Sir Timothy Miles Bindon "Tim" Rice (born 10 November 1944) is a British lyricist and author. An Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Tony Award and Grammy Award-winning lyricist, Rice is best known for his collaborations with Andrew Lloyd Webber, with whom he wrote Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, and additional songs for the 2011 West End revival of The Wizard of Oz, and for his work for Walt Disney Studios with Alan Menken (Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, King David), Elton John (The Lion King, Aida) and Ennio Morricone.
Rice was knighted by Elizabeth II for services to music. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is an inductee into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, is a Disney Legend recipient, and is a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.
Early life[edit]
Rice was born at Shardeloes, an historic English country house near Amersham, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom that was requisitioned as a maternity hospital during World War II. His father, Hugh Gordon Rice, served with the Eighth Army and reached the rank of major during World War II, whilst his mother, Joan Odette (née Bawden), served in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) as a photographic interpreter.[1][2] After the war, they worked for the de Havilland aircraft company.
Rice was educated at three independent schools: at Aldwickbury School, on the outskirts of Harpenden in Hertfordshire, followed by St Albans School in the city of St Albans (also in Hertfordshire) and Lancing College, near the town of Lancing in West Sussex, on the south coast of England. He left Lancing with GCE A-Levels in History and French and then started work as an articled clerk for a law firm in London, having decided not to apply for a university place.[3] He later attended Sorbonne University in Paris for a year.
After studying for a year in Paris at the Sorbonne, Rice joined EMI Records as a management trainee on 6 June 1966. When EMI producer Norrie Paramor left to set up his own organisation in 1968, Rice joined him as an assistant producer, working with, among others, Cliff Richard. Rice has collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber, with whom he wrote Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cricket, and The Likes of Us. For The Walt Disney Company, Rice has collaborated individually with Alan Menken and Elton John, creating productions including Aladdin (winning an Academy Award, Golden Globe and Grammy Award for Song of the Year for the song "A Whole New World") and The Lion King (winning the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"). In 1996, his collaboration with Lloyd Webber for the film version Evita won Rice his third Academy Award for Best Original Song with the song "You Must Love Me". Rice has also collaborated with Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson of ABBA on Chess and with Rick Wakeman on the concept albums 1984 and Cost of Living. Rice is a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.[4]
Along with his brother Jo and radio presenters Mike Read and Paul Gambaccini, he was a co-founder of the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles and served as an editor from 1977 to 1996. He has also been a frequent guest panellist for many years on the radio panel games Just a Minute and Trivia Test Match. Rice often jokes that he is most recognised in America for his appearance in the film About a Boy. The film includes several clips from a (real) edition of the game show Countdown on which he was the guest adjudicator. His other interests include cricket (he was President of the MCC in 2002) and maths. He wrote the foreword to the book Why Do Buses Come In Threes by Rob Eastaway and Jeremy Wyndham, and featured prominently in Tony Hawks's One Hit Wonderland, where he co-wrote the song which gave Hawks a top twenty hit in Albania.
He released his autobiography Oh What a Circus: The Autobiography of Tim Rice in 1998, which covered his childhood and early adult life until the opening of the original London production of Evita in 1978. He is currently working on a sequel, covering his life and career since then.
Rice was made a Knight Bachelor by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994[5] (entitling him to the address "Sir Tim Rice" or "Sir Tim"), was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1999, and was named a Disney Legend in 2002.[5]
In 2008, Rice received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[6] Tim is writing eight lyrics to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet, The Nutcracker. The working title is The Nutcracker: The Untold Story.[7]
On 2 December 2010 he addressed the eighth Bradman Oration in Adelaide.
Rice was re-united with Andrew Lloyd Webber in 2011 to pen new songs for Andrew's newest production of The Wizard of Oz which opened in March 2011 at the London Palladium. Rice has, however, rejected working with Webber again, claiming their partnership has run its course, and they are no longer relevant as a team.[8]
He will also be participating in the Bush Theatre's 2011 project Sixty Six where he has written a piece based upon a chapter of the King James Bible[9]
On 15 and 22 October 2011 Rice was guest presenter for the BBC Radio 2 show Sounds of the 60s, standing in for regular presenter Brian Matthew who was unwell.[10]
Personal life[edit]
Rice married Jane McIntosh on 19 August 1974, but the marriage dissolved in the late-1980s after the British tabloid newspapers revealed that he had been conducting an affair with actress/singer Elaine Paige.[11][12][13] Jane retains the title Lady Rice as despite obtaining a divorce decree nisi, he never made it absolute and therefore remain technically married.
They have two children, Eva and Donald. Eva, who was named after the title character from Evita, is the author of the novel The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets, which was a finalist for the British Book Award Best Read of the Year.
Tim Rice supports Sunderland A.F.C. football club.[14] He was awarded an honorary doctorate of letters by the University of Sunderland at a ceremony at the Stadium of Light in November 2006.[15] He was also a supporter of the Conservative Party, but in 2007 stated that the Conservatives were no longer interested in him and that his relationship with the Party had "irrevocably changed."[16]
Nonetheless, Rice joined Andrew Lloyd Webber, both supporters of Margaret Thatcher, at her funeral in 2013.[17]
Describing his religion, Rice has stated, "Technically I'm Church of England, which is really nothing. But I don't follow it. I wouldn't say I was a Christian. I have nothing against it." Conversely, he also stated that he adapted the Biblical stories of Joseph and Jesus to musicals because "I'd always rather take a true story over an untrue one."[18]
Rice runs his own amateur Heartaches Cricket Club, the name inspired by an Elvis Presley song.[19]
In September 1981, Rice, along with Colin Webb and Michael Parkinson, co-founded Pavilion Books with a publishing focus on music and the arts.[20]
According to The Sunday Times Rich List of British millionaires from the world of music, Rice is worth £149 million as of 2013.[21]

