System Administration: Maximizing Linux Security: Part 2
Besides password protection, file ownerships and protection modes are the other major component of traditional UNIX security. Although far from a perfect solution, a carefully set up and maintained file-system will provide a great deal of protection from harm in the event that a non-root account is compromised. File-system security includes these considerations:
Correct ownerships and protections for system files: command binaries, shared libraries, and so on. Such files generally should be owned by root or another system user like bin and by a system group such as system or bin. They should not be group, or world, writable. Some files, such as the shadow password file, should be restricted to owner access only.
The same considerations apply to the directories where system files are stored. Keep in mind that write access to a directory allows you to modify any file within it regardless of the ownership or protections of the individual file (although SETGID access on a directory restricts users' access to their own files, as for /tmp).
SETUID and SETGID files deserve special scrutiny. They should be kept to a minimum and be thoroughly tested prior to installation. Any newly appearing SETUID root files should be regarded with extreme suspicion. The following command will locate all SETUID and SETGID files on the system:
# find / -type f \ \( -perm -2000 -o -perm -4000 \) -ls
User home directory trees should also contain no group, or world-writable subdirectories.
User login and shell configurations files—.login, .profile, .cshrc, and so on—should also be owned by each user and writable only by their owner.
Group memberships must be designed with care so that users are given access only to those files and directories they need.
Any tampering with system binaries, libraries, configuration files, and other vital data must be detected right away.
All of these can be summarized into just two overriding principles:
Know what normal is (and get your system to that state). This is made somewhat more difficult on Linux systems because there is considerable variation in system file ownership among the various distributions, so you will have to make some of those decisions yourself.
Make sure it stays that way by continuously monitoring it and performing regular backups.
The Tripwire facility from the COAST project at Purdue University can take care of the second step. Tripwire can record the correct state of the file-system and then, some time later, compare the current configuration with the saved one and report on any differences. It can consider external attributes of a file such as its ownership, protection, size, inode number (this would change if a file were replaced using standard UNIX commands), inode creation date, and file modification date.
However, since it is possible to modify a file without changing any of these items, Tripwire also calculates a number of file signatures for each file. In general, a file signature is a value computed using the contents of the file. Tripwire can compute file signatures using up to 10 different algorithms of varying complexity and corresponding difficulty in forging.
While it is possible to alter a file and still retain the same file signature for a single algorithm—in fact, it is relatively easy to do so for lower quality file signatures such as traditional checksums—altering a file without changing two or more different file signatures is a very hard problem indeed. When Tripwire checks the file-system, it can compare multiple file signatures for each file, thereby virtually ensuring that any alteration will be detected.
Tripwire has been ported to Linux, and it builds easily. After you have finished compiling the executables, it is important to run the test suite the package provides to ensure that everything is operating properly. The following command initiates the test suite:
# make test
To get started, you first run Tripwire in its initialization mode (tripwire -init). It is essential that you do so on a system known to be clean; ideally, Linux will have been reinstalled from the original media. In this mode, Tripwire creates a database listing the current attributes and file signatures you have requested for the files specified in its configuration file. During this initial run, you should compute as many different file signatures as you have CPU cycles to apply, including at least two different highly secure algorithms. You should also set up the configuration file to include as much of the system as possible, so you'll have data even for files you won't necessarily be watching on a regular basis should you ever need it.
The database will need to be similarly updated whenever an operating system upgrade occurs (given the rebuild rate for Linux kernels, that could be pretty often on some systems). Once the database is created, it must be stored in such a way that it cannot be tampered with under any circumstances (otherwise, a hacker could, for example, replace a file and also alter the information corresponding to it in the database). The Tripwire documentation suggests placing it on physically write-protected media, such as a locked diskette or removable disk, which is taken out of the drive when it is not in use. When the database is protected in this way, even changes made from a compromised root account can be detected. If possible, the Tripwire software itself should also be similarly protected.
After the initial database is created, Tripwire may be used to check the integrity of the file-system. How regularly you run Tripwire in this mode depends on the needs of your system and site, but I would recommend doing so nightly if at all possible. Figure 1 gives an example of the sort of report that Tripwire produces.
deleted: -rwxr-xr-x root 77828 Aug 23 22:45:43 1995 /usr/bin/refer added: -rwxr-xr-x root 10056 Mar 19 12:33:11 1995 /etc/passwd.save changed: -rwxr-xr-x root 155160 Apr 28 15:56:37 1995 /usr/bin/perl ### Attr Observed (what it is) Expected (what it should be) ### =========== ============================= ============================= /usr/bin/perl st_size: 155160 439400 st_mtime: Fri Feb 17 12:10:47 1995 Fri Apr 28 12:33:11 1995 md5 (sig1): 1Th46QB8YvkFTfiGzhhLsG 2MIGPzGWLxt6aEL.GXrbbM>
On this system, the executable for the refer command is missing, a new file (/etc/passwd.save) has appeared (from Tripwire's point of view, anyway), and the executable for Perl has changed size, modification time, and file signature (computed with the MD5 algorithm). All these changes are important and should be investigated, although none of them conclusively indicates unauthorized activities (refer could have been deleted accidentally, /etc/passwd.save could have been created as a backup by a system administrator, and Perl could have been rebuilt since Tripwire's database was last updated).
Tripwire's configuration file (conventionally named tw.config) is very flexible and allows you to specify exactly what files and directories are checked and what attributes and/or file signatures are compared, in as much detail as you like.
Tripwire does an excellent job of monitoring the file-system for any changes. However, there are other system functions that also bear watching. The Computer Oracle and Password System (COPS) performs several useful tests of system security, and I recommend obtaining it and running it regularly. COPS is most useful for checking the following items:
The syntax and content of the password and group files.
Anonymous ftp setup.
User environments: umask values and PATH variable definitions as defined in users' login configuration files.
Searches for known-to-be-insecure versions of commands by comparing the dates of system executables with data from CERT advisories.
In addition to Tripwire and COPS, the following other facilities can be very useful for system security monitoring:
The /var/adm/sulog file, which contains records of each use of the su command (successful and unsuccessful). It should be examined regularly.
The syslog facility: many subsystems log messages via syslog. Its configuration file, /etc/syslog.conf, specifies what types of messages are recorded as well as their destination log file.
Data gathered by the optional accounting facility can be useful for some kinds of detective work. In order to use this subsystem, you will need to install the accounting and quota kernel patches, rebuild the kernel, and compile programs in the accounting utilities package.
The Computer Incident Advisory Capability (CIAC) has created the Merlin program as an easy-to-use graphical front end to several security monitoring packages including COPS, Crack and Tripwire.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

