Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, I am rising in the House this evening to request further information in response to a question that I asked previously in the House of the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
My previous question was whether the government would commit, now, to end the 2% cap on funding and provide full and adequate support for first nations education. The response that I received, which is the response that has been given continuously when the question is raised, was that there was a panel reviewing the matter of aboriginal education, and that we will wait and see what it will produce.
I have talked to many first nations leaders, members and elders since I assumed the post of official opposition critic on aboriginal affairs and northern development. The response has been the same from every leader, every member, every organization trying to further improve access to education for our first nations peoples. The response is simple. First nations children deserve the same access to education as all other Canadian children. The request that has been made is to end the 2% cap on funding.
It is the first anniversary of the government finally endorsing and signing onto the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. By that declaration, the government committed, under articles 14 and 15, to redress the historic injustices against the indigenous peoples of Canada.
In those specific articles, the government committed to take action to ensure that aboriginal children have equal access to education. That includes ensuring that the government of the day finally redress the fact that many first nations schools are condemned either because of infestation of snakes and rats or because of mould. These are the kinds of conditions that we expect in medieval times, not in the 21st century.
We have been hearing a lot on the news about the crisis of housing along Hudson Bay. This is the very same community where a campaign was led by a wonderful young Canadian. Shannen Koostachin started the campaign to ensure that the children in her community finally had a school they could go to. The sad story is that Shannen, in travelling to a school outside of her community, was tragically killed in a car accident. The remarkable turnaround is that not only the children of her community but children right across the country have picked up the campaign, called "Shannen's Dream", which is to bring quality education to all first nations children in this country.
So today again, I am asking the question, when will the government commit? Will it commit now, today, that it will end this discrimination, as it has committed to it internationally and not just to aboriginal children in this country?
7:20 p.m.
Kenora Ontario
Greg Rickford ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in this debate, clearly, on behalf of the constituents of the great Kenora riding and more than 42 first nations communities in my riding where we have been making major inroads to education infrastructure, and we want to stay on that trajectory.
I am pleased, obviously, to rise to speak to the question put by the member for Edmonton—Strathcona about the education provided in band operated schools for first nations children living on reserve.
This government remains fully committed that first nations children achieve the same educational outcomes as other Canadians. This was a goal envisioned by Shannen Koostachin.
As part of our commitment to Shannen's dream, we are working to provide first nations children and youth with a safe and welcoming learning environment, so that they can reach their full potential and acquire the skills they need to enter the labour market and fully share in Canada's economic opportunities.
I am happy, also, to assure the hon. member that we have been extremely active in this regard. In March 2011 the Government of Canada, in collaboration with the Assembly of First Nations, confirmed the appointment of a national panel on first nations elementary and secondary schools. This engagement process would result in recommendations on how to enhance the elementary and secondary education systems and, importantly, the outcomes for first nations children living on reserve.
The panel has completed regional meetings throughout the country. Recently, the panel wrapped up its extensive hearings with its eighth and final round table on first nations education held here in Ottawa.
The panel will then present a report and recommendations to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development and to the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations on possible avenues for improving education for First Nations students. We are anxious to get the report and the recommendations from the panel, and we should have them by January.
The Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development invests about $1.7 billion a year in education for First Nations, including $1.4 billion for elementary and secondary education and over $300 million for post-secondary education.
Through targeted programs like the education partnerships program and the First Nation student success program, we are investing an additional $268 million over five years and $75 million in the following years to lay the foundation for long-term improvements to First Nations education.
I am pleased to report real progress on tripartite partnerships. Since 2008 we have signed five tripartite education agreements with the provinces of New Brunswick, Manitoba, Alberta, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and the Saskatoon Tribal Council. These join pre-existing tripartite partnership arrangements in British Columbia and Nova Scotia, with 40% of first nation children on reserve attending provincial schools. These partnerships are designed to help first nation students transfer between both school systems without academic penalty.
We also have a responsibility to treat taxpayers' money prudently, which is why Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada's approved annual growth rate for a bundle of basic services remains at 2%. However, the annual overall growth is larger, due to significant new investments made in priority areas through successive budgets since 2006.
Finally, this government continues to make long-term investments in priority areas to improve the quality of life and education for first nations.
7:25 p.m.
Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the parliamentary secretary for his reply. In response, I would like to share the words of a first nation student. It was included in a report called "Our Dreams Matter Too", presented to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child. Wesley's message is this:
I'm writing this letter to you as a young native man with something to say about my education. I have attended kindergarten, elementary, and high school on reserve and I am aware of the differences between the education that I have received and the education that non-aboriginal off-reserve students have received. The lack of funding is a concern, the lack of resources is a concern, but the lack of cultural content in our school is the biggest concern for me.... I would like to see this change. I would like to see native aboriginal students treated and funded the same as any other non-aboriginal students because we are all students, we are all human, we are all equal and should be treated as such.
I ask the parliamentary secretary, when will we finally see equality for aboriginal children?
7:25 p.m.
Greg Rickford Conservative Kenora, ON
Mr. Speaker, clearly our government understands the importance of education and remains committed to ensuring that first nation students enjoy the same educational opportunities as other Canadians. First nation students are entitled to an education that not only encourages them to stay in school, but will also see them graduate with the skills they need to enter the labour market successfully and share fully in Canada's economic opportunities.
Budget 2011 reiterated this government's commitment to work in collaboration with the Assembly of First Nations on reform of first nations elementary and secondary education. We invest more than $1.4 billion annually for elementary and secondary education. This includes investments of $268 million over five years, and ongoing funding of $75 million in each subsequent year for the education partnerships program and the first nation students success program.
In addition, budget 2010 provided a further investment of $30 million in comparable education for first nations, starting in British Columbia where there is an advanced state of partnership between first nations and the province.
7:25 p.m.
François Lapointe NDP Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, on September 27, I asked a question of the hon. Minister of Industry. I will read it now to refresh our memories.
This government claims to want to create jobs by supporting the asbestos industry. In reality, it is exporting disease and death to countries that have inadequate labour health and safety standards. This position does not help the communities that are relying on a dying industry. The workers have suffered enough.
What is this government waiting for to show real respect for these people and to develop with them a transition plan to stimulate the economy in that region?
I asked that question in the House, and two months later, the Lac d'amiante mine in Thetford Mines and the Jeffrey mine in Asbestos are now closed. There is no more mining going on in the asbestos region.
My question from two months ago ended on this point: what is this government waiting for to show real respect for these people who are now out of work and to develop a transition plan with and for them?
Something else rather significant has happened recently. More and more elected officials no longer support exporting asbestos. That includes some Conservatives who, anonymously of course, have gone as far as admitting that they wanted to vote in favour of the motion the NDP moved in this House less than a month ago. That motion called for an end to mining and exporting the substance, and for an immediate transition plan to help all workers in the asbestos regions.
Other factors have been added to the mix in the past two months. A growing portion of Quebec civil society has changed its position on asbestos. For instance, the Coalition Pour que le Québec ait meilleure MINE and the Centrale des syndicats du Québec are calling on governments to compensate asbestos workers and their communities immediately—with the money that is supposedly being invested to help that industry recover—so that healthy, sustainable industries can be developed instead.
The Confédération des syndicats nationaux, or CSN, has committed to talks with other unions in order to propose a retraining schedule for people working in the asbestos industry, all with a view to initiating the necessary debates with both levels of government on banning asbestos.
Given the present circumstances, we have a historic opportunity to stop a commercial activity that exports disease and is very harmful to Canada's reputation. The government therefore needs to finance a transition plan, stop mining asbestos and agree to include the substance on the Rotterdam Convention. That is all.
Will the minister take advantage of this historic opportunity? If not, how can he justify a decision that will not create any jobs in the asbestos region? My question is not about asbestos handling policies, but about the future of the people in the asbestos region.
7:30 p.m.
Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière Québec
Jacques Gourde ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Works and Government Services
Mr. Speaker, as we have discussed many times in the House, the health and safety of Canadians are priorities for the Government of Canada. We want to ensure that workers across the country are protected, regardless of what sector they work in. Chrysotile is a naturally occurring mineral that has long supported a major mining sector in Quebec.
The Government of Canada has supported the controlled use of chrysotile in the country and abroad for over 30 years.
All those involved in the chrysotile industry, and more specifically in mining chrysotile, recognize that this substance can be dangerous.
That is why there are controlled conditions for mining chrysotile, and this is achieved through the enforcement of appropriate safety regulations.
The government has been clear, and its safety message has been widely shared throughout the world.
In Canada, exposure to chrysotile is controlled by regulations; workplace programs and practices; federal, provincial and territorial limits; and restrictions on certain categories of consumer products and products in the workplace under Canada's Hazardous Products Act.
Chrysotile is not present in consumer products that can break down and release dangerous fibres or dust.
When chrysotile is used industrially, its use is controlled by workplace health and safety regulations.
Our policies on chrysotile have the right goal: safe and responsible use.
In 1984, the governments of Canada and Quebec, working with the industry and unions, founded the Chrysotile Institute.
Since then, this non-profit organization has actively promoted the responsible, controlled use of chrysotile in Canada and abroad.
7:30 p.m.
François Lapointe NDP Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to have an answer to just one very specific question. Can the hon. member confirm that the position he just described, which we have heard 30, 100, 150 times in the House and which the hon. member expanded on a bit this evening—will this position on a hypothetical way of using asbestos create a single job tomorrow morning in the Asbestos region? I would just like to get a clear and frank answer to this very simple question.
7:30 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Conservative Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, chrysotile is the only asbestos fibre produced and exported by Canada.
Canada has long supported the approach of a controlled use of chrysotile.
Over the past 30 years, the federal government has promoted the controlled use of chrysotile nationally and internationally, and we will continue to do so.
We strongly believe that the health risks associated with mining chrysotile and with the manufactured products containing chrysotile, can be managed under regulated and controlled conditions.
Thanks to the Chrysotile Institute, Canada has worked with countries that produce and use chrysotile on effectively implementing regulations on controlled use.
I want to assure the House that, in terms of using chrysotile, our government approach's is a responsible one.
7:35 p.m.

