CGIAR calls for action at Rio+20
Agriculture is the single largest employer in the world, providing livelihoods and jobs for 40 per cent of today's global population. Moreover, as a human enterprise, it reflects the single largest use of land of any sector. In developing countries, smallholder farms provide up to 80 per cent of the food supply. Faced with environmental degradation, climate change, scarcity of land and water, loss of agricultural biodiversity and ecosystem services, and a world population that is continuing to climb, it is critical for farm and natural resource management and policies to play a more central role in shaping the broader development and environmental agendas.
CGIAR calls for a focus on the entire agricultural landscape as an integrated system, which recognizes that isolated solutions will not reduce risks or achieve required progress in the same way as integrated approaches will.
CGIAR calls for a focus on harmonizing food security and environmental sustainability through agricultural research and development. This will require us to minimize the harmful effects of agriculture on the environment through more efficient management of water, soils and agricultural inputs.
CGIAR calls for the sustainable management of complex agricultural systems while maximizing agricultural productivity and improving the livelihoods and food/nutrition security of the poor.
To achieve these objectives at Rio+20 and beyond, CGIAR, the world's largest publicly-funded global research partnership that advances science to reduce global poverty and hunger by addressing issues related to climate change, farming, forestry, environment and natural resources management, among others, has outlined a seven-point plan for how agricultural research for development can contribute to a more sustainable, food-secure future:
- We call on Rio+20 actors to adopt cross-sectoral approaches which facilitate broader partnerships, coordinated regulatory frameworks and appropriate economic incentives. What is required now is the vision and courage to transcend conventional sectoral approaches and apply integrated thinking to the management of agriculture, aquaculture, livestock, forests and water.
- We urge Rio+20 actors to address the unequal sharing of natural resources and their benefits through improved governance and technology dissemination. Robust land rights, more sustainable management and use of agricultural biodiversity, appropriate inclusive decision-making, benefit-sharing from forest goods and services, and enhanced enforcement by forest agencies, when appropriate, can all contribute to reduced conversion of forests and grasslands and more sustainable management of natural resources.
- We prompt Rio+20 actors to support knowledge sharing systems that engage with smallholder farmers to improve the management of their crops, livestock and natural resources in order to increase production as well as minimize negative environmental impacts.
- We insist that Rio+20 actors support the wide range of options currently available to restore and better manage degraded environments and ecosystems. Efforts need to focus on scaling out these options and encouraging the adoption through community-designed programs.
- We urge Rio+20 actors to strengthen and support local food production groups, livestock herders and smallholder farmers by investing in agricultural research, strengthening land and water rights, increasing access to markets, finance and insurance, and enhancing local capacity, especially with regard to the use of local agricultural biodiversity.
- We request Rio+20 actors to endorse the full implementation of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA), which promotes not only the conservation and use of agricultural biodiversity but also the equitable sharing of any benefits that may arise from its use.
- We call on Rio+20 actors to make a clear commitment to sustainable agricultural systems that prioritize food and nutrition security in order to lessen the need for emergency responses, thus reducing the human toll of disasters and freeing funds, normally dedicated to disaster relief, to be used for preventive research.
In particular we call on:
- Government decision-makers to promote increased and sustained investment in agricultural research. CGIAR and its partners work with national and regional research institution agendas to ensure they are meeting local development targets
- Farm, land and livestock managers to develop, test and adopt new approaches to land and ecosystem management. The work of CGIAR contributes to providing tools, technologies and approaches in support of a more integrated management of land, forests and water resources.
- Civil Society Organizations to support partnerships with research agencies at local and national level to ensure development initiatives are using appropriate technologies and approaches. CGIAR provides a range of proven technical solutions and approaches that are socially, economically and environmentally appropriate.
- Private Sector to support the discovery and dissemination of technologies, tools and knowledge needed by poor farmers and herders. Partnerships between the private sector and public research bodies, such as CGIAR, can play a key role in driving and disseminating agricultural innovation.

