Henry Cavill is Superman and Amy Adams is Lois Lane in Superman: Man of Steel. This was disclosed by entertainment sites, March 27, 2011.

Zack Snyder, director of the up-coming film, said that Adams is good for the part and had expressed satisfaction with his selection. Apparently, he found Adams perfect for the role of Lois Lane.

Adams was an Oscar nominee for Doubt, The Fighter and Junebug. Her other films include Enchanted in 2007, where she won Saturn Award for Best Actress.

She had guest roles in Charmed, Smallville, The West Wing and many more TV series.

The Superman film is scheduled to premiere on December 2012.

President Obama has recently returned from his trip from Latin America to find the door of the West Wing locked.  The door was locked because apparently he had arrived in the White House earlier than expected. This was reported by international news sites, March 26, 2011.

He walked to the West Wing and opened the door but found it locked. Just like any sane person the President skirted the building calmly to find an open door.

That was a response expected from a president. There are some similar incidents in which the president responded in consternation and irritation. Bravo for President Obama!

NATO or The North Atlantic Treaty Organization takes over the command of Operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya as US President Obama honors his statement of limiting participation in Libya. This was reported by international news sites, March 24, 2011.

Fogh Rasmussen, NATO secretary general has announced that the members of the NATO are committed to implement the no-fly zone as a UN resolution. This follows as Libya is attacked by the UN coalition forces when Gaddafi refused to comply with it.  The coalition was trying to protect the anti-government forces in Benghazi whom Gaddafi vowed to show “no mercy”.

There are no plans of deploying ground troops however by the US. This dissipated the doubts of some Americans.  The previous attacks came from the air and from ships strategically located at specified points in the globe.

Myanmar Earthquake

Myanmar earthquake last Thursday night, March 24, 2011 kills more than 60 people. The 6.8 magnitude quake’s epicenter is in the north of Tachileik along the Thai border. According to international reports, there are 65 people killed and 111 injured in the incident with constant updates as authorities still check the injuries in remote areas.

According to a United Nations official, the organization is now coordinating with the Myanmar authorities and Myanmar Red Cross Society to provide assistance to the victims which are mostly in the form of medicines.

As one of the poorest and underdeveloped countries in Asia, Myanmar is quite reluctant in giving information about the number of casualties as it is very sensitive to outside criticisms. The government controls the information about the recent quake that hit their country.

After the strong shaking of the ground, aftershocks followed. According to some residents, seeing the aftermath of the quake in Japan intensifies their fear.

If you would like to know if you have unclaimed millions, or even billions, stashed somewhere by forgotten bonds, bank accounts, or left by an unknown benefactor or ancestor, then you should hop over to ABC News where they have featured  GMA’s  “pointers” on how to find unclaimed cash, March 24, 2011. You can determine if you are one of those who have money lying around somewhere.

In Good Morning America they have tried it out.  Making sure that you that you do not have unclaimed money lying around gives you peace of mind. What a surprise it would be if you suddenly found out you have millions in bonds turned over to the government because a family member has forgotten all about it for one reason or another.
