Fitness: Increasing Core Stability
Increasing your core stability means making the muscles of your trunk stronger to keep your spine and body stable. This helps you stay balanced when you move.
Core stability benefits everyone, from older people to top professional athletes.
Core stability means that the trunk of your body—your core—is strong and able to support the rest of your muscles as you move. When your core isn't stable because its muscles are weak, you may lose your balance more easily. And you may hurt yourself more easily when you make sudden movements or movements you're not used to.
The main muscles involved in core stability are the inner core muscles in your abdomen and pelvis. These muscles act mostly to support your spine and body while other muscles do the work of moving you.
Other muscles closer to the surface help with core stability and also help you move. These include:
Increasing your core stability strengthens all these muscles. It also helps you learn to use your inner muscles before you start to move—for example, tightening your stomach before you lift something.
Test Your Knowledge
Your inner core muscles work mainly to move your body.
The benefits of strengthening your core muscles may include:
- The strong, healthy feeling that comes from good posture.
- Confidence from strength and good balance.
- More strength and power for your activities.
- Less chance of injury.
- Decrease in, or prevention of, low back pain.
Test Your Knowledge
Core stability exercise may:
Improve your posture.
All of these answers are correct.
Strong trunk muscles help support your spine to improve your posture. Good posture means that when you are standing, your ears, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles all line up. Core stability can also improve your balance and help protect you from injury.
Improve your balance.
All of these answers are correct.
Good balance means you can constantly adjust to your body's normal movements and to unexpected movements such as when you trip or bump into something. Increasing your core stability strengthens and trains the inner core muscles of your trunk so you can make these adjustments better and improve your balance. Core stability can also improve your posture and help protect you from injury.
Help protect you from injury.
All of these answers are correct.
Core stability helps you stay balanced and smoothly transfer weight and forces of movement from one body part to another as you move. This smooth, coordinated movement helps protect you from injury. Core stability can also improve your posture and balance.
Core stability exercises are easy to do. It's more important that you do them well than that you do a lot of them. That's why it's a good idea to have a physical therapist check to be sure you have learned to use the right muscles and breathe normally while you do the exercises.
When you do any core stability exercise, it's important to make sure:
You are breathing right. When you exercise, you should breathe mostly with your diaphragm, the
large muscle that helps move air in and out of your lungs. To learn to breathe
with your diaphragm:
- Lie down on your back and put your hand on your stomach.
- When you breathe in and out, your hand should move up and down. Notice how it feels to breathe this way.
- When you start to exercise, try to get the same feeling of your chest and belly moving in and out as you breathe, rather than your chest and shoulders moving up toward your neck and back down.
You find your neutral spine. Neutral spine is the
name for posture that maintains the
three normal curves in your spine—one in your neck, one in your upper back,
and one in your lower back. Your
spine should be in this neutral position when you do core stability exercises. It
may seem more relaxing to let yourself slump down. But when you lose the normal
curves of a neutral spine, you actually put more stress on your body. To find your neutral spine:
- Stand in front of a mirror with your hands on your hips. Allow your low back to arch so your stomach juts forward, and your buttocks stick out. Notice how your hands rotate forward.
- Tighten the muscles around your stomach and buttocks so your low back becomes very flat. Notice how your hands rotate backward.
- Now go halfway between the forward and back positions.
- Keeping your pelvis in this neutral position, stand tall with your ears and shoulders lined up over your hips.
- Practice finding this neutral spine in three positions: standing, sitting, and lying on your back with your knees bent. When you can do that, you can maintain good posture for daily activities and for exercise.
Two simple exercises to try
Pulling your belly in
You can do this exercise anywhere, in any position. Try it while you work at your desk, drive, or stand waiting for your turn at the drugstore.
- Pull in your belly and imagine pulling your belly button back toward your spine. Remember to keep your neutral spine while you do this—don't let your back bend forward.
- Hold this for about 6 seconds. Remember to keep breathing normally.
- Rest for up to 10 seconds.
- Repeat 8 to 12 times.
Floor bridge
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Find your neutral spine position, and hold it during the exercise. Pull in your belly, as in the exercise above.
- Push with your feet and raise your buttocks up a few inches.
- Hold about 6 seconds. Remember to breathe normally.
- Lower yourself slowly to the floor and rest for up to 10 seconds.
- Repeat 8 to 12 times.
After you have mastered these simple exercises, your physical therapist can help you find more challenging ways to work on your trunk muscles. For example, you might do some activities while standing up, then do the same activities while sitting on a large ball called a Swiss ball. The ball makes it harder for you to keep your balance as you do the activity.
Test Your Knowledge
One goal of core stability exercises is to learn to contract the inner core muscles while you keep breathing normally.
This answer is correct.
You want to be able to contract your core muscles while you are doing activities, so it's important to be able to keep breathing normally at the same time.
This answer is incorrect.
You want to be able to contract your core muscles while you are doing activities, so it's important to be able to keep breathing normally at the same time.
It's important to do many repetitions of core stability exercises.
This answer is incorrect.
The quality of your core stability exercises is most important. That means it's better to be in the right position and learn to contract your core muscles while you breathe normally, rather than do a lot of repeated exercises.
This answer is correct.
The quality of your core stability exercises is most important. That means it's better to be in the right position and learn to contract your core muscles while you breathe normally, rather than do a lot of repeated exercises.
You must use special equipment for core stability exercises.
This answer is incorrect.
The first core stability exercises you learn require no equipment at all. Later, you may use an inflatable ball called a Swiss ball or other simple equipment.
This answer is correct.
The first core stability exercises you learn require no equipment at all. Later, you may use an inflatable ball called a Swiss ball or other simple equipment.
Now that you have learned why a stable core is so important, you are ready to start building your trunk stability. If you would like to learn more, talk to a physical therapist. Many health and exercise facilities have therapists or instructors who can help you.
Increasing core stability may be helpful for health conditions such as those discussed in these topics:

