1. Field of the Invention
Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to networks and, more particularly, to storing data collected for a network.
2. Description of the Related Art
Network management systems (NMS) often collect, store, process and report on performance and historical data over time for various devices in a network. In a network with hundreds or thousands of devices, the number of data objects results to collect can easily reach into the 100's of thousands. Thus, one challenge for an NMS is to store a large amount of object results collected every poll interval. For example, if the NMS polled 100,000 objects every 5 minutes and stored the result of each object, the NMS would have to store 28,800,000 records each day, placing a load on NMS resources (e.g., CPU and disk), as well as increasing input/output wait times.
One approach to overcoming the problem of storing such vast amounts of object results involves limiting the polling frequency. Another approach involves implementing dependant complex logic into the polling applications. However, both of these approaches put restrictions on the types of data that may be collected and stored within the NMS, which may result in delayed responses and gaps in the data collected.
As the foregoing illustrates, what is needed in the art is an improved technique for storing data collected from devices in a network.
So that the manner in which the above recited features of the present invention can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
Embodiments of the present invention allow for efficient storage of data (e.g., network performance and historical data) periodically collected from multiple devices in a network. The amount of data stored may be reduced by storing only data that has changed since a last poll for data. Only storing data that has changed may significantly reduce the amount of storage required, particularly for data that does not change every poll interval.
For some embodiments, the determination of whether or not data has changed may be efficiently performed during a store operation, for example, when inserting a record into a database. Upon detecting that there has been no change to the data in the record (e.g., by comparing the current value to the last value), the record may be simply discarded. In this fashion, a "data manager" of the NMS may only add new records to the DB table when the values collected from the objects in the network change, which significantly reduces the total number of records stored. As a result, database size, CPU, and disk utilization may all be reduced.
For some embodiments, a uniform data structure (e.g., database table) may be utilized that allows for the efficient storage of data of a wide variety of types. In such a data structure, string data may be converted to numeric data, allowing the same change detection algorithm to be applied to different types of data. In this manner, the current values and the delta values are stored in the DB table in a numeric form, independent on the type of data collected from the objects.
The NMS 110 may be configured to collect and store data including a number of parameters for each of the network devices 122. The NMS 110 includes, without limitation, a database 112 and a data manager 114. The data manager 114 may be configured to perform a number of the operations described herein (e.g., collect data from the various network devices 122, process the data, and store the results in a database table within the database 112). While the following description will refer to storing collected data in a database, those skilled in the art will recognize that the other types of data structures, such as linked arrays may also be used to store collected data. The techniques described herein may be applied to limit the amount of data stored, regardless of the particular type of data structure used to store the data.
The data manager 114 may further be configured to display current and historical information related to the network performance. The data manager 114 may have a graphical user interface (GUI), not shown in
The operations 200 begin, at step 202, where the data manager 114 generates and initializes a database table. The database table may be stored in the database 112.
As illustrated, for each data object collected, the DB table 300 may include a device ID field 310, name 312, and type 314. The device ID may be a unique identifier of the network device from which the data was collected (e.g., a router GUID), while the name and type may specify the type of data collected (e.g., a port name FastEthernet0/0 and a corresponding parameter, such as SNMP OID, RTT, or jitter).
As illustrated in
Each of the collected parameters may be related to a variety of different types of data, such as a counter, gauge, or a string. For each of the objects, the data type specified in the field TYPE 307 may determine how that data is stored. For example, for some embodiments, counter and gauge data types may be stored as numeric values in a Numeric Value field 308.
String data types, on the other hand, may be stored in a String Value field 305. Examples of string data may include configuration data (including operating system versions) retrieved for a router, command line history, access control lists (ACLs) and the like. To maintain uniformity in detecting changes to data, however, the string data may be converted into a numeric form (such as a CRC or other type of checksum) and stored in Numeric Value field 316.
For some large strings, only hash values of those strings may be stored in the String Value field of the DB table. A CRC may be then be calculated on the hash value and stored in the Numeric Value field, with a change in CRC indicating a change in hash value. In this manner, lengthy strings may only be retrieved and stored when necessary (e.g., when triggering an alarm when an ACL or other type router configuration has changed).
After the database is setup, data is collected from the network at step 204. For some embodiments, data may be collected periodically within a specified poll interval. Data for multiple parameters may be collected every poll interval (with a wait period 216 between polls), while data for other parameters may be collected more or less frequently, for example, depending on how often it is likely to change.