The motion to adjourn the House is now deemed to have been adopted. Accordingly the House stands adjourned until tomorrow at 10 a.m. pursuant to Standing Order 24(1).

I'm on board the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise, currently working in the North Atlantic on our Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) campaign. The CFP- the European fisheries agreement- is reviewed every ten years. By lobbying, taking action and bearing witness where ocean life is endangered, Greenpeace wants to make sure that the EU minsters take the necessary measurement to truly protect our seas.
Yesterday we took action against a French bottom trawler, off the coast of Ireland, in the North East Atlantic ocean. Four swimmers placed themselves in front of the Pierre Jacques Matigny, one of the seven deep-sea bottom trawlers owned by Intermarché –Les Mousquetaires, a famous French retailer that owns its own fleet, with banners that read "Stop overfishing.
I talked to the captain of the trawler, who was obviously not happy about what we were doing, and doesn't recognize that deep-sea species are endangered because of overfishing. Sailing to these fishing grounds in the North Atlantic is a way of bearing witness to the ecological crime happening in the deep seas. Deep-sea bottom trawling is indeed one of the most destructive fishing practices, targeting fish stocks that are already overexploited, according to the scientists.Bottom trawl nets smash the seabed and takes everything in its way, even the species that are not targeted. Deep-sea bottom trawling comprises 30% to 60% bycatch – or wasted fish; ocean life that is discarded overboard, dead or dying. Deep-sea species are very vulnerable to fishing activities because they have a very long life span and a very low reproduction rates. Even if they are overfished during a short time period, it can take a century for them to recover.
Moreover, deep-sea bottom trawling is an absurd business model that has no future: to reach profitability, it needs to deplete existing fish stocks. Intermarché's fleet is facing regular economic losses even though it has received 9.7 millions of Euros of public money: which means, your money and my money. The past and current Common Fisheries Policy has financed its own "Frankenstein" by helping the construction of new bottom trawlers. I don't want to finance the plunder of the ocean.
Greenpeace is calling on to EU governments to put an end to such destructive practices and to overcapacity within the EU fleet. The Common Fisheries Policy is currently under reform, something that happens only every ten years. It's now our last chance to save the oceans in Europe by ensuring the fish stocks recover, and to stop subsidies of overfishing and destructive fishing.
We want kids in the future to be able to eat fish and that fishermen can continue their job. But without fish, there is no fishing. We want the new Common Fisheries Policy to ensure that sustainable small-scale fisheries continue to exist.

