Findings from a secret poll conducted by a prominent Republican firm proposes that Gov. Tom Corbett attack the Philadelphia teachers union to overcome widespread opposition to his education policies and bolster his faltering re-election prospects. "Taking on this fight moves Corbett's approval scores on handling education" and "boosts his overall approval numbers."
The state-run Philadelphia School Reform Commission has passed a doomsday budget cutting 3,859 teachers, aides, administrators and other staff after shuttering 24 schools. To close a $304 million budget gap and restore cuts, the School District is asking for $60 million in city aid, $120 million from the state, and $133 million from unions — mainly teachers.
The poll suggests that Corbett, a governor who has long suffered from low public-approval ratings, condition state aid to Philadelphia schools on major union concessions and kickstart his hobbled reelection campaign with a high-profile fight against the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers.
The poll, which City Paper obtained last night, was conducted between April 30 and May 2 and reported a margin of error plus or minus 4 percent statewide and 4.9 percent for the Philly suburbs, where an extra sample was taken.
"With Governor Corbett's weak job approval, re-elect and ballot support numbers, the current Philadelphia school crisis presents an opportunity for the Governor to wedge the electorate on an issue that is favorable to him," the poll concludes. "Staging this battle presents Corbett with an opportunity to coalesce his base, focus on a key emerging issue in the state, and campaign against an 'enemy' that's going to aggressively oppose him in '14 in any case."
The Inquirer reported this morning that high-level negotiations indicated that Corbett, city officials and legislators were considering a "funding package that could pump as much as $100 million more into the coffers of the Philadelphia School District" but "would be contingent on the district's ability to obtain major concessions from the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, including requiring teachers to work a longer school day and contribute to their health-care coverage."
The poll was performed by Public Opinion Strategies, a major Republican firm. But it is unclear is who commissioned the poll. The line of questioning and conclusion — that attacking the teachers union is the best way for Corbett to win reelection--suggests that it may have been paid for by a "school reform" advocacy group rather than the Corbett, whose office and re-election campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
[Update: Public Opinion Strategies has told City Paper that the self-described school reform group PennCan, which has still not responded to a request for comment, paid for the poll. CP reports on PennCAN and its funders here.]
StudentsFirst, an organization founded by firebrand former DC Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee, has contracted Public Opinion Strategies to conduct polls in Pennsylvania and other states. StudentsFirst denied any involvement with the poll. CP contacted other prominent school reform outfits in the state that have clashed with teachers unions, including REACH Foundation, PennCAN, the Philadelphia School Partnership, and another group called Students First PA, which is bankrolled by Bala Cynwyd-based hedge fund managers at Susquehanna International Group. None have yet responded — and neither has Public Opinion Strategies.
The Pennsylvania Republican Party declined to say whether they were involved.
State Sen. Anthony Williams, a likely candidate for mayor who strongly disagrees with the PFT on issues like school vouchers, denies the existence of a proposal to make state aid conditional on union concessions.
"There is no quid pro quo as far as I'm concerned when it comes to getting money from Harrisburg for the School District of Philadelphia," says Williams. "I'm trying to help get the money the district needs in order to keep it operating, in order to keep kids in schools, teachers in classrooms and communities together. That's what I've been pushing for here, in Philly, and among other entities. It's irresponsible to do otherwise."
The poll first establishes Corbett's low approval ratings and widespread public opposition to his education policies, finding that "not only do voters believe that public education in the state is off-track, but they overwhelmingly disapprove of the way Corbett's handling the issue."
Sixty-nine percent of respondents said that Pennsylvania public education is on the "wrong track," and 64 percent blame Corbett — 43 percent strongly so. In the Philly suburbs, 84 percent said that the city's schools are in the wrong trac. Seventy percent statewide believe that it is Corbett's job to help find a solution.
The poll then identifies the teachers union's serious political weaknesses and argues that Corbett must exploit them to improve his own political fortunes: strong majorities support giving the School District authority to use "performance" instead of seniority to assign teachers and giving principals more authority over placing teachers in their schools. Those polled were narrowly split, however, when it comes to ending "automatic pay raises solely for extra years of service or obtaining additional degrees or certificate" — with those opposing outnumbering those supporting by 49 percent to 48 percent, and significantly more respondents "strongly" opposing than supporting.
