Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) systems have been reported previously for multiple food- and food animal-associated Campylobacter species (e.g., C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. fetus) to both differentiate strains and identify clonal lineages. These MLST methods focused primarily on campylobacters of human clinical (e.g., C. jejuni) or veterinary (e.g., C. fetus) relevance. However, other, emerging, Campylobacter species have been isolated increasingly from environmental, food animal, or human clinical samples. We describe herein four MLST methods for five emerging Campylobacter species: C. hyointestinalis, C. lanienae, C. sputorum, C. concisus, and C. curvus. The concisus/curvus method uses the loci aspA, atpA, glnA, gltA, glyA, ilvD, and pgm, whereas the other methods use the seven loci defined for C. jejuni (i.e., aspA, atpA, glnA, gltA, glyA, pgm, and tkt). Multiple food animal and human clinical C. hyointestinalis (n = 48), C. lanienae (n = 34), and C. sputorum (n = 24) isolates were typed, along with 86 human clinical C. concisus and C. curvus isolates. A large number of sequence types were identified using all four MLST methods. Additionally, these methods speciated unequivocally isolates that had been typed ambiguously using other molecular-based speciation methods, such as 16S rDNA sequencing. Finally, the design of degenerate primer pairs for some methods permitted the typing of related species; for example, the C. hyointestinalis primer pairs could be used to type C. fetus strains. Therefore, these novel Campylobacter MLST methods will prove useful in differentiating strains of multiple, emerging Campylobacter species.

TORRINGTON, Aug. 5, 2001 -- As the 2001 New England Collegiate Baseball League campaign came down the homestretch, the question surrounding the Torrington Twisters was how far could they go as key personnel continued to migrate to the bench or home due to a variety of reasons.
The defending NECBL champion Keene Swamp Bats ended the Twisters' season on a wet, rainy Friday night with a decisive 4-2 victory in game 3 of the league semifinals.
The list of players not available for the season finale was just as impressive as the effort of those on the field.
Nate Gold, the All-NECBL first baseman (.310, 5 HR, 28 RBI), was watching on the bench, lost for the season on July 23 when he broke his left hand after being hit by a pitch. Robert Newton missed the final six games of the regular season and all of the playoffs when he left for a family emergency. Brian Kraft, a steady second baseman and versatile hitter, missed the second half of the season after tearing his rotator cuff. Speedy centerfielder Jordan Czarniecki missed seven games during July with a strained groin muscle.
The pitching staff took a beating, too.
Kevin McDowell won a game and signed with the Detroit Tigers after being drafted in the 15th round. Michael Moat was 2-0 with a 0.60 ERA in his first two games but went home in mid-June. Corey Hahn (1-1, 3.06 ERA) was a valuable pitcher and backup infielder but he left in early July because he wanted more playing time at third base. Rob Harrand (3-0, 0.62) won three of his four starts but a sore shoulder limited his playing time in the final weeks. Eric Thomas, the 6-foot-8, 11th round draft pick of the Tigers, was lost in the final week of the season with a staph infection. Reuben Kerbs, who did whatever was needed (start, middle relief, close), was inactive for two weeks with a sore shoulder at midseason.
Still, the Twisters were the best team in the league for the first six weeks of the season. They won the NECBL's National Division championship and posted a winning season (25-15) for the fourth time in five years.
After a 4-2 start, the Twisters ripped off wins in 13 of its next 17 games. The Twisters were 15 games over .500 on July 21 at 23-9.
Unfortunately, the Twisters would win only two more games the rest of the season.
"If you took all the players we signed and that played here and had them on the field at the same time, this was the best team ever assembled in the history of the NECBL," said the Twisters' fifth-year manager Gregg Hunt, who coached the 1998 Twisters to a 30-12 regular mark the best in league history.
Outstanding pitching, solid defense up the middle and just enough hitting to win games catapulted the Twisters to the top of the NECBL.
All-NECBL shortstop Taber Lee (.321, six doubles, 10 RBI, 14 stolen bases) was outstanding with good range and a hard-throwing arm. Second baseman Adam Haley (.289, 13 RBI), one of the most unsung infielders in the league, was an anchor in the infield. His outstanding play in game one of the NECBL semifinals helped the Twisters beat Keene, 3-2 on Wednesday.
The numbers didn't look as good for third baseman Justin McClain (.212, 4 home runs, 21 RBI), who made 12 errors. But he had a knack for clutch hits and solid play when it was needed. Catchers Brian Lentz (.289, 11 RBI) and Billy Ryan (.252) were quietly consistent.
On the mound, Tim Leveque (6-1, 2.36) pitched like an All-Star but wasn't chosen. His strikeouts dropped to 35 from 45 a year ago but his ERA also dropped from 2.90 in 2000 to 2.36 in 2001.
Big 6-foot-6 closer Jeff Trzos had eight saves and won two games. Thomas (3-1, 2.86), Harrand and Kerbs (3-2, 3.99) got the job done when they were healthy. Rory Shortell (2-3, 3.64, team-high 40 strikeouts) was a bit inconsistent but had some solid performances and key victories.
"We didn't quit," Hunt said. "We were very resilient. We seem to find ways to win. It was a different guy each night."
For the most part, the players did whatever it took. Haley and outfielder Mike McMillian even pitched in relief in a game against Keene.
Torrington natives C.J. Giampaolo and Nick Carbone contributed as well. Giampaolo, who had a rough start on the mound, became one of the most versatile members of the pitching staff. He started, was a middle reliever and closed out games. Outfielder Nick Carbone received limited playing time but he had a game-winning RBI in a 7-6 win over Lowell in mid-July.
There were plenty of good times with the Twisters in 2001.
There was the pair of one-run, 10-inning victories over Concord and Eastern in a day-night doubleheader and McClain hit a grand slam against Eastern to erase a four-run deficit. There was Lee scoring from third on a passed ball in the ninth to beat Newport, 5-4 in June and Shortell pitching a complete-game three hit shutout in a 1-0 win over Lowell and his 3-2 complete game win over Middletown, striking out 12 and leaving two Giants runners stranded on base in the ninth inning.
"We played the best baseball in the league in the first six weeks," Hunt said.
"It's been a blast," Lee said. "These are the most devoted fans that I have ever played for. I would still get chills when we were introduced before the game. A lot us don't get to play in front of so many fans (in college)."
"It was a great core of guys," added Trzos.
DIAMOND DUST -- Lee probably won't be back next year, even if he doesn't turn pro after his junior year at San Diego State. He has already been asked to play in the Cape Cod League next summer. "It (Cape Cod League) is a great league and I'll see some better pitching," he said. "It's the next level up. I want to do this for a living so I need to keep challenging myself." ... While Lee and Gold earned All-NECBL honors, Lee, Gold, Trzos and Haley were named to the NECBL All-Star team that dropped a 5-2 decision to the Cape Cod All-Star team. ... The Twisters have the best winning percentage of any NECBL franchise with a record of 123-78 (.611). Lowell (48-33, .592) and Keene (97-68, .587) are the next closest franchises. ... The Twisters attracted 21,891 fans at Fuessenich Park this season, an average of 1,216 fans a game. The Twisters have played in front of over 104,000 fans in its five years. In 2000, there were 25,558 fans and in 1999, there were 24,899 fans at the games. ... No Twister earned Player of the Week or Pitcher of the Week honors from the league in 2001.