What do you get someone who has a sweet tooth for their 90th birthday? A giant chocolate cake, that's what!
Martin's pop turned the big nine-oh last weekend and to celebrate family and friends gathered from across the globe (all the way from Canada!). I needed a cake that would serve the crowd and knock the socks off as well, so I turned to my new favourite baking book – Baked In America. Those David's really know what they're doing.
I had a tough choice narrowing which layer cake recipe to make and finally decided on Coke Layers. Coca-cola and chocolate? You can't get more indulgent, really…
So here goes, my adventure in a triple layer chocolate indulgence.
To get started, I melted butter with coca-cola in a bowl over simmering water.
Then added three types of chocolate – plain, milk and super dark 81% chocolate. Seriously chocolatey… oh yeah… and marshmallows. (I think I gained 10 lbs just writing that sentence.)
Once the chocolate, butter, cola and marshmallows were all melty and gooey, I let it cool to room temperature and sorted the dry ingredients. Oh yeah, there's more chocolate.
Once the chocolate, butter, marshmallow and cola mixture cooled, I added it to the eggs and sugar. It's key to let a hot chocolate mixture cool to room temp, otherwise you'll get scrambled chocolate eggs… yuck.
This mixture makes 3x 9 inch layers.
As recommended, I used a chocolate fudge frosting, which combines sour cream and melted chocolate.
And voila! A frosted triple layer chocolate cake!
Pop loved the cake, as did everyone at the party. He had a few helpers to blow out the candles.
Happy birthday, Pop! Here's to 90 great years and more to come…

Ever since it popped up this morning, people have been quick to say that Aaron Bishop's Lords Of Uberdark looks a lot like Minecraft. The fact Minecraft's creator helped spread the word may have contributed to that.
While Lords Of Uberdark (which at the moment is little more than some alpha code and ideas) is in the same mine/craft guise as...Minecraft, there's one key difference: it's not based around blocks or tiles. It is instead free-form, your ability to edit the world being far more natural than something which ends up looking like a giant LEGO set.
I'm also digging the art style, the bright colours and stark lines invoking memories of Okami.

Mother of Stamford police officer killed in hit-and-run
70-year-old victim was crossing street
A Stamford judge set $250,000 bond for a woman with 51 criminal convictions, who is accused of driving away from the scene of an accident after striking and killing the 70-year-old mother of a Stamford police officer Easter evening.
Police said Yolanda McDowell, 45, of 69 Durant St., Stamford, was found by police at her home about an hour after the accident and charged with second-degree manslaughter with a motor vehicle while intoxicated, and felony leaving the scene of an accident. McDowell was held overnight by police and arraigned Monday. State Superior Court Judge Thomas Colin said McDowell must remain under house arrest if released.
Police said 70-year-old Margarita Gonzalez was crossing Woodland Avenue just before 6:48 p.m. when McDowell, driving a 2002 Chrysler Voyager minivan west on Woodland Avenue, crossed over the double yellow line into the eastbound lane to pass two cars that had stopped in the street to allow Gonzalez to cross the road.
Witnesses said McDowell was driving so fast and struck Gonzalez with such force that the woman was flung through the air and her shoes knocked off as she was thrown to the curb.
Police said after hitting Gonzalez and leaving her under the front bumper of a pickup truck, McDowell continued west in the oncoming lane and crashed head-on into a 2008 Nissan Versa, which had also stopped to let Gonzalez cross the street, police said.
Police officials said Monday morning that Gonzales is the mother of an 18-year department veteran, Angel Gonzalez, who was its Officer of the Year in 2002 and works in one of three detective squads investigating major crimes in the Stamford.
After being struck by the minivan, the 27-year-old woman driving the Nissan Versa saw McDowell put the minivan in reverse.
"I actually stood in front of the van, but it started coming forward toward me and I got scared and moved out of the way," she said in a statement to police that is contained in McDowell's court file. The driver then shouted to another driver to follow the fleeing minivan.
That driver, 42-year-old woman, followed the minivan and said she dialed 911 with the van's license plate number.
Following an investigation, police spotted the minivan at the end of the Durant Street driveway, and saw damage to the Voyager's front end.
In his report, Sgt. Anthony Lupinacci said after he went to the back door and knocked, a woman came out who turned out to be McDowell, who at first said her name was Cynthia.
McDowell's convictions include prostitution and drug charges.
McDowell appeared to police to be under the influence of drugs and made incriminating statements about her recent drug use, Sgt. Andrew Gallagher said Monday morning.
At her hearing Monday, the bail commissioner said McDowell has 51 criminal convictions since the 1980s for offenses including larceny, forgery, prostitution, disorderly conduct, drug possession and paraphernalia, escape, failure to appear in court and probation violations.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the police department's Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Squad at police headquarters.

