Subject: First china, now russia?

I've been getting scanned quite frequently from china (I basically have the
entire country blackholed now).  Now they are coming from russia.  The
curious thing is, they are using very interesting destination ports.  Here
take a look:

(clipped)

I understand what some of these ports could have listening on them, but I
haven't seen anything that would run on ports 515,118,224, or 109.  Anyone
have a clue what this idiot could be looking for?  I know port 109 is POP2,
but who still uses pop2??  I also know that 515 is commonly used for the
printer and I could see a potential for a problem there.  But 118 and 224
still have me baffled.