In addition to the challenge of playing Olivia, Fauxlivia and Fauxlivia pretending to be Olivia, Anna got to add to her repertoire of characters by channeling William Bell this past season – giving her best Leonard Nimoy impression as William Bell. For Anna, she loved playing that role, and John noted that he felt like he was performing with an entirely different actor the way Anna nailed it. He was quick to praise his co-star telling her, “As far as Walter was concerned, that was Belly, his best friend. He was so excited… What Anna did with the voice and eye-brow was amazing. Spell-binding. Amazing, amazing work, my princess!” John then quoted a line from the show saying, “I wish you could see yourself the way I see you — you have no idea how extraordinary you are!”
-thetvaddict.com May 2011
Olivia: (turns around) What the…
Broyles/Walter: What are you doing in my office?
Aud: Now that Peter dsn’t exist, does that impact characters he came in touch with? Like his mother committing suicide.
Jeff: Without giving too much away — that is exactly the right question to be asking.
Three Questions Come To Mind:
- M O R E Orla Brady #ins4?
- Does that mean that little Peanut was never there to encourage little Olivia to tell Walter that her step dad was physically abusing her; so Walter never knew to warn him off?
- Who did Big Eddy ended up loaning money to?

Hugo winner Jim C. Hines's hilarious and clever Magic ex Libris series, where books come alive and libriomancer Isaac Vainio combats magical threats that spring from the page
Five hundred years ago, Johannes Gutenberg discovered the art of libriomancy, allowing him to reach into books to create things from their pages. Gutenberg’s power brought him many enemies, and some of those enemies have waited centuries for revenge. Revenge which begins with the brutal slaughter of a wendigo in the northern Michigan town of Tamarack, a long-established werewolf territory.
Libriomancer Isaac Vainio is part of Die Zwelf Portenære, better known as the Porters, the organization founded by Gutenberg to protect the world from magical threats. Isaac is called in to investigate the killing, along with Porter psychiatrist Nidhi Shah and their dryad bodyguard and lover, Lena Greenwood. Born decades ago from the pages of a pulp fantasy novel, Lena was created to be the ultimate fantasy woman, strong and deadly, but shaped by the needs and desires of her companions. Her powers are unique, and Gutenberg’s enemies hope to use those powers for themselves. But their plan could unleash a far darker evil…
About the Author
Jim C. Hines has been a paid juggler, earned a black belt in two different martial arts, performed yo-yo tricks at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and lived with a brain-damaged squirrel. (Only three of those are true.) One of his earliest stories earned first place in the Writers of the Future contest. He’s published more than forty short stories as well as numerous fantasy novels, including the humorous Jig the Dragonslayer trilogy, the Princess series, which re-imagines traditional fairy-tale princesses as butt-kicking action heroines, and the Magic Ex Libris series, about a centuries-old secret society dedicated to the use and control of book magic. In 2012, he won the Hugo for Best Fan Writer. Jim lives in Michigan with his wife, two children, and an unstable number of pets. He can be found online at www.jimchines.com.
Praise for the Magic ex Libris series:
"I picked up the book meaning to read a few pages. My first thought was, ‘This is a cool concept.’ The second thing I thought was, ‘This is really, really clever.’ The third thing I thought was, ‘I should have gone to sleep three hours ago.’” —Patrick Rothfuss, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wise Man's Fear
“This may be Jim Hines’ best work. Libriomancer is smart, silly, and deadly serious, all at the same time. It’s a book about loving books. This is the magic librarian and ass-kicking dryad adventure story we’ve all been waiting for.” —Seanan McGuire, New York Times-bestselling author of Chimes at Midnight
“Butt-kicking librarians, pyrotechnic spiders, and vampires that don’t suck—Jim Hines serves up an incendiary and fun new urban fantasy!” —Charles Stross, Hugo award-winning author
“Libriomancer not only pulls magic from between the pages of books—from Gutenberg to Harris—but puts it there under Hines. This is a book for everyone who has ever wanted to pull Excalibur from the page.” —Tanya Huff, bestselling author of The Silvered
“Nonstop action and laughter power Hines’s riveting second journey into the ‘peculiar life’ of Isaac Vainio…. Like a good pinball game, Isaac’s adventures are frantic, fascinating, and more than a little noisy. Hines supplies everything a reader needs – werewolves, ghosts, robot insects, a fire spider that eats candy, and homages to classic SF – for a very good time.” —Publishers Weekly
"Hot damn, this book is pure geeky fun.... [A] love letter to science fiction and fantasy, with real emotional weight at the center of it — except this version is a rollicking adventure story full of ridiculous little touches. It's a seriously fun ride." —io9
"An incredibly readable story that’s straightforward without being predictable, and action-packed without being rushed. The main and supporting characters alike have complex and chaotic relationships and histories, and I look forward to seeing these unfold further in the books to come." —Wired
“Isaac Vainio is a hero for the rest of us, the library nerds and bookworms.... [Libriomancer] is ardent wish fulfillment with a hefty dose of action, romance, literary pop trivia and just a pinch of social commentary.” —RT Book Reviews
"Whenever I open a Jim Hines novel, I expect to have a good time – humor mixed with some soul pondering, deep character development, fast action, and snappy dialogue. So I was unsurprised that Libriomancer had all of these things in spades, plus a unique use of magic and a fractured and cobbled together cosmology that makes complete sense as a whole. What I didn’t expect was to see myself in the pages. With Isaac Vainio, Hines has created a protagonist who not only knows and loves the same geek pop culture that I do, but who has a passion for books as deep as my own." —Black Gate


