A lot of days without news
I can understand that not everything can be accepted in the dot, but sometimes there is a big lack of time without news. And I think this is bad for KDE as it shows very little support from the community.
Trying to solve that I've posted some news KDE related in the past and they were not accepted. Probably it would have been a good idea to let some of these news appear although you don't like the content or style (remember that when somebody judges it's impossible being 100% objective).
I will keep trying and improve my english skills writting and making it better so you like, but there is a limit.
By the way, in question "Why was my article not approved?" you answer: "Perhaps you forgot to leave an email address?" while in the post web page it says it's not required if you don't need a reply notification.
I guess all of us have to improve in quality.
Thanks for your work, and please don't be so strict.

Re: A lot of days without news
Which articles did you post that weren't accepted? I don't seem to recall any from JL Lanbo... The email address is only so that we can contact you to tell you what went wrong. If you don't care, then of course there's no need for it. :)
Thanks for the feedback.
By Navindra Umanee at Mon, 2002/06/24 - 5:00am
Re: A lot of days without news
Yesteday, I sent one for example. I sent it with the same nickname (JL Lanbo) and it was about lincese issues with KDE/QT. But I use to change nicknames.
Regarding to the e-mail, I don't like to make it public. May be a good idea to add an option to send the email just to you, so it won't be public for everybody?
Thanks again for your work.
By JL Lanbo at Mon, 2002/06/24 - 5:00am
Re: A lot of days without news
Oh right, that one. One of the editors thought it was a good idea to wait for the next article in the series and post them together (I thought it was a good idea too). Plus, you know how much we are sick of these license discussions... :)
By Navindra Umanee at Mon, 2002/06/24 - 5:00am
Re: A lot of days without news
I guess from time to time it's good to see what other people in the community think about this stuff. Do they care? Don't they? Any new KDE user that didn't know about that?
By JL Lanbo at Mon, 2002/06/24 - 5:00am
Re: A lot of days without news
:) Hey, I don't want to chime in with complaints (the Dot is my favorite site), but I kicked a few articles that would "appear in the next quickies", and never did. I can't even recall what they were... other than one being Wasabi BSD releasing the first commercial BSD with KDE, and most of the rest being KDE stuff that appeared on NewsForge, but not here. They were all minor news, certainly, just stuff I hit while wandering around the web, but they never did appear.
By Evan "JabberWok... at Mon, 2002/06/24 - 5:00am
Re: A lot of days without news
That's probably because nobody got to writing the Quickies... There was a time when I was absolutely swamped, and generally I'm the only one to write these Quickies. I apologise for that.
I probably did try to salvage your submissions at some point though, I'd be surprised if I didn't. And if I didn't they must still be in the queue unless the matter was dealt with at the time. Ahh, yes. I see one from you in the queue -- it's a nice article about the Zaurus Release. I should have probably been more aggressive in pushing this one, but there may have been some internal confusion at the time. I hope you will continue to submit articles of this caliber!
This community faq is a first step in a move to recruit new community support and new blood for the dot.
By Navindra Umanee at Mon, 2002/06/24 - 5:00am
Re: A lot of days without news
No problem - I had to put my own news site on hold (having to do with Rocky Horror, not KDE) due to just being unable to update due to moving and such. I watched submissions slowly trickle off. I just wonder if anybody else, like me, stopped sending in news because it wasn't getting posted or clearly rejected during that time.
(And yeah - I know how upsetting it is to have to let a site slide for other priorities and lack of time. You've done such a good job covering, I don't think anybody really realized that you were overloaded, Navindra. In all reality, you've been doing a great job, as witnessed by the popularity of this site.)

Striving for Minimal Levels of Quality
I'm pretty sure that under the question "Why do you not approve all submissions? Other sites do it," you did not mean to say:
"We are convinced we can provide a better service to our readers by maintaining a minimal level of quality and professionalism!"
While many sites on the Web are of lackluster quality, I'm quite certain that most do not make it a goal to strive for a lack of quality! :)
By Anonymous at Tue, 2002/06/25 - 5:00am
Re: Striving for Minimal Levels of Quality
Ahh... but I said "maintaining", not "striving", doesn't that change the meaning significantly? :)
Anyway, I'll fix this misunderstanding for the final version.

Short news & interviews
Hi Navindra & other editors,
the 'dot' is still one of the few web-sites I visit every day although the most of the time I get disappointed because there is nothing to read here ;-). Sometimes it takes a week before something appears here. So, here are my suggestions how to improve the dot/kdenews:
1. Accept short news with a link to a good story
By Zeljko Vukman '... at Thu, 2002/06/27 - 5:00am
Re: Short news & interviews
I am quite disappointed with the dot lately, myself. Now that I'm no longer depressed due to the lack of bandwidth and CPU (thanks Cyberbrain!), I'm slowing trying to push for adjustments. This FAQ is meant in part to help the situation... I definitely want more community involvement too.
FWIW, I just wrote a Quickies article. It features an Interview, a rant and some old Konqueror news. I'm afraid I'll have to wait for an another editor to comment on it before pushing it through.

Relantive Usability Study Article?
Why is the Relantive KDE usability story not posted? This is IMHO bigb news, a very good argument for using KDE and of high interest to anyone using or promoting KDE.
Any reasons for not posting my story?
By Moritz Moeller-... at Wed, 2003/08/06 - 5:00am
Re: Relantive Usability Study Article?
A lot of people submitted this story (Steve, one of our editors was the first to point it out). We're definitely going to post it but we thought it would be cooler to wait for the English version to come out first (scheduled for soon) so that all of our readers can benefit.
Sorry, for not emailing back. Personally, I've been quite inactive editorial wise, and I guess none of the other editors got to responding either.
By Navindra Umanee at Wed, 2003/08/06 - 5:00am
Re: Relantive Usability Study Article?
As you wrote yourself in your story this is atm only useful for German speaking developers and dot.kde.org is an English newssite. Today relevantive published an English summary, which is IMO rather short and doesn't contain more information as seen in most stories and comments on other English newssites, and scheduled the complete English findings and press release after completion of the project for 11th August.