Starting at step 206, for each of the data object polled, the data manager may begin to process the data. If an object is string data (as determined at step 208), a CRC may be computed for the string data, at step 209, as described above. If, in step 208, the data manager 114 determines that the current value is not a character string, the method proceeds to step 210.
At step 210, a determination is made as to whether the data has changed since a last poll, for example, by comparing the last value (obtained in a last poll) to the current value (obtained in the current poll). The difference between the last and current value indicates a change. For numeric data types, this "changed value" may actually indicate the amount of change. For string data types, the changed value, if generated as a comparison of checksums, provides a qualitative indication of change which may help decide whether to obtain a rather lengthy actual string value.
For some embodiments, a value indicating how much a polled parameter has changed over a poll interval, referred to herein as a "delta value" may be stored in a record created when data has changed. As will be described in greater detail below, the delta value may allow for the reverse calculation of a previously polled data value, without requiring access to the record containing that value. The delta value may be calculated based on the changed value and the change in time between obtaining the current value and the last value, according to the following formula:
delta_value = (<current numeric_value> − < last numeric_value>) / (<current timestamp> − <last timestamp>)
The change in time between polls, referred to herein as "delta seconds," for the current and last numeric value is calculated by subtracting the corresponding timestamps for those polls.
Storing the delta value and delta seconds in a record may facilitate reporting functions. For example, the changed value (relative to a previously polled value) may be calculated even without the previous record by multiplying the delta value by the delta seconds. The previous value may then be calculated by subtracting the changed value from the current numeric value in the current record.
While storing the delta value and delta seconds may facilitate reporting in some case, for some embodiments, the changed value and delta seconds may be stored, allowing the delta value to be derived for later reporting. This amounts in a shift in processing away from the storage systems to the reporting systems. Having the delta value calculated and stored benefits the reporting system so that a value-type counter may be extracted without special calculations.
For some embodiments, the determination of whether or not the data has changed may be performed as part of a store (e.g., DB insert) operation. For example, such operations may include program instructions that compute the delta value and the delta seconds during the insert or use a built-in database INSERT trigger to update the fields DV 304 and DS 306 on insert. Example code for an insert trigger based on a detected change in data is listed below:
# Below are variable fields used within this trigger procedure
declare last_val bigint (20) default 0;
declare delta_secs int (10) default 0;
declare changed_val int (10) default 0;
# Below retrieves last record numeric value of same device_id, name, and type
# It also computes the delta seconds from the current record to the last record
select value,timestampdiff (second, timestamp, current_timestamp)
into last_val, delta_secs
from perf_data where device_id = new.device_id and
name = new.name and type = new.type
order by timestamp desc limit 1;
# Below computes the "changed value" and stores in variable changed_val
set changed_val = new.value − last_val;
# Check if we should discard or store changed value, zero means discard
IF changed_val = 0 THEN
# Setting new record columns to NULL causes database to discard record
set new.device_id = NULL;
set new.name = NULL;
set new.type = NULL;
# Below stores the delta seconds value in the
# new record column to be inserted
set new.delta_secs = delta_secs;
# Below IF statement checks if seconds is zero or not.
# Normally this should always be a positive number, but to be safe
# we do not want to divide by zero, which would be invalid.
# Therefore, if the "delta_secs" is not zero, compute the actual
# delta value by using the formula "<changed value> / <time difference>"
IF delta_secs > 0 THEN
set new.delta = changed_val / delta_secs;
set new.delta = changed_val;
The code illustrated above for triggering storage of a new record updates the delta value to the value difference from the last value to the current value within the time difference in delta seconds. If the current value is the same as the last value, then the difference is zero and, thus, the current value should be discarded since the current value has not changed. Setting the NULL entries in the record automatically causes discarding of the record when the new record has not changed from the last record.
If the data has not changed, the current value is discarded, at step 212, thus saving the storage and corresponding processing overhead that would have been consumed by unnecessarily storing unchanged data.
If the data has changed, however, a record containing the changed data is stored, at step 214. As illustrated in
As illustrated, a delta seconds field 306 may also be stored with the record. The delta seconds field may be calculated as a difference between the timestamps of the current poll and a previous poll. Storing the delta seconds along with the delta value and current value allows for the derivation (reverse calculation) of numeric values from a previous record, even without the previous record. The following formula may be used to derive the numeric value from a previous record:
<derived previous numeric value>=<current numeric value>−(<delta value>* <delta_seconds>).
