DOT: Washington bridge could be out for months
Skagit Valley Herald: It may be months before a replacement bridge can be built across the Skagit River in Washington, the state Department of Transportation spokeswoman said today.
The bridge collapsed Thursday, sending two vehicles into the river. All three occupants suffered minor injuries.
A truck marked as an oversized load struck several trusses on the I-5 bridge near Mount Vernon, Wash., before it collapsed Thursday, a Washington State Patrol trooper said.
So far, the State Patrol does not know if the man was speeding. His name is not being released because he has not been charged with a crime. The incident remains under investigation, Francis said.
“He gave a voluntary blood draw, and it appears he will be released after he is done with his statements and interviews,” Francis said at about 1 a.m. Friday.
The bridge was rated in 2000 and 2010 as functionally obsolete, or outdated, state Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kris Olsen said.

The Devil’s Rejects, 2005
So a few nights ago I watch House of 1,000 Corpses and wrote up some thoughts on it. Some people did not appreciate my pointing out that Rob Zombie attempted a bit too much with that movie and was no able to live up to the types of horror he was trying to mimic. Even though by Zombie’s own admission the film is cartoony, but you know… whatever we all have our favorites.
I was still excited for this film though, had people paid attention to my review they would have noticed that I said I like House of 1,000 Corpses I just felt had it tried to do a little less it would have succeeded at what was left.
This movie is proof of that. A lot different from House, in almost every way including it’s inspiration. The only two things that really inspired both movies were 70s exploitation films. This film forgets about monster movies and such and instead finds it’s other inspiration in the violent “modern westerns” as some call them (also Road Movies).
What’s left is really good. Much better story telling, acting, directing, cinematography, and much better scares. The scope of what this movie is trying to do feels a bit smaller and the end result is what is left shines a lot more.
It’s violent, gory, intense, funny, uncomfortable, smart, and all around good. It feels much more inspired and focused giving a very very solid end result.
As it is Rob Zombie it is rough at times, but totally worth it. He also does an excellent job of calling out the issue of the “real monsters”. Plus with Baby, and Otis maturing (in character development) they become very dynamic characters. This is nice because they aren’t nearly as lost in comparison to the larger than life Spaulding.
Where I liked House I love this movie. Both are totally worth watching but this one is just much more solid over all.

New Books in New York. We all know that love is a battlefield, but it isn’t the only one. There are the battlefields of great commanders from Alexander to Napoleon, the battlefields of business people with their slick suits and confusing terminology, the battlefields of religious leaders who fight to make their values part of larger society, and the battlefields of musicians who seek to revolutionize culture and the world.

Web-Based Communication and Learning Designs: Senators: Give Us the Freedom to Choose Our Cable Channels 
Sen. John McCain has introduced the Television Consumer Freedom Act, a bill that would allow us to pay for cable channels individually, giving us more control over what we choose to buy and watch.
Forced bundling is a symptom of our dysfunctional, competition-free cable system in which content providers (ESPN, Fox News, HBO) collude with cable companies (Comcast, Time Warner Cable) to push us into paying for hundreds of channels we don’t want — and to keep our cable and broadband bills climbing higher and higher.
Sen. McCain’s bill wouldn’t outlaw bundling. But it would provide incentives for cable companies to “unbundle” their cable packages — and offer an “a la carte” option in which consumers would pay only for the channels they want.
Tell Your Senators to Support the Television Consumer Freedom Act.
