Hello OUTTOWNERS
Its Wednesday
Time to get OUT…TOWN!
As we gear up for the third and final debate of Obama, and McCain, locally(and according to the latest polls Obama and McCain still running about even in Missouri according to The CNN/Time/Opinion Research poll of 763 likely Missouri voters had McCain at 49 percent and Obama at 48 percent)
the latest big newz story that just broke yesterday was the
federal indictment that accuses 14 people of operating a criminal enterprise in North St. Louis that illegally funneled money to the Palestinian territories.Although the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force was one of the agencies on the case, officials would not comment on whether they think terrorism was involved in the crime. After a three-year investigation, federal agents and local police served search warrants Tuesday morning and arrested nine men on charges including racketeering conspiracy, bank fraud, conspiracy to receive stolen goods and transporting money to avoid reporting requirements. Hanaway called the raids "a massive show of force."
According to the indictment, Bassam Hamed's brothers Ghandi H. "Andy" Hamed, 30, and Ayoub H. "Frank" Hamed, 27, were also involved in the conspiracy, as was Said Jarabaa, 35. All live in Florissant except Ayoub Hamed, who lives in Hazelwood.
Officials said two suspects are at large in the U.S., two at large overseas and one has agreed to surrender.
Also charged in the indictment Tuesday were Florissant residents Suhail Jarabaa, 28, Mohammed Badwan, 33, Mazen Badwan, 36, Abdelkarim Badwan, 58, Nael Abdeljabbar, 48, and Nayef Lutfeyyah, 66; Hazelwood resident Mahmoud Ghannam, 46; St. Louis residents Mahir Mohammad, 44, and Shahrazad Ramadan, 55; and Rayqa Jarabaa, 58, of the Middle East.
Officials said two suspects are at large in the U.S., two at large overseas and one has agreed to surrender..The indictment says that as far back as 2000, the men were using St. Louis area convenience stores as headquarters of the criminal enterprise, selling contraband or stolen cigarettes, liquor, infant formula, computers and GPS units.Leaders of the conspiracy lied on bank and mortgage loan forms and fraudulently sold the stores and other property to other members of the conspiracy so that they could siphon money off the loans, the indictment claims.The gang got the money to Israel, Palestine or Jordan with couriers who secretly carried cash, jewelry, cashiers checks and business checks, the indictment says.Officials said that some of the alleged conspirators are U.S. citizens and the others were here legally. Hanaway estimated that $250,000 may have been sent overseas out of possibly as much as $1.5 million in criminal earnings.The stores raided Tuesday were:— Ferguson Market, 9101 West Florissant Road in Ferguson.— Regal Food I, 4201 McCree Avenue, St. Louis.— Regal Food II, 3852 Virginia Avenue, St. Louis.— Prince Market, 9826 St. Charles Rock Road, St. Ann.— St. Louis Supermarket, 4331 Natural Bridge Avenue, St. Louis.
Wow, this is uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly. But hey, using stores as fronts for illegal activity has been goin on since the days of Al Capone. Ya feel me?

