SEATTLE -- New data is giving Washington state transportation officials insight into commuters' new driving habits one week after the start of 520 tolling.
According to data released Thursday, traffic on the 520 bridge decreased by 35 percent, significantly less than the 45 percent decrease WSDOT officials had anticipated.
Some drivers were taking alternate routes, but data shows traffic on I-90 increased by only 7 percent.
Transportation officials say commuters appear to be changing their habits and leaving their homes earlier to take I-90. 520 commuters also appear to be leaving earlier to pay the lower toll fare before 7 a.m.
No data has been released yet for traffic times on SR 522, I-5 and I-405.
"Every day, drivers are making choices whether to avoid the toll or avoid congestion," said Toll Director Craig Stone of the Washington State Department of Transportation. "We are seeing signs that we are edging toward that new normal for the morning commute and are closely monitoring where and when drivers are traveling to see what emerges."

Snowboarding and Environmental Awareness Star in Marie-France Roy's "The Little Things"
You know Marie-France Roy (or MFR) as the female backcountry slayer who has seemingly no limitations on her talent. And you should know her for that part of her portfolio. She's also all about living and promoting a sustainable lifestyle. (We like and support that part of her existence too!) In her new film project, "The Little Things," MFR paired the two parts of her life in one cohesive bit of movie-making artistry. Imagine that: a snowboarding movie with a message.
Oakley Snowboarders Star Alongside Snow Park Tech in NatGeo's "Mountain Movers"
For the Torstein Horgmos and Mark McMorris' of the snowboarding world to be able to do what they do, they need to trust the terrain. When they go flying two stories into the sky, they need to know that they have the speed and lift to cover as much as a quarter of a football field on some of these Big Air jumps. That's the reason you've heard Horgmo publicly criticize features after events, calling for more athlete involvement and investment in the right crew to get the job done – and that right crew, according to most snowboarders you talk to, is Snow Park Technologies.
Stellar Riding Goes Down at the 12th Canadian Shakedown at Mont Saint-Sauveur
Despite the late-season chilly weather, there was plenty of energy from the massive crowd at Saint-Sauveur to rev the internal engines of the three-dozen athletes on hand for the 12th annual Ride Shakedown weekend. With a Shakedown course that included a Big Air jump and series of flashy rail features, and a jam-session format, along with a separate Rail Jam, there was plenty of opportunity for the talented crew to get creative.

I have been a customer of Overstock for years and have never had this experience. This futon is not true to description. It's extremely small and uncomfortable to sit on for longer then a minute, while sitting on it you feel like you are sitting on the ground. This product just looked ridiculous, it's more for a kids tree house then and adults. This was a very bad purchase on my end.
Everything about this futon was accurate to the advertisement. However it is not very comfortable, it is quite lumpy. I'm attributing this to it being new still and not broken in. I can sit and sleep on nearly anything without problems but I suspect my guests will have some minor grumbles over it.
The Futon looks nice but it is very uncomfortable. Its less comfortable than a wooden bench.
This futon is very unconfortable. i have purchased futon before and this is a rock. It is very hard and unconfortable.
I purchased this futon for my 8 year old daughters room, which is too small!! We've not had a place for friends to sleep over unless they used the living room until now. This futon is cute, reasonable, great for limited space, and easy for even an 8 year old to convert into a bed (you just simply pull forward on the back and release.) By the descrition I thought that it might be a bit of a pain to assemble, but not at all..It was together in 10 minutes
Perfect for the kid's playroom. This futon is about the same length as an average love seat, so if you are looking for one that would comfortably sleep an adult, this is NOT what you want. This fit perfectly in the space I needed it and works great for my little herd. Thanks!
Smaller then I thought. Broke within 3 months. Too small to fit teenager on
It looks good, as long as it isn't used often or for long periods of time. Definitely not the most comfortable, but fine for the price.
I was very surprised how easy the set up was .This Futon was a great fit to my new home. Thank you
I was looking for something functional as I needed extra seating in the family room that doubles as sleeping or napping space for my kids or guests. The height of the legs was very short. Really not meant for adults or even teenagers. The adjustable back rest which can be laid flat to use as a bed gave up quickly. It broke within a month from delivery. Just keeping it for now until I find another one. Cheap price for poor quality. It was probably worth $**, not $*** retail. Don't buy it!

