This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/129,266, entitled "Intrusion and Misuse Deterrence System," filed Apr. 14, 1999.
This invention was made with Government support under Contract No. DCA100-96-D-0048 awarded by DISA. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
This invention relates generally to computer networks, and more particularly, to a system for identifying intruders on a computer network.
The popularity of the Internet has led to the emergence of the largest and most diverse collection of information the world has ever known. People are conducting transactions over the Internet today that historically required intensive face-to-face interaction. Together with this popularity has come a concomitant rapid growth in the transmission of confidential information over these networks. As a consequence, there is a critical need for improved approaches to ensuring the confidentiality of private information that travels over computer networks.
Traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS) protect networks against intruders by examining the content of each packet or message passing into the network and making a determination as to whether or not it is suspicious, based on pattern matching and a set of general rules. As networks get larger, this approach of looking at every packet presents several drawbacks. One limitation is the speed at which the IDS can process the information contained in the millions of packets that cross network boundaries every hour of every day. As the networks get faster, the IDS has even less time to make determinations on the packets it examines before it starts to miss packets or degrade system performance.
As an example, consider the Internet-based (client/server) network 10 shown in
By way of background, a web server (client 30 a) is a computer on the Internet with software operating on it to handle hypertext communications. Human operators route access requests to network devices through the use of unique alphanumeric host names that correspond to each server. The actual routing of information is performed through the use of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a 32 bit (four octet format), non-symbolic number, which represents the unique address of a device connected to the Internet. The IP addresses with their associated alphanumeric host names and network locations are stored in web server 30 a.
Globally unique IP addresses are issued to enterprises by a central authority known as the Internet Assigned Number Authority ("IANA"). The IANA issues such addresses in one of three commonly used classes. Class "A" IP addresses employ their first octet as a "netid" and their remaining three octets as a "hostid." The netid identifies the enterprise network and the hostid identifies a particular host on that network. As three octets are available for specifying a host, an enterprise having class "A" addresses has nearly 17 million addresses at its disposal for use with possible hosts. Class "B" addresses employ their first two octets to identify a network (netid) and their second two octets to identify a host (hostid). Thus, an enterprise having class "B" addresses can use those addresses on approximately 64,000 hosts. Finally, class "C" addresses employ their first three octets as a netid and their last octet as a hostid. Only 254 host addresses are available to enterprises having class "C" addresses.
When packets are routed through router 20 to network 10, they are transmitted to web server 30 a, which determines whether the destination is located in network 10. Next, they are transmitted to IDS 30 e that then evaluates the contents, source and destination of each packet to ascertain whether the packet is an intruder. Once IDS 30 e determines the packet is valid, it may then be routed to firewall 30 d that again evaluates the source, contents and destination of the packet to ascertain whether the packet may be properly routed to intranet 40. As networks continue to grow and as the number of packets transiting typical networks continues to skyrocket, so does the processing overhead that must be dedicated to IDS 30 e.
Another problem with current intrusion detection systems is their ability to distinguish appropriate use from inappropriate use. The packets collected by IDS 30 e are examined based on fixed patterns in the pattern matching library and a set of general rules. As new attacks come out, these rules and patterns become outdated and the IDS misses the new attacks completely. There is also a limit to the number of rules that can be loaded into the system at a given time due to packet inspection time restrictions imposed by the amount of bandwidth on the networks.
The net effect is that output of traditional IDS systems is unreliable, voluminous and consequently often ignored by security personnel. While it is clear that numerous methods thus far have been proposed for protecting networks from unauthorized access, as a general rule those methods tend to be unsophisticated, inefficient and incapable of effectively securing a network against the efforts of the modern-day hacker. Furthermore, the processing burden of current IDS systems makes them impractical for use with the larger, faster networks, where they are arguably needed the most.
There is a need therefore for an improved apparatus and method that overcomes the shortcomings of conventional IDSs.
Systems and methods consistent with this invention increase the security of computer networks through the use of an Intrusion and Misuse Deterrence System (IMDS) that passively detects network intruders in a manner that adds little overhead to a computer network, is adaptive, and easily implemented on any size network. The IMDS creates a synthetic network complete with synthetic hosts and routers. In operation, the IMDS monitors packet flow in an enterprise until it determines that a packet is destined for the synthetic network. Since there are no legitimate users on the synthetic or virtual network, the IMDS identifies the source of the packet and notifies a system administrator of the presence of a network intruder. The IMDS also identifies network intruders by monitoring change logs associated with the virtual network, and notifying a system administrator when it notices an adjustment in the size of the change log. In addition to notifying a system administrator, the IMDS also notifies other network access control devices (e.g., routers, firewalls, etc.) when it detects the presence of an intruder.
Additional objectives, features and advantages of the invention are set forth in the following description, apparent from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. Both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
The accompanying drawings, that are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate presently preferred embodiments of the invention and, together with the general description given above and the detailed description of the preferred embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part thereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration a specific embodiment in which the invention may be practiced. This embodiment is described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limited sense.
A system in accordance with the present invention comprises a network server with associated application software that appears to be a legitimate portion of a real network to a network intruder. The IMDS consequently invites inquiry and entices the intruder away from the real network. Simulated services are configured to appear to be running on virtual clients with globally unique, class "C" IP addresses. Valid network users are aware of the virtual network and its purpose. Consequently, there are no legitimate users of the virtual network, and all such activity must be inappropriate and can be treated as such. The ability of the IMDS to detect inappropriate activity based solely on the destination of network traffic results in two major benefits. One is that the entire set of transactions by an intruder can be collected and identified rather than just those transactions that meet a predefined attack profile. Second, because the system operates independently of attack type, new exploits and attacks are handled just as effectively as known attacks, resulting in better identification of attack methodologies as well as the identification and analysis of new attack types. The IMDS also eliminates the bandwidth limitation that plagues traditional IDSs. Instead of having to watch all of the traffic on a network segment, the IMDS only has to be concerned with the traffic going to its simulated hosts. This relieves the problem of monitoring networks with ever increasing bandwidth. The IMDS also has the side effect of distracting attackers away from the real hosts that it is protecting.
