1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to electronic communication linkage security systems, and more particularly to an improved electronic computer linkage interface control security system and method for providing secure communications access between digital data devices.
2. Related Art
As computer usage increases, and particularly as the scope of computer communication network system usage increases, a greater number of computer users potentially have access to any one computer system. Hence, the need exists for increased security for such computer systems by limiting computer access to only authorized users. One manner of controlling such access is to permit only authorized terminals to be used in accessing a main computer. While a variety of computer access control systems have been proposed in the past, most such systems rely solely on presentation of a computer terminal password or identification number to a main computer system for comparison with stored data records so as to verify the authorization of that terminal to access the computer. Such simple password or identification schemes are subject to failure if a determined effort is made to evade or corrupt the security system. For example, a determined unauthorized user may actually be able to intercept an authorized terminal's password or identification number during a communication session between an authorized user on an authorized terminal and a main computer. Thereafter, the unauthorized user may be able to surreptitiously obtain access to the main computer using the intercepted password or identification number to emulate an authorized terminal.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide a low cost digital data communications linkage interface control system and method for more reliably controlling access from a computer terminal to a main computer over a communications linkage and to minimize or eliminate the possibility of using an intercepted copy of the terminal's password or identification number. The present invention achieves this object by means of a simple electronic circuit combined with a method implemented by means of a computer program for regulating such access to authorized terminals only.
The present invention provides a low cost digital data communications linkage interface control system for regulating access between digital data devices, and in particular for regulating access from a computer terminal to a main computer. (For purposes of this description, the example of a computer terminal and main computer will be used throughout). Each terminal is coupled through a computer linkage interface control (CLIC) module that generates and stores a random or pseudo-random identification number, or coupling code, that is unique to the terminal. In operation, when a user desires to communicate from the terminal to the main computer, a sign-on code is transmitted from the terminal to the main computer. This sign-on code may be in accordance with commonly known sign-on procedures. A computer program in the main computer (or alternately in a pre-processor computer controlling communications access to the main computer), or a hardware device in the main computer, or a combination of both, receives the sign-on code, searches for that sign-on code in electronic storage or memory, and retrieves a coupling code associated with that sign-on code. The main computer or pre-processor then communicates with the CLIC module associated with the terminal, and requests that the coupling code stored in the CLIC module be sent back for comparison with the retrieved coupling code. If a match occurs, access by the terminal to the main computer is granted. Otherwise, no communication is permitted between the terminal and the main computer. In addition, the main computer or pre-processor may create a log of access attempts, which may contain information including the terminal identification number, the date and time of access, and other desirable information.
After access by the terminal to the main computer is granted, the main computer or the pre-processor sends at least one message to the CLIC module to cause generation of a new random or pseudo-random coupling code. Prior to termination of the communications session, at least one new coupling code is sent to the main computer or pre-processor and stored in memory.
This invention is thus designed to permit only terminals having a proper coupling code to be connected to the main computer.
The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objectives and advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which the presently preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description only, and are not intended as a definition of the limitations of the invention.
The invention will become better understood by reference to the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings showing the preferred embodiment of the invention:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the general component parts of the inventive communications linkage interface control system.,
FIG. 2 (PART A and PART B) is a schematic diagram of the inventive computer linkage interface control module.
Like reference numbers in the figures refer to like elements.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart depicting a typical communication session as disclosed by the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a general schematic of the inventive CLIC module 1 in a typical configuration. A terminal 2, which may be a video terminal, printer terminal, personal computer, or other interactive computer communications device, is coupled through the CLIC module 1 to a first modulator/demodulator (modem) 3 which permits a telecommunications linkage to a second modem 4. The second modem 4 in turn connects to a security computer 5 in the preferred embodiment. The security computer 5 may be, for example, a personal computer, microcomputer, or minicomputer. The security computer 5 is in turn connected to a main computer 6. In an alternative embodiment, the functions of the security computer 5 can be implemented through similar computer programming in the main computer 6.
The modems 3, 4 are standard data communications devices and simply provide telecommunications access between the terminal 2 and CLIC module 1 and the security computer 5 and main computer 6, in known fashion. In the event a local area network or similar data communications system is used to connect the CLIC module 1 to the security computer 5, no modems are necessary, but other communication interfaces or devices may be substituted therefor in a fashion wellknown in the art.
The purpose of the CLIC module 1 is to control access by the terminal 2 to the main computer 6. Part of the means for controlling such access may reside in the security computer 5, implemented in the preferred embodiment by means of a computer program. (In the following description, and particularly with respect to FIG. 2, reference will be made only to the main computer 6 as the means for performing the security program functions of the security computer 5). The CLIC module 1 and the security program act in essence as a gateway or switch controlling access by the terminal 2 to the main computer 6.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the CLIC module 1. Basically, a CLIC module is designed to be able to generate, store, and transmit upon command a random or pseudo-random number which is the coupling code for the terminal associated with the particular CLIC module. In the preferred embodiment, the coupling code comprises eight bytes. Of course, longer or shorter coupling codes can be implemented by simple variations of the circuitry shown in FIG. 2.
