6.5" Polypropelyne Cone Woofer
Low cost general replacement woofer is ideal in a two way cabinets or as a compact subwoofer. It is perfect for a wide variety of home or autosound applications and is ideal for either ported or sealed enclosures.
Also available in 8ohm Version
OK for the money, but not enough for good audio. Had to stretch spider to lower resonance to rated 40Hz. Distortion from limited linear excursion noticeable on loud deep bass. Seems to have more upper bass (what you might expect from this size) and not as smooth or deep as (but slightly louder than) the 98 Lincoln OEM sub it was to replace. 2 ohm DC resistance.
Be advised: the specs on the selling page may or may not be correct, but the data sheet is way off. And MCM knows this. Look at the impedance plot--to wit: no 4 ohm woofer ever has a lowest dynamic impedance of 8 Ohms.

Over the weekend, Congressional Republicans echo Hal Rogers' take on no tax pledge
The Sunday political talk shows were littered with Republican lawmakers saying they didn't believe the no-tax pledge circulated by Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform group should be a lifetime commitment.
At the end of last week, Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss told WMAZ-13 in Macon that he signed the pledge 20 years ago and believed the pledge was for that particular Congress. But he said "times change."
His fellow Republicans, South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham and New York Congressman Peter King, made similar comments on Sunday on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos" and NBC's "Meet the Press," respectively.
If this sounds familiar, Kentucky U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers of Somerset — the House appropriations committee chairman — made similar comments a year ago on Pure Politics.
"I think those pledges are only good for the Congress you're elected to," he said in that interview a year ago. "I think after you're re-elected or elected the first time, you're free of any of those types of obligations."
Here's the full interview from Nov. 22, 2011, but that discussion about the tax pledge starts at the 7:50 mark:
Below the Fold
Thayer worried over possible move to presidential primary caucus system; wants Grimes to challenge Andy Beshear for Attny. General in 2015
Kentucky prepared in case of Ebola, but disease unlikely here, health official says
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul says Obama wrong on use of executive order; Congress will pass immigration bill
Kentucky businesses avoid costly tax increase with unemployment trust holding steady

Borderliner PhilosophyI want to write about my life and illnesses, but I have a terrible memory. I can also not remember the order things happened in or the dates they happened on. I cannot remember what things looked like either. These things would make it harder to write a novel.

Will Razorbacks AD Long reach out to the Texas Tech head coach? Dave Miller
Tommy Tuberville has been in the news this week for all of the wrong reasons after a sideline altercation with graduate assistant Kevin Oliver, whose headset was yanked off by Tuberville during Texas Tech's win over Kansas on Saturday. The Big 12 on Monday afternoon issued a public reprimand of the Red Raiders head coach, and league commissioner Bob Bowlsby called the act "unsportstmanlike."
US PRESSWIRETommy Tuberville could get a long, hard look from Arkansas for its head-coaching vacancy.
While addressing the incident during his weekly news conference Monday, Tuberville acknowledged that he overreacted and said that he apologized to Oliver for his outburst.
Despite the incident, Tuberville's name will continue to be linked to the impending opening at Arkansas along with TCU's Gary Patterson, Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy, Nebraska's Bo Pelini and former Tennessee head coach Phillip Fulmer. While all of those names would be intriguing candidates, Tuberville could be one of the safer and most realistic choices for Razorbacks athletic director Jeff Long.
The Hogs are looking for stability after dealing with the Bobby Petrino saga as well as a poor performance this fall under stopgap head coach John L. Smith, and Tuberville proved during his tenures at Ole Miss and Auburn that he can run a tight ship. Once on a bit of a hot seat in Lubbock because of the great success of his predecessor, Mike Leach, Tuberville's strong start in 2012 made him a hot commodity again.
Tuberville would fit in nicely in Fayetteville after his SEC West experiences with the Rebels and Tigers from 1995 to 2008, and he has a staff under him right now that could be successful in the nation's toughest conference. Offensive coordinator Neal Brown will unquestionably be up for lower-tier head openings this offseason, but he could also take his time and build on his rising status to possibly get a bigger job down the road. Meanwhile, Tuberville finally found a defensive coordinator in Art Kaufman that has been able to work wonders with a once-porous Tech defense.
For all of those reasons, expect Long to take a serious look at Tuberville for the impending opening in Fayetteville. That is, of course, unless Long was turned off by Tuberville's actions on the sideline this past weekend.

In this chapter an alternative notion of equivalence for PEPA components is developed. This equivalence, strong equivalence, is defined in Section 8.2. It is developed in the style of Larsen and Skou's probabilistic bisimulation which was discussed in Section 5.2.3. Here transition rates, already embedded in the PEPA labelled transition system as activity rates, are used instead of probabilities. As with strong bisimulation the relation aims to capture a notion of equivalent behaviour between components. However, observation now occurs without detailed knowledge of the individual transitions involved. Strong equivalence, unlike strong bisimulation, is unable to distinguish between a single (α, 2r) activity and two simultaneously enabled instances of the (α, r) activity.
Some properties of the relation from a process algebra perspective are examined in Section 8.3. Like strong bisimulation, strong equivalence is found to be a congruence relation for PEPA. In Section 8.4 we discuss some of the implications of strong equivalence for the system components being represented, and in Section 8.5 the implications for the underlying Markov processes are reviewed. Finally, in Section 8.6, we outline the use of strong equivalence as a state-to-state equivalence forming the basis of exact aggregation. An alternative approach to the generation of the Markov process underlying a PEPA model is also discussed. These ideas are illustrated in Section 8.6.3 with an example taken from Section 4.4.4.

