Man found guilty in 1975 cold-case killing in Richmond Beach
Posted by Jennifer Sullivan
A King County jury today found a man guilty of second-degree murder in a cold-case slaying from 1975.
James Groth, 50, was a suspect in the slaying of 16-year-old Diana "Dinah" Peterson since shortly after her body was found in the yard of her family's Richmond Beach home.
Over the years, the King County Sheriff's Office investigated two people in the Valentine's Day slaying: Peterson's then-19-year-old boyfriend and Groth, who was the victim's 16-year-old neighbor at the time. While both have been investigated in the fatal stabbing -- decades apart -- only Groth was charged.
Groth and Peterson were classmates at the former Shoreline High School. Investigators say he was infatuated with her and was often at the Peterson home.
On the night of Feb. 14, 1975, Peterson, a friend and Groth were watching television in the basement of the Peterson home. Peterson's mother agreed to let her daughter go with other friends to a nearby pizza parlor as long as she returned by 10:30 p.m. Groth stayed behind.
George Peterson found her daughter's body the next morning.
Groth, a former fisherman, was charged with first-degree murder in December 2007.

The Obama administration is sticking to a plan to develop controversial new warheads for the U.S. nuclear arsenal, but opponents of the project are holding out hope that officials could still change course.
When it rolled out its fiscal 2014 budget request last year, the administration included a 25-year plan that it said could ultimately reduce the number of warheads in the stockpile by creating weapons suited for multiple tasks.
The first such warhead, to be called the "IW-1," would replace both the existing W-78 warhead currently fitted on Air Force ground-based missiles, as well as the W-88 warhead currently used on Navy submarine-based missiles.
The proposal prompted concerns from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, in part due to a dramatic projected cost surge starting around the year 2018, and continuing through 2024 and perhaps beyond. At its peak in the early 2020s, this spending "bubble" would reach a level of nearly $3 billion per year — more than double what the United States currently spends on warhead life-extension programs.
The dramatic increase largely would have been the result of the number of warhead-refurbishment projects going on simultaneously during that time period. But by sliding the IW-1 project back by five years as part of a revised plan the administration issued with its fiscal 2015 budget request this year, the uptick in projected spending between now and the early 2020s is far less steep.
It remains to be seen, however, whether a similar spending surge would occur later in the 2020s or early 2030s, notes Stephen Young, a senior analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists.
"The bottom line is that they certainly have made the next 10 years appear to be far more sustainable, but "¦ it certainly looks that when they have [multiple] warheads in production, they'll have a bump in [spending] again," said Young.
As an opponent of the plan to build interoperable warheads, Young said he has concerns that extend beyond cost alone. On the technical side, he worries that the creation of interoperable warheads could create safety risks.
One of the National Nuclear Security Administration's goals is for the IW-1 warhead to use insensitive high explosives, which are believed to be safer than conventional high explosives used for setting off a nuclear-warhead implosion, Young notes. In order to do this, officials will have to mix and match parts from the two existing weapons the IW-1 is meant to replace, a move that he fears could create its own unforeseeable risks.
Along with some other nuclear watchdogs, Young would prefer that the administration stick with known quantities, and simply refurbish the existing W-78 and W-88 warheads as they are.
The administration, however, argues that the plan to transition to interoperable warheads fits within its goal of reducing the overall number of warheads in the U.S. arsenal as it works toward complying with the New START arms-control deal with Russia.
"One of the main reasons that we are moving to interoperable warheads is so that we can actually reduce the size of the hedge," Acting NNSA Administrator Bruce Held said last week, referring to extra warheads the United States holds in reserve.
"The [interoperable warhead] strategy allows us to maintain a safe, secure and reliable deterrent based on a smaller" arsenal, said Held, speaking at a hearing of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces.
During a separate hearing before the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces last week, Held warned that additional budget cuts in future years would "break" the current life-extension strategy and "put the nation in a very difficult position," with "implications for our nuclear deterrent and "¦ our ability to reduce the size of the stockpile."
Previously, the Obama administration had strongly opposed cuts to the interoperable program that Congress implemented for fiscal 2014, along with a requirement that it more thoroughly study alternatives to the strategy before fully committing to the plan. It was able to salvage the overall strategy — which calls for the development of a total of three interoperable warheads — by pushing the IW-1 plan back by five years, however.
Now, the revised stockpile stewardship and management plan is "really pretty rock bottom" and can no longer survive additional cuts, Held said.
In particular, he raised concerns about the safety of aging facilities where weapons work is completed and potential delays to plans to replace them.
"An area of increasing concern for me is nuclear safety," Held said. "Our infrastructure for enriched uranium in Oak Ridge [Tennessee] is 70 years old — we can't wait until the year 2038 to get new facilities."
Young and other critics have argued, however, that the United States might be able to save money — and thus give itself some more ability to cope with future budget constraints — if it simply refurbished the existing warheads.
One Capitol Hill aide noted last June that while NNSA estimates put the cost of the IW-1 project at roughly $14 billion over 10 years, refurbishment of the Navy's other nuclear warhead, the W-76, is costing "only about $3 or $4 billion."
In addition, Young says he isn't convinced the interoperable warhead strategy would necessarily lead to overall stockpile reductions. In any case, he argues, any such cuts would be a long way off.
Young points to language in the fiscal 2014 stockpile stewardship and management plan that originally rolled out the interoperable warhead strategy. It says that "when fully implemented" the strategy will offer "the potential to consider" reductions to the stockpile hedge. The revised fiscal 2015 version of the document does not offer any additional insight regarding the timing of potential reductions, Young said.
"That would be roughly in the 2045 timeline before they finish" building all the interoperable warheads, he said. "So we're talking about maybe in 30 years we can think about cutting the hedge. "¦ It's just ridiculous."
In a response provided to Global Security Newswire by NNSA Deputy Press Secretary Derrick Robinson, the agency acknowledged that it can't "guarantee" the reduction in the hedge.
"What we can do is execute, in coordination with the [Nuclear Weapons Council], the 3+2 strategy for stockpile modernization which will provide greater flexibility in hedging the active stockpile," the agency says. Under the strategy, the future U.S. arsenal would comprise three warhead designs, one of which would be interoperable on ballistic missiles, another on bombs and the third on cruise missiles.
Any decision to move forward with a hedge reduction "would be made by the president in consultation with" the Defense and Energy departments "and any other appropriate government agency," according to the NNSA statement.
While critics argue the United States might be able to modernize its nuclear forces with less money, some Republicans in Congress continue to argue the administration is not requesting enough funds for the project.
Senator David Vitter (R-La.) and others during budget hearings last week hauled out oversized charts depicting how the United States has so far spent less per year on nuclear-weapons modernization than the Obama administration projected during political negotiations over New START ratification in 2010.
Not all pro-nuclear advocates are necessarily wedded to the interoperable strategy, though.
Sherman McCorkle, leader of the new Strategic Deterrent Coalition that aims to convince Americans of the importance of maintaining the stockpile at a time of fiscal difficulty, told GSN in February that the group is not opposed to studying the interoperable strategy in more detail before deciding whether to commit to the plan.
"That decision is not yet ripe," McCorkle said.

