As it stands right now the Leafs have six NHL experienced defensemen under contract and another three who are restricted free agents. Assuming all three of the RFA's get re-signed it leaves the Leafs with 7 defensemen, five of which will be regulars (Phaneuf, Schenn, Gunnarsson, Aulie and Komisarek) and two that are more along the lines of depth defensemen (Lebda and Lashoff). Phaneuf and Schenn are the top two guys (though they may not end up playing together) and depending on where you see Gunnarsson and Aulie fitting into the mix the Leafs will be looking for a #3, #4 or #5 type guy. Depending on how much they end up spending on a first line center, it is probably safe to assume they could allocate anywhere between $2-4M and there are enough UFA defensemen available that they can probably acquire what they want via free agency rather than have to resort to a trade. Let's take a look at some of the potential UFA defensemen the Leafs could have interest in.
Definitely Too Expensive
Christian Ehrhoff – Ehrhoff is definitely the top potential UFA defenseman. The Canucks will definitely want to bring him back and if he ever made it to UFA status I am certain the Red Wings will throw some or all of just-retired Rafalski's money at him. Ehrhoff is in line for a $6M paycheck and as much as I would like to see him in a Leaf uniform, he is probably out of the Leafs budget so lets take a look at some of the other free agent defensemen.
Probably too Expensive
Kevin Bieksa – Bieksa really had a breakthrough season this year, particularly in his own zone and he ended the season at +32, tops on the Canucks, and is a +9 in the playoffs, again tops on the Canucks. His +32 in the regular season trailed only Chara's +33 among defensemen but Bieksa was +32 in just 66 games. Bieksa is probably a good 2-way second pairing defenseman but his excellent season might push his salary demands beyond what he deserves (unless this past season is the new norm for him which is unlikely) and out of the Leafs budget.
James Wisniewski – Wisniewski started his career with the Chicago Blackhawks and he just seemed like he was that typical #5/6 guy. He was a decent enough player who did a number of things well but not necessarily a core guy, but when he was given an opportunity to play a more prominent role with the Ducks, and then with Islanders and Montreal his offensive numbers really jumped and he was a strong PP performer. He'd probably really help the Leafs PP but there will be enough demand for his services that he'll probably cost more than the Leafs can afford.
Joni Pitkanen – Pitkanen is one of those guys who had #1 potential but never really took the next step and instead has had a career that some might consider a disappointment because he never really reached his full potential. Pitkanen is a better offensive guy than a defensive guy and would be a nice fit on the Leafs PP unit. He earned $4M last season and is probably in line to earn about the same on his next contract which makes him probably out of the Leafs budget and I think he'll be happier staying in a non-hockey market like Carolina.

Results tagged "Advertising Option Icon" from IABlog
Earlier this summer, the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) confirmed the names of the first 100 companies participating in the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising (OBA). These cross-industry companies reflect the biggest brands, publishers, and ad networks in our ecosystem. Last November, the DAA significantly expanded the scope of the self-regulation program beyond online behavioral advertising (OBA) to establish a clear framework to govern the collection and usage of data which includes a consumer choice mechanism for managing data collection practices.
All of these self-regulatory actions—implemented widely across the industry—are further proof that we continue to respond responsibly to privacy concerns with incremental and critical enhancements that improve consumer protection, choice, and control in online advertising.
Yet, there remain gaps in adoption and implementation, mostly due to lingering confusion about when the advertising option icon should be included on an ad and the responsibility of each party involved in the buying, selling, and delivery of that ad.
One of the OBA principles state that enhanced notice (via the icon that is often accompanied by the language Interest-Based Ads or AdChoices) must be served on or close to the ad when the ad is either behaviorally targeted or if data is being collected that could be used for future behavioral targeting. The responsibility to uphold this principle applies to every one of the parties involved in delivery of that ad: the advertiser, the agency ad server, the publisher ad server, and any ad network, exchange, DSP, or SSP. It is safe to assume that every single one of these parties involved in delivering a campaign captures a cookie, an IP address, and a variety of other data points that could be used for future behavioral targeting. As such, it's imperative that any likelihood of data being collected and used, whether before or after an ad is delivered, is clearly communicated to the consumer.
