We've been longtime fans of adding a little ruggedness into the everyday abode. And while there's something to be said for the classic appeal of an old school tanker desk, all workspaces aren't built equally—especially if your home office is literally a corner of your room. When we discovered these extremely affordable and efficient shop desks, we dug their customizability, spartan design and 14-gauge steel construction. It's far more durable than the affordable price suggests and there are options to add power outlets on the side, hidden slots that take care of annoying wires, and a lockable drawer for valuables like laptops. It takes all the throwback appeal of a steel tanker desk, and adds a dose of modern minimalism.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
There are interesting things to be learned from even the simplest queries. For example, imagine you are given the task of writing a query to list AdventureWorks product names where the product has at least one entry in the transaction history table, but fewer than ten.
One possible query to meet that specification is:
FROM Production.Product AS p
JOIN Production.TransactionHistory AS th ON
p.ProductID = th.ProductID
That query correctly returns 23 rows (execution plan and data sample shown below):
The execution plan looks a bit different from the written form of the query: the base tables are accessed in reverse order, and the aggregation is performed before the join. The general idea is to read all rows from the history table, compute the count of rows grouped by ProductID, merge join the results to the Product table on ProductID, and finally filter to only return rows where the count is less than ten.
This 'fully-optimized' plan has an estimated cost of around 0.33 units. The reason for the quote marks there is that this plan is not quite as optimal as it could be – surely it would make sense to push the Filter down past the join too? To answer that, let's look at some other ways to formulate this query. This being SQL, there are any number of ways to write logically-equivalent query specifications, so we'll just look at a couple of interesting ones. The first query is an attempt to reverse-engineer T-SQL from the optimized query plan shown above. It joins the result of pre-aggregating the history table to the Product table before filtering:
SELECT p.Name
cnt = COUNT_BIG(*)
FROM Production.TransactionHistory AS th
) AS q1
JOIN Production.Product AS p
ON p.ProductID = q1.ProductID
q1.cnt < 10;
Perhaps a little surprisingly, we get a slightly different execution plan:
The results are the same (23 rows) but this time the Filter is pushed below the join! The optimizer chooses nested loops for the join, because the cardinality estimate for rows passing the Filter is a bit low (estimate 1 versus 23 actual), though you can force a merge join with a hint and the Filter still appears below the join. In yet another variation, the < 10 predicate can be 'manually pushed' by specifying it in a HAVING clause in the "q1" sub-query instead of in the WHERE clause as written above.
The reason this predicate can be pushed past the join in this query form, but not in the original formulation is simply an optimizer limitation – it does make efforts (primarily during the simplification phase) to encourage logically-equivalent query specifications to produce the same execution plan, but the implementation is not completely comprehensive.
Moving on to a second example, the following query specification results from phrasing the requirement as "list the products where there exists fewer than ten correlated rows in the history table":
WHERE th.ProductID = p.ProductID
Unfortunately, this query produces an incorrect result (86 rows):
The problem is that it lists products with no history rows, though the reasons are interesting. The COUNT_BIG(*) in the EXISTS clause is a scalar aggregate (meaning there is no GROUP BY clause) and scalar aggregates always produce a value, even when the input is an empty set. In the case of the COUNT aggregate, the result of aggregating the empty set is zero (the other standard aggregates produce a NULL). To make the point really clear, let's look at product 709, which happens to be one for which no history rows exist:
-- Scalar aggregate
FROM Production.TransactionHistory AS th
WHERE th.ProductID = 709;
-- Vector aggregate
WHERE th.ProductID = 709
GROUP BY th.ProductID;
The estimated execution plans for these two statements are almost identical:
You might expect the Stream Aggregate to have a Group By for the second statement, but this is not the case. The query includes an equality comparison to a constant value (709), so all qualified rows are guaranteed to have the same value for ProductID and the Group By is optimized away.
In fact there are some minor differences between the two plans (the first is auto-parameterized and qualifies for trivial plan, whereas the second is not auto-parameterized and requires cost-based optimization), but there is nothing to indicate that one is a scalar aggregate and the other is a vector aggregate. This is something I would like to see exposed in show plan so I suggested it on Connect. Anyway, the results of running the two queries show the difference at runtime:
The scalar aggregate (no GROUP BY) returns a result of zero, whereas the vector aggregate (with a GROUP BY clause) returns nothing at all. Returning to our EXISTS query, we could 'fix' it by changing the HAVING clause to reject rows where the scalar aggregate returns zero:
The query now returns the correct 23 rows:
Unfortunately, the execution plan is less efficient now – it has an estimated cost of 0.78 compared to 0.33 for the earlier plans. Let's try adding a redundant GROUP BY instead of changing the HAVING clause:
WHERE th.ProductID = p.ProductID
GROUP BY th.ProductID
Not only do we now get correct results (23 rows), this is the execution plan:
I like to compare that plan to quantum physics: if you don't find it shocking, you haven't understood it properly :) The simple addition of a redundant GROUP BY has resulted in the EXISTS form of the query being transformed into exactly the same optimal plan we found earlier. What's more, in SQL Server 2008 and later, we can replace the odd-looking GROUP BY with an explicit GROUP BY on the empty set:
I offer that as an alternative because some people find it more intuitive (and it perhaps has more geek value too). Whichever way you prefer, it's rather satisfying to note that the result of the sub-query does not exist for a particular correlated value where a vector aggregate is used (the scalar COUNT aggregate always returns a value, even if zero, so it always 'EXISTS' regardless which ProductID is logically being evaluated).
The following query forms also produce the optimal plan and correct results, so long as a vector aggregate is used (you can probably find more equivalent query forms):
FROM Production.TransactionHistory AS th
) < 10;
) AS ca (dummy);
SELECT q1.Name
cnt =
FROM Production.TransactionHistory AS th
WHERE th.ProductID = p.ProductID
FROM Production.Product AS p
) AS q1
This last example uses SUM(1) instead of COUNT and does not require a vector aggregate…you should be able to work out why :)
SELECT q.Name
WHERE th.ProductID = p.ProductID
) AS q
WHERE q.cnt < 10;
The semantics of SQL aggregates are rather odd in places. It definitely pays to get to know the rules, and to be careful to check whether your queries are using scalar or vector aggregates. As we have seen, query plans do not show in which 'mode' an aggregate is running and getting it wrong can cause poor performance, wrong results, or both.

