Rio 2016

Brazil's life expectancy up five months in one year
Brazil's life expectancy rate increased over 2005-2006, according to IBGE (Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute). The country's average rose from 71.9 to 72.3 years

IBGE said the increase was a result of improvements in items like availability of health services, vaccination campaigns, medical advancements and higher education levels.
Women's life expectancy is higher than men's (76.1 and 68.5 years, respectively).

The federal district of Brasilia registered the highest life expectancy in the country - 75.1 years - followed by Santa Catarina (75) and Rio Grande do Sul (74.8).
Compared with 1960, when the average life expectancy in Brazil was 54.6 years, figures show an increase of nearly 18 years

While life expectancy went up, infant mortality rate fell in the 2005-2006 period (from 25.8 deaths per 1,000 live births to 24.9) - down 64 percent from 1980, when total deaths amounted to 69.1 per 1,000 live births.
Pan American games leave a legacy for the security of Rio de Janeiro
RIO DE JANEIRO - The Pan American Games Rio 2007, held on July 13 to 29, left to the city of Rio de Janeiro an important legacy in the security area. The Public National Security Department (Senasp) decided to transfer to Rio de Janeiro Government 500 out of the 700 vehicles that reinforced the police patrolling of the city during the Games.
These 500 units will be added to other 632 new cars acquired in September by the State Government to be used by the Military Police.
With these new vehicles, almost 100% of the Metropolitan Region fleet will be renewed up to the end of the year. Other 200 vehicles used in Rio 2007 will be distributed through other cities of the country.
Wireless internet to reach Copacabana beach this year
Cariocas (the people of Rio) will benefit from a new telecommunications feature from May onwards as a Wireless Internet (Wi-Fi) service will be implemented in the Copacabana Beach and Baixada Fluminense areas as a result of a Digital Seashore Project initiative. Free Internet access will be provided on a sign-up basis to users who have a laptop computer or any other Wi-Fi compatible apparatus. According to Rio de Janeiro Secretary for Science and Technology Alexandre Cardoso, a statewide Wi-Fi network should be put in place in the next two years.

For the Secretary, the travel and retail trade industries will benefit from the novelty. "The Wi-Fi technology will enable tourists in Copacabana to take cell phone pictures on the beach and send them directly to someone back in their home countries. In the Baixada Fluminense area, retail trade will definitely move into the Internet era, boosting on-line sales", said Alexandre.

Plans include expanding the network around the Guanabara Bay area and reaching the rest of the State in two years, at a total cost of R$ 40 million. Funds will be provided by a Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Faperj) and Ministry of Science and Technology partnership.

The idea is based both on New York City's experience of reduced violence rates - 30 percent - following the implementation of a Wi-Fi network, and the project that has earned Piraí, Rio de Janeiro, international awards for providing citywide Wi-Fi connection.

Alexandre Cardoso also said, at least during 2008, the system should be maintained by the Government at a cost of R$ 50 thousand. A future private sector partnership, however, could be considered.
Brasil é um dos destinos preferidos para investimentos
RIO DE JANEIRO - Um dos países aspirantes a receber os Jogos Olímpicos de 2016, o Brasil está entre as cinco nações preferidas por empresas multinacionais para realização de investimentos no triênio 2007-2009, de acordo com pesquisa da Agência das Nações Unidas para o Comércio e o Desenvolvimento (Unctad).

O tamanho do mercado interno e a expansão econômica brasileira são citados pelos empresários como as principais razões para investimento no Brasil. A China lidera a lista, seguida pela Índia. Os dois países são os mais populosos do mundo.

