12 U.S. Code § 4614 - Capital classifications
For purposes of this subchapter, the Director shall classify the enterprises according to the following capital classifications:
Adequately capitalized
An enterprise shall be classified as adequately capitalized if the enterprise—
maintains an amount of total capital that is equal to or exceeds the risk-based capital level established for the enterprise under section
4611 of this title; and
maintains an amount of core capital that is equal to or exceeds the minimum capital level established for the enterprise under section
4612 of this title.
An enterprise shall be classified as undercapitalized if—
Significantly undercapitalized
An enterprise shall be classified as significantly undercapitalized if—
the enterprise—
does not maintain an amount of total capital that is equal to or exceeds the risk-based capital level established for the enterprise;
does not maintain an amount of core capital that is equal to or exceeds the minimum capital level established for the enterprise; and
maintains an amount of core capital that is equal to or exceeds the critical capital level established for the enterprise under section
4613 of this title; or
Federal Home Loan Banks
Establishment and criteria
For purposes of this subchapter, the Director shall, by regulation—
establish the capital classifications specified under paragraph (2) for the Federal Home Loan Banks;
establish criteria for each such capital classification based on the amount and types of capital held by a bank and the risk-based, minimum, and critical capital levels for the banks and taking due consideration of the capital classifications established under subsection (a) for the enterprises, with such modifications as the Director determines to be appropriate to reflect the difference in operations between the banks and the enterprises; and
Discretionary classification
Grounds for reclassification
The Director may reclassify a regulated entity under paragraph (2) if—
at any time, the Director determines in writing that the regulated entity is engaging in conduct that could result in a rapid depletion of core or total capital or the value of collateral pledged as security has decreased significantly or that the value of the property subject to mortgages held by the regulated entity (or securitized in the case of an enterprise) has decreased significantly;
In addition to any other action authorized under this chapter, including the reclassification of a regulated entity for any reason not specified in this subsection, if the Director takes any action described in paragraph (1), the Director may classify a regulated entity—
Quarterly determination
The Director shall determine the capital classification of the regulated entities for purposes of this subchapter on not less than a quarterly basis (and as appropriate under subsection (c) of this section).
Restriction on capital distributions
In general
A regulated entity shall make no capital distribution if, after making the distribution, the regulated entity would be undercapitalized.
Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the Director may permit a regulated entity, to the extent appropriate or applicable, to repurchase, redeem, retire, or otherwise acquire shares or ownership interests if the repurchase, redemption, retirement, or other acquisition—
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, during the period beginning on October 28, 1992, and ending upon the effective date of section
4615 of this title (as provided in section
of this title), an enterprise shall be classified as adequately capitalized if the enterprise maintains an amount of core capital that is equal to or exceeds the minimum capital level for the enterprise under section
4612 of this title.

Estate-size Spa Teak Shower Bench
Great bath bench
I really like this bench. It looks great in my shower room, and it's comfortable. I like the lower shelf for storing fresh bath towels. I only wish it came prefinished, so it would not turn grey over time. We did apply a penetrating oil, and it looks great, but it was extra work for us.
January 29, 2014
Not High Grade Teak
Be aware that I purchased this bench a little over a year ago and the "Grade-A" teak has begun drying out & splintering at the top of the bench (especially the several perpendicular top planks), which makes it, at best, uncomfortable to sit on. If you're using this in a shower like I was, I would definitely recommend you treat it with teak oil or some other water repellent. Otherwise, I'd recommend this bench for areas where it doesn't get wet. As an aside, I have teak on the swim deck of my boat that is regularly exposed to the elements, which I've had a lot longer and has never degraded like this.
February 28, 2013
This bench is beautiful & very useful. We have sitting by our shower door so we step out p u towel & any clothing & a place to sit. The rods on each end is where we hang our mat to step on & the other rod we put a hand towel we use to dry shower door with. This
Item is so perfect for us. Love it. Everything w/in reach & looks classy. We bought your spray teak & stained it before using & it brought out a gorgeous color, we'll respray probably every 6 mos. Thanks for quality -Frontgate.

Teak spa bench
Bench is heavy and well made, with elegant lines and metal accent fitting. Smooth natural oil finishing. Leveling rubber foot pads help on the natural imperfections of our slate floor. Well packaged and shipped quickly. Looks great and will last a lifetime.

Teak Shower Bench
This 48" teak shower bench fits perfectly in my steam shower in the master bathroom and I love the storage beneath for shampoos and soaps, etc. That was the main attraction for me as I disliked sitting things on top of the previous seat. I was, however, disappointed in the way the wood was finished. It really could have been sanded more smoothly - the surface is surprisingly rough. Not so much that you will get splinters, but I did expect a smoother, less porous surface for use in a wet environment.

