Functional Plant Biology 34: 571-580. Interpretive Summary: The genus Eleocharis contains some species of plants that can change their photosynthetic method depending on whether they are grown submerged in water or not submerged in water (terrestrially). Photosynthetic methods can be defined as C3, which is traditional photosynthesis; C4, which incorporates an appendage cycle that increases efficiency; or C3-C4 intermediate. This study looked at 3 species of Eleocharis; E. erythropoda Steudel, E. baldwinii (Torrey) Chapman, and E. vivipara Link. Additionally, there were two different populations of E. vivipara. The plants were grown in a greenhouse, both submerged and terrestrially and then studied to determine their photosynthetic method. It was found that E. erythropoda uses C3 photosynthesis regardless of growth condition. E. baldwinii switches from C4-like in terrestrial habitat to C3-C4 intermediacy when submerged. The two E. vivipara populations were different from each other and were different from previously reported E. vivipara, so were called type 2 and type 3. E. vivipara type 2 is a typical C4 plant in the terrestrial habitat, but becomes a C3-C4 intermediate under submerged conditions. E. vivipara type 3 is a C3-C4 intermediate terrestrially, but when submerged appears to use bicarbonate as its carbon source. Understanding the mechanisms that allow these plants to change their photosynthetic method may help further our understanding of the genetics of C4 photosynthesis.
Technical Abstract: Eleocharis contains many amphibious species, and displays diversity of photosynthetic mechanism (C3, C4 or C3-C4 intermediates). A unique feature of Eleocharis is the plasticity in the photosynthetic mechanism of some species in response to the environment. In this study, we have examined the culm anatomy and photosynthetic property of several Eleocharis species grown terrestrially and the changes in the newly produced culms over a short period time frame after switching from terrestrial to submerged condition. Eleocharis baldwinii (Torrey) Chapman is C4-like in terrestrial habitat, exhibiting O2 inhibition of photosynthesis with Rubisco expressed in both mesophyll and bundle sheath cells and PEPC strictly in the mesophyll cells, but switches to C3-C4 intermediacy when submerged. In addition to Eleocharis vivipara Link type 1 (which switches from C4-like to C3), two other photosynthetic types examined in this study were shown to have different responses to growth in either terrestrial or submerged conditions. E. vivipara type 2 is a typical C4 plant in the terrestrial habitat, but becomes a C3-C4 intermediate under submerged conditions. Further, terrestrially, E. vivipara type3 is a C3-C4 intermediate, but when submerged the d13C value increases to -6.7‰, indicating its use of bicarbonate as a major carbon source. The submerged form of this plant exhibited about three times higher photosynthetic O2 evolution rate, compared to the C3 species Eleocharis erythropoda Steudel. These Eleocharis species possess different molecular switches for regulating C4 gene expression in response to environmental stimuli both between different species, and in E. vivipara among different populations. The apparent expression of a bicarbonate transport system by E. vivipara type 3 while submerged represents a unique adaptation to low CO2 availability.

Topic: Cousin(s) (05/22/08)
TITLE: Friendless Family Thornbush
By Josiah Kane
It took half an hour for the 47 relations to arrive and check through the door. The farthest relation was a third step cousin twice removed, the son of an absent military officer. About two-thirds of the visiting mothers trailed off toward the kitchen, where a din and an argument soon ensued. The adult males diffused through the room, and then beer, sociability and sheer boredom banded them into tiny pockets around the various sofas and tables.
Had they been blessed with a similar helping of common sense, the youngsters should have done the same. But the officer's son wanted a great band of joyous children playing with the efficiency of a boot camp. What was more, he was very happy to be the boot. After ten minutes of rigorous drilling, Jack's younger brother drew his own little cluster. Jack had to admire Dave's irresistible magnetism. He was convinced that if the friendly, adventurous boy ever crashed on Mars, Dave would tame the green-faced paraworlders with a joke, a smile and a football, long before he featured on their "Specials" menu.
With the under-tens drawn into football, the only remaining uneasy silence was found among the teens. Any honest attempt to start something was met with embarrassed looks from the relative-strangers. At this stage Jack would normally lose himself in cyberspace, a book, his homework, or spying on everyone else. But such ignoring was against the rules. He trotted inconspicuously over to his father, and hissed "Is this what you call family?"
His father stuck his hand into a pocket, and yanked out an entry stolen from Jack's diary that bemoaned his lack of companionship: "How would you know?"
Jack wandered back, just as disconsolately, to a band unchanged from when he left it. He rejoined the general occupation of "wait for conversation." The trooper's son was far too infatuated with Bess (together with the other two) to try bossing people around. An instant later the girl cracked. "Pull it together people" she shouted. "I don't know what you lot like to do, but I'd bet my house it isn't nothing. Why don't we join in with the football or something?"
Finally the last remnant of disunity broke down, and they moved off to the younger kids with bowed heads. The game had shifted to a water fight and the newcomers were all for massacring the youngsters with super loaded pulses. Then Dave, in his craze for total bedlam, broke it into four bands and a happy constant splashing ensued. It actually remained happy, except for one incident when a mum slipped on slick tile and dropped a plate of spinach. At last the family disunion began, and people were actually asking to get together again some time. "Yep" thought Dave in a slightly warmer, less disinterested manner than usual. "You call this family."

