Thats an awful representation. You might be sullied by years of inadequate local "journalism" but Martys show was the only local radio program that actually looked into current events and didnt just read press releases. He had lots of great guests on from the obvious and mainstream to the less obvious. There was a time when his show was the only one Mayor Sammy would appear on. In fact, Sammy had seemingly blackballed CJOB but Marty interviewed him when he was guest hosting the Nighthawk And I know for a fact CJOB had further discussions with him. It also gave the college students real work to do. I was really surprised by how many people were avid listeners. Just at my work, my 50+ year old boss, 25 year old co-workers and everyone in between. Dont under-estimate how popular his show was. There was a reason the commercial stations wanted to kill it. It was the only think worth listening to between 4-6.

The police have the right to respond reasonably. If you spit on the sidewalk and a cop on the other side of the street yelled at you to stop and you ran, should he shoot you? Is that a reasonable response? Police give up car chases all the time because they become unsafe. If this victim was known to the officer to have an outstanding warrant for murder, attempted murder, rape, aggravated assault with a weapon...then the officer is justified in retaining the suspect up to and including deadly means. But thats not the case here. Not only that, but the officer begins opening the victims car door without giving any instructions to vacate the car. Not having a license is a ticket. Its not a death penalty. I once got stopped in a similar scenario. I was parked in a fire lane. Unbeknownst to me, a cop pulled up behind me. Asked me for my license. I didnt have it on me. He asked if I had anything with my ID on it. I had a work ID. He took it to run my name. He came back and said he suspected I did not have a valid DL (I did) but said he was actually busy so he wasnt going to give me a ticket. Coincidentally, I also had my front plate sitting on my dash which he said was not legal. No one got shot. Id suspect the cop gets manslaughter or might plea down to it though the DA is fired up about this case. I usually take the side of the police in these matters or give them the benefit of the doubt. But we're seeing too many instances of simply piss-poor police conduct. And it shows why every cop should be wearing a body cam.

I dont dislike him. But you dont hand out deals like that for a guy who struggled on a good team to be a consistent 3rd line center.

@FriedgeHNIC: Work still being done on Sutter extension in VAN, but hearing five years is expected to be the term. AAV sounds like just under $4.4M. Are the Canucks management on drugs?

WinnipegSun.ca The big boss with the hot sauce is leaving town. Charles Adler, a longtime fixture at radio station CJOB, announced at the start of his Thursday morning show that he has given the Corus-owned station notice. Like his morning show predecessor Peter Warren, Adler said he is moving to B.C. to be closer to family. His last show at CJOB will be on Aug. 7. Geoff Currier, the longtime nighttime host, will be taking over Adler’s show. Adler has been at the station for 17 years, mostly as its mid-morning host, with a few years spent as a national afternoon host on Corus stations across the country. He also hosted a show for about two years on the now-defunct Sun News Network. Adler’s announcement comes on the heels of more reported layoffs at the station, which for the first time in decades lost its hold on the top spot in Winnipeg’s radio ratings in the spring, to CBC Radio. Among the reported casualties is Jim Toth, who hosted an early-evening sports show. CJOB general manager Scott Armstrong wouldn’t directly comment on the layoffs — first reported by ChrisD.ca — but seemingly acknowledged changes were afoot at the station when reached by the Sun early Wednesday night. “Like all businesses, we make changes constantly to serve our audience and clients and to grow our company,” Armstrong wrote, in an email. This story will be updated.

@CNN: Source: Part number from aircraft debris found on island corresponds to a Boeing 777 aircraft. http://t.co/6BWEBOiq7shttp://t.co/E3Py2oiX2O Must be MH370. Hopefully this somehow allows them to pinpoint the search somewhat. What are the odds there is larger pieces? Hopefully a fuselage with instrumentation and bodies.

Please explain. Trying to remember the details. The computer would not boot up. Called MS help line since it was some sort of update that seemed to lead to the issue. The guy on the phone, who did not fill me with confidence but assured me he was an expert said he had to format the HD. I said well wont that erase everything on my HD and he said yes but they were going to move my content into a protected section. So he walks me through doing it and I said "I really dont think this has actually done anything." He promised, vowed, guaranteed it had. Format the HD. Whoops, everything is gone. He ended the conversation with "Well, I really dont know." My own fault for trusting him I guess.

That seems counter to conventional wisdom. lol

I never used mine for gaming or anything weird. Always left it on. Three died. The last one, I should say wasnt dead but something happened to it after some sort of microsoft download. And MS helpfully erased my hard drive of absolutely everything. So the computer still worked I guess. That was when we decided to try a Mac. And aside from replacing the disc drive once, zero issues. Im sure there are plenty of people who have had Mac issues and plenty of people who have had PC issues. Its just a matter of preference. I use a PC at work ofcourse. I use the Mac at home. I cant say which I prefer. Im more comfortable with the Mac now. I mainly use it for digitizing and editing video. if I had to replace it, i'd lean towards Mac just due to familiarity I think. But I'd consider a PC. Here's a question. I have two external hard drive's for my Mac, filled with video files, pics etc. If I bought a PC tomorrow, I couldnt plug those HD's into the PC and access those files...could I?