So let's be CLEAR*: We should expect to see an advertising option icon on almost every ad, even if that ad is not behaviorally targeted.
What about instances where there is absolutely no data being used or collected? Allowing for some notable exceptions (discussed in more detail below) shouldn't that be communicated to the consumer as well?
Consider the USDA's food label for a moment: As a consumer concerned about my health, I review labels to determine how many calories I am consuming. If you look at the USDA label on some diet soft drinks, you will see nothing but zeros because they have 0 sugar, 0 sodium, 0 fat, and therefore, 0 calories. So, why do they put the label on the can if there is nothing to report? The reason is that the presence of a "0" on the label provides useful information for the consumer. The absence of the label represents, well, zero information. In fact, I would be very suspicious of any beverage that had no USDA label. It's this very suspicion that is pervasive among consumers in regards to online advertising.
For this same reason, it's not enough to include the advertising option icon only when targeting is being used or cookies are being dropped. The ubiquitous presence of the advertising option icon will reassure consumers that, with one click, they can find the information they need about that ad and the industry players who served it, even if the message is, "This ad was not targeted."
As Evidon has pointed out to the industry, it should be just as simple as reading the USDA Nutritional label: Click on the advertising option icon and instantly know:
- Who served the ad
- If the ad was served using behavioral targeting
- If the ad is collecting data for future usage
- Where to go for more information about the industry
There will be some exceptions to this general rule, most notably, pharmaceutical ads and certain rich media and video formats, where the industry is still navigating implementation challenges. It is also true that the OBA principles don't specifically mandate the omnipresence of the advertising option icon, but if we can make it easier and clearer for the consumer to understand the choices they have and make a decision, we all win: consumer, publisher, and advertiser.
In order to reach that winner's circle, we all have to pitch in, not just the final party who serves the ad. Advertisers need to plan for the advertising option icon and think about how its presence (and placement!) will impact their overall creative and media plan strategy, as well as their own websites. Publishers and ad networks need to continue to be transparent with and respectful of consumer data. And we all must accept the ubiquitous-ness of the icon on every ad.
Stay tuned for a follow-up post in which we'll highlight some tactical plans for delivering an easier and clearer choice—and decision—mechanism for consumers.

Sarasota's first museum of modern and contemporary art will be a dynamic center for exhibiting innovative and compelling visual art of the 20th and 21st centuries. A vital part of Sarasota's rich cultural legacy, the museum will interweave exhibitions, educational programs and community outreach initiatives to engage a diverse audience and serve as a destination for creative discovery and discourse.
The shape of things to come.
SMOA will occupy the entire second floor of the 57,000 square-foot Visual Arts Education Center. Overlooks and bridges will provide visual access between floors to allow visitors to experience the relationship between the creative process and the finished product. The Museum will include a double-height grand gallery; large, open galleries; smaller galleries for more intimate, focused installations; a 110-seat auditorium; and educational resource and meeting spaces. Amenities will include a gift shop, outdoor sculpture garden, and a café with indoor and patio seating. Areas will be designated for exhibition support and administrative offices. New contemporary spaces, architectural finishes, lighting, HVAC/electrical systems and ADA-accessible ramps and elevators will be designed to meet American Association of Museums (AAM) accreditation specifications and to accommodate the needs of an exceptional 21st century art museum.
Economic and community impact.
The Sarasota Museum of Art will represent a vital part of the economic, cultural, and social fabric of Sarasota County. Thousands of people of all ages will be served year round through the Museum's exhibitions and the education programs provided by the VAEC and SMOA. In addition, the Museum will attract additional visitors to the area and engage visitors who are already here. SMOA will also be responsible for hiring art museum professionals, full-time and part-time employees, and consultants. The Sarasota Museum of Art will create a lasting legacy of cultural richness and strong economic support for the future of Sarasota.
