Picolinate is the most absorbable form of zinc
5 people found the following review helpful
Posted by vitality on Apr 17, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
I was taking a tablet from another brand but this one is so much more effective. Since taking it sores have been healing and hormones getting more balanced etc. Picolinate capsules are far better absorbed than the chelates or tablets. I'm taking two of these a day to treat a deficiency - my body is needing much larger amounts that usual due to long term illness. This can be taken without a deficiency to boost the immune system, but be careful as excessive amounts can suppress the immune system or cause an imbalance with copper levels in your body. Zinc also helps heal the gut and supports the nervous system. A standard amount to supplement with is 15-30mg/day, preferably of sinz picolinate (Thorne is good).
Good form of zinc

I have to watch my intake of copper so it's nice to find a zinc supplement that doesn't contain copper. I wish it was in a slightly lower dosage, though.

According to my Dr. it is the highest quality Zinc product on the market. No results yet but no issues either.

The zinc seems to be working fine...healed a cut I had for awhile. I am highly allergic to many things so the fact that I can take these is a plus.

Okay everyone, I am in my final year of college for graphic design and I have to come up with a company. I have decided on Pawsh - feline wear, a high class cat wear company. This week we are only working on the logo, but from there I will need stationery, business cards, website, catalog, etc.
I am asking the Tumblr community to please assist me in this "CAT"alog! ;D I am requesting that users take photos of their cats in "formal wear" (bowties, ties, tophats, dresses, formal shirts, etc) In return you will be listed in the credits in my final product, I am also playing with the idea of listing the model.
So please, for the sake of my college degree, reblog this, and send me pictures of your cat in formal wear! I will love you forever!!

Email Communication Problem
Find a Conversation
Email Communication Problem
|Sun, 12-12-2010 - 4:35pm
I have been having problems with my son's IEP and have been communicating with the Principal via email as follow-up to a meeting we had.
|Sun, 12-12-2010 - 7:37pm
When I email I go to the teachers first and the principal is my last resort but I do understand that w/ the nature of your situation that was pretty much not the way to go. I would send emails to all teachers and the principal from now on. That is what I do when I include the principal, even if it is a BCC. I know this is frustrating but perhaps if these teachers see just how unhappy you are they will get on the ball and follow the IEP. I hope the principal hasn't just been talking the talk to you and not walking the walk by making the teachers follow the IEP.
|Tue, 12-14-2010 - 9:27pm
Have you talked w/ the principal about it? I am curious if she might have told you why she forwarded it to the teachers...I don't understand why the teacher would have been upset about what you asked, to me there is always room for improvement and that's really all you were trying to do was make things better.

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands - What's being called the biggest robotics expo in the world got underway Wednesday in the Netherlands.
Robocup 2013 has drawn 25-hundred participants from 40 countries who'll compete in a number of contests.
There are robots that can play soccer, dance, and perform rescue operations.
One goal of the expo is to develop robots that can perform healthcare functions for humans.
One robot maker said the underlying technology that can produce robots that play soccer is basically the same as the technology that produces robots who can care for people.

Does Branded Food Product Advertising Help Or Hurt Farmers?
AbstractThis study investigates market conditions when food processor/handler brand advertising, whether undertaken by an investor-owned firm or by a cooperative, will benefit or harm farmers. Addressing this question provides insight into the policy issue of whether and when promotion funds intended to benefit farmers should be used in support of brand advertising. Analysis of a two-stage oligopoly-oligopsony model shows that advertising by an investor-owned firm is most likely to be harmful to farmers when it takes place in a relatively unconcentrated industry and when advertising is relatively more effective at creating brand market power than at increasing total demand.