I liked the pictures but Obito`s screams were silly looking. Like he was howling. I'm trying hard to take him seriously as a villain but it looks like he has a split personality. That one more looked like the silly Tobi that was playing around. Anyhow, I had trouble seeing what was going on. Did Kakashi kill Rin or was it a setup by the mist ninja or was it a clone? What was Kakashi's reaction and did Obito bring Rin away? Did Kakashi even see him? It was just hard to see, even after second reading. I hope next chapter brings some answers.
Obito has to become a cooler villain, really.

Padres at Cubs
Today: Padres RHP Andrew Cashner (1-1, 3.26 ERA) vs. Cubs RHP Scott Feldman (1-3, 3.92 ERA), 5:05 p.m.
On the air: FSSD; 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)
CHICAGO The Padres took advantage of the wind blowing straight out to center at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night to hit three home runs and post season highs for runs, hits (17) and extra-base hits (nine) in a 13-7 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Nick Hundley, Yonder Alonso and Carlos Quentin homered for the Padres. The Cubs also hit four homers.
The 13 runs were the most ever scored by the Padres at Wrigley Field as they won their fifth game in six outings, including last weekend's sweep of the Giants at Petco Park.
"From top to bottom, that's as well as we've swung the bats all season," said Padres manager Bud Black, who was speaking in terms of quality as well as quantity.
Everyone in the starting lineup, including starting pitcher Edinson Volquez, had at least one hit as the Padres' team batting average shot up eight points to .251 and the slugging percentage jumped 20 points.
"That's why we say hitting is contagious," Hundley said. "Not only did we get hits, we got two-out hits and hits with runners in scoring position."
After going 1-for-10 in RISP situations in Monday night's 5-3 loss, the Padres were 8-for-20 with runners in scoring position Tuesday.
Hundley and Quentin each drove in three runs while Alonso and rookie second baseman Jedd Gyorko had two RBIs apiece.
Hundley had the longest homer of the night, his three-run shot in the top of the eighth bouncing off a walkway at the back of the grandstands in left-center. It was the catcher's third homer of the season.
"That's one of the harder hit balls in my career," Hundley said.
Quentin's solo homer in the sixth to left-center also qualified as a tape-measure shot.
Quentin also had two doubles and a sacrifice fly. Alonso and Headley each finished 3-for-5 and Gyorko and Chase Headley had two hits apiece.
Gyorko, who was hitting .172 with runners in scoring position, put the Padres on the board with a two-run double in the second and Quentin made it 3-0 with a sacrifice fly in the third.
The Padres scored five runs in the fifth to spot Volquez an 8-0 lead. The Cubs halved the lead in the bottom of the fifth on a pair of two-run homers by Luis Valbuena and Starlin Castro.
Volquez improved to 2-3 despite giving up four runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. He departed after walking the bases loaded with two outs in the sixth after going a career-best 13 innings without issuing a walk.
Volquez threw 47 pitches through the first four innings and 48 over the last 1 2/3 innings.
"I lost my release point in the last inning," said Volquez, who said he can't remember ever going 13 straight innings without a walk. "Everything was good until that last inning."
"I think Volkie is a lot more focused on executing pitches rather than firing the fastball," Hundley said. "His effort is down. He's just throwing easy and letting the ball work."
"The first four innings were outstanding," Black said of Volquez. "He had effective use of the fastball, change-up and curve in the zone. It was a tough night to pitch. The conditions were favorable for hitters and Eddie held down the fort."
Volquez is 5-0 lifetime against the Cubs and 3-0 at Wrigley Field.
"I don't worry about the wind," said Volquez. "I'm just trying to pitch."
Quentin took responsibility for a blunder in the first inning of Monday's game. With runners on second and third and one out, a pitch bounced away from Cubs catcher Wellington Castillo on strike three to Quentin. Rather than run to first, Quentin signaled Everth Cabrera home. "My fault," said Quentin. "I was concentrating on Cabrera."
• Left-hander Robbie Erlin made his major league debut in the ninth inning and gave up two runs, including the second homer in as many nights by former Padre Cody Ransom.

