Alan Paul's One Way Out : The Allman Brothers Uncut
For as public as The Allman Brothers Band's saga has been for the last 45 years – a mix of magnificent triumphs and macabre tragedies; dues-paying and wretched excesses; clashing egos and brotherly love – their story has never been righteously told … until now. When author Alan Paul says that writing One Way Out – his brand-new oral history of the Allman Brothers – "took a pound of flesh" out of him, there's no doubt but that it did – to do it right.
Paul – a welcome friend of the band and their inner circle for years – manages to present the Allman's story fairly. There's the good, the bad, and – sometimes – the ugly, but as guitarist Derek Trucks once told Paul, "If it happened, it happened." Paul used an oral history format for much of One Way Out, letting those who lived the tale tell the tale. The result is an engaging book about a legendary band that both the seasoned Peach Corps veteran and the casual fan will enjoy.
We had the opportunity to talk with Alan Paul about his labor of love … which, as it turns out, began when he was 12 years old.
BR: Alan, first of all, let me congratulate you – this is quite a piece of work, man.
AP: Thank you very much. It's wonderful to have it out there, of course – and it's a bit surreal. I've thought about this book for 20 years and worked on it very actively for three years. Now it's done; it's here; it's in my hands – it's a great thing.
I feel like it was mine and now it's everybody's … and I love that.
It's so obvious that One Way Out is the work of somebody who knows the music. When did you first get hooked on the Allman Brothers?
I heard them on the radio all the time during the era of Brothers And Sisters and I was attracted to them, but when I was about 12 years old, my brother – who was four years older than me – gave me a copy of Eat A Peach. He let me sit on his carpet, listening to it on his big stereo for hours on end. This would've been the days when you were only as good as your stereo and my brother had a nice one. (laughter)
I hear you: my older brother did that for me … only at the time, it was Johnny Cash. (laughter)
It's a proud tradition with older brothers and sisters. (laughter) I've talked about it with Warren Haynes, actually – he had an older brother who did the same thing for him. In the movie Almost Famous, there's the famous scene where the lead character's older sister turns him on to music like that.
So I sat and listened to Eat A Peach with the double album in my lap … and the psychedelic artwork on the cover played a huge role in it, as well. I didn't know what it meant … I'm not sure how much I understood that it was drug-related. I think I did; it's just hard for me to recreate where my young teen mind was. But it just fascinated me.
What was really cool was I did an interview on a national radio show for my last book – Big In China – about this topic and I mentioned this same incident. After it aired, I got an e-mail from David Powell – he's the artist who created the Eat A Peach album cover. He happened to hear the interview … and it was such a cool moment for both of us.
For David, he knew he'd done great work, but it was a long time ago and in a different life … he's an art professor at SUNY Plattsburgh now.
Cool! (laughter)
Yeah! And he hears this guy on the radio talking about how this art inspired him to be a writer and love music and everything.
And for me, I felt like a 12-year-kid again when David wrote me – to get this message out of the blue. To me, David Powell is a holy man – he created the album cover for Eat A Peach … one of the iconic images in rock. And I'm really, really pleased that I got the original art from David to use in the book, as well.
So this really all comes back to your brother, right? We should give him a shout-out here.
Yeah, absolutely: David – David Paul. I dedicated the book to him.
Rightfully so. So you got bitten at the age of 12 or so …
And the Allman Brothers have been just wrapped up in my life since then. In the 8th grade, I chose Duane Allman as "The Great American" in Social Studies. Not sure what my teacher Miss Zack thought about that – but I wish she could see me now. (laughter) I wasn't just a bum, Miss Zack – I had a plan! (laughter)
Of course it took a few decades for the plan to play out … (laughter)
And then in 1990, when the band had just reunited for Seven Turns, I did a story for Tower Pulse magazine – that was the first time I did something professionally. My early love for the band came back; I interviewed Warren, Allen Woody, Dickey Betts, Gregg Allman, Phil Walden, Tom Dowd – everybody I could think of. That was just a huge thing for me; it was the best story I had written at that point by far because I had thrown myself so into it. That piece sort of indirectly led to me getting a job at Guitar World in 1991.
I had that early love for the band – but when I saw them in '89 and '90, it deepened so much. I was also seeing the Grateful Dead at that time, who I liked a lot … but what they were doing at that point in time paled in comparison to what the Allman Brothers were doing.
When I saw the Allman Brothers, I couldn't believe how good they were. I didn't know who Warren Haynes was when I saw him for the first time, but he was standing up there toe-to-toe with Dickey … and Dickey was really still very much in his prime. It was very powerful.
Then I moved to New York and got this job … and the Allman Brothers were in full swing. The next year the Beacon stuff started and they were around so much; I just started spending more and more time with the band and people like Kirk West, who was their road manager – their "tour magician." (laughter)
Those relationships developed over the years – it wasn't like I'd been hanging around in the back thinking, "Maybe I'll get some good stuff for a book" – I was there because I wanted to be. My relationship with them was born out of a deep love for the band and it was something that was shared. I just had this incredible passion and appreciation for what they were all doing.
Is there any one moment that comes to mind as far as your relationship with the band affecting how you approached writing the book?
Yeah. At some point in the process, Butch told me something that really impacted me: Duane said to the guys – in words and in example: "If you're going to have a band, you ought to have the best band you can have … be the best band in the world." And I thought, "I can't honor these guys and their music and their legacy unless I make every effort to write the best book I can – to try to write the best book in the world." It's not to say that's where you're going to end up … but if you're not shooting for it, what are you doing?
Butch telling me that really made me feel like I needed to up my game.
So, you had a stockpile of interviews before you officially began working on One Way Out.
Oh, yeah – when I started writing the book, I already had 20-some years of interviews. What's funny is, I thought I knew everything there was to know about the band – certainly more than the average guy – but as I started to do new interviews for the book, I realized it was arrogant for me to think that I knew where the holes were and I just needed to fill them in. I started to learn things; and I realized you can't do the interviews and just look at the A, B and C. You need to start asking questions and talking and see where you go … especially with people like Kim Payne and Willie Perkins – guys I got to know through this book. I had to go back to them multiple times and each time it got better and better because they began to trust me; they saw I was asking appropriate questions and taking what they said seriously.
You have to put in the time to get the real stuff. I tried to take it very seriously.
So when it was all said and done, how much of your archival material did you use in the book?
A lot. There were a few things that were frustrating to me on that count, though. For instance, I interviewed Phil Walden several times – but I only interviewed him in-depth about the early days of the band forming. I had my notes – which is amazing – but I could not find the original tapes. Phil was alive for many more years after those interviews and I could have called him up and had many more conversations with him … I kick myself now. On the other hand, I was happy to have what I had.
It varies from person to person – with Tom Dowd, I was able to interview him a number of times and some of it was published, but a lot wasn't. I did an extensive story on the 30th anniversary of At Fillmore East, for instance. I went back to those original interviews and – you how it is when you do a magazine piece – I'd talked with Tom Dowd for an hour but used maybe five quotes.
Absolutely – sometimes you have to boil it down to the syrup.
Listening to those old tapes, I might find only a couple lines or maybe a paragraph that I hadn't used before – but sometimes it was a very interesting paragraph … enough for me to go back to people ask them about this or that little interesting tangent.
It was a bit of a jigsaw puzzle, really.