OK back to the newz.
Before we hit the e-waves, there was a manhunt going on that led to capture. Police in O'Fallon, Missouri caught Marcus Powell and is currently in custody. He was found in the Runny Meade Estates neighborhood.Powell, 27, was been charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder for the shooting death of Delarrian Davis, 12, last Monday in Madison, Illinois. Powell was also accused of shooting the boy's mother, Sophia Leonard, 12 times in April 2007, which is why he is charged with attempted murder. Leonard survived the shooting.Prior to the capture, a manhunt was underway last Thursday, in O'Fallon, Mo., for Powell. Police cordoned off an area near Highway K and Interstate 70 in St. Charles County in their search for Powell, 27. To protect schoolchildren, officials shut down four schools in the Fort Zumwalt School District that were nearby. Powell was wanted for questioning in the death of Davis an apparent innocent victim of a drive-by shooting. Police say Powell was spotted driving an SUV on Interstate 70. As police tried to stop his vehicle, he lost control of the SUV. He jumped out and ran away. Authorities quickly set up a perimeter -- roughly bounded by Highway K, Bryan Road, Mexico Road and Interstate 70. By 7 a.m., officers were stopping cars as far south as Feise Road.By the time the morning rush hour was in full swing, long lines of traffic clogged both directions along Bryan and Mexico roads.
SAD indeed and Powell should fry!
A picture of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama on a character education poster at UMSL was put back up this week.
Provost Glen Cope sent his class an this week apologizing for the picture’s removal, which was apparently done without a full understanding of how the picture was being used.
The picture was taken down last week after the university received a complaint about it. The poster was one of several made for a class project and that continues to hang in a classroom. Cope ordered Obama’s picture to be removed from the poster because of a university policy that prohibits the use of university resources or facilities to endorse for or against political candidates.
But the students in the class complained about the picture’s removal, arguing that it was not a political poster. Rather, they noted that Obama was being used as one of a couple of examples (Gandhi being another notable one) of good role models and leaders. The poster also includes a quote from Obama about the Civil Rights Movement.
Art Leverenz, an UMSL junior, said it was one of about six posters made for his introduction to teaching class. The project was to make character education posters geared toward a middle school audience. He said his group included Obama on the poster as an example of a good role model and a leader.
Now whats really going on? We wonder of the same procedure would have happened if John mccain’s picture wa son the poster. We are just sayin.
And speaking of political pictures and posters, what is this about some burnings of political posters of both Obama and Mccain in St. Peters, Mo.?
President George W. Bush made a short stop earlier this month in St. Louis County on Friday to help raise $1.5 million for fellow Republican Kenny Hulshof, one of several signs that the national GOP is paying closer attention to the state. The Hulshof campaign requested $2,000 donations to his campaign for governor to attend a cocktail hour and dinner on the pavilion of Hunter Farms in St. Louis. For a requested $25,000 per couple, attendees can get a private reception with the president and Hulshof, including a photo with Bush.
Oooooh, a photo that you can treasure…I wonder if they served (lame) duck? LOL
And speaking of Hulsof, On Saturday, October 18th, 2008, FOX 2 in St. Louis and FOX 4 in Kansas City will co-host a Missouri Gubernatorial Debate. The debate will be held in St. Louis from 6 -7 pm, in the KTVI FOX 2 Studios. Kenny Hulsof and Jay Nixon will face a panel of four journalists, including WDAF's John Holt and Shelli Lockhart, along with KTVI's Betsy Bruce and Elliott Davis. KTVI's Charles Jaco will moderate the debate. The debate will be simulcast on both stations and can be heard on KTRS 550 AM radio in St. Louis.
Last week, he and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Atty. Jay Nixon took part in a one-hour debate that was broadcast locally on KRCU 90.9 FM, the public radio station operating on the Southeast Missouri State University campus in Kansas City . from reports, the two candidates squared off during a lively debate at a public radio station here, sparring over health care, jobs, taxes and school vouchers. While the debate was civil, it featured the most sharply worded exchanges in the race so far.