Table I illustrates how previous numeric values (from previous records) may
TABLE I Example Derived Previous Values (10 s sample intervals) Current Value Changed Value Delta Value Derived Previous Value 100 100 10.000000 0 150 50 5.000000 100 50 −100 −10.000000 150 100 50 5.000000 50 200 100 10.000000 100 230 30 3.000000 200 500 270 27.000000 230
be derived from values stored in current records. The example assumes a poll interval of 10s. As illustrated, a numeric value of zero from a previous record (not listed in the table) is derived from the equation above using a current value of 100, delta value of 10 and delta seconds value of 10:
<derived previous numeric value>=100−(10*10)=0
As illustrated, the numeric values of previous records are accurately derived using the values from current records in the list.
As reflected in the table 300, this corresponds to the last value added to field numeric value field. At the end of the next current poll interval, the current value of processor utilization is still 20%. Therefore, since the changed value is zero, no record is made for that poll interval. However, as shown in
At the end of the next poll interval, the current value of processor utilization changes to 25%. Therefore, the changed value is 5 and a record with the current value, delta value, and delta seconds is stored. Similar changes occur in subsequent polls, with the CPU utilization remaining constant at 40 for three poll intervals (15 minutes), before changing to 35 (changed value=−5, delta value=−0.0056, delta seconds=900).
As illustrated, in some cases, a timestamp may reset (e.g., roll over) periodically after reaching a maximum counter value (as shown at 420 between the second and third to last poll intervals). However, utilizing the delta seconds value to track the time between polls for records, the resetting of the raw timestamp value may have no adverse effect on reporting.
As illustrated in
Further, conventional reporting or network alarms may be triggered, for example, when detecting a change in a configuration string for a device is detected. By detecting changes based on numeric values stored only when changed, such as a checksum calculated for a string (or a checksum calculated on a hash of the string), the need to collect and store lengthy strings may be avoided. For diagnostic purposes, full strings may be collected only when a change is detected.
While the foregoing is directed to embodiments of the present invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof, and the scope thereof is determined by the claims that follow.

ATLANTA -- An ex-girlfriend of Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall told a jury on Thursday that the player shoved her, threw her around and gave her a bloody lip after she received a text message from a male friend.
Marshall was on trial for a misdemeanor battery charge in the March 4, 2008, dispute with Rasheedah Watley at the Atlanta condominium they shared. Marshall was suspended for last year's season opener after a series of domestic conflicts. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said a conviction in this case could lead to a second suspension.
Prosecutor Robert Bembridge opened by saying evidence would show Marshall "did use his hands for all the wrong reasons" on a woman he outweighs by more than 100 pounds.
Defense lawyer Harvey Steinberg characterized Watley as an aggressive woman who was afraid her relationship with Marshall was ending and saw it as a "lottery ticket that was going to be lost."
Watley told a jury of four women and two men that Marshall shoved her into furniture in the condo's living room, carried her over his shoulder into the bedroom, threw her on the bed more than once and hit her in the lip.
Her two younger sisters arrived soon after receiving calls from a jealous Marshall trying to figure out who gave Watley's number to the friend, Watley said. They feared for their sister because the couple had a history of violent fights, she added.
Watley's sisters, Adilah and Alliyah, testified that Marshall physically intimidated them when they arrived.
A police officer testified that he came upon Marshall outside the condo with a bloody hand and Watley inside, looking "extremely disheveled" with a bloody lip.
Steinberg showed the jury photos of a bite mark on Marshall's back and a photo of his eye that was scratched after Watley poked him. Watley acknowledged biting and scratching Marshall, but said she did it to get away from him.
Steinberg also said Watley is motivated by money and had a lawyer send a letter asking Marshall for $500,000 to make the matter go away quietly. Watley said she's not seeking money and that her lawyer sent the letter without her knowledge and she fired him as a result.
It's not the first time Marshall had faced domestic violence charges involving Watley. Previously, Marshall was arrested after Watley said he used his vehicle to block her taxi as she tried to leave after an argument at his home in Highlands Ranch, Colo., in March 2007. The case was dismissed.
He pleaded guilty last September to driving while ability-impaired and was sentenced to a year of probation. He was originally charged with driving under the influence after an October 2007 arrest.
Marshall, recuperating from hip surgery last spring, has asked to be traded from the Broncos.

