Ms GILLARD (8:35 PM)
—I rise to speak on the Health Insurance Amendment (Diagnostic Imaging, Radiation Oncology and Other Measures) Bill 2002. As previous speakers have said, this bill seeks to amend the Health Insurance Act 1973 in three principal respects: firstly, to require the registration of premises that offer diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology services before Medicare benefits are payable for such services; secondly, to make changes in patient referral procedures in relation to diagnostic imaging services; and, thirdly, to allow osteopaths to refer patients for diagnostic imaging services. During my contribution, I intend to speak to the question of diagnostic imaging services—most particularly, magnetic resonance imaging services—and then to deal with the question of the spread to osteopaths of the ability to refer patients for these services.
We know that diagnostic imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging, is a growing technology in health care in Australia. That seems logical, given that it is a breakthrough technology that enables the early diagnosis of a number of diseases, most particularly cancers. Diagnostic imaging accounts for approximately 15.5 per cent of Medicare benefits paid in 2001-02. The fact that this is a growth area is further verified by the statistic that the number of health professionals entering medical imaging as an occupation rose by 27.6 per cent between 1996-97 and 2000-01. We have a breakthrough technology that can make a real difference for people by the early detection of chronic illnesses, most particularly cancers. As the take-up of the technology grows, then obviously the work force involved grows exponentially.
You would think that, with the introduction of a new technology, the government would take some steps to ensure equitable provision. Australia, as we know, is a big place. Whilst people tend to live in major cities, obviously we have substantial communities in rural and regional Australia. We also have substantial growing communities on the outer suburban fringes of our major cities, including my electorate of Lalor. Therefore, you would think that the government would take some steps to ensure that the introduction of this new technology is planned, that there is an equitable spread of services and that people, insofar as possible, are able to access services locally. You would not then get a situation where some of the more affluent suburbs end up disproportionately serviced by this new technology, whilst lower income suburbs, growth communities on the fringes of our cities and rural and regional Australia end up with not enough access to this technology.
Of course, we know from this bill that the provision of the new services has been largely unplanned. Indeed, it has been so unplanned that we need this bill to go through the parliament—and Labor do support this bill—so that we know where these services are being provided. Despite the growth in this technology, despite the fact that it is putting an increasing amount of bite on the medical budget in Australia, we do not know what is going on out there. We need something as basic as a registration system to ensure that we do know. Currently, without that data, there is no ability to examine and ensure that services are being provided equitably in a geographic distribution. There is no ability to target education and information campaigns. Obviously, the capacity to track the provision of services to deal with issues like overservicing and fraud is not sufficiently honed. This bill will create a registration system which will enable us to have that kind of basic information.
It seems odd that we should find ourselves in this position where we have new technology and its use is growing but we do not have even a registration system to tell us what is going on. If we cast our minds back, I think we can recall how we got here. We got here by a series of steps starting with the former minister for health's noted scan scam, as members of this parliament who served in the last term would remember and as many members of the Australian public would remember also. What was the scan scam? It was a system engaged in by the former minister for health, on the eve of a budget arrangement that was going to create a cut-off date for the purchase of Medicare rebateable machines capable of doing this magnetic resonance imaging work. If you purchased your machine before the cut-off date then you were right—when you put that machine into service, you would get a Medicare rebate. If you purchased the machine after the date then you were not going to necessarily qualify for a rebate. Of course, as history records, there was an enormous number of purchases in the few days before that cut-off, leading to many questions in this place, an Auditor-General's report and then a report by the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit further inquiring into the Auditor-General's report. It seems to me that, had the former minister for health not retired at the last election, we still would be hearing the words `scan scam' routinely uttered in this place.
In serving as a member of the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit in the last parliament, when we inquired into the Auditor-General's report on the scan scam, I know that one of the principal ongoing problems the scan scam left in Australian politics—apart from the fundamental probity questions going to the nature of arrangements in Australian politics, particularly the nature of trust that people can place in ministers of the Crown—was that we had who knows what kind of geographic or equitable spread of MRI technology. There was this unseemly rush to purchase machines for which practitioners were eligible for a Medicare rebate. You could pop them wherever you chose to pop them, where you could make the most money out of them; yet there was no system of planning, no system for the equitable distribution of these machines. It seems to me that the government is still playing catch-up with this bill to try and get back to where it should have been had the scan scam not happened and had it taken the necessary steps to introduce this technology in a way which would have included equitable provision across communities.
You might wonder, apart from my former service on the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit, why I am particularly interested in this matter. I am particularly interested in this matter as a local member of parliament serving in the western suburbs of Melbourne. As of tonight, it still continues to be true that the western suburbs of Melbourne do not have access to this MRI technology. It is very important breakthrough technology for dealing with the detection of cancers and other severe illnesses and we do not have that technology available locally. This is a matter that the local members in Melbourne's west have been complaining about in this place for a number of years now. We were routinely raising it in 2000, and I continue to press it now.
What does this mean? It means that people who live in my community, people who live in the middle to outer suburbs of Melbourne, cannot access one of these scans locally. It means they need to travel to town to access one of these scans. Obviously, that has an inconvenience factor about it, particularly if you do not drive. It means that there is an additional burden on the machines in town and it means long waiting lists. People can wait several weeks to get an appointment to have one of these scans done. The introduction of this technology was unplanned and the provision was unplanned. There was no equity in how this technology was originally rolled out in the Australian community and there were probity issues relating to the scan scam. Here we are, all these years later, and there is still an issue about the equitable distribution of these machines. Most particularly, there is an issue of access for the people in my community, the electorate of Lalor.
I note that the government did respond to the fact that there was no equitable provision of MRI technology across Australia, particularly as it left rural and regional areas with a problem. The government sought to rectify that in the 2002-03 budget by allocating $72.7 million to the development of new facilities—that is, new radiation oncology facilities in rural and regional areas. I think the extra provision to ensure access to new technologies in rural and regional Australia is a good thing, but as a representative of an electorate in the outer suburban areas of a major capital city—in this case Melbourne—I am concerned to see health measures targeted at rural and regional Australia when, if you actually diagnose need for access, if you do not just say, `Let's define need as rural and regional and look at that,' but look across the Australian map at areas of need, outer suburban areas frequently come up as areas of need but often do not qualify for assistance under the various programs that are targeted at rural and regional areas.
Government initiatives to deal with doctor shortages were originally targeted at rural and regional areas, notwithstanding the fact that communities like my own had doctor-patient ratios far worse than those of some rural and regional areas. The government in the last budget said they would look at areas of need and allocated $80 million to do that. That $80 million has produced, at last count, two or three doctors across Australia. It has been a failure. As recently as this weekend, we have seen a new government program with an additional $20,000 or $30,000 to help doctors to go to areas of need. I note that my community has been targeted as an area of need. Given that the grand announcement in the last budget of $80 million to get doctors to outer urban communities largely came to naught, I approach the most recently announced measure with some scepticism. I trust I will be proved wrong.
The need for doctors in my community is critical. Doctors have their patient lists closed. If you move into the community, you cannot get onto a doctor's list. Obviously, if you cannot get to the doctor, there is an access problem and, if you cannot get access to the diagnostic technologies we are talking about, that problem is compounded. We need to look at the health needs of outer urban communities like my own. One of those health needs is access to an MRI scanner in the local area. That still has not been resolved. I have no doubt that, when this registration system is in place, when the government can finally forensically tell us all where these machines are and what they are doing and when they can examine what is happening with the provision of this technology for equity, they will find that outer urban communities like my own are still doing it tough and need some additional assistance.
I move to the section of the bill that deals with osteopaths being able to refer patients for diagnostic imaging services. As I have indicated, Labor is broadly in support of this bill. This section has direct support from me. In a former life, I served as the Chairperson of the Chiropractors and Osteopaths Registration Board of Victoria. It was the professional board that registered and dealt with discipline matters for chiropractors and osteopaths. It was my obligation as the legal member of the board to chair its meetings and, most particularly, to convene its disciplinary hearings, which were obviously matters where people had complained about treatment they had received from chiropractors or osteopaths.
Within the community covered by that registration board—that is, chiropractors and osteopaths—the number of chiropractors was obviously far bigger, and there was an ongoing debate within the registration board and the various professional associations about whether or not osteopaths ought to be separately registered. I think those tensions between the professions have been replicated across Australia as that debate was pursued not just in Victoria but across Australia. The debate has been resolved in a number of states by separate registration, and the consequence of separate registration can be a need for the sort of legislative amendment we see here—to make clear that osteopaths, as opposed to chiropractors, also have the ability to refer for services. I think it is important that osteopaths, like chiropractors, have that ability and I wholeheartedly support that section of the bill, having had a great familiarity with these debates when I was serving as Chairperson of the Chiropractors and Osteopaths Registration Board. In summary, Labor do support this bill but, on behalf of my community, I take this opportunity to say that we would support it a lot more wholeheartedly if we were accessing locally some of the technology with which the bill deals.