The CLIC module 1 shown in FIG. 2 selectively operates in one of two modes. The first mode, known as the Auto Send mode, is the mode used when a user first attempts access from the associated terminal 2 to the main computer 6 via the modem links 3, 4. In operation, the user is initially permitted access from the terminal 2 to the computer 6 solely for sign-on purposes. For example, the user's terminal may automatically send a terminal identification number through the CLIC module 1 to the computer 6. The computer 6 is programmed to search for this terminal identification number in a table having associated secret coupling codes stored in the computer or associated storage devices. Upon retrieving the associated coupling code, the programmed computer 6 generates a special control code which is sent to the CLIC module 1. This control code is detected by the CLIC module 1, causing its stored coupling code to be sent to the computer 6 for comparison with the coupling code previously retrieved by the computer 6. If a match occurs, the computer 6 permits access by the terminal 2 to the computer 6.
The CLIC module 1 has a second mode, known as the Control mode. Prior to termination of a communications session via the terminal 2 with the computer 6, a program in the computer 6 causes a second control code to be sent to the CLIC module 1 which activates the Control mode. In this mode, further commands from the computer 6 cause the CLIC module 1 to begin generating an increment command consisting of a new, random or pseudo-random coupling code. The new coupling code, once stored in the CLIC module, may thereafter be sent to the computer 6 for storage in replacement of the prior coupling code used for that terminal. In a subsequent communications session, this newly generated coupling code is used for controlling access by the terminal 2 to the computer 6.
A typical communication session from a terminal to a computer is shown in a flowchart included as FIG. 3.
Communications to and from the computer 6 and terminal 2 through the CLIC module 1 are primarily controlled by a dual universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) 7 and a first RS232 interface 8 and a second RS232 interface 9. These components are standard, and are well known in the art. During permitted communications between the terminal 2 and the computer 6, data flows bi-directionally through the first RS232 interface 8, the UART 7, and the second RS232 interface 9. The UART 7 is also configured to accept a serial bit stream from the computer 6 via the modems 3, 4 and output at least eight parallel bits of information on a bus 10. The CLIC module 1 constantly monitors the bit patterns transmitted from the computer 6 for the presence of one of two initial control codes. A CCR switch bank 11 is coupled to a CCR comparator 12, which in turn is coupled to the UART output bus 10. The CCR switch bank 11 simply permits setting a code (hexidecimal "FC" in the present embodiment) for input to the CCR comparator 12. Similarly, a CCG switch bank 13 inputs a code (hexadecimal "FD" in the present embodiment) to a CCG comparator 14, which is also coupled to the UART output bus 10.
After the initial terminal identification is sent to the computer 6, the computer 6 sends a coupling code request ("CCR") control code "FC" to the CLIC module 1. The CCR control code is detected by the CCR comparator 12, which generates an output signal that sets a CCR flip-flop 15, and also increments a sequential counter 16. The output of the CCR flip-flop 15 causes the RS232 interface circuit 9 coupled to the terminal 2 to be disabled, thus temporarily suspending communications between the terminal 2 and the computer 6. The output of the CCR flip-flop 15 also enables a first binary counter 17. The clock signal to the first binary counter 17 is generated by a baud rate generator 18, and is further controlled by a "ready" signal from the UART 7, generated in known fashion.
The output of the first binary counter 17 is coupled to a binary-to-decimal converter, or selector, 19. The selector 19 causes each binary count from the first binary counter 17 to activate a single corresponding output line.
Activation of the number 1 output line of the selector 19 causes a "send" signal to be sent to the UART 7. This "send" signal causes the output of a multiplexer bank 20 to be sent through the UART 7 to the computer 6. The multiplexer bank 20 in the preferred embodiment is a set of seven 8-to-1 multiplexers. Upon the occurrence of the first "send" signal, seven bits are sent from the multiplexer bank 20 through the UART 7 (which may add a parity bit if necessary) and sent on to the computer 6, where it is temporarily stored.
As the first binary counter 17 is clocked to its next output state, the second output of the selector 19 is activated, which causes a second binary counter 21 to be incremented. The second binary counter 21 in the Auto Send mode simply counts from binary zero through binary eight. The outputs from binary zero through binary seven are sent from the second binary counter 21 to the multiplexer bank 20 as address inputs. Thus, each count causes a new pattern of seven bits to appear on the outputs of the multiplexer bank 20. The second binary counter 21 eventually resets itself to binary zero upon the occurrence of a binary eight count, and further resets the CCR flip-flop 15.
The third output of the selector 19 simply causes the first binary counter 17 to be reset to binary zero, thus starting its counting cycle over, and sending the new output of the multiplexer bank 20 to the UART 7 for transmission to the computer 6.
The effect of the Auto Send mode is to cause the second binary counter 21 to address in sequence eight separate input patterns to the multiplexer bank 20. These eight seven-bit patterns are sent through the UART 7 to the computer 6, and comprise the coupling code for the CLIC module 1. If the coupling code sent by the CLIC module 1 to the computer 6 matches the coupling code previously stored in the computer 6 in a prior communication session, and that coupling code is the proper one associated with the terminal identification number sent at the commencement of the current session from the terminal 2 to the computer 6, then access by the terminal 2 to the computer 6 is permitted by the computer 6 itself.
