Wedged between the two arms of Cook Inlet and the imposing Chugach Mountains, Anchorage is home to over forty percent of Alaska's population and is the state's transport hub. A sprawling city on the edge of one of the world's great wildernesses, it often gets bad press from those who live elsewhere in the state and deride it as "just half an hour from the real Alaska." However, it has its attractions and, with its beautiful setting, can make a pleasant one- or two-day stopover.
Anchorage was born in 1915 as a tent city for Alaska Railroad construction workers. During the 1930s, hopefuls fleeing the Depression poured in from the Lower 48, and World War II – and construction of the Alaska Highway – further boosted the city. The opening of the airport established Anchorage – midway between New York and Tokyo – as the "Crossroads of the World," and statehood in 1959 and the 1970s oil boom brought in yet more optimistic adventurers.
Weather | Add to Trip | Add Photos |
A mix of the familiar and the unusual, the metropolitan and the rustic, Anchorage is a place where it is not uncommon to see moose walking through the parking lot of a downtown skyscraper, or to find yourself stuck in traffic as dogs fill the road at the beginning of the Iditarod sled dog race.
Government Hill
The oldest district and the northernmost part of Anchorage, Government Hill was one of many places to feel the destruction of the 1964 earthquake. When 400 feet of its bluff collapsed, it destroyed a school and dropped the railroad yard and shipyard by 30 feet. Only partially rebuilt, its shipyard has six fuel ports, which handle approximately 15 million barrels of petroleum each year. The Alaska Railroad Depot operates daily with freight and passenger service.
Ship Creek
Ship Creek was selected as the original tenting site of the pioneers who arrived in the area to build the railroad in 1914 and 1915. They first filled the area located nearby, the Ship Creek Viewing Platform , then spread north up to Government Hill.
Visitors who come during summer can experience the fun of amusement rides, car races and the Anchorage Weekend Market & Festival. Ship Creek is also a great place to be when the salmon are spawning, and it provides excellent salmon fishing, as approximately 9,000 king salmon spawn here yearly. The large parking lots used by fishermen in the summer play host to the ice sculpting contests held during February's Anchorage Fur Rendezvous.
An area teeming with activity and filled with high-rise buildings, businesses, restaurants and hotels, Downtown allows you to experience both the historic and the modern within the space of several blocks. From the small log cabin that houses the ACVB Log Cabin Visitor Information Center , you will find yourself in view of such hotels as the landmark Captain Cook Hotel , the Anchorage Marriott and the Hilton Anchorage . Several blocks away are glass-walled skyscrapers housing offices for multi-billion-dollar oil companies and other businesses. Nearby, the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts offers local and international opera, theater, dance, chorus and symphony performances. From that building's second floor, take the Fifth Avenue skyway to overlook the town square as you walk toward the Egan Convention Center . Here you'll also find the Anchorage Fifth Avenue Mall . Finally, don't miss Captain Cook's Resolution Park platform at the Inlet's edge. With the telescope available, you can close the 120-mile gap between yourself and Mt. McKinley and see why this 20,320-foot mountain is referred to as the "Great One."
In this "practical district," you will find schools, gas stations and grocery stores spread across an alluvial plane. There are many types of food here—from Greek and Italian to Chinese and Japanese—as well as a selection of busy nightclubs. Shopping choices here include the Recreational Equipment Inc. (R.E.I.) outdoor store, Barnes & Noble Bookstore and more. Meanwhile, such establishments as the Hampton Inn and SpringHill Suites Anchorage Midtown welcome guests to the area.
Spenard District—Central, West
Considered the "red light district" in the 1970s and 1980s due to the heavy presence of massage parlors and escort services, this area has since undergone a revitalization program that has cleaned up the area and brought in many new businesses. The closest thing to "bohemia" in Anchorage, this district is home to new cafes and juice bars such as the Organic Oasis . Some of the older Anchorage flavors remain, such as Chilkoot Charlie's , with its dirt floor and stump seating. An old-time local favorite is Gwennie's Old Alaskan Restaurant , an Alaskan-style restaurant. New hotels such as the Holiday Inn Express and older ones such as the Millennium Alaskan Hotel Anchorage conveniently serves visitors staying in the airport area.