Sixty percent statewide, and 64 percent in the Philadelphia suburbs, support conditioning increased aid on the passage of these reforms, and 57 percent of said they would back Corbett in a fight with the PFT.
Seventy-one percent said they believed teachers were more interested in "protecting wages and benefits," with just 22 percent responding that they were more interested in "improving public education."
These PFT weaknesses are real, but the poll assumes that a Corbett gambit to condition state aid on teacher concessions will be publicly perceived in a frame of Corbett's choosing.
First, the poll asks whether voters would support state and local funding along with teacher givebacks to close the budget gap only against the inherently unattractive options of "insolvency" and "increased borrowing." Second, the poll fails to sound out how a potential teachers union messages would resonate: Should teachers be hired and fired based on students' high-stakes standardized tests?
Notably, the poll does not query voters as to their attitude toward the nearly $1 billion in budget cuts to schools orchestrated by Corbett, which have affected school districts statewide and forced many to enact extraordinary property tax hikes.
The conclusion that "voters' preferred method is a combination of state funding and PFT concessions" is simply not supported by the data. Instead, it seems to reflect the "school reform" movement's anxiety to disassociate a controversial cocktail of charter school expansion, taxpayer-funded vouchers for private-school tuition, and high-stakes standardized testing from the almost universally reviled budget cuts.
Finally, the poll does not ask whether teacher pay should be cut as a freestanding question. The fact that so many said that they oppose eliminating salary hikes based on seniority and continuing education indicates that they would likely also oppose pay cuts — perhaps even more strongly.
Philadelphia teachers currently make 19 percent less than their suburban counterparts in Bucks and Montgomery counties.
In addition, the poll finds that the "teachers' union" is viewed favorably by 44 percent of respondents and unfavorably by 39 percent — better than Corbett's numbers. Those polled are split on "The Philadelphia Teachers' Union," with an unfavorable rating of 25 percent against 24 percent supporting. When described as the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, they are seen favorably by 25 percent, with 22 percent opposing.
The political landscape for a full-frontal assault on teachers is a difficult one: the PFT, whose contract expires in August, has strong support from the Philadelphia delegation in Harrisburg. In June 2012, city legislators were outraged when they discovered that SRC Chairman Pedro Ramos — a Corbett appointee — was secretly lobbying Republicans for legislation that would give them a clear right to unilaterally cancel union contracts and set pay and benefits.
In March, state Sen. Vincent Hughes, a Philadelphian and the ranking Democrat on the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, called the SRC's approach of asking for PFT concessions without first lobbying Corbett for state funds "inexcusable and an act of hypocrisy."
Interestingly, the poll also suggests that Mayor Michael Nutter, who has come under fire for supporting controversial education reforms, could be a useful Corbett ally.
"Mayor Nutter could be helpful," the study finds. "His image is positive statewide, and he's actually viewed more positively in the suburbs than in Philadelphia."
Sixty-eight percent of suburbanites have a favorable view of the mayor, compared to just 45 percent of Philadelphians.
The pollsters' focus on the Philadelphia suburbs rather than Philadelphians — whose children are actually in the city's public schools — suggests an approach to the city's schools that is more political than solutions-oriented.
Fifty-three percent of voters disapprove of Gov. Corbett, and 60 percent would like to see someone beat him in 2014. U.S. Rep Allyson Schwartz, the most high-profile of the many Democrats who have announced their gubernatorial candidacy, polls 12 points ahead.
The poll also finds that "Corbett especially struggles in the Pittsburgh media market, which helped propel him to victory in 2010." Only 24 percent of the Pittsburgh media market support Corbett, an area that he won with 56 percent of the vote in 2010.
The polls finds that those who support the PFT do so "out of their strong respect and allegiance to teachers" and "little distinction is made between the interests of the teachers and interests of their union."
In Philadelphia, the Teacher Action Group has created facesofthelayoffs.org to make tangible the human dimension of state cuts.
Cognizant of this pitfall, the poll emphasizes that Corbett's fight against "the Teachers' Union" requires that he "have visible teachers on his side."
Twenty-one percent of voters say that education is the most important problem facing the state, second only to the economy.

