Governor : Embatcled McGreevey may be forced out of office early
Continued from page 2A
managed Reverend Al
Sharpton’s mayoral cam
paifin, disagrees with that
an cé'sis, saying that
McGreevey attempted to use
his éay status as a means of
shifting attention from a
corruption scandal that
allegedly involved putting
the man who he had a sexu
al relationship with on the
public payrolr
Golan Cipel, an Israeli,

McGreevey's administration,

Eliminating spam requires team effort
(NAPSI)-Online sales
pitches for home mort
gages, human growth
hormones, dating servic
es and, in some cases,
hardcore pornography
are deluging e-mail
inboxes. This flood of
so-called spam now
reportedly accounts for
more than half of all e
mail.
Spam is more than just
frustrating; it can con
tain computer viruses,
worms or other mali
cious cade that is
designed to damage com
puter networks, files and
hard drives. Some spam
is designed to download
programs onto recipi
ents’ computers that
track their Internet
activity and report the
information to online
marketers. New anti
spam laws have made it
harder for spammers to
ply their trade. But these
laws can’t stop spam
entirely. Luckily, there
are high-tech and low
tech ways to complete
the job.
New filtering technolo
gies such as those in the
MSN Hotmail e-mail
service, for example,
eliminate billions of
pieces of spam each day.
This technology, also
found in other e-mail
programs such as
Microsoft Office Out
look 2003, can be con
tinually trained by com
puter users to pinpoint
spam. This enables the
filter to evolve with the
tactics of spammers.
Computer users who
don’t take the time to set
up these filters or edu
cate themselves on other
ways to help thwart spam
may become the next
victims of spyware or
other malicious software
that can be spread via
spam. Here are 'a few
ways computer users can
help protect themselves:
+ Get familiar with fil
ters. Computer users
should learn how to use a
spam filter and set it to
the level they are com
fortable with-high, to
keep out all unfamiliar
mail, or low, to receive
most or all of what is
sent to them.
v Dont buy, dant
reply-just delete. No
matter how enticing or
interesting the offer,
computer users should
never respond to spam.
Even offers to remove
the recipient’s e-mail
address from mailing
lists can be a way for
land Security for the state.
He was later re-appointed to
another state position after
reporters questioned his cre
dentials for the job.
In a statement released last
week, Cipel said that he was
a victim of McGreevey’s
repeated sexual advances,
acfiiing that he lacked the
“strength to disentangle
myselF from such an opFres
sive environment and from
such a manipulative per
son.
Some blacks, including
DeGeraft, say that
McGreevey should put the
spammers to authenti
cate active e-mail
accounts.

options. It’s best to

depart office before his
announced November 15
date.
“The reality is that for
many blacks who are
Democrats, there is a feeling
that he has hurt the
Farty,"said DeGraff. “black
olks are saying, ‘We are dis
appointed. You vigorously
courted our vote and then
you failed to uphold the
minimal standards of public
office.””
DeGraff said that
McGreevey's failure to step

“But McGreevey was in seri

this scandal.”
Those scandals included
campaign donations and
botcfmcf political appoint
ments.
But for Sabrina Harris, 21,
of Newark, the biggest scan
dal McGreevey mfic was his
decision to oust Baraka.
McGreevey called on
Baraka to resign from the
poet-laureate post for writ

governor called “anti-Semit

resign, McGreevey urged the
state legislature to pass legis
lation abolishing the posi
tion, effectively terminating
the poet. In July of last year
McGreevey signed into law a
bill abolishing the position.
Last April, Baraka filed a
federal lawsuit against
McGreevey.
