Publishing Policies
Australian Journal of Zoology insists on high standards of ethical behaviour throughout the publication process. Our journal editors work within the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Further information on our policies can be found at http://www.publish.csiro.au/zo/PublishingPolicies.
Peer review
Australian Journal of Zoology is a peer-reviewed journal that uses a single-blind peer-review. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible to maintain high-quality peer-review of papers submitted to the journal and works together with the Editors and an Editorial Advisory Board to ensure a thorough and fair peer-review and the highest scientific publishing standards. All submissions undergo preliminary assessment by the Editor-in-Chief, who may reject a paper before peer review when it is outside the journal's scope or is of insufficient quality. Editors select reviewers and after at least two review reports are received, they make the decision whether to accept/reject or send a manuscript for revision. The final decision is made by the Editor.
The conditions around authorship for Australian Journal of Zoology should follow the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), for more information see http://www.publish.csiro.au/zo/PublishingPolicies.
Licence to publish
For details regarding copyright, please see Copyright/Licence to Publish.
Open access
Authors may choose to publish their paper Open Access on payment of a publication fee. See Open Access for more details.
Rapid communications
When justified, these will be considered for publication; such articles should be fewer than 4 printed pages (8 manuscript pages) in length, including tables and artwork.
Animal experimentation
Papers reporting work with animals must include a reference to the code of practice adopted for the reported experimentation. Editors should ensure that peer reviewers consider ethical and welfare issues raised by the research they are reviewing, and to request additional information from authors where needed. In situations where there is doubt as to the adherence to appropriate procedures or approval by the relevant ethics committee, editors are required to reject these papers
CSIRO Publishing also follows CSIRO's own guidelines on animal welfare.
Manuscript submission
By submitting their paper to the journal, all authors confirm that the content has not been published and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Abstracts and posters from conferences, where the full data set is not presented and the interpretation of results is not developed, would not normally be regarded as publications. The Editors recognise that grey literature often forms the basis of peer-reviewed publications; if a submitted manuscript includes material that has been disseminated in report form, the authors should explain this in their cover letter. Editors will consider such manuscripts on a case-by-case basis.
The Journal requires that all authors of a multi-authored paper agree to its submission. The Journal will use its best endeavours to ensure that work published is that of the named authors except where acknowledged and, through its reviewing procedures, that any published results and conclusions are consistent with the primary data. It takes no responsibility for fraud or inaccuracy on the part of the contributors.
To submit your paper, please use our online journal management system ScholarOne Manuscripts, which can be reached directly through this link or from the link on the journal´s homepage. If a first-time user, register via the ´Register here´ link, or use your existing username and password to log in. Then click on the ´Author Centre´ link and proceed.
A covering letter must accompany the submission and should include the name, address, fax and telephone numbers, and email address of the corresponding author. The letter should also contain a statement justifying why the work should be considered for publication in the journal, and that the manuscript has not been published or simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Suggestions of possible referees are welcome during submission. Suggested referees should be independent experts in the field. Authors should be aware that approaching suggested reviewers is at the discretion of the Editor. Intentionally falsifying reviewer details will result in rejection of a manuscript.
Authors are advised to read recent issues of the journal to note details of the scope of papers, headings, tables, illustrations, style, and general form. Observance of these and the following details will shorten the time between submission and publication. Poorly prepared and unnecessarily lengthy manuscripts have less chance of being accepted.