South District
This trail-filled district begins at Dimond Boulevard, home to the Dimond Center and its more than 200 shops. The Siam Cuisine restaurant and the Southside Bistro provide the area with a couple of first-class, yet still casual, dining options. Pockets of business dot the residential areas, which are made up of wide yards and quiet streets. Campbell Creek Greenbelt winds its way through the South and Midtown districts, beginning at Dimond Boulevard and stretching three miles to the east, meanwhile passing by salmon-spawning streams and several small lakes. A number of residential areas circle bodies of water such as Campbell Lake , which is also a floatplane runway; many residents park their floatplanes in their "backyards" here.
Also in this district, on the far west end, is Kincaid Park . This locale is home to the Blues on the Green Festival, and it also hosts many other special events and races on its 40 square miles of beautiful, wild, moose-filled woods. You can access Kincaid Park by traveling from the downtown Tony Knowles Coastal Trail to its southernmost point, which ends at Kincaid Park .
University District—Central
Tucked between Midtown and Muldoon, this district is partly composed of the private Alaska Pacific University . It is spread over an expanse of nearly one square mile, which is home to two small lakes and a multitude of walking and biking trails. On these casual campuses, professors are nearly always referred to by their first names, while students sometimes cross-country ski to class. Many sky bridges and buildings are joined by hallways in order to help students escape the elements. The UAA campus is home to the popular UAA Seawolves hockey team, which recruits both international and local players onto its roster.
This blue-collar neighborhood contains the Alaska Native Heritage Center , the Alaska Botanical Garden and the attention-grabbing Saint Innocent Orthodox Cathedral, with its 12 onion-shaped domes. You will also find restaurants such as the vegetarian-friendly Thai Kitchen . Beyond this area, which acts as the northeastern boundary of Anchorage, lie the Fort Richardson and Elmendorf Air Force Bases as well as the city of Eagle River.
Downtown Anchorage is probably the best place in the city to dine out, with a large variety of restaurants gathered in one area. However, there are a lot of other options in this spread-out city, so as long as you have a car or a snow-machine, you won't go hungry.
The utmost in elegant dining can be found at the Marx Bros Cafe on West Third Avenue. For something more casual, try Simon & Seafort's Saloon , which has good, fresh food in a somewhat boisterous atmosphere. Another informal option is Glacier BrewHouse , with a number of microbrews available, along with dishes ranging from Alaskan-style seafood to pizzas and pastas. For something mid-range, head to Club Paris , serving seafood and steaks like the signature four-inch filet mignon. Though the restaurant is somewhat pricey, the portions are large enough to justify the added cost.
Other great options in the downtown area include the Solstice Bar & Grill , located in the Westmark Anchorage Hotel and offering cuisine similar to that at the Glacier BrewHouse . For lunch or breakfast, try the Snow City Cafe . After a show at the Performing Arts Center, get a bite to eat at the nearby Cafe Savannah which serves Spanish tapas and has a reasonably-priced wine list. When you're looking for a fancier night out, try the Crow's Nest on Fourth Street at the Captain Cook Hotel . Gaze out at Cook's Inlet and the Chugach mountains as you savor some of the area's best seafood. The sommelier can help you find the perfect wine to accompany your meal, from the restaurant's 10,000-bottle wine cellar.
Bars stay open fairly late in Anchorage, until 3a on Friday and Saturday nights. Though the weather gets very cold in the winter months, there are plenty of places that can help you warm up from the inside. One such establishment is Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse , a pub and restaurant with a great beer selection, plus live music and other events. Other bars include the fashionable Bernie's Bungalow Lounge and the more casual Darwin's Theory .
