PITTSBURGH, Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tier1, Inc. announced today the availability of the Tier1 Private Oracle Cloud, the most optimized and protected computing environment for Oracle Applications and databases. Leveraging Oracle's Virtual Compute Appliance (VCA) technology, the only virtual environment certified to use Oracle Trusted Partitions – the Tier1 Private Cloud provides the flexibility to license Oracle software on a virtual CPU basis.
The Tier1 Private Oracle Cloud is designed to minimize customer costs and the complexities they face when hosting Oracle applications in-house. Private cloud environments are hosted in a world class data center and designed specifically for Oracle customers.
Tier1 CEO, Dave Busch, says, "We thoroughly evaluated the build versus buy for our private cloud solution and decided to purchase Oracle's VCA for a number of reasons: The VCA uses all Oracle products that are pre-configured and wired. It's a turnkey solution. It's pre-built, and it's easy to install and configure. We were able to get our virtual computer clients running very smoothly, very quickly." Additionally, he notes, the VCA was versatile enough to serve their diverse clients' needs. "Our customers have a lot of different versions and variability in their software and we needed a solution that can help us support all of them."
The VCA enables rapid, repeatable software-defined infrastructure deployment for virtually any x86 application and workload. It is an easy-to-deploy, integrated system with the flexibility required for cloud computing.
Ed Eichler, COO and VP, Consulting Services for Tier1 Inc., says, "With technology already engineered and integrated together, the VCA allows us to enable our clients to spend more time adding value to their company and less time managing the day-to-day issues that come with supporting their own Oracle environment."
Cross Match Technologies, Inc., a leading innovator and provider of biometric identity management solutions, went live with the Tier1 Private Oracle Cloud on July 28, 2014. For the Palm Beach Gardens, FL-based company, an affordable, scalable, and highly secure Cloud environment was critical to theirs and their clients' data-sensitive missions. Cross Match serves governments and law enforcement agencies, as well as businesses throughout the world.
CIO of Cross Match Technologies, Scott Minter explains their thought process, "We decided to use Tier1's Private Oracle Cloud months ago to fulfill our IT Cloud Strategy: Partner with a cloud provider whom we can trust and rely on for cost-effective, adaptable delivery of business applications and services. Through the ease of our migration, their responsiveness to our needs, and their common sense approach, Tier1 has proven that they are the right partner for us."
Customers access their software on the Tier1 Private Oracle Cloud through private circuits via a secure site-to-site VPN. They also receive Oracle VM Compute Nodes, Oracle ZFS Storage, and Backup and Disaster Recovery services. Customers bring their own software and licenses, and can run them on Linux, Unix, or Windows platforms.
There are significant cost benefits for the customer. The Tier1 Private Oracle Cloud saves repeated, expensive investments in IT infrastructure like servers, SAN, and network hardware; increased IT staffing retention and costs; and higher power and HVAC bills. Customers also just pay for the space they need and can adjust it as demand changes. Tier1 handles installation, deployment, and management of the Tier1 Private Oracle Cloud – and also provides support for third-party and homegrown applications. Tier1 manages Backup/Restore, Backup/Recovery, and security services.
Busch explains one of the biggest cost savings, which is tied to licensing. "When companies decide to move their business applications to a virtual environment, there are typically licensing issues for the Oracle database. But with the VCA leveraging Oracle's trusted partitions licensing policy, it enables our customers to bring their Oracle Database licenses over and not incur additional license fees.
Additionally, Busch says, the Tier1 Private Oracle Cloud enables the firm to help customers manage their Oracle applications from start-to-finish. "The VCA gives us an opportunity to provide a full lifecycle of services to our customers, not only the managed services but to completely host the applications for them. We own the entire environment and we can manage the entire environment for them." See more of his interview with Oracle at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0u-mQXx4GM.

