Costoluto Genovese Tomato Seeds
Unbelievable Flavor for Pastes and Sauces!
You may never buy tomato paste or sauce at the store again after tasting this superb heirloom Italian tomato! A favorite since the early 19th century for robust, tangy, "tomatoey" sauces, it sets a long, heavy crop of knobby, lobed red fruit that have absolutely no plate appeal but fantastic flavor!
Beginning early in the season, continuing right through the hottest days (it loves balmy heat) and persisting long into fall, this vigorous vine sets masses of small, deeply lobed, irregular fruit. They would not win any beauty contests, but they are just perfect for canning, their flavor preceded by a rich, sharp aroma that tells you you've left the bland world of modern hybrids far behind! Treasured in Italy for many generations, Costoluto Genovese is the secret ingredient in countless family recipes for everything from lasagne to spaghetti sauce.
The flavor comes from the high acidic content of this fruit, which makes a hearty base for any dish. Discover the true tomato tang with Costoluto Genovese! It's the best tomato we've ever seen for juicing, and it tastes delicious on sandwiches and in salads, too.
Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant outdoors when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain above 55 degrees F. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 2 to 2 1/2 feet apart. Pkt is 30 seeds.

The variety of Tomato you decide to grow depends on where you live. If your growing season is short, as it is in the far north, you will want to choose an early variety to ensure yourself the best harvest. Early season Tomatoes ripen quickly, typically being ready to pick within 4 months of sowing the seeds.
Choosing a Variety
If you live in the deep south or another warm-climate area with humid summer nights, you'll want to grow varieties that are heat tolerant and resistant to blossom drop. Whatever your location, you'll need to grow your plants where they can receive at least 6 hours of full sunlight a day.
You will also need to consider when you want to harvest -- all at once or gradually over the season. If you enjoy canning the fruit, a determinate variety is your best choice. These plants grow as a 3- to 4-foot-tall bush and set all their fruit within a few weeks. If you want to enjoy your Tomatoes throughout the season, choose an indeterminate variety, which grows as a vine and needs staking. And for a little of both, consider the new semi-determinate varieties such as Sweet 'n' Neat Scarlet Improved and Orange Paruche. These plants stay small enough to grow in containers, yet keep bearing all season long!
When to Start
Tomatoes are best started indoors. This needs to be done 5 to 7 weeks before the last anticipated frost date. The seedlings can then be transplanted into your garden anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks after the last actual frost date. Call your County Extension Office to get frost information for your area.
How to Start
Park's Bio Dome seed starter is a great way to sow Tomato seeds, because each Bio Sponge has a pre-drilled hole you just drop one seed into -- no need to thin seedlings, no wasting of seeds! You can use either the original 60-cell Bio Dome, or our 18-cell Jumbo Bio Dome, which grows big, stocky seedlings ready to transplant right into your garden.
Place your Bio Dome in a 70- to 75-degree room, or just use a seedling heat mat to raise the temperature in the dome. You should see the first sprouts in 3 to 8 days. As soon as your sprouts are up, place the seedlings under strong light.
If you're using a potting mix, sow at a depth of 4 times the size of the seed. You can also use our convenient Jiffy Pots and Strips -- Jiffy Pots are constructed entirely of lightweight, sturdy peat moss, so as the roots develop, they eventually grow right through the Jiffy Pot wall and into the garden soil!
Fluorescent light for around 14 to 16 hours a day is ideal for fastest growth. Keep your seedlings just a few inches below the light so they don't "stretch" and get "leggy." If you don't have strong artificial light, a sunny window will work, too -- just keep the clear dome on your Bio Dome to protect your seedlings from those chilly drafts!
Planting Out
About 2 weeks before your transplant date work the garden soil thoroughly, adding generous amounts of compost and about 4 pounds of fertilizer (5-10-10 is ideal) for every 100 square feet. Then cover the soil with a tarp or plastic mulch to keep the weeds from sprouting until you're ready to plant.
Ten days before transplanting, you'll need to start "hardening off" your young plants by setting them outdoors in a lightly shaded area for an hour or two. The next day, give them a longer visit outside until they remain outdoors overnight, still in their pots. Naturally, if a cold spell hits, bring them indoors again to wait for the temperature to rise.
