Maritime Law at Tulane
The William Tetley Maritime Law Lecture Series Webcast Feb. 14, 2012
Presentation documents:
The maritime law experience at Tulane is second to none. The maritime law program is internationally renowned for its breadth and depth of studies, events and activities.
The Maritime Law Center was created in 1982. It functioned informally under the Directorship of Professor Robert Force until 1986, when the Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund formally approved a resolution establishing the Center as a division of the Law School. At the same time, the Administrators confirmed the endowment of a fund to support the activities of the Center.
The Center is led by two co-Directors, Professor Robert Force and Professor Martin Davies. Two committees assist the Directors in formulating policy and in fundraising. These are the Committee of Advisers and the Endowment Committee.ACADEMIC PROGRAMS - SPECIALIST ADMIRALTY LL.M. AND J.D.
Tulane Law School offers the only A.B.A.-accredited LL.M. in Admiralty in the United States. Admiralty LL.M. students come from all over the world, as well as all over the United States. To maintain the quality of the LL.M. in Admiralty experience, no more than 20 students are enrolled in the program per year.
Tulane J.D. students may graduate with a Certificate in Admiralty.
The Admiralty LL.M. and Admiralty Certificate programs are described in greater detail on the "Academic Programs" page of this site.SCHOLARSHIPS FOR MARITIME LAW STUDY AT TULANE
In 2000, the Harry F. Stiles, Jr. Scholarship Fund was established, dedicated to providing scholarships for students directing their studies to maritime law. The Stiles Fund provides substantial financial assistance to both LL.M. and J.D. students. The Maritime Law Center provides additional scholarship funds from its own endowment. Presently between 10 and 15 students each year are recipients of financial support.TULANE MARITIME LAW JOURNAL
The Tulane Maritime Law Journal is the first student-edited law review devoted exclusively to maritime law and is one of only four specialist maritime journals in the United States. The Directors of the Center serve as faculty advisers to the Journal's Editorial Board.TULANE MARITIME LAW SOCIETY
The Tulane Maritime Law Society is a student organization dedicated to the interests of students who intend to practice maritime law. The Society organizes field trips to maritime facilities, sponsors guest speakers, etc. It also sponsors social events. The Directors of the Center serve as faculty advisers to the Society.CONFERENCES
Tulane hosts the keynote Admiralty Law Institute every other year, in odd-numbered years. This Institute was established in 1965 before the creation of the Maritime Law Center.
The Maritime Law Center also sponsors various academic symposiums and CLE conferences in New Orleans and has cooperated with other institutions and Maritime organizations in presenting conferences and seminars in London, Panama City, Santiago, Copenhagen and Athens.
In 1999, the Maritime Law Center established the William Tetley Lecture in Maritime Law. Professor Tetley is a Professor at McGill Law School in Montreal. For many years, he taught mini-courses at Tulane, covering a wide range of admiralty topics. The Lecture was established to honor Professor Tetley for his distinguished service to Tulane Law School's maritime program, his contributions to scholarship and his service to the international maritime community.
In 2002, the William Tetley Lecture was given by the Hon. Mr Justice David Steel, Judge of the Admiralty Court of the Queen's Bench Division of the U.K.'s High Court of Justice.ACADEMIC VISITORS
In recent years, Tulane has hosted maritime law professors from McGill University in Montreal, the University of Oslo in Norway, Åbo Akademi University in Finland, the University of Southampton in England, Dalhousie University in Canada, the University of Siena in Italy, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
In addition, senior practitioners and barristers from New York and London have taught at Tulane, as has an in-house counsel from a French oil company based in Paris.Visiting research scholars have come from Australia, the People's Republic of China, Finland, Croatia, South Africa and Venezuela to research maritime law at the Center. For additional information about applying for Visiting Scholar or Visiting Researcher status, click here.DISTINGUISHED PRACTITIONER IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM
Every year, the Maritime Law Center invites to the Law School an experienced admiralty practitioner from outside New Orleans. Usually but not always the lawyer is the President or another officer of the Maritime Law Association of the United States. This program allows students to meet with the visiting practitioner in small group settings over coffee and lunch to discuss some of the practical aspects of maritime law. The program is established as the John Sims Distinguished Admiralty Practitioner in Residence, and is funded by an anonymous donor and the Phelps Dunbar law firm of New Orleans.CENTER FOR SEAFARERS RIGHTS INTERNSHIP
The Maritime Law Center has close ties with the Center for Seafarers Rights in New York. Each summer the Maritime Law Center funds a student intern to work at the Center for Seafarers Rights.WRITING COMPETITION
Each year, the Houston-based law firm of Bell, Ryniker and Letourneau sponsors a maritime law writing competition with a $1,000 prize. All students at the Law School are eligible to compete.ADMIRALTY MOOT COURT COMPETITION
Every other year, in even-numbered years, Tulane Law School hosts the John R. Brown Appellate Admiralty Moot Court competition, a national admiralty mooting competition. The Maritime Law Center and the Tulane Law School Moot Court Board handle the local arrangements for the competition.

Sixteen symbols can be divided in three ways into sets containing an equal number of symbols, viz., into two 8's, four 4's, or eight 2's. In the following list a group is classed under the first systems of intransitivity to which its head belongs. For example a group having both two and four systems of imprimitivity is listed among those having two systems.
In previous lists letters of the alphabet have usually been used as elements. In this list letters with subscripts are used, the letters to distinguish between the systems and the numbers a subscripts to distinguish between elements within the system. The sixteen symbols used differ therefore with the number of systems.
For two systems of imprimitivity they are
a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 b8
for four systems they are
a1 a2 a3 a4 b1 b2 b3 b4 c1 c2 c3 c4 d1 c2 c3 c4
for eight systems they are
a1 a2 b1 b2 c1 c2 d1 d2 e1 e2 f1 f2 g1 g2 h1 h2
The transformations necessary for the final comparison of groups of different systems are very simple.
The transitive constituents of the heads are distinguished by numbering them as they are numbered by Professor G. A. Miller in this "Memoir on the Substitution Groups whose Degree does not Exceed Eight" [American Journal of Mathematics, vol. 21 (1899)]. For example, (a1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8)3211 is the eleventh group of order 32 and degree 8 in Professor Miller's list. Each distinct head is written and is followed by substitutions which generate groups that multiplied into the given head produce distinct imprimitive groups. In this list the following notation is used:
(1) Two systems,
t = a1b1.a2b2.a3b3.a4b4.a5b5.a6b6.a7b7.a8b8
(2) Four systems,
t = a1b1.a12b2.a3b3.a4b4.c1d1.c2d2.c3d3.c4d4
t1 = a1b1c1.a2b2c2.a3b3c3
t3 = a1b1.a2b2.a3b3.a4b4
Of these t t1 generate a group simply isomorphic to the alternating group of degree four and t t1 t3 generate one simply isomorphic to the symmetric group of degree 4.
(3) Eight systems,
t1 =
t2 = a1e1f1d1b1c1g1h1.a2e2f2d2b2c2g2h2
t3 = b1d1c1g1e1f1.b2d2c2g2e2f2
t4 = h1a1.b1d1.c1g1.e1f1.h2a2.b2d2.c2g2.e2f2
t5 = b1g1d1c1.e1f1.b2g2d2c2.e2f2
t6 = a1b1h1.a2b2h2
t7 = a1h1.a2h2
Of these t1 t7 generate a group simply isomorphic to the symmetric group of degree eight; t1 t6 to the alternating group; t1 t4 t32 t5 to the primitive group of order 1344; t1 t2 t3 to the 336; t1 t22 t32 to 1681; t1 t4 t32 to 1682; t1 t4 to the 56 group.

