Emancipation Proclamation

The emancipation of the slaves was the single most dramatic and far-reaching action taken by the Lincoln administration.
The action evolved gradually; Lincoln was always mindful that preserving the Union was his highest priority. If he could win the war by freeing all the slaves, some of them, or none at all, he would take whatever route would lead to victory.
Throughout his public life, Abraham Lincoln had consistently opposed the institution of slavery and advocated policies to restrict it from spreading into the western territories. His views fit comfortably with the new Republican Party and its antislavery roots; thus, his election as president in 1860 set off the first wave of secession.
Responding to the crisis in his first inaugural address, Lincoln assured Southerners that it was not the intention of the Federal government to interfere with slavery where it existed. He pointed out that, as president, he had no power to do so, asserting that under the Constitution, the national government could "never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States."
When war came—only weeks after Lincoln had assumed office—his stated objective was restoration of the Union, and he refused to take any action against slavery, not only because he had no constitutional authority to do so, but because he feared that doing so would push Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland into the Confederacy.
Thus, in August 1861, when General John C. Fremont attempted to emancipate all slaves owned by Confederate sympathizers in Missouri, Lincoln overruled him.
He did the same in May 1862, when General David Hunter declared that all slaves under his area of control in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina were free. But the president urged border-state governors to accept some form of gradual, compensated emancipation for their slaves (in 1862, Congress abolished slavery in the District of Columbia, and Maryland and Missouri would emancipate slaves before the war ended), and he explored the feasibility of colonization for freedmen, a plan almost universally resisted by free blacks.
By 1862, it was apparent that predictions of a brief war had been wrong. The Confederacy's resistance remained firm. What kept thousands of Southern soldiers on the battlefield were slaves working on plantations to feed the army, and, in some places, building defensive fortifications.
Black and white abolitionists had been pointing this out from the start of the war and were even quoting Southern newspapers on the subject. For example, the November 6, 1861, edition of the Montgomery Advertiser noted: "The institution of slavery in the South alone enables her to place in the field a force much larger in proportion to her white population than the North. . .. The institution is a tower of strength to the South, particularly at the present crisis, and our enemies will be likely to find that the 'moral cancer' about which their orators are so fond of prating, is really one of the most effective weapons employed against the Union by the South."
Thus, freeing slaves in the Confederacy became part of Lincoln's war strategy. Emancipation was also a valid war aim because of its diplomatic ramifications. By transforming the war into a crusade against slavery, Lincoln could all but ensure that British and French diplomatic recognition of the Confederacy would not be forthcoming.
Despite the advantages that emancipation would bring to the Union, it remained a delicate issue in the North. There were fears that hordes of freedmen would overrun Northern states, take jobs from white workers, and strain local resources. Even Northerners who opposed slavery were not prepared to welcome an influx of black neighbors.
The prevailing attitude among whites—even those who were antislavery—was one of racial superiority, and many soldiers in the Union army who were eager to fight for the Union were not eager to fight for emancipation. There were also concerns over the president's constitutional authority to emancipate the slaves.
But as the war progressed—and as Congress passed confiscation acts aimed at Southern property, including slaves—Lincoln devised an approach based on his constitutional authority to exercise presidential war powers.
He carefully crafted the Emancipation Proclamation as a narrowly focused, legalistic document designed to withstand legal challenge. The president later explained: "I felt the measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution, through the preservation of the nation."
In June 1862, Lincoln had completed drafting his Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. He presented it to the cabinet the following month but, on the advice of Secretary of State Seward, he awaited a positive military development before releasing it.
Issuing the document following battlefield defeats in the summer of 1862 would have cast the proclamation as a desperate and meaningless gesture. His opportunity came in the wake of the Union victory at Antietam on September 17, 1862. The battle ended the Confederate invasion of Maryland and forced Lee's army to retreat to Virginia.
On September 22, Lincoln issued the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. In this document, the president gave the rebellious states 100 days to return to the Union and to adopt immediate or gradual abolition with the assurance that plans for voluntary colonization of former slaves would continue. Otherwise, Lincoln declared that slaves in any state still in rebellion would then be "forever free."
No Confederate state returned to the Union. On New Year's Day, 1863, Lincoln signed the final Emancipation Proclamation, which differed considerably from the first document.
The final proclamation, "a fit and necessary war measure," declared freedom for slaves only in rebellious sections of the country, but not in the border states or in Tennessee and parts of Virginia and Louisiana, most of which were under Union control. The proclamation also included a provision for enlisting former slaves in the Union army.
Because Lincoln's authority extended only to the seizure of property of those in rebellion (no proclamation could invalidate the legal ownership of slaves by masters in the loyal slave states), tens of thousands of slaves would have to wait for the Thirteenth Amendment, passed in December 1865, to gain their freedom.