When planting, bury the stem almost up to the lowest set of leaves, even if this means covering up several extra inches. If your plants have a long, tall, spindly stem with leaves widely spaced, you can plant them horizontally in the ground right up to the first set of leaves -- the plant will root all along its stem. Just dig a long trench a few inches below the soil, lay the plant carefully into it as if you're burying it, and then gently angle the stem upwards, so that the only part showing is the very top, with at least 4 to 6 leaves aboveground. Strip the underground leaves off the plant and cover up the entire length of "leggy" stem. Be careful not to bend the stem so sharply that it breaks -- bank it with soil and pat the earth down firmly around it.
As soon as your Tomatoes are in the ground, mulch heavily around the plants to keep weeds down and moisture in the soil. If you're growing the plants in straight rows, plastic mulch is far easier and effective than loose mulch (such as straw or pine bark).
The amount of space you need to keep between Tomato plants depends on the type you're growing:
- Determinate and compact indeterminate -- 2 feet apart
- Indeterminate grown on stakes -- 18 inches apart
- Indeterminate grown in cages -- 3 feet apart
- Container varieties -- 2-gallon pot
Special Considerations
If you can keep from doing so, don't plant your Tomatoes where peppers, eggplants, or Tomatoes were planted the previous year. These veggies all belong to the same plant family and therefore have similar nutritional needs and are susceptible to similar diseases. Their presence one year can deplete soil of important nutrients and possibly leave remnants of diseases in leaf litter.
Do not over-fertilize your Tomatoes, as this can make the plants less likely to flower. Your best bet is to use a formulation created specifically for Tomatoes like Tomato AlgoFlash.
Use Kozy Coats to protect your plants from frost -- they use water and sunlight to keep the air around your plants a few degrees higher.
Growing Tips
- Prepare your soil in the fall. Lay in a foot or more of bio-degradable mulch -- chopped-up leaves, grass clippings, pine bark, decayed vegetable compost, humus, and even newspaper all break down into the soil over time. This feeds the soil just what it likes so that when you approach it with a tiller or shovel in spring, it just needs to be turned over and mixed up a bit. Then top off the whole rich pile with a piece of plastic to keep the mulch "cooking" as long as possible into winter and to prevent all the good nutrients from running off in hard rains.
- If frost still threatens after you plant your Tomatoes, or if you live in a short-season climate where late frosts are just part of spring, there are ways to keep your Tomatoes going. One way is to place a tarp over the plants, weighing it down at the edges to keep it from blowing away. Be careful, however, not to lay the tarp or plastic directly on the plants. You will need to use blocks, sticks, or whatever you have available to form a tent over your tender young Tomatoes. You can uncover it during the day and re-cover it at night, or leave it in place for several days and nights without damage to the plants.
- Once the fruit sets, be sure to keep the plants evenly watered until they're nearly ripe. The rule of thumb is an inch and a half a week, but if you begin the season watering more heavily, keep up the same rate. Just before the fruit ripens, taper off a bit. This will make the flavor meatier and less watery.
- Pick your Tomatoes when they are full, red, and firm. Eat them fresh off the vine or store them at about 60 degrees F. If you find yourself frantically picking the last several dozen while they're still green (to avoid an early autumn frost, for example), wrap them loosely in newspaper or a brown paper bag and store them in a cool, dark, dry place. Or count your blessings and fry them up at once!
Pests and Problems to Watch For
Nematodes live in the soil and destroy Tomato plants from the roots. You can use chemicals to control these pests, but the easiest and most beautiful way to kill them is to plant Marigold Golden Guardian along with your Tomatoes. This lovely annual naturally eliminates these destructive parasites.
Cutworms are caterpillars that chew through the stems of Tomato plants. They can be conquered by putting a Cutworm Shield around each plant at transplant time, or you can make your own from coffee cans, plastic drink bottles with both ends cut out, or cardboard paper towel and toilet paper rolls. Sink the shield at least an inch beneath the soil as well as several inches above it.
Pests or diseases can cause holes or spots on your leaves. The most likely pest culprit is the hornworm, which you can hand pick off your plants and dispose of as you see fit.
Blossom drop occurs when you have lots of flowers but no fruit. Anything from high humidity to unseasonable cold could cause this to happen. The plants must be pollinated to set fruit -- you can help get the pollen up and moving by shaking the plant to loosen it up a bit.
If your Tomatoes have a mark or dark scar at one end, that's Blossom-end Rot, and it's probably caused by a calcium deficiency or a sudden change in temperature during fruit set. All you need to do is cut off the affected part and enjoy the rest of the Tomato. If it's marked all over, that's called Cat-facing, and it's probably a result of transplanting too early, insufficient water, or unusually high temperatures. Again, just cut away the scarred area.
