JOIN LIFE LOCK...PROTECT YOUR IDENTITY

Identity theft can happen anywhere to anyone. In line at the store, online at home or when you're buying your morning coffee. If your identity is stolen, you can spend hundreds of hours cleaning up your credit and struggling to get back your good name. That's because stolen identities are used up to 30 times, with most victims only discovering the theft after they've been turned down for a loan or contacted by a collection agency. You may already be a victim, many times over, and not even know it, but not with LifeLock. For more information on how Lifelock can protect you, log onto www.lifelock.com and enroll using the code word RogerDean for a special offer.

LAST CHANCE TO JOIN THE KNOTHOLE GANG

The Knothole Gang is a group of young Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals fans up to the age of 12 who receive special membership benefits including a FREE t-shirt and FREE admission, FREE hot dog and soda at every Tuesday night home game during the Florida State League season.