LG Mobile Executive Tim O'Brien Showcases LG THRILLTM 4G exclusively on AT&T,
Bringing Glasses-free 3D Smartphone to the United States
NEW YORK, June 23, 2011 – Tim O'Brien, vice president of marketing for LG Mobile, addressed an audience of entertainment industry insiders and influencers yesterday during the 3D Entertainment Summit in a keynote session that examined the importance of technology and innovation in the industry's 100+ year history. While highlighting consumer insights paving the way for the future of entertainment, LG put the spotlight on mobile 3D. Held in New York in conjunction with Consumer Electronics Week, the Summit is devoted to examining and analyzing the burgeoning confluence of 3D and entertainment.
O'Brien's keynote illustrated technology's important role in the evolution of entertainment and culminated with the presentation of LG's latest technological breakthrough, the LG THRILLTM 4G exclusively on AT&T
From early forms of entertainment such as black and white TV to the growing popularity of smartphones as today's hot entertainment platform, O'Brien stressed the importance of the need for continued advancements in technology. LG Mobile will lead the way, contributing to 3D technology adoption with the barrier breaking LG THRILL 4G.
"The objective of the entertainment industry has always been to make the experience more real and life-like," said O'Brien. "LG will change the game again by giving everyone an easy and accessible way to interact with the content they love – and do it in a more realistic and authentic manner than any 3D experience we've seen yet."
Continuing the trend of technology pushing the boundaries of entertainment, LG Mobile is focusing on addressing the three main barriers to the mass adoption of 3D technology: accessibility, technology and content.
"With each new technological breakthrough, entertainment becomes more genuine and believable," acknowledged O'Brien. "3D enabled mobile devices will be the next step in the natural evolution of entertainment technology, and breaking accessibility, technology and content barriers will be crucial in helping make sure all consumers have access to this next generation entertainment platform."

That Takes Ovaries!, Edited by Rivka Solomon
(New York, New York: Three Rivers Press. $13.00) Reviewed by Kristi Johnson
That Takes Ovaries! is a compilation of personal stories written in the first person by women and girls. Each story describes an event in their lives when they showed courage and self-determination. These stories show the freedom women can have when they step outside the boundaries of how a woman should act. Women are changing and so is the definition of how to be feminine. Women don't have to be timid and unseen to be feminine and this book tries to empower its readers by celebrating those who have already discovered this fact, and who have chosen to live their lives boldly.
The stories include a range of topics, writing styles, and political issues. It is difficult to create categories for them because they are all so different from each other. I chose the following stories to highlight because they spoke to me and are a good representation of the diversity in this book.
There are light-hearted and funny stories, such as one about a group of half naked Lesbian Avengers delivering flowers and valentines to The Family Research Council, a conservative Christian organization, in Washington D.C. on Valentine's Day.
In other stories, women demonstrate their power by enacting change. A trade woman for a construction company tells how she and her female construction co-workers were greatly out numbered by the men on the job. The project site only had a men's restroom and it took the women anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes to take a bus to another building to use the restroom. When the foreman was alerted of this problem he would not help. So the women took it into their own hands and locked the men's room door, and posted a sign stating that the men could use the restroom on Tuesdays and Thursdays while women could use it on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This got the foreman's attention and there was a women's restroom available the next day.
Not all of the entries are quite this light-hearted. One story is of a little girl who had to convince her mother not to kill herself and her children in effort to escape an abusive relationship. The girl promised her mother that she would take care of them through the beatings and the threats. The mother did not kill them that night but stayed in the abusive marriage for years before she was finally strong enough to divorce her husband.
An overweight woman relates her experience when one day she gets the courage to buy a tank top. She is courageous enough to wear it on vacation in a city where she does not know anyone and is amazed that no one laughs at her or makes her feel bad. She realized that the tank top makes her feel free and sexy and that what people see is her confidence and self-esteem.
There are stories that relate women's experiences in foreign countries. In one story a female journalist and her cameraman went to Bombay, India to film a documentary on the brothels and the many girls that are sold into them. The woman faced angry customers, brothel madams, the mafia and the paid-off cops to expose the injustices done to these girls. The woman then showed the film around the world, especially the small villages in Nepal and India where parents sell their daughters to the brothels for twenty to thirty dollars.
The authors in this book are a very diverse group of women with complicated backgrounds. These women are from different ethnic groups, have different ability levels, occupations, and goals in life. The authors range in age from five years old to middle age, however their ages are not always revealed. If there is one thing this book is lacking, it is stories that give older women's perspectives on life. There are some stories from older women about their childhood, but this book is lacking stories about issues that older women face.
That Takes Ovaries! is a book to read in one's free time. According to Rivka Solomon this book is for "everyone interested in challenging a culture still wrought with inequality and double standards - everyone hungry for unabashedly powerful females".
Reading these stories makes the reader feel good that these women are empowered. It gives the reader a sense of confidence in herself (or himself) and motivation to stand up for themselves and what they believe in. That Takes Ovaries! makes the reader realize that there are still many injustices in the world that people have to face, but it gives us the motivation to change them.

Dear Open Letter Writers,
Are you open to the idea that the open letter has become the victim of its own success?

Administrators at Vanderbilt University are beginning to enforce a long-held nondiscrimination policy for student groups. The policy is forcing a dilemma for faith-based organizations: Either drop requirements that their leaders hold certain beliefs, or forfeit school funding and move off campus.
Members of Christian student groups say Vanderbilt's nondiscrimination policy has them feeling more like victims of discrimination. They include the school's star quarterback, junior Jordan Rogers.
IPAB sounds like a new Apple product, but it's actually a controversial board that is at the heart of House Republicans' efforts to upend the 2010 federal health law.
The Independent Payment Advisory Board, created by the health law, is supposed to help hold down costs in Medicare, the federal health program for seniors and the disabled.