Checklist for preparation of manuscripts
Australian Journal of Zoology typesets all papers directly from the electronic files submitted. This allows us to provide a proof more quickly but the benefits are lost if the manuscript is not prepared to our requirements.
- Type the manuscript double-spaced throughout, including references and figure captions. Type the text unjustified and without end-of-line hyphenation, except in the case of compound words. Add line numbering.
- Type the title and all headings aligned left, with only the first letter of the first word and of any proper name capitalised.
- Main headings (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, References) are set in bold roman (not italic) type. Minor headings are set in light italic type.
- Do not indent paragraphs or use a carriage-return (Enter) at the end of lines within a paragraph.
- Do not use initial capitals for vernacular names of species except where the name is based on a proper name (e.g. regent honeyeater, but Port Lincoln parrot; sugar glider, but Leadbeater´s possum).
- Use ´s´ not ´z´ in words such as ´recognise´, ´analyse´ and ´organisation´.
- Use the conventions ´from x to y´, ´between x and y´, ´range x–y´.
- Use single quotation marks.
- Check that all references mentioned in the text are in the References list, and vice versa.
- List references in the text in chronological order, separated by semi-colons. List references in the References list in alphabetical order. In the text, do not use a comma between the author´s name and the date.
- Give journal and book titles in full in the References list.
- Do not use tabs to create hanging indents within the References.
- Spell out numbers less than 10 unless with a unit. Type a space between a numeral and its unit.
- Prepare figures with symbols and letters appropriate for the reduction intended. Use Helvetica, Arial or another sans-serif font in figures.
- Check that stippling and/or symbols in figures are legible at the size likely to be used in the published paper.
- Type tables with the title as a separate paragraph. Put explanatory matter referring to the table as a whole in a headnote, which should be in a separate paragraph from the title, and directly under the heading. Tables should be formatted using table cells, not tab spacing.
- Check that figures and tables are numbered in the order in which they are discussed in the text.
- Suggest a running head for the paper of not more than 50 characters (including spaces).
- Provide a postal address, telephone and fax numbers, and an email address for the corresponding author.
General Presentation
The work should be presented in concise and clear English. The Introduction should not exceed what is necessary to indicate the reason for the work and its essential background. Sufficient experimental detail should be given to enable the work to be repeated. The Discussion should focus attention on the significance of the results.
Supplementary material of a detailed nature that may be useful to other workers but is not essential to the printed paper may be lodged as Supplementary Material with the Journal, provided that it is submitted with the manuscript for inspection by the referees. Such material will be made available from the website and a note to this effect should be included in the paper.
If the paper is one of a series and a part not yet published needs to be consulted for a proper understanding of the paper, a copy of that manuscript should be supplied to assist the referees.
This should be concise and appropriately informative and should contain sufficient keywords to facilitate retrieval by modern searching techniques. An abridged title suitable for use as a running head at the top of the printed page and not exceeding 50 characters (including spaces) should also be supplied.
The Abstract (less than 200 words) should state concisely the purpose and scope of the work and give the principal findings as well as a brief indication of the implications of the results. It should be complete enough for direct use by abstracting services. Acronyms and references should be avoided in the Abstract.
In addition, authors of accepted papers are asked to provide a short summary that captures the essence of the work and puts it clearly into context. These summaries will appear in the journal´s online Table of Contents, email alert and RSS feed to promote the paper and help readers to understand its significance, outcomes and applications.
The short summary should be three sentences (~60 words) in total, free from jargon, and written at the level of an article in a good newspaper. The first sentence should engage the reader and highlight the importance of the research. The second sentence should describe the aim of the work and the main discovery. The final sentence should describe how the results fit into the bigger picture. To accompany the text, we also welcome a colour photograph or other image that highlights an important aspect of the work. If a photo credit is required, please provide details to your Production Editor. The image should be submitted as a 96 dpi JPEG file and must be no wider than 9 cm and no higher than 4 cm.
Conflicts of Interest
A ´Conflicts of Interest´ section should be included at the end of the manuscript. It should identify any financial or non-financial (political, personal, professional) interests/relationships that may be interpreted to have influenced the manuscript. If there is no conflict of interest, please include the statement "The authors declare no conflicts of interest".
References are cited chronologically in the text by author and date and are not numbered. All references in the text must be listed at the end of the paper, arranged alphabetically; all entries in this list must correspond to references in the text. In the text the names of two coauthors are linked by ´and´; for three or more the first author´s name is followed by ´et al.´. No editorial responsibility can be taken for the accuracy of the references; authors are requested to check these with special care.
Titles must be included for all references. Papers that have not been accepted for publication may not be included in the list of references and must be cited in the text either as ´J. T. Smith, L. M. Jones and A. N. Baker, unpublished data´ or as ´J. T. Smith, personal communication´; the use of such citations is discouraged. Titles of periodicals must not be abbreviated.
References should be in the following formats:

Authors are requested to use the International System of Units (Système International d´Unités) for exact measurements of physical quantities and where appropriate elsewhere. The double solidus must not be used in complex groupings of units; the negative index form (e.g. g kg-1 h-1) is preferred.
New taxonomic names
This journal complies with the requirements of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Authors are expected to register all new taxonomic names with ZooBank, the Official Registry of Zoological Nomenclature, after the manuscript has been accepted for publication.
Mathematical formulae
Judicious use should be made of the solidus to avoid two-line mathematical expressions wherever possible and especially in the running text. Each long formula should be displayed on a separate line with at least one line of space above and below. Set up complex mathematics using an equation editor using Times New Roman, Arial and Symbol fonts only.
Enzyme nomenclature
The names of enzymes should conform to the Recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee of the IUB on the Nomenclature and Classification of Enzymes as published in ´Enzyme Nomenclature 1984´ (Academic Press, New York, 1984). If there is good reason to use a name other than the recommended name, at the first mention of the alternative name in the text it should be identified by the recommended name and EC number. The Editor should be advised of the reasons for using the alternative name.
Chemical nomenclature
The nomenclature of compounds such as amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, steroids, vitamins, etc., should follow the recommendations of the IUPAC–IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature. Other biologically active compounds, such as metabolic inhibitors, plant growth regulators, buffers, etc., should be referred to once by their correct chemical name (which is in accordance with IUPAC rules of Chemical Nomenclature) and then by their most widely accepted common name. Where there is no common name, trade names or letter abbreviations of the chemical may be used.
Statistical evaluation of results
The tests should be described briefly and, if necessary, supported by references. Numbers of individuals, mean values and measures of variability should be stated. It should be made clear whether the standard deviation or the standard error of the mean has been given.
The design and conduct of experiments must be sufficiently explained that readers can judge for themselves the validity of the results. Authors should describe how measurements were made and indicate how treatments were assigned to units or blocks, and the number of replicates. When common experimental designs such as randomised block or split-plot designs are used a reference is not necessary, but it is appropriate to cite a reference for little-used methods or designs, in which case the use of these methods should be justified. The experimental design dictates the proper method of statistical analysis and the basis of assessing the precision of treatment means. The precision achieved should be reported by a standard error of the treatment mean or a coefficient of variation. Wherever possible, the assumptions implicit in the analysis should be checked. Ultimately, the statistical analyses should highlight the biological principles embodied in the results.
Tables must be formatted in cells using the table menu in Word, not spaced using tabs. They should be numbered with arabic numerals and each must be accompanied by a title. A headnote containing material relevant to the whole table should start on a new line. Tables should be arranged with regard to the dimensions of the printed page (22.5 by 17.5 cm) and the number of columns kept to a minimum. Long headings should be avoided by the use of explanatory notes, which should be incorporated into the headnote. The symbol for the unit of measurement should be placed in parentheses beneath the column heading. Prefixes for units should be chosen to avoid an excessive number of digits in the body of the table or scaling factors in the headings. When scaling factors cannot be avoided, the quantity expressed should be preceded by the power of 10 by which the value has been multiplied. For example, the value ´500´ would appear as ´5´ under the heading ´102 × n´ and the value ´0.05´ would appear as ´5´ under the heading ´10-2 × n´. Horizontal rules should be inserted only above and below column headings and at the foot of the table. Vertical rules must not be used. Each table must be referred to in the text. Only in exceptional circumstances will the presentation of essentially the same data in both tabular and graphical form be permitted; in general, the tabular form should be used. Short tables can frequently be incorporated into the text as a sentence or as a brief untitled tabulation. Footnotes in tables should be reserved for specific items in columns.
Electronic submission of figures is required. Colour photographs are accepted, but the journal does not cover the cost of their printing. Please contact the Production Editor if you wish to publish photographs in colour. Photographs and line drawings should be of the highest quality and, if not created digitally, should be scanned at high resolution: photographs at 300 dpi at final size, saved as JPEG files; line drawings at least 600 dpi at final size in black and white format, saved as EPS or TIF files. Colour scans must be submitted in CMYK format for printing purposes, not RGB.
Computer-generated graphs and diagrams should be saved in one of the following formats: Excel; encapsulated postscript (.eps) or Adobe Illustrator (.ai); illustrations created in PowerPoint should be saved in PowerPoint as Windows metafiles (.wmf); CorelDraw files should be saved as EPS or AI files; charts created on a Macintosh computer should be saved in EPS, PS or PICT format. In all cases they must be editable vector graphic files. Unsatisfactory artwork or electronic files will be returned for modification.
Proofs and reprints
Page proofs are sent to the corresponding author for checking before publication. Proofs should be checked and returned by email to the production editor by the date specified. At this stage only essential alterations and correction of typesetting errors may be undertaken. Excessive author alterations will be charged to the author. Reprint order forms and prices are enclosed with the proofs (free reprints are not provided) and should be completed and returned to the production editor with the proofs. Corresponding authors will be sent a free PDF of their paper on publication. There are no page charges.

