  5. How to make the most of a trip to the nation's capital

    A spring break in the nation's capital is a rite of passage for some families, but if the airfare from the West Coast to the East has stretched your vacation budget, take heart.

  8. Review: 'Oz the Great and Powerful' a rough slog on the yellow brick road

    Sometimes sweet, sometimes scary, sometimes sour, "Oz the Great and Powerful" is a film that doesn't know its own mind. A partially effective jumble whose elements clash rather than cohere, this solid but not spectacular effort stubbornly refuses to catch fire until it's almost too late.

  12. Proponents of cellphone unlocking ask the White House for help

    <span style="font-size: small;">Proponents of cellphone unlocking are trying to gain the White House's support through a <a href="https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/make-unlocking-cell-phones-legal/1g9KhZG7">petition</a> drive, but they face a couple of non-trivial hurdles. First, they have until Saturday to reach 100,000 signatures &mdash; the new threshold the Obama administration set for responding to petitions on its <a href="https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/">We the People</a> site &mdash; and they were more than 25,000 short as of this writing. And second, even if they hit their target and win over the administration, it's not clear the White House can do much to help.</span>
