Liberal Radio Talk Show Host Thom Hartmann wants to outlaw billionaires and put a cap on income at $300K!
Advertisement-content continues below
OMG they get worse every day!!!! Get them fools the hell out of here if they so Hate this country so much. Go live in 3rd world countries and live like them. Lets see how long that will last. SHUT THE HELL UP YOU MORON
Just when you think a liberal has said the stupidest thing ever, another one opens his/ her piehole and proves you wrong. This loser KNOWS he'll never earn over 300k, so it's no skin off his back if someone who does has to pay all his bills.
So no more Hollywood and sports star big salaries. will they go for this?
who is this guy to tell me how much i can make with my successful long time capital and work investment.
PLEASE pursue this thought. You have 400+ billionaires in the US, while we in Canada have but a couple of dozen. Immediately upon legislation outlawing billionaires being passed, ALL 400+ will leave the US for more friendly jurisdictions, Canada being one of them. So if you want to truly cripple your country, go ahead! I can guarantee you that any and all of those 400 would be most welcome here.
I really have a hard time understanding how anyone can be so STUPID.
In 1904, Max Weber's essay, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, presented the a concept stating that the accumulation of wealth was the means by which Protestant Calvinists, especially of the Puritan New England colonies, could assure themselves that the favor of God was upon them and thus they were of the "elect" and assured of eternal life. While few in the marketplace of Capitalism today would actually understand this correlation between money and the spiritual realm, they have nonetheless enthusiastically embraced the making of money and all the earthly pleasures that wealth can provide. Unfortunately, as history has shown, this drive for wealth has and continues to extract an inordinately steep price from the common working man. This is no doubt why our Lord gave warning against the inordinate love of money to all who would hear His words. He knew that in our fallen natures, it would be all to easy to replace the search for God and holiness – that purpose for which our lives really exist – with an unending quest to acquire things and riches.
Therefore, let me now get to the heart of my presentation – the insistence that it is proper for some structure of authority to limit the earnings of corporate CEO's and moreover, to force the rich, if necessary, to give large portions of their income to the maintenance and care of the less fortunate.
I have no doubt that such a program would be met with loud howls of outrage. Yet I am pressed to wonder why. Do we not expect our government to act against individuals or companies who engage in actions that are injurious to the good of the human community? We consider certain actions such as pollution of natural resources, overpricing of goods, unsafe working conditions, and the sale of unsafe products to be crimes against the common good, and we expect action to be taken to right the unjust situation. It is expected that the appropriate authority will take the situation in hand, using whatever means necessary to bring about justice, compliance, and the safety of the community. No one protests when the government steps into such a situation and, by force if necessary, makes the offending company to do that which is just and right for the community, regardless of how it affects their bottom line. It is understood by all rational people that an appeal to profits does not override the good of the community and the individuals in it.
"It is no less a crime to take from him that has, than to refuse to succor the needy when you can and are well off." (The Decretals (Dist. XLVII, cited in ST II-II, q.66, a.3, obj 2)
Wow. That's pretty plain and to the point. Just as it is a crime to steal, it is equally a crime to withhold needed charity.
Let us then make application to one of many current economic issues of our day – obscenely large corporate pay for executives. The average salary of workers in this country is around $23K/year. Yet the average pay of corporate executives is two hundred thirty one times as much! How does this affect the community as a whole?
Firstly, the cost of employment is considered part of the cost of the finished product. Thus, if a CEO is paid 100 million dollars (Yes, Virginia, there are CEOs that make that much a year!) for his services, this affects the final price of the commodity which his corporation makes. In turn, the price of the commodity must be set in such a manner that its sales will generate enough profit to cover the CEO's enormous salary. Such pricing adversely affects entire communities when it involves items that are staples such as food, toiletries, utilities, automobiles, and other necessities of life. For these reasons, to pay one or several individuals a sum of money which would keep ten families alive for a lifetime is an unmitigated evil. It has a negative effect upon the community as a whole by making needed goods and services unaffordable, especially to those in the lower economic classes.
Secondly, with the average pay of workers in this company at $23K/year, the salary and perks given to such executives could instead be used to create a more just and liveable wage for workers in the factory or business. If a man being paid $50 million a year would have his income slashed by 90%, half of that money could go into lowering the price of the commodity being produced and the other half could be used to give raises to employees. He would still be making $5 million a year, which would put him in the highest pay strata in the country. With greater earnings, these employees would either spend more money, thus quickening the economy, or would save or invest it wisely for future use, helping them to self-sufficiency in their old age. It would also allow for employees to work fewer hours and spend more time with their families, seeing that they would have to work fewer hours to make the money necessary for familial support, education, and vacations.
