Rio 2016s organising committee has confirmed that its appeal against an injunction blocking the release of public funding to pay for the Paralympic Games has been successful.Last week judge Marcia Maria Nunes granted a request by prosecutors to halt the transfer of any further state aid to Rio 2016s organising committee until it opened up its accounts to public scrutiny.This meant that £36 million from Rio city mayor Eduardo Paes and £29m in federal funding -- intended to fill the hole in Rio 2016s budget -- was held up.Rio 2016s lawyers lodged an appeal against this injunction on Monday and federal judge Guilherme Couto de Castro has now agreed that halting this money jeopardises the Paralympics, which would be a major embarrassment to Brazil.The ruling, however, does not affect the earlier request for Rio 2016s organisers to fully disclose their financial position, which could be equally embarrassing.Recent weeks have been dominated by reports of financial problems and cutbacks, with International Paralympic Committee president Sir Philip Craven describing the situation as precarious.The organisers are already nearly three weeks late in paying travel grants to national Paralympic committees, which could mean some of the poorer nations do not send teams at all.It was also revealed on Wednesday that only 12 percent of the available tickets for the Games, which start on September 7, have been sold -- an alarming figure considering how poor the actual attendances have been at the Olympics where nearly 90 per cent of the tickets have apparently been sold.

Air Force 1 Cheap .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up.TORONTO -- The camera caught Danny Koevermans face when he stood on the sideline, waiting to enter a game for the first time in nearly a year. It was unmistakable joy. "Goosebumps," Koevermans said of that moment. "Just a great feeling. The standing ovation from the fans. What Id been working for, and I was just so happy to finally be coming back on the pitch." The big Dutch striker made his season debut for Toronto FC on June 1, subbing into the game against visiting Philadelphia in the 86th minute in his first action since tearing his ACL last July. The 6-3 striker hasnt played since, sitting out Torontos 2-1 win over D.C. United last weekend that ended the teams 11-game winless streak. "Hopefully Ill get some more minutes in the coming weeks," Koevermans said at practice Friday. "Well see. Tomorrow in Houston maybe. You dont know." Toronto is in Houston on Saturday looking to put together back-to-back victories for the first time in nearly a year. Houston will be aiming to end their five game winless streak. Fans would love to see Koevermans back at full strength. The hard-charging forward was lethal in the air last season, and scored nine goals in 16 games before his injury dealt a huge blow to the team. TFC coach Ryan Nelsen said any player of Koevermans class "you want to get him on the field as much as you can." But its easier said than done to find minutes for Koevermans when Robert Earnshaw -- the teams leading scorer with six goals -- and Luis Silva have been playing well together. "And its just about getting the timing," Nelsen said. "An ACL injury, hes been away for close to a year now, so its not just going to fall into place just like that. Danny wants to get on the field but sometimes. . . the more he trains the more he gets used to it, the more he gets knocks, the better it is for him." Koevermans has made his home in Toronto since he was acquired in June of 2011 and did his rehab here. The 34-year-old said he never once doubted hed back playing at full strength. "The moment it happened, you just switch off, and switch on again to be back nine or 10 months later," Koeevermans said of his mindset.dddddddddddd Nelsen, who played his last game for Englands Queens Park Rangers in January before joining Toronto as coach, stayed late after practice to play small-sided games with Koevermans during the last few weeks of his recovery. "That was the best part of it, because youre back on the pitch. I love playing those games like theyre doing right now," Koevermans said, glancing over at a small-sided game Friday, featuring coaching staff and players who werent travelling to Houston. "I wish I was in there, because Ive missed a lot of months. The frustrating part is just to start, but when everything gets stronger, and gets better, thats the fun part, because you get to touch the ball again, run again, get some goals again. Thats the best part of it, and its only waiting for the comeback. "Maybe we could just sign (Nelsen), I think hes still fit," Koevermans added, laughing. Nelsen said he struggled in those games against Koevermans. "I was blowing a gasket even when I was marking (retired defender) Jimmy Brennan, let alone a player of Danny Koevermans class," Nelsen joked. Toronto -- 2-7-5 and ninth in the Eastern Conference -- faces a tough test at Houston. The Dynamo is 6-5-4 and fourth in the East and until a loss last month against Kansas City had gone a whopping 36 straight games at home without a loss. Toronto may be better prepared for the weather Saturday. Last year in Houston, Toronto let a 3-1 halftime lead disappear as they wilted in the 29 C heat that with the humidity felt closer to 39 C. The game ended 3-3. Saturdays temperature is expected to be about 34 C. The team practised in the hot sun at their training base in Downsview on Friday afternoon, with the temperature reaching about 26 C. "Guys like the heat. The hotter the better. More fun," Nelsen said -- but added Houston could still have an advantage. "I think (the Dynamo) are just used to it, so whether its freezing cold or boiling hot, you get used to the climate in those conditions, used to how the ball bounces, run of the green and all that fun stuff. Any homefield advantage is an advantage." ' ' '
