These three reports by Anna-Maria Lombard in City Press (14 February 2010) paint a damning picture of the South African public health system.

Medicine Stockouts - 3 stories from City Press

National Stockouts

South Africa’s already crippled state hospitals have run out of life-saving medicines.

A City Press investigation can reveal that bad planning, mismanagement and incompetence are leaving scores of patients without medicine to manage diseases like tuberculosis, hypertension, rabies, anaemia and malaria.

Virtually all the country’s provincial health departments have massively overspent in the past financial year. In some cases, suppliers have not been paid, while staff shortages across the country are wreaking havoc - especially on rural hospitals and clinics.

Worst hit seems to be the Eastern Cape where hospitals and clinics have run out of crucial medicines. A measles epidemic is ravaging the province while pharmacies are battling to get supplies of medication.

In Mpumalanga, clinics and hospitals don’t have rabies vaccine and malaria medicine. At least three patients have in the last two weeks died of rabies and six from malaria.

Supplies of folic acid and ferrous sulphate, or iron - essential for people living with HIV and pregnant women, have been out of stock for months. Clinics across the province have reported shortages of various antibiotics, tetanus, polio and hepatitis-B vaccines, needles, syringes, contraceptive injections and condoms, among many others.

In the Free State, some clinics have not only run out of basic medicines but have had their electricity cut due to non-payment of bills. A sister in charge of a clinic in the northern Free State says they had been told the health department is R33-million in debt and that all purchases have to be approved by the Provincial Treasury.

In Gauteng, the Democratic Alliance estimates that the Health Department owes drug and food suppliers more than R1-billion as the financial year winds down. Because of these delays, some service providers have held back on stock and doctors have to scramble for alternatives in order to treat patients.

“If institutions of international repute like Chris Hani Baragwanath and Charlotte Maxexe have stock-out problems, it points to much deeper, systemic problems,” says DA Health spokesperson Jack Bloom.

The Limpopo Health Department has overspent by around R90-million on its ARV budget. Hospital budgets have been cut to free up funds for ARVs. Even so, fewer than half of people who need ARVs currently have access to them.

In the Northwest and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, doctors say their problem wasn’t so much stock-outs but a dire shortage of doctors.

In one Northwest district, more than half of its doctors left by the end of last year and community service doctors didn’t arrive at the beginning of the year. As a result, no new HIV/Aids patients could be initiated on treatment.

The KZN health department has frozen all posts in all departments as a result of over-spending. A circular sent out by the Provincial Treasury in October said that due to the “anticipated high level of year-end over-expenditure”, province was embarking on a massive cost-cutting drive.
All appointments have been put on hold. The estimated over-expenditure is estimated at R1,5 billion.

The Eastern Cape’s two medicine depots have this week become the subject of a provincial investigation, admits health spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo.

Mthatha depot, which supplies medicines to remote clinics and hospitals, has not had a pharmacist to dispense supplies since the start of January. The depot had three pharmacists but their contracts weren’t renewed and they left in December without contingency plans in place. The depot manager is not a pharmacist and cannot order or prescribe scheduled medicines.

Drug shortages have ravaged the Eastern Cape for over a decade. The chairperson of the Rural Doctors Association, Dr Karl le Roux, says hospitals have learnt to pre-empt erratic drug supplies by ordering as many different versions of medicines as possible to prevents them from running out of a particular drug altogether.

But not even this pre-emptive strategy has worked this time. At the end of January, hospital pharmacies found their two-weekly order lists returned by the depot, with anything from 70 to 200 items marked “out of stock”.

A case in point is the Zithulele Hospital near Coffee Bay on the Wild Coast. The Mthatha depot could not supply 201 items on their list. Monique Lines who was Zithulele’s pharmacist till two weeks ago says she routinely reported stock shortages to the health department in Bisho, but it made no difference.

By the end of January, Zithulele had run out of polio and TB vaccine for children, cleaning solutions, gloves, gauze, oxygen, bandages and a vast range of antibiotics. TB medication has been on the stock-out list for months.

Zithulele had to appeal to the Rural Health Advocacy Project in Johannesburg to intervene. Project Manager Marije Versteeg has been seeking answers from the Province, without any success.

Zithulele will soon have to turn away new TB patients away, since there still isn’t medication at the depot. Patients have already been turned away from some feeder clinics. Without the drugs for second-line treatment, patients run the risk of developing deadly drug-resistant TB.

Medicine supply has always been erratic and by the Province’s own admission, the Health Department is R1,8-billion in debt. They’ve put all payments to suppliers on hold for this financial year.