At the turn of the 20th century, the world witnessed the conflict that ensued between rapacious business owners, and employees whose lives were constantly on the brink of financial ruin, even though they were working 70 hours a week. This was not an isolated condition either, relegated to a certain area of industry. From coal mines, to automobile factories, to steel mills and many, many other industries, working conditions and pay were horrible, benefitting only those who owned the company at the expense of those who worked for them. To alleviate these conditions, men turned to the formation of unions and when their grievances were not answered, went out on strike. The response of multi-millionaire business owners, rather than to address their suffering fellow men and their conditions, was to call out armies of thugs and employ violence to break the unions and send the men back to work for the miserable pittances they were being paid. The irony of this all is that if the owners had released in funding to their workers the same amount they paid the strikebreakers, the violence most likely could have been avoided. If the owners had turned their wealth into charity instead of multi-million dollar houses, extravagantly fine clothing, and sumptuous meals, much suffering and violence could have been avoided. Their response once again showed the historically callous disregard of the rich towards humanity in their avarice.
If we expect those in authority to protect our community from toxins, why is it wrong to expect them to protect us from the ill effects of personal greed? No man has the right to say "This is my property and I will do whatever I damn well please with it." and therefore no man has the right to say "I will take as much money as I want out of this company in salary and benefits and I don't care how it affects the buying public or the people who work for me." Yet we find certain conservative talk show hosts to be horrified that anyone would suggest limiting the income of corporate executives, despite the negative effect their earnings have, not only on the community, but on their souls as well.
Another great detriment to us as community has been the establishment of gigantic mega-corporations, with their box stores and prices slashed to bare minimums. Such stores have destroyed an untold number of small and medium family owned businesses. The right to personal property, such as the ownership of one's own business, is essential for the good of communities. A man who owns his own property owns that which produces a living for his family. If a man's property produces his family's livelihood, then that man is free. His property produces life for him. Yet stores such as Wal-Mart have destroyed the ownership of personal property and reduced a vast number of men from property owners to servile wage seekers who put candy on display racks. To save ten cents on our dishwashing soap we have put our neighbors out of business and participated in the destruction of the American society. It is my opinion that a well ordered society, with economic thinkers who would have seen this coming, should have implored the government to disallow the creation of such a monster. In like manner, a well ordered government, with the concerns of the community and individual at heart, would have responded positively to these calls. No one is stating that Mr. Walton did not have the right to start his store and become successful – but not at the expense of vast numbers of families whom he cast into penury by his rapacious desire to rule the retail world. The damage done to my neighbor is the limit of my rights.
In order to deflect the accusation of being a Communist, let me now turn to the Early Fathers of the Church and record their opinions on the use of wealth. I believe I can prove that the Church is on my side in this matter.
Basil (329–379)
Basil the Great was bishop of the church at Caesarea and archbishop of all Cappadocia. He personally ministered to lepers even after he became a bishop. Basil was probably the first in Christian history to found a hospital.
From a commentary on Luke 12:18:
"Whom do I injure," [the rich person] says, "when I retain and conserve my own?" Which things, tell me, are yours? Whence have you brought them into being? You are like one occupying a place in a theatre, who should prohibit others from entering, treating that as one's own which was designed for the common use of all.
Such are the rich. Because they were first to occupy common goods, they take these goods as their own. If each one would take that which is sufficient for one's needs, leaving what is in excess to those in distress, no one would be rich, no one poor.
Did you not come naked from the womb? Will you not return naked into the earth?(Job 1:21). Whence then did you have your present possessions? If you say, " By chance," you are godless, because you do not acknowledge the Creator, nor give thanks to the Giver. If you admit they are from God, tell us why you have received them.
Is God unjust to distribute the necessaries of life to us unequally? Why are you rich, why is that one poor? Is it not that you may receive the reward of beneficence and faithful distribution…?"
What a remarkable idea, and that which is at the heart of what I am proposing – the right of some qualified authority to see that no man hoards to himself more than that which is rightfully his in order that all might have the bare essentials of living!
Let me clearly state, however, because of the inherit greed and dishonesty of mankind due to the Fall, combined with the overriding general incompetence of centralized government, I am absolutely unwilling for that authority to be a centralized, monolithic government such as our federal government. It was reported years ago that for every dollar collected for welfare by the government, only twenty four cents of that dollar actually got to the need. Between graft, corruption, and outright waste, our government's "charity" never reaches the intended target. It instead became an opportunity of sin for those who should have been administering the programs, but instead wound up helping themselves to the public poor box.
In any suggested program which remediates poverty, the Catholic principle of subsidiary must be foremost in the redistribution of excess wealth. That is, "a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order, depriving the latter of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to co-ordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society, always with a view to the common good" (Catechism, 1883).
The work of collection of excess funds from those blessed with abundant wealth above and beyond what they need should be the function of the lowest level possible – the local parish. Governmental structures should provide only the needed force of arms to enact the law, and that only as a desperate last resort when all other appeals to conscience have failed.