In using sum
as in section 1.3.1, it seems terribly awkward to have to define trivial procedures such as
and pi-next
just so we can use them as arguments to
our higher-order procedure. Rather than define pi-next
and pi-term
, it would be more convenient
to have a way to directly specify "the procedure that returns its
input incremented by 4" and "the procedure that returns the
reciprocal of its input times its input plus 2." We can do this by
introducing the special form lambda
, which creates procedures. Using lambda
we can describe what we want as
(lambda (x) (+ x 4))
(lambda (x) (/ 1.0 (* x (+ x 2))))
Then our pi-sum
procedure can be expressed without defining any auxiliary procedures as
(define (pi-sum a b)
(sum (lambda (x) (/ 1.0 (* x (+ x 2))))
(lambda (x) (+ x 4))
Again using lambda
, we can write the integral
procedure without having to define the auxiliary procedure add-dx
(define (integral f a b dx)
(* (sum f
(+ a (/ dx 2.0))
(lambda (x) (+ x dx))
In general, lambda
is used to create procedures in the same way as define
, except that no name is specified for the procedure:
(lambda (<formal-parameters>) <body>)
The resulting procedure is just as much a procedure as one that is
created using define
. The only difference is that it has not
been associated with any name in the environment. In fact,
(define (plus4 x) (+ x 4))
is equivalent to
(define plus4 (lambda (x) (+ x 4)))
We can read a lambda
expression as follows:
(lambda (x) (+ x 4))
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
the procedure of an argument x that adds x and 4
Like any expression that has a procedure as its value, a lambda
expression can be used as the operator in a combination such as
((lambda (x y z) (+ x y (square z))) 1 2 3)
or, more generally, in any context where we would normally use a procedure name.[53]
Using let
to create local variables
Another use of lambda
is in creating local variables.
We often need local variables in our procedures other than those that have
been bound as formal parameters. For example, suppose we wish to
compute the function
which we could also express as
In writing a procedure to compute f, we would like to include as local variables not only x and y but also the names of intermediate quantities like a and b. One way to accomplish this is to use an auxiliary procedure to bind the local variables:
(define (f x y)
(define (f-helper a b)
(+ (* x (square a))
(* y b)
(* a b)))
(f-helper (+ 1 (* x y))
(- 1 y)))
Of course, we could use a lambda
expression to specify an anonymous procedure for binding our local variables. The body of
then becomes a single call to that procedure:
(define (f x y)
((lambda (a b)
(+ (* x (square a))
(* y b)
(* a b)))
(+ 1 (* x y))
(- 1 y)))
This construct is so useful that there is a special form called
to make its use more convenient. Using let
, the f
procedure could be written as
(define (f x y)
((lambda (a b)
(+ (* x (square a))
(* y b)
(* a b)))
(+ 1 (* x y))
(- 1 y)))
The general form of a let
expression is
(let ((<var1> <exp1>) (<var2> <exp2>)
⋮(<varn> <expn>)) <body>)
The first part of the let
expression is a list of
name-expression pairs. When the let
is evaluated, each name is associated with the value of the corresponding expression. The body
of the let
is evaluated with
these names bound as local variables. The way this happens is that the let
expression is interpreted as an alternate syntax for
((lambda (<var1> …<varn>) <body>) <exp1>
No new mechanism is required in the interpreter in order to
provide local variables. A let
expression is simply syntactic sugar for the underlying lambda
We can see from this equivalence that the scope of a variable specified by a let
expression is the body of the let
. This implies that:
allows one to bind variables as locally as possible to where they are to be used. For example, if the value ofx
is 5, the value of the expression(+ (let ((x 3)) (+ x (* x 10))) x)
is 38. Here, the
in the body of thelet
is 3, so the value of thelet
expression is 33. On the other hand, thex
that is the second argument to the outermost+
is still 5.The variables' values are computed outside the
. This matters when the expressions that provide the values for the local variables depend upon variables having the same names as the local variables themselves. For example, if the value of x is 2, the expression(let ((x 3) (y (+ x 2))) (* x y))
will have the value 12 because, inside the body of the
, x will be 3 and y will be 4 (which is the outer x plus 2).
Sometimes we can use internal definitions to get the same effect as
with let
. For example, we could have defined the procedure f
above as
(define (f x y)
(define a (+ 1 (* x y)))
(define b (- 1 y))
(+ (* x (square a))
(* y b)
(* a b)))
We prefer, however, to use let
in situations like this
and to use internal define
only for internal procedures.[54]
, such as make-procedure
, were used. But the convention is firmly entrenched. The notation is adopted from the λ calculus, a mathematical formalism introduced by the mathematical logician Alonzo Church (1941). Church developed the λ calculus to provide a rigorous foundation for studying the notions of function and function application. The λ calculus has become a basic tool for mathematical investigations of the semantics of programming languages. [back]Exercises
I believe the pic below the paragraph
"This construct is so useful that there is a special form called let to make its use more convenient. Using let, the f procedure could be written as"
is incorrect because it is identical to the one above.
The code just after the paragraph
"This construct is so useful that there is a special form called let to make its use more convenient. Using let, the f procedure could be written as"
should be this:
(define (f x y)
(let ((a (+ 1 (* x y)))
(b (- 1 y)))
(+ (* x (square a))
(* y b)
(* a b))))

Fun and Fit
There's a reason many women are turning to dance classes for health benefits. You'll notice an immediate difference in poise
and posture, and, on average, an hour of intense dancing can burn 200-400 calories.
"Dance training changes the way you move and the way you carry yourself," says Ofelia de la Valette, owner of Atlanta's Dance 101. "It improves self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-image, and that's a powerful thing."
Dance 101 is filled with students at all ages and skill levels, including women who have never set foot on a dance floor.
"Everyone can benefit from dance, regardless of age, weight, or fitness level," Ofelia says. "Dancing is like taking a mini
vacation from the stress of the everyday―you have to be in the moment."

"You hide behind your camera instead of stepping out and engaging life with both hands. You're so afraid you'll fail at something, you won't even try."
For some people, Alaska is a breathtaking wilderness adventure, full of light and beauty. For Haley, it is a dangerous world of dark dreams and tortured memories. On the surface, she's here to document wildlife activist Kipp Nowak's bear encounters. But her real reason is to unearth the truth about a past murder. The suspense mounts when another body turns up, and Haley beginst to wonder if the tragedies she experienced in the past are connected to the dangers and mysterious incidents of the present.
From behind her camera, Haley observes it all, including Tank Lassiter, the wildlife biologist who has been forced to lead Kipp and his team into the Alaskan backcountry. As she watches him with his work, she feels a growing attraction. It will take great courage and faith to confront the truth she once ran away from. Before it's over, Haley may be viewing herself from an entirely new angle.
Alaska Twilight is the story of a young woman's emergence from the shadows of past sorrow into the light of forgiveness and grace.

John Varvatos Accessories
To create his chic, edgy menswear and accessories, John Varvatos draws inspiration from his hometown of Detroit and the charismatic rock musicians it's spawned: Jack White, Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop, just to name a few. Varvatos' diverse accessories collection perfectly complements his slim-fitting shirts and jeans, distressed leather jackets, and other designs by featuring vintage-looking materials, dark color schemes, and irreverent motifs — think skulls, bones, and metal studs to bring out your inner punk. Between the flagship label John Varvatos Collection and the more playful secondary line John Varvatos Star USA, one can find everything from aviator sunglasses and wayfarers, sterling silver jewelry, shearling caps, and fingerless cashmere gloves, to oxidized suede duffel bags, calfskin chukka boots, and stylish fedoras. And of course we can't forget Converse John Varvatos — the designer's successful collaboration with the popular footwear brand — which has produced dozens of downtown-cool reinterpretations of the classic Chuck Taylor All-Star and the Jack Purcell low-top. Since launching his flagship clothing line in 2000, Varvatos has earned three CFDA awards, created the youthful secondary line John Varvatos USA Star, and received accolades from the likes of Slash and ex-Led Zeppelin lead singer Robert Plant (which surely matter to him just as much as any industry honor).