---- — CHESTERFIELD — An unexpected small microburst comes through the area, leaving hikers and rock climbers injured on one of the area's most visited mountains.
It could happen, said Christopher Bresett, assistant team leader for the Adirondack Regional Technical Rescue Task Force. And that entity keeps on its toes, ready to assist.
The Task Force will hold its third-annual fall technical-rescue training day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29, at Poke-O-Moonshine Mountain.
The scenario, Bresett said in a news release, is that a fast-moving storm hits the area without warning while the mountain is full of hikers, as well as rock climbers on its South Slab. The storm leaves many people injured on the trails, as well one climber stranded on the slab itself, requiring a rope rescue.
Rescuers will employ search-and-rescue canines to find the victims, wilderness first-responders to assess patients and carry-out crews to assist victims out.
The mock operation will also include two teams helping to rescue the stranded climber. One crew will climb to the top of the slab and hoist down a stokes litter and medical personnel, while a climbing team will go up from the bottom to reach the person quickly and do any stabilization needed.
The Task Force is a group of neighboring fire departments, search and rescue teams and the State Department of Environmental Conservation. Members are all trained in various degrees of technical rescue, among them swift-water, ice-water and rope rescue.
For more information, call Bresett at 335-8077.

Unfortunately the wife doesn't like the 70's so those undoubtedly have to go. So that leaves me with the CS20 and 301's. I had the idea of possibly replacing the 301's with the RC85i in wall speakers. How would these compare? I personally think the 301's sound pretty good, but I would like an in wall semi-hidden system. Would I be missing much if anything?

I enjoy these scissors. They work well
I am a nursing student and for the price this product is excellent!
just what the doctor ordered
I use them in my clinicals, good for the price, but not great quality
I had a wonderful, hassle-free buying experience with AllHeart. My product was shipped without incidence, arrived sooner than expected, and in great condition.These little bandage scissors can be a nurse's best friend, and can make you pretty popular on the floor with the PA's and physicians, as often times no one seems to have a pair handy. They are comfortable to use, and are sharp enough to get the job done the first time. I love the different colors to choose from, because I was able to feel different by putting my personal touch on thems so I didnt feel so generic, all the while providing me with a sense of uniformity.

