Fremont Partners Sells Tapco International Corporation to Headwaters Incorporated.
Tapco is a leading designer, manufacturer, and marketer of accessory products and professional installation tools for the remodeling and new construction of residential exteriors. The Company is located in Wixom, Michigan and is a portfolio company of Fremont Partners II, Fremont Partners III, and a related Fremont Partners co-investment partnership. Fremont Partners II and the co-investment partnership invested $100 million and $50 million, respectively, in Tapco in June 1999 alongside management and the founder's estate, which retained a meaningful stake. As described below Fremont Partners III invested $41.5 million in Tapco in April 2002.
Fremont Partners II is realizing a gross IRR of approximately 22.3% and a cash-on-cash return of approximately 2.5x since June 1999. Fremont Partners III is realizing a gross IRR of 31.8% and a cash-on-cash return of nearly 2x since April 2002. These returns are before any consideration related to tax benefits. With this distribution to date, Fremont Partners has returned $742 million or 124% of invested capital to Fremont Partners II, its 1996 fund, and $225 million or 79% of invested capital to Fremont Partners III, its 2001 fund.
"Today's sale represents an excellent outcome for our investors and is representative of our investment approach: acquire businesses with attractive operating fundamentals and then work in partnership with management to strengthen the strategic and financial position of those businesses through growth strategies and operating improvements," said James T. Farrell, Managing Partner of Fremont Partners. He added, "Tapco's management team is also excited by the opportunity to continue to execute its long term strategic plans with Headwaters, an emerging leader in high growth building products businesses."
Tapco is a typical Fremont Partners' investment: strong partnership with management and value creation from operating initiatives and strategic acquisitions. During Fremont's involvement, Tapco has achieved solid organic revenue growth, improved productivity and margins, and reinvested its free cash flow to strengthen the business, complete several accretive acquisitions, and provide returns to its investors. Tapco's purchase of Vantage Building Products in April 2002 was also financed by a $41.5 million investment from Fremont Partners III.
Since 1999, Tapco's proforma net income and proforma earnings per share have also nearly tripled. Tapco's revenue and EBITDA for the latest 12 months, ending July 31, 2004, were approximately $237 million and $77 million, respectively.

Missing Honolulu boat headed to Long Beach is found with broken satellite phone
Updated: 05/05/2013 04:02:00 PM PDT
LONG BEACH -- A sailboat that went missing while en route from Hawaii to California has been found with a broken satellite phone, and relatively close to the islands, Coast Guard officials said today.
The sailing vessel "Siesta" had missed its scheduled radio contacts, and Friday authorities asked California mariners for help spotting the boat, which was described as a 44-foot white and blue vessel, captained by a Hawaiian named Curtis Collins.
Coast Guard officials in Honolulu said the crew of the missing vessel was found in no distress this morning nearly 500 miles northeast of Oahu.
The crew aboard the motor vessel "Kristen Picer" notified Coast Guard officials of the discovery around 8:55 a.m. and helped rescuers locate the "Siesta."
The "Siesta" crew cited a malfunction in their satellite phone as the reason for the missed contact over the 12-hour communications schedule the crew had with friends in Honolulu.
The captain intends to continue on to San Pedro or Long Beach, without satellite communications, Coast Guard officials said.

Ahoy, halyardz , I can be reached at mredden@earthlink .net . I''ll have this article and list scanned onto a disk and then I can send it to you. As far as the transition things are going well the boat is progressing well and the only complaint would be the variety and interesting diversions available here . My marina ,a commercial fishing outpost, isn''t what you''d think to be the kind of place on anyones list but it sure is cheap enough and very close to the gulf at the mouth of Charlotte harbor. $4.00'' plus tax per month. I''ve had more trouble with bankers and loan people and the like understanding the concept of dual residency. Health Insurance went way up , auto way down. Some of this stuff forces you to chose residency one place or the other, so look at each process carefully. Wound up with two internet providers double all utility stuff(if you keep the fridge and heat on up north). Starts to motivate one to cut the ties. I''ve kept my fiberglass business up north and can operate here but the idea of moving my shop here is scary. Tractor trailer scary. Otherwise all is well. Our motto is go slow look at every move six ways and keep looking ahead. Sailing here is great and we have our first winter guest comming down for a sail. Nice to be able to play with life a little. Love all the posite response here at sailnet and hope me pirate ways don''t offend too many of me aquaintences. Then again wot''s the plank for anyway? Big Red the Pirate of Pine Island. See you on the horizon (smoking from me broadside I thinks)

