pre-order Home Cinema by Emma Kupa
# On Wed 18th Feb 2015 @ 7:39am John said...Emma Kupa, former Standard Fare front woman, releases her first solo material on wiaiwya in March 2015.
Home Cinema is a mini album; six songs of spritely jangle-folk-indie-country, about family, death, drink problems, holocaust survivors and communism.
Home Cinema is a succinct, catchy and honest record; it feels like Emma is entrusting you with her closest family secrets, but - damn her - shes putting them to a tune so infectious theres nothing you can do to keep them to yourself. Home Cinema features six earworms about members of Emmas family:
Katie was my grandmothers cousin who I struck up a friendship with and visited before she died; she had very blue eyes. Charlie was my grandad and a handsome Jewish communist. There Will Come A Day is about my mum; she is the serious looking twin on the records cover. Her mother (on the far left) died when she was 5.

Article: Accuracy of Effective Dose Estimation in Personal Dosimetry: A Comparison Between Single-badge and Double-badge Methods and the MOSFET Method[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was three-fold: (1) to measure the transmission properties of various lead shielding materials, (2) to benchmark the accuracy of commercial film badge readings, and (3) to compare the accuracy of effective dose (ED) conversion factors (CF) of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission methods to the MOSFET method. The transmission properties of lead aprons and the accuracy of film badges were studied using an ion chamber and monitor. ED was determined using an adult male anthropomorphic phantom that was loaded with 20 diagnostic MOSFET detectors and scanned with a whole body CT protocol at 80, 100, and 120 kVp. One commercial film badge was placed at the collar and one at the waist. Individual organ doses and waist badge readings were corrected for lead apron attenuation. ED was computed using ICRP 103 tissue weighting factors, and ED CFs were calculated by taking the ratio of ED and badge reading. The measured single badge CFs were 0.01 (±14.9%), 0.02 (±9.49%), and 0.04 (±15.7%) for 80, 100, and 120 kVp, respectively. Current regulatory ED CF for the single badge method is 0.3; for the double-badge system, they are 0.04 (collar) and 1.5 (under lead apron at the waist). The double-badge system provides a better coefficient for the collar at 0.04; however, exposure readings under the apron are usually negligible to zero. Based on these findings, the authors recommend the use of ED CF of 0.01 for the single badge system from 80 kVp (effective energy 50.4 keV) data.Health physics 05/2014; 106(5):551-7.

Article: Evaluation of Patient Effective Dose of Neurovascular Imaging Protocols for C-Arm Cone-Beam CT.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was threefold: to estimate the organ doses and effective doses (EDs) for seven neurovascular imaging protocols, to study the effect of beam collimation on ED, and to derive protocol-specific dose-area product (DAP)-to-ED conversion factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A cone-beam CT system was used to measure the organ doses for seven neurovascular imaging protocols. Two datasets were obtained: seven protocols without beam collimation (FOV, entire head) and four with beam collimation (FOV, from the base to the top of the skull). Measurements were performed on an adult male anthropomorphic phantom with 20 metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) detectors placed in selected organs. The DAP values were recorded from the console. The EDs of five protocols were also estimated using Monte Carlo simulations software. The ED values were computed by multiplying measured organ doses to corresponding International Commission on Radiological Protection tissue-weighting factors. RESULTS. Without collimation, the EDs ranged from 0.16 to 1.6 mSv, and the DAP-to-ED conversion factors ranged from 0.035 to 0.076 mSv/Gy·cm(2). For the four protocols investigated with beam collimation, the ED was reduced by a factor of approximately 2, and the DAP-to-ED conversion factors were reduced by approximately 30%. For the five protocols also estimated with the Monte Carlo method, the estimated EDs were in agreement (< 20% deviation) with those determined by the MOSFET method. CONCLUSION. We have estimated ED for standard adult neuroimaging protocols in a 3D rotational angiography system. Our results provide a simple means of ED estimation using DAP console readings.American Journal of Roentgenology 05/2014; 202(5):1072-7. DOI:10.2214/AJR.13.11001 · 2.74 Impact Factor
Article: Estimation of Radiation Exposure for Brain Perfusion CT: Standard Protocol Compared With Deviations in Protocol[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to measure the organ doses and estimate the effective dose for the standard brain perfusion CT protocol and erroneous protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS. An anthropomorphic phantom with metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) detectors was scanned on a 64-MDCT scanner. Protocol 1 used a standard brain perfusion protocol with 80 kVp and fixed tube current of 200 mA. Protocol 2 used 120 kVp and fixed tube current of 200 mA. Protocol 3 used 120 kVp with automatic tube current modulation (noise index, 2.4; minimum, 100 mA; maximum, 520 mA). RESULTS. Compared with protocol 1, the effective dose was 2.8 times higher with protocol 2 and 7.8 times higher with protocol 3. For all protocols, the peak dose was highest in the skin, followed by the brain and calvarial marrow. Compared with protocol 1, the peak skin dose was 2.6 times higher with protocol 2 and 6.7 times higher with protocol 3. The peak skin dose for protocol 3 exceeded 3 Gy. The ocular lens received significant scatter radiation: 177 mGy for protocol 2 and 435 mGy for protocol 3, which were 4.6 and 11.3 times the dose for protocol 1, respectively. CONCLUSION. Compared with the standard protocol, erroneous protocols of increasing the tube potential from 80 kVp to 120 kVp will lead to a three- to fivefold increase in organ doses, and concurrent use of high peak kilovoltage with incorrectly programmed tube current modulation can increase dose to organs by 7- to 11-fold. Tube current modulation with a low noise index can lead to doses to the skin and ocular lens that are close to thresholds for tissue reactions.American Journal of Roentgenology 09/2013; 201(5).

