Yorkville's trail system exists in several developments including Autumn Creek, Bristol Bay, Fox Hill, Grande Reserve, Heartland, Heartland Circle, Raintree Village, and Windett Ridge. As Yorkville grows, the trails will connect existing and future developments providing a network on alternative transportation routes.
The City Council has voted to fund trail construction on Route 47 and Route 71 through IDOT's roadway construction of those highways. IDOT will pay 80% of the cost and the City will pay 20% of the cost. The City Council voted to accept the $1.7 million Kennedy Road Illinois Transportation Enhancement Project Grant and a non-profit group Push for the Path has been established to raise the funds for the City's 20% of this project.
See the Community Development Department webpage for information on the Integrated Transportation Plan (ITP) which focuses on off-road transportation and our downtown design elements.
To meet the need for pedestrian paths, we are working with developers, road-improvement projects, and applying for grants to help fund trail projects. Please feel free to call City Hall 630.553.4350 with any questions

The Unforgiving Grand Canyon
In spite of its incredible grandeur, the Grand Canyon can be an unforgiving place. Between the swift waters of the Colorado River, the steep, rugged trails, and the convection oven-like temperatures that can strike in the summer months, the canyon can be a very dangerous place to venture.
That was evidenced earlier this summer when a 19-year-old woman apparently fell into the river during an overnight hike. A woman's body was found in the river almost two weeks after Iryna Shylo was reported missing, and the other day medical examiners confirmed the body was her's.
Last week another canyon visitor died while walking along the Bright Angel Trail below the South Rim. The 64-year-old Florida man was hiking alone when he collapsed about a mile beneath the rim near the Coconino Switchbacks. The cause of death has not yet been announced, nor have the man's name or home town.
Finally, rangers have discovered the skeletal remains of a man missing in the canyon since last September. The remains, found last week in a drainage off the Bright Angel Trail below the South Rim, have been identified as those of 46-year-old Randy Rogers of Phoenix.
Rogers had been staying at the Mather Campground when he vanished last fall. A large-scale search employing ground teams, helicopter overflights and dog teams was conducted at the time.
As these incidents, and the death of a woman in Zion National Park earlier this week, demonstrate, national parks can be pretty dangerous places. Be careful out there.