About Breyer Horses
Breyer® models begin as beautiful horse sculptures created by leading equine artists that are then cast into a copper and steel mold. Each model is created one at a time from the original mold, which is injected with a special resin selected by Breyer for its ability to capture the depth of detail, delicate feel and richness of color in our models. Once the model is molded, Breyer's artisans take over, and the handwork begins. Each individual Breyer® model is prepped and finished by hand and then turned over to the painting department for hand painting (with airbrushes) and detailing (with paint brushes). In all, some 20 artisans work on each individual model horse, creating an exquisite hand-made model horse that is as individual as the horse that inspired it.

My primary area is with filtration so pump troubleshooting is a bit out of the norm.
Pump (submerged) starts and runs for approx. 5 seconds before tripping the reset breaker.
Have checked voltage, wiring, changed both capacitors.
An associate suggested that the pump might have got sand blocked for not enough usage and that it needs to be pulled???? Another suggested to just replace the control panel entirely. The only part I haven't checked is the relay in the box.
Any input from the pump experts is appreciated.
The relay can make it trip the overload. I wouldn't pull the pump until I made sure the control box is all good. But the motor is probably locked up and that is what is tripping the overload.

Abstract: | Morphology control at the nanoscale is crucial for the application of polymer-nanomaterial hybrid composites. Phase separation of the constituents should be avoided when nanocomposites are prepared. In this work, highly dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in polyimides are explored. We synthesized a variety of polyimides (PIs) based on 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) and studied the resulting dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solution of the PI. We found that the molecular structure plays an important role in dispersing SWNTs in PIs, and particularly biphenyl groups without ortho substituents are critical for dispersion in common organic solvents. SWNT dispersion in PI membranes rendered the membrane electrically conductive without causing phase separation. SWNT dispersion itself did not alter the permeability of CO2. We also found that the resistance across the membrane increased with response only to the CO2 flux. The polyimide-SWNT nanocomposites may find use in CO2 sensors, CO2 separation membranes, and antistatic coatings especially under high temperatures. |

The headline was that Murphy Goode winery was going to pay someone $10,000 a month to Twitter about wine.
The job, in fact, does pay $10,000 a month for six months, and it also includes accommodations at a beautiful house in Healdsburg. Applications were made in the form of short videos, and the winner will be a "social media whiz" who gets the job and will "report on the cool lifestyle of Sonoma County Wine Country and, of course, tell people what you're learning about winemaking." Sounds like a good deal to me, and for about 3 seconds I even considered applying myself: $60,000 in six months would be a nice haul in times like this.
I think it's a brilliant stunt by Murphy Goode to generate attention to itself (which it's done in astounding fashion) as well as to ultimately get a lot of information flowing about wine in general. It's also another example of how the mode of reality television is infiltrating reality itself.
Anyway, Murphy Goode received over 900 video applications, and on Friday narrowed down them down to the final 50. Candidates Stephanie, Derek, Tanya and Craig and Adam are all from San Francisco: Five of the top 50, not bad! If you want to follow along, you can watch the video applications here. The final ten will be announced on July 7.