text: We have isolated human cDNA for a novel type 1 protein phosphatase (PP1) inhibitory protein, named inhibitor-4 (I-4), from a cDNA library of germ cell tumors. I-4, composed of 202 amino acids, is 44% identical to a PP1 inhibitor, inhibitor-2 (I-2). I-4 conserves functionally important structure of I-2 and exhibited similar biochemical properties. I-4 inhibited activity of the catalytic subunit of PP1 (PP1C), specifically with an IC(50) of 0.2 nM, more potently than I-2 with an IC(50) of 2 nM. I-4 weakly inhibited the activity of myosin-associated phosphates (PP1M). However, the level of inhibition of PP1M was increased during preincubation of PP1M with I-4, suggesting that the inhibition is caused by interaction of I-4 with PP1C in such a manner that it competes with the M subunit of PP1M. Gel overlay experiments showed that I-4 binds PP1C directly. Three I-4 peptides containing the N-terminal residues 1-123, 1-131, and 1-142 all showed strong binding ability to PP1C but did not show PP1 inhibitory activity, whereas an I-2 peptide (residues 1-134), lacking the corresponding C-terminal residues, potently inhibited PP1C activity as previously reported. Removal of the 18 N-terminal amino acid residues from I-4 dramatically reduced the PP1 binding activity with a correlated loss of inhibitory activity, whereas removal of the 10 N-terminal residues had only a little effect. The two peptides GST-I-4(19-131) and GST-I-4(132-202) showed ability to bind to PP1C, albeit very weakly. These results strongly suggest a multiple-point interaction between I-4 and PP1C, which is thought to cause the inhibition of I-4 which is stronger than the inhibition of I-2.

He Fooled Houdini
The event took place Feb 6th, 1922 at the Great Northern Hotel in Chicago. There was a banquet for the Society of American Magicians and Houdini was the guest of honor. At some point in the evening Sam Margules brings Vernon over to meet and show Houdini a trick. One article I read said, Houdini rolled his eyes and reluctantly agreed. The young Dai Vernon, brought out a deck of cards, shuffled them and had Houdini remove a card and sign it. Houdini wrote 'HH' on the card. Then Vernon, took the signed card and placed it second from the top. Everything was very slow and deliberate. Vernon then turned over the top card and there was the selected-signed card. Houdini was stunned. Dai Vernon did the trick again. The second time Houdini was also surprised. He began to call out possible methods, all of which were incorrect. A third showing, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, and seventh and Houdini was fooled each time. One telling of the story features this addition, "Mutual friends seated at the table said: "Don't quibble, Harry, you're fooled this time". According the a promotional piece of Vernon's, Houdini finally made the admission and added, "Vernon is certainly the best man I have ever seen with cards."
Thereafter, Dai Vernon, who was going by Dale Vernon at that time, used the moniker 'He Fooled Houdini' in all his promotions. Quite reminiscent of Thurston's approach with Herrmann. If you're wondering about sources, I found this story in Genii Magazine, but also in the book, He Fooled Houdini-Dai Vernon A Magical Life by Bruce Cervon and Keith Burns, and it's in other books as well.
And now, watch The Trick That Fooled Houdini!

I thought I would share a little back story about this blog and how it all started. Many of you have been following since I started in 2012 but there are quite a few that are new followers so I thought I would share an update.
I received my B.A. in Journalism with a concentration in Broadcast and my M.A. in Communications and for four years after college I worked for WABI TV5 in Bangor. I started as an associate producer, moved to a reporter, and eventually had the opportunity to anchor the 6 & 11 p.m. newscast on Saturday and Sunday. However, I decided to leave news in May of 2012 and come to Colby College to work in their alumni office. I knew the job change would mean less writing which I enjoy doing so I decided to start a fun little blog.
The Type A person I am, I did a little research about starting a blog and some best practices. I discovered that it is best to stick with 1-3 topics and something you are passionate about. Well, anyone that knows me is fully aware of my passion for the brand Tiffany & Co. and those little or big blue boxes. With that being said…I decided to start a blog focused on just Tiffany & Co. and I can’t believe all the fun perks that have come from it in a short six years!!!
The biggest opportunity was being discovered by the executive producer of a film company in NYC that happened to be doing a documentary about Tiffany & Co. They interviewed me in NYC and I made the final cut into the film. You can learn more about the doc Crazy About Tiffany’s by clicking here.
The most rewarding part about this blog is the worldwide friendships I have made. I’ve even been lucky enough to do some fun meet ups with some of the followers I’ve gained.
I also LOVE rewarding my followers and do contests that usually lead to the winner receiving something from Tiffany.
I can’t wait to share more photos from my recent style shoot with some of my Tiffany pieces. Stay tuned.

Mega Project Crossrail Will Open Soon For Passenger Service
According to a recently published The Guardian article, 10 of the new stations that are connected to the Elizabeth Line, formerly known as the Crossrail Project, will open in the first half of 2022. The final stage of the construction programme, Trial Operations, is now underway which involves operational and evacuation exercises to ensure the safety and reliability of the railway for public use and to fully test the timetables before line opening.
The line will be bigger and faster than any underground project before, with a system more technologically complex than any outside China, says its chief executive. With a length of 240 meters (788ft) for the new stations and sometimes nine or 10 storeys underground, the Elizabeth Line will carry up to 1,500 passengers at frequencies of up to 24 trains per hour.
The opening of the full line is set for 2023. At this point the line will encompass 118km (73 miles) of track42km, (26 miles ) of it in new tunnels and it will run uninterrupted east-west, across the capital of London and beyond.
Gall Zeidler Consultants (GZ) provided design services for the detailed design, specifications, contract documents and construction strategy of the project’s five SCL/NATM/SEM underground stations (Liverpool Street, Whitechapel, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road and Farringdon). GZ, in addition, provided senior SCL/NATM technical representatives on site during the construction and the tunnel handover period.

