Open Enrollment ends October 18 - expect confirmation statements soon
Open Enrollment ends October 18 at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). As in years' past, Benefit Confirmation Statements will be mailed only to employees who made election changes during the Open Enrollment period. Individuals will have until 5:30 p.m. EST, Thursday, November 2, 2006, to make corrections to those confirmation statements.
If you added dependents to any of your plans during Open Enrollment, the People First Service Center will require dependent documentation. Please submit copies of appropriate documentation (e.g., marriage certificate, birth certificate) to the People First Service Center along with your People First user ID or Social Security Number on all documents. Coverage will be cancelled unless you provide such documentation within 60 days.
Currently, the following are considered eligible dependents:
All children must be unmarried, under the age of 19, and dependent upon the employee for support. For coverage to continue from age 19 through the end of the calendar year in which a child turns 25, children must be dependent upon the employee for support and either live with the employee or be a full- or part-time student. Children who are mentally or physically disabled are eligible to continue coverage (if already enrolled) after they reach 25 while the subscriber's family coverage is in effect, provided they are incapable of self-sustaining employment and are chiefly dependent upon the subscriber for support and maintenance.
If you have questions about documentation or dependent eligibility, please contact University Benefits at 392-2477 (SC 622-1225), firstname.lastname@example.com, or your HRS satellite office.
Some supplemental plans offered during Open Enrollment require medical underwriting, and enrollment is subject to approval by the insurance carrier. Please review the article in the September 2006 Issue of the InfoGator for plans that require an additional application and instructions. Questions? Please contact University Benefits and Retirement at (352) 392-2477 (SC 622-1225) or visit your nearest satellite office.
Still undecided about enrolling in the Long Term Disability Plan and want information to help with your Open Enrollment decision? Information sessions will be held in the Reitz Union, Room B-74, on October 12. Sessions will begin at 9:00 a.m. and will continue every hour on the hour, with the last session starting at 2:00 p.m. Registration is not required.
This year's Open Enrollment is a guarantee issue, which means there is no medical application process. A guarantee issue is generally not made available on an annual basis; therefore, employees should give consideration to adding the plan before open enrollment ends.
Questions? Contact University Benefits and Retirement at (352) 392-2477 (SC 622-1225) or visit your nearest satellite office.
Dental Plan Update
As a reminder, the Direct Assignment/Reimbursement plan with Eagles is a UF-sponsored plan and will not be found on the State's People First web site or on its enrollment forms. Enrollment forms for the UF plan may be found on the HRS web site and should be returned prior to the October 18 deadline to University Benefits and Retirement, P.O. Box 115007; your nearest HRS satellite office; or Eagles Benefits.
Employees enrolling in either the Health Investor PPO or HMO may also enroll in a Health Savings Account (HSA). The state will make a monthly contribution of $41.66 (Individual) or $83.33 (Family) into the HSA, up to an annual contribution of $500 or $1,000 respectively for 2007. Contributions for part-time employees will vary based on FTE. No matching contribution is required of the employee; however, you do have the option to contribute an additional amount to your HSA on a pre-tax basis. Funds deposited into the account earn interest and are not forfeited at the end of the plan year. The funds can be used to pay medical expenses as a result of the increased financial responsibilities assumed by the employee under these plans. In addition, the account is portable, which means that remaining funds stay with the account holder even after employment ends.
TEAMS employees are eligible to cash out up to 16 hours of vacation leave — regardless of FTE — during the pay period of November 17 to November 30, provided 40 hours of vacation leave remain on balance after the end of that pay period. If you are eligible, you will receive the cash-out payment in your December 8 paycheck.
Higher Education Opportunity information session offered
The University of Florida's Higher Education Opportunity (HEO) provides children of full-time TEAMS employees with the opportunity of tuition assistance for an undergraduate education at the University of Florida.
Each year, Human Resource Services will choose at random from a pool of eligible applicants 50 children of TEAMS employees to participate in this program. For each child selected, the university will pay the in-state matriculation fees, less any Bright Futures scholarship award, for a maximum of 132 credit hours toward an undergraduate degree at the University of Florida or a public community college in the state over a six-year period for each selected child.
Courses taken under the university's Employee Education Program, or EEP, no longer need to be work-related. Learn about this new provision as well as other details associated with this popular benefit for eligible UF faculty and staff by attending an upcoming information session.
To better inform employees of the procedures and paperwork associated with participating in the EEP, the Office of Human Resource Services, in collaboration with the Registrar's Office, will provide two short information sessions on Monday, October 23, 2006, from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. in Room 316 Stadium West and on Friday, November 3, 2006, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in Room 316 Stadium West.
The University of Florida's 2007 Superior Accomplishment Awards nomination period will end October 31, 2006. Eligible for nomination are Academic Personnel, TEAMS employees, and USPS employees.
This awards program honors faculty and staff members who contribute outstanding and meritorious service in their fields or to the university. It also seeks to recognize those employees who have made exceptional contributions to UF's efficiency and economy or to the quality of life provided to students and employees.
Sick Leave Pool Open Enrollment open until October 31
Qualifying University of Florida employees may sign up for the Sick Leave Pool during its Open Enrollment period from October 1 to 31 or during the 30 calendar days following the first year of employment. During the Sick Leave Pool Open Enrollment, all applications must be received by the Sick Leave Pool administrator by 5 p.m. on October 31. Open Enrollment for Sick Leave Pool is a separate process from Benefits' Open Enrollment and has its own deadlines.
The University of Florida's Sick Leave Pool enables participating employees to combine a portion of their individually accrued sick leave for collective use. As a member of the Sick Leave Pool, you may draw upon the pool—with approval from the Sick Leave Pool Committee—in instances in which you have used all of your leave hours because of personal, not family, catastrophic injury or illness.
Retirement Special Pay Plan coming soon – educational session being held

