The present invention provides a method and apparatus for a trusted service provider (TSP) which assists with the secure exchange of data across the public switched telephone network. Communications are routed via a TSP, which uses cryptographic techniques to conceal the identities (e.g., telephone numbers) of the call initiator and call recipient, thereby preventing traffic analysis attacks. The TSP also performs cryptographic handshakes with the call initiator and call recipient to authenticate callers. The TSP further provides cryptographic keying material which communicants may use to help protect communications and to directly authenticate and identify each other. Although the TSP is trusted to negotiate the connection and is involved in the process, the communicants can perform their own key agreement and authentication for protecting data routed via the TSP.
1. An apparatus for securely exchanging selected data over a public switched telephone network (PSTN), comprising:
a telephony server configured for controlling a telephony switch adapted for routing telephone calls through the PSTN from a sender to a receiver;
said telephony server configured for,
receiving encrypted sender authentication and receiver identification information from a sender making a call to said telephony server,
decrypting sender authentication and receiver identification information,
authenticating the sender,
connecting said telephony server through the telephony switch to a recipient identified in said encrypted receiver identification information,
authenticating the recipient,
transferring the connection from the sender to the recipient to allow the sender and the recipient to exchange selected data which has been encrypted for transfer over the PSTN through said telephony switch; and
a recording mechanism configured for creating a record for billing of communications services performed over the PSTN by said apparatus in securely connecting sender and receiver.
The invention relates to methods and apparatus for the secure communication of data, and more specifically to methods and apparatus for the delivery of encrypted data across publicly-accessible networks.
Nearly every modern industry and profession requires the rapid delivery of a variety of types of communications. In many instances, an additional requirement is that the documents be maintained confidential during the delivery process. A still further complication is the ability of the recipient to verify the authenticity of the received document.
To respond to such requirements, the entire courier industry has been developed. Thus, a courier service arranges to pick up an original document from the sender and to deliver it, as promptly as possible within the charging structure, to a recipient. Because the document is maintained in a sealed envelope, confidential communications are frequently entrusted to such courier services. Since the documents can bear original signatures, their authenticity is generally presumed.
However, the operation of a courier service is labor intensive and the cost structure of the industry reflects its dependence on extensive manual effort. In addition, the responsiveness of the industry is generally dependent on the sender and recipient both being in either close proximity or near a major airport. Thus, a recipient located in a remote portion of a foreign country may encounter significant delays in receiving a communication by courier simply because delivery requires extensive manual handling of the communication.
In addition, while a document delivered by courier is generally presumed to be maintained confidential, in fact it is apparent the confidentiality of the communication may be compromised with exceptional ease. As a result, some industries have taken to using specialized couriers which offer particular assurances of confidentiality.
Still further, the reliability of a courier service is equally limited, since it depends upon each link in a potentially extensive chain operating with substantial success. While such success occurs in the great majority of cases, there are numerous instances where increased reliability would be greatly desirable.
While modern telecommunications offers a response to some of the concerns about couriers, existing systems have generally proven inadequate to provide a suitable replacement for courier services. Thus, while a telephone call offers immediacy and access virtually to the farthest reaches of the globe, conventional telephone communications are not especially secure and do not provide communication of documents.
Fax machines, including fax machines with provision for confidential faxing, likewise suffer from numerous limitations, include in most instances a lack of data encryption and substantial manual involvement in ensuring that the document is properly entered into the fax machine. Fax modems incorporated into personal computers offer some improvement on the document-loading scheme, but offer little or no encryption of the data, and typically do not verify destination. The result is little security for potentially quite valuable communications.
As a result, there has been a need for a secure communications technique which offers reliable high speed access to virtually anywhere a telephone or other network connection exists, while at the same time offering a high degree of confidentiality and security to the communications.
The security of data sent over telecommunications networks, including telephone networks, is important for many computer applications and systems. With a large network or a network that involves access via a public utility such as the telephone company, it is impractical to assure the physical security of the communications channel. Even with a single location, the size and configuration of most networks (e.g., wires, fiber optic cables, switching hardware, etc.) make it expensive or impossible to assure that communications are not being monitored.
An ideal data communications system would be easy to operate, inexpensive, reliable, widely available, fast, and secure. Existing networks, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN), may be used to obtain some of these characteristics. In particular, the PSTN is relatively inexpensive, widely available, and reliable. The PSTN can be used to exchange digital data with reasonable speed (e.g., 28.8 kilobits per second using a modem implementing the V.34 protocol defined in International Telecommunications Union, "Recommendation V.34—A modem operating at data signaling rates of up to 28800 bit/s for use on the general switched telephone network and on leased point-to-point 2-wire telephone-type circuits," September 1994.) Higher speed modems, such as those operating at 33.6 or 56 kilobits per second, ISDN lines operating at up to 128 k-bits, or ADSL lines operating at even higher rates offer improved performance through the PSTN.
