Your Jerrold-less and very windy morning news roundup for Wednesday January 9th, 2008:

Sure, we all want a day off in February, but maybe it'd be more cost effective for the province if everyone just called in sick instead.

Ontario's SIU has determined that Toronto officers did not commit any criminal offenses in the death of Jasen Drnasin in November of 2006. Drnasin died a few hours after his arrest, and had developed severe brain swelling immediately after his confrontation with Toronto police.

75 people of 200 passengers on board an Air Canada flight coming into Canada from Tel Aviv were quarantined after 8 developed flu-like symptoms during the trip. They were allowed to leave somewhere around 11pm yesterday after they had their temperature taken.

Toronto waterfront condo The Palace Pier recently converted its internal building lighting to LED based alternatives. No word as to whether or not it's Lite-Brite compatible.

Danielle posted her concerns about the, erm, colourful videos that venerable local paper The Sun recently singled out. Some commenters questioned "the bystander effect," while others said we need to nuke the cams and hire more security. Eff it all, we need Adam West.

On that note, this linked video is my favourite Toronto video of 2007. Beyonce. In concert. Topless.

That Beyonce video is classic, it was all over the gossip blogs the week it happened, all for a blurry booby.

Oh yes I need money also more like 25,000.00. Yes thats a lot but when you think about all the filthy rich people out there on this earth to them it's a drop in the bucket. No Im am not some young chick I am 45 a nurse I am raising 4 children, my husband and I are in the middle of a divorce he is and alchoholic/drug addict I filed after he walked out on us and then to top it he let our brand new chrysler van get reposesed and since he had the full time job and makes a hell of alot more money than me he never went and retrieved our van from repo they in turn auctioned it off for 5000.00 and we still owed 20,000 on the damn thing wel I couldnt come up with the money I was only working part time, so I went to my lawyer because our home was going to go next if I didnt do something, He gave him a print out of all we owed and he took it before the judge and got me child support going Now i recieve more than half of his paycheck ever tuesday, but in the mean time our mortgage was an ARM mortgage and rolled over to the adjusting rates so now our home thats not even worth a 1000.00 dollars a month is what I have to struggle to come up with every month, barely leaves enough left to pay other bills and let alone take care of cloth and feed 4 kids my daughter Amaris is getting ready to graduate also from highschool and the thought of paying for college kills me I have applied for F.A.F.S.A. for her but do not know what it will cover, but by god she will attend 4 yeras and get a good job so she dosent have to struggle in life to make ends meet. So theres my story as to why I need some filthy rich person out there to: 1) Pay off my mortgage or 2) Pay off my debt hey or both owe 99,000 on the mortgage and the debt is approximatley 30,000.00 all together and did I mention that includes medical exspenses for my 8 year old whom has ashma and has ended up in the hospital with sever attacks our insurance sucks and only pays office visits anymore and the medical bills have accumulated do to all the Drs. appointments and hospital visits/labs that have been done holy shit I could go on and on as to why i need monay given to me, can't wait until next year my youngest will be in school all day and i can work full time. Thats my story in a nutshell so do you know anyone who could help me. I have always said there are so many filthy rich people out there and so many filthy poor people out there that if all the money on earth was taken and distributed evenly amongst all human society there would be no more poverty, I call that HEAVEN on earth because I beleive it is true.