GJ! It was interesting to follow your examples. Dangerous subtle nuance, though I never skip GROUP BY clause.
Nice reading for a Monday morning :)
Talking about fun, I wonder why the cardinality estimate, out from the filter, changes if we use SUM(1) instead COUNT_BIG(*) in the following query.
SELECT th.ProductID
FROM Production.TransactionHistory AS th
GROUP BY th.ProductID
) AS q1
Production.Product AS p
ON p.ProductID = q1.ProductID;
I'm not sure I see what you mean about never skipping the GROUP BY clause. There are certainly times when a scalar aggregate is what is required (counting all the rows in a table for example). There are also times when the scalar semantic is necessary for correct results. It's all about being aware of the differences.
Hi AMB,
With COUNT_BIG(*), cardinality estimation calculates an estimate from (derived) statistics. Substituting SUM(1) results in a guess of 132.3 rows (30% of the estimated 441 rows from the aggregate).
Thanks, Paul!
Paul White,
I never skip GROUP BY clause
- when using HAVING condition - should I write.
Just never had the case when need use HAVING without GROUP BY.
Hi Paul,
I really enjoy reading your post. I think that with Sum(1) the cardinality estimate is calculated as All density for ProductID * No of rows after stream aggregation ,i.e, 0.002267574*441~ 1. Its fine but I wonder why there is difference between count_Big and sum with regard to cardinality estimation. I tried with count(1) but still the same estimations
SELECT th.ProductID,COUNT_big(1),SUM(1)
FROM Production.TransactionHistory AS th
GROUP BY th.ProductID
having count_big(1)<10
Thanks for all your great articles
I enjoyed reading your post, but I think HAVING clause is redundant. As such, it should be eliminated - that would simplify and improve SQL. There would be less things to learn, less chances to shoot ourselves in the foot.
What do you think?
Rishabh K,
Thanks. It's the other way around: the cardinality estimate for COUNT is derived from statistics but SUM(1) results in a 30% guess.
Anyway, the reason for the difference is just that cardinality estimation knows how to predict a value for COUNT, but not for SUM(1), so it guesses.
I suppose cardinality estimation could treat the special case of SUM(1) as COUNT (though they produce different results on empty sets) but it doesn't. More generally, SUM(1) is just a special case of SUM(constant) and there's no sensible way to handle statistics given a comparison on that result.
Finally, COUNT(1) and COUNT(*) are the same. When you write COUNT(1) in a query, the query plan will show the aggregate as count star.
Hi Alex,
Good to hear from you. I'm starting to think I over-emphasised the HAVING examples :) Forgive me if I am misunderstanding you, but this post is not about HAVING - it is about the subtle semantic differences between aggregate queries with and without GROUP BY:
-- Try with the GROUP BY commented and uncommented
-- 23 versus 86 rows
-- No HAVING in sight!
FROM Production.TransactionHistory AS th
WHERE th.ProductID = p.ProductID
--GROUP BY p.ProductID
Anyway, yes I agree HAVING is pure sugar; we can always replace it with a filter over a derived table. Nevertheless, it is standard SQL and hardly likely to be removed, whatever I think about it.
Can you try this variation of solution and provide your valuable inputs by comparing existing solutions?
SELECT p.Name--,rn,cnt
select *
select *, row_number() over (partition by ProductID, cnt order by ProductID, cnt) as rn
cnt = COUNT_BIG(th.ProductID) over (partition by th.ProductID)
FROM Production.TransactionHistory AS th
q1.cnt < 10 -- here , we are interested in mere 10 or less
--above query returns multiple records for each productID , as we are fetching the data from transactional table
and rn=1
-- rn=1 will fetch one row per each product, in a way, we are removing duplicates
) as q1
ON p.ProductID = q1.ProductID

This is a school event, Reck. It's not a job interview. It's not an attempt to win a spot on American Idol. It's just a school event. The main goal is to have fun. And letting people do things that please other classmates that they have crushes on, or close friendships with, is part and parcel of having fun. It still needs to have some structure to it, of course, but where's the harm in letting omelet girl make her omelet rice?
Omelet rice girl's reaction and complaint was perfectly reasonable. Minko is taking this far too seriously.

And Minko? Minko wasn't helping by being so inflexible, so this is a collective fail on both sides of the equation.

It's just that this is such a small thing to risk a flat-out mutiny over, which is what Minko pretty much has on her hands now.

This is not a new thing; I think the show actively goes out of its way to make its characters look bad. It seems to have this obsession with making people behave as irrationally as possible and thus nobody can get along; effectively this is an engineered conflict that is haphazardly welded into the story.
But I will not dismiss it right away; they can cash in easily by just letting Minko compromise in the next episode. Next episode, however, is the make or break point; in my eyes, this is their last chance.

As to some of the other complaints mentioned... well, I've long thought of this as a drama/slice of life hybrid (I might use "soap opera for anime fans" if not for soap opera generally having a very negative connotation), so I've been expecting a number of episodes to focus on fleshing out the people Ohana works with all along. And actually, I've usually been able to see the transitions between drama and SoL coming a few episodes in advance.
(As to one of your later posts, even considering our disagreement over episode 7 and a few others, I wouldn't consider 1-2 and 9-11 the only strong episodes of the show. I thought 12-13 was better than 9-11.)

