Liberty Mutual Cuts List in Creative Review

Posted on by

Liberty Mutual has narrowed the list of contenders in its creative review to include mcgarrybowen, Mullen, Havas Worldwide and incumbentHill Holliday, sources said. McCann Erickson was cut from the search late last week.

The Boston insurance company is now testing ideas from those agencies before making a decision in October. In June, Liberty Mutual put the business into review, appointing Pile + Co., Boston, to handle the process.

This week the marketer is also seeing final presentations from media agencies pitching its business, which has also been handled by Hill Holliday. Those shops are said to be down to the incumbent Hill Holliday, Carat, MediaCom and Mediahub/Mullen.

A Liberty Mutual rep could not be reached; participating agencies either declined comment or referred calls to the insurance marketer.

Some sources say that Liberty Mutual is reluctant to take both the creative and media business out of the Boston agency market, which would give home-town advantage to shops like Mullen, its Mediahub/Mullen unit and Hill Holliday.

Last year, the company spent nearly $150 million on measured media, up from about $116 million in 2011, according to Nielsen. That amount, however, does not include online spending.

Catskills Confidential: Liberty creates liaison spot to help homeless students

Posted on by

Published: 2:00 AM - 09/10/13

The Liberty School District failed to win a federal grant to underwrite a position for someone to work with its homeless students and Livingston Manor's, so the district has created a part-time liaison position.

Both districts had a combined 144 homeless students 119 in Liberty and 25 in Livingston Manor during the 2011-2012 school year. The year before, the number stood at 77.

BOCES used to provide liaison services until the state "reconfigured" the funding, Liberty Superintendent William Silver said.

Roberta Rehwaldt, director of special services, will continue to work with homeless students for Livingston Manor. Liberty's liaison will work about eight hours a week with homeless students, whose parents either are doubled-up with other families or staying in motels and shelters.

"You need someone to be the go-between," Silver said. "Providing resources for them (and) connecting them with other agencies."

The film shot at the Government Center in Monticello and other locations in Sullivan County last month was shrouded in secrecy, but the website Deadline Hollywood described it as a "dark comedy about the nature of fame in the YouTube era."

David Cross, who gained fame as the character Tobias Funke in "Arrested Development," wrote and directed the movie, titled "Hits."

It stars James Adomian, Wyatt Cenac, Jake Cherry, Meredith Hagner, Matt Walsh and Derek Waters, according to Deadline Hollywood.

McCoughtry, de Souza lead Dream past Liberty

Posted on by

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- After a slow start, the Atlanta Dream increased their lead late in the first half and then simply ran away from the New York Liberty in the third quarter.

Angel McCoughtry scored 16 points, Erika de Souza had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and the Dream cruised to a 70-57 victory over the Liberty on Friday night.

Tiffany Hayes added 12 points and Alex Bentley had 11 for the Dream (17-13), who won their third straight and moved closer to clinching second place in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta leads Washington, which lost at Connecticut, by three games with four games remaining for both teams.

''It's really important to finish up strong, just to get that momentum for the playoffs and keep the No. 2 spot,'' McCoughtry said. ''We just want to get that confidence going in. We don't want to go in feeling kind of down and losing, so it's really important for that momentum.

After opening the season 12-1, the Dream lost 10 of their next 14. However, Atlanta seems to have straightened things out with its three-game win streak heading into the final stretch that includes a road game against first-place Chicago.

''It's always about the finish,'' Dream coach Fred Williams said. ''The injuries hit us real hard with key players - Armintie Herrington, Tiffany Hayes and Sancho Lyttle, who is not with us. We went through the storms, coveraged through it, stayed in second ... and we're taking that challenge right now to finish strong towards the end.''

Kara Braxton scored 17 points before fouling out late in the fourth quarter, Pierson had 12 and Alex Montgomery 10 for New York (11-20), which moved closer to being eliminated from playoff contention.

''It's always the third quarter,'' Braxton said. ''We have trouble with the third quarter. Every time we come out, we come out a little slow. So we're still trying to work on that with the last three games and hopefully we'll correct it and make a playoff push.''

After New York pulled within three points on Braxton's layup with 2:20 to go in the second quarter, Le'Coe Willingham and Hayes hit consecutive 3s nearly a minute apart to extend Atlanta's lead to 41-32 with 1:06 remaining.

Aneika Henry's buzzer-beating jumper gave the Dream a 43-36 lead at halftime. McCoughtry then scored six points as Atlanta scored the first 12 points of the third quarter to increase its 19 with 5:20 remaining in the period.
