Dress Up Is a Highly Social Game Preschoolers are highly social creatures. They enjoy making new friends and being around others.

You could likewise redo the sleeves, if necessary. Let your daughter or young sister wear it for trick or treat or a costume party. However, many people, no matter their career level, do stupid things and wear the most inappropriate attire in the holiday function. As you want your attire to say all the right reasons for having you, it must be traditional and tasteful enough that that which you say is heard from the boss, her boss and people further in the organization's chain of command.

Usually do not wear jeans, work-out attire or sneakers even though those will be the belongings you normally wear throughout the day.

For ladies During the day When the Holiday function is throughout the day, the attire rules for your women are the same as the men. In the event you wear suits to be effective – either having a skirt or slacks – then wear the identical to the Company Holiday party throughout the day. Any occasion themed pin is acceptable for ladies however, not encourages. It's possible to trust co-workers getting drunk, setting up a pass on the male or female "hottie" through the office and lots of folks kissing around the boss.

Star Parker May Help Take Our Country Back
Tuesday, March 23, 2010
So the news is that Star Parker is running for Congress. I'm certainly happy about this piece of information, and others are reporting it.
Today Michelle Malkin writes:
I'll admit my bias up front: I really dig Star Parker.Read more here.
When I first met the former "welfare queen" back in 2004, it was like meeting a rock star. I shared a panel with her at a conservative student conference. I was so nervous, my voice shook. She was relaxed, funny, and informative.
In this month's issue of World magazine, editor Marvin Olasky says Parker is running for U.S. Congress against Rep. Laura Richardson. It's about time.
Marvin Olasky, reporting for World Mag shares:
Parker, born in 1956, is a Republican who hasn't held political office before, but we joked last month that she had a ready reply if attacked on grounds of inexperience: You're wrong. I've stolen. I've lied. I know how to do wrong. Indeed she does. Drugs, armed robbery, four abortions: "I was very flirty and promiscuous, and several bouts with sexually transmitted diseases didn't stop me."Click here to read more of "Star Power."
But her change is mainly an "only in Jesus" story, because her family life and early education were not healthy. Christ had to transform her.
Now, will she be able to transform the politics of the 37th District, which includes Compton, Carson, and the inland portion of Long Beach? The incumbent, Laura Richardson, co-wrote the bill to legalize same-sex marriage in California and has been a stalwart Democratic vote in Washington.
Will Republicans compete in or concede poor districts? Will the Massachusetts miracle of January be the exception or the rule in November? California 37 will be a test.
I have great respect for Star Parker. Her story speaks to how faith in Christ can turn a life around and set a captive free, not only from sin, but from the liberal cesspool that too many Blacks are wallowing in.
I spoke to Star once when she was a guest on the Eddie Burke Radio Show in Anchorage, Alaska. I called in and thanked her for her hard work and for being an example of success. Eddie had hoped to get us hooked up so that we could perhaps touch base here in NY.
On that show, she made mincemeat of a caller who tried to push the Left's talking points, questioning the character of a Christian who's not willing to pay extra taxes to help others. Star pointed out that Jesus told people to dig into their own pockets to give, not somebody else's.
I also remember her handling of Joy Behar on "The View." Joy seemed totally blown away by the fact that Star had had four abortions. Star, who is now pro-life, expressed that if abortion was really acceptable, as Behar and "The View" ladies (minus Hasselbeck) say it is, then what difference would it make how many abortions she had? If it was all right to have one, then it was all right to have four. If what a woman is carrying isn't a life, why would it matter? But the four abortions did matter to the ladies, as it should have--as even one should have, for the baby is a life.
I hope Star Parker actually does run. She's one tough conservative who will stand up for what's right. America needs this.
Isn't it something how Americans, many never involved in politics before, are standing up and getting involved now? These people, like Star Parker, have one thing in mind during this crucial time in America's history: they simply want to take their country back.

The Osiris Playing cards are part of an original set of American playing cards designed by Steve Minty. They are inspired by the luxurious reverence of Egyptian Gods and Kings of the past. Elements from classical Egyptian era and the Egyptian Revival are incorporated into this deck along with modern design makes this deck truly special. Be sure to complete your set with the Anubis playing cards.
"I have always been drawn to the luxury of Egyptian design and I knew vaguely of how people used to incorporate its elements into modern day life outside of Egypt but I could only guess on why it went away. Upon further research, I learned that it went away during the major war and I felt that it was time to start bringing it back. The highly ornamental and luxurious elements are a perfect fit for our current sensibilities."

This store is amazing! We just dropped by out of curiosity - and stayed for over an hour. Nick is probably the coolest human being on earth, never felt so entertained and informed in a store before. Came without big shopping intents, but spent around 170$ on several smaller tricks. Regrets? Hell no. 10/10, will visit again
I finally had a chance to visit Fantasma Magic today while in NYC. If you are any kind of magic or Houdini enthusiast, I can't recommend this place highly enough. I met John and Jack - both very nice guys and amazing magicians. Definitely a bright spot in the Big Apple.
When you go, ask for Nick...He's got you for all your Magic needs! Greatest magic store in NYC, heck even USA.
Nick is AMAZING!!!! Not only is he an incredible magician, but he is a fantastic salesman and human being!!! When I'm having a bad day, Fantasma is the place I go, and Nick gives me a reason to smile. Amazing service and shop. I constantly recommend Fantasma to EVERYONE!