Ranking The 2007 Rookie Coaches
How did the new guys do?
Richard Cirminiello
- Ranking The 2006 Rookie
Head Coaches
Two dozen head coaches made their
debuts at campuses across the country in 2007. Although the results
were mixed, with three rookies finishing the season ranked in the Top 25
and nine participating in a bowl game, the challenges were similar; win
in a new town with someone else's recruits. Oh, and if you can generate
more fan interest and move the turnstiles, that'd be nice as well.
While a handful of coaches have made strong early impressions in their
first year on the job, others, such as Louisville's Steve Kragthorpe,
are already scrambling for answers before the start of another session
of spring practices.
Quick, get
this guy an extension
1. Brian Kelly,
Cincinnati – Everywhere Kelly goes, he wins, including last year's debut
in the Queen City. Taking over for Mark Dantonio and installing a very
different offense, Kelly was the catalyst of Cincinnati's first 10-win
team since 1951, capped by a win over Southern Mississippi in the
PapaJohns.com Bowl. Even more impressive, the Bearcats went from being
a national afterthought before the season to No. 17 in the final AP
poll, the school's first Top 25 finish in 120 years of playing
football. A no-nonsense coach, Kelly immediately left his mark on the
program, helping turn Cincy into one of the Big East's most prolific
offenses and disruptive defenses. Provided he sticks around long enough
to coach a few of his recruiting classes, Kelly has the tools to win
titles and get to BCS bowl games with this school.
2. Dennis Erickson, Arizona State – From the moment Erickson
arrived from the desert, the Sun Devils were never the same, playing
with more confidence and swagger, especially late in games, than at any
point during Dirk Koetter's tenure. Arizona State overshot preseason
expectations, winning 10 games for the first time in 11 years, finishing
tied with USC atop the Pac-10, and climbing as high as No. 6 in the
country before losing to Oregon on Nov. 3. No, the Sun Devils couldn't
handle their toughest opponents in 2007, including the Trojans and Texas
in the Holiday Bowl, but the positive shift in the program was
undeniable, and largely due to the presence of Erickson in Tempe.
3. Troy Calhoun, Air
Force – While the cupboard wasn't empty when Calhoun arrived from the
NFL, he did take over a program that had won just four games in each of
the last two seasons. He was also replacing Fisher DeBerry, a fading
head coach, but a legend in these parts, nonetheless. All Calhoun did
in his first head job was pilot the Air Force to a 9-4 record and an
improbable bowl game with Cal. Along the way, the Falcons upended Utah,
TCU, and Notre Dame for the first time since 1963. For his role in
turning around a program that was on life support, Calhoun was named
Mountain West Coach of the Year, while earning a raise and a contract
extension earlier this month.
4. Jeff Jagodzinski,
Boston College – Sure, Jagodzinski inherited a veteran-laden club with a
superb quarterback, but history shows that that guarantees nothing. He
took over a team that was on the periphery of the Top 25 before the
season, and led it to 11 wins for the first time in 67 years, an ACC
Atlantic Division title, and a No. 10 ranking in the final AP poll.
There were rookie mistakes along the way, but by and large, Jagodzinski
had the good sense to let his playmakers make plays, while not tinkering
too much with what worked when Tom O'Brien was in charge. How well he
performs without QB Matt Ryan will be a closely-watched development
around the Heights beginning in 2008.
5. Bill Lynch, Indiana – As if starting a new job isn't tough
enough, Lynch had to succeed on an interim basis Terry Hoeppner, who
succumbed to brain cancer before the start of the season. With no
blueprint how to handle such a difficult situation, he guided the
Hoosiers to their first bowl game since 1993, fulfilling Hoeppner's
dream of playing in a 13th game. Yeah, Indiana bombed in the
Insight Bowl, losing 49-33 to Oklahoma State, but by that point, Lynch
had already succeeded in landing a four-year contract through the 2011
season. Can he continue to lead IU up the ladder, or will the magic run
out when the emotion runs dry? Lynch earned a chance to answer that
question with last year's results.
6. Mark Dantonio,
Michigan State – The Spartans' seven wins were a high-water mark since
2003, but a bowl invitation told only part of the story in 2007.
Michigan State became the physical program that Dantonio desires,
running the ball with authority, never losing a game by more than a
touchdown, and playing very well in November, a nagging problem in East
Lansing. The defense made some strides and the offense scored a
school-record 430 points, more positive signs that the Spartans are
slowly emerging from their slumber. In less than a year, Dantonio
succeeded in improving the climate around the program, while guiding it
to a postseason game, just the kind of start he was after.
7. Todd Graham, Tulsa – In a season that was labeled by many to
be a rebuilding year, the Hurricane delivered 10 wins, the most lopsided
victory in bowl history, and a Conference USA West division title.
Graham's defense badly, a factor in all four losses, but his foresight
to hire offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn ended up saving the season.
Malzahn's hurry-up, no-huddle offense carried Tulsa all year, leading
the nation in total offense and averaging more than 40 points a game.
To some, Graham was a step down from Steve Kragthorpe, but after one
year, the Hurricane is thinking it may have traded up on the sidelines.
8. Butch Jones, Central Michigan – A complete unknown when he was
hired away from West Virginia, Jones began making a name for himself in
his first season in Mt. Pleasant. Considered an also-ran in the MAC
West and saddled with a 1-3 start, the Chippewas finished the regular
season 7-2 before losing to Purdue in the Motor City Bowl. They won the
MAC Championship for a second straight, squashing the notion that the
program would sink without head coach Brian Kelly and key parts on both
lines. Jones turned loose QB Dan LeFevour and the league's top-scoring
offense, nearly parlaying them into the head job in Morgantown after
Rich Rodriguez resigned.
You made
some progress…now build on it
9. Jim Harbaugh, Stanford – Beating No. 2 USC alone would have
been enough to land Harbaugh in the top half of this list. However, the
Cardinal also topped Arizona and rival Cal, unexpectedly climbing out of
the Pac-10 cellar and creating a positive buzz around The Farm.
Stanford cleared some hurdles in 2007, getting much tougher on defense
and gradually changing the culture on a campus that's grown accustomed
to losing. Oh, the losses still came, four in-a-row at one point, but
Harbaugh ushered in a clearer mindset and a new energy that was absent
under Buddy Teevens and Walt Harris. Now he has to raise the overall
talent level in Palo Alto to inch closer to being a factor when bowl
bids are dished out each December.
10. Derek Dooley, Louisiana Tech – In towns, such as Ruston, La.,
success is measured a little differently than in other places in the
country. Yes, the Bulldogs only went 5-7, but that was two games better
than a year ago and good enough for a fourth place tie in the WAC. Tech
finished the year 4-3, played for bowl eligibility in the finale, and
came closer than anyone to beating Hawaii in the regular season,
dropping a heartbreaker, 45-44. Interest in the program is up, as is
the level of talent thanks to better recruiting and a few imports from
the SEC. A Nick Saban disciple, Dooley has a bright future as a head
coach, and with one winning season, will be hotter than an eight-digit
bowl payout for athletic directors.
11. Nick Saban, Alabama – By the end of October, Saban was a
coaching god, having led an average Tide team to a 6-2 mark, a blowout
of Tennessee, and an unexpected spot in the Top 25. By the end Of
November, however, Saban was an overpaid nomad that couldn't solve
Auburn or the riddle that is Louisiana-Monroe football. Expect
hyperbole when it comes to Saban, one of the real lightning rod coaches
in all of America. For a time, it looked as if 'Bama was going to
author one of the red-letter stories of 2007 before reality and a lack
of offensive execution set in. The Tide did close with an Independence
Bowl win over Colorado, looking to be on track after just one season
with Saban in Tuscaloosa.
12. Tom O'Brien, NC State – The Wolfpack season was headed toward
a complete disaster by mid-October, but the program did the improbable,
reeling off four straight wins and playing for bowl eligibility in
November. Although State blew a shot at that bonus game, the
second-half rally was a good sign for a school that had a dearth of
talent compared to the rest of the league after injuries mounted and
enough reasons to pack it in after an ugly 1-5 start. Remember, O'Brien
lost seven games in his first two seasons with Boston College before
reeling off eight consecutive winning seasons and seven bowl wins
in-a-row. North Carolina State is banking on the coach to navigate a
similar path in Raleigh.
13. Butch Davis, North Carolina – To evaluate Davis properly in
his first season in Chapel Hill, you've got to look past the 4-8 record,
and measure some of the less tangible gains that'll pay dividends down
the road. The Tar Heels were far more competitive than in recent years,
increased the talent level everywhere, found a quarterback in T.J.
Yates, and made more noise on a national level. Nine of Carolina's
games were decided by seven points or less, including six losses, but
once the players learn how to win a few more nail-biters, the program
will be a bona fide threat in the ACC. Although there were overtures
from other schools, Davis appears committed to the Tar Heels, good news
for a rising program that played 28 freshmen in 2007.
14. Gene Chizik, Iowa State – A winner everywhere he's been as a
defensive coordinator, last season had to be a sobering experience for
Chizik. The Cyclones were abysmal in the early going, losing to Kent
State and Northern Iowa in the first two weeks, and winning just once in
eight tries. However, Iowa State never quit on the staff, playing
Oklahoma and Missouri tough, and beating Kansas State and Colorado in
successive weeks in November. A lack of speed, poor tackling and not
enough playmakers sunk the 'Clones, but a strong finish and the play of
a couple of freshmen, QB Austen Arnaud and RB Alexander Robinson, gave
the program a shot in the arm heading into the offseason.
We knew
your team would be bad…it was
15. Bob Toledo, Tulane – Although the Green Wave was an identical
4-8 from last season, it did make modest strides, scoring more points
and yielding fewer than in 2006. Plus, the program got better as the
season wound down, finishing 3-3 and in a respectable third place tie in
Conference USA West. Out of junior Anthony Scelfo and sophomore Kevin
Moore, Toledo has to coach up one of his quarterbacks, especially since
star RB Matt Forte has exhausted his eligibility. The coach also has to
get his kids to step up late in games after they dropped three by five
points or less in 2007.
16. David Bailiff, Rice – Bailiff walked into a tough situation,
succeeding a coach that just took the Owls to their first bowl game in
four decades. Rice was good in 2006, winning seven games, but it also
caught plenty of breaks, something the new staff was unable to recapture
last fall. The Owls opened with a loss to Nicholls State out of the FCS,
a harbinger of things to come in a season that got away from them in
October. The biggest indictment of Bailiff, a defensive coach, in his
first season was that his defense showed no improvement as the season
wore on, finishing 118th nationally in total and scoring defense.
17. Neil Callaway, UAB – With so many freshmen and sophomores
dotting the two-deep, it was back to square one for the Blazers, which
bowled as recently as 2004. Callaway, fully aware of the hurdles he
faced, did about as well as can be expected, milking two wins out of his
kids, and nearly shocking Florida State and Mississippi State in the
first half of the year. Although a few more wins would have been nice
to carry into the spring, last season was more about building a
foundation and getting reps for the next generation of Blazers.
18. Stan Brock, Army
– Brock essentially met expectations in 2007, leading the Black Knights
to a second straight 3-9 record, and their 11th straight losing season.
Oh, and there was also a sixth loss in-a-row to Navy, 38-3, the longest
skid by either Academy in the 118-year history of the series. Obviously
noticing the success that the Middies and Air Force have had using the
option over the years, Brock is strongly considering splicing it into
his playbook next season. A visit from Rhode Island and a miraculous
comeback against Tulane got the Cadets to 3-3, but they failed to win a
game over the final two months of the season.
19. Robb Akey, Idaho
– The Vandals regressed in Akey's first season as a head coach, winning
three fewer games than a year ago and suffering double-digit losses for
the third time this decade. After just getting by Cal-Poly on Sept. 8,
it was all downhill for Idaho, which ended the season on a deflating
10-game losing streak. In Akey's defense, he did inherit an awful
situation that forced him to jettison 19 players from the program that
were deemed to have eligibility or character issues. The obvious lack
of depth in Moscow was something that plagued the coach and his staff
throughout the season.
20. Mario Cristobal,
Florida International – The Panthers were expected to be one of the
nation's worst programs in 2007, so a 1-11 record isn't exactly an
indictment of the job done by Cristobal. He played a ton of
underclassmen, hoping they'll form the foundation of a more competitive
Sun Belt team in two or three years. Hey, at least the Panthers beat
North Texas in the regular season finale, snapping a 23-game losing
streak and carrying a much-needed one-game winning streak into the
21. Todd Dodge, North Texas – Dodge's incredible run as a high
school coach in Texas may carry over to the college ranks, but it's
going to take time; probably a little more time than most expected. The
Mean Green struggled to compete in most games, winning just two and
laboring to pick up the nuances of Dodge's free-wheeling passing
attack. In the coach's defense, North Texas spent most of the year with
a true freshman, Giovanni Vizza, taking snaps, and was saddled with the
nation's weakest defense.
honeymoon is already over
22. Tim Brewster,
Minnesota – Last season was not supposed to be a complete rebuilding
year for the Gophers; it just looked that way from the opener with
Bowling Green to the finale with Wisconsin. The same school that went
to seven bowl games in the last eight years under Glen Mason managed
just one win under Brewster, reaching a low point for the program in the
last quarter-century. The Gophers were close on a lot of Saturdays, but
moral victories did little to compensate for losses to Florida Atlantic
and North Dakota State or an 0-8 mark in Big Ten play. Ever the
optimist and a crackerjack recruiter, Brewster needs to make good on his
promise to upgrade the talent at Minnesota. And fast.
23. Randy Shannon, Miami – No matter what's happened the last few
years, this is still Miami, a school that's not supposed to lose to
North Carolina. Or North Carolina State. Or Virginia, 48-0, when the
university and the city are saying farewell to the Orange Bowl. Despite
having enough returning talent to win eight games, the Canes went 5-7,
slipping below .500 and missing the postseason for the first time since
1997. The defense, Shannon's baby, allowed its most points per game
since 1970, another sign that a return to glory will take longer than
most expected. Badly outcoached at times, Shannon and his renovated
staff are counting on a knockout recruiting class to ignite the
floundering program.
24. Steve Kragthorpe, Louisville – No coach in America did less
with more in 2007 than Kragthorpe, who inherited a top 10 team with a
star quarterback, and promptly guided it to a 6-6 record and a bowl-less
postseason. From losses to Syracuse and Kentucky to a close call with
Middle Tennessee State, little went as planned for the Cardinals, which
suddenly couldn't tackle and weren't so scary on offense. Save for the
surprising win over Rutgers in the finale, Louisville lacked emotion and
execution, a stark contrast from the days when Bobby Petrino was on the
sidelines. Kragthorpe has shaken up his staff in an effort to ensure
last year was an aberration. It better be, or else his stay in the
'Ville will be a short one.