Cocoa Boutique, a luxury artisan chocolate club, recently launched their website and I was asked to test out their 'Tasting Box'. Never one to turn down chocolate, I agreed.
The box arrived on my doorstep and The Whiteman 3 tasting team was off. Inside the beautifully packaged box were 15 different varieties of chocolates, an letter introducing the chocolatiers who created the tasty delights and a menu describing each chocolate and which chocolatier made them. If you're into your chocolatiers, this tasting box featured Barry Colenso who was on the team that made Kate and Wills 'groom' wedding cake… fancy! Additionally on the menu, Cocoa Boutique included a score card for each chocolate. Like wine tasting, chocolate has its own subtle flavours, notes and textures, this was a way to keep track of all of them.
Each evening over a week, as an after dinner treat, M and I tucked into the chocolates, studying the menu to see which ones we wanted to try first.
I went for the Rum Cafe Cream a blend of milk and dark chocolate with an infusion of rum. I gave this one an 8 out of 10 as I felt it could have leaned more toward the dark chocolate side, but that might be personal preference.
Next up was the Cocoa Dusted Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel. There were three included, but I just tried one. This was something very special. I gave it a 9 out of 10.
Other highlights included the 'Pamela' which had painted flakes of pink and gold on top and the Dark Chocolate Coffee Beans.
As far as a box of chocolates goes, this is a very special treat. The presentation is amazing and it is a fun way to try different varieties you wouldn't normally get in your everyday selection box from the supermarket. It would make an ideal treat for a dinner party as it lends itself to discussion and conversation about chocolate.
Being a self professed connoisseur of chocolate, my only critique is that I think the chocolates could be a bit more adventurous. Who knows, maybe in future Tasting Boxes, Cocoa Boutique will push the boat out and include some wild combinations! However, this was an introduction Tasting Box to a new company, I think they got it spot on.
If you would like to try your own Tasting Box or become part of the artisan chocolate club, Cocoa Boutique are offering an introductory price of £9.95 or you could enter to win free chocolates. To keep up to date on all things Cocoa Boutique, you can follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Natallia Dobrynska became the first woman in history to break 5000 points after a phenomenal set of performances here in Istanbul where she scored 5013 points to win the pentathlon.
Dobrynska, the Beijing Olympic champion, arrived in Istanbul as the number one outsider and she cleverly kept well under the radar as the international media was focusing on the much awaited duel between defending Pentathlon champion Jessica Ennis and World Heptathlon champion Tatyana Chernova.
Following a strong display in each of the five events today, Dobrynska's extra edge turned out to be the even strength of each of her performances as none of her marks earned her less than 948 points!
Coming into the final event of the day in the leader position, Dobrynska's task was clear: she had to finish six-and-a-half seconds ahead of Ennis if she wanted to win her first World Indoor gold medal and she had to run faster than 2:12.69 if she wanted to break Irina Belova's 4991 World record.
The defending silver medallist, Dobrynska had no choice but to smash her 2:14.85 indoor PB and as she lined up for the start, it was clear she was not afraid to set out fast.
Dobrynska positioned herself on Ennis' heels and did not let the British champion make up too much ground up until the final bend when Ennis, a fastest runner, sprinted for the line. Ennis' lead was increasing metre by metre but Dobrysnka held on brilliantly to finish in a personal best 2:11.15 (948 points) to Ennis' equivalently brilliant personal best 2:08.09 (993 points).
After opening with a 8.38 (1044 points) display in the 60m Hurdles and a 1.84 (1029 points) clearance in the High Jump, Dobrynska held the overall fourth position. At the break she moved into third with a 16.51 (962 points) Shot Put but it was her Long Jump personal best 6.57 (1030 points) which catapulted her in the lead and first indicated that she was on World record pace.
Dobrynska's incredible efforts will be rewarded by a World record bonus of 50,000US$.
Today's was by far the best Pentathlon in the history of the event with obviously Dobrysnka making history as the first woman to break 5000 points, but also Ennis setting a national record 4965 points, the third best performance of all-time behind Dobrysnka's and Belova's former World record only!
In third, Austra Skujyte also set a national record 4802 points to become the 12th best performer of all-time.
With a 2:08.25 effort in the 800m, Poland's Karolina Tyminska ended in a season's best 4725 points in fourth, the same score amassed by Chernova in fifth.
What a better way than a World record for the IAAF World Indoor Championships to begin!

Dozens of men were interviewed as possible suspects in the murder of Elizabeth Short. None of the interviews panned out. A seemingly endless stream of false confessors appeared at various police stations around town; guys like Max Handler, a film bit player, who was the 25th man to claim he had murdered the Black Dahlia.
During a lie detector test Handler admitted his confession was false. Why would an innocent man confess? In Handler's case it was to escape from the 400 tiny men with violins who were chasing him. In the photo he looks to have been on a lobotomizing bender. He subsequently cleaned up, changed his name to Mack Chandler and appeared as a detective in the 1953 noir film, Crime Wave.
Daniel S. Voorhies, a 33 year old army vet, also confessed to killing Short. He said he had an affair with her in L.A. There were a couple of problems with his story. The first was that he didn't know how to spell her last name and, second, at the time he claimed and Short were having a torrid affair Beth was a very young teenager living on the east coast.
The local landscape was littered with crumpled up false confessions given by every sad drunk and deranged publicity seeker–and most of the confessors were men; but not all of them.
A gal named Minnie Sepulveda stepped up and said that she killed the Black Dahlia. She lied.
Mrs. Marie Grieme said she had heard a Chicago woman confess to the Black Dahlia murder. Her story was a dead end.
Even though none of the women who confessed were guilty, the cops began to think it wasn't out of the question that Short's slayer was female. After all, L.A. had had its share of female killers.
The Herald-Express ran side-by-side photos of three infamous homicidal women who were busted in L.A. Louise Peete (one of only four women ever to have been executed by the State of California) was a serial killer. She was busted for murder in the 1920s, did eighteen years, and following her release from prison committed yet another murder for which she paid with her life.
Winnie Ruth Judd committed two murders in Arizona. She was busted in L.A. when a trunk containing the dismembered remains of Hedvig Samuelson and Anne Le Roi got ripe and leaked bodily fluids in the baggage claim section of a local train station.
In 1922, Clara Phillips (aka "Tiger Girl") murdered Alberta Meadows, the woman she suspected was a rival for her husband's affections. She struck Meadows repeatedly with a hammer and, for the coup de grâce, she rolled a 50 lb. boulder on top of the corpse.
So, the notion that a woman could be Short's killer wasn't far-fetched at all. The Herald-Express featured a series of columns written by psychologist Alice La Vere. La Vere previously profiled Short's killer as a young man without a criminal record, but she was very open to the idea of a female killer. She abruptly shifted gears from identifying a young man as the slayer to "…a sinister Lucrezia Borgia — a butcher woman whose crime dwarfs any in the modern crime annals — are shadowed over the mutilated body of 22-year-old Elizabeth Short."
Obviously La Vere was an expert for hire, and if the Herald-Express editors asked her to write a convincing profile of the killer as a mutant alien from Mars, she'd likely have done it. Still, she made some compelling comments in her column for the newspaper.
"Murders leave behind them a trail of fingerprints, bits of skin and hair. The slayer of "The Black Dahlia" left the most tell-tale clue of all–the murder pattern of a degenerate, vicious feminine mind."
Even more interesting was La Vere's exhortation to the cops to look for an older woman. She said:
"Police investigators should look for a woman older than 'The Black Dahlia'. This woman who either inspired the crime or actually committed the ghastly, unspeakable, outrage, need not be a woman of great strength. Extreme emotion or high mental tension in men and women give great, superhuman strength."
If you compare Alice La Vere's profile of the possible killer to a profile created by John E. Douglas, who is retired from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU)– La Vere's seventy+ year old profile holds up well.
What I find interesting about La Vere's profile of a female perpetrator, is she said that the woman would be older than Short. In recent years an older woman became an integral part of a theory about the crime.
It is a theory put forward by writer and researcher, Larry Harnisch. Larry wrote an article for the Los Angeles Times on the fiftieth anniversary of Short's death. Subsequently, he has done more digging into the case and unearthed an important connection between the body dump site near 39th and Norton, and two medical doctors. One of the doctors, Walter Alonzo Bayley, had lived in a house just one block south of the place where Elizabeth Short's body had been discovered. At the time of the murder he was estranged from his wife who still occupied the home. Bayley left his wife for his mistress, Alexandra Partyka, also a medical doctor. Partyka emigrated to the U.S. and wasn't licensed to practice medicine, but she did assist Bayley in his practice.
Following Bayley's death in January 1948, Partyka and Dr. Bayley's wife, Ruth, fought over control of his estate. Mrs. Bayley claimed that Partyka was blackmailing the late doctor with secrets about his medical practice that could have ruined him.
There is also a link between Bayley's family and Short's. In 1945 one of Dr. Bayley's adopted daughters, Barbara Lindgren, was a witness to the marriage of Beth's sister, Virginia Short, to Adrian West at a church in Inglewood, California, near Los Angeles.
Larry discussed Dr. Bayley in James Ellroy's 2001 "Feast of Death". [Note: Be forewarned that there are photos of Elizabeth Short in the morgue.]
It is clear that a woman could have murdered Elizabeth Short; but could the woman have been Dr. Bayley's mistress, Alexandra Partyka? The chances are that we'll never know–or at least not until Larry Harnisch finishes his book on the case.
NEXT TIME: Another confession, and another murder.