At any time prior to the termination of the communications session between the terminal 2 and the computer 6, the computer 6 sends a second control code, the coupling code generation ("CCG") signal (which in the present embodiment is the hexadecimal number "FD") to the CLIC module 1. The CCG comparator 14 continuously monitors the UART output bus 10 and compares the signals on that bus to the settings of the CCG switchbank 13. When a match occurs, a CCG flip-flop 22 is set, and in addition the sequential counter 16 is incremented by one count. The setting of the CCG flip-flop 22 also causes the RS232 interface 9 between the CLIC module 1 and the terminal 2 to be temporarily disabled. The setting of the CCG flip-flop 22 also causes a second binary-to-decimal selector circuit 23 to be enabled for interpretation of the following commands:
Load Command
Start increment command
Stop increment command
Send command
Clear command
In the preferred embodiment, four of the eight output lines from the UART bus 10 are decoded by the selector 23. Thus, the computer 6, after sending the CCG control command to the CLIC module 1, can send further control codes to the selector 23 which will selectively activate in the preferred embodiment one of five control lines.
Two of the control lines are used to set or reset, respectively, a flip-flop 24 which, in conjunction with a special clock generator 25, causes a counter 26 to generate a 36-bit number. The special clock generator 25 is preferably a somewhat inaccurate clock, to maximize the probability that the number generated by the 36-bit counter 26 will be essentially random, since the length of time that the counter 26 is permitted to count is intentionally arbitrary. The special clock generator 25 may simply consist of a common NE555 timer circuit. The output of the 36-bit counter 26 is randomly coupled into the multiplexer bank 20. That is, the thirty-six bit lines of the counter 26 are variously and randomly wired to one or more of the input lines of the seven 8-to-1 multiplexers comprising the multiplexer bank 20. This random connection causes a pseudo-random number to be generated when the multiplexer bank 20 is read out sequentially under control of the second binary counter 21. In addition, the output of the sequential counter 16 is also coupled into the multiplexer bank, but in a more orderly fashion. The sequential counter 16 has at least seven binary outputs in the preferred embodiment, each of which is coupled to a single one of the seven 8-to-1 multiplexers comprising the multiplexer bank 20. This allows the computer 6 to poll the CLIC module 1 at any time during a communications session using the CCG or CCR control codes and automatically cause the multiplexer bank 20 to generate a new coupling code simply from the incrementing of the sequential counter 16.
The remaining control lines from the selector 23 in the preferred embodiment include a preset load command, permitting an initial count (obtained from three lines of the UART output bus 10) to be loaded into the second binary counter 21, such that the second binary counter 21 will commence counting at the preset value. In addition, the selector 23 can decode a command from the computer 6 to cause a "send" signal to be generated to activate the UART 7 such that the multiplexer bank 20 may be accessed and read out by the computer 6 under direct control. Lastly, the selector 23 may decode a command from the computer 6 to reset the CCG flip-flop 22 to place the CLIC module 1 back into the Auto Send mode to await receipt of a CCR control command.
The ability to preset the binary counter 21 to any initial count value permits the computer 6 to access the coupling code formed by the multiplexer bank 20 in any order of bytes, as an added means for foiling an attempt to intercept and use a coupling code from an authorized terminal.
Before the communications session terminates, the computer 6 causes the newly generated coupling code to be sent from the CLIC module 1 to the computer 6 for storage. Thus, at a next communications session, this new coupling code is used for determining whether a terminal is authorized to access the main computer 6.
To summarize the method used in conjunction with the CLIC module 1, the following steps are taken:
1. A terminal identification number is sent from a terminal to a security program residing in the main computer or a pre-processor computer;
2. The security program polls the CLIC module of the terminal for the CLIC module's current coupling code and also retrieves from storage or memory the previously stored coupling code associated with the terminal identification number;
3. The security program compares the retrieved coupling code to the one received from the CLIC module;
4. If a match occurs, access from the terminal to the main computer is allowed; if not, access is denied;
5. Before the end of the communications session, the security program directs the CLIC module to generate at least one new coupling code and transmit it to the computer to store for use in a next communications session.
While this invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended that this description be construed in a limiting sense. For example, although particular circuits have been selected for use in the preferred embodiment, other components having similar characteristics could be used in the circuit. For example, the entire circuit or its functional equivalent may be implemented as a single integrated circuit. Various modifications of the preferred embodiment will be apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reference to this description. Thus, this invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiment discussed and illustrated herein, but rather by the following claim.

This post was written by Connor Balough
After weeks of waiting — and 8 years of hoping — House Republicans on Monday released their proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act. It's called The American Healthcare Act.
Elements of the proposal, which was kept under lock and key last week — have been leaked out for a few days. The text of the two bills encompassing the GOP plan validates much of what we gleefully expected. On the whole, however, it's a friendlier, more working American-friendly proposal than even a lot of conservatives expected.
The proposal defunds Planned Parenthood. No federal funding can be made, either directly or indirectly, by Medicaid to a healthcare organization that "provides for abortions," other than those done in cases of rape or incest or to save the life of the mother. That's Planned Parenthood. It's proper to note that Planned Parenthood has come out vocally against this, claiming they don't use federal money to pay for abortions, and that it's already against the law. But this measure shuts down funding for an organization that is performing abortions and able to sustain it's existence on taxpayers' backs.
