1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of communications. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for creating a remote digital agreement formulated through an execution procedure.
2. Description of Art Related to the Invention
Over hundreds of years, written agreements have been used as a vehicle for a variety of purposes, among which is to establish certainty and clarity in business, legal and other types of arrangements between two or more parties to the agreement. In general, one type of an agreement is a "contract", which is defined as a promise or set of promises between two or more parties by which the law allows the party or parties that abide by the terms of the contract to recover damages (e.g., monetary compensation) from the party or parties that breach the contract. Another type of agreement is a stipulation agreement used during litigation in which the parties agree to material facts not in dispute. Although there exists a wide variety of execution schemes, one type of scheme is where the parties to the contract negotiate "at arm's length" to formulate terms of the written agreement (e.g., contract) which are mutually agreeable to the parties.
After agreeing to the terms of the written agreement, the parties select an execution procedure for signing the agreement. The nature of that execution procedure may depend on the importance of the agreement, past dealings between the parties, and many other factors. The execution procedure may be overseen by a "non-signing party" acting as an arbitrator (referred to as "independently-arbitrated agreement execution"), or by the parties themselves in a localized setting (referred to as "mutually-arbitrated agreement execution").
Referring to FIG. 1, mutually-arbitrated agreement execution is generally preferred when all of the parties or the signatories of the agreement 110 can meet at a selected location to execute one or more printed copies of the agreement 120. This guarantees that each party possesses an original copy of the agreement upon adjournment of the meeting. Such meetings are costly and difficult to arrange, especially when the agreement involves a large number of parties.
In the event that the simultaneous assembly of all parties is not feasible or undesirable, an alternative approach may include an independently-arbitrated execution procedure utilizing human arbitration as shown in FIG. 2. For this execution procedure, each signatory 110 1 and 110 2 separately executes one or more copies of the agreement and provides the partially-signed agreements 130 1 and 130 2 to the arbitrator 140 (e.g., a third party who is not a signatory of the agreement). When receiving partially-signed agreements 130 1 and 130 2 from all of the parties, the arbitrator 140 provides a copy of the fully-signed agreement 150 1 and 150 2 back to each signatory 110 1 and 110 2. The disadvantage associated with this execution procedure is that it is entirely dependent on the integrity of the arbitrator 140 to properly follow a static procedure. However, it is apparent that it is quite difficult and costly, especially for parties situated in other countries and/or in different states, to check the integrity of the arbitrator. Likewise, the cost of the arbitration service itself and the time delay in execution of the written agreement may be unacceptable.
Referring now to FIG. 3, another execution procedure (referred to as "non-arbitrated execution") is applicable when the written agreement is of lesser value or when a sufficient degree of trust exists between the "an" signatories ("n" being a whole number, n≧3 in this example). One signatory 110 1 starts the execution process by signing the agreement and forwarding the partially-signed agreement 160 1 on to the next signatory 110 2. As each successive signatory receives the partially-signed agreement, it applies its own signature and forwards it to another signatory until the agreement is fully executed. The last signatory 110 n has the responsibility to return copies of the fully-executed agreement 170 1, 170 2, . . . 170 n-1 to all signatories, as did the arbitrator in FIG. 2. This method has the advantage of cost reduction, since the signatories need not be assembled nor is an arbitration fee incurred. The significant disadvantage is that the success of the process is dependent on the integrity of the last signatory who is a party to the agreement. The last signatory is not compelled to redistribute copies of the signed agreement, especially if a business advantage can be gained by being in possession of the only signed agreement.
Recently, a number of states have passed legislation that recognizes private key-based digital signature as legally binding a party to the terms of a digital agreement. A "digital agreement" is an electronic document representing an agreement that is to be digitally signed by all parties to the agreement through their respective private keys. Like written agreements, digital agreements may be executed through independent-arbitration, mutual-arbitration, or non-arbitration execution procedures. However, it is evident that cost and time saving advantages offered by digital agreements would be greatly reduced by following an independently-arbitrated execution procedure or a mutually-arbitrated execution procedure. Thus, it has been desirable for digital agreements to undergo non-arbitrated execution as shown in FIG. 4.
Referring to FIG. 4, after negotiating the terms of the digital agreement 205, a first party at a first node 200 (e.g., computer) normally signs the digital agreement 205 by (i) applying a hash algorithm (e.g., "MD5" algorithm developed by RSA Data Security of Redwood City, Calif.) to the digital agreement 205 to obtain its unique hash value 210, and (ii) encrypting the hash value 210 with an asymmetric cryptographic algorithm (e.g., RSA algorithm) under its private key ("PrKA") to produce a "first digital signature" 215. It is contemplated that such hashing is not necessary, but may be used to reduce the amount of data thereby preserving bandwidth during transmission and memory during storage. Thereafter, at least the first digital signature 215 is transferred to another party at a second node 220. Additional information may be transferred in combination with the first digital signature 215 such as the digital agreement 205 or its hash value 210. Optionally, some or all of this information may be protected during transfer (for privacy purposes) by encrypting with a previously chosen symmetric key.
The execution procedure can be continued in a serial manner by the party at the second node 220 creating its own digital signature 230 (e.g., in this embodiment, hash value 225 encrypted under a private key "PrKB" of the party at the second node 220). Thereafter, an aggregate signature set 235 (including the first and second digital signatures 215 and 230 and possibly additional information) to the next party of the agreement. This procedure may continue for an arbitrary number of parties with the final party at node 240 being responsible for returning the fully-signed digital agreement 250 (i.e., in this case, a hash value of the agreement individually encrypted with the private keys of each party to the digital agreement) to all of the other signatories.
Referring now to FIG. 5, if the first digital signature 215 is created by encrypting the hash value 210 under the private key PrKA, the first digital signature 215 may be validated by any party with access to the hash value 210 or the original digital agreement 205. Such validation is accomplished by decrypting the first digital signature 215 with a well-known public key ("PuKA") associated with the first party at node 200 to produce a resultant value 260. Thereafter, the resultant value 260 is compared to a previously obtained or computed hash value 210 of the digital agreement 205 as shown. If the resultant value 260 and the hash value 210 are identical, the first party is deemed to have signed the digital agreement. This procedure may be performed to validate the signature of any of the signatories.
As realized by viewing FIGS. 4 and 5, this non-arbitrated execution procedure for digital agreement clearly poses a risk to all signatories, except the final signatory 240 in the event that the final signatory 240 fails to return a copy of the fully-signed digital agreement to each of the other signatories 200 and 220. For example, if the agreement requires a first signatory to make a monetary payment, to supply goods, or to provide services to the final signatory and the first signatory has not yet received the fully-signed digital agreement from the final signatory, the first signatory risks breaching the agreement if it does not act in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Moreover, if the final party later decides to not abide by the terms of the agreement, the first party may have only limited legal recourse to retrieve its monetary payment or return of its goods. This is due to the fact that the first party only has a copy of a partially-signed digital agreement, not the fully-signed agreement which may have been erased, destroyed, or never signed by the final party. Regardless of the outcome, this non-arbitrated execution procedure allows the business arrangement to be controlled by the final party signing the digital agreement by the accidental or intentional failure to return the fully-signed digital agreement.
In a recent cryptography publication by Bruce Schneier entitled "Applied Cryptography" (2nd Edition), an overview is presented of protocols for non-arbitrated, "simultaneous" execution of digital contracts, attempting to address the issue of one signatory to a digital contracts having an advantage over another. These are very tedious, communication intensive protocols, based on each signatory taking a great number of steps in the signature process to build up complete signatures from the other signatories. However, this publication fails to provide a simple protocol for arbitrated execution of digital agreements and a protocol that does not exclusively depend on the integrity of the arbitrator.
Therefore, it would be desirous to create a system and method for reducing the risks associated with execution of digital agreements, while maintaining the cost, time, and convenience advantages of remote execution.
A digital arbitration system comprising an arbitration node and one or more signatory node(s) coupled together through a communication link. Each of the signatory node(s) may include a unique private key which is used to digitally sign a message, forming a digital signature, and transmit the digital signature over the communication link to the server node. Alternatively, if only one signatory node is used, each party's signature may be created within a removable personal token supplied by that party. The server node transmits an acknowledge signal or the digital signatures from the parties to each of these parties upon receiving all of the digital signatures and determining that each of the digital signatures is valid.

