everything posted looked ok... i don't see anything that jumps out in your 
snort.conf, either... you ran snort for just over 2 minutes (129.124889 seconds) 
and processed 310 packets... it is possible that there was no TCP packets during 
that time...

try this...

1. edit local-test.rules
2. comment out the two UDP rules
3. save and exit
4. edit snort.conf
5. enable local-test.rules
6. save and exit
7. restart snort

now generate some TCP traffic... browsing to a web site should work...

does that TCP traffic show up now?

don't forget to edit your snort.conf to disable local-test.rules when you finish 
running each set of tests... you really don't want snort to be grabbing 
everything... the logs can get monstrously huge ;)
