Ultimate Reports Q1 2009 Financial Results.
WESTON, Fla. -- Ultimate Software (Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, announced today its financial results for the first quarter of 2009. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2009, Ultimate reported total revenues of $48.8 million, an increase of 12%, and recurring revenues of $30.9 million, a 20% increase, both compared with 2008's first quarter. GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, versus GAAP net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2009, which excludes stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles, was $1.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $3.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008, which also excluded stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles.
"Our 2009 first quarter recurring revenues were in line with our expectations, and our annualized customer retention rate remained strong at 97%. We finished the quarter with 931 associates and were able to exceed our projected operating margin goal by 50%," said Scott Scherr, CEO, president, and founder of Ultimate.
Ultimate's financial results teleconference will be held today, April 28, 2009, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, through Vcall at http://www.investorcalendar.com/IC/CEPage.asp?ID=143278. The call will be available for replay at the same address beginning at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time the same day. Windows Media Player or Real Player software is required to listen to the call and can be downloaded from the site. Forward-looking information about future company performance will be discussed during the teleconference call.
Financial Highlights
* Recurring revenues - consisting of maintenance revenues, Intersourcing revenues from our software-as-a-service offering of UltiPro and subscription revenues from per-employee-per-month fees generated by business service providers - grew by 20% for the first quarter of 2009 versus the first quarter of 2008. Intersourcing revenues and, to a lesser extent, maintenance revenues, were the principal factors in the growth of recurring revenues. Excluding the subscription revenues generated from Ultimate's agreement with Ceridian Corporation which ended in March 2008 and is, therefore, not included in the recurring revenues for the first quarter of 2009, recurring revenues grew by 27.4% as compared to the same period of the prior year.
* The operating margin (on a non-GAAP basis) for the first quarter of 2009 was $2.9 million, or 5.9%.
* Ultimate's annualized retention rate remained at 97% for its existing recurring revenue customer base.
* The combination of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities was $24.5 million as of March 31, 2009. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company generated $3.5 million in cash from operations. There was no activity under the Company's previously announced stock repurchase plan.
* Days sales outstanding were 60 days at March 31, 2009, representing a reduction of 11 days compared with days sales outstanding at December 31, 2008.
Financial Outlook
Ultimate Software has decided to discontinue providing guidance with respect to annual recurring revenues, (or "ARR"), based on the Company's belief that, over time, this metric has become less meaningful as a forecasting tool primarily as a result of the addition of the Company's Workplace offering and various new products having different deployment cycles and pricing.
Instead, the Company will provide quarterly financial guidance for key financial metrics related to its financial statements such as recurring revenues, total revenues and operating margins. The practice of providing quarterly financial guidance was first adopted by Ultimate for its fourth quarter of 2008.
2009 Financial Guidance:
Ultimate provides the following financial guidance for the second quarter ending June 30, 2009 and full year 2009:
For the second quarter of 2009:
* Recurring revenues to range between $32 million and $33 million, representing a 26% to 30% increase over the same period in the prior year;
* Total revenues to range between $47 million and $48 million, representing a 13% to 16% increase over the same period in the prior year; and
* Operating margins, on a non-GAAP basis (discussed below), of approximately 3%.
For the year 2009:
* Recurring revenues to increase by 27% to 30% in 2009 compared with 2008;
* Total revenues to increase by 13% to 15% compared with 2008; and
* Operating margins, on a non-GAAP basis (discussed below), of between 6% and 7%.
Operating margins expectations are based on the same methodologies as those identified in the accompanying disclosure located in the "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures."
Non-cash equity-based compensation expense for 2009 is expected to be approximately $13.5 million. Beginning in 2009, the Company revised its equity compensation plan for its employees whereby all grants for equity compensation will be in the form of restricted stock units in lieu of non-qualified stock options.
Forward-Looking Statements

The following table sets forth the stock-based compensation expense (excluding the income tax effect, or "gross") resulting from share-based arrangements and the amortization of acquired intangibles that are recorded in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods indicated (in thousands):
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Ultimate believes that non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Management of the Company uses these non-GAAP results to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining executive incentive compensation, and for budget and planning purposes. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and in quarterly financial reports presented to the Company's Board of Directors. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures.