Special counsel Robert Mueller "is now demanding documents from the department overseeing his investigation."

"President Donald Trump would not insist on including repeal of an Obama-era health insurance mandate in a bill intended to enact the biggest overhaul of the tax code since the 1980s, a senior White House aide said on Sunday. The version of tax legislation put forward by Senate Republican leaders would remove a requirement in former President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law that taxes Americans who decline to buy health insurance."

When you're a busy founder, it can be easy to let your network whither, but meeting up in person isn't optional. Here's why. By Jessica Stillman (Editor, Women 2.0)
You're busy, we get it. As a founder or passionate technologist, your work is bound to seep out of traditional boundaries and suck up a tremendous amount of energy, making it hard to find the time to meet up with old friends or make new connections. Or to put it another way, after a 12-hour, full-on day at the office it can be pretty tough to muster the will to get out of the house to talk to actual humans.
But here's why you should suck it up and do it anyway.
We interviewed participants in our monthly Founder Friday events, which bring together a diverse group of innovators for inspiration and actual, in-person communion. The genuine social ties nurtured by signing off Facebook and showing up impacted these founders' businesses and ives to such a degree that this sort of connection really can't be thought of an optional extra. Here are three reasons it's essential.
Sounding Board
Sure, you probably spend huge chunks of time "talking" to customers and colleagues on Skype, social media or other tech channels, but there is still something special about getting your feedback face to face.
"I got to meet Julia Hartz of EventBrite at Founder Friday," KidAdmit founder Tejal Shah says. "We had so much in common: working with our husbands, two kids, living in SF, so I introduced myself and we had a little chat. A week later we decided to meet up. I ended up sharing my idea and company to her and she was amazing in giving me feedback."
The magic of in-person feedback has other advocates. On Fast Company Kevin Purdy has noted that, "as much fun as 10-person, 20-message email roundtables about the proper name for the new project can be, there's a lot of context, personality, and creativity lost when you don't argue things out in person." Talking to people in person will force you to articulate your vision as well as giving you more nuanced feedback by allowing you to not only hear what people have to say but also how they're saying it (and exactly what sort of person the feedback is coming from).
Battery Pack (aka Courage on Tap)
Given the right sort of environment, in person socializing can also give you the courage (and energy) of community. This can be particularly important for women who can feel isolated in the still male-dominated tech industry. "What was awesome is that I was surrounded by three female CTOs, which I thought was amazing. I'd never been to an event where that had ever happened before. Like never, ever," Christine Lemke, co-founder of AchieveMint, said of attending Founder Friday.
The effect was powerful. "Super, super energizing," she says of the experience. Tejal agrees saying meeting other founders "gave me the encouragement to start KidAdmit."
Free Head Shrinking
It may not be the most talked about aspect of startup life, but founding a company can be brutal on your mental health. Inc. recently broke the taboo by highlighting these costs. "We idolize the Mark Zuckerbergs and the Elon Musks. And we celebrate the blazingly fast growth of the Inc. 500 companies. But many of those entrepreneurs, like Smith, harbor secret demons: Before they made it big, they struggled through moments of near-debilitating anxiety and despair--times when it seemed everything might crumble," writes Jessica Bruder.
Getting out and talking to others facing similar pressures can help. "It's a really difficult journey and to hear [people] talk openly about the challenges of it and also have everybody encouraging each other, it's just incredibly inspiring," Christine says. "Sometimes, when I'm mired in the tactical details of our business, Founder Friday gives me a chance to share experiences, questions and perspectives. It's a much-needed recharge," she adds.
So whether you want to improve your ideas, your energy levels or your mental state, the cure is the same: get out and talk to someone face to face.
Join us at the next Founder Friday in your city!

