Read a 9-Year-Old's Letter to Obama About Putting a Woman on U.S. Currency — and His Response
http://time.com/3765227/woman-us-currency-obama-letter/
"Why don't women have coins or dollar bills with their faces on it?"
The little girl who asked Obama last year why there aren't any women on U.S. bills has finally gotten a letter back from the President — and she's invited to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. President Obama made waves last year when he mentioned he had received a letter from a little girl asking him to put some women on U.S. currency, which he called a "pretty good idea." That letter was from Sofia, a Massachusetts girl who was just finishing third grade at the time. "I was studying Ann Hutchinson, who stood up for women's rights," she says. "Almost everyone who chose a boy, on their poster they had pictures of different dollar bills or coins with their person on it. So I noticed, why don't women have coins or dollar bills with their faces on it?" Sofia, now 9, knew immediately what she had to do. "I just came home from school and said, 'I need to write to the president.'" Sofia's mother provided her letter exclusively to TIME:

For a while, Sofia didn't hear anything back from the President. She says she "sort of forgot about it" until her dad showed her the President had mentioned her letter in a speech. "I was really excited about it, because I thought that maybe it would actually happen," she says. In the months since Sofia wrote to Obama, a campaign to put a woman on the $20 bill has gone viral. The W20 movement is hosting an online poll so the public can vote on which woman should replace Andrew Jackson. The group plans to petition Obama and the Treasury Secretary to make it happen. Almost 220,000 people have voted in the online poll so far. And Sofia, who is now in fourth grade, is a junior ambassador for the campaign. Even though she's a longtime fan of Ann Hutchinson, Sofia wants to see Rosa Parks on the $20. "What she did was really important," she says. "If it wasn't for her, we'd still be segregated today." She got her whole class to vote in the online poll, and her third grade teacher got her class to vote as well. Last month, Sofia finally got a personalized letter back from the President, along with an invitation to attend this year's White House Easter Egg Roll. Here's what President Obama wrote to her:

Apple CEO Tim Cook Urges GWU Graduates To Develop Moral Compass
The Huffington Post | By Irina Ivanova
Posted: 05/17/2015 3:36 pm EDT Updated: 5 hours ago
Apple CEO Tim Cook urged graduating George Washington University students to follow their values and find a job that helps them do good in a commencement speech delivered Sunday. Cook talked of justice and injustice in a speech that paid homage to Martin Luther King Jr., Robert F. Kennedy and Jimmy Carter, delivered to a crowd on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., VentureBeat reported. The university expected about 25,000 people to attend the commencement exercises, according to the outlet.
"To be a Jedi is to truly know the value of friendship, of compassion, and of loyalty, and these are values important in a marriage. The Sith think inward, only of themselves. When you find someone that you can connect in a selfless way, then you are on the path of the Light, and the Dark side will not take hold of you. With this goodness in your heart, you can be married."

For Lucasfilm, the Way of Its Force Lies in Its 'Star Wars' Fans
By BROOKS BARNESAPRIL 17, 2015
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Even in the social media age, some movie studios still see fans as zoo animals to be force-fed: We, the cool film people, will tell you, the easily manipulated consumers, what to like. Other Hollywood companies have developed a true appreciation for the geek masses, but they are still learning how to hone a strategy.
And then there is the "Star Wars" studio.
At a time when creating — and controlling — fan communities has become crucial to the success of all kinds of movies, the company that remains the most skilled at that art is Lucasfilm. Unlike most big studios, it has a full-time head of fan relations. Employees respond to handwritten letters (yes, they still flow in, mostly from children), and pump out exclusive tidbits on six social networks each day, with materials lined up a month in advance.
The heart of Lucasfilm's fan operation is a biennial gathering called "Star Wars" Celebration, the 10th installment of which started here on Thursday and is expected to draw 45,000 amateur Jedis, Wookiees and Stormtroopers over four days. "How many out there waited all night long?" Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, asked the crowd inside the Anaheim Convention Center as the event began.