Once a student account remains unpaid 150 days after the initial due date, the account is transferred to the Student Loan Collection Department. At this time the student can pay the account in full or establish an agreed upon payment plan with a Collection Specialist. It is extremely important for the student to address the situation at this point in order to avoid further progressive collection action including the assessment of collection costs and interest levied by the Ohio Attorney General's Office. Students can contact a Collection Specialist at (937) 775-5666 if they have further questions.
Student's Financial Responsibility
By registering for classes at Wright State University, I agree to assume financial responsibility for all charges billed to my student account including, but not limited to, in-state and out-of-state tuition, general fees, course fees, housing, meal plan and telephone charges, health insurance, late fees, parking permits and fines (hereafter referred to separately and collectively as "Student Obligations"). By checking the acknowledgment box, I acknowledge that I have read and understand the following provisions:
When I register:
- Beginning with the second due date and remaining due dates of each semester, a $50.00 late payment fee will be assessed during the term my account remains unpaid.
- My classes will be subject to cancellation if my account remains unpaid as stated below:
- Courses registered on or before and not paid by initial payment due dates for the term are subject to cancellation for non-payment.
- Initial Due Dates: Fall Semester-August 15 | Spring Semester - December 15th | Summer Semester - April 15th
- Student accounts must be paid in full, enrolled in a payment plan, or have sufficient financial aid to pay the remaining balance by the payment due date to avoid cancellation of classes. Cancellation for non-payment will occur prior to the start of the term (3 business days after the payment due date). For more information about payment due dates and late registration fees, please see the Academic Calendar.
- It is my responsibility to withdraw from classes during the 100% refund period if I decide not to attend this semester.
Regardless of the registration period, I understand and acknowledge:
- If my federal or institutional financial aid is either not received by Wright State University or I later lose eligibility to retain financial aid for the semester, I assume responsibility for paying all Student Obligations for this term.
- If my third party sponsor (private employer, governmental agency, etc.) fails to pay Wright State University by the end of the term, I assume responsibility for paying the amount the sponsor originally promised to pay on my behalf.
- Additional late payment fees will be assessed throughout the term if I fail to pay my Student Obligations during the semester.
- A "HOLD" will be placed on my records if my Student Obligations remain unpaid after the official refund period ends for the term which will prevent my ability to register for future semesters, adjust class schedule for the current term, receive an official university transcript and have degree status confirmed by the university.
- All costs, expenses, late fees, and attorney fees related to the collection of my Student Obligations will be paid by me to the full extent permitted by law.
- Wright State University and its' representatives may use an automated calling system and a pre-recorded message to contact me by phone regarding any outstanding account I have and will use any phone number I have provided.
Collection Hold
When a student account is transferred to Collections, a collections hold will be placed on the account. These individuals are unable to register, receive transcripts, grades or diplomas. The hold will remain in place until the balance is paid in full.
Courtesy Contacts
WSU will make a reasonable effort to notify the account holder of the status of the account and of possible reporting to the Credit Bureau, and/or assignment to the State of Ohio, Attorney General's Office. These contacts will generally be made via telephone contact and/or letters. All bills and written correspondence regarding a delinquent account will be mailed to the address on file for the individual. It is the student's responsibility to maintain an accurate billing address with WSU.
Reporting to Credit Bureau
WSU will report the delinquent account to the credit bureau once the account is 180 or more days past due and a satisfactory payment plan has not been established. Once an account has been reported to the credit bureau it will not be removed.
Placement with the Ohio Attorney General
If the account holder fails to respond to the courtesy contacts and hasn't established a satisfactory payment plan, the account will be certified to the Ohio Attorney General for further action as required in the Ohio Revised Code. Once an account is placed with the Ohio Attorney General, all payments and contact should be made directly with them.
Collection Costs
The Ohio Attorney General and/or their approved collection agencies will assess collection fees and interest to the account. In addition, the Ohio Attorney General reserves the right to handle litigation necessary to collect the debt. All costs associated with collection and litigation may be passed on to the account holder. The entire balance, including interest and fees, must be paid in full to remove the account from collections and return to good standing.

Water is a basic necessity for life. The majority of the world and our bodies are made up of water. Yet there is an ever-growing demand for clean drinking water. Water conservation and protecting watershed health is vital to protecting our water resources and maintaining a clean, safe, reliable water supply. East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) provides water and wastewater services for Berkeley residents and businesses.
As the demand for water in California grows, so does the demand for energy: water-related energy use consumes 19% of the state's electricity, 30 percent of its natural gas, and 88 billion gallons of diesel fuel every year. By reducing water use, you can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to Berkeley's Climate Action movement. See how the Berkeley community is doing towards saving water.
Water Conservation. Turn off water when it is not needed, install water efficient fixtures, and check for leaks. See EBMUD's Water Smart Center for tips and rebates for saving water as well as the California's Save Our Water rebates webpage. See the City's drought response webpage for more information on current efforts to save water.
Water Efficient Landscaping. Save water by irrigating your garden with harvested rainwater or graywater. Learn how to create a drought-resistant landscape using the guidelines from Bay Friendly Garden. Check out the irrigation and landscape requirements of the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
Drinking Water. Drink from the tap! Berkeley's drinking water is renowned for its quality. To learn more, see EBMUD's information on water quality.
Watershed Protection. EBMUD's water supply begins at the Mokelumne River watershed in the Sierra Nevada and extends 90 miles to the East Bay. To learn more about how to reduce water pollution and keep our waterways clean and healthy, see watershed resources and Berkeley creeks. Enjoy the Berkeley Marina and San Francisco Bay shoreline.
Wastewater. Check out Sanitary Sewer Information and Sewage Leak Safety & Environmental Health.
Stormwater. Berkeley's stormwater drains to the San Francisco Bay. Stormdrains should be clean and free of trash and pollution, see Stormwater Drain Information and Industrial and Commercial Stormwater Inspection information. Check out the Stormwater Fact Sheets that include information how to encourage retention and infiltration through bioswales, permeable paving, rain gardens, and rainwater catchment. For stormwater pollution prevention during construction, see Best Management Practices. More information can also be found on the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program website.

