UNH scientist uses NASA satellites to find explosive growth in height of Earth cities
As the world's population grows, cities are expanding both upwards and outwards. That's according to scientists who are the first to use remote-sensing data to look at changes in the vertical structure of cities. "Almost all previous studies have focused on how cities are expanding outwards, mostly because other sources of remote-sensing data are not able to capture the vertical and volume dimensions of urban growth," Steve Frolking from the University of New Hampshire

An extremely green project wins a prize
Published: Monday, November 4, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 3, 2013 at 11:15 p.m.
There's green, and then there's extreme green.
No, we're not talking arson or tree spiking or chaining bodies to gates.
We're talking about designing and building a home that might have the highest-scoring LEED rating for a single-family structure in the nation.
And Sarasota's Two Trails Inc. was the green building consultant for the project by Matt Lahn, owner of the Florida Green Home Design Group.
The project, at 2020 Alton Road in Miami Beach, won the Most Outstanding LEED for Homes / Single Family project from the South Florida chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council with a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design score of 120/80 points.
"To our knowledge, this project is the highest-scoring LEED home in the nation," Two Trails said in statement.
The home -- for most days net-zero, using no outside sources of energy -- fits five bedrooms and five bathrooms in just 3,200 square feet on a site that is 58 feet by 120 feet. The concrete-and-glass structure is a luxurious, sleek, modern beauty.
But lots of buildings are.
It's the homes full complement of green features that won it LEED Platinum and the Galaverde prize.
They include a dual 600-watt, vertical-axis wind turbine, a 11.5-kilowatt rooftop array of frameless photovoltaic panels, a geothermal heating and cooling system, a 7,000-gallon rainwater cistern, a back-up battery system and a Home Energy Rating of -8.
For wind storm resistence, the solar panels are rated for 160 mph winds and the wind turbines can be easily collapsed when a storm is on the way. The low-E windows from CGI can withstand a Category 5 hurricane.
The home also has LED lighting throughout, sustainable wood custom cabinetry, WaterSense-qualified Toto faucets and fixtures, recycled glass countertops, low-VOC paints and finishes, spray foam insulation and a pool equipped with an EcoSmarte water purification system that eliminates the need for chemicals.
As someone who was glad to have a house with a rainwater cistern after hurricanes, I can tell you this is an important aspect of storm preparedness of this project -- and this one, and the home's reflecting pool, are lined with a nontoxic epoxy called Pond Armor that Two Trails said makes the water potable if it is needed in an emergency.
The project's team included architect Ari Sklar, contractor Robert Arkin, MEP Engineers Buchanan P.E. Consulting Inc., structural engineer R.E. Engineering Design Corp. and civil engineer Holland Engineering Inc.

Wednesday's letters: DARE program
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 5:42 p.m.
To the editor: The recent news of a proposal to use county money to only determine if our county needs another liquor store coupled with recent cuts to fund the DARE program deserves response.
Over the past month, a major fundraising drive has taken place to support and sustain the county DARE program. My daughter and I have committed to run 50 miles to raise money and awareness for this program. Many businesses, families and Henderson County residents have given money in order to support this youth program during these times when our county budgets are being cut.
Now we have a proposal to spend $9,000 to simply determine if we need another liquor store.
With decisions to cut preventive programs from our youth, the demand for such stores will likely increase.
To invest $9,000 to see if we need another ABC store in times when our community is having to financially support programs being cut that save our children from addiction, equip them to face struggles and build leaders is unthinkable.
The little faces I see each year need DARE not another ABC store.
Our children or another liquor store?

Abused dogs
To the editor: I am writing on behalf of the neglected and abused dogs in Hendersonville.
You dont have to drive far through residential sections of our beautiful town to find dogs on chains (some very short and heavy ones) without food, water or sufficient shelter, not to mention any human contact or love. I cannot even classify these poor neglected animals as pets.
It breaks my heart to see this happening in our otherwise blissful, bucolic town. The town where people love one another, but some dont love our four-legged friends. If people treat animals this way, then how on Earth do they treat each other?
I understand that Hendersonville City Council will have three seats to fill this fall. Im praying people with more government experience than I have, who truly love and care about animals, will step forward, run for office and dedicate themselves to getting some solid laws passed to change this dire situation.
We want Hendersonville to be known as the town that stands up for what is right and humane. We need people to speak up for those who cant speak for themselves! There is no doubt that the caring citizens of Hendersonville will support these candidates.
Judy L. Gawor
You dont say
To the editor: I was amazed when I turned to page A4 of the Times-News on March 9 and saw the headline, 2 Civil War sailors found in ironclad buried at Arlington.
It is no wonder it took so long to find the ship! Who would ever have thought to search for it at Arlington?

