On August 31st officers were dispatched to a W. Franklin Street Business in reference to a complaint that a customer had “hacked” into the businesses computer.

An employee of the business advised that a male subject was in the business. The male subject told her he had “hacked” into the business system in five minutes. He also told the employee he changed the user name and password. He told the employee he knew all of the employee’s personal information and where they lived. The male subject stated he would not share that information with anyone. The male subject also had other information reference the business. The employee stated the male subject then then told her he was with “E.P.D. I.T.”. The employee then asked for his badge. The male subject would not show her anything. When he did get into his wallet, he kept it so she could not see it at all.

The male subject then told the employee he could change it all back but it would be $150.00. The male subject then left the business.

A police officer when asked will always show both their badge and department identification. There is a person of interest in this incident. Detectives are following up on information. Anyone with information on this subject or any similar instances is asked to call E.P.D. detectives at (812) 436-7979 or WeTip at 1-800-78-CRIME (800 782-7463).

Computer Forensic detectives from the Evansville Police Department have these tips for those that use wireless router systems. They want everyone to remember that out of the box routers are not set up for security. For businesses they recommend some of the following steps when setting up routers:

Change the default login user name and password. Use a strong password containing numbers, letters and symbols.

Change the default SSID. This is the unique name that identifies the router. Use something “hackers” would not be interested in.

Use a high level encryption. Many routers use WEP encryption which has some flaws. Instead use WPA and above.

Turn the router off when not in use.

Keep your router’s firmware upgraded.

Enable the routers firewall.

Enable router logging. Make sure to review logs and look for information regarding intrusions.

If a business still has concerns on set up they suggest that the business hire a professional that specializes in cyber security. A little bit of cost now could save a lot of cost from a network intrusion.

On August 22, 2015 Indiana State Police investigators arrested Carnelle Dewayne Rutledge on charges filed in Marion County for Corrupt Business Influence, a Class C Felony and Theft, a Class C Felony. Rutledge is accused of defrauding an Indianapolis woman out of more than $128,000 after meeting her on an online dating site. The arrest occurred near his Ft. Wayne, Indiana home.

Information obtained during the investigation revealed that Rutledge allegedly met the victim on the “Plenty of Fish” online dating site. He is accused of fraudulently portraying himself as a sports agent and stealing more than $128,000 from her in a four month period between September and December 2011. He allegedly told the woman the money was used for business purposes that involved high profile sports figures such as NBA player Zach Randolph of the Memphis Grizzly’s and NFL Indianapolis Colts prospect, Andrew Luck. Rutledge told the victim that she would be repaid. Two other individuals that were introduced to the victim as Damon Bryant and Debra Thomas may be involved in this crime.

The sports personalities are victims as well in that their names were used to perpetuate the crime without their knowledge and they have no connection to the suspect.

Anyone with information regarding potential victims who may have been defrauded through this alleged scam or similar activity is asked to contact Sergeant Jack W. Bedan, of the Indiana State Police at (317) 232-6867.

Defying court, Kentucky clerk denies gay-marriage licenses ‘under God’s authority’

0

The Washington Post

By Jim Higdon, J. Freedom du Lac and Sarah Larimer

 

Citing “God’s authority,” Kim Davis, the elected clerk of Kentucky’s Rowan County, refused to issue marriage licenses to several same-sex couples Tuesday — just hours after the Supreme Court ruled against her request to be excused from issuing such licenses.

April Miller and Karen Roberts were the first couple through the courthouse door — and the first to be rejected.

They were followed by David Ermold and David Moore, who have been rejected multiple times in Rowan County.

“I feel like I’ve been humiliated on such a national level,” Ermold told the Associated Press.

Davis did not make an appearance at the counter as the first couples streamed in, leaving employees to deny the licenses on her behalf. A woman at counter said Davis was “doing reports.”

When Davis emerged, she declared that she was not issuing any licenses.

“Under whose authority?” she was asked.

“Under God’s authority,” she said.
Amid competing chants of “Do your job!” and “Praise the Lord!” Davis asked the rejected applicants to leave the courthouse.

[Supreme Court rules gay couples nationwide have a right to marry]

The AP reported that another couple, James Yates and Will Smith Jr., were “red-eyed and shaking” as they left Tuesday morning, after being denied a license.

Ermold and Moore have previously documented their efforts to secure a license in Rowan County, which is located about an hour from Lexington. A video of a July attempt has more than 1,800,000 views on YouTube; another trip to the courthouse was recorded in mid-August.

Rowan County Sheriff Matt Sparks told the couples there was nothing he could do, saying the matter was in the hands of the federal courts.

“She will likely be found in contempt, as we know,” the sheriff said.

As The Washington Post reported Monday night, the high court turned away a request by Davis, who faces fines or even jail time if she doesn’t begin issuing marriage licenses Tuesday.

[How years of efforts across the nation converged in a victory on gay marriage]

Davis, an Apostolic Christian who opposes same-sex marriage, has argued that doing so would violate her religious liberties. Her husband, Joe Davis, also visited the county courthouse Tuesday, and told AP that his wife was “standing for God.”

“I’m an old redneck hillbilly, that’s all I’ve got to say,” Joe Davis, who said his wife has gotten threats against her life, told AP. “Don’t come knocking on my door.”
As The Post reported previously, Davis’s resistance has led to the most prominent of a number of legal skirmishes that have broken out since the high court decided in June that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. The ruling was implemented relatively smoothly at first but lately has encountered resistance, particularly in the South.

[How kids became the strongest argument for same-sex marriage]

Davis — who stopped issuing licenses to all couples, gay and straight — had not indicated late Monday how she would respond to the court’s decision. If she refuses to comply, she could be held in contempt, leading to daily fines or jail time. At a recent rally, Davis adopted a defiant tone, asking for prayers to “stand firm.”

6 Tips for Writing a Better Resume

0

By Steve Ford

Most job seekers approach writing a resume, and their job search strategy, the wrong way. They begin by listing their job chronology as their resume, including just about everything they have done in their jobs such as experience that isn’t really relevant to the position they are seeking. They then start sending out a resume that does not show why they are qualified for that position and isn’t in a format that enables the recruiter to quickly understand what they bring to that position and to the organization.

Job seekers need to understand what organizations want to see in a resume. They need to target their resume to the type of job they want by emphasizing the skills and experience they bring to the position. I recommend that you remember these basic rules:

  1. Your resume is not your job history; it is selling you to an organization to fill a specific role. You need to emphasize the skills, accomplishments and training that will convince the organization you can do the job. Do not include other experience that is not relevant to the position.
  2. Identify what organizations seek for that type of position by doing some market research. Read a number of job descriptions for that kind of job on www.indeed.com or www.simplyhired.com. You will quickly understand what you need to emphasize in your resume.
  3. Most resumes have a life of 7 to 10 seconds in a recruiter’s hand. If you can grab them in the top half of the first page in a Summary of what you bring to that position, then they will read the rest of the resume. You need to effectively summarize what you bring to that position.
  4. Don’t list each job separately if they are for the same organization; it appears from a quick scan that you have held too many jobs. Group your positions under one heading showing your career growth and success within that organization.
  5. Every organization wants to hire the candidate who not only has the experience for the position but also has been successful. Show promotions, list awards or recognition even from associations. Don’t undersell your accomplishments. Review your past annual evaluations for accomplishments.
  6. Remember that LinkedIn  is your online resume and should be very similar to your written resume. The Summary on your resume and on LinkedIn should contain the same information. Hiring managers sometimes look at a candidate’s LinkedIn profile to see if the experience listed is the same as what they see on the resume.