The first crab salad I remember having was from The Sizzler--probably 15 years ago. I thought it was great. Not fine dining, but it was worth going to the Sizzler to get that crab salad. Since then, I've had crab salad in restaurants many times, especially buffets. Having learned to cook--at least half-way competently and therefore unafraid to try new recipes--I've been carrying the crab salad idea around in my brain for a few weeks. To scratch the itch, I finally gave it a try. WOW! This is great stuff. It has more of a tangy zing than any other crab salad I've tried, including at The Sizzler. I would NOT omit the Italian dressing; That's what gives it the "zing," though you may wish to reduce the amount. I used what I had, 1/3 cup Italian dressing and the rest Italian Pesto dressing. To get it ready for the steak and potatoes meal we had last night, I popped it in the freezer for 30 minutes. That provided the salad with a chill that was just about right. As another reviewer suggested, I used 1 1/2 pounds of crab meat. Too, I wasn't real stingy with the green pepper, red onion, or celery, adding slightly more than that called for in the recipe. Using more of these ingredients than called for prevented any "soupiness." The consistency was absolutely perfect. This will go into my regular rotation of recipes. Excellent!
This recipe was OK for me, although I think others might find it very good. I thought it was too tangy for my taste. It makes A LOT of dressing, so I ended up using 2 lbs. of imitation crabmeat to make use of all the dressing, and even then the salad was still a little soupy.
This is very good, but seemed to have a lot of dressing for my taste. I did cut the recipe in half, so I might have accidentally used a whole amount for some of the dressing ingredients. I'll just watch this the next time I make the salad. UPDATE 6/12/03: Just made again and used the full recipe. I still do think this is too much dressing for my taste - it is almost soupy and the dressing flavor overpowers the rest of the ingredients. Will try to make two-thirds of the full recipe (of dressing) next time.

Welcome to the Raleigh Garden Club!
Current Project: The RGC Plant Sale Connect Here
The Raleigh Garden Club, Inc. is a non-profit philanthropic and educational organization founded in 1925. Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, we welcome guests and new members to our group. Our stated objectives are to:
- Study the art of gardening in all its aspects
- Encourage environmental improvement
- Assist in educating youth through programs and scholarships
Gardeners are welcome to join. Attend a meeting to discover the benefits of membership: monthly educational programs, special plant sale preview, classes in horticulture, floral design, and environmental concerns, and many volunteer opportunities for learning about gardening around Raleigh. Members are welcome from the greater Raleigh environs including Cary, Apex, Morrisville and Zebulon.
The Raleigh Garden Club was inducted into the Raleigh Hall of Fame in 2008.
History of the Raleigh Garden Club
Pass Along Your Garden's Best
Pass-along plants are an delightful part of our Raleigh Garden Club gardening heritage. A pass-along is a plant that can be easily propagated and given away. Pass-along plants are one of the great delights of the Raleigh Garden Club membership -- or any garden club for that matter.
As I walk through my garden, I enjoy Louise's peacock moss (Selaginella uncinata) and Anne's mother's aspidistra that we had to use pickaxes and lots of laughs to divide. Bruce's pink crinum lily provides a strong architectural accent all season, and amazing flowers in the summer. Every pass-along is something special because part of receiving that plant is the connection that comes with it. This is one way friendships grow in my garden. Every time I look at one of these pass-alongs, I remember the person who gave it and the time I got it.
Steve Bender and Felder Rushing have written an entertaining book about this aspect of our Southern gardening history: Passalong Plants. They list the South's top pass-alongs as: 1) Daffodil 2) Spider Lily 3) Canna 4) Daylily 5) Crinum 6) Iris 7) Camellia 8) Gardenia 9)Poppy 10) Ginger Lily. In the Raleigh Garden Club I'd have to add: Poet's Laurel, Daphne, and Hellebores as being right up there at the top too.
In the Raleigh Garden Club, pass-alongs happen informally all the time. But we also do a Spring Plant Sale that is a pass-along bonanza! Members pot up successful plants from their gardens to sell, and the money raised is donated back to the community in the form of gifts to places like hospitals, internships to the JC Raulston Arboretum, Habitat for Humanity, the Audubon Society, and many more. Many a new gardener to the area has gotten their first big start at our Plant Sale, and they come back every year for more. Quite a few become friends and join the Club over time.

We're excited to announce Hell For Leather's first event, Function Through Form: Motorcycles in the Age of Artistic Production. We'll be bringing together iconic designers JT Nesbitt and Roland Sands, along with two of their bikes, in Roland's case, a surprise machine. Roland and JT have pretty big personalities, so it should be interesting to see them interacting to create art based on their motorcycle designs live at RARE Gallery in Chelsea. Grant and I are also putting together a small selection of classic and custom bikes to accompany the two designers' work.
Update: the official invite's above. Make sure you RSVP.
Thanks go out to Function Through Form's sponsor: Discover Today's Motorcycling.