I removed the chain from the rear sprocket and took a 1961 BSA DBD34 from Homestead to Texas. No problem except when my wife decided to back up to get the car closer to the gas pump! I was amazed that I was able to pick up the rear of the bike while screaming at her to "stop" before she backed over my Goldstar!! If you do use one I suggest make certain it fits both the car and the bike and is well-made! Also a note taped to the dash saying "DO NOT BACK UP" in giant red letters may be appropriate!

What are the words to the Birthday Message by General John A. Lejeune, 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps?
On November 1st, 1921, John A. Lejeune, 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, directed that a reminder of the honorable service of the Corps be published by every command, to all Marines throughout the globe, on the birthday of the Corps. Since that day, Marines have continued to distinguish themselves on many battlefields and foreign shores, in war and peace. On this birthday of the Corps, therefore, in compliance with the will of the 13th Commandant, Article 38, United States Marine Corps Manual, Edition of 1921, is republished as follows:
"(1) On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of the Continental Congress. Since that date many thousand men have borne the name Marine. In memory of them it is fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the birthday of our Corps by calling to mind the glories of its long and illustrious history.
"(2) The record of our Corps is one which will bear comparison with that of the most famous military organizations in the world's history. During 90 of the 146 years of its existence the Marine Corps has been in action against the Nation's foes. From the Battle of Trenton to the Argonne, Marines have won foremost honors in war, and in the long era of tranquility at home, generation after generation of Marines have grown gray in war in both hemispheres, and in every corner of the seven seas that our country and its citizens might enjoy peace and security.
"(3) In every battle and skirmish since the birth of our Corps, Marines have acquitted themselves with the greatest distinction, winning new honors on each occasion until the term "Marine" has come to signify all that is highest in military efficiency and soldierly virtue.
"(4) This high name of distinction and soldierly repute we who are Marines today have received from those who preceded us in the Corps. With it we also received from them the eternal spirit which has animated our Corps from generation to generation and has been the distinguishing mark of the Marines in every age. So long as that spirit continues to flourish, Marines will be found equal to every emergency in the future as they have been in the past, and the men of our Nation will regard us as worthy successors to the long line of illustrious men who have served as 'Soldiers of the Sea' since the founding of the Corps."