Vocalist Peabo Bryson was among the premier silky-voiced soul artists who emerged as the softer, more sophisticated urban contemporary sound became dominant in the '70s and '80s. Bryson, who was born in Greenville, SC, sang with Al Freeman & the Upsetters in 1965, and was in the group Moses Dillard & the Tex-Town Display from 1968 to 1973. He was a producer and composer for Atlanta's Bang Records in the early '70s, and sang in Michael Zager's Moon Band. His self-titled, debut LP and several singles were recorded for Bang's subsidiary company Bullet, among them "Do It with Feeling," "Underground Music," "It's Just a Matter of Time," "Just Another Day," and "I Can Make It Better." All were moderate R&B hits. Bryson moved to Capitol in 1978, where his first album, Reaching for the Sky, went gold, and the title track was a number six R&B hit. He remained in the Moon Band until 1979, departing after "I'm So Into You" spent two weeks as the nation's number two R&B hit in 1978. Bryson continued a prolific career, both as lead act and duet participant. He made hit duets with Natalie Cole, Roberta Flack, Melissa Manchester, and Regina Belle. Bryson recorded for Capitol until 1984, when he switched to Elektra, and enjoyed more success with "If Ever You're in My Arms Again." He moved to Columbia in 1991, issuing Can You Stop the Rain; subsequent efforts included 1994's Through the Fire and 1999's Unconditional Love. He also enjoyed more acclaim making duets with Belle. In 2007, he incorporated the smooth jazz sound into his comeback album Missing You. ~ Ron Wynn