One day after delivering his powerful, precinct "I've been to the mountaintop" speech, Martin Luther King Jr. was shot outside a Memphis hotel.
It was a Thursday afternoon, 45 years ago, that King was rushed from the Lorraine Motel to St. Joseph's hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
It can be said that King knew his assassination was only a matter of time. His flight to Memphis the morning of his speech had been delayed by a bomb threat, and at the end of his speech, gave the memorable passage:
"Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land! And so I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man! Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!"
He was pronounced dead at 7:00 p.m. the next day.
The following stories are United Press International coverage from April 4, 1968, when King was shot in the head by James Earl Ray, to April 9, 1968, when he was buried.
King shot, condition critical MEMPHIS, April 4, 1968 (UPI) - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot outside a Memphis hotel Thursday afternoon. His condition was called "critical" at the hospital where he was rushed.
Police said King was taken by ambulance to a Memphis hospital.
Police put out a bulletin for "a young white male, well dressed" who was seen running from a brick building across the street from the Lorraine Hotel, where King's car was parked at the time of the shooting.
Police said King was sitting in his car when the shot was fired.
Officers raced to the scene and surrounded the car and other units roared into the area and surrounded the hotel.
Early reports indicated the police had possession of the weapon.
King was in Memphis leading garbage strike marches. His march last Wednesday burst into violence that left one dead, 62 injured and 200 arrested. He had planned another march for next Monday.
Police said the assailant dropped the weapon while running down Main street about a block from the shooting.
Police said the assailant apparently jumped into a late model white car after the shooting and sped away.
Dr. Martin Luther's ceaseless war on bigotry Thursday, April 4, 1968 By United Press International
Dr. Martin Luther King won his first big battle in the war on segregation in Montgomery, Ala., the cradle of the Confederacy.
The point of no return for the stocky Negro with broad shoulders and skin the color of burnished mahogany came in 1956.
King led the famed Montgomery bus boycott that brought integrated seating of buses in the Alabama capital.
It was a victory many Southerners found difficult to believe and it launched King on a campaign to abolish all forms of segregation.
His campaigns took him to St. Augustine, Fla., the streets of Birmingham, Ala., and rural Southern towns like Albany, Ga., Danville, Va., and Selma, Ala.
Advocating non-violence, he became the nation's best-known civil rights leader and his ceaseless battle won him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
He accepted the prize on behalf of "all men who love peace and brotherhood."
King was pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist church when he became the driving force behind the bus boycott in Montgomery.
King kept up hopes of the Negroes with weekly mass meetings in churches for the entire year of the boycott.
It was in that year that King, long an admirer of Mohandas K. Gandhi's passive resistance movement that broke the back of British rule in India, perfected non-violence as the basic weapon for the war on segregation.
Since the Montgomery bus boycott, thousands of Negroes have gone to jail under King's leadership.
King himself was in jail more than a dozen times in seven years.
When he was in a Georgia jail in 1960, his wife pregnant with their fourth child, received a call from Sen. John F. Kennedy, then the Democratic nominee for President.
Mrs. King said Kennedy had told her he was "very much concerned for both of us. He wanted me to know he was thinking about us and he would do all he could to help."
King was released from jail the next day and Kennedy won thousands of Negro votes that helped make him the 35th President.
With the winning of the bus boycott, King came to Atlanta as associate pastor of his father's Ebenezer Baptist church and organized the Southern Christian leadership Conference.
King and his organization hit at the right of Negroes to eat in any restaurant, apply for jobs as policemen and firemen and to try on a dress in a department store.
He leaned heavily on the dramatic and the weight of public opinion. He used symbolic cities for campaigns that gained worldwide attention.
After a punishing drive in a city like Birmingham, his organization often grew unusually inactive.
"We are just taking stock," King would say.
A few months later there would be another campaign somewhere else in the South.
King logged hundreds of thousands of miles in cross-country flights, lecturing and raising funds for his movement.
King had numerous threats on his life, and at times of major campaigns sometimes referred to them in almost the detached manner of a man who knew he was marked.
Early in 1965, King's conference concentrated its drive for equal rights to Selma in Alabama's Black Belt.
The goal was to make it easier for Negroes to vote.
King's lieutenants organized a march to Montgomery, 40 miles away. Several hundred whites and Negroes in the march were dispersed by club-swinging police when they reached the Selma city limits.
Indignation around the nation was immediate and hundreds of white ministers answered King's call to join a new march on the Alabama capital two days later.
This attempt ended peacefully, despite a tense confrontation between King, personally leading the way this time, and Alabama state troopers.
King was in an Alabama hospital Oct. 14, 1964, undergoing a routine physical after months of ceaseless activity, when word came from Oslo that he had won the Nobel Prize.
His selection was lauded by many. But Southerners reacted angrily for the most part.
Eugene Bull Connor, former Birmingham police commissioner whose men had battled with King's followers in 1963, said the Nobel selection committee was "scraping the bottom of the barrel."
"He caused more strife in this country than anyone I can think of," Connor said. Later, Atlanta civil leaders -- white and black -- sponsored a testimonial dinner for the Negro leader.
King accepted the prize but donated the $54,000 that accompanied it to the civil rights movement with an admission his work had not won the "very peace and brotherhood which is the essence of the Nobel Prize."
Soon after King was announced as the winner of the Nobel Prize he was branded as the "most notorious liar in the United States" by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
Hoover said this was his reply to King's suggestion the FBI had been ineffective in the investigation of a Southern civil rights case.
Married and the father of four, King lived in a modest two-story brick home in Atlanta.
King lived with the threat of violence daily.
In New York in September, 1958, a Negro woman armed with a letter opener and a loaded automatic stabbed him while he autographed copies of one of his works in a Harlem department store.
It was the third attempt on his life up to that time and he narrowly escaped death.
Surgeons, fighting the possibility of infection, removed 2 1/2 inches of bone from his chest. The wound bothered him the rest of his life.
An unknown person fired a shotgun blast through the door of his home in 1956 and a dynamite bomb was thrown on the front porch of his home a year later. It failed to explode.
In St. Augustine, King rented a beach cottage and it promptly was riddled with gunfire. He was not there at the time.
King was educated in Atlanta public schools (segregated at that time), Morehouse College in Atlanta, Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pa., the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard and Boston Universities.
He earned a doctor of philosophy degree at Boston University in 1955 and a doctor of divinity degree from the same school four years later.
Such fear as he knew was not for himself but for his country, which he loved.
Many times in recent months he had expressed concern that the time was running out for completion of a peaceful revolution that would give black people a fair share in American life.
Last summer's riots caused him deep personal anguish: he felt the nation could not sustain many more such summers without bringing into power a ruthlessly repressive fascist type government.
Johnson urges nation to mourn King without violence By MERRIMAN SMITH WASHINGTON, April 5, 1968 (UPI) - President Johnson met with top Negro and Government leaders today and urged the nation "to deny violence its victory in this sorrowful time" of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King.
He also proclaimed Sunday a national day of mourning for the civil rights leader.
Johnson, who hastily arranged the top level meeting after a night of violence in a dozen cities, said at the session that "America shall not be ruled by the bullet."
His declaration served as an answer to black power militant Stokely Carmichael, who had told newsmen less than an hour earlier only a matter of blocks away, that Negroes "will have to get guns" and avenge the assassination.
Johnson called on men of "all races, all regions and all religions ... to deny violence its victory in this sorrowful time and all time to come."
"Men who are white - men who are black - must and will join together now, as never in the past, to let all the forces of division know that America shall not be ruled by bullet but only by the ballot - free and just men."
Johnson told Negro leaders assembled in the Cabinet Room that "once again, the heart of America is heavy - the spirit of America weeps - for a tragedy that denies the very meaning of our land.
"We have moved toward opening the way of hope and opportunity and justice. We have rolled away some of the stones - of inaction, of indifference, of justice.
"The work we have begun is not done. But together we shall overcome."
Roy Wilkins, executive director of the NAACP, Whitney Young, executive director of the Urban League, Housing Secretary Robert Weaver and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall were among the Negro leaders who assembled at the White House.
Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and Defense Secretary Clark Clifford joined the high-level talks. Others included Mayors Richard Hatcher of Gary, Ind.; and Walter Washington of Washington, D.C., both Negroes; Bayard Rustin, a New York and civil rights leader; House Speaker John W. McCormack, Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Senate Republican Whip Thomas Kuchell (Calif.), and Cong. William M. McCulloch (R-O.)
After the White House meeting, the President and other participants went to National Cathedral for a memorial service for King. King spoke there Sunday night in his last appearance in Washington.
Within an hour of King's death last night, Johnson broadcast an appeal for calm.
"We can achieve nothing by lawlessness and divisiveness by the American people," the President said.
Hundreds of telephone calls came to the White House, some from as far as Sydney, Australia. Many callers suggested memorials to Martin Luther King and a number of congressmen said the first should be House action on a bill providing an "open housing" law for which King had marched and for which he was to have marched here again on Apr. 22, leading a "poor people's crusade."
Memphis hints clue in slaying; LBJ sends attorney general MEMPHIS, April 5, 1968 (UPI) - Police Chief Frank Holloman today said that "certain evidence has been found which we believe will be helpful" in capturing the white sniper who assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The hunt for the slayer was intensified with the arrival of Attorney General Ramsay Clark and other Justice Department aides sent here by President Johnson. Clark said FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover is personally supervising the case and "we are getting very close" to a solution.
Earlier 11,000 members of the Tennessee National Guard were alerted and 4,000 were sent to various trouble spots in the state. Mayor Henry Loeb lifted a curfew which closed all business and limited the streets only to "essential" persons.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal, a Scripps-Howard newspaper, offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to conviction of the killer.
Mrs. King flew from Atlanta to Memphis this morning in a jet plane chartered by Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
The plane carried back the body of Dr. King. Funeral arrangements were being completed this afternoon.
Mrs. King did not leave the plane at Memphis but stood at the door as the casket was loaded. She kept her composure while the casket was being lifted from the hearse but collapsed sobbing on the shoulder of a woman companion as a freight lift raised the casket to the door.
Dr. King, the non-violent leader of the civil rights movement, was slain last night with a single shot from a 30-caliber Remington pump rifle with a telescopic sight. It was fired from the window of a communal bathroom in a flophouse across the street from the hotel.
The bullet tore a gaping wound in his neck and Dr. King fell in a pool of blood on the second floor balcony outside his room at the Lorraine Hotel. He was shot at about 7 p.m. and died an hour later.
"From evidence we have at this time, only one man was involved," said Holloman. The assassin was described as a white man, six feet tall, 165-175 pounds, between 26 and 32 years old.
He fled from the flophouse, dropping the rifle and a suitcase in the doorway before he leaped into a late model white car and sped away. Holloman refused to divulge the contents of the suitcase.
But he said the assassin had bought a pair of binoculars in the city yesterday.
Chief Holloman said Memphis was "under attack" last night with "people looting, breaking into stores and shooting, principally at police cars." However, the streets of the city appeared deserted early today.
The 39-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner was in Memphis as a proving ground for his massive "poor people's campaign" on Washington later this month. When the march he led here last week burst into a riot, his friends and critics alike expressed doubt that he could keep the Washington demonstration non-violent.
Dr. King insisted he could, and he returned to Memphis Wednesday to draw plans for a 6,000-man march here Monday, vowing to see that it remained peaceful.
Wednesday night he told his followers at a mass rally that "like anybody, I would like to live a long life ... but I'm not concerned with that."
Yesterday at dusk, as he was about to leave the hotel in a Negro district to go to a friend's house for dinner, he strolled onto the balcony. He talked with his friends below.
A Memphis civil rights leader, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, said Dr. King saw him standing with Ben Branch, a musician who was to play at a rally a few hours later.
He asked Branch to play "Precious Lord, Take My Hand."
"I really want you to play that tonight," Dr. King said.
Then he told his chauffeur, Solomon Jones Jr., to start their car.
"I said, 'It's cold outside, Dr. King, put your topcoat on,'" Jones recalled.
"And he said, 'Okay, I will,' and smiled. Those were his last words."
Jackson said he started to speak to Dr. King again - "Dr. King," he called - and the he heard the shot. "It sounded like a stick of dynamite or a firecracker," he said.
"The bullet exploded in his face," Jackson said. Dr. King wheeled and fell on his back.
King slaying sets off violence at Negro ghettos, college campuses By United Press International April 5, 1968 (UPI) - The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King last night sent shockwaves through America's ghettos, touching off one of the most widespread outbreaks of racial violence this nation has ever seen.
Three persons were killed and dozens were injured. A white youth suffocated in a fire set by rioting Negroes in Tallahassee, a white man died of stab wounds in Washington, and another man died in a fire set in New York.
The entire 28,000-man police force of New York was ordered on emergency duty and the vast port of New York was closed down tight as a memorial to Dr. King by the International Longshoremen's Assn.
Raging Negroes poured into the streets in at least 20 cities and towns from Harlem to the California coast. In some areas there was fire bombing and looting. In others, Negro students clashed with police, using guns, rocks and even arrows.
National Guard troopers were called out in Nashville, Memphis, Raleigh and Greensboro, N.C. In the South, most of the violence took place around Negro colleges.
The city where King was slain appeared to have less violence than others. A state of shock seemed to daze much of the river city.
Violence broke out in Charlotte, Winston-Salem, New Bern and Wilmington, N.C.; in Itta Bena and Jackson, Miss.; in Tampa, Fla.; in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Oakland, Calif.; Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Rock throwing and some looting took place in Detroit as pupils walked out of four high schools.
Students at Florida A&M in Tallahassee, Fla., rioted and fired on police cars. Some students used bows and arrows. Police did not return the fire.
In Toledo, Ohio, today, about 2,000 Negro youths roamed over a mile-square area of the West Side, throwing rocks at windows and cars.
Two policemen were shot by snipers in Detroit a mile from the scene of last summer's riot.
In New York City, Mayor John Lindsay wandered through the streets of Harlem offering condolences to Negroes. Gangs ran wild in the big city, smashing windows and looting in Harlem and Brooklyn.
The worst outbreak was in Harlem. Negroes hurled rocks and bottles through the windshields of police and fire vehicles, smashed store windows, ripped down iron burglar grates guarding store fronts and looted almost at will.
There were several fires, reportedly set by arsonists. At least three five-story apartment buildings went up in flames.
Negroes shouted they would avenge King's death.
In Itta Bena, Miss., two Negro students at Mississippi Valley State College were shot and wounded following a brick-throwing demonstration.
In Washington, small mobs roamed the downtown area, breaking store windows, vandalizing property and looting businesses.
Even staunch militant and black power advocate Stokely Carmichael could not stop the disturbances.
He went nearly unheard when he tried to talk the youths into going home.
North Carolina was the scene of widespread demonstrating.
Police and Negroes battled in the streets of Raleigh. Three officers were injured slightly. One Negro youth was shot in the arm.
In Jackson, Miss., police sealed off a section of the city to quell a brief outbreak. Riot squads rushed to the scene in an armored vehicle when the rock-throwing started.
Most of the violence halted when Negro leader Charles Evers called a mass meeting. Evers attacked King's slayers, saying he had been trying to "do something for the poor whites who murdered him, for the cause of freedom."
In Cincinnati, two high schools were closed today at the request of the students in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, but violence broke out near racially mixed Woodward High School. About 100 Negroes surged across the street from Woodward and broke 12 windows in the Sifton Shopping Center. "We must retaliate," Carmichael decides WASHINGTON, April 5, 1968 (UPI) - Black power militant Stokely Carmichael said today Negroes will "have to get guns" and take to the streets to "retaliate for the execution" of Dr. Martin Luther King.
"When White America killed Dr. King, it declared war on us," Carmichael told reporters. "We have to retaliate for the execution of Dr. King."
"Black people know that their way is not by intellectual discussions. They know they have to get guns.
Our retaliation won't be in the courtroom but in the streets of America."
Carmichael said that last night he had led Negro youths through Washington's Cardozo area - scene of widespread looting - to ask storeowners to close their shops out of respect for King.
"I want it clear that we are not stopping them from kicking in store windows," Carmichael said. But he added that in the future, "we will stop them from going out into the streets until they have guns."
Asked by a white reporter if he feared for his life, Carmichael replied: "You should fear for yours."
King's widow leads march of 10,000 in Memphis MEMPHIS, April 8, 1968 (UPI) -- Mrs. Martin Luther King, dressed in black and with her children at her side, led a silent 10,000-man march today through this city where her husband was slain, then challenged her followers to see that her husband's spirit "never dies."
"Those of us who believe in what Martin Luther King stood for, I would challenge you to see that his spirit never dies, and we will go forward from this experience -- which to me represents the crucifixion -- to resurrection and redemption of the spirit," Mrs. King said. She spoke without notes for 15 minutes.
Standing straight and solemn, she traced the history of their life together from the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott to "Voting rights for political power."
"And now we are at the point where we must have economic power," she said. "He was concerned about 'the least of those,' the garbage and sanitation workers in Memphis, and that is why he came back to Memphis, to give you his aid."
The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, who took over the reins of Dr. King's Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, spoke following Mrs. King and pledged that the work of Dr. King would continue.
Abernathy, too, likened the death of Dr. King to the crucifixion, saying:
"Martin Luther King took his cross on his shoulder over at the Lorraine Motel, and there he was crucified."
Abernathy said he came to Memphis "not to participate in a memorial service, but to cry out to say to this nation and to this world: 'We are bound for the promised land.'
"We ain't gonna let nobody...whether it be Lyndon Baines Johnson or the Congress of the United States...we ain't gonna let nobody turn us around..."
Abernathy stressed that the movement intended to go ahead with Dr. King's planned "poor people's" march on Washington, declaring:
"We are going yes, we are going to Washington, but we are going to stay here in Memphis until this problem is solved."
Dr. King's campaign in Memphis was in support of striking garbage workers, who are demanding higher pay and an end to discrimination.
While the march and speeches were underway, National Guardsmen, with their bayonetted rifles at port arms, stood on rooftops, framed starkly against the gloomy sky. Police helicopters hovered overhead.
Labor leaders, entertainers, and the men who aided Dr. King through 10 years of civil rights leadership walked with his widow. Dr. King planned the march to support a strike by the city's Negro garbage collectors and to prove he could keep a massive demonstration peaceful.
But he was killed Thursday by a white sniper's bullet that felled him on the balcony of his hotel room, a block from the march route.
The march for the garbage collectors became a march in memory of King.
Walking eight abreast in silence, the marchers carried 12-by-18-inch placards on their chests, reading:
"Union Justice Now!"
"Honor King: End Racism!"
"I am A Man!"
Several thousand of the marchers were white. Many carried picket signs identifying their hometowns.
They came from across the nation, walking at a funeral pace. Scattered through the marchers were many priests and nuns, most of them white.
At City Hall thousands of white spectators lined the street, many of them with cameras, jostling each other to get a picture of the widow.
Mrs. King's plane was late leaving Atlanta, due to weather, and the march started without her. It went to the corner of Beale and Main Streets -- where the march Dr. King led here a week ago burst into a riot -- and stopped to wait for her.
She arrived in a caravan of police cars with flashing blue lights and stepped out, dressed in solid black. With her were her children, Martin Luther III, 10, Dexter, 7, and Yolanda, 12. Their fourth child, 4-year-old Albertine stayed in Atlanta.
The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, King's handpicked successor at the helm of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, helped her and the children out of the limousine. They flew to Memphis in singer Harry Belafonte's private jet and the SCLC officials came in jetliners chartered by New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.
Mrs. King, the three children and Abernathy took their places at the head of the march, and Belafonte walked beside Yolanda. Beside him in the front row was Dr. Benjamin Spock, the famed pediatrician and anti-war leader.
After she had walked a block, police tried to persuade her to ride in a limousine the rest of the way to city hall. But she shook her head grimly and walked on.
Five thousand National Guardsmen were on guard and hundreds of police, highway patrolmen and sheriff's deputies helped patrol every intersection.
One of Dr. King's aides, the Rev. Jesse Jackson of Chicago, looked at the march protection and said to an officer: "This is military occupation -- what are you trying to do?"
The marchers ranged from well-dressed Negroes with their families to workmen in rough clothing.
Signs identified contingents from Michigan, New York, Missouri, Chicago, Houston, Cincinnati, Detroit and other cities.
Heading the contingent of labor leaders was Walter Ruether, president of the United Auto Workers.
Vast throng pays King last tribute ATLANTA, April 9, 1968 (UPI) - Martin Luther King was entombed today after a funeral tribute which saw his body borne on a creaking wooden, mule-driven wagon in a funeral march of 150,000 persons.
"The cemetery is too small for his spirit," said Dr. Ralph Abernathy, successor to Dr. King as leader of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. "But we commit his body to the ground."
Dr. King was buried in South View Cemetery, the resting place of slaves.
The recorded voice of "Drum Major for Justice" rang out earlier in his own funeral eulogy as the Nation looked on.
Dr. King's family, his closest followers and the nation's leaders crowded into his austere red brick Ebenezer Baptist Church for private ceremonies and an estimated 150,000 people, many sobbing uncontrollably, accompanied his coffin on a four-mile march to Morehouse College for public services.
The slain integration leader - the man who had a dream of racial freedom - was carried through the streets in an old wooden-wheeled wagon drawn by two workworn, leather-collared mules.
Behind the wagon, obscured from view much of the time by the enormous crowd, walked Dr. King's widow, his brother and his children, followed by governors, senators and mayors from across the nation.
The daylong funeral service, unique in American history, was to end with his entombment in a crypt bearing the legend:
"Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, free at last."
Dr. King's slaying by a white sniper in Memphis last Thursday touched off violence across the land. As his burnished casket was borne from his church today, the House Rules Committee passed for floor action a landmark civil rights bill.
Vice President Humphrey, all the presidential candidates, Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, governors, lawmakers and show business stars stood in Dr. King's Ebenezer Church when the organ played "We Shall Overcome" - the anthem of his movement.
A driving, surging song of hope when Dr. King and his followers sang it in the streets of the South, it was a funeral dirge today, ringing through Atlanta, borne by organs, by church bells and the thousands of mouths.
At the end of the two-hour services in the church, the choir prepared to sing it again. But then the Rev. Abernathy, Dr. King's successor who has fasted since King was slain Thursday, announced the widow had asked that his leader's last sermon be heard.
His voice, tape recorded early in February, rang through the church.
Dr. King said to tell the man who eulogized him "not to mention that I have a Nobel Peace Prize - that isn't important.
"If you want to," the ghostly voice said, "say that I was a drum major. Say that I was a drum major for justice."
Most of the congregation burst into tears.
"Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all the other shallow things will not matter."
The funeral march was not supposed to begin until after the private services in the church. But the crowd grew so restive police ordered it begun several minutes before the services started. Tens of thousands began to walk, many crying, others singing.
Thousands more stayed behind to await the body.
The marchers tramped past the capitol of Georgia on the four-mile route to Morehouse College, Dr. King's alma mater.
"Come on, come on - get in, get in," they cried to bystanders. "He died for you, too."
Authorities estimated that the march was 40 percent white.
Robert F. Kennedy walked in the procession, his suit coat slung over his left shoulder. New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and his wife also were in the march.
An honor guard of firemen stood guard along the route. The marchers spread from sidewalk to sidewalk down the deserted streets. They stopped in front of City Hall and sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
A few moments after noon, bells tolled again at Ebenezer Church and the family emerged, followed by the coffin.
In the church were Senators Robert Kennedy, Edward Kennedy and Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy; Sen. Eugene McCarthy and former Vice President Nixon; governors of several states; ambassadors of most of the world's countries, and dozens of lawmakers, mayors and show business stars.
There were also athletes and entertainers along with construction workers, maids, milkmen and 1,000 garbage collectors from Memphis, whose strike Dr. King was supporting when a sniper killed him.
Among them was Black Power advocate Stokely Carmichael.
They rose when King's black-veiled widow, his four children, his mother and his father entered.
The funeral procession at Morehouse was to move up a circular walkway just inside the main gate to the campus. Two elderly women knelt beside the walkway for more than an hour, praying. A young woman held an umbrella overhead to shield them from the sun.
Clouds began disappearing from the skies over Atlanta about noon, giving even more color to the red and white of the dogwoods in bloom on the Morehouse campus. A young girl sat at a desk at the main gate reading a book entitled, "The Nature of Prejudice."
Nearby was an honor guard of Boy Scouts.
The marchers were 30 abreast for blocks when they reached City Hall. A police car driven by a Negro was at the head of the line.
The church service at Ebenezer ended at 12:13 p.m.
Bells began to toll.
"I haven't seen anything like this since the march on Montgomery," said a Justice Department official.
King's eldest child, Yolanda, 12, recited the New Testament scripture inaudibly in her seat while the Rev. E.N. Dorsey read it from the altar.
His youngest child, 5-year-old Albertine, chewed her fingernails and finally fell asleep against Mrs. King, who lifted the veil from her face and appeared exhausted.
The Rev. Ronald English, assistant pastor at Ebenezer, led the opening prayer:
"He has been to the mountaintop and his eyes have seen the glory."
Mrs. King listened to the minister, composed but with her eyes closed.
Dr. King's chief aide, the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, then praised Dr. King as a man "imbued with the philosophy of nonviolence."
He referred to a "sick" nation and said King had spent his life crying out to "let my people go."
The Ebenezer choir, wearing white robes, then rose and sang "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," a favorite hymn of Dr. King's.
Mr. and Mrs. Jackie Robinson, accompanied by the ambassador from Ghana, were the last persons to enter the church.
On the printed program handed to those in the church, titled "Osequies, Martin Luther King, Jr.," there was a biography of Dr. King including his civil rights activities and ending:
"On April 4, 1968, an assassin took the earthly life of Martin Luther King Jr.
"Profound, but unpretentious; gentle, but valiant; Baptist, but ecumenical; loving justice, but hating injustice; the deep roots of this great spirit resolved the agonizing wrestling and gave all mankind new hope for a bright tomorrow.
"It is, now, for us, the living, to rededicate and rededicate our lives to the cause which Martin Luther King so nobly advanced.
"He had a dream."
The program also contained a list of memorable dates in Dr. King's life and the details of the services at Ebenezer Church and Morehouse College.
The front of the funeral procession reached the Morehouse campus at 12:53 p.m. Marchers nearby broke into a song, "I Woke Up This Morning with My Mind on Freedom."
By the time the procession reached Morehouse, more than 30,000 persons were on the campus. Many chanted repeatedly, "We Shall Overcome."
The crush of humanity was so great that the mule train, with Hosea Williams, an aide to Dr. King, leading the animals by their halters, was unable for a time to get through
During the main eulogy at the public ceremony at Morehouse, Benjamin Mays, president emeritus of the college and the man who steered Dr. King into the ministry, praised the slain Nobel Peace prize winner as a "Prophet for the 20th Century" and "Champion of All."
Negro spiritual singer Mahalia Jackson, wiping tears from her eyes, sang the hymn that Dr. King requested just before his death, "Precious Lord Take My Hand."
At mid-morning crowds began gathering at the South View cemetery in southeast Atlanta as Dr. King was being buried in a mausoleum made of North Georgia marble.
The cemetery is situated near the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary and is more than 100 years old. Slaves are buried there, as are Dr. King's maternal grandparents.
King's mausoleum is located on a small incline bordering one side of the cemetery. It weighs 14,000 pounds and measures seven feet in width, eight feet in length and is four feet high.
Work on the mausoleum has been under way on a 24-hour basis since Friday.
This morning, shortly after 9 o'clock, Mrs. Kennedy went to the King home, a brick, split-level house on narrow, tree-lined Sunset Avenue. A crowd of about 200 persons - most of them Negroes - were on hand to see her.
She stayed inside about 10 minutes and then left. She was followed almost immediately by Mrs. King, her face covered by a long black veil, who stepped into a funeral home car and drove away, followed by King's mother and father in another car.

