  More (short) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
More is a stop motion short film created by Mark Osborne in 1998.
More was written and directed by Mark Osborne, and created by a team that included, among others, Keith and Shannon Lowry, Rick Orner, Nick Peterson, and David Candelaria.
Although it was only a 6-minute short, it was, as Osborne put it, an "absolutely massive undertaking"-- as it was the first short to be shot using the IMAX format.

 The Life of Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)
More's desire for monasticism was finally overcome by his sense of duty to serve his country in the field of politics.
More had garnered Henry's favor, and was made Speaker of the House of Commons in 1523 and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in 1525.
In April, 1534, More refused to swear to the Act of Succession and the Oath of Supremacy, and was committed to the Tower of London on April 17.

 Return of the Great American Short Story?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
They're convinced both are highly refined forms that are, essentially, too snooty to attract a large audience, and they're not going to publish any more of the stuff than is absolutely necessary to give one of their writers — or themselves — the faintest of literary veneers.
In short, the bigger and more profit–driven publishers have become — i.e., the more dedicated to the lowest common denominator — the fewer short story collections they publish, except, as I say, as glossing every now and then for some whipper–snapper–novelist–in–training, or as a sop to one of their major authors.
People more familiar with Wharton's classic novels will not be surprised to learn that her penetrating wit, and keen eye for character and the ironies of social convention are well–suited for the subtlest form of fiction.

 Fool.com: Fool FAQ - Shorting Stocks
Ahem, short interest is simply the total number of shares of a company that have been sold short.
What you are referring to, in investment parlance, is a "short squeeze." When a number of short sellers all try to "cover" their short at the same time, that does indeed drive the stock up.
If you are short as of the ex-dividend date, you are liable to pay the dividend to the person whose shares you have borrowed to make your short sale.

 Short Stories [encyclopedia]
The short story, as a form in writing, is prose writing of less than 20,000 words (and usually more than 500 words) which may or may not have a narrative arc.
If it is more than 20,000 words it is a novel, though it should be noted that these words counts are very arbitrary and have more to do with what is saleable than with any sort of aesthetic decision.
Thus the modern short story was born from a combination of aesthetics and economics.

 More Short Trips
More Short Trips - the cleverly-titled follow-up to the popular Short Trips volume of short stories - takes the time travellers on another careering course of exciting escapade throughout time and space.

 More short intervals, or less longer intervals? - Mtbr.com Forums
Even your ability to recover from short, hard efforts is primarily a function of your aerobic capacity, rather than your ability to produce lots of power during those short efforts.
Short intervals train your body to be able to produce lots of power for a short interval (depending on rest interval; as MTBDOC indicated, short intervals with short rests are more like a longer, steady, lower power interval).
The primary role of short intervals (with long rest intervals) in training is to improve the quality of those short efforts, not to increase your ability to do them 100 times over the course of a 2 hour race (which is what we have in my part of the world too).

 British Medical Journal: Bullying in school: are short pupils at risk? Questionnaire study in a cohort
More short pupils than controls claimed to have been bullied at some time in secondary school.
Short boys were more than twice as likely as control boys to be victims and much more likely than control boys to say that bullying upset them.
Short pupils had as many good friends as did controls (72/92 (78%) [Nu] 95/117 (81%)), but significantly more spent break time alone at least once a week (9/92 (10%) [Nu] 2/117 (2%), P=0.032).

 Short interest is rising -- a bullish or bearish sign? - Nov. 28, 2005
Short interest on the Nasdaq hit a record in October and was virtually unchanged in November, dipping less than half a percentage point.
But one fund manager said that rising short interest should not be construed as a contrarian positive sign and that investors should steer clear of stocks that are being targeted by short sellers.
Kevin Gates, co-manager of the TFS Market Neutral fund, which has both long and short positions in stocks, said that individual stocks with a high percentage of their shares being shorted are not wise investments.

 Short Women More Successful With Men   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Shorter women are more likely to have long-term relationships with men, and more likely to have children, according to a study of 10,000 people born in the UK in 1958.
Of more importance, there are many types of social dances for which it is definitely to a couple's advantage for the man to be several inches taller than the woman or it won't work well.

