Hi, Ellen! Lots of things going on here... I'll leave a comment about "City of God" later... Check out these two stories:
Little dress makes big trouble in Brazil (CNN, 11/10/2009) - http://tinyurl.com/y9oompb
Outage leaves millions without power in Brazil (Reuters, 11/10/2009) - http://tinyurl.com/yashazx
I had no electricity until a little ago, but the situation is still complicated... Have a great rest of the week! Hugs from Brazil

To know a little more about Rio's situation I recomend you this post: Ensuring a Powerful Legacy for Rio's Favelas.  It's from young American who lived there and writes a blog about her experiences.  Bye, have a nice weekend!

Marcelo Melowrote:
Well, your friend is right when he said things like that happen all the time in some places in Brazil. And you are also right thinking that something must be done now before it's too late. Two of the main problems are the drug dealers have several kinds of heavy fire weapons and part of the police in Rio de Janeiro is contaminated by corruption. Meanwhile these scenes of our domestic terrorism will continue to be shown on the media.

Yes, it's a hard situation, Ellen.  I hope all your friends are safe there in Rio.  Updated version of the news here: Olympics’ Rio do Janeiro faces a seven year battle to clean the city - MercoPress, 10.21.2009.  And here goes the amazing video of the police helicopter they shoot down last Saturday: Brazilian gang shoots down police helicopter during drug fight - Citizentube, 10.20.2009.  Images from Brazilian TV SBT (Júnior Alves caught on camera police's helicopter falling on Rio de Janeiro).

Things are bad in Rio lately. Check this news from CNN: "Rio fortifies streets after deadly shootout" - http://tinyurl.com/yh2bsm7

That's another proof that we should keep an eye on our politicians about the Olympic Games in Brazil. It's less than 7 years, but I really don't think this sad relity will change until there...

Have a nice week, Ellen!
