I have only skimmed through the past 500 threads, but could not find something addressing a question put to me. I hope I haven't been too shortsighted and thus am reopening a topic that has already been posted to death (a horrible way to go, by the way).
An etymology not on a word, but rather the phrase, "the tables have turned".
Also, somewhat off the subject, but I'm new here and was wondering why Jackie's name is the only one in red, and why is it?
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence that it is not utterly absurd

Our first poster from the next world. Greetings. As you will no doubt know, Victorian mediums went in for table-turning, but I suspect the phrase is somewhat older than that.

welcome Arge, Jackie is special, and pretty in pink.
from brewers
Table-turning.The turning of tables without the application of mechanical force, which in the early days of spiritualism was commonly practised at seances and sank to the level of a parlour trick. it was said by some to be the work of departed spirits, and by others due to a force akin to MESMERISM.
Turn the tables, To. To reverse the conditions or relations, as, for instance, to rebut a charge by bringing forth a counter-charge. The phrase comes from the old custom of reversing the table or board, in games such as CHESS or DRAUGHTS, so that the opponents relative position is altogether changed.
from brewers 1894 hypertext ed
Turning the tables. Rebutting a charge by bringing forth a counter-charge. Thus, if a husband accuses his wife of extravagance in dress, she turns the tables upon him by accusing him of extravagance in his, club. The Romans prided themselves on their tables made of citron wood from Mauritania, inlaid with ivory, and sold at a most extravagant price- some equal to a senator's income. When the gentlemen accused the ladies of extravagance, the ladies retorted by reminding the gentlemen of what they spent in tables. Pliny calls this taste of the Romans mensarum insania.
It is also used for audi alteram partem, and the allusion is then slightly modified- We have considered the wife's extravagance; let us now look to the husband's.
We will now turn the tables, and show the hexameters in all their vigour.- The Times.

Thank you so very much, dodyskin. I have been asked that question before, and never could come up with something authentic in answer aside from the failsafe "I don't know".
Uhm... at the risk of exposing more of my profound ignorance... uh... who's "Arge"?

it's a nickname for Andrew, you'll receive a few more until an unspoken consensus is reached and then you're stuck with it.

You ask why Jackie is the lady in red:
'Twas a cold winter's evening,
The guests were all leaving,
O'Leary was closing the bar
When he turned and he said to the lady in red,
"Get out, you can't stay where you are."
She wept a sad tear in her bucket of beer,
As she thought of the cold night ahead,
When a gentleman dapper
Stepped out of the crapper,
And these are the words that he said:
"Her mother never told her
The things a young girl should know
About the ways of college men,
And how they come and go (mostly go);
Now Age has taken her beauty,
And sin has left its sad scar,
So remember your mothers and sisters, boys,
Let Nellie sleep under the bar."

Well Helen, seems like I've arrived at the right place then . It's amazing how many people are downright opposed, based on some vague morale basis, to flirting with the deceased. I'm glad to find out that the whole world hasn't gone wacko on me. *nods to himself in appreciative affirmation*