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
The problem with liberals is that they can call anything whatever they like. But conservatives may have to obey other rules, which is the point of my letter.
They call it whatever they want except what it is. Abortion is "a woman's right to choose." An illegal immigrant is "an undocumented worker" doing nothing is "leading from behind."
All important issues with real problems. But it is easier to rename them in politically correct terms,like the cutsy pie sarcastic nonsense such as "Paw-Paws!"
So we have a country that actually wants to remove the terms Mother and Father from their legal code, and Annie Bristow and Kenny Braitman think that it's just fine ("The law has nothing to do with what we can call our parents," Oct. 15 Times-News).
Everyone with any perception knows that the homosexual marriage issue is not the end to a problem, but the beginning of an agenda.
Political correctness will not only be a driving force in the deterioration of the esteem of marriage, but is already at destroying the terms Mother and Father. Within 10 years Mother's Day and Fathers Day will be gone. What kind of world do you want children to emulate ?
Shortly after the law becomes effective it will spawn enumerable lawsuits, educational indoctrination, actuarial anomalies, financial fraud and a cultural confusion for children to fathom.
Of course, Mothers and Fathers will become "'Traditional' Mothers and Fathers" or footnoted as traditional Mothers and Fathers. Of course there will be those who will claim "We didn't want it to go this far! But the genie is out of the bottle!"
What will or would we call Chaz Bono? Mother, Father? or are we restricted by political correctness to discuss the ramifications of his relationship and its impact on marriage, divorce, custody and child care.
I guess transgenderism is next. What happens when two mommies split up because "One mommy became a daddy and my other mommy doesn't like her anymore?"
Everything is OK except Mother and Father, lets not embody those terms into our culture. We are heading "Forward" off the cliff into the abyss of insanity. Thanks to Obama ! O" Malley and yes Democrats. Their gift to the rest of us will be a culture that is unrecognizable in exchange for their blind and unrelenting ambition.
There could be no greater example of ignorance than Mr. O'Malley's repulsive argument that gay marriage is for the strengthening and stabilization of the family unit and for the protection of children.
This is totally Orwellian and thoroughly repugnant! Ladies and gentleman we are not playing word games; this action alters our entire futures. The unintended consequences of the misnomer "Marriage Equality" are massive.
Among them is the Fifth Commandment "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."
Honor thy Mother and thy Father. ...... not parental units!

Facial Hair Friday: A Musical Interlude
We interrupt our usual hairy programming to bring you this musical interlude.
What could be so important that we would skip mustaches, beards, and goatees?
Well, today marks the anniversary of the Washington, DC, premiere of This Is the Army, with songs written (and one performed) by Irving Berlin.
You would easily recognize Irving Berlin's songs "God Bless America," "White Christmas" and "Putting on the Ritz." But the citizens and soldiers of 1943 would have easily recognized "Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning."
When World War II broke out, Irving Berlin was already a very successful songwriter. During World War I, he had been drafted by the Army to raise morale through music, which he successfully did with his musical Yip! Yip! Yaphank. Now, three decades later, Berlin was ready to do the same for his adopted country again.
The result was the musical production This Is the Army. Although Laurence Bergreen notes in this Prologue article, "And in case the army didn't like it, he had another title in reserve: This Is the Navy. Or the Air Corps. Whatever. But his heart was with the army."
One of the most interesting aspects of the show was that the performers were soldiers, and this company was integrated. Originally minstrel-style songs had been sung by white performers in blackface in Yip! Yip! … [ Read all ]

ABB and GM to collaborate on electric car battery research
Project will examine the potential of reusing spent lithium-ion battery packs from GM's electric car, the Chevrolet Volt, as a means of providing cost-effective energy storage capacity, which will improve the efficiency of electrical systems as they evolve into smart grids.
ABB, a provider of automation technology, and General Motors have signed a non-exclusive memorandum of understanding to cooperate on a research and development project that will investigate uses for electric vehicle batteries once their useful life in the vehicle is over.
The project will examine the potential of reusing spent lithium-ion battery packs from GM's electric car, the Chevrolet Volt, as a means of providing cost-effective energy storage capacity, which will improve the efficiency of electrical systems as they evolve into smart grids.
"Future smart grids will incorporate a larger proportion of renewable energy sources and will need to supply a vast e-mobility infrastructure – both of which require a wide range of energy storage solutions," said Bazmi Husain, head of ABB's smart grids initiative. "We are excited to explore the possibility of employing electric car batteries in a second use that could help build needed storage capacity and provide far-reaching economic and environmental benefits."
According to GM, the Volt's battery will still have significant capacity to store electrical energy, even after its automotive life.
"That's why we're joining forces with ABB to find ways to make the Volt batteries provide environmental benefits that stretch beyond the highway," said Micky Bly, Executive Director of Electrical and Hybrid Systems, who announced the partnership at the EV Battery Tech conference in Troy, Michigan. "Our relationship with ABB will help develop solutions that optimize the full lifecycle of the Volt battery."
Economical grid storage is often identified as a key "enabler" technology of smart grids that will drive the wider use of a variety of applications, including:
- managing the intermittency of wind and solar resources
- mitigating spikes in electricity demand
- providing backup power
- allowing cheaper off-peak power to be used during peak periods
ABB is currently at work on more than 20 projects around the world examining all aspects of the smart grid, from energy storage to network management, metering and communication, distribution automation and home automation systems.