LONGMONT -- What a way to end a month-long trip -- and open the 4A Tri-Valley League schedule.
The Mead boys basketball team will play its first home game Saturday night and returns from the road on a high note. Thanks to a game-high 25 points from Aaron Cheung, the Mavericks went up big in the first half before holding off the slumping Skyline Falcons 65-61 on Friday night.
"We played our first eight games on the road, and this was big. This is probably the best atmosphere we've played in so far," Mead coach Darin Reese said. "To jump out early withstand a run and finish is a big confidence boost."
The Mavericks (5-3, 1-0) are certainly battle-tested after traveling for the first part of the season, and it came in handy against Skyline. The Falcons entered Friday with a four-game losing streak and looking to turn things around. They got 15 points and 12 rebounds from senior Colton Dabney, but it wasn't enough to overcome a 15-point halftime deficit.
"After a 3-0 start we were pretty excited," Dabney said. "The same thing happened last year; we were 2-0 and dropped seven in a row. It's frustrating."
Friday's game was a microcosm of Skyline's season. The game was close midway through the second quarter when Cheung heated up. He scored 13 points and hit three 3-pointers -- the final one at the buzzer as he was falling on his back to give the Mustangs a 39-24 lead at intermission.
"I've had scoring games like this," Cheung said. "Maybe not one that's been sustained over a half like this one."
The Falcons (3-5, 0-1) used their size advantage to claw their way back into the game. Dabney started getting touches near the basket, and if he wasn't hitting shots he was going to the line or feeding his teammates on the outside.
Senior Dustin Mandrell scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half and Luciano Quesada had eight points after the break.
"At halftime our coach emphasized we needed to post feed a little more," Dabney said.
Falcons coach Michael Peterson declined to talk after the game.
Skyline was able to pull within two early in the fourth and had a chance to take the lead but Mandrell's 3-pointer bounced off the rim
Cheung, who had been silent after a 17-point first half, hit a step-back 3-pointer to make it a five-point game again.
"Shots were falling in the first half but I have teammates that can pick up the slack," Cheung said. "That's what we did in the second half and that's why we were able to keep the lead."
Dabney fouled out and the Mustangs finished the game from the foul line.
"I couldn't be more proud of our kids for withstanding that run and making the next play," Reese said. "We hit some big shots down the stretch and some free throws. That was big for our program."
And now they can go home and finally see some friendly faces.
Mead 65, Skyline 61
At Skyline HS
Cheung 9 2-2 25, Lozinski 5 1-4 11, Desch 3 4-4 11, Nelson 3 1-2 7, Korell 3 0-0 6, Beaver 2 1-2 5, Lamb 0 0-4 0. Totals 25 9-18 65.
Mandrell 5 2-2 16, Dabney 6 3-8 15, Quesada 5 5-6 15, Anthony 5 0-2 10, Soriano 1 3-3 5. Totals 22 13-22 61.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte topped Harvard's baseball team by an 18-10 score Saturday afternoon in a slugfest in Charlotte, N.C. Harvard (3-9) and Charlotte (10-5) will close the three-game series on Sunday.
Five different players had at least three hits in the 49ers 23-hit attack.
Charlotte broke open a 1-0 Harvard lead in the third with seven singles, a double, two walks and two wild pitches to score six runs and chase Brent Suter (0-2) from the game.
Harvard worked its way back into the game with a two-run homer for Kyle Larrow in the fourth and a six-run seventh inning to make it a 16-10 game. In the sixth, three consecutive bases loaded walks and two wild pitches scored runs while Sean O'Hara also drove in a run.
Charlotte added a run in the bottom of the seventh and one in the eighth to account for the final margin.
Larrow led Harvard with a 3-for-4 effort while getting the start at second base.
Kelly McLain earned the win for Charlotte with two scoreless innings of relief in which he struck out three batters.

For my birthday this year, my brother and sister-in-law made me a beautiful piece of wall art. It says, "Believe there is good in the world."
The first few letters of each line are painted a different color than the rest, highlighting a message within the message.
It's a simple reminder that everyone can have an impact on the world, and it takes two parts – believe good exists, and then prove it.
Treveda Redmond is one of the people doing just that. Redmond is an eighth-grade language arts teacher in the DeKalb School District. I met with her last week to learn more about the second annual Back to School Celebration she is coordinating at Welsh Park in DeKalb on Aug. 9.
In about 14 years of teaching, Redmond said she has seen the students who come every year with only a few school supplies. She sees the kids who come to school hungry, or who can't do their homework after school because they're responsible for taking care of younger siblings while their parents work.
Redmond's goal with the Back to School celebration is just to level the playing field, to take away some of those obstacles and let the kids focus on their school work.
"My goal is to put all the resources these families need in one place to go through the school year successfully," Redmond said.
Even as Redmond was dealing with an illness last year, she was working the phones, lining up sponsors and partners to make the celebration a reality.
"I believe in the African proverb that says even as you climb, you reach back and pull somebody else up with you," she said. "Giving back to the community is important."
The location was no accident – Redmond said the first celebration was initially slated to be held on the Northern Illinois University campus, but organizers realized just getting there would be a challenge for the families they're trying to help. Welsh Park is located near several low-income neighborhoods and housing complexes; near enough, Redmond said, that families without transportation can walk.
"If people are already worrying about how am I going to get my child's school supplies, how am I going to get to the grocery store, we didn't want them to have to worry about how to get to this event," she said.
At the event, families will receive school supplies and food from a local food pantry. They can also get free back-to-school haircuts, blood pressure checks, and information about local resources to help with living expenses. But the whole thing is wrapped in a party atmosphere, with a DJ, bounce house, face painting, and a fire truck for children to explore.
It's a community event, Redmond said, and she wanted it to feel like a celebration, where people just happen to leave with things they need.
The world needs more Trevedas, more people willing to step up and be the good.

Enjoy your MidWeek.

Other - Name him
I'm pretty surprised by Viola's showing here. I understand that he's left-handed and throws hard, but that's all I see (along with the strikeouts that go with the package). By all appearances, his command must be fairly awful: He walks way too many and his last two WHIPs were 1.506 (Chattanooga, '08) and 1.642 (Louisville, '09). He'll turn 27 in June. I could maybe see it if there were no other pitching options in the system, but out of the bullpen you could make better cases for Ondrusek and Del Rosario, to start with, and then Thurman and Joe Krebs (both lefties); maybe even Daniel Corcino . . . The best, by far, that Viola has consistently pitched in the last couple years was when he made seven starts in AA in '08. He was sharp. Not sure why they broke off that experiment.

I'll be adding Daniel Corcino to the next poll. I'll probably vote for him somewhere in the next five polls. I love his scouting report, he sounds a lot like Johnny Cueto a few years ago.
I'm reluctant to request guys that I'm not ready to vote for . . . but Joe Krebs is chronically overlooked. He had an outstanding '09 season, and finished it, successfully, in Louisville. I also think Jeremy Horst should be added soon, in spite of a disappointing last season.
My secondary list, roughly in order: Ezequiel Infante, Nathan Driessen, Alexis Oliveras, Byron Wiley, Jordan Hotchkiss, Efrain Contreras, Alexander Smit, Cody Puckett, Miguel Chacoa, Josh Ravin, James Avery and Chris Denove.