- Juneau combo: whale-watching cruise and salmon hatchery tour
- Spot humpback whales and other marine animals such as seals and orcas with the help of an onboard naturalist
- Enjoy the design of the whale-spotting boat, which puts you at water level for a better view
- Visit the Ladd Macaulay Salmon Hatchery for a behind-the-scenes tour
- Learn about the lifecycle of king and coho salmon, and touch ocean creatures like starfish and sea cucumbers
- Salmon tastings included
What You Can Expect
Forward-facing seats inside the heated cabin offer good views of the water, and the water-jet drives provide quiet underwater operation without dangerous propellers that may scare or harm the whales. All of this adds up to whales that feel safe around the boat and will come close! Humpback whales actively feed and play in the area from May to September. You may also see other local animals like orcas, seals, sea lions and porpoises.
Learn about the whales' habits and behaviors from the onboard naturalist, and snack on tastings of Alaskan salmon, Alaskan chocolate and fudge, washed down with soft drinks, hot chocolate and bottled water. You can even hear the whales' underwater communication – or 'singing' – via your boat's underwater hydrophone.
When your 2-hour whale-watching cruise ends, travel by refurbished military bus to the Ladd Macaulay Salmon Hatchery, part of a non-profit organization that works to sustain Alaska's important salmon population through research, education and tourism.
During your 35-minute behind-the-scenes tour of the hatchery, you'll learn about the lifecycle of salmon – from egg to adult – and see their near-shore marine environment. With a knowledgeable guide, find out what goes on at a salmon hatchery, including the hatchery's Salmon Smolt and Rearing Facility, where four large raceways hold king and coho smolt (young salmon). Check out the 5,000-gallon (18,900-liter) saltwater aquarium and the touch tank, where you can touch starfish, crab, sea cucumbers and other ocean critters.
Round out your salmon experience with tastings of king salmon dip, salmon jerky, canned smoked salmon and salmon caviar. You'll then return by bus to the Mt Roberts Tramway, where your tour began.

McCain was born in panama and it wasn't a problem. If your mother is american then you are a citizen at birth even if you are born in another country. If you are a citizen at birth then you are a natural born citizen. I am no fan of obama but the whole birther scandal was just a campaign of hate and had just as much credibility as the rumor that obama was the anti christ.
If Rand Paul and Ted Cruz both run then we are screwed. If the liberty vote is divided then we will lose. I hope they work out some kind of deal about who is going to run.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- So many aspects of the NFL are changing. Defensive players are being penalized and fined for what only a couple years ago would have been considered clean and legal hits, rookie quarterbacks are transitioning seamlessly from college without needing any years of learning on the bench and its possible that kickoffs could soon be eliminated from the league entirely. But regardless of how much changes, one constant has been the classic 91-year rivalry between the Green Bay and Chicago: When the Packers (9-4) and Bears (8-5) meet for the 186th time Sunday afternoon in Chicago, as has so often been the case, the game will have a significant impact on both teams playoff situation. For Green Bay, its simple: Beat the Bears and the NFC North title belongs to the Packers. It would be Green Bays second head-to-head win of the season over its longest-standing rival, which, combined with other tiebreakers, would officially send Chicago out of contention in the division.

Whoops and Grins
March 21 was a day of whoops and grins as School of Medicine seniors learned which residency programs they'll enter after graduation this spring. Although participants in the National Resident Matching Program can find out via the World Wide Web if they've successfully matched to a program, Hopkins continues with its traditional group ritual, in which students get together to open their white envelopes with news of their matches. Pictured is Edward Garcia, who will head to Massachusetts this summer to begin residencies in internal medicine and anesthesiology at Mt. Auburn Hospital and Brigham & Women's. Garcia, a West Point graduate, served in the Gulf War and Panama, and worked for the Department of Defense before deciding he wanted to become a doctor.

Mozilla Design Challenge Winners Announced
The Mozilla Labs Design Challenge competition was looking for new possibilities for browser tab design that was getting somewhat long in the tooth over the years. The winners of the challenge have now been announced.
Honors for Best in Class were awarded in four categories at the Mozilla Design Challenge Summer 09 that had the theme "Reinventing Tabs in the Browser":
- Innovation -- TabViz
- Execution -- Collapsible Tab Groups
- Interaction -- Wave Concept
- Producible -- FaviTabs
A fifth People Choice award went to the solution with the most votes from the wider community -- CubeZilla.
TabViz, voted the most innovative from Liz Blankenship, Jakob Hilden and Kerry Kao from the University of Michigan, visualizes tabs as a radial hierarchy of opened pages and subpages in the left bottom corner of the browser.
Winner of the Execution category, Collapsible Tab Groups from Martin Polley of Intel in Haifa, Israel, orders a resizable vertical stack of open window tabs on the left side of the screen. The tabs can be grouped by category, collapsed and highlighted for changes. The Interaction category was quite convincingly won by the team of Darby Thomas, Danielle Kanasatab and Alex Mattice for Wave Concept to balance browser performance, tidiness and convenience using tiny chronological thumbnails called "wavelets," grouping them by domain name and splitting screens without a need to scroll.
The Producible category went to FaviTabs from designer Grady Kelly that concentrates on the favicons in each tab and expands and time-lines them in drawers.
CubeZilla, developed by a team led by Faber Ludens, won the People Choice award. The application displays the Web pages on a rotatable Rubik Cube and includes a 3D holographic interface. All the projects are described and some have mockups and videos on the Design Challenge webpage.