The coolest place to hang out and buy amazing magic at great prices! Nick is one of the coolest, friendliest and amazing dudes I've ever had the pleasure of meeting!

In Arizona, a hearing is underway that will decide whether a ban on ethnic studies which eliminated the Mexican-American studies program in Tucson schools is unconstitutional. In 2010, Arizona passed a controversial law banning the teaching of any class designed for a particular ethnic group that would "promote resentment toward a race or class of people." Following the passage of the bill, then-Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal ruled in 2011 that the Mexican-American studies program violated the state law, despite an independent auditor's finding showing otherwise. The Tucson Unified School District ultimately suspended the acclaimed Mexican-American studies program in 2012 under the threat of losing up to $14 million of funding if they allowed it to continue. We are joined by Richard Martinez, one of the attorneys representing the families challenging the law.

Valid: 05-01-2010 to 12-31-2017
Eligible Renewable/Other Technologies: Solar Water Heat Applicable Sectors: Commercial, Residential, Multi-Family Residential Amount: Systems that displace natural gas: $12.82 per estimated therm displaced Systems that displace electricity: $0.37 per estimated kWh displaced Maximum Incentive: Single-family residential systems that displace natural gas: $1,875 Single-family residential systems that displace electricity: $1,250 Commercial and multifamily residential systems that displace natural gas: $500,000 Commercial and multifamily residential systems that displace electricity: $250,000 Installation Requirements: Systems must be installed by an appropriately licensed contractor who is listed as being eligible to participate in the program. Self-installations are permitted if the building owner attends a designated CSI-Thermal Program training workshop. Summary: AB 1470 of 2007 authorized the creation of a $350 million incentive program for solar water heating systems. Of the $350 million in total funding, $250 million is reserved for systems that will displace natural gas powered water heaters, and $100 million is set aside for systems replacing electric water heaters. Before developing the program, however, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) had to wait for results from a pilot solar water heating program administered by the California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE) in the San Diego area. After reviewing the positive results of the pilot program, the CPUC developed rules for the statewide program and the program administrators began accepting applications retroactively on May 1, 2010 for single-family residential systems installed after July 15, 2009. Rebate applications for multifamily residential and commercial customers have been accepted since June 2010. The program is being administered by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), Southern California Gas Company (SCGC) and CCSE on behalf of San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). Homes must heat their water using gas or electricity supplied by one of the participating utilities to be eligible for incentives. There are different incentive levels depending on whether the solar water heating system displaces electricity or natural gas. Incentives will be paid upfront based on the SRCC estimated first year energy savings. Similar to the PV incentives offered through the California Solar Initiative, the incentives offered through this program will step down four times as installation milestones are met. Steps will decline separately in each service territory and for the two general customer classes. Interested residential customers should contact the appropriate program administrator:

Senator to propose bill regulating black powder in wake of Boston Massacre… Next grab? Gun powder.
"On April 17, New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg issued a statement to the public that he intends to propose a bill or amendment to regulate black powder, and other forms of explosive components, in the wake of the Boston Marathon Massacre. The bill would demand full Federal background checks of anyone seeking to purchase the minor explosive, similar to recent attempts by Congress to require full background checks on the sale of firearms."

My Valentine Card is in My Supplies
You don't necessarily need Valentine sentiments to make a Valentine card. And you can take Valentine stamps to use on other days than just Valentine's Day.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter Suri spoilt rotten
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter Suri is perhaps the most spoilt celebrity kid on the planet.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes with daughter Suri
The only daughter of the 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' star and the 33-year-old actress has a wardrobe worth 3 million euros and is rarely seen without lipstick.
"She picks out all of her own clothes and has since she was one-and-a-half," the Mirror quoted Holmes as saying. Hailed as the Carrie Bradshaw of her generation, Suri has mastered the art of tottering on designer kids' heels and even has department stores shut so she can shop.
She has a 58,000-pound tree house, a shoe collection bigger than her Hollywood star mum's and regularly hosts tea parties for her A-list kiddie friends. Her doting parents allegedly gifted her 3.3 million pound when she turned five last April.

Miami Hurricanes vs. Virginia Tech Hokies - 2/17/16 College Basketball Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Virginia Tech Hokies (13-12) at Miami Hurricanes (20-4)
College Basketball: Wednesday, February 17, 2016 at 9:00 pm (BankUnited Center)
The Line: Miami Hurricanes -14 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The Miami Hurricanes can stay in the running for the ACC title with a win versus the Virginia Tech Hokies.
The Virginia Tech Hokies have played some very tough games in the ACC but this conference has been too tough to be a challenger. The Hokies have struggled the past several weeks with losses in six of seven after a 67-49 defeat at Virginia as a 15.5 underdog. The Cavaliers jumped to a 12 point lead heading to the locker room and were never in danger. The Hokies couldn't find the shooters touch at 35.6% with the Cavaliers connecting at 49% for eight more field goals which was the obvious difference. Virginia Tech received 16 points on 4-5 from Justin Robinson with Chris Clarke tossing in eleven points while the rest of the team adding 22 points.
USA TODAY Sports
The Miami Hurricanes are right in the mix for the ACC regular season crown but they must continue to win with little room for error. The Hurricanes have been doing their part with wins in six of seven after escaping Florida State with a 67-65 victory on Sunday where they nearly squandered an eleven point first half lead. The Seminoles shot the ball well at 45.6% with the Canes countering at 38% which gave the Noles five more baskets. However Miami held a 12 point edge at the charity stripe to squeeze out the win. Sheldon McClellan gave the Hurricanes a game high 20 points with Davon Reed netting 14 points. Angel Rodriguez added eleven points and six assists while Tonye Jekiri tossed in eight points and snared nine rebounds.
Virginia Tech are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Wednesday games. The under is 11-3 in Miami last 14 vs. Atlantic Coast and the under is 10-3 in their last 13 overall while the Hurricanes are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Wednesday games. I think that Miami can name the score if they play well but definitely not my type of game…