Doctor fights to put the care back in medicare: Goar
Toronto doctor Brian Hodges exposes discrimination against mentally ill patients and says compassion must be put back into health care.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Two months have passed since Barbara Hall released her eye-opening report on discrimination against people with mental health disabilities. The public response has been unlike anything the Ontario human rights commissioner has seen in her six years at the helm.
One of the report's most disturbing revelations was that discrimination against patients with psychiatric disorders is deeply embedded in Ontario's health-care system. Human rights investigators found that doctors, nurses and paramedics ridicule individuals with mental disabilities, withhold treatment, use demeaning terms to their faces, and turn them away on the assumption that they're junkies seeking drugs.
Most medical practitioners denied or dismissed these findings. One did not.
Here, with his permission, is what Dr. Brian Hodges, Vice-President Education at the University Health Network said: "These comments are both familiar and disheartening to me. Some of the examples of thoughtless labelling and hostile or dismissive attitudes are too common in health-care settings."
What is especially discouraging, Hodges said, is that medical graduates who are taught to treat all patients with respect fall into bad habits when exposed to poor role models. "Educators in Canada are increasingly concerned about the presence of a 'hidden curriculum' which serves to undo the overt teaching about communication skills, empathy and professional values that characterize our health-care education programs. Dismissive or discriminatory attitudes are unfortunate when they are encountered anywhere in society and they're doubly disturbing when they come from professionals whose job is to care."
Fortunately, his letter didn't end there. He wrote about an initiative he and a coalition of like-minded doctors, nurses, therapists and medical educators have launched to put the "care" back in health care.
The group, known as Associated Medical Services (AMS), aims to make compassion as important as technical expertise in the delivery of health care. It believes science has outpaced social responsibility. To get the two tracks of health care back in balance, AMS members are urging their peers to treat their patients as human beings, not clinical problems. That means explaining procedures in everyday language and taking into account factors such as their mental health, family circumstances, housing and access to expensive medications.
Last year AMS launched a new campaign called the Phoenix Project: A Call to Caring. Its intention is to implant and sustain these practices in large health-science centres and then branch out to community hospitals, local clinics and diagnostic and rehabilitation facilities.
Although the project, led by Hodges, was conceived before Hall announced her findings, there is an obvious connection. If medical practitioners treated their patients with respect, the incidents documented by human rights investigators wouldn't have happened.
One woman was told by her surgeon: "Had I known you were crazy, I wouldn't have operated on you."
A man who arrived at a hospital emergency department complaining of severe abdominal pain would not have been left waiting for 10 hours before someone realized he needed urgent surgery. He was a recovering addict on methadone treatment.
A paramedic told the commission his colleagues joked at lunch about picking up "crazies" and "junkies."
It will take more than a dedicated minority of health-care workers to turn the tide. But it's good to know they're implanting their ideas in Ontario's faculties of medicine and teaching hospitals, lobbying policy-makers and spreading the word at conferences and professional gatherings.
It will take more than a tenacious human rights commissioner to root out discrimination. But it's good to know Hall is urging the Ontario government to update its laws and standards, willing to intervene in court challenges against doctors accused of denying services to people with mental disabilities, and prepared to initiate cases at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.
What is missing is the most powerful lever of all: public pressure. When voters take a stand against prejudicial medicare, political leaders will get off the sidelines.
Carol Goar's column appears Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Canonical: Ubuntu To Soon Ship On 5% Of PCs
Published on 07 May 2012 05:41 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
37 Comments
Chris Kenyon, the VP of sales and business development for Canonical, just spoke this afternoon at the
Ubuntu 12.10 Developer Summit
about what Canonical does with OEMs and ODMs. He also tossed out some rather interesting numbers about the adoption of Ubuntu Linux.
Here's some of the facts that Kenyon tossed out in his after-lunch keynote:
- Eight to ten million units shipped last year world-wide.
- Canonical will be opening their first Beijing office this year (their Taipei office right now handles most of their Asian operations since 2008).
- Last year Ubuntu shipped on 7.5 billion dollars (presumably USD) worth of hardware.
- Next year they expect to more than double these numbers to 18 million units world-wide, or what Chris says would be 5% of PCs shipping world-wide would be with Ubuntu Linux.
Side Note #1
: last May at
UDS Budapest
is where Mark Shuttleworth tossed around wanting 200 million Ubuntu users in four years (2015), even with doubling in PC sales, they'll still need to push harder and get out Ubuntu on more CE devices like TVs and mobile phones if they still wish to hit this goal... Mark didn't comment on this 200 million user goal at UDS-Q yet -- there's
notes from his earlier keynote
-- or even at
UDS-P back in Orlando
from late last year.
Side Note #2
: Kenyon didn't comment on what percentage of these Ubuntu-loaded PC sales still have users where they run Ubuntu, or namely the actual Ubuntu user count globally. The OEM/ODM count also obviously doesn't count those that install Ubuntu manually or obtain Ubuntu installations via other means. On the down side, when I talk with OEMs and others about Linux pre-loads, I commonly here a "significant percentage" of these Linux pre-loaded systems usually get wiped by their customers and replaced with pirated copies of Windows -- especially in the Asian markets, where customers are just going after the Linux PCs due to the lower sales cost.
- At more than 200 Dell stores in China, there is Ubuntu branding present and Dell China employees knowledgeable about Ubuntu Linux.
- Ubuntu continues to do very well in the server space.
- As far as when Ubuntu will be back at Best Buy here in the United States, or "When at Best Buy down the road?" Kenyon said, "We're working on it and I'm confident we're going to get there."