Director Quentin Tarantino says he still sees no connection between film and real-life violence, but heatedly refused to tell a British TV journalist why.
The filmmaker appeared on Britain's Channel Four News program to promote his latest blood-soaked saga, "Django Unchained," which opened in U.S. theaters shortly after Connecticut's Sandy Hook school massacre, in which a 20-year-old gunman killed 20 first-graders and six adults before fatally shooting himself.
The critically acclaimed film, which is up for Hollywood's Best Picture Oscar, has become part of a wider dialogue about the impact screen violence has on people and whether filmmakers have a responsibility to tone it down in light of numerous real-life mass shootings.
Channel Four presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy quietly asked Tarantino several times to clarify statements he has made in the past about his opinion there is no relationship between movie and real-life violence.
Growing visibly irritated by the journalist's line of questioning, Tarantino told him, "I'm shutting your butt down."
"This is a commercial for the movie -- make no mistake," Tarantino said, emphasizing he has no intention of explaining why he likes making violent movies and why he doesn't think they influence people to hurt others.
He also encouraged his interviewer -- and anyone else who is interested in what he has to say about the topics -- to search the Internet for his past statements because his opinions have not changed "one iota."
"It's none of your damn business what I think about that," Tarantino said.
"I've explained this many times in 20 years but I just refuse to repeat myself over and over again because you want me to -- for you and your show and your ratings," the filmmaker said. "I'm going to tell you why I'm so sure? Don't ask me a question like that. I'm not biting. I refuse your question. I refuse your question. I'm not your slave and you're not my master. You can't make me dance to your tune. I'm not a monkey. I don't want to talk about what you want to talk about. I don't want to talk about the implications of violence. I haven't wanted ... because ... The reason I don't want to talk about it -- because I've said everything I have to say about it."
The writer-director also referred to "Django Unchained," a movie about a 19th century African-American slave who exacts revenge on white slave owners and criminals, as "good cinema," "not real life" and a "fantasy" that features "cathartic violence."
Tarantino's other film credits include "Reservoir Dogs," "Pulp Fiction," "Kill Bill" and "Inglorious Basterds."

The 58th annual Beltwide Cotton Conferences have concluded in San Antonio, Texas, marking an end of the annual program in its current form. Dwindling grower attendance and financial risks taken annually in guaranteeing hotel rooms by the National Cotton Council are among reasons for re-tooling the annual meeting, which brings together several research and professional components of the cotton industry.
The meeting, most likely with a name change, will be held the first week in January 2014 in New Orleans. Missing will be the large exhibition hall that annually houses dozens of cotton industry businesses. Without this corporate support, some contend subsequent Beltwide cotton meetings will be dramatically scaled back.
Exactly what the role the National Cotton Council will play in future Beltwide meetings isn't clear, according to organization officials.
One of the highlights of this year's meetings was a presentation by Joe Nicosia, executive vice-president of Louis Dreyfus Commodities in Cordova, Tenn. In his General Session presentation, Nicosia said the future of U.S. cotton growers is all about China.
He noted that China now owns approximately 46 million bales of cotton. With an annual shortage of cotton for their textile mills of about 4 million bales annually, China could conceivably not buy cotton on the world market for a decade.
Nicosia was quick to point out this is not going to happen, but it does emphasize the control China has in world cotton trading.
Consensus among several cotton marketing speakers at the Beltwide was that U.S. cotton growers will likely plant between 9.4 million and 9.8 million acres in 2013. This would be down significantly from previous years, and dramatically from the 20-year average.
In 2013, two bales per acre cotton was common in the Delta and Southeast states, while three bales per acre was the state average in Arizona and California.
Drought continued to plague cotton production in the Southwest. Texas, for example, with 4.9 million acres of cotton, produced a statewide average of only 539 pounds of lint per acre.
During this year's Beltwide conferences, four cotton growers were presented with Farm Press High Cotton Awards: Linwood Vick from the Southeast, Johnny Little from the Mid-South, John Wilde from the Southwest and Chad Crivelli from the Far West were recognized for their outstanding cotton production and conservation practices during the meeting.
Joining the exclusive group of 76 cotton farmers who have won the coveted High Cotton Award over the 19-year history of the program is Harry Cline, editor of Western Farm Press, who has written about cotton production in Arizona and California for over 40 years.
Cline was presented an Honorary High Cotton Award in recognition of his years of service to the cotton industry. He will retire from Farm Press in March.
During this year's Beltwide, Randy Norton, Extension cotton specialist at the University of Arizona was presented with the 2013 Extension Cotton Specialist of the Year Award.
The winner of this annual award, which is sponsored by Bayer CropScience, is selected by the winner's peers from across the Cotton Belt.