While Fire first teamers Sean Johnson, Marco Pappa and Orr Barouch all take to the field for their national sides Wednesday, another player in the club will be part of an international friendly as well.
Meet Reid Strain. A member of the 2012 Chicago Fire U18 Youth Academy side that went 26-1-1 en route to the 2012 U.S. Club Soccer National Championship, the Barrington, Ill. product has joined the Puerto Rican national team for Wednesday's friendly against Spain in Bayamon.
Eligible for Puerto Rico through his mother, Strain missed the U18 Youth Academy's run at last month's U.S. Club Soccer National championships after being called up for the territory's U-20 CONCACAF World Championship qualifying matches.
"He was very reluctant to play for the U-20 Puerto Rican national team when he got the call up last month," said Chicago Fire U18 Youth Academy head coach Paul Cadwell. "He didn't want to miss the national championships with his Fire team so it took some talking to him from his parents and from myself to encourage him to not miss such an opportunity."
In those games, the forward tallied two goals, both game winners, in 2-0 victories over Barbados and Bermuda. A 0-0 draw in the group finale vs. Haiti pushed Puerto Rico to a second-place finish on goal difference but advanced the side to the final round of CONCACAF's Caribbean U-20 Finals – the first time a Puerto Rican team has made it out of its qualifying group in and youth tournament.
The finals will be played November 3-11 in Jamaica and with his role in the previous matches as well as being the only uncapped player called up for Wednesday's friendly vs. Spain, it's a good bet Strain will play a part.
Why haven't we heard more of Strain until now?
"Unfortunately, Reid has been plagued by an ankle injury the last 18 months," said U18 Youth Academy Head Coach Paul Cadwell. It's one of the reasons he didn't make our Fall [U.S. Soccer Development] Academy team. We didn't get the ability to get a good look at him but he's a great youth player for us this season. He has shown the ability to score a variety of goals."
I'm very proud of Reid at having the opportunity to play against the world's number one team is a dream. Whether he sees the field or not, just the fact that he is going be listed in a squad that plays the current world and European champions is something that he will never forget."
Former Fire forward Brian McBride is stepping back out of retirement tomorrow as he lines up for ninth-tier English side Wembley FC in the aptly named "Extra Preliminary Round" of the 2012/13 F.A. Cup.
In a move sponsored by Budweiser, the legendary American striker who played for Fulham, Everton and Preston North End will lineup with the likes of fellow former English Premier League stars Martin Keown, Ray Parlour, Claudio Caniggia and Graeme Le Saux as Wembley opens up Cup play against Langford FC Saturday morning. Fans can watch the match LIVE on Facebook beginning at 6:45am CT
The game marks the second time McBride has "stepped out of retirement" to take to the field in England. Last year the former Fire forward lined up with fellow American Brad Friedel and the New York Cosmos to play in Paul Scholes Testimonial match at Old Trafford in Manchester last summer.
Check out the full read on Brian's return to English football from Avi Creditor at Soccer By Ives
With his equalizer in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Toronto FC, Fire midfielder Marco Pappa moved into a tie for fourth on the club's all-time regular season goals list with former captain Peter Nowak at 26.
Throughout his time with the Fire, the Guatemalan international has quietly moved up the goal chart, bagging more than half of his goals (14) in the last 18 months.
Sitting eighth at the start of 2012, Pappa began his ascendency up the chart this season by tying Nate Jaqua at 21 goals with his "Olimipico" on April 28 vs. Seattle. A week later, his late game-winner at Chivas moved him into a three-way tie for fifth with Damani Ralph and Dema Kovalenko at 22.
Pappa took over fifth place with another game-winner vs. Dallas on May 23 and built towards Nowak with goals vs. Columbus (June 23) at Sporting KC (June 29) before tying the former Polish international Saturday night.
Sitting six goals back of Josh Wolff at third place on the list (32), I pose this question: Can Marco pass Josh with 12 matches remaining in the 2012 campaign?
While Pappa has never scored more than eight goals in one single campaign, it's important to also note that he's never had six this early in a season.
History could be construed to be on Pappa's side in this quest as well as he's tallied 11 career goals against the team's remaining opponents and has scored two goals each against the likes of D.C. United (who the Fire still play twice), Toronto FC, Sporting KC and Red Bull New York.
Two of those remaining 12 games also come against the two worst defenses in Major League Soccer in Montreal (43 goals conceded) and Toronto FC again (40). All he needs is six to tie…
What becomes more evident with Pappa is the team's success rate when he finds the back of the net. Marco has tallied 26 goals in 23 matches and the team has earned points in 19 of those games, winning 13. Over the course of his time with the Men in Red, the Fire have only lost four times when he's tallied, once in each season since 2009.
With the team already losing a match in which he's scored this season, you can tie a lot to wanting to see Marco hit at least for six more goals before the end of the campaign.
So what do you think, can Marco do it? Vote to the right and comment below to give me your thoughts...
When I think of Gonzalo Segares, the first thing that comes to mind is a tough tackle followed by a yellow card. The Costa Rican international has definitely done well to carry on the tradition of hard-nosed Fire defenders like C.J. Brown, Lubos Kubik and Francis Okaroh.
Deep down though, Gonzalo is one of the classiest guys on the team and one with a definite sweet tooth. In that spirit we took him on a field trip to Molly's Cupcakes in Lincoln Park (2536 N. Clark) to get a feel for what it takes to make one of life's fine delicacies.
Watch his escapade below and be sure to visit Molly's this month to purchase the Chicago Fire Velvet Swirl cupcake. When you do, one dollar from every purchase goes to benefit the Chicago Fire Foundation!
As I'm sure you've come to realize the last week, picking a Top 15 list for this club is a daunting task. Weighing personal accomplishments along with how the team did during a players tenure and how that player represented the badge – let's just say you can enter everything you want into an Excel Spreadsheet and you'll still change your mind 43 different times.
Luckily for everyone else voting, your ballot is private, so you don't have to worry about excluding someone very deserving, or even someone you see on a daily basis.
After much deliberation, here are my public picks for the Top 15 Fire players of all time.
DISCLAIMER – These are my own picks and do not necessarily reflect voting trends or the ballots of other voters.
#15 Frank Klopas (1998-99) – Though Frank played only two seasons for the Fire, he was part of the original group that wore the badge with pride. His "Golden Goal" in the 1998 U.S. Open Cup Final started the club's tradition of success in the tournament and few players have meant as much to the club as Frank as reflected by being chosen second into the Ring of Fire back in 2004.
#14 Hristo Stoitchkov (2000-02) – Stoitchkov only won one trophy in Chicago, following up Frank's '98 Golden Goal with the game-winner in the 2000 U.S. Open Cup Final. A world renowned star, when the Mad Bulgarian came to Chicago, he reinforced the spirit of the hardworking, win-at-all cost teams that the Fire became known for early on in the league. With 24 goals and 22 assists in just 70 competitive matches, Stoitchkov was on the score sheet in some form 66% of the time during his Fire stay.
#13 Gonzalo Segares (2005-present) - Segares is one of the few true left backs the Fire have ever had and most of the reason for that is the fact that he's locked down the position for half the club's existence. One of only three players on the current roster to win a trophy with the club, Segares sits behind only Lubos Kubik for most offense produced by a defender and seems destined to become just the eighth player in club history to hit 200 competitive appearances before season's end.
#12 Logan Pause (2003-present) – The current club captain, Logan Pause stands as the club's connection to the near treble winning year of 2003. A hard-working midfielder that's modeled himself after the likes of Chris Armas and Jesse Marsch, Pause has been a constant in the Fire lineup the past 10 seasons, even going to play at right back when needed. Though lacking in offensive achievements, Pause has been a part of three title winning teams and sits second behind only C.J. Brown on the club's all-time appearance list at 291 games played.
#11 Jesse Marsch (1998-05) – Like Gutierrez, Marsch combined with Armas, Pause and others throughout the years to make the Fire midfield an undesirable place for opponents. Never accuse of being the most skilled, Marsch was always smart on the ball while quietly tallying 23 goals (9th all-time) and 32 assists (6th all-time) on his way to winning five of six of the club's domestic titles.
#10 Chris Rolfe (2005-09; 2012-present) – The highest on the list of the current Fire roster, Rolfe became the club's second all-time leading goal scorer before leaving for Denmark at the end of 2009. That feat is even more impressive when you consider a lot of games saw him playing out of position on the right wing and he never tallied 10 goals in a season. The two goals since his return have him at 41 but it will take a while for him to catch Ante Razov at 95…
#9 DaMarcus Beasley (2000-04) – One of the most fouled players in MLS during four and a half seasons in Chicago, Beasley provided speed and constant danger to aid the likes of Razov, Peter Nowak, Josh Wolff and Damani Ralph. A winner of three domestic titles with the Fire, his stats (134 GP, 18 goals, 28 assists) would be much higher had he not left for PSV Eindhoven midway through 2004.
#8 Cuauhtemoc Blanco (2007-09) – The only player on my Top 15 list that never won a trophy in Chicago, Blanco proved those wrong that anticipated him viewing MLS as a retirement league. The legendary Mexican midfielder tallied 19 goals and 28 assists in his 77 appearances for the Fire (61% conversion rate) and led the team to three consecutive Eastern Conference finals as well as the 2009 SuperLiga championship match.
#7 Carlos Bocanegra (2000-03) – Boca's case is very similar to that of Beasley's in that his stats and accomplishments would likely be much greater if he hadn't left for Fulham after 2003. Still, Boca was the 2000 Rookie of the Year, two-time MLS Defender of the Year and Best XI selections (2002-03) along with three domestic titles. There are few defenders all-time in MLS that have been quite as dominant as Carlos Bocanegra was in his time with the Fire.
#6 Lubos Kubik (1998-00) – The backbone of the 1998 double-winning team, Kubik won MLS Defender of the Year that season and was likely one of the few MLS defenders more dominant than Bocanegra during his three seasons in Chicago. The third inductee into the Ring of Fire, Kubik also holds the distinction of being the most offensive defender in club history, tallying 19 goals and 25 assists in 88 matches.
#5 Zach Thornton (1998-2006) – One of only three players to be part of all six domestic championship teams, Thornton beat out Jorge Campos to win the starting job during his first season in Chicago. He holds the distinction of holding most of the club's goalkeeping records and is one of Major League Soccer's top goalkeepers of all-time.
#3 Ante Razov (1998-2004) – What can you say about a guy that nearly scored 100 goals in a Fire uniform? Having tallied double-digit goals in five of his seven seasons in Chicago, Razov's offensive achievements with the Fire (95 goals, 51 assists in 196 games) match up with anyone else's in Major League Soccer. Despite his incredible scoring record, Razov was just once named to the MLS Best XI (2003) and All-Star Game (2000).
#2 Chris Armas (1998-2007) – A revelation of sorts when he joined Chicago via trade from LA in 1998, Armas epitomized the work ethic and attitude that would come to be known from Fire teams in years to come. His play in Chicago helped him carve out a place with the U.S. Men's National Team and if not for a devastating injury, would have taken part in at least one FIFA World Cup. Despite being known as the ultimate destroyer in midfield, Armas quietly racked up 53 assists, good enough for second on the club's all-time list. The club's second captain, Armas was a five-time MLS Best XI selection, four-time all-star and is one of seven members of the Ring of Fire.
#1 Peter Nowak (1998-02) – I hope there was little doubt that Nowak would always be the number one choice. The first captain in club history, it was the former Polish international that often times put the team on his shoulders during the early seasons. The only player in Fire history that can claim an MLS Cup MVP award, Nowak is the club's all-time leader in assists with 60, a three-time Chicago Fire MVP and MLS Best XI selection and the original inductee in the club's Ring of Fire.

