She was the spunky young girl of 16 who sang oh so very grown-up.
With her debut album, "The Soul Sessions" in 2003, Joss Stone wowed the music world with a sound that cut a deep swath into soul and R&B, with a passion and understanding reserved for singers at least twice her age.
Nine years later (and with four albums in between), Stone is back with "The Soul Sessions, Vol. 2," a collection that speaks volumes to the singer's maturity — literally and vocally. The album is ripe with new takes on some heady classics such as the Chi-Lites' "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" and the Dell's "The Love We Had (Stays on My Mind)."
In between her own projects, Stone also found time to make music with SuperHeavy, a "secret" band of heavyweights including Mick Jagger, A.R. Rahman, Damian Marley and Dave Stewart (they released their namesake debut album in 2011). Stone also established her own label, Stone'd Records, to "help artists be who they want to be and just create," the 25-year-old says.
We caught up with the Grammy winner recently by phone as she traversed Belgium.
Question: Tell me about the SuperHeavy experience and making that album happen.
Joss Stone: SuperHeavy was a real quick, creative explosion. It just happened and that was that. I think it's quite nice really. There's nothing wrong with being creative and putting something out there. I don't think everything has to be such a big deal. We went into the studio for two weeks, made a record and that was done. Then I did "LP1" (with Dave Stewart) in a similar way. Went to Nashville with Dave for a week and we made an album and we put it out and that was it. That's just the way we do it. We all play at the same time. We all cut it together. So when it's done it's done, isn't it? You can't really do any more. I like to make the records in a short time span because it's exciting that way, and you capture that excitement on the record. Could I take three years to do an album? Sure, but I'll get terribly bored after three weeks.
Q. What did you pick up from working with Mick Jagger?
JS: When you work with anyone for a little while you just pick up bits and pieces along the way. Mick sat right next to me the whole time and the way he writes and puts lyrics together is just inspiring to me. With Mick, he just takes time and care and creates a story painting with his lyrics. It's beautiful and fun.
Q. Why did you feel the time was right for "Soul Sessions 2" and reuniting with Steve Greenberg (Hanson, Jonas Brothers) at S-Curve for the joint release with your own label?
JS: He asked me if I wanted to do another one and at first I didn't have enough time because I was doing SuperHeavy and "LP1." So I told him when I have 5 minutes free I'll do it. So I did, and we just went in and did it. But I want to make it clear that the real producer is Steve Greenwell. He's the man I have to click with in order for the music to work out. Greenberg is the song man. Greenberg was the brainchild for the concept of the soul approach. I feel like I don't want people to forget that Greenwell is the producer. He doesn't get enough props.
Q. How did you decide on the final play list of covers for both "Sessions" albums?
JS: It's quite fun to do because you have all these choices of the best songs ever. Writing an album is a little bit more worrisome because you don't know what you'll come up with. Here half the job is already done for you because you're starting with these incredible songs. Steve Greenberg is the man with the plan when it comes to the songs. He is like this song geek. He just knows every bloody song that's ever existed somehow. He put together ["The Complete Stax/Volt Singles 1959-1968" boxed-set] ya know? He knows his s---.
Q. But what first attracts you to the songs — the lyrics, the melody?
JS: The way I chose the songs is the lyrics have to be the most important element. I have to agree with the lyrics first and foremost. I don't want lyrics that put women down, or "feeling sorry for yourself" lyrics. I hate that. There's a certain way that I like to touch people and make people feel through the words of a song. Soul music is nice for that. It doesn't make you feel alone. So I didn't listen to the original songs too much because I didn't want to make a karaoke record. I wanted the songs to be different.
Q. How much have you grown since that debut album?
JS: I've grown a lot since "Soul Sessions 1." I was a little girl when I recorded it. I'm 25 and it's a whole different thing now. Now I know how to do my job. Before, I didn't know what the hell to do. I was just constantly looking for direction and hoping someone would tell me what to do. I don't feel scared like that anymore. It's all about having fun and being connected with your emotions. Just feeling. And that to me is fun, living life to its full potential. Understanding life and all your emotions. That's what soul music is for.

UPDATE: 2/15 at 9:40 p.m.
The Wisconsin State Patrol says three people killed in traffic accident Thursday morning north of Wausau was a family from Tecumseh, Oklahoma.
Roy and Jenny Kato, both 34 along with their son, Joshua, 13 all died in the crash. The couple's 5-year-old daughter sustained non-life threatening injuries.
A 32-year-old Schofield man was also involved in the crash, but was not seriously injured.
ORIGINAL STORY: 2/14 at 12:34 p.m.
The Wisconsin State Patrol says three people have died following an accident Thursday morning on County Road K, northwest of Wausau.
The Marathon County sheriff's officials say a vehicle with four occupants slid across the centerline in the town of Maine about 8:30 a.m. Thursday and struck a second vehicle broadside. Three people in the first vehicle were killed. A fourth passenger and the driver of the second vehicle were taken to Aspirus Wausau hospital.
Reconstruction crews are still at the scene and at this time Highway K between N. 20th Ave and Decator Drive is closed, but is expected to reopen before 1 pm.
Weather is believed to be a factor, however the investigation is still ongoing.
The names of the victims will not be released until their families are notified.