- Requiem, for chorus
Carl Rütti: Requiemby David Hill
Swiss composer Carl Rütti has made a specialty of choral and liturgical music, and his work has been performed extensively by British ensembles like the BBC Singers, Cambridge Voices, and the Bach Choir, which commissioned and here performs his 2007 "Requiem," scored for soprano, baritone, double choir, strings, and organ. Rütti's "Requiem" reflects his close connection with the British choral tradition without sounding derivative of any particular composer. He is an eclectic, and it is possible to detect his familiarity with Britten, as well the harmonic and melodic world of John Rutter (although his work is more sophisticated than Rutter's), and there's a hint of Arvo Pärt's austerity in some of the quieter moments, and in Rütti's unashamed use of pure consonance. While the "Requiem" essentially holds together, the stylistic differences between movements, some as simple as folk song, and some of considerable harmonic and rhythmic complexity, keep the piece from sounding like the work of a composer who has developed a fully integrated voice. Almost all of the movements have strengths, though, and moments of genuine loveliness. The swirling mystery of the Sanctus is especially memorable, and the extended use of an unaccompanied solo soprano to open and close the piece is spectacularly effective. Only the pop-sounding In Paradisium seems like a miscalculation. Olivia Robinson sings with great purity and smoothness, but baritone Edward Price tends to sound strained. David Hill leads the Bach Choir and Southern Sinfonia in a polished and fervent performance. The sound is good when the textures are spare, but gets crowded when the full forces are at a high volume.

The Bach Choir, based in London England, is one of the world's leading choruses. Led by Musical Director David Hill, the choir regularly performs throughout England. The choir has a rather extensive recording history and in 2007 commissioned a new work by noted Swiss composer, Carl Rutti. The result is Requiem, a piece for Soprano, Baritone and chorus recorded on the Naxos label. Along with the Bach Choir, the recording features Southern Sinfonia, Olivia Robinson - Soprano, Edward Price - Baritone and Jane Watts - Organ. The recording is intensely moving from the opening of Introitus to the ending of In Paradisum. The choir is simply superb. Their intonation and interpretation of the music is consistently high throughout the recording. The soloists sing with great beauty and are equal to the task of bringing the texts to life. The overall tonality of the piece might be a little jarring to the ear at first. However, the beauty and richness of the music, combined with the stellar performances of the orchestra, choir and soloists, will certainly make you want to listen to the cd multiple times.

- What is it in WPF and Silverlight that makes MVVM suit them so well?
- What is it in C++, or what does C++ lack, that makes MVVM and C++ never be mentioned together?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
What is it in MVVM that makes it particularly appealing for managed WPF and Silverlight but not native C++?
MVVM (Model - View - ViewModel) is an adaptation of the MVP (Model -View - Presenter) or MVC (Model - View - Controller) patterns, both of which are very popular design patterns for C++ applications. The main changes to the design pattern are to better support WPF and Silverlight so it isn't so much that WPF suits MVVM, more that MVVM suits WPF.
Primarily the changes revolve around cleanly supporting the binding and command architecture present in the XAML technologies through use of
It's nothing really to do with C++, or any language per se, it's more down to the fact that it only makes sense in a WPF/Silverlight context.
The only thing that MVVM brings to the table that other view/logic separation patterns do not is WPF/Silverlight commands/binding. The main reason for using MVVM is to leverage the powerful binding system built into WPF/Silverlight, it just doesn't makes sense to talk about it in different contexts, unless they have a similar model.
i think MVVM was designed specifically to support WPF. It looks like microsoft specifically developed the pattern to support the kind of Developer/Designer workflows they envisioned for WPF/Silverlight.
So the reason you probably don't hear about it too much outside of the WPF/Silverlight/XAML world is two fold.
In one word:

Helios, ( Greek: "Sun") in Greek religion, the sun god. He drove a chariot daily from east to west across the sky and sailed around the northerly stream of Ocean each night in a huge cup. In classical Greece, Helios was especially worshipped in Rhodes, where from at least the early 5th century bc he was regarded as the chief god, to whom the island belonged. His worship spread as he became increasingly identified with other deities, often under Eastern influence. From the 5th century bc, Apollo, originally a deity of radiant purity, was more and more interpreted as a sun god. Under the Roman Empire the sun itself came to be worshipped as the Unconquered Sun.

Also in 1895 Rontgen discovered X-Rays.
In 1905 a young man no one had heard of published three articles in one issue of the most promient journal of Physics. The first would have gained him an honorable mention in the chemistry texts of today. The second would get him a Nobel prize, and become the foundation of what we now know of as television. The third article was the theory of relativity.