Aztecs notes: Rankings, X and Malcolm
The 6-foot-9 SDSU alum played two games with the L.A. D-Fenders, averaging 33.5 points and 15.5 rebounds, before the San Antonio Spurs claimed him just hours before he could play a third. Perhaps most impressive is his newfound perimeter range, going 8 of 13 behind the NBA 3-point arc in two D-League games after going 4 of 17 over two entire seasons at SDSU.
The Spurs, of course, have Thomas' college roommate, Kawhi Leonard. They were his first NBA club as an undrafted free agent before stints with Golden State and Chicago. Thomas isn't expected to suit up until Saturday against Indianapolis.
Ticket update
About 100 extra tickets for Sunday's noon game against Washington go on sale Tuesday morning at 9 at GoAztecs.com or by calling (619) 283-7378. They'll be available at the Viejas Arena box office beginning at 10 a.m. …
Also available is a mini-package of games over winter break. It costs $75 and includes five games: Southern Utah (Dec. 18), McNeese State (Dec. 21), St. Katherine College (Dec. 27), Boise State (Jan. 8) and Fresno State (Jan. 15).

Kelly Hearn is a great investigative journalist. I am impressed how he gathers all his information to put together an article worth reading as "The Dredge Report." His facts are amazingly correct, because he really puts the time into it and makes sure that he has his ducks in order.
I look forward to reading more articles like this one and his other articles on the TVA Coal Disaster. His articles are awesome and the best I have read on the TVA Coal Disaster. Thank you.

Well known cattle fieldman William S. Roche, 85, resident of Galt and Lodi, CA, died May 1, after a battle with Alzheimer's Disease.
Born Oct. 26, 1919, in Early, IA, Bill Roche was a true gentleman, who enjoyed the cattle business, his family and painting.
Roche graduated from Iowa State University in 1941 with a B.S. in Agriculture and entered the military in 1942 where he received a Bronze Star. After returning home he married Joyce Kischer in 1946.
He worked as a fieldman and county youth extension director and later became the Secretary of the Northwest Iowa Angus Association.