Re-Introducing Biodiversity In The Scottish Highlands
The efforts of one British businessman to re-introduce wolves and bears into his estate in the Scottish Highlands is raising concerns from some farmers and neighboring landowners.
Paul Lister, 49, the son of the founder of UK furniture retailer MFI, spent $31,630 buying a pair of moose in Sweden and flying them to Scotland. The moose, named Hulda and Hercules, currently roam Lister's 450-acre enclosure in the Alladale wilderness reserve alongside wild boar.
Lister hopes to restore the deforested area of the highlands to its former glory by bringing native species to his reserve so that he can charge people to visit.
"Alladale is about a restoration project, said Lister. "It's not about conservation — we haven't got a lot to conserve."
Lister said that if predatory animals such as bears and wolves were introduced, business at his luxury eco-resort would increase tenfold. This would also add the need for 100 more jobs on the property, generating millions of dollars to the local economy.
Only around 1 percent of Scotland's native pinewoods remain, while many other habitats have been degraded or lost due to changes in climate and farming and forestry over the last 5,000 years or so, according to conservation charity Trees for Life.
"I am not just some crazed wolf man," he told Reuters.
Farmers, ramblers and neighboring landowners remain skeptical — and the reintroduction of wolves would have many complex consequences. But conservationists and naturalists are fascinated by the experiment, which is costing Lister around 800,000 pounds a year in capital expenditure and making a further 100,000 pounds trading loss.
Researchers from Oxford University's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit are conducting a three-year project on the reserve to determine the impact of boars and moose on bracken and new seedbeds for trees.
Even if Lister's plan doesn't fully take shape, the debate about restoration of the Scottish Highlands has begun to grow as a result.
"What he's doing is almost like a scientific experiment — privately funded so it is no cost to the taxpayer — to see what would happen if we re-wilded and restored parts of the old Caledonian forest in Scotland," said Richard Morley of the Wolves and Humans Foundation.
There are some in the science community who have reported evidence that Lister's plan would be effective.
Scientists from Norway and from Imperial College London found that wolves would help control the deer population, reducing the need for expensive culling and preventing overgrazing and the trampling of saplings.
"There is a feeling that we should demonstrate that we have changed and we can now live with an animal that was exterminated in the British Isles," Morley said.
Wolves once roamed freely among other wildlife in the Scottish Highlands, but were exterminated from south to north in the mid-18th century due to the threat they posed to nearby livestock.
"There is a historical character called the Wolf of Badenoch who was a highland clan chieftain who was a raider, a rampager. And although it is gone from living memory, there are lots of songs and poetry which talk about the wolf," said Iain Ross, a spokesman for the Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), the government body in charge of conservation and restoration.
"Because it is a large carnivore and predator … the reality of it is slightly different to something like the beaver which is a mild, woodland creature that would probably run away if you came upon it," he said.
One thing everyone will agree on is that the cost of such a project would be very high, and it would increase the demand for the government to provide compensation to farmers for livestock killed by the predatory animals.
Even Lister says that if he does overcome all the red tape and succeeds in releasing wolves onto his estate, he will have to have them neutered in order to control the population from getting out of hand.
Andrew Linzey, director of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics and author of the book Animal Theology, says humans should "let nature be."
"Biodiversity has led people astray into thinking that we have a moral obligation to reintroduce every species that might once upon a time have lived in a particular place," he said.
"But ecology adapts — it moves on, indeed it is constantly changing. There never was a place of perfect biodiversity, unless you believe in a literal Garden of Eden."