If you were young in the 1960s or '70s and like many of us didn't live around New York City, the first bagel you ever saw and enjoyed was probably a Lender's.
So it's with a sense of sadness and nostalgia that we pass along this, from The Associated Press:
Good morning.
Our early headlines:
-- Suspect In Killing Spree Is Dead, French Interior Minister Says.
-- After Trayvon Martin's Death, We're All Having 'The Talk'.
There were 348,000 first-time claims for unemployment insurance benefits last week, down 5,000 from the week before, the Employment and Training Administration just reported.
At that level, weekly claims remain the lowest they've been since March 2008.
The agency also said "the 4-week moving average was 355,000, a decrease of 1,250 from the previous week's revised average of 356,250."
A national discussion about race continues in the wake of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin's death last month in Sanford, Fla.
After a massive manhunt and a two-day standoff at an apartment building in Toulouse, French authorities say a man who claimed to be a member of al-Qaida and to have killed seven people in recent weeks is now dead himself.
According to French Interior Minister Claude Guéant, in the hour before 7 a.m. ET there was a dramatic conclusion to the saga that had gripped France and gotten the attention of people around the world.

The price of gasoline keeps rising for Americans, but it's not because of rising demand from consumers.
Since the first Arab oil embargo of the 1970s, the U.S. has struggled to quench a growing appetite for oil and gasoline. Now, that trend is changing.
"When you look at the U.S. oil market, you see that there's actually no growth," says Daniel Yergin, chairman of IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates.
He says gasoline demand peaked in 2007 and has fallen each year since, even though the economy has begun to recover.

The Heart of the Matter: Part I
For the past two weeks, I have written about the value of even a limited amount of college education. While a degree is critical to professional success in every way, the report by the Hamilton Group provided evidence that starting college, even if a degree is not completed, is an important and valuable investment.
If you read my blog last week, I ended with the sentence, "And we haven't even mentioned the value of a liberal education!" Well, for the next few weeks, that's the focus of my comments. Specifically, I just completed reading a thoughtful and compelling report from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, developed by its Commission on the Humanities and the Social Sciences.
The report is entitled, "The Heart of the Matter: The Humanities and Social Sciences for a Vibrant, Competitive, and Secure Nation." Its genesis represents an all too rare bi-partisan effort. The report was commissioned by a quartet of lawmakers: Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Representative Thomas Petri of Wisconsin … both Republicans; Senator Mark Warner of Virginia and Representative David Price of North Carolina … both Democrats. The charge from these congressional members was:
"What are the top actions that Congress, state governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors, and others should take now to maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education, and to achieve long-term national goals for our intellectual and economic well-being; for a stronger, more vibrant civil society; and for the success of cultural diplomacy in the 21st century?"
This report is viewed by its authors as a complement to the 2007 publication of, "Rising Above the Gathering Storm." The 2007 report generated from the scientific community and was intended to strengthen STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and to encourage new and expanding funding for scientific research.
The Commission that produced "The Heart of the Matter" was comprised of 54 members including scholars, business executives, scientists, philanthropists, engineers and artists. The members were drawn from higher education, the corporate world, both the public and private sectors, government service, foundations and the arts.
In producing this report, the Commission was guided by three overarching goals that they believe cannot be achieved by science alone:
1. To educate Americans in the knowledge, skills, and understanding they will need to thrive in the twenty-first-century democracy;
2. To foster a society that is innovative, competitive, and strong; and,
3. To equip the nation for leadership in an interconnected world.
My interest in this report was heightened by the very first prefatory page. The Commission asks, "Who will lead America into a bright future?" Their answer,
"Citizens who are educated in the broadest possible sense, so that they can participate in their own governance and engage with the world. An adaptable and creative workforce. Experts in national security, equipped with the cultural understanding, knowledge of social dynamics, and language proficiency to lead our foreign service and military through complex global conflicts. Elected officials and a broader public, who exercise civil political discourse, founded on an appreciation of the ways our differences and commonalities have shaped our rich history. We must prepare the next generation to be these future leaders."
Liberal education and leadership development … two of my core values. More about this important report in the coming weeks.
(As always, your comments and questions are welcome.)

