<b><i>Traffic flows…<br></b></i> Traffic streams across the completed lanes of the new Colorado River Bridge north of Moab. The Utah Department of Transportation opened the two-lane bridge to traffic on Monday. When the project is complete, the bridge will consist of four lanes – two northbound lanes and two southbound. Construction crews are now working to dismantle the old river bridge while also building a construction platform that will be used to build the northbound section of the bridge. Photo by Tom Taylor

Lesbian teen back at Miss. school after prom flap (AP)

This 2009 photo released by Constance McMillen's family via The ACLU of Mississippi, taken in Fulton, Miss., shows Constance McMillen, 18, a student at the Itawamba County Agricultural High School. The American Civil Liberties Union had demanded she be allowed to bring her girlfriend, who is also a student at the school to the April 2, 2010, prom. The school board met, Wednesday, March 10, 2010, and issued a statement announcing it wouldn't host the prom at the Itawamba County Agricultural High School. (AP Photo/The McMillen Family via The ACLU of Mississippi) NO SALES.AP - An 18-year-old Mississippi lesbian student whose school district canceled her senior prom rather than allow her to escort her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo said she got some unfriendly looks from classmates when she reluctantly returned to campus Thursday.

Conan O'Brien will take his show to theaters (AP)

FILE - In this April 13, 2008 file photo, Conan O'Brien appears on stage at Comedy Central's 'Night of Too Many Stars' special in New York. In early March 2010, Sarah Killen had three Twitter followers. A week later, she has 20,000 — as well as a new iMac computer and offers to help pay for a dress and drinks for her wedding. The unsuspecting rural Michigan woman has one out-of-work late-night talk show host to thank for her newfound online popularity — Conan O'Brien. O'Brien decided last week to pick Killen as the only person he would follow on Twitter, turning the 19-year-old's life upside down. (AP Photo/Peter Kramer)AP - Without a TV show to do every night, Conan O'Brien is taking his act on the road.