Turning first to the nomenclature of the specification, the detailed description which follows is represented largely in terms of processes and symbolic representations of operations performed by conventional computer components, including a central processing unit (CPU), memory storage devices for the CPU, and connected pixel-oriented display devices. These operations include the manipulation of data bits by the CPU and the maintenance of these bits within data structures reside in one or more of the memory storage devices. Such data structures impose a physical organization upon the collection of data bits stored within computer memory and represent specific electrical or magnetic elements. These symbolic representations are the means used by those skilled in the art of computer programming and computer construction to most effectively convey teachings and discoveries to others skilled in the art.
For the purposes of this discussion, a process is generally conceived to be a sequence of computer-executed steps leading to a desired result. These steps generally require physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical, magnetic, or optical signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, or otherwise manipulated. It is conventional for those skilled in the art to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, objects, numbers, records, files or the like. It should be kept in mind, however, that these and similar terms should be associated with appropriate physical quantities for computer operations, and that these terms are merely conventional labels applied to physical quantities that exist within and during operation of the computer.
It should also be understood that manipulations within the computer are often referred to in terms such as adding, comparing, moving, etc. which are often associated with manual operations performed by a human operator. It must be understood that no such involvement of a human operator is necessary or even desirable in the present invention. The operations described herein are machine operations performed in conjunction with a human operator or user who interacts with the computer. The machines used for performing the operation of the present invention include general purpose digital computers or other similar computing devices.
In addition, it should be understood that the programs, processes, methods, etc. described herein are not related or limited to any particular computer or apparatus. Rather, various types of general purpose machines may be used with programs constructed in accordance with the teachings described herein. Similarly, it may prove advantageous to construct specialized apparatus to perform the method steps described herein by way of dedicated computer systems with hard-wired logic or programs stored in nonvolatile memory, such as read only memory.
The operating environment in which the present invention is used encompasses general distributed computing systems wherein general purpose computers, workstations, or personal computers are connected via communication links of various types. In a client server arrangement, programs and data, many in the form of objects, are made available by various members of the system.
A system in accordance with the present invention is shown in
A more detailed block diagram of each network computer (clients 30 a–e, and IMDS 65) operating on network 10 is shown in
Under the TCP/IP protocol, and other connection oriented protocols, a device outside of network 10 intending to communicate with a client (20, 30 a–e, and 65) on network 10, begins communication by sending a packet 31 which has the identifier of a client on network 10 in its TCP destination port field 48. The packet 31 passes via router 20 to its desired destination. If a device on network 10 is willing to communicate with the foreign device, it responds with a SYN (synchronize) packet to establish a connection. Subsequent packets may then be sent back and forth freely through the router 20. The router 20 may include a comparator executing in CPU 101 which determines whether a packet's data link header type 52 is in a protocol table containing a pre-stored list of protocols (e.g., TCP/IP) valid for use on network 10. A second comparator may determine whether the packet's IP destination address 44 and, in some cases, the TCP destination port 48 are in a destination address table containing a pre-stored list of addresses valid for network 10. The router 20 may also have a third comparator which determines if the packet's IP source address 46 and the TCP source address 50 are in a source address table containing a pre-stored list of source addresses which are not allowed to communicate with devices on network 10. If a packet has the correct protocol and has acceptable destination and source addresses, the router 20 allows it to pass to network 10. These comparisons are applied to all data packets regardless of their source or destination. Similar processing may be applied by router 20 for packets passing out of network 10 using similar comparators and tables. Because it screens packets flowing between networks, router 20 is one example of a network access control device.
Firewall 30 d is another example of a network access control device that provides control of packet flow in a somewhat different way. As shown in
An IMDS access control device in accordance with the subject invention is shown in
IMDS 65 performs three functions: intrusion detection, intrusion notification and system administration. Intrusion detection is accomplished through a set of software packages as shown in
Operation of an intrusion detection function in accordance with the present invention is best explained by way of an example. Assume that an entity operating outside of network 10 sends packet 31 via the Internet to router 20. Packet 31 is destined for IMDS 65 as indicated by IP header 36. That is, destination address 44 equals a destination address in virtual network 60. Upon receiving packet 31, router 20 routes packet 31 along link 22 to IMDS 65. To this point, the system behaves consistently with most conventional networking protocols. However, since packet 31 contains a destination address 44 which is not an actual network client, NAT 70 must route the packet to a port 75 in IMDS 65. As shown in
Whenever IMDS 65 determines that an entity has accessed fa�ade services 76, it acts as if the entity is an intruder. This is a valid assumption since by definition, all activity on IMDS 65 is of suspect origin. The elements of IMDS 65 that identify an intruder and notify a system administrator are shown in
As shown in
From the foregoing description, it will be appreciated that the present invention provides an efficient system and method for increasing the security of computer networks through the use of an IMDS operating on a computer network. The present invention has been described in relation to particular embodiments which are intended in all respects to be illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that many different combinations of hardware will be suitable for practicing the present invention. Many commercially available substitutes, each having somewhat different cost and performance characteristics, exist for each of the components described above.
Although aspects of the present invention are described as being stored in memory, one skilled in the art will appreciate that these aspects can also be stored on or read from other types of computer-readable media, such as secondary storage devices, like hard disks, floppy disks, or CD-ROMs; a carrier wave from the Internet; or other forms of RAM or ROM. Similarly, the method of the present invention may conveniently be implemented in program modules that are based upon the flow chart in
Alternative embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains without departing from its spirit and scope. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.