Having problems with your Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Camera ?
THe camera can't always find it's memory card even though it is in there. After turning it off & on again a few times, it does, but then the camera is also randomly turning itself off for no apparent reason. Is this a battery issue or do I need a new camera?
Answers :
OK, to be honest, i will always rather try to fix, than to replace. But, in this case it sounds like an internal circuit error. The repair cost for this problem will basically cost you the same as a new camera.
So, at this point i would rather suggest you to buy yourself a new camera.
Kind regards

Pros: Can't think of anything
Cons: Rake has no power. More time spent hand dumping. Waste of clean litter.
The older model was great - until our house flooded and it had to be tossed out. Thinking the Elite would be good for our four cats (9, 7, 4, and 5 months), I went through an hour putting it together because the instructions were so confusing. After finally getting the container in correctly, as tricky as that is, we find that the rake has NO POWER when anything larger than a BB is in the litter. All that happens is five extremely loud tries, then nothing. Very expensive ($115) for a litter box that has to be manually emptied nine or ten times a day/night. Since all four cats have normal urinary and bowel functions, the rake cannot handle even one of their dumps. I would gladly trade Littermaid this piece of worthless junk for an older model. Customer Service is no help at all. They say it works - what they don't say is it works if there is NOTHING in the box! The motor is too loud, the rake has no power, the clean litter gets scooped into the container, small particles get trapped behind the rake making it even harder to keep it clean, and cleaning the litter box by hand was what I did not want. Buy the older model, or go to some other brand.

Polaroid Seeks Bankruptcy Extension
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, January 21, 2002
Polaroid Corp. has requested an extension on the period it has the exclusive right to file a bankruptcy reorganization plan.
The company requested an extension until April 29 to file the reorganization plan, spokesman Skip Colcord said. If that deadline is met, it wants until June 24 to obtain acceptance of the plan before third parties can file competing plans.
The current plan proposal period expires Feb. 11.
Colcord said the company requested an extension because it has been focused on stabilizing the business to better position it for sale
A hearing on the request is scheduled for Feb. 13 before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del. Objections may be filed by Feb. 6, Colcord said.
The Cambridge, Mass.-based company filed for Chapter 11 protection in October, faced with nearly $1 billion in debt after what analysts called years of mismanagement and a failure to make the leap from instant film to digital technology.

LONDON - Jonathan Harvey, a British modernist composer of operas and other works, has died at age 73.
Faber Music, which published Harvey's compositions, said he died Tuesday. He had suffered from motor neuron disease.
Harvey developed his style in the 1980s working at Pierre Boulez's Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics and Music in Paris. Fruits of that work were his tape piece "Mortuous Plango" and his fourth string quartet featuring live electronics.
Harvey's compositions have been featured at the BBC Proms in London, English National Opera, and the Dutch Opera. One of his last works was "Weltethos" for orchestra and chorus. It had its premiere performance at the Berlin Philharmonic last year.
He is survived by his wife and their son and daughter.

Skip to comments.Mystery of the Beast of the East River.
Posted on 07/26/2012 11:45:20 AM PDT by GeorgeWashingtonsGhost
Dubbed the 'Manhattan monster', a horrifying mystery creature with a mutilated face, snarling snout and five toes on each foot has washed up under the Brooklyn Bridge, perplexing New Yorkers.
Amateur photographer Denise Ginley snapped the ghoulish pink carcass while walking along the East River on Sunday and the grisly images, first published by The Gothamist on Monday, have sparked an array of conspiracy theories as to whether it is a giant water-logged rodent, a cooked pig that a family couldn't fit in, a ballooned dog or some other, more sinister, being.
'We were horrified by it and we took some camera phone pictures and then finally we decided to come back with my camera and I got up the courage to climb over the fence and get closer to it,' Ms Ginley told blog Animal NY.
The New York Parks Department shrugged off the spooky find, that Ms Ginley guessed was 'maybe two feet, head to tail', insisting it was just a swine.
'It was a pig left over from a cookout,' a spokesman told Animal NY, adding that they had already chucked the creature.
But closer inspection reveals creepy, almost human-like hands and feet, which bare no resemblance to a porker's hooves.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Okay, FReepers.. WHAT IS THIS THING? It appears to have five fingers. WHAT IS IT, a raccoon?
Bloated dog
Hmmmm.. It also resembles a opossum and has similar fingers.
A picture of the carcass:
And here's me thinkin' it was Christine Quinn!
Chupacabra with a pancake on its head.
If Obama had a son...
looking at the jaw, chest, ears and tail....Pitbull??????
Conspiracy Theory W/ Jesse Ventura: Plum Island: Island of Horror
Genetic engineering?
AlGore's "ManBearPig"?
looking at the jaw, chest, ears and tail....Pitbull??????
Bingo. I'd bet $5K that is correct.
Decomp and bloat make normal things look funny and stink!
The most shocking aspect of this novel creature is the fact the eyes are on the bottom of the head, and the legs and feet are above the torso. It probably was able to walk on ceilings.
Dogs have four toes plus a 'dew claw' higher up on the foreleg. This animal has 5 toes so it's not a dog. I'm thinking now that it's a opossum.
Obviously many posters have not spent much time in the wild, nor have they encountered bloated carcasses (human or animal). The multiple pictures indicate features that negate many of the suppositions to this critters' origins.
Animals do not lose hair when submerged in water. This is not a dog, raccoon, opossum, pig, goat, large cat or fox.
Genetically modified animal? In a way looks like a giant shrew or mole (hairless?). No this is not a critter ever scientifically identified.
Looking at the teeth and the ears: Yep.
Good point. It was possibly shaved for experimentation purposes at Plum Island.