Here i walk to birth myself as life and establish a place which is best for all
Day 200: A mile of stones
i know this is the 200th blog i write, altough NOT the 200th day since i first started this journey to life.
and in the moment of preparing myself to write (close all applications, open the browser...) i experienced this resistance and backchat of "oh i don't wanna write now!" "let me just sleep!" "please i want to NOT be here in front of computer and write the 200th blog!" "just play a bit instead" "let's do something other than that!" and alike that would have came if i would allowed them to...i mean here would been an endless amounts of justifications and thoughts and stuff JUST to stop me from writing this exact post...funny, how i as the mind try to stop the inevitable.
so let me write about milestones!
it is interesting that in my own language we say the same thing straightly translated, or say "turning point" which is too long to be used frequently.
apparently i developed a fear of milestones, i mean the mental ones, not the real mile stones that are marking the miles from a city to another to be able to know how far are you from the central point, no.
what is a milestone?
"a milestone is an event that receives special attention. It is often falsely put at the end of a stage to mark the completion of a work package or phase."
"a milestone may also signify an important decision or the derivation of a critical piece of information, which outlines or affects the future of a project. In this sense, a milestone not only signifies distance traveled (key stages in a project) but also indicates direction of travel since key decisions made at milestones may alter the route through the project plan."
even more interesting.
so if this is "strictly" for project management (which is not a really old concept/term) then how come i engraved and intertwined myself within and as this point?
oh when i look at the TABE the is on the first link(which is a redirection lol) it is a table do describe the developement "stages" of a human child from birth to 6 year old.
i mean i understand i can look at childRAISING as a project that requires quite a lot of managing yet it is really awkaward to see THIS MUCH correlation and connection between these two points.
of course the answer to how? and why? is simple as always.
why do we DEFINE human development with categories and milestones that divide it to time-frames?
the mind works and functions in systems, variables, numbers, tables, and charts, and of course images. to be able to understand a continuous process, it has to put stages and separators in it, to be able to reference and separate the "different" parts and store it as a system.
our computer works the same! to be able to "record" any data to a computer, like this text for instance, the computer has to translate these inputs(the keys pressed) to bits(binary system 1-s and 0-s) then mark these on a storage device (first the RAM works in voltage difference, then a hard drive that is magnetically stored as - and neutral) and mark that place giving it a title a name a tag a filetype and all that sort of stuff. it is a sorting/storing system, that in effect creates a physical representation of the information recorded.
so in order for me within and AS the mind to understand/store a process and all the information&knowledge about it, i categorize and order and store it.
how and why do we apply a systematised table to present the process of development? to be able to understand and store the information quickly and effectively.
the only problem is, HERE is no milestones or separators between stages, i mean every process of life, like breathing and being's existance is CYCLIC, not A to B to C...it's always everywhere continuous! and mostly endless.
so i slice LIFE into small parts we call stages and at the end(or beginning, depending where you observe) i place "an event that receives special attention". thus marking the end(or beginning) of a stage. therefore based on these milestones i can "navigate" in the information field because i essentially created a line/strip of information and placed markers on it, so when i go to find something on it i just fast-shearch the relevant markers and i don't have to go trough all the information. this is also called archiving, or compressing, or packing. of course this is done in a fractal like pattern to be able to store as much information as possible within and as the mind.
my first milestone was...my first birthday. this was the time i was introduced to this style of handling the physical world. of course there's one even before that, you birth-time but that is only once a special thing when it happened-but it will never happen again. kind of the reason to celebrate the anniversaries of it-to make up for that ONE missed moment in your life lol.
where are these milestones in my life? pretty much everywhere, even before schools as you can see in that above table the developement of the child is marked based on what types of expression or task he/she is able to succeed in. and i refer to them as "i learned to walk" "i learned to talk" which is a reference of the time frame from the beginning/starting to the end/finish(which is in the case of development is stupid because every skill one acquires is refined and corrected over and over until death) thus i can reference the damn things!
that means i can KEEP a part of MY PAST with me as a tight package, compressed information, so that i can give it to other minds and most importantly i can DEFINE MYSELF BASED ON IT.
so thats a self-definition based on the past, and actually the largest one i've ever seen/realized.
HERE it is clear because the physical world/reality is cyclic and endless that NO SUCH THING EXIST as a milestone. it is only an illusionary marker made up entirely by me within and as the mind, and it is way not a representation of physical reality.
altough another question arise here...can i mark JUST the beginning of processes? and my answer to that is definately yes. i can "mark" or define the exact moments of starting ANY process wether it's physical or mind/system one. here is always a definitive start-point-->STARTING POINT of anything. yet here is no end to any points. i mean points CAN stop existing, but that is only an end in the time dimension, while HERE when something "stops to exist" then it is the same as "never even existed" thus making nothing to it's end.
of course points can be re-created, and given a NEW STARTING POINT, and this is what i am doing in this blog series too! giving a new starting point to myself and all the things i have accepted and allowed myself to be and become existent.
thus fear of milestones is just fear of nothing really. and fearing what is not existent is just an illusion created to be able to utilize fear as a source of mind-controlled abuse of self to MINE energy from the body.
i will write down forgivenesses and commitments on these points "in time"