With its emphasis on core strength and alignment, Pilates counters these stresses by helping you look -- and feel -- a little taller. "This particular fitness discipline aims to create stability and freedom through the entire body by targeting the muscle groups that support the spine," says New York City-based fitness and Pilates instructor James Darling. That includes the muscles deep within the back, abdomen, and pelvis. By focusing equally on strengthening and lengthening, the following Pilates favorites will foster a buoyant support system for your spine, bringing deeper breathing, more energy, and posture that's both graceful and effortless.
Spine Stretch Forward
What It Does
Creates space between the vertebrae, lengthens the muscles of the back, and reduces lower back pain. Counteracts stress by calming the nervous system.
How to Do It
Sit on the floor with legs straight and spine tall. Drop your chin into your chest and contract your core, as if you're trying to curl your torso up and over a beach ball. Focus on drawing your center in as opposed to curving your spine. Rest your hands where they fall, and breathe here for 30 seconds to a minute. Slowly roll back up to the starting position. Repeat six times.
Double-Leg Stretch
What It Does
Strengthens the core, particularly the lower abdominal muscles, which help stabilize the pelvis and keep the vertebrae of your lower spine in alignment.
How to Do It
Lie on your back with knees drawn in toward your chest, hands resting on your knees, and head and shoulders lifted off the mat.
As you inhale, straighten the legs to a 45-degree angle and stretch your arms alongside your body and up over head.
Exhale and release, returning to the starting position, keeping your head and shoulders lifted off the mat. Repeat six times.
What It Does
Wrings tension out of the spine and stale air from the lungs, while stretching the backs of the legs and the shoulders. Combats everyday backaches that come from tight muscles.
How to Do It
Sit tall with legs extended and arms in a T, spine long. Inhale, drawing your belly button toward your spine. Exhale and twist your torso to the left as you bend forward at the waist, extending your right hand to your pinkie toe (as if you're "sawing" off your toe). As you twist, squeeze your inner thighs and buttocks and draw your abs in even tighter. Hold for five breaths, then switch. Repeat six times.

