January’s final Headlines

Mmm…I love the smell of Friday. It’s like perfectly frying bacon and fresh cinnamon buns, all good.

But enough about my daily breakfast of bacon and icing. It really is Friday and that really does mean we are hours from the weekend. Which we are all working for.

I had a thought this morning, since I am in a good mood. I wondered if I looked back at Friday morning headlines, and compared it to the previous evening’s trivia outcome, would there be a correlation of my mood level to my team’s performance the night before. Then I remembered that I’d have no real way to check on months of trivia and figured I probably am crabbier the day after a loss.

Good thing for all of us, we won last night.

from the Edmonton Journal:

Edmonton joins Alberta Industrial Heartland Association

Massage parlour issue rubs people the wrong way (I bet it rubs some people the right way.)

New spot for durable paint (The Paint Spot moves around Old Strathcona.)

Investigative team brings decades of experience (This is about the Northland School Division.)

Cellphone mystery man sought in homicide (This is more what you’d think of when I say “investigation.”)

Court decision “bad for Albertans”: privacy commissioner (And he’s not just saying that because it affects him.)

Man in wheelchair struck and killed on Mill Woods Road

from the Edmonton Sun:

Heated reaction to user fees for medical services

Derailment probe leads to second man (The train wreck where a piece of heavy equipment was left on the tracks.)

from the Edmonton Examiner:

Braille club gives a lesson in learning (And helps out YESS.)

from The Canadian Press:

Heavy oil refinery to be built near Edmonton (A couple more of these and the governing Tories won’t have to worry about being bad at governing anymore. They’ll just count the money. Oh, and still be bad at governing.)

from Metro Edmonton:

McBride added to stacked Big Valley Jamboree lineup

Snowy owl not so wise (Maybe he WANTS to be caught.)

from 630CHED/iNews880:

Pocklington to lose Cup rings

Damage estimate released in southside blazes (It’s one…million…dollars. Oh, and you need to check out these photos of the fire.)

from CBC Edmonton:

Deal to lower cost of existing generic drugs

Top court won’t force feds to seek Khadr’s return (Consitutional rights violated? Check. Protection of such? Meh.)

from CTV Edmonton:

Northlands hopes to be involved in new arena project (I was hoping they’d fight with Katz but it sounds like they’ve got a softer position.)

from Global Edmonton:

Making transit safer (The fourth attack on an ETS driver in two months – 75 in 12 months according to the CBC -  is putting Peace Officers on more buses. Oh, and a call for “zero tolerance.”)
