step toward rebuilding a relationship seen as key to U.S. hopes of withdrawing from Afghanistan.
Pakistan retaliated for the airstrikes by kicking the U.S. out of a base used by American drones and closing its border to supplies meant for NATO troops in Afghanistan. Public meetings between U.S. government and army officials, previously frequent visitors, have been sharply curtailed.
A Pakistan army statement said the men were to discuss the investigation of the American airstrikes in November on the Afghan border and ways to improve frontier coordination. The talks were being held at army headquarters in Rawalpindi, just outside the capital, Islamabad, a senior officer said on condition of anonymity because the talks were still under way.
Mattis said earlier this month the talks would be about opening the supply lines.
The U.S. has said the attacks were an accident, but Pakistan claimed they were deliberate. It has since sought to refashion the contours of an alliance already hobbled by mistrust and Pakistani anger at American drone strikes against militants on its soil.
Pakistan's parliament is currently debating a revised framework for its relationship with the U.S.
Washington hopes the process will result in the border being reopened to NATO supplies, but it's unclear whether the U.S. would be willing to meet the parliament's demands and whether the parliamentarians themselves can come to a consensus.
The proposed demands being debated include an apology for the airstrikes, an end to American drone attacks in the country and more money for NATO supplies that are shipped through Pakistan. Prior to the blockade, around half of the U.S. war supplies to Afghanistan were trucked over Pakistani soil.
The U.S. is eager to get the supplies moving again because it has had to spend much more money shipping goods by an alternative route that runs through Central Asia. The supply line through Pakistan will also be key to trucking out equipment as the U.S. seeks to withdraw most of its combat forces from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
A stable relationship is also important because Pakistan is important in striking a peace agreement with the Afghan Taliban, whose leaders are based on its soil.
Pakistan would benefit from patching up relations because U.S. assistance has helped keep its struggling economy afloat. The U.S. has given Pakistan billions of dollars in aid since 2001 to enlist its support in fighting Islamist militants.
Washington has expressed regret for the border incident but avoided a formal apology. U.S. officials were reportedly preparing to apologize last month but had to postpone the plan after U.S. soldiers burned copies of the Quran in Afghanistan. President Barack Obama apologized for that, bring criticism from political opponents.
Pakistani officials have repeatedly criticized the attacks as a violation of the country's sovereignty, but the government has helped with some of the strikes in the past. That cooperation has come under serious strain as the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated.
Obama met with Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on the sidelines of a nuclear summit in Seoul, South Korea, on Tuesday. He said the U.S. and Pakistan are seeking a balanced partnership that respects Pakistan's sovereignty "but also respects our concerns with respect to our national security and our needs to battle terrorists who have targeted us in the past."

Special to The PREVIEW
The World Day of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer.
It is an annual movement initiated and carried out by women in more than 170 countries and regions. This movement is symbolized by a worship celebration on the first Friday of March to which all people are welcome.
The goal is to bring together women of various races, cultures and traditions in closer fellowship, understanding and action throughout the year. Through World Day of Prayer, women affirm that prayer and action are inseparable and that both have immeasurable influence in the world.
"Streams in the Desert" is this year's worship theme, chosen by the women of Egypt — host country for the 2014 World Day of Prayer.
This service is sponsored by the Community United Methodist Church, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Pope John Paul II, Saint Patrick's Episcopal Church and the Latter Day Saints Church.
Join us in the worship and luncheon on Friday, March 7, at 11:30 a.m. at the Latter Day Saints Church, 1789 Majestic Drive, 731-2623.
Everyone is welcome. We ask you bring a salad to share.

Browns, yellows, greens, reds
Desired Style:
Eye catching, funky but classy too.
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
I need something that is funky but needs to be taken seriously. Earthy colours such as browns, yellows and greens, dark reds which will set the rural scene in Australia. But also, I need the customer to know that these events will be fun, so maybe  a mad dancer (male or female) dressed in a tux or dress. If the title could be quite bold too, that would be good, but in some kind of nice handwriting text. These will be classy events in the country but events that will be memorable. Also I live in a vineyard region, possibly this could be explored too. Very open to designers own imagination and creativity, colours ideas etc.