A parish should set up diaconate committees in which those in need could present their cause, be thoroughly screened as to the need, and receive 100% of the money which is allocated for that need, thus eliminating fraud and waste. Furthermore, giving heed to St. Paul's admonition "if any man would not work, neither should he eat," a local council would more easily be able to discern who is in true need and who is attempting to scam the system. This would eliminate much of the abuse we find in the welfare state today, wherein it has been discovered recently that welfare recipients were using their welfare debit cards to go on trips to Las Vegas and Hawaii.

Derek Fisher says NBA far, far away from labor peace
Jun 22, 2011, 3:20 PM EST
All that "substantial progress" in the NBA's labor negotiations? Don't hang your hat on it. That's essentially what National Basketball Players Assocition President Derek Fisher told Stephen A. Smith on ESPN 1050 radio in New York (via Sports Radio Interviews). And he was not backing down over a lockout. "If the owners decide they want…
Still big gap between NBA owners, players after key talks
Jun 21, 2011, 4:38 PM EST
If you were waiting to really worry about an NBA lockout, now is a good time. Tuesday's negotiation session — which NBA Commissioner David Stern had previously called key to avoiding a July 1 lockout — had both sides leaving and speaking in pessimistic tones. Chris Paul said this to Brian Smith of the Salt…
Don't expect much out of NBA owners, players meeting
Jun 21, 2011, 8:13 AM EST
David Stern tried after last week's bargaining session to set Tuesday up as the big key day — it is after this session we'll know if there will be a lockout. But even that was Stern posturing, using some gamesmanship to put the pressure on the players. Which says everything about where we are in…
Players understand a lockout will kill league's momentum
Jun 18, 2011, 9:04 PM EST
It's the one question I've been asked by seemingly every radio show host, every friend in the last few weeks — how can the NBA go on a lockout now? Television ratings are up — this was the most watched finals since Shaq and Kobe were teammates — and that reflects an increased interest around…
After nearly five-hour meeting, little progress in CBA talks
Jun 17, 2011, 5:45 PM EST
The countdown clock reads 13 days until the NBA's owners lock the players out. And if you weren't sure before, you should be now that the clock will reach zero. After the two sides met for more than four-and-a-half hours in a Manhattan hotel Friday both sides left the room saying they were nowhere near…
After two days of talks owners, players nowhere near deal
Jun 8, 2011, 5:32 PM EST
What is the bottom line after two long days of talks between NBA owners and players on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement? "We remain very far apart… I'd say we're apart on everything, despite both sides having moved." David Stern said, as tweeted by Ken Berger of CBS Sports. Derek Fisher, players union president, said…
Franchise tag may not be part of NBA's future after all
Jun 3, 2011, 12:39 PM EST
A lot of things that were thrown out on the Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiating table in the last year were never intended to be part of the final deal. Like contraction — David Stern put that on he table just for something to take off during negotiations to get something he wants. Apparently, the franchise…
Players, owners have good bargaining session Wednesday
Jun 2, 2011, 10:12 AM EST

David Stern says it would be "challenge" to avoid lockout
Jun 1, 2011, 11:03 AM EST
Wednesday, representatives of the NBA owners and the Players Association will sit down in a room together and talk about a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. They'll do the same thing a couple times when the NBA finals series shifts to Dallas next week. So, at least they are talking. But even David Stern admitted that…
NBA says players union's NLRB charges have "no merit"
May 25, 2011, 8:50 AM EST
As PBT told you Tuesday, the NBA players union has filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board accusing the league and owners of not negotiating in good faith. They accused the owners of "making harsh, inflexible, and grossly regressive 'takeaway' demands" and just about everything else they could think of. As expected, the…
Players union files grievance saying owners not negotiating in good faith
May 24, 2011, 3:18 PM EST
Consider this your lockout amuse-bouche, just a little something to whet your appetite for the ugliness of players/owners negotiations to come. The National Basketball Players Association — the players union — filed a filed unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board, saying that the NBA and the owners are not negotiating in…
Report: owners "big" concession is hard salary cap phased in
May 12, 2011, 10:00 AM EST
When the owners submitted their new proposal to the players at the end of last month, they said they had heard the players concerns and made concessions. Apparently, that big concession is to phase in a hard salary cap over two years rather than just drop it on everyone next year, according to Marc Stein…
David Stern, union head Billy Hunter at least talking
May 11, 2011, 10:52 AM EST
Well, at least they are talking. NBA Commissioner David Stern and his lead negotiator Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver have been meeting with NBA players' union executive director Billy Hunter and staff face-to-face, according to Henry Abbott at ESPN. That's the good news, and the fact that the two sides are sitting at a table and…