MELVILLE – The Estée Lauder Cos. is planning to move its fragrance-filling operations to Melville from Oakland, N.J,. over the next 12 to 14 months and to move its distribution operations out of the region.
The company said it's moving the fragrance filling operation here as part of "strategic decision to create a state-of-the-art fragrance and skin care facility in Melville," where the company already has many other operations.
"This move will allow for increased synergies and collaboration between fragrance and skin care production, as well as with research and development and other Melville-based operations," the Manhattan-based company said in a written statement.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]
But the firm also said that "to accommodate this manufacturing expansion in Melville," it in May will relocate its 58-person Melville distribution operations to its North America distribution hub in Pennsylvania.
It is expected that the number of employees on Long Island will remain flat once the new fragrance-filling operation is up and running, according to the company.
"We do not anticipate a major fluctuation in the actual number of jobs as a result of this transition," the firm said in a statement.
The company said the new fragrance plant will "require a certain number of new jobs in Melville to maintain operations," but exact numbers aren't available. The firm said it will be offering jobs internally first and consider hiring externally as needed.
"The move will enable the company to better serve its retailers by further streamlining and centralizing distribution operations," the firm said. "We are continuing to build new capabilities in Melville to support our ongoing commitment to innovation and global competitiveness."

Boy Scouts of America proposal would end ban on gay youths, but keep ban on gay leaders
Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — After months of national debate, the Boy Scouts of America on Friday announced it has prepared a resolution that would lift its longstanding ban on gay youth members.
Scouting officials said the resolution will go before the roughly 1,400 voting members of the organization's National Council during its meeting next month. The proposal calls for ending the practice of excluding openly gay youths from participating in Scouting, but would continue to bar gay adults from serving in leadership positions.
In a statement released Friday, Scouting officials said the organization had received an outpouring of feedback from across the nation and while opinions varied significantly, most individuals agreed that youths should not be denied the benefits of Scouting.
The statement also noted that the proposed resolution includes language reinforcing that Scouting is a youth program and that any sexual conduct by youths of Scouting age is contrary to the organization's virtues.
"America needs Scouting, and our policies must be based on what is in the best interest of our nation's children," the statement said. "Throughout this process, we work to stay focused on that which unites us — reaching and serving young people to help them grow into good, strong citizens. Our priority remains to continue accomplishing incredible things for young people and the communities we serve."
The latest proposal follows months of national debate on the BSA's longstanding ban on openly gay members. The Boy Scouts of America's board of directors was scheduled to vote on the ban in January, but a decision was delayed to allow time for further study of the issue.
Since January, the BSA has come under fire from groups on both sides of the debate, with several organizations dropping or threatening to drop their sponsorship of the Scouting program. Last week, a bill was introduced in California's Legislature that would remove tax exemptions from groups that discriminate based on sexual orientation, which was interpreted by many as a move to pressure the Boy Scouts into lifting its ban.
While the proposal could be seen by some as a first step or compromise, others say it continues to send the wrong message about gay individuals. Bryce Sprosty, a 22-year-old Eagle Scout who grew up in Vernal, but now lives in Des Moines, Iowa, said he would like to see the current policy changed to allow gay scouts, but continuing to ban gay adults from leadership implies that gay individuals cannot be trusted around children.
"I think lifting the ban halfway like that, it still demonizes gay people," he said. "It sends the wrong message."
Sprosty, who is gay, said Scouting was one of his favorite activities growing up. But he said he would have been kicked out of the organization if he had made his sexual orientation known at the time, which he felt would have been detrimental to him as a teenager.
He said he would probably prefer no change at all instead of the resolution announced Friday by Scout leadership. By only partially lifting the ban, Sprosty said, it could make it harder in the future to make changes.
In March, a survey distributed by the Great Salt Lake Council of the Boy Scouts of America found that 83 percent of local Boy Scout leaders oppose lifting the ban and 70 percent would either decrease or stop their participation in scouting if the current policy was changed.
At the time of the survey, Great Salt Lake Council Scout Executive Rick Barnes said he was not surprised by the level of opposition to a policy change but was surprised by the number of leaders who indicated they would decrease their participation in Scouting if the ban was lifted.
"We don't have a ban on homosexuals. We have a ban on open and avowed homosexuals," he said. "What we're saying is we're not the forum for this discussion."
On Friday, representatives of the Great Salt Lake Council said they would not be responding to media requests for comment.
Michael Purdy, spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, issued a statement on Friday that church leaders had received and were studying the resolution. The LDS church is the single-largest sponsor of Boy Scout units in the nation.
"Church leaders will take the time needed to fully review the language and study the implications of this new proposal," Purdy said Friday. "We note that BSA will make a final decision on this matter at their National Annual Meeting next month."