Beckham, who was instantly dropped when McClaren inherited the England job from Sven-Goran Eriksson in 2006, is to quit the game at the end of the season. He bows out as a Ligue 1 winner with Paris St Germain, with the 38-year-old deciding the time is right to step away from his illustrious playing career.
Beckham eventually won over McClaren in their England days, earning a recall. And McClaren said: "He was a great player. He made the very most of his talents through sheer hard work and professionalism and always doing extra work on the training field. He inspired his team-mates through his performances."
McClaren added: "He was a winner, he's won so many things in his career, and that was infectious on his team-mates. And he was an inspiring personality to young players with his behaviour and professionalism on and off the field."
McClaren told Sky Sports News: "By the end of his career he was a fantastic ambassador, not only for football around the world but for our country as well in helping bring major events to this country."
Beckham, who won 115 caps for England, more than any other outfield player, had a role in bringing the Olympic Games to London, but it will be his footballing feats for Manchester United, Real Madrid, PSG, LA Galaxy and AC Milan for which he will be remembered.
Beckham's former Manchester United team-mate and long-time friend Gary Neville is in Paris, having travelled to meet Beckham. He discussed the midfielder's decision with him and was able to offer some insight into his thinking.
"He just feel it's the right time," Neville told Sky Sports News. "He just feels he's taken it as far as he can. He wanted to come back home, he's been away for 22 years and he's got to the end of the road. He's won another championship at PSG, that's four in four countries, and he just wants to come home."
Neville also paid tribute to the way Beckham has not only influenced football but also transcended it. "You look at it and think 'wow', he's got an incredible array of caps and medals, an incredible longevity," said Neville.
"He played in the greatest midfield I've ever played with: David, Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane and Paul Scholes. David was a crosser of the ball, a passer of the ball. He had incredible stamina and energy. He was a joy to play with."