However, the PSTN is often not sufficiently secure for exchanging sensitive information. Specifically, communications may be monitored by tapping a telephone line or by recording a call at the telephone switch. Additional privacy protection is thus desirable.
Some kinds of protection may be added by users of the network to protect their own communications. For example, encryption may be used to ensure that eavesdroppers cannot determine the content of communications. Encryption algorithms, including the Data Encryption Standard (DES), are well known in the background art and may be used in scrambling and security systems to protect the privacy of data. (DES is defined in National Bureau of Standards, NBS FIPS PUB 46-1, "Data Encryption Standard," U.S. Department of Commerce, January 1988.)
End users can also use cryptography to protect their data exchanges against accidental or malicious modification. (Such tampering can occur even if data is encrypted, since changes made to the ciphertext data stream will generally result in changes to the plaintext data produced by the decryption process.) To protect against tampering, keyed MAC functions such as HMAC are often used. (HMAC is defined in M. Bellare, R. Canetti, and H. Krawczyk, "Keying Hash Functions for Message Authentication," Advances in Cryptology—Crypto '96 Proceedings, Springer-Verlag, 1996, pp. 1-15.) Alternatively, data may be digitally signed, for example using the RSA algorithm of U.S. Pat. No. 4,405,829 to Rivest et al. or using the Digital Signature Standard (National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST FIPS PUB 186, "Digital Signature Standard," U.S. Department of Commerce, May 1994). Protocols and techniques usable by communicants to encrypt data and to protect data against tampering are well known in the background art. For example, the SSL protocol, used widely to protect transactions on the world wide web and in other applications, combines asymmetric (public-key) cryptography, symmetric (secret-key) cryptography, and MACs to securely select which cryptographic algorithms to use, authenticate communicants, negotiate shared keys, encrypt and decrypt data for privacy, and protect data against modification.
Encrypting modems (and other network interfaces) which use DES and other encryption algorithms to protect communications sent over the public switched telephone network (and other communications systems) are also known. Secure modems using encryption algorithms such as DES are commercially available, and modems running more sophisticated cryptographic protocols (such as SSL) are also known. Such modems can, if used properly, provide users with good cryptographic assurance of data privacy and integrity.
However, such encrypting modems cannot solve many applications' security and business requirements, and consequently they have failed to gain widespread acceptance in the marketplace. For example, existing encrypting modems used over the PSTN cannot protect the identities of communicating parties. In many cases it is as important to conceal from eavesdroppers the identities of the communicants as it is to protect the actual content of their communication. This problem cannot be solved by an end-user device since, for example, an eavesdropper can identify the recipient of a modem connection simply by observing the telephone number dialed by the party originating the call (e.g., by monitoring the DTMF tones generated by the transmitting telephone or modem). Other networking protocols suffer from the same limitation that eavesdroppers can determine at least identity of the intended recipient of data, even if the data is encrypted. Although Internet-based systems for protecting users' anonymity are known (e.g., remailers for PGP-encrypted e-mail and anonymizers for world wide web communications), the techniques they employ do not work with public switched telephone network, and companies generally do not wish to send their private communications over the Internet.
A second problem with systems known in the background art is that the cost of the development and manufacture of the secure modem hardware and software must be recovered when users purchase the equipment. Since no after-purchase revenue is available to device manufacturers and vendors, customers are forced to make a substantial initial investment, often of several hundred dollars per user, to purchase the hardware and/or software. Many potential customers, such as companies with a large number of users who would all need to be equipped with the hardware, are deterred by this initial cost and ultimately end up using cheaper, less secure systems.
There has therefore been a long felt need for a data communications system which is easy to use, reliable, fast, secure and economical for transmitting confidential or sensitive information expeditiously even to remote points.
The present invention describes method and apparatus for delivering highly secure communications between authorized parties who may be remotely located with access available only over publicly accessible networks. Although the preferred embodiment of the invention protects standard modem communications exchanged via the PSTN, alternate embodiments may be used to protect other communications sent via ISDN or using other means. In general, the present invention may be thought of as an integrated network of dedicated hardware, communications software and telecommunications technology providing a secure private network for the delivery of electronic information.
The hardware layer of the present invention comprises at least a sender and recipient personal computer system, a device (typically a modem) at both the sender's and recipient's ends for accessing a telecommunications service, and a telephony server (typically a single device, but may be comprised of two or more servers, each of which could have one or more clients, networked to achieve greater efficiency and/or capacity), for managing connections between the respective computer/modem of the sender and recipient.
