  • DELAGE CLUB of AUSTRALIA (Inc) December 2014 Assn A0022114G
    DELAGE CLUB OF AUSTRALIA (Inc) December 2014 Assn A0022114G Adieu Gerald (Dooly) Baker - bon vivant On 30 September, St Peter’s Catholic Church in Toorak was overcrowded with a sad but appreciative throng celebrating the life of Dooly Baker on what would have been his 72nd birthday. The eulogies by friends and colleagues covered Dooly’s childhood and education, his successful and varied business career, and a very active social life centred on love, family, friends, and the diverse groups with whom he shared interests, food, wine and good times. Dooly’s daughters Alex, Philippa and Kate broadened the picture with details of his great interest and skill in Ianguages, literature and the arts. Alex explained that Dooly surprised her Di-Lorenzo parents-in- law with a speech in Sicilian. Kate, who shares her father’s interests in many of these fields and in particular in matters Gallic, described how in recent years Dooly embraced a new French mistress – the lovely CO Delage, a pleasure generally shared with Angie. In recognition of this passion, those attending included a significant number of Delage and Vintage members. The Perns came in the DE tourer, and I gave the D6/70s an outing. Walking out of the church, I encountered a smiling Mark Burns rejoicing in the fact that he survived his second visit to a Catholic place of worship without the ghost of Calvin striking him speechless or some worse fate. Perhaps the spirit of that other Celt from across the Irish Sea – the reformed Ian Paisley - had played a role? Most of us adjourned to the Australia Club where Dooly had clearly made his mark as a member.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Brooklyn Law Review by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. The Paradox of Race-Conscious Labels Leslie Yalof Garfield† “I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices.”1 INTRODUCTION What a difference a label makes! In the recently decided Fisher v. Texas2 case, a majority of the Supreme Court defined Texas’s Top Ten Percent Law as a race-neutral means of achieving viewpoint diversity.3 This law, enacted in its original form by the Texas legislature in 1997, guarantees admission to the state’s leading public universities for every Texas student who graduates in the top 10% of his or her high school graduating class.4 The goal of this law is to achieve viewpoint diversity in the state’s higher education systems, which it does by relying on Texas’s diverse school system, composed of individually homogenous schools drawn on geographic boundaries, to collectively produce a diverse entering class. By categorizing the Top Ten Percent Law as race-neutral rather than race-conscious, the Court excused Texas from defending its diversity initiative against a rigorous equal protection challenge, leaving the Law intact.

    BREEDING AND POPULATION ECOLOGY OF SOOTY TERNS ON ASCENSION ISLAND by B.

ABSTRACT Seabird breeding success and population size on many oceanic islands have declined in recent years as a result of predation by non-native mammals. On Ascension Island, South Atlantic the sooty tern Onychoprion fuscatus breeding population declined precipitously in size in the 1970s. Despite cat eradication in 2003 and a cull of predatory mynas, the tern population between 1990 and 2012 consistently contained 350,000 birds. Shortages of small fish within foraging range of Ascension driven to the sea surface by once more prevalent tuna rather than cat predation probably caused the 1970s decline. Abundance and size of rats increased in response to cat eradication with the impact of rats on the size of the seabird population similar to the combined impact of both cats and rats.