Transitional Technologies, LLC (no website yet)
We are a fast growing Eco friendly company focusing on the Transitional Technologies needed to take us from present energy sources into the next era of energy production. We currently build and sell hydrogen generators around the world for the auto industry (http://www.hhokitsdirect.com) and teach others how to build them (http://www.hybridwaterpower.com). We are also expanding our line with the next generation of home power savers (reduce electric bills by 20%-30% a month) and are working on developing water treatment products, gas vaporization units and hydrogen assisted generators for commercial use, as well as new electrical motor designs and HV plasma research.
We need a logo to cover and portray this scope (not just auto industry) of transitional technologies that will help us convert from old school energy to new technologies. We can't throw away 200 million cars- or knock down all existing homes- which would be wasteful. We believe developing transitional technologies is the next wave of practical breakthroughs.
The auto products target largely mechanically inclined males in the 30-60 age group, although we have guys in their 70's who are buying our systems.
The other technologies target a much larger demographic.
Must have a good logo that portrays our company goals in a professional looking way that would be good enough for a professional business card, but not so stuffy that it couldn't be handed out to a person who would like to buy and install a system in their home or car.
May or may not incorporate the company name in the logo- Transitional Technologies, LLC
Open to color schemes, prefer deep greens and blues but open to creative concepts
Rather not have a picture of the earth- seems everyone is doing that, but if your design is decent, will still consider the option.
Logo design should be in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator format