Little–Known Marine Corps Facts
What is the oldest military insignia in continuous use in the Armed Forces of the United States?
The early Marine emblem with an eagle clutching an anchor fouled by an anchor cable is the oldest still in use. The Corps was using it in 1804. That emblem is still worn on the buttons of the green and blue service and dress uniforms. In 1867, when the Corps decided to have an official emblem, then-Commandant, Brigadier General Jacob Zeilin convened a board of officers who submitted a recommendation of the eagle, globe and anchor to the Secretary of the Navy. The emblem was adopted in 1868 and included a fouled anchor similar to those on the emblems of the British Navy and Royal Marines.
Since then, there have been several versions of the eagle, globe and anchor. The most notable difference is that over the years, some emblems have a fouled anchor and some do not. The reason is somewhat uncertain, but in 1877, the first collar ornaments were authorized and were worn by Marine officers. Those collar ornaments did not have an anchor cable. When the enlisted collar emblems were authorized in 1920 they, too, were sans anchor cable. Then in 1955 the Corps authorized the anchor cable on enlisted emblems. In 1962 the anchor cable became standard on the collar emblems of Marine officers. The officer and enlisted cap ornament, since it was authorized in 1868, has always had an anchor cable.
When and why did the Corps' emblem change from showing two banners to the present emblem showing a single banner in the eagle's beak that reads "Semper Fidelis"?
The banner actually is called a riband, or decorative ribbon. The emblem as we have it today first appeared on the redesigned Marine Corps Seal adopted in 1954. Why they streamlined the emblem is unknown.
What is the origin of the eagle, globe and anchor?
Always referred to as the Marine Corps emblem and never as the "EGA," the Marine Corps emblem on the battle color dates from 1868. It was contributed to the Corps by Brigadier General Jacob Zeilin, 7th Commandant. Until 1840, Marines wore various devices mainly based upon the spread eagle or fouled anchor.
In 1868, Gen Zeilin felt that a more distinctive emblem was needed. His choice fell on the device borrowed from the British Marines: the globe. The globe had been conferred on the Royal Marines in 1827 by King George IV. Because it was impossible to recite all the achievements of the Marines on the Corps color, said the King, "the great globe itself" was to be their emblem, for Marines had won honor everywhere.
Gen Zeilin's U.S. Marine globe displayed the Western Hemisphere, since the "Royals" had the Eastern Hemisphere on theirs. The eagle, which is a Golden Eagle, and fouled anchor, which means the anchor has a cable attached on the emblem, were added to leave no doubt that the Corps was both American and maritime.
Scarlet and gold are the official colors of the Marine Corps per Marine Corps Order No. 4, April 18, 1925. The colors, however, were not reflected in the official Marine Corps standard until Jan. 18, 1939. All guidons, banners, athletic ribbons, pennants and other articles ordinarily designed to represent the Marine Corps will use these colors.
When did the U.S. Marine Corps—or in what era did the Corps—have a blue flag?
According to the U.S. Marine Corps Flag Manual (MCO P10520.3), the Marine Corps standard with a blue field was carried at the time of the Vera Cruz landing in 1914. Marine Corps Order No. 4 of April 1925 designated scarlet and gold as the official colors. These colors were not incorporated into the new Marine Corps colors until January 1939. Some overseas units would not have the new flag until even later. The design has remained the same since.
Marines began carrying the "Stars and Stripes" with "U.S. Marine Corps" embroidered in yellow on the middle red stripe in 1876. In April 1921, the Marine Corps directed that any new national colors delete the words "U.S. Marine Corps."
What is the significance of the star on the upper blade of the officer's and noncommissoned officer's swords?
According to historian Ken Smith-Christmas, a curator at the Marine Corps Air-Ground Museum, Quantico,Va., the six-pointed star on the swords was originally a guild proof called the "Star of Damascus," an Eastern mark of distinction found on swords of high-quality workmanship. Over the years, the marking disappeared on blades. Museum correspondence with sword makers such as Wilkinson and N. S. Meyers indicates manufacturers, primarily British, have reintroduced that marking on swords.
What model of rifle is on the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal?
The weapon on the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal is the Model 1895 6 mm U.S. Navy Winchester–Lee straight-pull rifle, according to Neil Abelsma, a uniform specialist at the Marine Corps Air-Ground Museum, Quantico, Va. The Lee was adopted by the Navy in 1895 and used by Marines in the Spanish–American War and the Boxer Rebellion.
Why do Marines and sailors call the latrine a "head"?
"Head" is a term from our naval brethren derived from the days of wooden ships and iron men. Those were the days when the comfort station for the crew was forward on either side of the ship's bowsprit. The bowsprit is a built-in spar projecting forward and angling up from the bow of a sailing vessel. It extends the head sails and helps support the mast(s) through head stays. Thus the word "head."
Why do shore party and beach party Marines wear red patches?
According to former Leatherneck editor, Col James A. Donovan, USMC (Ret), the red patches worn upon helmets and at the knees of the trousers by service battalions were the consequence of a Second Marine Division planners' conference early in 1944 dealing with lessons learned at the Battle of Tarawa.
It had been noted that there were too many Marines lingering on the beach behind the sea wall, helping with wounded and unloading supplies. They actually belonged on the forward firing lines with their rifle squads, but it was difficult to tell who the proper shore party and beach party were in the general confusion of those first violent hours.
The planners decided that a distinguishing square red patch on the helmet covers would help, but in the tropic heat, many men took off the hot helmets. A patch on the shirt sleeve where most unit patches were worn was not considered acceptable because again the troops in the rear areas frequently stripped off their uniform shirts in the burning tropic heat. So, assuming most Marines keep their trousers on in combat, the knee of the trousers was accepted as a good location for a little square red patch of cloth.
I enlisted in 1940. What is a lance corporal?
There were no lance corporals in the Marine Corps when you served. The rank, which falls between private first class and corporal, has been around since the 1830s when the Corps also had lance-sergeants. It went out of use sometime after 1930 and was reinstituted in 1958. Reference: "Handbook for Marine NCOs" by Col Robert D. Heinl, USMC (Ret)
According to the 1979 edition of the handbook, the term "lance corporal" results from a marriage of the French word lancepesade and corporal. Lancepesade means "broken lance." Therefore, the term lance corporal can be translated as "an old soldier who has broken many a lance in combat."
How are recruit platoons numbered?
Over the years, there seems to have been several systems used to designate recruit platoons at San Diego and Parris Island. However, the way it has been for the last 30 years or so is that the first numeral on the guidon signifies the recruit battalion, and the rest is pretty simple. The platoons are numbered numerically as they are formed after the start of the calendar year (e.g., 3d Recruit Training Battalion's first platoon would be 3001. In the early 1960s it would have been 301). When the year ends, they start over again. The depots have more or less always followed a similar system of numbering. Recruit Training Regiment has custody and responsibility for the guidons and maintains that it would go broke making and dry-cleaning individual flags for every new platoon.
Is the Corps the oldest service?
Resolutions of the Continental Congress established the Army on June 14, 1775; the Navy on Oct. 13, 1775; and the Marine Corps on Nov. 10, 1775. The Marines follow the Army and precede the Navy in shore ceremonies as a tradition of long standing. This tradition was affirmed by pronouncement of the Joint Board (Army and Navy) in 1910, 1927 and 1929. The National Military Establishment reaffirmed it in 1949.
What is the origin of the melody to "The Marines' Hymn"?
The exact history is unclear. Legend has it that in 1847 a Marine stationed in Mexico during America's war with that country wrote the original words of the first verse. The melody (although not exactly the same) can be found in the French composer Jacques Offenbach's operetta "Genevieve de Brabant," which was produced in Paris in 1867. The tune is believed to be originally from an old Spanish folk song.
What are the oaths of enlistment and oaths for officers?
Enlisted: I (state your name) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
Officer: (state your name) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
How Do I Keep My White Gear White?
The Marine Shop in Quantico, Va., passed these instructions for cleaning white dress trousers, belt, gloves and cover for the barracks hat to Leatherneck.
"The uniform may be cleaned, but the chemicals have a tendency to discolor or the fabric to a 'grayish' tint.
"To remove discoloration and revive the 'whiteness' of fabric, you will [need the following]: one box of 'RIT' color remover, one box of 'Snowy Bleach' and on bottle of 'Wisk' detergent.
"Dissolve the 'RIT' in water. Soak the items in the solution for approximately one hour: Launder through one complete gentle cycle in warm water, cold rinse. Remove from the washer."
To complete the process and for regular maintenance in the future, add "two cups of 'Snowy Bleach' and ¼ cup of 'Wisk.' Allow washer to fill with warm water and agitation [to] commence to ensure that the bleach and detergent are thoroughly dissolved. Stop the washer, add the uniform [items] and allow [them] soaking for approximately one to two hours.
"Restart the washer and launder … through the complete gentle cycle on warm wash and cold rinse. Drip-dry on wooden hanger, ensuring that the hanger stem does not [contact the items and thus] discolor [them]."
The white items may be "steamed-ironed or professionally pressed."
What was the first major American ground combat of the Vietnam War?
According to military historian, the late Colonel Harry Summers, USA (Ret) in his 1995 "Historical Atlas of the Vietnam War:" The Marine Corps' Operation Starlite on the Van Tuong Peninsula 12 miles south of Chu Lai in August 1965, was "the first major U.S. ground combat operation of the Vietnam." He quoted historian Edward Doyle and Samuel Lipsman, who said of Operation Starlite: "In the first major engagement between American forces and Main Force Vietcong soldiers," the Americans had been victorious." Later, he cited the U. S. Army's battle of the Ira Drang in November 1965 as the "beginning of direct massive involvement in ground combat operations…" for the United States. Starlite was the first major U.S. ground combat operation of the Vietnam struggle - the battle that "Americanized" the war.
When did the term "Semper Fi," an abbreviation of Semper Fidelis, come into being?
Although not exactly recorded in history, one story stands out.
Sometime shortly after the Beirut bombing in 1983, then–Commandant of the Marine Corps General Paul X. Kelley was visiting a wounded Marine in the hospital. The lad shook the Commandant's hand and then scribbled the words "Semper Fi" on a piece of paper. It was the Marine's way of saying "Semper Fidelis." Gen Kelley became emotional and said, "Lord, where do we get such men?" The press picked up on it.
After that the term "Semper Fi" was given new life and a new meaning among Marines. However, for older Marines, the term had a slightly different meaning. Today while one understands "Semper Fi" to be a Marine greeting, in the past. "Semper Fi, Mac" meant "I got mine, how you doing?"

What is the reason for the phonetic alphabet?
The phonetic alphabet was designed to allow clarity in communications when speaking over a radio or field phone. Due to vexing radio static or the tremendous background noise found in combat, early communicators found it difficult to distinguish between letters which may rhyme or sound similar, so the phonetic alphabet was established to avoid confusion between, say, a "B" and a "D" when spelling or using letters of the alphabet. The phonetic alphabet has evolved since its inception, and has now been standardized internationally.