CEIBA Research, Guyana (Image 11)
June 14, 2010
CEIBA Research, Guyana (Image 11) A female Green Honeycreeper (Chlorophanes spiza) in Guyana, South America. This small bird is in the tanager family and lives in forest canopies in tropical areas from southern Mexico south to Brazil, and on Trinidad. It is the only member of the genus Chlorophanes (Reichenbach, 1853). The female builds a small cup nest in a tree and incubates the clutch of two brown-blotched white eggs for 13 days. These birds are about 14 centimeters long and weight about 17 grams. Their call is a sharp chip sound. The male is mainly blue-tinged green with a black head and a mostly bright yellow bill. Females and immature birds are grass green in color, paler on the throat, and do not have a black head. Both sexes have a long decurved bill. This species of bird mainly eats fruit, followed by nectar and insects. This image was taken as part of research centered at CEIBA Biological Center, Inc. in Guyana, by Dr. Godfrey Bourne of the Department of Biology at the University of Missouri - St. Louis. Dr. Bourne is currently program director of the Behavioral Systems Cluster, Division of Integrative Organismal Biology at the National Science Foundation. Dr. Bourne is personally involved in administrating CEIBA Biological Center Inc., as a nonprofit research, education and conservation field station in Guyana. Research opportunities for postdoctoral associates, graduate and undergraduate students are available in Guyana on a diversity of organisms. This research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation. [One of several related images. See Next Image.] (Date of Image: 2004-2006)

