This invention generally relates to ultrasound imaging of human tissue and blood. In particular, the invention relates to apparatus for connecting a plurality of transducer probes to an ultrasound imaging unit.
Conventional ultrasound imaging systems have interchangeable transducer probes which are suitable for different applications. The transducer family may, for example, consist of four types of transducers: phased array, linear, convex and specialty (i.e., transducers designed for imaging specific body parts). Each transducer probe is coupled to a respective port of the ultrasound imaging system via a coaxial cable and a transducer connector. The transducer connectors are interchangeable in the sense that each connector can be plugged into any port. The console of the system is also conventionally provided with a set of yokes for holding the respective transducers when they are not being used. This set of yokes is typically placed on the side of the main unit or under the operator console of the main unit.
Each transducer probe is designed for a specific application. Depending on the desired application, the appropriate probe must be connected and activated before it can be used to scan the anatomy of interest. If four different transducer probes are plugged into the console, the user must select one of the four for the scanning operation.
Previous implementations of transducer selection require the user of the machine to select or activate one of the connector ports and thereby energize the transducer connected thereto by pressing a button or key. The specified probe then begins to image in response to that selection. The user must pick up the transducer from its holder either before or after selecting it via the button or key in order to apply it to the patient and actually begin scanning.
The foregoing implementation requires the user to know which transducer is connected to which port and then press the appropriate key corresponding to the picked-up transducer. When an operator wishes to use a particular probe on a multi-probe imaging unit, usually the operator must trace the transducer probe to its particular connector via the coaxial cable in order to determine which port the transducer connector is connected to. Thus, there is a need for a transducer activation scheme which allows the user to activate a desired transducer by the simple act of picking up the transducer.
The present invention is a probe assembly consisting of a transducer probe, a coaxial cable, a transducer connector and a yoke, all four components being integrally attached to each other for installation and removal as an integral unit. In particular, the probe assembly includes an integral yoke/transducer connector having built-in probe switches for detecting when a transducer probe has been removed from its yoke. Based on the status of the probe switch and other feedback information, a system controller activates the out-of-holder probe if it has priority. In this manner, a probe can be automatically activated when it is lifted out of its yoke, thereby eliminating the need to trace a desired probe to its connector/port via the cable.
Once a probe/port is auto-selected, it remains the only active probe/port until the probe is placed back in the yoke (or its transducer connector is disconnected from the port on the imaging unit). Placement of the probe in its corresponding yoke opens the probe switch which is built into the yoke. At that point, the same or another probe can be auto-selected by lifting it from its yoke. The probe switch in the integral yoke can be molded into the yoke or it can be designed to be separate and thus field-replaceable. Probes can be manually selected/activated via the operator interface in the event that the probe fails.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, the ports are situated above the operator console on the front of the main unit. Situating the transducer connector ports at this height provides ease of connection and improved cable management (i.e., the cables are not as prone to be run over by or tangled in the wheels of a mobile imaging unit).
Another feature of the invention is that the individual yokes are designed such that the probes do not have to be placed into the yokes in any particular orientation. More specifically, the outer contour of the probe and the inner contour of the yoke are designed to be form-fitting. With this design, each transducer probe of different shape has its own customized yoke integrated with the transducer connector.
In accordance with this design, each probe can be placed into its yoke vertically but in no other particular orientation. When the probe is allowed to fall into place in the yoke, the contoured surfaces of the yoke cooperate with the contoured surfaces of the probe to guide the probe into its stored position. As the probe displaces downwardly relative to the yoke, the probe is rotated into an orientation that allows the probe to be snugly seated in the yoke. When seated snugly in the yoke, the probe will cause the probe switch to open, which indicates to the system that the probe is hooked in its yoke and can be deactivated.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are front and side views respectively of an ultrasound imaging unit having a plurality of interchangeable probe assemblies, each probe assembly comprising an integral yoke/transducer connector in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a concept drawing of an integral yoke/transducer connector in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a circuit schematic for the probe present switch incorporated in the integral yoke/transducer connector depicted in FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a transducer interface by which a plurality of transducer probes can be interfaced to an ultrasound imaging system.
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the mechanical assembly for activating the probe switch when the probe is seated in the yoke in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the ultrasound imaging unit in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a mobile main unit 10 which is transportable on a plurality of wheels 12. The main unit includes a housing 14, an operator console 16 and a display monitor 18. The housing 14 has a plurality of ports (not shown) by means of which a plurality of transducer probes 20 can be coupled to the signal processing subsystems located inside housing 14. Typically each probe is designed to meet the requirements of a specific application. The transducers fall into four general categories: phased array, linear, convex and specialty (i.e., transducers designed for imaging specific body parts).
Each transducer probe is coupled to a respective port of the ultrasound imaging system via a coaxial cable 22 and a transducer connector 24. The transducer connectors are interchangeable in the sense that each connector can be plugged into any port.
A set of yokes 26 are provided for holding the respective transducers when they are not being used, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The transducer probe, coaxial cable, connector and yoke form a transducer probe assembly. If the operator wishes to connect a different probe to the system, an entire probe assembly is removed and replaced by the new probe assembly.
When a transducer probe 20 is held in a yoke 26, the cable 22 is suspended with its lowest portion not touching the floor. If allowed to hang freely, the suspended cables could be tangled with each other. To prevent the cables from becoming tangled, a plurality of cable spacers 28 are arranged at spaced intervals at a height below the operator console. The spacing between midplanes of adjacent spacers 28 is approximately equal to the spacing between midplanes of the yokes 26. Further, the spacers 28 are offset relative to the mid-planes of the yokes, as best seen in FIG. 1. This offset makes it possible to loop each of the suspended cables 22 behind a corresponding spacer 28, thereby separating the cables from each other.