A method and apparatus for simultaneously determining a patient's identification and blood oxygen saturation are provided. An pulse oximeter probe carries a light source such as LEDs or lasers which is used to read patient identification information carried on the patient's wristband by a bar code. Alternately, the patient's wristband incorporates a radio frequency reader chip which contains the patient's identification information and the pulse oximeter probe carries an antenna adjacent its cable so that, when the pulse oximeter is turned on, it reads the chip in the wristband during the same motion with which the patient's oxygen blood saturation is measured with the pulse oximeter.
1. A system for determining and storing patient identification and blood oxygen saturation and other vital signs from a plurality of patients, comprising:
a portable pulse oximeter having a probe adapted to be temporarily placed onto a patient's finger to determine said patient's blood oxygen saturation,
a patient wristband having either a unique bar code or a unique RF reader chip identifying each patient,
means carried by said portable pulse oximeter probe for reading said patient's wristband and obtaining said patient's identification simultaneously with determining said patient's blood oxygen saturation, and
storage means in said portable pulse oximeter for storing the identification of each of said plurality of patients together with said blood oxygen saturation reading and other vital signs measured for each of said plurality of patients.

9. A method for determining and storing patient identification and blood oxygen saturation and storing other vital signs taken from a plurality of patients wherein each of said patients wears a wristband having either a unique bar code or a unique RF reader chip identifying each patient, comprising the steps:
temporarily placing a portable pulse oximeter probe on a finger of each of said patients to determine blood oxygen saturation,
using said portable pulse oximetry probe to read the wristband worn by each of said patients to determine the identification of each patient simultaneously with determining blood oxygen saturation for each patient,
determining one or more other vital signs from each of said plurality of patients, and
storing in said portable pulse oximeter each of said patients' identification and the patients' respective blood oxygen saturation and other vital sign or signs.
10. The method of
periodically downloading said stored patient identifications and said blood oxygen saturation and other vital sign readings for each of said patients from said portable pulse oximeter into a storage medium functioning as a vital signs record.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/274,431 filed Mar. 8, 2001 entitled "Method and Apparatus for Identifying a Patient Using a Pulse Oximeter Probe."
Pulse oximetry is now commonly employed along with non-invasive blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature in multi-parameter vital signs monitors. Such monitors are carried by hospital nursing staff from room to room for carrying out routine vital signs checks from four to six times per day. It is common practice for the nursing staff to carry a notebook and record manually various vital signs adjacent to the patient's name.
Since hospital patients invariably wear a wrist bracelet for identification, it would be most convenient to use the wristband to automatically record the patient's name and identification number each time that vital signs are taken. Wristbands with bar codes are not in common use at this time for patient identification, but interest is growing in the use of bar codes for this purpose. Since the pulse oximeter is invariably placed on a patient's finger to obtain oxygen saturation, it would be advantageous to use the same motion to cause the pulse oximeter probe to be used as a bar code reader.
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for simultaneously determining the patient's identification and blood oxygen saturation. The invention utilizes prior art pulse oximeters and prior art bar coded wristbands, for example. These individual prior art items have not heretofore been utilized together to automatically obtain and record the patient's identification together with blood oxygen saturation.
Reading the bar code on the wristband is accomplished by placing a combination emitter/detector in the distal end of the oximeter probe. Since the emitter/detector must pass directly over the bar code, this arrangement requires that the end of the pulse oximeter probe make direct contact with the patient's wristband. No deviation from the wristband is permitted when a simple LED bar coder is employed.
An alternative optical method, using a laser diode or a combination of laser diodes and detectors, enables the user to hold the bar code reader a few inches from the coded strip. The electronics for interpreting the reflected light is somewhat more complicated than with the simpler LED system, and the cost of the laser diodes and the complexity of the electronics makes this alternative method somewhat more costly to manufacture than simply employing an LED and a photodetector at the end of the pulse oximeter probe.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a pulse oximeter probe carrying a fiber optic as it is used to read a bar code on a patient's wristband; and
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment wherein the patient's wristband contains an RF chip which is read by an antenna carried by the pulse oximeter probe.
FIG. 1 illustrates a pulse oximeter probe 20 carrying a fiber optic, or LED's and a photodetector, so that a light beam can project to a bar coded wristband 30 and reflect back to the photodetector or fiber optic cable of the probe.
A somewhat different method of patient identification shown in FIG. 2 employs a radio frequency (RF) antenna in the body of the pulse oximeter probe 120 with the major portion of the electronics within the external monitor (not shown). This includes the radio frequency generator, the interpretative electronics, and software. The wristband 130, itself, rather than having a bar code, would then utilize a pre-programmed chip and an antenna which are embedded in the wristband. Signal strength from the antenna can be adjusted so that the range of the probe's signal generator is 8 inches or less, therefore avoiding spurious signals from any other patient but the patient of interest. As the pulse oximeter probe 120 is passed over the wrist to be placed on the fingertip for a pulse oximeter reading, a signal is generated shown by wave pattern 140 which, being in the vicinity of the embedded chip, picks up the identification signal from the wristband 130, and the patient is thereby automatically identified by the patient monitor.
Once the patient is identified, his or her name and identification number may be displayed on the monitor. The patient data including blood oxygen saturation is automatically placed into the monitor's memory alongside the patient's name and identification number. Downloading to a computer can be done after taking a succession of patient vital signs, each group of vital signs conveniently tagged with the patient's identification number and name.
The advantage of using a pulse oximeter probe for patient identification is that it is invariably passed over the patient's wrist as the probe is moved toward the patient's finger. Therefore in essentially one motion, the nurse accomplishes both a pulse oximeter reading and patient identification.
Bar code readers are well known in the art and are available off the shelf in a form that can be easily modified and adapted to the present invention. An example is the Model WDR R11/12 made by Worth Data of Santa Cruz, Calif. For use with a pulse oximeter probe, a fiber optic cable connection 21 to the probe 20 enables the light source and detector to reside inside the external monitor (not shown) to which the pulse oximeter probe is connected by a cable. FIG. 1 shows how light from the end of the pulse oximeter probe 20 can be directed at the patient's wristband and reflected back from the bar code area back to the fiber optic inside the probe. Alternately, LED's and a detector can be carried at the end of the pulse oximeter probe. The detected signal is then sent back to the monitor where it is processed to derive the patient's ID.
Another method of patient identification using a pulse oximeter probe is to use the probe in conjunction with a radio frequency patient ID system. In such a system, the major portion of the electronics is within the external monitor and the radio signal is carried by a co-axial cable 121 to an antenna within the pulse oximeter probe. The complete read-write system is contained within the external monitor. Such a system can utilize a reader chip such as a Phillip HTR C110 which is designed for easy integration into an RF Identification System. The antenna for the read-write system is carried under the top surface of the oximeter probe 120 and may be composed of a grid of fine wires printed on flexible circuit board material. The RF signal easily penetrates the ABS plastic of the probe. The target of the RF signal is a patient's ID wristband such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,973,598 assigned to Precision Dynamics. This patent describes a programmable encoder circuitry formed on a flexible substrate with signal generating circuitry and antenna. All circuitry is printed on the flexible substrate with conductive ink. A similar identification tag is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,914,862 assigned to Kasten Close Applied Research of Canada. FIG. 2 shows this embodiment in which a co-axial cable conducts the RF signal to the antenna of the pulse oximeter probe, from which it is transmitted to the RF ID tag on the patient's wrist.
In summary, both embodiments of this invention allow a convenient method whereby a pulse oximeter probe can be used to identify a patient while employing the probe to simultaneously take blood oxygen saturation readings from the patient's finger. The patient ID can be displayed, stored within the monitor and later entered into the hospital's electronic record system.
The foregoing description of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description and is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The embodiments were chosen and described to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best use the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications suited to the particular use contemplated. The scope of the invention is to be defined by the following claims.