Owners' new proposal to players looks a lot like old one
May 4, 2011, 10:57 AM EST
Savor these playoffs. Because when this season ends, it could be a while before we see NBA basketball again. For all the people singing Kumbaya about how neither the owners nor the players union wants to crush the momentum this season and these playoffs have generated for the NBA, the two sides remain far apart.…
Report: NBA owners want to make it two-and-done in college
Apr 12, 2011, 12:35 PM EST
Two-and-done? While the age limit should be a side issue to the upcoming NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement — percentage of basketball related income is the real number to watch — it looks like it could be another little battleground. Billy Hunter from the players union said that he didn't think it was appropriate to keep…
Television lockout ads preview (not really, but you'll laugh)
Apr 7, 2011, 2:47 PM EST
The lockout is coming July 1. We keep telling you so you will not be surprised. Know it is coming. No matter what you do it will arrive, it is an unstoppable force at this time. Which means there are two fronts being played by both the owners and the players union: 1) At the…
Lockout might keep Marcin Gortat from being hammer for Poland
Apr 1, 2011, 1:32 PM EST
Poland, like many countries this summer, will be playing in a tournament trying to earn a spot in the 2012 Olympics. In this case, it is EuroBasket 2011, where the Polish team is a long shot but at least they are in the dance and can dream like VCU. Except Poland may not have its…
Jason Kidd admits he might retire if there is a lockout

Tracy McGrady's advice to owners: "Don't lowball us"
Mar 14, 2011, 12:05 PM EST
As the NFL's labor situation devolves, the NBA players and owners are sitting back, watching and taking notes. For example, the NBA's player union has passed out and gotten players to sign off on potentially decertifying the union. Whether or not they will play that card will depend on how well it goes for the…
Players' union distributes "lockout handbook" to members
Mar 11, 2011, 5:57 PM EST
The NFL lockout is about to start after days of failed negotiations and amidst a big gulf between players and owners. For NBA fans, it will be this and worse. The NBA owners and players may be farther apart and more antagonistic to each other than their NFL counterparts. That's why we say the lockout…
Winderman: It's time for built-in buyouts in NBA contracts
Mar 2, 2011, 1:17 PM EST
One of the prime sticking points in the negotiations for a new NBA collective-bargaining agreement is maximum contract length. Currently, players can be signed for up to six seasons. Management wants far shorter terms. Based on the machinations at the buyout deadline, the players certainly are fueling management's argument. Even with time left on the…
Hornets want to see new CBA before deciding next step with Chris Paul
Feb 28, 2011, 12:09 PM EST
Utah watched the Carmelo Anthony circus unfold, they heard their star point guard Deron Williams talk about waiting to see about signing an extension, they realized that an extended lockout next season could mean little chance to move him. So they shocked the world and sent to New Jersey. Chris Paul could be a free…

New Products
Compact, automotive-qualified 600-V gate drive IC simplifies and shrinks designs
The AUIRS2332J, high-voltage, high speed power MOSFET and IGBT driver features three independent high- and low-side referenced output channels. Proprietary HVIC technology enables ruggedized monolithic construction with logic inputs compatible with CMOS or LSTTL outputs, down to 3.3 V logic.
The new device also offers an integrated ground-referenced operational amplifier to provide analog feedback of the bridge current via an external current sense resistor, current trip function, and open drain FAULT signal to indicate over-current or under-voltage shutdown. The IC is housed in a PLCC44 package, providing higher creepage distances between high voltage pins, simplifying PCB layout.
The AUIRS2332J is fully characterized for negative transients on the switching node that may occur during normal operation and protection mode for increased system robustness. The device's output drivers feature a high pulse current buffer stage designed for minimum driver cross-conduction. Propagation delays are matched to simplify use at high frequencies. The floating channel can be used to drive N-channel power MOSFET or IGBT in the high-side configuration.
IR's automotive grade IC products are subject to dynamic and static part average testing combined with 100 percent automated wafer level visual inspection as part of IR's automotive quality initiative targeting zero defects. The devices are qualified according to AEC-Q100 standards, feature an environmentally friendly, lead-free and RoHS compliant bill of materials.
Availability and Pricing
Pricing for AUIRS2332J begins at $3.34 each in quantities of 10,000-units. Production quantities are available immediately. The devices are lead free and RoHS compliant.

The Wall Street Journal reports this morning that the nation's most powerful lobby when it comes to Social Security is changing its position. The AARP, which has long fought efforts to overhaul the entitlement program, is now willing to discuss reforming the system:
The decision, which AARP hasn't discussed publicly, came after a wrenching debate inside the organization. In 2005, the last time Social Security was debated, AARP led the effort to kill President George W. Bush's plan for partial privatization. AARP now has concluded that change is inevitable, and it wants to be at the table to try to minimize the pain.