Article: Comparison of Radiation Dose Estimates and Scan Performance in Pediatric High-Resolution Thoracic CT for Volumetric 320-Detector Row, Helical 64-Detector Row, and Noncontiguous Axial Scan Acquisitions.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Efforts to decrease radiation exposure during pediatric high-resolution thoracic computed tomography (HRCT), while maintaining diagnostic image quality, are imperative. The objective of this investigation was to compare organ doses and scan performance for pediatric HRCT using volume, helical, and noncontiguous axial acquisitions. Thoracic organ doses were measured using 20 metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor dosimeters. Mean and median organ doses and scan durations were determined and compared for three acquisition modes in a 5-year-old anthropomorphic phantom using similar clinical pediatric scan parameters. Image noise was measured and compared in identical regions within the thorax. There was a significantly lower dose in lung (1.8 vs 2.7 mGy, P < .02) and thymus (2.3 vs 2.7 mGy, P < .02) between volume and noncontiguous axial modes and in lung (1.8 vs 2.3 mGy, P < .02), breast (1.8 vs 2.6 mGy, P < .02), and thymus (2.3 vs 2.4 mGy, P < .02) between volume and helical modes. There was a significantly lower median image noise for volume compared to helical and axial modes in lung (55.6 vs 79.3 and 70.7) and soft tissue (76.0 vs 111.3 and 89.9). Scan times for volume, helical, and noncontiguous axial acquisitions were 0.35, 3.9, and 24.5 seconds, respectively. Volumetric HRCT provides an opportunity for thoracic organ dose and image noise reduction, at significantly faster scanning speeds, which may benefit pediatric patients undergoing surveillance studies for diffuse lung disease.Academic radiology 09/2013; 20(9):1152-61.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: Computed tomography (CT) utilization over the last three decades has increased exponentially. CT is commonly used to evaluate many urologic conditions. Ionizing radiation exposure from medical imaging has been linked to the risk of developing malignancy. We measured the organ doses (OD) and calculated effective doses (ED) of different studies and determined if the dose length product (DLP) method is an accurate estimation of radiation exposure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An anthropomorphic male phantom that has been validated for human organ dosimetry measurements was used to determine radiation doses. High sensitivity MOSFET dosimeters were placed at 20 organ locations to measure specific OD. For each study, the phantom was scanned three times using our institutional protocols. ODs were measured and the ED was calculated (EDMOSFET). The EDMOSFET were compared to calculated EDs (EDcal) derived from the DLP. RESULTS: The EDMOSFET for stone protocol CT, chest CT, CT abdomen and pelvis, CT urogram and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) protocol CT were 3.04 ± 0.34, 4.34 ± 0.27, 5.19 ± 0.64, 9.73 ± 0.71 and 11.42 ± 0.24 milliSievert (mSv), respectively. The EDcal for these studies were 3.33, 2.92, 5.84, 9.64 and 10.06 mSv, p=0.8478. CONCLUSIONS: Effective doses in different urologic CT studies vary considerably. Renal stone protocol CT is accompanied by the lowest dose while CT urogram and RCC protocol accumulate the highest EDs. EDcal derived from the DLP is a reasonable estimate of patient radiation exposure.The Journal of urology 06/2013; 190(6). DOI:10.1016/j.juro.2013.06.013 · 3.75 Impact Factor
Article: Radiation Exposure in the follow-up of patients with urolithiasis comparing Digital Tomosynthesis, Non-Contrast CT, Standard KUB and IVP.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: To compare the effective doses (ED) associated with imaging modalities for follow-up of patients with urolithiasis, including stone protocol NCCT, KUB, IVP and digital tomosynthesis (DT). Methods: A validated Monte Carlo simulation-based software PCXMC 2.0 (STUK, Finland) designed for estimation of patient dose from medical x-ray exposures was used to determine the ED for KUB, IVP (KUB scout plus 3 tomographic images) and DT (2 scouts and 1 tomographic sweep). Simulations were performed using a 2D stationary field onto the corresponding body area of the built-in digital phantom, with actual kVp, mAs, and geometrical parameters of the protocols. The ED for NCCT was determined using an anthropomorphic male phantom which was placed prone on a 64-slice GE Healthcare VCT scanner. High sensitivity metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET) dosimeters were placed at 20 organ locations and used to measure organ radiation doses. Results: The ED for a stone protocol NCCT was 3.04±0.34 mSv. The ED for a KUB was 0.63 mSv and 1.1 mSv for the additional tomographic film. The total ED for IVP was 3.93 mSv. The ED for digital tomosynthesis performed with two scouts and one sweep (60.0°) was 0.83 mSv. Conclusions: Among the different imaging modalities for follow-up of patients with urolithiasis, DT was associated with the least radiation exposure (0.83 mSv). This effective dose corresponds to a fifth of NCCT or IVP studies. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the sensitivity and specificity of DT for the follow-up of nephrolithiasis patients.Journal of endourology / Endourological Society 06/2013; DOI:10.1089/end.2013.0255 · 1.75 Impact Factor
Article: Comparison of radiation dose estimates, image noise, and scan duration in pediatric body imaging for volumetric and helical modes on 320-detector CT and helical mode on 64-detector CT[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Advanced multidetector CT systems facilitate volumetric image acquisition, which offers theoretic dose savings over helical acquisition with shorter scan times. OBJECTIVE: Compare effective dose (ED), scan duration and image noise using 320- and 64-detector CT scanners in various acquisition modes for clinical chest, abdomen and pelvis protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ED and scan durations were determined for 64-detector helical, 160-detector helical and volume modes under chest, abdomen and pelvis protocols on 320-detector CT with adaptive collimation and 64-detector helical mode on 64-detector CT without adaptive collimation in a phantom representing a 5-year-old child. Noise was measured as standard deviation of Hounsfield units. RESULTS: Compared to 64-detector helical CT, all acquisition modes on 320-detector CT resulted in lower ED and scan durations. Dose savings were greater for chest (27-46%) than abdomen/pelvis (18-28%) and chest/abdomen/pelvis imaging (8-14%). Noise was similar across scanning modes, although some protocols on 320-detector CT produced slightly higher noise. CONCLUSION: Dose savings can be achieved for chest, abdomen/pelvis and chest/abdomen/pelvis examinations on 320-detector CT compared to helical acquisition on 64-detector CT, with shorter scan durations. Although noise differences between some modes reached statistical significance, this is of doubtful diagnostic significance and will be studied further in a clinical setting.Pediatric Radiology 05/2013; 43(9).