13 Best Makeup Tools
Readers have only good things to say about these brushes, tweezers and other makeup tools
Why: Readers love this "adorable" and "amazingly soft" synthetic brush. They say it "picks up and distributes both loose and compact powders very well." It also "provides fuller coverage than the usual brushes that eat up your powder." One reader raves that it "buffs powder on beautifully, and minimizes pores like nobody's business." Another reader says it also "applies bronzers and blush perfectly," and the "brush feels heavenly on your skin." It "fits perfectly in the palm of [the] hand" and "doesn't shed at all," and readers say this brush is "a definite keeper."

I'm still building up my brush collection as budget and usage dictates, but it's good to have this list the next time I shop for one.

I wonder which is the better eyelash curler of the ones they showed.

Good tools, but I would like to see Eco here, as well as Beautyblender sponges. Also think a lip brush is essential for a perfect pout.

Eco tools are also good.

I love eyes lips face and their brushes but the dollar brushes seem to fall apart on me... not the bristles but the handle part. It is still useable but drives me a bit crazy.

The Shu Uemura eyelash curler is amazing! I am very sad that they don't have a store anymore.

Thomas Henry Smith
Memorial services were held November 21 at Galloway Memorial United Methodist Church for Thomas Henry Smith of Jackson.
Smith, 84, died peacefully with his family present in his home, November 19.
He was born June 5, 1928 to the late Clarence Marcus Smith and Cora Desma Taylor Smith in Union. He served as a U.S. Navy hospital corpsman from 1946 - 48. He was graduated with an architecture degree from Auburn University in 1954.

The analysis is undertaken in the context of the work of European tax scholars writing in most EU languages, thus bringing numerous important theories and proposals into the spotlight for the first time.
The author provides expert commentary on 27 leading tax cases from the European Court of Justice, from Avoir fiscal (1986) to Hoechst & Metallgesellschaft (2001). He clearly delineates the legal framework built by these cases, and the repercussions on national, Community, and international tax law and practice.
However, the major contribution of this book, above and beyond its full-scale analysis of a crucial European legal regime as currently constituted, is the author's proposed EC Model Tax Convention, presented in Chapter Five. This Model combines existing provisions of international tax law, as embodied in the OECD Model, with the principles of Community tax law as enunciated by the European Court of Justice, and at the same time converts the body of recent scholarship into viable action programs.