To all Scouters;
It's not very often when we get a chance to be part of something great. Joining scouts may go down as one of the best things in your life time. Where else can you go and earn and learn about merit badges, life skills and job opportunities at the same time while having fun doing it. When you look at the opportunities to camp, swim, and go places such as Boundary Waters in Minnesota, Sea Base in Florida, Philmont in New Mexico or even places such as "The Porcupines, Smokeys, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon and many more.
Scouting gives you opportunities that you normally would have never had let alone learning new skills such as Leadership, Mentoring, Character Building, Service work and so on. Don't waste the opportunities but embrace them and make the most out of your scouting career, it's only there once as scout and if you really work hard at it, it will pay dividends such as Order of the Arrow, Leadership Positions, Time Management Skills and yes even Eagle. It will open doors that normally would be closed to you and take you places you never dreamed about. Stay focused on whatever you set your goals on, but the two most important things not to lose track of is "Have Fun" and enjoy every minute along the Journey, and remember to give back.

Date: May 19, 2009
by: Observer staff
The Fuller family was visiting Longboat Key last week but received an unpleasant surprise when their dog, Maggie, a Siberian husky, went missing Friday night. She was last seen at the Longboat Key Publix. The Fullers were staying in the 3300 block of Gulf of Mexico Drive, but had to check out Saturday, even though Maggie was still missing.
After contacting local animal services, vet offices and rescue organizations, the family is asking for your help in finding its missing pet. If anyone has any information about Maggie's whereabouts, please call Kevin or Christie Fuller at 321-662-5642.

Tim Kolodziej
New Castle News
I don't normally ask this of you, but I have a favor.
Please watch the video at right, or below, before you read my blog today. Mere words can't begin to describe what you'll see, so it's better to sit back and allow the visuals to invade your senses.
Afterward, scroll down and we can discuss what you've witnessed.
Sound like a plan? Good. Let's connect again in a few minutes.
Wasn't that just too cool?
THAT'S why I coach.
THAT'S why I lead.
THAT'S why I write.
THAT'S why I love to be around young people as they discover their unique gifts and, even more important, learn that it's OK to share them with the world.
There are dozens of potential takeaways from the video, but here are five important lessons to ponder as you watch it again — and share it with your friends.
1) REHEARSE YOUR COMFORT — It's obvious that Nathan Chan and Michael Province have put in the work. No one plays that beautifully without hours and hours of disciplined effort to improve.
So, as we can see, preparation breeds confidence — and a level of extreme comfort.
You don't think abour your surroundings. You don't focus on what might go wrong.
When you're prepared, you just DO.
The lesson: Don't practice until you get it right. Practice until you CAN'T get it wrong.
2) PLAY PRESENT — Your workday won't always go perfectly. Your game won't always flow perfectly. Your homework, marriage or friendships won't either.
Just play through it. Nathan and Michael did.
Listen closely and you'll hear a couple of notes that veered from their original destination. Who cares? Just get back on the path to Perfection and eventually you'll see plenty of signs for Excellence. That's ALWAYS a good place to sit for a spell.
The lesson: There are no such things as mistakes — there are only learning opportunities. So, go ahead and experiment. Get sweaty and dirty. Extend beyond your comfort zone. True greatness always lies just outside our original grasp. Learn from your experiences and reach just a little farther.
3) TRUST YOUR ROLE — Why did Nathan choose the cello? Why did Michael vie for the violin?
It's what their hearts desired.
Think these guys are heroes in the hallways at school? Maybe, but I've completed high school and my guess is not. That's what makes this video even more special. They were compelled to take a certain route to joy — and they didn't give in to peer pressure or fear.
How about you? What do you feel drawn to? What special talent might you be hiding because it's not "cool?"
The lesson: Please do live your life for others — yes, give your life away daily — just don't let others decide what YOUR gift will be. God has created you as a unique masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made, and He delights when we find pleasure in the desires and talents He's asked us to steward and share. And the really cool thing is, so will you.
4) FIND JOY IN THE JOURNEY — Take another look at the faces of these young men. They love what they do. They even break out into laughter on a couple of occasions.
Wouldn't it be awesome if youth sports coaches could help their players compete that way?
In other words, do athletic contests ALWAYS have to be called a "battle" or a "war?" Or have those terms stemmed from our own anger issues and insecurity?
The lesson: Play hard. Play with passion. Play to win. But always remember, it's "play." Don't forget to have fun in games.
5) SIMPLICITY SHINES — You probably noticed early on that Nathan and Michael are in a sparse room, in front of a drab wall and non-descript table.
Then you forget where they are and simply focus on the music and the boys.
The lesson: Fundamentals can be a beautiful thing. Sure, flash is fun. Lasers and lights often add life to a performance. Colors can heighten our senses. But there's something to be said for simplicity. More isn't always more. Bigger isn't always bigger.
And once isn't always enough.
So go ahead, watch the video again. But this time, reflect on the lessons we've just explored:
•Trust your preparation and let it rip.
•Despite a few potholes along the way, just keep driving.
•Know who you are — and embrace your role.
•Enjoy the journey. Smile, laugh and play! In reality, every day is Christmas and you're just opening a present and showing it off.
•Sometimes, simple can be sensational.
And sometimes, as we've just witnessed, an uplifting performance can remind all of us what to do when we're tempted to look around and trade our unique talents for someone else's ...
Let it be.
Nathan and Michael rock it!