Big news from Barnes and Noble today as they announced a new Wi-Fi only nook, a price change for the current 3G + Wi-Fi nook, and an upgrade to the nook's software. The nook Wi-Fi will cost $149, while the price of the nook 3G + Wi-Fi drops from $259 to $199. Both models have the same eReader capabilities, the difference is that the lower cost model will only work on Wi-Fi networks while the higher cost model works on both Wi-Fi and AT&T's 3G network.
Both models will have free access to AT&T's Wi-Fi hotspots, which is a feature that is included in the nook software upgrade. Two other subtle differences is that the Wi-Fi only model has a white back, to make it easier to distinguish from the 3G+Wi-Fi model that has a gray back, and the Wi-Fi only model is a lighter at 11.6 oz compared to 12.1 oz of the 3G+Wi-FI model. While the weight difference is slight between the two models, 11.6 oz is significantly lighter than the Apple iPad, which weighs 24 oz.
The nook software upgrade adds support to access AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots, insuring that current nook owners have the same capabilities as those who buy the new nooks. Also welcome additions is a Go-To page feature that allows users to go to specific pages, and a new extra, extra, large font size. Switching to the new font reduces a page to ten lines, but makes it even easier for those with vision problems to read books.
The Go-To page feature presents a horizontal slider to move back and forward in the book that I find imprecise. In my opinion it would have been much better if a numeric keypad displayed to allow users to directly enter the page number they want to go to. I recommend that before using the Go-To page feature that you create a bookmark to make it easier to return to the current page. If you use Go-To page to move forward in a book, the page you land on becomes the furthest read page, so using Go-To Furthest Read Point will not return you to the page where you started.
I cannot end this post without writing a few words to compliment Barnes and Noble on their upgrade process. I chose the nook because I believed that because it used Android, Barnes and Noble could provide frequent updates and improve the functionality of the device, and they have not disappointed. I believe this is the forth update to the nook since it became available in November, 2009. Better yet is how Barnes and Noble has been distributing the upgrades. If you want, you can wait for the upgrade to come over the air via a Wi-Fi connection, but users comfortable in doing so can manually upgrade the nook by simply downloading a file, attaching the nook to a PC, copying the file, and disconnecting the nook. Immediately after you disconnect the nook the upgrade begins to take place with no manual intervention. In my opinion the combination of a straight forward manual upgrade process with over-the-air upgrades is how all smartphones and devices should be upgraded, rather than relying on only one official upgrade method.

This one looks fine and plays decently, but I do not really care for the pictures that represent those playing.
There are also far better chess games in Linux. For an some reason though, I cannot get Dreamchess to load on the system I am currently using. Maybe it is because I am using the ATI Rage 128 Pro and the fact that this card has no driver in Linux. I should still be able to play a game of chess though.
A moderately strong chess engine is included: Dreamer, However, should this engine be too weak for you, then you can use any other XBoard-compatible chess engine, including the popular Crafty and GNU Chess.
Other features include music, sound effects, on-screen move lists using SAN notation, undo functionality, and savegames in PGN format.
The DreamChess team currently consists of only a handful of people. We could use help in many areas, such as programming, graphics, sound and testing. If you're interested in helping out, please send an email to feedback at dreamchess.org.

Quiksilver, Inc. is a sportswear apparel company that designs, produces and distributes clothing, surf, skate and snow equipment for young-minded people. Started by Alan Green and John Law in 1970, Quiksilver quickly became a phenomenon and is now sold all over the world. Currently employing approximately 3,500 people, the business continues to be run on its original principals of word-of-mouth, quality and unbelievable service.
Todd Dickson, Quiksilver's director of building security, came to IDville in search of an up-to-date photo ID system that was "user-friendly and that did not break down every other day!!" (We could guarantee that!) He needed a photo ID system that would allow him to create different types of badges on one system.
Create your own employee photo ID cards.
With thousands of employees at different levels within the company, I knew Dickson needed an affordable way to create unique IDs. He was going to be printing a lot of photo ID cards with Quiksilver being such a large company.
When Dickson contacted IDville he had some questions regarding the photo ID system choices. "The IDville representatives were very well-versed with the product which showed me a lot. Although cost was a big factor in our decision, as the prices are very reasonable, the professionalism was leaps and bounds ahead of the other companies we'd contacted."
I ultimately helped Dickson decide on the Single-Sided ID Maker Advantage because he was planning to print a large number of cards, on one side only and security-enhancing overlays were not important. Dickson purchased two of these photo ID systems to be used at two different locations.
Quiksilver's photo ID badges are tamper-resistant. Their card design includes the employee photo along with the company logo; for added security a watermark of the employee's photo is also in the corner. "IDville continues to meet and exceed my expectations! It has become a great resource for my photo ID badging process."

ID Card Printers
The Case for Upgrading Your ID Cards
So you're ready to invest in a photo ID card system. You've got plenty of choices when it comes to print capabilities, quantities and security features. But have you thought about the actual ID card?
Paper ID cards have their advantages, especially in cost, but did you know that using a plastic ID card saves time AND money in the long run?Choose an ID Maker System for Professional and Secure ID Cards
Let's take a look at the plastic card printing process versus printing and laminating ID badges.First, take the picture with the web camera. Second, use the software to design your card and import the image. Third - print the card in less than 30 seconds!Finish with a slot-punch to make your IDs wearable in minutes using a lanyard, retractable badge reel or strap clip, or slip it in a badge holder. If you decide you need dual-sided ID card printing down the road, no need to buy a new system. Simply use the one-time printer ribbon upgrade and you'll be printing dual-sided ID cards in no time!Choose an ID Card Laminate System for Affordability Using an ID Maker Laminate System is more cost-effective up front, but think about the paper laminate ID card making process.First, take the picture with the web camera. Then use the ID Maker Express software to design the ID and send it to your printer. Print the ID badge using the paper stock, then feed it through the laminator using the laminating pouches, making sure to line them up properly for a wrinkle-free finished product. Sound easy enough?Think about that process for over 1,000 IDs as a gymnasium full of children waits. Not so simple. And loud.Not only that, using your existing printer to produce ID cards requires color ink - a cost factor not included in the laminating system.For a side-by-side comparison of Paper and PVC ID cards, read the rest of this article in the IDville Knowledge Center.

