Cory Booker Communications Director Resigns

Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker's communications director Anne Torres has resigned in the wake of the heroic mayor's controversial "Meet the Press" remarks.

Booker's office released the following statement from Torres on Monday:

Effective today, I am resigning from my position as Communications Director. It has been a pleasure to serve in this Administration for six years, and as a Newarker, there is no greater reward than to work for the city that you love. I?ve had the opportunity to work with an amazing team, and wish the Mayor the best.

Torres said she has "nothing bad to say" about Booker in a phone interview with the Wall Street Journal.

"It's just time for me to move on," Torres said, noting that she's "taking a long vacation" now that she's resigned.

In his May 20 appearance on "Meet the Press," Booker said he was "uncomfortable" with President Barack Obama's re-election campaign attacking rival Mitt Romney over his time at Bain Capital.

"This kind of stuff is nauseating to me on both sides," Booker said. "It's nauseating to the American public. Enough is enough. Stop attacking private equity."

The Obama campaign recently released a series of documentary-style videos portraying Romney as a job-destroying corporate takeover artist. After chastising the videos, both Booker and Obama worked to clarify the statements.

Immediately after condemning Obama, Booker took to his twitter to clarify his comments:

Cory Booker

So I'll clarify my comments on MTP. Yes, Obama must be re-elected. But we as a Nation owe it to him & ourselves 2 reject politics as usual

Torres tweeted about her resignation on Monday afternoon:

Anne Torres

I can't even describe my time here, it's been amazing. I've worked with the best people, and truly a time I will never forget.

UPDATE: Torres again tweeted about her resignation Monday afternoon, this time debunking talk that she resigned because of the "Meet the Press" controversy:

Anne Torres

The rumors are ridiculous..it's not about MTP..come on folks.

Decontamination And Decommissioning Services And Radiation ...

We all know that radiation safety is essential. Whenever living creatures are exposed to even low levels of radiation, it may influence their healthy badly. Exposure to radiation can lead to long lasting damage to one?s body. Radiation sickness is viewed as as one of the deadliest problems it is therefore quite crucial for people to comply with radiation safety. Last year, Fukushima nuclear plants were badly affected by a tsunami resulting in the leaks of high levels of radiation. As a result of, the whole area was evacuated and it now off-limits to unauthorized personnel. It can take a very long time, many years maybe, till the whole area is decontaminated. Not too long ago, a tool built with a tiny video camera, a thermometer, a dosimeter, a water gauge, as well as other apparatuses was utilized to examine the damage within the No. 2 reactor?s containment chamber.

This was the second time since the tsunami struck Fukushima that efforts were enabled to examine the reactor. The data collected indicated that the damage due to the tsunami was really serious. That is why, the operator of the reactor will have to discover new methods for this extremely dangerous power plant. Special apparatuses and equipment must be utilized in the whole decontamination and decommissioning process. This process is projected to last many years. Rushing the decontamination and the decommissioning of the Fukushima power plants will simply yield ineffective results so the ones liable for entire process are being rather thorough and also very careful regarding it. Another 2 reactors also had a nuclear meltdowns. Experts hypothesize that could be in even worse shape. Though it has been more than a year since the tsunami hit Fukushima, just the No. 2 reactor has been checked out thus far.

The tsunami as well as earthquake which hit Fukushima is thought to be the most extreme nuclear accident ever since Chernobyl. The power plants? three reactor cores melted and brought about huge leaks of radiation. Japan?s government claimed that the reactors are actually efficiently cooled and also the plant has stabilised. Nuclear safety analysts still debate this particular statement by Japan?s government.

What?s frightening is that workers not long ago found a fresh flow of a hundred twenty tons of radioactive water from the location. Specialists are worried that it may possibly leak to the sea and also set off major damage to aquatic plants and creatures. Officials are now looking into probable alternatives with regards to the treatment of the polluted water leakage.

The accident in Fukushima has made a definite segment of the Japanese population distrustful and in addition it has brought up concerns with regards to and knowledge of nuclear safety. Due to this, the government has had hard times in starting up the reactors up again, even with regular safety checks. Almost all of Japan?s nuclear reactors will eventually be shut down, as reported by the government.

Brainerd wants to tap sewers for energy savings

BRAINERD, Minn. ? When people in Brainerd run the dishwater, or take hot showers, they not only use energy, they create it.

The water they use and the waste they flush down toilets all flows to the sewer, which not surprisingly can be a pretty warm place - and heat can generate energy.

Brainerd officials say that unconventional source of energy to heat holds huge energy potential for heating and cooling buildings, likely starting with the city police station and a school building.

Under the right conditions that could save the city, the Brainerd School District and residents money.

"Everybody heats water," said Scott Sjolund, technology supervisor for Brainerd Public Utilities. "That's potential energy that could be extracted."

The idea for the project comes from Brainerd-based Hidden Fuels, a company that has been creating a thermal energy map of the city. In 2009, the company began working with the city and the Brainerd School District to seek a $45,000 grant from the federal stimulus package.

In 2010, a team led by Peter Nelson a principal of Hidden Fuels, installed sensors in the city's sewers. For more than a year they measured the temperature and the amount of sewage running through them.

"...There's a significant amount of energy -- literally enough to heat hundreds of homes within the streets of the city of Brainerd."

- Peter Nelson

"It shows that there's a significant amount of energy -- literally enough to heat hundreds of homes within the streets of the city of Brainerd," Nelson said.

That data helped the team match energy sources with buildings where they could install a new heating and cooling system.

Now that officials know how much energy the city creates, the next step is converting it into usable energy, Nelson said. That's challenging, but doable.

Hidden Fuels will rely on technology already in use. Similar to the way geothermal heating and cooling systems work, a heat pump will circulate water from which energy can be extracted to heat or cool buildings.

Officials in Canada used a similar system during the Vancouver winter Olympics. But it didn't have the challenges of using an existing sewer. What Nelson and others want to do in Brainerd is new because the water's full of waste.

"We're not dealing with clean fluids," he said. "We're dealing with contaminated fluids. So that's really the challenge, is to be able to operate efficiently in that contaminated environment."

Earl Wolleat, director of buildings and grounds for the Brainerd Public Schools, said there is enough energy running in one of the sewer pipes to heat the high school. In cold months that can cost around $18,000.

"If you stop and think about it, it's not surprising that the energy is there," Wolleat said. "But I think it all comes down to the practical application ... to find that way to get that heat out of the sewer."

Wolleat said he's confident Hidden Fuels can pull it off, but it will take years before it's cost effective for the district.

"Right now with the cost of energy being so low, I don't see anything on the horizon right away where it would be an advantage to us," he said. "It's definitely going to be an advantage to the district over time, but with the price of natural gas right now, not so."

Those low energy prices are a roadblock for many alternative and renewable energy projects. However they may become more attractive if fossil fuel prices rise.