Is Your Marketing Good Enough to Automate?
Pete Jakob, Principal Consultant, Purple Salix
Nov 7 2013
43 mins
Marketing Automation is simple, if you believe the sales pitch from some of the software vendors. So why do most automation projects fail to deliver promised ROI benefits? Perhaps it's not all as straightforward as first thought, and there is much work to be done beyond the user training courses.
I led the deployment of Marketing Automation at IBM in the UK - now the largest B2B Automation deployment on the planet. That experience helped me realise that we're not only deploying some software, but we're really attempting to transform our whole approach to marketing campaigns.
Join this webinar to hear me share lessons from this and other MA projects - perhaps it could give you that little insight that would make the difference to your success.

Yahoo! has announced that it will be launching an iPad application that could rival the recently launched The Daily. Coming in the first half of 2011, Livestand will be available for the iPad and will deliver news personalized to your interests, location and even time of day.
Livestand will take the form of a highly visual magazine. Yahoo! will use the app to entice advertisers, by offering ads within the digital pages. The ads served will include media rich interactive content that can even be based on location. We assume the ad revenue will enable Yahoo! To deliver the content as a free app without subscription, this has not been confirmed.
Livestand should be available for the iPad in the first half of this year and will include Sports, News, Finance, Flickr and omg! content.
Would you be happy to have ads in your daily news paper if the content was good enough and the app was subscription free? Let us know in the comments!
I wouldn't mind the ads. Heck, all newspapers and magazines have ads so why shouldn't they be in an app? That is, if they keep it free... ;)
I'm waiting for this one, Yahoo! have their company officially on my country (Indonesia), so it is very possible that this electronic newspaper will be available for my country, while The Dayly (I think) is very unlikely.
Does Yahoo offer up dirty magazines to kids on their virtual news stand? That's pretty much what it gives out to children in grade schools through their pornographic photo sharing site, Flickr. That social network has more porn than all the XXX mags in the world put together, yet is not filtered as such. Yahoo's Flickr bypasses firewalls set up to block Hustler, Penthouse or other strictly adult publications. Most legit pornography distributors online are at least a bit more honest about the adult content they host, clearly labeling it for what it is. Yahoo doesn't do that at all. They try to hide the fact they publish porn and make it available to children all the time on their Flickr site. They even trick Yahoo ad clients into unknowingly sponsoring their own porn. LivingSocial, GM, and many other major companies are currently sponsoring millions of hardcore images on Flickr now thanks to Yahoo.
I would not mind ads like in traditional magazines, that is, static ads. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be clickable or interactive, but definitely not flashing/moving ads. If there is that, I won't buy it. If free, I won't return after trying it.
I'd go for it, as long as it doesn't have the performance of The Daily (TD). I've tried it several times and liked what I read but the wait is too long. I'd be happy with less graphics in return for better performance. Needs more sections, especially a tech one, IMO. It all depends on performance. If the experience is alot better (graphic heavy) but does not take too long to load (I'm ok with longer than my RSS Reeder, but not that TD long), I'd definitely be interested. I hope they have alot of those weird stories that you see on their website. I wonder if that'll be under omg!
All this is nice, but too much free news services out there with the same stories to make a subscription worth it, and most work with the iPhone also.