EXCLUSIVE: NBC has given Whitney a pickup for 3 additional episodes, bringing its second-season order to 16 episodes. In May, the multi-camera comedy received a 13-episode second-season. It was originally scheduled to air in the Friday 8 PM slot but in October it was upgraded to the higher-profile Wednesday 8 PM berth, which it previously occupied. Then early last month, before Whitney's second season had premiered, the show was given an order for five more scripts. Now that order has been converted into 3 episodes. The back order comes as Whitney's fifth episode of the season last night drew a 1.4/4 in 18-49, matching its season high and up 8% versus last week while most other shows were down. It was the series' second consecutive week-to-week gain. Whitney joins its time slot mate, fellow multi-camera comedy Guys With Kids, which also received a partial back order, 4 episodes, though the freshman debuted two months before Whitney.
NBC Orders 3 More Episodes Of 'Whitney'
55 Comments
Yes! give this comedy a chance, NBC. It's so real that I feel like they're writing about my relationship!
You're not serious, right? Right?
OMG i know!
On purpose??? Have they watched it??? Maybe they can change the format like "up all night" and replace Whitney with an actress.
Good news for 'Whitney.' Bad news for humankind, America, and television in general.
This isn't exactly a ringing endorsement, these little mini renewals.
It's more like NBC needs to break up with its boyfriend/girlfriend, but is just staying together out of laziness until they find someone better.
I don't know one person that actually watches this show. How is it still on the air?
i'm not mentally impaired. i'm really not. but this has to be one of the worst shows i've ever seen. how is it on the air? btw, has anyone watched TWO BROKE GIRLS by the same supposed creator. HORRIBLE
YYYYYYYYYYesssssssss! i am so glad they are giving this show a chance. There is a lot of talent there.
Epitome of troll commenting. This show is egregiously awful.
If he is choking her to death in that photo, consider me a fan.
Omg Whitney is awful! And her sitcom is even worse. She is so annoying and so NOT funny!! I don't get it. Can someone explain it to me?! Please!
somebody loves her, or is currently "loving" her, who is in a position of power.
In 10,000 years, after mankind is gone, an alien species will come to earth and dig up a copy of this show, and in an instant, they will know why we perished
The scary thing is, that joke managed to eclipse the sum total of humor on every episode of this show combined.
So we will never see Next Caller, but we get this? Uh… this sucks.
And "Bent" died so this could live. *eyeroll*
I'll second that. I really liked Bent. NBC seems to really hate Jeffrey Tambor.
Oh my God! Why would they do that?! Jesus! What is wrong with these people!? This has gotta be some kind of sick joke! I know Nbc is desperate,but,why would they order MORE??? episodes of such a godawful program?!? I think I may have just answered my own question. Maybe it's because Nbc IS desperate. How else can you possibly explain ordering more episodes of this piece of garbage!?Perhaps in the photo above he's asking her-"How could you do this to the American public?" What is wrong with you?"
The headline and article are totally misleading. Read it through — they ordered 5 scripts a while back and from those 5, they're only making 3 episodes. This is a diss, not an endorsement.
Still LOL.
Chris D'elia. He is the only reason people should be watching this. It's the only reason I have this show a chance when it first came out.
The Whitney haters are out in usual in full-force but there aren't that many of them left.
Smart decision by NBC as Whitney will be an even bigger show than it is now down the line.
awww marvin, how cute. you are either related to her or somehow involved in the show. otherwise, why would you be sticking up for such talentless scheeching? the worst is how hard it tries… oh it tries so hard.
Seriously Marvin? You sound like the equivalent of a deluded William Hung type contestant on American Idol that believes he is the best most talented singer no matter what they say. You must be related to Whitney.
Remember that feeling you had that time you got hit by a bus? And then dragged behind it… and as the skin on your knees and elbows slowly wore away as your near lifeless body began to give up their organs one at a time – first the spleen, then the liver, followed by the lungs — and they dotted the road in your wake? Remember how painful, crushing and awful that felt? Watching "Whitney" is a jillion times worse. And that's a fact. I looked it up on Wikipedia.
"Jessica" likes it.
Come on, guys. It's actually not that bad. They're doing a "Mad About You" thing this year and it's definitely getting better. How many episodes have you commenters actually watched?
Not to just pile on, but I watched a handful of episodes last season and the show was terrible. I watched a new one a week ago, hoping for some kind of improvement. It was still terrible. I'm a sitcom fan. I root for the multi-cam. This show, the cast, the characters, it's just no good.
Hating on this show is so last year.
I didn't even know the show made it to a second season. Haven't seen any promos for Whitney since they first aired.
God, what kind of goods does she have on Greenblatt?
Watching that show is a painful experience.
Really haters? If you dislike a show that much then simply do not watch it you don't have to diss a show that is actually funny to some people. There are those of us who actually like it! Apparently the amount of people who like this show and watch it is pretty close to that of those who watch the internet darling Community so eff off!
No One WITH a brain did, is, nor will watch it.
They have nothing better to put there.
You know how the viewers just instantly warmed to Mary Tyler Moore when she first appeared (on the Dick Van Dyke Show)? Whitney is the anti-MTM. She radiates an off-putting combination of neurotic neediness combined with unearned smugness.

What the heck happened...depending on the agenda media touting different reasons, Dems crossing over? Anti immigrant sentiment ? Anti corporate money corrupted politicians? Even- voters dislike of Jews, and rumors of homosexuality and a few "wanting to cut SS and medicare." Was it a little of all the above? How could someone spend so much and get beaten so badly?
#11 Jun 16, 2014
The Tea Party "stunned" Cantor AND the media because in "PROfessional" politician world they cannot accept the idea of a third party period. "Professional" politicians do not want a third or fourth party. They do not want actual competition. The mainstream media and talking heads do not want additional parties partly because their "PROfessional" politician insiders propagate the idea that a third party is no good.
This goes back decades. Ralph Nader, Lyndon Larouche, and Ross Perot all took flack from the political establishment by saying their running takes away votes from their preferred RepubliCANT or DemocRAT. Who the frack is anyone to say that a DemocRAT or RepubliCANT are the only legitimate parties.
#12 Jun 16, 2014
To show you the kind of despicable person Eric Cantor has always been and the sore loser he still is, upon losing he did not congratulate the winner as it is in politics and just plain common good sense manners that children are even taught. Nor did he offer the help of his staff to do what they can to support Bratt.
Cantor has always been a very childish acting person and that smurfy smile of his is as phony as he is. Lets hope that Bratt is more of a man and for the people than Cantor will ever be. Cantor is all for power and greed for himself. Republicans you have finally woke up. NOW LETS MAKE AMERICA AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT USED TO BE WITH NO MORE POLITICAL CORRUPTION! LETS GET RID OF ALL THE POLITICAL GREED AND MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN!
#14 Jun 16, 2014
so you think the reason was more "the political greed of career politicians" than the other reasons given by the media....especially "anti-immigrant sentiment" which has been cited as the major issue? Do you know and talk to voters in Virginia?(I noticed your IP is Northern Ohio)
#15 Jun 16, 2014
So you think these votes are just antiestablishment politician votes and not pro any particular stance on any issues? Did you base this on what you have heard from actual Va. voters?
#16 Jun 16, 2014
. Your questions are all answered with the affirmative! I am a life long resident of Virginia! His running for speaker in Washington, and neglecting his home base------ he thought he was undefeatable! Well, what do you know???
#17 Jun 16, 2014
Without hearing or seeing much on actual old Cantor district voters I do think this is anti-establishment voting. Like I said third party flack has been going for decades so I can see why the RepubliCANTs, DemocRATs and mainstream media are surprised. There were many issues at work, lower voter turnout and Cantors actual record with HIS district and that includes his attitude and behavior.
#18 Jun 19, 2014
Thanks for answering. The political pundits sure seem to be getting there predictions wrong lately .