I have nothing against flawed characters as long as the show pauses for a bit to handle these flaws in a decent manner. My favorite animes are full of mentally unstable characters after all. I don't expect super seriousness either, but eh... it's really not ticking.
Jinomaru's probaly the worst example, since they kinda botched his character to begin with, and there's nothing likable, interesting, or respectable about him, and this kinda trickles down to everyone else.
Is it really too much to ask that people don't act 1/3 their age?

I can't remember a TT reference for weeks until today, and certainly not in this context. To chalk all the (justified, IMO) criticism of this show up to measuring it against TT is pretty inaccurate. Seems to me that most of the criticism HanaIro has received has been on its own merits.
The first thing I thought when this ep was over was that Okada probably hadn't written it, and indeed she didn't. Even if she's ultimately responsible for the overall plot in every episode, there's a pretty clear difference between the eps she writes (like last week) and those she doesn't. The humor is crisper and the interactions less awkward on her episodes, even if - as last week's was - they're basically disposable.

As for the general discussion of episode 19, this was rather infuriating. Once again, every male character in this episode has been portrayed as some kind of idiot, loser, retard etc. Here's some of top of my head:
1. The class president and all the male classmates going gaga for Yuina and Minko in regards to the idea of the "Princess cafe" and even giving them honorifics.
2. The homeroom teacher in the corner drooling and taking a nap, not giving a damn about what's happening (I actually thought this was funny however).
3. Tooru being tsundere about whether or not he's going to the culture festival
4. Ren being over-exaggeratedly startled when Nako mentioned something his eyebrow
5. Jiromaru and his usual silly ero-novel antics
6. Kou in a crossdressing maid-outfit in Ohana's dream (WTF is with this one seriously?)
7. The ""No boys allowed! No peeking either!" "But why? I wanna see! This makes us wanna peek even more" notice (*SIGH* /massive facepalm)
The comedy in this episode was just stupid, exaggerated and of typical anime-fashion used in pretty much 90% of other slice of anime out there. The only male character that I see that actually isn't kinda pathetic is Beanman. It's not a cool story bro.
And the drama with the omlet rice girl. Really? I like drama and all, but the premise for this was rather ridiculous. QQing about not being able to make an omlet rice for a boy you like. Grow some balls (or breasts in your case).
Also, anyone noticing Ohana become more ditzy and airheaded in these last few eps? I'm noticing less and less bulldozer style Ohana which I loved from the first cour of the series. Argh... things are getting worse and worse.
Luckily, at the very least Minko is starting to become a much more likable character these days. Heck, I would say Minko > Ohana these last few eps.

@Gauradian Enzo:
I don't know if your post was directed at me or not, but the reason I (politely) brought up not using TT reference is because in past HanaIro threads when people used it, the admins also warned against it. My motives had nothing to do with being annoyed at criticizing this show by measuring it against TT. While I don't think it's against the rules to say a few things about another show, there was a post earlier that was comparing Minko to one of the characters in TT. To me, that fits the description of being inappropriate and off-topic for this very narrow thread. There are other places in this sub-forum to discuss that.
As for this episode...
I give Minko points for being a hard worker and dedicated, but she is just way too irritable and bad at dealing with people. I'm also scrathcing my head why she's considered one of the two princesses of that class. Are the guys trying to find a balance? Is cheerful and flity Yuina there to get there hopes and dreams up, and when they've had their fill, they let the icy Minko send their souls crashing down into the pits of hell???

This. Maybe it's a cultural thing and I just don't understand the subtlety and profundity of rice in an omelet with cutesy messages scribbled in ketchup, but I don't see why this girl can't just make him omuraisu on her own time and give it to him personally. Seems to me that she's just throwing a fit because Minko attracted effortlessly a guy she's known since elementary school yet still hasn't built the courage to actively pursue. That and projecting her anger at her own impotence towards someone else.

Also, I don't think its particularly uncommon for people to get worked up over that "one little thing". To me, this episode demonstrated a significant lack of people skills on Minko's part. If you must turn down a request like that, you do so in a way that at least makes the person in question feel like you're taking their concerns seriously. Minko's handling of it was just plain bad (and the actual source of most of the drama in that scene... like I mentioned, she handled it so badly I cringed).

In fairness, the situation isn't entirely fair to Minko either.
Her classmates are guilty of excessively applying a halo effect of sorts to Minko, thinking that just because she's hard-working and physically attractive that she's good at everything.
Minko probably doesn't have the best personality for running something like this, and to her credit, she herself knows that but she was pretty much forced into it anyway.
My feelings here are similar to Archon's. Next episode will be very telling to me. If they handle Minko right, then I'll be more optimistic going into the final arc.
One comedic relief character that's typically played just for laughs is fine, but three or more is really pushing it, imo.
Now, we may not think that, but the narrative is clearly amping up Minko and Yuina as the "hot girls" that all the guys like.
It's a way for the girl to give out a "safe hint" romantically. Safe in that the guy might get it, and act on it, but it's not likely to result in a confirmed romantic rejection.

Well now, this is more like it. It has been a while since they've shown a decent episode. Ohana, Yuina, and Nako(with her upgraded personality or whatnot) were quite amusing as side characters =03. Even Jiroumaru amused me with his little part.
Minchi, on the other hand, was def a bitch at the end. Had she been like, say, Okami, who would sternly separate love and work, I'd find what she said acceptable. However, demeaning someone else about mixing love and work when that's exactly what you are doing by trying to make a menu Tohru would be proud of, makes her a hypocrite. It was, to put it frankly, a selfish, bitch move >=0[.

I'm interested in what's going on in Nako's class. Namely, why no one showed up to help. She said they all agreed, but she seems melancholic when the subject is brought up. I'm actually suspecting that she enthusiastically pushed the idea while everyone else didn't necessarily care for it, which would be a rain on her new character change.

I liked the girls humming the op song and beside that I'm not quite sure if there was anything I liked about this episode. If anything, it was watchable. The others said it already, and I'll say the omelet rice scene was pathetic. It seemed like the episode was wasting time with little side story than going forward with the story. A few references to the previous episodes were nice touch but they were not good enough to make this episode memorable. It's 7/10 from me.