Is Egypt Headed for Islamist Rule?
Isobel Coleman says the Egyptian elections are a roller coaster, and what the role of Islam will be in a new Egypt is uncertain.
Isobel Coleman says the Egyptian elections are a roller coaster, and what the role of Islam will be in a new Egypt is uncertain.
In the wake of the Arab Spring, Egypt is full of unprecedented hope--and gnawing fear, writes Jeffrey Bartholet for National Geographic.

Elliott Abrams says the Egyptian presidential race is a frightful mess.

Registration is now closed for Egypt's upcoming presidential election. CFR's Steven A. Cook discusses major contenders, including the Muslim Brotherhood's Khairat al-Shater and last-minute entrant Omar Suleiman, Hosni Mubarak's one-time spy chief.
Addressing Egypt's economically debilitating subsidy system will be hard amid political transition, but with the country's social contract under review, the time is ripe for reform needed to put the country on a more viable economic path, says CFR's Isobel Coleman.

Steven A. Cook says that to avoid the traps of their history, Egyptians must be committed to a new constitution and an independent parliament.

A year after President Hosni Mubarak's ouster from power, U.S.-Egypt relations are under threat as Cairo presses charges against U.S. nongovernmental pro-democracy workers. CFR's Steven A. Cook discusses the implications this has for U.S. aid to Egypt.

This report provides a brief overview of the transition underway and information on U.S. foreign aid to Egypt. U.S. policy toward Egypt has long been framed as an investment in regional stability, built primarily on long-running military cooperation and sustaining the March 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty.

Ed Husain argues that the current trajectory of the United States in the Middle East—of dancing around developments, leading from behind and expressing defeatist thinking—needs to stop.

Ed Husain states that the Muslim Brotherhood is far removed from al-Qaeda and the supporters of violent jihad, and its rise in Egypt should not be feared.

The Islamists' lead in parliamentary polls has aroused some concerns over Egypt's democratic future. But the real threat, says CFR's Ed Husain, comes from those secular elites who prefer the former autocratic regime or military rule over elected Islamists.

Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England, over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its nameName. It has become an iconic symbol of London. Tower Bridge is one of several London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation.
The bridge consists of two towers which are tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways which are designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge to the left and the right. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. Its present colour dates from 1977 when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Originally it was painted a chocolate brown colour.
Tower Bridge is sometimes mistakenly referred to as London Bridge, which is actually the next bridge upstream.[2] A popular urban legend is that in 1968, Robert McCulloch, the purchaser of the old London Bridge that was later shipped to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, believed that he was in fact buying Tower Bridge. This was denied by McCulloch himself and has been debunked by Ivan Luckin, the seller of the bridge.

The "Girl with a Dolphin" is by David Wynne and was made in 1973
Hello Mr Weall,
My mind boggles,you nearly had me there Nick. I thought why the hell Nick uploaded same picture again? Then checked the dates they were taken between few days apart. you took both shots in same position & angle. Interesting history of the Tower Bridge, some how I under stood that they use to lock valuables there, such as Queens Crown..
Regards Manoo
Wonderful photo!
Best regards, Maria
Hi Nick! I see it now! Hmmm, I would say that I like more the other one where the sky is better seen! But they are different all the same.
><((((º> Mimi <º))))><
Magic10 (^_^) ~~ Just in case you missed the main point dear Manoo the bridge is open in this shot ~ the two central spans of the bridge are lifted high to let a tall ship through :) The queen's jewels are locked away in the Tower of London by the way, but on view to the public during opening hours.
MioaraP ~~ Thank you :))
© mimipet.com, ~ I have taken shots of the Girl with a Dolphin from all angles 360 degrees around the statue Mimi but I'm not putting them all up on this site, maybe I'll put them on my other site tomorrow.

Friendly greetings to you all from nick
What is this Nick? Are we playing a game, find the difference between these two pics. They are so similar at a first glance, until you pointed out the open/shut bridge. As always I never looked at the title which was the high light pointing at open bridge. Any way thank you for pointing out to us on right direction as so far no one has noticed that. And silly me, confusing myself with Tower Bridge & Tower of London. Many thanks again..Manoo

Great zoo period. We are not huge museum people. We find living creatures more interesting. We go to the Clearwater Beach are yearly and we always make the (30min or less) trip to the Lowry Park Zoo. Great animal displays from Elephants (there were babies last time we went (Feb 13), Crocodiles, manatee, all sorts of Primate (the orangutan are our fav, always putting on an acrobatics show). You can even feed the Giraffes!(There were baby giraffe as well!) This isn't even the best part. There is a section with rides for the kids (extra charge, 3 kids and I've never spent over $20 on rides). I couldn't get my 6yo off of the Tiger Coaster. There are bumper boats, animal petting and a "banana plane". If you are vacationing in the are go early in your trip because you may want to go back.

Let's get you non-iPod folks out of the way early: Only the Fiesta with Ford's Sync system worked with the generic MP3 player. Zune owners will also likely have trouble with anything other than a Ford these days.
For iPod owners, though, don't even think the Fiesta is the winner here. Its interface was difficult to read and use. Unlike other Fords with Sync, the Fiesta was built for European customers, and the button layout was uncomfortable for our big, fat American thumbs.The worst was the Fiesta's steering-wheel controls. There is no volume adjustment, and to get the system to work at all, you need to activate it using a voice button on a separate stalk behind the steering wheel. Ford's acclaimed voice command system works well, but having to say "Play USB" every time you want to switch on your iPod is a tad annoying. Sync is standard on SES models but is part of a $595 option package on the lower SE trim level.
Honda and Scion have more conventional layouts that we preferred, but neither was flawless. The Fit's USB integration is standard in the Sport model – it isn't available on base models, even as an option -- but it's routed through a more expensive navigation package that includes stability control at a whopping $1,850 price tag. That said, the fancy-schmancy navigation package comes with a big touch-screen that is easy to read and also fits the most characters on the screen (27 characters compared with 19 in the xD and just 16 in the Fiesta). That made reading artist names like Them Crooked Vultures a lot easier.
However, every time we went to change a song or setting via the touch-screen, there was a delay. You tapped the the screen, it acknowledged your tap, then … wait for it ... then it made the selection. That was highly aggravating.
The Scion xD with its Alpine aftermarket head unit at $449 looked out of place in this comparison — it looked like something you'd get at Best Buy — but the controls and scrolling worked well. The small display was a touch-screen, which, while surprising, was just too tiny to use while driving. Both the Scion and Honda had volume controls on the steering wheel.
In the end, both of us were aggravated by something different in each car, and none won us over. Next time we take on USB integration, we'll bring in at least one Hyundai or Kia because their standard system easily competes or beats these three. And we will look at a Ford designed in the U.S. for our fat thumbs.