Ukraine's president offers cease-fire in eastap photo
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, right, meets with acting Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Koval, center, in Kiev, Ukraine, Wednesday. Ukraines president said Wednesday that government forces will unilaterally cease fire to allow pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country a chance to lay down weapons or leave the country, a potential major development to bring peace to the country.
KIEV, Ukraine The new president of Ukraine promised on Wednesday that government troops would soon stop firing on pro-Russian armed separatists, offering a chance to end the fighting that has killed hundreds and wracked the industrial east.
In another concession to Moscow, Petro Poroshenko replaced his foreign minister, who had outraged Russians by using an obscenity to describe President Vladimir Putin.
An end to the two months of fighting and a promised safe exit for rebels would allow Putin to say that Russia has fulfilled its goal of protecting Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine, while Poroshenko can claim victory over the rebellion.
The Ukrainian president discussed his plan for a unilateral cease-fire in a phone call with Putin late Tuesday, their offices said, and Poroshenko also spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Russias foreign minister cautiously welcomed the move, but voiced concern that it could be a ruse. One key question is whether Moscow is willing and able to persuade the pro-Russia insurgents to accept Poroshenkos plan.
Rebel leaders have remained defiant, but in a sign of behind-the-scenes maneuvering, some of them visited Moscow this week to meet with senior officials and lawmakers.
The two sides managed to arrange a brief truce Wednesday evening in the eastern town of Karlivka to allow pro-Russian forces to hand over the bodies of 49 Ukrainian troops who died when the separatists shot down a transport plane bound for the airport in Luhansk last weekend.
But after the truck carrying the remains had passed to the Ukrainian side, both sides fell back to their respective positions. A pro-Russian fighter, whose face was covered with a bandanna and identified himself only by his nom-de-guerre, Sova, said the cease-fire was over. The war will go on until we win, he said.
U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic called Poroshenkos cease-fire announcement a timely initiative. But he stressed that it was a real challenge because U.N. human rights monitors in eastern Ukraine believe there are at least three distinct armed groups that dont fully coordinate.
This may represent a problem because some of them might be adhering to cease-fires, some not, Simonovic told the International Peace Institute in New York.
If successful, the plan could help ease the worst crisis between Russia and the West since the Cold War, a situation triggered by Moscows annexation of Crimea in March following the ouster of Ukraines pro-Russia president.
Poroshenko didnt say when the cease-fire could be declared, but the defense minister, Mykhailo Koval, was quoted as saying it could begin within days.
The plan will begin with my order for a unilateral cease-fire, Poroshenko told reporters in Kiev. I can say that the period of the cease-fire will be rather short. We anticipate that immediately after this the disarming of the illegal military formations will take place.
He said those separatists who lay down their weapons and havent committed grave crimes would be granted amnesty and a corridor to leave the country if they chose to do so.
Putin has welcomed Poroshenkos peace initiative in an apparent hope that de-escalating tensions with the West would help Russia avoid another round of crippling economic sanctions. Still, embracing the plan would require a delicate balancing act for the Kremlin, which is facing rising demands from Russian nationalists to send troops into Ukraine.
Poroshenko said a cease-fire should follow securing the border with Russia, and Ukrainian officials said Wednesday they were completing the effort. Despite their optimistic statements, sealing the roughly 2,000-kilometer (1,200-mile) border could be a challenging task for the nations ill-equipped and badly organized armed forces.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Updated: Read our quick guide to learn more about the crisis and how we are responding to immediate and long-term needs in the region.
The onset of the rains and harvest season in West Africa will offer temporary relief from the current hunger crisis, but much more needs to be done to ensure the region has sufficient food in the long term.
According to a recent report commissioned by World Vision and Save the Children, "Ending the Everyday Emergency ," a lack of ability to access, grow, and store food year after year means millions of children live in a state of permanent food crisis.
Consequently, while still addressing immediate relief needs, World Vision is placing more emphasis on improving the resilience of communities during adverse weather conditions and addressing the underlying causes of cyclical food crises to ensure long-term food security.
Here's a quick guide to understanding the crisis and how World Vision is responding to immediate and long-term needs in West Africa.
In recent years, recurring droughts have led to poor harvests. Crop yields have been non-existent in some areas and severely reduced in others.
The gap between the previous food crisis and the current crisis is barely two years. Affected populations have exhausted their traditional means of coping with these kinds of emergencies.
Almost 19 million people in the region are affected by food shortages. The worst affected countries are Niger and Mali. Also hit hard are Burkina Faso, Chad, Senegal, Mauritania, and Gambia.
More than 1 million children are at risk of severe acute malnutrition.
It's true that rainfall has markedly increased since mid-July. This has proved a mixed blessing.
On one hand, it has permitted a normal start to the growing season in some areas and the expectation of a good harvest. In other areas, however, it has disrupted crop production due to extensive flooding.
Rains have also provided ideal breeding conditions for the desert locust. Swarms of locusts can destroy a farmer's entire crop within hours.
Since March, much of Mali's vast northern desert region has been overrun by rebel groups, prompting extreme shortages of food, water, and fuel, and forcing tens of thousands of refugees to flee to Mauritania, Niger, and Burkina Faso.
The refugees put further pressure on host communities already suffering food shortages.
Children, especially those under 5, are more vulnerable to malnutrition than adults and are the first to die from starvation.
Older children who are hungry find it hard to concentrate on lessons, or they may drop out of school entirely. Schooling is further disrupted when girls seek domestic work in the cities to support their families.
Alternatively, entire families leave hard-hit areas in search of food and opportunities elsewhere, also causing children to forgo educational opportunities.
World Vision has extensive programs in Niger, Mauritania, and Mali, designed to address long-term and immediate food needs for more than 1 million people.
Activities to help ensure long-term food security include:
> Establishment of vegetable gardens with advanced irrigation techniques
> Implementing Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR)
> Educating parents on child health and nutrition
> Vaccinating livestock
> Distributing seeds
> Drilling additional wells
Activities to meet immediate needs include:
> Nutrition programs for children
> Food distributions
> Food-for-work programs
> Cash-for-work programs
> Restocking cereal banks
Without trees and ground vegetation, floods and winds sweep away precious topsoil and leach nutrients from whatever soil is left. Countries such as Niger have suffered extensive deforestation, causing much arable land to turn into desert.
By encouraging the growth of indigenous trees, World Vision aims to reverse this process, make barren areas fertile and productive again, and help ensure long-term food security. Areas practicing FMNR in Niger have already seen increased crop yields and family incomes double.
World Vision is appealing for $62 million to respond to the West Africa crisis. So far, we've raised $35 million.
The consequences will be recurring cycles of hunger and malnutrition; mass migration from rural to urban areas; extensive loss of livestock; exorbitant food prices; an ever-diminishing ability of affected populations to feed themselves; and continued loss of life.
World Vision began work in West Africa in 1973 by providing emergency relief in drought-hit Niger. In 1975, we began water, agriculture, and literacy projects in Mali. Currently, World Vision works in seven countries in the region — Chad, Ghana, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Sierra Leone.
More than 360,000 children in the region benefit from World Vision child sponsorship programs designed to improve their access to healthcare, clean water, and education, and provide better economic prospects for their families.
Want to understand the difference between drought, food crisis, and famine? Check out an infographic on our blog for a visual breakdown of these concepts.
Please pray for families in West Africa who are impacted by the food crisis, and for those in the Horn in Africa who are still suffering from the drought and food crisis there during the past year. Pray that all would find the nutrition they need, and pray for peace and stability in the insecure regions.
Make a one-time gift to help provide life-saving food and care to hungry children. Your donation will help deliver emergency food aid, agricultural support, and more to children and families at risk from food shortages.
Give monthly to provide assistance for children suffering from hunger. Your monthly contribution will help provide critical interventions like emergency food aid, agricultural assistance, clean water, and more to those in greatest need.
Speak out. Urge your members of Congress to protect the International Affairs Budget from drastic cuts. This budget funds life-saving interventions around the world, including West Africa. Making up only about 1 percent of the entire budget, there are few places in the U.S. federal budget where dollars translate so directly into lives saved.

Local groups are helping the Kirtland's warbler make a comeback in central Wisconsin by planting pines that help the endangered songbird survive.
A Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune report says the bird likes to nest under low-hanging branches of young jack pine trees. But the jack pines in the area are older and losing their low branches, so groups will be planting seedlings, as well as native grasses and plants that protect the birds' habitat.
The groups include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the state Department of Natural Resources and the Plum Creek Timber Co. Inc.
DNR ornithologist Kim Grveles says jack pine seedlings will create a safe habitat, and when the trees get too old they can be used for paper pulp

Citigroup dials back junior bankers' hours
Citigroup is dialling back on the hours young staff members are required to work, the latest big bank to try to improve working conditions for junior employees.
A memo released internally Wednesday encourages junior bankers — known as analysts and associates on Wall Street — to take off from 10pm on Friday until 10am on Sunday, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The memo said staff aren't expected to come into the office or log in remotely but can check email in case "critical issues arise".
The junior bankers also are required to take all of their vacation time.
The new rules apply only to two groups within the bank, the capital markets team and the investment banking unit.
The move by Citigroup, the third-largest US bank by assets, comes as other large banks rethink their policies toward young staff. Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JP Morgan and Credit Suisse have told employees in recent months that junior staffers should have time off each month.
Analyst jobs, traditionally two-year entry-level positions on Wall Street, have a reputation for gruelling work hours and tedious assignments. After the financial crisis, companies saw a decline in the number of analysts who completed their programmes.
Other industries, such as technology, hedge funds and private-equity firms, were able to poach young bankers in part by offering better perks and working conditions. News of Citigroup's internal memo was reported Wednesday by financial-news website Dealbreaker.

Fox Valley Tech receives Boeing 727 for training
The future public-safety-prep plane will be permanently grounded
Fox Valley Technical College has received a unique donation: a Boeing 727.
FedEx donated the plane so emergency personnel in training can use it as part of the new partnership between the Outagamie County Regional Airport and Fox Valley Technical College.
WLUK-TV reports the college and airport have been working for about 15 years on acquiring an aircraft to train people locally and from around the country.
The plane will be outfitted with seats and permanently grounded. It will be used for tactical and fire training as well as emergency medical scenarios.
College president Susan May said it's difficult to simulate an airplane-type setting, so the Appleton, Wis.-based institution is grateful for the donation.
A ceremony was held Tuesday at the Outagamie County Regional Airport in Greenville.

