No full textBlack and white photograph of Rice Institute Owls basketball player Henry D. "Tim" Timmons, headlining his achievement into the Rice Athletic Hall of Fame.Caption reads: The Rice Institute Owls of 1918 had an exceptional team in basketball led by an exceptional player in Henry D. Timmons. Timmons was All-SWC and also the leading scorer of the entire SWC of that club. Those Owls won the first ever SWC team crown in any sport for Rice in those early years of “The Institute”. Henry Davis Timmons was born on August 28, 1901 in Corsicana, the son of M/M Andrew Davis Timmons. His father was manager of the Jesse Jones lumber companies. The family, including two sisters moved to Houston when Tim was only 3. He attended Central High, then entered Rice to become a fine engineering student as well as a basketball star. His college stay was interrupted by World War I, and he left campus to become a Seabee to make use of his engineering skills. But Timmons returned to Rice after WWI, and again won All-SWC honors as a cage star and team captain in 1921 before getting his civil engineering degree. After completing his Rice years, where he was a 6-3 center and team captain for basketball, Timmons went on to be an outstanding engineer. He was one of only two marine engineers in the USA called in to help on construction of the famed Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Tim Timmons was of an early time when the Rice Owls were just beginning to make their name known around the Southwest and the nation. He was one of the best of the early stars establishing a foundation for a respected all-around athletic program.Rice Athletic Hall of Fam

Partial Reform of World Rice Trade: Implications for the U.S. Rice Sector
Get PDFThis paper analyzes the consequences for the United States of a partial reform of world rice trade. It is argued that likely trade reform would occur in the japonica rice producing countries of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the European Community. Multilateral rice trade liberalization would have strong effects for medium grain rice in the United States. The strength of these effects might not be felt for a couple of years after the liberalization has begun because of minimal Japanese imports in the first couple of years of liberalization. U.S. rice millers will likely benefit more than producers. California producers would be the major beneficiaries of more open world rice markets.trade liberalization, rice, japonica rice, agricultural trade, simulation model, Crop Production/Industries, International Relations/Trade,

Ep. #169 - Tim Ingold
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic talk corporate irresponsibility—looking at you ITC and Boeing—on this week’s podcast. Then (13:44) we welcome the legendary Tim Ingold to the conversation. We start by talking about his new book, Anthropology: Why it Matters (Polity Press, 2018) and Tim explains why he thinks the practice of science should be grounded in art. We move from there to the importance of amateurism, how much impact phenomenology has had upon Tim’s thinking about biosocial being, and why he wanted to write a manifesto about anthropology’s relevance today. We engage his arguments that anthropology’s attention to different ways of thinking and being in the world are crucial speculative resources and how overcoming the conventional concept of inheritance might be the key to overcoming the opposition between the biological and the social. We turn from there to understanding life as a constant flow of re/productive activity and the temporal and performative basis of shared imagination. That leads us to his second recent book, Anthropology and/as Education (Routledge, 2018) in which Tim pushes back against the idea that education is about the transmission of information. From there we talk about what fascinates him about architecture, how to think about creation beyond the imposition of form on to matter, process ontology and why clouds are not furniture of the sky. We close on the Anthropocene and how Tim views the goal of sustainability not as solving all problems for all time but of giving each generation the possibility of starting afresh