Budget Control Error Processes & Report (PDF 72kB)
Change to Year-End Purchase Order (PO) Process [Permalink]
Effective with the FY13 Year-End Close, open POs in Funds 10, 12, 14, 16, 20 and 60 will no longer be closed after Accounts Payable completes processing for the year. Instead, these POs will be brought forward to FY14 and budget-checked against the chartfield for which they were requested creating an FY14 encumbrance. This addresses two pain points with year-end processing: 1) invoices submitted against POs closed by the old process after year-end require numerous AP / School / Department interaction to correctly charge the payment; and 2) vendors using the new JPMC automated payment tool will submit electronic invoices for closed POs and will encounter processing issues, thus delaying payment.
If a school or department wishes to close a PO for Funds 10, 12, 14, 16 or 20, please follow the instructions available on the Purchasing website. The deadline for submitting any PO close requests for these funds is Friday, September 27th. Please submit any questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Just before Thanksgiving, Rand Fishkin blasted infographics on his 'Whiteboard Friday'. He did make some really good points in his video, but I believe his reasoning is flawed.
The discussion revolved around format choice as the defining factor of success, an opinion which pops up time and time again and that I wholeheartedly disagree with.
In my experience, if you let format rule your content, you may miss out on some major opportunities. Here's why.

Research has identified that just over 1% of an ecommerce site's users contribute 40% of its revenue.
By analysing 950m page views from more than 123m website visits, the research found that whilst this 1.06% of total visitors generate four tenths of a site's income, there are a further 20% of site visitors who will visit regularly, but never make a purchase.
So what are the traits of these very different consumers and how can you use this information to convince them to shop more, not less?

The weeks running up to Christmas Day are some of the busiest of the year for retailers, counting for a huge proportion of total annual sales.
This year, however, the US is expected to see a slight downturn in spending per family during the holiday season due to lingering uncertainty after the recent government shutdown.
On average, shoppers will spend $737.95 on presents, decorations and food for the festive season, which is about 2% less than 2012 according to the National Retail Federation.
With this year's festive season presenting retailers with a bit of a challenge, it is also providing them a great opportunity to build real and lasting brand value and to win over such a precious customer base.

According to our recent Digital Landscape Report, Russia has the highest number of internet users in Europe, and represents a potential growth market for ecommerce.
In addition, just under half of Russia's 61m web users are buying online, though a mistrust of the finance industry means that cash on delivery is the prevelant payment method.
There are barriers though, such as mistrust of retailers, and the risk of parcels going AWOL due to the number of people living in communal apartments.
However, as our report, and this two part infographic from Search Laboratory shows, there are many opportunitues.

Custom reports are perhaps the most useful feature in Google Analytics, as they enable you to find the data and presentation that best suits your business goals.
I'm no big Google Analytics expert, instead I've picked it up and figured things out as I've gone along, mainly with the aim of understanding our users' behaviour and improving this blog.
I explain more of my approach to measuring and optimising this blog here, but I wanted to provide a beginner's guide to creating custom reports.
If this is too basic for you, or I've made any glaring errors, please forgive me (and put me right in the comments), but I hope this will be useful for you.
So here's how to create a basic custom report from scratch...

We're in the midst of a great migration to portable devices and the opportunity for marketers is immense.
It will be much tougher to cultivate a relationship with users than it was on the web, but if handled properly we'll find the perfect balance between the ultimate user experience and advertisers' agenda.
One thing marketers can all agree on: advertising makes the digital world go 'round. What's less a settled matter is how, exactly.

2013 will be the biggest online Christmas shopping year in history, many expecting the £10bn mark to be passed.
With the opportunity inherent, companies face challenges, from shipping to staffing.
But during and after the sales are made, customer service becomes one of the main headaches for companies. If an omnichannel strategy is missing, cue disappointed and increasingly vocal customers.
The customer service expectations of consumers in the UK and beyond has been revealed by Zendesk in a study polling 7,000 people in seven countries. The participants were aged 18-64, with 1,000 surveyed in each of the U.K, U.S., Australia, Brazil, France, Germany and Japan.
The data suggest that British customers demand the highest-levels of customer service in Europe. The data also reveal much about preferred communication channels and what good customer service can do for a brand.

Since it's free, and ubiquitous, small businesses are likely to be relying on Google Analytics for online measurement.
Indeed, our Online Measurement and Strategy Report 2013 found that 56% of businesses rely exclusively on Google for data analytics, while others use GA in conjunction with paid analytics services.
Even if you're no data expert, you can still find some valuable insight from the basic reports in GA, which can be very useful for your business.
Also, ready-made custom reports and dashboards can save you a lot of time.
As the UK is celebrating its first Small Business Saturday on 7th December 2013, I've rounded up some useful examples which should be helpful for SMEs.
(By the way, if you don't have Google Analytics, read this post by Google's Daniel Waisberg on setting up and using Google Analytics).

