Extractions: Figures show that we're buying albums in record numbers, despite the internet 'freeloaders', writes Steve Cannane. The Australian record industry has just had its best year ever. But it doesn't want you to know about it. This month ARIA announced its sales figures for last year. In its press release, it talked about Delta, it talked about falling CD singles sales, it talked about the rise in DVD sales, but at no stage did it tell us it was the industry's best year ever. Why bury the good news? Record industry types aren't usually shy about success. But this time their success is a little embarrassing. For the past few years the industry has argued that file-sharing and CD burning is having a negative impact on sales. But, unfortunately, their own sales figures don't back up their arguments. ARIA's press release was slugged with a bizarre headline: "Music DVD continues its rise whilst CD singles slide further". A mixed year, you might think. Not so. It took a canny finance reporter, SBS's Peter Martin, to decode the spin. He had access to ARIA sales figures going back to the early 1980s. He worked out what ARIA knew but decided not to share: when sales cracked 50 million albums for the year it was the first time this had happened. And combined sales of all formats for last year climbed to more than 65 million for the first time.

Landline - 2/6/2002: Benefits Of Horse Urine . Australian Broadcasting Corp June, 2002 story from the australian ABC TV program Landline on a humane, freerange method of PMU farming, in which urine is collected from pregnant mares for the production of oestrogens and related hormones for the pharmaceutical industry. http://www.abc.net.au/landline/stories/s568505.htm
Extractions: First Published: 2/6/2002 In dawn's golden light near Mount Macedon, north of Melbourne, a three month-long equine experiment is ambling to a close. This mob has thoroughbreds, warm-bloods, quarter horses, stockhorses, a part-draught. Even a trotter or two. But all have one thing in common. They're all expectant mothers, soon to bear foals and bear fruit. Pregnant mares produce one of nature's most remarkable natural pharmaceuticals and one of the world's most lucrative. It is a waste product, you've got eight to ten litres of it going on the pasture or the paddock every day otherwise and it can be utilised for a lot of things, there's a lot of hormones in horse urine, reported to be 220 or something of which 20 are characterised and about two or three we know something about, Dr John Kohnke, equine nutritionist, said Nowadays the uses are, HRT therapy for hormone replacement in women in the menopause stage which reduces the risk of hot flushes and other sort of symptoms that women have, but it also now has a lot of other uses, there's been clinical depression, oestrogen has been found to useful for certain types of clinical depression, for heart disease in both men and women, for osteoporosis in both men and women and could also be used in fertility, obviously it's used in fertility treatments as well, Dr John Kohnke said.