"It will be seen that the President only makes provision for the emancipation of a part of an injured race, and that the Border States and certain parts of the rebel States are excepted from the relief offered to others by this most important document," stated the Christian Recorder, an African Methodist Episcopal church newspaper in Philadelphia.
Nonetheless, the newspaper continued, "[W]e believe those who are not immediately liberated will be ultimately benefitted by this act, and that Congress will do something for those poor souls who will still remain in degradation. But we thank God and President Lincoln for what has been done, 'and take courage.'"
Although the proclamation had no instantaneous effect on slaves outside the reach of the Union armies, it did immediately transform the war. The war to preserve the Union also became a moral crusade to end slavery, and that purpose made it highly unlikely that Britain could ever be compelled to enter the war on the side of the South.
The proclamation also resolved the legal status of slaves who had claimed their freedom behind the security of Union lines, and it undermined the Confederacy as slaves fled to the North in greater numbers and joined the Union army. Tens of thousands more worked for the army as civilian laborers—nurses, cooks, and teamsters.
Beyond the military consequences of the Emancipation Proclamation, surely none appreciated the meaning of the document so much as African Americans.
On January 1, 1863, free blacks held celebratory meetings in cities throughout the North.
Henry Turner, pastor of the Israel Bethel (A.M.E.) Church i n Washington, D.C., captured the excitement of the day:
"Seeing such a multitude of people in and around my church, I hurriedly went up to the office of the first paper in which the proclamation of freedom could be printed . . . and squeezed myself through the dense crowd that was waiting for the paper. The first sheet run off with the proclamation in it was grabbed for by three of us, but some active young man got possession of it and fled. T h e next sheet was grabbed for by several, and was torn into tatters. The third sheet from the press was grabbed for by several, but I succeeded in procuring so much of it as contained the proclamation, and off I went for life and death. Down Pennsylvania [Avenue] I ran as for my life, and when the people saw me coming with the paper in my hand they raised a shouting cheer that was almost deafening."

As Volvo continues to innovate in the luxury segment of the car market, it has identified one of the greatest commodities in the world today: clean air.
Volvo's new XC90 boasts the cleanest engine performance in its class, with CO2 emissions of just 60 g/km. But Volvo is just as concerned about the air inside the car as the air outside. CleanZone air filtration manages the interior air quality of the cabin, promoting the health and wellbeing of the cars' occupants. Drivers can breathe easier knowing most microscopic, hazardous "fine dust" particles will now be prevented from entering the vehicle.
As part of a series of films promoting the key product innovations of the upcoming XC90, the Swedish car manufacturer is launching its newest air filtration technology in a less than conventional way. Rather than labouring the technicalities of the remarkable clean air filtration unit in the upcoming XC90, it has taken a far more sensory approach.
Volvo is selling the virtues of Swedish Air itself.
In probably the most tranquil, quiet car commercial you will ever see, we are transported to the vast, unspoilt, open Swedish landscape that inspired Volvo's technology.
"It's as close to inhaling a lungful of Swedish Air as you can get without a plane ticket," says Grey London Creative Director, Hollie Newton.
The combination of delicately-crafted sound design with beautifully composed landscape photography takes the viewer on a visceral and cleansing journey through the windswept Scandinavian countryside. It also goes against traditional automotive advertising conventions by refusing to feature the car itself.
Playing out in cinemas, at tactical moments and online, Swedish Air will also run at car shows and launch experiences alongside a suite of other materials.
"Up to 45 per cent of the industrialised world's population is now suffering from some form of allergy or hypersensitivity. Over ten per cent has asthma. At Volvo, our commitment to safety goes well beyond safety belts and air bags. It's about making sure that every minute you and your family spend in a Volvo is as safe as it can possibly be. That includes breathing," says Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research and Development, Volvo Cars.
To draw attention at car shows and dealerships, Volvo has even created a luxury 'Swedish Air Inhaler'. A collaboration with New York-based glass studio OFF CENTRE, known for their experimental and unconventional approach to traditional glassblowing, the challenge was to develop a packaging concept for how 'Swedish Air' might be bottled as a consumable; a glass depiction of a deep breath of air.

Mucha Nouveau Summer Calendar Poster
Alphonse Maria Mucha is most often remembered for the dominant role he played in shaping the aesthetics of French Art Nouveau at the turn of the century. As a struggling and relatively unknown artist of Czech origin, Mucha achieved immediate fame when, in December 1894, he accepted a commission to create a graphic to advertise the greatest actress of the time, Sarah Bernhardt. That first widely circulated artwork and those that followed were so revolutionary in concept and style that Mucha's art became widely known throughout Europe as 'le style Mucha'.