--Woody Hayes
Mark Serrano, RHP, Oral Roberts University- A darling of results-oriented analysis, Serrano has put up some of the most impressive numbers this side of Strassburg. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the same kind of stuff, and so isn't in for the same kind of payday.
Serrano has a fastball that sits mostly in the upper 80s, though he has hit as high as 93 at times, and he commands the pitch remarkably well. He has a nice curveball, and shows the makings of an average changeup. If he sounds generic, it's because he sort of is. Lost of pitchers with similar repertoires; Serrano faces weak competition and does much more with his stuff than most. Not a sexy pick, by any means, but could be a good have in the later rounds.

online investors to gain an edge in the market. We then provide that edge to:
Any end user can participate in our Global Stock Prediction Community by visiting
our site and making a stock prediction. In return for sharing your stock prediction,
we instantly show you, for free:
If you register (also free), you can exchange information with other members of
the community, compete against other stock predictors for cash prizes, follow the
best predictors, and more.
While we hope you derive value from all of the features and tools on our site, we
are especially proud of our daily Forecasts. The Forecasts are NOT simply a summary
of what the community thinks. Rather, the Forecasts are the result of many years
of research developing quantitative algorithms which then PROCESS the raw prediction
input from all the community members. Sometimes the Forecasts will be in the opposite
direction of the majority of community predictions, so this distinction is important.
We release these daily forecasts, BEFORE the opening bell in NY, each trading morning.
The forecasts are of the form: "XYZ stock will close UP or DOWN from where it opens
this morning." At the end of the day we track which of our forecasts were correct
and which were incorrect. Then we calculate the theoretical profit that would have
been made trading the forecasts. Our whitepaper explains our methodology (which
is unchanged since we first announced it publically in Feb 2008). Both the whitepaper
and the graph on our homepage show the theoretical performance of trading our forecasts
since we first started releasing them publically in 2007. We consider our Forecast
performance to be the best proof that it is possible to harness collective intelligence
to solve extremely difficult problems – for example beating the market.
Our long term vision is to leverage our success in applying collective intelligence
in the financial area to other areas. We believe collective intelligence can not
only help investors make profits, but also help solve many of the problems facing
our planet and its people.

South African utility Eskom has announced that it will not proceed with construction of a second nuclear power plant at a cost of some $12 billion, citing financial constraints.
Jacob Maroga, chief executive of Eskom, said: "The board has expressed its appreciation to the two bidders for their interest in the Eskom build program, and in particular their desire to participate in the nuclear industry in South Africa. We were impressed by their professionalism throughout the bid process. We thank them for their patience and understanding during the past few months."
In early 2007, Eskom's board approved a plan to boost electricity output to 80 GWe by 2025. This included the construction of 20 GWe of new nuclear capacity, which would see nuclear's contribution grow to 25% from the present 5%. The plan for the nuclear new-build program would kick-start with up to 4 GWe of pressurised water reactor (PWR) capacity, to be constructed from about 2010 with commissioning in 2016. Five sites in the Cape Province were under consideration to host the proposed 'Nuclear 1' project, although the most likely initial site would be that of Koeberg, where South Africa's only nuclear power plant of some 1900 MWe has been in operation for the past 22 years.
In addition to bidding in the tender for the first new nuclear power plant, Areva and Westinghouse have also offered to build the full 20 GWe - with a further ten large EPR units or 17 AP1000 units by 2025.
There has been much speculation recently about the project due to the global financial crisis and the continuing political turmoil in South Africa. After soliciting the bids in January this year, Eskom stated it would announce a preferred bidder in April. However, the decision was postponed until September, at which time came only silence on the subject. Insiders had suggested a decision would be postponed until after a general election in 2009, while doubts were voiced over finance.
Portia Molefe, director general of the Department of Public Enterprises, said that the government supported Eskom's decision not to go ahead with the plant's construction because "it is not affordable at this present juncture." However, she told Reuters, "The South African government remains committed to introducing nuclear because we have to deal with our carbon footprint and we have to diversify our energy mix."

Confidence, not enough talent around him, not enough help on the field, it's contributing to his bad decision making.
You are saying he can't do something he already has. He's not doing it now, I agree, but he has, and he's shown he has, for many reasons, he's struggling, not all of which are his fault.
Teams will catch up to McElroy quick, too many fans always want the next guy when things go wrong, that's not always a good thing.
Besides, if there is a change at QB, I'd rather Tebow get the first chance.
That said, I still think Sanchez should get another opportunity.
rex has been treating him like baby enough is enough man up!
I don't disagree about competing in TC, he should absolutely earn back the opportunity next year. But even this year, I still think the team shouldn't give up on him yet. No other QB gives the team the best chance to win, makes the offense as dynamic than when he is running it, the problem is, he's struggling and playing like ****, so again, today had to happen.
But if this team has a chance this year, and they do for now, if they can somehow get back in it, they need Sanchez to figure it out.
There was no chance Sanchez was ever going to recover from running into Moore's @ss. That will go down as a legendary folly. He was never mentally or emotionally strong enough for the normal highs and lows of the NFL let alone something like that. IMO he was finished before that but that play was just the icing on the cake. Today was proof. He was despondent. That first INT was as brutal an INT as he has ever thrown. On his last pass that got tipped he threw it lazily off his back foot, it was almost as if he quit. I mentioned it in the GameDay Thread and in a matter of seconds McElroy was warming up. Rex saw the same thing I did.
McElroy is smart and is a natural leader. He will not become a leader right away, he needs to earn that through his play. But one thing is for sure, he will never be mentally or emotionally overwhelmed like Sanchez has been.
And it is clearly something that Sanchez was incapable of doing.
He is not the answer. I actually think Sanchez still is better. But we are done anyway