The structure of the integral yoke/transducer connector in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in detail in FIG. 3. The transducer probe 20 has an array of transducer elements (not shown) which transmit ultrasound in a transmission mode and receive ultrasound echoes from the anatomy being examined in a reception mode. The signal electrodes of the transducer elements are electrically connected to one end of respective conductive wires (not shown) of the coaxial cable 22. The other end of the conductive wires of coaxial cable 22 are electrically connected to circuitry inside the connector box 30. The connector circuitry is in turn electrically connected to the port (not shown) in which it is plugged. That port is electrically connected to a transducer interface board (described in detail below with reference to FIG. 5).
In accordance with the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 6, a probe switch actuator 50 is incorporated in the integral yoke/transducer connector. This actuator has a pair of pivot pins 52 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 6) which are pivotably supported in respective slots 53 formed in a pair of arms 54 (only one of which appears in FIG. 6) which form part of a yoke assembly plate 56 securely mounted inside the connector box. Yoke assembly plate 56 also includes a support base 58, which supports the probe switch 32. The probe switch includes a contact arm 60 which is rotatable to open and close the probe switch 32, which is preferably a microswitch. The contact arm 60 is rotated to open the probe switch in response to a load exerted by a bearing pad 62 located at one end of the actuator sealing plate 64. The load is exerted by bearing pad 62 when the transducer probe is seated in the yoke space to cause the actuator 50 to pivot toward the yoke assembly plate 56. A generally U-shaped spring 72 has one arm which bears against and is supported by the yoke assembly plate 56 and another arm which bears against the pivot arm 66 of the actuator 50. Spring 72 urges actuator 50 to pivot away from the yoke assembly plate 56.
The actuator 50 has a contoured tongue 74 which is movable into and out of a position of interference with the transducer probe. Tongue 74 protrudes into the central space of the yoke via an opening 68 formed in the front wall of the connector box 24 and in the back wall 70 of the yoke 26. When the transducer probe is removed from the yoke, the tongue 74 of actuator 50 protrudes through opening 68 and into the central space of the yoke body in response to the urging of spring 72. When the transducer probe is returned to the yoke, the tongue 74 interferes with the seating of the transducer probe and is cammed out of the way by the probe when the force of the spring is counteracted.
When the transducer probe is returned to the yoke, it is dropped vertically downward into the yoke central space. As the probe displaces vertically downward, the probe housing will bear against the tongue 74, causing the actuator to pivot toward the yoke assembly plate 56. During this pivoting, the bearing pad 62 will displace along an arc for a distance sufficient to produce a rotation of contact arm 60 which causes a change in the ON/OFF state of the probe switch 32. A signal indicating this change of state is stored on the transducer interface board and transmitted to the master controller, as described in more detail below.
Thus, the probe switch 32 functions as a means of telling the system when the probe 20 has been lifted out of the probe holder or yoke 26. The probe switch 32 supplies a simple "on" and "off" passive response (single pole, single throw). The switch is closed when the probe is off the yoke and open when the probe is on the yoke. The circuit schematic for the probe switch is shown in FIG. 4.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment, the actuator tongue 74 extends into the center space of the yoke 26 when the transducer probe is out of the yoke. The sealing plate 64 blocks entry of residual acoustic coupling gel into the interior of the connector box via opening 68. In accordance with a further aspect of the invention, the moving parts of the actuator assembly shown in FIG. 6, namely, pivot pins 52, contact arm 60 and spring 72, are all mounted at locations which are removed from the points of acoustic coupling gel entry, i.e., the portions of opening 68 not blocked by sealing plate 64 and tongue 74. Consequently, these moving parts are less susceptible to being rendered inoperable due to the accumulation over time of residual acoustic coupling gel.
The present invention is used in conjunction with transducer interface 34 shown in FIG. 5. Up to four transducer probes can be connected to the imaging system via transducer connectors 24a-2d. When any one of the transducer connectors is plugged into a corresponding port in the imaging system, a Probe Present signal is produced which is stored in the probe present register 36.
As described above, each connector 24a-2d has a probe switch 32 for indicating whether the corresponding probe is coupled to the corresponding yoke. The resulting probe switch hook status signal is input into the system via a pin labeled HK (see FIG. 4) on the transducer connector. This pin is pulled high by a 5 kΩ resistor 46 (see FIG. 4) on the transducer interface board 34. A transducer probe will either leave the pin floating, or ground the pin to form a signal indicating that the probe has been removed from its hook. The resulting probe switch hook status signal is stored in the probe switch hook status register 38.
In addition, each transducer type has a unique 8-bit probe ID. There are 8 pins labeled PTY 0 to PTY 7 on the transducer connector. These pins are pulled high by 5 kΩ resistors on the transducer interface board 34. A transducer will either leave the pins floating, or ground them to form its unique probe ID. The probe ID signals are stored in probe ID register 40.
Depending on the contents of registers 36, 38 and 40, a system controller 42 outputs a Probe Select signal to the probe activation circuitry 44 on the transducer interface board 34. Probe activation circuitry 44 activates the selected transducer probe in response to that Probe Select signal.
The present invention can be used in conjunction with a transducer selection control program stored in system controller 42. The system controller periodically reads the contents of registers 36, 38 and 40 and processes the retrieved information in accordance with a stored algorithm to select a transducer for activation. The Probe Select signal sent to the probe activation circuitry 44 identifies the selected transducer. The selected transducer is activated by the probe activation circuitry 44 via the associated transducer connector. Radiofrequency data from the transducer element array is then multiplexed, under the control of the system controller, from the transducer connector to the beamforming circuitry (not shown) via the RF data lines 54 on the transducer interface board 34.
The foregoing preferred embodiment has been disclosed for the purpose of illustration. Variations and modifications will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art of ultrasound imaging systems. All such variations and modifications are intended to be encompassed by the claims set forth hereinafter.

