Australian private equity firm Anacacia Capital has raised 125 million Australian dollars (US$129.5 million) for Anacacia Fund II, following an A$80 million first close in July.
The fund has not called a final close, allowing for further small allocations to future investors in coming months. Investors in Fund II to date include global fund-of-funds and Australian superannuation and pension funds.
"We are very pleased to welcome investors into our successor fund. We feel very loyal to the investors in our first fund and are pleased that they have achieved strong returns and we are delighted to include some new investors that we have known for some time to join us," Anacacia Capital Managing Director Jeremy Samuel said.
Australian private equity player Anacacia Capital is poised to close the first tranche of its up to 150 million Australian dollar (US$150 million) raising for Anacacia Partnership II, a person familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.
The first close is expected to occur on July 2, and commitments to date exceed the fund's target of A$50 million, the person said.
Interested investors have included a mix of domestic and international superannuation funds, family offices and endowments, the person said.
Australian private equity fund Anacacia Capital is poised to raise up to 150 million Australian dollars (US$156.5 million) for its second fund.
The second fund, Anacacia Partnership II, follows the footsteps of the group's maiden fund which has US$55 million under management.
Research firm Preqin, which ranked firms on funds raised during the period 2006–2008, named Anacacia Partnership I as the world's best-performing private equity fund in 2011. That fund–achieving a 58% annual gross internal rate of return-has six remaining investment companies, including language services provider Appen Butler Hill, audio service provider Norwest Productions and baby food supplier Rafferty's Garden.
Anacacia's founder and managing director Jeremy Samuel spoke to Deal Journal Australia about his intentions for the second fund, the merits of taking six months to do due diligence and the types of businesses Anacacia targets.

While our survey did not include every hedge fund manager around the world, the data suggests that, as an industry, hedge funds are spending more than USD2.98 billion on regulatory compliance, including technology, headcount and third-party vendors.
In particular, respondents noted the high costs of AIFMD authorization and reporting. Almost half (46 percent) of all respondents impacted by AIFMD rated the cost of compliance as 'high' and a further third (33 percent) rated it as 'medium'.
SEC registration and reporting was identified as the second most costly regulatory requirement to comply with: more than four in ten (42 percent) of those who have registered or are in the process of registering with the SEC deem compliance costs to be 'high' with only slightly fewer (40 percent) characterizing their costs as 'medium'.
Other regulatory requirements are soaking up even more time. More than 20 percent of those required to complete the SEC's Form PF said they spent more than 500 hours preparing and filing their initial submission; nine percent said they spent a similar amount of time registering with the CFTC/NFA; and seven percent of those registered with an Asia-Pacific regulator said they also spent more than 500 hours preparing and registering under their requirements.
On the positive side, the addition of new resources and sharpening of focus on regulatory compliance and risk management suggests that hedge fund managers around the world are committed to ensuring that they meet not only the high regulatory burden, but also the heightened demands of their institutional investors.

T-Mobile axes BlackBerry 10 in-store stock
T-Mobile USA will no longer stock BlackBerry smartphones in-store, with a carrier exec arguing that poor sales meant it was now "inefficient" to have phones on-hand. Despite BlackBerry's best efforts to push BlackBerry 10, the platform - and devices like the Q10 and Z10 that run it - has failed to gain significant traction. Now, T-Mobile executive vice president for corporate services David Carey has confirmed to Reuters that the dwindling interest means in-store stock will no longer be held.

A couple of weekends ago I went to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to visit one of my best friends and watch the University of Michigan softball team take on Michigan State and Northwestern. I saw four games and quickly fell in love with the Michigan softball program.
They play amazing softball. They have one of the most legendary coaching staffs in the game. The Wolverines have a rich tradition that they revere and make a point to celebrate. This season they opened and dedicated one of the nicest softball stadiums in the nation. They have a loyal, fun fan base of which I am glad to now be a part.
The Wolverines crushed Michigan State in the two games I watched. Two grand slams, several home runs and a mercy-rule ending. It was one of the most potent offensive displays I have ever seen.
The two games against Northwestern were quite the opposite. Low scoring, decided by one run and the teams split. Not only hard-fought duels between top-20 teams and conference rivals, but the outcome was to decide who took the Big Ten conference lead and, therefore, who would host the conference tournament. I took this video below of Michigan coming back in the bottom of the seventh inning to win the second game and maintain their share of the lead conference standingsit was intense:
Since the standings were still tied at the end of regular season and their respective run differentials were also equal, a coin toss would decide which co-conference champ would host the Big Ten tournament. Northwestern won the toss and is hosting the tournament that opens today.
I have a lot of respect for Northwesterns program having competed against them several times in the cross-town rivalry at Loyola Chicago. But this weekend Ill be pulling for No. 2 Michigan to pull out the win over top-seeded Northwestern. Go Blue!

text: As gaming has progressed over the years, one of the numerous trends I've noticed has been the surprisingly high amount of anti-hero protagonists who have popped up throughout many genres. These characters are still the heroes of their tales and while they are not villain protagonists, the thing that defines an anti-hero is that they do not always decide to take the kindest option available. Be it a predictably tragic past or experiences that have simply hardened the heart, these "heroes" all perform their share of questionable acts.