A variety of personal computers or workstations may be connected to the network of the present invention; in general, the invention is equally applicable on any available operating system and their associated platform, including Apple Macintosh™, IBM PC™, Sun™ or other Unix platforms, and so on.
Each personal computer system includes a modem device which, in at least some embodiments of the present invention, will be a secure modem device ("SMD".) In a presently preferred embodiment, the sender initiates a telephone call via the PSTN to a telephony server ("TS"). The TS serves as an intermediary between the sender and the receiver, thus protecting their identities from eavesdroppers, and additionally helps communicants negotiate key material and authenticate each other. In addition, the TS maintains appropriate record-keeping to track usage and thereby provide a source of revenue to manufacturers and vendors other than from the sale of security devices to end users.
In addition to the hardware layer, at the PC the present invention includes a software transport layer which may be thought of as including, at the top level, an operator interface, and behind the operator interface a communications module for managing communications with either a sender or recipient, key management, and enciphering and deciphering of messages. The Communications Module may reside in either the PC or the modem.
Documents selected for transmission are selected from a listing of available files; similarly, the destination is selected from a list of authorized destinations or, if not currently on the list, added as appropriate. The selection of files to be transmitted and their destination is particularly intended to be intuitive to the user, to permit successful operation of the system without the need for extensive training.
In operation, the call from the sender is routed to the TS in a conventional manner; that is, the sender initiates a call to the TS with the number encoded as a sequence of DTMF signals. The PSTN switch decodes the initial DTMF signals and routes the sender's call to the TS. After the TS answers the call, the TS and calling SMD follow a cryptographic protocol in which the caller authenticates the TS, the TS authenticates the caller, the TS receives an identifier of the call recipient's identity in encrypted form, and the caller receives encrypted key material from the TS. The TS can therefore be seen to verify the trust relationship between the sender and the recipient; the TS can therefore be seen to be a trusted service provider, or "TSP."
After receiving the cryptographically-protected representation of the call recipient's identity from the calling SMD, the TS attempts to establish a data connection with the specified destination party, first checking to determine whether or not the recipient is an authorized destination. If successful, the call recipient's SMD answers the call from the TS and performs a cryptographic handshake with the TS. In the handshake, the TS and the recipient's SMD cryptographically authenticate each other. In some embodiments the TS provides, in encrypted form, identification of the calling party. In addition, the same key material provided during the initial (TS/call initiator) handshake may also be sent, in cryptographically-protected form, to the call recipient.
When the handshakes are complete, the TS connects the incoming connection (from the call initiator's SMD) with the outgoing connection (to the call recipient's SMD), thereby allowing the SMDs to communicate directly with each other. At this point the TS may be effectively disconnected from the call. In a presently preferred embodiment, the SMDs establish a secure communications channel keyed using information derived either from the TSP-supplied keying material or negotiated directly between the SMDs; alternatively, information previously shared between the SMDs may also be used. No information which could be used by an attacker to identify the communicants needs to be exchanged in plaintext, or unencrypted, form. Once the SMDs have established, via the TSP, a secured communications channel, they exchange data, which may take the form of messages, files, images, programs, and so on, or may in some embodiments include video or audio information.
Because the recipient identification information is encrypted, it is protected from eavesdroppers. Cryptographic protocols and handshakes protect the system from other forms of attack. In addition, for added security, telephonic verification may be added as an authentication step to ensure that attackers cannot spoof the operation of the TS.
In addition to routing the telephone call, in a typical embodiment the switch collects information for auditing and billing purposes. For example, users may be billed on a per-call and/or per-minute basis for using the service. Such billing may be performed by any means, but in the preferred embodiment is accomplished by submitting charges to appear on the telephone bill of the call initiator, call recipient, or a third party.
Note that the TSP need not play any active role in the data exchange between the SMDs; it can simply serve as a portion of the communication network connecting the devices.
Referring first to
The telephony switch 40 cooperates with a telephony server 45 to which it is linked, and the telephony server both validates the identity of the recipient's account and authorizes a telephone connection to the recipient via the telephony switch 40. The telephony switch 40 then dials the recipient's modem number, again through the local exchange carrier 35 and also (possibly) through a receiver-side long distance carrier 50 as well as a Receiver's local exchange carrier 55 located near the recipient. The Receiver's local exchange carrier 55 relays the call in a completely conventional manner to the recipient's modem 60 (or other similar device) and the recipient's associated workstation 65. After appropriate handshaking and authentication, discussed in greater detail hereinafter, the telephony server is effectively disconnected from the call and the data is transferred from the sender workstation 15 to the recipient workstation 65.