Scientists show E-numbers link with hyperactivity
6th September, 2007
A major new study has shown a link between additives in children's food and hyperactivity.
A three-year programme of research conducted by Southampton University for the Food Standards Agency gave drinks to children containing the E-number additives E110, E102, E122, E124, E129, 104 and the preservative sodium benzoate, E211. The children were then monitored by teachers, parents, and trained observers. Some older children also underwent a 'hyperactivity test'.
The results showed that all drinks containing the additives caused a rise in signs of hyperactivity when compared to placebo drinks. These included switching acitivities, interrupting, talking rapidly and fiddling with objects or their own bodies.
Writing in the Lancet, study leader Professor Jim Stevenson said:
'The present findings, in combination with the replicated evidence for artificial food colour and additives effects on the behaviour of three-year-old children, lent strong support for the case that food additives exacerbate hyperactive behaviours.'
The Food Standards Agency has refused to introduce a ban on food additives, but has instead chosen to advise parents that they should consider removing products with the additives from their child's diet if they 'show signs of hyperactivity or ADHD'.

As chief executive of Skills for Care, the skills agency for adult social care, Sharon Allen's role is to talk up the rewards and opportunities of working with older and disabled people with support needs. She thinks she has a positive story to tell, but is realistic about the scale of the task she faces in trying to change the image of the sector.
"People have been frustrated about the way the sector has been presented as a problem for the country," she says. "It's all about cuts, and how difficult it is, and indeed it is – I wouldn't pretend that it's not extremely challenging for employers and staff.
"But the good-news story is that social care is making a £43bn contribution to the economy and employing 6% of the entire workforce in England. It's a very significant contribution that translates directly into local communities. And it's a growing contribution: our latest figures show that the workforce increased four per cent last year."
Allen is living proof that working in social care is far from the "dead-end job" portrayed by shadow health secretary Andy Burnham in his recent speech to the Labour Party conference. She left school at 16 and began working in a bank, but found it excruciatingly dull and so "fell into" a job as a care assistant with Derbyshire county council. She went on to train as a social worker, acquired a string of qualifications – up to and including an MBA – and became chief executive of a £34m care charity, St Anne's Community Services, before taking over at Skills for Care in 2010.

She describes that first care assistant job as her "light-bulb moment", but, she adds: "If you had said to me at the age of 21 that I would become chief executive of St Anne's, and then of Skills for Care, I would have asked you what a chief executive was."
Allen, 52, is a plain-speaking northerner, who has only just moved from Bradford, her home for the past 25 years, to Cambridge. She has, she says, been pleasantly surprised by the warmth of the welcome at her new local pub – given that it's in the south.
Her record at Skills for Care is attracting growing attention, succeeding as she is in raising the profile of the organisation and delivering on government expectations (the Department of Health being its sponsor and dominant funder), while having reduced "about 25%" of its costs.
"We have had significant funding cuts, as you would expect, and I have no complaint about that," she says. "I would expect there to be more." Because of this, she is looking for other sources of income to sustain the quango's £30m turnover, much of which is passed on to employers in training grants.
"To be future-proofed, and to be able to deliver what the sector needs, I think we have to have a more diverse funding base," she says. "It's sensible for us to have a few different eggs in baskets."
One of Skills for Care's most welcomed achievements has been the clear and authoritative picture it has started to paint of just how important the social care sector is. That £43bn contribution to the economy, said to be a conservative estimate, represents the first attempt to put a value on the sprawling sector, which, in England alone, Skills for Care believes comprises more than 1.6 million jobs carried out by 1.5 million people – significantly more than in the NHS.
Of the total number of jobs, 72% are with private companies or voluntary organisations, but – and here people tend to be pulled up short – the next biggest share, 14%, is accounted for by individuals who use their personal–budget direct payments to employ personal assistants (PAs).
Some way behind that come jobs with local councils (just 9%, even though the common misconception is that councils remain major employers of care workers) and the NHS (5%).
This pattern holds, despite the fact that Skills for Care has revised down its estimate of how many individuals employ PAs. Last year, its calculations assumed, crudely, that all of those in receipt of direct payments did so, a total 178,000. This year, using better data, it thinks the real figure is nearer 100,000 of the 193,000 now getting a direct payment.
The picture is "not quite as exciting", but more accurate, Allen says. "In terms of personalisation, the story is still a good one – that it's growing – but personalisation, of course, doesn't just mean having a direct payment and employing your own staff. There are different ways of doing that, so some people are choosing to take a payment and use other services to buy their care and support … without the responsibility of being an employer."
Nevertheless, the fact that there are an estimated 100,000 people paying PAs does change dramatically the concepts of "employer" and "worker" in which Skills for Care has to trade.
Finding these people, let alone reaching out to them with support for training and development of their PAs, is a tricky task. Many are known to be young disabled people who, understandably, have a preference for PAs near their own age – adding to the pressure to attract more young people into work in the sector. "We are still saying we need an additional one million people by 2025, which is a significant challenge for the sector," says Allen.
She has recently reissued and reinforced guidance to employers, stressing that there is nothing to prevent them from taking on 16-year-old school-leavers: Skills for Care's latest cinema commercial, booked to run ahead of the new Richard Curtis release, About Time, features 18-year-old Ellie Fudge, an apprentice with Gold Hill Care in Buckinghamshire.
Allen is conscious that image matters a great deal in this regard. She knows that the news media will inevitably seize on failings in the care system, and on blunders and abuse by a tiny minority of care workers, while daily good practice by the vast majority goes unremarked upon.
Recognising good work
Skills for Care runs its own awards – the popular Accolades – to help counter this and has recently been coordinating the development of a new initiative, the Social Care Commitment. Through this employers and their staff sign up publicly to key principles to deliver safe, high-quality services. In the first two weeks after its launch in September, 350 employers had pledged their support.
Undertakings that workers must make include owning up to mistakes in their practice and reporting – or, if necessary, whistleblowing – if they think the safety or wellbeing of a user of services is at risk. Allen says: "What it's about is saying to people: 'We all have responsibilities. If you notice something is not right, you can't do nothing.' But in the majority of cases, people have just got it wrong and you need to be able to say it's OK to make a mistake – provided you learn from it."
Care providers that sign the commitment will be named on the NHS Choices website (which is soon to be rebranded) and will be expected to demonstrate on their own websites their performance and progress against its yardsticks. Allen thinks it could become a powerful consumer tool with potential to boost service quality and the sector's profile. But she is only too aware that two large, dark clouds hang over that profile.
One is zero-hours contracts, described by Burnham in his speech as a "cancer" that needs cutting out. Skills for Care has estimated that 307,000 social care workers are employed on such contracts, by which staff are guaranteed no set hours of work and are paid only for what they are required to do. As many as six in 10 domiciliary or home-care workers may be being retained in this way. Not paid for travel time between care visits, they may, in effect, be being paid less than the minimum wage.
Choosing her words with care, Allen argues that the practice can have a legitimate place. "What I am told by some employers, and some employees, is that zero-hours contracts, in some circumstances, provide a degree of flexibility that people want. If you have caring responsibilities yourself, or are studying or doing other things, it may work really well for you.
"I think we have got to drill down and find out what exactly is being used here, and how, and whether people are saying 'this is just terrible' or not."
She is rather less defensive on the general issue of low pay in the sector, the second dark cloud – though she points out that "many" employers pay above the minimum wage. Furthermore, she says, one small-scale survey by Skills for Care suggested that issues such as being valued, having learning and development opportunities, and proper supervision were rated more important than wage rates by staff in care providers with workforce turnover rates better than the industry's very poor 20% average.
"Ultimately, though, it's a question that society has to answer as to how much we value the roles people are performing," says Allen. "Perhaps as people of our generation get to be the ones buying this kind of service, we might make different demands about what we expect people to be paid."