12/2 Roundup
The Nationals, looking to bounce back from last season's disappointing finish, had been quiet this offseason — until Monday. That's when general manager Mike Rizzo announced his entry into the Hot Stove conversation by pulling off a big trade with the Tigers.
Rizzo bolstered his rotation and replaced Dan Haren by acquiring another veteran right-hander, Doug Fister, in exchange for reserve infielder Steve Lombardozzi and young left-handers Ian Krol and Robbie Ray.
Monday also was the last day for teams to tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players, with the deadline looming at midnight ET. Any non-tendered player immediately becomes a free agent and can sign with any club.
Among the players reportedly cut loose were pitchers John Axford of the Cardinals, Andrew Bailey of the Red Sox, Daniel Hudson of the D-backs, Jerome Williams and Tommy Hanson of the Angels, Jeremy Hefner of the Mets and Mitchell Boggs of the Rockies; catcher J.P. Arencibia of the Blue Jays; infielders Mat Gamel of the Cubs, Justin Turner of the Mets, Elliot Johnson and Paul Janish of the Braves, Jayson Nix of the Yankees and Chris Getz of the Royals; and outfielders Sam Fuld of the Rays and Ryan Kalish of the Red Sox.
In other news from around the league:
- The A's have added to their rotation by agreeing to a two-year deal with left-hander Scott Kazmir, who resurrected his career with the Indians this season.
- The A's also picked up a closer, with Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and MLB Network reporting that they sent second baseman Jemile Weeks to the Orioles for Jim Johnson.
- The Blue Jays found a new starting catcher, agreeing to a two-year contract with free agent Dioner Navarro, who is coming off a strong offensive year with the Cubs.
- Speaking of catchers, the Pirates swapped backups for starter Russell Martin, acquiring defensive specialist Chris Stewart from the Yankees and designating Michael McKenry for assignment.
- The Yankees, meanwhile, announced their signing of slick-fielding shortstop Brendan Ryan to a two-year deal.
- New York also has made a one-year offer to right-hander Hiroki Kuroda, according to ESPN New York. Kuroda is deciding between retirement or playing another season in the Majors or in his native Japan.
- Free-agent outfielder Curtis Granderson could be an option for the Mets.
- Sources told The Boston Globe's Pete Abraham that free-agent catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia is unlikely to return to the Red Sox, with Rosenthal and others mentioning the Marlins among those currently in pursuit.
- Veteran utility man Willie Bloomquist is heading back to Seattle after three years with Arizona.