I had a neurotransmitter test done back in August 30, 2007. It was confirmed on this test that I was substantially deficient in Glutamine.
My Level:
Optimal Range:
Day = 150-400
Night = 100-350
Observed Range:
Day = 130-650
Night = 100-500
I did some research on Glutamine deficiency, and I read that it causes loss of lean mass. As far as the causes, from what I've read, Glutamine deficiency can be caused by severe trauma, infection or metabolic stress induced by a catabolic state or extreme physical exertion. Some sites say that it can be cause by fasting, starvation, and doing too much cardio.
There was one period of time when I did tons of cardio 5-6 days per week. This was 5.5-6.0 years ago. The reason I did tons of cardio then was to lose fat that I gained from Depakote, and anti-convulsant given for bipolar disorder. That drug commonly causes weight gain as a side effect. Also, when I took that drug, I would cycle frequently from binging and fasting as that drug tended to cause an insatiable appetite. So, I wonder if these things could have depleted my Glutamine levels, and my Glutamine levels simply never returned back up to normal even after all of these years.
Over late 2005 throughout half of 2006, I used whey protein fairly frequently, which averages 4 grams of Glutamine per scoop, but apparently, this wasn't enough to get my levels to optimal range.
I read that taking Glutamine can stall muscle loss & fat gain, and I believe this especially applies if you were deficient in it to start with and had lower than average levels of lean mass (for someone your weight/height) as a result. Being under-muscled for my given weight/height has always been a problem for me.
I started taking Glutamine in the middle of February to aggressively correct the deficiency, and since then I've gained almost 4 pounds, from 124 to 128. I started Panthothenic Acid as well because there's a probability that I have problems with adrenal insufficiency. I know the weight gain was all lean mass because I was gaining weight on substantially fewer Calories than what it normally takes for me to gain weight.
Normally, at my activity level, I have to go above 2700-2800 to gain any kind of weight; 3000 Calories per day yields only 1/3-1/2 pound per week. However, at that level this time, I was gaining at a rate of almost 1.5 lbs per week as opposed to the normal 0.33-0.50 lb per week at that level.
At 2650 Calories, I was gaining 1.3 pounds per week, which reflects a 650 Calorie surplus. This would've falsely showed that I was burning only 2000 Calories. If someone would've seen these numbers, then he would have gotten the impression that Glutamine and Pantothenic Acid slow your metabolism down. But in reality, I was actually burning at least 2700. So, I believe my body could've been regenerating lean mass. I read that muscle is 70% water.
Also, after I started those two supplements, my appetite increased by alot, so I assumed that since my body needed to regenerate lost lean mass (presumably due to the Glutamine deficiency), it started to demand more Calories than before. Also, it's been known that if your metabolism rate increases, then your appetite increases along with it. Some research shows that those two supplements can actually help metabolism. So, I wonder if my real metabolism rate could've increased as well, and my appetite went up along with it, too.
Has anyone else had a Glutamine deficiency like this? If so, how did this deficiency affect your progress in achieving your body composition goals?

- Eat, drink, and linger!slc2seaDined on 11/22/2014Sit back relax and let the cook or your server make your food selection! The tastes will dazzle your taste buds.

- Great for kidsWilliamHardieDined on 11/8/2014great for kids but the price tag didn't really match the food served. A souvakli which consisted on 2 small kebabs, lettuce, pita and sun-dried tomatoes shouldn't be $13. awesome kids play area and very accommodating staff - service was very goodSpecial Features:

The service was wonderful and the wait staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. Everyone at my table raved about their meals, and none of us went away hungry. This was my first experience at Vios Café, but it will certainly not be my last. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great mealLifjejazzDined on 10/24/2014This was our second time at Vios. I had the babaganoush and roasted goat. The goat was fall from the bone tender. One of things I enjoy about Vios is the number of young families dining there. The restaurant seats families in one section and those without children in the front. I loved the occasional toddler wandering through. It feels like a big Greek family sharing a meal. Fun.Special Features:
- Delicious!KatieEatsDined on 10/22/2014From the bottle of wine (25% off on Wednesdays!) and fresh pita to start, to the to-die-for tzaziki and lamb on my souvlaki platter, this place wowed me. Will definitely go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A Trip to Greece in SeattleLifjejazzDined on 10/10/2014We had a quick meal before a concert and found Vios to be some of the best Greek found we've had in Seattle. And I liked they way they managed the crowd. Families with young children had a space where the parents didn't need to worry about disturbing other diners, which created a very positive atmosphere for all to enjoy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VitaBondDined on 10/1/2014Fabulous food, nice staff, good service. Only drawback for me -- too many tantrum-having toddlers. However, if you're the parent of toddlers this place will accommodate you!Special Features:

- Wonderful Find!HappyCamperDined on 9/28/2014What a fantastic brunch! I ordered the special benedict over braised greens and potato latke. OMG--delicious! It was served with fresh fruit and a special bread which was lightly toasted. We also ordered one of the pecan scones. WOW! I did not think a scone could be so scrumptious! I also enjoyed a splendid soy latte. Our waiter was fantastic, and I so wish I could remember his name! My friend and I had a great time visiting during our meal, and we were never made to feel rushed by the staff. The restaurant was not loud which made it so pleasant to converse. I highly recommend Vios Café, and I can't wait to go back! (Thanks for seating me early, before you were even open, while I awaited my friend's arrival-so kind!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for familiesJenjenVIPDined on 9/26/2014This bustling restaurant gives families a place to go and enjoy well prepared food. It's full if kids which is great if you have one/them but so loud that it's hard to hear. Delicious Greek cuisine - some traditional and some with really interesting ingredients like the halibut with black eyed peas, braised greens, fennel and heirloom tomato. They're food is good but be prepared to wait a long time for it. It's a great spot if you have kids and/or you like kids because they're everywhere.Special Features:

- Another fabulous dinnerCarlosDined on 8/1/2014As before, the food was awesome. I had the vegetarian risotto with crispy squash blossoms, my wife had the lamb sirloin. The service, however, was exemplary! Jorge, our server, was fun, knowledgeable and perfectly attentive. The rest of the wait staff were equally exceptional. We even had a great chat with the owner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Accommodated a Large Group WellJonoWarrenDined on 7/31/2014After making my initial reservation at Vios Cafe I changed both the time and the number of people in the party several times. It would not be a stretch of the imagination to say I provided a moderate annoyance and even an inconvenience for the staff. However, when the whole crew and I got there for dinner (sixteen of us total) servers and staff were more than understanding and very helpful. I felt well served to say the least. The food was very good and I heard nothing less from the whole party. The noise level was mostly controlled by our party because there were so many of us so I do not know what it would have been if we had been with a small group. Over all I very much enjoyed my experience with the food and service of Vios Cafe.Special Features:

- Great food and atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/12/2014My husband and I took our 3 month old here for brunch for the first time since he was born and we had such a great experience. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, the staff was exceptionally friendly and made us feel welcome with our baby, and the food was great! It is hard to find a great restaurant that is family friendly on Capital Hill and we will definitely be returning here often!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific and authentic Greek food.JudyBDined on 7/8/2014This was my first visit and I will definitely be back. Wonderful service. We did not have young kids in tow but were not bothered by presence of kids in the corner. It is an understated feature of the place and not a deterrent as some reviews have suggested. Great neighborhood spot and good place to take friends who enjoy Greek food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great brunchNewtoSeattleDined on 7/6/2014We had breakfast items, lunch items, coffee, esspresso and mimosas. All of it was great. Eggs Benedict served on latkes instead of bread was awesome. The server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant also has a rather large play area in the corner suitable for toddlers. Kept my friend's kids occupied quietly before and after they ate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for Family with Young KidsLUV2EATDined on 6/21/2014This is the place to bring toddlers because of the fantastic kid's corner and family friendly vibe. There are a few tables (and a couple booths) that butt up to half walls that create the play space. It is very well designed and very clean. The front of the house is sectioned off for tables without kids and there are even seats outside so there is something for everyone. The food was very good but not why we went there. We just needed a comfortable place to relax with friends that have a two year old and not have to apologize for every little thing. Even on a Saturday, we didn't feel rushed to turn the table. Thank you Vios for filling a much needed void in the Seattle dining scene. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BethDined on 5/23/2014We celebrated my husbands' birthday last week and it could not have been better. Jorge was the best waiter EVER. We'll be back !Special Features:
- Awesome for familiesOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/23/2014This place is super kid friendly with a dedicated play area for the kids to escape to so the parents aren't hurried to finish their dinner. Only complaint was the service was extremely slow on the particular night that we ate there.Special Features:

- Mother's Day BrunchVIOBRUNCHDined on 5/11/2014I understand that Mother's Day is a very busy time for restaurants. That said, I would think that owners, managers, staff are prepared. Our brunch got off to a slightly rocky start. We waited quite some time for our menus, water, and coffee. I know that the wait staff was slammed but waiting is not fun. Not fun when we made reservations and confirmed our reservations. It ended up being fine and the food was great. Yummy coffee. It was also a nice gesture to offer mimosa's to mothers.Special Features:

- Wonderful treat; neighborhood gemhappyeating123Dined on 3/23/2014If you are looking for a unpretentious, clean, and friendly place that serves good and flavorful food, then Cafe Vios is a top choice. I accidentally came across this gem while driving through Capital Hill one very hungry Saturday morning. When you step in, you are immediately welcomed by a hustling and bustling kitchen. The friendly staff greeted me right away, and I was seated by the window. The menu isn't big but full of tantalizing Mediterranean fares and also traditional American brunch dishes with nice twists. This is definitely a family-friendly place. Both times I visited, someone was celebrating a birthday. The noise level is acceptable and you will leave the place odor-free. I will mostly definitely be going back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The food was excellent and the servers were all very charming. Can't say enough great things about this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for people with little kidsPeasOnMossDined on 3/1/2014This is a family-oriented restaurant with large portions and a readily provided children's menu. It also has a play area for kids, so many families dine here. If you want a date night at a Greek restaurant, I'd suggest something else, but if you want to gather the family for a celebration, this is your spot. We had the Lamb Souvlaki (skewers) and shared the roasted cauliflower. Both were seasoned nicely. The staff is familiar with food allergies and happy to accommodate most menu items, but not all of the ingredients are listed in the menu, so be sure to have the server confirm the items. I highly recommend making a reservation several days in advance if you bring a group, because the restaurant felt full within minutes of opening.Special Features:

In A Life Like Mine: How Children Live Around the World, we are introduced to 18 children from different continents, such as Mahasin and her family, nomadic cattle herders in Sudan. Mahasin is nine years old and attends a traveling school for children. When she's not learning lessons, she likes to weave baskets and help her mother and sisters cook their staple meal, asida, a dish of vegetables and grains mixed with spices. We also meet Isa, age 10, who lives in Sierra Leone and was taken by fighters in the country's civil war for two years. Now he is back with his family, attending school, planting a few crops, and playing checkers with his friends. The stories and photographs of these children's lives are fascinating and will appeal to any child who wonders how the world's children are alike and different.