But Eastern Cape Health Departmental spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo denies that there is a shortage of drugs. He says inadequate ordering at hospitals and “bad management” is to blame for the stock-outs.

Kupelo says an investigation has been launched into both the Mthatha and Port Elizabeth depots. “The Department wants to know which provincial manager was responsible for allowing the situation to deteriorate to this level. Maladministration will not be tolerated,” he says.

The provincial Health Department remains in such dire financial straits that they have invited National Treasury to send a rescue team to the province. With the team’s arrival this week, all delegations and mandates for spending were withdrawn and bid award committees disbanded. Work has begun to redesign the procurement system and overhaul its finances.

Mpumalanga Depot Disaster

Nellie Makwakwa fumbles with a tissue as her eyes brim with tears. It’s the thought of dying and leaving her children without care that frightens her. And she’s been told that she’s on the brink of a stroke if her blood pressure doesn’t come down.

The doctor at Tintswalo Hospital in Acornhoek in northern Mpumalanga had told that Nellie that her condition is life-threatening and that her chances of having a stroke, heart attack and kidney problems are great. And she’s only in her 30s. The doctor prescribed a drug called hydrochlorothizide. By taking the prescribed dosage, Nellie can lead a normal life.

But Tintswalo Hospital had no hypertension medicine, so Nellie travelled the sixty kilometres back to her local clinic, Hluvukani. The clinic said they didn’t have the pills either.

City Press accompanied Nellie to Hluvukani. The handful of nurses were run off their feet.

We met a number of patients outside the gate who had been sent home with “Out-of-Stock” written in the treatment books that they carry with them.

Peps Ndlovu is a big man in his sixties who is also hypertensive. He struggles with congestive heart failure and asthma and came to the clinic for an inhaler. The clinic was out of inhalers. He couldn’t get blood pressure medication or aspirin either. They were all “Out-of-Stock”, his treatment book told us.

The clinic was also out of most antibiotics, all painkillers, anti-inflammatories, anti-histamines, vitamins and iron and other essential supplements for people living with HIV.

We visited Tintswalo Hospital and learned from maternity nurses leaving for home that they were just about ready to go on strike. They had had days of no gloves in the labour room and no AZT to give mothers and babies to prevent HIV transmission during birth.

The story is the same at clinics and hospitals throughout Mpumalanga. Medicine procurement and distribution is in utter disarray.

The company that has the tender to buy, re-pack and distribute drugs for the Provincial Department of Health is Amalgamated Logistics. Their contract had however expired in May last year. It’s been renewed on a three-monthly basis, but in such a tenuous position, they’ve been unable to recruit more staff.

An insider in Mpumalanga’s medicines management chain told City Press that the Province is routinely behind on payment to suppliers and that suppliers in turn hold onto stock. This forces doctors to use more expensive ways to treat patients. One doctor had to give his anaemic patients blood transfusions, costing over R1000 each, because he couldn’t get them iron, at a few rand per packet.

The most damning evidence of poor management is the province’s R68-million medicine depot.

At the end of last year, Amalgamated Logistics was also told to pack up everything – equipment and stock – in their two provincial depots, and move to a beautiful, large, custom-built depot that was completed two years ago.

Yet today, the shiny new depot in Middelburg still stands largely empty, with grass growing knee-high and no sign of life.

The move, scheduled for the end of last year, never happened and Amalgamated had to duly unpack all their stock again.

Department of Health Communications Manager John Mlangeni disputes that the building has been empty for so long – the official opening was in September and the delay in moving was due to a lack of security.

He said this tender would be advertised “soon”, together with a tender for the actual move, and insisted that “we will soon be moving, we are just finalising logistics.”

In the meantime, the owner of the old depot in Middelburg, whose building is still being used by Amalgamated to run the Department’s depot, told City Press that the Department owes him R469,036.95 in unpaid rent since February last year.

Shortly before going to print, City Press received this exasperated sms from a doctor in the province: “I had a patient coming in with a stroke and found that for the previous three months every time she had come to hospital for treatment, her anti-hypertensive medication and aspirin had been out of stock. I wrote “the depot” as the underlying cause of death on her death certificate.”

Zithulele - Beacon of Hope

“The President and every government minister should spend a day with a rural doctor…just see what we do. See how sick people are and how they’re made to wait, and how little they complain.”

So says Dr Karl le Roux, Chairman of the Rural Doctors’ Association and principal medical officer at Zithulele Hospital. He says the quiet resignation with which their patients endure a lack of resources at the hospital is heart-breaking.

“Let them see how much patience and dignity patients have.”