Clarke withdraws injured from Qatar Masters
BERNIE McGUIRE
Jan. 22, 2014
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — A chest injury prevented Darren Clarke from teeing up in his 500th European Tour event at the Qatar Masters on Wednesday.
Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday.
The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play.
Clarke, who was set to become the 25th player to compete in 500 tour events, headed back to his hotel and a flight home.
"It's disappointing Darren's had to withdraw as the tour was looking forward to honoring his 500th tournament with a presentation before he teed off this morning," tournament director David Probyn said.
"We will just have to wait now until Darren next competes in a European Tour event."
That will be the Masters at Augusta National from April 10, with Clarke taking up the third year of a five-year exemption in capturing the 2011 British Open.
He's next entered in the U.S. PGA Tour's Northern Trust Open from Feb. 13 in Los Angeles.

DETROIT (AP) — It took only seconds for the light snow to turn into a blinding curtain of white. Drivers slammed on their brakes, others swerved to avoid tractor-trailers jackknifed across a busy Detroit freeway that quickly turned into a mile-long string of wrecks.
Three people were killed, including two children. The maze of mangled vehicles closed Interstate 75 for several hours after the Thursday morning chain-reaction wrecks that sent more than a dozen people to hospitals.
Ken Czarnecki recalled quickly swerving to avoid a stopped truck in his lane, then glancing off the side of a car wedged beneath another truck before striking the back of a semi-trailer. The falling snow, he said, took only moments to thicken.
"It was a total white sheet," Czarnecki said. "You couldn't see past the front of your car."
A 7-year-old boy from Ontario, Canada, and his 9-year-old stepsister were killed. Their mother and 10-year-old sister were in critical condition in Detroit hospitals, and their father was in good condition, said Michigan State Police Lt. Michael Shaw.
Menelaos Manolis, 54, of nearby Allen Park, also was killed. The Wayne County medical examiner's office reported Friday that Manolis died of multiple injuries from the accident.
No other information about the victims has been released.
Police estimated that as many as 30 cars, SUVs and semi-trailers were crushed, buckled or damaged along the freeway, which cuts through a heavily industrialized part of the city and nearby communities. Semi-trailers and tankers dominate the interstate, some hauling loads and liquids to a nearby refinery and steel companies.
The freeway's surface was slick Thursday as temperatures in the Detroit area dropped by about 30 degrees from the previous day — to only 24 degrees at the time of the pileup, along with strong winds. The accidents happened near an elevated stretch of expressway where the road surface can cool quickly and make driving hazardous, said National Weather Service meteorologist Bryan Tilley.
Conditions for drivers went from "clear to total whiteout in a matter of seconds," Shaw said. "All of a sudden, they couldn't see anymore."
Motorists and passengers who were able to climb out of their vehicles huddled together on the side of the road, some visibly distraught, others looking dazed. A man and woman hugged under the gray, cloud-filled skies, a pair of suitcases next to them and a bumper on the ground behind.
"It happened so fast. I've never seen anything like it," said Czarnecki, a 47-year-old who was headed to Toledo, Ohio, to train kitchen and bath salespeople on a new computer system. "I actually controlled my speed pretty well. I don't think anyone was really speeding. People weren't zipping by me."
Marc Milam said his all-wheel drive car allowed him to maneuver among "all the cars that were crashing" around him.
"It happened really fast, and it was over with," said Milam, who was headed to work for an auto supplier when the pileup started.
Authorities quickly called in as many ambulances that were available to transport victims to area hospitals. Rescue crews went vehicle to vehicle in the search for survivors and to provide aid.
At least 13 people were transported to hospitals, while others were treated at the scene, Shaw said.
It took more than six hours before the freeway's southbound lanes were reopened. Shaw said it could be a day or more before investigators identify which vehicles were involved in the initial wreck that spawned the other crashes.
The bad weather also was blamed for at least two other pileups Thursday in the state. U.S. 23 in Mundy Township near Flint was closed for hours after about 33 vehicles crashed during a sudden snow squall. In southwest Michigan, eight tractor-trailers and six cars crashed on I-94, closing the westbound lanes to traffic for hours at Paw Paw.
A similar pileup west of Indianapolis involving more than 40 vehicles that closed Interstate 70 in both directions. Authorities said five people remained hospitalized Thursday night, including on in critical condition.
Associated Press writers Mike Householder, David N. Goodman, Jeff Karoub and David Aguilar in Detroit, and Pamela Engel in Plainfield, Ind., contributed to this story.

Bluetooth SIG gets serious
Chinese factory raided, 20,000 items seized
The Bluetooth SIG showed its muscle today when the manufacturing facility of Shenzhen Bluebird Hi-Tech. Co. in Shenzhen was raided by officers from the Shenzhen City Economic Crime Investigation Department of the Public Security Bureau (a unit which will never make for a snappy TV title).
Over 20,000 items were seized from the factory, all bearing the Bluetooth logo and ranging from headsets to manuals and boxes. The company was already under investigation for producing products infringing on the Bluetooth SIG trademarks. The Bluetooth SIG only allows kit which has passed their tests to bear their logo, which is protected under trademark law.
"By bypassing qualification and tests, it is unfair not only to Bluetooth SIG members who have conformed to the Bluetooth Qualification Program but also to consumers, who often end up buying poor quality grade products that have not met the Bluetooth specification requirements" said Micheal Foley, Bluetooth SIG director.
Far worse for the Bluetooth SIG is that customers who buy dodgy Bluetooth kit will end up blaming the technology rather than the device, devaluing the whole business as they tell their friends that Bluetooth devices don't work.
"China is committed to the fight against IP and trademark infringement", stated Mr. Daoxin Ou, Head of Trademark & Advertisement Department, Shenzhen Administration for Industry & Commerce Futian Branch.
It's a start, now if they could just work on their freedom of speech issues.®

