By Martin C. DaksLast week, the St. Louis, Mo.-based company said that 61 percent of its New Jersey-related activity was made up of people leaving the state, compared with only 39 percent coming in. This puts the state in third place nationally for outbound moves, trailing Michigan, which posted 67.8 percent outbound, and North Dakota, where 67.2 percent of United’s activity was outbound.
In 2006, when outflows accounted for 60.9 percent of New Jersey activity, the state again ranked third in the nation, beaten only by Michigan and North Dakota, which each posted 66 percent. Since 1977, when United Van Lines first started releasing the report, New Jersey’s outflows have exceeded its inflows except for 1986, when the state’s inflows accounted for 51 percent of the total traffic.
By Scott GoldsteinYo-Yo Waterballs, which also are sold under various other names, are squishy toy balls on a bungee-cord string with a finger loop at one end. The ball is filled with toxic liquids, it is flammable, and the string can become wrapped around a child’s neck, causing strangulation.
“Yo-Yo Waterballs are a commercialized death threat to our children,” said Assemblyman David R. Mayer (D-Gloucester), the bill’s co-sponsor. “They are inherently dangerous and deserve to be banned.”
Assemblyman Paul Moriarty (D-Gloucester), a co-sponsor of the bill, said that “the Yo-Yo Waterball is easily accessible at convenience stores and toy outlets. … We obviously cannot stop a toy manufacturer from producing substandard toys, but we can stop them from turning a profit in New Jersey and causing further harm to our children.”
By João-Pierre RuthWCHR’s owner, Princeton-based Nassau Broadcasting Partners, says it signed a local marketing agreement to broadcast 1050 WEPN-AM’s signal starting mid-month. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Walt Disney Company-owned 1050 ESPN provides coverage of New York Jets professional football, New York Knicks professional basketball, and New York Rangers professional hockey games, as well as Major League Baseball.
WCHR-AM broadcasts to Mercer, Montgomery, Hunterdon, Northampton, Warren and Somerset counties. The station has been broadcasting syndicated Christian bible teachings since 1965. There has been no word on any possible staff changes at the station in light of the new format.
By Scott GoldsteinAnyone forging badges, distributing them or using them face fines of up to $150,000 and 10 years in jail. Those using a false utility badge or attempting to impersonate a utility employee face up to $15,000 in fines and five years in jail. And any public utility employees who allow their identification to be used by others will be subject to fines up to $10,000 and 18 months in jail.
“Electricity-generation plants and other utility facilities are potential terrorist targets and we need to mitigate our state’s vulnerability,” said Assemblyman John Wisniewski (D-Middlesex), a co-sponsor of the bill. “It’s tantamount to a security breach to not have strong penalties in place to punish individuals who pirate utility identification credentials.”
