Sexting usually refers to teens
sharing nude photos via cellphone, but its happening on other
devices and the Web too. The practice can have serious legal and
psychological consequences, so teens and adults consider
these tips!
Its illegal:
Dont take or send nude or sexually suggestive photos of
yourself or anyone else. If you do, even if theyre of you or
you pass along someone elses you could be charged with
producing or distributing child pornography. If you keep them on
your phone or computer you could be charged with possession. If
they go to someone in another state (and that happens really
easily), its a federal felony.
Non-legal
consequences: Then theres the
emotional (and reputation) damage that can come from having
intimate photos of yourself go to a friend who can become an
ex-friend and send it to everyone you know. Not only can they be
sent around; they can be distributed and archived online for
people to search for pretty much forever.
Not just on phones.
Sexting can be done on any media-sharing device or technology
including email and the Web. Teens have been convicted for child
porn distribution for emailing sexually explicit photos to each
other.
Many causes.
In some cases, kids are responding to peer pressure in a form of
cyberbullying or pressure from a boyfriend or girlfriend (they
break up, and sometimes those photos get sent around out of
revenge). Sometimes its impulsive behavior, flirting, or even
blackmail. Its always a bad idea.

There is a growing perception that
increasing numbers of New Jerseyans are cashing out and moving to
lower-cost, more-affordable states, or establishing permanent residence
in low-tax states while continuing to maintain a New Jersey home.
Unfortunately, this perception is statistically confirmed by recent
Census Bureau and Internal Revenue Service data. The population outflow
is very real, and our analyses show it is already exerting a small but
increasing negative impact on the New Jersey economy.
Census Bureau data reveal a sharp downturn in New Jersey's population
growth in the 2002-2006 period and a sharp upturn in the number of
people leaving the state. In 2002, the state's population increased by
79,184 persons. The absolute population growth declined steadily in the
next four years. It was up only 63,144 in 2003, 56,467 in 2004, and
32,759 in 2005. By 2006, the state's population growth was just 21,410
persons. A simple extrapolation of this trend indicates New Jersey would
experience an absolute population loss in 2008.
Three factors - births minus deaths, international migration and
national migration - go into calculating these numbers.
The overall deceleration in the growth rate has been caused by the sharp
acceleration in the number of New Jerseyans moving to other states -
national migration. In 2002, New Jersey had a net outflow 23,759 people
- that is 23,759 more people moved from New Jersey to other states than
people from the rest of the country moved into New Jersey. The losses
accelerated over the next four years: 33,225 in 2003, 45,045 in 2004,
and 56,989 in 2005. By 2006, the new outflow was 72,547 persons. A
simple extrapolation of this trend suggests that New Jersey would have a
net outflow of over 100,000 persons in 2009.
These losses are starting to have significant economic and fiscal
consequences. Internal Revenue Service data on tax filers and their
dependents show a substantial loss of income in the state. New Jersey's
2005 net aggregate adjusted gross income (AGI) was reduced by an
estimated $7.9 billion because of the net loss of tax payers between
2000 and 2005. Our estimates of continued out migration indicate that
our AGI was reduced by over $10 billion in 2006. In essence, because of
the cumulative net outflow of taxpayers, $10 billion was removed from
the New Jersey economy in 2006, reducing consumer expenditures,
employment, and state and local taxes.
All this translated into a total direct and indirect tax loss (state
income and sales taxes) of $539 million in 2005. Based on 2006
population out migration data, the tax losses are estimated to have
increased to $680 million in 2006.
Why the outflow? Decisions to move are complex, but there are several
factors that may prove influential. New Jersey and the Northeast once
had a near monopoly on high-paying knowledge-based jobs. However, the
current decade has seen improved relative economic opportunity
elsewhere, with knowledge-based jobs growing far faster in the southern
Atlantic states for example.
The stock market was soaring in
2005 when Jon Corzine ran for governor and vowed to put New
Jersey on sound fiscal footing after two decades of questionable
budget moves by governors of both parties.
The Wall Street veteran pitched property tax relief as a prelude
to tax reform. He said he would tackle state debt. He declared
the road to sound finances was paved with full payments into New
Jersey's massive pension system. And he swore off the tradition
of using one-shot moves and budget "gimmicks" to balance the
books.
But now the economy is in tatters, and Corzine has had to change
his financial strategy, proposing a slashed-to-the-bone $29.8
billion budget while delaying or shelving many of the key fiscal
promises he made in better days.
Politicians and political observers say it is this change of
course that is likely to frame the battle for the Statehouse in
November. The Republicans are already citing Corzine's broken
budget promises, while the Democratic governor says a national
emergency forced him to make choices he never imagined. He says
that while specific goals have not been met, he has kept the one
overarching vow he made to voters in 2005: that he would manage
the state prudently.
"I made a campaign promise that we'd try to be fiscally
responsible within the means that we have," Corzine said. "The
fact is that we've made choices that try to stabilize as best we
can with the resources we have."
Former U.S. attorney Chris Christie, a leading Republican
gubernatorial candidate, says the economy is no excuse.
"He wonders why people are so cynical in New Jersey," Christie
said.
The economy and questions about Corzine's performance are likely
to cost him votes this year, said retired Democratic strategist
Bob Shrum, a close friend and adviser to the governor. However,
Shrum believes voters will hear Corzine's message that, in
terrible times, he is doing what he can.
"I don't think voters are that dumb. They understand what's
going on nationally," Shrum said. "Before the end of the
campaign, people are going to understand that he's been fiscally
prudent."
With the entire Assembly up for election in the fall, Speaker
Joseph Roberts said Democrats will unite around that message.
"I think much more than about broken promises is the fact that
the national economy has broken down," said Roberts. "I don't
think anyone could've foreseen this coming."
With the popularity and rise in use of instant messaging, Internet chat rooms and text messaging came the emergence of a new language tailored to the immediacy and compactness of these new communication media. If you have ever been in a chat room or received an instant message or text message from someone that seemed to be in its own foreign language, this list will help you decipher the lingo.
You have probably seen an increase in the amount of "junk mail" which shows up in your email box, or on your favorite newsgroup. The activities of a small number of people are becoming a bigger problem for the Internet. We have been actively engaged in fighting spam for years. Since we presented this site to the public in 1996, we have been pleased to be referenced as one of the best anti-spam sites on the net. Help fight spam to keep the Internet useful for everyone. Take advantage of the information we've gathered to make your own experience on the Internet better.
Cleansing our inboxes of spam was supposed to get easier following passage of the nation's sweeping antispam law, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act. The law, which celebrates its first anniversary in January, requires (among other things) that recipients be allowed to opt out of being included in a marketing mailing list, simply by clicking a link on an e-mail notice from the marketer. In addition, the CAN-SPAM Act establishes harsh penalties for senders whose e-mail messages fail to meet its requirements.
Starting on August 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of NJ Law 39:3-29 (failure to show your driver's license, registration, or insurance card at the time you are stopped) is going from $44.00 to $173.00. Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in them. If you jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet with your license in it and you are stopped.... Oh well..., you just spent $173! And the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!! Forward to people in NJ, and let them know of this change. And be careful!
Negative thoughts, feelings, opinions, and comments are normal. Each of us thinks and expresses negative thoughts every day. Often the negatives illuminate problems that need to be addressed. When handled properly, they can lead to positive changes. But when negativity becomes chronic, systemic, nonproductive, and destructive, its a problem in the workplace.
It is a great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual, he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the worlds believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions. by: Thomas Jefferson