Editor's Note: Wayland Patch will post regular updates from the courtroom at Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn. The most recent updates will be at the top of the story with a timestamp. For more about this case and trial, see "Wayland Murder: Nathaniel Fujita Trial."
2 p.m. -- Following the testimony of Seanna Lombardo, the Commonwealth called local resident Priscilla Antion to the stand.
According to her testimony, she was the cyclist and birdwatcher who discovered Lauren Astley's body at about 7:30 a.m. on July 4, 2011, and reported the finding to police.
Antion, responding to Prosecutor Lisa McGovern's questions, said she liked to bike from her home to the Longfellow Club where she swims and works out.
"I like riding along the scenic road Water Row, there's a lot of wildlife there," Antion said. "I also like to take pictures."
Antion described Water Row as heavily vegetated, but she knows of two clearings in the vegetation that allow a view to the marsh beyond. She said when she passed the first clearing, she spotted a blue heron flying away with prey in its bill.
She said she was disappointed that she frightened the heron away, but consoled herself with the knowledge that a second clearing was ahead; she said she hoped to see the bird there.
"I thought to myself, 'There's one more opening coming up,' and I thought, 'Maybe if I approach it quietly enough, I'll be able to see the heron.'"
Antion said she arrived at the second clearing about five minutes down the road and stopped her bike. She didn't see the heron, she said, but she noticed something was amiss about the clearing that she knows well.
"I didn't see the heron," Antion testified. "But I'm so familiar with that scene that something jumped out at me that wasn't normally there, and I couldn't tell what it was at first, but I noticed something was out of place."
Antion said she "tried to focus in on what the difference was" and noticed something that wasn't the same color. She said most of the landscape there is a brown or gray shade and this "seemed to be more of a pinkish shade. It was something in the shape of an upside-down V.
"I tried to look harder and harder to see, 'What is that?'" Antion testified. "I thought, 'Could that possibly be a knee?' and I said, 'No, no.'
She said she kept looking, "harder and harder," and then wondered if "under the surface, is that a leg?"
"And I thought, 'No, this can't be. That just happens on TV, you don't see this in real life.'"
Antion continued to look and "almost talked" herself into leaving, telling herself, "This isn't real."
"And then I thought, 'Somewhere if this is real, there's somebody who is waiting for someone to call or someone to walk through that door and the woman's not there.' And I had to make sure."
She got off her bike and stepped forward 3 to 5 feet, she testified, before crouching down.
From that vantage, Antion said, "That's when I saw a clenched fist sticking out of the water."
Antion testified that she quickly turned her back and called 9-1-1. She told the dispatchers that she thought there was a body in the water.
Antion said Wayland Police arrived on the scene within about three to five minutes and she was quickly seated inside a responding ambulance, so she didn't see other responders who may have arrived.
Upon cross-examination, Sullivan asked Antion to describe the remoteness of Water Row, asking her how many homes were on the street (she said two) and that the closest was about a quarter mile from where she spotted the body.
"A lot of wildlife there, areas where it's overgrown," Sullivan asked. "In the areas where there aren't one of these two houses, it's a fairly isolated area?"
"Yes," Antion responded.
Following Antion's testimony, the Commonwealth called State Trooper Scott MacKenzie to the stand. During his testimony, it was revealed that MacKenzie is a member of the state's underwater recovery team and had been involved in the investigation and removal of Lauren Astley's body from the marsh on July 4, 2011.
According to his testimony, MacKenize said he and two other divers responded to the scene and were shown from the road where the body was in the marsh.
"The location was pointed out to us so we could assess the situation for water access," MacKenzie testified. "It appeared to be a deceased person. When we determined that there was no possibility of rescue, we began to methodically check the area instead of going directly to the body.
"In the water and mud and vegetation conditions, evidence can be lost very easily if someone stepped on something, it could be gone," MacKenzie continued, explaining why the divers did not go immediately to the body.
While doing a search of the water between the roadway and the body, MacKenzie said he observed a shoe in the vegetation about 30 feet to the left of the body, which he alerted detectives to, but did not immediately recover.
After the body was photographed, MacKenzie said he and a colleague, Trooper Robert Malloy "bagged the hands" – covered them in plastic bags to protect any evidence under the fingernails or between the fingers – and began to disengage the body from the mud and vegetation.
"It took both of us to pull it up out of the dirt and grass and the mud," MacKenzie said. "It was firmly seated into the soft mud and vegetation and partially submerged. The majority of the body was submerged.
"Trooper Malloy and myself were trying to free the body from the mud and vegetation," MacKenzie continued. "We had to pull up on it with force. As we pulled the head up out of the mud and vegetation, we noticed a bungee cord was connected and caught in the hair."
