RIO DE JANEIRO -- One of Brazils top security officials says the political turmoil that has brought repeated changes to key government positions will not affect security at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Andrei Rodrigues, responsible for overseeing Brazils security at special events, said Wednesday there will be no impact on the games despite staff turnover triggered by impeachment proceedings against suspended President Dilma Rousseff.We are absolutely sure of the quality of the operation we are assembling, Rodrigues said. We already did it in the (football) World Cup two years ago, this is no rhetoric. Rio does successful events every year, this will be no different.The Olympics open in just over five weeks. Brazils plan is to have 85,000 security personnel on the streets -- one of the biggest policing operations in the history of the games.This week acting President Michel Temer replaced the leader of the countrys intelligence agency, which is responsible for tracking terrorism threats.Brazilian media reports also claim that the head of the federal police could soon be replaced.Lawmakers are now saying that Rousseffs final impeachment trial should end after the Olympics, which would be a relief for organizers who feared mass protests -- for and against her -- during the games.Rodrigues, a federal police officer who did the same job under Rousseff in the 2014 World Cup, told journalists that his new colleagues have enough experience to deal with the biggest event in sports.Rodrigues recognized that Rio state governments financial quagmire is the greatest problem for public security during the Olympics, but insisted the issue will be solved in good time before the games begin on Aug. 5.Francisco Dornelles, Rios acting governor, warned Monday that budget shortfalls could compromise security -- and that the Olympics could be a big failure.On Tuesday the chief organizer of the Rio Olympics said security was his top concern, well ahead of the Zika virus, which is linked to birth defects in babies. CEO Sidney Levy pointed to lone wolf attackers as the biggest risk to the games. Vans Old Skool Pink .

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Coming off a tight victory and a return to the Top 10, No. 8 Wisconsin has every right to feel good about itself.The Badgers can also be excused if theyre a little nervous given who they play on Saturday.Wisconsin visits Northwestern, a team that has given the Badgers all sorts of trouble in recent years.Its going to be a tough, tough challenge, Wisconsin running back Corey Clement said. Were ready to embrace the opportunity to go into their stadium and come out with a victory.The Badgers (6-2, 3-2 Big Ten, No. 8 CFP) beat then-No. 7 Nebraska 23-17 in overtime last week after letting a lead slip away in regulation, and came away with a program-record third win against a Top 10 team this season.It vaulted them back into the Top 10 and put them a game behind the Cornhuskers in the Big Ten West race along with Northwestern (4-4, 3-2) and two other teams.Theyre facing a different challenge this week, against a team that has given them fits in recent years.The Wildcats have won four of six after a 0-2 start and nearly pulled off an upset at Ohio State last week, settling for a late field goal after driving to the 3 and losing 24-20.Were an average football team, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said. Thats what we look like on tape. Saturdays another example of that. We had ample opportunities in all three phases, and we were really inconsistent fundamentally. I thought we were really inconsistent as a team in our effort, in our strain to not only finish, but to win in some one-on-one battles. I think that cost us in the long run.Here are some things to know as Wisconsin meets Northwestern:WISCONSIN BADGERED: Wisconsin has had its difficulties with Northwestern in recent years, dropping six of their past 10 meetings.The Badgers have dropped four in a row at Ryan Field since a win in 1999 and had no luck either at Camp Randall Stadium last year.Wisconsin lost that game after three touchdowns were negated by calls from the officials, who had snowballs thrown at them as they left the field.ONE OR THE OTHER: WWisconsin coach Paul Chryst says freshman Alex Hornibrook will start against Northwestern, though he still apparently intends to play backup quarterback Bart Houston, too.dddddddddddd Hornibrook took over from Houston as the starter in Week 4. Houston has been playing more the last couple weeks in a designed move that is supposed to give the offense a change of pace. Houston, a senior, is more mobile. But the results of the two-quarterback system have been mixed. Houston was the quarterback for the overtime drive last week against Nebraska that led to the Badgers go-ahead touchdown run.THORSONS RISE: Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson is settling in after a shaky start.He has 10 touchdowns and two interceptions in the past four games after throwing for five TDs and getting picked off four times in the first four. He has also thrown for more than 250 yards the past three games and ranks third in the Big Ten in passing.ON THE LINEBACKERS: The Badgers keep finding productive backups to step in for injured linebackers. Ryan Connelly was named Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week last week for his 11-tackle performance against Nebraska. He helped fill in for leading tackler Jack Cichy, who is out for the year with a torn pectoral muscle. Leon Jacobs also had 11 tackles in his most extensive action inside to help replace Cichy. The Badgers long-term plan to rotate players in spring ball and training camp has been paying off with productivity. They might have to dip into their depth again since outside linebacker T.J. Watt was questionable at midweek with a right shoulder injury. Garrett Dooley and Zack Baun would fill in for Watt if he cant go.RUSH FOR MILESTONE: Justin Jackson needs 132 yards to become the first Northwestern player to rush for 1,000 in three straight seasons. The junior is the Big Tens second-leading rusher this year.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