There may be doubt that can be proved in the MySpace hpax that may exonerate Lori Drew and the death of teen Meagen Meier. It has been speculated that Meier who committed suicide after an Internet hoax was not the only girl exchanging messages with a fake MySpace address allegedly operated by Drew.
There may be doubt that can be proved in the MySpace hpax that may exonerate Lori Drew and the death of teen Meagen Meier. It has been speculated that Meier who committed suicide after an Internet hoax was not the only girl exchanging messages with a fake MySpace address allegedly operated by Drew.
Attorney Dean Steward filed a request in federal court for the phone records of a second teenage girl identified by the initials "S.D."
His client, Lori Drew, of O'Fallon, Mo., is accused of helping to create a false-identity account on the social networking site, posing as a teenage boy and befriending her 13-year-old neighbor, Megan Meier.
Prosecutors say Megan hanged herself in 2006 after receiving messages from Drew on the fake account saying the world would be better off without her. Megan was being treated for attention deficit disorder and depression.
In his motion, Steward seeks the phone records to prove that prosecutors mistakenly linked Megan to a message that S.D. actually sent to the fake account.
Prosecutors have said the message — listed in the Drew indictment as "Overt Act 9" — was sent by Megan because she was induced by Drew to flirt with the fictitious boy.
Steward criticized the government for poor research and said S.D.'s e-mail address was on the message. Steward quoted the message as saying: "Heyy babe!!! Call me sometime (phone number) It's the cell. I love you so much."
The lawyer said S.D. was "a juvenile that was part of a group of teenagers who were texting and e-mailing each other. There were a couple of boys involved."
He said in his court filing that he had contacted S.D.'s relatives, who confirmed her cell phone number.
He said in his court filing that he had contacted S.D.'s relatives, who confirmed her cell phone number.
The case, which is being prosecuted in Los Angeles because MySpace's servers are based in the area, is scheduled for trial Nov. 18. A motion to dismiss charges is pending.
And speaking of trials and motions,A St. Clair County judge has denied a Tiffany Hall’s woman's request to withdraw her guilty plea in the death of her pregnant friend, the unborn child and the victim's three children.
Judge Milton Wharton ruled last Friday that 26-year-old Hall didn't file the motion to withdraw her plea within 30 days as required by law.
Hall pleaded guilty in June to four counts of first-degree murder and one of intentional homicide for the death of Jimella Tunstall's 7-month-old fetus. In exchange for Hall's plea, prosecutors agreed to no longer pursue the death penalty. Hall is sentenced to life in prison without parole.
In a motion filed Sept. 19, Hall claimed that she was coerced into pleading guilty because she was threatened by other inmates and denied protective custody.

Anheuser Bush and Inbev made news this week. First, When Belgian brewer InBev prepares completes its takeover of Anheuser-Busch Companies later this year, August A. Busch IV will be replaced as president of Anheuser-Busch by David A. Peacock, now vice president of marketing at the St. Louis-based brewer once the merger is completed, expected by the end of this year.
Busch, the great-great grandson of the founder of Anheuser-Busch, had initially opposed the merger this spring, but endorsed it in July when InBev increased its offer to $70 per share of Anheuser-Busch stock and offered him a seat on the merged companies' board of directors. He currently is president and chief executive officer of Anheuser-Busch, which owns Orlando-based Busch Entertainment Corp. and its 10 theme parks, including SeaWorld Orlando. Peacock, 39, is a St. Louis native who's worked for Anheuser-Busch since 1992.
Then later this week,. InBev said it will postpone its previously announced rights issue but reaffirmed that it will complete the acquisition of Anheuser-Busch (by the end of 2008. They reported As a consequence of unprecedented volatility in the global capital markets, the group has postponed the rights issue "until market conditions stabilize". The Board of Directors will continue to monitor market conditions to determine the appropriate time to launch the rights offering, the group said in a statement.

Rams won 1st game of the 2008 season in Maryland.. . Rams 19, Redskins 17
In a dramatic end, Kicker Josh Brown drilled a 49-yard field goal as time expired to give St. Louis its first win with a triumph over Washington. The Rams drove 45 yards on nine plays over the last 3:40 to position Brown, who also kicked field goals of 51, 25 and 44 yards.
Rookie wide receiver Donnie Avery caught two passes from quarterback Marc Bulger on the winning drive, including a 43-yarder on third and 13 to put the Rams in scoring position.
Avery, who also had a 12-yard grab on third and two to keep the drive alive, finished with four receptions for 73 yards. The Rams (1-4) were pushed back 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, but despite the added distance, Brown's kick sailed perfectly through the uprights, giving Jim Haslett a win in his first game as St. Louis' head coach. He took over for Scott Linehan, who was fired Sept. 29 before the team's bye week.
Hmm, no Torry Holt or Steven Jackson gladiator moves. Well, lets see if the Rams can make 2 wins win they play the Cowboys home at the Dome.