Tom Kite was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Monday and
instead of old Ryder Cup bags and memorabilia his shrine should have
included a hard hat, lunch pail and a pair of work gloves.
We marvel at
the work ethic of Vijay Singh, but this Hogan disciple would give the
Fijian two a side when it comes to digging it out of the dirt. The first
to adopt the concept of a third wedge in competition, he won 19 times on
such demanding tracks as Riviera, Butler National, Doral, Bay Hill,
Harbour Town, the TPC-Sawgrass and of course, Pebble Beach, in the 1992
U.S. Open. That Sunday on the Monterey Peninsula was arguably the most
brutal day in major championship history, yet Kite found a way to tack
around the trouble and raise the trophy.
The ruddy complexion and the leathery neck are tell tale signs of a man
who spent too much time in the sun, but the fruits of his labor is a
legacy as one of golf's all-time great overachievers. Asked on "PGA Tour
Sunday" what percentage of it was hard work and what percentage was
talent, Kite responded by asking some rhetorical questions of his own.
"People who are trying to be the best don't care whether it's talent or
hard work," he said. "And you can't define talent ... is it on the
inside or the outside? Is it physical, emotional, or is it brains? I
think if you want to play at a high level, then you have to put your
time in. From the time I was 12 years old, I was out there hitting balls
and practicing."
The image I have of Kite occurred five summers ago on one of those
brutally hot days in Baltimore when the clothes mat up and stick to you
like wet wallpaper. In the Mid-Atlantic States they call it the three Hs -- hazy, hot and humid. I was invited to play in the Caves Valley
Invitational and Tom Kite was there, beating balls. We played a series
of three nine-hole matches and the club has a policy against shorts. I
remember commenting that this was what Ken Venturi felt like at
Congressional in 1964. At one point I bent over to hit a putt and the
sweat was pouring off my hat, onto my ball. If I stood over it long
enough, I could have taken relief for casual water. Yet every time we
made the turn there was Kite, on the range, a man at work.
Kite missed the cut at Westchester and drove down to Caves where he
could grind in solitude. Dennis Satyshur, the head pro, was one of Tom's
best friends coming out of college and on the mini-tours in Tampa. Tom,
you may remember, asked Dennis to serve as an assistant during the 1997
Ryder Cup. I called Dennis on Tuesday to see what he remembered about
Kite that day. He was in the Jacksonville airport, flying home from
Tom's induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
"Tom's always in training," Satyshur said when asked to explain the
work ethic that has defined Kite's career. "He's very good at finding
short-term goals, things that keep him going and excited in what he's
Tom was 49 at the time, in the supposed twilight of his career, yet the
missed cut was inexcusable. He refused to accept the notion that a man
his age should be expected to miss cuts. Five years later, not much has
changed. Kite confirmed last week that he will use his exemption as one
of the top-50 all-time career money winners to turn back the clock and
concentrate on the regular tour. His first event of 2005 will be the
Sony Open in Hawaii. He will pick venues that suit his game.
"You have to be excited to wake up in the morning," Kite said. "You need
to do something that makes you pumped up about life. I love playing and
competing at the highest level." When it comes to results, the highlight
of Kite's year was bouncing back from a crushing final-round giveaway in
the U.S. Senior Open to win the following week. But when it comes to a
source of pride, Kite talks first about going through U.S. Open
qualifying, and making the cut at Shinnecock.
The idea to play the regular tour came through a conversation with Bob
Rotella, the sports psychologist. Kite is one of those competitors who
turned 50 and had a hard time getting motivated for the Champions Tour.
The been there, done that mentality is a syndrome that Raymond Floyd,
Tom Watson and Lanny Wadkins all experienced after turning 50. They
didn't need to play for the money, so what was the motivation? In his
first five years of competition on the senior circuit, Kite has only won
seven times, including this year's 3M Championship, which was his first
victory since 2002.
"The Claw" putting grip has given Kite new life and physically he looks
better now than in 1981, when he recorded 21 top-10 finishes and won his
first of two money titles and Vardon Trophies. He has been working with
a strength coach from the University of Texas and length is no longer an
issue. In plotting out his schedule, he asked me what I thought about
the Fazio Course at Mirasol, where they play the Honda Classic. I told
him it was 7,400 yards but it didn't play that long. He scoffed at the
reference, sort of the way he did in 2002 when I congratulated him on
making his fifth-straight cut at The Players. Even at 52, he was
supposed to make the cut at The Players.
Part of what drove Kite as a boy was being the understudy to Ben
Crenshaw. Harvey Penick used to tell the naturally gifted Crenshaw to
practice on the golf course. With Kite, Penick would point toward the
range. It was fitting that some 42 years later Crenshaw would be Kite's
presenter in St. Augustine and that they could laugh about the old days.
"Every part of his game works together," Crenshaw said. "That's what
he's made his life work to be. There haven't been too many people to
outwork Tom Kite."