I have been doing a number of talks / presentations recently to business groups and networking groups entitled "Social Media – coming ready or not!" and I just wanted to apologise publicly for this.
I'm really very sorry!
It's not that I feel that they weren't full of good information or that they weren't well received or even that they only scraped that surface of the subject at hand – although the latter is certainly true (but hopefully not the others!).
No, I wanted to apologise because I fear that the title is misleading. I worry that it gives the impression that social media, with blogging sitting at its centre, is something which has still to fully arrive and that we can watch its approach with a type of detached intellectual curiosity. I feel that perhaps people might think that if we all collectively close our eyes, then it might disappear and be replaced with something more friendly to the business marketing status quo.
Or perhaps, in the tried and tested disaster movie formula, we feel confident that the "social media asteroid" hurtling on a collision course with Earth will somehow be diverted from its course and we will all be saved … probably by Bruce Willis, if cinematic history is anything to go by.
This is all untrue. Social media is here … now.
It is already profoundly affecting what we do and how we interact. From a business perspective, it is impacting how we find, evaluate, promote, recommend and share information, products and services, as well as how we rate the companies and individuals which supply them. And of course, conversely it is changing the ways in which companies need to listen to us, their customers, and engage with us if they wish to succeed.
There are still companies which seem to believe that they can ignore or avoid it – well, they can certainly elect not to actively participate but that doesn't mean that they won't be involved. If people are talking about them then they are involved, albeit implicitely. Their reluctance to actively join the conversation simply means that they have no say in the discussion and so no control over what is being said or its future direction.
So, I say to those companies and individuals defiantly sitting there like King Canute hoping to stem the tide, don't fight it but rather embrace it. At the very least, make sure that you have the tools in place to listen to what is being said, but ideally also make sure that you have the tools and knowledge to participate and, preferably, initiate conversations. It will certainly be beneficial and you never know, you might even enjoy it!