Forty years later Paul Tibbets, piloting the 'Enola Gay' dropped the 'Little Boy' atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
This book is the story of those fifty years. It's a fascinating story of people with genius level minds making new breakthroughs in physics nearly every year. It is also a story of people, of Lise Meitner making a magnificant discovery but having it ignored because she was female.
Those fifty years transformed the world of physics from a backwater of levers and pulleys into the queen of all the sciences.
Preston is adept at describing the technical issues so that even a casual reader can understand how the different experiments and theories contributed to advances. And she is adept at describing personality issues: ". . . Groves had also alienated Ernest Lawrence . . . he warned the Nobel prize winner that he had better do a good job since his reputation depended on it. Lawrence replied, "My reputation is already made. It is yours that depends on the outcome of the Manhattan project." "
The artwork by van der Goes, The Fall, hints at the origin of the title and is used to create an intriguing dust jacket for the hardcover edition.
"Before the Fallout" is well worth reading for anyone interested in the question of how we went from a world of gun powder and swords to nuclear weapons in a mere half-century.
I have had the pleasure to meet Diana Preston and hear her speak at the Los Angeles Times Book Fair. She is a regular attendee. I have read all but her first book and have felt her "Lusitania" her greatest achievement but this, her newest, is just as wonderful.
The book is well organized and has many characters that you find easy to follow via each mini biography throughout the narrative. The book ends with really two epilogues. (I do like a good epilog too.) The first tells what happened to each participant after WWII and the last is a "what if" analysis this is most interesting as it puts many of the events in the book into a broad context and points out the individual difference each scientist made. I just loved Preston's comment at the end of the book... "History....even the history of science... is inherently about people, how they thought, what they did with their thoughts, and how they interacted with the individuals immediately around them and then with society and the greater world order. All involved in this story....regardless of race, sex. creed, age, or intellectual ability...Read more ›
I enjoy reading biographies, books on science, history, WWII, and many other subjects but this book hit those four mentioned at the same time. The book was crafted in such a way to keep the pace flowing and at times seem pressing as if I didn't know what would happen by the end of the book even though we all know how things ended at Hiroshima. For the scientists involved Preston almost presents mini-biographies for them as she explains their scientific work and its contribution to the progression of nuclear weapons. She also succeeds at putting a human face on many of the scientists in this book. She presents the material and scientists in such a light that you can almost feel the weight of their decisions when trying to decide whether to build a bomb or not.
She presents many stories and moral dilemmas through the book that will make you question your own thoughts on how the use of the atomic bombs were handled. She also presents the "what-if" scenarios that show how close the history of the atom bomb came to being completely different on many different occasions.
After reading this book I'm still not sure how I feel about the dropping of the atom bombs but I do know that I now know much more than before.

Commercial Property/New Jersey; Building for High-Tech Tenants in the Meadowlands
By RACHELLE GARBARINE
Published: June 4, 2000
HOPING to capitalize on the expansion of technology companies, a small group of developers in the Hackensack Meadowlands are constructing buildings or converting warehouses for new-economy tenants.
For decades low-slung warehouses, mostly manufacturers' distribution centers, have dominated the Meadlowlands, a 32-square-mile region that stretches through 14 communities in Bergen and Hudson Counties. But with dot-com companies and Internet service providers pushing into areas like the garment district in Manhattan and the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City, the Meadowlands offers an alternative, commercial brokers said. The draws are its proximity to transportation, access to fiber optics and lower rents.
''The shift is real,'' said Richard Fritzsky, the president of the Meadowlands Chamber of Commerce.
Frank Lopriore, a managing director in the Saddle Brook office of Insignia/ESG, the national commercial brokerage company, said, ''The issue is that there is a demand but no inventory.''
Some developers, like Penhorn Construction of Secaucus, are responding by putting up high-tech flex buildings, as they are called, because they can be used for offices or for distribution or assembly operations. The company recently completed and leased two buildings totaling 100,000 square feet on Penhorn Avenue in Secaucus, drawing e-commerce companies as tenants. Now it is advancing plans for two more buildings.
And on Meadowlands Parkway at Castle Road in Secaucus, M. Rappaport Real Estate of Englewood Cliffs recently completed leasing a 145,000-square-foot building. It had rebuilt 55,000 square feet of office space there and turned the remaining 90,000 square feet of retail space into office space for high-tech tenants. The company is selling 10 acres nearby, also on Meadowlands Parkway, to Hudson Development L.L.C. of Brooklyn, which is planning a high-tech building as big as 225,000 square feet to appeal to similar tenants.