Mets GM Alderson meets with Granderson
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson met Sunday with free agent outfielder Curtis Granderson, according to FOX Sports.
Granderson would fill the Mets' obvious hole at one of their corner outfield spots, even if Citi Field's spacious dimensions would strip him of the 40-homer power he displayed for years at Yankee Stadium. He could be out of the Mets' price range if he is seeking a lucrative multi-year deal, but would likely come cheaper than top-of-the-line free agent outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury and Shin-Soo Choo.
Granderson, 32, hit .229 with seven home runs in 61 games last season, missing much of the campaign with a broken finger. He hit 84 homers combined over his previous two seasons in New York.
-Anthony DiComo
12/2 afternoon roundup
The Hot Stove was buzzing Monday morning and afternoon, as a handful of deals went down.
The headliner was left-hander Scott Kazmir agreeing to a two-year deal with the A's.
Kazmir, who turns 30 in January, finished the season 10-9 with a 4.04 ERA and 162 strikeouts in 158 innings for the Indians, who took a chance on the former first-round Draft pick via a Minor League deal shortly after the lefty finished a stint with the Sugar Land Skeeters in independent ball.
Before this year, Kazmir had last pitched in a Major League game in April 2011.
Other notes from Monday:
- The Blue Jays and veteran catcher Dioner Navarro agreed to a two-year contract believed to be worth $8 million.
- The Yankees sent catcher Chris Stewart to the Pirates for a player to be named later, which frees a roster space for the Yankees.

- The Tigers agreed to a one-year, $1-million deal with infielder/outfielder Don Kelly.
- The Rays, interested in a left-handed hitting first baseman, have talked with the Rangers about Mitch Moreland.

Report: Yankees sending Stewart to Pirates
The Pirates are close to acquiring catcher Chris Stewart from the Yankees, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.
The Yankees will receive cash considerations or a player to be named later, according to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman.
Stewart, who turns 32 in February, posted a .211/.293/.272 line in 109 games for the Yankees last season. He became expendable with New York's signing of catcher Brian McCann in November.

Cano's agents meet with Yankees
Two of Robinson Cano's representatives met on Tuesday with Yankees president Randy Levine and general manager Brian Cashman, according to a report by the Associated Press. Despite the meeting, however, the two sides apparently remain very far apart, according to the report's source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Brodie Van Wagenen and Juan Perez of CAA Baseball met with the Yankees brass on Tuesday — and may meet again on Wednesday. Cano, himself, did not attend the meeting.
Cano's camp remains set, for the time being anyways, on asking for the 10-year, $310 million contract that Cano said he would seek this offseason. The Yankees have said they won't be offering up that caliber deal, but Tuesday's meeting seems to indicate that the two sides are at least making progress.
11/25 Roundup
The Rangers officially introduced Prince Fielder on Monday, five days after acquiring the slugging first baseman from the Tigers for Ian Kinsler.
The move likely doesn't signify the end of the club's offseason maneuvering, however. Our T.R. Sullivan writes that while the Rangers are not expected to go after free-agent second baseman Robinson Cano, they are looking to add another impact bat to their lineup, either at the top or in the middle.
One of those available big bats belongs to free-agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo. Speaking of Choo, our Mark Sheldon explores the question of whether the Reds could bring him back to Cincinnati, meeting his significant contract demands.
In other news from around the league:
- Veteran right-handed pitcher Dan Haren officially came off the board on Monday, when the Dodgers announced his one-year contract.
- After adding a center fielder (Peter Bourjos) and a shortstop (Jhonny Peralta) over the past week, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak didn't close the door on his offseason shuffling but added that, "if the clock stopped today, we'd be pretty happy with our club."
- The Yankees' signing of free-agent catcher Brian McCann signals the club's aggressive intentions this offseason after falling short of the playoffs in 2013, writes MLB.com columnist Mike Bauman. Along those lines, a move for free-agent outfielder Carlos Beltran could be on the way.
- Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos addressed his team's search for a starting pitcher, most notably the Cubs' Jeff Samardzija.
- Veteran righty A.J. Burnett hasn't decided if he will pitch in 2014, but if he does, the market could push him out of the Pirates' price range.
- The Tigers and free-agent reliever Brian Wilson are in "serious" negotiations, a source has told The Detroit News. It appears that Wilson, and not Joe Nathan, is Detroit's primary target to fill its closer role.
- Elsewhere in the American League Central, The Kansas City Star reported that the Royals are open to dealing from their bullpen depth, especially righty Aaron Crow or lefty Tim Collins.
- There were a few minor trades executed on Monday, with the Padres swinging a three-player deal with the Pirates and swapping pitchers with the Orioles, while the A's picked up a left-hander from the Nationals. The Pirates also cleared 40-man roster space by designating first baseman-outfielder Garrett Jones for assignment.
- Our Doug Miller looks at what's left on the free-agent market in The Week Ahead.
- The Marlins are looking into signing catcher Dioner Navarro and pitcher Phil Hughes, according to the Miami Herald.