Chapter FourTWO DAYS LATER
I lay on the table that was set out in front of me. I know what's going to happen and I know I'm not going to like it. Jacket explained the whole thing. In fact, he had such faith that Fang, that Fang is the only one that I'll let do it. Draken and Ean are not allowed to do it. I refused to let them.
Twenty figures in black surrounded the table and I pressed my face against the table. They talked to me about this, I thought to myself. I wanted to be a part of this. I needed to be. These people understand me. I wanted to do this.
The hot metal stick came out of the fire, blazing red, showing me that there is no turning back. I grimaced. Once I got home, Sarah and Frank never suspected a thing. I did not go all the way to California to grab Zeklos and come back for nothing. Zeklos is to help clean up the messes. I know what I got myself into and I don't want to turn back.
"Mia… Mia… Mia… Mia…" the people around me were chanting. Mia was my name Catalan.
"Mia Bradshaw. You know the consequences and the privileges of being a La Mort. You may join our brothers and sisters if you abide by our rules, and accept the one consequence of this decision. Do you accept?" Fang asked me in a very low and powerful voice.
He reached over the table and lifted up my shirt to expose my lower back. "I now announce you, as a sister of our family, a La Mort," he said. As he lowered the hot metal to my back. I gripped my hands at my sides and grinded my teeth together, I shut my eyes and concentrated on why I was here. Why I wanted to be a part of this.
Then I felt the pain in my back. It burnt my skin and I could smell the smell of burning fresh. I bit my tongue so hard that it drew blood. Oh my GOD! I gripped my fist harder and bit harder on my tongue, holding back the urge to scream. I could feel the a be made on the back of my neck for La. Just four more letters. I imagined why started this. Why I wanted to do this. The M in Mort is done. Just three more. I imagined the first time I found these people. There's the o. Two more. That's it. I scrunched my nose at the smell. The r's done. Just one more. Only oooooooone more! I waited for the t to be done. There's the first line. Just one more to make the cross. Aaaaand done. I can't even explain how much I was relieved.
"Mia Bradshaw. Welcome to the family." He leaned down and kissed me lightly on the lips.
Now I know what you're thinking, why did I kiss him? That's how the ritual goes. If it's a man joining, then a girl is the one that carves it in him, but it goes in his arm. If it's a girl, it's a man that does it, but it's a tramp stamp. And in the end, they seal it with a kiss. They exchange their souls. Well that's basically how they do it. After that I was lifted off the table by Fang and he sat me on the ground and had to hold me up, as they usually did, so I didn't fall from the slowly fading pain.
Everyone cheered and led me to the table, where I there drank the goblet full of wine. The goblet was gold with silver frames around it. I drank it as I was supposed to and then turned around and held it up, to show my last chance.
You see, if you don't drink from the goblet, it shows that you're having second guesses. And you can't have that. So if you don't drink it immediately they kill you. Immediately.
After all of that we were celebrating my joining. We were in the very ally I first found this gang. There was loud music and liquor and dancing people everywhere.
Jacket came up from behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He kissed my neck slowly and I giggled.
"Hey sexy," he murmured in my ear a way that made my knees feel like jello.
"Hey," was all I could say.
"Welcome to the family," he said, and he kissed my lips, slowly and soft. It was one of those melting kisses. The ones that made your knees go weak and your mind race.
I was to into the kiss to see Fang glaring at us from the corner. The gun in his hand. Later I would regret kissing Jacket. But for now, I was enjoying it as much as I could.

Hamilton County inmates on death row are:
• Leroy Hall, sentenced in March 1992 for first-degree murder
• Marlon Kiser, sentenced in November 2003 for first-degree murder
• Harold Nichols, sentenced in May 1990 for first-degree murder
Source: Tennessee Department of Correction
NASHVILLE — Tennessee has 86 killers on death row and no way to execute them after the state's supply of a key lethal injection drug was seized by the federal government.
Now, Tennessee has to make a death penalty decision.
If it doesn't change its lethal injection drug or the Legislature doesn't pass a law allowing the state to use alternative means of executions — electrocution, hanging, gas chamber or some other method — death row inmates will remain imprisoned indefinitely and families of murder victims will be left waiting for final punishment to be meted out.
"It's extremely frustrating. We are carrying on our lives, but it's just such a heavy burden," said Misti Ellis, whose father, Jerry Hopper, was killed in a shooting rampage in 2005 in Jackson.
"I hope that it's a procedural bump in the road. I hope they can find some way to resolve it or find a new method. I certainly would not want to see for myself or any other family that feels the same way to have that changed because of a supply problem."
Hopper's killer, David Jordan, 47, is second in line to be executed this year. He is scheduled to die Sept. 27.
In less than five months, the state is set to start executing death row inmates again. But, like other states, Tennessee had to turn over its stock of sodium thiopental to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration because of allegations it may have been obtained illegally from an unregulated overseas supplier.
Neither Gov. Bill Haslam's office nor the Tennessee Department of Correction would say what the state will do about the quandary.
Haslam's office referred all questions to the Department of Correction.
That department's spokeswoman, Dorinda Carter, said the commissioner is "still reviewing our options" and is "not ready to discuss them at this point."
Potential options include switching to another drug, which could lead to renewed legal challenges; switching to other methods such as the electric chair, which would require lawmakers to rewrite death penalty laws; or scrapping the death penalty altogether.
Bills proposing to abolish the state's death penalty in this year's legislature have been withdrawn.
Yet the drug shortage is providing one of the most significant challenges to the death penalty in decades, said Deborah Denno, professor at Fordham Law School in New York and a death penalty scholar and critic.
"Within the history of the death penalty, this is a very big deal. We've never had a situation like this, ever," she said. "We've never run out of gas for gas chambers or rope for hanging or electrical equipment for electric chairs."
Sodium thiopental has long been used as the first in a three-drug cocktail administered to death row inmates. Tennessee's procedures call for 5 grams of the drug, used to sedate the inmate. That is followed by 200 mg of pancuronium bromide, which paralyzes the inmate. Finally, 200 ml of potassium chloride is administered to stop the inmate's heart.
Denno said lethal injection was first widely adopted in 1982 as an alternative to the electric chair, which was increasingly being challenged as unconstitutionally cruel or unusual punishment.
Tennessee made the switch in 1998 for that very reason, said former Democratic Tennessee Rep. Wayne Ritchie, of Knoxville, who helped work on the legislation.
"There was concern by the sponsor that anything other than lethal injection might be found unconstitutional and this bill was an effort to bolster the constitutionality of Tennessee's death penalty law," Ritchie said.
Today, state law says all death row inmates convicted after 1999 must be executed using lethal injection. Prisoners convicted before that year can choose between lethal injection or the electric chair.
Some states have botched lethal injections, with some taking hours to kill the inmate, Denno said.
Attorneys for several Tennessee death row inmates in recent months have had success in challenging the state's method of determining whether inmates are truly unconscious during lethal injections. Those challenges continue to bounce from court to court on appeals, delaying all executions.
But with few exceptions, lethal injection has withstood continual challenges to its constitutionality. It continued largely unimpeded until late last year, when sole U.S. supplier Hospira stopped supplying sodium thiopental, citing anti-death penalty pressure from Italy, where it is produced.
Some states turned to overseas suppliers for stocks of the drug. A federal lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C., accuses multiple states — Tennessee included — of possibly violating drug import laws by purchasing thiopental from a British company called Dream Pharma, run out of the back of a London driving school.
Carter said the Tennessee Department of Correction obtained its supply domestically, but the department has refused requests to reveal its source, and documents detailing the purchase have been redacted.
pro and con
Death penalty opponents are greeting the temporary shutdown of most states' executions as welcome, but by no means a victory.
"It's a bump in the road. I wish we could do away with the death penalty period," said the Rev. James "Tex" Thomas. "What good is it knowing that you're going to die anyways? If it were me, if you're going to get me, get me right now."
Thomas ministered to the last person to be executed in Tennessee, triple-murderer Cecil Johnson, who died by lethal injection Dec. 2, 2009.
The Rev. Stacy Rector, with Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, said the current supply problems are irrelevant to their larger concerns.
"It is a huge problem, but it doesn't get at the real core issue, which is, can we as a society maintain the death penalty system given all of its problems?" she said. "I think it's just one more symptom of a huge problem that we don't need to have. We could be spending our energy and our resources focusing more on helping murder victims' families to heal."
But proponents say that executions are an important part of ensuring that justice is done in Tennessee.
"What I want is to do whatever it takes to discourage people from killing people," said State Rep. Barrett Rich, R-Somerville, who has filed several bills this year to add to the list of factors that make murderers eligible for the death penalty, like gang warfare and random killings.
If Tennessee is to continue executing death row inmates, it has few options. Ohio and Oklahoma have already used an anesthetic called pentobarbital that is commonly used in animal euthanasia. Oklahoma, Texas and Mississippi have also committed to the switch.
Tennessee's Department of Correction has said that it would consider pentobarbital.
"To change the protocol in Tennessee, we wouldn't require legislation or a change in statute," Carter has said. "It would be a departmental review and then we could put it into play right away."
Rich said he would be satisfied with even scrapping lethal injection for other methods altogether, though there is no legislation pending that would allow that.
"If they want to paint us into the corner and stop us from having lethal injection, then I certainly have no problem with hanging or putting someone to death with a firing squad," he said.
But he said he has not heard any talk in the legislature about rewriting the state's death penalty laws. He said any such change would have to be carefully handled to stand up to legal challenges.
"I think this is an issue we have to approach with caution so we do the right thing," he said.