An additional but important feature of the system of the present invention is the capture of sufficient data to base billings on use of the system, similar to the manner in which conventional telephone calls are billed. To achieve this goal, a billing tape 70 captures the connection data for the authorized call initiated by the sender, and forwards it to an appropriate billing function. In a preferred embodiment, the captured data is provided to a billing system 75 of a conventional local exchange carrier who incorporates the billing into the conventional local phone bill. The bills 80 may then be sent to the user.
Although the hardware comprising the system has been described generally, above, many of the critical functions of the system are performed in software. In particular, software functions are critical at the PC layer for both the sender and the receiver, and separately at the telephony server. At the PC level, including the modem, the software function comprises a communications transport layer, shown in
Referring next to
In addition to selecting a caller and a recipient, it is also necessary for the sender to select the data to be transferred. Although the data can take any form, including audio information, video information, or other data, for purposes of simplicity the information transferred in this example will be assumed to be conventional data or program files.
To select the files to be transferred, the user selects a "Send Files" tab 225 from a lower portion 230 of the window 200. The "Send Files" tab opens a drive window 235 which may, for example, list the directories in the selected drive. In an adjacent window 240 the files in a selected drive or directory(s) is displayed. The user selects files to be transferred from the files displayed in the window 240, which causes the selected files to be displayed in a selected files window 245. The user can select as many files as desired.
By clicking on the SEND icon 250, the files are aggregated, compressed and encrypted, forming a single session. At that point the call is automatically initiated. As previously noted, in a presently preferred configuration the modem is permitted to dial only the number of the telephony switch 40, although in some embodiments it may be desirable to use a conventional modem. This begins the process of actually exchanging data between the two systems.
Successful completion of a data transfer between two systems requires the completion of three protocols: the Call Manager protocol, the Key Exchange protocol, and the Data Exchange protocol. In general, the Call Manager protocol manages the process by which a caller (via a PC and modem) is identified to the telephony server 45, and identifies the recipient of the call—by account number in the exemplary embodiment described here. The PC 15 causes the modem 20 to generate DTMF codes to connect to the telephony server, identifying itself and the recipient. If both account numbers are valid, the caller and recipient are connected through the telephony switch to permit the respective PCs 15 and 65 to exchange data. At the same time, the telephony switch logs the call and captures the information necessary to track the call and handle time and billing.
The Call Manager protocol may be better appreciated from
At step 310, the account numbers are compared to a database of valid account numbers maintained in the system, typically in the telephony server. If one or both account numbers fails to match, a negative acknowledge is sent at step 315. However, if both numbers match valid account numbers in the database, the process advances to step 320. At step 320, the caller's ANI data and phone number are compared to the system database, to further confirm the validity of the sender. In particular, this compares the caller's telephone number, modem number, and other selected information. If any of this additional information does not match that in the database, the process branches to a negative acknowledge at step 315. However, if all of the requisite data matches, the processes advances to step 325 where the telephony server sends a "call OK" message. The call is then transferred to the recipient phone number at step 330, and the call is logged for billing purposes at step 335.
Once the call has transferred to the recipient, the sender and recipient must exchange keys through a handshaking process. This is managed by the Key Exchange protocol, described in
The protocol of
Once the handshake session has started, the key exchange must be completed before data can be transferred. If, as tested at step 370, the recipient cannot support the version transmitted by the sender, a negative acknowledge results and the system branches to step 375 to transmit the message to the sender as well as causing a hangup and exit at the recipient end at step 380. In each case, the message associated with the hangup contains housekeeping information which is entered into the Send Log and the Receive Log. The sender then tests the negative acknowledge (NAK) signal at step 385, and if so, executes a hang up and exit at step 390.
In most instances, however, the version will check as valid at step 370. In this circumstance, the recipient develops its responsive handshake packet, Handshake Packet B, at step 395 in a data structure similar of the sort shown below:
The recipient handshake packet is then transmitted to the sender at step 400. The version specified by the recipient handshake packet is checked at step 405, and if not supported by a negative acknowledge and hangup are generated at steps 410 and 415, respectively. In most cases the version will be supported such that the check at step 405 will be affirmative, and the process will advance with the sender performing a proof step at step 420. At step 425, the result of the proof step is then compared to the ProofB portion of the recipient handshake packet, Handshake Packet B. A negative result forwards to step 410 for hangup and exit, while a successful check causes the sender to generate a second handshake packet, Handshake Packet A2, at step 430 and transmit it to the recipient. If a negative acknowledge is sent at step 410, it is detected at step 435 and a hangup and exit executes at step 440.
