By drawing on the expertise of its members, the Council will:
- Support institutional excellence at the University
- Enable greater communication between the University and alumni

Congratulations and welcome
We would like to congratulate and welcome new members, Jenny Taing and Margaret Quixley to the Alumni Council. We would also like to congratulate Dr Joseph Doyle on his re-appointment to the Alumni Council, with thanks for his continuing service.

|Ms Margaret Quixley (MIR 2013)
I am a recent graduate of the University of Melbourne and founder of Young Opportunities Australia – a social enterprise that provides information, support and advice to students and graduates seeking personal and professional development opportunities.
I am passionate about empowering students and young people to realise their full potential, by connecting them to the opportunities, contacts, skills and support they need to find or create productive, fulfilling and engaging employment. I know firsthand the challenges that many students face in entering a highly competitive and global employment market, and seek to bridge the gap between university and employment by working in partnership to ensure young people are leaving university employment-ready.
As a member of the Council I look forward to developing and implementing outreach activities to better support University of Melbourne students. I represent the breadth of experiences of many contemporary students, having interned, volunteered, studied and lived overseas. I also have sound experience in not-for-profit governance, policy and advocacy settings, having worked in this sector for more than six years.

I also have expertise in public health and the intersection between medicine, global health and health policy. I am a fellow of Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
I am currently the Deputy President of the Alumni Council, having served on the Council since 2011. I am committed to ensuring the Council engages graduates' views on university governance, and that the University maintains a strong relationship with its alumni.
In addition, I have been a member of University Council, Board of the Faculty of Medicine, and the Committee of Convocation - the former alumni representative body.

what exactly is a dutch oven...
and how does it differ from a heavy pot with lid? (lol, not a cook here, obviously!)
I guess it depends on how heavy a pot with a lid you are talking about. The dutch ovens I have had are VERY heavy, either cast iron or enameled iron, and they have tight-fitting, heavy lids. They hold heat very well and the lids prevent the moisture from escaping. They also either have had rings or spikes on the inside of the lid, so that water, once it condenses, is forced to drip back down on the food instead of just hanging around up there in the lid.
FWIW, Le Creuset calls their dutch ovens "French Ovens." They are made of cast iron with enameled surfaces outside and inside. They're pricey but very worth it. I think Staub now has a line that is similar but less expensive.
You can find cast iron dutch ovens for much less money, but they take a little more effort to maintain. Lodge is a good brand in new cast iron. Old dutch ovens can be found at flea markets and yard sales. They can be scrubbed well or even sandblasted to remove any rust, then re-seasoned. With regular cast iron, you need to clean carefully with hot water, a brush and very little, if any soap to preserve the seasoned finish. And you don't put cast iron into the dishwasher. I don't even put my Le Creuset in the DW.
Originally called a Dutch oven, because you can cook on top of the stove and the food comes out like it was in the oven.
The old dutch ovens had a ridge around the top of the lid where you could put coals from the fire....and set the pot down on a spider over the fire.....so things cooked from the top as well as from the bottom.
The picture in the link is a new one....but old style.
Linda C
Here is a link that might be useful:
You've never had good food until you've come back to camp from a cold day hunting and dug the dutch oven out of the pile of coals and ashes you heaped on it, opened it, and found a perfectly cooked venison stew.
You then fire up the fire and in another dutch oven make a quick batch of biscuits or spoon bread.
While you're eating, the peach cobbler is cooking in a third dutch oven.
All of this is washed down with loads of hot coffee, and it's all eaten while sitting around a blazing camp fire with some of your best friends.
When you're all too fat and too happy to move, that's when the stinking trophy buck decides to walk through camp to see what's going on.

I went to look at a white 2012 Chevy Impala LT with my wife and 8yrs old son. I was really impressed with the salesmen. They keep my son entertained for an hr as I talked to Rick about the car. They even let him sit in a Corvette and a Camero ZL1! I was impressed with how Rick didn't pressure me on buying options that I didnt want. The price for the car was very fair. I was impressed on how nice the facility was! It was cool to buy a car from an Iowa Hawkeye fan! Go Hawks! Will be looking for a truck in a few yrs. This is where I plan on going! Thanks to all the staff at Community Motors! I even got a fuel tank of gas!

"Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse."
"Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties; it accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap."
"Out of monuments, names, words, proverbs, traditions, private records and evidences, fragments of stories, passages of books, and the like, we do save and recover somewhat from the deluge of time"
"How can two gay guys be in favor of legal same-sex marriage and huge fans of the traditional family without wanting to marry?"

Love the moter sound at the beginning.. and the industrial sounds throughout.. the moter sound gave it almost a horror "CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-" feelingi n the background.
You always were top notch on this site Waterflame.. glad to see you providing a good example for the rest of the site. Really I don't have anything to complain about for this song - brilliantly executed.. good job!

Really cool use of the motor sound, totally fitted with the music which is really awesome. The style of the song was pretty funky too. Very unique. Loved the choirs and epic parts. Really neat track! Loving it! Perfect in my mind.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
it's ironic that in the beginning, it sounds like there is conflict, exactly what you felt when making this song. and as for keeping in your excitement, you were pretty crap with that. :D
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Waterflame you make Really Good Songs!!
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Yeah, too funky. I'll pass.

