Thursday: BC assisted suicide, Munro wins Nobel, blind speed record, wrong Rogers Twitter account, and more...

Tonight:

To be allowed to be or not to be. The BC Court of Appeal upholds the ban on assisted suicide -- to the sorrow of our guest, whose mother had to travel to Switzerland to end her life in 2010.

Could you be less specific? A new report shows that an increasing number of doctors with specialized areas of expertise can't find work in Canada.

Patience and a virtuoso. Alice Munro has been writing perfect short stories for decades, and today -- 45 years after the publication of her first book -- she was finally awarded the Nobel Prize.

Victory, despite -- and for -- limited resources. A Michigan lawyer recounts his decade-long battle against Nestlé's water use -- and says government should be stepping up to protect our water.

No one's ever seen anything like it -- including him. Mike Newman didn't drive faster than anyone ever has -- but by getting a Porsche up to three hundred kilometres an hour, he did drive faster than anyone blind ever has.

And...the unjolly Rogers. When telecom company Rogers -- Twitter handle @Rogers_Canada -- experiences an outage, furious customers mistakenly tweet their rage to a pleasant New York man named Glenn Rogers -- Twitter handle @Rogers.

As It Happens, the Thursday edition. Radio that cautions you to check the handle before flying off it.
