	Thain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, the Thain was the traditional military leader of the Hobbits of the Shire.
		Eight Took Thains (including an Isengrim I, Isumbras II, Ferumbras I, and Paladin I) Isengrim Took II (became 22nd Thain during the rule of Arahad II, Chieftain of the Dúnedain.
		The line of Thains continued in the Fourth Age of Arda until the end of the Shire.

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Thain of the Shire
		The first Thain was given the title in III 1979 (379 by the Shire-reckoning) in a time when the northern lands were recovering from a devastating war in which the old kingdom of Arthedain had come to an end.
		Bucca was followed by Thains whose names are not recorded, but who took the surname 'Oldbuck' in honour of their ancestor.
		He was Thain during the War of the Ring, and held the Tookland against the ruffians who invaded the Shire at that time.

		The Thain was the master of the Shire-moot.
		The Thain was the master of the Shire-moot, and captain of the Shire-muster and the Hobbitry-in-arms, but since the Shire was generally in a state of peace and prosperity, the Thain was rarely if ever called upon to perform these duties.
		Thain is a variation of thane, a freeman granted land by the king in return for military service in Anglo-Saxon England, or a Scottish baron or lord.

	Goldman Sachs' John Thain Named CEO of NYSE
		Thain joins the NYSE literally days after the nation's biggest pension system sued the exchange and its specialists, saying the system by which stocks are bought and sold has been habitually abused by insiders and that investors are owed hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.
		Thain has publicly denounced the specialist apparatus, in which professional traders act as middlemen on the floor of the exchange and conduct auctions for stocks and bonds.
		Thain does have some claim to independence in that his take in Goldman's May 1999 initial public offering made him and most of the bank's top executives rich enough that further monetary temptation is unlikely to persuade them.

		Thain heads the kitchen at Cosmo in Edinburgh, which is owned by Keith Murray, son of Rangers chairman David.
		Thain's skill in preparing from scratch a classic tuna nicoise salad, seabass with a fennel compote and a chocolate tart at breakneck speed impressed the judges, but the identity of the winner was not revealed until later that evening at Claridge's.

		Thain's decision to bypass a step-by-step plan and opt for a swift embrace of Chicago-based Archipelago remains a source of friction.
		Thain's financial ties to Goldman included owning 3.1 million shares of the firm's stock worth about $288 million when he was hired by the NYSE in January 2004.
		Thain replaced Richard Grasso, who was ousted as the Big Board's chairman and CEO for accepting a $140 million retirement package.

		Speaking on Tuesday to a group of reporters and editors, Thain said "the whole revenue model" of the firms, of which there are now seven left at the NYSE, "is a question" and something that the exchange is going to look at.
		Thain also said that the NYSE board's move to ask exchange Chairman John Reed to stay on until next year wasn't prompted by a lack of suitable candidates for the post.
		Thain said his preference had been that Reed stay on because it would have been "disruptive" to bring in a new NYSE chairman at this time.

		Thain has brought on lobbyist Kathleen Shanahan, the former chief of staff to U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and to Florida Governor Jeb Bush, to represent the NYSE's interests at the SEC and in Congress.

	Neverwinter Nights: The Island of Thain has a shiny new website!!
		And so, it appears, Thain decided to ban a small subnet of the ISP which is used by the group of friends, thus banning all of them.
		So in summary — Thain is PW where the DM’s are never wrong, and when they are, they’re still never wrong (even when you attempt to resolve things in private because they lead people believe you never made the attempt in the first place).
		I enjoyed my time on Thain, short as it may have been, prior to your banning of me. Yeah, there are some “over the top” role-players out there (in my opinion) but they weren’t bothering me and in some cases did add to my enjoyment of the world.

	Thain -- Neverwinter Nights Vault
		Thain has a nice simple set of rules; you won't be overwhelmed by tons of conventions and restrictions.
		Thain has been a very wonderful first experience with NWN online for me. The player base is wonderful and immersive, and the ongoing player run plots are a lot of fun to play.
		Thain really is a very well designed PW, with a careful layout that matches up sensibly, and which also (a real plus for me!) makes it very easy to bump into other PCs.

		According to plaintiff, on May 3, 1992, Thain attacked and beat her without provocation, after threatening her on the same day that he "would break her neck." Plaintiff filed a complaint against defendant and Thain on May 2, 1994, alleging claims based on negligence and intentional tort.
		Plaintiff further argues that defendant knew Thain was a ticking bomb and it was more than reasonably foreseeable that he would explode, and virtually certain that he would attack a staff nurse such as plaintiff.
		Plaintiff argues that her amended complaint fairly inferred that she was obligated to comply with defendant s instructions, guidelines and policies to her detriment, and to the extent that the court required specific pleadings regarding defendant s relationship with plaintiff, plaintiff should have been granted leave to file a second amended complaint.

		Representatives of the firms had attended a Monday meeting hosted by former NYSE board member Kenneth Langone to air their concerns about the merger and discuss a possible counteroffer for the exchange.
		What seemed last week to be a slam dunk by Thain has been marred by Langone's efforts to scuttle the merger, though the group has toned down its rhetoric and now says it wants to merely investigate the deal further.
		Opponents of the merger also noted that Thain – a former Goldman co-chief operating officer who oversaw the firm's early investment in Archipelago – conducted the deal with surprising secrecy, only involving the Big Board's membership and trader representatives at the last minute.