And given that, what does it mean to "utilize multi-gpu tech"? Does that just mean to be capable of using multi-gpu? Or to actually use multi-gpu? What does AIG mean?
Certainly having two gpu cards inside a desktop is going to remain extremely rare. Even having a single GPU card is rare and will be increasingly so with cpu-gpu integration and as integrated graphics evolves.
And a PC generally means laptop or desktop, and desktops continue diminish in share of the market.

It's time. According to the Harvard Business Review blog network, women make the majority of consumer goods buying decisions; make up the majority of graduates from the world's universities; and, if they are younger than 30, probably make more money than their male counterparts. So, it's time to consider why women aren't represented in business—especially at the executive level.
In her blog post "It's Time for a New Discussion on 'Women in Leadership,'" Avivah Wittenberg-Cox examines how the real solution to this deficit must move beyond the basic principles of fairness and equality. "It is time to shift the discussion away from a lingering women's problem or an issue of equality and instead focus on this as a massive business opportunity," she writes. The shift should move away from what is wrong with women who don't make it to the top and toward "what is right with companies and leaders that do build gender-balanced leadership teams—and tap into the resulting competitive edge."
Wittenberg-Cox cites studies that show that gender balance produces better and more sustainable performance, and companies with gender-balanced leadership outperform those with less. While these studies are linked right from her blog post, Wittenberg-Cox recommends that leaders move ahead of trends instead of following them. She calls for research that identifies the leadership competencies that enable certain decision makers to build gender-balanced workforces. She says those companies and decision makers that don't have gender-balance also need to be held accountable.
Wittenberg-Cox, who is a consultant and author, makes two recommendations:
"Reframe, rebrand, and make leaders accountable for adopting to 21st century realities," Wittenberg-Cox writes. "This is the work that now lies ahead."
Women in supply chain
Supply chain and operations management professions also benefit from gender balance in leadership, but examples can be hard to find. Not so hard to find is the wage gap, which exists among all professions in the field. According to the summer 2013 findings of the APICS Operations Management Salary and Employment Report, across all respondents, the average total compensation for women is $85,844 compared to $105,569 for men.
Consider the perspective shared by Janet Poeschl, CPIM, CIRM, CSCP, in the May/June 2013 APICS magazine article "Industry Leading Women." Poeschl said that, at her previous employers, there were always fewer women at the manager and executive levels. At the vice president level, there were none. Now, Poeschl herself is a vice president of supply chain for Pacific Natural Foods. She also writes the "Executive View" department for APICS magazine and was a panelist for the APICS 2013 session "Women in Supply Chain."
APICS relies on the leadership of Poeschl and other women like her to help move supply chain and operations management forward in this area. We will explore the topic of women in supply chain even further at APICS 2014, which will feature a variety of content for professionals of either gender who want to advance their careers, enhance their business processes, and prepare for the future. Among its many offerings, the conference will include one professional development learning path geared at newcomers to the field and another learning path with programming to help professionals prepare for greater leadership roles. APICS 2014 registration opens in May. Stay tuned for more event updates.

Serial killer's cozy childhood home for sale
Former Ohio home of Jeffrey Dahmer offered for $329K
If the first rule of real estate is location, location, location, the second should probably be: any links to serial killers? Unfortunately a house up for sale in Ohio can't dodge the latter inquiry. Despite offering some great amenities, it also happens to be the childhood home of notorious mass murderer Jeffrey Dahmer.
WJW-TV reported that the charming three bedroom, two-and-a-half bath ranch home, which is currently offered for $329,000, is situated on almost two acres of lush woodland in Bath, that includes a pond and walking trails.
Click here to view the Trulia listing.
"The house was built in 1952. It's almost 2,200 square feet," listing agent Gregory Greco, with Keller Williams Realty, told the TV station. "There's an updated kitchen, granite counter tops and higher-end appliances."
While the description may sound appealing to most, what may not be disclosed in the real estate ad is that the home was also the site of Dahmer's first slaying.
According to a 2009 NPR story, in 1978, Dahmer lured a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks back to the house to have sex with him, but when Hicks said he wanted to leave Dahmer beat him to death with a barbell. Dahmer later dismembered Hicks' corpse in the house's crawlspace and buried him the back yard.
Dahmer went on to kill a total of 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991, until he was caught and convicted in 1992. He was later fatally beaten by an inmate in prison while serving 15 life terms for murder.
"Some people are not going to want any part of it. Some people want a part of it. But there have been families that have lived here since that happened. The home has transferred a number of times," Greco told WJW.
NPR reported that Chris Butler, the current owner of the house, said it has been investigated for paranormal activity -- including a ghost hunt in 2009 -- but that due to technical anomalies experienced during the investigation, no conclusive evidence was found of either Dahmer's presence or that of his victims.

Executive Education
Georgetown University Law Center's Executive Education program seeks to fill the gap between traditional legal education and the realities of the practice of law in an organizational setting. Our programs provide resources to practicing lawyers and those who lead them by delivering training in skills not traditionally taught in law schools, including leadership, teamwork, strategic planning and effective management. At the same time, because we are a law school, we are sensitive to lawyers' desire to fulfill their professional responsibilities as they acquire and use these important business tools.
We offer both public programs that are available on an open-enrollment basis as well as customized programs that we develop in partnership with client organizations. All of our programs are designed to:
- Provide participants with practical skills as well as theoretical frameworks for dealing with particular management and leadership challenges
- Incorporate the latest and best understanding of the legal market flowing from the extensive research efforts and collaborations of the Center for the Study of the Legal Profession.
- Establish an on-going relationship with program participants to provide them with continuing resources for improving their own effectiveness as successful practitioners and organizational leaders.
Please note that we can provide special pricing for groups of attorneys from the same firm. For more information, please contact Deputy Director Juliet Aiken directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Yes, I want to donate to the Syrian Children's Relief Fund
It's now been more than four years since the beginning of the conflict in Syria. The littlest child refugees have never known life outside of squalid refugee camps. And they need your help. Your gift of $50 can provide supplies such as diapers, soap, and other items to help keep young children healthy. Five million children need food, clothing, care and protection as a result of the ongoing war. Save the Children is on the ground, providing much-needed relief. Please donate now to the Syrian Children's Relief Fund to support our response and help refugee children have a warmer winter. Ten percent of your contribution will be used to help us prepare for the next emergency. Nobody knows when the next crisis will strike, but your support helps Save the Children provide assistance in the critical first hours and days of an emergency when children need us most.
If you have any questions about donating to Save the Children through your company's workplace giving campaign, please email Ashley Holt or contact at +1.475.999.3183.