AJAC's 2016 Canadian Car of the Year Awards
Data Driven by Canadian Expertise
AJAC's 2016 Best New Technology Awards for Innovation and Safety
MONTREAL, QC, Jan. 14, 2016 /CNW/ - Two "Best New Technology" award winners were announced today by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) at the Montreal International Auto Show.
BEST NEW SAFETY TECHNOLOGY for 2016
General Motors' Rear Camera Mirror is the winner of the BEST NEW SAFETY TECHNOLOGY. "General Motors' Rear Camera Mirror, offered on the 2016 Cadillac CT6, displays an image on the interior rear view mirror that shows about four times larger image than a conventional mirror. The driver can see up to a 60 degree field of vision, reducing blind spots and enhancing the safety of all in the vehicle," said Jim Kerr, chair of the AJAC tech awards jury.
BEST NEW INNOVATION TECHNOLOGY for 2016
Toyota's Tacoma 6-cylinder Atkinson cycle 3.5L engine is the winner of the BEST NEW INNOVATION TECHNOLOGY. Jim Kerr said, "Toyota's new 3.5-litre V6 combines existing port and direct fuel injection technology with Atkinson cycle engine operation for the first time in production vehicles. This innovation provides 15% better fuel economy and 14% more power than the previous Tacoma V6 for real life consumer benefits."
The awards are judged by a panel of 11 automotive journalists who are all technology specialists. As a first step, they independently reviewed overview briefs on all the technology entries submitted by automakers.
From that initial review, by secret vote, the jurors established a shortlist of finalists. Then, in late November, they convened in Toronto for a day of presentations by manufacturers' representatives on each of their shortlisted entries and a chance to grille them with questions. The jurors then voted a second time, again by secret ballot.
As with the Canadian Car of the Year awards program, those votes were compiled by the accounting firm, KPMG and kept secret until the announcement today.
The "Best New Technology" awards are part of the association's annual Canadian Car of the Year Awards program, created in 1985 to provide consumers with sound, comparative information on vehicles that are new to the market.

Helping to grow Māori and Northland economy
Growth for the Māori economy in Northland means growth for the region, and one Māori entity having a significant economic impact is Parengarenga Incorporation – a landholding Trust based in the Far North.
Recently Northland Inc's CEO David Wilson and GM Māori Economic Development George Riley visited Parengarenga Inc and described the Trust's current holdings and strategic direction as "extremely impressive".
Parengarenga Inc currently holds 40,000 stock units on a 5,900ha sheep and beef farm and 4900 ha in forestry. They also have substantial land holdings on the beautiful Parengarenga harbour with a significant camping ground. Logs for the Asian markets and bull (grind) beef for the American hamburger market are their current contributors to Northland exports, and they have tourism, apiculture and horticulture in their sights. They have a strong focus on working with other Maori owned entities to gain economy of scale across all of their business sectors.
"This combination of new commercial thinking building on a strong asset base that truly embraces the importance of Tai Tokerau Māori epitomises Māori economic development, sustainable employment and increased prosperity," said George.
For support in the area of Maori economic development in Northland contact the Maori economic development team at Northland Inc.