Management Problems
The Platte River Basin Plan was developed to address objectives provided in the Missouri Department of Conservation Strategic Plan, Fisheries Division Operational Plan (FY 1996-2000), Stream Areas Program Plan, and the Stream Access Acquisition Plan. These plans indicate areas of future expanded resource management, public awareness, and access needs. Major areas of concern in the Platte River basin include water quality, riparian and aquatic habitat, aquatic communities, and recreational use. All goals are of equal importance, however, objectives are listed in order of priority under each goal. This plan only includes those items that the Missouri Department of Conservation can reasonably attain or influence during the next 25 years. Completion of these objectives will depend upon their status in overall Regional and Divisional priorities, as well as the availability of personnel and funds.
Status: Streams within the Platte River basin suffer from several water quality problems associated with point and non-point source pollution. Sewage effluent from several waste water treatment facilities is the primary point source pollutant within the basin. Turbidity and sedimentation from erosion, and organic runoff from livestock operations are non-point sources of pollution in the basin. The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has reduced the acreage of highly erodible soil that once was in row crop production within the basin. However, most contracts will expire by 1998, and this could result in this land reverting to row crop production. In addition, there is increased interest in construction of concentrated animal feeding operations within the basin that could result in an increase in livestock waste runoff.
Objective 1.1
Water quality standards met in all streams within the basin.
Strategy: Enforcing existing state and federal water quality regulations will help reduce the number of violations that currently occur. Providing assistance in gathering additional water quality data within the basin will provide more information about stream health throughout the entire basin. This information can be used to provide justification for further protection and increased enforcement.
- Review NPDES, 404, and other permits and provide recommendations so that compliance with water quality standards are maintained within the basin.
- Collect fish for contaminant analysis for the Missouri Department of Health and cooperate in advising the fishing public on the effects of contaminant levels in fishes within the basin.
- Cooperate with other state and federal agencies to investigate fish kill reports and other water quality related problems that are reported in the basin.
- Monitor water quality and insure compliance with discharge permits. Most of this work is under the jurisdiction of Missouri Department of Natural Resources, but with training, volunteer groups such as Stream Teams could assist with water quality monitoring and be strong advocates for water quality throughout the basin.
- Inform the public of water quality problems (i.e., sedimentation, livestock runoff, and sewage effluent) affecting streams in the basin through media and personal contacts, literature development and distribution, and special or educational events such as National Hunting and Fishing Day.
Objective 1.2
Maintain base flows within the Platte River basin at or above current levels within the constraints imposed by natural seasonal variations in precipitation.
Strategy: Work closely with agricultural agencies to address concerns related to adequate streamflows within the basin, and work with state and local governments on laws and regulations pertaining to maintenance of base flows.
- Support the development of a Missouri water law that addresses the quantity of water in Missouri streams.
- Provide technical assistance for SALT and EARTH projects as requested by Soil and Water Conservation Districts so base flows can be maintained.
- Inform the public of water quantity problems affecting streams in the basin through media and personal contacts, literature development and distribution, and special or educational events such as St. Joseph Sport Show and National Hunting and Fishing Day.
Status: Channelization and levees negatively affect riparian and aquatic habitats through increased stream bed and bank erosion, sedimentation, and by reducing wooded corridors, instream cover, and pool/riffle habitat complexes. Due to past channelization, some stream channels have down-cut below the root systems of trees. Thus, the few trees that are present provide little, if any, streambank stabilization. In addition, landowners in the basin are reluctant to restore 100 feet wide vegetated corridors along each streambank due to the loss in row crop acreage.
Objective 2.1
Eliminate additional channelization, re-channelization, or levee construction projects within the Platte River basin.
Strategy: Preventing future channel alterations will require a combination of watchdog activities that will facilitate enforcement of current laws and educational programs so in the future, the need for law enforcement action will be minimized.
- Review all 404 and other permits within the basin and provide comments on these applications to reduce impacts of channelization and levee construction.
- Cooperate with MDC Outreach and Education Division in presenting materials related to stream ecology and effects of channelization to elementary and/or secondary school teachers and students within the basin.
Objective 2.2
Inform landowners within the Platte River basin about good stream stewardship practices and the importance of riparian corridors. Efforts to maintain and improve riparian conditions will be concentrated along Castile Creek and portions of Honey Creek, both of which were identified as possessing unique habitat within the basin.
Strategy: Advertising and promoting stream incentive programs, installing and maintaining demonstration projects, and providing educational opportunities regarding stream stewardship will allow landowners to be more aware of the reasons and techniques for protecting streams. Promoting stream incentive programs for improving riparian habitats will likely encourage more landowners to participate.
- Cooperate with Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and University Extension personnel to promote cost share programs that include streambank and streambed stabilization, alternate watering sources, excluding livestock access, and establishing and maintaining adequate stream corridors.
- Provide recommendations to all landowners who request assistance that are willing to establish and maintain adequate stream corridors.
- Provide stream management workshops for NRCS and University Extension staff every five years for those people who have responsibilities for agriculture programs within the Platte River basin.
- Cooperate with NRCS and Soil and Water Conservation Districts to establish SALT and EARTH projects within the basin.
- Establish stream management demonstration sites within the basin.
- Promote sound land management practices that enhance stream quality through landowner workshops and demonstration site tours within the basin.
- Cooperate with MDC Outreach and Education Division in using streams within the basin for aquatic education programs.
Status: A comprehensive survey of the fishes inhabiting the Platte River basin is needed in unsampled, or inadequately sampled streams. Several species of fish desirable to anglers are found in the basin. Catfish (channel, blue, and flathead) are the most sought after species, but sufficient samples to assess their populations are lacking. Some invertebrate sampling has been conducted, but a comprehensive study across the basin has not been conducted.
Objective 3.1
Assess and maintain native non-game fish populations and aquatic invertebrates at or above present levels throughout the basin.
Strategy: Assess the status of fish and invertebrate communities throughout the basin through a cooperative effort between MDNR, MDC, Iowa DNR, Missouri Western State College, and Northwest Missouri State University. Achieving habitat objectives within the basin should ensure maintenance and improvement of aquatic communities within the basin. To determine if there are changes in aquatic communities within the basin, periodic surveys will need to be conducted with directed effort toward collecting uncommon species within the basin.
- Develop standard sampling techniques for assessing fish and aquatic invertebrate communities, including use of indicator species.
- Implement a sampling program that monitors diversity and abundance of aquatic communities throughout the basin in cooperation with MDNR, Iowa DNR, Missouri Western State College, and Northwest Missouri State University. Through training, Stream Teams could provide additional information on aquatic communities within the basin.
- Enforcement of regulations pertaining to water quality and quantity, enhancement of riparian corridors, and improvement of instream habitat will help protect and enhance native aquatic communities within the basin.
Objective 3.2
Evaluate sportfish populations within basin streams and provide recommendations for maintenance and improvement of these populations to a level that satisfies the angling public.
Strategy: Assess the quality of sportfish populations and provide recommendations for the enhancement of populations through regulations, habitat improvement, or stocking. Information on angler use, harvest, or attitudes within basin streams has not been collected since the early 1970's. This information would be of utility in managing sportfish populations within the basin, and it would provide guidance for future management within the basin.
- Develop standardized sampling protocol for target species (primarily catfish), and implement monitoring program to collect trend data on sportfish populations within the basin that will be used to evaluate and manage these populations.
- Identify critical habitats for catfish (primarily channel catfish and flathead catfish) at all life stages and maintain or enhance these areas as needed to increase production.
- Improve populations of sportfish through regulations and habitat improvements once population objectives have been determined.
- Conduct a creel survey to determine angler use, harvest, and attitudes within the basin. Compare these results with previous study conducted in the early 1970's.
- Increase awareness of the recreational potential of fishes other than sportfish such as common carp, buffalo, gar, and freshwater drum through articles in local newspapers, outdoor magazines, and/or a possible Missouri Conservationist magazine article.
Status: Most citizens within the basin have a lack of understanding and appreciation for the importance of stream resources in the region. There is little regard for the well-being of streams within the basin.
Objective 4.1
Increase the current level of public understanding of local stream resources and proper stream management practices.
Strategy: Increasing public awareness and education of stream values should result in improvements in the level of appreciation local stream resources now receive. Enhanced awareness of streams within the basin should result in heightened concern about stream quality within the basin.
- Promote formation of Stream Teams within the basin through contacts with local civic organizations and schools.
- Locate local streams within the basin that are near schools that also possess adequate access for field trips.
- Cooperate with Missouri Western State College, Northwest Missouri State University, and MDC Outreach and Education Division in using local streams in the basin for aquatic education programs.
- Promote the values of stream resources within the basin through local newspaper articles, radio, and television.
Status: Past recreational use on the lower Platte River was dominated by fishing and hunting activities. However, 38% of all trips were not related to hunting or fishing, and this indicated the needs of this group should be addressed. This study was conducted more than 25 years ago, and current recreational use within the basin is unknown. Turbid water and intensively farmed land are not aesthetically pleasing to most, and this limits the amount of recreational float trips in the basin. There are still some areas in the basin that are scenic, and with restoration of wooded corridors and public awareness of the resource, increases in non-consumptive use are possible.
Objective 5.1
Increase recreational opportunities on and along streams within the basin.
Strategy: The MDC strategic plan calls for an increase in stream use to accommodate an overall increase in the level of use as construction of new reservoirs declines. Public satisfaction with existing recreational opportunities on and along streams within the basin needs to be determined. In addition, future acquisition sites, facilities, and recreational opportunities should be identified.
- Conduct creel, recreational use, and needs survey periodically (every 10 years) to identify needs of the public.
- Continue acquisition and development of stream access and frontage sites within the basin based on Stream Areas Program Strategic Plan and recommendations from MDC Fisheries staff in the Northwest and Kansas City Regions.
- Increase recreational use at current MDC sites within the basin through implementation of management plans for each area.
Objective 5.2
All potential recreationists have access to information on stream use opportunities within the basin.
Strategy: It is assumed that the public is not fully aware of the recreational opportunities that currently exist on or along streams within the basin. Publicity should increase the awareness and use of opportunities within the basin. This in turn should lead to an appreciation of this resource and foster an opinion that the resource is worth protecting.
- Publicize recreational opportunities within the Platte River basin in local newspaper, radio, and television programs, and the MDC's web page.
- Include information from the Platte River basin in publications that promote hunting, fishing, floating, hiking, and other activities related to stream resources.
- Maintain a stream emphasis at public events such as the St. Joseph Sport Show and the National Hunting and Fishing Day.