text: When I first became a christian I thought that if I believed in Jesus I would stop suffering one day. Then after some years later, I thought, if I only obeyed Jesus I would stop suffering. Then after some more time past I thought, if I only love Jesus my suffering would go. But no matter what I did, said or thought my suffering continued. Today I thought, my life can not be without suffering so its best I learn to put up with it because thats what things are like in a fallen, sinfull and broken world. And I dont think anyone can escape suffering all together.

Kid Danny Trailer (2014)
13 August 2014 Factual 18 mins
In the summer of 2001, a controversy unlike any other led to the disqualification of the Bronx baseball team from the Little League World Series. At the center of the bizarre story was a quiet, unassuming 14-year-old kid named Danny Almonte. Nicknamed "The Little Unit," the hard-throwing left-hander was exposed by Sports Illustrated as being too old to have competed in the tournament. The story instantly caught national and even international attention, as Danny was pushed into the spotlight and accused of cheating in the most sacred of all amateur sports. Twelve years later, the reclusive Almonte finally tells the truth about one of the strangest chapters in youth sports history: a hoax that would forever change the way people view amateur athletics in America.

This thoughtful collection of John Milton's finest poetry marks the quarter centenary of the poet's birth in 1608. It is read by several of Britain's foremost classical actors, including Anton Lesser, Samantha Bond, and Derek Jacobi.
Milton's uncompromising views set him firmly on the side of Cromwell, putting his life in danger when the Stuart monarchy was restored. But he is now remembered for Paradise Lost and a strong collection of other poetry which influenced successive generations. This collection offers an ideal overview, including the complete Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, excerpts from other major works, including Comus and Samson Agonistes, as well as sonnets and famous shorter poems such as "On his blindness", plus a biography of Milton.
The incomparable Derek Jacobi is completely in his element when reading Milton. His performance of the sonnet "On Shakespeare" seems particularly well suited to his voice, which is so closely associated with the Bard. Samantha Bond is equally comfortable with Milton's verse, and the two work well together in the selections that call for two voices. While PARADISE LOST is, no doubt, Milton's most well-known masterpiece, this recording includes only brief selections from it, totaling less than seven minutes. This is a wise editorial choice as it leaves room for some shorter and more accessible poems that showcase the work of these outstanding narrators.
"A tribute that should stand as a model for how to do a great writer honour....read by Anton Lesser, who excels as the doomed but magnificently heroic Lucifer." (The Times, London)

Known as the cathedral of train stations, this landmark of Victorian architecture (think spires and gargoyles) has been reborn as one of the city's most posh addresses. The grand staircase – decorated with restored neo-Gothic murals depicting the Seven Virtues and a domed celestial ceiling – is just as dazzling as the day Queen Victoria opened the hotel. Keep some time for Booking Office, the main hotel bar and restaurant, for a Billy Dawson Punch Rocks – the peel of two lemons, demerara sugar, rum, cognac, Batavia Arrack, porter and nutmeg, served in a handmade copper punch bowl.