Is Carlos Beltran up next for the Yankees?
Now that they have agreed to a five-year contract with free agent catcher Brian McCann, the Yankees' next move could come with outfielder Carlos Beltran, according to the New York Daily News.
The Yankees would love to make progress with Robinson Cano, Hiroki Kuroda and Masahiro Tanaka, their other main targets, but those discussions are held up for a variety of reasons. Thus, Beltran may be one of the next names to come off the board. The Yankees would prefer to give Beltran a two-year contract, while it has been reported that Beltran is looking for a three-year commitment.
Beltran turns 37 in April. The switch-hitter posted a split line of .296/.339/.491 in 145 games for the Cardinals this past season, slugging 24 homers and 84 RBIs. He has expressed interest in joining the Yankees before; through his agent at the time, Scott Boras, Beltran pitched his services to the Bombers at a discounted rate before agreeing with the Mets on a seven-year deal. Beltran is now represented by Dan Lozano.
General manager Brian Cashman has said that the Yankees liked Beltran during that '04-'05 offseason, but they were already locked in with Bernie Williams as their center fielder at the time, and also felt bogged down by big-money pacts with players like Jason Giambi and Mike Mussina.

11/23 Roundup
The Yankees stole the Hot Stove headlines on Saturday, when they filled their void at catcher by agreeing to a five-year contract with free agent Brian McCann. In a deal first reported by The Dallas Morning News, New York committed to paying McCann $85 million, with a $15 million vesting option for 2019.
The Yankees clearly needed more offense behind the plate, after their catchers combined for a .587 OPS last season. McCann comes in with seven All-Star appearances, five Silver Slugger Awards and a career .823 OPS.
In other news from around the league:
- The Cardinals apparently have found their shortstop, with ESPN's Jerry Crasnick breaking the news that St. Louis is close to an agreement with free agent Jhonny Peralta.
- The Angels will bolster their bullpen by signing free-agent right-hander Joe Smith to a three-year contract worth roughly $15 million.
- Free-agent right-hander Colby Lewis, who missed the 2013 season due to injury, re-signed with the Rangers on a one-year Minor League deal that includes an invitation to Major League camp. Lewis went 32-29 with a 3.93 ERA over 80 starts with Texas from 2010-12 but hasn't pitched in the Majors since July of '12.
- In his morning (Insider-only) column, ESPN's Buster Olney said some executives, "see the Mariners as the great sleeping giant in baseball," because of their potential financial clout, lack of long-term contract commitments outside of Felix Hernandez, and solid stable of young players. Olney wonders if the Mariners could go after top free agents Robinson Cano and Jacoby Ellsbury.
- The Cubs have generated a lot of interest in right-hander Jeff Samardzija, with the Blue Jays one of those trying to pry him away, according to Bruce Levine of ESPN Chicago and ESPN Radio 1000.
- There was speculation on Friday that Cano was in Detroit to visit the Tigers. A deal between the two parties would seem to be a longshot considering the club just acquired Ian Kinsler, as FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal tweeted.
- The market for free-agent closers is locked in a "staring contest," tweets FOX Sports' Jon Morosi.

Yankees, McCann reportedly agree to deal (UPDATED)
UPDATE: The Yankees have agreed to a contract with free-agent catcher Brian McCann, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and MLB Network. The deal, which still would require a physical, has not been confirmed by the teams.
Rosenthal reports that McCann would make $85 million over five years, with a vesting option that could trigger a sixth season at another $15 million.
UPDATE: Rosenthal now tweets that the sides are "close" on a five-year contract worth upwards of $80 million.
The top catcher available this offseason might have a new home soon.
Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reported on Saturday evening that free agent Brian McCann "is on the verge of a long-term deal" with the Yankees, citing a pair of Major League sources. McCann's agent, BB Abbott, did not confirm any agreement to Grant.
However, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and MLB Network soon tweeted that a deal is "not yet close," although the two sides have been engaged in "serious discussions."
McCann, who will turn 30 on Feb. 20, has spent the last nine seasons with the Braves, making seven All-Star teams.