A possibilidade do Brasil ser a sede da Copa do Mundo de 2014 e dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016 aumenta a perspectiva de investimentos estrangeiros no país, que poderiam ser aplicados na construção e reforma de instalações esportivas, aumento da capacidade hoteleira, obras de infra-estrutura, entre outros.
Federal Government funds project that will transform traffic in rio
The Road Arch, a project intended to improve traffic in the greater Rio de Janeiro, is about to become real. The President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva approved last Monday, 12th, the budget of R$ 100 million to Rio de Janeiro State Government to start the construction works. The project is included in the proposal of Rio de Janeiro to be the host city for the 2016 Olympic Games.

The project will smoothen the traffic on access roads taking to the greater Rio de Janeiro, removing most heavy vehicles from Avenida Brasil, Ponte Rio-Niterói and metropolitan sections of Rio-São Paulo (BR-116) and Rio-Petrópolis (BR-040) highways, improving, thus, the road traffic in the city. In the event that the Olympic Games in 2016 are to be held in the city, access to sport venues will be easier for athletes, delegates, tourists and people living in the city.

The initial budget granted by the Federal Government will be used by the Rio de Janeiro State Government, responsible for the execution of the project, for bidding procedures and start of construction works, which will start in January 2008, according to the Vice-Governor of Rio de Janeiro, Luiz Fernando Pezão. The constructions are planned to be completed within months, with total investments of R$ 802 million.

During the grant funding ceremony in Brasília, Lula and the Governor of Rio de Janeiro, Sérgio Cabral, showed their enthusiasm with the works, highlighting its relevance for the State of Rio de Janeiro. The President stated "the project will change Rio de Janeiro's look". According to Cabral, the Road Arch will allow economic and social gains to the State.

"The Metropolitan Arch will be extremely important for the development of greater Rio de Janeiro's economy. Rio de Janeiro is developing a lot. It will represent a great change in the quality of life of the people who live in Greater Rio de Janeiro and in downtown. It will generate new flows for the distribution of products, additional alternatives for investments and generate jobs", he said.

Rio de Janeiro State Sports Secretary, Eduardo Paes, emphasized the benefits of the project for the sport.

"This was a solid action of government levels which, besides generating a permanent legacy for the city, will fulfill the commitment of Rio de Janeiro to be the host city of 2016 Olympic Games".

The Arch will be a 70,9 km, double-lane highway, which will cross the cities of Itaboraí, Guapimirim, Magé, Duque de Caxias, Nova Iguaçu, Japeri, Seropédica and Itaguaí. The work will enable large investments in the state; such as the Petrochemical Center of Itaboraí and Companhia Siderúrgica do Atlântico, in Itaguaí. Besides benefiting other job-generation centers, such as the Gas-Chemical Plant of Duque de Caxias and Reduc (Duque de Caxias Refinery).
President of rio 2016 committee celebrates the choice of brazil as the host country for the world cup 2014
The president of Rio 2016 Committee and the Brazilian Olympic Committee (BOC), Carlos Arthur Nuzman, cheered the choice of Brazil as the host for the Soccer World Cup in 2014, announced this Tuesday, the 30th, in Zurich (Switzerland). In Nuzman's opinion, FIFA decision reinforces the Brazilian desire to host the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. "The World Cup in Brazil reinforces the Brazilian bidding to the Site of the Olympic Games 2016 in all aspects. The investments to be done in both events are complementary and will provide Brazil with an opportunity of repeating successful experiences of countries which organized the two events in a sequence, such as Mexico (1968/1970), Germany (1972/1974) and the United States (1994/1996)", said BOC's President.

For Nuzman, when choosing Brazil to host the Cup 2014, FIFA expresses a clear demonstration of trust in the country's capacity to successfully organize great sports events. "The formalization of Brazil as the site for the World Cup 2014 shows the importance of the country in the world's sports scenario and highlights the trust FIFA deposits in Brazil's organization and accomplishment power. I am very happy with the announcement made in Zurich. An event like this will only bring benefits and legacies to the host country and to the cities hosting the games. Brazil has been showing its capacity to organize great international sports events and certainly the World Cup 2014 will be a landmark in the history of the world soccer", he said.