The bill effectively shuts down private health insurance coverage for abortion. According to a House Ways and Means Committee digest, the measure forbids spending federal tax subsidies on health plans that include coverage of abortion, even if the customer doesn't get an abortion. would limit availability for abortions, or would lead to insurers dropping abortion coverage from their plans, or both. Customers could buy separate policies to cover abortions, but couldn't use the federal subsidy to help pay for them. Insurers likely would charge hugely discouraging premiums for such policies, as the market for them would be tiny.
The individual and employer mandates are eliminated. They're not repealed exactly, but the penalties are repealed, which amounts to the same thing. This is the death blow to Obamacare, and what was driving premiums so high for consumers. Aetna's chairman and chief executive, Mark Bertolini, said recently that the individual market was entering a "death spiral" in which healthier customers dropped coverage, leaving sicker customers who know they need insurance facing an ever-increasing rates.
Bertolini's remarks at the Wall Street Journal's the Future of Healthcare event came a day after the official end of his company's proposed merger with the health insurer Humana — a divorce that will cost Aetna a $1 billion breakup fee. It also came a day after Humana announced that it would pull out of all of its remaining ACA exchanges for 2018, arguing that the risk pool was unbalanced because not enough healthy people were signing up for insurance compared with the number of sick people.
"That logic shows just how much the risk pool is deteriorating in the ACA and how poorly structured the funding mechanism and premium model is," Bertolini said. "I think you will see a lot more withdrawals this year of plans."
All of Obamacare's taxes are repealed, another relief for working class. Everything from the tax on tanning salons and medical devices to the surcharge on taxpayers will be gone. As we explained earlier, this amounts to an enormous tax break for Americans — at least $346 billion over 10 years. The proposal would greatly lower and even reverse some of the Obama inflation we've seen in the past 8 years.
It will Help Americans access affordable, quality health care by providing a monthly tax credit—between $2,000 and $14,000 a year—for low- and middle-income individuals and families who don't receive insurance through work or a government program.
Here's some of the common questions answered from the House GOP website on the bill:
What does your legislation do?
Our plan delivers relief from the taxes and mandates that have hurt job creators, increased premiums, and limited options for patients and health care providers.
It returns control of health care from Washington back to the states and restores the free market so Americans can access the quality, affordable health care options that are tailored to their needs.
How will your legislation be better than Obamacare?
Obamacare was based on a one-size-fits-all approach that put bureaucrats in Washington in charge of your health care.
The law led to higher costs, fewer choices, and less access to the care people need.
What we're proposing will deliver the control and choice individuals and families need to access health care that's right for them.
And we provide the freedom and flexibility states, job creators, and health care providers need to deliver quality, affordable health care options.
How will this improve my health care?
What we're proposing will decrease premiums and expand and enhance health care options so Americans can find a plan that's right for them.
We also make sure Americans can save and spend their health care dollars the way they want and need—not the way Washington prescribes.
Are you repealing patient protections, including for people with pre-existing conditions?
No. Americans should never be denied coverage or charged more because of a pre-existing condition.
We preserve vital patient protections, such as (1) prohibiting health insurers from denying coverage to patients based on pre-existing conditions, and (2) lifting lifetime caps on medical care.
And we allow dependents to continue staying on their parents' plan until they are 26.
Are you repealing all of Obamacare's taxes?
Our plan delivers relief from all of Obamacare's taxes, including dismantling taxes on prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, health-insurance premiums, and medical devices.
And we immediately eliminate the individual and employer mandate penalties, which forced millions of people into Obamacare plans they don't want and cannot afford.
Are you repealing the subsidies?
Obamacare's subsidies must be repealed. They are deeply flawed and leave millions of middle-class individuals and families without any help to pay for health care.
Just as President Trump called for, we will replace Obamacare's subsidies with a tax credit that helps Americans—including those Obamacare left behind—access health care options that are tailored to their needs.
Are you repealing Obamacare's Medicaid expansion?
Medicaid is a critical program, but it has its flaws—including fewer choices and less access to quality care. Obamacare's expansion made those flaws worse.
Our proposal strengthens Medicaid and targets the program's limited resources to the patients most in need.
We will provide a stable transition and help ensure low-income Americans have access quality, affordable options through a new, competitive, state-based private insurance marketplace.
Won't millions of Americans lose their health insurance because of your plan?
No. We are working to give all Americans peace of mind about their health care. We will have a stable transition toward a system that empowers patients with more choices and lower costs.
During the transition, Americans will continue to have access to their existing health care options.
We even take steps to immediately provide more flexibility and choice for the people who purchase insurance through the individual marketplace. For example, individuals and families will be able to use their existing subsidy to purchase insurance—including the catastrophic coverage that's currently prohibited—off of the exchanges.
What happens to the coverage I get through work?
We preserve employer-sponsored coverage—a vital benefit that helps more than 150 million workers and families access affordable, quality health care.
How are you going to cover the millions of Americans who gained coverage through Obamacare's Medicaid expansion?
Our proposal provides Americans who do not receive insurance through work or a government program with an advanceable, refundable tax credit so they can access a plan that's right for them—not one that's dictated by Washington.
How is this tax credit different than Obamacare's subsidies?
Obamacare's subsidies were based on income, created a disincentive to work, and left millions of hard-working, middle-class Americans behind.
Obamacare's subsidies also only applied to insurance dictated by Washington, substantially limiting flexibility and choice.