From vision to visionary partnership.
The Sarasota Museum of Art/SMOA came into being in 2003 when 13 forward-thinking Sarasotans dreamed of enhancing Sarasota's rich cultural landscape with a modern and contemporary art museum. After a two-year dialogue with area arts, educational and community leaders, SMOA partnered with Ringling College of Art and Design to transform the historic Sarasota High School into a state-of-the-art visual arts destination with the art museum as its centerpiece. The comprehensive campaign to renovate the high school, create the Visual Arts Education Center (VAEC), establish SMOA, and endow the Museum, is one of Ringling College's strategic initiatives and part of the larger campaign, "Pathway to Preeminence."
Why here? Why now?
Sarasota County is recognized as the cultural capital of southwest Florida with its own opera and ballet companies, an acclaimed symphony, numerous theaters, and arts festivals. The area is also rich in the visual arts, with Ringling College of Art and Design, The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, and numerous art centers, artists' colonies, and galleries. The region has long been home to a community of established and emerging visual artists. There is no better place than Sarasota or better time than now to establish a destination devoted to modern and contemporary art.
Bold. Inspired. Diverse.
The overall objective of SMOA is to bring to Sarasota bold, inspired, and thought-provoking collections and exhibitions that reflect a wide breadth of cultural and aesthetic diversity. Some exhibitions will be on loan from other museums; others will be planned by SMOA's professional staff and guest curators. With several distinct gallery spaces, the Museum will be able to present a variety of exhibitions simultaneously. In this way, visitors will be able to see familiar works by well-known artists, as well as new work by emerging artists, in a single visit.
Honoring Sarasota's legacy.
The visual arts have always played a vital role in Sarasota, contributing tremendously to the quality of life and economic and social development of the region. SMOA's offerings will honor that legacy. In a time when older structures are often torn down to make way for new buildings, this project is about keeping and bringing to life an important part of Sarasota's history. In addition, the transformation of the historic Sarasota High School into the new Visual Arts Education Center will preserve this important icon of Sarasota's architectural and educational heritage. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this landmark building will regain its stature as one of the area's most significant and recognizable structures. The transformation of this building, which includes a glass structure iconic in its modernity, invokes the past, the present and the future.
Join the conversation.
Modern and contemporary art can be shocking, challenging, empowering, and awe-inspiring. By engaging community involvement through educational programs, lectures, docent tours, classes, and workshops, SMOA will strive to foster dialogue that will explore the profound connections between art and civic life. Collaborations with local school systems, area cultural organizations and other not-for-profits will showcase the vital interplay between music, film, performance, literature, and the visual arts. In this way, VAEC/SMOA will serve as a significant destination for learning, discussion and creative discovery.
A learning museum for the 21st century.
Imagine the Visual Arts Education Center and the Sarasota Museum of Art as a destination where people will be able to do much more than just view art.

As I walked in the door I noticed the light on in my wife's office. I strolled down the hall and said hello. She was bending over the desk with a pile of bills on one side and another pile on the other.
"We have to make some budget cuts in our house," she stated without even looking up. "Our household GDP is not equal to our spending."
"What?" I said as I tried to hide the just purchased $400 piece of camera equipment I had carried into the house. "I thought we made enough to support our habits?"
"Well we don't," said the Shaw household budget director. "We need to cut spending or make more money."
I was in shock. Nothing had indicated such a state in our finances. Things had just gone along fine. I bought stuff, she paid for it. Simple as that.
On the other hand, however, for years I have been totally ignorant of what was really coming in and going out. When I became publisher of the paper (as opposed to being a writer in the paper) I suddenly had to take on all the responsibilities of managing the papers budget and at that time asked my in-house home financial whiz to take over so I didn't have too many numbers to deal with in my head all the time.
"Look at the stuff that you have bought in the past year," she said. "You need to slow down and bring what we spend within what we make."
Sounded a lot like what I had heard at a recent corporate meeting. Also sounded a lot like what some people in Congress have been saying.