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Patients with recurrent nephrolithiasis are often evaluated and followed with computerized tomography (CT). Obesity is a risk factor for the development of nephrolithiasis. We evaluated the radiation dose from CT for obese and non-obese adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A validated, anthropomorphic male phantom was scanned according to our institutional protocol for evaluation of renal stones. The obese model consisted of the phantom wrapped in two Custom Fat Layers, which have been verified to have the same radiographic tissue density as fat. High sensitivity metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor dosimeters were placed at 20 organ locations in the phantoms to measure organ specific radiation doses. The non-obese and obese model have an approximate BMI of 24 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2, respectively. Three runs of the renal stone protocol CT were performed on each phantom under automatic tube current modulation. Organ-specific absorbed doses were measured and the effective doses were calculated. RESULTS: For both models, the bone marrow received the highest dose, with the skin receiving the second highest dose. The mean effective dose for the non-obese model was 3.04 ± 0.34 milli- Sieverts (mSv), while the effective dose for the obese model was 10.22 ± 0.50 mSv, p<0.0001. CONCLUSIONS: The effective dose of stone protocol CT for obese patients is more than three-fold higher than the dose for a non-obese patient using automatic tube current modulation. The implication of this finding extends beyond the urologic stone population and adds to our understanding of radiation exposure from medical imaging.The Journal of urology 12/2012; DOI:10.1016/j.juro.2012.12.029 · 3.75 Impact Factor
Article: Radiation Dose Estimation for Prospective and Retrospective ECG-Gated Cardiac CT Angiography in Infants and Small Children Using a 320-MDCT Volume Scanner[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to determine patient dose estimates for clinical pediatric cardiac-gated CT angiography (CTA) protocols on a 320-MDCT volume scanner. Organ doses were measured using 20 metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) dosimeters. Radiation dose was estimated for volumetrically acquired clinical pediatric prospectively and retrospectively ECG-gated cardiac CTA protocols in 5-year-old and 1-year-old anthropomorphic phantoms on a 320-MDCT scanner. Simulated heart rates of 60 beats/min (5-year-old phantom) and 120 beats/min (1- and 5-year-old phantoms) were used. Effective doses (EDs) were calculated using average measured organ doses and International Commission on Radiological Protection 103 tissue-weighting factors. Dose-length product (DLP) was recorded for each examination and was used to develop dose conversion factors for pediatric cardiac examinations acquired with volume scan mode. DLP was also used to estimate ED according to recently published dose conversion factors for pediatric helical chest examinations. Repeated measures and paired Student t test analyses were performed. For the 5-year-old phantom, at 60 beats/min, EDs ranged from 1.2 mSv for a prospectively gated examination to 4.5 mSv for a retrospectively gated examination. For the 5-year-old phantom, at 120 beats/min, EDs ranged from 3.0 mSv for a prospectively gated examination to 4.9 mSv for a retrospectively gated examination. For the 1-year-old phantom, at 120 beats/min, EDs ranged from 2.7 mSv for a prospectively gated examination to 4.5 mSv for a retrospectively gated examination. EDs for 320-MDCT volumetrically acquired ECG-gated pediatric cardiac CTA are lower than those published for conventional 16- and 64-MDCT scanners.American Journal of Roentgenology 11/2012; 199(5):1129-35.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to assess the radiation dose distribution and image quality for organ-based dose modulation during adult thoracic MDCT. Organ doses were measured using an anthropomorphic adult female phantom containing 30 metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor detectors on a dual-source MDCT scanner with two protocols: standard tube current modulation thoracic CT and organ-based dose modulation using a 120° radial arc. Radiochromic film measured the relative axial dose. Noise was measured to evaluate image quality. Breast tissue location across the anterior aspect of the thorax was retrospectively assessed in 100 consecutive thoracic MDCT examinations. There was a 17-47% decrease (p = < 0.05) in anterior thoracic organ dose and a maximum 52% increase (p = < 0.05) in posterior thoracic organ dose using organ-based dose modulation compared with tube current modulation. Effective dose (SD) for tube current modulation and organ-based dose modulation were 5.25 ± 0.36 mSv and 4.42 ± 0.30 mSv, respectively. Radiochromic film analysis showed a 30% relative midline anterior-posterior gradient. There was no statistically significant difference in image noise. Adult female breast tissue was located within an average anterior angle of 155° (123-187°). Organ-based dose modulation CT using an anterior 120° arc can reduce the organ dose in the anterior aspect of the thorax with a compensatory organ dose increase posteriorly without impairment of image quality. Laterally located breast tissue will have higher organ doses than medially located breast tissue when using organ-based dose modulation. The benefit of this dose reduction must be clinically determined on the basis of the relationship of the irradiated organs to the location of the prescribed radial arc used in organ-based dose modulation.American Journal of Roentgenology 07/2012; 199(1):W65-73.

Article: SU-D-217BCD-06: Evaluation of Effective Dose during Neuro 3-D Imaging Using a C-Arm Cone-Beam CT System.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Purpose: The purpose of this study was three-fold: 1) to estimate the organ doses and effective dose (ED) for patients undergoing neuro 3D-imaging protocols, 2) to study the effect of beam collimation on ED, and 3) to derive protocol-specific DAP-to-ED conversion factors. Methods: A cone-beam CT system (Philips Allura Xper FD20/20) was used to measure the organ doses for seven neuro imaging protocols. Two data sets were obtained: seven protocols with uncollimated beam (FOV: entire head) and four with beam collimation (FOV: roughly from the base to the top of the skull). Measurements were performed on an adult male anthropomorphic phantom (CIRS, Norfolk, VA) with 20 MOSFET detectors (Best Medical Canada, Ottawa, Canada) placed in selected organs. The dose area product (DAP) values were recorded from console. The ED values were computed by multiplying measured organ doses to corresponding ICRP 103 tissue weighting factors. Results: For seven protocols with uncollimated setting, the EDs ranged from 0.16 mSv to 1.6 mSv, and the DAP-to-ED conversion factors range from 0.037 to 0.17 mSv/Gy/cm(2). For four protocols with beam collimation, the ED was reduced approximately by a factor of 2, and the DAP-to-ED conversion factors by approximately 30%. Conclusions: We have measured ED for standard adult neuro imaging protocols in a 3-D rotational angiography system. Our results provide a simple means of ED estimation using DAP values from console in the C-arm cone-beam CT system.