Onalaska's Ben Skogen is one of the most accomplished high school golfers in Wisconsin.
He won the individual state title as a sophomore. This winter, he signed a letter of intent to play NCAA I golf at the University of Wisconsin.
But a rough end to last season is making Skogen re-think his approach.
"The playoffs were a little dissappointing and I've kind of used that as motivation, especially my front nine at state last year," said Skogen before hitting the links for the first time this year on Monday at Valley High Golf Club.
Skogen had his best statistical season last year. But on day one of the state tournament he was rattled by a penalty, and went on to shoot an 80 for his first round.
Skogen says he won't allow himself to get rattled this season. "It really got to my head, so this year I've worked really hard on my mental game."
He quickly adopted that mentality right after last year's opening round at state. And it worked. Skogen shot two under par for the final round of the state tournament.
"I knew I played bad and I didn't want to give up on myself and my team because I feel like I did that the first day."
So heading into this season Skogen says the biggest key to another title isn't his swing or stroke. But rather controlling the mental aspect of the game.
"You just have to stay in the moment, it's really nerve racking, but you know you've put in the time so you should be ready."
"Just take it one shot at a time."

He should go immediately that we are out of the playoffs. He`s hopeless and we will never compete at the top level with him.
Why did he go to Roger Mason in game three when Toney Douglas had to sit down with his fouls in the second quarter? He should have gone with Carter. Every time Carter has come on he has given us a lift, solid defence and good offence. Roger Mason has done nothing.
D`Antoni always makes terrible decisions, and that is just one reason why he has to go. There are far too many other reasons why he should go for me to list here otherwise I`ll still be typing this come next years playoffs.

41 Years Ago: Pink Floyd Try to Make an Album Without Musical Instruments
As 1973 drew to a close, Pink Floyd abandoned their plans for a highly experimental follow-up to 'The Dark Side of the Moon,' their smash hit album from earlier in that year. The new project was to be called 'Household Objects,' and true to that title, the group's plans were to record it without any musical instruments.
The success of 'The Dark Side of the Moon' was both a blessing and a curse for Pink Floyd, who felt pressure to follow that groundbreaking record up with something equally innovative. To do so they decided to return, in part, to some of the more experimental aspects of their early days.
The proposed LP was to feature the band leaving their traditional instruments behind and perform only on a variety of household items and appliances — including hand mixers, wine glasses, aerosol spray cans and rubber bands.
"I think it was [bassist and songwriter] Roger [Waters] who said, 'Let's make an album without using any of our instruments, but [using] household objects," said keyboardist Rick Wright in the documentary 'Which One's Pink?' "So we'd spend days getting a pencil and a rubber band till it sounded like a bass … spend weeks and weeks doing this. [Drummer] Nick [Mason] would find old sauce pans and stuff, and then deaden them to try and make them sound exactly like a snare drum. I remember sitting down with Roger and saying, 'Roger, this is insane!'"
"We never managed to produce any actual music," said Mason in the book 'Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd.' "All the time we devoted to the project was spent exploring the non-musical sounds, and the most we ever achieved was a small number of tentative rhythm tracks."
Listen to Pink Floyd's 'The Hard Way'
Two tracks from those sessions, however, were eventually released as part of the group's recent "Immersion Edition" box sets — 'Wine Glasses' on the 'Wish You Were Here' set and 'The Hard Way' on 'The Dark Side of the Moon.' The latter seems like it actually could have become a song, while the sounds from 'Wine Glasses' ended up being used in the intro to 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' from 1975's 'Wish You Were Here.'
"A lot of the time it would just be like plonky noises," said guitarist David Gilmour. "We would be searching for something and it didn't work and ultimately to me personally it became rather unsatisfying."
Accordingly, the 'Household Objects' project was ultimately shelved as the band would focus their energies on recording 'Wish You Were Here,' using their traditional arsenal of musical instruments.

By Kate Nash: The New Mexican
A key Senate committee has decided to take a step toward webcasting from the chamber, in an about-face from a previous decision.
The group on Thursday agreed that three cameras that had been taken down from the chamber should be reinstalled with the aim of webcasting — audio and video — of chamber proceedings this session.
While that is being done, the committee will craft rules governing webcasts, which will go to the Senate Rules Committee for consideration.
The cameras were taken down shortly before the session after the same committee voted last year to not webcast, citing financial concerns.
The Legislature in 2006 appropriated $75,000 in capital outlay for webcasting. About $22,000 of that is left after more than $36,000 was spent on cameras. Another $17,000 was spent on related equipment.
"I think we ought to utilize the equipment that's already in place," Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, said during the meeting.
The cameras may be operated by someone already on Senate staff, or the state may need to hire an additional person, depending on how intensive the work is. The plan is to show who is speaking, their name, hometown and the bill that's being discussed — similar to what is broadcast on C-SPAN.
The House earlier this session decided it will work toward video webcasting of its meetings and has since started streaming audio of some meetings on the Legislature's web site. Public support for webcasting mounted after Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones, R-Albuquerque, webcast from a House committee early this session without permission.
Meanwhile, the online news publication New Mexico Independent says it plans to do its own webcast from a meeting this morning of the Senate Rules Committee. A list of ethics bills is pending before that panel, which meets at 8 a.m.
You can see that webcast at http://newmexicoindependent.com/

Wait for valken proton vs buy something already out there?

I know the marker isnt out yet but i like the design the company and the price...although the question is in the title...any opinions guys?
Posted 19 July 2012 - 02:26 PM
I heard that the proton is going to be a copy of the mokal aura which wasn't that great so I'd say buy something else
Posted 19 July 2012 - 03:21 PM
The proton is just an Aura, so if you want one go buy it.
There aren't too many reviews about it on the internet, but from what I've heard it's a great marker for the price.

Holy crap i didnt thInk anyone was gonna post on this. Well it is pretty much going to be a aura.. Although from what valken is promoting they changed more than the milling... The board, bolt , millIng, a better trigger, is all going to be modified so i guess its an uPgraded aura. The only other options that i seem to like is the gog extcy, dp fx fusion, and the azodin zenith.
Posted 19 July 2012 - 09:59 PM
Here come the extcys.
(And you forgot to say rail )
(And you forgot to say rail )
Posted 19 July 2012 - 10:09 PM
Well you gotta take the extcy for what it is... And it really isnt THAT bad.. The rail boasts alot of thing but effIciency isnt one of them. If the rail had a reasonable dwell to make it more efficient then i dont think that there would be a competition in the 300$ range cuz the proto would probobly blow everthing away. The proton offers macroless design, decent effIciency if it is close to what the aura is and isnt plastic....and Isnt as tiny as an empire mini
Posted 19 July 2012 - 10:12 PM
what makes you think the proton will be efficient?
Posted 24 August 2012 - 05:39 AM
I had an aura when it first came out. I got around 1700 balls off a 68/45. My only complaint was the board programming. Valken has fixed this. So I put in an order for a proton. My aura shot just as smooth as my Droid did. Was lighter and felt better.
Overall a great design on the gun just the PSP mode sucked. It has been fixed and I will be happy to rock a proton

Posted 24 August 2012 - 08:31 PM
Valken historically makes cheap plastic goods, but they have recently been trying to make noticable stuff ( V-max ) I would get the rail if I were you, but if you want to be the test subject please tell me how good it is.
Posted 06 January 2013 - 12:06 PM
With the proton you can change modes quickly on the field so if you are a woodsballer go with that. A friend of mine just got the mini and it shot really well but the trigger has some side-to-side play on it and it isnt that accurate but it is quiet and smooth. I have heard some great stuff about the proton and am probably going to go with that but if i can get a mini cheaper i will go with that. Both are amazing.