By this time I had probably turned white. I had all this stuff I wanted to purchase in the pipeline; a new dog sled, a rifle I have been wanting to buy, and eventually a car that I have been wanting. And what about that cruise I want to take off the coast of Norway? I mean afterall some of the older programs we had been paying for years will soon be retired.
"But I just promised a sales person I would come back and buy a new camera I want," I said.
"Cancel the order," she said.
I thought about how disappointed he would be. But first I thought about how disappointed I was.
"So this is a home base sequester?" I asked.
"Yes," she said. "You will not have as much money to spend anymore. You need to have some control. I think if we start with a lot of little things, we can make up the difference. Inconsequential things like your breakfast at the Maverik next to your office each morning. You can buy a half gallon of skim milk and take Cream of Wheat packets to work and cut your costs there down to less than half of what you are spending.
"But you know what I spend creates jobs for people," I said. "If I can't go to the Maverik for a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich each day, who knows what might happen. And if everyone who went in there started doing that, they might even have to close their doors."
"Well, sorry, but I doubt anyone will miss your little purchase there each day," she said as she continued to write out checks.
"I will miss it," I said as I walked back down the hall and sat in the living room in a chair. I was depressed. A few minutes later she came down the hall and sat in another chair next to me. She had a list in her hand.
"I have a budget for you," she said.
I cringed.
"Is this budget negotiable?" I asked.
"Sure it is," she said. "But only within the confines of the amount of money you have for it. You are the one that needs to decide how it will be spent."
I looked at the piece of paper. She had lined out how much I had to spend on various things throughout each month. It was concise, to the point (she had made some very strong notations) and apparently final. It was not big enough even for two weeks.
"I can't survive on this," I said. "And look what you have put into my money. Things like dog food, hay for the horse and even gas for my truck. Those are household items."
She was in the kitchen.
"Whose dogs and horse are they? Who thought they needed a truck that gets 8 miles per gallon? Not me. It's time to live within what we have," she said.
"But this forces me to make a decision between feeding my dogs good dog food and feeding myself," I said. "Do you want us to starve."
"Don't be ridiculous," she said as she walked back into the living room with a cup of tea. "It's not between feeding the dogs and you. It's about the way you spend the money you have to feed you. There is plenty there if you stop eating out and take a brown bag to work."
"Do you have a budget for you?" I asked, hoping to use the fact this might be one sided to my advantage.. She handed me a piece of paper. Hers was as austere as mine. There was nothing I could criticize or negotiate with.
"Until we get some things paid down on our total debt or more money comes in this is the way it will have to be," she said.
I got an idea.
"Maybe you could get a part time job to supplement our income," I said smiling in a devious way.
"I already have a part time job," she said not missing a beat. "Taking care of and controlling you."
What this move will do to the economy of Carbon County, I am not sure. But I do know no one, particularly me will be happy about it.

(NEWS CENTER) -- He may not have gotten his way completely, but Governor Paul LePage had a pretty good week.
The Maine legislature came back for a flurry of quick votes on whether to override any of the more than 80 vetoes the governor set forth. And all but seven of those vetoes were sustained.
We talk with our political analysts Phil Harriman and Ethan Strimling about how the governor still seems to have some political capital to spend at the State House and how Maine's Republicans may have a leadership problem on their hands.

He's not expected back until the middle of next year at the earliest. This just breaks my heart, Powe was the reason I pulled for the Celtics last year. He's from my town and he's one hell of a man. This just sucks, especially since he's playing for a new free agent contract. I just hope he can come back from this. If anyones strong enough to do it it's him though.

OGDENSBURG The city is seeking funds to clean up waste-contaminated property, including a prominent former industrial site along the St. Lawrence River.
Last week the City Council approved a resolution authorizing City Manager John M. Pinkerton to submit a Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund application to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Ogdensburg will seek $1 million, the maximum available, to fund demolition and cleanup projects around the city, but with a particular focus on the Augsbury Tank Farm property on Riverside Avenue, said Andrea L. Smith, interim city planner.