The good news at Zithulele this week is that the measles outbreak may finally be subsiding. In the last week only 10 new cases were reported, compared to 40 two weeks before. A total of 260 cases have been treated since November.

Outbreaks may yet flare up in other areas. The Eastern Cape Department of Health says 9000 vaccines were brought in from elsewhere for mass vaccination campaign. But it won’t reach everyone.

The measles epidemic illustrates the problem with the Mthatha depot. Le Roux says they ordered vaccine when the first patient arrived in November.

“We needed to vaccinate all our kids in the paediatric ward. It’s recommended that staff get a booster dose in an epidemic. We ordered, but there was none at the depot.”

Four staff members got measles at the hospital. They believe at least three of these cases could have been prevented by a booster dose.

Le Roux says the problem is that they don’t have a good level of constant immunisation in the community. “If particularly kids haven’t been vaccinated, it spreads like wildfire. We’ve lost 3 patients, a child, pregnant mother and a young man. It’s been pretty hectic.”

Treating those very sick with measles at Zithulele was complicated by the stock-outs. “We don’t have simple stuff like paracetamol tablets and ibuprofen syrup. We’re admitting kids with temperatures of 40 degrees and we literally can’t give them anything. It’s very frustrating.”

“We want to provide high-quality health-care to this community. They’re desperately poor and from remote places, but that doesn’t mean they should get a second-rate service,” says le Roux.

But Le Roux feels the current lurching from crisis to crisis without underlying systems in place is unsustainable.

“We are relying on exceptional people to do exceptional things to keep our health system afloat. People who have stayed long-term in the public sector are remarkable people. They have taken so much crap and abuse, but they stay committed to their patients. Fighting with administrators, fighting with people who don’t understand them, being paid the same notch as when they started…all these issues…and they’re still there.”

 EV-71 continues spreading, death toll mounts in China - Taipei Times
Tue, May 06, 2008 - Page 1　News List

EV-71 continues spreading, death toll mounts in China

Authorities have reported more than 6,300 cases in a deadly viral outbreak and yesterday raised the death toll to 26 children.

The latest fatality was in coastal Zhejiang Province. The provincial Health Ministry’s Web site said that in addition to the one death, 1,198 children had been stricken with enterovirus 71.

The ministry appealed for any sick children “to be sent immediately to health clinics” and for people to “report the case immediately to health and education departments.”

There have already been 5,151 cases reported in Anhui Province, where 22 children have died, Xinhua news agency said. Most of the cases were in or near Fuyang.

Xinhua has also reported three deaths in Guangdong.

Enterovirus 71, also known as EV-71, causes a severe form of hand, foot and mouth disease with symptoms including fever, mouth sores and rashes with blisters.

The WHO says the virus normally peaks in June and July.

The WHO representative in China, Hans Troedsson, said the disease was not a threat to the Beijing Olympics because the disease mostly sickens young children.

Troedsson, on Sunday dismissed claims by Chinese media that local authorities in Anhui had tried to cover up the initial stages of the outbreak.

China’s Health Ministry has sent teams to Anhui to coordinate treatment of the disease and prevent its spread.

State-run TV showed workers spraying disinfectant around houses in rural areas outside Fuyang and medical teams visiting families with small children.

A task force headed by Health Minister Chen Zhu (陳竺) has been established to liaise with local-level health officials on control efforts, the ministry said.

Guangzhou Evergrande set sights on Al-Ahly

AFP, AGADIR, Morocco

Sat, Dec 14, 2013 - Page 19

China’s Guangzhou Evergrande are out to beat African champions Al-Ahly in today’s quarter-finals of the Club World Cup to set up a last-four clash with European titans Bayern Munich.

The regional champions from each of the FIFA regions are gathering in North Africa to decide which is the best domestic team in the world.

The Oceania representatives, Auckland City FC of New Zealand, lost Wednesday’s opening playoff match when they went down 2-1 to host club Raja Casablanca, who meet Mexico’s CF Monterrey today in Agadir after the Guangzhou-Al-Ahly showdown.

Guangzhou were crowned Asian champions after beating South Korea’s FC Seoul last month and are eager to down Al-Ahly to set up a clash with German giants Bayern Munich in Tuesday’s first semi-final.

Both Bayern and Copa Libertadores winners Atletico Mineiro of Brazil, representing South America, have been given byes through to next week’s semi-finals.

This is Guangzhou’s first appearance at a Club World Cup, but they have a talented squad including both Asia’s Player of the Year Zheng Zhi and Foreign Player of the Year in Brazil’s Muriqui, with World Cup-winning coach Marcello Lippi at the helm.