Spokane, WA (Sports Network) - Kevin Pangos had 18 points as No. 3 Gonzaga clinched the West Coast Conference regular season title with an 81-50 win over San Diego on Saturday.
Kelly Olynyk scored 14 points with nine rebounds, while Elias Harris added 12 points and five boards for the Bulldogs (27-2, 14-0 WCC), who have reeled off 10 straight wins to take the top spot in the conference.
"We had a great weekend, especially on the defensive end," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "We did an unbelievable job of sticking to our assignments."
Chris Manresa had a game-high 19 points for the Toreros (13-16, 6-8), who have dropped their past four games.
This game was in stark contrast to the Feb. 2 matchup in San Diego that saw the Bulldogs barely escape with a 65-63 victory that was capped on a Harris block in the closing moments.
Holding a 7-2 lead early, Gonzaga scored the next seven points with an Olynyk 3-pointer make it a 10-point game less than six minutes in.
San Diego was able to hang around and keep the game from getting out of hand in the first half and a Manresa layup in the final seconds made it a 37-23 lead after 20 minutes.
An 8-2 run to start the second half gave the Bulldogs a 20-point lead and a 13-0 run later in the half, which saw the Toreros go over five minutes without a point, gave the team a 67-32 advantage after a Drew Barham 3-pointer with 9 1/2 minutes left.
Gonzaga cruised to the finish line from there, leading by as many as 37 points.
Gonzaga leads the series, 62-21 ... The Bulldogs shot 54.5 percent and grabbed
38 rebounds, while holding the Toreros to just 35.7 percent shooting and 22
rebounds ... Gonzaga plays at Portland on Thursday.

Valentine's Ultimate Date Tours – February 11, 12, and 14, 2012
February 11, 12 and 14th, 2012
Looking to come up with something new and inspiring to take your special someone on Valentine's Day? The Exploratorium has you covered with the Ultimate Date Tour – a steamy walk through the museums most romance-worthy exhibits. See the inner workings of hearts and flowers. You can also discover your genetic secrets by taking part in "Your Family Jewels: DNA Extraction," where a simple swish of spit renders a library of personal details! Then witness the fertilization of live sea urchin eggs - which happen to be incredibly similar to human eggs.
There is more to a bouquet of flowers then just a beautiful thing to give as an expression of love. Come discover the purpose behind their allure as staff Explainers dissect one for you, and uncover the mechanisms behind plant reproduction. Want to better under the muscle that is both a metaphor for love, and the pump that keeps us alive? Now you'll have a chance at seeing a heart dissection, where Explainers will focus on showing you the details and the function of its parts. (Hearts for dissection come from slaughterhouses, where they would usually be thrown away).
In addition to the tours and dissection talks, the Exploratorium's Cinema Arts Department will be screening Helen Hill's visually stunning multi-media film, The Florestine Collection, (2010). This experimental work has a truly heartfelt story, and a bitter sweet back-story. The film, utilizing a collage of animation, found footage and home movies in super8 and 16mm, tells the story of a forgotten seamstress in New Orleans. Tragically, Hills died during the making of this work, and her husband, out of love for her, recently finished the film. Don't miss this chance to see The Florestine Collection.

Genre: Historical Romance, Medieval, England
Lynn captivates readers with a rich, intense romance between a warrior and the lady of the castle. The story is enriched with historical details, lots of action and sensuality.
Lady Lea of Montreau tries to stay neutral, but she's caught in the middle of a battle for the throne between King Stephen and Empress Matilda. The newly widowed Lea knows that it is only a matter of time before one of them tries to take over her lands.
Lord Jared of Warehaven is looking forward to taking control of Montreau and having the lovely Lea at his mercy. She jilted him at the altar years earlier and married another. But Lea willingly welcomes his protection. The attraction between them still burns hot, but the obstacles before them seem endless -- greedy relatives, ardent suitors and warring monarchs. And not until they learn to trust in each other can they overcome all obstacles. (HARLEQUIN, Jan., 288 pp., $5.99)