Rise and shine happy campers, make sure you have your booties on because it's coooold outside!
That line from Groundhog Day would lead off this blog post regardless of weather conditions, but it certainly rings true today.
It's cold outside, but the dust has been blown off the fax machine and it's heating up inside as the UC recruiting class is coming together as I type.
Thanks to everyone who comes to this blog, but without doubt the place to be this morning is at UC Signing Day Live on this site. Here is the link.
Tommy G has live interviews going on every hour with different members of the UC staff. It opened with Butch Jones and will close with him at 1 p.m., then again with his 2 p.m. presser all the media will attend.
All the highlights of the players are posted on the site as the NLI's come through as well.
Nobody in the Big East does Signing Day as well as Tommy G and the crew. Nobody.
This will be a full class of 25 expected, so there will be plenty of videos and stats to look through if you feel like killing time today. And if I know my demographic well enough, I assume most of you decided to stay in bed and "work from home" today.
Also, the Signing Day Dinner is tonight at the Marriott.
Let's eat...
--- What everyone hopes these recruits will be doing one is heading to the NFL Scouting Combine. Three Bearcats players were officially named to the combine list: OL Jason Kelce, K Jake Rogers and WR Armon Binns.
The event begins Feb. 23.
--- Another player Bearcats wouldn't mind seeing these recruits emulate is Texans DE Connor Barwin. Of course, that's much easier to do these days with Barwin back at UC going to school during his down time. He's training with Bob Mangine and working out around the UC football players.
Barwin took about 20 minutes to chat with me last week and I got around to posting up the interview yesterday. With all the football talk kicking up this week, it only seemed appropriate. If you have some time, it's worth the read. He's insightful, funny and just a refreshing perspective on being a professional athlete.
--- More on football Bearcats with Mardy Gilyard among the Rams players to have postseason surgery.
--- Yesterday I took a look at the 2007 UC recruiting class and how stars correllated to success. Brian Bennett touched on each Big East team's 2007 class and what type of players they produced.
Pulling three or four legit stars out of the class was about the norm.
--- Zac Jackson of FoxOhio writes about Butch Jones' recruiting class and, in particular, Mr. Ohio from Youngstown Ursuline, Akise Teague.
--- Great tweet from Brett McMurphy this morning in regards to recruiting class hype.
"Not sure which is more hyped - and wrong - recruiting classes or Punxsutawney Phil's spring forecast"
--- More statistics on hype vs production in recruiting classes.
--- A quick basketball link, here is a tempo-free conference aerial chart of how UC stacks up in the Big East in terms of efficiency. It simplifies very complicated statistics but also goes to show how close UC is to being one of the best teams in the league if they could just find a way to score more consistently.
--- As for randomness, you have enough highlight videos to watch when you go over to UC Signing Day Live page, so I won't bombard you.
But I would be doing myself a disservice if I didn't throw up a scene from one of the great comedies.
Needlenose Ned! Ned the head! Got the shingles real bad senior year? Bing!

Egypt lifts travel bans on 7 US pro-democracy workers
By Hamza Hendawi ,AP Friday, March 2, 2012, 12:19 am TWN
CAIRO -- Egypt has lifted a travel ban on seven Americans charged with fomenting unrest by working for illegally funded pro-democracy groups, signaling an end to the worst crisis in Egypt-U.S. relations in 30 years.
The clash put US$1.5 billion in annual American aid to Egypt at risk and sparked intense behind-the-scenes negotiations between the two countries to find a way out.
On Wednesday, defense lawyer Tharwat Abdel-Shaheed said the seven Americans, including the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, could only leave the country if they post bail of 2 million Egyptian pounds (about US$300,000). They have also signed pledges to attend their next hearing.
"The ban was lifted on humanitarian grounds, but the bail is way too high," Abdel-Shaheed, who represents some of the American defendants, told The Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the United States was encouraged by reports the ban was lifted but added she had no confirmation.
Egyptian officials said the travel ban was lifted by the country's top prosecutor at the recommendation of the case's investigating judge. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
It was not immediately clear whether the charges against the Americans would be dropped.
But even before the ban was lifted, there were signs the case was dissolving under intense U.S. pressure. The trial of more than 40 U.S. and foreign aid workers opened on Sunday and was adjourned until late April. The court's three judges excused themselves from the case on Tuesday, citing "uneasiness."
Only the Egyptian defendants attended Sunday's hearing, and the judge gave no instructions to police to ensure the American and other foreign defendants attend the next hearing.
The workers were charged following a December raid by Egyptian security of offices of 10 nonprofit pro-democracy and human rights groups, confiscating documents and equipment. The groups were accused of financing protests over the past year with illegally obtained funds and failing to register with the government as required.
The groups insist their financing is transparent, and all their efforts to register have been stalled by the Egyptian government.
The seven Americans who were banned from leaving are among 16 Americans on trial in the case. The other Americans had already left the country before charges were filed against them. Twenty-seven others are on trial, including 16 Egyptians as well as German, Palestinian, Serbian and Jordanian citizens. The travel ban on the non-American foreigners in the case has also been lifted if bail is posted.
The defendants faced charges of using illegally obtained funds to incite protests against the military rulers. They worked for a variety of democracy-promoting organizations, including four U.S. groups.
The heavily publicized case of the four U.S. pro-democracy groups has been linked to the turmoil roiling Egypt since an 18-day popular uprising forced Hosni Mubarak to step down in February last year after three decades in power.
Rights activists have sharply criticized the investigation into the civil society groups and the charges against the workers. They say it is part of an orchestrated effort by the ruling generals to silence critics and cripple organizations critical of their handling of what was supposed to be a transition to democracy.
The charges dovetail with constant pronouncements from the military that protests against their rule are directed by unnamed, dark foreign forces, a claim that is ridiculed by Egyptian activists. Still, the case resonated among many Egyptians who often suspect foreigners, particularly from the West, of meddling in Egypt's affairs.