The present invention relates to a system and method for digitally signing a digital agreement between remotely located nodes in a manner which precludes fraudulent withholding of the fully-signed digital agreement in an effort to gain an unfair advantage over a contractual business arrangement. In the following description, numerous details are set forth such as certain configurations of a digital arbitration system in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be obvious, however, to one skilled in the art that other system configurations may be utilized while still practicing the present invention.
In the detailed description, a number of cryptography-related terms are frequently used to describe certain characteristics or qualities which is defined herein. A "key" is an encoding and/or decoding parameter being a sequence of binary data that is used by cryptographic algorithms (e.g., Rivest, Shamir and Adleman "RSA", Digital Signature Standard "DSS", Elliptic Curve, etc.) as public and private key pairs, or used by cryptographic algorithms (e.g., Data Encryption Standard "DES") as a selected "session" key shared in confidence between the two parties. A "message" is digital information, for example, an electronic document or a hash value of one or more electronic document(s) if hashing is utilized. A "digital signature" is digital information resulting from information encrypted with a private key of a party. Such information may include, but is not limited to, an electronic document, a hash value and the like. This digital signing process allows a recipient of the digital signature to verify the identity, of the party sending the digital signature. This may be accomplished by decrypting the digital signature with a public key corresponding to the private key of the signing party. A "certificate" is defined as digital information resulting from information, typically a public key associated with the holder of the certificate, encrypted with a private key held by another entity (e.g., manufacturer, arbitration service provider "operator" responsible for the arbitration system, trade association, governmental entity and the like).
Referring to FIG. 6, a first embodiment of a digital arbitration system is illustrated. The digital arbitration system 300 comprises an arbitration node 305 such as, for example, a computer functioning as a server. The arbitration node 305 is coupled to one or more signatory nodes 310 1- 310 m ("m"≧1 and a whole number) through a communication link 315. The signatory nodes 310 1- 310 m may include any device capable of communicating with the communication link 315 and producing digital signatures. Examples of such devices include, but are not limited to, personal computers, servers, mainframes, workstations, PDAs (personal digital assistants), telephones, etc.
The arbitration node 305 contains a cryptographic device 320 that is capable of operating as a digital arbitrator by collecting digital signatures produced from signatory nodes 310 1- 310 m. The signatory nodes 310 1- 310 m may be owned or controlled by each party of a digital agreement having nodes 310 1- 310 m, or alternatively one signatory node may be controlled with an ability to receive personal tokens (e.g., circuitry configured to securely store one's private key) having a private key associated with the party securely implemented thereon. Thus, one signatory node placed at a centralized location may be used by the parties of the digital agreement.
Thereafter, copies of all of these digital signatures (collectively representing the fully-signed digital agreement) may be returned to each of the parties after certain conditions have been met. It is contemplated that the fully-signed digital agreement may be stored in the arbitration node 305 with acknowledgment signals sent to each of the parties that agreement has been signed by all parties. Copies of the agreement may be requested by any of the signatories or may be sent after signing is completed.
The communication link 315 may be accessible to the public at large (e.g., Internet) or accessible to a lesser number of individuals as in a local area network ("LAN") or a wide area network ("WAN"). This communication link 315 provides bi-directional communications between the arbitration node 305 and the signatory nodes 310 1- 310 m representing one or more parties to the digital agreement so that the arbitration node 305 transmits and receives information to produce a legally enforceable digital agreement. The procedure undertaken by the arbitration node 305 for exchanging information is discussed below in detail.
Referring to FIG. 7, the cryptographic device 320 comprises an internal bus 400 interconnecting a processing unit 405, non-volatile memory unit 410, an optional volatile memory unit 415 (as denoted by dashed lines), an optional random number generator 420 (as denoted by dashed lines) and a bus control unit 425. The non-volatile memory unit 405 contains at least the public/private key pair 411 and 412 uniquely associated with the cryptographic device 400. It is contemplated that as arbitration software 413 may be contained within the non-volatile memory unit 405 or may be stored outside the cryptographic device 320, assuming such software is cryptographically protected. When in operation, the arbitration software 413 performs one or more arbitration protocols. The bus control unit 425 controls data transmission between the cryptographic device 400 and the communication link 315, establishing communications with any one of the "m" signatory nodes remotely located from the arbitration node 305.
Optimally, the volatile memory unit 410 may be utilized as temporary storage by the processing unit 405 during execution of arbitration software 413. The random number generator 420 may be used in the initial generation of the public/private key pair 411 and 412 contained in the non-volatile memory unit 410. It is desirable to implement the random number generator 420 to guarantee that a private key of a unique public/private key pair has not been exposed in readable form outside the cryptographic device 320. Also, the cryptographic engine hardware represented by symmetric (e.g., DES-based) and asymmetric (e.g. RSA-based) encryption/decryption units may be implemented, as indicated by dashed lines, to assist in cryptographic operations.
It is contemplated, however, that the cryptographic device 320 may be implemented in a number of alternative embodiments. For example, the cryptographic device may be implemented with discrete logic on a printed circuit board, or implemented within a chip set operating in cooperation with a host processor There exist many embodiments which, although slightly different in design, do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the invention. An example of such an alternative embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 8.
Referring to FIG. 8, a second embodiment of the digital arbitration system 500 is illustrated in which the collective cryptographic operations are performed by the arbitration node 505. In contrast to the description of FIGS. 6-7, the arbitration node 505 does not employ the general purpose cryptographic device. Instead, the arbitration node 505 may be implemented with hardware dedicated to exclusively handle cryptographic arbitration operations.
As shown, the digital arbitration system 500 comprises the arbitration node 505 coupled to a number of signatory nodes 510 1- 510 n through a communication link 515 (e.g., Internet, LAN, WAN, etc.). The arbitration node 505 contains a dedicated hardware arbitration device 520 (e.g., programmable logic devices, state machines, etc.) that primarily performs arbitration functions without being implemented with other general capabilities. The advantage of this type of embodiment is that it may have cost advantages over other embodiments. Once authentication of the dedicated hardware arbitration device 520 is performed (as detailed in following sections), no further authentication is required since the functionality of the arbitration node 505 is not easily modifiable due to its fixed or static hardware implementation.