Arapahoe County Commissioners on Tuesday approved a working agreement with the oil and gas industry that would allow the companies to fast track applications if they exceed new state standards.
Energy companies would need to sign a memorandum of understanding that outlines best practices and has tighter guidelines than new state regulations that start in August. The permitting process would then be expedited, Arapahoe County spokeswoman Haley McKean.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and not the cities or counties, would monitor the drilling process. Local governments, such as Arapahoe County, could set requirements that deal with what's above the ground, such as noise, water and storage of waste water.
Similar agreements are being reached in other communities where oil and gas drilling — and especially horizontal drilling, or fracking — is happening or will happen in the future.
"That stuff down the hole, in most cases, is the jurisdiction of the state," said Arapahoe County Commissioner Rod Bockenfeld. "Ours are mostly land-use responsibilities and anything involving health, safety and welfare."
Any violations of the agreement or other concerns can be brought to the county's public works department and, ultimately to the county commissioners for consideration.
"I think we have a good process as to the heightened level of concern that allows a matter to come to the full board, if the public works director feels any significant issues arise from any one application," Bockenfeld said.
But Sonia Skakich-Scrima of What the Frack?! Arapahoe, one of several people who spoke out at a public hearing Tuesday, asked the county to strengthen regulations or put off the vote until more studies are done regarding possible negatives affects of fracking and drilling.
She said among the concerns are pits that are used to store wastewater — often contaminated with chemicals — from the drilling process.
"The health risks need to be further studied to see what the appropriate distance is for health issues from these evaporation pits," Skakich-Scrima said.
She said she will continue to ask the county to stiffen regulations. "The MOU has too many holes in it."