John Rabe Host, Off-Ramp
- @KPCCofframp
- Phone: (626) 583-5175
John Rabe is the creator and host of Off-Ramp, KPCC's weekend news and arts magazine program, which has twice been named "best local public affairs show."
Prior to his time on Off-Ramp, Rabe was KPCC's host for "All Things Considered" and the station's housing & healthcare reporter, but Off-Ramp lets him do what he loves best, and emulate one of his heroes, the late Huell Howser.
Rabe began his career as a commercial DJ in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, then found his niche as reporter and anchor at WKAR, Michigan State University's public radio station, where he earned his BA in English.
Rabe has also worked in public radio in South Florida, at WHYY in Philadelphia, and Minnesota Public Radio. He came to KPCC in 2000. Off-Ramp debuted in 2006.
He lives with his art curator husband, Julian Bermudez, and Irish terriers in the foothills of Mt Washington.

I gotta hand it to CBS-2 and KCAL-9. On the day the Pulitzer Prizes for Public Service are announced, when the "new journalism" of the web is supposedly in its ascendancy, they're highlighting a slideshow that'll make Sara Lee consider selling Wasa Crispbread instead of cheesecake.

What would be nice is if someone had a tutorial or step by step on how to set up a simple query from windchill to retrieve, lets say, all drawings starting with P/N 40894*. The result should be a table with the drawings listed. I know how to sort the retrieved data in PHP but I dont know how to set up the infoEngine or write the JSP. I also want the P/N to be clickable so taht I can have it in PDF (Which have been published, but the consultant never made it accessable to us).

Add Search Providers to Internet Explorer Using MS WebsiteDavidMertz Nov 6, 2009 1:53 PM (in response to NikeHydraulics-disabled)It does'nt get any easier than this.... 1) Select from the "Search" providers pull down in Microsoft Internet exporer (in Version 7, top right corner of app, usually filled in with "Google". Select "Add Search Providers" from the list. 2a) from the "Create your own" part of the returned page, input the following URL, to search by part number. Make sure you fill in the server name where needed (leave in the word 'TEST', thats what Microsoft uses in its program to figure out where to replace what you've typed in the search box): http://<...>/Windchill/wtcore/jsp/com/ptc/windchill/search/CommonSearchPicker.jsp?useAsReportTool=true&objectType=wt.part.WTPart&whereClause=(number='TEST') 2b) Give search a name: (ie: Search Windchill By Part Number) 3) Repeat steps 2a and 2b replacing the word 'number' with 'name' in the above URL. This time call the search (Search Windchill by Part Name 5) Repeat steps 2 and 3 again replaceing the word wt.part.WTPart with the word wt.doc.WTDocument and the search name 'part' with 'document. 6) Now you have 4 quick ways to find objects.

Thankyou for that Ivan, but, although your application is interesting, it is not what I am looking for.
I have an excel file used by other offices, in wich are some list of part numbers.
I would like to add a column in this file (updated by a vb macro) in wich one will be a hypertext link to open the drawing in internet explorer.
something like:
For i=0 to 1000
cells(i,1).value = "http://myserver/myspecificURLorSpecificWebPage?'" & cells(i,2) & "*.drw'"

My problem is that I am not able to write the specific Url with an article number as argument, or a custom web page, wich will send me back a search report.

i think you can do this only programming using excel API, or write custom application similar to excel on GWT.

Isn-it possible to write a custop webpage in java, wich would accept argument, and wich will do the request to intralink database using apropriate java code?
Re: Windchill searchMichaelSchilling Apr 13, 2012 7:27 AM (in response to larsene)
Hi, i've just found your thread regarding the possibility to search/query in Windchill.
We've defined a really simple to use API with which you can send a URL request to Windchill and it 'answers' back with the appropriate results.
We've built some applications on top of this - you can check two of them here:
The underlying technology is also here the mentioned API. It works really fast and is extremely lightweight. I think you could absolutely use this also from Excel to talk to Windchill. You don't have to do any Java Programming and the impact on the Windchill server is minimal.
Let me know if that sounds interesting!

Reader requests for a New Year's clear-out of less-than-satisfactory words and phrases are piling up (Column 8, since Monday). ''While we're on the subject of eradicating annoying usages, can we please ban the ubiquitous and execrable 'different to' and, to a lesser extent, 'different than' instead of the correct 'different from'?'' asks John Glennon, of Balmain. ''My old English teacher successfully drummed into us the rule that you can be similar to, different from, or greater or lesser than, and never the three shall mix!'' Peter Noone, of Lane Cove North adds: ''While you're at it, get rid off 'head up', as in 'head up the taskforce'.''
''I bought a 2013 calendar,'' writes Fiona Fletcher, of Paddington, ''which included a 'six-month bonus planner' - for July to December 2012. I don't believe it's possible to plan retrospectively.'' Oh, but it is, Fiona. It's the best way, in fact - everything turns out just as you expected it to.
''On the subject of your 'clever pun' on Wednesday,'' protests John Wills, of Woolgoolga,'' the so-called 'unalloyed crimewave' is about brass which is, in fact, an alloy of copper and zinc. Perhaps not so clever as you think.'' Ah, but the brass was being stolen, and so the park was thus ''unalloyed''. Er, OK, maybe it wasn't that great, but it sort of makes sense …
''Further to Thursday's story on 'waterless urinals','' writes Nick Harrison, of East Lismore, ''some have been installed in the Byron Shire Council building in Mullumbimby, under a sign which boasts that 'no water has been unnecessarily wasted'.''
This surely, simply, just has to be the last word on the number games that can be played with the year 2013 (Column 8, for too long). According to Janez Valencic, of Denistone East, ''2013 is a special year as it starts a triple of years 2013 (3x11x61), 2014 (2x19x53) and 2015 (5x13x31) that can be expressed as a product of three different prime factors. I have gone from 1973 to 2043 and have not found another triple, indeed not even a pair of consecutive years that have the same property.'' Good heavens!
''Regarding which is the more painful, giving birth or being stung by a bluebottle, the bluebottle sting wins,'' insists ''Unkle Cyril'', of East Corrimal (Column 8, Thursday), ''as many mothers choose to have more babies, whereas no one chooses to get stung by a bluebottle again.''