Explore the writings of key figures of the Reformation on the vital debates of their day using our Point-Counterpoint slides below! Topics include baptism, free will, indulgences, and the Eucharist.
Baptism: Luther
That the Baptism of infants is pleasing to Christ is sufficiently proved from His own work, namely, that God sanctifies many of them who have been thus baptized, and has given them the Holy Ghost; and that there are yet many even to-day in whom we perceive that they have the Holy Ghost both because of their doctrine and life; as it is also given to us by the grace of God that we can explain the Scriptures and come to the knowledge of Christ, which is impossible without the Holy Ghost. But if God did not accept the baptism of infants, He would not give the Holy Ghost nor any of His gifts to any of them; in short, during this long time unto this day no man upon earth could have been a Christian. Now, since God confirms Baptism by the gifts of His Holy Ghost as is plainly perceptible in some of the church fathers, as St. Bernard, Gerson, John Hus, and others, who were baptized in infancy, and since the holy Christian Church cannot perish until the end of the world, they must acknowledge that such infant baptism is pleasing to God. For He can never be opposed to Himself, or support falsehood and wickedness, or for its promotion impart His grace and Spirit. This is indeed the best and strongest proof for the simple-minded and unlearned. For they shall not take from us or overthrow this article: I believe a holy Christian Church, the communion of saints.
Baptism: Simons
In regard to infant baptism we hold and confess, first, that it is a self-begotten rite and human righteousness; for in all the New Testament there is not a word said or commanded about baptizing infants, by Christ nor by the apostles.
Secondly, that it is a breaking and tearing to pieces of the ordinance of Christ; for he has commanded that the gospel should be preached and that those should be baptized who believe, Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:15. But here they baptize without divine command, without the preaching of the word, without knowledge, faith, repentance, new life, and without all consciousness and knowledge, yet it is called by the learned a holy, glorious work and a Christian baptism and sacrament.
Thirdly, that it is a vain consolation and boasting of all the unrighteous; for, although they do not understand the word of God, do not know the truth and lead a licentious, carnal life, yet they boast themselves to be baptized Christians.
Baptism: Bucer
We confess and teach that holy baptism, when given and received according to the Lord's command, is in the case of adults and little children truly a baptism of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit, whereby those who are baptized have all their sins washed away, are buried into the death of our Lord Jesus Christ, are incorporated into him and put him on for the death of their sins, for a new and godly life and the blessed resurrection, and through him become children and heirs of God.
Free Will: Erasmus
Here belong the words of John the Baptist "No one can receive anything unless it is given to him from heaven" (John 3,27). Hence it does not follow that we lack the faculty or use of free will. The fact that fire warms us, comes from heaven; the fact that we seek by a natural impulse the useful and avoid the harmful, comes from heaven; the fact that after sin the will is excited to better efforts comes from heaven; the fact that we can obtain grace pleasing to God through our tears, almsgiving and prayers, comes from heaven. In the meantime our will is not inactive, even if man can reach the goal of his striving only with the final assistance of grace. But since it is a minimum which we contribute, the entire affair is attributed to God. . . . We oppose those who conclude like this: "Man is unable to accomplish anything unless God's grace helps him. Therefore there are no good works of man." We propose the rather more acceptable conclusion: "Man is able to accomplish all things, if God's grace aids him. Therefore it is possible that all works of man be good."
Free Will: Luther
Here, then, is something fundamentally necessary and salutary for a Christian, to know that God foreknows nothing contingently, but that God foresees and purposes and does all things by God's own immutable, eternal, and infallible will. Here is a thunderbolt by which free choice is completely prostrated and shattered, so that those who want free choice asserted must either deny or explain away this thunderbolt, or get rid of it by some other means. . . . It follows irrefutably that everything we do, everything that happens, even if it seems to us to happen mutably and contingently, happens in fact nonetheless necessarily and immutably, if you have regard to the will of God. For the will of God is effectual and cannot be hindered, since it is the power of the divine nature itself; moreover it is wise, so that it cannot be deceived. Now, if God's will is not hindered, there is nothing to prevent the work itself from being done, in the place, time, manner, and measure that God both foresees and wills. . . . A man cannot be thoroughly humbled till he realizes that his salvation is utterly beyond his own powers, counsels, efforts, will and works, and depends absolutely on the will, counsel, pleasure and work of Another—God alone . . . these truths are published for the sake of the elect, that they may be humbled and brought down to nothing, and so saved.
Indulgences: Luther
This is what I say: No one can defend the position with any passage from Scripture that God's righteousness desires or demands any punishment or satisfaction from sinners except for their heartfelt and true contrition or conversion alone—with the condition that from that moment on they bear the cross of Christ and practice the aforementioned works (but not as imposed by anyone). . . . I say that even if this very day the Christian church decided and decreed that indulgences took away more than the works of satisfaction did, nevertheless it would still be a thousand times better that no Christian buy or desire indulgences but instead that they would rather do works and suffer punishment. For indulgences are and may continue to be nothing other than the neglect of good works and salutary suffering, which a person should rather choose than omit— even though some of the new preachers have invented two kinds of sufferings: Medicativae, Satisfactoriae, that is, some suffering is for satisfaction and some for improvement. But, praise God, we have more freedom to disdain this kind of prattle than they have freedom to dream it up. For all suffering, indeed, everything God lays upon Christians is for their betterment and benefit.
Indulgences: Tetzel
The plenary indulgence remits the works of satisfaction to this extent: whoever is granted complete remission of pain is freed through papal power so that he is no longer obligated to do those works of satisfaction noted in article three, which had been imposed upon him for repented and confessed sins. Yet after the complete forgiveness of sins and pain, a person is no less tempted by the devil, his own flesh, and the world than he was before forgiveness. And evil habits and the possibility of falling quickly into sin again remain after forgiveness of sins and suffering. Therefore, in order to resist the devil, the flesh and the world and to subdue evil, sinful habit, inclination, and the possibility of falling quickly into sin again, a man, after complete forgiveness of sins and suffering, dare not refrain from penitential works that are salvific for him and a medicine for his spiritual weakness and also helpful toward gaining eternal life. . . . The plenary indulgence remits also the suffering that divine justice requires for sins, when they have been repented of and confessed and the penance imposed by the priest is insufficient. For the Papal Holiness follows St. Peter to the throne and papal office and also possesses, like St. Peter himself, the authority and the power to remit all sin. And it possesses this power from the words of the Lord, "All that you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven, etc." [Matthew 16:19] Now because the pope can forgive all sins, he can also remit, through indulgence, all the suffering due sin. For all the pain that people deserve to suffer for their sin is imposed and conferred on them as just punishment, first and foremost by God, against whom all mortal sin is directed.
Eucharist: Zwingli
We believe that Christ is truly present in the Lord's Supper; yea, that there is no communion without such presence. . . . We believe that the true body of Christ is eaten in the communion, not in a gross and carnal manner, but in a sacramental and spiritual manner by the religious, believing and pious heart.
Eucharist: Bugenhagen
The remembrance here should be of the shed blood for the forgiveness of sins and not of the blood which you can remember in the body proclaiming the death of the Lord, etc. The learned papists must, after all, confess with us that the true body and the true blood of Christ are in the sacrament, but not in a natural or comprehensible manner. What do the people fantasize against the command of Christ with rational thoughts? Just do not make a remembrance here of the living body. Christ wants a remembrance here of His offered body and of His blood that was shed for our sin. This is a sacrament of faith. Reason cannot comprehend it. Therefore, only Christ's word must be valid here so that what He says may be. We must do what He commands with the sacrament and nothing else, in spite of the devil who wants to change it. I let everything happen in this sacrament that you can remember, but only the devil wants that the word and command of Christ should be lost for the sake of human thoughts. Christians should listen to Christ.
Eucharist: Calvin
The sum is, that the flesh and blood of Christ feed our souls just as bread and wine maintain and support our corporal life. For there would be no aptitude in the sign, did not our souls find their nourishment in Christ. This could not be, did not Christ truly form one with us, and refresh us by the eating of his flesh, and the drinking of his blood. But though it seems an incredible thing that the flesh of Christ, while at such a distance from us in respect of place, should be food to us, let us remember how far the secret virtue of the Holy Spirit surpasses all our conceptions, and how foolish it is to wish to measure its immensity by our feeble capacity. Therefore, what our mind does not comprehend, let faith conceive; viz., that the Spirit truly unites things separated by space. That sacred communion of flesh and blood by which Christ transfuses his life into us, just as if it penetrated our bones and marrow, he testifies and seals in the Supper, and that not by presenting a vain or empty sign, but by there exerting an efficacy of the Spirit by which he fulfils what he promises. And truly the thing there signified he exhibits and offers to all who sit down at that spiritual feast, although it is beneficially received by believers only who receive this great benefit with true faith and heartfelt gratitude.