Mentor absolutely deserved it, but was still rooting for my school. And, you know, it evens out. Mentor lost a state championship game a few years back when Hilliard Davidson (I think) beat them in overtime after converting a two-point try. These things happen. It looks like they'll get Toledo Whitmer and Hilliard Davidson should be playing Cincinnati Moeller, if that result held down there.
Colerain just never seems to put it together in the playoffs. They run that wishbone option, still, right? Usually, I would blame that because it's hard to come from behind or if it gets rainy and wet, it's hard to hang on to those pitches. Weather seems like it was pretty much fine though and I don't think they ever trailed by more than 10.
Whitmer must have built a pretty good program. They lost to Ignatius in the state semi-finals last year and they destroyed Massillon tonight. And on Davidson, I made a mistake. Pickerington North beat them 21-0, so they obviously advance.

I have a very nice pc Gtx 660 Graphics card and 16 gb of ram. I keep getting these c++ run time errors when ever I join a server. I would love to play your mod but it seems to be broken for me and a lot of people. Please fix
A Co-op Survival Multiplayer Mod revamping Classic Full Invasion mod by Arch3r and to continue his work. This mod aim to have as many factions as possible and it is one of the most demanding mod out there for warband. (For 64 bit Windows and 64 bit Operating System only) With lots of new factions to choose from, and more coming with each update, Full Invasion 2 builds further upon Arch3r's abandoned mod, breathing fresh life in his interesting concept. Try to survive for as long as possible and fight against hordes of enemies. Build barricades, fences, form a spear-wall / shield wall to fight against the foes. The game sends waves of challenges to the player that become more difficult with each subsequent wave. But can you hold till the last wave? You will be tested (Please read the minimum requirement page before you download to avoid disappointment or crashes in game) This is the most demanding mod ever created on warband. Beware
Please read the Minimum Reqirement page for this mod before you download, otherwise you are just wasting your time. You have been warned! There are rumours that this mod only works with 64 bits pc/ laptops. A decent / strong processor is required to play this mod, beware!
I have a very nice pc Gtx 660 Graphics card and 16 gb of ram. I keep getting these c++ run time errors when ever I join a server. I would love to play your mod but it seems to be broken for me and a lot of people. Please fix
I can host a server but it says something about invalid troops. I have 64 system and i have followed everything on the c++ error but i still get it....this mod is broken please release a patch or optimize it
What? It is not broken it is beta but fully playable... you must have a problem on your end.
I love the music in this game and cannot find the names of some of the songs, does anyone know where I can find out wtf these amazing songs are called?
Hmm... have you tried redownloading? It may have become corrupt on download or extraction.
I already installed the mod but i cant join any servers :( It says "Unable to connect to server" I tried the nlg_config but it didnt work (Even in AppData and Documents) If you gave any solutions please answer me: email@example.com
If you have 32 bits pc it will crash, maybe time to buy a new pc?
Hey I have tried several different mirrors, but I just can't download it. I'll click the link and it will just be stuck loading. I have tried taking down my firewall.
are you about that? Even gamefront is not working for you sir? Gamefront.com
Yep nothing is working for me. It just won't even start to download the files, I tried different browsers also. /:
Oh and btw I can download other links for other mods just fine.
Can you try proxy? And do you have a 64 bits pc?
Even this link doesn't work? (when you press it, it should go directly download)
I can say only one ;D my PC has only 1x 2.8ghz proc. 1,256 gb RAM and GeForce 5500 and I can play this mod :D I must only activate a Load Textures on Demand and grafics to minimum ;D
Do you have 32-bit Windows ? The problem is exactly when you have 32-bit Windows,no matter how good your other PC's components are,with 32-bit it's rather impossible to pass even the loading screen. Can you describe how much did you low your graphics to minimum ? Everything to the lowest,or only some of options ?
Is that so? Could you tell us in specific what you did to be able to play the mod with your PC specs?
I get all these errors in red text at the mulitplayer screen, when I join an invasion 2 server (thats the mod version I have) the game stops working ( mount and blade.exe has stopped working- or something like that) HELP!!!! I think its something to do with the red error text, did I download this incorrectly?
nvm I downloaded from a bad site, downloaded from this site and fixedd it
Other sites probably runs in a older version, that's probably why
Well, I have finally gotten a new PC just today. I created a new account here because I can't get into my old account (Richardc269), anyhoo, my old PC had 32-Bit Windows 7 Ultimate, had only 4 gigs of RAM. But this one runs at 3.60Ghz instead of 2.70Ghz like my old one. I now have enough RAM (16gigs worth!) to try out this mod finally.
You don't really have to buy a new pc to try this one sir, that will be just a waste of money, nevertheless you can also use your new pc to play most of the new games that is coming this year. Have fun.
Old pc was getting old anyway. And it started to act funky on me in World of Tanks only recently (less than 2 weeks) anyway. 'sides, I didn't pay for it. It's not exactly mine. I was given the option to build a PC, I did, and it took me a while, but now I can play games that require more RAM than I can keep up with, so it doesn't bother me. PC was 4 1/2 to 5 years old now.
Interesting, have fun!
i try and try and try to download mods on my computer and when I finally reach the window to download it and click it, the browser always sends me to a page that says "Cant display page" I haven't downloaded any programs for files or anything like that what is a necessity to download mods?
Can you try different browsers, like google chrome/ internet explorer or perhaps fire fox? seems like your computer is infected with virus sir, if i were you i will definitely going to look out for help
good luck
What's new in this version? I mean, what factions etc?
whether it should be paid through steam to play this mod??
You mean if you should play Full Invasion 2 via Steam? If you have version 1.154 of Mount & Blade: Warband then yes.
I took a 1.153 version and then you have to pay to play this mod??
You need to have at least 1.153 version of warband, yes you have to pay to buy warband in order to play this mod. (Also a decent 64-bit PC is required to play this demanding mod)
I took a 1153 version and then you have to pay to play this mod??
ребят, я запускаю игру и захожу в сетевую игру и мне пишет ошибка подключения к серверу? что делать? помогите
так поможете?
ebyat, I run the game and go into the net game and wrote me a problem connecting to the server? What to do? help
Improve your connection, or diagnose your connection using control panel > network, the problem lies within you sir, not the mod itself
guys, I run the game and go into the net game and wrote me a problem connecting to the server? What to do? help
list of things in next-coming version looks very promising,but what's with 32-bit players ? Have you found something what could allow 32-bits to play ?
This is our little puzzle right now, we are trying to fix it.
You could try to edit your VRAM so that you can play. I know at least 10 players who have 32 bit pc managed to play after editing their system. Follow this link now:
good luck
Okay,thanks,I'll try this right now and I'll report what's of it.
YEAH ! Works perfectly i just followed exactly with steps which were at topic about 1257AD on talewords.com.Thx Alex,it really helped,I hope now more of other playes will try it,it really works!
Tell us your solution please maybe you found it for 32 bit? :p
It's just that what Dev_Alex wrote,about editing of system,in his post is link to taleworlds.com,there is topic where everything is described.i just followed steps which were there and it worked.A link is in Alex's post,just right above,I followed only instructions,that's all.
omfg -.-
Come again?
Yes, just read the minumum requirement and check out the tips and instructions. u must have a really good 32 bit pc though