These are facts you are not telling!! Why are you promoting lies?? State funding has increased but the school boards are cutting blaming it on the state when they got themselves addicted to "Federal" money.
The $28.376 billion budget prioritizes a number of services. Education, workforce development, public safety and job creation investments all see increases in funding. This budget maintains the commitment to government transparency and further accountability for the state's dollars. Basic education funding is increased by $120 million in this year's budget, bringing the state's total investment in the Commonwealth's kindergarten through 12th-grade schools to $10 billion. In addition, Head Start and pre-kindergarten programs receive an extra $6.4 million, bringing the state's total combined investment in early childhood education to $126 million. Between the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), community colleges, the state-related universities and the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, which includes schools such as Penn State, Pitt, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, higher education received a combined total of $1.6 billion. To couple the Commonwealth's higher education with working experience,
PHEAA is also now funded for an additional internship grant program.

When I go to the new customer page, I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to a member function setObject() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\liveit\shop\app\design\frontend\default\default\template\customer\form\register.phtml on line 39
What can I do to correct this?
Plus the new customer pages go to the default Magento theme. How do I change it to reflect the new theme I am using?
Nobody has seen this before????
@amtechs, one possibility I could think is that your template is using different columns than the default's ones. I think the default Customer, account login page is one column. If you are not using one column, then you need to change the template in customer.xml.
Likely the fatal error is caused by the wrong template.
Thanks for the quick reply. I am new to Magento so I am working out the fundamentals right now.
Maybe you have a quick response for this:
I have downloaded the free Linen theme and started manipulating it. All my pages reflect that theme BUT the New Customer still reflect the "Magento Demo Store" Where do I change so, that my other pages reflect that theme also?
I thought the default changes (under System - Configuration - Design) would've changed those.
~scratching head~
Sorry, I don't know. I never work on the Linen theme and don't know what template it uses. As suggested above, customer.xml is the place I will look into. You probably will get the answer by contacting the theme author.

HP sells webOS operating system to LG Electronics
- Tweet
- Share this
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard Co said on Monday it will sell the webOS operating system to South Korea's LG Electronics Inc, unloading the smartphone software it acquired through a $1.2 billion acquisition of Palm in 2010.
LG will use the operating software, used in now-defunct Palm smartphones years ago, for its "smart" or Internet-connected TVs. The Asian electronics company had worked with HP on WebOS before offering to buy it outright.
Under the terms of their agreement, LG acquires the operating software's source code, associated documentation, engineering talent, various associated websites, and licenses under HP's intellectual property including patents covering fundamental operating system and user interface technology.
HP will retain the patents and all the technology relating to the cloud service of webOS, HP Chief Operating Officer Bill Veghte said in an interview.
"As we looked at it, we saw a very compelling IP that was very unique in the marketplace," he said, adding that HP has already had a partnership with LG on webOS before the deal was announced.
"As a result of this collaboration, LG offered to acquire the webOS operating system technology," Veghte said.
Skott Ahn, President and CTO, LG Electronics, said the company will incorporate the operating system in the Smart TV line-up first "and then hopefully all the other devices in the future."
Both companies declined to reveal the terms of the deal.
LG will keep the WebOS team in Silicon Valley and, for now, will continue to be based out of HP offices, Ahn said.
HP opened its webOS mobile operating system to developers and companies in 2012 after trying to figure out how to recoup its investment in Palm, one of the pioneers of the smartphone industry.
The company had tried to build products based on webOS with the now-defunct TouchPad tablet its flagship product.
HP launched and discontinued the TouchPad in 2010, a little over a month after it hit store shelves with costly fanfare after it saw poor demand for a tablet priced on par with Apple's dominant iPad.
WebOS is widely viewed as a strong mobile platform, but has been assailed for its paucity of applications, an important consideration while choosing a mobile device.

Mr. Stutzke constantly goes above and beyond what his position calls for at the school.

The guidance and advice Mr. Stutzke gave me over the years is what made myself and many other students successful.

Tesla starts offering cars in China with no Chinese name
- Tweet
- Share this
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA.O) has started offering its poplar Model S sedans in China, but the U.S. premium electric carmaker has yet to give its brand a Chinese name due to a long-running trademark dispute.
That has caused a buzz online with enthusiasts avidly guessing how Tesla will be named locally and even offering advice.
Tesla recently opened its first flagship store in downtown Beijing and this week launched a Chinese-language website to take orders from Chinese car buyers.
What's absent from the website, which has similar look and feel to its American counterpart, is Tesla's Chinese language name, a rare omission for global brands entering China.
That's because "Te Si La", the Chinese name best known among Chinese consumers, has been registered by a local businessman who has been refusing to give up the trademark.
Tesla's Beijing-based salesman Ma Li admitted Tesla has no Chinese name yet, adding he doesn't know when or whether there will be one. Tesla's Tokyo-based spokeswoman Atsuko Doi did not return an email seeking comment.
Zhan Baosheng, the businessman who registered "Te Si La" in 2006, has no intention at the moment to sell the Chinese-language trademark despite numerous requests from potential buyers, his agent, Guangdong-based Jinda Trademark Co, said on Thursday.
On Sina Weibo, China's twitter-like social networking site, some suggest that Tesla could use an alternative Chinese-language name, "Te Su Le", which means "happiness in boosting speed".
"Te Su Le can be more readily accepted in China and sounds luckier," a blogger said. "Don't forget to pay me if it is adopted eventually."
Michael Pu, another blogger, disagreed: "This name doesn't sound right. It's too vulgar."
This is not the first time a Chinese businessman has pre-empted global brands in registering local trademarks in a bid to sell them later for a profit.
For example, in 2012, Apple settled a lawsuit by agreeing to pay $60 million to a Chinese company for the legal rights to use the iPad trademark in China.
Legal experts familiar with trademark disputes in China said it might be difficult for Tesla to resolve the trademark issue unless it buys Zhan out or use another name.
China has rules that protect globally renowned brands, but that might not apply in the case of relatively new companies such as Tesla.
Tesla has other problems in China. In a letter to clients, it said that the price of Model S is not determined yet because China has not decided on its tax policies regarding imported electric cars.