Referring to FIG. 9, a third embodiment of the digital arbitration system is illustrated in which the collective cryptographic operations are performed by a computer at a platform level (e.g., host processor, memory, etc.), not by a specific cryptographic device as described in FIGS. 7 and 8. The digital arbitration system 600 comprises the arbitration node 605 coupled to a number of signatory nodes 610 1- 610 n, through a communications link 615 (e.g., Internet, LAN, WAN, etc.). The arbitration node 605 is configured with arbitration software stored in memory (e.g., Random Access Memory "RAM", various types of Read Only Memory "ROM", flash memory and the like). The arbitration software is coded to produce similar functionality to that provided the cryptographic device, as shown in FIG. 10 and discussed below, when the host processor is executing instructions associated with the code. However, this implementation does not provide an ability to remotely authenticate the arbitration software implemented within the arbitration node 605 to guarantee its operation in a manner designated by the parties. Rather, the parties need to rely on the integrity and reputation of the owner or controller of the arbitration node 605.
Referring now to FIG. 10, the operations of the arbitration node implemented with one of the three embodiments of FIGS. 6, 8 and 9 to produce a fully-signed digital agreement are shown. First, in Step 705, the parties can mutually verify that each party is authorized to enter into the digital agreement. This can be accomplished verbally over the phone or, when dealing with business entities, by exchanging a digital certificate signed by a private key ("PrKTA") of a trusted authority (e.g., a partner or officer of the business, security office, etc.). The public key of the trusted authority ("PuKTA") should be widely available or verifiable through additional digital certificates or a digital certificate chain. Then, the parties negotiate the terms and wording of the digital agreement and specify the required signatories, including their public keys (Step 710). Next, the parties seek out and tentatively agree on a digital arbitrator, such as those shown in FIGS. 6,8 and 9 (Step 715). Upon agreeing on a digital arbitrator as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the parties check whether the digital arbitrator is implemented with an appropriate and acceptable arbitration mechanism. Otherwise, for a digital arbitrator utilizing only arbitration software as in FIG. 9, authentication of the arbitration mechanism is not performed, but rather of the owner or operator of the arbitration node. Thus, reliance is placed on the reputation of the owner or controller of the arbitration node (Steps 710-725).
More specifically, in the event that the arbitration node employs a cryptographic device having either a dedicated arbitration functionality as shown in FIG. 8 or general cryptographic functionality configured for arbitration (e.g. via software or firmware) as shown in FIGS. 6-7, authentication of the cryptographic device may be performed by a number of authentication procedures. One authentication procedure is by at least one of the parties requesting the arbitration node's (or cryptographic device's) public key ("PuKARB") and its manufacturer's certificate. Normally, the manufacturer's certificate is a message indicating that the arbitration node was manufactured by a certain company. Both the manufacturer's certificate and the public key are encrypted with a private key of a reputable manufacturer or trusted authority (e.g., a trade association, governmental entity, etc.) whose public key is widely disseminated. Thus, the parties can obtain PuKARB and send a challenge message to the arbitration node requesting a response to the message, this requested response being the message encrypted with the private key ("PrKARB") of the arbitration node. If the party can read the response by decrypting it with PuKARB, the arbitration node has been authenticated to be the device that the parties have sought.
If a general purpose cryptographic device configured for arbitration via software or firmware is employed within the authentication node of the arbitration system as in FIGS. 6-7, an additional authentication operation may be performed to ensure that an acceptable version of such firmware/software is installed. This authentication operation consists of querying the previously authenticated cryptographic device for details of its configuration. Based on the authenticity and known functionality of the cryptographic device and its firmware/software, a determination is made as to the acceptability of the installed arbitration protocol.
If the arbitration functionality is implemented as software running on the arbitration node under the control of an arbitration service provider, alternative methods of authenticating both the node and its configuration may be required. For example, one technique is to authenticate the node using a "Challenge-Response" authentication technique. Normally, the Challenge-Response authentication technique involves at least one of the parties sending a message requesting an "operator" certificate from the node. The "operator" certificate includes a message indicating that the node is under the control of the arbitration service provider and a public key of the node. Both the message and the public key of the node are encrypted with a private key of the arbitration service provider. The message and public key of the node can be obtained by decrypting the operator certificate with the public key of the arbitration service provider. Thus, authentication of the arbitration node is implicit depending on the reputation of the arbitration service provider who may be legally responsible for the operations of the arbitration node.
Of course, the highest degree of overall execution security and integrity is achieved when each party of the agreement performs these authentication operations and does so in an independent fashion. If the arbitrator authentication cannot be completed, a new digital arbitrator is selected by returning to Step 715.
In Step 730, each signatory digitally signs the digital agreement by encrypting a hash value of the digital agreement or the digital agreement itself (if hashing is not desired) with its private key. This digital signature, along with a signatory list and preferably, although not required, a copy of both the digital agreement or an equally acceptable alternative representation (e.g. hash value of the digital agreement), is then transferred to the digital arbitrator. This communication to the digital arbitrator is confidential, such as being protected through standard cryptographic means, typically by encrypting at least the digital signature with a temporary session key shared between the signatory and the digital arbitrator. This prevents the illicit capture of the digital signature by antagonistic parties, for use prior to the availability of the fully signed digital agreement from the digital arbitrator.
For each individual message received from the various signatories in Step 735, the digital arbitrator performs the operations described in Step 740. These include (i) comparing the received digital agreement (or its acceptable alternative representation) against all versions of the agreement previously received, (ii) comparing the received signatory list against all versions of the signatory list previously received, and (iii) validating the digital signature using the public key of the signatory derived from the signatory list in the manner described for FIG. 5. As shown in Step 745, the arbitrator must successfully complete all of the operations in Step 740 for all signatories before proceeding.
If valid digital signatures are received from all signatories and all copies of the digital agreement and signatory list are identical, the agreement is deemed to have been fully executed and the arbitrator proceeds to Step 750. In Step 750, the arbitrator distributes an acknowledgment to each signatory indicating that the digital agreement has been fully signed. The digital agreement is contained in the arbitration node to be provided upon request by one of the signatories. Similarly, requests for a copy of the signatory list, or the set of signatures may be satisfied by the arbitration node. Alternatively, it is contemplated that the entire set of digital signatures associated with the digital agreement may be distributed with or without the use of the session key or asymmetric (public-private key) cryptography techniques.
The present invention described herein may be designed in many different methods and using many different configurations. For example, the present invention may be utilized by escrow companies or other financial institutions for arbitrating the exchange of wired monetary payments for records of title (e.g., deed). Another example would be the remote electronic mutual stipulation to a set of facts as might occur in a judiciary proceeding. Likewise, it could be used by any state or federal regulated entities (e.g., Department of Motor Vehicles). While the present invention has been described in terms of various embodiments, other embodiments may come to mind to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The invention should, therefore, be measured in terms of the claims which follows.