If Evgeny Kuznetsov can make it through Monday morning's practice without any serious setbacks, his long-awaited Capitals debut will take place Monday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins [7 p.m., CSN], ending nearly four years of anticipation.
With that in mind, here is a timeline of Kuznetsov's tenure as one of the Capitals' brightest prospects:
June 2010: With the 26th pick of the draft the Capitals select the left-handed shooting 18-year-old center/right wing out of Chelyabinsk, Russia.
The Capitals' scouting staff considered Kuznetsov one of the top three or four talents in the draft and when he was still on the board at No. 26 …
"We said we've got to take this guy," Capitals general manager George McPhee recalled. "He's that good. We thought we may not see him for a couple years – we didn't expect it to be four – but it's hard to find really good players and when you're sitting there and you have a guy that could go in the top five, you take him."
At the time, McPhee thought Kuznetsov was good enough to play in the NHL, if not at the age of 18, then certainly a year later.
"And I told him that," McPhee said. "He mentioned at that time he felt he needed two years in the KHL."
Summer 2012: Despite efforts by the Caps to sign Kuznetsov to a three-year, entry-level contract worth an estimated $900,000 per season, the 20-year-old forward signs a two-year extension with Chelyabinsk Traktor worth an estimated $5 million per year.
"That," McPhee recalled, "was hard on us."
August 2013: As part of a five-day "good will" visit, Capitals Adam Oates flies 3 1/2 hours from Alex Ovechkin's hometown of Moscow to Kuznetsov's hometown of Chelyabinsk to meet the young Russian star and his wife, Nastia.
Later, McPhee makes a similar trek to speak with Kuznetsov face-to-face and is assured by the 21-year-old prospect that he will be joining the Caps at the conclusion of Traktor's season.
"It was authentic," McPhee recalled. "He said, 'We're coming this time,' and he turned down big money to do it.
"The question was why? Why are you coming now? And he said, 'Well, the NHL's the best league in the world and I want to be able to tell my kids some day that I tried it."
March 4, 2014: Kuznetsov's team, Traktor, finishes its regular season out of the playoffs and is placed into the Nadezhda Cup [Cup of Hope] playoffs, in which non-playoff teams compete for the right to pick first overall in the upcoming KHL draft.
Although Kuznetsov indicated to the Capitals that he would not play in the Cup of Hope, McPhee was concerned that Traktor would not release him from his KHL contract until it officially expired on May 1.
March 5, 2014: Kuznetsov applies for a U.S. passport.
March 6, 2014: McPhee wakes up to a text from Capitals assistant general manager Don Fishman informing him that Traktor had signed a release from Kuznetsov's KHL contact.
"That," McPhee said, "was the first big move."
March 7, 2014: Kuznetsov's U.S. passport is delivered to him in Chelyabinsk.
March 8, 2014: Kuznetsov's flight from Chelyabinsk to Moscow is delayed one hour, but he is still able to make his connection flights to Munich and Washington, arriving at Verizon Center in time to sign his first NHL contract, a two-year deal believed to worth $900,000 this season and $900,000 next season. The contract is signed at approximately 5:45 p.m.
"As I told some of the guys on our staff, it's kind of like seeing the Loch Ness Monster when he walked in," McPhee said. "We've heard of you, but we haven't seen you. And there he was.
"I found it hard to believe he was standing there after all this. It's a pretty neat feeling this kid is in the fold. He's a pretty darn good player."
March 9, 2014: With about 50 fans cheering from the bleachers, Kuznetsov dons No. 92 and participates in a 45-minute skate with Adam Oates and conditioning coach Mark Nemish at Capitals Kettler Iceplex, then meets with reporters.
"It's my dream [to] play in NHL," Kuznetsov said. "I'm ready, 100 percent. I want to play."

I think the Dr. Paul old guard is underestimating
how powerful the movement has become. Maybe it's because CIA have successfully suppressed the vote at the polls. But if the organizers do a good job, then you'll see all kinds of people there. Grandma and Grandpa, ex-liberals, teaparty, conservatives. Strippers, skinheads, hippies, soccer moms.