This Saturday, November 24, 2012 friends of Coach Bill Squires will gather at Boston College from noon till 3 pm for an 80th birthday celebration. From far out on the California coast, a toast and fond salute to the coach who famously led Boston State College and the Greater Boston Track Club during a career that carried many a runner and team to national and international titles, all with no budget or home track, while revolutionizing marathon training with athletes like Bill Rodgers, Alberto Salazar, Greg Meyer, Bob Hodge and Dick Beardsley.
But it wasn't the Xs and Os of his training programs that made Coach Squires a New England running legend, or that earned him the Bill Bowerman Award from the National Distance Running Hall of Fame in 2002. It was much more than what he said.
How to best explain it?
Well, I guess I could go back to the early `80s and take you on the drive with the coach and New Zealand Olympian Kevin Ryan as we headed from Boston to New York for the Millrose Games, the drive that got the coach talking about his "date" with Hollywood starlet Natalie Wood – or as coach called her, "Natley", in his clipped Arlington, Mass. born accent.
As the coach told it, the date had been arranged by Photo Play, or some such Hollywood magazine. Squires was a miler at Notre Dame at the time, and he and another athlete in L.A. for the NCAA Championships were to escort Ms. Wood and Annette Funicello, the ex-Mousketeer, on a date for publicity purposes.
I could go on and tell you about Coach's reaction after Kevin Ryan caustically remarked from behind the wheel, "Huh. No way a beautiful woman like that would go out with an ugly prick like you," said as he downed another Foster's while zooming at 80+ down I-84, and yet uncannily knowing when to slow down for a soon passing state trooper.
"ME-E?!! " exclaimed the coach riding shotgun, his voice rising two octaves, accent straining in startled indignation. "I was handsome : six feet tall, 160 pounds, blawnnd crew cut hayuh (sic), 100 push ups a day – I had definition in my bawdy! Are you kiddin' me!!???"
I was left in a puddle of hysterics in the backseat.
Or, I could regale you with Coach's story (again indignantly told on the same drive) about how he used to pee in his college dorm room sink in the dead of night, because he didn't want to pad down the hall to the communal men's room. And how after his roommate complained to the good fathers of Notre Dame about the coach's indecorous behavior, how the coach proceeded to present a paper at his disciplinary hearing detailing the disinfectant properties of urine as utilized by soldiers in the Boer War as a weapon's cleaner. And yet, notwithstanding this uncontested testimony, how the coach was firmly instructed never again to use his sink for anything beyond hands and face washing and tooth brushing, and that included no weapon's cleaning.
Sure, I could do that, but why go back that far? (more…)

The month before their second anniversary, Aura died from injuries sustained in a body surfing accident while they were on holiday. Blamed for Aura's death by her family, and blaming himself, Francisco wanted to die too. Instead, her wrote 'Say Her Name.'
In this extraordinary autobiographical novel, Goldman tries to make sense of Aura's death by reflecting on her life and his memories of her. He writes with incredible detail about Aura's childhood, about how they first met, about their life together as a married couple – all the time returning to his unbearable sense of loss. At times, Goldman writes as if he is speaking directly to his wife, at times he is a meticulous observer, painting a picture of her which is so vivid that, on these pages at least, he does manage to bring her very much back to life.
There is also an additional dimension to these tragic events, in that Aura's mother Juanita, blames Goldman for her daughters death. He writes, 'If I were Juanita, I know I would have wanted to put me in prison, too. Though not for the reasons she and her brother gave.'
The final chapters, which recall the terrible and frustrating events which led to Aura's death, are incredibly challenging to read because, unlike most novels recalling such events, these are not a work of fiction. These are real events which happened to real people and as readers who already know how the events unfold, the words on the pages become even more poignant.
Sometimes you may choose to read a book for escapism, for fun or for a moment's distraction. With 'Say Her Name' you read because you are immediately drawn into the tragedy of this man's grief, because you are mesmerised by the life of this couple, and because you care. It isn't easy reading though, because as we discover the depth of Goldman's love for his wife and get to know the amazing woman Aura was – and was destined to become – we are, of course, aware of how the story tragically ends.
I found 'Say Her Name' to be a compelling, moving novel which manages to weave in moments of humour among the sadness. It is a book which is well worth taking the time and effort to read this autumn.
Francisco Goldman is the author of four books – three works of fiction (The Long Night of White Chickens, The Ordinary Seaman, and The Divine Husband) and one work of non-fiction, The Art of Political Murder.
His fiction and journalism have appeared in the New Yorker, Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, The New York Review of Books, Outside, and many other publications. He lives in New York City and Mexico City.

A slow-moving chilly storm is creeping across the U.S. AgDay meteorologist Mike Hoffman says cold air is wrapping around this storm system, resulting in highs only reaching the 30s and 40s in the Dakotas and Great Plains.
Watch AgDay's weather forecast for April 29:
A low-pressure system centered near the Iowa-Missouri border will drift northeastward into the Great Lakes region by Thursday and into eastern Canada by week's end, according to USDA's agricultural weather highlights. Severe thunderstorms will remain a significant threat today in the Southeast, including already hard-hit areas of Mississippi and Alabama. The severe weather threat will shift eastward to the Atlantic Seaboard by May 1.
Meanwhile, additional rainfall totals could reach 3 to 6 inches in the middle and southern Atlantic States. In contrast, dry weather will prevail for the remainder of the week from the Pacific Coast to the southern Plains. An early-season heat wave will accompany the dry weather in the Pacific Coast States, with warmth expanding as far east as the central and southern High Plains during the weekend.
The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for May 4-8 calls for below-normal temperatures across the northern half of the U.S., while warmer-than-normal weather will prevail from the Great Basin into the lower Mississippi Valley. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal precipitation across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with drier-than-normal conditions across the nation's southern tier, including the southern High Plains and the southern Atlantic States.
Regional Weather Outlooks
In the West, dry weather prevails. Rising temperatures in the Pacific Coast States contrast with a lingering chill farther inland. In fact, freeze warnings are in effect early today in several areas, including parts of Utah, New Mexico, and western Colorado.
On the Plains, unusually cool, windy weather persists. Unfavorably dry weather prevails on the southern High Plains, while scattered rain and snow showers dot the central and northern Plains. Snow is most prevalent across the western Dakotas and northern Nebraska, where temperatures are hovering near the freezing mark.
In the Corn Belt, fieldwork remains at a virtual standstill due to cool, showery, breezy conditions. This morning's temperatures are below 40°F in the upper Midwest, where significant rain is occurring. During the week ending April 27, producers were able to plant more than one-fifth of their intended corn acreage in Illinois (27%) and Missouri (21%). Nationally, a little more than one-eighth (13%) of the corn was planted last week.
In the South, following a second night of deadly tornadoes, severe thunderstorms persist. Currently, some of the strongest storms are rumbling across Georgia and western Florida. Meanwhile, dry weather has returned to the western Gulf Coast region, allowing some fieldwork to resume.