He said the cord did not remain in place as the body was removed from the mud and vegetation.
MacKenzie said the victim's dress was pulled up around her neck, covering what MacKenzie said was soon revealed to be a "A large cut wound across the whole front of her throat."
Upon noticing the wound, investigators went back into the water, MacKenzie said, to search for a sharp weapon, but didn't recover anything.
They then searched on both sides of Water Row and noticed what "looked like a towel with blood on it."
At this point in the questioning, Judge Peter Lauriat adjourned the trial for the day. It will resume tomorrow at 9 a.m.
11:30 a.m. -- Defense Attorney William Sullivan presented his opening statements.
"It's a difficult case for you as jurors because it's going to force you to try and imagine the unimaginable," Sullivan said. "To explain the unexplainable.
"This case, there's going to be two questions: Why and How?" Sullivan said. "Why did this horrific thing happen and how? How does Nathaniel Fujita in the fall of 2011 …. big man on campus … dating one of the most popular girls in school … How does it go from there in the space of one school year to the summer of 2011, where Nathaniel by the middle of June is basically withdrawn from all of his friends, not seeing anybody but his family.
"Then on July 3, killing really the one person outside of his family who has shown any concern for him."
Sullivan went on to tell jurors that evidence will show Fujita was suffering from "a major depressive disorder" at the time of the killing and that the disorder caused "a single psychotic episode."
"As a result of this condition … what you will hear is that this defendant was not able to control himself or really understand what he was doing," Sullivan said. "The doctor will give you an opinion that he was not criminally responsible."
Sullivan told jurors they would meet Dr. Wade Myers, a psychiatrist who is board-certified in child, adolescent and forensic psychiatry. Myers, Sullivan said, has examined Fujita, spoken to him multiple times and conducted numerous tests.
"What Dr. Myers will tell you is that part of his opinion is based upon what Nathaniel told him. And Nathaniel told him that Lauren comes to the house sometime around 7 o'clock. They get out, they talk. She comes into the garage and she says to him, 'It's weird that you don't come out anymore.' Basically, 'I'm worried.' That's all that she says."
Sullivan said that Fujita told Myers that at that point "he was acting outside of his body. He was dissociative. He was unable to control what he was doing -- didn't even really know what he was doing and as a result this horrific crime occurs."
Sullivan continued, "When you have a major depressive disorder, it can drive you to what they call a brief psychotic episode. It causes you to lose contact with reality. When you're in that dissociative state, you don't know what you're doing, you don't really have any control over what you're doing."
Sullivan told jurors that one thing doctors look at in an assessment of criminal responsibility is family history of mental illness.
"As part of his investigation in the case, there are at least two family members of Nathaniel Fujita who suffer from schizophrenia," Sullivan said Myers found. He continued that Fujita's siblings also have been treated for depression.
"There's a significant family history," Sullivan said.
"One of the things they look at is whether or not there is what they call 'disorganized thought,'" Sullivan said. "Someone is acting in a manner that doesn't make any sense. What you'll here in this case is a significant amount of disorganized thought centered on the events of July 3."
Sullivan said that insensible nature of the crime -- the location, a detached garage at his parents' home facing a house across the street; the timing of the crime, given that Fujita knew his family would be home within an hour; and the lack of reason for the crime, there were no reports of arguing or fighting from neighbors who lived nearby, all indicate disorganized thought.
"There's no reason for this -- this is not a case where there was an argument," Sullivan said. "This is not a case … where something was said that something set him off. There's no reason that this happened. Again, that's the disorganized thought.
"I'm confident that you'll be able to listen, weigh all the evidence with an open mind," Sullivan told jurors. "When you weigh all of that, the verdict you'll return is that the defendant was not criminally responsible and the reason is mental illness."
Following the defense's opening statement, the Commonwealth called Wayland Police Officer Seanna Lombardo to the witness stand.
Prosecutor Lisa McGovern questioned Lombardo about her seeing a red Jeep at the Town Beach on the evening of July 3, during her regular patrols.
A check of the license plate revealed it was registered to Malcolm Astley, Lombardo testified. The next morning, after a body was found in the marsh off Water Row, Lombardo said she took the paperwork she pulled the night before to investigators on the scene at Water Row.
Upon cross-examination, Sullivan focused on Lombardo's experience during her patrol the evening of July 3. He questioned whether Lombardo had responded to any noise complaints or disturbances in the area of West Plain Street and Fuller Street, where Fujita's family lives.