Vertex Pharmaceuticals Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (VRTX)
TheStreet) -- Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: VRTX) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C- . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, good cash flow from operations and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.60, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.72, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 147.02% to $105.96 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 20.06%.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. When compared to other companies in the Biotechnology industry and the overall market, VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INC's return on equity has significantly outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INC has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INC turned its bottom line around by earning $0.04 versus -$3.77 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 537.5% in earnings (-$0.18 versus $0.04).
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Biotechnology industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 126.0% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $221.11 million to -$57.54 million.

Subject: AIX - Misc/AIX-NOTES
From: Vladimir Marangozov <firstname.lastname@example.com>
To: firstname.lastname@example.com (Guido van Rossum)
Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 11:41:00 +0200 (EET)
(1) A problem has been reported with "make test" failing because of "weird
indentation." Searching the comp.lang.python newsgroup reveals several
threads on this subject, and it seems to be a compiler bug in an old
version of the AIX CC compiler. However, the compiler/OS combination
which has this problem is not identified. In preparation for the 1.4
release, Vladimir Marangozov (email@example.com) and Manus Hand
(firstname.lastname@example.com) reported no such troubles for the following compilers and
operating system versions:
AIX C compiler version 3.1.2 on AIX 4.1.3 and AIX 4.1.4
AIX C compiler version 1.3.0 on AIX 3.2.5
If you have this problem, please report the compiler/OS version.
(2) Stefan Esser (email@example.com), in work done to compile Python
1.0.0 on AIX 3.2.4, reports that AIX compilers don't like the LANG
environment varaiable set to European locales. This makes the compiler
generate floating point constants using "," as the decimal seperator,
which the assembler doesn't understand (or perhaps it is the other way
around, with the assembler expecting, but not getting "," in float
numbers). "LANG=C; export LANG" solves the problem, as does
"LANG=C $(MAKE) ..." in the master Makefile.
(3) The cc (or xlc) compiler considers "Python/ceval.c" too complex to
optimize, except when invoked with "-qmaxmem=4000"
(4) Some problems (due to _AIX not being #defined) when python 1.0.0 was
compiled using 'gcc -ansi' were reported by Stefan Esser, but were not
(5) The cc compiler has internal variables named "__abs" and "__div". These
names are reserved and may not be used as program variables in compiled
source. (As an anecdote in support of this, the implementation of
Python/operator.c had this problem in the 1.4 beta releases, and the
solution was to re#define some core-source variables having these names,
to give these python variables different names if the build is being done
on AIX.)
(6) As mentioned in the README, builds done immediately after previous builds
(without "make clean" or "make clobber") sometimes fail for mysterious
reasons. There are some unpredictable results when the configuration
is changed (that is, if you "configure" with different parameters) or if
intermediate changes are made to some files. Performing "make clean" or
"make clobber" resolves the problems.
As of AIX version 4, there are two (incompatible) types of pthreads on AIX:
a) AIX DCE pthreads (on AIX 3.2.5)
b) AIX 4 pthreads (on AIX 4.1 and up)
Support has been added to Python to handle the distinction.
The cc and gcc compilers do not initialize pthreads properly. The only
compilers that can initialize pthreads properly are IBM *_r* compilers,
which use the crt0_r.o module, and which invoke ld with the reentrant
version of libc (libc_r).
In order to enable thread support, follow these steps:
1. Uncomment the thread module in Modules/Setup
2. configure --without-gcc --with-thread ...
3. make CC="cc_r" OPT="-O -qmaxmem=4000"
For example, to make with both threads and readline, use:
./configure --without-gcc --with-thread --with-readline=/usr/local/lib
make CC=cc_r OPT="-O2 -qmaxmem=4000"
If the "make" which is used ignores the "CC=cc_r" directive, one could alias
the cc command to cc_r (for example, in C-shell, perform an "alias cc cc_r").
Vladimir Marangozov (email@example.com) provided this information,
and he reports that a cc_r build initializes threads properly and that all
demos on threads run okay with cc_r.
AIX shared library support was added to Python in the 1.4 release by Manus
Hand (email@example.com) and Vladimir Marangozov (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Python modules may now be built as shared libraries on AIX using the normal
process of uncommenting the "*shared*" line in Modules/Setup.in before the
AIX shared libraries require that an "export" and "import" file be provided
at compile time to list all extern symbols which may be shared between
modules. The "export" file (named python.exp) for the modules and the
libraries that belong to the Python core is created by the "makexp_aix"
script before performing the link of the python binary. It lists all global
symbols (exported during the link) of the modules and the libraries that
make up the python executable.
When shared library modules (.so files) are made, a second shell script
is invoked. This script is named "ld_so_aix" and is also provided with
the distribution in the Modules subdirectory. This script acts as an "ld"
wrapper which hides the explicit management of "export" and "import" files;
it adds the appropriate arguments (in the appropriate order) to the link
command that creates the shared module. Among other things, it specifies
that the "python.exp" file is an "import" file for the shared module.
At the time of this writing, neither the python.exp file nor the makexp_aix
or ld_so_aix scripts are installed by the make procedure, so you should
remember to keep these and/or copy them to a different location for
safekeeping if you wish to use them to add shared extension modules to
python. However, if the make process has been updated since this writing,
these files MAY have been installed for you during the make by the
LIBAINSTALL rule, in which case the need to make safe copies is obviated.
If you wish to add a shared extension module to the language, you would follow
the steps given in the example below (the example adds the shared extension
module "spam" to python):
1. Make sure that "ld_so_aix" and "makexp_aix" are in your path.
2. The "python.exp" file should be in the current directory.
3. Issue the following commands or include them in your Makefile:
cc -c spammodule.c
ld_so_aix cc spammodule.o -o spammodule.so
For more detailed information on the shared library support, examine the
contents of the "ld_so_aix" and "makexp_aix" scripts or refer to the AIX
NOTE: If the extension module is written in C++ and contains templates,
an alternative to "ld_so_aix" is the /usr/lpp/xlC/bin/makeC++SharedLib
script. Chris Myers (firstname.lastname@example.com) reports that ld_so_aix
works well for some C++ (including the C++ that is generated
automatically by the Python SWIG package [SWIG can be found at
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~beazley/SWIG/swig.html]). However, it is not
known whether makeC++SharedLib can be used as a complete substitute
for ld_so_aix.

Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Don't change your vacation plans. There will be no big change in school calendars in Virginia
The effort to repeal the so-called "Kings Dominion law" that prevents local schools from opening before Labor Day has died again. The State Senate Education and Health Committee killed the repeal of the law Thursday with a 9-6 vote.
A key vote against the law came from Sen. George Barker, D-Fairfax, who has expressed concern about the loss of sales tax revenue if the schools open before Labor Day. One percent of that sales tax money goes to schools across the state.
But Fairfax County School Board Chairwoman Jane Strauss says the decision not to repeal the law is frustrating.
"School calendars really should not be held hostage by the tourism industry" she says. "We have a tremendous need to rearrange our calendar to be more in sync with the rest of the nation."
Educators say starting after Labor Day puts their students at a disadvantage on national tests like the Advanced Placement exams.
Many school districts across the state have been able to obtain waivers to open early mostly because they are in areas that get more snow and they need the extra days to make up for snow days.
Strauss says they will try again next year to get the General Assembly to repeal the law.

A Fort Carson soldier accused of sex crimes against young girls was back in court Thursday.
The conversation in the courtroom centered around Aaron Lucas' bond.
Lucas faces multiple charges in two states, Colorado and Alabama. He is being held in Colorado without bond.
His attorney Thursday asked the court that he be issued a "reasonable" bond of $50,000, and be released until his preliminary hearing next Friday.
The prosecution disagreed, and said there is now new evidence from the kidnapping case in Alabama. The judge said the new evidence will be reviewed by the court, then the bond issue will be revisited at Lucas' next bond hearing on Jan. 18.
Lucas faces more than 23 charges, including sexual assault and kidnapping. He could spend more than 100 years in prison if found guilty.

The number is awfully small and at high times it's about 10 duels total which is still incredibly low. Right now there are 5 active duels (yes i just checked).
10 duels at any given time is VERY LITTLE. WAY TOO LITTLE. I hope you understand this and also take note of the fact that this is still an optimistic, it's usually even lower than that.
This means you need to do something immediately about it. Otherwise there is no reason to play. If you do play you will often get the same players over and over again and thus face the same strategies although there are hundreds of cards released.
Your errata as good or bad as it was didn't change the player count too much.

The Judiciary department has emphased that it is time the country embarked on alternative punishments for some offenders in a bid to reduce congestion in prisons.
According to various researches, in March 2012 there were 50,000 prisoners in Kenya who were under alternative sentences whereas in Tanzania it has showed that from 2005 to 2011,the number of prisoners who fell under the category were only 3014.
This was stated yesterday in Dar es Salaam by Dar es Salaam zone Resident Magistrate Semistocles Kaijage when opening a two-day training progamme for community services and probation orders for magistrates, which attracted over 62 participants.
"It is only a matter of implementing the law so that it can officially be used….this is why such training is beneficial in trying to know how important it is, "he said.
He said alternative punishment had many benefits including reduction of congestion in prisons, reduction of prison running costs, allowing the offender to rejoin the community and providing offenders the opportunity to repay the community by doing various development assignments.
"We have to do away with negative ideas that throwing someone into prison is the only option for him or her to learn and change from the mistakes they committed," he said.
he said there was a need to institute a programme to educate people on alternative punishment, starting with magistrates.
According to Kaijage, in recent years some people have viewed outside imprisonment was not a proper punishment for criminals and preferred jail sentences as the only suitable punishment.
He however pointed out that implementation of alternative punishment had some challenges that needed to be tackled, including sensitising the public on its usefulness.
"The use of alternative sentences to punish offenders is the only solution to reducing congestion in jails," he said.

90 points Wine Spectator: "Big, ripe, rich and tannic, packing in lots of currant, herb, cedar and spice notes and adding a toasty, smoky, woody overlay. An intense young wine that's firmer and more tannic than earlier Beringer Bancroft Merlots, but has a wonderful array of flavors." (08/93) According to Robert Parker: "Beringer continues to do everything right. Its staff of talented professionals may rank as the best in the business. Beringer's Merlot from the Bancroft Vineyard on Howell Mountain is one of the top three or four California Merlots. The dark ruby-colored 1990 Merlot-Bancroft Vineyard displays attractive spicy oak intermingled with scents of ripe red and black fruits, medium to full body, and a rich, sweet, long finish. It is less muscular than the nearly outstanding 1989." (10/93)

I have to say that everyone who I've spoken to at your business is incredibly cool. I've only ordered a few items, but I've been treated with the upmost patience when trying to come to a decision about various items. This should be noted because usually customer service reps aren't as gracious as your staff. I can say that both Theresa and Amber have been great.