President Obama, the sports fan
While President Barack Obama was in Southern California last week, he revealed one of his post-White House hopes: to host the Top 10 list on ESPN's Sportscenter. Obama, who made a major economic speech at DreamWorks, met with many entertainment industry moguls, including Disney's Robert Iger and Alan Horn, Fox's Jim Gianopulos, Sony's Amy Pascal, and CBS' Leslie Moonves.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Obama, a noted sports fan, made his pitch to Iger at the private briefing amid much laughter. Of note: Iger didn't commit to giving Obama the gig. Perhaps he wants to get a look at the president's references.

Suspense to the End, Obama, Romney Yield to Voters
WASHINGTON - Two fierce competitors who've given their all, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney now yield center stage to voters Tuesday for an Election Day choice that will frame the contours of government and the nation for years to come.
After a grinding presidential campaign that packed suspense to the finish, Americans head into polling places in sleepy hollows, bustling cities and superstorm-ravaged beach towns deeply divided. All sides are awaiting, in particular, a verdict from the nine battleground states whose votes will determine which man can piece together the 270 electoral votes needed for victory.
Obama has more options for getting there. So Romney decided to make a late dash to Cleveland and Pittsburgh on Tuesday while running mate Paul Ryan threw in stops in Cleveland and Richmond, Va. Obama opted to make a dozen radio and satellite TV interviews from his hometown of Chicago to keep his closing arguments fresh in voters' minds.
"I feel optimistic but only cautiously optimistic," Obama said on "The Steve Harvey Morning Show." ''Because until people actually show up at the polls and cast their ballot, the rest of this stuff is all just speculation."
Romney, asked on WTAM radio in Cleveland whether he agrees that voters always get it right in the end. "I won't guarantee that they'll get it right, but I think they will," Romney replied.
The GOP nominee then drove to a community center five minutes from his Belmont, Mass., home and cast his ballot with wife Ann at his side. The couple went from the polling site to the airport for his under-the-wire campaign swing.
Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, were among the first voters Tuesday in at a polling place in Greenville, Del., Biden's home state. Smiling broadly, Biden waited in line with the other voters and greeted them with a handshake. Outside he sent a message to people across the country who may encounter crowded polling places. "I encourage you to stand in line as long as you have to," he told television cameras.
Both sides cast the Election Day choice as one with far-reaching repercussions for a nation still recovering from the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression and at odds over how big a role government should play in solving the country's problems.
"It's a choice between two different visions for America," Obama declared in Madison, Wis., on Monday asking voters to let him complete work on the economic turnaround that began in his first term. "It's a choice between returning to the top-down policies that crashed our economy, or a future that's built on providing opportunity to everybody and growing a strong middle class."
Romney argued that Obama had his chance and blew it.
"The president thinks more government is the answer," he said in Sanford, Fla. "No, Mr. President, more jobs, that's the answer for America."
With both sides keeping up the onslaught of political ads in battleground states right into Election Day, on one thing, at least, there was broad agreement: "I am ready for it to be over," said nurse Jennifer Walker in Columbus, Ohio.
It wasn't just the presidency at stake Tuesday: Every House seat, a third of the Senate and 11 governorships were on the line, along with state ballot proposals on topics ranging from gay marriage and casino gambling to repealing the death penalty and legalizing marijuana. Democrats were defending their majority in the Senate, and Republicans doing likewise in the House, raising the prospect of continued partisan wrangling in the years ahead no matter who might be president.
If past elections are any guide, a small but significant percentage of voters won't decide which presidential candidate they're voting for until Tuesday. Four percent of voters reported making up their minds on Election Day in 2008, and the figure was 5 percent four years earlier, according to exit polls. In Washington Lee High School in Arlington, Va., hundreds of voters were in line shortly after the polls opened at 6 a.m. and had to wait over an hour to cast their ballot.
By contrast, Election Day came early for more than a third of Americans, who chose to cast ballots days or even weeks in advance.
An estimated 46 million ballots, or 35 percent of the 133 million expected to be cast, were projected to be early ballots, according to Michael McDonald, an early voting expert at George Mason University who tallies voting statistics for the United States Elections Project. None of those ballots were being counted until Tuesday.
The two candidates and their running mates, propelled by adrenalin, throat lozenges and a determination to look back with no regrets, stormed through eight battleground states and logged more than 6,000 flight miles Monday on their final full day of campaigning, a political marathon featuring urgency, humor and celebrity.
Obama's final campaign rally, Monday night in Des Moines, Iowa, was filled with nostalgia. A single tear streamed down Obama's face during his remarks, though it was hard to tell whether it was from emotion or the bitter cold.