TV's 'Huge' Takes on Fat Camp
Kate Tuttle: When I was in high school, an unpopular boy named John, chubby and bespectacled, took advantage of his parents' absence and threw a party. As seems to always happen when the adults are out of town, his suburban house was soon completely filled with teenagers; even in those pre-text, pre-Facebook days, our whole class knew to converge on John's house. A bunch of us were in the master bedroom, swilling beer and tipsily snooping through his mother's bedside table, when we found it: a snapshot of John, our host, shirtless and smiling, in front of a banner announcing that he and the other overweight teens in the picture were at fat camp. It wasn't called "Fat Camp," of course, but the picture couldn't have been more clear.
My friends and I took one look at the picture, shook our heads and put it back in the drawer. It was as if we had seen him naked -- we felt ashamed for him, as if we had crossed an embarrassing threshold. But I never forgot that picture, how John looked happy and proud in the company of other overweight teens, while in our school he was often picked on and alone.
"Huge," which debuts tonight on ABC Family, takes us all to fat camp. The hourlong drama follows a group of hefty teens at the fictional Camp Victory. It stars "Hairspray's" Nikki Blonsky. Although I haven't seen the show yet, promotional photos make it clear that the actors themselves are quite overweight, not your typical Hollywood versions of fat (like Renee Zellweger going from a size 0 to a size 6 to play Bridget Jones). While I applaud the realism of the casting -- and also the opportunity for actors of this size to get work -- I hope the show manages to avoid the two clichés it naturally faces: easy, tasteless jokes about obesity (like the sight gags that accompany any person of size in, say, an Adam Sandler movie) and glorification of a "big is beautiful" idea that ignores the very real health risks faced by the obese.
The truth is that America is in the midst of an obesity epidemic -- which is why fat camps for kids (and, increasingly, for adults as well) are big business. But outside of these protected environments, overweight teens face the same mixed messages we all do in this culture: an abundance of cheap, fatty foods and an entertainment industry that frankly promotes a beauty ideal unreachable by 99 percent of the population. It's hard enough to get through adolescence at an average size; for those who don't fit in due to weight, the teen years must be excruciating.
TV has been obsessed with weight in the past few years (witness the success of "The Biggest Loser," "Dance Your A** Off," "More to Love" and so on). But television has a hard time treating bigger people as if they're just, well, people. They have to fit some stereotype, whether it's for cheerful hilarity or disgusting laziness. If it can sidestep these clichés, "Huge" could be really beneficial -- a television show that shows overweight kids they're not alone, and that they're as varied and valuable as any other people their age.
In a nation struggling with obesity in all age groups, finding the right mix -- a message that promotes health and also healthy self-esteem -- will be as difficult as it is lifesaving.
Well I sincerely enjoyed studying it. This article offered by you is very effective for good planning.

Washington, DC
Thursday, August 9, 2012
Behavioral education specialists discuss how school disciplinary measures can have a negative impact on a child's life as part of the Department of Education's Office of Safe and Healthy Students 2012 national conference.
Research shows that punishment-oriented discipline systems are not effective in "preventing problem behavior, improving school climate, supporting academic achievement, and addressing student disproportionality or equity outcomes."
Additionally, suspension and expulsion have been found to increase a student's chance of entering the juvenile justice system, repeating a grade and dropping out of school.
Experts discussed other effective ways to manage student behavior and examine barriers to implementation.
Participants included: George Sugai, who oversees the University of Connecticut Center for Behavioral Education and Research; and Christopher Chatmon of the Oakland, California school district, who oversees the African American Male Achievement Project there.
The Office of Safe and Healthy Students works to reduce drug, alcohol and tobacco use, and violence in schools.