Marketers that feel there is just not enough time to spend on email marketing, you may be slightly comforted to know that you are not alone.
The bid to keep up with the evolving nature of email marketing is a challenge many organisations are struggling with, according to marketers that attended Econsultancy's Festival of Marketing.
Several senior client-side marketers gathered together for Digital Cream during the Festival, where email marketing, among other topics, was discussed at great lengths.
The general consensus? Emaiil has great potential to become even more efficient than it already is. It's just going to take skills, buy-in and time that many do not have... yet.
While these discussions were under the Chatham House Rules, the insights gleaned have been pulled together to create the new Email Marketing Trends Briefing published this week by Econsultancy in association with Pure360.
The trends briefing, which is free for registered users, also contains some best practice tips, market data and case studies.

Very few ES bikes can go 50 mph on the level.

It is about how you ride that is key. On bike paths go bike path speeds. Simple enough.

Re: Da RulerYeah, this one is puzzling for sure. I don't think too many trainers would claim off Bob but this just looks too good to pass up.
Re: Da RulerLooks a lot like Baffert's Solar Rocket who Mark Glatt claimed from him
Re: Da RulerGotta throw it out. Wins by close to 6 lengths in June going 7 and 1/2. You would think that they would have tried running 1 mile at Del Mar so this horse could clear off at a much higher level than the one today. It's also not usual for a Baffert runner to not have a workout closer to the race after Aug. 15th. His works shown are pretty fast too. 2-5 or 3-5 ??
Throwing out any Baffert is usually a mistake but being that it's closing day I'm looking for prices in the P5.
Re: Da Ruler
Sure does and this looks like the same pattern. Solar Rocket is a dirt specialist and Baffert entered him for bottom basement on last day of SA's spring meet knowing he'd have until November to run in worthy dirt races. Da Ruler looks like a synthetic specialist that must have some nagging problems that only allow him to race every few months. The new owners would have to try dirt or wait until mid November for HP. Like Andy mentions, I dont know why he wasn't entered earlier in this meet unless they don't know how he'll take to the poly. I'd play him but I'm not fond of his odds with that many other potential winners.
Re: Da RulerDa Ruler---------Da Late scratch. I wonder how many claims were in for him?
The Dodgers Suck. No Championships in 25 Years. HAHA
Re: Da RulerTold my friend at early bird I know there gonna scratch da ruler kept waiting and waiting finally 5min b4 post totally screwed his ticket up he singled him
Re: Da RulerAnyone seen or heard anything about Da Ruler since September?
Re: Da Ruler
Nope. Not on any work tabs that I've seen. Also wondering about former Baffert runner El Martillo?????
Re: Da RulerI liked that hard knocker too. He looked like he was eased in his last start, a turf route at Belmont while in the Engleheart barn; I never knew he switched barns.

Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte called the NFL's proposed rule change that would penalize ball carriers who lower their heads to deliver a blow "absurb" in a series of messages he posted on his official Twitter account Sunday morning. The new rule would penalize a runner 15-yards if he initiates contract with the crown of his helmet outside of the tackle box. Incidental contact with the crown of the helmet would not be a penalty. "The proposed rule change for running backs might be the most absurd suggestion of a rule change I've ever heard of," Forte wrote. "In order to lower ur shoulder u obviously have to lower ur head. It's a way of protecting ur self from a tackler and a way to break tackles." Forte believes players would be unable to adjust if the new rule is put into place. "U can't change the instinctive nature of running the football," Forte added. NFL competition committee chairman Rich McKay cited player safety as the motivation behind the possible rule change during an interview last week with the Associated Press.

RSS FeedMichael Moran - Ireland's first potential world champ
On the centenary of the open championship at hoylake, Dermot Gilleece looks...
Posted December 10 2013 view comments
Though there is a natural tendency to look back at this time of year, I am indulging myself with a monumental leap to the early part of the last century, simply to acknowledge one of the most important events in the history of golf in Ireland. This happens to be the centennial of the Open Championship at Hoylake, where Michael Moran became the first Irishman to earn prize money in pursuit of golf's greatest honour.