|Hi everyone!
Boy, it's been a while and a lot has happened since the last couple posts. When I wrote my Guardian gear guide, I had just found a job and started working in earnest. Now that my boyfriend and I have moved and settled in, I find I have a little extra time to write.
In game we've been fairly busy, I've been tanking as one of three main tanks for Apotheosis and we are now 7/16H! We snagged a heroic server first kill along the way, and are currently dancing with Qin-xi and Jan-xi until we beat them into the floor. (And we're recruiting, come check us out!)
|I got my green dragon,
I tried out Brawler's Guild and was horrifically embarrassed when I got pecked to death over and over by Dippy. I think I've been scarred for life. I don't want to go moonkin on my druid and many of the fights favour ranged over melee. I may need to get my priest some shadow gear and try that.
|And I washed my yak.
The thing that's held my interest for some time has been Challenge Modes. I recently got my Challenge Conqueror: Silver on my druid and got to pick my pretty phoenix! The really awesome thing about Challenge Modes is that as a guild, we've been rotating groups and people through to try and get everyone at least Silvers so we can all get phoenixes. We had one group get Realm First Challenge Conqueror Gold, and that spurred a lot more people to get involved.
|Pretty biiiird, pretty biiiird.
I've tanked every CM on my druid and healed some of them on my priest. It's my intent to heal all of them on Kaleri and I have a group interested in Golds so we're shooting for that. I've thought about tanking Gold CMs, but you really need a set group and swapping folks in and out (the way I got my silvers) isn't ideal.
I'd like to blog a little more about Challenge Modes in a future post, not guides but more what they were like and how I felt tanking as a druid and healing on my priest. Stay tuned!
|Flying off into the sunset

early world
I sometimes think my vision of the sea is the clearest thing I own. I pick it up, exile that I am, like the purple 'lucky stones' I used to collect with a white ring all the way round, or the shell of a blue mussel with it's rainbowy angel's fingernail interior; and in one wash of memory the colors deepen and gleam, the early world draws breath. (from Ocean 1212-W - Sylvia Plath)
For Plath, the sea. For me, the cold Canadian lakes - some of which were so big they seemed like the sea. And the little sandy shored, pine-ringed lakes that we'd drive to on a weekend; my legs swinging and sticking to the leather beneath my short 1970s dresses. The regular peel and slurp of skin released from leather mingled with the car radio and my own low singing. Sometimes, to fade out raised voices in the front, I would sing harder. As we drove, I watched for patterns in the clouds that dominated the big skies. Some days, there would just be blue. A bright dazzle - just blue and the yellow disc of sun.
At the lake, the first slap of cold against hot summer skin. The scent memory of sun cream and pine, earthy lake water and the rubbery swim hat I was sometimes made to wear. Then into the water and the freedom of moving further away from my non-swimming parents. My dad taught me to swim by making me arrow towards him underwater; and as he gradually moved further away I found myself to be a swimmer. The transition from the speed and grace and cool shadow underwater to the splash and struggle of swimming in the air was one I made reluctantly. So when the shouts and splashes and noises of a busy beach began to drown out my daydreams, I'd happily submerge and swim long, slow pulls underwater. That water is glass green in my memory, striped at intervals by the sun.
My early world, encapsulated by those lakeside moments, is tucked inside my own seashell - ready to open at any time. I'm opening it now.

Spoiler Note: Keep in mind that this article will discuss some of the endings and various details. Read at your own risk.
Things are heating up over on the Bioware Social Network as more details emerge about the development process of Mass Effect 3. In a thread titled "Mass Effect 3: Final Hours [Pictures removed due to Copyright]" some fans have pieced together why some of the plot holes exist. There's no clever ending being planned, or any indoctrination sub-plot that was being speculated, but rather just some terrible writing pieced together at the last minute.
Geoff Keighley, best known for his shameless work on Gametrailers and the Spike Video Game Awards has released an iPad app called Mass Effect 3: The Final Hours. Detailed is a plethora of information that is sure to put even more fire in the bellies of Mass Effect and Bioware fans around the world.
Below is a bunch of information taken directly from the thread. Keep in mind that it's paraphrased by the forum member.
[quote]Mac Walters on the Star Child/Reapers
"Originally, with the catalyst, the star child at the end of the game, I had written that much more in the guise of a investigative style conversation, where there is something he tells you but then, you get to ask a bunch of questions and you get your questions answered. But then me and Casey talked and decided, lets keep the conversation "High level". Give you the details that you need to know, but don't get into the stuff that you don't need to know. Like "How long have they been reaping?" You don't need to know the answers to the mass effect universe. So we intentionally left those out"[/quote]
[quote]Casey on after Mass Effect 3
"Whatever we do would likely happen before or during the events of Mass Effect 3, not after"[/quote]
[quote]Casey on the End Boss
'We had the final fight with the Illusive man in the game, but it just felt very Video Gamey. It didnt fit in with the themes. And really, is there a point of the end boss if only for the sake of an end boss?'[/quote]
[quote]On Tali's Face
We eventually decided that she gives you a memento of her pictures, but the team was throwing around a lot of pictures and designs until we decided on something and said "Yup, that's her".)[/quote]
[quote]On Deciding the End of the Game
The illusive man boss fight had been scrapped… but there was still much debate. 'One night walters scribbled down some thought on various ways the game could end with the line "Lots of speculation for Everyone!" at the bottom of the page.'[/quote]
[quote]On delaying the game
In March 2011, he also faced a roomful of Mass Effect developers who expressed concern about hitting the promised holiday release date… New release date set for March 2012. After much deliberation, the CAT mission (or rather, the Prothean mission) had to be removed from the set of tasks. The missions would later be completed as post-release content"[/quote]
[quote]The article also states 'Although art was created for this sequence, it was ultimately dropped because it felt too predictable to end the series on a massive boss battle.'[/quote]
[quote]In truth the final bits of dialogue were debated right up until the end of 2011. Martin sheen's voice-over session for the illusive man, originally scheduled for August, was delayed until mid-November so the writers would have more time to finesse the ending.[/quote]
[quote]And even in November the gameplay team was still experimenting with an endgame sequence where players would suddenly lose control of Shepard's movement and fall under full reaper control. (This sequence was dropped because the gaemplay mechanic proved too troublesome to implement alongside dialogue choice[/quote]
What does this mean?
Well it certainly leads credence to many of the fans worst fears. Given Casey Hudson's recent comments about the ending it seems even with these new developments that Bioware is satisfied with the current endings. It just seems utterly baffling that Bioware thought any of this was a good idea.
What do you think about these latest developments? Let us know in the comment section.