UK Border Police can take your phone, and everything inside it
What Governments are doing in relation to our phones is a hot topic at the moment, but a new report out of the UK claims that the Border Police can seize your phone and download all the data within it. The procedure can be applied under a domestic anti-terror law, with a blanket power so broad that reasonable suspicion doesn't even need to be established before hand. The report comes by way of UK newspaper The Telegraph:
Officers use counter-terrorism laws to remove a mobile phone from any passenger they wish coming through UK air, sea and international rail ports and then scour their data.
The blanket power is so broad they do not even have to show reasonable suspicion for seizing the device and can retain the information for "as long as is necessary".
Affected data can include call history, contacts, photos, and who the person is texting or emailing, but not the content of the messages. All border crossings fall under this, be that airports, seaports, even the international rail crossing between the UK and France. An independent reviewer of terror laws, David Anderson QC, is expected to raise concerns and recommend proper checks to ensure this power isn't being abused.
Given the furore across the water at this time, this latest report is surely not going to sit well with travellers to the UK, and even nationals. Speaking personally as a Brit, I can imagine how I'd feel if I were presented with this upon my return from a trip. What do you guys think? A step too far under the cover of 'anti-terror,' or are you happier that action is being taken at all?
Source: The Telegraph
There are 18 comments. Add yours.
I would have liked to see some UK sights someday, but this is a deal-breaker.
Well, Richard, in order to keep consistent I will not be visiting the UK until they backtrack from that stupid law. Pretty much the same with the US. It is a bit of a bother because that cuts on scientific conferences, but... there is no reason that it stops if no one is taking action. Pretty sad.
Stay away from UK people, it's not safe. Or backup your phones on a flash drive/external hard drive and nuke your phones.
Isn't that in line with what the TSA can do in the U.S.?
In any case, there's one thing you can do to stop this:
Have a strong passcode on your device and have it set to being entered every time you switch on the device.
This is an inconvenience, sure, but at least on iOS devices it means that nobody can snoop around in your data.
Yes, but what if the authorities say that you must unlock the device in order to allow them to download the data?
P.S.: What if people would joke around with the content, and get accused of terrorism? Totally worthless act of precautions.
Sure, I'll unlock the phone for the authorities, but only after I have been served a court order.
That's the point here; in the UK European law is in effect and without reasonable cause or a court order they can't force me to relinquish this data.
Plus, I might just happen to "forget" my passcode......who's going to determine if I'm being dishonest or if I'm really just forgetful?? "I'm so sorry, I've entered my usual passcode 5 times & it won't unlock.....my kid must have changed it when I let him play with it before I left"
"Affected data can include call history, contacts, photos, and who the person is texting or emailing, but not the content of the messages. "
So they have my phone and they look through the list of text message recipients. You telling me they won't open one too?
If they think that the contents of the message are suspicious, they could open it up and take a look. Who knows what the small print is hiding...
Nice story but total rubbish I'm afraid. I'm an investigator with the UK Customs and we need authority under an act of parliament called Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) to view or hear anything stored on a remote server (like voicemail or call listing data), which involves a long application process. Yes we can seize a handset after an offence has been detected if we think it may have evidence of the offence on it but surely you would expect that wouldn't you? Border Force officers may view a handset if they have reasonable grounds to suspect it contains prohibited material (like child porn). Do you really think Customs can be bothered or are interested in viewing what's on some innocent persons phone? Grow up.
You sound very naive. I've been into a lot of high security places and I KNOW that they find the time to laugh and joke about security leave escorted people unescorted, and leave applications and documents all over ther desks.
They can be bothered and are interested.
Before we in the US get too smug, DHS asserts warrantless search rights of electronic devices at our borders, too:
Yep. Here in the US, under a policy issued by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2008, US Customs and Border agents have the authority to search travelers mobile devices (including portable hard drives) and seize them indefinitely. And they can search your stuff without any suspicion of wrongdoing:
"In the course of a border search, and absent individualized suspicion, officers can review and analyze the information transported by an individual attempting to enter, reenter, depart, pass through, or reside in the United States, subject to the requirements and limitations provided herein."
These psychopaths at DHS hide behind the same terrorism boogyman to justify indiscriminately grabbing your phone and your crotch, while failing to catch the real bad guys.
It's intimidating, ineffective, and it sucks.
The San Diego paper makes an interesting point, that this could disproportionately hurt CA companies as diverse as Apple, Google, and Disney. These firms all rely on selling to/servicing foreign consumers, who may be less willing to look favorably on Made in America. The timing could not be worse for Apple's "designed in California" campaign.
Being in transit in London last november, I was wondering why they were requesting almost all iPhone for check up, what to they want to find ? ... Now that gives me some possible answers.
But I also notice it was apparently focussed only on iPhone/iPod devices, I havent seen any request for BlackBerry, Android and/or Windows phone (maybe I havent notice). Well in fact they were specifically asking if we were travelling with an iPhone.
Another ploy to take away people's rights in the name of 'anti-terror.' We are beginning to live in our own sci-fi movie.