A Texas mother said her family's dream vacation in France turned into "a nightmare" when a man driving a box truck plowed through a crowd gathered to watch fireworks celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, killing 84, including her husband and their 11-year-old son.
"All of a sudden, I hear my husband scream, 'Watch out!' and I look up and see a big white truck headed straight toward us," Kim Copeland said in an interview that aired on NBC's "Today" show Thursday.
Copeland's husband, Sean, ran over to their son Brodie. By the time Kim Copeland made it to her son, "I knew that he was gone" she said. Her husband lived a few hours longer, the entire time asking about Brodie.
Copeland said she's thankful for the tributes and and support the family has received and she appreciates the time she spent in France with her son, husband and Sean Copeland's two adult children.
"I don't regret going on our family vacation together because we had the most amazing days and minutes together as a family of five that I wouldn't take back," she said.

Thanks, TD & jb. Working on it (testingwise, that is). Very few have LS120 - it was a great concept, FDD backwards compatible, and not tainted by the IOmega yankee money-making bug! There was an LS-240 but I never saw them. Rather slow in Linux and smallish by present yardstick, but infinitely more reliable than CD/DVD/BRay/Flashdrive.
Sound update: only one card (onboard) SI7021, correctly identified. Set all the Alsa controls correctly - no sound.
PPM says it cannot find FlashPlayer? Odd! Essential for UK residents, probably rather more.
Is it me?! Suddenly all my favourite Puppies are misbehaving:
- sound, FP, icon-flashing, eject +sudden retraction of sr0 on FD360
- no poweroff, strange video effects like pink bars on some icons/menu items on Slacko5.6.5
- no X-vid with XP-cpu on X-Slacko
- Q6, well we all know about that one!

- exactly the same with Slacko. All my other Xfce distros close and reboot properly.
Did you check CTRL-ALT-BKSPCE? That should give you the prompt. But poweroff and shutdown only get halfway from there, at best!

So fast and beautiful.... A big step for mankind if you ask me...
Until you install something. Then the YEAAH goes a bit more like hmmm...
Why in the world are the repo pointing to Ibiblio and not a mirror that gives top speed for downloads of software like NLUUG?
Ibiblio turned their bandwidth down to 1990's level a few years ago and is like "the download site that is stuck in glue".
This is a issue that really annoys me, as I do not believe people would understand WHY they should change the Repository, as most folks dont even know what the word even means.
So the default repo should be the fastest one and not the slowest.
That would give the great first impression that FATDOG deserves and not the opposite.
I see complaints about the ibiblio site everywhere on the forum.
Another option is to have or not have ibiblio as deafult and change the name "Choose Repository" into "Choose Download speed" as that makes more sense to the average Joe.
Just a idea...
Anyhow the RC2 comes up fast and beautiful on my ASUS U36 and it is hereby by primary OS...