"The ship was sailing. I wanted to be at the wheel when that happens," said John Rother, AARP's long-time policy chief and a prime mover behind its change of heart.
The shift, which has been vetted by AARP's board and is now the group's stance, could have a dramatic effect on the debate surrounding the future of the federal safety net, from pensions to health care, given the group's immense clout.
As the Journal notes, this is a very risky move. The obvious question is how the AARP's congressional allies, who have opposed entitlement reform, will react to the news. Not to mention the group's 37 million members. For the AARP, it remains to be seen what the real cost of a seat at the table will be.

Adam Levine Makes Hosting Debut on NBC's SNL Tonight
TVLine Reports that 'The Voice' judge Adam Levine will make his hosting debut on NBC's Saturday Night Live tonight, January 26. The Maroon 5 frontman recently served as the show's musical guest. According to the report, Levine will be joined by hip-hop artis Kendrick Lamar as the show's musical guest.
As the front man of Grammy Award-winning recording group Maroon 5, Adam Levine has left an indelible mark on popular music. The primary songwriter for the band and a guitar player, Levine's talents give Maroon 5 their signature sound. Capturing their first of three Grammy Awards as "Best New Artist" of 2005 and going on to sell more than 17 million albums, Maroon 5's releases have gone gold and platinum in over 35 countries. Maroon 5 won over fans and critics alike with the hybrid rock/R&B sound they introduced on their debut album, "Songs About Jane," and followed it up with the double platinum album, "It Won't Be Soon Before Long," which included hits like "Makes Me Wonder" and "If I Never See Your Face Again."
In September 2010, the band released their third studio album, "Hands All Over" that also recently went platinum. The album featured two hit singles including the Hot AC SMASH "Misery" and the anthemic "Moves Like Jagger," which climbed to the No. 1 spot on the Top 40 and Hot AC charts and also claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Both singles received GRAMMY Award nominations in the category of "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals," marking the group's eighth Grammy nomination overall and fifth in that category. With the success of "Moves Like Jagger" on the Hot 100 chart, Maroon 5 frontman Levine became the first artist in the chart's 53-year history to reach No. 1 as part of a group and enter the Top 10 at the same time as a soloist, as he is also featured on Gym Class Heroes' "Stereo Hearts."
This summer marked the release of Maroon 5's highly anticipated fourth studio album, "Overexposed." Recorded in Los Angeles, California, the album is a rich, pop-infused collection that Levine refers to as "our most diverse and poppiest album yet." A key track on the album is the stand out lead single "Payphone," featuring Wiz Khalifa, which immediately shot straight to No. 1 on both the Top 40 and Hot AC charts.
Levine will make his small-screen acting debut on "American Horror Story" this season, and has landed a lead role in the major motion picture film, "Can a Song Save Your Life?" from director John Carney.
Levine has also collaborated with various musical acts including Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Natasha Bedingfield, Slash and K'naan. Levine has also made several appearances on television, including "Saturday Night Live," "30 Rock," "The Daily Show with John Stewart" and "Comedy Central's Night of Too Many Stars."

For those who have exhausted the possibilities offered by the Kama Sutra, new Capitol Records signee Bertell's here to suggest a few new ways to – ahem – Beat It Up. On the second half of his current dual single (released along with hit Bun B collabo She Bad), the Booth newcomer lets listeners know know just how sexually adventurous he is, inviting a female to try out the "VIP position" in the club bathroom before enjoying a little white-knuckle action on the way back to his place. Getting it in while rocketing down the freeway at 80 miles per hour may be a really, really bad idea, but Bertell spins the potentially life-threatening scenario into one crowd-pleasing R&B-pop jam, showcasing his smooth vocal stylings over Bryan-Michael Cox' uniquely seductive mix of glittering synths and warm strings. If Beat It Up has you screaming, "Ey, ey, ey, ey, ey ey!" well, your first order of business should probably be a cold shower – but after that, you'll definitely want to keep it locked for the latest on Bertell's Goin Hard LP, currently set to hit stores in spring of next year.

Tim Burtons dark twisted point of view contrasts with his deep sense of happy fifties nostalgia here, as in many of his prior films. Burton seems to have a love/hate relationship with the fifties and sixties suburbs, mocking the apparent conformity of those who live there while reveling in artifacts and idealized, Hollywood-ised feel of the time.
Its been a long while since weve seen fondues served to a family sitting around at table on an ordinary weeknight. The gardens and picket fences indicate that therein lies brutal anti-cool. In fact, its as fascinating a place as any other because people live there. People are what make life interesting. And frankly, Burton seems obsessed by the burbs having set so many stories there, in that land.
And in one house in Burtons saturated black and white unnamed suburbia world live the Frankensteins, mom, dad and Victor (Martin Short, Catherine OHara, Victor Tajan). Victors beloved companion Sparky the dog aptly named it turns out is the star of the animated films Victor makes at home. Hes a bit of a loner.