Then, at step 445, a comparison is then done at the recipient end to compare the RandomA value received in the second handshake packet with the RandomA value received in the first handshake packet. A negative compare results in the generation of a negative acknowledgment at step 450 and a hangup and exit at step 455, while a positive compare continues the process. On the sender's side, a negative acknowledgment detected at step 460 results in a hangup and exit at step 465. The process continues with both the sender and the recipient computing, at steps 470A and 470B, respectively, a check of the password. The result is the generation of an ordered string of words which are then reduced to form a five character string X, together with the generation of a long term key at both the sender and recipient sides.
The string X is then displayed as a pop-up window at the sender side, as shown in
At this point, if the protocol has executed successfully, both the sender and receiver have saved the Long Term Key and have established in their respective account listings that the sender/recipient pair is authorized to transfer data. This concludes the Key Exchange protocol.
Once the Key Exchange protocol of
The process begins at step 600 with the sender generating a random Session Key, or SKey, which may, for example, be on the order of 20 bytes, followed by generating a random challenge which may also be on the order of 20 bytes. The process then moves on to step 605 with the compression of the files to be transferred, selected as shown in connection with
Once the encryption is complete, the sender establishes a data connection with the recipient, as shown in
At step 625, the recipient answers the call from the sender and then, at step 630, checks the sender's account number in its authorization file. If the account number is not found, a negative acknowledge is transmitted at step 635 back to the sender and a hangup and exit is executed at the recipient side at step 640. On the sender side, a check for a NAK is made at step 645, and if a negative acknowledge was generated at step 635 the process executes a hangup and exit at step 650.
However, if the version and account number checked as valid at step 630, the recipient gets the LTK for the account at step 655. At step 660, the recipient generates its own random ChallengeB and, in addition, calculates ProofB=HMAC{LTK}(ChallengeA|ChallengeB|"Verify"). The recipient then sends its own transfer packet, Transfer Packet B, to the sender at step 665. This transfer packet has the following data structure in an exemplary embodiment:
However, if the versions and account numbers are verified, the sender side moves on to step 695 and the sender computes CompareProofB which it compares with ProofB from the recipient side. If the proofs do not match, as determined at step 700, the process aborts by jumping back to step 675. However, as will most often be the case, the proofs will match and the process will advance to step 705.
At step 705, the sender side transmits to the recipient a second transfer packet, Transfer Packet A2, having, in at least an exemplary embodiment, the following data structure:
In response, the recipient calculates, at step 710, a CompareProofA value based on HMAC{LTK}(ChallengeA|ChallengeB|"Verify2"). The recipient also calculates a session key SKey and, as well, a proof of the session key, or KeyProofB. Then, at step 715, CompareProofA is compared to ProofA and KeyProofA is compared with KeyProofB.
If either proof fails, a compare at step 715 fails and a negative acknowledge is sent to the sender at 720. On the recipient side, a NAK causes a hangup and exit at 725. On the sender side, the NAK is checked for at step 730, and if found, causes the sender to hangup and exit at step 735.
However, if the proofs match, the process advances on the recipient side by sending an Acknowledge to the sender at step 740. The sender side then advances to step 745 where the sender transmits the compressed and encrypted file to the recipient, after which the sender side of the process completes by hangup and exit at step 750. The recipient side receives the compressed and encrypted file at step 760, and the computes a FileHash and also calculates at step 765 a FileProofB based on HMAC{SKey}(ChallengeA|ChallengeB|FileHash|"Verify3"). FileProofB is then compared to FileProofA at step 770 and, if the proofs match, the file is decrypted at step 775 using the SKey and then uncompressed at step 780 into individual files. If the proofs do not match after decompression, a hangup and exit is executed at step 785.

At this point the transaction is completed and the telephony server completes the log of the call duration and related data for purposes of generating billing. As previously noted, the billing is processed, in a presently preferred embodiment, through a local telephone service provider.
Although a presently preferred embodiment has been described in detail in the foregoing, numerous alternatives exist which do not depart from the invention. One particularly attractive alternative is to cache communications at the telephony server 45 (
Also, and as previously noted, the software portion of the present system may be implemented to eliminate any code resident on the modems, thus placing all user code at the PC level and permitting the use of general purpose modems. Additionally, although the presently preferred embodiment is implemented using standard communications protocols such as v.34, other encoding methods are also acceptable in many embodiments. Likewise, dual-mode approaches may be desirable in at least some embodiments, in which slower DTMF codes are used for some functions while faster v.34 protocols are used for file transfer.