For teachers who want to participate in the Note Project by sharing a lesson on appreciation with their students, we offer a Lesson Plan on "The Importance of Appreciation" that can be completed in 30-60 minutes. The lesson plan includes discussion questions, activities, and inspiring quotations about appreciation and gratitude. The goal is to help students understand the "why, who and how" of appreciation, and for each student to complete the lesson with a note of appreciation that they can send to someone.
As an additional assignment (which could be for extra credit!), students can also participate in the Note Project. There is no cost to participate. The students simply pledge to send at least one note of appreciation to someone – a pledge they can fulfill by sending the note they write as part of this lesson.

ANDRE RANDOLPH, 47th Round, New York Yankees, 2003
An original Golden Falcon in 2000, Andre Randolph was among the first class of four-year Felician baseball players in 2003, and was among the first members of the school's 100-hit club. A native of Franklin Lakes, N.J., Randolph went on to play one season each with the Class-A Staten Island Yankees and the independent Newark Bears. He is the son of former major-league player and manager Willie Randolph.
JERRY VASTO, 24th Round, Colorado Rockies, 2014
A left-handed pitcher, Vasto improved each season as a Golden Falcon before leaving behind one year of eligibility to sign with the Rockies. He capped his collegiate career by being named the CACC Pitcher of the Year, consensus First Team All-Region, and to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Honorable Mention All-America Team in 2014. With a 6-3 record, 1.84 ERA and school-record 79 strikeouts, he helped lead the Golden Falcons to their first CACC championship. Vasto left Felician as its all-time leader in strikeouts per nine innings.
SCOTT De JONG, 32nd Round, Los Angeles Dodgers, 2014
De Jong and Vasto were chosen hours apart on June 7, 2014. A power-hitting first-baseman, De Jong took a "redshirt" season at the University of Connecticut in 2012 before playing two years for the Golden Falcons and becoming draft-eligible. In Felician's CACC championship season of 2014, he set school wood-bat era records of seven home runs, 51 RBI and a .378 batting average. De Jong was named first-team All-CACC, first-team All-Region, and the New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association Division II/III Player of the Year.