Some final thoughts on the Patriots win over the Jets
|11.14.11 at 8:23 pm ET
Before the page is turned, three more things about Patriots and Jets…
Julian Edelman working as a defensive back: With New England perilously think at corner after the injury to Devin McCourty, the former college quarterback worked as the slot corner for a handful of plays in the second half. (ESPN Boston had him listed with four defensive snaps.) On Monday, Bill Belichick said the Patriots went with less intricate coverage schemes when he was in the game, but added that Edelman knows his way around the defensive playbook. "He has to be able to play what we're running," explained Belichick on Monday. "We're not probably looking to run every single call in the book at that point; we're going with two or three calls there at the end of the game because of the situation. He'll know enough; he does know enough. He's a smart kid. He's worked in there before. He would know enough to do be able to do whatever it is we have."
The Patriots won the special teams battle: It wasn't just Niko Koutouvides recovering a key fumble on a third-quarter punt. It wasn't just Zoltan Mesko putting two of his four punts inside the 20 and averaging 46.8 yards per punt. And it wasn't just Matthew Slater making a great special teams tackle on a punt return. Stephen Gostkowski rebounded from one of the worst games of his career to go 3-for-3 on field goal attempts (connecting from 50, 36 and 27 yards), put four of his nine kickoffs in the end zone and make good on all four extra-point attempts. When compared to his counterpart Nick Folk (who set the tone with a missed 24-yarder on the Jets opening drive), Gostkowski certainly stood tall.
No Gary Guyton: At all: There were various moments during the night where we saw Guyton standing on the sidelines. He was dressed and ready to go, but all his snaps at inside linebacker were taken by Jeff Tarpinian. In the end, the only two players who dressed but did not play a single snap were Guyton and backup quarterback Brian Hoyer. (We tried to find out how many times, if at all, Guyton dressed but did not play, but we couldn't find it. According to Pro Football Focus, Sunday night marked the fewest snaps for Guyton since he played just two snaps in Week 2 of the 2008 season against the Jets.) Guyton was questionable heading into the game with a shoulder injury. On Monday, Belichick was asked about Guyton's playing time. "Players that were active for the game were active for the game. The players that weren't active, either weren't active because of injuries or because of coaching decisions," Belichick said. "Anybody that was active for the game was able to play. He missed some time this week in practice and that was a concern going into the game, but he was active for the game."

Research aimed at developing ultrasonic microphones with insect-like sensitivity is to continue in the rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador.
Following the discovery of a previously unidentified hearing organ in the South American bushcrickets' ear, a scientist from the University of Lincoln (UK) will now study the role of this Auditory Vesicle in hearing sensitivity.
Dr Fernando Montealegre-Zapata, from the University's School of Life Sciences, aims to understand how bushcrickets or katydids pick up on ultrasonic frequencies in their natural environment. The insects communicate using the highest-pitched calls in nature (130-150 kHz), which are not detected by humans. The male produces sound by rubbing its wings to attract distant females.
He said: "This animal can detect ultrasonic signals even at long distances. The problem is that at such high frequencies the sound travels in very short wavelengths which get diffracted, meaning the sound gets weaker as more obstacles are in the dispersive path. However, the bushcricket's small ear is still able to detect this fading ultrasonic energy at long distances. I want to test how the bushcrickets manage to do that in a field environment. The fluid in the katydid 'cochlea', which I named the Auditory Vesicle, is the key element in the hearing process. We want to investigate why this is the case and the first step is testing its sensitivity in their natural environment and revealing the chemical composition."
In mammals, hearing relies on three stages: an eardrum collecting sound, a middle ear impedance converter and a cochlear frequency analyser. Dr Montealegre-Zapata recently demonstrated that the bushcricket's ear performs these steps in the hearing process, something previously unknown in insects.
The calls of the bushcricket are theoretically not suited for long-range attraction, as ultrasound suffers excess attenuation in rainforest environments. Therefore, the insect's ears must have evolved to achieve sufficient sensitivity at such frequencies.
Dr Montealegre-Zapata said: "I want to find out how these insects mitigate the effects of sound degradation and how the female ear is structurally and functionally organised to detect distant calling males. The small ear will be used as a biological microphone to detect the sensitivity and hearing range of the female. In the future we want to produce microphones that work like this."
The ears of these ultrasonic insects are extremely sensitive and have a clear size and sensitivity ratio advantage over equally responsive microphones.
In particular, condenser microphones (used in hearing research, plus the automotive and music industries) are expensive, mechanically fragile, susceptible to humidity and not very sensitive.
By constructing network analogues between mechanical (insect) and electrical (microphone) systems, this project can advance research into the design and construction of ultrasensitive microphones with unusual broad frequency responses.

Black propaganda in Ulster
Thatcher: 'I was misled'
The Government yesterday launched a second investigation into the Colin Wallace affair after the Prime Minister admitted she had been personally misled over the existence of a black propaganda operation by security agencies in Northern Ireland in the 1970s.
The Ministry of Defence will investigate how confidential papers about the duties of the former senior Army information officer went missing and were not brought to the attention of ministers when they denied the operation.
A Commons statement on the affair will be made today by Mr Tom King, Secretary of State for Defence, with the Labour leadership urging the intervention of the Commons select committee on privileges and with some MPs pressing for a wider inquiry. Yesterday details began to emerge of how officials belatedly unearthed two documents relating to the Clockwork Orange propaganda campaign in which Mr Wallace was involved. They were uncovered by an MoD official as he searched through the archives for job appointment application records.
Previous searches had failed to uncover any reference to Mr Wallace's claimed role in psychological warfare operations. That was because officials had only examined Mr Wallace's personal file.
The Prime Minister was one of those ministers caught out by the failure to make wider searches. She said yesterday in a letter to a Tory MP that an examination of departmental papers had brought to light information that showed a number of statements in her letters and in other ministerial statements and official correspondence were incorrect.
"Inquiries are being made to establish how these errors in the handling of departmental papers occurred."
The Times has learnt that during a cross-checking of general files that listed a whole range of jobs in Ulster, the official came across a document referring to Clockwork Orange, which recorded an oral description given to Mr Wallace of a covert role he would be expected to play. Another document said he would be expected to give unattributable briefings to journalists.
Mr Wallace, who was dismissed in 1975 for leaking a restricted document, has claimed that he was victimized because he exposed dirty tricks.