How Do You "Feel" Jewish?
At my congregation in New Orleans, I teach an adult beginner Hebrew class. There are many different types of students in the class: Jews who want to be able to better follow the prayers in Hebrew during services; Christians who want to be able to read passages from the Bible in the original language; Jews preparing for an adult bar/bat mitzvah; and those in the process of conversion to Judaism.
Last week I fielded a question from a woman in that last group. Her question was not about Hebrew, but about Judaism: "I am coming to the Rabbi's classes, I have learned the history and holidays and all pertinent information, I am learning how to read Hebrew… but I still don't think I understand what it feels like to be a Jew. What should it 'feel' like?"
I invited her to attend Shabbat services with me that Friday night and sit with me so I could show her in live action what being Jewish feels like to me – how praying, hoping, and coming together with other Jews moves me, personally. She was hesitant at first; wasn't there an easier answer? Could she "Google it on her own," or figure out some other way to get this question answered, on her own time frame and by herself?
Quite simply… no.
Judaism is a communal experience. Yes, we can learn information on our own, but when we attend a class or have a study buddy, that's when there is debate and discussion— and that is the Jewish way to learn. Yes, we can pray on our own, but when we attend a Shabbat service, meet and greet others, and pray together, we share a bond with our community like no other—and that is the Jewish way to pray. Judaism is, above all, a shared experience. No matter how big or small our Jewish community, the fact that we come together is meaningful.That sense of connection—that is the way to "feel Jewish."
I don't know if there is a way to teach someone a feeling, but when you show them how you feel things and where you feel things and why, they begin to understand and maybe can feel it for themselves. My student did come to services last Friday night, and sat beside me. After being nervous about the initial peer pressure to get up and greet someone that you don't know, she participated. After experiencing the connections, right from the beginning of the worship experience, she said to me: "This really is a communal experience."
Quite simply… yes.

Mazes vs. Labyrinths: How Do You See Life?
What is the difference between a maze and a labyrinth?
A maze – as many of us know – is intended to be a structural challenge. Starting from point A, participants are challenged to make it to Point B, while avoiding as many wrong turns as possible, wrong turns that wind-up at potentially costly dead-ends.
Labyrinths, on the other hand, have no dead ends. Instead, they have just one path that twist and turns itself to the center and back again, ending where it began though – because of the journey taken – participants feel and even arguably are different than before.
"So, which one typifies the journey of your life: the maze, or the labyrinth?"
This is the question I have begun to pose to participants of our newest ISJL rabbinic project: The Linda Pinkus Memorial Labyrinth, which is presently in the testing-stage and is slated to be released in early 2014.
And remarkably, in reviving this centuries old practice in Judaism, an interesting pattern has emerged. Among younger adults, an overwhelming majority sees life more like a maze; while among older adults life is likened more to a labyrinth. But, why? What accounts for this difference?
According to the ensuing conversation, younger adults identified with the maze more because the course of life – as they saw it – is dictated by choice. Choose the right way, you are rewarded with success. Choose the wrong way, and you'll end up squandering precious time and resources.
"Yep," slowly responded an older gentleman. "But, looking back, you come to see that whether life's a maze or labyrinth, there's still only one way through. It's just that a labyrinth incorporates the dead-ends into the journey as twist and turns of lessons learned that made one's life interesting to live."
Whether one is looking forward or back, each has a valued perspective on the course of our human lives. But, what's life look like from where you stand? Is it more like a maze or labyrinth? I'll hope you'll continue this conversation, which may reveal even more meaning about the course of our lives!

Icky, sickly zinnias
What on earth could be wrong with my zinnias? They ARE second-generation, grown from seeds I collected last year, but last year's were gorgeous, and this year the stems started to turn a sickly brown, the leaves look withered and the blooms die early. I don't see any bugs, but that doesn't mean much since my eyes aren't what they use to be. Any ideas?
I agree with Al, with emphasis on the mildew. If it is one of the mildews, you can try drenching the plants with a 'home-brew' of 1 tablespoon milk and 1 teaspoon baking soda mixed into 1 quart of water. Repeat after every rain. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not. Nothing will recover the portions which are dead, but the living plant/s might improve enough to provide you a show of blossoms in a couple weeks.
Another thought is whether or not the saved seed came from hybrid parents -- which do *not* pass the exact hybridized traits into their seeds but instead often revert to one of the grandparents genetics. "Strains", which are not quite hybrids, pass their general characteristics through the seeds - State Fair zinnia is considered to be one such strain. I mention this because I have found saved seed from State Fair does seem to have a great weakness for mildews (shouldn't, but it's happened several times) with the saved-seed-plants often being sickly, small flowered, and mildew-prone. I no longer bother saving that seed.
One of several fungal leaf spot diseases might also be the issue in your part of the country. Bacterial leaf spot could also be a problem. Heat and humidity help create the perfect conditions for the onset of these common zinnia problems. You should see some of mine!
I'm going to cull the offending plants today, and dispose of them. No more zinnias can be planted in those locations (or other disease prone plants). I will never purchase that variety again, either.
I'm going to devote plenty of annual space next year for more of the Profusion zinnias, and of course, Z. angustifolia. Though not the best for cutting, they are tireless bloomers, drought and heat tolerant, and practically disease proof!
If you are interested in a good commercial seed source, let me know.
Sure, rhizo, I'm always interested in obtaining good seeds. As far as the plants that I currently have, I guess I'll pull some of the worst and spray the ret with the recipe Meldy provided. I hate not having my usual zinnias...they normally draw so many wonderful creatures to my yard...and this year it's been lonely out there compared to last :(