Near the end of his life, in 1543, Luther wrote a lengthy screed titled, Against the Jews and Their Lies. In light of what happened to Europe's Jews four centuries later, Luther's recommendation to "…set fire to their synagogues…" gives a terrible but accurate picture of the Reformer's problematic anti-Jewish sentiments. In 1994, however, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America officially repudiated Luther's anti-Jewish writings in a formal statement apologizing to the Jewish community.

Volume 4 of The Annotated Luther series presents an array of Martin Luther's writings related to pastoral work, including sermons, hymns, letters, writings on prayer and the Christian life, as well as his widely used Small Catechism.
In his The Babylonian Captivity of the Church, Martin Luther set forth a reconsideration of the sacramental Christian life that centered on the word. His thesis is that the papacy had distorted the sacraments with its own traditions and regulations, transforming them into a system of control and coercion.
With great clarity and insight, James M. Estes illuminates Luther's call to secular authorities to help with the reform of the church in this important 1520 treatise. To combat Rome's intransigent opposition to reform of any sort, Luther appealed to secular rulers to intervene and clear the way for ecclesiastical reform.
In autumn 1525, Luther wrote The Bondage of the Will as a response to humanist and theologian Erasmus of Rotterdam, who had criticized Luther's teachings in the diatribe On Free Will. Luther's argument on the matter of the bound and free will poses a challenge and an invitation for constructive contemporary theology.


text:
Who can administer the sacrament of holy baptism? Can this only be administered by a minister? A church officer? A lay person? I am a member of a PCA church and am curious about what Scripture says on this subject. Also, elders and deacons in the PCA are called by God and ordained in the church. Are they also able to baptize? Thank you.
The PCA and the OPC are both churches that profess adherence to the teaching of The Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) and The Larger and Shorter Catechisms. It is the teaching of these Standards that none but ministers may administer the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper. See WCF 27:4:
There be only two sacraments ordained by Christ our Lord in the Gospel; that is to say, baptism, and the Supper of the Lord: neither of which may be dispensed by any, but by a minister of the Word lawfully ordained.
The reason for this is that the Sacraments are official ordinances of the Church, commanded by Christ. And in 1 Corinthians 4:1 the Apostle Paul says "Let a man so account of us, as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God." This clearly implies that such a task as "the work of ministry" (Ephesians 4:12) is not something that a person takes to himself on his own, but is rather bestowed upon him by the church according to God's revealed will (Ephesians 4:12 and Hebrews 5:4). This has nothing to do with any idea of ministers being more holy than others, or even more worthy. It has everything to do with the clear Biblical teaching concerning the offices of the church, and their God-ordained function.
You ask another question that deserves a careful answer. You say, "elders and deacons in the PCA are called by God and ordained in he church. Are they also able to baptize?" I will answer it in two parts.
First, the answer under all ordinary circumstances must be "no." It is for this reason that I've never seen any sacrament administered without a minister of the word. And this is not without a scriptural basis. The word and sacrament belong together. And it is only an ordained minister (or teaching elder) who has been certified and approved by the church to both teach and administer the sacraments.
Second, there may be, in my humble opinion, possible exceptions under extraordinary circumstances. I once heard or read somewhere that the Covenanters in Scotland were deprived of the sacraments for an extremely long period of time. There may also be very unusual circumstances (such as war, for instance) in which irregular things might be done today that the church would afterwards approve. I am even of the opinion that the baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40) by the deacon Philip (in a time of severe persecution)—outside the context of any congregation—was irregular. Yet there is no question that it was fully valid. So I'm not willing to say that there could never be an exception to the good rule by which we regulate our normal practice. And I emphasize that I heartily agree with our practice under all normal circumstances.
Thanks for some interesting questions!
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