Team Obama's closing lineup included Bruce Springsteen, rapper Jay-Z, singers Mariah Carey, Ricky Martin and John Mellencamp, the NBA's Derek Fisher and actors Samuel L. Jackson and Chris Rock. Springsteen, who hitched a ride aboard Air Force One for part of the day, even composed an anthem for the president, rhyming "Obama" with "pajamas."
"Not the best I've ever written," the rocker confessed.
Obama, making his last run for office at the still-young age of 51, was tickled to have Springsteen along as his traveling campaign, telling the crowd in Madison, "I get to fly around with him on the last day that I will ever campaign - so that's not a bad way to end things."
Team Romney's closing events offered a slimmer celebrity quotient, including Kid Rock and country rock performers The Marshall Tucker Band. But the GOP nominee didn't seem to mind.
After a warm welcome at a rally in Fairfax, Va., Romney, 65, told cheering supporters: "I'm looking around to see if we have the Beatles here or something to have brought you. But it looks like you came just for the campaign and I appreciate it."
Wife Ann Romney addressed the crowd in suburban Washington, too.
"Are we going to be neighbors soon?" she asked hopefully.
Ryan alone logged more than 2,500 miles Monday as he hopped from Nevada to Colorado to Iowa to Ohio to Wisconsin.
At a rally in Reno, Nev., he told voters: "This feels like deja vu, doesn't it? You've seen a few of us around, haven't you?" He'd been at a rally just around the corner on Thursday.
Vice President Joe Biden crisscrossed Virginia, and fondly recalled his debate with Ryan during a stop in Richmond.
"You all learned what 'malarkey' means, didn't you?" he said. "Well, I heard a lot of malarkey."
Just in case everyone wasn't paying attention, Obama and Romney made a play for those tuned in to "Monday Night Football," each making satellite appearances on ESPN that aired during halftime of the Philadelphia Eagles-New Orleans Saints game.
The forecast for Election Day promised dry weather for much of the country, with rain expected in two battlegrounds, Florida and Wisconsin. But the closing days of the campaign played out against ongoing recovery efforts after Superstorm Sandy. Election officials in New York and New Jersey were scrambling to marshal generators, move voting locations, shuttle storm victims to polling places and take other steps to ensure everyone who wanted to vote could do so.
Obama, who voted 12 days early, was sure to observe his Election Day ritual of playing pickup basketball with friends and close advisers. The one time he skipped the tradition, he lost the New Hampshire primary in 2008.
"We won't make that mistake again," said senior adviser Robert Gibbs.
Romney was voting at a community center near his home in Belmont, Mass., before his sprint to Ohio and Pennsylvania. His campaign released a gauzy 5-minute Election Day web video called "The Moment" replaying key events from the campaign, with Romney assuring voters, "The future is better than the past."
The election played out with intensity in the small subset of battleground states: Colorado, Iowa, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin. Romney's late move to add Pennsylvania to the mix was an effort to expand his options, and Republicans poured millions into previously empty airwaves there.
In the campaign's final hours, voters around the country echoed the closing arguments of the two presidential candidates.
Obama supporter Gary Muratore, of Upper Arlington, Ohio, said Obama had rescued the country "from the brink of economic disaster."
"And while I don't think the pace of the recovery has been as fast as anyone would like, I think that the only way forward is to keep on the path that he started us down," said Muratore, 62, who attended an Obama rally in Columbus on Monday.
Romney backer Anastasia Loupakos, voting in Iowa City on Monday, said Romney was "the one to turn our economy around."
"I can't stand the thought of Barack as president for four more years," she said. "I couldn't stand him spending all of our money. I feel like he's destroying more jobs than he's creating."
After a long campaign that cost record sums and spawned far more political ads than ever before, Americans were showing fatigue at the end. A Pew Research Center poll released Monday showed 47 percent of Americans followed news about the election closely last week, down from 52 percent a week earlier.
Attorney John Martin, from Golden, Colo., filled out his mail-in ballot over the weekend. He didn't want to reveal whom he had chosen, but said he'd been "obsessively" watching the election for months.
Now, he's ready to move on.
"I'm old enough to be able to live with either outcome," he said.
Sometimes, it all seemed like overkill.
Biden stopped in at Mimi's Cafe in Sterling, Va., after a rally nearby. As one family left, a youngster grumbled, "So we came into the restaurant and still didn't get any food."

UNCTAD's work on harnessing international trade in promoting sustained growth and inclusive development includes as a key aspect, support to developing countries in taking advantages of emerging opportunities for trade associated with the protection, promotion and preservation of the environment and sustainable development objectives generally, while minimizing potential adverse impacts. This work is carried out by the Trade, Environment, Climate Change and Sustainable Development Branch of DITC.