Cardinals first baseman and MVP candidate Albert Pujols had surgery on his troublesome right elbow Monday, the team announced late this afternoon. Pujols had surgery to decompress and relocate the ulnar nerve in his right elbow, a joint that has given him problems since he strained a ligament there early in 2003.
The surgery "did not require reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament," the release from the club states, underlining the words "did not".
The release states Pujols will begin his rehab this week and "make his recovery" by spring training.

The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District last week called on the federal government to rapidly step in to help area property owners with damage from flooding last month. MSD said only the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or FEMA) has the resources to assist those seeking financial relief after the remnants of Hurricane Ike swept through the St. Louis area on Sept. 14.
The storm dumped as much as 6 inches of rain in a short time; hit hard were west and north St. Louis County and St. Louis.Water backed up into thousands of homes from overwhelmed sewer lines. MSD has an insurance program that will cover up to $2,500 in damages in many of those cases. But many people have damage that will cost more than that to repair.
On Monday, Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt sent a letter requesting a declaration of disaster to President George W. Bush via FEMA's regional office in Kansas City. FEMA spokesman Don Bolger said the agency needs that declaration before it can help, but said there is no timeline for when or if the president would grant the declaration.
OK, didnt FEMA see the news and the floods? What did they think that the problem was going to disappear? And why did Blunt wait to send a letter this week about the disaster? Couldnt he have done what New Orleans Mayor Ray Naegen and said GET YOUR ARSES HERE?

In unrelated news, Gov. Matt Blunt has agreed to provide old e-mails at no cost to several media outlets that sued his administration. Under a settlement announced Wednesday in Cole County Circuit Court, Blunt's administration is to provide free copies of records from the state's backup e-mail system to satisfy several Sunshine Law requests. The Associated Press, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and The Kansas City Star had intervened in a lawsuit against Blunt brought by a pair of court-appointed attorneys looking into the e-mail retention practices in the governor's office. The settlement applies only to the media requests. Blunt's office originally sought to charge the AP more than $23,000 to retrieve and review the e-mail files, plus additional copying charges.
Brothers John and Mark Rodgers plan to erect a 175-foot tall Ferris wheel amid the 19th-century warehouses on Laclede's Landing just south of the Martin Luther King Bridge.
Technically speaking, the brothers prefer to call it an "observation wheel" or, better yet, a "sky wheel." In other words, it wouldn't be your typical carnival-ride amusement. Passengers would ride for about 12 to 15 minutes in 42 gondolas, each with seating for six and outfitted with a video screen. From inside the heated and air-conditioned chambers, riders would enjoy sweeping views of downtown and deep into the Metro East.And the wheel itself — brightly illuminated at night in multicolored, LED lighting — would drastically alter the city's skyline.
The Rodgers are still putting together financing for the project, but they say the credit crisis won't torpedo the Ferris wheel as the housing bust killed Port St. Louis. They also have the support of some key city leaders.None of this was part of the Rodgers' original plan. The brothers, 56, graduates of CBC and St. Louis University, made a name for themselves building and renovating houses, most of them in west St. Louis County, Clayton and University City.
Their company, Rodgers Group, based in Clayton, developed Shaw Park Villas, a 12-unit luxury condominium project in Clayton. In 2005, when they announced plans for Port St. Louis, city boosters and officials praised the 10-story development as the first new, residential high-rise downtown since the Mansion House opened in 1966. Although there was a lot of early interest from buyers, it fizzled after the real estate market went south.

And speaking of schools, district officials are still trying to find out who intentionally started a fire last Friday at Beaumont High School last week that forced 700 students to evacuate.

St. Louis Public School District spokesperson Patrick Wallace said students returned to class at 10:30 a.m., but the third floor will be closed for the rest of the day for cleaning.