(CNN) -- The United States and Europe have reacted against Russia's military intervention in the Crimean peninsula last week with threats of economic punishments. But their positions are slightly different. Here's why.
How important is Russia's economy?
Russia is the eight biggest economy in the world, with GDP of more than $2 trillion. Its economy -- which is heavily reliant and commodities, particularly oil and gas -- is expected to grow only slightly in 2014 to around $2.4 trillion. Hopes it would be one of the decade's powerhouse economies have faded, with its GDP growing just 1.3% last year compared to 2012, one of the sharpest slowdowns in the emerging markets.
Russia boomed in the late 1990s and early 2000s as energy prices rose, then stumbled as demand for commodities contracted. But its energy supplies remain vitally important for the European Union, to which it supplies a third of its natural gas. Germany, the eurozone's biggest economy, imports around 40% of its gas from Russia.
But Russia's relationship with the West has fractured over the Ukraine crisis, and it now risks being economically isolated by the U.S. and the European Union. Visa bans have been introduced, and harsher sanctions threatened.
What is Russia's economic relationship with the U.S?
The economic relationship between Russia and the U.S. is unbalanced. Russia is the 20th largest trading partner for the U.S., with $27 billion worth of trade exported across the Atlantic. On the flip-side, the U.S. is Russia's fifth largest partner, with just $11 billion worth of trade.
According to Russian Foundation chair David Clark, trade is a "relatively unimportant" component of relations. Energy links are also weakening as the U.S. looks to shale gas for its energy supplies and heads towards self-sufficiency.
However, on Thursday the U.S. State Department imposed a visa ban on Russian and Ukrainian officials and individuals "responsible for, or complicit in threatening the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine." President Barack Obama also signed an Executive Order laying the groundwork to impose sanctions against individuals and entities responsible for the crisis.
In a statement the White House said the move was a response to "Russia's ongoing violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity -- actions that constitute a threat to peace and security and a breach of international law."
Clark said the U.S. could get greater leverage over Russia from financial sanctions aimed at the country's banking system and stability of the ruble. Measures targeted at named individuals, similar to those contained in the Magnitsky Act, could also be effective. "Russia's angry response to the act shows that it works," Clark said.
Russia has threatened to retaliate against sanctions but, according to Clark, it "has a great deal to lose by escalating too far. Seizing western property would make Russia a no-go zone for foreign investors who Russia desperately needs to modernize its economy and maintain energy production."
Is Europe going to do the same?
The EU is Russia's largest trading partner, and there are deep economic links between the two. Almost half of Russia's exports -- $292 billion worth -- end up in EU countries. Russia, in turn, is the third biggest trading partner for the EU, with $169 billion in imports.
The EU has stepped more cautiously than the U.S. on sanctions. On Thursday, the EU threatened to impose sanctions on Russia if the negotiations between Moscow and Kiev did not prove effective in dealing with the Ukraine crisis.
European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said negotiations needed to start in the next few days and "produce results." Without that, he said, the EU would look to additional measures such as travel bans, asset freezes, and cancellation of the EU and Russia summit.
Earlier, a document leaked from British government suggested the UK was happy to impose sanctions -- but only those that would not cause harm to the country's financial sector.
And while G8 members -- excluding Russia -- are threatening to abandon a Sochi summit planned for later this year, Germany has also pushed for more diplomacy.
Clark believes Russia could retaliate against any European sanctions, saying it would probably try and "pick-off some of the countries that have been most forceful in advocating tough measures against it -- especially Poland and the Baltic States." However, "it probably wouldn't retaliate against the EU as a whole or against Germany."
Meanwhile, the West has offered $16 billion in aid for Ukraine, helping the country prop up its flailing finances. Ukrainian leaders have said they will be $30 billion in the hole by the end of 2015. About half of that debt comes due in 2014.
Why the different approaches?
The eurozone has only just emerged from its own crisis, and would be wary of cutting ties with such a powerful economic partner. Its reliance on gas out of Russia would also feed caution. In contrast, the U.S. is weaning itself off Russia's energy supplies and its trade relationship is much less intertwined.
But Louise Cooper, of financial blog CooperCity, said the West risks looking weak if it doesn't follow tough talk with action. The EU has so far "only come up with a threat of symbolic sanctions, even after Crimea has effectively been taken over by Russia with a new pro-Russian government," she noted. Even the U.S. visa ban "will have no impact on either the Russian economy or the American one," she said.
Meanwhile Russia risks isolating itself, Clark said. "It can maintain de facto control over Crimea indefinitely, but it will come at a very considerable long-term cost to Europe's willingness to consider Russia as anything other than a source of trouble and insecurity."

A man has died and two people have been arrested following an altercation in Sydney's west early on Saturday morning.
A 29-year-old Irish national died from a stab wound to the neck following a fight involving a number of people, police said.
NSW Ambulance paramedics were called to a home on Watson Road, Padstow about 12.20am on Saturday morning, where they attempted to save the man. He died at the scene.
Police say there were three women and a man at the property when a second man arrived at the home, leading to an altercation.
The women were not hurt. The second man sustained minor injuries.
A 25-year-old Irish woman, who lives at the home, was arrested by Bankstown Police. A 36-year-old Revesby man was also arrested.
The pair were taken to Bankstown Police Station but no charges have been laid.
Police confirmed officers from the State Crime Command's Homicide Squad were assisting Bankstown detectives with the investigation.
The Irish Consulate in Sydney is also assisting police.

Victor Wanyama has insisted he will stay at Celtic, despite reports subjecting the 21-year-old with a move to Manchester United.
Wanyama has grabbed the attention of European clubs after his impressive performances for Celtic in the Champions League this season.
His contract with the Scottish giants is until 2015, but his performances have led many to believe that he will make a move before his contract ends.
However the Kenyan international has claimed he is happy where he is and wants to remain in the club to help them challenge for more honours next season.
He told reporters: "I'm happy here and I love it here at Celtic so I'll be here next season.
"I still have a contract with Celtic and I'm happy at the club so I think I'll still be here.
"We want to do better than this season so if we can get the treble next season, it will be a very good achievement for me.
"That's my dream for next season. Also, playing in the Champions League again."
The highly rated youngster has made a total of 89 appearances for Celtic in his first two seasons with 13 goals to his name.
He operates mainly as a defensive midfielder and can also play as a central defender. Wanyama is a powerful defensive midfielder with a keen eye for goal. For a young player, he has shown maturity well beyond his years.
He is incredibly strong as is able to hold the ball up well and is not at all afraid when playing against bigger teams. For a guy his size, it is surprising that he is able to dribble with pace and unleash powerful shots on goal at times.
If United do miss out on the Celtic star man, they would have to look for alternatives in covering the gaps in their midfield which has been accused of being soft at times.

2010-11 Men's Basketball
Bluffton 85, Mount St. Joseph 73
Bluffton rallies in second half for 85-73 win at MSJ
January 26, 2011
By: Mallory Kemper, sports information intern
CINCINNATI, Ohio - The Bluffton University men's basketball team came from behind in the second half to pick up an 85-73 win over Heartland Conference rival Mount St. Joseph on Wednesday, January 26. The Beavers improved their record to 13-5 overall and 6-5 in the Heartland Conference. The Lions slipped to 3-15 overall and 1-10 in HCAC play.
Less than 12 seconds into the game, junior Nick Lee (Mt. Blanchard/Vanlue) sparked the Bluffton offense with a triple. At the 13:24 mark Josh Johnson (Ottawa/Ottawa-Glandorf) made two freebies to tie the game (11-11).
The two HCAC foes battled the next six minutes before a Clifford Class trifecta put The Mount ahead, 21-17, with 7:04 left in the opening half. Dustin Kinn (Alvada/New Riegel) answered with a layin, but David Mann drained a three-pointer at the 5:39 mark. A couple of free throws from Mychal Hill (London/Jon.Alder) pulled the Beavers within three.
On consecutive trips down the floor, Ben Haarman, who torched the Beavers for 37 points, including 26 counters over the final 3:33 when the two teams met in December, made two triples to put MSJ up by nine (34-25) with 3:33 left in the first half. A trifecta by Josh Fisher (Rockford/Parkway) with six seconds left in the first period brought Bluffton within seven at the break (43-36).
Haarman was still on fire to start the second half, capitalizing on a couple of freebies and a layup. Less than two minutes after the break, Hill got to the rack twice to cut the deficit to five.
At the 15:29 mark, a hoop and harm from Kinn knotted the score at 47. From there, Bluffton took control and went up by seven (54-47) with buckets by Kinn and Will Pope (Somerville/Preble Shawnee). The Beavers continued to sizzle with a Fisher triple and a Johnson bucket for their largest lead of the night, 76-61, with 4:23 left. A three-pointer by Haarman pulled the Lions within nine but the Beavers ran away with an 85-73 victory.
Leading the way in the scoring column for Bluffton was junior Mychal Hill with 26 points, just two shy of his career high. Hill connected on 6-of-11 from the floor, two triples and he was a perfect 12-for-12 from the free throw line. Dustin Kinn added 11 points on 3-of-4 shooting and Josh Fisher had 10 points on 2-of-3 from behind the arc. Junior Brent Farley (Lima/Shawnee) chipped in with nine points, seven rebounds and four assists.
The Lions Ben Haarman continued his superb play against Bluffton, going 9-of-17 from the floor with six assists and three steals. Haarman finished the season series with 67 points in his two meetings with the Beavers. Jordan Brown added 10 points on 5-of-6 from the field.
The Beavers hit 23-of-45 (51.1 percent) and the Lions made 26-of-54 (48.1 percent) from the field. The Beavers proved to be more efficient from the line, knocking down 32-of-38 (84.2 percent) while MSJ made 14-of-18 (77.8 percent). Bluffton out-rebounded the Lions, pulling in 32, compared to 20 for MSJ. Mount St. Joseph had 17 turnovers, while Bluffton committed 20 miscues.
The Beavers will be back in action on Saturday, January 29, when they host Franklin College. The Hall of Fame Day contest in Founders Hall is scheduled to tip at 4 p.m.