It's electrifying!
So I know that at least one of you is asking "What has Cookie been up to?"
Well, where to begin.
About three, three and a half weeks ago, just as the husband and I were drifting off to sleep to the distant rumblings of thunder from spotty storms in the area, out of nowhere, a bolt of lightning went off. You read about it here.
We figured that the modem was the only thing that got wiped out. Case closed. Move on.
But it wasn't.
In the last three weeks we have seen things failing in the house that should be failing. First it was the modem. Then it compact fluorescent bulbs. Then the house alarm panel. All of this culminated last Sunday when the 100 amp circuit breaker went red hot and tripped, plunging us into darkness.
So we waited for it cool, and turned it back on. All was fine for about five minutes and it went again, red hot again. So we shut everything off, waited for it cool and reset it, and it stuck.
We also found a FABULOUS new electrician who offers 24 hour emergency service and he came out, replaced the breaker and charged $200 - for an emergency call. I almost came in my pants when he told us how much it was going to be. We were expecting $1,000 bill.
Mr. Electrician shows me the breaker and its all oily. Circuit breakers come with a little lubrication from the factory so they will trip with ease, under the right conditions.
"You guys get a Helluva surge? These aren't supposed to do this."
I explained what happened and how things were failing. The house has been tripping on and off. The guy said that we should keep an eye on the appliances. "TV's can take a surge and die a year later. That washer with electronic panel? Same thing. "
So I look him up on Angie's List and his company gets all A's and Page of Happiness award and a coupon for $500 off for a breaker box installation.
So, not wanting this to happen again, and thinking ahead to when we sell the cottage, I asked the dude how much was it to do a heavy up and go from 100amp service to 200amp service. We'd been talking about it for months anyway, and it doesn't hurt to ask. And if we put central air units in, we'd need it anyway.
So he does figuring and gives me a price and I plotz. Holy crap. I was expecting double. And BGE will run the 200 AMP wire from the pole to the house for free. "They want you to use more electric, so they make their money on the back end."
Anyhow Dude and his crew are coming in two weeks and are going to untangle the mess that is our house. Included in the price is a whole house surge protector and better outdoor grounding. And they are going to remove the remaining fuse lines as well.
And at Kabuki Zero's advice, and its pretty sound, we are replacing all of the surge protectors just to be on the safe side.
So thats where I have been. Shocking, isn't it.

Menuhin : A Life Paperback
by Humphrey, CBE Burton
Humphrey Burton's definitive Menuhin is the first full length, cradle-to-grave study of Yehudi Menuhin, one of the best known and best loved of the twentieth century's classical musicians.
Menuhin was born in New York of Russian Jewish immigrants.
He demanded to play the violin when only four and proved prodigiously gifted; newspapers were soon dubbing him 'Miracle Boy'.
He gave his first solo recital aged eight and within five years had acquired international fame, making triumphant appearances successively in Paris, New York, Berlin and London.
Outside purely musical matters Menuhin became renowned as an individualist who took a certain delight in shocking the establishment.
After the war his determination to build bridges with the defeated German nation brought him into sharp conflict with the Jewish musical intelligentsia in New York and public opinion in Israel. Later he spoke out against apartheid in South Africa and denounced the Soviet Union's oppressive policy towards writers and dissidents.
Meetings with presidents and prime ministers became an essential part of his schedule. Menuhin was a passionate devotee of yoga and his enthusiasm for Indian music led him to a fruitful partnership with Ravi Shankar; a delight in improvisation prompted another treasured duo with the jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli.
Humphrey Burton knew Menuhin well; they worked together on radio and television projects for forty years.
Drawing on contemporary sources, unpublished family correspondence and the interviews he conducted with Menuhin for an award-winning Classic FM radio series, Burton has bypassed the familiar image of the saint-like, philosophising violinist guru to create a compelling, multi-faceted portrait of an indisputably great musician who was also a complex human being.

Cap-and-tax job loss chart of the day; Plus: A Senate reading assignment
Photoshop: Leo Alberti
A reader with deep expertise in the mining industry took the time to break down the House members who voted yes to cap-and-tax on Friday by coal-producing state. He writes:
I just developed a table of all the Representatives from coal-producing states who voted for Cap & Trade. Included on the table is 2007 statistics for surface-mined and underground-mined coal production (1000s of st) from each of the coal-producing states; number of employees in the coal mining industry for each coal-producing state; number of union employees in the coal industry in each coal-producing state; and the Representative and district represented for each of the cretins who voted for Cap and Trade from, again, each of the coal-producing states.
It is interesting to note…that the coal mines are very capital intensive. That is, they require very large investments in capital equipment to mine the coal. Now, Harnischfeger Corp, a division of Joy Global, makes large mining shovels and draglines. Joy Global is based out of Milwaukee (100 East Wisconsin Ave., Suite 2780, Milwaukee). Its workers are likely union (I'm looking into the numbers and union affiliation), most likely Steel Workers, UAW and/or Teamsters. Joy Mining Machinery manufactures large, expensive underground mining machinery.
Bucyrus International is another manufacturer of large mining machinery–large shovels and draglines, large underground equipment. It, too, is based out of Milwaukee (PO Box 500, 1100 Milwaukee Ave., Milwaukee). It, too, is very much a union operation (Steelworkers , etc).
And then there's Caterpillar Corp. As we all know, it's based out of Peorial, Il. Steelworkers, too. Remember this:
"EAST PEORIA, Ill. – President Barack Obama's stimulus plan may be good for Caterpillar Inc., but the company's chief executive says the equipment maker will probably have to lay off more staff before it starts thinking about rehiring any of the more than 22,000 employees it already plans to cut.
Even if a stimulus plan passes, it likely will not have an effect on the economy until late this year or early 2010, CEO Jim Owens said after a town hall meeting with the president and Caterpillar workers at a company tractor plant here on Thursday."
The effect of Cap and Trade on the coal mines and their employees is only the tip of the iceberg. What about all the suppliers? These are just some of the big equipment manufacturers, but there are many, many smaller companies. What about the local suppliers of fuel oil to power those great big haul trucks. Fuel's going to go up, too.
I put together this table because it's not only the "Fool 8" republicans who voted for this atrocity that should be given the boot in 2010. Any and all of the Representatives from coal-producing states who voted for Cap and Trade should be given the Bum's Rush next election.
I've uploaded the entire spreadsheet from reader MINER51 here.
If you live in one of these states, be sure to send a copy to your Senate reps. Who knows? Maybe they'll actually read it before they vote.
On a related note, it seems like people are waking up to the story I blogged and columnized about last week regarding EPA's suppressed global warming study (see June 24 and June 26). Alan Carlin's study, which you read about in full here just past midnight on June 26, should be required reading for every single Senator before the cap-and-tax vote next week.
Anthony Watts has the final version of the report here.
I'd like to see someone read the entire study on the Senate floor.