The President's Challenge
Dear President's Challenge:
Of my many memories of adolescent emasculation, few have taxed my self-esteem for as long as the debacle of my seventh-grade President's Challenge pull-up test. Perhaps it was payback for dogging it in the 600-yard run or spending so many gym . . . I mean, "physical education" . . . classes manufacturing spit wads in the boys' room. With the help of a physical trainer and a cultural climate conducive to equal-opportunity narcissism, I have now developed a respectable frame. But at age 13, strength was not my strength. Even the surge of desperate adrenaline in the presence of a coed peer group could not furnish me with the necessary muscle for a pull-up. Not one!
Strangely enough, children's sports etiquette can often serve as a model for adult society. Could you imagine the Israelis and Palestinians calling a "do over"? Luckily, I'm not a disputed Holy Land, but a post-adolescent therapy patient. Upon the advice of my therapist, I have been trying to conquer outstanding traumas. In essence, healing myself through a series of "do overs." I would be forever in your debt should you grant me another pull-up test. My current workout regime features numerous pull-ups of the wide, parallel, and traditional grips, and I feel physically and psychologically ready for the challenge. My therapist stresses the need for the test to be as accurate a re-creation as possible, so I would appreciate it if you could stock the test site with roughly 60 boys and girls 12 and 13 years of age.
I realize this might be tricky to coordinate, but my schedule is flexible.
Thanks in advance,
Mr. Kenneth H. Cleaver
Dear Mr. Cleaver:
We regret to inform you that we are unable to provide you with any setup such as you have requested. We recommend that you contact a school in your area to see if one of the instructors is able to help you realize your objective. Best of luck to you in your positive endeavors!

The mission of the Center for Cancer Prevention and Control (CCPC) is to reduce the burden of cancer in Maryland by:
Prior to 1999, cancer control activities were conducted by the Division for Cancer Control. The Division for Cancer Control was expanded in 1999 to become the Center for Cancer Surveillance and Control (CCSC) in an effort to better reflect all the programs managed by the Center. In 2012, the Center took on the new name, Center for Cancer Prevention and Control (CCPC), again, in order to better reflect the work being conducted within CCPC. The CCPC is responsible for assessing cancer control in Maryland and developing cancer control priorities through collaboration with the State Council on Cancer Control and other state agencies. In addition, the CCPC plays a major role in the formation, implementation and coordination of the Cancer Prevention, Education, Screening and Treatment Program and the Statewide Academic Health Center programs funded by the Cigarette Restitution Fund Program.

Hi sorry to clutter the Forum with my threads BUT i think i have a good point here, I have been with Virgin Media for six months, i own a Quadcore Extreme pc (this is relevant to this story and how you get your broadband speeds) i have the 50MB package and the unlimited phone service basically the best package they offer, I have had some issue with their phone charges relating to my landline and the 0845 numbers but thats another story, i download around 150 gig a month watching HD films on Iplayer and so so..
Ive just had the postman give me a letter from Virgin Media titled "Detrimental use of broadband" now this basically states that if i dont slow down my usage they will cut me off???
I was on the phone with them last week due to their charges which was wrong and i asked What exactly is "Unlimited Usage" is there a "Fair usage policy" clause thrown in here?
The guy on the phone stated "NO the unlimited usage means EXACTLY what it states and that you can feel free to download as bigger files as you require"...
So WHY have i received this letter? is this False Advertising? ive also done some research online and found this thread in Virgins own Forum speaks volumes really!

Virgin clearly advised you before you signed the contract that "We sometimes moderate the speeds for the top 5% of customers who are downloading and/or uploading an unusually large amount." They also state "3.2.1. Virgin Media does not place a limit on monthly network usage. However, in isolated cases (currently less than 0.1% of customers) where excessive network usage at busy times (9am to 9pm) is having a detrimental effect on other users, we may need to take appropriate action in accordance with the terms of this AUP to notify users of the impact they are having and require them to move some of their activity into the less busy period."
If you go into battle with them, you will lose, they have the mooney to take you to court for breaking your contract if that is what you are thinking of doing and by provoking them you will probably get a red flag on your account and you will find that you are monitored even more closely. My advice would be to appease them by going along with their suggestions to change the timing of your downloads so that other users are not affected until such time that your contract with Virgin runs out. In the meantime you have time to search for another ISP with different download restrictions that may be more suited to your needs.
As for the Asda analogy, I would agree with you if there was no small print advising me of their restrictions, but sadly in Virgin's case that is not the case.

Seems quite clear and reasonable to me
"3.2.1. Virgin Media does not place a limit on monthly network usage. However, in isolated cases (currently less than 0.1% of customers) where excessive network usage at busy times (9am to 9pm) is having a detrimental effect on other users, we may need to take appropriate action in accordance with the terms of this AUP to notify users of the impact they are having and require them to move some of their activity into the less busy period. "
It's like traffic, in rush hour everyone can't drive at the full speed limit.

Autoschediastic has a valid point. The oxford dictionary defines unlimited as "not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent". If you use the word unlimited, then in my opinion it is then unreasonable to impose limitations. Especially if you use one term bold as brass in the title then contradict it in the small print. Thats just plain weasle practice.

I have the 24/7 phone deal with them and kept getting billed on top for other calls.Not a lot about £1 or just over so not a big deal.
But decided to phone them and was told it was for calls made but not connected.
never ever got to the bottom of it.
Got a Mobile sim from them last month for £5 a month and got my first full bill in for £5.10p.
Once again not a lot but if you work out that they are taking extra from all of their customers it makes you wonder how much they are making out of it.

Virgin's Traffic Management policy, viewable here, does not apply to the 50Mbps package, which means that they must be using their Acceptable Use Policy, which states:
*When is it used? We'll only use our Acceptable Use Policy in severe cases of misuse, where a customer's connection is being used for purposes that are illegal, unlawful or inconveniencing other Internet users.*
Would this have any bearing on your circumstances?
In any case, I think you will have difficulty finding a supplier that can come close to matching the speeds that you are getting and be happy to allow 150GB / month usage. I have the 20Mbps package with Virgin and to avoid being throttled by the Traffic Management I wait until late at night if I have to download large files. A little inconvenient at times but it's just one of those things that you have to accept - unfortunately the internet infrastructure isn't perfect!