Were going to mention notably the Augsbury property, but the funds would not be limited there, she said. There will be priority given to eligible sites within the established Brownfields Opportunity Area, but anybody would be eligible to apply from anywhere within the bounds of the city.
Ogdensburgs Brownfields Opportunity Area encompasses four zones hugging the St. Lawrence and Oswegatchie rivers: the Augsbury Tank Farm, the Diamond/Shade Roller district, the Marina District and the Fort de la Presentation site. Ms. Smith said cleaning those areas would be possible only with federal money.
We have stated that theres insufficient funds at both the state and local level for the cleanup, she said. Receiving a Revolving Loan Fund grant could be a key to cleaning up the Augsbury property.
If awarded, the Ogdensburg Growth Fund and Development Corp. would use the grant to establish a loan fund. Public and private entities within the city could apply to the Growth Fund for loans and subgrants for cleanup.
Though the Growth Fund will administer the grant and approve applications, City Council members have asked to review applicants as well.
I think it is important to pass them by the council, said Mayor William D. Nelson. It would be a good thing to try to get input.
The grants flexibility would benefit projects on the 23-acre Augsbury property, which actually is divided into four parcels owned by the city, the Sybron NY Corp., the Kiwanis Club and MCYC Corp.
Since the Augsbury property is privately owned, we would have to have the permission and cooperation of the current owners to apply for money on their behalf or do any work, Ms. Smith said. On the other hand, if awarded, the funds would be available both for the city and for private entrepreneurs to apply for.
The city used a different $1 million Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund grant for demolition and cleanup at the former Standard Shade Roller factory site.
That work was mostly completed this spring, but some residual soil contamination remains.
All of the money in that grant is currently spoken for, Ms. Smith said. We are one of the few success stories for this region, and for that we get kudos.
Ms. Smith said not everyone can apply for these grants.
The fund can be used only by what is called a bona fide prospective purchaser or a party that is not responsible for the contamination, she said. Luckily, earlier this year we were awarded assessment funds, which is the key to being determined a bona fide prospective purchaser.
In May, Ogdensburg received two grants totaling $320,000 to assess pollution on property throughout the city.

LISBON - Lisbon senior Laura Pierce and Madrid-Waddington junior Tyler Robinson both talked about their anticipation for their upcoming fall seasons after earning overall male and female honors at the Lisbon Homecoming 5K Run-Walk on Saturday morning.
But Robinson who outdueled Pierce for overall honors by a 19:28-19:37 margin, will not be running competitive distance races until the track-field season as soccer remains his first love in athletics.
I love soccer and we are going to have a very good team, said Robinson.
It was a good race today. She (Laura Pierce) is very fast.
Pierce, who is considering her collegiate options for next fall, is excited about running on one of the best Canton Central Girls Cross Country teams ever anchored by Pierce, Gemma and Rebecca DelRossi and Maria Ricalton who combined to establish a Section 10 record in the 4x800 relay in spring track.
I am really looking forward to the season. We have our relay team from last spring, other good returning runners and two new merger students in Madrid-Waddingtons Cassidy Scott who ran indoor track with us and Hunter Hitchman of Clifton-Fine who should help us, said Pierce who was joined at the leaderboard by her mother Sue Pierce and father Paul Pierce who both took second in their respective 50-59 age group.
It should be a lot fun.
Also receiving special awards matching the weekend theme of I Love This Town were the Female and Male Walk leaders in Sue Kelly of Heuvelton and Alan Mooney of Ogdensburg, seven year old Connor Bell who was the Youngest Competitor, Steve Teele of Lisbon and Ron Reid of Waddington who were the Oldest Competitors and Bridget Gordiman who was cited for running her first 5K at age 53.
NOTES: Karen Matthews of Ogdensburg completed the race at 35 weeks pregnant and said that this was her last race until the baby is born.