7800 Golden Valley Rd, Golden Valley, MN 55427
Golden Valley City Hall, located near the intersection of Winnetka Avenue and Golden Valley Road since 1959, is a…More one-stop shop for the city's 20,000 residents. City Hall houses the city council chambers, a number of meeting rooms and the following city departments: administrative services; the city manager's office; inspections (where people buy permits); motor vehicle licensing; planning, zoning and economic development; and public works.
Yet City Hall offers people so much more. Not only can visitors purchase postcards, mugs and maps of the city; they can also get a glimpse into Golden Valley's past. An exhibit on the second floor displays some historical artifacts related to the city, including a large map from when Golden Valley was nothing but farmland. City residents often examine the map to see whose farm once occupied the land where their homes are currently located.

Does Joe Mauer have the capability to hit for more power?
Steiny: Joe absolutely has an impact on the pitchers and the outcome of the game. He has tremendous experience, and he's very good back there. We want him back there as much as he can be, but to keep him healthy, he can't be back there every day -- no catcher can. You just can't catch 162 games. So we'll try to make matchups accordingly and put Doumit in there when it works out. But Joe's fantastic.
Bruno: I don't pay attention to win/loss records in Spring Training. I want the players to develop every day. Sometime a pitcher might be working on stuff, so we don't regard wins and losses. We still play to win so we feel like we're a winning team.
Bruno: The best hitters, like Joe, make hitting look so easy. And that's saying something. First, they have a gift, but they also keep it simple. They have simple mechanics. There isn't a lot of stress. They also trust their ability. Confidence is key.
Bruno: Hicks is a switch hitter. He has a good, strong core. Good base. I see 10-20 homers until he learns his true potential. Parmelee is a little more advanced, 15-25 homer potential. [He said a whole bunch more good stuff about both players, but he was talking so fast, I couldn't keep up.]
Bruno: It's a different approach with each. For expample, if there's a runner at second, we're not going to ask Hammer to ground out on the right side to move the runner over. His approach is always going to be the same -- drive the ball. With Florimon, he may have to shorten his swing and avoid high pitches in order to get the grounder to move runners over. He's getting better with his command of the strike zone.
Steiny: [Pretty much the same answer as before.] Also, keep track of the opponent's running game. Decide when to call a pitch out or a throw over to first.
Steiny: I'm the new kid on the block, so I'm doing everything I can to tap into these guys and use them as a resource. We're good friends. I'm always asking for advice. The key is we all check our egos at the door. We always learn. Everyone wants to win.
I apologize in advance if I get any of this wrong. Also, my phone rang a few moments after the call started, so I think I missed the first question.

Thursday, September 26, 2013 —
RALEIGH – Eric Baptist of Charlotte got an early birthday present on Tuesday as he claimed a $750,000 prize on his Jumbo Bucks ticket. Baptist, who turns 69 years old this week, plans to use the money to purchase a home for the first time in his life.
"We have been renting for years," Baptist said.
"I've always wanted a house of my own and now we can get it. I'm still trying to comprehend this. I'm just so grateful."
On Sunday afternoon, Baptist and his wife decided to purchase a $10 Jumbo Bucks ticket at the Food Lion on Mt. Holly-Huntersville Road in Charlotte. After realizing they had won the game's top prize, they drove to the lottery's regional office in Charlotte on Monday to have their ticket verified.
"The whole time I kept thinking 'It can't be real.' This sort of thing doesn't happen to us," Baptist said.
"After they scanned the ticket, they told us we had to drive to Raleigh to claim the prize. This feels so great. It's a wonderful blessing."
Baptist said he also plans to use a portion of his winnings, worth $510,003 after state and federal taxes were withheld, to purchase a new car and share with his grandchildren. As of Wednesday afternoon, two top prizes remain to be claimed in the Jumbo Bucks game.
As of June 2013, the lottery has raised more than $2.9 billion to support education programs. Lottery dollars support teachers' salaries in grades K-3, school construction and repair projects, prekindergarten programs for at-risk four-year-olds, college scholarships and financial aid based on need and digital learning initiatives.

