Dream Interpretation | Rice is good to see in dreams, as it foretells success and warm friendships. Prosperity to all trades is promised, and the farmer will be blessed with a bounteous harvest. To eat it, signifies happiness and domestic comfort. To see it mixed with dirt or otherwise impure, denotes sickness and separation from friends. For a young woman to dream of cooking it, shows she will soon assume new duties, which will make her happier, and she will enjoy wealth. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

Condoleezza Rice (born November 14, 1954) became Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor, on January 22, 2001, under President George W. Bush. She is the second African American and first woman to hold the office.
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, she earned her bachelor's degree in political science, cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver in 1974; her master's degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1975; and her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver in 1981. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has been awarded honorary doctorates from Morehouse College in 1991, the University of Alabama in 1994, the University of Notre Dame in 1995 and the Mississippi College School of Law in 2003.
At Stanford University, Rice is a tenured Professor of Political Science, Senior Fellow of the Institute for International Studies, and a Fellow (by courtesy) of the Hoover Institution. From 1993-1999 she served as the Stanford Provost.
From 1989 through March 1991, the period of German reunification and the final days of the Soviet Union, she served in the George H. W. Bush Administration as Director, and then Senior Director, of Soviet and East European Affairs in the National Security Council, and a Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. In 1986, while an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, she served as Special Assistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 1997, she served on the Federal Advisory Committee on Gender -- Integrated Training in the Military.
Rice was a member of the boards of directors for the Chevron Corporation (which named an oil tanker Condoleezza Rice after her, later quietly renamed Altair Voyager), the Charles Schwab Corporation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the University of Notre Dame, the International Advisory Council of J.P.

(This article is about the food grain. See also Rice (disambiguation).)
Rice (Oryza sativa) is a plant of the grass family, which provides the bulk of the human diet throughout Asia, i.e. feeds more than half the world's human population. Rice cultivation is well suited to poor countries, as it is very labor-intensive but can be grown practically anywhere plenty of water is available for irrigation, even on steep hillsides. Rice is the world's third largest crop, behind maize and wheat—both of which have significant uses outside of human nutrition.
Rice is often grown in paddies--shallow puddles (typically 15cm depth), carefully controlled to ensure the appropriate water depth. Rice paddies sometimes serve a dual agricultural purpose by also producing edible fish or frogs, a useful source of protein. The farmers take advantage of the rice plant's tolerance to water: the water in the paddies prevents weeds from outgrowing the crop. Once the rice has established dominance of the field, the water can be drained in preparation for harvest. Paddies increase productivity, although rice can also be grown on dry land, including on terraced hillsides, often with the help of chemical weed controls.

Oryza sativaReferences ITIS 41975 2002-09-22 In some instances, a deepwater strain of rice, often called floating rice is grown. This can develop elongated stems capable of coping with water depths exceeding 2 meters (6 feet).
Rice paddies are an important habitat for birds such as herons and warblers. They perform a useful function in controlling insect pests.
Whether it is grown in paddies or on dry land, rice requires a great amount of water compared to other food crops, making rice growing a controversial practice in some areas, particularly in the United States and Australia, where rice farmers use 7% of the nation's water to generate just 0.02% of GDP.
Draft genomes for the two commonest rice cultivars, indica and japonica, were published in April 2002.
The seeds of the rice plant are first milled to remove the outer husks of the grain; this creates 'brown' rice. This process may be continued, removing all of the husk, creating 'white' rice. The white rice may then be buffed with glucose or talc powder, parboiled, or processed into flour.
The processed rice seeds are usually boiled or steamed to make them edible, after which they may be fried in oil or butter.
Rice varieties are often classified by their grain shapes. For example, Thai or Siamese Jasmine rice is long-grain and relatively less sticky, as long-grain rice contains less starch than short-grain varieties. Chinese restaurants usually serve long-grain as plain unseasoned steamed rice. Japanese rice and Chinese sticky rice are short-grain. Chinese people use sticky rice to make dumplings.
Indian rice varieties include long-grained Basmati (grown in the North), medium-grained Patna and short-grained Masoori. One variety, available in the South Indian state of Kerala, is usually referred to in English as boiled rice. This is prepared by boiling it just after harvesting, in huge pans, often over coconut-shell fires, to kill any fungi or other contaminants. It is then dried, and the husk removed later. It often displays small red speckles, and has a smoky flavour from the fires.
Scientists are working on so-called golden rice which is genetically modified to produce beta carotene, the precursor to vitamin A. This has generated a great deal of controversy over whether the amount of beta carotene would be significant and whether genetically modified foods are desirable.
Specific rice dishes include risotto, paella, sushi, pilaf, and the Indonesian rice table.

Rice University is a well known university in Houston, Texas.
Rice can also be a derogatory adjective referring to modified family cars, sports cars, or any type of vehicle. Generally this term refers to those cars which look fast (or look 'overdone') but have little or no modifications to the drivetrain. Modifications include, but are not limited to: large spoilers, non-functional body kits that modify the look of the car, lowering springs to make the vehicle sit lower (like race cars), flashy chromed tail lights and special headlights, larger than stock wheels with low profile tires, and of course, an extremely oversized, loud muffler. As a subcategory, in certain parts of the country, there is new usage of this term that refers to poorly modified cars, i.e. spanish rice. Generally those of hispanic descent are found driving these cars and can be readily recognized by their last name stickered boldly on the back window, and tires that stick out a few inches from the sides of the vehicle.

Rice University, founded as William Marsh Rice Institute for the Advancement of Literature, Art, and Science, opened 1912 in the Museum District of Houston, Texas.
William Marsh Rice (1816-1900), who made his fortune in Texas in the mid-19th century, left the bulk of his estate to the founding of a free institute in Houston and until 1964 Rice did not charge tuition. Even today, Rice's tuition is considerably lower than that of equally prestigious universities.
The architecture of the university is laid out in numerous quadrangles.
The '\'Academic Quad'' is centered around the memorial to William Rice, and includes the Administrative buildings (through which the Sallyport passes), the Library, and the Physics, Language, Architecture, and Humanities buildings.
The Engineering Quad is centered around the sculpture 45/90/180, and includes the Electrical Engineering building, the Mechanical Engineering building, the Chemistry building, the Computer Science building, and several laboratories.
Among other things, Rice is noted for its college system, similar to those found in some older English schools. The nine colleges (Jones, Brown, Martel, Will Rice, Weiss, Hanszen, Sid Rich, Baker and Lovett) include residential and dining facilities, social organizations and student government, as well as faculty members and alumni and community associates. This is in contrast to the fraternal systems found at other American schools.
Rice's sports teams are called the Owls. They participate in the NCAA's Division I-A, and in the Western Athletic Conference. In 2005, Rice will leave the WAC and join Conference USA. The Rice Owls Baseball team won Rice's first national title in any major sport in 2003. Rice football is known for the MOB, or Marching Owl Band, which does not march during halftime but rather performs skits and runs from formation to formation
Prof Robert Curl and Prof Richard Smalley gave Rice University its first Nobel Prize (Chemistry) in 1996 for their discovery of fullerenes.
Rice celebrated its 75th (demisesquicentennial) anniversary in 1989.