Through research and analysis, intergovernmental deliberations and consensus building, and technical assistance, as well as partnerships and networks with an array of stakeholders, the Branch works to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to formulate and implement mutually supportive trade, environment and sustainable development objectives; integrate sustainable development and poverty reduction objectives in development strategies at all levels, including the need to address climate change implications inter alia by promoting climate-friendly trade and production strategies including in green sectors; and support the effective participation of developing countries in international deliberations on trade and environment.
The main areas of intervention include:
Small island developing States must develop resilient transport systems and look towards opportunities offered by the ocean if they are to boost their economies, a high-level side event organized by the Pacific Island Forum and UNCTAD heard during the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) on 3 September.
The Third Lao Organic Agriculture Forum (LOAF 3), jointly organized by UNCTAD and the ministries of Agriculture and Forestry, and Industry and Commerce of the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), took place in Vientiane in July.
UNCTAD is helping Ecuador to develop national "green sectors" that will expand exports and employment, while promoting sustainable development, in the first stage of a new programme on green export potential and policies.

Samardzija faces Rox seeking second win
Garland looks to go deep vs. Cubs after consecutive five-inning outings
There are better indicators of a pitcher's effectiveness than his win-loss record. Still, it's a stat that's measured, and Cubs right-hander Jeff Samardzija has only seen it worsen since holding Pittsburgh to two hits over eight innings in a win to start the year.
Samardzija's last outing was particularly painful. In five innings against the Nationals, he surrendered a season-high seven runs, five of which were earned. He'll be looking to turn things around on Wednesday, when he'll grab the ball at Wrigley Field opposite Rockies righty Jon Garland.
The clubs have split the first two games of the three-game set. On Tuesday, the Rockies won, 9-4.
"On my part, I needed to make a couple better pitches and get out of those innings with no damage and get your offense back in the dugout to score some runs," Samardzija said after his last start. "I have to take the positive out of today and how I was pounding the zone. I used my fastball a lot, my pitch count was down. I was efficient."
Whatever positives there were did not result in Samardzija's first win since Opening Day. He's 1-5 with a 3.70 ERA this season.
Garland, on the other hand, won as recently as May 4. He carries a 3-3 record and 4.83 ERA into Wednesday. In each of his past two outings, he's given up three runs in five innings.
"He battled, got in some deep counts more than he's probably accustomed to," Colorado manager Walt Weiss said after that May 4 start. "But like he can, he found a way through it. In the end, he did his job, giving us a chance to win and I'm glad he ended up getting the 'W.' He fought hard for it."
Rockies: Tight defense a goal in rubber match
• Colorado won on Tuesday despite a careless effort in the field. Eric Young and Edgmer Escalona both committed errors.
• Josh Rutledge, Young and Carlos Gonzalez have all homered during this series. Gonzalez had two on Tuesday, giving him nine for the year.
Cubs: Valbuena expected to return to lineup
• Chicago expected third baseman Luis Valbuena to return to the lineup on Wednesday. He sprained the little finger on his right hand when sliding into third base on Saturday. Valbuena is batting .272 in 31 games with five home runs, five doubles and 13 RBIs.
• Alfonso Soriano and Darwin Barney have both gone deep for the Cubs in this series.
Worth noting
• In 2012, the Rockies won the season series, 4-2.
• The Cubs are 6-6 in May, while Colorado is 5-7.

Front View larger Kicker 11DX250.1 Mono subwoofer amplifier — 250 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms Item #: 2061DX2501 22 Reviews This item is no longer available. Original Price: $139.99 Shop all Car Amplifiers Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Ken Nail You want power for your subs. But Kicker DX amplifiers give you something extra — clean power. Kicker's FIT™ — Fail-Safe Integration Technology — rejects noise from alternators, audio/video gear, and other car electronics for crisp, clean operation. An inexpensive optional adapter lets this amplifier accept output from factory radios too, so you can hook up the DX250.1 to almost any car. Delivers up to 250 watts The DX250.1 mono amp sends 250 watts RMS to your 2-ohm sub, or 140 watts to a 4-ohm sub. The built-in low-pass filter sends only the notes below 80 Hz to your sub, while the subsonic filter removes the super-low frequencies that your sub can't play. A bass boost lets you add some extra bump in your music, and you can add an optional remote bass boost for driver's seat control. You'll also find the set of preamp outputs handy for getting signal to another amp in your system. Team this amp with Kicker subs and save Take away the worry of picking the right subs. This Kicker bass package adds a pair of 12" Comp Kicker subs to the amp, while this bass package adds a single 12" Comp sub.

Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.