WALTHAM, Mass.- In a matter of seconds, elation turned to heartbreak as the Brandeis University men's basketball team lost at the buzzer to the 22nd-ranked Rhode Island College Anchormen at Red Auerbach Arena, 73-72. The Judges fall to 3-1 while the Anchormen even their record at 2-2.
Brandeis trailed for much of the contest with the deficit reaching 13 with 4:50 left on the clock. The momentum of the contest finally turned with the Judges down 67-56 and 4:09 to play. Senior guard Ben Bartoldus (Hillsborough, N.H./Proctor Acad. (N.H.)) was fouled while shooting from beyond the arc and drained all three of his free throws to pull Brandeis within eight. After the Anchormen went down the court and missed a 3-pointer, Bartoldus went back down the other way and drilled a trifecta of his own to cut the lead to five. An excellent press off the inbounds resulted in a steal and layup for Bartoldus as the crowd erupted and the lead was three. Another inbounds play for RIC and another outstanding trap resulted in a steal for senior guard Gabriel Moton (St. Petersburg, Fla./St. Petersburg). When he drained a pair from the charity stripe, the clock read 3:03 and Brandeis had cut the lead down to one at 67-66.
With 2:06 remaining, it looked like the Anchormen had given themselves just enough breathing room when junior forward Chris Burton (New Rochelle, N.Y./New Rochelle) found nothing but net on 3-pointer from the top of the key late in the shot clock to give his squad a 71-66 edge. However, two free throws from Moton, a defensive stop, and two more free throws from Bartoldus set the stage for a frantic finish.
Incredible team defense by the Judges forced a shot clock violation with 24.6 seconds remaining in the game. With the shot clock turned off, Brandeis went to work. Moton drove down the left side of the paint and tried to put up a shot, but he was turned away and had to rescue the ball by diving out of bounds. In the split second he still had possession, coach Brian Meehan called a timeout and the Judges got the ball under the basket with 8.6 to go. On the ensuing inbounds play, sophomore guard Colby Smith (No. Andover, Mass./No,. Andover) found an open senior forward Alex Stoyle (Goffstown, N.H./Tilton School) who swished home a jumper from just above the foul line, giving Brandeis their first lead of the half with 6.8 seconds on the clock, 72-71.
On the final possession of the game, RIC's inbounder hit Cilley in stride. Cilley raced down the court and dished to senior guard Michael Palumbo (Providence, R.I./Classical) who got behind the Judges defense on a back door cut. Palumbo's lay-up dropped in as the buzzer sounded, giving the visitors a 73-72 victory.
Brandeis was led by Bartoldus who netted 19 points. Three other starters joined him in double-figures as Moton added 16, rookie guard Robinson Vilmont (Cambrdige, Mass./Wilbraham and Monson Acad.) had 13, and Stoyle contributed 10 more. Moton finished with a double-double, as he tied for the game-high with 11 rebounds, including five on the offensive glass. Bartoldus pulled down eight boards. Moton also had a game-high six assists. Vilmont and Moton each swiped four steals while Bartoldus had three more.
The Anchormen were led by Palumbo who came off the bench to score 16 points on 7-for-11 shooting including two trifectas. Burton joined him in double-figures with 10 as a reserve. Sophomore center Mike Neal (Pawtucket, R.I./Shea) had a team-high 11 rebounds while Cilley and senior guard Nyheem Sanders (Pawtucket, R.I./St. Andrew's) each had two assists.
In the first half, the Judges started strong, jumping out to a 7-2 lead in under three minutes. RIC did not let the early spurt get to them and rebounded to go on a 16-6 run and grab a five point advantage after a jumper from rookie guard Austin Cilley (Westerly, R.I./Westerly). Brandeis kept it close and regained the lead on a 3-pointer from Stoyle, but the Anchormen closed the half on a 17-5 charge and headed into the break with a 42-33 edge. The second half looked to be more of the same as Brandeis continued to struggle with shooting and turnovers after making only 33.3% of their shots from the field in the first period and turning the ball over 11 times.
The Judges return to action Tuesday November 26th in Red Auerbach Arena against Lasell with a 7:00 p.m. start. RIC continues their season on Tuesday November 26th at Bridgewater State at 7:30 p.m.

Perhaps it's a Canadian affectation, but I firmly believe that the maple-bacon flavor combination is as perfect and complementary as peanut butter and chocolate, or peanut butter and jam. The tastes are meant for each other, inseparable in aroma as some characters are in fiction: Bonnie and Clyde, Ren and Stimpy, or Tom and freaking Jerry come to mind. The Maple Bacon Chocolate sauce you see above not only combines the smoky-sweet goodness of maple-bacon, but layers it over a thick, sirupy base of chocolate. And just like that, you've got yourself the kind of concoction you're going to be wanting to put on everything: pancakes, French toast, regular toast, french fries, on bacon, in your coffee, smeared all over your face in a maple-bacon-choloate induced nervous breakdown.
Each jar contains 5 ounces, which isn't a whole lot. And it's $10 per jar, which is a lot. But hey: maple. Bacon. Chocolate!