Stones can be legally obtained right here locally.... Let's just go back to public stoning! I promise it will lower crime rate! Cruel and unusual? Not as cruel and unusual as murdering someone on purpose, these convicted murders did not kill by accident they did it with forethought and had intent.
Were the people they murdered sedated first? I doubt it! Get on with it? Why do laws insist they get something the people they murdered didn't get? I'm tied of paying taxes to support these criminals for life when they were sentenced to the death penalty. Good gracious - that one from Hamilton County was sentenced in 1992 - that's twenty years of my taxes?! Give me a break - if his lawyers haven't figured out how to get him off in twenty years - bet he's guilty! I would like to know how many sitting on death row are before the 1999 law? The ones convicted before that - need to line them up for the electric chair ride! And to see we have 86 waiting - how come none were excuted in 2010?! Why can't they just use what hospitals give everyone before surgery? Surely they can obtain that without worrying about getting it legally! TDOC - Please come up with solutions and fast! Another day just went by with nothing getting done!
@alohaboy: Jews have been known to stone a few people. It is not just a muslim thing. Just like hanging was not only done to black folk, many others have died from a noose. I would like the guillotine to come back into vogue. The convicted murder gets more rights and a humane treatment then their victims. It is a Christian country; so let the convict have a short chance to be witnessed too, pray that he asks Jesus to forgive him, and then off with his head!
@alohaboy: We will just let the death row inmates stay at your house since you love them so much. Was the guy not guilty or let go on a technicality like usual. You said "We have moved on in punishment" I say "We have degraded in punishment not only in our prisons but also at home. If we keep going down this liberal path we are sure to become an anarchist land.
I understand peoples anger in wanting some of these men dead. Id want to kill anyone who hurt any of my loved ones too, Were ALL capable of murder if our right buttons are pushed..Not all of the guys on TN deathrow have killed just because they are bad. some have killed because someone killed their loved one. or killed the man that run off with thier wife, NOT right i know but love can make you do crazy stuff.
what would you do if you caught a man sexually abusing your 2 year old child?
Did Philip Workman really deserve to die? yes he robbed but we all know it wasnt his bullet that killed the cop. it was another cops bullet. The TN Justice system doesnt always play fairly. It sometimes works on cover ups and who knows who. whos friends they can get on the Jury to get the out come they want. Trust me i know.. I also know that a LIFE in prison is worse than peace in death. some will say but they still get to see their loved ones, not true for most, most familys give up on them within 5 years. making sorry excuses as to why they cant visit or no longer take their collect calls. yes they get to walk around, watch tv, eat their meals. its NOT ALL tax money either they DO pay board and keep out of their wages. "the ones that work that is"
Im kind of a fence sitter because i would happly click a switch for some of the men that sit on deathrows across the country. But then i wouldnt want them to have peace in death either. BUT for me personally if i had of killed someone. Id want a quick exit living a life time of not having anyone who truely cares, having to watch my back incase someone decided they didnt like me that day and were gonna stab me in the yard. young and old guys are taken advantage of everyday in prisons across the USA. do you know what its like to have to listen to someone being raped. knowing you cant help them for fear of you own safety? Im guessing if you knew what the prison system was truely like you wouldnt be so quick to want them all to die. if pain and struggle is what your all looking for? in my eyes death isnt justice for a loved one.
Alternatives to Lethal Injection in the U.S. 1. Guillotine - too hard to spell, too French. 2. Stoning - takes too long, too many people, potential for getting hit with wild throws. 3. Gas Chamber - Efficient, but too Nazi. 4. Firing squad - Messy. Has an honor component that really should be reserved for military use only, not common criminals. 5. Breaking wheel - This has old world flair, but can take days Victims families get dibs on going medieval on the condemned.I'd like to see the killers of Channon Christian, and Hugh Newsom get this one. 6. Necklace - Used gasoline soaked tire is hung around condemned and set ablaze. Origins in Africa. 7. Public hanging - Best theater and deterrent effect with a great American Tradition.
Change the method to firing squad. The criminals seem to have all the rights and the victims pay the price. That is Liberalism for you.
Absolutely right, MasterCh[i]ef.
Here's an idea...let the families of the victims bring their own rifle, shotgun, Model 1911, etc, along with their own ammo and let them execute the sentence. Line them up and "With ball ammo, lock and load. Fire!" Hopefully, every one would be a gutshot.
Bingo - no cost to the state...other than the crematory's gas bill.
annette - if it were so much easier on the murderers to get executed then sit in prison (cause "it's a hard life to live"); then why are they fighting the execution?! They don't wanna die - that's why they look for every loophole and technicality they can and it gets stayed over and over through every appeal possible. Some of them have been sitting there longer than I have been born!!! Yes - I do know that some people maybe innocent (but that is a very small number-you have to admit that). And yes - some have killed the rapist of their child - I believe that is justifiable homicide (which equates to no death penalty).
But the truth is that executions would happen more frequently if they weren't fighting it tooth and nail to stop it. So, tell me why? If prison life and their "supposed guilt" is bothering them so much - drop all appeals and take your punishment. I know there have been a few cases where the murderer has pled guilty and asked for the death penalty - and that has taken years before their execution! Why must it take so long?!
I do think the townhall hangings should make a comeback. Cheap and great deterrent!