Meanwhile, Whitehall Industrial Properties of Edison bought a 170,000-square-foot industrial building in Carlstadt last month and plans to reconfigure it into smaller spaces for technology companies. Young Woo & Associates of Manhattan is buying a 200,000-square-foot warehouse, also in Carlstadt, and plans to turn it into a telecommunications center, a so-called ''telco hotel,'' with a number of technology and telecommunications tenants under one roof.
Such businesses, including companies that provide Internet data centers, which manage Internet sites for businesses, are scouring the Meadowlands for space. Last month, Gift Certificate.com of Manhattan leased a 100,000-square-foot warehouse in Carlstadt and plans to transform it into an order-fulfillment center. In February, Webvan Inc., an Internet grocer, leased a 348,885-square-foot warehouse in North Bergen from Hartz Mountain Industries of Secaucus, among the largest property owners in the Meadowlands. It plans to use the warehouse as a distribution center.
Tenants requiring over 500,000 square feet of space are still in the market, said Jonathan S. Meisel, an associate director at the East Rutherford office of Cushman & Wakefield, the national brokerage company. ''We see the Meadowlands as the next hotbed of activity for Web-centric businesses,'' he said.
From 1994 to 1999 the number of high-tech jobs, including telecommunications and computer software development and related services, grew in New Jersey by 59,000 to 295,0000 jobs, according to state figures. A report released last month by Nasdaq and the American Electronics Association ranked New Jersey seventh in the nation in the number of such jobs.
While the presence of high-tech operations in the Meadowlands is growing, such companies are not completely new to the area. Mr. Fritzsky of the Chamber of Commerce said that over a decade ago Ernst & Young and Salomon Smith Barney set up data centers in the Meadowlands.
COMDISCO, an international technology management company based in Rosemont, Ill., is consolidating four operations in the region into a 302,000-square-foot building under way on Central Boulevard in Carlstadt. Next door, Chase Manhattan Bank is developing a 176,000 square-foot check-processing operation
Brokers say the presence of such tenants is one of the reasons the Meadowlands will appeal to high-tech companies. In addition, it is close to Newark and Teterboro airports and to Manhattan, where many clients have offices, Mr. Lopriore of Insignia/ESG said. And, he added, the tight commercial market in Manhattan is pushing companies to seek space elsewhere, and one of those places is the Meadowlands.
The Meadowlands will also be more accessible once transportation improvements are made. Construction is under way on the $448 million Secaucus Transfer rail station, which will link several rail lines to provide direct train service to Manhattan from Bergen and Passaic Counties. The project, which will allow employees to commute more easily from New York City, is to be completed by 2002.

# US gold output # USGS # Nevada gold # private gold
U.S. gold exports to Hong Kong has been steadily increasing in the past several years as wealthy Asian individuals looked to diversify their portfolios into gold.
WASHINGTON(BullionStreet): Asia accounted for a major part of the 20 tons gold exported from the US, highest total and the biggest month-on-month jump in U.S. private gold exports since September 2011.
According to US Commerce Department gold exports played an important role in narrowing the shrinking trade deficit during the month of December.
Country's exports of non monetary gold, which excludes central bank transactions, soared by 43 percent to $4 billion in December from the previous month.
Hong Kong accounted for around $2 billion, or half of the non monetary gold exports for the month.
U.S. gold exports to Hong Kong has been steadily increasing in the past several years as wealthy Asian individuals looked to diversify their portfolios into gold.
Analysts however said even larger amount of monetary gold leaves the U.S. every month as part of a gold leasing program related to the nation's official gold reserves of 8,134 tonnes.

Reviewing all the SWC stories must've been a lot of work. I def appreciate it.
Not sure where the grammar error you pointed out is, actually...is it from the older version I sent you? (I know that had some embarrassing mistakes, haha).
Yeah, I was afraid the battles might've dragged on a bit (though I was actually most worried about Sammy's battle in that regard - any thoughts on that?). I can see how Bruiser's battle would've been gotten rather monotonous since she tends to use the same attacks over and over (guess who forgot Bayleef had vine whips
). Do you think it would help to mix up the attacks a bit more?
As to the ending, here is an explanation:
Short version:
The humans at the end aren't real. They're illusions created by the Ninetales and Vulpix.
tl;dr version:
The episode "Just Waiting on a Friend" had a Ninetales that created an "illusionary" human via psychic powers. I extrapolated the same power to the Ninetales and Vulpix in this story.