In addition, various elements of the cryptographic engine or related databases may be implemented on a removable cryptographic token, such as a smart card. The smart card may connect directly to the TSP, or may be accessed via a smart card reader or other device connected to the TSP. Likewise, particular sequences for handshaking and encryption as described above may be rearranged or modified to comply with local laws or otherwise facilitate better implementation. In addition, other cryptographic functions may be used. For example, DES-based MAC functions may be used instead of HMAC, elliptic-curve public key cryptographic functions may be used instead of RSA and Diffie-Hellman, stream ciphers such as RC4 may be used instead of block ciphers, DSS may be used instead of RSA for digital signatures, etc.
It can therefore be appreciated that a new and novel system and method for secure communications of a wide variety of types of data has been described. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, given the teachings herein, numerous alternatives and equivalents will be seen to exist which incorporate the invention disclosed hereby. As a result, the invention is not to be limited by the foregoing exemplary embodiments, but only by the following claims.

Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - Dennis Seidenberg broke a tie with 1:04 remaining in the third period, and the Boston Bruins continued their success in Ottawa with a 2-1 win over the Senators.
Daniel Paille scored the other goal for the Bruins, who notched their 11th straight road victory against the Senators. They have won 12 of 13 overall in this series.
Anton Khudobin made 27 saves, helping Boston snap a two-game losing streak and a three-game slide as the visitor.
"We haven't been playing great hockey lately and we had to fight through it. We asked our guys to battle through it, we knew it wasn't going to be pretty," said Boston head coach Claude Julien.
Robin Lehner also stopped 27 shots for Ottawa, which had its winning streak halted at three games.
The Bruins struck late in the second period to erase a 1-0 deficit. Paille fired a wrister from the right circle that beat Lehner on the short side with 1:22 remaining.
Seidenberg's first goal in 30 games put Boston in front. Patrice Bergeron won a faceoff in the offensive zone and Zdeno Chara dished to Seidenberg, who let go a slap shot from the right point that eluded Lehner.
"Against this team you always have to play 60 minutes," said Ottawa head coach Paul MacLean. "At the end of the second period and the end of the game, we stopped playing for a little bit and that ends up being the difference."
Kaspars Daugavins put the Senators on the board with his first goal of the season. Mika Zibanejad carried the puck into the Boston end before slipping the puck to Daugavins and Khudobin couldn't get his glove up quick enough to deny the Ottawa forward at the 4:55 mark of the middle frame.
Ottawa defenseman Sergei Gonchar recorded an assist in a ninth straight game,
a new team record ... The Senators opened a five-game homestand and fell to
10-2-3 at Scotiabank Place this season.
Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch and Rashaan Salaam are among 76 Football Bowl Subdivision players on the ballot for election into the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.
The regular season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has reached its midpoint, with 13 races completed and 13 to go before the championship Chase begins.
The Houston Texans have signed defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick, who played last season with the New Orleans Saints.
The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Dioner Navarro from the 15-day disabled list following a 2-0 loss to the Washington Nationals in the opener of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, the team said.
The Montreal Canadiens revealed on Tuesday that defenseman Jeff Petry has agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension.

Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Remembers Elenie Huszagh
Document Actions
Jul 14, 2014
NEW YORK— With great sadness, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America remembers the late Elenie K. Huszagh, 77, who passed away on July 11.
She was born in 1937 in Portland, Oregon to the late Peter and Mary Kostopoulos.
Besides being a prominent and long-time Chicago attorney, Elenie was a devoted Orthodox Christian who served the Church tirelessly and selflessly for decades. Upon learning of the passing of Huszagh, His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America was gravely saddened by the news of her passing and made the following statement:
"Elenie's effort to foster mutual understanding, respect and cooperation among Christian communions was only surpassed by her love and dedication to the Greek Orthodox Church. Her significant contributions to the Holy Archdiocese, especially as a member of the legal committee and during the restructuring of the Archdiocesan Charter, continue to have a positive impact on the lives of all Orthodox Christians. The entire archdiocesan family will surely miss Elenie. It is our prayer that the Lord Jesus Christ will number her among the righteous and grant unto her the joy of His Resurrection, Life and Repose. May her memory be eternal."
Elenie Huszagh represented the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America to the National of Council of Churches (NCC) since 1979 and served as its president from 2002-2003. She also served on the Archdiocesan Council for many years and in 1996 she received the Medal of St. Paul, the highest honor bestowed upon a layperson by the Archdiocese.
Elenie is survived by her son Peter.

Price, Boston's eighth-round pick in the 2010 Draft out of Virginia Tech, received a 50-game suspension after a second violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program for a drug of abuse.
