Pan-Am Games - will Rio be ready?

[tandfman]

NYTimes article reminds me of what we were reading a few months before the Athens Olympics, which of course turned out just fine.

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 21 — At the edge of Copacabana Beach, a giant electronic display is counting down the days to the start of the Pan-American Games here. Whether the organizers and all of the venues will be ready on July 13, when the clock strikes zero and the 17-day competition starts, is another matter altogether.