According to a recent Reuters-Ipsos opinion poll, 60 percent of the American public opposes intervention in the civil war in Syria.
In 1928, nations adopted the Geneva Protocol, which banned the use of chemical weapons. In 1969 the United Nations General Assembly verified the Geneva Protocol as international law. Syria is a member of the U.N. Since 1968, Syria has been a party to the Geneva Protocol.
No principle or treaty provides a basis for the United States to attack Syria to enforce the international ban on use of chemical weapons. The US should work with the U.N. to determine an appropriate international reaction to the events in Syria. The first step would be to find out what actually happened.
Article One, Section Eight of the U.S. Constitution states "Congress shall have power … to declare war." Unilateral action by the U.S. to bomb Syria would be an act of war, which must be authorized by Congress. If the president continues to head foolishly towards unilateral military action, Congress should do their job and intervene.

Grits are a naturally gluten free classic Southern staple, both as a savory stick-to-your-bones breakfast food and as a tasty side dish. Traditionally served with shrimp, grits are essentially coarsely ground cornmeal that is cooked until soft, similar to polenta. Great as both a hearty breakfast alternative to hot cereal or as a delicious side dish, grits are relatively easy to prepare and perfect in a pinch! Here is a great roundup with 5 of my favorite vegetarian and gluten free Southern-style grits recipes!
Creamy White Corn Grits with Chanterelle Mushrooms
Grilled Corn Grits
This super simple recipe adds a touch of sweet summer corn to traditional yellow grits!
Spicy Chipotle Greens with Buttermilk Grits
Kick things up a notch with chipotle-spiced greens (collard, mustard, kale, chard, beet greens - your choice!) over creamy-salty buttermilk grits - yum!
Creamy Grits with Crispy Leeks and Leek Jus and Cilantro-Epazote Pesto
This fabulous recipe not only walks you through a delicious side dish, but also includes how to make a quick Leek Jus sauce and homemade spicy pesto!
Cheesy Grits Chiles Rellenos with Roasted Tomato Gravy
Possibly the ultimate in Mexican comfort food, chiles rellenos get a makeover with Southern flair!

There he goes again. To the ranks of the unemployed.
Keith Olbermann, the liberal TV commentator got fired from yet another gig. This time it was from the upstart Current channel, run by former Vice President Al Gore.
Olbermann originated "Countdown" on MSNBC (where he was also fired) and brought it to Current, liberal bias intact.
The show was easy to watch because of Olbermann's witty and sardonic handling of any and all stories. The writing was almost always sharp, and his commentaries were well thought-out, if a bit pompous at times.
Olbermann showed early signs he was fed up at Current. His usual sign-off at both MSNBC and Current was "Good night, and good luck," which he borrowed from one of his broadcast TV idols, Edward R. Murrow, a news broadcasting titan in the Golden Age of Television, the 1950s.
For several weeks prior to his firing, he signed off with "Congratulations for getting through another day of this crap." If you wondered whether he meant that to mean all the news items of the day or the show itself, you have your answer now.
Worse, after Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" last month, Olbermann showed how he wears his bleeding heart on his sleeve: For the sake of civility, he put his trademark "Worst Persons in the World" segment on hiatus. It was arguably the most popular segment of his show. Think David Letterman no longer doing his Top Ten Lists.
Speaking of Letterman, Olbermann has been a frequent guest on his "Late Show" over the past year, and Dave always joked about Keith's over-sized head. Apparently he needs one to house his giant ego.
Olbermann is in the tank for Obama, but the politician he might most resemble ego-wise is Newt Gingrich.
Olbermann's image is that of a sarcastic personality who is too smart for his own good. He came to celebrity as an ESPN sportscaster ("They're not gonna get him!") and had a cult following with "Countdown" over at MSNBC. Before going there, he worked briefly as a host of a Fox Sports show.
You guessed it. His ego conflicted with Rupert Murdoch's ego. End to that story.
Olbermann brought his arsenic-laced criticism of Fox News and Murdoch with him to both "Countdown" ventures.
True, Fox News dismembers the facts and deserves to be attacked and often. But the fact is, Foxholes are persistent and consistent. Sure they drink the Kool-Aid and they're corporate lackeys, but they're reliable and never let their fan base down.
On Tuesday, one of those Fox News lackeys, Sarah Palin, will co-host the "Today" show and "Countdown" won't be there Tuesday night to rake her over the coals.
Olbermann keeps making the mistake that it's him and not his show, which is a unique news program that's smart, witty and controversial.
So is there life for "Countdown" somewhere else? Spike TV? BBC America? Bravo?
Maybe Keith Olbermann can find new life on Oprah's network.
It's called OWN. As in no fault but his….