- Preparation Time:
- 4 thigh boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 10 3/4 oz Campbell's 98% Fat-Free Cream Of Chicken Soup
- 10 3/4 oz Campbell's 98% Fat-Free Cream Of Celery Soup
- 1 cup Swanson Natural Goodness Chicken Broth
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp chopped or dried parsley (optional)
- 7 1/2 oz Pillsbury Reduced fat biscuits - Flaky Layers (one tube)
- Place the chicken, soup, onion and seasonings in a slow cooker.
- Cover, and cook for 5 to 6 hours on high. About 60 minutes before serving, place the torn biscuit dough in the slow cooker. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.
- At the one hour till the dinner mark I pull out the thighs and shred them with a fork. They're so tender they will fall apart anyway but it makes a nice presentation in my opinion.
NotesThis is for a 3 quart slow cooker, double if you'd like for a larger cooker.
I figured the points for four servings since there are four thighs but usually it goes a bit farther than four. 7 points per serving.

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread
Ladycroft Seabs has anything and everything you could need from ROH, as does SuperduperSonic in their respective megaposts. Danielson, Punk and Nigel (Desmond Wolfe) are 3 of the best wrestlers the promotion has ever had, Joe's title run in late 2003 through 2004 also produced a ton of great shit including a Jay Briscoe cage match where Jay bleeds buckets, and I'm talking approaching Eddie at Judgement Day bad.
Danielson's title run in the summer of 2005 (the conclusion of the summer of punk angle) through all of 2006 is IMO the best title run in terms of character and matches, with the McGuinness and Strong series producing some incredible matches as well as great stuff against Lance Storm, Austin Aries, Cabana, Joe, Shelley, Hero during the CZW feud in 2006.
The likes of Seabs, Crabtree, -Mystery-, McQueen and Jawbreaker all know their ROH history and will be able to pimp a variety of matches/wrestlers worth your time, though expect McQueen and Crabtree to be 'divided' on how much Davey Richards they pimp you and I can help with any Danielson queries since he, Nigel and Punk are by far the three favourite wrestlers I've seen in ROH.
Also I want your thoughts on that memphis stuff, more Jerry Lawler talk across the board please
A lot of ROH stuff is on dailymotion IIRC though if you prefer, someone linked me to a video of a rare Danielson/Strong match I hadn't seen and from memory there was a lot of ROH stuff in the 'suggested videos' tab at the side of the page.

Hiroyuki Konuma
FAO Regional Representative for Asia-Pacific
Hiroyuki Konuma Assistant Director-General and FAO Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific
delivered at the
Bangkok, Thailand 14 November 2013
Distinguished delegates and participants, Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a great honour for me to welcome you to this important forum. Before I begin, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to AIT for organizing this workshop. I would like to welcome your collaboration in supporting promotion of responsible governance of tenure and increasing the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises in Asia and the Pacific region.
Eradicating hunger and poverty, and ensuring the sustainable use of the environment, depend in large measure on how people, communities and others gain and control access to land and other natural resources. The livelihoods of many, particularly the rural poor, depend on secure and equitable access to and control over these resources. They are the source of food and shelter; the basis for social, cultural and religious practices; and a central factor in economic growth.
Women's unequal access to and control over resources compared to men is one of the underlying causes of global hunger. The number of hungry people in the world could be reduced by more than 100 million people if women in rural areas were given equal access to the same resources as men. It is not only the access that is important though, control over resources, such as land titling and tenure rights are equally important issues. The reasoning is that if women were to have the same access to and control over resources as men this would provide for increased possibilities for food production by women. Women who have access to higher quality (and not marginal) resources are burdened less and are able to produce more.
For those developing countries for which data are available, between 10 percent and 20 percent of all land holders are women, although this masks significant differences among countries even within the same region. Closing the gap in access to land and other agricultural assets requires, among other things, reforming laws to guarantee equal rights, educating government officials and community leaders and holding them accountable for upholding the law. It also involves empowering women to ensure that they are aware of their rights and able to claim them.
FAO Director-General Jose Graziano da Silva stated that academics and universities should conduct research into principles for responsible agricultural investments for integrating small-scale farmers into the agricultural and food chains and protecting from land-grabbing or large-scale investments.
The Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) takes into account the differences in women's and men's vulnerability to disasters, as well as their differentiated role in fostering a culture of disaster resilience. Gender is a cross-cutting priority of the DRR Framework Programme which ensures that gender concerns, needs and capacities in DRR for FNS are integrated.
The interest of FAO is, therefore, to assess the status of responsible agricultural investments for integrating small-scale farmers into the agricultural and food chains and protecting from land-grabbing or large-scale investments by all stakeholders in Asia and the Pacific region. The assessment provided opportunities to study the current status of large-scale investment and understand and acknowledge differences between women and men and taking specific measures aimed at accelerating de facto equality. We could investigate possible strategies in promoting awareness and promotion of the Voluntary Guidelines (VG) which set out principles and internationally accepted standards for responsible practices.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I believe that this forum is a timely opportunity to share the knowledge, experiences and achievements and enhance understanding and acknowledge the complexity of property rights regimes and provide effective institutional structures that can protect and strengthen equitable access to land within the framework of a society's particular land policy goals. Among others, land tenure technical assessments and identification of possible approaches and solutions related to land fragmentation, lands encroachment with reserve lands, informal land leasing and selling markets, and land administration bottlenecks would be our particular interests in this forum for discussion.
I wish you all the best for a productive meeting.
Thank you.

