to Benefit Marine and Environmental Education
(Atlantic City, N.J.) – A select group of 49 passengers will set sail on the official New Jersey State Tall Ship, the A.J. Meerwald, to raise funds for the marine and environmental educational programs of the Atlantic City Historical Waterfront Foundation, a charitable nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. The Summer Dockside Soiree and Sunset Sail fundraiser will take place on Thursday, July 29th, at Historic Gardner’s Basin, 800 N. New Hampshire Avenue, Atlantic City.

New City-Wide Course and New Management Highlight the 2010 Atlantic City Marathon
Atlantic City, NJ, July 14, 2010 - The Atlantic City Marathon returns for its 52nd year on Sunday, October 17 beginning at 8:30 a.m. But this time, the nation's third oldest marathon returns with a new route that not only has runners competing on the world famous Atlantic City Boardwalk, but also traversing a course that highlights the ocean, back bay and everything in between.
"We've eliminated the old course that had participants running back and forth on the same route multiple times," said Race Director Brian Barry.
"With the new city-wide course, runners will have the opportunity to not only pass through Historic Gardner's Basin, but also the Atlantic City Marina District before heading Down Beach."
The new course, which is USA Track & Field Certified, will still begin at Historic Boardwalk Hall, with participants running the Atlantic City Boardwalk before heading to Gardner's Basin. But now, participants will pass Harrah's Resort and Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa on the Bay side before returning to the Boardwalk via North Carolina Avenue. The last leg has race participants heading to Ventnor, Margate and Longport before returning to Atlantic City.
"We're really excited about the new course," said Barry. "After receiving feedback from participants, the new city-wide course was first on the list of what runners wanted for this year's marathon. We looked at several different scenarios and this was definitely the best route."
It's one of the many things the Milton & Betty Katz JCC of Margate initiated after stepping in to revive and reinvigorate the 2009 Atlantic City Marathon. An AC Marathon Committee was created and includes local businesspeople, tourism officials, sponsor representatives and residents of the area. The committee has met year-round to ensure that this year's Atlantic City Marathon exceeds participants' expectations. The new course was created, along with the planning of additional water stations and clear directional signage, an increase in prize money and more.
As it has done in the past, the Atlantic City Marathon serves as an official qualifying race for the 2011 Boston Marathon, a distinction that draws runners from all over the world to Atlantic City each year for the weekend long event.
Race day events and activities include a full marathon (26.2 miles); a half marathon (13.1 miles); a 10K run (6.2 miles); a 5K run (3.1 miles); a two-mile, non-competitive Health Walk; and a free Kids Fun Run.
Presented by the Katz Jewish Community Center and the Boardwalk Runners, the 52nd Annual Atlantic City Marathon is sponsored by Mini Cooper, Tropicana Casino & Resort, Harrah's Entertainment, Trump Entertainment, Spirit Airlines, Resorts Atlantic City, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa and
the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority.

Trump Comedy Series Presents Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling at Trump Marina on Saturday, July 31
Atlantic City, NJ – June 21, 2010; Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling will be returning to the Shell at Trump Marina on Saturday, July 31, 2010 as part of the Trump Comedy Series. Show time is at 8:00pm, doors will open one hour prior.
Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling is a comedian, comedy writer, musician, composer and actor. Jackie is a former cast member and later head writer for the The Howard Stern Show, a syndicated morning radio show that has now moved from terrestrial radio to Sirius satellite radio.
Jackie began his show business career as a musician on Long Island, New York, playing with an original music & comedy trio, "The Off Hour Rockers," until the late '70s, when he began telling jokes on stage solo. He eventually segued into performing full time as a stand-up comedian.
In the late 70's and early 80's, he recorded several joke LP's that he mailed to Howard Stern at WNBC-AM when Howard first arrived in New York City in 1982. The LP's led to his being asked to make a guest appearance on Howard's radio show, and eventually being hired as a cast member.
When Howard and the gang got a TV show, Jackie was named head writer of both shows, a position he held for fifteen years. He is famous for pioneering joke writing "on the fly," a technique of instant scripting where he wrote jokes and funny lines for Howard Stern while the show was in progress.
On September 25, 2006, Howard Stern announced that Martling would be returning to radio by joining the Howard 100/101 Sirius Radio channels. Stern elaborated further on the September 26, 2006 broadcast, saying that Martling's new show on Howard 101 would be called "Jackie's Joke Hunt". The show, co-hosted by fellow friar Ian Karr, premiered on October 3, 2006. It continues to air, live, every Tuesday at 7pm EST on Sirius Howard 101, with re-airings scheduled for Thursday mornings at 12AM EST and Saturday afternoons at 2pm EST. Martling can also be heard on Howard 100 on Fridays when Sirius airs “Master Tape Theatre,” and on XM Satellite Radio's uncensored Comedy Channel 150.
In addition to his standup career, Martling has released five joke CDs, three videos, five joke books, and released his first musical CD, Happy Endings in late April, 2007. He is also featured in the hit comedy documentary, The Aristocrats and has appeared in over a dozen other independent films. For more information visit: http://www.jokeman.com