Ted Dog, can't reproduce your issue ... how is your setup, do you use HDMI or anything? If you do, please disable "shared access" (dmix), sometimes it interferes with that.
Billtoo, you need to configure the actions of Xfce panel to this:
- logout mapped to "wmexit logout"
- reboot mapped to "wmexit reboot" or "wmreboot" or "reboot"
- shutdown mapped to "wmexit reboot" or "wmreboot" or "reboot"
I compiled Xfce once but didn't bother to investigate where to make the changes so I can't advise you. Kirk probably can - he spent more time to get Xfce to work before. Or may be there is some config file or startup file which you can change, without having to recompile the whole thing.
Sage, rcrsn51, I can't reproduce your problem here. Booting clean frugal install on nvidia desktop with floppy drive (with precaution said on the second post - deleted /etc/nouveau-noaccel and deleted /usr/X11R7/lib64/vdpau), I got the drive icons lined up correctly on the first try. My floppy drive icon also isn't constantly blinking.
Please do this - open terminal, and then type "udevadm monitor". Tell me what you see there. For rcrsn51, are you sure you don't have any leftover files in your save file (especially /etc/X11/xinitrc - this file gets updated in rc2).
Atle, thanks for the suggestion (and the compliment
). One of the reason why we go with ibiblio as the primary mirror is - because it is the primary source. All uploads goes there first. It may take one to two days to ibiblio to sync with the mirrors. But your concern is a valid one - ibiblio is also slow here. Let me discuss this with kirk.

The blinking was on a fresh start before creating a savefile. Once I made a savefile, the blinking stopped, but I needed several redraws before the icons were correct.
[Edit] Sometimes I still need to run Menu > Restart X.

Post subject: Encrypted Save File
I just installed version 630rc2 to my USB thumb drive and saved an encrypted save file to it. I edited the .conf file to point to the save file via uuid. When it boots, the scrolling text states that it found the save file however, it does not prompt for a password and just continues to boot without the save file. Any ideas?

Confusing - this time everything was present & correct (live CD). Previously, the flashing FD0 icon was in the position of sr0. Looked for the files in /etc and /usr - neither was present. Did the udevadm monitor command - nothing of interest, just 'monitor will print records for UDEV and MONITOR', but no output shown.
Don't have nV, it's an ATI 68e1 onboard.
Sorry I can't reproduce flashing either - haven't been fiddling, either!

@jb problem I was pointing out was related to issue with bad choice of sound cards affecting correct sound card choice later. You must bungled sound card first, then try the correct settings, to reproduce this error situation. If you have already setup the sound card first it works fine.....
That video starts loud so it makes a repeative chirp.. but if a different video was silent the first 10th of a second you would never know you would just assume settings to sound was non functional.
Multi day test has gone smoothly with some odd slow downs experienced, unsure cause CPU speed after file loads is normal but file access to load software changes dramatically ie RAYtracing takes same time to render scene but software loading varies from normal so fast it appears instantly to several second delay for software to load In order to run.

Also optical drive fast finger crushing reload disk problem has reappeared. Not to the level of 620 release of everytime, but If I eject SR0 from a script it will auto close very quickly. So fast as to not really crush a finger since its already closed before you can reach for it
If I eject using click from menu it works fine.
Will be testing multisession next.... and the remaster function..

honored by Illinois FFA for distinguished service
Send a link to a friend
[June 20, 2014]
SPRINGFIELD – Alexis Asher, of
Hartsburg IL, was named the 2014 Distinguished Service Award
recipient by the Illinois Foundation FFA. Recognized for her legacy
of significant and distinguished service to the Illinois Foundation
FFA and Illinois FFA and agricultural education. The award was
presented during the 86th Illinois State FFA Convention.
Alexis served as the local collection drive chair
for the Hartsburg-Emden FFA Chapter for more than 20 years. She grew
annual Foundation contributions by more than $4,000 over those
years. Last year, the chapter's total contributions to the
Foundation was $5,030. Thanks to Asher's leadership, the chapter and
local community have raised $53,621 for the FFA collection drive
during her tenure as chair. Betsy Pech, Agriculture Education
Teacher and FFA Advisor, says, "Alexis is a tremendous supporter of
the FFA and especially the Hartsburg-Emden FFA Program. We have been
very fortunate to have such a reliable foundation chair for the
Hartsburg-Emden program".
Alexis first agreed to serve as the collection drive chair after
being motivated by attending a Hartsburg-Emden FFA Chapter Banquet.
She recalls, "At the banquet, I saw so many students doing such
great things in the community. I knew I needed to help support the
agriculture education students". She is most excited about how the
FFA organization helps students learn leadership and provide service
to others.
The Illinois Foundation FFA was established in 1947 to provide
incentive awards and leadership training opportunities for Illinois
FFA members. The success of the Foundation has been made possible
because of the dedication of individuals like Mrs. Asher. Today,
more than 17,520 members in Illinois benefit from the financial
support which the Foundation provides for Illinois FFA. This past
year, more than 5,000 individuals and companies supported the
Illinois Foundation FFA with gifts totaling $562,899.

More than 3,500 Illinois FFA high school students participated in
the 2014 Illinois State FFA Convention at the Prairie Capital
Convention Center in Springfield. The Illinois Association FFA is