Article: Organ-based dose current modulation and thyroid shields: techniques of radiation dose reduction for neck CT.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to assess the difference in absorbed organ dose and image quality for MDCT neck protocols using automatic tube current modulation alone compared with organ-based dose modulation and in-plane thyroid bismuth shielding. An anthropomorphic female phantom with metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) detectors was scanned on a 64-MDCT scanner. The protocols included a reference neck CT protocol using automatic tube current modulation and three modified protocols: organ-based dose modulation, automatic tube current modulation with thyroid shield, and organ-based dose modulation with thyroid shield. Image noise was evaluated quantitatively with the SD of the attenuation value, and subjectively by two neuroradiologists. Organ-based dose modulation, automatic tube current modulation with thyroid shield, and organ-based dose modulation with thyroid shield protocols reduced the thyroid dose by 28%, 33%, and 45%, respectively, compared with the use of automatic tube current modulation alone (p ≤ 0.005). Organ-based dose modulation also reduced the radiation dose to the ocular lens (33-47%) compared with the use of automatic tube current modulation (p ≤ 0.04). There was no significant difference in measured noise and subjective image quality between the protocols. Both organ-based dose modulation and thyroid shields significantly reduce the thyroid organ dose without degradation of subjective image quality compared with automatic tube current modulation. Organ-based dose modulation has the additional benefit of dose reduction to the ocular lens.American Journal of Roentgenology 05/2012; 198(5):1132-8. DOI:10.2214/AJR.11.7445 · 2.74 Impact Factor

[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of peak kilovoltage on radiation dose and image quality in adult neck MDCT. An anthropomorphic phantom with metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor detectors was imaged with a 64-MDCT scanner. The reference CT protocol called for 120 kVp, and images obtained with that protocol were compared with CT images obtained with protocols entailing 80, 100, and 140 kVp. All imaging was performed with automatic tube current modulation. Organ dose and effective dose were determined for each protocol and compared with those obtained with the 120-kVp protocol. Image noise was evaluated objectively and subjectively for each protocol. The highest organ doses for all protocols were to the thyroid, ocular lens, skin, and mandible. The greatest reductions in organ dose were for the bone marrow of the cervical spine and mandible: 43% and 35% with the 100-kVp protocol and 63% and 53% with the 80-kVp protocol. Effective dose decreased as much as 9% with the 100-kVp protocol and 12% with the 80-kVp protocol. Use of the 140-kVp protocol was associated with an increase in organ dose as high as 64% for bone marrow in the cervical spine and a 19% increase in effective dose. Image noise increased with lower peak kilovoltage. The measured noise difference was greatest at 80 kVp, absolute increases were less than 2.5 HU. There was no difference in subjective image quality among protocols. Reducing the voltage from 120 to 80 kVp for neck CT can result in greater than 50% reduction in the absorbed organ dose to the bone marrow of the cervical spine and mandible without impairment in subjective image quality.American Journal of Roentgenology 03/2012; 198(3):621-7.

Article: Determination of Patient Radiation Dose During Ureteroscopic Treatment of Urolithiasis Using a Validated Model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We measured organ specific radiation dose rates and determined effective dose rates during simulated ureteroscopy using a validated model. To calculate the effective dose, patients were exposed to ureteroscopic management of stones at our institution. A validated anthropomorphic male phantom was placed on a fluoroscopy table and underwent simulated ureteroscopy. High sensitivity metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor dosimeters were placed at 20 organ sites in the phantom and used to measure organ specific radiation doses. These dose rates were multiplied by the appropriate tissue weighting factor and summed to calculate effective dose rates. Also, we retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients who underwent ureteroscopy at our institution. A total of 30 nonobese males with data on fluoroscopy time were included in analysis. The median effective dose was determined by multiplying median fluoroscopy time by the effective dose rate. The skin entrance was exposed to the highest absorbed dose rate, followed by the small intestine (mean ± SD 0.3286 ± 0.0054 and 0.1882 ± 0.0194 mGy per second, respectively). The mean effective dose rate was 0.024 ± 0.0019 mSv per second. Median fluoroscopy time was 46.95 seconds (range 12.9 to 298.8). The median effective dose was 1.13 mSv (range 0.31 to 7.17). The fluoroscopy used during ureteroscopy contributes to overall radiation exposure in patients with nephrolithiasis. Nonobese males are exposed to a median of 1.13 mSv during ureteroscopy, similar to that of abdominopelvic x-ray. More data are needed to determine clinical implications but urologists must be aware and decrease patient radiation during ureteroscopy.The Journal of urology 03/2012; 187(3):920-4.

Article: Radiation Dose Exposure for Lumbar Spine Epidural Steroid Injections: A Comparison of Conventional Fluoroscopy Data and CT Fluoroscopy Techniques[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is to compare the radiation dose of conventional fluoroscopy-guided lumbar epidural steroid injections (ESIs) and CT fluoroscopy (CTF)-guided lumbar ESI using both clinical data and anthropomorphic phantoms. We performed a retrospective review of dose parameters for 14 conventional fluoroscopy ESI procedures performed by one proceduralist and 42 CTF-guided ESIs performed by three proceduralists (14 each). By use of imaging techniques similar to those for our clinical cohorts, a commercially available anthropomorphic male phantom with metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor detectors was scanned to obtain absorbed organ doses for conventional fluoroscopy-guided and CTF-guided ESIs. Effective dose (ED) was calculated from measured organ doses. The mean conventional fluoroscopy time for ESI was 37 seconds, and the mean procedural CTF time was 4.7 seconds. Calculated ED for conventional fluoroscopy was 0.85 mSv compared with 0.45 mSv for CTF. The greatest contribution to the radiation dose from CTF-guided ESI came from the planning lumbar spine CT scan, which had an ED of 2.90 mSv when z-axis ranged from L2 to S1. This resulted in a total ED for CTF-guided ESI (lumbar spine CT scan plus CTF) of 3.35 mSv. The ED for the CTF-guided ESI was almost half that of conventional fluoroscopy because of the shorter fluoroscopy time. However, the overall radiation dose for CTF-guided ESIs can be up to four times higher when a full diagnostic lumbar CT scan is performed as part of the procedure. Radiation dose reduction for CTF-guided ESI is best achieved by minimizing the dose from the preliminary planning lumbar spine CT scan.American Journal of Roentgenology 10/2011; 197(4):778-82.

Article: Organ-specific radiation dose rates and effective dose rates during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Radiation exposure during medical procedures continues to be an increasing concern for physicians and patients. We determined organ-specific dose rates and calculated effective dose rates during right and left percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) using a validated phantom model. A validated anthropomorphic adult male phantom was placed prone on an operating room table. Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor dosimeters were placed at 20 organ locations in the model and were used to measure the organ dosages. A portable C-arm was used to provide continuous fluoroscopy for three 10 minute runs each to simulate a left and right PCNL. Organ dose rate (mGy/s) was determined by dividing organ dose by fluoroscopy time. The organ dose rates were multiplied by their tissue weighting factor and summed to determine effective dose rate (EDR) (mSv/s). Two-dimensional radiation distribution in the abdomen during a left-sided PCNL was visually determined using radiochromic film. The EDR for a left PCNL was 0.021 mSv/s ± 0.0008. The EDR for a right PCNL was 0.014 mSv/s ± 0.0004. The skin entrance was exposed to the greatest amount of radiation during left and right PCNL, 0.24 mGy/s and 0.26 mGy/s, respectively. Radiochromic film demonstrates visually the nonuniform dose distribution as the x-ray beam enters through the skin from the radiation source. The effective dose rate is higher for a left-sided PCNL compared with a right-sided PCNL. The distribution of radiation exposure during PCNL is not uniform. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term implications of these radiation doses during percutaneous stone removal.Journal of endourology / Endourological Society 09/2011; 26(5):439-43.