Our legislation repeals Obamacare's flawed subsidies in 2020 and instead provides a tax credit to low- and middle-income Americans who do not receive insurance through work or a government program.
Unlike Obamacare's subsidies, these tax credits are based on age and family size and will gradually phase out as your income increases—making sure work always pays and hard-working Americans are never left behind.
How big will my tax credit be? Will I be able to buy a real health care plan with it?
Our tax credits are based on age and family size.
Each year, low- and middle-income Americans will be eligible to receive between $2,000 and $14,000 to purchase health insurance, depending on how old you are and how big your family is.
These tax credits will be credible—something that will make a meaningful difference for individuals and families when it comes accessing health care through a new, competitive, state-based insurance market.
With all the other policies, we are proposing to increase choices and lowers costs, this tax credit will help people access the health care options they want and need.
How will women be affected under your proposal?
Our proposal specifically prohibits any gender discrimination.
Women will have equal access to the same affordable, quality health care options as men do under our proposal.
Will women be able to purchase a plan that covers abortions?
No. Our proposal is consistent with the bipartisan Hyde Amendment, which does not allow taxpayer dollars to go toward funding an elective abortion.
Won't premiums increase when you repeal the individual and employer mandates because fewer people will participate in the individual market?
By repealing taxes, rolling back regulations and mandates, and restoring control back to the states, our plan unleashes innovation and competition in the health care.
This approach will result in lower costs and more choices. In fact, our plan is expected to lower premiums. And it will deliver much more flexibility for people to save and spend their health care dollars the way they want and need.
How are you paying for this plan? How much is it going to cost taxpayers?
We are still discussing details, but we are committed to repealing Obamacare and replacing it with fiscally responsible policies that restore the free market and protect taxpayers.

Sky-Sun Preview
Making the playoffs for the first time in franchise history looked like a realistic possibility for the Chicago Sky earlier this season, but they could soon find themselves out of contention if their recent woes continue.
A home-and-home set against the Eastern Conference-leading Connecticut Sun isn't likely to help their cause.
The Sky try to avoid a 10th consecutive loss Sunday when they visit the Sun, winners of seven of eight.
After jumping out to a 7-1 start thanks in part to superb play from Epiphanny Prince, Chicago (8-14) saw its season take a turn for the worse June 16 when she broke her foot during an 84-70 defeat at Indiana. While the Sky lost seven of eight during Prince's absence, her return to the court following the Olympic break hasn't made much difference.
Averaging 24.3 points in eight games before her injury, Prince has scored 11.0 per game on 32.0 percent shooting in five contests this month. She came off the bench for the first time this season Friday, scoring 11 points on 3-of-12 shooting during an 81-78 overtime loss at Tulsa. The Sky led by 11 in the fourth quarter before falling apart.
Courtney Vandersloot had a career-best 23 points off the bench while Shay Murphy scored 17 and added 10 rebounds for the Sky, who've suffered six losses by six points or fewer - four in OT - during their nine-game skid.
Chicago's longest slide since it lost 13 straight during its inaugural season in 2006 has dropped the club outside of playoff position in the East.
One of those deflating defeats came against the Sun (17-5) on July 13. Connecticut rallied from a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit before pulling out an 80-78 overtime victory on Allison Hightower's layup with 8.9 seconds left in the extra period.
The Sun are coming off another dramatic win, beating the Shock 82-80 in overtime Tuesday. Kara Lawson played the role of hero this time around, making a go-ahead 3-pointer with 11.8 seconds left in OT.
"Kara doesn't have any fear," coach Mike Thibault said of Lawson, who signed a three-year extension last weekend. "Great players want to take big shots."
Lawson finished with 19 points and matched a season best with five 3s. In contrast, she was limited to eight points on 2-of-10 shooting versus Chicago last month.
The Sky, 2-13 when their opponent scores at least 70 points, could have trouble slowing down a Sun team averaging 82.2. These teams meet again Tuesday at Chicago.

2013 Riesling 'Ferricrete', Paul Cluver £11.99, M&S
Elgin is small area an hour or so east of Cape Town. Its cool climate provides some of South Africa's most pure, elegant whites. From one of the region's pioneers, this is a tightrope walk between wildflower honey and lime zest with a hint of the sea – ideal spring refreshment.
2013 Sauvignon Blanc, Iona £12.99, sawinesonline.co.uk
I sipped this at the end of a long three-hour tasting; it revitalised me and sent me bouncing to work. It is so vibrant and intense without being over-the-top. There is fruit in the form of lemon and kiwi, but it is its savoury nuances and icy-cool, long finish that make this one of the finest versions of this grape I have had from South Africa.
2011 Chardonnay, Neil Ellis £13.45, All About Wine (allaboutwine.co.uk)
Neil Ellis is unusual, being in effect a roving producer, making wines from most of the country's top regions. This chardonnay is lovely; the region naturally delivers a finely tuned, high acid framework around which hang flavours of ripe pear and delicate spice. Think South African chablis.

RYS 200, 300, 500 in Rishikesh
"Do you ever feel that, no matter what you acquire or achieve in your life, there's still something missing?"
This morning I was sitting in the peaceful oasis of the Pyramide Café in Rishikesh, sipping on a glass of Kombucha-tea and as my eyes took in the first sentence of the book I was holding, I wanted to jump out of my chair and scream: "Yes! Yes, sir ! That's me!".
