4. The Top Courts.

Author

WILSON, EARL

Subjects
*TENNIS courts, *PARKS, *U.S. Open (Tennis tournament)
Abstract

The city is the home of the United States Open, but also 595 public tennis courts that daily attract players of all ages and skills. Some favorites: FORT GREENE PARK, BROOKLYN Not only is it the prettiest park in New York City, but the courts are also on top of a hill; you can see a beautiful sunrise. In fact, early morning is the best time to play because you get more court time. Actors and celebrities have been sighted playing. I shed a lot of blood and tears on these courts.

5. Courts, Characters And a Love Of a Game.

Author

WILSON, EARL

Subjects
*TENNIS courts, *TENNIS, *PARKS
Abstract

The United States Open starts on Monday, beginning two weeks of elite tennis, expensive eating and celebrity sightings. The rest of the year, though, another kind of tennis tournament unspools in New York's public parks -- a less structured, less moneyed daily draw that pulls people of all ages and skills onto all or some of the 595 public courts in the five boroughs. Earl Wilson has hit on many of those courts for more than 35 years, refining his ground strokes, running down drop shots and taking his lumps, all the while cataloging his finest moments and the most dubious of court characters. What appears below is some reminiscing, a mix of romance and regret. FINDING A GAME [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The 24 September 2013 M w 7.7 Balochistan, Pakistan earthquake ruptured a ~ 200 km-long stretch of the Hoshab fault in southern Pakistan and produced the second-largest lateral surface displacement observed for a continental strike-slip earthquake. We remotely measured surface deformation associated with this event using high-resolution (0.5 m) pre- and post-event satellite optical imagery. We document left lateral, near-field, on-fault offsets (10 m from fault) using 309 laterally offset piercing points, such as streams, terrace risers, and roads. Peak near-field displacement is 13.6 + 2.5 / − 3.4 m. We characterize off-fault deformation by measuring medium- (< 350 m from fault) and far-field (> 350 m from fault) displacement using manual (259 measurements) and automated image cross-correlation methods, respectively. Off-fault peak lateral displacement values are ~ 15 m and exceed on-fault displacement magnitudes for ~ 85% of the rupture length. Our observations suggest that for this rupture, coseismic surface displacement typically increases with distance away from the surface trace of the fault; however, nearly 100% of total surface displacement occurs within a few hundred meters of the primary fault trace. Furthermore, off-fault displacement accounts for, on average, 28% of the total displacement but exhibits a highly heterogeneous along-strike pattern. The best agreement between near-field and far-field displacements generally corresponds to the narrowest fault zone widths. Our analysis demonstrates significant and heterogeneous mismatches between on- and off-fault coseismic deformation, and we conclude that this phenomenon should be considered in hazard models based on geologically determined on-fault slip rates.