Canadian Telcos Appoint Ex-Cabinet Ministers To Their Boards
from the not-as-bad-as-it-seems dept
Neither Prentice nor Day will be lobbyists, but it seems obvious that their knowledge of government is being sought for the purposes of lobbying. In the broadband space, Bell has been butting heads with the government and regulators over issues like wholesale usage-based billing. In the wireless space, the next spectrum auction is approaching and incumbents want to avoid a repeat of the last auction, where 40% of the spectrum was reserved for new entrants and the government forced incumbents to offer roaming agreements -- rules ironically set by Bell's new board member, Jim Prentice.
Are these appointments examples of regulatory capture? It might appear that way. It's certainly a case of telcos gearing up for a heavy round of lobbying that's unlikely to favor consumers, but it's hardly a case of blatant revolving doors. Day was not actually responsible for telecom policy, and Prentice was behind rules that angered incumbents. If the government favors incumbents in the next spectrum auction or backs down on wholesale usage-based billing, that would be a different story, but Canadian incumbents are scrambling because they've lost some big battles. This isn't so much a cause for deep concern as it is a challenge to those who favor more competition in Canada to keep pressing the government to follow through on what it's started.

FRITZ!Box 3272 Serwis - Baza wiedzy
AVM Content
Certain settings are missing from the FRITZ!Box user interface
You would like to use or configure a specific function, such as DynDNS, in the user interface. However, the corresponding settings (such as menu items, buttons) are not displayed although these settings are present in the user interface of a different FRITZ!Box of the same type.
Note:The configuration procedure and notes on functions given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for your FRITZ!Box.
Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the issue persists.
1 Enabling the advanced view
- Enable the advanced view in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2 Enabling the telephony function
The telephony function is hidden in the user interface in the factory settings. If you would like to use the FRITZ!Box's telephony function, you must therefore first enable the following setting:
- Click "Wireless" ("WLAN") in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Radio Network" in the "Wireless" ("WLAN") menu.
- Enable the option "Enable support for FRITZ!App Fon in the FRITZ!Box".
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
3 The function cannot be used in the current operating mode
If certain settings (for example "online meter", "port sharing", "dynamic DNS", "IP settings" and "DSL information") are still missing, then this is due to the FRITZ!Box's operating mode (IP client mode or wireless repeater). When the FRITZ!Box is used as an IP client or a wireless repeater, some of its settings are grayed out because they cannot be used or do not make sense in that particular operating mode.
Note:If you would like to use the functions that are not available, you can configure them in the FRITZ!Box or router it is behind.
4 Function cannot be used with certain editions of FRITZ!Box
Various editions of the FRITZ!Box are available. Some are available in specific countries (for example special editions for Germany, Switzerland, Austria or international editions), and some editions are for a specific internet service provider. The functions offered by these different editions can differ. As a result, the corresponding settings (such as menu items, buttons) are not available, although they are offered by a different FRITZ!Box of the same type.

Air Quality at Voyageurs National Park
What's in the Air?
Most people who visit national parks expect clean air and clear views. Given its remote location on the northern edge of Minnesota's border with Canada, Voyageurs National Park (NP) experiences relatively good air quality. However, the park lies downwind of pollution from sources in the Midwest and Canada, as well as nearby industrial sources like paper mills. Airborne pollutants can harm the park's natural and scenic resources such as wildlife, vegetation, surface waters, and visibility.
How is air pollution affecting Voyageurs National Park?
- Toxic airborne contaminants, including mercury, deposit in park ecosystems, presenting a wildlife and human health concern. more »
- Levels of nitrogen and sulfur deposition are relatively low but boreal lakes and sugar maple trees in the park are very sensitive to deposition. more »
- While ground-level ozone concentrations are relatively low, ozone-sensitive vegetation is found in the park. more »
- Fine particles of air pollution sometimes cause haze in the park, affecting how well and how far visitors can see vistas and landmarks. more »
What is the National Park Service doing about air pollution at the park?
- Monitoring ozone, fine particles, and haze to assess status and trends in air quality. more »
- Evaluating the impacts of air pollution on park ecosystems. more »
- Working with federal, state, and local agencies, industry, and public interest groups to develop strategies to reduce air pollution and protect and restore park resources. The NPS also reviews plans for development that may increase air pollution in national parks. more »
- Using an environmentally-friendly vehicle fleet and adapting park facilities and infrastructure to conserve energy. more »

It's 2012 in the small British town of Perran. Eden and her best friend Connor, who she's known since preschool, live mundane lives that include studying for Year Eleven exams, hanging out with their friends, and being regular teenagers. Eden has had a bit of a rough road, considering her parents died in an accident and she's being raised by an aunt who has a boyfriend named Travis who's beyond annoying. But, Eden makes due.
One day a muscled, stunning young man by the name of Ryan Wetland appears at school. He has a strange accent and is so beautiful that most of the females fall for him on sight. The person Ryan takes up with, however, is Eden. She doesn't quite understand, seeing as that she's not the most popular or the most beautiful.
As they get to know each other, Eden finds Ryan's back story more than a bit curious. Although he says he's from a small town in New Hampshire, his accent is anything but American. And when she talks about foods or mentions history (i.e., anything from hamburgers to Hitler), Ryan doesn't seem to know what she's talking about.
All Ryan is truly engaged with is astronomy – a science geek in a quarterback's body. But it turns out that Ryan has a reason for his oddities; he comes from the future and he's there to stop Connor from discovering something that will, one day, destroy Earth and everyone on it.
When Eden finds out the secret, she must change her beliefs and choose between her best friend and a stranger she's falling madly in love with.
This is a good YA; the characters are humorous and the plot offers a great deal of information about conservation. By touching on this subject, the reader not only gets an interesting story, but also a real education on what 'could' happen if protecting Earth remains at the bottom of our 'things to do' list.
Until Next Time, Everybody,
Amy Lignor