Undergraduate Research Bursaries
Our Undergraduate Research Bursary Scheme is currently closed for application.
We offer bursaries to fund undergraduate summer research placements in chemistry-related research areas.
These research bursaries are to fund short (6-8 weeks) summer research projects for undergraduate chemistry students in the middle years of their course within a university department working on an actual research project. The purpose of the awards is to give experience of research to undergraduates with research potential and to encourage them to consider a career in scientific research.
The bursary is worth Ł200 per week (Ł210 in London) for up to 8 weeks to cover a defined research placement.
Eligibility Criteria
- Only one application may be submitted per student.
- The student must be registered at a UK or Republic of Ireland institution (whether full-time or part-time) for the majority of an undergraduate degree in the chemical sciences.
- The supervisor must be conducting research in the chemical sciences at a UK or Republic of Ireland university, research institution or business.
- The student must be in the middle years of their first degree (ie year 2 of a 3-year degree or years 2-3 of a 4-year degree) at the time of application. Mature students are eligible to apply, but must not have a previous degree in any subject.
- The student must not be in receipt of financial support from other sources for the project which is the subject of application.
- The project must not count towards the student's academic credits, be used for expeditions or be conducted overseas for more than 50% of the project time.
- Strictly no more than four students from an individual institution will be funded. Applications from students applying to undertake research at an institution other than where they are studying constitute an application from the home institution, rather than the host.