Kicker Mono Block 250.1 Written By Steven, Cypress, ca on Tuesday, September 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This kicker amp is great ! Small size and great for under your seat or in the trunk. Powerful for its size you can run a variety of speakers. 8"-10"-12" Pros: Small, compact and powerful for the price. Easy to install with 4 screws and come with all the terminal connectors you need. High or Low inputs no converter needed. Multiple adjustments for tuning the amp. Cons: Doesn't come with a remote on the base model. A must have for the best experience
great power for the price. Written By RichW, Forsyth MO on Tuesday, September 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent amp! Small frame and impressive power! I've been a Rockford Fosgate user all of my life. This is the first bon Fosgate base amp I've purchased and I would definitely buy it or its bigger brother again. Pros: Small physical size
Very Happy! Written By Ryan C., Cherryvale, KS on Monday, May 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered this amp along with 2 Kicker 12s and am very happy with the results. I don't listen to too much bass heavy music, but wanted to add something so I can hear the full range and my music will stay clean at higher volumes. The result has exceeded my expectations.
Awesome! Written By Gordo, Bakersfield, CA on Monday, March 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this in a package deal with a Kicker 12" sub. This amp gives more than enough juice needed to power my 12" kicker. Love it Pros: All Cons: None
Great Amo Written By David, Princeton, WV on Tuesday, December 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great amp. Easy install. Pretty much plug and play Pros: Easy to install. Perfect price point. Cons: None
Fat Sound Written By john k, randolph NJ on Saturday, September 07, 2013 great amp. Used it to power a Kicker TC-10 box connected to subwoofer outlet of an Alpine 137BT. no instructions or manual but support emailed me the info. pretty easy to set-up.Only driving the subwoofer with it (the other four speakers are off the head for now) but it's in a jeep wrangler.Fat bass & extra punch. Does not work equally well in all 3 modes so my switch is all the way to the right. very happy with results.
Kicker 11DX250.1 Written By rlhenry61, Clifton,AZ on Friday, August 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great amp for pushing subs in a mild system. I have two, one pushing a Kicker 10" and another pushing a JL 12". It's little light for the 12, but still does a great job. Works perfectly with a single 10.
Great little amp Written By brian chevy malibu, kentucky on Thursday, July 25, 2013 I decided to upgrade the factory sound system in my car since I drive roughly an hour a day for the work commute. Put the pioneer app radio 3 and jl audio component speakers. Shopped around for the best price. This made a world of difference. After a few weeks I decided to get a sub and amp. I have little ones that ride with me all of the time that love music. So didn't want anything too loud. Im normally a jl audio believer but didn't want to shell out the money. I did a litle research and purchased a Polk audio 8" sub and box combo. Then I paired it with this amp. Really impressed with the dynamics of this system. Everyone that rides with me swears I have a much higher end system. The output is really impressive considering I only have my amp turned up a little under half way. I have under 200 invested in this set up and it moves the air and my kids always want to ride in my car over my truck or my wife's Avalon.I got this car to keep the miles off my beloved truck. Now I choose to take my malibu on about every trip. I am so impressed that I am going to purchase this same sub and amp combo for our Avalon as my wife is jealous. She has the jbl factory system with an open air sub. It sounds good but missing on the low end. This will he a great anniversary present. Pros: Easy to install Quality brand name Value Cons: None
Kicker 11DX250.1 Written By Anonymous, Riverbank ca 95367 on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very impressed with the product. The crutchfield team is extremly helpful. Pros: Small great power and sound very clean.
Awesome Written By Anonymous, Newport News, VA on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) No frills amp for Kicker subwoofer. Installed in Jeep Wrangler. Pros: Small Cons: M/A
Nice! Written By Susan, Michigan on Monday, April 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice amp that worked well with an 8 inch Polk sub. Teenage son was grinning ear to ear with his new system! Pros: Good sound Easy to install Cons: None so far
Great for the money Written By Good buy, Morgantown, ky on Saturday, March 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great with my pair of kicker c10 subs. The amp pushes the pair very good. Pros: Easy install.
Great Amp!!!! Written By bg, texas on Wednesday, January 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great amp! I have it pushing 2 kicker comp 12's under rear seat of 09 sierra. Im using about 25% power and it hits hard!! Pros: Easy install thanks to tech support Cons: None
Kicker 11DX250.1 Written By Robert, El Paso, TX on Monday, August 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Its a very nice amp with great features and no clipping. Sounds great and clear. Pros: Very powerful and cheap. More power than i need. Cons: Gets warm if theres no air ventilation under it. I have 1inch spacers to keep a gap between the amp and my seat and now theres no problem at all.