Unfortunately, Roy's first acquaintance in Florida is Dana Matherson, a well-known bully. Then again, if Dana hadn t been sinking his thumbs into Roy's temples and mashing his face against the school-bus window, Roy might never have spotted the running boy. And the running boy is intriguing: he was running away from the school bus, carried no books, and here's the odd part wore no shoes. Sensing a mystery, Roy sets himself on the boy's trail. The chase introduces him to potty-trained alligators, a fake-fart champion, some burrowing owls, a renegade eco-avenger, and several extremely poisonous snakes with unnaturally sparkling tails.
Roy has most definitely arrived in Carl Hiaasen's Florida.
About the Author
Carl Hiaasen (b. 1953) is the "New York Times "bestselling and award-winning author of more than twenty adult and young adult novels and nonfiction titles, including the novels "Strip Tease "(1993) and "Skinny Dip "(2004), as well as the mystery-thrillers "Powder Burn "(1981), "Trap Line" (1982), and "A Death in China "(1984), which were cowritten with fellow "Miami Herald "journalist Bill Montalbano (1941 1998). Hiaasen is best known for his satirical writing and dark humor, much of which is directed at various social and political issues in his home state of Florida. He is an award-winning columnist for the "Miami Herald", and lives in Vero Beach.
Praise For…
"It seems unlikely that the master of noir-tinged, surrealistic black humor would write a novel for young readers. And yet, there has always been something delightfully juvenile about Hiaasen's imagination; beneath the bent cynicism lurks a distinctly 12-year-old cackle. In this thoroughly engaging tale of how middle schooler Roy Eberhardt, new kid in Coconut Cove, learns to love South Florida, Hiaasen lets his inner kid run rampant, both the subversive side that loves to see grown-ups make fools of themselves and the righteously indignant side, appalled at the mess being made of our planet. The story is full of offbeat humor, buffoonish yet charming supporting characters, and genuinely touching scenes of children enjoying the wildness of nature. He deserves a warm welcome into children's publishing."—Booklist

For years I've drank a lot. By this crowd, way too much. 1-2 with dinner and another 1-2 after; we sit and talk and sip something nice. Every night? Almost. When I go out with friends to bars, I don't keep track. I drink to the point of a hangover once or twice a year; there is a Christmas party coming that usually causes that.
The sugars give you false energy, so you need to compensate for it. You also dehydrate with it. Coffee does the same.
It has calories so you will end up being heavier.
I ride a lot too. Compared to my other drinking buddies, I am very skinny. Compared to my cycling buddies, I'm average to big.
If I compare a ride after a night with drinks to a night-prior with no drinks; I don't see a difference.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- TransCanada Corp. TRP, +0.46% TRP, +0.04% on Wednesday OK'd a $275 million terminal for its Keystone pipeline system. The Calgary, Alberta, energy infrastructure company said it received sufficient interest from oil and gas producers to build the terminal at the start of its Keystone pipeline system, which includes its existing pipelines and the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. TransCanada said it's seeing "strong demand from Western Canadian producers for new infrastructure to allow them to move crude oil into the Keystone system." Keystone stuck to its forecast to begin construction of the Keystone XL pipeline in 2013 with completion by 2015.

Greek lawmakers have approved a new round of drastic austerity measures after a long day of street battles between police and protesters left Athens buildings ablaze and the streets in chaos.
The deputies defied the 100,000-strong turnout in Athens and Thessaloniki and approved another round of stringent budget measures requested by Greece's international creditors in return for a $160 billion bailout.
It's not easy to live in these conditions ... By 2020 we will be the Germans' slaves.
Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos denounced the violence in the debate leading up to the vote, saying the street battles around the parliament building had no place in a democracy.
Making their point ... protesters clash with riot police in front of the Greek Parliament in Athens. Photo: AFP
Deputies ''will assume their responsibility'' and make the most important choice of ''advancing with Europe and the single currency'', Mr Papademos said shortly before the vote took place.
Dozens injured
The fire brigade said 10 buildings were set ablaze in central Athens, most of them by petrol bombs hurled by masked protesters who have been a common presence at anti-austerity marches since the crisis began in 2010. The health ministry said 54 people were injured in the day's events.
Angry ... protesters clash with riot police in Thessaloniki. Photo: AFP
Fire engines were initially unable to intervene because of the size of the protest and the chaos that filled the streets around the parliament building, where lawmakers debated the austerity plan ahead of a late-night vote. When protesters wearing gas masks tried to break through the riot police cordon around parliament, the standoff broke out into running battles, with tear gas canisters and rocks flying in opposite directions.
An estimated 80,000 protesters gathered in Athens, police said, matching the biggest turnouts achieved against earlier austerity packages last year, while around 20,000 also demonstrated in the second city of Thessaloniki.
Austerity or default
Protests in Greece
Thousands of demonstrators clashed with police as the Greek parliament prepared to vote on a new and deeply unpopular EU/IMF austerity deal, to secure a 130 billion euro bailout, aimed at saving Greece from bankruptcy. Photo: Getty Images
Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos told parliament it had to back the government-approved plan to unlock a 130 billion euros ($160 billion) rescue fund from the EU and the IMF, or Greece would be forced to default.
''The situation is very clear. Tonight at midnight before the markets open the Greek parliament must send the message that our nation can and will (support the debt deal),'' Mr Venizelos said.
The pressure on Greece is huge as leaders in the euro-zone core countries express their exasperation with Athens and increasingly minimise the wider dangers of the country stumbling out of the single currency.
German Economy Minister Philipp Roesler on Sunday said the prospect of such an exit is becoming a ''D-Day'' that is ''less scary''.
Mr Roesler also pushed Greece to commit more to reforms, saying that it was making less effort than Portugal and Spain.
Tough measures
The proposed measures are expected to heap more hardship on ordinary Greeks already suffering from the crisis. They involve a 22-per cent cut in the minimum wage (32 per cent for workers under 25); deregulating the labour market to make it easier to lay off workers; and a package of tax and pension reforms.
Sunday's protesters included trade unionists, youths with shaven heads waving Greek flags, communist activists and left-wing sympathisers, many of them equipped with gas masks.
Many families also joined in the rally, although the square was quickly cleared after the first round of tear gas was fired, before filling up again.
They denounced what they describe as blackmail being imposed by the international troika of the EU, the IMF and the European Central Bank in return for the bailout.
''It's not easy to live in these conditions,'' said 49-year-old engineer Andreas Maragoudakis. ''By 2020 we will be the Germans' slaves.''
Civil engineer Anastasia Papadaki, 27, said ''the measures are not the solutions to the problem as they will not bring growth''.''It's just the international community blackmailing us.''
The deputies were to also back a bond swap agreed with private creditors which will wipe out around 100 billion euros from Greece's 350-billion-euro debt, reducing the country's massive debt burden to 120 per cent of GDP.
Mr Venizelos said the government must carry out the bond swap by Friday in order to have enough time to prevent a chaotic bankruptcy when Greece faces a wave of nearly 14.5 billion euros in maturing debt on March 14.
''If that does not happen, the country will be bankrupt,'' Mr Venizelos said.
'Greece needs to do its own homework'
The EU and IMF say they have had enough of broken promises and that the funds will be released only with the clear commitment of Greek political leaders that they will implement the reforms whoever wins an election potentially in April.
Euro zone paymaster Germany ratcheted up the pressure yesterday.
"The promises from Greece aren't enough for us anymore," German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said in an interview published yesterday in the Welt am Sonntag newspaper.
German opinion polls show a majority of Germans are willing to help, mr Schaeuble said, "but it's important to say that it cannot be a bottomless pit ... At least people are now starting to realise it won't work with a bottomless pit.
"Greece needs to do its own homework to become competitive - whether that happens in conjunction with a new rescue program or by another route that we actually don't want to take."
When asked if that other "route" meant Greece quitting the euro zone, Mr Schaeuble said: "That is all in the hands of the Greeks themselves. But even in the event [Greece leaves the euro zone], which almost no one assumes will happen, they will still remain part of Europe."
The austerity measures include cutting the minimum wage from about 750 euros a month and aim to cut Greece's bloated state sector workforce by about 150,000 people by 2015.
It also provides for a bond swap to ease Greece's debt burden by cutting the real value of private-sector investors' bond holdings by some 70 per cent. Greece will miss a February 17 deadline to offer a debt "haircut" to private bondholders if the vote is not passed today.

