"The 1-80 Mississippi Bridge 4s not the same type of structure as the one that failed last year in Minnesota," Mr. Ryan said.

Jay-Z confirms split with Def Jam NEW YORK (AP) There will be no encore for Jay-Z and Def Jam. The rapper confirms reports that he has left the record company where he made most of his biggest hits and went from artist to president, and back to artist again. In an interview with the Web site RapRadar.com, he thanks the label's executives and calls his time at Def Jam "a unique and fulfilling experience." Last year, Jay-Z and Live Nation struck a wide-ranging deal that included touring, publishing, and albums.

Jay-Z had owed Def Jam one more record.

The band says the giant superstore chain refused to stock its latest CD, "21st Century Breakdown," because Wal-Mart wanted the album edited for language and content; and they refused. "Wal-Mart's become the biggest retail outlet in the country, but they won't carry our record because they wanted us to censor it," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said in a recent interview. While Wal-Mart seUs CDs from acts known for raunchy content, including Eminem's latest, they offer customers the "clean" version of those CDs, which are edited for content that may be objectionable. But in Armstrong's view, "There's nothing dirty about our record." Richard Thomas joins cast of David Mamet's 'Race' NEW YORK (AP) Richard Thomas will co-star with the previously announced James Spader in the world premiere of David Mamet's Broadways bound play "Race."

Mr. O'Neil says an expedited DNA analysis, will likely take about two weeks. 1 The coroner says shreds of blue jeans and a small amount of U.S. currency were found along with the remains. The discovery prompted HOW YOU CAN REACH speculation the remains were related to the local long-running, high-profile missing persons cases of Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic.

This is the second time Mr. Pregracke has found human remains in the course of his river cleanup efforts. "We found another one in Fort Madison, Iowa, a few years back," he said. Mr. Pregracke would not say whether he thought the remains were related to the Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic case, but said finding the remains was a good thing.

"Whatever it is, it's going to bring closure to some families," he said. that even, Freddie Mercury would have been proud of." In Ottawa, Canada, Lambert fan Alison Edgar was doubly upset first, that Lambert lost, and second, that she hadn'tf been able to help. As a Canadian, she couldn't vote. i'; "It's very frustrating to have to rely on others," said Edgar, 34. She'd spent the evening commiserating online with fellow Lambert fans.

"There are a lot of sad people out there," she sighed. And why did she think Lambert lost? "I have a feeling Adam is a bit too radical for some Americans," she said. She also echoed a common theory: that fans of Danny Gokey, the bespectacled, understated church music director who came in third, had thrown their weight behind Allen. "I think some Kris and Danny fans got together and said, 'Adam's too weird, let's get him Edgar said. Certainly there have been unkind references on blogs to Lambert's attire, which ranged from relatively tame dark jeans and leather jackets to Wednesday's other-wordly ensemble of cage-like wings and elevator boots.

(When the band Kiss joined in, though, looking like medieval warriors in Kabuki makeup and platform shoes, Lambert suddenly looked underdressed.) I I I Michael Moore's new documentary to open Oct. 2 NEW YORK (AP) Michael Moore's documentary about the economic crisis will hit theaters on Oct. 2. The announcement was made Thursday by Overture Films and Paramount Vantage. The film is not yet titled.

Moore earlier planned to make it more broadly about America as an empire. Instead, the documentary explores the causes of the global economic meltdown. Moore has called it "the biggest swindle in American history" The division between rich and poor is old territory for Moore, who broke through 20 years ago with "Roger Me" about General Motors closing a plant in his hometown of Flint, Mich. Moore won the Academy Award for best documentary in 2003 for "Bowling for Columbine." Buddy Miller leads nods for Americana music awards NASHVILLE, Tenn.

As for the also-rans, Clay Aiken, who lost to Studdard, became a much bigger star.

Chris Daughtry, who came in fourth the year Hicks won, sold more than 1 million copies of his self-titled album after five weeks, the fastest-selling debut rock album in history. And just ask Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson, who came in seventh in season 3, if there's life after an "Idol" loss. For now, all that may be cold comfort to Lambert fans, many of whom woke up Thursday morning feeling bereft. "I know Adam will have a great career, but I'm upset on principle," said Janet Metz, a stage actress and singer. "Talent did not win out." Her husband, Michael Un-ger, is also a fan.

"Besides his charisma, Adam's vocal range is amazing," said Unger, who directs both theater and opera. "He hits those notes without straining his voice.