According to the Alien Tort Claims Act of 1789, U.S. federal courts "shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States." With few exceptions, this provision was rarely invoked for 200 years. But in recent years, foreign victims of human-rights abuses have cited the act in bringing actions under the U.S. law.
In 1991 the United States Congress passed the Torture Victim Protection Act. This federal statute permits civil lawsuits against those accused of committing torture or murder "under actual or apparent authority, or color of law, of any foreign nation." As the language intended, victims or their representatives may confront not only the perpetrators of such crimes but their superiors who bear responsibility.
Armed with these laws, the plaintiffs have brought civil actions against the Salvadoran generals (both of whom reside in Florida). In the first trial, the generals were found not liable in U.S. Federal District Court, a decision that has been appealed by the families. What is not in dispute is that the lawsuits are permissible under current United States law.

completely removed door, then replaced worn-out cam on bottom of door-simple enough; then removed hinge from bottom of refrigerator; removing old cam required drilling out the rivet that fastened cam to hinge; secured new cam to hinge with small machine screw and nut. This procedure is relatively easy but does require minor mechanical ability and having a small drill and bit set. However, replacing the two cams totally fixed the problem.

2011 BEST Jazz Club
Wally's Café
With a hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, raw jazz, and bartenders who bust ass, Wally's is an institution unto itself. A conglomerate of Berklee students, longtime barflies, and twentysomethings keep the narrow bar crowded, while early birds get a shot at one of eight tables. It's a tight fit, to be sure, but the vibe is lighthearted and appreciative.

Good morning and happy Friday!
Well, it ended up being one of those kind of weeks for me due to my class getting up and running, coming back home to the Central Coast, working on the business side of my app and all kinds of other miscellaneous tasks. What I'm trying to say is that I wasn't that creative in the kitchen these past few days and so I don't have any new recipes to share today. In fact, if I had kids, this would be the time I would insert a cute picture to distract you from the lack of interesting food pics. This is all I can come up with:
I know it's not nice to harass the cat, but I couldn't help myself and she kinda liked it. I think.
Before the week got too crazy, I decided to make a picnic for Alan and me on Wednesday while we were out doing errands. I packed up green salads for each of us with all kinds of toppings including baby tomatoes, onion sprouts, sprouted beans, avocado and pinto beans:
This was our view for lunch that day:
It is kind of ironic that most tourists visit coastal California in the summertime when the weather can be cold and foggy, especially north of Santa Barbara. However, it is during the fall and winter months when we get the sun and nobody is around to enjoy it! I had no problem parking at the beach and finding this bench just steps from the sand. Here's my salad eaten lap-style:
Oh yeah, I also topped it with some of the extra roasted butternut squash from the night before. We shared a big bag of grapes for dessert.
As part of my food shopping this week, I went to another farmers' market and was so happy to find some local, heirloom beans to stock my pantry. I especially like the ones called "Tiger Stripes" since I am such a cat-lover:
I had three options total to choose from:
I can't believe I ended up spending $20 on beans, but they should last a few weeks at least. I bonded with the farmer about how beans are so under appreciated and I gave him my blog card for bean recipes. He's not vegan but I was doing my best to convert inspire him.
Another one of my errands that day was to visit Home Depot for some household items. I finally remembered to look for a stevia plant and was delighted to find a locally-grown, organic version!
I am going to try adding a few leaves into my green smoothies and see if that helps with the sweetness. I'm not using any sweeteners right now other than fruit, but I am fine trying the stevia leaves since they are unprocessed and in their whole form. I will let you know what I think. The plant is pretty even as just decoration. Of course, if I start plucking off the leaves, I'm not sure how long it is going to look nice:
Lastly, today wraps up another round of Healthy Vegan Fridays , a blog link-up party where bloggers share whole food, plant-based recipes. Here were the three most clicked-up recipes from this week:
How awesome does this Quinoa Flatbread look from Rachel at Almonds & Avocados ?
That's a macadamia nut cheese spread on top, by the way. Yes, please!
Don't miss your chance to join the fun this week by submitting your favorite vegan recipe by following the link at the end of the thumbnails below.
Until Monday, have a healthy and happy weekend!

Live NationRead MoreHershey Theatre The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.4400 University DriveFairfax, VA US
Fairfax Ice ArenaRead MoreSince 1973, skaters have been sailing effortlessly across Fairfax Ice Arena?s spacious, icy surface during public skate sessions, figure skating?lessons, and hockey leagues for all ages. At the family-owned arena, a staff of dedicated skating coaches guides students while calling upon experience from the St. Petersburg State Ballet on Ice, Disney on Ice, and the lesser-known On Golden Pond on Ice.

Visiting a series of colleges, the tour filters the eccentricities of American universities through Brand's singular wit. George Mason University's recently renovated Patriot Center contains the glee in arena-style seating, ensuring everyone has a clear view of both Brand and the cricket whispering jokes in his ear.4500 Patriot Cir.Fairfax, VA US
American Freedom FoundationRead MoreQuadruple-platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated rockers Daughtry regale audiences with a battalion of hits in a Veterans Day weekend festival that benefits veterans and active members of the armed forces. After battling to the final rounds of American Idol in season five, frontman Chris Daughtry rocketed to fame on the strength of his band's debut album, as well as buzz from the band?s drums, which are filled with bees. Since then, Daughtry has stormed radio stations with hits such as ?What About Now,? ?Crawling Back To You,? and ?Home.? The alt rockers won the hearts of millions of listeners with infectiously catchy choruses and raw lyrics about heartbreak, redemption, and missed buses. At the festival, the three-time American Music Award winners will play favorite hits and may preview its latest album, Break the Spell, which premieres in late November. The American Freedom Foundation hosts the concert, using proceeds to help military members past and present, particularly those wounded in action.4400 University DriveFairfax, VA US

Harlem GlobetrottersRead MoreHarlem Globetrotters Playing Three-on-Five Since forming in the 1920s, the Harlem Globetrotters have continued to entertain millions of parents, children, and general basketball admirers with a trademark blend of athletic precision and razzle-dazzle showmanship. For the team's 2014 tour, a rotating [roster](http://gr.pn/PHdb6w) of Globetrotter favorites?including three female players?takes to the hardwood each game. Spectators might spot veteran guard [TNT](http://gr.pn/rOe0P4) sharing a behind-the-back pass with dunker [Quake](http://gr.pn/QTIGVh), whose high jump once cleared 7 feet, cruelly dashing his dreams of working in a ceiling-fan store. The Globetrotters might also present a study in contrasts with 5-foot-2 [Too Tall](http://gr.pn/PHdmPh) and 7-foot-4 [Stretch](http://gr.pn/1dYrbUt), the team?s tallest member. During each Globetrotters game, youngsters laugh along and witness the jovial jocks performing classic routines of unconventional passing and sudden transmutations of water into confetti. To infuse their visits with an extra shot of unpredictability, the Globetrotters also let fans in each city vote on special rules for every game; past rules have included the use of a four-point shot and the installation of a penalty box. Over the years, similar antics have followed the Globetrotters around the world, including to 122 countries and territories and all six continents on which basketballs grow naturally. The Globetrotters? extensive travels haven?t gone unnoticed: they?re one of the few teams to earn a spot in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as ambassadors of the sport.4500 Patriot Cir.Fairfax, VA US