Happy birthday to Fire midfielder Pavel Pardo who's still going strong in the middle of the park for the Chicago Fire. Today also happens to be the one-year anniversary of el Presidente joining the club.
Coming off the heels of the succesful canoli for Paolo Tornaghi's birthday last month, we at the Fire presented Pavel with a piñata before training this morning.
Always the professional, the longtime Mexican international looked at the gift, smiled and said, "I'll take it home for the kids."
Win-win for everyone!
¡Feliz cumpleaños Pavel!
A midday, midweek match in mid-July Jersey humidity doesn't seem like the greatest idea in the world but, that's what will occur Wednesday afternoon as the Fire visit the New York Red Bulls in Harrison, New Jersey.
While the kickoff time gives the game a bit of a Chicago Cubs at Wrigley feel, I did a non-scientific survey of Fire players Monday to see if they'd ever played a game of significance in the middle of a week day.
Cory Gibbs: "No."
Corben Bone: "No."
Austin Berry: "No."
Jalil Anibaba: "No."
Though the topics couldn't be more different, the responses put together began to sound like a certain Amy Winehouse song.
Fire captain Logan Pause came to the rescue with this answer, "Midweek, midday? Maybe in youth soccer. I don't think in college we even played midweek games in the middle of the day so I'm sure Wednesday will be a first for most of the guys."
Part of that is likely because playing in the middle of the day in summer heat doesn't necessarily make for good soccer. For those wondering why the kickoff is set for 12pm CT (1pm local time), the Red Bulls are going back to experiment with a "Camp Day" looking to attract summer camps to Red Bull Arena Wednesday afternoon.
As this article from BigAppleSoccer.com's Michael Lewis points out, it's something the team's precursor, the MetroStars, did in a match against Kansas City back in 2003. The result for the Wizards Jimmy Conrad and the Metros Edgar Bartholomeu weren't great
Luckily for both sides Red Bull Arena's grass field is not the Giant's Stadium turf, which should make things a little bit cooler in a match that is absolutely considered a "swing game" with the Fire sitting just one point behind New York in the Eastern Conference standings.
"Wednesday is obviously an important game despite the weird time and whatever heat we have to deal with," said Pause. "Either way, the way our schedule goes through the summer – midweek, weekend -- I honestly lose track of the days."
PREVIEW: Fire vs. Red Bulls
Happy 17th anniversary American soccer fans!
No the Fire haven't been around that long but 17 years ago today, the United States pulled off one of the biggest upsets in team history, downing Argentina 3-0 at Copa America '95 in Paysandu, Uruguay. The upset propelled the U.S. to the top of Group C on the final day of pool play, en route to an unprecedented fourth place finish at the tournament.
The #PickPat for #MLSAllStar campaign got a huge boost Thursday night as CSN Chicago's Dave Kaplan joined the #PickPat caucus during his interview with Austin Berry on Chicago Tribune Live (WATCH HERE).
You might remember when we started the campaign Monday, I pointed to Kaplan's endorsement of the White Sox #TakeJake campaign as a point of jealousy. Thanks to Dave Kaplan for coming through for us last night.
#PickPat made its way into Jack McCarthy's column for the Tribune as well as in RedEye while MLSsoccer.com's Anthony Zilis, Hot Time in Old Town's Tweed Thornton and Fire Confidential's Guillermo Rivera have helped us spread the word!
As a recap, I received confirmation Wednesday that All-Star Head Coach Ben Olsen did indeed read my open letter appealing for Patrick Nyarko to be named to the squad. We're also hoping that former Fire forward and All-Star assistant coach Josh Wolff will put in a word with Ben for Pat before Sunday's announcement.
On the Commissioner front, we haven't heard whether or not he's seen the letter but hoping this blog, our player's and Dave Kaplan's endorsement will force the issue.
Continue to do your part to make sure Patrick Nyarko is part of the #MLSAllStar squad by tweeting #PickPat to @TheSoccerDon and @DCUnited before the announcement at halftime of Sunday's match between the New York Red Bulls and Seattle Sounders on ESPN!
Yesterday I wrote an open letter to MLS All-Star head coach Ben Olsen asking him to consider selecting Patrick Nyarko for the 2012 MLS All-Star Game. I was told this morning Ben had indeed read the letter which is the most I could hope for in the matter. Thanks for your consideration Ben!
Now into the third day of the #PickPat campaign, this morning I took the deep plunge in writing another open letter, this time to MLS Commissioner Don Garber to ask for his consideration of Patrick as one of the two "Commissioner's Picks" for this month's match vs. Chelsea FC.
Here's what I said...
Dear Commissioner Garber,
Though there's no way you remember, I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Chicago Fire Season Kickoff Luncheon in 2011. Fire owner Andrew Hauptman graciously pulled me over and introduced me as "the man who knows all things about our club". Surely he might have been exaggerating a bit but I do pride myself on my ability to name our Top 15 goal scorers by total, in reverse order, without skipping a beat.
It's in that spirit that I come to you with a request: select Patrick Nyarko as one of your two "Commissioner's picks" for this month's MLS All-Star Game against Chelsea FC.
As Commissioner you've accomplished a lot -- modern day statisticians and soccer purists hold you in high regard for abolishing the hockey-style shootout while the businessmen and marketers of the league praise your name for the push of soccer-specific stadia and Designated Players.
Pat's not a DP and he's not even the biggest name in the Chicago Fire locker room so perhaps it wasn't all that surprising for him to not be included in the team's six nominees for this year's MLS All-Star fan voting. Anyone that has watched the team and Pat's play over the past three seasons will tell you he's likely been the club's most consistent performer, shredding defenses with his speed, ability on the ball and excellent work rate.
With that in mind, it was considered quite a coup for the club to re-sign Patrick earlier this year as he would have easily been a target of European sides once his contract expired at season's end.
While I made the statistical and playing case to MLS All-Star head coach Ben Olsen Tuesday, today I point to Patrick's dedication to the club and the league as a reason you should consider him for one of your Commissioner's picks for the All-Star game.
The DP's of the league will certainly help sell tickets, merchandise and TV rights but players of Pat's ability and ethic are the ones the league has always built its back on. His story alone is a great one but his ability to come in and improve every day and be a positive force on and off the field is a great advertisement for our club as well as Major League Soccer.
In the past your choices for the All-Star game have sometimes been about making sure a certain name is present but you've also selected players deserving players that have been overlooked.
I can think of no one better that Patrick that falls in to the second category of recognition and ask you to strongly consider to #PickPat on Sunday for this year's MLS All-Star Game.
Yours in Soccer,
Jeff Crandall
Chicago Fire Team Writer