D@ve hi!
YEs i do agree they are a decent company! and ive just had an email from one of the Chief Executives who assured me he will be looking into this! Having a way to sniff out people on the net i found an internal email from someone that works for VM and simply Emailed them! i was shocked at the speed in which they replied but i was well respected and they are concerned why i would get such a letter..Il let you know the outcome...
WTM cheers! someone understands me! i am not moaning about anything other then the point that they advertise the service for their 50MB package as "Unlimited" & Unlimited SHOULD mean Unlimited!! How does a company contradict itself so clearly on their website?
If as most of you would know Pizzahut advertise "All you can eat lunch buffet" but then stated when you entered the building thats on the first plate i am sure nearly everyone would complain..Its bad Business manors & As WTM stated "Thats just plain weasle practice"

That Traffic Management Policy posted by D@ve along with its associated table showing that there are no restrictions on the 50Mb cable connection was a complete eye opener for me and I withdraw all I said about you not having a leg to stand on regarding download limits. Autoschediastic you have every right to be agrieved and I wish you success in your fight with Virgin Media. My apologies, I was not looking in the right place for their download limitations.

The Advert that you picture does not say that there are No Restrictions, you have misread it.
It says "N/A" which means Information Not Available not None.

Quick Tip – Blur Links With jQuery
This quick tip covers a quick usability upgrade for links on AJAX pages. By most browser's default a dotted line stays around the link after it has been clicked. This becomes a problem with AJAX because the pages are often not reloaded.
Turning it off is simple with jQuery without any impact to the functionality. Give your links some love now and make the appearance smoother for the user later!
The Goal
We are aiming to prevent the following from happening:
The jQuery Code
With jQuery loaded in the document, add the following jQuery:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
$(document).ready(function(){ $('.blur').click(function(){ $(this).blur(); return false; }); }); |
The Explanation
This snippet of jQuery selects all anchor tags with the class "blur" and monitors for a click event. When a link is clicked the outline is removed ("blurred").
The return false is optional, it simply prevents a link from loading the target in it's href attribute. This way the link will only fire the click function. This keeps it from activating a null anchor link of "#" which can make the page jump.
See the results on the live demonstration.

A boom in student numbers has left the United Kingdom's university system creaking.
Students doubling up in bunk beds, night-time lectures and overflowing seminars are set to be a feature of the new academic term as British universities stretch themselves to the limit in preparation for the biggest ever intake of freshers this week.
The "no vacancies" signs have gone up at university halls and students are being farmed out to private apartments to ensure everyone has a bed for freshers' week. Exeter University in southwest England has had to convert single bedrooms into double accommodation. About 200 students will spend their first year sleeping in bunk beds, with rent discounted from GBP170 a week to GBP110.
Other universities have scheduled extra lectures at night and increased class sizes to accommodate the boom in numbers. The record-breaking year comes after a 10 per cent rise in applications and a decision by the government to expand the number of places by 13,000, fuelled in part by more people wanting to study in the recession.
But the lure of a degree has put unprecedented pressure on the system, with a massive backlog in student loan payments, and thousands of students will have to wait at least a month for their money after a 17 per cent rise in applications for financial support.
The extra demand for loans could also put a strain on the public purse because the proportion of freshers applying has shot up as their parents have been hit by the declining economy.
Freshers' week at most universities starts today. But at several institutions not all students have been allocated a place in halls of residence.
Wes Streeting, president of the National Union of Students, said: "There is a real pressure on accommodation, particularly on halls of residence. Where in previous years [students] have been guaranteed a place, this year they are turning to the private rented sector." The situation is particularly uncertain this year because there has also been a rise in applications from international students, prompted partly by the weak pound making it cheaper to study in the U.K. But universities are unsure how many will arrive at the beginning of term after a new visa system threatened delays.
Paul Marshall, executive director of the 1994 group, which represents 19 research-intensive institutions, said that the situation at most universities would be manageable. "Accommodation is the biggest potential for difficulty," he said. "It may be that classes end up being slightly bigger than in the past. Universities will respond flexibly."