Bhava (pronounced as bhāva) means internal feeling or emotion towards something. Everything starts with a Bhava. Everything we see evokes a Bhava. Bhava endeavors to contemporize traditions. Bhava is free from any externalities, it is simple and effortless. Playing with traditional craft techniques, Bhava maintains its minimalism and earthiness. The idea is to combine traditional know-how and fabrics to construct modern silhouettes.
Having done my masters in History, I would have been a teacher.
It differs for men and women. For men, since it's the wedding season and most of the men are dressed in their suits, a common mistake is they tend to use both their blazer buttons. For women, I really think one cannot step out in those Flashy tracksuits. Just doesn't make sense.
Simple. Fuss-free. Wearable.
Still need to think about this one. As for now, whoever wears Bhava is automatically a celebrity to me!
It's definitely going to be my floral print maxi that I will soon be incorporating in Bhava as well. It's super relaxed and extremely wearable.

Last Friday, I was asked to come on CNBC to discuss Google's (GOOG) most recent earnings, as well as a post I wrote for Forbes last April called: "Here's Why Google and Facebook Might Completely Disappear in the Next 5 Years."
CNBC blogged about my comments later and a copy of the interview with WSJ's Dennis Berman is here.
I made the case as best I could in the interview but I wanted to come back to reiterate some points in a post about why I think Google is in big trouble over the next five years.
Right off the bat, I want to make clear that, when I say Google will "disappear," I do not mean go bankrupt. Google has $46 billion in cash in the bank at the moment and it generates good cash. They could make a lot of mistakes in the next 5 years, but it would be pretty hard to go bankrupt.
When I say "disappear," I mean gone from the lofty perch they currently sit on. Just in the same way that Yahoo! (YHOO) used to be the dominant name in search - and almost bought Google twice -- and now they are far from that. Their stock is 90% below their all-time high of $108 back in 1999. Even though they did more in revenue than Facebook (FB) last year, most people don't think about Yahoo at all these days next to the likes of Facebook and Google. They've lost their prominence.
Remember MySpace? Would you believe they were the 47th most popular website in the US last month, according to ComScore, with 26 million unique visitors? Neither could I. Yet, most of us think of MySpace as gone or "disappeared."
I believe Google (and Facebook) are facing down a barrel of a gun with the sudden rise of mobile in the last 12 to 18 months.
And we see that already - even though it's still early days -- in Google's results:
- Cost-per-Clicks (CPCs), which are a measure of Google's profitability per search dropped 15% last quarter compared to the prior year. But this trend has been going on for the last 18 months now of continuing decline of click profitability. When asked about it on their earnings call, Google management says not to worry and that it will eventually go back up.
- Even though Google likes to point out that their "paid clicks" keep increasing - and they have - over this time period, which shows people are still using their service, the rate of that growth has been decelerating. And these mobile clicks that are "paid," are much less profitable than the old desktop "paid" clicks.
- Google's top line search revenue -- leaving out the unprofitable large chunk of revenue they got from Motorola last quarter which pushed them up to a $14 billion quarter -- is also showing next to no growth.
- A couple of weeks ago, Macquarie's Ben Schacter pointed out that - for the first time since he started measuring this in 2006 - Google's number of organic desktop search queries actually declined. We have hit "peak search" in the desktop world and "peak search" in the mobile world is probably only a couple of years away.
- Even though, Google has a lot of big and growing businesses such as YouTube which they make a lot of display ad revenue with, their core business is still search. It's also a the source of almost all the company's profits. A couple of years ago, search was estimated to account for well over 90% of the company's profits and more than 70% of its revenues.
- I would argue that search isn't the ideal to get information on the go on a mobile device. We do it because it's the best option available to us. But, if we were starting from scratch, surely we'd come up with an easier way to do information retrieval than type into a little blue box on a small screen.
- The most intuitive way to get information while on the go with a mobile device is from a service like Siri that is voice-based and uses artificial intelligence to understand our preferences, profile, and location.
If Google does hit a ceiling in search queries, its sales growth will hit a wall and its forward price/earnings multiple (now at 14x) will contract. That will mean the stock will drop - a lot.
I don't know why we think that Facebook's stock can be halved by slowing sales growth and lower profitability from the sudden shift to mobile and that Google's stock isn't equally as vulnerable.