I have the 4G Samsung Droid Charge and I have horrible coverage! It is so frustrating. Even with WiFi, the apps stop constantly because of the poor coverage. We even have that $200 antenna that is supposed to extend our coverage. My husband has the GZone Commando and his phone has excellent coverage sitting right next to mine. There has to be something I can do. Anytime I try to play a game or do anything, the apps close. Is anyone else having issues with the Charge? I would love to get some suggestions for fixing this.
<Post moved to the DROID Charge by Samsung from the My Device for more exposure.>

If you have GB 2.3.6 and the latest FP1 software update reboot your phone THREE times in a row. It has helped others and it is easy to try..
I will try this. How often do I have to do this? I really wonder if we are sacrificing the antenna for the other options. My work phone is just an old flip phone and it has full bars sitting right next to this Charge. I work in a metal building so I try to cut the phone a little slack but the flip phone still has full bars in 3G and this smartphone shows 3G instead of 4G and it has a couple of bars.
I reset it 3 times and I still have only 3G and a couple of bars.
I'll try it again tonight at home.

Thanks Ann 154! I was sending the replies from e-mail so I assumed it was going directly to that person - I didn't realize it was posting back out here. Thanks for having my back...
Hello bucsdk,
Thank you for the post. I totally understand expecting to get good service when you purchase an extender. Since your husband is getting service, it sounds like this is an issue with your device. Do you only have service issues in your home area? Has it always been this way? I will provide you the steps for safe mode and a hard reset. These would be the first steps to resolve your device issue.
Safe Mode: http://bit.ly/n2EIBZ
Hard Reset: http://bit.ly/w21WpW
Thank you!

I assume that three reboots did not help so here is another very easy thing to try before you do a factory reset.
Plug your Charge phone into the charger. Let it charge for 10 minutes or more and then try it but KEEP it plugged into the charger while you run your APPs.
Did this help.
When I stream movies or play games at work, it is on the charger the whole time. I ran that speed test this morning and this is what I got – I think this is the problem –
WiFi (at home) – Download: 4919 kbps, Upload: 4193 kbps and Ping: 46 ms
Verizon Network (at work) – Download: 1181 kbps, Upload: 122 kbps and Ping: 164 ms
Wow - I just ran it again at work so it's the Verizon Network and this is what I got:
"Network communication issues"
and again:
download: 4 kbps, Upload: 34 kbps and Ping: 207 ms
I'm using speedtest.net
What should it be if I want to play games and stream movies?
Last night the game I was playing stopped and had to be restarted 8 times in 15 minutes.
Thanks for your help.
What are your speedtest results outside of your work building? The construction of the building could be interfering with the signal.
Here are the results right outside the door:
Download: 3632 kbps
Upload: 1704 kbps
Ping: 127 ms
And outside between the buildings:
Download: 3589 kbps
Upload: 1632
Ping: 136 ms
What should they be? I just don't think Verizon has good coverage in this area and about 5 blocks around our house is terrible too. I hardly ever see the 4G symbol…

I purchased two of these jackets from Moosejaw a few years ago and have been really happy with them ever since. They are perfect for Northwest weather although they don't really keep the rain out after a while. But, good quality and would recommend to anyone looking for a light weight fleece.
Love this jacket, very light weight but does a great job of cutting the winter wind out. I don't like bulky coats so will use this as my winter jacket, I prefer to layer with thermals or cold gear. I have a large and am 5'10'', longer on top. I usually have problems with length of sleeves and the bottom being too short, but this jacket fits perfect with just enough room to stretch out and layer underneath.
I love this jacket! I bought it for my boyfriend and he loved it! It is one of the warmest jackets and his favorite one out of all of the ones he has! Perfect for all weather types without having to wear a huge coat! I would recommend this!
My son-in-law isn't picky at all, so I figured this would be an easy Christmas gift. I stupidly ordered a size small rather than an XL, so unfortunately, I have to return it. Nevertheless, it's still a nice jacket and well priced.
I bought this jacket for my husband for Christmas. It is so versatile. He is a professional but this jacket is nice enough that he can wear it to work everyday. He can also wear it out for dinner or just throw it on while running to the store. It is light but keeps you warm. No bulky coat but still get the same result. It is so sleek and looks great on him. It was a great purchase!
Cha Ching! This a puppy is the boss! Great for all temps and oh yes shuts the wind down like a champ! True to size and of all the north face jackets you can get this one holds up to its claims. I own 6 diff NF jackets and this is in the top 2.
Another quality North Face product. Great spring and fall coat and even into the winter. Not bulky at all so great for layering under shell on cold days. Definitely blocks the wind, so nice when wind blows and you barely notice. Size is true.
I have had a black Windwall Jacket for about a year now and wear it any time it is not T shirt weather. I have worn it hiking, fishing, downhill skiing and kayaking on quiet water. I wear it over T-shirts, under my Patagonia rain jacket and under my North Face ski jacket. Great for layering or over a long sleeved T in place of a fleece. It really does block the wind all by itself but is light weight enough that it can be worn with all kinds of other stuff. I highly recommend this jacket. (and it seems to clean up easily too)