Midtown has a good variety of cuisine options, including everything from Indian food at Bombay Deluxe , an intimate, tranquil restaurant, to barbeque at the Sourdough Mining Company . Finer dining can be found at Jen's Restaurant , which serves over 40 wines by the glass, along with seafood and other entrees. Another good option is the Moose's Tooth Pub & Pizzeria , where you can try the signature pizzas and some beer. For a decidedly Alaskan meal, head to Arctic Roadrunner , which is decorated with kitschy Alaskan paraphernalia and serves burgers that are among the best in town.
Those staying near the airport will find a good selection of eateries to choose from. Alongside some newer hotels and businesses, some of the older Anchorage institutions remain, such as Chilkoot Charlie's , with its dirt floor and stump seating. An old-time local favorite is Gwennie's , an Alaskan-style restaurant that serves dishes such as sourdough pancakes and reindeer sausage. For other brunch choices, try the Flying Machine Restaurant at the Millennium Hotel . Budget travelers will be pleased by the prices at City Diner, which is known for its sandwiches. When you're looking for entertainment with your meal, head to the Bear Tooth Theater Pub , where you can watch a film (often arthouse or older releases) while you enjoy a pizza and some beer or wine.
Rest of Anchorage
The South District is home to the Siam Cuisine restaurant and the Southside Bistro , which provide the area with a couple of first-class, yet still casual, dining options. In the East-Northeast area, you can find restaurants such as the vegetarian-friendly Thai Kitchen .
Outside the city (Girdwood)
Outside the city, there are still a number of dining options. Girdwood has several good choices, such as the Double Musky Inn , which serves steak, seafood, and a nice selection of wine and beer. The Alyeska Resort is home to the Seven Glaciers Restaurant , which serves delicious food and has a good, if fairly pricey, wine list, plus epic views of glaciers.
Looking for a chance to experience the many opportunities available in Anchorage? You can observe the city's way of life, learn about its history and see many of the local attractions via the following list of tours, museums and activities.
Anchorage Museum of History and Art
The Anchorage Museum of History & Art has a five-story atrium and holds a complete collection of Alaskan art, spanning from prehistoric to contemporary times. If the performing arts are of interest to you, catch a classic performance at the Community Theater , following a fresh and delicious meal at the Southside Bistro . For music enthusiasts, check out a performance at the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra .
Alaska Native Heritage Center
Owned by First National Bank of Alaska, the Alaska Heritage Library Museum houses the largest private collection of rare Alaskan books and artwork. Free to the public and located in midtown, it holds more than 1,500 rare books, in addition to ancient Native American woven baskets, blankets, fur garments and a multitude of artifacts representing the area's indigenous peoples. While in the area, the Amsterdam Cafe is the perfect place to start your day or to take a lunch break. This local favorite has a delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. Continuing on with exhibitions of Alaskan Native culture, a larger showcase is contained in the Alaska Native Heritage Center in the northeast corner of Anchorage. Here you can learn about Alaskan Native traditions through interactive activities such as storytelling, tours of traditional villages, music and dance, videos and exhibits of Native artwork. Alaska Natives create traditional artworks on-site, ranging from carvings and bead work to jewelry and more. Instructional classes are also available, offering quick demonstrations on some of the techniques used to produce the artwork. Next, the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum contains restored airplanes and a fascinating collection of records about early bush pilots and their role in the development of Alaska. Mission logs from World War II, records of the first flights in arctic aviation, and more are all part of this collection. Many aviation enthusiasts will be in awe of Wiley Post's records of his solo flight around the world in 1933. To immerse yourself in more Alaskan history check out the Alaska Museum of National History .