To compensate for these limitations, the Company presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results. Ultimate strongly urges investors and potential investors in the Company's securities to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release (under the caption "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures") and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
Ultimate presents the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. We exclude the following items from these non-GAAP financial measures as appropriate:
Stock-based compensation. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation, which consists of expenses for stock options and stock awards recorded in accordance with SFAS 123(R). For the three months ended March 31, 2009, stock-based compensation was $3.3 million on a pre-tax basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, stock-based compensation was $4.6 million on a pre-tax basis. Stock-based compensation expenses are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures because they are non-cash expenses that the Company does not consider part of ongoing operations when assessing its financial performance. The Company believes that such exclusion provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's operating results because these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate the comparison of results of ongoing operations for current and future periods with such results from past periods. The dilutive effect of all outstanding options is included in the calculation of pre-tax income and net income per diluted share on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. In accordance with GAAP, operating expenses include amortization of acquired intangible assets over the estimated useful lives of such assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the amortization of acquired intangible assets was $46 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the amortization of acquired intangible assets was $46 thousand. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from the Company's non-GAAP financial measures because it is a non-cash expense that the Company does not consider part of ongoing operations when assessing its financial performance. The Company believes that such exclusion facilitates comparisons to its historical operating results and to the results of other companies in the same industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories.

Doug Robinson: Doug Robinson: SUU's Levins runs large number of miles to reach lofty goals
"I thought I'd experiment with it," he says. "I thought I had to make another jump (in improvement) for my final season. Mileage was one of the only things I could do to make the jump I wanted to. I knew the Kenyans had done it. I'd heard of athletes in the '70s who did it. I thought it was the way to compete with the Africans. Some say (Kenyans excel) because of genetics, but I think it's a matter of understanding how hard they're working and how much they are running."
He bumped up his mileage from 15 a day to 20 a day leading up to his junior year and liked the results: a 3:59 mile and a qualifying berth in the NCAA championships, where he finished last in the trials. Last summer he decided to bump up his mileage again, this time to 30 a day. Again, the results were good: a 3:57.16 mile in the Millrose Games, third- and fourth-place finishes in the indoor NCAA championships at 3,000 and 5,000 meters, respectively, followed by the outdoor performances at Mt. SAC and Stanford.
Levins usually runs three times a day, totaling 25 to 30 miles four days a week, 20 miles two days a week, and 10 miles one day a week. That means he spends four to five hours a day on the run. It's an exhausting routine and one that requires him to take naps during the day.
"I seem to be holding together doing this kind of mileage," he says, "but I do have to be really careful and listen to my body. Running 30 miles in a day once isn't hard, but it was a while before I could string them together."
Looking ahead to the London Games, he says, "Like any young athlete, I dreamed of going to the Olympics. I felt like I was a long ways from it. It was the end goal and suddenly I'm almost there."
While wary of Levins' training methods, Eyestone says, "Cam is the real deal. He has all the tools to make it at the elite level. He has something that I would have loved to have had — the ability to change gears and sprint well at the end of a hard grinding race. Half the battle is making it to the starting line healthy. If Cam can continue to rack up the mileage without getting sidelined with tendonitis, stress fractures or a half-dozen other overuse injuries that are always waiting in the wings, he will be a force at the international level."

Customer Reviews
Here's how I see it
Ok so this app is amazing and hilarious and when I see people talking about collective I just want to punch them because you can't stop people from posting anime and stuff. I read this one review and it said that most of the pictures and pornagrafic pictures and child pornagrafy and it not at all it every once and a while you'll come acrosse a sexual picture of gif but you will never see anything. Also when people say that the features are not funny I laugh at them because the ifunny team choses the pictures for the features by people that like photos in collective. Lastly I read that the ifunny team would not delete a child's account when the parent is obviously oblivious to the fact that they can just delete the account themselves. Ifunny is the best app on my phone I hope you are reading this.
Daily Dose of Laughter
This is a great app full of laughter, sure once in a while in the collective section I'll come across some depressing stuff or something about boobs, but it has everything I desire. The featured stuff is hilarious and sometimes I'll find anime in the Collective that I just have to like. Honestly this app makes me happier. But, I have an iPhone4 and it is constantly glitching ever since the new update. I can open the app but the whole phone will freeze and my only escape is the home button, unless I want to turn of my phone. I would like it much more if this were fixed. Thanks. ^_^
Awful, terrible, horrendous
Lemme get this straight -- iFunny could be a great app. But it's not. The team that picks "features" every day, which are supposedly the best material, only seems to pick relatable or sexual things, not truly funny things that make you laugh. Then, collective, all the stuff that was submitted but not featured, is full of random, not at all funny pictures like those of cars, anime chicks, and fandom pictures that wouldn't be funny even if you were in the fandom. This means that to get to the good content, you have to wade through hundreds of other pictures. The two salvations are that when you find a good content creator, you can subscribe to them and their new content will appear in your subscription box, separate from other content. Also, you can scroll through all of your likes.