Part 1 - Durance Valley
Le depart
The route leaves Gap to the North east, up the wide flat Luye valley to the Durance. The sun will be coming up and you'll be riding through lush meadows on a wide, fast road. The speed will be high and big pelotons will form, with many bowling along at over 40kmh.
It will be cold at the start and will remain so when riding in the shade. A windproof jacket or arm warmers will be needed for the long wait at the start and you'll probably keep them on for the first 60km of the ride.
Surrounded by giants
Oak forests to the right and the Puy de Manse massif on the left will be lit by the early morning sun. If the weather's fine you'll see the Ecrins and Queyras ranges up ahead – a daunting sight.
The first 60km of the route will be a gentle preamble, a time to warm up and get some distance under the belt. It will be tempting to go much faster than your usual average. To the left will be a stream of local racers, shooting past in the gutter shouting "A droite!" Don't get caught up in that 'race'. There's likely to be a strong headwind as cold air rushes down the Durance valley from the high mountains. Tuck into a group and avoid spending time moving from group to group alone.
An early descent
After Chorges there is an unexpected descent. It's quite long and fast. A time for exuberance. If you're on a compact chain set you'll find yourself spinning out here and may think that you're under geared. Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunity to make use of those smaller gears ahead.
The route descends to the beautiful Lake of Serre Ponçon. Deep blue-green water, with the solitary white chapel of St Michel stranded on a small island. You'll then cross the lake over a windy bridge to Savines.
Our first target
After Savines there is a short drag through poppy fields and pine forest until you see the first target on the left bank up ahead: Embrun. This prosperous trading town sits on a rocky bluff above the Durance river. There will be a sprint here when the pros come through. It's a 1km climb up and through the town. Enough to get you breathing hard.
The road then keeps to the left bank for another 10km as the Durance cuts through a sharp gorge, with glacier damage visible in the rocks. Huge cliffs dominate the valley here, with a waterfall visible to your left. You'll hear cicadas and the bells of mountain sheep.
Gateway to the high valleys
At St Clement the first road sign indicates that the cols are open (disappointed?). There is a nice flat drag to the old fort of Mont Dauphin and Guillestre (likely to be the site of the first feed station).

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been in the headlines a lot recently, allegedly pocketing a Super Bowl ring, valued at $25,000, that belonged to New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft -- then jokingly offering to make him an even more expensive replacement.
Then there was that offhand announcement that he and his wife of almost 30 years were calling it quits and hadn't lived together for quite a while, anyway.
And don't forget the icy face-to-face with President Barack Obama at the G-8 meeting in Northern Ireland when Putin dissed Obama's joke about sports and getting older. "The president wants to relax me with his statement of age," Putin said, with not a hint of a smile.
If Putin seems to be losing his sense of humor, there may be a good reason: Russia's economic growth rate is down, Putin is tapping into a reserve fund to pay for an economic stimulus program and the shale oil "revolution" means Europe could need less Russian energy.
But don't tell that to Vladimir Putin.
"Putin's emphasis on the critical, and his almost sneering at the West, that really has gotten worse," said Georgetown University's Angela Stent. "I think the Russian perception at the top is that the United States is in decline, Europe is in decline too, and they really don't need anything from us."
"They would like more investment but they figure they're going to get the investment anyway because they've calculated, correctly, that the U.S. energy business and others are interested in Russia, said Stent, director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies at Georgetown.
Stent -- whose latest book, "The Limits of Partnership: US-Russian Relations in the Twenty-First Century," examines the difficult relationship with Putin's Russia -- said that a few years ago there was a leaked Russian foreign policy document that said, "We have to be nice to the West if we want them to be involved in the modernization of our economy and we want those economic benefits."
But, she said, "they don't believe that anymore. They think they can get the investment irrespective of what they do."
And yet there seems to be a "lack of realism" among Russia's leadership, Stent said, about exactly what their economic situation really is.
"If they want to move beyond a raw material-based economy -- and it's not clear that they do -- then at some level," she said, "they do need Western know-how and technology. But I think at the moment the people who understand that are people whom we would identify with (former President Dmitry) Medvedev and that camp, at the moment, seems to be on the outs."
Taking digs at the United States and the West plays well at home, too. "Putin has a certain domestic constituency that responds positively to this 'We're Russia and we're great and stop pushing us around,'" she said.
Russia expert Andrew Weiss, who served on President Bill Clinton's National Security Council staff and now is vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said, "There's no doubt the Putin view of the world is much more transactional, much more about cynical deals, the idea that strength is what people respect and Russia should never be forced to do anything -- ultimate sovereignty. "
"But," he added, "the idea that Russia can go it alone -- I don't totally see that."
Putin's Russia, he said, is an "inward-focused power, which has this hugely unsettled and very destabilized domestic political situation at the moment and that's where Putin's priority lies."
Putin, Weiss believes, is a pretty isolated figure. "Russia doesn't have a lot of international partners," he said, "and Putin doesn't have close personal friendships and rapport."
"But it doesn't diminish his view ... that the West is in decline, that America is retreating. He still feels those things as strongly he did."
Putin, Weiss said, is going to be "disengaged" because he's focused on rejuvenating Russia's economy.
"That's what he's worried about. He's not really worried about the next turn of the wheel on global arms control or nonproliferation. He's worried about dollars and cents at home, the hugely unsettled domestic political situation, worried about the (2014 Winter) Sochi Olympics, the transformation of global energy markets, and Russia restoring influence in its neighborhood."
So if Vladimir Putin looks a little stern when he meets Barack Obama, maybe he's got other things on his mind.

