Shuman Law Firm today announced that it is investigating potential
claims against certain officers and directors of Volt Information

The Firm’s investigation focuses on the Company’s ongoing inability to

issues. The exact nature of the accounting errors has not been
disclosed. Since then, the company has failed to file a financial
statement. These actions have resulted in the May, 2011 removal of the
Company’s stock from listing by the New York Stock Exchange.

Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, had resigned his

Port Authority Police Benevolent Association Announces the Promotion of Lieutenant John Ryan to Port Authority Police Chief of Department 18 May 2012, 15.43 ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J.--(Business Wire)
Governor Andrew Cuomo and Governor Chris Christie’s representatives have
demonstrated, once again, their commitment to reforming the Port
Authority. Executive Director Pat Foye and Deputy Director Bill Baroni
continue to make bold moves on behalf of the Governors to restore the
public’s trust in the agency.
The Port Authority Police Department has not been in such disrepair
since the devastation of the September 11th attacks on the
World Trade Center. That attack, which claimed the lives of nearly 3,000
innocent people, including 37 brave men and women of the PAPD, was the
largest, single-event, loss of life for a police department in the
history of American law enforcement.
Chief of Department John Ryan served as the day, tour commander for the
entire World Trade Center rescue and recovery operation. Chief Ryan, one
of the PAPD’s most decorated members has received numerous citations for
exceptional police work, dedication to duty and bravery. He is a proven
leader who, along with Superintendant of Police Michael Fedorko, the PBA
looks forward to working with to restore the PAPD as one of the New
York/New Jersey metropolitan area’s premier police departments.