Potter's March Bird Sanctuary
Whether or not you're a wildlife enthusiast, chances are most everyone visiting Anchorage will have the thrill of spotting a bald eagle. In fact, there are more eagles per capita here than in any other U.S. state. Nearby birding sites include the Potter's Marsh Bird Sanctuary which contains large flocks of wetland waterfowl. The area is part of a migratory corridor, and spring and fall bring a large number and wide variety of bird species for visitors to view. Also, another great site for bird watchers is around Lake Spenard . Just down the road from here is Gwennie's Old Alaskan Restaurant , serving up authentic Alaskan fare that is a local and tourist favorite. Another place to place to experience the great outdoors is the Alaska Botanical Garden . Then, just a short drive from Anchorage, is Eklutna Historical Park . This park will give you a glimpse at the 17th century Dena'ina Athabaskan people. Located here is St. Nicholas Church , which was built in the 1830s.
Alaska Zoo
While visiting Alaska prepare yourself for moose sightings, as Anchorage has the highest per capita moose population of any city in the U.S. For guaranteed sightings of Alaskan animals, you can travel north of Anchorage to a Reindeer Farm and the Musk Ox Farm. (These places are each within 50 miles of the city.) These attractions offer full views of the wildlife and, in some cases, opportunities to interact with the animals. Of course, if you are in search of more animal sightings, a visit to the Alaska Zoo is in order. Lastly, if you plan to head to downtown Anchorage, stop by Resolution Park , another great place to view the Alaskan range, including Mt. McKinley. Nearby you can also grab a refreshing drink at the Glacier BrewHouse .
Some companies provide charter trips for the purposes of sightseeing, bear viewing, fly-in fishing, glacier landings and more. The fishing guides can adeptly prepare you for a terrific fishing experience by providing all your gear, fishing demonstrations (if needed) and advice on the locations most likely to lead to a successful fishing trip. Catch all of Anchorage's best known sights, including informative glacier tours.

We Robot: Third Annual Robotics & Law Conference

I'm delighted to announce We Robot 2014, back at the University of Miami School of Law for its third year after a wonderful event at Stanford Law School last April.

Madness And Privacy Harm
By Ryan Calo • August 25, 2013 at 2:13 pm
Recent research suggests a new trend among paranoid schizophrenics: they believe they are secretly being taped by hidden cameras for purposes of a reality show. I don't know quite what to make of this "fascinating cultural illness," to use Carla Casilli's eloquent label. This population is presumably going to pick some premise for their delusion; what does it matter whether their imagined antagonist is a demon or a director? Read more » about Madness And Privacy Harm
Why Opt Out Of Tracking? Here's A Reason
By Ryan Calo • August 14, 2013 at 11:39 am
The Stanford Center for Internet and Society, where I am an affiliate scholar, is a thought leader on consumer privacy and a source for potential solutions. The CIS Cookie Clearinghouse, for instance, intends to publish lists of tracking cookies to block or allow based on objective, balanced criteria informed by consumer expectations. According to recent work by Daniel Solove and CIS affiliate scholar Woodrow Hartzog, Federal Trade Commission privacy enforcement is also trending toward upholding what consumers have come to expect regarding their data. Violating consumer expectations around privacy is probably itself a sufficient reason for intervention. Consumers who take steps not to be tracked, or who rely upon representations that they are not being tracked, shouldn't be. My new project, however, asks a different question: Why should consumers worry about being tracked in the first place? What exactly is the harm here? Read more » about Why Opt Out Of Tracking? Here's A Reason
No Trespass
By Ryan Calo • May 20, 2013 at 2:45 pm
When Florida v. Jardines, the case where an officer approached a house with a drug-sniffing dog, first came down, Orin Kerr and others noted that the Supreme Court majority never once used the word "trespass." The Jardines concurrence and dissent used the word, and the author of Jardines, Justice Scalia, had used "trespass" repeatedly in United States v. Jones from last term. So why doesn't he use the word in Jardines? Because there really is no trespass test? Because he has new clerks? Just a coincidence? Read more » about No Trespass
Judge Posner's Surveillance Argument Would Not Withstand An Economic Analysis
By Ryan Calo • April 30, 2013 at 2:55 pm
Judge Richard Posner took the occasion of the Boston bombing to remind us of his view that privacy should lose out to other values. Privacy, argues Judge Posner, is largely about concealing truths "that, if known, would make it more difficult for us to achieve our personal goals." For instance: privacy helps the victims of domestic violence achieve their personal goal of living free from fear; it helps the elderly achieve their personal goal of staying off of marketing "sucker lists;" and it helps children achieve their personal goal of avoiding sexual predators online.