Calcium reactors.
#1 Guest_lindsay_*
Posted 24 February 2012 - 12:02 AM
Posted 24 February 2012 - 12:27 AM
I run at a PH of 6.60, give or take a little which should allow fairly rapid dissolution of calcium without turning it to mush.
Ive run reef bones in the past, but find them lacking in surface area and i'm currently running with 5mm aragonite gravel which works much better for me.
One thing I do intend to change however is to feed the output into a Phosphate reactor before feeding the effluent to the tank.
I know there are some that will say that the amount of phosphate released isnt that great in the grand scheme of things, and I would have agreed a couple of years ago, but now that I am more aware of balancing nutrient inputs, and balanced removal, I dont want anything that adds Phosphates without adding any attendant Nitrates, as it will lead to a longer term imbalance in the system.

We have debated the co2 bubbles in the shops reactor many times Tony,and i have to say i do enjoy the debate lol,but i cant debate it at this present time because up to now i have always used fire extinguishers which i have suspected to be part of the reason for the bubbles,will debate the bubbles at a later date lol.
How is that new reactor of yours doing m8?.
Posted 25 February 2012 - 11:18 AM
Posted 25 February 2012 - 12:57 PM
Co2 is extremely soluble in water, and carbonic acid is very reactive with Aragonite, so, if you are set up correctly, the Co2 should dissolve almost instantly. The problem should only arise when either the media is too hard to dissolve quickly or the reactor is being run beyond what it is capable of producing. That is of course, providing you are only pumping Co2 into the reactor and not a Co2/air mix from a fire extinguisher.
Posted 25 February 2012 - 01:10 PM
Fitted a co2 bottle from BOC today so will see if this works better than the Fire extinguishers co2,i suspect it will.I can see where you are coming from with the phosphates from a reactor but if running very slow effluent speeds do you think it will become a problem?,have you tested the nitrate level from the effluent to see if that is also elevated?.I have thought about putting the effluent from the reactor though some phosphate media in the past but because of the amount of debris in the effluent decided against it because it would clog the phosphate media,this may not be the case at slower effluent speeds though.

You will love the new bottle. I just need to convince you to use a smaller grade media now, and all the debating will be over.
I wouldnt expect to see any nitrates in the media, or at least none of any significance. Phosphates are bound to Calcium Carbonate (Tricalcium Phosphate possibly), which always makes me laugh when people try to wash it out. In Fact, you can buy Calcium Carbonate tablets to take as a method of increasing your bodily Phosphorous levels. The Phosphate is only released when the calcium is dissolved, but i'm not sure what form it takes, but its deffo readable and can build up if Nitrates are not present to mop em up.

The idea of a finer media is a little harder to change,our home made reactor has a eheim 1260 on it so i would have thought a fine media would do two things,1 it would slow down the turnover within the reactor which would also hamper the venturi system for the co2 recirc,2 its likely the media would also get around the rector to the pump because of its narrow design,i think these are the reasons Schuran advise a media size of around 10mm,or bigger.
Still not going to debate the bubbles Tony,will get to this later lol.

Ok you win Tony,before building a bigger reactor i will try the smaller media size idea,8mm to 12mm and see how it goes.
you know it makes sense.

Tank thread
#13 Guest_lindsay_*
Posted 05 April 2012 - 12:09 PM
Yeah i like the larger reef bones but i am getting better readings from the smaller 8mm to 10mm media at a higher ph of 6.62 instead of the lower readings at a lower ph of 6.20 with the bigger media.I should be ok when it comes to clumping at the bottom because we have good flow through it with the eheim 1260 but will keep an eye on it to see how it goes over time.
I went the other way - from smaller media (ARM) to larger reef bones type stuff. I found that the smaller media tended to clump at the bottom of the chamber though you could run the smaller stuff at a higher ph - 6.6 IIRC. Bad reactor design perhaps but have been happy with the larger stuff for a while.
I use fire extinguishers so curious about why you both think they're not as good as BOC?
The boc gas is much better as i found the fire extinguishers to have a fair bit of o2 in them that becomes a problem when running at a fast speed,possibly less of a problem if running at a slower speed,i think the o2 gets in when they are being filled unlike boc who try to make sure the bottle has mostly co2 in it,that said if you are finding the extinguishers ok then there is no need to look to change unless the reactor gasses up.

Mine is the 51 rpm model with 5mm tube fitted. I use it for the auto top-up ( about 2 yrs old )
You also need the enclosure which is part number 110-1824 but not available at the moment (best ring and ask them).

The biggest problem for me, is that they are fixed speed. This means that you cannot match your fluid flow to your gas flow. This impacts on PH within the reactor, which for me, is the the most important thing to keep stable and all adjustments should be made around that fact, and not the reverse.
Posted 09 April 2012 - 08:31 AM
1) Flow through the reactor
2) CO2 addition, and
3) pH within the reactor, media dependant
If you keep one of the three at a constant level, then you can vary the other two to give you the required dkH and Ca support for your tank.
So does it really matter which one you keep constant?
Besides, with the various designs of reactor available, it is possible to use one which will supply 150ml a minute at 20 dkH, or another which will supply 40ml a minute at 40 dkH.
Both will achieve similar results.