Learning More About KDE's Plasma Next Desktop
Published on 21 February 2014 06:39 PM EST

Michael Larabel
115 Comments
For those KDE users wishing to learn more about the forthcoming "Plasma Next" desktop work alongside KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt5, there's new information available.
KDE developer Sebastian Kügler has written a new blog post with
details on Plasma Next at length
. The blog post was entitled "Next means Focus on the Core." Topics covered include the device form factors, interaction, the new graphics stack, and how everything is coming together.
To some entertainment, the
Plasma 2014.6 release schedule
that was finalized upon ended up having the same planned release date that I had
earlier written about for 17 June
when I was criticized by some KDE developers for mentioning that information back in January when it was on a public mailing list...
Overall, KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma Next appears to be making good progress and I look forward to the stable debut this summer.

The North East Italy region
Venice, Veneto
It's safe to say there's nowhere quite like Venice. Spread over 118 small islands, intersected by canals, connected by bridges and home to some of the world's finest architecture and artworks, it crams an embarrassment of riches into its five square kilometres. Little wonder the entire city is listed as a World Heritage Site.
So, where to start? St Mark's Basilica for many is the jewel in Venice's crown, with its opulent design, gilded mosaics and iconic Byzantine architecture, it never fails to be anything less than breathtaking. Of course, no trip is complete without a coffee in the grandiose Piazza San Marco whilst listening to the duelling orchestras or a romantic gondola trip along the Grand Canal.
Getting off the beaten track and exploring for yourself can be just as rewarding, for not all of this unique city's treasures are on obvious display.

I prefer the KID, and I win a lot of games with it. Every once in a while someone spanks me like a red-headed step-child, though. I guess that's the risk involved in playing a complex, double-edged opening system.
Dutch is better because after I won 1600 rating I'm only 1000
I like to play e5. It has interesting options for black.
If the white player is weak, he will be in trouble already in the 5th move. And if he is really very very weak, he will lose the game in about 8 moves.
If white plays correctly, its position will be better than black's. But he will not have a huge advantage either.
BANGA! BANGA! BANGA! THE DUTCH DEFENSE!...without these defense (which in my opinion is the best response to 1.d4) I would'nt have made it to 1700+ it was'nt for it (or 1.c4/1.Nf3...which will end up transposing to 2.d4 .../3.d4 .../4.d4 ... or a bit later d4). Oh Yeah it's better than the KID in my opinion!

Hello fellow Mincrafters,
I know you've all probably gotten tired of all the same 'ol same 'ol seeds like gargamel or walruswalruswalrus. So here I've come up with a few original seeds that I figured would add some change to what you see. Feel free to comment, I actually welcome it. Post your adventures of these seeds if you feel like it, add things I missed, share whatever you want about these seeds that will be helpful to the other users.
NOTE: There are no screen shots, I hope you will try these for yourself and see what they are like.
Name: Map11 (Yes, the Map11) 4/5
Village(s)- X:-411 Y:75 Z:-171 (NW)
Caves and Crevices - X:-59 y:66 Z:2
Decent map, a Cave Crawlers dee-light. With a sprawling cave system and several entrances around the village, this is guaranteed a great haul of iron and coal, plus the goodies such as, lapis, gold, and of course DIAMOND!! There is also a massive crevice with multiple cave systems in a camouflaged sand area (Cave). Snow to the SE and the Desert to the SW while the forest/plains/swamp lands cover the north side of the map
Name: Magic: The Gathering (Yep) 3/5
Village(s)- X:359 Y:73 Z:-180/ X:-204 Y:67 Z:-28/ X:36 Y:71 Z:-411/ X:-400 Y:64 Z:-220
Caves and Crevices- X:-82 Y:55 Z:-20/ X:48 Y:70 Z:-47
Good map to survive and thrive. Mostly wooded in central map with Plains to the SE, a Desert NE, Snow SW, and Ocean covering most the north with several islands dotting the area. Various caves spot the mainland, especially in the plains, which subdue the normal Mincrafters hunger. This map even includes a small mushroom biome (X:16 Y:106 Z:-311)
Name: .......... (That's 10 dots, periods, points, etc.)
Village(s)- None
Caves and Crevices- X:136 Y:69 Z:-284/ X:14 Y:67 Z:-300/ X:24 Y:66 Z:-188/ X:172 Y:73 Z:-262
Holy Crap is all I can say. This map blew my mind. This is for the adventurer, the miner, the mob slayer at the heart of every Minecrafter. Before I go into detail, the lay of the land. Most of the western map is Ocean with a few small islands NW. Central map I heavy wooded and I mean heavy. NE is the plains. These are very mountainous with many over hangs and rolling hills, a lot of which have small caves facing the ocean. The small caves are spotted on the hills facing the Ocean. Given the location of these caves and the fact that they're a dead end with little resources, this layout makes perfect for a network dwelling. With thinking, planning, and hard work, these caves could make one helluva hillside, or underground, home. The SE is shared by a small Desert and a small winter wonderland with another small Snow land in the SW. From the little bit of exploring I did I found two(2) dungeons, I will let you find them yourself. No fun in telling you where everything is. And the Coup de Gras is what I think of as Underground Awesomeness. This is a small hole in the ground, that once entered is a massive underground cave, I mean MASSIVE (X:196 Y:71 Z:4) the only downside to this map is no Villages.
I hope you enjoy and I will be adding more at least weekly. Thank You

