On Monday. St. Charles County Prosecutor Jack Banas addressed the media in St. Charles and the media around the world when he announced there will be no charges filed in the MySpace suicide case of Megan Meier because teher was no law to prosecute. The parents of 13-year-old Megan Meier have expressed anger at the news that the adult whom they claim bullied their daughter into suicide in her bedroom was not prosecuted. The parents. Tina and Ron Meier were on the Today Show Monday (and other national morning talk shows) felt that her daughter’s death which took place this time last year should have been punished. They also who believe their daughter's October 2006 suicide was the result of a cruel cyber hoax are pushing for measures to protect other children online. The mother of a former friend (an 18-year-old employee) of Megan's allegedly created a fictitious profile under the name JOSH in order to gain Megan's trust and learn what Megan was saying about her daughter. But the communication eventually turned hostile. This case has definitely hype dup the term ‘cyberstalking’ to another level. It is definitely a tragedy.
Former Cards manager Whitey Herzog fell one vote short of election to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Monday but another former St. Louis Cardinals manager. Billy Southworth was chosen by the revamped Veterans Committee. Herzog managed the Cardinals to a seven-game World Series victory over the Brewers in 1982 and won NL pennants in 1985 and ’87. He also managed the Kansas City Royals to three consecutive American League West titles from 1976-78. Herzog and former umpire Doug Harvey each received 11 votes one short of the 75 percent required for election. The committee voting on former managers and umpires included Cardinals Hall of Famer Bob Gibson and Cubs Hall of Famers Ferguson Jenkins and Billy Williams. It has been speculated that Herzog will be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009. ..................... Looks like the Ballpark Village project in the STL has pulled a snag in the next phases of teh multimillion dollar project it has been reported that the project is going through tennant problems (which bizness will move into the complex) . One particular tennant the Centene Arts is working with St. Louis city officials to deliver a crucial piece of financing to make Centene's new downtown headquarters at Ballpark Village a reality -- $100 million in New Markets Tax Credits. Meanwhile one the phased projects the Lumeiere Place project in less than a month. St. Louis will see the end of a journey that started nearly four years ago when Pinnacle Entertainment snagged the rights to build a downtown casino. The $507 million project — or parts of it at least — will open Dec. 19. The STL is slowly becoming the Little Las Vegas (which the area was dubbed just like in its heyday in the 40s and 50)with the Casino Queen on the East and the Presdient Casinio in the STL downtown area............................... Jurors found Metro had breached its contracts with the joint venture consisting of Parsons Brinckerhoff. STV Inc.. Jacobs Engineering Group Inc and Kwame Building Group (called Cross Country Colloborative) this week. Kwame Building Group rep Tony Thompson reportedly said that justice had prevailed. The jury ordered Metro to actually pay the collaborative $2.56 million but the payments may not stop there. The group intends to recoup its legal fees which could be several million more. On Friday. Metro lost its lawsuit against CCC Metro sought more than $80 million in damages from the group known as the Cross Country Collaborative claiming breach of contract and fraud. Instead the jury awarded approximately $2.5 million to the CCC which filed a countersuit against Metro. The lawsuit centered on the fifteen-month delay and cost overruns for the MetroLink extension project which runs from Forest Park to Shrewsbury. More than three years after Metro filed the lawsuit the jury found in favor of the CCC. It was the longest civil trial in St. Louis County history with legal costs reported at approximately $25 million. I guess Thompson can thank Gillette for the good luck (In case you didnt know he had a Gillete ad in ths month's

NIGHTS ON THE TOWNThis weekend Yours Truly laid low and dint do much as far as pictures but that didn’t mean I didn’t hear what was going on or I was sitting idle twiddling my thumbs looking at the wall. Last Friday. I checked out Stress Free Fridays at the new establishments Knockouts Bar and Grill located on New Halls Ferry where the former Dime Slot was located. It was a packed house and some of the STl movers and shakers came through like Freeman Bosley Jr. Jim Buford Jr.,and Fox 2's Rob Desir. Knockouts owner boxing trainer Kevin Cunningham was MIA out of town but UI hear that he told the creators of Stress Free that the bill was on him when it came to whatever they wanted as far as the drinks (but I do hear that the workers had a slight problem with the communication on this matter but all was well). If you haven’t been to the spot you must see it. It’s a plethora of plasma screens in the bar and grill area. And theirs a pool /game area in the back where people can get their gaming on. Oh and Stress Free's Mario Wayne gets the TMP (TOO MUCH PLAYIN) Award for givin most of the crowd "the tongue inside a V sign"" using his tongue and a peace sign! LOLLast Saturday there werre several events goin on including the Platinum Group’s annual Platinum Christmas Party that was held this year at Broadway in Baden.

Music. Poetry and Jazz. Hosted by Ron Young and performance by special guest J. R at Cookies. Jazz and More and Precision had its monthly event at AJ’s but I spent my Saturday checking out the Mizzou game at a local newscaster’s crib (or shall I say SHOWPLACE) in Webster Groves with some buddies. We kicked it watching the game on a 100 sq ft theater screen located at the newscaster’s basement that looked like a mini bar and club down there. We threw down on drinks (and those chicken wanngs fell off the bonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne) Although Mizzou lost (and the newscaster is a alum of the school) we still had a good time. We also saw a DVD of the classic Richard Pryor Show that bought back nostalgia of how great and before his time Richard Pryor was back in the 70s.