Only yourself and Nate would be tuning in.... that guy is a walking disaster Completely false. His listenership on kick was tremendous. I couldn't believe the amount of diverse people who listened to him. One of the reasons the board moved to get rid of him was the board was made up of GM's from commercial stations and they didn't like getting whooped by a college station on the drive home

That's rather absurd. Like I said I don't necessarily prefer one over the other but it's not like Macs are a niche customer. I can only speak to my experience which was nothing but problems with PCs and a Mac that has been great for years.

I know more people who have given up on PC's and switched to Macs and are glad they did. My parents and siblings actually use both thoigh probably have more Macs then PC's now. To each his own. I love the ease of use with Mac But if windows 10 is as good as they claim Id take a long look at a PC next time I need a computer.

I wasn't going to say that but didn't want to get into a Mac debate with anyone. I have no skin in either game. If I had to buy right now Id probably go PC for the price. But if money was no object Id get a Mac because my only experience with Mac has been way more reliable than PC.

They used to be right of centre. I used to like Currier but he is such a fan of his own voice he's hard to listen to. And God forbid a caller disagree with him. I like Cloutier. Going with Currier and Cloutier in the morning is a strong effort to get morning show ratings. Honestly if they are smart they'd bring in someone like Marty Gold for drive home. His listenership was very strong when he had his show. No issue with Bombers. Garth Buchko made sure of that by signing a multi year deal before he jumped from CJOB to the Bombers.

WINNIPEG — Corus Entertainment has dropped the axe in another round of layoffs, affecting mainly 680 CJOB. Sources say sports host/producer Jim Toth was let go on Wednesday, along with several others. A producer, some of the station’s creative team and a number of sales people were also cut. National evening show host Jeff Woods is also no longer with the station. JD Francis — former morning co-host of sister station 99.1 Fresh Radio — resigned last week. The new morning team consists of Clint James and Vicki Shae. Sources say 680 CJOB will restructure its morning show to include Geoff Currier, who will co-host with Richard Cloutier. The status of current co-host Kathy Kennedy isn’t yet known. Veteran host Charles Adler is said to be leaving the station on his own accord within the next two weeks. A spokesperson for Toronto-based Corus didn’t return an e-mail and phone call seeking comment. CJOB was knocked to second place in the spring radio ratings, sitting under CBC Radio One, who overtook the station as the city’s top talk choice. Corus reported an $8.1 million net loss in its third quarter.