Looking for a ladies cape pattern
Hi everybody,
I just found you today. I am looking for a cape pattern. I had the very one until sometime in the 1980s and one day while cleaning house, I decided to go through my knitting bag and I threw out the pattern for the cape because it was too small and I did not know how to make it any larger. Now, I want to make a cape again and I don't have the pattern. This cape was rounded at the bottom and it had arm slits on both sides and it was open down the front and it closed using 4 or 5 buttons (I remember that I used large buttons on the top, but underneath, I used snaps so that the front snapped closed.) It had a collar, but it was not a stand up collar. It was knit flat to go with the front and it was knit at the same time the body of the cape was. It was knit in three pieces on size 8 needles. I regret that I don't have any of the capes that I made so that I can copy one. Does anybody have a pattern or a link for me to check out?

Basement Stairs
I'm in the process of having our basement stairs rebuilt. First of all, the contractor is using pressure treated wood à isn't that dangerous, especially for my cats whose litter boxes are in the basement? At first he built the first group. Then there is a landing, and then the rest of the stairs. He started the stairs flush w/ the kitchen floor. Needless to say the last step was about 3" to 4" higher that the others. I can't even reach the landing. Not to mention carrying the laundry down. I'll probably kill myself. So then he redid them. The wood is split, he used economy nails and the landing is still a stretch. I don't know what to do. My husband says leave it alone. Apparently confrontation for my cats and my safety is to no consequence to him. I have already voiced my opinion, and to do so may make me out to a female dog. What is your advice? Let it go, cut my loses or insult the contractor by voicing my concerns??????????? Sometimes I just hate being a woman...
Stairways are a very simple math problem,(of course you need to know division and, how to read a tape measure).
The maximum height difference tred to tred is 1/8".
Don't worry about the pressure trested.
Tell your "contractor"???, to fix it, per building code.
Your hubby is wrong to ignore this as the stairs are unsafe. Just the fact that nails are being used instead of screws tells you they wont be holding up even if the proper rise and tread widths were there. Your contractor obviously isn't a stair cutter/builder and lacks experience. Like decks, done wrong, they simply are not safe. I would seek out a reputable carpenter who has many years experience with stair cutting/installs and have your contractor involved with the payment.Work somethng out but dont simply ignore this as it could be an accident waiting to happen
Here is a link that might be useful: taunton stair building books
1. Pressure treated wood === No problem
2. Starting flush with existing floor ==== No problem and actually recommended by a lot of contractors, I usually build a landing at the top of the stairs then start the steps.
3. Nails vs Screws === No problem Nails were/are good enough for houses fifty to a hundred years old, and a lot of them are still holding up very nicely. If you prefer screws than tell the contractor and he/she should not have any problem with that.
4. DIFFERENT RISER/STEP HEIGHT == VERY LARGE PROBLEM, DO NOT LEAVE THEM THAT WAY, IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. Even a difference of 1/4 to 1/2 inch is noticeable and could cause someone to stumble and fall. Fire this poor excuse for a contractor and find someone that knows what they are doing!!!!!!
I agree with Shadetree Bob right down the line, with the additional thought that PT wood, while not dangerous to you or your cats, is also unnecessary unless your basement floods regularly. Stairs of varying heights are wrong, wrong, wrong. The fact that your "contractor" has to be told -- convinced! -- of this means it's time to get rid of him.
You shouldn't need an intermediate landing if the total rise is less than 12 ft. If the door opens toward the stairway there should be a landing at that location. Most building codes limit the riser height difference in a run to 3/8".
The new lower arsenic (higher copper) pressure treated wood will not be a problem for humans or cats but there is no reason to use it for the treads or anything that is not in contact with the basement floor. Heavy duty steel hangers should be used due to increased corrosion. Why not use standard 5/4 thick pre-cut hard pine or fir treads that have a bullnose?
Be sure to install a handrail and perhaps non-slip tread covering for safety.