Michael Lohan -- Turns Down Burger King Job for Radio Gig
Michael Lohan Turns Down Burger King Job ... for Florida Radio Gig
Michael Lohan and The Whopper weren't meant to be after all ... TMZ has learned Lindsay's dad has decided to pass on the Burger King gig ... and instead, he's accepted a job at a Miami radio station.
TMZ broke the story ... the treatment center where Lohan is seeking court-ordered counseling told Michael to get a job to help transition back into normal functioning society.
(Reminder: Mike was ordered to complete treatment as part of his plea deal in his domestic violence case)
Mike had initially applied to BK ... but he's since found a better gig with the WiLD 95.5 radio station in Palm Beach, FL. We're told Mike will primarily take on the grunt work ... but we wouldn't be surprised if they featured him on air from time to time.
The pay isn't bad either -- $8.25 an hour ... 50 cents more than he would've made at Burger King.
But he won't be spending it all in one place ... or at all ... 'cause we're told MiLo is planning to donate his entire paycheck to charity.
Waiting for your permission to load the comments.

Turner, James
20 Dec. 1766–15 Jan. 1824
See also: James Turner, Research Branch, NC Office of Archives and History
James Turner, farmer, legislator, U.S. senator, and governor, was born in the part of Bute County that became Warren County in 1779. His father, Thomas, a farmer, had lived in Granville County since at least 1754; Bute was formed from Granville in 1764. By 1790 James Turner had twenty slaves; two plantations, Bloomsbury near Warrenton and Oakland near Williamsboro, were associated with the family.
Turner received scant education in local academies. As a teenager he served as a private in a local volunteer company that marched with General Nathanael Greene's army in 1781 during the last campaign of the Revolutionary War. An older neighbor, Nathaniel Macon, was in the same company, and a circle of young men soon forged ties of political interest that lasted a lifetime. By the time that Turner was elected without opposition as a Warren County member of the House of Commons in 1797, he was already identified with the "Warren junto," the name applied to Macon's adherents.
Turner served three terms in the house and then went to the state senate in 1801. He was reelected in 1802, and when governor-elect John B. Ashe died before taking office, Turner was the legislature's choice for governor. He was reelected for one-year terms in 1803, 1804, and 1805. His terms coincided with a period when the Jeffersonian Republican party took a firm grip on state affairs. His three gubernatorial messages to the Assembly were noteworthy mainly for their short passages expressing the Jeffersonian belief that education was a necessity for a free society. But they were devoid of concrete suggestions for public support of education and were not acted upon by the legislature.
When Montford Stokes declined to serve after having been elected, the state legislature sent Turner to the U.S. Senate on 21 Nov. 1805. Turner resigned as governor to join a Washington delegation from North Carolina dominated by Macon, then Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Although he stayed in a Capitol Hill boardinghouse that was also quarters for Macon, Turner showed some independence from his friend when Macon became a leader of a "Quid" Republican opposition to Jeffersonian policies. He embraced the Louisiana Purchase and staunchly supported the conduct of the War of 1812, unlike his North Carolina colleague, David Stone. Turner did not play an active role in Senate affairs, only being listed once as a committee member and that on the Committee on Enrolled Bills.
His service was increasingly mortgaged to bad health, and when he was unable to leave for the session of 1816, he sent a letter of resignation, dated 21 Nov. 1816, to Governor William Miller, another Warren County neighbor. Turner took no further active part in politics and died at Bloomsbury, where he was buried.
Turner was married three times and survived by his third wife. In 1783 he married Mary Anderson of Warrenton, and they had four children: Thomas, Daniel, Rebecca, and Mary. She died in 1802, leaving, according to her obituary, "a smiling race of pratlers." Anna Cochran became Turner's second wife in 1803; she died in 1806. He married Elizabeth Johnston, widow of Dr. William Johnston, in 1810, and they had two daughters. Their daughter Rebecca married George E. Badger, of Hillsborough, later a congressmen and secretary of the navy in the administration of President Benjamin Harrison. Turner's son Daniel was a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, an officer in the War of 1812, and a congressman in 1827–29.
This article states that Turner's son-in-law George Badger was Secretary of the Navy under President Benjamin Harrison, however Badger was appointed secretary of the Navy by President William E. Harrison in 1841. Badger was reappointed to the post under President John Tyler.