The 22-year-old will begin serving the ban immediately.
Price, who has not appeared in a Minor League game this season, debuted with Boston last year when he appeared in three games for the Gulf Coast League Red Sox and Class A Greenville Drive, striking out four in 3 1/3 innings. He underwent Tommy John surgery in October 2010.
Minor Leaguers are warned after testing positive for a drug of abuse and then suspended after a second violation. The Commissioner's Office does not disclose the specific substance in these cases. Substances considered "drugs of abuse" by Major League Baseball include cocaine, marijuana, heroin, LSD, ecstasy and other opiates.
The Marietta, Ga., native was originally drafted by Atlanta in 2008 but did not sign, instead going to Virginia Tech, where he went 7-4 with a 4.95 ERA and 85 strikeouts over 91 innings in 17 games (15 starts) as a sophomore in 2010, leading the Hokies in wins and innings. He's currently on the 7-Day Disabled List for Greenville.
Price is the 40th player to be suspended for violating the Minor League drug program this calendar year and the third player this week.

Acai Berry Bowl, Gluten-free Print Recipe
It was right after I delivered Gray. I had a quick nap, I snuggled my brand new beautiful baby and then next thing I knew my sister was walking in with a large, icy cold acai bowl. It was in heaven! With all of it.
My first few weeks of motherhood, my sister never came empty handed. Eventually, I'd meet her at the shop, that was conveniently located right next to her office. We couldn't stop. We didn't even try. We even got BEN addicted to them!
The craving lasted MONTHS.
I was determined. It was time I replicated this acai bowl, at home. The first few times, it was too watery. I'm also not a huge banana fan so had to tweak a few times (adding frozen berries helped!) to find the right balance. My sister would literally spy on them as they made it at the shop and then text me.
It became a daily experiment. No complaints.
I almost saved this recipe for warmer weather, but the craving has returned. And I've clearly welcomed it.
Now I just need to figure out how to make a portable version of this so I can take it to work…
Berry Acai Bowl, Gluten-free
makes 1 large bowl or 2 small bowls
- 1 frozen acai packet – I like Sambazon, unsweetened or sweetened
- 1 small banana, preferably frozen
- 1/3 cup frozen blueberries
- 4-5 medium frozen strawberries
- 1/2-3/4 cup soy, almond or milk of choice
- coconut flakes, unsweetened
- fresh berries or fruit, depending on the season or preference
- gluten-free granola – currently liking this and this brand
- chia seeds
- ground flax seeds
- and/or whatever else is in season or sounds good
note: I found the best results were removing the frozen acai packet, wrap in a dish towel and with a heavy object (such as a hammer or garlic press?), beat the crap out of it. Best to do it on a wooden cutting board or hard subject.
Add all the ingredients into the blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl or divide between two small bowls. Add toppings, as much or as little as you like.
*gluten-free *dairy-free – depending on milk of choice

|About Me:
|On the move. Isolation, durability & comfort are more important for me than SQ.
|Headphone Inventory
|Current EDC headsets:
Samsung HS3000 - main set, 'coz it's wireless. Terrible SQ.
Logitech Ultimate Ears 350vm - on airplane flights and as a backup when HS3000 runs out of juice.
Denon AHD2000 – pros: design, SQ. Cons: too warm.
Audio-Technica ATH-A700 – light, comfy, good SQ.
Not using:
Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 - open design lets in too much of outside noise
Brainwavz beta – well built, bad fit, poor SQ, no isolation.
Sleek Audio SA6 – good SQ, crappy cable – fails too often.
Etymotics HF2 - durable, OK SQ, filters fail (clog) too often, unreliable.
A few Sansa Clip+ earphones.
|Source Inventory
|Mobile phone (audiobooks)
Ultrabook computer
Sansa Clip+, Sansa Clip Zip – overhyped crap. Don't last long; either headphone socket fails, either screen.

Jim Ralston outlines some tips on how to adjust your subwoofer for better home theater performance.
The first step to choosing a subwoofer actually begins with the enclosure and how you want the sub to perform. In this video we'll tell you about the different types of subwoofer enclosures available, and find out which one best fits your vehicle and your needs.
Powered subs include all the elements of a subwoofer system — subwoofer, amplifier, and enclosure — in one easy-to-install package. Here's a look at how you install a typical powered subwoofer.
What happens when you add even a small subwoofer to a marginal audio system? Woody found out when he brought home a Polk PSW111.
Sound Ordnance's new B-8PTD powered subwoofer is small enough to fit under most car seats and powerful enough to pump out plenty of bass. We took one apart to show you the separate components and how they fit together into a unified subwoofer system.
