Radio Talk
One guy who didn't identify himself held up a huge four-way sign using a clothes hanging mechanism. I'll post the photos once I get home. Roger Fisher, a 43-year-old College Park construction builder (above), said he enjoys Schaffer. "He's truthful," he said. "He shoots from the heart. He tells you the way he feels." He said when he heard about what CNN did, "I almost cried." When he watched it, "I had to turn away." He normally listens to talk radio and watchs Fox News but occasionally checks in with CNN "to get the other side."

Credit info breached at Not Your Average Joe's restaurant chain
Someone hacked into the security system of the Not Your Average Joe's restaurant chain and stole credit card information from customers of all 13 of its Massachusetts locations.
The thefts occurred in August or September and were discovered at the Hyannis store, said Diana Pisciotta, spokeswoman for the Dartmouth-based company.
While less than 1 percent of the 350,000 customers during that time period were affected, Pisciotta said, some of the victims ate at the Newburyport, Methuen and Beverly locations.
Pisciotta said customers' names, credit card numbers and expiration dates were taken, but victims were not at risk for identity theft. While purchases can be made with the information, it can't be used to obtain identification or open new accounts.
Symantec Portfolio Enhanced With Vontu Acquisition, Partners Say
Solution providers say that Symantec's impending acquisition of data loss prevention vendor Vontu could grow sales, but question the impact on business in the short term. Some solution providers hope that more security options contained under one roof with the Symantec Vontu purchase will bolster and strengthen their existing partnerships. "I'm hoping it might be the catalyst to stimulate the relationship process," said David Dadian, CEO of powersolution.com in HoHoKus, N.J., an 11-year Symantec partner. "From the Symantec side of things, we'd like to see everything come into one house. It would make things so much easier." "It will be interesting to see how it plays out," he added. Other solution providers say that clients are just beginning to realize the need for DLP.

Small track, big questions
At least he was smart enough to shut up at that point. (Or perhaps by the third train, someone at NJ Transit finally realized they should open more doors, but at that point, we didn't trust anyone in authority.)
�Bottom line - we finally got on the third train, life and limbs okay, and departed for NY City at 7:15 -- more than an hour after we had reached the station.
�NJ Transit had three years to plan for this even, and virtually everyone on board had purchased the advanced tickets from Monmouth Park, so they knew how many people to expect. And unlike the Derby, where there are races after the big race (so everyone doesn't leave at once), NJ Transit people should have been prepared for everyone to arrive at the same time. At CD, they set up an organized queue for the buses -- why didn't NY Transit do this? Why didn't they prepare to have all train doors open to more efficiently -- and safely -- fill the trains and get them on their way?
�It was a mad house and BC, Monmouth Park and NJ Transit are very fortunate no one was hurt or killed.
W.Va. Cases Stem From Use Of Social Security Numbers
ELKINS, W. VA. � Six of eleven people arrested on immigration charges at a Pilgrim�s Pride plant in August pleaded guilty to false representation of Social Security numbers in federal court in Elkins, W.Va. Two of the cases were dismissed and three of the suspects failed to appear, according to Fawn Thomas, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney�s Office in Elkins. Jose Luis Perez-Salazar, 26, of Mexico, pleaded guilty Monday to false representation of a Social Security number. Judge Robert Maxwell, presiding in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, sentenced him to one year on probation. Perez-Salazar �may or may not be in the country illegally. That will be determined by immigration court,� said Fawn Thomas, spokeswoman for the U.S.