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100526/ap_ ... l_marriage
"Broken down by race, about 40 percent of U.S.-born Asians now marry whites — a figure unchanged since 1980. Their likelihood of marrying foreign-born Asians, meanwhile, multiplied 3 times for men and 5 times for women, to roughly 20 percent.
Among U.S.-born Hispanics, marriages with whites increased modestly from roughly 30 percent to 38 percent over the past three decades. But when it came to marriages with foreign-born Hispanics, the share doubled — to 12.5 percent for men, and 17.1 percent for women."
Donno about you guys, but if 40% of Asians and 30-38% of Hispanics born in the US are marrying "white", that looks like a pretty significant melting pot there.
The "likelihood of marrying foreign born Asians" stat is interesting. Does the article suggest that the % of US-Born Asian women marrying non-US born Asian men has increased by 5x from 1980 to 2010?

I'm not into long haul flying. Particularly, I'm not into the time it takes to get from New Zealand to anywhere. With this in mind, Jack and I broke up out 10 and 13 hour flights with a stop over in Legoland Malaysia. It was my second visit to the park and there was a lot more going on this time in terms of performers and people dressed up as lego characters.
The Lego Movie came out the day we got back to the Philippines so there weren't any movie characters at the park last time. Luckily, this time around we could get our photo taken with Wyldstyle! I heard Emmet was walking around the pizza area, but we never saw him.
The WTS Coach from Singapore pulled up at 10 am and we began our day checking out Legoland first. Here is a picture of Jack soon after we arrived – just chilling with this guy. What the pictures don't show is how hot and humid it was. Although thunder was predicted we never saw any. In fact there were clear skies the entire time we were in the park.
We found SpiderMan swinging about Legoland Kuala Lumpur. I love seeing my favourite Asian cities in lego-form. It's so impressive and really captures the essence of each place. The detail and little comic additions is also fantastic.
Jack enjoyed himself, but we both agreed it was far too hot. It was much hotter than when I visited the park with Tiernan in February. But we managed to make our way around the miniland and main park.
After last time, we decided not to go on the log ride. There is a ride that will get you completely drenched without having to go to the waterpark side. Although we probably would have dried quickly, we didn't fancy being uncomfortable! There were plenty of other rides to go on!
There are a lot of side-show type games in the Kingdom area. Jack was really interested in these and it's probably where we wasted the most money. I did manage to walk away with a purple, stuffed hippo (now named Plippo).
We spent about three hours in Legoland before deciding it was too hot to go on. So off we went to the water park! Our first stop was a dash into the wave pool. We kept saying how awesome it was over and over again – such a relief to be in water! Next, we went on most of the slides. Jack won every race, and then we had a lunch of wedges, chips and curly fries. Every kind of chip!
There were grand plans for two hours on the Lazy River, but I discovered I was sun burned and we didn't want to risk getting more burned. The day was called at 4 pm and we took an early bus home. Still a lovely day. Still want to go again.

DN rides superior numbers to boys, girls championship
BROOKINGS andshy;- There is strength in numbers.
The Del Norte track and field team demonstrated that old adage, using a huge advantage in team size with 64 kids in attendance, to run away with both the boys and the girls team titles at the Brookings Icebreaker on Monday.
The boys scored 144 team points to top second-place Brookings-Harbor by 21. The girls scored 171 points, outscoring Brookings by 85.
"Overall, we are pleased with performances," said Del Norte head coach Samuel Escobar. "It was a smaller meet, some of the events didn't even have kids from all the schools. Once we start going to the league meets, there will be a lot more kids out there."
After trying out a lot of different relay combinations at the Panther Relays over the weekend, Escobar wanted to see how his athletes performed as individuals on Tuesday.
"We are trying to get a feel of where to put kids, so by the end of the season they know where they can score and where they are going to excel at," Escobar said. "That is how we play these preseason meets."
Many of the results were not suprises for Escobar.
"The studs were studs, like Kayla Costello in the hurdles, Maddie Critz in the sprints and Chad Bell in all his events," Escobar said. "They are going to perform. It is the other kids that you look at."
One of those other kids was junior Jordan Babich, who joined the track team for the first time this season.
"Kayla kind of talked me into it," Babich said, about why she joined the team this season. "I thought, since I wasn't really doing anything I might as well get a workout in."
Babich took second place in the triple jump with a distance of 29-feet-2-inches in her first time ever competing in the event. Jordan was first introduced to the triple jump on Monday in practice.
"We went over the basic techniques and basically just sent me out there," Babich said with a smile.
"I was just kind of winging it."
But Babich's "winging it" was good enough to put her within two feet of where teammates Kaitlyn Clemann and Joely Tynes finished the season last year. Clemann and Tynes finished 10th and 11th respectively in the Redwood Empire Meet in 2013.
"I was really determined to do well my first time," Babich said. "There were only four of us, so I though, 'Heck yeah, I'm going to place no matter what.' Once I saw a girl jump close to me, I was determined to do better and beat her."
The girls finished the meet with a first place finish in nine of the 16 events.
The boys only took first place in four events. Bell won the high jump and the long jump and Jesus Lara won the 800 meter run and the 1500 meter run.
"Last year I won it as a freshman, so I was expecting to win again this year," Lara said.
"This guy is confident that he can go out there and do well," Escobar said. "In one of his races, the kid in second place was catching up to him. He made a good run, but then Lara saw him and beat him at the end. He needs to be pushed."
The Warriors now have two weeks off before the teams take the track again. While the first few meets, coaches have been trying to find out where each of the kids fit best, now the team is going to start some event-specific training.
"It is time to start working on specific drills," Escobar said. "We have seen enough to know what events we want to put kids in. It is a good time to start focusing on more drills, more techniques and more skill building."
The Warriors will be back at home for the first league meet of the season on April 2.