In adversity there is opportunity.
For several years, the two public beaches in Lake of the Ozarks State Park have been closed numerous times by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources for elevated levels of E. coli bacteria. The DNR's decisions are based on some of the strictest standards in the country ― even more stringent than federal standards.
Of course, the public's health and safety should always be at the forefront. No one argues that point. But often, regulations are overkill.
Closing beaches at Grand Glaize Beach in Osage Beach and Public Beach 1 in the Lake of the Ozark State Park is a disservice to the Lake of the Ozarks community. At a time when many families struggle from paycheck to paycheck, when gasoline prices remain painfully high, the beaches are a great way to enjoy the lake on a budget.
Gov. Jay Nixon has an opportunity to resolve the issue of exceedingly high E. coli standards at State Park beaches across the state. He has on his desk two bills (HB 28 and HB 650) that contain language that would redefine how the DNR conducts its tests. The language, originally sponsored by District 124 Rep. Rocky Miller, would bring the state's bacteria criteria inline with the EPA. And, it would allow the DNR to caution swimmers rather than close the beaches.
There is nothing more alarming than yellow police tape strung between trees at the beaches. Why would anyone ever come back?
The danger is that the language is part of other bills that the governor or his cronies may not like. We believe Governor Nixon is caught in a web of politics. He has never been a particular fan of the Lake of the Ozarks, and his lackadaisical attitude toward this particular issue is alarming.
It wasn't that long ago, Feb. 8, 2011 to be exact, that Nixon was quoted by a reporter from this newspaper as saying, "The Lake of the Ozarks is a tremendous recreational and economic resource for the people of the Show-me State. It draws tens of thousands of visitors a year and is arguably our most important tourism destination."
A simple stroke of the pen can put life back into our beaches. We ask lake-area residents to contact the governor and urge him to consider the best interests of the largest tourism venue in the state.

After Rapping of Maseratis, Hip-Hopper Kenny Clutch Shot Dead in One
The rapper Kenneth Cherry Jr., known as Kenny Clutch, died after an assailant shot him as he drove his Maserati Granturismo on the Las Vegas strip. Cherry has included Maseratis in his lyrics and videos.
Las Vegas police said a person (or possibly people) in a black Range Rover SUV fired into Cherry's Maserati near the intersection of Las Vegas and Flamingo boulevards. The Maserati then drove into the intersection and collided with a taxi, which caught fire. The taxi driver and a passenger died in the fire and Cherry died from his injuries, police said.
The crash set off a chain reaction of crashes involving a number of other vehicles and resulting in additional injuries.
Police said they are involved in a multi-state search for the Range Rover, which left the scene.