Local compositionApril 10,2013
Jim Lowes article (Times Argus, April 4) about Counterpoints new series of concerts nicely conveyed the excitement that comes with the performance of music by the excellent composers who live and compose in Vermont communities. Counterpoint and its director, Nathaniel Lew, are to be commended on the ambitious program.
At one point in the article, it was speculated that this might have been the first such choral concert of Vermont composers ever to have been given in this state.
It was not.
Twenty years ago, the Randolph-based choral group Sounding Joy! presented a program entirely by composers living not only just in Vermont, but just in the Randolph area. Works presented were by Gwyneth Walker, Kathy Wonson Eddy, Eric Nielsen and Justin Morgan. The audience was enthralled. (In addition to the work of those four certifiably local composers, it must be admitted, there was also a mini-performance of the National Emblem March by the noted band composer E.E. Bagley, who lived briefly in Randolph and may have composed this great march while he was here. The Sounding Joy! performance of this work was rendered exclusively on kazoos.)

Kenna Warren
Kenna's live in Tristein used to be great, she was sociable and would always make conversation with anyone arround her. However that all changed when she learned that her older brother died of a sudden illness. Ever since Kenna's parents were killed when she was young, her brother had took Kenna under his wing and looked after her like she was his own child. When she heard the news, she was filled with so much hatred and anger that her fire power practically took on a live on its own. Now Kenna is lucky if atleast one person talks to her.
Kenna is the kind of girl who hides in a book instead of dealing with the drama of life. She hides her emotions and tries not to let anyone bother her. She is very quiet and very shy, but she can also speak her mind when she needs too. She can be very smart when she chooses to be. Kenna is a strong dreamer who is filled with passion and desire but she is scared to go for the things she wants. When Kenna summoned a commoner, she was happy because she hopes that she is not as alone as she thought.
Magic school:
Kenna has long dark brown hair that is nearly the shade of black. She normally keeps her hair in a high ponytail. Her skin is very pale which makes hazel eyes, her full lips and the birth mark under her right eye really stand out. She is not quite tall but not that small, she is somewhere in the middle. She always has a small silver ring that her brother bought her for good luck not long before he died, she never takes it off and refuses to part with it.
Amount of time spent RPing:
Medium on weekdays due to homework and course work, but high on weekends.

