More, heavier vehicles take toll on U.S. roads
WASHINGTON - Just like Americans themselves, the nation’s roads and bridges are carrying much more weight today.
Added to an aging and deteriorating highway system, that means more safety problems, delays and repair costs for drivers, experts said.

"just like Americans themselves........."..........Christ!.......so I am supposed to think that fat asses and suvs contributed to this collapse?..........on this note I have noticed just in my area in MD that just about every bridge and overpass all of a sudden has men working on it.......strange you say?......na.........just every city and county official from here to Anchorage doesnt want his or her name on the next collapsed bridge......makes me feel safe and fuzzy while i sit in traffic.

Sharon Wright, 23, and 22-year-old Peter McKenzie-Seaton were both given life terms for killing Leticia Wright and each will serve at least 23 years.
Leticia had 100 separate injuries when she died and the judge at Bradford Crown Court said she had suffered "deliberate and grotesque cruelty".

every day I read something like this.....when do you think we will learn enough about violence to stop it?......looking at that little girl's beautiful innocent face makes me want it to be tomorrow.
City Horse-Drawn Produce Vendor Stable Condemned
One of the city's few remaining stables for horses that pull Arabber wagons was condemned by city officials, who told the produce vendors they must vacate the building by Thursday afternoon.
Arabbers have been a part of Baltimore street life for decades, peddling produce and seafood on horse-drawn carriages. However, less than a dozen arabbers work the streets of Baltimore today.....................(read more)