- America's Cup schedule
SAN FRANCISCO -- It was a lesson learned for me: Do not entirely believe a sport's reputation. I first personally encountered an America's Cup sailor in 1987. His name was Dennis Conner. I was across the globe, in Perth. My bosses sent me there to watch Conner and his USA boat regain the Cup from Australia.
Back then, Conner was America's finest skipper. But he was no physical specimen. He was 30 pounds overweight, a pudge. He should have endorsed Cheez Doodles. Conner didn't appear capable of winning an arm-wrestling match with a koala. So I immediately categorized all America's Cup competitors as fraudulent non-athletes.
Then I met the other guys on Conner's boat. I immediately regretted and retracted every insulting thought of a nautical nature. These guys were reinforced steel in windbreakers. A skipper can afford to be slightly softer, because he's the least active guy on the craft. But the rest of the crew ... let's just say that if the sailors entered a tug of war with the 49ers' offensive line, I'd take the sailors.
Why? The sailors use their shoulders and arms to pull ropes. They use their legs for leverage. They use their abdominal muscles to lean over the side of the hull and keep the boat from tipping over -- while eating salt spray. Let's see an offensive tackle try to do that. It's impressive as hell.
You'll see what I mean Saturday, when the two remaining Louis Vuitton Cup challengers face off. The best-of-13 series, matching Luna Rossa Challenge of Italy and Emirates Team New Zealand, will decide the opponent for Oracle Team USA in the 34th America's Cup next month.
We received a stark reminder of how dangerous it can be to race AC72 catamarans earlier this summer when the Artemis Racing boat from Sweden capsized and one crew member perished. That tragedy certainly caught the attention of casual sports fans. But many of them still don't understand exactly what the crew members are doing out there, as they scramble all over the 72-foot-long boats while traveling at speeds that surpass 40 miles per hour.
Thus, I am here to help. Last week, I asked Luna Rossa helmsman Chris Draper to explain his duties during competition.
"I've always described it as like playing chess while standing in a hammock," Draper said. "But these days, it's a lot more like driving a race car."
Draper's words inspired me to attempt some similar (and non-chess-playing) comparisons, relating the specific jobs of America's Cup crew members to those of other athletes in other sports. I figure it might help you better appreciate the entire competition.
Each America's Cup boat has 11 sailors. They have different titles and responsibilities. Yet each of the 11 jobs can be linked, if not completely equated, to a position in another sport. Every boat has a slightly different crew breakdown. But I based my comparisons on the configuration utilized by Emirates Team New Zealand, the favorite to beat Luna Rossa and advance to the America's Cup.
Skipper/Helmsman: The jobs are combined on the Kiwi boat, in the person of Dean Barker, who once successfully drove race cars in New Zealand. But the best analogy for this position is that of a football quarterback. A skipper/helmsman barks the signals (everyone on the boat wears radio earpieces) and runs the show, directing the other 10 sailors in fairly complex maneuvers to move the boat forward and around the marks.
And the current batch of skippers can't be compared to Conner's 1987 model of fitness. Jimmy Spithill of Oracle Team USA stays in shape by boxing. Draper won a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics sailing in the 49er class -- consisting of small, two-person skiff dinghies where both sailors must wrangle the boat energetically at practically every moment.
Tactician: He is the brains of the operation, sort of like a baseball manager who must keep track of all factors simultaneously, anticipate and pull the trigger on strategic moves. He does so by calculating wind speed, the tides, the currents, the opposing boat's moves and the odds of any given tactic's success. If something flops, he gets second-guessed.
"Maybe the best way to say it is that the skipper has his eyes on what's happening inside the boat and the tactician has his eyes outside the boat," said Peter Lester, a three-time America's Cup competitor who works as an analyst for the TV New Zealand broadcasts of the races.
Grinders: The New Zealand boat has four sailors devoted exclusively to this gig, the hardest physical task in the bunch. These are the men you see cranking the winches madly throughout the race, as if they are winding up the world's largest garden hose. The winches keep rebooting the hydraulics that operate the boat's machinery. It takes superior muscles to do this.
Rob Waddell, a New Zealand grinder, stands 6 feet 9 and won a gold medal as a rower at the 2000 Olympics. Grinders are often compared to football linemen. I believe they're more like linebackers, because in addition to the winch work, they need quick legs to scramble laterally across the trampoline-like net between the catamaran's two hulls when a boat changes direction.
Craig Monk, a stocky grinder for the eliminated Artemis boat, said: "It's like running uphill on a net with 60 knots of breeze blowing in your face. It's quite a bit of fun. But it could go badly. We're basically wrestling the boat the whole time we're out there."
Grinder/Bowman: Three of New Zealand's crew members perform double duty. They grind when necessary but have other key responsibilities. The bowman is like a wrestler who utilizes his upper body to grab ropes and handle the forward sail, while using his balance and technique over tough waves to get the job done.
Grinder/Freestyler: He would be the baseball utility man or the football special teams player, ready to step into any job if called upon due to another man's injury or racing situation. If you see someone scrambling up the mast to make repairs during a race or just before the start, it's probably the freestyler. Lucky him.
Grinder/Pit: On catamarans, the "pit" job probably no longer exists in the same sense as it did on single-hulled boats. But when you see a sailor called upon to climb down inside one of those pontoon-esque catamaran structures and perform a task, he's still in the "pit."
In another sport, maybe he would be a mixed martial artist, prepared to fight upright or on the mat.
Headsail trimmer: I would equate this job to that of a hockey defenseman running a power play, who moves around the puck or holds onto it while skating to create better scoring angles and open up a gap for a shot by a teammate. The headsail trimmer manipulates the angle of the soft forward sail to gain momentum, taking advantage of space and time, allowing his teammates to shine.
Wing sail trimmer: The biggest "sail" on an AC72 boat is actually a fixed piece of rigid carbon fiber and Kevlar, larger than a Boeing 747 wing. It reacts quickly to any wind shifts, so the man in charge of manipulating it has to move just as quickly.
"He's your speed man, your throttle man," Lester said. In other words, he's like a basketball point guard, constantly on the fast break, maximizing the forward momentum of his team by finding the correct wing angles.
That about does it, although we still haven't covered what happens when everything clicks right on a downwind leg of the race and the boat rises up onto its narrow hydrofoil "winglets" and "daggerboards," effectively flying at low level across the water. When that happens, said NBC television analyst Gary Jobson, crew members "probably don't know whether to be thrilled or terrified."
My bet is on "thrilled." Every athlete I know would be. And these guys can compete in any sport.

7 Essential Home Workout Tools
Last week I wrote about keeping your gym membership and focusing on the gym amenities you really use. But if getting to the gym isn't working for you, I suggest stocking your home with a few well-chosen pieces of exercise gear to help you start or maintain a consistent fitness regimen. Having your own gear handy puts you in control. It saves you time, since you never have to drive to and from the health club. It gives you a weatherproof alternative to outdoor activities like walking or biking. And it lets you squeeze in exercise in the morning before the kids wake up or in the evening while you're watching your favorite TV show.

Conn., Mass., Maine nuke plants win fed payments
|There are 43 dry-storage casks on the 100-ffot by 200-foot, three-foot-thick concrete pad at the former Connecticut Yankee nuclear power plant site in Haddam. Forty of the cask conatin spent fuel assemblies and three store sections of the reactor vessel. Photo courtesy www.connyankee.com
HARTFORD -- Three decommissioned nuclear plants in New England said Thursday they've been reimbursed nearly $160 million from the federal government in a 14-year-old lawsuit over costs to dispose of spent nuclear fuel that has yet to be removed.
Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Co., Maine Yankee Atomic Power Co., and Yankee Atomic Electric Co. said the federal government decided against appealing a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling upholding claims of $39.7 million to Connecticut Yankee in Haddam, $81.7 million to Maine Yankee in Wiscasset, Maine, and $38.3 million to Yankee Atomic in Rowe, Mass.

3 capsules and I had an allergic reaction, severe rash, very intense itching, gasping for air like a fish out of water. I am 73 and have never been allergic to anything before, this was a nightmare.
its a very effective drug in my point of view well tolerated not very expensive when compared to our own health so i advice it to be taken with pneumonia's
I found out I was allergic to cefaclor after 2 days. I was swollen all over. My eyes was swollen shut. My throat was swollen. Had to go to ER. Broke out with rash ALL over which turned into blisters and lasted a month and a half. this is a mean medication to me. The pharmacist said 99.9% of people are not allergic to this medicine.
Took this medication (Cefaclor) for 7 days of a 7 day regimen. I felt somewhat better, however i still had the infection. Now I have been perscribed a course of V-CILLIN K.