Vt. rec path revived 2 yearsMay 25,2013COLCHESTER — Two year after Lake Champlain flooding destroyed part of it, the Colchester Causeway recreational path has been restored for bicyclists, runners, walkers and fishermen.
The Colchester Causeway, along with a stretch to the north in South Hero, is a five-mile, unpaved northern portion of Island Line Trail. It connects to the south to Colchester's Airport Park and the 7.5-mile paved Burlington Bike Path.
The Burlington Free Press reported that restoration work took place last year from May to October and cost $500,000.
Seventy-five percent of the money to repair the causeway came from federal funds and 15 percent came from the state. The remaining 10 percent came largely from Burlington-based nonprofit Local Motion, and from an anonymous donorMORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

Delaware River Safety Advisory
June 28, 2013 —
Due to heavy rainfall on Thursday and Friday, the Delaware River level as measured at Montague, NJ is currently 6.82 feet. It is predicted to rise to 12.5 feet by 2 a.m. on Saturday, June 29, which is several vertical feet higher than normal for this time of the year.
Superintendent John J. Donahue requires all individuals to wear a proper fitting, United States Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) in good and serviceable condition while on board any vessel on the waters of the Delaware River within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. This order will be effective once the river level as measured at the Montague gauge reaches 8 feet, and will remain in effect until the river level recedes below 8 feet.
At higher levels, river conditions include large quantities of floating debris, very swift currents, decreased water temperature and increased hydraulic hazards in rapids and near bridge pilings, as well as increased hazards associated with downed trees and submerged obstacles near the shoreline.
It is highly recommended that only very experienced boaters using proper equipment consider a river trip during this period of high water.

Written by Elodie Artour on 13.08.2010 at 23:35
What a review, Sleeping Dragon! Congrats, man! I really enjoyed reading it. Lacuna Coil is one of my favourite bands and "Comalies" is my favourite piece by them. I'm still not quite sure whether it's their best album or not, but that doesn't change the fact I love every single song on it and can even relate many of them to myself. If it comes to melodies, LC have always been good at writing beautiful music. Some of their songs remind me a bit of typical Italian music (they're Italians, after all) . As for Cristina's voice, I find it distinct and sort of unique. She's definitely among my favourite female singers and she sounds different compared with many others. Having her in the band is a huge advantage for the music itself. However, I don't consider Andrea Ferro to be a good vocal. The combination between Cristina's and Andrea's voices works pretty well but I still hope that one day, Lacuna Coil will get a better male vocal. Andrea doesn't actually sound that bad in the studio. According to many live videos of the band I've seen, however, he doesn't really do such a good job at concerts. Otherwise, I find him a nice and sympathetic guy.
Lacuna Coil is probably not a metal band and that's another part of their uniqueness - their style is not easily defined. Back in the day, Lacuna's music sounded beautiful and poetic. Money was seemingly still not the biggest issue in their career. On the other hand, "Comalies" is very well made production-wise which alone gives a clue of a "mainstream-ish" perspective for the band. If nowadays somebody listens firstly to their last two records and goes back to their previous ones afterwards, they'll definitely be amazed by the astonishing and dramatical change of the music.
"Comalies" highlights: "Aeon" (mainly because of Cristina's unique performance on it) , "Humane" (definitely one of the best tracks off the record) and "Angel's Punishment" (the choir suits the dramatic aura of the song pretty well) .
Written by Guest on 14.08.2010 at 12:08
I must say this is my favorite album by them. I think its the darkest one they have released. While you are on the topic of shallow life does anyone think the guitar tone is similar to linkin park. BTW dont listen to linkin park anyone coz they suck

My little girl is nearly 9 months old and is still full time breastfeeding, waking every 3 hours during the night to feed, most nights she co sleeps as it is easier.
I am concerned that my periods have not yet returned although I am aware that full time breastfeeding can cause this to happen. with my first child I only breastfed full time for the first 3 weeks, and made the classic mistake of not taking enough precautions and now only have 12 months between my two children. This has been good in some respects and not in others!!!
When my second child was about 3 months old I started getting heartburn, a previous sign of pregnancy for me, I waited about a month before doing a test, which was negative so I have tried to relax and not think about it. My periods still have not returned!!!
Has anyone else had similar experiences and should I be worried? Is the nightfeeding likely to have suppressed ovulation?

I would just like to say that I am really pleased so far with my changeover from Plusnet to SKy. I was activated yesterday, and all went very smoothly. My router arrived a couple of days before the switchover and I was able to set it up very easily. I wasn't sure when I should set up the new router but around 2pm my old broadband stopped working, so I set up the router at that time and got instant access. I didn't even notice the changeover of the phone line but I must assume that I now have a Sky line.
Broadband speeds are a bit variable at the moment and a couple of times I have had a few seconds of no connectivity but already the connection seems much smoother than my Plusnet service and I am looking forward to getting Anytime plus set up.
Only problem at the moment is that one of our computers (out of three) just won't set up wirelessly, it runs wired but cannot get it to run wirelessly even though it is showing excellent connection to Sky broadband. It is a windows xp computer and if anyone has any ideas what I might do to get it running wirelessly, I would be very grateful.

What happens when you try to connect it to the sky signal it finds ?
on 24-01-2012 06:33 PM
When I go into internet explorer it says IE cannot display the webpage, but the network connection shows a strong signal from the sky connection. The sky connection says a local network cable is unplugged.

Forget about IE for a minute. In the Network Connection bit, what happens here when you press the Conect button to connect to your wireless connection ?
on 25-01-2012 12:23 AM
In the Network connecter, it is showing a strong connection to the Sky router. If I disconnect and reconnect again then it immediately connects up to the Sky network. Is this what you are asking?
on 26-01-2012 08:56 AM
Hi Lyn53,
You mention you disconnect and reconnect again, when reconnecting are you being asked to type in the Network Key which can be found on the bottom of the router?
On this laptop, are you able to connect using an ethernet cable?
on 09-02-2012 12:51 PM

Hi Megi,
It seems strange that you have not received your router yet. Have your services been active since October? Have you tried to chase this up with us at any point at all?
on 22-04-2012 03:32 PM
I have no connection ev en though track my order says my line is active, i have no active phone line or broad band! this was supposed to have been ready on 17th it is now 22nd and nothing and i have struggled to get in touch with sky!