One of the more interesting trajectories to watch in the communications space over the last decade has been the growth of the Microsoft ecosystem. Literally a decade long strategy, it was conceived at the time that I ran the Windows CE planning group in the late 1990's, when the first Microsoft smart phones were being designed. From the beginning, the core strategy was to tie the phone to the Microsoft Office and BackOffice product lines – Outlook, Exchange, and to a lesser degree the core productivity applications like Word and Excel.
Fast forwarding to today the biggest growth area in Microsoft's Office Systems Division is, unsurprisingly, communications. That strategy, coined a decade ago, lives on. Live Communications Server, the newly announced Office Communications Server, Office Communicator, and the total integration of these technologies with the Office 2007 suite suggest a world where communications and productivity applications are inextricably entwined.
With the delivery of these products, we are witnessing the beginning of the end of the transition of communications systems from yesterday's PBX and desk phone solutions, to complete software solutions. Pioneers in the market, using systems such as the Open Source PBX Asterisk, have long been proponents of this vision, but the entry of a market dominant player like Microsoft, with its deep pockets and channels, will drive the adoption of software solutions at a much faster rate than any grass roots movement can.
Even so, Microsoft is careful to position their solution as an adjunct to existing phone systems, rather than a replacement. Adjunct yes, but it's really only required by those who wish a staged transition. The software stands alone, a fact that was driven home to me earlier this week when I chatted with Microsoft Unified Communications program manager Kyle Marsh. Kyle told me that some months ago all of his PBX phones had been removed from his office, and he was relying solely on software communications solutions — Office Communications Server and Office Communicator. The Unified Communications Team blog describes how this done, stating:
"The admin can use the same approach to move groups of internal users to OCS for pilots and departmental deployments. After the move, OCS will take care of all the voice features for the user, including basic calls, advanced call controls, anywhere access, and voice mail. The desk phone won't ring any more."
"Fundamentally, the specification is all about letting customers keep their existing systems as they migrate to a fully-software based communications platform over the long term."
Three years ago, upon first seeing Live Communications Server and the RTC platform, I called back to friends in Ottawa and told them that I thought Mitel and Nortel's PBX business would be in trouble. They scoffed. Microsoft would never get voice right, they said. My friends failed to internalize the fact, articulated in the Voice 2.0 Manifesto, that voice is just a big application. Intellectually they understood this fact, but software isn't in their genes – not the way it is at Microsoft. You can get a glimpse of Microsoft's genetics from this excerpt on the UC Team blog, announcing the Communicator 2007 beta:
And of course VoIP, VoIP, VoIP: With this release Communicator is a full featured soft phone allowing you to finally get rid of that plastic device called a telephone you were forced to have. Not only does Communicator have all the functionality you need – including Hold, Transfer and Conference – it also has features you haven't seen in the telephony world – like adding a subject line to a phone call or marking the call as important.
The economics of software are powerful, far beyond legacy hardware businesses. Testifying to that fact, last year both Nortel and Mitel announced partnerships with Microsoft, integrating their PBX and handset businesses with Microsoft's communications business. A time will come when their hardware businesses will be reduced to mere rumps of what they are today, supplying plastic phones to fogies who can't get used to headsets, and attaching those phones to server based communications systems… likely built by Microsoft, or perhaps IBM or Cisco. Their futures are as applications suppliers and ecosystem partners in somebody else's channel. How far the mighty have fallen.
Omnivorous as ever, Microsoft has also extended its reach into embedded platforms. The Windows Mobile and Smartphone platforms have continued to grow at a rapid rate, leveraging the .NET APIs from the Windows desktop to gather developers, and adding capabilities like push email to the Exchange server. Naturally that puts pressure on RIM, the market leading wireless email company. In fact, in third quarter of last year Gartner group said that Microsoft's unit shipments surpassed RIM for the first time in North America. Their strategy is textbook Microsoft – engage developers with an army of evangelists to write programs for their platform, work with hardware vendors to deliver the end user product, and let the ecosystem do the heavy lifting. Can RIM transform themselves into a software company, and weather this onslaught, or will they go the way of the PBX manufacturers? It's unclear, but one tremendous asset RIM and no other vendor has is the RIM network operations center, which acts as a central clearinghouse for all wireless email on RIM devices. And what of Nokia, the dominant wireless handset player the rest of the world over? How will they fare in a world where backend service businesses are dominated by others?
Microsoft's recently announced Response Point embedded PBX for small and medium business is following a nearly identical strategy. Early pioneers in this market, like Epygi, have watched as first Linksys, then Digium, and now Microsoft are entering this space with offerings focused on small business. Prior to Microsoft, the only OEM strategy for building an embedded PBX was Digium. Microsoft's focus on enabling a hardware channel – putting D-Link, Quanta and Uniden into direct competition with Digium for the OEM dollars, and enabling an ecosystem to compete against Linksys and smaller players like Epygi – is bound to pressure the market from every direction.
In each case, enterprise, smartphone and embedded, Microsoft is commoditizing the underlying platform. By building shared media, signalling and API infrastructures in these environments, they can achieve economies of scale and attract developers and OEM partners at a rate which others will be hard pressed to match. It's going to force the players already in these spaces to re-examine their strategies, inevitably causing consolidation.
So how do you avoid becoming roadkill in this environment? Where are the opportunities? There are three strategies that make sense:
- Aikido – using Microsoft's momentum to launch complementary businesse
s. For instance, when I asked Microsoft evangelist Kyle Marsh about the federation model for Live Communication Server, he acknowledged that a more efficient strategy would be to have businesses federate against a global communications clearing house, and revealed that they know of several companies who might want to build such an asset. Even so, businesses built around the strategy of carrier interoperability with Microsoft will have to carefully ensure that they aren't also reduced to lowest common denominator bit pipes. One way to guard against this is to take the "Geneva" option, integrating broadly with assets from Microsoft and others.
- Retreat to safety, by building vertical market applications that integrate with the enterprise communications server. Historically, Microsoft has done a great job of delivering a common platform, but have been ineffective at delivering market-specific solutions.
- War. There's always room for a second and third player in any market. Expect to see consolidation in the market as other players scramble to accumulate the breadth of assets that will be necessary to compete with this juggernaut. And, expect to see some business fail and the field of play narrow as time goes on.
iotum's strategy is an aikido strategy – positioning ourselves in the gap created by Microsoft's momentum. From the beginning we've pursued the Geneva option, integrating broadly with products from a variety of vendors. For example, today we integrate with BlackBerry handsets, but shortly we will deliver a web based client, and later this year additional handset implementations for platforms like Windows Mobile, Symbian and Linux, leaving the door open for partnerships with the likes of Microsoft, Nokia, Ericsson, Sony and others.
iotum's New Presence vision and the iotum Relevance Engine fit very neatly into this space. The evolution of iotum's business is to be the central, global presence platform for converged networks. The iotum Relevance Engine is a hosted platform for New Presence applications in mobile, web, or enterprise environments. When coupled with applications like iotum Talk-Now, it's also a hosted presence server for individuals and small businesses. Moreover, over time the Relevance Engine will become, through interoperability with enterprise presence servers from Microsoft, Cisco and others, a clearinghouse for enterprise presence which will allow enterprises to extend presence information beyond the walls of their organizations so that (for example) sales reps and their customers can know the others presence.
You may be wondering about the position that the portal players – AOL, MSN, Google and others – occupy in this world. They're doing a great job on consumer presence, but are less useful in our always-on always-available business lives. As Jim Courtney pointed out in his February 2007 interruptions manifesto :
Bottom line: I want to be able to participate in the conversations essential to my lifestyle and my business operations – when, where and how I choose.
Microsoft's plan is a 10 to 15 year view of the market, which is only starting to be visible today. Taken in totality, it's a plan to dominate every aspect of enterprise communications, with the exception, perhaps, of the carrier network. In their ideal scenario, Microsoft technologies would be embedded in that network as well, although Microsoft won't itself be the network operator. It's exciting, and perhaps a little uncomfortable, for some. It's important enough to Microsoft that one of their key generals, Office President Jeff Raikes, has taken on the role of leading that team directly himself.
If you're in the communications space today, what's your strategy for this new world? Aikido, retreat or war? It pays to know.