Trump has a bombastic way of saying things but a lot of what he says is not without merit. Exclusive: Trump lashes out at 'vicious, horrible' lawyer over breast pump break By Dana Bash and MJ Lee, CNN Updated 4:30 PM ET, Wed July 29, 2015 New York (CNN)Donald Trump lashed out Wednesday at a female lawyer whom he had called "disgusting" several years ago for requesting a break to pump breast milk in the middle of a deposition, calling her a "vicious, horrible person." In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, the Republican presidential candidate claimed that the attorney, Elizabeth Beck, had wanted to pump breast milk in other people's presence. Trump alleged that Beck was now retaliating against him because she was unhappy about having lost that legal battle, and that she had fabricated a story about Trump losing his cool and storming out of the deposition room. "She wanted to breast pump in front of me and I may have said that's disgusting, I may have said something else. I thought it was terrible," Trump said. "She's a vicious, horrible person." Elizabeth Beck described the 2011 encounter -- first reported by the New York Times late Tuesday -- as Trump having "an absolute meltdown" in an interview with CNN's "New Day" Wednesday morning. "He got up, his face got red, he shook his finger at me and he screamed, 'You're disgusting, you're disgusting,' and he ran out of there," Beck said. Trump strongly refuted this characterization in Wednesday's interview, saying Beck had distorted the events. "She made it up. She made it up," he said. "She's saying, 'Oh, he was so violent and he was so, so wild and she was afraid.' She was afraid of nobody. She's a tough killer in Miami everyone knows she's a killer. They all hate her." Well-known for his colorful language and imagery, Trump went on to compare Beck's interview with CNN earlier in the day to the way people who had never met Michael Jackson discussed the iconic pop star after his death. "So many people are on television that don't know me and they're like experts on me," Trump said. "You know when Michael Jackson died -- I knew him very well -- and everybody was talking about Michael Jackson. They didn't know him, they knew nothing. Some of them never even met him." Pressed on how the 2011 incident reflects on how Trump would behave as president -- and how he would react if challenged by a world leader like Russian President Vladimir Putin -- Trump answered: "Believe me, I'd do very well with him. I get along with people." Trump's immigration policy takes shapeTrump also started to give his immigration platform some shape. He said that as president he would deport all undocumented immigrants and then allow the "good ones" to reenter the country through an "expedited process" and live in the U.S. legally, though not as citizens. "Legal status," Trump suggested. "We got to move 'em out, we're going to move 'em back in if they're really good people." For a blustering candidate whose rhetoric has snatched headlines and galvanized a sizable segment of the Republican base, Trump's comments Wednesday represent his most detailed explanation into what he would do with the estimated 11-plus million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. He had previously suggested that he favors a "merit-based system," but did not delve into his support of granting legal status, but not citizenship to undocumented immigrants he calls "the good ones." But Trump is still a long ways from presenting a specific immigration policy platform and his explanation in Wednesday's interview shows a candidate who -- despite leading in the polls a week ahead of the first primary debate -- is still largely dealing in broad strokes. Trump would not say how he would locate, round up and deport the 11 million undocumented immigrants he says must go. Instead, he deflected, saying that while it may be a task too tall for politicians, it isn't for a business mogul like himself. "Politicians aren't going to find them because they have no clue. We will find them, we will get them out," Trump said. "It's feasible if you know how to manage. Politicians don't know how to manage." And when asked about whether he would deport undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, Trump fumbled and said, unsure, that "it's a tough situation" and "it depends." Trump was unequivocal, though, that a Trump administration would immediately deport undocumented criminals living freely and in American jails. "We have a lot of bad dudes, as I said. We have a lot of really bad people here," Trump said. "I want to get the bad ones out...And by the way, they're never coming back." But he was also unwavering in his insistence that many of the undocumented immigrants in the U.S. are positive additions to the country and should be allowed to live in the U.S. legally -- of course, only after being expelled and then brought back in through Trump's "expedited process" for legal status. "We have to make sure they were exemplary, they were wonderful people when they were here. They worked hard, there was no problem," he said. "We have to bring great people into this country. OK? And I want to bring -- I love the idea of immigration. But it's got to be legal immigration." Health careTrump also didn't delve into details when asked about his position on health care, which has changed over the years. Trump once supported the liberal plan to create a national, single-payer health care system similar to the one in Canada, a position he explained in his 2000 book "The America We Deserve." But as a Republican presidential candidate, Trump's plan is now simpler: Repeal Obamacare. And then? "Replace with something terrific," Trump said, explaining that the "terrific" would be handled by private companies competing in the private market. But Trump suggested an alternative system for lower-income individuals -- describing what, in the broad strokes, appears to sound similar to Medicaid. "I want to try to help those people. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but I want to try and help those people," Trump said. "And you know what, if I lose votes over that, or if I don't get a nomination over that, that's just fine with me." Getting along with the RNC and why Biden might yet run Trump said Wednesday that he has recently had "very nice" conversations with the head of the Republican National Committee. "I respect him," Trump said of RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. Trump's interactions with Priebus have come under close scrutiny after the businessman said he was more likely to run as a third-party candidate if he felt the party establishment wasn't treating him fairly. The relationship hit a particular rough patch when the committee scolded Trump earlier this month for making disparaging comments about Sen. John McCain's service in the Vietnam War. Trump repeated that the best path forward for him is to win the GOP nomination and face Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. "Believe me. I will beat Hillary," he said. He questioned, however, whether the former secretary of state would even be able to continue her campaign due to her use of her personal email at the State Department. "What she did is a criminal act. She burned up the emails. She got rid of her hard drive," he said. Trump suggested that Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, the senator from Vermont, could end up with more competition. "I think that other people are going to probably join the race, eventually, like maybe (Vice President Joe) Biden and other people," he said.

Street fight at Robin's Donuts. Loser buys an egg salad sub.

I definitely believe we should be careful on drug prices. I respect the right of the drug companies that invest all the money and research into development to recoup their investment but to me this isnt like building a better smart phone. There has to be a sense of moral responsibility. And since a private enterprise is never going to impost moral responsibility on itself, government must. But I'd suspect Canada is in a better place to argue that at the table then not at the table. We shall see...

What would Tamen have to give up for Ricky Ray?

I was resistant to getting it. GF wanted it. We went through about 3-4 PC's in three years. Got a Mac and have had it for 7 years. Only issue was the hard drive needed to be replaced.

That one I just posted might be the most egregious. No front tag? Death penalty.

This Sandra Bland case is sort of smaller than its being made out to be. Yes, someone died. Tragic and senseless. But it was suicide. The issue is the arrest and was it lawful. She resisted arrest by refusing to get out of the car when ordered to do so. The question is, was the order to get out of the car lawful? And most legal analysts say no. The other silly thing is, she was held in jail for days on a $5000 bond for "resisting arrest" and, I believe, assaulting an officer....(is that correct)? When in reality, the core issue was failure to signal. its a shame no one at some point said gee what a waste of time and resources here. Give her a ticket, tell her to lose the attitude next time and send her on her way. Case closed. The problem with cases like this is the family *always* claims the victim was a perfect angel. They claim she would never commit suicide even though she reportedly had suicide attempts or thoughts previously. She was a cutter and alleged heavy pot smoker. She killed herself.

Hey the loading bay at the place next to my work was filled with water. Maybe we work beside each other. Next time we get into a debate maybe we can settle it with a ladder match out in the parking lot. Deal! I work on McGillivray. What are the odds? Probably slim lol
