Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker's communications director Anne Torres has resigned in the wake of the 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:
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:
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:
The rumors are ridiculous..it's not about MTP..come on folks.

Adam Levine has always been a ladies' man. In the June issue of Details, the 33-year-old "Payphone" singer attempts to explain why he's romanced everyone from Jessica Simpson to Natalie Portman.
"There's two kinds of men: There are men who are [expletive] misogynist pigs, and then there are men who just really love women, who think they're the most amazing people in the world. And that's me," Levine tells the magazine. "Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much."

Being linked to so many high-profile women might seem like a dream come true for some, but not Levine. "I've always felt a little misrepresented in the world," he says. "I felt like people only knew me as a singer who dated pretty girls. A little bit of a bimbo. Maybe I was kind of a bimbo."

"I was the music dude that was naked all the time with the girls, and that's fine, no problem with that," he continues. "But I wanted to create a little balance. When 'The Voice' came around, I thought, 'People now know that I have a brain.'"

Australian scientists have discovered nine new genes associated with breast cancer, the total number to 40 genes, underscoring the complexity of the genetic disease, said ?WordScience.org?. A study published recently in the journal Nature, is part of an international initiative to sequence the genomes of various types of cancer. Breast Cancer Researchers have studied all the genes in the genome of the 100 cases of breast cancer. Mutation causes cancer genes, which are different in different samples of cancer, and breast cancer is genetically very diverse, says Sunil Lakhani, a professor of the Center for Clinical Research at the University of Queensland. "Understanding the implications of this diversity will be important to move towards a more rational treatment," says on.Ideya work is to develop genetic changes in breast cancer in order to understand which genes form a malignant tumor. Recently, we began to realize that breast cancer is not a disease and has several different podtipov.Suschestvuet 40 different cancer genes involved in cancer development and has 73 different combinations, and with each combination of cancer is unique.

JISH, Israel (AP) ? Two villages in the Holy Land's tiny Christian community are teaching Aramaic in an ambitious effort to revive the language that Jesus spoke, centuries after it all but disappeared from the Middle East.
The new focus on the region's dominant language 2,000 years ago comes with a little help from modern technology: an Aramaic-speaking television channel from Sweden, of all places, where a vibrant immigrant community has kept the ancient tongue alive.
In the Palestinian village of Beit Jala, an older generation of Aramaic speakers is trying to share the language with their grandchildren. Beit Jala lies next to Bethlehem, where the New Testament says Jesus was born.
And in the Arab-Israeli village of Jish, nestled in the Galilean hills where Jesus lived and preached, elementary school children are now being instructed in Aramaic. The children belong mostly to the Maronite Christian community. Maronites still chant their liturgy in Aramaic but few understand the prayers.
"We want to speak the language that Jesus spoke," said Carla Hadad, a 10-year-old Jish girl who frequently waved her arms to answer questions in Aramaic from school teacher Mona Issa during a recent lesson.
"We used to speak it a long time ago," she added, referring to her ancestors.
During the lesson, a dozen children lisped out a Christian prayer in Aramaic. They learned the words for "elephant," ''how are you?" and "mountain." Some children carefully drew sharp-angled Aramaic letters. Others fiddled with their pencil cases, which sported images of popular soccer teams.
The dialect taught in Jish and Beit Jala is "Syriac," which was spoken by their Christian forefathers and resembles the Galilean dialect that Jesus would have used, according to Steven Fassberg, an Aramaic expert at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
"They probably would have understood each other," Fassberg said.
In Jish, about 80 children in grades one through five study Aramaic as a voluntary subject for two hours a week. Israel's education ministry provided funds to add classes until the eighth grade, said principal Reem Khatieb-Zuabi.
Several Jish residents lobbied for Aramaic studies several years ago, said Khatieb-Zuabi, but the idea faced resistance: Jish's Muslims worried it was a covert attempt to entice their children to Christianity. Some Christians objected, saying the emphasis on their ancestral language was being used to strip them of their Arab identity. The issue is sensitive to many Arab Muslims and Christians in Israel, who prefer to be identified by their ethnicity, not their faith.
Ultimately, Khatieb-Zuabi, a secular Muslim from an outside village, overruled them.
"This is our collective heritage and culture. We should celebrate and study it," the principal said. And so the Jish Elementary School become the only Israeli public school teaching Aramaic, according to the education ministry.
Their efforts are mirrored in Beit Jala's Mar Afram school run by the Syrian Orthodox church and located just a few miles (kilometers) from Bethlehem's Manger Square.
There, priests have taught the language to their 320 students for the past five years.
Some 360 families in the area descend from Aramaic-speaking refugees who in the 1920s fled the Tur Abdin region of what is now Turkey.
Priest Butros Nimeh said elders still speak the language but that it vanished among younger generations. Nimeh said they hoped teaching the language would help the children appreciate their roots.
Although both the Syrian Orthodox and Maronite church worship in Aramaic, they are distinctly different sects.
The Maronites are the dominant Christian church in neighboring Lebanon but make up only a few thousand of the Holy Land's 210,000 Christians. Likewise, Syrian Orthodox Christians number no more than 2,000 in the Holy Land, said Nimeh. Overall, some 150,000 Christians live in Israel and another 60,000 live in the West Bank.
Both schools found inspiration and assistance in an unlikely place: Sweden. There, Aramaic-speaking communities who descended from the Middle East have sought to keep their language alive.
They publish a newspaper, "Bahro Suryoyo," pamphlets and children's books, including "The Little Prince," and maintain a satellite television station, "Soryoyosat," said Arzu Alan, chairwoman of the Syriac Aramaic Federation of Sweden.
There's also an Aramaic soccer team, "Syrianska FC" in the Swedish top division from the town of Sodertalje. Officials estimate the Aramaic-speaking population at anywhere from 30,000 to 80,000 people.
For many Maronites and Syrian Orthodox Christians in the Holy Land, the television station, in particular, was the first time they heard the language outside church in decades. Hearing it in a modern context inspired them to try revive the language among their communities.
"When you hear (the language), you can speak it," said Issa, the teacher.
Aramaic dialects were the region's vernacular from 2,500 years ago until the sixth century, when Arabic, the language of conquering Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula, became dominant, according to Fassberg.
Linguistic islands survived: Maronites clung to Aramaic liturgy and so did the Syrian Orthodox church. Kurdish Jews on the river island of Zakho spoke an Aramaic dialect called "Targum" until fleeing to Israel in the 1950s. Three Christian villages in Syria still speak an Aramaic dialect, Fassberg said.
With few opportunities to practice the ancient tongue, teachers in Jish have tempered expectations. They hope they can at least revive an understanding of the language.
The steep challenges are seen in the Jish school, where the fourth-grade Aramaic class has just a dozen students. The number used to be twice that until they introduced an art class during the same time slot ? and lost half their students.