11/21 Roundup
The Royals made the biggest move of the day on Thursday, bolstering their starting rotation by signing free-agent left-hander Jason Vargas to a four-year, $32 million contract. Vargas, who will turn 31 in February, went 9-8 with a 4.02 ERA last season for the Angels, who now have another hole to fill on their staff.
Meanwhile, Wednesday night's big trade between the Rangers and Tigers continued to hold the baseball world's attention. The swap of Ian Kinsler and Prince Fielder could have far-reaching implications. Among them:
- The trade gives the Tigers additional financial flexibility they could use to pursue contract extensions for Max Scherzer and/or Miguel Cabrera, writes our Jason Beck. There also is the issue of how Detroit will adjust defensively, with Cabrera likely shifting to first and opening up a spot at third that could be filled by top prospect Nick Castellanos.
- The ripple effects from the deal could surface in Cincinnati, says our Mark Sheldon, impacting the Reds' potential plans to move second baseman Brandon Phillips.
- Kinsler's departure from Texas likely eliminates the possibility of the Rangers parting with Elvis Andrus. That gives the Cardinals one fewer option in their pursuit of a shortstop, as our Jenifer Langosch explains.
In other news from around the league on Thursday:
- The Tigers moved quickly to their next order of business, re-signing lefty Phil Coke to a one-year deal to avoid arbitration.
- The Giants have agreed to a deal to keep left-handed specialist Javier Lopez in San Francisco, with multiple reports indicating he will receive a three-year contract.
- The Angels and Cardinals have discussed a swap that would send third baseman David Freese to Anaheim in exchange for an outfielder, such as Peter Bourjos.
- After adding Josh Johnson to their starting rotation, the Padres will return their focus to acquiring a left-handed hitter, tweets our Corey Brock.
- Our Adam McCalvy writes that the Brewers aren't likely to trade Ryan Braun but could move him from left field to right.
- Ike Davis tells our Anthony DiComo that while he would like to stay with the Mets, he understands that there is a significant chance the club could deal him this offseason.
- Lance Berkman's agent told Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that his client is leaning toward retirement. The 15-year veteran, who turns 38 in February, posted a .700 OPS for the Rangers last season, and injuries have limited him to 105 games over the past two years.
- The agent for free-agent catcher Brian McCann told Alex Speier of Boston's WEEI that his client is willing to spend some time at first base and designated hitter with a new team.
- The Rays are working toward a two-year deal to retain the services of catcher Jose Molina, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.
- The Dodgers and Giants have free-agent right-hander Dan Haren among their targets as they look to add pitching, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and MLB Network.
- Although outfielder Curtis Granderson became a free agent when he rejected the Yankees' qualifying offer, the club remains interested in bringing him back, reports the New York Post.

The number of specialty stitches (ie other than straight-stitch and zig-zag) that are available on a sewing machine. Some may be decorative like scallops, curlicues and arrowheads; other stitches are functional, such as treble-seaming, overcasting, blind-hemming or stretch stitches. Stitches that form buttonholes are also commonly built-in.
Some older sewing machines (usually pre-1990's) can produce decorative stitches with the use of cams or discs. The specially-shaped cams or discs are inserted into the machine at a point where they align with the inner gears, and they cause the needle and feed dogs to move in such a way that the decorative stitch is produced when the sewer steps on the foot pedal.
Newer, computerized sewing machines tend to have many more built-in stitches than their older mechanical counterparts.

