On Friday, May 2nd, the romantic comedy Made of Honor released. It's worth seeing.

The movie starts off as Tom (Patrick Dempsey) is in college and 10 years pass by and he now lives in New York with the millions he has made from his paper-cup sleeve invention. Tom is a man who has a ton of women and also a ton of rules about dating them too. Hannah (Michelle Monaghan), a pretty director of acquisitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Tom are best friends who have known each other ever since college.

When Hannah tells Tom that she must go to Scotland regarding work for six weeks, Tom whines replying, “How can I live without you?”

The end of Tuesday, April 29 marked the official conclusion of the STAR testing week. Logan administrators and students were able to breathe a sigh of relief as the final bell rang.

"Yes! I'm so glad it's over, I will never have to take STAR testing ever again," said Alexis Cassilles, a junior.

Feelings were not mutual for the seniors who were not required to take the test.

"I loved coming to school late, I got to catch up on my beauty sleep," Jessica Yano, a senior.

NEW DELHI — With the death toll in cyclone-ravaged Myanmar passing 22,000 and foreign aid only beginning to reach victims, anger is surging against the isolated country's longtime military rulers, analysts said Tuesday.

But what form that frustration might take — and whether it could lead to the political change long sought by protesting monks and democracy campaigners — remains unclear as thousands in the southeast Asian nation struggle simply to cope with the aftermath of the disaster.

"People in general are quite frustrated and angry, but I cannot say whether that will lead to street protests," said Soe Myint, editor of the Mizzima News, a New Delhi-based Myanmar news publication run by exiles. "People right now are fighting just for their survival."

From wikipedia:
Dr. William Moulton Marston (May 9, 1893 – May 2, 1947) was an American psychologist, feminist theorist, inventor, and comic book author who created the character Wonder Woman. Two women, his wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston and Olive Byrne, (who lived with the couple in a polyamorous relationship), served as exemplars for the character and greatly influenced her creation.

He was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2006.
Early life and career

Born in Saugus, Massachusetts, William Marston was educated at Harvard University, receiving his B.A. in 1915, an L.L.B. in 1918, and a Ph.D. in Psychology in 1921. After teaching at American University in Washington D.C. and Tufts University in Medford MA, Marston traveled to Universal Studios in California in 1929, where he spent a year as Director of Public Services.