I'm attending a baby shower this October, what should I wear? I'm a New Yorker a
One might assume that attending a baby shower means you no longer have the opportunity to exercise your fashion freedom. Au contraire, I think the celebratory occasion is the perfect opportunity to showcase your latest fashion finds amongst a group of your greatest girlfriends. Typically for a baby shower, you will find yourself in a brunch or lunch setting, so when it comes to your wardrobe, think: early afternoon apparel-something light and airy.
If you choose to go with a dress, opt for a classic belt wrap silhouette. The shape is timeless and ultra feminine, plus it will flatter almost any body type. Don't be afraid to get creative and shop for one in a floral print-florals are not just a thing for spring! Of course, since you are in New York and chilly weather is a concern, you can try a printed jacquard sweater dress-talk about versatility and functionality! If you prefer separates instead of a dress, I recommend a long printed skirt paired with a chicly subtle button-down blouse.
In terms of outerwear, I propose two fab options-a little leather jacket or an elegant trench coat. The leather jacket is great because it will add some unexpected edge to your ladylike ensemble, plus it can help transition your outfit from daytime to night, if needed. Of course, you can also never go wrong with a traditional trench, they are a classic chilly weather staple.
For footwear I suggest you try a pair of heeled loafers; it's a huge trend this season. Pick one in a masculine shade of cognac that will juxtapose beautifully with the feminine tan colour of your leather jacket or trench coat. If you're not into the idea of heeled loafers, go for suede platform booties instead. Also, if it's extra chilly the day of the baby shower, you can outfit your stems in a pair of black opaque tights for a look that is cosy and sophisticated.
Since this is a daytime event, I wouldn't go too crazy in the accessories department. Adorn your neck with a chunky gold necklace or a wrap scarf for added warmth if desired. Finally, carry all your day's essentials in a textured satchel or classic tote and you are set to go.

The groups – Uranium Watch, the Center for Water Advocacy, and Living Rivers – filed the action in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City on July 29, challenging a decision by the U.S. Forest Service to allow the drilling of 16 exploration drill holes and two radon vent holes as part of an expansion of the Pandora Uranium Mine.
The suit says the Forest Service gave Denver-based Denison Mines Corp. (USA) approval for the drilling operations as part of an expansion of its Pandora mine complex without completing a full environmental analysis.
The groups also filed a request for a preliminary injunction at the Pandora Mine to stop ground disturbance and construction of the exploration holes and radon vent holes until the case can be fully heard by the federal court. The groups are seeking to overturn the decision to allow the drilling.
The groups say some of the radon that will be vented poses a danger to residents of La Sal and students at La Sal Elementary School.
Sarah Fields, program director for Uranium Watch, said the Pandora Mine is operating under an inadequate and outdated operations and environmental assessment plan.
"The Forest Service should not approve any expansion of the mine until there is a fully updated plan," Fields said.
Ron Hochstein, president and CEO of Denison Mines, said he could not comment on the lawsuit because the company's legal team is still going through the documents. Denison Mines is not named directly in the suit, and Hochstein said the company is now considering whether to become actively involved in the legal action.

OK, here's one that's puzzling me...
Does anyone know how to, approximately, determine the age of a Wollensak 6¼" (159mm) f12.5 Anastigmat Extreme W. A.?
I recently purchased an unused 159mm f12.5 Extreme Wide Angle in a Rapax shutter in the original box. Here's the eBay item listing (which will expire in about 90 days once the lens arrives, Ill find a place to post a better picture):
Here's the details:
Wollensak 6¼ (159mm) f12.5 Anastigmat Extreme W.A.
Serial Number 736166
Rapax Synchromatic Shutter
The lens is "Wocoted" as designated by the trademark big "C" surrounding a smaller "W".
There was another 159mm f12.5 Wollensak Extreme Wide Angle that ended earlier today on eBay. Item listing:
That one is in an Alphax shutter, with the following details:
Wollensak 6¼" (159mm) f12.5 Anastigmat Extreme W.A.
Serial No. A84258
In addition to the "Wocoted" symbol, this one also has a yellow dot.
So, anyone have any idea which one is newer? I've always assumed the models in the Rapax shutter were newer as the Rapax was the most advanced shutter Wollensak made. However, a 1954 Wollensak catalog I have offers lenses in both shutter types. The two different serial number styles adds to the confusion. I originally thought perhaps they just used a separate sequence starting with the letter "A" for lenses sold in Alphax shutters. The same 1954 catalog disproves that theory as well - it shows 135mm Raptar on the cover in a Rapax shutter with a serial number A32119. Both styles of serial numbers appear throughout the catalog. Of course, some of the photos could have been old stock shots that were taken years before the catalog was published. If anyone has ANY Wollensak serial number data, that would help put this mystery to bed once and for all. Unfortunately, my own Wollensak literature collection is very sparse and of no value in sorting this out.
In the end, it probably doesn't matter much. I'm just trying to satisfy my own curiosity. Obviously, both samples are coated and made post-WWII - most likely some time between 1946 and 1965. They are probably both equally fine performers (given that both are in outstanding condition). I'm just always trying to find clues to dating these older lenses. In addition to Wollensak serial number data, I'd also love to get my hands on Bausch & Lomb serial number info. I know, around the time of WWII, B&L switched from a purely numeric serial numbering system to one consisting of two letters followed by four numbers. The two letters are likely some sort of code (similar to Kodak's CAMEROSITY) that can be used to date the year of production. For the life of me, I haven't been able to come up with any code word that makes sense. Any ideas?