This application is related to the concurrently-filed application, Ser. No. 10/290,961, titled "Server Resource Management, Analysis, and Intrusion Negation."
A. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to network application servers, and more particularly, to security software used to protect network servers.
B. Description of Related Art
Network servers, such as computers that transmit HTML (HyperText Markup Language) documents to client computing devices on the Internet, may interact and receive data requests from many different end-users. These servers, which may receive and respond to the end-user requests, are commonly called web servers.
At a basic level, web servers provide static web pages to end-users by forwarding requested files to the end-users. At a more advanced level, web servers may respond to user input and generate dynamic web pages for the user based on the user input. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard protocol through which a web server passes a user's request to an application program. The application processes the user's request and transmits information to the web server for forwarding back to the user.
Web servers are frequently targets for attacks from malicious end-users. The end-user may wish to disable the web-server, to gain control of the web server, or to access information on the web server that would not normally be accessible to the end-user. One type of attack involves sending long requests or a large number of requests to the web server in an attempt to cause a web server error, such as a buffer overflow condition. Such web server error conditions may compromise the security of the web server.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for increasing the reliability of web servers and their resistance to malicious attacks.
Systems and methods consistent with the principles of this invention provide for a web host intrusion prevention system (WHIPS) that protects a network application server, such as a web server, from malicious attacks and/or resource overload.
One aspect of the invention is directed to a method including intercepting commands directed for a web server, comparing the intercepted commands to a pre-designated set of commands that are known to be valid commands for the web server, and dropping the intercepted commands when the comparison of the intercepted commands does not generate a match to the pre-designated set of commands.
A second aspect of the invention is directed to a computing device that includes a communication interface component that receives network traffic destined for the computing device. The computing device additionally includes comparison tables that store sets of commands and web serving software that receives the network traffic from the communication interface and responds to commands in the network traffic. Further, a filter engine performs lookups in the comparison tables based on the commands present in the received network traffic. The filter engine additionally instructs the communication interface to refrain from forwarding the network traffic to the web server software when one of received commands in the network traffic does not correspond to a command in the set of commands.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate the invention and, together with the description, explain the invention. In the drawings,
The following detailed description of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers may be used in different drawings to identify the same or similar elements. Also, the following detailed description does not limit the invention. Instead, the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and equivalents of the claim features.
As described below, a web host intrusion prevention system (WHIPS) includes comparison tables and a filter engine. The comparison tables list approved requests that users may make. The filter engine screens incoming requests from users using the comparison tables. Non-approved requests are blocked and are not received by the web server software. Accordingly, users attempting to attack the web server using techniques, such as a buffer overrun attack, will be blocked by the filter engine.
Web servers 103 may respond to requests for information from end-user computing devices 101. For example, web server 103A may be an HTML server that interacts with end-user computing device 101 A through hyper-text transfer protocol (HTTP) sessions to transmit HTML web pages to the users. A database 110A may be coupled to web server 103A. Web server 103A may access database 110A when fulfilling the user HTML requests.
Processor 220 may include any type of conventional processor or microprocessor that interprets and executes instructions. Main memory 230 may include a random access memory (RAM) or another type of dynamic storage device that stores information and instructions for execution by processor 220. ROM 240 may include a conventional ROM device or another type of static storage device that stores static information and instructions for use by processor 220. Storage device 250 may include a magnetic and/or optical recording medium and its corresponding drive. Storage device 250 may include a database, such as database 110 (
Input device 260 may include one or more conventional mechanisms that permit an operator to input information to web server 103, such as a keyboard, a mouse, a pen, a number pad, a microphone and/or biometric mechanisms, etc. Output device 270 may include one or more conventional mechanisms that output information to the operator, including a display, a printer, speakers, etc. Communication interface 280 may include any transceiver-like mechanism that enables web server 103 to communicate with other devices and/or systems. For example, communication interface 280 may include mechanisms for communicating with another device or system via a network, such as network 102.
In one implementation, main memory 230 may include computer programming instructions that implement a web host intrusion prevention system (WHIPS) 202 consistent with aspects of the invention. WHIPS 202 may interact with traditional web server software, such as web server software 203. Web server software 203 may be any of a number of conventional web server programs, such as the open-source Apache web server or the Internet Information Server (IIS) web server, available from Microsoft Corporation, of Redmond, Wash.
Communication interface component 301 intercepts inbound traffic from network 102 to web server 103 and forwards the traffic to filter engine 302. Communication interface component 301 may be implemented via several possible mechanisms. In one implementation, based on the transmission control protocol (TCP) wrapper software, communication interface component 301 would act as a proxy for web server software 203. In another possible implementation, communication interface component 301 may reside at the network software level and web server software 203 is bound to a specific port. Communication interface component 301 may then intercept traffic at the network level and pass the traffic to the port. Another possible way to implement communication interface component 301 is through the use of a virtual device. Web server software 203 may bind to the virtual device while communication interface component 301 may bind to the actual network socket (e.g., communication interface 280). Communication interface component 301 could then receive network traffic at the actual socket and forward the traffic to web server software 203. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that many different techniques can be used to implement communication interface component 301, and that the optimal technique to use may depend on a number of situation specific factors, such as the particular hardware and software environment of WHIPS 202 and web server software 203.
Filter engine 302 compares commands received by communication interface 301 to a list of valid commands stored in comparison tables 303. If, based on the comparison, filter engine 302 determines that a command is not valid, communication interface 301 may not pass the command to web server 203. By screening incoming commands, filter engine 302 eliminates malicious commands that are being transmitted to web server software 203 with the intention of de-stabilizing or corrupting server 103.
Resource manager 304 monitors resources of server 103. When the resources of server 103 are constrained, resource manager 304 may throttle back resource usage of server 103. By ensuring that the resources of web server 103 are not overloaded, resource manager increases the stability of web server 103.