When the conversation turns to the best in shop vacuums, two names invariably crop up. Both Fein Tools and Festool have taken the "shop vac" concept to levels that have actually earned their machines a new designation: Fein and Festool "dust extractors" not only run circles around the typical shop vacuum in general clean-up mode, they're also designed for woodworking dust collection, and do a bang-up job of catching the dust and debris put out by bench top and hand held power tools.
The amazing thing about the vacuums from both manufacturers is how well their dust collection function works. Just hook a Fein or Festool dust extractor up to a random orbit sander and you'll see what we mean. A machine from either manufacturer, in fact, can make working with a variety of power tools virtually dust free. If you've never had the experience operating sanders, biscuit joiners, portable planers and other small power tools without letting yourself in for major broom and dustpan work, all we can say is: try it, you'll like it!
Okay, so both manufacturers put out top of the line vacuums. How do you choose the best one for you? It's tough to take sides, but here are a few observations that may help you make up your mind, including an assessment of a few recent upgrades from Fein that we think are definitely worth taking into account.
Historically, Festool has arguably had the edge when it comes to comes to on-the-job dust collection. Not that there's anything lacking in the Fein vacuums' abilities. It's just that Festool CT series vacuums are so perfectly adapted to the task. They're built from the ground up specifically for the purpose. Their relatively small footprint and compact rectangular shape make them easy to transport to a jobsite, where good dust collection is extremely important. And if you team them up with Festool's line of top-shelf power tools and the clever Systainer system, you can stack all your favorite dust-makers neatly on top of your trusty Festool dust-catcher and roll the whole works around to wherever you need it.
Festool vacuums come standard with a pleated filter and bag system that catches particles down to one micron – plenty, for almost any situation. The hose and cord fit neatly into a "garage" on top of each of the Festool models, adding to the already easy to move around design. And while it might not be the first thing you'd rate as a "must have", you'll quickly develop an appreciation for a Festool vacuum's "roll-ability". With an extra large, non-swiveling rear caster and two smaller swiveling casters in the front, CT vacuums will roll around the shop or jobsite with ease, and won't get hung up on any miniscule piece of debris on the floor.
Fein vacuums, on the other hand, are not without their own standout qualities. In fact, there's one area where the Fein Turbo series vacuums just can't be beat: they are amazingly, blessedly quiet. The first time you turn on a Fein vacuum and hear it's teeny, tiny voice, you may feel the need check and see if the thing is actually working. When you do, you'll find that just like Festool CTs, Fein vacuums are miles ahead of the typical shop vac in terms of power.
Fein vacuums are built more like shop the vacuums you're used to seeing, and for comparably priced models, have a larger capacity. The Festool CT Midi, for example, has a 3.3 gallon bag-capacity, whereas the Fein Turbo II boasts nearly triple that, with room for 9 gallons of dry debris. An advantage? That depends on what you're after. If you want a vacuum that'll suck the shavings out of a "lunchbox" planer or a portable table saw without having to be emptied frequently, then yes, definitely.
In terms of power and overall quality, the difference between the two manufacturers is, for practical purposes, too close for consideration. Both are built to last, using quality components and first-rate engineering. Both provide exceptional suction at appreciably lower noise levels than the vast majority of models on the market. And both, importantly, have a tool-actuated mode, which means they'll turn on and off automatically when you turn on and off a power tool that's plugged into a receptacle on their respective control panels.
Until the most recent generation of Fein vacuums, though, Festool did have at least one clear advantage. Festool vacuums are all outfitted with a suction level control that lets you dial in the level of power you need for a particular job. This is especially important when collecting sanding dust. If the suction is too high, it will have a tendency "clamp" the face of the sander to the material. With a random orbit sander, this effect can even result in nasty swirl marks. Dialing down the power, you'll be able to find the perfect balance of dust collection suction and a comfortable sanding experience.
And we could site a somewhat clunky design of the "classic" Fein vacuum. While a vast improvement over the cheapie, uncooperative plastic casters you'll find on many a lesser shop vac, the four caster set-up supporting the tall, slightly squared-off Fein vacuum body always felt a little tippy. Mixed in with such a plethora of fine qualities, it's not a huge grievance. But if you're already spoiled by having a Festool CT follow you around the shop like a devoted beagle, you'd notice room for improvement.
Low and behold – Fein's answered both counts in a new Turbo II design. Perhaps the best all-around choice for the average woodworker among the three Turbo models, the middle sibling now features a suction control dial, just like all Festool models. Fein also lowered the Turbo II center of gravity, streamlined the shape, and added two extra casters in the front for improved stability and maneuverability. Best of all, they managed to keep all the good parts in the process. The new Turbo II has the same impressive capacity, powerful two-stage motor and whisper-quiet voice as always. Now who's king of the shop vacs? It's still a tight race. And who knows? Maybe Festool's busy plotting a response.

Students, faculty and guests gathered at the Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology's (HIMB) Marine Science Research Learning Center, Thursday, January 13, to celebrate the opening of its new building on Coconut Island.
Funding for the building came from a variety of sources. HIMB worked with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries Pacific Island Region to develop a place for hands-on marine science education for Hawai'i's K-12 students. The Harold K. L. Castle and the Emmett R. Quady foundations provided additional funds needed to complete the facility. Honolulu CC donated a sophisticated audio-visual system with integrated microscopes and in-kind contributions and building materials were provided by Brett Hill Construction. The facility is equipped with laptops, digital microscopes and supplies to conduct investigative marine science labs.
"This new building will afford more opportunities to our local high school students and help provide pathways to careers for our future marine scientists," said Malia Rivera, principal investigator of the HIMB Education Program. "We are pleased to be able to offer this state-of-the-art facility to Hawai'i's schools."
The opening was conducted in tandem with the awards luncheon for the recipients of the Carol Ann and Myron K. Hayashida and Alan Church Environmental Steward SOEST scholarships, which support local undergraduate and graduate students pursing studies in marine science. The scholarships cover the cost of school tuition and books, and provide funding for student research projects.
The 2011 awardees include: Veronica Gibson, Bethany Kimokeo, Darin Hayakawa, and Kaipo Perez III. All four recipients graduated from Hawai'i high schools and showed high academic merit while pursuing their studies.
"We are so proud of the amazing work that our students accomplish," said Jo-Ann Leong, director of HIMB. "We are grateful to be able to offer these prestigious awards."