Online publication and community The Basement just revealed a new editorial highlighting pieces from Supreme's collaborations with The North Face. Made as both a pictorial and video, TB gets renowned IG personality Gully Guy Leo and friend Daniel Pacitti to model the shoot. We also see here some classic outerwear designs from the capsules such as the "By Any Means Necessary" puffer, the "Day" and "Night" summit jackets and the cammo series. The editorial spans 10 years of the duo's partnership from 2007 to 2017 and should be a trip down memory lane for fans of the collaboration.
Furthermore, the jackets will be available for purchase at The Basement's pop-up event on March 25-26.

A home is susceptible to all kinds of pests including cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes etc. Out of this cockroaches and ants are the most difficult to get rid of. This is because they get a lot of stuff to feed on in an average home and this is the reason that they prosper. At the same time cockroaches and ants reproduce quite fast and their population in your home will go on increasing if you don't take steps to get rid of them. If you have cockroaches in your home there is the hazard of ailments like food poisoning because the pests will contaminate your food and drink. Not to mention the fact that cockroaches crawling around in your home can be quite putting off experience.
Of course there are number of products available in the market which can kill cockroaches and ants. Some are in the form of sprays, while others are solid in the form of chalks. However, both these products are made from toxic chemicals which cause as much harm to humans as they do to the pests. At the same time, when you spray a cockroach destroying spray, in a closed space you need to ensure that all the fumes go out before you can inhabit the room again.
On the other hand if you use chalks in the house, then there is a hazard of small children and pets ingesting them. On ingestion these products can be life threatening and will make the individual or animal seriously ill even if it does not kill. This is the reason that most people nowadays are turning towards natural and herbal products to act as cockroach and ant repellants.
The anti cockroach products are made from completely natural ingredients. This makes them safe for children and pets. The best part is that these products are quite easy to use as you simply need to spray the liquid in the spaces which are infested by cockroaches and ants. The effect of these sprays lasts a long time and this eliminates the need to repeat the spraying process.
Hence we can say that this product is cost effective also. There is no danger of any harmful effects even if you inhale the spray while applying it. This is the reason that these herbal and natural anti pest products are becoming quite popular.
Among the other pests in the common household, there are rodents and lizards. Both these pests pose a health hazards and rodents also cause untold damage to your property and belongings. Similar to the common products available for repelling cockroaches and ants, the products meant to get rid of lizards and rodents are also highly toxic and can pose a danger to the life of the people in the vicinity.

BCA investigating officer-involved shooting near Aitkin, Minn.
AITKIN, Minn. (KMSP) - The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating after officers fatally shot a 50-year-old woman who threatened to kill herself and fired multiple shots at officers during a 90-minute standoff on March 29.
Denise Renie Fairchild died of a gunshot wound to the torso after she was shot at 340th Place, a half-mile north of State Highway 210 near the French Lake Wildlife Management Area in Aitkin, Minn. She was transported to North Memorial in Robbinsdale where she was pronounced dead at 10:01 p.m., the Hennepin County medical examiner's office said.
The BCA said Fairchild was threatening to kill herself and fired multiple shots at officers.
"According to the preliminary investigation, when law enforcement arrived, the woman remained in her vehicle and displayed a firearm, threatening to harm herself. Over approximately 90 minutes, responding officers attempted to convince the woman to discard her weapons. At one point she emerged from the vehicle. At least twice during the exchange, the woman fired shots at the officers. At around 7:10 p.m. officers returned fire, striking the woman," the BCA said in a news release.
The BCA identified the officers involved as:
• Deputy Lawrence Derksen has been with the Aitkin County Sheriff's Office for 24 years
• Deputy Greg Payment has been with the sheriff's office for 10 years
• Lt. Jeff Koehn has been a conservation officer with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for 10 years
All three officers have been placed on standard administrative leave. Once the investigation is complete, the BCA will turn its findings over to the Aitkin County attorney's office.