The Nebraska Supreme Court rejected a motion Friday for post-conviction relief by an Omaha man sentenced to life in prison for the 2003 shooting death of another man.
Edward Robinson Jr. was convicted of killing 28-year-old Herbert Fant in February 2003 after arguing with him. Fant was found dead in a car parked in a restaurant lot, shot several times in the chest and abdomen.
The state's high court affirmed Robinson's conviction on direct appeal in 2006 and he filed a motion for post-conviction relief. Such motions are filed after all other appeals have been exhausted.
Robinson argued in his post-conviction appeal that he was denied a fair trial because his lawyer was ineffective, but the Nebraska Supreme Court rejected those arguments.

Game analysis: St. Bonaventure won't defend its Atlantic 10 Tournament championship after the heavily favored Bonnies lost to last place Fordham on Saturday, 76-72. Even with the loss, Bona still had a chance to land the 12th and final seed in this week's A-10 Tournament until Charlotte won at home against Saint Joseph's.
How St. Bonaventure lost: There were times this season where the Bonnies couldn't guard a glass of water and Saturday was one of them. Fordham shoots often shoots as if the game were played in the dark but somehow connected on 55.2 percent for the game. Rebounding was a trouble spot for the undersized Bonnies all season and they were outrebounded 35-24.
Turning Point: Fordham led by a point when Mandall Thomas hit what proved to be the winning 3-pointer with 22.1 seconds left.
Player of the Game: Thomas, a freshman and Rochester native, scored 22 points. Afterwards he told a story about not being recruited by Bonnies and was informed by coach Mark Schmidt, "it's not going to work out," after Thomas played some pick-up games against the Bonnies players. Thomas is a near lock to make the A-10 All Freshman team so things obviously fell into place for Fordham.
All in the family: Thomas' father, Chad, played for Rochester East High and Rhode Island in the 90s.
Key stat: Demitrius Conger and Eric Mosley hit eight of Bona's nine 3-pointers.
He's No. 1: Michael Davenport became the program's career leader in games played with 127. The Cincinnati native surpassed David Messiah-Capers' record of 126, set from 1995-2000. Andrew Nicholson is third on the list with 123 games played – the only four-year player in school history with 120 or more career games played. Davenport was one of four seniors honored on Saturday, joining Conger, Mosley and Chris Johnson.
He's back: Former Canisius coach Tom Parrotta is an assistant coach at Fordham which is also his alma mater.
What It Means: Bona finished its season at 14-15 overall and 7-9 in the A-10.
In the House: 4,515 at the Reilly Center.
He said It: "I just think we didn't rise to the occasion. We just came in thinking we were going to beat the team without showing up. Just like Coach said we need to show up every night. It's not we've got a whole NBA team and NBA player on our team. The bottom line is we didn't play hard enough and we didn't rebound at all as a team. The bigs didn't rebound and that's what hurt us more." - St. Bonaventure center Youssou Ndoye.
Up next: End of season.