Hi 23charlie
Nice to catch your 1st post on the Sky Forum
On the day of the activation it can take upto 12 midnight for the service to become active.
Have you set up the Router yet , as you will see the internet light change to green once its active also.
on 17-05-2012 10:39 AM
Hi my had Sky broadband with no issues then I moved house and had to disconnect for two weeks, no worries. My activation date was today and I have everything hooked up (latest Sagem router), but there is no access, and thats ok too as I know it can take up until Midnight, but the green @ symbol is not even lit green or red, its just not on at all. If there was no access I would expect it to be red and I would just wait for it to green, but not even lit?
I have checked the cabling, its all fine, phone line is fine. Can anyone help with this?

Louise Moillon was one of the finest still-life painters in France in the first half of the 17th century. This spectacular painting, one of the few examples by Moillon in an American collection, was painted when the artist was 20 years of age. Her specialty was the meticulous rendering of fruits, and this still life epitomizes her success, displaying a restrained elegance and an idealized, classical perfection in all its components. Gooseberries, strawberries, cherries and a sprig of currants are represented as flawless specimens. The pristine blue-and-white porcelain bowls, the droplets of water and the small basket reflect her conservative but intense and highly ordered vision of the world. Whether the still-life paintings by Moillon and her French contemporaries, including Jacques Linard, lacked or eschewed the sophistication and panache of their Dutch counterparts, it is apparent that these painters embraced an entirely different aesthetic—one that was quieter, more contemplative and still satisfying in its own right.

My LO will be 8 weeks tomorrow. For the last two weeks he has gotten extremely fussy during some feedings during the day and some late at night. He probably does this at about three feedings a day, but somehow it feels like more of them.
He tenses up, he cries -- sometimes sounding like he's in pain -- he thrashed around wildly, he rakes his nails across his face and across me. Burping him, switching sides, changing his diaper -- none of it stops it. Today in the span of a few seconds during one of these episodes he managed to punch me in the face twice, punch himself once, and rake his nails across both of us painfully. He pulls himself off, then roots wildly and if he doesn't get the nipple he starts crying and stuffs his fists into his mouth. Then the cycle repeats. When he tenses up suddenly ten minutes into eating I know what's coming and I just dread the ensuing battle at the breast.
I have tried breast compressions. I've tried not doing them. I've tried lifting him higher than the nipple. I cut out dairy weeks ago. I tried feeding on one side only, then I tried switching sides when he fusses. None of it changes anything. Meanwhile his diaper output seems fine -- his poop turned green a week ago, but it's not frothy and the pediatrician said it's fine.
When these episodes hit the only thing that calms him down is swaddling/shushing/swinging/side lay/pacifier.
I will not quit nursing, but if there was ever a day when part of me wanted to, it's today. I am not one to cry but after the punch out I got from him today and watching him fight at my breast it finally broke me down a bit. Nursing is supposed to be comforting and I feel, during these episodes, like he HATES it. Today it really made me feel that New Mom Inadequacy.
PLEASE tell me this fussing at the breast ends. Will I ever get the baby back that loves to nurse and then looks up at me with the sweetest milk coma smile? I miss that baby.

We live in the Age of Awkward. It's hip to be square, cool to be uncool, and sexy to be nerdy (and above all, quirky). And there's no better way to assert your individuality and weirdness than branding yourself "so OCD" about something.
Except that OCD isn't a quirk or a set of tendencies or a BuzzFeed list; it's an incapacitating, isolating disease that makes you afraid of your own mind. Here's what it's really like to have OCD.
4 You Believe You're a Terrible Person
Jupiterimages/BananaStock/Getty Images
Imagine the feeling of having a song stuck in your head. Now imagine that instead of "It's Raining Men," it's the thought of murdering your best friend. In graphic detail. Over and over again. You're not mad at your best friend, and you've never done anything violent, but it won't stop playing.
You probably feel kind of shitty just reading that. But that's what the "obsessive" part of OCD is like: intrusive, unwanted, disturbing thoughts that won't go away. No one seems to know what causes them, although it might be miscommunication between parts of the brain or something faulty in its error detection circuit.
"Ohhhh, you don't want to feel debilitating helplessness. My bad."
The thoughts aren't always about you doing bad things, but they're never pleasant. Most obsessions are based on deep fears -- "What if I or someone I love gets sick?" -- or basically the worst things one can think of, like blasphemy, racism, suicide, murder, rape, contamination, animal abuse, cannibalism, torture ...
Vintage Books
"Excuse me, I have to go rape some video murders."
People with OCD who have thoughts of doing something violent never actually act on these thoughts, and those who dread bad things happening almost never see those things happen. But while most people can shake off a weird thought, when you have OCD, it sticks in your mind. Inevitably, you think, "Why do I keep thinking about these things? Is it because they'll happen? Do I want them to happen?"
The answer's no, you don't. But you'll always fear you do.
3 You're Probably Not a Neat Freak
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
Some of you might remember the show Monk, about a private eye whose OCD makes him a brilliant detective. When I watched it, I felt a little like how my gay friends felt about Queer Eye for the Straight Guy: It was nice to see us being represented as useful, but did it have to be so stereotypical?
Despite what Monk or the company Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics might have you think, OCD doesn't necessarily mean you're neat and particular. Those of you into freak shows (sorry, reality shows): Have you ever seen that show Hoarders? Hoarding is often a symptom of OCD. Compulsions vary. Sometimes they correspond to fears, like washing your hands because you're scared of contamination. Sometimes there's no real logic behind them, like when you have to jump over a line on the floor because otherwise everybody you know will die horribly and it will be all your fault.
WireImage/WireImage/Getty Images
Or you keep counting because you don't want to lose control and start sucking blood.
Many don't have physical compulsions at all, instead suffering from "purely obsessional" OCD, where all they have are obsessions. And some people with diagnosed OCD even obsessively doubt the fact that they have OCD. How's that for a mindfuck?
OCD, at heart, is an anxiety disorder. Yet movie and TV characters with OCD are often shown washing their hands or straightening things, never suffering from overbearing anxiety. This is probably because writing is hard and it's easier to show someone cleaning than to show someone going through extreme mental anguish.
Fox Searchlight
Unless you're Darren Aronofsky. Then "extreme mental anguish" is why they pay you.
There have been some more true-to-life accounts in the media lately: Maria Bamford talks about OCD in her standup act, and the depiction on Girls was actually pretty accurate. But the majority is still way off.
This is why I can be found staying up late writing to Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics suggesting that, while they're at it, they should start selling their makeup in insulin syringes and call it "Diabetic Cosmetics."
This could be their "Jaundice" line!