Filter engine 302, comparison tables 303, and resource manager 304 are described in more detail below.
As shown in
The GET command is used by end-users to retrieve resources from server 103. A simple static GET command, for example, may take the form of: GET <URI>, where URI is a uniform resource identifier that identifies the resource that is to be retrieved. The URI, may, for example, refer to a document (e.g., an HTML page), a picture, or an audio file on server 103.
A resource referenced by the URI of the GET command may not be a static resource. Instead, the URI may refer to data that is dynamically generated by the server. For example, the URI may refer to a script file that the receiving server executes to generate data that may depend on one or more variables. For example, a GET command may reference a script that returns the latest weather forecast by causing the server to lookup the latest weather forecast before returning it to the user.
Table 401 may include all valid static GET commands for server 103. For example, server 103 may include an HTML file, "home.html" 410 and a picture file "family.jpg" 411, that server 103 wishes to make available to end-user computing devices 101. Although only two entries are specifically shown in table 401, in practice, a table such as table 401 may contain many more than two entries.
Table 402 may include entries for GET commands that reference dynamic entries, such as GET commands that initiate the execution of scripts. The scripts may comply with the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) standard that provides for the creation of interactive web sites. Two scripts, scripts 420 and 421, are shown in table 402. Consistent with an aspect of the invention, table 402 may include information in addition to the name of the script. Table 402 may, for example, additionally store information 423 and 424 that characterizes the nature of the script referenced by the file name and the expected input parameters of the script. For example, a Perl script 421 that processes user information such as the user name should constrain the name size (e.g., 50 characters or less). Accordingly, the information 424 for the Perl script 421 in table 402 may additionally indicate whether the Perl script appropriately constrains the name size.
WHIPS 202 may maintain tables for other commands in addition to the GET command. The HTTP POST command, for example, allows a user to transmit data for processing by server 103. POST commands are typically dynamic commands that reference scripts for processing the user's data. Table 403 may store entries, such as entries 430 and 431, associated with POST commands. The entries for the POST commands are structured similarly to the entries in dynamic GET table 402.
To ensure efficient access for tables 401–403, these tables may be sorted and/or organized into a tree structure. Additionally, a cache area may be established in server 103 that stores that most frequently accessed entries in tables 401–403 for quick access by the server. Although not shown, other tables, such as tables for the HTTP PUT command, may also be included in comparison tables 303.
Web server 103 may return a "request not found" error to the user that transmitted the bad command.
Before using comparison tables 303 to determine if received commands are valid, WHIPS 202 initially constructs the comparison tables. WHIPS 202 may construct the comparison tables before web server software 203 is deployed. Comparison tables 303 may be incrementally updated as administrators modify the content that is to be supplied by web server software 203.
In constructing comparison tables 303, WHIPS 202 examines all files that define content or that generate content for web server software 203. Generally, web serving programs store these types of files in a file directory structure beginning at a web root directory. Accordingly, WHIPS 202 may recursively scan all directories under the web root directory to find web-related files. Static files may be used to fill static GET table 401. Scripts may be appropriately placed in dynamic GET table 402 and POST table 403. WHIPS 202 may examine scripts it locates to determine information, such as information 423 and 424, that characterizes the nature of the scripts including the nature of the input parameters expected end-users when they invoke the scripts.
Resource manager 304 monitors resources of server 103 and may throttle back resource usage of server 103 when a resource becomes constrained. In this manner, resource manager 304 can work in conjunction with filter engine 302 to increase the stability of server 103.
Resource manager 304 maintains a threshold level relating to the activity level of communication interface 280. The threshold level may be set by an administrator locally at server 103 or from a remote computer over network 102. Resource manager 304 may check to determine whether the activity level at the communication interface 280 is above the threshold (Act 702). If it is, resource manager 304 may take remedial actions to effectively throttle back the number of active connections (Act 703). Such actions can include closing open connections. For example, resource manager 304 may first close connections that are open but inactive. If the number of connections is still too high, resource manager 304 may close connections that the server 103 classifies as lower priority connections. If the number of connections is still too high, resource manager 304 may begin to randomly close open connections. In addition, while the number of open connections is above the threshold, resource manager 304 may refuse any new connection requests from end-user computing devices 101.
In addition to checking an activity level of communication interface 280, resource manager 304 may check usage of memory 230. When memory capacity exceeds a predetermined threshold level (e.g., 95% of memory 230 is full), resource manager 304 may take memory-related remedial actions (Acts 705 and 706). These actions may include, for example, shutting down inactive processes (often referred to as zombie processes).
Resource manager 304 may also check processor usage. When the load on processor 220 is above a predetermined threshold (e.g., 90% of total processor capacity), resource manager 304 may take remedial actions (Acts 708 and 709). These actions may be similar to the actions taken in Act 706, and may include, for example, shutting down inactive processes or shutting down lower priority processes.
Resource manager 304 may also check the capacity of storage device 250, such as a hard disk drive(s). When storage device 250 has exceeded a predetermined threshold capacity (e.g., 95% of capacity), resource manager 304 may again take remedial action, (Act 711 and 712), such as redirecting future disk write commands to console (i.e., to a monitor) or compressing non-critical files such as log files.
Accordingly, as shown in the acts of
One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that commands to check processor load, storage device load, and network connection load are well known, and are thus not described in detail herein.
WHIPS, as described above, includes a filter engine that examines incoming commands to ensure that web servers only process commands that access valid and authorized resources on the web server. Non-valid commands are blocked. WHIPS may additionally include a resource manager component that monitors resource usage at the server. The resource manager component may throttle back resources that are overburdened.
The foregoing description of preferred embodiments of the invention provides illustration and description, but is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practice of the invention. Moreover, while a series of acts have been presented with respect to
Although WHIPS was primarily discussed herein as operating as a web server, WHIPS could, in other implementations, be adapted for use in other networked environments that include an application server.
Certain portions of the invention have been described as software that performs one or more functions. The software may more generally be implemented as any type of logic. This logic may include hardware, such as an application specific integrated circuit or a field programmable gate array, software, or a combination of hardware and software.
No element, act, or instruction used in the description of the present application should be construed as critical or essential to the invention unless explicitly described as such. Also, as used herein, the article "a" is intended to include one or more items. Where only one item is intended, the term "one" or similar language is used.
The scope of the invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.