Screwtape Proposes a Toast
The short sequel essay Screwtape Proposes a Toast (1959), first published as an article in the Saturday Evening Post, is an addendum to The Screwtape Letters; the two works are often published together as one book.[5] Screwtape Proposes a Toast takes the form of an after-dinner speech given by Screwtape at the Tempters' Training College for young demons. Screwtape Proposes a Toast is Lewis' criticism of leveling and featherbedding trends in public education; more specifically, as he reveals in the foreword to the American edition, public education in America (though in the text, it is English education that is held up as the purportedly awful example).
The Cold War opposition between the West and the Communist World is explicitly discussed as a backdrop to the educational issues. Screwtape and other demons are portrayed as consciously using the subversion of education and intellectual thought in the West to bring about its overthrow by the communist enemy from without and within. In this sense Screwtape Proposes a Toast is more strongly political than The Screwtape Letters, wherein no strong stand is made on political issues of the day, i.e., World War II.[6]
Other literary sequels
Though C. S. Lewis had resolved not to write another letter, and only revisited the character of Screwtape once, in Screwtape Proposes a Toast, the format, referred to by Lewis himself as a kind of "demonic ventriloquism", has inspired other authors to prepare sequels or similar works, such as:
- Alcorn, Randy (2001). Lord Foulgrin's Letters. ISBN 978-1576738610.
- Forest, Jim (2004). The Wormwood File: E-mail From Hell. ISBN 978-1570755545. Another Wormwood series of instructions.
- Kreeft, Peter (1998). The Snakebite Letters: Devilishly Devious Secrets for Subverting Society as Taught in Tempter's Training School. ISBN 978-0898707212.
- Laymon, Barbara (2004). The Devil's Inbox. ISBN 978-0806649450.
- Martin, Walter (1975). Screwtape Writes Again.
- Miles, Bryan (2003). The Wormwood Letters. ISBN 978-0595283927. Wormwood, who has somehow survived, now finds himself in a new era writing to his own nephew, Soulsniper.
- Peschke, Jim (2010). The Michael Letters: Heaven's answer to Screwtape. ISBN 978-1453660270. The Archangel Michael provides advice to Jacob, a guardian angel.
- Platt, Richard (2012). As One Devil to Another: A Fiendish Correspondence in the Tradition of C. S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. ISBN 978-1414371665.

WASHINGTON -- Say what you will, but you'd best check for recording devices. Alternatively, you might check your thoughts.
(Note: this column first appeared in 1990.)
WASHINGTON -- The Cliven Bundy spectacle in Nevada has provided a Wild West backdrop for our hottest political issues as we gallop toward the midterm elections.
I've used my column to express various opinions, ideas and experiences I've had. I've used it as a way to make others smile or laugh and a way to share my passion for various aspects of life. Today, I use it in a more somber way, to remember the life of a friend who was recently lost.
We in South Carolina like to think of ourselves as caring and generous people -- willing to give our time and money to help our fellow man. This is how we see ourselves.
What's the difference between the terms "pro-free market" and "pro-business?" The former refers to policies that limit or remove government interference in economic activity: low taxes, fewer regulations, the absence of government subsidies, etc. The term "pro-business," by contrast, can mean almost anything. For the state Chamber of Commerce -- as well as a number of local chambers -- it usually means more government spending; government interference in education and healthcare; and wealth redistributions from taxpayers to favored businesses.
Recently, I took my sons on what we called the Cahn All-Boys 2014 Spring Break to see my father in Upper Marlboro, Md., about 30 minutes from downtown Washington, D.C.
We had a funeral at church the other day which was not unusual. Rodney laid his work aside and came to direct the choir. That, too, was not unusual. I sang in the choir. Now that was very unusual.
I have always had a thing about North Carolina. Simply put, I don't like them.
As I have written here at least once before, only to be proven wrong, Spring is finally here. I really hope I am right this time, but I guess we're never completely immune in April to a cold front coming through that would bring a rainy day or two and then the drop in temperature that always follows. But, let's keep the optimism up and say, with faith, that Spring really is here to stay.
WASHINGTON -- The word is out that Chelsea Clinton is with child, making the favorite Democratic presidential nominee a soon-to-be grandmother.
It was a simple phone call, out of the blue, from someone I'd known years before.
Nothing quite marks spring here in South Carolina like the blooming of daffodils and dogwoods, the fluttering of robins and the release of the pine pollen. Each spring as I walk my dog through the woods during the height of pine pollen release, my footsteps stir the airy spores and coat my shoes. Is it annoying? You betcha. But you know this is the natural order of things and one of Mother Nature's most basic processes, reproduction.
WASHINGTON -- The new "agreement" between Russia, the U.S. and our allies is exactly what the former KGB agent ordered.

