 being able to access their own record online, they have power of consent over additions and updates to their healthcare record, as well as who can view the information that has been recorded. There will even be a section where they can record their own information.
The PCEHR has the following components:
Before the PCEHR can be fully implemented, a number of foundation elements must first be in place across Australia’s health system. Put simply, eHealth foundations allow a system to be developed where consumers and healthcare providers can be accurately identified, where a variety of computer systems can communicate with each other, where information is exchanged securely, and where use of standardised terms and systems allow senders and receivers to be sure they are interpreting information in the same way.
There are four eHealth foundations:
eHealth solutions are systems, processes or procedures that take advantage of eHealth foundations to produce faster, more effective results for both practitioners and consumers.
A typical solution will seek to replace manual, paper-based processes with electronic processes. Standard mail will be replaced by secure messaging, and couriers will be replaced by central online systems to deliver health information such as medical images, referrals and prescriptions.
More eHealth solutions will emerge throughout the coming years, as technology improves and foundational elements are implemented nation-wide. Most eHealth solutions are still in the conceptual phase and there will be a staged release of these capabilities after July 1 2012.
Some capabilities that are currently being developed are:’just really appreciating Geena Davis right now

Sugar cane is a tall and relatively strong class of perennial grasses that are known to have a high sugar content. Strictly speaking, there is not a single plant that is known as sugar cane. Instead, there are as many as thirty-seven different grasses that are sometimes considered to be part of this particular cane family. Many of these grasses can be crossbred, thus creating hybrids that can adapt to various types of climate conditions.
The various sugar canes are native to tropical locations around the world. Africa, South America, parts of Asia, and India are examples of some of the areas where one or more types of canes are cultivated, grown, and harvested. Just under two hundred different countries around the world are involved in the production of the canes and various cane sugar products of some type.
The varying types of sugar products made from sugar cane cover a wide range. Along with basic sugar used in different recipes, commercial enterprises can make use of the sugar to create molasses, sodas and other soft drink products, rum, and a variety of sweeteners that are used to slightly flavor frozen foods. The raw sugars can also be used in the manufacturing of hard candies and other confections that may be stored at room temperature for extended periods of time.
Sugar is not the only product of the cane that is used in the production of various products. Both the pulp and the outer portions of the stalk can be utilized in the creation of woven furniture, cardboard and other paper products, and disposable eating utensils. Sections of the cane husk can also be utilized to generate heat by burning them in furnaces. The husks can be burned alone or mixed with other substances such as coal or wood.
While preparation processes vary slightly, extraction of the sugar from sugar cane usually involves two basic steps. First, the sucrose is removed from the cellulose within the cane itself. This leaves the basic raw sugar. The second step involves running the raw sugar through a refining process, producing sugar products such as granulated or powdered sugar. At the same time, the husks can be carried away for use in the creation of other products.
While it is somewhat difficult to determine exactly when and where the first extractions of sugar from sugar cane took place, many experts believe the practice originated somewhere in modern day Asia. There appears to be evidence that processed sugar crystals can be traced as far back as five thousand years, although the use of sugar cane as both food and raw materials for other products is thought to have originated well before that time.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!I look forward to this show every year.
Every year, Thrilling Adventure Hour is one of the events I most look forward to at SF Sketchfest. While this year was no exception, I did hit a most unfortunate snag that nearly ruined the event for me: Bay Area traffic. The early performance of the show started promptly at 7:00pm Saturday night at Marines’ Memorial Theatre, and usually it runs for about ninety minutes. Sadly, while I left with plenty of time to spare, an accident on I-80 backed up traffic from Berkeley all the way across the Bay Bridge, so by the time I parked, schlepped to the theatre, got my ticket and found my seat, I was a whopping forty-five minutes late. The first note I made: “I missed half!” Even worse, I was wrong. This year, for whatever reason, the show was shorter than normal.
“Your love is so…” she trailed off.
“Sincere is the easiest thing to be under duress!” Edgar admitted.
“Love means having to say you’re sorry,” Sadie agreed. While Pearl told Edgar he didn’t have to say he was sorry, he pledged his “true and pure and lazy” love to her anyway.
“Nearly there!” Sadie encouraged.
While I hoped that somehow another segment would magically appear, instead it was only the curtain call for all the many talented funny people I’d already missed. I did notice, though, that there were far less players than I’m used to seeing, and this year, no Colin Hanks or Busy Philipps (among others). All in all, though, it was still worth getting myself to Marines’ Memorial just for the Doyles. For now, I’ll just have to settle for looking forward to the full-length show again next year.
It could be a scene from an action movie - if you ignore the tie flapping awkwardly under the seat belt.
Boris Johnson clung on to a helicopter as it flew with its doors open over Hong Kong in an unlikely recreation of the film Apocalypse Now.
The London Mayor took to the skies as he again made a pitch for a new airport in London, warning the David Cameron and George Osborne are ‘kidding themselves’ if they think Britain can compete internationally without one.
Mr Johnson called on the UK Government to follow the example of Hong Kong, overcome its doubts, and give the green light to a new airport.
The Mayor pointed to Chek Lap Kok airport, an engineering marvel built on land reclaimed from the sea - much like the Mayor's plans for a so-called ‘Boris island’ - as an example of what could be achieved with a new airport to the east of London.

Looking out over its two runways, Mr Johnson claimed the situation in Hong Kong in the early 1990s when the old urban airport had no room for expansion was similar to the one currently facing Britain with a third Heathrow runway a controversial and, he claims, unworkable option.
The Mayor warned that there was a risk of a ‘convulsive heave’ from the British Establishment that would end with the ‘catastrophic’ building of a third Heathrow runway but said Mr Osborne's attitude to big infrastructure projects like high-speed rail indicated he might be persuaded to build a new airport.
Chancellor Mr Osborne was due to land in Hong Kong shortly after Mr Johnson as the pair come to the end of their separate trade missions to China.
Looking out over the misty bay in Hong Kong, Mr Johnson told reporters: ‘I do think there is a risk that what's going to happen basically is that at the end of this year they're going to keep the Heathrow third runway option in the mix, there will then be an election and there will then be one last convulsive heave by the Treasury and by the CBI and the British Establishment generally to impose another runway on west London and that would be absolutely catastrophic.
‘People say that's the only thing we can do in the short-term, actually in reality that won't be delivered, even if you got going now on the third runway it wouldn't be until 2028 and you'd be massively compounding the economic damage in west London.
Asked if it was shared by the Chancellor, he said: ‘I don't think so. I think if you look at the Chancellor's record, his personal commitment to big infrastructure projects such as HS2, I think in principle he could well be on for it.
Mr Johnson wants a four-runway airport either built in the Thames Estuary on an island reclaimed from the sea or on the Isle of Grain in Kent's Hoo Peninsula - as outlined by architect Lord Foster. Another option would involve expanding Stansted to make it a four-runway airport.
The Mayor said a new airport would serve the country for generations to come.
He said: ‘At the moment we in London are losing business to