Again, from The Daily Pfennig, a free currency newsletter written by Chuck butler and published by Everbank.
On Friday morning, I told you about the dollar rally that was kicked off by a stupid statement in the FOMC meeting minutes about ending Quantitative Easing (QE) in 2013. Recall that I said it was stupid for the markets to have reacted they way they did, for the FOMC didn't say "when in 2013!" they could continue with QE until 12/31 and it would still be 2013! And I think that calmer heads began to pop up and prevail on Friday, as the ugliness of the morning, didn't last all

It's important when you visit our beautiful Sumatran tigers to remember just how precious they are.
Adopt Me
Book Tickets
They're a critically endangered species, with only a few hundred left in the wild, so we must do all we can to stop them becoming extinct.
We were delighted when our two adult tigers, Kirana and Fabi, had their latest tiger cub triplets in January 2015, named Kasarna, Jaya and Topan.
Kirani and Fabi also had two healthy cubs in June 2013 named Kasih and Nuir, who later moved to France and Poland in June 2015. Also sisters Nila and Tila, born in October 2011 moved to Le Pal in France and to Heidelberg Zoo in Germany as part of a co-ordinated breeding programme, vital to ensuring the survival of Sumatran tigers.
Like many of our inhabitants here Fabi was a really crucial part of the European Breeding Programme and following the birth of seven cubs here at the zoo it was time for Fabi to move on and he joined our colleagues at Paignton Zoo in December 2015.
Sumatran tigers are the smallest of all tigers and their low stance lets them creep up on prey unseen. Their stripes are narrower and closer together than those of other tigers.
Our tigers are registered on the European Endangered Species Breeding Programme which means we work closely with other zoos on conservation breeding projects to hopefully save these beautiful animals for years to come.
You can find out more about our project to protect tigers in the wild on our Act for Wildlife website. Explore our blog for updates from our field projects and donate to help save tigers.

This game exceeded my expectations and the graphics are great and gameplay is awesome. I recommend this game to anybody that wants a great RPG.
I remember playing this game when it came out for the PC. This is such an amazing upgrade in almost every way. And for the record this is the very first video game for my xbox that i was willing to spend more than 30 dollars for and i have not been letdown. I can't stop playing this game. Very worth the money ! Would totally recommend this game!!
Have played Diablo since the first game. This follows the thread well, offers lots of options, great story line, extremely challenging. Highly recommended. Walmarts price was far better than everyone elses.
I tried the PC version of this game and the controls were really weak. It was playable but I decided against a full purchase of it. Then I tried the 360 demo and loved it. Ended up buying it. Diablo III for the XBox is the best version of the game, simple as that.
The controls are amazing with the 360 controller (if they'd release a PC patch that gave it the ability to use the same controls, I'd be a PC version advocate).
I have no bias towards any system, as I own and enjoy them all, but simply put, Diablo III for the XBox is the definitive version of the game. Easily the best controls, and there is no real money auction house to ruin the fun of a GAME.
If you loved and miss the console games Baldur's Gate and Champions of Norrath, this is the game for you! I have never played the Xbox 360 we have because of the lack of good RPG games. Now it's a matter of which one of us gets to the console first!
I have played the PC versions of Diablo, and have never been a fan of having to use the keyboard as a "controller". This eliminates that issue :-)
My husband and I rented it from redbox originally, and we would keep it about a week or so, take it back, and then always end up going back to redbox to get it again. So I finally ordered it online and should get my own today. I don't have internet and I was just wondering if since it will be a newer one than the one at redbox, if it will have new things and levels? Love the game though!
My First 360 Game Ordered...
This is exactly what my 17 yr old wanted for Christmas. It's very popular with him & all his friends. The site to store price was much better than the in store price. It was ready for pick up very quickly.
My son was very pleased I think he has done nothing but play since he opened it on Christmas day. He and his brother can now play the game together even though they are in different states.
If you liked Diablo 2, you will like this game. Great side by side hack and slash co-op.
Really like Diablo series and 3 just keeps going with great gameplay and graphics.
I bought this for my son and he is VERY happy with the game.
Reminds me of old times.