It would be easy to assume that Kip Moore's new video for his current single, "Beer Money," would be a good-time video full of smiles, clinking glasses, and lots of suds.
And in some respects, that's exactly what it is. But when you dig down a bit, "Beer Money" is actually a lot more than just a party anthem. It's a song that builds out of a place of hardship and pain. And the video for the song reflects that.
"When the lights go down, and your stuck here in this town," Kip sings in the opening lines of the song, just after getting his last check from his boss and sauntering, bummed and alone, to his truck.
But all is not lost–because like many resilient folks in tough situations, Kip isn't going to let that bummer moment kill his whole day (and night). He picks up his girlfriend–a waitress, also presumably working a tough, tiring job–and takes her out for a night on the town. "Come on come on, baby I'm buying," he sings.
With that emotional turn, the song takes on a message speaks to the core of the American spirit. We might lose our jobs and face other hardships in our day-to-day life, but struggles like that don't need to kill our soul.
In its lyrics and American-made melody, the song clearly comes out of the tradition of artists like Mellencamp and Springsteen (the lyrics even include a line about "dance[ing] in the dark"). "Beer Money" has a big, thick melodic structure that starts in a place tinged with melancholy, then builds into a celebration. Sure it's true, the job sucks, life is tough, and money is tight. But hey, life isn't all bad, because, at least for tonight, Kip has a little "Beer Money"–and he's buying.

The PhD Project, an award-winning program to create a more diverse corporate America, announces that Project participant and Chicago native, Dr. Erica Anthony, successfully defended her dissertation titled, "What About the Leader? The Antecedents and Consequences of Leader Empowerment". Dr. Anthony received her Ph.D. in Management from Purdue University. She has joined the faculty at Morgan State University.
Dr. Anthony is one of only 297 African-American Management business school professors in the U.S., most of whom have become professors since The PhD Project was created in 1994. The Project's vision is to diversify corporate America by increasing the number of minority business professors (African-American, Hispanic-American and Native American), who attract more minority students to study business in college.
"Dr. Anthony has succeeded in the very difficult endeavor of becoming a business school professor," said Bernard J. Milano, President of The PhD Project and president of the KPMG Foundation, founder and lead funder of the program. "She has demonstrated dedication, hard work and intelligence in joining the rapidly growing ranks of minorities choosing to influence the next generation of business leaders as college professors. The PhD Project takes great pride in her achievement, and looks forward to following her success throughout her career."
The PhD Project, a 501(c) (3) organization that the KPMG Foundation founded in 1994, recruits minority professionals from business into doctoral programs in all business disciplines. Since its inception, The PhD Project has been responsible for the increase in the number of minority business professors from 294 to 1,168. Further, 359 minorities are currently enrolled in doctoral programs, and will take a place at the front of the classroom over the next few years. The Project attacks the root cause of minority under-representation in corporate jobs: historically, very few minority college students study business as an entrée to a corporate career. Diversifying the faculty attracts more minorities to study business and better prepares all students to function in a diverse workforce.
Dr. Anthony began her Ph.D. journey by attending the 2006 November PhD Project Conference. Each year, highly qualified professionals who are considering leaving their careers to enter doctoral programs in business are invited to The PhD Project Conference where they hear from deans, professors and current minority doctoral students about the benefits of pursuing a business Ph.D. Conference participants are provided with the tools and resources they need for the application/admission process to doctoral programs. Once they enter a program, every minority business doctoral student in an AACSB accredited U.S. business school becomes a member of one of The Project's five (accounting, finance, information systems, marketing and management) Doctoral Student Associations (DSAs). Each year, The Project holds a Conference for each of the five DSAs where the doctoral students come together forming a strong support network while receiving important tools to help them navigate their doctoral programs. Dr. Anthony is a member of The PhD Project Management Doctoral Students Association.
Some of America's top companies, foundations, associations and academic organizations support The PhD Project. They are: KPMG Foundation, Graduate Management Admission Council, Citi Foundation, AACSB International, 275+ universities, AICPA Foundation, DiversityInc, JPMorgan Chase Foundation, The Merck Company Foundation, Microsoft Corporation, Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP, Rockwell Collins, American Marketing Association, John Deere Foundation, AT&T, CIGNA, ADP, American Express, The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, California State University System, Edison International, Lincoln Financial Group, Greater New York Hospital Association and Aerotek/TEKsystems (operating companies of Allegis Group).