Dental Insurance, What Should You Know
Dental insurance is not meant to be a pay-all. It's only meant to be an aid. You are very fortunate if you have dental insurance coverage and don't have to pay the entire dental fee plan out of your own pocket. Many patients don't have any dental insurance at all. Some patients have excellent dental insurance policies or dental credit, some have fair policies, and some have poor policies. Many plans tell you you'll be covered up to 80% - 100%. In spite of what you're told, most plans cover only 15% - 70% of the average dental fee plan. We realize that every bit of help you get from your insurance company is a big help, and we are glad you have coverage. However, it must be understood that how much your policy covers has already been determined by how much your employer paid for your insurance policy. The less he/she paid for the insurance, the less you'll receive.
FOR EXAMPLE: PLAN Costs a lot of money Costs 1/2 the amount Deductible is $50.00 Deductible is $100.00 Pays $84.00 on a filling Pays $35.00 on a filling Yearly maximum is $1,000 Yearly maximum is $800 It has been the experience of many dentists that some insurance companies tell their customers that "fees are above the usual and customary" rather than saying "our benefits are low."
Your insurance company sets the "allowables" or "a usual and customary dental fee plan" depending on how much your employer paid for your policy. It's just like your car insurance. The lower the benefits you choose, the less it costs you in premiums. Many necessary routine dentistry services are not covered by dental insurance at all. Again, what is covered and what is not is determined by what benefits and dental payment plan your employer purchased for you.
We do not believe it is in your best interest for your treatment to be compromised in order to accommodate an insurance policy's restrictions that may provide you with a quality of care that is considerably less than you deserve.
We strongly feel that you, not your insurance company, should choose the treatment you feel is best for you.

Go to Raffles City and Win Exclusive Oscars Merchandise as HBO Asia Gears Up For Live Telecast of the 88th Academy Awards
Are you one of those rooting for Leonardo diCaprio to finally get his Oscar this year? Or do you usually favour the dark horse of the list, like Bryan Cranston for his lead role in the autobiographical movie "Trumbo"?
Perhaps you aren't so bothered so much about the winners and losers but love to go googly-eyed on the fashion choices made by the celebrities as they walk down that long red carpet.
Celebrities, their guests and entourage are set to descend on Hollywood's glitziest awards event of the year - the 88th Academy Awards (or better known as the Oscars Awards) - tomorrow evening at 28 February U.S.A. time. Comedian Chris Rock is the host for the ceremonies. With the controversy about the lack of diversity plaguing this year's Oscars, Red Dot Diva is most curious to see how many more folks Chris Rock will insult while he's on stage.
If you have already taken leave from work and planned for a Monday morning Oscars watching party, HBO Asia will be bringing to you the award show LIVE from the Dolby Theatre® at Hollywood & Highland Center® in Hollywood.
Just tune into their cable channel on Starhub at the following times:
- Red Carpet arrivals - 8 AM (repeat telecast 7 PM)
- Award show - 9:30 AM (repeat telecast 8 PM)