His teacher who has just been fired for being an aesthete (a Vincent Price-esque Martin Landau) encourages Victor to stick to his hearts calling and artistic vision no matter what it takes. And in an amazing biology class demonstration, the teacher made a dead frog move by jolting him with an electrical shock.
Victor takes what hes learned to heart when Sparky is hit by a car and killed. He uses his knowledge of electricity and his heartbreak and through an incredible feat of ingenuity and construction builds a gateway between life and death. He rigs the attic with common fifties and sixties household items and creates an ingenious electricity trap to experiment on Sparkys lifeless body.
Nightly thunder and lightning storms in the district are a boon. He hooks Sparky up to his machine and waits for lighting. It comes, lighting up the attic and Sparky is shocked back to life, sewn up wounds, missing tail and all. Their reunion joy is sweet. They then keep each other company while Victor practices revivifying dead things, and making movies, keeping Sparkys presence and his experiments - secret.
But word gets out. Victor could never have imagined the ripple effect that his work created at home, and in the town. His experiments on dead animals at the cemetery especially the amazing Shelly the turtle go haywire and the town fills up with rampaging pet zombies. Trouble!
Burtons visuals are almost too gorgeous to look at the rich black and white is eerily captivating, nostalgic and exciting. We may imagine we see things that arent there, in this Halloween-esque world. Its a beautiful place exquisitely detailed where anything can happen. There are salutes to dozens of films and books, my favorites are the noir film references, and plenty of double entendres.
Winona Ryders absolutely believable as the adolescent Elsa Van Helsing (see? References!) a neighbor and schoolmate, despite their nearly thirty year age difference. Its great to see her back with Burton. Catherine OHara and Martin Short play multiple roles with the kind of genius that comes along with forty years experience with voices.
Absolutely love this film.

Newtown officials and a GE representative working with the first selectman's office are about a week away from filing for approximately $6 million in grants from the US Department of Justice that the town intends to use to fund several new, nongovernment professionals who will help deliver sustained and targeted mental health and recovery support in the community.
First Selectman Pat Llodra is seeking residents to fill several opening on local appointed boards and commissions. In some cases the appointments are required to be affiliated with a specific political party, while in other cases unaffiliated voters are encouraged to consider serving.
Current openings exist on:
The Economic Development Commission, with a position available to any registered voter; last day to apply is February 3.
A federal judge in Hartford Thursday dismissed a constitutional challenge to the sweeping gun-control legislation passed in Connecticut after the Sandy Hook School massacre.
Gun owners challenged the law on several fronts, including what the state called "an absolutist" Second Amendment claim that the possession of types of semiautomatic rifles and large-capacity magazines banned under the law was a constitutionally guaranteed right.
Newtown police said that after learning that they held warrants for his arrest, a former resident came to the police station on January 24 and was charged with 186 counts of violation of a protective order.
Police said that William A. Bruno, 44, of New Haven came to the police station and was arrested on the charges, after which he was released on $100,000 bail for a January 27 arraignment in Danbury Superior Court. The 186 charges are felonies.
Fire Marshal Bill Halstead noted this week that during the past year, malfunctioning clothes dryers have caused three structure fires in town.
Most recently, on January 2, a malfunctioning clothes dryer caused a house fire on Thunder Ridge Road in Sandy Hook that resulted in approximately $500,000 in property damage.
NASHVILLE, TENN. — A Nashville, Tenn., television station has reported that Robbie Bruce, the co-founder of an organization created in the wake of 12/14 to raise funds for those directly affected by the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, will cooperate fully with authorities who are investigating claims that he misappropriated $73,000.
Jeffrey Silver, 36, who has been a town police officer for nearly 15 years, has been promoted to the rank of sergeant, in which capacity he will oversee the activities of patrol shifts at the police department.
After interviewing three candidates for the position, Police Commission members on January 28 unanimously selected Mr Silver for the post, according to Police Commission Chairman Paul Mangiafico.
"[Silver] has quite a ranking on his written/oral [test] scores," Mr Mangiafico said.
While continuing its review of the superintendent's proposed operating budget for the 2014-15 fiscal year, the Board of Education took up the topic of security during its workshop meeting on Thursday, January 30.
At 18 degrees and sunny, carpenters with Nosal Builders worked steadily Wednesday to get the roof structure in place. Clerk of the Works Brian Feeney said the progress on the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corp's new ambulance garage is "going really well." So far, the roughly $4.5 million project that broke ground in mid-2013, is on schedule, he said.
Roofing trusses were going into place this week and that phase of the roof should be completed in a few weeks, Mr Feeney said.