How to Sow Tomato:
- Best sown indoors, 5-7 weeks before last frost, at alternating temperatures of 68 to 86°
- Sow at a depth of 4X the size of the seed
- Expect germination in 7-14 days
- Seeds can also be sown outdoors after all danger of frost is past in the spring and in a warm soil
- Outdoors, sow at the same depth as indoors
How to Grow Tomato:
Transplanting: Transplant when there are at least two sets of true leaves and when nights are above 55°
Spacing: When planting out, plant the seedlings 2 inches deeper than the soil line. Space 11/2- 2 feet apart if staked and 4-5 feet apart if allowed to sprawl on the ground
Lighting: Site in full sun
Soil: Site in in a rich, fertile, deep, moist, well-drained garden soil.
Additional Care: For the best quality fruit: keep plants well watered and mulched, grow on a support system (stake or trellis), and fertilize prior to planting and again lightly every month.
Appearance and Use:
Grown for its red, orange, or yellow, rounded, oblong, or pear-shaped fruits that come in a variety of sizes. The plant is a frost-tender perennial that is grown as an annual. The determinate types are compact and bushier, from 12-24 inches tall. They stop growing and producing fruit when they reach their inherent size. The indeterminate types are vines that will keep growing and producing fruit until they are killed by frost. The fruit is best picked when red and juicy, however, they may be picked green and allowed to ripen indoors. Harvest regularly to keep the vine producing fruit
About Tomato:
Botanical name: Lycopersicon esculentum
Pronunciation: li-ko-per'si-kon es-ku-len'tum
Lifecycle: Perennial
Origination: Solanaceae; native to South America
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
Park Seed offers some of the highest-quality vegetable and flower seeds available in the industry, and there are a number of reasons for this.First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.
Superior Standards - University Inspected
To make sure we are providing the best seed product possible and that our customers will get the highest number of seedlings from every packet, we conduct our own germination testing and have quality-control measures in every stage of our seed-handling operation. We hold ourselves to standards that are at or above federal and state standards, including testing specific crops more frequently than recommended by federal guidelines. And in order to maintain our organic certification, we welcome Clemson University to inspect us annually to make sure our organic seeds, which are stored and processed separately, are being handled properly.
Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
And many of our seeds are packed in our exclusive Fresh-Pak gold foil packets, which are lined to keep moisture out, so the seeds stay fresher for longer. We carefully pack very tiny or fragile seeds in crush-proof vials to ensure safe delivery to your home. Some of the small seeds are also offered as "pellets" (have a clay coating) to make sowing and growing easier. When it comes to the kinds of seeds we offer, we are constantly seeking something new and provide many unique and hard-to-find varieties from all around the world. Our on-staff horticulturists are ready and available to share their expertise to help you with the success of these seeds, so you can grow a beautiful and productive garden!Does Park sell GMO's or treated seeds?
It is important for our customers to know that Park Seed does not sell GMO or treated seed. We do buy a small amount of traditional hybrid seed from Seminis, a division of Monsanto Co., but that is all we purchase from them.
What are the differences between organic, heirloom, and hybrid seed?
Basically, organic seeds are seeds that are produced without the use and exposure to artificial/chemical fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and other chemicals. They have to be grown, harvested, stored, and handled under very strict organic rules and procedures. All of our organic seeds are USDA 100% certified organic through Clemson University and the certificate has to be renewed yearly.Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
What are pelleted seeds? Why do you use them? How do I handle/sow them?
Extremely small seed such as Petunias and Pentas are shipped as pelleted seed to make them easier to handle and sow. Pelleted seed are coated, usually with clay, to make them larger in size. After sowing, the coating will dissolve when wet and the seed will germinate. Pelleted seeds are shipped in vials placed inside seed packets, which protects them from being crushed. When sowing, be certain to use thoroughly moistened soil, to be sure that the clay coating absorbs enough moisture to dissolve. For sowing pelleted Petunia seeds, place the seeds directly on the soil surface and do not cover with soil, as light aids in the germination.
What is ideal temperature to germinate most seeds?
The ideal temperature to germinate most seeds is approximately 70 degrees F; give or take 1-2 degrees either way. This would be a good germination temperature for most flower and vegetable seeds and would be the most practical and feasible temperatures achieved for gardeners starting seeds in the home. You will notice for some seeds that it is recommended to use alternating day (warmer), night (cooler), temperatures, which is fine if one can provide such conditions. But most people are unable to provide those temperatures in a home setting, so just use the overall 70 degree F recommendation and the seeds should germinate well.