The past week a growing sensation of dissatisfaction has arisen in my heart. Normally this is something positive; an opportunity to once again rub the Aladdin lamp and create something even better through a new desire. But the sensation has more been of emptiness, of anti-climax and a very uncomfortable suspicion that I could make a hundred and one new wishes and still not be happy.
As I see it; satisfaction is a state of mental contentment and normally linked to some sort of achievement, while happiness is an emotional contentment – and a skill - linked to an experience or sensation. Like many other people, westerners in particular, I am excellent at doing but not at being. I simply don't know how to just be, enjoying the present! This is indeed quite embarrassing when one is attempting to walk the path of yoga, where mindfulness is quite essential and more or less expected of you.
I used to run a lot before. I put on my running shoes, plugged in my earphones, turned up the volume of some heavy hip hop and ran… I ran through thunder and rain, through Spanish summer heat, through migraines, through heartache, through anger. From past to future I ran and the present was swirling by like confetti, so fast I only caught glimpses of it. I ran through days, weeks and months as if their very existence bothered me. I ran to the future, convinced that a pot of emotional gold would be waiting at the end of the rainbow.
I would've kept running till my heart stopped, hadn't my right knee protested so loudly. I loved reaching that state at the end, when you've pushed your body so far that the mind finally falls silent and sweat, panting and your own heartbeat is all that exists in your universe. Endorphins rushing through your blood stream, creating an addiction. The problem is of course the same as with most drugs; you need to constantly increase the dosage to reach the high that was so easily achievable when you first started.
Once again; insatiability is stirring in my heart. "More, more, more", she whispers…The impulse to run is moving like a snake underneath my skin, playing deceiving games with my mind. A desire for movement, change, destruction… But I can't outrun myself! None of us can and maybe that is why many of us are here, in Rishikesh? Most people here are running from something – consciously or subconsciously. The Indians I meet often mention family issues as their reason. Westerners are unaware of themselves as runners and think they are coming for yoga. But yoga can be practiced and found anywhere, hence most of them are running from who they are to who they want to be.
What I realize is that my running has taken me to a place where I have to remain until the desire to run has vanished completely. This is where I had to come, not to teach asanas but to change mindlessness to mindfulness. There are no distractions to run to and very few things to arise desire. I don't have family here and only few (but lovely) friends… if I don't learn to find peace in the present, to appreciate the small and simple things here, then no other place on the planet can teach me that.
I was admiring a flower at the Pyramide Café today. It's color was a bold pink and it was magnificent and beautiful and I realized that when we are watching flowers we are fully appreciating their present. We never think about the bud or ponder on when it will fade… we just see it as it is now, smell it as it is now and feel the soft petals as they are now. What if we could learn to appreciate everything around us like that, each moment as a flower to be admired?
Rishikesh… this beautiful, complex little town by the Himalayan foothills is nothing less than a divine Mindfulness Academy and some day I hope to graduate from it with pride and a new level of understanding.

Thornton 'excited' to join contending Red Sox
OAKLAND, Calif. — Matt Thornton spent eight seasons with the White Sox and set a franchise for appearances by a relief pitcher. He was part of the fabric there.
When general manager Rich Hahn called Thornton on Friday night and told him he had been traded to the Red Sox, the conversation was a tough one.
"I had a good relationship with everyone over there. But at the same time, I had heard about the rumors to Boston," Thornton said Saturday after joining the Red Sox during batting practice. "The opportunity to come over here was great for me.
"I've been smiling pretty much all day, knowing that I'm going to be on a first-place team in a pennant race."
The Red Sox needed a lefthanded reliever once Andrew Miller was lost for the season with an injury. The upcoming schedule also played a role in the team's acquisition of Thornton, who had a 3.86 earned run average in 40 appearances for Chicago.
The Red Sox play 10 consecutive games against American League East foes after the All-Star break. Thornton has considerable experience against those teams and their lefthanded hitters.
"Staying in the league that I know, I've faced most lefties in the league 10, 12, 15 times," Thornton said.
Thornton said his transition would be eased by his familiarity with Red Sox pitching coach Juan Nieves, the former White Sox bullpen coach.
"Juan and I were together for a long time," he said. "He's a good friend of mine. Love the guy to death and looking forward to working with him again. … I'm excited about all of this."

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — Catholics throughout the District are expressing mixed but mostly positive reactions to Pope Francis' remarks last week that the Catholic church has become obsessed over "small-minded rules" on issues like gay marriage, abortion and birth control.
In speaking to WNEW reporter Heather Curtis, one man, who was in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on Sunday, said many of the churches' original teachings are not consistent with today's changing society, including the churches' stance against homosexuality.
While another woman told Curtis that many of the churches' teachings aren't old-fashioned and should still be practiced.