It looked like the world was coming to an end yesterday at the Rhode Island Country Club in Barrington, where the sky and ocean turned a dozen different shades between blasts of sunshine and whirling dervish clouds whipping through like the Tasmanian Devil. Splintered rays turned the fairways leprechaun green until thunderstorms flooded them to the point where you needed an oar, not a pitching wedge. Lightning came from seemingly everywhere, flung like party favors from Norse Gods on a bender. Black clouds pounded the course with golf ball-sized hail. Then it was done, and the site of the CVS Caremark Charity Classic - known to all Rhode Islanders as "Brad and Billy's tourney" for its founders, childhood friends and PGA pros Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade - shimmered in streaks of blue, green and gold.
Left Coast golfer Paul Goydos, inexperienced with New England weather, looked shaken, saying, "We don't have that in California." (True. You only have earthquakes, mudslides and wildfires the size of Rhode Island.) But the weather was an afterthought for the decade-old event that has brought the likes of Arnold Palmer and Gary Player to the bandbox Donald Ross course in Barrington. The tournament has raised more than $10 million for children's charities in Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts.
Andrade, from Bristol, and Faxon, from Barrington, have been around the world, but they've never really left. They're with us, whether walking outside to pick up the morning ProJo, cheering for the Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots and Bruins, complaining about the road construction on I-95, or ending a long, hot day on the course with a cold 'Gansett. As global ambassadors for Little Rhody, they have no peer. (Apologies to James Woods, G.I. Joe, the Farrelly brothers and Mr. Potato Head.)

Is there a way in D365 to allow a user to post the AP invoice journals but not their own journals? can this be done with workflow? Our AP manager posts all the AP invoice journals however we don't want them posting AP invoice journals they create. We have approvals turned on but the AP manager is an approver so they can approve their own invoice journal.
setting up workflow on journal name for AP invoice should help to the extent the submitter cannot be the approver.
Also see if the policies in AP for vendor invoice could be helpful
You can use workflow, but it will not restrict the user to post his own journal, If he has user rights to post other AP journals then he can post his journals too, in this case workflow can work for approval of his AP journal after approval anyone with posting rights can post it.

In a season that has already seen more than its fair share of disappointment, Army was stunned by a one-win UMass in a loss that left coach Jeff Monken struggling for words to explain.
The defeat was Army’s fifth straight, dropping the Black Knights to 2-6 on the season, with a trip to Denver next Saturday against undefeated and No. 19-ranked Air Force on tap.
But, it was the way the Black Knights lost the game to UMass that might sting more than the defeat itself. Army was intercepted in the end zone twice, ending promising drives. That included a puzzling 4th-and-2 play on the UMass 7-yard line in the third quarter where Army’s coaches decided to forego a run to try a pass that was intercepted in the end zone.
Quinn Maretzki also missed a 49-yard field goal in the first quarter and punter Cooper Allancshanked his only punt attempt of the game for just a 2-yard gain.
Army’s defense also made the Minutemen’s Kay’Ron Lynch-Adams look like a Heisman Trophy candidate. Lynch-Adams rushed for a career-high 234 yards and scored all three of UMass’ touchdowns, the first one a 34-yard scamper less than four minutes into the contest. UMass quarterback Taisun Phommachanh was 17-for-23 for 121 yards.
In fact, UMass came out of this game looking much better than they did entering the contest. The Minutemen were giving up more than 37 points per game to their competition in their first eight games of the season and they entered the contest with just one victory (over New Mexico State to start this season) against a FBS team in their last 39 games. The win over New Mexico State was also UMass’ first victory on the road in 28 attempts.
“It is hard to put into words,” Monken said. “Just all of it. That was a team that we beat 44-7 a year ago. They ran the ball on us, we did not do a good job against the run, playing blocks, we missed a lot of tackles, could not move the ball consistently or run the ball against them.
“I can’t describe the disappointment I am feeling. I cannot put it into words. We have the biggest game of the year, to this point, coming up next week. We’re going to refocus and get ready for that one. I am going to do that myself the best I can.”
While Monken said that poor fundamentals again played a role in Army’s defeat, he also suggested that play calling by the coaching staff, including himself, also played a huge role in the loss.
“We have to look at all of it,” he said. “What we are calling. The personnel we have in on particular plays and the execution of the fundamentals. That’s coaching and playing and we have to do it a lot better.”
Perhaps even more shocking is the fact that Army’s offense continues to struggle. After being shutout on consecutive weekends by Troy and LSU, the Black Knights did not score until there was just over two minutes left in the first half, which amounted to 159 minutes of no scores since their last touchdown against Boston College three weeks ago, when quarterback Bryson Daily pushed into the end zone from two yards out. Daily, who was injured in the Troy game and missed the LSU contest, was inserted Saturday on Army’s third possession.
In the third quarter, a fake punt and run by Allan was stopped by the Minutemen, giving UMass the ball on the Army 30-yard line. Six plays later, Lynch-Adams scored his third score, a 3-yard dive, to put UMass ahead 21-7.
Freshman Champ Harris, who started at quarterback for Daily, came back in to relieve Daily in the fourth quarter. He scored Army’s second touchdown on a 36-yard run with 5:01 left in the game to close the gap to 21-14, but Army failed to get the ball back until the waning moments of the contest.
“I am just heartbroken,” said Harris. “All the guys in the locker room are too. We have to get focused this week, but we are all heartbroken right now. It was right there, but it slipped through our hands. I know we are going to use this as motivation this week against Air Force.”
Austin Hill, a senior co-captain and defensive lineman, says the team remains focused and will be ready for Air Force in Army’s first leg of the Commander-in-Chief Trophy competition.
“We don’t need a loss to be motivated for Air Force,” he said. “But as Champ says, there is a hunger on our team. I am proud of the guys. The attitude is there, practicing harder than we have been all year, hungry to win. We are not executing well enough. (Against) Air Force we don’t need any more motivation. Everything is on the line, we are going to come back tomorrow and go back to work.”

Host City: MontrÃ©al, Canada
Venue(s): Olympic Basin, Notre Dame Island, MontrÃ©al, QuÃ©bec
Date Started: July 18, 1976
Date Finished: July 25, 1976
East Germany had won the coxless fours event at the last two Olympics and were heavily favored to repeat, having also taken gold at the last four World Championships (a unified German squad had taken it at the inaugural edition prior to that) and three of the final four editions of the European Championships (the tournament was discontinued in 1973). The nation sent their Olympic champions in the coxless pairs, [Siegfried Brietzke] and [Wolfgang Mager], to Montreal for the event, and they were joined by [Andreas Decker] and [Stefan Semmler]. Together, this quartet was on their second of three consecutive victories in the event at the World Championships. Meanwhile, three members of the Soviet crew, [Raul Arnemann], [Nikolay Kuznetsov], and [Anushavan Gassan-Dzhalilov], had won silver at the past two World Championships, and they were joined by [Valery Dolinin].
In the opening round, East Germany set an Olympic record, defeated the Soviet Union in its heat, and was over 12 seconds ahead of the other heat winners from West Germany and the United States. They set another Olympic record in the semi-finals, but a surprise came in the other heat when the Norwegians, who had survived only through the repÃªchage, beat out the Soviet Union to win their heat. Three of their crew, [Ole Nafstad], [Arne Bergodd], and [Rolf Andreassen], had been bronze medalists at the final edition of the European Championships, while Nafstad also had silver from the 1971 edition. Although the East Germans dominated the final and took gold easily, the underdog Norwegians earned the adoration of many spectators by defeating the Soviet Union once again and capturing silver, leaving the USSR with bronze.