Lombardo testified that she had not responded to any calls in that area. She also testified, when questioned about it by Sullivan, that the Fujita garage in which the crime apparently occurred, is across the street from a neighboring house.
"There's nothing obstructing the view from the house to the garage?" Sullivan asked.
Lombardo responded that there was not.
The court is now in a morning recess and will resume at about 11:55 a.m. Court is expected to adjourn today at 1 p.m.
10:32 a.m. -- Prosecutor Lisa McGovern has made her opening statements.
"Lauren Dunne Astley lived for 18 years, 3 months and 3 days," McGovern began, adding that jurors won't hear much about that life because the trial would be focused upon the circumstances of her death.
"Nathaniel Fujita, a man Lauren Astley had known and cared for," McGovern continued. "A man she had gone out with in high school for three years, coldly and cruelly killed her because she wounded his ego."
McGovern explained to jurors that Astley broke up with Fujita a final time in mid-May, after a few other breakups.
McGovern told jurors that both Astley and Fujita had much to look forward to, both had been accepted to college with plans to attend in the fall.
But on July 3, McGovern told jurors, Astley's phone records show that she agreed to meet Fujita at his house after work. Phone calls and a text message to him were the last that she would make and send.
Inside the garage at his parents house, McGovern said, Fujita "arms himself with a ligature -- a cord -- in this case a bungee cord and strangles her. Not to death, but to the point that it leaves a furrow on her neck.
"Then he arms himself with a second weapon -- a sharp force instrument -- and aims for her throat … her throat," McGovern continued.
McGovern told jurors that evidence shows he hid her body in his Honda, drove Astley's car to the nearby Town Beach where he abandoned the vehicle and threw her keys down a storm drain, and then drove five miles north in Wayland with Astley's body in the back seat of his vehicle.
Fujita, McGovern said, drove to a conservation area in north Wayland -- an area he knew because of school project there as well as from working out at the nearby Longfellow Club -- and "Doesn't just put her down by the side of the road … carries her over his shoulder into the water 36 ft, 10 inches into the water, where he stuffs her … into the vegetation."
McGovern then told jurors that a classmate who knew Fujita well subsequently saw him "drive in the opposite direction, window down, shirt off, music blaring.
"I again ask you," McGovern said. "What was he thinking at that time? What were his intentions? Where was his focus?"
McGovern continued to present a timeline that includes three separate police interviews at Fujita's house, before Astley's body was discovered by a passing birdwatcher bicycling past the marsh on July 4, 2011, at about 7:30 a.m.
"Lauren Astley's body will testify in a sense because her body will reveal to you the choices that this man made," McGovern said, talking about the testimony of the medical examiner that will occur in the course of the trial. "You will see from the evidence, the choices this man made. She was battered."
McGovern concluded her remarks, saying, "Lauren Astley's death was immeasurably tragic. But the evidence will show her death was not a tragedy, it was a crime. The killing committed by this man was the result of this man's actions, actions that were purposeful and deliberate."
Following McGovern's opening statements, the court went into a short recess after one of the jurors indicated he needed to check his blood sugar.
Defense attorney William Sullivan will make his opening statements next.
9:15 a.m. -- Jury has been seated and Judge Peter Lauriat is welcoming the jurors.
Court Clerk Mark Toomey has sworn in the jury and is reading the charges against Fujita. Fujita is standing between his attorneys, lead attorney William Sullivan and second attorney Sabrina Bonanno. He has pleaded not guilty to four charges: first-degree murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery.
His parents are sitting quietly.
Lauren Astley's parents are sitting in the front row quietly listening to the charges being read.
Judge Lauriat is reminding the jurors that the indictments are accusations, but are not meant to be statements of guilt.
"In every criminal case the defendent is assumed innocent unless and until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," Lauriat said.
Attorneys will present opening statements, Commonwealth first, and the defense can postpone making an opening statement or not make one at all.
"The opening statements are not evidence in this case," Lauriat said. "They are helpful, they are appropriate, they are somewhat like road maps."
After opening statements, the Commonwealth will introduce evidence in the case. After the Commonwealth completes the case, the defense can present his case, but he isn't required to do so.
"The burden is on the Commonwealth," Lauriat said.
8:55 a.m. -- Nathaniel Fujita is waiting at his attorneys table as the lawyers from both sides meet with Judge Peter Lauriat in a sidebar.
Three rows of friends and family sit behind Malcolm Astley and Mary Dunne, Lauren Astley's parents. On the defendent's side of the courtroom, Fujita's parents, Tomo and Beth Fujita, sit with a couple of other individuals, though that side of the courtroom is relatively empty. It should be noted that there are not "assigned" seats in the courtroom, with the exception that the first few rows are reserved for family of the parties involved.
The jury is not yet in the courtroom.