If you are hoping to score a deal on spring break travel, now is the time! We took a look at how you can save on popular spring break destinations like Florida and Vegas. Plus, the best tips to save wherever you decide to escape to!
The Sunshine State
Florida is a popular spring break location because there's a little something for everyone whether you're a college partygoers or an amusement-park-loving family. Two-day Disney World park hopper tickets for a family of four can cost more than $1000. While ticket savings can be hard to come by, you can often save when you bundle them with your flight and hotel.
Southwest: Save up to 15% on Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort Theme Park Tickets
Jet Blue: Save up to $600 off select Walt Disney Resort Hotels, Dining Packages and Park Tickets with Jet Blue Getaways
Buy souvenirs like autograph books and mouse ears ahead of time. You will save money shopping online. Wrap them up and surprise your child the morning of your theme park adventure, so it still feels like a special treat.
And if you're just going to Florida for the sunshine, you can still save.
Marriott: Get 15% off stay at Miami, Orlando & more
Hertz: Save $30 on airport weekly rentals in Florida
The city that never sleeps
Much like Florida, there's something for everyone in Vegas and there are some great hotel promos going on right now. In fact, only about one-third of Vegas visitors end up paying the regular room rate, proving rates are up for negotiation and you should not book unless there is a sale or coupon code.
The Cosmopolitan: Save 20% off when you book 45 days in advance.
Luxor: Save up to 30% off select rooms plus receive a $20 food and beverage credit
You can also save on entertainment: Vegas.com: Save $25 off your next ticket purchase
The wide-open road
Some airlines monitor school district schedules and raise airfares at nearby airports during spring break. Plus, if you're booking a last minute airfare (typically anything less than two weeks), you pay dearly. So why not take a road trip? Use the AAA Fuel Cost Calculator to estimate your gas costs based on vehicle and location.
Check out this map of 11 essential road trip routes.
Here are some coupon codes for car rentals:
Budget: Save up to 40% off car rentals
Avis: Save up to 30% off with pay now rates
Fox: Save an extra 10% off fullsize SUV
Train travel is another great alternative to flying. They often come with kid discounts you can't find in the air, like Amtrak's half-price fares for kids 2 through 15 years old. Ask if there are any destination discounts like local museums or restaurants that will give a deal when you show your train ticket.
General travel tips
But no matter where you travel this spring or how you get there, there's probably a way you can save. Here are some tried and true travel tips.
Airfare: Book airfare on Tuesdays around 4 pm EST. Most airfare sales start on Tuesday and by end of day other airlines may have brought down their prices to match competitors. Fly on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday for the best prices. Take the earliest flight out to get a good price and avoid delays.
Hotels: Often, the lowest price is an online special you can only get by booking online. Look for hotels with loyalty programs that work in tandem with your frequent flyer miles so you can earn double the rewards. Look for amenities like free breakfast or an airport shuttle, which could save your family big bucks.
Gas: Many think midweek is the best time to fuel up, but a recent study from GasBuddy found that weekends actually offer the lowest price at the pump in most states. Look for a station that gives you a discount when you pay with cash. Keep luggage in the trunk and skip the roof rack, which can decrease fuel efficiency by 5%.
Hotwire: Save $25 off $100+ hotel booking via Hotwire App
Orbitz: Save $150 off flight and hotel vacation packages (4 nights and minimum spend of $1000)
Expedia: Save up to 50% off 10 select destinations

Obama set to host forum for young African leaders
Issued on: Modified:
US President Barack Obama is set to host a town hall-style meeting with 115 young African leaders at the White House on Tuesday to discuss "their vision for Africa for the next 50 years".
AFP - President Barack Obama is to meet 115 young African leaders on Tuesday to discuss "their vision for Africa for the next 50 years" as Washington hopes to reap trade and other benefits from such ties.
The talks come as civil society and private sector leaders from more than 40 sub-Saharan countries will begin three days of talks in Washington, with 17 of these countries celebrating 50 years of independence in 2010.
Michelle Gavin, the senior director of African affairs at the US National Security Council, said the meetings are in keeping with the spirit of Obama's remarks when he visited Ghana, west Africa last year.
"We're partners, but we're not the drivers," Gavin told reporters at the State Department, recalling Obama said the future of Africa is up to Africans themselves.
"And the real drivers are African youth. It's the lion's share of the society. And they're going to determine what the next 50 years will bring," Gavin said.
Obama is to host a town-hall style meeting on Tuesday at the White House to "discuss their vision for Africa for the next 50 years," according to a statement from the State Department.
The US president had announced the meeting during the late June Group of Eight meeting in Canada, when talks were opened up to include several African countries.
The young African leaders will also meet with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, other government officials and civil society leaders, the State Department said.
"We're very much looking forward to this opportunity to meet with young African leaders," said Judith McHale, US under secretary for public diplomacy and public affairs.
"We feel when you look at the continent of Africa and the strategic significance on a go-forward basis, in terms of resources and frankly from trade and other relationships, we see this as a great opportunity to reach out to young leaders from across the continent," McHale told reporters.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – It was a successful trip to the 2013 USTA/ITA New England Regional Championships for the MIT women's tennis team. The Engineers sent a record seven players to the tournament hosted by Williams College and came away with some impressive results, including senior Lauren Quisenberry's (Corpus Christi, Texas) second trip to the tournament's Round of 16 in as many years.
Six players took part in singles action in the tournament for the Engineers. Quisenberry, who was seeded No. 4 in the singles bracket, started her weekend with a two set victory over Senzo Mavune-Maphisa from Trinity College. She took the first set 6-1 before holding off her opponent in the deciding second set in a close 7-6 (8-6) decision. She then moved on to play Lindsay Benoit from Nichols College, advancing to the Round of 16 with a 6-1, 6-1 win. Quisenberry's weekend came to an end there, however, as she fell to Linda Shin from Williams, 6-1, 6-0.
Freshman Krystal Lai (Irvine, Calif.) also won an opening round match for MIT, defeating Alex Marlowe from NEWMAC foe Wheaton College, 6-2, 6-1. She then had to face the No. 2 tournament seed, Ria Gerger from Middlebury College and took a 6-2, 6-1 loss.
Sophomore Victoria Tam (Rolling Hills Estates, Calif.) and freshmen Wendi Kong (Cupertino, Calif.) and Elysa Kohrs (Half Moon Bay, Calif.) all suffered setbacks in the first round, but Kong and Kohrs continued play in the consolation bracket where they met with success. Kong defeated Tess Perese from Colby College in a hard-fought 2-6, 6-3, 11-9 win before falling in another close one to Tiffany Cheng from Bowdoin College, 5-7, 6-1, 10-6. Kohrs won both of her matches in the consolation side, defeating Alexa Katz from Brandeis University by a score of 6-1, 6-1 before moving on to down Claire Dubrin of Wesleyan University, 6-1, 6-3. Senior Julia Hsu (Knoxville, Tenn.) played in the feed in round of the consolation bracket and took the first set from Jacqueline Baum from Tufts University before falling in closely contested 5-7, 7-6 (8-6), 10-5 decision.
Three doubles teams also played for MIT in the tournament, with a record two reaching the quarterfinals before bowing out. The team of Tam and Kohrs had a tough first round assignment and fell to No. 1 seed and eventual tournament champion Gabby Devlin and Jordan Brewer from Amherst College, 8-1. They came back to claim a victory in the consolation round, however, defeating Maya Vasser and Katz from Brandeis, 8-2. Lai and junior Michelle Dutt (Gurnee, Ill.) had a tough match in their opening round action against Wesleyan's Durbin and Grace Smith, prevailing in a tiebreaker, 9-8 (7-5). They then moved on with an 8-6 decision over No. 5 seed Shelci Bowman and Sam Gann from Tufts. In the quarterfinals they fell to the team of Linda Shin and Alex Stone from Williams, 8-3.
Quisenberry and Hsu teamed up to also reach the quarterfinals for MIT. They opened with an 8-6 decision over Lily Bondy and Kaysee Orozco from Middlebury before moving on with an 8-1 decision over Bowdoin's No. 5 seed Joulia Likhanskaia and Kate Winingham. The Engineers' duo then fell by that same 8-1 score to No. 2 seed Kara Shoemaker and Rebecca Curran from host Williams.
MIT returns to dual meet action on Tuesday, October 1 when it hosts Clark University in a NEWAMC match at 4:00 p.m.

The romance of catching really big fish out in the open waters away from the protection of their day time sanctuaries is just too good to pass up! The lure of the 'lunkers' at night creates an irresistible urge to nail that big one that's going to the taxidermist.