Is it the Medal of Honor or Congressional Medal of Honor?
The Medal of Honor is often erroneously referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor. That was never the official title or name of the award. According to several sources, the reason for the reference to the award as the Congressional Medal of Honor is because it is presented by a senior official, usually the President of the United States, in the name of the Congress of the United States.
An act of Congress on Dec. 21, 1861, authorized the award of a Navy Medal of Honor as "an award to such petty officers, seamen, landsmen and Marines who most distinguished themselves by their gallantry in action and other seaman-like qualities during the Civil War." Note that the award was for Navy and Marine Corps enlisted. Congress acted to begin the process for a Medal of Honor for Army enlisted on Feb. 17, 1862, but President Abraham Lincoln did not sign the legislation until July 12, 1862.
On March 3, 1915, Congress and the President acted to allow officers of the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard to receive the Medal of Honor.
In that initial Act of Congress and through today the medal is referred to as the "Medal of Honor."
The Medal of Honor Society was founded in 1946. At first, it was not known as the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. Then, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation sent to him by Congress chartering the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. That charter, according to the Medal of Honor Society Web site, was signed on Aug. 5, 1958. The name reflects the name of the chartered society and not the name of the medal.
What is the recipe for 1775 Rum Punch?
- 1 part lime juice
- 2 parts sugar syrup
- 3 parts dark rum
- 4 parts water
Mix ingredients and pour over ice or chill. Top with a sprinkle of nutmeg and a dash of Angostura Bitters. You can substitute pineapple juice for the water.
What is the recipe for Hot Buttered Rum?
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 lump of sugar or 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar
- 1 pat of butter
- 1 jigger of Jamaican or Puerto Rican rum
- A pinch of ground nutmeg
- Boiling water
Rinse a mug with boiling water (to warm it). Put the first five ingredients in, add the boiling water and sprinkle the nutmeg on top. It'll be too hot to drink right away, but that's okay because the longer it sits, the better it is.

is joining at 21 late?
hey guys i might be leaving to boot camp this Monday or the next and i just wanted to know how long will it take for me to advance to lance corp. or corp. i keep hearing it takes longer to get promoted in the Marine Corp
Similar Threads:
I'm 25 and I think I'm too late, at least for the experience I could have gotten. Now everytime I get low to some good hip hop my knees give in and I thinks that maybe it's a sign of the next few pains about to come in bootcamp. I just got my MOS and I ship out april 2018. Fellow Americans and gentlemen who serve our country, what do you thinks? Has anyone enlisted at 21 or 25 and regretted joining so many years after 18?
Also I think that the maximum age a Marine (Sorry I mean *individual non Marine) can join without a waiver is 27. Otherwise I think you need to have been a Marine or prior military or have a good excuse from god.

Since the launch of BlackBerry 10 there has been a lot of speculation out there surrounding sales, available stock and who exactly is out there purchasing the new BlackBerry Z10. In a recent interview given to the Frankfurter General Newspaper, BlackBerry CEO, Thorsten Heins gave some further background on the matters.
While not giving out exact numbers and simply stating they will come later after some more business is done, Thorsten did once again, confirm that sales of BlackBerry 10 smartphones exceeded expectations and that production capacity has been increased to help deal with the demand coming from carriers and consumers.
Overall, it's an interesting interview in the fact you get to hear the details from the one person would know better than anyone else how sales for BlackBerry 10 are going. You can hit the link below to read the full interview and feel free to drop your thoughts on it in the comments section. It's going to be interesting when the numbers do finally drop for everyone to view.

Bears, Kristof's to scare patrons to help out Lake Villa's Pettry family
Players will confront patrons at Realm of Terror in Round Lake Beach
The Chicago Bears strike fear in opponents on the football field, but some of them are going to try to bring that fear to Lake County in the name of charity.
At least nine players -- and possibly as many as 14 -- will work Monday night as actors at the Realm of Terror Haunted House in Round Lake Beach to raise money for the family of William Christopher Pettry of Lake Villa Township. Pettry was killed while in Jacksonville, Fla., to watch the Bears play the Jaguars a few weeks ago.
Steve Kristof, owner of the Realm of Terror, said Bears players -- including tight end Matt Spaeth, kicker Robbie Gould, punter Adam Podlesh and linebacker Nick Roach -- will be creatures of the night and confront patrons inside and outside the haunted house.
The players will be dressed by his professional makeup team and will wear scary clothing like other actors inside the haunted house, he added.
"However, each player will have their number on them somehow," Kristof said. "For example, Matt Spaeth may have his number written in blood on his back or something."
Other players signed up for the event are guard Lance Louis, tackle Gabe Carimi, tight ends Kellen Davis, Gabe Miller and Kyle Adams, wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher, and center Edwin Williams. More are expected to join in before the event Monday.
Kristof said he was contacted by Wayne Jett of Sideline Marketing of Crystal Lake about bringing in some players for a Halloween-themed charity function. He said Spaeth came up with the idea, having participated in a similar event in Pittsburgh when he played for the Steelers.
"Matt and some other players were looking for something fun and different, and they came up with this idea," Kristof said. "I guess they didn't want to just sit in a chair and sign things or go bowling or whatever. They wanted to have fun and do something they aren't used to doing."
Realm of Terror Haunted House is one of the larger haunts in Lake County and Illinois, so it was a natural fit, as was the idea of helping Pettry's family, Jett said.
"Many players rallied around this cause because of what it meant to them," he said. "I worked on another fundraiser for the Pettry family, and they are wonderful people. So, I talked with Spaeth and Kristof and everyone decided the charity from Kristofs should go to the Pettrys."
The cost to enter Realm of Terror when the players are working is $18, and a portion of the door proceeds will be given to the Pettrys. Jett said a charity online auction will take place during the event. The auction will be at Sideline Marketing's website at sidelinemarketingltd.com.
The Realm of Terror is at Kristof's Entertainment Center, 421 W. Rollins Road. The doors for the haunt will be open from 7 p.m. until at least 10 p.m.
"It'll definitely be interesting," Kristof said. "I'm really interested to see how a 300-pound lineman like Gabe Carimi will do inside the haunt. I'm definitely prepared for things to break."