Tour de France winner Alberto Contador is going to have to come up with a better explanation for why he failed a drug test than tainted meat.
The World-Anti Doping Agency (WADA) rejected the Spanish cyclist's claims that he accidentially ingested the banned supplement clenbuterol near the end of this year's race, reports Reuters.
"It's been raised before, it's been heard in a couple of cases and rejected," said WADA director general David Howman. "It's not unusual."
Contador was provisionally suspended by the International Cycling Union (UCI) last month after the positive test results were made public.
Howman said that Contador needed to provide actual evidence of his claim.
"The issue is, can you prove it? It's a pretty hard thing to prove that is where it (the banned substance) comes from," he said.
Contador has another problem in that plastic residues were reportedly found in his blood along with the supplement, suggesting that he may have undergone blood transfusions, which are also banned in the sport.
The three-time Tour winner announced that he will not attend the 2011 race's presentation in Paris next week due to his suspension.

Both Andre Ellington and DeAndre Hopkins turned in impressive performances Sunday during their workouts for scouts at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, though Ellington was hampered by a pulled hamstring in the 40-yard dash.
Ellington tweaked his hamstring while running a respectable time of 4.61 seconds.
Ellington, who is considered to be among the top five running backs in this year's draft, posted top-15 'top performances' in the broad jump, in which he was sixth among running backs with a mark of 10 feet, 2 inches, and in the vertical jump, in which he was 12th with a mark of 34.0 inches.
Hopkins posted 10th-place marks among wide receivers in the bench press, with 15 repetitions, and in the vertical jump with a mark of 36.0 inches.
Hopkins had a time of 4.57 seconds in the 40-yard dash and 4.50 in the 20-yard shuttle.
Top marks among wide receivers included Texas A&M's Marquise Goodwin, with a 40-yard dash of 4.27; Missouri's T.J. Moe, who led the field in the bench press (26 reps), the 20-yard shuttle (3.96) and the 60-yard shuttle (6.53); Virginia Tech's Marcus Davis with a 39.5 vertical jump; and Tennessee's Justin Hunter with an 11-4 broad jump.
Top performers among running backs were posted by Auburn's Onterrio McCalebb with a time of 4.34 in the 40; Wake Forest's Tommy Bohanan, with 36 reps in the bench press; Texas A&M's Christine Michael, with a vertical jump of 43 inches; and LSU's Michael Ford with a broad jump of 10-10.

Three men in their late teens from the Loganville area, one of them a South Gwinnett High School student, were arrested on Feb. 15, 2013 in connection with participation in gang activity. The charges stem from an alleged assault on a South Gwinnett student in October last year.
Tommy Hakeem Barge, 18, of 1177 Preserve Park Drive, Loganville, is charged with Violation of the Georgia Controlled Substance Act – possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, aggravated assault and participation in gang activity. Rashawn Noel Kelly, 19, of 3880 Walters Park Drive, Loganville, is charged with VGCSA of controlled substance, VGCSA possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, simple battery and participation in gang activity. Clifford Franklin, 17, of 2342 Red Rose Lane, Loganville, is charged with simple battery and participation in gang activity. He is a student at SGHS. The subjects all live in unincorporated Gwinnett in the Loganville area.
The arrests are the result of an investigation that began with an incident on Oct. 13, 2012, when another South Gwinnett student was allegedly attacked by the three when he was walking home. Barge is accused of brandishing a black semi-automatic hand gun and striking the victim with it.
According to the Gwinnett County Police Department, they are members of the East Coast Bloods, a sub-set of the Bloods. GCPD public information officer Cpl. Jake Smith said gang activity is picking up in this area.
"Somewhat," Smith said, adding that historically, however, there has been very little in the area, making any increase noticeable. "The main gang activity we see is from the Bloods gang and its many sub-sets. Gang activity has come to the attention of investigators at Grayson, South Gwinnett, Berkmar and Central Gwinnett."
Smith said the "Young Wavy Goons" gang that Larnell Sillah, charged in the shooting death of Paul Sampleton, is alleged to be a member of is a relatively small gang.
"A few dozen members, but it is considered a sub-set of the much larger Bloods gang," Smith said. "Typically they are involved in property theft-type crimes."
Barge, Kelly and Franklin are all being held at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond.