How long should grow lights be kept on per day and how close to the plants should the light be kept?
For germination and seedling/plant growth, you want to simulate the natural day-night cycles, and as a general rule, grow lights should be on 8-12 hours per day and off at night. You can vary this timing, as some seeds such as tomato, pepper, petunia, impatiens, and others, benefit from 14-17 hours of light per day (and the remainder of the 24 hour period in darkness). The most common grow lights used are fluorescent; using cool white, warm white, and wide-spectrum fluorescent tubes. These lights work well for germination and for growing plants up to a transplantable size. Fluorescent lights should be kept close though, 3-6 inches above the soil or the growing plants, adjusting the height as the plants grow.
How long will seeds keep in storage?
Park Seed stores seed in a special temperature- and humidity-controlled storage facility, which keeps seeds in excellent condition. Our seeds should be good for at least 1-2 years on average. Seed viability and storage time will vary depending on the seed item; some will keep a shorter time and some will keep longer. Seeds should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place. A basement will do (if not too humid), or a cool, dark room or closet. We recommend the best way to extend seed storage life is to store them in something air tight, such as a plastic zipper storage bag or canning jar, and place it in the refrigerator. This will extend the life of seeds for many years.
What is the best way to store seeds over a longer time period?
We recommend the best way to extend seed storage life is to store seeds in something air tight, such as a plastic zipper storage bag or canning jar, and place it in the refrigerator. This will extend the life of seeds for many years.
What depth should I sow various seeds?
When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a maximum planting depth of 4X the width of the seed. When sowing seed indoors, the planting depth can be less, depending on the seed being sown, so it is always best to check specific directions. Here are some general guidelines concerning planting depth in relation to seed size: Tiny, dust-like seeds need to be sown on the surface of the growing medium or soil, uncovered, as they need light to germinate. The planting depth for small seed can be anywhere from barely covering, to 1/8-inch deep, to possibly 1/4-inch deep, depending on the recommendation. Medium seed should be planted at 1/4- to 1/2-inch deep, depending on the recommendation. Larger seeds can be planted 1-inch or deeper, depending on the recommendation.

Now THIS was the kind of book I'd been seeking, one that had me scheming about how to get back to it, even when I really should have been doing other stuff.
"Unaccustomed Earth" is on this year's American Library Association Notable Books list. It's a collection of short stories, set in contemporary America, about young people who are of Bengali descent. Typically, the stories explore issues of having two cultures to bridge, of finding love in those circumstances, of staying true to the best in one's upbringing.
Apparently, I'm one of the last people to find out about Jhumpa Lahiri; she won the Pulitzer Prize for "The Interpeter of Maladies." I was amazed by how many people to whom I've mentioned this book (and I've mentioned it to a LOT of people) have already read it, or have it on their bedside tables.
What makes these stories so good? One, the characters are so well-drawn. Two, the endings are hopeful in sometimes unexpected ways. Three, the language is so good that I didn't even notice it. Four, she observes people so well. Five, the cultural issues are fascinating.
Thanks to the Notable Books committee for bringing this excellent book to my attention. I'm grateful. Have you read it already? What did you think?

New Feather River train tour to take the Highline past Lake Almanor
Rail fans will want to mark their calendars for the opportunity of rare mileage on the Northern California Explorer as it traverses the Feather River Canyon to Keddie, then onto the Highline/Inside Gateway past Lake Almanor and Shasta to Klamath Falls, Ore.
The proposed itinerary begins the afternoon of Friday, June 3, with departures from Emeryville, Martinez, Davis and Sacramento. Passengers will overnight at hotels in Oroville, with the chance to dine in the historic Western Pacific depot, which is now the Western Pacific Brewing Co., a locally owned brewpub.
Saturday morning views will include Lake Oroville and the climb up the canyon to Keddie, where the train will turn north onto the old Western Pacific Highline, which now belongs to Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and is known as the Inside Gateway. Passengers will see Lake Almanor and Westwood before heading toward Bieber on tracks that were never in existence until the 1930s and were never part of regular passenger service.
Once past Bieber, the train will run the former Great Northern tracks on the east side of Mount Shasta to Klamath Falls, where passengers will be housed for the night in area motels.