The Malah returning to Greenville to perform at Handlebar
Published: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 10:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 10:12 a.m.
The Malah may be a stripped-down trio, but their sound is anything but bare bones. The Colorado-by-way-of-Greenville group, who will be making a return to their hometown to play The Handlebar Listening Room this Wednesday, has a sound that's a lot more complex than simple meat-and-potatoes rock.
Want to go?
Who: The Malah
Where: The Handlebar, 304 E. Stone Ave., Greenville
When: 8:30 p.m. Wednesday Jan. 30
Info: 864-233-6173 or www.handlebar-online.com
Tickets: $11 advanced and $13 day of show
The group specializes in extended soundscapes that take elements of jam-band music, electronica and jazz and molds them into expansive, often danceable explorations into the outer limits.
Live, the band incorporates a dazzling light show, creating a multimedia experience as opposed to a simple concert. Bassist Elliott Vaughn and guitarist Brandon Maynard spend almost as much time programming as they do playing, crafting skittering drumbeats and rich washes of synthesizers to stack on top of drummer Seth Fankhauser's ever-shifting beats.
The Malah formed in 2003, when the members were still teenagers, and they take their inspiration from many different genres, ranging from heavy rock to techno. After spending seven years touring and releasing two studio albums, all while based in Greenville, the band decided to move to Colorado in 2010 after playing several concert dates there and taking in the area's growing music scene.
In August of 2012, The Malah released its third album, called "Light Forms," which took over two years to record. The Handlebar's co-owner and promoter, John Jeter, is excited to have the band on the Listening Room stage for a hometown show.
"The great thing about The Malah," Jeter said, "is that these guys were into the hottest thing in music - the whole electronica-dance thing - long before it became the hottest club music on the planet. And what's even greater about THAT is that these guys are from Greenville. All of which is to say that The Malah came from a place that isn't really known for being ahead of its time with music that was way ahead of its time, and they're still at it. And they're coming back home to play, where what they started so many years ago has become, you guessed it, hot."