Some lucky summers, it can be all about the peaches, a veritable "Peach Festival"! Here are four of my very favorite peach recipes.
First up, a luscious peach pie, a recipe I've been making for many years, kissed with a little orange that somehow makes the peaches just a little bit more 'peachy'.
Then three simple summer recipes, a cold peach soup (or wait, is it a peach smoothie? you decide), a savory peach appetizer, and the oh-so-luscious roasted peaches, one of my favorite simple summer desserts.
Oh, do you know the muffin man, the one that lives on Drury Lane? You may recognize this old nursery rhyme but do you know the peaches man, the one at Kirkwood Market?
My nearby "peach man" lives at CJ's Produce where he sells sun-blushed Eckert peaches from now til Labor Day. St. Louisans are lucky to have over-the-sink eatable and pie'n'preserve perfect peaches grown just across the river on farms where fruit trees first blossomed 145 years ago. Lucky us, for a few summer weeks, life can be all about the peaches.
Fresh Peach Pie really lets the peaches shine. The fruit softens more than cooks. The light orange sauce deepens and brightens the peach flavor. It's a winner.
PEACH APPETIZERJust stir a few red pepper flakes, a couple of drops of Tabasco, some minced jalapeño and a fresh chopped peach into peach preserves. Spread over Homemade Ricotta, cream cheese or goat cheese and serve with crackers or thin slices of bread.
PEACH & CANTALOUPE SOUPIn a blender, just mix four skins-on peaches, half a cantaloupe, 1/2 cup nonfat yogurt, 2 tablespoons orange liqueur, 2 tablespoons fresh mint, the zest and juice of a lemon, plus sugar to taste. The soup is especially pretty served in clear glass bowls. For a starter, top with crumbled feta; for a dessert, drizzle with cream. Or serve it in a glass, like a peach smoothie!
ROASTED PEACHESFor a simple dessert, just put a teaspoon of brown sugar and butter into peach halves, top with a little cinnamon, a sprinkle of good salt and a few strands of fresh basil. Roast for 20 minutes at 350F, then top with a tiny spoon of sour cream. Peach-licious!
Time to table: 2 – 3 hours
Serves 8
- 1 pre-baked and cooled pie crust (such as Flaky Tender Pie Crust or Almond Pie Crust, see notes below)
- Water to cover
- 6 ripe peaches
- 1/2 cup sugar (Splenda works great)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- Zest of an orange
- 1 cup orange juice (fresh-squeezed is wonderful)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar (Splenda works great)
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Orange zest for garnish, optional
PEACHES Remove the peach skins by "blanching". Here's how. Bring water to boil in a saucepan. Two or three at a time, drop peaches into boiling water for 1 minute. (Set a time, no longer!) Remove with slotted spoon, let cool. Slice to the pit lengthwise, slip off skins. Slice each half into six pieces, then halve the pieces.
FILLING Meanwhile, stir together sugar, cornstarch and zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slowly stir in orange juice and cook til thickened, stirring often. Remove from heat and stir in butter and extract. Gently combine hot filling with sliced peaches and turn into pie crust. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 – 3 hours until very cold and set.
TOPPING Just before serving, whip cream with an electric mixer. While still beating, slowly add sugar and extract, then beat til stiff peaks form. Spoon into a freezer bag, snip off a corner and squeeze whipped cream decoratively onto the pie. If you like, garnish with orange zest.
PRIZE-WINNING PEACH PIE! When recipes appear on Kitchen Parade, I like to think each one is "the best" of its class, the best apple pie recipe, the best peach pie recipe, and so on. Fresh Peach Pie has been my go-to peach pie recipe since the 1980s, so delicious and fresh-tasting that I had no reason to seek out another. And then. And THEN I judged my town's peach pie contest and discovered First-Prize Peach Pie with a Lattice Crust. So now Kitchen Parade has two peach pie recipes! The two pies are entirely different, one tastes light and fresh and creamy, the other is deep-flavored and totally peachy. So you'll need to choose one or the other -- or make both and decide if you have a favorite! Me, there's no choosing between the two.
LOW-SUGAR, LOWER-CALORIE FRESH PEACH PIE In 2012, I experimented with an almond-meal crust, it was great! For the crust, mix 1-1/2 cups (130g) almond meal with 3 tablespoons melted butter and 3 tablespoons Splenda. Press into a pie plate with the back of a spoon and bake at 350F for about 15 minutes or until golden. Let cool before filling the crust. The crust is soft, it doesn't "stand up" to slicing the way a traditional crust does. That makes it a little messy to plate but the taste is excellent.

I dorked up the sauce (used lemon zest instead of orange, used vanilla extract instead of almond, added a dash of cardamom because I saw it while looking for almond extract, and turned on the burner under the sugar/cornstarch/zest before referring a fight between the kids) but it STILL tasted terrific!
Nice way to use up the last of the half bushel of peaches I picked up at the farm stand on the way home from the beach.

ROCKFORD – Former Dixon comptroller Rita Crundwell faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty this morning to a single charge of federal wire fraud.
Crundwell, 59, will be sentenced Feb. 14. She remains free on a $4,500 recognizance bond.
Click here to read the plea agreement.
Click here to read the new release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
The plea comes nearly 7 months after Crundwell was arrested April 17 at City Hall.
According to the May 1 indictment, she wired $175,000 from a bank in St. Paul, Minn., to a bank in Cincinnati in November for her personal use.
The interstate transfer qualified it as a federal offense.
However, an affidavit accompanying the indictment detailed a 22-year scheme to misappropriate more than $53 million in city funds and funnel the money into a secret bank account she opened in 1990.
She told federal agents she used some of the money to fund her horse operations. Prosecutors say she also used the money to buy cars, boats, lavish homes, jewelry, and other items.
Many of her assets, including her herd of quarter horses, have been auctioned by the U.S. Marshals Services.
Marshals say the money will be given back to the city of Dixon when Crundwell's case is resolved.
Her legal woes aren't over, though. She also is charged with 60 counts of theft in Lee County. Prosecutors say she stole more than $11 million from the city since January 1990.
She has a pretrial conference Dec. 19 in that case.
Check back for updates.

Clela Rorex gasped when she heard the news Thursday.
A judge had refused to stop Boulder County from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. And shortly thereafter, Denver's county clerk followed suit, and began authorizing gay marriages in the Mile High City.
"Oh my gosh," she said. "Oh my gosh. That's great. I am so happy."
Rorex made Colorado history in 1975, when, as Boulder County's clerk and recorder, she issued marriage licenses to six same-sex couples, allowing the first gay marriages in state history.
She ultimately complied with the then-attorney general's order to stop.
On Thursday, Rorex, now 70, said her decision in 1975 shaped her entire life. She hopes that one day it will seem unremarkable that gay couples can marry.
"It's always been there in so many ways," she said. "Relationships I couldn't have with people who believed otherwise. Jobs I didn't get. The mockery that was made.
"I knew I made the right decision, but in some ways I grew into the decision as the gay community decided for themselves that they wanted to marry."
She applauded current Boulder County Clerk Hillary Hall's decision, after nearly 40 years, to once again issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
"I am truly at a loss for words," she said. "I am so happy for Hillary that she could start this again and can continue and we don't have to keep repeating history. It's such a waste of time and taxpayers' money for state officials to keep defending this.
"I hope this issue just becomes part of the pattern of society," she said. "It won't be something that I or anyone has to keep interviewing about and defending for years to come."

|Marouane Fellaini is 21/10 with Bet365 to score at any time against City on Saturday
The 28-year-old told the club's official website: "Everton away is always very tough. It's a game that they always want to win and it is going to be hard for us.
"They will be hungry too, after they lost to Wigan last weekend. Fellaini is very good and a very tall player, so he can be difficult to deal with."
"They play a lot of long balls and they are very strong in set-pieces.
"Their full-backs overlap a lot, especially Leighton Baines on the left side and he can deliver the ball very well.
"So, defensively we have to be very organised and fight for every ball and with the quality we have we need to create and take our chances when they come along."