I have not tried to bolt the head up as of yet but there are maybe minor adjustments to the length of the shaft that might have to be made. The hole might be closer to the top of the Align shaft, which will mean shortening the Blade shaft slightly, or if it is further, drilling a new hole for the Align head in the Blade shaft. I can't see it being a big fitting problem as the 4 blade head I have was for the Align heli and all I needed to do was drill out the hole in the 400's shaft for the larger Jesus bolt of the Align and make custom linkages. Take care.

I took out some of the aluminum upgrades and went back to the plastic parts and that - believe it or not - took out quite a bit of the slop. I only had three extra shims so I've got four on one side and three on the other. That seemed to help as well. The o-rings don't really fit in the E-Flite aluminum head very well. I've still got a few plastic heads but I didn't feel like disassembling the flybar cage again. A friend and fellow club member has a couple of Align T-Rex 450 o-rings that he's going to give me to see if that further stiffens things up. I'll put a test-flight on it soon to see if these adjustments have helped.

Mine is running about the same headspeed (2.9k to 3.0k in a hover) depending on battery pack, I'm not sure I would want to go much over 3.0k on the stock head, maybe 3.2, not without serious eye protection anyway!
On a different note I planned on flying the B400 at lunch today but a worn ball link on the flybar cage means I will have to change that out instead. This seems to be a reoccuring thing on my B400, I need to change one of these about every 50 flights. |
Nov 24, 2010, 08:48 PM | |
Had the maiden flight today that wasnt really a flight....When it would get light on the skids all it wanted to do was just put the nose into the ground. The morre throttle i gave it the more it tipped. i eventually pushed it to much and shredded the blades. No amount of pulling back the cyclic kept the nose from going in. Are my servos possibly in the wrong slots?
Nov 24, 2010, 09:51 PM | |
Throttle shouldn't be mixed with cyclic, but it should be mixed with collective, that is, increasing/reducing throttle will also cause all 3 servos to move the swash up & down in unison (collectively). How much the swash moves depends on swash mix settings for pitch and your pitch curves. If fewer than 3 servos move along with throttle changes then something's not right ...

Tyler Colvin sent down to Triple-A

06:40 PM ET 03.30 | The Colorado Rockies won't have Tyler Colvin on their opening day roster, as the team has sent him down to Triple-A to start the 2013 season. Todd Helton will eventually need a replacement at first base, and Colvin's too good of a player to be playing in Triple-A. Personally, I thought his season last year was enough to help him make the roster at the start of the season. I didn't even really expect him to be in the discussion for possible demotions. Either way, Colvin will be beginning the season in Triple-A, and Jordan Pacheco, Jonathan Herrera and Eric Young Jr. all made the team over him. For a guy who hit 18 home runs, and drove in 72 runs, while collecting a solid .290 batting average, I'm pretty surprised that a poor spring resulted in him being demoted.
He shouldn't have just phoned it in this spring and hit .167. Colvin is a backup outfielder who struggles with consistancy. Eric Young beat him out and Pacheco is Helton's primary backup at first.

Who is the guy in the picture? Looks like he's wearing a Mariners' uniform, not Rockies or even Cubs (Tyler's previous team).