ABSTRACT: A young couple out for a Sunday morning stroll. They had breakfasted at the Brevoort and planned to spend the day by themselves doing things that they had wanted to do for a long time but hadn't found time for. As they walked along the young woman noticed that her husband looked at every woman they met. She chided him for it; said it made her feel rotten inside, he had looked at her the same way the first time they met. He tried to convince her that he only looked at women because he loved to look at them; all kind of women; maybe other men felt the same way about it. They stopped in for a drink, one word led to another and before long a quarrel was under way

Most Expensive Cities for Americans Worldwide
TripAdvisor released its inaugural price comparison list, TripIndex, which priced out 50 cities around the world and how inexpensive or costly they are against the U.S. dollar.
…Value against the dollar is one of the most important considerations for American travelers planning international trips," Karen Drake, senior director of communications for TripAdvisor, said in a press release. "TripIndex offers a useful means of setting realistic budget expectations and reveals some outstanding destination deals…
The index was priced out in four categories for each destination: cost per night of a four-star hotel (gauged between June and August 2011), cost of a dry martini (guess that's universal enough), cost of a five mile taxi ride, and, perhaps most arbitrarily, the cost of a large cheese pizza…

End Ecocide!
19 Jan 14
Slow Food and the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity have joined an important initiative, 'End Ecocide in Europe', which is calling for cases of serious environmental destruction to be recognized as a crime.
'End Ecocide in Europe' is a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), a democratic tool that enables EU citizens to propose amendments to European law and participate directly in the development of EU policies. Unlike other petitions, an ECI legal authority to influence politics. According to the initiative, if at least one million EU citizens from seven different countries support a petition, the proposal must be discussed at European level.
The petition is calling for the introduction of direct criminal liability for individuals and companies responsible for ecocide, defined as "extensive damage to, destruction or loss of ecosystems of a given territory."
The proposed directive will be applied in cases of ecocide within the EU, but also in other countries if caused by European companies or citizens. Ecocide caused by the import of goods or services in Europe, or funded by European banks or financial institutions will also be included.
Today we live in a world where "widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment" is only recognized as a war crime (Article 8.2 of the Rome Statute), meaning that during times of peace, companies and individuals are free to destroy the planet without any legal consequence. We believe it is time to put an end to this absurdity.
Vote to protect our natural habitat: www.endecocide.eu
To verify your identity, it is necessary to provide your address and date of birth when signing. In some countries, such as Italy, it is also compulsory to provide an ID number.

The Iowa Department of Corrections says 15 sex offenders must be immediately released following a pair of Iowa Supreme Court rulings last week.
In the rulings, the court overrode corrections officials' interpretation of rules so "earned time" wasn't deducted from the prisoners' sentences if they refused to participate or failed sex offender treatment programming.
The court's ruling applies to 15 offenders whose crimes were committed before an amendment regarding the "earned time" went into effect on January 1, 2001.
Governor Chet Culver and the Iowa attorney general's office have directed the state to notify victims of the offenders' immediate release and to ensure that the offenders register as part of a Sex Offender Registry Program.