How to Convert VOB to MP4 (or MP4 to VOB) in Mac/ Windows
How to make .ifo .vob to mp4 on mac? So i was wondering how to make files such as .bup, .ifo, .vob to a mp4 on mac. Is there a free program that can make them convert?
I want to convert mpeg4 to vob files so that I can view it on my DVD player on the TV set. I have seen lot of DVD's in the Market which although has a capacity of 4.3 GB can store 3-4 Hind movies and even more.
If you have a VOB video file that you have ripped from a DVD, you can't transfer and play it on an iPod or iPhone in VOB format. The iOS device uses an MP4 (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) file format for playing videos, so you must convert the VOB to MP4 format. Or you have a lot of MP4 videos on your Mac, and want to get these video into a format where it can be burned onto a DVD and watched with a DVD player, then you need to convert videos in MP4 to VOB format.
Today we'll take a look at Video Converter for Mac, a lean, user-friendly and incredibly versatile media file conversion application. Apart from converting VOB to MP4 on Mac and MP4 to VOB well. It also supports encoding more common formats like MKV, MP4, AVI, MTS, FLV, WMV, MPEG, MOV, etc. with perfect output quality and high conversion speed. For encoding VOB to MP4 on a Windows PC, please use Video Converter for Windows.
It's important to note that VOB files on DVD are sometimes encrypted. If you can't decrypt and rip DVD movies to MP4, please use DVD Ripper.
The following article is a guide shows you how to convert VOB to MP4 format on Mac OS X. Do in the same way, if you want to transfer MP4 to VOB conversion. Basically the steps are this easy:
Step 1: Load VOB Files to the Program
Click "Add File" button to open the file browser window and navigate to the VOB files you would like to convert. Or directly drag-and-drop files to the interface of this VOB to MP4 converter for Mac.
The app also supports batch conversion, which allows you to import and convert multiple VOB video files at the same time.
Step 2: Encoding Settings (using presets if need)
Choose the video format under "Profile" drop-down menu that you want your video to be converted to. Here we select MP4 as output file format.
The Mac VOB to MP4 video converter includes ready presets to convert video for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android phones, tablets, game consoles, and other portable media players, etc. Here you can choose a preset from the Preset list and it will automatically setup all the required settings.
Although many of the presets are targeted at Apple devices, they may well work fine on competitor devices also.
Edit VOB files (optional)
If you want to make your video more sharable,you can utilize the editing capabilities to trim sections out of your video clips, crop the video frame to get the desired part, split your video clips into small clips, change video effect, rotate videos, adjus the video brightness, contrast and saturation, etc,. Get more details with Video Converter for Mac user guide.
Step 3: Start converting VOB to MP4 on Mac OS X
After all the settings, now, just click the 'Convert' button to start conversion process.
Wait for the application to transform the VOB to MP4 (MPEG-4) video. The conversion times will be anywhere from a few minutes to many hours, depending on the file size and length of the VOB file you imported.

Congressman Confirms Army Will Stop Poisoning Monkeys in Chemical Weapons Training
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Army will soon stop poisoning live vervet monkeys in chemical weapons training exercises, the nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has learned from the office of Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, an outspoken Congressional opponent of the practice.
At Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, the Army currently uses live vervet monkeys in exercises meant to teach trainees how to treat patients exposed to nerve agents. In August PCRM filed a legal complaint against this use of animals, urging the Department of Defense to halt the shipment of additional monkeys for use in these demonstrations. Despite the complaint, 20 more monkeys were recently shipped to Aberdeen.
But in a recent meeting with Rep. Bartlett, generals from Ft. Detrick and Aberdeen Proving Ground confirmed that the Department of Defense will soon end the use of monkeys in these exercises.
"I congratulate the military on moving away from the cruel, ineffective method of poisoning monkeys to try to teach medical personnel about nerve agent exposure," says John J. Pippin, M.D., F.A.C.C., director of academic affairs for PCRM. "Military medical professionals should be fully prepared to cope with a chemical weapons attack, and the best training involves human-patient simulators and other high-tech methods."
A military chemical casualty training video obtained by PCRM through the Freedom of Information Act shows a vervet monkey spasming violently after being given a toxic dose of physostigmine, a drug that can cause seizures, difficulty breathing, and sometimes death.
Nonanimal methods are more effective. Researchers with the Israel Defense Forces Medical Corps and Israel's Carmel Medical Center, for example, have developed a nonanimal training curriculum for the medical management of patients exposed to nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.
For an interview with a medical expert or a copy of the legal complaint, contact Jeanne McVey at 202-527-7316 or email@example.com.
Founded in 1985, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a nonprofit health organization that promotes preventive medicine, conducts clinical research, and encourages higher standards for ethics and effectiveness in research.

Meet the Team
Colin Jeffery is the afternoon anchor for the KTRS News Team. He joined KTRS in March 2012. His top priority in covering the news is to provide objective and balanced coverage of the events in the St. Louis area. Colin was born in Houston, Texas, but spent most of his childhood in Phoenix, Arizona. He came to St. Louis to attend Washington University. While working his way through college, he met his wife, a St. Louis native. Together they have one child, a little girl. Colin grew up playing baseball, but without a major league team for most his time in Arizona, he has adopted the Cardinals as a hometown team. In his free time, Colin enjoys playing golf. catching up on his favorite TV shows, and taking walks with his wife.
Michael Golde is the primary news reporter at KTRS. He can be heard throughout the week covering various newsworthy events around the St. Louis area. Golde's first reporting assignment at KTRS was broadcasting live during the 2010 midterm elections. Since then, he has covered stories that include severe weather, crime scenes, parades, press conferences, and everything in between. Golde achieved national recognition, specifically within the baseball community, for breaking the story of Jaime Garcia's 4-year contract extension with the St. Louis Cardinals. Golde was born and raised in St. Louis. He grew up in Olivette and both sides of his family have extensive roots in the St. Louis community. Golde has been a Cardinals fan for as long as he can remember, and his all-time favorite non-broadcasting job was giving tours of the old Busch Stadium. Unfortunately, Golde's baseball career was cut short following his sophomore year of high school when his coaches discovered that he lacked physical talent. Golde plays competitive table tennis in his spare time. His favorite television shows (in order) are The Wire, The Sopranos, Deadwood, and Mad Men.
Michael Golde is 2010 Broadcast Center graduate. He also attended the University of Missouri and Indiana University. He is a 2001 graduate of Ladue Horton Watkins High School in St. Louis.