Basically, the blonde trainer girl (Makoto) is an illusion created by the Ninetales (Kin), while the boy who was talking to Red is an illusion created by the Vulpix (Gin). This is why Makoto can understand Pokemon (if you look before, she appears to understand what the Pikachu is saying at several points).
So these illusionary humans can pose as trainers. This not only allows the Ninetales and Vulpix to avoid getting captured by other trainers, but also to take in the "leftovers," i.e. fellow Pokemon who would not be accepted/used by normal trainers, and give them a chance to battle. You might guess that the Ninetales would be sympathetic to these "leftover" Pokemon, as she's blind herself.
Hm, when I read it I thought Sammy's battle wasn't that drag out like Bruiser's, but I guess Sammy's can be a little faster. Been busy lately, but I can read over the battles again when I have some free time and maybe give a couple pointers on how to make them faster if you want. Still love the way you did Sammy's thoughts, though. And as for mixing up attacks, yeah that would be a good idea. You can always look at Serebii, Bulbapedia, Veekun, and other Pokemon websites that have info on the different attacks the Pokemon can use (level up, TMs, move tutors, egg moves, etc.)
And okay, I get the ending better now. I do know what happened at at episode, but a bit confused how what happen in that episode relates to this story.

Mike Detillier's Football World: Nicholls State landed gem in Shilstone
Published: Sunday, February 11, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 10, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
The sports training and enhancement field has blossomed in south Louisiana by leaps and bounds over the past few years. Three fitness gurus (Kurt Hester, Tom Shaw and Mackie Shilstone) have put the Pelican State on the map in the field of sports training and within the past year, the three fitness experts have trained over 250 of the nation's top athletes. Recently, Nicholls State University landed unquestionably the top sports performance expert in America when they came to an agreement with Shilstone to help add a different chapter in the Nicholls State sports medicine program.
Adding Mackie Shilstone to the Nicholls State faculty is equivalent to having Elton John teach music or like having Bill Gates lecture on computer science.
At 5-foot-8, 140 pounds, Shilstone is a "giant" in the business of physical fitness and he has trained over 1,000 professional athletes in the 25 years he has been in the business.
Shilstone's expertise on performance management has played a pivotal role in the success and longevity of million-dollar world-class athletes across the nation.
Included among those athletes are heavyweight champions Michael Spinks and Riddick Bowe, baseball greats Will Clark and Ozzie Smith and Olympic world record holder in the 400-meter dash, Butch Reynolds. Shilstone has also worked with basketball stars Donyell Marshall, Marcus Camby and Jonathan Bender. He has also trained Buffalo Bills wide receiver Eric Moulds, Atlanta Falcons place-kicker Morten Anderson, New England Patriots safety Lawyer Milloy , former Nicholls State All-American defensive back Darryl Pounds, Minnesota Vikings punter Mitch Berger and New York Giants 16-year veteran offensive tackle Lomas Brown.
Shilstone has worked with the St. Louis Blues hockey squad and he was recently contracted by major league baseball to condition all of their umpires.
In a recent edition of Pro Magazine, Shilstone's training and fitness sessions were ranked as one of the top four in the country and regarded as the most comprehensive of any in North America. KO magazine voted Shilstone among the top 50 most influential people in boxing throughout history due to his extensive work with professional boxers.
Needless to say, Nicholls has landed one of the elite people in his field and the native New Orleanian is looking forward to working with and teaching the sports medicine to students.
"I am really excited about the opportunity to teach "on hand" the young students and future professionals in this field," Shilstone said. "What I really like about this is that they will not be just getting classroom time, but they are getting training one-on-one with our staff at Elmwood Fitness Clinic. Classroom training is very important, but you must apply what you have been taught in class with on hand training and that's what we will be offering the interns at Nicholls State. It's an 11-step program, comprehensive in nature and one that will be based on proper health care, rehabilitation, internal medicine and prolonging the careers of professional athletes. I am thrilled to be a part of the new sports medicine program at Nicholls State."
Athletic training science will be aimed at students who aspire to be personal fitness trainers or weight-trainers.
The students who choose the sports science degree will learn ways to prevent, treat and rehabilitate sports-related injuries. The health and fitness program will also teach cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation, ergonomics and physical examinations.
Nicholls is hoping to become the first school in the state to have an accredited athletic training program. Beginning in
January of 2004, it will be required that anyone who would like to take the National Trainer's Examination be a graduate of an accredited school.