Why Now Is A Good Time To Apply To Law School
Fewer people are applying to law school. They worry there will be no job waiting for them on the other side. And, indeed, some recent graduates are having a terrible time of it. Often, though, you see an increase in applications during economic slumps as students wait out the bad job market. Something, perhaps the beating law schools have been taking in the court of public opinion of late, is scaring folks off. Read more » about Why Now Is A Good Time To Apply To Law School

What Does It Really Matter If Companies Are Tracking Us Online?
"A new paper by professor Ryan Calo at the University of Washington goes the furthest I have seen in elucidating the potential harms of digital-ad targeting.

This is about protecting consumers from profit-seeking corporations, who are gaining an insurmountable edge in their efforts to get people to part with their money."

Yup, vote A Rodg for the cover.
S.I. member #432
Only this jinx do I respect, because it has taken down all of my favorite players.
If you're havin' code problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a glitch ain't one
FALSE, all of my problems are "gltiches."
I do not
MotorCityJoe- Since 2007: You talking to me?
Member #6583
Vote for A. Rodg.
The facts are out there. The jinx exists.
Darius Slay will be a star.
It is truly a jinx of epic proportions. I think one player in the past 15 years has made it through unscathed. That was Fitzgerald.... Everyone else has been injured, missed extended time or just plain sucked that year.
You can go back to every year and make a case, expect for Ray Lewis's year. I think his interception total was down and his team didn't make the playoffs, but overall he still have 145+ tackles and he missed either 1 or 0 games that year.
"Born to Golf, Forced to Work"
http://www.freep.com/article/2012041...70/1048/sportsPrior to 1999, the video game's namesake – former Oakland Raiders and Fox broadcaster John Madden – was primarily featured on the cover.
In 1999, San Francisco 49ers running back Garrison Hearst bestowed the cover.
Since 1999, a number of players have been on the cover and a vast majority have been plagued by injury, legal or performance troubles shortly thereafter.
Here is the list:
• 1999: 49ers' Hearst: The first known occurrence of the curse, Hearst broke his ankle on the first play from scrimmage in 1999, missed two full seasons and was never the same. Verdict: Cursed
• 2000: Lions' running back Barry Sanders: Hitting close to home, Sanders abruptly retired from football before training camp, falling short of the NFL career rushing record and sending the Lions into a decade-long tailspin of losing. Verdict: Cursed
• 2001: Titans' running back Eddie George: George stretched the myth of the curse by turning in a solid season – 939 yards rushing with five touchdowns – but also turning the ball over in the fourth quarter of the 2001 Divisional playoffs vs. the Baltimore Ravens. George bobbled a pass from Steve McNair, which was intercepted by Ray Lewis for a touchdown to seal the game. Verdict: Not cursed.