Opening the Door to a World of Contemplation and Discovery:
Dr. Valliere Richard Auzenne
As a member of Ringling College of Art and Design's board of trustees, Dr. Valliere Auzenne has watched the College's progress with amazement. "It has been incredible to witness all of the changes," she says. "I remember my first visit and how the campus looked. It's been fun to watch the growth of the majors, especially digital filmmaking, and to see the development of the new curricula. It's great to be a trustee when this is happening!"
Now, with planning underway for a new, state-of-the-art library, Auzenne is even more excited about Ringling's future.
Auzenne has always felt at home in libraries. To her, they are sanctuaries — places of concentration and contemplation. They provide magical windows into other worlds. She remembers many happy childhood hours spent in libraries.
A graduate of California College of the Arts, Auzenne holds an M.A. from California State University, Los Angeles, and a doctorate from Florida State University where she is a tenured senior faculty member in the College of Motion Picture Arts. During her academic studies and throughout her career, libraries have opened doors into the world of art and artists. Reading memoirs and journals allowed her access to great artists' thoughts and feelings and gave her insight into their work. Libraries brought the world's great art to her doorstep. "Libraries have always been special places in my heart and life."
Auzenne recently expressed her conviction about the importance of a library for Ringling students in a unique and effective manner: she made a $180,000 gift commitment to the new library campaign. By designating Ringling as the beneficiary of a retirement asset in her estate plan, she is able to make such a meaningful testamentary gift while still enjoying the benefits of the asset for the remainder of her life.
Auzenne also plans future donations to benefit the library, including her collection of art books and two collections of interviews of famous artists. For her dissertation on the history of computer animation, the artists interviewed include Alvy Ray Smith, Ed Catmull and John Whitney; for the Barnett Aden Collection catalogue, they include Elizabeth Catlett, Jacob Lawrence and Lois Mailou Jones.
"Ringling is where these documents belong; where students will have access to them. Not buried in storage somewhere," says Auzenne.
Through these contributions, Auzenne hopes to encourage others to think about similar ways to be philanthropic. In her view, "Even those who do not have significant means can still make a significant gift."

|Woman Arrested in Courthouse Bomb Threat
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 20 August 2013 13:33
The Caldwell Sheriff's Office has made an arrest in an August 19th incident involving a bomb threat. At 7:55am, a call came into the Caldwell County Communications Center via the 911line. The unknown female caller advised that there was a bomb at the Caldwell County Courthouse.
Investigators determined that the call was made from a pay phone located at the Gas House at the intersection of Morganton Blvd and Beecher Anderson Rd. Investigators were able to view video footage from the Gas House that led to a vehicle description and one of the suspect. Deputies with the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office observed a vehicle a short time later that matched the description. The vehicle was stopped and the suspect Anita Kay Laws, 45, of 1369 Bee Mountain Ridge Rd. was ultimately arrested and charged with felony making a false bomb threat as to a public building. Laws was arrested and held under a $30,000 secured bond at the Caldwell County Detention Center.

The AA Binghamton Mets announced their 2013 field staff and it's exactly the same as their 2012 field staff. Pedro Lopez will be the manager, Glenn Abott will be the pitching coach and Luis Natera will serve as the hitting coach.
After a string of five years in which it seemed like no manager spent more than one year in any place, it's nice to see some stability in the system. After all, Wally Backman is returning to Buffalo, and the early indications are that the a-ball staffs will at least look similar to last year.
Lopez has worked his way up through the Mets' system from a-ball hitting coach, to rookie ball manager, and then AA manager. He's disciplined, organized and his teams play hard for him. Abbott came to the Mets from the Padres, with stops in Oakland and Texas before that so he's an Alderson/dePodesta guy. He started in the Mets system in 2011 in Savannah. By my count, 2013, will be his 28th year as a professional coach. The man has charted somewhere around a million pitches in his life, and combines a deep feel for the game, with strong teaching. Natera's been in the Mets' system for 22 years, teaching hitting and managing internationally. I don't know him as well as I know Lopez or Abbott, but he's always had time for my questions.
Sorry, its been slow around here. I've had a busy week of work.