Chiefs vs Broncos, Mizzou vs letdown, Kevin Seitzer is not Charley Lau, and the Andrew Wiggins moment you might've missed
You may or may not be into advanced metrics for the NFL, but I thought this was interesting:
Football-Referenceranks the Chiefs as the NFL's best defense, by a pretty wide margin, and the Broncos 22nd. It also ranks the Broncos as the NFL's best offense, by a pretty wide margin, and the Chiefs 22nd.
Pro Football Focusranks the Chiefs as the NFL's best defense, by a pretty wide margin, and the Broncos 16th. It ranks the Broncos as the best offense, by a pretty wide margin, and the Chiefs 24th.
Football Outsidersranks the Chiefs as the NFL's third-best defense, and the Broncos 18th. It ranks the Broncos as the best offense, and the Chiefs 16th.
Look, I think the Broncos are probably better. I would pick them on a neutral field. NFL rules are in the offense's favor. Blah-blah-blah. But it's not like there's a HUGE difference here, at least statistically.
Really interested to see what Mizzou does on Saturday
. Last weekend against South Carolina was the kind of loss that can effect teams long-term, but Gary Pinkel and his players were quick and consistent with the message that they can and will bounce back.
I wrote this off the South Carolina game
, but Mizzou still has every possibility. They still lead the SEC East, and they surely would've taken that at the beginning of the season.
Kevin Seitzer was hired as the Blue Jays hitting coach
, which means another round of local exaggeration about his impact.
And, look, I'm not saying he's a bad hitting coach. He's a bright, energetic, passionate guy. Alcides Escobar had a good year with him. Mike Moustakas hit 20 home runs with him. Alex Gordon and Jeff Francoeur consistently credited Seitzer. I wish him all the success in the world.
But I also feel like context is being lost when people talk about him like he's the Michael Jordan of hitting coaches. But he also was the hitting coach of a team that finished 12th in the American League in runs his last year. Eric Hosmer's 2012 season was bad enough to be a fireable offense for any hitting coach.
Twenty-nine teams could've hired Seitzer last offseason, and the Diamondbacks fired him before he even finished a season. When the Royals went through that incompetent May, Seitzer's public begging for the job was beneath him.
Again, I'm not saying he's a bad hitting coach. The Royals finished 11th in runs this year, so firing him certainly wasn't the answer.
But let's hold off on anointing him Charley Lau 2.0.
Went to Lawrence for the basketball game on Tuesday
, mostly out of curiosity and because The Smokeshow was out of town. It's so hard to see anything real this time of year from college basketball, but here's what stood out:
- college basketball is going to be so choppy, especially early. I actually like what they're doing with the rules. I think it'll make for a prettier game in the long run, but an uglier one in the short-term, while players and officials adjust.
the Wiggins momentpeople talked about was the ally-oop, but the more impressive moment came when he got the ball on the right wing and needed one dribble and to get into the lane, left hand above the rim, for an easy basket. The whole thing took, maybe, a second. I know it's just Pitt State, but that's the kind of move you don't see much of in college, and the kind of move that's going to make him unguardable at times.
- Joel Embiid is RAW.
You can see it in practice, too, but it seemed amplified in a "game." He's the kind of guy who might end up going pro a year too early because the NBA falls so in love with his raw talent. And he plays so hard.Join the Discussion

URTHONA Buddhist arts journal covers all aspects of contemporary and traditional arts from a Western Buddhist perspective. It is published annually in a high quality, 68 page, glossy magazine format, and is beautifully designed.
To subscribe to the current issue, or purchase back issues go to the URTHONA SHOP page above.
This site contains selected essays and material from back issues. See page listings to right.
Urthona – the landscape: Our guardian spirits are the romantic and revolutionary writers of early 19th century London – Blake, Hazlitt and Coleridge – and the Zen poets of Japan who were similarly drawn to the open, outer reaches of mind and culture. Our founding inspiration came from the Western Buddhist teacher Sangharakshita who has always seen the arts as a key means of spiritual transformation in the contemporary world. Here you will find essays on the arts as a means of rousing the imagination and communicating a sense of the sacred in ways that are relevant to the 21st century. More about our vision in ABOUT URTHONA above.
Scroll down this page for URTHONA editor's blog: in depth and insightful commentary on art, life and culture.
CURRENT ISSUE NO 31: The Art and Craft of Story Telling. Explore what this most ancient and fundamental art means to us now.
To buy your copy go to URTHONA SHOP page.
Explore some of the master narratives of European culture in fresh, insightful ways. Here you will find an interview with one of our master storytellers Kevin Crossley Holland, a piece on one of the most important stories in Western culture, the Quest for the Holy Grail, and an account of the story behind Jung's Red Book by the acclaimed writer on art, education and imagination, Peter Abbs.
But what is storytelling really? And what has it to do with the quest for an authentic spirituality in the 21st century? Many contemporary Dharma teachers talk about 'dropping the ego's stories'. But what do they really mean? Do they mean us to turn off our imagination and become like a rock or a dry planet – surely not. Philip Pullman (whose new book of versions of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm is reviewed in this issue) says: 'After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.' Stories are the primary way in which the imagination orientates the sum total of our available psychic energy towards one goal or another.
* Interview with master story teller Kevin Crossley-Holland. Kevin answers some in depth questions about the art and craft of story telling. Who better to explore this than one of our best loved story tellers? He has published many books of traditional folk tales, and is the author of the acclaimed Arthur Trilogy. He says: 'Like Icelandic Sagas, folk tales move from A to Z without digression. They deal in actions not feelings. So it follows that the proper language for retelling a tale should be simple and forthright…'
* An introduction to Jung's Red Book, the mystical source of all of his ideas. During a profound breakdown a visionary world arose before him, in which characters from the Bible, Greek Myth and the Gnostic treatises become figures of intense living power. From this arose the Red Book, a large volume that he filled with accounts of his visions. Here the noted writer on art and myth, Peter Abbs explores how this book became the source of all of Jung's later work.
* The Wonderful graphics and book illustrations of Stefanie (Ine) Grewe.
* Quest for the Holy Grail – the romance becomes a quest for vision and transformation. Ratnagarbha looks at the oldest and most psychologically acute account of the quest for the Holy Grail by Chretien De Troyes. What has this ancient story to offer us now?
*The greatest story ever told, Dharmavadana on the wonders of Homer's 'Iliad'
* Plus poetry from Mimi Khalvati and many others, news, reviews of the music of Meg Hutchinson and a new book of poems in tribute to William Stafford, the collected poems of Geoffrey Hill, a new biography of Tove Jannson and much more.