New College of Florida student presents dolphin Research on Capitol Hill
Date: May 1, 2013
by: Yaryna Klimchak | Community Editor
New College of Florida fourth-year psychology student Katherine Newton visited Capitol Hill April 23 and 24 to present her thesis project on dolphins' use of echolocation.
Newton was one of 60 chosen from a pool of more than 800 applicants and presented her work as part of the Council of Undergraduate Research's Posters. Her visit included briefings, field trips, lectures, and meetings with Rep. Vern Buchanan and staff members for Sen. Bill Nelson and Sen. Marco Rubio.
Newton examined echolocation or the way dolphins use a sort of sonar to identify objects in their environment. She examined whether dolphins "ping" all aobjects the same way, or whether they could decrease their clicks for objects they are familiar with or can identify easily. Newton compares the research to the way humans search for objects in their own home that they frequently use ir an object in someone else's home. Previous research found that a dolphins' echolocation is incredibly precise and they are even able to distinguish two identical shapes made from different allots of metal.
Newton interned with Mote Marine Laboratory last year and is considering working with animals before going to graduate school.

It's time to update my website and this is what I like most from my previous attempts. Every time I want to redesign it I end up with a version I like only for a week or so. So I have to act fast :). Maybe it's a designer thing, I don't know.
The fact is right now I'm looking for a PSD to HTML service provider to handle the slicing and make it responsive and add some jQuery. Can anyone point me some? If you do, have you worked with them, are they serious?
Seeger Mattijs
Looking good! Can't help you on the psd to html services because I code my website on my own. Nice Design but I think the green-blue header is too large
Stefan Irava
@Seeger Mattijs thanks! indeed is a bit too large but it will resize in height according to the user screen resolution. At least this is what I have in mind :).
Seeger Mattijs
I thought so!
Simon von Allmen
looks nice!
David de Beun
Looks cool, looking forward to see it in a browser
Stefan Irava
Thanks guys! @David de Beun, me too :)
Michael Muccioli
Why would you slice that when all of it should be able to be done with a little html, css, and jquery?
Looks great though!

Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)
Or three Dennis and Callahan. Joining us on the AT&T outline AT&T forgy LT -- the president and CEO of the Boston Red Sox Larry Lucchino good morning Larry morning. I'm wondering are the Sox receiving intense intense pressure for interest groups to change Saturday's event from Christmas at Fenway to holiday at Fenway honest you know there. Hasn't been any yet intense pressure to do that -- assists and wait to accommodate what opinion tradition. But there is say yes and holiday -- we are trying to do. Expand the weekends and Friday night Moseley holiday bash sort of open -- -- that way side day and thank you for mentioning it more so Christmas is. -- -- Saturday is a. And a big day for us it's the beginning of tickets sales people and I think it is Christmas presents and in body -- -- which are really popular so clinics or -- -- until like about this one yeah you saw like what that'd do it ultimately it. It's it's a great opportunity to get tickets early and persuaded to -- courses. -- -- -- dot com Michael affect the outcome about it. That would help Larry you don't really help this event if you like needs so I saw Josh Hamilton today -- -- -- It was that would help them get the mr. Kelly -- haven't spoken to you a little while and now activities since the election and I know we shouldn't talk politics and so on that note you guys very. Having to be eating food Orleans. Having survived you guys okay. It was difficult I have to say I mean it was it was that as discourage -- that day but as. It was painful especially when I talked to people argue hard work and people honest people. Who on Election Day walk in the war in both with their heads up their rectum and vote for that not Elizabeth Warren help you -- I -- of their last night weren't you. Actually he was at the cure epilepsy that last night -- yeah I did here that are and that. I don't -- -- so much. About does the in particular race we should award politics as won't be sure you guys were okay. No no doubt -- question about the food to answer your question about the food I I am a stocking up on powdered fish just to save money so when the tax raised the increased. It -- -- a dozen times did you fare share yeah you and Larry rich guys like you. You're right wing. And lastly you know vote listeners out there so let's pack was -- peaceful Christmas. It's been lately every bit. I know you as much as anybody over there has your ear to the ground do you hear the low level buzz in Red Sox Nation waiting for something anything to happen player acquisition -- David Ross doesn't have them. Jack and pumped in Red Sox Nation. Well I think that's right yeah we're all. Eager to see this off season there -- some fruit and our priority has but the ability honest about it the quick decisions on manager and coaching staffs of the relatively quick decision to sign get David Ortiz signed. The you know -- it and don't -- -- David -- use them outside after a catcher. Well known for his defense skills and him but we had. We'll have another announcement coming put shortly regarding corner outfielder but until. Certain. Physicals and things are completed we're not going to be talked. -- his initials CR by any chance. I know. -- about JH. Just waited two hole and I just sports but I do -- I wanna go buy tickets I can't go buy tickets or should tell me that's. -- player who misses. -- like it I can't do it should not not the appropriate to albeit. I's are dotted and the -- occur on. Blacks Larry. And not necessarily in terms of the main. Makers came to do it in the society. Corner outfielder that's close territory immediate. Field first base. Little of -- church of. We have on some things to do this offseason. But we are we're gonna do them. We -- is only. With today's the last stadium remembered. There are a lot of players we've acquired in recent years we -- -- January Cody Ross and you mentioned it got late January question David Ortiz. We signed in early January in 2003 when he came here he gave Beltre signed in Beijing January. So there's plenty of time in the offseason but we recognize that. We have got some work to do some players sign. And some old Brazil. No Larry I know you won't tell us based on what you just wouldn't say any specifics about people -- -- pursuing -- about the sign let me ask you this have you ruled anybody out as too risky Josh Hamilton or too expensive Joe -- Create and our I'm just talking in terms of acquisition you have to trade for Joe Mauer obviously but -- you have you have you guys -- people -- in Zack Greinke in this discipline era that we were talking about as to riskier too expensive. Which they we have some predilections but we haven't ruled anyone out and we're not get a get into it. 78 year deal as we have done before he's all we have brought out is that kind of long term. Gigantic -- commitment. Two would -- players. It's if at all possible when I cannot. -- set hard and fast rule that says nothing is. Not a what are we done it all falling lives always has some kind of exception to the general presumption that the general presumption is that. We will go after everyone but avoid gigantic a long term deals are more concerned about years -- we -- dollars. Who it's interesting. So well. He's beaten or was that them John Tomas you wrote a column but two weeks ago sent suggesting that you make big offers some of these free agents. For a year -- coached to three years just. So that was it was quite interesting. Well yeah as a general proposition you know against certain certain situations that may deal away which to attract someone yeah I do believe that the dangers. -- you face in free agency in particular are are the dangers of of like and that. -- happier if financial capacity and making extra long commitment because of the pressure competitiveness of free agency this signing someone. You might like to sign for three years and years and the free agency market analysts and -- five or six years. And then you have to do it because you don't know what the other close to do at least. It's not an open negotiations supplying -- apply adoption until this week and that's that sometimes leads to all and debilitating to objects. Larry sand on this show early last season that your opening day payroll was 193. Now. It would be real hard for for bench Eric tonight and you guys to get anywhere close to that this year by opening day. If you're only up at like 14150. In the ticket prices the same what happens to. That money the does that do you to you put all that your pocket. Oh well becomes available for. Signings during the course of the year not at a -- our budget was there is subscribe. I'm -- I must -- acknowledging this to a public story after opening day. We turtle boy did any discussion of what dollar budget parameters are tested for other clubs about. What we may or may not do what capacity we may -- may not have with respect to certain players. So keep that -- -- deep dark secrets but -- remember whatever we spend. What are the payroll looks like -- in January or February. There are plenty of opportunities during the course of the year that they. Significant. Some ideas and seismic changes in that that's look at what happened with the that the -- transaction question -- an example of midseason transaction. -- had a profound effect on me on the bottom line not payroll number. So he gives us a capacity. To add to the team during the course of the season I do believe as -- heard -- -- From for a long time the July 31 acquisitions. Can be critical to a teams success. The second half of the season and in the postseason. So if we ended up with -- Capacity. To make significant move seated during the course of the season or especially era to like 31 but I think we can make good use today it. The money used to refer to it. Larry your estimation is -- rare or standard operating procedure that the principal owner would