text: The kindle touch has [finally] arrived in the UK, & I'm very tempted to get one (never considered the 'keyboard classic' version as I don't like the keyboard) - however I'm a little unsure about the 3G bit AFAIK, this allows me to download 'stuff' using the mobile network (for free) & not have to (try &) find a unlocked WiFi signal while out-&-about but..... ... is this ONLY for downloading books from Amazon ?? I was thinking of getting a kindle so that when I'm abroad on Holiday I have something to occupy my time while lying on a sunbed etc.... (instead of using my Phone or DS as a ebook reader) I plan to stick ebooks onto the Kindle BEFORE I go on holiday, but was hoping that while away - I could also download stuff like 'Local Weather reports'/ 'UK News (newspapers)' or 'UK Lotto numbers' (that sort of stuff) using the 3G network for FREE - I do notice that full 'newspapers' are available on subscription (for ~£9/mth) but I would like JUST small snippets of info, usually on a day-to-day basis, (Yes I know there's 14-day free newspaper trials...but I guess that I'll have to give payment details first & if I forget to cancel - I'll be charged after this period) I don't use my Phone while abroad for this kind of stuff - I'm on PAYG & roaming charge are astronomical - & the newspapers in foreign shops are usually 2-3 days out-of-date, but being able to get stuff like the latest weather report for the local area I'm in could come in handy for any excursions I plan to have Can any1 who owns a Kindle 3G (touch or otherwise) - whether in UK/USA or somewhere else in the world - tell me if what I want to do is possible all for free !! or will I HAVE to download newpapers on a monthly subscription basis while abroad ?? Also any idea WHAT network they use in the UK (vodaphone/O2 etc) - where I work I can only get Vodaphone signal, so it might be handy downloading newspapers while in work if I HAVE to go the 'monthly subscription' route, at least I'll get some use out of it when not on Holiday Thanks in advance

The Austin American Statesman did a good job with their article on what a new Supreme Court case may mean to DWIs.
Involuntary, warrantless, blood tests may be unconstitutional after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in MISSOURI v. MCNEELY.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently held that involuntary blood draws from drunken driving suspects can be unconstitutional. But the court offered little guidance on when they might be allowed, leaving the fate of pending cases in doubt.
The court's ruling said officers can only take blood samples without a warrant in "exigent circumstances," but did not define the term, and lower courts must now refine the ruling on a case-by-case basis.
It will be interesting to see what will happen to all our pending DWI cases in which our client's blood was drawn without consent or a search warrant. With these cases, blood was taken based on Texas statutes which had previously allowed officers to demand blood without a warrant. These include accidents in which there was a death or serious injury; when children were in the vehicle; when the person had has two or more drunken driving convictions; or when the suspect has a single previous conviction for intoxication assault, intoxication manslaughter or drunken driving with a child passenger, among others. As you can see, these, for the most part, are felony DWI charges.
You can bet we are going to challenge all of these statutory blood draws. If we can get the blood result suppressed by the Judge, we have moved the case a long way towards getting the result we, and out clients want. The McNeely case may end up being a very good tool in fighting "blood test" DWIs.

Happy 2010.
Yes, another boring space scene.
Yes, another boring space scene.
I can't say that this is a boring picture, not at all. Rather a exiting picture. It's looks like that you are on your way to a new planet. And when you see out the window of the spaceship, you se this awesome landscape.
I think it's a awesome piece you got here Great job
I think it's a awesome piece you got here Great job
I love simple scenes. Some of my favorite pictures.
So soft... just.... so soft...
Boring space scene? What the hell is wrong with you?
This is awesome!
This is awesome!
Quite lovely.
So peaceful and quiet, I love it!! Happy 2010
Love the simplistic look but the detail as well. A classic space image.
Boring? Don't be a fooligan, it's sexy.
Lol nice one dude Colouring is awesome, especially of the atmosphere and I love the way you've smudged it too. Think the planet could use a bit more detail but still looks great as it is. Not your best but still really, really good <3
that's not boring +fav yeah
i like.
Pretty damn good man.
That's actually quite peaceful, I like it. The teal colored gas is a really nice touch
This made my day! =]
Another boring space theme it would have been if it weren't for that nice etheral flowing gas coming off the main planet
Oh wow, how did you make this?

SpriteSheet Packer is open source project.Core Developers:* amakaseevDevelopers:* TheCodezSpecial thanks: musikov Start date of development: 8.01.2014Github: http://amakaseev.github.io/sprite-sheet-packer/ Uses Qt - Digia Plc, LGPL license.Having noticed interest cocos2d-x communities in sprite packer with GUI solved will share the development.
Description:SpriteSheet Packer - utility which allows to you collect sprites in atlas.Information about sprites frames can be exported in cocos2d-x format or, merely, in json-file. Also, exist ability to add own formats.Firstly, this project was developed for own needs, but in certain moment I thought that it can be useful for other devs I performed some fixes and placed it in open source.
Will be glad to hear feedbacks, Best Regards, Alexey.
Nice! How is it compared to Texture Packer?
@amakaseev Wow, this is amazing! Thank you
Texture Packer of course surpasses in many parameters as it supports more settings, algorithms and the modes of preservation of textures and data, but in too time of SpriteSheet Packer carries out the main task of packing and automatic scaling isn't much worse.
Thanks, I am very glad that you liked my work, she hope it is useful
implement drag and drop from finder/explorer for testing
Begining work on polygon sprite, porting AutoPolygon.
(only from sourses)v1.0.3======* Show identical list of sprite frame* Win32: Polished publish dialog (Window title, position)* Add display outlines on preview* UI and command line implementation of image optimization* Change zoom slider range (min: 10, max: 1000)* Added automatically refreshed preview* Generate spritesheet from commandline using existing project file
Your tool look so great, when do you release version 1.0.3 on github
Hi @amakaseev,
This tool looks promising, Do you have any new updates for this tool?