The southbound trip begins Sunday morning, along the former Southern Pacific Shasta Route along the line once traveled by the Shasta Daylight, including a climb on the Grass Lake Summit and a downward spiral through the Cantara Loop to Dunsmuir and on to Redding and Binney Junction, where the train will resume the same route traveled on the outbound journey.
Three classes of travel are currently offered: coach, dome and premium dome.
Coach passengers will travel in Amtrak cars, dome passengers will ride in the Nenana and Silver Splendor cars and premium passengers in Silver Lariat and Silver Solarium cars.
Coach and dome class passengers will include boxed lunches Saturday and Sunday, while the premium passengers will be treated to first-class food and beverage service.
All passengers will be provided bus transfers to and from hotels in Oroville and Klamath Falls.
Those who plan to board the train before its arrival in Oroville may book their accommodations with the trip if they wish, which is recommended due to the limited availability at the destinations.
Train only tickets are also available.
Those who purchase the two-day trip that begins in Oroville will have to make their own arrangements for transportation from Chico back to Oroville on Sunday.
Tickets can be reserved with no obligation until railway approvals, pricing and other arrangements are finalized. Those who have reserved a spot will be notified when the prices are set and may cancel their reservation at that time, if they wish.
Members of the Central Coast Railway Club are organizing the Northern California Explorer excursion train, and Trains & Travel International personnel have been asked to help promote the trip and sell tickets.
To make reservations, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, call (800) 359-4870 or (775) 453-1004, or fax (800) 266-8751.

Scriabin is mainly known for his mystic-visionary piano works today; but his Romance for horn, which he composed at a young age, is also a charming chamber music work. The technically not very demanding horn part with its opulent piano accompaniment means that it is a very effective recital piece, even for pupils. As the work was not published during the composer's lifetime, the autograph is the sole source for our edition. It was prepared in collaboration with the Moscow Scriabin scholar Valentina Rubcova.

My daughter absolutely loves the braided style. Her friends love it too, with one wanting to know how he can get it! Teens! It was difficult to put on, taking two of us. (Posted on 9/9/13)Rated: - Happy so far Review by Judith
I have owned this bracelet for about two weeks now, and am very happy with the product so far. The bracelet shipped to me is exactly as shown and described on the website. I have worn it outdoors and gotten the bracelet wet with no adverse reactions. As long as one clasp is already connected to the ID tag, I can just push the other clasp onto the other side of the ID fairly easily (i.e.- I can put the bracelet on by myself without a problem). This bracelet is more comfortable against my skin than the metal one I also purchased, but seems to be just as durable. (Posted on 9/3/13)Rated: - Terrific style Review by Tom

Before beginning...
Before playing with the examples you'll find below, you should first look at:
Some optional more advanced topics you may also wish to peruse:
- Command Line : Groovy can be launched in shell script mode
- Compiling Groovy : Groovy can be launched as any Java program
- Embedding Groovy : embedding Groovy in Java code using built-in capabilities
- JSR 223 Scripting with Groovy : embedding Groovy in Java code using JSR 223
- Bean Scripting Framework : embedding Groovy in Java code using the BSF
Your First Groovy
To run it from command line
Groovy classes compile down to Java bytecode and so there's a 1-1 mapping between a Groovy class and a Java class.
Indeed each Groovy class can be used inside normal Java code - since it is a Java class too.
Probably the easiest way to get groovy is to try working with collections. In Groovy List (java.util.List) and Map (java.util.Map) are both first class objects in the syntax. So to create a List of objects you can do the following...
Notice that everything is an object (or that auto-boxing takes place when working with numbers). To create maps...
Iterating over collections is easy...
Once you have some collections you can then use some of the new collection helper methods or try working with closures...
Working with closures
Closures are similar to Java's inner classes, except they are a single method which is invokable, with arbitrary parameters. A closure can have as many parameters as you wish...
If no parameter(s) is(are) specified before -> symbol then a default named parameter, called 'it' can be used. e.g.