LAS VEGAS ? The theme for the Ultimate Fighting Championship lately seems to have been built around bumpy roads to title fights.
And UFC 146 Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas is no different. Heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos puts his title on the line for the first time when he meets two-time former champion Frank Mir. But Mir's path to a shot at his third title is steeped in controversy not of his making.
Dos Santos (14-1, 8-0 UFC), a heavy-handed Brazilian with 12 knockouts on his resume, was scheduled to fight former Strikeforce champ Alistair Overeem, the top contender after beating Brock Lesnar in December. But when Overeem failed a random drug test in April with elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone level at more than twice what the Nevada Athletic Commission allows, he was yanked from the fight.
Mir (16-2, 14-2 UFC), already booked for a fight on the same card, moved up a spot for a chance to add to his legacy just a month before the fight.
"I guess people are looking for me to say something special about it, but a fight's a fight," said Mir, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt regarded as one of the best submission-savvy heavyweights in history. "I was glad I was in good enough shape to take the opportunity."
Dos Santos, for his part, said he doesn't care who he fights as long as it's a level playing field, alluding to Overeem's failed test that has him out until at least December.
"Mir is a really dangerous opponent because he's really good on the ground, he has good striking skills," dos Santos said. "He's a good challenge for me.
"I don't care who is going to be my opponent, but I hope they are fighting like me ? clean."
UFC 146 is the first all-heavyweight main card in UFC history. The preliminary card features a featherweight bout between Diego Brandao, winner of Season 14 of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series, and Darren Elkins, a two-time Indiana state wrestling champion from Hobart who goes after his third straight victory in the division after dropping down from lightweight.

With Baylor's 11-2 win over Kansas State on Friday, the Bears broke the NCAA record for most combined wins by one school's football, men's basketball, women's basketball and baseball teams in one academic year.
The win was Baylor's 124th, passing Texas of 2003-04.
The Bear's football team won 10, men's basketball 30, women's basketball 40 and Friday's win was the baseball team's 44th.
?I've been around long enough to remember the Jim Trabers of the world and the (Jim) Romes of the world questioning Baylor's existence in the Big 12,? Baylor coach Steve Smith said. ?I remember when Art (Briles) got hired, the question from the media to him was, ?Are you convinced Baylor is ready to make the commitment?' I'm sitting there thinking what kind of commitment do we have to make? We've been losing $10 million a year for a number of years. There hasn't been a problem with commitment, there's been a problem with performance.
?It's pretty special to see what's happening right now.?