TLC Diet to Lower CholesterolTLC Diet to Lower CholesterolPeople have varying degrees of success in lowering their cholesterol by changing their diets. People who have high cholesterol because they eat too many fatty foods may be able to lower their cholesterol 10% to 20% with diet changes alone, while others may only achieve a 5% to 8% reduction. Those who are most successful using diet changes to lower their cholesterol are those who lose excess weight. Diet changes are usually the first step in lowering cholesterol before medicines are added. The Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet is recommended by the National Cholesterol Education Program of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The diet's main focus is to reduce the amount of saturated fat you eat, because saturated fat elevates your cholesterol. You can reduce the saturated fat in your diet by limiting the amount of meat and milk products you consume. Choose low-fat products from those food groups instead. Replace most of the animal fat in your diet with unsaturated fat, especially monounsaturated oils, such as olive, canola, or peanut. Monounsaturated fat lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol if it is substituted for saturated fat and keeps HDL ("good") cholesterol up. The TLC diet calls for less than 7% of your daily calories to come from saturated fat and for eating no more than 200 mg of dietary cholesterol a day. But the diet allows 25% to 35% of daily calories from fat, mainly from unsaturated fat.1 Most of the fat should be monounsaturated, and only 10% should be polyunsaturated fat. Your diet should include only enough calories to maintain your desired weight and avoid gaining weight. References

In your opinion, can laser care be a viable option for treating onychomycosis?
- Wed, 7/29/09 - 1:45pm
- 4146 reads
- 12 comments
I have not seen any data supporting the laser therapy treatment for onychomycosis. Until then, I will remain skeptical, especially when patients will be spending there hard earned money.
Reply to this comment »I can't beleive that in this day and age of evidence based practice that so many are touting this threatment before the main clinical studies are in.
Reply to this comment »Laser is not indicated for either onychomycosis that has not spread proximal to the epiniychium or infection that has spread and is in the root/matrix area. For infection that is distal to the epinychium, complete debridement of all infected nail and bed followed by prescribing topicals is effective. Although laser can be used for debridement instead of a nail burr, the cost has to be much higher, just to pay for the equipment, than using a Dremel drill and burr. Therefore, it is not indicated for distal mycotic infections. And, if the infection extends proximal to the epinychium, the laser cannot reach it, so it not indicated for this either. In other words, there is no rational indication for laser in treating mbBG3onychomycosis.
Reply to this comment »Like Lamisil I think we can expect a nearly100% eventual reoccurance with Laser treatment.
This is supported by the epidemiology.
The cost is twice what Lamisil used to be and the effectiveness is about the same. Lamisil is generic now and very cheap.
Liver problems have been overblown.
probably be a short lived treatment option like the silicone injection etc.
Reply to this comment »I believe it is a marketing gimic.
Is this new modality covered by insurance or medicare and at what price do people have to pay for this service?
Reply to this comment »it is being promoted by dpm's as having a 85% cure rate with absolutely no studies or scientific evidence. it is another example of the cart before the horse in podiatry. it is false advertising and deceitful to the public. if it is shown to be successful in the future, every dpm would have one and not a select few.
dr. jon haber
Reply to this comment »I feel the laser will be ineffective proportionately with the increased deformity of the nail plate.
Reply to this comment »I haven't read exactly how it works. Just the sales pitch that it is a one time treatment with permanent results. But does it hurt? How much does it cost? Are the surgery centers buying these like CO2 lasers? Or does a company bring it to your office?

Your lymphatic system is crucial to keeping your body healthy. It circulates protein-rich lymph fluid throughout your body, collecting bacteria, viruses and waste products. Your lymphatic system carries this fluid and harmful substances through your lymph vessels, which lead to lymph nodes. The wastes are then filtered out by lymphocytes — infection-fighting cells that live in your lymph nodes — and ultimately flushed from your body.
Lymphedema occurs when your lymph vessels are unable to adequately drain lymph fluid, usually from an arm or leg. Lymphedema can be either primary or secondary. This means it can occur on its own (primary lymphedema) or it can be caused by another disease or condition (secondary lymphedema). Secondary lymphedema is far more common than primary lymphedema.
Any condition or procedure that damages your lymph nodes or lymph vessels can cause lymphedema. Causes include:
Primary lymphedema is a rare, inherited condition caused by problems with the development of lymph vessels in your body. Primary lymphedema occurs most frequently in women. Specific causes of primary lymphedema include:

CORRECTED-GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks soar, dollar, bond yields plunge on Fed decision
decision@ (Corrects headline, bullet point and lead to reflect bond yields, not prices, fell)
* Wall Street hits new highs as Fed keeps stimulus intact
* Fed decision not to taper bond buying catches market off guard
* Bond yields drop as Fed maintains purchases, dollar drops
NEW YORK, Sept 18 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks soared and gold jumped while the dollar and bond yields fell sharply on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve surprised investors by keeping its economic stimulus in place on concerns tighter financial conditions could slow the economy. The Dow Jones industrials and S&P 500 stock indexes shot to record highs after the U.S. central bank said it would continue buying bonds at an $85 billion monthly pace and wait for more evidence that economic progress can be sustained.
Gold, a traditional inflation hedge, soared more than 4 percent at one point and crude oil futures settled sharply higher as the Fed's move to leave its monetary stimulus program unchanged is largely seen as supporting commodity prices. Investors had widely expected the Fed, whose policy-setting committee ended a two-day meeting on Wednesday, to begin to trim its bond buying program by about $10 billion a month. "The initial reaction was positive, with people thinking, 'Here we go, more liquidity in the market.' That's a good thing as far as being an ongoing tailwind," said David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial in Boston, where he helps oversee $703 billion in assets under management. "But the decision also means the economy isn't as strong as we'd like, which has implications for corporate earnings down the road. I don't think we'll settle up where we popped." In its statement, the Fed said it would await evidence of a more stable economy before adjusting the pace of its asset purchases. The Fed also downgraded its forecast for U.S. economic growth to a range of 2 to 2.3 percent this year, down from 2.3 to 2.6 percent in its June estimates. The downgrade for next year was even sharper. The Dow and S&P closed at record highs, while the Nasdaq was at its highest since September 2000. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 147.21 points, or 0.95 percent, at 15,676.94. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 20.76 points, or 1.22 percent, at 1,725.52. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 37.94 points, or 1.01 percent, at 3,783.64.
HEADS YOU WIN, TAILS YOU WIN The market's reaction to the Fed's unexpected decision indicated stocks were in a bull market, said Ken Fisher, founder and chairman of Fisher Investments. "Up until today, they expected the beginning of the end of quantitative easing and the market rose every day (this week) into that. That doesn't happen, and the market reacts positively anyway. What does that tell you? It's a bull market," he said. "It likes it if it's heads, and it likes it if it's tails." About 580 stocks on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market hit new 52-week highs. About 325 stocks hit those highs after the Fed announcement. Trading was heavy, the biggest volume day since late June. Priceline.com Inc shot to an intraday high of $1,001, the first company in S&P 500's history to surpass the thousand-dollar mark. Shares in the online travel agency closed up 2.6 percent at $995.09. Spot gold rose as high as $1,366.39 an ounce, or about 4.3 percent on the day. U.S. Comex gold futures for December settled down $1.80 an ounce at $1,307.60 prior to the Fed statement. The dollar fell to a seven-month low against the euro and yields on U.S. government debt dropped to their lowest in more than a month. The dollar index fell as low as 80.203, the lowest since mid-February. It was last at 80.088, down 1.3 percent. The euro climbed to a seven-month peak of $1.3518 and last changed hands at $1.3516, up 1.19 percent. "The Federal Reserve remains quite concerned about the overall sluggishness of the economy, preferring to take the risk of being too loose for too long as opposed to tighten prematurely," said Mohamed El-Erian, co-chief investment officer at Pimco in Newport Beach, California. The Fed caught bond investors off guard. Investors had been pulling out of bond funds on expectations of higher yields, while others hedged bonds, mortgages and other fixed-income holdings vulnerable to a rate spike as the Fed looked set to begin the long road of withdrawing its stimulus. Benchmark 10-year notes were last up 1-10/32 in price to yield 2.6951 percent, down from 2.86 percent before the statement. They fell as low as 2.673 percent, the lowest since Aug. 13. Brent oil for November delivery settled $2.41 per barrel higher at $110.60. The previous session, Brent settled at a six-week low. U.S. crude for October delivery settled $2.65 per barrel higher at $108.07 a barrel after trading as high as $108.25.
