RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- At least 200 people were buried and feared dead under the latest landslide to hit a slum in Rio de Janeiro's metropolitan area, authorities said Thursday.
If confirmed, the deaths would raise the toll sharply from the 153 people already known to have died this week in slides triggered by record rains.

Sarah Palin at Campaign Rally for Michelle Bachmann
Once you get past looking at her helmet of hair, have a look at the woman behind her left shoulder. It's not 100% clear, but the expression on her face looks seriously pained. Like she's being held hostage by some crazies.
Palin and Bachmann: Between them their collective IQs barely reach room temperature.
Mike Lynche Survives, Siobhan Does Too
OK, so I blew it on my AI elimination guess this week. Siobhan must have the nerd gurl following because her singing is really the pits.
Mike, who can actually sing and perform, ended up at the bottom of the draw, but was then saved by the judges, thus prolonging our collective agony for yet another round of cuts.
Personally, I think Mike has a very fine voice and may arguably be the most polished and dynamic performer of the remaining crew, but he's obviously not hitting the right notes with the voting public. At least this week.
It's perhaps fitting that Dancing with the Stars finally beat AI in the ratings, no doubt boosted by the Gosselin bump. And speaking of Gosselin, her performance to Lady Gaga's song was quite possibly the world's worst display of dancing seen since the legendary Elaine dance on Seinfeld. The important difference, of course, being Elaine was doing comedy and Kate was not.
Anyway, next week I'm sure we'll see more boring singing on AI made even all the more unpleasant by the useless commentary from the insipid four they call the judges.