Article: Radiation dose from 3D rotational X-ray imaging: organ and effective dose with conversion factors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to measure organ doses and the effective dose (ED) using a three-dimensional rotational X-ray (3D-RX) system and to determine the ED conversion factor from the dose area product (DAP) for skull, spine and biliary protocols. A commercial 3D-RX imaging system was used to simulate the protocols with the adult female anthropomorphic phantom. Twenty MOSFET detectors were used to measure the absorbed doses at various organ locations. The ED was calculated for each protocol and the corresponding DAP was obtained. The skin dose was the highest for all the protocols. The second highest organ doses were those of the brain for the skull, the intestine for the spine and the kidney for the biliary protocol. The ED was 0.4-0.9, 4.2-8.4 and 3.2-4.6 mSv, and the ED conversion factor was 0.06-0.09, 0.18-0.31 and 0.13-0.23 mSv Gy(-1) cm(-2) for each protocol, respectively. This data may be used to estimate the patient ED for those protocols in the 3D-RX.Radiation Protection Dosimetry 09/2011; 150(1):50-4. DOI:10.1093/rpd/ncr369 · 0.91 Impact Factor
Article: Evaluation of the absorbed dose to the breast using radiochromic film in a dedicated CT mammotomography system employing a quasi-monochromatic x-ray beam.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A dual modality SPECT-CT prototype system dedicated to uncompressed breast imaging (mammotomography) has been developed. The computed tomography subsystem incorporates an ultrathick K-edge filtration technique producing a quasi-monochromatic x-ray cone beam that optimizes the dose efficiency of the system for lesion imaging in an uncompressed breast. Here, the absorbed dose in various geometric phantoms and in an uncompressed and pendant cadaveric breast using a normal tomographic cone beam imaging protocol is characterized using both thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) measurements and ionization chamber-calibrated radiochromic film. Initially, two geometric phantoms and an anthropomorphic breast phantom are filled in turn with oil and water to simulate the dose to objects that mimic various breast shapes having effective density bounds of 100% fatty and glandular breast compositions, respectively. Ultimately, an excised human cadaver breast is tomographically scanned using the normal tomographic imaging protocol, and the dose to the breast tissue is evaluated and compared to the earlier phantom-based measurements. Measured trends in dose distribution across all breast geometric and anthropomorphic phantom volumes indicate lower doses in the medial breast and more proximal to the chest wall, with consequently higher doses near the lateral peripheries and nipple regions. Measured doses to the oil-filled phantoms are consistently lower across all volume shapes due to the reduced mass energy-absorption coefficient of oil relative to water. The mean measured dose to the breast cadaver, composed of adipose and glandular tissues, was measured to be 4.2 mGy compared to a mean whole-breast dose of 3.8 and 4.5 mGy for the oil- and water-filled anthropomorphic breast phantoms, respectively. Assuming rotational symmetry due to the tomographic acquisition exposures, these results characterize the 3D dose distributions in an uncompressed human breast tissue volume for this dedicated breast imaging device and illustrate advantages of using the novel ultrathick K-edge filtered beam to minimize the dose to the breast during fully-3D imaging.Medical Physics 06/2011; 38(6):3232-45.

