[h=1]Chicago Woman Attacked With ‘Sock Full of Poop’[/h]
Taylor Berman

Everyone has a subway horror story. In addition to the day-to-day awfulness of crowded rush hour commutes, there are occasional subway parties, flashers, seats filled with mysterious liquids and, sometimes, there's even poo on the floor. But all of that pales in comparison to life on Chicago's Blue Line, where the poo doesn't just harmlessly lie on the floor; instead, as a young Chicago woman recently discovered, it's flung at innocent passengers while inside of a sock.
"He had a sock full of his poop on me," said the 21-year-old college student. "It was everywhere; on my face, my hair, my clothes."
Such was the plight of the unnamed woman who, last week, was attacked by the still at-large assailant. The woman was traveling from her job in Oak Park into the city when the poop thrower boarded her car.
"I wasn't really paying attention," the woman said. In fact, she was on looking at her phone and texting, when the criminal attacked at the next stop without saying a word.
She screamed and, along with a witness, attempted to follow the man, but he was too quick, disappearing before police arrived. For their part, police did look for the man "in and around a gas station," but had no luck. They do, however, have a photo of the perp, who the woman described as "no older than mid-20s, average build, with facial hair above the mouth and on the chin."
"We have photos of the offender and we're seeking to identify him," [a police spokesman] said of images obtained from the CTA. "We've reached out to other [police] agencies and have issued a bulletin."
Small consolation to the woman, though, who said the incident was one of the worst moments of her life. "It was like the biggest degradation I've ever [experienced]. I wish he had just hit me," she said, before adding, grossly, "The worst part is nobody had anything to wipe my face with."

For a fisherman that is total treason.

(Newser) – A New Zealand woman got some profitable revenge on a boyfriend who dumped her and then skipped the country: She sold the locations of his secret (and successful) fishing spots, reports stuff.co.nz. Angela Potter found his GPS markings in her garage after the split and auctioned them off on a site called Trade Me for about $2,500. "When he refused to return my suitcase, that's when I sold his coordinates," she explains. "I didn't list them to be vindictive. I listed them as a bit of a laugh." She is now dating, yes, another fisherman.

What a f-ing idiot



A security check on a US company has reportedly revealed one of its staff was outsourcing his work to China.

The software developer, in his 40s, is thought to have spent his workdays surfing the web, watching cat videos on YouTube and browsing Reddit and eBay.
He reportedly paid just a fifth of his six-figure salary to a company based in Shenyang to do his job.
Operator Verizon says the scam came to light after the US firm asked it for an audit, suspecting a security breach.
According to Andrew Valentine, of Verizon, the infrastructure company requested the operator's risk team last year to investigate some anomalous activity on its virtual private network (VPN) logs.
"This organisation had been slowly moving toward a more telecommuting oriented workforce, and they had therefore started to allow their developers to work from home on certain days. In order to accomplish this, they'd set up a fairly standard VPN concentrator approximately two years prior to our receiving their call," he was quoted as saying on an internet security website.
The company had discovered the existence of an open and active VPN connection from Shenyang to the employee's workstation that went back months, Mr Valentine said.
And it had then called on Verizon to look into what it had suspected had been malware used to route confidential information from the company to China.
"Central to the investigation was the employee himself, the person whose credentials had been used to initiate and maintain a VPN connection from China," said Mr Valentine.
Further investigation of the employee's computer had revealed hundreds of PDF documents of invoices from the Shenyang contractor, he added.
The employee, an "inoffensive and quiet" but talented man versed in several programming languages, "spent less than one fifth of his six-figure salary for a Chinese firm to do his job for him", Mr Valentine said.
"Authentication was no problem. He physically FedExed his RSA [security] token to China so that the third-party contractor could log-in under his credentials during the workday. It would appear that he was working an average nine-to-five work day," he added.
"Evidence even suggested he had the same scam going across multiple companies in the area. All told, it looked like he earned several hundred thousand dollars a year, and only had to pay the Chinese consulting firm about $50,000 (£31,270) annually."
The employee no longer worked at the firm, Mr Valentine said.

Used Enema Plea



JANUARY 18--A Florida man faces upwards of 10 years in federal prison after pleading guilty this week to a revolting product tampering scheme in which he returned used enemas to the CVS pharmacy where he purchased the items.
Ronald Robinson, 35, entered his guilty plea to a single felony tampering charge during an appearance Wednesday in U.S. District Court in
Jacksonville. A sentencing date has not been set for Robinson, who has been jailed since last year.
As detailed by prosecutors in a January 16 court filing, Robinson’s tampering occurred between April and June 2012 and involved his repeated purchase of enemas (six to a box) from a CVS in Jacksonville.
After using the enemas, Robinson (seen in the above mug shot) placed them back into their boxes, resealed the containers, and returned the products for refunds. The used enemas were then reshelved by CVS workers and later sold to other customers.
Robinson was collared after a CVS employee became suspicious about the frequency with which he was returning enema packages. On one occasion, Robinson told the worker that he had purchased the enemas for his mother, but “she no longer needed them,” according to a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office report. When the worker examined the returned box, he “observed that all the enemas were used” and that the bottom of the package had been “re-glued…so that it appeared that it had not been opened.”
After learning of the tampering, federal agents identified “several purchasers of the used enemas.” Investigators subsequently identified “several more purchasers” of the tampered enema boxes. Court filings do not reveal how many of the CVS customers used the tainted enemas (some of which were found to contain fecal matter).
A Food and Drug Administration doctor advised federal investigators that infections and communicable diseases--like HIV, salmonella, and the hepatitis B and C viruses--could be transmitted via used enemas. Robinson’s guilty plea includes the acknowledgement that the tampering was done with “reckless disregard that another person would be placed in danger of death or bodily injury.”
In addition to a maximum prison term of 10 years, Robinson could face a $250,000 fine and a probation term of up to three years. A judge could also order Robinson, who has a lengthy rap sheet, to pay restitution to his victims. (6 pages)