You shouldn't be using a carpenter who needs to be told any of this.

What's New
GLTools [root] (gfx optimizer)
GLTools is a custom OpenGLES driver (proxy), that is compatible with any known OpenGLES 2.0-compatible GPU + ARM or x86 processor. If you still don't understand, what this app is, the closest known analog is Chainfire3D.
Features list:
- Change resolution and rendering bitness in any app, even if it doesn't support that by default.
- Change GPU name and enjoy enhanced graphics even on a noname low-end GPU.
- Take full control over textures: now you can decompress/recompress them (even if your GPU doesn't support that texture format) and resize. Note that decompression feature is available only if you'll install a plugin (internet is required to do that)
- Optimize shaders on-the-fly for optimal performance (the same optimizer is used in Unity3D engine by default)
- Enable MSAA or CSAA in any app to improve graphics quality (make sure that your GPU supports that)
- Measure gained performance with a nice onscreen FPS counter (or you can output FPS information to Logcat if you are a pro)
GLTools is 100% safe if you have a custom recovery installed (and you didn't disable backup in GLTools install dialog), if you'll find it non-working, you can just flash uninstall_gltools.zip in recovery and email me with details (or request a refund).
Tested on:
- HTC One X
- Nexus 7 2013
Failed on:
- Some Samsung devices (random). The lowest success rate is with SGN3 and SGS4 (thx to Knox). Installing a custom kernel can help, this problem is firmware-related. The same for Lenovo devices.
Legal information:
By using this app, you agree to all the following terms:
User is responsible to make sure that any plugins he uses are legal to use. All texture plugins (except for Default) are written by independent developers and are placed on a 3rd-party webserver (except for Default which is builtin), which has nothing to do with me, a GLTools author, except for that I provide a simple in-app browser to install them (as all we know, browser creators have nothing to do with any abusive Internet content, the same thing here).
User is responsible to make sure that this app won't cause any EULA violation. GLTools is designed for debugging of apps that user is author of, any other usage is not officially supported. Anyway, this app changes system libraries only and doesn't cause any binary modification of 3rd-party apps.
All trademark usage is nominative, nominative usage is Fair Use, it doesn't require any permission from trademark holder. Any trademarks are the property of their owners anyway.
If you think that GLTools itself is illegal, you can always contact me via firstname.lastname@example.com

NOMone Resolution Changer
Requires root on Android 4.3 and higher.
Virtual button requires root on all platforms.
- Gamers: Some games feel choppy? Decrease the resolution while you play to improve performance significantly.
- Developers: You can test your application UI for different devices by changing resolution and density to match your target devices. The application provides many templates for flagship devices to select from.
Two Android shell commands control screen resolution and density (dots per inch):
am display-size
am display-density
For Android 4.3 and higher, these two commands were moved from am to wm. Now they are:
wm size
wm density
This application nicely wraps these two commands so you can try different settings quickly and easily. It doesn't implement these functions, it merely uses them. So, if they don't behave well on your device then there is nothing we can do about it, please don't rate us down. We are just trying to make things easier.
Important notes:
- This application is not intended to change your device resolution and density once and for all. Use it only when needed then restore the default settings.
- When applying new settings, if things get messed up, don't do anything and the normal settings will be restored in a few seconds.
Some launchers don't feel the changes immediately and may show broken icons and other visual artifacts. Restarting the launcher manually should fix this. Some home screen icons may cover other icons due to lack of space. Try moving them around to reveal the covered ones. Some hardware vendors design their software to work with the devices' native resolutions and densities only. If you experience problems, consider installing different launchers and keyboards to fix the issues.
- If your device doesn't have hardware buttons and depends on on-screen controls, the controls may have problems on certain resolutions. They may appear in both portrait and landscape orientations or only one of them. Try increasing the size of the smaller dimension a bit and they should appear in both orientations. Otherwise, you can just enable the virtual buttons and ignore the entire problem.
- Choosing resolutions with the same aspect ratio of you device's original screen resolution maximizes the usable screen area.
- If you are using a mobile phone, the width should always be the smaller value of the resolution (width, height) pair. If you are using a tablet, the width should always be the larger value of the resolution (width, height) pair. This allows the resolutions you select to cover the largest screen area possible. You can still do the opposite, but then less screen area will be used to display your applications.