The Unequal Burden of War: The Effect of Armed Conflict on the Gender Gap in Life Expectancy
AbstractMost combatants in armed conflict are men, so naturally men are the major direct victims of military operations. Yet armed conflicts have important indirect negative consequences on agriculture, infrastructure, public health provision, and social order. These indirect consequences are often overlooked and underappreciated. They also affect women arguably more so than men. This article provides the first rigorous analysis of the impact of armed conflict on female life expectancy relative to male. We find that over the entire conflict period, interstate and civil wars on average affect women more adversely than men. In peacetime, women typically live longer than men. Hence, armed conflict tends to decrease the gap between female and male life expectancy. For civil wars, we also find that ethnic wars and wars in failed states are much more damaging to women than other civil wars. Our findings challenge policymakers as well as international and humanitarian organizations to develop policies that tackle the large indirect and long-term negative health impacts of armed conflicts.Equal authorship.

|Please place new discussions at the bottom of the talk page.
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Modernism article.
|Archives: 1, 2
|Modernism has been listed as a level-3 vital article in Art. If you can improve it, please do. This article has been rated as C-Class.
|This article is of interest to multiple WikiProjects. Click [show] for further details.
|This article has an assessment summary page.
|This talk page is automatically archived by MiszaBot I. Any threads with no replies in 1 week may be automatically moved. Sections without timestamps are not archived.
Section: Late 19th to early 20th centuries[edit]
I have doubts about the inclusion of the long list of modernist writers -- which I added at some point! -- it disrupts the flow of the article. Should it be deleted and in its place a link provided to Modernist literature? The alternative would be to place it at the very end of the article. At the same time there is a need for more discussion of modernist literature, but in the following section, 'Explosion, 1910–1930'. There is also, surprisingly, no discussion of the film, or sculpture. Rwood128 (talk) 13:57, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
Beginnings -- combine first two sections?[edit]
Is there any objection to combining the following sections?
- 1.1 Beginnings: the 19th century
- 1.2 Late 19th to early 20th centuries