The overall goal of our research is to preserve the integrity of the extracellular matrix of the corneal epithelial basement membrane zone after mustard injury, thereby providing the epithelial cells a substratum on which to recover. Many studies on mustards have focused on their direct impact on epithelial cells. While these cells have ultimate control, their extracellular matrix is a key factor in their survival, and serves an instructive function, facilitating their migration, proliferation, or differentiation and this represents the focus of our studies. Severely altered matrices, which occur as a result of sulfur mustard exposure, appear to lack the appropriate cues, thereby preventing cells from remodeling the tissue back to a normal state. To overcome this, our approach to developing ocular countermeasures is to identify agents that inhibit basement membrane degrading matrix metalloproteinases, in particular, ADAM17/TACE, which cleaves a component of the adhesion complex between the epithelial and stromal cell layers;we are also investigating the role of autophagy in removing cross-linked proteins in vesicant-modified basement membrane. During the next grant period, we will also continue studies working with the Pharmacology and Drug Development Core and the Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutics Core to further develop doxycydine-loaded hydrogels as potential sulfur mustard and nitrogen mustard countermeasures in the cornea. Our preliminary data and published papers demonstrate that these hydrogels are remarkably effective in mitigating sulfur mustard-induced corneal injury;additional studies are needed to improve their efficacy in the rabbit eye model.

Picture: Nikolai Fraiture of the Strokes performing with his side project Nickel Eye at the Boogaloo club in Highgate London, England - 14.10.08
New York rockers The Strokes were terrorised by producer David Khane while making new album FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF EARTH, as he forced them to strive for perfection.
The LAST NITE stars couldn't wait to work with Khane, who has collaborated with Sir Paul McCartney and Tony Bennett.
But the reality was harsher than they expected, and the meticulous music mogul dragged them through nine months of gruelling recording.
Drummer FABRIZIO MORETTI says, "(He) said, 'That wasn't good enough. Put your tail between your legs and go back to the studio.'"
Guitarist Nick Valensi adds, "He was pretty brutal at times. I mean it really worked for me, but he could be really harsh.
"I would do a guitar solo or something, and he would look at me and say, 'That was really cheesy. You need to rethink that.'
"And I would be like, 'What did you just say to me?'"

Dental Assistant Interview Questions and Answers
1 of 30
1 of 30
What is more important to you, money or work?
User Submitted Interview Answers
I would say they are equivalent important because without work there is no money. So with that being said I give my 100% to earn my money by working hard at work.
Work is more important to me, because I feel that if you are working you have a better chance of being successful rather than relying on money all your life.
I believe that money is important but it is only one piece of the package. It is important for me to enjoy what I am doing, to fit into the company, and feel that I am doing a genuine contribution.
The patients are what are important they should always feel comfortable and satisfied with the work that is being done and also help the to maintain a healthy mouth.
Both. I need work to have something to do and also to bput food on the table and I need money to buy the things I need in life like petrol.
They are both equally important but in order to get money you need to work.
They are both important, in order to get money you must work.
Haha. Well, neither are more important. I believe happiness is important.
I have to say work, I can make money anywhere but to find a job that I am happy in and enjoy doing is more important since I have to present myself there on an everyday basis.
I need to make a living but I enjoy my work as a dental assistant.

Customer Reviews
The ads are awful!
Now you are forced to sit through 30 second advertisements! Please make the ads go away-they will never inspire me to purchase anything...they are more of an annoyance than anything! I enjoy playing this game because it's somewhat challenging to make words, but I will not pay real money to play. The other option is to join Facebook which I also refuse to do! I don't understand why Facebook has to get their grubby hands into every possible facet of life--it's just disgusting!
Unstable app
The app, even though Facebook is almost unplayable now. A ad pops up after every level causing the app to stop working. I use to like playing the game but it is getting to the point that putting up with the ads makes it not worth it ☹☹.
Unusable -- Ads Now Cover Too Much
Ads now cover a swath through the middle of the game board and cannot be removed. You can't see or even get to the letters behind. This app has become increasingly frustrating over time, and is now of no value.

First time use was great next time right wheel locked up cannot go forward or backward. I never removed wheels just transmission. I returned to shop but new guys there have no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx

Curley said that he would rate this business a 9. He said that even though his vehicle was 3-4 days late, the quality of repair was good. They had to reorder parts for the clip since it did not fit. He also said that he had to call this facility himself to find out about the status of his vehicle, rather than them notifying him first.

Tata Motors Ltd. has no plans to acquire car brands, such as bankrupt Swedish carmaker Saab, Chairman Ratan Tata disclosed during a media briefing on Thursday. He admitted that the company did not sufficiently follow up on the launch of the cheapest vehicle in the world -- the Nano. He explained that he didn't think that they were "adequately ready" with an advertising campaign, a dealer network. Sales for Nano have not lived up to expectations.
Bloomberg previously reported in December that Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., which is the largest SUV manufacturer in India, is interested in purchasing at least parts of Saab.
Earlier this year, Mahindra acquired 70 percent of SsangYong Motor Co. for around $368 million in an effort to benefit from the Korea-based company's international sales network and technology.
Bloomberg had also reported that at least one Turkish company is interested in investing in Saab. The government of Turkey wants to have a vehicle brand of its own. It is assisting a manufacturer to acquire at least parts of Saab. [source: Autonews]