Last week I received a present that made me smile! A box of candy! But not just any candy, it was an email saying that I was given a box of goodies from Sugarwish, and that I needed to pick out what I wanted.
Last week I received a present that made me smile! A box of candy! But not just any candy, it was an email saying that I was given a box of goodies from Sugarwish, and that I needed to pick out what I wanted.
One of the best desserts / gifts / party favors I have in my little "rolodex of presents" is the Mint Malt Balls first introduced to me by event planner extraordinaire, David Monn. He put them in our hotel goodie bags for our wedding (10 years ago) and since then I have been a big fan. Yet, one can only hoard so much candy, so I eventually forgot about them. Fast forward to David Monn's Book Party, and there they were. Green malt balls in little containers on every table throughout the entire New York Public Library. BINGO, sold, addicted all over again.
Enamored with anything Oregonian and delicious, I recently stumbled upon (in my mother's kitchen) the most INCREDIBLE, tasty unusual, and delicious treat, made by a Local Company, Jacobsen Salt Co. A little background: my parents met and married in Stockholm, Sweden, 42 years ago. I also lived there as a 5 year old for a year. Soooo, I feel a connection to anything Swedish (add that to my long list of special connections: Oregon, Paris, hippy, etc..) One of the many Swedish food loves is black licorice, and especially salted black licorice. It is definitely an acquired taste, but if you do like it, you LOVE it. And my mother is royally obsessed with black licorice and stocks up on it when in Scandinavia. So it was a treat for her to find her favorite candy made by a local company. Hip hip hooray!
I am a health freak as I love my gym, nature, fresh air, chia seeds, coconut, and vegan concoctions. And yet, I am a sucker for candy, too. I KNOW, right? Hard to believe, but I love it. I hoard Halloween candy all year because I love the shiny wrappers and the delicious, chocolatey, oh-so-sweet treats inside. Drooling now. And it is so cliche, but a candy store to me, is well, like one big candy store. I can't just look, and I want to taste everything — it all looks delicious and I NEED. EVERYTHING. THEN. AND. NOW. SHAKE. SHAKE. CONVULSIONS.