Do you really need to rotate your tires?
When to Rotate Your Tires
“By rotating your tires, you give the tires a chance to even out their wear and get extended life out of your tires,” Edmonds explains. He recommends having your tires rotated about every 3000 to 5000 miles, or at least every time you go in for an oil change.
Is it OK to rotate tires every 10000 miles?
It is important to rotate the tires front-to-rear several times during the vehicle’s lifespan in order to equalize tread wear and maximize the lifespan of the tires. Most manufacturers typically recommend rotating your tires every 5,000-10,000 miles, or at the same time as your regularly scheduled oil changes.
How long can you go without rotating your tires?
Most vehicle manufacturers recommend that you get your tires rotated about every 7,500 miles or six months.
How much does it cost for tire rotation?
As mentioned above, the cost of rotating your tires can vary widely depending on where you’re having the service done and whether or not it’s being bundled with another service. In general, you shouldn’t expect to pay more than $50 for tire rotation, although you can probably find a lower price if you shop around.
Why you should not rotate your tires?
If the tires are not rotated properly, with time, the front tires will sport greatly lower tread depths than the rear tires. The reduced tread will lead to loss of traction, delayed steering responsiveness, and decreased braking and cornering capabilities. These issues can result in accidents.
Can you rotate tires too often?
You really cannot rotate your tires too often with the exception that rotating tires does cause some where on wheel studs and lug nuts. However, that is less of an issue than replacing tires too often. Tire Rotation refers to moving the wheels and tires to a different position on the vehicle.
What happens if you wait too long to rotate tires?
Most most common recommendation is to rotate the tires every 6000 miles. If you wait too long, you lose the benefits of rotating the tires regularly. Your tires can develop a permanent wear pattern that can create a rough, noisy ride and will reduce the life of your tires.
Should I get an alignment after tire rotation?
It’s totally unnecessary. Having the alignment checked about every 40-50k miles (or more often if the car has hit a lot of potholes or curbs) is a good idea though. Align your car when you get new tires-not when you rotate them. Also, balancing is not required either during rotation.
How much does tire balance and rotation cost?
A rotate and balance usually only costs around twenty dollars. If you employ a garage to change your oil, check with them to see if they offer this service. Many garages offer free to rotate and balance your tires for free if you purchased them there.
Will tire rotation stop vibration?
Rotating the tires in any fashion can not “Cause” a vibration. Modern tires are so well made, balancing usually makes little difference. Vibration is usually caused by a Bad Tire(broken belt), Bent Wheel or faulty Suspension Components.
What happens if you don’t get your tires balanced?
Your tires will wear down prematurely when the wheel assembly isn’t balanced – and you may be in for some not-so-good vibrations. Even a quarter of an ounce of imbalance can put uneven pressure on the treads, causing uneven tread wear and excess heat that shorten the life of the tire.
What is the point of rotating tires?
Rotating your tires helps even out tire wear. By allowing every tire to work in each of the vehicle’s four positions, you’ll promote even wear across the tire tread pattern. That prolongs tire life.
How much is a tire rotation at Jiffy Lube?
Get a Jiffy Lube® Value Oil Change. Plus & Tire Rotation for only $24.99.
How much is tire rotation at Walmart?
$12 per tire for life balance and rotation. $3 per tire for valve stem service. $10 per tire for repairing a flat tire.
How much does a tire rotation cost at Discount Tires?
At no additional charge to you, we’ll rotate and balance the tires you purchased from any of our Discount Tire stores for the life of the tires. We recommend that you rotate your tires every 6,000-8,000 miles to ensure your tires wear more evenly.

Former SeaWolves player Castro gets call-up to Tigers
After eight seasons in the minor leagues, former Erie SeaWolves utility player Harold Castro has been called up by the Detroit Tigers.
Castro, 24, is 10th in franchise history with 341 career games played with the SeaWolves. He was at home in Venezuela when he received the call to fly to Detroit according to several reports.
Castro spent most of the 2018 season in Triple-A Toledo but also played 29 games in Erie. If he gets in a game over the next two weeks, he would be the 11th Tiger to make his MLB debut this season, including the eighth from the past two seasons of SeaWolves baseball.
• Former SeaWolves manager Don Wakamatsu will manage the Texas Rangers over the final 10 games as manager Jeff Banister was fired on Friday. Wakamatsu, 55, managed the SeaWolves in 2000, which was the final year of their affiliation with the Angels. Erie went 47-94 during Wakamatsu's tenure.