1. if we dump Salford, Sale will take over the players and the area and the whole game will suffer.
2. If we dump Castleford, Leeds RU could strengthen from taking the ex Cas players.
3. If we dump London, all the juniors being produced in London by the amateur teams there will likely be picked up by the London Area RU teams.
1. If we dump Salford we'll cut SL's losses and BTW Sale don't buy jorneymen RL players
2. If we dump castleford again losses will be cut. Other clubs already take the best Cas players, Wakefield will grow and profit as the only SL club in the area.
3. They won't dump London
4. If they dump HKR, Hull will be able to prosper and grow. as the only SL club in town.
Dump is a horrible word. It's not mine it's yours and probably the SL bosses, as are the thoughts above so don't have a go at me.....But the SL bosses would be right to take this view and I believe they do,

A Tale of Two Yellowstone Birds
Peregrine falcons and trumpeter swans are two of the most important and charismatic birds in Yellowstone National Park. Both are also species of national concern, as they have each faced extinction during the last century. Habitat in Yellowstone plays a key role in maintaining viable populations of both peregrines and trumpeters, yet one of these bird species is now flourishing while the other is floundering. Now researchers are trying to figure out why.

I think so. We can't expect Bibby to be enough.
I am rewatching the game as hard as that is and I'm noticing when our bench goes into the game, our lead evaporates/disappears. What about bringing in Shump off the bench to help keep our leads and get some energy off the bench? I'm not saying to give him less minutes, just change when he plays those minutes.
At one time today we had lineups of: Douglas, Fields, Walker, Jorts, Jeffries. That lineup is terrible and leads to no scoring except for the occassional Jorts/Bill Walker 3. I think if we run with a lineup of Bibby, Shump, Novak, Jorts, Jeffries off the bench we'll get more scoring from that unit than our current usage of the bench.
I dunno, something needs to change. I hate seeing us play like crap and guys like Lin and Novak never see the floor. Especially in a short season with so many back-to-backs, why is Antoni running such a short rotation. That's probably another issue with this team, they're all beat up from being overused. Ugh this team is full of problems.
Anyways what do you guys think about bringing Shump in as a 6th man?
I think so. We can't expect Bibby to be enough.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I would start Bibby and Shumpert. They really need to run more plays to get Bibby open, they're not using him right. Cant use Baron Davis as an excuse for a lack of an inside outside game
With regards to Shumpert...I think he'll do OK, but he needs to stop shooting as much.
The funny thing is we bring up all those ideas of what should be done, but at the end of the day we all know too well that D'Antoni will still be in charge come the last game of the season and we'll finish with a 0.500 record +/- 1%, just like last season. With no homecourt advantage we'll be done after 4 or 5 games again.
We've had so many changes over the last 2 years, but the outcome is always the same with D'Antoni at the helm.
Conclusion: It doesn't make a damn difference whether Shumpert starts or not.
Stat & Melo have to step-up their game with owner Dolan to get Dantoni out
of NY. The isolation plays played-out with Isiah's "Marbury & Crawford".
There is no reason why veteran-Bibby is not our starting PG for the first 6
minutes of the first quarter. The first quarter should be the only quarter we
focus all our energy on the offensive-end of the court.
Our tight 66 game schedule says we should be using our bench frontcourt
Bigs of "C-Jordan, PF-Jorts, and SF-Balkman" in our every game rotation in
lineups with our Big-3 frontcourt Tyson/Stat/Melo to defend, box-out,
blockshots, foul, and to create screens and picks for our scorers on every
offensive possession. Our offense is WEAK b/c we dont use our bench bigs
for high-screens/low-screens/and offensive-rebounding.
FIRE Dantoni
I agree with starting Bibby for at least the first 6 min of the game. Shump and TD as reserves could possibly work better with backcourt pressure and decent scoring for the 2nd unit with either Amare or Melo still on the floor.
I know Bibby is not the player he was some years ago but he still understands the pg position better than any active player we currently have. I think if he's able to just be himself, he could be more effective. Antoni prefers him as a 3pt shooter (no surprise there) but allowing him to build chemistry with Amare would be vital until Baron is ready.
I also agree that Balkman has deserved some minutes each game. He may not have a great offensive game but no one can deny his hustle and sense of movement without the ball. He also has no problem attacking the rim. Balkman knows his role and is content on doing the little things. I'm not a fan of him shooting 3s but we all know everyone has the green light to shoot it in this system.
The regulars on KOL know i'm anti-Antoni, but even I can admit everything is not his fault. Some of our players have bad habits that need to be addressed. Still, we have a bunch of money tied up in 3 guys and there's not enough more to get an impact player anytime soon. The core players on this team have been set and will be here a few more years. If its not working then a coaching change has to be made. This doesn't guarantee instant success but a different voice seems to be needed at this point.
We're forgetting that Antoni was mainly brought here to showcase exciting basketball (win or lose) while the team was in flux and lure top FAs. That's it!
Real Talk
Coaches job to eliminate those bad habits....
When orland is shooting 3 pointed with such a high percentage there is no reason not to put a guy like balkman . He has long arms and can be a big defender hustle guy....
When we hit a low in the game we need energy but STUBBORN Dantonio just crosses his fingers and closeshis eyes and assumes his original game plan will see him through.....
Even in this short condensed season he cannot change......
I assume this homestand will be the deciding point if he stays or goes....
Icing on the cake will be if Denver humiliates us on our homecourt.....That would be enough for Dolan to fire Dantonio rather then think he traded too many players for melo....
I think temporally starting Bibby might be the answer to fix the scoring problems of our second unit. We need fire off of the bench and I think Shump can give us that as long as he's dishing and swishing, rather than banking and clanking. Had to throw a Cyldism in there...lol

Did you know:
What's the difference?
Both can include aerobic, flexibility, and muscle-strengthening activities.
Aerobic activities make you breathe harder and make your heart and blood vessels healthier. These include:
Muscle-strengthening activities build up your strength. These activities work all the different parts of the body—legs, hips, back, chest, stomach, shoulders, and arms—and include:
Flexibility-enhancing activities ensure a good range of motion in the joints. Loss of flexibility can be a predisposing factor for physical issues, such as pain syndromes or balance disorders. Gender, age, and genetics may all influence range of motion. Flexibility exercises include:
Fitness includes cardiovascular functioning, which is improved by aerobic activities that get your heart and lungs working faster. It also includes muscle strength, flexibility, and balance.