 The mystery of the "short" cappuccino. By Tim Harford
The drink in question is the elusive "short cappuccino"—at 8 ounces, a third smaller than the smallest size on the official menu, the "tall," and dwarfed by what Starbucks calls the "customer-preferred" size, the "Venti," which weighs in at 20 ounces and more than 200 calories before you add the sugar.
The short cappuccino has the same amount of espresso as the 12-ounce tall, meaning a bolder coffee taste, and also a better one.
Having sampled the short cappuccino in a number of Starbucks across the world, I can confirm that it is a better drink than the buckets of warm milk—topped with a veneer of froth—that the coffee chain advertises on its menus.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | William Boyd: Brief encounters
Melville wrote short stories as he laboured with Moby-Dick, saying, "My only desire for their 'success' (as it is called) springs from my pocket and not my heart." And yet, in the process, he wrote works of short fiction ("Bartleby" and "Benito Cereno" among others) that have become classics.
A more pertinent comparison - to try to pin down the essence of the two forms - is poetry: to compare the epic with the lyric.
The short story is the perfect pedagogical tool for this kind of education and conceivably the tens of thousands of stories being written (and read) in these institutions are cultivating a taste for the form in the way that the mass-circulation magazines did in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

 ScienceDaily: Teenage Depression Can Be Enduring, But Is More Often Short-lived
Teenage depression is widespread and can become a life-long illness, but is more often transitory, said UCLA Psychology Professor Constance Hammen, who will discuss her research at an invited address May 27 at the American Psychological Society's annual convention in Los Angeles.
Twenty percent of the children of depressed mothers developed depression by age 15, a rate of depression twice as high as that of the children of non-depressed mothers.
Girls were more than twice as likely as boys to show depression at both ages 15 and 20, Hammen said.

 Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
In short bursts, the energy conversion rate appears to decrease as the burst progresses.
Since GRBs occur along an axis, as opposed to an expanding spherically, their lower power and lack of afterglow could simply be the observational "selection effect" whereby the Earth is at the very edge of the GRB "cone" and so astronomers only weakly detect the burst.
In this way, short duration GRBs and their less energetic X-ray counterpart, the X-ray flash (XRF) -- are both "really" both regular (long-duration) GRBs, as seen from a glancing angle.

 TheStreet.com: Short Selling
Selling short is a way investors make money on stocks that they believe are going to decline in price in the near future.
To sell a stock short, you borrow the shares from your broker, then sell the shares and hold the money and wait for the stock to fall.
More and more short-sellers must buy shares to cover their short position, putting greater upward pressure on the stock price.

 BBC NEWS | Health | Glass shape 'affects drink size'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
People are more likely to pour extra alcohol into short, wide glasses than tall, narrow glasses, a study says.
Students also said they thought the tall glasses held more, suggesting they were trying to compensate for size when pouring into the short, wide glasses.
Lead researcher Brian Wansink said the findings suggested people should think more carefully about the measures they pour and it might be useful to mark on glasses to signify what equates to a shot.

Short row shaping can eliminate the step effect you get when you bind off shoulders.
A little cuppage created right into your garment might just be the difference between gaping armholes, an un-intended ride-up by your belly button, or having to make a size larger that fits your chest but sags on your hips and shoulders, because the garment is just too big.
For a B-cup with ease, you could short row until 3 stitches on each side of front have been wrapped, which would solve the armhole gaping problem many of us have.

 It pays to be tall. By Steven E. Landsburg
Their names are Nicola Persico, Andy Postlewaite, and Dan Silverman of the University of Pennsylvania, and they've uncovered a key bit of evidence: Tall men who were short in high school earn like short men, while short men who were tall in high school earn like tall men.
But partly also because a kid with self-esteem is more likely to join the teams, clubs, and social groups where he learns to interact with people.
But thanks to Persico, Postlewaite, and Silverman, we really do know a lot more than we used to about how and why the very tall are different from the rest of us.

 News: Short glasses: More alcohol - myDNA
In separate studies, the researchers asked 198 college students (43 percent female) of legal drinking age and 86 professional bartenders (with six years experience on average and 38 percent of whom were female) to pour a shot (1.5 oz.) of spirits into either short, wide tumblers or tall, thin highball glasses.
The college students consistently poured 30 percent more alcohol into the short glasses than into the tall, and the bartenders poured 20 percent more.
Because people generally consume most (92 percent) of what they serve themselves, the issue of pouring accuracy is relevant to policy makers, health professionals, consumers, law enforcement officials and alcohol addiction and abuse counselors, the authors wrote.