2006 BMW M3 Coupe
ProsSharp, Reliable, Fun to drive ConsSMG is too hard, The car is a bit noisy
Bmw M3 E46 — Acceleration is insanely fast. Braking hasn't been a problem with this car. The car is very tight around corners but sometimes a bit hard. Build quality is pretty good. There haven't been many problems with the car. However, repairs on this car, especially because of how old it is are expensive. Just for the 50k mile checkup it cost 2 grand. This car is definitely fun to drive and its a very uncommon car to see in my area Primary Use: Family transportation

A Blast To Drive And Easy To Live With — As a whole the car is great it has plenty of get up and go and looks good while doing it.

Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2006 BMW M3 Coupe
Prosbest bang for the buck Consbetter have a lot of bucks
Great Car For A Everyday Use That Is Still Able To Turn In Speeds Over 170 — Overall a very capable car. Though in corners it reminds one that its suspension is still from the standard 3 series. The build quality is lacking as there are many complaints on the rear subframe failure. Also the interior B and C pillars fabric is known to fall off. The rear deck rattles with too much bass or on rough roads. The alt will fail at around 40K. The cats often fail around the 50K-60K mark. The engine requires specific oil 10/60 that is only available from the dealer. The styling of the car still turns heads though the last model is 4 years old. While the first model is 8 years old. The S54 is a great engine and the Getrag trans is a good transmission though is often picky when selecting gears 1-3 often amplified in cold weather . Fun factor is still a 8 out of 10. I would buy again Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2006 BMW M3 Coupe
ProsGreat performance with awesome handling ConsHard ride
Hard To Beat A M3 — Very fast & forgiving car. It handles like a dream. My second M3, can't see how any other car can measure up to it. Not the most comfortable ride, but if you just care to be comfortable, stay on the couch or just buy a Lexus. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2006 BMW M3 Coupe
ProsEverything except the negitives listed below. ConsExpensive parts and oils, exterior door handles can be tricky, doors close a little to noisy, expensive to replace rear tires from burnouts and donuts.
E46 Bmw M3 2006 — Performance – 10 of 10 (350hp with additional mods) Build Quality – 9 of 10 (SOLID and premium materials used) Appearance – 10 of 10 (With additional add-ons) Cost of Ownership – 8 of 10 (Expensive oil 10W60) Fun Factor – 10 of 10 (FUN FUN FUN!!!!) Best vehicle i have ever driven and owned!! |
2006 BMW M3 Coupe
ProsGreat all round car. ConsFront disc breaks moaned and shuddered under hardish breaking
Bmw M3 Smg — Great performance and handling sports car with all the creature comforts one could want or need in a day to day car. The SMG gearbox took some getting used to, but seemed to work well. Although the gear change when set on super fast was somewhat rough. I never tried out the launch control which apparantly worked like a bomb, killed your rear tyres though. I did switch off the traction control to get her sideways on many occations which took a few km off the tyres as well. Really miss her. |
2006 BMW M3 Convertible
Prosamazing Constoo much money to fix!!
M3 — I love it. The M series is the best BMW ever made. The handling and appearance is amazing! I wouldn't trade my car for any other car. Unless it was a newer one! I just love to drive it. I'm always in it, and my friends love it too! The only bad thing about BMW is they only last for about 10 years until they need costly repairs. BMW needs to work on that! |

Here Comes the Bridal Shower!
I have some bridal shower shopping tips that will make shower season a breeze. Wedding season is fast approaching and soon your mailbox will be over flowing with invites to bridal showers. Confused about what to get the future "Mrs."? I'm here to help. When choosing a bridal shower gift it is always best to stick with the bridal registry. If she isn't registered, find out if the shower has a central theme such as eco-friendly, or everything for the kitchen and get ideas from there. Personalizing bridal shower gifts is always a nice touch, but make sure the bride is changing her last name before you monogram anything!
Here are my favorite gift ideas for the bride to be that are sure to make her smile, even during the stressful days leading up to her wedding.
Always select gifts that reflect the bride's personality or lifestyle.
1. Give the hostess a stylish serving piece for hors d'oeuvres at any event she throws. My recommendations are beautiful serving trays or appetizer plates.
2. For the classic bride silver picture frames, beautiful china or monogrammed linens will be appreciated. When selecting colors make sure to select something neutral such as crème. Only select colors if you know the bride's taste level and the colors in their home.
3. For the bride who loves to entertain get them something fun and useful. An espresso machine or a set of beautiful stemware glasses are luxurious additions to their home that they can use for any party or table for two.
4. For the bride who needs everything, choose new home essentials such as cookware, bake ware, kitchen appliances & bath accessories.
5. A spa gift certificate, luggage set or a donation to her favorite charity are some of my favorite ideas for the non-traditional bride.
Check out the rest of our bridal shower gift ideas for more inspiration.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Overdue improvements at the Metro 911 communications center aim to make life a little easier for dispatchers.
Older consoles that were installed in the Ned Chilton 911 Center off Corridor G when it opened in 2005 hold dispatchers' computer monitors, radios and telephones. They could be raised or lowered by hydraulic lifts to allow dispatchers to either sit or stand while they worked.
But over the years, the consoles had fallen into disrepair.
Dispatchers work in 12-hour shifts at the communications center but the consoles are used 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, said Capt. Mike Fannin, a dispatcher at Metro.
"This was something that was needed and will definitely make our jobs a little easier," Fannin said.
He said sitting for hours on end takes a toll on dispatchers and that they often stand up for a period while taking emergency calls. Standing up also allows dispatchers to make eye contact with other dispatchers across the room if they need assistance.
With the hydraulic lifts working, dispatchers can use the controls on the side of the console to raise it to nearly four feet high, said John Rutherford, Metro 911's interim director and Kanawha Sheriff-elect.
He said he stepped into the dispatch center one evening when dispatchers were handling incoming calls concerning a large fire and directing first responders at the scene. Police and paramedics accompanied firefighters at the blaze.
The dispatchers, he said, were standing so that they could make eye contact and communicate with each other to coordinate the response. But they also had to bend to type in information.