China's earliest known carving found in central Henan Province
The fossilized grey figurine, which is 2.1 centimeters long, 1.2 centimeters high and 0.6 centimeters thick, was found in Xuchang County in China's central Henan Province in March.
It is made from evenly-heated antler, and vividly carved with amicrolithic cutting tool.
"The carving technique is more exquisite than the western carvings of its time," said Li Zhanyang, head of the archeological team in Xuchang, and a researcher with the Henan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology.
Li said the bird carving might have been left by hunters when they were very active in Henan Province around the Last Glacial Maximum period, which started about 25,000 years ago. It could have been a totem to represent good luck and freedom.
If the bird carving could be exactly dated, it would provide important background for the research on the techniques, aesthetic and expression, as well as inter-regional migration and communication of human beings of that time, said Gao Xing, head of National Natural Science Foundation of China.

NASCAR ready to fix its issues this season
Series officials had been strongly opposed to any major design changes, but recently announced a transition that will replace the rear wing with a more traditional spoiler. Testing on the spoiler has already started, and it could be introduced by late March.
NASCAR has also tried to give relief to struggling track operators by reducing fees it charges to hold a race. The trickle down effect should allow tracks to lower ticket prices - potentially luring fans back into the stands.
But the move has also led to a 10-percent cut in race purses, a reduction that directly effects the cash flow for race teams.
Even with the belt-tightening, team owners seemed uniformly on message in gushing about the steps NASCAR has taken to cure its many ailments.
"I am probably as excited about the future of racing as I have ever been," team owner Joe Gibbs said. "I can honestly say that everybody is pointed in the right direction, and we want this sport, we want it to bounce back and come roaring back. And we will."
Team owner Roger Penske preached about a cooperative effort from competitors and NASCAR.
"We've got to be sure we do this together, build this back up, because we need the TV ratings up, we need more people in the stands and I think we need better competition," he said. "I think the folks at NASCAR realize that."
There's more to this season, though, then just fixing problems.
The sport is still rife with competition storylines, starting with Jimmie Johnson's bid to extend his historical roll to a fifth consecutive Cup title. He was the media's 2010 preseason pick to win the championship - the first time during his run he's not been overlooked in favor of another driver.
"I'm thinking it my be a curse," he laughed. "We'll see how it turns out."
Dale Earnhardt Jr., Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate, will try to bounce back from a horrendous season that rattled his confidence. If Earnhardt succeeds, it will only strengthen an organization that Rick Hendrick has established as the very best in NASCAR.
All eyes will be on Hamlin, the trendy pick to upend Johnson based on a torrid close to last season. But he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee playing basketball two weeks ago, and a decision to postpone surgery until after the season has some questioning whether he'll still be a contender.
Then there's his nemesis, Brad Keselowski. The two openly feuded over the final three months of last season over incidents in the Nationwide Series. Hired by Penske for a full-time Cup ride this season, the controversial Keselowski will now be racing every week against Hamlin - and all the other drivers he's annoyed.
He's not concerned.
"It's so hard to come into this sport and run well when you're worried about making everyone else happy," Keselowski said. "I just don't see how you can do that because in competitive sports, the only time your competitors are happy with you is when they're beating you."

Motley Crue might be in the middle of a farewell tour, but Nikki Sixx's band Sixx: A.M. have just announced the October 7th release of their third studio album. Posted rather matter-of-factly on their Twitter feed, the album still doesn't have a title, but since its release is just about three months away, I think it's safe to say that the title and lead single are close on the horizon. The album is also set to feature contributions from Foo Fighters' drummer Taylor Hawkins, which Nikki tweeted out to his followers back in April. It'll be interesting to see if and when Sixx: A.M. will tour to support their new album, considering Nikki is completely booked with Motley Crue's tour. Perhaps it'll happen after 2015…

The weapons that could change the game in Syria
- By John HudsonJohn Hudson is a senior reporter at Foreign Policy covering diplomacy and national security.
- john.hudson
- @john_hudson
Editor's note: On Thursday, June 13, the White House announced that it had definitive proof of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad using chemical weapons, and that it would begin arming the Syrian rebels in response. The Obama administration has said little about the military support it will provide, but early indications suggest the assistance will not include the heavy weapons that the Syrian opposition has requested.
On Friday, French President François Hollande defended his plan to supply weapons to Syrian rebels, as part of a British and French effort to lift the EU's arms embargo. If Libya is any example, U.S. thinking may not be far behind — especially as the conflict's death toll climbs above 70,000.
Clearly, the Obama administration is reluctant to flood the conflict with arms for fear that they could wind up in the hands of extremist groups such as the Nusra Front. But if Barack Obama does buckle under the pressure of Syria hawks, many of whom he personally hired, there are a range of powerful weapons that could potentially turn the tide in the rebels' favor. Which ones? To find out, we talked to top arms expert Jeffrey White, defense fellow at the Washington Institute, and Chris Dougherty, research fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
Weapon: Anti-aircraft weapons such as the 9K38 Igla — a Soviet-made, man-portable, infrared-homing surface-to-air missile.
Pros: In many areas of the country, rebels are getting creamed by the regime's arsenal of Soviet- and Russian-made jets, the most advanced being Mig-29 Fulcrums. There are already plenty of MANPADS in the hands of Syrian rebels, but not in some of the most heavily targeted areas, White told Foreign Policy. "Down in Daraa province, we're not seeing a lot of anti-aircraft activity, or in Damascus, which is important," he explained. If the United States wanted to make a big splash, shipping surface-to-air missiles to Daraa province and Damascus via Jordan, where Syrian jets have strafed freely, could have a big impact. They would also be helpful in rebel-held areas like Aleppo that face frequent aerial bombardments.
Cons: Legitimate fears persist that dumping this type of powerful weaponry in the middle of an extremist hotbed could create serious blowback for the United States in ways one can't easily anticipate. This is especially the case with some of the more sophisticated MANPADS such as the SA-24. As Popular Mechanics noted last year, these pack a powerful punch. "The SA-24 missiles, made in Russia, can shoot down an aircraft flying at 11,000 feet," the magazine pointed out. Domestic airliners are particularly vulnerable. After 9/11, Congress poured money into methods of jamming SA-24s. But after 8 years with no success, the White House cut the program last year, meaning commercial airliners remain exposed.
Weapon: Tanks, such as T-62s, T-65s, or T-72s from Warsaw Pact countries.
Pros: Rebels are already operating all three types of tanks listed above, which they've captured from regime forces. Handing these off to a preferred rebel group would give those units a substantial firepower advantage over other rebel units, and open up opportunities to push back against the regime. Successful attacks by rebels' armored vehicles against Syrian tanks have already been documented:
Cons: Besides the potential for devastating blowback, there's also a tactical downside. Once you transition the rebels from light infantry forces to heavier forces, they are less nimble and become easier targets for conventional regime forces.
Weapon: Anti-tank guided missiles or rocket-propelled grenade launchers such as RPG 29s.
Pros: Very effective against T-72 tanks with reactive armor. Though some are in rebel hands, there aren't many. "The regime relies very heavily on its armored fighting vehicles and the rebels simply don't have enough of these systems," said White. "Giving the rebels more anti-tank weapons would significantly cut into their ability to repel the regime."
Cons: Unless you were living under a rock, you remember what happened last September, when extremists armed with rocket-propelled grenades stormed the U.S. compound in Benghazi, killing Ambassador Chris Stevens and four others. Given that this occurred in the aftermath of the Libyan civil war, which saw a flood of foreign weapons enter the country, the parallels couldn't be more relevant.
Weapon: Indirect fire weapons such as mortars: 122 mm and 120 mm guns.
Pros: Effective against the regime's field artillery, which includes cannons, mortars, and rocket launchers. "Unless rebels get more indirect fire weapons, it's really hard to get after the regime's artillery," said White. "Getting mortars would substantially increase rebel capability and address the disparity in firepower."
Cons: As with the argument against rocket-propelled grenades, the downsides of these weapons getting into the wrong hands are significant.
Weapon: Guided mortar rounds, which are essentially mortar rounds that are deployed at a ballistic trajectory and use fins to guide them to a desired GPS coordinate.
Pros: The rounds would help the rebels hit fixed Syrian positions — including barracks, airfields, and roadblocks — with much more accuracy. "The rebels may now have some mortars, rockets, or recoilless rifles, but those unguided weapons depend on the skill of the user to hit a target," Dougherty told FP. "Given the Assad regime's air superiority and the likely low level of training possessed by the rebels, any successful long-range attacks with unguided weapons are probably the result of sheer, dumb luck.
Guided mortars would give the rebels the ability to hit a fixed target accurately and consistently — regardless of range."
: There's a high risk that such weapons could fall into the hands of U.S. foes, which could result in a high level of destruction. "The United States wouldn't want to lose positive control over these weapons — one of them fired at a major tactical operations center in Afghanistan could kill a substantial number of personnel," said Dougherty.
Weapon: Training and support from a Special Forces Operational Detachment deployed to Syria or a neighboring country.
: It's not unheard of for U.S. special operations forces to say "humans are more important than hardware," Dougherty notes. "This training and advice doesn't need to mold the rebels into a conventional fighting force — it needs to make them the most effective guerrilla force they can be," he said. "It may not be 'sexy,' but without proper training and advice, the rebels won't be able to use advanced weapons systems properly, nor will they be likely to wield them to full strategic effect."
Cons: These types of special forces units are still deployed in Afghanistan, so they're in high demand. It also wouldn't be a short deployment. "
Building trust with foreign partners takes persistent, long-term engagement," said Dougherty.

in warhammer and such games players often field one specific race or faction....orcs, elves, dwarves and so on.
ive noticed a few players say 'im mainly a lore player, or 'spirit player', but ive only seen a few recently say 'im a dwarf player' or 'im a ranger player'.
so what are you? obviously most of us switch, but is there any you mainly play, a lot more than others?
****or if you like....which is most frequently represented in your decks....(so we dont get all 'J' s)
please vote...hopefully all the options are there, including 'all of them equally' some will not get many votes as they havnt really been expanded yet, but i include them for the sake of completion.
those to come in future packs such as isengard havnt been included but can be if you want them
a) noldor
b) silvan
c) gondor
d) rohan
e) dale
f) dwarves
g) hobbits
h) rangers (i consider these seperate from gondor)
i) istari (i know there can only be 5 of them, but a lot of decks are based solely around them so i think hey should be here)
j) mostly equal throughout the race/factions
k) outlands (forgot about them!)

Councillor Sam Merulla is convinced "the fix is in" to bring a casino to Hamilton, and here's how he sees it unfolding:
First, private sector operators express interest in opening a casino — likely downtown — during secret discussions with city staff and possibly the mayor's office.
Second, proponents submit bids to the Ontario Lottery Corporation, which has already made it clear it's no longer interested in continuing horse racing at Flamboro Downs but sees Hamilton as a viable market for gaming tables and slots.
Third, city councillors, faced with the prospect of losing $4.4 million a year in revenue from the current Flamboro slots, plunge into a panicky last-minute debate over a new casino site, just as they did when a gun was held to their heads during the stadium debate.
The $4.4 million in lost revenue will be both carrot and stick.
The debate will tear the community apart.
And a half-baked decision to locate a casino in the heart of the city will be made on the fly.
Maybe, but the premise gained a bed of credibility this week when Tim McCabe, the city's director of economic development and planning, told unsuspecting councillors that secret talks with gambling operators are already taking place.
"I can tell you that I have had some discussions … through a third party and there is interest in Hamilton, other than Flamboro," McCabe said.
According to Merulla, that's all the more reason to back his motion for a moratorium on any new gaming facility in the city until the public can vote on the issue in a referendum during the 2014 civic election.
"That would be the responsible means of dealing with this issue because they're moving way too quickly on it."
McCabe cautions that slamming the door on a new casino could mean giving up a multimillion-dollar development in Hamilton.
But Merulla maintains a referendum is the only fair, open and honest way to deal with the matter.
They're both right, but Merulla is holding the higher ground.
In the end, councillors decided to hang fire until they meet with local MPPs and officials from Flamboro Downs and OLG.
They've been moving to this muddy crossroads ever since April when, faced with OLG's push to modernize and privatize gambling operations in Ontario, they passed a resolution stating that their No. 1 gaming priority remains Flamboro Downs.
However, they equivocated enough to leave the door open to entertain other discussions. That's the portal Merulla wants to close until the public has its say.
Council's support for Flamboro Downs is based entirely on community self interest: They want to keep horse racing and its related agricultural spinoffs alive in the area while keeping the city's portion of the slot revenues rolling in.
The fact that the track and one-eyed bandits coexist in the hinterland of the city rather than its core makes it more palatable for many. Moving the action into the heart of the city, however, is bound to raise many serious social and ethical issues.
True, thanks in good measure to government involvement, gambling is far more socially acceptable now than it was during the 1997 referendum when 64 per cent of preamalgamation Hamilton voters opposed a casino.
But there's no question it still generates strong opinions about the ills and impacts on a community.
Problem is, as Merulla notes, this thing is now moving very quickly.
OLG is issuing requests for proposals to private gaming operators in early fall. The decision on the locations for new gambling facilities across Ontario will likely be made in early 2013.
If, as Merulla wants, council does hold the line on Flamboro Downs and insists on a referendum before agreeing to a new casino, the boat may have sailed long before the public says yea or nay.

Respond to Review of Bolhoed
by GaiaGoldman
Review: Loved this restaurant! They had a great selection of dishes, and a vegan menu within the main menu (for dinner only). Their house salad was phenomenal - ideal for raw foodists. We also had curry croissants, and tofu mushroom spread, and very good vegan desserts. Highly recommend it. Nice and casual, on a beautiful street. Staff very friendly. Only downside was the kitchen closes earlier than the restaurant, so we missed out on the last evening as we got there too late.

E. Howard & Co., of Boston, MA. Model No. 11. The Keyhole wall clock. (11 inch dial.) -SOLD-
Edward Howard was trained as a Clockmaker by Aaron Willard, Jr. of Boston, Massachusetts. He joined with David P. Davis, also an A. Willard apprentice in the manufacturing high-grade wall clocks under the name of Howard & Davis in 1842. Together they became well known and respected as manufacturers of clocks as well as sewing machines, fire engines and precision balances. Sometime about 1843, they took on a third partner, Luther Stephenson, and began to manufacture tower clocks. In 1857, David P. Davis left the firm and Howard & Davis was dissolved. It was succeeded by E. Howard & Company which was located at 69 Washington Street and 15 Hawley Street in Boston. This new enterprise concentrated on the manufacture and sale of clocks of various kinds.
This excellent example was made by the E. Howard Clock Company and is called the Model No. 11. This model is often referred to as the "Keyhole" in the trade due to the case form and it's resemblance of a keyhole found in most doors of the period.
The case is constructed in cherry and is grained with India ink. The originally graining is in very good condition. The case measures a full 31 inches in length. The nicely shaped bezel is fitted with glass. This opens to access the painted dial which measures 11 inches in diameter. It is signed by the clockmaker in this location in a script letter format. The movement is made of brass and is excellent quality. It is weight powered or driven and has a recoil escapement. It is a very accurate time keeper for its small size. The movement is die stamped on the front plate, "E. Howard & Company, Boston." The cast iron weight is original to this clock. The brass bob is supported by the original wooden rod and features a ring turned design. This design includes a fancy damascene pattern. This can be viewed through the original lower glass that is decorated in the traditional black, gold and red colors. The red weight board is original to the clockt. Pasted inside the lower door is E. Howard's "DIRECTIONS FOR PUTTING UP THE CLOCK." This label has had some loss. Overall it is in very good condition and is a nice bonus.
This fine clock was made circa 1875. It is approximately 31 inches long. At the bezel is measures 13.25 inches wide and 4.75 inches deep.
About Edward Howard of Boston, Massachusetts.
The E. Howard Clock Company has an outstanding reputation for making high quality weight driven wall timepieces, standing regulators, public clocks and electro-mechanical master and watchman clocks.
Edward Howard was born in Hingham, Massachusetts on October 6, 1813 and died in Dorchester, Massachusetts on March 4, 1904. He began his clock making career serving an apprenticeship with Aaron Willard Junior of Boston and then worked for Henry Plympton, a balance maker in Boston. Soon, in 1847, he formed a partnership with another Aaron Willard Jr. apprentice David P. Davis. Together, under the firm name Howard & Davis, they began to make fine wall clocks, regulators, scales and balances. Soon they took on Luther S. Stephenson and the Henry Hinckley and others. Their interests in business expanded or evolved into the manufacture of tower clocks, sewing machines, fire engines, watches and bicycles. Davis left the firm and Howard continued with his clock interests. The e. Howard Clock Company grew and continued in various forms. It continued to build on it's international reputation for making high quality items. He eventually retired in 1882.
For a more in depth reading of E. Howard and his various businesses, please read Paul Foley's book, Willard's Patent Time Pieces.