Muriqui has set his sights on making an impact in Morocco, but inists Guangzhou must focus on the African champions before coming up against Bayern.

“These are world-class teams, but we will take our game to them,” Muriqui told, with Bayern set to jet to Morocco after today’s Bundesliga clash at home to Hamburg.

“The first game will be a hard test and we should strive to win. We represent China and Asia, so we will spare nothing to get a good result,” he added.

Hailed as one of the most promising stars in the Brazilian league, Muriqui made an immediate impact on his arrival in 2010, racking up 13 goals in 14 appearances in his debut season as Guangzhou earned promotion to the top flight.

The next season saw him prove equally unstoppable, notching up another 16 goals, and collecting the top scorer and player of the year awards as his side clinched the league title.

Bayern are favorites to lift the Club World Cup trophy in Marrakech on Saturday next week, with the Bavarians aiming to win their second piece of silverware under Pep Guardiola after winning the UEFA Super Cup by beating Chelsea in a penalty shoot-out in Prague in August.

Having been part of the Bayern team who won the 2001 Champions League title in Europe, midfielder Hasan Salihamidzic said Guardiola’s side will take some beating in their quest to add a first global title to their European crown.

“FC Bayern is a global brand and getting bigger all the time,” said the 36-year-old, who retired from the game last year after a season at VfL Wolfsburg.

“There’s explosive growth at Bayern, although the whole set-up is perhaps still even bigger at Barcelona and Real. Bayern are certainly aiming to become as big. Winning the Champions League and perhaps going on to win the Club World Cup can only help them keep growing,” Salihamidzic said.

Number of elderly criminals in Japan soaring: ministry

AFP, Tokyo

Sat, Nov 17, 2012 - Page 6

The number of elderly criminals being caught by Japanese police has rocketed, the Japanese Justice Ministry said yesterday, with pensioners committing almost 50 times more assaults than two decades ago.

The number of criminals aged 65 or older booked by police last year increased by 475 from the previous year to 48,637, more than six times as many as 20 years ago, the ministry said in its latest white paper on crime.

Most crimes committed by elderly people were shoplifting or other thefts, but violent crimes were also on the rise, the ministry said.

A significant increase was seen in the rates of violent crime committed by elderly people, with 49.5 times more assaults than in 1992 and 8.7 times more bookings for bodily injury, the white paper said.

In a more extreme example, local media reported in April that a 97-year-old man with a walking aid was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after he allegedly attacked an 84-year-old woman with a Japanese sword in central Japan.

However, the trend of rising crime among the elderly goes against that of society at large, where the overall number of crimes in Japan fell 5.8 percent year-on-year to 2.14 million last year, its ninth straight year of decline.

Japan’s population is aging rapidly, but, says the paper, not quickly enough to account for all these crimes.

“The speed of the increase of the number of elderly criminals overwhelms the increase of the population group,” the white paper said.

Jewel, Lawrence Taylor, Steve Wozniak and Lil' Kim among the "Dancing With The Stars" lineup

Donny Osmond may have screwed up when he prematurely announced his participation in the eighth cycle of ABC's mega-popular Dancing With the Stars, but some other casting leaks turned out to be pretty accurate.

Train wreck actress Denise Richards, Alaskan singer/songwriter Jewel and Jackass star/ex-mental patient Steve-O were names floated last week and confirmed Sunday by ABC.

But they were just the beginning of a long list: Olympian gymnast Shawn Johnson, comic David Alan Grier, Go-Go's singer Belinda Carlisle, rapper Lil' Kim, rodeo rider Ty Murray, Apple computer designer Steve Wozniak, French model/actor Gilles Marini, former NFL star Lawrence Taylor, Access Hollywood co-host Nancy O'Dell and DWTS dancer Julianne Hough's boyfriend, country crooner Chuck Wicks.

Johnson, at 17, will be the youngest competitor ever. And besides Hough and Wicks, there are two other couples involved; Murray and Jewel are married, while dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff will compete against each other. New episodes debut at 8 p.m. March 9 on WFTS-Ch. 28.

Still, DWTS casts tend to fit well-worn formulas. And while one type is conspicuously absent — the physically challenged performer once exemplified by deaf dancer Marlee Matlin — most other types remain.

The surprisingly agile male athlete: Taylor and Murray fall here — dudes you don't expect to do well, despite most pro athletes' superior coordination.