Warm welcome, delicious breakfast, big clean room with a comfortable bed.

We first stayed at Cobble House because of its proximity to alumni events at nearby Shawnigan Lake School. We couldn't have chosen better. Ingrid and Simon Vermegan are incomparable hosts. The house itself is located in a forested area with deer frequenting the property. The guest rooms are beautifully furnished, clean and comfortable. Ingrid's breakfasts are exceptional in quality and quantity. We booked this stay nearly six months in advance to be sure we would get a room.

We stayed for 2 nights in the Heron room while visiting the area for a wedding. Myself, my wife and 2 children aged 7 and 5, found the room spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The house itself is very nice and the owners were very friendly and welcoming. We all loved the breakfasts. Its very well placed for getting to Shawnigan Lake, Cowichan Bay and the Island Highway.We'd definitely stay here again.

A lovely place to stay and wonderful people to meet and they did their best to make us comfortable and served a great breakfast.

My husband, teenage daughter and I stayed for 2 nights in November while there for our daughter's school activities. It is a great location, central to many things in the area, and a beautiful property. Our hosts were very accommodating, helpful, warm and welcoming.

The house itself is very large as is the room but the bathroom is very small. There is no internet or television which should be made clear. The grounds are not as large as they appear and because the living room is also the living room for the home of the B & B operators you don't feel inclined to us it. It is situated more like a remote lodge then a B & B but without the size. The addition of the Cidery coupon was a plus and I commend them on the combination package. All and all the package was a very good deal but without it, I don't think I would of paid full rate.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our B&B and the Living Social package you enjoyed with us. Our guests' input is always valuable to us, so I am sorry to hear that your stay was not all you expected. I would like to correct a couple of your comments if I may. While there is indeed no television in the guest rooms, there is TV in the common area, and we definitely have Wi-Fi in the house. Of course a small Bed & Breakfast is also the home of the innkeepers so common area IS shared, but we made the rooms spacious so that our guests also have a comfortable private sitting area in their rooms, and we are usually busy in the evening anyway so not likely to be using the living area. One of the reasons for doing the Living Social package is to be able to earn some extra funds to be re-invested into the B&B, although updating on our guest area has occurred on a regular basis over the years. In fact, our bathroom counters and cabinets were replaced just last year. Decor is of course to some extend always a matter of taste. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Cobble House B&B is in a secluded setting - very quiet and tranquil. The house is beautiful. We stayed in the Heron Suite which is a large room with two comfortable chairs for reading. Ingrid and Simon are wonderful hosts and the breakfasts are excellent. We will definitely return when we next visit the area.

A wonderful, quiet B&B. Able to sit and relax on the deck and enjoy the visits of the deer and their young to the surrounding yard and forest.

Absolutely spotless. Quiet surroundings. Excellent food. Ingrid was very friendly and provided above what we expected. We would stay there again and we would recommend Cobble House to others. I liked the fact that this was away from the city and all of the hustle and bustle. Very peaceful atmosphere, yet close to many things on the island.
3,4 sur juillet 16, 2011
I enjoyed a two night stay at Cobble House, the hosts were very gracious and kind. On arrival I found that I had left important medication at the previous B&B Ingrid did everything possible to assist and despite the drama made me feel most welcome. Unfortunately I was unable to do justice to the lovely breakfasts but would recommend Cobble House to those wishing to visit the Wine Area but maintain a presence not too far from Victoria.

Dr. John Erickson
"Everything I do, I believe in challenging the status quo. I believe in disrupting the ordinary, mundane and cookie-cutter approach towards healthcare. I believe in treating people and not symptoms or diagnoses. I believe in getting to the source of health problems. The way that I disrupt the ordinary and challenge the healthcare norm is by drawing out the potential for health in each patient by identifying and focusing on the core issues of health through the use of education, technology, art and common sense. Oh, and by the way, I just happen to be a Chiropractor."
"I love being the last stop on the long highway of healthcare. I love hearing patients comment that their lives have been enhanced and changed for the good because of my services. I have invested a lot of time and resources to provide my patients with the best possible health care. Are you looking for a new doctor?"
–John Erickson, DC
Welcome to The Health and Wellness Center, where Dr. Erickson works to deliver excellent care to all patients. His base training is as a chiropractor. He is passionate about finding the exact cause of your health problem and not simply treat the many and varied symptoms. His focus is on you and your needs and not simply on your diagnosis. His care enables his patients to live a happy and productive life.
First, Dr. Erickson has a vast amount of experience to draw from. He has been in practice for over 15 years and still attends frequent seminars to develop and hone his clinical skills. Dr. Erickson has logged countless hours of continuing education in neurology, metabolic conditions, nutrition and weight loss. Dr. Erickson has personally trained with top doctors and clinicians like: Dr. Datis Kharrazian, the author of the book "Why do I still Have Thyroid Symptoms? When My Lab Test are Normal" and Dr. Michael Johnson, the author of "What do you do When the Medications Don't Work" and Dr. Eric Berg, the author of "The Seven Principles of Fat Burning".
Dr. Erickson graduated with his Doctor Of Chiropractic degree from Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, IA in 1997. Other post graduate studies include Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis, Functional Endocrinology, Neurotransmitters and Brain, NeuroPathway Technique, Nambudribad's, Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), Applied Neurology with Laser, NIMMO Receptor Tonus Technique, Brain Based Therapy, as well as multiple seminars on Nutrition, Thyroid, Male and Female Hormone Disorders, Stubborn (Hormonal) Weight and Clinical Research.
Second, Dr. Erickson is an educator. He firmly believes that in order for people to make the right decisions, they need to have all of the data. His workshops are designed, first and foremost, to educate and uplift those who attend. If you ask him why most people haven't fixed their current health problem it is due to two things: a) They don't have all of the information that they need to fix the problem and b) They haven't met the right person. He supplies the, much-needed, information through his many workshops, websites, consultations and writings. He also believes that he is the "right person" for many people.