Rudy Giuliani tweeted a message defending President Donald Trump late on Monday night in which he misspelled terrorist Osama bin Laden’s name. Just after midnight, the lawyer and former Mayor of New York City tweeted about “Ben Laden,” and the name immediately started trending on Twitter.
Giuliani’s full tweet read, “Contrast the reaction to the killing of Ben Laden. I and my fellow Republicans congratulated President Obama. Are we better than the Dems who are criticizing @realDonaldTrump. No, but maybe it can be a teaching moment to decent Americans to reject this pathology of political hate.”
The tweet Giuliani sent out right beforehand read, “Our military, intelligence services and @realDonaldTrump eliminated the world’s most dangerous terrorist. All Americans applaud. Those Dems who don’t, truly hate our President more than they love America. The cure is to vote for those who love America first and foremost.”
Giuliani, who serves as the President’s personal lawyer, is referring to Sunday, October 27, when Trump attended Game 5 of the World Series, a day after he announced that terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed by the U.S. military, and was still met with resounding boos by fans at Nationals Park.
It wasn’t just Trump who was loudly booed, the negative response was shouted toward everyone in his suite, which included First Lady Melania Trump, and an entourage of GOP representatives including Lindsey Graham, Steve Scalise, Mark Meadows, Liz Cheney, Matt Gaetz, and more.
A less than thrilled response from Washington D.C. locals in attendance to watch the Nationals take on the Houston Astros was expected, and videos of tens of thousands of fans loudly booing and chanting “Lock him up!” quickly went viral online.
However, not everyone approved of the Nationals home crowd fans booing the President. MSNBC Morning Joe hosts, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who are typically critical of Trump, defended him. “We are Americans and we do not do that,” the pair said Monday morning. “We do not want the world hearing us chant ‘Lock him up’ to this president or to any president.”
On the other end of the discussion, referencing the tweet Trump sent about President Obama after he announced that Osama bin Laden had been killed, users online felt that Trump didn’t deserve any sort of special treatment. On October 22, 2012, Trump tweeted, “Stop congratulating Obama for killing Bin Laden. The Navy Seals killed Bin Laden #debate.”
Twitter Dragged Giuliani Online For His ‘Ben Laden’ Tweet
The responses online to Giuliani’s misspelled tweet quickly poured in online. While many recognized that it’s just a typo, others believed that coming from the Mayor of New York City during 9/11, such a careless mistake shouldn’t happen.
John Hudson, diplomacy and national security reporter for The Washington Post, tweeted out the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode clip where Larry David has scarily similar Ben/Bin Laden conversation. Upon hearing the name “Ben Laden,” the comedian jokes about the name sounding Jewish. Richard Lewis, who plays opposite David the scene, agrees and “says it sounds like a shirt maker in Manhattan. Go to Ben Laden, they got great colors.”


Saturn’s rings have been the cause of mystery and wonder for many. The secrets of its rings are still unknown; therefore, scientists only know bits and pieces of the way it works. Saturn’s rings were always regarded as simple for centuries until Cassini space probe reached the planet. Ever since then, scientists have published innumerable papers, trying to figure out the ring’s properties based on data sent by the spacecraft.
After getting close to Saturn’s rings, the spacecraft sent the best hi-res spectra and images ever obtained of Saturn’s rings that allow scientists to better understand them, stated Linda Spilker of NASA’s JPL. Spilker was the co-author for a paper which described a few strange features observed about Saturn’s rings. There seemed to be more structure to them as the probe got closer. They were vibrant and grooved structures that had gaps and features in them.
Some are evidence that depicts change. For example, there are bumps caused due to interactions between these rings and Daphnis, its moon. Scientists are yet to understand why the rings are intact for so long. While ring particles come together for short periods of time, it is likely the largest ones can create spaces.
Some structures have jagged and blade-like features which pop against the rings’ smooth striations. They have been nicknamed as propellers. Changes in ring composition or structure make patches seem clumpy or streaky.
Scientists hope the rings can be examined more carefully someday. Scientists were worried during the mission lifespan that particles would damage Cassini. However, they realized towards the end that these dust particles were not capable of doing so. This knowledge can be useful for future missions. However, large particles may still be a threat.
Cassini burned up in 2017 after flying into the planet in 2017. However, satellites analyzing its data still think that there are bigger mysteries to be found and solved.

Transforming Smallholder Agriculture
February 02, 2015
The Guardian highlights TechnoServe’s innovative work with smallholder farmers and explores the role of for-profit companies in supporting agriculture in the developing world.
Smallholder farmers across the developing world face enormous obstacles that prevent them from earning a reliable income. A new report by Acumen and Bain & Co. points to the critical role of entrepreneurial companies, or “pioneer firms,” in providing market-based solutions to help these farmers address challenges such as lack of access to information, credit and technology.
In a piece for the Guardian, journalist Sarah Shemkus looks at the different solutions that these companies and facilitating organizations like TechnoServe provide to smallholders. She highlights in particular TechnoServe’s innovative work with soy and poultry farmers in Mozambique:
Five years ago, Mozambique’s poultry farmers had to import almost all the soy they used to feed their birds. There simply weren’t enough domestic growers cultivating the crop.
Washington DC-based nonprofit TechnoServe stepped in. Playing matchmaker between soy-seeking poultry producers and small-scale farmers looking to expand their businesses, it helped provide technical instruction and seed supplies to participating growers. In total, the project got 30,000 new smallholder farmers growing and selling soy, said Brent Habig, TechnoServe’s regional director for west and southern Africa.
“It was a large-scale transformation of smallholder agriculture in Mozambique,” he said.
The article further highlights TechnoServe's work linking cocoa farmers in West Africa with small businesses and local banks to improve their access to credit, fertilizers and other inputs.

Ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White won their second consecutive gold medal at U. S. Nationals last week to qualify for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver in February. The dancers are the top-ranked ice dancing couple in the world this season after winning the 2009-10 ISU Grand Prix Final in December as well as two Grand Prix events in the fall.
The dancers scored a personal best 222.29 total points to best 2009 world silver medalists Tanith Belbin and Benjamin Agosto by 3.78 points.
Davis and White earned 45.42 points in the compulsory dance, the Golden Waltz.
“We’ve done a waltz every year for the last ten years,” he added. “Waltzes come easy for us and feel very natural.”
“We haven’t been senior that long so we had done the Golden Waltz but not the tango,” White stated. “Both the Golden Waltz and the tango are very different dances and the skating skills required are tremendous, but we’re comfortable with the steps.”
“We worked more on the tango in the summer,” he added. “We worked with a ballroom instructor before we took it to the ice. The Golden kind of took a back seat because it’s not as difficult and Nationals was the only place we were sure we would be doing it before the season.”
The couple scored 68.11 for their original dance, an authentic Indian folk dance which has drawn raves from judges and fans alike as well as a following in India, where ice dancing is almost unknown.
“We wanted to show something really different and unique,” Davis said. “It’s different from the Arabian and Middle Eastern dances that you usually see. There’s a stark contrast between our dance and other dances.”
“Last year, we were more classical,” White added. “This is something different for the skating world. It’s very high energy and has some great movements.”
“We had an Indian dance teacher in Ann Arbor who taught us the difference between Bollywood and traditional Indian folk dances,” White noted. “Bollywood isn’t really authentic folk dancing.”
Davis and White scored 108.76 in their free dance to “Phantom of the Opera”. “It’s quite a change of pace from the original dance,” White said. “We used the Broadway version except for the last instrumental piece from the movie.”
“We reviewed a lot of music after last year’s Worlds,” Davis explained. “There were a lot of other choices but we kept coming back to ‘Phantom”. Then we had a lot of different versions of ‘Phantom’ to choose from.”
“I had five other different ideas for the free dance,” said coach Igor Shpilband, “but Charlie wanted to go with ‘Phantom’. I think it was the right choice. In my opinion, their performance at last year’s Worlds was very hard to t0p, but I think they have done it.”
“It’s a generalization of the story itself,” White continued. “We didn’t have to go with the exact structure of the movie or the play. First it’s the mystery of who he is, then how he gets Christine to love him, and finally when he reveals his face.”
Their gala program for the season is Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” by David Cook.
“We decided on the music before he died,” White said. “It’s not a tribute, just a coincidence. But we appreciate what he did.”
Igor Shpilband and Marina Zoueva coach the dancer, who train in Canton, Michigan for four to five hours a day, five days a week. They also have ballet twice a week and a workout program three times a week.
“We just stick to the basics,” White noted, “no yoga or Pilates.”
Zoueva and Shpilband choreograph their programs with help from others such as Johnny Johns, Adrianne Lenda, and Michael Lee as well as Anuja Rajendra, who worked with them on their original dance this season.
“Marina was the driving force behind the original dance,” White stated.
“We always have input into our programs,” Davis said. “At this point in our careers, it’s important to contribute something to each program.”
“We have a good sense of what we do best,” White added. “We work on a lot of stuff ourselves and if anything isn’t comfortable, we tell Igor.”
“We always make sure we have creative lifts,” Davis stated. “Lifts are the highlights of the program now and we want to catch people’s attention and get more points.”
“Spins come easy for us,” she added. “We’ve been spinning like crazy for the last couple of years.”
Davis and White plan to compete at the World Championships in Torino, no matter what their placement at the Olympics.
“We plan on doing the full season,” Davis said. “We always take one season at a time and most likely we’ll continue next year.”
Both of the dancers are musically inclined. Davis learned the flute and White played the violin.
Davis and White are both juniors at the University of Michigan.
“I’m taking cultural anthropology and Italian,” Davis said. “My dream is to work for National Geographic or the Discovery Channel or something along those lines.
“I kind of want to go to law school,” White said. “I want to take some political science and history courses because it’s a goof background for law school.”