If PPP's polling is correct, then South Carolina still belongs to Trump:
South Carolina — @ppppolls
Trump 35%
Cruz/Rubio 18%
Kasich 10%
Bush/Carson 7%
Clinton 55%
Sanders 34%https://t.co/32kfCKa4GU
— Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) February 16, 2016
Here's more:
PPP's new South Carolina poll continues to find Donald Trump with a wide lead in the state. He's at 35% to 18% each for Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, 10% for John Kasich, and 7% each for Jeb Bush and Ben Carson.
What's striking about Trump's support is how consistent it is across different demographic groups- he's at 41% with 'somewhat conservative' voters, 40% with younger voters, 38% with men, 36% with self identified Republicans, 35% with Evangelicals, 35% with middle aged voters, 34% with non-Evangelicals, 31% with women, 30% with self identified independents, 30% with 'very conservative' voters, 30% with seniors, and 29% with moderates. He has a lead of some size within every single one of those groups, similar to what he was able to do in New Hampshire.
The race is still pretty fluid in South Carolina- 29% of voters say they might change their minds between now and Election Day. Trump benefits from having supporters who are pretty resolute though- 77% of them say they will definitely vote for him, compared to 76% for Cruz and 62% for Rubio. Among voters who say their minds are completely made up, Trump's support goes up to 40% to 20% for Cruz and 16% for Rubio.
There's been a lot of speculation that Trump might take on water after attacking George W. Bush on Saturday night, and Bush is relatively popular with 64% of voters seeing him favorably to 25% who have an unfavorable opinion. But despite his comments Trump is still leading even among voters with a positive view of GWB- he gets 26% to 22% for Cruz, 20% for Rubio, and 10% for Jeb Bush. And Trump is dominant with the swath of voters that doesn't like George W. Bush, getting 57% to 12% for Kasich, and 11% each for Cruz and Rubio.
Here's the lowdown:
Public Policy Polling surveyed 897 likely Republican primary voters and 525 Democratic primary voters on February 14th and 15th. The margin of error is +/-3.3% for the Republicans and +/-4.3% for the Democrats. 80% of participants, selected through a list based sample, responded via the phone, while 20% of respondents who did not have landlines conducted the survey over the internet through an opt-in internet panel.

Project SEARCH students graduate with jobs
Twenty years ago, Bradford Hulcher wouldn't have believed that her son, Sam, would have a job after high school.
But earlier this month, after graduating from the yearlong Project SEARCH internship program, Sam Hulcher and six other young adults with autism from Henrico County were offered jobs at Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital.
"I'm just so excited," Bradford Hulcher said.
Project SEARCH is a national program that provides internships for high school students with intellectual and developmental disabilities to help them develop skills and work experience. Of 200 programs nationwide, St. Mary's is the only one that works exclusively with only autistic students and involves a research component, said Paul Wehman of the Virginia Commonwealth University Rehabilitation Research and Training Center.
"This was a novel idea," Wehman said. The grant to fund the St. Mary's program is designed to study the effectiveness of this program compared to in-school programs offered by public schools. Every year, the program's interns have been hired after its conclusion, he said.
"The other two years we'd done this, I've thought, 'Yes this is why I've been in this field so long,'" Wehman said of the program's success. "No matter how many books I write or papers, this basically affirms what we're about."
During the graduation, Wheman told students that the day was theirs.
"You're heroes, pioneers and champions," he said. "You did it. It doesn't just happen. You did it because you joined hands."
Participating students gave up their final year of high school, which by law they can attend until they are 21 years old, to apply for the program. Those accepted were chosen randomly from the pool of applicants, said Steven Harris, whose son, Sean, applied twice.
"We had talked to his teachers through- out the years about life after high school, and like they said, this was an opportunity of a lifetime," he said. "We're very thankful to his teachers for encouraging us to do this. They said it would be a good fit for him. I've been a blubbering idiot the whole time. I feel so strongly today."
Sean Harris was one of four students selected from Deep Run High School.
"We were just really lucky this year to have so many of our students be chosen," said Linda Maillet, Sean Harris' exceptional education teacher from Deep Run, who attended the ceremony.
Former Deep Run student Brittany Lott said she had learned how to be independent through the program. Her father, Milton Randall, said that he felt exhilarated after the ceremony.
"You know she's really come a long way," he said. "When she left Deep Run there was a lot of apprehension there. . . She's just matured over the course of the year here."
Nurse Manager Cynthia Rogers said she had begged for an intern every year and that her staff misses the interns when they're not there. "So I'm hiring," she said enthusiastically.
Interns have worked with more than 60 departments in the hospital, including the cardiovascular and telemetry services department, in which Rogers works.
When asked what she would tell parents or others considering the St. Mary's program, she said, "I think the big thing is to give them a chance, because we were really amazed at what they were able to do when given the chance, and now I'm not sure we can function without them."
St. Mary's CEO Toni Ardabell, who surprised parents and students alike by announcing that the students would start work in the fall if they chose, thanked the students for their contributions.
"You taught us more than you expected," she said. "Thank you for teaching us patience and determination."