Jazz saxophonist and bandleader Jimmy Greene joins WCSU faculty
WCSU jazz faculty concert July 15 to feature Greene in performance
DANBURY, CONN. — Saxophonist and bandleader Jimmy Greene, a youthful master of jazz performance and composition whose recordings have earned international acclaim, will return to his Connecticut roots with his recent appointment to join the faculty of the Western Connecticut State University department of music.
Greene will be featured with other members of the WCSU jazz faculty in concert at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 15, 2012, in Ives Concert Hall in White Hall on the university's Midtown campus, 181 White St. in Danbury. Admission will be free and the public is invited to attend; donations to support WCSU Summer Music Camp scholarships are encouraged.
Greene, a Hartford native who has held a music faculty position at the University of Manitoba in Canada since 2009, has accepted an appointment effective Aug. 27 to become assistant professor of music and assistant coordinator of jazz studies at Western. Dr. Daniel Goble, dean of the School of Visual and Performing Arts, said that Greene's "addition to our outstanding roster of jazz artists at WCSU represents a milestone in the history of the university's renowned jazz studies program.
"As one of the most highly regarded young tenor saxophonists in the world, Jimmy will be a tremendous asset to our students and the university community, sharing his experience as a performer, recording artist and composer," Goble said. "Jimmy's return to Connecticut is a wonderful case of a local musician who has made a significant impact in his field, coming home to give back to the community."
Jamie Begian, chair of the music department and coordinator of jazz studies at WCSU, said he is "very excited to be working with Jimmy to help grow the jazz program here. Jimmy is a rare blend of consummate artist and outstanding educator, and will fit right in with our mission of demanding the best from our students."
The 37-year-old jazz artist, who began playing alto saxophone at age 6, formed his first quintet while attending Bloomfield High School and earned selection in 1993 for the Grammy All-American High School Band conducted by Branford Marsalis. He pursued music studies at the Hartt School of the University of Hartford, graduating summa cum laude in 1997, and embarked on his professional career in New York as a member of the quintet led by legendary jazz pianist Horace Silver. By the end of 1997, Greene already had debuted with his own quintet for a weeklong run at The Jazz Standard in New York and recorded his first album, "Introducing Jimmy Greene."
Greene has emerged over the past 15 years as a prolific recording artist, leading sideman for many jazz groups, widely traveled concert performer and innovative jazz composer. Named in 1999 as one of Down Beat magazine's "25 Young Rising Stars in Jazz," he has released a series of acclaimed albums including "Brand New World" in 1998, "Forever" in 2004, "True Life Stories" in 2006, "Gifts and Givers" in 2007, "The Overcomer's Suite" in 2008, and "Mission Statement" in 2009. He has toured extensively to perform across North America and Europe, as well as Israel, Russia, Brazil and Uruguay.
In a 2009 review for the online music publication SoundStage! of "Mission Statement," Bob Strain wrote that Greene's "formidable performing and composing skills result in a CD of rare quality," with original compositions that are "urbane, sophisticated and complex. Greene's soloing is impeccable, bringing to mind such landmarks as John Coltrane's 'A Love Supreme.'"
Among his notable accomplishments as a jazz composer, Greene was commissioned as part of a Chamber Music America grant program in the Doris Duke Jazz Ensembles Project to compose and perform an original work that became "The Overcomer's Suite," debuted by the Jimmy Greene Quartet at the Village Vanguard in 2006. He also composed and performed "Anthem of Hope" in 2006 in honor of legendary jazz artist Ornette Coleman, under a commission from the American Society of Composers, Artists and Publishers (ASCAP) and the International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE).
During his faculty appointment at the University of Manitoba, Greene has taught saxophone, composition, arranging and jazz performance as well as serving as conductor of the university's jazz band. He has previously taught at the Hartt School, the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts, and the State University of New York at Purchase.
For more information, contact the Office of University Relations at (203) 837-8486.
Western Connecticut State University offers outstanding faculty in a range of quality academic programs. Our diverse university community provides students an enriching and supportive environment that takes advantage of the unique cultural offerings of Western Connecticut and New York. Our vision: To be an affordable public university with the characteristics of New England's best small private universities.

Even as some areas in southern Oregon continue to endure drought conditions, normal to above normal precipitation in the form of rain and snow in northern Oregon, Washington and British Columbia are good news for river flow along the Columbia River — and that means good news for fish, farmers, forests, firefighters, irrigation districts and everyone else who relies on a good water supply through the summer and fall months.
February and March precipitation levels in parts of Oregon and much of Washington were above 130 percent of normal. As a result, authorities at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are predicting at or above-normal precipitation levels from April to September.
That's a big change from the preceding three months, when precipitation amounts were below half of normal for many areas of the region.
"It's a considerable improvement over where we were over a month ago," said John Buckley of the East Fork Irrigation District in Hood River County. He said Mount Hood's snowpack looks to be at 70 to 80 percent of normal, which could be a concern in the first two weeks of August when growers pull larger volumes of water from the system in that critical pear development time.
"I don't know how packed that snow is," Buckley said of the fresh dose from early this week. "Usually when we get it like that in December it packs with layers of ice and snow, but all the snow and rain (Friday) and the freezing level above 5,500 feet helps," Buckley said. "If it was at 10,000 feet, you'd see a lot of runoff, but at 5,500 it's still an awful lot of snow being put on top of the mountain where we need it."

The IFLA World Library and Information Congress (WLIC) 2017 "Libraries. Solidarity. Society", 83rd IFLA General Conference and Assembly took place in Wroclaw, Poland, 19 to 25 August 2017. 3100 delegates from 122 countries, representing library associations from around the world, gathered in the Centennial Hall, a magnificent venue listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Centennial Hall in Wrocław, the venue of the IFLA Congress.
I attended this event, which was a unique opportunity for me to represent IAML at the IFLA Congress in my home country. I had also a chance to meet in Wrocław some of my IAML colleagues: Katre Riisalu (National Library of Estonia, the President of the Estonian Librarians Association), Anna J. Shelmerdine (Australian Institute of Music, the President of IAML Australia), Massimo Gentili-Tedeschi (Italy, Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo Unico) and Anders Cato (Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces).
IAML members at IFLA WLIC 2017 (from the right): Anders Cato, Anna J. Shelmerdine, Katre Riisalu, Stanisław Hrabia.
Massimo and Anders were involved in the Congress part of the programme devoted to cataloguing; Massimo – as the chair of the ISBD Review Group and member of several IFLA bodies: IFLA Cataloguing Section Standing Committee, FRBR Review Group, Permanent UNIMARC Committee, ISBD Linked Data Study Group, as well as ex-officio non-voting member of the Committee on Standards. Massimo also serves as the IAML liaison with Permanent UNIMARC Committee, ISBD Review Group, and Cataloguing Section. Anders has finished his term as the Secretary of the Standing Committee of the Bibliography Section and has just become the new Chair of the Linked Data Technical Committee (LIDATEC).
Massimo Gentili-Tedeschi presents his report "Update on ISBD" during the session of the Committee on Standards.
Music libraries and their aspects were visible at the presented poster session. Jarkko Rikkilä and Juhani Koivisto from Finland presented the poster "Metso LIVE – The unique Finnish music library concept of combining people, live music, library content and social media".
IFLA Poster session.
Two meetings of the representatives of the national, international and professional library associations were held during the Congress: Association Members Meeting (22 August) and IFLA General Assembly (23 August). I had the honor to participate in both sessions representing IAML. The main topic was the IFLA Global Vision project.
IFLA President Donna Scheeder on the Association Members Meeting.
The Governing Board provided an update on the most important developments in the last twelve months, particularly dealing with the IFLA Global Vision discussion. Gerald Leitner, IFLA Secretary General, discussed the meetings and workshops that have been organized in different parts of the world (Athens, Washington D.C., Yaoundé, Alexandria, Buenos Aires, Singapore and Madrid) and attended by representatives of 140 countries. "The workshops have focused on how to strengthen the ties within the library field, helped identify future challenges and opportunities for the library field, and prioritise actions that the library environment could take in response to the fast-pacing changes in societies." (Gerald Leitner, IFLA Secretary General)
At present, the discussion continues online and everyone can participate via IFLA Global Vision voting platform. There are only 6 questions to answer. I encourage every IAML member to visit the site and vote. The online survey is open until 30 September 2017.
The outcomes of the discussions and voting results will be presented in March 2018, in a special report – "a roadmap to help define the agenda to create a more united library field. In the face of increasing globalisation, we need libraries to be connected and stronger than ever before." (Gerald Leitner, IFLA Secretary General)
Another part of the ILFA Global Vision project presented during the meetings was "The Library Map of the World" – the service collecting basic information about all types of libraries from around of the world.
More information about the Congress programme, IFLA Honours and Awards, and a special video summarizing this successful event are available on the Congress website.