text: Drudge Flash Report of Late Friday Akin Press Conference Heightens Speculation Print article Send a Tip by Michael Patrick Leahy 24 Aug 2012 post a comment Late this afternoon, Drudge flashed a "developing" headline that embattled Missouri Republican Senate nominee Todd Akin (R-Mo) would hold a hastily-called press conference. As speculation mounted in some corners that Akin might announce his withdrawal from the race, others cautioned that all signs pointed to his staying in, despite recent Rasmussen Report polls showing Claire McCaskill had jumped into a 10 point lead over him and today's news that President Obama had opened up a 1- point lead on Mitt Romney in Missouri. Breitbart News has been told by "sources" that Aiken will be reiterating his commitment to staying in the race. Earlier today, Scott Rasmussen told Breitbart News's Dana Loesch on her radio show that Romney's recent losses in Missouri--primarily among men--were not due to Akin but to Romney's call for Akin to step down. Many Republicans are calling for Akin to do the "selfless thing" for the good of the country and step down, but Akin may choose instead to make the race about the distractions surrounding his own candidacy. Akin's choice will be known to everyone momentarily. The press conference is scheduled for 4:15 CDT.

Children and wives of Pa Taiwo Ogundele, a leader of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ile Ife, Osun State, who was killed on Wednesday during the voter registration crisis, have called on the police to arrest and prosecute those responsible for the killing of the octogenarian.
The two children, Segun and Adeleke, with the widows of the late 80 year-old man, Jeminat and Esther, made the call when a governorship aspirant of the PDP, Senator Iyiola Omisore, paid the family a condolence visit in Ile Ife on Sunday.
One of the children of the slain octogenarian, Segun, who narrated how his father was shot to death, claimed that those who killed his father were a council chairman, a top government official, a popular butcher and some alleged leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Other members of the family corroborated his claim amidst sobbing as the PDP aspirant and others consoled them.
Adeleke said that those who killed his father came in three vehicles and went inside his residence, brought him out and shot him many times on his stomach and the groin region.
He said that his father was lured outside his house at around 10.30pm and his attackers dragged him to a grave and shot him there.
Adeleke said, "We rushed there on hearing the gunshot and the voice of my father screaming for help. We got there but there was no vehicle to take him to the hospital. He was shot in the stomach and his testes. He died before we could get to the hospital."
The family alleged that the leaders of the ruling party in the area wanted to force everybody in Okiti area to forcefully belong to the APC.
Omisore, also called on the police to prosecute those named in the killing, saying he would ensure that a legal action was instituted against the alleged killers.
The spokesman for the APC in the state, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, said that the PDP thugs killed one of the members of their party and rushed to the press to blame the ruling party for the violence.
The party urged the police to investigate the case thoroughly, saying the opposition party was desperate to take over and would do everything no matter how criminal to win the forthcoming election.

Earlier this year, Kantar Media said they were cautiously optimistic about the future of the ad dollar. Now, they say that optimism has been replaced "by the statistical evidence of progressively slowing growth rates."
Jon Swallen, SVP Research at Kantar Media North America lays it out for you,
"From +4.1 percent in the first quarter, to +2.8 percent in the second quarter and now a barely palpable +0.4 percent for the July to September period. During Q3, an expanding number of the largest marketers became even more conservative with their ad budgets and these reductions have neutralized the healthy spending growth occurring among mid-sized advertisers."
Aw, that's not good, is it?
Looking strictly at internet ad spending, it was a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects from oral contraceptive use. This risk increases with age and with heavy smoking (15 or more cigarettes per day) and is quite marked in women over 35 years of age. Women who use oral contraceptives should be strongly advised not to smoke.
Nortrel 7/7/7(norethindrone and ethinyl estradiol tablets, USP 0.5/0.035 mg, 0.75/0.035 mg, and 1/0.035 mg)
Patients should be counseled that this product does not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Each of the following products is a combination oral contraceptive containing the progestational compound norethindrone and the estrogenic compound ethinyl estradiol:
Nortrel 7/7/7 (norethindrone and ethinyl estradiol tablets, USP 0.5/0.035 mg, 0.75/0.035 mg, and 1/0.035 mg) (21 Day Regimen and 28 Day Regimen): Each light yellow tablet contains 0.5 mg of norethindrone and 0.035 mg of ethinyl estradiol and the inactive ingredients include D&C yellow #10, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate and pregelatinized starch. Each blue tablet contains 0.75 mg of norethindrone and 0.035 mg of ethinyl estradiol and the inactive ingredients include FD&C blue no. 1 (aluminum lake), lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate and pregelatinized starch. Each peach tablet contains 1 mg of norethindrone and 0.035 mg of ethinyl estradiol and the inactive ingredients include FD&C yellow no. 6 (aluminum lake), lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate and pregelatinized starch. Each white tablet in the (28) package contains only inert ingredients as follows: lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, and pregelatinized starch.
Nortrel 7/7/7 (norethindrone and ethinyl estradiol tablets, USP 0.5/0.035 mg, 0.75/0.035 mg, and 1/0.035 mg) (21 Day Regimen and 28 Day Regimen) are indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use this product as a method of contraception.
Research reveals more than half of young women who have abortions were using contraception when they fell pregnant Source: Abortion News From Medical News Today [2014.04.30]Reproductive health charity Marie Stopes UK has launched the findings of the first research in the UK into the contraceptive use of women aged 16-24 having one or more abortions.