In 1982, the World's Fair transformed our "scruffy little city," Knoxville, TN, into a bustling global hub. To commemorate this special occasion, World's Fair Beer was introduced. The brand released nine can designs and sold for six months in the great State of Tennessee. In celebration of the 35th anniversary of the '82 World's Fair, a group of Knoxvillians are resurrecting this redux brew to commemorate the Fair, give back to their city, and strike a chord of nostalgia in the hearts of all who partake.
For the 35th anniversary of World's Fair Beer, we're switching things up. While the original World's Fair Beer was a light lager brewed in another state, we want to do something a little more special this time around, as Tennesseans always do. While the can may look the same, the beer that is inside it is far from it.
Our beer is a pale ale that at 5.4% ABV and 35 IBUs, is smooth and approachable, but also bold and flavorful enough for those who crave an experience every time they crack one open. It has a deep orange color like a sunset over the Smoky Mountains. The aroma is bright like the reflection of the Sunsphere in the summertime. The flavor is bustling with tropical and piney hops. This beer greets you with a fruity aroma and finishes with a restrained bitterness, balanced with a crisp flavor. We hope you enjoy World's Fair Beer as much as we do. You can drink it out of the can or pour it in a glass; either way, just know that you are drinking a part of history and we are glad you have joined us for the ride.
World's Fair Beer is not just a beer. That would be too shallow. World's Fair Beer is an opportunity to love people well.
Whenever you're enjoying World's Fair Beer, you can feel good knowing that 20% of all profits are going back into our city to support the organizations that make a difference in the lives of Knoxvillians. Want to have a say in that? Let us know what organizations you think could use some extra funding.
"The beer that made Knoxville famous."
— PM Magazine
We are an eclectic team. We range far and wide in age, abilities, and experience. What holds a group of rascals like us together? A deep love for Knoxville and the people who call it home, a desire to do good unto others as HE called us to, and of course, to give you a great beer... "the beer that made Knoxville famous."

The primary endpoint was week-12 steroid-free remission defined by pediatric Crohn's disease activity index and CRP <0.5 mg/dL. The protocol required tapering off corticosteroids by week 11. Results: We analyzed 222 patients (mean age, 12.9 ± 3.2 yr) main evaluated treatment options included: 5-ASA (n = 29), exclusive enteral nutrition (n = 43), and corticosteroids (n = 114). Clinical remission at week 12 was achieved in 155 (73%) patients; both exclusive enteral nutrition and steroids were associated with normal CRP remission at week 12, although in a post hoc subgroup analysis exclusive enteral nutrition was superior in mild-to-moderate disease for this outcome. Among those in steroid-free remission in week 12, normal CRP predicted 1-year sustained remission (86% for normal CRP versus 61% for elevated CRP; P = 0.02). Baseline severity and early immunomodulation were similar in both groups. Conclusions: Normal CRP steroid-free remission at week 12 was impacted by type of induction therapy, but not by early immunomodulation. It was associated with more corticosteroids-free remission at week 52 and a trend for less relapses.

A press release on EurekaAlert, "Deep Carbon: Quest underway to discover its quantity, movements, origins and forms in Earth," states that the The Deep Carbon Observatory 10-year project to explore the carbon found deep under the earth's surface.
The program is investigating deep carbon's movement in the slow convection of the mantle, the percolating fluids of the crust, and the violent emission from volcanoes. It searches for the ancient origin of the deep carbon, and the formation and transformation of its many forms, ranging from gas and oil to diamonds and deep microbes.
Ninety percent or more of Earth's carbon is thought to be locked away or in motion deep underground–a hidden dimension of the planet as poorly understood as it is profoundly important to life on the surface, according to scientists probing the world's innermost secrets in the decade-long, $500 million project.
In a landmark volume, DCO scientists say estimates of carbon bound in the metallic core alone range from 0.25 to 1 percent by weight. If 1 percent proves correct, the core by itself sequesters four times more carbon than all known carbon reservoirs in the rest of the planet–and 50,000,000 times as much as that held in the flora and fauna on Earth's relatively wafer-thin skin far above.
Studies of meteorites suggest that the material that first formed Earth contained about 3% by weight carbon. Confirmed sources of Earth's carbon, however — life, carbonate rocks like limestone, and carbon dioxide in the oceans and atmosphere — sum to only about 0.1% carbon content.
Carbon is the only element on earth so central to life on the planet, and the research into understanding how carbon influenced life may tell us even more about life evolving on this planet and elsewhere in space.

National Youth Leader of the Middle Belt Forum, Mr. Jonathan Asak, has faulted the Vice Chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Senator Joseph Waku, over his attack on the President of the Christian Association, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.
Waku had recently criticised Oritsejafor's address before the United States Congress' Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Human Rights, saying the cleric's comments were capable of dividing the country.
But MBF youths questioned Waku's credibility, saying he lacked the credential to talk.
In a statement in Jos on Sunday, Asake, said, "We are baffled that Waku, a Christian (if he truly is) and indeed a Middle Belter could make such unwarranted comments on the leadership of Christians in Nigeria, knowing fully well the activities of the dreaded Islamic terrorists known as Boko Haram which has been bombing and killing innocent Nigerians, especially Christians in the northern part of the country.
"Waku's outburst presents him as a desperate agent paid by his masters to execute an agenda."
Also, a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has backed Oritsejafor for urging the US to declare Boko Haram a terrorist organisation.