Errors of Admission?
The murder of Jessica Faulkner was tragic -- on that all parties agree. But does it suggest colleges need to change their approach to admissions?
Faulkner was sexually assaulted and murdered in 2004 in a dormitory room at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Her attacker and fellow student -- Curtis Dixon -- killed himself while being held on charges of kidnapping, sexual assault and murder. This week Faulkner's parents sued the University of North Carolina, charging it with negligence for admitting Dixon despite a well documented history of violence against women, including incidents at other UNC campuses.
While the suit seeks damages of $500,000, the primary goal of the litigation is to force colleges to do more thorough background checks on students who apply, according to Thomas C. Goolsby, who is the lead lawyer for Faulkner's parents. "This is about student safety and who is on our university campuses," he said.
University officials and experts on admissions are nervous about the implications of the lawsuit. Some fear it could create unrealistic demands on admissions officers, who they say should not be expected to make up for shortcomings in the legal system.
Faulkner had no way of knowing there would be a potential murderer in her dormitory. Dixon ended up in her dormitory because his application left off certain details, like findings that he had stalked and threatened a woman with a knife at the North Carolina School of the Arts (part of the UNC system) or that he was cited for disorderly conduct at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte or that he was dishonorably discharged from the Navy.
And Dixon didn't even submit the application himself. His father did and his father was at the time an assistant to the chancellor at UNC Charlotte. (The father is also being sued and has already admitted to forgery in the case, but could not be reached for comment.) The father, James E. Dixon III, also called the Wilmington admissions office on his son's behalf.
To Goolsby, it all adds up to an indictment of the way colleges admit students. "The university was clearly on notice about this student," he said, but the different campuses never shared information and no background check was conducted. He said that colleges should conduct background criminal checks on applicants routinely, and also examine service discharge records for anyone who was in the military.
"There are numerous college students charged and convicted of assault and stalking and the university needs to do more than ask whether you've been convicted of anything," he said. "Criminal records are easy to get. I get them from my office every day."
Joni B. Worthington, a spokeswoman for the North Carolina system, said that admissions officers -- as is the case at most colleges -- don't do routine background checks on applicants. With more than 100,000 applications a year to the system's campuses, a criminal background check on each applicant isn't feasible, she said.
However, Worthington said that a review by the university after the Faulkner murder led to a series of reforms in which certain "red flags" on an application result in full background checks.
Not everyone, however, agrees that colleges should even go down the road of trying to figure out whether former criminals who are not violating the law belong on campus.
Barmak Nassirian, associate executive director of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, said that his organization is constantly asked by members for advice on whether to screen applicants for "prior bad acts," and the advice is usually No.
In some cases, he said it does make sense to screen. If a state licensure requirement in a field bars people with certain criminal convictions from becoming nurses or doctors, for example, it doesn't make sense to admit them to programs for such training, he said.
But beyond that, he questioned why colleges should be charged with trying to figure out which former criminals are dangerous. "If an individual is at liberty in our society, why should that individual be denied education? What makes colleges competent to make extra-judicial judgments on people?" he asked.
People like Curtis Dixon can stalk and kill people from a store or a street off-campus, he said. If people think that the Curtis Dixons of the world are too dangerous to be around other people, the necessary changes would come in sentencing and other judicial reforms, not from college admissions decisions, he said. (He did distinguish this view from college decisions once a student is on campus, when it is appropriate to punish, kick out, or report to legal authorities someone who violates college rules, especially in ways that endanger someone else.)
Nassirian also expressed concern that colleges shouldn't assume people are high risk just because they have some sort of blemish on their record. It wasn't that long ago, he said, that students might have been kicked out of Bob Jones University for interracial dating. So being kicked out of a college doesn't necessarily make one dangerous.
Even with such concerns, however, Nassirian said that there was clearly power in the Faulkner example. "Obviously, post facto, one can't help but feel horror at all the missed opportunities to connect the dots," he said. "There's no question but that when you have the tragedy before your eyes, you wish you had done more."

A Hooters in Queens, N.Y., is being sued by a Korean-American who claims he and his girlfriend were identified as "CHINX" on their receipt.
The public relations dance is in full swing by the holding company that owns that particular Hooters. Contrite-ish declarations of outrage and disgust were issued, and the waitress who wrote the slur admitted it and resigned.
Don't these servers realize that what they print on a receipt prints on the receipt? I know the joke is that people hired at Hooters aren't necessarily hired for their brains, but come on.
But the bigger question is who in the world takes his girlfriend to Hooters? Even if it was a to-go order.