Florida's wildlife officials decided to remove the manatee, which has a mild taste that readily adapts to recipes for beef, from the state's endangered-species list.

Catherine Pawluch Interviewed in CTV News Story
Source: CTV NewsNovember 10, 2012
The takeover bid for Calgary-based oil company Nexen by the China National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC) continues to be a hot-button issue in Canada.
Catherine Pawluch, Partner in the Vancouver office of Davis LLP, was interviewed by CTV News in a November 7, 2012 story as the window of opportunity for a formal national security review of the proposed deal closed without any action taken.
Pawluch eases the concerns of deal opponents in this regard, saying that even without a formal review, national security concerns can still be sufficiently addressed under the broad purview of the net benefit test.

Best Natural Gas Furnace?
Think I should change furnace,..35 years old!
Anything out there what will run this long or longer?
Was looking at a Lennox today at the home show, but not so sure with the heat exchanger, being aluminized steel? Was asking salesman how long it will last,..said about 15 years with yearly maintenance.
Looks like they want to rip me yearly! Haven't had outside maintenance done on my old one in 35 years, can change belt, filter or motor myself and lube bearings.
I'm thinking if something is better out there, like copper or stainless steel heat exchanger?
A good gas furnace should last 20-25 years. You are not going see anything made today that will last 35 years without some major repairs.
The better furnaces have lifetime warranties on the heat exchanger. This covers only the parts and not the labor. Most heat exchangers fail due to the furnace being oversized compared to the duct work. Heat exchanger design has changed from the old days in an attempt to improve the heat transfer characteristics and improve the efficiency.
In my opinion bad installations are the cause of the majority of cracked heat exchangers. Furnaces which run too hot and short cycle will cause the heat exchanger to die a premature death.
The other problem is in order to win the high efficiency race, manufacturers are using materials which have high rates of heat transfer. It is great for efficiency but not necessarily good for longevity.
I would trust Carrier/Bryant, and Trane/American Standard. Buy a furnace that has a lifetime heat exchanger warranty. Find a contractor who will do a good installation.
Thank you Mike!
These brands have more unsatisfied consumers,..see link.
Olsen has top rating.
Here is a link that might be useful: Consumer Reviews of AMANA furnaces
Don't take ANY stock in those ratings. What they should be rating are the installers. Most problems arise from the installation, followed by neglect of the homeowner of a new system.
Furthermore, most people are more apt to post a commentary / review when they are dissatisfied.
As the other poster said - Carrier or Trane, or their sisters Bryant and American Standard.

EFF Documentation Victory in Telco Spying Case 89

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
IIRC, the House already passed a bill without immunity. It's the Senate who is considering adding immunity to their version of the FISA reform bill. Then the two bills would go to conference, and a frankenstein of the two would be enacted.I hope the rest of you have called your Congressmen.
routine data deletion practices
The EFF have to find something in that discovery to win their action, and that is the uphill battle....
No, I think the real uphill battle is to get the appeals courts to treat "State Secrets! State Secrets! Look at the Wookie!" with the dignity it deserves. Once they get a court to say that State Secrets can't be used to hide State Crimes, at least one or two of the cases ought to be downhill.
"Judge Vaughn Walker ruled today that AT&T, Verizon, Cingular (now part of AT&T), Sprint, and BellSouth (also part of AT&T now) must all maintain any data or papers related to the NSA spying case that Walker is overseeing in California.

RICHMOND—We're six days away from the Redskins' preseason opener and defensive coordinator is already annoyed with game officials over new rules affecting pass defense.
Referee Terry McAulay and some other officials are in the middle of a three-day visit to Redskins training camp to teach players, coaches, and the media about some rule changes. One of them deals with contact between a pass receiver and a defender. The grabbing of jerseys in particular will be flagged more readily than it has been in the past. During seven on seven drills on Thursday, several flags
During Haslett's meeting with the media on Friday, one reporter prefaced his question by saying that he had just talked with McAulay and the 14-year veteran referee said that coaches and players are going to have to change the way they coach and play in pass coverage. That did not sit well with Haslett.
"You know what I would tell the official? I would tell him that he needs to worry about officiating and we'll coach the team," said Haslett.
"He needs to worry about calling interference because he called about four or five yesterday where there was nothing."
"So tell him to worry about his job, we'll worry about our job."
