Although medium-class flood disturbance is highly correlated with diversity of vegetated area of river habitat, it is still not clearly defined due to its complexity. To describe flood disturbance characteristics, two indices, breakage or overturning index and washout index, are used to express the breaking condition of trees and washout condition of trees and grasses. The relationship between diversity index of vegetated area (DI), calculated using vegetation species maps, and flood disturbance index (I i ), which represents the expected value of different flood disturbances, was investigated on four gravel bars in the Karasugawa River, Japan. The flood disturbance indices in Region A (high possibility to be a forest) and Region E (high possibility to be a bare area, as defined in this study) are identified as indicators for medium-class flood disturbance in this study. Moreover, this study confirms the results of previous studies on the Arakawa and Tamagawa Rivers, Japan, and their applicability to other rivers. In addition, the relationship between flood disturbance and DI in Region A or E explains the effect of flow regulation by construction of dams and weirs in river upstream on the downstream river habitat. Furthermore, based on the observed data and calculated results related to the possibility of vegetation and bare area on gravel bars in all investigated rivers, a range of flood return periods for medium-class flood disturbance for habitats on gravel bars was defined as 3–12.5 years, where the lower and upper values are related to the possibility of the presence of vegetation and the possibility of being a bare area, respectively.

Nicol David (left) beat England's Emma Beddoes 11-9, 11-5, 11-8 in the opening round of the Women's World Squash Championship.
GEORGE TOWN: World No. 1 Nicol David received a good workout in her 36-minute 11-9, 11-5, 11-8 win over England's Emma Beddoes in the opening round of the 29th Women's World Squash Championship at the SPICE Arena.
The seven-time world champion got off to a sluggish start as she trailed Beddoes 1-5 in the opening game. But Nicol tightened her game to catch up at 5-5.
Both players traded points until 9-9 before the Malaysian stepped up a gear to wrap it up.
Nicol was in a class of her own in the second game as she romped to an 11-5 win before Beddoes could settle down.
The English player, who lifted the Penang Women's Open title last year, put up better resistance in the third game as she matched the top seed point for point before Nicol again pulled away at the tail-end to book her place in the last 16.
"The first round is always about getting in the groove and I'm satisfied with my performance today," said Nicol.
"Emma did not do anything wrong today and put up a good performance. It was close, especially in the first and third games, and I needed to tighten my game at the right moments to secure the win."
Nicol will face Egypt's Heba El Torky, who stunned 11th seed Annie Au of Hong Kong 13-11, 4-11, 11-7, 11-8, in the second round on Thursday.
The world No. 31 Heba is one of three Egyptian players who moved into the last 16 from the top half of the draw.
"Heba is one of the talented players from the younger generation who have improved a lot. Although I have not played her before, her win over Annie today proves that she will be a tough opponent.
"Everyone playing in the main draw is a strong competitor. If I'm having an off day, they will turn the heat on me," said Nicol.
The world No. 1 was also grateful to the almost 2,000-strong crowd who had come to support her in the opening round match.
"The crowd was amazing today ... I'm pleased to win for them. I'm always happy to be playing in front of my home fans."
Nicol is gunning for her eighth world crown in Penang after successes in 2005-06 and 2008-12.

PDBF team bags silver in Hungary world meet
THE COBRA Philippine Dragon Boat Federation team snared a silver in the standard 500-meter mixed competitions Friday for its first podium finish in the IDBF World Championships in Szeged, Hungary.
The PDBF paddlers finished behind China, clocking one minute, 57.37 seconds to the 1:56.73 of the winner. Canada wound up third (1:57.55).
The United States (1:58.77), Australia (1:59.42) and Czech Republic (1:59.93) finished fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively.
PDBF president Marcia Cristobal said the PH paddlers have slowly adjusted to the eight-hour time difference and the overall conditions in Europe.
The country missed the top three Thursday in the 1000m races, placing fourth behind Germany, Czech Republic and the United States in the men's standard, and behind USA, Canada and China in the mixed standard.
The PH paddlers, whose forte is the short distances, hope to finally nail their first gold in the 200m races on Saturday.
They will also see action in the small boat competitions—where they snared five gold medals two years ago in Tampa Bay, Florida—but only in the women's category.