Hopping I find usually describes a hopping in the rear brought on by excessive rear grip followed by a quick release of grip and then the tire re-gripping. This causes the kart to hop as the inside rear lifts and sets down repeatly during a corner. Its fairly excessive and easily felt from the seat. Hopping can be a handling/tuning issue, or can be brought about by over driving the kart in a corner. Tuning-wise, its usually brought about by too narrow of a rear width, center of gravity to high, or rear axle too stiff.
Push-Kick is a severe handling issue where the kart experiences push going into a corner followed by an immediate loose condition when transitioning from brake to throttle. Its usually indicative of a balance issue (too much weight to the rear) or an overall lack of mechanical grip.January 8, 2015 at 5:32 pm #40113
Maybe too late since you have the Haas frame, but I were building a backyard dirt oval I'd look into 1/4 midgets.January 6, 2015 at 2:28 pm #39988
Devil's advocate, ok: By running SKUSA class and rules, they've just doubled the number of national-level shifter events in the US. Plus they've made use of what is already the biggest kart race in the US to expand and give karters more bang for the buck in Vegas. I'm sure most national teams appreciate being able to pack-up and go to Vegas and now have two world-class events plus an expo in one trip.
I understand the immediate concern. MAXSpeed is Rotax in the US and this is the first time they've expanded beyond Rotax Max classes at an event. But If I were running the SKUSA Pro Tour, I'd be pretty excited by this news for expanding my season and investment while at the same time still supporting SKUSA and their full season.
Also, it does seem funny that we have one thread complaining about manufacturers and promoters doing their own thing when it comes to rules packages (State of Karting in USA), followed by foul calls in this thread when someone adopts the same rules towards two separate organisations. I hope that irony isn't lost on others.
Lastly, (and this is kinda completely off-topic), I've never understood why any organisation hasn't carved up the US into regions and divisions. Then allow things to take root locally – regionally – and finally holding division championships funneling up into a single National championship race. Seems MAXSpeed has the ability to do this. But instead has what is essentially four or five random and disconnected racing series running over the course of a season. Note I'm not criticizing the current MAXSpeed commitment, just recognizing that no one has managed to bring the county together under one banner/championship in a most efficient way.January 3, 2015 at 4:01 pm #39836
Matt, keep in mind you should let the stop watch be the final indicator as to gearing. But a Rotax senior should easily rev to over 13,000 rpm. A well sorted senior should be capable of revving to close to 14,000. Although that might not be necessary depending on the track.January 3, 2015 at 3:44 pm #39835
CRG 2000-up rear calipers are the same as VEN05 front brake calipers. So they do share the same pad design. But be aware that the VEN05 rear calipers (and thus pads) are very different from the 2000-up.
I have two CRG karts with 2000-up rear braking systems and I prefer the Ferodo Kart Attack pads – for feel, longevity and price. FWIW.
Replacement is really simple. Remove the pad retaining clip and bolt, and pull the old pads out. Press the pistons all the way back inside the caliper, and insert the new pads. I find removing the master cylinder cover(s) helps the pistons to retract easier. As long as nothing leaks and the system is working well you'll be fine. I'd inspect the brake fluid at the time and flush the system if its dirty, or top it off if its low (after replacing the pads so that the pistons are reset).
Remember t0 replace the master cylinder covers before you pressurize the system with the pedal. If you leave the covers off, the fluid will shoot out of the top.December 29, 2014 at 8:29 am #39533
And the test data begins. This is encouraging. Good post Larry. Thanks.December 29, 2014 at 8:27 am #39532
Typically, CHT is only used on an air-cooled engine (such as a Yamaha KT-100 or Briggs LO206). If the engine is water-cooled, you want to monitor water temperature.
As for tuning, a temp probe in the exhaust header measuring exhaust gas temps is preferred.December 23, 2014 at 10:24 am #39316
I posted in that thread. But when the thread stopped, I thought I'd start one in the proper Rotax forum to gauge what other Rotax drivers were thinking as this moves forward.
Like you mentioned, I too am surprised by the lack of posts. A lot of the 2015 rules packages and schedules are starting to appear and looks as if many are side-stepping the new Evo engines to see how things turn out – which doesn't bode well for Rotax in 2015 IMO. My local track is getting behind the X-30 after being a big Rotax supporter (which isn't surprising considering they're spear-heading the IAME-East distribution). Its just bad timing all around as far as Rotax is concerned and I guess that's going to factor into where I eventually land.
I wish I'd see more support from the karters, but honestly the lack of it is a bit disconcerting. Seems the market is speaking – so to speak – and the ball is squarely in Rotax's court to make this work. Like I said, I'll be upgrading my motors. But beyond that, I'm beginning to wonder if at the upgrade price points they've release, its still not enough to maintain market share in a what turns out to be pivotal year for brands and alliances. Time will tell, but If I were Rotax (and MaxSpeed here in the States), I'd be watching, listening, and responding quickly over the next few months.
I'd still like to hear other's thoughts on this.December 18, 2014 at 11:37 am #39111
Maybe by 2016 there can be a class for unsealed engines with starters. Someplace where older Rotax and Leopards can race. We can call it TaG.December 3, 2014 at 9:49 am #38227
I view the EVO to past 125 MAX motors more like the X30 to the Leopard. Its meant as a replacement and they took the opportunity to make wholesale improvements.December 2, 2014 at 12:37 pm #38161
I've been expecting something like this ever since that Rotax survey was circulating last year. And honestly, I think everything looks pretty good. With IAME coming on strong and introducing the X30, it was clear Rotax was going to re-engineer the 125 MAX platform. Its proven to be a good platform for the past 15 years. But it was time to make some changes to address consistency and drive-ability issues people had with it. And it looks like that exactly what they've addressed.
It would be nice to see some incentives to help existing owners upgrade, but it appears the inventory's not there to do that just yet. But it wouldn't surprise me to see something in the future.
The piston is "no-brainer" – and will happen for all future rebuilds regardless.
The carb to me is a must have, as it has always been the source of the jetting issues.
The electronic power valve is a nice feature, but is not that critical as to need it anytime soon on an existing engine (so long as you're the type that maintains your RAVE valve on a regular basis). So that removes it, and the new ignition coil and box, from the must-have upgrades list.
Same for the exhaust.
All that's left is the crank and con-rod. That might bite a bit in the rebuild charge, but that's the biggest chunck of change IMO (and probably a significant portion of the power gains).
Still, the Rotax market is going to be a bit crazy for the next year. The bottom's going to fall out for alot of spare parts.November 24, 2014 at 5:36 am #37669

The only difference is the RAVE power valve. But to add that you need a Senior cylinder block. New, the items run about $900 in parts. Now you can find these used. RAVE assemblies run between $75 and $150. Cylinder blocks anywhere from $150 to $400. I've recently heard that Rotax has relaxed the cylinder block casting serial number rules, so you should be able to use any year.
Now add to this labor and resealing costs. Thats going to run you another hundred or two. At this point you might consider a top-end rebuild just to match a new cylinder to the new block I.D. That will probably only cost you a hundred more.November 11, 2014 at 5:37 am #36862
I set one of my karts up for a friend. We fit a Tillett T10 XXL seat and so we needed to expand the struts a good bit. I did fit an old axle over the right side strut and bend it outward a bit. Mind you, on this CRG frame it was a bit difficult to move it as to the way the strut is fitted to the frame. But we did end up getting just under an inch of rightward expansion. We scaled the kart and still had more weight left than right, so it was the right thing to do. With a driver of his size you're already over weight minimums, so no chance to add weight and re-balance without that weight penalizing you're laptime.
Best of luck.October 18, 2014 at 8:18 pm #35532
I'd be on the fence about the frame. The price point is good considering its a 2013 kart, but that frame has been raced hard to get that amount of flat-spotting in a single season. If it were me, that amount of flat spotting would bother me. But again, a 2013 Tony Kart is going carry some value regardless. In the end its up to you, But I think you can find an older kart in much better shape for the same – if not less money. $2500 to $3000 can buy a nice used kart if you're patient and look hard enough.
I'd also listen to guys about buying a kart serviced by your local track. And also about buying one already set-up for the engine class you intend to run.September 12, 2014 at 1:50 pm #33563
Absolutely! Thanks Troy.September 12, 2014 at 12:31 pm #33561