Sean Daly's CD picks: Irma Thomas, Solange, Lost Trailers, Lady Antebellum

Irma Thomas

Album: Simply Grand (Rounder)

In stores: Now

Why we care: The Soul Queen of New Orleans duets with such famed baby-granders as Dr. John, Norah Jones and Randy Newman, most of whom stay mum and let the 67-year-old legend do all the singing.

Why we like it: The 14-track disc has a late-night feel, all wistful playing and Thomas' cool, contained vocal. It's quiet, captivating, especially as the guests reveal themselves mainly through their signature ivory work. The album's finale is a cover of Newman's I Think It's Going to Rain Today. With the singer's obvious connection to the lyrics, it becomes a mournful but hopeful tribute to the Crescent City.

Reminds us of: 3 a.m., on the corner of Dauphine & Toulouse, wondering what to do next.

Download this: I Think It's Going to Rain Today

Grade: B

Album: Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams (Geffen)

In stores: Now

Why we care: As an only child, I've always daydreamed about having an older, wildly successful sib. Maybe a sister. Like Madonna Daly. Or at least Cher Daly. I'd totally be like Solange Knowles, the 22-year-old lil' sis of Beyonce. Solange is cute, quirky, has cool taste in music. But her fame will forever be hinged on Big B's. That said, Solange will always get a rockin' table at Bern's. Yeah, I could live with that.

Why we like it: Solange digs trippy soul and R&B, which allows Thievery Corporation and the Neptunes to produce funky '60s grooves. Her voice is thin, but she's having fun.

Reminds us of: Mom woulda liked Cher best.

Download these: Sandcastle Disco and I Decided Pt. 1

Grade: B-

The Lost Trailers

Album: Holler Back (Sony)

In stores: Now

Why we care: This Nashville country crew whips up a hillbilly heaven stuffed with shout-out choruses and pretty-boy veneer. They say they're at home "back in the woods," but you get the feeling they'd be just fine at a Rascal Flatts show, too.

Why we like it: First single Holler Back is pure pop country — synthetic but catchy — and it's already raising a ruckus on iTunes. Willie Nelson wouldn't like it, but Southern sorority girls sure will. The Trailers' by-the-book ballads tend to grate — if they get any response at all. But when the boys speed things up, you're in safe, if not entirely groundbreaking, hands.

Reminds us of: Riding ATVs backstage with Big & Rich. Good times, good times.

Download these: Holler Back and Hey Baby

Grade: C

Lady Antebellum

Song: Love Don't Live Here

Album: Lady Antebellum (Capitol)

In stores: Now

Why we care: Country trio Lady Antebellum is just as slick as the Lost Trailers. But the big difference here is singer Charles Kelley. Have you heard this guy yet? Hoo boy, this cowboy can sing for sure, a down-low sexy yawp reminiscent of Gregg Allman's bluesy off-road growl. Kelley might have the best new voice of the year.

Why we like it: Love Don't Live Here isn't that great a tune. It's your standard midtempo belter about a former paramour showing up on an ex's doorstep. He's done with her . . . or is he? Whatever. Kelley's rich vocal gives this bit o' fluff an added dimension and drama it doesn't deserve. Nevertheless, you'll be hooked.

Reminds us of: Allman's I'm No Angel. Or Michael Caine in Jaws 4.

Song grade: B+

Woman at center of Stanley Eckard murder case takes stand

BROOKSVILLE — Prosecutors say Stanley Eckard killed his younger brother, Sean, three years ago because of a woman.

On Wednesday, the second day of Eckard's first-degree murder trial, that woman took the stand.

During questioning by assistant state attorney Pete Magrino, Samantha Rowe recalled a conversation with Stanley Eckard on June 19, 2010. She testified that Stanley told her Sean had packed up and left the state.

Earlier that day, however, Stanley had buried the body of 19-year-old Sean in the side yard of the Spring Hill home the brothers shared with their parents.

Rowe, who was dating Sean at the time, didn't know that.

"He told me he was a lot more relaxed now that Sean had left, and there wasn't so much tension in the house anymore," Rowe said.

Rowe, whose last name was Nicholson then, said Stanley told her that they could get back together now that Sean was gone. She told him there was no such thing as "back together" because there was never a "together" in the first place. They had only hung out alone once, she testified, when Stanley told her he had a crush on her.

Then, as they sat in Rowe's car a couple of blocks away from the Eckard home, they kissed.

Magrino is trying to convince jurors that Rowe was on Stanley Eckard's mind when he went into Sean's bedroom earlier that morning. Within moments, Sean was dead.

Magrino said during his opening argument Tuesday that Stanley's own statements to detectives after his arrest indicated he planned to kill his brother because of simmering resentment, much of it over Rowe. Chief assistant public defender Alan Fanter told jurors Sean's death happened accidentally during a struggle, when the younger man hit his head on a night stand.