- I'd recommend keeping them separate. The first seems intended to deal mainly with context and precursors, and defining when modernism is thought to have begun; the second with the early flourishing of modernism. It makes sense to treat this material in two sections, although at present the two are not well differentiated. Ewulp (talk) 23:08, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
I experimented with removing the division, and was rather surprised to find that it already reads like it might be one document. 1.1 in fact does deal with the late 19th century in more than one place. 1.2 needs serious pruning, and not only where it covers material more appropriate to the next section, and this could reduce it to half its current length. 1.1 would also be improved by judicious cutting. However, for now I'm focussing on providing more citations. Rwood128 (talk) 00:12, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Further thoughts:
- (1) The cut-off date between section 1.1 and 1.2 is roughly 1880, but the major turning point in the 19th century for modernism was in the 1850s and 1860s, with the development of impressionism and symbolism in France,.
- {2) Section 1.2 focusses on background history, philosophers, physicists, etc, and most of its discussion of modernist art and literature is also covered in 1.3.
Is the idea of one section for the 19th century, with a sub-heading, say 'Impressionism and Symbolism in the 1850s and 1860s', or 'The beginnings of modernism in France', acceptable?
- There is a need, in the article as a whole, to draw attention to the idea that modernism in the English-speaking world came later than in France.Rwood128 (talk) 13:02, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Rwood128 (talk) 13:02, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- Your ideas sound good to me. 'The beginnings of modernism in France' is the better subheading; we don't want to imply that Impressionism began in the 1850s. Ewulp (talk) 18:16, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Modernism: 1930–1945 -- no real discussion of art[edit]
Given the strong focus on art in this article, it is surprisingly there is hardly any mention of it -- or music, architecture, sculpture, for that matter -- in the above section. Even Picasso's Guernica (1937) is ignored. Is there any expert out there who can fix this serious gap?
Also British art seems to be mostly ignored before WWII, but is this because there were no significant modernist artists in the UK until the second half of the 20th-century? Rwood128 (talk) 23:21, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
- I added text - ...Modernist (talk) 00:01, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
- British art takes off after WWII; Henry Moore and The "London School" including Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff, and Michael Andrews as well as David Hockney, Anthony Caro, and many others; see: Art of the United Kingdom...Modernist (talk) 00:08, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
Great job -- that was certainly fast! Perversely, (and ungratefully) I now wonder if there's now a little too much detail for this context? This is certainly true with regard to Guernica. Is there any objection to some cautious pruning? Rwood128 (talk) 00:48, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
Modernism vs Modern Art[edit]
Neither this nor Modern art article describe what constitutes the difference between the two concepts. What's more, the two terms seem to be used interchangeably on both pages. In fact, it's hard to find the difference between the two concepts anywhere in the internet. Do you think these articles should be merged? Konryd (talk) 19:19, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not qualified to comment on the question posed re modern art vs. modernist art, but this article deals with literature and music, etc, as well as the visual arts. Also I don't believe modern is always a synonym for modernism, even with regard to 20th-century painters and sculptors, as there are Neo-Romantic painters. And I was already wondering about the inclusion of following in this article: "Social Realism and American Scene Painting, in the work of Grant Wood, Edward Hopper, Ben Shahn, Thomas Hart Benton". Rwood128 (talk) 22:00, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
Modernism is a philosophy which impacted and influenced religion, literature, music, visual art, culture and attitudes toward the past, present and future. Modern art refers to painting and sculpture and other forms of visual art. Grant Wood, Edward Hopper, Ben Shahn, and Thomas Hart Benton all reflect modernist attitudes in their work. Hopper clearly expresses alienation; loneliness, and isolation through his work; Shahn uses caricature and irony to reflect political insight; while Benton exaggerates and simplifies his dissection of social mores; while Grant Wood also used satire and irony to portray his version of contemporaneous isolation and alienation. I think all of those artists are reflections of modernist thought albeit taking different form and using more conventional imagery than Pollock, Picasso, Matisse and Duchamp...Modernist (talk) 04:03, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Would the following emendation to the opening preamble be acceptable?
- The term Modernism describes the modernist, innovative, avant-garde movement in the arts, its set of cultural tendencies and associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Because some modern painters, sculptors, composers, writers, etc. have not radically broken with past traditions, the term modernism is not used here as synonymous with modern, or contemporary. Modernism rejects the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking, and many modernists rejected religious belief.[1][2]
Poor lead[edit]
I find the current lead paragraph vague and poorly worded. I copy edited it and replaced the definition (sourced to the OED) but it was reverted without specific reasons. Bhny (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Dear Bhny. I was the one that reverted your good faith edits. Here is why: You wrote
- "Modernism is a movement in the arts that aims to break with classical and traditional forms."
- "[Modernism is a] movement in the arts that aims to break with classical and traditional forms."
The text prior to your copy-and-paste intervention seemed better. See source: Pericles Lewis, Modernism, Nationalism, and the Novel (Cambridge University Press, 2000). pp 38–39. Coldcreation (talk) 00:00, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
- Done. What I have attempted to fix is the lack of a meaningful definition (a movement about what?), and also remove the redundant "term that describes" wordiness. Bhny (talk) 01:01, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Take the sentence from your source: 'Modernism is a movement in the arts that aims to break with classical and traditional forms'. Just as Modernism was not restricted to the arts, it was comprised of many movements, and it was not categorically a "break", but a continuation in many cases. Also, classical and traditional forms of what? Forms and shapes? Forms of expression? That source needs to be overhauled. Coldcreation (talk) 01:09, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
- Both of our versions say that it is a movement in the arts. Bhny (talk) 01:13, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Yes, true, I was in the process of modifying my answer above when you posted. I was thinking of architecture and so on, then I saw the disambiguation page. Nevertheless, the sentence from your source is too vague and inaccurate. Coldcreation (talk) 01:18, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
- Forms as in "forms of art". Just saying it is a movement isn't helpful. The second paragraph says that it favors the new over the traditional. Why can't we say something meaningful like that in the first sentence. Bhny (talk) 01:25, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
- I think the lead remains poor. "Modernism" is a post-rationalisation and lumping together of many disparate things believed by some to have a common cause of some sort. The article has dispensed with the dictionary definition, which seems to say this more or less and what such common cause might be, in favour of something more concrete, detailed and I find more misleading. Most of the introduction seems to therefore to be POV. Though it is referenced it provides a particular view because that is what it seems to set out to do. LookingGlass (talk) 19:03, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
Abstruse jargon[edit]
The following makes use of too much abstruse jargon: "of reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms." Are there any good synonyms? Rwood128 (talk) 12:46, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
- Perhaps the solution would be to provide concrete examples of these various techniques? Rwood128 (talk) 13:20, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
In fact the citations provide quotations that explain the technical terms, though because most readers won't realise this, these quotations needed to be paraphrased and incorporated into the text. Rwood128 (talk) 19:01, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Alonzo King's Lines
Don't hate them because they tour Europe and have muscles that might be more believable on a mid-level Greek god than on a human. They're still just people - very strong, preternaturally graceful people. Curving and undulating in an otherwordly sort of way, the dancers don't just mark the technique, they've mastered the level of soul and personality that Alonzo King cultivates in his company.
King has built a reputation for originality, sleek athleticism, and diverse ideas drawn from far beyond the sometimes stuffy dance sphere. Collaborating with Central African pygmy singers, Shaolin monks, and most recently the San Francisco Opera, King continues to expand the reach of a style that remains rooted in ballet while venturing into new territory. Lauded as one of the most sophisticated in the world, Alonzo King's LINES is one company you want to see.