I wanted to know the names of the slaves that he owned. I believe that I am a descendant of one of his slaves. If I can connect the dots on this I will be closer to pinpointing where my family came from. If he had any siblings that information would be helpful as well.

Hi David pls contact me. I also have info that I'm connected to this plantation. Maybe we have the same relatives. Thanks!
A few small corrections to
A few small corrections to the last paragraph. First, according to Moore and others, James Turner married his first wife in 1793, not 1783 (when Turner would have been only sixteen or seventeen). In addition, Rebecca Turner Badger (1799-1824) was the daughter of James and this first wife Mary, not Turner's third wife Elizabeth Johnson -- as is suggested by this article. Finally, Rebecca's husband George E. Badger was later a U.S. Senator and was Secretary of the Navy under Presidents William Henry Harrison and John Tyler, not Benjamin Harrison.
I am confused by the article on James Turner.
All the references (except these two) state that Turner was born in Southampton County, Virginia. These two say Bute (later Warren) Co. NC.
I see sources listed, but all state Southampton County, VA as place of birth.
Can you give me the reference that states Bute (later Warren) Co?
Hi William,
Hi William,
Thanks for visiting NCpedia and taking the time to highlight this incredibly excellent question.
Quality sources and providing readers with those sources are an important part of what make NCpedia a great resource. Unfortunately, historical sources and researchers are not always in agreement. You've helped us highlight this really important part of historical research. At NCpedia we also make a commitment to updating entries when we have new, relevant, or better information. Your question will help us continue this effort.
And at the moment, I don't have an answer to your question! This will take some additional research. I have also responded to you in email and will update you when we have some clarification.
You may also be interested in an additional entry on James Turner in NCpedia, written by an historian at the NC Office of Archives and History. He also indicates the Warren County birthplace but also cites the sources you point out that indicated Virginia.
Thanks for your question and contribution!
Kelly Agan, NCpedia staff, Government & Heritage Library