I have stopped work on version 1.0.3 as at the moment all opportunities for 2D of games suit me and I use him everywherev1.0.3======* Add save dialog on exit if project is dirty* Implement polygon packing algorithm* Implement generate polygon with sprites* Add optipng and pngquant optimizer* Add ToolTip for sprite frames* Fix bug with copy image (break alpha chanel if image scale)* Show identical list of sprite frame* Win32: Polished publish dialog (Window title, position)* Add display outlines on preview* UI and command line implementation of image optimization* Change zoom slider range (min: 10, max: 1000)* Added automatically refreshed preview* Generate spritesheet from commandline using existing project file
I am glad to tell you that I have continued work and have added several important features:
Github: http://amakaseev.github.io/sprite-sheet-packer/
Great job man ! i will try it . Now we only need free good box2d editor
This is really good work indeed. Keep it up.
@amakaseevI am a web developer. Since, it's open source tool, I can contribute by creating a decent 1-3 pages website if you like (You can give me layout if you've in mind). There we can show the capabilities and comparison with Texture packer. I mean, presenting a good product in a good way can motivate people to use your tool and may be some can contribute to the open source project if they like.
Also, can you please tell what in the following are supported by this tool:
Eg- I can see that ARGB4444 format is supported but dithering can be added as optimization.
Few suggestions: 1) Adding PVRTC4 compression to reduce overall altas size.2) Looks like, you've already added polygon sprite support. But do we've control over selecting number of polygons to be drawn for each sprite? It can add to significant optimization in terms of rendering that polygon sprite.
Thanks again bro.
Thanks for the offered help in creation of the website, is very good idea
PVRTC4 - is already added as well as some other formats, but still needs completion
Polygons are calculated automatically, the epsilon parameter indicates roughness of a grid, than it is more the it is less polygons
Oh ok..Got it.. That's nice.
New feature:
Amazing work so far! It is so nice to see that open source tools are developped for cocos2d which is an open source engine.Do you intend to keep it open source forever?
I have a feature suggestion: I saw that you already started to support multipacking as TexturePack does (i.e. creating several spritesheet in one project if one spritesheet is not enough for all imported images). One thing that always bugged me in TexturePacker is that there is no way to group sprites in the same project so that when it is multipacking, it preferably put these sprites together. For instance, if I have a single project with many smart folders so that then can not fit on one single spritesheet, TexturePacker will dispatch sprites of the same animation on several different spritesheets while for performance reasons they should be preferably kept together on the same spritesheet, even if it means losing some space. Do you see what I mean ?
Another very important feature for me is the ability to set the anchor point position (manually or automatically for center, borders and corners), including for several sprites at the same time. Moreover, TexturePacker is especially slow when changing the anchor point fo several sprites at the same time, I think you can do better
By the way, I just briefly tested the latest release (windows 64bits), and the polygon algorithm seems to not work with multipacking.
Good luck with this project!
Thank you very much!This project will be always open source.The packer is suitable for the majority of engines, it is only enough to add an export format (there is an opportunity)
it is possible to add in a tree of files of sprites the second column - tags which will replace {n} in a name of a spritesheet
I didn't even know about such functionality always the anchor points exposed in a game (if it is necessary) as need for it for me was rare
thanks for testing, you could describe more in detail at what settings and what the sprites didn't work for you?
awesome work!!

Enormous pub near Gants Hill Station, and I mean really enormous. The sofa area alone - twelve spacious and comfortable two-seaters - is bigger than many pubs, and there are at least three other areas of similar size.
No real ale. John Smiths was £1.10/half and Strongbow was £1.45/half.
Kake and friend visited on a Friday lunchtime; it was pretty much empty and most of the handful of customers were in for food. The bar staff seemed slightly nervous for some reason.
We tried the burgers - £5.75 each, including chips, with a choice of beef, chicken, or spicy bean burgers. The chips were OK, nothing special, and the spicy bean burger was a pre-made breadcrumbed thing. It was all competently prepared, though.
Other menu options include sandwiches, which are priced between £4.05 (e.g. tuna mayo) and £5.40 (steak and onion). Main courses are based around the usual pub staples. Notably, they have a "two main courses for £9" deal, which apparently applies even to the barbecue chicken melt, which is normally £9.55. The cheapest main is sausages and mash (£7.05) and the most expensive is rack of ribs (£10.55, and the only exclusion from the £9 deal).
Karaoke on Wednesdays, and live bands (see gig list and photos) on Saturdays - apparently gets packed out both nights.
Kake's verdict: I don't think I'd like it here in the evening, and it doesn't really feel like a pub for people who like pubs, but if you have to be in the area anyway then it seems a good enough meeting point. Shame about the lack of interesting drinks, but I think they serve tea and coffee, and the sofas were great, so it might be a decent place to kill some time if for some reason you have some to kill in Gants Hill.

You could call it oxytocin flooding the brain. You could refer to it as dopamine doing its work. But that does not sound anywhere near as attractive as calling it 'love'. She is perfect. You want him forever and forever. Every song you hear was written just for the two of you. No. A few chemicals in your brain could not make you totally lose your sanity even if that is what the very well researched science tells us. Better to trust Rogers and Hammerstein.