Nothing concrete for Cashman at winter meetings
Down in Florida, with the fantasy of Walt Disney World just outside his hotel window, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman spent four days facing reality.
- Dec. 12, 2013
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
Down in Florida, with the fantasy of Walt Disney World just outside his hotel window, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman spent four days facing reality.
A person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press that 18-game winner Bartolo Colon and the New York Mets have agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract.
It's been a few days since the Yankees announced a multi-year contract worth tens of millions of dollars, but even in their winter of fiscal responsibility, the Yankees aren't finished handing out massive free agent contracts.
Curtis Granderson's first hit for his new team was a playful shot at his old employer.
Citing a desire to avoid surgery for an ailing back and wanting to spend more time with his family, two-time Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay retired Monday after 16 seasons in the major leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies.
After all the trades and signings last week, baseball's annual winter meetings opened with relative quiet.
Joe Torre, Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox spent decades trying to beat each other, no holds barred. On this day, however, they were a mutual admiration society.
Upgrade at catcher, add some rotation depth, improve in right field, build a contingency plan at shortstop, and begin to make up for the offense lost when Robinson Cano went to Seattle.
Thursday afternoon the Yankees were introducing their brand-new power-hitting catcher. Friday morning they were losing two All-Stars within minutes of one another. And by Friday night, they had a new right fielder.
Curtis Granderson is heading across town, where the New York Mets hope his home run swing won't suffer at Citi Field.
It's been 10 years since the Yankees traded for Alex Rodriguez. In that decade, the team explored the relationship between time and greatness, and their findings were not encouraging.
The Seattle Mariners were staying quiet on Friday about a potential major deal with free agent second baseman Robinson Cano.
A person familiar with the situation says free-agent outfielder Curtis Granderson and the New York Mets have agreed to a $60 million, four-year contract.
When the Yankees introduced Brian McCann on Thursday, they didn't simply hand him a No. 34 jersey and let him answer a few questions about signing a five-year contract. With the Yankees, things are always bigger than that.
The Brewers have traded outfielder Norichika Aoki to the Kansas City Royals, a move that likely means Ryan Braun will move from left to right field in 2014.
New York Yankees catcher Ryan Baker has been suspended 50 games for refusing to take an offseason drug test in violation of baseball's minor league drug program.
The Boston Red Sox began rebuilding for their World Series title defense Wednesday when they signed free agent catcher A.J. Pierzynski to a one-year contract.

Penelope Fitzgerald by Hermione Lee
The first, full-length authorised biography of one of the finest English novelists of the last century.

The Small Business Development Committee of the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce has organized Navarre's First Small Shop Crawl.
"The Small Shop Crawl is a great way for the Chamber to work with the community and their small retail members to help drive awareness of their location in the Navarre area at the start of their shoulder season," said Regina Carter, chairperson of the Chamber's SBDC. "It is intended to be a fun and competitive 'game' for shoppers and yet help educate the community on what our members have to offer the community."
Chanda Ryan, Chamber membership director, stated in a press release that a Shop Crawl map would help guide residents and visitors all around the Navarre area.
"The map will help shoppers hopefully discover some new and unique shops that they did not even realize were in the Navarre area," she wrote.
Shoppers are invited to meet at Alphy's Catfish House between 9-10 a.m. Oct. 6 to treat themselves to breakfast, pick up a complimentary shopping bag and get their map.
Shoppers are encouraged to visit as many shops on the map as they can from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. in order to be eligible for cash prizes. The chance drawing for the cash prizes will be held at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 6 on the back deck of East River Smokehouse.
