The nation is still morning the death of 32 students at that were gunned down by Virginia Tech student Cho Seung-Hui (SEEN ABOVE) this week. They say that’s was the worst and deadliest tragedy in modern history ( I beg to differ-but I digress).
Instead of regurgitating what everybody knows about this situation and the shocking infamous video that was mailed to NBC of his manifesto, the latest in the news on this horrible situation is Hui was picked on, pushed around and laughed at over his shyness and the strange way he talked when he was a schoolboy in the Washington suburbs, former classmates say. The high school classmates' accounts add to the psychological portrait that is beginning to take shape, and could shed light on the video rant Cho mailed to NBC in the middle of his rampage at Virginia Tech.

Users of the hand-held BlackBerry e-mail device, a communications lifeline for movers and shakers from the White House to Wall Street, endured hours of disrupted service before the system was restored on Wednesday.

LOCAL
There were two upsets in local political elections this week. Incumbent east St. Louis Mayor Carl Officer's second tour of duty as the city's mayor came to an end Tuesday. Former City Manager Alvin Parks (PICTURED ABOVE) got 3,730 votes to Officer's 3,697. Parks ran with the support of the city's Democratic Central Committee East St. Louis, with all 44 precincts reporting, unofficial results put Mayor Carl Officer just 33 votes behind former city manager and Councilman Alvin Parks, the candidate favored by the city's Democratic establishment. Voter turnout in East St. Louis was almost 33 percent, a high figure for a municipal election.
There, Officer, also mayor from 1979 to 1991, faced claims that he had failed to deliver on the promises that helped him win in 2003 over a Democratic favorite. The city has continued to struggle in recent years with crumbling infrastructure, extreme poverty and open drug dealing.
"I'm elated. It has been hard work, but clearly all the people on the ground were making their best effort tonight and it was a solid, total execution," Parks said. "It's a wonderful, wonderful night. We have a new direction for East St. Louis."
And in Fairview Heights, with all 22 precincts counted, Mayor Gail Mitchell lost by seven votes to former St. Clair County Board Chairman Vic Canty.
A benefit is set for tomorrow night in East St. Louis to raise money to cover the funeral expenses of a mother and four children killed during a fire in their Cahokia home last Friday. Services will be Saturday for 32-year-old Yuasheika Douglas, her daughters -- eleven-year-old Tamadja Morgan and ten-year-old Taikia Morgan -- and her nine-year-old son, Tyrique Morgan.

Donations also can be made to the Douglas Family Memorial fund at any Regions Bank.
A spokeswoman for the Illinois fire marshal's office says a cause of the fire has not yet been pinpointed, but it's not considered suspicious.
Services for the family will be at noon at New Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Centreville.

Investigators from the Illinois fire marshal's office have yet to pinpoint a cause of the fire that killed a mother and her three children last week, a spokeswoman said Monday.Investigators are continuing to look for clues at the scene, said Patti Thompson, communication manager with the state agency. The State Fire Marshal is investigating whether an electrical short possibly in the family's kitchen or laundry room may have ignited the fire...
A consumer web site featuring profiles and statistics on communities throughout the nation, ranked the city ninth in a top ten 2007 poll of best places to live in the country. Asheville, N.C., Traverse City, Mich. and Utica, N.Y. ranked first, second and third. Other cities on the list were Chicago, Portland, Maine, San Francisco, Stevens Point, Wis. and Spencer, Ia. Rapidly growing O’Fallon has again found itself in the national spotlight as a great place to call home.