WaterLinks, PLLC, andTransition Asheville, sponsors of the Water Sustainability Initiative (WSI), together with the Lenoir-RhyneCenter for Graduate Studies of Asheville and the United Nations Association of Western North Carolina, are presenting a water forum titled "What You Can Do To Tackle Local Water Concerns." The evening will include the experiences of individuals, current updates, and potential solutions for everyday citizens to use to address water-related issues found in recentAsheville news reports.
The topics and speakers will include:
Sherry Ingram, Professional Geologist and Lead Person on the WSI, will present some simple demonstrations that will show why the solutions offered by the WSI - plants, tanks, earthworks, and community engagement - can address not only drought and flood conditions but contamination as well.
The water forum will be held at the Board Room of theLenoir-RhyneCenterfor Graduate Studies of Asheville, in the Chamber of Commerce Building at36 Montford AvenueinAsheville, 6-9 pm, on July 31, 2014.
Western North Carolinais fortunate to have a lot of rain, even during drought, and climate predictions include increases in precipitation amounts. Ingram stated, "How we move and store our rain affects how much water remains available for keeping the streams full, the plants lush, the air cool, and the soils moist. Many methods for managing rain water are readily available, cheap, and easy to implement. Water management becomes an issue we can all do something about, not just an issue for our utilities and municipalities."
Thanks to Transition Asheville, Peace and Fun Gardens, Living Systems Design, RiverLink, Asheville Green Opportunities, Clean Water for North Carolina, Ace Hardware, and the many individuals who have helped us reach our goals.
WaterLinks is an environmental consulting firm addressing clean water issues through point-source removal and water availability issues with training in simple water planting and harvesting methods, site-specific water availabilty assessments, water retention planning and implementation, and data collection.
Reaching across the disciplines of geohydrology, hydrology, meteorology and biology to view the hydrologic cycle from a wider perspective, WaterLinks emphasizes the interactions of these specialized fields to maximize water's availability.