The radio dispatchers at the Newtown Emergency Communications Center at Town Hall South at 3 Main Street report the following fire calls and the responders:

Louisiana scored some impressive rankings in a recent issue of Area Development when it comes to economic growth.
In a recent issue of the publication, the state ranked in the top five in the nation in several categories:
- No. 2 for incentive programs
- No. 2 for renewed consideration post-recession
- No. 3 for overall business environment
- No. 3 for favorable regulatory environment
- No. 4 for speed of permitting
- No. 4 for most cooperative state government
- No. 4 for overall cost of doing business
"Louisiana has been experiencing tremendous economic growth at a time when much of the nation has remained stagnant," the article stated. "Manufacturing, energy, transportation and agribusiness continue to lead the state's economy."
The article also said the state is making advances in software development and biotechnology.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ESPN's May: ASU will be improved from last season
As Arizona State's head football coach, Dennis Erickson's second season was substantially worse than his first.
Having gone 10-3 in 2007, the Devils entered 2008 with high expectations, only to stumble to a disappointing 5-8 campaign.
Todd Graham, who replaced Erickson in 2012, is hoping to avoid a similar fate. ASU surprised many with an eight-win campaign last season, but this year the team is expected to compete for a Pac-12 South title.
A guest of Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Tuesday, ESPN NCAA analyst Mark May says it's going to be tough to have a big year because of the difficult early-season schedule that includes home games against Wisconsin and USC as well as a road game at Stanford and a neutral-site game against Notre Dame.
"After Sacramento State they've got four probable losses in a row," May said.
May, though, believes the Sun Devils will be a better team this year than last, and added he doesn't think the team is destined for a second-year slide.
"I think that right now, the mindset of this team is a little different than teams in the past," he said, adding that their approach going into the season is solid. "And plus, the talent they've got coming back in their offensive backfield, and you've got a Will Sutton in the middle defensively."
Comparing the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year to a werewolf or Tasmanian Devil, he said Sutton is the type of player who the rest of the conference's coaches have to account for.
But, May said, the Devils do have some areas where they must improve.
"They've got to find a way to stop the run," he said. "You can't give up 183 yards a game rushing and expect to be in a lot of these ball games, particularly during the season when you get worn down towards the end of the season."

The culinary craftspeople at Java Factory populate a menu with breakfast eats, sandwiches, and build-your-own pizzas inside a café with tile floors and a long wooden coffee bar. Like a wake-up call with a stun gun, flavors from the espresso bar, including a white mocha ($3.50–$3.85) and Java Factory coffee blend ($1.45–$1.85), deliver a morning jolt, and smoothies ($5.50–$6.75) blend fruit and yogurt for hybrid frozen drinks that please palates at all hours of the day. For empty stomachs, smoked ham, egg, cheese, and peppers huddle inside a warm breakfast burrito ($4.75), and the mediterranean tuna panini ($7.75) infuses tuna salad with black olives and chives before topping the medley with a mediterranean spread. Build-your-own flatbread pizzas ($6.50) come with a choice of nine toppings, such as pepperoni, turkey, and olives. Tall chairs line a dark wood coffee bar where beans roast and baristas tell secrets via cryptic foam formations. Shorter seats rest below individual tables clothed in white linens and illuminated by candlelight not emitted by jack-o'-lanterns.
Yogurtland is a colorful, dreamlike destination for frozen-treat fanatics, softly serving up a variety of fun flavors. In addition to offering an impressive mix of classic and creative yogurt flavors such as New York cheesecake, praline, blueberry tart, peanut-butter cup, vanilla wafer, dutch chocolate, and root-beer float, the store lets customers customize their portions of tasty goodness with a variety of toppings. Decorate your dairy delight with fruit such as strawberries, pineapple, peaches, or pomegranate arils, or prove at last that gummy bears, Fruity Pebbles, and frosted animal cookies can get along, provided they have a chill place to hang out together. Yogurtland also offers a variety of flavors with no sugar added, as well as many that are gluten-free.
Yogurbella invites dairy gormandizers to treat their palates to a satisfyingly cold embrace with every brain-chilling mouthful of sweetness. Indulge in 20 different flavors of yogurt, as well as smoothies, beverages, and special arctic desserts to cool down after attempting to bench press the Liberty Bell. Yogurbella whips up its milky morsels every day, and churns out smoothies ($5.50), parfaits ($5.50), and cones ($3.25–$4.50) for a fancy frozen fete. Swing into the store and order a classic yogurt flavor cup in flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, pistachio, and original—all soothing alternatives to gnawing on hot sauce packets ($3.75–$12.75). One 100-gram serving of the plain yogurt contains a paltry 110 calories, making it an ideal treat for health-conscious dairy devourers, and can be topped with fresh fruit to gussy up servings without an application of mascara. The yogurt recipe contains fewer than four major ingredients and keeps artificial flavorings and additives out of its exclusive frozen clubhouse.