- The display resolution isn't the only factor affecting games' performance. Reducing resolution will significantly increase the frame rate up to certain limits, after which further reduction will not produce notable differences. For example, here are the results of nenamark 2 benchmark of a certain test device:
34.1 fps at 1280x800
41.2 fps at 1024x640
47.0 fps at 800x500
49.0 fps at 480x300 => the pixels count decreased dramatically from 800x500 (64% less pixels), but achieved very little performance gain for the huge quality loss. Experience with different resolutions until you find the best trade-off between quality and performance.
- All templates are based on information from gsmarena.com. Tell us if you to add a certain device to the list.

Link2SD Plus (New)
This app is a license key only, requeries the Link2SD (free) app and turns it into Plus edition, removes ads and unlocks additional features. You will see "Link2SD Plus" on the title in Link2SD (free) app.
Plus features added
✔ Links internal data directory of apps to SD card
You need to use a non-FAT file system (ext2, ext3, ext4 or f2fs) on your 2nd partition. Because the FAT file system (FAT16, FAT32 or exFAT) does not support UNIX file ownership or permissions and causes a security breakdown of app's private files.
✔ Links external data and obb folders of apps and games to SD card
✔ Links dex files of the system apps to SD card
✔ Auto clear cache service
✔ Removes ads from Link2SD
**** Note for old Link2SD Plus users ****
Due to a problem with Google Play the package name of the app has changed and published as a new app.
It is the same as the old one, you can continue to use old version. You can reinstall the old version from "Play Store -> My apps -> ALL".
But if you want to or need to install the new one please send me your old order number (transaction id). I'll refund it so you can purchase the new one.
**** Support & Upgrades / Reinstalls ****
● Keep "Link2SD Plus" installed and do not freeze (disable) it.
● Link2SD Plus purchase is per Google account for purchases on Play Store, all upgrades and reinstalls are free.
● You can install Link2SD Plus on any device for free as long as you use the same Google account you bought it with. Note that for Google Play Store purchases if you have multiple Google accounts on the device, your "original" Google account should be selected in Play Store (side menu => top-right white arrow next to your account).
If you're getting license error
This is reported in the following cases:
● Play Store app not loaded. Please start Play Store app and wait until it fully loads start page. Play Store app can fail to load, for example, during its self-updating. Please wait until it fully loads, then start Link2SD again
● internet connection is not available/unstable or Play Store app/services are blocked from internet. It requires a network connection for the first license check. But then you can go offline for a period of time before requiring another license check. Caching is enabled for license check.
● Link2SD Plus is in fact not licensed/order is incomplete/refunded/canceled. Please open your transactions in "wallet.google.com" and check your Link2SD Plus status is "Complete"
● invalid Google account on the device. Google Play apps are bound to the Google account, if you change it, Play Store can't recognize your purchase anymore. Please re-add that Google account back to your device and/or select this account in Google Play Store app (side menu => top right arrow next to your Google account)
● too much requests from apps to Play servers for license check. Please try again later (in 10 minutes)
● (Android 2.x) background data is disabled
To resolve this issue:
1. uninstall Link2SD and Link2SD Plus then reboot
2. ensure you have internet connection on the device up and stable
3. install Link2SD and Link2SD Plus from Google Play Store app. Reinstalls to the same account are free. (Installing from the APK won't resolve the issue)
4. you may need start/wait a bit/exit Link2SD Plus a few times to reload license state.
5. if it didn't help, clear data of Google Play Store and Google Play services and reboot
If you're getting "insufficient storage available" error when installing Link2SD Plus even you have enough free space
To resolve this issue:
1. "Clear all app cache" within Link2SD
2. set "install location" to automatic within Link2SD settings and reboot
3. if it didn't help, clear data of Google Play Store and Google Play Services and reboot

FolderMount [ROOT]
Problems? Use the EMAIL DEVELOPER link in the Play Store.
Today some apps store big files over the internal SD card (e.g. games, podcasts, offline RSS content, pictures, videos, offline navigation software). Typically users have a small internal sd card size (~16GB) while the external SD is a lot bigger (~32-64GB). Most of these apps users download from the Play Store save their application data in the internal sdcard by default and don't have an option to use the external SD card to store data so they starve your internal SD card memory. FolderMount is the solution to this issue. This app has the ability to link folders in your internal sdcard to folders in your external sdcard thereby populating the internal sdcard folders with content that really exists in the external card. This helps us free space and have multiple games/apps with big data stored simultaneously without the need to uninstall. For Nexus devices with no external sdcard, this application should help link folders to a usb flash drive for example.
