Interstate 35W bridge collapses into Mississippi River in Minneapolis
The bridge is just off the University of Minneapolis campus. The failure is completely catastrophic -- from one end to another of the river. The bridge is outfitted with an automatic de-icing system and was undergoing resurfacing. The river is kept at a 9-foot depth for navigation. One of the local community websites is full of comments and links, and someone who claims to live next door to the bridge says there's no reason to believe it was caused by a bomb.

Former teachers' union leader says kids shouldn't enter school before age 7
That might be a little late, but it's really preposterous that so many politicians are getting away with proposals to start kids in programs as early as ages three or four. Earlier school just doesn't seem to be the right answer for fixing juvenile delinquency. Better parenting does.