By Captain Steve
Our Captain Steve never let a little lightning and thunder keep him from testing a boat. Here he is heading out to Tampa Bay on the Intrepid 475 Sport Yacht with 1400-hp strapped to the transom.
Intrepid has a lot to offer the discriminating buyer. While the company motto is "One of a Kind, One at a Time" it should probably be "Do Nothing Halfway". As I walked the decks of the flagship 475 Sport Yacht, that's what I saw. Everything is top of the line, and what's more surprising…the Intrepid 475 SY was powered with outboards!
As for performance, it was just as impressive as the boat itself. So with Thor's lightning surrounding the proving grounds, we set out to see for ourselves exactly what sort of performance four 350-hp Yamaha V-8 outboards could bring to the party.
With quad 350-hp Yamaha V-8's our test boat had plenty of get up and go. One can also opt for triple 350-hp V-8's or quad 300-hp V-6's.
The Mission
The 475 Sport Yacht is the flagship of the Intrepid fleet. She has the largest master stateroom, the largest cockpit, and the largest about everything else of the 15 basic models that Intrepid produces. She is designed for a couple of purposes, the most obvious of which is as a move-up yacht for people who already own an Intrepid, and appreciate the level of quality, customization, and factory care that Intrepid provides. They also must enjoy, if even only a little bit, the approbation of their boating peers for owning an Intrepid.
The floor layout of the Intrepid 475 Sport Yacht.
Our guess is that the owner of a 475 will use the boat for fishing or diving -- which is likely how he was introduced to Intrepid in the first place -- but secondarily, he is now ready to dial back a bit from his earlier passion, recalibrate how he uses his boat. With the 475 he can cruise with two couples or a few buddies, explore the Bahamas, fish, dive, and glory in the fun of driving an exhilarating boat across the flats at 50 knots.
As an example of how far Intrepid is willing to go to meet customers' requests, here's a shot of one 475 with an enclosed bridge. Intrepid intended this to be a "one-off" but once others saw it, that plan was out the door. Now it's on the options list.
The 475 is intended to offer a higher degree of luxury and comfort that only a large boat can provide.
Another specific mission of the 475 is to be the second or third boat owned by a yachtsman who has a large motoryacht or even a battlewagon in his navy. The 475 is just what its name says: a "sport yacht." For this owner the boat will be a fleet-footed day boat that he can operate without a crew, and take off on a moments notice. Because of her hull, heft, and minimum draft she can go most anywhere and is only limited by her 480 gal. (1,816 L) fuel tank -- and her owner's imagination.
Because she is so fast, the Intrepid 475 can be there and back the same day. Caught on one of the out islands because of weather or good fishing fortune? She has all of the accommodations needed for a comfortable week in paradise.
Finally, part of the Intrepid's flagship mission statement is that it must also be a classy and elegant entertainment platform for an evening harbor cruise, or have enough room to be a VIP spectator boat for the start of the local yacht club's annual regatta. She must have enough comfortable seating for 12 to 16 people in the cockpit and on the bridge deck.
Even though today's outboards are well protected from salt water corrosion, Intrepid even adds a dedicated flush-out port. Simply connect the dock hose up and run the engines at idle. Done.
Power to Spare
First things first… to me at first glance the outboards on a boat this big seemed out of place. But it did not take me long to look a little deeper and see the advantages. So much space was opened up both below and above decks that it makes one wonder why everyone doesn't do this. Imagine all of the space under the bridge deck taken up by engine room as would be on a conventional inboard-powered express -- with the Intrepid 475 that space can now be used for living large or stowing equipment and gear.
Intrepid is quick to tout the improved economy of powering with outboards, and while they may be correct, without an apples-to-apples comparison, I'm not going to jump on that bandwagon. What really hit home was the fact that there is a choice between several combinations of V-6s and V-8s ranging from 1050-hp to 1400-hp.
This was not our test boat but this photo does show the beauty of the 475's lines on a sunny day. Her side lights in the hull work fine for us, and are not visually obtrusive.
The Intrepid 475 has a dry displacement of 21,500 lbs. (9,772 kgs.), including about 3,288 lbs. (1,494 kgs.) for her four Yamaha 5.3 liter V-8s. As I tested her our boat weighed 24,500 lbs. (11,136 kgs.), something near her fully loaded weight of 25,184 lbs. (10,992 kgs.).
Under the conditions we encountered that stormy day on Tampa Bay we recorded a top speed of 58.0 mph (50.4 knots) at 5900 rpm where she burned 132.6 gph (501.9 lph). Remember that we had to feed 1400 horses at WOT speed.
I recorded a best cruise speed of 37.3 mph (32.4 kts) at 4000 rpm, where we burned 54.1 gph getting .60 nmpg for a range of 298 nautical miles. At that speed the boater will be across the Gulf Stream from southern Florida to Bimini in about 1 hour and 35 minutes. Nassau, anyone?
Handling Characteristics
I was very impressed with the handling capabilities of the 475. I hate to overuse the word "solid" but that is the definitive impression I got from this boat. Since she has a stepped hull I wanted to see if she would slide or exhibit any bad habits in a sharp turn.
I brought her up to over 50 mph, and since I didn't have passengers to worry about, I cranked the wheel hard over just to see what would happen. What happened was, the 475 carved a perfect turn with an average bank angle of 5-7 degrees with no slide or no tendency to slip off the turn. The 475 was in her element.
And while it was a relatively calm day I was able to create a good sized wake. Then I added power to come around and blast through it. It was anti-climatic. She carved right through the 2' (.6 m) wave as if it wasn't there. Then I tried again and launched her off the top of the wave. I expected a smash back down but instead the re-entry was soft and gentle as the 475 landed in the center of the hull, and then gently pressed down towards the bow.
There was nothing I could do to get the hull to pound, or even take spray on the windshield. This is a boat designed for offshore and hard use. With her, I would not worry about any nasty weather that might pop-up. She can handle it. Toward the end of this report I will explain why the 475 Sport Yacht has such a solid feel.
This, now famous, dive door started out as a customer request. Now everyone orders it on their Intrepid, and it may possibly be the icon of their level of commitment. One can get a dive door opening out, down, or in.
Looking under the dive door I noticed that there are stringers molded into the hull and the receiver for the door is molded to the stringers. In this manner, the door frame in the gunwales may very well be the strongest part of the hull.
Want a large bench seat across the transom? No problem. With the bench seat removed, I measured 110 sq ft (10.23 sq m) of open space in the cockpit. With the bench in place, it still seemed wide open.
A Huge Cockpit
Open space seems to be the keyword when looking about the 475 Sport Yacht. I measured 110 sq ft (10.23 sq m) of open space in the aft cockpit. Folks that is huge, as large as one will find on a number of far bigger battlewagons.
There are accommodations for an in-deck recirculating livewell, and an enclosed space for a gas or diesel generator. In addition, there is a dedicated pumproom that allowed easy access to all of the main mechanical components under the deck. I also noticed that all the hatches fit perfectly flush, and when opened I saw gutters surrounding the openings to channel water to the overboard deck drains.
This 475 has a baitwell with picture window and no bench seat in the cockpit. If there was ever a builder who could fabricate foldaway seating in all of the wasted spaces under the gunwales in a cockpit, Intrepid is the company. We see three places in this photo.
I also find it interesting that with all of the space that this boat presents, that Intrepid still managed to find room for side decks.
With comfortable seating for 8 adults on the elevated bridge deck, this is likely the most popular spot on the boat when she's underway. Add a table if desired.
The Bridge Deck
The bridge deck is up two 8" (20.3 cm) steps and has accommodations to hold a party here. A quick glance shows seating for eight, and very comfortable seating at that. There's a space for an optional flatscreen television to port. Our test boat had the optional 24,000 BTU helm deck air conditioning, which I thought was a nice touch on our hot Florida day even with the open cockpit. The vents for the helm A/C ran across the top of the entire panel, not just an opening or two at the end of a hose.
The L-shaped bridge deck seating is enormous for this size boat. Note the twin Stidd helm seat on a raised platform.
The helm panel will accommodate dual 15" (38 cm) flatscreen panels of one's choice. Notice the A/C vents across the top of the panel. That windshield frame is 2.5" (6.4 cm) thick.
The 475 has a long salon with the dinette forward. Why some builders dedicate this space to a berth that rarely gets used escapes me. Naturally, this will convert to a berth at the push of a button. Note the sturdy hydraulic pedestal under the table. Those cabinets are attached to resin infused fiberglass structures that get glassed to the hull. These box sections add tremendous integrity and strength to the hull.
I can barely reach the overhead, which is 7' (2.13 m) above the deck. That hatch is one of four in this cabin alone.
Roomy Salon
Down below Intrepid went with an interesting design layout. Rather than the usual galley-to-one-side-dinette-to-the-other layout that we see in practically every boat of this size, Intrepid went with a very lengthy galley leading to the forward dinette. The U-shaped dinette can easily seat six large adults. An electrically actuated high-low table will allow for easy conversions to a queen berth if the owner happens to have six people overnighting instead of the more comfortably accommodated four.
The banquette in the bow can be as formal, or informal, depending on one's mood. Note the unobtrusive A/C vents at the top of the forward bulkhead. All of the built-in furniture that is seen is actually also a structural element of the monocoque hull.
A surprising amount of natural light is allowed into the salon from hull-side port lights, and four opening overhead hatches. This is easily the brightest salon area I've seen in class. And the salon boasts 7' (2.13 m) of headroom which is unusual.
The galley features a very large side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, a single-burner stove top, a single basin stainless steel sink with a retractable cover (no worries about where to store that), and a microwave in one of the cabinets. All the drawers are lined with stainless steel and are self closing. This is an important sanitation detail.
All of the cabinetry here is structural to the hull. The wood veneers are backed by paper-thin sheets of aluminum that keep the wood stable and are able to withstand changes in temperature and humidity. All of the drawers are stainless steel inside.
I noticed that the largest galley cabinets are 13" (33 cm) deep which will handle storage for full size dinner plates, this is something that boat builders often forget to accommodate.
Now that's a high-gloss finish! Here's a cedar locker next to the dinette and it's an integral component of the hull.
Staterooms and Head
The teak and holly sole from the galley and salon continues into the head. This head features storage below and above the sink and a separate shower stall. An overhead hatch provides natural light, and ventilation.
When I first looked at a diagram of the 475's layout, I assumed that the head would be shoehorned into a small space but nothing could be further from the truth. This head even featured a separate shower stall with teak grating, a built-in seat, and plenty of natural light and ventilation from an opening overhead hatch. I found more than enough storage for each of the overnight guests to have their own space for toiletries.
The master stateroom has a queen athwartships berth, triple hull-side windows, 6'8" (2 m) of overhead clearance and a deck hatch for light, ventilation, and emergency egress. There is also a separate access to the head.
The Staterooms
The Master. The master stateroom lies to port and features an athwartships queen berth and three large hullside portlights. The view out of the portlights from the seated position is spectacular as one is just above the surface of the water. Imagine waking up in the morning and looking out across the harbor. Additionally, there's a counter atop two drawers that I found made a surprisingly comfortable spot to sit and put shoes on and just get ready for a night out on the town.
As for headroom, I measured well over 6'8" (2 m) and with 3'4" (1 m) of clearance over the berth, I even had extra room over my head when seated on it. Intrepid was still able to accommodate an overhead deck hatch that allows for ventilation as well as an emergency egress.
The guest stateroom also has the high overhead, an opening hatch, teak and holly sole, and hull-side windows.
The Guest Stateroom. To starboard is a guest cabin with a second queen berth which stretches from the hull side to the bulkhead, making it a crawl-in berth. There is standing headroom at the entrance, the usual hanging locker storage and drawers, and I found the same overhead opening hatch. This cabin is small, but in this size and type of boat it is amazing that it is there at all.
Exterior Fit-and-Finish
Looking at the 475 on the trailer was very revealing. Intrepid uses Imron paint on all of their hulls, and even for the boot stripe and the Intrepid logo. This one had been getting the wet-sanding and buffing process for several days, and it had an astonishing mirror-like finish that has to be seen to be believed. I did my usual stare down the side and saw not a single ripple, not a single bend, not a single flaw…anywhere. It was meticulously perfect.
As for the inside, the same attention to detail can be seen everywhere. Joinery lines were arrow straight and sealed. Any visible screw heads were all facing the same direction, all angles met perfectly. It was an obsessive-compulsive's dream come true.
On most boats of this type there is a bulkhead where there is a step-up on the cabin sole. That is eliminated on the 475 thanks to the method of cabinet construction. The absence of the bulkhead opens up the boat.
Unusually Strong Construction
Intrepid's cabinetry construction is quite unusual and may be unique in the U.S. powerboat-building industry. Boaters who appreciate the very best construction will immediate realize the importance of it.
Most builders make cabinets for people to put things in. Intrepid makes cabinets to make their hulls stronger, and as a bi-product, one can put things in them. None of Intrepid's built-in joinerwork is actually what it appears to be. Rather, it is a series of boxes made of resin impregnated Divinycell PVC foam core and fiberglass that is vacuum bagged and laminated as separate modules. These parts are then fitted carefully to the hull sides, or hull and overhead, and glassed in with two layers of 1708 fiberglass cloth once there is a perfect fit.
Shown above is the vacuum-bagging process that uses atmospheric pressure to draw just the right amount of resin through the fiberglass reinforcing material. The process is labor intensive but better for the work staff and the resulting laminate is generally lighter but just as strong as those made by conventional hand lay-up.
The result is that from the floors and stringers up to the overhead, the accommodations area in the forward part of the boat is a series of fiberglass boxes that create a monocoque hull that has remarkable strength, but which is light weight, much like an egg crate. This system keeps the hull from oil-canning or "wheezing" and keeps the deck from flexing. It creates one unified structure that is the highest tech engineering I have seen in this class of boat.
Wood veneer backed by a sheet of paper thin aluminum is affixed to the fiberglass modules with heat treated glue, then repeatedly varnished to a high gloss. Fitted inside each cabinet is a fiberglass liner. Suffice it to say that the process is far more involved than it is being described here, but that is the general idea.
This build process is another reason why Intrepid is much envied by engineers at other boat companies. It can build in quality that is simply too expensive for most production builders to tackle. Further, only a small, privately owned company can make both the kind of decisions and quantity of them, fast enough, with which this kind of intricate work demands.
Life is good when flying low in an Intrepid 475 Sport Yacht. Too bad everyone can't have one.
Not only is the Intrepid 475 Sport Yacht a boat for veteran boat owners who are connoisseurs of the art of boat building, it is also a vessel other boat builders can admire. In an industry not given to false admiration, Intrepid's peers are nearly universally unanimous in their praise for the company's build quality and technical standards.
To a great degree, Intrepid has attained what I think of as "Hinckley status." Hinckley being that venerable Maine builder of sail and powerboats that popularized the "picnic boat" concept and was known for its "high-quality no matter what the cost" attitude. Hinckley's boats were so well executed and so expensive that production builders never even tried to compete. After all, there were only so many Rockefellers and Fords to go around.
And so it is with Intrepid these days. If people can afford one and appreciate what goes into them, then that's the brand they will buy. Smart consumers who appreciate what Intrepid does but can't afford it, should carefully inspect the Intrepids and find the next best thing that fits their purse. Right now, Intrepid is the builder setting the bar highest in this type and class of boat, in our opinion.
Having said all of that, because Intrepid sells factory-direct the dealer mark-up is eliminated which makes these boats closer in price to some production boats than one might imagine.

Tuberculosis is caused by the infectious agent known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). This rod-shaped bacterium, also called Koch's bacillus, was discovered by Dr. Robert Koch in 1882.
When a person breathes in Mtb-contaminated air, the inhaled TB bacteria reach the lungs. This causes an Mtb infection. However, not everyone infected with TB bacteria becomes sick. The bacteria can remain dormant (asleep) for years and not cause any TB disease. This is called latent TB infection. People who have latent TB infection do not get sick and do not spread the bacteria to others. But, some people with latent TB infection eventually do get TB disease.
So it is important to get the appropriate treatment and get rid of the bacteria even in latent TB infection.
For someone to develop active TB disease, the following two events must take place:
The active bacteria multiply and destroy the tissue. A person with TB disease shows symptoms that vary, depending on where the TB bacteria are growing. In most cases, the bacteria attack the lungs.

Knitter's Review
February 9, 2012
We have few landmarks in the knitting world. When one closes, we feel its loss.
Earlier this week, La Lana Wools announced that February 29th would be its last day. Owner Luisa Gelenter said simply, "I'm ready for my next chapter."
For nearly 40 years, Gelenter and her Taos, New Mexico, shop have been mainstays of the textiles world. Her naturally dyed handspun yarns have captivated countless knitters, inspiring the Maine Morning Mitts and prompting Julia Roberts to stalk her in a Taos grocery store.
To pay tribute to Gelenter's work, and to help you understand what we're losing, I've been given special permission to share Melanie Falick's profile of Luisa Gelenter and La Lana Wools from America Knits (originally titled Knitting in America). When you're done reading, please join me in thanking the remarkable Luisa for adding so much color and texture to our textile world.

"In 1916, the Irish nationalist Roger Casement was hanged by the British government for treason. Casement had dedicated his extraordinary life to improving the plight of oppressed peoples around the world--especially the native populations in the Belgian Congo and the Amazon--but when he dared to draw a parallel between the injustices he witnessed in African and American colonies and those committed by the British in Northern Ireland, he became involved in a cause that led to his imprisonment and execution. Ultimately, the scandals surrounding Casement's trial and eventual hanging tainted his image to such a degree that his pioneering human rights work wasn't fully reexamined until the 1960s"--Jacket.

PHOENIX -- A massive computer-chip factory built by Intel (INTC) in a Phoenix suburb is vacant even as the Santa Clara company adds jobs In Arizona.
Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy says the Chandler fabrication plant known as Fab 42 will be used at a future date but he says specifics haven't been decided.
Mulloy says employees doing the work that had been anticipated for the new plant instead are working in other facilities in Chandler.
The Arizona Republic reports that Intel has 11,900 full-time employees in Chandler. That's up from 9,700 from 2011 when plans for Fab 42 were announced.
The Arizona Commerce Authority says Intel received $3.3 million state tax credits for the additional jobs.

Hundreds of photos taken at the turn of the 20th century by a Washington County native are currently on display at the Ohio History Center in Columbus.
Photography wasn't the easiest occupation in rural Appalachia during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Cameras were large box-like affairs that captured images on heavy plate glass negatives, and equipment often had to be lugged some distance into the hills and hollows.
In spite of those drawbacks, Lowell native Albert Ewing apparently made his living as a photographer from 1896 to 1912, traveling throughout counties in western West Virginia and southeast Ohio.

Shown is a portrait of Frank, left, and Albert Ewing, circa 1890-1910. Frank is believed to have worked with his brother Albert in the latter's travels as an itinerant photographer in West Virginia and Ohio.

This photograph was taken by Ewing outside a one-room schoolhouse along the West Virginia-Ohio border on Dec. 24, 1907. A small chalkboard identifies "Hill Grove School."
"Everything in photography from the cheapest to the best available," was printed on the business card of "A.J. Ewing, Lowell photographer," according to Phil Crane, researcher for the Lower Muskingum Historical Society in Beverly.
He said a copy of the card is in the historical society's possession.
"Ewing was apparently well-known in the Lowell area," Crane said.

What: Faces of Appalachia: Photographs by Albert J. Ewing.

On the Web: A selection of Albert Ewing's photographs can be viewed online by visiting www.ohiohistory.org/ohiopix and searching for "Albert Ewing."
Lisa Wood, curator of the "Faces of Appalachia: Photographs by Albert J. Ewing" exhibit for the Ohio Historical Society, said the photos are taken from nearly 5,000 glass plate negatives of Ewing's that were originally donated to the historical society in the 1980s.
"We've had the collection for a while, but it took some time to assemble an exhibit from 5,000 plates," Wood said. "The photos have always appealed to our staff. They're very simple, relatable images-lots of portraits of kids, babies, families, dogs, couples being married-one shows a young woman working at a telephone switchboard."
She said the collection was donated to the Ohio Historical Society by an Oak Park, Ill., man who said he bought the plates at an antique shop in Coal Run back in 1978.
"We're not sure what he intended to do with the heavy plates, but he contacted us in 1981 and arranged to donate the collection to the historical society," Wood said.
How the plates ended up in an antique shop was still a mystery, she said.
But Crane said he had seen the plates in 1974 in the basement of late Lowell resident and local historian Helen White.
"I remember talking with Helen about some local history, and she took me into her basement where I saw an entire table covered with stacks of glass plates," he said. "She said the negatives were mostly taken in West Virginia counties. I'm from West Virginia, so I was interested."
Crane said the images were taken in Wood, Ritchie, Calhoun, Pleasants, and other local counties in the Mountain State.
"Very few were dated or had information marked on the plates," he said.
During a phone call Tuesday to White's daughter, Katherine Grego, now living in Charleston, S.C., Crane learned that the plates were sold as part of her mother's estate after Helen White died in 1983.
Grego also confirmed that her mother had obtained the plates from various people in the area, and that White had even rescued some plates that had simply been thrown away.
Albert Ewing was born in Washington County Nov. 27, 1870, in Adams Township, the second child of a family that eventually included at least eight children, according to Ohio Historical Society records.
Crane said by 1910 Ewing was 39 years old and living in the homeplace on Fourth Street in Lowell along with his mother and two sisters. He was also operating a photo gallery.
Wood said it's believed Albert's younger brother, Frank, could have been a partner in the photography business as some of the glass plate negatives are marked "Ewing Brothers."
"That would make sense," she said. "Photography equipment was heavy and it would have been a lot of work just to carry and set it up at that time. So the business could have been a two-man operation."
Sharon Dean, director of museum and library services for the Ohio Historical Society, said at least 120 of Ewing's images are currently on display, and more will be added.
"This is probably the first time these plates have seen the light of day for 100 years," she said of the exhibit. "It's interesting to know what an itinerant photographer did at that time. People didn't come into his portrait studio. The photographer went by and took photos at their homes and was paid for the pictures by those residents."
Dean noted Appalachia at that time has had a reputation of being an impoverished area, but the fact that they were able to afford a photographer indicates folks who lived there were really no different from people in other areas of the country.
She said the exhibit will run through Dec. 29 and is located on two floors of the Ohio History Center museum in Columbus.
Wood added that because most of the Ewing collection photos do not contain any details about the subjects being photographed, the Ohio Historical Society staff hopes residents in southeast Ohio and western West Virginia counties will be able to help identify some of the photos.
Jean Yost, president of the local Friends of the Museums group at Marietta's Campus Martius and Ohio River museums, said area residents should make an effort to see the exhibit in Columbus or view some of Ewing's photos online at ohiomemory.org.
"We all have a part in the history of this area, and we invite everyone, particularly those in southeastern Ohio and West Virginia to help us identify the people of Ewing's photographs," he said.
Albert Ewing died in 1934. The family members, including father and mother Marquis and Eliza (Foraker) Ewing, are buried in Lowell's Greenlawn Cemetery.

Tuscarora Historian to Discuss Natives in the Potomac Valley

North Country lobbies state to keep rest areas open year round
Another priority is changing the distribution formula for rooms and meals tax revenue. Woodburn said the current formula distributes rooms and meals tax revenues based on population instead of where the money is generated. Under the system, he complained that Coos County is a donor county �receiving less than its fair share of rooms and meals revenues. Woodburn said the Mount Washington Hotel is the single largest generator of rooms and meals revenue in the state.