UN Chief Arrives in Egypt in Peace Mission
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan arrived in Egypt on Tuesday at the start of a week-long mission in the Middle East aimed at ending eight months of violence between Israelis and Palestinians, reported AFP
Annan will hold meetings with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher and Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, the UN office in Cairo said, cited by the agency.
The UN chief will also make visits to Jordan and Syria on Thursday, and Lebanon on Friday. On Saturday he will be in Israel and Sunday in Gaza.
His spokesman Fred Eckhard said last week Annan was taking advantage of a "window of opportunity" to encourage Palestinians and Israelis to move beyond talks on security to political discussions on how to implement the US-led Mitchell commission's report on ending the violence and returning to peace talks.
Meanwhile, Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdelaziz was reportedly to meet with Annan in Morocco on Tuesday for talks on the Palestinian crisis.
The official Kuwait news agency (KUNA said that Prince Abdullah's talks with Annan would focus on Saudi Arabia's views on the current situation in the Middle East, as well as practical solutions to overcome the condition in the occupied Palestinian territories and restore negotiations.
The prince arrived in Morocco on Sunday and held talks with King Mohammed on bilateral and regional issues - Albawaba.com

Dunlop Tyres
Ozzy Tyres has been selling Dunlop Tyres for ultimate performance and comfort. Dunlop utilizes state of the art technology this innovation and technology comes from the Dunlop racing heritage. They feature excellent silica base tread compound, multi radius technology, directional tread design.
Dunlop Tyres was Australia's very first tyre manufacturer. More than 100 years on, its name remains synonymous with tyres. More than that, Dunlop is a name Australians have trusted for the innovation, quality, performance and reliability of their tyres for more than a century.
For your everyday tyre, the Dunlop SP Touring T1 is a tyre designed with durability in mind for small to mid-size vehicles. The Dunlop SP Touring T1 is engineered with a specialised polymer for wear resistance without compromising the existing grip polymer, making for superior handling on the road. The combination of polymers provides better handling in most road conditions and an extended tread wear rating.
The Dunlop SP Touring T1 has been designed to last, and features four straight grooves with Anti-Hydroplaning slots within the tread pattern for reduced aquaplaning and optimal grip in wet conditions.
For a great performance tyre, the Dunlop Sport Maxx Tyre is the way to go. The SP Sport Maxx TT (Touch Technology) is Dunlop's Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and high performance sedans. Dunlop Touch Technology combines sophisticated tire development and manufacturing techniques to enhance road feedback and driving precision. Like all summer tires, the SP Sport Maxx TT is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The SP Sport Maxx TT uses a motorsport-inspired tread rubber compound molded into an asymmetric design that fine-tunes the rubber contact with the road to blend dry road responsiveness with wet road grip. Dunlop Multi-Radius-Tread Technology distributes footprint pressure effectively across the tire and allows the footprint shape to change more smoothly as it moves from a straight to a curve, leading to better control and more precise driving. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by Dunlop's JointLess Band (JLB) spirally wound Polyamide cord to provide high-speed durability and enhance ride uniformity. Kevlar® fiber is encased in the bead area's reinforcing rubber to create a firmer sidewall with a tighter connection between the tire and rim to increase stability when cornering, as well as enhance performance when accelerating or braking.
Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT tires feature an attractive sidewall design of black letters reversed out of a stylized serrated band and include Dunlop's Max Flange Shield rim protector rib on all sizes to help protect wheels from accidental curb damage.
The Direzza DZ101 is Dunlop's Ultra High Performance Summer tire for the drivers of sport compact cars. The Direzza DZ101 shares the Direzza name with Dunlop racing tires used in the Japanese SUPER GT Championship and was developed to provide crisp and responsive handling. The Direzza DZ101 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The Direzza DZ101 features Dunlop's specially formulated Silicarbon Matrix tread compound (combines silica and carbon black) to enhance grip. The compound is molded into a directional tread design featuring rigid shoulder blocks and two wide, straight tread channels with long, oblique grooves to combine responsive handling, stable cornering and hydroplaning resistance. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by Dunlop's Jointless Band (JLB) spirally wound nylon cord cap ply to stabilize the tread area enhancing tread wear, handling and high-speed capability. A polyester cord body enhances ride quality while Max Flange Shields help resist rim damage due to accidental curbing.
If you have a 4x4 and enjoy tackling the many Australian terrains The Grandtrek AT20 should be your first choice. It is Dunlop Tyres Highway All-Season light truck tire that was developed for the drivers of pickups and sport utility vehicles. The Grandtrek AT20 was designed to deliver low noise, a comfortable ride, and year-round traction, even in light snow.
The numerous Grandtrek AT20 sizes developed for the aftermarket are branded with UTQG Ratings of 500 A B and have been designed to provide a balance of traits appropriate for today's lavish pickups and luxury sport utility vehicles, while the few Original Equipment Grandtrek AT20 tires developed several years ago are branded with UTQG Ratings of 300 B B and appear to place emphasis on low rolling resistance to increase the vehicle's fuel economy above poor weather traction and treadwear.
On the outside, the aftermarket tyres feature Dunlop's advanced all-season compound molded into a tread design that combines independent intermediate and shoulder blocks with a continuous center rib to enhance dry traction and treadwear. Then crosscut sipes, wide circumferential grooves and deep lateral grooves provide the biting edges needed to enhance poor weather traction. On the inside, twin steel belts stabilize the tread while a Dimensionally Stable Polyester cord body and bead design promote ride comfort, handling and treadwear.
Ozzy Tyres have been in the wheel and tyres industry for over 25 years, with specialised staff readily available to assist you in choosing the right tyre.
