AND the HORN WILL BLOW ON! WINNINGS to CITY of HOPE to CALENDAR Pg Congratulations Triple Crown Jockey Victor Espinoza of Sierra Madre! VOLUME 9 NO. 24 SIERRA MADRE POLICE SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 2015 APPREHEND WANTED SEXUAL THE TOWN COMES OUT TO BALANCE THE BUDGET PREDATOR Sierra Madre police arrested a man Wednesday morning wanted in Pasadena for sexual battery after a number of residents recognized his picture from news reports that day. Emilio Buch, a known homeless man, was walking down Sierra Madre Boulevard around 8:20 a.m. when Police Sergeant Kenneth Berry said he was flagged down by a resident who saw Buch near Baldwin Avenue. According to reports, Berry also said he had gotten a call from another resident who saw a man matching Buch’s description. Buch was arrested, sitting on a bench, without incident. Pasadena Police say Buch was wanted in connection with an alleged sexual battery on June 6. Police said a homeless woman woke up partially unclothed around 2:50 a.m. She was startled to find Buch asleep behind her with his hand on her inner thigh. Buch fled and was chased by the woman’s boyfriend although he got away. He is being held in Pasadena jail on $100,000 bail.

    Bingham, Mark (1970-2001) by Ruth M. Pettis Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2006 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Mark Bingham, San Francisco businessman and rugby enthusiast, is believed to have participated in the attempt to retake control of United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. While details of that event can never be known for certain, e-mail records and personal testimonies provide a substantial account of Bingham's life and character and they corroborate the likelihood of his heroism. He was born Gerald Kendall Bingham in Phoenix, Arizona on May 22, 1970. His parents separated shortly afterward and his mother, Alice Hoglan, struggled to support the two of them. After eight years in Miami, they arrived in northern California with little money. At one point they lived out of Hoglan's car. During these times of adversity, mother and son developed a close bond. When he was ten, she let him rename himself. He chose to be Mark. By the time Mark started middle school, he and his mother had settled into a cabin near Los Gatos, California. Eventually, Hoglan landed a career as a flight attendant. In his early teens Mark was more interested in Dungeons and Dragons than sports, but in high school he blossomed into physical and social confidence when he went out for rugby. With growing self-assurance, Bingham entered the University of California, Berkeley in 1989 as a psychology major. He was elected president of his Chi Psi fraternity chapter. He became an exuberant partygoer, fond of college pranks, pickup basketball, social drinking, and camaraderie.

So Henry, why don’t you take us forward a little bit? Chris 'Henri' Henrikson So we've recently seen the suspension of Bernie Sanders came in for President, as well as yesterday, when it was announced that Bernie had in fact endorsed Joe Biden for President. Bob, what is stuck out about you, excuse me stuck out to you about Sanders campaign. What do you think should be the next move of people who support him? And lastly, deep what path Do you see to a viable third party in the US political system? Robert "Bob" Scheer You know, I I'm very disappointed in what Sanders did because he didn't even wait to see what the platform would be. He didn't even wait to see who the vice presidential pick would be. And he knows of Biden's role in creating the the tragic domestic forget about foreign policy because he's got a lot of problems there. But but the whole banking meltdown, the whole foreclosure crisis, the Great Recession, Biden's fingerprints are all over. And, and he's not alone. Obviously, Bill Clinton, and then brock obama's bailout made the banks whole and didn't even do what Trump is doing now, which is increase unemployment insurance.

  • The Spectral Voice and 9/11
    SILENCIO: THE SPECTRAL VOICE AND 9/11 Lloyd Isaac Vayo A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Eileen C. Cherry Chandler Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Don McQuarie © 2010 Lloyd Isaac Vayo All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor “Silencio: The Spectral Voice and 9/11” intervenes in predominantly visual discourses of 9/11 to assert the essential nature of sound, particularly the recorded voices of the hijackers, to narratives of the event. The dissertation traces a personal journey through a selection of objects in an effort to seek a truth of the event. This truth challenges accepted narrativity, in which the U.S. is an innocent victim and the hijackers are pure evil, with extra-accepted narrativity, where the additional import of the hijacker’s voices expand and complicate existing accounts. In the first section, a trajectory is drawn from the visual to the aural, from the whole to the fragmentary, and from the professional to the amateur. The section starts with films focused on United Airlines Flight 93, The Flight That Fought Back, Flight 93, and United 93, continuing to a broader documentary about 9/11 and its context, National Geographic: Inside 9/11, and concluding with a look at two YouTube shorts portraying carjackings, “The Long Afternoon” and “Demon Ride.” Though the films and the documentary attempt to reattach the acousmatic hijacker voice to a visual referent as a means of stabilizing its meaning, that voice is not so easily fixed, and instead gains force with each iteration, exceeding the event and coming from the past to inhabit everyday scenarios like the carjackings.

  • The NFL, the Military, and the Hijacking of Pat Tillman
    The NFL, the Military, and the Hijacking of Pat Tillman’s Story Ryan Devereaux, September 28 2017, 6:31 a.m. h"ps://theintercept.com/2017/09/28/pat-8llman-nfl-protest-death-army-disgrace/ As part of his ongoing crusade targeting black athletes, President Donald Trump shared a tweet Monday morning from one of his supporters. It included an image of Pat Tillman, the former NFL safety-turned-U.S. Army Ranger who was killed in Afghanistan in the spring of 2004. “NFL player PatTillman joined U.S. Army in 2002. He was killed in action 2004. He fought 4 our country/freedom. #StandForOurAnthem #BoycottNFL,” wrote @jayMAGA45. The intent of the president’s retweet was clear: Trump was co-signing a suggestion that Tillman was a true patriot, unlike those who have chosen to kneel during the national anthem, and that those protests dishonor his legacy. It’s easy to understand why Tillman would make an attractive figure to Trump and his base. His Army photo reflects an image of a certain type of all-American hero: chiseled jaw, broad shoulders, white skin. But simply looking at Tillman’s photo and the superficial facts of his tale is to miss everything important about his life, his death, and what came after. Tillman’s is indeed an all-American story, it’s just not the kind that Trump and his supporters want it to be. Few episodes of the post-9/11 era have called down more disgrace upon the military than its handling of Tillman’s death and its treatment of his family in their search for answers.