Features of FolderMount:
* Mount internal SD card folders to external SD folders.
* Move content from internal to external when a pair is added. (Dialog prompt)
* Support for Android 2.3 - 5.0.
* Holo themed throughout and an intuitive GUI design.
* It will check SDCARD mount status and remount if necessary.
Limitation of the free app:
* Only 3 mount pairs allowed
* File Explorer does not list the sizes of the displayed folders
* Some restrictions apply on the on the type/path of source folder
Purchase "pro" from within the app to unlock these limitations.
* Add a folder pair. Source is the internal sdcard and destination is your extSdCard
* After adding, FM will offer to move the files for you. Click yes.
* Wait until the move operation is done then click on the PIN. If PIN turns green, you're all set.
* The files will exist in both the source and destination after mounting. This is expected and is normal. The files you see in your internal sdcard actually reside in your external sdcard now and if you "unpin" the pair, you'll see that your internal sdcard is empty again.
There are other apps that do the same functionality but this is the first to bring you support for Android 4.2 with a Holo themed app and an intuitive interface.
Special thanks goes to Androidizen for creating the video promo of this app.
Have fun :-)

The NHL and NHLPA met for almost two hours last night in New York. The hope is they'll meet again Tuesday with the union returning with a full proposal. Word is the players may want another day.
The NHL has requested a full, formal proposal from the NHLPA. This has been a source of frustration for the league for some time. It feels Donald Fehr has never made a formal offer on anything other than the original one on core economics that pays players more money next year than last year. It has never, according to the league, spelled out anything on paper in terms of contract restrictions.
So the NHL has indicated to the union that it is not willing to discuss contractual issues until it comes to some sort of understanding in terms of core economics because it's all interconnected. Basically, the NHL wants a full proposal written on actual paper -- a heck of a concept 66 days into a lockout.
The union indicated it'll be back with something.
"We've never heard a full proposal from them," Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told reporters in New York last night. "They have given us a variation of the same proposal on economics a couple of times and there was no change in that position. They are still suggesting that they are moving in our direction on economics, but until we know exactly what their position is on economics now, we think it's all tied together and would like to hear it all together.
"It's our position that we've made a couple comprehensive proposals in a row. We'd like to know where they are on all of the issues. We asked that they put together a comprehensive proposal for us to consider."
Fehr was quoted in an Associated Report saying, "Our position all along has been on the player contracting issues that they become considerably more important to players as the cap becomes limited. We made proposals in a couple of areas in this regard, which moved toward them, but we wanted to talk about the rest of these to see where we were. We indicated to them the last time we met and again today that if we put aside for a moment the effect of the lockout on revenues — we didn't think we were too far apart on the share — and if that was right we can back into a discussion on the revenues. We wanted to know where we were on the player contracting stuff first, and they were unwilling to do that — at least tonight."
So, the league wants to know where the two sides at on core economics before talking contractual stuff. Fehr wants to know where they're at on the "contracting stuff first" before talking about the economics!
And in the interim, player careers, owner business and a league is being driven right off a cliff.
Here's the deal: whether the players think the league is playing fair or not, the owners control whether this thing will ever end.
The owners feel Fehr's been playing games with them for months, that he routinely shows up with one-page economic proposals that have barely changed. He's driving the owners loco in typical Donald Fehr fashion. They've clearly dug in and are done with it.
So regardless of what the players think of that first NHL proposal in July that clawed back on a ton of their rights, the owners feel they've moved to 50/50 without Fehr coming toward them. They feel Fehr's done a masterful job getting them to renegotiate that initial proposal without getting anything of substance from Fehr.
They say they don't know what Fehr wants with the main contractual changes other than no changes at all, ... and that is not going to happen. The owners are clearly done playing games until Fehr shows up with an actual full proposal. When that happens, the owners indicate they'll do some give and take. Let's hope that's true because the players are being asked to absord all the burden for a CBA the past seven years that was supposed to repair the economic system in the NHL.
Despite the league canceling a season to get that CBA, that clearly didn't happen and the league is back for me.
So again, whether the players feel the owners are being fair or not (and it's debatable), this is the reality now. If the players want the lockout to end, if they want to play again, they must get Fehr to show up to the next meeting with something that makes the owners feel he's negotiating and compromising.
Then, it's on the owners.