... is it actually a good idea to use ICANN's trust anchor for the root zone, given their history?
Also, is this likely to make life harder for alternate roots?
No and Yes.
If, for your second question, you want to send mail to a Yahoo! user, from an alternatively name-rooted host.
Now, can I interest you in finest quality and 99% pure, Monongahela all-vegetable ingots?
then you should use them for your DNSSEC root.
Unless you are using an alternate DNS root then you are already trusting ICANN, and DNSSEC will help prevent you from man-in-the-middle attacks, decreasing the number of untrustworthy people who can mess with your DNS queries.
Introducing the intractable problems of commercial CAs to the remediable problems of DNS.
Great solution.
You are confused. DNSSEC (no hyphen) does not use certificates nor CAs.
DNSSEC uses an anchored chain of trust system applicable to only hierarchical systems. It is similar in may ways to PGP, but, as long as a DNS operator chooses to trust a root key (not cert), the rest of the trust is cryptographically chained to the bottom of the tree.
The system does place a great deal of responsibility on the root, but, if you read the way the keys are handled, the actual "keys to the kingdom" are spread across a number of people, all well known and not a part of ICANN. A fair percentage are academics. It is a very elegant and very carefully thought out system and is cryptographically provable.
Also, similar to SSH, only you hold the private keys for your zones. You don't give those to anyone.
I mostly agree with your, but your last sentence.... well, let's have a look shall we ?:
"Also, similar to SSH, only you hold the private keys for your zones. You don't give those to anyone."
Which is similair to SSL/TLS protocols like HTTPS.
Which is similair to SSL/TLS protocols like HTTPS.
The difference here is that with TLS, your CA-signed certificate is sold separately. DNSSEC in theory would let a domain owner store the fingerprint of a self-signed TLS cert in the domain's zone file because the domain registrar acts as the CA. The only problem left is lack of support for SNI (name-based virtual hosting extension for TLS) in IE <= 8 and Android <= 2.3.
SNI is available for IE7 and IE8 on Vista and IE8 on Windows 7, it is actually the library which is part of Windows XP where the problems is with SNI, which also effects Safari on Windows XP.
SNI is available for IE7 and IE8 on Vista and IE8 on Windows 7
IE 9 is also available for these platforms. The rule of thumb that I have been following is that in practice, IE <= 8 means IE on XP. Or how is this invalid?
No. But it is a step in that direction. When everything is secured with NSEC3, if you drop all unsecure answers, they will not be able to hijack NXDOMAIN.
It all depends on how the Hijacking works. All this (DNSSEC) does is validate that the DNS information (IP address) for a given hostname is correct. This will stop rogue DNS servers from reporting an incorrect IP address for a give hostname.
From my understand of the ISP hijacking of web traffic, they are doing deep inspection of the packet data, looking for requests that are HTTP, and inserting data (be it a redirect or ads). They are performing a man-in-the-middle attack on unencrypted data.
The only way to stop ISP hijacking is to use https everywhere. Even with that, ISPs could use man-in-the-middle and inject a new SSL cert, but it probably wouldn't be signed by a trusted source (so the user would get an evil warning message from their browser).
No, that's not how any of that works. First of all, the news is about the reverse lookup domains, which is what you use when you have an IP address and want to know its DNS name. This is somewhat important but doesn't affect typical client usage. Secondly, ISPs usually don't hijack 404s but NXDOMAIN errors: In case of a 404, the domain resolves, the server answers but the URL doesn't exist on the server. What ISPs actually intercept are unresolvable domains, and only if you use their recursive resolver. Par
We are both correct. I wish I could update my other post saying that you added the more common case (and easier to do for ISPs).
In my post, I was talking about the shit Mediacom has been doing [dslreports.com].
If ISPs should then actually go for the man in the middle attack that you described, DNSSEC will probably also stop that, because a standard for using DNSSEC to distribute SSL keys is being worked on.
TLS (formerly SSL) allows only one certificate per IP address. The solution used to be allocating an IP address for each distinct certificate, but that's a lot harder now that IPv4 addresses are exhausted. SNI, an extension to TLS, allows a separate certificate per hostname, but IE <= 8 doesn't know SNI and can therefore see the certificate of only the primary domain on that IP address.
No, a 404 is 'DNS is found, HTTP URL is not found'.
But, if you mean NXDOMAIN 'DNS is not found' responding, yes, if your ISP enables DNSSEC in their recursive resolver.
The literal case of a 404 will not be affected.
The more common case of re-directing queries to port 53 to their server which responds with the address of their internal advertizing page (such as the one Comcast uses) will be stopped and Comcast has already acknowledged that they will be forced to stop the practice. I do give them credit for agreeing to enable DNSSEC on their servers even though it does break this advertizing mechanism.
All of these stories on DNSSEC make me wonder about what software supports it. As far as I know, Windows 7 and the various *BSD and Linux operating systems have a resolver that supports DNSSEC. No browser I am aware of can tell you if the security status based on DNSSEC. There is not really a point for DNSSEC if you cannot indicate its status somehow to the user or have the browser reject spoofed pages, or have the browser force secure resolving, etc.
Here's what I do on Windows XP: Use Unbound [unbound.net] as a local recursive, caching and validating resolver that returns an error when a signature doesn't validate. The DNS in my network connections points to 127.0.0.1.
No browser I am aware of can tell you if the security status based on DNSSEC.
There is a plugin [mozilla.org] for Firefox.
I've been hearing about DNSSEC for quite a while now, but still don't understand if I need to find out more and possibly do something about it.
I take care of about a dozen small zones under various TLDs. The DNS servers for these zones are all running Bind 9 on Debian. None of the domains has a real certificate, but they all use self-signed certs for things like mail with SSL/TLS, VPNs, etc.
I also manage company DNS servers, which are the resolvers for the machines on the LANs.
So, is there anything special
There are 2 things you could do.
1. The easiest thing you can do is to use a DNSSEC capable resolver and give it the 'root key material' and have it setup to update automatically. Every 6 or so months a new key will be generated, so it needs to be updated. Most of the software has a mechanism for that. The root key material is at: https://data.iana.org/root-anchors/ [iana.org] If you use Unbound, you just create a file with the right information and put in the configuration file: auto-trust-anchor-file: "/usr/local/etc/unbound/root.key"
That way, everything which can be checked will be checked and you will be less vulnerable to DNS attacks.
2. Deploy DNSSEC for the zones you manage: The most used TLDs are all signed, although they may not all be available to the general public yet. You will obviously need DNSSEC-capable authoritive DNS-server software or use Phreebird as a proxy. When your zone data is signed, obviously clients/resolvers need to be able to check what you signed, you do this by communicating the 'DS'-record (dig +norec @ns1.zone.tld zone.tld DS) to your registrar or TLD-operator, the same people who you are paying for the domain/where you communicate the name and possibly IP-addresses of your DNS-zone. Some registrars might not be ready, but other are. You might need to shop around. Unfortunately you will need to that every X months as well.
On desktops and so on, there currently are very little tools which make use of it.
You could put the SSH-fingerprint in DNS which is signed by DNSSEC and enable VerifyHostKeyDNS, that way when you choose yes when connecting to a SSH-server the first time, you can have more confidence that what you are connecting to is the real server.
There are efforts to make it available for the browsers and so on:
https://os3sec.org/ [os3sec.org]
There is a DANE-proposal which makes it possible for the browser to check DNS/DNSSEC and use it for certificate-chain checking for HTTPS instead (or together with) the current CA-system.
I'm glad that North America (ARIN) is now doing what Europe (RIPE) did earlier this month.
So North America is *weeks* behind Europe? WEEKS!!??!?! That is soooo shameful.
I'm glad that North America (ARIN) is now doing what Europe (RIPE) did earlier this month.
So which zones does RIPE sign? None? So not the same.

Beasties -- ahead of their time AND helping save Admins everywhere the trouble of statically configuring ARIN's trust anchors.

He also suggests DNSCurve as an alternative. Would be interesting to try setting up both on the same name server.
I know this is pretty much unrelated, but I really wish they would figure out a way to write about DNSSEC that doesn't make it sound like we just got done turning on Skynet...
The rich get rich, and the poor get poorer. The haves get more, the have-nots die.

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
How to seat Michigan seems to be the real sticking point. A DNC official tells First Read also that they're not sure there's support for a 50-50 split of delegates there. But that that doesn't mean there's support for an allocation of the delegates based on the primary voting.
The official said members, as of last night, were close to an agreement on Florida -- halving all delegates' votes by the primary vote.
The details are not locked in stone, but members would like to have a resolution settled by the end of the day.