The man who died in a North College Hill fire Friday night was identified as 50-year-old Tony Davis of Hamilton County.
CINCINNATI -- The man who died in a recent North College Hill apartment fire was identified Monday.
According to the Hamilton County Coroner's Office, 50-year-old Tony Davis was found dead inside his burning apartment Friday, November 29.
RELATED: Person dead, 24 homes burned in North College Hill apartment complex fire
A fire broke out at the apartment community in the 1500 block of West Galbraith Road, leaving Davis dead and damaging 24 apartment homes. It took crews 45 minutes during a second attack to work their way back inside the building. They found Davis on the third floor, in a bedroom.
At the time Davis was identified, the coroner had yet to determine the cause of death while forensic testing was ongoing.

The mechanics of inhomogeneous turbulence in and adjacent to interfacial layers bounding turbulent and non-turbulent regions are analysed. Different mechanisms are identified according to the straining by the turbulent eddies in relation to the strength of the mean shear adjacent to, or across, the interfacial layer. How the turbulence is initiated and the topology of the region of turbulence are also significant factors. Specifically the cases of a layer of turbulence bounded on one, or two, sides by a uniform and/or shearing flow, and a circular region of a rotating turbulent vortex are considered and discussed. The entrainment processes at fluctuating interfaces occur both at the outer edges of turbulent shear layers, with and without free-stream turbulence (e.g. jets, wakes and boundary layers), at internal boundaries such as those at the outside of the non-turbulent core of swirling flows (e.g. the 'eye-wall' of a hurricane) or at the top of the viscous sublayer and roughness elements in turbulent boundary layers. Conditionally sampled data enables these concepts to be tested. These concepts lead to physically based estimates for critical modelling parameters such as eddy viscosity near interfaces, entrainment rates, maximum velocity and displacement heights.

Kim Kardashian Charges Upwards From $750K For Endorsements
Kim Kardashian will slap her name on just about anything, but as we've just learned that comes with a hefty price tag! Could you imagine places shelling out upwards from $750,000 for a Kim Kardashian endorsement?
The emails were sent between a rep for Kardashian and the owner of a firm that was interested in hiring Kardashian to promote their brand. Radar has decided not to reveal the brand to protect the source.
According to the emails, Kardashian's minimum rate for an endorsement is $750,000 to $1 million. Wrote the rep, "I think you should definitely come back with the best offer that you can make her from a money standpoint, so that we can save the time going back and forth."
Her rep also noted, "We would need approval over photographer, all photos used in print materials, glam squad (hair, makeup, stylist, manicurist), hotel/airline/car service and PR usage."
Said the rep, "We would need to review and approve [the media plan] with her PR team."
But if Kardashian's diva demands put her out of the company's price range, the rep was willing to offer second best: Kendall Jenner would shill the line for $500,000 to $1 million, the rep said.
So if the brand can't afford Kim's fees, they could still get Kendall as a consolation prize? Isn't that insane how much brands pay for a celebrity's name to be associated with their products?

The flipped instructional model is being incorporated into professional development for teachers, said Nicole Tucker-Smith, a former principal in Baltimore County, who described the system at the recent ASCD conference. Educators began creating LessonCasts, or teacher-created videos, with short voice recordings in which they explain a particular teaching strategy, education reporter Liana Heitin writes in this blog post. The recordings are typically accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation or a video, which teachers watch and listen to at home, Tucker-Smith said.

