    WelcomeSince 1864, The Florida Times-Union has been the dominant news and information source in North Florida. That dominance continues today, but now we deliver news and information via the web with Jacksonville.com, mobile apps for smart phones or your tablet, in addition to the traditional printed paper.

    Today we reach the market through scores of products, tailored for the rich variety of demographic groups and geographic areas that make up Greater Jacksonville. Independent research shows that, taken together, The Florida Times-Union and its sister print and digital media products reach nearly 52% of the adults in the five-county Metropolitan Area and 43.5% of adults in our 15-county Designated Market Area*. No other advertising medium can match that kind of coverage.

    The Florida Times-Union is an essential part of the North Florida growth story, reaching every major demographic segment of our five-county Metropolitan Area. We reach the people who matter most to our advertisers; the public that is informed, engaged and involved in our community.

    This guide provides you with the information you need to include The Florida Times-Union and its family of media products in your marketing plans.

    We look forward to working with you.

    Ongoing highway construction projects there are 61 of them in Northeast Flor-ida that close lanes and roads, extend daily commutes and induce occasional outbursts from motorists took more than just years to devise.No, those frustrating and seemingly

    endless construction projects started out on drawing boards and planning meetings decades ago.Youre talking something thats 15 to 20

    years in the thinking, said Jeff Sheffield, executive director of the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization in Jacksonville.Transportation planners are usually

    nervous about making predictions on what will and wont be built because the plan-ning is so fluid.How many days do you have? the Flor-

    ida Department of Transportations Larry Parks said when asked to describe road construction planning. There are a lot of moving parts.The process often begins with lists of

    needs and wishes from cities and counties based on population growth and commer-cial development, said Parks, director of the departments District 2 office of trans-

    BRUNSWICK, GA. | Chief Su-perior Court Judge Aman-da F. Williams, who once sentenced a man to two weeks in jail for challeng-ing a drug test, will leave office Jan. 2 just nine days before a deadline to answer numerous charges of judi-cial misconduct, including tyrannical behavior.Williams, 64, advised

    Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal on Tuesday of her intent to resign after 21 years on the bench.In return for the Judicial

    Qualifications Commission dropping charges against her, Williams agreed not seek another judicial office or senior judge status.That prohibition is im-

    mediate and permanent, the consent order says.By virtue of his seniority,

    Superior Court Judge E.M. Wilkes III will replace Wil-liams as chief judge of the five-county Brunswick Ju-dicial Circuit.The charges against Wil-

    liams included that she lied to investigators, a crime under Georgia law.If Williams had not re-

    signed, the commission would have conducted a hearing on all 14 counts and could have sought her removal from the bench.Last week, the commis-

    sion amended its Nov. 9 complaint in which it ac-cused her of tyrannical behavior, especially in run-ning her drug court, the states largest.Williams had imposed

    indefinite jail terms on drug court defendants, deprived some of contact with their lawyers and jailed one man

    WASHINGTON | The Senate is gone, the House is packing up, and for now that means work-ing Americans will see their taxes rise in January.After weeks of bitter par-

    tisan wrangling, the Capitol emptied for the holidays with no sign of negotiation toward a compromise that would save an expiring tax break. As of Jan. 1, the payroll tax

    cut that has been in place all year is scheduled to return to 6.2 percent from its current 4.2 percent, meaning that bi-

    weekly paychecks on average will be $40 smaller. Long-term unemployment benefits for 3 million people also are poised to expire, and doctors face an estimated 20 percent cut in Medicare payments.Facing that unpleasant re-

    ality, Republicans fell into an angry family feud over their strategy. Several GOP sena-tors who face re-election next year accused their House GOP colleagues of acting ir-responsibly. The House voted

    to disagree with the biparti-san bill the Senate had passed to preserve the tax cut for two months so Congress would have more time to work on a full-year extension.Democrats, meantime, were

    happy to accuse Republicans of voting to block a tax cut and leaving town without finish-ing their work the same ar-gument Republicans planned to use on them.The issue right now is this:

    The clock is ticking; time is

    running out, President Ba-rack Obama said in a state-ment at the White House after the vote. And if the House Republicans refuse to vote for the Senate bill, or even allow it to come up for a vote, taxes will go up in 11 days.This was not a fight that

    seasoned Republican lawmak-ers, most prominent among them House Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio, would have

    In the past five years, this country has seen the direst financial crisis since the great depression. The stock market, the real estate and automo-tive industries took direct hits.

    But, economic indicators now are hinting strongly hinting that the worst is over and that the na-tion is on an upward course toward stability.

    But, what about those who may have been the hardest hit by the financial upheaval Americas seniors? Do they face continued eco-nomic hardship, or is there a patch of blue sky to be seen ahead?

    The experts seem to be divided on that question. Adding to the uncertainty is the Presidents plan to reduce Social Security benefits by using a chained CPI to determine future cost-of-living increases.

    What exactly is chained CPI?

    In an article published in Febru-arys AARP bulletin, author Kim Keister explained:

    The acronym is easy. CPI stands for Consumer Price Index, a formula that looks at how the prices of stuff we need (food for example) change over time. Its used to make cost-of-living adjustments in programs such as Social Security, veterans benefits and food stamps.