Linebacker Gatlin Ridgway was everywhere in Missouri Southern's 47-20 victory over South Dakota Mines.
His contributions included nine tackles (one behind the line of scrimmage), one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and an interception he returned 43 yards for the Lions' second touchdown.
"Just being in the right place at the right time," said Ridgway, 5-foot-10, 205-pound junior from Danville, Ohio. "I had that one ball just fall in my lap, just got lucky. But other than that, just preparation gets you where you have to be."
The Lions return to MIAA action for the final five games of the season, starting today at undefeated and No. 4-ranked Missouri Western.
At 6-0, the Griffons have matched the best start in school history. They won their first seven games in 1981.
"If you look up and down their roster, it's amazing how many redshirt seniors they have, and that is by design," Lions coach Daryl Daye said. "Coach (Jerry) Partridge gets them in there as freshmen, redshirts them, and they are grown men by the time they are seniors. I am not surprised (by their record) at all."
Missouri Southern ranks first in the conference and 11th in the nation in rushing defense, yielding 88.8 yards per game. That defense will be challenged today by the Griffons' Michael Hill, who leads Division II in rushing at 179.2 yards per game.
Hill, 5-11, 205 senior, has 145 carries for 1,075 yards and six touchdowns this season.
Quarterback Travis Partridge, the coach's son, has thrown for 1,069 yards and 16 touchdowns and run for 196 yards and five scores. Wide receiver Kyle Knox has the most catches (19 for 315 yards) but tight end Reggie Jordan has six TDs among 12 receptions.
"They are very multiple, but it comes down to stopping the run," Daye said. "To play effective football and have an opportunity to win the ball game, we have to stop the run first, and Coach Partridge is the kind of coach who will make you stop the run first.
"He's an old-school, aggressive coach, so we are expecting him to come out and trade punches right off the bat and find out if we can stop the run."
The Griffons lead the league in rushing offense (284.8) and the Lions are second (274.3). Missouri Western has added 180.2 yards through the air to the Lions' 77.7 yards.
Missouri Western is fifth in the league in rushing defense (126.5) and third sixth in total defense (335.7), just behind the Lions' 333.2 yards.
"They are very good up front defensively," Daye said. "They have some good athletes on the perimeter, but they are excellent up front. This is probably one of the better defensive lines that we have seen, if not the best."
Ridgway's nine tackles gave him 29 for the season, ranking him fourth on the team. His five tackles for loss are second behind Brandon Williams' 7.5 stops in the backfield.
"It's a tough league," Ridgway said. "I don't know how many teams we play that are in the top 10, but it's fun. It's good competition."
Ridgway transferred to Missouri Southern from Highland (Miss.) Junior College.
"Coach (Chass) Williams (MSSU assistant) actually coached me at my junior college," Ridgway said. "I came here for a visit and really liked it."

A Jeffersonville hospice organization has joined only 42 organizations throughout the country in achieving the highest level of programing working with veterans.
Amedisys, which provides medical, psychosocial, volunteer and bereavement care, has been participating in a national We Honor Veterans campaign that works to educate and provide hospice care for those who have served the country in the military.
"We understand what it means to give of yourself as a veteran and we want as a hospice to make sure our veterans are cared for at the end of their life," said Randy Hensley, director of office operations with Amedisys. "Many veterans have been through such traumatic, horrendous situations in war that we want to make sure that they're cared for in a way that's honoring to them and that they get the care that they really need. The other big piece that drives us is making sure our veterans know the benefits that are entitled to them."
Dick Jackson — volunteer coordinator with Amedisys and a 35-year veteran of the U.S. Army who served two tours in Vietnam — said only about one-third of veterans take advantage of the benefits that are available to them through the We Honor Veterans and Veterans Affairs programs.
The program works with the Department of Veterans Affairs to involve area hospice organizations to provide assistance to veterans and their families. The program is designed to build professional and organizational capacity to provide quality care for veterans, develop and/or strengthen partnerships with VA and other veteran organizations, increase access to hospice and palliative care for veterans in the community and network with other hospices across the country to learn about best practice models, according to the group's website.
Organizations that join the We Honor Veterans program "earn their stars" through five levels of outreach. There is an introductory program, then level one provides veteran-centric education for staff and volunteers, and identify patients with military experience; level two builds organizational capacity to provide quality care for veterans; level three develops and strengthens relationships with VA medical centers and other veteran organizations; and level four increases access and improves quality of care for veterans in the community.
That level four award was given to Amedisys at a ceremony last week.
As part of their outreach work, Hensley said they take the program to nursing facilities and assisted living facilities throughout the region to honor veterans living there. He said the veterans receive individual recognition and work to find out where individuals are in the program and to make sure they know about all of the benefits that are available to them.
Hensley said veterans make up about 10 percent of Amedisys' patients. Of those veterans the hospice has treated about 2 to 3 percent did not know about benefits they could receive or needed help receiving the benefits, which extended to not only hospice care but additional VA benefits that may have been available to the veteran or their families.
Another major emphasis for Amedisys locally is its connection with Jesus Cares at Exit 0, a group that provides assistance to the homeless in Clark County.
The group works to provide the same care to veterans in the area that may be homeless as those who are not.

text: Usually I don't have this problem but when I'm home alone I like to crank my music up a little. In songs with hard hitting bass lines, the subwoofer rattles from the back metal plate (where all the inputs are). If I apply a little bit of pressure with my fingers, the rattling goes away but comes back when I take my hand off. I tried tightening the screws in the back because I thought something might be loose but that didn't help. Is there an easy fix for this?