Using closures allows us to process collections (arrays, maps, strings, files, SQL connections and so forth) in a clean way. e.g
Note: If a given closure is the last parameter of a method, its definition can reside outside of the parentheses. Thus the following code is valid:
Here are a number of helper methods available on collections & strings...
iterate via a closure
collect the return value of calling a closure on each item in a collection
finds first item matching closure predicate
finds all items matching closure predicate
allows you to pass a value into the first iteration and then pass the result of that iteration into the next iteration and so on. This is ideal for counting and other forms of processing
In addition there's 2 new methods for doing boolean logic on some collection...
returns true if all items match the closure predicate
returns true if any item match the closure predicate
Other helper methods include:
max / min
returns the max/min values of the collection - for Comparable objects
concatenates the values of the collection together with a string value

One of the most frequently aired concerns when discussing electric vehicles (EV) is what happens when you run out of juice. Of course the obvious answer is that you break down, just like with a normal car - but with some forethought, you're not likely to let that happen. Should the unthinkable happen, however, some news from Japan may bring a little comfort to existing and prospective EV owners. The Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) and Nissan have just started testing a roadside service vehicle that's equipped with a charger to assist EVs.

The Surly Krampus has been dubbed the "29+" due to being able to handle 3" tires. The larger tires increase traction and add some degree of float. The Krampus's frame (geometry, tubing diameter, and thickness) were designed with a long top tube and as short of a rear end as possible. This, in combination with the big, wide tires, results in a superior amount of rolling inertia and grip. The Krampus rolls fast, holds speed, and corners like it's on rails. Surly basically designed a slightly over built race bike.

B-14, BB-51 [R2]. Extremely nice coin conservatively graded at the VF20 level.
Ron Guth: The 1795 Off-Center Bust Silver Dollar resulted when the engraver punched the bust of Liberty too far left into the die. Because of the high cost of die steel, the engraver completed the die in spite of the mis-placement of the bust, then coins were struck in normal production.
The Off-Center Bust is at least twice as rare as the Centered Bust, according to the PCGS Population Report. In Mint State the difference is even greater. Of the 8 Mint State Off-Center Bust Dollars certified by PCGS, the typical grade is MS-63 to MS-64. The finest example certified by PCGS is a single MS-66 (illustrated above).

L. 112–213, title II, § 217(1),Dec. 20, 2012, 126 Stat. 1556.)
Historical and Revision Notes
This section defines in general terms, for the first time in any statute, all the primary duties of the Coast Guard. It is derived from title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 45,50k–50o,
301, title
33, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 720,720a,
740b, title
46, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 1 (footnote), 2 (R.S. 1536, 2747, 2758, 2759, 4249; June 23, 1874, ch. 455, § 1,18 Stat. 220; June 18, 1878, ch. 265, § 4,20 Stat. 163; July 5, 1884, ch. 221, § 2,23 Stat. 118; Feb. 14, 1903, ch. 552, § 10,32 Stat. 829; Apr. 19, 1906, ch. 1640, §§ 1–3,34 Stat. 123; May 12, 1906, ch. 2454, 34 Stat. 190; June 17, 1910, ch. 301, §§ 6,
7,36 Stat. 538; Mar. 4, 1913, ch. 141, § 1,37 Stat. 736; June 24, 1914, ch. 124, 38 Stat. 387; Mar. 3, 1915, ch. 81, § 5,38 Stat. 927; Aug. 29, 1916, ch. 417, 39 Stat. 1820; May 22, 1926, ch. 371, § 6,44 Stat. 626; June 30, 1932, ch. 314, § 501,47 Stat. 415; May 27, 1936, ch. 463, § 1,49 Stat. 1380; Aug. 16, 1937, ch. 665, § 3,50 Stat. 667; Feb. 19, 1941, ch. 8, §§ 2,
201,55 Stat. 9, 11; July 11, 1941, ch. 290, § 7,55 Stat. 585; Nov. 23, 1942, ch. 639, § 2(2),56 Stat. 102; Sept. 30, 1944, ch. 453, § 1,58 Stat. 759; June 22, 1948, ch. 600, 62 Stat. 574; June 26, 1948, ch. 672, 62 Stat. 1050).
This section contains a codification of functions. It sets forth in general language the primary responsibilities of the Coast Guard: enforcement of all Federal laws on waters to which they have application, safety of life and property at sea, aiding navigation, and readiness to function with the Navy. Having been created in 1915 by the consolidation of the Revenue Cutter Service and the Life Saving Service, the Coast Guard has gradually been given additional duties and responsibilities, such as the assignment of law enforcement powers on the high seas and navigable waters in 1936, the transfer of the Lighthouse Service in 1939, and the transfer of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation in 1942. Existing along with these other duties has been that of maintaining a state of readiness as a specialized service prepared for active participation with the Navy in time of war. These various interdependent functions of the Service have not been expressed collectively in any statute heretofore, but it is believed desirable to do so in this revision in order to have outlined in general terms in one section the broad scope of the functions of the Coast Guard. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.