Indecent-behavior arrest in Houma
HOUMA — A Many resident was arrested for allegedly engaging in online sexual conduct with a state trooper posing as a 14-year-old girl.
Nelson Canter, 36, 670 Patton Road, exposed himself on his webcam and sent nude photos to the officer, stationed in Houma, State Police said. He also asked the "girl" to do the same.
Canter was in the Terrebonne jail today on a $100,000 bond.
Fight leads to alleged kidnapping
HOUMA — A 24-year-old was arrested Monday for allegedly kidnapping his girlfriend after she talked to her ex-boyfriend.
Matthew Marcel, 111A Pecan St., got into a fight with the woman, forced her into his car and recklessly drove around Houma, police said.
The girl escaped from the car on La. 182 near Hollywood Road and called authorities, police said. Marcel was arrested at Rou Tete Rouge Trailer Park and taken to the Terrebonne Parish jail. He remains jailed on a $10,000 bond.
Zoning panel meets Tuesday
THIBODAUX — Thibodaux's Planning and Zoning board will meet Tuesday to consider a new subdivision at Glenwild Drive and St. Patrick Highway. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in City Hall, 310 W. Second St.
Levee Board meets today
HOUMA — The Terrebonne Levee Board will hold a special meeting tonight to discuss bids received for a floodgate on the Houma Navigation Canal and consider bids for a second floodgate on Bayou Grand Caillou.
The meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. at the board's offices, 220 Clendenning Road.
Council changes March meetings
HOUMA — The Terrebonne Parish Council rescheduled next week's meetings to avoid conflict with Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday.
The council will now hold committee meetings March 14 and 28 and regular meetings March 16 and 30.
Nicholls officials tapped for panel
THIBODAUX — The appointment of two Nicholls State officials was confirmed last week by the board that governs Nicholls and seven other universities in Louisiana.
The University of Louisiana System Board approved Larry Howell as interim executive vice president and Mike Naquin as chief financial officer.
Help cancer patients, families
HOUMA — The local American Cancer Society office is seeking volunteers to help with its Resource Center in Chabert Medical Center.
Training is available. Call 851-7776 or 1-800-227-2345.
In a story Wednesday, The Courier mischaracterized a statement interim Houma Police Chief Todd Duplantis made during a trial.
At issue was a lawsuit in which Lt. Darryl Cunningham alleged that Duplantis and others harassed him, in part, because he contacted Courier and Daily Comet reporters about department affairs. A judge dismissed the suit Monday.
In court, Duplantis did not explicitly say he misled reporter John DeSantis during a phone conversation.
Under questioning by attorneys, Duplantis acknowledged that he did not identify himself during the call and knew the reporter believed he was talking to Cunningham. But Duplantis testified that DeSantis did the talking; the chief said he never had a chance to identify himself.

In this study, you will watch a short, randomly selected video of an individual and make decisions and predictions about his/her behavior and emotions. The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete and all responses are strictly anonymous.
We get inspiring emails from around the world, but this one stood out to us. It's from a mother in Birmingham, Alabama, who is looking to start a Hollaback in Birmingham this summer. She writes:
"You are probably familiar with the iconic "southern belles" of movie lore. While this is a stereotype, it is somewhat grounded in truth. In Alabama, most women are taught that our strength lies within our ability to quietly endure whatever befalls us. We are constantly told that we can neutralize the institutional violence against our persons by putting on a friendly face. Not only does this create an unbearable cognitive dissonance (after all, we're taught that human lives have value, but are asked to devalue our own), it is also a fallacy. Study after study has proven that this response can actually single us out as good victims to predators. I want to inspire other women to stand up for themselves. I want to create solidarity in my city, which has been so scarred by racism, classism, and sexism. It's time for the women of this community to come together and confront these old fallacies, which have been used to silence us for too long."
As a fellow southerner, this one gave me chills. This is a sign of good things to come from Birmingham.

If you've ever lived or studied abroad, you may have celebrated a holiday that we have yet to recognize widely here in the States: International Women's Day.
In Italy, men give handfuls of flowers to the women in their lives each year on March 8.
Google changes its logo for everything, but Hollaback couldn't help but notice no cool new logo last year for the holiday. Some internet research reveals that Google appeared to have added the female symbol to its logo back in 2005, but nothing has been done since. Apparently this is not the case for Google users abroad who report that the company has in fact been keeping up with the holiday.
What is your experience? Have you ever celebrated or been the recipient of gifts on International Women's Day while abroad? How do people in other cultures celebrate this day, and can anyone explain Google's reluctance to honor it?