The idea to pursue the services of Shilstone originated from Health and Science Program Director, Dotty McDonald.
"I knew Mackie was a very busy man with a great reputation for results in his field, but I thought I would at least pursue the issue and see what would happen," McDonald said. "He really was excited almost from the start for the opportunity to join our staff and I was just overwhelmed with just how vibrant he was and his enthusiasm for his work is infectious."
"Mackie has great energy and he will offer our students a well-rounded program and the opportunity to pursue the three areas that we are offering in sports training, health and wellness and athletic training. Mackie, along with our Coordinator of Athletic Training, Gerard White, and Dennis Guillot, our Coordinator of the Health and Wellness and Sports Sciences, will give us the complete package as far as sports medicine is concerned."
Dr. Alice Pecoraro, the vice president of academic affairs for Nicholls, says that the addition of Shilstone to the faculty should be a catalyst to attract students in this field.
"Mackie Shilstone has a great reputation for results and we are very excited at the opportunity to enhance our health sciences and sports medicine program. I believe any time you start something new, you would like to have someone with not only his name recognition, but even more importantly his reputation for results and his attention to detail. This will put a new concentration on the sports medicine field and the focus studies that it does entail. This internship work will be terrific for our students and give them the practical knowledge that it takes to excel in this field. Mackie and his staff will be doing their teaching sessions at Elmwood Fitness Center, but we hope to get him on campus for lectures on the sports medicine field."
While Shilstone won't be involved with teaching until the fall of this year, he is now totally focused on training many of the world's top athletes and getting a host of top ranked college football players ready for the NFL combine workouts on Feb. 22-26 in Indianapolis.
Shilstone currently is working with a number of top college players like UTEP All-American tight end Brian Natkin, Vanderbilt All-SEC middle linebacker Jamie Winborn, All Big-12 defensive tackle Mario Fatafehi, Kentucky safety Marlon McCree, Florida State offensive tackle Tarlos Thomas, Louisiana Tech wide receiver James Jordan, Arkansas wide receiver Edward "Boo" Williams and Vanderbilt cornerback Jimmy Williams.
"This sort of training for the combine and the individual workouts have really blossomed throughout the past few years. Every NFL team wants to take a good long look at the athletic abilities of these college players, especially when you consider the type of money that is involved in pro sports today," Shilstone said. "We are trying to get the athlete in the best physical shape possible, without overtraining him. Sometimes you will see this happen that an athlete is just tired and he doesn't perform as well as expected because of over-training. Our staff just doesn't train him for the athletic part of the individual workout, but also the physiological tests and the Wonderlic, intelligence test."
Shilstone is also working with a young prospect that everyone in pro football is extremely interested in. University of Minnesota cornerback Willie Middlebrooks gave up his senior year of college football to turn pro early, but he did this despite missing almost a quarter of the 2000 season due to a broken ankle. Middlebrooks (6-1, 195) was timed in the 40-yard dash in under 4.30 seconds before suffering the break and Mackie has a history with the potentially very high draft choice.
"Last year, Willie Middlebrooks had problems with a pulled hamstring and the University of Minnesota got in contact with me to help rehab his injury. I think this is probably the first time a university has called an outside source to help rehabilitate an underclassman. He got over the hamstring injury and had no problem with any injuries until he broke his ankle. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, calls me and says that he has a player that he thinks I could really help out and it was Willie Middlebrooks. He didn't even know that I had worked with Willie last spring. Willie is rehabbing extremely well from the break, and to tell you the truth, we have plans to start running him on the ankle this week. He has a great NFL future and you just don't find that many cornerbacks in this league with his combination of size and speed," Shilstone said.
Shilstone also said that he will be looking for the same ingredients in his students that he looks for in athletes..
"In my opinion, the difference in professional sports between the really good players and the average player is passion for the game. The great players have a passion for what they do. They have total focus on their duties and responsibilities and they want to be the most accurate passer, the most accurate receiver, the most accurate pass defender. That's what I am looking for in an athlete and I think that is what I would look for in an employee or a student. I want someone with a passion for work and someone who just doesn't want to be accurate, but insists and works on being accurate. It's not always the biggest or the fastest players that excel in sports, but in most cases it's the most accurate and the passionate players in that field. That same philosophy holds true in the work place," said Shilstone.
As far as Nicholls, it has just landed the Michael Jordan of sports training and performance management.
Mike Detillier is an NFL analyst based in Raceland.