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) -- Gonzaga's offense and zone defense both started working really well in the second half.Once the Bulldogs (No. 9 ESPN/USA Today, No. 8 AP) stopped turning the ball over, their matchup zone was even more effective and they pulled away to an 88-76 victory over Maryland (No. 20 ESPN/USA Today, No. 23 AP) on Monday in the opening round of the EA Sports Maui Invitational."I was really apprehensive about this game and the key is we took care of the ball in the second half and that's not easy against Maryland," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "We battened down the hatches and really settled down in the second half."Preseason All-America Adam Morrison scored 25 points, Derek Raivio had 24 and J.P. Batista added 21 for Gonzaga (2-0). The Bulldogs advanced to Tuesday's semifinals where they will play No. 12 Michigan State, which beat Chaminade 89-67.After committing 12 turnovers in the first half, Gonzaga only had five in the second.The Bulldogs' matchup zone was really effective over the final 10 minutes of the game, holding Maryland (1-1) to four field goals in that span, three of them coming in the final 1:14."We had too much adrenaline going in the first half," Raivio said. "We were taking quick shots, but we settled down in the second half."D.J. Strawberry's breakaway dunk with 9:26 left brought the Terrapins into a 60-all tie. Maryland's next field goal was a 3-pointer by Strawberry with 4:03 left that cut Gonzaga's lead to 72-65.The Terrapins missed seven straight shots before Strawberry's long jumper. Chris McCray made two free throws with 3:10 left to make it a five-point game, but freshman Jeremy Pargo hit a 3-pointer 27 seconds later to start a 6-0 run that Raivio capped with a layup that made it 78-67 with 1:57 left."We didn't make a shot. We had them but we didn't make them," Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "That's the way it is. You have to make shots."Pargo finished with 11 points and seven assists.McCray had 18 points for Maryland, while Strawberry added 16 and Mike Jones 12.The Bulldogs shot 55.8 percent (29-for-52), including 7-for-13 from 3-point range.Maryland, despite the late shooting slump, still hit 48.3 percent (28-for-58), but it committed 23 turnovers as Gonzaga racked up 15 steals."Percentages can be misleading," Williams said. "We weren't good with the ball. We had 23 turnovers. You have that many against a team as good as Gonzaga and you're in trouble."Morrison, Batista and Raivio, all keys for Gonzaga last season in its run into the Top 10, scored all the points for the Bulldogs in the run that pulled them away from the 60-60 tie. Raivio hit two 3s in the spurt and he also had a nice pass to Morrison for a layup."They have the big bodies and Coach said I had to let the game come to me," Morrison said. "We did that as a team in the second half."Williams credited the Bulldogs' three scorers."Gonzaga really showed a lot of poise in the second half," he said. "Their three main guys stepped it up the way you want to see from your veterans."This is Gonzaga's second appearance at Maui with a fourth-place finish in 2002. The Terrapins lost in the 1994 championship game and went 1-2 in 2000.

An interesting point. Something to keep in mind I'd think as you listen to people.
Marshall McLuhan (via chrbutler)
Jon Rubinstein, in a leaked company-wide memo:
In that spirit, Richard Kerris, head of worldwide developer relations for webOS, reminded me yesterday of the first reviews for a product introduced a little over ten years ago:
"…overall the software is sluggish" "…there are no quality apps to use, so it won't last" "…it's just not making sense…."
It's hard to believe these statements described MacOS X — a platform that would go on to change the landscape of Silicon Valley in ways that no one could have imagined. I think that analogy works."—
I hope for their sakes that it's true as well. WebOS always sounded and looked interesting, I just never got a good amount of time in with it.
Daring Fireball Linked List: Jon Rubinstein Sends Message to HP Staff; Addresses TouchPad Reviews
Ideas like this disturb me greatly. The idea that we need outside confirmation of significance to have personal meaning, if becoming emergent, I doubt now, I'll ever accept.
Somewhat agree. Things could be better on this front.
Do you wonder why our economy is in such a mess? Do you wonder why the world you grew up with and thought you knew doesn't seem to be the world you live in? Do you feel less safe today than you did 10 years ago? Do you wonder why the most powerful nation in the world still feels unsafe? Do you sometimes wonder if the nation will survive and wonder how it will survive? Are you concerned about how much foreign ownership of business there is?
These are all hallmarks of information revolutions. For example, when the printing press was introduced, Spain was the most powerful nation with a cosmopolitan outlook, support for science and exploration and unheard of wealth. Yet as that information revolution worked its way through Europe, it became economically out competed; a political, cultural, and scientific backwater. They were bested by their former colony, Holland (The Spanish Netherlands) and the little no-account island upstart country – England. Trade was almost entirely taken over by foreigners. Their gifted and brilliant finance minister Gonzalez de Cellorigo lamented,
"… there are rich who loll at ease or poor who beg, and we lack people of the middle sort, whom neither wealth nor poverty prevents from pursuing the rightful kind of business enjoined by Natural Law"[i]"—
An intriguing read. Well worth it I think.
I like these kinds of articles, where they delve into the deep past and bring out insights for today.

