Those are codes in the Commonwealth games information that denote first class travel. The document is 80-some pages, but it sure is interesting! Check it out here:

I found it quite interesting the Executive Committee voted to give some of the staff members extra months' of salary, namely Tony Holding, the Senior Director of Strategic Relations an extra 4 months salary on April 17, 2007 - a full month after the bid was scrapped. I'm sure this is going to be a very topic for Monday!

A caller told me off air that "unaudited" means the company that compiled the information based on what the committee told them, and didn't have to provide the actual receipts, so do with that what you may!

The big topic on the show (besides flyers) was this disgusting killing of the Polish man in Vancouver. Sickening. I can't even bear to watch the video. I keep turning away when they play it on TV. I feel so terrible for his mother, who was just feet away when her son was killed. I can't remember the caller who mentioned this, but why can't they reduce the voltage? You know how much it hurts when you get a regular shock? Okay, ramp that up to 50-thousand volts. The guns would be just as effective with a lot less voltage. The poor, poor man. He was agitated, yes, but to taser him twice?

No one deserves to die like that.

Kind of a downer way to end the blog for the week, but it's grey outside and the story has me totally bummed out.

Oh, the Ernie Fage trial has been delayed until Tuesday. Click on www.herald.ns.ca for the story or tune into my news @ 4 and 5 on C100.

Have a good weekend,
