NITEROI, Brazil -- They are all gone. The Evangelical church where worshippers were praying. A day care center where kids were playing. The pizza parlor where a family was eating.
"The workings of a women's bra are a mystery for many men," he said.Rio officials said they are going to step up forced evictions of slum residents living in at-risk areas. Mayor Eduardo Paes announced that 1,500 families are going to be removed from their homes in at least two Rio slums, and that more evictions are likely.Niteroi recovery operations were moving slowly: The wet, steep terrain posed a continued threat to anyone trapped in the wreckage and to emergency crews as well, said lead firefighter Alves Souza.2. Salumi (individual cuts or combination boards with cheese)A story in Il Giornale claimed: "Pizza, one of the few symbols of Naples that endures ... is hit by the concrete suspicion that it could be baked with wood from coffins."Rio state health secretary Sergio Cortes said it was hard to say how many people were buried in the latest slide. "A worse-case scenario is 200," he told The Associated Press. "We know that about 60 houses were buried."Faria said she was certain people were buried inside the Morro Bumba slum's Assembly of God church, which collapsed during nightly services.Associated Press writer Tales Azzoni in Sao Paulo contributed to this report.The death toll surpasses that of flooding and mudslides in the southern state of Santa Catarina in 2008, which killed nearly 130 people and displaced about 80,000."I had just picked up my 10-year-old son from the day care. We walked down the hill to the street, and within 10 minutes, my community collapsed," said Patricia Faria, 28, crying as she watched heavy machinery dump the remains of her life into a waiting truck. "All I have left is what you see on me -- and my son. Thank God, I have my son."Officials from Rio state's Civil Defense department said that at least 14,000 people were forced from their homes by the mudslides and that potential slides threatened at least 10,000 other houses in the city.Factors other than foodThe remainder of the menu is widely variable, with some dishes tasting much better than they sound. A few, such as the pasta with chicken livers and the oxtail ragu, give the opposite effect.5. Trofie (hand-rolled pasta strings with pesto and artichokes)The competition was won by a woman who successfully unfastened eight bras in just 21 seconds.GUANGZHOU DAILY"In our experience, it's an instant death," Pedro Machado, undersecretary of Rio state's Civil Defense department, said of the victims buried by landslides.6. Goat cheese tortelloni with fava beans, tomatoes and guancialeTop essential dishesThe tall, wide room is more spacious because of a wall of windows looking out onto the rococo facade of Jesuit Church. Unclothed, rustic tables built of wood planks topped with jars of long breadsticks stand a bit too close to one another throughout the room, which is divided by massive square columns and split levels.The pizza could be called the best of all time locally. The thin crust is charred here and there by the hot fire, topped with an offbeat selection of ingredients.