Dakine Go-Go Backpack
I absolutely love this backpack! I use it as a purse, it holds a lot, but it is not as big and bulky as a regular size backpack. I love the cute flower patterns it comes in too. I can't wait to buy another one!!

Passing Strange: A Gilded Age Tale of Love and Deception Across the Color… (edition 2010)
by Martha A. Sandweiss
Work details
Passing Strange by Martha A. Sandweiss
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I was quite excited about this book, but I gave up a few chapters in. I found that what could have been an exciting story was written in as dull a way as possible. It could not sustain my interest. So disappointing - the story itself is intriguing.
I read this as a Book Club selection. Had it been for any other reason I would have abandoned it after 50 pages. The whole story could have been covered in a short essay!
I review this book, among others, in my blog at http://jacksonville.com/opinion/blog/480022/justannesopinion/2011-07-10/recommen...
This book deserves a much wider audience among Library Thing members. A love story, a detective story, and a tale of deception that demonstrates that truth is stranger than fiction. I am surprised it has not been adapted for a movie -- Clarence King was an important figure in American history and the fact he was living a double life makes this compelling reading!
An unusual tale of a well-known scientist, explorer and government official leading a double life in late 19th Century New York -- passing for black to marry a woman born a slave in Georgia.
Unearthing this story was no easy feat for the author, who had tried to encourage her students to tackle the job themselves, before deciding to give it a try. Although Clarence King's life was well documented, fleshing out Ada Copeland was more difficult. Scant documents are available for people born into slavery. But using census and court records -- along with large dose of informed speculation -- the author makes Ada and the love story come to life. Any genealogist who has tried to track down information about elusive ancestors will find the author's determination to present a balanced account amazing.
Written in a straightforward style without footnotes to interrupt the narrative, Passing Strange is an easy and interesting read for those of who are not historians. But extensive back notes provide all the documentation anyone could ask for. I'm going to suggest this one for the non-fiction readers' group at my library.

"Passing Strange" is a uniquely American biography of Clarence King, who hid a secret from his Gilded Age cohorts and prominent family: for 13 years he lived a double life--as the celebrated white explorer, geologist, and writer King and as a black Pullman porter and steelworker named James Todd.… (more)

Powertool's Melbourne Invasion
Melbourne is about to experience an invasion of New Zealand musicians later this week, as Powertool Records are bringing three of their finest acts to Melbourne this July. From July 9th to 18th, venues across Melbourne will reverberate to an eclectic mix of New Zealand music, from the psychedelic swamp rock of Brother Love, to a unique brand of avant garde pop and "eclectotronica" courtesy of Gold Medal Famous, and the alternative pop genius of Vorn. Levitating Churches, Miniatures, Eli and Bev, Ninety Nine and Kakariko round out the Australian supports. However we must note that Levitating Churches features erstwhile ex-pat New Zealander Matt Alien (Slavetrader). Artist/musician Mia Schoen will also be doing a rare live performance, as will Matt Middleton (originally from New Zealand as well) under his legendary Crude moniker. Find the tour dates here.
New Release Fanfare

With her 2014 anti-bullying song 'One Voice' travelling the world, 16-year old Cantabrian Nakita Turner is embarking on another campaign; releasing a debut EP as an independent artist.

'All That A Man Can Do' – Tony Lee gives back with new single
Hamilton based singer/songwriter Tony Lee writes authentic salt of the earth songs with heartfelt lyrics. An artist with passion and an understanding of hooks and melodies, Tony Lee's music has evolved over the years from being in various rock bands to focusing on a solo career. His brand new single 'All That A Man Can Do' is a compelling track that flows with a punk rock edge and Celtic twist. The accompanying video is a funny, poignant animation created by UK award winning animator Neil Whitman who is known for his work with Robbie Williams and Chris Rea. The video portrays an unlikely superhero with the best of intentions whose actions seem to be forever misconstrued. View 'All That A Man Can Do' video here. All digital sales from Lee's single will be donated to brave 2-year old cancer patient, Mason Cowen, the son of Lee's good friends and former flatmates. 'All That A Man Can Do' is now available for purchase via iTunes.
Imagine This releases compelling new music video for 'Find A Way'
New Zealand based rapper/songwriter/producer Imagine This effortlessly bridges the boundaries between genres such as hip hop, trap, glitch, ghetto funk and house music. The sophisticated new video for his inspired latest single 'Find A Way' was directed by Ollie Dale of Virtually Famous. The video converges upon the blood sweat & tears of several New Zealand athletes including Jalin Möhlenbrock who is currently Nation Champion on the Uneven Bars, Tony Angelov, WMC NZ Professional Heavyweight Champion 2011 and owner operator of City Lee Gar Gym and lastly, Muaythai fighter Oscar Remihana. View 'Find A Way' here on YouTube. Orphan furnished the beat for 'Find A Way' while kiwi vocalist Gemma Copas lent her soulful voice to the track. Imagine This has climbed bestseller and popular download charts around the world with 'Apply the Pressure', 'Shake It Out' and 'To Get Ya' all reviewed and awarded 8/10 in Mixmag (UK) in 2013. The Imagine This EP Back From the Dead was charted by both A-Trak and Diplo before being added to the BBC Radio 1 regular playlist in 2013 and his track 'Funk I'm Kickin' was Number 1 on Juno Records (UK) for 3 weeks. 'Find A Way' is now available for download on Soundcloud.
Michael Houstoun With The Rodger Fox Big Band – Concerti
It may seem an incongruous pairing on the face of it, but Michael Houstoun and Rodger Fox have something vital in common – a passion for music, and it shows. Their first recording together, Concerti, is comprised of four substantial arrangements for jazz orchestra and concert piano, straddling two worlds in celebration of a common musical language. The combination of Michael Houstoun at the Steinway piano and Rodger Fox's suave trombone, with special guests and his Big Band in fine form, is a rare treat for listeners. A movement of Prokofiev's famous third Piano Concerto bristles in this arrangement by Grammy award-winning Bill Cunliffe (USA) for an 18-piece Big Band. Two other arrangements by Cunliffe, Fox's long-time friend and masterful collaborator, will be new to listeners but not for long. David Lisik, Rodger's colleague and a composer at Te Kōkī New Zealand School of Music, has arranged a Mike Nock work for this album. Read more…
Reuben Bradley – Cthulhu Rising
Dark and mystical, the nightmarish tales of famed horror author H. P. Lovecraft set the tone for Reuben Bradley's bold new album on Rattle Jazz. Cthulhu Rising employs a musical language that is markedly different to those demonstrated on Reuben's previous Rattle Jazz releases, the Tui Award-winning Resonator (2011) and the Tui nominated Mantis: The Music of Drew Menzies (2012). Featuring two- time Grammy-nominated pianist Taylor Eigsti (USA), and equally renowned ex-pat bass player Matt Penman (NZ/USA), this new album is a treat for lovers of beautifully constructed, superbly played contemporary jazz. The compositions themselves are mostly through-composed, creating an atmosphere that puts listeners in 'the space' as much as in the notes. There's a sense of fantasy and demise that Lovecraft fans will savour, and jazz fans will relish. Read more…
Phil Broadhurst Quintet – Panacea
This new album from Phil Broadhurst is the third instalment in what he loosely describes as his 'Dedication Trilogy'. Where Delayed Reaction celebrated the life and career of Michel Petrucciani, and Flaubert's Dance paid homage to a number of the artists who have influenced his writing and performing (from Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett to Many Katché, Elaine Elias and Tomaz Stanko), the music on Panacea springs from the often-unconscious influences that form the building blocks of a composition. Phil says that these derive not only from the wide jazz landscape explored in his radio programme "The Art of Jazz", but also from experiences arising from playing and teaching. "These pieces are dedicated to a number of NZ jazz musicians I've had the pleasure of working with who have passed away in recent years like Beaver and Tony Hopkins. Panacea is a tribute to a fine exponent of jazz- fusion, the late guitarist Martin Winch. The tune is named after the band I co-led with him in the late 70s…Pukeko becomes an homage to Jimmy Rowles' classic jazz ballad "The Peacocks", a connection realised only after the tune was completed, while Knee Lever refers to a component of Neil Watson's newly acquired pedal steel guitar. Japanese Shadows is adapted from a theme written for my son Cameron's film of the same name." Read more…
Ron Samsom And The Neutrino Funk Experience – Ace Tone
A regular sideman on numerous Rattle Jazz releases, Ron Samsom's first album as band leader is an affectionate, no-holds-barred, pumping homage to 70s jazz funk. Ace Tone bristles with energy and attitude – on every level, this album kicks! There is confidence to burn from every one of the talented collaborators on Ace Tone, confidence that stems from years of application and understanding, but more importantly a deeply intuitive, visceral connection with the propulsive heart of hard-grooving jazz. But what makes this music truly infectious and wholly authentic is the passion and warmth at it's core, the sheer joy of groove, and grit, and pump! Read more…
Flying Out newies
There are a few short form releases this week, including Dudley Benson's Muscles EP (as above), a Disco Mix 12″ from Lord Echo and California's DJ Day, and a new EP from Rob Aickin. There's a handful of new singles too, including a new tune from an undeniable legend in the form of Bic Runga, the debut single from Yoko-Zuna featuring Team Dynamite, "Crazy" from Ed Waaka, and "B.A.D." from Tipene. And you can now pre-order the new Marlon Williams album on LP, along with "New Gold Mountain".

Facebook Launches a Complicated Video Monetization Program
by Nina Ulloa of Digital Music News
(Updated 7/3/15 10:30 AM PST: Facebook is negotiating to bring major labels music videos to news feeds. "Let's hope Facebook also plans on bringing in indie labels", says DMN.)
News recently came out that Facebook was in talks with major labels. Now Facebook's video monetization plan is here. Facebook will split revenue from video ads with creators. The split is the same as YouTube, 55% goes to creators and 45% goes to Facebook.
Before you get all excited about your newfound revenue, realize that Facebook's algorithm is pretty complicated. According to Fortune, ads will only be shown when Facebook mobile users watch multiple suggested videos in a row. Ads will play between videos, and the money will be split between the creators of the videos that came before and after the ad.
For example, say Company A has a 3 minute video, then an ad plays, then a one minute video from Company B plays.
Company A would get 3/4 of 55% = 41.25% of revenue. Company B would get 1/4 of 55% = 13.75% of ad revenue.
The new revenue program is starting with a few dozen partners, including Funny or Die, NBA, Fox Sports, and others.

Will take a look at a menu as well we talk about the caps have a lot going on it's actually actually tree in the first round pick short for our. -- man who -- helped Chicago won a couple years ago. Looks like trying to deal while Bob Bob what's his future holes what's his deal and armor yards -- me -- with the first one. -- so when -- -- we surprises me. Towards the future of personal particular batter of 25 of them to call -- yeah surprising George McPhee said himself yesterday at a press conference that. He wasn't expecting to necessarily make a deal -- named Troy bring our only came up a couple of days before the draft but. I like the deal lot of big -- a little bit of little bit and nasty. The league -- mentioned that yesterday at the wizards' press conference from the introduce Chris Singleton -- -- little bit nasty little defense of style to win a championship capitals of maybe black bat then over the past years having to bring in it for Broward -- plays a physical game. Was fifth in the league in hits. Capitals haven't had too many of those guys to complement the real skill guys. I like the move for Troy Brown or for that reason -- your thoughts. -- hill paid. That we came out the other day -- strategy you know it's to go with the best available and Louise sad. He had gone out and sad that this is a weaker draft you know when we question whether or not. You know technically -- -- summer anything like that but. You truly and He went with the best available at that panic which is what you know when He enters the that's available and I think it also speaks of the fact that. Maybe it is He feels that this is a year or you know we are close in Washington. Q becoming a cup contender to just that much closer so why go with somebody that you're going to need to develop for a couple of years. When you can go with somebody who has already wandering. You're gonna get close and they -- I've been here and that's over four years. Now there. So what's gotten out -- -- could happen and really that's funny you bring in a guy and who has the Stanley Cup and I'm like Mike Knuble was a real rolled up player back in 1998 at least. -- -- Stanley Cup a little bit more recently had a big role on that team though. You know maybe you want a few more rings on the team but if you're gonna have limited amount Troy Brown is -- Yong. Now we're talking about forty or at 24 years old right. And what's interesting to me we're talking and -- later additions people have done well brow or seventh round and -- the drafts now. Very interesting player on there I'm excited for it they're well yeah. Fine and good stuff there was C bought assignment only assume he's gonna get sucked right. Restricted free agent but coming off just -- one million dollar deal in Chicago bit of the bargain there. -- of the cap room while the mob restricted free agent much easier to sign in the -- restrict. It. I'll get at least -- -- he's gonna get a 100% increase that the way it works with the system but at least do somewhere in the two degree range. And then the other -- course looks like the ladies in DC. Very happy. C Jordan -- don't give -- give Bob looks like six Sixers 27 million dollars some people felt they overpay I scored sixteen goals. What you look at the market not a lot of followers there's thoughts of some other teams out there -- police were one. Her Minnesota's interest we're going to -- and what they're going to be well on the pay more. So your thought on how -- He was going to get a lot of money somewhere and as far as it being a lot of money might seem like a lot of money right now. Four and a half million dollar that a lot to me that that's just -- as me though it is a lot of money right now but the way the salary cap works is in 56 years four years from now afford to have million dollars. In the way the salary cap keeps going up every year it won't be as big a deal. It's a 3456. Years in the contract and as far as -- sixteen goals or like you said. I know it brings a lot of intangibles -- like. Good locker room guy if anything I was worried they were going to lose a mining capitals need more brooks likes it and not fewer and He brings the intangibles that maybe -- the quantify. But in this case for a half million a year is is. And that's less than blacks to steal a slot. I guess if you put it in perspective. -- no problem in the six year contract brooks like -- Well now he's a hard working. As -- health issues he's on the ice every single day I nightlife and the edge and I'm not. He's not going to be monsters are going to be on the Turkish Riviera and get a pretty miles out on the lake and -- that fishing I I think it's the guy that I am not hesitant to lock up for the long. I was surprised that there's I don't think there's any hometown discount that He was given out by. Why should you if you have leverage using the leverage goes against you if there was a point -- forwards on the market this year that squeezed on it and take last. And if it happens we're confident and more -- to -- that's the way it goes as this that. -- has this. You remember our -- he's brooks likes re -- who's gone. Not Bradley in my lose about Matt Bradley. Well they only have eight point nine million and space to play with and they still have to assign power rankings are talking I think collaborative effort and still after -- -- -- -- -- -- angles and go anywhere. And with also -- you're talking somebody who. Can command probably three and you know he's gonna get paid more mental -- Upper -- so that's leaving you with a little bit less than five million. You still have your -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Wasn't here for very long time but Jason -- second line center. A lot of talk now both brooks like yesterday and George McPhee acknowledged that it sounds like they're going to shift brooks like through the middle to center position. And that could mean the end of Jason -- here in Washington on Marco Sturm you know. Could be on the way out and Boyd Gordon has while Boyd Gordon I think is an interest in one does that up four points -- -- but. Go to what He does good at the faceoff good penalty killers so -- that's the one that that I could see him understand -- going the other ones though I would think unlikely that the stay here -- next. Or is as we talk while all the political positions -- -- loft could be going back to the NHL. Talking about that then it's going back. Is that the problem is asking me. Blinders as good as they decide who added this team because not a problem if you league's good riddance if He wants to go if anything now that seems to be an understanding right now if yeah Braden OP Michael avert. You don't mess that is not a desperate need to keep them here right now and if anything the capitals have the upper hand in that. Negotiating process by. As far as him wanting to go to the cage -- coming off the season with a knee injury George McPhee mentioned yesterday. The one thing you could say the seventh -- -- -- you look at Tim Thomas a guy who came into this season. Was coming off injuries and wasn't expected to be number one was competing with the young goalie himself. He could come back halama -- chooses to do so compete for the number one job and yet it. -- I've gotten exactly but. Ultimately it's his decision and if they've gone this far you would think that. He's he's I'm sort of person that says that these guys yet our guys can win for what it's. Well with that I mean maybe perhaps I think Michael my effort needs to -- so what I want to seize nor ever at getting the reps this coming season. Or another you know maybe another goaltending battle I don't. I haven't completely dismiss our -- I think. He needs a season -- he's healthy and He needs to prove it that He is a starter in the NHL. And then make him a starter. The caps have some. But He can you all season has an interest in -- bargaining -- -- him you know it credit He hasn't about a decade count. You want to take money then fine and that's really important for the caps in that situation because He -- as McCain tell. -- getting up and otherwise they can use hand use another and this but I think might go down. Use another high salaried person. In these few days and we. In that trade in my country geared down and what's interesting about next 120. I don't I don't activity