Here's some pictures to underline what I'm asking about.September 6, 2014 at 3:08 pm #33218
LO206 is a good option at GoPro Motorplex. They've just started a Wednesday night series around the rental karts that features an LO206 racing karts class. Spec Hoosier EL26 hard compound tires and a simple walk-up $40 registration fee. Its about as inexpensive as kart racing can be.August 31, 2014 at 6:26 am #32899
I use products called Rapid Prep and Rapid Tac.
Rapid Prep removes the oils and grime on the surface. Its works so will that I bought a large size and use it to clean the plastics regularly. Preparation of the surface is the most important part to get the graphics to adhere.
After the plastics are clean, spray the surface with Rapid Tac. This will allow you to slide the graphic over the surface to line it up correctly. After that use a small, soft squeegee and work from the center out to remove the application fluid and air bubbles.
Once down, you can use a hair dryer to set the adhesive. Also at this stage you can use heat to mold the graphic around any corners where it doesn't sit well (most graphics will have a split in the vinyl to accomplish this over complex shapes). Don't use too much heat as you'll stretch the graphic and then it will never lay flat over the surface. Always work towards the split.August 23, 2014 at 6:48 am #32484
Some use an old axle (or any long steel pipe) that you can get some leverage going with. Be sure to wrap it with some thick fabric like a towel to prevent scratching the frame. A quick search on YouTube will give you result showing how its done.August 19, 2014 at 4:41 pm #32311
Thanks Kirk. Nice to hear the benefit. Sliding the rear through the corners is exactly what I'm trying to resolve.July 10, 2014 at 1:30 pm #30078
I second David's comment re: Briggs LO206 class. Its affordable and the formula will allow her to focus more on racing rather than tuning. Rotax would be fast enough that tuning the kart becomes a bigger part of the equation and that might make it less fun if she can't be competitive.
As for chassis: at GoPro Motorplex I'd go with Arrow as they can provide a lot of support for the chassis there. And the majority of garage owners there have Arrow karts so you can get more advice for set-ups and what not.

Swiss Sue: Inka is adorable!
Bekkie: he is quite the poser. I feel very sorry for anyone who follows me on Instragram ( http://instagram.com/ladyclarington/ by the way) as I will have to be very restrained not to drown everyone in pictures! I know only too well how quickly you get fed up of the onslaught of baby photos on Facebook. He's still fast asleep at the moment. Unfortunately my attempts at being productive and writing up a press pack for Scout parties is.... oooh that flower looks nice.
Morning all.
Well Reggie is settling in nicely! Collected him lunch time yesterday and went for a long walk (he pulls a little on the lead but nothing we can't work on) before introducing him to the house. He's got an upset belly (they think its kennel stress: we're feeding him James Welbeloved for a few days and will move across to chicken and rice and a vets trip if things don't settle soon. He has plenty of energy which is a good sign!)
He had a good nights sleep, didn't whimper and put himself in his crate when he decided enough was enough (I don't blame him - my partner has an awful sense of "good tv").
He's now fast asleep after our long walk this morning while I try and get some paper work done.
As promised... pictures!
I'm with Edd: its quite likely to be rats. How small is small? We could be looking at rats! Moles, rabbits, mice...
Morning all! Just having my last lay in. I'm avoiding opening the curtains but it certainly felt cold last night!
I'd personally be more concerned about any water remaining in my pressure washer freezing and damaging it. (But I'm selfish like that!)
Will do Granma! (You do promise to tell me when to stop don't you? I can get carried away!)
-2'C outside right now, so the museum wont be much warmer! Cold has hit the "niagra falls" stage: Perfect for 95 students visiting today. Still I'm booking some time off this week to get off to a proper bonding with Reggie so hopefully we'll be in the warm lots. (Hopefully getting him tomorrow).
Meningitis, yup had that t shirt - measles and mumps I'm hoping I'm vaccinated against! I thought I was but I remember being ill and not being allowed one jab at secondary school... I assume I had it later but now I'm not sure.
Guess I'll be calling the doctors in the morning! I'm going to research vitamin supplements: with my long term digestion issues I'm aware I'm probably not absorbing everything I should be which might not help my immune system keep at its best. The pamphlets they give you at the hospital do mention it as a possibility but of course don't suggest what to do.
Pottie your german looked adorable! I'm just playing the "hide anything we care about game". As we have no idea how well house trained Reggie is (if at all) we're considering everything fair chew toy / poop spot. Though at the moment his new crate is looking the most comfortable spot of the house!
Thanks Bekkie! I'm glad BM is nice and safe: if surrounded by boxes!
That's Reggie!

The Official 'BEFORE' Shots
Here we go....hopefully, this should take you to an album that starts with my official "BEFORE" photos. My kitchen is basically a galley kitchen, connected to a breakfast room (one-time porch) with knotty pine paneling and a couple of built-ins. Decent size space, but not what I've really wanted these past 15 years!! Took lots of shots from tons of angles and didn't even do any straightening out before I photographed the room. This is really what my kitchen looks like on any given day if I'm just hanging. Let's see if I can get this to work:
Here is a link that might be useful: Before Photos 2/25/11 SusieQusie
Ah yes carrie eileen...I would never kid about something as serious as my "knotty pine" breakfast room! This house was built in '23 (or maybe '24 - I can't remember right now,) but my husband and I bought if from the widow of the original owner - whose brother had actually built it. Our breakfast room was originally a porch that they converted. I guess they really, really liked their knotty pine, huh?

Jerzy Radziwilowicz plays a director shooting a film whose scenes are all reproductions of paintings by Goya, Valasquez, and other European masters. Production comes to a halt when his producers refuse to increase his budget until he explains the film's story to them. Meanwhile, the director is ending an affair with Hanna (Hanna Schygulla), the wife of Michel (Michel Piccoli), who is the manager of the hotel where the film's cast and crew are staying. In a sub-plot, Isabelle Huppert plays a factory worker who attempts to unionize her fellow employees. The story of Passion is elliptical and incomplete. It is a means of presenting a collection of scenes and images on related themes. This kind of story will become the hallmark of Godard's later career. The links among the episodes become even looser in such films as Germany: Year Nine Zero and For Ever Mozart. Passion marks the reunion of Godard with director of photography Raoul Coutard, who shot many of Godard's films of the 1960s. The cinematography is key to understanding this difficult film in which how an image is shot is as important as what it depicts. Godard and Coutard favor shots that begin as open, disorganized framings and become painterly compositions as the people and things in them move. ~ Louis Schwartz, Rovi