• 2002: Vikings' quarterback Daunte Culpepper: After a career year, Culpepper threw 23 interceptions and set the NFL record for most fumbles in a season. Verdict: Cursed
• 2003: Rams' running back Marshall Faulk: Faulk, a perennial 1,000 yard rusher, never eclipsed that mark after donning the cover and knee injuries limited him to 21 of 32 games during the 2002-03 seasons. Verdict: Cursed
• 2004: Falcons' quarterback Michael Vick: Vick broke his fibula in a preseason game and years later, the rest of the story plays out like this: Dogfights, jail, comeback. Verdict: Cursed
• 2005: Ravens' Lewis: Lewis didn't play a full season, instead hurting his wrist in Week 15. He also didn't intercept a pass for the first time in his career. Verdict: Not cursed
• 2006: Eagles' quarterback Donovan McNabb: McNabb suffered a sports hernia in the first game of the season and tore his ACL in Week 11 against the Titans. It was the third time in five years that McNabb was lost for the season with six or more games remaining. Verdict: Not cursed
• 2007: Seahawks' running back Shaun Alexander: The league's reigning MVP heading into the season, Alexander injured his foot during training camp and missed six games. Verdict: Cursed
• 2008: Titans' quarterback Vince Young: Young missed a game, but didn't sway above or below his statistics from the previous season. Verdict: Not cursed
• 2009: Packers' quarterback Brett Favre: Or is it Jets' quarterback Favre? The legendary signal-caller took to the cover with the impression that he was retired but instead, Favre came back with the Jets and was plagued by poor performance and poor judgment in text messaging. Verdict: Cursed
• 2010: Cardinals' wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Steelers' safety Troy Polamalu: Fitzgerald turned in a rock-solid season a year after Arizona fell in the Super Bowl to Pittsburgh, recording 97 receptions (third-most in his career) and 13 touchdowns (career-high). Meanwhile, Polamalu sprained his knee in the season opener and battled injuries the rest of the way. Verdict: Half-cursed
• 2011: Saints' quarterback Drew Brees: Brees threw twice as many interceptions as the season before and his quarterback rating dropped nearly 20 points as the Saints lost in the first round of the playoffs. Still, he played in all 16 games and made the Pro Bowl as a reserve. Verdict: Not cursed
• 2012: Browns' running back Peyton Hillis: After a breakout season in 2011, Hillis couldn't hold a candle to his previous year's stats, instead battling a hamstring injury, strep throat and clubhouse concerns with the Browns. As for the curse, Hillis told ESPN.com in December, "There's a few things that happened this year that made me believe in curses. Ain't no doubt about it." Verdict: Cursed
But from our vantage point, there is a doubt about the Madden curse. We doubt you want to see Calvin Johnson prove it wrong. So vote for Cam Newton.

Interpreter for Mandela Event: I Was Hallucinating The man accused of faking sign interpretation next to world leaders at Nelson Mandela's memorial has told The Associated Press that he has schizophrenia, had visions of angels coming into the stadium and was trying not to panic because there were "armed policemen around me." Thamsanqa Jantjie also said he has been violent in the past.
Top 10 Things to Know About Post-Mandela South Africa With the passing of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first democratically-elected president, Americans have tried to understand what he meant for that country, and for the world. While some are drawn to Mandela's role as a leader in the struggle against apartheid and the peaceful transition to constitutional democracy, others recoil at his socialist ideology and past use of violence, as well as South Africa's enduring problems. The following are ten key facts about South Africa that provide a balanced perspective on its progress in two decades of democracy. by Joel B. Pollak 7 Dec 2013
Pearl Harbor Ceremony Marks Bombing Anniversary About 2,500 gathered at Pearl Harbor on Saturday to remember those killed in the 1941 Japanese attack that launched the U.S. into World War II. from AP 7 Dec 2013
AP WAS THERE: Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor On Dec. 7, 1941, Eugene Burns, AP's chief of bureau in Honolulu, couldn't get out the urgent news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which drew the U.S. into World War II, because the military had already taken control of all communication lines. by Breitbart News 7 Dec 2013
British Target 'Islamic Extremists' British Prime Minister David Cameron said that he is willing to classify "Islamist extremism" as an ideology distinct from Islam in his country. He wants to use the same techniques Britain has used to target online pornography by easing the process for extremist material on the Internet to be reported and asking Internet providers to offer filters that block violent and extremist content. by William Bigelow 7 Dec 2013