Govt to make statement on airport metro suspension
The Urban Development Ministry will meet with officials of Reliance Infrastructure, DMRC to try and resolve the issue.
New Delhi: The Urban Development Ministry will meet with officials of Reliance Infrastructure and the DMRC to try and resolve the issue of the Metro Airport Express which has been shut for the time being due to technical problems and safety risks. The ministry is likely to make a statement on Monday afternoon regarding the airport metro suspension.
Delhi Metro has sought to shift the blame on Airport Express Metro operator Reliance Infra for suspension of its services by suggesting that the situation could have been avoided if the concessionaire had detected defects on time.
However, Reliance Infrastructure maintained that a decision to suspend services on the 23-km high-speed corridor was taken on the issue of safety after receiving expert advice.
Services on the Airport Metro were suspended from Sunday last after some faults on the civil structure was detected on the corridor. While Delhi Metro has built the civil structure on the Line, the Reliance Infra is responsible for operations and maintenance.
As it appeared that the blame was being shifted to the Delhi Metro, its chief Mangu Singh dashed off a letter to Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath earlier this week apparently blaming the Reliance Infrastructure for the current situation.
In the letter written on July 11, Singh is believed to have blamed Reliance Infra for not detecting the defects in the bearings which are the interface between the pillar and girder.
Asked to react on the development, Reliance Infra spokesman said: "Passenger safety is our primary concern. Thus, in keeping with our corporate philosophy of attaching the highest importance to safety, we have taken this decision, on the basis of expert advice received."
A committee comprising officials from the Indian Railways, Delhi Metro and Reliance Infrastructure is already going into the nature of defects and would submit a report within the next couple of days after which rectification works would be carried out.

I've been generally impressed by Samsung's NV (New Vision) series of digital compact cameras. Since the launch of the NV3 and NV10 in 2006 the NV range has been Samsung's premium compact camera line, combining the latest technology, superior build quality, stylish design and top-quality optics, but at the same time maintaining Samsung's reputation for good value for money.
The NV range now consists of eleven models, and the second-from-top is this, the NV30, launched along with the L210 and the range-leading 10.1-megapixel NV40 in January this year. The NV30 is an 8.1-megapixel model with a 3x zoom lens, a 2.5-inch 230k monitor and optical image stabilisation.
In terms of specification the NV30 is comparable to a few other current premium models from other manufacturers, such as the Canon IXUS 80 IS, (£150) or the Sony Cyber-shot W80 (£130), and against these models its £115 price tag is excellent value, but in fact most other manufacturers have moved on to longer zoom ranges and wider angle lenses for their premium lines this year, leaving the NV30 with its limited 37-111mm-equivalent zoom range looking a bit like last year's news.
Like all the NV models the NV30 is striking to look at. The overall style is in keeping with the other models in the range, and is obviously derived from earlier models such as the NV10 and NV15. Physically it is slightly smaller than the NV15, measuring 94.5 x 59 x 18.8 mm, and also significantly lighter at 133g. Like the other models in the series the body is all metal and the build quality is extremely good. The NV30 is available finished in either silver or the semi-matt black seen here. The distinctive shape is similar to previous NV models, but the shape of the handgrip has been altered slightly, making the camera even more comfortable and secure to hold.
Picture is extremely big on page 2!
Yes, sorry about that, there were a couple of picture errors that have now been corrected.
Any chance you'll be looking at the NV24HD at some stage?
Also, it would be great if you could add a couple of lines about the video modes when you do camera reviews, as it's rarely mentioned. What's normally hard to find is things like if you can zoom while you're shooting video or not, what format it records video in and if you can recorded unlimited ammounts of video.
is this the same camera for 䀆 on amazon?
Looks like it, Michael - nice find.
I'll see if we can get them listed on our Latest Price for this review.
Though beware the tempting e-mails from Amazon offering a 10MP NV30 - it is in fact an 8MP camera, as will be seen by clicking on the link in the e-mail and checking out the cam on the Amazon website. Ooops. Still good value though at 䀆.
"iso3200" = iso1200 ( samsung NV24HD )
please visit, diwa labs site ! ;)
I need some help buying a camera. my budget is 𧶀 and i was looking to buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 or the Nikon CoolPix S600 and now i have seen the Samsung NV30 and i was wondering if anybody can help me pick one please :) thank you
i will be checkin back on this review if any1 can reply i will very much appreciate it
Thank you again :):)

Dental disease (especially periodontal disease) is the most common disease in our canine companions. It is also one of the most preventable and treatable diseases. Fortunately, we can reduce or even prevent dental disease by feeding a crunchy diet, appropriate chew treats and toys and daily tooth brushing. The following are steps to guide you on how to brush your dog's teeth:
The first step is to start with a clean, healthy mouth. Good dental hygiene should start with a young pet with healthy new teeth and gums, or after your pet has had a professional dental cleaning.
You will need a soft-bristled tooth brush and veterinary toothpaste. Human toothpaste and baking soda may cause problems. Furthermore, veterinary toothpaste have flavors that are appealing to dogs. Anything other than a bristled tooth brush will not get below the gum line, which is the most important area to brush.
There are several important facts about our pets' mouths that tell us when, where and how to brush. Periodontal disease usually affects the upper, back teeth first and worst. Plaque builds up on the tooth surface daily, especially just under the gum line. It takes less than 36 hours for this plaque to become mineralized and harden into "tartar" (calculus) that cannot be removed with a brush. Because of this progression, brushing should be done daily, with a brush to remove the plaque from under the gum line.
Pick a time of day that will become a convenient part of your pet's daily routine. Just before a walk or before a daily treat can help your pet actually look forward to brushing time. Take a few days to let both of you get use to the process. Follow with praise and a walk or treat each time.
The Angell Dentistry Service is experienced at treating periodontal disease, fractured teeth, malocclusions, jaw fractures, oral tumors, feline resorptive lesions, and stomatitis. In addition, the dentistry staff frequently works with the other specialists at Angell to prepare and manage patients with special anesthesia needs.