2012—Pub. L. 112–213amended section generally. Prior to amendment, section related to primary duties of the Coast Guard.
1988—Pub. L. 100–690substituted "United States; shall engage in maritime air surveillance or interdiction to enforce or assist in the enforcement of the laws of the United States; shall administer" for first reference to "United States;".
Pub. L. 100–448substituted "Federal laws on, under, and over" for "Federal laws on and under".
1986—Pub. L. 99–640inserted ", including the fulfillment of Maritime Defense Zone command responsibilities."
1974—Pub. L. 93–519inserted provision requiring Coast Guard to develop, establish, maintain and operate, pursuant to international agreements, icebreaking facilities in waters other than those subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
1970—Pub. L. 91–278improved and clarified text, substituting "on and under" for "upon" in clause preceding first semicolon; inserting "and under" after "life and property on" and striking out "on" after "the high seas and" in clause preceding second semicolon; and substituting "icebreaking" for "ice-breaking" and inserting ", under," after "promotion of safety on" in clause preceding third semicolon, respectively.
1961—Pub. L. 87–396required Coast Guard to engage in oceanographic research on high seas and in waters subject to jurisdiction of the United States.

Betty Buckley :: 'A Workin' Girl's Gotta Keep Working!'
You mention the name Betty Buckley and two things come to mind....Abby on TV dramedy "Eight is Enough," and most prominently the lady who sings the hell out of "Memories" from Andrew Webber's "CATS" on Broadway, the latter winning her a Tony.
But there is so much more to what Buckley has offered us with her talents in theater ("CATS", "Mysteries of Edwin Drood," "Sunset Boulevard" and the fabulous flop "Carrie"), television ("Eight is Enough," "Pretty Liars"), film ("Carrie," "Tender Mercies," "The Happenings"), and music with fifteen solo releases over the past 43 years. At 65, Betty Buckley has no indication of slowing down either.
With the album release this past summer of songs from her hit show at Feinstein's at the Regency, "Ah, Men: The Boys of Broadway," Buckley has plans to release her 16th album entitled "Ghostlight" later in 2013. Her television career has been revitalized with a recurring role on "Pretty Liars," and she co-starred in a film release in 2011, "5 Time Champion."
Still, the musical theater continues to be Buckley's first love, which brings her to London next year to star in a revival of Jerry Herman's "Dear World." Though the touring of her highly acclaimed concert "Ah, Men..." may be coming to an end in December, she has already introduced another show "The Other Woman: The Vixens of Broadway" that I'm sure she'll pick up when she returns from London.
While going through rehearsals and preparing for the final performances of her album-supported concert, I spoke with the Betty Buckley, the next inductee in the Theater Hall of Fame.
Very blessed
BeBe: It's very rare to review the works of someone that embodies everything as it pertains to entertainment. You have a wealth of work not only in the theater, not only in television, not only in film but you have also released 15 solo albums. How can you do all of that?
Betty Buckley: (laughing) A working girl's gotta keep working! It's fun. I really enjoy it all. And, I'm thankful that I still have the opportunity.
BeBe: That's even more amazing because you work in a profession where roles for women with meaning are not readily available as with men, yet, you've still been able to do work that is notable.
Betty Buckley: Thank you. I've been very, very blessed.
BeBe: Being that most of us in the public grew to know you from role as Abby on 'Eight is Enough' for four seasons prior to your going back to theater from where you started to do Andrew Webber's 'CATS' which earned you the Tony, do you think most were a bit surprised to learn magnitude of your theater presence?
Betty Buckley: Yeah, actually there were people on 'Eight is Enough' I kept asking if I could sing on the show, and they said nooooo. Oh, now she wants to sing. Then finally they let me write a couple of songs for Abby over the course of the show. I don't think they really knew because I would fly back to New York every six-weeks for my voice lessons that one of the producers of the show thought was particularly crazy. I'll be back on Broadway and he says 'you'll be lucky if you play American mothers for the rest of your life.'
We'll see Greg (Strangis), we'll see! I went on after I left that show to do 'CATS,' I played a boy in 'The Mysteries of Edwin Drood ,' and then on to play a country-western alcoholic star in 'Tender Mercies' (1983 film). I think I made him eat his words there.
Her first movie
BeBe: I bet he is doing just that. What you've done is so amazing because many when people (actors) get into the same roles for a long time on television in sitcoms or dramas they kind of get stuck in playing those same parts.