The episode is titled “Turbulence,” and promos for the episode featured Nelly’s song “Warrior. “CSI: NY” airs on CBS at 9 p.m. Wednesdays. Viewing parties began last Wednesday at the Skybox , (but with the Obama/Mccain debates, Nelly’s air time may get bumped or overlooked) In regards to Nelly’s performance, TV writer Nancy Gail wrote, “I realize Nelly is a singer, not an actor. He's smart enough to run his club, though; why would he try and outsmart two cops? They weren't dressed like his regular clientele. While the badge was not prominently flashed, Flack is tall enough to pull his jacket back to reveal ID at waist level. Anyone sitting could see it easily.
Nelly did better when he and Flack were alone in the interrogation room.”

About 30 people lost their jobs Friday between KTVI-TV (Channel 2) and KPLR-TV (Channel 11) as the stations combine newsrooms and share services this week. Spencer Koch, GM of KTVI, (PICTURED) said last Friday that once the dust settles, he will be in charge of both stations. Koch was at KPLR's offices near Page Avenue and Lindbergh, where he said he was trying to help the human relations department handle the firings. Bill Lanesey, who was VP and GM of KPLR until about a week ago, has been named GM of the FOX affiliate in Cincinnati, Koch added.
Koch declined to say whether any more on-air personalities were let go. He said that Audrey Prywitch, who heads the news at KTVI, will take over that responsibility at both stations. Sheldon Ripson, who was the news director at KPLR, was fired. Koch also confirmed that headquarters for the combined stations will be at the KPLR studios, and that KTVI will vacate its offices on Berthold Avenue in St. Louis despite Mayor Francis Slay's efforts to keep them there.
But this week, the public wanted to know who got fired. Much to Koch; schargrin he disclosed the info. KPLR-TV reporters Theresa Petry and Gabrielle Biondo are among the on-air personalities who were fired as Channel 11 and KTVI-TV (Channel 2) combine newsrooms and pare their staffs. Spencer Koch, GM of KTVI, is implementing the changes.
When Koch was told Tuesday that the public wanted to know who was gone, he snapped that if the public was really concerned, people would have watched the station and ratings would have been higher. Koch said Petry, Biondo, Rick Edlund and Keryn Shipman are the only on-air talents who have lost their jobs so far. Petry has been with the station since 2002; Biondo, a St. Louis native, joined in 2006.
OUCH!
And speaking of Tv changes at KPLR, STL-TV's popular "The Best of the STL" can also be seen on Saturdays at 11 p.m. on CW 11.

SENORA SPEAKS
No pic this week(She doesnt like the one we posted. LOL) but we got her speaking:
To My Urban Professionals out there…. Looking to network, and advance professionally? Do you want advice on how to become an Entrepreneur? Well I challenge you to open your minds and take advantage of what some St. Louis network groups have to offer.
The Professional Organization of Women (P.O.W), hosted it’s 11th annual Professional Forum last week which included a Panel Discussion & Silent Service Auction. Attendees (men & women) had a chance gain professional advice and hear ‘best practices’ from The Best.
The topic, “Pathways to Professional & Personal Success” featured panelists Ron Himes (Founder & Producer –The Black Rep), Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Melba Moore (Health Commisioner – City of St. Louis), Jan Torrisi-Mokwa (Principal – Congruence, Inc), Howard Denson (CEO & Publisher – St. Louis Black Pages) and Valerie Patton, (Executive Director, St. Louis Business Diversity Initiative)
Attendees were positively influenced on ‘Work/Life Balance’ and were also given “how to’s” on being professionally and personally organized. Panelists touched on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and dismissing bad habits which hinder us from growing personally and in our careers.
The ‘Silent Service Auction” allowed individuals to “bid” on services and consulting sessions with local area professionals.
For more information about P.O.W., please visit www.powinc.org

To My Urban Professionals out there…. Looking to network, and advance professionally? Do you want advice on how to become an Entrepreneur? Well I challenge you to open your minds and take advantage of what some St. Louis network groups have to offer.
The Professional Organization of Women (P.O.W), hosted it’s 11th annual Professional Forum last week which included a Panel Discussion & Silent Service Auction. Attendees (men & women) had a chance gain professional advice and hear ‘best practices’ from The Best.
The topic, “Pathways to Professional & Personal Success” featured panelists Ron Himes (Founder & Producer –The Black Rep), Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Melba Moore (Health Commisioner – City of St. Louis), Jan Torrisi-Mokwa (Principal – Congruence, Inc), Howard Denson (CEO & Publisher – St. Louis Black Pages) and Valerie Patton, (Executive Director, St. Louis Business Diversity Initiative)
Attendees were positively influenced on ‘Work/Life Balance’ and were also given “how to’s” on being professionally and personally organized. Panelists touched on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and dismissing bad habits which hinder us from growing personally and in our careers.
The ‘Silent Service Auction” allowed individuals to “bid” on services and consulting sessions with local area professionals.