Ph determines the way that your media dissolves. it determines the rate of melt and the balance between carbonate and bicarbonate production. therefore, there is a known optimal level at which a reactor should run. this is generally accepted as being around 6.5-6.7 PH. if you media melts at a lower level than this, then you are producing too much bicarbonate which when entering the higher PH of the tank will turn itself back to carbonate and release CO2 in doing so. this happens at all ph's in a reactor, but is unnecessarily exaggerated at lower PH's.
The amount of CO2 entering a reactor directly determines the amount of calcium produced and should be adjusted when more or less calcium is required.
Bearing the above in mind, you need to adjust your CO2 to produce the amount of calcium produced but keep the PH at its optimal value, and the only way to do this is by adjusting the water flow.
finally, if your media doesn't melt fast enough within the PH range mentioned, then you have too little media, too large a media or a mined media that has hardened do to the crystal structure being altered (usually a greyish colour).
Sadly, in this hobby, many people seem to think that success with a Calcium reactor is determined by the amount of dkh you can squeeze out of it and people even boast about how low they can run their PH or how much dkh comes out of it.
20 dkh at 100ml or 40 dkh at 50......which is best?
Posted 09 April 2012 - 03:46 PM
I'm using branch media and have to push the pH down to 6.35 to get a reasonable (25dkH) from the reactor at around 130ml per minute.
Reactor is run for around 12 hours a day (during the lit period).
This gives me a reasonably stable tank at 400ppm Ca, and 9.0 dkH.
Tank ph sits around 8.2

So,.... are you telling me that I have the wrong media in my reactor?

well, it depends on how you look at it. If you only buffer using calcium, then your dkh/calcium should be roughly in balance, although it will depend on your background CO2 levels in the room, so its not a good measure apart from the fact that you are maintaining your levels using your current reactor.
The fact that you can do it using reef bones simply demonstrates that you have a reactor that has spare capacity available and can handle a media that has a lower than usual surface area given that you drive the ph low enough.
On the downside however, driving the reactor at a lower PH means that you are using more CO2 by pumping lower PH water into the tank and by producing higher levels of bicarbonate which will revert to carbonates at the higher PH of the tank, releasing CO2. (CaC03= CaCo + CO2).
So, in answer to the question "am I using the wrong media", IMO, yes, because you can produce the same amount of Calcium at a higher PH and thus reduce the amount of CO2 wasted and reduce the stress on the buffering system.

Hi, why do you need Wireless communication through a 30 foot transducer cable if is wireless? would you need to put the cable in the water to be able to speak to the divers?
Is it compatiable with Ocean Reef Neptune Space G. Divers Series Full Face Mask Kit..? can i use it with Ocean Reef Neptune Space G. Divers Series Full Face Mask Kit..?
Hello Vinu, yes this would work on the G-diver FFM as long as they have the Ocean Reef comm units: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-168/131893/Ocean-Reef-GSM-G.divers-Wireless-Diver-Communication-Unit.html or this one: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-168/027690/Ocean-Reef-GSM-Dual-Channel-Communication-Unit.html.
Do you offer noise-cancelling headphones with this unit? If not, could it be retrofited with different headphones?
M100 G-DIVERS transceiver portable surface unit
1. Technical characteristics
Main parts of the unit are:
Battery housing: inside the battery housing there is a label with the serial
number and the polarity to insert the battery. Battery should be a 9volt
alkaline one, rechargeable batteries will last shorter. The autonomy with
the alkaline battery (receiving mode) is around 30 hours with 30 minutes of
low battery alarm (one "beep" every 30 seconds)starting when voltage
goes below 6.8volt.
Antenna: It consist of a 10 meter cable directly connected to the main
unit, at the bottom end there is the ceramic antenna, made to transmit
and receive ultrasound to a frequency of 32.768 kHz.
PTT button: it is a magnetic one, positioned right below the headset
connector on the main unit
Headset and microphone assembly with adjustable volume.
Metal clip to attach the unit to the belt of the operator.
8 Pin plug to connect the headset with microphone.G.divers Communications unit manual rel.1.3 September 2010 17
2. Attaching the surface unit to the belt
The M100 G.divers is designed to comfortable and easy to use. The main unit can be
clipped to a belt or jacket, giving the operator an increased range of motion from other
surface units.
3. Checking before use
Once the battery has been installed and you have checked that the cap and cover have
been closed properly, insert the headset with microphone in the plug on the main unit,
the M100 G.divers will turn on automatically. You will hear a "beep" indicating
Run a finger along the black cylinder at the bottom side of the antenna. You will hear a
"zzzzzz" type sound coming from the speaker.
Try to bring the antenna transducer near the antenna on a M101A G.divers unit, or the
antenna on a GSM G-Divers unit (about 5 cm / 2 inches). You should also be able to hear
the communication when the unit is not immersed in water.
If you hear a repeated "beep" (about every 30 seconds) this means that the battery is
running low. Change it.
4. Basic Instructions for communicate with divers underwater
The following is the recommended operating procedure:
Ensure the battery is properly installed with the correct polarity.
Close the battery compartment. You can use some grease to make this
operation easier.
Attach the main unit to a secure place on your person such as a belt.
Lower the transducer into the water. If you are on a boat, lower the
transducer until it clears the hull. Under non circumstances should the
transducer lie on the sea floor, this will reduce the signal strength and
Connect the headset to the main unit, the unit turns on automatically upon
The unit is now in the receiving mode. To send a message push and hold
the PTT button located on the main unit. After a short "beep" you may
begin speaking. When you release the button, the unit will return to
receive mode.
To improve the communication quality set the antenna the near as possible
to diver's depth.
It is important that the transducer does not lay on the bottom
When speaking to divers, keep in mind that they have a lot of things going
on while underwater. It is better to have divers attention before starting
the communication.
Talk slowly and clearly
Do not make long sentences.
A good exercise is to make them repeat what they understood.
Do not get the headset wet
Do not put the unit underwater, it will not function as an underwater unit
Do not attempt to keep the PTT button permanently depressed! You will not be
able to receive messages from the divers and you may damage the unit.