After being raped at gunpoint in her Harlem apartment in 2001, Jana Leo resolved to fight back not only against the rapist but against the landlord whose greed and calculated recklessness set the stage for the break-in. Encountering police disinterest, a health care system that refused to pay for a rape kit, and a beleaguered district attorney's office, Leo sought justice for the violence of the attack, an experience that has resonated throughout her life.
The Feminist Press, along with Center for the Humanities at CUNY, RightRides, and Hollaback!, is sponsoring a series of dialogues to commemorate artist, philosopher, and architecture scholar Jana Leo's forthcoming book Rape New York (Feminist Press, February 2011). Jana will be joined by writer and curator Gavin Browning, feminist writer and organizer Jennifer Baumgardner, architect and SUPERFRONT founder Mitch McEwen, and Michelle Anderson, Dean of CUNY Law School.
Join Hollaback! in Fort Greene on Monday, February 21 for the third discussion of the series.

Girl with pen + typewriter = revolution. Here's where we found this.
The words in this image show how i feel when being harassed.
This is reposted from HollabackATLANTA.
"A Republican state legislator in Georgia doesn't like the term rape "victim." In fact, he has introduced a bill mandating that state criminal codes refer to these people as, simply, "accusers" — until there's a conviction in the matter."
Thankfully, there is some actual common sense in the Democrats' rebuttal:
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee writes, "To diminish a victim's ordeal by branding him/her an accuser essentially questions whether the crime committed against the victim is a crime at all. Robbery, assault, and fraud are all real crimes with real victims, the Republican asserts with this bill."
Ironically, renaming from victim to accuser would probably be a more appropriate name for the way the system and our culture treats survivors of rape. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), only 60% of all rapes are reported in the first place, and there's been recent buzz about a surprising number of rape kits not being tested. So, with all of this working against rape victims, Representative Bobby Franklin wants to add another strike against justice for those who experience rape by implying that a crime never occurred — if one of the foundational rules of our country's legal system is "Innocent until proven guilty," then we need to apply this philosophy to our rape victims too.
Stay tuned for a way that you can take actions against this renaming!
Meet Inti Maria, the Badass Painter fighting street harassment in Buenos Aires.
What's your signature Hollaback? A second and a half side eye. Makes 'em quiver.
Why do you HOLLA? Because everyone has a right to enjoy city life to the fullest!
What's your craft? : I'm interested in art that finds it's niche outside of the art-market – like mail art, street art and art made with the intention of being reproduced anywhere, downloaded or passed around. I am a painter and an art theorist too! I'm into critical theory and philosophy especially how economic and political systems drive and/or manipulate art production and structures that exist and survive outside of that.
HOLLAfact about your Buenos Aires: There are tons of cool queer and feminist stencils around.
What was your first experience with street harassment? I was only 12! My family and I were on holiday in Mar del Plata and took my younger brother to play Street Fighter in an arcade while my mum did some shopping. I was alone playing tetris, sitting on a tall stool. This short man came and stood beside me. It took me ages to realize that the hard thing pressing into my hip wasn't the stool. He was grinning at me. I ran away and pushed the stool over towards him. I tried to tell my brother but he didn't really understand, so I went to our hotel and locked myself in the bathroom for a few hours and cried. It was a truly horrific experience!
Say you're Queen for the day, what would you do to end street harassment? Make a machine that made one feel what it is like to experience street harassment. Make it compulsory for street harassers. Extend it to other forms of gender violence.
My superheroine power is … My badass strut!
Define your style: I like baggy/big teamed with skinny and simple shoes. I love signature jewelry. I'm all about fabrics.
What do you collect? Small handmade ceramic cups and teapots.
If you could leave the world one piece of advice, what would it be? Live your life your own way.
In the year 2020, street harassment … will be something people can talk about and feel comfortable discussing in public as an offense.
Tell us more! I identify as queer. I (mostly) like gurls. Peace 🙂
What inspires you? People who fight the good fight and those that support them.
If anyone needs help with translations, Inti Maria has experience in translation, especially from Spanish and Portuguese into English.

Labor Party asks supporters to help fund its own daily news service
- From: News Corp Australia
- April 30, 2014
LABOR's National Secretary has written to supporters asking them to reach into their pockets so the party can create its "own news service", just like Crikey.
George Wright said they were seeking donations — and an editor — to get the new online Labor Herald off the ground.
SHORTEN: Tony Abbott cannot be trusted
"You've told us you want more factual information about what Tony Abbott and his government are doing and you want the opportunity to have your say," Mr Wright said in an email to supporters.
Lifestyle editor: Bob Carr #LaborHerald— Kemal Atlay (@kemal_atlay) April 30, 2014
"You've told us that you can see the Labor message isn't making it through the mainstream
media and we have to produce our own news service.
"I agree," he said.
But there is a "catch".
Social Affairs Editor Jessica Rudd #LaborHerald— Osman Faruqi (@oz_f) April 30, 2014
"We don't get the big corporate donations the Liberal Party gets and we need to hire someone experienced as an editor so we can do this properly," the National Secretary argued.
Their job would be to write both "useful and interesting" articles on issues like the Commission on audit and cuts to pensions, he said, for a salary of about $95,000 a year.
Entertainment Editor: Craig Thomson #LaborHerald— Wes Mountain (@therevmountain) April 30, 2014
Those who were keen to become foundation subscribers would need to donate $22.60 a month, but they'd be willing to take as little as a $10 donation.
"As well as the latest news we want to make sure we hear from you and our editor will be in charge of finding the very best content submitted by the public and making sure it gets published," Mr Wright said.
@oz_f property editor: edward obeid— Adam Brereton (@adambrereton) April 30, 2014
"We'll send a daily bulletin out to everyone who signs up so you can get up to date information on what's happening each day. A bit like Labor's own Crikey."
"It will be no nonsense and it won't be filtered through the mainstream media.
"I believe it's really important that we do this. We need our own news and we need a place where we can hear each other's views."
Have your say