Application DetailsThe process took a day – interviewed at US Airways in December 2010.
Interview DetailsThere were several months in between when I applied for the position on line and when I received a call requesting an interview. After that though, the process moved fairly quickly. The interview itself consisted of many behavioral questions, and although it was very structured, it wasn't intimidating. I only had to wait about 2 weeks to hear back, which was pretty good considering the holidays were going on here. Overall I was pleased with the process, my interviewers were very friendly and approachable! They were more than willing to answer all of my questions as well.

"Can you roll your"
The narrator of this fine tale set in Scotland is particularly proud of his authentic Scottish brogue, so much so that most of the dialogue he reads is absolutely undecipherable to the American ear. I gave up after a few chapters. Unless you are a native of Glasgow or Aberdeen don't frustrate yourself with this book. Pity. R.L. Stevenson deserves better.
"Almost all 5 stars"
What a tremendous story and overall experience. My only nit to pick is with Steven Weber. If you are going to narrate a book about the military, you'd better get the vernacular and the pronunciation correct, particularly Navy terminology. The ship "Bonhomme Richard" is pronounced like the French -- "bon hom ree-chard", not "bon hom rich-urd", as it would be pronounced in English. A navy hospital corpsman is the equivalent of an army medic, but the rating is pronounced "core-man", not "corpse-man" or "cores-man" as Weber does. The "s" is silent for cryin' out loud! Similarly, Boatswain's Mate is pronounced "bo-sunz mate", the edge of a boat is the gunwale, pronounced "gun-ul", and most, but not all, military acronyms have a spoken form, not just voicing the individual letters. When Weber reads a passage describing a piece of hardware designation, say MK-15, he pronounces it "em kay fifteen". Arggh! MK is military shorthand for "mark", so MK-15 is always pronounced "mark fifteen". The list goes on and on. At times, Weber just seems to stumble slowly through many of the book's more technical passages, indicating his unfamiliarity with the subject matter.
The book would have been better and five stars all around if Weber had done his homework and learned the lingo used so abundantly by Clancy in all his books. Loved the story, author Galdorisi is a Navy classmate of mine, and I've known a handful of SEALS. This book does them proud. You'd think Brilliance Audio would employ the equivalent of a verbal transcript editor to catch things like this and have them re-recorded, but then that would only work if the editor themselves had a military and/or specifically a Navy background.
"Profound, a must hear."
Though the narration is a bit dry, "Made to Stick" is as profound as it is practical. The Heath brothers have managed to quantify that hard to pin down "it" that some ideas have that makes them memorable and effective. I will never make a presentation, woo a client, make an argument, or write a report in the same way again. If you want to become a highly effective communicator, this is a must hear book. After listening I bought a hard copy to mark up and to have handy as a ready reminder and reference. Its that good.
"Disgusting, Pompous and Unlistenable"
Expecting an historically balanced review of Napoleon's life, I instead found a "puff" piece. The author must be the world's greatest admirer and apologist for Napoleon, who was an amoral egotistical tyrant, slaughtering tens of thousands across Europe and the middle east mainly to satisfy his hyper inflated ego and inferiority complex. In the author's view, Napoleon could do no wrong and it is disgusting to hear the extent to which his most heinous acts are justified. The text makes the reader feel that he has walked in on the second act. Very sketchy in details leading up to some important event and then an overburden of pointless minutia. Is a detailed description of the white uniforms of the Austrian army really more important than the scarcely outlined geo-political situation leading to the battle? Did this book have an editor?
The text is exceeded in pomposity by H.A.L. Fisher's cloying and overly dramatic reading. The musical background pieces sound horrible unless the highest quality (and largest) download is selected, and the "God speaking" echo effect whenever Napoleon is quoted is just over the top. This is the only Audible book that I simply could not finish, and hands down the worst I've ever purchased.

North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority funds clean construction equipment in urban areas
The North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) Board of Trustees unanimously approved $800,000 last Monday to retrofit off-road construction equipment such as bulldozers, graders, and pavers with pollution control devices that will reduce diesel emissions, according to the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED).
The funding will support Phase 1 of New Jersey's Clean Construction Program, which will allocate a total of $2.5 million to retrofit 175 pieces of equipment being used for state-financed projects in urban environments, AED says. In April, Gov. Chris Christie signed an executive order establishing the program to improve air quality in densely populated urban areas, where residents are disproportionately exposed to emissions from construction sites.
"This is an important public health measure that will help protect residents from the heavy diesel exhaust produced by construction vehicles and equipment," said NJTPA Chairman Daniel P. Sullivan, also a Union County Freeholder, in a written statement. "People who live and work in northern and central New Jersey's urban communities will breathe cleaner air when there are road projects in their neighborhoods thanks to this program."