The expedition made history on February 16, 1900, when Borchgrevink and his team achieved the Farthest South at 78°50’S, a record that stood for nearly 50 years. This milestone marked a crucial scientific and exploratory achievement, providing valuable data and insights into the harsh Antarctic environment. The Southern Cross Expedition also contributed to the understanding of the region’s geology, biology, and meteorology.
Despite facing numerous challenges, including extreme weather conditions and limited resources, Borchgrevink’s leadership and the team’s dedication enabled them to conduct groundbreaking scientific research. The expedition’s discoveries laid the groundwork for future Antarctic explorations and significantly advanced our understanding of the southernmost continent.
The huts from the expedition can still be seen today, mostly filled with penguins.
Carsten Borchgrevink’s Southern Cross Expedition played a pivotal role in Antarctic exploration, leaving a lasting legacy in the annals of scientific and geographical history.

From the World Bank:
Statement on the Iraq Economic Monitor Spring/Summer 2023
The Iraq Economic Monitor (IEM) Spring/Summer 2023 issue contained erroneous debt data for 2022 and projections for future years, as identified by the World Bank.
As a result, the debt-to-GDP ratio for 2022 was revised from 53.8% to 40.8% and is still decreasing.
The World Bank website published a revised report on September 7, 2023, after making corrections while the data and findings remain the same.
The Iraq Economic Monitor (IEM) report is published twice a year and provides an unbiased overview of the country’s economy and its outlook based on official data and World Bank analysis. It examines significant economic developments and evaluates the impact of policy changes on Iraq’s long-term and global economic situation. The IEM is available to the public and intended for a broad audience. It is an essential analytical tool that helps identify and support informed discussions on key economic reforms for Iraq’s future. The Spring/Summer 2023 edition of the IEM, which is available here, serves as an accurate source for informed discussions on its findings.
Iraq’s economy, which has recently been driven by oil, is currently facing a number of challenges that pose a risk to its long-term outlook. In response, the World Bank wants to reaffirm its commitment to supporting the Iraqi government’s efforts to implement reforms that will help diversify the economy, promote sustainable growth, and create new job opportunities.

Defective batteries in some Medtronic SynchroMed II implantable infusion pumps, which the manufacturer has reportedly known about since 2009, have led the FDA to determine the pumps pose a serious risk of health problems or death for consumers, resulting in a Class 1 medical device recall.
Earlier this summer, Medtronic sent a letter to doctors warning that it had received at least reports of 55 battery problems with SynchroMed II infusion pumps, where the batteries became covered with a thin film that may cause the device to fail.
On Monday, the FDA announced that the battery failures and Medtronic’s warnings constitute a Class 1 recall, which is the most serious type of classification.
The Medtronic SynchroMed II Implantable Infusion Pump recall affects units with model numbers 8637-20 and 8637-40, which were distributed between May 2004 and July 8, 2011. Patients can visit a Medtronic device identification webpage and enter their device’s serial number to see if it is affected by the recall.
Despite being a recall, it is unlikely very many of the devices will be retrieved. More than 140,000 patients have already had the infusion pumps surgically implanted to release painkillers into the body.
The FDA and Medtronic recommend recipients of the defective infusion pumps make sure they carry their patient identification cards with them at all times and contact their doctor immediately if they hear the device begin to alarm or they begin to suffer a return of symptoms that the device is supposed to treat.
The sudden failure of the painkiller pumps may cause a patient to no longer receive medication, which can result in the return of pain symptoms and could also cause them to suffer drug withdrawal. In some cases, like with patients receiving intrathecal baclofen to treat multiple sclerosis, the withdrawal symptoms could be life-threatening. The pumps are designed to have an 84-month lifespan, but the premature failures have occurred as early as 48 months, the company has warned.
The company indicated in a press release issued in July that it has been aware of the problem since July 2009, when it sent a letter to physicians.
A new battery design has been put into place for future SynchroMed II pumps in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Africa and India. Medtronic is still seeking approval for the design for pumps sold in the United States.