SALINAS, Calif. - On Saturday, November 23, 2013, the Hartnell College Foundation hosts its Eighth Annual Western Stage Gala featuring a special performance of the musical Crazy for You. This special event is a fundraiser to benefit the Western Stage and its programs.
The evening will start at 5:30 p.m. with a strolling dinner, a hosted full bar with local wines and specialty drinks, an assortment of desserts, silent auction, and culminating with the Tony Award-winning musical Crazy for You. The Gala will take place at Hartnell College Performing Arts, Building K, 411 Central Avenue, Salinas, California.
Theater captures the imagination of those who want to sing and dance under the stage lights, but it also has the power to bring communities together to keep this art form alive. Thus the theme of Ken Ludwig's musical Crazy for You, with music and lyrics by Ira and George Gershwin, this wacky send-up of the Great American Musical is also a tribute to the transformative power of theatre.
When Bobby Child, a failed musical theatre actor in New York City, is recruited by his ruthless banker mother to foreclose on a small, community theatre in the Gold Rush town of Deadrock, Nevada, he is inspired by both his dreams of becoming a big time hoofer and his budding romance with Polly Baker, the daughter of the owner of the theatre he's supposed to foreclose. He decides to stage a musical spectacular that will save the theatre from his mother's heartless machinations and win Polly's heart.
Tickets for the Gala are $100 per person. Season Reserve your tickets today for this musical celebration to benefit The Western Stage programs and its students. Tickets can be purchased at www.hartnellfoundation.org or by calling (831) 755- 6810.

ST. LOUIS -- The City of St. Louis Treasurer's Office is pleased to announce that Xerox and Parkmobile have been selected to upgrade parking meter technology in the City of St. Louis.
Xerox will be responsible for upgrading parking meters and software technology, while Parkmobile will be responsible for launching a smartphone app to pay for parking. During the recent six month parking technology field test, Xerox hosted the pilot site at Euclid and Laclede in the Central West End. That site featured single space meters, multi-space meters, and smartphone payments.
Xerox was one of four companies to respond to an RFP issued last fall by the Treasurer's Office as part of an ongoing effort to modernize operations. The goal is to provide St. Louis with a cost-effective on-street parking system that allows people to use cash, credit cards and mobile phones to pay for parking.
"The innovative partnership between Xerox and City of St. Louis will create a more modern and convenient parking system," said Brett Peze, vice president, Parking Solutions, Xerox. "Our goal is to provide world-class technology upgrades to make it easier for people to understand, find, and pay for parking."
Xerox and Parkmobile were selected based on their experience in the parking operations industry, the cost to upgrade technology, their performance during the field test, and feedback from the Citizens Advisory Committee and the public.
"Parkmobile is very excited to launch our mobile payment parking service in St. Louis, another progressive thinking city," said Cherie Fuzzell, CEO of Parkmobile USA, Inc. "This technology offers customers a new and better way to pay for parking. Our mobile payment service is an example of another technology that can make our lives easier and more efficient."
"Now that we have selected the winning vendor, the next step is to change the meters at the remaining three pilot sites to the Xerox meters," said Tishaura O. Jones, Treasurer of the City of St. Louis. "Changing the rest of the meters in the city will be a phased-in process based on the feedback we receive from the parking study that is currently being conducted by Desman and Associates. We look forward to work with Xerox, Parkmobile and Desman to create a first class parking operation for the City of St. Louis."
The parking study is expected to be completed this fall, and the parking meter installation and smartphone app launch is expected to begin during the fall as well. The cost of this project will be around $5 million.