The Solution: Conquer Your Fear, Control Your Future
Lucinda Bassett
New York: Sterling Publishing, 2011
Article first published as Book Review: The Solution: Conquer Your Fear, Control Your Future by Lucinda Bassett on Blogcritics.
Lucinda Bassett's The Solution is a very
important book, given our current anxiety-ridden
culture. We seem to be inundated by negativity
and fear, and there doesn't seem to be a way out.
Because of this, anxiety and depression levels
have risen to new highs over the past decade or
so. Something needs to be done and Bassett is
indeed doing just that.
The Solution shows how anxiety sufferers can
take back their power so that they can find the
confidence and strength that they need to live
fulfilling and happy lives. We have to begin with
our thoughts. If our thoughts are negative, our
lives will be negative as well. And anxiety-prone
people have many negative thoughts.
In order to reverse those anxious and negative
feelings, they have to reprogram their negative
thoughts in favour of positive ones. In her book,
Bassett outlines a 21 day plan that all readers
can participate in to take control of their
lives. Since it takes 21 days to break any bad
habit and form a new one, this book outlines a
doable guide to a complete emotional makeover
that everyone can participate in.
Bassett makes the reprogramming process easier
by including positive and empowering personal
affirmations throughout the book. These personal
affirmations may seem difficult for many anxious
readers to initially bring about. However, after
reading the book, these affirmations will make
sense. And with patience and practise, readers
can reprogram their negative thoughts in favour
of positive ones.
I would recommend the book to anyone who
suffers from anxiety or loves someone who does.
This book will change their lives for the better.
It is such a hopeful and inspiring book and,
therefore, a joy to read. So, let's all get on
the path to positive self-transformation!

MONTPELIER, Vt. – A Vermont folk artist who built a T-shirt business around the term "eat more kale" said Monday the U.S. Trademark and Patent office has given him a "preliminary no" in his legal fight to protect the term that sparked a legal battle with the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain.
But Bo Muller-Moore of Montpelier said he has six months to respond to the ruling.
Muller-Moore said he had expected to learn more Monday about his ongoing fight to trademark the phrase "eat more kale."
The fast-food giant Chick-fil-A objected to his efforts in the fall of 2011 because the company said it could be confused with their trademarked phrase "eat mor chikin."
The legal battle for the term prompted Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin to say in December 2011 the state would do all it could to help Muller-Moore in his battle with Chick-fil-A.
Muller-Moore's attorney Daniel Richardson of Montpelier said an official with the Trademark and Patent office thought the two phrases could be confused.
Chick-fil-A did not respond Monday to an emailed request for comment.

Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. has sold the Madison office campus that once housed its former animal health unit, brokers involved with the deal said Tuesday.
The 463,000-square-foot property at 5 Giralda Farms was acquired by Lincoln Equities Group and a group of private investors led by Lakestar Properties, according to brokerage firm Jones Lang LaSalle. The real estate firm, which represented Pfizer, also arranged nearly $70 million in financing for the buyers from NorthStar Realty Finance.
Exact terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Following the acquisition, Lincoln Equities tapped JLL as co-leasing agent for the property, the brokerage said in a news release. The 50-acre property has been vacant since the end of last year, but Daniel Loughlin, an international director for JLL, said the firm "developed significant user (and) tenant interest during the sale process."
Zoetis, the former Pfizer animal drug unit that spun off from the company in 2012, has since relocated to Florham Park.
The Giralda Farms building, which is located in the Route 24 Morris County submarket, was built in 1992 as the worldwide headquarters of American Home Products, the news release said.
Pfizer was represented by JLL Managing Director Joseph Garibaldi, Vice President Thomas Walsh and Loughlin, the news release said. Lincoln Equities was represented in-house by Joel Bergstein, president, and Mark Lipner, director of acquisitions.
JLL Executive Vice President Dustin Stolly and Vice President Aaron Niedermayer arranged financing for the buyer.

Say... does the Gurren Laggan example really count? i mean, sure Rossiu got annoyed by some of Kamina's Actions, but he didn't seemed like he took them to heart, and after the time skip he practially had to take care of all the population needs because ,the rest of the Dai-Gurren, while good at being Hot-blooded heroes, were bad administrators, and at any case, Rossiu, didn't arrested(and ordered the execution of) Simon because of a grudge against him or Kamina, but because he was dealing with an Angry Mob at the time and since Simmon was involved in the fight that caused the destruction that made the people go angry he ended up being a Sacrificial Scapegoat.
- also as a side note, even the Evil Chancellor part is debatable, he was doing a good job of keeping the peace and improving the people's lifes, is just that when an extraterrestial menace treateing to kill all the humans appeared he had to take harsh and unpopular desitions that he considerated necesary (and considering his origins from the Adai Village, he probably already was used to the idea of sacrificing a few for the greater good)