i am using server 2008 OS, with intel dual core,4gb RAM
i got a warning message That said "display driver stopped and recover from timeout failed"
and immediately BSOD occurred.I restarted the system but no BSOD. Only black screen.... with a cursor.......blinking on the monitor.
i disconnected the External HDD connected for the purpose of backup and restarted. so that it is working fine.
What to do? Do i have to Update the Drivers?
Does this only happen when you are booting up with the USB installed?
Looks like it is Intel video driver related.
Have a look at the following link:
Although for Windows 7, it'll possibly apply to Server 2008.
You can use this tool to view the mini dump of the BSOD:
Definitely some type of display driver issue. I'd go to the manufacturers website and download the latest driver.
Download this video driver sweeper (http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html), it will remove old drivers and traces of the faulty Intel driver. Then go to http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics to do an automatic scan and detection for the latest driver and install it. If the problem persists upload the .dmp file to analyze the log further.
We've seen a lot of the same here. Our drivers are up to date. Using BLUESCREENVIEW (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html) we discovered that it was the way the drivers were interacting with DirectX.
after disconnecting an External HDD ( connected using SATA cable).......it is working fine. But compulsorily i have to connect that external HDD to my server system for back up the data.
In BISO settings it shows Two HDD. and i made first boot device was the HDD which has OS.then on monitor i am not finding any information which is booting or not booting.
Only a blank screen with a cursor ..blinking.
the system can start normally---- only when i disconnect the External HDD.
I update the driver software .it is showing that software is up to date.
is it HDD problem? Or SATA Cable? Or loose connection of HDD?i checked all....

Each year in Tijuana, over 60,000 Mexican deportees end up without opportunities or infrastructure to support their arrival. This phenomenon developed into a humanitarian crisis that concentrated in Tijuana's dry concrete river -- an area known as "El Bordo." It is in El Bordo where thousands of Mexican deportees from the U.S. use to end up living in the most of extreme conditions -- inside sewers, gutters and under bridge. Here, drug consumption and disease prevail in a low morale environment.
The Tijuana Global Shapers Community (a diverse group of young leaders affiliated to World Economic Forum), proposed a project focused on building technology based vertical farms along the edge of the Tijuana River -- a project similar to the New York highline but with a productive twist. The idea was inspired by an experience with Angel Ventures Mexico where we invested, through an Angel Group, in Home Town Farms; a startup doing vertical farming in the neighboring San Diego area.
We simply brought a for-profit business model to a social issue. The goal was to create a center for transitional migration and urban farming on the edge of the Tijuana River area ("El Bordo") and we named simply named it "Bordofarms".
On our Launch Day, on early January, we hit the ground running. Media outlets reported, "It was an act of civil disobedience, carried out on federal land off a busy Tijuana thoroughfare in broad daylight. For hours on Saturday, volunteers built boxes, carted dirt and planted seedlings in what organizers say are the first step in an urban farming project aimed at addressing the issue of homeless U.S. deportees."... "The vision is to build vertical urban farms that would create jobs for the deportees, revitalize a blighted area, and serve as a source of food for the city."
In mid March 2015 after intense rains an evacuation of almost two thousand homeless people was conducted by local authorities in the "Bordo" area, making BordoFarms the last group standing in the area.
After four months in stand-by, Bordofarms aim today is to rehabilitate the old tourist pedestrian corridor of Tijuana. An area that used to welcome thousands of annual visitors from the U.S., which became abandoned and dilapidated due to decreased tourism. Our proposal is to rehabilitate this important gateway by creating an urban farm in a piece of land used as a clandestine landfill. As well as engage tourists, and integrate the nearby deportee community through productive jobs in-site and partnerships with newly created local small businesses catering to conscious tourists and local customers.
With the support of the Tijuana City Government, we are in the process of approval to begin our project that could potentially become into a sort of a Conscious District, aiming towards becoming a potential example for other government leaders looking to integrate urban initiatives into the new economy.
Given our conviction to make this second phase of Bordofarms happen, we decided to apply to the Coca-Cola shaping a better future challenge, in collaboration with Global Shapers, in order to reach our funding goals for this urban farm in the old Tijuana touristic corridor.
After this intense immersion into the social fabric of our city's deportee community, we have learned that there are many creative ways to approach social issues and that we are ready to take on the new challenges ahead through more economically viable and scalable model of social enterprise in urban farming.

Google now wants Android to power your car too
Android already powers most smartphones on Earth.Now, Google is placing its mobile operating system right inside cars, a bid to cement its core service in the auto industry as more technology sweeps in.
GAndroid already powers most smartphones on Earth. Now, Google is placing its mobile operating system right inside cars, a bid to cement its core service in the auto industry as more technology sweeps in.
On Monday, ahead of its I/O mobile developers conference, Alphabet Inc's Google is showing off its next step in automotive software: an Android version of touchscreen car consoles and infotainment systems.
It will host popular applications, like Google Maps and Spotify, but also control car features like seat positioning and temperature. The new system also embeds the Google Assistant - the company's voice control service, for searching on the go, asking for directions, and making phone calls - in cars for the first time.
This isn't Google's first stab at software for cars. In 2014, the tech giant introduced Android Auto, which lets people project content from their smartphones to their car's screen. The new system plunges deeper, taking over the underlying software on the car. A driver doesn't need to plug in a phone to run it. Bloomberg

The Italian authorities have issued another order of administrative detention in the Sicilian port of Augusta for the migrant rescue ship Sea Watch 3 after the coast guard found a number of irregularities.
On Sunday (March 21), Italian authorities announced that the German NGO ship Sea-Watch 3 had been placed under administrative detention in the Sicilian port of Augusta. The decision follows an inspection onboard the ship by the Italian coast guard that found a number of irregularities,
The ship, which arrived in the port on March 3 carrying 385 people rescued off Libya, had been authorized to transport a maximum of only 22 people.
Coast Guard cites issues for detention
Among the elements that led to the inspection, the coast guard said, was the "the lack of preventative communications for entrance into the Augusta port for maritime security" as well as "refusals in the most recent sailing period".
It added that the Sea Watch 3 had, while anchoring in the port, spilled hydraulic oil in port waters.
The inspection confirmed the irregularities that emerged in the entering of the port and showed "further issues with regards to safety at sea, anti-fire measures onboard, and protection of the environment and the crew, which led to the administrative detention of the ship."
Criticism from Sea-Watch 3
"Again, we are accused of having rescued too many people. The alternative: Letting 363 people drown, as EU authorities are turning a blind eye, not showing any efforts to closing the rescue gap" in the Mediterranean Sea, the NGO wrote on Twitter.
"The politically motivated use of port state controls by Italian authorities to block civil rescue ships has only just been questioned by Palermo's Administrative Court, who freed #SeaWatch4 while awaiting a decision by the European Court of Justice," it added, referring to a decision by the judiciary that allowed the Sea Watch 4 ship to sail again after being stopped for six months.