SMS spoofing
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2008) |
SMS spoofing is a relatively new technology which uses the short message service (SMS), available on most mobile phones and personal digital assistants, to set who the message appears to come from by replacing the originating mobile number (Sender ID) with alphanumeric text. Spoofing has both legitimate uses (setting the company name from which the message is being sent, setting your own mobile number, or a product name) and illegitimate uses (such as impersonating another person, company, product).
How SMS spoofing is carried out[edit]
SMS Spoofing occurs when a sender manipulates address information. Often it is done in order to impersonate a user that has roamed onto a foreign network and is submitting messages to the home network. Frequently, these messages are addressed to destinations outside the home network – with the home SMSC essentially being "hijacked" to send messages into other networks.
The impact of this activity is threefold:
- The home network can incur termination charges caused by the delivery of these messages to interconnect partners.
- These messages can be of concern to interconnect partners. Their customers may complain about being spammed, or the content of the messages may be politically sensitive. Interconnect partners may threaten to cut off the home network unless a remedy is implemented. Home subscribers will be unable to send messages into these networks.
- While fraudsters normally used spoofed-identities to send messages, there is a risk that these identities may match those of real home subscribers. The risk therefore emerges, that genuine subscribers may be billed for roaming messages they did not send. If this situation occurs, the integrity of the home operator's billing process may be compromised, with potentially huge impact on the brand.
The legitimate use cases for SMS spoofing include:
- A sender transmits an SMS message from an online computer network for lower more competitive pricing, and for the ease of data entry from a full size console. They must spoof their own number in order to properly identify themselves.
- A sender does not have a mobile phone, and they need to send an SMS from a number that they have provided the receiver in advance as a means to activate an account.
- A sender adopts the default network gateway identifier provided by an online service, in order to send an anonymous sms, rather than specifying a number of their own choosing.
- A third party sends a message to a virtual number, which then forwards (resends) the message to one or more recipients in such a way that the true originator address (rather than the virtual number) appears as the sender ID and the recipient(s) can reply, call, sort, save, or otherwise process the message in the expected way.
An SMS Spoofing attack is often first detected by an increase in the number of SMS errors encountered during a bill-run. These errors are caused by the spoofed subscriber identities. Operators can respond by blocking different source addresses in their Gateway-MSCs, but fraudsters can change addresses easily to by-pass these measures. If fraudsters move to using source addresses at a major interconnect partner, it may become unfeasible to block these addresses, due to the potential impact on normal interconnect services.
In 2007, The UK premium rate regulator, PhonepayPlus (formerly ICSTIS) concluded a public consultation on anonymous SMS, in which they stated they were not averse to the operation of such services. However, in 2008 PhonePayPlus introduced new regulation covering anonymous SMS, requiring anonymous SMS service providers to send a follow-up message to the recipient stating that a spoofed SMS has been sent to them, and operate a complaints helpline.
It is illegal to send anonymous SMS messages in Australia.[citation needed]
Protecting users from SMS spoofing[edit]
If a user can prove that their SMS sessions have been spoofed, they should contact both law enforcement and their cellular provider, who should be able to track where the SMS messages were actually sent from. A user may also modify the phone's settings so that only messages from authorized numbers are allowed. This is not always effective since hackers could be impersonating the user's friends as well.
Examples of SMS spoofing[edit]
- Messages sent from Google are sent with the Sender ID "Google".[citation needed]
- Messages sent from Facebook are sent with the Sender ID "FACEBOOK".
- Skype sends messages from its users with the mobile number they registered with. Note that when a user attempts to "reply" to the SMS, the local system may or may not allow the replying message to be sent through to the spoofed "origin."[citation needed]
- A user who does not have a mobile phone attempts to sign up for a Foxytag account, which requires an SMS from a phone number that the user registers with. A dynamically assigned number from an anonymous SMS service will not work because the user is not given the dynamic number in advance to register with.
The Asian School of Cyber Laws (Pune) recently conducted experiments in SMS spoofing at the national and international level. They were able to successfully spoof SMS messages and make them appear to come from other people's cellular phones. These people were using GSM based cellular phone services in various parts of India and other Asian as well as African countries.[citation needed]

Shouts to Necole Bitchie for posting this 16-second clip from Jay Z's show in Charlotte from Saturday night (January 4). During Jay's performance he brought a young man on stage to drop a couple of bars. In the short clip, we see this little guy, draped in Jay Z-inspired fabrics (i.e. a cocked fitted and tee), as he triumphantly chanted "This is the dream team! This the supreme team!" His face on the wide screen, the attention of the entire venue. Now there's a moment that kid will remember for life. At the close of his short performance, he and Jay Z embraced. So will Roc Nation be signing some much younger talent, or Is it safe to say that Mr. Carter may want a son next? Your move, Beyoncé. - Kathy Iandoli