Message from Dr. Erickson:
About Your Body, Self-Image and Your Health
People are unsure and uncomfortable in their bodies.
As people age, they become unsure and uncomfortable in their bodies. They lose the level of performance and function that they used to have. They are less confident in their body. They gradually let their belief in "self" slip. This leads to them becoming less diligent in taking care of the body: slacking up on exercise or stopping it altogether, choosing more sedentary over active activities, and easier over more challenging pursuits. There becomes less to live for…less to fight for.
I want to help you believe in yourself again!
My care can empower your movement to get you to, once again, believe that you can make a difference in your life. And by making a difference in your life, you can impact others lives favorably.

This Week's Project Videos 12.7.2012
Can you believe we're already a week into December?! Time is flying! Here's a look back at what classes and videos went live:
Memory Keeping Monday | Christmas Tradition
From Nancy, "Today, I made a page about one of my favorite holiday traditions. Reading Christmas books to my son at bedtime is something that I've been doing for years. I gathered some photos of my son flipping through one of his fans - Twas the Night Before Christmas, and then took a photo of a stack of our collection.
I combined so old and new lines to create a page that is Christmas themed with a little office supply/book flavor. October Afternoon's Holiday Style, mixed with some new Studio Calico and a vellum pocket full of stars and our title complete this holiday traditions page. TFL!" ...see supplies & challenge here.
Glitter Girl Adventures | Episode 049 Stylish 6x6 Strategies
From Shimelle, "This week Glitter Girl presents an extended episode! She's working with 6x6 paper pads in response to this thread [twopeasinabucket.com] on the General Scrapping message board. Her adventure takes her through three pages: two 12x12 designs and a 6x8 entry in her Christmas journal.
Come along for the adventure, won't you?" ...see supplies and challenge here.
Finally Friday | Good Friend by Kandis Smith
From Kandis, "There are so many fun elements to this card–the hexagons, the vertical sentiment, and the fun papers! Come create this card with me! Excuse my voice–I'm getting over a cold so my voice is a little hoarse!"

Purported next-gen iPhone charge/sync cable appears online
A single photo of a purported charge and sync cable for the next-generation iPhone has appeared online. A representative of Veister.com alerted iLounge to the picture, which has been posted to Twitter. The cable appears to be highly similar to past Apple cables, with a full-sized USB plug on one end and what appears to be Apple's newly shrunken 8-pin connector on the other. Veister is a Shenzhen, China-based accessory vendor, but the cable has yet to appear on the company's site. It is unclear whether the part shown is a replacement cable or a genuine Apple part with pre-production markings.

Areas of Research & Specialization
- The melanocortin system consists of five melanocortin receptors (MC1R-MC5R), melanocortin agonists that are processed from proopiomelanocortin prohormone (POMC) and, uniquely, two naturally occurring antagonists: agouti and agouti related protein (AGRP). Melanocortin ligands that are processed from POMC include alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (a-MSH), beta-MSH, gamma-MSH and Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Common structural feature to all melanocortin agonists, the tetrapeptide sequence His-Phe-Arg-Trp, is postulated to be important structural requirement necessary for eliciting pharmacological response at MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R. The role of melanocortin system in regulating pigmentation, coloration, energy homeostasis, obesity, exocrine gland function, among many, is noteworthy. My research related to melanocortin system involved the design, synthesis, and analytical characterization of novel peptides, peptide-mimetics and small molecules. The goal of my graduate education was focused on the design and discovery of melanocortin ligands (agonists or antagonists) with increased potency, selectivity and unique receptor pharmacology.
- Proteins in nature are produced in the process known as translation. This highly regulated process is controlled by multiple factors, known as initiation factors (IF). In eukaryotes, the complete mechanism of translation initiation is not fully elucidated as it involves at least 12 initiation factors. In bacteria, or prokaryotes, this mechanism is less complex and well defined. My goal is to better understand how translation initiation occurs in eukaryotes and how some specific factors contribute to it. Specifically, I am interested in the non canonical form of translation initiation that requires only 2 initiation factors and specific form of RNA that is highly structured at 5' end, also known as internal ribosome entry site RNA (IRES). I was directly involved in characterization of human eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) that consists of 13 non identical subunits with molecular weight of 800 kDa. Our limiting yields of eIF3 from HeLa cells prompted us to investigate new ways of expressing eIF3 in different systems (E.Coli) and trying to reconstitute minimal active sequence in regard to translation initiation via its binding to human 40S ribosomal subunit or hepatitis C virus internal entry site RNA (IRES).