Combined continuous ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone acetate does not improve forearm blood flow in postmenopausal women at risk for cardiovascular events: a pilot study. [2007.09]OBJECTIVE: This study sought to determine whether combined continuous ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone acetate, a postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT) combination designed to have fewer side effects than cyclical therapies and therapies using medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), could improve vascular endothelial function in postmenopausal women with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD)... CONCLUSIONS: In this older postmenopausal population with at least one cardiovascular risk factor, treatment with combined continuous ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone acetate failed to improve vascular endothelial function. The agent's proinflammatory effect or subclinical atherosclerosis in this population may have contributed to this finding.
HT update: spotlight on estradiol/norethindrone acetate combination therapy. [2008]Abstract: The goal ofpostmenopausal hormone therapy is to alleviate the symptoms that are associated with the loss of estrogen. Many formulations of estrogen and progestin are available, depending on the needs and circumstances of each individual woman... The purpose of this review is to describe the risks and benefits of hormonal therapy, focusing on estradiol/norethindrone acetate combination therapy.
A multicenter, open-label study to evaluate satisfaction and menopausal quality of life in women using transdermal estradiol/norethindrone acetate therapy for the management of menopausal signs and symptoms. [2005]AIM: This multicenter, open-label, single-arm study evaluated subject satisfaction and improvements in menopausal quality of life among menopausal women using the CombiPatch transdermal system consisting of 17beta-estradiol 0.05 mg plus norethindrone acetate 0.14 mg in a matrix patch formulation... CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study compare favorably with previous placebo-controlled studies of transdermal hormone therapy in managing menopausal signs and symptoms. Furthermore, quality of life was significantly improved by the transdermal hormone therapy system, and both subjects and physicians reported high levels of satisfaction. Copyright 2005 S. Karger AG, Basel
Pharmacokinetic interaction between nevirapine and ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone when administered concurrently to HIV-infected women. [2002.04.15]OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of nevirapine (NVP), a nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor of HIV-1 and P450 inducer, on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ethinyl estradiol (EE)/norethindrone (NET), a widely used oral contraceptive, and to assess the effects of EE/NET on the steady-state PK of NVP... CONCLUSION: Oral contraceptives should not be the primary method of birth control in women of child-bearing potential who are treated with NVP.
Study of Loestrin 24(24 Days of "Real" Pills) Fe Versus Loestrin 1/20 (21 "Real" Pills) [Active, not recruiting]
The purpose of this research study is to assess hormone withdrawal symptoms in women while
taking an oral contraceptive in the novel 24/4 (24 days of "real" pills) manner in comparison
to taking pills in the standard 21/7 (21 "real" pills) manner.
It is hypothesized that the 24/4 method will reduce common hormone withdrawal symptoms
compared to the standard 21/7 regimen.
It is further hypothesized that women using the 24/4 regimen will report greater satisfaction
A Study in Healthy Female Participants Investigating the Effect of TMC435 on the Pharmacokinetics of the Synthetic Hormones of the Oral Contraceptive Ovysmen [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of steady-state concentrations of
TMC435 (administered once a day) on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of ethinylestradiol
and norethindrone (administered once a day) and on the levels of progesterone, luteinizing
hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, in healthy female participants. Ethinlyestradiol
and norethindrone are synthetic hormones, which constitute the oral contraceptive Ovysmen.
Also the short-term safety and tolerability of the co-administration of TMC435 and Ovysmen
will be studied. Steady-state is a term that means that the drug has been given long enough
so that the plasma concentrations will remain the same with each subsequent dose. TMC435 is
being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Pharmacokinetics (PK) means how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in
the body and eliminated from the body. A contraceptive is a method that prevents pregnancy.
Oral Contraceptive (OC) Estrogen Dose and Breast Proliferation [Recruiting]
The purpose of this research study is to gain a better understanding of the changes that may
occur in the breast when a woman uses an oral contraceptive (birth control pill). Some
research indicates that women who use birth control pills with lower amounts of estrogen (a
hormone in the birth control pill) may have lower breast cell growth than women who use
birth control pills with a higher amount of estrogen; this research will examine that in
detail. This research will also test whether the results found in HS-07-00269 can be
TMC278-TiDP6-C136: Effect of TMC278 on Ethinylestradiol and Norethindrone in Healthy Women. [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic interaction between the
combination of ethinylestradiol and norethindrone and TMC278 25 mg once daily.
Pharmacokinetics means how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in the body
and eliminated from the body. Furthermore the short-term safety and tolerability (how well
the body tolerates the drug) of co-administration of TMC278 and ethinylestradiol and
norethindrone, in healthy women, will be assessed.
Randomized Trial of Induction Therapies in High Immunological Risk Kidney Transplant Recipients [Recruiting]
The purpose of this research study is to find out the effects of adding B lymphocyte
modulating agents in patients at risk for rejection receiving an anti-rejection
(immunosuppressive) regimen of Thymoglobulin® induction with Prograf®, Cellcept® and
corticosteroid therapy.

Reader Becky M. tried to make this DIY Cut Glass Wine bottle she saw at Picklee.com. The technique is not for the faint-of-heart as it involves soaking string in a flammable liquid, lighting it, plunging into ice water, and finally, broken glass. A few of my personal phobias are represented on that list.
Becky said: "I had a beautiful bottle from Truro Vineyards on Cape Cod that is in the shape of a lighthouse. I thought it would make a wonderful vase."
"Not only did I fail but I had two casualties — a chunk out of my thumb and a ruined manicure."
Avert your eyes if you can't stand the sight of blood!
Beck definitely did a double nailed it on this one!