My new wife could use some help in the kitchen.
If you gave me the code, she could get the app on her iPod touch, and possible save me from food poisoning.
Martha looks pretty hot in that picture. But for real, I have an app called Cookmate and some of the recipes are pretty good. Sure would like to try some of Martha's....and what's better than for free...of course, courtesy of TiPb!
My wife and I are trying to lose wieght and having this app would help with meal ideas and allow us to manage our weekly shopping lists more easily.
I can always use some new recipes for dinner. Martha is definitely a good cook. I might not be anywhere near as good as she is, but this would help.
Martha must have dreamed these up while she was in jail....curious to see and try the recipes.
Well.. I'm always hungry. Good food in a hurry is always welcome.
So sad I have to download this in order to see boo...
I kid I kid!!!!!
I love to try new recipes, especially search for them on the go! I would LOVE this app!
I would like to do more to help my wife around the house. I think cooking would be a great way to help and something she'd appreciate. Unfortunately my cooking sucks, but I can follow recipies. Let's see if Marthas app really works by letting me try it. I am sure my family would appreciate it as much as I.
I've had some success with Martha's FOOD mag recipes. I especially like her mushroom ragout -- but that's besides the point. XD;
It'd be nice to have them on my iphone instead of searching through piles of magazines for a single recipe. It's such a pain to find the recipe you need.
It would be useful to have this app while out shopping for groceries ... but, more importantly, my wife is a huge fan of Martha Stewart and would absolutely love this app. :Fingers crossed:
It's hard to look at her being so nice and perfect in the kitchen and think about her wearing a jail outfit. She's trying to build her empire back up, watch out!! Run for your lives!!
I love to try new recipes and am always pulling things up in Safari on the iPhone--how much easier to have them in an app rather than bookmarks and many open windows I'm saving to remember to try the recipe.
I'm learning how to cook since I just got laid off, to save money. Anything would help at this stage. :(
Finally prison cuisine comes to everyone.
I've been a heavy set guy all of my life. I try so hard to eat healthy. but only if I knew how to cook healthy. I know I could just google something but it's not quite like having it on your iPhone. This app may be the start to my healthy life.
I'm not naming names, but some in my home could always use a little help in the kitchen.
interested in the recipes
Maybe there is a hidden area with insider trading tips
A little menu variety would certainly pleased my tastebud.
Hey, I'm unemployed (for nine months) and Everyday Food is one of the shows provided free over the air on PBS (I gave up cable). Why not get a free iPhone app to go along with the program. Plus, I love the food! -Thanks.
I'm the chef in my home, and if there's one thing I need, it's a helping hand. I made great progress with A Man, A Can and a Microwave, and I want to step things up a bit. My wife works hard, and deserves an awesome dinner. Martha can deliver! Or, rather, keep me from ordering delivery. Either way.
This would be super useful for planning meals while not at home or near a computer. I have always been pleased with Everyday Food's recipes, they are simple and quick to make.
My wife is a great cook, being French and all :-) But with an 8 month old baby girl, I would like to do more cooking and my wife is tired of my famous "chili dogs" so I could really use an app like this to increase what I can make.
I need some help with meal ideas- between work and our 3-year-old we never seem to have the time, energy, or ideas to make a nice meal on weeknights.
Definitely need some help with quick and tasty breakfast recipes!
I find it significant that Martha Stewart made such a recovery after going to prison. Most would have assumed that would have finished her career, but not a chance!
Speaking of Walt Disney, was the man himself cremated or frozen in a cryonics chamber? I have read both. Which one is true?

A cold front will move through Mid-Missouri Monday, increasing our rain chances for the start of the work week. Some spotty showers will be possible as early as Monday morning near Highway 65, but more scattered storms are likely through the afternoon.
No severe weather is expected and heavy rain is not likely. Rainfall amounts should be less than .25" for much of the area. However, if you pick up on a heavier downpour because of a storm, you could have locally higher rainfall.
Most of the rain will move out of the region by Tuesday morning, but there could be a chance of spotty showers/storms near the Lake of the Ozarks and I-44 corridor Tuesday.
The cold front will usher in unseasonably cool weather for the rest of the week. Highs will only reach the upper 70s Wednesday through Friday and lows drop into the mid 50s by Wednesday night.