Betty Buckley: Well, it's a great job when you can get it. But my love is especially in musical theater.
BeBe: You touched upon your film work wen mentioning 'Tender Mercies' which reminded me that you were in 'Carrie' (she played the gym teacher). Was that your first film?
Betty Buckley: Yes, 'Carrie' was my first movie.
BeBe: Have you done another horror film?
Betty Buckley: Yes, I did a (M. Night) Shyamalan ('The Sixth Sense,' 'Signs,' 'The Village') called 'The Happenings' (2008 film with Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel). I played a crazy lady who kills herself by smashing her head through a window.
Theater Hall of Fame
BeBe: Now, 2013 hasn't even arrived yet and already you have a year ahead of you that we can celebrate now.
Betty Buckley: Well, we certainly hope so.
BeBe: Well, you have a new album coming out in 2013, I understand, even though you are still touring from the wonderful album you just released at the end of August, 'Ah, Men: The Boys of Broadway.'
Betty Buckley: Yes 'Ah, Men...' was just released at the end of August and then 'Ghostlight' will be released sometime in 2013 which was produced by the brilliant T. Bone Burnett.
BeBe: And then, you will be in the new London revival of 'Dear World' which is a Jerry Herman (who has been living with HIV for over 25 years) production. That has to be exciting.
Betty Buckley: Yes, we leave for London in December. Gillian Lynne, the choreographer of 'CATS') is choreographing and directing. We open Feb. 4, 2013 at the Charing Cross Theatre and run until the end of March in hopes that this little run in a little theater is a predecessor to a move to the West End. But, so much remains to be seen before that happens.
BeBe: And you're being inducted in the Theater Hall of Fame...
Betty Buckley: Yeah, that is happening Jan. 28 (2013). I just found out about that. I'm really thrilled.
BeBe: And it's way past due.
Betty Buckley: Thank you. I hope they'll let me fly back from London for this. It would be great to be there.
Boys and vixens
BeBe: Oh my goodness. There will be protests around the world if not (we both laugh). Look 2013 has all these wonderful blessings ahead for you, but leading up to all that you have the 'Ah, Man: The Boys of Broadway' you are touring in concert format representing your latest album. Now, I know these are songs that are normally performed by men. What was it about these songs that made you want to perform, particularly since they are male songs?
Betty Buckley: These are songs I've always loved and have always wanted to sing but I thought this was little gathering songs by men, I didn't feel people would quite get why I was singing them. I do a show every year at Feinstein's (at the Regency for the past 8 years. I decided last year to do this collection 'Ah, Men: The Boys of Broadway.' Currently I'm at Feinstein's doing 'The Other Woman: The Vixens of Broadway' from roles that are the second leads, and that's been very fun, too.
BeBe: Are there any plans do release an album form of 'The Other Woman: The Vixens of Broadway' like you did with 'Ah, Men...'?
Betty Buckley: I don't know. We are recording it live this weekend and we will see what happens.
Back on television
BeBe: Now I know over the past couple of years you have returned to television in some roles that have been apart of shows ('Melrose Place,' 'Pretty Little Liars') directed by your brother (Norman Buckley). How has that been taking direction from your brother?
Betty Buckley: He's a great director! I'm really grateful. Through his relationship with the people at 'Pretty Little Liars' (on Fox) he got them to come see me in concert, and they wrote me a recurring role on that show, the grandmother of Johanna and Regina (characters) who is a crazy one.
BeBe: I've always thought that if there is one person that they need to bring onto 'Glee,' it should be you.
Betty Buckley: Oh gee, thanks!
BeBe: Would that be something you would do if approached with that offer?
Betty Buckley: Of course. It's a great show. And, I also love 'Smash' (NBC), too.
BeBe: Maybe I should start a Facebook campaign to get you on the show.
Betty Buckley: Actually, that's already been done, but they don't seem to be persuaded by it. The producers are going to do what they are going to do.
Betty Buckley continues her "Ah, Men: The Boys of Broadway" concert show to San Francisco's Rrazz Room in the Hotel Nikko through Nov. 3. For more information and tickets go to www.therrazzroom.com
Buckley's "Ah, Men: The Boys of Broadway" show stops next at:
Nov. 10: The New Jersey Performing Arts Center Newark, NJ
Nov. 15-18: Smith Center Las Vegas, NV

Watch Betty Buckley sing "As If We Never Said Goodbye":
As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.