Good Stuff Written By Jjkinsd, San Marcos, CA on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought on recommendation from Crutchfield advisor to match up with a single Kenwood shallow mount 150w 8" sub. It's been only 3 weeks but so far I am pleased with the matchup. This a simple amp, no xover settings (built in 80hz lp) just power gain and a bass boost option (great for some stuff, over powering for other) I may opt to get the remote bass control (not offered at Crutchfield?) for a little more control (I listen to a wide variety of music). I can see the potential, as other reviewers have said, for this thing to run warm. I have it under the driver seat, with ample air space beneath it and I believe this will work just fine. I am still dealing with overall fine tuning of the complete system but currently have the gain set to close to max and I am getting solid distortion free sound to the sub. Pros: Simple setup. Turn on options. Extra terminals for paralell setups. Cons: None
Kicker 11DX250.1 Written By Austin D, Memphis TN on Monday, April 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Beautiful sounding amp. Especially for the size and the price. For a struggling college student, this was definitely a good purchase and should last me well until I'm able to afford a more powerful system. Pros: Low price. High Quality. Cons: No filter adjustments and the gain control knob is sold separately. And honestly I wouldn't mind getting a decal with the amp. Just saying.
Nice sound for the price. Written By KerryBertrand, Holden, LA on Monday, April 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy install and simple to wire. I am using it behind a crossover just to add a little bump to a factory system. Pros: Easy to install Cons: None yet.
Its ight Written By Kickeramp, Cailfornia on Sunday, March 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's pretty cheap which is good and pushes my 12'' kicker comp , but if you wanna upgrade to a heavier subwoofer then you would need more power. I like the bass boost knob and the low input setting, but the gain control needs to be adjusted with a screwdriver which is fine, but I like to adjust my bass while I am driving. This is an easy fix if you have the gain control remote, but that remote is sold sepratley. Pros: Cheap and quality Cons: Not much power
OK, BUT...... Written By Dave, PA on Saturday, February 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This amp performs well for the money. The reason I gave it only 2 stars is that the instructions and manual suck. It is a mono Subwoofer amp and there is NO I REPEAT NO instructions on hooking it up to the sub. There are 2 channels on this amp like any other amp. I have no idea if I am losing power due to incomplete instructions. Let me be clear, I have been hooking up car stereos for over ten years, I know what I'm doing. But to have an amp that you pay good money for from a known brand, the least they could do is provide specific instructions on it. Pros: Good price for this brand Cons: Horrible instructions.
Simple Written By Nathan, Elk Grove, CA on Thursday, February 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not a bad starter amp, very little controls besides gain and a bass boost. Its a simple mono amplifier with 250 watts of pushing power. I have it hooked up to a single sony explod 12" which seems to be a little bit too much for this little amp to handle, but it still does push it decently. Its probably best with a smaller 8"-10" bass tube or sub. I recommend this amp if you need a little extra "kick" in the low notes of your sound system, just don't expect to knock the mirrors off with this amp. It does however get VERY HOT if you leave it sitting on the carpet or an area with poor airflow. I got a couple 1X2 planks, painted them black to match my carpet and bolted the amp to that so there is an air gap under the amp, it stays much cooler now. I also had a hard time getting it to turn on using the other modes, it would only turn on using a REM wire hooked up to a 12V switched power source behind the head unit. Pros: Build quality, price, simplicity Cons: Power output, gets very hot if you don't give it a small gap of air to run under it, tempermental with the auto turn on, only worked with REM wire.
Great amp for my application Written By Smith, Kent, OH on Saturday, January 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed this in my 91 Miata with 8 inch Kicker subwoofer and Clarion head unit. Much better sound then I anticipated. This was a parcel shelf installation with the amp mounted in the trunk. I previously replaced the factory speakers with little improvement. This current upgrade was much more impressive Pros: Price and quality Cons: limited adjustments
Great small sub amp Written By Bill H., Oklahoma on Friday, January 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great starter amp,great kicker quality at a great price. I have it on a comp 10 and sounds great!

Cancers of at the junction of the esophagus and stomach (esophagogastric cancers) that produce high levels of a protein called HER2 may be treated with trastuzumab, a drug that targets this protein. However, in some patients, the cancer continues growing despite trastuzumab therapy.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug called afatanib (also called BIBW 2992), which also targets HER2, in patients with metastatic esophagogastric cancer that has continued to grow despite trastuzumab treatment. Afatinib is a pill that is taken orally (by mouth).
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

National Street Rod Association - The Milwaukee Nationals
Written by on November 1, 2005 The NSRA Welcomes Some New FriendsHistory was made this past summer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when the first post-'48 vehicles rolled through the front gates of a National Street Rod Association event. Throughout its entire 36-year history, attendance at National Street Rod Association events has been limited to pre-'48-bodied vehicles. With the Milwaukee Nationals that has changed, and as a result, the event was a resounding success.
Almost 1,700 vehicles were registered for this inaugural event, with modified vintage rides up to '75 welcome. With the NSRA's expanded entries came the much-expected customs of the '50s, musclecars of the '60s, and street machines of the early '70s.