Horn & Hardart
Horn & Hardart was a food services company in the United States noted for operating the first food service automats in Philadelphia and New York City.
Philadelphia's Joseph Horn (1861–1941) and German-born, New Orleans-raised Frank Hardart (1850–1918)[1] opened their first restaurant together in Philadelphia on December 22, 1888. The small (11 x 17 foot) lunchroom at 39 South Thirteenth Street had no tables, only a counter with 15 stools. Formerly, the location had housed the print shop of Dunlap & Claypoole, printers to the American Congress and George Washington.
By introducing Philadelphia to New Orleans-style coffee (blended with chicory), which Hardart promoted as their "gilt-edge" brew, they made their tiny luncheonette a local attraction. News of the coffee spread, and the business flourished. They incorporated as the Horn & Hardart Baking Company in 1898.[2]
Automated food[edit]
Inspired by Max Sielaff's AUTOMAT Restaurants in Berlin, they became among the first 47 restaurants, and the first non-Europeans to receive patented vending machines from Max Sielaff's AUTOMAT GmbH Berlin factory, creators of the first chocolate bar vending machine.[3] The first automat in the U.S. was opened June 12, 1902, at 818 Chestnut St.[3] in Philadelphia by Horn & Hardart.[4] The first New York Automat opened in Times Square July 2, 1912. Later that week, another opened at Broadway and East 14th Street, near Union Square.
In 1924, Horn & Hardart opened retail stores to sell prepackaged automat favorites. Using the advertising slogan "Less Work for Mother," the company popularized the notion of easily served "take-out" food as an equivalent to "home-cooked" meals.[5][6]
The Horn & Hardart Automats were particularly popular during the Depression era when their macaroni and cheese, baked beans and creamed spinach were staple offerings. In the 1930s, union conflicts resulted in vandalism, as noted by Christopher Gray in The New York Times:
- In 1932 the police blamed members of the glaziers union for vandalism against 24 Horn & Hardart and Bickford's restaurants in Manhattan, including the one at 488 Eighth Avenue. Witnesses said that a passenger in a car driving by used a slingshot to damage and even break the plate glass show windows. Glaziers union representatives had complained about nonunion employees installing glass at the restaurants.[7]
By the time of Horn's death in 1941, the business had 157 retail shops and restaurants in the Philadelphia and New York areas and served 500,000 patrons a day.[8] During the 1940s and the 1950s, more than 50 New York Horn & Hardart restaurants served 350,000 customers a day.
In 1953, the company split into two independent corporations. The New York company was named the Horn & Hardart Company, while the Philadelphia company was named the Horn & Hardart Baking Company. New York was traded on the American Stock Exchange and Philadelphia was traded on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange.
Coins and chrome[edit]
These cafeterias featured prepared foods behind small glass windows and coin-operated slots, beginning with buns, beans, fish cakes and coffee. These were popular, busy restaurants, where in the late 1950s, for under $1.00, one could enjoy a large, if somewhat plain meal, purchased with nickels usually obtained from the cashier. Each stack of glass-doored dispensers had a metal cylinder that could be rotated by the staff on the other side of the vending wall, hiding the contents while they refilled each dispenser in the stack with a plate of salad, pudding, meat or vegetables. Each dispenser had a slot for one or more nickels, and a knob to rotate the nickels out of view into the internal cash box and to allow the glass door to be raised up and locked in a horizontal position for easy removal of the plate or bowl of food. More expensive items required tokens valued up to 75¢ which were available from the cashier. Some of the rectangular dispensers were heated, some cooled. Eventually, they served lunch and dinner entrees, such as beef stew and Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes. The self-service restaurants operated in the city for nearly a century.[2]
Carolyn Hughes Crowley described the appeal of the Automats:
- In huge rectangular halls filled with shiny, lacquered tables, women with rubber tips on their fingers— "nickel throwers," as they became known—in glass booths gave customers the five-cent pieces required to operate the food machines in exchange for larger coins and paper money. Customers scooped up their nickels, then slipped them into slots in the Automats and turned the chrome-plated knobs with their porcelain centers. In a few seconds the compartment next to the slot revolved into place to present the desired cold food to the customer through a small glass door that opened and closed. Diners picked up hot foods at buffet-style steam tables. The word "automat" comes from the Greek automatos, meaning "self-acting." But Automats weren't truly automatic. They were heavily staffed. As a customer removed a compartment's contents, a behind-the-machine human quickly slipped another sandwich, salad, piece of pie or coffee cake into the vacated chamber.[9]
The restaurants remained popular into the 1960s with automats, sit-down waitress service restaurants, cafeterias, and bakery shops. In the late 1960s, consultants attempted to develop automats with interior decoration relevant to surrounding neighborhoods; thus, the Automat on 14th Street was decorated with psychedelic posters. The eateries began to close with the rise of fast-food restaurants. By the mid-1970s, at some locations, Burger King franchises replaced the automats.[10] Horn & Hardart further expanded its fast food operations in 1981, with its acquisition of the Bojangles' Famous Chicken n' Biscuits restaurants, which it sold to a California investment company in 1990 for $20 million.[11]
In 1979, Horn & Hardart agreed to buy the Royal Inn in Las Vegas for $7.4 million.[12] By late 1980, the sale had been completed, and the property was rebranded as the Royal Americana Hotel, with a New York theme.[13] A $3.5 million renovation[14] increased the room count to 300.[15] By 1982 though, the hotel was experiencing substantial losses, and Horn & Hardart decided it to close it.[14] They reportedly agreed that December to sell the property to an investment group for $15.4 million.[16]
The last New York Horn & Hardart Automat (on the southeast corner of 42nd Street and Third Avenue) closed in April 1991.[17] Horn & Hardart continued to own a catalog division; it renamed itself Hanover Direct in 1993. Hanover Direct bought Gump's in 1993 and sold it to an investment group in 2005. Hanover Direct, purchased International Male in 1987 when founder Gene Burkard retired.
Horn & Hardart opened two 1950s themed Dine-O-Mat restaurants in New York. They closed in 1989 after less than two years in operation. More recently, the Horn & Hardart name was used for a now-defunct chain of coffee shops in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Horn & Hardart Coffee Co. closed its last coffee shop in 2005. A company called Horn & Hardart Brands has a website, with a 2014 copyright, offering coffee and cheese spreads at Philadelphia area food stores.[18]
A version of the current automats used in the Netherlands, was located in New York's East Village at 37 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue, but has since closed.
In the early 1990s two entrepreneurs bought the Philadelphia company (Horn & Hardart Baking Co.) out of bankruptcy. While they did not open any restaurants, they did reproduce a dozen of the most famous food items, including macaroni and cheese, Harvard beets, tapioca pudding and cucumber salad.[19] The food was packaged fresh, refrigerated, and sold in supermarkets throughout Philadelphia and New Jersey. The food was still available up until 2002, then disappeared from the stores.
Radio and television[edit]
Beginning in 1927, Horn & Hardart sponsored a radio program, The Horn and Hardart Children's Hour, a variety show with a cast of children (including some who later as adults became well-known performers). The program was broadcast first on WCAU Radio in Philadelphia, hosted by Stan Lee Broza. It was broadcast on NBC Radio in New York during the 1940s and 1950s. The original New York host was Paul Douglas, succeeded by Ralph Edwards and finally Ed Herlihy.
The television premiere of The Horn & Hardart Children's Hour appeared on WCAU TV in Philadelphia in 1948, succeeded by WNBT(TV) in New York in 1949, telecast on Sunday mornings. Stan Lee Broza hosted in Philadelphia and Ed Herlihy in New York. Frankie Avalon was a frequent performer of the Children's Hour as a child prodigy trumpet player.
The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has displayed in its cafe an ornate 35-foot Automat section, complete with mirrors, marble and marquetry, from Philadelphia's 1902 Horn & Hardart. In November 2002, the Museum of the City of New York had a special Automat centennial exhibition featuring photographs, artifacts, original furniture, china and vending machine panels.
The New York Public Library opened an exhibition on June 22, 2012, titled "Lunch Hour NYC".[20] The exhibition "looks back at more than a century of New York lunches, when the city's early power brokers invented the 'power lunch'...... and visitors with guidebooks thronged Times Square to eat lunch at the Automat." Among many educational and entertaining items is a fully restored wall of Automat windows. The exhibit was scheduled to run until February 17, 2013.
In popular culture[edit]
- Concerto for Horn and Hardart is a classical music parody written by Peter Schickele, one of many which he attributes to the fictional composer P.D.Q. Bach.[21] The hardart in this composition is a musical instrument which is played by dropping coins into it to retrieve the implements used to actually play the notes. The hardart is inscribed Minor Labor Matris, Latin for the real Horn & Hardart slogan "Less Work for Mother."