A medical examiner testified Tuesday that Sean suffered a fractured skull and a broken neck from blunt force trauma. She said it was possible those injuries were caused by hitting his head during a fall.

The defense's case is complicated by what Stanley, now 24, admits he did after realizing Sean was dead. Instead of calling for help, he hoisted his brother's body out the bedroom window and buried him in a shallow grave.

Prosecutors say Stanley then used Sean's cellphone to send text messages to Rowe.

"I received messages from Sean's phone telling me he left and was going to California, and he was breaking up with me," Rowe testified Wednesday. "I texted (Stanley) and said he was right about Sean."

Rowe said Stanley had warned her that Sean was just using her and would soon move on to another woman.

After receiving Rowe's message, Stanley told her to call him. She did.

"He said he just woke up, he didn't know what was going on, his mom was crying, Sean's things were gone and they think he was walking on the interstate," Rowe recalled.

Their meeting in the car happened later that day.

During cross-examination, Fanter tried to show jurors that there was more to the relationship between Stanley and Rowe.

He noted a series of sexually explicit text messages Rowe sent to Stanley at the end of May and more flirtatious messages she sent after they kissed in the car that Saturday in June. In one of the messages, she told him she wanted to see him again.

Fanter is also trying to convince jurors that Sean's temper had become more volatile after a bout with encephalitis a couple of years earlier, and that he was angry with his brother about Rowe.

Rowe acknowledged that Sean was acting strangely in the week before his death, especially on Friday night, the last time she saw him alive.

"Did he tell you he thought the world was going to end that night and kept asking if you knew how much he loved you?" Fanter asked.

Yes, Rowe replied.

The brothers' father, Samuel Eckard, discovered Sean's body the following Monday.

Jurors on Wednesday watched a video of the crime scene taken by investigators. It included footage of Sean's dirt-caked body, in a fetal position in the hole his brother dug for him.

When the images appeared, Stanley looked away. His father, sitting two rows behind him, sobbed quietly.

Samuel Eckard and his wife, Donna, have said they believe Stanley's account of what caused Sean's death, and they have criticized prosecutors for pursuing a murder charge.

The trial is expected to finish this week.

Tampa Bay Rays give up 10-run inning in 13-5 loss to Toronto Blue Jays

ST. PETERSBURG — Through the first five innings Tuesday, Jeff Niemann started to look more like the right-hander who was one of the Rays' most consistent starters.

Niemann, making his second start since coming off the disabled list, held the Blue Jays to just two hits.

"Everything was there," Niemann said. "I felt like we were back."

Then came the sixth, and everything fell apart.

Niemannn was charged with six runs in Toronto's 10-run inning as the Rays lost 13-5 in front of another small crowd of 12,972 at Tropicana Field. In doing so, Tampa Bay (81-51) dropped out of first place for the first time in nine days, trailing the Yankees by one game as the calendar flips to September.

The Rays led by two before Niemann's sixth, when he failed to get an out, gave up five hits and hit a batter. Lance Cormier struggled, too, getting charged with four runs, leading many fans to leave the stands and manager Joe Maddon to empty the bench.

"I've had a little bit of time to think about it, and I still am not sure what really happened," Niemann said. "Everything felt fine, everything felt great early. And all of a sudden, I just couldn't get anybody out."

Maddon felt Niemann looked a lot better than he did in Anaheim in his previous outing, when he gave up a career-high 10 runs in just 32/3 innings, and said he is not overly concerned.

"He was throwing the ball well, he had good velocity, he had really good movement, they had bad swings on him," Maddon said. "After five innings I thought, 'This is looking pretty darn good.' Normally he rides that out pretty good."

Niemann said he physically feels fine. But he has given up a combined 17 runs and 15 hits over his past 82/3 innings. The 17 runs match the number Niemann allowed the entire month of July in six starts.

"It's very frustrating," Niemann said. "But that's what this game is about. It's not supposed to be easy. So it's one of those times where you've got to dig deep and figure out what's going on."

The Rays took the lead in the fifth inning off Jays left-hander Ricky Romero, thanks to two walks and a two-out RBI single by Ben Zobrist followed by a go-ahead two-run double by Dan Johnson.

But Niemann gave it all back in the sixth, and everything unraveled quickly.

Fred Lewis led off the sixth with a perfectly placed bunt single that rolled to a stop right on the third-base line. Lewis stole second — one of three Blue Jays steals, the most they've had in a game all season — and scored on a DeWayne Wise single. Niemann hit Jose Bautista with a pitch then gave up three straight doubles before getting pulled.