Former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi on Thursday demanded that the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) be suspended to clean it up and restore people's faith in the Twenty20 tournament.
Seconding former BCCI president Shashank Manohar that the IPL has lost its credibility and should be given a break to clean-up the system, Modi said in a statement: "One meticulous probe be conducted immediately and all the erring parties be punished so that we are able to purge cricket and initiate a complete clean up, so that this generation and all future generations to come are able to view the gentleman's game in right earnest."
Modi's statement, backing his bête noire Manohar, is quite interesting in the context that it was during the latter's tenure in 2010 that BCCI threw him out of the IPL and all cricketing activities. Srinivasan was the secretary then.
Modi is currently based in London and fighting many a legal battles of financial bungling during his IPL Commissioner tenure. "I completely agree with Mr Shashank Manohar and his observations on the fact that the serious allegations regarding betting, spot-fixing and match-fixing are all seriously tarnished the image of the game and importantly, the fans and the public at large are slowly but surely starting to lose faith in the IPL in particular and game at large. Given the above context and the current goings-on, I think it only right that until the faith of the people in the integrity of the game is restored, the IPL tournament for the year 2014 should be suspended," said Modi.
Modi also blamed the current BCCI administrators for not doing enough after IPL match-fixing and betting scandal was unearthed last May.
"Unfortunately the BCCI had one full year — 365 days to gear up into some action, but alas to no avail. We all know what sadly happened. A lot of players, too, have felt the same way especially given the uncertainty in the air, but have failed to voice their opinions for wont of a fierce backlash from the powers that be," said Modi.
"I agree with Mr. Shashank Manohar wholeheartedly, that had an unbiased thorough investigation happened when the scandal broke, we would have been on a better wicket today. For, if the faith of these fans is not restored immediately, who know what the far reaching repercussions would be. I for one can only shudder to think of the consequences then," he added.

• Redshirt freshman QB J.T. Barrett was named the Big Ten co-Freshman of the Week for his performance in the win vs. Navy.
• Head coach Urban Meyer is 48-4 in his career in games played in August/September.
Virginia Tech started the season with a 34-9 win over visiting William & Mary Saturday. The Hokies are coming off a 2013 season where they finished 8-5 and 5-3 in the ACC Coastal Division. They ended their season with a 42-12 loss to UCLA in the Sun Bowl and return nine starters on offense and five on defense.
Freshman running back Shai McKenzie led the Hokies on the ground in the win over William & Mary with nine carries for 106 yards and one TD. Sophomore RB Trey Edmunds also is back after rushing for 675 yards and 10 TDs last season. Michael Brewer has replaced the departed Logan Thomas at QB, throwing for 251 yards on 23 of 30 passing with two TDs and one INT in Saturday's win.

Ohio State opened its 125th football season with a hard-fought, 34-17 victory over Navy in front of 57,579 fans at Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium. The Buckeyes had 11 first time starters line up against a Midshipmen team that has the most wins against the "Power Five" conferences – 21 – than any non-power five school. After trailing at halftime, 7-6, Ohio State outscored Navy, 28-10, in the second half. Red-shirt freshman quarterback J.T.

Sophomore safety Tyvis Powell led the defense with a career-high 13 tackles while freshman linebacker Darron Lee took a Joey Bosa forced fumble 61-yards for a score ... one of the decisive plays of the game.
850 – The win over Navy was the 850th victory in school history. Ohio State ranks fifth all-time in NCAA Division I history in wins.
14 – The win was also the 14th consecutive in a season opener for Ohio State, a streak that is fifth-longest nationally.

Steampunk Tinkers Union
February Game Night Social, Fri. 2/20/2015
And birthday party for Arnica Autumn Breeze
Time to be announced
Bring substantial snacks that will make do for dinner and snacks throughout the evening. I will supply lots of warm spiced apple cider. There is already plenty of (cheap) wine here for those who want to handicap themselves in the games. Background music will be Steampunk CD's - bring them if you have them.
We will vote on what game(s) is/are most popular for those who attend. You should bring your favorite games to increase the choices. I have plenty of card decks and a card game rule book. There are folding tables and some extra chairs if we need them for multiple tables/games
This isn't a required costume event, but dressing a little creatively would add to the fun. I have propane heaters and an electric radiator under the dining table, but be sure to dress warmly (particularly on the lower half). This is one event where layers of Victorian clothing will be appropriate.