Made this for the first time and thought it was awesome. Cant believe it has gotten such bad ratings. Better than any I've had at a Mexican place.
i did this a bit different and a bit more healthy! i added some fresh kale and garlic in with my onions. and instead of using sour cream i used nonfat plain yogurt. i also use mozzarella cheese. (it was what i had, and a little healthier) very tasty!
My kids call these 'Gringo Enchiladas'. They say that these are definitely not the kind their friend's mother's make. But for something different and for a sauce out of a can, they work in a pinch. They are a whole lot easier to make than the traditional enchiladas......

Madame Bovary
Analysis: Writing Style
Alternately Ironic and Descriptive
Flaubert's style in this book is an interesting mish-mash of different elements. He's somehow able to combine straightforward, un-decorative irony with gorgeous, evocative description, and emerge with a text that's cohesive and totally unique – mad props to him.
We see killer one-liners that are devastating in their simplicity, in which the true ridiculousness of humanity is made glaringly obvious. (The most notable example is the last line: "He has just been awarded the Cross of the Legion of Honor.")
On the other hand, we also indulge in evocative moments of intimate detail, particularly relating to Emma's various states of being. For example, after her first physical experience with Rodolphe, we can almost feel "her heart beating again, and the blood flowing through her flesh like a river of milk" (II.9.49). Taken all together, the style of this book is both a reminder that we're human, and that, as humans, we're incredibly flawed.

Oprah 'disappointed' in inappropriate behavior at school
Oprah Winfrey released a statement through her reps today expressing her disappointment in the allegations of inappropriate behavior between students at a girls school she built in South Africa.
From OK! magazine:
After reports indicated that several students were expelled from Oprah Winfrey's school in South Africa, The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy, for inappropriate behavior, the daytime diva is speaking out in a statement obtained by Entertainment Tonight.
In a statement, Oprah expresses her regret that as many as seven girls allegedly sexually harassed other students. A spokesperson for the school says students were told to leave for violating the code of conduct, but said it was "a confidential school matter."
"I'm disappointed that several of our students chose to disregard the school's rules. It's disheartening when any student has to be suspended or expelled and it's a process that involves serious review and consideration," Oprah says in the statement. "We insist on maintaining a campus environment that commands mutual respect, fosters academic excellence and encourages learners to fulfill their best potential."
She continues, "Indiscretions resulting in disciplinary action are common in schools all over the world. Unfortunately, because of my name these common infractions place the Academy in the media spotlight."

Man, the girls were involved in teenange sexual experimentation. Lesbianism if you will. No harm, no foul.

Nearly 30 years on from the first description of AIDS, there are now over 33 million people estimated to be infected with HIV worldwide. Thanks to new drugs, people with HIV are now living longer and healthier lives. However, less than a third of people who could benefit currently get treatment, and for every 2 people put on treatment, 5 more are becoming infected. This lecture looks at the successes and failures of HIV prevention and explore the social, economic and technical challenges involved in slowing its future spread.