Great Wedding Invite
I really didn't have a problem making the design the way I wanted. It was difficult to change the font, and my saved work didn't save the name of the font; it's been difficult to get the font on the "Thank you" cards to match. Overall, I had a good experience and found it easy to use and the service was quick.
It was perfect! Received many compliments on it! The red matches one of the colors of our wedding. Thank you!
Exactly what I hoped for
The wedding invitation is beautiful. The customer service was phenomenal and so easy to work with (Thank you, Julie!). They made suggestions and verified that everything was as we hoped. The quality of the paper is great and you can't beat the price of it all. I highly recommend Magnet Street and will continue to purchase products from them.
We could not be happier!!! THe paper is amazing....linen looking. THe color is brilliant...writing is lined up great and printed great. I wasnt looking to spend alot on invites and I didnt BUT I got an invite that looks like I did...I feel so happy and lucky!!!

France's 'Black Widow' denies murder as trial opens
Published on Apr 14, 2014 7:38 PM
GRENOBLE (AFP) - A former driving instructor dubbed the "Black Widow" of the French Alps on Monday denied drugging her husband and then burning him to death in his car.
"I continue to say that I am innocent of what I have been accused and that will be shown in court," Manuela Gonzalez, 53, said on the opening day of her trial for murder.
The charred remains of Gonzalez's late husband, Daniel Cano, 58, were discovered in his burnt-out car near the house he shared with her in Villard-Bonnot in the Isere region of the Alps.
Police believe the fire was started deliberately and that Cano had taken a large dose of sleeping pills.

The Rangers have returned forward Kris Newbury to the CT Whale of the AHL. Newbury's second stint with the Rangers lasted one game, where he was on the ice for three Canadiens goals. Newbury finished the game with under seven minutes of ice time and a -3 rating. He looked incredibly lost against a much faster Montreal team.
Newbury's return to CT means that one of Brandon Dubinsky or Ruslan Fedotenko will be ready to go tomorrow against Nashville.

08.11.03 - Newly crowned WBA welterweight champion El Gallo Jose Antonio Rivera (37-3-1, 24 KOs) -- boxings best-kept secret -- is getting bored working out without knowing when his next fight date or opponent will be.
The WBA mandated that Rivera, after winning a 12-round decision September 13 against previously unbeaten Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant WBA title, would have to fight No. 1 rated contender Thomas Damgaard within 120 days. Rivera has been at training camp for weeks, but Damgaards promoter has reportedly petitioned the WBA to permit Damgaard to step aside once again. Damgaard originally was scheduled to fight Trabant, but that deal wasnt agreed upon in time, and Rivera replaced Damgaard.
Rivera wants to be a fighting champion and prove hes one of the top fighters in the world. Like most great champions, Riveras manager Steven Tank Tankanow said, Jose will fight anybody, anywhere. Damgaard, the Great Dane acting more like a Chihuahua, is hiding in Denmark after seeing what Rivera did to Trabant. Floyd Mayweather and Kosta Tszyu have been talking about moving up and taking on the best welterweights in the world. Well, Jose Rivera is right here for them. (Antonio) Margarito doesnt need to look any further than Worcester to find somebody as tough as he is and (Ricardo) Mayorga should be fighting somebody who will go toe-to-toe with him, not dancing around like a little girl, like most of his previous opponents. Joses not going anywhere. Hell, well move up to 154 if (Oscar) De La Hoya wants a real fight. Heres a challenge to any of the world-class fighters between 147 and 154 pounds: If you have Mayorga-sized balls, contact Team Rivera.

The first dinner will feature Pat and Kelli Ebnet of Wild Acres in Pequot Lakes. They specialize in raising domestic poultry and wild game birds, and provide many of the Twin Cities top restaurants with poultry.
The second-generation owners oversee a roughly 30-week process for the poultry they raise and maintain a commitment to strong quality and freshness.
The Ebnets will be at the Red Stag on May 3 at 7 p.m. to give a presentation about their work and answer diners' questions.
The Red Stag will feature a special Wild Acres menu that evening. Highlights of the three-course meal include chicken liver mousse, smoked chicken angliotti and grilled duck breast.
Here's the schedule for future Meet the Farmer dinners:
— (June 5, noon) A brunch with Larry Schultz, a farmer from Owatonna;
— (July 8, 7 p.m.) A dinner with Dragsmith Farms of Barron, Wis.;
— (Aug. 5, 7 p.m.) A dinner with Footjoy Farms of Sparta, Wis.; and
— (Sept. 9, 7 p.m.) An evening with The Farm of Hutchinson.
The meals will be $38 per person.
The Red Stag Supperclub, 509 1st Ave. NE, is the state's first LEED certified restaurant.
Gorilla Yogis head to the Guthrie
Jessica Rosenberg and Nan Gane Arundel, two local yoga teachers, have launched a new unique yoga movement called Gorilla Yogis.
They are holding monthly yoga gatherings at unexpected places throughout town. Their next destination is the Guthrie Theater, 818 S. 2nd St. on April 27.
They are asking people to come out and be a Gorilla Yogis star for a "Sunrise Vinyasa Practice" at the theater from 7–8 a.m.
So far, Gorilla Yogis have had organized two yoga events — one at the Mpls Photo Center and another at the Cedar Cultural Center.
The idea is take yoga "beyond studio walls" and build community.
There's a suggested donation of $10 for the Guthrie gathering. Proceeds will go to Project SUCCESS, a youth development organization serving middle school through senior high students.
For more information about Gorilla Yogis, visit gorillayogis.com.
Keegan's plans Derby party
Keegan's Pub, 16 University Ave. NE, is encouraging patrons to wear hats and appropriate attire for a special Kentucky Derby Party on May 1 — the 136th Kentucky Derby.
The bar will be serving the event's official drink, the Mint Julep, at 4 p.m. The Derby will be aired on Keegan's televisions.
"During previous runnings of the Derby, we've had a nice crowd of customers who really get into it," said Keegan's owner Terry Keegan. "This year we anticipate an even bigger event."

The Mill City Farmers Market opens for the 2010 season on Saturday, May 8.
The market, wedged between the Guthrie Theater and Mill City Museum near the riverfront, is devoted to local, sustainable and organic products. The market boasts more than 60 vendors.