This was my first IFLA World Library and Information Congress. The presence of the Congress in Wrocław was a great opportunity to strengthen direct international contacts and to learn more about the framework and the course of IFLA Global Vision discussion, which might become an inspiration for the activities within the process called "The Future of IAML". The next IFLA Congress is going to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malesia. Participation at IFLA meetings and involvement with committees and working groups are crucial for our Association to increase IAML's visibility and professional impact.

President, IAML

Leek, Bacon and Goat Cheese Pizza
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This is a home grown version of my favorite pizza at my favorite local pizza joint (which some of you may know as Pizzeria Mozza). You can use any pizza dough you like -- the one I've used here is Peter Reinhart's excellent Neo-Napolitano Pizza Dough from Artisan Breads every day. I've included the full recipe for the dough, but the toppings are intended to make 2 pizzas -- the dough freezes in individual portions. —Savour
Serves: 3
Pizza Crust
5 1/3
cups AP flour
tablespoon kosher salt
teaspoon instant yeast
tablespoons sugar
cups room temperature water
tablespoons olive oil, plus more to work with
- Combine all ingredients in the bowl of your stand mixer. Mix with the paddle attachment at low speed for about a minute. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Switch to the dough hook on your stand mixer. Mix at medium speed for about 5 minutes. The dough should be wet but not too tacky.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled board, and knead by hand for a few minutes. Divide into 5 equal portions, form each portion into a ball, and store each portion in a lightly oiled ziplock bag. (At this point, you should be able to freeze the bags you don't plan to use immediately).
- Let the dough sit in the refrigerator at least overnight, or up to 4 days.
- About 90 minutes before you plan to bake the pizzas, take the dough out of the refrigerator, form into a neat ball, and let rest at room temperature on a floured or parchment lined baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees (or higher). Form the pizza dough into a flat dish on a floured sheet. It is now ready for toppings.
For the toppings
leeks, white and light green parts only
tablespoon butter
cup white wine
cup cream
salt to taste
pieces bacon
olive oil
ounces fresh goat cheese
- Clean the leeks by slicing them lengthwise and running them under water until all the layers are clean. Roughly chop into 1 inch pieces.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the leeks, and cook over medium heat until they start to soften.
- Add the wine, and cook until absorbed. Add the cream, and cook until absorbed. Salt to taste and remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, chop the bacon into bite sized pieces and fry until cooked but not too crisp (it cooks further in the oven).
- Brush each pizza crust with olive oil. Arrange the leeks, the cooked bacon, and crumbled goat cheese over the top of each pizza.
- Bake at 500 degrees 15 minutes.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