you'll achieve any contingency and a better six point seven for number it's funny it. Medium my Greene -- someone like that a lot of people during his name around but it makes sense if you look at money and you look at Mike Green. There up next year for new contract rights and you have my Green making just north of five million. And so. Excellent player there not as much as. On. In my column had case it. Yeah that would be examined by. There are some issues there there's there's wrists with either as players as -- sound about excellent players in the NHL I think that coupled with the Harlem. Make for some -- is that that trade they'd keep you always good for a goaltender if they think he's the guy who might be enough to make them take on. Another contract otherwise like absolutely. And very quickly to that point very quickly. As far as do they have the guys in the -- right now who could take the next level I think some big Margaret that I think I'm OK with him in the goalie and hopi back him up and as far as teams taking on salary there's a few teams right now that actually need to reach the salary floor yeah there are teams that are actually looking on. To taking a lot of money now some of those teams in the capitals. Division the Panthers and Hurricanes who -- they'd wanna deal with those names but there -- teams you're gonna see some outrageous contracts over the next couple weeks -- that reason it's just -- teams are just trying to reach the -- the got him into Dallas well. Depend where that -- who comes in it's not a formula for too -- -- -- Izturis Taylor at CSN Washington coming off that. You could see teams maybe -- a little more have to get there or we're going offers a -- otherwise what. Let me let me go to the -- doctor and got it capitals -- one day I laid down on the job Albert -- -- style when He was here He went over now he's coming back. Coming from AKA Joseph deal for some of -- of going to the K tell your choreographer. Back to the NHL not Washington don't worry about that -- or not sounds like it's coming down to Pittsburgh in the Detroit Red Wings then died it was just hearing on on Toronto radio this morning actually it sounds like -- 120 million dollars to go play in Pittsburgh. My hair out one year two million dollars wants to. -- wants to I guess and make nice make up with the folks in Pittsburgh that have that reputation -- there and of course. Let's not kid ourselves that would -- Stanley Cup possibility if you -- to him never sold his house there. Level that's all it can be 39 years old now if I apply. He's playing him and here's the thing with Pittsburgh their depleted on the way so and I actually and that little. Deals of the right now I am raised by Pittsburgh father's. Pittsburg as far as it. If you can go and and I asked I asked. If he'd be equally younger coming back because I was raised to hate younger from the Pittsburgh. But -- -- on the wings into the mix and what He gives you cancer in the locker and when I -- I'd get them I think couples that if you learn and your love you guys think and and skewing younger and like I said adding it was a bit of -- -- in the locker -- a lot of people didn't want to put up with at. He checked out whining there was a lot of that going on south. I don't know I. It prompted me one time when I was in Prague as a young person who has shown on Chargers need to make a face disgusting isn't. -- -- And I'll probably out at ten out of locker room guy here in Washington when He was here but the difference is earlier in his career Pittsburgh and Washington He was He was the man who scored -- -- He goes to Pittsburgh. He's made a little bit more taking a backseat to Crosby to Malkin and and just go and now when He -- play -- very good Olympic years ago played very well. It was just good to know Kellie -- capable equally for the fourth of. Overseas this year's team. -- -- A lot of people do that deal will get that I spread batter happens to the other interesting thing about younger going to Pittsburgh now -- -- -- -- if they don't have Crosby back immediately. More interests in at night they're gonna lose their fans at any point buy into sacks or is it gives it a little more -- -- little more something with younger back more recent. For folks in this area to dislike -- what you want to boo He wants to cheer just like LeBron James and what I don't imagine him. How we're gonna wrap it up this great stuff you guys could stop CSN Washington dot com for all your capitals and he's everything else while. You know watching the balls -- today at 5 o'clock replay at 1030. Mike wise of the post is on. -- rock from Kevin robbery was going to be great debating and I wanna I wanna Alex Rodriguez should be interest in. You have late afternoon. -- wash people's lives.