Last year was my first official year as a mother on Mother's Day. But, at that point, when little man was only three months old, I think I was still figuring out what the heck it even meant to be a mother. This past year has been filled with so much love and so much joy from this little child I was given shortly over a year ago, I am so lucky to be his mama. Thankfully, I've always had a really strong role model to follow. My mother has been not only a constant source of stability, patience, generosity, and most of all love for me, but she is also one of my very best friends. If we don't speak every day or at least every other day, one of us is calling and saying, "I miss you! What have you been doing?" She set aside her career when my sister and I were younger to stay at home with us, and devoted her life to our care. As little man and the squishy babies inside right now are the only creatures who know my heart's beat from the inside, my connection with my mother is strong and unbreakable as well. She is my friend, my supporter, my comfort, and to me, she is the best mother I could ever have been given.
I was lucky enough to spend the day today with both of my wonderful parents, my husband, and my son. My husband and parents let me sleep in until after ten this morning which was amazing to say the least, and then off we went to have breakfast for lunch at a restaurant that is probably going to become more of a Sunday ritual. I could not have asked for a better day spent with better people!
Happy Mother's Day everyone!!!

Imgur Analytics Platform Reveals Data Around the Lifecycle of Images Online
Platform Helps Users and Advertisers Understand How Images Travel Across the Web, and What Drives the Virality of Image Content
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 28, 2014) - Imgur, the fastest growing image sharing platform on the web, today introduced Imgur Analytics, an analytics platform that reveals the lifecycle or story of images as they travel and are shared online.
Imgur has always been optimized for social sharing with features like short links, social sharing buttons, "no limits" sharing, direct linking and embeddable images and albums. Now, with the Imgur Analytics Platform, the lifecycle of an image is brought into focus, allowing brands, advertisers, and Imgur Pro users to see where their images travel over time and better understand the virality of image content. With this analytics platform, Imgur becomes the optimal home for all active social media users and increasingly brands, to upload, share, and track images on the web.
"Imgur now hosts more than 650 million images and attracts up to 1.5 million uploads daily," said Alan Schaaf, founder and CEO, Imgur. "As one of the world's top entertainment destinations, we have a huge opportunity to build out the data and analytics piece of our business and to create advertising channels that drive new revenue streams for the company."
To understand image popularity, Imgur has always logged how many views an image receives over time. Imgur will now look deeper into how images are shared and where they travel online, to better understand what drives the popularity of image content that "goes viral." This data dovetails nicely with a new native advertising business model for the bootstrapped company, which has been profitable.
"Brands are tired of ineffective banner campaigns," said Schaaf. "Sites like Imgur present fresh alternatives to dated approaches, and our ability as a platform to help content go viral is a primary reason brands are attracted to us. Brands have already started to recognize the platform's potential as a vibrant, influential online community and as a distribution mechanism for viral content."
What's new? The new Analytics Platform now allows users to:
Track total image views over time
Graph image views over time by date range and even by the hour
See top traffic referral sources (ex. Facebook, Reddit, Twitter)
Get detailed traffic referral paths within each top referral source (to know the exact traffic source)

Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was among the keynote speakers at a Texas-Americans for Prosperity Summit over the holiday weekend.
The senator took the opportunity to energize his grassroots Tea Party base at the event.
Cruz talked about hot topics, such as the president's Affordable Care Act and how Republicans will target it in 2016.
"In the year 2017, a Republican president in the Rose Garden is going to sign a bill that is going to repeal every word of ObamaCare," he said.
Cruz also told the crowd President Barack Obama needs to respond to the greatest terror threat now facing the free world.
"Isis says they want to go back and reject modernity," he said. "Well I think we should help them; we ought to bomb them back to the stone age."
Cruz elaborated as he delivered one jab after another to the Obama administration.
He criticized the president for not visiting the U.S.-Mexico border during the child immigration crisis. And he called on the United States to stand strong in its defense of Israel.
Texas Governor Rick Perry also spoke at the event. Like Perry, he's considered a top contender for the 2016 Republican presidential candidacy.
"The good news is there are exactly 128 days left until the next Congress convenes with a Republican house and a Republican Senate," Perry told summit participants.
Protests took place outside while Perry spoke, calling on the Texas governor to expand Medicaid in the state and accept the $100-billion in federal funding by adopting some Obamacare provisions.
The mood inside stayed positive.
"The American people are rising up to take our country back, to the restore the American Dream [and] to get back to the free market principles and constitutional liberties this country was built on," Perry told an enthusiastic crowd.

Take A Look Inside Apple Genius Jony Ive's $17 Million San Francisco Mansion
Apple executive Jonathan Ive bought a stunning home on San Francisco's "Billionaire's Row" for $17 million in 2012, according to The Wall Street Journal. The home was originally listed for $25 million.
Ive, Apple's senior vice president of industrial design, is credited with the look of the iPod, iPhone, and other products.
The home is one of San Francisco's most historically significant properties — designed by Willis Polk, a well-known local architect.
The house has four bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms.
Completed in 1927, the house still looks very well kept and has a beautiful brick facade.

Meet the founder of Spaceology
He explains that all the stars we see in the night sky are actually wishes that have come true. How is this so? They're the result of "spacestar ordering," a new, advanced concept of astronomy based on the twin scientific principles of star math and wishy thinking.
Finally! An explanation of outer space that just makes sense. Want to know more? Of course you do — so be sure to visit one of the thousands of Spaceology Centres now open across the country. Ding!