Catching the eye of many truck-loving spectators was the large number of very cool commercial vehicles that included several hundred pickups and panel trucks. The wide variety of hot haulers ran the gamut from the traditional '30s and '40s street rod versions of closed-cab and roadster pickups (typically seen at NSRA events) to the wildly popular 1/2-ton haulers from the '50s, as well as the muscle trucks of the '60s and '70s. The expanded mix was a special treat with event participants who appreciated the wider range of vintage vehicles rolling about the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds. It also offered an opportunity for the friendly exchange of customizing and styling ideas that can only help all aspects of our growing vintage-vehicle hobby. It was easy to contrast the diverse styling of vehicles when a '40 Ford pickup was sandwiched between a '32 Ford roadster and a blown '66 Chevy Nova.
Sunday's awards ceremonies demonstrated the popularity of trucks has reached an all-time high. Event director Tom Biles opened the ceremonies by mentioning the grand prize to be given away to a lucky participant at this year's Street Rod Nationals in Louisville: a '37 Ford pickup built by Downs Manufacturing. Many of the 33 vehicles honored at the awards were trucks, including the Event Director's Pick, a '48 Chevy pickup. As the awards came to a close, a lucky participant's number was drawn and the holder won the grand prize: an '05 Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck!
The inaugural Milwaukee Nationals proved any skeptics wrong. The event was a popular beginning of a new era for the National Street Rod Association. The post-'48 trucks on hand took their rightful place alongside the deuce roadsters, sleek customs, and musclecar cousins in the hot rod hobby.

Agreed! I really wanted this shirt. I hope the artist makes it anyway.
Nope. I did a search for shirts and images like this before I made this design and didn't find anything. However, I would be surprised if a simple idea like this hadn't been done before, just like all the other designs for this week. I followed the link to the image you provided, but I can only find that image, I can't find a page where the image is used. Bummer, I would have liked to see about buying it. I still want to be a T-Rex.

I am kind of hoping this doesnt print in the derby, just so woot can make it a glow in the dark shirt the next day as an editors choice! (hint woot!)

Leading From Behind: Obama Asks Cabinet For Gun Proposals
With most leaders, this would be a wise move: asking underlings for ideas. With Obama, it's a way to appear as if he is Doing Something, and if the recommendations are too extreme, he can simply Blame Others and divorce himself from those recommendations
(Washington Post) President Obama on Monday began the first serious push of his administration to attempt to reduce gun violence, directing Cabinet members to formulate a set of proposals that could include reinstating a ban on assault rifles.
Connecticut has its own assault weapons ban in place, and the Bushmaster .223 was legal under that law. And would have been legal under the 1994 federal assault weapons ban.
The effort will be led by Vice President Biden, according to two people outside the government who have spoken to senior administration officials since Friday, when a gunman killed his mother and rampaged through Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., killing 20 children, six adults and himself. (big snip)
Obama, who has appeared shaken by the Sandy Hook shootings, met Monday with Biden, who advocated for stricter gun-control measures during his years in the Senate. The president also spoke Monday with Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius "to begin looking at ways the country can respond to the tragedy in Newtown," according to a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Eric Holder is one of the last people who should be asked, considering his track record which had 2,000 guns, many of which would be covered by the assault weapons ban, being walked across the border into Mexico and responsible for over 200 Mexican deaths, and the murders of at least 2 US federal border agents. Strange that liberals/Democrats never became upset about that. I guess they hate Mexicans.
"We need to accept the reality that we're not doing enough to protect our citizens," Reid, the Senate majority leader, said after a moment of silence on the chamber's floor. "In the coming days and weeks, we'll engage in a meaningful conversation and proper debate about how to change laws and culture that allow this violence to continue to grow. . . . And every idea should be on the table."
Whenever elected officials start talking about doing more, watch out, because there will be lots of restrictions on personal liberty, especially when "every idea should be on the table" regarding laws and culture. I do find it interesting that none of Obama's peeps nor Harry Reid were particularly concerned with gun violence when it involved Obama's home town of Chicago.
By the time the process concludes, White House officials suggested, the proposals will probably include ideas to address mental illness and the violence depicted in popular culture – a strategy aimed at focusing the proposal on more than limiting gun ownership.
Hmm, what route will this take? Will the rights of people be affected just because they might be considered a "bit off" by societal standards?
After a family vacation in Hawaii, Obama will face preparations for his second inauguration, second-term staffing issues and his goal of pushing quickly for immigration-reform legislation….
Ah, so he's still going on vacation after this tragedy? As usual, he feels he's done his job and is moving on.
Finally, just to be clear, I have no problem enacting some sort of assault weapons ban, which would focus on weapons that are automatic. Also, restricting magazines to 12 for handguns. And, restrict the manufacture of some rounds, such as fragmenting and those meant to puncture ballistic vests.