OH SHIT!!!
LOCAL/REGIONAL Missouri State University locks down a campus building after a professor received a threatening e-mail from a student. No weapons or explosives were found and authorities reopened the building less than an hour later.
Springfield police said 30-year-old Christopher Suttles was arrested on suspicion of making a terroristic threat. A language professor who received the e-mail alerted university security and Springfield police. Craig Hall -- home to the College of Arts and Letters -- was locked down for about 45 minutes while police and campus security searched for possible explosives or other threats. Nothing was found and classes resumed.
Missouri State President Michael Nietzel said the threat was a possible ripple effect of this week's shooting massacre at Virginia Tech.
HERE WE GO.
Missouri native Sheryl Crow, is riding aboard a bus that uses biodiesel fuel, on an 11-stop college tour to raise awareness about global warming. Accompanying the Grammy-winning singer is Laurie David, who produced the film on climate change, "An Inconvenient Truth," which won the Oscar for best documentary earlier this year.
Isnt it ironic that none of the schools in the Missouri area was chosen for this tour?
AND NOW ONTO MY TRAVELS
On Friday I checked out the A-List Party at Drunken Fish. I was invited by local model (and Testosocuture finalist) Carlos Mcclaurin. I called dup my newest buddy 100 Collegiate Black men president at Harris Stowe Renaud Lucas to see if he wanted to tag along. He met me up there and we networked throughout the set. It was a mixed crowd. It was giving you NYC for real. I really enjoyed going there instead of debating on whether to check out the Tank concert that wassat Club Society (which I heard was nice).
On Saturday, I had my last photo shoot for my fashion show at my office at the Water Geyser. It turned out well and even got a wardrobe assistant out of the game, Renuad Lucas’ brother Darrius Chapman. Later on that day, I checked out my email at Impact gaming Center in OFallon and ran up on an email from Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency model Marcus Foy (PICTURED ABOVE) who wanted to more info about my show! He left me his contact info and since then I have made a connection with Foy and his Louisiana accent is a hearing in itself! (and he is very down to earth). He has given me some contacts and hopefully I can fly him in to the Lou (As a matter of fact his mother lives in St. Louis).
Later on, I was going to see if I wanted to risk my life and go to club Society to check out Kyjuan’s B-day party at Club Society. I’m glad I didn’t cause I hear that over 2,000 people were trying to crowd up in the two story club. And that is bananas! I Up in there was Nelly, and Lil Wayne (who performed, but the rest of the guests (Rich Boy, Jim Jones, etc.) couldn’t even get in and I heard they went to the east Side to wreck havoc over at Blackmon’s Plaza and the club over there had to close early (which was about 3 in the morning and it closes at 6 ) . that wa too much playin. The rappers were in town for a concert up at Scott Trade center.
On Sunday I had another meeting on my fashion show Testsocouture with Mocha Latte and Big Tah. The idea is to combine our ideas for a fashion show and a serenade to women for Mothers Day. We are getting it together and now scrambling for sponsors for our idea. The revamped title of our show is now, “A WOMANS”WORTH: FASHION, MUSIC AND TREATS. "
On Monday, I drove to I AM Boutique t pick up my two comps to STl Native and former Majic 104.9 personality Guy Torry's; Private event JACK AND JOKES at the Loft. I chatted with the managers for a minute and hauled doff to the gym (Thanks Walk for spotting the toothpaste stain on my bottom lip. LOL) -IAM
On Tues, I checked out the motivational film, “The Secret’ at Emerson Theater at Harris Stowe U. It was put on by the 100 Collegiate black Men organization9I saw you Coco tipping out during the panel discussion. LOL) . It was very inspirational mostly talking on the laws of attraction, visualization and spirituality. Afterwards, they had a panel discussion with local experts relationship doctor Leticia Buckner, peer mentor Darrius Chapman (and a snazzy dresser I must say), chiropractor Dr Jennifer MccCleary and Minister (and comedian) Mutwasze. I definitely recommend checking this film out if you need some inspiration about your dreams and your being. Just go to the www.secrettv.com
On Wednesday I did triple duty. First, I rolled over to local actor/director Joel P.E. King’s grand opening of his new art gallery The Space on 322 Vandeventer. They had a meet and greet up in there. Some of the supporters were Kathi Bentley, Kevin Johnson and actress Cody Aaron. Soon after they had performed an act of JPEK’s season opener Me Don and the Psychiatrist with LA. Williams and King (SEEN ABOVE ) . I stayed right after the first act was over and drove over to the County for Midwest Spa and salon’s Wine Down Wednesdays.
So I got to Wine Down and it reminded me of a VFW East Boogie kind of feel with black folks gettin together and networking. It kind of reminded me of First Fridays to be like—networking and getting to know people on a business level. What was also off the chain was the catered food (pork sirloin, the shrimp plate and strawberry and cream set up) and free alcohol. You hear me? FREE. From A to Z. I am definitely going to the next one next month.
It was going on 11 or so and I drove back near downtown to check out the tail end of Mocha Latte's popular Got Lyrics event (What was up with the vibrator story Mo? LOL) . I missed featured poet Robert Dillard, buy they had a few poets that were good especially this new poet named Michele who had a poem about Dead Beat Mothers (You had to be there to hear that one!).
After about an hour or so, I said byes and headed to work at the Water Geyser.