When you add the JBL Cinema SB 400 sound bar/wireless subwoofer system to your TV, you step up your sound to the kind of floor-shaking realism and crystal clear dialogue you'd expect from a home theater system.
A few weeks ago, we installed new speakers and an amp in Mathilda's car. Once she got used to how great the upgrade sounded, we came back to add an amp and subwoofer. We installed a Rockford Fosgate P2 sub and then asked Mathilda to share her thoughts on the added bass. We think she likes it.
Now that the front door speakers were in -- and we could ably demonstrate the difference between the front aftermarket and rear factory speakers -- it was time to install the new...
Getting loud bass in your car isn't just about power - where you place your sub in the trunk can make a huge difference. We decided to find out for ourselves just how much of an effect placement has on the quality of a sub's bass.
Kicker's Redline series of amps and subs, which includes the popular CompR and CompRT subwoofers plus their KX amplifiers, gives you the sound and performance you expect from Kicker car audio gear.
Having a subwoofer in your car is a good thing, but if the subwoofer isn't properly tuned, it won't sound as good as it should. This article describes how to adjust your amplifier so that your subwoofer will sound just the way you want it to.
Eric C. of Streamwood, IL, returns to the Custom Car Showroom to exhibit his 2008 Saturn Vue XE, which he outfitted with a Pioneer DVD receiver, Infinity speakers, MTX subwoofers, and a pair of Pioneer amplifiers most of which he hid from view.
Ben H. from Palm Harbor, FL, wanted to get the most out of his 2003 Camry LE, so he pumped up his sound system with two pairs of Sony speakers, a slamming enclosed subwoofer from Boston Acoustics, and a powerful Kicker amplifier. He also tricked out the car's interior lighting.
Sound Ordnance subwoofer enclosures, called Bass Bunkers, are available to house most standard-sized woofers. This Crutchfield video gives you an up-close look at these high-quality sub boxes.
In Part 2 of our Car Stereo Proving Ground series, we added a bass system (subwoofer and amp) and an amplifier to the speakers. Anyone who's ever done this won't be surprised to hear that the music opened up and sounded better. What really impressed us? Read on....
We describe the basics of deciding how much power an amplifier should have when you're trying to match it to your speakers or subwoofers.
Mike S. from Cape Coral, FL, wanted to add premium sound to his Backdraft Racing Roadster, which replicates the iconic looks of the 1965 Shelby Cobra. He tricked out his car with a 12" Polk Audio DXi subwoofer, some Polk Audio component speakers, and a pair of Polk Audio amplifiers.
Stephen D. from Farmington, NM, added a pair of hard-hitting 12" JL Audio w3v3 subwoofers and an Alpine DVD receiver to his 2003 Jaguar X-Type sedan to get more sonic miles per gallon.
With subwoofers, size matters. If you want big bass in your system, and you've got plenty of room in your vehicle, it's a good idea to start with a large sub. But small cars and trucks lack giant...
The F-150 SuperCab gives you more room for family, pets, stuff--and audio upgrades. The comfortable interior offers plenty of space for a new receiver, speakers, and even a subwoofer. You'll have plenty of great products to choose from, and the modular design takes the hassle out of installation.

Photography calendar honors firefighters
Published: Thursday, March 20, 2003 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 20, 2003 at 2:00 a.m.
Free calendars honoring the fire departments of Tuscaloosa County are available at Union Furniture Company in downtown Tuscaloosa.
The calendars feature historical photos dating to 1888 and show firefighters, and the equipment used by local fire departments. Also included are present-day/sfirefighters.
Union Furniture's Aaron Christian thought of the idea for the calendar after the Sept. 11 attacks.
"It occurred to me that not all heroic firefighters live in New York," Christian said.
Also included is a tribute to three local firefighters who died in the line of duty: L. Raymond Montgomery, Joe Edmonds and Tray Gross. Union Furniture is giving away the calendars, one per household.
Each additional calendar is $5. For more information, call/s758-3693.

Hello sofimay,
Obviously the yeasts and bacteria will be a bit more active and will go through their food a bit more quickly but when the food supply runs out they will go into a state of dormancy until a new source of food arrives. If that worries you, you could give it an intermediate feed between uses. Obviously, keep it loosely covered (as you are at the moment) to keep any potential contaminants out.
Certainly keep it in the coolest spot you can to keep the activity as low as possible. By the way, freezing doesn't kill it either and in fact that is a way that people preserve their starter in case of emergency or while they go on vacation.
It is also possible that the flavour will change to some degree when keeping it at different temperatures.
Good luck with your projects.