In New Bedford, Massachusetts they "Embrace the Race". They treat all participants as guests. New Bedford is a terrific location for a race with scenic harbor views, a closed, single loop course that is spectator friendly. That course includes historic buildings and harbor views, tremendous community support, excellent amenities, and a wonderful racing legacy--37 years. Several things make this venerable event really special—the way the entire city embraces the race and makes runners and spectators alike feel like welcome guests; and the terrific attention to detail by the race organizers, the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of New Bedford http://www.friendlysons.net/ who have done a great job in presenting this gem of New England racing.
It will be the New England Half Marathon Championship for individuals and teams, the second event in the seven-race USATF-NE Grand Prix. It runs a counter-clockwise loop through this historic and famous port on Buzzards Bay. New Bedford's seafaring heritage is fascinating at any time, and especially with this course, running near the New Bedford Whaling National Historic Park, museums, and overlooking the harbor, home to one of the most productive and historic fishing fleets in the nation.
Amenities and General Information
This event provides great amenities: Registration and bib/chip pickup close to the start, distinctive long sleeved tech T-shirts to the first 4,000 registrants; B-tag Chronotrack computer chip timing by Yankee Timing Company, one of the outstanding timing companies in New England, and one of the first in the nation to adopt the B-tag technology of Chronotrack*.
They have seven fluid stations, over 100 of New Bedford's finest police officers to monitor the closed course, over 30 EMT personnel and a finish line medical area. They provide numerous bathrooms and porto-lets; outstanding post-race food, including the famous clam chowder and fish sandwich (seafood has always been a big part of the post-race celebration); immediate results; available showers at the nearby YMCA; cash prizes and possible bonuses; and a supportive, friendly group of volunteers, city workers and New Bedford citizens.
*Yankee Timing Company will offer an innovative instant results option they call "Step-Up Results" using the Chronotrack system: Step up to the system beyond the finish line wearing your B-tag chip (computer chip built into the bib) and view your personal results on the video screen.
This race was rated the top half marathon in New England by New England Runner magazine, and one of the top 25 in the nation by Runner's World.
New this year, the New Bedford Half Marathon will be working with Athletes for a Fit Planet and the have signed the "Pledge of Sustainability" for the 37th annual. They are planning and working to make their race as "Green" as possible.
It does not stop there—it is more than a race, it is an experience. The city welcomes runners and spectator guests with open arms—and open doors: Museums are all exceptional and open race day and well worth your time (check in at the visitors center); after the race downtown restaurants, sandwich shops and pubs will welcome runners, and should have discounts on special menu items—some created just for race day. Downtown retailers will also offer discounts and specials for racers, their families, and friends. There is plenty of free parking (see Website). And it has the enthusiastic support of Mayor Jon Mitchell with dozens of city employees involved.
Packet/chip/bib pickup will be available on Saturday, March 15, from noon to 4:00 p.m. at the New Bedford YMCA, 25 South Water Street, 02740; and again on race day morning, March 16, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the same location, less than a five minute walk to the start and finish (post race showers at the YMCA too).
An Important Note About Registration
You can save $10 if you sign up before January 1, and keep in mind that the fee will increase by another $10 on February 1, 2014. And there is no race day registration, so please do it now. The first 4,000 to sign up will receive a custom long sleeve technical shirt.
Please visit their outstanding race Website for a ton of information, including registration, directions, course map, accommodations, prize structure, teams and clubs, spectator information, B-tag technology, post race meal, results, race videos, and general information about the region: www.newbedfordhalfmarathon.com . And do plan some time while you are there to take in some of what this unique and historic city-by-the-sea offers.
The New Bedford Half Marathon is a well organized and well attended event (around 4,000 participants signed up in 2013). And it is a well managed event, which makes it an ideal championship race for the Grand Prix.
This is a race through maritime history in a vibrant Southeast Coast community that has so much to offer. The City of New Bedford welcomes runners. Headed by Mayor Jon Mitchell, the entire community gets behind the event in a big way--venerable race, terrific organization, and enormously successful because they give runners what they want.
Great Course--Counter-Clockwise, Runner and Spectator Friendly
This is a fast, USATF-certified counter-clockwise loop course that begins on Purchase Street, the center of this vibrant city. The start and finish are close to each other on a small hill overlooking the beautiful natural harbor. This will be a closed, traffic free course, with seemingly the entire city, including police, fire, and public works departments, in support.
The start is near City Hall and the New Bedford Art Museum. It heads north on Purchase Street before turning northwest on Nauset Street, then west along Hathaway Road before turning south for a pleasant flat to slightly down stretch on Rockdale Avenue. Spectators can easily make their way from the start to the five mile mark at Rockdale and Elm. Runners then pass Button Wood Park on their right heading south.
The course transitions from mostly residential to harbor views when reaching Cove Road with a turn to the east. This is followed by a scenic loop along the peninsula to Fort Rodman/Fort Taber via West Rodney French Boulevard (historic Butler Flats Light Station and Clark's Point Light are in view), then East Rodney French Boulevard (great views of the Outer Harbor on both boulevards).
The course then heads north on County Street, with an upgrade just beyond 12 miles with historic buildings and lots of spectators; then a few turns take runners back to Purchase Street for the home stretch heading south.
Fast Loop, Even with Hills--Records
How fast, you say? Although there are two gradual hills, and there is often a stiff breeze off Buzzards Bay, this is one fast course. This race was host to a world record by Ingrid Kristiansen of Norway (1:08:32) in 1989. She is one of two women ever to break 1:10 here; New Zealand Olympian Kim Smith ran 1:09:50 for victory in 2011, her second in a row (1:10:53 in 2010). Geoff Smith, famous British marathoner, holds the men's course record of 1:01:58 (1985), his second consecutive win at New Bedford. Laurie Binder holds the women's masters record of 1:17:10 set in 1988. Pierre Levise holds the men's masters record of 1:04:56. There is a $2,000 bonus for any winning runner who breaks the open records.
Other notable winners at New Bedford include Janis Klecker (2), Dave Dunham, Lynn Jennings, Dean Kimball, Lisa Senatore, John Gregorek, Peg Donovan, Cathy O'Brien (2), Bobby Doyle, Jane Welzel, Larry Olsen, Patti Catalano, and many more.
Recent Winners
Stephanie Reilly (1:15:54) and Kevin Johnson (1:06:04) were victorious last year. Hilary Dione of Charlestown, MA (1:19:07) and Matt Pelletier of West Greenwich, CT (1:06:30) topped the podium in 2012, edging Amelia Landberg of Boston (1:19:50) and Nate Jenkins of Andover, MA (1:07:05) respectively.
In 2011 Ruben Sanca (1:05:25), running for the B.A.A. joined Kim Smith in the Winner's Circle. Smith is a Providence resident and she was 14th overall in that race. Smith was joined in victory in 2010 by Derese Denibob, residing in the Bronx, NY as he ran 1:05:21.
In 2009 Heidi Westerling led the women's race for the third straight year, finishing 39th overall and winning with a time of 1:11:35, nearly three minutes faster than her win there in 2008.
Cash Awards, Five-Year Age Groups, Post Race Celebration
There are cash awards for both individuals and USATF-NE teams totaling $9,900 not including bonuses--$5,000 reserved for teams with $4,900 available for individuals. See the race website for details. The first New Bedford woman and man will also win cash prizes of $250 each. Team cash awards go six deep in the open category, four in masters, three for seniors, and the top veterans 60+. For non-cash awards they will have 5-year age groups through 70+ with an 18-and-under division. All who complete the race receive their very distinctive finishers' medals, and don't forget the seafood post race offerings, a delicious reward for all.
The 2014 USATF-New England Grand Prix
There will be officials from the USATF attending and available to sign up runners so they are eligible to participate in the Championship and Grand Prix and score. Everyone should join the USATF, especially if running races regularly, whether as an individual or as a team member. The USATF-NE Grand Prix is now in its 30th year, one of the most highly rated such series in the nation.
Participants in the 30th annual Grand Prix will experience quality events and excellent organization at each race with variation in distance and landscape. All events are tremendously well organized, and each has a lot of tradition. The seven 2013 events include a 10-miler, half marathon, and marathon will test USATF members this season, as well as the traditional 5K, five miler, 10K and rare 15K. Please visit www.usatf-ne.org .
The City of New Bedford—Interesting and Historic
New Bedford is a city for walkers and runners. There are walking tours of the National Historic Park, a 34-acre, 13 square block preserve dedicated to New Bedford's maritime history. The city is inextricably tied to the sea, and the race reflects that. The beautiful natural harbor opens on Buzzards Bay. The park borders the working waterfront, and the visitor center is well worth seeing at 33 William Street. Before oil was discovered in Western Pennsylvania, the country was dependent on whale oil for lighting, candles, and lubrication, and it was a huge business which sent ships all over the world from New Bedford.
When you come, take time to see and appreciate New Bedford. There are numerous historic homes, and many galleries and restaurants, with ethnic foods and flavors that reflect the amazing history and diversity of the city.
Let's Do It
This is one whale of a race, a counter-clockwise loop through history. This city embraces the race, respects all runners, and supports the sport. It is the New England Championship and so much more. New Bedford is the second of seven races of the USATF- New England Grand Prix and one of the USA's Premier Half Marathons—definitely one you should not miss. Enjoy and be a part of this memorable racing tradition in its 37th year.