Born with a cleft lip and palate, and living with joint issues, Andrew Range has overcome his medical challenges and will play ball at Busch Stadium.
Baby Josiah has a rare condition called gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia. It causes extra bone growth in his skull and jawbone, and causes the rest of the bones in his body to be extremely brittle.
Seven-year-old Blair Partain is a fist-full of energy. Whether she's bouncing on the trampoline, trying on costume jewelry or playing with her Barbie dolls, her mom says she's a bona fide princess.
A ten-year-old from south-central Missouri not only has a smile on his face after a devastating accident that nearly killed him, he has a new face altogether.
When Roberta Miller's 7-year-old daughter, Jolene Green, required surgery to remove a tumor compressing her airway, she knew St. Louis Children's Hospital was where her daughter needed to be.
Lucas crushed his finger between a 15-pound weight and a piece of wood. The ring finger on his left hand was split open and we could tell it was broken.
Matthew Roche has a rare disease called Crouzon syndrome, which causes the skull bones to fuse prematurely. This leads to craniofacial deformities including bulging eyes and dental problems. Matthew has had multiple surgeries to try and normalize his appearance. Now that he is full-grown, he is ready for a full reconstruction.
These days, Mia can usually be found coddling one of her many dolls, participating in the activities of any good mother — feeding, kissing and holding her babies. According to the 18-month-old's parents, Amy and Ryan Ramkhelawan, it is remarkable to see their little girl do something as simple as carry her doll around their Lilburn, Georgia, home.
One look at Landon Snethen, and you can tell there's a lot going on in that head of his. Landon is a happy, busy 1-year old boy, but when he was only three weeks old, his family had real concerns.
When Wyatt Heilman was 4 months old, he was diagnosed with craniosynostosis, a condition that occurs when one or more joints between the bone plates of the skull fuse together. Trying to find the best treatment for Wyatt led his Michigan family to travel miles from home to St. Louis Children's Hospital.
For examples of our patients and the successes they have had at St. Louis Children's Hospital, please see our photo gallery.

Dinner and baseball talk set for tonight in Manchester
November 16. 2012 9:40PM
THE LIVE AUCTION is always one of the top highlights at the annual Granite State Baseball Dinner, giving fans a chance to bid on an eclectic mix of items, ranging from a Jerry Garcia guitar to a collection of signed baseballs from the 500-homer club.
Big-game Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter, who graduated from Trinity High of Manchester and has a home in Bedford, usually generates thousands of dollars with his own bids and donations. And this year, he's taking someone salmon fishing.
The auction at tonight's dinner features a four-day fishing excursion with the Cy Young Award winner and two-time World Series champion. The highest bidder (and a guest) will join Carpenter on a yet-to-be-scheduled trip to Gaspe, Quebec. The package includes travel, lodging, food and much more.
What's it like fishing with Carpenter?
Last winter, on a trip to Brazil, Carpenter and fellow ace Roy Halladay were part of a group that hunted in the rainforest and fished for peacock bass. They returned home with tales of anacondas and alligators. If you're attending tonight's event at the Radisson Hotel Expo Center in Manchester, go ahead and ask Carpenter about the rescue of another fisherman who'd been attacked by an anaconda.
Doors open at 5 p.m. An autograph session from 5-7 is sure to keep everyone busy. The guest list includes Hall of Famer Wade Boggs, former home run champion Cecil Fielder, Pirates lefty Jeff Locke of Conway, Rays outfielder Sam Fuld of Durham and ex-big leaguers Mike LaValliere, Rich Gedman, Bob Stanley, Ron Blomberg and Darrell Evans. Carpenter said he is most anxious to meet LaValliere, a Manchester native and fellow Trinity alumnus.
The head table will also include Yankees minor leaguer Joey Maher of Bedford and Cubs farmhand Brad Zapenas of Nashua. Former New Hampshire Fisher Cats All-Star catcher Brian Jeroloman and 2012 Fisher Cats home run leader Brad Glenn are returning to Manchester for the event, which raises money for the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, the Ted Williams Foundation, and the Fisher Cats Foundation. The dinner program begins at 7 p.m.
COLLEGE COMMITMENTS: Bedford High senior Andy Lalonde gave a verbal commitment this week to play scholarship baseball for St. Bonaventure of the Atlantic 10, and Nashua North senior Matthew Fortin plans to sign a letter of intent to play for Seton Hall University on Tuesday.
Lalonde, a 6-foot-5 power-hitting catcher, who has drawn interest from several Division I programs in the past year, said he is excited about the baseball program and curriculum at St. Bonaventure.
"There were many factors that went into the decision but the biggest was the level of baseball. I also really liked the campus, and I've heard and read a lot about the school's spirit when it comes to sports," he said.
Lalonde will represent New Hampshire at the 7th annual Power Showcase Home Run Derby and All-World/All-American Baseball Classic at Marlins Park from Dec. 27-30. Last year, he competed in the event at Chase Field in Phoenix, home of the Diamondbacks.
Fortin, who will serve as the Titans starting catcher for a third straight season, was drawn to Seton Hall for its business management program and caliber of play in the Big East. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder led the Titans in RBIs last season.

OK, let us assume about 150-200 claims (dates of service) per month. $ volume at about 15K, follow up on unpaid claims, w/ resubmits when necessary. About 10-20 hrs. per week.
As for the $15 per hour, that is fairly cheap. It doesn't really allow for the expenses of running your business. That is just my opinion, not meant to offend kristin. If I went to work in a medical office where they covered overhead (rent, utilities) and provided me with a computer/software, and paid the employer's portion of my taxes, then $15 would be ok, but when you are self employed you must consider other expenses.
No offense taken, Michele! My price is not based on running a business from my home, I think that is the biggest difference. I do lots of remote billing from home, and $15 is the most I charge any doctor, because I have no overhead/expenses. My laptop is paid for already, software is all cloud-based with the providers...heck, I don't even use a printer. Now, if I was running a business, or had expenses, $15 wouldn't cut it, not at all.

WESTCHESTER, N.Y. -- Westchester County is set to lose $5.2 million in grants from the federal government, according to a report from LoHud.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development gave Westchester County two weeks to come into compliance with the 2009 fair housing settlement, according to the LoHud report. The community development grants were awarded in 2012 but have been withheld because of lack of compliance, according to the report. More than $7 million in grants from 2011 were withheld in 2013, according to the report.
"Unfortunately, Westchester refuses to comply with Federal anti-discrimination law and sign a statement to affirmatively further fair housing," said HUD Acting Deputy Secretary Helen Kanovsky in the LoHud report.