Toronto manager Cito Gaston thought that when Niemann plunked Bautista — the majors leader in home runs — "our guys got fired up a little bit."

"I'm not sure if he was throwing at him intentionally or if it just got away from him," Gaston said. "Whatever it was, it seemed to wake our guys up."

Niemann said he may have lost some command in the sixth, but he also credited the Jays.

"That lineup is as potent as any lineup out there," Niemann said. "They can take advantage of stuff. They can hit good pitches, too. So that's a good team over there and they're capable of doing that every single night."

USF Bulls make two fourth-down gambles pay off against West Virginia

TAMPA — A pair of fourth-down gambles played huge roles in USF's 30-19 win against No. 20 West Virginia, with the first setting up the Bulls' first touchdown and a bigger gamble leading to USF's final points.

After Friday's victory, USF coach Jim Leavitt recognized both the importance of going for it and also the incredible risk involved, should the Bulls not have converted.

"It's pretty stupid to do what I did I think, probably," Leavitt said. "First time, it was really probably foolish, but we got it. I really wanted to get a spark going and something happening. … It really opened up the game."

The first fourth down came on USF's first drive, as the Bulls, already trailing 7-0, faced fourth and 1 from their 49. The Bulls lined up with three running backs — Mo Plancher, with Mike Ford and Richard Kelly lined up as blocking backs. All three backs ran left, with Ford throwing a key block to help Plancher gain 2 yards for the first down. On the next play, the Bulls scored as B.J. Daniels found Carlton Mitchell open for a 49-yard touchdown.

The bigger risk came on the second play of the fourth quarter, as USF led 27-19 and faced another fourth and 1, from its 41. Daniels had hit Bogan for a 6-yard gain on the previous play, and Leavitt was unhappy with the spot from the officials, who took a measurement and found the Bulls an inch short.

"I was not going to let that ball placement stop us," Leavitt said. "That just bothered me. That was more me just being angry. You've got to be careful. If a person punted in that situation, they're probably doing the right thing. All you have to do is bobble the snap, they get a push or something like that, and all the sudden, you lose a football game. I thought we had that first down. I was sitting there going, 'That far? You've got to be kidding me.' "

West Virginia stacked the line of scrimmage, but Daniels got just enough on a straightahead keeper to get the first down. Seven plays later and with nearly three minutes off the clock, USF kicker Eric Schwartz hit a 44-yard field goal to give the Bulls a two-score lead.

Leavitt said the risks of being second-guessed keep many coaches from taking such gambles, but he felt he needed to go for it, to take a chance to help his team win.

"Even if you get ridiculed for those things, people don't worry about it as much, because you win," he said. "You lose, then … .when it works, the decisions, it's okay. If it doesn't, then you might as well forget it, because you're done. You can't do those things."

OpenStreetMap Mapping Party?

Postby yellowbkpk » Sun May 02, 2010 7:07 pm

Hi TC Maker!

My name is Ian and I'm thinking about setting up a OpenStreetMap Mapping Party in the Twin Cities area. If you are unfamiliar with OpenStreetMap, I invite you to check out the website. In short, it's a free wiki map of the world. Anyone can edit the map by adding or changing roads, points of interest and more. A mapping party is a local gathering where a bunch of people that know a particular area get together and map a certain area. In some cases this involves carrying around a GPS unit, pen and paper to note what you see around you. This data is then brought back together and entered into the system. Afterwards, copious amounts of celebrating and hanging out occur.

I'm wondering if any TC Maker members would be interested in being part of this. If you're interested, please feel free to reply to this post. I'm also interested in hearing about any other organizations in the area that might be interested in participating.

Hi, Ian-

We might well have some folks that are interested in this.

What I'd suggest is this: pick a Wednesday night and prepare a short presentation on it. Maybe even a brief around-the-hood demo excursion. Come in, do it, see what interest crops up.

TCMaker is structured as a "do-ocracy": if you want to see it happen, do it. Look at the calendar, pick a Wednesday (if you're a fully-paid member and have access outside of Wednesday nights, pick any time you want)(or, if you find a willing paid member co-sponsor) and schedule the event. We (the exec board) will put it on the calendar for you and put the word out in the semi-weekly mailing. Beyond that, you can come to meetings and talk it up, post signs, whatever. The only thing we ask for group meetings like this is that you shill mildly to get attendees to buy some refreshments from our fridge and/or drop a little cash into the donation box to help keep the doors open.