One out of every five human beings alive is Chinese. China's area is incredibly vast — only Russia and Canada are larger. Its history stretches back to the earliest days of settled man. The four areas in which civilization first took root were the Nile area of Egypt, the Sumerian area around the Fertile Crescent where the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers meet, the Indus River in western India, and the Yangtze River in China. People in the first three areas had significant contact with each other; however, the Chinese civilizations developed largely independent of the other three, looking eastward toward the Pacific Ocean rather than south and west toward the Indian Ocean.
Europe and the rest of the West have long been anticipating what would happen when China "awoke." There is little doubt that the industrious and thrifty people of China, formed closely around strong family life, and living in a society which first gave the world many technological breakthroughs — the magnetic compass, gunpowder, the printing development known as movable type, among other inventions — could be as powerful as any nation on the planet. Whether that power would be used to good or for ill has been an important question over the last few centuries.
For several hundred years Christians have viewed the conversion of China to Christianity as extremely important. Countless missionaries to this vast Asian land selflessly devoted their lives to this goal. Some of them, such as young John Birch — who was born in Asia and died in China — gave their lives for the sake of the souls of the Chinese and the battle against totalitarianism, first Japanese Imperialism and then Mao's Marxism. John Birch, killed in an ambush by Chinese Communists several days after the end of World War II, was the first victim of the Cold War.
One hundred years ago, January 1, 1912, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen (pictured above), trained in Christian universities and quite familiar with America, brought unity, independence, and Christian faith to his homeland, and the Republic of China was born. Chinese workers all over the world, visited by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, gave pennies from their hard-earned wages to help support the establishment of a China controlled by the Chinese people.
The policies of the new republic were prudent and bore some resemblance to what Americans had established with their new republic. The Chinese Republic sought no territorial aggrandizement and desired no empire. Although there were outstanding issues — such as the Japanese presence in Korea and Taiwan, the British in Hong Kong, and the Portuguese in Macao — the Chinese republican government sought negotiations to resolve those questions.
Dr. Sun selected Chiang Kai-shek to replace him as head of the Party of the People (usually translated by those who try to portray Chiang in a negative light by the more sinister-sounding name "Kuomintang.") Chiang visited Japan, Moscow under the Bolsheviks, and the United States as well. Although he welcomed help from any nation that offered it, he soon realized that the communists within the Kuomintang could not be trusted, and he suppressed them.
What followed was a long, bloody struggle in which American communists helped sabotage Chiang and the Kuomintang through a variety of malicious tactics. Gold promised by Congress to support the currency of the Chinese Republic was withheld until it was too late. Mao Tse-tung was glorified in America as an "agrarian reformer" while Chiang was demonized as a medieval warlord. China, whose help was indispensable in WWII, was excluded from the major summits (while Stalin, who helped Hitler for much of the war, was given a seat of honor).
The dream of a free, Christian Republic of China was lost in 1949, when Mao's communist armies drove Chiang out of the mainland to the island of Taiwan. Chiang's forces had been denied weapons through an embargo declared by General George Marshall of the United States. Marshall boasted of having disarmed 39 of Chiang's divisions "with a stroke of his pen."
Over the last 63 years, the world has been afforded a clear view of the difference between the two governments. Taiwan, the Republic of China, has a per capita GDP about six times greater than that of the so-called "People's Republic of China." Taiwan has a functioning democratic government, and no Bamboo Curtain was ever required to keep Taiwanese from leaving the island. Though Mao was perhaps the greatest mass murderer in human history, Chiang engaged in no such actions. While he governed China, Chiang negotiated practical autonomy for Tibet; it was only after Mao took control that the genocide in Tibet began.
The United States fought two hot wars in Asia after WWII, and tens of thousands of young American men lost their lives on the frigid hillsides of Korea or in the fetid rice paddies of Vietnam in wars that would never have started if a peaceful and free Chinese Republic had been right next door. China under Mao fought a war with India in the early 1960s. Mao also engaged the Soviet Army in border clashes near the Amur River in the late 1960s. His successors fought a short war against Vietnam in the late 1970s.
While the world watched, brave Chinese students created their own replica of the Statute of Liberty at Tiananmen Square in 1989, only to have tanks of the Chinese Communist government intervene, as thousands of idealistic Chinese were hauled off for long terms in slave labor camps. Today China dumps goods made by those wretched slaves onto the markets of economies with free workers, and it attempts to tinker with free markets by creating monopolies on rare earth metals and then implementing quotas to limit the amount that non-Chinese companies may acquire.
The cost to the Chinese people and to rest of the world of having an enslaved, Marxist China has been staggering. But 100 years ago, in January 1912, it looked as if the dream of a prosperous, peaceful, free, and Christian China — with all the benefits that this would have brought to the whole world — would last much longer than half a century.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Facebook Inc. took the tech sector spotlight Thursday as Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg used a company event to show off Facebook's new efforts to make inroads in the mobile-phone market.
Facebook FB, -0.15% shares rose 82 cents, or more than 3%, to close at $27.07 as Zuckerberg showed off Facebook Home, a new home screen for Google Inc.'s GOOG, +0.43% Android-based smartphones that includes a collection of apps, and features such as Cover Feed, which will stream updates and photos as part of the home screen.
Zuckerberg said the purpose of Facebook Home is to give Android users a "more social, connected device."
The HTC First will be the first phone to come with the new Facebook apps and technologies, and will be available on April 12 from AT&T Inc. T, -1.22% for $99 with a two-year contract. Preorders can be made starting Thursday.
In addition to Facebook, gains also came from Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ, +1.76% Adobe Systems Inc. ADBE, +0.12%, Intel Corp. INTC, -0.89% and Yahoo Inc. US:YHOO.
After wavering through most of the day, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.22% rose 6 points to 3,224. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, -0.32% rose 1.3% and the Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index US:MSH eked out a small gain.
Microsoft Corp. MSFT, -0.15% came back from being in the red most of the day to rise 4 cents a share and close at $28.59. Before the market opened, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch analyst Kash Rangan cut his rating on Microsoft to neutral from buy, an cut his price target on the stock to $33 a share from $35. Rangan based his downgrade in large part on what he sees as a lack of momentum in Windows 8 operating system sales.
Apple Inc. AAPL, -1.94% was off by $4.27 a share, or almost 1%, to close at $427.72 even though Lazard Capital Markets analyst Edward Parker started coverage of the company with a buy rating and $540-a-share price target.
Parker had a different take on Apple, calling it a "storage company" by "delicately but deliberately incenting customers to purchase NAND flash memory at 80%-90% incremental margins."
Parker went on to say that "Apple is not only levered to data creation, but instrumental in driving data creation in ways its competitors aren't. We believe this framework helps to suggest why Apple's outsize profits are sustainable even as competitors continue to close the gap with respect to device capability and quality."
Netflix Inc. NFLX, +1.83% shares fell almost 2%, to $166.69, after giving up almost 4% on Wednesday. The Blu-ray and DVD sets of the company's original series, "House of Cards" are slated to go on sale June 11.
On Wednesday, Time Warner Inc. US:TWX launched Warner Archive Instant, its own rival video-streaming service to compete against Netflix.

Story highlights
- Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers in China to play exhibition matches
- NBA is still hugely popular among China's basketball-mad population
- The professional U.S. league has more than 50 million followers on Weibo
- China's own pro league has long contributed players to the NBA
Miami Heat superstar LeBron James on Thursday led the reigning NBA champions into the first of two pre-season matches staged in China against the Los Angeles Clippers.
He lived up to the considerable hype that surrounds him.
Just a few minutes into the game, James made five straight points, punctuated by a big dunk, to the delight of the thousands of Chinese fans who packed the arena in Beijing chanting "MVP, MVP!"
The man dubbed by many as the world's top player notched 20 points, as the Heat beat the Clippers 94-80.
The two teams will play again on Sunday in Shanghai.
Local fans here were treated to an NBA-style mix of basketball and entertainment, featuring cheerleaders, mascots and DJs egging the crowds to applaud and do "the wave."
James is well-known in China for being part of the Team USA that won gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Basketball-mad Chinese fans watch him regularly in NBA games televised by local sports channels here.
In an exclusive interview with Talk Asia, scheduled to air on CNN soon, James noted the Chinese love for the game. "Here in China they haven't seen the game up close and personal the way we have in the States," he said.
"They're always excited about the game, no matter where it's played, no matter how it's played, what level it's played at and you can have a great deal of respect for that.
"This is my ninth time in this country and every city I've been to has welcomed me with open arms," he added. "Either playing a game of basketball, teaching or inspiring the game of basketball, there's been some great opportunities for me and there have been some great times with the kids here who love the game of basketball."
He then credited Chinese former NBA star Yao Ming as a role model.
"That's the most inspiring thing," James said. "Not only was Yao in their backyard, he could also really play the game at a high level so it definitely helps a lot of kids as far as saying 'I can do this and I can do it at a high level.'"
The NBA is one of the most followed sports leagues in China -- its account even has 52 million followers on Weibo, China's Twitter-like social network site.
James was joined on court Thursday by teammate and fellow superstar, Dwayne Wade, who has been recovering from off-season knee surgery, but played for several minutes even though it was only an exhibition game.
Wade even wore a pair of Li-Ning sneakers, just days after signing an endorsement deal with Chinese sportswear company of the same name. The Beijing-based company is giving the Miami star his own line of shoes.
The Heat point guard becomes the biggest NBA name to endorse the Li-Ning brand since his former Miami teammate Shaquille O'Neal.
But he's not the only NBA star to endorse Chinese products.
Heat forward Shane Battier has endorsed Chinese sneakers brand Peak since 2006.
On the playing front, there has long been a well-established connection between the NBA and the China Basketball Association (CBA), the local professional league founded in 1995.
Several Chinese players, such as Yao, played in the CBA before moving on to the NBA.
In 2011, the NBA and CBA launched a basketball academy to help train more coaches and players.
During the NBA lockdown last year, caused by dispute between NBA players and owners, several stars, including JR Smith and Wilson Chandler, played for Chinese teams in the CBA.
China has also emerged as alternative destination for former NBA stars in the twilight of their career.
Tracy McGrady, 33, has reportedly signed a one-year deal to play this season with CBA side, Qingdao.
The former All-Star, who has played with several NBA teams including the Houston Rockets, finished last season with the Atlanta Hawks. His long-time team up with now retired Houston Rockets center Yao made McGrady a popular figure in China.
Qingdao has never made it to the CBA finals.
His appearance in the CBA is expected to attract more fans to domestic games.
"I am happy for him," James said. "It will be good for the game." James says he follows the CBA and said the league is "very good and growing big."
With no Chinese stars currently plying their trade in the NBA, there's a huge opportunity for the country's homegrown stars to show the world what they're missing.

Sony will release a boxed set of all three console Killzone games on October 23 for $US40, the company revealed today, saying the first one, which was made for the PlayStation 2, will be getting a 720p upgrade.
This is just the latest in PS3 bundles. Previously, Sony has sold God of War, Ratchet & Clank, Team Ico, Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter collections, bringing a whole lot of PS2 and even some PSP games to PS3 on disc (and for download). Most of these games are not playable on Sony's current console which dropped back-compatibility support several models ago.
The up-rezzed original Killzone will also be sold as a standalone game, according to the series' official Twitter feed. It will include Trophies.

Supper Bow Tie Optional
What's that? The Super Bowl is this weekend? WOOHOOO!!
That means it's time for the annual reappearance of...
The Super Bowel!
Too much. A little too much.
In their continuing quest to use gingerbread cookie cutters for everything BUT gingerbread men, bakers have finally scored their most discomfiting design yet:
And just like that, every football phrase I know got dirty. o.0
Hey, ever wonder what wrecks will look like in the future?
Yeah. Me, neither.
My Roman numerals are a little rusty, but I'm pretty sure the W stands for 1.2 Gigawatts:
(That joke is funnier when you realize there IS no W in Roman numerals. Which means I had a good chortle when I looked it up just now.)
Seems to me bakers are better off leaving out the numbers all together. That way, they only have to focus on finding new mispellings for "bowl":
My new favorite. Does everyone have their supper bows on?
I know that professional sports have a way of dividing people against each other, so can we all just agree now that this mud pit with its two shrubberies is the REAL winner?
After all:
And actually, if you could just send the food my way in a doggie bag, that'd be awesome. (I have some Downton Abbey to catch up on.)