About This Artwork
Mary Cassatt
American, 1844–1926
The Child's Bath, 1893
Oil on canvas
100.3 x 66.1 cm (39 1/2 x 26 in.)
Signed lower left: "Mary Cassatt"
Robert A. Waller Fund, 1910.2
The only American artist to exhibit her work with the French Impressionists, Mary Cassatt was first invited to show with the group by Edgar Degas in 1877. By that time, she had become disenchanted with traditional academic painting. Like her friend Degas, Cassatt concentrated on the human figure in her Impressionist works, particularly on sensitive yet unsentimental portrayals of women and children. The Child's Bath, with its striking and unorthodox composition, is one of Cassatt's masterworks. In it she employed unconventional devices such as cropped forms, bold patterns and outlines, and a flattened perspective, all of which derived from her study of Japanese woodblock prints. The lively patterns play off one another and serve to accentuate the nakedness of the child, whose vulnerable white legs are as straight as the lines of the woman's striped dress. The elevated vantage point permits the viewer to observe, but not participate in, this most intimate scene. Cassatt's composition thereby reinforces her subject: the tender absorption of a woman with a child.

Reviewed by Kaitlynn V. (age 10)
I thought that this book was awesome because it had great description and the words pulled you into the story. It was like you were watching Mandy's every move. My favorite part was when Percy, who was a patient at the hospital, played Santa and delivered presents to all of the kids in the hospital. He was really happy and the kids were really happy, too. I could almost feel their happiness. I think that Mandy was most like me because she loved animals and was always trying to save them and that is exactly what I do.
I would recommend this book to animal lovers because it is all about animals. It is part of the Animal Ark Series. The description really helped bring out feeling in the story. This book is great for 3rd grade and up. This is the best book ever!

Police had run in with Texas Tech shooting suspect day before the shooting
The Lubbock Police Department stated in a press conference held Thursday morning, 19-year-old Hollis Daniels had a run in with LPD officers the day before the fatal shooting of a Texas Tech University Police officer.
LPD said the gun was not reported stolen until several hours later, around midnight to 1 a.m. on Monday. While officers were en route to the call for the stolen firearm, they saw a vehicle matching the description of Hollis Daniels' vehicle, and pulled it over.
According to LPD, officers interviewed the suspect and requested consent to search his vehicle, but Daniels refused. Officers decided there was not enough probable cause to go through with searching the vehicle or getting a warrant for the vehicle. Officers also thought there may be drugs in the vehicle but when they looked into whether or not a drug dog was available and there was not one available, LPD said.
Ultimately, LPD said it would have been unconstitutional for officers to search the vehicle, as there was no "arrestable" charge and nothing to hold the suspect on at that time.
Later on Monday, LPD said there were "some other reports made through the Texas Tech Police Department," which included a report from Daniels' family. When TTUPD responded to the student welfare check call Monday night and Daniels was arrested by Officer Floyd East Jr., as well as other officers.
Daniels was taken to the Department, where he was being processed to be booked into jail on a charge of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. During that time, LPD said, East was shot and killed.
According to LPD, Daniels was searched during his time in custody, however, "unfortunately he was able to gain access to a weapon." Although LPD Police Chief Greg Stevens did not want to comment on TTUPD's policy, he did say there are times when a suspect is in custody that they may be unhandcuffed for a variety of reasons. "Perhaps to sign a document; to go to the bathroom; to make a phone call, things like that," Stevens said.
LPD said they received the call of shots fired within two minutes of the incident occurring, at 7:46 p.m. Units responded and LPD officers were on the campus by 7:49 p.m.
"What I saw when I got the campus was an effort to ensure that the students and the faculty of Texas Tech University were safe," Stevens said during the Thursday morning press conference.
Stevens confirmed that after the shooting, Daniels did try to make it back to his dorm room but was not able to get in. He also tried to get to his vehicle, but due to law enforcement officers surrounding the area, he was not able to get to his vehicle either.
Daniels were first sighted at 9:08 p.m. and was taken into custody by a TTU police officer at 9:26 p.m.
The LPD, Texas Rangers and Texas Department of Public Safety's Laboratory Services then began investigating the homicide of East. Members of the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office, as well as the local FBI office, are helping in the investigation, which is ongoing as of Thursday morning.
At this time, Daniels is charged with Capital Murder. He now also faces a federal weapons charge for Possession of a Stolen Firearm.
A memorial fund has been set up for the family of East. He leaves behind a wife and two children.

Hiker rescued on Mount Monadnock
August 31. 2014 1:09AM
A team of NH Fish and Game Conservation Officers, DRED Mountain Patrol Rangers, and several volunteers were called to rescue a hiker on Mount Monadnock Saturday night.
At approximately 630 p.m., authorities received a call from a hiker stating that while descending the mountain her daughter fell and injured her leg.
DRED Mountain Patrol Rangers reached the trio of hikers and began administering medical attention to Allison Doyle, 18, of Fitchburg, Mass.
Doyle along with her mother and brother were above the "Boulder Field" approximately three-fourths of the way up the White Cross Trail. A previous medical condition made it impossible for Doyle to walk herself down the mountain after the injury and thus rescuers had to evacuate her on a litter. Rescuers reached Monadnock Park Headquarters at 10:15 p.m. and transferred Doyle to the Jaffrey/Rindge Memorial Ambulance.
Doyle was transported to Monadnock Community Hospital for what is believed to be a non-life-threatening injury. Conservation Officers would like to thank the passing hikers who stopped to volunteer their time with the carry-out and remind anyone who ventures outdoors to prepare for the unexpected by leaving adequate time to hike and by carrying the essential equipment such as flashlights and extra layers.