meet with a potential free agent when he comes to town refer of course to John Henry sitting on the Mike Napoli. Oh it's not it's not common we've certainly done that before -- there's a part of free agency that's a little bit like fraternity rush and you've got to make a player. You often -- testament to -- aware that you really do want him -- begin. A fair opportunity to understand the this situation he's putting -- into the culture of the new club. So what we have. Often resorted to say often from time to time we get resorted to the listed dinners and opportunities for. -- -- Too good to meet so -- So -- would be afraid. But it does on itself indicate. Increased interest higher interest. Yeah I think it would have put it -- is a an effort. Commitment at the highest levels. The club to work to make this team better. This is not today copy. Of forward John. Our ownership group this is a commitment to us. To winning baseball -- Red -- these guys and they want to win and they understand how important it is. In this community that we provide. Winning entertaining baseball. And they want to. Make this team better so there's -- way they can help and that is that process that are very introduce them. Q do you believe as a baseball guy Larry that your corner outfield positions at first base or particular left field Fenway. Is that a power position you need power do you need a hundred -- got there or can you be competitive if you have say. Cody Ross in left and or Jonny Gomes and Cody Ross in right and Mike Napoli first has had enough power for a team that expects to contend every year. You know I don't know the if you can get in the abstract that is the power has to be at left fielder has to be. -- corner outfield positions corner infield positions are traditionally. Positions where -- power has been valued. Facility is a -- to do it is they have a power that position but years ago which succeeded in. I think but it didn't infusion of power to shortstop position with cal Ripken when decision was made to move cal Ripken the shortstop. Instead of having power has done that there are basically a power church stopped. And and good fielding at third base so there are ways to balance the end of the equation. And at -- certainly needs. And slugging power to win its quality critical ingredients and the weather has to be important positions. Is it is addicted to date. Would you say if there isn't an inordinate amount or the normal amount of interest from other teams in some of your current players. I would say that there's just the normal while to. I haven't seen any special. Momentum developed over the course because this offseason but again it's very early in the offseason. We'd like to do things. This quickly as possible one record dad say -- David or peace and and John about don't -- Examples. Put decisions -- important franchise. But there is an element of patience -- to court you gotta see you -- market develops there are players to follow through the cracks. I -- -- -- couple that we signed in January. And so there's certain elements of patience is this record. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Yeah I know I know try to quick question is there even a residue of truth to the story became on the Kansas and started -- -- the Red Sox might have. Bumps are -- dormitory -- up. A series Uribe residue of truth to the story that came out in the Kansas City Star early this week about the possibility of the Sox willing to deal. Lester for the top prospect will Myers. You know that's exactly the kind of question I can't answer story that's here. -- your first tenure in new -- Pro Bowl. And I just not -- deal with the rumors and speculation about the possible. Possible world trade that there may or may not develop what it's slippery -- what just -- talking about the I'm afraid I got to take a pass to balance you know you want. -- one quick follow up if indeed the corner outfield you're talking about his Jonny Gomes or Jonny Gomes type would you still pursue. It Cody Ross because to me they seem like the same kind of player. They're there's is there is obvious similarity to be sure but yes the answers to that is yes. What we want to have this year and we as a and -- -- capacity to do it is deep depth. -- phrase you've heard me use before and -- yeah redundancy is intentional we wanted deep depth. We we we experience. Epidemic like injuries in the last couple years we've had to go with some. Untried players so -- the velocity. It is widely held in the organization just had various it -- particularly strong advocates and policy report that you. And that it is something that we. Are determined to protect ourselves against -- restructured our medical status this year. In I think -- comprehensive. And better way. But it more importantly to that injuries are inevitable and perhaps not the cascade that we had in recent years. But they given the injuries they're gonna take place. We want to have deep depth and -- that means we have some redundancy here and there so be it. Would you vote for bonds or Clemens on your hall of fame ballot if you had one Larry. -- -- and I just took -- Haluska and yeah I think today. Or Roger Clemens -- as it is. These Trout about some personal good feelings I have for him as the government all the little bit and recent years but don't have the same kind of competition was sponsor. So those -- I think both ball we'd be in the hall of fame you do course yeah I think so ultimately they did that at some point so whether there's some kind of purgatory like period just -- it's expected -- on the part of some. Of voters for they have to do that this probably yes. But Durham. That's that's above my pay grade at least one of the of the media has got to do. What about Curt Schilling would you vote for him. But it's a little different you gotta admit that these circumstances are a little different. Same answer listen I -- problems some decisions are gonna make to do hypotheticals like just. I could just say he's a great postseason pitcher and that's the strongest argument to four fortunately his postseason record was extraordinary -- -- something you can answer will what do you give us the timetable on when the announcement -- today for the next PA announcer. That's important. Yeah actually. It's kind of they've been pushed to the back burner since the end of the season and the need for -- so we don't have a timetable for it. But I certainly think so that they person -- will be in place. Bye -- -- beginning of the this season and probably. -- may use this spring training and the spring training and see game design opportunities there's some. I'll address your personal solo I don't think it's it's is inevitable as tomorrow but not so evidently is an old expression I think it's so my guess is that he -- Sometimes and that then of course spring training but there aren't there are some people on the edge of their seat suite at about a hundred more consistently yes. Quantity in. And the new additions to the team. A final question for me Larry has the organization decided its ultimate course of action as Jacoby Ellsbury enters the final year of his contract in terms of how you're going to deal with him going forward. Well resource center fielder and weird they're -- to those discussions active discussions. With regard to him. But I am aware of you don't know if someone's got to come -- and make you a proposal but our plan is to. It's too good and Jacoby LC toasters or center fielder this year or. All right Larry good talk and yet Merry Christmas my friend. Also think UN I think you know Christmas don't forget Christmas at Fenway this that are able to. All of you were atheists get a lineup -- the -- just gonna lineup they have one outright regular. It doesn't tell heavily AT&T AT&T forgy you know you just wish you were at that meant so all the pictures off -- Mike -- Arnold and Warren who has axle rod David ax I've got heaps.