Venus Drive
by Sam Lipsyte
(Open City Books)
"We are always shushing for in case the Old Lady puts her high holy ear to the keyhole."
Come across a sentence like this--naivete displayed through sculpted, intentionally poor, though satisfying, grammar--and you can bet the writer crossed paths with Gordon Lish, directly or indirectly, early in the struggle to get published. It's no surprise to see Sam Lipsyte thank Gordon Lish first on the back page of Venus Drive.
"Now he's sore arms, sore neck from hauling all the Liquor Board crates, sore everything every night, aching, waiting for his salt bath, wanting to know from us which of us needs Rachel. Now he shushes up for in case the Old Lady will hear."
These bleak stories work a simple recipe of meaningless sex, drugs, and a death wish with a shifting, recurring cast. The first, "Old Soul," is the least subtle, bringing paid-for sex and incest bordering on necrophilia alongside a sister's unexplained, wasting disease and the narrator's pointless existence. "You could touch for a couple of bucks," the story starts. Nude dancers, prostitutes, drug addicted women who say, "I should probably blow you,"--standard signs identifying the narrator, and the author, as having insider knowledge into a dark, secret world. In truth though, this world of cheap sex, drinking, drugs, and inanity is unfortunately overly accessible, overly populated, and not much of a secret at all.
The second story follows the callousness of the first; the narrator toys with the idea of mercy killing. The writer is out to earn a tough-guy badge and he earns it, creating cold, unsympathetic characters at the expense of a more complex exploration of humanity.
For the most part, it reads as show and posturing. It's hard to sell a first story collection, and hard to distinguish oneself from all the other clamoring new authors. Sam Lipsyte wants to be recognized as a bad ass. He's following in the wake of Fante, Bukowski and Johnson, each one dropping the softer elements of the one before in an effort to break new ground.
But in between efforts at shock value, there are sentences in Venus Drive that offer a glimpse of more ordinary humanity. In "Probe to the Negative" the narrator says, "Yesterday's thought was how did I get here, thirty-one, thirty-two, just this huge knot of unknowing and losing my hair. Big deal, you say. Male pattern baldness. But that's the thing. There's no pattern to it." For a moment male pattern baldness seems more mysterious and foreboding, indicative of the futility of struggle in the face of time passing, than the certainty of death itself as presented in all the other stories.