And people go on living in the memories which are only footprints left on the sand; or they project a life into the future, which is also as non-existential as the past. One is no more, the other is not yet, and between the two one loses the real, the present, the now.
Wholeness is of the now. If you can be simply here, then this very moment the revelation! Then it is not gradual, it is sudden, it is an explosion!
The word upanishad is tremendously important. It simply means sitting down close to a master; it is a communion. The master is living in wholeness; he is living herenow, he is pulsating herenow. His life has a music, his life has a joy, a silence of immense depth. His life is full of light.
Just to sit silently by the side of a master is enough, because the presence of a master is infectious, the presence of the master is overwhelming. His silence starts reaching to your very heart. His presence becomes a magnetic pull on you: it pulls you out of the mud of the past and the future. It brings you into the present.
Upanishad is a communion, not a communication. A communication is head-to-head and a communion is heart-to-heart. This is one of the greatest secrets of spiritual life, and nowhere else, at no other time, it was understood so deeply as in the days of the Upanishads.
The Upanishads were born nearabout five thousand years before. A secret communion, a transmission beyond the scriptures, a communion, a transmission beyond the scriptures, a communion beyond the words.this is what upanishad is - you sitting silently, not just listening to my words but listening to my presence too. The words are only excuses to hang the silence upon. The silence is the real content, the word is only a container. If you become too much interested in the word you miss the spirit.
So don't be too much interested in the word. Listen to the heartbeat of the word. When a master speaks, those words are coming from his innermost core. They are full of his color, of his light. They carry some of the perfume of his being. If you are open and vulnerable, receptive, welcoming, they will penetrate into your heart and a process is triggered.
What Carl Gustav Jung calls synchronicity explains exactly what happens between a master and a disciple. It is not the same as what happens between a teacher and a student. Between teacher and a student there is a communication; some information is transferred by the teacher to the student, but no transformation - only information. The teacher himself is not transformed, he himself has not arrived. He is repeating words from other teachers, he may be even repeating words from other masters, but he has not known himself; his words are borrowed. He may be very scholarly, he may be very well-informed, but that is not the real thing. Information is not the real thing - transformation. And unless one is transformed he cannot trigger the process of transformation in others.

Schwarzenegger makes return to action films
The last time Arnold Schwarzenegger head lined a major action film was in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, which was released on July 3, 2003, back when a gallon of gas only cost $1.53, Clay Aikens This is the Night was at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and SARS was the virus of the moment.
Now after running the state of California for a few years, having gone through a very public family scandal and waded back into acting with the Expendables films, the former Austrian body builder is back on the silver screen in the Jee-woon Kim directed The Last Stand.
Ill be the first person to admit Im not the biggest fan of Schwarzenegger. The only entry from his filmography I swear any strong feelings to is Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and the only film of his I could have conceivably seen in theaters was Batman & Robin in 1997, but I think I can be forgiven for expunging that experience from my memory banks.
But I can safely say the roughly 105 minutes spent watching Jee-woo Kims (I Saw the Devil, The Good, the Bad, the Weird) inaugural American film is not something Id want to forget.
Schwarzenegger portrays Ray Owens, a former narcotics officer from Los Angeles who is now the Sheriff of a small town in Arizona that sits on the Mexico border. His town is the last obstacle for a drug czar who is speeding for freedom at 200 mph in a modified Corvette after being sprung from FBI custody by his cohorts in an elaborate operation that leaves Forest Whitakers very incompetent, and severely over acted FBI agent character sputtering in the Las Vegas night.
The worst part about The Last Stand is the set up. While the film is very fun once it reaches its midway point, you have to sit through some going-through-the-motions plotting, with both characters and props that scream, Well bring this back later!
Chief among these is Johnny Knoxvilles character of Lewis. Based on the marketing of the movie, I expected the Jackass star to be present for a large part of the movies runtime and to wear out his welcome quickly with very on the nose comedic shtick.
As far as the other cast goes, the assembled thespians are as rag-tag as the group Owens has assembled to defend his town. Some are great, like Jaimie Alexander (Thor) as a young deputy; others are what they are, like Greendale Community College alumni Luis Guzman and more than a few, especially Whitaker, are just there to fulfill the most menial plot point that overstays its welcome.
While Eduardo Noriegas (Vantage Point) drug lord character is the focus of everyones attention in the movie, hes irrelevant for much of the story after his escape until he arrives in Owens town.
Schwarzenegger is obviously getting old and the movie takes its chances to poke fun at this fact, much like in The Expendables and the fourth Indiana Jones film.
However, he does get the great moments you would expect from him in a B action flick and thats really all this movie aspires to be.
Kim keeps the blood flow to a minimum until he dashes out some quick, yet inventive kills to make sure youre still paying attention.
Kim also executes one of the more interesting car chases of recent memory, putting together a Wrath of Khan esque cat and mouse chase through a corn field, something I wouldnt expect to see in southern Arizona.
If you can get through the lazily scripted first act, youll get a rewarding, fun second half that lives up to the films title without anyone having to say it.
While feeling like a straight-to-DVD feature at times, The Last Stand is a serviceable return to the screen for a Hollywood legend, but theres no need to rush out to see it.