Marantz IS301 (Silver/Black)
Wireless/wired universal iPod dock
Marantz's engineers saw two fundamental flaws with the typical iPod dock. First of all, they replace the iPod's intuitive menu with a much harder to use interface. Secondly, they remove all the portability that makes the iPod so convenient. So Marantz designed a dock that fixes those flaws — plus a ton of other great features.
Includes IR and RS-232C connections for control of Marantz receivers; iPod not included

Oct. 30, 2012
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- For the first time in program history, the Florida State men's basketball team enters a new season as the reigning Atlantic Coast Conference Champions. The Seminoles are also in the top 25 of both the USA Today Coaches and Associated Press preseason polls for the first time.
Both are unfamiliar feelings for a team that won its first title in the nation's premier college basketball conference a season ago.
But they aren't the only unfamiliar things about the 2012-13 Seminoles.
Just look at the roster.
All-America candidate Michael Snaer is back, so too are proven playmakers Okaro White, Ian Miller and a healthy Terrance Shannon. Terry Whisnant II and Kiel Turpin are there as well and expect to have increased roles. But the same isn't true for a host of other 'Noles that had a hand in turning FSU into a champion as Luke Loucks, Deividas Dulkys, Bernard James, Xavier Gibson, Jon Kreft and Jeff Peterson have all graduated.
Six returnees. Six losses.
"I believe that we have a group of guys returning that I think is going to give us some tremendous leadership and stability to keep us moving forward," FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said. "I also think we have an underrated group of youngsters coming in that might be able to contribute right away. We're very excited about this group as a whole, and because we have added some really good players to an already talented group, we feel confident that we will continue to grow as a team."
Hamilton's confidence that his new-look 'Noles can be successful isn't a surprise considering the talent on the roster.
Snaer is widely considered one of the best on-ball defenders in the nation and one of the top two-guards in all of college basketball. Over the summer he was even recognized as a pre-season First-Team All-American by Blue Ribbon -- the first such honor for an FSU basketball player in the program's history.
The MVP of the 2012 ACC Tournament, Snaer helped propel the 'Noles towards history and to a 25-10 overall record last year with a team-best 14.0 points per game, including buzzer-beater 3-pointers in wins against Duke and Virginia Tech. Snaer's decision to return for his senior season and not enter the NBA early helps ease the loss of those six other veterans and set the tone for his fellow returnees and newcomers.
"Michael continues that 'I'm going to be the hardest working one on the team' type of attitude," Hamilton said, "and I think that his leadership and his work ethic and determination is becoming the attitude of our team."
If Snaer's work ethic is contagious, than Shannon's determination is equally inspiring. The redshirt junior continued what has been an unfortunate trend during his career last season when he went down with a season-ending injury. His dedication to the rehabilitation and ability to bounce back and be healthy enough for the start of the season helps ease the losses in FSU's front court.
Like Shannon, White possesses a great deal of experience that will assist the Seminoles' search for the most effective rotation in the paint. Turpin has added much-needed weight and factors into that gameplan as well.
Miller also returns for his junior season after averaging 10.3 points per game last season while becoming a strong offensive force for the Seminoles - and one the team could rely on in crunch time. Whisnant didn't get to play very much behind Snaer, Miller and Dulkys but the coaching staff has high hopes that he'll be a much-needed contributor this season.
"We really love his potential and he has worked really hard and made some tremendous progress," Hamilton said. "We like the end potential where he can play some point and some two, we can bounce him back between both positions which gives us versatility."
Whisnant and Turpin know what FSU's newcomers will be going through this season as they get acclimated to big-time college basketball and compete for roles on Hamilton's team.
One of those roles could be at point guard where Loucks' veteran savvy and control of the offense will certainly be missed. True freshman Devon Bookert excelled as a passer during his school basketball days in Anchorage - yes, he came to FSU all the way from Alaska before a one-year pit stop from prep school in Las Vegas - and Montay Brandon is a versatile, 6-foot-7 ½ playmaker that could play either guard spots.
On the wing, 6-foot-5 scorer Aaron Thomas will be a welcome addition for the `Noles' future and its present depth. The same is true for forward Robert Gilchrist, who was one of the most sought-after junior-college prospects in this past recruiting cycle.
Florida State may have lost the collective size of James, Gibson and Kreft but have added to the roster two seven-footers in Michael Ojo and Boris Bojanovsky.
While Ojo (all 7-foot-1, 290 pounds of him) is still a very raw but intriguing prospect, Bojanovsky could have an early impact. At 7-foot-3, the Bratislava, Slovak Republic native is the tallest player in the history of the program and possesses the ability to post up in the paint or step out and shoot a smooth jump-shot.
"I think we are going to be a faster paced team," Snaer said. "The guards are a little but more quick than the guys that graduated. They can change direction much quicker. The new guys that we have allow us to be a lot more mobile. We have bigs that can step all the way out to the three and shoot the ball so we can stretch the floor.
"I think we are going to be a lot more up-tempo this year."
With returnees guiding that charge and newcomers taking their lead, Florida State's highly anticipated 2012-13 season gets started tonight with an exhibition game against Lincoln Memorial another warm-up game against St. Leo a week later. The Seminoles officially begin the regular-season Nov. 9 at home against South Alabama at 7 p.m.