    Tucked away among the trees of Jack-sonvilles Westside is a community unlike any other in the city. Cecil Pines, an adult living community, offers seniors a secure and peaceful environment on a heavily wooded 53-acre property. With just 92 homes in the community, only a limited number of residents can enjoy this main-tenance-free lifestyle at such a reasonable monthly rental fee.

    A lot of senior communities have all kinds of amenities that are great if you want them, but extremely expensive if you dont, said Cecil Pines Executive Director Byran Beinkampen. Cecil Pines is an at-tractive and reasonably priced community for seniors who dont want to pay for a lot of amenities, like food service and house-keeping, which they dont really need.

    However, all the necessities are pro-vided at Cecil Pines. The gated-access community takes care of all home mainte-

    nance, inside and out. Yard maintenance is included. And, there is an emergency-response system in every home.

    Should you ever need assistance sim-ply press the button and the paramedics will be at your door in about two minutes, Beinkampen said.

    The requirements to live at Cecil Pines? Very few.

    You must be 55 or over, able to live independently and meet the financial guidelines, Beinkampen said. There is no maximum restriction on income here, and the lower age allows people who are still working to live here. Thats great for those who work at Boeing and the other busi-nesses in the area.

    Utilities are not included, but again, the price is right. Electricity, gas, water and sewer usually run about $200 a month.

    Were also a pet-friendly neighborhood; cats and small dogs inside only are

    welcomed at Cecil Pines, Beinkampen said. We even have a special pet-lovers group.

    Cecil Pines 92 homes include du-plexes and single-family residences, priced from $893 to $1166 per month.

    The 1,200-square-foot units have two bedrooms and one bath, while the 1,500-square-foot homes have three bed-rooms and two full baths. All homes have a carport, a private patio with space for a garden, and storage rooms located on the front and back of the home.

    Windows and doors are key design elements in any structure. They provide essential light and access as well as aes-thetic appeal inside and out. Older win-dows and doors likely are candidates for replacement as time and the elements take their toll on appearance as well as energy efficiency.

    Owners may want to consider replac-ing older windows and doors to take advantage of advances in technology that provide improved energy efficiency and security without sacrificing appear-ance.

    When considering replacement, it is imperative to find knowledgeable professionals who can help choose ap-propriate products that fit your needs and budget. Keith and Vicki Gurr, co-owners of American Window Products

    Inc., have been providing Jacksonville residents and businesses with high-quality replacement windows and doors for more than 30 years.

    As a family-owned local business we have a vested interest in the area and in providing the best products and services to our customers, Keith said. We are a state-certified and licensed contractor. We care about our customers and help protect their investment through proper practices, including adhering to all per-mit requirements and building codes.

    According to Keith, each sales repre-sentative meets Energy Star-certified education requirements.

    Every American Window Prod-ucts vehicle is fully equipped, and our professional installation teams are employees whose work we guarantee,

    Keith added. The company is an EPA lead-certified contractor for homes and buildings built prior to 1978, allow-ing us to test for lead and, if necessary, complete the job using EPA-established lead-renovation practices.

    American Window Products repre-sents more than 16 window and door manufacturers with more than 80 models of windows and doors allow-ing customers many choices to fit any project or budget.

    We offer single-, double- and triple-pane, vinyl-encased glass windows as well as impact-laminated glass for storm and security considerations, Keith said. We offer many options for Florida-approved hurricane products, including our popular hurricane fabric screens. Product warranties range from 10 years

    to lifetime for glass and parts, and we service our installed products as long as you own them.

    We can provide replacement vinyl windows for almost any structure including mobile homes, brick, block, stucco, wood and metal buildings and sun and screen rooms. Products are available in custom colors and with additional energy-saving, security and convenience features, Keith said. And our more than 27,000 satisfied custom-ers since 1981 are evidence of our broad range of products and commitment to our customers.

    If its time to improve the energy efficiency, security and appearance of your home or business, call American Window Products today to schedule a free in-home estimate.

    American Window Products: Improving your homes efficiency, security and appeal since 1981

    American Window Products is a local family-owned business that represents multiple window and door manufacturers. The company has been around for more than 30 years.

    claims for libel, slander, disparagement, trade libel, invasion of privacy, or other causes of action resulting from the publication of Advertisers copy.

    G. The Florida Times-Union will not be liable for any error in advertisements to a greater extent than the cost of the space occupied by the error.

    I. Advertising set to resemble news matter must carry the word Advertisement at the top of the advertisement.

    J. Some advertisers may be temporarily extended a $500 courtesy credit limit pending the final credit extension decision, providing a completed

    credit application has been submitted for review.

    K. The software used to schedule and track impressions is set to deliver impressions within a standard margin of error. Completed campaigns which have delivered within a seven percent margin (i.e., + or -) will be considered to have been delivered in full. In addition, when advertisers run

    multiple online impression based campaigns during a month, the combined total number of impressions delivered for a given ad type will be compared to the total number of online impressions ordered to determine if ordered impressions have been fulfilled.

As our quantities listed are advance estimates, any insert quantities remaining will be distributed to the nearest possible area.

    C. While we try to provide the most accurate numbers possible to our advertisers, we sometimes fail to accurately project the quantities for a given day.

These credits will appear on your monthly advertising statement when they are identified.

    D. $150 service charge to be added to any preprint quantities of less than 5,000 pieces.