The City Council held a special meeting on Thursday Night to formalize an addition to what City Engineer Kevin Farrington refers to as the Margaret Street Diet near Georgia Pacific.. In the next month or so, Margaret Street from just before McDonalds to Georgia Pacific will become a two lane road with a center turning lane. In order to accomplish this, Farrington says, they've made use of the CHIPS Money to add re-pavement of the road surface to the mix.. "This project fits the CHIPS requirements perfectly and will allow us to extend the life of the pavement by another 15 years by only spending $10 per yard," Kevin Says, "rather than $200 per yard."
AUDIO – 072514 – Margaret Street Paving Work Order
By doing that now, Farrington says, the city will be able to extend the useful life of the pavement by about 15 years.. whereas if they wait too long, the road surface would become a candidate for the more expensive full reconstruction.. One other reason for adding pavement to the project is specifically for safety.. "If we just mill the road in front of Georgia Pacific, there could be some confusion as to the overal purpose and people may not be as aware of the new striping, but with new pavement, the striping will stick out even more and clearly define the new traffic patterns."
One of the questions brought by a resident in the area during Thursday's meeting was specific to getting out of driveways into the new flow of traffic.. Farrington says that's exactly why they did the study, to examine whether or not a change in the traffic pattern would have a detrimental affect on driveways and other entrances onto the road. "With the traffic lights, you get this phenomenon called 'Platooning' such that when the light turns red there is a gap to allow side traffic to get out onto the street.. Generally there are gaps from green light to red light in order for people to get out into traffic."

What's the difference? Help route planning.
I am leaving the San Juan's for northern waters next week. I've got all sorts of books but can't really decide on where to go. It all seems the same so I'm having trouble choosing.
I like the San Juan's. I like pretty much everywhere ive been. I know I'm going to desolation sound. But from there where. And where along the way. I've gotten advice in the past and appreciate that so I thought one more time now that I am more familiar with the area and names mean something and the fact that I'm heading north and will be out of cell and Internet service I figured to get this done now.
I intend to blow through the gulf islands as a way to get to Vancouver ASAP. Vancouver sounds totally kick ass so information on anchoring in false creek would be good. Safety of my boat and dinghy while I go ashore...
From there I am going up the Sunshine Coast which had better live up to its name, probably bypassing princess Louisa for lack of good sailing and to DS. I haven't decided were to stop along the way. I am an insanely slow sailor so far. Maybe because I insist on sailing if I can and motoring if I can't but a big day for me is 40-50 miles. If I had perfect coditions I could do more but I still have other duties like cooking and cleaning and it takes me a terribly long time to get up and ready so...
Desolation sounds great and I predict a good end of June and better July weather wise. After a tough cloudy may, June has been good and getting better. I might stay there for a while and head back or I might get adventurous and keep going.
This is where it gets confusing. I dont think alot of you understand, but for a person not from here it all sounds the same. Take the San Juan's, gulf, DS and broughton's. Whats the difference? Same weather, the pictures all look about the same and they all have some but not many towns. So how do I know I want to go to the broughton's? Up until comin here I thought everything north of Vancouver was just empty but now that I'm here There's actually stuff everywhere. Nanaimo? What's that? Who's heard of nanaimo? But I think it's like a mini city. Comox? Who knows? Might not want to miss it, or it could be nothing. There's too much to choose. That's what I'm saying. I could be happy spending the whole summer in The San Juan's. but I don't want to miss other stuff. Maybe ill like it more.
I'd also like to say that I do like nature, but am not a dedicated mountain man, so while I don't like to drink or party, I like to mix up nature anchorages with vacaion type places like Friday harbor and would avoid "real" places like logging towns and utilitarian stops. How I imagine port Angeles is. But I also don't like single private places where its just a resort like just a private resort or marina in the middle of nowhere.
And don't hesitate to say where you didn't like. From the people I've talked to noone has anything bad to say about anywhere so their advice has almost lost meaning. Good can only be good if there is a basis of comparison. So for someplace to be good someplace has to be bad. Where should I not go.

Sony comes out with improved version of video surveillance system
HYDERABAD: In the backdrop of the increased threat perception following the recent terror strikes, installation of surveillance cameras at all public and private places has become the need of the hour.
Demo organised
While the Hyderabad police introduced Internet Protocol (IP) based video surveillance system five years ago, noted company Sony has come out with an improved version of it that helps view objects 15 km away and beyond.
The company organised a live demonstration of its Wide Area Monitoring (WAM) by affixing four cameras atop the Cyber Towers in Hi Tec City, Madhapur, on Tuesday. The uniqueness of the system is its capability to view images during the night and the face of a person or number of a vehicle as far as six km. The cameras also help to view and record images till a distance of 15 km. "But beyond six kilometres, it would be difficult to clearly see the face of a person. But you can clearly ascertain if the image being shown is a vehicle or a person," the company executive S. Ali Ahmed told reporters. The system consists of two high definition cameras. Of these, one camera can be used to get 270 degrees panoramic view. The second one will work as zoom camera that can focus on specified location or object within that wide area.
The other two are thermal cameras that help to view and record images during the night. Even if it is pitch dark, one can make out if the object being viewed is a vehicle or a living thing using the thermal cameras. Like the video surveillance system installed on Necklace road by the Hyderabad police, this system too uses the IP-based connectivity.
But the quality of video images is far superior. While the cameras fixed on the Necklace road help zoom on objects upto a kilometre, the upgraded version helps sight objects far away.

Rolls-Royce and the European Aviation Safety Agency believe an oil leak caused an uncontained engine failure on an Airbus A380 last week, and new inspections of the Trent 900 engine have been ordered. EASA says engine parts and performance should be checked after every flight, a requirement that could force airlines to adjust schedules to allow for more time between flights. On Wednesday, Singapore Airlines removed three of its A380s from service to replace suspect engines, and Qantas continues to keep its entire fleet grounded, though service could resume quickly now that regulators and the engine's manufacturer have reached a consensus on the cause of the malfunction.

9 climbers killed, 6 missing in Nepal avalanche
More News from Binaj Gurubachary
More News from Associated Press
KATMANDU, Nepal – An avalanche hit climbers on a high Himalayan peak in Nepal on Sunday, leaving at least nine dead and six others missing, officials said. Many of the climbers were French or German.
Police official Basanta Bahadur Kuwar said the bodies of a Nepalese guide and a German man were recovered and that rescue pilots had spotted seven other bodies on the slopes of Mount Manaslu in northern Nepal, the eighth highest mountain in the world.
In Madrid, Spain's Foreign Ministry said one of those killed was Spanish, but did not release the person's identity.
The identities of the other victims were still being confirmed.
Ten other climbers survived the avalanche but many were injured and were flown to hospitals by rescue helicopters, Kuwar said.
Rescue pilot Pasang, who uses only one name, said three injured French citizens and two Germans had been transported to hospitals in Katmandu.
He said rescuers were also attempting to bring the bodies of the dead back to the base camp.
Weather conditions were deteriorating and it was not possible to continue air searches of the mountain Sunday afternoon, Kuwar said.
The avalanche hit the climbers at a camp at 7,000 meters (22,960 feet) early in the morning as they were preparing to head toward the summit, which is 8,156 meters (26,760 feet) high.
There were Italian, German and French teams on the mountain, with a total of 231 climbers and guides, but not all were at the higher camps, officials said.
It is currently the beginning of Nepal's autumn mountaineering season. The autumn season comes right after the end of the monsoon rains, which make weather conditions unpredictable, and is not as popular among mountaineers as the spring season, when hundreds of climbers crowd the high Himalayan peaks.
Officials were investigating the cause of Sunday's avalanche.
Nepal has eight of the 14 highest peaks in the world. Climbers have complained in recent years that climbing conditions have deteriorated and risks of accidents have increased.
Veteran mountain guide Apa, who has climbed Mount Everest a record 21 times, traveled for months across Nepal earlier this year campaigning about the effects of global warming on the mountain peaks.
He told The Associated Press the mountains now have considerably less ice and snow, making it harder for climbers to use ice axes and crampons on their boots to get a grip on the slopes.
Loose snow also increases the risk of avalanches.
Bill Amos, of Portland, Oregon, an avid mountaineer and ice climber who founded the mountaineering apparel company NW Alpine, said "it's super sad when our fellow climbers die."
Amos said his initial thought when he heard about the deadly avalanche in Nepal was that the mountain was being overcrowded with climbers.
"That seems to be the same thing that's going on in Everest," he said. "All of that is overcrowding and these commercial expeditions trying to make money."
Amos added that people who venture into the mountains need to understand the risks and dangers associated with backcountry travel and be able to spot avalanche terrain and dangerous snowpack.

David Ferrer is NOT mentally tough as people think he is.
Serena Williams coach Patrick mouratoglou is correct about David Ferrer his problem when he loses to the top 4 is mentality. People go on and on about David Ferrer's size yes he's a small guy compared to those giants in the top 4. But Ferrer has also shown despite being five foot nine he has gotten VERY CLOSE to knocking off the top 4 in ATP Finals. However, it is shocking that Ferrer doesn't believe in his abilities despite being number five in the world.
I've never seen a top five player so mentally fragile like David Ferrer. It is all between the ears for Ferrer I believe Mouratoglou is right he psyches himself out which is such a shame.
Ferrer doesn't BELIEVE in himself he's too modest especially when he faces Nadal. In the Barcelona final last year Ferrer had so many chances to beat Nadal but he just chokes. At the Italian Open semifinals last year Ferrer had a chance to win the match again he finds a way to lose.
It is like Ferrer confidence is so low against the top 4 it is a self fulfilling prophecy he already LOST the match prior to going on the court.
Yes, I know Ferrer is only five foot nine and he lacks the power of the top 4 but he's played some tight matches against them and he usually loses.
I think the issue with Ferrer is he gets tight and he chokes when it matters the most. Today, Ferrer had a huge opportunity which I think for him could have been a psychological breakthrough but once again he finds a way to lose.
Honestly, I thought today Ferrer would have his breakthrough up a set serving to go 5-4 in the second set he capitulates gets tight and ultimately loses a tight match. Ferrer is not as mentally tough as people make him seem to be.
Obviously Ferrer is a very strong player and very consistent but he is not mentally strong. Andy Murray did not play great today but he did not need to because Ferrer doesn't have that killer instinct he didn't go for the kill
Since Ferrer is over 30 and he's turning 31 next week I doubt he's ever going to win a grand slam which is such a shame.
He has an inferiority complex against the top 4, that's for sure. Against everyone else he is mentally rock solid because he feels on even ground with them.
Ferrer is 0-13 in Finals vs Top 5 players. That says it all.
Ferrer is very strong (mentally also) against player outside the top-4.
Against the top-4 players, he almost always finds a way to lose, even in matches where he is ahead and playing well.
He has said more than once that he thinks he doesn't belong there ( in the top-5 ), he seems to think he is not a great tennis player, but a great worker, and I think it really hampers his chances against the top-4.
Sometimes you need to think you belong there, that "you are great" (even if it sounds a bit d-bag), because it can help you against the very top-players.
he panicked a bit on match point...should have just played the ball and see if murray botched it
Something similar (but to a way lesser degree) thinks about Nadal and Djokovic (and even Murray).
It is the opposite of what Djokovic showed back in 2007 (he was SO SURE of himself as the next nº1 player in the world).
we shouldn't be lumping murray in with the other three.
it's not the same thing.
The sad thing about Ferrer is it isn't like he's losing all the matches against the top 4 by blow outs. Ferrer has had his chances but he CHOKES mentally like he did again today. Very sad indeed.
His bigger limitation is that he has no serve.
Yeah, agree there is a mental block for Ferrer. Murray also seem to have mental issues!
I actually agree. He is mentally quite weak in addition to having no more than a generic solid and good game. This match was a bigger extreme of the 2011 Australian Open semis where Murray was also way below par and Ferrer missed set points to go up 2 sets to 0 and fell easily after that. His absolute pathetic efforts against Federer on any surface and against Nadal on clay also speak to this. His mental game is WAY overrated, it is overrated mostly since people think he has to have something as even his tennis game isnt all that great. What he mostly has is consistency, willingness to try in every match against someone not ranked in the top 5 only, and fitness, not much else. This makes the always braindead TMFs claims that Ferrer is a better player than the Michael Chang and Lleyton Hewitt all the more embarassing.
He always openly admits he doesn't deserve to be ranked alongside the top 4, and this sort of attitude is precisely why he has a ghastly record against them. He just knows he can't beat them.
He´s a modern Harold Solomon with a bit more of power.
PEDS can only get you so far.
Here's the thing. If Murray actually turned up and played well, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Ferrer played his normal boring game while Murray was self destructing 9/10 times.
His loss today wasn't his fault. Murray put him in that winning position.
Dudes he was cramping in the tie break.
Stop comparing Ferrer with the top 4.
Murray is closer to Ferrer and Del Potro than with Fed, Rafa and Novak.
Ferrer also has a pretty decent record with Murray.

Final Score: Kent State 35, Akron 3
Akron, OH (Sports Network) - Tailback Trayion Durham rushed for 107 yards and
two touchdowns, leading the Kent State Golden Flashes to a 35-3 drubbing of
the Akron Zips in Mid-American Conference action at InfoCision Stadium and in
the process regaining the Wagon Wheel Trophy.
Kent State (4-6, 3-3 MAC) churned out 384 yards of total offense, including an
impressive 265 yards rushing, helping the Golden Flashes dominate the time of
possession. 35:19-to-23:38. Quarterback Spencer Keith didn't need to do much
throwing the football, completing just 11-of-16 passes, for 115 yards and two
Akron (1-9, 0-6) remained winless in Mid-American Conference action as the
Zips struggled on both sides of the football. Akron managed just 223 yards of
total offense, including an anemic 58 yards on the ground. Quarterback Clayton
Moore completed 18-of-33 passes, for just 155 yards in the setback. His
favorite target was Antoine Russell, who finished with eight catches, for 91
The Golden Flashes took the opening kickoff 70 yards in five plays, scoring
first on a 30-yard TD pass from Spencer Keith to Chris Gilbert, but the team
failed on the point-extra attempt, leaving the score at 6-0.
The Zips cut that lead in half at the 5:08 mark of the first quarter on a 42-
yard field goal by A.J. Fox.
Kent State extended the lead back to six points with a 46-yard field goal by
Freddy Cortez lat in the second quarter and took a 9-3 advantage into
It was all KSU the rest of the way, as the Golden Flashes blew the game open
with three third-quarter touchdowns. The first was a one-yard TD run by
Durham at the 9:47 mark of the third quarter. The second came on a six-yard TD
pass from Keith to Tim Erjavc and the third was another one-yard plunge from
Durham with under 20 seconds left in the frame. The Golden Flashes were once
again unable to convert an extra point on the last score, ending three
quarters of play with a 29-3 advantage.
Kent State made it 35-3 early in the fourth quarter with an 11-yard TD run by
Jacquise Terry, but once again, the team failed to convert an extra point,
closing out the scoring for the afternoon and giving Kent State its third
straight win.

Christianity: Pentecostalism
Pentecostals are Christians who believe in an experience called "baptism with the Holy Spirit." This form of baptism refers to the descent of the Holy Spirit upon a person, allowing the person to speak in tongues and to manifest other spiritual gifts. It is mentioned several times in the New Testament, including the following passage from Matthew 3:11: "I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire." The name Pentecostalism comes from the Pentecost, which is the day, discussed in the Acts of the Apostles, when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus' apostles.
Pentecostalism began in the United States in January 1901, when Charles Fox Parham, an independent Holiness evangelist in eastern Kansas, preached that speaking in tongues was the...

"I would say it this way: Our interest in the Big East is very, very strong," Hirshman said. "We think it brings critical exposure to our program. It obviously brings revenue opportunities, and so we would still be considering that as an approach to pursue."
Hirshman also said he believes the Big East still would be interested in SDSU without Boise because the league wants a "national" format with a foothold in California's TV and recruiting markets.
A Big East spokesman said the league has received no indication Boise is not joining the league.
In the meantime, Hirshman is working to make sure it never becomes an issue. After deciding to place its non-football sports in the Big West, SDSU now is pushing that league to add Boise, too.
Boise had planned to place their non-football sports in the Western Athletic Conference, but that league doesn't appear stable after several more members decided to leave for greener pastures. By rule, the Mountain West doesn't allow non-football members, so that's not an option.
That leaves the Big West, which will consider adding Boise, thanks in part to Hirshman's promotion. Expansion still would require approval by eight of the league's 10 members. Besides SDSU, it's not clear how many other Big West members want Boise.
"I wouldn't view us necessarily as a sole advocate (on Boise's behalf in the Big West)," Hirshman said. "It's really that we're discussing some of their prospects. I view them very positively and we'll work with the other presidents to see this through."
Big West Commissioner Dennis Farrell told U-T San Diego that the league's decision to consider Boise is "the first step on what could be a very long road."
•Why the Big East move is important for SDSU. SDSU's athletics budget in recent years has been around $32 million, with nearly half of its revenues coming from state funds, university allocations and student fees. But that "revenue" will go down with more state budget cuts on the way. Starting in 2009, SDSU athletics had to eliminate 25 full-time and 12 part-time positions because of budget shortfalls.
Hirshman said SDSU needs the Big East money to offset state cuts and to reinvest in the future of the athletic department.
"With the reductions in the budget from the state of California, the actual state appropriations that the athletic program receives have been diminishing dramatically," Hirshman said. "That is another area where the department is going to have find revenues to support those costs."
SDSU is banking on the Big East to provide it.
"We think there's great value in a national conference," Hirshman said. "We're very, very positive about the Big East."

What are coronary arteries?
Coronary arteries are blood vessels that feed oxygen-rich blood to
your heart muscle.
The heart works hard to pump blood to the entire body, and it needs
its own supply of blood to get the job done. Having an adequate supply of blood
is important because, like the rest of your body, the heart muscle needs oxygen
to stay healthy. Blood absorbs oxygen from the lungs every time you breathe,
and then the heart pumps the oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. The heart
pumps some of that oxygen-rich blood through the coronary arteries back to its
own muscle.
How does atherosclerosis affect my coronary arteries?
When the heart muscle has to work harder, such as during exercise, it
requires more oxygen. To meet this demand, the coronary arteries expand
(dilate), increasing blood flow and oxygen to the heart.
In coronary artery disease (CAD), plaque builds up (atherosclerosis)
on the inside walls of the coronary arteries. Plaque is made up largely of
cholesterol and other fats. People who smoke or have diabetes, high
cholesterol, or high blood pressure tend to build up more plaque than those who
do not have these risk factors. Over time, the plaque buildup on the inside of
the walls narrows the stream of blood and can restrict the artery's ability to
When the coronary arteries become narrowed by atherosclerosis, the
heart can no longer regulate the amount of blood flow that it receives. The
heart muscle may be able to get enough oxygen while you are at rest, but it may
not be able to keep up with increased oxygen demands during exercise. As a
result, the heart does not get enough oxygen, which often causes chest pain

There's only one way sailors attached netting--that's with lashing. Th eonly thing I could come up with on the web is:
Tying a Parcel
showing what they call a "parcel knot" composed of two other knots. But if you watch the animation slowly--you can see how this knot can be tied, and then the free end of the line extended another few inches down a rail, etc., and another knot made, continuing on down a rail.
I can't remember what the proper name of the marine version is, but it also makes a damn handy way to secure the mainsail to the boom when a squall is about to hit. You basically knot, move down two feet, knot again, and there's very little fuss or passing through at each "knot".
Anybody with a better memory know the proper name for what I'm thinking of here?? All my knot-sense is in my hands, they don't ask my head to get involved in it.