Day of Infamy at Pearl Harbor Gen. Billy Mitchell, one of the fathers of the American Air Force, made the bold claim in 1925 that Japan would attack the militarily unprepared United States "by striking first at Hawaii, some fine Sunday morning." Most thought Mitchell was insane, his prediction ludicrous, and few had the desire for a new build-up of arms and military power. by Jarrett Stepman 7 Dec 2013
10 Rare and Unseen Pics After Pearl Harbor Exactly 72 years ago today, Japan launched more than 350 fighters, bombers, and torpedo planes against the U.S. naval base in Hawaii--a "date which will live in infamy," in the words of President Franklin Roosevelt. In fact, that Sunday morning is so seared into America's memory that the tumult of the weeks and months afterward is often overlooked. Here, on the 72nd anniversary of Pearl Harbor, LIFE.com presents rare and unpublished photos from Hawaii and the mainland, chronicling a nation's answer to an unprecedented act of war. by Breitbart News 7 Dec 2013
North Korea Deports US Tourist and Korean War Vet North Korea on Saturday freed an 85-year-old U.S. veteran of the Korean War after a weekslong detention, ending the saga of Merrill Newman's attempt to visit the North as a tourist six decades after he oversaw a group of South Korean wartime guerrillas still loathed by Pyongyang. from AP 7 Dec 2013

Mandela's Complicated Legacy Difficult to Celebrate for Cuban Exiles The passing of widely beloved South African icon Nelson Mandela has triggered an outpouring of grief and admiration from millions who benefited from his determination to end a corrupt system. But for the victims of Fidel Castro's autocracy, which Mandela lavished with praise, such celebration of his life is complicated. by Frances Martel 6 Dec 2013

Outfielder Curtis Granderson and the Mets have agreed on a four-year, $60 million contract, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
Granderson, 32, is coming off a season in which he was limited to 61 games due to a broken foreram in spring training and then a broken pinkie finger in midseason, both after being hit by pitches. He combined for 84 home runs the previous two seasons.
Granderson became expendable to the Yankees after they signed Jacoby Ellsbury from the Red Sox. There were rumors that the Sox might be interested in Granderson but were not interested in going to four years.
According to multiple reports Friday morning, the Mariners are close to signing free agent second baseman Robinson Cano to a long-term deal, despite stories earlier that the talks had broken down.
CBS Sports' Jon Heyman and ESPN's Jerry Crasnick both tweeted that the sides are moving toward a deal, with Crasnick quoting a source as saying reports of the breakdown are "inaccurate."
A New York Daily News story Friday indicated the talks had ended due to rapper/agent Jay-Z overplaying his hand. That story indicated the Mariners had offered eight years and $200 million and were willing to pay $225 million over nine years, but Mariners chairman/CEO Howard Lincoln "exploded" when Jay-Z asked for $252 million over 10 years.
The team was said to be questioning whether Cano really wanted to play in Seattle.
The Yankees reportedly have offered seven years at between $165 million and $170 million.

Columbus County will soon have a spare generator for its landfill gas reclamation project, thanks to a similar, but less successful effort in Rutherford County.
Columbus County commissioners on Monday approved the transfer of the generator from Rutherford County, and up-front spending of up to $6,786 to prepare a site at the old county landfill near Whiteville to support the generator.
Columbus County will get that money back, Public Utilities Director Kip McClary said in a memo to commissioners, from a State Energy Office grant that had funded Rutherford County's gas reclamation project.
Rutherford County's old landfill did not generate enough methane gas to make the electricity generating project work, Columbus County Manager Bill Clark said.
That prompted State Energy Office officials to offer the generator to Columbus County, to compliment two generators already approved for the local project.
That should insure that at least one generator runs continuously, usually two, even during maintenance, Clark said.
Columbus County is using methane generated by decomposing material in the old landfill to generate electricity, which is sold, and to heat greenhouses used for Southeastern Community College programs.

If approved, the expansion would be completed in fall 2016.
"We have been experiencing tremendous growth in the ED over the past few years," said Doug Doris, the hospital CEO. "... As the volume continues to increase it became clear it was time to plan and invest in the expansion project to continue providing the highest quality of care to our patients."
The group looking at the future of Moore County's Veterans Memorial is scheduled to meet Wednesday.
