• The Jaguars were on the receiving end of a wrong “Jeopardy!” answer Monday night. The question centered on a statement former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach John McKay made about the Bucs, who were terrible their first two years in the NFL when McKay coached them to an 0-14 record in 1976 (the team’s first year) and a 2-12 mark in year two.
• Travel Savvy magazine lists the Florida-Georgia game as one of its top 10 tailgating experiences in all of football. However, the publication incorrectly pointed out that the game is always played in Florida. In 1995, the game was played in Athens while Alltel Stadium was being renovated.
• The Aetna building celebrated its 50th anniversary with a 1950s-style bash.
• Correction to a story in Monday’s Daily Record. City Council member Suzanne Jenkins says she does indeed care about the costs associated with the Haverty’s Building. She said Monday afternoon via e-mail: “I am not in agreement with putting a high price on the renovation of the Haverty’s Building to justify tearing it down. I, in no way, support tearing down the building. The city kept the costs down to just over $70 a square foot in our current City Hall building which is also a Klutho Building that was in very bad shape before we bought it and renovated it. I am sure through value engineering we can do the same thing with the Haverty’s Building.”

After a request from the school’s principal, local non-profit Kessler Mentoring trained the volunteers who were then matched up with students through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Florida.
• Speaking of the port authority, the port is on pace to break last year’s record for cargo processed in and out of the facility. During the first nine months of the current fiscal year, it shipped 6.3 million tons of cargo through its facilities. That’s a 13 percent jump over last year’s pace.
• Some of the last undeveloped residential property at the beach is on the market. The lots from 37th Avenue South to the St. Johns County line on Third Street are for sale by owner and agents. The lots serve as a buffer between traffic on Third Street and the homes on Duval Drive.