Dave Matthews Band release an excellent "Away From The World"
The album cover to Away From The World. www.rollingstone.com
The eight studio album by American jam-group Dave Matthews Band begins with a serpentine guitar riff, backed with soft shaking maracas and a pounding beat that soon give way to the cool, smooth vocals fans have come to love. "Sometimes the road is crystal/sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind," lead singer/guitarist Dave Matthews confesses on the opening track, "Broken Things." As the song continues, its sound devolves into a slower, jazzier rock track overlapped with Matthews' wailing vocals, furthering the band's "signature sound."
"Away From the World" is the much anticipated follow-up to 2009's Grammy nominated hit, "Big Whiskey and the Gru Grux King." This new album is already getting a lot of coverage, with the band wrapping up an extensive summer tour that allowed them to debut a few new songs, and make their way around the late night show circuit. In April, the song "Mercy" was played for the first time on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon;" and in May, the band released "Gaucho" online to an incredibly eager fan base. Since their tour started in late spring, these songs were put on the nightly rotation, and thanks to fans who recorded parts of the concert, these new tracks made their way to those not fortunate enough to see DMB live. This album has several potential hits, which will undoubtedly reignite the fire in old fans, and may even rope in some new listeners as well.
"Don't give up, I know you can see...all the world and the mess that we're making," Matthews croons on the popular slow-jam, "Mercy." This tune pulls you in from the get-go, with a smooth saxophone line complimenting the crisp vocals provided by Matthews and crew. It is by no means loud or in your face, but it grabs your attention, forcing you to hit the replay button over and over. In recent interviews, Matthews has admitted that maturity has prompted him to create more substantial lyrics that break away from their older themes. When the band first gained popularity in the late nineties, lyrics reflected heartache, journeys through love and friendship, while their latest messages reflect sociopolitical ideologies, current headlines and an encouragement to make this world a better place.
Both fans and critics are buzzing about "World", raving that the sound is reminiscent of their 1996 hit album, "Crash," which spawned one of their most well known hits, "Crash Into Me." The easily distinguishable guitar riffs, memorable choruses, and heartfelt howling of Matthews's vocals is what reminds fans of the sound they have come to know so dearly, and is what keeps them craving for more.
On the album's second track, "Belly Belly Nice," we're introduced to a funkier jazz sound, with a rhythmic bass line pumping loud behind trumpets, saxophone and a staccato drumbeat. "Sweet" begins with a low-pitched horn, similar to that of a tug boat lost at sea, then turns to a ukulele backed Matthews' for a chance to mellow out mid-record. "The Riff," my personal favorite, is a bare-bones track, beginning with barely audible strings and a guitar pattern hidden behind chilling vocals; the instruments later gain power, but they are still second-string to one of Matthews' most powerful vocals to date.
If you're a long-time fan, you'll undoubtedly get the sound you love so dearly, if you're a casual listener, you may be able to find another song or two that will make its way onto your "favorites" playlist and even if you're a first-timer, I can almost guarantee that you will find something you'll love. "Away From the World" allows the Dave Matthews train to keep on rolling, gaining speed and rambling on without an end in sight.

This shows (again) the lunacy the abortion rights folks have brought to the discussion. A seven month old fetus is capable of life outside the womb. My granddaughter was born that far premature and is now nine years old. This evil woman needs to be charged with murder and the law concerning fetuses needs to be changed!

Freedom of speech applies to the government, not to a privately owned and operated airline. This knucklehead got exactly what he deserved.

Think BO or Holder will weigh in and condemn the suspect? Think (based upon the onlookers) that the suspect may be black? Usually when the suspect's race is not identified, the suspect is black (more PC reporting by the left-wing press). The exception is when a white cop shoots (regardless of the circumstances) a black gang banger. Cops have only seconds to respond but BO and Holder have all the time in the world to condemn cops for imagined faults. This Administration disgusts me!!!

What a great story! The only thing that could make it better would be for the thief who took the motorized chair to accidently electrocute himself while charging the stolen chair!

On Kimmel BO stated that "though the city's law enforcement practices were "oppressive and objectionable", there was "no excuse" for violence." Da, snipping the police, of course it is an evil act. Secondly, the DOJ investigation never proved anything! Proof is when a jury decides the evidence in credible and persuasive. Having the DOJ state some beliefs when led by a clearly biased AG does not prove a thing. This Administration is biased toward police and it is a shame!

Sounds like a bogus stop. Police have a card that they put on the inside of a tinted window and if they can read the card, the tinting is legal. This cop made the stop because he was profiling the car and when it did not go his way, he continued to dig. The couple should have told the cop that unless he had some legal reason for keeping them out in the cold, they were leaving. This cop should be counseled!

Trying to reason with a racist gangbanger is like trying to reason with a drunk, it is not going anywhere!

What absolute low lifes! I really hope the time comes when they need a cop to bail them out of a jam none are available, then maybe they can look to Sharpton and BO for help…Not!

Wait a minute! This is a hate crime. Four blacks are pounding on a white girl, most likely because she is white. Further, this is a felony as four of them beating on her is a conspiracy.

These shootings of innocent police officers can be laid right at the feet of Holder and Obama. They both continue to demonize police officers in a manner, if it were done about people of color, would not be tolerated. They are stereotyping police officers based upon nothing but innuendo and it needs to stop.

Every person reading about this, think back to the crap that goes on in your workplace both verbally and in writing. This was nothing more (and I am a 100% disabled vet) that the Christmas Elf craze run amuk. I do not believe it was intended to slam vets but the MSM sure made it seem that way!

Good for the Senators! Obama acts like he is a king. He is a citizen (maybe) President and is bound by our Constitution. Now, when he violates the Constitution, the MSM says, "No big deal". but when the Senators attempt to provide a lesson in what our Constitution says about treaties, then the MSM has a tissy fit. Get over it! What the senators stated is correct. If BO want to be king, he needs to move to a different country (please).

This moron needs to read history and find out who were the friends of the civil rights movement and who were the enemy. The (Southern) Democrats were the folks who created the laws of segregation. The Republicans were the Party that pushed Civil Rights legislation through. The Democrats have done a good job of covering up their Parties past sins but History is History!

When will the three racists (Obama, Holder and Sharpton) wade in on this incident without knowing the facts? Right now we have a perp who was obviously not right mentally (or under the influence of something) jumping into traffic. The police were called to the scene by someone. The perp attacked the police officer. Right now that is all that is known.

This needs to be taken to court. All any pervert has to say is "I see myself as a women" to be able to watch all the naked women he wants (including watching them shower). This is how far the left has taken us. My wife would be out of there like a rocket, as should all the rest of the women! Hit this gym's bottom line…boycott!!!

Releasing the emails after they have been culled by Clinton staff is like searching a robber for the loot after he is allowed to go home unescorted. The government should seize the Clinton servers and subpoena the company for any Clinton email in their possession. One thing is apparent, this was a intentional exposure of US classified information by Hillary (the smartest women in the world).
