Joe Favorito is making a great point. I live and work in Hudson County, and the race ever occurring seemed doubtful at best, and it seems that others are starting to agree.
I recently read in the Star-Ledger that the mayor of West New York says the race is still taking place, despite the CEO stating it is not happening in 2014 due to money issues, and that work is being done to prep for race day. Who is paying for this work? And what kind of work is being done? If the CEO of Formula 1 says it isn't taking place, then I can't understand why or how Formula 1 would fund the prep work Mayor Roque is mentions in the Star-Ledger. I hope my taxpayer money isn't going towards improvements for a race that will never take place.

Atlantic City should welcome Steve back, because he and his Golden Nugget added a bit of class to our resort. And with his marketing team, he attracted many quality players to our shores, with top entertainment, excellent restaurants and enormous suites. Normally Steve would prefer to build his own resort, having developed many of the outstanding casino resorts, including the Mirage, Bellagio, Wynn LV and Encore in Las Vegas, the splendid Beau Rivage in Biloxi and quality gaming properties in Macau. But the current cost of entry, for any resort that he would attach the Wynn name to, mikes little sense today in AC, with casino win down 50% from 2006, after PA opened their gaming establishments State wide. New casino capacity is not in the interest of anyone in AC, acquiring or partnering with an existing property makes more sense. Welcome back Steve?

Michael, your content is very appropriate and I agree wholeheartedly with most of what you say- especially that processed food is bad, but I believe you are overgeneralizing breads. I find that people feel gluten free= healthy, when in fact, every gluten free bread I have seen is made from processed flours (like rice flour) that have very little nutrient value. My wife and I own a company that manufactures sprouted grain breads and to categorize them with breads made from processed flours is an injustice. The sprouted breads we make do have lower calories and carbs (30% lower on average) than breads made from processed flours, even if they are whole grain. Most importantly, sprouted grains are unprocessed, more whole foods than flour. Just wanted to set the record straight. Thank you.
I took the time to read this editorial and then I went to your web page and I can only applaud you for the work you are doing and for the strength that you are upholding. I was a bullied over many years and now, I have three children, one of which was a victim of bullying in his parochial school. I am sorry for the incident that you had to undergo, but I would appreciate your support in an effort to help my middle school son keep his chin up.
Even if this article was actually proven completely factual -- as opposed to 'grossly inaccurate' as insurance companies are claiming -- said insurance companies would of course be duplicitous in order to keep the money in any way possible. Let the shell game(s) begin: 'premiums will go up, service will go down', anything and everything will be spun to keep the cash. In their view, it's better that multimillion dollar corporations keep the money than having to give it to the people they're supposed to be serving. After all, money over people is the way it works in grossly greedy capitalistic America in 2013.
NJ people are so sensitive. It's not the TV networks, it's the teams themselves. They know their marketing would go down the tubes if the called themselves the NJ Giants. How about this, if the Giants end up playing more than half the time of their existence Jersey changing their name might be a consideration.
I just want to give my two cents on this. Not that this article is wrong in expressing the concerns over nuclear safety, it is a very important issue in the industry, there are just some details that where not necessarily presented clearly in my opinion and some additional perspectives that might not cause people to panic about the around the clock generation of clean energy using nuclear power. I hope to give anyone who takes the time to read this some insight on how he level of conservatism/safety in the nuclear power industry, and enforce that it is many orders of magnitude greater than almost all other industries, as it should be.
The first point I would like to make is that the Containment/Reactor Building SUMP System in All Nuclear Power Plants is completely isolated from the outside world and is not directly connected to the storm drain system in anyway. The storm drain system at this plant is probably connected to river, that would make sense, most man made structures drain storm water (i.e. rain/snow melt) to local bodies of water or back into the ground, if possible, and I am almost certain that any storm water discharge is highly regulated by EPA/NJDEP.
My second point is that regardless of public perception, Nuclear Power Plants are actual design to be very safe, hence why plants are getting shut down by operators for finical reasons, not safety reasons, even with the increase microscope that nuclear plants are being inspected under due to the events in Japan. This instance is a great case that demonstrates the conservative (safe) manner in which the plants have been designed and are being operated. By isolating this system in the containment building, the plant is designed to passively contain this entire leak. Even with this sump system isolated and ensuring that there is no way this tiny leak can get out and impact the public, Nuclear Plant operators have a legal responsibility to fix any leaks in these critical systems beyond a certain point, in other stories I read, the limit for this plant is one gallon per minute. If the leak is not reduced to below this limit in a set period of time, again other stories indicated 6 hours, the plant is forced to shut down until the leak is repaired. This is just one of the many passive design features of NPP that protect the health and well being of the public.
To put it simply, they shut the plant down after only 6 hours, taking away enough clean energy to power over 1 million homes because minor leak that resulted in 4,800 out of the 90,000 gallons (0.533%) leaked from this system in a 2 day period, with no where it could go and causing no harm to the public well being. That is equivalent to a slow drip from a faucet in someones home. Think about that, they had 6 hours to stop a leak that equates to a radioactive leaky faucet slowly dripping into a sink that doe not have a drain before they had to shut off the water under this sink and replace that tiny o-ring that’s responsible for that leak. Most people probably would let that sink leak for weeks, probably months before they fix it. If that’s not looking out for the health and safety of the public and environment while providing around the clock clean energy, I don’t know what is.
I obviously am connected to the industry; I have been so fora very short period of time so far, less than a year. I also have technical background with Degrees in engineering, and I am in the “under 30” demographic. I think solar and wind energy are great alternatives to fossil fuels along with Nuclear power. I also think that the public needs to try and hear both sides of the story and try to have a solid understanding of the matter at hand. So don’t just assume that any liquid that leaks from a nuclear power plant goes in to the near by river/stream/ocean, etc., because it doesn't. In fact that couldn't be further from the truth.