Southern Living magazine editor at large and garden designer James Farmer will talk about his book "A Time to Plant" on Sept. 7 at Rosemary Beach Town Hall.
Farmer is a Southern author, gardener, floral and interior designer, cook and garden-to-table lifestyle expert. He is described as a voice for his generation on how to incorporate elegant seasonal garden living into one�s life either on a grand scale or modest budget.
He has appeared on NBC�s "Today," is author of the Wall Street Journal best-selling garden book, "A Time To Plant," (2011); "Sip & Savor" (2012); "Porch Living," (2012); "Wreaths For All Seasons," (2012); and "A Time to Cook," (2013) published by Gibbs-Smith Publishers.
But his expertise comes from modest beginnings while growing up on a farm in the small town of Perry Ga. � a place he still calls home.
"This is all I have ever done my whole life as long as I can remember," he told The Sun. "This is how I started out and it's all I ever considered doing."
Farmer was taught as a young boy how to pull vegetables, herbs and flowers from the family farm and kitchen garden to provide much of the food, decor and flavor of his family�s every-day life. He learned how to be a �hyper-seasonal� cook at the side of his grandmother whose Southern heirloom recipes he revitalized for contemporary tastes.
Farmer earned a degree in horticulture and opened a landscape design company in 2005. The first garden he consulted on was featured in "The Atlanta Journal," "Southern Living," "Traditional Home," and ultimately in the book, "Private Gardens of Georgia."
Because of his love for entertaining from the garden, he began creating floral arrangements and consulting on food for private parties and weddings held by his list of clients.
Farmer said he always wanted to teach others about how the land and gardening shape our lives, maybe not in a proper classroom, but through writing and teaching in informal settings.
"It was passed along to me and I believe land and gardening is a direct tie to our past," he said. "We should all know the story behind what is healthy and understand our history and legacy."
He said his own summer garden was a great success this year with a bumper crop of tomatoes and he even has his first pumpkin of the season. He is not shy about admitting to using fertilizer and creating good soil. His preferred fertilizer is the standard 10-10-10, which he feels is the right amount of what's needed to get great results. He also uses manure and a compost of grass leaves, clippings, and garden refuse, which he said gives high nitrogen. Farmer said compost needs to be heavier in Florida due to our sandy soil.
"This gives great results," he said.
His favorite things to plant are herbs such as basil, mint, and rosemary, and they are what he grows the most.
Farmer said herbs are things anyone can grow.
"If you have a plot or a pot you can grow herbs," he said. "All you need is a container or raised bed. You can control soil in raised containers. I use what's tried and true."
Farmer enjoys growing his own vegetables, but he also supports local farmers' markets to purchase what he doesn't grow.
But he isn�t a vegetarian.
"It's important to farm and there are some great butchers in my area," he said, adding that he grew up on a cattle farm.
At Rosemary Beach, Farmer will speak on bringing your garden to the table and into your home.
A reception featuring drinks from the designer's Sip & Savor is at 6 p.m., followed by his presentation and conversation. This will be Farmer's first time to speak in this area on the topic he considers his heritage.
"I feel fortunate to be able to do what I love," he said.
Tickets are available online for $25 at www.rosemarybeachfoundation.org. All proceeds benefit Rosemary Beach Foundation.

|The 8th SIG USE Research Symposium:
Future Directions: Information Behavior in Design & the Making of Relevant Research
Half Day Workshop, Saturday, Oct. 25, 2008, 1:30-6:00pm (separate fee)
Sponsors: SIG USE, with SIG-SI
ASIS&T 2008s conference theme, People Transforming Information Information Transforming
People, provides an important opportunity for the SIG USE symposium to offer guided reflection on the big questions around which information behavior researchers and practitioners can (or should) be making a difference. Our
people-centered approach has enabled us to deepen our understanding of the ways in which people interact with information, information systems, and other people. Communicating these insights to researchers and practitioners in related areas of study and design, however, continues to pose a challenge for our community. Thus, the reflective moment to be offered by this years Symposium will be used to consider one particular challenge: communicating the significance of information
behavour research to designers of products, systems and services.
The symposium consists of two keynote speeches and seminar discussions:
Keith Instone, Information Architecture Leader, IBM.com. Keith will share some of the IA challenges he faces every day working on a large and distributed corporate web site.
Professor Mike Thelwall, Leader of the Statistical Cybermetrics Research Group, University of Wolverhampton, UK. Mike has developed tools for gathering and analysing web sites, blogs and social networking sites.
Position Paper Submission for Attendees: Formal papers from attendees will not be expected; the Symposium will follow a seminar format focusing on participant discussion. Researchers and professionals interested in participating should submit a 1-page position paper (about 300 words) reflecting upon critical questions for information behavior research to the Symposium Organizers not later than August 15, 2008. Applicants are invited to reflect on the four questions that will frame the symposium and present ways that their research addresses them:
How does our research address the transformative relationship between people and information?
What are the fundamental questions that we should be looking at in our research?
How are we to move towards making a greater impact on organizations and designers?
How can or should information behavior research be presented to translate effectively into the language of other information research communities?
Experienced researchers may share information about their current research and insights from lessons learned through past projects, while those new to the field may describe their research or professional interests related to the Symposium themes. Position papers will be posted on the SIG USE website
(www.siguse.org) prior to the Symposium. Small discussion groups will be organized around symposium questions and themes emerging from position papers. Participants must register with ASIS&T at
www.asis.org for the Symposium. Symposium participants are invited to attend a SIG SI/USE networking lunch during the time between the SIG SI and USE symposia. Cost: Pay-on-your-own. Further details to be announced later.

I heard the weatherman mention Indian summer last night and it got me thinking about this old print my father had hanging in his office. The two images were of a young man and his grandfather around a small bonfire. As the scene turns to night the smoke that arose from the fire reveals an image of dancing American Indians, the hay stacks in the distance become teepees and the verse that accompanies the print reads like a tale from a not so enlightened time: Yep, sonny, this is sure enough Injun summer. Don't know what that is, I reckon, do you?

How can I find the sum of the infinite series $$\frac{1}{5} - \frac{1\cdot4}{5\cdot10} + \frac{1\cdot4\cdot7}{5\cdot10\cdot15} - \cdots\qquad ?$$
My attempt at a solution - I saw that I could rewrite it as $$\frac{1}{5}\left(1 - \frac{4}{10} \left( 1 - \frac{7}{15} \left(\cdots \left(1 - \frac{3k - 2}{5k}\left( \cdots \right)\right)\right.\right.\right.$$ and that $\frac{3k - 2}{5k} \to \frac{3}{5}$ as $k$ grows larger. Using this I thought it might converge to $\frac{1}{8}$, but I was wrong, the initial terms deviate significantly from $\frac{3}{5}$.
According to Wolfram Alpha it converges to $1-\frac{\sqrt[3]{5}}{2}$. How can I get that ?