Home Office Update
For years and years, I'm posting about Home Office changes and updates. It's no secret, that I love to re-arrange the furnitures inside our Home Office. We went through different rooms in our house - until two years ago, when our son was born. Switching rooms is no longer possible (luckily) and we had not found time to re-arrange the furnitures in the last two years, too.
On Friday, I simply had the idea to re-arrange my two desks (and rotate the shape of the "L"). Saturday morning, right after breakfast, I grabbed pencil and paper and started to draw. The ideas were good, but the first idea would not fit, as the couch is wider than expected, so my wife, our son and I went up into our "Attic Home Office" and I started measuring and sketching. In the end, we had some pretty good ideas and started moving stuff. Great to have a little helper, who has successfully removed the sticker from the green carpet ;)
We moved and re-arranged until 7pm, but were mainly done. Today, I brought stuff down to the basement which is no longer needed upstairs and my wife cleaned the floor. Once this was done, I took my camera, the tripod and my remote controller to take some photos. Here they are.
My desk, simplified to a single 27" DELL screen. I'm currently fighting with Ubuntu 15.04… Not that happy I am at the moment with that OS.
Another angle.
This time, the cabling is pretty good - hopefully, the CABLOX replacements, the company has send me (the bought ones fell off), will stay in place this time).
No Home Office post without an oppai handresting mouse pad!
One of my two Freifunk access points. The other one is in the shelter.
The rack (EXPEDIT) next to my desk shows off two of my favorite figures. On the Asus laptop, I currently run Ubuntu MATE, which also fights with me (since the latest Kernel update, I have to select an older Kernel version, because of the full disk encryption - the new one simply hang up… don't ask me if I regret selling my MacBook Air.. don't ask! :S
My wife now has the two Galant desks I was using before. She works 2-3 days per week in the Home Office and could really need the additional space - as you can see ;)
Yep, the clocks are simply on the wrong site to be useful.
One of the main reasons for this little project was to have a nicer place for our son, when he's upstairs and my wife has still to work. This area has this nice carpet where he can play or can even sleep on the couch.
Not that I drink alcohol (I don't), but this box is great to store stuff inside - even though, I mainly bought it for photo shootings and I had already used it for those photos.
PS. All photos are uploaded in 2000 pixel width, you can simply right-click "show in new tab" them, if you want to take a closer look.

The economic crisis that started in 2007 gave rise to a crisis of legitimacy and a widespread collapse of trust in markets, in firms, and in the governance of our economies. We need to build up that trust again and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention are essential tools for fighting bribery and promoting responsible corporate behaviour.
We have made some incredible progress from a time when bribes were considered just part of doing business and companies could claim them back as a tax deduction. But there is still a long way to go. One of our main challenges is ensuring enforcement, said OECD Secretary-General.
"At the end of the day, this is what the G20 is about: its "raison d'être" is to show leadership and equip the global economy with an efficient framework for policy coordination. And trade in raw materials and in food commodities should be no exception to this.", said M. Gurría.
Combating bribery and corruption has become a top global priority, and it is central to our mission. We need to enhance our anti-corruption efforts, strengthen their coherence and improve cooperation with other important actors, like the legal profession practitioners, said Angel Gurría.
Mr. Gurría welcomed the G20's strong political will to fight against corruption and underlined the OECD's anti-corruption global standards on bribery, public procurement, export credits, aid and tax heavens.
In his remarks, A. Gurría said that countries need to be ambitious in taking unilateral actions and that a cost-effective approach to reducing emissions could cost just a fraction of a percentage point of GDP per year.
Speaking at the Ministerial Session of the UN Global Compact Leaders Summit in New York, OECD Deputy Secretary-General Richard Boucher highlights the complementary roles played by the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Global Compact in promoting corporate responsibility.
At the USCIB Global Investment Conference in Washington A. Gurría announced that the OECD is considering the feasibility of a non-binding "Model Investment Treaty", building on converging understandings in OECD and partner countries and invited other organisations to join these reflections.
Presenting the projections of ODA in 2010, A. Gurría stated that it is crucial that aid pledges must be honoured because they represent an investment in the emergence of effective and decent states around the globe.
Celebrating International Anti-Corruption Day and the 10th anniversary of the entry into force of the OECD's Anti-Bribery Convention, Angel Gurría talks about the international fight against foreign bribery and the OECD's efforts to highlight its devastating impact.