Pimco's $620bn man in Europe hangs up his boots
Some 16 years ago, Joe McDevitt launched Pimco's London office over a shoe shop in Mayfair. With the business now reaching $620 billion, he is stepping aside for a younger generation to develop its European operation.
The news, which emerged this week, follows the shock departure of former chief executive Mohamed El-Erian in January.
Despite the attention given to El-Erian's exit and reports of alleged rows with Pimco co-founder Bill Gross, McDevitt is emphatic they had nothing to with his decision to step aside, saying it was a genuine decision to retire reached months ago: "I believe it is time for a new generation to take the business forward."
He said: "I'm 61 in the summer, and I'd like a gap year so I can spend more time with my family." He noted that he became a bond specialist for securities house Salomon Brothers in 1983, joining Pimco in 1998 without a break.
McDevitt is unlikely to need to work again. Pimco is a generous payer. According to the New York Times, Bill Gross was paid $200 million in 2012.
The highest-paid director at Pimco's European business earned £20.9 million in the year to December 2012 and £30 million in 2011, according to documents filed at Companies House. Its seven directors earned a collective £50.2 million (£57 million).
It is not clear that McDevitt was on the receiving end of these bumper pay packages, but it is likely he has been rewarded for helping grow the European arm to $620 billion as of March this year.
A member of the FN100 Most Influential People in European Finance in 2012, he said would continue to find time for charitable work and consider non-executive positions in a year's time. He is a director of the Sutton Trust, which lobbies to prevent educational inequalities and an enthusiastic supporter of Angela Docherty's Kenyan charity New Ways.
At Pimco, his responsibilities for the UK, Benelux and Nordic regions have been taken over by Europe, Middle East and Africa chief Bill Benz. In a statement, Benz said: "We are grateful for his many contributions to our clients and firm and we wish Joe great happiness in his retirement."
Back in 1998, McDevitt's team introduced a new wave of research-driven bond products to Europe, just as rapidly maturing UK pension schemes were starting to switch out of equities.
He was one of a new breed of US marketers capable of explaining intricate investment products to potential investors, forging good relationships with consultants and freeing managers from the tyranny of quarterly meetings by personally taking on client relations. He is adept at spotting opportunities. In 2012, he switched his marketing focus from bonds to multi-asset and income products.
Latterly, McDevitt played a role in developing Pimco's wholesale business. Pimco lost some of this work in the first quarter of this year following a rotation out of bonds by retail investors. However, its European assets rose from $600 billion to $620 billion in the quarter, suggesting institutional investors are interested in Pimco's investment skills in the region
The importance of Europe to Pimco is illustrated by the recent promotion of Andrew Balls, head of European portfolio management - and brother of shadow Chancellor Ed Balls - to one of six deputy chief investment officers.
McDevitt says one of the jobs he has most enjoyed in recent years has involved the mentoring of business development personnel. He is a keen participant in Pimco investment forums. In 2012, however, he drew the line at participating in a team swim of the English Channel led by Benz: "I would have sunk."
He also worked behind the scene to defuse controversy. Well before dealing with El-Erian's departure, he had to deal with political fallout in the wake of Gross's January 2010 comments that the UK was sitting on a pile of financial 'nitroglycerine'. In June, following the formation of a coalition government, McDevitt said: "We have become more constructive over the UK since the election."
Rival marketers were not surprised to hear of McDevitt's departure: "At 61, you're entitled to a change of pace," said one. Another said it made sense to hand over the reins at some point.
Frank Doyle, UK institutional sales director at Investec Asset Management, said: "Joe is a great loss to the industry. More than a marketer – a real businessman. Genuinely humble and a hard act to follow."

Cary O. FischerApril 02,2013
Cary O. FischerCary O. Fischer
TINMOUTH Cary Otakar Fischer of Tinmouth died on March 26, 2013, after a brief illness, at age 86.
Mr. Fischer was born in 1926, in Prague, Czechoslovakia. His teenage years were spent under the Nazi occupation. He immigrated to the United States in 1947, just before the communist takeover of the Czechoslovak government, and became a U.S. citizen along with the rest of his immediate family.
Mr. Fischer graduated from Stanford University in California, and worked for several years as a freelance journalist. He reported from Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. During his career as a political scientist in Washington D.C., he worked for the State Department under the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, taught at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), and was an editor of the U.S. State Departments periodical, Problems of Communism. He moved to New York City in 1969 and worked at the Harper & Row publishing house as an editor of Eastern European dissident literature. He later taught history and political science at the City University of New Yorks John Jay College of Criminal Justice. After the Velvet Revolution of 1989, Mr. Fischer returned frequently to the Czech Republic and acted as an inofficial political consultant to members often old friends of the new democratic government of Václav Havel.
In 1965, he bought a farmhouse in Tinmouth, and lived in Vermont permanently for the last twenty years.
In his youth, Mr. Fischer was an avid skier and tennis player, and throughout his life he was a connoisseur of fine food and a true companion of several dogs and cats.
He is survived by his devoted wife of twenty years, Sidonia Fischer, of Tinmouth; his daughter, Eva Gonova, of Essex Junction; his son, Jan Otakar Fischer, of Berlin, Germany (his child from a first marriage); his granddaughter, Sonja Fischer, of Berlin, Germany; and his sister, Helena Wulsin, of Geneva, Switzerland.

Catholic Heritage Minor
Why Study Catholic Heritage at Fisher?
The minor in Catholic heritage encourages you to realize the various intellectual underpinnings for your intentional choices in the service of others. The minor's interdisciplinary approach mutually strengthens your understanding of the Roman Catholic religion as well as its expression in the arts and sciences.
The minor utilizes talented faculty from various departments at Fisher and explores in depth the rich heritage of liberal arts that John Fisher fostered as Chancellor of Cambridge University.
Goals of the Catholic Heritage Minor
- Identify and articulate common themes in our Catholic Heritage (e.g. faith and reason as a basis for understanding the teachings of the Roman Catholic tradition; the use of imagination in the study of theology; etc.)
- Recognize and articulate some of these common themes as expressed in the arts, humanities, physical and social sciences. One of the main purposes of the Minor in Catholic Heritage is to demonstrate intellectually and practically how the arts and sciences play a key role in a Catholic person's daily life
- Articulate reasons for studying one's Catholic Heritage in an institution like St. John Fisher College which is rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition
- Explore at least one of the themes/reasons in an interdisciplinary capstone paper or project under the guidance of a suitable mentor
Who Was Saint John Fisher?
Saint John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, England, and Chancellor of Cambridge University, was committed to the liberal arts as tools to best prepare students for further work in theology and careers of service and transformation. John Fisher embodied the Basilian motto "Teach me goodness, discipline and knowledge" as a man of integrity, a scholar rooted in the liberal arts, and one who chose to make a difference in his service to others.