CABARET ST. LOUIS
Cabaret St. Louis is coming in October. The inaugural Cabaret St. Louis fall lineup will include Fran Landesman, Steve Ross, Sylvia McNair, Lee Lessack and Tony Sandler. Performances will be held at The Sheldon, Kranzberg Arts Center, The Gaslight Theatre plus additional venues. All shows begin at 8 p.m. Tickets on sale at all MetroTix locations.
FRAN LANDESMAN returns to her roots October 22-25 at The Gaslight Theatre. The legendary proprietess of Gaslight Square’s Crystal Palace presented such artists as Barbra Streisand, The Smothers Brothers and Elaine May. But outside of St. Louis, Ms. Landesman is most well known for her own songs and shows. Spring Can Hang You Up The Most and The Ballad Of The Sad Young Man became standards and were recorded by Elle Fitzgerald, Barbra Streisand and Sarah Vaughn. Fifty years later, accompanied by her son Myles, and around the corner from the old Crystal Palace, this top songwriter and cultural icon will treat St. Louis to an evening of storytelling and song. Tickets for Fran Landesman are $35.
The smartest of the smart set and St. Louis favorite, STEVE ROSS, returns with his latest work, “To Wit: Ross on Wry – Funny Songs Throughout The Ages,” October 1-4 at the new Kranzberg Arts Center in Grand Center. Ross is no stranger to St. Louis, as he has performed many times at The Grand Center Cabaret, Cabaret in The Savoy Room and St. Louis Muny. After Ross’s 2004 St. Louis appearance, Chuck Lavazzi of KDHX Radio wrote, “The fact is, Mr. Ross has a breezy elegance on stage that’s reminiscent of Fred Astaire, Noel Coward, Cole Porter and, above all, the late and much lamented Bobby Short.” Tickets for Steve Ross are $40.
Cabaret at The Sheldon will host Grammy Winner SYLVIA MCNAIR October 16-17 for two performances only. A beloved performer at Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Ms. McNair has segued from opera to the Great American Songbook, the music with which she feels most at home. Now, instead of singing V'adoro pupille on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera, she's singing Embraceable You to rave reviews. Of McNair's Algonquin Oak Room debut, Rex Reed wrote, "Her phrasing is exemplary. Her modulations are inspired. I could get used to this kind of ecstasy." Tickets for Sylvia McNair are $45.
LEE LESSACK’S lyric baritone vocals and sophisticated yet endearing persona have made him a shining star of the international cabaret scene. His tribute to Johnny Mercer, “Too Marvelous For Words,” runs October 29-November 1 at the Kranzberg Arts Center. As we celebrate the centennial of Mercer, Lessack is the perfect match for this romantic of songwriters. Billboard Magazine calls his singing, "Cabaret romanticism of a high order." Tickets for Lee Lessack are $30.
TONY SANDLER finishes the CSTL Fall season November 13-14 at The Sheldon with “Chevalier-Maurice & Me.” This show is neither caricature nor impersonation, but a heartfelt homage to this widely-admired entertainer. It has been the subject of a PBS special and DVD, and contains the charm and savoir faire that Maurice himself brought to film and stage. Tickets for Tony Sandler are $40.Tickets for all five Cabaret St. Louis performances go on sale Tuesday, September 2 at 10 a.m. at all MetroTix locations. To charge by phone call 314-534-1111 or online at http://www.metrotix.com/. Memberships available by calling 314-726-1616.