Hello, I've been working on my brakes for the past two days, had the common rotor wear (bumpy stops) and have the struts making for a bumpy ride (again common because, it's got 170k miles on it). However, I just had the front brakes done, the lines bled new calipers and mouting brackets as well as rotors and pads put on. My brake fluid is full to the gills with no air in the lines. I have pressure going to the brake pedal when the car is off but the second I turn the car off I'm losing pressure instantly and have to have the pedal to the floor to even have some sense of brakes. Any ideas on what it could be???

My LBS put my newly acquired AT together a few hours ago (my first full recumbent). What a blast! I've only had the opportunity to give it a twenty minute test drive before retiring it for the evening due to previous commitments, but I'll be up at dawn to give it a full workout & adjustment tweaks.
It's not a totally foreign experience to me, as my current rides are semi-recumbents (Rans Fusion & Rans Cruz), but I'm already loving this bike as much as my current pair (which is saying something).
One minor disappointment..... I was under the impression that the sweet seat back on my bike had three adjustment angles, but it apparently isn't so on mine..... at least not that I can see.
I have already, by the way, ordered the replacement sliders from Bicycleman when I checked mine out & realized they hadn't been replaced (due to the recall on these).

Public Trust: Sixty-one percent polled say President Obama lies "some of the time" or "most of the time" on matters of national importance. Americans have to ask: Why do we let him get away with it?
It's no surprise that a Fox News poll of 1,012 registered voters last week found immense distrust of a president whose main domestic initiative was based on a lie. The shock is that the same poll found his disapproval level down to its lowest since last fall.
Asked, "How often do you think Barack Obama lies to the country on important matters?" 37% replied "most of the time" while 24% answered "some of the time." Twenty percent said, "Only now and then."
The least popular response was "never," with only 15% considering our president completely honest when he's speaking to the nation about big things.
Not only does this mean that 61% believe Obama to be a habitual liar, with most of those believing that most of what comes from his mouth is a lie; it also means that 81% think he has lied as president about important matters at least occasionally.
How could they not? For years, millions trusted him when he swore that "If you like the plan you have, you can keep it. If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too. The only change you'll see are falling costs as our reforms take hold."
None of that has been true, of course. Yet this same president only last May could be found engaging in a near-self parody.
"Don't let people confuse you," he told a group of ObamaCare supporters in the East Room. "Don't let them run the okey-doke on you. Don't be bamboozled."
Even Richard Nixon was not this brazen.
The nation was disgusted with Nixon's offenses, and public pressure forced him from office. But this latest Fox poll found that Obama's approval fell to 51% from the 53%-55% range of Fox's seven previous polls. You have to go back to early October 2013, when it was 49%, to find approval of Obama lower.
German physician Anton Delbrueck, about 120 years ago, decided that a new psychological classification — "pseudologia fantastica" — was required after noting that some of his patients were incessant liars. Whether that explains the last two Democrat presidents, today we might need a joint psychological/sociological study of the mass tendency of the country to accept systematic lying from the highest level of government.
The researchers can start with the country's establishment media. Last week, White House press secretary Jay Carney, interviewed at George Washington University, remarked that during 2012 "probably the toughest interview" Obama was subjected to was the one conducted by funnyman Jon Stewart.
"Probably the most substantive, challenging interview Barack Obama had in the election year was with the anchor of 'The Daily Show,' " Carney said.
Not "serious" TV interviewers such as Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes," whose questions of Obama in the heat of the 2012 campaign included:
"Where do you go to kind of sort things out on your own? And when do you find time to just be alone with your own thoughts?"
Not "Good Morning America's" Robin Roberts, who in May of that election year, while using her interview to provide a nationally televised forum for Obama's big switch on same-sex marriage — another broken promise — threw this hardball:
"Mother's Day. Sasha and Malia. Do you have plans for Mrs. Obama?"
It is disgraceful enough for the most prominent journalists to refuse to ask real questions of the most powerful politician in the country because they share his left-wing ideology.
But when a large majority of the public recognizes a president as a habitual liar, it is outrageous and entirely un-American for the most powerful within the nation's press to let him get away with his lies, and betray what they claim to stand for.