Orioles right fielder Chris Davis continued his recent tear at the plate Monday night in the Orioles' 5-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field.
Davis' two-run homer in the ninth off Rays reliever Kyle Farnsworth, his career-high 32nd of the season, was his sixth homer in five games. He's now homered in five consecutive games, the first Oriole to accomplish the feat since Melvin Mora on Sept. 30, 2005 to April 5, 2006.

It's also largest consecutive-game homer streak in the same season since Reggie Jackson homered in six straight games on July 18-23, 1976.
The only other major league players to homer in five straight games over the past two years are White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski (July 30-Aug. 5, 2012), Rangers catcher Mike Napoli (April 15-21, 2012) and White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko (June 17-21, 2011).
Davis' homer did have its share of controversy. His ball hit the C-ring of the Trop's catwalk and was ruled a two-run homer initially, then upheld after an umpire gathering. If a ball hits the bottom two rings of the catwalk -- the C-ring or D-ring -- in fair play, it is a home run.
Earlier in the day, Davis was named the American League Co-Player of the Week, along with Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander. Over his last 10 games, Davis is hitting .444 (16-for-36) with six homers, two doubles, four walks and 12 RBIs.

Trolling Motor Power Center
Aug 22, 2009
By D. Dahlke
I'm very pleased with this box. It's not weak or flimsy and has molded in lift handles on each end. Its inside dimensions are 13"L X 7"W X 9"H. The vented cover has access for cables on either end and has a pretty sturdy handle attached that will tip down and lay flat and includes a steel backing plate inside for reinforcement and strength. Inside the cover is a plastic plate covering the internal wiring but can be easily accessed by removing two small screws in the cover. Underneath is the trolling motor terminal wiring, the circuit breakers, and the 12 AWG wiring for the accessory terminals. On top of the cover the battery charge indicator light illuminates when you press the test button. Instructions are also printed on the cover. The 10 AMP circuit breaker is wired to both cigarette lighter style accessory terminals, one on each end, and the 60 AMP circuit breaker is wired for the trolling motor accessory terminals. Also includes a nice sturdy belt to hold the cover on with and easy to use connector, not a buckle, and a pair of plastic hold down brackets if you need them. This box is very well thought out and built for its intended purpose. I can't think of anything else I'd want from it.

Great battery holder for boats without built in battery tray
Nov 19, 2009
By V. Menides "Rich"
Purchased this battery holder for my 14' Jon boat. I have a 55 MinnKota trolling motor and a fish finder which hook up easily with this holder. You get every thing you need with 2 circuit breakers one for your trolling motor and one for accessories that plug into the 2 cigarette lighter plugs. I had to make a power cable for my portable fish finder, so it could be plugged in. Test button on top tells you how much charge you have left in your battery. Sturdy case that makes it easier to carry a 50lb deep cycle battery.
I highly reccomend for any need where you are using a heavy duty battery that you will be moving from place to place. I will also be using this to power my 3000lb utility winch. For 110 volt power I hook up my inverter to this power center.

Very useful
Oct 21, 2011
By Amazon Customer
I use this to store a spare auto battery in my car's trunk. FYI - there are two circuit breakers, one 10 amp for the two cigarette lighter sockets and one 60 amp for the screw terminals. There's also a voltage monitor - press the yellow "test" button and you get a 4 LED readout of the battery voltage:
no LED's = less than 9 volts
one red "Recharge" LED = 9 to 12 volts
two red LED's = 12.1 to 12.2 volts
two red and yellow "1/2" LED = 12.3 to 12.4 volts
all 4 LED's (including green "Full" LED) = 12.5 volts and up
The positive battery terminal cable terminator is ring terminal 11/16" across with a 3/8" hole. The negative battery terminal cable terminator is ring terminal 11/16" across with a 5/16" hole.
The positive battery screw terminal is .365" across, suitable for a 3/8" ring/spade terminal. The negative battery screw terminal is .31" across, suitable for a 5/16" ring/spade terminal.

Great product
Aug 27, 2009
By L. A. Kane
Very well designed. Fits group size 24 and 27 batteries. Keeps the battery dry with a sturdy plastic box and you safe with a built-in circuit breaker. There's a 12-volt accessory jack built in along with two manual reset circuit breakers, a 15-amp for acccessory plugs and a 60-amp for the trolling motor itself. The screw down's on the front work great, but you need to remove them to recharge the battery with a clamp-type charger, but that's less hassle than removing the battery from the case to recharge. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great Emergency Power Pack
Sep 05, 2010
By TANSTAAFL "TANSTAAFL"
I bought this for emergency backup power(hurricane, etc.).
With a 56 amp-hour deep cycle battery and a small DC to AC inverter Duracell 813-0291-07 175 Watt DC to AC Pocket Power Source Inverter, it provided enough power for 15 nights of light with a 2-5 watt LED bulb, or a couple of days running a small fan O2Cool 1078 Indoor/Outdoor Battery/AC-Powered 10-Inch Portable Fan.
The whole package is light enough with the current 40 pound battery (unit is designed for a slightly larger type 24 or 27 battery) for my wife to move if needed, but I also purchased a small fold-up luggage cartSamsonite Compact Luggage Cart to make it easier to move.
To keep the battery charged, I picked up a Battery Minder Plus.
I'm very pleased with the unit. It appears sturdy. The re-settable breakers (rather than fuses)are a nice touch, avoiding potential problems with finding replacement fuses in an emergency. The plastic screw caps on the exterior terminals seem serviceable and a nice safety feature. The built in side handles work well.
The next step would be to add a small solar panel and controller. Adding even a 10 or 20 watt panel would be enough to support LED lights almost indefinitely, and (particularly with a slightly larger battery) would make a nice solution for remote cabin type lighting.
All in all, a very nice package for emergency backup power.