Hi again TC Makers,

I booked a room at the Walker Community Library this coming Saturday, June 12th at 2pm for a mapping party.

I would be interested in coming in this coming Wednesday for TC Maker's open house to give a short demo (and try to convince everyone to come on Saturday :)). How many people usually end up showing up on Wednesday?

Koeman disappointed over Sissoko but happy with squad

Date published: Thursday 8th September 2016 4:52

Ronald Koeman: Spoke to Sissoko 10 days before deadline

Ronald Koeman was disappointed not to create the “perfect picture” at Everton by signing Moussa Sissoko on transfer deadline day but feels the club did everything they could on that front and insists he is happy with the “very good” squad he has been left with.

Toffees boss Koeman says Sissoko told him with 10 days to go in the summer window that he was interested in joining the Merseyside outfit from Newcastle.

And on deadline day last Wednesday the France midfielder had looked set to complete that switch for £30million – but ended up moving to Tottenham instead.

Everton did recruit forward Enner Valencia on loan from West Ham, to add to the earlier summer arrivals of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, defender Ashley Williams, midfielder Idrissa Gueye and winger Yannick Bolasie.

And Koeman said on Thursday: “Overall (the window was) positive, because we signed some good players.

“Of course, we had a disappointment on the last day, but that happens in football, because you don’t get always what you like to have.

“It was not in our hands with Sissoko. He chose finally a different option, but I can’t say anything against the club, the board, the chairman, because we did everything to get the player.

“I did not have the meeting with his agents. From the outside, it was difficult.

“I spoke to the player, I think it was 10 days before the last day of the window – and the player showed his interest in coming to Everton.

“Then, finally, everyone knows what happened.

Moussa Sissoko: Poses with a Spur shirt

“I thought that was the player for us, what we needed at that moment. Then the picture was totally perfect.

“But still, without that player, the picture is very good.

“I am happy with the squad and the signings.”

Koeman added: “I think it is also now for everyone more difficult than ever to sign players – the money, the salaries, the agents.

“I think it is overall a difficult time, because if you see what happened on the last day, clubs signing players, doing big transfers – you can ask why today, why not three weeks ago?”

The Dutchman admitted Everton not having Champions League football to offer players – unlike Tottenham – was a problem.

“Yes, that’s true,” Koeman said.

“I had that experience when I was at Southampton (whom he left in June to become Everton boss).

“It is all up to this season, how we perform, because if we reach Europe, and that is our challenge, it will be more easy to get these kind of players.”

Koeman was speaking ahead of Monday’s Premier League clash with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Valencia could make his debut in that contest, while full-back Seamus Coleman is ready for his Everton comeback having recovered from an ankle problem and featured for the Republic of Ireland during the international break.

One player who will not be involved in the game on Wearside is Coleman’s club and international team-mate James McCarthy, with Koeman having revealed the midfielder has undergone surgery on his groin and is set to be out for three weeks.

The Association of Evangelicals in Liberia (AEL) is Tearfund’s main partner in the country, and has experience in water and sanitation, health education, food distribution and shelter projects.

During the upsurge of fighting in 2003, AEL constructed shelters for vulnerable families and improved conditions in camps for internally displaced people around Monrovia. They also distributed food items such as flour, lentils and oil. They are currently managing projects enabling families to return home after years of conflict, improving health and promoting peace. For example:

Resettlement Project: Dewoin District - AEL is helping displaced families to return to 12 villages in Bomi County in southwest Liberia. In this area there are major problems with poor health and a lack of food or the means to grow and store it. Houses and wells are also damaged. Most people drink from local creeks, which also serve as their latrine, leading to diarrhoeal diseases. This project is helping more than 7,500 people, the majority of whom left their homes during the conflict, to re-establish their lives.

AEL is repairing or building 12 wells and providing 100 new latrines. Community members are trained to provide education on hygiene and sanitation. They also tackle wider issues such as nutrition, HIV/AIDS and malaria.

In each village, a development committee is set up to include men, women, youth, elders, and people in positions of local leadership. The committee helps AEL to oversee the project work and look after the facilities such as wells.

Voter Education Project
AEL is encouraging communities and churches to get actively involved in elections.

Workshops are being used to train 160 church leaders, community leaders and school pupils on the election process and the need to actively participate in this. They then raise awareness in the community, particularly through schools and churches. Other community members are also being trained to monitor how the elections are carried out to help ensure that the process is free and fair.

Disaster Response
In January 2005 Tearfund sent a disaster response team to Liberia to work alongside AEL. As well as supporting our partner’s work, they have set up some independent projects in local villages. These include:
